Nuke Rises in Iran

By Jay D. Homnick on 7.31.09 @ 6:08AM

Not a question of if but when Israel will respond.

JERUSALEM — It is an affectation of history textbooks to describe the periods immediately preceding wars as pregnant with portents of impending conflict. We all grew up reading about storm clouds gathering across the horizon and nations being placed on war footings, generally at the end of chapters. It seems likely that many of those battles began suddenly, with the citizenry of both countries suspecting little, but this does not suit the dramatic needs of classroom presentation.

Still, we have all experienced the kind of tense prewar buildup where everyone knows what is coming. In the first Gulf War, the first President Bush first gave Saddam Hussein an ultimatum to pull his invaders out of Kuwait by January 15, 1991, or else. The else was taking shape by the day, as over half a million of American troops were being shipped on huge destroyers to Saudi Arabia. Mister Hussein was not impressed, responding only by threatening to bomb Israel if he was attacked. I was living in Israel at the time and I vividly recall how we counted down the days to the inevitable.

In the end, the war started only one night late and went exactly as expected. America liberated Kuwait, Hussein dumped 39 Scud missiles into Israel, with the Israeli government biting its official lip and staying out of the fireworks. Twelve years later the second President Bush did something similar, although without the precisely dated ultimatum, and no one was surprised when the bombing of Iraq began, followed shortly thereafter by the American invasion.

Now in 2009, here I am again in Israel, this time as a tourist, and the situation is roughly the same, with the players altered somewhat. This time everyone knows that Israel must attack Iran, and relatively soon, but the timing is not quite definitive. For a best guess, most of the cagy codgers here who have seen it all are betting on early October. There have been some indications that the Obama administration has given Iran until September to accept Uncle Sam’s outstretched hand or else. The Obama else will be more of an Elsie, speaking loudly and carrying a small stick. But Israel does not consider itself bound by American long-range assessments, nor has the President won its trust. Israeli Knesset members on the right have taken to referring to our chief executive as Barack Hussein Obama, but it is unlikely this represents an expression of friendly familiarity.

The biggest danger for Israel would have been if Iran suddenly accepted the American overtures and began some phoney diplomatic process designed to buy time. This would have trapped Israel in a pincer, placing it in a no-win situation. If it did not act Iran would complete its nuclear weapon while stalling Obama at the negotiating table. If it did act it would be seen as needlessly undermining the well-crafted, showing-progress, breakthrough initiative of the debonair American President.

Here fate has interceded in the form of the contested Iranian election. With the Islamic regime killing protesters on streets and in prisons, it is essentially forced to back this up with uncompromising rhetoric. This is hardly a moment it can exploit to show a smiley-face to the American public. Moreover, if Iran agreed to sit down, the U.S. would have to insist on a complete end to overt repression of political opponents. Israel should have the breathing room it needs to take care of business.

Among potential winners of a successful foray by Israel is the Republican Party. Thus far the party has not taken a strong position against Obama squeezing Israel. An Israeli effort against the Iranian nuclear capacity would be met by very strong condemnation among Obama’s Democrat colleagues. They would wind up sounding like Europe redux. If Republicans stood alone in lauding this action, it could go a long way towards clarifying who supporters of Israel can really trust.

All of this is easy to say, but the reality is fraught with margin for error. If Israel gets it right, as it did with the Iraq nuclear plant in Osirak during the Reagan administration, the odds are the complaints will die down quickly enough. On the other hand… there is no other hand. If ‘twere done ‘tgotta be done well. Failure is not an option.

Israel has no choice but to attack Iran. We are not offering anything new to sway the Iranians from their quest. I believe Israle will attack before year's end.

CrimsonSunsetfire| 7.31.09 @ 9:15AM

It would be the intelligent thing to do to stop thinking in terms of "limited wars" with "limited objectives". If we had won the Korean war and at a later date kept our troops rolling into Iran, we would not be facing the potential of millions of Americans and/or Europeans, and/or Israelis dying in a nuclear "man caused disaster". Not to mention, millions of our fellow human beings would be freemen instead of slaves to Islamofascism and communism. The Iranian government is already killing our sons and daughters in Iraq and Afghanistan, and exactly what do you think they are going to do once they have nuclear capabilities? Taking out their facilities only delays the inevitable and the day of reckoning. Liberate Iran. NOW.

Solo| 7.31.09 @ 9:31AM

I believe that the Israelis have waited too long already. It would have been wise to de-claw Iran prior to a leftist democrat being elected to the Presidency here in the USA.

The result of an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear sites will be Iran disrupting shipping in the Gulf. This would put severe pressure on world oil prices that would normally force the U.S. into action to keep the lanes clear.

Under this president, however, a world oil crisis feeds directly into his desire to institute his "alternative energy" scheme: doubling energy prices will seem to be a relief to the American people once the prices have tripled through shortages. The job losses and income straining will see more people unable to afford health care and food, etc.

If Israel fails to act Iran will eventually attack with her nukes or, at least, use them for blackmail and Barak Hussien Obama gets what he wants (an end to Israel). If Israel intervenes on her own behalf, the world descends into economic chaos and, again, Obama gets what he wants.

The tough part for Obama's team of henchmen is deciding what they want the most: The destruction of Israel or the destruction of the American economy that they will blame on THE JOOOOS.

Decisions.....decisions...

Larry C. Roberts, MD, MA| 7.31.09 @ 9:46AM

Small point, but "huge destroyers" is an oxymoron. Destroyers are among the smaller warships. Most troops went either by air or amphibious ships. Otherwise right on the mark.

John Navratil| 7.31.09 @ 9:56AM

Solo,

The interregnum between Bush and Obama may have been a better time, but I am not so sure.

Thinking past the first step, disruption of the shipping lanes would curtail a lot of oil supply but would also cripple gasoline supplies to Iran. Then we still have the petroleum reserve which gives us an edge in time that Iran doesn't have.

You also presume that the same people who voted for Obama and who are now fleeing his camp will turn to him for salvation rather than realizing that jaw-jaw doesn't fight war-war.

Finally, you give no thought to the fact that Iran is, itself, in turmoil with over half the population with no living memory of the Shah and who are already suggesting that isolation from the West has not been good for Iran.

Your assessment is too bleak.

Tim| 7.31.09 @ 10:03AM

What can the Israelis accomplish militarily? That's a fair question. Iran remembers the Osirak attack and they have spread out their weapon sites and dug them in.
Israel may not have a viable military option other than MAD.

John Navratil| 7.31.09 @ 10:11AM

Tim,

The weapons sites with no nukes are one problem. The ones with nukes are another. The objective is to act against the former to prevent the latter. The West hasn't been much help, so far.

Texas Male| 7.31.09 @ 10:12AM

Israel taking out Iranian nuke facilities cannot be compared to the mission against the Osirak plant in Iraq. I believe Iran knows that Israel will strike this year and unlike Iraq, Iran is prepared to pre-empt what it sees as inevitable.

Most likely one of Iran's surrogates on the Israeli border (Hamas, hezbollah,) will instigate an Intifada and wait for the Israeli response.

Once they have the appropriate propaganda coordinated from those defensive actions that the west will run with on every news report, Iran will attempt to facilitate the final destruction of Israel, or at the least, the mortal wounding of that nation.

The ominous part of this scenario is that Israel will have no choice but to view this as an existential war and we will find out just how many nukes Israel really has. The unique danger with Iran is that the prospect of being nuked does not sway their ideology, methods, or plans. It is part of their cultic world view that Iranians martyrdom will usher in fifth Imam, muslim world domination, and all the rest that permeate that culture and part of the world.

Turn the whole place into glass.

The end is upon us| 7.31.09 @ 10:46AM

People who want war in the Middle East don't live in the Middle East.

Israel will be blown up with its Own Nuclear Missiles. Trust me on this bit of information, no body in the Middle East wants war with Israel, it's Israel who wants war with every country in the area because the weaponds is free, and the money is free.

To be frank it will get to the point where evrey country in the Middle East says enough is enough.

Who is going to be the loser, how can Israel use Nuclear weaponds without blowing up it's self.

Israel will be destroyed this | 7.31.09 @ 10:55AM

Israel wan't to be destroyed, because they think The massiah is coming, the Iranians think there is some one coming back. The Bilbe is a lie, trans-scripted by a bunch of Jewish crooks to fool christians, the Islamic people have already been fooled, its all about deception.

