Astounding allegation of nuclear sabotage at Fukushima

Aangirfan provides the following link without comment:

Did the Dimona Dozen murder the Fukushima 50?

The story seems so far out that it is hard to take it in the least bit seriously except that it raises one very curious question: if the Fukushima nuclear disaster was the result of Force 9.1 earthquake, why was there virtually no earthquake damage -- only damage by the tsunami, which occurred 40 minutes after the quake and destroyed hitherto undamaged buildings?

To make it clear why that is so remarkable, one needs to understand that a force 9.1 magnitude earthquake releases energy equivalent to half a gigaton of TNT, that's five hundred million tons of TNT, or the energy released by 50,000 Hiroshima-sized nukes.

It appears, however, that contrary to the claim made in this article, the quake epicenter was offshore, not on land, although it was close -- about 120 km East of the city of Sendai.

The article draws attention to one other very curious point, which is the presence at Fukushima of half-ton Israeli security cameras (see image at top right) which might conceal one of these.

The War Prayer

Samuel Clemens

By Mark Twain

It was a time of great and exalting excitement. The country was up in arms, the war was on, in every breast burned the holy fire of patriotism; the drums were beating, the bands playing, the toy pistols popping, the bunched firecrackers hissing and sputtering; on every hand and far down the receding and fading spreads of roofs and balconies a fluttering wilderness of flags flashed in the sun; daily the young volunteers marched down the wide avenue gay and fine in their new uniforms, the proud fathers and mothers and sisters and sweethearts cheering them with voices choked with happy emotion as they swung by; nightly the packed mass meetings listened, panting, to patriot oratory which stirred the deepest deeps of their hearts and which they interrupted at briefest intervals with cyclones of applause, the tears running down their cheeks the while; in the churches the pastors preached devotion to flag and country and invoked the God of Battles, beseeching His aid in our good cause in outpouring of fervid eloquence which moved every listener.

It was indeed a glad and gracious time, and the half dozen rash spirits that ventured to disapprove of the war and cast a doubt upon its righteousness straightway got such a stern and angry warning that for their personal safety's sake they quickly shrank out of sight and offended no more in that way.

Sunday morning came – next day the battalions would leave for the front; the church was filled; the volunteers were there, their faces alight with material dreams – visions of a stern advance, the gathering momentum, the rushing charge, the flashing sabers, the flight of the foe, the tumult, the enveloping smoke, the fierce pursuit, the surrender! – then home from the war, bronzed heros, welcomed, adored, submerged in golden seas of glory! With the volunteers sat their dear ones, proud, happy, and envied by the neighbors and friends who had no sons and brothers to send forth to the field of honor, there to win for the flag or, failing, die the noblest of noble deaths. The service proceeded; a war chapter from the Old Testament was read; the first prayer was said; it was followed by an organ burst that shook the building, and with one impulse the house rose, with glowing eyes and beating hearts, and poured out that tremendous invocation – "God the all-terrible! Thou who ordainest, Thunder thy clarion and lightning thy sword!"

Then came the "long" prayer ...

How many SEALS died? Government by the Management of Perception

By Paul Craig Roberts
Source: VDARE.com, May 17, 2011

In a sensational and explosive TV report, the Pakistani News Agency has provided a live interview with an eye witness to the US attack on the alleged compound of Osama bin Laden. The eye witness, Mohammad Bashir, describes the event as it unfolded.  Of the three helicopters, "there was only one that landed the men and came back to pick them up, but as he [the helicopter] was picking them up, it blew away and caught fire."  The witness says that there were no survivors, just dead bodies and pieces of bodies everywhere. "We saw the helicopter burning, we saw the dead bodies, then everything was removed and now there is nothing."

I always wondered how a helicopter could crash, as the White House reported, without at least producing injuries. Yet, in the original White House story, the SEALs not only survived a 40-minute firefight with al Qaeda, "the most highly trained, most dangerous, most vicious killers on the planet," without a scratch, but also survived a helicopter crash without a scratch.

The Pakistani news report is available on you tube. The Internet site, Veterans Today, posted a translation along with a video of the interview. Information Clearing House made it available on May 17.

 

If the interview is not a hoax and the translation is correct, we now know the answer to the unasked question:  Why was there no White House ceremony with President Obama pinning medals all over the heroic SEALs who tracked down and executed Public Enemy Number One? 

The notion that Obama had to keep the SEALs’ identity secret in order to protect the SEALs from al Qaeda detracts from the heroic tough guy image of the SEALs, and it strains credulity that Obama’s political handlers would not have milked the occasion for all it is worth.

Democratic Dawn — or Darkness

“Right now, socially, we are disintegrating.”

So says Mohamed ElBaradei, former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency and potential candidate for president of Egypt.

Indeed, post-revolutionary Egypt appears to be coming apart.

Since the heady days of Tahrir Square, Salafis have been killing Christians. Churches have been destroyed. Gangs have conducted mass prison breaks. The Muslim Brotherhood brims with confidence.

And demands are rising for the prosecution and execution of former president Hosni Mubarak.

The Violent World of President Hopey Changey

Ted Rall

by John Pilger

May 27, 2011: When Britain lost control of Egypt in 1956, Prime Minister Anthony Eden said he wanted the nationalist president Gamal Abdel Nasser "destroyed … murdered … I don’t give a damn if there’s anarchy and chaos in Egypt." Those insolent Arabs, Winston Churchill had urged in 1951, should be driven "into the gutter from which they should never have emerged."

The language of colonialism may have been modified; the spirit and the hypocrisy are unchanged. A new imperial phase is unfolding in direct response to the Arab uprising that began in January and has shocked Washington and Europe, causing an Eden-style panic. The loss of the Egyptian tyrant Mubarak was grievous, though not irretrievable; an American-backed counterrevolution is under way as the military regime in Cairo is seduced with new bribes and power shifting from the street to political groups that did not initiate the revolution. The western aim, as ever, is to stop authentic democracy and reclaim control.

