			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="4" face="Andalus"></p>
<p align="justify"><span id="more-56"></span>When the scandal involving New York Governor Elliot Spitzer and his tryst with a $5,000-a-night prostitute named ‘Kristen’ was injected like an informational narcotic into the American consciousness the 2<sup>nd</sup> week of March, most people merely chalked it up as yet one more corrupt politician caught with his pants down, no pun intended. The theme of a moralizing, self-righteous politico pointing his finger into a news camera and Pharisaically grandstanding to the rest of the world while on the sly he was busying himself with the very business he was tasked with destroying is almost as old as the oldest profession itself.</p>
<p align="justify">However, information surrounding this case indicates there is much more to it than simply issues of hypocrisy and infidelity, although they certainly play a part. And once again&#8211;surprise, surprise&#8211;what it reveals is the hidden hand of that troublesome little experiment in Jewish self-rule violently nestled on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean known as the state of Israel.</p>
<p align="justify">In the first case, only a fool would assume the case involving Spitzer’s infidelity was some isolated, not-all-too-common thing. Realistic persons can assume (rightly) that American political figures are as rare at businesses offering peddling flesh as gravediggers are at graveyards. It is a fact that with political power comes the perception of invincibility and untouchability, where problems ‘get fixed’, dirt is swept under the rug and everything is ‘taken care of’.</p>
<p align="justify">That being said, let us begin with exhibit A&#8211;As it turns out the owner of the now-infamous <i>Emperor’s VIP Club</i> providing ‘services’ to Spitzer was operated by one Mark Michael Brener, an Israeli national who, when arrested, was in possession of two Israeli passports and a ton of cash. The connection between the state of Israel and the international trafficking of pornography, prostitution, and (if it can be believed) the sex slave business (that up until recently was legal in the Jewish state, provided the slave in question was not Jewish) is a well-founded fact. Gangsters from the ‘Russian Mafiya’ (which Jewish American writer Robert Friedman ‘outed’ as being not as much Russian as Jewish) have made Israel their home away from home in running their international operations and enjoy close ties with Israel’s intelligence service Mossad. In both his books <i>‘By Way Of Deception’ </i>and <i>‘The Other Side of Deception’</i> former Israeli intelligence officer Victor Ostrovsky details how one of Mossad’s primary functions was (is) entrapping important persons involved in politics, business, media and whatnot into compromising and embarrassing positions so as to make them more ‘pliable’ to the demands of the Jewish state. The fact that the Emperor’s Club was operating on an international basis indicates that more than likely it was connected with powerful forces (re, the intelligence services of a foreign country) that could offer it protection and cover. In short, the ‘escort service’ most likely served a dual role as a blackmailing operation for America’s power elite, and given the fact that Spitzer is Jewish and that it was an ‘Israeli shop’ indicates he thought he was safe.</p>
<p align="justify">Next, there is the timing of the story. Supposedly the whole affair was discovered as a result of ‘financial irregularities’ that triggered an investigation in 2006 that made its way all the way up to the US Justice Department. How fortuitous then for the war-hungry Neocons that the story broke just a few dozen hours prior to the announced ‘resignation’ of Admiral William Fallon, commander of CentCom. As commander of all military operations in the Middle East, Fallon was the one man standing in the way of George Bush and his Neocon ‘crazies’ (Fallon’s words) from attacking Iran. He made it clear on several occasions that an attack on Iran would not happen on ‘his watch’ and signaled his absolute opposition to widening an already disastrous war to include Judea’s ancient enemies in Persia. News was leaked a week prior to Fallon’s ‘resignation’ that he might be ‘relieved of duty’ by Bush, and then, almost by magical coincidence, there is Spitzer with his hand caught in the cookie jar right smack dab in the middle of everything, and during the most important days when Fallon’s story would have gotten traction. Tragically, the sacking of the one man who could have delayed Armageddon is washed down the memory hole and forgotten. Exhibit B.</p>
<p align="justify">If indeed this was a deliberate political hit and Spitzer was not some innocent bystander caught in the cross fire, there are several reasons that paint a credible picture as to why he would have been targeted ahead of others. Enter exhibit C, the fact that as a Jew he committed a capital offense within his community when as Attorney General for the state of New York he investigated certain powerful Jewish groups, and not just ANY group such as ‘Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership,’ but rather the mother of them all, the World Jewish Congress. Tasked with receiving, handling and distributing reparations for Holocaust survivors through one of its adjuncts known as the ‘Claims Conference,’ Spitzer’s investigation was concentrated on&#8211;surprise surprise&#8211;‘financial irregularities’ within the organization.</p>
<p><i></p>
<p align="justify">‘How rich’, as the old saying goes, considering the fact that supposedly this was what led to Spitzer himself being caught red-handed. A story appearing in the Israeli publication <i>Ynet</i> of 2006 (the same year the investigations directed by and against Spitzer took place ) entitled <i>‘Where Did The Shoah Money Go?</i> details how a pittance of the billions collected in Holocaust reparations actually makes its way into the hands of survivors while at the same time executives of the WJC and Claims Conference spend millions on lavish trips for themselves annually. In the Ynet piece it discussed Spitzer’s investigation as well as his ‘grave’ report on the matter, that revealed</p>
<p></i><i></p>
<p align="justify">‘…Apparent financial irregularities amounting to millions of dollars, administrative deficiencies and circular transfers of 1.2 million dollars form the accounts of the WJC in New York to a bank account in Geneva…From there, the money found its way to a private bank account in England and from there to an account in the name of a private company called Solar…Upon opening of the investigation, the money was returned…’</p>
<p></i></p>
<p align="justify">The piece went on to describe how the money was used by officials of the WJC for lavish trips to Paris, Berlin, Rome, Vienna, Geneva, Rio de Janeiro, Budapest, London, and of course Tel Aviv. In one case involving then-president of the organization Israel Singer it was revealed that in one year’s time he personally spent almost half a million dollars on 1<sup>st</sup> class plane tickets, posh hotel rooms and rich meals that would choke a pig to death. In addition, Spitzer’s investigation revealed Singer withdrew as much as ¾ of a million dollars in a year’s time for ‘expenses’ related to ‘Shoah’ business that obviously would be written off as tax deductions.</p>
<p align="justify">This by itself may seem like nothing, but when viewed in light of ancient Jewish traditions, and in particular something known as <i>‘mesira’</i> is when the picture takes on a whole new hue.</p>
<p align="justify">A recent piece appearing in the <i>Forward </i>(considered the most respected and influential Jewish newspaper in America) entitled <i>“Case of Informant Reverberates Through L.A.&#8217;s Orthodox Community”</i> reveals a phenomenon unheard-of by most persons outside of those nursed on Italian gangster films such as ‘The Godfather’. In this case it is the ‘code of silence’ that is part and parcel of closed, secretive communities and organized crime groups. Within Jewish circles, <i>‘Mesira’</i> is the business of Jews ‘ratting out’ other Jews to Gentile governments, an offense so serious it is punishable by death for the ‘moser’, meaning the informant. Interviewed for the <i>Forward</i> piece was one Rabbi Daniel Korobkin, who said that</p>
<p><i></p>
<p align="justify">&#8220;People are shell-shocked about the thing on many levels…Number one, our neighbors and friends are implicated, and number two, an act of mesira on this level was perpetrated by one of our own.&#8221;</p>
<p></i></p>
<p align="justify">The case highlighted by the <i>Forward</i> detailed the uproar in LA’s Jewish community over the fact that a rabbi named Kasirer agreed to act as an informant on a huge money-laundering scheme involving the Spinka Orthodox Community in LA. Another ‘prominent’ Orthodox Rabbi not named in the piece had the following to say&#8211;</p>
<p><i></p>
<p align="justify">‘He (the informer) is certainly persona non grata across the board…Everybody is just disgusted with the idea that a person tried to save himself by hurting others.&#8221;‘</p>
<p></i></p>
<p align="justify">Forget the fact that serious felonies were involved with the case involving the fraud and embezzlement of hundreds of millions of dollars. The important thing was that code of silence that was violated and this was what had the Jewish community in LA kvetching up a hurricane.</p>
<p align="justify">The fact of the matter is that by investigating the world‘s most powerful Jewish organization, the World Jewish Congress, Elliot Spitzer ‘ratted out’ his fellow Jews to a (at least in theory) Gentile government and as a result, incurred a death sentence of sorts. Not resorting to the more blunt, quick death that a bullet from a silenced pistol to the head would have affected, instead his executioners chose the noisy, embarrassing political death of having him step down from the governor’s office in disgrace. For the rest of his life he will be remembered for one thing and one thing only, so much so that he couldn’t win the office of county dog catcher if he were the only candidate on the ballot.</p>
<p align="justify">There are other reasons for interested parties to bring down Spitzer in such a way besides the aforementioned, one of which is making an example of him for others. It is a rule of thumb that periodically thugs have to beat up one of the kids on the playground just to show the rest of the crew who’s boss. As in the case of Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, and others who have run afoul of organized Jewish interests in this country, an example was made of Spitzer for the rest of the political herd to consider should they ever decide to get frisky or confident of their own power. In a day when America is going bankrupt and is hated all over the world for her support of the MOTHER of all Jewish causes&#8211;the state of Israel&#8211;and her seemingly never-ending thirst for blood, Spitzer going down in such an ignominious manner was an all-too-effective way of warning other powerful persons in America&#8211;<i>‘We can bring you down within a matter of hours, and don’t you EVER forget it bubba.’</i></p>
