Petrodollar Warfare

 

December 28, 2005

A preemptive attack on Iran would "provoke other industrial nations to strategically abandon the dollar en masse"… "in an effort to thwart the neoconservatives from pursuing their desperate strategy of dominating the world’s hydrocarbon energy supply." William R. Clark "Petrodollar Warfare; Dollars, Euros and the upcoming Iranian Oil Bourse"

The Federal Reserve is the financial headquarters for the cartel of multinational banking establishments. The confederation of banks in the Fed underwrites the exploitative activities of the world’s main industries and sets rates in a manner that best serves their objectives. This is how the bankers perpetuate the system of economic hegemony and apply the shackle of debt and dependence to the planet’s most destitute countries. The Federal Reserve is every bit as critical to the maintenance of the empire as its political counterparts in Washington or its blood-brothers in the US Military. It is the largest of the empire’s three gears; economic, political and military, which mobilize the might wheel of state terror.

If we look carefully at the Iraq war, the main financial institutions stood squarely behind the hostilities and did their best to create a hospitable economic environment for aggression. The Federal Reserve dropped the prime rate to a paltry 1.5% just 6 months before the Iraq invasion to keep the American economy purring along while Bush dragged the nation to war. The bloody footprints for Iraq lead straight to the oak-panel doors of America’s primary lenders even before they trail off to the bastions of America’s energy giants.

There’s a reason for this. The main impetus for the war was not petroleum, but greenbacks and the future of a currency that is underwritten by $8 trillion of debt. The only way to safeguard its dominance is to back up the listing dollar with boatloads of oil. And, that is exactly the plan.

The Capital of Empire

America’s capital is not in Washington DC. In fact, it is not geographic location at all. It is the greenback, the epicenter of the global rule. The dollar is the cornerstone upon which the mighty pillars of empire rest. At the same time, the greenback is the greatest hoax in human history; a worthless scrap of paper buried beneath a mountain of debt. It is only through the skillful mix of politics, diplomacy, and brute force that the grand deception is maintained. As America’s fortunes grow more tenuous, the probability of attacks on the dollar will increase exponentially. Even now, nations are conspiring to knock the dollar from its lofty perch and introduce a more equitable system.

At present, the greenback serves as the world’s reserve currency, the main medium of exchange. This allows the US to stack up enormous debt while avoiding the pitfalls of skyrocketing interest rates or hyper-inflation. The $2 billion of borrowed wealth that props up the faltering empire every day comes primarily from the economic powerhouses Japan and China. This means that America’s profligate spending is financed by the labor of some of the most poorly paid workers in the world.

Ironically, the massive trade deficit suggests that sweatshop workers in Kwantung Province are now bankrolled by the criminal occupation of Iraq.

Every greenback carries with it the accumulated weight of two centuries of war, slavery, and ethnic cleansing of Native Americans. It is the flaccid script that has fueled 50 years of covert activities, coup d’etats, and third-world death-squads. It churns through the arteries of the empire to the furthest most extremities where torture and abuse are carried out beneath the tri-colored standard. It is strewn across the empire like the myriad gulags that now speckle the planet. It is the heart of the beast; a venom-pumping organ with arteries strung across the globe like the concertina-wire that surrounds Falluja, Samarra and Tal Afar.

Eventually the stately images of Lincoln and Washington will be stripped from the currency; replaced with the looming specter of Guantanamo’s gun towers or the iconic figure of an Abu Ghraib prisoner, hooded in sackcloth, arms outstretched in Christ-like submission, wires draped from his hands and feet. These are the freshly minted symbols of the new realm, the republic of terror.

As the empire extends its withering grip to the world’s last resource-centers, the dollar is coming under increasing scrutiny. It is the dollar that facilitates the perennial war and the vast expansion of military force; just as it is the dollar that binds together the constellation of American colonies that function exclusively in the interests of their Washington overlords. The asymmetrical warfare that is approaching will put the greenback squarely in the crosshairs; the weal-link in America’s coat of mail.

Hugo Chavez knows this, as did Saddam; that’s why he switched to the euro 6 months before "Shock and Awe". Now, Putin is trading oil in euros and Iran will open an oil bourse in petro-euros in March. For Iran, its actions are tantamount to a declaration of war. Already, America’s proxy Israel has threatened to attack in March. Is it mere coincidence that that is the same month Iran’s oil bourse is scheduled to open?

Of course, not. The empire requires a steady diet of petrodollars to maintain its gluttonous appetite for debt. If the oil-producing nations switch to euros, the dollar would freefall like a wingless gull and America would be trapped in a bottomless vat of red ink.

America’s prodigious dept has made the war for the world’s dwindling resources an existential struggle that makes a retreat from Iraq impossible. If America’s debt is not propped up with oil the anemic dollar would crumble and the American economy would shatter like glass.

In William R. Clark’s "Petrodollar Warfare; Dollars, Euros and the upcoming Iranian Oil Bourse", Clark outlines the problems the dollar faces if Iran proceeds with its plan to use a euro-based oil trading exchange. The new Iranian bourse would compete head-on with the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) and London’s International Petroleum Exchange IPE) giving international buyers an option of "buying a barrel of oil $60 on the NYMEX or IPE or 45 to 50 euros via the Iranian bourse." Clark calls this the Federal Reserves "biggest nightmare" as it would precipitate a face-off between the dollar and euro and fundamentally change the dynamics in the world’s largest market.

"In essence, the US will no longer be able to effortlessly expand credit via US Treasury Bills, and the dollars demand-liquidity will quickly fall." This will "challenge the hegemony currently enjoyed by the financial centers in both London and New York."

In other words; doomsday.

Clark also notes that "both Russia and China significantly increased their central bank holdings of the euro, which appears to be a coordinated move to facilitate the anticipated ascendance of the euro as a second world reserve currency." This would effectively end the petrodollars hegemony as the "monopoly oil currency".

The world is preparing for a seismic shift in the global power-structure, but Washington believes it can forestall the change through military force.

This threat of the nascent Iranian oil-exchange greatly increases the likelihood of a unilateral attack by the US. Clark anticipates that this may "provoke other industrial nations to strategically abandon the dollar en masse"…"While central bankers throughout the world community would be extremely reluctant to 'dump the dollar’"… "They would likely move in tandem on the currency exchange markets in an effort to thwart the neoconservatives from pursuing their desperate strategy of dominating the world’s hydrocarbon energy supply."

Some variant of Clark’s scenario will undoubtedly transpire pending an American attack on Iran. The world will not confront the empire militarily, but neither will they stand idly by while vital oil resources are put at risk. A coordinated assault on the dollar is an extreme, but probable consequence.

The vulnerability of the dollar, skittering atop an ocean of red ink, has become the Achilles heel of the empire. Washington may believe that its weakness is well-concealed behind a wall of high-tech weaponry and media propaganda, but potential adversaries will certainly know where to strike if they are forced to respond.

America’s future has grown increasingly uncertain because of the reckless militarism of its leaders. An attack on Iran is certain to incite an asymmetrical war that will target the greenback; dislodging it from its lofty perch.

When the dollar collapses, the baling-wire of economic coercion that keeps the empire sewn together will quickly unravel.

Selling Out - $1.3 Trillion of American Companies Sold to Foreign Corps

 

The following staggering amount of our wealth producing companies has been sold to foreign owners in the 10 years from 1995 through 2005. Below is a partial list of the 8,600 U.S. companies sold.

It is critical to understand that even if these are not all familiar corporate names, they are all very valuable strategic companies with vast amounts of technology, assets, production facilities, tax base, and employment attached to each one. In fact, many of the smallest, most unfamiliar acquisitions represent some of the most significant strategic and proprietary technology losses to this country. Many of these companies took decades, and in some cases generations, to build to their size and scope prior to acquisition. Not only does the US lose control of the assets and technologies of these companies as of the date they were acquired, the US also loses all future profit and title to all future advancements of these companies.

These companies were the means through which America created much of its present wealth. With the loss of these companies and having no comparable replacement, it's easy to see that our future will not be as good as our past, especially since the countries that acquired these companies are now able to compete with us in almost all industries. Why are we doing this? Don't we have alternatives? Who is responsible, demand answers from your congressperson.

The following table lists only a few of the 8,600 foreign acquisitions during this period. The $1.3 Trillion figure and complete list can be verified at the US Bureau of Economic Analysis.

Global Spook Monolith Revealed

by
Kirt Nimmo

Dick Marty, a Swiss senator investigating Bush’s rape and torture gulag and macabre sadism flying circus, reveals what many of us have long suspected: the CIA had more than a little help from “national secret services” in Europe, thus making a case for the obvious—the CIA is but one of several components of a larger and more sinister global covert “intelligence” organization. However, key players and prime motivators in this sprawling murder, black op, and torture infrastructure consist of elements in the CIA, MI6, and Mossad (and Mossad should be considered European, not Middle Eastern, since Israel was created after the Polish rabbi Zevi Hirsch Kalischer proposed Baron Edmond de Rothschild create Erez Israel and British colonialism set the stage less than a hundred years later, paving the way for Ashkenazi Jews—that is to say, European Jews—to steal Arab land and create the outlaw state of Israel, now a full partner in the New World Order plot to turn the planet into a hellish plantation).

“I think it would have been difficult for these actions to have taken place without a degree of collaboration,” Marty told the Guardian. “But it is possible that secret services did not inform their governments,” in other words they didn’t inform the elected representatives of the people, as spook agencies invariably believe they are above the law (and are, thanks to black budgets and lack of accountability laws and regulations) and have nothing but contempt for the rule of law, as do their corporate and plutocratic taskmasters.

Citizens of nation-states (or rather corporate-states) exist primarily to be harvested by the global elite—for money or their lives, or both (as the actions of the intelligence monolith ultimately and by design lead to war, a profitable scam for the corporate plutocrats, especially in “defense” and related industries, a growth business requiring the lives of the young and easily manipulated—after sufficient televised and culture-based propaganda and twelve or so years of public education brainwashing, inculcating the masses with the appropriate “patriotic” icons and myths and drumming into them the self-destructive idea that it is noble to “die for one’s country,” in other words die with nary a bleat for the plutocratic elite, who of course never donate their kids to the “noble cause” of “defending democracy,” never mind this country was originally set up as a constitutionally limited republic predicated on a serious distrust of democracy, or mob rule, and government, ever the malleable device of tyranny and authoritarianism).

