Hi Peter Re: your comments on the so-called
'Intelligence Community':-
PM: I would say that it, too, has its factions.
PS: Not since 9/11.
Since 9/11 there have been only individual
whistleblowers who by their
own whistleblowing exclude themselves from
further involvement and who
are apparently unaware of the singular global
control of the circus of
terror. (Not to mention being 9/11 Liars - e.g.
people's hero Edward
Snowden.) PM: Mossad is a law unto itself. PS: That
would place Mossad
at the top. If Victor Ostrovsky is to be believed Mossad
is essentially
stupid. Its apparent success must be due to guidance from
above,
wherever 'above' might be. Kindest Regards Peter
Comment
(Peter M.):
Ostrovsky says Mossad does false flag attacks to entice the
West to
attack its enemies: http://mailstar.net/ostrovsky.html
Victor
Ostrovsky, The Other Side of Deception HarperCollinsPublishers
New York
1994.
{p. 197} The Mossad realized that it had to come up with a new
threat to
the region, a threat of such magnitude that it would justify
whatever
action the Mossad might see fit to take.
The right-wing
elements in the Mossad (and in the whole country, for
that matter) had what
they regarded as a sound philosophy: They believed
(correctly, as it
happened) that Israel was the strongest military
presence in the Middle
East. In fact, they believed that the military
might of what had become
known as "fortress Israel" was greater than
that of all of the Arab armies
combined, and was responsible for
whatever security Israel possessed. The
right wing believed then - and
they still believe - that this strength
arises from the need to answer
the constant threat of war.
The
corollary belief was that peace overtures would inevitably start a
process
of corrosion that would weaken the military and eventually bring
about the
demise of the state of Israel, since, the philosophy goes, its
Arab
neighbors are untrustworthy, and no treaty signed by them is worth
the paper
it's written on.
Supporting the radical elements of Muslim fundamentalism
sat well with
the Mossad's general plan for the region. An Arab world run by
fundamentalists would not be a party to any negotiations with the West,
thus leaving Israel again as the only democratic, rational country in
the region. And if the Mossad could arrange for the Hamas (Palestinian
fundamentalists) to take over the Palestinian streets from the PLO, then
the picture would be complete.

Quite so but 9/11 was more than just Mossad, more than
just Ariel
Sharon, Benjamin Netanyahu and Larry Silverstein. 9/11
revealed/inaugurated the integration of the global 'Intelligence

Who’s
Really Pulling the Strings?
The Times of Israel reported
Wednesday:
{quote}
A Free Syrian Army commander, arrested last month
by the Islamist
militia Al-Nusra Front, told his captors he collaborated
with Israel in
return for medical and military support, in a video released
this
week.Read more: Syrian rebel commander says he collaborated with
Israel.
In a video uploaded to YouTube Monday … Sharif As-Safouri, the
commander
of the Free Syrian Army’s Al-Haramein Battalion, admitted to
having
entered Israel five times to meet with Israeli officers who later
provided him with Soviet anti-tank weapons and light arms. Safouri was
abducted by the al-Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front in the Quneitra area,
near the Israeli border, on July 22.
“The [opposition] factions would
receive support and send the injured in
[to Israel] on condition that the
Israeli fence area is secured. No
person was allowed to come near the fence
without prior coordination
with Israel authorities,” Safouri said in the
video. ***
In the edited confession video, in which Safouri seems
physically
unharmed, he says that at first he met with an Israeli officer
named
Ashraf at the border and was given an Israeli cellular phone. He later
met with another officer named Younis and with the two men’s commander,
Abu Daoud. In total, Safouri said he entered Israel five times for
meetings that took place in Tiberias.
Following the meetings, Israel
began providing Safouri and his men with
“basic medical support and clothes”
as well as weapons, which included
30 Russian [rifles], 10 RPG launchers
with 47 rockets, and 48,000 5.56
millimeter
bullets.
{endquote}
Also on Wednesday, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency –
a 97-year old Jewish
wire service – reported:
{quote}
A senior
employee of the Dutch Justice Ministry said the jihadist group
ISIS was
created by Zionists seeking to give Islam a bad reputation.
Yasmina
Haifi, a project leader at the ministry’s National Cyber
Security Center,
made the assertion Wednesday on Twitter, the De
Telegraaf daily
reported.
“ISIS has nothing to do with Islam. It’s part of a plan by
Zionists who
are deliberately trying to blacken Islam’s name,” wrote Haifi
….
{endquote}
In March, Haaretz reported:
{quote} The Syrian
opposition is willing to give up claims to the Golan
Heights in return for
cash and Israeli military aid against President
Bashar Assad, a top
opposition official told Al Arab newspaper,
according to a report in Al
Alam.
***
The Western-backed militant groups want Israel to enforce a
no-fly zone
over parts of southern Syria to protect rebel bases from air
strikes by
Assad’s forces, according to the
report.
{endquote}
World Net Daily reports that the U.S. trained
Islamic jihadis – who
would later join ISIS - in Jordan.
The
Jerusalem Post reports that an ISIS fighter says that Turkey funds
the
terrorist group. Turkey is a member of NATO and – at least until
very
recently – a close U.S. ally.
A former high-level Al Qaeda commander has
repeatedly alleged that ISIS
works for the CIA.
In June, investment
adviser Jim Willie alleged:
{quote}
The [Isis] troops that are working
there [in Syria and Iraq] are Langley
[i.e. CIA] troops. They’re trained,
funded, and armed by Langley.
What I’m hearing… the U.S. military –
Pentagon regulars - and you have
to be careful when you refer to U.S.
military anymore. What kind of U.S.
military? Is it the Pentagon U.S. Army,
or is it the Langley military,
which has unmarked uniforms and 10¢s of
thousands of mercenaries?
They’re about to encounter each other in Iraq.
The U.S. military
Pentagon regulars evacuated Iraq, and what filled the
vacuum was the
Langley mercenaries, trained for Syria, that migrated South
and
announced their new agenda.
If and when the Pentagon regulars
encounter the Langley mercenaries in
Iraq, Obama’s going to get a house
call, because U.S. military will be
fighting U.S. military. Pentagon vs.
Langley.
{endquote}
While we don’t know which – if any – of the
above-described allegations
are true, two things are certain:
The
U.S. armed Islamic jihadis in Syria, and their weapons ended up in
the hands
of ISIS; and
Wealthy donors in close U.S. allies Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and
Qatar back
ISIS … and Western intelligence officials say that those
governments
must be approving the support.
Why would the U.S. and its
allies back ISIS, when they are barbarian
Islamic terrorists? Well –
assuming it’s true – oil and gas could be the
explanation.
After all,
there is evidence that the U.S. and her allies have wanted to
break up the
nations of Iraq and Syria for decades. And ISIS has done so.
In any event
– whether or not it’s true of ISIS – it’s well-documented
that the U.S.,
Saudis and Israelis have been backing the world’s most
dangerous and radical
Muslim terrorists for decades. And see this.
And anyone who looks at the
battle against ISIS as a religious war is
being played.

