More Israeli Hypocrisy

Obedient Stooge of the Israeli Lobby

Jews love to dictate morality to other people. Thanks to their control of Hollywood and the tremendous power of the Israeli Lobby, they are able to brainwash the naive and pass laws which suit their agenda. The first thing they tell us is that “Christian morality” is wrong. That it’s too “old fashioned” and “oppressive.” They tell us that we shouldn’t speak too loudly about Jesus at Christmas time and that we shouldn’t have Christmas displays because it might “offend” people. They tell us it’s hateful or bigoted to consider homosexuality wrong. They tell us we should have open borders and gun control. Meanwhile, when it comes to their nation of Israel, the rules suddenly change. The version of morality, that they push on us, no longer applies. When it comes to illegal immigration, they don’t allow any. Period, end of story.

According to an article in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, “The Knesset (Israeli parliament) on Wednesday voted to extend and widen the controversial Citizenship Law, which denies family unification to Israelis and Palestinians. The law, which was to have expired next month, will be extended to July 2008 and apply to citizens of the four enemy states - Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran - as well as to those of the Palestinian Authority.” So much for immigration marriages of convenience and sneaking into Israel to have an “anchor baby,” one of the two favorite tricks of Third Worlders to sneak into America.

Fly the Drunken Skies

If You Drink, Don’t Fly

It is one of the many unspoken secrets of our wonderful capitalist society that the biggest danger to air passengers comes not from Arab terrorists, but from the pilots and ground crews and mechanics of the airlines. Many of these jobs are now staffed on the basis of Affirmative Action quotas. To further reduce the cost of maintenance, many airlines have moved their maintenance outside the US. The biggest causes of airline disasters in recent decades have been poor maintenance and pilot error.

One news article reports “JetBlue, Southwest, America West, Northwest and United are among the carriers who outsource major maintenance of their aircraft to contractors in other countries, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.

• As JetBlue’s new A320 Airbus fleet ages, aircraft are sent to a repair hub in El Salvador;
• America West also sends its jets to El Salvador;
• Southwest has always outsourced its major maintenance;
• US Airways mechanics agreed Friday to pay cuts and the outsourcing of 2,000 mechanics jobs;
• Northwest sends its wide-body jets to Singapore and Hong Kong;
• Bankrupt United Airlines recently won union approval to begin using outside contractors for heavy maintenance.

It wasn’t long ago that major airlines employed their own highly-skilled mechanics, each with his or her own Federal Aviation Administration license.” (more…)

Israel Making Money off Iraq War

Gold Ingots

A recent news article reports “Pilotless planes small enough for a single soldier to carry and operate are gathering intelligence for U.S.-led forces in Iraq and Afghanistan….Elbit Systems, one of Israel’s leading defense electronics companies, said its little Skylark can cover an area within a range of 6 miles day or night. It is about 7 feet long with a wingspan of nearly 8 feet…[a spokesman] said the Skylark, one of several items of Israeli defense hardware deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, would be unveiled to the public at the March 20-25 Australian International Airshow. ”

The article goes on to say “Earlier this month, state-owned arms-maker Rafael said it had won a contract to supply the U.S. Marine Corps with state-of the-art armored vehicles, and military analysts said Israeli firms had long been supplying and maintaining equipment for American ground and naval forces in Iraq, although both buyers and sellers generally preferred to keep a low profile.”

Apparently we have no arms manufacturers or defense contractors in the United States, who can keep our military supplied with the equipment it needs, which I am sure will come as a shock to many. (more…)

Immigration Officials Stage “Show” Raid

Filed under: — @ 6:44 am

Border Security Under George Bush

There is one thing to be said about the illegal immigration issue: it can’t be swept under the rug. When ordinary Americans can’t walk into a grocery store or Wal-Mart without being deluged with the chatter of Spanish, when low-riders roar by on the street outside or hang in the parking lot swigging Corona beer with their salsa music blasting, when a trip to the emergency room means a four-hour wait to see a doctor because the place is clogged with Mexicans using it for their primary care center (and you’re bleeding on the floor and haggling with some black admin nurse about your insurance)–then it’s pretty hard to conceal the fact that America has an illegal alien problem. Americans SEE illegal immigration every day and public clamoring for something to be done about it increases every day.

