    Subject: SAME OLD BUSHIT

    BUSH OR HILLARY—THE SAME POLICIES, FOREIGN OR DOMESTIC.

    BUSH: SPYING ON US CITIZENS:
    New reports in the past week have revealed how extensive the illegal spying operations conducted by the Bush administration on the people of this country have been — and it started within five weeks of Bush taking office. Quest telecommunications CEO for instance, revealed that the administration had demanded the phone records of US citizens starting six months before the September 11 attack. The mass violations of civil rights and civil liberties carried out by this administration has outraged people across the United States.But not by some Senators that gave Bush a green light..

    “HILLARY’S CELL PHONE SPYING TO BE PROBED “

    Hillary Clinton over her position on government surveillance, capitalizing on allegations in a recent book that Clinton listened to a secretly recorded conversation between political opponents.
    “Hillary Clinton’s campaign hypocrisy continues to know no bounds. It is rather unbelievable that Clinton would listen in to conversations being conducted by political opponents, “Team Clinton can expect to see and hear this over and over again over the course of the next year.”
    Clinton and Bush, bow to AIPAC, accept special interest money, agreed on the WAR. Seem to agreed on dismantling the Constitution, both use illegal monitoring.
    Foreign policy the same regarding the atrocities of Israel and human rights violations, and occupation.

    VOTERS, we need change,
    not more of the same old Bushit.
    I believe we need the team of Obama & Edwards for 2008.

    Subject: SPYING OPERATIONS??

    New reports in the past week have revealed how extensive the illegal spying operations conducted by the Bush administration on the people of this country have been — and it started within five weeks of Bush taking office. Quest telecommunications CEO for instance, revealed that the administration had demanded the phone records of US citizens starting six months before the September 11 attack. The mass violations of civil rights and civil liberties carried out by this administration has outraged people across the United States. The movement for impeachment is demanding that Bush and Cheney be held accountable for their gross violations of the constitution. Impeachment is an imperative.
    The Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, UPI and other national and international media have carried major articles about the government’s creation of small flying surveillance devices that look somewhat like dragonflies.

    While there are those who would like to dismiss the implications of such spying, the fact is that if the government is intentionally conducting secret photographic or audio surveillance targeting people because they are engaged in public protest and First Amendment-protected activities, this would be a significant constitutional rights violation.
    It is important to keep in perspective this kind of government action. The government’s efforts at surveillance of the progressive movement are also intended to chill public participation in political action; they seek to intimidate their opponents. The purpose of surveillance against the anti-war movement is not to “protect” the country. Rather it is evidence that the Bush administration fears the mobilization of the people of the United States who have seen through the lies and blatantly illegal conduct of the government itself. In fact, it is unmistakable evidence that shows that the Bush White House fears the power of the people.
    Take a stand against government repression. Help this movement grow. We will not be intimidated.We will be in the streets across the country on October 27 demanding an end to the war in Iraq and the necessary impeachment of Bush, Cheney and other responsible officials for high crimes and misdemeanors.
    Vanessa Alarcon saw them while working at an antiwar rally in Lafayette Square last month.
    “I heard someone say, ‘Oh my god, look at those,’ ” the college senior from New York recalled. “I look up and I’m like, ‘What the hell is that?’ They looked kind of like dragonflies or little helicopters. But I mean, those are not insects.”
    Out in the crowd, Bernard Crane saw them, too.
    “I’d never seen anything like it in my life,” the Washington lawyer said. “They were large for dragonflies. I thought, ‘Is that mechanical, or is that alive?’ ”
    Robotic fliers have been used by the military since World War II, but in the past decade their numbers and level of sophistication have increased enormously. Defense Department documents describe nearly 100 different models in use today, some as tiny as birds, and some the size of small planes.
    All told, the nation’s fleet of flying robots logged more than 160,000 flight hours last year — a more than fourfold increase since 2003. A recent report by the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College warned that if traffic rules are not clarified soon, the glut of unmanned vehicles “could render military airspace chaotic and potentially dangerous.”
    The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service also declined to discuss the topic.
    “I don’t want people to get paranoid, but what can I say?” – “Cellphone cameras are already everywhere. It’s not that much different.”

    Hillary is not the first politician in Washington to declare “Mission Accomplished” a little too soon.

    Subject: LETTER TO THE EDITOR, FROM A DEMOCRAT

    MONEY, DONATIONS, AMERICA’S MANDATE.

    Money is a very important commodity, we have
    given and given in support of the Democrat party.

    We gave enough to regain control of congress
    2006 elections, that came with a well know
    mandate. A mandate to end the WAR, end
    the corruption in government. To reform the
    campaigns, and to prosecute the WAR crimes.

    Now you continue to ask for more money,
    while you do not do the job, paid for in advance.

    Now corporate money, foreign lobbies and
    organized crime influences you all more,
    thus our mandate goes unfulfilled.

    PLEASE, don’t ask for more, until the job
    we paid for and voted for is done.

    YES, we the people still give, we may not have the
    influence of special interest you all bow down to.

    BUT, we give to the candidates that do not take
    money from the corrupt, and consider us the
    American people their special interest. That
    will end this war, that will bring our troops home,
    that will prosecute the corrupt. That will protect
    our borders, that will respond to Americans
    needs.