Libya is the immediate opportunity. The NATO attack on Libya, with the UN Security Council assigned to mandate a bogus "no fly zone" to "protect civilians," is strikingly similar to the final destruction of Yugoslavia in 1999. There was no UN cover for the bombing of Serbia and the "rescue" of Kosovo, yet the propaganda echoes today. Like Slobodan Milosevic, Muammar Gaddafi is a "new Hitler," plotting "genocide" against his people. There is no evidence of this, as there was no genocide in Kosovo. In Libya there is a tribal civil war; and the armed uprising against Gaddafi has long been appropriated by the Americans, French and British, their planes attacking residential Tripoli with uranium-tipped missiles and the submarine HMS Triumph firing Tomahawk missiles, a repeat of the "shock and awe" in Iraq that left thousands of civilians dead and maimed. As in Iraq, the victims, which include countless incinerated Libyan army conscripts, are media unpeople.

Students for Western Civilization Targeted as Racist by the Defamation League

By Lauren Sieben

The Chronicle of Higher Education, May 23, 2011: A new report from the Anti-Defamation League raises concerns about a conservative student group, which it says has ties to white supremacists and a plan to expand at universities across the country.

The student group—Youth for Western Civilization—says it's not a racist organization. Its stated mission is "to organize, educate, and train activists dedicated to the revival of Western Civilization."

But the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish advocacy organization, says in its report that the student group uses "Western civilization" as a euphemism for "white culture."

Youth for Western Civilization was founded in 2006 by Kevin DeAnna, a recent graduate of American University's School of International Service, and the organization will host its first conference in June, in Washington, D.C.

"The fact that they're having their first national conference is something that makes it more an issue of concern for us, because of their desire to grow and strategize," said Marilyn Mayo, co-director of the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism....

From the Youth for Western Civilization Mission Statement

Why We Care About Western Civilization

It is ours. We have the self-evident right and duty to work for the survival of our own culture and civilization.

While this reason is sufficient in itself, Western Civilization has also given priceless gifts to the rest of mankind, including advances in medicine, the arts, and scientific exploration.

There is no reason to believe that the advances of modernity and the political freedoms we enjoy will endure with the extinction of the civilization that allowed them to exist. Western Civilization is our civilization and in spite of the continual assault and hatred it endures from the radical left, we wish to revive the West, rather than see our civilization be sent to the graveyard of history. ...

$9.75 MILLION LIBEL AWARD AGAINST ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE UPHELD

DENVER Apr.23, 2003 - A $9.75 million libel award against the Anti-Defamation League for publicly calling an Evergreen couple anti-Semitic was upheld Tuesday by a federal appeals court.

William and Dorothy Quigley won the judgment in April 2000 after the ADL's remarks at a news conference. The incident arose out of a dispute between the Quigleys and neighbors Mitchell and Candice Aronson, who are Jewish. The original judgment was $10.5 million, but a judge reduced that to $9.75 million in 2001 because the Quigleys had won a separate but related judgment against the Aronsons over wiretapping violations.

The ADL appealed the libel judgment, but the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the smaller award.

YWC Blog: Response to Defamation League Smears 

By Kevin DeAnna

The title of the Anti Defamation League’s smear against Youth for Western Civilization, “ADL Documents Link Between Campus Group and White Supremacists,” is very telling. The operative word is “link.” The ADL does not claim that I or any member of the group is a “white supremacist,” but rather that that we are “linked” to people who they claim to be white supremacist.

The extent of these “links” are unsolicited praise on message boards, people who decided to be “fans” of our Facebook page, and people who showed up in the audience to events we held that are open to the public.
I honestly had not even heard of over half the people I am allegedly “linked” to. The ADL and their liberal allies are the same people screaming McCarthyism whenever anyone brings us Barack Obama’s actual ties (as opposed to Facebook linked or audience linked) to radical left wingers and racists like Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright.
The ADL implicitly acknowledges that no one involved in YWC has said anything “racist” when they accuse us of “avoid[ing] using overtly bigoted rhetoric” in favor of “euphemistic language” to make our points.
What are these evil code words?   According to the ADL, “Western Civilization” means white, and when we refer to “members of the multiculti” and “racial grievance groups” we mean to disparage all minorities.
These smears are prima facie frivolous.

We have many minority members who support Western Civilization and many of the “members of the multiculti ” we oppose are white (such as the majority of the staff at the ADL.) “Western Civilization” is not a euphemism, and we have clearly defined what we mean by it on our website.
If the ADL wants to fight real ”racism” they should look at groups like the National Council of La Raza, which means “the race”—not much of an euphemism. Instead the ADL has teamed up with La Raza to try to shut down opponents of illegal immigration.

This is the real motive of their attack on YWC.

The ADL lobbied in favor of amnesty for illegal aliens and filed a brief against Arizona’s SB 1070. They have a long history of slandering virtually all opponents of mass immigration such as the Federation for American Immigration Reform and Pat Buchanan as “racists” to try to silence them. The ADL is so unscrupulous in their witch hunts against supposed racists and extremists, that they were found liable in federal court for illegally wiretapping and defaming private citizens and penalized 12 million dollars.

The upside of these attacks is that when open borders groups with multi-million dollar budgets are resorting to such frivolous guilt by association attacks, we know we are making an impact.

US "TO PROTECT PAKISTAN"

Daily Express, May 25, 2011: US troops will be deployed in Pakistan if the nation’s nuclear installations come under threat from terrorists out to avenge the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the Sunday Express can reveal.

The plan, which would be activated without President Asif Ali Zardari’s consent, provoked an angry reaction from Pakistan officials last night.

Barack Obama would order troops to parachute in to protect key nuclear missile sites.

These include the air force’s central Sargodha HQ, home base for nuclear-capable F-16 combat aircraft and at least 80 ballistic missiles.

A US source told the Sunday Express: “The plan is green lit and the President has already shown he is ­wiling to deploy troops in Pakistan if he feels it is important for national security.”

Overpopulation: Learning to Love the Plague

Britain's Ministry of Defense, Development, Concepts and Doctrine Center predicts that the "strategic context" facing Britain's armed forces within 30 years will include a brain chipped population, out-of-control immigration, class warfare and the use of neutron bombs and biological weapons to combat overpopulation.

Not content, apparently, to impoverish us through taxation, the bastards want to reduce us to robotic slavery before wiping us entirely from the face of the planet.

