Last week we passed along a report from Joshua Ruebner about his efforts to attend the House Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and
Related Programs “mark-up” session on the FY2010 budget. He was interested because they were supposed to discuss the United States sending Israel $2.775 billion in weapons for FY2010. Unfortunately, he wasn't even allowed in to the session.
Well, yesterday Ruebner tried again. The budget is now in front of the full House Appropriations committee, but Ruebner, and other US citizens wanting to see how their tax money is being spent, were not allowed in again. Here's a brief video that was shot after waiting to get in for two hours:
In the end, the House Appropriations Committee voted to recommend $2.775 billion in military aid for Israel without any debate. The one bright spot is that when a few observers were finally allowed in the room, this is what they found:
This is what it’s come to: the two-party regime, locking Americans out of their own “democratic” process. This is Orwellian totalitarianism in gestation. American Leviathan and its string pullers have a mind, code of conduct and agenda all their own, none of which conform to the Constitution. And average Americans are no longer welcome to contribute their opinions about any of it. But they are expected to undergird and underwrite it all with their labor and taxes, and perpetuate it by selling their children into debt service slavery. Got a problem with that, Herr Comrade? Maybe you’d like to file a complaint with the Stasi.
Why is this not discussed on USA mainstream TV? Iran is all over it. But nothing on this heavy investment by US dollars and lives? Obama? He's got MItchell one one side and Dennis Ross on the other
Trying to get this seen, posted in the entry about Israeli activism in relation to the Iranian election protests: Fascist scumbag Israelis protesting aide being sent into Gaza in solidarity with a SOLDIER, Gilad Shalit: http://www.imemc.org/article/57691 Meanwhile, thousands of Palestinian CIVILIANS are held in Israel's 'detention centers' and are regularly tortured. Oh and Israel routinely kidnaps Palestinian children: http://www.imemc.org/article/57691 Typical Zionist double standard. Sanctimonious scum.
Hilarious (for how frustrating it is)…and all the more reason to overwhelm our elected reps with meeting requests during the August recess. Let them know that the seats in their offices aren't going to be reserved for AIPAC anymore! http://www.endtheoccupation.org/modinput4.php?mod...
It seems Communism and Fascism have finally synthesized in the Washington Big Government amalgamation, all under the tutelage of Zionists and their conscientious collaborators of Statist Left and Right. And they accomplished it all by creating the illusion of democracy and oppositional forces in Washington, even as both parties were quite obviously working feverishly on the same Zionist agenda and “vision,” and have been for years. Obama may mean well, but he is really only serving as another elaborate layer of cover, perhaps the final smokescreen necessary to finalize the totalitarian project. At this point, it’s really all taken on a life of its own, and Washington is like a bomber on autopilot programmed to drop its payload directly on the USS American Liberty.
Communism and Facism, together again for the first time? Oh my God, run! There's a line that runs straight from Stalin through my Sabbath candles! My God, we are lost, lost! Without the saving power of the Holy Ghost, us Jews will never be nuttin except nihilists. Of course, some of us are denial, and here there's a few yidden in Denali. Given the population disparity, Ed, between the Jews and the rest of the world, how many people can each Jew control, Ed? Do I have to put, say a couple thousand poor Gentiles through all that Communism and Facism, or is the number more reasonable, like 15 or so? I'm not sure I'm up to it. Wow, there must be these really smart determined Jews somewhere, thaqt have the power to make the Goys Obey! I wonder how they do it?
Well I'm not too bright about communism or fascism or whatever, but seems to me one of my fellow citizens was denied access to a public hearing. I'll send a letter to my congressman and see what he has to say about it. I reckon this whole unconditional US support of Israel problem won't go away without making our elected officials aware that we're keeping an eye on things. 'Course we'll also have to show them the money and the votes. I sincerely hope it's all straightened out before being Jewish becomes a problem again.
Mooser, what's your point? Obviously he doesn't believe Jews control the world. Manufacturing Consent – materialist analysis of the institution known as the 'MSM'. I remember watching a YouTube video with that douche Tom Wolfe or whoever being interviewed by Moyers where he straw manned Chomsky's thesis on the propaganda model. Our country facilitates identity politics. Furthermore Jews are the most powerful ethnic group in the entertainment industry. So they contribute and have executive decision on the most material – or at least, the most relevant material to the point (mainstream 'awareness'). Naturally, they would not allow a anti-Israel movie to get mainstream coverage as a norm, right? It's not a perfect thesis but it is (like Chomsky said of his own propaganda model) a 'first approximation'. Ed has said some crazy shit before (same here) but he's not wrong to the extent that you're implying with your straw man. Ethnic identity matters and it SHOWS in our culture. I don't see why we have to be so goddamn politically correct when the line is crossed from tolerance and even survival to domination and conquest.