It is telling that Mr. Marty’s revelations implicate Poland and Romania, two former communist nations well-versed in police state tactics and undoubtedly populated with a sufficient number of knuckle-dragging thugs tutored in the in-and-outs of torture, rape, and humiliation. Moreover, the governments and left-over communist police state apparatus are more than likely eager to please the Bushcons, lest they secure their place in the New World Order constellation envisioned and engineered by neolib bankers and the perfidious neocons with their Straussian-Machiavellian orientation of total war and necrophilia dreams of mass murder and conquest. Of course, the people of these two wanna-be countries, still suffering under the strain of the post-communist transformation (i.e., their treasure—or what was left of it after the pillage conducted over the span of decades by the communists—was hijacked and they were submerged for years in grinding poverty and misery), will be required to ante-up their remaining natural resources and labor to the blood-stained altar of the neolib-neocon vampires, sustenance-sucking ghouls traipsing around the globe under the rubric of “free trade” and “globalism,” rendering vast swaths of the planet into not only a slave plantation but a toxic graveyard poisoned with depleted uranium and other death-enhancing substances.

As for the “intelligence” super-monolith emerging—with its globe-trotting sadism and portable dungeons and torture chambers able to be transported from one authoritarian backwater to another on short notice—it is of course required since the global corporate elite understand well people naturally resist and torture fends off resistance, at least in the short term. It is said Bush—and by Bush I mean the people around him, since the man is a certified cretin—is “into” torture and there are allegedly S/M perverted soirees where the graphic material gleaned in small portion at Abu Ghraib is voraciously consumed with decadent relish. One look at the likes of Dick Cheney and Karl Rove—psychological mutations, even world-class sociopaths—and one may very well believe this, however the larger vision is far more pragmatic and utilitarian: to create a heretofore unknown terror state, a state mechanism to be feared and obeyed, lest one fall victim to rape and slow death by way of Black and Decker drill (as the Brits in Iraq tutored their students in proper usage).

It is a state not far removed from the one Orwell’s Winston Smith faced in Room 101 when O’Brien threatened the wayward protagonist with starving rats, for all of us—or those of us who speak and act out—must experience Smith’s “premonitory tremor” when faced with “something unendurable—something that cannot be contemplated,” as O’Brien instructed. For most of us—sane, compassionate, moral—cannot contemplate the depth and severity of Bush’s depraved rape and torture gulag, again as evinced by the horror show glimmer of Abu Ghraib, allowed and encouraged to enter the public consciousness (by design) and that of more gruesome coloration viewed by select government bureaucrats, the whore-representatives of the oligarchy, and only eluded to in suggestive and lurid news reports (thus allowing the popular imagination to kick into hyperdrive, fed by the stomach-churning glint of Abu Ghraib imagery).

Soon enough, the streets and alleyways of Iraq—teeming with black ops and death squads—will arrive in America. It is inevitable. Because the service of many faceless O’Briens—laboring patiently for the global corporate and plutocratic elite—will be required here in America. In fact, as the news reveals daily, the police expressly groom paramilitary thugs (straight back from Iraq and Afghanistan) and unleash them on the citizenry. It is no exaggeration to declare we are one terrorist event away from realizing the neolib-neocon police state here in America. And such events are increasingly the specialty of the global “intelligence” monolith hinted at by the revelations of Dick Marty. In fact, it is a monolith specifically designed by Nazi master builders (led by Reinhard Gehlen) for the very purpose of global terror.

What is a Neocon?

This email update was scheduled for January 7, 2006 but has been moved up so the information can get distributed over the Christmas holidays. Attached is something that all Americans need to know regarding the Neocons.

I am a firm believer that they “create visual images” well in advance of dastardly deeds, sort of a mental conditioning since Americans like entertainment so much and many even cheered at bombs falling on Iraq in both wars as if they were watching a college football game..

The first time I saw Armageddon (1998) I was sort of distracted in having my ex-wife, her two children, my son and 3 other “appendage teenagers” that might as well have been ours we fed and had them in our home so much. I recently watched Armageddon for the first time with no distractions and something jumped off the screen. I had missed the following while refereeing teenagers.

At 8:10 into the movie Armageddon the NYC cab driver says “we’re at war”.

At 8:16 into the movie the cab driver further states “Saddam Hussein is bombing us”.

At 8:56 into the movie a meteor hits WTC I, North Tower at about the same elevation that the WTC II South Tower was hit on 9-11-2001.

At 9:42 into the movie they show the image of WTC I (hit low instead of high) and WTC II – hit at about the exact height that WTC I was hit on 9-11-2001.

Robert Roy Pool and Jonathan Hensleigh wrote the story for Armageddon 1998 and Robert Roy Pool the story for Outbreak 1995.

An attack on the U.S. at the World Trade Centers in 1998 and a huge threat of a deadly virus and martial law (also written by Robert Roy Pool) in 1995. Sound familiar?

There is at least one person in France http://voxdei.org/afficher_info.php?id=4036.13 that saw the same irony that I did. Did Hollywood unwittingly predict terrorism involving WTC with such accuracy in 1998 or did someone else use this visual image to prepare us for 2001?

How about a complete change in U.S. policy towards Arabs and other Islamic people and out comes Kingdom of Heaven in 2005 (director Ridley Scott) glorifying Christian Crusade intervention in the Middle East?

Are these people clairvoyant or is someone creating visual imagery for coming policy, coming acts of terrorism? For the record, I do not think they are clairvoyant.

You need to remember that these Neocons think that they make reality and some of them have even publicly uttered that statement – “we make our own reality”. . Almost all media outlets in this Republic are owned by Neocons.

I am going to try to sort out some of the confusion that exists in this nation about how to define a Neocon and why you need to fully understand the meaning of the label and how that is detrimental to your future as an American citizen.

I have devoted much research to the matter and thought so I could fully understand the profound changes that are happening in our America and who or what is behind it. I could be partially or completely wrong in my assessment of the problem, but my gut instincts say that much of what I have to say on the matter is right on target.

On a daily basis, I hear from many people around the United States and they are making very similar comments, such as “RNC, DNC, what is the difference?”

Many Americans are beginning to clearly see that there is no difference in the two parties because they are both owned by the same special interests, wealthy elite and major corporations. You see, Americans do not supply nearly enough campaign contributions to sustain the type of major political battles that are going on and will have direct impact on this nation and your life depending who wins the battles of words and ideology. As the Latin phrase asks, qui bono, who benefits? The special interests, the wealthy elite and the major corporations benefit, you lose, and that is why Washington, DC has sold out your interests to those that would provide the money to drive the machine. They say that money is the root of all evil, and nothing exemplifies it better than our government and what is going on in our national capital.

In the last election, DNC got interested in my book One-Way Ticket to Crawford, Texas as they initially thought it was their ticket to get rid of Bush. When they read it and learned that I was outing the Democrats too they panicked, but before that happened I spoke with many of the major DNC contributors that arranged that $500 million for John Kerry to put on a show even more pathetic than Bob Dole did in 1996. It did not take long to ascertain that the Neocons are on both sides of the aisle nor did it take long to detect the AIPAC, JINSA and other Zionist groups blowing through money like George Bush does to fuel that race for the White House.

I have been calling the Neocons chameleons for years because of how well they blend into the surroundings so you cannot fathom who they are, what they believe or what they do that affects your life and mine.

The original Neocons were communist followers of Leon Trotsky, a Russian that was part of the Stalin regime and split with that leader when he entered into a non-aggression pact with Adolph Hitler, the Hitler – Lenin Pact. That now infamous agreement is actually known under five names as indicated below. Trotsky believed that this marriage of convenience between communism and fascism was an affront to the Lenin beliefs of “Perpetual Revolution” that created the communist group in the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. The original Neocons were also largely Jewish and turned on Russia during the transition from Lenin to Stalin when their political climate changed in Russia. In short, they were Lenin insiders that fell into disfavor under Stalin. There are plenty of historical records that the majority within the Lenin cabal, cabinet and high level government positions were Zionist Jews that took a liking to communism because they hated Czar Nicholas II.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi-Soviet_Pact

The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, also known as the Hitler-Stalin pact or Ribbentrop-Molotov pact or Nazi-Soviet pact and formally known as the Treaty of Nonaggression between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, was in theory a non-aggression treaty between the German Third Reich and the Soviet Union. It was signed in Moscow on August 23, 1939, by the Soviet foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov and the German foreign minister Joachim von Ribbentrop. The mutual non-aggression treaty lasted until Operation Barbarossa of June 22, 1941, when Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union.

Although officially labelled a "non-aggression treaty", the pact included a secret protocol, in which the independent countries of Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania were divided into spheres of interest of the parties. The secret protocol explicitly assumed "territorial and political rearrangements" in the areas of these countries, which practically rendered it into an aggressive military alliance, in spite of its official name. Subsequently all the mentioned countries were invaded by either the Soviets, the Nazis, or both. Only Finland, which fought twice against the Soviet Union in WWII, successfully resisted conquest, but was forced to concede territory.

The Russian Jews hated the Czar because he was not friendly to their cause and when the Bolsheviks appeared on the scene they were urgently in need of adherents and welcomed the Russian Jews with open arms. Lenin liked the Jews since they supported him and his revolution but Stalin changed that, so the Jewish intellectuals went with Trotsky. Leon Trotsky was assassinated while in exile from Russia.