But what's with these people who want to wage war against humanity?

Has the environmental movement morphed into a campaign for global genocide? Do they love the snail darter and the smallpox bacillus more than they love people?

Or is it just that they'd rather kill off a whole bunch of people than give up the SUV?

Ted Turner thinks a total world population of about 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be "ideal".

Craig Murray Catches Up With Reality

Craig Murray has a well stated indictment of Britain's farcical alleged democratic form of government:

After the most intense bombardment of Tripoli yet, we are now deploying ground attack helicopters to intensify the fighting in Libya. Whether all this is really going to achieve the illegal objective of regime change is open to question. What is in no doubt is that it is killing people, and it is very expensive. In April 2011, UK net public sector borrowing exceeded £10 billion for the month – compared to £7.2 billion in April 2010 and a forecast of £6.5 billion. We are closing libraries and care for the disabled. Yet we still squander billions on neo-imperial folly.

The problem is that there is no opposition. The British political system has become an uncomplicated instrument of power for a united neo-conservative class. The Liberal Democrats have been neutered by Clegg and New Labour still seeks to attack from the populist right. Our established political system is not fit for purpose – it no longer provides a forum for the airing of views very widely held by disparate groups in society, and for the fair and agreed resolution of courses of action. ...

It is good to see that Craig Murray has finally realized that what the great majority of the British public wants is precisely the British National Party (BNP) agenda: Out of Europe, out of NATO, out of Afghanistan, out of Libya, and an end to mass immigration which even the Labor Government’s own research demonstrated was harmful to the interests of British workers (on this, Murray supports the Corporate interest, not the popular view), an end to off-shoring of jobs and a national industrial policy that will rebuild British industry and restore British technical and engineering competence.

Unfortunately, Craig Murray has no suggestion as to how Britain's pseudodemocratic system of government might be transformed into a process that reflects the interests of the British people. What’s needed is to remove the malign influence of that Cambridge-trained, Masonic clown, Nick Griffin (an MI6 operative, surely) whose function as leader of the BNP is to associate every populist policy with thuggish, fascistic, racist antics so that the public dare not express their support either for the party or, more importantly, the policies that that party pretends to espouse.

How a populist program of government could be instituted in Britain is not easy to see. For one of the mainstream parties to adopt the nationalist agenda would make sense, except that the credibility of the mainstream parties is probably lower than Nick Griffin's. At least the public think Nick Griffin would actually do what he promises, dreadful though Griffin's antics and the media portrayal of the BNP make that seem. But no one believes that any of the mainstream parties will do in office what they promise on the campaign trail.

The reason the mainstream parties lack credibility is that they are subservient to the monied interests that fund their campaigns and pay off the leaders for services rendered when those leaders leave office. A useful initiative, therefore, would be a campaign to make all corporate and foreign donations to political parties illegal, and to provide public funding for election campaigns. A quid or two for every vote gained in the previous election, would provide the means for every party to put out its message. And the BBC could be required to provide a non-stop political channel during the election campaign which would broadcast material provided by the contending parties, time to be allocated according to the number of votes received in the previous election. This measure against treason would be declared treason by the monied interests, and explains why Stephen Harper intends to eliminate all public funding of national elections in Canada.

Cammas, Shooting stars and Pacific buttercups in Uplands Park

It was a beautiful morning in Victoria today: clear blue sky, low humidity, temperature just under 20 C. Too nice to spend time indoors blogging. I cleaned the gutters instead -- inside and out. Among the dead leaves, mold, moss and other gunge to be scooped out, I found three small trees sprouting happily.

Actually, spending the morning in semi-darkness in the basement composing a very long blog post would have been more fun. Aluminum gutters with a baked-on painted finish are rubbish. The painted surface provides the perfect substrate for algae and lichens while moss grows in the joints.

An architect I worked with in Britain, decades ago, maintained that cast iron was the only type of gutter one should use, because there is nothing else that has tested and found satisfactory for over a hundred years.

Bush-Obama Program of Sexual Humiliation From Abu Ghraib to the High School Prom

Amerika's mind control program pioneered by the Bush-Cheney Usurpation at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo is now being taken mainstream by the puppet Obama.

The American people are being reduced to grovelling submission through the ever broadening application of a program of sexual humiliation, currently being rolled out at the high school prom.

The American rite of passage to adulthood has become the Amerikan rite of passage to grovelling servitude.

And despite Daniel Goldhagen's anti-German contempt, Americans, it turns out, are no better able to resist the rise of totalitarianism than Germans were able to resist Nazism.

But surely no previous great civilization has declined into such grotesquery. Let us hope that the final collapse, disintegration and disappearance of this once great nation is not long delayed.

China Warns the US: Attack Pakistan, Attack Us

Source: Outlook India

Islamabad, May 19, 2011: China today said the international community "must respect" Pakistan's sovereignty, tacitly confirming reports that it has asked the US not to violate Islamabad's territorial integrity, following the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Asked about reports that China has asked US during its recently concluded strategic dialogue with Washington to respect Pakistan's sovereignty as Islamabad came under heavy pressure after bin Laden's killing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Jiang Yu told media here that "sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan must be respected".

"We believe that Pakistan has made great contribution to international counter-terrorism efforts, as well as huge sacrifices. The international community should understand and support Pakistan's efforts to restore national stability and develop its economy," she said.

According to Pakistan's state run APP news agency, Gilani told Pakistan media here last night after his meeting with Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao that "China supported Pakistan's cause on its own".

Gilani said the Chinese conveyed a clear message to the US that "there should be no harm to the Pakistani sovereignty and the US should understand and appreciate concerns of Pakistan".

China asked the US to work with Pakistan in improving their bilateral relations in view of the present scenario, he said.

Chinese leadership conveyed to the US that Pakistan should be helped and its honour should be upheld keeping in view its sacrifices in war on terror, he said.

He quoted Wen as saying that Pakistan faced challenges in the wake of killing of bin Laden and Chinese leadership was categorical in supporting Pakistan's stance as well as its concerns over national honour and sovereignty.

China has "warned in unequivocal terms that any attack on Pakistan would be construed as an attack on China", The News daily quoted diplomatic sources as saying.

