1. Iran has threatened to fight back if attacked, and that’s a war
crime. War crimes must be punished.
2. My television says Iran has nukes. I’m sure it’s true this time.
Just like with North Korea. I’m sure they’re next. We only bomb
places that really truly have nukes and are in the Axis of Evil.
Except Iraq, which was different.
3. Iraq didn’t go so badly. Considering how lousy its government
is, the place is better off with so many people having left or died.
Really, that one couldn’t have worked out better if we’d planned it.
4. When we threaten to cut off Iran’s oil, Iran threatens to cut
Arab terrorist
off
Iran’s oil, which is absolutely intolerable. What would we do
attacks U. S. ally
with
out that oil? And what good is buying it if they want to sell it?
with DU missiles
5. Iran was secretly behind 9-11. I read it online. And if it wasn’t,
Page 13
that’s worse. Iran hasn’t attacked another
nation in centuries, which means its next
attack is guaranteed to be coming very
American ship attacked soon.
6. Iranians are religious nuts, unlike
without warning
Israelis and Americans. Most Israelis don’t
Page 4
want to attack Iran, but the Holy Israeli
government does. To oppose that decision
would be to sin against God.
7. Iranians are so stupid that when we
murder their scientists they try to hire a
car dealer in Texas to hire a drug gang in
Mexico to murder a Saudi ambassador in
Washington, and then they don’t do it – just
to make us look bad for catching them.
Oh, and stupid people should be bombed.
They’re not civilized.
8. War is good for the U. S. economy,
and the Iranian economy too. Troops
stationed in Iran would buy stuff. And
women who survived the war would have
more rights. Like in Virginia. We owe the
Iranians this af ter that little mishap in
1953.
9. This is the only way to unite the
region. Either we bomb Iran and it swears
eternal love for us, or, if necessary, we
occupy Iran to liberate it like its neighbors.
Which shouldn’t take long. Look how well
Afghanistan is going already.
10. They won’t give our drone back.
Enough said.

BRITAIN and the U. S. beg Israel not to
attack Iran’s nuclear facilities; the sanctions
need time to work. Tehran, currently being
visited by U. N. inspectors, isn’t making
atomic weapons. But Israel could be on an
unstoppable path to a military strike.
IRAN having cut its oil flow to France
and the U. K. on Feb. 20, that State now
threatens to disconnect more of Europe.
Iran’s State TV reports Iranian officials
saying oil prices will rise well above $150
dollars a barrel. This is alarming, since
the cuts have already sent gas prices to
near all-time records in Europe.

mill through his law office for nearly 13

rabbi with eleven others having submitted
fraudulent paperwork to the immigration

of illegal aliens who had paid exorbitant

make them give up slavery.”
And now for the facts
All of what follows here is verbatim from
Compton’s Pictured Encyclopedia, 1942
edition, i.e., prior to political correctness:
The commercial interests of Providence
had their beginnings in the 17th century,
and in 1711 ship building began. But in
those days before the Revolution the ships
of Providence were busied chiefly in a
great triangular trade in which, it has been
said, one-fourth of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence were bred,
but which we now consider a shameful
business for a free country. A ship taking
lumber to the West Indies would bring
back sugar and molasses to be distilled into
rum. The rum would be shipped to the west
coast of Africa and there traded for slaves,
which in turn were sold in the West Indies
or the Southern States to buy more sugar
and molasses. Rhode Island merchants were
thus the greatest slave-traders in America.
Samuel Hopkins said in 1770 that there
were 150 ships engaged in the slave trade,
30 distilleries making rum, and that his
fel low col o nists had “en slaved more
Africans than any other colony in New
England.”
Seriously, now
This luxury steamer has had an accident
crossing the North Sea and is going down.
With all lifeboats lowered away, many are
still left on board. Given life jackets and
told to jump, they hesitate. A crew member
notifies the captain, who comes and has a
word with them, after which they spring
into the water one behind another. The first
officer asks how he did that. “Very simple”
replies the captain. “To the Germans I said
it’s an order. I told the French it’s patriotic.
I advised the Japanese this would improve
their potency. And, to the Italians, I said
springing overboard is forbidden.”

Unruh continues, ‘‘Sources close to the
Tenth Amendment Center say as many as
ten States will con sider leg is lation or
resolutions in response to the detention
provisions in section 1021 and 1022 of the
NDAA” the organization is reporting. “Lawmakers in Rhode Island and Washington
will likely introduce resolutions authored

within the next week. Additionally, local
governments, including Fremont County,
Colorado, and El Paso County, Colorado,
have passed resolution condemning the

“Tenth Amendment Center executive
director Michael Boldin commented that
‘federal politicians never seem to repeal

the conduct of the national rulers, and will
be ready enough, if any thing improper
appears, to sound the alarm to the people,
and not only to be the voice, but, if necessary,
the arm of their discontent.”
Wow! Did you catch that? Hamilton
said that the States held the right and duty
to resist federal encroachment with their
“voices” and with their “arms.”
Does any of this sound like America’s
Founding Fathers expected the States to be
lap dogs for federal usurpation of power?
They fully recognized that it would take
the individual States standing against any
potential federal overreach to protect and
se cure the rights and lib er ties of the
American people.
By Chuck Baldwin
riting for World Net Daily, Bob
Unruh reports a refreshing story of how
individual sovereign States are beginning
to push back against
federal overreach. Unruh
writes, “State and lo cal
officials in surging numbers
are telling Washington they
simply won’t co op er ate
with any plans to detain
Amer i cans the fed eral
government may choose to describe as
‘belligerents.’
“The issue centers on provisions in the
National Defense Authorization Act of
2012, signed by President Obama, for the
indefinite and rights-free detention of
those Washington cites as belligerents,
whether American citizens or not.
“WND reported when Rep. Daniel P.
Gordon Jr. immediately drafted a resolution
in the Rhode Island legislature to express
opposition to the sections of the NDAA
‘that sus pend ha beas cor pus and civil

confirms that the resistance to the federal
bureaucracy is catching on.”

overbroad and open to interpretation,’ he
said. ‘That leaves me to trust in the good
character and moral clarity of Barack
Obama, Rick Santorum or who ever
happens to reside at the White House, to
protect me and my fellow Americans from
abuse of his power. No thanks.’”
As I have said repeatedly,
the only hope for preserving
liberty and freedom is for
individual sovereign States
to do what they were created
to do: protect the rights and
liberties of State citizens from
the overreach and despotic
propensities of the miscreants
in Washington, D. C.
If freedom-loving people in the body
politic truly intend to see to it that their
rights and liberties are preserved, they will
pay much more attention – and be much
more attuned – to electing State governors,
legislators, attorney generals, etc., than they
are electing U. S. congressmen, senators,
and even electing the President.
With the exception of Ron Paul, there is
not a major party Presidential candidate who
will make a dime’s worth of difference in
protecting the liberties and freedoms of the
American citizenry. Both Republicans and
Democrats in Washington, D. C., are all
about empire-building, foreign interventionism, and expanding the Welfare and
Warfare States. Furthermore, none of them
(with the exception of Ron Paul) would do
anything to thwart or reverse the burgeoning
Police State that is currently being rapidly
constructed in this country. That means, as
Michael Boldin said, “It’s going to take
‘We the People’ in our states to stand up
and say, ‘No!’”
Putting the skeer on ’em
And, quite frankly, that’s about the only
thing that the power elite in Washington,
D. C., are wor ried about. They aren’t
worried about Afghanistan, Iraq or Iran.
Those are all orchestrated conflicts to keep
our troops fighting endless wars, to have
an excuse to print more and more fiat
cur rency, to satisfy the inter national
bankers who are making trillions of dollars
off the military-industrial complex, and to
give them an excuse of “national security”
in or der to strip away more and more
freedoms from the American citizenry. But
State governors, legislators and attorney
generals who actually believe the Constitution and who have the courage to defend
it, now that scares them to death! Why?
Because they know that the real power in
this country rests with “We the People”
who, through our State governments, have
the ability to actually stop their quest for
globalism and feudalism.
America’s Founding Fathers clearly
understood that the States are the ultimate
guardians of the peoples’ liberties. James
Madison (and even Alexander Hamilton)
spoke to this eloquently in the Federalist
Papers.
In Federalist #46, Madison said, “Were
it admitted, how ever, that the Fed eral
government may feel an equal disposition
with the State governments to extend its
power beyond the due limits, the [States]
would still have the advantage in the
means of defeating such encroachments
[emphasis added]. By “defeating such
en croach ments,” Mad i son in cluded
“op po si tion,” “re fusal to co op er ate,”
“frowns of the [State] ex ec u tive,”
“obstructions” and “plans of resistance.”
Did you see that? America’s fourth
President and Father of the Constitution
said that it was the duty of the States to
obstruct, oppose, resist and otherwise refuse
to cooperate with any federal policy or
mandate that runs counter to the principles
of liberty. And, remember, this is from the
man who authored the so-called “supremacy
clause” of the U. S. Constitution!
The sovereign State
In Federalist #45, Madison said, “Thus,
each of the prin ci pal branches of the
federal government will owe its existence
more or less to the fa vor of the State
governments, and must consequently feel a
dependence, which is much more likely to
beget a disposition too obsequious than too
overbearing towards them. On the other
side, the component parts of the State
gov ern ments will in no in stance be
indebted for their appointment to the direct
agency of the federal government, and
very little, if at all, to the local influence of
its members.”
I will say it again: it is far more important
who is elected as your governor than who
is elected President. It is far more important
who is elected as your State attor ney
general than who is appointed U. S. attorney
general. It is far more important who is
elected to your State legislature than who is
elected to the U. S. House and Senate. It is
far more important who is elected as your
sheriff than who is appointed Director of
the FBI. But if all you watch is FOX News,
CNN, NBC, CBS and ABC, you will be
mesmerized with national politics and you
will forget about that which is the most
important defender of our liberties: our
individual State governments. In fact, in
many cases to day, our State and lo cal
governments are as abusive of our liberties
as is the federal government. This is mainly
due to the inattention and misunderstanding
of the Peo ple as to the impor tance of
electing local and State leaders who will
accept – as their first responsibility – the
maintenance of liberty for the people they
represent. And, by nature, that means being
a faithful watchdog to the incursions of the
federal government against our freedoms.
It is encouraging to read that at least
ten States are pushing back against the
monstrously unconstitutional NDAA. If all
fifty States would act as courageously as
these tenacious ten – and not just against
the NDAA but also against every assault of
the federal government on our liberties –
America could be restored to the “land of
the free” very quickly. As it is, however, the
protectors and guardians of our liberties
(our State leaders and county sheriffs) are
being bribed, coerced, cajoled, harangued
and intimidated into cowardly submission
by these belligerent bullies in Washington,
D. C.
Heroes
Thank you, Representative Daniel P.
Gordon, Jr., of Rhode Island. Thank you,
Delegate Bob Marshall of Virginia. Thank
you to all of you State legislators, State
senators and county sheriffs across our
great land who truly understand the oath
you took to the Constitution and who are
willing to stand as the watchdogs of our
liberties. It is a truism that if our tribe does
not increase, its freedoms are surely lost.

would be de pend ent upon the State

But what do we hear today? Even these

talking heads say just the opposite. They
keep insisting that the States are dependent

Even the colonists’ biggest proponent of
central government, Alexander Hamilton,
had it right on the power of the States to
resist federal encroachment. In Federalist
#26, Hamilton said, “Independent of …

went this way: We would send a tractor to
plow some area where it wasn’t possible to
do anything – [it was] in the demilitarized

Syrians would start to shoot. If they didn’t
shoot, we would tell the tractor to advance
further, until in the end the Syrians would
get annoyed and shoot. And then we would
use artillery and later the air force… And
that’s how it was.”
Furthermore, Dayan thought that the
land would have to be given back to Syria
if there was ever to be peace in the region,
and taking it would result in the loss of
many Israeli soldiers. Then why did he
give the order to invade? Essentially it was
because of pressure from the would-be
settlers who convinced Levi Eshkol, the
Israeli prime minister, to occupy the
Heights and the fertile lands beyond. When
asked if that was all there was to it, Dayan
re plied, “I can tell you with ab so lute

The Israelis maintained that the new IsraelEgyptian border was the median line in the
Gulf and the oil fields were to the east of
the line, therefore under Israeli control.
General Yitzhak Rabin came to Washington
very shortly after the war to press the
claim. He said that Israel had occupied the
drilling platforms during the war (which
might have changed the legality of the
matter) but, in fact, the general was lying
and we knew it.
That did not deter General Rabin. He
hadn’t come to negotiate; he had come to
dictate and he proceeded to tell Secretary
of State Rusk what “the United States had
to do.” He even gave a schedule: this must
be done today, this tomorrow and this by
the end of the week.

Dean Rusk was a mild Georgian, a
gentleman who never lost his temper, never
raised his voice. He was also completely

Goldman Sachs’ shadow
By Bob Livingston

personalliberty.com
t is well known that Goldman Sachs
recommended stocks related to the housing
mortgage mania at the same time that it
shorted the stocks. Goldman Sachs is the
ghost over America, and it is a proxy for
the elite crime that has wrecked the country
and impoverished the middle class.
Goldman Sachs rules the
world for the one percent
The U. S. political system – indeed, that
of the whole world – is dysfunctional
because it is run by Goldman Sachs for
Goldman Sachs. Nobody goes to jail,
and there are only hand slaps from the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Because of the heavy influence of
Goldman Sachs in our government and
in gov ern ments around the world, it
operates above the law and takes every
advantage for its own people. This is
getting to be public knowledge, but the
American people are paralyzed as far as
any action by the lapdog U. S. Congress.
There is nowhere for the people to turn in
a nationwide system of organized crime
under the aegis of private investment
banks. The recent collapse and bankruptcy
of MF Global is a huge factor in eroding
public confidence. It appears that client
funds (investors), even though segregated,
were used to speculate for MF Global’s
own account.
Innocent as a Congressman
Jon Corzine, who ran MF Global into
the ground, losing vast sums of investor
funds, told a Congressional committee that
he “didn’t know where the money went.”
Corzine is a former CEO of Goldman
Sachs and former Governor of New Jersey,
a bankrupt State. Some people believe
Corzine is in line to be the next Treasury
Secretary in the Obama Administration.
The likes of Corzine, Raj Rajaratnam,
Bernie Madoff, Rajat Gupta and a legion of
legal gangsters are gaming the system to
enrich the Wall Street club. When widespread corruption is on the public stage,
how long before the collapse of the whole
system?
The pied pipers of Babylon have no
clothes and they have no shame. They fear
no prosecution because they remain the
privileged elite. These are the same people

trigger.
Goldman Sachs does n’t stop at the
U. S. border. Mario Monti, the new Prime
Minister of Italy, the new European Central
Bank President Mario Draghi and the
freshly-appointed Greek Prime Minister
Lucas Papademos are all Goldman
Sachs alumni. Add to this Petros

They are not oblivious to the coming

This is the expected pattern that develops
in the chaos and crisis of the collapse of a
despotic government. All this is in the next
chapter when national governments default.
For those who have eyes to see, it is already
The following is quoted from
Marc Faber in his Gloom, Boom &
Doom Report of Dec. 31:
Two other heavyweight members
of Goldman’s European network have
also figured large in the euro crisis:
Otmar Issing, a former member of the
Bundesbank board of directors and one-time
chief economist of the European Central
Bank, and Ireland’s Peter Sutherland, an
administrator for Goldman Sachs International, who played a behind-the-scenes
role in the Irish bailout.
Banking as art
Marc Roche then goes on to explain that
Goldman Sachs’ trading room benefited
from this “capital of relationships.” That
may certainly have been the case, but we
need to put this network of “friends” in the
proper perspective. The other large financial
institutions, and for that matter all major
corporations, also have their “friends” in
high places, plus their lobbyists who can
influence the legislative process. In addition,
judged by the performance of Goldman
Sachs’ stock, the in vest ment bank’s
connections have lately been less useful.
So, I am not a member of the Goldman
Sachs detractor fraternity, as I know well
that Goldman only did what all the other
financial institutions have done, which is
to use the dysfunctional political system
and the money-printing central banks to
their advantage. However, I will say that
Goldman Sachs perfected the art and was
therefore better at it.
The point I am driv ing at is that a
reckless meritocracy creates an enormous
economic and political mess.
Yet, investors are looking at the very
same people to solve the prob lems by
imple ment ing ap pro pri ate fis cal and