{p. 120} Second, the slush fund helped finance the
intelligence
community's "black" operations around the world. These
included funding
Israeli-controlled "Palestinian terrorists" who would
commit crimes in
the name of the Palestinian revolution but were actually
pulling them
off, usually unwittingly, as part of the Israeli propaganda
machine.
{p. 122} An example is the case of the "Palestinian" attack on
the
cruise ship Achille Lauro in 1985. That was, in fact, an Israeli
"black" propaganda operation to show what a deadly, cutthroat bunch the
Palestinians were.
The operation worked like this: Eitan passed
instructions to Radi that
it was time for the Palestinians to make an
attack and do something
cruel, though no specifics were laid out. Radi
passed orders on to Abu'l
Abbas, who, to follow such orders, was receiving
millions from Israeli
intelligence officers posing as Sicilian dons. Abbas
then gathered a
team to attack the cruise ship. The team was told to make it
bad, to
show the world what lay in store for other unsuspecting citizens if
Palestinian demands were not met. As the world knows, the group picked
on an elderly American Jewish man in a wheelchair, killed him, and
threw his body overboard. They made their point. But for Israel it was
the best kind of anti-Palestinian propaganda.

The Double Identity of an "Anti-Semitic"
Commenter
Smearing a Progressive Website to Support Israel
by
Lance Tapley
Like many other news websites, Common Dreams has been
plagued by
inflammatory anti-Semitic comments following its stories. But on
Common
Dreams these posts have been so frequent and intense they have driven
away donors from a nonprofit dependent on reader generosity.
A Common
Dreams investigation has discovered that more than a thousand
of these
damaging comments over the past two years were written with a
deceptive
purpose by a Jewish Harvard graduate in his thirties who was
irritated by
the website's discussion of issues involving Israel.
His intricate
campaign, which he has admitted to Common Dreams, included
posting comments
by a screen name, "JewishProgressive," whose purpose
was to draw attention
to and denounce the anti-Semitic comments that he
had written under many
other screen names.
The deception was many-layered. At one point he had
one of his
characters charge that the anti-Semitic comments and the
criticism of
the anti-Semitic comments must be written by "internet trolls
who have
been known to impersonate anti-Semites in order to then double-back
and
accuse others of supporting anti-Semitism"--exactly what he was doing.
(Trolls are posters who foment discord.)
The impersonation, this
character wrote, must be part of an "elaborate
Hasbara setup," referring to
an Israeli international public-relations
campaign. When Common Dreams
finally confronted the man behind the
deceptive posting, he denied that he
himself was involved with Hasbara.
His posting on Common Dreams
illustrates the susceptibility of website
comment threads to massive
manipulation. As another illustration, he
even audaciously tricked the
white-supremacist Vanguard News Network,
posing as "DeShawn S. Williams," a
"Pro-White/Black, anti-jew."
DeShawn S. Williams Profile 1One of "DeShawn
S. Williams" profile
pictures on the Vanguard News Network.On Vanguard,
where this
African-American persona posted more than 1,400 times, he
encouraged the
malevolence of Frazier Glenn Miller, the neo-Nazi accused of
killing
three people whom he believed were Jews outside a Jewish community
center and retirement home in Kansas in April. The character Williams
was engaged in a comment thread more than 200 times with Miller, whose
screen name was Rounder.
In a Vanguard post under the Williams screen
name the commenter asked
rhetorically, "Are left wing folks finally waking
up to the jew?" He
then referred the Vanguard online community to a thread
of anti-Semitic
comments on Common Dreams--most of which he had written
himself under
several screen names.
A typical DeShawn Williams
comment might include: "Israel is a stain on
the world that needs to be
expunged once and for all." Or: "The jews are
the most racist people on
earth. Just look at their Talmud. They
consider the 'goyim' (non-jews) to be
cattle whose only purpose on earth
is to serve them."
But on Common
Dreams, DeShawn S. Williams was only one among dozens of
screen-name
characters this poster created. They seemed to be in
competition to revile
Jews. Here's how "HamBaconEggs," the site's most
prolific anti-Semitic
persona, began a conversation last October:
A few posts later the
HamBaconEggs character was taken to task for his
hatred of Jews by the
JewishProgressive character, who responded to
another (sincere) poster who
had pointed out the anti-Semitism :
JewishProgressive frequently
followed HamBaconEggs with an expression of
disgust. Here's an exchange
begun at 11:57 a.m. on January 14:
HamBaconEggs: ". . . There are reasons
beyond mere 'anti-Semitism' why
these people were kicked out of 109
countries. You don't elicit that
degree of anger and hostility from host
populations without
significantly contributing to the problem through your
antisocial,
predatory behavior."
JewishProgressive replied 12 minutes
later: "You are singlehandedly the
most vicious Jew-hater I have ever
encountered among those professing to
be 'progressives.' Do you actually
post about anything on CD other than
'the jews,' or is that your sole
agenda? No true progressive could be so
unrelentingly malicious against an
entire group of people the way you are."
At 2:49 p.m., HamBaconEggs
responded:
"Oy vey! Cry me a river, you Talmudic parasite. Direct your
criticism at
your sociopathic tribe of money-grubbers, warmongers, and land
thieves."
Here's one more example of this
back-and-forth:
When Common Dreams examined hundreds of posts in
this ugly charade, the
aim appeared clear-cut: to cast a deep shadow on, and
drive support
from, one of the largest and oldest progressive-news
websites.
The man who was the source of the charade, however, claimed he
didn't
want to hurt Common Dreams.
Detection
It was during
their daily efforts to block objectionable commenters from
using the site
that the Common Dreams staff got an inkling that
significant manipulation
was going on.
The website's executive director, Craig Brown, was
personally appalled
at the anti-Semitic comments--and had a financial
motivation to block
these commenters. One generous funder had told him, he
said, referring
to the stream of anti-Semitism, "I gave you five thousand
dollars last
year, but I'm not doing it again."
"We've had hundreds
of donors say similar things," Brown added. "People
are right to be offended
by the anti-Semitism, and it has a serious
impact on our reputation and our
fundraising." But when Common Dreams
tried to block DeShawn, HamBaconEggs,
et al, they kept coming back.
DISQUS, the comment-hosting system used by
Common Dreams and many other
websites, makes commenter Internet Protocol
addresses visible to a
website's moderators. The Internet Protocol address
is a unique number
the internet assigns to every computer or, in some cases,
a set of
computers in an office. An IP address looks like "99.88.77.666."
(If you
want to see your IP address, Google: "What is my IP
address?")
One day when Brown was looking at the IP address of an
offensive
commenter he noticed that commenters using other screen name had
the
same IP address. "We eventually found," he said, "that many, many
different comments were coming from a very few IP addresses."
Next,
Brown plugged the IP numbers into one of the specialized search
websites--cqcounter.com/whois/--that give a non-numerical "name" of a
computer and the name and location of the company, government agency,
university, or other institution providing internet service to that
computer. Many of the IP addresses turned out to be camouflaged by being
sent through internet "proxy," IP-address-hiding services, such as
ZenMate.com. Those IPs led only to the proxy websites.
But sometimes
the IPs didn't lead to proxies. Sometimes--presumably when
the poster just
didn't take the time to go through a proxy--they led to
an internet-service
provider in a Midwestern city or to a university
campus in that same city.
That's how Common Dreams determined that one
major, constant stream of
anti-Semitic posts--as well as posts
condemning the anti-Semitism--came from
a few, close-in-proximity computers.
Then a big mistake was discovered.
Comments under the screen name
HamBaconEggs and a few others had
occasionally been posted from an IP
address with a name that included a
personal email address and a
university domain name. Email addresses are
often part of the user names
given to students and faculty by a university
to enable them to access
the institution's computer network.
A few
minutes on Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn led Common Dreams to the
owner of
the email address, a graduate student at the Midwestern campus.
The student
also had made the same mistake by using a university
computer that had the
name of his tiny academic unit.
Let's call the student Jason Beck. Common
Dreams is not revealing his
identity because, as a Jew who for years tricked
Vanguard News Network,
a major neo-Nazi website that has harbored people
committed to violence,
he could be put in danger by such a
revelation.
Confession
Beck nervously denied everything and hung
up when he answered a phone
call from this reporter, who then informed him
by email that "soon"
university officials would be told about what he was
doing, including
his use of a university computer for his posts. The email
listed a few
of his online aliases.
Minutes later, Beck replied by
email with an apology to Common Dreams,
which he continued in subsequent
emails and phone interviews.
Beck said he got involved in an "ill-advised
intellectual exercise,"
using "extremely poor judgment," that became a
"psychological
obsession," a kind of "tic." It was a particular "error in
judgment" to
use the university's computers. His aim, he claimed in one
email, was
"to gauge how pervasive anti-Semitism really was on websites like
CD." [...]
Going Rogue?
This Hasbara that Beck's characters
brought up and that he denied
being involved with--what is it? Numerous
other commenters on Common
Dreams and other news websites refer to
Hasbara.
The word means "explanation" in Hebrew, and it's somewhat
synonymous
with "p.r." It's used to mean the Israeli government's specific
public-relations efforts to influence opinion across the globe through
news and social media, but the word also has come to encompass a slew of
private efforts to help generate good publicity for Israel and to defend
it from, and attack, critics. [...]
"Today many supporters of Israel
worldwide are becoming digital
ambassadors," Neil Lazarus, a prominent
Israeli public-relations
consultant to the government, wrote in theTimes of
Israel in 2012. "The
internet is transforming the battle lines of Israel's
public relations
war. ... As Hasbara becomes a grass-roots movement, the
very essence of
the relationship between Israel and Diaspora Jewry is being
transformed." [...]