The warning was formally conveyed by the Chinese foreign minister at last week's China-US strategic dialogue and economic talks in Washington, it said.

For his part, Gilani reiterated Pakistan's support for its policy of 'One China' and said his country fully supports China on the issues of Taiwan and Tibet.

During her briefing today, Jiang skirted questions about Pakistan-China signing new defence agreements. Asked about assertions by Pakistan's Ambassador to China Masood Khan before Gilani's arrival that new defence deals would be signed, she said the two sides signed agreements in economy, technology, finance and energy resources.

"As to specific cooperation, please refer to relevant companies," she said, adding that China is actively implementing pledges to help pro-disaster reconstruction and exerting utmost to help tide over difficulties."

Is the EU Super State About To Disintegrate?

By Wayne Madsen

Strategic Culture Foundation, May 15, 2011:  The history of Europe is one of successive collapsed empires. Some, such as the Roman, Holy Roman, Ottoman, and Austro-Hungarian empires, simply overextended themselves and collapsed due to nationalist uprisings coupled with domestic political and economic inertia. Others, like the German Nazi, Soviet, Italian fascist, Napoleonic French, Spanish, and Portuguese empires collapsed as a result of their military aggression and incessant subterfuge from external forces.

The European Union appears to be suffering from the same symptoms as those experienced by the first category of failed European empires: over-extension, a stagnant and bloated bureaucracy, and economic collapse. As Europe strives to become a more unified and federal union, there has been a backlash from across its member states, with a North-South divide and economic turmoil now threatening to bring down the whole house of cards.

The rise of nationalist political parties in some of the EU’s heretofore staunchest pro-EU member nations and the collapse of some EU national economies due to predatory banking policies and America’s flooding of the global financial system with cheap dollars – a central bankers’ contrivance known as “quantitative easing” -- has created fault lines in Europe that not only threaten to bring down the euro and drive the European Central Bank into extinction but prompt some members to leave the EU altogether.

Israel in a Post-American Era

By Patrick Buchanan
The American Conservative. May 19th, 2011

 In 1918, the United States proved militarily decisive in the defeat of the Kaiser’s Germany and emerged as first power on earth.

World War II, ending in 1945, produced two truly victorious nations, the Soviet Union of Joseph Stalin and the America of Harry Truman.

Out of the Cold War that lasted from Truman to the disintegration of the Soviet Empire and breakup of the Soviet Union at the end of Ronald Reagan’s term came a lone victor: the last superpower, the United States.
Who emerged triumphant from the post-Cold War era, 1991-2011?


Indisputably, it is China, whose 10-12 percent annual growth vaulted her past Italy, France, Britain, Germany and Japan to become the world’s second largest economy and America’s lone rival for first manufacturing power.

If we use a metric called “purchasing power parity,” China overtakes America in 2016. Says the International Monetary Fund, the American era is over.

Strategically, too, the United States seems in retreat, nowhere more so than in that region that was the focus of George W. Bush’s “global democratic revolution.” And no nation reflects more the relative loss of U.S. power and influence than does Israel, whose isolation is today unprecedented. ...

The Truth About World War II

By Eric Margolis

METZ, FRANCE May 21, 2011. From this ancient fortress city, allow me, a former instructor of military history, to address three particularly misleading myths still lingering from World War II:

First: France’s army did not simply surrender or run away in 1940, as ignorant American conservatives claim.

The German blitzkrieg that smote France on May-June, 1940 was a major historical revolution in warfare. It combined rapidly-moving armor and mobile infantry, precision dive bombing, flexible logistical support, and new, high technologies in C3 – command, control and communications. In 1940, Germany led the world in technology: 75% of all technical books were then written in German.

France’s armies and generals, trained to re-fight World War I, were overwhelmed by lightning warfare. France was then still an agricultural society. Blitzkrieg was designed to strike an enemy’s brain rather than body, paralyzing his ability to manage large forces or fight. The Germans called it their `silver bullet.’

France still relied on couriers to deliver messages. French commander Gen. Gamelin, did not even have a telephone in his HQ outside Paris.

Britain’s well-trained expeditionary force in France was beaten just as quickly as the French, and saved itself only by fleeing across the Channel.

No army in the world at that time could have withstood Germany’s blitzkrieg, planned by the brilliant Erich von Manstein, and led by Heinz Guderian and Erwin Rommel: three of modern history’s greatest generals ...

LOL: Obama Says Palestine Must Be Based On 1967 Borders

By CanSpeccy

Creation of the Palestinian Archipelago

According to AP

President Barack Obama is endorsing the Palestinians' demand for their future state to be based on the borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war, in a move that will likely infuriate Israel. Israel says the borders of a Palestinian state have to be determined through negotiations.

This sounds like a fundamental change in US ME policy. But more likely just one of those standard tricks of perceptual manipulation.

It involves a big promise, which serves to get the headlines, and which is then quietly followed by a trivialization of the promise to the point of insignificance, negation or complete inversion.

David Cameron, whose preparation for the UK premiership included a stint as a corporate PR flack, and who is turning out to be a better liar even than Tony Blair, routinely exploits this technique. Thus, for example, his election campaign assertion that the problem of mass immigration to Britain needed to be "gripped" was followed by the recent lame statement that this was merely an "aspiration, not policy." Then there was his promise the other day to pull British troops out of Afghanistan, which according to the media, prompted hand-wringing in Washington and anguish among British military brass. But within days, it turned out that during the next year Britain will pull out no more than about 400 troops of a total Afghanistan contingent of ten thousand -- a promise surely to be followed in a few months by the revelation that Britain has sent hundreds of advisers, trainers, civilian aids, mercenaries, whatever to Afghanistan and that the total numbers of Brits propping up the Karzai Kleptocracy is more, not less, than today.

So how will Obama bin Lyin's promise be turned to rat shit? Easily enough. Just a quiet statement when no one is paying much attention that the terms for the creation of a Palestinian state must be subject to full and free negotiation between the parties. And since a return to the 1967 borders is not a matter for negotiation so far as Israel is concerned, O'Bomber's demand that "Palestine must be based on the 1967 borders," becomes"non-operative", to quote Richard Nixon's late, great and perhaps even lamented spin-master, Ron Zeigler.

