<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>It appears that as the United States&#8217; citizenry continues to learn in increasing numbers about the <a href="http://www.thedailycrux.com/content/3455/Porter_Stansberry/mpsa" target="_blank">shenanigans of the privately-owned and unconstitutional Federal Reserve</a>, about the Nazi roots of the Pharmaceutical companies, about the communist roots of major tax-exempt foundations and their collectivist &#8216;educational&#8217; purposes, about the scientific study out of the University of Copenhagen unequivocally proving the presence of nano-thermite high-tech explosives within the dust of the rubble of the World Trade Center, about the continued confirmations coming out of &#8216;<a href="http://www.iraqinquiry.org.uk/">The Iraq Inquiry</a>&#8216; hearings ongoing in London that the entire U.S. incursion into Iraq was based on lies, about the opium industry so protected by U.S. interests in Afghanistan that it is booming under U.S. watch care, about the bill in Congress to further restrict gun ownership, about the socialist agenda still attempted to be inculcated within Healthcare reform, and about the undaunted coasting of international leaders to the &#8220;Climate Conference&#8221; to be hosted by the U.N. in Copenhagen beginning December 7th in spite of the worldwide fraud of &#8220;<em>man-made</em>&#8221; Climate Change that was exposed last month, to sign a spurious document that sets up the structural framework for global economic governance based on that fraud and which is the precursor to the subjugation of our Constitutional Republic to a tyrannical World Government, our nation&#8217;s citizenry and consequently all the world will soon experience the repercussion of an orchestrated acceleration of economic implosion geared to extort our cooperation with and participation in the NEW WORLD ORDER.  (And there are still more blockbuster revelations waiting in the wings.)</p>
<p>Read the stunning news from the International Forecaster:</strong></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Potential for Fed to Hyperinflate</strong></p>
<p><strong>Reposted from <a href="http://www.theinternationalforecaster.com/International_Forecaster_Weekly/Potential_For_Fed_To_Hyperinflate" target="_self">The International Forecaster</a>  November 28th, 2009</strong></p>
<p><strong>Always the question about what the Fed will do, more pressure on small and medium banks, municipal bond meltdown, bailouts cant go on indefinitely, looking at the banks, and recalling the French Revolution, the truth of fractional banking.</p>
<p>The following information may be the most important we have ever published. One of our Intel sources, highly placed in banking circles, tells us that on 1/1/10 all banks that have received TARP funds have been informed by the Federal Reserve that they must further restrict any commercial lending. Loans have to be 75% collateralized, 50% of which has to be in cash, which is a compensating balance.</p>
<p>The Fed has to do one of two things: They either have to pull $1.5 trillion out of the system by June, which would collapse the economy, or face hyperinflation. This is why the Fed has instructed banks to inform them when and how much of the TARP funds they can return. At best they can expect $300 to $400 billion plus the $200 billion the Fed already has in hand.</p>
<p>We believe the Fed will opt for letting the system run into hyperinflation. All signs tell us they cannot risk allowing the undertow of deflation to take over the economy. The system cannot stand such a withdrawal of funds. They also must depend on assistance from Congress in supplying a second stimulus plan. That would probably be $400 to $800 billion. A lack of such funding would send the economy and the stock market into a tailspin. Even with such funding the economy cannot expect any growth to speak of and at best a sideways movement for perhaps a year.</p>
<p>We have been told that the FDIC not only is $8.2 billion in the hole, but they have secretly borrowed an additional $80 billion from the Treasury. We have also been told that the FDIC is lying about the banks in trouble. The number in eminent danger are not 552, but a massive 2,035. The cost of bailing these banks out would be $800 billion to $1 trillion. That means 2,500 could be closed in 2010. Now get this, the FDIC is going to be collapsed before the end of 2010, which means no more deposit insurance. This follows the 9/18/09 end of government guarantees on money market funds. Both will force deposits into US government bonds and agency bonds in an attempt to save the system.</p>
<p>This will strip small and medium-sized banks and force them into shutting down or being absorbed. This means you have to get your money out of banks, especially CDs. We repeat get your cash values out of life insurance policies and annuities. They are invested 80% in stocks and 20% in bonds. Keep only enough money in banks for three months of operating expenses, six months for businesses.</p>
<p>Major and semi-major banks are being told to obtain secure storage for new currency-dollars. They expect official devaluation by the end of the year.</p>
<p>We do not know what the exchange rate will be, but as we have stated previously we expect three old dollars to be traded for one new dollar. The alternative is gold and silver coins and shares. For those with substantial sums that do not want to be in gold and silver related assets completely you can use Canadian and Swiss Treasuries. If you need brokers for these investments we can supply them.</p>
<p>The Fed also expects a meltdown in the bond market, especially in municipals. Public services will be cut drastically leading to increased crime and social problems, not to mention the psychological trauma that our country will experience. Already 50% of homes in hard hit urban areas are under water, nationwide more than 25%. That means you have to be out of bonds as well, especially municipals.</p>
<p>As you can see, the Illuminist program is going to come quicker than we anticipated. That in part is because they have had to expedite their program, due to exposure in the IF, other publications and especially via talk ratio and the Internet. There is no doubt we have the elitists on the run.</p>
<p>We are reaching the masses. On TalkStreamLive.com we were on the Rumor Mill this past week and out of 50 talk radio programs we were 5th behind, Rush, Hannity, Dr. Laura and we were tied with Beck. On the Sovereign Economist on Wednesday night we were 5th behind Beck and Savage and ahead of Hannity. Both these programs are not well known and the Sovereign Economist is only about a month old. It shows you what you can do if you work hard enough at it.</p>
<p>The latest favorable events we are told are the seeds of recovery. The green-shoots of spring are to be harvested before winter sets in. We are skeptical of the strength and duration of such a recovery.</p>
<p>The underlying problems are still not being addressed. The US government and the Fed cannot bail out banking, Wall Street, insurance and government indefinitely via monetization. Impaired corporations, no matter what their size, have to be allowed to fail. Stimulus cannot be used indefinitely. Both have to be reigned in, because the longer this charade continues the worse the final outcome is going to be. As we predicted six year’s ago, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and FHA are the wards of American taxpayers, as is AIG. All their financial conditions worsen every day. They have again been insuring subprime mortgages by the thousands and when they begin to reset next year, we will be back to 60% failure rates. Even government admits already they’ll see 20% failure rates. This, so that housing inventory can be cut from 11-1/2-months inventory to 7-months, again in order to bail out the lenders at the expense of taxpayers. Government and the Fed have no exit plans for these sinking ships, particularly Fannie, Freddie, Ginnie and FHA, never mind their meddling in the economy guaranteeing everything is sight. Benito Mussolini would be very proud of what they have done.</p>
<p>Then we have those on Wall Street, banking and corporate America who believe they are doing God’s work by looting the American public making outrageous profits by in part using taxpayer funds, and allotting themselves disgraceful bonuses as unemployment hovers at 22.2%. Haven’t these people heard of the French Revolution? Their arrogance has no bounds. The credit crisis hasn’t ended; the Fed has extended it by throwing money at problems. We have a mortgage market that is worse than it was a year ago, only kept from sinking by a tax credit 3% down. As a result now we have more than $1 trillion of new mortgage failures on the way.</p>
<p>Our monetary base has more than doubled. Interest rates will probably stay where they are for 18 months or more and we even have a dollar carry trade. The 2009 fiscal budget deficit was $1.5 trillion and 2010 will be worse. Government is not cutting expenses. They are increasing expenses.</p>
<p>In addition making matters worse corruption is flourishing via the incestuous revolving door between Wall Street, the Treasury, in a multiplicity of other appointments and with the Fed. Is it any wonder 75% of Americans want the Fed audited and investigated. That said, the present set of circumstances cannot be allowed to go on indefinitely. We cannot keep insurance, Wall Street and banking on life support forever. Not when we finance two occupations and an ongoing war, never mind our unfunded liabilities of Medicare, Social Security, etc. most all of these problems are being financed by debt to be paid by our great, great grandchildren. We just created $12.7 trillion for bailouts and the Inspector General tells us we are presently on the hook for $23.7 trillion. What happens if all the recipients need another $20 trillion?</p>
<p>The situation is still dire and the solution is temporary and unworkable and Washington and New York are well aware of this. The game will play out over the next few years. In the meantime the dollar will move lower and inflation, gold and silver higher.</p>
<p>Economics is not complex; it is very simple. Professors and economists would like to have you believe it is complicated when in fact they make it opaque, so you cannot understand it. The same is true with banking. In normal times through the century’s bankers using the fractional banking system usually lent 8 times their assets, or deposits. It was only until recently that the privately owned Federal Reserve told banks within the system to lend 40 times assets or more in order to accommodate the system.</p>
<p>All this is to cover to confuse and hide the truth of fractional banking. Bankers’ indebt borrowers with money they made up out of thin air. Debt is enslavement by the bankers upon the people by buying almost everyone off. In the final analysis banking is a fraud unless money is interest free. The Fed, and all the other banks are a fraud.</p>
<p>The game as we know it today began in 1694 when the Rothschild’s formed the privately owned Bank of England and the production of bank notes began and circulated along with sterling silver coins. The end result has been that the bankers own the world. The system today is based on confidence and trust, something that has been worn thin. A reflection of the loss of trust and confidence is that 75% to 80% of Americans want HR1207 and S604 passed by Congress, so that the Fed can be audited and investigated. The public no longer trusts the Fed and the banks. As a result the con game may well be coming to an end. Fifty years ago we and a handful of other conservative warriors set out to inform the public of the giant scam that the Fed really was. It has been a long hard road. Gary Allen and Alan Stang are gone and of the originals all that are left are G. Edward Griffin, Stan Monteith, Anthony Hilder and us. During our lifetimes we now probably will see the end of the Fed. Because the people have finally been awakened. It was a long hard battle that may soon come to fruition.</p>
<p>The final step will be the termination of the Federal Reserve and its monopoly on financial theft. Unfortunately it will mean the demise of the only financial system we have known for 315 years. We do not know as yet what the new system will be like, but the con game is over and most of the world’s inhabitants are broke. The debt that is owed simply cannot be repaid. Japan, the US, the UK and Europe will be the first to go followed by most of the rest of the world.</p>
<p>You ask who will be the big winners? Gold and silver of course. Just as we have been telling you they would for 9-1/2 years, since gold was $252.00 and silver $3.80. Look at the gains for those who listened. And, we still have a long, long way to go to preserve our wealth. Over all those years the gold suppression cartel fought to hold down gold prices by selling gold, using derivatives and futures and in collaboration with good producers such as Barrick Gold and others. Hopefully HR3996 (HR-1207) will now pass unchanged and we can take a look at what the Fed and the Treasury were doing and who aided them.</p>
<p>What we are witnessing in the US and world economy is the result of the greed of central banks to make as much money as possible before they have to collapse the system to bring about World Government.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Demjanjuk">Demjanjuk</a> has been tried before for his role as a concentration camp guard. Quite apart from the precise sequence of events leading up to Demjanjuk&#8217;s present trial, the revocation of his US citizenship despite no conviction, and the questions about his guilt or innocence, oughtn&#8217;t one take a step back and ask about how it is an 89-year old accused of war crimes that took place 60 years ago finds his way to trial greater ease than do the present and more recent warmongers (the Bushes, Blairs… and the Kissingers)? Blair, as a result of whose orders many more than 27,900 people died in the four wars he started during premiership, was recently widely tipped as the future president of the EU. <!--more-->Demjanjuk&#8217;s lawyer, Ulrik Busch, pertinently asked:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;How can you say that those who gave the orders were innocent… and the one who received the orders is guilty?&#8221; Mr Busch told the court. &#8220;There is a moral and legal double standard being applied today.&#8221;(<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8387091.stm">BBC</a>)</p></blockquote>
<p>The burden to justify the morality of prioritising Demjanjuk&#8217;s extradition to face any law court over the extraditions of so many other far more prolific and recent war criminals ought to be all the more heavy in countries claiming to uphold democratic principles.</p>
<p>It is also important to ask what good can come of this trial to begin with. In the first instance, it is manifestly obvious that an 89-year old retired car mechanic who is wheeled or carried into his trial isn&#8217;t presently, nor is he likely to become again, any kind of menace to society. The notion of justice alluded to by those claiming Demjanjuk&#8217;s punishment will have any cleansing or restorative effect, is the simple barbarism of cleansing by retribution (at least in this case); supposing Demjanjuk did terrible things, then doing nasty things to him now (extradition, trial, removal of citizenship, focusing the world&#8217;s media on his life &#8211; all at once for a frail near-nonagenarian) is judged of some benefit. On the question of whether trying an 89-year old for 60-year old crimes is moral, there is plentiful debate.</p>
<p>My instinctual reaction isn&#8217;t to focus on this at all. Demjanjuk will be found guilty or he won&#8217;t. His conviction will do nothing whatsoever to abate any kind of conflict in the world. How likely is it that those presently contemplating war crimes will be disuaded on the basis of Demjanjuk&#8217;s (maximum possible) 15-year prison term? I would suggest that those insufficiently hardened to push for their wars on this basis will soon be replaced by people who are. Furthermore, in placing the entire burden of guilt on an individual seems to be a way the reasons for which Nazism&#8217;s toxicity is ignored. <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/philip_zimbardo_on_the_psychology_of_evil.html">Psychologist Philip Zimbardo has provided a map of this territory: why do people do bad things?</a> According to Zimbardo&#8217;s conclusions, it takes a concerted collective effort to bring this about: peer-pressure, twisted ideology, false promises, the breaking of moral taboos, systematized dehumanization of the victim… This is all acknowledged, but, as is the case with most war trials, will be ignored and the sole defendant will be the focus of most commentary.</p>
<p>Far more urgent is to answer why it is that the serious business of western warmongering continues. The top military man in Germany, where Demjanjuk is being tried, <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8380226.stm">recently resigned over the cover-up of facts relating to a Nato strike by the Germans which killed dozens of innocent people</a>. (He didn&#8217;t actually resign because dozens of innocent people died.) Beyond the questions of legality and morality concerning the recent Iraq and Afghanistan wars, there is, I think, a wider set of insecurities. In particular, Europe&#8217;s political unconscious appears confused: how to reconcile the incongruence of its continued involvement in illegal and immoral campaigns with the desire to oppose injustice?</p>
<p>Hitler&#8217;s image is widely used to evoke the archetypal tyrant. The strength of his symbolising &#8220;evil&#8221; is so enduring &#8212; despite the innumerable and utterly deplorable things the human race has managed to do since WWII &#8212; that it is taken as read for the most part that even the most amoral of people would reject and oppose what Hitler was responsible for. The evil of Hitler is so powerful that it polarises even the least ethical of people against him (and it). This was exploited to drum up support for the 2003 Iraq invasion. Despite what the facts concerning WMD really were, it was always easier to allude to Hitler&#8217;s militarization and immanent threat by ascribing to Saddam Hussein the same attributes, those of the warlord racing to derail world peace. The efficacy of hyping up WMD relies on its associations in the unconcious minds of Europe&#8217;s inhabitants with the Holocaust&#8217;s gas chambers, Hiroshima and Nagasaki as well as the fragile &#8220;balance&#8221; between two Cold War superpowers threatening each other with nuclear annihilation. WMD is a link between WWII and WWIII; Saddam is the requisite Hitler. Ergo, he must be removed.</p>
<p>Moreover, those whose sacrifices afforded victory over Nazism are recognised &#8211;rightly or wrongly &#8212; as history&#8217;s most revered heroes. We often unconsciously accept their superhuman efforts as having been necessary to overwhelm Hitler. The impression is, then, that Hitler&#8217;s regime represents the greatest evil imaginable, and those instrumental in its defeat are the greatest heroes. And here we have the role of the Demjanjuk trial: in prosecuting Demjanjuk the authorities who made his trial possible allign themselves with the greatest of history&#8217;s heroes against history&#8217;s greatest evil. Doing this despite the absence of any obvious benefits at least has the effect of bolstering confidence in the present system&#8217;s moral supremacy, despite the fact it is actively engaged in the slaughter of innocents in locations to which crowds of photographers are less easily sent.</p>
<p>How can we be good if we continue to slaughter innocent people? The answer we are offered by the Demjanjuk trial is: &#8220;We must be good; we fight the greatest evil of all: Nazism. Nothing compares in scale to that; questions about the other stuff can take a back seat whilst we congratulate ourselves.&#8221;</p>

<p>It&#8217;s finally time for <strong>John Demjanjuk</strong>,former Nazi internment camp guard known as &#8220;<strong>Ivan the Terrible</strong>,&#8221; to face the music for the <strong>atrocities</strong> he committed at the <strong>jewish death camp</strong> known as <a title="Treblinka extermination camp" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treblinka_extermination_camp">Treblinka</a> and <a title="Sobibor extermination camp" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sobibor_extermination_camp">Sobibor</a> <a title="Extermination camp" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extermination_camp">extermination camps</a>.</p>
<p>During the period 1942–1943 Demjanjuk committed murder and acts of extraordinarily savage violence against camp prisoners,as an act of loyalty to Hitler.</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Demjanjuk">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Demjanjuk</a></p>
<p>The 89-year-old retired Ohio autoworker arrived at the opening of the trial in a wheelchair to face the final chapter of some 30 years of efforts to prosecute him, wearing a navy baseball cap and covered in a light blue blanket.</p>
<p>At 89, Ivan the Terrible looks&#8230;terrible. <div style="float:right;margin-left:5px;"><a href="http://view.picapp.com/default.aspx?term=*john+demjanjuk&amp;iid=7165037" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.picapp.com/ftp/Images/6/7/2/4/Nazi_Death_Camp_2837.jpg?adImageId=7945738&amp;imageId=7165037" width="234" height="167" border=0  /></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.pis.picapp.com/IamProd/PicAppPIS/JavaScript/PisV4.js"></script></p>
<p>He appears to be a slobbering, shaking, infirmed shell of a man, who is deserving of all the prosecutions efforts to convict him of the Nazi&#8217;s crimes against humanity, and more directly, the murder of 27,900 Jews at the Nazi death camps.</p>

<p>Lawyer Ulrich Busch said &#8220;How can you say that those who gave the orders were innocent &#8230; and the one who received the orders is guilty?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There is a moral and legal double standard being applied today.&#8221;</p>
<p>Well&#8230;he is a Nazi.<div style="float:right;margin-left:5px;"><a href="http://view.picapp.com/default.aspx?term=*john+demjanjuk&amp;iid=2532158" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.picapp.com/ftp/Images/2/8/5/9/John_Demjanjuks_US_24cd.jpg?adImageId=7945722&amp;imageId=2532158" width="234" height="261" border=0  /></a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.pis.picapp.com/IamProd/PicAppPIS/JavaScript/PisV4.js"></script>Demjanjuk was deported in May from the United States to Germany, and has been in custody since then.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://risdvr.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/rape_of_europa.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-427" title="Rape_of_Europa" src="http://risdvr.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/rape_of_europa.jpg?w=150" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>The RISD library has recently acquired &#8220;The Rape of Europa,&#8221; a documentary film tracing the Nazi theft of art during World War Two, and the allied armies&#8217; efforts to recover the stolen artworks. The film has been praised both for its rare archive footage, and for its narrative structure, which keeps viewers completely absorbed in the story, despite the fact that the film is over two hours long. The documentary starts with an explanation of the Nazi concept of &#8216;Degenerate Art&#8217;, and it continues with an in-depth examination of the systematic looting policies of the German armies, as they invaded one European country after another. The Rape of Europa is also a meditation on the historical value of cultural artifacts, which has particular significance today, as the real scale of destruction of cultural artifacts in Iraq starts to become better known.