Communism and fascism aren't the same thing. Otherwise Franco's troops and the Spanish Republicans would have embraced, not slaughtered each other. Why do you always cloud the issue, Ed?
This is our so-called representative of the people Democracy that would rather point the finger at our adversaries….
Witty's grabbed the laurels in that department.
Louis Ferdinand "Céline is considered one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century, developing a new style of writing that modernized both French and World literature. He remains, however, a controversial figure because of anti-Semitic statements published in 1937 and during the Second World War." This is one of the things he said, "Democracy is always and above all nothing but the veil of the Jewish Dictatorship" – Trifles For A Massacre- pg. 35. I'm not saying I agree, I'm only relating what one of the great minds of the twentieth century thought about democracy.
Translation: Well, if he's a "great mind" and all, why not agree?
Look Mooser, there use to be a WASP establishment. Does anybody deny it? Does Phil's wife? Why get on Ed's case for pointing out what everyone on this blog knows? Certainly if there is one ultra-strong bipartisan issue in the land of Two Parties it is Israel. That's the point of this blog, the USA needs some sunshine if it wants to continue to live up to its higher nature? And I'm not even mentioning the economy and the Israel drain there, or the UN Vetos, etc. Everybody here also knows special interest lobbies control Congress. The way to control Congress is through the giant hole in the campaign finance laws, through the medieval central banking system, the Pravdaesque web called MSM; money and manipulation of output of the media industry. No shocker there. You deny that Israel is essentially a fascist state? If so, tell us why. You deny a very disproportionate number of the Bolshevik leaders (not the lackeys) were Jewish? Especially the Bolshevik secret police, and the red army, and the Bolshevik succession of legislator agencies? If so, explain. In the past you've been quite explicit as to your view that Poles and Ukranians were anti-semitic, there pogroms originating in simple anti-semitism; we can assume all the nations that ever kicked out the jews were also simple Jew-haters–out of the blue. Surely you also know that in every case they were first invited in, and given a special socio-economic role by the goy elite–along with great privileges none of the goy masses had. So, what's to not understand about Ed's suggestions this is not all old hat? Why shouldn't he be frustrated? There's nothing new to the formula–the diaspora jews have never amounted to much by way of total population in their host nations, but study the disproportionate number of jews in all influential careers in government and private industry throughout history. It's always the same. You make a joke. But in the short run mostly goys sufferer–and in the long run, when the masses are allowed to awake, the relatively poor jews suffer. It's a fact of history. You know it. That's actually why you yourself are a critic of Israeli policy and AIPAC policy. You are an anti-Zionist yourself, judging by many of your comments on this blog. Ed's no anti-semite. But he points out historical patterns. He knows not all Italians were or ever are part of the Mafia. Good Italians were and are against the Mafia. You should follow suit. If you can't air dirty laundry here, where can you? OH, BTW, surely you know a lot of Jews were onboard with Mussolini until Hitler forced Mussolini to crack down on Jews, right?
Ya Reckon? We gonna be a-needing a Final Solution, hoss?
They were the same in that they both humiliated and murdered whole blocks of innocents–and the same in that they each had their code language to manipulate the masses who both isms always did their best to keep ignorant. You need to get beyond ideological platforms, whether Communist, Nazi, or Zionist, or even Republican or Democrat, and look at real history. I suggest you start reading beyond college textbooks. Ed is not cloudy at all.
Celine was a very complicated figure. As was Ezra Pound, another literary genius. Of course you would actually have to read their novels and poems to know this–good literature is much more complicated than political discourse. Politicians prefer Star Wars, and so do the masses. BTW he was a doctor not unlike Ron Paul.