carefully at the proposed measures (mostly

in the Court the hearings are taking place at
and therefore, I am somewhat limited as to
what I can say. We were limited to 5 minutes
each.
Victim impact statement
I wish to thank the Court for allowing
me these 5 minutes to make my statement.
My references to the government in this
statement refer to the Federal Government
excluding this Court and the prosecution. On
Christmas Day 2009, my wife and I were
returning from an African safari and had a
connecting flight through Amsterdam. As
we waited for our flight, we sat on the floor
next to the boarding gate. What I witnessed
while sitting there and subsequent events
have changed my life forever. While I sat
there, I witnessed Umar dressed in jeans
and a white t-shirt, being escorted around
security by a man in a tan suit who spoke
perfect American English and who aided
Umar in boarding without a passport. The
airline gate worker initially refused Umar
board ing un til the man in the tan suit
intervened. The event meant nothing to me
at the time. Little did I know that Umar
would try to kill me a few hours later as our
flight approached Detroit. The final 10
min utes of our flight af ter the at tack
were the worst minutes of my life. During
those 10 minutes I sat paralyzed in fear.
Unfortunately, what happened next has
had an even greater impact on my life and
has saddened me further.
When we landed, I was shocked that our
plane taxied up to the gate. I was further
shocked that we were forced to sit on the
plane for 20 minutes with powder from
the so called bomb all over the cabin. The
officers that boarded the plane did nothing
to ensure our safety and did not check for
accomplices or other explosive devices.
Several passengers trampled through parts
of the bomb as they exited the plane. We
were then taken into the terminal with our
unchecked carry-on bags. Again, there was
no concern for our safety even though Umar
told the officers that there was another
bomb on board as he exited the plane. I
wondered why nobody was concerned
about our safety, accomplices or other
bombs and the lack of concern worried me
greatly. I immediately told the FBI my
story in order to help catch the accomplice
I had seen in Amsterdam. It soon became
obvious that the FBI wasn’t interested in
what I had to say, which upset me further.
For one month the government refused to
admit the existence of the man in the tan
suit before changing course and admitting
his existence in an ABC News article on
January 22, 2010. That was the last time
the government talked about this man. The
video that would prove the truth of my
account has never been released. I continue
to be emo tion ally upset that the video
has not been released. The Dutch police,
meanwhile, in this article (show article),
also confirmed that Umar did not show his
passport in Amsterdam which also meant
that he didn’t go through security as both
are in the same line in Am ster dam. It
upsets me that the government refuses to
admit this fact.
I became further saddened from this
case when Patrick Kennedy of the State
Department during Congressional hearings
admitted that Umar was a known terrorist,
was being followed, and the U. S. allowed
him into the U. S. so that it could catch
Umar’s accomplices. I was once again
shocked and saddened when Michael Leiter
of the National Counter terrorism Center
admitted during these same hearings that
inten tion ally letting terror ists into the
U. S. was a frequent practice of the U. S.
Government. I cannot fully explain my
sadness, disappointment and fear when I
realized that my government allowed an
attack on me intentionally.
They do it repeatedly
During this time, I questioned if my
country intentionally put a known terrorist
onto my flight with a live bomb. I had
many sleepless nights over this issue. My
answer came shortly thereafter. In late
2010, the FBI ad mit ted to giv ing out
in ten tion ally de fec tive bombs to the
Portland Christmas Tree Bomber, the
Wrigley Field Bomber and several others.
Further, Mr. Chambers was quoted in the
Free Press on January 11, 2011 when he
in di cated that the gov ern ment’s own
explosives experts had indicated that
Umar’s bomb was impossibly defective. I
wondered how that could be. Certainly, I
thought, Al Qaeda wouldn’t go through all
of the trouble to plan such an attack only to
provide the terrorist with an impossibly
defective bomb.
I at tended nearly all of the pretrial
hearings. At the hearing on January 28,
2011, I was greatly disappointed by the
prosecution’s request to block evidence
from Mr. Chambers “as it could then be
able to be obtained by third parties, who
could use it in a civil suit against the
government.” It really bothered me that the
government apparently was admitting to
wrongdoing of some kind as it admitted
that it was concerned it would be sued. It
further upset me to know that the government was putting its own interests ahead of
those of the passengers.
When I at tended the jury se lec tion
hearings, I questioned why versions of the
same two questions kept coming up, those
being:
1. Do you think you’ll be able to tell
whether something is actually a bomb? and
2. Do you realize that the media do not
always tell the truth?
I continued to be greatly saddened at
this point as I felt the truth continued to be
hidden.
When Umar listed me as his only
witness, I was happy to testify, not on his
behalf, but on behalf of the truth. I never
ex pected to tes tify, as my eye wit ness
account would have been too damaging to
the myth that the government and media
are putting forward. A mere 5 days after I
was announced as a witness, there was an
inexplicable guilty plea which exasperated
me as I no longer would be testifying.
In closing I will just say that regardless
of how the media and government try to
shape the public perception of this case, I
am convinced that Umar was given an
intentionally defective bomb by a U. S.
Government agent and placed on our flight
without showing a passport or going
through security, to stage a false terrorist
attack to be used to implement various
government policies.
The effect this matter has
had on my life has been
astounding and, due to this
case, I will never trust the
government in any matter,
ever.
In regards to sentencing, nothing I’ve
said excuses the fact that Umar tried to kill
me. He has waived his valid claim to the
entrapment defense. Umar, you are not a
great Muslim martyr, you are merely a
“Patsy.” I ask the court to impose the
mandatory sentence.

— Judicial Tyranny —
Let us secure justice, and then take pains to preserve it
By Lt. Colonel Donald Sullivan (Ret)
I
[email protected]
wrote an article in 2010
as part of my “Lost Rights”
series about the right to trial
by jury. You are aware of the
lawsuit I filed in November
concerning these improperly
set courts due to the oath of
ju rors. I did n’t fig ure out
until 2011 what the problem
was with juries. It was their
lack of a proper, constitutional oath. With
this ar ti cle I will try to sum ma rize the
problem and acquaint the reader with my
efforts in the lawsuit thus far, including the
extremes the State is going to in order to
discredit the lawsuit, and me, and have it
dismissed. Anyone who has been convicted
in the past 40 years or so will have grounds
for an unimpeachable appeal, there being
no jurisdiction by the court. Jurisdiction
can be challenged at any time.
Why jury nullification
isn’t sticking
We are all familiar with the instructions
given to a jury by judges everywhere in
America: “I have given you the law. If
the ev idence con tained in the facts and
testimony presented during the trial show
that the defendant has violated the law as I
have given it to you,
you must find the defendant guilty.”
This lie has been presented to us so
many times that we do not question it. We
see it on television, in movies and in actual
courtrooms constantly, so it must be right.
Right?
Yet, how can this be “right” when we all
know that some statutes invariably are at
odds with those rights protected by our
State and fed eral Con sti tu tions? Laws
such as the one under which my son was
convicted which made refusing to answer
questions a crime; the one which convicted
me for openly wearing a sidearm in a
courthouse; the one for which I have been
ordered not to occupy my house because I
didn’t ask permission to build it; the one
which requires a driver’s license before
exercising the right of travel; etc.?
So, there appears to be a disconnect
between the judge’s instructions to the
jury and the actual power of an impartial,
constitutional jury to rule not only on the
evidence presented during a trial but also
on the law itself. It took me a while, but I
figured it out: The jurors are not given a
valid, constitutional oath which binds
them to the superior organic law over the
inferior statutory law. Instead, they are
sworn only to be impartial and to rule
based solely on the facts presented at the
trial. It is such a simple lie that it has
worked for decades.
I “smelled a rat” in 2008 during my trial
about the right to bear arms, which I’ve
reported on earlier. I found it incredible
that I was not allowed to introduce the
Constitution as evidence; that I could not
mention the “right to bear arms” to the
jury; that the prosecutor’s objection to my

mention of the authority of the jury to rule
on the law and the facts was summarily
sustained by the judge; and that the
judge warned the jury they would be
held in contempt of his order if they
so much as looked at, or for, a copy
of the Constitution during my trial,
since it was not in evidence.
When my son was convicted by
a jury for refusing to answer the
ques tions of a State Trooper at a
license checkpoint, it hit me: The
jury had been compromised!
The people as sovereigns
It is obvious the founders of this country
in their wisdom meant for the “right to a
trial by jury” to be “a fourth branch of
government” wherewith the people could
address tyranny directly and exercise final
au thor ity over their elected of fi cers.
Unfortunately, by cunning and deceit, the
judiciaries of the States and the United
States have completely eliminated access
to the organic law from the jury box.
The federal Constitution specifically
requires in Article VI, Clause 3, that “all
Executive and Judicial officers, both of the
United States and of the several States,
shall be bound by oath or affirmation to
support this Constitution…” The North
Carolina Constitution satisfies this mandate
in Article VI, Section 7, thusly: “Before
entering upon the duties of an office, a
person elected or appointed to the office
shall take and subscribe the following
oath: ‘I, (Name), do solemnly swear that I
will support and maintain the Constitution
and laws of the United States, and the
Constitution and laws of North Carolina
not inconsistent therewith, and that I will
faithfully discharge the duties of my office
as (Title), so help me God.’”
North Carolina General Statute 11-11
spe cifically iden tifies the po sition of
“juror” as one of the “offices” to be bound
by the oath to the “Supreme Law of the
Land.” Yet, the jurors only take the truncated
oath as follows when they are empaneled,
rather than the constitutional oath: “You
and each of you solemnly swear that you
will truthfully and without prejudice or
partiality try all issues in criminal actions
which come before you during this session
of court and true verdicts render according
to the evidence offered therein, so help you
God.”
My re search shows that this same
pattern of deceit is duplicated in every
State except, perhaps, Louisiana, it being
the subject of “Napoleonic Law” rather
than our standard Roman civil law. This
“universal deceit” has been enabled
through the efforts of the SPLC and the
States’ Justice Institute (SJI), a federally
funded, nonprofit corporation created by
the federal government.
On November 18, 2012, I filed a federal
lawsuit against the State of North Carolina,
an elected NC Superior Court judge and an
elected County Clerk of Court, claiming
denial of my right to a jury during the
above-mentioned trial on right to bear
arms. Since then, I have been bombarded
by the State Attorney General with motions
to dismiss, (4) motions to strike, objections,
personal letters, accusations that I merely
am filing for “improper purpose, such as
to harass, cause unnecessary delay or

etc. He repeatedly refers to me as being
“feck less,” “friv o lous,” “vex a tious,”
“obsessive,” “repetitive,” lying, etc., and
has petitioned the court to deny me the
right to file any fur ther pe ti tions for
redress. It is obvious much time and money
is being spent to insure that this case is
never heard on its merits.
I have filed: Responses to all of the
Attorney General’s rantings and ravings; a
motion to sanction him for his slander
when he confused my case with my son’s
and wrote his motion to dismiss as if my
son’s case were the basis of the suit; and a
motion for a writ of mandamus to force the
State to execute its “ministerial duty” to
properly swear the jury and insure the
court is properly set. I sent in three such
filings on Monday of this week. When I
checked my mail, there were two new ones
requiring answers.
Truth the highest law
The bottom line, as far as I can tell, is
that there has been no properly set court
with a jury which has taken a valid oath
in decades. Therefore, no jury trial held
during that time has rendered a meaningful
verdict; and all those opinions are subject
to being overturned, no matter what the
crime. Anyone who has been convicted in
the past 40 years or so has grounds for an
unimpeachable appeal, there having been
no jurisdiction by the court. Jurisdiction
can be challenged at any time. Judges
and officers have no immunity where no
jurisdiction exists.
There can be no “jury nullification”
un til we get the juries properly sworn,
because any juror who tries it under the
current corrupt system will be dismissed
for cause by the prosecutor during jury
selection, or by the judge at any time for
any, or no, reason at all. All the good
judges are dead. The only hope for such
success is in the positive outcome of my
lawsuit. Jury nullification will never
happen by the voting process.
More to come.
The Snow Queen
By Christine Miller
[email protected]
If you’ve never read The Snow Queen,
by Hans Chris tian Andersen – or do not
remember it anymore – let me tell you a
shortened, in my own words, first chapter
of that fairy tale.
The mischief begins
The devil was in high spirits. He had just
made a mirror which reflected everything
grotesquely in reverse. Beauty was turned
into ugliness, good reflected as evil, and
everything wise became stupid. After the
devil and his minions had had their fun
with this mir ror on earth, they de cided
to take the thing up to heaven and put it
before God, his angels and paradise. The
higher they flew the more their mirror
shook, until they could not control it any
longer. The mirror crashed down to earth,
breaking into a thousand shards. If a fleck
of that mirror fell into anyone’s eye it had
same effect on the person as did the whole
mirror: beauty turned into ugliness, good
reflected as evil, wisdom became stupidity.
Updated version
Those men who today administer their
public-opinion-shaping businesses must
be afflicted with splinters from the devil’s
mirror. Creativity that in the past depicted
reality, order, harmony and beauty has
been turned into “abstract art” which is
lauded and praised as “innovative.” Art is
now a disconnect from reality; it’s chaotic
and ugly.
When the Germans used Zyklon B in the
concentration camps, fumigating clothing,
bedding and barracks in order to prevent
outbreaks of typhus and thereby maintain
the health of inmates, some splinter of that
devil’s mirror turned it into a “deadly gas”
with which Jews were supposedly killed.
Final solution! – a positive and innocent
phrase – had become a chip off the devil’s
mirror, grotesquely distorting those words
to mean genocide. Adolf Hitler, the man
who brought a down-and-out nation back
economically, politically and morally, has
been made into evil incarnate.
Ron Paul, who, in his wisdom, calls for
the United States to turn inward and forgo
empire building, is decried an isolationist.
He’s in good company. No less a person
than George Washington warned the newly
founded nation to stay out of foreign affairs
and foreign wars, wise counsel. But the
men with that chip in their eyes have made
the word isolationism into such a negative
that few want to vote for an isolationist.
The USA has become a war-making nation
med dling ev ery where, mostly for the
benefit of Israel and the Jews.
How it ends
Back to the Snow Queen fairy tale: A
splinter from the devil’s mirror had not
only entered the eye of little Karl, but one
had also penetrated his heart. He had
hitched his little sleigh to that of the Snow
Queen, who abducted him to her ice palace
in the frozen North. She promised him that
he would become his own master if, from
certain glassy, icy puzzle pieces he could
form the word eternity.
Gretchen, his playmate, went in search
of Karl and found him alone, blue with
cold, in the mile-long ice hall of the snow
queen’s palace. Not noticing Gretchen, all
of Karl’s thoughts were concentrated on
forming the word which would make him
his own master. Gretchen shed warm tears
over Karl which melted the icy lump and
his heart, destroying the splinter.
He suddenly could cry again, those tears
washing out the splinter from his eye, and,
lo and behold! the puzzle pieces of glaring
ice had now formed the looked-for word –
Eternity! Klaus was free.
And what had been two children grown
into young adults went home towards a
warm and green spring. The story ends like
most fairy tales: And they live happily ever
after.
But what about us?

A Concerned Student
Dear Concerned Student:
I am not allowed in schools.
Sincerely,
God
How did this get started?
Let’s see, I think it started when
Madeline Murray O’Hare complained she
didn’t want any prayer in our schools.
And we meekly said, “ok!”
Then someone said you better not read
the Bible in school. The Bible that says,
“Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal,
and love your neighbors as yourself.”
And, again, we weakly said, “ok!”
Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn’t
spank our children when they misbehave
because their personalities might be
warped, and that could damage their selfesteem. And we said that a child expert
should know what he’s talking about, so
we agreed not to spank them anymore.
Then some one said, “Teachers and
principals better not discipline our children
when they misbehave.” And the school
administrators said, “No faculty member in
this school better touch a student when
they misbehave, because we don’t want
any bad publicity, and we surely don’t
want to be sued.”
And we accepted their blind reasoning
Then someone said, “Let’s allow our
daughters to have abortions if they choose,
and they won’t even have to tell their
parents.”
And we said, that’s a great idea.
Then some wise school board member
said, “Since boys will be boys and they’re
going to do it anyway, let’s give our sons
all the condoms they want, so they can
have all the fun they desire, and we won’t
have to tell their parents they got them at
school.”
And we said, that’s another brilliant
idea.
Then some of our top elected officials
said it doesn’t matter what we do in private
as long as we do our jobs.
And we said, it doesn’t matter what
anybody, including the President, does in
private as long as we have jobs and the
economy is good.
Someone else took that neo-philosophy
a step further and published pictures of
nude children; then went still further by
making those pictures available on the
internet.
And we said, “Hey! everyone’s entitled
to their First Amendment right of free
speech.”
And the entertainment industry said,
let’s make TV shows and mov ies that
promote profanity, violence and illicit sex.
And let’s record music that encourages
rape, drugs, murder, suicide , and satanic
themes …
And we said, “Heck! It’s nothing but
entertainment, and has no adverse effect
on anything. Nobody takes it seriously,
anyway, so go right ahead.”
And now we are asking
ourselves why our children
have no consciences, why
they don’t know right from
wrong, nor does it bother
them to kill strangers, classmates or even themselves.
Undoubtedly, if we thought about it long
and hard enough, we could figure it out. I
suspect it has a great deal to do with …
“We reap what we sow!”
Remember: The ACLU and the ADL –
both Jewish organizations, founded by
rabid Zionists who put the interests of the
apartheid State of Israel ahead of the best
interests of the United States of America –
are responsible for these incessant attacks
on Christianity and the Bill of Rights that
have resulted in the moral decay described
in the above discussion.
Also bear in mind: ADD and ADHD are
pseudo diseases invented by the psychiatric
profession as an excuse to put our kids on
toxic medications that are the equivalent of
chemical lobotomies. This makes them far
more docile and extremely receptive to the
multicultural ideas set forth by subversive
forces that are now misguiding public
education in America. American freedoms
and American sovereignty are in grave
dan ger of early ex tinc tion un less this
insidious trend is soon reversed. Exercise
your freedom of expression … or lose it!

ost of this was unknown to me, also,
but some of it came to light when I visited
D. C. in 2004. The tour driv ers there
imparted so much knowledge in such a brief
span of time, it simply wasn’t possible to
absorb all of it.
What baffles me is that the average
American recognizes what has gone wrong
in this country, but is either too naïve or
cowardly to stand up and shout the words:
It’s the @#$&% Jews, stupid!
Forty or fifty years ago, the ADL
began using the phrase “Judea-Christian
principles” in an attempt to put themselves
on an equal moral and ethical footing with
Christians. Judea-Christian my arse! How
many of those traitorous SOBs signed the
Declaration or the Constitution? Benjamin
Franklin wanted to bar them from entering
the U. S. He referred to them as the Devil’s
children. You just have to love good old
Benny.
It is the ADL and the ACLU who are
behind every effort to destroy Christianity
and repeal the Bill of Rights.
Can’t people see that? Every Jew I’ve
ever known – and there have been many –
has been a big, blow-hard bag of steer
guano. They are good at bluffing, but get in
their faces, and they’ll turn and run.

