From Madonnas quest to neutralise radiation to Tom Cruises dismissals of psychiatry, celebrities are seldom shy about expressing their views on health and science even when they appear not to know what they are talking about.

A roll call of public figures such as Cruise and Delia Smith have offered bogus advice or quackery this year, according to scientists and doctors. The charity Sense About Science is concerned that celebrities mislead the public when they endorse theories, diets or health products while misrepresenting the science involved.

Black smoke billowed over Gaza City, where the dead and wounded lay scattered on the ground after more than 30 air strikes destroyed Palestinian security compounds, including two where Hamas was hosting graduation ceremonies for new recruits.

ISRAEL
PALESTINE

The attack on the Gaza strip is proof that Israel is addicted to violence. Slaughtering 155 civilians, many of whom are women and children, can not be justified.
Every nation state has the right to defend itself against terrorism and wanton aggresion but this attack is both disgraceful and disproportionate, and Israel, a nation which has endured much suffering in its relatively short history, should recognise this. Imagine the international response if the UK committed such an act in today in Afghanistan.

The war in Gaza, the bloodshed, killing, destruction and suffering on both sides of the border are the vicious folly of a bankrupt government. A government which let itself be dragged by adventurous officers and cheap nationalist demagoguery, dragged into a destructive and unnecessary war which will bring no solution to any problem neither to the communities of southern Israel under the rain of missiles nor to the terrible poverty and suffering of besieged Gaza.

Tags:

ISRAEL
PALESTINE

IMEMC correspondent in Gaza Rami Al-Meghari says, it appears the Israeli air strike targeted the Palestinian Police headquarters in the central Gaza Strip and a small police outpost nearby.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Again, here is the problem. Israel is not attacking missile launchers. It is attacking the civil infrastructure of a government elected by the Palestinian people. The selection of targets is what gives away that the real agenda is to wreck Gaza rather than to stop the Qassams.
If Israel really wanted the Qassams to stop, they would give the Gazan police the equipment and supplies to hunt down the people shooting the rockets. Instead the Israelis are doing everything they can to make sure the Gazan police are unable to do anything at all. One has to wonder why that is?

The Gleiwitz incident
Tags:

COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS
HIDDEN HISTORY

The Gleiwitz incident, sometimes incorrectly referred to as Operation Canned Goods, was a staged attack on 31 August 1939 against the German radio station Sender Gleiwitz in Gleiwitz, Upper Silesia, Germany (since 1945: Gliwice, Poland) on the eve of World War II in Europe.
This provocation was one of several actions in Operation Himmler, a Nazi Germany SS project to create the appearance of Polish aggression against Germany, which would be used to justify the subsequent invasion of Poland.

Webmaster's Commentary:

In recent months we have seen Israel adopt Nazi style tactics against the people of Gaza. It stands to reason that Israel would follow one of the more infamous of Der Fuhrer's methods to initiate a war while blaming the victim.

If Israel really was worried about the Qassam, why would they destroy the only civil force working to stop those attacks?
That's like Russia saying it wants to stop terrorism happening in the US and then attacks our army and police force. It should be obvious that the real agenda is to crush the government, and terror is just the excuse.

One technique the Federal Reserve uses for controlling how fast (or how slow) the money supply can grow is through a reserve requirement for bank deposits.

They received a notice last week from Syracuse police Chief Gary Miguel, giving them five days to leave their two-family house at 114 Baker Ave. They were supposed to move out by Christmas Eve.
The property is being closed for six months under the city's nuisance abatement law because of drug arrests at the house, Miguel said.

Shuttered bakery reopens, rehires workers

ECONOMY

An Ohio bakery shut down in October is bustling again, with 60 eager employees who had expected a Christmas on the unemployment rolls.
Some 300 workers lost their jobs when the Archway cookie factory in Ashland, Ohio, was suddenly closed by the private equity firm that owned it. The workers also were left without benefits like health insurance.
But then Lance Inc., a Charlotte, North Carolina-based snack food company, purchased Archway at a bankruptcy auction. And last week 60 workers were asked to return immediately, with perhaps more coming back in the months ahead.

I watched as suspect after suspect in the case was released, but Mohammad and an Iraqi man were put on trial. I felt at that point there was no hope, though I was still certain of his innocence. A man who knows his wife is in custody and his baby boy with social services can be persuaded to say all kinds of things even without "enhanced interrogation techniques." But not this time. This week I heard he'd been acquitted and cleared of all charges. So Hallelujah, Allahu Akbar and Merry Christmas.

Crisis widens appeal of Islamic finance
Tags:

ECONOMY

France is becoming the latest country to woo Islamic banks, which avoided much of the damage from the subprime mortgage crisis by following strict principles laid out in the Quran as the global financial crisis broadens the appeal of Islamic finance.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Western bankers have made themselves demigods with a combination of usury and legalized state-sanctioned counterfeiting. They attack anyone who represents any threat ot their enslavement of others, whether it is the Islamic system of lending or the re-introduction of fixed worth monetary systems.
And, contrary to the popular myth promulgated by the "Clash of Civilization" aficionados, the prohibition against usury (compound interest) is not confined to the Quran, but is found in the Bible itself. The following are taken from the King James version of the Bible (and I'll bet your pastors never read these to you from the pulpit!)
25 " If you lend money to any of My people who are poor among you, you shall not be like a moneylender to him; you shall not charge him interest.

26 "If you ever take your neighbor's garment as a pledge, you shall return it to him before the sun goes down.

27 "For that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin. What will he sleep in? And it will be that when he cries to Me, I will hear, for I am gracious. (Exodus 22:25-27)
36 'Take no usury or interest from him; but fear your God, that your brother may live with you.

37 'You shall not lend him your money for usury, nor lend him your food at a profit. (Leviticus 25:36-37)
19 " You shall not charge interest to your brother -- interest on money or food or anything that is lent out at interest.
(Deuteronomy 23:20)
10 Woe is me, my mother, That you have borne me, A man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent for interest, Nor have men lent to me for interest. Every one of them curses me. (Jeremiah 15:10)
7 If he has not oppressed anyone, But has restored to the debtor his pledge; Has robbed no one by violence, But has given his bread to the hungry And covered the naked with clothing;

8 If he has not exacted usury Nor taken any increase, But has withdrawn his hand from iniquity And executed true judgment between man and man;

9 If he has walked in My statutes And kept My judgments faithfully -- He is just; He shall surely live!" Says the Lord GOD. (Ezekiel 18:7-9)

---------
13 If he has exacted usury Or taken increase -- Shall he then live? He shall not live! If he has done any of these abominations, He shall surely die; His blood shall be upon him. (Ezekiel 18:13)
17 Who has withdrawn his hand from the poor And not received usury or increase, But has executed My judgments And walked in My statutes -- He shall not die for the iniquity of his father; He shall surely live! (Ezekiel 18:17)
12 "In you they take bribes to shed blood; you take usury and increase; you have made profit from your neighbors by extortion, and have forgotten Me," says the Lord GOD. (Ezekiel 22:12)

Thousands of protestors demand end to Israeli raids in Gaza

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINEPROTESTS

Thousands of people demanded an end to Israeli raids in the Gaza
Strip in a protest Tuesday outside the US State Department in
Washington.
Protestors carrying red-white-green-and-black Palestinian flags and
wearing black-and-white checkered head scarves chanted slogans like
"Stop the Killing, Stop the War, Stop the Genocide of Palestinians."
Some of them also held aloft banners that read "Stop US Aid to Israel" and "Free, Free Palestine."
An AFP reporter said there initially appeared to be around 200
protestors, but a larger crowd returned to the State Department later
in the evening following a march to the White House.
A police officer told AFP he estimated the later crowd at around
2,500 protesters, while organizers said the number was closer to 5,000
people.

Global warming: Reasons why it might not actually exist

Tags: SCIENCE/HEALTH

2008 was the year man-made global warming was disproved, according
to the Telegraph's Christopher Booker. Sceptics have long argued that
there are other explanations for climate change other than man-made CO2
and here we look at some of the arguments put forward by those who
believe that global warming is all a hoax.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Last
night we were awakened by another thunderstorm, not unlike the one
which blacked out the island a few days ago. My wife observed that we
have never seen this much lightning in the many years we have lived
here on Oahu. And this is certainly true.
Now then, quick meteorology lesson. Lightning is the result of
static electricity created by the interaction between tiny rising
droplets of water and falling bits of ice all within the storm cloud
system. So, when you have lightning, it means that somewhere above you
there is hail. The more lightning, the more hail. So, for Hawaii to be
seeing an increase in lightning storms, it means we not only have hail
high in the sky over Hawaii, we have MORE of it this year than in
previous years. This is consistent with the fact that this year's
temperatures have been cooler.

The link between Pollard and Kadish is a now-defunct Israeli
intelligence agency known as the Scientific Relations Office. The
office was run by Rafi Eitan, a former agent with Israel's Mossad spy
agency who is now a Cabinet minister.

the lines of the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia (ICTY),
which was established by the Security Council.
The purpose of the ICTI would be to investigate and prosecute
Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide against the
Peoples of Lebanon and Palestine--just as the ICTY did for the victims

As the media struggles to get up-to-date information, television

Israel
was established 60 years ago this month. Israelis are celebrating, but
Arabs recall the states founding as the Nakba, or catastrophe.
Whats your view?

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

When Israel was established in May 1948, its leaders pledged that
the new state would be a model of justice in the world a light unto
the nations. They told the world that they were founding a country in
which, at long last, Jews would live in peace and security. They said
that Israel would be a self-sufficient nation where Jews would prosper
on the basis of their own labor, abilities and efforts.
Israels leaders declared that they were creating a new society in
which Jews would finally live as a normal people in a country of
their own. Israel and its founding ideology, Zionism, was supposed to
solve the centuries-old problem of tension between Jews and non-Jews.
Although Israelis cite some impressive achievements over the past 60
years, the Zionist state has failed to achieve its proclaimed goals.
Far from being a beacon of morality, it has deservedly earned a
global reputation as an oppressive, self-righteous, arrogant and
belligerent state.