German born philosopher Leo Strauss came to the United States in 1938 and envisioned a whole new way of pushing the Permanent Revolution of Bolshevism to an Americanized version of Permanent Conquests. His teachings at the University of Chicago wound up with proponents such as Paul Wolfowitz, Abram Shulsky, Joseph Cropsey, and many others in high places of our government. He viewed fascism as a necessary rejection of the Weimar Government. When I learned this I recalled Thomas Jefferson’s quote - Unlike those nations whose rulers use their country's resources to seek conquests, to carry on warring contests with one another, and consequently plunge their people into debt and devastation, free societies are organized for the happiness and prosperity of their people, and this is best pursued in a state of peace.

Neocons do not like free societies and limited government because that hinders their power.

It was when I came to two realizations in 1996 that I started divorcing myself from the RNC. First was inside firsthand knowledge that Newt Gingrich is a Neocon and his Contract with America was actually a Contract On America on behalf of the wealthy elite and major corporations that would benefit most from Gingrich-style ideology and policy changes put forth by the Republicans. Both he and Haley Barbour were likeminded on this subtle change to conservative values.

The second realization was that the RNC was slowly being taken over by communist and Socialist Democrats of America types that moved from the liberal DNC mindset to the ultraconservative anti-communist camp of Senator Henry “Scoop” Jackson, a die hard anti-communist who was suddenly fully supported by the Zionist Jewish communists that moved into this camp. You have to stop and consider that to truly appreciate the moment – the communists teamed up with the hardliner of all Democrat hardliners against communism. That was when the picture went fuzzy and it takes a tremendous amount of brain power and paying attention to details to follow what has transpired since that unholy marriage was consummated. From the Henry “Scoop” Jackson DNC conservative camp the Neocons then moved over to the RNC ultraconservative camp but they themselves did not convert to conservatism, they remained liberal communists.

The RNC did not recognize the Trojan Horse for a long time and though it was neat that so many Jews wanted to join ranks with the RNC since most Jews tend to vote Democratic. The RNC spent a considerable amount of time and money in coming up with a simple strategy to appeal to the 2 out of every 3 Americans who classify themselves as conservative. The bait was tax cuts (with borrowed money and skewing the budget and priority towards a War Society) and family values. Over time, the RNC purged itself of true conservatives and melded with the liberal communists who had joined their ranks.

Imagine that, Jewish intelligentsia and communists suddenly backing the hardliner anti communist Henry “Scoop” Jackson (Dem) and then moving in with the conservatives over at RNC. However, there was a method to their madness since communism does not sell well in America. That was just step one and it took me some time and research to figure out why the communists would make such a move. There had to be a reason and I was intent on finding out what that reason was. Those same communists were suddenly backing Newt Gingrich too and that was a question in my mind that deserved an answer.

I was in RNC headquarters many times a month between August 1989 and early 1995 and had close friends in high places that did not like this marriage of convenience between the Jewish communists and pure conservatives that were morphing into something else. As early as 1994 I was having serious conversations with the former Treasurer of RNC William J. McManus about the parties shift to fascism so America would not figure out that the Jewish communist were winning the influence battles over ideology and money. The back corridors of Team 100, the ultra-elite of RNC Finance, were suddenly populated with many Jewish names that had very close ties to Israel and were well known to be Zionist. People like Maurice “Hank” Greenberg, nicknamed “China’s Man in Washington” started funding conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation and its ideological message turned from conservative to Pro-Israel and Pro-China almost overnight. In fact, Rick Fisher, the resident hardliner on being anti-China was dismissed shortly after control of the purse strings was put into Maurice Greenberg’s hands. Mr. Fisher kept pointing out things regarding China that D.C. and Neocon types did not want Americans like you to know about.

As a pure conservative, this shift towards pro-China, pro-Israel, pro-fascism was not to my liking but for a while I did try to resist it before I gave up, like Patrick Buchanan did. Some people do not believe me when I tell them how close to this situation I was. It is a fact that on election night 1994 when the House and Senate were taken away from Clinton and Democratic control I was in Washington, DC at the table of the RNC Treasurer with several retired admirals, a couple of billionaires and even met Jean Kirkpatrick and the other elites of RNC Finance that were there. I thought it odd that none of the Jewish Neocons were there that night after having worked so hard and paid out so much money to get their way in Congress.

Now, who got duped in all of this confusion and chameleons changing colors right before our eyes - was you. If you are a Republican and you bought off on “lower taxes”, you probably did so without realizing that all they did was take less from you and increase the national debt by a like amount and cover it up in the numbers. Newt was the architect behind that cute ploy. Then they needed an additional message to deter the Progressive Neocons that were still aligned with the DNC. Even among the Neocons, there are rifts and we still have Progressive Liberal Communist Neocons and on the other side we have Liberal Fascist Neocons that are not conservative at all but have aligned with the conservatives due to the “2 out of every 3” demographic that has hammered the DNC in most of the elections over the past 11 years.

The other carrot was “family values” but let me explain what they really meant. I sat in on some of the meetings where this issue was discussed and strategy sessions held to find ways to make it marketable. While they were talking family values they were behind the scenes changing laws to be pro-corporate, pro-Israel, pro-China, pro-Mexican, pro-wealthy elite, and in almost all instances those changes meant bad news for you and your family. The resulting policies were devastating to you and your family, so “family values” in Neocon-speak is actually an oxymoron or two words that should not be used together. That is the simple explanation of why Neocon policies think nothing of shredding families here, sending people to war, even creating wars and crushing families in far away lands. They have no regard for family values..

If you are one of the many Americans who have had your standard of living decline over the past 12-15 years and wonder why, well, that is why. Their viewpoint of your family values and what is best for your family are non-existent. To a Neocon, those are mere words to get your vote but that is both sides of the aisle, not just the RNC.

If you are one of the many Americans who have had your job, or savings, investments, or retirement stolen, wiped out or upended during the same time they were preaching family values and lower taxes, well – you were one of the suckers they were relying on to keep voting them back into office until they could finish you off and take all you have. To a Neocon, job creation in Israel is more important than you having a job. They just want your vote; everything else is meaningless to a Neocon if it involves your well being. It is all about them and anything about you does not matter. Have you not noticed that over the past 16 to 17 years, D.C. is less responsive to its constituents with each passing year?

If you are one of the many Americans who feel like you have been plowed under during the last three presidential administrations, you have been and that is exactly what they and their wealthy elite buddies intended to happen. They know that as long as you fall for the tax cuts and family values ploy, they have suckered you and that is exactly what they intended to do all along.

Are you waking up yet and seeing the real picture? Are you getting angry yet that you were duped and duped big time? If you are a Progressive Democrat, DNC could not care less what you think, If you are a Conservative Republican RNC could not care less what you think.

The numbers have been clear since Reagan was elected that 2 out of every 3 Americans consider themselves to be conservative regardless of what party they vote in the elections. We now call that the “Red State – Blue State” phenomenon and it sure lets Wolf Blitzer put on a lot of drama on an election night, but the math has been that way since America became America. It was in understanding that and the grand strategy to take the House and Senate in 1994, a plan that I helped design and implement, that I began to understand why the Neocons turned from communism to fascism because they could sell their ideas under the cloak of fascism and could not under the brand label of communism.

When Russia collapsed, the Neocons then set their sights on the Middle East and completing the desires of Israel. With the “Russian threat” gone and no need to continue vast expenditures for defense spending, it was the Neocons that started calling for the United States to use its Super Power status to conquer the world so a new enemy was needed. Islam was picked out as the next boogeyman, for that would dovetail perfectly with the desires of Israel.

http://www.dkosopedia.com/index.php/Leo_Strauss

Leo Strauss(1899-1973) was probably the most significant political philosopher of the twentieth century. Strauss was born on September 20, 1899 in Kirchhain, Germany, near the university town of Marburg in Hesse, and grew up in an Orthodox Jewish family. Strauss studied philosophy at a variety of German universities, eventually completing his doctorate at the University of Hamburg under Ernst Cassirer. Strauss would come to specialize in the history of political philosophy and refused the title of "political philosopher." In 1932 he left Germany, both to pursue his work and to escape the growing political crisis in his home country. After spending time in both France and England, where he published a book on Hobbes, Strauss arrived in the U.S. in 1937. He would eventually teach at the New School for Social Research (1938-1949), the University of Chicago (1949-1967), Claremont Men's College (now Claremont McKenna College) (1968-1969), and St. John's College in Annapolis, MD (1969-1973).

He was widely known for his argument that the works of Western philosophers can be read at two different levels: an exoteric level easily accessible to all, and an esoteric level that contains the philosophers' real teachings.

Strauss' most accessible work is probably Liberalism: Ancient and Modern, a collection of essays. His major works include Natural Right and History, Persecution and the Art of Writing, and Thoughts on Machiavelli.

Important students of Strauss include Harry Jaffa (who is said to have written Barry Goldwater's line about extremism in the defense of liberty), Allan Bloom (author of The Closing of the American Mind), Martin Diamond, Walter Berns, Thomas West, and Herbert Storing.

Versus democracy
Other elements of the philosophy of Strauss are controversial with ideals that seem to go contrary to democracy. According to an analysis by Jim Lobe for the Inter Press Service News Agency, Strauss believed the world to be a place where policy advisers may have to deceive their own publics and even their rulers in order to protect their countries. (That should sound familiar in light of current day realities.)

Shadia Drury of the University of Regina, author of 1999's Leo Strauss and the American Right, says "Strauss was neither a liberal nor a democrat... Perpetual deception of the citizens by those in power is critical (in Strauss's view) because they need to be led, and they need strong rulers to tell them what's good for them. .. The Weimar Republic (in Germany) was his model of liberal democracy for which he had huge contempt," added Drury. Liberalism in Weimar, in Strauss's view, led ultimately to the Nazi Holocaust against the Jews. (I trust you see the Edward Luttwak teachings in that fact regarding Strauss’ teaching to people like Wolfowitz and Shulsky.)

According to Drury, Strauss, like Plato, taught that within societies, "some are fit to lead, and others to be led". But, unlike Plato, who believed that leaders had to be people with such high moral standards that they could resist the temptations of power, Strauss thought that "those who are fit to rule are those who realise there is no morality and that there is only one natural right, the right of the superior to rule over the inferior". (This is in part how we now have a government of tyranny over us rather than a government by us. If your peace, happiness and prosperity are waning, this is part of the reason why – our government belligerence towards us.)