I could be wrong. But when we have come to understand that bombing is "humanitarian," that Bin Laden had nine lives of which he may not yet have expended the last, that Fukushima, the greatest man-made environmental catastrophe of all time, is to be hardly mentioned in the MSM and that we must live in ignorance of how much radio-active material we are eating and breathing, it would throw the entire World into confusion for Obama to to be scripted with anything other than the slickest and most brilliantly polished lies.

And Now the Pushback

Netenyahu to Obama: Take It Back
Israel PM Slams Obama

And, Horror of  Horrors

Jewish Donors Warn Obama on Israel: We own the Presidency, and don't you forget it.

Wow, how brave O'Barmy looks, standing up to his paymasters. How long will he hold out? Forty-eight hours? A week? Two weeks? Perhaps he'll stick it out until Christmas. After all, what 'Barmy says won't alter the facts on the ground in the slightest.

But the word was scarcely uttered before it was taken back

In this report we see that Obama "called for a negotiated solution based on the borders that existed before the 1967 Six Day War." This embodies a blatant self contradiction, since we know that the 1967 border are not open to negotiation.

So now we know it: Obama lacks the balls to challenge Israeli dominance for more than a split second. Neverthelss, he'll have fooled a bunch of folks who may not experience the bitterness of disillusionment for months.

And the latest:

Obama ‘Clarifies’: 1967 Borders Didn’t Really Mean 1967 Borders

Jason Ditz, May 22, 2011: Speaking today at the AIPAC annual conference, President Barack Obama addressed the controversial suggestion he made that the peace process between Israel and a prospective Palestinian state start with the pre-1967 borders, before Israel occupied Palestine.

The only thing more furious than Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was the backpedalling done by Obama at the speech, where he was quick to insist simultaneously that the reference to 1967 wasn’t new and that he wasn’t really serious about it.

Rather Obama insisted that the “1967 lines” would need to be revised to account for what he referred to in the speech as “demographics changes” but what most people in the world refer to as the construction of settlements in the occupied territories. ...

Rahm Emanuel: A Return To 1967 Borders Does Not Mean a Return To 1967 Borders

U.S. President Barack Obama's former chief of staff and current Mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, attempted to assuage Israeli fears that the U.S. administration expects Israel to return to 1967 borders, clarifying that this was never Obama's policy ...

Emanuel added that 1967 borders are the starting point and not the end point for negotiations.

"That statement does not mean a return to 1967 borders," Emanuel said, adding that "no workable solution envisions that. Land swaps offer the flexibility necessary to ensure secure and defensible borders and address the issue of settlements." ...

(Like, the West bank will continue to have the appearance of severely vacuolated Swiss cheese, but in addition to the totally barren and worthless areas we didn't steal, you can have some rubbish land in Israel, exchanged at a rate of, say, one square kilometer of barren desert for ten square kilometres of the better West Bank land we've already built on.)

The Election Over, Canada Renews Anschluss Talks with US

Austria & Germany before the Anschluss

Germany neither intends nor wishes to interfere in the internal affairs of Austria, to annex Austria, or to conclude an Anschluss.

Adolf Hitler, 21st May 1935

By Dana Gabriel
Source: Global Research

It was surprising that bilateral relations with the U.S. did not play a more prominent role during the recent Canadian election considering that both countries are pursuing a trade and security agreement. In fact, the issue did not really surface until the dying days of the campaign. After winning a much coveted majority government, Stephen Harper’s Conservatives are moving ahead quickly with perimeter security and regulatory harmonization negotiations. NAFTA and the defunct Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) both addressed issues such as regulatory cooperation. The goal of creating a single unified business-friendly regulatory regime for North America now continues on different fronts.

In the final week of the Canadian election campaign, consumer advocate and four-time candidate for President of the United States, Ralph Nader warned about Canada-U.S. deep integration. In an open letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, he raised concerns over the lack of transparency regarding talks between the two countries on a trade and border security deal. Nader cautioned that a, “North American Security Perimeter Agreement will wrap many Canadian concerns — your Arctic, water, energy, anti-monopoly and foreign investment reviews — in a bi-national security blanket.” He added, “The corporatist lobbies and what President Eisenhower warned Americans about in his farewell address 50 years ago — ‘the military-industrial complex’ — will favour this lucrative and anti-democratic initiative.” Nader also explained in his letter to Harper, that, “Canada’s prudent bank regulation prevented a Wall Street style collapse of your economy.” North American deep integration is a corporate led agenda designed to foster privatization and deregulation.

With just days left before the election on May 2, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced that a re-elected Conservative government would move forward on the Shared Vision for Perimeter Security and Economic Competitiveness signed with U.S. President Barack Obama back in February of this year. ...

NATO's Secret Ground War in Libya

By Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya

Foreign Forces Were on the Ground in Libya prior to any type of U.N. Approval

U.N. Security Council Resolution 1973 only passed, because Moscow and Beijing abstained. This was a tactical move meant to limit the war.

If the resolution had been vetoed by Russia and China, in all likelihood, the U.S., Britain, France, Italy (and the Western European members of NATO) would have resorted to “other means,” including an outright invasion. By abstaining and getting the NATO powers to vocally invest themselves to U.N. Resolution 1973 and to hide behind it, Moscow and Beijing managed to limit the options of the Pentagon and NATO.

The efforts of Moscow and Beijing, however, have not hindered Washington and its NATO allies from breaching international law or U.N. Resolution 1973. Washington has casually admitted that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was on the ground supporting rebel forces. According to Washington, the involvement of U.S. intelligence agents in Libya started as soon as the U.S. embassy in Tripoli was closed. [1] February 25, 2011, is the date that the U.S. embassy in Tripoli was reported as being closed. [2] ...

Egyptian Navy Averts Isaeli Attach on Gaza Relief Ship, the Spirit of Rachel Corrie

By Prof. Michel Chossudovsky

The Spirit of Rachel Corrie (officially known as FINCH) carrying a humanitarian cargo to Gaza was attacked by an Israeli naval patrol within the so-called Palestinian Security Zone on May 15, at 10.54pm EDT.

