The Netroots Meltdown Begins

via My Due Dilligence ... lest anyone forget the site started with a stock scheme theme.

Lieberman is throwing the whole party under the bus. It's time for 2008 candidates to step up.

Update: I think this is a major error on Lieberman's part. He has run a pretty good general election campaign, casting himself as a bipartisan uniter and generally lying about his record. That has largely worked because it's been the narrative in Connecticut for 18 years. Lieberman's still holding on to a piece of the Democratic vote, which he'll need to keep to win.

That's in reaction to this interview courtesy of Pajamas Media today.

Lieberman - the former Democrat now running as an Independent to retain his Connecticut senate seat - was asked by PJM's CEO Roger Simon if he could forgive once close friends Chris Dodd, Al Gore and Teddy Kennedy, for endorsing his opponent Ned Lamont, the former Democratic Party vice-presidential candidate responded: "I can forgive ... but I probably won't forget."

Given that, courtesy of Instapundit, Lieberman leads Lamont by ten points in the polls, which bus is it Lieberman is throwing the party under? The one they attempted to drive over his Senate career? A clue for the Netroots, once the Dem leaders and 2008 candidates read the writing on the wall, they are going to cut their losses and begin to make amends. That's basically the message Lieberman is sending, as the story linked also reports that Lamont has lost momentum ten points back.

The Netroots had fun in a Democrat Primary, but the adults know Lieberman has to caucus with the Dems, or who knows what might be at risk after November. Get over it, dudes ... the professional pols aren't going to dish dirt at Lieberman, not when he's holding a ten point lead over an empty suit who already overspent in an attempt to buy a Senate seat.

Comments

[Captain Joe]

I'd like to see Lieberman punish the Dems after the election with a few votes for Republican issues.

Old Joe is good on the war but that's where it ends.More domestic votes like his would leave us too poor to fight a war.

Are Saddams Saddemocrats Behind The George Allen Lynching

As Fox News would say: "We report, You Decide!"

Let's start off with George Allen critic, to say the least, Larry
Sabato.

First let us travel back in time to the Wednesday, October 23rd,
2002 issue of a publication called THE CAVALIER DAILY
when "Politicians, professors and students gather to celebrate Larry
J. Sabato's 50th birthday and raise money for the Center for
Politics" Surely Mr.Sabato's 50th birthday party must have been an
unforgettable
occasion for him. You can see a photo or Mr. Sabato being teased by
Senator
Allen at Sabato's 50th birthday bash at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KnowTheEnemy/ in the KnowTheEnemy photo
album."Politics Prof. Larry J. Sabato covers his face in
embarassment as U.S.
Senator George Allen teases Sabato about his excessive on-camera
time."
http://www.cavalierdaily.com/CVArticle.asp?ID=13613&pid=918

Please pay particular attention to the following item in the article
below in which Senator Warner is comparing the invitation to the
50th birthday
party for Larry Sabato to Marlon Brando's "offer you can't refuse".
Surely that
line must have stuck with Larry Sabato.
Larry Sabato must have remembered that line.
"U.S. Senator John Warner, R-Va., compared the invitation to
Marlon Brando's "offer you can't refuse."

In case you are not a fan of The Godfather, which starred Marlon
Brando Senator Warner's 2002 reference was to Marlon Brando's
character Don Vito Corleone,The Godfather,"Don Vito's line, "I'm
going to make him an offer he can't refuse" was voted as the second
most memorable line in cinema history in a 2005 poll"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Godfather

The reference is to a character being pressured by The Godfather to
use a film star favored by The Godfather waking up to find the
severed head of a horse in his bed.

"Life
Birthday Bashing
Politicians, professors and students gather to celebrate Larry J.
Sabato's 50th birthday and raise money for the Center for Politics

Katie Sullivan , Cavalier Daily Associate Editor
A conversational hum filled the hotel lobby as men and women in
business suits congregated in small groups.
"Can I get two minutes when you're done here?" one businessman said
to another. Hearty greetings were exchanged while college students
and interns searched for a chance to network.
In a corner, a table holding platters of fruit and cheese stood near
a cash bar where even beer was poured into wine glasses.
Nearby, a long line waited to pick up their pre-printed nametags. An
aide asked for the Virginia attorney general's nametag, only to find
that his nametag had not been printed.
As Virginia Gov. Mark R. Warner slowly worked his way through the
crowd, a server holding a xylophone wandered in the throng, striking
random notes to encourage the group to move into the dining room.
Clearly, these people could only have gathered for one reason—to
celebrate Politics Prof. Larry J. Sabato's 50th birthday.
Virginia politicians, political analysts, journalists and University
students and alumni gathered Monday night in the Richmond Marriot to
wish Sabato a happy birthday.
Rather than traditional cake and candles, however, a few prominent
Virginia politicians humorously chose to light something else on
fire—Sabato's reputation.
Warner said he accepted the invitation to speak for the opportunity
to give Sabato some of his own medicine.
"Larry's been roasting all of us for years," Warner said. "Turnabout
is fair play."
The celebration, called the "Sabato Five-O," took the form of a
roast a la Comedy Central. The event also served as a fundraiser for
The University of Virginia Center for Politics, of which Sabato
serves as director.
The Center for Politics, located on Old Ivy Road , uses various
research and outreach programs to promote civic education and
participation around Virginia .
After the crowd made its way into the dining room, former Virginia
Gov. L. Douglas Wilder introduced himself as emcee of the night's
festivities, and proceeded to introduce a video, much like those
shown at bachelor parties.
The video started out with photos of Sabato's youth, then moved to
doctored photographs including Sabato as Elvis and an onlooker in
the fateful photograph of former President Clinton and Monica
Lewinsky. The video then featured birthday wishes from some of the
media's most prominent political talk shows, such as Crossfire, The
Capital Gang and The Beltway Boys.
The Beltway Boys, Mort Kondracke and Fred Barnes, named Sabato as
their favorite guest, even if "he doesn't always know what he's
talking about. His greatest strength is that he's always there."
University alumna and NBC Today Show anchor Katie Couric also taped
a personal message, as well as fellow alumnus and FOX news anchor
Brit Hume, who encouraged Sabato to "prevail in your long struggle
against shyness."
The program then gave six of Virginia `s most powerful politicians
the opportunity to poke fun at a man who, as he himself claimed, has
predicted defeat for every one of them.
Virginia Lt. Gov. Tim Kaine called the head table "the greatest
group of Virginia politicians since Thomas Jefferson ate by
himself."
Much was said about Sabato's willingness to comply with the news
media. AOL Editorial cartoonist Bob Gorrell showed the crowd a pie
chart, claiming to cater to Sabato's love of precise polling data.
According to the chart, 60 percent of the audience were thrilled to
be there, 30 percent were moderately pleased, and 10 percent were
incredibly inconvenienced. He also called Sabato "the Pez dispenser
of sound bytes."
Virginia Attorney General Jerry Kilgore spoke about Sabato's ability
to state the obvious and make it sound profound, then joked about
Sabato's abundance of media exposure.
"He spends so much time in front of the camera lights," Kilgore
said, "that when he opens his fridge at night he speaks for three
minutes."
Kilgore also mentioned Sabato's record for predicting the outcomes
of elections.
"In ancient times, prophets who got it wrong were taken out and
stoned," he laughed.
Several of the roasters mentioned a fear that if they turned down
the invitation to speak, they later would receive some roasting of
their own in Sabato's political analysis.
U.S. Senator George Allen, R-Va., cited a need to keep Sabato off
their backs.
"There are places we'd rather be," Allen said. "But we didn't want
to cross the good professor."
U.S. Senator John Warner, R-Va., compared the invitation to Marlon
Brando's "offer you can't refuse."
Several speakers also joked about the dinner's fundraising function,
calling it "extortion."
Warner claimed it was only the beginning of a series of fundraisers
to support various state agencies, including ABC stores and the
Virginia Museum .
Allen mentioned budgets cuts facing the University as well, and,
indicating Warner, said, "If he cuts your budget next year, Larry,
put it in your file as something mean a Democrat did to you."
Allen, who attended the University as an undergraduate with Sabato,
remembered Sabato's beginnings as a student who wanted to fight the
power of special interest groups.
"Then I see this gathering," Allen said. "You make Hillary Clinton
look like a pike."
Other commentary centered on Sabato's role as a professor.
Warner, citing Sabato's frequent role as a debate moderator, posed a
question of his own to the man of the hour: "Larry, do you require
students to buy your textbooks to line your own pockets, or because
nobody else will?"
The night did include some serious moments, with Warner promising
the state would come through the budget crisis and that the actions
of the sniper would not keep the state from "moving forward."
The dinner raised over $166,000 for the Center for Politics, which
Sabato claimed was a third of the money needed to compensate for
budget cuts.
Sabato, always the academic, took advantage of the night as an
educational opportunity. Two of his classes dined at sponsored
tables, and each of his students met the roasting politicians and
took pictures with them.
Fourth-year College student Audrey Wagner, who is in Sabato's
Virginia Government and Politics class, said she valued the
opportunity to see the figures discussed in class in person.
"Mr. Sabato's class is a class where you learn the kind of things
you can't learn from textbooks," Wagner said. "It's great to
understand some of the inside jokes the politicians made this
evening just because I'm in his class."
Sabato, who has been roasted before, said he enjoyed the event
enormously.
"I would walk over hot coals while barefoot to raise money for my
beloved University," he said.

