Two Morons: Bush and Saakashvili

The neoconned Bush Regime and the Israeli-occupied American media are heading the innocent world toward nuclear war.

Back in the Reagan years the National Endowment for Democracy was created as a cold war tool. Today the NED is a neocon-controlled agent for US world hegemony. Its main function is to pour US money and election-rigging into former constituent parts of the Soviet Union in order to ring Russia with American puppet states.

Thank God for the Death of the Warmongering Party!

George W. Bush’s second term has witnessed the great unraveling of the Republican coalition. After nearly two generations of political dominance, the Republican coalition has rapidly disintegrated under the stress of Bush’s failures and the Republicans’ scandals and disgrace. The Democrats have the greatest possible opening in more than a generation – potentially. They should pay strict attention to how Bush has swiftly undone Republican strengths as an object lesson.

Pro-Israel PACs Swett It Out in New Hampshire

As part of their continuing campaign to keep John Sununu out of the U.S. Senate—an effort which failed in 2002, when then-Representative Sununu (R-NH) was first elected to “the world’s greatest deliberative body”—pro-Israel PACs bestowed a whopping $44,000 on would-be Democratic opponent Katrina Swett in 2007. In case that name doesn’t ring a bell, Swett is the daughter of the late Rep. Tom Lantos (D-CA), who was one of Israel’s most ardent champions in the House. Her husband is former Rep. Dick Swett (D-NH), who, after two terms in the House and an unsuccessful Senate bid, managed to amass a respectable $95,500 in pro-Israel PAC contributions. Will Sununu’s Democratic opponent, former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen, who received $72,022 in pro-Israel PAC contributions to oppose Sununu in 2002, find it in herself to rise above the spurn?

The Jew Who Loves Us

After Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard was sentenced to life in prison in 1986, the U.S. negotiated an understanding with Israel—a “gentlemen’s agreement” —stipulating that neither nation would thenceforth conduct espionage operations in the other’s territory without consent. But the agreement was a sham from the beginning. The Israeli government didn’t even honor its commitments in the aftermath of the Pollard case, failing to return the estimated 360 cubic feet of stolen information to enable the U.S. to conduct a damage assessment. The United States, for its part, continued to recruit and run agents inside Israel throughout the 1980s and 1990s. And it was known within the intelligence and counterintelligence communities that Israel did the same in the United States. David Szady, the FBI’s assistant director for counterintelligence, was so dismayed by the level of Israeli spying in the late ’90s that he called in the head of the Israeli Embassy’s Central Institute for Intelligence and Special Activities (Mossad) office and told him, “Knock it off.”

Cycles of religiosity in USA; latest period of conservative religious influence waning?

American society periodically weathers de-cades-long storms of moral renovation set off by thunderclaps of Christian evangelism. Old spiritual and moral doctrines get reinterpreted in a new light, producing far-ranging, and not always welcome, political change. Scholars commonly refer to these tumultuous periods as “Great Awakenings.”

An Interview with Ron Paul

The only genuine conservative the Jewnited States has.

“Who the heck is Ron Paul?” asked many Americans over the course of the past year. The 70 year old, Texas Congressman’s name and face adorned web pages, blogs, email spams, posters and pamphlets throughout the nation. Out of nowhere, the Republican Presidential candidate appeared on television for the Primary debates giving blunt, hard hitting, no nonsense answers and lacerating jabs. He criticized fellow candidates for their foreign policy, corporate cronyism, and support of “big” government. His candid demeanor, especially in calling out the Administration for its failure in Iraq, helped win him over many independents, jaded Republicans, and “on the fence” liberals who found his voice a refreshing and legitimate “third option.” He dominates the Internet search engines, wins most of the online polls, maintains an overwhelming presence on Youtube, and recently scored a number one bestseller with his manifesto: “Ron Paul: The Revolution.” Through independent, grass roots activism, his campaign received over $6 million dollars making it the largest one-day fundraiser in U.S. political history.

Jews and Power

COMMENTARY

Jews and Power
By AARON DAVID MILLER

If he were a Gentile, he would be accused of “anti-Semitism” for saying what every knowledgeable person knows, namely, that Jews wield an inordinate amount of power and influence over public affairs in America, particularly as it relates to the state of Israel and strategic Jewish interests in the world. But because the writer of the following article happens to be a Jew, he need fear no such accusation, as he describes for other members of his community the contemporary reality of Jewish power. Let’s listen to him.

Warmongering Jews: Transparent, Dishonest, and Bloodthirsty

In a July, 2006 article in Rolling Stone — entitled “Iran: The Next War” — the superb journalist James Bamford detailed the shady activities of numerous neoconservatives inside and out of the U.S. Government to plan an attack on Iran. Bamford focused on the role played by Michael Ledeen of the American Enterprise Institute and National Review, who created and began implementing an attack scheme in coordination with the Pentagon’s then number-three official, Doug Feith, and Feith’s deputy, Larry Franklin (subsequently convicted of felonies for passing classified information to AIPAC).

More insider idiocy from McCain

MCCAIN AGAINST PORK, EXCEPT THE KIND HE LIKES

PROGRESS REPORT Sen. John McCain has repeatedly made a major campaign promise to veto any bill that comes to his desk as president if it contains earmarks. “I’ll veto every bill that has a pork-barrel project on it,” he has said.. McCain has failed to note, however, that earmarks have paid for projects that he supports, such as U.S. aid to Israel. Confronted with this reality this week, McCain’s campaign quickly granted an exception for Israel. McCain “will ensure America remains committed to the security of Israel, including maintaining America’s assistance levels,” a spokesperson said.

It is surprising then that McCain was unaware that his earmark plan would obliterate U.S. funding assistance for Israel. McCain’s chief economic adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin has said that McCain embraces the Congressional Research Service’s definition of the term “earmarks.” All told, $14.4 billion, or two thirds of all foreign assistance, would be eliminated if McCain stuck with this proposal.”

U.S. assistance to Israel is not the only casualty in McCain’s anti-earmark pledge. CRS’s earmark definition also includes funding for military family housing. What’s more, tens of millions in military housing are directed to McCain’s home state of Arizona. Will McCain now grant another exception for much-needed military housing, further eroding his promise to veto “every bill that has a pork barrel project?” Or will he deride it as “outrageous” Washington spending?

McCain’s earmark numbers simply do not add up, leaving two-thirds of his tax proposal unfunded.