Some think they are. A. James Gregor for one in THE FACES OF JANUS: MARXISM AND FASCISM IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. http://www.janushead.org/3-2/rua.cfm
An educated Citizen…one of a very few. You're not really an American are you Citizen? ;-)
ditto Ezra Pound, another great mind
"Why do you always cloud the issue, Ed?" Why do you always insist on limiting discussion of the Zionist problem within the left-wing framework? Far from clouding the issue, I illuminate it by pointing up the left-wing component. It is those who deny or ignore the left-wing component (for example, the fact that 20% of elected Dems in the US Senate are Jewish Zionists) who end up clouding the issue by omission. The Zionist problem isn't simply a right-wing phenomenon, the Israel lobby has tentacles deep into both parties and has traditionally been strongest in the left half of the two-party regime, and so the solution will require a comprehensive examination. Lefties who studiously ignore the left half of the equation out of ideological motives are in ideological and intellectual denial as deeply as are most Zionists.
Mooser is just trying to stereotype my arguments as feverish conspiracy theory or “Bircher“-like paranoia, which itself is the stereotypical lazy man’s way of “winning” a debate. Notice how he regularly transforms my criticism of Zionism and political Judaism to an attack on “the Jews,” even as he routinely ridicules hard Jewish Zionists who pull the same nasty trick. Guess what, Mooser? When you’re in a war with a malicious, commu-fascist ideology that has sprung forth primarily from a specific ethnicity whose overwhelming majority of members are big Zionist supporters, the rules of political correctness fall by the wayside. Sorry to offend you’re delicate Jewish sensitivities, but no one much cares about those anymore thanks to Jewish-racist mass murder.
If you look at the background, including the family background of most neocons–they were always on the left except when it came to Israel, where they have always been on the right… Geez, wake up and look at the obvious– do you expect all on this blog to be ignorant? Shows what respect you have for goy brains. None at all. So, what's new, bubala?
Uh oh – dual loyalty's a-calling: http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=124437... This explains much.
Hi, Laurie, actually I am, born and bred American citizen. I've been resisting the propaganda all my life. I am about two-thirds Irish and one third Germanic. Although I have a JD, with a European and American Lit undergrad degree, most of what I know salient on this blog comes from my independent research. Believe it or not, I am not alone. Though I feel so most of the time. I deeply resent my country's highest values being murdered by a handful of people. The same ones who have bankrupted the USA and put our future generations into indentured servitude.
What about the dictatorship of capital, which is the authority we live under?
Boy, I wish I was an American. Then I could be free too. Like in the movies.
Held in detention centers? Yes, civilians? Mostly not. Members of Hamas and other terrorist organizations are not civilians. Tortured? Nope. I found a news report about human rights groups talking about "torture". Among the forms of torture listed were "unappetizing food" (Terry Nichols is suing over that very torture right now), and not giving the prisoners exercise (no mention of anything stopping them from exercising in their cells). Another report I saw had this Palestinian woman who got a light sentence of 6 years for attempting to kidnap someone. Her intended victim would probably have ended up being murdered, but that wasn't in the article. She complained about the absolutely shocking torture of not letting them watch al-Jezeera on television but only allowing them to watch al-Arabia. The horror, the horror. Oh, and she complained that she was put in with Jewish criminals (prostitutes, etc.). I'm shocked, shocked that someone in prison for her beliefs (specifically her belief that she could get away with kidnapping and whatever she planned for after that) was put in the same jail as prostitutes. Of course the prisoners' stories also included beatings, but the Palestinians and their supporters are known liars. Once you have lied to turn a missile strike into a "pick five or your ten children to be murdered in cold blood right in front of you", lying about a beating isn't a big stretch. So some Palestinian terrorist attacks a guard and is injured as a result, think he is going to admit it? Not when his injuries can be used for propaganda purposes. Or they can just make up beatings that never happened. The human rights groups were just parroting whatever propaganda the Palestinian prisoners were spewing. So basically the conclusions based on the Palestinian propaganda have no more credibility coming from the human rights groups than from the original sources.
He might have been a great writer but he also helped to lay the intellectual groundwork for the Nazi crimes as other French writers did.. As the distinguished Anglo-Polish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman said in an interview with Ulrich Bielefeld:: "French anti-Semitism was much livelier than in Germany before Hitler. The first really anti-Semitic pamphlet, which strongly influenced the development of modern anti-Semitism, was Louis Drumont’s La France Juive. The first person to write that Jews should be burnt in ovens and be gassed, was the Frenchman Céline. Nobody in Germany wrote about incinerating Jews. They did finally incinerate the Jews but nobody wrote about it.."