When Walt and Mearsheimer published their book on the Israel lobby
in
2007, I thought, they’ve scratched the surface, we don’t know the half
of it. Well here you go, friends.
The Wall Street Journal reports
today that even as Barack Obama and
Secretary of State John Kerry were
trying to brake Israel during the
slaughter in Gaza, Israel relied on its
“allies” in “Congress and
elsewhere in the administration” to dip into
American weapons stocks to
refill its guns, without Obama’s approval.
<http://online.wsj.com/articles/u-s-sway-over-israel-on-gaza-at-a-low-1407979365>
And those tank shells were used on a UN school on July 30, killing
20
Palestinian civilians. The US is a partner to this war crime, a
Palestinian says in the WSJ article.
It’s a shocking report about
Israel’s autonomy inside the US government,
in defiance even of the
president.
Adam Entous at the Wall Street Journal reports that the Obama
administration has responded with quiet anger to the encroachment.
<http://online.wsj.com/articles/u-s-sway-over-israel-on-gaza-at-a-low-1407979365>
His first three paragraphs:
{quote}
White House and State
Department officials who were leading U.S. efforts
to rein in Israel’s
military campaign in the Gaza Strip were caught off
guard last month when
they learned that the Israeli military had been
quietly securing supplies of
ammunition from the Pentagon without their
approval.
Since then the
Obama administration has tightened its control on arms
transfers to Israel.
But Israeli and U.S. officials say that the adroit
bureaucratic maneuvering
made it plain how little influence the White
House and State Department have
with the government of Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu —and that
both sides know it…
In addition, current and former American officials
say, U.S.-Israel ties
have been hurt by leaks that they believe were meant
to undercut the
administration’s standing by mischaracterizing its position
and delay a
cease-fire. The battles have driven U.S.-Israeli relations to
the lowest
point since President Barack Obama took
office…
{endquote}
Will the Obama administration ever go public with
this estimation of
what Israel is, “reckless and untrustworthy”? We can just
hope.
{quote}
Today, many administration officials say the Gaza
conflict—the third
between Israel and Hamas in under six years—has persuaded
them that Mr.
Netanyahu and his national security team are both reckless and
untrustworthy.
Israeli officials, in turn, describe the Obama
administration as weak
and naive, and are doing as much as they can to
bypass the White House
in favor of allies in Congress and elsewhere in the
administration.
{endquote}
Allies elsewhere in the administration?
What’s that mean? The lobby’s
moles? The piece explicitly references the
power of the Israel lobby:
{quote}
American officials say they believe
they have been able to exert at
least some influence over Mr. Netanyahu
during the Gaza conflict. But
they admit their influence has been weakened
as he has used his sway in
Washington, from the Pentagon and Congress to
lobby groups, to defuse
U.S. diplomatic pressure on his government over the
past month.
{endquote}
So the tail really can wag the dog. Now let’s
argue about how much.
Here’s the nuts and bolts of that weapons transfer.
Even as Israel was
negotiating with the White House and Congress over the
means of getting
replacement parts/supplies for its Iron Dome
rocket-defense–
{quote}
Unknown to many policy makers, Israel was
moving on separate tracks to
replenish supplies of lethal munitions being
used in Gaza and to
expedite approval of the Iron Dome funds on Capitol
Hill.
On July 20, Israel’s defense ministry asked the U.S. military for a
range of munitions, including 120-mm mortar shells and 40-mm
illuminating rounds, which were already kept stored at a pre-positioned
weapons stockpile in Israel.
The request was approved through military
channels three days later but
not made public. Under the terms of the deal,
the Israelis used U.S.
financing to pay for $3 million in tank rounds. No
presidential approval
or signoff by the secretary of state was required or
sought, according
to officials.
The watershed moment came in the
early morning in Gaza July 30. An
Israeli shell struck a United Nations
school in Jabaliya that sheltered
about 3,000 people. Later that day, it was
reported in the U.S. that the
120-mm and 40-mm rounds had been released to
the Israeli military.
“We were blindsided,” one U.S. diplomat
said.
{endquote}
The Wall Street Journal says what we all know, but
that the liberal
Israel lobby groups Peace Now and J Street are unable to
say, the
Israeli attacks on civilian settings were
indiscriminate.
{quote}
White House and State Department officials had
already become
increasingly disturbed by what they saw as heavy-handed
battlefield
tactics that they believed risked a humanitarian catastrophe
capable of
harming regional stability and Israel’s interests.
They were
especially concerned that Israel was using artillery, instead
of more
precision-guided munitions, in densely populated areas. The
realization that
munitions transfers had been made without their
knowledge came as a
shock…
{endquote}
Here’s the Palestinian angle:
{quote}
The
Palestinians, in particular, were angry, according to U.S. diplomats.
“The
U.S. is a partner in this crime,” Jibril Rajoub, a leader in
Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas’s Western-backed Fatah party, said
of the decision
to provide arms to Israel during the conflict.
{endquote}
And it’s a
crisis for the Israel lobby. Or you’d think it would be:
{quote}
The
last straw for many U.S. diplomats came on Aug. 2 when they say
Israeli
officials leaked to the media that Mr. Netanyahu had told the
U.S.
ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro, that the Obama administration
was “not to
ever second-guess me again” about how to deal with Hamas.
The White House and
State Department have sought to regain greater
control over U.S.-Israeli
policy. They decided to require White House
and State Department approval
for even routine munitions requests by
Israel, officials
say.

So is the special relationship at an end? What will
the Obama
administration do to make that happen, and to educate the American
public about the influence of a passionate faction over US
policymaking?