We hope that you will pay particular attention to the following item
Godfather
movie reference in the article above: "U.S. Senator John Warner, R-
Va., compared
the invitation to Marlon Brando's "offer you can't refuse."

Consider if you will the Dr.Shelton situation:

"Dr. Shelton said the incident with the deer head occurred during
their college days when he, Mr. Allen, and another teammate who has
since died were hunting on a farm the third man's family owned near
Bumpass, Va., 40 miles east of the university.
Dr. Shelton said Mr. Allen asked the other teammate where black
families lived in the area, then stuffed a deer's head into the
mailbox of one of the homes.
"George insisted on taking the severed head, and I was a little
shocked by that," he told the AP. "This was just after the
movie `The Godfather' came out with the severed horse's head in the

We have a million dollar question about Larry Sabato. From "AJR,
American Journalism Review April/May 2005 issue The Quote
Machines By Mark Francis Cohen
Mark Francis Cohen, whose work has appeared in the Washington Post
and the New York Times, is a contributing editor at Washingtonian
magazine.

Larry J. Sabato, who bills himself on the paid speaking circuit
as "probably the most quoted college professor in the land,"
recently donated $1 million to the University of Virginia .
That sum of money—estimated to be 12 to 13 times the scholar's
annual salary—makes Sabato, 52, the most generous faculty member the
university has ever employed. Actually, it's one of the biggest
gifts an active professor has handed to a school anywhere.
So where did Sabato get all this cash? "Thank goodness for compound
interest," the mustachioed pundit told the Washington Post the day
his gift was announced. "It's amazing what you can live on eating
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese for dinner."
"Still, a prudent lifestyle and savvy investment decisions hardly
explain Sabato's beneficence. The scholar has amassed mounds of
extra cash writing 23 books and moonlighting as a public speaker.
He's a successful pundit whose words and face blanket the newspapers
and airwaves, appearances that boost his profile and his cachet on
the speaking circuit….it has become routine for individual editors,
say on a national desk, to forbid reporters from using certain
pundits as sources. Many editors interviewed for this article would
only admit such prohibitions anonymously. "I have told my reporters
not to use Larry Sabato anymore," says the editor of a publication
that covers Congress."
You decide: Where did Sabato get the million dollars? Why would "the
editor of a publication that covers Congress" have told
his "reporters not to use Larry Sabato anymore." ?
Dr. Shelton said Mr. Allen used the N-word only around white
teammates.

"Virginia Senator Denies Using `N Word'
George Allen: Accusation By Ex-College Teammate `Absolutely False'
"I don't remember ever using that word and it is absolutely false
that that was ever part of my vocabulary."
RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 25, 2006

(AP) Sen. George Allen on Monday denounced as "ludicrously false"
claims from a former college football teammate that he frequently
used a racial slur to refer to black people.

Dr. Ken Shelton, now a radiologist in Hendersonville , N.C. , also
alleges that Allen, a former University of Virginia quarterback,
once stuffed the severed head of a deer into a black household's
oversized mail box.

In an Associated Press interview, Allen vehemently denied the
allegations Shelton made in an article published in the online
magazine Salon.com and an AP interview Sunday night.

His campaign released statements from four other ex-teammates
defending Allen and rejecting Shelton `s claims.

"The story and his comments and assertions in there are completely
false," Allen said during an interview with AP reporters and
editors. "I don't remember ever using that word and it is absolutely
false that that was ever part of my vocabulary."

Questions about racial insensitivity have dogged the Republican
throughout his re-election bid against Democrat Jim Webb. His use of
the word "macaca" in referring to a Webb campaign volunteer of
Indian descent in August prompted an outcry. The word denotes a
genus of monkeys and, in some cultures, is considered an ethnic
slur.

Shelton , a tight end and wide receiver for the Cavaliers in the
early 1970s, said Allen used the N-word only around white teammates.

During a deer hunt with Allen in the early 1970s, Shelton said,
Allen asked whether black families lived in the area before stuffing
a female deer's head into the mail box of a black household.

"George insisted on taking the severed head, and I was a little
shocked by that," Shelton said.

"This was just after the movie `The Godfather' came out with the
severed horse's head in the bed," Shelton told the AP.

Doug Jones, who said he roomed with Shelton at Virginia , said in a
statement that he never saw or heard anything from Allen that
supports Shelton `s claims.

"I never heard George Allen use any racially disparaging word nor
did I ever witness or hear about him acting in a racially
insensitive manner," Jones said."
Jim Webb, a.k.a. James Webb is Senator Allen's opponent in the
Virginia Senate
race this year. Webb is an opponent of the liberation of Iraq. Webb
is one of
what we like to call Saddam's Saddemocrats The following item on Jim

that organization states:
"The National Conference of Christians and Jews, changed its name in
the 1990's to better reflect its mission to build whole and
inclusive communities. The historic name confused many, who
believed that NCCJ was an interfaith organization. Therefore the
new name is not a change in vision, but rather an affirmation of our
abiding commitment to embrace the diversity of our nation.
NCCJ is the only national human relations organization that focuses
on a broad range of "isms," the multiple manifestations of
discrimination and oppression that are based on one's religion,
race, gender, sexual orientation, bias crimes to racial profiling -
the challenges ahead are real. To confront and overcome them, NCCJ
maintains an abiding commitment to work with decision-makers and
leaders to support their work to build an inclusive society."
Now all of these things are of course worthy goals. Medical research
is
admirable, so is fighting the ills of tobacco, although Webb himself
admits to
being someone who has chewed tobacco for many years, and certainly
fighting
discrimination of any sort is a worthy goal. It is the interesting
cross
connections between the characters involved in the character
assassination and
overall lynching of Senator Allen that lead us to believe that there
are just
too many coincidences involved to be pure coincidence. However, to
paraphrase
Fox News once again, "We report, you decide!" What do you think of
the so-called
coincidences in this story? Are they more than mere coincidence?

"Larry Sabato.. a classmate of Allen's in the early 1970s, said in a
televised interview Monday that Allen used the "n-word."
Earlier, Dr. Ken Shelton — a radiologist who played football with
Allen at the University of Virginia in the early 1970s — said Allen
not only used the slur frequently but also once stuffed a severed
deer head into a black family's mailbox…. Christopher LaCivita, an
Allen strategist… said Allen and Sabato were not friends nor did
they associate with each other in college. " Sabato, director of the
University of Virginia Center for Politics, would not say how he
knew Allen used the slur. He told Chris Matthews on MSNBC that he
did not know whether it was true that Allen used the word frequently.
"I'm simply going to stay with what I know is the case, and the fact
is he did use the n-word, whether he's denying it or not," Sabato
said.
However, Tuesday, Sabato acknowledged he has never directly heard
Allen use the slur.

MSNBC's Matthews: "What about these charges that he actually used
the bad language that some of us are familiar with in this country—
in fact, most Americans are—the bad language about people from
another, other background—did he do it?"
Sabato: "I can't say how frequently he did it, but I don't believe
him when he denies never having done it."
More Sabato: "I'm simply going to say that I'm going to stay with
what I know is the case. And the fact is that he did use the `N'
word, whether he's denying it now or not. He did use it. It was
the `70s, you're right, it was a harsh term, it was an obscenity at
this as far as I'm concerned."
Matthews: "How do you know about the `N' word? How do you know,
Larry, about the `N' word?"
Sabato: "Because there is other evidence that I'm not going to go
into on your show, Chris, sorry."
Asked if he heard Allen use the word: "I'm not going to go into any