<p align="justify">And finally, there is exhibit D, the silence…The DEAFENING silence from the Jewish community concerning the prosecution (persecution) of one of their own. Generally groups such as the ADL, AIPAC, JDL, JDO and others circle the wagons whenever a member of the tribe is in the hot seat, come out like a swarm of hornets and shout down whatever bad light the accused happens to suffer at that moment, irrespective of his innocence or guilt. Keep in mind that the ADL was formed as a result of the vigilante execution of Leo Frank, a Jew convicted in a court of law of raping and murdering 13 year old Mary Phagan. When accused spies Weissman and Rosen of the American Israel Political Affairs Committee were arrested and charged with espionage a few years back, pundits and media hounds asserted it was a political pogrom orchestrated by ‘anti-Semites’ working in the Justice department. They pointed (and continue to point) to the fact that the law used in prosecuting the two Israeli spies was a century-old statute and very obscure. Coincidentally, the law used in bringing the heat down on Spitzer also happens to be a century old and yet, the hounds are as quiet as church mice. When one considers all the noise made by organized Jewish groups both in the US and Israel for the release of convicted Jewish spy and traitor Jonathon Pollard vs. the silence surrounding the present hot soup in which Spitzer finds himself swimming, the contrast is, well, ‘pregnant’ with implications, for lack of a better word.</p>
<p align="justify">And everyone can dismiss the idea that this story was just ‘too big’ for the media to effectively cover up. Recall the stories released in the wee hours following the 9/11 attacks concerning the 5 dancing Israelis and the white van carrying explosives driven by members of Israel’s intelligence service Mossad towards the George Washington bridge&#8211;Certainly explosive stories, considering what took place that day, and yet barely anyone in America knows about them. Theoretically it could be Christmas and if the media wanted to cover up the fact, rest assured it would not see the light of day.</p>
<p align="justify">Other theories swirl about as to why Spitzer was targeted. Some deal with&#8211;again, ‘financial irregularities’, but in this case they are safely deflected towards other targets such as Bush and Co, which may be true or which may be a red herring set loose into the fishbowl of political discourse by interested parties working to protect Jewish interests operating under the <i>‘By Way of Deception Thou Shalt Do War’</i> theorem espoused by Mossad.</p>
<p align="justify">One thing everyone can bet on though, and even in these mad days of utter unpredictability, which is that the political assassination of Elliot Spitzer is&#8211;like all things taking place in the Occupied Territories known as the United States these days&#8211;the proverbial tip of the iceberg. There are two sides to every story: What the talking heads say happened and what really happened, and rarely do the two of them meet (even secretly) and get to know each other better, and not even in the most ‘conjugal’ of all places, the Emperor’s Club known as Washington DC.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="4" face="andalus"></p>
<p align="justify"><img border="0" width="236" src="http://zionistwatch.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/jew_death_stalkers.jpg?w=236&#038;h=206" height="206" /></p>
<p align="justify"><span id="more-55"></span></p>
<p align="justify">A ‘crazed Muslim fanatic’ entering the holy of holies&#8211;a ‘seminary’ (the Christians will better identify with that word than they will the word <i>yeshiva</i>) and kills 8 soon-to-be Rabbis whom the Jewish Talmud says are even smarter than God Himself&#8230;The world is brought to a standstill…The news media is on the scene and covering it as if nothing else where taking place anywhere…Scenes of wailing Jews, crying out to the God in heaven who loves them more than anyone else <i>‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken us?…’</i></p>
<p align="justify">Boy THAT sure was a lucky coincidence for Israel, huh? Right in the ‘knick of time,’ as they say…I mean, what could have been more timely and fortuitous, and particularly with what just took place last week? All that bad press that this ‘shitty little country’ (as one diplomat once described the Jewish state) was getting after it invaded Gaza and murdered over 100 people, to say nothing of the fact that before murdering them they tortured them for several months by preventing the most basic necessities such as food, fuel and medicine from entering the most densely populated area on the planet.</p>
<p align="justify">How on earth do they do it? Every time they need something to ‘pop up’ in order to take the heat off them or in some way facilitate some demand on their part, it arrives with great fanfare as if it were gift-wrapped from heaven and hand-delivered by an army of angels marching in perfect syncopation. They wanted US troops out of Lebanon in the early 1980’s, and ‘BATTA-BING!’&#8211;a crazed Muslim fanatic drives an explosives-laden truck into a Marine barracks and kills a few hundred. The UN is just about to declare Israel a racist state and, BATTA-BANG!&#8211;crazed Muslim fanatics fly airplanes into the Twin Towers. Now, Israel issues a decree saying she is going to bring a holocaust upon the Christians and Muslims of Gaza, goes in and kills over a hundred, a ‘BATTA-BOOM/BOOM/BOOM!’ a crazed Muslim fanatic enters Jerusalem and shoots up the place.</p>
<p align="justify">Well, what can be said, except that either they REALLY ARE God’s chosen people (as they are always telling us) or else they must have made a deal with the devil.</p>
<p align="justify">We’ll remain silent on that last one for now.</p>
<p align="justify">In the meantime, what words can we offer in commentary over this latest event, other than the usual? <i>War is hell…You win some and you lose some…Another one bites the dust…that’s the way the ball bounces…Life in the big city…C’est la vie…</i></p>
<p align="justify">Too insensitive? I beg to differ. I am only repeating what the rest of us have heard these last 40 years IN EVERY SINGLE INSTANCE when Israel murders innocent civilians, whether in Palestine, Lebanon or elsewhere. And not just a handful (something that happens EVERYDAY) but sometimes TENS OF THOUSANDS. Time after time after time ‘the most moral army in the world’ (as they call themselves) drops a 1,000-lb bomb on an apartment complex, killing dozens and maiming hundreds for the duration of their lifetimes, and what do we get?</p>
<p align="justify">A shrug of the shoulders, an expression of disconcern mixed with a sense of mild aggravation as if a mosquito had just been swatted followed by a slight, smart-assed smirk on the collective Jewish face as if to say ‘<i>Screw you, Gentiles, Israel does whatever the f*** she wants and don’t you open your f****** mouths about it.’</i></p>
<p align="justify">So spare me the outrage over what appears to be the blasé tone of my statements concerning the execution of the 8 soon-to-be <i>Rebbe</i>. I am only ‘following orders’ and ‘going with the flow’ as they say, and being a big believer in the notion of ‘equality for all with favoritism towards none,’ what I’m saying is that what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.</p>
<p align="justify">Besides, let’s put a few things in perspective here. Imagine for a moment that instead of a Yeshiva, it was a ‘Madrassa’, one of those EEEEEEVIL schools where Muslim children are indoctrinated through the study of the Koran to ‘wage jihad’ and become suicide bombers so that they can get their ‘72 virgins’. Let’s say that there were a few Imams in the school filling the heads of these young jihadists with all these EEEEEEVIL ideas of taking over the world, and instead of someone going in with a gun and carefully selecting his targets, Israel drops one of her made-to-order hellbombs on the place and kills everyone in the village, including women and children. Those not killed instantly suffer a long, tortuous death after the skin is burned off their bodies. Would there be any outrage? Would there be anything near the kind of coverage this event is getting? Again, the response and the mood surrounding the whole thing would be one of the aforementioned sentiments&#8211;<i>War is hell…You win some and you lose some…Another one bites the dust…that’s the way the ball bounces…Life in the big city…C’est la vie…</i>Going a step further, the entire murderous affair would be justified with <i>‘Hey, you want an omelet? You gotta break a few eggs…’</i></p>
<p align="justify">Proof for my hypothetical? Consider the cheering that took place when Saddam Hussein was hanged, the killing of his two sons, the killing of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, etc, etc, etc, not to mention the whole ‘shock and awe’ bombing campaign that resulted in tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians being killed.</p>
<p align="justify">And just in case some would accuse me of equivocating between those ‘EEEEEEVIL’ Madrassas and the Yeshivas or between the ‘EEEEEEVIL’ Imams and the pure-as-the-wind-driven-snow/soon-to-be-Rabbis, I’ll say up front that I’m not equivocating at all. The fact is, the Rabbis are worse. FAR WORSE. There is no comparing a Rabbi to an Imam. Give me the worst Imam in the world and he wouldn’t hold a candle&#8211;or rather, a Qassam rocket&#8211;to any yeshiva-educated Rabbi. Whatever evidence can be brought forth concerning the ‘jihadist Muslims’ and their ‘book of hate’ called the Koran&#8211;whether this ‘evidence’ is real or concocted&#8211;it does not begin to compare with the evil that takes place in the Yeshivas.</p>
<p align="justify">After all, what is being taught and studied in these schools where the shooting took place? <i>Love thy neighbor? Turn the other cheek? What you do unto the least of these, my brethren you do unto me? Blessed are the peacemakers?…</i></p>
<p align="justify">Perish the thought, gentile readers…If there were ever a place where hatred&#8211;pure, distilled, and undiluted&#8211;was taught, it is in the yeshivas. This is the reason why the Jewish media is referring to the locale as a ‘seminary’, for fear that if they use the word ‘yeshiva’ curious people might look up the word, find out it’s a place for studying the ‘Talmud’ and from there, look up the word ‘Talmud’ and find out about the hatred for non-Jews contained in it. The ‘cat would be out of the bag,’ as they say and suddenly upon seeing with their own eyes the hate that drips from every word on every page of the ultimate ‘book of hate,’ all the answers to all questions concerning why the Jews have been hated throughout history would suddenly snap into place with a click loud enough to be heard around the world instantaneously.</p>
<p align="justify">‘Seminary’ sounds so much better. A place where humble, charitable, God-fearing young men live in seclusion from a corrupt, violent world so they can study and commune with the Almighty and upon graduation, go forth and preach the Good news for the benefit of humanity.</p>
<p align="justify">Nothing could be further from the truth. The yeshiva is the well from which flows the poisonous waters of the Talmud, the source of all the unrest in the Middle East and now elsewhere. It is the place where Jewish men are taught the Jihadist mentality of Judaism which states the Jews are God’s chosen people, that Gentiles are beasts in human form created to serve the Jews and that anything may be done to the Gentiles, including murder, genocide, theft, rape of their women and children and much more. It is a factory that cranks out spiritual pimps and drug dealers who&#8211;upon graduation, go forth and perpetuate the trafficking in the highly addictive, soul-destroying narcotic known as Judaism that, like a radioactive element, brings death everywhere it goes. This being the case, it is easy to see therefore why some people&#8211;and particularly those who have suffered the 60-year long campaign of murder and oppression at the hands of God’s chosen people might see the Yeshivas as military targets in the same way as some might see the School of the Americas (where assassins for clandestine operations around the world are trained) as one also.</p>