Here’s the stone that revealed Mo Dees’ poverty. And
what about ours? How many of the Ten Commandments
have we broken, how often? Can people learn from their
own mistakes and those of Mr. Dees, or must many go on
repeating them? He says if we’re against homosexuality
and the mixing of all races (except the one that finances
SPLC’s lawsuits) – that can only be hate. He’s for the
higher taxes necessary to keep indoctrinating children
into his lifestyle. What’ll it be, folks? The vote, the
choice, is ours. The time is now.

change.
So, what does Alaska think of this? Not
much. The North Star State was completely
excluded from all negotiations involving
the dis pos session of its own sov ereign
territory. When it came to
light what was happening,
the Alaskan Legislature – the
legal governing body of that
territory – passed resolutions
of opposition… and the State
Department ignored them.
Loony affair
To help the reader grasp
the full im pli ca tions here,
this is equivalent to cutting
off the Texas panhandle and giving it to
Mexico, ceding Michigan’s Upper Peninsula
to Canada or handing over the Florida Keys
to Cuba, all not only without permission of
those States or the residents of the land in
question, but in direct opposition to their
desires. In terms of sheer disregard for
Constitutional law (although not loss of
life and liberty… yet), this action surpasses
on a political scale both the invasion of
the South and the illegal secession of West
Virginia from Virginia; in the former case,
even though occupied, the States’ borders
were largely sacrosanct, and, in the latter, it
was at least put to a vote by some of the
people in the affected area and accepted by
an act of Congress.
Speaking of Congress, this is worse in
another way as well, because Congress is
not involved.
Yes, you read that right; Congress will
apparently not be voting on the issue of
whether to strip a State of its own rightful
territory and transfer it to a foreign power.
You see, this is being done by “executive
agreement,” a redefining of provisions
already approved by the United States
Congress as part of the 1990 USA/USSR
Maritime Boundary Agreement. The Soviet
Union collapsed while it was still deciding
the issue, however, and Russia wants a new
deal. Rather than hammer out another
treaty as is required by law, Obama prefers
to skirt Congress once again (also the State
of Alaska) and do it himself, redefining the
border of both the North Star State and the
U. S. with the stroke of a pen.
What do Alaska and the United States
gain from this? Absolutely nothing; or, at
least in the case of the U. S., nothing they
are willing to talk about. Russia gains tens
of thousands of miles of new and oil-rich
territory. So why in the world would Obama
agree to this?
It’s because he has something to gain
as well: power. Unless Congress decides to
do its job and check this action (fat
chance!), at the expense of both Alaska
and the country, Obama will have created a
precedent that gathers more power into his
hands than even Lincoln had at the height
of his wartime tyranny. When one man can
unilaterally define the borders of a country
or a State at will, nothing is off the table.

more demonstrated in Cologne, Hannover,
Hamburg, Düsseldorf and other cities. The
largest demonstration was in Munich with
16,000 participants on 12 February.

EDITOR’S NOTE
Makes you wonder. How long can the Judeos keep fooling
us Christians? Indeed, as such pathological mayhem didn’t
start yesterday, we oughta wise up and tell Israhell farewell.
Voting our NOTA option – “none of the above” – we cease
“electing” their stooges here at home who then betray us on
not one but every front. Before participating further in this
Jewish-rigged “democracy,” we must consider what Walter
Williams is trying to tell us now, and remember how the
Judeo-mediacracy did it four years ago.
Their selective campaign coverage will again portray the
sitting Betrayer-in-Chief as the fool that he is, while offering
a supposedly serious challenger, and again they’ll play we
who’ve taken the bait for bigger fools by the old switcheroo.
Suddenly that challenger (they don’t use amateur actors) is
the madman none of us can support. Act 2012 has a cast of
millions: all of those receiving government checks wanting

Son Gyoh of the Nigerian Awareness for
Development organization stated, “Would
it not be more ex pe di ent to pres sure
government to service the refineries to full
production capacity given the implications
on overhead and competitiveness for local
industries?”14
Gyoh pointed to the problem’s source:
“Why have successive governments left
the refineries in a state of disrepair while
spending huge on subsidy? Is there any
chance that the savings from subsidy withdrawal will go directly into rehabilitating
the refineries? Does deregulation imply
NNPC will no longer operate a monopoly
in the importation of refined petroleum
product or is this lobby a self-serving lifeline
to continue its monopoly? “ He concludes,
“In any case, there is good reason to doubt
subsidy removal will solve the fuel scarcity
problem as the cabal will only regroup to
change tactics, a fact Nigerians are only
too aware of.”15
After Nigeria partly nationalized its oil
sector in the late 1970s, they also took
con trol of Shell Oil’s Port Har court I
refinery. In 1989 Port Harcourt II refinery
was built. Both refineries fell into serious
disrepair after 1994 when the Abacha
military dictatorship cut the “take” of the
Nigerian National Petroleum Company
(NNPC) from domestic sale of refined oil
products such as gasoline from 84% to
22%. That caused a cash crisis for NNPC
and a halt to refinery maintenance. Today
only one of four refineries operates at all.16
What developed since was a system of
NNPC importing foreign gasoline and other
refined products for Nigeria’s domestic
needs, naturally at a far more expensive
cost. The price subsidies were to relieve
that higher import cost, hardly a sensible
solution but a very lucrative one for those
corrupt elements in the State and private
sector making a killing, literally, off the
import process.
NNPC criminal enterprise
The IMF is well aware of the real cause
of Nigeria’s fuel industry problems. A
Nigerian legislative committee examining
the sources of the indus try’s problems
recently released a report documenting that
at least $4 billion annually is taken from
taxpayers in fuel industry corruption with
the State Nigerian National Petro leum
Company (NNPC) at the center. According
to the com mis sion, “ev ery day, fuel
importers drop off 59 million liters of fuel.
The country consumes 35 million liters
daily. That leaves 24 million liters of oil
available for smugglers to export, paid for
by government fuel subsidies. This costs
the Nigerian people roughly $4 billion
yearly, according to Reuters.”17
The Nigerian government has said that
the 7.5 bil lion dol lars spent yearly on
fuel subsidies could be used to provide
desperately needed infrastructure. But they
omit any mention of the rampant siphoning
off of $4 billion of oil by black market
smugglers, reportedly with connivance of
high NNPC government officials, to sell
to neighboring countries at a hefty profit.

The calls for my firing began almost
immediately with the Oct. 18 publication
of Suicide of a Superpower: Will America
Survive to 2025?
A group called Color of Change, whose
mission statement says that it “exists to
strengthen Black America’s political voice,”
claimed that my book espouses a “White
supremacist ideology.” Color of Change
took particular umbrage at the title of
Chapter 4, “The End of White America.”
Media Matters parroted the party line:

A Human Rights Campaign that bills

people said that Bu chanan’s “ex tremist
ideas are incredibly harmful to millions of
LBGT people around the world.”
Their rage was triggered by a remark to
NPR’s Diane Rehm – that I believe homosexual acts to be “unnatural and immoral.”
On Nov. 2, Abe Foxman of the AntiDefamation League, who has sought to
have me censored for 22 years, piled on.
“Buchanan has shown himself, time and
again, to be a racist and an anti-Semite,”
said Foxman. Buchanan “bemoans the

Well, yes, I do bemoan what Newsweek’s
2009 cover called “The Decline and Fall of
Christian America” and editor Jon Meacham
de scribed as “The End of Chris tian
America.” After all, I am a Christian.
And what else explains the shrinkage of
the U. S. Jewish population by six percent
in the 1990s and its projected decline by
another 50 percent by 2050, if not the
“collective decision of Jews themselves”?
Let error be tolerated, said Thomas
Jefferson, “so long as reason is left free to
combat it.” What Foxman and ADL are
about in de mand ing that my voice be

intrinsically un-American.
Consider what it is these people are
saying.
They are say ing that a re spected

produce a racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic
book, and CNN, Fox News, C-SPAN, Fox
Business News and the 150 radio shows on
which I appeared failed to detect its evil
and helped to promote a moral atrocity.
If my book is racist and anti-Semitic,
how did Sean Hannity, Erin Burnett, Judge
Andrew Napolitano, Megyn Kelly, Lou
Dobbs and Ralph Nader miss that? How
did Charles Payne, African-American host
on Fox radio, who has interviewed me
three times, fail to detect its racism?
How did Michael Medved miss its
anti-Semitism?
In a 2009 cover story in the Atlantic,
“The End of White America?” from which
my chapter title was taken, professor Hua
Hsu revels in the passing of America’s
White majority. At Portland State, President
Clinton got a huge ovation when he told
students that White Americans will be a
minority in 2050.

That homosexual acts are unnatural and

Church for 2,000 years. Is it now hate

Documented in the 488 pages and 1,500
footnotes of Suicide of a Superpower is my
thesis that America is Balkanizing, breaking
down along the lines of religion, race,
ethnicity, culture and ideology, and that
Western peoples are facing demographic
death by century’s end.
Are such subjects taboo?
Are they unfit for national
debate?
So it would seem. MSNBC President
Phil Griffin told reporters, “I don’t think
the ideas that (Buchanan) put forth (in his
book) are ap pro pri ate for the na tional
dialogue, much less on MSNBC.”
In the ten years I have been at MSNBC,
the network has taken heat for what I have
written, and faithfully honored our contract.
Yet my four-months’ ab sence from
MSNBC and now my departure represent
an undeniable victory for the blacklisters.
The modus operandi of these thought
police at Color of Change and ADL is to
brand as rac ists and anti-Semites any
writer who dares to venture outside the
narrow corral in which they seek to confine
debate.
All the while prat tling about their
love of dissent and devotion to the First
Amendment, they seek systematically to
silence and censor dissent.
With out a hearing, they smear and
stig ma tize as rac ist, ho mo pho bic or

George Orwell once called their “smelly
little orthodoxies.” They then demand that
the heretic recant, grovel, apologize, and
pledge to go forth and sin no more.
Only kind of fight they know
Defy them, and they will go after the
network where you work, the newspapers
that carry your column, the conventions
that invite you to speak. If all else fails,
they go after the advertisers.
I know these blacklisters. They operate
behind closed doors, with phone calls,
mailed threats and off-the-record meetings.
They work in the dark because, as Al Smith
said, nothing un-American can live in the
sunlight.

The contract, valued at about $800

drilled in the field, only two wells are
meant for heavy oil production. The field’s

about 780 million barrels.
Boushkan oil field is located 100 km
north of Bushehr and 30 km from Dalan
gas field. The field’s in-place reserves have
been estimated at about 340 million barrels
with a single well drilled in 1963.
The fields will be developed in two
phases to produce 11,000 barrels per day
(bpd) of crude oil after the completion of
the first phase, which will hit 22,000 bpd
when the second phase is finished.
Land on top of black gold
A total of 18 heavy and extra-heavy
oilfields have so far been discovered in
Iran, including Ferdowsi oil field in the
Persian Gulf, which is one of the country’s
big gest heavy oil fields with proven
reserves of more than 31 billion barrels.
Iran’s to tal in-place oil re serves are
estimated at more than 560 billion barrels
with about 140 billion extractable barrels.
Moreover, heavy and extra-heavy varieties
of crude oil account for roughly 70-100

— Truth will out —
In flinching move, Finkelstein slams boycott movement
By Sean O’Neill
australiansforpalestine.net
The interview with Norman Finkelstein
that cir cu lated all
over the web on 15
February, in which
he calls the boycott,
d i v e s t me n t a n d
sanc tions (BDS)
move ment against
Israel a “cult” and
compares it to
Maoism is, I think, a
Norman Finkelstein
milestone of sorts.
Or, more accurately, the symptom of a
mile stone – a sign that the ground is
shifting on Israel/Palestine issues.
Normal Finkelstein has made a career
out of being the son of holocaust survivors
who doesn’t shy away from picking a fight
with Israel’s backers, and who unabashedly
defends the rights of Palestinians. At times
his controversial positions have set his
career back, as when he was denied tenure
at DePaul University. However, on balance
he has cer tainly bene fited, as a less
combative scholar would today likely be
sim ply one of thou sands of ob scure
political science professors.
In the last few days, an interview with Norman Finkelstein has been going viral
on Facebook in which he called the BDS movement a “cult” and says that its
rights-based demands are simply a cover for the dismantling of the State of Israel.
It’s an appalling claim that has left a lot of activists shocked, since Finkelstein has
been quite a hero of the Palestin ian movement for some thirty years. Zion ist
extremists have been crowing with delight about his stance on twitter and the
blogosphere, while some activists are trying to defend him by saying he is a realist
and that people are being too emotional about his statements. Well, that argument
should be applied to Norman Finkelstein. He was the one being emotional, insulting,
accusatory and condescending. Furthermore, Norman needs to remember that the
Palestinians are resisting every day for their freedom, many of them dying, losing
their homes, being forcibly separated, and that they are entitled to use BDS as a
tactic to put pressure on Israel. To call the movement a “cult” is particularly insulting
to a people for whom international law has failed miserably. As much as
Finkelstein has done for Palestine, he is just one of many who have put their
lives, careers and reputations on the line. Yet, at the end of the day, there is not one
international activist who can truly understand what it is like to be a Palestinian
living under the oppressive conditions of Israeli domination or being hopelessly
outcast in a refugee camp, and, I say, how dare any of us, no matter how well
meaning, to condescend and tell the Palestinians how they should resist. BDS is
the first campaign that is beginning to bite – and now we have Finkelstein on the
one hand saying it will never achieve anything while on the other that he has no
problem with it. This excellent rebuttal to Finkelstein’s unfortunate rant is given
by Sean O’Neill, who worked for the Christian Peacemaker Teams in the South
Hebron Hills and is currently an MA candidate at New York University.

of such logic.
Denying the debunking
Finkelstein even resorts to the desperate
tactic of denial. When the interviewer puts
forth his contention that the BDS movement
is growing in popularity, Finkelstein rejects
the idea out of hand, com par ing the
move ment to some Mao ist group he
apparently was affiliated with at some
point in his more idealistic youth.
Few takers
I recently witnessed BDS’s growing
clout at a meeting I attended with a woman
working for an Israeli artist, helping set up
a series of salons in New York to explore
and question the Birthright Israel programs,
and the idea of a “birthright” in general.
The project sounds very interesting, but
the woman was visibly frustrated at their
inability to find people willing to work
with them in the city. They are partially
funded by the Israeli Consulate, and as a
result have had the proverbial door shut on
them by activists, artists and professors,
Arab and Jew alike. This would have been
incomprehensible five years ago, when I
first heard of the BDS movement at the
annual Bil’in conference and it was, at that
point, divisive even among conference
attendees.
The new paradigm
Here is where things stand now. There
is a paradigm shift in the works in how the
Israel/Palestine conflict is understood and
approached. There’s an increasing consensus
among Israel’s critics to see the issue as
one of civil rights rather than a conflict
between two nations. Indeed, some BDS
activists harbor a desire to see the end of
the Jewish State, and others believe this is
the inevitable outcome of a civil rights
movement, whether they desire it or not.
But many oth ers, I would argue most
Palestinians among them, simply don’t
care about this abstract One State vs. Two
States argument. They just don’t think civil
rights – indeed human rights – can be
trumped by someone’s nationalist claims.
End of the line
Finkelstein’s sudden hostility to the
solidarity movement is a symptom of this
paradigm shift. It is easy to rail against
Is rael when the ex is tence of a Jew ish
nation-State seems guaranteed in perpetuity.
But that guarantee seems to have eroded a
bit. For some this will be scary. But then
change always is. It was scary in South
Af rica. It was scary in the Jim Crow
American South. For others it is liberating,
and you can count among these an increasing
number of Israelis who see coexistence –
real coexistence, not the tenuous kind that
reigns in Jaffa, among other places – as a
more attractive guarantee to their security
than the ethnocratic State. As the ground
continues to shift, some of those who are
afraid will flinch, and retreat to safer, more
moderate arguments. Finkelstein flinched.