Rough translation of op-ed that appeared in Yediot Achronot - 12
Adar:
A band of Islamic terrorists kidnapped Daniel Pearl - a Wall Street
Journal correspondent, a month ago, in Pakistan . His captors held
him
hostage, degraded him, hit him and tortured him. Afterwards, they
slit his
throat, chopped off his head and grossly mutilated his body. They
documented their crimes on video. Daniel Pearls, last words, as they
appear on the video are: "I am a Jew, my father and mother were
Jews."
The decapitated head of Daniel Pearl, a son of two Israeli parents
who
emigrated from Israel to America , has still not been brought to a
proper
Jewish grave among the nation of Israel .
Let us contemplate the significance of his last words that were
uttered in
the hateful faces of his murderers.
"I am a Jew", said Pearl , meaning I am the son of the nation and of
the
fate of the Jewish people. "I am a Jew", meaning I am a link in the
long
chain of persecution, Exiles, pogroms and death camps. "I am a Jew",
meaning this is my own personal Holocaust.
When Daniel Pearl said "I am a Jew" he died sanctifying G-d's name.
But Daniel Pearl also said, "My father and my mother are also
Jews." Meaning: In my last moments of life I proclaim that I am
reconnecting to the fathers of my parents - to my Jewish ancestors.
I am
not only the proud son of this persecuted nation, I am the proud son
of
these survivors, this strong nation, who can never be defeated. My
son,
who is now in my wife's womb, will be a Jew just like me. You can
kill me
but you can't kill him. You can't kill us.
Daniel Pearl said "I am a Jew" as a prayer and as a message. Pearl
wanted
the whole world to know that he was butchered by his Muslim captors
because he was a Jew, and not because he was a reporter or an
American.
Thus his words are a last will and request to Israel , the Jewish
state.
Gibson charged with drunken driving
Misdemeanors carry maximum of six months in jail
Thursday, August 3, 2006
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Mel Gibson was charged Wednesday
with misdemeanor drunken driving, as well as driving with an
elevated blood alcohol level and an open container of alcohol in his
car, prosecutors said….During his arrest, Gibson asked the arresting
deputy whether he was a Jew and said, "F---ing Jews. The Jews are
responsible for all the wars in the world," according to a sheriff's
report obtained by the entertainment Web site TMZ.com, which is
owned by CNN.com parent company Time Warner.
Mel Gibson Drives Drunk, Swears Uncontrollably, Hates Jewish People,
Threatens Cops,
Worried that Gibson might become violent, the deputy on the scene,
James Mee, told the actor he would not be handcuffed as long as he
cooperated. As the two stood next to the hood of the patrol car, the
deputy asked Gibson to get inside, at which point Mel
proclaimed "I'm not going to get in your car," and bolted to his own
vehicle. The deputy quickly subdued Gibson, cuffed him and put him
inside the patrol car.
The deputy taped the entire exchange between himself and Gibson,
from the time of the traffic stop to the time Gibson was put in the
patrol car, and that the tape fully corroborates the written report
obtained by TMZ.
It gets better/worse. Once inside the car, Gibson began banging
against the seat.
"You motherf–ker. I'm going to f–k you," he yelled.
The deputy, in the report, wrote that "Gibson almost continually
[sic] threatened me saying he `owns Malibu ' and will spend all of
his money to `get even' with me." The report also states that Gibson
launched into a tirade of anti-Semitic statements, exclaiming "F–
king Jews… The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world."
Gibson then asked the deputy if he is Jewish.
The deputy became alarmed as Gibson's tirade escalated, and called
ahead for a sergeant to meet them when they arrived at the station.
When they arrived, a sergeant began videotaping Gibson, who noticed
the camera and then said, "What the f–k do you think you're doing?"
Gibson then allegedly saw a female sergeant and yelled, "What do you
think you're looking at, sugar tits?"
TMZ has been told that Gibson took two blood alcohol tests, which
were videotaped, and continued saying how "f–ked" he was and how he
was going to "f–k" the deputy who arrested him. He was then put in a
cell with handcuffs on. He said he needed to urinate, and tried
manipulating his hands to unzip his pants. Afraid Gibson was going
to urinate on the floor of the cell, the deputy asked someone to
take Gibson to the bathroom.
After leaving the bathroom, Gibson demanded to make a phone call,
and was taken to a pay phone, where he began bashing the receiver
against the phone when he didn't hear a dial tone. Gibson was warned
that if he damaged the phone he could be charged with felony
vandalism. Gibson was then asked, and refused, to sign the necessary
paperwork, and was thrown in a detox cell.
Deputy Mee wrote an eight-page report detailing Mel Gibson's rampage
and comments. Sources say the sergeant on duty felt the written
report was inflammatory, especially given the current situation in
Israel . It was mentioned several times that Gibson had
incited "anti-Jewish sentiment" and "For a drunk driving arrest, is
this really worth all that?"
Deputy Mee was then ordered to write a second report, leaving the
comments about Jews out. Sources say he was told the sanitized
report would end up in the media, and that he could file a
supplemental report that contained the incendiary information, which
would be locked in the commander's safe.
Initially, a Sheriff's official told TMZ the arrest occurred without
incident. On Friday night, spokesman Steve Whitmore told TMZ:
"The L.A. County Sheriff's Department investigation into the arrest
of Mr. Gibson on suspicion of driving under the influence will be
complete and will contain every factual piece of evidence. Nothing
will be sanitized. There was absolutely no favoritism shown to this
suspect or any other. When this file is presented to the Los Angeles
County District Attorney, it will contain everything. Nothing will
be left out."

by Liba Pearson I don't know what kind of Jew Daniel
Pearl was—if he went to synagogue regularly or thought about keeping
kosher. And it just doesn't matter.

These days in Israel , I've noticed that cab drivers no longer only
say "have a nice day" when you get out of the cab. Instead they
say, "Have a quiet day." By that, they mean: "Let's hope no one dies
today." Because it seems that almost every day comes another horror—
two teenagers blown up in a pizza shop, an old man bludgeoned to
death in a soccer stadium just inside Palestinian territory, a
mother and her developmentally disabled daughter shot in their home
by a demon who will later be proclaimed a hero by people who live a
half hour's drive from me...
Not every few months, or few weeks; the unthinkable is occurring so
frequently that thought stops.
With each headline, I pause and reflect... and it is too much and I
close my eyes tightly. I try to comprehend how this happens, how can
they do this...
But I understand that I cannot understand.
On Friday, shortly before I ran out for Shabbat, I saw that Daniel
Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter, had been killed by his
captors. I can't say that I was surprised. But, still, I had a
moment—longer even than usual—where I grieved.
I read the obituaries: about his joviality, his love of music, his
propensity for walking around the newsroom in bare feet. And the
reports were now "releasing" the information that Daniel Pearl was
Jewish. To us—to Jews—this came as no surprise. His name, his
face... we already knew that. And as silly as it seemed that his
captors might not know it themselves, I understood why his family
had asked that it not be reported.
It wasn't until after Shabbat that I read what Daniel Pearl's last
words were:
"I am a Jew. My mother is a Jew..."

That was the last thing he uttered before one of his captors stepped
up behind him and slit his throat.

That was apparently the last thing he uttered before one his captors
stepped up behind him and slit his throat. Then they beheaded him,
and they videotaped the entire grisly spectacle. Those words—they
beheaded him—must be said in a whisper. They don't make sense, even
to me—and I live in a place where children are killed for eating
pizza.
They beheaded him.
Things like that don't happen. The gruesomeness of it, the
barbarism...
But that's not what stuck in my head.
He was a Jew and his mother was a Jew.
I don't know what "kind" of Jew he was—if he went to synagogue
regularly or thought about keeping kosher, if he considered himself
a member of any of the particular "streams" of Judaism (maybe he was
Refoconservadoxal) or not, or if his pretty wife is Jewish, or if he
planned on giving the son she is carrying a bris.
And it just doesn't matter.
This is something that the wicked men who killed him understand,
sometimes, much better than we do. Whether he was right or left,
whether he was completely assimilated or wildly and fervently
observant—Daniel Pearl was just a Jew.
As I sat reading eulogies, with tears brimming in my eyes,
Mordechai's admonition to Esther came into my head: "Do not imagine
that you will be able to escape in the king's palace any more than
any other Jew."
Just like the old man beaten to death in a soccer field, like the
teenagers eating pizza, the mother and daughter... They all
committed the same crime: Being a Jew.
I do not understand.
This past Shabbat, we read Parshat Zachor, when the entire
congregation repeats: "Remember what Amalek did to you on the way..."
Amalek led his tribe in an attack on the Jews as they wearily made
their way out of Egypt . His deeds were most dastardly: he attacked
the Jews' rear, where the old and sick and weakest were. Ironically,
he was a grandson of Esau's—and therefore not-so-distantly related
to the Jews. And yet he attacked just after the miraculous splitting
of the Red Sea : He feared neither the Jews nor God.
Why did he do it? Our sages answer simply: because Amalek was evil.
Not forgetting what Amalek did to us on means remembering that there
is such a thing as simple wickedness, and remembering Amalek rebukes
the notion that everyone is motivated by some sort of rational self-
interest.

Evil deserves only to be eradicated.

Thousands of people were slaughtered as they sat in their offices in
New York and there are those who say we must "understand" why those
who perpetrated the deed did so.
Evil cannot be simply explained by reason. Evil deserves not to be
understood, twisted into some shape that we recognize as rational
behavior: Evil deserves only to be eradicated. Our charge to
remember Amalek confronts us with that.
We so want to rationalize evil into something we can wrap our
intellects around: We want to believe that Hitler had some sort of
gruesome Jewish kindergarten teacher and acted out his frustrations
on the whole Jewish people. Mordechai set off Haman's dreadful
inferiority complex. And maybe Amalek himself had appallingly low
self-esteem?
No.
Nor can we any better understand the actions of the men who stepped
in front of a video camera and murdered Danny Pearl.
"I am a Jew. My mother is a Jew..."
When he said that, they killed him. We know for what he was
executed, what crime he committed.
Parshat Zachor concludes: "It shall be that when God lets you rest
from all your surrounding enemies in the land that God gave you as a
heritage to bequeath, you are to erase the memory of Amalek from
beneath the heaven. Do not forget." And, just like the old man in
the soccer field, and the mother and daughter, and the kids in the
pizza shop, we must never forget what Amalek did to Danny Pearl.
Marianne Pearl said that Danny Pearl's spirit lives on.
And after I am galled each time that I can go on with my day after
the choking pause when I hear about the old man, or the mother and
daughter, or the kids... or Danny Pearl, I know that going on, going
downtown, refusing to be cowed by the fear the modern-day Amaleks
spread, continuing to live life as a proud, committed Jew—that is
the only victory I understand.