<p align="justify">After all, consider just a smattering of what these Yeshivas have produced in recent years. Religious leaders saying that the <i>‘blood of the Jew is superior to that of the Gentiles’</i> and that <i>‘a million Arabs aren’t worth one Jewish fingernail’</i>…Who could forget those ‘nice Jewish girls’ who made the news a few years ago by autographing high-explosive warheads with sickeningly-violent statements such as <i>‘From Israel, With Love’</i> before these weapons of mass destruction were launched into Lebanese villages…Ask the Christians in Jerusalem sometime about the spitting and cursing they endure from the Yeshiva students at the encouragement of their Rebbe. These are just a small portion of the ugly fruit the Yeshiva produces, and if these aren‘t enough then one need look no further than the daily carnage taking place in the area as a result of the corrupting influence these schools produce for further proof.</p>
<p align="justify">Now, I know some conspiracy theorists might (with good reason) suggest that Israel did the job herself and that this was just one more in a long string of similar events that have taken place in the last 60 years where ‘adventurous,’ ‘dedicated’ and ‘patriotic’ Jews instigated violent acts against other Jews for propaganda purposes in order to create certain political outcomes. The truth is, it’s easy to see why such persons would embrace such an idea. After all, it is the motto of Israel’s Mossad <i>‘By Way Of Deception Thou Shalt Do War’</i> , and it was Ariel Sharon, ‘the Butcher of Beirut who himself stated&#8211;</p>
<p><i></p>
<p align="justify">&#8220;Even today I am willing to volunteer to do the dirty work for Israel, even if it means blowing up one or two synagogues here and there, I don&#8217;t care. What you don&#8217;t seem to understand is that the dirty work of Zionism is not finished yet, far from it.&#8221;</p>
<p></i></p>
<p align="justify">And so it’s understandable why people would suspect that all is not Kosher with this latest story, or rather that it WAS Kosher, depending on how you view it.</p>
<p align="justify">For the moment however I won’t go there&#8211;YET. Right now I’ll give Israel the benefit of the doubt she doesn’t deserve and temporarily suspend my disbelief by holding to the conventional wisdom which says the guy did it. Curious though that he DID follow the pattern of all lone, crazed gunmen throughout history, which is that he was killed on the spot before he could open his mouth.</p>
<p align="justify">What I will say though is that Israel bears the responsibility for it, or as one famous anti-Rabbinic activist once said, <i>‘what you sow also shall you reap.’</i></p>
<p align="justify">The death of 8 soon-to-be Pharisees is a drop compared to the sea of blood Israel has shed in the last century, and since we are constantly getting the ‘tit-for-tat’ lecture from Jews as they justify the violence they shed on innocent people because of the supposed suffering they endured (maybe) <i>‘all’s fair in love and war,’</i> as the saying goes.</p>
<p align="justify">Sadly though, Jews around the world will not see this latest attack as such. They will not draw the obvious conclusion that this is what happens when you oppress and murder an entire group of people day in/day out for decades and that eventually someone gets mad and strikes out. No, this latest will be blamed on the usual suspect&#8211;‘anti-Semitism’, rather than on the fact that Israel, the angel of death in the Middle East, is reaping what she has sown.</p>
<p align="justify">And perpetuating this big lie will be the rabbis, the fruit of the Yeshivas where the Talmud and its core teaching of Jewish superiority is taught, and WHEN Israel uses this latest event to justify launching a war against innocent Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians, Iranians, or whoever, resulting in tens of thousands of deaths, their response will be what it always is&#8211;</p>
<p><i></p>
<p align="justify">‘War is hell…You win some and you lose some…Another one bites the dust…that’s the way the ball bounces…Life in the big city…C’est la vie…’</p>
<p></i></p>
<p align="justify">…When what they are really saying between hypocritical words, pretending to nurse a mild sense of regret over the whole incident is&#8211;</p>
<p align="justify">‘<i>Screw you, Gentiles, Israel does whatever the f*** she wants and don’t you open your f****** mouths about it.’</i></p>

<p><span id="more-54"></span><font size="4" face="andalus">Medvedev’s Election Signals that Russia Will Stay the Course</font><font size="4" face="andalus"></p>
<p align="justify">Despite the implication of what ‘Russian Roulette’ entails&#8211;meaning a fool’s game of chance with death&#8211;there is nothing suicidal (on a personal or national level) about what the ruling elite in Russia are planning, and no better proof of this lies than in the recent election of Dmitry Medvedev to the presidency.</p>
<p align="justify">Long considered to be Vladimir Putin’s protégé, Medvedev secured over 70% of the vote in the election taking place March 2<sup>nd</sup>. He has vowed to continue with what he calls ‘the Putin Plan’ which, put simply means a defensive/aggressive stance when dealing with Western/Zionist interests that want to bring Russia under the thumb of the New World Order. In his first statement following the election, Medvedev is quoted saying his policies will be &#8220;A direct continuation of that path which was carried out and is being carried out by President Putin.&#8221; Despite a few protests from disgruntled candidates as well as from groups long-alleged to be creatures of western intelligence agencies aligned with or working for the US, Great Britain, Israel’s Mossad or all 3, the general mood in Russia is one of victory and confidence. Within minutes of the announcement that Medvedev was the projected winner, large groups of Russians marched through Moscow toward the U.S. Embassy to criticize American policies in Kosovo, Iraq and the Muslim world.</p>
<p align="justify">And there is good reason for such a festive mood these days. Medvedev is seen as something of an adopted son to Putin, who himself is wildly popular for his no-nonsense approach when it comes to Russia’s national interests. Putin is credited with pulling Russia out of the post Soviet-era corruption that marked the heyday of Boris Yeltsin’s drunken and compromised presidency. He nationalized industries that had been absconded and bled dry by unscrupulous predators holding dual citizenship in Israel and funneled the proceeds into the Russian economy. He raised the standard of living for virtually all Russians, paid off the debt to the International Monetary Fund and as a result Russia, flush with cash profits from her oil and gas sales is now posting a surplus of over half a trillion dollars.</p>
<p align="justify">Not a newcomer to politics or to Putin’s agenda, Medvedev served under the former KGB colonel as chief of staff, first deputy prime minister and then chairman of the state-controlled gas industry Gazprom. Given the thirst for fossil fuel in nearby industrialized Western Europe as well as in those Eastern European countries making up the former Soviet Union, Gazprom’s importance cannot be understated. Economically speaking it is like a loaded gun pointed at the industrial engines of those countries lying to Russia’s west. Putin has used Russia’s control over these resources as political leverage with countries dependent upon her for this commodity and has exacted political concessions from them by using it, no doubt a policy that will continue under a Medvedev presidency.</p>
<p align="justify">Possibly the most important part of these recent developments is the fact that the new president has asked Putin to remain in government as Prime Minister and Putin has accepted. Although a post with diminished powers from those of the President, it still affords Putin the opportunity of remaining on the scene and personally overseeing the business taking place in Russia’s Legislative body, the Duma. Readers will recall that in the recent Parliamentary elections late last year, Putin’s ‘United Russia’ party secured close to 80% of the seats. That being said, with a friendly Parliament under his watch as premier, new legislation could easily be written greatly expanding the powers of Putin’s newly-acquired office of Prime Minister. Short of this, Putin will most certainly be there as an important advisor to Medvedev, and as demonstrated throughout centuries of history, advisors often have as much or more of an influence upon an executive than do those holding an elected official position. Besides this, should anything ‘unexpected’ happen such as Medvedev deciding that the responsibilities and rigors of his new job are too much, a new election would then take place in which Putin could legally run for a new term, as the Russian Constitution only bars a person from holding the office of the Presidency more than twice consecutively.</p>
<p align="justify">In terms of Russian foreign policy which&#8211;simply stated, means holding back the predatory designs of the Zionist cabal controlling the US and Western Europe’s most powerful countries, little if any change can be expected. Putin compared George Bush to a ‘maniac threatening people with a razor’ and Medvedev was quoted saying the US President was ‘semi-senile.’ Both men understand the nature of predators and it can be expected that the new president and his right-hand man in the Duma will continue to pour Russia’s growing wealth into modernizing her armed forces so that the world’s largest country possessing some of the world’s largest natural reserves does not go the way of Iraq and Afghanistan.</p>
<p align="justify">It can be anticipated that like flies at a picnic the West&#8211;and in particular the US, Israel and all their Zionist subagencies&#8211;will attempt to worm their way into the new Medvedev presidency through a combination of threats, bribes, flatteries and insults in trying to reclaim the territory the Neocons lost under the Putin presidency. In all likelihood though this appears doomed to failure, as the power base in Russia is diffused and yet united in its will to survive. If there is anything for which Russians are famous it is in playing chess and after viewing the devastation and carnage wrought on Iraq and Afghanistan as well as considering the vampiric designs the American/Israeli hydra has for other places around the world, the likelihood of the ruling establishment allowing a gun to be put to the head of Mother Russia will all six cylinders loaded is as likely as a January heat wave in Siberia or a cold day in hell. And in the end, it may very well be Russia’s determination to survive that may be the determining factor in driving a stake into the heart of the Zionist beast that has brought nothing but death to every country in which it has gone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="4"></p>
<p align="justify"><span id="more-53"></span>Recent statements coming from one of Russia’s highest-ranking military commanders indicates that America and Israel plan to go ahead with war on Iran despite the release of the National Intelligence Estimate late last year.</p>
<p align="justify">Russia&#8217;s military chief of staff General Yuri Baluyevsky threatened the use of nuclear weapons in case of a major threat saying that although they have no plans of attacking anyone, they nevertheless consider it necessary for everyone around the world community to ‘clearly understand, that to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Russia and its allies, military forces will be used, including preventively, the use of nuclear weapons.&#8221;</p>