All Christians swear on the Jewish Torah, and when they come to America they swear on the Koran, when they are in Europe they swear on the bible.

Its a trilatual deception you deceive your people I'll deceive mine and so on.

The worst part is the Jews thinks some one will come to save them. And the Christians are convinced that the jews are right, all this with no evidence.

The End of Israel| 7.31.09 @ 10:59AM

No body is going to save the Jews, the Jews ia about the most hated people in the whole entire world. Next comes the Blacks.

If Israel thinks any body is going to save their crazy ass, they better wake up. Hitler tried to rif the world of them once, and for all they know this is another plot against them.

Oh good gtrief! Is it any wonder the Left continues to made inroads on our freedoms when the bunch of you sound like this?

Iran is a clear and present danger to the United States and to the world. One of Bush's failures was taking so long in Iraq that he could not act against Iran. While terrorism and its backers remains a threat (Iran pays them) the policing of Iraq needs take a back seat to immediate action against Iran.

Either drop the 101st or 82nd on Natanz and take it apart of simply use some non-nuclear "special weapons" and eliminate the plant.

It is a sad day when the pre-eminent power in the world looks to a small ally to act on its behalf. Are we afraid for our reputation to the detriment of our existence? "The world will never love us, but they should always respect us." TR

ncatty| 7.31.09 @ 12:36PM

"If Republicans stood alone in lauding this action, it could go a long way towards clarifying who supporters of Israel can really trust."

George Bush was Israel's best friend. How come supporters of Israel didnt vote for him?

ccc| 7.31.09 @ 12:54PM

W. screwed over israel with his illy roadmap plan. Israel conqured territory fair and square so it's theirs until someone can conquer them. Israel has played well with the US so sell them all the weapons they want so they can hold their ground.

Jack Neidlinger| 7.31.09 @ 12:57PM

The mullahs in Iran probably think that since they were not defeated by Iraq, they will not be defeated by Israel. The Israelis are are not the Iraquis. They should turn Iran into glass and add the territory to the west bank and gaza. God bless Israel. By the way, the U.S. no longer matters, as we are now ruled by the new castrati, led by Hussein, Rahm, & David, the latter two being self loathing Jews. God deliver us from these testosterone challenged bastards.

Tim| 7.31.09 @ 1:20PM

Obama is more outraged about American cops than he ever was about Iran, or North Korea.
The only question I have for Mr. Homnick is , given that you think Israel has the ability to launch an effective strike, what would it look like? I wish they could , but I really don't see that they have the capacity.

MikeN| 7.31.09 @ 2:02PM

After the Iraqi WMD debacle, don't you think you should be a little more careful before declaring that Iran will have nuclear weapons?

Peace in ME will never happen| 7.31.09 @ 2:08PM

When Israel attack Iran, there will not be a single American service men or women coming out of the ME unless they are in a coffin, from Iraq to Afghanistan, or where ever they are in the ME.
Israel don't care, why should they, they did Sept 11th and got a Million Iraqis killed.

What I see happening, is Israel attacked on 3 fronts. If they strike Iran they will be struck because Israel has no friends in the Arab world.
Infact they could be struck and invaded there may be many lives lost on all sides.

I personally would like to see peace in the ME, but it will never happen as long as Israel exist there will be war. If you want peace you have to act peacefully, and so far I have seen violence.

The American people had every chance to review Obama's record (or lack thereof) and voted for him anyway.

Finally....

"Finally, you give no thought to the fact that Iran is, itself, in turmoil with over half the population with no living memory of the Shah and who are already suggesting that isolation from the West has not been good for Iran. "

What the people of Iran "suggest" is irrelevant. The last election is a demonstration of this. Those who outwardly objected to Iran's persistent "...isolation from the west" are either dead or in prison.

My assessment may be bleak- but it is realistic.

You're assuming that Iran's values, moral and political restraints and methods of dealing with a crisis are similar to ours. That's a serious mistake.

In fact...it's a mistake to assume that the Obama administration is similarly encumbered.

Ritual Killings

Ritual killings are relatively unusual, but sometimes bear some of the hallmarks of a serial killing, such as mutilation of the corpse or some kind of special positioning. Many ritual murders involve the idea of human sacrifice, usually for religious reasons. The term religion is, however, used quite loosely in this context, as it can include belief systems such as satanism and vampirism. There may also be cultural, psychological, and psychosexual elements to a ritual murder . The hallmark of a ritual killing is evidence of acts not necessary to bring about death. For example, bite marks, excessive violence, and sexual assault may be found in connection with a ...

JEWISH RITUAL MURDER
by ARNOLD LEESE

Picture Postcard widely circulated in Poland showing ritual
murder of Agnes Hruza, age 19. Jew named Hilsner was found
guilty of this crime. (Date 1899, Story in Chapter 10).

"Soul had they none, nor lineage;
"Nor wit, nor headmen,
"Nor crafts, nor letters,
"Nor e'en a glimpse of God."
- British Edda.

"Ye are of your father the devil and the lusts of your father ye will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning...."
- St. John, viii, 44.

"In order to destroy the prestige of heroism for political crime, we shall send it for trial in the category of thieving, murder, and every abominable and filthy crime. Public opinion will then confuse in its conception this category of crime with the disgrace attaching to every other and will brand it with the same contempt."
Protocol 19 of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

"If I am killing a rat with a stick and have him in a corner, I am not indignant if he tries to bite me and squeals and gibbers with rage. My job is, not to get angry, but to keep cool, to attend to my footwork and to keep on hitting him where it will do the most good."

- A. S. Leese, speaking at Reception, 17th Feb., 1937, on his return from prison.

Wrong. Kabbalistic magic is very ingrained in judaism. Join a few discussions on jewish message boards and you will find this out. Jews are not supposed to get into it until they are 40 years of age according to the rabbis. While all jews know about it, it may be true that the younger ones don't know much about it.

The people of GAZA is kept in prisoned to keep using their children as human sacrifice.

This is why the Europeans was glad to get rid of them out of Europe.

Many of them still live in the west to gain money and wealth.

The people in the Arab world have been murdered in Ritual sacrifice since 1948 to this day 2009 and will continue till the Arab world can muster the courage to do what Europe had to do to put a stop to these awful crimes against humanity.

Sex, Drugs, the CIA, MIND CONTROL and Your Children

By A.B.H. Alexander

Probe Magazine 1997

The CIA, the FINDERS and a likely avenue to acquire children?
Project Monarch and the Cathy O'Brien Story
South of the Border-the NAFTA message
Enter Kelly, Mark Phillips, exit Project Monarch
What else do we know?
The Last Straw?

Throughout history, among the ruling elite. Just how to control the populace and defeat your enemies is a top priority. In the waning years of the Vietnam conflict we heard our generals stressing that we should win the hearts and minds of our enemy, this strategy was proving successful, but it was too little too late. In the late 1930's Adolf Hitler and his colleagues had to make a choice between building more weapons of mass destruction and weapons of mass control. Hitler choose the later. Those in ruling positions decide between subtle methods of control by media, taxes, religion and health measures, or simple, brutal police state tactics.

The use of propaganda techniques made famous by Joseph Goebbels became such a sublime way of Influencing the masses that our latter day propagandists are now more numerous than ever. The only thing that has changed is their title; they now call themselves "spin doctors", and they aren't spinning the truth.

Chinese philosopher and strategist. Sun Tzu, said. "All warfare Is based on deception. A skilled general must be master of the complementary arts of simulation and dissimulation; while creating shapes, to confuse and delude the enemy, he conceals his true dispositions and ultimate intent. Moving as intangibly as a ghost in the starlight, he Is obscure. Inaudible. His primary target is the mind of the opposing commander; the-vlctorlous situation, a product of his creative Imagination." (i) Sun Tzu fully realized that real victory lies in controlling the thoughts of your enemy.

Today, controlling the mind of what is perceived as the enemy has risen to new heights. While propagandists and spin doctors are the more visible tools, there is a much more sinister understanding of how advances in technology can turn any human being into a kind of slave. The worst part of it all is that many of those so enslaved are so well conditioned to their state of misery that they accept the yoke with little struggle.

What tools are used and how far have these projects gone? Previous issues of PROBE and many other publications as well, have recently highlighted the potential use of this ultimate weapon of mind control. Part of this article will explore the lesser known but depraved use of this power over a group of selected people with incestual and sexual abuse backgrounds.