This next item is excerpted from The Man in the High Castle by
Philip K. Dick "The loudspeaker at the end of the aisle
said "Achtung, meine Damen und Herren." In his seat, Mr. Baynes
started, opened his eyes. Through the window to his right he could
see, far below, the brown and green of land, and then blue. The
Pacific. The rocket, he realized, had begun its long slow descent.
In German first, then Japanese, and at last English, the loudspeaker
explained that no one was to smoke or to untie himself from his
padded seat. The descent, it explained, would take eight minutes.
The retro-jets started then, so suddenly and loudly, shaking the
ship so violently, that a number of passengers gasped. Mr. Baynes
smiled, and in the aisle seat across from him, another passenger, a
younger man with close-cropped blond hair, also smiled.
"Sie furchten dass—" the young man began, but Mr. Baynes saidat
once, in English:
"I'm sorry; I don't speak German." The young German gazed at
himquestioningly, and so he saidthe same thing in German.
"No German?" the young German said, amazed, in accented English.
"I am Swedish," Baynes said
"You embarked at Tempelhof."
"Yes, I was in Germany on business. My business carries me to a
number of countries."
Clearly, the young German could not believe that anyone in the
modern world, anyone who had international business dealings and
rode—could afford to ride—on the latest Lufthansa rocket, could or
would not speak German. To Baynes he said, "What line are you in,
mein Herr?"
"Plastics. Polyesters. Resins. Ersatz—industrial uses. Do you see?
No consumers' commodities."
" Sweden has a plastics industry?" Disbelief.
"Yes, a very good one. If you will give me your name I will have a
firm brochure mailed to you." Mr. Baynes brought out his pen and pad.
"Never mind. It would be wasted on me. I am an artist, not a
commercial man. No offense. Possibly you have seen my work while on
the Continent. Alex Lotze" He waited.
"Afraid I do not care for modern art," Mr. Baynes said"I like the
old prewar cubists and abstractionists. I like a picture to mean
something, not merely to represent the ideal." He turned away.
"But that's the task of art," Lotze said. "To advance the
spirituality of man, over the sensual. Your abstract art represented
a period of spiritual decadence, of spiritual chaos, due to the
disintegration of society, the old plutocracy. The Jewish and
capitalist millionaires, the international set that supported the
decadent art. Those times are over; art has to—go on—it can't stay
still."
Baynes nodded, gazing out the window.
"Have you been to the Pacific before?"Lotze asked.
"Several times."
"Not I. There is an exhibition in San Francisco of my work, arranged
by Dr. Goebbels' office, with the Japanese authorities. A cultural
exchange to promote understanding and goodwill. We must ease
tensions between the East and West, don't you think? We must have
more communication, and art can do that."
Baynes nodded. Below, beyond the ring of fire from the rocket, the
city of San Francisco and the Bay could now be seen.
"Where does one eat in San Francisco ?" Lotze was saying. "I have
reservations at the Palace Hotel, but my understanding is that one
can find good food in the international section, such as the
Chinatown ."
"True," Baynes said.
"Are prices high in San Francisco ? I am out of pocket for this
trip. The Ministry is very frugal." Lotze laughed.
"Depends on the exchange rate you can manage. I presume you're
carrying Reichsbank drafts. I suggest you go to the Bank of Tokyo on
Samson Street and exchange there."
"Danke sehr,"Lotze said . "I would have done it at the hotel."
The rocket had almost reached the ground. Now Baynes could see the
airfield itself, hangars, parking lots, the autobahn from the city,
the houses. . . very lovely view, he thought. Mountains and water,
and a few bits of fog drifting in at the Golden Gate .
"What is that enormous structure below?" Lotze asked. "It is half-
finished, open at one side. A spaceport? The Nipponese have no
spacecraft, I thought."
With a smile, Baynes said, "That's Golden Poppy Stadium. The
baseball park."
Lotze laughed. "Yes, they love baseball. Incredible. They have begun
work on that great structure for a pastime, an idle time-wasting
sport—"
Interrupting, Baynes said "It is finished. That's its permanent
shape. Open on one side. A new architectural design. They are very
proud of it."
"It looks," Lotze said, gazing down, "as if it was designed by a
Jew."
Baynes regarded the man for a time. He felt, strongly for a moment,
the unbalanced quality, the psychotic streak, in the German mind.
Did Lotze actually mean what he said? Was it a truly spontaneous
remark?
"I hope we will see one another later on in San Francisco ," Lotze
said, as the rocket touched the ground. "I will be at loose ends
without a countryman to talk to."
"I'm not a countryman of yours," Baynes said.
"Oh, yes; that's so. But racially, you're quite close. For all
intents and purposes the same." Lotze began to stir around in his
seat, getting ready to unfasten the elaborate belts.
Am I racially kin to this man? Baynes wondered. So closely so that
for all intents and purposes it is the same? Then it is in me, too,
the psychotic streak. A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are
in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And—how many of
us do know it? Not Lotze. Perhaps if you know you are insane then
you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I
suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and
there. But the broad masses. . . what do they think? All these
hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they
live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth. . . ?
But, he thought, what does it mean, insane? A legal definition. What
do I mean? I feel it, see it, but what is it?
He thought, It is something they do, something they are. It is—their
unconsciousness. Their lack of knowledge about others. Their not
being aware of what they do to others, the destruction they have
caused and are causing. No, he thought. That isn't it, I don't know;
I sense it, intuit it. But—they are purposely cruel . . . is that
it? No. God, he thought. I can't find it, make it clear. Do they
ignore parts of reality? Yes. But it is more. It is their plans.
Yes, their plans. The conquering of the planets. Something frenzied
and demented, as was their conquering of Africa, and before that,
Europe and Asia .
Their view; it is cosmic. Not of a man here, a child there, but air
abstraction: race, land. Volk. Land. Blut. Ehre. Not of honorable
men but of Ehre itself, honor; the abstract is real, the actual is
invisible to them. Die Güte, but not good men, this good man. It is
their sense of space and time. They see through the here, the now,
into the vast black deep beyond, the unchanging. And that is fatal
to life. Because eventually there will be no life; there was once
only the dust particles in space, the hot hydrogen gases, nothing
more, and it will come again. This is an interval, ein Augenblick.
The cosmic process is hurrying on, crushing life back into the
granite and methane; the wheel turns for all life. It is all
temporary. And they—these madmen—respond to the granite, the dust,
the longing of the inanimate; they want to aid Natur.
And, he thought, I know why. They want to be the agents, not the
victims, of history. They identify with God's power and believe they
are godlike. That is their basic madness. They are overcome by some
archetype; their egos have expanded psychotically so that they
cannot tell where they begin and the godhead leaves off. It is not
hubris, not pride; it is inflation of the ego to its ultimate
confusion between him who worships and that which is worshiped. Man
has not eaten God; God has eaten man.
What they do not comprehend is man's helplessness. I am weak, small,
of no consequence to the universe. It does not notice me; I live on
unseen. But why is that bad? Isn't it better that way? Whom the gods
notice they destroy. Be small. . . and you will escape the jealousy
of the great.
As he unfastened his own belt, Baynes said, "Mr. Lotze, I have never
told anyone this. I am a Jew. Do you understand?"
Lotze stared at him piteously.
"You would not have known" Baynes said, "because I do not in any
physical way appear Jewish; I have had my nose altered, my large
greasy pores made smaller, my skin chemically lightened, the shape
of my skull changed. In short, physically I cannot be detected. I
can and have often walked in the highest circles of Nazi society. No
one will ever discover me. And—" He paused, standing close, very
close to Lotze and speaking in a low voice which only Lotze could
hear. "And there are others of us. Do you hear? We did not die. We
still exist. We live on unseen."
After a moment Lotze stuttered, "The Security Police—"
"The SD can go over my record," Baynes said . "You can report me.
But I have very high connections. Some of them are Aryan, some are
other Jews in top positions in Berlin . Your report will be
discounted, and then, presently, I will report you. And through
these same connections, you will find yourself in Protective
Custody." He smiled, nodded and walked up the aisle of the ship,
away from Lotze, to join the other passengers.
Everyone descended the ramp, onto the cold, windy field. At the
bottom, Baynes found himself once more momentarily near Lotze.
"In fact," Baynes said, walking beside Lotze, "I do not like your
looks, Mr. Lotze so I think I will report you anyhow." He strode on,
then, leaving Lotze behind.

George Allen's Jewish Heritage Confirmed
http://politics.wizbangblog.com/2006/09/20/george-allens-jewish-
heritage-confirmed.php
In a statement on AllenHQ and in in interview with The Jewish Daily
Forward, Senator George Allen addresses the ethnicity of his parents.
Yesterday, I found it especially reprehensible that a reporter would
impugn the attitudes of my mother, as Ms. Peggy Fox did in her first
question at the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce Senate debate. My
mother and father both taught me to abhor bigotry, and Ms. Fox's
suggestion to the contrary was deeply offensive."