In the course of the last few hours, Global Research has communicated several times with the Rachel Corrie vessel en route to Gaza. What is provided below is a detailed update. An earlier article was posted at 12.30am EDT  

The vessel left the Greek Port of Piraeus, on Wednesday, May 11. The humanitarian initiative is sponsored by the Perdana Global Peace Foundation (PGPF), chaired by the former Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohamad.

Participating in this mission are anti-war activists and journalists, consisting of 7 Malaysians, 2 Irish, 2 Indians and 1 Canadian. The Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG) is a partner in this endeavor. Global Research`s Julie Lévesque is on board the Rachel Corrie:

The cargo ship The Spirit of Rachel Corrie (officially known as FINCH) is carrying 7.5 kilometers of UPVC (plastic) sewage pipes to help restore the devastated sewerage system in Gaza. The ship was named after the courageous American activist who was crushed and killed by an Israeli bulldozer in 2003 while trying to prevent the demolition of another Palestinian home. She died at 23. ( Perdana's Second Press Release, Nakba and the Spirit of Rachel Corrie: Humanitarian Ship Attacked by Israel now within 1.5 nautical miles of Gazan Waters  Global Research, May 16, 2011)

The Spirit of Rachel Corrie entered Gazan waters without being detected.

The Israeli navy with its radar equipment and advanced communications technology was unaware of the Spirit of Rachel Corrie Mission.

They were unprepared.  They had received no prior information of the Rachel Corrie Mission, which had been planned for several months, scheduled to arrive off the coast of Gaza on the day of the "Nakba" commemoration. 

Ironically, Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency was unaware of this mission. The Israeli navy vessels acted in an improvised fashion, without prior knowledge or intelligence. There was no indication that they had received precise instructions from the Israeli government.

At the time of the attack, the passengers on board were under the impression that the ship was still in international waters, when in fact is was one mile inside the "Palestinian Security zone", namely in Gaza territorial waters, within a short distance of the Gaza coastline. This was an important accomplishment. 

Indicated below is the initial report sent to Global Research by text message:

At 10.54 pm Eastern Time (EDT), the Spirit of Rachel Corrie was intercepted by an Israeli ship and a Egyptian ship in international waters [correction: within Gaza Territorial waters]

10:54pm EDT, Gaza 5:54am: We have been intercepted by Israeli ship and Egyptian ship. We are disobeying the orders and sailing ahead to Gaza.

10:57pm EDT, Gaza 5:57am: One Israeli warship coming to us very fast! We are in international waters, therefore they have no right to attack us. We are still sailing ahead.

10:59pm EDT, Gaza 5:59am: They are opening fire across our ship! We are still sailing ahead.

11:09pm EDT, Gaza 6:09am: They are shooting all over the place. We can't continue ...

11:35pm EDT, Gaza 6:35am: They circled our ship twice and fired across our ship. Machine guns. No one was injured. One of the fishing nets caught the propeller, so we can't move now.

11:37pm EDT, Gaza 6:37am: The Israeli ship was coming from one end and the Egyptian ship was coming from another end. Firing. We are just stalled now. Everybody is okay. No one is injured.

Two Israeli naval vessels initially launched a "warning attack" on the Rachel Corrie, indicating that if the ship did not change course, they would shoot at the crew and the passengers. One of the passengers was almost killed as a result of the attacks. (See Bernama, May 16, 2011)

The following exchange took place between the Israeli navy and the ship as reported by the Free Malaysia Today journalist on board the Spirit of Rachel Corrie:

"Israeli army: This is a warning shot. Turn around.
Captain Jalil Mansor: We are unarmed civilians on a humanitarian mission to Gaza.

Israeli army: This is a closed military zone. It’s a violation. Turn around.
Mansor: We will continue (the mission).
The Israelis then headed to the back of the aid vessel and released a second warning shot into the air.
Graham: This is a violation (of international law). We are on a peaceful mission and unarmed.
Israeli army: Turn around. We will fire again.

Graham: You are firing towards unarmed civilians.
Israeli army: We didn’t fire towards unarmed civilians.
Graham: Looks like firing towards us.
Israeli army: We didn’t fire towards you. That is only a warning shot.
Following that conversation, the Israeli army fired two more shots and threatened: “Next time, we will land on your ship.”
Then the Egyptian navy was heard telling the Israelis on the radio: “Stop firing. They are in Egyptian waters.”
Upon realising the presence of Egyptian naval forces, the Israelis departed." (Free Malaysia Today, http://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/2011/05/16/israel-fires-warning-shots-at-msian-ship/ May 16, 2011)

Fukushima Catastrophe Far From Over

By Chris Martensen

Sunday, May 15, 2011, 3:52 pm, by cmartenson

Well, it now turns out that many of my worst fears about Fukushima have been confirmed with the news that TEPCO has finally admitted that Reactor #1 has experienced a meltdown event that may have breached the primary containment vessel. Further, truly alarming levels of radiation are now being reported in and around Tokyo.

The prospects for containing the situation at Reactor #1 are now much dimmer than previously admitted. A melted core is far more difficult to cool because the geometry of the slag heap at the bottom is not nearly as favorable as long thin tubes around which water can be relatively easily circulated.
Worse, if the slag has either melted through the primary containment vessel or somehow leaked out through a fitting that has failed, then the ability to circulate water is even more compromised....

Britain's Sellerfield nuclear
fuels processing plant

According to this news report, five men whose actions aroused suspicion outside Britain’s Sellafield nuclear plant were arrested on Monday, May 2.

The five men, who all live in London and are of Bangladeshi origin, were detained just hours after Mr. bin Laden’s death was announced.

According to the Civil Nuclear Constabulary (CNC), which polices Britain’s nuclear facilities, the men were stopped as part of a routine patrol near the perimeter of the Sellafield plant and were “unable to give a satisfactory account of their actions.” They were arrested under the Terrorism Act and questioned, then released without charge. ...

How does Britain's politically correct, white liberal-left respond? If former UK Ambassador Craig Murray's comment is indicative, they respond with a frenzied bout of self-hating racism.