<p align="justify">His statements (which can only have been made in concert with the overall policies established by his boss President Vladimir Putin) come one week after George Bush’s visit to the Persian Gulf in which the recovering alcoholic -turned born-again Christian attempted to rally the nations in that region around US and Israeli plans of ‘confronting Iran’s nuclear program before it is too late’.</p>
<p align="justify">Those watching recent events should not be particularly surprised at Baluyevsky’s statement, despite the stark and apocalyptic themes pervading it and despite the fact that such statements have not been made in decades. Over the course of the last year, Russia has taken on an increasingly aggressive/defensive posture with regards to the West as a result of what it sees as an overall plan of encircling her with NATO forces that threaten her in an existential way.</p>
<p align="justify">Not just talking the talk, Mother Russia is walking the walk as well. She has resumed long-range bomber patrols (halted with the fall of the Soviet Union) sometimes coming within inches of NATO airspace. She has pulled out of several treaties with the West limiting the size of Russian military forces on Europe’s eastern flank. Incensed at the US plan of using new NATO member nations in Eastern Europe as a staging area for missile defense systems (said to be a necessary defense against Iran) Russia has developed and successfully test fired new missiles&#8211;both land and sea-launched that she claims are sophisticated enough to trump any US Missile shield.</p>
<p align="justify">Beginning in December (after the release of the NIE) Russia began delivering the nuclear fuel supplies promised to Iran according to their agreement. As of the moment of this writing, 4 shipments have been made totaling 45 tons of the estimated 80 tons necessary for the Bushehr facility to begin refinement. Israel is furious, as evidenced by Israeli Foreign minister Tzipi Livni’s recent meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov wherein she called the fuel deliveries ‘inconceivable’.</p>
<p align="justify">What is of particular importance in General Baluyevsky’s statement is his mention of ‘defending the sovereignty and territorial integrity’ of&#8211;not just Russia, but as well her ‘allies’. Despite the fact that she may not (as of this moment) have signed formal mutual defense agreements with nations such as Iran and Syria on Israel and America’s list of countries targeted for destruction, they are nevertheless considered important trading partners occupying Russia’s peripheries and therefore a first-line defense of Russian territory.</p>
<p align="justify">Throughout this entire nightmare taking place in the Middle East Russia has demonstrated herself to be a sane and rational character. She is famous for the chess players she has produced over the centuries, both in terms of those moving wooden pieces around a checkered board as well as those watching world events and making policy based on them.</p>
<p align="justify">By contrast, Israel and&#8211;more importantly, the United States under the administration of George Bush&#8211;have demonstrated themselves to be highly irrational and unpredictable. Iraq and Afghanistan are unmitigated disasters and the fact that neither the US nor Israel have learned any substantive lessons from these disasters proves they are dangerous to all nations seen as uncooperative in the drive for US and Israeli world hegemony. Indeed, Putin was not being figurative or poetic when he recently referred to Bush as a ‘maniac running around threatening everyone with a razor’.</p>
<p align="justify">Baluyevsky’s statements indicate that chess players in Moscow&#8211;having watched and analyzed the moves made by George Bush and his handlers in Israel, have concluded that the release of the NIE and its relevant parts dealing with Iran not having a nuclear weapons program means nothing in the overall scheme. Bush is intent upon bringing about Armageddon at any cost, and Russia, seeing this likelihood is warning in the clearest of terms&#8211;meaning the preemptive use of nuclear weapons&#8211;that it will not be tolerated.</p>
<p align="justify">Let all the world hope that staring down the barrel of a nuclear launching tube is enough in sobering up sots such as Bush and his Neocon handlers in Israel who are drunk on their own power and obviously not effected by the carnage they have created.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="4"></p>
<p align="justify"><span id="more-52"></span>Foolishly, when the National Intelligence Estimate was released late last year many spectators in the bleachers watching (what appeared would be) an imminent war with Iran breathed a sigh of relief, and thinking the game was over began packing their things to go home.</p>
<p align="justify">In truth though they should have hung around a few minutes more and paid some mind to that old saying ‘It ain’t over till it’s over’. What they failed to consider is the fanaticism driving certain players in this game, not the least of whom are the Zionists controlling George Bush and George Bush himself. Bush and his handlers (both in the US and Israel and being the genuine Armageddonites they are) see themselves as the guys in the white hats fighting an epic battle against the forces of evil. This being the case, rational persons should understand that the release of the NIE would and will have little effect on them when it comes to doing the Lord’s work of wiping out Judea’s ancient enemies in Persia. And while some&#8211;viewing all this with a sense of unrealistic optimism&#8211;may still think Bush’s continuing rhetoric against Iran is all just an act, wiser heads should assume it is the real deal and come to grips with the likelihood that he indeed plans to make good on all the promises he gave his Zionist overlords prior to his election in 2000.</p>
<p align="justify">In the first case, people should consider that Bush has been a cauldron of sorts since the release of the NIE and seething with embarrassment and humiliation. His recalcitrance in this matter is easily proven by the fact he has not relented one iota in his previous position that Iran ‘was, is and will be’ a danger to the world. Rather than trusting the intelligence services whose multi-billion dollar budgets he himself approves he has cast aside the opinions of experts and professionals who are as wedded to their work as Mozart was to his music. In effect, it is similar to an obstinate man being told by a team of doctors that the patient in question does not have a deadly case of appendicitis but rather a simple case of indigestion and the man, listening to the mad voices in his head and the mad voices of his handlers, grabs the scalpel and begins slashing away in an effort to ‘cure’ the situation as he sees fit.</p>
<p align="justify">As for Bush’s handlers&#8211;both in Israel and the US&#8211;before the ink had even dried on the NIE they were shrieking and howling like spoiled children, just standard operating procedure whenever the Jewish state does not get the lollipop or new toy it demands, in this case an atomic war against Iran resulting in the deaths of millions. Politicians and military people alike in Israel have since scoffed at the NIE with a mixture of rage and ridicule, have characterized the NIE as either rubbish or else a deliberate maneuver to endanger Israel and have made it clear that if the US does not go forward with the annihilation of Iran that Israel will do it herself. Within what seemed like minutes of the NIE’s release it was announced that Bush was headed to Israel for his first presidential visit, and even though the stated reason for his visit was making peace between the thug Jewish state and the Palestinian Christians and Muslims (victims to the longest military occupation in modern history) it is more likely that the real reason is to get his marching orders from his bosses in Tel Aviv regarding war with Iran and to coordinate how it will be brought about.</p>
<p align="justify">And then, almost as if by magic before he had even landed, several incidents had taken place, the first being the launching of 2 Katyusha rockets&#8211;said to have come from Hezbollah-controlled southern Lebanon into northern Israel. The rockets are of course ‘Iranian’ in origin, just like all the supposed IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) killing American troops in Iraq. Following close on the heals of this was the ‘clash’ between elements of the Iranian navy and 3 US warships passing through the straits of Hormuz. The manner in which the event was splashed across American news channels depicted 5 Iranian fast boats&#8211;not much larger than an ordinary fishing boat and incapable of carrying anything more than a few personnel&#8211;charging the American ships (that could have cut them to shreds literally within seconds) in a ‘threatening and provocative’ manner. A video tape released by the Navy figured an Iranian radio transmission to the US ships saying ‘We are coming to you, and within a few minutes you will explode.’</p>
<p align="justify">Predictably, the 2-headed government/media hydra&#8211;infested to the gills with Zionist operatives made the most of it in again striking up the cacophony of the war symphony. Bush, like an attack dog on a short leash snarled and growled on command and used the event to reiterate his position that Iran was a threat to world peace and threatened retaliation if it were repeated.</p>
<p align="justify">What is particularly interesting about this latest ‘incident’ is how it resembles an event that took place during the Reagan era. In his 2<sup>nd</sup> book ‘The Other Side Of Deception’ ex-Mossad agent Victor Ostrovsky detailed how Israel&#8211;desperately wanting US military action initiated against Libya&#8211;employed what was called ‘Operation Trojan Horse’. At the time, Libya’s Muhammar Kaddafi was ‘the new Hitler’ (just as Iran’s Ahmadinejhad is today) and in the interests of showing who’s boss in the big bad Middle East, Israel’s intelligence service tricked the Americans into thinking that not only was Libya responsible for past acts of terror but planning new ones as well. Like all Mossad ‘By way of deception, thou shalt do war’ operations, an Israeli team was sent into Libya with a radio transmitter where fake messages in Arabic containing the aforementioned incriminating material were broadcast to an eavesdropping United States. The gullible Americans, monitoring the chatter and prodded by Mossad, fell for the ploy, resulting in a US strike being launched against Libya with 160 aircraft.</p>
<p align="justify">Surprisingly (or perhaps not) within a day of the Iranian ‘incident’ and following Iran’s denial of the course of events (along with video and audio of its own contradicting the American claims) the US navy was backtracking and was forced to admit that it did not know who really broadcast the messages. The frequency used to make the threats was an international frequency, easily accessible by literally anyone and thus could have originated from any boat in the area, or even from some ‘unknown location’ on shore.</p>
<p align="justify">Before leaving the Jewish state to visit with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait (seeking support for military action against Iran) America’s fearless leader visited Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial, Israel’s ‘holy of holies’ and a ‘must-see’ for all visiting dignitaries. Donning his mandated Jewish skull cap and ignoring the holocaust of the Palestinian Christians and Muslims taking place a mere few yards away, he wept for Hitler‘s Jewish past victims and said that <i>‘When evil exists we must resist it’</i> and then later when talking about the death camps said clearly <i>‘We should have bombed Auschwitz’</i>.</p>