For
his part, as the man who holds the reins of responsibility,
President Obama
has called a halt to U.S. Hellfire missile shipments to
Israel until
arrangements are made to clear with the White House all
future transfers of
Hellfire missiles.
The President is clearly disturbed over his discovery
of the
free-flowing weapons pipeline from the U.S. to Israel via the
Pentagon.
by James M Wall
August 15, 2014 at 4:22 pm
Cease
fire talks between Israel and Hamas have been extended for an
additional
five days.
The extension in the talks was made possible because Hamas is
standing
firm in its humanitarian demand that Israel lift the siege on Gaza,
while Israel is feeling the negative worldwide vibes over its massive
military assault.
The vibes are negative everywhere, that is, except
in the U.S., where in
an Atlantic interview, former U.S. Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton
appeared to kick off her 2016 presidential campaign with a
ringing
endorsement of Israel's massive assault on the Palestinians of
Gaza.
For his part, as the man who holds the reins of responsibility,
President Obama has called a halt to U.S. Hellfire missile shipments to
Israel until arrangements are made to clear with the White House all
future transfers of Hellfire missiles.
The President is clearly
disturbed over his discovery of the
free-flowing weapons pipeline from the
U.S. to Israel via the Pentagon.
The story of his decision to halt sales,
originated in the Wall Street
Journal and was beamed into Israel and
internationally on the internet
by Haaretz. <http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/1.610493>
>
The White House has instructed the Pentagon and the U.S. military to
put on
hold a transfer of Hellfire missiles that Israel had requested
during its
recent operation in the Gaza Strip, the Wall Street Journal
reports. >
> According to the report, during Israel's Operation
Protective Edge,
White House officials were dismayed to discover how
little influence they
wield over the topic of Israeli arms shipments,
against the backdrop of the
U.S. government's unhappiness with the
widespread damage inflicted upon
Palestinian civilians. > > During the
Gaza war, the report said, White
House officials came to realize that
large amounts of weaponry are being
passed to Israel via direct channels
to the Pentagon, with little oversight
by the political arena. . . . >
> Against the backdrop of American
displeasure over IDF tactics used in
the Gaza fighting and the high number
of civilian casualties caused by
Israel's massive use of artillery fire
rather than more precise weapons,
officials in the White House and the State
Department are now demanding
to review every Israeli request for American
arms individually, rather
than let them move relatively unchecked through a
direct
military-to-military channel, a fact that slows down the
process.
The extended cease fire negotiations, and the President's
decision to
halt missile shipments, are the good news during cease fire
negotiations.
Is there more bad news on the political front? It depends
on reactions
to the big political story in the U.S., which is either good or
bad,
depending on one's political preferences.
Goldberg now hangs his
media hat at the Atlantic, his latest media stop
following the completion of
his IDF tour of duty during the first
Palestinian uprising in 1990. Earlier
Goldberg assignments included a
stint at The New Yorker.
After his
tour with the IDF, Goldberg wrote a book about his role as an
Israeli guard,
Prisoners: A Story of Friendship and Terror. The book
received supportive
reviews in the U.S.
Clinton could have given her interview to any media
outlet in the
country. It is no accident that she chose a well-known Jewish
journalist
who has never hidden his pro-Israel proclivities.
Which is
why, depending entirely upon one's views of Clinton, and her
impending race
to become Obama's successor, the interview in the
Atlantic ( http://theatln.tc/1yj4Y9i ) will either
delight or dismay
readers.
The New Yorker ( http://nyr.kr/1payMUG ) 's John Cassidy, in an
essay
entitled, Can Hillary Play This Game?, examined media responses to
Clinton's interview. His conclusion: If her intent was to bolster her
conservative credentials, she succeeded.
As for "progressives and
centrists, she might need to think again". [...]
What could she, and her
handlers, have been thinking? Clinton already
has the pro-Israel votes,
media and money, strongly embedded in the
Clinton orbit. As for winning
progressive and centrist support, she
herself has acknowledged that her
Senate 2003 pro-war Iraq vote was wrong.
Is her Atlantic interview her
second pro-war stumble that could derail
her 2016 road to the White House
the way her 2003 Iraq pro-war vote
helped Obama defeat her in the 2008
primaries?
Clinton has been in and around the White House long enough to
have known
that when the president is deeply involved in foreign policy
decisions,
from Ukraine to Syria to Gaza, it is not a good time for his
former
Secretary of State to launch her 2016 presidential campaign by
attacking
his foreign policy.
She did not just critique his policy,
she told a pro-Israeli interviewer
that Obama lacks a coherent foreign
policy strategy. After waiting for
the media feedback and the word to
spread, Clinton told Politico's
Maggie Haberman ( http://politi.co/1r7kabA ) she did not mean
to
"attack" the President:
> Hillary Clinton called President
Barack Obama on Tuesday to "make
sure he knows that nothing she said was an
attempt to attack him" when
she recently discussed her views on foreign
policy in an interview with
The Atlantic, according to a statement from a
Clinton spokesman.
That sounds like a not so artful dodge especially when
describing an
interview in which she:
> dismissed the Obama
administration's self-described foreign policy
principle of "Don't do stupid
stuff." And while she also praised Obama
several times, Clinton nonetheless
called his decision not to assist
Syrian rebels early on a
"failure."
> > Earlier Tuesday, longtime top Obama aide David
Axelrod took a swipe
at Clinton on Twitter, writing: "Just to clarify:
'Don't do stupid
stuff' means stuff like occupying Iraq in the first place,
which was a
tragically bad decision."
But wait, there is more from
Politico.
> In defending Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's
deadly
response to Hamas's rocket attacks, she sounded almost like a
spokesperson for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
>
> In talking about the threat of militant Islam more generally, her
words
echoed those of Tony Blair, the former British Prime Minister, who
has
called for a generation-long campaign against Islamic extremism (
http://nyr.kr/1pPVj8o ) --a proposal that one
of his former cabinet
ministers dubbed "back to the Crusades". ( http://dailym.ai/1nfeHsR )
Glenn
Greenwald, writing in his new media outlet, Intercept (
http://bit.ly/VdFwpd ) , lifted quotes from
Hillary Clinton in her
Atlantic interview with Jeffrey Goldberg that mirror
almost precisely
the line Prime Minister Netanyahu has followed since this
current
conflict began. These are all Clinton quotes:
> 1)
"Israel has a right to defend itself. The steps Hamas has taken to
embed
rockets and command-and-control facilities and tunnel entrances in
civilian
areas, this makes a response by Israel difficult." > > 2)
"Israel did
what it had to do to respond to the rockets."
> > 3) On civilian
casualties in Gaza: "That doesn't mean, just as the
United States [tries to]
be as careful as possible in going after
targets to avoid civilians, that
there aren't mistakes that are made.
We've made them. I don't know a nation,
no matter what its values are --
and I think that democratic nations have
demonstrably better values in a
conflict position -- that hasn't made
errors, but ultimately the
responsibility rests with Hamas."
>
> 4) Asked about the bombing of UN schools and killing of Palestinian
children: "It's impossible to know what happens in the fog of war. Some
reports say, maybe it wasn't the exact UN school that was bombed, but it
was the annex to the school next door where they were firing the
rockets. And I do think oftentimes that the anguish you are privy to
because of the coverage, and the women and the children and all the rest
of that, makes it very difficult to sort through to get to the
truth."
> > 5) On civilian casualties in Gaza: "There's no doubt
in my mind
that Hamas initiated this conflict. ... So the ultimate
responsibility
has to rest on Hamas and the decisions it made."
And
there you have the essential Hillary Clinton commenting on Israel's
assault
against Gaza. [...]
Will her endorsement of Israel's war strategy
embellish her political
credentials for 2016, or will that endorsement
become her second major
pro-war political stumble?
(8) Congress
appropriation for Israel's Iron Dome demonstrates AIPAC's
in
charge
MJ Rosenberg<mjrosenberg1881@outlook.com> 7