Such desperados, during that interim,

Semite attacks U. S. ally with depleted uranium stones
What if the news media were to

the Iranian coast had hit a U. S.
aircraft carrier with deaths and
casualties?

on the air craft car rier
USS Abraham Lincoln in
the Persian Gulf for this
special report.” (Reporter
Smith): “I’m here on the
deck of the USS Abraham
Lincoln where casualties
are being taken from the USS Carl Vinson
which sustained damage earlier today in a
shocking pre-dawn attack on U. S.
Naval forces here in the Persian
Gulf. At least one hundred body
bags are now housed in a makeshift
morgue below decks, and casualties
are run ning in the hun dreds.

shoulder-fired, possibly as many as
three launched from the coast of
Iran, that struck the Vinson amidships. You can see in the distance
smoke billowing from the USS

sudden surprise attack. U. S. Navy
authorities said the close proximity
of the ship to the coast made it
impossible to defend against this
mis sile at tack. The USS Ei sen hower
remains positioned 30 miles further away
from Iran’s coast than the USS Vinson.
U. S. military authorities are saying a swift
and decisive retaliatory blow against Iran
is now underway and U. S. military aircraft
are now attacking pre-determined military
targets with full force. Iranian authorities in
Tehran issued a denial of their involvement
in the attack, but an Iranian mullah is
claimed to have said, I quote: ‘This should
serve the Great Satan notice they don’t
belong here.’ Iranian President Ahmadinejad
had previously warned Iran would retaliate
against sanctions imposed by the U. S. on
his country. This is Manfred Smith with

If the American public were suddenly
shocked by the news that three shoulderfired missiles launched from the coast of
Iran had hit a U. S. aircraft carrier in the
Straits of Hormuz and killed 200 navy
person nel, would even one American
question whether this report was accurate
in its assumption that the regime in Iran
was behind the missile attack?
How easy it would be for any party that
wanted to instigate war to place saboteurs
on Iran’s coast to aim shoul der-fired
missiles at a U. S. aircraft carrier positioned
near the Straits of Hormuz where a third of
the world’s oil tankers pass every day.
The very first posting I submitted to
Lew Rockwell over a de cade ago was
entitled “Remember The Maine.” It was
about events, all at sea, that triggered all
the modern major world wars. All were
staged events. I repeat them here:
“Remember the Maine”
February 15, 1898: Mysterious explosion
rocks the battleship Maine in Havana
Harbor, Cuba. 266 men were killed. Initially
it was believed a torpedo or mine caused
the explosion. On April 25, 1898 the U. S.
declared war on Spain. A 1976 investigation
found that the Maine was sunk due to a
self-inflicted blast, probably as a result of
coal bunker fire on board.
Legitimate war target
May 7, 1915: The British steamship
Lusitania was sunk by a German torpedo
on the high seas of the Atlantic Ocean. 100
Americans lost their lives. The result was
the U. S. was brought into WWI. It was not
revealed at the time that the Lusitania, a
passenger boat, was carrying arms and munitions.
No surprise
December 7, 1941: How was President
Roosevelt going to convince the American
public to enter into war with the Japanese
when the U. S. was headed for war with
Germany? Japanese bombers, launched
from air craft car ri ers, bombed Pearl
Harbor and sunk the U. S. Pacific Fleet in a
so-called surprise attack. Over 2,000 died.
The U. S. knew of the threat of war and had
intercepted the “East-Wind Rain” secret
code of the Japanese Pacific fleet. Japan
had closed all its embassies in the Pacific
rim the week prior to Pearl Harbor, which is
an overt sign of war. U. S. aircraft carriers
had been removed from Pearl Harbor days
before the bombing.
Admiral Kimmell in Hawaii was intentionally kept in the dark that the Japanese
fleet was nearby. A sur prise at tack it
wasn’t. The U. S. Navy actually fired the
first shots, launching depth charges at the
entrance to Pearl Harbor after detecting an
unidentified submarine an hour before
Japanese aircraft bombed U. S. Navy ships
moored in the harbor. President Roosevelt
appeared before Congress, declared Pearl
Harbor a “day in infamy,” and the rest is
history.
“Great Society” warrior
Au gust 5, 1964: Pres ident John son
orders the U. S. to take retaliatory action
against Vietnam after “renewed attacks
against American destroyers in the Gulf on
Tonkin” (Vietnam). There were no new
attacks against American ships.
The news media reported a lie, leading
over 50,000 Americans to their deaths and
millions of casualties.
Liars on parade
Oc to ber 12, 2000: A small bombcarrying vessel swiftly approaches the USS
Cole, an American destroyer, docked in
Yemen to re-fuel. An explosion rips a
gap ing hole in the side of the ship.
Eighteen sailors die and 35 others are
wounded. The bombing occurs on the eve
of the Presidential debates, with rumors of
Iraq moving troops in the Middle East and
riots in Jerusalem. Benjamin Netanyahu,
former prime minister of Israel, says during
a television interview that the same people
who con ducted terror ism in Je ru sa lem
bombed the USS Cole.
Don’t be duped into going to war solely
based on reports of bombings of U. S.
Navy boats in far off lands where we the
facts of the event are completely controlled
by one source, the government. Remember
the Maine!
Scene 3, Take 2
There is a similar situation today. Avi
Perry, a former intelligence expert for the
Israeli government and professor at Northwestern University, recently wrote this in
the Jerusalem Post:
“Iran, just like Nazi Germany in the
1940s, will take the initiative and ‘help’ the
U. S. president and the American public
make up their mind by making the first
move, by attacking a U. S. aircraft carrier
in the Persian Gulf.
“The Iranian attack on an American
military vessel will serve as a justification
and a pretext for a retaliatory move by the
U. S. military against the Iranian regime. The
target would not be Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The U. S. would retaliate by attacking
Iran’s navy, their military installations,
missile silos, airfields. The U. S. would
target Iran’s ability to retaliate, to close
down the Strait of Hormuz. The U. S. would
then follow by targeting the regime itself…
under this ‘Pearl Harbor’ scenario, in
which Iran had launched a ‘surprise’ attack
on the U. S. Navy, the U. S. would have the
perfect rationalization to finish them off,
to put an end to this ugly game… 2012
will see to a new war. This time, Iran will
initiate it.”
It is difficult to educate a largely patriotic
American population that the U. S. has
done this in the past, and is likely in the
future to provoke America into a military
conflict not only by issuing propaganda to
soften up the masses against an alleged
enemy like Iran, but also incite the enemy
to “fire the first shot” or deceive Americans
into believing the enemy instigated the
war. U. S. sanctions against Iran are now
beginning to take economic effect and the
regime there is talking about austerity
measures.
Desperate moves
Didn’t the U. S. government foresee its
current economic collapse, and knowing
Amer ica’s re li ance upon oil from the
Middle East, which sucks money out of
Amer ica with no off set ting ex ports to
these Arabic countries other than military
weapons, plan to overtake these oil-rich
foreign countries and capture their oil?
The U. S. is the world’s largest consumer of petroleum. The U. S. purchases
about $1 billion of oil every day from
overseas sources. This has led to a miserable
balance of trade situation. So why not
demonize oil-producing countries to
soften up the American people into
the idea of capturing their oil under
the guise that pre-emptive action needs
to be taken against these foreign
countries before they attack first?
The U. S. is be com ing more
energy independent by fracking oil
from the earth’s crust, but it can’t
control oil-producing countries with
its purchasing power as easily as it
had in the past. For example, Iran
sells a great deal of its oil to India via
Turkey serving as an intermediary.
In dia is not par tic i pat ing in the
sanctions against Iran. Furthermore,
India is paying Iran in rupees instead
of using the U. S. dollar as reserve
currency for trade.
New Pearl Harbor
Thanks to the internet it is more widely
known that the U. S., one year prior to
9-11, pub lished a doc u ment en titled
“Project For A New American Century”
that outlined how the U. S. intended to
dominate global trade and finance by a
policy of military domination and deceptive
provocations. This document called for
“some catastrophic and catalyzing event,
like a new Pearl Harbor,” which would
galvanize U. S. public opinion in support
of a war.
Sadly, busy Americans are not likely to
realize that financially-broke regimes go
to war to hide their economic sins. Bank
holidays can be declared, currency devalued,
reck less spend ing jus ti fied, free doms
restricted, all because America is now
under wartime rules.

Alabama, we will aye be true to thee!
By Elois Zeanah
President, Alabama Federation of Women
T
he Alabama Illegal Immigration Law
is working; illegal aliens are self-deporting!
Unemployment is down! Tax dollars paid
in public benefits to illegal aliens are down!
Why then, would the Alabama attorney
general and legislators want to weaken our
great law? The battle to keep HB56 intact
is between social conservatives and certain
business interests who want taxpayers to
fund their cheap illegal labor.
Attorney General Luther Strange has
recommended repealing parts of HB56 that
have illegal aliens leaving our State while
the judicial process is still underway. He
seems to have a strange desire to surrender.
Senator Gerald Dial has taken the AG’s
torch and run with it. He submitted SB140
for repeal of most sections recommended
by the AG; repeals that:
§ Allow citizens to sue officials who will
not enforce this law that keeps Alabama
from becoming a “sanctuary” State,
§ Make it a crime to knowingly rent to
illegal aliens,
§ Make it a crime to encourage or induce
illegal aliens into Alabama,
§ Require schools to count the children of
illegal aliens for budget purposes and
§ Mandate that applicants show proof of
citizenship before registering to vote.
The Republican leadership says more
bills are forthcoming but gives no details,
saying they will defend and not weaken
our immigration law, HB56.
Given the above examples to change
and weaken our law, this leaves voters to
ask if “defending the law” is a “talking
point.” If sincere and they will not weaken
our law that’s wildly successful, why are
they in a rush to change this bill before the
U. S. Supreme Court rules on Arizona’s
bill in just three months?
Industry recruitment continues to rise.
Foreign investors have confirmed that the
immigration law has no impact on their
choosing Alabama as a place to locate.
Alabama’s unemployment rate has gone
from 42nd worst in the nation to 28th since
this law took effect.
If your legislator is standing strong on
HB56 and has agreed to make no changes,
that deserves a pat on the back. If having
gone wobbly, make it known how you feel.
80% of Alabama voters support this law.
Please contact your legislators and ask
for no changes to Alabama’s law! Phone

speculating on what further powers could
be devolved, he suggested to questioners
that he was un willing to go as far as
Salmond’s “devo max” so lution would
suggest, defending the national welfare State
as fairer and pointing out the importance of
“fiscal union” inside a single currency.
He also re peated the pas sion ate
personal language of the previous evening,
describing the decision as one of “head,
heart and soul,” and saying he was “ready
for the fight for our country’s life.”
Scotland gaining independence
via devolution instead of secession?
Someday maybe Dixie will too. But

David Cameron made his boldest move
yet in the campaign to stop Scotland voting
for independence by offering the country
more freedom from Westminster if it votes
no in the coming referendum.
Speak ing to busi ness lead ers in the
capital, Edinburgh, the prime minister said
the referendum did not have to be “the end
of the road” for devolution. After that, “I
am open to looking at how the devolved
settlement can be improved further,” he
said. “And, yes, that means considering
what further powers could be devolved.”
However, in a move that
immediately provoked angry
re ac tion from Scot land’s
pro-in de pend ence
first
min is ter, Alex Salmond,
Cameron repeatedly ruled
out discussing what powers
could be further devolved to
Edinburgh before the vote.
“That must be a question for after the
referendum, when Scotland has made its
choice about the fundamental question of
independence,” Cameron said.
The surprise offer, described by one
member of the audience as having an air of
desperation, appeared to form part of a
two-prong strategy.
The prime minister first outlined a series
of veiled threats about the problems raised
by Scotland leaving the United Kingdom,
including the potential loss of a seat on the
U. N. security council, U. K. armed forces,
and the pound. He also added two new
ones to those he had raised in a speech on
15 February: the loss of the U. K. security

Stacking the deck
Having raised these concerns, he made
the offer of more devolved freedom in the

“devo max” which Salmond wants offered
as a second op tion in the referendum.

After the speech, Salmond told BBC
News: “If the prime minister has an offer to
make to the people of Scotland then he
should make it now. He should spell it out
now so we can have a clear decision on the
alternative futures for Scotland … [he] is
on very, very shaky ground if he believes
people in Scotland will be fooled again,”

Following the speech, Cameron was due
to meet Salmond in private to discuss the
referendum. Areas where the two sides
disagree include Salmond’s demand to wait
two years for the referendum, his choice of
questions that would be put to voters, and
his desire to let 16- and 17-year-olds vote.
Cameron repeated his insistence there
should be only one question on the ballot,
say ing a sec ond ques tion would be
“mud dling.”
He also stressed he still wanted the vote
held as soon as possible, “so people can get
on with their lives”.

Iranian, Russian navies in Syrian waters
AlexanderHiggins.com
A senior Iranian lawmaker says the
presence of Iranian and Russian naval
forces in Syria’s coastal waters is a clear
warning to the U. S. to refrain from any
possible military adventurism.
Russian warships arrived at the Syrian
port city of Tartus on Sunday, January 8.
“The United States should take Iran’s
warning about [refraining from possible]
military intervention in Syria seriously,”
Hossein Ebrahimi, deputy chairman of
Iran Majlis National Security and Foreign
Policy Committee, said on 19 February.
He added that in the event of any U. S.
strategic mistake there, Washington may
receive a crushing response from Iran,
Syria and a few other countries.
On Sunday, January 8, a large Russian
naval flotilla led by an aircraft carrier had
arrived at the Syrian port of Tartus in the
Mediterranean Sea for a six-day port call to
show Moscow’s solidarity with Damascus.
“The port call is aimed at bringing the two
countries closer together and strengthening
their ties of friendship,” the official SANA
news agency quoted Russian naval officer
Yakushin Vladimir Anatolievich as saying.
Two Iranian Navy ships also docked in
the Syrian port of Tartus on 17 February
to train Syrian naval forces as agreed by
Tehran and Damascus one year ago.
“Syrians are against any form of foreign
intervention in their country, but the United
States by arming oppo sition groups is
try ing to harm the [anti-Is raeli] axis of
resistance in the region [in order to] affect
Islamic Awakening in regional countries,”
Ebrahimi added.
The lawmaker went on to say that the
recent dispatch of a number of unmanned
military and intelligence drones operating
in Syrian skies by the U. S. military will
only result in more solidarity among the
Syrians.

Who is threatening whom?
Is Syria set to be the Tonkin Gulf
“incident” for our attack on Iran?
By Daniel McAdams
informationclearinghouse.info
Michael Lofgren, an old friend who
recently retired after a long career analyzing
House and Senate national security budgets,
has an excellent piece in the Huffington Post
in which he admits that after dismissing the
decades of scare reports on Iran by the warmongers he is suddenly a bit more worried
about a possible attack on Iran.
Writes Lofgren:
During this presidential campaign
season, there is on the GOP side the
most toxic warmongering political
dy namic imag in able: one that
makes Bush look like a pacifist in
retrospect. President Obama for his
part is try ing to tri an gu late à la
Bill Clinton between the GOP, a
Dem o cratic base that is mostly
antiwar but politically ineffectual,
Israel, the military-industrial complex
and his polling numbers.
Lofgren warns that with “the U. S. and
Iran… reprising the Gulf of Tonkin in the
Strait of Hormuz… these factors compose
a brew potentially so toxic that one would
think it would give even the most belligerent
chickenhawk pause before quaffing it.”
almost the exclusive source of the horror
stories coming out of Syria, such as the tale
of Assad’s callous murder of 18 premature
ba bies in Homs – du ti fully re ported on
10 February 2012 in the U. K. Independent
newspaper and last August on CNN! For a
full and compelling report on the pro-war
propaganda campaign being cooked up by
the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights
and dutifully amplified by our complicit
media, see the 11 February 2012 excellent
piece on Infowars.
I guess nothing says “let’s go to war”
like the old babies in incubator stories.
Who can forget that poor 15-year-old
Kuwaiti girl, known only by her first name
who kills whom, it is always, as Hillary
Clinton says, the government murdering
peaceful protestors.
Now the Syrian opposition
propaganda machine warns
that Assad might be “mulling”
the use of chemical weapons
in Homs! First the babies,
then this!
So these bomb attacks on the Military
Security Directorate in Aleppo follow a
familiar pattern of rebels targeting Syrian
security forces and taking out scores of
45 U. S. bases surround Iran
But what if Syria itself is
the Gulf of Tonkin rather
than the cat and mouse games
around the Hormuz Strait?
Let us consider a few points:
First: The atrocity stories are mostly
cooked-up to make the case for Western
military intervention.
Human rights groups like the “Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights” are the
sole sources of information for events on
the ground in Syria, even though the
SOHR is based in London, has no contact
information, no street address, no email
address, no list of officers or employees.
The sole responsible person listed, Rami
Abdul Rahman, is in fact not a real person
at all, as the organization admits, but rather
is “just an alias that was being used by all
SOHR members.” Readers: have a good
look at their website and decide if you
would base a U. S. war against Syria on the
credibility of this organization providing
the “atrocity stories” about Syria. The only
other mention of a real human attached to
this organization is the below photo, whose
caption reads: “Rami Abdelrahman, head of
the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights,
leaves the Foreign and Common wealth
Office after meeting Britain’s For eign
Sec re tary, William Hague, in cen tral
London November 21, 2011.” (Thanks to
Land Destroyer blog for first pointing out
the curiousness of the Syrian opposition
coordinating with the U. K. government.)
It is this or ga ni za tion that has been
someone like Russian Foreign Minister
Sergey Lavrov says that those pushing the
UNSC resolution on Syria were “hysterical”
and “indecent” the world should listen.
The Russians urged that any resolution call
for an end to all violence – on the part of the
government and on the part of the rebels
(based in Turkey and armed by Qatar and
the West). Their urging that both sides stop
shooting rather than just the government
side was ig nored by the U. S./U. K./
NATO/GCC regime changers.
Third: Western militaries and secret
services are already in the vicinity.
We must consider reports of U. K. and
Qatari special forces troops operating in
Syria (alongside their U. S. counterparts no
doubt). One reason to believe these reports
is that they have been denied by the British
government.
Fourth: Has Iran really thrown Syria
under the bus?
Presidents Ahmadinejad of Iran, Russia’s Putin
We have heard reports, most recently on
10 February 2012 from RT, that Iran was
sending some 15,000 special forces into
Syria to help its government defend against
rebel attacks.
Fifth, and finally: Why is Syria being
readied as the next target?
Chutzpah on steroids
Each star is a U. S. base. But, just to be clear,
Iran is the one that is threatening the U. S.
MAP PROVIDED BY JOANECOLE.COM
of Nayirah, who told us harrowing tales of
Saddam’s ruthlessness: “While I was there,
I saw the Iraqi sol diers come into the
hospital with guns, and go into the room
where… babies were in incubators. They
took the babies out of the incubators, took
the incubators, and left the babies on the
cold floor to die.”
No kidding?
Except, as we now know, she turned out
to be the Kuwaiti ambassador’s daughter
and the tale was cooked up in the PR
of fices of Hill & Knowlton with the
collusion of the late, war-loving U. S. Rep.
Tom Lantos…
Likewise, the Syria Observatory for
Human Rights was the source of last
month’s stories of “hundreds murdered” in
Homs, conveniently on the day before the
U. N. Security Council was to vote a U. S./
U. K./French regime change resolution.
The absurdity that Assad would be insane
enough to go Rambo on his cities the day
before the U. N./NATO’s Libya liberators
decided whether or not to invade was lost
on most observers, who see what they want
to see in these situations once the narrative
has been established. That is why just a day
later when “hundreds” became “dozens”
and many of those dozens turned out to be
Syrian security forces killed by the famed
unarmed democracy protestors, nobody
noticed. The narrative was set. No matter