Banksters and the New World Order

Cecil Rhodes

An Introduction To: None Dare Call It Conspiracy By Gary Allen and Larry Abraham

This book, said to have sold five million copies when published in 1972, is now available online, edited and nicely formatted by the Modern History Project.

The conspiracy to which the book's title alludes -- a purported plan to create a global socialist state controlled at the apex by international bankers -- appears to have little connection with reality, but no doubt, in its time, it served the right-wing Republican cause by promoting anti-Soviet paranoia and mobilizing opinion against the expansion of the American welfare state.

This political purpose detracts from what is otherwise an illuminating review of the role of a small Anglo-American elite, comprising both bankers and political figures associated with Cecil Rhodes' secret society and its public manifestations (the Round Table Groups throughout the British Empire, the Council on Foreign Relations in America, and internationally, since 1954, the Bilderberger group) in dictating the course of world events during the first two-thirds of the twentieth century.

In fact, the ruling class in both Britain and America had, for the most part, a visceral loathing for communists. That they nevertheless facilitated the Bolshevik revolution, thereby prolonging the First World War and bringing America into that conflict, was consistent with both the bankers' pursuit of profit and the drive of those inspired by Rhodes to bring about a World government.

By financing the revolutionaries, the bankers placed themselves in a position to deal profitably with the Communists thereafter, gaining access to Soviet oil and other resources and becoming intermediaries in the supply of western technology to the Soviet regime. It also placed them in a position, when the time was ripe, to promote the disintegration of the regime and to take advantage of the massive redistribution of wealth that occurred during the collapse.

By broadening and extending World War 1, the globalists hoped to create the conditions for a World Government. However, after the war, the United States Congress refused to ratify American participation in the League of Nations, the world body arising from the ashes of the global conflagration that was to serve as the precursor to a World government. Thus arose the need for a resumption of the conflict, as occurred in 1939.

Today, we see the full flowering of the globalists' plan for World Government as the US-backed, post-WW2 United Nations authorizes the subjugation of one nation after another by the NATO block.

Europe's New Genocide

By CanSpeccy

Raphael Lemkin, A Polish Jew
and legal scholar who
coined the term Genocide

Genocide is as European as civilization: five or six million Jews, six or eight million Ukranians, twenty to forty million Russian victims of Stalinist autogenocide, to name just recent incidents.

Today genocide is underway in Europe on the most massive scale yet, the entire destruction of the ancient peoples of Europe through mass immigration.

The other day, I reproduced here, a post from Jewamongyou's (JAY) blog entitled, Europe is Doomed. My post has since been removed by Blogger for, so far as I am aware, technical reasons, although disconcertingly, immediately before it disappeared an anonymous commenter had, beside the routine politically correct accusation of racism, idiocy, and general vileness, threatened to "get rid of this dreadful crap."

Quite what "crap" he found dreadful, whether the particular post or the entire content of this undoubtedly crappy blog, I am not sure. But in any case, if the post had not just then disappeared, I would have responded as follows:

China to Replace Bin Laden As Amerika's Enemy No. 1?

By Paul Craig Roberts

George Orwell, the pen name by which Eric Blair is known, had the gift of prophecy, or else blind luck. In 1949 in his novel, 1984, he described the Amerika of today and, I fear, also his native Great Britain, which is no longer great and follows Washington, licking the jackboot and submitting to Washington’s hegemony over England and Europe and exhausting itself financially and morally in order to support Amerikan hegemony over the rest of the world. 

In Orwell’s prophecy, Big Brother’s government rules over unquestioning people, incapable of independent thought, who are constantly spied upon. In 1949 there was no Internet, Facebook, twitter, GPS, etc. Big Brother’s spying was done through cameras and microphones in public areas, as in England today, and through television equipped with surveillance devices in homes. As everyone thought what the government intended for them to think, it was easy to identify the few who had suspicions.

American Dumbocracy

By CanSpeccy

The only reason Americans can look themselves in the mirror is that they are clueless and have little idea of what is being done in their name. One-third of the U.S. population actually believes that Iraq was behind 9/11 and that Bush found the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Apparently, a large percentage of the U.S. population believes that Iran has nuclear weapons and that America is in danger of being attacked by Iran. No democracy can work when people take their responsibility as citizens so lightly as to be totally ignorant.

Bush supporters dismiss anyone who tells them the truth as a traitor.  Bush supporters are as dependent on propaganda as substance abusers are  on drugs and alcohol. Try weaning Bush supporters from the obvious lies  that are the basis of this administration, and they will call you every  name in the book.

They are proud to be Americans. Lies and war crimes are an American right.

And you had better shut up or those Halliburton-built concentration camps will be your new home.

Paul Craig Roberts

When Bush lost his 1978 run for Congress from West Texas against an opponent who stressed Bush's two Ivy League degrees, Bush resolved never to allow himself to be "outdumbed again."

How brilliantly Bush has succeeded. He is supported by that third of the population, and only that third, that believes his obvious lies. Anyone who knows anything, despises Bush as a war criminal and a liar.

Even the lying New York Times and the War Mongering Washington Post, even, probably, Canada's own disgusting National Pustule and its ZioCon affiliates, acknowledge that Bush's claims about Iraq's WMD, about Saddam being behind 9/11, about Saddam and the Niger "yellow cake" were all lies. When cornered, even Bush has admitted this.

Yet approximately a third of American voters still believe these stupid, transparent and vicious lies. Bush leads an administration based on lies and supported exclusively by ignoramuses and morons. What can you call a government like that? American Dumbocracy?

PAK PM, HEADLEY AND THE CIA

Pakistan Military Knew About Bin Laden Raid Well In Advance Of Attack

Evidence is now emerging that the Pakistani government and military not only knew of America’s plans to launch an attack on Osama bin Laden’s compound far in advance, but assisted the United States in the effort.
According to GlobalPost, the Pakistan government’s willingness to continue the narrative that they were caught totally by surprise is in response to their fear of a popular backlash among the Pakistani people were they to know that their government and military had helped the Americans execute the raid.