For Strauss, "religion is the glue that holds society together", said Drury, who added that Irving Kristol, among other neo-conservatives, has argued that separating church and state was the biggest mistake made by the founders of the U.S. republic.

"Secular society in their view is the worst possible thing", because it leads to individualism, liberalism and relativism, precisely those traits that might encourage dissent, which in turn could dangerously weaken society's ability to cope with external threats. "You want a crowd that you can manipulate like putty," according to Drury. [1]

Influence on US foreign policy
Abram N. Shulsky received his doctorate under Strauss in 1972. Paul Wolfowitz, who was introduced to Straussian ideas while an undergraduate at Cornell, also studied with Strauss (though he received his doctorate under Albert Wohlstetter). Shulsky's area of expertise was Soviet disinformation techniques. The Straussian movement has many other adherents in and around the George Walker Bush Administration. They include William Kristol, the editor of the Weekly Standard, and Stephen Cambone [sic], the Under-Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, who is particularly close to Donald Rumsfeld.

Strauss's influence on foreign policy decision making (he never wrote explicitly about the subject himself) is usually discussed in terms of his tendency to view the world as a place where isolated liberal democracies live in constant danger from hostile elements abroad, and face threats that must be confronted vigorously and with strong leadership.

Intelligence and duplicity
How Strauss's views might be applied to the intelligence-gathering process is less immediately obvious. Shulsky explored that question in a 1999 essay, written with Gary Schmitt, entitled "Leo Strauss and the World of Intelligence (By Which We Do Not Mean Nous)"--in Greek philosophy the term nous denotes the highest form of rationality.

In the essay, Shulsky and Schmitt write that Strauss's "gentleness, his ability to concentrate on detail, his consequent success in looking below the surface and reading between the lines, and his seeming unworldliness . . . may even be said to resemble, however faintly, the George Smiley of John le Carré's novels."

Echoing one of Strauss's major themes, Shulsky and Schmitt criticize America's intelligence community for its failure to appreciate the duplicitous nature of the regimes it deals with, its susceptibility to social-science notions of proof, and its inability to cope with deliberate concealment. A more limited argument analogous to that of Robert Lucas regarding economics, is that any theory of leaders' behavior, like market behavior, had to assume that the enemy was as sophisticated and capable of self-assessments as any American, as capable of lying, and that it was "naïve" to assume that any question short of "what would we do?" and "why would he tell us that?" could lead to accurate anticipation. They suggested that political philosophy, with its emphasis on the variety of regimes, could provide an "antidote" to the C.I.A.'s failings, and would help in understanding Islamic leaders, "whose intellectual world was so different from our own." How the Western academic view of other cultures would assist in evaluating the Western intelligence agency view, retaining Western bias and losing direct experience in the field, was not addressed by Shulsky and Schmitt. They focused elsewhere:

http://www.claremont.org/writings/000622masugi.html

Marini contends, taking Strauss as his authority, that "the practice of the modern state is dependent upon a theory which denies the truth of the natural necessities which require limited government. Rather, it presupposes a progressive solution to every human problem, in which case the power of government cannot be limited" (397-98).

Leo Strauss' Philosophy of Deception

By Jim Lobe, AlterNet. Posted May 19, 2003.

Many neoconservatives like Paul Wolfowitz are disciples of a philosopher who believed that the elite should use deception, religious fervor and perpetual war to control the ignorant masses.

What would you do if you wanted to topple Saddam Hussein, but your intelligence agencies couldn't find the evidence to justify a war?

A follower of Leo Strauss may just hire the "right" kind of men to get the job done – people with the intellect, acuity, and, if necessary, the political commitment, polemical skills, and, above all, the imagination to find the evidence that career intelligence officers could not detect.

The "right" man for Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, suggests Seymour Hersh in his recent New Yorker article entitled 'Selective Intelligence,' was Abram Shulsky, director of the Office of Special Plans (OSP) – an agency created specifically to find the evidence of WMDs and/or links with Al Qaeda, piece it together, and clinch the case for the invasion of Iraq.

Like Wolfowitz, Shulsky is a student of an obscure German Jewish political philosopher named Leo Strauss who arrived in the United States in 1938. Strauss taught at several major universities, including Wolfowitz and Shulsky's alma mater, the University of Chicago, before his death in 1973.

Strauss is a popular figure among the neoconservatives. Adherents of his ideas include prominent figures both within and outside the administration. They include 'Weekly Standard' editor William Kristol; his father and indeed the godfather of the neoconservative movement, Irving Kristol; the new Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, Stephen Cambone, a number of senior fellows at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) (home to former Defense Policy Board chairman Richard Perle and Lynne Cheney), and Gary Schmitt, the director of the influential Project for the New American Century (PNAC), which is chaired by Kristol the Younger.

Rule One: Deception

It's hardly surprising then why Strauss is so popular in an administration obsessed with secrecy, especially when it comes to matters of foreign policy. Not only did Strauss have few qualms about using deception in politics, he saw it as a necessity. While professing deep respect for American democracy, Strauss believed that societies should be hierarchical – divided between an elite who should lead, and the masses who should follow. But unlike fellow elitists like Plato, he was less concerned with the moral character of these leaders. According to Shadia Drury, who teaches politics at the University of Calgary, Strauss believed that "those who are fit to rule are those who realize there is no morality and that there is only one natural right – the right of the superior to rule over the inferior."

This dichotomy requires "perpetual deception" between the rulers and the ruled, according to Drury. Robert Locke, another Strauss analyst says, "The people are told what they need to know and no more." While the elite few are capable of absorbing the absence of any moral truth, Strauss thought, the masses could not cope. If exposed to the absence of absolute truth, they would quickly fall into nihilism or anarchy, according to Drury, author of 'Leo Strauss and the American Right' (St. Martin's 1999).

Second Principle: Power of Religion

According to Drury, Strauss had a "huge contempt" for secular democracy. Nazism, he believed, was a nihilistic reaction to the irreligious and liberal nature of the Weimar Republic. Among other neoconservatives, Irving Kristol has long argued for a much greater role for religion in the public sphere, even suggesting that the Founding Fathers of the American Republic made a major mistake by insisting on the separation of church and state. And why? Because Strauss viewed religion as absolutely essential in order to impose moral law on the masses who otherwise would be out of control.

At the same time, he stressed that religion was for the masses alone; the rulers need not be bound by it. Indeed, it would be absurd if they were, since the truths proclaimed by religion were "a pious fraud." As Ronald Bailey, science correspondent for Reason magazine points out, "Neoconservatives are pro-religion even though they themselves may not be believers."

If you have ever heard the motto of the Mossad, the Straus teachings and beliefs and the Mossad motto are strikingly similar.

Mossad's motto is "By way of deception, we shall make war."

In 1973, Ahmed Bouchiki, an innocent Arab waiter in Lillehammer, Norway, was killed. He had been mistaken for Ali Hassan Salameh, one of the leaders of Black September, a Palestinian militant organization which was responsible for the Munich Massacre and had been given shelter in Norway. The Mossad agents used fake Canadian passports, which angered the Canadian government.

In 1981, fake British passports were discovered in a grocery bag in London, leading to a diplomatic row with Israel over Mossad involvement with the attempt to infiltrate China.

In 1997, two Mossad agents were caught in Jordan (which has signed a peace treaty with Israel) on a mission to assassinate Sheikh Khaled Mashal, a leader of the militant group Hamas, by injecting him with poison. Again, they were using fake Canadian passports. This led to a diplomatic row with Canada and Jordan, and Israel was forced to provide the poison antidote and release around seventy Palestinian prisoners, in particular Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, who played a prominent role in encouraging attacks on Israeli civilians (and soldiers) during the Al-Aqsa Intifada, in exchange for the Mossad agents (who would otherwise have faced the death penalty for attempted murder).

In July 2004, New Zealand imposed diplomatic sanctions on Israel over an incident in which two Israelis, Uriel Kelman and Eli Cara, allegedly working for Mossad, attempted to fraudulently obtain New Zealand passports. [1] Israeli Foreign Minister, Silvan Shalom, later apologised to New Zealand for their actions. New Zealand cancelled several other passports believed to have been obtained by Israeli agents.[2]

The Fraud of Neoconservative "Anti-Communism"

by Max Shpak

May 15, 2002

http://www.originaldissent.com/shpak051502.html

{start} Neoconservatives and their apologists would have the public believe that the neocons were former Leftists who saw the light and came to reject liberal or Marxist ideology as a matter of conviction and principle. Regrettably, this official line has come to be conventional wisdom, no doubt reflecting neocon efforts to hide the fact that their transformation was neither sincerely motivated nor sincerely enacted. To understand the real agenda that drove and continues to drive much of neoconservatism, one needs to look back to the origins of the movement and the cultural backgrounds of those who lead it.

It is a well-established fact that many of the early luminaries of neoconservatism (most famously Irving Kristol in the 1940's, a more recent famous example being David Horowitz) came from Marxist backgrounds, and that neoconservatism (like Marxism itself) began and continues to be a largely a phenomenon of Jewish intellectualism. In the early part of the 20th century, Marxism attracted a disproportionate pool of Jewish recruits for a number of obvious reasons. There are a number of complex psychological and social reasons for the attraction, all of which largely stem from the fact that Marxist internationalism is an ideology which by its very nature finds disciples among a rootless, anti-religious urban intelligentsia.

More important for the purposes of this analysis, however, are the practical reasons for Jewish sympathy with Bolshevism. European and American Jews alike carried deep-seated hatreds for the traditional regimes and religions of the European continent, particularly Czarist Russia and various Eastern European nations due to (real and imagined) "persecution" and "pogroms" that occurred there. Thus, when the Bolsheviks overthrew the Czar, destroyed the hated Orthodox Church, rendered powerless the landed religious peasantry, and replaced traditional Russian authority with a largely Jewish Commissariate, world Jewry (including alleged "capitalists" like the Schiffs and Rothschilds) embraced the Revolution and Marxist ideology alike.