<description><![CDATA[Reading Maziar Bahari&#8217;s article about his ordeal in Iran reminded me very much of the novel 19]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Reading <a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/223862">Maziar Bahari&#8217;s article</a> about his ordeal in <a class="zem_slink" title="Iran" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=35.6833333333,51.4166666667&#38;spn=10.0,10.0&#38;q=35.6833333333,51.4166666667%20%28Iran%29&#38;t=h">Iran</a> reminded me very much of the novel<em> 1984</em> and all the other descriptions of &#8220;interrogations&#8221; I have read. Thinking about this, I began to suspect that there is a core <a class="zem_slink" title="Authoritarianism" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarianism">authoritarian</a> mindset that remains the same across a wide variety of ideologies. In the case of Maziar Bahari&#8217;s horrible ordeal in Iran, he faced this mind in the form of Mr. Rosewater-his primary tormentor. While Mr. Rosewater is an individual, he is token of a type-that of the authoritarian mind.</p>
<p>The first, and most obvious, quality of this mind is that it is obedient to authority. While <a class="zem_slink" title="Milgram experiment" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment">Milgram</a>&#8217;s famous experiment showed that most people seem to be naturally obedient, the authoritarian mind takes this <a class="zem_slink" title="Obedience (human behavior)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obedience_%28human_behavior%29">obedience</a> to a greater extreme. While the obedience does come in degrees, the truly authoritarian mind reaches a state of almost unquestioning obedience. This sort of obedience is, of course, critical to rulers everywhere-without such &#8220;<a class="zem_slink" title="Dog" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog">dogs</a>&#8221; (as per <em><a class="zem_slink" title="Animal Farm" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Farm">Animal Farm</a></em>) they would lack an essential tool of their power. These &#8220;dogs&#8221; are the people who tortured Bahari, the people who ran the <a class="zem_slink" title="Nazism" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism">Nazi</a> camps, and those folks who tortured in the name of defending freedom and democracy.</p>
<p>The second quality of this mind is a self-fulfilling <a class="zem_slink" title="Paranoia" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoia">paranoia</a>. This sort of person sees any disagreement as the mark of an enemy, thus often forcing such people to become enemies in fact. Hobbes, of course, took this sort of view in the <a class="zem_slink" title="Leviathan (book)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leviathan_%28book%29">Leviathan</a> when he noted that people see a failure to agree as the mark of disagreement and that people react with hostility to such things. Of course, the authoritarian mind takes this to a greater extreme than normal and tends to be willing to take violent action against those who disagree.</p>
<p>The third quality of this mind is a distrust and fear of the <a class="zem_slink" title="Freedom of thought" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_thought">freedom of thought</a> and expression. As such, these people tend to regard intellectuals and journalists as natural enemies. After all, people who think tend not to obey unquestionably and they often raise difficult moral concerns by failing to see the world as those in power wish it to be seen. Journalists, at least those not owned by the state, have a tendency to report unpleasant truths rather than the official &#8220;truths&#8221; of those in power.</p>
<p>Interestingly enough, both the hardliners in Iran and those in the <a class="zem_slink" title="United States" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&#38;spn=10.0,10.0&#38;q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667%20%28United%20States%29&#38;t=h">United States</a> have very similar views about the intellectuals and the media. In both countries, these folks blame the media for creating dissent, undermining the state, and encouraging <a class="zem_slink" title="Morality" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morality">immorality</a>. The intellectuals and elites are also criticized and regarded as enemies. After all, these people are out of touch with &#8220;the people&#8221; and are not part of the true America/Iran.  Needless to say, it was interesting to learn that Mr. Rosewater&#8217;s view of the media is the same as that of <a class="zem_slink" title="Sarah Palin" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin">Sarah Palin</a>.</p>
<p>Of course, the dislike of the authoritarians for folks who think and talk is ancient. The sort of people who killed Socrates are the same sort of people who tortured Bahari.</p>
<p>The fourth quality is a flexible moral <a class="zem_slink" title="Moral absolutism" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_absolutism">absolutism</a>. In general, authoritarian folks believe that their cause or side is absolutely right. They also tend to hold to an absolute moral view of pure good and evil: the enemy is pure evil while they are pure good. This is often associate with a religion (for example, <a class="zem_slink" title="Islam" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam">Islam</a> in Iran and <a class="zem_slink" title="Christianity" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity">Christianity</a> in the US).</p>
<p>What makes their absolutism flexible is that although they see the world in absolutes, they accept that they can do terrible things in service to their cause. For example, Mr. Rosewater worked very hard trying to paint Bahari as a morally evil man. Meanwhile, Mr. Rosewater was beating Bahari, subjecting him to mental torment and keeping him locked away for no legitimate reason. That is, Mr. Rosewater was evil and doing evil things. Likewise, in the United States people advocated using <a class="zem_slink" title="Torture" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torture">torture</a> and imprisonment without trial and justified this by claiming that America is good and hence must be protected.</p>
<p>But, perhaps the authoritarians are not really flexible absolutists. Perhaps they just have two absolute principles: &#8220;my cause is right, so anything done its defense is also right&#8221; and &#8220;my enemies are wrong, so anything they do is wrong.&#8221; These two principles do seem to nicely capture the authoritarian mind.</p>
<p>A fifth quality of the authoritarian mind is a lack of concern about truth. In the case of Mr. Rosewater, his goal was not to find out the truth about reality (that Bahari was just a journalist and not a spy or agent). Rather, his goal was to impose a &#8220;truth&#8221; upon reality. For the authoritarian mind, &#8220;truth&#8221; is not something that one finds by objective investigation. The &#8220;truth&#8221; is provided by those above and it is &#8220;confirmed&#8221; by the use of force and torture. For example, if the authorities say that Bahari is a spy, then Mr. Rosewater would torture him to get him to say that he is a spy, thus &#8220;confirming&#8221; the &#8220;truth.&#8221; In contrast, real journalists and &#8220;intellectuals&#8221; investigate reality to see what the truth is-yet another reason why authoritarians hate intellectuals and journalists they do not control.</p>
<p>Authoritarians might also think that other people do what they do in this regard and this might also help explain this hostility. After all, if they think that the intellectuals and media people are trying to impose &#8220;truth&#8221; on the world, they would see these people as competitors to their &#8220;truth&#8221; and hence enemies. Perhaps the idea of objective truth is foreign to the authoritarian mind (as nicely illustrated in <em>1984</em>).</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, authoritarians are terribly dangerous and help make small and great evils possible. Unfortunately, criticism of them generally tends to reinforce their paranoia as they see any criticism as an attack (especially if it is true). For example, criticism of Iran tends to simply make the hardliners take an ever harder line as they see more and more &#8220;evidence&#8221; that their paranoia is correct.</p>
<p>They also tend to be immune to reason and moral appeals-they are, after all, confident in their own moral goodness and regard reason as an attempt to create dissent.</p>
<p>So, then, how do we deal with such people? In some cases, they can be reached-after all, they are still human. For example, Bahari&#8217;s article reveals a great deal about Mr. Rosewater, such as the fact that he seems to truly love his wife. In some cases, these people cannot be reached and then it comes down to what they understand quite well-force.</p>
<p>Perhaps the best way to deal with this people is by increasing the numbers of people who are not them. While authoritarians are very dangerous because of their willingness to obey and do terrible things, they are obviously not superhuman. As such, their power can be countered by numbers of people who are willing to resist them and the evils that they defend.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_1490" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 229px"><a href="http://rodalund.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/john_hron.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1490" title="John Hron" src="http://rodalund.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/john_hron.jpg?w=219" alt="" width="219" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">John Hron: En modig antirasist</p></div>
<p><strong>Den 30:e november. </strong>Du vet vad detta datum innebär, eller hur? Det är det datumet som nazister ibland tar sin chans att demonstrera på. Oftast är det i Lund eller i Stockholm som nazister samlas för att det för 300 år sen var en snubbe som hette Karl XII som kolade av en kula. En kung bland många andra svenska kungar som inte haft ett skit gemensamt med de fattigbönder som levt i vårt land. Som alltid stått för något annat än att skörda, jobba vid ett band, hämta timmer, vårda sjuka, eller serva matgäster. <a href="http://www.dn.se/kultur-noje/nyheter/kronprinsessan-victoria-westling-brollop-bok-bocker-1.1004102">Kroniska</a> <a href="http://www.dn.se/kultur-noje/nyheter/kronprinsessan-victoria-westling-brollop-hovreportrar-1.1004076">socialbidragstagare</a> och <a href="http://www.dn.se/sthlm/brollopsfest-for-miljoner-1.1001233">snyltare</a>. Knugar som blivit en <a href="http://www.dn.se/kultur-noje/nyheter/sa-skildras-kronprinsessans-brollop-i-medierna-1.1004105">dålig ursäkt </a>för hatet.</p>
<p><strong>Nazisterna var förra året </strong>70 pers i Lund. De hade hoppats på att försöka få in en fot i Lund och ha möjlighet att bygga en social grund bland ungdomar som lurats av deras budskap. Vad många inte vet är att de under ett års tid kommit in till Lund för att skapa bråk och misshandla folk. Men varje natt de smugit runt för att angripa sina offer har de också tvingats tillbaka av engagerade antirasister som stått i deras väg och hindrat dom från att härja.  Nazister som kommit in från ställen som Veberöd, Helsingborg och Malmö har gått bet och fattat att de inte är välkomna. Det är därför &#8211; just därför &#8211; som kanske just du eller just ditt barn inte blivit misshandlade. Vi har samlats och sagt till dom att åka hem till där dom kommer ifrån. För Lund är, och ska förbli, en nazifri stad.</p>
<p><strong>Nazisterna använder</strong> en svunnen tid för att elda på hat och frustration som inte leder nån vart mer än in i kriminalitet, drogmissbruk och brustna drömmar. För det är så den nazistiska rörelsen ser ut. Det är bara att kolla upp dessa gängmedlemmars CV för att se deras brottsbana. För farsor och morsor där ute är nazistiska gäng det sista man vill att sin son eller dotter ska hamna i. Efter några år i &#8220;rörelsen&#8221; brukar nassarna själva också fatta detta. Att dom bara satt sig själva i skiten och inte kommit nånstans längre än till snutens brottsregister. Att deras enda merit är en nedsupen eller anabolasabbad kropp och minnet av folk som de hoppat på när de en fredagskväll varit tvungna att med våld skrika ut sin besvikelse över sin situation.</p>
<div id="attachment_1491" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://rodalund.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/johm-hron.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1491" title="John Hron" src="http://rodalund.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/johm-hron.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="172" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">John Hron: Mördad av nazister</p></div>
<p><strong>Så varför bry sig?</strong> Borde inte vi socialister behandla dessa hatiska och desillusionerade människor med snällhet? Prata med dom? Få dom att förstå att de förstör för sig själva och sin omgivning. Jo, egentligen. Om det nu inte vore så att deras engagemang föder ett våld som är ett hot som finns mot alla som de för tillfället har i skottgluggen. För när de här människorna dyker upp på stan i organiserad form som på 30:e november så gör dom inte det hipp som happ. Dom har en tanke bakom. Dom vill få med sig fler i sin destruktiva rörelse och det är en rörelse som har som mål att misshandla och förfölja folk som råkar ha fel hudfärg, är homosexuell eller tycker att det är helt okej att folk som flyr från krig ska få hjälp. Det är en rörelse med människor som &#8211; pga sin egen desperation och hat &#8211; slår mot allt och alla. Därför måste dom stoppas. Varje gång de går på stan så gör dom det för att misshandla, hata och förfölja. Det är därför de samlas i grupp. Det är därför de skyller allt på människor som är lika vaga och utsatta som sig själva. Människor på flykt, folk som försöker stå upp för sin sexuella läggning, eller sin medmänskliga inställning.</p>
<div id="attachment_1494" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://rodalund.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bjorn-soderberg.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1494" title="Björn Söderberg" src="http://rodalund.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/bjorn-soderberg.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="147" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Björn Söderberg: Mördad av nazister</p></div>
<p><strong>Vi socialister samlas också.</strong> Vi ser en styrka i att hålla ihop och ta hand om varandra. Så länge vi ensamma är svagare så måste vi söka stöd hos varandra. Men vi gör det inte för att förtrycka och slå. Vi gör det för att vi vet att om vi organiserar oss så kan vi förändra samhället till att vara ett samhälle för de som inte äger lyxbilar och vräkiga hus köpta med pengar som vi alla egentligen borde ta del av. Vi socialister samlas av solidaritet och framtidstro. Tro på ett samhälle som kan fixa svält, hemlöshet och arbetslöshet. Inte tron på ett samhälle som lever i skräck och splittring utifrån hudfärg.</p>
<p><strong>Det är därför vi måste</strong> stå upp mot nazister och andra som vill sprida hatets ideologi. Vårt motstånd är ett försvar för de som varje helg misshandlas av dessa rövarband av nazister och rasister. De gator vi kontrollerar, där vågar inte nazisterna visa sig. Det är en del av vår kamp. Kampen för trygghet. Det är inte den enda kampen, men den är en del av den. Det är samma kamp som morsor och farsor för därute när deras son kommer hem med nazistiska symboler och skriker &#8220;Sverige åt svenskarna!&#8221;. Och det är samma kamp som föräldrar stödjer när de ser sitt barn på sjukhuset efter att nazistiska gäng dragit fram och inlett med &#8220;bögjävel&#8221; och sen attackerat med batonger och knivar.  De vet att rädda sitt barn från hatets gift. Låt oss stå upp för våra barn och medmänniskor och hålla ihop. För det är viktigt. Fan så mycket viktigare än mycket annat. Du vet inte när detta urskiljningslösa våld drabbar dig och dina nära. Du vet inte. Förrän det är försent.</p>
<p><strong>Idag kommer Röda Lund</strong> tillsammans med andra försöka se till att vi inte får en återupprepning av det våld nazisterna en gång i tiden stod för i vår stad. Det är viktigt att denna kamp är så öppen och inkluderande som möjligt. Det är när vi gömmer oss bakom masker och har hemliga agendor som vi är svaga. Då kan vi inte utnyttja vår kollektiva styrka. Då blir vi främmande för varandra. Då får vi svårare att mötas.</p>
<p><strong>Vi är mot <a href="http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article6209005.ab">klassklyftor</a></strong> och orättvisor i hela samhället, och vi vet att ingen kommer skydda oss från detta i grunden mer än om vi håller koll och hjälper varandra. Lunds gator ska vara säkra! Det är vi som ställer upp i Lundagård och ser till att fulla killar inte antastar tjejer som inte vill bli tafsade på. Det är vi som säger ifrån när chefer vill bryta mot kollektivavtal. Det är vi som bygger upp en rörelse som står upp och säger nej till att  utnyttjas och luras. Stark som svag. Ung som gammal. Kvinna som man: Om du anser att detta är viktigt &#8211; om du vill dra ett strå till stacken &#8211; så ta kontakt med oss. Vi behöver fler. Du är varmt välkommen!</p>
<p>Vi tillägnar alla som vågar stå upp för medmänsklighet och omtanke följande låt: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJRT_j0U260">Peps Persson &#8211; Enighet</a></p>