    That being, a campaign of OBAMA & EDWARDS.
    If we don’t get that ticket, we do not give, we do not vote.
    WE trust no one else to take OUR country
    BACK. Honor, Integrity, True moral values,
    an agenda for America not AIPAC, that will

    That will make every attempt to fulfill the

    Hillary is not the first politician in Washington to declare “Mission Accomplished” a little too soon.

    Subject: “WAR FOR PROFIT” WILL NOT END WITH HILLARY, WHY? SPECIAL INTEREST MONEY!

    Companies awarded multi-billions in contracts to rebuild Iraq and Afghanistan has been major campaign donors to President Bush, and their executives have had important political and military connections, according to a study released.

    The study of more than 70 U.S. companies and individual contractors turned up more than $500,000 in donations to the president’s 2000 campaign, more than they gave collectively to any other politician over the past dozen years.

    Yes, 2000 campaign, the planning had begun back then.

    Even before the war in Iraq began March 20, the Bush administration was considering plans to help rebuild the country after fighting ceased. According to news reports in early March, the U.S. Agency for International Development secretly asked six U.S. companies to submit bids for a $900 million government contract to repair and reconstruct water systems, roads, bridges, schools and hospitals in Iraq.

    The six companies — Bechtel Group Inc., Fluor Corp., Halliburton Co. subsidiary Kellogg, Brown & Root, Louis Berger Group Inc., Parsons Corp. and Washington Group International Inc. — contributed a combined $3.6 million in individual, PAC and soft money donations between 1999 and 2002, the Center reported on its news site, CapitalEye.org. Sixty-six percent of that total went to Republicans.

    The size and scope of the government contracts awarded to Halliburton in connection with the war in Iraq are significantly greater than was previously disclosed and demonstrate the U.S. military’s increasing reliance on for-profit corporations to run its logistical operations. Independent experts estimate that as much as one-third of the monthly $3.9 billion cost of keeping U.S. troops in Iraq is going to independent contractors.

    In addition, the company has earned about $705 million for an initial round of oil field rehabilitation work for the Army Corps of Engineers, a corps spokesman said.

    Halliburton was headed by Vice President Dick Cheney before he resigned to run with Mr. Bush in 2000. How convenient. As convenient as Senator Wellstones death, Wellstone’s airplane lacked the usual flight data recorder and a cockpit voice recorder, even though FAA spokesman Paul Takemoto said that the plane was supposed to be so equipped.

    Another dropped investigation.

    In addition to its Iraq contracts, Brown and Root has also earned $183 million from Operation Enduring Freedom, the military name for the war on terrorism and combat operations in Afghanistan, according to the Army’s numbers.

    At the end of the day, neither these companies nor their employees are bound by military justice.

    A CONTRACTOR in Iraq has pleaded guilty to providing money, sex and designer watches to US officials in exchange for more than $US8 million ($10.8 million) in reconstruction contracts. No wonder they all want to visit so often.

    First-class air tickets, real estate lots, weapons, new four-wheel-drive vehicles, cigars, designer watches, alcohol, prostitutes at Bloom’s Baghdad villa and cash bribes, were provided.

    Robert Stein, a civilian contractor who controlled $US82 million in reconstruction funds as the comptroller for the coalition’s headquarters.

    Stein, who had a previous conviction for fraud when he was hired, pleaded guilty to accepting bribes in February. He funneled money and favors from Bloom to other officials .

    The contracts were paid with Iraqi funds held in the Development Fund for Iraq, which has been at the centre of many of the corruption scandals in Iraq. Looks like Iraqi’s are victims again of the, American “War for Profiteers”.

    “No single agency supervised the contracting process for the government,” Center executive director Charles Lewis said. “This situation alone shows how susceptible the contracting system is to waste, fraud and cronyism.”

    No one operated alone, nor did they operate with out paying Democrats also. It is just the fact that more went to Republicans. BUT corruption is corruption, appearing on both sides of the isle.

    Special interest money comes with the tag of, you now owe me, and they pay and pay. It is always the tax payer losing in the end.

    No accountability, no justice, no prosecution. No ethics or integrity.

    Who now receives the Special interest money? Have any questions? Just vote NO at the polls.

    Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Green Party, Conservative, Liberal, Black, White, Brown, Red, Yellow, Male, Female, or not sure. We are all Americans

    We need to pull together for the benefit of our Country, and to prevent more War.

    Of all the candidates to date, the most promising for the average American and our interest, instead of Corporate or Foreign lobbies, or religious state.

    Is a ticket of Obama & Edwards. Our children and their children will be paying for the mess of the last 7+ years, we have to change it.

    No other candidate can live up to the Countries expectations.

    Subject: DISFUCNTIONAL GOVERNMENT and ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

    AMERICA: NOW A DISFUCTIONAL GOVERNMENT.

    It seems that 85% of the American People are opposed to illegal immigration, and all the problems

    that it causes on us, and our Country.

    Yet, you have allowed and supported the illegal

    occupation by Israel, that illegally occupies Palestine, and Arab lands of Lebanon, Jordan, and

    Egypt. You neo-cons have supported the human rights violations for 60 years.

    You all want to call it, Christianity, that there is

    a God given right to make these decisions.

    You do not recognize the wrongs of the

    Zionist movement, Political Preachers.

    Now, we witness Catholicism supporting the

    Illegal immigation from Mexico. Support another

    Amnesty Bill, and the detection centers

    For Americans that pose decent, being built by the

    Present administration.