ci vil ians in the pro cess. The Syr ian
opposition groups, i.e., Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights, again makes the claim
that in fact Assad is blowing up his own
military and intelligence facilities. Rational
people might judge for themselves whether
a leader attempting to put down an armed
insurrection in his country would start
by blow ing up his own mil i tary. Alas,
rationality has been thrown out the window
in the frenzied rush to regime change.
Second: Once burned, twice shy – or,
the pitfalls of falling for the propaganda.
The Rus sians and Chi nese, whose
skepticism on Libya proved to be very well
placed and who as a re sult ve toed the
recent Syria “regime change” resolution
in the U. N. Security Council are doubly
skeptical on Syria, and having been proven
right on Libya should be accorded a degree
of attention this time. That is why when
The U. S. is “reviewing military options”
against the Syrian government. U. S. bases
literally surround Iran and Iran may have
lent military assistance to its ally, Syria.
The Israelis have been champing at the bit
to attack Iran, but fear having to go it alone.
When the U. S. begins military action
against Syria, what are the chances that a
huge Iranian attack on U. S. forces in Syria
or vicinity might be manufactured? What
would be the U. S. response considering
the “toxic” pro-war brew that Mike Lofgren
points out is currently being quaffed in
Washington? Smells a bit like Tonkin in
Damascus?
One final note: News organizations and
websites that have uncritically reported the
atrocity stories from these “human rights”
groups have helped set the stage for military
action against Syria, and have been in fact
part of the psychological preparation of
the battlefield. As such, they should be
con sid ered as mor ally cul pable for the
di sas ter that will soon un fold for the
Syrians and for us as the John McCains and
the Hillary Clintons and the Sean Hannities
and the Bill Kristols of the world.
U. S. adoptions criticized
presstv.ir
oscow has called for an immediate
ban on the adoption of Russian children by
American citizens amid increasing numbers
of child cruelty cases by the U. S. adoptive
parents.
In a statement issued on 11 February, the
Russian foreign ministry said adoptions by
U. S. families should be suspended until the
international adoption agreement signed by
the two countries on 13 July 2011 comes
into force.
“Against the backdrop of an unending
series of crimes in the United States against
Russian children, the Russian foreign
ministry believes… it expedient to suspend
the adoptions procedure for U. S. citizens in
the Russian Federation,” the statement said.
According to Russian authorities at least
17 Russian children have died in domestic
M
vi o lence in ci dents in their Amer i can
fam i lies.
The ministry also condemned as “too
mild” the prison sentence given to an
American woman charged with brutally
abusing her adopted Russian daughter.
Theresa Mcnulty was sentenced to 23
months in prison with possibility of release
within 8 months. The girl was eventually
hospitalized after suffering burns to ten
percent of her body.
In 2010, a Tennessee woman put her
adopted Russian son on a plane back to
Moscow alone, saying she could no longer
cope with his violent behavior.
The United States has the world’s most
adoptive parents and Russia has long been
one of its biggest providers. U. S. citizens
have adopted nearly 50,000 Rus sian
children since the early 1990s.

— The International Jew —
“Jewish rights” clash with American rights
This inventor/writer studied not
only horseless carriage science but
what drives a certain deviant sect.
By Henry Ford
The Dearborn Independent, 12 March 1921
It is well that the public
should understand that the
present study of the Jewish
Question in the United
States is not based upon
religious differences. The
religious element does not
en ter ex cept when it is
in jected by the Jews themselves. And it
is in jected in three ways: First, in their
allegation that any study of the Jews is
“religious persecution”; second, by their
own records of what their ac tiv ities in
the United States consist of; third, by the
impression which is very misleading if
not cor rected, that the Jews are the Old
Testament people of the Old Testament
religion which is so highly regarded in the
Christian world. The Jews are not the Old
Testament people, and the Old Testament,
their Bible, can be found among them only
with diffi culty. They are a Talmudical
people who have preferred the volumes of
rabbinical speculation to the words of their
ancient Prophets.
The note of religion does not enter this
discussion until the Jews place it there. In
this series of ar ticles we have set aside
every non-Jewish statement on this question,
and have accepted only that which proceeds
from recognized Jewish sources. It has
been more than a surprise, in studying the
proceedings of the New York Kehillah and
the American Jewish Committee and their
affiliated organizations, as represented by
their activities throughout the country, to
learn how large a part of these activities
have a religious bearing, as being directly
and combatively anti-Christian.
Most intolerant dissemblers
That is to say, when the Jews set forth in
the public charters and constitutions of
their organizations that their only purpose
is to “protect Jewish rights,” and when the
public asks what are these “Jewish rights”
which need protection in this free country,
the answer can be found only in the actions
which the Jews take to secure that “protection.” The actions interpret the words. And
thus interpreted, “Jewish rights” seem to
be summed up in the “right” to banish
everything from their sight and hearing that
even suggests Christianity or its Founder.
It is just there, from the Jewish side, that
religious intolerance makes its appearance.
What follows in the course of this article
is nothing less nor more than a group of
citations from Jewish records covering a
number of years. It is given here partly as
an answer to the charge that this series of
articles is “religious persecution,” and
partly to help interpret by official actions
the official Jewish program in the United
States.
An important factor is that previous to
the for ma tion of the Kehillah and the
Jewish Committee, this sort of attack on
the rights of Americans was sporadic, but
since 1906 it has increased in number and
insistence. Heretofore it has gone unheeded
by the public as a whole because of our
general tolerance in this country, but from
this time forth the country will possess
information that what it has been tolerating
is intolerance itself. Under cover of the ideal
of Liberty we have given certain people
liberty to attack liberty. We ought at least to
know when that is being done.
Look rapidly down the years and see
one phase of that attack. It is the attack on
Christianity.
That is rather a hard thing to set down in
writing in this country, and it would not be
set down did not the facts compel it. Jewish
writers nowadays show a great deal of
anxiety that non-Jews should follow certain
Christian doctrines. “We gave you your
Sav ior, and he told you to love your
enemies; why don’t you love us?” is the
implication with which their statements
usually come.
However, here are a few items from the
record: They are recorded according to the
Jewish calendar (our modern calendar is
“Christian,” and therefore taboo) but here
both calendar dates shall be supplied.
5661 (A.D. 1899-1900) The Jews attempt
to have the word “Christian” removed from
the Bill of Rights of the State of Virginia.
5667 (A.D. 1906-1907) The Jews of
Oklahoma petition the Constitutional Convention protesting that the acknowledgement
of Christ in the new State constitution then
being formulated would be repugnant to
the Constitution of the United States.
5668 (A.D. 1907-1908) Widespread
demand by the Jews during this year for
the complete sec u lar ization of pub lic
institutions of this country, as a part of the
demand of the Jews for their constitutional
rights. – Supreme Court Justice Brewer’s
statement that this is a Christian country
widely controverted by Jewish rabbis and
publications.
They forbid Christian prayer
5669 (A.D. 1908-1909) protests made
to governor of Arkansas against “Christological expressions” employed by him in
his Thanksgiving Day proclamation, 1908
– Professor Gotthard Deutsch protests
against “Christological prayers” at the high
school graduating exercises in Cincinnati.
5673 (A.D. 1912-1913) The alarming
growth of the Jewish population in New
York makes it necessary for business men
advertising for clerks or secretaries, or
housewives advertising for help, to specify
where Jewish help was not desired, otherwise the flood of Jewish applicants was
overwhelming. The expressions “Christian
preferred,” or “Jews please do not apply”
are used. This year the New York Kehillah
takes the matter in hand stating that “these
advertisements indicate an alarming
growth of discrimination against Jews and
it is remarkable that many firms which
cater to the trade of Jews display this form
of prejudice.”
5679 (A.D. 1918-1919) The American
Jewish Committee took up the al leged
discrimination against Jews by army
contractors. Louis Marshall, president of
the Committee, notified Newton D. Baker,
Secretary of War, that ad ver tisements
had ap peared calling for car pen ters to
work in government camps, and that the
advertisements required the applicants to be
Christians. Secretary Baker replied that he
had made an order prohibiting contractors
from making this discrimination. (On the
whole, this special form of advertisement
may ap pear rather stupid: how many
Jewish carpenters are there? Not enough
to discriminate against. But there were
doubtless other reasons.)
Provost Marshall Crowder, in charge of
the Selective Draft, had issued an order to
all medical examiners, under direction of
the Surgeon General, stating “The foreignborn, es pe cially Jews, are more apt to
malinger than the native born,” and Louis
Mar shall again telegraphed both the
Provost Marshall and the Surgeon General
demanding that “the further use of this
form shall be at once discontinued; that
every copy of it that has been issued should
be recalled by telegram; and that proper
explanations be made, so as to expunge
from the archives of the United States the
unwarranted stigma upon three millions of
people.”
It was President Wilson, however, who
eventually ordered the excision of this
paragraph.
The United States Shipping Board sent
an advertisement to the New York Times
calling for a file clerk and stating that a
“Christian” (by which is always meant a
non-Jew) was preferred. The ad was not
published as written; it was changed so
that it requested applicants to state their
religion and nationality. This last form
would seem to be far more objectionable
than the other. In the first instance the
employer states fairly what he wants. In the
second instance the applicant is compelled
to divulge certain facts about himself in
utter ignorance of the employer’s preference.
In the first instance, only the two classes
that can do business get together; in the
second instance there is no clearness about
the situation until much useless effort is
undertaken. Why? Because the Kehillah
demands it. And why does the Kehillah
demand it? Because, while it is all right for
a Jew to remember that he is a Jew, it is not
all right for you to remember it.
Discrimination only for them
So Louis Marshall got into action again
with the Shipping Board, this time with
certain drastic demands. Strangely enough,
the protest was lodged through Bainbridge
Colby, who was Woodrow Wilson’s last
Secretary of State. Mr. Marshall demanded:
“Not because of any desire for inflicting
punishment, but for the sake of example
and the es tablish ment of a necessary
precedent, this offense should be followed
by a dismissal from the public service of
the offender, and the pub lic should be
informed of the reason.”
Attention is particularly called to the
tone which Mr. Mar shall adopts when
addressing high American officials in the
name of the Jewish Committee. It is not to
be duplicated in the addresses of any other
rep resentatives of other nationalities or
faiths.
Unfortunately for Mr. Marshall’s plan
of punishment, the object of his wrath was
found to be a woman, and she was not
discharged, although the Jewish Committee
got an apology from Charles M. Schwab.
The Federal Reserve Bank and Liberty
Loan Committee also got it wrong when an
advertisement was printed calling for a
“Ste nog ra pher for the Lib erty Loan
Committee (Christian).” Protest was made
to Benjamin Strong, governor of the
Fed eral Reserve Bank and chair man of
the Lib erty Loan Com mit tee, and the
advertisement was withdrawn. But this
was not enough. Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo was also drawn in to express his
“reprobation for an unpatriotic act.”
An of fi cer in the Quar ter mas ter’s
Department replied to a young woman who
applied for the position of secretary to him
that he preferred not to have Jews on his
office staff. He was reprimanded upon the
request of Mr. Marshall.
The Plattsburg Manual, published for
of fi cers in the United States of fi cers’
training camps, contained the statement that
“the ideal officer is a Christian gentleman.”
Mr. Marshall at once made the standard
protest against all “Christological manifestations,” and the Manual was changed to
read, “the ideal offi cer is a cour te ous
gentleman.”
Ultimate hypocrisy
5680 (A.D. 1919-1920) In this year the
Kehillah was so successful in its New York
campaign that it was possible for a Jewish
advertiser in New York to say that he
wanted Jewish help, but it was not possible
for a non-Jewish advertiser to state his
non-Jewish preference. This is a sidelight
both on Jewish reasonableness and Jewish
power.
One gathers that a few people are still
hug ging the de lu sion that there is no
Jewish Question in the United States. But
another glance down the records will show
the most prejudiced person that there is
such a Question. If space permitted, the
few details added below could be matched
by a sufficient number to overflow all the
pages of this paper.
5668 (A.D. 1907-1908) Jews agitate in
many cities against Bible reading, Christmas
celebrations or carols. In Philadelphia,
Cincinnati, St. Paul and New York the
Jewish opposition to the carols is met with
strong counter-movements.
Jewish rights on the romp
5669 (A.D. 1908-1909) Jewish Community at Tamaqua, Pennsylvania, defeats
resolution providing daily Bible Reading
in the schools. – Jews attempting same
compulsion in New Jersey are met with
decision that pupils may absent themselves
from devotional exercises. – Jewish agitation
in Louisiana stirs ministerial association to
defend the right of the school to the Bible.
– Lo cal coun cil of Jew ish Women of
Baltimore petitions school board to prohibit
Christmas exercises. – On demand of Edwin
Wolf, Jewish member, Philadelphia school
board prohibits Christmas exercises. –
Jews present bills asking that New York
Hebrews be permitted to ply trades and
businesses on Sunday. Interdenominational
Ministers’ Conference takes official action
and Rev. Dr. David J. Burrell, of the Marble
Collegiate Church, states that the attempts
of the Jews to undermine the sanctity of
Sunday are ethically unjustified.
5670 (A.D. 1909-1910) On demand of
Jews the school board of Bridge port,
Penn syl va nia, votes to dis con tinue the
recitation of the Lord’s Prayer in the
schools. – In Kentucky State Senate, Jews
defeat the Tichenor Bill making the Bible a
book eligible for the schools.
5671 (A.D. 1910-1911) Jews oppose
Bible reading and singing of hymns in Detroit schools. – New York State Federation
of Labor opposes Jewish Bill to exempt
Jews from prosecution for violating Sunday
laws. (The workingman knows that it
means a 7-day week for the Goy!) – New
York Kehillah does two contradictory
things; favors bill to permit Jews to do all
kinds of business on Sunday, and pledges
itself to cooperate in the strict enforcement
of the Sunday laws.
Relentless drive to compel
5672 (A.D. 1911-1912) Upon the urgence
of two Jews the Hartford, Connecticut,
school board votes on the question of
abolishing all religious exercises in the
schools. The motion is lost by 5 to 4. –
Jewish pupils in Passaic, New Jersey,
school petition the board of education to
eliminate the Bible and all Christian songs
from the school. – At the request of a rabbi,
three principals of Roxbury, Massachusetts,
public schools agree to banish the Christmas
tree and omit all references to the season in
their schools. – Jewish pupils of Plainfield,
New Jersey, petition the abolition of the
Bible and Christian songs from the schools.
– The Council of the University Settlement,
at the request of the New York Kehillah
and the Federation of Rumanian Jews
adopts this resolution: “That in holiday
celebrations held annually by the Kindergarten As so ci a tion at the Uni ver sity
Settlement every feature of any sectarian
char ac ter, in clud ing Christ mas trees,
Christ mas pro grams and Christ mas
songs, and so on, shall be eliminated.” –
Philadelphia Kehillah demands that Jews
be exempted from operation of the Sunday
laws. – In the Outlook, Dr. Lyman Abbott
advises an inquiring schoolmaster that he
is under no moral obligation to admit Jews
to his private school. – A Jewish delegate
to the Ohio Constitutional Convention
suggests that the constitution be made to
forbid religious references in the schools. –
Jewish merchants of Paterson, New Jersey,
petition for exemption from the Sunday
laws. – Board of education of Yonkers,
New York, denies Jewish request to forbid
singing of Christian songs in the schools.
5673 (A.D. 1912-1913) Annual Convention Independent Order of B’nai B’rith

against reading the Bible and singing
Christian songs in public schools. – Jews at