First, we must separate fantasy from fiction and find out what can be documented. Second, we must remember that what we are searching for is supposed to be kept a secret. Therefore, while the quality of information is mixed. It may also be very disturbing.

Move towards China, and what China needs to do is to buy up real things in America for the debt before the US Dollars is worthless. Fuck America and Fuck all Americans if they turn up in America fuck them up they have a country stay in it and keep out of the rest of the world.

Stop Using Muslim as a reason| 7.31.09 @ 7:17PM

It's time the Arab world do something they have never don before, stop all oil supplies to America. If they attack any Muslim country they club togeather and put santions on the se fuckers and destroy their economy for ever.

Stop giving oil to America to give them the opportunity to supply arms and oil to these NAZI criminals. It's time the Arab world did something in the interest of the ME.

If America divide and destroy the ME, it's the loss of a culture, the Arabs should not allow that to happen. These Yanks is not interested in the good of mankind but in the interest of themselves.

It's time to treat these criminals as what they are a bunch of murders, with no mercy.

They just murdered over amillion people over a lie, that these Israelis who killed over 3000 Americans and using it to falsly attack Iraq, now they want to do the same to Iran, I say to Iran have no mercy attack with full force once and for all time. If you have to die die fighting for your freedom and get rid of these fools once and for all times.

If theyFuck with you fuck them| 7.31.09 @ 7:26PM

DO to Israel what they do to you. They kill your people, its time to defent your area. Arabs must stand togather. If America attack any place in the Arab world Arabs should stand togather. If Israel attack any place in Iran Israel should be destroyed for ever. You have to fight fire with fire. Iran has never attacked Israel, so if they attack Iran I feel it's time for all Arabs to defend the Arab world for the first time.

The entire world will be behind you, the world is sick of the Yanks, the Africans is sick of them too the whole of Europe has had enough, enough is enough.

Its time these fuckers get a taste of their own medicine.

Iran has a right to be free| 7.31.09 @ 8:01PM

2006 Israel attacked Lebanon why? 2008-2009 Israel attacked GAZA why? few years before that they attacked Syria, falsly accused of having a Nuclear plant, 2009 they are falsly acusing the Iranian of trying to acheive a nuclear bomb with no evidence. Before that they put out false statement of WMD on Iraq. Before that they killed over 3000 Americans claim its the Arabs.

Quite frankly, if I was not trying to get Nuclear WMD having those shit heads could cause a man to do what they would not do other wise.

But if Israel has signed any peace plan tear it up and send it back to these mass murders it's worth nothing. Dont trust them or the Yanks. Do what you have to -to survive. Israel needs to be boycotted, and America. If they strike Israel should be a message to buy no coke, and no hambergers and nothing American and nothing Israeli. Find a way, no oil, pull the plug on these criminals till they change their ways.

Has anyone looked at a map of the Middle East lately? It hasn’t changed since 1981 when Israel supposedly flew a much smaller strike package a lot less distance to strike southern Iraq. With the limited number of Strike Eagles they have and larger numbers of F-16Is with conformal tanks it would be next to impossible to make the distance there and back without A) in flight refueling somewhere “safe” and not observed going in at least and probably coming back too, B) flying straight there and back at optimal cruise speed and altitude all the time within the view of numerous air search radars, C) getting permission from one or more Arab countries and US to look the other way and provide some sort of support for the mission. The worst case option flying the entire distance to the targets below radar coverage and back at what ever altitude the situation allowed is simply not possible with the platforms they have. What options does that leave?

Sub launched Cruise missiles, per the type we use all the time aren’t penetrators like that would be required. The effective range of what we have carrying a 2000 lb penetrator warhead is somewhat short given the likely launch points outside of Iran territory. At best 6-12 such missiles could be launched from Israeli subs in the Gulf….

What does that leave? One possible answer could be something in the line of a Pershing II type capability not made public. Said weapon both has the range, accuracy and payload to do the job assuming such a system exists and there were enough weapons to do the job. The current Iranian air defense system would have almost no capability against that kind of threat. We are talking about a country that supposedly has had nuclear weapons since the 70s and not once displayed an overt means to deliver such weapons beyond short range fighter bomber range. Do they have such a launch platform?

Well, short of the Israelis getting a whole lot of people in Arab and US occupied countries to look the other way with absolute secrecy maintained I just don’t see a 100 plane package of F-15 Strike Eagles and F-16Is doing anything other than being a diversion. Of course there are some other options that are more complex and risky but I’d leave that till another day.

The only thing I feel relatively certain about is if this happens, it won’t stop there and the aftermath will involve us rather we want to or not. From my perspective that would probably be appropriate since we both have the intel and capability but are just flapping our lips while the Israelis have serious “skin” in the game and we do not. It is simply not realistic to assume that a country that has been in an on again and off again state of war with its neighbors for 60 years now should just follow our “lead”. Particularly with the current lip flapper and chief. The Israelis don’t see any future in MAD thinking like those 8000 miles away from ground zero. No predictions here just a realistic view of a no win situation unfolding short of some ground breaking news out of Iran……

Nationally-coordinated actions on August 1 to say "U.S. Hands Off Iran!"

Stop War on Iran says: Clarity needed

Why the U.S. anti-war movement should stand firmly against any military attack, sanctions or demonization of Iran.

Endorse Volunteer or help organize an action in your area

U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden’s new public threat against Iran underlines the dangers of a new war in the Middle East and the desperate need for political clarity within the anti-war movement concerning Iran.

With his June 6 comments on ABC's This Week, Biden opened the door to a military attack when he said that the U.S. would not stand in the way of an Israeli strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, calling such an attack is Israel’s “sovereign right.” Israel, he said, was “free to do what it needed to do.”

The Geneva Conventions call it a war crime even to threaten to attack another state. This is not just rhetoric. Only with U.S. satellite, radar and the use of air space over U.S.-occupied Iraq could the Israeli bombing raid take place. Biden should be denounced as a war criminal for making such a reckless and dangerous encouragement of unprovoked war against Iran.

A U.S.-funded Israeli attack would immediately unleash a wider war. It would have catastrophic results for the whole Middle East and the Iranian people, even beyond what has already been done to the people of Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Palestine.

Biden’s new threat comes during a full corporate media offensive against Iran. Its timing should serve as an alert to the entire progressive and anti-war movement. U.S. aircraft carriers, destroyers, nuclear submarines, jet aircraft and drones clog the seas that wash up on Iranian shores.

Subversion, media lies target Tehran

In this dangerous war climate the entire U.S. and Western corporate media is again demonizing the Iranian government. It is using the media and well-funded, subversive organizations in a massive effort of destabilization and sabotage. Too often in the past this same combination of phony “human rights” organizations, who are given endless coverage in a corporate media frenzy, have helped to create a war climate through demonization, frauds and fabricated charges. This has happened before every U.S. attack or invasion, along with a concerted campaign of psychological warfare and internal destabilization in the target country.

One such organization leading this effort is the newly formed “United 4 Iran,” a fraudulent “left cover” for organizations funded by the U.S. government and big corporations. It is designed to use “human rights” and “democracy” to justify U.S. threats to attack Iran. This group has called phony “human rights” internationally coordinated protests for July 25.

United 4 Iran is a front for organizations awash in money from the National Endowment for Democracy, a CIA cover organization for intervention, subversion, covert action in countries around the world. These same groups are supported by funds from Rockefeller, Soros, and Mellon foundations.

It is telling that United 4 Iran makes NO mention of the U.S. wars currently ripping apart the entire region. Hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops along with an army of private military contractors and mercenaries have created havoc in Iraq, Afghanistan and now Pakistan. U.S. funds and equipment have supported Israeli occupation and war on Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. Nor does this group mention the decades of U.S. military encirclement, sanctions, sabotage, attempted and actual coups against the people of Iran.

If these organizations were genuinely concerned with democracy, human rights and respect for elections why have they not called emergency actions in defense and support of the democratic elections in Gaza? In Gaza there was a democratic election overseen by Western international monitors. Hamas won overwhelmingly. The U.S. funded Israeli response was blockade and starvation against an entire people. Thousands of Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli bombardment.

Why the movement must reject anti-Iran provocations -
UFPJ should withdraw suport of anti-Iran actions.

How we respond to these actions is a crucial question for the movement. Are we for another brutal U.S. war or against it?

It is profoundly disturbing that United for Peace and Justice UFPJ and other anti-war organizations have chosen to add their endorsement to these actions targeting the Iranian government. These anti-war groups should be in the forefront of opposing current U.S. wars and threats of wider war.