    What is the difference here or there, wrong is

    Wrong. Violation of our laws or international

    Laws. Should any have been ignored.

    Well now, many of us only see the hypocrisy

    of the decisions made in the interest of wealth,

    and control. We do not see any of those governments

    fascist decisions as being Moral or any real

    justification.

    We need to stop all the foreign aid to rogue states,

    such as Israel, and assist our border countries, so that they can compete from their own home land.

    We need to respect resolutions rightfully passed

    by the UN, rather then to veto them in the interest

    of special interest money received by each

    government official.

    We need complete change.

    THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT AND POLITICS,

    HAVE CHANGED DRASTICALLY, OVER THE LAST SEVEN YEARS.

    FROM: MORAL VALUES, ETHICS, AND INTEGRITY.

    TO: PROPAGANDA, RETHORIC, AND FACIST AGENDA.

    We need immediate change. We will never regain

    our standing in the World. But a little self-respect

    from our own people would be a start.

    The only way to begin is a different course, and one

    with the American peoples interest, not special

    interest groups, corporations & far right fanatics.

    Foreign or domestic as the Nations objective.

    We need Obama & Edwards for change.

    Bring our troops home, no more Wars, no more

    War for profit, or False devine doctrine policies.

    A Foreign Policy of mind our own business, let the

    Inter-national organizations take care of their business.

    A policy of complying with the Law would help the most.

    Unlike what we see each day now!!

    “The question really is whether Congress should toss out chunks of the Constitution because Mr. Bush finds them inconvenient and some Democrats are afraid to look soft on terrorism… This provision is not primarily about protecting patriotic businessmen, as Mr. Bush claims. It’s about ensuring that Mr. Bush and his aides never have to go to court to explain how many laws they’ve broken. It is a collusion between lawmakers and the White House that means that no one is ever held accountable.”

    So the White House is putting enormous pressure on Congress to give the phone companies retroactive immunity for all the laws they broke spying on innocent Americans. And some key Democrats are ready to go along!

    It is imperative that all Americans see all votes from our representatives, see all Campaign contributions taken by all.

    News reports indicate that Democratic senators agreed to give phone companies retroactive immunity after the Bush administration presented a one-sided case that these companies “acted in good faith.” Of course that is after the exchange of millions.

    That’s ridiculous. A judge appointed by President Bush Sr. wrote an opinion finding that “AT&T cannot seriously contend that a reasonable entity in its position could have believed that the alleged domestic dragnet was legal.”

    The bottom line is that President Bush is trying to cover up his own lawbreaking with this immunity.

    We need Congress to stop him. Senator Chris Dodd has courageously vowed to block this bill if the immunity provision is not taken out. We need to make sure other members of Congress come out and support his strong stand.

    SHOULD WE TRUST ANYONE IN GOVERNMENT??

    Total Contractors, aka Mercenaries, Will be 130,000 to 160,000, in Afghanistan :

    They secured the Oil fields of Iraq, now
    they will secure the poppy fields of
    Afghanistan all for the Organized Crime
    syndicate that is controlling much of
    our government today.

    Where are the companions of the China
    cocaine deal presently??

    Wouldn’t we destroy the fields other wise??
    Do we trust any official this day and age??
    Afghanistan now supplies over 90 percent of the world’s heroin, generating nearly $200 billion in revenue. Since the U.S. invasion on Oct. 7, 2001, opium output has increased 33-fold (to over 8,250 metric tons a year).
    The U.S. has been in Afghanistan for over seven years, has spent $177 billion in that country alone, and has the most powerful and technologically advanced military on Earth. GPS tracking devices can locate any spot imaginable by simply pushing a few buttons.
    Still, bumper crops keep flourishing year after year, even though heroin production is a laborious, intricate process. The poppies must be planted, grown and harvested; then after the morphine is extracted it has to be cooked, refined, packaged into bricks and transported from rural locales across national borders. To make heroin from morphine requires another 12-14 hours of laborious chemical reactions. Thousands of people are involved, yet—despite the massive resources at our disposal—heroin keeps flowing at record levels.

    Common sense suggests that such prolific trade over an extended period of time is no accident, especially when the history of what has transpired in that region is considered. While the CIA ran its operations during the Vietnam War, the Golden Triangle supplied the world with most of its heroin. After that war ended in 1975, an intriguing event took place in 1979 when Zbigniew Brzezinski covertly manipulated the Soviet Union into invading Afghanistan.

    Behind the scenes, the CIA, along with Pakistan’s ISI, were secretly funding Afghanistan’s mujahideen to fight their Russian foes. Prior to this war, opium production in Afghanistan was minimal. But according to historian Alfred McCoy, an expert on the subject, a shift in focus took place. “Within two years of the onslaught of the CIA operation in Afghanistan, the Pakistan-Afghanistan borderlands became the world’s top heroin producer.”

    Soon, as Professor Michel Chossudovsky notes, “CIA assets again controlled the heroin trade. As the mujahideen guerrillas seized territory inside Afghanistan, they ordered peasants to plant poppies as a revolutionary tax. Across the border in Pakistan, Afghan leaders and local syndicates under the protection of Pakistan intelligence operated hundreds of heroin laboratories.”