<description><![CDATA[Liberals think that the title of Jonah Goldberg&#8217;s book Liberal Fascism is an oxymoron.  They]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Liberals think that the title of Jonah Goldberg&#8217;s book <em>Liberal Fascism</em> is an oxymoron.  They&#8217;re wrong.  Goldberg himself writes:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;For more than sixty years, liberals have insisted that the bacillus of fascism lies semi-dormant in the bloodstream of the political right.  And yet with the notable and complicated exceptions of Leo Strauss and Allan Bloom, no top-tier American conservative intellectual was a devotee of Nietzsche or a serious admirer of Heidegger.  <strong>All</strong> major conservative schools of thought trace themselves back to the champions of the Enlightenment&#8211;John Locke, Adam Smith, Montesquieu, Burke&#8211;and <strong>none</strong> of them have any direct intellectual link to Nazism or Nietzsche, to existentialism, nihilism, or even, for the most part, Pragmatism.  <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Meanwhile, the ranks of the leftwing intellectuals are infested with ideas and thinkers squarely in the fascist tradition</span>.  And yet all it takes is the abracadabra word &#8220;Marxist&#8221; to absolve most of them of any affinity with these currents.  The rest get off the hook merely by attacking bourgeois morality and American values&#8211;even though such attacks are themselves little better than a reprise of fascist arguments&#8221; [page 175].</p>
<p>&#8220;Foucault&#8217;s &#8220;enterprise of Unreason,&#8221; Derrida&#8217;s tyrannical logocentrism, Hitler&#8217;s &#8220;revolt against reason.&#8221;  All fed into a movement that believes action is more important than ideas.  <span style="text-decoration:underline;">Deconstructionism, existentialism, postmodernism, Pragmatism, relativism: all these ideas had the same purpose&#8211;to erode the iron chains of tradition, dissolve the concrete foundations of truth</span>, and firebomb the bunkers where the defenders of the ancient regime still fought and persevered.  These were ideologies of the &#8220;movement.&#8221;  <span style="text-decoration:underline;">The late Richard Rorty admitted as much, conflating Nietzsche and Heidegger with James and Dewey as part of the same grand project&#8221;</span> [Goldberg, <em>Liberal Fascism</em>, page 176].</p></blockquote>
<p>It turns out that most of the moral and philosophical assumptions of liberalism have been shared by not only the Marxists, but the Nazis as well.  NAZI stood for &#8220;National Socialist German Workers Party,&#8221; and was merely a rival brand of the clearly leftist political ideology of socialism.  And given the fact that Marxism was in fact every bit as totalitarian and murderous as Nazism, in hindsight it seems rather bizarre that &#8220;Marxist&#8221; was ever an abracadabra word that the American left was willing to bear to begin with.</p>
<p>The purpose of this article is to explore how the foundational ideas that liberals uphold as being the opposite of fascism in fact actually fed the monster of fascist Nazism, and how the modern American left continue to fall prey to fascist premises and outcomes to this very day.</p>
<p>It is particularly interesting that the supposedly highly individualistic and influential school of thought known as &#8220;existentialism&#8221; became so ensnared by fascism and Nazism.  On the surface, existentialism would seem to be the very polar opposite of fascism and Nazism.  After all, a philosophy of radical freedom centered in the individual would surely be incompatible with a totalitarian social system that denies political liberty in the name of the community.  One would assume that existentialism would be a philosophy of rebellion against all such external authority.  And yet <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nietzsche-Prophet-Nazism-Superman-Unveiling-Doctrine/dp/1420841211" target="_blank">the Nazis quoted Frederich Nietzsche at great length</a> in support of their ideology (see also <a href="http://www.friesian.com/hicks.htm" target="_blank">here</a>).  Martin Heidegger, one of the foremost existentialist thinkers in history, turned out to have been a proud member of the Nazi Party.  And even famed existentialist Jean-Paul Sartre &#8211; who fought to resist fascism in his Nazi-occupied France during WWII &#8211; ultimately merely chose another totalitarian ideology in its place (Sartre identified himself as a Marxist and a Maoist).</p>
<p>Georg Lukács observed (in <em>The Destruction of Reason</em>, 1954, page 5) that tracing a path to Hitler involved the name of nearly every major German philosopher since Hegel: Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Dilthy, Simmel, Scheler, Heidegger, Jaspers, Weber.  Rather than merely being amoral monsters, the Nazis emerged out of a distinguished liberal secular humanist intellectual tradition.</p>
<p>Max Weinreich documented in <em>Hitler&#8217;s Professors: The Part of Scholarship in Germany&#8217;s Crimes against the Jewish People</em>, an exhaustive study of the complicity of German intellectuals with the Nazi regime.  Far from opposing the Nazi regime, we find that German academia actively provided the intellectual justification for Nazi fascism as well as the conceptual framework for the Holocaust.  Weinreich does not claim that German scholars intended the Holocaust, but he argues that the Holocaust would not have been possible without them.</p>
<p>He asks, &#8220;Did they administer the poison?  By no means; they only wrote the prescription.&#8221;</p>
<p>How could such a thing happen?</p>
<p>Very easily, it turns out.</p>
<p>The existentialists (along with the secular humanists and the liberals), deny the transcendent, deny objective truth, and deny the objective morality that derive from transcendence and objective truth.  Rather than any preordained system &#8211; whether moral or theological &#8211; existentialist anchored meaning not to any ideals or abstractions, but in the individual&#8217;s personal existence.  Life has no ultimate meaning; meaning is personal; and human beings must therefore create their own meaning for themselves.</p>
<p>One should already begin to see the problem: since existentialism, by its very nature, refuses to give objective answers to moral or ideological questions, a particular existentialist might choose to follow either a democrat or totalitarian ideology &#8211; and it frankly doesn&#8217;t matter which.  All that matters is that the choice be a genuine choice.</p>
<p>Existentialists didn&#8217;t merely acknowledge this abandonment of transcendent morality, they positively reveled in it.  In his book <em>St. Genet</em>, Jean-Paul Sartre celebrated the life of a criminal.  Genet was a robber, a drug dealer, and a sexual deviant.  By all conventional moral standards, Genet was an evil man.  But for Sartre, even ostensibly evil actions could be moral if they were performed in &#8220;good faith.&#8221;  And since Sartre&#8217;s Genet consciously chose to do what he did, and took responsibility for his choices and his actions, he was a saint in existentialist terms.</p>
<p>And the problem becomes even worse: by rejecting the concepts of transcendence, objective meaning, truth, and moral law, and by investing ultimate authority in the human will (i.e. Nietzsche&#8217;s &#8220;will to power&#8221;, Hitler&#8217;s &#8220;triumph of the will&#8221;), existentialism played directly into the hands of fascism &#8212; which preached the <strong><em>SAME</em></strong> doctrines.  If fascism can be defined as &#8220;<a href="http://www.jstor.org/pss/2009509" target="_blank">violent and practical resistance against the process of transcendence</a>,&#8221; as Ernst Nolte defined it, then it&#8217;s affinities with existentialism are crystal clear.  The two movements became part of the same stream of thought.</p>
<p>Modern Nietzsche followers argue that Nietzsche was not a racial anti-Semite.  For the sake of argument maybe he wasn&#8217;t; but he was without any question an intellectual anti-Semite, who attacked the Jews for their ideas and their ethics &#8212; particularly as they contributed to Western civilization and to Christianity (which he also actively despised).  And in addition to Nietzsche&#8217;s intellectual anti-Semitism was his utter contempt for any form of abstractions &#8212; particularly as they related to the transcendental categories of morality and reason.  Nietzsche maintained that abstraction of life resulted from abstraction of thought.  And he blamed Christianity &#8211; which he rightly blamed as a creation of the Jews &#8211; for the denial of life manifested in Christian morality.</p>
<p>And, unlike most pseudo-intellectuals of today, Nietzsche was consistent: in his attack against Christianity, he attacked Judeo-Christian morality.  He attacked the Christian value of other-centered love, and argued that notions of compassion and mercy favored the weak and the unfit, thereby breeding more weakness.  Don&#8217;t you dare think for a single nanosecond that Hitler didn&#8217;t take the arguments of this beloved-by-liberals philosopher and run down the field with them toward the death camps.</p>
<p>The Nazis aligned themselves not only against the Jews but against the the Judeo-Christian God and the Judeo-Christian morality the Jews represented.  A transcendent lawgiving God, who reveals His moral law on real tablets of stone for mankind to follow, was anathema to the fascists.  They argued that such transcendence alienates human beings from nature and from themselves (i.e., from their own genuine choices).  The fascist intellectuals sought to forge a new spirituality of immanence, focused upon nature, on human emotions, and on the community.  The fascists sought to restore the ancient pre-Christian consciousness, the ancient mythic sensibility in the form of the land and the blood, in which individuals experience unity with nature, with each other, and with their own deepest impulses.</p>
<p>Gene Edward Veith in his book <em>Modern Fascism: Liquidating the Judeo-Christian worldview</em> writes:</p>
<blockquote><p>The fascist rebellion against transcendence restored the ancient pagan consciousness.  With it came barbarism, a barbarism armed with modern technology and intellectual sophistication.  The liquidation of the transcendent moral law and &#8220;Jewish&#8221; conscience allowed the resurgence of the most primitive and destructive emotions, the unleashing of original sin (page 14).</p></blockquote>
<p>Nietzsche argued that God is dead, and Hitler tried to finish Him off by eradicating the Jews.  What is less known is that he also planned to solve the &#8220;church problem&#8221; after the war.  Hitler himself  said:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The war is going to be over.  The last great task of our age will be to solve the church problem.  It is only then that the nation will be wholly secure&#8221; [From <em>Hitler's Tabletalk </em>(December 1941), quoted in <em>The Nazi Years: A Documentary History</em>, ed. Joachim Remak, 1990, page 105].</p></blockquote>
<p>Hitler boasted that &#8220;I have six divisions of SS composed of men absolutely indifferent in matters of religion.  It doesn&#8217;t prevent them from going to their deaths with serenity in their souls.&#8221;  And Himmler said, &#8220;Men who can&#8217;t divest themselves of manners of previous centuries, and scoff and sling mud at things which are &#8216;holy&#8217; and matters of belief to others, once and for all do not belong in the SS.&#8221;</p>
<p>With the creed &#8220;God is dead&#8221; and the resulting &#8220;death of God,&#8221; Nietzsche predicted that energizing conflict and revolution would reemerge in a great wave of nihilism.  Human beings would continue to evolve, he said, nodding to Darwinism.  And man would ultimately give way to Superman.  And Nietzsche said that this Superman would not accept the anachronistic abstract, transcendental meanings imposed by disembodied Judeo-Christian rationalism or by a life-denying religion.  Rather, this Superman would <strong>CREATE</strong> meaning for himself and for the world as a whole.</p>
<p>The Superman, according to Nietzsche, would be an artist who could shape the human race &#8211; no longer bound by putrefying and stultifying and stupefying transcendence &#8211; to his will.  &#8220;Man is for him an un-form, a material, an ugly stone that needs a sculptor,&#8221; he wrote.  Such a statement did not merely anticipate the Darwinist-based Nazi eugenics movement.  It demonstrated how the exaltation of the human will could and would lead not to general liberty, as one might have expected, but to the control of the many by the elite &#8212; with those of the weaker in will being subjugated to the will of the Supermen.</p>
<p>Nietzsche&#8217;s new ethic became the rationale for all the Nazi atrocities that would follow.  As Nietzsche himself put it, &#8220;The weak and the failures shall perish: the first principle of <em>OUR</em> love of man.  And they shall even be given every possible assistance.  What is more harmful than any vice? Active pity for all the failures and the weak: Christianity&#8221; (in &#8220;The Anti-Christ&#8221; in<em> Portable Nietzsche</em>, p. 570).  We see here also the exemplification of yet another legacy left behind by Nietzsche that was picked up by the Nazi and afterward by secular humanist atheists today: the Nietzschean attitude of flippant, sarcastic contempt for all the ordinary human values that had resulted from Judeo-Christianity.</p>
<p>One of the ordinary human values that had resulted from Judeo-Christianity was the fundamental sanctity of human life.  But the Nazis had their own concept &#8211; <em>Lebensunwertes Leben</em> (&#8220;life unworthy of life&#8221;).  And nearly fifty million of the most innocent and helpless human beings have perished as a result of an existentialist philosophy that survived the fall of the Nazis in liberal thought, which celebrates pro-existentialist &#8220;pro-choice&#8221; above human life.</p>
<p>Nietzsche&#8217;s philosophy underlies the thought of all the later existentialists, and the darker implications of his thought proved impossible to ignore.</p>
<p>And Martin Heidegger, in his own personal choice to commit himself to National Socialism, did not ignore them.</p>
<p>There is more that needs to be understood.</p>
<p>Martin Heidegger invoked Nietzsche in his 1933 Rectoral Address, in his speech entitled, &#8220;<a href="http://www.archive.org/details/MartinHeidegger-TheSelfAssertionOfTheGermanUniversity1933" target="_blank">The Self-Assertion of the German University</a>,&#8221; in which he articulated his commitment to the integration of academia with National Socialism.  He began by asking, if Nietzsche is correct in saying that God is dead, what are the implications for knowledge?</p>
<p>As Heidegger explained, if God is dead, there is no longer a transcendent authority or reference point for objective truth.  Whereas classical thought, exemplified by the Greeks, could confidently search for objective truth, today, after the death of God, truth becomes intrinsically &#8220;hidden and uncertain.&#8221;  Today the process of questioning is &#8220;no longer a preliminary step that is surmounted on the way to the answer and thus to knowing; rather, questioning itself becomes the highest form of knowing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Heidegger&#8217;s conclusion became accepted to the point of becoming a commonplace of contemporary liberal thought: <em>that knowledge is a matter of process, not content</em>.  With the death of God, there is no longer any set of absolutes or abstract ideals by which existence must be ordered.  Such &#8220;essentialism&#8221; is an illusion; and knowledge in the sense of objective, absolute truth must be challenged.  The scholar is not one who knows or searches for some absolute truth, but the one who questions everything that pretends to be true.</p>
<p>Again, one would think that such a skeptical methodology would be highly incompatible with fascism, with its practice of subjecting people to an absolute human authority.  And yet this betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of fascism.  In fact, Heidegger&#8217;s Rectoral Address was warmly endorsed by the National Socialists for a very good reason: the fascists saw themselves as iconoclasts, interrogating the old order and boldly challenging all transcendent absolutes.</p>
<p>We find that in this same address in which Heidegger asserts that &#8220;questioning itself becomes the highest form of knowing,&#8221; Heidegger went on to advocate expelling academic freedom from the university:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;To give oneself the law is the highest freedom.  The much-lauded &#8216;academic freedom&#8217; will be expelled from the university.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Heidegger argued that the traditional canons of academic freedom were not genuine but only negative, encouraging &#8220;lack of concern&#8221; and &#8220;arbitrariness.&#8221;  Scholars must become unified with each other and devote themselves to service.  In doing so, he stated, &#8220;the concept of the freedom of German students is now brought back to it&#8217;s truth.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now, the claim that freedom would somehow emerge when academic freedom is eliminated might be sophistry of the worst kind, but it is not mere rhetorical doublespeak.  Why?  Because Heidegger was speaking existentially, calling not for blind obedience, but for a genuine commitment of the will.  Freedom was preserved because &#8220;to give oneself the law&#8221; was a voluntary, freely chosen commitment.  Academic freedom as the disinterested pursuit of truth shows &#8220;arbitrariness,&#8221; parking of the old essentialist view that truth is objective and transcendent.  The essentialist scholar is detached and disengaged, showing &#8220;lack of concern,&#8221; missing the sense in which truth is ultimately personal, a matter of the will, demanding personal responsibility and choice.  In the new order, the scholar will be fully engaged in service to the community.  Academic freedom is alienating, a function of the old commitment to moral and intellectual absolutes.</p>
<p>And what this meant in practice could be seen in the Bavarian Minister of Culture&#8217;s directive to professors in Munich, that they were no longer to determine whether something &#8220;is true, but whether it is in keeping with the direction of the National Socialist revolution&#8221; (Hans Schemm, quoted in Hermann Glaser, <em>The Cultural Roots of National Socialism</em>, tr. Ernest A. Menze, 1978, p. 99).</p>
<p>I point all of the above out to now say that it is happening all over again, by intellectuals who unknowingly share most of the same tenets that made the horror possible the last time.</p>
<p>We live in a time and in a country in which the all-too modern <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0713/p09s02-coop.html" target="_blank">left has virtually purged the university of conservatives</a> and conservative thought.  <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A8427-2005Mar28.html" target="_blank">This is simply a fact that is routinely confirmed</a>.  And as a mater of routine, <a href="http://www.christianpost.com/article/20080530/liberals-again-dominate-commencement-ceremonies/index.html" target="_blank">conservative speakers need not apply at universities</a>.  If they are actually invited to speak, <a href="http://www.studentsforacademicfreedom.org/news/2687/being-shouted-down" target="_blank">they are frequently shouted down by a relative few liberal activists</a>.  And <a href="http://97.74.65.51/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=22229" target="_blank">leftwing censorship is commonplace</a>.  Free speech is largely gone, in a <a href="http://www.adversity.net/education_1_california.htm" target="_blank">process that simply quashes unwanted views</a>.  We have a process today in which a professor who is himself employing fascist tactics calls a student &#8220;<a href="http://chronicle.com/news/article/5976/los-angeles-city-college-is-sued-over-alleged-bias-against-christian-student" target="_blank">a fascist bastard</a>.&#8221;  And why did he do so?  Because the student gave a speech in a speech class choosing a side on a topic that the professor did not like.</p>
<p>We live in a society in which too many of our judges have despised a system of objective laws from an objective Constitution and have imposed their own will upon both.  Judicial activist judges have largely driven transcendent religion and the transcendent God who gives objective moral laws out of the public sphere.</p>
<p>Today, we live in a society that will not post the Ten Commandments &#8211; the epitome of transcendent divinely-ordained moral law &#8211; in public schools.  And why not?  <a href="http://morallaw.org/blog/?p=31" target="_blank">Because judges ruled that</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>“If the posted copies of the Ten Commandments are to have any effect at all, it will be to induce the schoolchildren to read, meditate upon, perhaps to venerate and obey, the Commandments,” which, the Court said, is “not a permissible state objective under the Establishment Clause.”</p></blockquote>
<p>One can only marvel that such justices so cynically debauched <a href="http://startthinkingright.wordpress.com/2009/07/26/whose-country-do-we-want-our-founding-fathers-or-our-secular-contemporaries/" target="_blank">the thought of the founding fathers</a> whose ideas they professed to be upholding.</p>
<p>Justices of the Supreme Court agreed with this fallacious ruling <a href="http://ten-commandments.us/ten_commandments/publicdisplay.html" target="_blank">even as the figure of Moses holding the Ten Commandments rules atop the very building</a> in which they betrayed our nation&#8217;s founding principles.</p>
<p>And thus the left has stripped the United States of America bare of transcendent moral law, just as their intellectual forebears did prior to WWII in Nazi Germany.   And thus the intellectual left has largely stripped the United States of America from free debate within academia largely by pursuing the same line of reasoning that Nazi philosopher Martin Heidegger employed to do the same in Nazi Germany.  We saw this very feature <a href="http://www.infowars.com/climategate-peer-review-system-was-hijacked-by-warming-alarmists/" target="_blank">evidenced by leftist scientists who threw aside their scientific ethics in order to purge climatologists who came to a different conclusion</a>.</p>
<p>The climate that led to fascism and to Nazism in Germany did not occur overnight, even though the final plunge may have appeared to be such to an uninformed observer.  It occurred over a period of a half a dozen decades or so, with the transcendent and objective moral foundations having been systematically torn away.  And after that degree of cancer had been reached, it only took the right leader or the right event to plunge the world into madness.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>To be ANTI-ZIONIST is NOT ANTI-SEMITIC!</p>
<p>For those BIGOTS that hide behind the &#8220;anti-semite&#8221; ,Jew haters, label to anyone that is ACTUALLY ANTI -ZIONIST!!</p>
<p>Here is a Jewish person to explain the difference between a Jew and a Zionist.</p>
<p>http://www.jewsnotzionists.org/differencejudzion.html</p>
<p>I am also ANTI-NAZI , does this make me &#8220;anti-german&#8221; or &#8220;anti-saxon&#8221; or &#8220;anti-white&#8221;?</p>
<p>Concidering that Zionists believe THEY are GOD&#8217;s CHOSEN and INTELECTUALLY SUPERIOR,also similar to Nazi beliefs, ,they sure seem thick as pig shit to me!</p>
<p>FYI The modern Jew is 80% JAPHETIC , the modern Palestinian is 100% SEMITIC. I support Palestinians right to return and think Israel has NO RIGHT TO EXIST in a modern world. Please explain how this makes ME ,an anti-semite?</p>
<p>THE MODERN ZIONIST IS AN ANTI-SEMITE</p>
<p>JEWISH HOMELAND NONSENSE!!</p>
<p>The Americans were responsible for creation of a gangster state headed by an utterly unscrupulous set of leaders,&#8221; – Sir John Troutbeck wrote in his letter to the foreign secretary, Ernest Bevin on June 2, 1948.</p>
<p>Although in the 11th century they comprised only 3% of the world&#8217;s Jewish population, Ashkenazi Jews accounted for (at their highest) 92% of the world&#8217;s Jews in 1931 and today make up approximately 80% of Jews worldwide</p>
<p>Ashkenaz is also a Japhetic patriarch in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10). Thus, Ashkenazim or Ashkenazi Jews are literally &#8220;German Jews.&#8221;</p>
<p>The table of nations in Genesis 10 begins by listing Noah&#8217;s immediate children:</p>
<p>Ham, forefather of the southern peoples (Hamitic Africa)</p>
<p>Shem, forefather of the middle peoples (Semitic)</p>
<p>Japheth, forefather of the northern peoples (Japhetic Eurasia)</p>
<p>THE MODERN JEWISH RACE IS NOT SEMITIC,BUT JAPHETIC,( the Palastinians are SEMITIC,so who is the ANTI-SEMITE?)</p>
<p>&#8220;The term Semite means a member of any of various ancient and modern people originating in southwestern Asia, including Akkadians, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Hebrews, ARABS, and Ethiopian Semites&#8221;</p>
<p>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semite</p>
<p>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashk%27nazi</p>
<p>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_Nations</p>
<p>THE MAJORITY OF MODERN JEWS ARE PROBABLY DESENDED FROM THIS &#8220;JEWISH&#8221; NATION OR LATER CONVERTS.</p>
<p>The Khazars were a semi-nomadic Turkic people who dominated the Pontic steppe and the North Caucasus from the 7th to the 10th century CE. The name &#8216;Khazar&#8217; seems to be tied to a Turkic verb form meaning &#8220;wandering&#8221;.</p>
<p>In the 7th century CE, the Khazars founded an independent Khaganate in the Northern Caucasus along the Caspian Sea.</p>
<p>During the eighth or ninth century the state religion became Judaism.</p>
<p>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khazar</p>
<p>THERE IS A JEWISH HOMELAND FOR THESE PEOPLE ALREADY BIROBIDZHAN.</p>
<p>A documentary film, L&#8217;Chayim, Comrade Stalin! on Stalin&#8217;s creation of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast and its partial settlement by thousands of Russian and Yiddish-speaking Jews was released in 2003. As well as relating the history of the creation of the proposed Jewish homeland, the film features scenes of life in contemporary Birobidzhan and interviews with Jewish residents.</p>
<p>According to the NY Times, Stalin established the city to protect secular Jews</p>
<p>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birobidjan</p>
<p>Far from Jews being forcibly exiled to Birobidjan, there were extensive worldwide efforts to promote this Soviet Jewish homeland project, including &#8216;Ambidjan&#8217;, the American Birobidjan Committee, whose officials included Albert Einstein and the prominent American Jewish author B.Z. Goldberg</p>
<p>WHAT IS ZIONISM</p>
<p>Jewish Zionism is a political religious terrorist organization that was created by a German Jew in the late 1800s and the movements&#8217; goal was the creation of Israel in Palestine. Jewish Zionists believe that their God made a real estate deal with them promising Palestine to the Jews and this is the religious fanaticism that launched the Zionist terrorist organization.</p>
<p>They also believe they are God&#8217;s Chosen people and have some intelectual and/or divine superiority over the rest of humanity. Also similar to Nazi beliefs.</p>
<p>The political movement was formally established by the Austro-Hungarian journalist Theodor Herzl in the late 19th century following the publication of his book Der Judenstaat.[7] The movement seeks to encourage Jewish migration to the &#8220;Land of Israel&#8221; and was eventually successful in establishing Israel in 1948, as the homeland for the Jewish people. Its proponents regard its aim as self-determination for the Jewish people</p>
<p>Zionism is a type of the broader phenomenon of modern nationalism.[6] Initially one of several Jewish political movements offering alternative responses to assimilation and the position of Jews in Europe,</p>
<p>Zionism is based on the foundation of historical ties and religious traditions linking the Jewish people to the Land of Israel, where the concept of Jewish nationhood first evolved somewhere between 1200 BCE and the late Second Temple era (i.e. up to 70 CE).[2][3] Two millennia after the Jewish diaspora, the modern Zionist movement, beginning in the late 19th century, was mainly founded by secular Jews.</p>
<p>The Organisation of African Unity and the Non-Aligned Movement passed resolutions condemning Zionism and equating it with racism and apartheid during the early 1970s. The United Nations General Assembly passed Resolution 3151 72 to 36, with 32 abstentions, in December 1973, stating that there was an &#8220;unholy alliance between South African racism and Zionism.&#8221; [35] Resolution 3379 passed in November 1975, supported by Arab, African and Soviet bloc states, declaring that &#8220;Zionism is a form of racism.&#8221;[36] [28]</p>
<p>As the war in Iraq began and the South Africa&#8217;s apartheid government and the Soviet Union collapsed, the resolution was repealed in 1991 with Resolution 4686, after Israel declared that it would only participate in the Madrid Conference of 1991 if the resolution were revoked</p>
<p>WHAT IS A ZIONIST</p>
<p>In the 1930&#8217;s Germans where NOT EVIL. Nazism and race supremecy was EVIL. Today Jews are NOT EVIL ,Zionism and race supremecy are EVIL.</p>
<p>There is a big difference between being a Saxon, a German, or a Nazi.Just because you are a Saxon does not make you German or a Nazi. The same is True of Jews , Israelis and Zionists. Just because you are Jewish does not mean you are an Israeli or a Zionist.</p>
<p>In the 1930&#8217;s not ALL Nazi&#8217;s where German , today not ALL Zionists are Jewish!</p>
<p>Christian Zionism is a belief among some Christians that the return of the Jews to the Holy Land, and the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, is in accordance with Biblical prophecy. It overlaps with, but is distinct from, the nineteenth century movement for the Restoration of the Jews to the Holy Land, which had both religiously and politically motivated supporters. The term Christian Zionism was popularized in the mid-twentieth century. Prior to that time the common term was Restorationism.[citation needed]</p>
<p>Some Christian Zionists believe that the &#8220;ingathering&#8221; of Jews in Israel is a prerequisite for the Second Coming of Jesus. This belief is primarily, though not exclusively, associated with Christian Dispensationalism. The idea that Christians should actively support a Jewish return to the Land of Israel, along with the parallel idea that the Jews ought to be encouraged to become Christian, as a means fulfilling a Biblical prophecy has been common in Protestant circles since the Reformation.[1][2][3].</p>
<p>Many Christian Zionists believe that the people of Israel remain part of the chosen people of God, see also Dual-covenant theology, along with the ingrafted (based on Romans 11:17-24, Holy Bible) Gentile Christians. This has the added effect of turning Christian Zionists into supporters of Jewish Zionism.</p>
<p>Hindu Zionists.Jews took asylum in India right from the year when the Temple was destroyed by Roman tyranny. India is one of the very few countries where anti-Semitism was non-existent. Hindus allowed Jews to self-govern 2000 years ago. Hence nationalist Hindus have a natural affinity for the Zionist movement. All right-wing Indian parties and organizations support the Zionist movement. In recent years India has been one of the most trusted partners of Israel.</p>
<p>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#Hindus_supporting_Zionism</p>
<p>The Jamaican nationalist Marcus Garvey formed a movement dedicated to returning Americans of African origin to Africa. During a speech in Harlem in 1920, Garvey stated: &#8220;other races were engaged in seeing their cause through—the Jews through their Zionist movement and the Irish through their Irish movement—and I decided that, cost what it might, I would make this a favorable time to see the Negro&#8217;s interest through.&#8221;[40] Garvey established a shipping company, the Black Star Line, to allow Black Americans to emigrate to Africa, but for various reasons failed in his endeavour.</p>
<p>Garvey helped inspire the Rastafari movement in Jamaica, the Black Jews[41] and the African Hebrew Israelites of Jerusalem who initially moved to Liberia before settling in Israel.</p>
<p>Political support for the Jewish return to the Land of Israel predates the formal organization of Jewish Zionism as a political movement. In the 19th century, advocates of the Restoration of the Jews to the Holy Land were called Restorationists. The return of the Jews to the Holy Land was widely supported by such eminent figures as Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, President John Adams of the United States, General Smuts of South Africa, President Masaryk of Czechoslovakia, philosopher and historian Benedetto Croce from Italy, Henry Dunant (founder of the Red Cross and author of the Geneva Conventions), and scientist and humanitarian Fridtjof Nansen from Norway.[citation needed]</p>
<p>The French government through Minister M. Cambon formally committed itself to &#8220;the renaissance of the Jewish nationality in that Land from which the people of Israel were exiled so many centuries ago&#8221;.</p>
<p>In China, top figures of the Nationalist government, including Sun Yat-sen, expressed their sympathy with the aspirations of the Jewish people for a National Home</p>
<p>ZIONISM AND NAZISM</p>
<p>Theodor Herzl (1860-1904), the founder of modern Zionism, recognized that anti-Semitism would further his cause, the creation of a separate state for Jews. To solve the Jewish Question, he maintained &#8220;we must, above all, make it an international political issue.&#8221;[1]Herzl wrote that Zionism offered the world a welcome &#8220;final solution of the Jewish question.&#8221;[2]In his &#8220;Diaries&#8221;, page 19, Herzl stated &#8220;Anti-Semites will become our surest friends, anti-Semitic countries our allies.&#8221;</p>
<p>Zionism was supported by the German SS and Gestapo.[3] [4] [5] [6] Hitler himself personally supported Zionism.[7] [8] During the 1930’s, in cooperation with the German authorities, Zionist groups organized a network of some 40 camps throughout Germany where prospective settlers were trained for their new lives in Palestine. As late as 1942 Zionists operated at least one of these officially authorized &#8220;Kibbutz&#8221; training camps[9] over which flew the blue and white banner which would one day be adopted as the national flag of &#8220;Israel&#8221;.[10]</p>
<p>The Transfer Agreement (which promoted the emigration of German Jews to Palestine) implemented in 1933 and abandoned at the beginning of WWII is an important example of the cooperation between Hitler’s Germany and international Zionism. [11] Through this agreement, Hitler’s Third Reich did more than any other government during the 1930’s to support Jewish development in Palestine and further the Zionist goals.</p>
<p>Hitler and the Zionists had a common goal: to create a world Jewish Ghetto as a solution to the Jewish Question.</p>
<p>The Zionist so-called &#8220;World Jewish Congress&#8221; declared war on the country of Germany,[12] [13] knowing that it would affect their Jewish brothers residing in that country who would be left without protection. When others tried to help them escape to other countries, the Zionist movement took actions which caused those countries to lock their doors to Jewish immigration (read more in the books, &#8220;Perfidy&#8221; and &#8220;Min Hametzer&#8221;). As a result of the Zionist influence five ships of Jewish refugees from Germany arriving in the United States were turned back to the gas chambers.</p>
<p>The fundamental aim of the Zionist movement has been not to save Jewish lives but to create a &#8220;Jewish state&#8221; in Palestine.</p>
<p>On December 7, 1938, Ben Gurion, the first head of the Zionist ‘state of Israel’ declared &#8220;If I knew it was possible to save all the children in Germany by taking them to England, and only half of the children by taking them to Eretz Israel, I would choose the second solution. For we must take into account not only the lives of these children but also the history of the people of Israel.&#8221;</p>