Despite international outcry over escalating violence, the U.S.
mainstream media continues to privilege a prepackaged narrative in
which Israel's actions are never disproportionate, never
counterproductive and certainly never gratuitous. According to the
mainstream media, the U.S. must continue uncompromisingly supporting
Israel because the allegedly beleaguered democracy is held hostage by
monomaniacal Islamofascists who are inherently evil. Promoting a
paradigm in which Israel is always David up against Goliath, the U.S.
media presents suffering Palestinians as expendable for the greater
cause of Israel winning its epic struggle. To justify U.S.'s carte
blanche to Israel, the mainstream media restricts American readers to
an echo chamber in which the following claims are repeated ad nausem
until they are mistaken for fact:

The genocidal Israeli onslaught against the Palestinian people in
the Gaza Strip is strikingly similar to the German blitz in the initial
stage of the Second World War. The pretexts are nearly the same and the
behaviors of both Nazi and Israeli political and military leadership

And as the German Nazis sought to justify their blitz against their
neighbors to the east, using a plethora of carefully concocted lies and
pretexts, Israel is doing virtually the same thing.
However, unlike the Nazis whose naked aggression was widely

How The Spartan Jew Was Born

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

While living my childhood in occupied Palestine, I witnessed
unexplainable negative emotions (often in the forms hatred and anger)
from Israelis, many of whom were young soldiers humiliating
Palestinians daily whenever they can. I always knew there is more to it
than just the normal hatred or anger between enemies. However, I could
not understand what's the source of this abnormal hatred and anger?
Frankly, I thought that we Palestinians should be angrier, not the
Israelis, after all Israelis are the ones who dispossessed and thrown
us out of our homeland; not the other way around. Years passed, I
immigrated to the United States, and I was in touch with more Zionists
(Jews and non-Jews alike). Overtime, I developed a theory for this

The Israeli
airstrikes on the Gaza Strip represent severe and massive violations of
international humanitarian law as defined in the Geneva Conventions,
both in regard to the obligations of an Occupying Power and in the
requirements of the laws of war
Even the most naive American voter cannot be expected to see the
morally, legally and politically questionable death sentence given to
Saddam Hussein a milestone in the Bush Administration's illegal war in
Iraq. As the milestones pile up, so do the bodies.

Those violations include:
Collective punishment: The entire 1.5 million people who live in
the crowded Gaza Strip are being punished for the actions of a few
militants.
Targeting civilians: The airstrikes were aimed at civilian areas
in one of the most crowded stretches of land in the world, certainly
the most densely populated area of the Middle East.

As Another Memoir Is Faked, Trust Suffers

Tags: COVER-UP/DECEPTIONS

In media circles, there is a joke about facts that are too good to
check. This week Oprah Winfrey and the New York publishing industry
stumbled on yet another unverified account in the form of a Holocaust
survivor who said his future wife had helped him stay alive while he
was imprisoned as a child in a Nazi concentration camp by throwing
apples over the fence to him.
The story of Herman and Roma Rosenblat, who said they reunited years
later on a blind date in New York, turned out to be fabricated, and
over the weekend the publisher of his memoir, Angel at the Fence: The
True Story of a Love That Survived, canceled the February release of
the book.

The Post-bush recovery period

By: ringo

Tags: General DiscussionPOLITICS/ELECTIONS/CORRUPTION

The Post-bush recovery period
There are major questions outstanding regarding Bush & the
administrations culpability, substance, competence etc.. Just how did
George W. Bush morph into an insecure, sadistic juvenile incapable of
moral reasoning? Could it be that the pressures of the presidency
overwhelmed his limited capacities? That he was manipulated by men far
shrewder than himself?

W has left the USA needing a major image make-over and to promptly
redress the administrations failures. There are no good/clear answers
to our problems, however the US needs to win back confidence by bucking
up and displaying leadership.
First stop the money-corruption cycle, do away with
political-influence money and lobbyists by funding our election
campaigns exclusively from the US tax dollar with equal amounts of
money to support the top five parties/candidates. Vote with your ballot
for if you vote with the dollar big money is winning now and will win
every time.

Looks like another victim of the Bernard Madoff mess -- albeit a very minor one -- is the US taxpayer.
In September, as part of its bailout effort, the Treasury Department
made an $85 billion loan to insurance giant AIG, and got a 79.9 percent
stake in the company.
And AIG appears to be exposed to Madoff's alleged fraud. As part of

Reporters are being barred by Israel from going into Gaza to cover
the carnage. Many have been relegated to reporting from behind Israel's
declared military zone, some report from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv and rely
on phone dispatches by stringers in the Gaza Strip. The best television
coverage I've seen so far comes from Al Jazeera; the most provocative
comes from Hezbollah's Al Manar. The Israeli coverage on IBA TV and Ch

Connell declared emergency before fatal crash

Tags: ASSASSINATION

According to the NTSB, Connell initially contacted air traffic
control (ATC) at the Akron-Canton Airport to ask whether there were any
reports of icing and was told there were none. His approach was then
uneventful until ATC noted that he was left of his course and asked if
he would like to be resequenced. Connell replied "correcting." ATC then
advised him again that he was "well left of the localizer" and Connell
responded that he would "like to correct."

Webmaster's Commentary:

What this tells me is that Connell was having control problems and mis-attributed them to icing.
Remember how the initial reports of the crash all claimed he had run
out of fuel? Obviously, there was nothing to support such a claim.
Hence, we already have indications of a cover-up, and given that, I
theorize that the aircraft control systems were sabotaged in some
time-delayed manner.

The deteriorating situation in the former tourist haven comes

deal. It is especially worrisome to Pakistani officials because the
valley lies away from the areas where al-Qaida and Taliban militants
have traditionally operated and where the military is staging a

Israeli intensifies PR campaign to gain int'l sympathy for Gaza operation

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

As the Israel Defense Forces pound Gaza, senior officials have
launched an aggressive public relations campaign, in an attempt to gain
international sympathy for Operation Cast Lead.
Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni on Saturday instructed the Foreign
Ministry to take emergency measures to adapt Israel's international
public relations to the ongoing escalation in the Gaza Strip.

Webmaster's Commentary:

This
is essentially an admission that Israel knows they are morally wrong in
what they are doing, but still arrogant enough to think they can sell
it to the rest of the world.
I wonder if their "agressive" PR campaign includes shelling their
own people in Israel to have a few more bloody shirts to wave around.

Israeli ground forces massed on the border of the coastal enclave
for a possible invasion while Israeli warplanes pressed on for the

CBS newsman's $70m lawsuit likely to deal Bush legacy a new blow

As George W Bush prepares to leave the White House, at least one
unpleasant episode from his unpopular presidency is threatening to
follow him into retirement.
A $70m lawsuit filed by Dan Rather, the veteran former newsreader
for CBS Evening News, against his old network is reopening the debate
over alleged favourable treatment that Bush received when he served in
the Texas Air National Guard during the Vietnam war. Bush had hoped
that this controversy had been dealt with once and for all during the

MY BRIEF RESPONSE TO ZIONIST DISINFORMATION

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

Zionist Hasbara operatives have been claiming that the current
Israeli genocidal onslaught in Gaza is a war against Hamas and that
it was only necessitated by the firing of Palestinian rockets on Israel.
This is a big lie. Read the following:
Hamas had repeatedly said it was willing and ready to stop all
firing of projectiles from Gaza if only Israel would lift the deadly
blockade. And Israel repeatedly said No.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Israel
WANTED this war. They planned for it (you paid for it) and back on
November 5th (when you were busy looking at Obama's victory) Israel
kicked it off with a raid into Gaza that killed 6 HAMAS officials.

Windows 7: Some Minor Improvements, No Game Changer

Tags: COMPUTERS/INTERNET/SECURITY

The first advance reviews of Microsoft (MSFT) Windows 7 Beta are
starting to circulate, and here's what we know so far: It looks and
feels a lot like Vista, but adds a handful of minor performance and UI
improvements.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Worse,
Microsoft is trying to sell a "pay as you go" plan, where you are
billed for the software you use as you use it, and (presumably plugged
into a cloud network) the compute cycles.
Frankly it looks like Microsoft is just doing in real life what it
did in the latest commercials, call VISTA by another name and try to
re-sell it.
I do not know about you but I am tired of the constant requirement
for upgrades. The expense is high and the benefits few and mostly
cosmetic. Microsoft has forgotten that the customer is always right,
and has taken the attitude that we the computing public will lap up
whatever Microsoft deigns to set before us.
It ain't so. Nothing typifies the arrogance and greed of US
corporations over the last few decades more than Microsoft. And we the
people are fed up with it.
I do not want VISTA. I do not want Windows 7. I especially do not
want a newer operating system that places more control over MY hardware
in the hands of Microsoft. XP is finally (just as they are about to
junk it) soft of stable. I am keeping my XP machines until they corrode
away and then I will replace them with LINUX boxes. I have had it with
software designed by lawyers and marketing types.