Stop War On Iran urges them and other honest anti-war forces to reconsider their endorsement of the anti-Iran actions.

Anti-war activists in the United States, while demanding an end to the occupations of Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine, have an additional responsibility to oppose any military moves by the Pentagon or its allies against Iran and to oppose any moves by the former colonial powers to weaken Iran’s sovereignty.

Why U.S. imperialism targets Iran

The U.S. imperialist wars through out the region are an effort by U.S. corporations to gain strategic domination of the vast oil and energy resources.

Since its 1979 revolution, Iran’s independence has been a thorn in the side of corporate billionaires in the U.S. and Britain and of the U.S.-funded Israeli settler state. When the Iranian people overthrew the brutal U.S.-backed shah dictatorship they finally regained control of their rich oil and gas resources. In 30 years time Iran developed industrially and vastly improved the educational and health level of the entire population.

Any intervention by the imperialist powers in Iran and any weakening of Iranian sovereignty will only diminish the rights of women, workers, and the access to democratic institutions there, just as it has happened in the rest of the region. Any intervention by the imperialists in Iran’s internal struggles is aimed either at aiding the side the imperialists see as more conciliatory to their plans, or to exacerbate the internal conflict in order to compromise and weaken the Iranian government.

U.S. wars don’t bring democracy

U.S. wars and occupations from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan have never brought democracy or human rights. They have brought only oppressive military dictatorships, massive refugee crises, torture and millions of deaths.

Also, we cannot forget that it is U.S. troops, military equipment, and bases that keep corrupt feudal anti-woman monarchies in power in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan, as well as the brutal dictatorship in Egypt.

The hypocrisy of U.S. politicians is staggering, as they condemn the actions of the Iranian government while sweeping their own crimes under the rug. Iran’s elections and disputes are an internal matter, to be resolved by the Iranian people and not the governments of imperialist countries with agendas of dominating Iran and a track record of using internal issues to justify military invasion.

Money for jobs and benefits, not for more war

In this time of global capitalist crisis, when millions are unemployed and millions more facing evictions and foreclosures, we must demand that the hundreds of billions of dollars spent on current U.S. wars and the trillions that would criminally wasted in a new war be spent for jobs, health care and housing for poor and working people in the U.S. and around the world.

We urge your endorsement and support of these simple demands.

We oppose military aggression by the U.S., Britain, or Israel against Iran.
We oppose economic, diplomatic or other sanctions against Iran whatever their excuse.
We demand an end to subversion, de-stabilization, covert actions instigated by the U.S. and its military or spy agencies directed at Iran.
I endorse these 3 demands

We urge you NOT to march in the anti-Iran event, which is designed to give humanitarian cover to U.S. threats of war against Iran. Instead, come out AGAINST current U.S. wars and the threats of a new war on the following week in a National Day of Coordinated Actions on Saturday, August 1.

Contact Stop War On Iran if you are interested in organizing or supporting an action opposing U.S. threats on Iran on Saturday, August 1.

Israeli Plot Against Iran Unveiled in Franklin Case (OSP-AIPAC spy)
Edited on Wed Jun-15-05 11:35 AM by leveymg
According to recent reports, the focus of the case against Larry Franklin is not merely a conventional spy case involving the passing of documents to a foreign agent. Instead, it appears that the OSP-AIPAC spy case is also about efforts by Israel to "cook the books" on Iranian WMDs, much as occurred earlier with planted false documents that led the Bush Administration to justify the March 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.

Details about the still sealed indictment against Franklin show that the FBI busted up what appears to be a plot by an Israeli intelligence officer and two AIPAC lobbyists to advance the career of Franklin, get him "by the elbow of the President", and to plant misleading information in Pentagon documents about Iran.

The following article in the New York Sun was linked yesterday in Laura Rozen's blog, WarandPiececom. Rozen is probably the best-informed spectator on the emerging spy case linking Bush neocons with the Israeli Embassy.

Details of a Plot Unveiled in Case Against Franklin
BY ELI LAKE - Staff Reporter of the Sun
June 14, 2005
URL: http://www.nysun.com/article/15374

WASHINGTON - An analyst for the Pentagon, Lawrence Franklin, conspired to funnel classified information to Israel during a series of meetings with two lobbyists for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and a top diplomat from the Israeli Embassy, according to a grand jury indictment that was unsealed yesterday.

The indictment says Mr. Franklin sought the help of a senior lobbyist for Aipac in getting a job at the National Security Council; that he enlisted the Israeli diplomat to write a letter for his daughter to ease her travels in the Middle East, and that he discussed with that diplomat weapons tests for a Middle Eastern country. Coffees were sipped, sandwiches purchased, and at one point the Israeli diplomat gave Mr. Franklin a gift card.

The grand jury's indictment charges Mr. Franklin, who has served as a desk officer on Iran at the Office of the Secretary of Defense, with six counts, including mishandling classified information, communicating defense information to individuals not authorized to receive it, and, most serious, "a conspiracy to communicate classified information to agent and representative of a foreign government, without specific authorization."

The FBI probe into Mr. Franklin and two Aipac lobbyists, Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman, has attracted considerable press attention since the story was leaked in August last year. In April, Aipac terminated the employment of Mr. Rosen, who served as the organization's director of foreign policy, and Mr. Weissman, who was one of Aipac's top Iran policy analysts.

The 20-page indictment filed initially on May 26, 2005, in the U.S. district court of Alexandria, Va., details meetings Mr. Franklin had with two unindicted co-conspirators, not named in the court document but widely known to be Messrs. Rosen and Weissman. The indictment also describes a series of meetings with a foreign official, also widely known to be the Israeli Embassy's chief political officer, Naor Gilon. Mr. Gilon remains to this day the embassy's point of contact with the Bush administration on Iran policy.

Despite a wealth of fresh details on the dates, times, and locations of those conversations, the indictment is vague on exactly what Mr. Franklin is alleged to have passed on to the Israelis and the lobbyists. For example, it refers to conversations about a "certain Middle Eastern country," widely known to be Iran. The indictment says that Mr. Franklin faxed one of the lobbyists a "classified appendix to the classified draft internal policy document defendant had previously discussed" with the two lobbyists.

One source familiar with the document described it as a "list of horribles about Iran. The sorts of things most people knew already, such as Iran's sponsorship of Hezbollah." Mr. Franklin's attorney last month said the document did not contain classified material.

The indictment states that Mr. Franklin tried to enlist Mr. Rosen's help in getting him a job at the National Security Council. Mr. Rosen, referred to as co-conspirator 1, said on February 14, 2003, that he would see what he could do to get Mr. Franklin a job "by the elbow of the president."

That incident stands out because Mr. Franklin's defenders have said that Mr. Franklin sought out the two Aipac lobbyists in order to get threat information to the White House.

The indictment also alleges that Mr. Gilon may have influenced Mr. Franklin's work. In a meeting on May 23, 2003, at the Pentagon Officer's Athletic Club, Messrs. Franklin and Gilon, who was referred to in the indictment as "FO," for foreign official, discussed European views on Iran - referred to as the "Middle Eastern country" - and its nuclear program. Following the meeting, the indictment says Mr. Franklin drafted an action memo to his superiors "incorporating suggestions made by the FO during the meeting."

All told, the indictment lists 14 times between August 15, 2002, and June 23, 2004, that Mr. Franklin met with Mr. Gilon. The frequency of the meetings and phone calls suggests that Mr. Franklin did not need Messrs. Rosen and Weissman to reach the government of Israel.

Who leaked the details of a CIA-Mossad plot against Iran?

The Bush administration is prolonging the hunting season against journalists. The latest victim is James Risen, The New York Times reporter for national security and intelligence affairs. About three months ago, a federal grand jury issued a subpoena against him, ordering Risen to give evidence in court. A heavy blackout has been imposed on the affair, with the only hint being that it has to do with sensitive matters of "national security."

But conversations with several sources who are familiar with the affair indicate that Risen has been asked to testify as part of an investigation aimed at revealing who leaked apparently confidential information about the planning of secret Central Intelligence Agency and Mossad missions concerning Iran's nuclear program.

Risen included this information in his book, "State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration," which was published in 2006. In the book, he discusses a number of ideas which he says were thought up jointly by CIA and Mossad operatives to sabotage Iran's nuclear capabilities.