<p>In 1940, Lehi proposed intervening in World War II on the side of Nazi Germany. Late in 1940, Lehi representative Naftali Lubenchik was sent to Beirut where he met the German official Werner Otto von Hentig. Lubenchik told von Hentig that Lehi had not yet revealed its full power and that they were capable of organizing a whole range of anti-British operations.</p>
<p>the organization offered cooperation in the following terms: full cooperation in sabotage, espionage and intelligence and up to wide military operations in the Middle East and in eastern Europe anywhere where the Irgun had Jewish cells, active and trained and in some places with weapons. From the German side, the following declarations and actions were demanded: (1) Full recognition of an independent Jewish state in Palestine/Eretz Israel (2) That the ability to emigrate to Palestine be conceded to all Jews, with no restriction of numbers, who, in leaving their homes in Europe, by their own will or because of government injunctions.</p>
<p>On January 11, 1941 a letter by Lehi, which would be later referred to as the Ankara document, was sent from Vice Admiral Ralf von der Marwitz, the German Naval attaché in Ankara, depicting an offer to &#8220;actively take part in the war on Germany&#8217;s side&#8221; in return for German support for &#8220;the establishment of the historic Jewish state on a national and totalitarian basis, bound by a treaty with the German Reich.&#8221;</p>
<p>The letter was signed by Avraham Stern and the later Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir.</p>

<p>SO REMIND ME, WHY SHOULD I FEEL GUILTY ABOUT &#8220;THE HOLOCAUST&#8221;? ZIONISTS COLLABORATED WITH THE NAZIS AND ISRAELLIS PINNED MEDALS ON THESE NAZI COLLABORATORS AND VOTED THEM AS PRIME MINISTERS!!</p>
<p>MY GRANDFATHER FOUGHT THE NAZIS AND ZIONIST ISRAELI TERRORISTS TRIED TO KILL HIM!</p>
<p>ISRAELLIS AND ZIONISTS YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT VICTIMISATION, THE HOLOCAUST AND TERRORISM. GO F*CK YOURSELF!</p>
<p>THE HOLOCAUST CON</p>
<p>Even after 1989 when the collapse of the Iron Curtain opened access to previously unknown records regarding the number of deaths in concentration camps held by the Russians since liberation day and Israel was forced to officially change the plaque at Auschwitz with a revised total of Jewish deaths figure cutting into the six million Jews murdered by some two and a half million but still the Israeli propaganda machine claims the six million.</p>
<p>How can you go from 3 million deaths in Auschwitz ,down to 1 million BUT this has no effect on the 6 million total?</p>
<p>WE get this 6 million total from the Nurenberg trials!</p>
<p>The camp commandant, Rudolf Höß, testified at the Nuremberg Trials that up to 3 million people had died at Auschwitz. The Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum has revised this figure to 1.1 million</p>
<p>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Aus&#8230;centration_camp</p>
<p>Associate Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas charged that the Allies were guilty of &#8220;substituting power for principle&#8221; at Nuremberg. &#8220;I thought at the time and still think that the Nuremberg trials were unprincipled,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;Law was created ex post facto to suit the passion and clamor of the time.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The Tribunal shall not require proof of facts of common knowledge but shall take judicial notice thereof.&#8221;</p>
<p>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Nur&#8230;rials#Criticism</p>
<p>THEY CLAIMED 6 MILLION FOR WWI AS WELL. NOBODY BELIEVED THAT EITHER!!!</p>
<p>Do these people have no shame?Why do they think thier suffering is worse than anybody elses?</p>
<p>In 1919, commiserating, Martin Glynn, Governor of the State of New York publicized in North America the &#8220;holocaust of six million Jews and eight hundred thousand Jewish children&#8221; caused by &#8220;the tyranny of war and lust for Jewish blood&#8221; in Poland and Ukraine, while The New York Times and other Jewish media reported that Jews were burned alive by the thousands in synagogues in Ukraine [while Jews and synagogues survived the war intact]. Thus, Roosevelt, Churchill, Eisenhower and Pius XII cognizant of this soon-forgotten-fiction, remained silent about the second, this time capitalized with &#8220;H&#8221;, the six-million-victim Holocaust of WW II, a.k.a. Hubrn in Yiddish and Shoa in Hebrew.</p>
<p>THIS 6 MILLION, OF COURSE IS A LIE AS WELL!</p>
<p>FYI</p>
<p>SOVIET AND JAPANESE LABOUR CAMPS WHERE MUCH WORSE!</p>
<p>Soviet Gulag, or labor camps, led to the death of citizens of occupied countries such as Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, as well as German prisoners of war (POW)Sixty percent of Soviet POWs died during the war.[214] Richard Overy gives the number of 5.7 million Soviet POWs. Of those, 57% died or were killed, a total of 3.6 million.</p>
<p>Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, many of which were used as labour camps, also had high death rates. The International Military Tribunal for the Far East found the death rate of Western prisoners was 27.1 percent (for American POWs, 37 percent),[217] seven times that of POW&#8217;s under the Germans and Italians[218] The death rate among Chinese POWs was much larger;</p>
<p>10 million Chinese were mobilized by the Japanese army and enslaved by the Koa-in for slave labor in Manchukuo and north China.[221] Chinese were no longer protected under international law.[219] While 37,583 prisoners from the UK, 28,500 from the,Netherlands and 14,473 from United States were released after the surrender of Japan, the number for the Chinese was only 56</p>
<p>The U.S. Library of Congress estimates that in Java, between 4 and 10 million romusha (Japanese: &#8220;manual laborer&#8221;), were forced to work by the Japanese military. About 270,000 of these Javanese laborers were sent to other Japanese-held areas in South East Asia. Only 52,000 were repatriated to Java, meaning that there was a death rate of 80%</p>
<p>BUT I think the most people have managed to get over this now ,my Great Uncle was in one of these camps!!!</p>
<p>WHAT IS IT WITH THE JEWS?!?!?Why can they not get over this? The ZIONISTS collaborated with the Nazi&#8217;s!!</p>
<p>The Jewish hi-jacking of WWII Death camps is an INSULT to ALL those that died in these German ,Italian ,Japanese and ALLIED camps!!!! Especially the NON-JEWISH that died at the hands of Jewish Zionist agreed political philosophies!!!!</p>
<p>IMHO</p>
<p>ISRAEL SHOULD BE RE-IMBERSING THOSE NON-JEWS THAT DIED IN GERMAN DEATH CAMPS</p>
<p>ZIONIST TERRORISM</p>
<p>The Abomination of Israel claims to be VICTIMS OF TERRORISM!??!?</p>
<p>JEWISH/ZIONIST TERRORISM</p>
<p>Terror was a policy first adopted by Zionists. The first airplane hijacking was committed by Israel in 1954 when a civilian Syrian airliner was hijacked shortly after the plane took off. Zionists invented the car bomb, and Zionists were the first to assassinate United Nations personnel as well as attack their own allies, such as the attack on the USS Liberty in 1967. Today no one seems to remember the Zionist truck-bomb which blew up Jerusalems King David hotel killing around 200 in 1946. Not many even know that on October 14, 1953, an elite unit under command of current Prime Minister Ariel Sharon attacked the village of Qibya in Jordan.</p>
<p>The King David Hotel bombing was a deadly bomb attack by the Irgun, a militant Zionist group, on the headquarters of the British Mandatory authorities of Palestine, located at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. The offensive was carried out on 22 July 1946 and was the deadliest attack against the British during the Mandate era (1920-1948).</p>
<p>leader of the Irgun, Menachem Begin, (who became a Prime minister of Israel.)</p>
<p>This led to recriminations between the Haganah and Irgun later. The Haganah said that they had specified that the attack should take place later in the day, when the offices would have been emptier of people.</p>
<p>After placing the bombs, the Irgun men quickly slipped out and detonated a small explosive in the street outside the hotel to keep passers-by away from the area*. The police report written in the aftermath of the bombing says that this explosion resulted in a higher death toll because it caused spectators from the hotel to gather in its south-west corner, directly over the bomb planted in its basement, and it also caused the presence there of injured Arabs who were brought into the Secretariat after their bus, which was passing, was rolled onto its side</p>
<p>(*This sounds like nonsense , when have you heard of a smaller bomb being used to scare people away before a larger bomb explodes? Smaller bombs will only bring rescue and ambulane services and onlookers etc&#8230;and it just happened to go off when a bus full of ARABS was passing, and the recriminations between Haganah and Irgun sugests maybe the Irgun wanted a high death toll,but this is just conjecture on my part.)</p>
<p>By nationality, there were 41 Arabs, 28 British citizens, 17 Jews, 2 Armenians, 1 Russian, 1 Greek and 1 Egyptian. 46 people were injured.</p>
<p>WAS THIS SACRIFICE FOR AN ISRAELI STATE? NO</p>
<p>The attack on the King David Hotel did not impede progress toward an Anglo-American agreement on Palestine, which was then in its concluding phase</p>
<p>In a letter dated July 25, 1946, Prime Minister Atlee wrote to U.S. President President Harry S. Truman: &#8220;I am sure you will agree that the inhuman crime committed in Jerusalem on 22 July calls for the strongest action against terrorism but having regard to the sufferings of the innocent Jewish victims of Nazism this should not deter us from introducing a policy designed to bring peace to Palestine with the least possible delay.&#8221;</p>
<p>THIS SHOWS GREAT RESTRAINT FROM THE BRITISH BUT YOU ISRAELI&#8217;S COULD BE RIGHT AND YES MAYBE BRITAIN SHOULD OF STOPPED ALL NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE JEWISH TERRORISTS AND STOPPED THE CREATION OF A JEWISH STATE AND BLOCKADE THE JEWISH QUARTER AND IF ANYONE RESISTS WE CARPET BOMB THE AREA AND SEND THE TANKS IN.BUT I THINK THIS RESPONSE WOULD NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM,SO WHY DO YOU THINK IT WILL TODAY?</p>
<p>The bombing appears as a subject in the study of terrorism and its history. It has been called one of the most lethal terrorist attacks of the 20th century (Rapoport 2004, pp. 50-51).[16] A book on political terrorism published in 2006 theorises that it provided a model for bombings in the 1980s. [17] In relation to the historical significance of the way the Irgun fought, Begin himself said: &#8220;We actually provided the example of what the urban guerrilla is, we created the method of the urban guerrilla.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Irgun&#8217;s radio network announced that it would mourn for the Jewish victims. It would not mourn for the British ones, though, the reason given being that Britain had not mourned for the millions of Jews who died in the Nazi Holocaust. No mention was made of the largest group of victims, the Arab dead</p>
<p>THIS I FIND PERSONALLY INSULTING. MY FAMILY FOUGHT THE NAZI&#8217;S.THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS WOULD OF BEEN UP AND RUNNING FOR A LOT LONGER IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE SACRIFICE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS! HOW MANY LIVES, JEWISH, SLAVIC, GYPSY,HANDICAPPED, COMMUNIST , HOMOSEXUAL,TRADE UNIONIST ETC ETC ETC DID MY FAMILY SAVE?? I&#8221;LL TELL YOU ,A HELL OF A LOT MORE THAN Menachem Begin,AND THE WHOLE ZIONIST MOVEMENT, JEWISH LIVES OR OTHERWISE!!! AND STILL NOT ONE WORD OF THANKS FROM THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.IT STILL JUST SCREAMS VICTIM. BTW DO THE ISRAELIS HOLD ANY SERVICES FOR THE MILLIONS OF NON-JEWS THAT DIED IN THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS?</p>
<p>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David_Hotel_Bombing</p>
<p>1880s: Zionists begin settling in Palestine. Years earlier, wealthy Arabs had taken advantage of the Ottoman Land Code to register in their names land that didn’t really belong to them. The Zionists would typically purchase the &#8220;rights&#8221; to the land from these absentee landlords, then kick out the land’s Palestinian inhabitants, leaving them homeless and jobless.</p>
<p>1928: The Wailing Wall incident. The Palestinian Arabs, justly upset with being kicked off their land by the settlers, had by this point grown suspicious of the settlers (as had Palestine’s indigenous Jewish population). A disagreement over rights to the Wailing Wall erupted into a riot, with hundreds killed on both sides.</p>
<p>1936-1939: Palestinians go on a General Strike as a demonstration for self-determination. The strike turns into a revolt. The Zionists, aided by the British, respond with incredible force. 329 Jews are killed; 3,293 Arabs are killed.</p>
<p>1938: Irgun terrorists kill 76 Arabs by setting off bombs in markets and other public places. When an Irgun member is arrested by the British, the Irgun killed another 52 Arabs.</p>
<p>1939: The British decide to limit Jewish immigration. The Irgun responds, killing 27 Arabs.</p>
<p>**Throughout the 1930s, Zionists killed 338 Brits, assassinate 40 Jews, hijack a Syrian airliner, and invent the letter bomb.**</p>
<p>1940s: Zionists urge Western governments not to accept Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany. Chaim Weitzman’s cohort Greenbaum says, &#8220;One cow in Palestine is worth more than all the Jews in Europe.&#8221;</p>
<p>1941: Stern Gang proposes to form Jewish state &#8220;on a national and totalitarian basis, which will establish relations with the German Reich&#8221; and protect Nazi interests in the Middle East.</p>
<p>1944: Stern Gang kills British minister of state Lord Moyne (who had favored a Palestinian state) in Cairo.</p>
<p>1947: Zionists kill international mediator Count Bernadotte, who’d saved thousands of Jew from the camps during World War II.</p>
<p>1947-1949: Zionists commence campaign of ethnic cleansing, committing scores of massacres in Palestinian villages (most famously Deir Yassin) and driving 700,000+ from their homes.</p>
<p>1948: Zionists declare independence for the state of Israel, despite the fact that the General Assembly resolution proposing partition was not legally binding. Evidence indicates that they’d planned to annex the area allocated in the partition plan for the &#8220;Jewish state&#8221;, and divide up the rest of Palestine between themselves and Jordan. In the ensuing conflict, thousands died on both sides.</p>
<p>1948 – 1964: Palestinians in Israeli territory live under military rule. They aren’t legally permitted to vote or join labor unions. During this time (and still today), Palestinians are subject to humiliation, collective punishment, torture, and seizure of land and resources. Economic conditions and standards of living for those in the Occupied Territories are abysmal.</p>
<p>1950s: Ariel Sharon forms Unit 101. Unit 101 conducts numerous raids in which they massacre Arab civilians. Sharon personally slit the throats of sleeping Egyptian soldiers. He chewed out his officers for not killing two old Arabs when they had the opportunity. He laughed as a junior officer tormented an old Arab and then shot him at close range. He ordered his men to ambush and kill two Jordanian women and their way to a well. In 1953, Unit 101 sneaked into the West Bank village of Qibya, where they slaughtered 53 civilians.</p>
<p>1950-1951: Israeli agents bomb Jewish community centers in Iraq, hoping to inspire Iraqi Jews to come to Israel. Subsequently, Israel promises aid to Iraq if it revokes Jewish citizenship. Iraq does, and Israel responds generously.</p>
<p>1954: The Lavon Affair. Ben Gurion, wanting to provoke a war with Egypt, sends Israeli agents to attack American installations in Egypt, hoping the blame would be placed on the Egyptians. Ben Gurion blames the incident on his Defense Minister, Pinchas Lavon.</p>
<p>1955: Israel raids Gaza for no apparent reason. 37 are killed.</p>
<p>1956: The Sinai Campaign. Israel invades Egypt. At the same time, thousands more Palestinians – Israeli Arabs – are expelled from their homes. After the war, Israeli forces kill hundreds of Palestinians and loot their homes in the Gaza Strip.</p>
<p>1967: Six Day War. Israel conquers East Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Gaza Strip. Around half a million Arabs are expelled from the conquered territories. 778 Israelis died in the Six Day War. Over 20,000 Arabs died. The USS Liberty is attacked, perhaps deliberately.</p>
<p>1968: Israel bombs Beirut Airport, destroying 13 civilian airliners.</p>
<p>1970s: Israel bombs civilian targets throughout Lebanon repeatedly, killing thousands. Also during this period, Israel begins sponsoring the terrorist South Lebanon Army.</p>
<p>1973: Yom Kippur War: Body Count: 2,552 Israelis; 15,000 Arabs.</p>
<p>1976: Israelis hijack Lebanese Muslim boats and give them to the SLA.</p>
<p>1978: Israel invades Lebanon, committing numerous atrocities and leveling entire villages. In once case, Israeli Lt. Daniel Pinto binds four Lebanese peasants hand and foot, tortured them, strangled them to death, and tossed them down a well. In another instance, the SLA herded 70 Muslims into a mosque and massacred them, while Israeli forces kept out reporters. 2,000 Arabs are dead by the end of this adventure.</p>
<p>1981: Israel bombs an Iraqi nuclear plant.</p>
<p>1982: Israel invades Lebanon again. The scale of the destruction is incredible. Israel bulldozes half the building in Beirut. Hundreds of Palestinians are killed in the destruction of the Rashidiyeh refugee camp. Anti-personnel bombs are used on the trapped residents of the Ein Hilweih refugee camp. Cluster and phosphorous bombs are dropped on school, orphanages, and hospitals. Ariel Sharon presides over the massacre of 800-3,000 in the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps. The final body count: 487 Israelis and over 30,000 Arabs.</p>
<p>1982-present: Israel engages in limited military activity in Lebanon, killing thousands.</p>
<p>1985: 70 Tunisians and Palestinians killed in Tunis by Israel. 60 killed during Israel’s hijacking of an Egyptian airliner. Israelis kill two CBS cameramen.</p>
<p>1986: Israelis hijack Libyan airliner.</p>
<p>1987: The Intifada begins. Memorable for scenes of Israeli soldiers responding to stone-throwing demonstrations with live ammo. The practice of torture and collective punishment intensifies. Thousands are imprisoned without just cause. Journalists are barred from the Occupied Territories without a military escort. Numerous atrocities are committed, including the burying of four Palestinians alive by Israeli soldiers.</p>
<p>1990: Israeli soldiers massacre 27 worshippers at Al-Aqsa mosque.</p>
<p>1993: Israel and the PLO agree to the Oslo accords. The Intifada officially ends. The kill ratio: over 10 Palestinians to every Israeli.</p>
<p>1993-2000: Oslo in many ways tightens Israeli control over the Palestinians. More here: http://electronicintifada.net/referencelibrary/hrdocs/d&#8230; The number of settlements increases greatly during this period.</p>
<p>1995: Yitzhak Rabin assassinated by right-wing Israeli.</p>
<p>1996: Settlers and soldiers kill Palestinians during dawn prayers El-Ebrahimia Sanctuary.</p>
<p>2000: Ariel Sharon pays a provocative visit to the Temple Mount accompanied by large contingent of soldiers. Palestinians throw stones at the soldiers, who respond with live gunfire, killing 7 and wounding 250. The Al-Aqsa Intifada begins.</p>
<p>2000-Present: The Al-Aqsa Intifada. There is much more deadly violence from the Palestinian side during this intifada. The Palestinians are better-armed, but Israel still much more powerful. Israel intensifies its practices of torture (now officially illegal in Israel, but still widespread), collective punishment, land seizure, humiliation, and assassination. Human rights organizations are united in condemning Israel’s &#8220;retaliatory&#8221; actions as disproportionately deadly. 3 Palestinians are killed for every Israeli killed. 40 Palestinians are hospitalized for every Israeli wounded. According to the Shin Bet’s own statistics, almost 80 percent of those killed have no connection to any armed action against Israel. Israel’s conduct is described as &#8220;state terrorism&#8221; in a UN report.</p>
<p>&#8220;We will have to kill them all&#8221;: Effie Eitam, thug messiah</p>
<p>Jim Holstun and Irene Morrison</p>
<p>Colonel Efraim (Fein) Eitam was only following orders when he told his troops to beat Ayyad Aqel in 1988. They beat him to death.</p>
<p>Eitam, who since then has held several senior posts in the Israeli government, has recently toured the US as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s &#8220;Special Emissary&#8221; to the &#8220;Caravan for Democracy&#8221;</p>
<p>In a long interview with the Israeli daily Haaretz, Eitam called Palestinian citizens of Israel a &#8220;ticking bomb&#8221; and a &#8220;cancer&#8221; (&#8220;Dear God, this is Effi&#8221;, 20 March 2002). Nations other than Israel are a &#8220;world of robots without souls.&#8221; In classic fascist fashion, he stated that in war the most &#8220;sublime things in man appear.&#8221; He seems to believe that he is the Messiah, saying his mission is &#8220;to save the people of Israel and the State of Israel.&#8221; Such a leader, Eitam said, &#8220;also leads the Jewish people. He stands in the place where not only Ben-Gurion stood, but where Moses, too, stood. Where King David stood. So how does one do that, yet remain modest? How does one not get lost between coalition agreements and political intrigues, and a process that involves the very order of nature and the order of the heavens and the earth?&#8221; (&#8220;Continuation of Dear God, this is Effi&#8221;, Haaretz, 20 March 2002).</p>
<p>&#8220;The Palestinians&#8221; would be crushed like grasshoppers &#8230; heads smashed against the boulders and walls.&#8221; &#8221; Isreali Prime Minister (at the time) in a speech to Jewish settlers New York Times April 1, 1988</p>
<p>&#8220;We have to kill all the Palestinians unless they are resigned to live here as slaves.&#8221; Chairman Heilbrun of the Committee for the Re-election of General Shlomo Lahat, the mayor of Tel Aviv, October 1983.</p>
<p>&#8220;We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.&#8221; Israel Koenig, &#8220;The Koenig Memorandum&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We enthusiastically chose to become a colonial society, ignoring international treaties, expropriating lands, transferring settlers from Israel to the occupied territories, engaging in theft and finding justification for all these activities. Passionately desiring to keep the occupied territories, we developed two judicial systems: one &#8211; progressive, liberal &#8211; in Israel; and the other &#8211; cruel, injurious &#8211; in the occupied territories. In effect, we established an apartheid regime in the occupied territories immediately following their capture. That oppressive regime exists to this day.&#8221;</p>
<p>(Michael Ben-Yair, 3 March 2002)</p>
<p>&#8220;We Jews, we are the destroyers and will remain the destroyers. Nothing you can do will meet our demands and needs. We will forever destroy because we want a world of our own.&#8221; (You Gentiles, by Jewish Author Maurice Samuels, p. 155).</p>
<p>&#8220;Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don’t worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it.&#8221;</p>
<p>- Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, October 3, 2001.</p>
<p>THE INVENTION OF ABRAHAMIC MONOTHEISM</p>
<p>Judaism , like Christianity and Islam ,is an invention for material empire building. Abrahamic Monotheism is nothing more than original fascism.</p>
<p>Judaism was invented by the Persian Cyrus the Great. The habiru/hebrews of Egypt where SET worshippers that where converted to Zoroastrian monotheism and then sent to run a Persian puppet state. That is why Cyrus the Great was the last recorded Messiah of Judaism and it was Cyrus the Great that built the Temple.</p>
<p>http://cuthulan.wordpress.com/2009/09/02/the-invention-of-judaism/</p>
<p>Christianity was invented by Constantine at the Council of Niceae c.325AD where the Roman Saviour god Hesus Krishna was VOTED into existance 161 to 157.It was supposed to Unite his new Roman empire.It was originally monotheistic Mithra sun worship combined with Druidism and Egyptian Greek and Hindu philosophy.Messianic Judaism became the state religion of the Byzantine empire in c.787AD.The &#8220;christianity&#8221; we know today was only re-invented after the fall of Constantinople in the 15th century.</p>
<p>http://cuthulan.wordpress.com/2009/09/02/the-invention-of-christianity/</p>
<p>Islam was the invention of Arabic Messianic Jews. Combining tribal Quraysh moon worship with the myths of a &#8220;heretical&#8221; messianic Judaism.</p>