<p align="justify">It should be remembered that since Israel set Iran in her sights, it has been a daily, if not hourly mantra&#8211;<i>‘It is 1938&#8230;Iran is the new Germany and Ahmadinejhad is the new Hitler…’</i></p>
<p align="justify">Of course, many would say that Bush’s remarks were merely him adhering to that old dictum ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do’, since Israel’s existence is as intrinsically tied to the constant, somber remembrance of Jewish persecution as beer-drinking and festivities are at Oktoberfest…</p>
<p align="justify">However, a few things&#8211;as troubling as they are&#8211;need to be kept in mind as well before closing the book a few pages short of the end. There are still US two carrier groups sitting not far from where the recent ‘incident’ with Iran took place. A few months before the release of the NIE, news stories began circulating of Iran having developed a ‘deadly’ new submarine capable of evading US sonar. Shortly thereafter, well-known journalist Seymour Hersh wrote of inside information he received detailing how a bull’s-eye had been spray-painted on a US ship stationed in Qatar immediately across from the Iranian coast and how ‘the Iranians’ had done it. There is at least one Israeli submarine in the Persian Gulf, and given the treasonous theft and transfer to Israel of high-tech information by one Jonathon Pollard, who can say what kind of advantages Israel has gained in terms of sonar and stealth capabilities over US surface ships? America has fought many wars as a direct or indirect result of ‘naval incidents’, including the Civil War, the Spanish American War, WWI, WWII, and the Gulf of Tonkin incident that led to Johnson’s ‘troop surge’ in Vietnam.</p>
<p align="justify">And last but not least, there is Israel’s murderous attack on the USS Liberty, meant to be the catalyst in bringing about Armageddon for the sake of the poor, beleaguered Jewish state to consider, as well as that other old dictum concerning ‘a leopard changing its spots’.</p>
<p align="justify">And when all this is taken together, it is only those in the bleachers who do not truly understand the nature of the game being played who heave a sigh of relief before the final buzzer rings and start heading home, along with their false sense of security.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="4"></p>
<p align="justify"><span id="more-50"></span>It is important for Americans to remember&#8211;and particularly these days when well-paid lairs for Israel such as Normon Podhoretz, Daniel Pipes, David Horowitz et al are pushing the entire Western World into armed conflict with those in the Middle East&#8211;that the start of the whole affair between America and “terrorism” was not the rise of ‘Islamo-fascism’ that warmongers such as the aforenamed have labeled as being the cause of the problems.</p>
<p align="justify">Rather, it is the history&#8211;the well-documented and easily-verifiable history&#8211;of unspeakable violence that has been perpetrated everyday for the last century by those under the ungodly, inhuman spell known as Zionism against the peoples of the Middle East, Christian as well as Muslim, violence that rarely (if ever) gets a fair hearing in the Western media.</p>
<p align="justify">Those who make it their business to document and expose Israel’s regularly-occurring viciousness against the peoples of Palestine, Lebanon and elsewhere are usually met with scoffs and contempt by a media in the West for the most part completely within the clutches of Zionist/Jewish interests. While the world is forced to hear about every instance&#8211;real or contrived&#8211;of someone from the Jewish community suffering a nose bleed or whose ‘dignity has been offended’ by some bigoted remark, at the same time the world is rarely afforded the opportunity of hearing about what takes place in the lives of innocent Arabs&#8211;men, women and children&#8211;who must suffer under the oppression of a foreign occupier that considers them ‘grasshoppers’ whose ‘heads should be smashed against the wall’, as one former Israeli prime minister once quipped.</p>
<p align="justify">A recent piece appearing in the Guardian of London sparked outrage in the Zionist Jewish community for its brutal frankness concerning the brutal behavior of Israel’s soldiers, inaccurately named the ‘IDF’&#8211;meaning Israeli Defense Forces’ towards the Arabs who find themselves in the tragic position of being under their thumb. The piece in question detailed a series of interviews conducted by a psychologist at Hebrew University named Nufar Yishai-Karin with 21 members of the IDF.</p>
<p align="justify">As the reader will see, the members of Israel’s military forces are not the ‘most moral army in the world’ as they are often called by the slavish, sycophant supporters of the political corporation based on gangster principles known as Israel. Rather, as the damning interviews indicate, being one of ‘God’s chosen soldiers’ in Gaza and the West Bank means being tasked with the business of inflicting as much pain, suffering and humiliation upon the Christians and Muslims there as possible so as to eventually make them leave, resulting in the racially-pure <em>‘Eretz Y’Israel’ </em>that Zionism demands<em>.</em> Reprinted below&#8211;in their own words&#8211;are the remarks of just a few members of the IDF describing what life is like for the Arabs living in the Occupied Territories, a mere smattering of the truth that Americans&#8211;and particularly American Christians&#8211;never read or hear about, neither from their news media nor their well-paid and over-fed preachers.</p>
<p><em></p>
<p align="justify">&#8216;The truth? When there is chaos, I like it. That&#8217;s when I enjoy it. It&#8217;s like a drug. If I don&#8217;t go into Rafah, and if there isn&#8217;t some kind of riot once in some weeks, I go nuts…&#8217;</p>
<p align="justify">&#8216;The most important thing is that it removes the burden of the law from you… You are the law…The moment you leave the place that is called Eretz Yisrael [the Land of Israel] and go through the Erez checkpoint into the Gaza Strip, you are the law. You are God…&#8217;</p>
<p align="justify">&#8216;We were in a weapons carrier when this guy, around 25, passed by in the street and, just like that, for no reason &#8211; he didn&#8217;t throw a stone, did nothing &#8211; bang, a bullet in the stomach, we shot him in the stomach and the guy is dying on the pavement and we keep going, apathetic. No one gave him a second look…&#8217;</p>
<p align="justify">&#8216;With women I have no problem with violence…One threw a shoe at me and I kicked her here [pointing to the crotch], I broke everything there. She can&#8217;t have children. Next time she won&#8217;t throw shoes at me. When one of them spat at me, I gave her the rifle butt in the face. She doesn&#8217;t spit anymore…&#8217;</p>
<p></em></p>
<p align="justify">Another instance recounted by the psychologist conducting the interviews described an occasion where the soldiers were escorting some arrested Palestinians. The arrested men had been taken from their beds in the middle of the night and were barely clothed, even though the temperature was below zero. The new recruits trampled on the Palestinians and then beat them for the whole of the journey. They opened the bus windows and poured water on the arrested men from their canteens.</p>
<p align="justify">As the testimonies prove, the brutality is not limited to grown men and women. In one instance, a soldier recounts something he witnessed while on patrol&#8211;</p>
<p><em></p>
<p align="justify">“It&#8217;s 6am, Rafah is under curfew, there isn&#8217;t so much as a dog in the streets. Only a little boy of four playing in the sand. He is building a castle in his yard. Our officer suddenly starts running and we all run with him. He grabs the boy and breaks his hand here at the wrist and his leg here. Then he started to stomp on his stomach, three times, and left…The next day I go out with him on another patrol, and the soldiers are already starting to do the same thing.&#8221;</p>
<p></em></p>
<p align="justify">These short, small-in-number testimonies from ‘Israel’s finest’ are but microscopic testimonies to a version of the truth that the world rarely hears, if ever, and despite the fact that they are things that have appeared more recently, what the world should remember is that it is but the tip of an iceberg that has existed for nearly a century now. And let not the world make the mistake of thinking that it is limited to the ramblings of a few nobodies in the IDF, when considering the words of Ariel Sharon, the Butcher of Beirut, war criminal and the monster that George Bush once referred to as a ‘man of peace’&#8211;</p>
<p><em></p>
<p align="justify">“…I encourage my soldiers to rape Arabic girls, since the Palestinian woman is a slave for the Jews, and we do whatever we want to her and nobody tells us what we shall do but we tell others what they shall do…&#8221;</p>
<p></em></p>
<p align="justify">&#8211;or a diary entry from &#8211;‘Moshe,’ a Second Lieutenant in the Israeli army&#8211;</p>
<p><em></p>
<p align="justify">&#8220;…I took the Palestinian girl captive. On the first night the soldiers pack-raped her and the next day I saw fit to remove her from the world. I had the soldiers dig a shallow grave, and then I killed the 12 year-old girl with a burst from a sub-machine gun.&#8221;</p>
<p></em></p>
<p align="justify">&#8211;or the remarks of Christopher Hedges, American journalist on assignment in Gaza&#8211;</p>
<p><em></p>
<p align="justify">“&#8230;&#8230;The Israeli soldiers shoot with silencers. The bullets from the American M-16 rifles tumble end over end through the children&#8217;s slight bodies. Later, in the hospital, I will see the destruction: the stomachs ripped out, the gaping holes in limbs and torsos. Yesterday at this spot the Israelis shot eight young men, six of who were under the age of eighteen. This afternoon they killed an eleven-year-old boy, Ali Murad, and seriously wound four more, three of who are under eighteen. Children have been shot in other conflicts I have covered, but never before have I watched as soldiers enticed children like mice into a trap and murdered them for sport.”</p>
<p></em></p>
<p align="justify">And it is precisely this last thing, ‘murdering people for sport’ and sadism of the Zionists that is the reason for American men and women dying in Iraq and Afghanistan today and&#8211;barring some miracle&#8211;why they will be dying in Iran and Syria tomorrow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="4"></p>
<p align="justify"><span id="more-49"></span>Up until only a few weeks ago, it was a trial that was almost assured to take place against one of the most powerful and dangerous organizations ever to work against American interests&#8211;AIPAC. After years of investigations and hundreds of hours of surveillance and wiretaps, a mountain of evidence the size of Mt. Sinai was gathered against the accused spies Rosen and Weissman and promised a victory for the American people as seemingly easy as pouring water out of a boot with the directions on the heel.</p>
<p align="justify">The resulting aftershocks would no doubt have resulted in major political changes taking place over time with regards to America’s cozy love affair with Israel. The resulting fallout ensuing from AIPAC being associated with the dirty business of treason and espionage would have eventually led to it being forced to register as the lobby of a foreign government, which it most certainly is.</p>