"The notion peddled by the Webb campaign that I am somehow
embarrassed by my heritage is equally offensive, and also absurd."
"I was raised as a Christian and my mother was raised as a
Christian. And I embrace and take great pride in every aspect of my
diverse heritage, including my Lumbroso family line's Jewish
heritage, which I learned about from a recent magazine article and
my mother confirmed."
"On several occasions through the years, I have mentioned publicly
that my mother's father was incarcerated by the Nazis. I have never
known whether he was persecuted by the Nazis because of his
nationality, his religious faith, his role as a community leader, or
his part in the anti-Nazi resistance. What I do know is that my
grandfather's imprisonment by the Nazis had a profound impact on my
mother. It was a subject she found painful to discuss and so we
almost never discussed it."
"Some may find it odd that I have not probed deeply into the details
of my family history, but it's a fact. We in the Allen household
were simply taught that what matters is a person's character,
integrity, effort, and performance - not race, gender, ethnicity or
religion. And so whenever we would ask my mother through the years
about our family background on her side, the answer always was, `Who
cares about that?'"
"My mother has lived a long and full life, and I hope and pray she
will enjoy many more years. She deserves respect and she also
deserves privacy, especially where painful memories are concerned. I
sincerely hope that simple decency will be respected."
In case you missed the question, here it is:
"It has been reported," said Fox, that "your grandfather Felix, whom
you were given your middle name for, was Jewish. Could you please
tell us whether your forebears include Jews and, if so, at which
point Jewish identity might have ended?"
In a campaign most notable for missteps, Allen's response confounds
pundits, but in our estimation plays very well to potential voters,
at a visceral, emotional level. He wasn't being questioned about a
his family history, he was being accused of hiding it. The
desperation of Jim Webb's Netroots Coordinator Lowell Feld to make
this persona matter an issue should be spotlighted by the Allen
campaign - repeatedly. Privacy, or more importantly inappropriate
incursions into ones private life, is an issue that everyone can
identify with, and voters have a history of being very supportive of
politicians requests to allow them a level of privacy in their
family - for example Clinton and Bush's protectiveness of their
daughters privacy.
This clip, where Allen's justifiable outrage at the tone and
aspersions of the question, will go along way toward erasing the
memory of the "macaca" video.

The response shows an Allen who is passionate, raw, unscripted, and
protective of his family. Anyone who thinks those qualities are a
negative with voters is just deluding themselves."
A Look at former Navy Secretary Virginia US Senate Candidate James
Webb's
tangled webs

"Secretaries of the Navy
DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY—NAVAL HISTORICAL CENTER
805 KIDDER BREESE SE—WASHINGTON NAVY YARD
WASHINGTON DC 20374-5060

James H. Webb 1 May 1987 - 23 Feb 1988
source:
http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq37-1.htm

Former Navy Secretary Virginia US Senate Candidate James Webb has
been a long
time opponent of the liberation of Iraq. When he was Secretary of
the Navy he
urged that the US attack Saddam's enemy Iran. While we support the
liberation of
both Iraq and Iran, it is clear that the US tilt towards Iraq and
against Iran
in the Iran-Iraq war helped to set Iran on its current anti-American
path.

That tilt was a major mistake. Webb's role in that tilt as Secretary
of the Navy
during part of the Iran-Iraq war is examined briefly here. Hopefully
those who
are naive enough to think of former Navy Secretary Webb as a
peacemaker will
have their eyes opened by this brief look at some of his history.

Excerpted from Pages 39-40 of SPIDER'S WEB: THE SECRET HISTORY
OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ by Alan Friedman ASIN:
0553096508

"In January 1987, as the" (Iran-Iraq)"war entered its seventh year
and the
combined death toll neared one million people, Iran began yet
another major
offensive. This time it pushed deep into Iraqi territory. Saddam
Hussein needed
help-but he also required reassurance from Washington about its
intentions,
since revelations in the Iran-Contra scandal were now detailing the
U.S. covert
military aid that had been going to his enemy, Iran. From Baghdad's
point of
view, Washington was either ambivalent or duplicitous.

Thanks to the rival pro-Iraq and pro-Iran factions inside the
government, the
United States had indeed sent out very confusing signals.
Nonetheless, the
secret shipments to Iran paled when compared with the support given
Saddam, and
William Casey led the drive to placate Iraq. He had already met with
Tariq Aziz
at the United Nations to make sure Iraq was happy with the flow of
intelligence
it was receiving, and he encouraged Aziz to go ahead with more
attacks on
Iranian economic targets.

Then netural ships in the Persian Gulf began coming under attack
from both Iran
and Iraq. Those of oil-rich Kuwait were of particular concern to the
administration. Kuwaiti leaders wanted their oil tankers protected
by either
Moscow of Washington, and in March 1987 top U.S. officials including
Caspar
Weinberger, George Schultz aand Admiral William Crowe, the chairman
of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, decided to defend Kuwaiti vessels that were
navigating the
Gulf.

Two months later, on May 17th, pro-Iraqi officials such as
Weinberger suffered
an instant case of political whiplash when a U.S. frigate, the
Stark, was
attacked by an Iraqi warplane and thirty-seven Americans on board
were
killed….The Stark incident underscored the increasingly risky state
of affairs
in the Gulf, and it was followed by a formal announcement from
President Reagan
that the United States would reflag Kuwaiti oil tankers so that the
U.S. Navy
could escort them."

You can see photos of the USS Stark in the
VICTIMS OF ARAB ATTACKS photo album at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KnowTheEnemy/

"May 17 1987, had started out as a routine day in the Persian gulf,
we were to
soon be on patrol escorting the newly flagged Kuwaiti Oil tankers.
Little Did I
know that day would change my life forever .we were always thinking
of The world
and our loved ones back at home, to get this over with do our duty
to our
country .I had just helped Daniel Homicki, move into my old bunk,
and I went on
my last watch ,my commitment to the Navy was up.

What was supposed to be a good last memory for me went horribly
wrong. The
excitement of coming home was over shadowed by an Iraqi attack that
killed 37 of
my shipmates, and wounded many more, I narrowly escaped death myself
by being on
a SH2 Sea sprite helicopter."

"USS STARK
On May 17, 1987, the Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate, USS Stark
(FFG 31) was
hit by two Exocet anti-ship cruise missiles fired by an Iraqi F-1
Mirage fighter
aircraft while operating in the central Persian Gulf. The explosion
of the first
missile caused extensive structural damage and flooding. Combustion
of the
burning propellant of both missiles immediately caused intense fires
to build
throughout the ship. There were 37 deaths and 5 injuries reported as
a result of
the attack.

"THE STARK INCIDENT
When the USS Stark (FFG-31) took a hit from a pair of Exocet
missiles in the
Persian Gulf in 1987, its port side fire mains ruptured and its
precious supply
of A-FFF Foam, which quickly extinguishes Class B oil fires, became
unavailable.
Additionally, the ship's damage control and fire fighting inventory
did not
include many of the important fire fighting and life saving
equipment that
ordinary fire fighters ashore use every day.

The Stark incident killed 37 sailors, injured 21 others and caused
$142 million
in damage to the ship. The terrorist attack on the USS Cole in 2002
caused
similar damage to the port side fire mains…

"On October 12th, 2000 terrorists in a boat laden with explosives
carried out a suicide bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in the harbor at
Aden, Yemen.
In what President Clinton described as a "despicable and cowardly
act," 17 U.S.
sailors were killed, and over 30 others were wounded."

"Iraq has the motivation and the means to actively support the
Islamist networks of the region*** In the past, there have been
intelligence reports of possible cooperation between Iraq and Osama
bin Laden. Iraq has already tried to assassinate President Bush
Senior in 1993, when he visited Kuwait as a private citizen. In the
attack on the USS Cole in Aden (in) October (of 2000), there could
have been an
Iraqi connection. Iraq has excellent relations with the anti-Western
Yemeni
Islamists of the Army of Aden-Abyan, whose militants have been
arrested by the
Yemenite authorities in connection with the attack. Such an attack
required long
preparations, technical and military skills and good operational
intelligence.
In addition, the explosive used in the attack was sophisticated,
a "shaped
charge" like a torpedo or a missile, a device not in use by terrorist
organizations, and which may have come from a military stockpile."

The USS Cole was scheduled for duty off Iraq when it was attacked.

the following is excerpted from:"A Tangled Webb By Colonel Paul E.
Roush, U.S.
Marine Corps (Retired)When James Webb wrote "Women Can't Fight" for
Washingtonian magazine in 1979, he initiated an assault that
continues to the
present day. The assault primarily is on women, but it extends much
further. It
is an assault on the Naval Academy and on the naval service. . . .

It is an assault on civilian control of the military and ultimately
on the
constitutional constraints that define the relation between citizen
and soldier.
His 1981 book, A Sense of Honor, continued to press certain elements
of the
assault. In particular, it decried congressional legislation
regarding hazing.
In an article entitled "The War on the Military Culture" in The
Weekly Standard
in January 1997, he returned again to some of the basic themes that
have marked
his writings over the years.