<p>FYI</p>
<p>THE WORD OF GOD? OR THE WORD OF MAN?</p>
<p>The Bible, presumed to be the perfect word of a perfect God, still teaches that the Earth is flat, rests on pillars (Job 26:11), and does not move (Psalms 19:5-6 93:1 96:10 104:5).</p>
<p>THE ZIONIST INQUISITION STILL WITCH HUNTING AND BOOK BURNING IN THE 21ST CENTURY</p>
<p>JEWISH DNA</p>
<p>A keynote research paper showing that Middle Eastern Jews and Palestinians are genetically almost identical has been pulled from a leading journal.</p>
<p>Academics who have already received copies of Human Immunology have been urged to rip out the offending pages and throw them away.</p>
<p>Such a drastic act of self-censorship is unprecedented in research publishing and has created widespread disquiet, generating fears that it may involve the suppression of scientific work that questions Biblical dogma.</p>
<p>&#8216;I have authored several hundred scientific papers, some for Nature and Science, and this has never happened to me before,&#8217; said the article&#8217;s lead author, Spanish geneticist Professor Antonio Arnaiz-Villena, of Complutense University in Madrid. &#8216;I am stunned.&#8217;</p>
<p>British geneticist Sir Walter Bodmer added: &#8216;If the journal didn&#8217;t like the paper, they shouldn&#8217;t have published it in the first place. Why wait until it has appeared before acting like this?&#8217;</p>
<p>The journal&#8217;s editor, Nicole Sucio-Foca, of Columbia University, New York, claims the article provoked such a welter of complaints over its extreme political writing that she was forced to repudiate it. The article has been removed from Human Immunology&#8217;s website, while letters have been written to libraries and universities throughout the world asking them to ignore or &#8216;preferably to physically remove the relevant pages&#8217;. Arnaiz-Villena has been sacked from the journal&#8217;s editorial board.</p>
<p>Dolly Tyan, president of the American Society of Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics, which runs the journal, told subscribers that the society is &#8216;offended and embarrassed&#8217;.</p>
<p>The paper, &#8216;The Origin of Palestinians and their Genetic Relatedness with other Mediterranean Populations&#8217;, involved studying genetic variations in immune system genes among people in the Middle East.</p>
<p>In common with earlier studies, the team found no data to support the idea that Jewish people were genetically distinct from other people in the region. In doing so, the team&#8217;s research challenges claims that Jews are a special, chosen people and that Judaism can only be inherited.</p>
<p>Jews and Palestinians in the Middle East share a very similar gene pool and must be considered closely related and not genetically separate, the authors state. Rivalry between the two races is therefore based &#8216;in cultural and religious, but not in genetic differences&#8217;, they conclude&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>One of them said: &#8216;If Arnaiz-Villena had found evidence that Jewish people were genetically very special, instead of ordinary, you can be sure no one would have objected to the phrases he used in his article. This is a very sad business.&#8217;</p>
<p>http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2001/nov/25/medicalscience.genetics</p>
<p>&#8220;The claim that there are Jewish genes is ridiculous and unscientific,&#8221; Kamel Katalo, professor of Sociology at Al-Khalil University</p>
<p>FYI</p>
<p>GOOD JEWS</p>
<p>Albert Eistein, the renowned scientist, who declined an invitation to become Israel&#8217;s second president, rejected the idea that the Jews are God&#8217;s chosen people.</p>
<p>&#8220;For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people.&#8221;</p>
<p>And he added: &#8220;As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups,&#8230; I cannot see anything &#8216;chosen&#8217; about them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jews, Christians and Muslims United Against zionism</p>

<p>Toronto: Wednesday January 8, 2009 Time: 10:25 am</p>
<p>A diverse group of Jewish Canadian women are currently occupying the Israeli consulate at 180 Bloor Street West in Toronto. This action is in protest against the on-going Israeli assault on the people of Gaza.</p>
<p>The group is carrying out this occupation in solidarity with the 1.5 million people of Gaza and to ensure that Jewish voices against the massacre in Gaza are being heard. They are demanding that Israel end its military assault and lift the 18-month siege on the Gaza Strip to allow humanitarian aid into the territory.</p>
<p>Israel has been carrying out a full-scale military assault on the Gaza Strip since December 27, 2008. At least 660 people have been killed and 3000 injured in the air strikes and in the ground invasion that began on January 3, 2009. Israel has ignored international calls for a ceasefire and is refusing to allow food, adequate medical supplies and other necessities of life into the Gaza Strip.</p>
<p>Protesters are outraged at Israel&#8217;s latest assault on the Palestinian people and by the Canadian government&#8217;s refusal to condemn these massacres.They are deeply concerned that Canadians are hearing the views of pro-Israel groups who are being represented as the only voice of Jewish Canadians. The protesters have occupied the consulate to send a clear statement that many Jewish-Canadians do not support Israel&#8217;s violence and apartheid policies. They are joining with people of conscience all across the world who are demanding an end to Israeli aggression and justice for the Palestinian people.</p>
<p>The group includes: Judy Rebick, professor; Judith Deutsch, psychoanalyst and president of Science for Peace; B.H. Yael, filmmaker; Smadar Carmon, a Canadian Israeli peace activist and others.</p>
<p>Spokespersons for the group are outside the Israeli consulate.</p>

<p>Jews plan Israel&#8217;s boycott</p>
<p>The JC has revealed plans developed by Jews For Justice For Palestinians (JFJFP) to cause maximum damage to Israel by extending boycotts.</p>
<p>At the anti-Israel organisation’s recent annual meeting, activists discussed a survey of its members which showed clear support for a comprehensive boycott. More than 400 JFJFP activists responded to the survey.</p>
<p>The meeting considered three options, based on the survey results: &#8220;1. That we maintain our present position; 2. That we will consider, on a case-by-case basis, smart boycotts against the occupation; 3. That we will consider, on a case-by-case basis, smart boycotts but</p>
<p>not restricted to the occupation.&#8221;</p>
<p>The meeting voted for the third option, which would enable JFJFP to initiate or support boycotts of all Israeli goods and services.</p>
<p>In a letter sent to members on Monday, after the meeting, the executive recommends option two, which would widen the group’s activities beyond its current focus on the settlements to taking in everything connected to what it terms the &#8220;occupation&#8221;.</p>
<p>This would mean boycotting companies, goods and services that could be shown to be connected directly to the Occupied Territories. That would include targeting those who refuse to say whether or not they worked in the Occupied Territories.</p>
<p>In explaining the detail of this option, the JFJFP executive say: &#8220;By targeting Israel’s policy of colonisation, this also avoids the accusation — important for an organisation like JFJFP — of being anti-Israel.&#8221;</p>
<p>Recommending option two, the executive say it is, among other things, best &#8220;for minimising the inevitable misrepresentation of our position in such a way as to make work directed at those who belong to Jewish communal organisations much harder than it is at present&#8221;.</p>
<p>The survey shows that the executive is worried about the impact of adopting a wider boycott strategy on the group’s reputation among Jews. Question two asks: &#8220;Do you think adopting a broader boycott position would make JFJFP more, or less, attractive to Jews in Britain who take issue with Israeli policy but have not chosen to express that concern by becoming a JFJFP signatory?&#8221;</p>
<p>Two-hundred and forty seven out of the 417 respondents said they thought JFJFP would be much less attractive. Another 96 stayed neutral.</p>
<p>JFJFP currently supports a ban on the importation of all settlement produce and claims it was &#8220;a very significant contributor to the process whereby the UK government strongly objected to the mislabelling of goods produced in the occupied Palestinian territories&#8221;.</p>
<p>It also supports the boycott of companies such as Caterpillar, which it says is &#8220;involved in home demolitions and the destruction of, for example, olive groves in order to build the barrier&#8221;.</p>
<p>It backs the boycott of companies involved in supporting settlements and demands &#8220;an end to the sale of arms to Israel and any purchase of arms or security equipment from Israel&#8221;.</p>
<p>The meeting also included a series of workshops exploring how anti-Israel activists should respond to various situations, using recent events as the basis for discussion.</p>
<p>These included the Zionist Federation’s hire of the Bloomsbury Theatre, the Edinburgh Film Festival’s acceptance of Israeli sponsorship and the announcement of a Leonard Cohen concert in Israel.</p>

<p>Breaking the Israeli water siege</p>
<p>International Solidarity Movement (ISM)</p>
<p>August 7, 2009 &#8211; ISM</p>
<p>International human rights activists together with Israelis and Palestinians escorted a convoy of water tankers, breaking the Israeli water siege of the village Qarawat Bani Zaid and delivering water to residents.</p>
<p>At 12 pm ISM activists and other Internationals set off from Al Manara, Ramallah, to join the water convoy. After departure, passing checkpoints and settlements, the convoy could, without further delay, cross the border into the Palestinian Authority controlled Qarawat Bani Zaid, arriving at 15.00 pm.</p>
<p>Banners proclaiming &#8220;End the water siege&#8221; and &#8220;No More Thirst&#8221; in Arabic, Hebrew and English were exchanged and held up by Palestinian, Israeli and Internationals throughout the water delivery.</p>
<p>http://uruknet.com/?p=m56749&#38;hd=&#38;size=1&#38;l=e</p>
<p>Breaking the Silence&#8221; is a member of the Israeli human rights, peace and social justice community. The group’s only crime, so it seems, lies in its effort to offer an alternative ethical voice in a society that is arguably losing its way. Breaking the Silence provides a platform for soldiers to testify to acts of violence and other violations of Palestinian rights that they may have witnessed or taken part in during their service in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The group’s most recent report details soldier testimonies that raised serious concerns about Israeli military behavior during the war on Gaza, &#8220;Operation Cast Lead.&#8221; The publication is unique but it is only one example of many public statements, reports and legal advocacy in response to the prosecution of the war, which Israel consistently maintains was both moral and legal. Why then is the Israeli government waging a battle against this organization, trying to thwart its funding and, essentially, to shut it down?</p>
<p>The answer, perhaps, lies in the genealogy of the occupation. For 42 years Israel has argued its one acceptable and official truth: &#8220;Israel is not an occupier and it is not violating international law.&#8221; The problem is that this narrative has been accepted only by Israel, tolerated by the United States, and perpetuated by a broad spectrum of Israel’s &#8220;supporters,&#8221; largely in North America and Western Europe. In the aftermath of the war the Netanyahu government feels threatened by US President Barack Obama’s demands to halt one of Israel’s most visible violations of international law, settlement building. Part of the Israeli reaction is to try to manipulate discourse and impugn those who have exposed Israeli infractions over the years, choosing to begin with an organization that provides the public with direct insight into the behavior of soldiers. Ironically in its actions the government actually corroborates the group’s work and that of other organizations who report and represent the voices of the Palestinian abject Other, the torture victims, those evicted from their homes, denied access to their fields and those beaten by settlers with impunity.</p>
<p>As reported by the Israeli daily Haaretz, Israel has been inquiring into foreign funding of Breaking the Silence, asking what state would tolerate outside funding of opposition groups, implying that only in the &#8220;third-world&#8221; would this be acceptable. Reality, as always, is a bit different. In states that can at best be described as questionable democracies the status of civil society organizations is questioned. Their funding is scrutinized and even forbidden and these states, like Iran, for instance, often claim that democratic and human rights activity is an effort by outsiders to undermine their regimes. On the other hand, democratic states can live very comfortably with a vibrant, vociferous and critical civil society.</p>
<p>In Israel there are many organizations that struggle for human rights, economic justice, equality and peace largely funded by a variety of overseas sources, none of which are secret or used for illegal purposes. Therefore it is interesting that while Israeli governments have had no problem with an ongoing influx of foreign currency that contributes to or facilitates the illegal Israeli occupation activity: evictions of Palestinians in East Jerusalem, the illegal settlement enterprise, etc., it has grave problems with those who dare fund democratic opposition to the occupation and to human rights violations. For Jews and others in democratic societies outside of Israel this should be an especially vexing absurdity. But for years the Jewish communities of North America, for example, have supported Israeli policy at times without question, allowing Israel’s flawed vision of its actions to become hegemonic. Today there is a counter voice among Jews in the Diaspora and in Israel yet our legitimacy is questioned and our motives distorted by those whose core goal is to preserve the occupation. Recent efforts to gag opposition voices are evidence of this intolerable anti-democratic trend.</p>
<p>While it is true that many states do their best to close down non-governmental organizations who oppose state policy this list does not include proper democratic states. Israel needs to decide where it belongs.</p>

<p>CONCLUSION</p>
<p>Jews are no better or worse than the rest of us. Zionism is no better than Nazism or Apartide South Africa. There is NO jewish &#8220;race&#8221; and the Palestinians are SEMITES and are closer to the direct decendants of &#8220;Moses&#8221; than the modern &#8220;Jew&#8221; who is from a JAPHETIC line. A Zionist is an ANTI-SEMITE .The abomi-Nation of Israel has no VALID right to exist. Its continued existance just causes mass suffering and bloodshed, it should go the same way as Nazi Germany , Apartide South Africa or Soviet Russia. Abrahamic monotheism is original fascism and has done nothing but hold back humanity in its struggle to find meaning in the universe. With its nililistic &#8220;End of Days&#8221; beliefs ,it is a mental disease that threatens humanities very existance! The &#8220;Holocaust&#8221; is a Zionist con and an insult to all that died in labour camps. 10 million Chinese died in Japanese labour camps ,this is a documented FACT!!</p>
<p>Hopefully we are seeing the last death throws of Abrahamic monotheism and the end of Israel. Humanity can then ALL join together to build a future beyond anything we can even imagine today &#8230;&#8230;..or wait to see what new form evil will take to torment us.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>What’s this? Not like the politically correct fellows at the BBC to venture into such dangerous territory:</p>
<p><a href="//news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/8382132.stm" target="_blank">Mein Kampf A Hit On Dhaka Streets</a></p>
<p>Street vendors in the Bangladeshi capital, we’re told, have discovered an “unusual bestseller”. One such colporteur, Mabul, informed Auntie Beeb that Mein Kampf is in constant demand and “all the rage among educated people”. Sales were particularly strong in the week running up to the <a href="//robertbonnett.com/2009/11/27/eid-al-adha-in-russia/" target="_blank">Eid al-Adha</a> Islamic holiday owing to the book’s popularity as a gift for friends and family.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3171" title="Mein Kampf Arabic" src="http://robertbonnett.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mein-kampf-arabic.jpg" alt="" width="488" height="750" /></p>
<p>But, “unusual bestseller”? Really? That Hitler’s autobiographical political manifesto should be in the same league as Dan Brown’s latest effort in a country with a predominantly Muslim population should come as no great surprise. It has for decades sold well in many parts of the Islamic world. What the article fails to address is why this is so.</p>
<p>If some people are to be believed, Islam and Nazism are two peas in a pod. “Churchill even observed the similarities between the Qur’an and Mein Kampf,” is the usual line put forward to bolster such claims. And it’s true, he did. I would, even as someone with a very positive outlook towards Islam, have to concede that vague parallels exist between the two books. Emphasis here on the word “vague”. Progressive and encouraging passages in the Qur’an far outweigh those of an unfavourable nature. The same can’t be said of Mein Kampf.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3172" title="Islam Nazism" src="http://robertbonnett.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/islam-nazism.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="363" /></p>
<p>The oft cited connection between Hitler’s regime and the Islamic extremists of the day – a relationship, incidentally, that many try to brush under <span style="text-decoration:line-through;">their prayer mats</span> the carpet – overlooks the countless Muslims who fought and opposed the Nazis. But, as with the superficial similitude between Mein Kampf and the Qur’an, said union has wrongly led some Muslims to believe they share the same goals and ideals as Hitler, and many non-Muslims to unfairly paint Islam as little short of Nazism.</p>
<p>It’s not – although, admittedly, some Muslims do behave like Nazis . . . .</p>