Perhaps even more significant a factor in the origins of neoconservatism was the emergence of an independent Israeli state. While many Jewish Marxists eagerly supported the Zionist state, the more intellectually consistent Left opposed Zionism on the grounds that all nationalisms, including Jewish ones, are enemies of global proletarian revolution. Thus, Jewish leftists who once advocated internationalism for gentile nations were forced to come to terms with the implications of this ideology for their own nationalist sentiments. Thus, they needed an ideology which would let them have their cake (opposing gentile nationalism) and eat it too (by supporting Israel), and they found just such a worldview with neoconservatism.

Those comments by Max Shpak are consistent with what I disclosed to you in a previous email update about Edward Luttwak, a well known Israeli intellectual and author of Coup d’Etat, A Practical Handbook. The Neocons oppose nationalism in Christian nations while they pursue rabid Israelis nationalistic policies because such movements have actually turned on the Zionist agenda over the past 100 years. The rise of Stalin was a Nationalistic movement that turned on the Jews and they turned on Russia. The Nationalistic Fascist movement in Germany turned on the Jews and they turned on Germany. The Nationalistic America, when Christians finally wake up, is actually the Neocons greatest fear. It is a complete fraud in that economic fascism exists in this nation today (Government Sponsored Corporate Profiteering) and most Americans do not get it. It was easier to get that done in D.C. than sell communism as an across-the-board ideology but the end results are very similar. We are exercising the Hitler style of blitzkrieg fascism in the Middle East and Afghanistan because that was easier than promoting “Permanent Revolution” in America.

(6) Trotskyism to Anachronism: The Neoconservative Revolution

by John B. Judis, Foreign affairs, Volume 74 No. 4, July/August 1995.

{This is a review of The Rise of Neoconservatism: Intellectuals and Foreign Affairs, 1945-1994, by John Ehrman, Yale University Press, New Haven, 1995}

{p. 125} The other important influence on neo-conservatives was the legacy of Trotksyism - a point that other historians and journalists have made about neoconservatism but that eludes Ehrman. Many of the founders of neoconservatism, including The Public Interest founder Irving Kristol and coeditor Nathan Glazer, Sidney Hook, and Albert Wohlstetter, were either members of or close to the Trotskyist left in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Younger neoconservatives, including Penn Kemble, Joshua Muravchik, and Carl Gershman, came through the Socialist Party at a time when former Trotskyist Max Schachtman was still a commanding figure.

What both the older and younger neoconservatives absorbed from their socialist past was an idealistic concept of internationalism. Trotskyists believed that Stalin, in trying to build socialism in one country rather than through world revolution, had created a degenerate workers' state instead of a genuine dictatorship of the proletariat. In the framework of international communism, the Trotskyists were rabid internationalists rather than realists and nationalists. In 1939, as a result of the Nazi-Soviet pact, the Trotskyist movement split, with one faction under James Burnham and Max Schachtman declaring itself opposed equally to German Nazism and Soviet communism. Under the influence of an Italian Trotskyist, Bruno Rizzi, Burnham and Schachtman envisaged the Nazi and Soviet bureaucrats and American managers as a new class {burnham.html}. While Burnham broke with the left and became an editor at National Review, Schachtman remained. The neoconservatives who went through the Trotskyist and socialist

Ms. Pelaez's column is distinguished only by the crudeness of the fabricated details that she employs to further her arguments. After tracing the undoubted influence of the right-wing German-born political scientist Leo Strauss (See: http://www.wsws.org/articles/2003/mar2003/stra-m26.shtml) upon many of those dubbed neoconservatives in the Bush administration, she proceeds to the alleged Trotskyist connection.

She continues: "The children of the made-in-the-USA Trotskyists, their names are Wolfowitz, Perle, Kristol, Feith, David Wurmser, etc., became part of the liberal anticommunist movements between the 1950s and 70s. Later they converted themselves into neoconservatives and transformed Trotsky's theory of Permanent Revolution into Permanent Conquest based on Strauss. Then they put it into action after taking power, calling it Permanent Expansion, justifying it by saying that everything that is good for America is good for the world' and that the United States has the right to attack any country if it perceives the existence of any danger.'" ...

The original followers of Leon Trotsky were definitely communists and they definitely adhered to his belief in a world of “Permanent Revolution” a la communist style.

What has happened over the years however, is that some of these Trotskyites as they are called have morphed from being pro-communist into being pro-fascist because they found that they could achieve their ends by embracing capitalistic fascism. To say this more clearly, we now have pro-communist Trotskyites and pro-fascist Trotskyites, which does make the issue much harder to detect, see or comprehend. Many people in the United States are still opposed to communism, and few even recognize fascism when it is squarely in their face as it is now in our government and the policies of this nation. Economic Fascism (Mussolini Style) is literally the Corporatization of Government. That is exactly why DC follows the will of corporations and not the will of the people. Our new pre-emptive war policies are the Hitler brand of fascism and blitzkrieg, but who is benefiting from that is Israel and the Zionists, not the United States.

The PDF attachment is a list of Neocons I have kept for years and add to it when enough information surfaces to determine that a particular person or institution is actually Neocon in thought, process and objective. It is nowhere near complete and there is even another list that are all of the corporate thugs we have learned to detest, like Michael Milken (Neocon), Gary Winnick (Neocons), former CEO of Citigroup Sanford Weill, the most heavily fined Wall Street firm due to corporate and securities fraud, Steven Schwartzman of Blackstone Group, Leon Black of Blackstone Group, Pete Peterson of Blackstone Group, Michael Eisner, Disney, etc. The corporate list is even longer than the government related Neocon list because the money is so much better in the corporate world.

For those Progressives that receive my updates, the following is actually the real definition of a conservative and there is a huge difference in a true conservative like myself and these Neocon thugs that have snuck into the hen house.

http://www.stopthelie.com/

Real Republicans, take note: There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE between "Conservative Republican Values" and "NeoConservative Values."

· Conservative Republicans: STRONGLY favor protecting our civil liberties - Truly American
NeoConservatives: See our civil liberties as an unnecessary restriction on government power.

· Conservative Republicans: STRONGLY favor a smaller, less intrusive government- Truly American
NeoConservatives: Are Willing to spend money (and expand government reach) without restraint, provided it helps them further their agenda.

· Conservative Republicans: STRONGLY favor Fiscal Responsibility and reducing taxes - GOOD FOR AMERICA
NeoConservatives: Fool the public into thinking a "tax cut" (Paid for with PRINTED MONEY) is actually beneficial. -hiding the fact that it amounts to little more than a loan that the taxpayer (or their children) will have to repay WITH INTEREST.

****Side Note on current fiscal policy: Tax cuts on PRINTED MONEY are NOT tax cuts! It is like me saying I'm going to give you $1,000, but then I secretly add a 1,500 debt to your mortgage. ...Eventually, that money is going to have to be paid with interest and it is going to be TAXES that pays it. To say nothing of the additional spending that has been passed on printed money by this administration-to say nothing of how that further reduces the value of the dollars in your pocket! If these were "democrats" in office, they would have (rightfully) been raked over coals by now!

I am a conservative and split with the Republican Party due to their moving away from those three simple political principles and how the Neocons have slowly penetrated and perverted those principles into Neocon and Zionist objectives. What is stated above is accurate and on target. The Neocon objectives and ideologies are not the true ideologies of true conservatives regardless of what party they are affiliated with.

To summarize, we have Bolshevik style communists who have moved to the RNC because they have learned how to manipulate it. We have Zionist Christians and Dominionist Christians that do not have a clue what they are supporting and how endorsement of lying, killing, assassination, and subjugation of Americans and foreigners in the name of democracy is indeed a sin. We have Far Right anti-communists supporting the Neocons because they fear them and their policies are making huge profits in Big Defense, Big Pharma, Big Oil, Big :Banks agenda of global domination. In short, we have Bolshevik communists and warhawk Americans in bed together because it is good for business and the money they are making at the expense of the rest of us. We have Fascist Neocons and Communist Neocons in bed together. We have Trotskyites that are communist and we have Trotskyites that are fascist. We have Christians supporting Jews to the detriment of Christians and non-Christians, and we have Christians supporting any evil dreamed up by Neocons that are not religious and generally have little to no regard for religion or Christians.

Neocons have common traits and are not that hard to pick out with diligent research and following the trails they leave.

Neocons are all supported by, affiliated with now or have been in the past, or are affiliated with the major funding sources that finance the think tanks that parrot Neocon ideology and objectives. Such institutions are American Enterprise Institute [AEI], The Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society, Empower America and their new spin off Americans for Victory over Terrorism [AVOT]. There are others and think tanks are an important element in getting the message out without identifying all of the Neocons who want that message out and certain policies to be implemented or maintained as a status quo.

Neocons are all supported by, affiliated with now or have been in the past, or are affiliated with the major funding sources of Jewish organizations that lobby intensely for Israel’s best interest, even if that is negative to the best interests of Americans. Such groups include JINSA [Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs], AIPAC [American Israel Public Affairs Committee], and WINEP [Washington Institute for Near East Policy], and a hybrid group known as the JINSA was created to interface with our Pentagon and has provided virtually wide open access to Zionist to our military technology and secrets. AIPAC was created to lobby Congress, while WINEP was created to lobby our Executive Branch to achieve Israeli and Zionist objectives.

Neocons have changed their tactics from Perpetual Revolution of the communists to Perpetual Conquests within the Conservative Right because that is meeting the desires of the Zionist and the Neocons. Besides, they are making a lot of money from such a move and enjoying their new found power.

Neocons gravitate towards any capitalist society where they can immerse themselves into the system, create chaos and make lots of money for themselves, Israel and move US policy towards pro-Israel objectives.

Neocons are enmeshed within the ownership and are the mouthpieces of the Major Media, for the benefit of Zionist objectives, not your objectives or future well being.