The content of James Webb's writing matters for several reasons.
First, he is a
person of influence—a highly decorated small-unit combat leader, an
accomplished
writer, a former Secretary of the Navy. Second, his writings are an
appeal to
the politics of resentment, one result of which is to foster
cynicism toward the
institution and the profession. Third, many midshipmen continue to
refer to his
ideas and to be shaped by them in their formative years of
preparation for
future leadership roles in the Navy and Marine Corps.

Accordingly, it is worth giving careful attention to what I see as
his central
themes.Theme #1: Stress is fungible and is the means by which
warriors are made
at the Naval Academy.Webb seems to believe that response to stress
generalizes
almost without limit. In other words, if one learns to deal with one
kind of
stress, one is assured of being able to deal with all other kinds of
stress.

He uses this theory to defend the use of physical abuse at the Naval
Academy.The
argument goes something like this: Being abused physically by those
in power is
stressful. Combat also is stressful. Learning to endure the stress
of physical
abuse therefore will allow one to face the stress of combat without
being
debilitated by it.

This belief undergirds the notion that the way for a midshipman to
become a
warrior is to submit to a regimen of pervasive, arbitrary physical
and
psychological abuse at the hands of other barely post-pubescent
midshipmen who
have never heard a shot fired in anger. These slightly older
midshipmen, despite
their utter lack of combat experience, will know how to create
warriors. They
will harass, haze, and brutalize. Then they will separate the
victims into two
piles: the worthy and the worthless. Those who submit to and thrive
on brutality
will be the worthy; those who do not tolerate it or do not thrive on
it will be
counted among the worthless.

This theme is central to "Women Can't Fight." Webb apparently
believes he owes
his prowess on the battlefield to the fact that, as a midshipman at
the Naval
Academy, he was severely beaten with a cricket bat by a group of
upperclassmen
and otherwise exposed to physical assaults. It is a major point in A
Sense of
Honor that a plebe is indoctrinated by being severely stressed by an
upperclassman—never mind that in the process the upperclassman
violates the
hazing laws legislated by Congress.

From this perspective, A Sense of Honor is an object lesson in and a
glorification of the violation of congressional legislation. Because
Congress is
granted the right to make laws governing the armed forces by the
Constitution,
the book is also a model of how one violates one's commissioning
oath to support
and defend the Constitution without any mental reservation or
purpose of
evasion.

Stress always has played a part in plebe training, but not always
did it extend
to the type of physical abuse Jim Webb recounts. Vice Admirals
William Lawrence
and James Stockdale (here, addressing the Brigade of Midshipmen),
both
distinguished leaders and warriors, noted that their Naval Academy
experience
did not include such abuse.

Theme #2: Women at the Naval Academy preclude the development of
warriors.In
"Women Can't Fight," Webb expresses the view that the presence of
women poisons
the preparation of men for combat command and that the process of
training for
combat leadership at the Naval Academy has been sterilized as a
result.

Consider the implications of this particular theme: If the presence
of women in
the college experience prevents the brutality that is necessary to
the
inculcation of warriorhood, the Marine Corps is in deep trouble.
After all,
Naval Academy graduates are a minority within the Marine Corps
officer cadre;
most of that cadre went to college with women and missed out on
being physically
abused by upperclassmen.

Does that mean that the majority of the officers in the Marine Corps
are
incompetent warriors?The answer, of course, is no; non-academy
Marine Corps
officers learn to be warriors at Quantico, which is the same place
Naval Academy
graduates learn to be the kind of warriors the Marine Corps wants.

Theme #3: Military women are the beneficiaries of a pervasive, pro-
women double
standard.In "Women Can't Fight," Webb grumbles that women are
advantaged at
every turn. He is incensed by the fact that the media spend more time
interviewing women than men, thereby conferring on women undeserved
attention
and falsely inferred merit.From the beginning, there has been
complaining about
the fact that there are differences in the physical readiness tests.

The women, it turned out, could receive a given grade with lower
scores than
were required from the men for the same grade. Of course, the men
seldom mention
the fact that they are allowed to weigh about 30 pounds more than a
woman of
their same height before being placed on a weight-control program.

When that difference is pointed out, they tend to have a sudden
burst of insight
in which they see that physiological and anatomical differences
really do need
to be taken into account.The unwarranted litany of half-truths with
regard to
alleged double standards creates—and, in my judgment, is calculated
to
create—resentment among the men.There is a particular aspect of the
politics of
resentment on which Webb's writings seem fixated, namely, resentment
against
those who ascribe leadership abilities to women.

He asserts in "Women Can't Fight" that women were being rated higher
in
leadership by officers than they had been by their male peers.
Things had gone
so far by the time Webb wrote his article that peer ratings had been
discontinued. Webb was mortified; this meant that there was no way
for a woman's
male peers to prevent her from being assigned to leadership
positions, given
what he saw as the craven propensity of the company officers to
impute unmerited
favor to female midshipmen.Webb does not explain why those male
company
officers, who had graduated from an all-male Naval Academy in which
physical
abuse was the order of the day, would be so lacking in moral
courage, so unable
to deal with the stress engendered by pressure from above that they
would lie on
command about the abilities of the women in their companies.

The implication is that women were unworthy and that all the men
knew this, but
the officers were under pressure to artificially and unfairly build
them up.
Only their male peers would tell the truth about women on their peer
evaluations.The reality was somewhat different. The male peers were
secreting
bigotry from every pore. There was not the slightest possibility
that the women
would be rated fairly by the men, who deplored their very presence
at the
institution.

Further, there is no possibility that Webb did not know this;
in "Women Can't
Fight," he frequently quoted male midshipmen's disparaging comments
about
women.Nothing so disadvantages a person as to be psychologically
rejected by his
or her peers; to be told both blatantly and more subtly that you are
not wanted;
to have your competence questioned on the basis of invidious
comparison.

However difficult plebe year may have been for men when Webb was a
midshipman or
at the time "Women Can't Fight" was published, it was made even more
difficult
by an order of magnitude for women by the threat and practice of
bigotry.

When an upperclass leader uses his position of power to refer
publicly to a
female midshipman in degrading and humiliating gender-related terms,
when she
must listen to and even participate in demeaning marching chants in
which she is
the object of ridicule, the stress engendered far exceeds that of a
beating with
a cricket bat.

The consequences of that kind of psychological sadism include
evisceration of
her self-esteem and instruction for her peers that she is an
inferior being;
that she does not belong; that she is a prime candidate for
the "worthless"
pile. Nothing could more rapidly destroy unit cohesion."Women Can't
Fight" has
been the single greatest purveyor of degradation and humiliation on
the basis of
gender that academy women have had to endure. Men, on the other
hand, were not
mocked or ridiculed because of their gender.

They were not required by their peers to go outside their own
identity to avoid
overt harassment. They did not face the threat of psychological
isolation. In
other words, men were unstressed relative to women.According to Mr.
Webb's
dictum, then, every woman graduate thereby is more prepared to be a
warrior than
all of her male counterparts.The tragedy of all this is that the
interference
with the integration process, which should not have happened at all,
would have
been over in a relatively short period were it not for the brooding
presence of
"Women Can't Fight."

Year after year, this article has taught and continues to teach a
certain number
of men about the insufferable affront of the presence of women at
the Naval
Academy.Theme #4: Women in the military remain a gigantic social
experiment.As
when it was used to oppose the racial integration of the military in
the 1950s
and 1960s, this argument is an attempt to deceive, to make
uninformed persons
believe that the only basis on which a particular minority could be
deserving of
entry into the military is that the military leadership had
capitulated to
groups with an alien agenda.

Those outside groups, it is contended, are intent on furthering
their own social
and political ends even if the consequence is to diminish the
capability of the
armed forces to fight and survive.Applying the appellation of social
experiment
to women in the military, as he does repeatedly in the January 1997
article in
The Weekly Standard, Webb continues to disseminate this propaganda.
But it is
simply not true that women in the military are a social experiment;
we have
decades of experience by which to assess the performance of women.

The issue for women in the Navy for more than 40 years was service
on combatant
ships and aircraft—the exclusion laws applied there and nowhere else—
and we have
plenty of data showing that women can fly planes and serve on ships
in a superb
fashion. Neither of these types of service is a social
experiment.Service in the
infantry was never the issue for women at the Naval Academy.
Nevertheless, a
significant portion of Webb's objection to women in any combat role
was
addressed by demonstrating how difficult it would be for women to
serve in the
infantry.

Webb had to have been aware that the legislative battle was with
regard to
service on ships and aircraft, but the case against women is, of
course, much
harder to make in those two realms—hence the shift to talking so
extensively
about women in the infantry. If this was not an intent to deceive,
it was a
splendid imitation.Theme #5: An officer's priority of loyalties may
be
disregarded in the pursuit of ideology.

In " The War on the Military Culture" Webb points out that military
officers are
taught that "policies that were strongly opposed while under
consideration will
be just as strongly implemented once [they are] decided upon." That,
of course,
is a fundamental undergirding of the professional military ethic.
Yet, in "Women
Can't Fight," Webb quotes midshipmen who speak words that defame and
slander
academy women.

It seems clear that Webb approves of—and sometimes adds to—this
vilification. In
no instance does he reprimand the men for their statements, which
are in
opposition to the legislation passed by Congress that admitted women
to the
academy.