<p>When I graduated from high school, I had been pretty much colonialized. I was a Manchild caught in a dilemma between being a street hustler, thug or a factory worker. My high school experience at a predominately white school had only reaffirmed and reinforced my interiority complex. Being Black, I truly believed that I had no other options.</p>
<p>I wasn’t a hustler. I truly loved my sisters. To me, my sisters were truly beautiful and fascinating. I didn’t have the heart or desire to live a life taking advantage of them.  I loved to read and write poetry rhymes. I was completely satisfied to find a dark counter at the public library with a stack of books and read my life away.</p>
<p>I couldn’t be a thug. I had gained a decent reputation as an accomplished street fighter, but I didn’t have the heart or desire to harm anyone. I was a good athlete too, but I didn’t have the money or resources to pay for a physical or the equipment to play high school sports.</p>
<p>I wasn’t a factory worker. Most of my in-laws made a pretty good living at the Chevrolet Plant in Fremont or other factories. I loved the outdoors. My favorite past time was being in the open air and basting in the sun at a local city park like Lincoln Square Recreation Center in Downtown Oakland. I loved exploring the shores of Jack London Square where I spent vast hours alone walking along the shores of the coastal waters. Growing up to be a self realizing Blackman wasn’t an option.  </p>
<p>After graduating from high school, I didn’t know what to do with my life. My dream was to be a railroad Pullman porter and melt away into a life of invisibility and interiority. I was hopelessly confused.</p>
<p>One day, I followed a couple of sisters that graduated with my class to a local college. They were twins, Brenda and Glenda. My cousin had married Glenda as a high school sweetheart joined the military and left for the Vietnam conflict in Southeast Asia. I had a puppy dog crush on Brenda. I had dreams of marrying Brenda and joining my cousin in Southeast Asia and returning home a decorated war hero. I had no idea what war was other than a stage show on a Hollywood set. I was in a fantasy and extremely naïve.</p>
<p>When I broke through the glass double doors of Merritt Jr. College at 59<sup>th</sup> and Grove, my life changed. I had never been on a college campus in my life. There were girls of every description everywhere. It was another playground for a Manchild. I decided then that I wanted to be a college student.</p>
<p>I had absolutely no idea how to read a college schedule. I picked my classes regardless of the times, days, units or prerequisites. I picked my classes by looking at the titles, “hum-hum-this sounds good, this looks good, and this sounds good.” I had no idea what a prerequisite was. I had no idea what a class conflict was. One day, a couple of older sisters noticed that filling out a class schedule was beyond my understanding, and sat down with me and showed me how to fill it out properly. A white college counselor had signed my class schedule conflicts and all, like 25 class credit units. He didn’t care. He assumed that I wouldn’t be there long.</p>
<p>At Merritt, Brenda had found another brother as a suitor. I was somewhat broken hearted that I couldn’t join my cousin in matrimony and in Vietnam. My heart and attention then went to a beautiful young lady from Richmond named Johnnie. The word in the grapevine was that she was hard as rocks. She had come up hard, very hard actually fighting grown men off her. The amazing thing was she had been successful. Nobody got close to her. Johnnie was tough as nails, but we had a lot of laughs and good times.</p>
<p>A relationship with Johnnie was difficult if not impossible. She had been claimed by one of the most notorious thugs in Richmond. It was suicide to be caught anyplace near her. I found Johnnie regardless of her background, sweet, gentle, quiet and kind. Our affection was mutual. Our moments together were confined to campus. I wished that I could grow wings and fly her away from her troubles. I was a Manchild full of innocent fantasy and dreams and barely able to take care of himself.</p>
<p>It wasn’t long before Brenda, Glenda, and Johnnie dropped out. I found myself getting high, hanging out on campus and flirting with all sorts of young ladies of all races. The Manchild had found a new playground. I became a campus playboy, a campus clown.</p>
<p>One day, I had spent the day drinking and getting high with the brothers. That evening I was hanging out in the hallway in front of the campus cafeteria cutting it up with a couple of brothers.  One brother was giving me the campus lowdown.</p>
<p>That’s “Michael the Pimp.” Michael was a local fixture. Michael was a light skinned brother with a process hairdo. Michael was always good to stop, talk, laugh and for a conversation. He was a hapless heroin addict that hung around campus. I don’t think anyone took him seriously even the women found him harmless and most irrelevant.</p>
<p>“That’s Marcellus, he is a professional boxer.” Marcellus was a bully and a self centered individual with a head full of greasy Gerri-curls, God’s gift to women. He made a beeline straight to cafeteria to impress the young ladies without looking around.  </p>
<p>“That’s Huey.” Huey was a rather ordinary sized brother with an arm full of books. He was modestly dressed. I noticed that he buttoned his shirt all the way up to the neck. The brother suddenly straightened his back and became alert. He respectfully nodded, and the rest of us got the clue and straightened up real quick and nodded our heads in unison. In passing, Huey acknowledged us and nodded respectfully in return, and entered the cafeteria. “That’s Huey. Don’t mess with him!” </p>
<p>Huey’s reputation had preceded him. From that day on, when Huey passed me in the hallway it always the same, straighten up and straighten up quick no matter how high you was. Huey didn’t talk much. He talked with his eyes. Huey’s girlfriend was a tall beautiful sister with long black hair named Laverne Williams. She was an opera singer and a serious music major. Huey was prelaw.</p>
<p>One day, Huey and Laverne passed me in the hall. As usual, I was holding up the wall in the hallway high. Laverne looked at me and whispered something to Huey about me. I wanted to blend into the woodwork to avoid his attention. Huey glanced at me for a moment and continued down the hallway. Here it was, one of the most bad-assed brothers on campus and his significant one didn’t like me. I wanted to disappear into the walls.</p>
<p>One evening, I rolled around to the brothers in the hallway in front of the cafeteria. One brother told me, “man, you just missed it. Huey and Marcellus just got in it.” My heart sunk to my stomach, Huey got beat down by a professional middle weigh boxer, I thought. The brother continued in utter amazement, “man, Huey cleaned out Marcellus.”  My mouth dropped wide open. I said to myself, “this Huey P. Newton cat is for real!”</p>
<p>From then on each time Laverne passed me, she continued to whisper something to Huey about me. It made me feel so little, miserable, and a failure not to be able to live up to her and now Huey’s expectations. I wasn’t serious about my education. I was at Merritt to get high, play and clown around with the young ladies. She could see right through me. </p>
<p>One day she passed me in the hallway with Huey, she said something about me again. Huey talked with his eyes. He never looked at me in a despairingly manner. On his day he sort of nodded and with reassuring look in his eye said, “He will be all right.” I knew that I had to get serious about education, and straighten my life out from then on.</p>
<p> Laverne didn’t know it, but I had decided that I wanted to be like Huey, manly, quiet, respected, and a serious student. I would ultimately win her respect and friendship. That really meant a lot to me.   </p>
<p><strong>THE BEGINNING: SOUL STUDENTS ADVISORY COUNCIL   </strong></p>
<p>It was 1966. A new awareness was breaking out all over campus, each day there were spontaneous groups of black and white students engaging in vigorous political debates about Civil Rights, and the Vietnam War. One of several Black students that stood out in the debates in regards to having an incredible cyclopedia-like recall of references and historical details was Bobby Seale. I had never seen Black men stand up to debate whites regarding any subject, whether history, psychology, philosophy, it didn’t matter. There didn’t seem to be subject that the brothers weren’t aware of. The heated debates lasted into the evenings, and I tried not to miss a moment.</p>
<p>There was Isaac Moore, Ken Freemen, Leo Bazile, Ernie Allen, and others. They were brilliant and beautiful in debate. Isaac Moore and Ken Freeman became my wise, faithful and patient mentors and teachers. Bobby, Ken and particularly Isaac Moore, took time to school and mentor me through the draft. I wouldn’t have made it without them. I subsequently discovered that Bobby Seale was Huey’s closest confidents. They were a prefect match. Bobby was charismatic, outgoing, boisterous, and an extremely fluent public speaker. Bobby had once been a comedian. Huey was intellectual, modest, and extremely reserved.    </p>
<p>The brothers and sisters on campus began to find a common cause among them, and agreed that there was a need to organize on campus around their causes, issues and needs. Some of brothers reasoned that there were numerous student groups with a common union funded by student fees, but none of them addressed the needs and issues of Black people. Why not organize a student group that would meet on campus around a common cause and union to regularly discuss and address issues important to Black students and people of color. It was Bobby Seale that always constantly emphasized the significance and uniqueness of the “soul” of people of color; soul music and soul food. It carried the day. The brothers and sisters formed Soul Students Advisory Council of the Associated Students of Merritt Jr. College. I believe that Leo Bazile became the first president of the new student union. I was in another world. It was a beautiful educational experience for me. I was like a fly on the wall. I tried not to miss anything.   </p>
<p>One issue was common and pressing to most the brothers and sisters on campus was the unjust Vietnam War, and the draft. Ernie Allen called a press conference on campus, and publicly declared his opposition to the war and became one of the first to refuse to be drafted into a war against his conscious and the Yellow brothers and sisters of Southeast Asia fighting the same enemy that people of color were facing in this country. I was absolutely in wonder of these brilliant, courageous, and worldly brothers. </p>
<p>Huey and Bobby wanted to take the group further beyond intellectualizing to take concrete and direct actions to help organize the community around issues that affected them. They wanted to expand the scope of the union to address police brutality, but most of the other brothers and sisters didn’t want to go that far. Unfortunately, some of the brothers began to assume that Huey and Bobby were too far out and militant for a campus organization.</p>
<p>Things came to a boil when Huey and Bobby used some of the union’s funds as bail money in regards to arrests that occurred protesting a police shooting in Richmond. It wasn’t that they pilfered the money it was that the brothers and sisters of the union demanded a democratic process before using the council’s money. They demanded the right to vote on it. Huey and Bobby argued that it was a time of the essence emergency and a paramount and revolutionary right existed to use the money to come to the aid of the Black community. It was Huey and Bobby on one side and the intellectuals like my mentors, Moore and Freeman and other brothers and sisters of the council, on the other side.</p>
<p>My heart was for unity with all of them. We needed the intellectuals and revolutionaries united for one cause, the liberation of our people. It was like a dark cloud had formed over my head. I was torn between them. I truly loved all of them, but for pragmatic reasons my soul had to go with Huey and Bobby. I was a young mis-educated and poor Manchild. I felt I had little to contribute to further the movement among the brilliant intellectuals. I had nothing to give the movement to liberate our people, but my love, body and soul.       </p>
<p><strong>THE SPLIT: THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY FOR SELF DEFENSE       </strong></p>
<p>Huey and Bobby branched out of the Soul Students Advisory Council and formed an off campus organization, the Black Panther Party for Self Defense (BPPSD) in October of 1966. Huey, Minister of Defense,  and Bobby, the  Chairman, developed the 10 Point Plan as the party’s platform to rally the people around. <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn1">[1]</a> The intellectual criticism was that the man could meet all the demands of the 10 Point Plan and we still wouldn’t be free. However, I thought it was a brilliant idea. Bobby and Huey targeted population were the ordinary brothers and sisters of the Black Community that Bobby called the “Lumpen.” The party’s platform was straightforward, comprehendible, and easy to universally embrace.</p>
<p>I was a fly on the wall. Huey and Bobby was right. That 10-Point Plan platform drew into the ranks of BPPSD some of the baldest, fiercest street thugs, gang members, and ex-servicemen of color on earth under one cause, the liberation of our people. </p>
<p>The other criticism was that Bobby Seale was weak. In my world, Bobby was one of the boldest brothers on the planet. I didn’t quite understand that point. A couple of years later, I would have learned exactly what they had meant.  </p>
<p>I was unable to participate in the early activities of party like the police patrols. The internal policy was that brothers had to equip themselves with their own personal guns. During this time, most of the community thugs and serious hustlers had the need for guns. I, the Manchild, never had the need or desire for a gun. For a time, I didn’t have the resources to obtain a gun.</p>
<p>I missed Huey’s infamous February 21, 1967 confrontation with the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) while escorting Betty Shabazz, the late wife of Malcolm X, from San Francisco Airport to the Ramparts office for an interview with Eldridge Cleaver. One of the young brothers of the escort told me that a SFPD contingent confronted Huey and brothers outside the Rampart’s office. One of the officers demanded the surrender of the escort’s weapons. An officer stepped forward as if to take Huey’s shotgun; and all that was heard was “click-click.” Huey locked and loaded a shell in his shotgun. Huey meant business and that just wasn’t going to happen. The SFPD backed down. On that day, I lot of people besides the police found out that Huey P. Newton was for real.</p>
<p>I also missed the infamous May 2, 1967 march on Sacramento that put the Black Panther Party for Self Defense on the international map in infinity. I learned a great deal about my life as a Manchild from Huey. Naturally at first, I didn’t have the courage that Huey and some of the other brothers had. I thought we needed more brothers. I thought that there might be safety in numbers if only for myself.</p>
<p>Once on campus, I was trying to convince a high school associate, Danny Crockett, to join the party. The grapevine was humming that Danny had ended a notorious thug’s, John Singleton, reign of terror with a bullet. It didn’t kill him, but from John’s own mouth it had slowed him down, and changed his life from random acts of senseless violence and hurting others needlessly.</p>
<p>While I was talking to Danny, Huey passed. I called Huey over and told him I was trying to recruit Danny. You couldn’t coach Huey to waste any words. Huey looked at Danny and asked if he had a gun. Danny said, “Yes.” Huey asked Danny if he was willing to protect his family with that gun. Danny said, “Yes.” Huey told Danny, “You’re a Panther,” and walked away.  </p>
<p>Huey was right. We didn’t need a lot of brothers in the party. We needed only the few dedicated brothers and sisters that we had to be examples of un-selfness, undying and supreme love, sacrifice and courage for our people. We will ultimately win the hearts and minds of the people. Huey had been the perfect example. I wasn’t wrong to want to be just like Huey P. Newton. Slowly, the de-colonialization process of my mind and spirit was jellying.  The BPPSD was molding into a fearless and internationally respected Black Liberation Warrior Clan. </p>
<p><strong>HUEY P. NEWTON &#38; Chinese Thought Reform</strong></p>
<p>On October 28, 1967, at about 4:51 a.m., Oakland Police Officer John Frey allegedly at random spotted an automobile moving along his assigned beat in West Oakland. Frey ran a check on the vehicle, and within a minute it was identified as a “known Black Panther vehicle.” <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn2">[2]</a> Frey decided to the stop the car at Seventh and Willow Street. Officer Herbert Heanes heard the transmission and joined Frey to provide cover.</p>
<p>After the stop, Frey found the vehicle driven for Newton by a passenger, Gene McKinney. Frey attempted to arrest Newton for two parking ticket violations belonging to the car’s owner, Huey’s significant one, Laverne Williams. During the arrest, there was an altercation. Frey was fatally shot and Heanes was wounded in a brief exchange of gunfire. </p>
<p>That night, I had accompanied brothers to Hunter’s Point for a memorial celebration of its rebellion of September 28 to October 1, 1966 after the SFPD shooting of an unarmed Black youth. We got the word that Huey had gone down.</p>
<p>He was being held at Highland Hospital in Oakland. The word came down that we were going in. I had lost the fear of a Manchild. I was prepared. Sometime later, word came down that the entire hospital had been surrounded by what seemed to have been an army. It would have been suicide to go in. The brothers called the mission off.</p>
<p>By July 1969, the Black Panther Party for Self Defense had become the primary focus of the FBI’s COINTELPRO and the CIA’s OPERATION CHAOS covert programs, and was ultimately the target of 233 of the total 295 authorized “Black Nationalist” COINTELPRO actions. The October 28, 1967 assault on Huey was part of the government’s secret coordinated counterintelligence operations to neutralize Huey and the BPPSD.</p>
<p>At a meeting of Federal prison administrators in 1962, MIT Dr. Edgar Schein, social psychologist, suggested using Chinese Thought Reform on prisoners as a policy. James V. Bennett, then Chief of the Bureau of Prisons thought it was a good idea. Dr. Schein:</p>
<p>This [thought reform] “model” of behavior and attitude change is a general one which can encompass phenomena as widely separated as brainwashing and rehabilitation in a prison or a mental hospital. I would like to have you think of brainwashing not in terms of politics, ethics and morals, but in terms of deliberate changing of behavior and attitudes by a group of men who have relatively complete control over the environment in which the captive population lives. [These changes can be induced by] isolation, sensory deprivation, segregation of leaders, spying, tricking men into signing written statements which are then shown to others, placing individuals whose will power has been severely weakened into a living situation with others more advanced in <em>thought reform, </em>character invalidation, humiliations, sleeplessness, rewarding subservience, and fear [emphasis added]. <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn3">[3]</a></p>
<p>In 1945, James Van Benschoten Bennett , President of the American Prison Association, was in Nazi Germany visiting concentration camps and setting up American Military Government German prisons that at that time was involved in the illusionary “denazification” thought reform.<a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn4">[4]</a> It’s ironic that Bennett’s thought reform program was too drastic for the BEAST, The World’s Greatest Racial Mass Murderers, but good enough for thousands of Black and Brown inmates who were guilty of struggling for freedom, and mostly economic and drug related crimes.</p>
<p>Dr. Schein was an S factor (Stanford University) fiend. He earned his masters at Stanford, and Ph.D at Harvard University in 1952 in social psychology. Dr. Schein is yet another scientist that migrated to the United States from Nazi-dominated countries to set national policy more consistent with Nazi Germany racial policies than American values of freedom and justice for all. He was born in Switzerland and moved into the United States in 1938, when the German General Staff and Reichsfurhrer SS Heinrich Himmler were moving in Nazi agents, the Fifth Column, into the Americas.</p>
<p>Dr. Schein was a disciple of German Psychologist, Dr. Kurt Lewin, head of the Tavistock Institute. Tavistock was the center of trauma-based-mind control research and engineering human behavior for the military-industrial complexes.</p>
<p>Dr. Schein was also an important CIA/MK ULTRA military intelligence asset that worked with clandestine neutralization teams along with Dr. Fred Williams of the Air Force Psychological Warfare Division, Nazi Doctor Expert, Dr. Robert Jay Lifton, Albert Bideman, and Psi specialist Air Force Lieutenant Colonel James Monroe. <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn5">[5]</a></p>
<p>Dr. Schein’s Los Angeles and Bay Area military intelligence and CIA/MK ULTRA mind control colleagues were Dr. Louis Jolyon West and Dr. Margaret Thaler Singer. They all had worked on top secret and classified programs involving Korean and Chinese “brainwashing, “mind control” and “thought reform” techniques for the government. <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn6">[6]</a> </p>
<p>Dr. Schein suggested that physical, psychological, and chemical techniques could be used on prisoners to deliberately alter behavior and attitude. Schein also proposed isolation, sensory deprivation, to destroy socialization among prisoners as well as to sever the links prisoners had to the outside world. Because humans validate their existence, their personality, through contact with others, isolation has a significant impact on the human psyche. This form of psychological disorientation, the removal of others for validation of self, came to be known as the “Muttnik Principle” (so named by psychologist Nathaniel Braden) and was also called the “Psychology of Invisibility.” <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn7">[7]</a></p>
<p>In 1968, Huey P. Newton was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter for the death of Officer Frey, and acquitted of assault on officer Herbert Heanes. After the 1968 conviction, Newton was committed to the California Corrections Department to carry out his sentence. Newton was placed at the San Luis Obispo Men’s Colony on the isolated central coast of California between Oakland and Los Angeles. It was hundreds of miles from Huey’s comrades and supporters in the Bay Area. Under the Dr. Schein’s “Muttnik Principle,” it was an idea location.</p>
<p>During his incarceration at San Luis Obispo Men’s Colony, which was a department of corrections medical facility, he was subjected to experimental behavior modification techniques that the brothers called “Chinese Brainwashing Procedures.” It was Schein’s classified Chinese Though Reform Program.</p>
<p>The word came down that brothers and sisters had to make regular visits to San Luis Obispo to keep Huey’s mind together. At that time, I don’t believe very many brothers and sisters knew exactly what “Chinese Brainwashing Procedures” or ”Chinese Though Reform” really meant; and the state of art of behavior modification and mind control programs; and the government’s active covert involvement. I know I didn’t truly understand what it had meant.</p>
<p>By January 1969, I along with most of the original panthers and the national and internationally respected revolutionary-intellectual controversial rank of brothers like Stokely Carmichael, H. Rap Brown, and James Forman from SNCC were purged from the BPPSD, and harnessed by “goon squads” and ex-prison zombies with a governmental “License to Kill” us.  </p>
<p><strong>HUEY P. NEWTON &#38; Clockwork Orange</strong></p>
<p>I, among others, eagerly awaited the release of Huey. We expected Huey would be able to sort out the COINTELPRO, OPERATION CHAOS, OPERATION GEMSTONE, HUSTON PLAN and MK-ULTRA penetrations of the BPPSD that had caused the deaths, imprisonment, assassination attempts, and polarization of so many brothers and sisters.  </p>
<p>On May 29, 1970, the California Court of Appeals reversed Newton’s manslaughter conviction. <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn8">[8]</a>  Shortly after August 5, 1970, Huey P. Newton was released from prison. I was there along with thousands when Huey was freed at the Alameda County Superior Courthouse. The man that I once knew bolted from the courthouse jumped up and onto a top of a car. He snatched off his shirt and flexed his muscles. I knew instantly that it wasn’t the quiet and modest and quiet warrior that I once had idolized.</p>
<p>I wasn’t the only one that noticed. In 1973, Kathleen Cleaver was traveling throughout Europe, after Eldridge Cleaver’s California parole was revoked and escaped. During a cocktail party in Switzerland, a reporter for the magazine ‘The Christian Century’ interviewed her about Newton. <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn9">[9]</a> She reported told the reporter, “Everyone who knew Huey before he went to prison, knows that he is not the same man any more. No one changes his views so radically as he apparently has after such a short term in prison. In fact, prison life has historically tended to make political prisoners more militant, not less so.”  <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn10">[10]</a></p>
<p>Cleaver characterized Newton’s recent about-face in regard to establishment institutions, drug use, drug dealing, pimping and pandering as result of the “Clockwork Orange” treatment to which he was subjected to in prison.</p>
<p>“A Clockwork Orange” refers to a movie in which a young man serving a long prison sentence for violent and sadistic criminal activity was offered an early release in exchange for his consent to undergo experimental behavior modification, aversion therapy. The treatment was so effective that the young man was unable to function to normal human reactions and impulses to sex, violence, and self-protection.</p>
<p>In an interview with the reporter, Newton denied undergoing aversion therapy or behavior modification. However, Newton claimed to have witnessed the effects of shock treatment, and stress therapy during his imprisonment. He said, “They were like vegetables.” <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn11">[11]</a>  The article also noted that the Urban-Black Center of the Graduate Theological Union of Berkeley directed a prison ministry program. Julius Thomas, director, said that he had observed several formerly strong-willed criminals come out of prison “acting like pussycats.” <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn12">[12]</a> The graduate union is linked to Dr. Schein’s military intelligence protégé, Dr. Margaret Singer.</p>
<p><strong>PRISON STRESS THERAPY &#38; THE CIA</strong></p>
<p>There is little information exposed about the “stress therapy” at San Luis Obispo Men’s Medical Facility, but “Stress Therapy” is a code word for the CIA in other California prison medical facilities, particularly Vacaville.</p>
<p>Clifford Jefferson (Death Row Jeff) was confined with Donald Defreeze (Cinque) of the Symbionese Liberation Army at Vacaville. In a sworn declaration to Patty Hearst’s first lawyer, Terrence Harahan, he declared, “In the early part of 1971, Defreeze stated to me that the CIA was conducting tests to try out certain drugs&#8230;Defreeze stated to me that he gone through the tests and also knew of stress tests that were given to prisoners, in which they were kept in solitary, harassed and annoyed until they would do anything asked of them to get out; then they were given these drugs and would become like robots.” <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn13">[13]</a></p>
<p>Columnist Jack Anderson further revealed the CIA’s “Stress Therapy” in the California men’s medical facilities, “CIA files confirm that this spy agency did indeed conduct drug experiments on Vacaville inmates. The experiments were designed to study the effects of stress and drugs on military prisoners of war, to determine the point which they would crack. Vacaville Superintendent T. Lawrence Clanon said that the CIA did not conduct any experiments after 1968. However, Superintendent Clanon acknowledged that Defreeze had volunteered for medical research in July 1970 and it is uncertain just when the agency ended its testing there.” <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn14">[14]</a></p>
<p>The CIA Station Chief at Vacaville was Dr. James A. Hamilton, another S Factor (Stanford University) psychiatrist. Dr. Hamilton’s chief consultant at the Vacaville’s stress cohort group (Black Cultural Association) experiment was Dr. Schein’s military intelligence protégé, Dr. Louis Jolyon West of UCLA, the Maestro of Mind Control. </p>
<p><strong>INHUMANE TREATMENT &#38; California’s Expermental Medical Psychiatric Diagnostic Units (MPDU)</strong></p>
<p>At the time of Huey’s incarceration at San Luis Obispo, Raymond K. Procunier was head of the California Department of Corrections. Procunier was one of Governor Ronald Reagan’s fascist department disciples that turned the California prison system into little Auschwitzes to experiment on Black and Brown inmates by every imaginable scientific experimental method with mind altering bending drugs; psychosurgery and lobotomy; and electroconvulsive treatments to modify and engineer human behavior.</p>
<p>On November 19, 1971, the California Department of Corrections invited a group of psychologists, psychiatrists, researchers and prison officials to meet at the University of California at Davis to discuss prison violence and a possible new psychiatric unit at Vacaville. Dr. Edward Opton, senior research psychologist at the Wright Institute, attended the sessions.</p>
<p>At the meeting, corrections officials were vague about what treatments they had in vision for inmates confined at the new MPDU. The corrections research director was Dr. Lawrence Bennett, who refused to discuss moral or ethical questions in regards to MPDU. The head of MPDU was Dr. Stephen Sheppard.</p>
<p>After the Davis meeting, the press picked up the story that corrections officials were planning to carry out experimental brain surgery on inmates at the new MPDU. When this information was exposed, the corrections officials maintained that that it was considering only electrocauterization (by inserting needles into the brain).  However, inmate support groups obtained a copy of a letter, dated September 8, 1971, from Procunier, to the California Council on Criminal Justice, which would arrange the financing of the project. Procunier’s letter spoke of brain surgery for “aggressive”, destructive” inmates. The proposal was submitted on November 11, 1971, a week before the Davis meeting. Procunier proposal referred to “serious management problem inmates” as one of its main reasons for setting up the MPDU at Vacaville:</p>
<p>“The control and management of these segregated inmates have become a serious problem, as shown by the recent episodes of violence and disturbance in different prisons where Adjustment Centers had been inadequate and the problem remains unsolved. New ways and perceptions are now urgently needed to provide a better approach for handling of these cases.” <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn15">[15]</a></p>
<p>Under Reagan and Procunier, the electric shock and aversion therapies that Huey witnessed at San Luis Obispo was common in California prisons. Electrical shock therapy was administered at Vacaville approximately 500 times in 1971; Prolixin was injected 1, 093 times in 1970. Drugs like Prolixin are described by users as &#8220;sheer torture&#8221; and &#8220;becoming a zombie&#8221;.</p>
<p>Shock treatment, a form of aversion therapy, is also torture. Bear in mind that one electrical shock therapy session may include up to 40 electrical shock charges per therapy session. Reports out of the California State Hospital for the Criminally Insane at Atascadero repeatedly mentioned that genital electroshock was used on sexual offenders as aversion therapy.  It was reported that inmates were shown movies of explicit sexual content. If they began to display sexual arousal, their genitals were shocked. The program was entitled, “Errorless Extinction of Penile Responses.”<a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn16">[16]</a> </p>
<p>The late Attorney Faye Stender, and the late prison activist Popeye Jackson and others viewed the MPDU as a laboratory of behavior “torture”, which in practice was designed to be performed primarily upon militant Black and Chicano organizers in prison populations.</p>
<p>Dr. George Bach-y-Rita, an electrocauterization specialist, was one of the research psychiatrist heavily involved in developing the MPDU. Dr. Bach-y-Rita said that the MPDU treatment would involve little more than intensive diagnosis through electroencephalogram and traditional doctor-patient and group therapy discussions; also perhaps training in Alpha-wave meditation.<a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn17">[17]</a></p>
<p>Dr. Bach-y-Rita was a Harvard trained psychiatrist who was a member of the American Psychiatric Task force on Violence. Dr. Bach-Rita was a Spaniard educated in Mexico. Dr. Bach-y-Rita had been slyly slipped into the department of corrections through the backdoor along with Dr. Frank Ervin to secretly advance CIA-MK ULTRA involved electrical stimulation of the brain (ESB) research.  </p>
<p>Dr. Bach-y-Rita and Ervin were part of the medical team of Dr. Vernon Mark, Dr. William Sweet of Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston General Hospital; and the notorious mind controller Spaniard, Dr. Jose Manuel Rodriguez Delgado. These doctors invasively implanted electrodes in the brain (ESB) to experimentally control and engineer behavior for the CIA and the military-industrial complex.  </p>
<p>In 1967, psychiatrist Frank Ervin and neurosurgeon Vernon Mark proposed to prevent (Black) urban riots by brain implants. The movie, The Terminal Man, was based on one of Dr. Mark’s psychosurgery victims. Their theory was that Blacks engaging in civil disobedience were suffering from damaged brain cells.</p>
<p>These doctors were also to be involved in Dr. Louis Jolyon West’s UCLA Center for the Study and Prevention of Violence funded by the Federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA), the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the Bureau of Prisons, and the CIA that was to target children and inmates of color for secret eugenic based hideous and inhuman mind control and behavior modification medical experiments.</p>
<p>Dr. Bach-y-Rita sent a letter to his correction department superiors that exposed the shocking truth that the California Departments of Corrections under Reagan and Procunier were not only involved in psychosurgery, electroshock, Prolixin and Anectine therapy experimental research, but they were involved in torturing inmates with sex hormone injections, brain cauterization, sound-wave control techniques, and lithium carbonate. <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn18">[18]</a></p>
<p>Dr. Joseph Tupin was alleged to have used lithium carbonate treatments on Vacaville inmates for years. Dr. Arthur Nugent administered Anectine (terror drug: a sensation “worse than dying”) to prisoners at Vacaville. The MPDU funding proposal read: “There has been, for example, a study in the California Medical Facility to determine the usefulness of lithium carbonate in treating hyperaggressive, acting-out patient. Further follow-up in this area would make a significant contribution.” <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn19">[19]</a></p>
<p>They, the group of fascist men, like Reagan, Procunier, Doctors Schein, West, Bach-y-Rita, Delgado, Ervin, Mark, Turbin, Bennett, Sheppard and others had relatively complete control over Huey’s prison’s environment. They could have by electrical shock, aversion, sleep deprivation, etc., so radically in a short term, transform Huey P. Newton, the modest warrior, into flamboyant drug abuse, drug dealing, pimping, murder and pandering. They had the technology, means, opportunity, and COINTELPRO motive.</p>
<p><strong>PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE OF HUEY P. NEWTON: A Crime Against Humanity   </strong></p>
<p>DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS, Article 5:</p>
<p><em><strong>No person shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treating or punishment.</strong></em></p>
<p>In 1948, The United Nation’s Declaration of Human Rights was created following World War II. The horrific atrocities committed by Germany through the Nazi’s racial mass murder campaigns caused the world to cry out and demand for justice. The Nazis discredited and made a mockery of notions of absolute state sovereignty which the Hitler state asserted and used to commit mass genocide as a matter of sovereign state right. The Nazis and their allies’ massive inhuman transgressions and crimes against humanity changed the worldview on human rights.  </p>
<p>The Inter-American Convention to Prevent and Punish Torture goes the farthest of any human rights instrument in directly prohibiting the use of techniques aimed at the disintegration of the personality or reduction of physical or mental capacities, which would include psychotropic drugs and brain-damaging procedures like electroshock and psychosurgery. <a href="http://princeray.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post-new.php#_ftn20">[20]</a></p>
<p>Pursuant to Operation Paperclip, 10,000 or more Nazis and SS (Knights of the Black Sun) fiends were brought to the United States to continue their campaign of racial mass murder and genocide, and pass on their hideous and baseless pseudo- racial medical theories and practices. The neophytes, apprentices, and apostles of the BEAST were Dr. Edgar Schein, Dr. Louis J. West, Dr. Jose Delgado, Dr. Bach-y-Rita, Dr. Frank Ervin and Dr. Vernon Mark. All of these doctors had direct and secret access to the American prison-inmate population at their disposal for crimes against humanity hideous pseudo-racial medical experiments.  </p>
<p>Even if Huey being the subject of psychological terror and a secret behavior modification/mind control program is discounted, then one must concede that while at San Luis Obispo, he had witnessed the effects of shock treatment and stress therapy during his imprisonment that turned inmates into “vegetables.” Who were the staff psychiatrists at the prison? Who was doing the shock treatment and CIA stress therapies? Who were torturing the men into vegetative states and for what reason and means?  What happened to these inmates? The behavior modification and mind control operations at San Luis Obispo’s Men Medial Facility has not been disclosed or been open to public scrutiny.</p>
<p>The California Department of Corrections’ torture, cruel, inhuman, degrading treatment and punishment of Huey P. Newton and inmates of color has to be exposed, disclosed and confronted. As with other human rights violations and crimes against humanity committed by a sovereign state, justice dictates prosecuting those responsible for the psychological rape and torture of inmates through the reinterpretation of existing laws and the establishment of peoples’ tribunals, and “truth commissions.”</p>
<p>Oakland has an ugly history and dark secret regarding the persecution of the BPPSD; and the setup, prosecution, transformation and assassination of Huey P. Newton. It has an ugly history and dark secret regarding the clandestine activities of the CIA and the military-intelligence complexes in assassinating and neutralizing prominent and independent men and women of color like Charles Alex Gregory, Dr. Marcus Foster, and Dorothy King that also has be to driven to the “Light of Day.”     </p>
<p>By the way, with Huey P. Newton and Laverne Williams as an inspiration to a Manchild Lost in the Promised Land, I graduated from Merritt Jr. College and two other colleges to earn a doctorate.</p>