Neocons are not for the most part religious, have no hesitancy in being deceitful, evasive, seeking secretive government, but endorse alignment with Christians because they have been easy to deceive for the glory of Israel.

Neocons are globalist and internationalist because they know that nationalistic movements, such as is happening in Russia, are not and will not be pro-Neocon, pro-Zionist or pro-Jewish. The American Nationalism is not viewed as a threat because they want it that way to fulfill the objectives of the Zionist, Jewish and non-Jewish. The Neocons are truly afraid of a Nationalistic American movement that would reject their ideology and undermine what they have spent 60 years setting up in the United States within our media, our corporations, think tanks, government, and their pro-Israel groups that only pretend to be interested in America. As long as the Christian remained duped and do not realize that Judaism in the Zionist form hates Christians, the Neocons are happy campers. If you want to see terror in the eyes of the Neocons, let us have a Christian uprising in this nation to clean house in D.C. They will go from smug to shrill in about 1 second.

Most Neocons are still communist, socialist and have put on a different cloak so we will all think they stand for family values, smaller government, and Christian values. Many of the Neocons are Zionist Jews that hold Christians in total contempt except when they are smiling at the Christians to get their support so the Neocons can stay in power. Keep in mind that the same people that preach smaller government, lower taxes, family values are the same people that are racking up record deficits, record National Debt and crushing most families in this nation.

To be in the Neocon cabal, one has to have total, blind and unconditional support for the policies and desires of Israel, even if that is contrary to the best interest of Americans.

Neocons excel in creating deceit and chaos and what they present to Americans as “good for America” is actually “good for Zionism and Israel”, but not under the guise of being good for true Torah Jews, just the Zionists many of whom are not even Jewish. I hope you caught that – many Zionists are not Jews or not Jewish by birth or by blood line.

It is apparent to me that the Neocons and their Zionist backers have memorized Edward Luttwak’s Coup d’Etat, A Practical Handbook as much as I have memorized Sun Tzu’s The Art of War.

So, to summarize again, they are not conservatives, they are of communist origins. In our current times, they are also not pro-American as they are pro-to themselves and pro-Israel. They do not believe in being honest with you because a Nationalistic American uprising would be their undoing, on both sides of the aisle in DC.

RNC and DNC lie to their constituents about what agenda they are really following and it is not American, it is Zionist Neocons. I found the map below that was put forth by some of the Zionist leaders before and after World War I and World War II regarding the Israel some of the Zionists believe they are due and entitled to. I pulled out as a Republican when I began learning inside from former RNC Treasurer William McManus that the Neocons were winning the war of ideology in the back corridors of Washington, DC within the RNC. The hardliner RNC stance is actually the work of Bolshevik communists who have wrapped themselves in the flag, Christianity (although being driven by Jews and major Jewish lobbies), and a global conquest objective – all for the glory of Israel, not the United States. They accomplished that by embracing first economic fascism and then all out blitzkrieg fascism because Americans still do not get it when they see fascism and recognize it for what is truly is.

The map explained a lot to me about why Israel cannot seem to get along with anyone in the Middle East, and expects the United States to send our sons and daughters to achieve their goals. This map was put forth in England, the primary proponent of Palestine being taken over after World War II. These were two of the men (Theodor Herzl and Rabbi Fischmann) who planted the seed that the Jews need to be returned to Israel and are entitled to the Israel they think God promised them.

I support America and Americans. I do not support expansionist objectives of the Zionist or any Christian Zionist that blindly follows hatred, lies and killing as a moral or religious doctrine.

I hope this email update and the PDF attachment provides you with an education in what the Neocons really are and why their goals are adverse to your best interest. Just beware, whether a Democrat or Republican is in the White House is immaterial because the Neocons now control both sides. Whether the Democrats or Republicans control the House and Senate is immaterial. The problem is cancer that has to be removed before this Republic is on a course that will assure the total destruction of this Republic.

Best regards and Merry Christmas,

Karl

PS: If you do not see the correlation between 1.) this map; and 2.) trouble; and 3.) our current U.S. Middle East policy, you might want to get your eyes checked.

This is a map of what two proponents of Israel, Theodor (Binyamin Ze’ev) Herzl in the early 1900s and Rabbi Fischmann during the WW II era were floating around in the U.K. prior to the 1948 formation of Israel.

Some Zionists literally believe this is what they are entitled to, not the sliver that the U.N and other nations decided to allot.

"Riding with the Bad Boys":

the rise of Iraqi death squads

Mike Whitney

November 29, 2005

The New York Times confirmed today that the "Iraqi (security) forces are carrying out executions in predominantly Sunnis neighborhoods." Hundreds of men have been taken from taken from their homes by men in Iraqi uniforms and either "found dead in ditches or fields, with bullet holes to their temples, acid burns to their skin, and holes in their bodies apparently made by electrical drills. Many have simply vanished". (Dexter Filkins, "Sunnis accuse Iraqi Military of Kidnappings and Slayings" NY Times)

The Times merely reiterates what has been echoing through internet for some time now, that the Iraqi Interior Ministry is using lethal force to undercut the Sunni-led resistance and terrorize the public. The plan was first uncovered in an article by Seymour Hersh in January 2005. Hersh reported that the Pentagon was intending to trigger "The Salvador Option"; a strategy which involves the training of "death squads" to execute a bloody secret war against "alleged" insurgents.

"Do you remember the right-wing execution squads in El Salvador?" one official asked Hersh. "We founded them and we financed them. The objective now is to recruit locals in any area we want."

Then he added ominously, "We’re going to be riding with the bad boys."

The authorization for the death squads comes straight from the Oval Office. According to Chris Floyd, "Through a series of secret executive orders, George W. Bush has given Rumsfeld the authority to turn the entire world into a 'global free-fire zone’’. (Chris Floyd, Darkness Visible: The Pentagon plan to foment terrorism is now in Operation)

Floyd’s observations are consistent with what we already know of Rumsfeld’s involvement in overseeing the development of the Iraqi security apparatus. Following the presidential elections in Iraq, Rumsfeld paid a surprise visit on the newly-appointed al-Jaafari to discourage any changes in the Interior Ministry where American agents were training Iraqi goons in the fine art of torture and assassination.

Commenting to BBC, Rumsfeld issued a clear "hands off" warning to al-Jaafari: "Its important that the new government be attentive to the competence of the people in the ministries and that they avoid unnecessary turbulence." He said it was important for the security forces to continue building their strength because US forces were not going to be there forever.

The genocidal attacks reported by the New York Times are the predictable upshot of a process that was initiated by the Pentagon to destroy the Iraqi resistance through violence alone. As yet, there has been no effort to engage in dialogue with members of the resistance. This suggests that the Bush administration still believes that the dilemma they face can be resolved without a political solution.

There can be no political solution without direct negotiations with the Iraqi resistance. The smoke-and-mirrors phantom that the Bush administration mistakes for democracy has nothing to do with the serious formation of a legitimate Iraqi government. Voting, in itself, does not signify democracy unless there is broad acceptance among the many factions in the society. The massive demonstration of daily violence indicates a clear rejection of the legitimacy of the state. This can only be decided by eliminating the factors that prop up the puppet regime (the occupation) and engaging in a political process free from outside coercion.

The death squads are in fact just one part of a three-pronged strategy to crush the resistance and establish Iraq as a corporate-colony of American energy giants. The other phase of the operation involves the systematic decimation of Sunni cities.

In the last few months the US military has carried out numerous assaults on Sunni cities to break the resistance and destroy its ability to wage war. In consecutive operations, the occupation forces have followed the same ruthless pattern of wanton destruction and collective punishment they perfected in their siege of Falluja. Ghali Hassan’s shocking article, "Iraq: A Criminal Process" (Global Research) is an invaluable resource for those who really want to grasp the breadth of the war crimes being perpetrated in Iraq.

Hassan says:

"Just before the U.S. forces attacked al Qaim last 29 August, a thriving town of 150,000 people in western Iraq, they cordoned it off, cut electricity, water and food supplies. Then they indiscriminately and disproportionately blanketed the town, from the ground and from the air, with artillery shells, cluster bombs and napalm bombs with the full knowledge that civilians, particularly women and children, would be killed.

When it was all over, the U.S. Marines entered the city to fight (with air cover) those who were still alive. Humanitarian aides and medical supplies were prevented from entering the town, in gross violations of international law and the Geneva Conventions. This cycle of criminal process to legitimize the colonization of Iraq is depicted by the Bush-Blair axis as the "political process" towards "democracy."

The slaughter and destruction in western Iraq are not simply isolated incidents that are kept from the media. They are, in fact, a pattern of willful devastation of city after city executed by the Defense Dept. to break the back of the resistance by decimating the civilian enclaves where they draw their support. The results have meant "scores of casualties due to 'indiscriminate bombing’ by US forces. Paralleling the atrocities committed in other towns and cities, all of which savagely attacked and destroyed the entire population of Tal Afar are now 'ethnically cleansed’ refugees". (G. Hassan)

The death squads and the intentional destruction of the Sunni heartland comprise the first two parts of the three-pronged strategy to defeat the Iraqi resistance. The final leg on the stool is the propaganda war that is being directed against the American people to conceal the details of the military’s war crimes. The arrest or liquidation of independent journalists reporting from the front has allowed the Pentagon’s "embedded" legions to shape a narrative of benign intervention in the name of fighting terrorism. According to the Washington Post not one of the more then one thousand prisoners captured in Tal Afar was a foreign fighter. This should put to rest the Pentagon’s spurious claim that Sunni cities are "Al Qaida strongholds."

American media now functions as an annex of the War Department. The news is fashioned to meet the policy objectives of the state and its constituents. The war that appears on TV stations across America, where US soldiers are dutifully ushering a backwards Muslim nation towards democracy and free enterprise, bears no resemblance to the gruesome realities of the colonial war that is devastating Iraqi society.

The media’s performance in Iraq has been the most successful part of the entire campaign. It continues to embellish, obfuscate or divert attention from the clear facts of America’s criminal involvement.