Oh, you posted the wrong link. The one you posted was about kids being arrested, not abducted. See, when you commit a crime, and the police come and take you away, that is called "being arrested". The kids in your article were obstructing traffic (bulldozers lawfully knocking over condemned houses), so they were arrested. They are probably back home by now having failed to learn a valuable lesson. Oh, as for the humanitarian aid being blocked because the Palestinians refuse to release Gilad Shalit, or let the Red Cross see him, or follow other POW rules required by the "international laws" that they love so much when they (falsely) claim Israel is breaking them. Well, they should reciprocate. Until Israel returns the Palestinian prisoners, Gaza should refuse to export anything into Israel. Of course, since their main exports are missiles and suicide bombers, Israel might not mind that so much.
Oh, so your a genocidal, anti-Semitic prophet who thinks she speaks for God. Interesting.
A JD, but you didn't understand the difference between civil and criminal contempt? Wait, odd way of putting it. Most people would have just said "I'm a lawyer". Are you a lawyer, did you fail the bar, or did you get disbarred? Wait, you're not that whack-job that got disbarred for repeatedly suing judges who ruled against him are you?
Hey, there are people who say you are an anti-Semitic scumbag who should be sent to prison for the rest of your filthy, stinking, life. I'm not saying I agree, I'm only relating what some people say.
I think something larger is called for. Like one of those million man marches right up the steps of the capitol and into every office and chamber. Let the world see congress ordering the DC police to fire on or pummel American citizens trying to get represented and heard by their government. I might even make common cause with the Glen Beck revolutionaries if they would agree to that.
That photo makes me sick, Strahl. I despise Israel more and more. I wonder how many people know about this incident early on in Israel's history. Just another dirty secret. http://www.somaliuk.com/Forums/index.php?action=p... There are lots of sources on this but how many Americans have heard of it? I say nada. You know, these Zionists have a lot of nerve to even bring up Hitler and "their holocaust." It should become illegal for Zionists to say "holocaust" in reference to themselves.
Thom, before you get on your high horse, please research "facility 1391", the notorious prison in Israel, where Red Cross has been trying to see prisoners for years.
Even though you got bung a rung here Mooser, I still thought it was funny.
Perhaps Arie you could point out to me where in Celine's work he says this. I see where you found this quote, but Bauman simply makes the statement, I would like to see it in Celine's writing. It's possible I just haven't come across it yet. Bauman is a Polish Jew who went to England to escape Polish anti-antisemitism Wiki reports. He may have a bit of the Elie Weasel syndrome where "true lies" are acceptable. http://www.pucp.edu.pe/invest/ridei/pdfs/Ulrich_Bielefel... target=”_blank”>http://www.pucp.edu.pe/invest/ridei/pdfs/Ulrich_Bielefel...
'antisemitism' not anti-antisemitism.
Well, keep up the good work Citizen. I'm just a middle aged woman interested in history (which really should scare the hell out of our alienated elite).
I am a member of two state bars, Illinois and New York. And you?
Celine's novels are fascinating; if you read them you get a good feeling of the underbelly of the times, increasingly delivered in misanthropic slang and diatribes against all groups and classes of people as he viewed them from the intelligent gutter snipe perspective and through the eyes of his many characters. He hated any type of hypocrisy, gave you the truth as he saw it–he never relented until his dying day. His work operates on many, many levels. Here's a short summary about him: http://folkandfaith.com/smf/index.php?action=prin...
We did that 40 years ago. Were you there? Could've used the numbers: http://endtheoccupation.org/article.php?id=2152
Two bars, not saying which. Notice to anyone reading this: I am not your lawyer. Nothing I say here should be taken as legal advice. Nothing you say to me is confidential or protected by attorney client privilege. If you rely on what anyone says on a blog instead of getting your own lawyer, you are an idiot. @citizen. So how come you didn't know the difference between civil and criminal contempt?
Thanks for the link. I know Ginsberg & Reck (I don't know about Russell) claim EP recanted his 'antisemitism' but this just does not ring true to me. Pound thought out his positions carefully. I just can't buy that on a subject as politically charged as this he would change his mind, particularly because of all he had gone through. If anything it would have reinforced his opinion. But having said this I also believe the government drove or made his unstable in ST. E's. Olga would have known what he thought, but we probably never will.