Israeli Navy attacks and wounds Dignity in International Waters

Tags: ISRAEL

On Tuesday, December 30, at 5 a.m., several Israeli gunboats
intercepted the Dignity as she was heading on a mission of mercy to
Gaza. One gunboat rammed into the boat on the port bow side, heavily
damaging her. The reports from the passengers and journalists on board
is that she is taking on water and appears to have engine problems.
When attacked, the Dignity was clearly in international waters, 90
miles off the coast of Gaza.
The gunboats also fired their machine guns into the water in an attempt to stop the mercy ship from getting to Gaza.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Shades of the Lusitania!
Only this time, there was no ammo on board!
With a US Congresswoman aboard Dignity, it will be interesting to
see how the whores in Washington (and Kailua) spin this as anything but
a serious breach of international and diplomatic protocols by Israel.
If the US Government fails to respond, it will signal to the world that
Israel does indeed have a stranglehold on the government of the United
States.
Look at it this way. If a Navy vessel belonging to an Arab nation
intentionally attacked a mercy ship carrying a US Congresswoman, how
would the US media and government react?
Please repost this story everywhere you can!
UPDATE: Israel's official comment, being parroted all over the US
Corporate media as I type this, is that Dignity rammed the Israeli
gunboat! Of course, this lie will not survive when the photos and
videos taken by the journalists on board Dignity reach shore, but that
is the claim Israel is making; that tiny little Dignity chased down and
rammed a warship!
UPDATE 2: Aware that video of the ramming will soon reach the
internet Israel has now changed its story and is now saying that they
did not know it was an aid ship when they rammed it.

This is, of course, the same lame excuse Israel made following their attack on the USS Liberty
Maybe the world needs to take away Israel's weapons until they can learn to choose their targets more carefully.

The Politics of An Israeli Extermination Campaign: Backers, Apologists and Arms Suppliers

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

Because of the unconditional support of the entire political class
in the US, from the White House to Congress, including both Parties,
incoming and outgoing elected officials and all the principle print and
electronic mass media, the Israeli Government feels no compunction in
publicly proclaiming a detailed and graphic account of its policy of
mass extermination of the population of Gaza.
Israels sustained and comprehensive bombing campaign of every
aspect of governance, civic institutions and society is directed toward
destroying civilized life in Gaza. Israels totalitarian vision is
driven by the practice of a permanent purge of Arab Palestine informed
by Zionism, an ethno-racist ideology, promulgated by the Jewish state

REFLECTIONS ON THE ISRAELI HOLOCAUST IN GAZA

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

The virtual holocaust Israel is now waging against the Gaza Strip is
taking its toll on innocent civilians. The shocking scenes speak for
themselves. The gruesomeness transcends reality; it exceeds by far the
most eloquent of words.
Gaza-2008-9 is very much like Dresden-1945. And as Dresden was
annihilated by the RAF toward the end of the Second World War, the 1.5
million inhabitants of Gaza are being decapitated and thoroughly
terrorized by the Israeli army, the Wehrmacht of our time.

George Washington's warnings and U.S. policy towards Israel

Tags: DICTATORSHIP

There sure is a lot of agreeing going on -- one might describe it as
"absolute." The degree of mandated orthodoxy on the Israel question
among America's political elites is so great that if one took the
statements on Gaza from George Bush, Pelosi, Hoyer, Berman,
Ros-Lehtinen, and randomly chosen Bill Kristol-acolytes and redacted
their names, it would be impossible to know which statements came from
whom. They're all identical: what Israel does is absolutely right. The
U.S. must fully and unconditionally support Israel. Israel does not
merit an iota of criticism for what it is doing. It bears none of the
blame for this conflict. No questioning even of the wisdom of its
decisions -- let alone the justifiability -- is uttered. No deviation
from that script takes place.

Mark Steel: So what have the Palestinians got to complain about?

Tags: PALESTINE

When you read the statements from Israeli and US politicians, and
try to match them with the pictures of devastation, there seems to be
only one explanation. They must have one of those conditions, called
something like "Visual Carnage Responsibility Back To Front Upside Down
Massacre Disorder".
The Israeli government suffers terribly from this confusion. They
probably have adverts on Israeli television in which a man falls off a
ladder and screams, "Eeeeugh", then a voice says, "Have you caused an
accident at work in the last 12 months?" and the bloke who pushed him
gets £3,000.
The gap between the might of Israel's F-16 bombers and Apache
helicopters, and the Palestinians' catapulty thing is so ridiculous
that to try and portray the situation as between two equal sides
requires the imagination of a children's story writer.

Obama Moves to Counter China in Space With Pentagon-NASA Link

Tags: SCIENCE/HEALTH

President-elect Barack Obama will probably tear down long-standing
barriers between the U.S.s civilian and military space programs to
speed up a mission to the moon amid the prospect of a new space race
with China.

Webmaster's Commentary:

While
I am sharply critical of the "New NASA" management, linking it to the
Pentagon is not the answer because any new technologies developed by
the pairing will likely be classified for military purpose, whicih
means the civilian technology market doe snot get the spin-off beneits
which are the main reason taxpayuers should fund a space program.
In other words, under the Obama plan taxpayers get all the costs of a space race, but none of the benefits!
We are going backwards here!
And Obama is obviously deficient on the early history of the US
Space Program. The reason NASA came into being is because the US
military, which had control of the space project, was unable to get
their Vanguard launch vehicles to work at all, which is why the USSR
got Sputnik into orbit first. Because of the embarrassment, overall
control of the nation's space program was transferred to the civilian
NACA, which put Explorer 1 into orbit using a Juno rocket (modified
Jupiter-C). Following that success, NACA became NASA and our space
program a civilian one (the US military maintained their own secret
parallel program).
I am not sure we gain anything going back to a militarily controlled space program.

Americas GDP may have fallen by an annualised 6% in the fourth

policymakers are unlikely to repeat the mistakes of the past. In the
Great Depression, the Fed let hundreds of banks fail and the money
supply shrink by one-third, while the government tried to balance its

U.S. steel industry urges "buy America" recovery plan

Daniel DiMicco, chairman and chief executive of Nucor Corp, a giant
steel maker, told the paper the industry was asking the incoming
administration to "deal with the worst economic slowdown in our
lifetime through a recovery program that has in every provision a 'buy
America' clause."

Webmaster's Commentary:

At
first glance a "Buy American" clasue sounds really good, and I would
tend to agree, but we need to remember that protectionism in any form
is often used as a license to sell substandard products at higher
prices. One of the reasons our economy is in the dumps is that the
quality of American products has declined while prices have risen (the
inevitable result of sky-high executive salaries). This is what opened
the door to foreign competition.
So, while I would support a "Buy American" policy, it must be paired
with a set of price and quality benchmarks that must be met.

Gaza rockets put Israels nuclear plant in battle zone

By: poorrichard

Tags: ISRAEL

Israeli
officials say that Hamas has also acquired dozens of Iranian-made
Fajr-3 missiles with an even longer range. Many fear that as the group
acquires ever more sophisticated weaponry it is only a matter of time
before the nuclear installation at Dimona, 20 miles east of Beersheba,
falls within its sights. Dimona houses Israels only nuclear reactor
and is believed to be where nuclear warheads are stored.
Maybe Hamas will get a big present from Iran or Hezbollah, a few
good long-range missiles and theyll use it, said Limor Brina, 40, a
jeweller who is learning the lessons of life under rocket threat: she
sleeps with her clothes on and heads to a shelter whenever the siren
sounds.
Israels worst nightmare is that soon all its cities will be within
range either of the Hezbollah Katyushas arrayed on the Lebanese border
to the north or the increasingly sophisticated missiles stockpiled by
Hamas to the south. Both groups have links to Israels archenemy Iran.

The problem with an M1 multiplier below one is that the effect of
printing money is of course multiplied by the velocity. That is, if you
print up $10 into the economy the impact it has on economic activity
depends on how many times that $10 circulates in a given amount of
time. The more it circulates the higher the impact and the more your
efforts do for the economy.
The bad news is that when the multiplier is less than one the more
money you spew into the economy the worse the impact, as you get less
for each additional dollar.

Israel believes its has won broad international support in the media
for its actions in Gaza thanks to its PR strategy, which through a new
body has for months been concerned with formulating plans and
role-playing to ensure that government officials deliver a clear,
unified message to the world's press.
The body, known as the National Information Directorate, was set up
eight months ago following recommendations from an Israeli inquiry into
the 2006 Lebanon war. Its role is to deal with hasbara - meaning, in
Hebrew, "explanation", and referring variously to information, spin,

The directorate's chief, Yarden Vatikai, said: "The hasbara
apparatus needed a body that would co-ordinate its agencies, coordinate
the messages and become a platform for co-operation between all the
agencies that deal with communication relations and public diplomacy."

A Curious Case of Cynthia McKinney.

Tags: CORPORATE MEDIAISRAEL

So the Israelis come out into international waters and scatter the
waves with machine gun fire and then ram this boat, Dignity and some
people are asking if it even happened or happened anywhere near the way
they said it happened because Cynthia, you know, she likes to push
policemen around and shes got that 9/11 virus. Official sources say
that this boat, which isnt built for the job, took evasive action and
thats why it happened when the boats that are designed for this sort
of thing hit her. Later it was just called an accident that happened
three times. The cool thing about dealing with reality instead of
fiction is that you dont have to stretch the truth cause the truth
will just stretch itself to contain whatever's needed to prove once
again that truth is stranger than fiction depending on your version of
the truth.

The intelligence

Tags: ISRAEL

Israeli power is, of course, extremely creative in determining the
fields of law, morality and knowledge within which it operates. After
all, when the IDF slaughtered women outside a mosque in plain view not
only of the public but of the cameras, it was immediately explained by
Israeli spokespeople and their apologists that the women were in fact
part of a cunning Hamas military operation to stop morally upright
Israeli men from killing morally degenerate Palestinian men. So, they
were a legitimate target. And besides, it was hinted, why do they get
to wear the veil? What are they hiding? So, if needs must, the very
category of civilian, adult or child, male or female, can be conjured
out of existence. And then Lt Gen Ashkenazi can come out to the podium
and explain: "our intelligence shows that 1.5 million terrorists were
eliminated today..."