<p><strong>Lördagen den 21 november slöt över 150 lulebor upp i en livlig demonstration mot rasism och nazism.</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://rspitea.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/stopnazi.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-145" title="stopnazi" src="http://rspitea.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/stopnazi.jpg" alt="" /></a><a href="http://rspitea.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/enhet.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-147" title="enhet" src="http://rspitea.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/enhet.jpg?w=275" alt="" width="263" height="287" /></a><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Arrangörer var det nystartade nätverket Lulebor mot rasism. Demonstrationen hölls med anledning av Svenska motståndsrörelsens (SMR) försök till etablering i Luleå. Lulebor i alla åldra deltog i demonstrationen, som tydligt visade att rasism och nazism inte är accepterat i Luleå.<br />
Tåget gick från Floras Kulle längs Storgatan genom stan, och talkörer som ”Inga nazister på våra gator” ropades. Kampstämningen var på topp!</p>
<p>- Är det demokrati att slå ner folk med järnrör? Är det demokrati att bränna ner RFSL:s lokaler i Piteå?, frågade Anna Löfgren från Rättvisepartiet Socialisterna i sitt tal. Hon förklarade att nazismen är förberedelse till hot och våld, och sa att det som behövs är enad kamp underifrån mot nazism och högerpolitik.<br />
- Sjukdomen är kapitalet, symtomen är rasism. Lösningen är jämställdhet och socialism! Sa en medlem i syndikalistiska ungdomsförbundet.<br />
Kampen fortsätter. De nazistiska våldsverkarna är inte välkomna på Luleås gator.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Christians are hearing about the Manhattan Declaration with great excitement.  It is a tremendous do]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Christians are hearing about the<a href="http://manhattandeclaration.org/decdocs/ManhattanDeclaration.pdf" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://manhattandeclaration.org/decdocs/ManhattanDeclaration.pdf" target="_blank">Manhattan Declaration</a> with great excitement.  It is a tremendous document with tremendous support from some tremendous Christian figures.</p>
<p>The actual declaration (linked to above) is some 4,000 plus words long, and is available to read at the link above.  But here is the nutshell version:</p>
<blockquote><p>Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning with the family.</p>
<p>We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are:</p>
<ol>
<li>the sanctity of human life</li>
<li>the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife</li>
<li>the rights of conscience and religious liberty.</li>
</ol>
<p>Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.</p></blockquote>
<p>I hope you stand with me &#8211; and with (at last count as of November 24, 2009) 106,738 other believers &#8211; <a href="http://manhattandeclaration.org/index.php" target="_blank">and sign this declaration</a>.</p>
<p>It reminds me of another time, and another declaration: <a href="http://www.sacred-texts.com/chr/barmen.htm" target="_blank">the Barmen Declaration of 1934</a>, which was a point-by-point denunciation of the fascist and racist ideological doctrines of Nazism and a positive expression of true Christian faith against a government and a culture that had become evil.</p>
<p>Adolf Hitler attempted to redefine &#8211; or &#8220;Nazify&#8221; &#8211; the Church and transform it into a component of his ideological agenda.  At one point in its history Germany had been the seat of the Protestant Reformation, and while Germany had since become the most secular humanist nation in Europe, there was still a vestige of Christianity remaining.  And Hitler wanted to harness that still-influential vestige toward his own ends.  The government thus passed resolutions to limit the influence or dictate the agenda of the church.  One demanded the purging of all pastors who rejected &#8220;the spirit of National Socialism.&#8221;  Another resolution categorically rejected the very foundations of Judeo-Christian transcendent morality even as it tried to conflate &#8220;being a German&#8221; with &#8220;being a Christian&#8221;:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;We expect that our nation&#8217;s church as a German People&#8217;s Church should free itself from all things not German in its services and confession, especially from the Old Testament with its Jewish system of quid pro quo morality.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The German Confessing Movement was a reaction against the German government&#8217;s attempt to impose its agenda upon the Christian Church in Germany.  As Gene Edward Veith put it in his book <em>Modern Fascism: Liquidating the Judeo-Christian Worldview:</em></p>
<blockquote><p>The Barmen Declaration thus sets itself against not only the <em>German Christian</em> aberration but against the whole tradition of modernist syncretism that made it possible.</p>
<p>[Article 1 affirmed Christ as the transcendent authority and source of values (as opposed to the German race, the Nazi revolution, or the person of Adolf Hitler)].  Article 2 asserts the sovereignty of Christ over all of life.  Article 3 asserts Christ&#8217;s lordship over the church and rejects &#8220;the false doctrine, as though the Church were permitted to abandon the form of its message and order to its own pleasure or to changes in prevailing ideological and political conventions.&#8221;  That is to say, the world does <em>not</em> set the agenda for the church.  Article 4 teaches that church offices are for mutual service and ministry, not for the exercise of raw power.  Article 5 acknowledges the divine appointment of the state, but rejects the pretensions of the state to &#8220;become the single and totalitarian order of human life, thus fulfilling the Church&#8217;s vocation as well.&#8221;  Article 6 affirms the church&#8217;s commission to proclaim the free grace of God to everyone by means of the Word and the sacraments.  &#8220;We reject the false doctrine, as though the Church in human arrogance could place the Word and work of the Lord in the service of any arbitrarily chosen desires, purposes, and plans [pp. 60-61].</p></blockquote>
<p>One article, entitled &#8220;<a href="http://jewsforjesus.org/publications/issues/16_10/01" target="_blank">Hitler&#8217;s Theologians: The Genesis of Genocide</a>,&#8221; takes time to describe how various key German liberal theologians systematically tore apart the Bible and orthodox Christianity &#8211; and in so doing systematically undermined the ethics and morality of the German people in preparation for the hell to come.  The author begins with Friedrich Schleiermacher, called &#8220;the founder of Liberal Protestantism,&#8221; and profiles the &#8220;contributions&#8221; of Friedrich Nietzsche, Julius Wellhausen, and Adolf von Harnack.</p>
<p>Georg Lukacs has observed that tracing the path to Hitler involved the name of nearly every major German philosopher since Hegel: Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Dilthy, Simmel, Scheler, Heidegger, Jaspers, and Weber [page 5, <em>The Destruction of Reason</em>].  And Max Weinreich produced an exhaustive study detailing the complicity of German intellectuals with the Nazi regime entitled <em>Hitler&#8217;s Professors: The Part of Scholarship in Germany&#8217;s Crimes Against the Jewish People</em>.  Ideas have consequences, and it was the ideas of these liberal theologians, philosophers and scholars who provided the intellectual justification and conceptual framework for the Holocaust.  Thus Nazism did not merely emerge from a liberal theological system, but from a distinguished secular humanist intellectual tradition as well &#8212; a distinguished intellectual tradition that had repudiated all the moral and spiritual values inherent to the orthodox Christianity of the <em>Confessing Church</em>.</p>
<p>Josef Hromadka wrote that:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The liberal theology in Germany and in her orbit utterly failed.  It was willing to compromise on the essential points of divine law and of &#8220;the law of nature&#8221;; to dispose of the Old Testament and to accept the law of the Nordic race instead; and to replace the &#8220;Jewish&#8221; law of the Old Testament by the autonomous law of each race and nation, respectively.  It had made all the necessary preparation for the &#8220;Germanization of Christianity&#8221; and for a racial Church.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Veith subsequently says, &#8220;in deciding whether or not to sign the Barmen Declaration &#8230; the dividing line was clear.&#8221;  And he states, &#8220;The <em>German Christian</em> theologians predictably denounced the confessional movement as being &#8216;narrow&#8217; and &#8216;fundamentalist.&#8217;&#8221;  He rightly described the opponents of the Barmen Declaration as being &#8220;modernists,&#8221; &#8220;existentialists,&#8221; and &#8220;dialectical&#8221; in their thinking.  The theologians who rejected Barmen were men like Emanuel Hirsch, who taught that the resurrection of Christ was only a spiritual vision, and that the idea of a physical resurrection distorted Christianity by focusing attention to the hereafter rather than to the culture and community of the present.</p>
<p>In short, it was Christians who thought like the evangelicals and fundamentalists of today who signed the Barmen Declaration and openly opposed Nazism, and it was &#8220;Christians&#8221; who thought like the mainline liberals of today who stood for the <em>German Christian</em> Nazification of Christianity and for the resulting Nazification of German ethics and morality.</p>
<p>Confessing Church pastors and priests who resisted this Nazification of the church paid dearly.  Thousands of clergymen were hauled away to the concentration camps.  According to the Niemoller archives, 2,579 clergymen were sent to Dachau alone &#8211; and 1,034 of them died in the camp.  And that only refers to the priests and pastors &#8211; not the untold thousands of devout Christians such as the Ten Booms who perished in the death camps for their opposition to Nazism.</p>
<p>An article entitled &#8220;<a href="http://www.ucalgary.ca/oncampus/weekly/may5-06/nazi-religions.html" target="_blank">Asking &#8216;Why Nazism?&#8217;</a>&#8221; reviewing a book by Dr. Karla Poewe has this:</p>
<blockquote><p>“One of the dangers of liberal Christianity, where all sorts of interpretations are permitted, is that it can easily slip into becoming a new religion,” Poewe says. “This is what happened. In a bid to rid Germany of what it saw as Jewish Christianity, several home-grown practices sprang up, including some that incorporated Icelandic and pre-Christian sagas, as well as ideas from German Idealism.”</p>
<p>Although initially these new religions were separate and disorganized entities, they eventually came under the umbrella of what was known as the German Faith Movement. Hitler saw in it a mechanism for transmitting and reinforcing the National Socialist worldview. “He shaped its followers into a disciplined political force but dismissed its leaders later when they were no longer needed,” Poewe says.</p></blockquote>
<p>We&#8217;re clearly not to the point where Jews, or Christians, or anyone else are being gathered by the thousands and placed in death camps.  But we&#8217;re beginning to see a trend that is frightening, as government, with the assistance of liberal &#8220;Christian&#8221; churches and organizations, are trying to impose their will upon the church and its agenda.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve had <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/news/pastors-to-protest-new-homosexuality-inclusive-hate-crimes-law-in-dc-monday.html" target="_blank">a &#8220;hate crimes&#8221; law imposed upon us that makes homosexuality a protected behavior</a>.  And one evangelical expresses the Confessing Church position <a href="http://www.deepcreekbc.com/?p=832" target="_blank">in a nutshell</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, said in a written statement the bill “is part of a radical social agenda that could ultimately silence Christians and use the force of government to marginalize anyone whose faith is at odds with homosexuality.”</p></blockquote>
<p>In another recent case, a Christian mother who has homeschooled her child is being forced to put her ten-year old child in public school, not to improve her academic education, but to limit her exposure to Christianity <a href="http://www.onenewsnow.com/Education/Default.aspx?id=659638" target="_blank">and forcibly expose her to a government-approved &#8220;public&#8221; point of view</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>According to the court order, the guardian concluded that Amanda&#8217;s &#8220;interests, and particularly her intellectual and emotional development, would be best served by exposure to a public school setting in which she would be challenged to solve problems presented by a group learning situation and&#8230;Amanda would be best served by exposure to different points of view at a time in her life when she must begin to critically evaluate multiple systems of belief and behavior.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>This is a shocking case, in which the government is usurping both parental and religious freedoms.  And there are many similar usurpations today, in which our government is actively opposing Christian values.</p>
<p>Nearly fifty million babies have been killed in this country by a government-sanctioned &#8220;pro-choice&#8221; system.  Gene Edward Veith addresses the &#8220;pro-choice&#8221; movement and its philosophical underpinnings:</p>
<blockquote><p>Existential ethics brackets the objective issues on abortion entirely.  At issue is not some transcendent moral law, nor medical evidence, nor a logical analysis.  The content of that choice makes no difference.  If the mother chooses to have the baby, her action is moral.  If she chooses not to have the baby, her action is still moral.  If she bears a child against her will or aborts a child against her will &#8212; then and only then is the action evil.  Those who believe that abortion should be legal do not consider themselves &#8220;pro-abortion.&#8221;  They are &#8220;pro-choice.&#8221;  The term is not only a rhetorical euphemism but a precise definition of existential ethics.</p>
<p>Existentialism is also reflected in those who are &#8220;pro-choice&#8221; but personally oppose abortion.  They do not believe in abortion for themselves, but refuse to impose their beliefs on others.  In this view, a belief has no validity outside the private, personal realm of each individual.  Moral and religious beliefs are no more than personal constructions, important in giving meaning to an individual&#8217;s life, but not universally valid.  Or, to use another commonly accepted axiom, &#8220;what&#8217;s true for you may not be true for me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Such a view of truth flies in the face of all classical metaphysics, which sees truth as objective, universal, and applicable to all&#8221; (page 96, <em>Modern Fascism: Liquidating the Judeo-Christian Worldview</em>).</p></blockquote>
<p>We can return to the historical analysis of Nazism presented by Karla Poewe, and what happened when such &#8220;anything goes&#8221; belief systems were allowed to rule.  [I have written an article describing how existentialism became a primary component of Nazism, and link to it <a href="http://startthinkingright.wordpress.com/2009/11/29/leftist-thought-led-to-fascism-and-will-again/" target="_blank"><strong>HERE</strong></a>].</p>
<p>Before we leave the issue of abortion as a vile violation of Christian ethics and morality, let us consider one more voice:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child &#8211; a direct killing of the innocent child &#8211; murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?&#8221; &#8212; Mother Teresa</p></blockquote>
<p>Christians should fight for life.  And allowing a human being to live should not be a &#8220;choice,&#8221; but a duty.</p>
<p>In 2003 one David Allen Black wrote an article bearing the question, &#8220;<a href="http://www.daveblackonline.com/do_we_need_a_new_barmen_declarat.htm" target="_blank">Do We Need A New Barmen Declaration?</a>&#8220;  No Christian with a knowledge of history can answer any other way than, &#8220;<em><strong>YES!</strong></em>&#8220;</p>
<p>The Barmen Declaration was written in 1934, but in many ways it was already too late: The Nazis were already in power.  Hitler was in his second year of power; and the ideas of the liberal theologians, the existentialist philosophers, and the amoral intellectuals were already firmly in place.</p>
<p>It is my fervent hope that we finally have that &#8220;New Barmen Declaration&#8221; to answer the evils of our own day.  If we already should have written one, then every day that passes is one more day wasted; if we are acting pro-actively, then let us thank God that we acting before it is too late.</p>
<p>From the <em>UK Telegraph</em>:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/geraldwarner/100017824/at-last-christians-draw-a-line-in-the-sand-against-their-pc-secularist-persecutors/" target="_blank"><strong>At last, Christians draw a line in the sand against their PC secularist persecutors</strong></a></p>
<p>By Gerald Warner UK Last updated: November 24th, 2009</p>
<p>At long last, Christian leaders have faced up to their persecutors in the secularist, socialist, One-World, PC, UN-promoted axis of evil and said: No more. In the popular metaphor, they have drawn a line in the sand. For harassed, demoralised faithful in the pews it will come as the long-awaited call to resistance and an earnest that their leaders are no longer willing to lie down supinely to be run over by the anti-Christian juggernaut. This statement of principle and intent is called The Manhattan Declaration, published last Friday in Washington DC.</p>
<p>It is difficult to believe that so firm an assertion of Christian intransigence in the face of persecution will not have some beneficial effects even here. For this Declaration is no minor affirmation by a few committed activists: on the contrary, it is signed by the most important leaders of three mainstream Christian traditions – the Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church and Evangelical Protestants. For an ecumenical document it is heroically devoid of fudge, euphemism and compromise.</p>
<p>The Manhattan Declaration states that “the lives of the unborn, the disabled, and the elderly are severely threatened; that the institution of marriage, already buffeted by promiscuity, infidelity and divorce, is in jeopardy of being redefined to accommodate fashionable ideologies; that freedom of religion and the rights of conscience are gravely jeopardized by those who would use the instruments of coercion to compel persons of faith to compromise their deepest convictions”.</p>
<p>For Barack Obama, the PC lobby, the “hate crime” fascists and, by implication, their opposite numbers in Britain, the signatories have an uncompromising message: “We pledge to each other, and to our fellow believers, that no power on earth, be it cultural or political, will intimidate us into silence or acquiescence.” That is plain speaking, in the face of anti-Christian aggression by governments. The signatories spelled it out even more unequivocally: “We will fully and ungrudgingly render to Caesar what is Caesar’s, but we will under no circumstances render to Caesar what is God’s.”</p>
<p>In a world where a Swedish pastor has been jailed for preaching that sodomy is sinful, similar prosecutions have taken place in Canada, the European Court of Human Rights (sic) has tried to ban crucifixes in Italian classrooms, Brazil has passed totalitarian legislation imposing heavy prison sentences for criticism of homosexual lifestyles, Amnesty International is championing abortion, David Cameron has voted for the enforced closure of Catholic adoption agencies, and Gordon Brown’s government has just been defeated in its fourth attempt to abolish the Waddington Clause guaranteeing free speech – this robust defiance is more than timely.</p>
<p>The signatories are unambiguously expressing their willingness to go to prison rather than deny any part of their religious beliefs. Those signatories are heavyweight. On the Catholic side they include Justin Cardinal Rigali, Archbishop of Philadelphia; Adam Cardinal Maida, Archbishop Emeritus of Detroit; the Archbishops of Denver, New York, Washington DC, Newark, Saint Paul and Minneapolis, Kansas City, and Louisville; and other Bishops. The Orthodox include the Primate of the Orthodox Church in America and the Archpriest of St Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary. There are also the Anglican Primates of America and Nigeria, as well as a host of senior Evangelical Protestants.</p>
<p>In terms of influence on votes and public opinion, this is a formidable coalition. It has served notice on the US government that further anti-Christian legislation will provoke cultural trench warfare and even civil disobedience. As regards the sudden stiffening of resistance among the usually spineless Catholic leadership, it is impossible not to detect the influence of Benedict XVI.</p>
<p>We need more declarations like this, on a global scale, and the requisite confrontational follow-up. This is Clint Eastwood, make-my-day Christianity – and not before time. From now on, any governments that are planning further persecution of Christians had better make sure they have a large pride of lions available for mastication duties. The worm has turned.</p></blockquote>
<p>As a young Christian, I was inspired by the music, <a href="http://www.stlyrics.com/songs/k/keithgreen2137.html" target="_blank">lyrics</a>, and album cover of Keith Green&#8217;s album, <em>No Compromise</em>.  The cover says it all:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://chuckbrown.com/media/albumcovers/keith-green-no-compromise.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></p>
<p>The Manhattan Declaration &#8211; like the Barmen Declaration &#8211; calls for Christians who are willing to <em>stand up</em> and be singled out even in the face of persecution or punishment.</p>
<p>I hope you are willing to be one of those Christians.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Moscow &#8211; 19 years old Edward Gurtskaia was killed in a street of Moscow by Drunk Russian police officers.</p>
<p>Officers assaulted Edward while he was walking down on the street. As the relatives of victim say, Gurtskaia had a specific Georgian (Caucasian Region) looks, and evidently it was easy for those police officers to spot him in crowd.  No one attempted to help young man and he was killed.</p>
<p>As Russian Attorney General&#8217;s office reports all three murderer are already arrested.</p>
<p>Georgians have been victims of the Russian Xenophobia and Nazism before. Even police and Russian politicians made some racist remarks about Georgians. About  years ago Georgian were victims of mass deportation from Russia, this case is now tried in Tribunal of the Hague.</p>
<p>Racism and Nazism is widely spread in Russia and has strong lobby in Russian Parliament.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>This is really amazing no fair trial, no justice, baseless allegations on an innocent mother of 3 children two of which are still missing (if alive) and still they call their selves civilized fighting a so-called war against terror. The imperialists are real terrorists and hypocrites ruling the world with their power,brutal killings,economic exploitation and lies.</p>
<p>They Zionists/Neo-Cons don&#8217;t consider others as human beings , they are real fascists and modern face of Nazism.</p>
<p>Can Aafia get the share of civilization and system of justice she deserves? Is there any conscience left in our government which is busy in licking feet of their imperialist masters? Is there any Kerry-Lugar bill for Aafia? Is there any humanity left for an innocent lady who has suffered a lot for being a muslim women who loves her religion?</p>