    Eventually, the Soviet Union was defeated (their version of Vietnam), and ultimately lost the Cold War. The aftermath, however, proved to be an entirely new can of worms. During his research, McCoy discovered that “the CIA supported various Afghan drug lords, for instance Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. The CIA did not handle heroin, but it did provide its drug lord allies with transport, arms, and political protection.”

    By 1994, a new force emerged in the region—the Taliban—that took over the drug trade. Chossudovsky again discovered that “the Americans had secretly, and through the Pakistanis [specifically the ISI], supported the Taliban’s assumption of power.”

    These strange bedfellows endured a rocky relationship until July 2000 when Taliban leaders banned the planting of poppies. This alarming development, along with other disagreements over proposed oil pipelines through Eurasia, posed a serious problem for power centers in the West. Without heroin money at their disposal, billions of dollars could not be funneled into various CIA black budget projects. Already sensing trouble in this volatile region, 18 influential neo-cons signed a letter in 1998 which became a blueprint for war—the infamous Project for a New American Century (PNAC).

    Fifteen days after 9-11, CIA Director George Tenet sent his top-secret Special Operations Group (SOG) into Afghanistan. One of the biggest revelations in Tenet’s book, At the Center of the Storm, was that CIA forces directed the Afghanistan invasion, not the Pentagon.

    In the Jan. 26, 2003, issue of Time magazine, Douglas Waller describes Donald Rumsfeld’s reaction to this development. “When aides told Rumsfeld that his Army Green Beret A-Teams couldn’t go into Afghanistan until the CIA contingent had lain the groundwork with local warlords, he erupted, ‘I have all these guys under arms, and we’ve got to wait like little birds in a nest for the CIA to let us go in?’”

    ARMITAGE A MAJOR PLAYER

    But the real operator in Afghanistan was Richard Armitage, a man whose legend includes being the biggest heroin trafficker in Cambodia and Laos during the Vietnam War; director of the State Department’s Foreign Narcotics Control Office (a front for CIA drug dealing); head of the Far East Company (used to funnel drug money out of the Golden Triangle); a close liaison with Oliver North during the Iran-Contra cocaine-for-guns scandal; a primary Pentagon official in the terror and covert ops field under George Bush the Elder; one of the original signatories of the infamous PNAC document; and the man who helped CIA Director William Casey run weapons to the mujahideen during their war against the Soviet Union. Armitage was also stationed in Iran during the mid-1970s right before Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini overthrew the shah. Armitage may well be the greatest covert operator in U.S. history.

    On Sept. 10, 2001, Armitage met with the UK’s national security advisor, Sir David Manning. Was Armitage “passing on specific intelligence information about the impending terrorist attacks”? The scenario is plausible because one day later—on 9-11—Dick Cheney directly called for Armitage’s presence down in his bunker. Immediately after WTC 2 was struck, Armitage told BBC Radio, “I was told to go to the operations center [where] I spent the rest of the day in the ops center with the vice president.”

    These two share a long history together. Not only was Armitage employed by Cheney’s former company Halliburton (via Brown & Root), he was also a deputy when Cheney was secretary of defense under Bush the Elder. More importantly, Cheney and Armitage had joint business and consulting interests in the Central Asian pipeline which had been contracted by Unocal. The only problem standing between them and the Caspian Sea’s vast energy reserves was the Taliban.

    Since the 1980s, Armitage amassed a huge roster of allies in Pakistan’s ISI. He was also one of the “Vulcans”—along with Condi Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, and Rabbi Dov Zakheim—who coordinated Bush’s geo-strategic foreign policy initiatives. Then, after 9-11, he negotiated with the Pakistanis prior to our invasion of Afghanistan, while also becoming Bush’s deputy secretary of state stationed in Afghanistan.

    Our “enemy,” or course, was the Taliban “terrorists.” But George Tenet, Colin Powell, Porter Goss, and Armitage had developed a close relationship with Pakistan’s military head of the ISI—General Mahmoud Ahmad— who was cited in a Sept. 2001 FBI report as “supporting and financing the alleged 9-11 terrorists, as well as having links to al Qaeda and the Taliban.”

    The line between friend and foe gets even murkier. Afghan President Hamid Karzai not only collaborated with the Taliban, but he was also on Unocal’s payroll in the mid-1990s. He is also described by Saudi Arabia’s Al-Watan newspaper as being “a Central Intelligence Agency covert operator since the 1980s that collaborated with the CIA in funding U.S. aid to the Taliban.”

    Capturing a new, abundant source for heroin was an integral part of the U.S. “war on terror.” Hamid Karzai is a puppet ruler of the CIA; Afghanistan is a full-fledged narco-state; and the poppies that flourish there have yet to be eradicated, as was proven in 2003 when the Bush administration refused to destroy the crops, despite having the chance to do so. Major drug dealers are rarely arrested, smugglers enjoy carte blanche immunity, and Nushin Arbabzadah, writing for The Guardian, theorized that “U.S. Army planes leave Afghanistan carrying coffins empty of bodies, but filled with drugs.” Is that why the military protested so vehemently when reporters tried to photograph returning caskets?

    Victor Thorn is a hard-hitting researcher, journalist and the author of many books on 9-11 and the New World Order. These include 9-11 Evil: The Israeli Role in 9-11 and Phantom Flight 93.