<p align="justify">More than that though, and the more dangerous as far as AIPAC is concerned, is that a shift in how Americans see the relationship between their own country and a nation that engages in aggressive espionage against them would have taken place. Those running this nest of spies understood this all too well, which is why calls were made, visits were paid and why strings were pulled to see to it that ‘the fix’ was put in place in scuttling this important trial before it even began.</p>
<p align="justify">Now, based on recent events, tragically it appears that not only is America going to be denied the justice she deserves, she may not even get her day in court. Besides the several delays granted by presiding Judge TS Ellis since charges were first brought against the 2 accused spies Rosen and Weissman over 3 years ago, now other developments suggest the likelihood of this case going to trial has been seriously compromised. If indeed this turns out to be the case than America’s security stands to be threatened in a manner never before seen in her history.</p>
<p align="justify">In an unprecedented move that portends serious problems for the people of the United States, US District Court Judge Ellis has granted several requests on the part of the two accused spies for Israel that bode ill. The first involves forcing current and former high-ranking US government officials to testify, including figures no less in stature than current Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Ex-Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz, National Security Council chief Stephen Hadley, ex-DoD official Douglas Feith, Elliot Abrams, Richard Armitage and others who all played instrumental roles in getting America on board with the current illegal invasion and obliteration of Iraq. The list (basically a who’s who of Zionist Neocons, puppets and puppet masters alike) are individuals up to their ears in the gangsterism of Neocon politics and who have gotten their hands dirty at the behest of the parent company employing the accused spies Rosen and Weissman, Israel.</p>
<p align="justify">To all except those who understand the organically-dirty nature of Zionist intrigue, this latest appears to be but a harmless (albeit ridiculous) legal maneuver on the part of the defense, similar in its flavor to an accused bank robber claiming that his string of crimes are part and parcel of his inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To those however who have had the scales removed from their eyes with regards to the gangsterism of Zionist political maneuvering, this latest represents a subtle yet unequivocal threat on the part of Israel and her supporters, akin to a mugger pointing an unseen gun at his would-be victim from within a coat pocket.</p>
<p align="justify">The defense’s argument (in addition to the ridiculous assertion that the present case is an issue of ‘freedom of speech’) is that the top-secret information (some of it classified ‘SCI,’ the highest classification that exists) received by the two accused spies Rosen and Weissman from former Pentagon analyst Larry Franklin (convicted of espionage and sentenced to 13 years) and which they in turn passed along to Israel was ‘nothing out of the ordinary’ and the sort of thing that ‘happens all the time’ between good friends like America and Israel.</p>
<p align="justify">Based on everything known about the relationship between Israel and America (and particularly with the administration of George Bush) this may be the one time in its long history of lying that AIPAC is actually telling the truth. The information passed along by Pentagon analyst Franklin is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket compared to what has most likely been passed along to Israel by the previously-named officials now being called to testify.</p>
<p align="justify">In other words, Rice and the other administration officials being forced to admit under oath that they themselves passed national defense secrets on to representatives of a foreign government would in the process be incriminating and opening themselves up for possible criminal prosecution, and this is obviously something not likely to occur.</p>
<p align="justify">In comparative terms, this move in forcing the Bush administration to testify as to its own role in sharing top secret information with a foreign government is the courtroom version of “The Sampson Option” (Israel’s longstanding military protocol calling for the launch of nuclear weapons against the entire world in the event that her own existence is substantively threatened) a case of “taking the world down with her” in the midst of her own demise. In this instance, what Israel and her high-priced legal team (including the likes of the infamous Abbie Lowell) are saying in effect is ‘Go ahead with the trial and we’ll spill the beans on what the US government knew and what it has done.’ It is no different than Al Capone and his gang threatening to sing like a bird and ‘name names’ concerning corrupt public officials on the Syndicate payroll if the case goes to trial. With arch-Neocon insiders such as Wolfowitz, Abrams, Feith (and a whole slew of others not appearing in this piece) being called to testify, Americans can be sure that all sorts of embarrassing or even explosive material would be divulged and given to the press, including US government foreknowledge of 9/11 and its subsequent cover-up, the lies told to justify the war in Iraq, the Iranian situation and a basketful of similarly-dirty laundry aired for public consideration. And it would not just involve low-level lackeys such as Rice, Rumsfeld, et al, but would most likely go all the way to the top, involving Bush and Cheney. This is to speak nothing of the information Israel’s intelligence service Mossad has acquired on these individuals in terms of their personal lives. Given the fact that the Zionists will not work with anyone except criminals, Americans can be sure that those occupying the highest levels of government have more than a few skeletons in the closet that they prefer remain unknown and unseen. In the event that Rice &amp; Co pull the ‘executive privilege’ ace out of their collective sleeve and for reasons of national security refuse to answer questions (as recently took place before Congress) the defense can claim it was denied valuable, pertinent testimony and thus call for a mistrial, or worse, that the case be thrown out from the bench.</p>
<p align="justify">In the meantime, Israel and her supporters (and particularly among deluded Christians Zionists who make up the ‘Amen Corner’ in America) would maintain that&#8211;once again&#8211;the beleaguered Jewish people ‘were used’ by powerful forces against their own will, and that&#8211;once again&#8211;the present conundrum is all a product of&#8211;surprise, surprise&#8211;“anti-Semitism”.</p>
<p align="justify">Other troubling developments related to this case include Judge Ellis allowing the defense to interrogate possible jurors for any ‘anti-Jewish’ feelings on their part. Again, while this may seem like a reasonable thing to do in a court case, what has to be considered is that this particular creature has a history of going to ridiculous and irrational lengths when it comes to this topic. Given what passes for ‘anti-Semitism’ in the great mind’s eye resting atop the infamous New World Order pyramid with all its Kabalistic symbolism, anything (including a prospective juror saying that spying for Israel against America constitutes criminal activity) could easily fall within the parameters of ‘Jew hatred’ and as such (in the event they are indeed convicted) be used in claiming victim status for the accused. Any doubts that Judge Ellis has been feeling the heat from all the usual suspects over the enormity of this case should be tempered after considering how he (Ellis) spoke sympathetically to convicted spy Franklin before giving him the federally-mandated minimum sentence, saying &#8220;I accept your explanation that you didn&#8217;t want to hurt the United States and that you are a loyal American.”</p>
<p align="justify">And if all this weren’t bad news enough by itself, there is recent and past history to consider as well. Following in the footsteps of his predecessor Bill Clinton, (who pardoned Mossad agent Marc Rich on his last day in office) there is George Bush and his commuting the sentence of well-known Mossad operative Irving ‘Scooter” Libby’s. With this as a model there is no reason to believe Bush wouldn’t do the same with respect to the two Israeli spies Rosen and Weissman.</p>
<p align="justify">Of course, again this is all based on the assumption that the trial will take place at all. Keep in mind that Michael Mukasey, an orthodox Jew who was directly involved in sending back to Israel a whole gaggle of Mossad agents immediately following 9/11 (including the infamous ‘High-Fivers’ seen filming the destruction of the Twin Towers and cheering) has been made head of the US justice Department. As such, with a simple phone call he can shut down the trial with all the ease it take to order a take-out pizza. Needless to say, Mukasey being made the nation’s highest law enforcement officer portends the worst, and particularly with regards to the issue of Israeli espionage against America. Given that he decides who and what will be investigated, it is not hard to imagine FBI counter-espionage teams being pulled off of vital cases involving Israel in order to catch whale poachers in Alaska.</p>
<p align="justify">When once speaking about AIPAC, accused spy Steve Rosen compared it to a ‘night flower’ that ‘thrives in the dark and withers in the light of day’. He was not speaking poetically as much as accurately, and he knew it. If Americans knew the extent to which their nation has been plunged into the bloody affairs of Middle East politics, including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the gathering storm involving Iran and Syria as a result of this lobby’s influence they would burn down the headquarters and run its members out of the country. Excepting something truly apocalyptic taking place, this trial may be the last chance for Americans to wake up to the danger they face as a result of this lobby’s influence over their nation’s affairs. Anything less than justice being served will result in increased spying on America, both in terms of activity and aggressiveness, increased false flag operations and whatnot. Having no reason to fear the US Justice system, Jonathon Pollards will be crawling out of the wood work like termites boring into the load-bearing beams of the US national security apparatus.</p>
<p align="justify">With all this in mind, let all Americans hope and pray that the same omnipotent and merciful God invoked by men such as George Washington still lends an ear to the prayers of good patriots who recognize the danger that their beloved nation faces and that His hand will guide events accordingly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="4"></p>
<p align="justify"><span id="more-48"></span>On Dec.3, falling almost squarely between the day that Americans give thanks to God for all their blessings and the day that the world’s Christians and Muslims celebrate the birth of Jesus, the 16 most important organs within the US intelligence apparatus released declassified portions of the NIE or National Intelligence Estimate. Given the rhetoric of the last few years, what this report has to say is explosive, and that is putting it mildly. Prepared mainly by the CIA, two of the key points of this report are as follows&#8211;</p>