<p><strong>Dr Aafia to boycott trial</strong><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><em>The Nation</em><br />
NEW YORK – While a defiant Aafia Siddiqui declared that she would boycott her trial in January, a federal judge Thursday rejected her lawyers’ plea that she could not be tried in the United States as they pointed out that the Pakistani neuroscientist’s alleged crime took place outside the country. Ms Siddiqui, who was brought to New York in August 2008 from Afghanistan where prosecutors say she allegedly fired at US interrogators. No American was hit but she was shot in the abdomen and was charged with attempted murder and assault.<br />
In a pre-trial hearing on Thursday, her lawyers, led by Charles Swift, argued that Dr Siddiqui could only be tried on terrorism charges in the US, and not on murder charges. In this regard, he quoted various international regulations.<br />
But US District Judge Richard Berman ruled out the motion, saying that the US courts have jurisdiction if American citizens were subjected to attacks abroad, citing some precedents.<br />
But Ms Siddiqui, who is languishing in a maximum security jail, interrupted her lawyers in US District Court in Manhattan to announce that she did not plan to participate in her trial, scheduled for Jan 19.<br />
“I am boycotting this trial,” she declared. “I am innocent of all the charges and I can prove it, but I will not do it in this court.”<br />
Since the very beginning, Ms Siddiqui has said that she has no confidence in the American judicial system or the lawyers appointed for her by the court &#8211; even those retained by the government of Pakistan &#8211; and that she wants to make peace and knows how to do it.<br />
She has vigorously protested against what she called humiliating strip searches before she is brought to the court.<br />
Judge Berman said that her trial would proceed after her lawyers and prosecutors visit Afghanistan to interview eyewitnesses to finalise their case.<br />
Lawyers for Ms Siddiqui tried to convince the court that she was mentally incompetent to stand trial, citing in part her refusal to cooperate with lawyers and the reports of a psychologist who said she suffers from delusional disorder and depression.<br />
Judge Berman rejected that argument after prosecutors pointed to psychological reports that concluded she was faking mental illness.<br />
Berman on Thursday rejected defence arguments aimed at tossing out charges against Ms Siddiqui that carry a potential minimum prison sentence of 30 years and a maximum penalty of life in prison.<br />
Before he ruled on the request, Dr Siddiqui said visits by her lawyers were “torture for me” and it was a waste of money for lawyers to go to Afghanistan to interview witnesses because she was not participating in the trial.<br />
“I’m not dealing with them anymore,” Dr Siddiqui said of her lawyers. “They’re just people coming to my door and talking, talking, talking.”<br />
During a break, Dr Siddiqui was led out of the courtroom by US marshals when she would not stop talking loudly. “Take me out,” she said. “I’m not coming back.”<br />
She was not present when the judge made his decision.</p>

<p>Today&#8217;s bourgeois Kremlin is afraid of renaissance of organized class struggle and directly or indirectly supports (this is a long story) russian nazis (growing post-soviet version of paramilitaries).</p>

<p>And with it the another thing the Kremlin much cares about is its image and world public opinion (the matter of preferences in business, politic, etc.).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Αφορμή για εισβολή της Γερμανίας στην Πολωνία δεν υπάρχει και οι Ναζί αποφασίζουν να την δημιουργήσουν. Οι άνδρες της SS παίρνουν 150 κρατούμενους από το Στρατόπεδο συγκέντρωσης Μπούχενβαλντ, τους μεταφέρουν στον συνοριακό σταθμό διαβιβάσεων του Γκλάιβιτς και τους ντύνουν με πολωνικές στολές. Αμέσως μετά τους υποχρεώνουν να καταπιούν δηλητήριο, πυροβολούν τα πτώματα, προξενούν μικρές καταστροφές στον σταθμό, ώστε να φαίνεται ότι δέχτηκε επίθεση. Στον ασύρματο του σταθμού ένας άνδρας των SS ουρλιάζει στα Πολωνικά ότι τα στρατεύματα της Πολωνίας πρόκειται να εισβάλουν στην Γερμανία. Ο διοικητής του σταθμού συνταγματάρχης Στάινμετς αρχικά δοκιμάζει να αντισταθεί στην απάτη, αλλά οι SS του απαντούν με ένα &#8220;Fuhrerbefehl!&#8221; (διαταγή του Φύρερ). Μετά τη λήψη και σχετικών φωτογραφιών, οι SS αποχωρούν.</p>
<p>Με αυτό τον τρόπο ο Χίτλερ μπορεί πλέον να αναγγείλει επίσημα, την 1η Σεπτεμβρίου 1939, στο Ράιχσταγκ ότι οι Πολωνοί προσπάθησαν την προηγούμενη να εισβάλουν στο Γερμανικό έδαφος και ότι η Βέρμαχτ ανταποδίδει τα πυρά που δέχτηκε στις 5:45 το πρωί. Η πραγματικότητα, ωστόσο, είναι διαφορετική. Ο Χίτλερ έχει διατάξει την επίθεση κατά της Πολωνίας από τις 31 Αυγούστου. Η Βέρμαχτ, με βάση λεπτομερές σχέδιο που κατάρτισαν ο Βάλτερ φον Μπράουχιτς και το Επιτελείο του, με το κωδικό όνομα Fall Weiss (λευκό σχέδιο), επιτίθεται από ξηράς, θαλάσσης και αέρος στην Πολωνία. Είναι 1 Σεπτεμβρίου 1939 και ο Β΄ Παγκόσμιος Πόλεμος αρχίζει.</p>
<p>Στις 20 Σεπτεμβρίου 1939 ο Χίτλερ επισκέπτεται την παραθαλάσσια πόλη Γδύνια, την οποία μετονόμασε σε Gotenhafen. Πολύ σύντομα το λιμάνι μετατράπηκε σε πανίσχυρη βάση του Γερμανικού στόλου.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Okay, so I&#8217;ve been a bit critic on Israel lately, and I haven&#8217;t changed my mind about that.. But something I&#8217;m really tired about, in the discussions about Israel and the Palestinians, is when people are comparing or making Israel equal to the Nazis.. And it happens quite a lot..</p>
<p>I read this passage in Matthias Küntzel&#8217;s book, &#8220;Jihad and Jewhatred&#8221; about this phenomenon, which I found pretty interesting:</p>
<blockquote><p>Secondly, for Yassin and Arafat the subject of the Holocaust – the central experience in the establishment and attitudes of the State of Israel – has remainded taboo, as has that of the role of the Mufti in National Socialism. No post-Oslo PA schoolbook so much as mentions Auschwitz. When a PA official asked that this be changed, he was met with furious protests and the request was rejected. The Chairman of the Palistinian Parliament’s Education Committee declared that, “we have no interest in teaching the Holocaust.” His parliamentary colleague and Fatah leader, Hatem Abd al-Qader, added that teaching about the Holocaust would present “a great danger” for the Palestinian identity. “If such a decision [about teaching the Holocaust] is made, it will undoubtedly ruin the Palelistinian dream and aspirations. It will entirely obliterate the past, present and future of the Palestinians”. Not the slightest danger to the Palestinian identity, though, seemed to be presented by the circulation with express PA approval of Hitler’s programmativ work <em>Mein Kampf </em>, which reached number sic in the Palestinian Territory’s bestsellers’ list in 1999. The translator of the Arabic edition refers in his introduction to his author’s continued relevance: “Adolf Hitler does not belong to the German people alone, he is one of the few great men who almost stopped the motion of history, altered its course….. National Socialism did not die with the death of its herald. Rather, its seeds multiplied under each star.”</p>
<p>While the PA “sows” the seeds of National Socialism un this way, and reaps a harvest of murderous anti-Jewish actions from it, Israeli policy is presented in all its media as a continuation or even intensification of Nazism. The constant equation of Israeli and Nation Socialist policies – “Nazism of the Jews,” “Nazi-like enemy,” “Nazi-Zionist practices” – amounts to a specific form of Holocaust denial, one which legitimates the pursuit of an anti-Jewish extermination policy, while projecting these murderous intentions onto the chosen victim. – “Jihad and Jewhatred” Matthias Küntzel page 117-118</p></blockquote>
<p>So the question remains, who really are the Nazis? Israel or the Palestinian leaders?</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;m not trying to say that all Palestinians are Nazis, not even close, but with leaders like this, what can you do? The worst part is that there actually are many intelligent and well meaning Palestinians, who want to make a difference and build a better future for both the Palestinians and Israel, but when all the support goes to the hatemongers among the Palestinians, what can decent Palestinians do? Not much..</p>
<p>And when I&#8217;m talking about support, then I don&#8217;t only think about Iran, but also Israel herself (who supported Hamas in the 80s), EU (who supports Hamas today) and the States, who is allied with the largest producer and exporter of Anti-Semitism, namely Saudi Arabia..</p>
<p>I really find this sad and it makes me wonder, how much so called &#8220;meddlers for peace&#8221; really want to make peace..</p>
<p>All the best and Shabbat Shalom</p>