    In short, many of the groups now supported (or tolerated) by the United States and NATO are important actors in the drug trade
    Blackwater has arms warehouse in Islamabad –Blackwater has implanted sensitive instruments at Sihala to monitor activities of Khan Research Laboratories (KRL), Kahuta, as well as to keep an eye on the nuclear assets of Pakistan. 22 Oct 2009 Private US security firm Blackwater has a warehouse located in the industrial area of Islamabad that is reportedly involved in illegal arms trading. The warehouse, Kestral Logistics, is working as the subcontractor of Xe Worldwide or Blackwater, The Nation reports. According to sources, the company has arms deals with Blackwater and is importing heavy arms and ammunition for the US company for its ongoing illicit operations in Pakistan. [Wow. Blackwater ‘keeping an eye on’ the nuclear assets of Pakistan. I think we’d all prefer al-Qaeda watching them.]

    “Israel Lobby” 10 Mar 2009 Chas Freeman’s full statement following his decision not to serve as National Intelligence Council chairman… ‘The tactics of the Israel Lobby plumb the depths of dishonor and indecency and include character assassination, selective misquotation, the willful distortion of the record, the fabrication of falsehoods, and an utter disregard for the truth. The aim of this Lobby is control of the policy process through the exercise of a veto over the appointment of people who dispute the wisdom of its views, the substitution of political correctness for analysis, and the exclusion of any and all options for decision by Americans and our government other than those that it favors.’

    Egypt constructing steel wall on Gaza border
    The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has confirmed reports that Egypt is building a metal wall along its border with the Gaza Strip and noted the wall is being financed by the United States.
    The wall could be a preparation for new Israeli attacks against Gaza, she said and stated the wall was part of an security agreement signed between Israel and former US President George Bush shortly before his term ended.

    There are several explanations. Cynics point out that the Egyptian government receives a huge American subsidy every year – almost two billion dollars – by courtesy of Israel. It started as a reward for the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty. The pro-Israel lobby in the US Congress can stop it any time.

    TORAH JEWS WILL TAKE CLASS ACTION –

    WHAT EVERYONE KNOWS, BUT AFRAID TO SAY SO.

    “THE TRUTH”

    TORAH JEWS WILL TAKE CLASS

    ACTION;

    Today in Bilin Palestinian, Israeli, and International activists joined together for yet another non-violent protest against the apartheid wall and Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian land. Demonstrators of all ages holding signs and Palestinian flags marched to the apartheid fence (also referred to as a wall) where they were met with sound bombs and tear gas. Dozens suffered from severe tear gas inhalation.

    Today, activists managed to pull open the yellow gate next to the fence, after cutting through the surrounding barbed wire. This gate is regularly used by the army to invade and harass the people of Bilin. Beyond the gate you can see the Israeli army’s current encampment as well as fields and olive trees belonging to Palestinian families from Bilin. The apartheid wall usurps 60% of the village’s land.

    International demonstrator T.D. commented, “All the values and principles of morality that we know have been completely inverted and perverted here, its Orwellian.” His placard read, “War monger Obama receives Nobel Peace Prize.” Another sign read: Rouge criminal state Israel: The only “democracy” in the Middle East.

    From the inception of the Zionist State and particularly in recent times, the impression has been created in the World that there is some connection between the State, which falsely calls itself Israel, and the Jewish people as a whole. Therefore, we who continue to uphold the never-changing tradition of the Jewish people find it proper to again clarify the following points:

    A Jew is one who remains faithful to the laws of the Jewish religion, that is, the Holy Torah and its commandments.
    The Jewish people became a people before they had their own land, and continued to exist as a people also after they went Into exile, because our very people hood is based exclusively on the Torah.
    The Holy Land was given to the Jewish people on the condition that they observe the Torah and its commandments. When they failed to do this, their sovereignty over the land was taken from them, and they went into exile. From that time, we are prohibited by the Torah with a very grave prohibition to establish a Jewish independent sovereignty in the Holy Land or anywhere throughout the world. Rather, we are obligated to be loyal to the nations under whose protection we dwell.
    This situation has existed for close to 2000 years when the Jewish people were dispersed throughout all corners of the world. During this time, the Jews always remained faithful to the country in which they lived.
    The Jewish people are grateful to all those merciful nations which have allowed them to observe Torah and the commandments undisturbed.
    From ancient times, the relations between the Jewish and Islamic peoples have always been those of peace and brotherhood, and friendship always reigned between them. The proof of this is the fact that for centuries, in all the Arab lands, hundreds of thousands of Jews lived in honor and amidst mutual esteem.
    Jews throughout all generations yearned to grace the sacred soil of the Holy Land and to live there. However, their sole purpose was to fulfill the commandments dependent upon the land and to absorb Its holiness. Never, G-d forbid, did they have any nationalist or sovereign intent whatsoever which, as mentioned above, is forbidden to us. Indeed, also here in the Holy Land, our fathers lived in neighborly harmony with the Palestinian residents of the land, helping one another, to mutual benefit.
    Until about two hundred years ago, the vast majority of Jews observed the Torah and the commandments in entirety. Jewry’s leaders were Torah scholars, who directed the people according to the Torah. They were loyal citizens in the host nations where they dwelled and to the local laws. They prayed for the welfare of their respective governments. To our sorrow, at that time a small number of Jews slowly left their observance of Torah and commandments. Together with this, they began to deride the spiritual leadership of their people. This assimilation was the basis upon which, one hundred years ago, the ideology of Zionism was born. Its founders were assimilated Jews who had abandoned the Torah.
    Immediately at the founding of the Zionist movement, masses of Jews under the leadership of their Rabbis, launched a heavy battle against Zionism. Their attack was directed not only at the non-religious Zionist idea, but rather, primarily at its opposition to the Torah-ordained path that Jewry must follow while in exile. As such, the Zionists incited the nations of the world, demanding political sovereignty over the Holy Land while remaining oblivious to the resentment this would arouse In the Palestinian Arabs, the land’s veteran inhabitants. As stated, the leaders of Orthodox Jewry vehemently opposed the movement with all force.
    The Zionists refused to heed the voice of the Rabbis and Torah authority. They persisted in their ways until they succeeded in influencing the British government to issue the Balfour Declaration concerning the “establishment of a national home for the Jews in the land of Israel.” To our great sorrow, from that point on began the deterioration of the good relations between the Jews and the Arab inhabitants of the land. This occurred because the Arab people understood that the Zionists wished to seize ruler ship from them. In addition, the Arab people had suspicions as if the Jewish people wished to seize control of the Temple Mount and other similar sites. Matters worsened as a result.
    The Jewish leadership of that time saw it as proper to clarify before the Arab leaders that the Torah-true Jews had no desire whatsoever for sovereignty, and that our desire was to continue to live in peace with the Arabs, as we had always done. The leader of the G-d-fearing Jewish community at that time, Rabbi Yoseph Chaim Zonnenfeld. of blessed memory, organized a delegation in July of 24′ which visited King Hussein and his sons Faisal the King of Iraq and the Amir Abdullah In order to lucidly present to them the position of the G-d-fearing Jewish community. The Jewish delegation clarified unequivocally that Torah Jewry is totally opposed to the Zionist sovereignty over the Holy Land. It Is worth noting that the delegation was received with great honor. They were even assured that all Arab lands were completely open to Jews, however, on the condition that the Jews do not demand political rights. This condition also applied to the Holy Land. One of the members of the Jewish delegation, Professor Yisroel Yaakov De Haan, paid with his life for his participation.
    Torah Jewry protests at every opportunity against the Zionist rule over the Holy Land, and the Zionist rebellion against the neighboring nations. Torah Jewry has condemned the Zionist oppression of the Palestinians, the land’s veteran inhabitants who have been driven from their homes and properties. The Zionists’ barbaric and violent deeds are absolutely antithetical to the essence of the Jewish people.
    Torah Jewry has never ever recognized the Zionist state. Since the Zionists succeeding in establishing their state, Torah Jewry has continuously announced to the world that the Zionists do not represent the Jewish people, and that the name “Israel” that they use is a forgery. For as has been stated above, it is forbidden to us from the Torah to rebel against the nations, and all sovereignty by us is prohibited. Rather, we await the days when all the world will recognize the sovereignty of the Creator, and the words of the prophet Isaiah will yet be fulfilled: “And they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. No nation will lift its sword against any other, nor will they learn warfare anymore.”
    Anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews have refrained to this day from taking any funds from the Zionist regime, whether for their educational institutions, synagogues or other benefits. Obviously, they do not participate in the Zionist elections, whether for the “Knesset” or for the municipality. We do not serve in their army, and we even avoid speaking in the Hebrew language that the Zionists Invented. (incidentally, this is not the holy and true Hebrew language in which the Bible is written.) All this is done because Torah Jewry does not recognize the Zionist regime, which Is against the Torah and against humanity.
    Lately, the question has once again arisen concerning the Temple Mount and sovereignty over it. Thus, we wish to state unequivocally: a) In our time, it is a severe Torah prohibition for any Jew to set foot on any part of the Temple Mount area. b) The Jewish people have no claim whatsoever to sovereignty over this holy site, which is under Islamic authority, nor over any other holy site. Rabbi Zonenfeld was once asked, “is it true, that the Rabbi prefers an non-Jewish government over all of the Holy Land”? Rabbi Zonenfeld replied, “if King Hussein would rule over Palestine, the holiness of the Holy Land would not be diminished to even to an Iota degree”. We yearningly await G-d’s great day, when He will return His Divine Presence to Zion, restoring the holy city to its former holiness and glory as in days of old, to be a light to the peoples and the nations.
    The Zionists have no right of any sovereignty over even one inch of the Holy Land. They do not represent the Jewish people in any way whatsoever. They have no right to speak in the name of the Jewish people. Therefore, their words, declarations and actions are not in any way representative of the Jewish people. This is because the Zionists’ seizing of power over the Holy Land is antithetical to Jewish law, and also because the Zionists do not behave like Jews at all rather, they desecrate the sanctity of the land.
    We once again clarify that it is our desire to live in peace with our Arab and Palestinian neighbors, as we did before the Zionist revolution, and as Jews all over the world till today live, accepting the yoke of rulership of their host nation, with complete loyalty. Our sole desire is to serve our G-d and to fulfill His commandments with a perfect heart and to delight in the radiance of the sanctity of the Land.
    PUT THE “HOUSE’ IN ORDER.