<p><em></p>
<p align="justify">&#8220;We judge that in fall 2003, Tehran halted its nuclear weapons program…</p>
<p align="justify">&#8220;We assess with moderate confidence Tehran has not restarted its nuclear weapons program as of mid-2007&#8230;</p>
<p></em></p>
<p align="justify">In essence, this report is a contradiction the size of Mt. Sinai to everything that the Bush administration and the Jewish support groups that pull his strings have been saying for the past several years with regards to Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Beginning with Bush’s speech immediately following 9/11 (where he labeled Iran as being part of the axis of evil, warning that any day now America would go up in a mushroom cloud) and on an almost hourly basis since then the world has been subjected to a seemingly inexhaustible amount of propaganda, from Bushites on the Neocon talk radio circuit, warlords in Israel’s Knesset and all the various operatives working for Jewish interests here in the US, including the likes of Normon Podhoretz, Daniel Pipes, Michael Ledeen et al.</p>
<p align="justify">Now however, sanity seems to have gotten hold of at least a few in the intelligence community who recognize that the United States stands at the abyss and is faced with its own extinction in the event that the present Zionist-engineered war widens to include Iran.</p>
<p align="justify">Lest the reader assume that the NIE is just some ‘piece of paper’ (as George Bush is alleged to have once disparagingly said about the US Constitution) rest assured it is not. According to the CIA (the organization charged with most of the nation’s intelligence analysis) the NIE is the most authoritative written judgment concerning a particular national security issue. Unlike current intelligence papers that describe the present, most NIEs forecast future developments and address their implications for the United States in terms of military, technological, economic and political trends. The various branches of the Federal Government that contribute to it include the departments of Justice and Treasury, the National Security Agency and the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency, just to name a few. In short, it is the best that America’s best is capable of producing in terms of actionable intelligence.</p>
<p align="justify">Given that the rug has been pulled out of the effort to get American involved in a war with Iran, the reaction from all the usual characters is not in the least bit surprising. Bush, (the ‘recovering’ alcoholic who thinks that God whispers in his ear) like some gambler who refuses to believe that his pair of jokers did not beat his opponent’s royal flush is not backing down. Having pulled a skunk out of his black magic hat rather than a rabbit, his response is in effect that ‘Although Iran halted her program in 2003, that doesn’t mean she couldn’t start it back up again’. As of the moment of this writing VP Cheney (who was reported trying to suppress the release of the NIE as far back as six months ago) and his people are quiet as a church mice in a room full of hungry cats.</p>
<p align="justify">Both in Israel and the US, the blind supporters of the Jewish state and her mad agenda are howling with a mixture of panic and outrage. From official circles such as PM Olmert and Defense Minister Barak Israel has done everything except declare the report the product of a group of incompetent nincompoops. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni (despite her being quoted off-the-record recently saying that Iranian nuclear weapons pose no existential threat to Israel) said of the NIE <em>&#8220;The world cannot accept a nuclear Iran…Tehran&#8217;s adamant pursuit of a nuclear weapon has been proven and it is clear to all that it continues with its efforts to obtain this technology.”</em></p>
<p align="justify">Here in America, Israel and her supporters are doing everything except rend their robes in the same way the High Priest Caiaphas did before sentencing Jesus of Nazareth to die for daring to oppose the Jewish supremacist agenda in His own day. They are using all the familiar charges of ‘appeasement’ and ‘backing down’ from the divinely-imposed duty of ‘protecting the Jewish people from annihilation at the hands of the new Hitler,’ Ahmadinejhad. The one thing they have not done YET (but give them time) is to allege the NIE’s analysis is all the result of ‘Islamo-Fascist’ agents and spies who have penetrated America’s most sensitive intelligence agencies, having pushed out Israel and her Judeo-fascist agents and spies that have already been there for quite some time.</p>
<p align="justify">Watchers of political events must ask a few questions concerning this recent development, and particularly when calling to mind that it was these same intelligence agencies playing an instrumental part in providing George Bush and his war machine with the necessary pretext for invading Iraq., not the least of which is ‘Why?’ as well as ‘Why now?”</p>
<p align="justify">The best answer to both is the one most obvious and easy to understand, and deals with the most primal of all instincts, which is survival. The individuals and agencies charged with doing America’s intelligence work are privy to information that the most curious of Americans could only dream of acquiring. They know full-well the unprecedented and irreversible disaster that will take place in the event America widens this war to include Iran. They see a nuclear-armed Russia sitting next door and the fact that Putin and his ‘United Russia’ party (elected with an overwhelming majority the very same day the NIE was released) are wildly popular amongst the Russian people and will not be pushed around by America and Israel. The authors of the NIE see a potential mutiny brewing in the US military, one small piece of evidence being the remarks recently made by Adm. William Fallon (commander of all forces in the Middle East tasked with any Iranian attack) that an attack on Iran would not take place under his watch. They see the declining value of the dollar and the fact that it has lost over 30% of its value since the war in Iraq began, and tied directly to world opinion of America’s increasing political instability.</p>
<p align="justify">In short, what the authors of the NIE are trying to do is prevent the last nail being hammered into America’s coffin that an attack on Iran would bring by those intent upon destroying what was once the bastion of freedom and prosperity. Fear of losing one’s job does not begin to compare with the fear of having one’s nation go up in smoke&#8211;literally&#8211;that would ensue from the future madness envisioned by Zionism’s most ardent fanatics. Thus, those who in the recent past were content with their roles as highly-paid and well-tailored yes men, willing to give the would-be emperor and his band of warlords falsified information in order to convict a nation that was already condemned to death are now willing to risk wrestling the lion if it is the only chance of surviving the ordeal.</p>
<p align="justify">However, as much as America and the rest of the world may be breathing a sigh of relief over the recently released NIE, a few things should be kept in mind, which, borrowing from an old adage, can be summed up thus&#8211;‘It ain’t over till it’s over’.</p>
<p align="justify">The madmen intent upon waging war against a billion and a half people in the Muslim world will not be deterred by a few inconvenient words written on a few pages by a few men working for a few intelligence agencies. The Neocons who nurse what is a well-proven and irrational fanaticism when it comes to Israel have demonstrated over and over again that they will not be deterred from getting their way. Not able to achieve what they wanted 40 years ago when they attacked (but failed to sink) the USS Liberty they were able to achieve on September 11, 2001, namely bringing America into Israel’s dirty wars. Right now they have come closer to achieving what they have wanted these last 2,000 years and counting&#8211;meaning world-wide domination&#8211;than ever before in history, and what this means is that they are desperate, and desperate men do desperate things.</p>
<p align="justify">This being the case, and given Americans’ increasing opposition to Israel’s wars in the Middle East, look for something catastrophic to take place, and probably not as far in the future as some might hope during this season of advent as Christians and Muslims prepare to celebrate the birth of the man who devoted 3 years of his life to fighting the Jewish extremist warlords of his own day. And while people should be grateful for every blessing bestowed upon them by the beneficence of a merciful Almighty and hope for the best, at the same time they should also prepare for the worst when dealing with an institutionalized evil such as Zionism and its supporters who, as has already been demonstrated, are capable of doing anything to anyone, anytime, anywhere.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="4"></p>
<p align="justify"><span id="more-47"></span>The truth is, as much as I knew it was for his own good, I hated seeing the look on his face…It was a mixture of many emotions on his part, and none of them positive&#8211;shock, confusion, sadness, bewilderment, worry, a little bit of anger, but not <em>too</em> much…</p>
<p align="justify">He was trying to make some kind of sense of it all, the fact that the ‘Reverend’ Pat Robertson&#8211;one of his heroes&#8211;had just recently given his personal endorsement to Rudy Giuliani’s presidential campaign, something that was obviously a kick in the gut to him personally. Having been to my friend’s house many times I knew from experience that he hung on every word that Robertson and his colleagues&#8211;Falwell, Hagee, et al&#8211;said without question. Their word was as good as gold or even&#8211;more to the point&#8211;good as God. On nearly every occasion I can remember being over there, he had one of these faith-based programs on the TV, squawking every waking moment as if it were music from heaven itself. Sometimes I would have to wait 10-15 minutes for whatever was taking place on that program to finish before my older friend would pay me any mind. He seemed to think that somehow by having it on, whether he or anyone else in the house was watching or not, somehow it brought God into the home and made it more of a holy, Christian place.</p>
<p align="justify">I never said anything about my personal feelings for these guys, for no other reason than that I knew it wouldn’t do any good. My friend, well-intentioned as he was, nevertheless was under their spell and it was obvious from the few things he said that this spell was not about to be broken anytime soon by any well-reasoned arguments on my part.</p>
<p align="justify">I was always sickened by them, the various con men. Sometimes I would sit there and silently watch them, their performances and their shticks, hollering and yelling, sometimes at the top of their lungs and making a mockery of what should be the decency of Jesus’ teachings. I once watched Benny Hinn (in what had to have been a ridiculously-expensive white suit and rings of enormous size on every one of his fingers) as he was ‘healing’ some old gal by taking the Holy Spirit and throwing it at her like it was a baseball and he a big-league pitcher. She fell down backwards and was carted off the stage, ‘healed’…</p>
<p align="justify">There were many other such instances I saw on his TV that caused a lot of embarrassment to me, since I am a Christian as well but which (no doubt as a defense mechanism) I have forgotten.</p>