One of these ideas was to build electromagnetic devices, smuggling them inside Iran to sabotage electricity lines leading to the country's central nuclear sites. According to the plan, the operation was supposed to cause a series of chain reactions which would damage extremely powerful short circuits in the electrical supply that would have led to failures of the super computers of Iran's nuclear sites.

According to the book, the Mossad planners proposed that they would be responsible for getting the electromagnetic facilities into Iran with the aid of their agents in Iran. However, a series of technical problems prevented the plan's execution.

Another of the book's important revelations, which made the administration's blood boil about James Risen, appeared in a chapter describing what was known as Operation Merlin, the code name for another CIA operation supposed to penetrate the heart of Iran's nuclear activity, collect information about it and eventually disrupt it.

Operation Merlin

The CIA counter proliferation department hired a Soviet nuclear engineer who had previously, in the 1990s, defected to the United States and revealed secrets from the Soviet Union's nuclear program. His speciality was in the field of what is called weaponization, the final stage of assembling a nuclear bomb.

The scientist was equipped with blueprints for assembling a nuclear bomb in which, without his knowledge, false drawings and information blueprints were planted about a nuclear warhead that was supposedly manufactured in the Soviet Union. The plan's details had been fabricated by CIA experts, and so while they appeared authentic, they had no engineering or technological value.

The intention was to fool the scientist and send him to make contact with the Iranians to whom he would offer his services and blueprints. The American plot was aimed at getting the Iranians to invest a great deal of effort in studying the plans and to attempt to assemble a faulty warhead. But when the time came, they would not have a nuclear bomb but rather a dud.

However, Operation Merlin, which was so creative and original, failed because of CIA bungled planning. The false information inserted into the blueprints were too obvious and too easily detected and the Russian engineer discovered them. As planned, he made contact with the Iranian delegation to the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna and handed over to them, also as planned, the blueprints.

But contrary to the CIA's intention, he added a letter to the blueprints in which he pointed out the mistakes. He did not do this with ill intent or out of a desire to disrupt the operation and harm his operators. On the contrary, he did so out of a deep sense of mission and in order to satisfy his American operators. He hoped that in this way he would simply increase the Iranians' trust in him and encourage them to make contact with him for the good, of course, of his American operators.

The result was disastrous. Not only did the CIA fail to prevent the Iranians in their efforts to enhance their nuclear program, this operation may also have made it possible for them to get their hands on a plan for assembling a nuclear warhead.

Freedom of the press

In Israel, military censorship would have prevented the publication of details such as these. But in the U.S., where the principle of freedom of the press is sacred and anchored in the constitution, there is no compulsory and binding censorship. There is, however, an expectation there that the press will show responsibility. This expectation has increased in recent years, particularly with the conservative Bush administration and in the wake of the events of September 11, 2001 and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Risen is not the first journalist to have been subpoenaed to give evidence before a grand jury and reveal his sources. According to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, some 65 journalists have been summoned for such investigations since 2001. Some agreed, cooperated and testified. Most refused, so that they would not have to reveal their sources. In this way, they exposed themselves to being charged with contempt of court.

There were some who even preferred to be jailed so long as they were not forced to reveal their source. The best-known case was that of Judith Miller, another New York Times writer. The background to her 85-day imprisonment was her refusal to reveal who had leaked the name of Valerie Plame, a CIA agent, to the media. (The man responsible for the leak was Lewis "Scooter" Libby, a senior aide to Vice President Dick Cheney. Libby was sentenced to 30 months imprisonment but was pardoned by President Bush.)

"It is true that there is tension between the Bush administration and the media," says Steve Aftergood, director of the Project on Government Secrecy on behalf of the Federation of American Scientists, an independent body which aims at analyzing the activities of government with a critical eye, "but I would not go so far as to say that the administration is waging war against the media."

In Aftergood's assessment, the danger to the freedom of the press comes rather from private citizens and organizations, those who feel themselves harmed by journalistic publications and commentators and who would therefore like to limit the press' freedom. The most conspicuous of these is Gabriel Schoenfeld, a senior editor at Commentary, who believes that liberal newspapers like The New York Times are not sufficiently patriotic. In his articles and in testimony before a Senate committee that discussed the issue, Schoenfeld claimed that

The New York Times reporters had revealed confidential material that weakened America's struggle against Al-Qaida. He calls for relinquishing the soft approach which he says the administration has taken against journalists in whose publications, in his opinion, America's security is harmed.

There are many others who take the opposite approach and believe that the right of journalists to keep their sources secret should be anchored in law. Two Congressmen, the Republican Mike Pence, and Rick Boucher, a Democrat, have proposed legislation to this effect - a law for the free flow of information. The House of Representatives has already approved their proposal but the legislation is being held up in the Senate, to the displeasure of the American Civil Liberties Union.

On the face of it, this is a sensitive issue that is intended to draw the lines between the freedom of information, freedom of the media, and the public's right to know, against the right of a democracy to defend itself against enemies that are not democratic. But James Risen has no doubt that the correct and just moral act on his part has to be to defend his sources, even if this means he will lose his freedom.

The next test case in the U.S. concerning the freedom of the press could be of even greater interest to Israel. It is connected to next month's trial of two former senior American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) employees, Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman, who have been charged with crimes based on an old First World War anti-espionage law, which has hardly ever been put into practice since.

The indictment states that they obtained confidential information from officials at the Pentagon and transferred it, inter alia, to Israeli diplomats and journalists. A number of American journalists have already been investigated by the CIA in connection to this, and it is possible that they will be called to give evidence incriminating the two senior AIPAC officials.

Fight for your country| 7.31.09 @ 8:32PM

The time has cime when one has seen over a million people killed in Iraq, 1400 killed in Gaza, 3.6Million as refugees.

In Pakistan they have drones killing innocent people in their hundreds every day. In Afghanistan thousands per week. And now they want to invade Iran, how many dead do we see? it's in its millions. It's far wiser for a million people who would other wise die fight to stop the crimes against their people.
Kill the Israelis if you have to don't die a woorthless death, because they will keep doing it, kill you because they can. Invade break down gates and barriers to survive, if you have to die fight defending your people.

Where ever these phoney Jews came from send them back to Germany let them put up with them.

Tears ago I felt sorry for the Jews, now I am thankfull I have kearnt about these evil criminals who try to cover their past because they are a fraud.

I am one of the lucky ones who have discovered who these criminals are, from the Rothchild to the Rockerfella all of them Jewish criminals.

The FED another fraud against the American people. AIPAC where they have taken over America using bribes lies and crimes against the American people.

I am convinced the rest of America will wake up and runn these people back to Germany and Russia where they came from, for a start they are not Jewish at all.

Goyms need to read the TORA| 7.31.09 @ 9:07PM

How these liars have covered up their past is by gain of the feelings of honest caring people. No one can discuss their past, because they have so much to hide.

They play on the kindness of ordinary people they call GOYOIMs pigs and dogs, ordinary Americans and none Jew.

I am thankful that I have come to know why they have the ADL to cover up their crimes against the very people who saved them, and risked their lives for them.

Since then they have murdered Millions of none Jews, and continue to fool Americans and others around the world, plus kiling their children.

Many of children Kidnapped world wide is killed by Jewish people. And the Government cover for them in fear of a Back Lash.

People need to take charge of their own lives.

All
IF and this is not a Big IF, but must be said.
IF Israel quietly goes about the business of destroying Irans nuclear facilities, it will come as an UNKNOWN thunder clap to the MSM of the USA. Fake?, you bet. The MSM will condemn, wring hands, whine and demise Israel. The OBNA will claim, " We didn't Know" and send Hillary off to pick up the pieces.
BOO shaw BS.
Israel, the US DOD and the Centcom folks have thier fingers on the pulse of Iran's Nuclear plant. The timing is the only question left. Methods, planning, routes, recovery, all done.
IF this happens, stand by for a vigourous Missile response from Iran. This is their only true means of hurting any aggressor. Stand by for small boat action in the straits of hormuz and a rise UNPRECEDENTED in $$ of oil per gallon.
Watch your six folks the clock is ticking.

Ergo...Obama will NOT choose to intervene in the Gulf because the economic crisis created by Iran's actions would facilitate ALL of Obama's plans to make the American people cry out for government 'help'. "Let no good crisis go to waste" as the administration mantra goes.
My Opine on the above quote:
CORRECT, on the MONEY.!!
The OBNA's agenda and/ or goal is the demise of the USA Productivity. What better way to withdraw from the Global conflicts, center on domestic policy, control the USA Electorate and implement the 60 year angst driven elitism he espouses.
This type of Oil shut down, price rise, external conflict, is just the right mix for the implementation of the USA 3rd world domestic state.
G.. help us.