Of course, the government has no intention whatsoever of doing anything about illegal immigration. Capitalism isn’t going to cut off its own cheap labor source. But things have gotten to the point where the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which seems to have replaced the old INS) is being compelled to stage a few well-publicized raids for show. According to a recent news article “Federal authorities on Friday raided a construction company accused of hiring illegal immigrants, detaining eight undocumented workers and arresting several other employees. Scores of agents fanned out in Douglas, along the Mexico border, and in Sierra Vista, about 50 miles northwest, in the raid on Sun Dry Wall & Stucco Inc.’s offices, a foreman’s home, the home of a suspected counterfeiter and eight work sites.” (more…)

Confessions Extracted Under Torture Are Worthless

Filed under: — @ 11:37 am

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed

The latest bit of neocon propaganda which we are being fed in the run-up to Bush’s unprovoked attack on Iran is that an Arab named Khalid Sheik Mohammed has confessed to “masterminding” the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center and personally beheading a Jew named Daniel Pearl back in 2002 as well. Why it took so long for Mohammed’s “confession” to be trotted out, no one is saying. His arrest was trumpetted as a great victory, but it hasn’t led to the arrest of Osama bin Laden. This raises the question: Can we believe anything from our government on the war on terror? Maybe this guy was running a falafel stand and just got swept in off the street.

According to the Sydney Herald, “‘I was responsible for the 9/11 operation, from A to Z,’ Mohammed said in a statement, read by a US military officer at the hearing held at the US camp for war on terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.” Mohammed supposedly said as well, “I decapitated with my blessed right hand the head of the American Jew, Daniel Pearl, in the city of Karachi, Pakistan.” No media or other impartial observers have been allowed near this man, so we have no way of knowing if Mohammed even said any such thing at all, under torture or not.

Valerie Plame Was Covert

Filed under: — @ 5:59 am

by James Buchanan

Valerie Plame

Valerie Plame was doing covert work at the CIA at least until Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and Scooter Libby dug up her name, passed it around and published it. She was the head of a covert company set up to do covert work employing covert agents operating in foreign lands. Still, some neocon talk show hacks are still trying to push the story that she had nothing to do with classified work.

One of the many lies passed around is that “she boasted about her CIA job at cocktail parties.” If there were any truth to that “Karl Rove” rumor, Ms. Plame would have been subject to discipline within the CIA for talking too much. Some neocon lawyers have jumped into the mix trying to nitpick the definition of “covert.” The one fig leaf that various portly neocons are trying to hide behind is that to be convicted it must be proven that the offending individual knew that Ms. Plame was covert.

Well, that was the whole point of outing her wasn’t it? Valerie Plame’s husband Joe Wilson embarrassed the Bush administration when he exposed the fact that Iraq was not seeking uranium from Niger, contrary to what Bush said in his State of the Union speech. The neocons wanted to punish Wilson so they went after his wife, exposing her identity as a CIA agent and ruining her career. If Valerie Plame worked at Bank of America, would the neocons have told Robert Novak about her? Of course, not.

A few neocons claimed that Valerie Plame assigned her husband to investigate whether Iraq was seeking Nigerian uranium. In recent testimony, Ms. Plame stated she had no authority to choose him for that job. Joe Wilson was a former ambassador with experience in Africa, who was well-qualified for that assignment.

George Bush’s dad once said the most insidious form of treason is the exposure of a CIA agent’s identity. Robert Novak, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove and Scooter Libby all deserve to be put on trial for treason for exposing the identity of a CIA agent, who was doing covert work. (more…)

Detainee Pleads Guilty to Everything

Filed under: — @ 5:55 am

Khalid Shaikh Mohammed

Whenever the Bush administration gets into trouble, they need to invent a new “victory” in the war on terror. How many times did they announce the capture or death of a high ranking member of al Qaeda in Iraq? Meanwhile, Bush and Cheney avoided any embarrassing discussion about why there was “an al Qaeda in Iraq” while previously under Saddam, there was no such organization.

