White Civil Rights : The Website for Europeans and Americans Wherever They May Live

As the drumbeat for military action against Iran grows louder, some members of Congress are calling to expand the long-standing U.S. trade ban that bars American companies from investing in that nation. In fact, many war hawks in Washington are pushing for a comprehensive international embargo against Iran. The international response has been lukewarm, however, because the world needs Iranian oil. But we cannot underestimate the irrational, almost manic desire of some neoconservatives to attack Iran one way or another, even if it means crippling a major source of oil and destabilizing the worldwide economy.

Make no mistake about it: Economic sanctions are acts of aggression. Sanctions increase poverty and misery among the very poorest inhabitants of targeted nations, and they breed tremendous resentment against those imposing them. But they rarely hurt the political and economic elites responsible for angering American leaders in the first place. (more…)

The Jews have always hated the Christian religion like poison and have been circulating slanders against Jesus Christ and attempts to undermine his message and his life story for millennia. Martin Luther denounced Jewish attempts to destroy Christianity in “The Jews and Their Lies,” and we all remember the absolute hysteria that the Jews went into eighteen months ago when producer Mel Gibson produced his theologically accurate movie “The Passion,” which correctly portrayed the Jewish Sanhedrin as the authors of Christ’s murder, as do the Scriptures.

Now there are two new efforts being made to use mysticism and fraud to undermine the central story of Jesus. The latest avenue of attack against the Christian religion has been to try and monkey with the four Gospels themselves, dealing with the life and death of Jesus Christ, and trying to re-write his career and his teachings in a politically correct, feminist and pro-homosexual way. The first and most commonly known of these is something called the “Da Vinci Code.” The book by the American author Dan Brown, tells of a Church-led conspiracy to suppress an alleged “marriage” between Mary Magdalene and Christ and the alleged existence of a royal bloodline. Leonardo Da Vinci supposedly discovered this conspiracy and scattered arcane and bizarre clues all over the fifteenth century which have now miraculously been “discovered” by a set of largely Jewish Biblical scholars.

According to a feature article in the Times of London, the American military is planning a “second liberation of Baghdad” to be carried out with the Iraqi army when a new government is installed, which at the rate they’re going means next year some time. “Pacifying the lawless capital is regarded as essential to establishing the authority of the incoming government and preparing for a significant withdrawal of American troops,” the newspaper informs us. (Why are American military plans being published in newspapers at all? Didn’t the idea used to be that an army wanted to KEEP SECRET its plans for future activities?)

Strategic and tactical plans are being laid by US commanders in Iraq to “clean up” Iraq’s chaotic capital so that the new puppet government at least won’t be embarrassed by having to hunker down in the heavily fortified Green Zone under the protection of American occupation troops. These neighborhoods contain thousands of heavily armed Iraqis belonging to assorted gangs, militias and guerrilla groups. We are in fact talking about a God-awful mess which will leave behind very little in the way of housing or people to be hooked up to utlities, like the American flattening of Fallujah, but reality very seldom intrudes its ugly head into American military planning these days.

It’s been three years since the U.S. launched its war against Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction. Of course, now almost everybody knows there were no WMD and Saddam Hussein posed no threat to the United States. Though some of our soldiers serving in Iraq still believe they are there because Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11, even the administration now acknowledges there was no connection. Indeed, no one can be absolutely certain why we invaded Iraq. The current excuse, also given for staying in Iraq, is to make it a democratic state, friendly to the United States. There are now fewer denials that securing oil supplies played a significant role in our decision to go into Iraq and stay there. That certainly would explain why U.S. taxpayers are paying such a price to build and maintain numerous huge, permanent military bases in Iraq. They’re also funding a new billion dollar embassy – the largest in the world.

The significant question we must ask ourselves is: What have we learned from three years in Iraq? With plans now being laid for regime change in Iran, it appears we have learned absolutely nothing. There still are plenty of administration officials who daily paint a rosy picture of the Iraq we have created. But I wonder: If the past three years were nothing more than a bad dream, and our nation suddenly awakened, how many would, for national security reasons, urge the same invasion? Would we instead give a gigantic sigh of relief that it was only a bad dream, that we need not relive the three-year nightmare of death, destruction, chaos, and stupendous consumption of tax dollars? Conceivably, we would still see oil prices under $30 a barrel, and most importantly, 20,000 severe U.S. casualties would not have occurred. My guess is that 99 percent of all Americans would be thankful it was only a bad dream, and would never support the invasion knowing what we know today. (more…)

As a kind of cheap, plastic and Styrofoam substitute for real democracy, America has become a nation driven by opinion polls. Some polls are reasonably impartial while others carefully word each question to cause as much bias as possible. A few polls are completely unbelievable being total works of fabrication or the people polled were almost certainly all members of the same political think tank. The polls by Zogby and similar large polling agencies tend to have some credibility to them.