440 retailers to go bust in first four months of the year, analysts predict

Tags: ECONOMY

The forecast comes as Morgan, the French fashion chain, becomes the
latest victim of the crisis on the high street, collapsing into
administration. It joins a lengthening list of shop groups to have
failed this week alone, including clothing store USC, Adams
childrenswear group and Olan Mills the photography studio.
Experian, a data company which analyses the sector, predicts that a
total of 440 retail businesses will go into administration in the first
four months of 2009, equating to nearly 26 every week. This would be
the worst period for shopkeepers since the depths of the winter of
discontent thirty years ago.
Very few shops will escape completely unscathed, Experian predicts,
with major chains with branches on most high streets as well as
small, individual retailers all being hit by the severe consumer

Obama has made no public comment on the strikes, which Israel

there is only one U.S. president at a time.

The truth about those Hamas rockets

By: poorrichard

Tags: ISRAEL

Five years ago,
the Bush administration lied about weapons of mass destruction to dupe
us into supporting an illegal, immoral invasion of Iraq.
A few days ago, Israel trotted out only an infinitesimally more
credible excuse -- the Hamas rockets case -- as justification for its
own murderous shock and awe in Gaza, a long-planned campaign
perniciously aimed at ousting a regime that came to power via
popular, democratic vote.
Yes, such rockets exist, but theyre little more than slingshots
against Israels incredible military might, and theyre used out of
desperation by Palestinians whove never been accorded the democratic
space within which to gain redress of their eminently just grievances.
Israeli apologists have presented absurd propaganda about those devices.
Weve been asked, for instance, what would we do if rockets were
being launched on our homes in New York or Texas, from Canada or Mexico?

JINSA Accuses Iran of Facilitating Rocket Attacks on Israel

* Monday December 29, 2008, 4:23 pm EST
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Jewish Institute for National
Security Affairs today accused Iran of facilitating Hamas rocket
attacks on Israel.
The role of Iran in the training and buildup of the Hamas arsenal
has been regrettably overlooked by the worlds media and many of its
political leaders, said Tom Neumann, executive director of the
Institute.
Hamass rocket attacks have become longer range and more lethal as a result of Iranian assistance and training, he said.
No country can remain on the sidelines while its towns and villages
are subject to daily barrages of rockets, Neumann said. Israels
military response to the attacks came only after it had exhausted all
other means.

Israeli Journalist Decries Civilian Casualties in Gaza

By Greg Mitchell
NEW YORK (December 31, 2008) -- A powerful column appeared Tuesday
in the Jerusalem daily Haaretz, written by one of its top
correspondents, Amira Hass, reporting on Gaza, which opens: "This isn't
the time to speak of ethics, but of precise intelligence. Whoever gave
the instructions to send 100 of our planes, piloted by the best of our
boys, to bomb and strafe enemy targets in Gaza is familiar with the
many schools adjacent to those targets -- especially police stations.
He also knew that at exactly 11:30 A.M. on Saturday, during the
surprise assault on the enemy, all the children of the Strip would be
in the streets - half just having finished the morning shift at school,
the others en route to the afternoon shift."

Palestinians killed in a single Sabbath's blitz (Dec. 27). Polls now
predict five additional Knesset seats for his Labor Party in the coming
February general election. That's 40 Palestinian corpses per seat. No
wonder he promises it's just the beginning: at this pace, it will take
Labor just about two thousand additional corpses to go from rags to
riches, from a dead political party to an absolute majority in
parliament like in the good old days. For Barak, then, the Gaza
obituaries are a matter of political survival: they are pasted up on

Israeli rabbis: Thou shalt kill civilians

"When a population living near a Jewish town sends bombs at the
Jewish town with the purpose of killing and destroying Jewish lives
there, it is permitted, according to Jewish Law, to fire shells and
bombs at the firing sites, even if they are populated by civilians,"
read a ruling issued by Rabbi Yaakov Yosef, Rabbi Dov Lior, Rabbi

The ruling seems to give a free hand to Israeli commanders to attack
Gaza's civilian population and persuade those troops who have
reservations to kill civilians due to humanitarian considerations.

The seven-page letter (pdf), dated July 15, argues that disclosure
of such records would hinder future presidents' ability to receive
guidance from their advisers because Cheney's conversations detailed
internal White House deliberations. The House Oversight and Government
Reform Committee requested the transcripts along with other documents
related to its investigation into the leak of former CIA agent Valerie
Plame's identity.

Webmaster's Commentary:

That
headline should have read: "Mukasey's recommendation of exec privilege
to hide Cheney's venal contempt for the intelligence community, and to
destroy Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame."

FPA Statement 5 on the Gaza Strip Massacre

By: mytrueword

Tags: PALESTINE

Consecutive Statements of the Free Palestine Alliance

A Tribute to Our Youth:

FPA Statement 5 on the Gaza Strip Massacre

December 31, 2008
This is the fifth in a series of statements the FPA is issuing daily
on the ongoing Gaza massacre that has entered its fifth day. As of the
time of writing this statement, at least 394 Palestinians have been
murdered and more than 2,000 have been injured. The number of killed
and injured continues to rise as the Zionist Israeli army persists in
its savagery and more people are uncovered from under destroyed homes
and neighborhoods.
The intense bombardment has been indiscriminate, targeting homes,
markets, schools, neighborhoods, places of worship, along with
administrative offices and government centers. Lest it is forgotten,
these bombs are raining on the roofs and streets of a starved and
besieged people, whose only lifeline and access to the world have been
mere hand-made tunnels that have now been completely destroyed.

WTC7: NIST Finally Admits Freefall (Part II)

By: StingRay

Tags: 911

This video is a followup to

----------------------------

In its draft report, released in August 2008, NIST attempted to cover
up evidence that WTC7 fell at freefall, but the coverup was
transparent. In its final report, released in November 2008, NIST
finally acknowledged freefall, but couched it in a bizarre framework
that continues to deny its clear significance. Part I chronicles NIST's
attempted obfuscation and eventual admission of freefall. Part II
demonstrates that their replacement theory is based on fabricated
evidence and is a continuation of the coverup. Part III will spell out
the significance of NIST's admission of freefall.

We should not be reassured by such claims that Israel cannot fight

THE HANUKKAH MASSACRES

On the seventh day of Hanukkah, 2008, as Jews around the world were
lighting the seventh candle on the menorah, commemorating the
victorious rebellion of Judah Macabbee and the re-dedication of the
Temple of Jerusalem 2200 years ago, a terrorist, Zionist entity, with
the approval of the worlds last Superpower rained down death and
destruction on men, women and children herded together on a sliver of
the land they had once cultivated and shared with their fellow Semites.
Characteristically, a spokesman for the last Superpower blamed the
herded people, the bombed and slaughtered, for their own miseries. It
seems these herded Palestinians had had the effrontery to rebel against
their Zionist masters in Tel Aviv, London, Jerusalem, New York and

Israel 's Warships off Gaza coast, too

By: mytrueword

Tags: ISRAEL

JERUSALEM -
Israel's retaliation against persistent Hamas mortar and rocket attacks
on civilians in southern Israel has been far more ferocious than
anyone, including Hamas, expected.
The first few days of intensive Israel Air Force bombing in Gaza
reduced hundreds of Hamas government buildings, military compounds,
laboratories, metal workshops and supply tunnels to rubble and left
more than 350 Palestinians, most of them militants, dead, according to
UN and Hamas officials.
But as the air strikes continued and Israeli tanks massed on the
Israel-Gaza border and Israeli warships lined up along Gaza's
Mediterranean shoreline, it was not clear how much longer the operation
would last or how its goals would be achieved.

DEAD PALESTINIAN CHILDREN HAVE NAMES TOO

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

Every time an Israeli child is harmed, the whole world mourns, and
rightly so. The whole world is informed of that childs name, his or
her parents agony, and the tragic circumstances that caused this death.
However, when a Palestinian child is harmed, no one in the world
seems to care. No one is told of his or her name. No one is informed
about the pain of the parents, siblings, and grand parents who loved
him or her. The zionist propaganda machine has succeeded in
dehumanizing Palestinians. Palestinians are portrayed as terrorists,
murderers, radicals, or sub-humans. That way, it becomes much easier
not to care about such a people, no matter how many of them are turned
into refugees, how many of their homes are demolished, how much of
their land is confiscated, how many of them are imprisoned, and how
many of them are killed or wounded.

The True Story Behind this War Is Not The One Israel Is Telling

Tags: PALESTINE

To understand how frightening it is to be a Gazan this morning, you
need to have stood in that small slab of concrete by the Mediterranean
and smelled the claustrophobia. The Gaza Strip is smaller than the Isle
of Wight but it is crammed with 1.5 million people who can never leave.
They live out their lives on top of each other, jobless and hungry, in
vast, sagging tower blocks. From the top floor, you can often see the
borders of their world: the Mediterranean, and Israeli barbed wire.
When bombs begin to fall as they are doing now with more deadly force
than at any time since 1967 there is nowhere to hide.

Robert Fisk: Why bombing Ashkelon is the most tragic irony

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

How easy it is to snap off the history of the Palestinians, to
delete the narrative of their tragedy, to avoid a grotesque irony about
Gaza which in any other conflict journalists would be writing about
in their first reports: that the original, legal owners of the Israeli
land on which Hamas rockets are detonating live in Gaza.
That is why Gaza exists: because the Palestinians who lived in
Ashkelon and the fields around it Askalaan in Arabic were
dispossessed from their lands in 1948 when Israel was created and ended
up on the beaches of Gaza. They or their children and grandchildren
and great-grandchildren are among the one and a half million
Palestinian refugees crammed into the cesspool of Gaza, 80 per cent of
whose families once lived in what is now Israel. This, historically, is
the real story: most of the people of Gaza don't come from Gaza.