On the heels of the Scooter Libby conviction and the Walter Reed scandal, the latest claim of success by the neocons is that the hapless, unshaven character they captured last year, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who bears a slight resemblance to Jackie Gleason, is responsible for virtually every major terrorist outrage from 911 to the Daniel Pearl slaying. Meanwhile another story has surfaced that he was water-boarded for a record two-and-a-half minutes. I suppose most people who suffer that sort of drowning torture are going to confess to pretty much everything. It’s very convenient that this man confessed. A military trial of a foreign national would be an awkward proceeding of dubious legality. Soon he’ll be sentenced to death and his execution will be scheduled to try to blot out the next neocon scandal. (more…)

Iran Nowhere Close to Making A-Bomb

Filed under: — @ 3:23 am

Crazy Bush

by Charles Coughlin

An article in the British press reports “Iran’s efforts to produce highly enriched uranium, the material used to make nuclear bombs, are in chaos and the country is still years from mastering the required technology. Iran’s uranium enrichment programme has been plagued by constant technical problems, lack of access to outside technology and knowhow, and a failure to master the complex production-engineering processes involved. The country denies developing weapons, saying its pursuit of uranium enrichment is for energy purposes. Despite Iran being presented as an urgent threat to nuclear non-proliferation and regional and world peace - in particular by an increasingly bellicose Israel and its closest ally, the US - a number of Western diplomats and technical experts close to the Iranian programme have told The Observer it is archaic, prone to breakdown and lacks the materials for industrial-scale production.”

Starting a war should be done with at least the same deliberation as executing a prisoner. After all, human lives are at stake in both instances. A competent defense and prosecution case should be presented, and an impartial decision should be made. Unfortunately a murderer in the US gets more deliberation and a fairer hearing than nations we target for war. Some people would argue that war should be avoided at all costs. Sweden and Switzerland have avoided war for over 200 years. (more…)

“The 300″ Heroic Battle or Twisted Propaganda

Filed under: — @ 3:21 am

Spartan King

by Jeff Davis

“The 300″ has garnered 70 million dollars in its opening weekend, which is unprecedented for an epic historical movie that heavily uses blue screen technology. Apparently it’s a well done action movie, but is there anything subliminal or fishy about it? What would make it acceptable to the Hollywood elite who determine which movies appear in theaters and which don’t? Hollywood usually doesn’t glorify great moments in European history so something funny is going on.

According to the Toronto Star, Hellenic scholar Ephraim Lytle sees a lot of disturbing inaccuracies that may go beyond the usual Hollywood “dramatic license” of the kind that had the courtiers of Louis XV disco-dancing at Versailles in the atrocious film Marie Antoinette. In an interview with the Star, Lytle says that “History is altered all the time. What matters is how and why. Thus I see no reason to quibble over the absence in 300 of breastplates or modest thigh-length tunics. I can see the graphic necessity of sculpted stomachs and three hundred Spartan-sized packages bulging in spandex thongs.” Uh, wait a minute. That is the first problem I would have with the flick, assuming that what I saw in the trailers is confirmed. In the first place, Greece gets pretty damned cold in the winter. Spandex thongs may be a slight exaggeration, the garments looked more like Ghandi-style “diapers” for lack of a better word. The movie trailers show the Spartans wearing helmets, shields, “diapers” and capes —that leaves a lot of vulnerable skin for arrows to strike. (more…)

Bush Dodges Scandals to Go on Road Trip

Filed under: — @ 6:44 am

Crazy Bush

by James Buchanan

What do you do after your Vice President’s chief of staff has been sentenced to prison, when you’re one of the worst presidents in recent history, who’s walked us into an endless quagmire in the Middle East, spent money like a drunken Democrat and just gotten the Republican Congress voted out of power? Road Trip!!!

Sad, but true, this is apparently how Bush’s mind works. Every one of these pointless trips through the Third World taken by an American president winds up costing American taxpayers billions of dollars in presidential “generosity.” Somehow I doubt if Bush would even fund one of those Third World orphans on the late night commercials if he had to spend his own money.

And it’s not like there’s any brand new problem here at home –like maybe wounded veterans in rat-infested hospitals!!!! No, frat boy Bush needs a road trip to get away from all these terrible domestic problems. Too bad the soldier with the missing foot in Walter Reed can’t enjoy a similar luxury-filled vacation.

A recent news article notes “President George W. Bush said on Monday he wants a breakthrough on U.S. immigration reform by August but defended raids against illegal immigrants, a policy that drew criticism during his tour of Latin America. Bush discussed immigration and regional efforts against drug trafficking with Guatemalan President Oscar Berger after promoting free trade and U.S. anti-poverty efforts in a trip to the Mayan highlands…. (Bush) said he hoped to get the Democratic-led Congress to make significant strides toward an immigration overhaul, including a temporary guest worker program, in coming months.” (more…)