5674 (A.D. 1913-1914)
This year the en er gies of
the Jew ish pow ers were
concentrated on the task of
preventing the United States
from changing immigration
laws in a manner to protect
the country from undesirable
aliens.
5675 (A.D. 1914-1915) Jewish rabbi
demands of California State superintendent
of pub lic instruction that some verses
appearing in school readers be eliminated.
– New York Kehillah concerns itself with
attempts to secure modification of the
Sunday laws.
5676 (A.D. 1915-1916) This year
oc cu pied by op po si tion to var i ous
movements toward making the schools
free to use the Bible, and in opposition to
the Gary system. The Gary system receives
a great deal of attention from the Jews this
year.
5677 (A.D. 1916-1917) Jews are busy
carrying out an immense campaign against
the “literacy clause” of the immigration
bill.
Compulsion to dominate
And so it goes on. The incidents quoted
are typical, not occasional. They represent
what is transpiring all the time in the
United States as the Jews pursue their
“rights.” There is no interference whatever
with Jewish ways and manners. The Jew
may use his own calendar, keep his own
days, observe his own form of worship,
live in his own ghetto, exist on a dietary
principle all his own, slaughter his cattle in
a manner of which no one who knows
about it can approve – he can do all these
things without molestation, without the
slightest question of his right in them. But
the non-Jew is now the “persecuted one.”
He must do everything the way the Jew
wants it done; if not, he is “infringing on
Jewish rights.”
Less gullible goy
Americans are very sensitive about
infringing on other people’s rights. The
Jews might have gone on for a long time
had they not overplayed their hand. What
the people are now coming to see is that it
is American rights that have been interfered
with, and the interference has been made
with the assistance of their own broadmindedness. The Jews’ interference with
the religion of the others, and the Jews’
determination to wipe out of public life
every sign of the predominant Christian
character of the United States, is the only
active form of religious intolerance in the
country today.
To control, not kill reverence
But there is still another phase of the
matter. Not content with the fullest liberty
to follow their own faith in peace and
quietness, in a country where none dares
make them afraid, the Jews declare – we
read it in their activities – that every sight
and sound of any thing Chris tian is an
invasion of their peace and quietness, and
so they stamp it out wherever they can
reach it through political means. To what
lengths this spirit may run is shown in
the prophecies of the Talmud, and in the
“reforms” undertaken by the Bolsheviki of
Russia and Austria.
But even that is not all; not con tent
with their own lib erty, not con tent with
the “secularization,” which means the
de-Christianization of all public institutions,
the third step observable in Jewish activities
is the actual ex altation of Ju da ism as a
rec og nized and spe cially priv i leged
system. The program is the now a familiar
one wherever the Jewish Program is found:
first, establishment; second, destruction of
all that is non-Jewish or anti-Jewish; third,
exaltation of Judaism in all its phases.
Put the Lord’s Prayer and certain Shakespeare plays out of the public schools; but
put Jewish courts in the public buildings –
that is the way it works. Secularization is
preparatory to Judaization.
Shakespeare’s characterizations “on the money”
The New York Kehillah is an illustration
of how it is all done, and the American
Jewish Committee is an illustration of the
type of men who do it.
Can’t get more two-faced
Now for illustrations of the third phase
of the program of “defending Jewish
rights.”
The year 5669 (A.D. 1908-1909) was
marked by an effort to introduce the idea of
the Jewish Sabbath into public business.
Jews refused to sit as jurors in court, thus
postponing cases. Boycotts were instituted
in New York against merchants who
opened on Saturday. That this campaign
has borne fruit is known by all travelers in
eastern cities who notice that even large
department stores are closed on Saturday.
The year 5670 (A.D. 1909-1910) was
ded i cated ap par ently to the work of
introducing the idea of Jewish national
holidays into public life. This question
lately rose in New York in a threatening
way, but was withdrawn just before the
breaking point. Only temporarily withdrawn,
however. The feint revealed the identity
and number of those who are still on guard
against the complete Judaization of their
city. – Jewish members of stock exchanges
en deav ored to have these in sti tu tions
recognize Yom Kippur by closing; In
Cleveland this was done. – The Council
of Jewish Women appealed to the Civil
Service Commission at Washington for
rec og nition of Jew ish hol i days. – In
Newark, New Jersey, the rabbis asked the
night schools to discontinue Friday evening
ses sions, be cause the Jew ish Sab bath
begins at sundown on Friday.
Forever pushy
In 1911 an attempt to have He brew
officially recognized was frustrated by
Supreme Court Judge Goff who refused
incorporation of “Agudath Achim Kahal
Adath Jeshurun” on the ground that the
title should be in English. – Chicago Jews
have election date changed because the
official date fell on the last day of the
Passover.
In 1912-1913 a num ber of spe cial
recognitions of the Saturday Sabbath were
obtained, including Jersey City, Bayonne,
Hoboken, Union Hill. In the Ohio legislature
the Jews defeated a bill fixing a certain
Saturday as the date of a primary election.
In 1913-1914 the United States Bureau
of Immi gra tion granted the re quest of
Simon Wolf, long-time Jewish lobbyist at
Washington, that instructions be given the
Immigration Commissioners that no Jews
be deported on Jewish holidays. – The
Women’s Party of Cook County, Illinois,
passes resolutions against allowing Jewish
teachers to draw full pay for absence during
Jewish holidays. – In this year also the
question of the Jews’ method of slaughtering
an i mals – the Shehitah – was brought
forward. The American Jewish Committee
thought this ques tion of suf fi cient
importance to engage its full interest.
Rigidly unassimilable
This series of facts could also be pursued
at length. Kosher food for the children of
public schools because there were Jewish
children in the schools; protest against the
Daylight Saving Ordinances because they
were prejudicial to Jewish merchants who
close their businesses on Saturday and
open them after nightfall on that day. This
is an illustration of the large number of
small points at which Jewish life conflicts
with community life. And, of course, each
of these di vergences is ground for an
imperious “demand.” – Harvard University
was severely criticized in 1917-1918 for
refusing to set aside an entrance examination
date that conflicted with a Jewish holiday.
Since that time, however, eastern universities
have become more pliable. But the whole
course of the Christian year would have to
be changed and all the traditional seasonal
customs of the country broken up if the
Jews are to be given the full measure of
“liberty” which they demand.
Of course, the work of the Kehillah is
claimed to be “educational.” It certainly is
that. The best educated members are those
who come from the ghettos of Galatia
where the Kehillah idea is fully understood
and the Jewish community government
exercises unrestricted sway.
Whatever other phase of education the
Kehillah may be interested in, it certainly
stresses most the education to separateness.
The New York Times especially likes to
emphasize this matter of “education.” It is
a con ve nient de scrip tion and some what
aids the effort to minimize Kehillah’s
impor tance when it is un der scru tiny.
Nev er the less in the New York Times an
ar ticle ap peared about the Kehillah in
which Dr. S. Benderly, director of the
Bureau of Education, is quoted as describing
the objects of the education:
Delusions of grandeur
“The problem before us was to form a
body of young Jews who should be on the
one hand true Americans, a part of this
Republic, with an intense interest in
upbuilding American ideals; and yet, on
the other hand, be also Jews in love with
the best of their own ide als, and not
anxious merely to merge with the rest and
disappear among them.
“That problem confronts Orthodox and
Re form Jews alike. It is not merely a
religious but a civic problem.”
That is separatism and exclusivism as an
educational program, and its results cannot
help being a cloud of difference such as
this article has in part disclosed. The New
York Kehillah, through its Bu reau of
Education, is giving “a purely religious
training to 200,000 Jewish children,” the
religious training being, of course, not
what is generally understood by that term,
but a training in ideas of racial superiority
and separateness.

This difference is strikingly illustrated in
Jewish fiction recently. To love a Christian
maiden is sinful; this is the theme of all
sorts of stories, sketches and editorials
appearing these days. But James Gibbons
Huneker, in a sketch extravagantly praised
by Jewish critics, shows how deep this idea
of separateness is when he makes Yaankely
Ostrowicz say: “As a child I trembled at
the sound of mu sic and was taught to
put my fin ger in my ears when pro fane
music, Goy music, was played.” This is the
root idea: All Gentile life and institutions
are “profane.” It is the Jews’ unceasing
consciousness of the Goy that constitutes
the disease of Judaism, this century-long
tradition of separateness.
Jews are not Semites
There is no such thing as anti-Semitism.
There is, however, much anti-Goyism.
In England, Germany, France, America,
Russia, there is no anti-Arab sentiment of
which anyone knows. None of the Semite
peoples have been distinguished by the
special dislike of any other people. There is
no reason why anyone should dislike the
Semites.
It is very strange, however, that the
Semitic people should be a unit in disliking
the Jews. Palestine, which still has only a
handful of Jews, is peopled by Semites
who so thoroughly dislike the Jews that
serious complications are threatening the
Zionistic advances being made there. This
surely is not anti-Semitism. Semites are not
against Semites. But they are at odds with
Jews.
When Aryan and Semite are kept
conscious through many centuries that the
Jew is another race, and when it is known
that neither Aryan nor Semite are touchy
on the race question, what is the answer?
Only this, that the whole substance of such
a situation must be supplied by the Jews.
There is no such thing as anti-Semitism.
There is only a very lit tle and a very
mild anti-Jewism. But a study of Jewish
publications, books, pamphlets, declarations,
constitutions and charters, as well as a
study of organized Jewish action in this
and other countries, indicates that there is
a tremendous amount of anti-Goyism, or
anti-Gentilism.
A closer look at this tribe
Not that it is any thing to fear. It is,
however, something to know. Knowledge
is a good defense. The New York Kehillah,
having as its executive committee the same
committee which is also the ruling group
of Jews known as Dis trict XII of the
American Jewish Committee, is worth
consideration, not only as an illustration of
the interlaced organization which combines
all classes of Jews in one group, but also as
an illustration of what is meant by “Jewish
rights.”
It is worth re mem ber ing that ev ery
“demand” voiced in Washington before
officials and committees, that every high
personage that appears there on Jewish
matters – the Louis Marshalls and the Wises,
the Goldfogles, the Rosalskis, be sides
many oth ers, like the Kahns and the
Schiffs, who keep out of the committee
limelight and away from the protesting
parties – are all linked up, through this
Jew ish in ter est or that, with the main
interest which is based on the Kehillah and
expresses itself through District XII of the
American Jewish Committee.

To be, or not to be
By Dr. William Pierce
I
American Dissident Voices Broadcast of April 29, 2000
n addition to the invasion of White farms by armed
Black gangs and the murder of White farmers, the Black
supporters of dictator Robert Mugabe have turned to a new
terror tactic against Whites: the gang rape of White women.
Eleven days ago, on April 18, a Black gang burst into
the home of a White family just outside Salisbury, now
called “Harare.” They seized 28-year-old Brendan Jowett
and repeatedly smashed him in the head and face with a
brick, un til he lost con scious ness. They dragged his
25-year-old wife Tonia into a bedroom and gang-raped
her. Then they found Tonia’s 18-year-old sister, Laura
Wiggins, hiding in a cupboard.
They dragged her out and raped her repeatedly. Then
the Blacks poured furniture polish, which
they be lieved was fuel oil, over their stole everything they could carry away and
victims and attempted to set them afire, fled. On the same day another White
first with matches and then with a burning farmer and his wife had gasoline poured on
log from the fireplace, but the furniture them, but when the Blacks were ready to
polish would not burn. Finally the Blacks burn their victims they discovered that they
had forgotten to bring matches. The
farmer and his wife got away with a
brutal beating and the wrecking and
looting of their home. White Rhodesians
should at least be thank ful for the
ineptitude of the Blacks.
In the face of the overwhelming
numerical advantage held by the Blacks,
Black ineptitude is not enough to save
the Whites of Rho de sia from their
enemies, unfortunately. As I reported
last Saturday, on Tuesday of last week,
a Black mob murdered Martin Olds on
his farm near Bulawayo, Rhodesia’s
second-largest city. The 43-year-old
White farmer knew that Black mobs
were operating in his area, and he had
sent his wife Kathy and two children,
17-year-old Martine and 14-year-old Angus,
to stay with friends in the city. Olds was
a former member of the Grey Scouts,
Rhodesia’s elite anti-terrorist unit, before
his country surrendered itself to Black rule
in 1979. His neighbors
considered him completely
fearless. Ten years ago, when
a friend had been seized
by a crocodile, Olds had
leaped from his boat and wrestled the
crocodile in order to free his friend.
Olds was alone on his 12,000-acre cattle
farm when a mob of 70 armed Blacks
at tacked his farm house early Tues day
morning. He telephoned the police station,
which was less than ten minutes away, but
the Black police didn’t show up until five
hours later, af ter he was dead and the
at tack ers were gone. Olds de fended
himself with a shotgun and a hunting rifle,
and he wounded several of his attackers.
He himself was hit by sev eral bul lets,
and the bone in one leg was shattered. He
bandaged and splinted his leg and continued
defending himself till losing consciousness.
Then the Blacks swarmed over him and
beat him to death with clubs.

heodore Roosevelt was America’s

In 1968, his son,
Archibald B. Roosevelt, compiled the
book, Theodore Roosevelt on Race-RiotsReds-Crime. Archibald combed through
the twenty-four-volume Memorial Edition
of The Works of Theodore Roosevelt. He
selected from these extensive works many
of his father’s opinions in order to publish
his own book in which he cites volume and

funded Black schools.
From the Cato Institute (1998)…
For decades critics of the public schools
have been say ing, “You can’t solve
educational problems by throwing money
at them.” The education establishment and
its supporters have replied, “No one’s ever
tried.” In Kan sas City they did try. To
improve the education of Black students
and encourage desegregation, a federal
judge invited the Kansas City, Missouri,
School Dis trict to come up with a
cost-is-no-ob ject ed u cational plan and
ordered local and State taxpayers to find
the money to pay for it.
Lethargic paradise
Kansas City spent as much as $11,700
per pupil – more money per pupil, on a cost
of living adjusted basis, than any other of
the 280 largest districts in the country. The
money bought higher teachers’ salaries, 15
new schools, and such amenities as an
Olympic-sized swimming pool with an
underwater viewing room, television and
animation studios, a robotics lab, a 25-acre
wildlife sanctuary, a zoo, a model United
Nations with simultaneous translation
capability, and field trips to Mexico and
Senegal. The student-teacher ratio was 12
or 13 to 1, the lowest of any major school
district in the country.
The results were dismal. Test scores
did not rise; the Black-White gap did not
diminish; and there was less, not greater,
integration.
The Kansas City experiment suggests
that, indeed, educational problems can’t be
solved by throw ing money at them, that
the structural problems of our current
educational system are far more important
than a lack of material re sources, and
that the fo cus on de seg re ga tion di verted
attention from the real prob lem, low

Hungarian deportation: an objectivity lesson
By Carolyn Yeager
[email protected]
www.eliewieseltattoo.com
c/o CODOH
P. O. Box 439016
San Ysidro, CA 92143
or a lesson in objectivity,
let’s compare this photograph
of real Hungarians arriving
at Auschwitz-Birkenau, and
meeting real German officers,
guards and kapos… with the
sketch below it of a similar
scene that was presented to
the public by the Auschwitz
Memorial Museum in Poland in January of this
year.
They ex pect us to be lieve it was “taken from
a unique sketchbook drawn around 1943 at the
Birkenau camp by a prisoner who hid it in a bottle.”
Further explanation is that “a former prisoner
[unnamed] working as a watchman discovered
the 32 sketches in a bottle near the death camp’s
crematorium in 1947.” He found it in 1947? Yet it
was only January 2012 that they published these
drawings in a book they titled, The Sketchbook
from Auschwitz? It includes 22 pages of drawings
from this “unknown prisoner whose initials were
apparently MM.”
F
Single leg for holohoax to stand on
Museum spokesman Pawel Sawicki told Spiegel
Online (where more of the sketches can be seen),
“These sketches are the only work of art made in
Birkenau that depict exterminations.” Gee whiz,
“work of art” must include photographs because
there are none of those either! Are they subtly
trying to equate drawings with photographs by this
kind of wording? We must suspect they are.
The museum art historian Agnieszka Sieradzka
wrote in the book, “You can clearly see that the
author was determined to present the largest
number of details. Badges of functionary prisoners,
number plates of trucks, train cars on the ramp as
well as block numbers are carefully depicted.”
Sure, “the artist” was copying all the photos that
were available, but adding “his” own extra details –
such as the rifles held by all the soldiers, which are
not in the above photograph. There are no kapos or
prisoner-workers in striped clothing in the drawing,
only SS men. The new arrivals are all wearing Star
of David badges, of which we do not see a single
one in the photograph. They are dressed like
well-to-do city folk in suits and hats, whereas the
photograph shows the women’s heads covered
with “babushkas” (scarfs) and the men in caps or
the Orthodox black hats.
Weaseling out endless cash
In the photograph those arrivees are
talking to the soldiers without fear while
the sketch shows only soldiers, with their
SS lapels carefully detailed, pointing guns
or shouting orders. In other words, the
sketch might show the details of the train,
the towers, the uniforms – but not the true
way the people looked and dressed, nor
how they were treated. That last part is all
comic-type fantasy taken from fictional
books like Elie Wiesel’s Night. There is even
a drawing of a “crematorium building”
showing red-colored fire and heavy smoke
coming out of the double chimneys! We
know no one actually saw that. The no-
doubt-modern-day-artist had a field day
dreaming up as much anti-Ger man
meanness and Jewish humiliation as “he”
could.