One senior military official, who asked not to be named because he is not permitted to speak to the press, said that Pakistani army troops were in fact providing backup support when the United States began its operations inside the compound where bin Laden had been staying, including sealing off the neighborhood where the compound was located.”
Via Global Post

Adding further support to the notion that Pakistan was in on the mission, a number of local residents have confirmed to the BBC that they were visited by Pakistani army personnel two hours before the attack commenced, ordering them to switch off the lights inside and outside their homes and instructing them to stay indoors until they were informed it was safe to come out. ...

Americans Are Living In 1984

By Paul Craig Roberts

The White House’s “death of bin Laden” story has come apart at the seams. Will it make any difference that before 48 hours had passed the story had changed so much that it no longer bore any resemblance to President Obama’s Sunday evening broadcast and has lost all credibility?

So far it has made no difference to the once-fabled news organization, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), which on May 9, eight days later, is still repeating the propaganda that the SEALs killed bin Laden in his Pakistani compound, where bin Laden lived next door to the Pakistani Military Academy surrounded by the Pakistani army.

US Higher Education Bubble Next to Burst

Source: National Inflation Association

The National Inflation Association (NIA) is pleased to officially announce that it will soon be releasing its hour long documentary 'College Conspiracy', which will expose the U.S. college education system as the largest scam in U.S. history. NIA has been producing 'College Conspiracy' for the past six months and plans to release the movie on May 15th. NIA members will be given the first opportunity to watch this must see documentary, which we hope will change the college education industry for the better.

NIA expects 'College Conspiracy' to take college education by storm and expose the facts and truth about tuition inflation to prospective college students. Almost everybody applying to college has heard the oft-repeated statistic that Americans with college degrees earn $1 million more in lifetime income than high school graduates without a degree. This is one of those statistics that gets repeated so many times that just about everybody accepts it as fact, but nobody actually does the research to confirm whether or not it is true. 'College Conspiracy' will prove once and for all if indeed this so-called statistic is true or just a myth.

If 70.1% of high school graduates enroll in a college or university, how does a college degree give you an advantage over the rest of the population? Back in the early 1960s, Americans didn't need to go to college. We were a creditor nation with a strong manufacturing base. With an unemployment rate of only 5%, jobs were available to almost everybody. Less than 50% of American high school graduates enrolled into college. For those who did attend college and graduate with a degree, it was actually something special that made you stand out from the rest of the field, because not everybody had one.

36 Statistics Which Prove That The American Middle Class Is Targeted for Destruction

The U.S. middle class is being shredded, ripped apart and systematically wiped out.  If you doubt this, just check out the statistics below.  The American Dream is being transformed into an absolute nightmare.  Once upon a time, the rest of the world knew that most Americans were able to live a middle class lifestyle.  Most American families had nice homes, most American families had a car or two, most American families had nice clothes, most American families had an overabundance of food and most American families could even look forward to sending their children to college if that is what the kids wanted to do.  There was an implicit promise that this was the way that it was always going to be.  Most of us grew up believing that if we worked really hard in school and that if we stayed out of trouble and that if we did everything that "the system" told us to do that there would be a place for us in the middle class too.  Well, it turns out that "the system" is breaking down.  There aren't enough good jobs for all of us anymore.  In fact, there aren't very many crappy jobs either.  Millions are out of work, millions have lost their homes and nearly all of the long-term economic trends just keep getting worse and worse.  So is there any hope for the U.S. middle class?
No, there is not.
Unless fundamental changes are made economically, financially and politically, the long-term trends that are destroying the U.S. middle class will continue to do so.
The number of good jobs has been declining for a long time.  The good jobs that have been lost are being replaced by a smaller number of low paying "service jobs".
Meanwhile, the cost of everything is going up.  It is getting really hard for American families to be able to afford to put food on the table and to put gas in the tank.  Health care costs are absolutely outrageous and college tuition is now out of reach for millions of American families.
Every single month more American families fall out of the middle class.  Today there are 18 million more Americans on food stamps than there were just four years ago.  More than one out of every five U.S. children is living in poverty.  Things are getting really, really bad out there.
The following are 36 statistics which prove that the American Dream is turning into an absolute nightmare for the middle class....
#1 The competition for decent jobs in America has gotten absolutely insane.  There have been reports of people actually getting down on their knees and begging for jobs.  Many Americans are starting to wonder if they will ever get a decent job again.  According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average duration of unemployment in the United States is now an all-time record 39 weeks....

#2 According to the Wall Street Journal, there are 5.5 million Americans that are unemployed and yet are not receiving unemployment benefits.
#3 The number of "low income jobs" in the U.S. has risen steadily over the past 30 years and they now account for 41 percent of all jobs in the United States.
#4 Only 66.8% of American men had a job last year.  That was the lowest level that has ever been recorded in all of U.S. history.
#5 Once upon a time, anyone could get hired at McDonald's.  But today McDonald's turns away a higher percentage of applicants than Harvard does.  Approximately 7 percent of all those that apply to get into Harvard are accepted.  At a recent "National Hiring Day" held by McDonald's only about 6.2 percent of the one million Americans that applied for a job were hired.
#6 There are now about 7.25 million fewer jobs in America than when the recession began back in 2007. ...

Yo! Conform or Die?

Source: YaYa Canada, May 10, 2011

Contributor: "Yo Momma"

It requires extreme mental fortitude to go against hard-wiring, and conformity is hard-wired because it can help us survive as members of "society".

Each time the US government presents the public with "evidence" that they bagged Osama, it becomes increasingly obvious that it's a hoax. And yet the US government each time is increasingly more forceful in its determination that the public accept it as truth. People who openly question are insulted and ridiculed. It seems the US government's attitude is shut up and accept it.

This all reminds me of a really good video about the effect the need for conformity has on perception: If you show 20 people a picture of an apple and ask them what they see and 19 have been instructed to say "pear", the 20th person will likely say apple at first.

If you repeat this long enough the 20th person will eventually give in to popular opinion and will say pear just to be accepted as one of the group.

The media are flooding us with disinformation and mocking anyone who questions it because they know that the need to conform will eventually kick in and the majority of people will accept it as truth.

I also think they used the same tactic with the assassination of JFK, Bobby Kennedy and MLK. They told everyone the apple was in fact a pear - over and over - until finally everyone saw a pear.