The media has unfailingly provided the ever-shifting rationale for the ongoing occupation and continued to mobilize public support for the most unpopular war in American history. Its embedded propagandists have been more vital to the war-effort than laser-guided technology, cluster-bombs or detention centers.

The Bush administration’s three-pronged strategy for Iraq precludes a political solution because it is designed as a model for future wars. The Washington warlords and their boardroom constituents have no intention of negotiating the terms of global rule; that is the exclusive duty of the White House mandarins.

Negotiation and diplomacy are signs of weakness. The administration will remain faithful to its right-wing mandate; concealing its real goals behind the smokescreen of withdrawal, while ruling according to its basic precepts of force and deception.

The Real War

How will you behave
in your last battle?

By John Kaminski
skylax@comcast.net

Unless you really own yourself, you're just a pawn in somebody else's
game.

Tennessee Ernie Ford nailed it 50 years ago: "I owe my soul to the
company store."

Could it be the most profound line in American history? In world
history?

We sold our souls for the trinkets ? the best wine, women and song. And
while we were out capturing jewels, our most valuable possessions ? the
kids ? ran off with their peers, got mixed in with the masses and got
chewed up in our scams. Chickens roosting. We kill our children and
deny we do it.

We let our kids go out to play, knowing the land had been poisoned by
our inattention to the important things.

Now we raise our kids to be killed for lies, and squirm in the dark
chasms beneath our pillows, dreaming the bills have come due. They
have.

When people don't earn what they get, and don't get what they earn, a
sickness develops, a corruption. Our society is set up so the middlemen
get all the money. They don't earn their money, they steal it from
others who do. But this is how the society has developed, and the
entire human species has turned into a culture of parasites feeding on
themselves, destroying the very conditions that sustain their lives
with the deluded pretense of gathering "wealth."

That makes it difficult to appeal to their sense of reason, because
their reason is to rape and plunder and not get caught.

The guy who said, "Crime doesn't pay," was a crook, because crime most
definitely does pay, because it runs the whole world, and the best
criminals ? sociopaths posing as political leaders ? often wind up
running governments.

Everybody does only what they can do. Everybody tries to be as honest
as they can. When you have to be slightly dishonest, or change the
debate in order to cover up something you want to hide, you need to
look at the thing you don't want everybody else to know, and understand
how it poisons your life.

Are you happy profiting from someone else?s misery? A majority of us
are.

And that's where we are right now. That's the real war.

The real war presents the task of seeing what is real and what is not.
At present the world pretends the freedom-loving American government is
fighting terror all over the world. Precious few people understand that
the freedom-loving American government has actually created the terror
it pretends to fight, by combining with the subterranean intelligence
agencies with its allies in corporate crime, Britain and Israel, to
foment conflict in regions it wishes to further subjugate. That?s why
they hire all those mercenaries.

Iraq is the classic example, as renegade Mossad hit squads roam the
country bombing Muslim faithfuls and beheading their own superfluous
gophers. And already reports of Mossad operatives in the Caribbean
islands portend new war against Venezuela, whose leader calls the
American president a killer psycho, and all intelligent humans have to
agree with him.

For many, the real war is about coping with the death of your child,
blown to bits by his own countrymen posing as Arab crazies called
al-Qaeda. GET THIS STRAIGHT! Al-Qaida was created by Cheney and
Rumsfeld for use as designated enemies to serve in their demonic plans
to blow up those buildings in Oklahoma City and New York City. You only
have to read any regular newspaper to know that, if you have a brain.

But for absolutely everyone, the real war is about personal mortality,
and WHY we do WHAT we do.

I learned once that the Tibetan Book of the Dead is really a book about
life, and that we are not prevented from learning all there is to know
about possible multiple lives right now in this one, compacting all our
possible lives into this one, and living everything we could possibly
be right now. This is precisely the kind of attention our world needs
right now.

We need to see through the delusions, and distinguish the superfluous
human games from the genuine requirements of life, the necessary
survival strategies for somewhat intelligent animals living on a garden
planet.

By that I mean we need to see the difference between paving paradise
for parking lots and feeling the exhilarating energy in food that you
take through its cycle from the ground to your mouth. Then you get some
idea of who you really are.

Otherwise, as I said at the top, you're just a pawn in somebody else's
game. And if you keep doing it, without ever realizing who the hell you
actually COULD be, the species will go extinct, made forever inept and
superfluous because of its inability to transcend its own
self-constructed delusions.

Otherwise, when you go into that room with Ma?at and the Feather of
Truth (or whichever other mythological metaphor you choose to accompany
you on your final journey on this planet), you may never realize what
the stakes really are, or why you ever lived at all.

And that?s not only a bad thing for everyone and every thing, it?s
precisely the reason why the world we pretend to love in is the
condition it?s in right now.

The Jewish war
on freedom of speech

Corporate West causes terror
in order to profit from it

By John Kaminski
skylax@comcast.net

We have been betrayed by leaders known to us and by those unknown to
us. The elected and unelected. Is there a crime worse than betrayal by
leaders? .... Holocaust revisionism is at the cutting edge of
contemporary thought.
? J. B. Campbell, The New American Man: A Call to Arms

One by one, those who oppose the manipulated Jewish version of history
are being forcibly removed from society, and silenced because their
views conflict with the program of mind-controlled slavery that has
been meticulously crafted by the people who control the world by
controlling the money.

Three leading historical revisionists ? first, Ernst Zündel; then,
Germar Rudolf; now, David Irving ? are all under the gun in European
courts, charged with crimes they are not even allowed to defend
themselves against.

But the worldwide Jewish assault on freedom of speech reaches much,
much farther than that. A kangaroo court packed with Israeli settlers
as witnesses is now roasting of Palestinian benefactor Sami Al-Arian in
Tampa. Anyone who realizes Sami's innocence (prosecution of him would
not have been possible before the passage of the Patriot Act) and
supports him suddenly receives a home visit from the FBI and IRS aimed
at intimidating them into silence. The tactic works. Sami?s support has
dwindled.

And at least two deposed leaders of nations ? Slobodan Milosevic of
Serbia and Saddam Hussein of Iraq ? have through their words from
unjust imprisonment risen to the status of heroes in the fight against
the Jewish war machine that slaughters innocents in many countries
around the world, and trumpets its right to pretend to an exalted,
immune status that they insist nonJews are simply not eligible for.
Everything the Western press has said about both vilified characters
has been deliberately twisted negatively. Media manipulation of the
facts of history is the second-best weapon in the arsenal of the Jewish
war machine. The first, of course, would be money.

Orwell's "newspeak" thus arrives in nonfiction history couched in the
language of the Jewish spy agency named the Anti-Defamation League.
Anyone who questions the unprovable story of gas chambers in World War
Two immediately gets slammed into jail, especially if you live in
Germany or Canada, two satellite toadies to the Jewish-controlled
U.S./UK/Israeli axis of evil now plundering the planet for profit.

Jewish observers of these statements immediately lapse into their
disingenuous fusillade of aspersions beneath the banner of their
cynical credo ? anti-semitism ? most, without realizing that many
millions of people now know of centuries-long plans by the world's
elitist organizations ? notably churches ? to subvert and control the
minds of the human citizens of this planet. The Jews are not without a
very curious history of collapses of societies in which they have risen
to prominence: Rome, Venice, Spain, Britain, Russia, Germany, and now,
the United States.

Today, new laws in most Western nations (arbitrary geographic divisions
of the monolithic social force known as the Corporate West) prohibit
even discussing such matters. The macabre legal phraseology the
thought-controllers use is "defaming the memory of the dead."

The great laugh in this, as one of my fellow alarmists once mentioned,
is that the creators of this law may feign concern about the
reputations of deceased martyrs, but they sure don't care much about
the living, judging by other behavior by the same group.

But this is no laughing matter. Because the real issue is freedom of
speech for every person, and even more than that, it's about freedom of
thought.

Fact: In most countries of the Corporate West, you may not even
consider that much-maligned assertion trumpeted with certainty by men
with such intellectual integrity as Rudolf and Zundel, both of whom are
dismissed as white supremacists and sequestered from the realm of human
communication so the the rest of the world won't get the information
Jews are so desperately trying to conceal ? namely, about their perfidy
during World War II and their control of the financial forces that
allow them to unduly influence all of the major governments in the
world.

The dean of the Holocaust Revisionist movement, Robert Faurisson of
France, has been expressing it best for almost 30 years. ?Show me or
draw me a Nazi gas chamber!"

And in all that time, despite the ubiquitous and obscene hysteria of
Jewish sewer tales, this evidence proving the existence of the
Auschwitz gas chambers has yet to be brought forth for comprehensive
public scrutiny. There can be only one answer to this mystery.

Yet with calculated choruses of ritualized mourning, the new Jewish
Holocaust religion creeps around the world, spread by the efforts of a
powerful yet clandestine network of Jewish supremacists, stifling
thought and promoting Jewish profligacy and poverty and misery for
everybody else wherever it spreads.

This is the result, despite the best efforts of the worldwide Jewish
spin machine ? which includes public schools and medical profession ?
of trying to convince us there was a deliberate policy of extermination
of a certain ethnic group during World War II, and most importantly,
that this is a tragedy that we should worship.

No one quibbles that Jews died, although the actual number ranges all
the way down to 875,000, a number once reported by the Associated
Press. But it is the argument about the gassings, and other side issues
that put the Jews in a bad light, that sends all these people to jail.

To that end, hundreds if not thousands of Holocaust museums have sprung
up across the United States, all funded by taxpayer dollars. Gee,
imagine that? Whatever happened to separation of church and state?
(Yes, I know; Bush got a hold of it.)

As trenchant Jewish critic Norman Finkelstein has pointed out, the
Jewish community has made a mockery of decency by shoving this
Holocaust worship down the throats of everyone else. Lenni Brenner and
other relatively objective Jewish observers have chronicled the sorry
role of international Jewish organizations complicit with Hitler in the
manipulation of Europe's Jewish population for purposes of finagling a
Jewish state in Palestine.