Israel The Sociopathic State

Tags: ISRAEL

The unconscionable attacks of Israel upon Gaza can be seen as the
action of a sociopathic state upon a helpless victim. While the
diagnosis of sociopathy is commonly reserved for the individual, it may
be used to describe an entire society in a way that illuminates the
behavior of that society towards another group of people. Sociopathy is
a social concept by definition, and for this reason can be expanded to
describe the nature of an entire society.
The ruling quality of the sociopath is a complete lack of empathy
towards the Other. The sociopath is incapable of feeling for other
people. The Israelis have kept the Gaza strip blockaded, hermetically
sealed for a year and a half, causing untold suffering for the people
of Gaza. The lack of empathy for so many helpless human beings is
sociopathic. Israel has long held its status as a sociopathic state.

'NYT,' Most Others in U.S. Media, Silent as Israel Invades

Tags: CORPORATE MEDIAISRAEL

Israel launched its much-anticipated invasion of Gaza on Saturday.
For over a week, U.S. media had provided largely one-sided coverage of
the conflict, with little editorializing or commentary arguing against
broader Israeli actions.
Most notably, after more than eight days of Israeli bombing and
Hamas rocket launching in Gaza, The New York Times had produced exactly
one editorial, not a single commentary by any of its columnists, and
only two op-eds (one already published elsewhere). The editorial,
several days ago, did argue against the wisdom of a ground invasion - -
but even though that invasion had become ever more likely all week the
paper did not return to this subject.
Amazingly, the paper has kept that silence going in Sunday's paper,
with no editorial or columnist comment on the Israeli invasion.

Hamas claimed 76 of the 132 seats in the second Palestinian Authority

THE LAVON AFFAIR

Tags: COVER-UP/DECEPTIONSISRAEL

In 1954, Israeli agents working in Egypt planted bombs in several
buildings, including a United States diplomatic facility, and left
evidence behind implicating Arabs as the culprits. The ruse would have
worked, had not one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the
Egyptians to capture and identify one of the bombers, which in turn led
to the round up of an Israeli spy ring.
Some of the spies were from Israel, while others were recruited from
the local Jewish population. Israel responded to the scandal with
claims in the media that there was no spy ring, that it was all a hoax
perpetrated by "anti-Semites".
But as the public trial progressed, it was evident that Israel had
indeed been behind the bombing. Eventually, Israeli's Defense Minister
Pinhas Lavon was brought down by the scandal, although it appears that
he was himself the victim of a frame-up by the real authors of the
bombing project, code named "Operation Susannah."

On June 8, 1967, US Navy intelligence ship USS Liberty was suddenly
and brutally attacked on the high seas in international waters by the
air and naval forces of Israel. The Israeli forces attacked with full
knowledge that this was an American ship and lied about it. Survivors
have been forbidden for 40 years to tell their story under oath to the
American public. The USS Liberty Memorial web site tells their story
and is dedicated to the memory of the 34 brave men who died.

U.S. blocks U.N. statement on Gaza

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

The United States late Saturday blocked approval of a U.N. Security
Council statement calling for an immediate cease-fire in the Gaza Strip
and southern Israel and expressing concern at the escalation of
violence between Israel and Hamas.
U.S. deputy ambassador Alejandro Wolff said the United States saw no
prospect of Hamas abiding by last week's council call for an immediate
end to the violence. Therefore, he said, a new statement at this time
"would not be adhered to and would have no underpinning for success,
would not do credit to the council."

Webmaster's Commentary:

Totally ignoring the fact that it is Israel that has a history of ignoring UN mandates, and breaking the cease fires.

The true story behind this war is not the one Israel is telling

Tags: ISRAEL

To understand how frightening it is to be a Gazan this morning, you
need to have stood in that small slab of concrete by the Mediterranean
and smelled the claustrophobia. The Gaza Strip is smaller than the Isle
of Wight but it is crammed with 1.5 million people who can never leave.
They live out their lives on top of each other, jobless and hungry, in
vast, sagging tower blocks. From the top floor, you can often see the
borders of their world: the Mediterranean, and Israeli barbed wire.
When bombs begin to fall as they are doing now with more deadly force
than at any time since 1967 there is nowhere to hide.

State of the Sun for year end 2008: alls quiet on the solar front - too quiet

By: malterwitty

The NOAA Space
Weather Prediction center updated their plots of solar indices earlier
today, on January 3rd. With the exception of a slight increase in the
107 centimeter radio flux, there appears to be even less signs of solar
activity. Sunspots are still not following either of the two predictive
curves, and it appears that the solar dynamo continues to slumber,
perhaps even winding down further. Of particular note, the last graph
below (click the read more link to see it) showing the Average
Planetary Index (Ap) is troubling. I thought there would be an uptick
by now, due to expectations of some sign of cycle 24 starting up, but

French U.N. Ambassador Jean-Maurice Ripert, the council president,

UN: Stop Israeli 'monstrosity' in Gaza

By: poorrichard

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

UN General
Assembly chief Miguel d'Escoto has criticized the Security Council for
its inability to curb Israel's "monstrosity" in Gaza.
D'escoto criticized the UN Security Council for not showing enough
tenacity in ending Gazans suffering in the wake of the weeklong Israeli
offensive in the coastal strip.
"I think it's a monstrosity; there's no other way to name it,"
D'escoto said Saturday when asked about the Israeli incursion on Gaza.
The UN Security Council again failed to call for an immediate
ceasefire in the Gaza Strip due to US intervention. The statement would
have called on Israel to end its ground incursion into the region.
"Once again, the world is watching in dismay the dysfunctionality of the Security Council," D'escoto argued.
The two previous UN draft resolutions seeking an end to the violence
in the region have been blocked by Washington. The United States has so
far vetoed over 40 anti-Israel resolutions at the UN.

This follows the cutoff of gas supplies to Ukraine on January 1,
after the two countries gas companies failed to agree on a price for
2009.
Gazprom is now filing a lawsuit against Ukraine's Naftogaz claiming
the firm violated its obligations as a transit party. Several
countries, including Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary and the
Balkans, all say their supplies have dropped.
Our European consumers in Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Poland and
in the Balkans are reporting unlicensed siphoning off of Russian gas on
Ukrainian territory. In this situation Gazprom must provide additional
volumes of gas through other gas transporting corridors, said Gazprom
CEO Aleksy Miller.

Gaza: the Belligerence of Oppression

The
Israeli/Palestinian conflict is the most stubborn and indeed the most
volatile political dilemma facing the world. Today, as in its inception
over sixty years ago, the victims are denied their day in court. The
cruelly caged, oppressed people of Palestine have a story to tell in
the court of historyif only history would lend them the opportunity to
be heard.
The saga of the oppression suffered by the people of Palestine does
not begin with we became under rocket attack and we reacted
accordingly, unless, of course, the narrative is controlled by the
oppressor.
Now that Israel is one of the mightiest military powers on the face
of the earth; now that it has routinely been exercising that power
without sense of proportionality and restraint and thus putting world
security at a greater risk, it is high time to hold it accountable.
It is about time that the state of Israel is pressured to comply with the Geneva Convention or be dealt with as a rogue state.

Desperately Seeking Obama ( missing pair of testes}

Surely the
lesson cannot be lost on President-elect Barack Obama. That such
violence can be waged on so defenseless a population with the support
of the Bush Administration is unconscionable. That Obama chooses to
remain silent is nothing short of cowardice.
=========
Obama's silence on the Gaza crisis grows more curious by the day; it
has already cost him much political capital. He appears weak and
ineffectual even before his inauguration, one more symbol of hope
capitulating to the realpolitik of the special' U.S./Israeli
relationship.
=========

Unfortunately, Obama is missing in action in this first challenge to
his Presidency. The Israelis have used his own words to justify their
aggression, and Obama has responded with a deafening silence. This does
not bode well for the future.

The Federal Reserve has embarked on a campaign of unsupervised
industrial policy to end the country's financial crisis, a move that
could undermine its independence, a former top U.S. official said on
Saturday.
John Taylor, who was under secretary of treasury for international
affairs from 2001 to 2005, said the explosive growth of the Fed's
balance sheet since September was "unbelievable."
"This doesn't really seem like quantitative easing in the sense of
finding a growth rate in the money supply," he told a panel discussion
during the annual meeting of the American Economics Association.
"What you are looking at now is really being determined by other
considerations. How much should we buy of mortgage-backed securities?
How much should we loan to foreign central banks? This is really more
like an industrial policy," he said.

"On June 10th, 2004, the two clinics in Al-Zawiya treated 130

of cases of [tetany], spasm in legs and hands, connected to the nervous
system. Pupils were dilated. Other symptoms included shock,
semi-consciousness, hyperventilation, irritation and sweating."
Thus reads a report by medical units serving the West Bank village
of Al-Zawiya, where nonviolent resistance to Israel's impending wall
has been extraordinarily resolute. According to the medical report

More oddities in the U.S. "debate" over Israel/Gaza

Tags: ISRAEL

This Rasmussen Reports poll -- the first to survey American public
opinion specifically regarding the Israeli attack on Gaza -- strongly
bolsters the severe disconnect I documented the other day between (a)
American public opinion on U.S. policy towards Israel and (b) the
consensus views expressed by America's political leadership. Not only
does Rasmussen find that Americans generally "are closely divided over
whether the Jewish state should be taking military action against
militants in the Gaza Strip" (44-41%, with 15% undecided), but
Democratic voters overwhelmingly oppose the Israeli offensive -- by a
24-point margin (31-55%). By stark constrast, Republicans, as one would
expect (in light of their history of supporting virtually any proposed
attack on Arabs and Muslims), overwhelmingly support the Israeli
bombing campaign (62-27%).

a few, besides the ones shown below. I used to be brain-blind about
Israel,too. I use my own graphics for impact, so they include a lot of
info. I am currently using a graphic from rense. com, because it says
so much. I don't know if it is really allowable, so it may not get to
stay. I am ashamed of the lack of US Christian voices, but I know they
are as generally brain-washed by US Zionist-dominated media as are US
Jews themselves by their own media. Be glad, those who have been freed
from gov/edu/media/church/synagogue propaganda bondage. Everyone is
vulnerable to being seduced by slick, and continual mis-representation.