To: Peter <myerspeterg@gmail.com>
AIPAC's
Phony Iron Dome Vote
The last item Congress voted on before going on
vacation for five weeks
was a $225 million appropriation to "replenish"
Israel's Iron Dome system.
That makes sense. The system is protecting
Israelis from rocket assault
Of course we want to replenish Israel's
arsenal?
The answer is simple. No replenishment was necessary now. Nor
will the
vote speed up the resupply which was in the pipeline
anyway.
According to my sources on Capitol Hill, several of whom spoke to
the
Pentagon, the sole reason for the vote was to enable AIPAC and its House
and Senate cutouts to demonstrate their support for the war.
One
Democratic House aide put it like this: "It's crazy. We represent a
minority
district that is hurting in every way you can imagine. But it's
Israel we
appropriate extra money for on the last day before recess!
I'll tell you. As
a Jew working for a minority member, it is just so
f---ing embarrassing.
Only 8 House members voted no but a lot more than
that were thoroughly
pissed. When does the grovelling stop? "
A Republican Senate aide said,
"The worst part was having to vote for
this at a time we are all so upset by
the killing in Gaza. It's as if
AIPAC knows how angry we are so the whole
Senate has to take their test.
They will make us cast a totally symbolic
vote, just to show who's in
charge. It's so telling that the only issue we
come together with
Democrats is on an AIPAC vote. We don't even come
together on our wars,
when our soldiers are in the field. The senator (her
boss) was sick
about it."
The bottom line is that the lobby and
senior senators (Harry Reid, Dick
Durbin, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell and
Barbara Boxer) and House
members (Steny Hoyer, Nita Lowey, Steve Israel) put
on a show to
demonstrate to President Obama that, dead kids or no dead kids,
they
stood with Netanyahu.
They wanted to send a message. It was that
no matter how unnecessary the
vote was, and no matter how much their
constituents might be in pain
over Gaza, they will always stand with the
Israeli government. Although
they (Democrats in particular) will compromise
on other issues that
directly affect the United States--minimum wage,
climate change, health
policy, immigration--there is one thing they will
never compromise on:
AIPAC's agenda.
What a shameful bunch. Playing
games as children and young Israeli
soldiers die in a terrible war. All to
prove loyalty to AIPAC.

Peter,
FINDING
THE WAR MONGER IN THE MIDDLE EAST
After reading many of the blog entries,
I gained some understanding of
your reader’s rationale – concerning the
contemporary Middle Eastern
affairs. I agree in part with much of what was
presented: United
States, Turkish and Saudi involvement and as well, ties to
restructure a
Caliphate.
However, what I find missing in all the
blogs is a far reaching
historical understanding of the Middle East. They
all start with the
1990’s and then through characteristic bias, place the
blame on the 6
million or so Israelis, who are surrounded by a sea of 100
million
Muslims. The second round of bias comes in the form of
anti-Americanism, simply because our presence is in the Middle East, and
we still hold title as a super-state.
May I be so bold as to offer a
few corollaries.
Why is the USA in the Middle East? It does not need the
oil, and if we
are so concerned about Islamic terrorists why does the US
administration
have many Muslims in the Cabinet structures?
Who has
been Turkey’s friend since the early 1800’s? Has it not been
Germany?
Have not the Palestinians and Arabs been anti-Jewish since
the mid
1800’s, when Jews started to return?
Who started the Crimean
War? Was it not England?
Who coined the idea of a Liberal World Order
lead by the English system
of culture and finance? Was it not Cecil Rhodes,
and the regent of the
Crown, Lord Robert Cecil, together with Sir Alfred
Milner and their
Secret Society – later called the Kindergarten, then the
Royal Institute
of International Affairs [RIIA], and finally, Chatham House
in London?
Did they not form the Rhodes Scholars who, as do the Fabian
Socialists,
infiltrate a country’s leadership and steer pro-British
agendas?
Who started the world cabal of financial elites called the 300,
and
encouraged fiat currencies in 1929? Was it not The British Crown, its
nobles and its mega rich, together with a few American Industrialists?
Was it not Britain?
Who stole South African wealth, by warring with
the Republic of
Transvaal, and engineered the first concentration camps for
women and
children? Was it not Britain?
Who threatened the German
Kiser in the 1880’s with war if he dared to
build a rail line past Basra,
Iraq? Was it not Britain?
Where did Karl Marx write his Manifesto? Was
it not in London? Is he
not buried in London?
Who gave 6 million
pounds of Czechoslovakia reserve gold to Hitler in
early 1939 as a bribe to
accept an Anglo-German Global financial and
commodities trust? Was it not
Britain?
Who was it that encouraged France to war with Hitler and at the
same
time bated the Soviets to war with Germany, while they talked peace?
Was it not Britain?
Who was it that promised Poland and
Czechoslovakia an alliance while
selling them out to Hitler in WWII? Was it
not Britain?
Who was it that encouraged Stalin and Roosevelt at the
Tehran and Yalta
Conferences, to divide the world into three spheres of
world financial
and commodities trusts? Was it not Churchill of
Britain?
Who took the Middle East as war booty, after WWI and divided up
the
Middle East territories willy-nilly – making Kings from camel herders?
Was it not Britain and France?
Who needs Middle East oil? Is it not
Britain and the rest of Europe?
After WWII, who created the world
financial trust in banking, the IMF
and the World Bank, the UN, to go along
with the Atlantic and Pacific
Councils, and from the RIIA, the cloned CFR?
Was it not Britain with
the help of the USA?
Have you not read the
“Anglo-American Establishment,” and “Tragedy and
Hope,” by Carol Quigley –
“...esteemed professor at the School of
Foreign Service at Georgetown
University and was the mentor for William
Jefferson Clinton, President of
the USA, and a Rhodes Scholar?
Have you not read, “Union with Britain
Now” by Clarence Streit, friend
of Lord Latham and the RIIA
crowd?
Have you not read “One World or None,” an anthology of opinions by
the
Nuclear Scientists of WWII, and a few pro-Anglo toads, such as Walter
Lippmann?
Have you not read “Propaganda” by Edward Bernays” WWI and
WWII, war
propagandist for the USA and close friend of MI5, and Carnegie and
Astor’s? All the liberal propaganda that oozes from the U.S. Democratic
Socialists can be found in this book of destiny. Every political
sleight of hand - every social reforming experiment – every bribe –
every feminist, LGBT, and socially debauched experimental nightmare can
be traced to this book.
What we are witnessing in the Middle East is
the British Plan of making
all things English in custom, law and finance,
with the aid of U.S.
fools who believe they will get a piece of the rock
when all is said
and done. Factually, the Templers are much smarter than
the Bonesmen of
the US. If, “money were your mouth is,” has been the rule
setter - and
the USA has spent a lot of the cash - why do Western Banking
interests
start at the LIBOR exchange in London? While the Brits encourage
the
USA to meld with Canada and Mexico to form the North American Dominion,
they are also encouraging us to meld with China. They play one end
against the middle, and if a blow off comes, the Brits stand apart from
the mess that ensues. The Brits are smooth when it comes to making
suggestions and tempting others to act on their behalf. If the Devil
ever had a brother it would be Anglo-Saxons!
The Middle East debacle
is no more than Britain attaining its goal of
cultural and financial
domination of the Sovereign funds of the Arabs.
This is why Prime Minister
Cameron told the world several months ago
that he would make London the
Islamic Financial capital of the world.
“What makes British Royalty so
fetid a culture - is not that they
disbelieve the grace of God - but that
they have not yet found a way to
steal it!” [fjv]
Clandestine
operations and Wars have been the life blood of the British
Empire for 500
years. It is their “Modus operandi.” It is the nature
of this Whore of
Revelation that sits upon the Beast and the peoples of
the world - but she
is going to get burned!