United Kingdom honors its tradition of waging wars
Those City of London banksters
were prior to the American crop.
presstv.ir
Britain insists on honoring its longstanding tradition of waging wars on other
na tions de spite calls from the Brit ish
public who have expressed their opposition
to more foreign military interventions.
Recent reports have revealed British
troops playing a leading role in armed
terror gangs’ bloody battle against Syrian
civilians and the Syrian army forces.
An intelligence report, published by the
Israeli website Debka-file, which is known
for its links with in telligence sources,
re vealed that Brit ish forces have been
supplying armed terror gangs in the Syrian
city of Homs with arms, lo gis tics and
in tel li gence.
This comes as the majority of British
people have voiced their opposition to
Britain’s military intervention in Syria and
the British government’s subversive plots
for the future of Syria.
A recent YouGov poll showed that 66%
of the British people were against sending
U. K. allied troops to Syria while only 9%
supported such action.
Moreover, 55% of the respondents said
they were against providing arms to Syria’s
West-backed rebels while only 16% said
they were in favor of the idea.
The results came as Britain started to
draw up new plots to topple the government
of the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad
after the Western-Arab draft resolution at
the United Nations Security Council failed
after being vetoed by Russia and China.
British foreign secretary
William Hague called for
Britain’s contact with Syria’s
rebels to be intensified and
British Prime Minister David
Cameron chaired a meeting
of the Na tional Se cu rity
Coun cil.
Prior to the meeting, Hague briefed
cabinet ministers on the possible plots set
for the future of Syria and speculations
went viral that the British government
would supply Syria’s terror gangs with arms,
intelligence and direct tactical support.
The speculations were followed by an
update that Britain’s intelligence agency,

Anti-Semitic, Ashkenazi “Jews”
from East Europe not only occupy
Palestine but even send their U. S.
Congressmunchkins bombing all
Semitic nations into surrendering.
Let’s review the TRUE history (for
a change) of Israel’s next target, as
recounted in the 1942 Edition of
Compton’s Pictured Encyclopedia:
SYRIA. Though the name Syria today
[1942] is commonly restricted to the part
of Turkey which was put under French
mandate in 1920, in the wider geographical
and historical sense it includes Palestine as
well. This ancient Syria is the narrow strip
of land extending along the western edge
of the Arabian peninsula, as far north as the
Taurus Mountains, with the Mediterranean
on one side and the desert on the other. Syria
forms a bridge between Africa and Asia,
between two ancient homes of civilization,
the valleys of the Nile and the Euphrates.
So, too, it is a link between East and West,
a great highway of civilization, a battleground between empires.
Look at Syria in another way and you
see it as the western wing of the semi-circle
of fertile land which fringes the Arabian
desert, extending from the southeast corner
of the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf –
the region which has come to be known as
the Fertile Crescent. There are many dry
places even in Syria, but to the Canaanites
and other tribes that drifted into it from the
desert it was a garden land. Within it are
contained the rich valleys of the Lebanon
Mountain region, where the Phoenicians
made their home; the verdant Plain of
Esdraelon, in Pal es tine, the land of the
Israelites; and the fertile Plain of Sharon to
the southeast, which was the country of the

Washington’s Farewell Address:
1796 – “Against the insidious wiles of foreign
in flu ence (I con jure you to be lieve me,
fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people
ought to be constantly awake, since history
and experience prove that foreign influence
is one of the most baneful foes of republican
government. But that jealousy to be useful
must be im par tial; else it be comes the
in stru ment of the very in flu ence to be
avoided, instead of a defense against it.
Excessive partiality for one foreign nation
and excessive dislike of another cause those
whom they actuate to see danger only on one
side, and serve to veil and even second the
arts of influence on the other. Real patriots
who may resist the intrigues of the favorite

while its tools and dupes usurp the applause
and confidence of the people, to surrender
their interests.”
ancient Philistines. Northern Syria was the
abode of the Arameans, who were in very
ancient times the merchants and traders of
the Eastern world. Their widespread trade
connections carried their language, the
Aramaic, far and wide until it became the
common business tongue of the entire
Fertile Crescent. In time it even displaced
its sister tongue, the Hebrew of Palestine,
and thus became the speech of Jesus and
the Jewish people of his time in Palestine.
Ex cept for the Hit tites and the
Philistines, who became merged with the
other peoples, these tribes which made up
the population of Syria in ancient times
were Semites. And although Greeks,
Romans, Turks, Kurds, and Euro pean
crusaders have blended with the original
stock, the Syrians of today are still mainly
Semitic and the language of the country
is Arabic, a Se mitic language which is
related to the ancient Hebrew.
In spite of this racial kinship, however,
these various tribes have never united to
form a strong nation. This is due, doubtless,
in part to their natural character, and in part
to the fact that Syria is broken up by desert
and moun tain into a number of petty
provinces, but most of all to the fact that
Syria, placed between strong rival powers,
was forced to play the part of a buffer State,
subject to alien rule.
Syria is the home of many religions
and sects. The Mohammedans are in the
majority, although there are also great
numbers of Christians and Jews. Among the
many strange sects are the Mohammedan
Druses, noted for their hatred of the Christian
sect called the Maronites, numbering about
300,000 and under the jurisdiction of the
pope, but with many special observances
and privileges.
After having passed through the hands
of the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the
Persians, the Macedonians under Alexander
the Great, and the Romans, Syria was
conquered in the 7th century AD by the
Arabs. In 1099 the Crusaders established
the kingdom of Jerusalem and the principality of Antioch, but they were driven out
in the latter part of the 12th century by
Saladin, sultan of Egypt. In 1516 Syria
was conquered by the Ottoman Turks, who
remained in possession until expelled by
British troops during the World War of
1914-18. At the peace conference the Arab
claim was overruled and the mandate for
Syria, exclusive of Palestine, was given to
France.
For a few years the French, in spite of
Syrian national aspirations and Turkish
attempts to regain control in the north, made
progress in setting up an administration
similar to that maintained in Africa. The
attempt of Emir Faisal to set up a Syrian
monarchy was defeated (1919-20), banditry
was suppressed, and Turkey, after a year of
fighting, was placated by the Treaty of
Angora (Oct. 20, 1921), which gave her a
strip along the northern edge, including the
Bagdad railway from a point near Aleppo
eastward. In 1921 General Gouraud, the
French High Commissioner, also set up

Leb a non and in the Jebel (mean ing
“mountain”) Druse district southeast of
Damascus, and made progress in developing
roads, motor caravans, and industry. This
policy was continued by General Weygand
in 1924, and although Syrian charges of
oppression and governmental extravagance
continued, progress seemed steady until
the appointment of General Sarrail as
commissioner in 1925. Sarrail’s tactics
stirred the Druses to revolt, and after some
successes against French forces they moved
on Damascus. After local riots there,
Sarrail bombarded the Mohammedan
quarter (October 18-20) with heavy loss of
life. After his recall, peace was restored,
though the struggle for independence
continued.
Following the defeat of France in the
second World War, there was large-scale
German infiltration into Syria. Great Britain
and “Free France,” to meet this threat,
sent troops into Syria. After brief armed
resistance, France in 1941 agreed to an
armistice providing for allied occupation.
Even with the primitive agricultural
methods still practised, Syria produces
considerable crops of small grains, fruit,
hemp, indigo, and tobacco. The horses are
splen did creatures but the cattle of the
region are small and insignificant.
Among the leading cities are Beirut, an
important seaport, and the seat of a large
American missionary college; Aleppo
(Haleb), which is again becoming a great
commercial center, as it was in ancient
times; Antioch (Antakiyeh), noted as one
of the chief centers of early Christianity;
Jerusalem; and Damascus, the largest city
and one of the most ancient cities in the
world. The total population of Syria is over
3,000,000. (See also Palestine.)
Why not bomb those towelheads in Iran like we did Iraq?
By Kevin Barrett
TruthJihad.com
Most Americans who
op pose the neoconZionist push for war
on Iran just don’t like
the Iranian form of
government…
mainly be cause they
don’t un der stand it.
The Islamic Republic
of Iran is called a democracy by some, a
theocracy by others. In fact, it is both.
It is democratic in two senses. First, it
has compet itive and rela tively hon est
elections for all relevant national, regional
and local offices. In this sense its degree of
democracy is somewhere between Europe,
where elections are generally legitimate,
and the U.S.A, where black-box voting
ma chines and pro pa ganda spe cialists
decide outcomes and voters are almost
entirely irrelevant.
Conspirators unwelcome
Some argue that Iran is undemocratic
because certain opposition parties are not
given free reign. This is true to the extent
that those par ties are not cats-paws of
powerful foreign forces trying to undermine Iran. But the unfortunate reality is
that Iran has faced a non-stop terrorist
onslaught from the U. S. and Israel since its
1979 revolution. Its republican form of
government could not survive if foreignsupported entities were to participate in
power. Just as Fidel Castro and Hugo
Chavez have every right to repress those
who participate in U. S. attempts to subvert
their nations, so too Iran has the same basic
right of self-defense against vastly more
powerful, heavily-armed, and unscrupulous
adversaries.
Iran is democratic in a second sense: Its
theocratic elements are supported by a
strong majority of the population.
What are those theocratic elements,
exactly? In effect, Iran’s Islamic Republic
follows the U. S. model of the three branches
of government – executive, legislative and
judicial – with one key difference: The head
of the Iranian judicial system, the Supreme
Leader (equivalent of the Chief Justice of
the U. S. Supreme Court) has some of the
pow ers that the U. S. del e gates to the
executive. Since Iran’s legal system is,
quite naturally, based on the indigenous
Is lamic system (just as the U. S. legal
system is based on its inherited system),
the executive-empowered judiciary in Iran
follows a version of Islamic legal tradition
and is thus “theocratic.”
I think this theocratic element is a good
thing. In fact, its sur vival is crit i cally
important for the future of humanity.
It’s either vigilance or vice
The basic political problem that confronts
humanity is actually very simple: Those
who want power are the last people on
earth who should have it. In complex
societies, power-hungry, congenitally-evil
peo ple tend to rise to the top of power
hierarchies. See my essay “Twilight of the
Psychopaths.”
The U.S.A kept a lid on this problem
through much of its history, thanks to its
Con sti tu tion ally-en shrined di vision of
power, and more importantly its Christian
ethic of public service and public morality.
Now the lid is off; today’s U.S.A may be
the most corrupt and evil nation ever to
disgrace the face of the earth.
There is only one solution to humanity’s
political problem: The people must insist
on being ruled by the best, rather than the
worst.

This is the political lesson of Christianity.
Jesus, the prophet, the real “King of the
Jews,” was the one worthy of attention
and obedience. The corrupt religious and
political authorities were (as they always
have been) worthless scum. According to
Je sus, it was time to imple ment “The
Kingdom of Heaven”: rule by the good,
rule by the godly, rule by those closest to
God… ultimately, rule by God alone.
Two forces at work
This is also the political lesson of the
birth of Is lam. Mecca had be come a
complex society, and corrupt lovers of
power and wealth – the Quraysh – reigned.
Another prophet – Muhammad – appeared,
with the Qur’an as a “furqan” or criterion
dividing good from evil. After more than a
decade of ruthless persecution, the forces
of the good took up arms and vanquished
the forces of evil… temporarily.
Within a few generations, Qurayshi
greed-heads had re-established their misrule.
This story, told beau ti fully in Barnaby
Rogerson’s The Heirs of the Prophet,
War is peace
By Mark Weber
Theodore N. Kaufman, the author of
Germany Must Perish, was a Manhattanborn Jewish businessman who was also
chairman of a group that called itself the
“American Federation for Peace.” The first
edition of this slim volume was published in
1940 or early 1941. A second, 96-page edition,
which sold for 25 cents, was published in
1941 by Argyle Press of Newark, New Jersey.
Both editions were issued when the United
States was still officially neutral, that is,
before the Pearl Harbor attack of December
7, 1941, that brought the U. S. openly into
World War II. Kaufman’s fervent proposal
for the systematic sterilization of the entire
German population was given respectful
attention in the American press, including
reviews in a number of newspapers. A review
in the weekly Time magazine, March 24, 1941,
called Kaufman’s plan a “sensational idea.”
reveals something that most Muslims have
never adequately understood: The Shi’a
may have been wrong about details, but
they were right about the central issue.
The split between Sunni and Shia was
ostensibly over the question of who should
have succeeded the Prophet Muhammad as
leader of the Muslim community. The Sunni
argued for leadership by consensus, and
se lected Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman
be fore Ali, while the Shia argued for
inherited succession and claimed Ali should
have been the rightful successor in the first
place.
In fact, both were right – and wrong.
The Sunni were right: Goodness is not
inherited. But they were wrong in their
choice of leaders; they chose the worldly
and the pop u lar, rather than the most
righteous and spiritually-advanced.
The Shia were wrong: Goodness is not
in her ited. But they were right in their
insistence that Ali was the best, and should
have been chosen as leader. And they were
right that the martyrdom of Ali’s son
Hussain at Karbala was an epic tragedy that
marked the end of rule-by-the-righteous,
and the reinstatement of Quraishi rule-bythe-evil.
To day, the Is lamic Re pub lic of Iran
carries on, however imperfectly, the Islamic
(and universally human) ideal of rule by
the righteous and spiritually-advanced.
President Ahmadinejad is said to have no
interest in worldly wealth; he even sleeps
on the floor. And those chosen as Supreme
Leader by their fellow religious scholars
are likely to be individuals of notable piety,
to say the least.
Yes, there is terrible corruption in Iran,
as everywhere. And yes, sometimes the
good has to be ruthless in suppression of
evil, especially when it is surrounded by
im mense pow ers of evil that seek to
con sume it and es tab lish a one-world
Satanic dictatorship over the planet.

Libya one year later and what have we got?
By Patrick Martin
A
uruknet.info
report from Amnesty International
details widespread torture in the prisons
and makeshift detention facilities in Libya,
under the regime established by the U. S.NATO war that overthrew and murdered
Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. In at least 12
cases, prisoners were tortured to death, the
group found.
Amnesty delegates interviewed detainees
and torture victims throughout January and
early February, with the details released
February 15.
Spreading “democracy”?
The savage practices documented by
Amnesty investigators include beatings
with whips, cables, metal chains and
wooden sticks, electric shocks, extraction
of fingernails, and rape. Militia fighters
conducted these attacks brazenly, in some
cases continuing to abuse prisoners while
human rights advocates were present.
According to the Amnesty report, the
National Transitional Council, installed by
the imperialist powers, has not conducted a
single investigation into the torture and
abuse of prisoners, and the militias have
uncontested authority to do as they please.
No one has been arrested or prosecuted for
war crimes except those who were on the
losing side in the civil war, fighting for the
ousted regime of Gaddafi.
The report declares, “The failure of the
authorities to even begin to investigate
with a view to bringing to justice former
anti-Gaddafi fighters responsible for war
crimes during the conflict and human
rights abuses has perpetuated the climate
of impunity for such crimes.”
The report makes clear the motivation
for the violent repression: “Militias took
captive thousands of suspected al-Gaddafi
loy al ists, sol diers and al leged for eign
‘mercenaries,’ many of whom were tortured
or ill-treated in custody, in some cases
lead ing to death. Scores of sus pected
al-Gaddafi loyalists were unlawfully killed
following capture, among them the ousted
Libyan leader himself and one of his sons.
Militias also looted and burned homes and
carried out revenge attacks against alleged
al-Gaddafi supporters, forcibly displacing
tens of thousands of people.”
Since the overthrow of Gaddafi, the
militias con tinue to operate without any
restraint, seizing people and holding them
in secret detention centers, “without trial or
any means to challenge the legality of their
detention.” Detainees were not given access
to lawyers and in most cases the “judicial”
authority was actually the prosecution.
Amnesty delegates interviewed scores
of torture victims who had been imprisoned
in Tripoli, Benghazi, al-Zawiya, Gharyan,
Misrata and Sirte, as well as families of those
who died in custody after being tortured.
Visible wounds and injuries, as well as
medical reports, confirmed the testimony
about torture. In many cases, victims were
too afraid to tell their stories even when
they showed their wounds.
Exporting Guantanamo
Some 2,400 detainees are acknowledged
at prisons controlled by the NTC, but many
thousands more are held by the official
Libyan military and by police and militia
units operating entirely outside of any legal
structure. Arrests continue unabated, despite
a series of reports since the beginning of
this year by Doctors With out Bor ders,
Human Rights Watch and now Amnesty.
This well-documented brutality and
murder is grounds for indicting on war
crimes charges not only the NTC leaders
but their imperialist masters – President
Obama, Brit ish Prime Min is ter David
Cameron, French President Nicolas Sarkozy
and the rest of the NATO gangsters who
bombed Libya mercilessly for eight months
and armed and organized the “rebel” forces
under the leadership of mercenaries and
agents of the right-wing oil sheikdoms of
the Persian Gulf.
Media-approved tyranny
It also exposes the criminal character of
support for the U. S.-NATO intervention in
Libya by middle-class “left” organizations
in the United States and Eu rope, who
en thu si as ti cally embraced the “hu man
rights” pre text offered by the Obama
administration and its NATO partners.
These political charlatans claimed that
only an intervention by the Western powers
could prevent an imminent bloodbath in
Benghazi. They glossed over the real
motive for the war: Libya’s vast oil wealth,
now being handed over to the major oil
companies. And they are now silent over
the mounting toll of death, torture and
wrongful imprisonment being meted out
by a regime established by the imperialist
“liberators.”
The chapter headings in the Amnesty
report suggest the scope of the repression:
Detentions Outside Legal Framework;
Torture and Other Ill-Treatment; Deaths in
Custody; Revenge Attacks and Forcible
Dis placement; Con tin u ing Scourge of
Impu nity.
The bulk of the report consists of grisly
eyewitness testimony from torture victims,
who are given letter designations rather
than named, in order to protect them
against likely retaliation from the militias.
A few examples suffice:
A 29-year-old former soldier:
“… they forced me to lie on my back on
a bed and my hands and legs were tied to
the frame. In this position I was beaten
with fists on my face. Then they beat me
with a plastic hose on my feet. Later, I had
to turn around face-down and was tied
again to the bed. In that position, I was
beaten again with a hose on my back and
on the head. I was also subjected to electric
shocks to various parts of my body including my left arm and chest. The instrument
they used was a black stick about 50 cm
long. My cousin was also sub jected to
electric shocks.”
A 25-year-old computer programmer
from a family identified as pro-Gaddafi:
“They started beating me on the way to
the detention center. They also used swear
words. At the detention center I was suspended from the iron bars of a gate and was
beaten with a stick and a cable. This lasted
for some hours. Afterwards I was taken to
another room for interrogation where they
gave me electric shocks. They tied my legs
while I was lying on the floor on my back.
Two live wires were connected to the toes
of my feet. I believe they used the electric
current from the socket. They gave me
electric shocks six or seven times. Then I
was taken to a separate room where I
stayed for three days.”
American-imposed sadism
A 26-year-old cigarette seller, detained
in Sirte, Gaddafi’s home town, and then
taken to Misrata for interrogation:
“One person took a glass bottle and hit
my head. Then they forced me to sit on the
floor and tied my hands to the back. They
kicked my head. They beat me all over my
body with a hose, with a wooden stick and
with a cable used for cars. They wanted
information about people I do not know.”