Instead, he urges that male midshipmen who oppose women at the
academy should be
allowed to say so and to say so without fear of retribution. He calls
prohibitions on such activity censorship.If ever there was an action
intended to
break down or prevent the formation of unit cohesion, it is the
action Webb
advocates. Urging that midshipmen be permitted publicly to speak out
in
opposition to the law of the land while they remain on active duty is
inexcusable. Leaders are free to disagree up until the decision is
made; at that
point they either get on board or find another line of work.

Midshipmen or officers who insist on proclaiming in public that
women should not
be at the academy should be ushered out of the military into
civilian society,
where they may contemplate their bigotry in a setting in which they
probably
will do less harm.Midshipmen take an oath to support and defend the
Constitution. That document contains a provision that grants to
Congress the
authority to make regulations governing the armed forces.

The legislation that opened the service academies to women is a
legitimate
exercise of that authority. It also is the supreme law of the land
as defined by
the Constitution. For anyone who has taken the oath of office,
obedience is not
optional. Midshipmen, from the moment that law was passed in 1975,
were under
obligation to obey not only the letter but also the spirit of the
law. Their
duty was to do all in their power to facilitate its implementation.
Webb's
discussions in "Women Can't Fight" had to have a corrupting
influence on male
midshipmen, reinforcing the negative views they held, letting them
know that an
authority figure agreed with their perspective.

Theme #6: Webb's experience as a midshipman in the 1960s reflects
the experience
of all midshipmen before then, as well.Webb describes the Naval
Academy as
having had a consistent approach until the women arrived. I have no
doubt that
he describes the Naval Academy culture in 1964-1968 quite accurately—
other of
his classmates have confirmed much of what he writes—but on the
matter of
predecessor classes, he fails badly.

I graduated 11 years before Webb, in 1957. I never experienced a
single moment
of physical abuse as a plebe, nor am I aware of any physical abuse
being
suffered by my roommates or company mates. During plebe summer, the
time of most
significant stress today, my classmates and I did not even have
upperclass
present. A solitary, recently commissioned ensign shepherded each
company
through the two-month process. It was a time in which we learned
much, but being
away from home was about the most stressful thing we experienced.
When the
brigade returned in the fall there was plenty of stress, but it did
not extend
to physical abuse. Nor were we as exhausted as are today's
midshipmen; we slept
eight hours per night, and our academic load was significantly
lighter.

I also talked with several of our more illustrious predecessors to
find out
about their four years at Annapolis. In particular, I was interested
to talk
with retired Vice Admirals James Stockdale and William Lawrence.
These men were
prisoners of war for more than five years during the Vietnam War.
For his
service in the prison camps Admiral Stockdale was awarded the Medal
of Honor.
Admiral Lawrence served as Superintendent of the Naval Academy
during the time "
Women Can't Fight" was published. These leaders and warriors
confirmed that
their academy experience was like the one I knew and not like what
Webb
apparently has come to believe always existed.

Theme #7: Leaders are not necessarily accountable for the
performance of their
followers.When Webb writes about the 1991 Tailhook convention he
advocates an
approach that absolves leadership for its obvious abdication of
responsibility
and accountability. He frequently interprets the events as having
been caused by
a small number of drunken aviators and rejects the notion that Navy
culture was
implicated in any way. In an article in The Washington Post
entitled "The Navy
Adrift," an adaptation of his speech at the Naval Institute's 1996
Annapolis
Seminar, he described Tailhook as an event that should have been in
the news for
three to five days.

His comments then, as always, avoided the larger context of
Tailhook.Tailhook is
not about some number of drunken aviators; it is only peripherally
about sexual
assaults and other forms of sexual misconduct. Rather, it is about
staggering
professional deficiencies—in truth telling; in respect for persons;
in military
discipline; in subordination of the military to civilian control; in
understanding that unit cohesion and hence combat effectiveness is
incompatible
with bigotry. Webb's attempts to trivialize Tailhook are without
redeeming
social or military value.When Webb advocates punishing the "few
drunken
aviators" but never advocates holding the leadership accountable,
one wonders if
he has the slightest clue about the obligations of command.

Writing in the Wall Street Journal in June 1996, Republican Senators
Kay Bailey
Hutchinson and Daniel Coates pointed out a portion of those
responsibilities.
Section 5947 of Title 10 U.S. Code establishes the positive
obligation of
commanding officers to demonstrate " a good example of virtue. . . ;
to be
vigilant in inspecting the conduct of all persons who are placed
under their
command; to guard against and suppress all dissolute and immoral
practices."The
Senators pointed out that the "statute does not reflect contemporary
situational
ethics, political correctness, or feminist pressure.

It was first set forth in the Regulations for the Navy drafted by
John Adams and
approved by the Continental Congress in 1775, enacted by the U.S.
Congress in
1779, and codified at the express request of the Navy in 1956." It
is an
expression of the bedrock culture toward which Navy leadership—and
anyone who
writes about Navy leadership—should aspire.Mr. Webb's views are not
likely to
change. Based on the politics of resentment, they are the cause of
significant
harm to the naval service and to the military in general. They are
destructive
of unit cohesion. Somewhere along the line it will be important to
get into the
hands of students, perhaps in a core course, written material that
discusses the
implications for institutional culture that are embedded in Webb's
writing. One
thing is certain. Silence will not do.

The issue is too important. There must be no more free rides for
those who
would undermine what this great institution is about.Colonel Roush
is a
professor in the U.S. Naval Academy's Leadership Ethics & Law
Department. His
26-year career in the Marine Corps included tours in Vietnam and as
an attache
in Moscow. He served on the faculties of the Industrial College of
the Armed
Forces and the National War College. He holds a Ph.D from American
University."

Excerpted from Pages 41-44 of SPIDER'S WEB: THE SECRET HISTORY
OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ by Alan Friedman ASIN:
0553096508
"The summer of 1987 was dominated by diplomatic efforts to bring
peace and by a
mounting number of military incidents involving the United States
and Iran. A
navy fighter jet fired missiles at an Iranian aircraft, an American
supertanker
operated by Texaco hit a mine, and several navy men were killed when
their
helicopters and jets crashed into the sea.

At the same time, Washington was conducing black operations with the
help of a
CIA mission code-named Eager Glacier. Only fragments of this story
have been
made public up to now. It is known that the CIA sent spy planes and
helicopters
over Iranian bases starting in July 1987. In fact, the CIA's
intelligence-gathering operation soon turned military. The CIA
utilized
assistance of an American oil service company that transported its
workers on
helicopters from the Saudi air base of Dhahran to oil platforms in
the Persian
Gulf. During the day, Agency operatives flew in the company's
civilian
helicopters ; at night , they used their own aircraft to patrol ,
and eventually
they engaged in secret bombing runs. The Agency aircraft flew over
Iranian
territory, and late in the summer of 1987, having located a factory
in which
mines were being manufactured, they blew up a warehouse full of
mines. The CIA's
clandestine activities in the Gulf were followed by a more public
incident.

On Monday, September 21st, 1987, a Special Operations helicopter
equipped with
night-vision equipment spotted the Iran Ajr, an Iranian mine laying
ship,
swooped down, and fired rockets and a barrage from its machine guns.
The shots
riddled the entire side of the ship, shattering windows and piercing
the
bulkheads, stairwells, and oil barrels. Three Iranian sailors were
killed
instantly, and twenty-six were captured, including four who were
wounded . The
crew members were held briefly and then repatriated. In Washington,
President
Reagan defended the helicopter attack, claiming it was authorized by
law.

But what he did not say was that many of the military actions in the
Gulf were
being discussed on an almost daily basis by a special committee
comprised of
senior officials from the White House, the State Department, the
Pentagon, and
the CIA on a secure telephone conference line. By agreement the
truly black
operations were handled by lower-level officials in the Pentagon and
the CIA on
a highly compartmentalized basis. That way, Reagan's political
appointees could
plausibly deny any awareness of the details. The helicopter that
shot at the
Iran Ajr was a Hughes AH6 attack helicopter from… Delta Task Force
160, a
special unit, …These helicopters, nicknamed Sea Bats, were stationed
on a U.S.
barge the size of a football field that was anchored in the middle
of the Gulf….

Fifteen of these helicopters, called Little Birds by their pilots,
had been
specially modified…to spectacular effect. `These things looked
extremely
sinister', recalled a Special Forces officer who was stationed on
the barge.
'They were all black and bristling with antennas and had a huge
round sight
module about two feet in diameter stuck on a mast above the rotor
blades. That
contained radar and cameras. The impression you got, just looking at
hone of
these things on the ground, was of a giant insect staring at you
before you
die.' The Sea Bats and the Little Birds flew missions night and day,
conducting
reconnaissance and at times firing n Iranian mine layers. Some of
their
successes were made public, but when one helicopter crashed, the
accident was
kept secret. `A Marine buddy of mine saw the helicopter afterward' ,
said a
former Pentagon official, `It had been hit by our own ordnance. The
operation
was so secret that the families of the two crew members who died
were told the
men had been killed in a car crash.'