Rhetorical questions
are a feature of rhetoric and advocacy, not
scholarship. How many scholarly
theses and research books consist of a
series of rhetorical questions? Their
appeal is to the emotions rather
than the intellect.
Yes, there is a
British Conspiracy. But there is also a Jewish
Conspiracy, something you
seem to deny.
I have a webpage on this topic. The title is "Claims that
the One-World
conspiracy is "British" (not Jewish)".
I first uploaded
that webpage on May 19, 2004. Its address then was
http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/british-conspiracy.html
The
Internet Archive first archived that webpage on June 18, 2004:

Later,
I moved it to Mailstar, at

That
webpage links to a graphic, which shows the relationship between
- the
British Conspiracy
- the International Socialist (but anti-Stalinist)
conspiracy which
operates through it, as a Left wing
- the Zionist
conspiracy which operates through it, as a Right wing.
The graphic
explains that there is a Jewish Conspiracy inside the
British Conspiracy: http://mailstar.net/british-conspiracy.gif
I
was one of the first people in Australia to examine the original,
hardback
edition of Carroll Quigley's book The Anglo-American Establishment.
I
found it at the ADFA library in Canberra; when I went back the next
day, to
photocopy it, it had disappeared - and stayed missing.
Stephen Zarlenga
discovered the manuscript in some old papers, and
re-published it as a
paperback. On October 14, 2001, I uploaded the most
important parts to my

I
also uploaded important parts of Tragedy and Hope to

Cecil
Rhodes is the figurehead of the British Conspiracy. But who was
his banker
(the one who loaned him the money)? - Lord Rothschild.
Rothschild was the
Executor of Rhodes' will. He knew of the "British"
Conspiracy for world
domination, but Rhodes and the "British" did not
know of Rothschild's own
conspiracy for the same.
The crunch came in 1917, when the Balfour
Declaration, a contract
between the British Empire and World Jewry, was
addressed to Lord
Rothschild as head of the latter.
It lead to the
creation of the modern state of Israel, in return for
Jewry's committment to
use its media in the US and influence over the US
President (Wilson) to get
US troops into the war speedily, to ensure
that Britain won. Prior to the
fall of the Czar, only shortly before, US
Jewry had been pro-Germany,
because they detested the Czar.
If Rothschild had been loyal to the
"British" Conspiracy, he would never
have sought such a
quid-pro-quo.
Michael Higger writes in his book The Jewish Utopia that "A
Jewish
Utopia begins where Wells leaves off" (p. 6). That is, after Wells'
and
Soros' International Socialist conspiracy for World Government:
http://mailstar.net/jewish-utopia.html.
That
Left conspiracy favours Open Borders, Gay Marriage and the World
Court; the
Zionist Right wants to rule the world from the Third Temple
in Jerusalem,
built on the site where the Dome of the Rock now stands.
David ben
Gurion, writing in LOOK Magazine of January 16, 1962,
envisaged it achieved
by 1987. Despite the animosities of the Cold War
then under way, he saw
Eastern Europe being torn from the USSR and
joined with Western Europe; and
China (even Mao's China) and Japan
joining the US in what seems the first
published depiction of APEC.
A World-Government has been created, with
regional blocs in Europe, the
USSR and the Pacific Rim, and a Supreme Court
for Mankind has been
established in Jerusalem, as well as a shrine
commemmorating the Jewish
role in the bringing-together of mankind:

David Cameron's Jewish ancestry; beholden to Jewish donors

EmpireStrikesBack
– Tuesday 7th January 2014
All in the Family:
David Cameron’s Jewish
roots and the coreligionists who brought him to power
by Martin Iqbal.
<http://empirestrikesblack.com/category/blog/>
While
speaking to a 500-strong group of Jewish lobbyists in London in
2007, UK
Prime Minister David Cameron declared,[1]
<http://www.jpost.com/International/Cameron-declares-himself-a-Zionist>
“I am a Zionist”. He went on to add, “I’m not just a good friend of
Israel but I am, as you put it, good for Jews.”
These comments can
easily be explained merely as fawning attempts to
placate and appease the
Jewish lobby – a necessary step for any who wish
to assume high office. One
has to ask the question though: why does
‘Anglican’ David Cameron conceal
his own Jewish identity?
David Cameron is not merely of Jewish descent;
he hails from a bloodline
that can fairly be described as Jewish royalty,
yet he claims never to
have known this. As he spoke to the Movement for
Reform Judaism in 2010
he described his learning of his Jewish ancestry[2]
<http://news.reformjudaism.org.uk/press-releases/david-cameron-speaks-to-the-movement-for-reform-judaism.html>
as the “highlight” of his year.
While studying the Cameron family
tree in 2009,[3]
<http://www.manchester.ac.uk/aboutus/news/display/?id=4868>
Dr Yaakov
Wise – a University of Manchester historian who specialises in
Jewish
history – found that David Cameron is descended from a highly
distinguished Jewish family line:
“And according to Dr Wise, who has
been using archival material to
examine the Cameron family tree, the Tory
leader could also be a direct
descendent of the greatest ever Hebrew
prophet, Moses.
“Cameron is a descendent of banker Emile Levita, who came
to Britain as
a German immigrant in the 1850s. Emile Levita was himself a
descendent
of Elijah Levita, who lived from 1469-1549.
“During the
last years of his life Elijah Levita produced, among other
works, two major
books: the 1541 Translator’s Book, the first dictionary
of the Targums or
Aramaic commentaries on the Hebrew Bible.
“His lexicon of 1542 explained
much of the Mishnaic Hebrew language and
was a supplement to two important
earlier dictionaries.
“Elijah Levita also wrote what is thought to be the
first ever Yiddish
novel – called the Bove-bukh (The Book of Bove) written
in 1507 and
printed in 1541.
“The book is based on an Italian version
of an Anglo-Norman tale about a
queen who betrays her husband and causes his
death.
“Emile Levita, who was granted citizenship in 1871, is Cameron’s
great
great grandfather.”
Cameron’s great-great grandfather, Emile
Levita was a German Jewish
financier who emigrated to Britain and obtained
British citizenship in
1871. Levita was the director of the Chartered Bank
of India, Australia
and China which in 1969 became Standard Chartered Bank.
Levita himself
is descended from Elijah Levita, a Jewish scholar of
out-and-out
luminary status whose writings included not only a dictionary
explaining
much of the Talmudic Hebrew language (or ‘Mishnaic Hebrew’), but
the
first ever Yiddish novel (Yiddish, meaning literally “Jewish” is a
language of German Ashkenazi Jews written in the Hebrew
alphabet).
Considering the sheer historical eminence of his ancestors, it
would
take real gullibility to believe that David Cameron ‘found out’ about
his roots one year before he assumed office. The question is not ‘why
did Cameron have no knowledge of his Jewish roots’, but rather, why
would he conceal his Jewish identity?
A 2006 report by the Jewish
Chronicle[4]
<http://website.thejc.com/home.aspx?AId=46698&ATypeId=1&search=true2&srchstr=++%22big+jewish+backers+%22&srchtxt=0&srchhead=1&srchauthor=0&srchsandp=0&scsrch=0>
cited here by Stuart Littlewood[5]
<http://www.redressonline.com/2013/06/david-camerons-torah-government/>
perhaps goes some way in explaining this. The report titled ‘Team
Cameron’s big Jewish backers‘ is a laundry list of powerful members of
the Jewish community who donated over £1 million to David Cameron,
explaining his inexplicable rise to power after a relatively mundane and
unremarkable political career.
Aside from these donations from
powerful Jewish figures, a ‘small but
influential’ group of Jewish
Conservative officials and politicians were
also ‘key players’ in Cameron’s
campaign for leadership, the Jewish
Chronicle report goes on to mention.[4]
<http://website.thejc.com/home.aspx?AId=46698&ATypeId=1&search=true2&srchstr=++%22big+jewish+backers+%22&srchtxt=0&srchhead=1&srchauthor=0&srchsandp=0&scsrch=0>
In
the aforementioned piece,[5]
<http://www.redressonline.com/2013/06/david-camerons-torah-government/>
Stuart Littlewood makes an observation about the extent to which Jews
are over-represented in the British parliament:
“While nobody is
suggesting, I hope, that Jews have no place in our
law-making, it is not
unreasonable to wish the number to reflect their
presence in the population.
Three years ago the Jewish Chronicle
published a list of Jewish MPs in
Britain’s Parliament, naming 24. The
Jewish population in the UK at that
time was – and probably still is –
around 280,000 or just under 0.5 per
cent. There are 650 seats in the
House of Commons so, on a proportional
basis, Jews could expect three
seats. But with 24 they were eight times
over-represented. Which meant,
of course, that other groups were
under-represented.
“The UK’s Muslim population is about 2.4 million or
nearly 4 per cent.
Similarly, their quota would be 25 seats but they had
only eight – a
serious shortfall. If Muslims were over-represented to the
same extent
as Jews (i.e. eight times) they’d have 200 seats. Imagine the

David Cameron appointed the UK’s first Jewish ambassador[6]
<http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/24808/interview-the-uks-new-jewish-ambassador-israel>
to the Zionist regime, Matthew Gould.
Succeeded by David Cameron,
the previous leader of the Conservative
party, Michael Howard, is also
Jewish,[7]

as is the current
leader of the UK Labour party, Ed Miliband.[8]

Not bad going for a group that constitutes less than 0.5% of Britain’s
population.
If the British public were to consider Cameron’s very
real pursuance of
Zionist policies in the context of his rise to power on
the back of
Jewish money, there would be a public awakening (which would
no-doubt be
labelled as ‘anti-Semitism’). In light of this, the decision to
conceal
his Jewish identity can easily be understood.
It is not
democratic for a holder of high office to be put in place by
the money of
powerful political pressure groups. Nor is it democratic
for one
ethno-religious group to be grossly over-represented within the
corridors of
power.
If the interests of the Zionist regime and the powerful Jewish
community
were to conflict with those of the United Kingdom, who would David
‘I’m
a Zionist‘ Cameron really represent? If the recent wars on Libya and
Syria are anything to go by, this question need not be
asked.