    A LAST DITCH EFFORT

    Every last tissue of belief in the GOVERNMENT should by now be shred and cast aside. The Democrats are no less the corporate bailers and militarists than the Republicans. They hand trillions to the banks and brokerage firms; they dissolve union contracts and send the workers to the dogs; their unmanned drones bomb Pakistan, killing and maiming innocents and displacing tens of thousands; they sell the same lies about the wars-that they have to do with terrorism or democracy rather than oil and other resources-as their predecessors; they fund the very enemy that they claim to fight; they keep up the same contracts with Blackwater and its successors; they vote for the same war funding; they carry out the same secret renditions; they sanction and continue the same spying on US citizens; they exonerate torturers and war criminals from the previous administration; they are war criminals in complicity with other war criminals. It is now obvious

    to most that both parties have

    sold the American people out to

    organized crime. The corruption

    and control continues on the same

    path with the same special

    interest groups in charge.

    The 14 characteristics of Fascism

    remain the same now as they did

    for the previous eight years.

    Where is the change promised, the

    coalition of Zionist states continues.

    1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
    2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of “need.” The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
    3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
    4. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
    5. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
    6. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
    7. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
    8. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
    9. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
    10. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
    11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
    12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
    13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
    14. Fraudulent Elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
    Public debate looks good, but the

    closed door secrets and corruption

    remains the same.

    Now we know revolution is likely coming prior to a one world government.

    Disappointment, to rage, to distruction.

    We left the Republican Party, now the

    Democrat Party has left us. Where do

    we go from here.

    We need to put our HOUSE in order.

    FACE THE REALITY:

    Dear G-D:

    Our international HOLY LAND is being

    distroyed. How can we protect it from

    the present falsehoods? A political

    movement.

    The reality of the political movement,
    Zionism, should be the re-establishment
    of Sodom and Gomorrah as their capital
    cities.

    True Torah Jews against Zionism:
    The Committee for the Open Discussion of Zionism (CODZ) was formed in September, 2007, in response to the efforts of certain Zionist organizations in the United States to suppress criticism of Israel and /or Zionism. These efforts, often successful, have included: pressuring academic institutions to deny tenure to faculty who have criticized Israeli policy; demanding the dismissal or suspension of pro-Palestinian teachers and administrators; instigating the denial of lecture and performance venues to critics of Israeli policy; and attempting to suppress distribution of books critical of Israel or Zionism.

    Professors around the world are being attacked because of their views on Israel and Palestine.

    Why we need to enforce separation

    of Church and State.

    It is fine to be:

    Anti-Catholic, Anti-Luthern, Anti-Witness, Anti-Adventist, Anti-Muslim,

    or Anti-Christian Science. BUT we

    pass hate crime bills for Anti-Semitic.

    Our taxes supporting a religious state

    that in reality is a fraud.

    Don’t celebrate our Christmas or display

    on any public facility. YET we have to have the Star of David on everything.

    “Come on”. Our only solution is for none

    of it with in our government or policies.

    “Transforming Palestine/Israel Into A Single, Secular, Democratic State With Equal Rights for All”
    An Idea Whose Time has Come.

    SUPPORT THE GOLDSTONE REPORT:

    Support the Goldstone Report –War crimes during the attack on Gaza must be investigated. The UN Goldstone report is a well-researched, fair-minded report. Israel and Hamas must conduct credible, independent investigations on war crimes and possible crimes against humanity or face the International Criminal Court. We demand accountability for all victims, respect for the rule of law, international law and human rights.

    As we tackle healthcare reform, catastrophic climate change, immigration and high finance reform, the last thing we need is for Congress to pass a resolution full of misinformation and falsehoods just to satisfy friends in AIPAC.

    Cost of War in Afghanistan so far:

    Health care reform will cost: That figure came to $3,885 per capita or $298.7 billion in total. BUT that is spending on Americans; do we have lobbies for us?

    History suggests that anticipation of an end to the war might help lift the mood of consumers and investors whose fears now deepen the economic problem.

    Heal the War-Torn Economy

    Stand up for Justice and Say No! To LOCKHEED MONSTER:

    During the Great Depression of the 1930’s, homeless men built “shanty towns” around the country and called them “HOOVERVILLES”, after President Herbert Hoover who presided over the worst economic collapse in U.S. history.

    Today, we face an economy torn apart by more than a half century of U.S. militarism, empire, and corporate war profiteering. U.S. military spending this year is estimated at $925 billion, a figure that doesn’t include funding for the U.S. occupation of Iraq and the even more costly and escalating war in Afghanistan. The cost of the two wars, funded by supplemental spending, now stands at $14 billion a month. Our country continues to be held in the grip of a war economy resulting in poverty, which Gandhi called “the greatest form of violence”, a culture of unmet human needs here at home, and war and misery for untold millions around the world.

    Lockheed Martin is the world’s largest weapons contractor and war profiteer, receiving more than $42.7 billion of our tax dollars annually. War and weapons profits continue to take priority over the justice of a caring economy and society. Many suffer, so very few may profit. The price we pay is:

    Relevant Amendments to the U.S. Constitution

    Amendment One: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
    Amendment Four: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
    Amendment Fourteen: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of its laws.