Israel is Not a Victim

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

Historically, Israel has never been a victim in the Middle East. As
a matter of fact, most Israeli historians would dispute the victimhood
of Israel vigorously. You can read the works of the new Israeli
historians (such as Illan Pappe), who have been given access to
Israels archives and have concluded that Israel (even before it became
Israel in 1948) was using what we would now call acts of terrorism
against Palestinians to create an exclusively Jewish state. It is
agreed upon by the new Israeli historians that the Stern Gang and the
Irgun initiated the violence before, during, and after the 1948 war for
Israels independence. The Palestinians call it their Nakba (Arabic
for catastrophe).

Funding the Israeli Military

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

Millions of Americans face home foreclosures, health care, job and

alter the flow of their tax dollars to Israels government. It takes
these greenbacks and buys F-16 jets made by Lockheed Martin to drop
bombs on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.This aggression is an effect of

White Phosphorous: Israel fires artillery shells into Gaza

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINEWMD

The AP photo above shows what appears to be a white phosphorous
shell fired into Gaza, as was used by Israel in Lebanon. White
phosphorous is indiscriminate killer that ignites once it is exposed to
oxygen, producing such heat that it bursts into a yellow flame and
produces a dense white smoke.
It causes painful burn injuries to exposed human flesh, as
discovered by Lebanon's Children at the hands of Israeli Phosphorous
Bombs in 2006.

Webmaster's Commentary:

White
Phosphorus is considered a chemical weapon by most governments around
the world. Its use in civilian areas is banned by the Geneva Treaty of
1980. The United Nations considers such weapons illegal.

Propaganda war: trusting what we see?

Tags: COVER-UP/DECEPTIONSISRAEL

Israel has tried to take the initiative in the propaganda war over
Gaza but, in one important instance, its version has been seriously
challenged.
The incident raises the question of how to interpret video taken from the air.
Israel released video of an air attack on 28 December, which
appeared to show rockets being loaded onto a truck. The truck and those
close to it were then destroyed by a missile.
It turned out, however, that a 55-year-old Gaza resident named Ahmed
Sanur, or Samur, claimed that the truck was his and that he and members
of his family and his workers were moving oxygen cylinders from his
workshop.
This workshop had been damaged when a building next door was bombed by the Israelis and he was afraid of looters, he said.
The Israeli human rights group B'Tselem put Mr Sanur's account on
its website, together with a photograph of burned out oxygen cylinders.

Israel's righteous fury and its victims in Gaza

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

My visit back home to the Galilee coincided with the genocidal
Israeli attack on Gaza. The state, through its media and with the help
of its academia, broadcasted one unanimous voice -- even louder than
the one heard during the criminal attack against Lebanon in the summer
of 2006. Israel is engulfed once more with righteous fury that
translates into destructive policies in the Gaza Strip. This appalling
self-justification for the inhumanity and impunity is not just
annoying, it is a subject worth dwelling on, if one wants to understand
the international immunity for the massacre that rages on in Gaza.

How Much More Jewish Opinion Do We Need On Cable News?...Isn't It Time For The Ralph Nader Show?

Tags: CORPORATE MEDIA

Even when tiny vulnerable Israel is not bombing one of it's
neighbors into oblivion, it's not really difficult to detect a certain
bias on the part of America's news media. You can tell this bias by
that which is not covered. Like the Rosen-Weissman-AIPAC espionage
trial over the past few years, for example, or their lack of interest
in Ben-Ami Kadish's recent guilty plea for handing over America's
nuclear secrets to the Apartheid State (Our tough as nails Zionist
Attorney General apparently promised him if he pleaded guilty he
wouldn't spend a day in jail). This bias was also apparent in its
complete lack of interest in the Mossad movers, who were watching the
hijackers prior to 9/11, but who neglected to tell us about them(the
video they took of themselves in Liberty Park waiting for the first
impact at the World Trade Center is now classified by our Government,
but do you think they care?).

ACTION ALERT: Spy for Israel

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

It is clear that these Israeli terrorist pamphlets are marketing the
blind insane destruction services of Israel to anyone who is WILLING to
advise them of a target. In other words, to Spy for Israel!
These are the desperate and bankrupt measures (referring to 'Targets
Bank' the IOF is supposed to attack) that this terrorist gang has
reached. Note that they themselves understand that they engage in
massacres, and that their actions are premeditated. They also offer no
guarantees of safeguarding the informants.
As you notice in the pamphlet, they ask Gazans to call 02-583-9749,
therefore for those outside of Palestine that's +972-2-583-9749. Also
they left an email to contact them: ***@gmail.com
So, what can be done? Simply, I encourage everyone to call above
mentioned number (from your land line, mobile phone, Skype, etc.) and
say in Hebrew "Atem Poshim, tafsiku laharog palestinayim, Palestien
Meshuchreret, Aza meshuchreret."

Webmaster's Commentary:

Drop the "kind" folks at ***@gmail.com
a note and let them know how you feel about what Israel is doing in
Gaza. Use colorful metaphors if you feel the need. Then share this
email address to your favorite blog!
For privacy reasons, we don't want the IOF to record your email, IP
address, ISP, country, etc and track you down and maybe hack your PC or
something worse. Therefore, don't use your original email account to
contact them. To overcome this, you can send them ANONYMOUS emails.
This way they can't track you or find any info about the sender (you).
There are two ways to send an anonymous email.
(1) The easy way:
All you need to do is go to the following address and register for a
new email account. I suggest you create a completely random pseudonym
(username). It will take you only 5 sec. to register and start sending
emails (you don't have to give any personal info and they will not
record any info about you, e.g. IP address etc. More: http://tinyurl.com/6wxmxk )
Go here to register and send your email:

http://tinyurl.com/6wxmxk
(2) The hard way:
Create and use your own anonymous email by using reliable remailers
and GnuPG. This method is for high-tech wizards who like to do it the
hard way:

fired surgical air strikes at alleged terrorist strongholds in the
heavy Muslim populations of Jersey City and North Bergen, New Jersey.
The jets then continued south into Elizabeth and Newark, inflicting

Israel lets Palestinians flee; UN warns of crisis

Israel allowed several hundred Palestinians with foreign passports
to flee Gaza on Friday, even as its warplanes bombed a mosque it said
was used to store weapons and destroyed homes of more than a dozen
Hamas operatives.
The evacuees told of crippling shortages of water, electricity and
medicine, echoing a U.N. warning of a deepening humanitarian crisis in
the besieged Gaza Strip in the seven-day-old Israeli campaign. The U.N.
estimates at least a quarter of the 400 Palestinians killed by Israeli
airstrikes on Hamas militants were civilians.

There's a ready explanation of why, as the Israelis pound Gaza, the

it is due entirely to this.
When Arianna nabbed $25 million from Oak Investment Partners, of
Palo Alto, California, she was acquired by a financial network that
also has significant investments in the Israeli arms industry an
industry, I might add, directly subsidized and controlled by the
Israeli government. For example, Oak Investment has invested in
IET/Intelligent Electronics, now morphed into Clickservice Software, an
Israeli-based company that makes sophisticated weapons systems and
sells them to clients such as "an unnamed Far Eastern country." Oak
Investment partner Fred Harman now sits on the Huffington Post's board.

New powers for police to hack your PC

Tags: COMPUTERS/INTERNET/SECURITYDICTATORSHIP

Police have been given the power to hack into personal computers
without a court warrant. The Home Office is facing anger and the threat
of a legal challenge after granting permission. Ministers are also
drawing up plans to allow police across the EU to collect information
from computers in Britain.
The moves will fuel claims that the Government is presiding over a
steady extension of the "surveillance society" threatening personal
privacy.

Webmaster's Commentary:

In
this age of cheap computers, real criminals and terrorists will have a
second computer, not connected to the net, which contains their private
data. Jump disks and digital media grow steadily smaller with higher
capacity, DVD-roms are flat enough to hide in book covers and the sides
of luggage.
This hacking into private PCs is not about stopping crime but
keeping people scared into not communicating their concerns with
others; to keep the people isolated and emotionally dependent on the

What Israel thinks of Catholics and Christians

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

Above is a picture of a Catholic child from Gaza, 14 year old
Christine Turok, lying in a coffin after being killed in Israel's
latest fit of Talmudic hatred - one of many innocent children, women
and men, Christian and Muslim, slaughtered by the drive to consolidate
Eretz Yisrael.
I know that in the United States, from where we attract many
readers, there are white, European Christians and Catholics who wholly
support Israel in the belief that they are God's "Chosen People" - a
theological fallacy which has crept even into the Catholic Church after
the Second Vatican Council.
Theology and the Crucifixion aside, let's reason for one second:
would "God's Chosen People" perpetrate, or collectively support the
perpetration of, such an orgy of genocide and destruction as we are
witnessing in Gaza? Would "God's Chosen People" hinder a Catholic
Archbishop from celebrating pre-Christmas Masses in Gaza, before
murdering members of his congregation from the air with impunity?