Yet most Jewish critics of Jewish behavior continue to deny the basic
fiction of the German gassings even as they bemoan the pathology of the
Jewish proclivity to suggest that Jewish dead are somehow more valuable
than nonJewish dead.

And anyone who tries to stand up to this thought-control tyranny, if
they are in the truculent satellite countries of the Corporate West
axis of evil, is immediately silenced and thrown into jail for saying
things that are simply not allowed by our Jewish keepers.

Perhaps an even worse effect is that hundreds of otherwise progressive
news sources are effectively constrained from even reporting honestly
on this very crucial issue to human development because of these insane
hate speech laws regarding the Holocaust that are spreading around the
world.

Ironically, the real hate speech comes from the very people who passed
these laws.

The assertion that six million Jews were murdered in gas chambers by
Germans does not stand in the light of critical and objective scrutiny,
and never has. It is only the Zionist spin machine, which controls far
more of your thought than you know, insisting on the fiction, repeating
the propaganda, that has allowed this mistaken idea to take hold in the
public mind. Call it the Lee Harvey Oswald principle.

It is merely a twisted legend of remembered misery fostered by a
self-referential hysteria based upon an ancient edict that declares one
random group of people in the desert are, in perpetuity, so vastly
superior to every other group of humans on the planet that they may
commit any crime against any nonJew without penalty. And this is
precisely the madness that today has our world in a death grip.

Ernst Zundel's trial, a phony Jewish circus if there ever was one, has
been postponed til after the holidays. The German judge fired Ernst's
defense attorney and appointed a more suitable one provided by the
state. Has there been a darker picture of justice in the Corporate West
than this? Sure, every day.

Justice in the Corporate West these days is marked by American-hired
mercenaries in black hoods using cattle prods on the orifices of people
they know are innocent. That is the hallmark behavior of the real axis
of evil: Britain, Israel, and the United States.

The rest of the world may not let this situation go on much longer,
particularly since the Jewish infiltration of the U.S. government, as
well as the U.S. entertainment, medical, and financial systems has as
its objective the collapse of the entire world society and the
consequently lucrative fire sale profits that will be available during
the process of repairing a collapsed world structure. It's a place
where we're headed where freedom is simply not on the menu.

Of the two free speech activists now imprisoned in Germany (Irving was
Nov. 16 in Austria), Germar Rudolf may be the more significant arrest.
His body of work is so academically scrupulous and his conclusions so
definitive and persuasive that the Jews who run the Zionist murder
machine simply had to get him off the street.

As Michael Hoffman reported:

Of all the scientists who have scrutinized the Auschwitz gas chamber
yarn, Rudolf was the most meticulous and dispassionate. His deportation
to face a prison sentence in the German-Israeli banana republic is a
tragedy. To claim that he incited racial hatred because he cast doubt
on the dogma of homicidal gas chambers is like arresting a scientist
who
questions the Catholic dogma of the Virgin Birth because it might
"incite hatred" of Italians. This is just too stupid.

And even creepier, now, when you pay attention to the corporate spun
news, you see new stories almost every day: people being swept up for
not thinking the right thoughts, people being jailed for decades for
simply having thoughts and taking actions that show they have a sense
of humanity and honesty, and are unwilling to accept the facile lies by
a social establishment that is drenched in Jewish money, and skewing
all the facts of existence for profit.

You think my statements are over the top? Consider this ? the central
core of the Holocaust debate: the gas chambers at Auschwitz.

This bold assertion, which has skewed all political dealings in the
world since it was alleged to have happened in 1945, is only the last
surviving bit of hyperbole from a much larger and much more ridiculous
retinue of preposterous claims put forth by Jewish media over time to
popularize Holocaust fever. These range from using the skin of dead
Jews to make lampshades and soap. The term Holocaust itself stems from
a phrase used by a famous writer that has now been proven false.

Jewish hysteric Elie Wiesel won the Nobel prize for literature for his
accounts of the Holocaust, and his critics have proven his statements a
work of fiction. Here is Faurisson?s assessment:

Elie Wiesel passes for one of the most celebrated eyewitnesses to the
alleged Holocaust. Yet in his supposedly autobiographical book Night,
he makes no mention of gas chambers. He claims instead to have
witnessed Jews being burned alive, a story now dismissed by all
historians. Wiesel gives credence to the most absurd stories of other
"eyewitnesses." He spreads fantastic tales of 10,000 persons sent to
their deaths each day in Buchenwald.

When Elie Wiesel and his father, as Auschwitz prisoners, had the choice
of either leaving with their retreating German "executioners," or
remaining behind in the camp to await the Soviet "liberators," the two
decided to leave with their German captors.

It is time, in the name of truth and out of respect for the genuine
sufferings of the victims of the Second World War, that historians
return to the proven methods of historical criticism, and that the
testimony of the Holocaust "eyewitnesses" be subjected to rigorous
scrutiny rather than unquestioning acceptance.

Another observer of the Holocaust debacle writes:

Of course the Holocaust happened, in a general sense. The question is
how much of it happened. Only an idiot would say "the Holocaust didn't
happen." The other side tries to pretend that revisionism is "Holocaust
denial." When you say "the Holocaust didn't happen," you are just
playing right into their hands, and discrediting revisionism.

The above link lists six reasons why the gas chamber story is a lie,
which I will synopsize.

1. The room Jews claim was the Auschwitz gas chamber clearly isn?t that
and wasn?t that (open the link and study the documentary photos).

2. Germans are meticulous record keepers. Many documents were seized
after World War II. None ever contained any written plans to
exterminate Jews.

3. There are no live photographs of people being gassed at Auschwitz.

4. Jewish witness testimony doesn?t prove there were gas chambers.

5. Standard (Jewish) reference books cannot be trusted.

6. Hitler stated his intentions openly, and the Nazis committed
atrocities openly.

There is no valid evidence for the existence of gas chambers at
Auschwitz, only a concerted effort by Jewish media to convince people
there were.

Contemplate the reasons why this is happening, and see how they pertain
to your own health.

These thoughts need to be articulated.

Humans are decent people, not robotoids who need to be molded by social
forces into banal, braindead docility.

The infinite flower that is the human individual should be nurtured and
cherished, not controlled, abused and murdered for reasons that are
lies.

Ladies and gentlemen: Some few of you already know this, but most of
you don?t. Especially note the number of apparently progressive
publications who will not run this story because it mentions Jews. Do
you now realize you yourself are a prisoner in the Jewish war on
freedom of speech?

As you sit there on your couch reading, in your comfortable home,
watching a Hollywood movie, eating corporate food, believing in a
groovy, synthetic god, sucking down an aspartame-laden Diet Coke, do
you have any idea of what the poet William Blake once called
?mind-forg?d manacles??

Be careful what you think. You could be jailed for it at any time,
especially if what you think is about Jews. This is the new American
way. I wonder where it came from.

We, the People vs. Zionism

Anisa Abd el Fattah, MMN

October 25, 2005

"International politics are conducted by the media in today’s world. Israel must win this war."

-- Statement made by American University professor, and leading Zionist intellectual, Amos Perlmutter, in "False hopes along fast track to war, " Washington Times, May 22, 2001

Introduction:

Exactly what Zionism is or is not, does not seem to be of much interest to many Americans who are accustomed to hearing the word "Zionism" in respect to the Biblical idea, and who perhaps have not made the connection between Zionism and neo-conservatism in the United States. Unsavory Zionist ideologues and propagandist among Evangelicals and the Christian right have made a point of purposely blurring any distinctions between spiritual Zion, and the Jewish supremacist ideology called Zionism. They do this hoping to keep America’s faithful pumping their hard earned tax dollars, and charity into Israel, with false claims that Israel is Biblical Zion, and that Zionism is a messianic message.

Outside of the church, the US corporate media, owned and operated by leading Zionists, also do their part to keep the general public off balance on this identity issue. They make it a point to steer any public scrutiny or criticism of Zionist political misconduct in the US towards non-Jewish elected officials. The media does this, perhaps hoping that all questions that might lead to the discovery that Zionism is a political theory that has adherents who are operating in our government, might be avoided. Creating even more confusion is the fact that Zionist operatives in our government and their supporters are called "neo-conservatives" instead of Zionist. They are called this even though their political outlook is uniquely liberal, and most are former democrats who are fanatically loyal to the idea of a Jewish State that is exclusively for Jews. One of neo-conservatism’s, or rather one of Zionism’s leading American intellectuals, Professor Harvey Mansfield of Harvard University, admitted in an interview on Book TV that he is actually a liberal, and changed his political veneer only upon recommendation of some "neo-conservative" colleagues.

When it comes to Zionist activism, and indeed they have organizations that clearly and unashamedly promote Zionism, and that seek to protect the supreme Zionist initiative, which is Israel, there is no ambiguity about who they are, and what their objectives are. Their activism is protected in the United States by our Constitution that protects the right to have ideas, to organize around those ideas, and to raise funds, to associate and even to assemble and speak, so long as such activity stays within certain bounds. The Constitution does not protect the violation of the constitutional rights of others, libel and slander, and defamation. It does not protect seditious speech, or encouragement of treasonous behavior. Representatives of these organizations regularly appear in US Congressional hearings to recommend that our US Constitution be ignored, subjected to novel interpretations, and that the rights of certain groups, i.e., Muslims, be either curtailed, or eliminated all together. Whereas they will do anything and everything to promote and secure the so-called right for an exclusively "Jewish State" to exist, they vehemently oppose any semblance of religion in the US, except of course Judaism. They have made it their life’s work to prevent the establishment of an Islamic state anywhere in the world, and have led a defamation campaign against Islam and Muslims for years, that is very similar to the Cold war that the US waged against communism. Still, they are not the big problem. The bigger problem facing the American people is that we have Zionists in our government who are not identified as such. Rather, they have cloaked themselves under the mantle of true conservatism, while accommodating their unique worldview by claiming to be "neo" or new conservatives. This is more than merely a political hoax. It is a dangerous deception, since its primary purpose has been to mislead the American people to believe that neo-conservatives