    “Israel’s diplomatic status is undergoing a rapid collapse, whose like we have never known before. We did undergo crises during the first Lebanon War, the First Intifada and on other occasions – but never did we fall from a such great height to such a low depth, and the bottom is still far down”

    Israel resembles a failed state
    Ali Abunimah – Electronic Intifada – The shift in public opinion is palpable as Israel`s own actions transform it into a pariah whose driving forces are not the liberal democratic values with which it claims to identify, but ultra-nationalism, racism, religious fanaticism, settler-colonialism and a Jewish supremacist order maintained by frequent massacres.

    International law is clear: Israeli settlements are illegal
    Iain Scobbie (in reaction to Eric Rozenman)- Los Angeles Times – Israel refused to be seen as the successor state to the Palestinian mandate. Accordingly, it refused to pay the public debt that Palestine owed to Britain. How then can there be a right of Israeli settlement in the West Bank, territory to which Israel itself has never made legal claim?

    DEMAND THE PROMISED TRANSPARENCY:

    Americans deserve to know the “TRUE”
    facts, that is the rational behind our
    “SUNSHINE LAWS”.
    Decision making made by lobbist money
    delutes our democracy. Foreign lobbies,
    registered as American with TAX EXEMPT
    STATUS have the most powerful influence
    on our agencies, including our defense
    department.
    It has been reported that 75 retired military officers regularly appearing on television “have ties to military contractors vested in the very war policies they are asked to assess on air.”
    Collectively, the group represented “more than 150 military contractors either as lobbyists, senior executives, board members or consultants,” and here’s the kicker: “Those business relationships are hardly ever disclosed to viewers.”Why is that? Media is
    silenced by the same lobbies.
    “major television networks continue to host retired generals as military analysts without alerting viewers to their extensive ties to defense contractors.”
    Additionally, Wired magazine reports that neoconservative think-tankers who directly helped craft the Pentagon’s Afghan escalation are now appearing throughout the media as allegedly disinterested analysts of the escalation — again, without any mention of their concurrent work. Or connections to the Israeli lobbies.

    It’s easy to think this opacity is the exclusive transgression of commercial media. Unfortunately, it’s not — it has bled into the country’s single most powerful economic institution, the Federal Reserve.

    This is the bank currently lobbying against congressional oversight by arguing it must preserve its “independence” — the same institution whose regional board members are elected by the private banks they regulate and whose chairman, Ben Bernanke, quietly cavorts with the bank CEOs he’s supposed to be independent from. Even worse, the Fed is paying many of the ostensibly objective economists who sculpt the debate about Fed policy.

    The Fed today doles out roughly $400 million a year for “research” — much of it to outside economists who then advocate for the Fed’s agenda without disclosing their Fed ties. For instance, seven of the eight economists on a recent anti-oversight letter to Congress failed to note they are or were on the Fed’s payroll.

    That blatant chicanery, though, is not the worst of it. The real subterfuge is how the Fed’s shadowy pay scheme bakes an invisible pro-Fed consensus into our public discourse. Through its academic largesse, the Fed “so thoroughly dominates the field of economics that real criticism of the central bank has become a career liability for members of the profession.”

    They think they have the USA under control enough, that they now can have global control of everyone’s

    money. Our officials sell themselves and us out for personal gain. Will Americans revolt soon enough to regain what we once were, prior to 1994?

    CONSIDERING OUR CONSTITUTION

    CHURCH MONIES:

    Millions upon millions are embezzled every

    year. Major amounts of that goes unreported, seldom is anyone prosecuted.

    Missing funds are more common then thought by most members, why, because

    it generally goes unreported.

    Insiders steal big from unsuspecting churches:

    While corporate scandals at Enron and Tyco have made headlines in recent years, churches and other nonprofit entities also have been victims of embezzlement. They can be particularly vulnerable, experts say, because of the level of trust given to employees and volunteers and their lack of sophisticated financial controls and oversight.

    We should add here that the biggest

    amounts are lost at the top. Not by

    accident or mistake or oversight.

    There are dozens and dozens of high-profile cases involving churches. There

    is very little co-operation with law

    enforcement.

    Less then 10% of contributions come

    back into the communities for the purpose given. Tax exemption is given

    by “POLITICIANS” not the people,

    for the implied purpose of it coming back to the community.

    We see bigger buildings, except in poverty areas, bigger salaries, bigger

    autos, bigger homes, expensive suits,

    jewelry, and toys.

    We do not see much being done for

    people in desperate situations. Homeless

    etc. Of course we hear that it is OK for

    them to steal in that situation, but don’t

    go to a church for help. Their monies

    are now invested with Defense Contractors, and WAR machines.

    For doing so they now can obtain low cost government grants for other business. “Faith based business” what

    ever that means. Sort of like Faith based WARS I guess. BUT done with tax payer monies. Is that what we call

    Separation of Church & State.

    Everyone is entitled to believe or not

    believe in their religion of choice, but

    none should be supported by tax payer money. Especially a foreign religious

    State, with the biggest lobby and influence on officials sworn to uphold

    our laws, and to be accountable for such.

    We hear that the “TEA PARTY” will

    take a complete different approach

    with lobbies. Let’s watch and see.

    The ” TEA PARTY” promises a much

    Different approach to FAIR TAXATION, with no exemptions.

    Let’s watch and see.

    The “TEA PARTY” promises to hold

    War criminals accountable.

    Let’s watch and see.

    HAVE WE HEARD ALL THESE

    PROMISES BEFORE.

    HAVE THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATIONS AND LIES

    MADE YOU ANGRY.