War is Jewish Christmas| 8.1.09 @ 1:29PM

The history of the Jews is written in the blood of Christians.

"Thanks to the terrible power of our International Banks, we have forced the Christians into wars without number. Wars have a special value for Jews, since Christians massacre each other and make more room for us Jews. Wars are the Jews' Harvest: The Jew banks grow fat on Christian wars. Over 100-million Christians have been swept off the face of the earth by wars, and the end is not yet." (Rabbi Reichorn, speaking at the funeral of Grand Rabbi Simeon Ben-Judah, 1869, Henry Ford also noted that: 'It was a Jew who said, 'Wars are the Jews' harvest'; but no harvest is so rich as civil wars.' The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem, Vol. III, p. 180)

The history of the Jews is written with Christian blood. Their history proves that the Jew is extremely cruel and at the same time a coward. The Jew is not a born soldier; he is a born sadist and murderer. (John 8:44)

Psalm 44:22| 8.1.09 @ 1:50PM

"Further there is a Law concerning the slaughter of foreigners, who are the same as beasts. This slaughter is to be carried out in a lawfully valid manner. The ones who do not follow the Jewish Religious Law have to be offered to God as a sacrifice. It is to them that Psalm 44:22 refers: ?Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter." (Thikunne Sohar, edition Berdiwetsch 88b)

Talmud in Non Jews| 8.1.09 @ 1:54PM

He may rape and murder them. There are hundreds of passages in the Talmud which the non-jews are described as animals. Some of them are as follows:

1). "The Jews are called human beings, but the non-Jews are not humans. They are beasts." (Talmud: Baba Mezia 114b)

2). "The Akum (Negro) is like a dog. Yes, the scripture teaches to honor the dog more than the Akum." (Ereget Raschi Erod. 22
30)

3). "Even though God created the non-Jew they are still animals in human form. It is not becoming for a Jew to be served by an
animal. Therefore he will be served by animals in human form." (Midrasch Talpioth, p. 255, Warsaw 1855)

4). "A pregnant non-Jew is no better than a pregnant animal." (Coschen Hamischpat 405)

5). "The souls of non-Jews come from impure spirits and are called pigs." (Jalkut Rubeni gadol 12b)

6). "Although the non-Jew has the same body structure as the Jew, they compare with the Jew like a monkey to a human." (Schene
Luchoth Haberith, p. 250b)

So that the Jew will never forget that he is dealing with animals, he is reminded by eating, by death, and even by sexual intercourse constantly. For The Talmud teaches:

1). "If you eat with a non-Jew, it is the same as eating with a dog." (Tosapoth, Jebamoth 94b)

2). "If a Jew has a non-Jewish servant of maid who dies, one should not express sympathy to the Jew. You should tell to the Jew:
?God will replace ?your loss,' just as if one of his oxen or asses had died." (Jore Dea 377, 1)

3). "Sexual intercoms between non-Jews is like intercourse between animals." (Sanhedrin 74b)

It is written in the Talmud about the murder of the non-Jew:

1). "It is permitted to take the body and the life of a non-Jew." (Sepher Ikkarim IIIc, 25)

2). "It is the law to kill anyone who denies the Torah (Talmud - Sanhedrin 59b). The Christians
belong to the denying ones of the Torah (Talmud)." (Coschen Hamischpat 425, Hagah 425, 5)

3). "Every Jew, who spills the blood of the godless (non-Jew), is doing the same as making a sacrifice to God." (Bammidber Raba, c 21 & Jalkut 772)

These laws of the Talmud were given to the Jews over 3000 years ago. They are just as valid today as they were back then. This is how the Jews are taught from childhood. The results of this stands before us. It is Jewish Ritual Murder.

History Jews don't want public| 8.1.09 @ 1:59PM

Jeschichte XVIII, 32)

The Jews revolted in Russia in 1917 and established bolshevism under the leadership of Trotsky, Sinojeff and other Jews, a total of 35 million Christians were shot, slayed, tortured, and starved to death. In Hungary, under the leadership of the Bolshevik Jew Bela Kuhn, a horrible massacre was prepared in which tens of thousands of Christians were murdered.

"'The Jewish Establishment": 'In the early 1930s, Walter Duranty of the New York Times was in Moscow, covering Joe Stalin the way Joe Stalin wanted to be covered. To maintain favor and access, he expressly denied that there was famine in Ukraine even while millions of Ukrainian Christians were being starved into submission. For his work Duranty won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism. To this day, the Times remains the most magisterial and respectable of American newspapers. How imagine that a major newspaper had had a correspondent in Berlin during roughly the same period who hobnobbed with Hitler, portrayed him in a flattering light, and denied that Jews were being mistreated, thereby not only concealing, but materially assisting the regime's persecution. Would that paper's respectability have been unimpaired several decades later? There you have an epitome of what is lamely called 'media bias.' The Western supporters of Stalin haven't just been excused; they have received the halo of victim hood for the campaign, in what liberals call 'the McCarthy era,' to get them out of the government, the education system, and respectable society itself. Not only persecution of Jews but any critical mention of Jewish power in the media and politics is roundly condemned as 'anti-Semitism.' But there isn't even a term of opprobrium for participation in the mass murders of Christians. Liberals still don't censure the Communist attempt to extirpate Christianity from Soviet Russia and its empire, and for good reason, liberals themselves, particularly Jewish liberals, are still trying to uproot Christianity from America. It's permissible to discuss the power of every other group, from the Black Muslims to the Christian Right, but the much greater power of the Jewish establishment is off-limits. That, in fact, is the chief measure of its power: its ability to impose its own taboos while tearing down the taboos of others, you might almost say its prerogative of offending. You can read articles in Jewish-controlled publications from the Times to Commentary blaming Christianity for the Holocaust or accusing Pope Pius XII of indifference to it, but don't look for articles in any major publication that wants to stay in business examining the Jewish role in Communism and liberalism, however temperately." (The Jewish Establishment, Joseph Sobran, September 1995 issue)

In Jewish-Bolshevik Soviet Russia mass murders are even now (1997) are being carried out. The executioners are mostly Jewish men and women. In inventing new methods of torture the Jews are past masters. To let Christians die under torture give them the greatest pleasure. English reporters write that the Chinese executioners frequently would not carry out their tortures and executions; they shouldered and could not continue. Therefore, Jews and Jewesses took their place.

"The Jews were now free to indulge in their most fervent fantasies of mass murder of helpless victims. Christians were dragged from their beds, tortured and killed. Some were actually sliced to pieces, bit by bit, while others were branded with hot irons, their eyes poked out to induce unbearable pain. Others were placed in boxes with only their heads, hands and legs sticking out. Then hungry rats were placed in the boxes to gnaw upon their bodies. Some were nailed to the ceiling by their fingers or by their feet, and left hanging until they died of exhaustion. Others were chained to the floor and left hanging until they died of exhaustion.

"Others were chained to the floor and hot lead poured into their mouths. Many were tied to horses and dragged through the streets of the city, while Jewish mobs attacked them with rocks and kicked them to death. Christian mothers were taken to the public square and their babies snatched from their arms. A red Jewish terrorist would take the baby, hold it by the feet, head downward and demand that the Christian mother deny Christ. If she would not, he would toss the baby into the air, and another member of the mob would rush forward and catch it on the tip of his bayonet.

"Pregnant Christian women were chained to trees and their babies cut out of their bodies. There were many places of public execution in Russia during the days of the revolution, one of which was described by the American Rohrbach Commission: 'The whole cement floor of the execution hall of the Jewish Cheka of Kiev was flooded with blood; it formed a level of several inches. It was a horrible mixture of blood, brains and pieces of skull. All the walls were bespattered with blood. Pieces of brains and of scalps were sticking to them. A gutter of 25 centimeters wide by 25 centimeters deep and about 10 meters long was along its length full to the top with blood. Some bodies were disemboweled, others had limbs chopped off, some were literally hacked to pieces. Some had their eyes put out, the head, face and neck and trunk were covered with deep wounds. Further on, we found a corpse with a wedge driven into its chest. Some had no tongues. In a corner we discovered a quantity of dismembered arms and legs belonging to no bodies that we could locate.'" (Defender Magazine, October 1933)

The history of the Jews is written in the blood of Christians.