From Page 35: “In the preceding chapter
we saw what the Jews think of the Founder
of the Christian religion, and how much
they despise his name. This being so, it
would not be expected that they would
have any better opinion about those who
follow Jesus the Nazarene. In fact, nothing
more abominable can be imagined than
what they have to say about Christians.
They say that they are idolaters, the worst
kind of people, much worse that the Turks,
murderers, fornicators, impure animals,
like dirt, unworthy to be called men, beasts
in human form, worthy of the name of
beasts, cows, asses, pigs, dogs, worse than
dogs; that they propagate after the manner
of beasts, that they have a diabolic origin,
that their souls come from the devil and
return to the devil in hell after death; and
that even the body of a dead Christian is
nothing different from that of an animal.”
From Page 38… “In Midrasch Talpioth
(fol. 225d) it says: ‘God created them in the
form of men for the glory of Israel. But
Akum (Christians) were created for the sole
end of ministering unto them (the Jews) day
and night. Nor can they ever be relieved
from this service. It is becoming to the son
of a king (an Israelite) that animals in their
natural form, and animals in the form of
human beings should minister unto him.”
From Page 41: “Nor must Christians be
avoided for seven days after they have
bur ied someone, as the law of Mo ses
commands, since they are not men; for the
burial of an animal does not pollute one.”
According to the various sources translated by Reverend Pranaitis, Christians are
Chutzpah, thy name is Silverstein!
I
f you thought Andrew “assassinate
Obama for Israel” Adler was the last word
in chutzpah...think again. This Jew wants
more billions for destroying the WTC! Larry
“blow up the World Trade Center for Israel”
Silverstein is light years beyond Adler.
Larry Silverstein, you may recall, is a
reputed mobster who allegedly got his start
in the sex services business and then oozed
into real estate. Two months before 9/11,
Silverstein finalized his 100-year-lease on
the white elephant, condemned-for-asbestos
World Trade Center complex and proceeded
to double the insurance, hardballing insurers
into changing the policy to “cash payout.”
On 9/11/01, Silverstein skipped his
usual breakfast at the top of the North
Tower. He says his wife reminded him of
an appointment with his dermatologist.
Other family members also stayed away,
with other excuses. All who breakfasted
there died. Silverstein and family survived.
After confessing on national television
to blowing up World Trade Center 7,
Silverstein went to court, asked for – and
received – double indemnity, including
almost a billion dollars for WTC-7 – the
very building he had confessed to blowing
up. Larry had the chutzpah to claim there
were two separate, unrelated terrorist attacks
(the two planes) so he should get twice the
money. Somehow that worked, presumably
thanks to a mobbed-up judge. “Lucky
Larry” walked away with more than five
billion dollars, plus rights to rebuild.
Insatiable appetite
But that wasn’t enough chutzpah for
Larry. For the past several years he’s been
back in court, asking for 11 billion dollars
from the airlines’ insurers. Now Silverstein
has somehow convinced AMR, the parent
company of American Airlines, to give him
a special dispensation. Even though AMR
“COUNTERING OFFICIAL Zionist
historiography, Sand questions whether
the Jew ish Peo ple ever ex isted as a
national group with a common origin in
the Land of Israel/Palestine. He concludes
that the Jews should be seen as a religious
community comprising a mishmash of
in di vid u als and groups that had
converted to the ancient monotheistic
religion but do not have any historical
right to establish an independent Jewish
State in the Holy Land. In short, the
Jewish People, according to Sand, are not
really a “peo ple” in the sense of having
a common ethnic origin and national
heritage. They certainly do not have a
political claim over the territory that
today constitutes Israel and the occupied

Reverend Pranaitis: “What Christians

about it, by which the supreme rulers in
Church and State proscribed it many times
and condemned this sacred Secondary Law

for prying into Jewish laws; order a copy of
The Talmud Unmasked. This book should
be force-fed to those geese following in the

as Dr. John Hagee.
It just might give that gaggle stiffened

has filed bankruptcy, which theoretically
should stop all law suits against it, the
company’s attorneys have – for unstated
reasons – chosen to insert a special rider
into their bankruptcy agreement allowing
Silverstein to continue suing the company.
According to the Wall Street Journal:
“Silverstein’s company, which leased the
Twin Towers and two other World Trade
Center buildings from the Port Authority
of New York and New Jersey, is seeking
billions of dollars in damages for alleged
negligence by the airline, according to the
lawsuit. It is also seeking compensation for
the lost rental income; the developer had
signed 99-year leases for the space just two
months before the attack.”
Lost rental income?! Larry, those Towers
were condemned for asbestos! Not only
that, they had a very high vacancy rate and
antiquated communications infrastructure.
New York City had desperately sought a
way to demolish the Towers for at least a
decade, but could not do so because of the
asbestos. The WTC complex, a gigantic
money-loser for the City, would quickly
have bankrupted any private owner...had
not a certain act of urban renewal by other
means taken place on 9/11/01.
The o-so-friendly media
As if all that isn’t enough chutzpah, get
this: Silverstein used his 9/11 insurance
fraud money to buy Chicago’s Sears Tower!
How could Lucky Larry possibly top all of
his previous acts of over-the-top chutzpah?
Simple: He could blow up the Sears
Tower, brag about it on national TV and
collect still more double-digit billions in
insurance money on the premise that it was
somehow the fault of the Muslims.
After all, Lucky Larry is on a winning
streak.
Will he roll the dice one more time?

In my defense I made it clear that AN does
not under any circumstances allow inmates
membership. Recruit is what the U. S. Army
does. They had earlier disciplined me for
introducing another prisoner to the Church
of Jesus Christ. Can you imagine that being
a punishable offense? The official website

This newspaper, too, has difficulties
keeping up with where they’ve relocated
many inmate subscribers at any given
moment; they’re completely loyal to the
New World Order; anytime a White like
Tony DuPree protests being caged with
animals, they transfer him to where he’s
the only one of his kind in the place. The
fedstooges ambushed tax protester and
separatist Gordon Kahl at a roadblock
outside Medina, North Dakota, in 1983
and later murdered him in cold blood –
rather than allow the public to hear his

In keeping with your recent articles

song performed on Saturday Night Live by
Frank Zappa 35 years ago. Paraphrasing:
“I’m the slime / I am gross and perverted
/ I’m obsessed and deranged / I have existed
for years / But very little has changed.
“I’m a tool of the gov ern ment / And
industry too / I am destined to rule / And to
regulate you.
“I am vile and pernicious / But you can’t
look away / I make you think I’m delicious
/ With the things that I say.
“(Line forgotten) / Have you guessed
me yet? / I’m the slime oozing out / Of your
TV set.”

ROTTEN PRESIDENTIAL TIMBRE
Only those who put Israel first over
America, promise to fight perpetual wars
in the Middle East for Israel, flood Israel
with billions in foreign aid and armaments
and endorse Israel’s cruel suppression of
Palestinian rights, can be elected to high
office. The Jews also demand of Republican
contenders liberal philosophies that pose
as “conservative” while buying into Big
Government and Fed policies. They frown
upon the U. S. Constitution.
So the candidates are for that artificial
American creation called “Israel,” would
move the U. S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to
Jerusalem; increase U. S. aid to Israel;
bomb Iran for Israel; convert the Golan
Heights of Syria and illegal settlements in
the West Bank into parts of Israel.
These candidates say the United States
is a “Judeo-Christian” nation. False! That’s
an oxymoron, opposites linked together to
confuse; in this case religions, one believing
in Christ, the other Anti-Christ.
Gingrich claims the Palestinians have
no right to Palestine and are an invented
people. Just the opposite. The so-called
Jews of today are not those of the Bible,
nor a Semitic people. Their ancestors are
the Khazars who migrated from southern
Russia.

TARRIFFS NEEDED
There is only one proposition that can
save the U. S. econ omy at this time. To
restore our industry and agriculture, we
must impose a heavy import tax on all
products coming into our country. That
revenue made our country great for 200
years. Forget about free trade, a false
religion which has destroyed employment
and the hous ing in dus try. Abolish the
Federal Reserve, the income tax, get out of
the U. N. and bring our troops home.
I told this to my U. S. representative,
and he told me: “God bless you.”

I’m in your debt for the Henry Ford series
of articles from his paper, the Dearborn
Independent, 1921. I read his words with
my mouth agape. He spelled it out for the
world but the people ignored the danger,
did nothing to protect themselves nor stop
the Jew from taking complete control of
their country. Gentile America has not
changed one bit; as their blindness and
cowardice was inexcusable in 1921, so is it
today. The information is out there thanks
to the internet and The First Freedom.

— Self-government begins at home —
The longer view is shared by few
By Olaf Childress
[email protected]
Most people do what’s expected of them
and so are easily managed, like a corporate
chicken farm’s Grade A Large egg layers.
Some will say that’s
stretching it, but the
well-fed hen or slave
fulfilling an assigned
role has a good life.
What could be more
natural than this urge
to accept one’s given
place and cheerfully
perform the job that
Massa dictates?
If you’re hoping for anything more from
life, think sacrifice early on. Rather than let
various hoots consume all earnings as they
arrive, invest each tenth part in the future.
A truly self-governed person maturing into
the world pays no rent beyond six months
upon becoming profitably employed, and
deals almost exclusively with his own type
of people whom he understands and trusts.
Two opposing forces are always, even at
the smallest awareness levels, battling for a
rung up on one another. Each of us is but a
pawn between them. While bottom-ranked
grunts get conditioned to follow orders, the
“decision-making” higher-ups find they’re
also hardly at liberty to make a difference.
From what?
The default mode
By pledging unreserved allegiance to
any party or movement when holding back
nothing, we waive our God-given heritage.
Jingoism – “My country, right or wrong” –
is a bit much, as the Roman republic finally
discovered after electing one “temporary”
dictator too many.
Let’s invoke that which supercedes our
own judgment, to secure first the survival
of what’s closest; and care less for distant
cousins or the remote, law-shuffling State.
It’s called Divine Guidance.
Well, yes, but some government, of this
kind or that, will always be. If the senate
couldn’t maintain order, wasn’t it time for
an emperor?
The record shows that not even the most
conscientious of such magnates exercised
more authority than bluff. They, too, lifted
themselves among the heavenly stars only
nominally. Who then? No, what.
Force rules at two poles; one, attractive
of all that is good and repulsive to the evil
from which every self-governed individual
draws apart – the other opposite, but by no
means lacking allurements. Nearest those
pivotal extremes, some few actually call
the shots, such ones as many an indecisive
soul must count on to learn his fate. It’s the
default mode, an election of sorts whether
by choice or decree. Force compels an evil
George W. Bush to put it bluntly, “You’re
either with or against us,” and discourages
even those working the strings that move
his lips from assuming they enjoy absolute
control over him. So we get megalomania’s
eternal reaching.
Because it is thus, we’ll not worry too
much about our small numbers relative to
the masses, but proceed toward recovering
sufficient media and spelling the truth out.
We must pray for their emancipation not
only from blind obedience or anarchy on

one hand, but self-indulgence at another
extreme. That happiness chased by many,
though few let it catch up, Horace calls the
golden mean. Amid any storm or battle’s
fury, a pacified soul knows neither anger,
fear, hate nor regret when facing whatever
situation. He’s inwardly at peace.
Awakening to reality
Every challenge God visits upon us is an
opportunity for honing the rising worths of
all competing arguments. Ours is that we
cannot accept a so-called corporate shield
from behind which Dubya and the Kenyan
commit Massa’s war crimes with impunity.
Following the Nuremberg precedents, they
and their controllers must hang.
In fact, it’s about time we did away with
a corporation’s limited liability altogether.
Today’s treatises on artificial intelligence
inveigh against possible robotic takeovers
a mite late; flesh-and-blood humans have
gone that route for centuries. Businessmen
obtain a State-sanctioned charter for some
new venture requiring investor capital and
set up shop; partners then buy a controlling
interest in that generic company in order to
eventually loot its assets and dump their
shares on unsuspecting newcomers. It’s the
same Ponzi scheme whether you’re talking
about a corporate farm or the government.
We demand personal accountability.
All of these Dubyans and Africans, once
understanding themselves actually bound
within the U. S. Constitution’s enumerated
powers and not free to just perfunctorily
mouth their oaths of office, would fear that
job and stick with the devils they know; an
unlikely development, so where does that
leave us now?
Most of our people aren’t ready for the
pole reversal that’s coming; but it’s end of
the line! Rome reached that terminus after
having overrun all the known world before
finding herself invaded. There is nothing
new under the sun.
The Marines are looking for a few good,
programable Aryans these days who, like
coops of proud fighting gamecocks, would
attack even defenseless civilians if ordered
to do so. The more decisive souls, having
increased their intellectual and physical
maneuverability by ten percent right from
the first, remain well-armed against what’s
overdue. America was great because, said
de Toqueville, “she is good.” That started
changing when the Jews auctioned captive
Africans, quickening with their subversion
of the money, media and government, then
went ballistic when they raised the rent on
typical media flunkies, requiring them to
absurdly blame the buyers of such chattel;
which explains why these united States are
laying an egg a day for “our” “temporary”
expeditionary holotoastings to “end wars”
and “spread democracy.”
The verdict
We are foreclosing on those foreclosers.
Rome still lives in all her splendor; only the
Empire and its Caesars have stopped doing
business while brandishing a sword in the
whole world’s face. Today the District of
Corruption’s legions are vacating outposts
one after another. And, even if our Statue
of Liberty should get the Saddam Hussein
treatment, that still leaves untainted such
American endowments as steam power, an
everyman’s T-Model Ford, the cotton gin,
telegraph, incandescent light, telephone,
radio, airplane, electronic computer, laser
beam and space travel, to touch in passing
only a few things our Aryan brothers gave
the world before their beneficiaries began
promoting this “dream” that anyone could
soar like an Eagle Scout without the blood,
sweat and tears our valiant sires sacrificed
for all those achievements. In attempting to
create talent like fiat currency, simply by
printing diplomas, we get such “doctors”
and “scientists” as turned higher education
into lunacy and crashed the manned space
program’s plans for colonizing the moon
on our way to the planets. Accommodating
“minority” racial quotas serves neither our
interests nor theirs. Russian Premier Nikita
Khrushchev, perhaps intuiting already the
coming collapse of that ill-devised Soviet
experiment, said it best: “You can’t make a
silk purse out of a sow’s ear.”
Then there’s this even greater legacy of
Christian morality, unfortunately spurned
today by many, as is the U. S. Constitution
along with our Founders’ warnings, though
all of these will, like America’s majestic
hills and plains, remain for countless ages
after the necromancers and Neo-cons have
snuffed out their brief candles.
Between these irreconcilable forces, on
one hand Russia’s “Soviet Republics” and
their seventy-five-year failures, elsewhere
our American Boy Scouts acknowledging
one’s duty as, “Be prepared; others aren’t
obligated by your indecisiveness,” peoples
worldwide wait to be “liberated” from the
results of an indoctrinated superstition that
has them in thrall: something-for-nothing
communism.
Things never get boring. Both formerlyJewish-financed parties wanting “change”
from Czarist imperialism – the Bolsheviks
(“majority”) and Mensheviks (“minority”)
– kept the campaigning masses who had no
idea what was behind their “spontaneous”
revolution chasing and killing one another
until too exhausted to get out from under
all of those five-year Reconstruction plans
that were hardening the boot heel pressed
on their necks. Alabama knows its feel.
The Jewish mediacracy, mother of many
unprepared starts toward the Jurassic Age
without learning a thing, self-hypnotizes
its adolescent brain into ever-new dreams.
If the headstart program didn’t discover
any Negro scientists, at least it sent White
pride to the hintermost bus seats, a great
leap for egalitariankind!
We are NOT the world
Agitating here are two equally-balanced
coinages, a currency backed by clichés and
those “federal” “reserve” notes purchasing
sufficient media to determine the popular
mindset. Rather than discuss how stateless
banksters bought Congress or ridicule this
oxymoronic new “Judeo-Christian” shtick,
let’s review instead the endearingly absurd
idea of America as a “proposition nation.”
Certainly our people have put forward
more benefits to the world than all other
races combined. But such verbs of action
do not legitimize the lamestream media’s
turning those heroic achievements into an
adjective that somehow licenses its writers
to first propose where Jewish Massa would
take it from here and then dictate that path.
Many an armchair warrior never having
faced the horrors of what he’s advocating
sits impatiently ready to drone-bomb every
Mideast nation into a Jewish vassal State.
How we got where we are
Propaganda financed on both sides of
the oceans by that tribe during seventy-five
years of contrived Cold War had us fearing
the Russians and themselves quarantined
behind an iron curtain to ward off Western
contamination. So who comes out as the
most bamboozled people in today’s world?
Let’s see, Israel is the “only democracy” in
the Middle East, right? And every other
State that once held America an exemplar
of human progress now hates “our” federal
government’s troglodytical bloodletting,
as weaker States attempt to free themselves
from a shrinking U. S. dollar’s dominance
that’s taking their currencies down with it
in this polar reversal. When Moscow beat
all her neighbors into submission not long
ago with an iron fist, we were the good
guys. Now an ex-KGB secret police chief,
having incarcerated or exiled most of the
once-powerful Jewish criminal oligarchs,
rules the Russian roost with a velvet glove
while those same expatriates relocate their
profitable warmongering conspiracy here.
My proposition is that we boycott these
phony debates, “elections,” the fraudulent
Fourteenth Amendment et seq – this whole
failed “experiment” that today’s would-be
rulers conjure up as their Project for a New
American Century of War on Everything.
Let’s order Alabama’s misrepresentatives
to pick up their marbles and come home,
for the real argument is between that evil
spreading from the District of Corruption
assisted by its corporate satellites, and such
sovereignty as girds itself with merit alone.
In other words, because the principle for
which we stand will automatically reassert
itself fully upon our recovering the media
along with debt-free money, this problem
is not one of crushing evil out of existence
– an impossibility, as every adult carries its
germ – but rather that vigilance required of
us when distancing such vulgarity from the
children.
A self-governed individual must assess
what he’s facing, in this case indestructible
error; study the motives of its adherents
coolly, pray for the courage and guidance
they lack, take the longer view and move
against their shortcomings for the duration
of this age’s struggle. We can sustain.