<p align="justify">My friend John believed all of it, however. He never doubted that any of it was 110% true. Whether it was Hagee, Falwell, LaHaye, Parsley, Olstein or the one gal with eyelashes as big as the moustache on Groucho Marx, he swallowed every word they said as if it were the infamous water-turned-to-wine at the wedding feast of Cana…</p>
<p align="justify">…and particularly when it dealt with Israel, the ‘war on terror,’ Islam, Armageddon, the Rapture or whatnot. During times where one of these topics popped up, he would step out of his normally-sedate character momentarily and get really animated, mimicking the hand gestures and catch phrases he had learned from the pros while watching their programs.</p>
<p align="justify">He was in love with the whole Armageddon thing and the fact that there was death and horrible suffering attached to it for others meant nothing. He reminded me of the time when the movie <em>Star Wars</em> had first come out and some of the kids who had gone overboard on it. They were completely drawn into the lore of the film, had book bags and lunch boxes with characters drawn on them and instead of paying attention in class would stencil pictures all day long of Darth Vader, X-Wing fighters and the Death Star.</p>
<p align="justify">Unfortunately, John was like that as well when it came to the whole ‘end times’ business. He looked forward to it, the fantasy of the script of it al that he had memorized from the ‘Left Behind’ books and films, and his enthusiasm for it was not unlike the way a baseball fan looks forward to attending the World Series at the end of the season.</p>
<p align="justify">Today, however, running into him at the gas station up the road, it was obvious he was going through a serious crisis of faith. I had not seen him in this kind of mood before. In the past when there were times that some bad news had erupted that cast George Bush’s war in a bad light, he would usually be able to spin it in some way that turned it on its ear. He denied that Abu Ghraib was real, saying that the liberal media had made it up. Dittos with Iraq’s WMD’s that were never found&#8211;they WERE found, it’s just that a cover-up was taking place, orchestrated by the Democrats and the ‘Moozlims.’</p>
<p>Today was different though, because he had heard it right from the mouth of the horse’s ass himself, meaning Pat Robertson. There could be no claiming that this was a media lie, because earlier in the day, there was Robertson, big as life, as always, announcing it to the world.</p>
<p><em>‘You hear about Robertson endorsing Giuliani?’ </em>he asked me, with hands in his front pants pockets. I just nodded my head and bit my tongue to prevent my launching into a big hairy discussion in front of the regular unleaded. As I nodded my head, he looked down, shook his head in disgust and lightly kicked a few stones at his feet.</p>
<p>Seeing him there as he came to grips with the ugly truth was like watching myself many years ago as I personally came to the same conclusions. When I first came to understand what was happening to America, I flocked to all the same watering holes that John did, the Limbaughs, Robertsons, etc. Later, finding out that they were nothing more than the same false prophets and wolves in sheep’s clothing that Jesus warned about was a hard pill to swallow. Now, it was like watching an addict as they begin the process of drying out and begin to show signs of withdrawal. They are uncomfortable, fidgety, nervous, etc, and despite the fact that you know it is for their own good, nevertheless simple human compassion demands that you feel for them to some degree.</p>
<p align="justify">On a personal level, I understood his feelings all too well…Here was Pat Robertson&#8211;as I said, one of his heroes&#8211;endorsing Rudy Giuliani, the guy who had been married 3 times (once to his own cousin), had an extra-marital affair, once dressed up like a woman and marched in the Gay Pride parade in New York City, supported gun control, the militant gay agenda, abortion, you name it. If it was something conservative Christians were against, Giuliani was for it and without apologies. The only substantive difference between a guy like Rudy Giuliani and Bill Clinton is that one was named Rudy Giuliani and the other one was named Bill Clinton.</p>
<p align="justify">I told my friend John a few weeks earlier that Giuliani was going to be the one getting the nomination from the Grand Old Party and would probably be elected president as well. I also predicted that at least a few of the leaders from the ‘Religious Right’ would come out and stand by him rather than a man like Ron Paul, a genuine conservative Christian and would use as their excuse for doing so the old tried-and-true line <em>‘anybody, even Giuliani, was better than Hillary’</em>. John’s response to that was <em>‘No way in hell America’s Christians would support Giuliani.’</em></p>
<p align="justify">And now he was a little bit shaken, both because of the shock itself in hearing Robertson come out and support a weasel like Giuliani and the fact that I had been proven right. No doubt in his mind he was worrying about other predictions I had made over the years that I might be right about as well.</p>
<p align="justify">You see, John and I had been going round and round on the issue of the war and politics for years. Despite the fact that we are both Christians of the ultra-conservative variety, we are servants of two different masters. He loves George Bush and I hate him. He thinks the war is a great thing and I think it’s an abomination. He thinks Israel is God’s handiwork and I say it’s the Devil’s stepson. He believes that Islam is a religion of hate and that Judaism is just an unfinished form of Christianity and I believe that Islam is a religion of peace and that Judaism and Christianity are as similar to each other as the lion and the lamb.</p>
<p align="justify">Furthermore, I had spent an incalculable amount of time explaining to John certain unpleasant facts concerning this war and Israel in general&#8211;about Israel’s beginning, the fact that the principle players involved in setting up this little experiment in Jewish self-rule were atheists from the Soviet Union, terrorists who possessed a visceral hatred for everyone not from the tribe and who had no desire to be ‘closer to God’ by being in the Holy Land, but rather because they needed a hangout if they ever got into trouble. He would quote John Hagee and I would quote the Talmud. He would talk about 72 virgins and I would repeat what Jesus had to say about the Jewish leadership being children of the devil and destined for hell. On a more political level, I would talk about all the dirty tricks Israel has played against the US over the years, including things that resulted in the deaths of Americans, including her attack on the USS Liberty, the bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon in 1982 and the mother of them all, 9/11.</p>
<p align="justify">In the end, ‘it didn’t matter,’ according to John. ‘Jesus was coming back soon’ and he and the other believers were going to be raptured while I and the others who were against the war and against the Republicans and against George Bush and against Israel and for the terrorists were going to be stuck here to deal with the anti-Christ and that was that.</p>
<p align="justify">Now, however, with Robertson signing on with Giuliani, a wrinkle had emerged in John’s perfectly-planned schedule as far as heaven and hell were concerned. Now, with Robertson joining the rat pack it had become apparent that all that stuff the ‘good Reverend’ had said over the years, all the wailing over America’s moral demise really meant nothing to him, that they were just empty words and that he was willing to throw his support behind someone for the highest office in the land who was the epitome of everything that Christians are supposed to oppose.</p>
<p align="justify">And the thing that was the source of all of the betrayal, of the complete turnaround and about face was a simple, six-letter word…ISRAEL.</p>
<p align="justify">Whether it is something that John realized or not, this is the reason for Robertson’s betrayal today and what will be the betrayal on the part of the rest of them tomorrow&#8211;Israel. The reason why traditional conservative Christian values concerning family, country, children, marriage, whatnot and why what is left of these values will take a back seat and eventually be flushed down the toilet under a Giuliani presidency is because of one word&#8211;Israel. With Robertson joining ranks with the man ranked numero uno in Israel in terms of American candidates for the presidency, what he was saying is that the well-being of this nation known as Israel&#8211;founded on an unequivocal, institutionalized enmity to Christianity&#8211;was more important than his own nation and his own faith. Robertson is more worried about Israel’s wars being fought for her than the cultural war taking place for America’s soul.</p>
<p align="justify">And what John was wrestling with that day is this thing known as cognitive dissonance, whether he realized it or not. Not a particularly well-educated man, nevertheless deep down he understood certain things, one of which is that a man cannot serve two masters, just as Jesus Himself said when warning people about His enemies in the Jewish community of His own day.</p>
<p align="justify">The tragedy of it all is that it was THIS that caused him to open his eyes. The fact that 2 million innocent Iraqis have lost their lives did not do it, nor that the country has been completely destroyed. All that has taken place in the last century with respect to what the Jews have done to the Arabs&#8211;both Christian and Muslim&#8211;in places such as Palestine, Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, etc, their lives destroyed and the region once known as the Holy Land being turned into a place of violence, vice and a new international headquarters for organized crime and that Israel was the cause of it all meant nothing. The fact that America’s political, social and cultural institutions have been hijacked by a band of thieves, liars and murderers all working in collusion for the benefit of a gangster nation known as Israel&#8211;destroyed by the merciful hand of God some 2,000 years ago&#8211;did not do it.</p>
<p align="justify">No, it was the fact that Pat Robertson threw his chips in with Rudy Giuliani who might take away his guns and keep prayer out of public school, equivalent to a person sleeping like a baby as his town is being bombed into oblivion, but waking up to the sound of his alarm clock.</p>
<p align="justify">Will this be the beginning of John ‘drying out’ and cleansing his system from the Zionist poison that was infused into his soul by the likes of Robertson, Falwell, Limbaugh, Hannity, et al?</p>
<p align="justify">Only the Good Lord knows. As any recovering alcoholic or drug addict will tell you, you are never really ’healed’ of your addiction. There is always that temptation to wander back to your favorite poison, to pay a visit to your favorite mistress for a few minutes.</p>
<p align="justify">In the meantime, the rest of us should be thankful for those times such as what recently took place with Robertson, where he takes off the sheep’s clothing for a few minutes to reveal the fact that deep down he is nothing but a predator out for our destruction and hope that others&#8211;in recognizing this reality, will run back to the safety of the Sheppard rather than running with the dogs, understanding that&#8211;despite what the Zionists may tell us today with all their fancy media magic&#8211;a man cannot serve two masters.</p>