The 'first true scientist'

Tags: HIDDEN HISTORYSCIENCE/HEALTH

saac Newton is, as most will agree, the greatest physicist of all time.
At the very least, he is the undisputed father of modern optics, or
so we are told at school where our textbooks abound with his famous
experiments with lenses and prisms, his study of the nature of light
and its reflection, and the refraction and decomposition of light into
the colours of the rainbow.
Yet, the truth is rather greyer; and I feel it important to point
out that, certainly in the field of optics, Newton himself stood on the
shoulders of a giant who lived 700 years earlier.
For, without doubt, another great physicist, who is worthy of
ranking up alongside Newton, is a scientist born in AD 965 in what is
now Iraq who went by the name of al-Hassan Ibn al-Haytham.
Most people in the West will never have even heard of him.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Most
people have never heard of Srinivasi Aiyangri Ramanujan either, who
discovered much of number theory erroneously credited to much later
mathematicians.

Congress: New year, new pay hike

UNEMPLOYMENT is at its highest level in 15 years. Housing prices
won't stop falling. The stock market has suffered its most punishing
collapse since 1931, and shareholders have lost $7 trillion in wealth.
Millions of workers have lost their jobs; millions more are worried
about losing theirs. IRAs and 401k accounts have been decimated, and
companies are halting their contributions to retirement plans. Retail
sales are dragging, the credit markets have seized up, and worse is
expected in 2009. The government has gone to unprecedented lengths to
improve the economy, yet the economy keeps getting worse. The federal
budget deficit is headed for a trillion dollars, and the national debt
is well over $10 trillion and climbing. The number of Americans saying
the country is on the wrong track is at or near its all-time high;
consumer confidence is at its all-time low.

The Army Experience Center is a fitting counterpart to the retail

three full-scale simulators, including an AH-64 Apache Longbow

'08-'09 Israeli-Gaza War

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

The first attempt at trying to end the war came a few days into the
conflict, when Israeli and American sources floated the idea, with
French backing, that Israel was considering suspending its attacks for
48-hours. However, the truth behind that proposal was that Israel was
concerned that the Gaza Strip was scheduled to be under heavy cloud
cover for those 48 hours, restricting Israeli warplanes' visibility
while simultaneously providing Hamas rocket teams with cover.
Israel had hoped that Hamas would fall for the bait, keeping Israel
safe from Hamas rockets for 48 hours, after which Israel (perhaps with
help from the Fatah group) would engineer a few rockets designed to
break the truce, allowing them to re-launch its offensive in clearer
weather.
Nonetheless, Hamas refused to take the bait, and Israeli officials distanced themselves from the proposal.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Hamas
probably remembered that it was right in the middle of the previous 48
hour cease fire that Israel started the bombing campaign.

is without legitimacy and demonstrates the illegitimacy of the state.
It is on this point, specifically, that I fully concur. I believe that

May We No Longer Be Silent

By: disinter

In the West
Bank, the Americans and Israelis imposed a puppet government, but Hamas
held on in Gaza. After unheeded warnings to the Gazans to rid
themselves of Hamas and accept a puppet government, Israel has decided
to destroy the freely elected government with violence.

The Invasion of Gaza: "Operation Cast Lead", Part of a Broader Israeli Military-Intelligence Agenda

By: earlybird

Tags: PALESTINE

The aerial
bombings and the ongoing ground invasion of Gaza by Israeli ground
forces must be analysed in a historical context. Operation "Cast Lead"
is a carefully planned undertaking, which is part of a broader
military-intelligence agenda first formulated by the government of
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in 2001.

FIRE BOMBS OVER GAZA

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

Webmaster's Commentary:

The
spin is that these are just smoke bombs, but you will note that there
is relatively little smoke while the obvious end of the smoke trails is
a flaming mass. Smoke bombs have lots of smoke but little flame.
Truth is the first casualty of war.
What you are seeing here is actually an incendiary bomb. Detonated a
thousand feet in the air, the flaming fragments, usually either
thermite or white phosphorus, spread over a wide area igniting fires.
This is not a weapon aimed at an individual Hamas target but an
indiscriminate weapon intended to destroy entire neighborhoods with
fire!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS CONCERNING THE GAZA HOLOCAUST

Tags: ISRAEL

Question: Israel says it is only defending itself against recurrent
attacks by Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist organizations?
Answer: All aggressors say they are only defending themselves. Nazi
Germany said it was defending itself. Israel is the last country in the
world that is fit to complain about terrorism. After all, Israel
represents, encapsulates and embodies terror in its ugliest and most
nefarious forms.

The True Story Behind this War Is Not The One Israel Is Telling

Tags: PALESTINE

To understand how frightening it is to be a Gazan this morning, you
need to have stood in that small slab of concrete by the Mediterranean
and smelled the claustrophobia. The Gaza Strip is smaller than the Isle
of Wight but it is crammed with 1.5 million people who can never leave.
They live out their lives on top of each other, jobless and hungry, in
vast, sagging tower blocks. From the top floor, you can often see the
borders of their world: the Mediterranean, and Israeli barbed wire.
When bombs begin to fall as they are doing now with more deadly force
than at any time since 1967 there is nowhere to hide.

Lets face it, the Nazi Germans and Apartheid Israelis are a like in
many ways. One was, and the other continues to be, quite enamoured with
its genetic materials. One used and one continues to use collective
punishment in order to enforce its will. One sought and the other seeks
to dispossess certain elements of their society of their economic means
and property. Both established ghettos for their undesirables. One
attacked and the other attacks its neighbors at will. One had and the

Robert Fisk: Why bombing Ashkelon is the most tragic irony

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

How easy it is to snap off the history of the Palestinians, to
delete the narrative of their tragedy, to avoid a grotesque irony about
Gaza which in any other conflict journalists would be writing about
in their first reports: that the original, legal owners of the Israeli
land on which Hamas rockets are detonating live in Gaza.
That is why Gaza exists: because the Palestinians who lived in
Ashkelon and the fields around it Askalaan in Arabic were
dispossessed from their lands in 1948 when Israel was created and ended
up on the beaches of Gaza. They or their children and grandchildren
and great-grandchildren are among the one and a half million
Palestinian refugees crammed into the cesspool of Gaza, 80 per cent of
whose families once lived in what is now Israel. This, historically, is
the real story: most of the people of Gaza don't come from Gaza.

Israel The Sociopathic State

Tags: ISRAEL

The unconscionable attacks of Israel upon Gaza can be seen as the
action of a sociopathic state upon a helpless victim. While the
diagnosis of sociopathy is commonly reserved for the individual, it may
be used to describe an entire society in a way that illuminates the
behavior of that society towards another group of people. Sociopathy is
a social concept by definition, and for this reason can be expanded to
describe the nature of an entire society.
The ruling quality of the sociopath is a complete lack of empathy
towards the Other. The sociopath is incapable of feeling for other
people. The Israelis have kept the Gaza strip blockaded, hermetically
sealed for a year and a half, causing untold suffering for the people
of Gaza. The lack of empathy for so many helpless human beings is
sociopathic. Israel has long held its status as a sociopathic state.

Motorists' habits spur call for tax increases

fuel taxes aren't raising enough money to keep pace with the cost of

and construction is talking about increasing federal gas and diesel
taxes.

just raise taxes to make sure that the same amount of money gets sucked
out of your pocket and given to, well, at the moment, the bankers who

In other words, you are working harder to spend more and getting less back for it! This appears to be the intentional agenda.

'NYT,' Most Others in U.S. Media, Silent as Israel Invades

Tags: CORPORATE MEDIAISRAEL

Israel launched its much-anticipated invasion of Gaza on Saturday.
For over a week, U.S. media had provided largely one-sided coverage of
the conflict, with little editorializing or commentary arguing against
broader Israeli actions.
Most notably, after more than eight days of Israeli bombing and
Hamas rocket launching in Gaza, The New York Times had produced exactly
one editorial, not a single commentary by any of its columnists, and
only two op-eds (one already published elsewhere). The editorial,
several days ago, did argue against the wisdom of a ground invasion - -
but even though that invasion had become ever more likely all week the
paper did not return to this subject.
Amazingly, the paper has kept that silence going in Sunday's paper,
with no editorial or columnist comment on the Israeli invasion.

In a stunning victory, the Islamic Palestinian resistance group
Hamas claimed 76 of the 132 seats in the second Palestinian Authority

decisively defeated the ruling Fatah party, which retained 43 seats.

Hamas rose to power via a 'coup.' They did not. They won the election.

THE LAVON AFFAIR

Tags: COVER-UP/DECEPTIONSISRAEL

In 1954, Israeli agents working in Egypt planted bombs in several
buildings, including a United States diplomatic facility, and left
evidence behind implicating Arabs as the culprits. The ruse would have
worked, had not one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the
Egyptians to capture and identify one of the bombers, which in turn led
to the round up of an Israeli spy ring.
Some of the spies were from Israel, while others were recruited from
the local Jewish population. Israel responded to the scandal with
claims in the media that there was no spy ring, that it was all a hoax
perpetrated by "anti-Semites".
But as the public trial progressed, it was evident that Israel had
indeed been behind the bombing. Eventually, Israeli's Defense Minister
Pinhas Lavon was brought down by the scandal, although it appears that
he was himself the victim of a frame-up by the real authors of the
bombing project, code named "Operation Susannah."

U.S. deputy ambassador Alejandro Wolff said the United States saw no
prospect of Hamas abiding by last week's council call for an immediate
end to the violence. Therefore, he said, a new statement at this time
"would not be adhered to and would have no underpinning for success,
would not do credit to the council."

perhaps even winding down further. Of particular note, the last graph
below (click the read more link to see it) showing the Average

THE SILENT WAR IN GAZA

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

The Israeli blitzkrieg in Gaza rages on.. silently.