Wars jewish Ritual killings| 8.1.09 @ 2:32PM

Jewish Human Sacrifice

The ancient Khazar Jews along with other of that Near East era followed a common custom of human sacrifice. The practice was to burn a young person upon an altar called a Tophet. The Old Testament of the Bible mentions this practice and condemns it. Around the Tophet altar, drums would be beaten loudly to drown out the cries of the children being burned alive. In the days of Ancient Israel the Priests of Baal would blow trumpets to drown out their screams. The Carthaginians also were worshipers of Baal and sacrificed children on a massive scale. When faced with defeat in Syracuse in 310 B.C., they cast the sons of 500 nobles into a fiery pit, or Tophet, from a scaffold shaped in the likeness of the god Baal.

In Excavations at Gezer, the archeologist R.A.S. Macalister notes that the bodies of sacrificed young children are found in every strata of Jewish remains from the earliest times.

Photographs of the children's bodies are published in Macalister's book, although the book itself, like most works which attest to the criminal nature of the Jews, is now almost unobtainable. It is classified as a rare book, and most rare book dealers are Jews.

In the Bible, Isaiah 57:3-5 the prophet, talking of the Jews of his day says:

"But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore. Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood, Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?"

By the phrase, "ye sons of the sorceress," Isaiah calls attention to the fact that Jewish ritual murder is a black magic rite. It is customary for the rabbi, as he drinks blood, to invoke the presence of Satan, who will then presumably carry out the wishes of the Jews. The drinkers of blood also swear eternal obedience to Satan during the blood rite.

Isaiah also calls attention to the fact that here the children are slain "under the cleft of the rocks." This refers to the Jewish ban against burying the slain gentile child, and to hiding the body in the rocks in the hopes that the gentiles will not discover their crime.

The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. VIII, page 653, published in 1904, says,

Circumcision Blood sacrifice| 8.1.09 @ 3:03PM

German, Gerhart Hauptmann, and convicted him of the killing. Symbolically, Hauptmann, like Christ, was also a carpenter, a profession which made him a logical victim for the Jews.

Hauptmann's defense was that a Jew named Isidor Fisch had hired him to do some carpenter work, and had paid him with the bills which proved to be from the Lindbergh ransom money. Although the existence of Fisch was proven, he could not be located during the trial. The court was like the one which had convicted Jesus, for it only accepted evidence which the Jews allowed to be presented. In reality, of course, one cannot believe anything which is accepted as evidence in an American court, due to the facility of the Jews for manufacturing evidence and due to the prevalence of Jewish lawyers and judges in all American court rooms. This was also the first of many efforts of the Jews to vilify the Germans so that America would be more easily deceived into fighting a Jew's war.

A book entitled The Jew, the Gypsy, and El Islam, indicates that the Talmudic god of the Jews [Not the God of Christians] is a blood loving god:

"The Talmud declares that there are two kinds of blood pleasing to the lord, viz: (1) that of Paschal holocaust [Easter sacrifice & the Feast of Purim]; (2) that of circumcision."

According to The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1903, Vol. IV., p. 90, when performing the operation of circumcision on children, the mohel (Jewish Rabbi who does the circumcision):

"takes some wine in his mouth and applies his lips to the part involved in the operation, and exerts suction, after which he expels the mixture of wine and blood into a receptacle provided."

Among the Jews themselves, the blood rite is an integral part of the ceremony of circumcising Jewish males. According to The Jewish Encyclopedia, Vol. VI, page 99, when performing the circumcision, the mohel, or circumciser,

"takes some wine in his mouth and applies his lips to the part involved in the operation and exerts suction, after which he expels the mixture of wine and blood into a receptacle provided."

What The Jewish Encyclopedia does not tell us is that this mixture of wine and blood is then drunk by the rabbi, as a great delicacy. No other people in the world today enacts such a weird blood rite, save, perhaps, some Stone-Age natives in the deepest jungles of the Congo or New Guinea. Hatred of Christianity is a tradition among the Jews. One of the principle feast-days is that of Purim. This feast is an orgy of hate against Haman, the story of whom is found in the Book of Esther of the Old Testament, the only Jewish book in the entire Bible

History of the Jews| 8.1.09 @ 3:24PM

At one time or another the Jews have been expelled from every country in Europe. And in almost every case it was over the charge of Ritual Murder. The most objective book on this subject available is "Jewish Ritual Murder" by Arnold Leese is available from The Truth At Last, P.O. Box 1211, Marietta, Georgia 30061, for $3.50 per copy

S.L. Toddard| 8.1.09 @ 6:14PM

"But Israel does not consider itself bound by American long-range assessments, nor has the President won its trust."

Then President Obama should withhold Israel's yearly $3 billion welfare check until they learn to show respect for their benefactor. It is not seemly for an American dependency to mistrust America, especially while the hard earned dollars of American citizens are confiscated and sent to the other side of the world to pay for Israel's walls and guns.

If Israel is earnest and chooses to strike out on her own then I say let her spread her wings and fly from the nest, unencumbered by the many strings attached to the billions and billions of dollars Americans earn but Israel spends. Let Israel shut off that pipeline of largesse that flows ceaselessly into its coffers, shed the ragged mantle of the beggar, stand on her own two feet at last and make her own way in the world without American economic or political intervention.

Free Israel, I say!

Or, if Israel wishes to continue to feast in the trough of American largesse, then she should learn her place and in act accordance with the wishes of that benefactor nation whose charity Israel has for so long taken for granted.

It is a sad day when one is forced to recognize the evil that festers in our especies. Maybe the world will never be a better place "per se," but some of us would be very happy by the destruction of the Muslims. In this comming fight, as always I would back the Jews, if for no other reason than than the hatred that I read from the comments here exposed. Someone had the audacity to mention Islam as a worthy culture, and that comment may go unchallanged or ignored by most, but I must say that it is a self perpetuating lie that may fly among the naive and ignorant. As for American Jews having voted for Obama (80%), I think that their Socialist/Pregresive roots are stronger than there love for righteous Israel. It is so sad.

Drawing America and the Christian world into wars in the ME, is their way of killing Christians, while making a fortune selling weaponds, and Government borrow from Banks to pay for the wars and soldiers lose their life.

"Jesus is in hell where His punishment is "boiling in hot semen." - Talmud: Gittin 57a

A familiar quote, though of course not of the Talmud, it's a deliberate misquote/fabrication. The real quote of this Gittin passage is:

"[Onkelos Bar Kalonikus] called up Balaam from the dead. [Onkelos] asked: Who is honored in that world? [Balaam] replied: Israel. [Onkelos asked:] What about joining them? [Balaam] replied: (Deut. 23:7) "You shall not seek their peace or welfare all your days." [Onkelos] asked: What is your punishment? [Balaam answered]: In boiling semen.
[Onkelos] called up Yeshu from the dead. [Onkelos] asked: Who is honored in that world? [Yeshu] replied: Israel. [Onkelos asked:] What about joining them? [Yeshu] replied: Seek their good. Do not seek their bad. Whoever touches them is as if he touched the pupil of his eye. [Onkelos] asked: What is your punishment? [Yeshu answered]: In boiling excrement. As the mast said: Whoever mocks the words of the sages in punished in boiling excrement."

Jewish Killer Slaughters Dozens of Cats in Suspected Ritual

It's been researched.| 8.2.09 @ 2:51PM

Those people who say that iran should be turned to glass should be careful what you ask for.
Many people either have not researched the history of U,S involvement in iran or are just too set in their ways to do so.

In 1953 the United states and Britain worked together to orchestrate a coup to have the (DEMOCRATICALLY) elected leader of Iran removed from power simply because he chose not to give the west cheap oil at a price that the west wanted to pay. Just as soon as the democratically (ELECTED) leader of Iran was driven from power, the U,S and british governments installed a ruthless SOB into power called the Shaw of Iran.
The shaw of Iran abused and murdered anyone who dissagreed with his undemocratic form of rulership, but the U,S and britain didn't care because they were getting cheap oil from the SHAW OF IRAN and that's all that mattered. In 1979 the Irainian people got tired of being butchered by the U,S and british installed dictator so they removed his sorry a$$ from power, but, shortly before that happened, the french, with the bressing of the U,S and the british governments installed the one and only Nuclear reactor that the Iranians have ever owned. (OOOPS,THAT'S THE SAME REACTOR THAT ISRAEL NOW WANTS TO START WWIII OVER BY DESTROYING IT).
Shortly after the Irainians removed the U,S and british backed shaw, Saddamn hussein, (REMEMBER HIM?) another american and british backed butcher made the decision to attack the much better armed Iranian military and guess who came running to their old buddy Saddams aid when it became apparent that saddamn and Iraq bit off much more than he could chew? Thats right, the United states and british governments. Now keep in mind that Saddamn marched dozens of his nations cabinet members who dissagreed with his takeover tactics of the iraqi government, out into the courtyard and had them executed on camera for the whole world to witness. After he did this, donald rumnsfeld was immediately dispatched to Iraq to shake hands with saddamn and give him massive amounts of weapons to be used against Iran. So, not only did Iraq attack Iran just as they would later do to Kuwait, Iraq attacked Iran with the blessing and the backing of the U,S and british governments. Itseems that the U,S government doesn't miss an oportunity to attack Iran when ever possible.