Not long ago Bush sank to a 33 percent approval rating in a major poll –a remarkably low figure for someone not yet indicted or impeached. Last fall a Zogby poll found that a majority of Americans supported an impeachment of Bush if he lied us into war. Bush’s approval has continued to wallow in the 30s in poll after poll. The continuing quagmire in Iraq and a seemingly endless string of blunders and missteps keeps reminding the public that something is wrong with Bush. When Americans were asked to describe Bush with a single word, the most common response was “incompetent.” (more…)

The Israeli lobby and the neoconservatives are beating the drums for war with Iran. I hope the president is not that dangerously stupid. The betting on whether he is that stupid is about even.

The neocons – who, being self-centered, seemingly have no concept of human nature – are advancing the premise that a military attack on Iran will cause the people to lose faith in their government and result in regime change.

A military attack on Iran will have the opposite effect. The people will rally to their government, and any hope of regime change will be dead. That people will rally around their existing leaders in the face of an attack by a foreign power is as certain as sunrise. Neither Israel nor the U.S. could do a greater favor for the ruling mullahs and Iran’s president than to launch an attack. It would cement their hold on power. (more…)

Recently on a popular pro-White blog, a despondent individual lamented that White Americans won’t wake up to the illegal alien problem. He argued that because Whites had done nothing after the federal government desegregated America, they would almost certainly do nothing now -even if George Bush and the Senate sell us out with an amnesty for all the illegals.

Way back in the ’50s, the Jews through their control of the mass media persuaded most White people outside the South that segregation was something done by “evil White Southerners.” In reality segregation was intended to protect Whites from Black crime, protect White public schools from violence and disruption and to protect White neighborhoods so that Whites could go outside their homes at night without fear of being mugged or raped. The Jewish media however claimed that segregation was nothing but “oppression” against Blacks “whose only difference was skin color.” (How many times did the Jews utter that lie in those days!) Curiously the Jews never explained why the Blacks could not make their neighborhoods just as crime-free and clean as White neighborhoods or why the Blacks insisted on invading every last White area.

The Jews used the racially unaware Northerners to oppress the South. That’s how the Jews win these battles: They divide the White race against itself. The Jewish media rants about “evil” White Southerners or “evil” Nazi Germans or “evil” White South Africans or “evil ethnic-cleansing” Serbs. As long as the majority of Americans feel unaffected and believe the Jewish media, the Jews are able to push us into imposing sanctions or going to war. (more…)

Led by a familiar clutch of neoconservative hawks, major right-wing publications are calling on the administration of President George W. Bush to urgently plan for military strikes – and possibly a wider war – against Iran in the wake of its announcement this week that it has successfully enriched uranium to a purity necessary to fuel nuclear reactors.

In a veritable blitz of editorials and opinion pieces published Wednesday and Thursday, the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard, and National Review warned that Tehran had passed a significant benchmark in what they declared was its quest for nuclear weapons and that the administration must now plan in earnest to destroy Iran’s known nuclear facilities, as well as possible military targets, to prevent it from retaliating.

Comparing Iran’s alleged push to gain a nuclear weapon to Adolf Hitler’s 1936 march on the Rhineland, Weekly Standard editor William Kristol called for undertaking “serious preparation for possible military action – including real and urgent operational planning for bombing strikes and for the consequences of such strikes.” (more…)

If you were President George W. Bush with all available US troops tied down by the Iraqi resistance, and you were unable to control Iraq or political developments in the country, would you also start a war with Iran?

Yes, you would.

Bush’s determination to spread Middle East conflict by striking at Iran does not make sense.

First of all, Bush lacks the troops to do the job. If the US military cannot successfully occupy Iraq, there is no way that the US can occupy Iran, a country approximately three times the size in area and population.

Second, Iran can respond to a conventional air attack with missiles targeted on American ships and bases, and on oil facilities located throughout the Middle East.

Third, Iran has human assets, including the Shi’ite majority population in Iraq, that it can activate to cause chaos throughout the Middle East. (more…)

A recent news article reports “Thousands of supporters of illegal aliens gathered today in protest events in over 60 cities nationwide, but most left home a symbol that has stirred controversy with many Americans: the Mexican flag… According to Fox News, a protester at a large rally in Phoenix, Ariz., brought a Mexican flag to the event and was asked to remove it. Spanish-language radio had advised protesters not to take Mexican flags to today’s protest. The new sensitivity comes after immigration-reform advocates yesterday burned a Mexican flag on the sidewalk in front of the Mexican Consulate in Tucson, Ariz. They carried a sign that read, ‘Defending American Sovereignty,’ the Associated Press reported. ‘Anytime they take to the streets, we’ll burn a Mexican flag,’ Laine Lawless, director of the Border Guardians and organizer of Sunday’s flag burning, told AP.”

The large rallies across America by hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens demanding amnesty are not going to persuade ordinary Americans to join the open borders crowd. Instead, most people will be alarmed at the army of brown invaders in their home city. The illegal alien problem has plagued border states for decades. The problem has only recently spread to every major American city and become a serious nation-wide issue. Opinion polls have consistently shown over 80 percent of Americans supporting a serious crackdown on illegal aliens. (more…)