Reports of WMDS in the form of cluster bombs and white phospherus
bombs leaked out late yesterday. today there is silence. Silence not
due to the end of hostilities, but due to few or no reports getting out
of Gaza. The few journalists that remain have no means of getting the
truth out as communication lines were destroyed during yesterdays
attacks.
Phone lines are down, internet providers are not functioning.
Israel is literally getting away with murder today without witnesses
for the trials that will take place in the Hague one day.

Diplomats say US blocks UN statement on Gaza

Tags: ISRAEL

The United States has blocked approval of a U.N. Security Council
statement calling for an immediate cease-fire between Israel and Gaza's
Hamas rulers, diplomats said.
French U.N. Ambassador Jean-Maurice Ripert, the council president,
said the 15 council members could not agree on a statement in closed
discussions held after Israel launched a ground invasion into the Gaza
Strip on Saturday. But he said there were "strong convergences" among
the members to express concern about the deteriorating situation in
Gaza and the need for "an immediate, permanent and fully respected
cease-fire."
Libyan Ambassador Giadalla Ettalhi said the United States during the
discussions late Saturday objected to "any outcome" on the proposed
statement.

Webmaster's Commentary:

"...the United States during the discussions late Saturday objected to "any outcome" on the proposed statement."
The US Government is Israel's war-whore.

NYC mayor heads to Israel to 'show his support'

Tags: ISRAEL

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is heading to Israel along with
police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and New York Rep. Gary Ackerman.
Spokesman Andrew Brent said the mayor "is going in order to show his support for Israel."

Webmaster's Commentary:

UN: Stop Israeli 'monstrosity' in Gaza

By: poorrichard

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

UN General
Assembly chief Miguel d'Escoto has criticized the Security Council for
its inability to curb Israel's "monstrosity" in Gaza.
D'escoto criticized the UN Security Council for not showing enough
tenacity in ending Gazans suffering in the wake of the weeklong Israeli
offensive in the coastal strip.
"I think it's a monstrosity; there's no other way to name it,"
D'escoto said Saturday when asked about the Israeli incursion on Gaza.
The UN Security Council again failed to call for an immediate
ceasefire in the Gaza Strip due to US intervention. The statement would
have called on Israel to end its ground incursion into the region.
"Once again, the world is watching in dismay the dysfunctionality of the Security Council," D'escoto argued.
The two previous UN draft resolutions seeking an end to the violence
in the region have been blocked by Washington. The United States has so
far vetoed over 40 anti-Israel resolutions at the UN.

Police set to step up hacking of home PCs

Tags: COMPUTERS/INTERNET/SECURITYDICTATORSHIP

The Home Office has quietly adopted a new plan to allow police
across Britain routinely to hack into peoples personal computers
without a warrant.
The move, which follows a decision by the European Unions council
of ministers in Brussels, has angered civil liberties groups and
opposition MPs. They described it as a sinister extension of the
surveillance state which drives a coach and horses through privacy
laws.

Webmaster's Commentary:

Gee,

slightly older ones that were just thrown away after Christmas) that
real criminals and real terrorists might have one computer for their
private matters and a separate computer for communicating over the
internet?

"This war does not target just Hamas and the government, it is

Depleted uranium found in Gaza victims

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

Medics tell Press TV they have found traces of depleted uranium in
some Gazan residents wounded in Israel's ground offensive into the
strip.
Norwegian medics told Press TV correspondent Akram al-Sattari that
some of the victims who have been wounded since Israel began its
attacks on the Gaza Strip on December 27 have traces of depleted
uranium in their bodies.
The report comes after Israeli tanks and troops swept across the
border into Gaza on Saturday night, opening a ground operation after
eight days of intensive attacks by Israeli air and naval forces on the
impoverished region.
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned on Sunday that the
wide-ranging ground offensive in the Gaza Strip would be "full of

Gazprom to take Ukraine to court

By: poorrichard

Tags: RUSSIA

Russia's energy
company Gazprom has increased the volume of gas being delivered to
Europe. The company blames Ukraine for siphoning the transit gas and is
filing a lawsuit against it in the European court.
This follows the cutoff of gas supplies to Ukraine on January 1,
after the two countries gas companies failed to agree on a price for
2009.
Gazprom is now filing a lawsuit against Ukraine's Naftogaz claiming
the firm violated its obligations as a transit party. Several
countries, including Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary and the
Balkans, all say their supplies have dropped.
Our European consumers in Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Poland and
in the Balkans are reporting unlicensed siphoning off of Russian gas on
Ukrainian territory. In this situation Gazprom must provide additional
volumes of gas through other gas transporting corridors, said Gazprom
CEO Aleksy Miller.

Gaza: the Belligerence of Oppression

By: poorrichard

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

The
Israeli/Palestinian conflict is the most stubborn and indeed the most
volatile political dilemma facing the world. Today, as in its inception
over sixty years ago, the victims are denied their day in court. The
cruelly caged, oppressed people of Palestine have a story to tell in
the court of historyif only history would lend them the opportunity to
be heard.
The saga of the oppression suffered by the people of Palestine does
not begin with we became under rocket attack and we reacted
accordingly, unless, of course, the narrative is controlled by the
oppressor.
Now that Israel is one of the mightiest military powers on the face
of the earth; now that it has routinely been exercising that power
without sense of proportionality and restraint and thus putting world
security at a greater risk, it is high time to hold it accountable.
It is about time that the state of Israel is pressured to comply with the Geneva Convention or be dealt with as a rogue state.

hours after the United Nations Mandate for Iraq expired and the Status

Earlier today near th al-Jadiriya bridge in Baghdad, US troops
opened fire on a female staffer for Iraqs Biladi TV, critically
wounding her. The reason for the attack was unclear, and probably not

Desperately Seeking Obama ( missing pair of testes}

By: RubyJustice

Tags: POLITICS/ELECTIONS/CORRUPTION

Surely the
lesson cannot be lost on President-elect Barack Obama. That such
violence can be waged on so defenseless a population with the support
of the Bush Administration is unconscionable. That Obama chooses to
remain silent is nothing short of cowardice.
=========
Obama's silence on the Gaza crisis grows more curious by the day; it
has already cost him much political capital. He appears weak and
ineffectual even before his inauguration, one more symbol of hope
capitulating to the realpolitik of the special' U.S./Israeli
relationship.
=========

Unfortunately, Obama is missing in action in this first challenge to
his Presidency. The Israelis have used his own words to justify their
aggression, and Obama has responded with a deafening silence. This does
not bode well for the future.

Bush Blames War On Hamas 'Terror'

Yesterday, 01:32 pm

SkyNews Sky News
President Bush has blamed Hamas for the bloodshed in the Middle East, which has so far left more than 400 people dead.

He used his weekly address to urge Arab countries to do more to stop
militants firing rockets into Israel - which he described as an "act of
terror".
Israeli forces have continued their air strikes on the Gaza Strip
today, killing a senior Hamas commander, and militants have fired more
than five rockets into Israel.

Fed has abandoned monetary policy, critic says

Tags: ECONOMY

The Federal Reserve has embarked on a campaign of unsupervised
industrial policy to end the country's financial crisis, a move that
could undermine its independence, a former top U.S. official said on
Saturday.
John Taylor, who was under secretary of treasury for international
affairs from 2001 to 2005, said the explosive growth of the Fed's
balance sheet since September was "unbelievable."
"This doesn't really seem like quantitative easing in the sense of
finding a growth rate in the money supply," he told a panel discussion
during the annual meeting of the American Economics Association.
"What you are looking at now is really being determined by other
considerations. How much should we buy of mortgage-backed securities?
How much should we loan to foreign central banks? This is really more
like an industrial policy," he said.

Flashback - Israel's Chemical Weapons

Tags: ISRAELWMD

"On June 10th, 2004, the two clinics in Al-Zawiya treated 130
patients for gas inhalation. The patients were children, women, old
people and young men. Dr. Abu Madi related that there was a high number
of cases of [tetany], spasm in legs and hands, connected to the nervous
system. Pupils were dilated. Other symptoms included shock,
semi-consciousness, hyperventilation, irritation and sweating."
Thus reads a report by medical units serving the West Bank village
of Al-Zawiya, where nonviolent resistance to Israel's impending wall
has been extraordinarily resolute. According to the medical report
(procured by the International Middle East Media Center [IMEMC]), "the
gas used against the protestors is not tear gas but possibly a nerve

More oddities in the U.S. "debate" over Israel/Gaza

Tags: ISRAEL

This Rasmussen Reports poll -- the first to survey American public
opinion specifically regarding the Israeli attack on Gaza -- strongly
bolsters the severe disconnect I documented the other day between (a)
American public opinion on U.S. policy towards Israel and (b) the
consensus views expressed by America's political leadership. Not only
does Rasmussen find that Americans generally "are closely divided over
whether the Jewish state should be taking military action against
militants in the Gaza Strip" (44-41%, with 15% undecided), but
Democratic voters overwhelmingly oppose the Israeli offensive -- by a
24-point margin (31-55%). By stark constrast, Republicans, as one would
expect (in light of their history of supporting virtually any proposed
attack on Arabs and Muslims), overwhelmingly support the Israeli
bombing campaign (62-27%).

Israel is Not a Victim

Tags: ISRAELPALESTINE

Historically, Israel has never been a victim in the Middle East. As
a matter of fact, most Israeli historians would dispute the victimhood
of Israel vigorously. You can read the works of the new Israeli
historians (such as Illan Pappe), who have been given access to
Israels archives and have concluded that Israel (even before it became
Israel in 1948) was using what we would now call acts of terrorism
against Palestinians to create an exclusively Jewish state. It is
agreed upon by the new Israeli historians that the Stern Gang and the
Irgun initiated the violence before, during, and after the 1948 war for
Israels independence. The Palestinians call it their Nakba (Arabic
for catastrophe).