Everyone is certainly entitled to make any comment that they want and support which ever side that they choose but before you embrace the idea of turning a country to glass and quite possibly starting WWIII, At the very least do some research into many of the behind the scenes political manipulations that started us down this road to certain annihilation and massive human misery and death. This coming war with Iran did not start yesterday or ten years ago. It started decades ago with the United states and british governments manipulating the internal government affairs of the democratic election process that the Irainians had in place many decades in the past. The united states and british governments took democracy apart in Iran and replaced it with anarchy. Now Iran is fighting back against the west and the west is trying to manipulate the internal workings of the sovereign nation of Iran Again.
Lets also not forge that the United states has accused Iran of conceiling a nucleaur weapons program, Yet, Israel has never confirmed or denied the existence of their nuclear weapons program and the United States government has never demanded that they do so even when it is a well known fact that Israel has in excess of 200 thermo nuclear weapons capable of destroying the entire middle east and possibly much, much more.............This is just one mans well researched opinions. Do some research folks before you beat drum for war against Iran.

I strongly agree with what you said. America is moving towards Fascism, along with Israel which is a Fascist State.

I am always surprised, by how much people want war, like a bunch of blood thirsty mad people, spendind billions they don't have or can afford.

I wonder what will eventually happen to America, will it be taken over by Israel, or sorry I forgot it's already taken over.

It's been researched| 8.2.09 @ 5:23PM

AIPAC runs America. I am happy to see that others like yourself have seen this coming war from a different perspective. I don't know if most of these people who are pushing for war actually realize what it is that they are hoping for. Iran is a sovereign nation who has done nothing more than defend themselves from aggressors since 1953. (That is a fact for people who wish to defend the united states governments meddling). The united states government has been jabbing sovereign nations in the side for a very long time.

It seems that if a countries policies disagree with the needs or the desires of the united states government, that country will soon find themselves as a target for total destruction, massive butchering and an eventual takeover of their form of government.

Sooner or later nuclear war will be brought to our shores (BECAUSE) of the united states governments policies of interfering with the private internal affairs of sovereign nations. Unfortunately many people who disagree with the united states governments meddling into the internal affairs of sovereign nations will end up paying the ultimate price for the U,S governments bad policies.

Anyone who disagrees with the united states government is subject to their aggressions and murder.

The the beautiful and talented people of high and ancient culture in Iran do not wish for war any more than you and me! They should be helped by the entire world to get rid of the criminals in their governments. They must not be threatened with weapons; do not forget that nuclear dust sent high in the air kills indiscriminately.

We have been hearing this same "Israel is about to attach" crock of bs for 5 years now. ISRAEL WILL NOT ATTACK IRAN. Trust me. They want us to do it and are trying bluff into getting their way, like the spoiled little brats they are.

The only way they can take out Iran is to use the NUKES THEY ALREADY HAVE. They won't do that.

It's all bluster. Any student of history with some knowledge of the military could tell you that.

Listen up, Jew-haters:

"Thus says the Lord, Who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; The Lord of hosts is His name: If this fixed order departs from before Me, declares the Lord, then the offspring of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me forever. Thus says the Lord, If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out below, then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel for all that they have done, declares the Lord..." -- Jeremiah 31:35-37.

That is only one set of biblical verses that spell out God's land grant of Israel to His Jewish people. Does the sea still have waves? Then Israel is still a nation before Him. Do the sun, the moon and the stars still shine? Then God still keeps His promises to His Jewish people.

And nothing you Jew-haters can do will ever thwart His plans. You're just digging your own hole deeper and deeper.

Read the Bible| 8.3.09 @ 7:45PM

What does the Bible say, John 8 verse 44, no one hates Jews Jews hate Gentiles.

TheyWill soon SacrificeYou too| 8.3.09 @ 7:51PM

Fool who do you think wrote the Bible to suit themselve and get some free land the same theivng Jews that has just Bankrupted the wqhole of America.

They did the same thing in Europe too, it's in their Genes.

They will soon sacrifice your ass to MOLEC.

Hell on earth in Iran| 8.3.09 @ 8:53PM

It's been researched

I do not support war in the Middle East, for a start the people of the ME did not ask for these Ashkenazi Jews in their part of the world it was inflicted on them.

As one British Historian put it the 2nd world war never ended it was transported to the ME.

I hate what they are doing to the people of Palestine, it's absolutely disgraceful, these people are so inhumaine, I never knew their history or anything much about them, I was wondering how a people who complain about the Holocaust, can comit such crimes against humanity.

Reading their history made me more aware of who these people are and why they have the ADL to prevent people knowing about them or discuss them. It seemed odd to me that every other race on earth can be discussed, but not these people, then I realised it was their past was so disgusting, is the reason they wanted it covered up and they use the media which they own to cover the facts.

They are making plans to destroy Nigeria, giving them their old weapons for oil, so they can kill oneanother like savages. Divide and rule, the rest is history.

They will attack Iran, it could result in the death of over 3 Million Arabs, and many people from Nuclear disease such as cancer as far away as India. I am afraid these people are monsters, and they are using the Americans to do the killings, that is the shame of it and the people are too stupid to know any better.

Nah, Molech won't be interested in my ass. He'll be having too much fun chewing on yours forever -- yours and Hitler's. Have a nice eternity together. You deserve each other.

You people never fail to make me laugh, who mentioned Hitler, you did. To point out Historical facts is not hating anyone and doen not make some one antisemetic, moreover the Palestinians are Semetic, do you care for them or do you just murder them?

I think you have more chance of going to your invented hell, than anyone else.

Lets look at ourselves?| 8.3.09 @ 10:39PM

I would be against the Holocaust, the same as I am against the Holocaust of the people of Gaza. The Holocaust of the people of Iraq. I do not contrive that Religion is a reason to mass murder anyone.

We claim to be civilized, but in truth man is no better than wild animals, because animals kill to survive for food man is killing under Christianity for sport and bits of paper called money, the Jews do the same the Muslims do the same.

Then there is politics they kill over that too. I am not like any of you, I know people will always find escuses to kill one another and write in to justify their crimes against humanity, and speak about the Bible, do me a god dam favour you bunch of hypocrits.

If the fascist and communist nations disarmed, there would be world peace. If the free world disarmed, there would be no free world.

KyMouse| 8.5.09 @ 7:25PM

I realize that the people who need to read this won't do so, but I'll say it anyway: John 8:44, to which one Jew-hater here refered, must be read in context. Jesus is NOT saying that all Jews are the children of the devil; He was speaking at that particular time to a group of Jews who were deliberately trying to trap Him, and who refused to consider His claims about Himself in light of the Tenach (the Old Testament).

To anyone with an ounce of sense, it is clear that Jesus did NOT consider His Jewish followers, and there were many of them, to be children of Satan. He dearly loved Kefa (Peter), Mattityahu (Matthew), Yochanan (John), Y'hudah (Jude), Ya'akov (James), Sha'ul (Paul), and countless other Jews who put their faith in him.

There is a small but growing number of "Jews for Jesus" in our own day. In the past 100 years or so, they have included British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli, composer Felix Mendelssohn (who wrote the music to "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing," and planetary astronomer William Herschel.

As I said, however, nothing will get through to the Jew-haters here, who truly ARE the children of their father, Satan.

UGG boots

I was a staunch ugg boot hater for years. Until the cold NZ winters got to be too much for me and I bought a pink

pair from No. Shoes.
I know pink is possibly the worst and trashiest uggboot colour there is.
I would hang my head in shame, but they are just so warm and comfy!

Would never wear them in public though!