Also kept secret were the navy's black operations. Lieutenant
Colonel Charles
learned that in 1988 a couple of Mark III patrol boats were lowered
by cranes
from a barge and sent off on a decoy mission aimed at luring Iranian
gunboats
away from territorial waters and provoking an incident. 'They took
off at night
and rigged up false running lights so that form a distance it would
appear there
was a merchant ship, which the Iranians would want to inspect.
Deceptive radio
traffic was also used in that instance.'
`I talked to Marines from Fort Bragg who were given these black
missions, and
they weren't confused about what they were doing', he added. `They
said they
were at war , that their daily actions included combat activities
against Iran.

The truth, which the government has never told, is that in 1987 and
1988 there
were two operations going on in the Persian Gulf. One tracked with
President
Reagan's policy declarations, that we were there to defend
international
waterways and Kuwaiti tankers, and the other was a black operation
designed to
provoke the Iranians.'
Admiral Crowe, who had gone before the House Armed Services
Committee and denied
a press report suggesting that Congress had been misled about any
covert
operations, decided in his memoirs to address the definition of
American actions
in the Gulf. He wrote that the administration had argued in Congress
that the
Gulf operation was not subject to the War Powers Act.

`The argument was somewhat dubious, but nevertheless that was our
story and we
were sticking to it,' wrote Crowe. Years later, after he had left
government,
Frank Carlucci was asked if it was fair to say that America had been
fighting an
undeclared war. `Oh, yes, I don't think there's any question that-
well , war-
you get into semantic issues here. The military would call it more
an engagement
or a firegight…We were having problems with the War Powers Act, so I
hesitate to
use the term war, but there's no question it was a conflict.'"

Transcript: Sen. Allen and Peggy Fox at Monday's Senate Debate

Transcribed by Robert Barnes
Wednesday, September 20, 2006; 11:22 AM

Fox: Senator Allen, you have said several times that you made up the
word macaca
when referring to S.R. Sidarth, the young man of Indian heritage
born and raised
in Fairfax County who attends your alma mater. But word is a racial
slur in
French-influenced African nations, most notably Tunisia. Your
mother's
Tunisian--are you sure you never heard the word and if you were just
making up a
name, to call Sidarth, why not just call him John, something that--
rather than
something that sounds derogatory. Was it because he looked different?

Allen: I hope you're not trying to bring my mother into this matter.
I have
said, and I'll say it once again, I made a mistake. It was a
thoughtless moment.
I have apologized for it, as well I should. I had never heard that
word before,
from my mother or from anyone else. If I had any idea that in some
parts of the
world, for some cultures, that this would be an insult, I would
never use that
word, because that's not who I am, that's not how I was raised, it's
not what I
believe in.

Whether it was from my father's football teams, where he had people
from all
different parts of the country and different backgrounds--you don't
care about,
on football teams or on sports teams what someone's race or religion
is or
ethnicity is, all you care about is whether they can help the team
compete and
succeed. And that's the meritocracy that we should aspire to in our
country. And
if there's one lesson that I learned more than from anyone else it
was my
mother, whose father was incarcerated by the Nazis in World War II.
And of all
people in my life who told me about tolerance and not judging people
by their
religious beliefs or their ethnicity or their race, it is my mother.

And so I made that mistake, I will of course do better, I'm sorry I
said it.
Nonetheless, there was no intent whatsoever to insult that young man
or anyone
else. It is not who I am and that is why, by the way, state senator
Bennie
Lambert, an African American, Democrat, endorsed me last week
because he knows
my record in making sure this is a land of opportunity for all and
especially
helping out minority-serving institutions.

Fox: May I ask a follow up? Following the macaca episode, the Jewish
press
published a story on the internet that explored your possible Jewish
ancestry on
your mother's side. You've been quoted as saying your mother's not
Jewish, but
it had been reported her father, your grandfather Felix, whom you
were given
your middle name for, was Jewish. Could you please tell us whether
your
forbearers include Jews, and if so, at which point Jewish identity
might have
ended?

(Booing from the audience)

Allen: I'm glad you all have that, you have that reaction. You know
what our
first freedom in this country was? Freedom of religion, where
people's rights
are not enhanced or diminished on account of their religious
beliefs. Thomas
Jefferson was the author of that. As we try to stand up a free and
just society,
that's the first pillar of a free and just society. And to be
getting into what
religion my mother is, I don't think it's relevant, whatever one
person
believes, whatever their beliefs may be, is not relevant. So I'd
like to ask
you, why is that relevant? My religion, Jim's religion, or the
religion beliefs
of anyone out there. (applause)

My mother's French-Italian--

Fox: Honesty.

Allen:--with a little Spanish blood in her. And I was raised as she
was, as far
as I know, raised as a Christian. But if you really need to get into
such
matters--

Fox:--Honesty, that's all.

Allen: Oh, that's all? That's just all? We need, we need to get this
country
together. And I respect your right to ask questions. But let's ask
questions
about issues that really matter to people here, in Virginia, such as
how we're
going to bring this country together, make us more secure, a land of
opportunity. And I'll tell you one other thing, preserve our
foundational
values, and one of those values is freedom of religion and not
making aspersions
about people because of their religious beliefs.

Art Imitating Life or is it the other way around?
The movie industry publication Screen Daily reported, "In terms of
marketing the film, [distributor] Front Row is getting a boost from
organizations related to Hezbollah which have rung up from Lebanon
to ask if there's anything they can do to support the film."
The story then quotes Front Row Managing Director Gianluca
Chacra: "We can't go against these organizations as they could
strongly boycott the film in Lebanon and Syria."
Terror-war supporting organization Move America Forward publicized
the Chacra quote and reacted strongly against it.
"Michael Moore dismisses Americans who are upset with his film and
the impact it has in undermining support for the war against
terrorism," said Vice Chair Melanie Morgan. "At the same time, his
distribution companies are concerned about offending the
sensibilities of terrorists. That certainly gives rise to asking the
question: Whose side are you on?"
As WND reported, many theater owners are showing caution about
running overtly political film, which officially opens nationwide on
Friday.
Last month, the Moore and his partners boasted the movie would be
rolled out in more than 1,000 theaters nationwide.
Later, that number was revised to "about 1,000." The next estimate
was 750. In recent days, the guess had dropped to below 500.
"Michael Moore has made it clear that this film is nothing more than
an attempt to undermine support for the war on terrorism, and movie
theater operators have made it clear they wish to have no part in
Moore's anti-military propaganda," said Howard Kaloogian, chairman
of Move America Forward. "This movie is about as popular as ice in
Antarctica, and movie theaters are giving Michael Moore's `bash
America' flick a chilly reception."
Bush "Death" Film Coming to America
by Josh Grossberg
Sep 12, 2006, 11:15 AM PT
back to story
All kinds of controversy is coming soon to a theater near you.
Newmarket Films, the indie distribution company that brought us Mel
Gibson's polarizing The Passion of the Christ, has paid a reported
$1 million to secure U.S. distribution rights to Death of a
President, a movie that has sparked an uproar for dramatizing the
assassination of President George W. Bush.
The deal was announced on Monday, the five-year anniversary of 9/11.
But a source claimed the date was purely coincidental and that
negotiations simply had begun after the film had its world premiere
screening at the Toronto International Film Festival Sunday night.
The brainchild of British producer-director Gabriel Range, Death of
a President will air initially on Britain's Channel 4 on Oct. 9 and
will be rolled out to theaters across the U.S. in the following
months. Newmarket would not confirm whether it would time the film's
release to Election Day.
Shot like a typical television documentary, the 93-minute film uses
computer wizardry to combine archival footage of President Bush with
staged scenes to depict the murder and its aftermath. The trades
estimate the film's budget between $2 million and $4 million.
The film opens in October 2007, with the President visiting Chicago
amid demonstrations over his newly expanded powers via the so-called
Patriot Act 3. After giving a speech, he exits a hotel to his
motorcade when he is gunned down by an assassin hiding in a nearby
building.
Death of a President then focuses on the impact Bush's death has on
the country, his funeral—complete with a eulogy delivered
by "President Cheney"—and the wrongful arrest and conviction of a
Palestinian immigrant for the crime.
The seamless effects have been so convincing that many critics who
have seen the film fear it might encourage an attempt on Bush's
life.
Even actor Kevin Costner got chimed in. The Oscar winner, whose
latest film, The Guardian, is also screening at the fest, criticized
Range for not taking into account the impact such a film would have
on Bush's family.
"It's awfully hard if you're his children, his wife, his mother, his
dad; there's a certain thing we can't lose as human beings, which is
empathy for maybe the hardest job in the world," Costner said, per
contactmusic.com.
"Whether we think it's being performed right or not we can't, like,
wish...or think that's even cute."
There was no immediate comment from the White House.
Despite the built-in hype, Sunday's sold-out premiere didn't attract
any protesters and was greeted afterward with polite applause—
intermingled with a few hisses. The film failed to wow reviewers.
In its recap of the screening, the Associated Press said the
film "plays out like whodunit on a grand scale," but critic Norman
Wilner of the Toronto Metro said, "It's not as controversial as it
could be." And while praising Range's technical achievements, Daily
Variety's Todd McCarthy said, "Disappointingly, Death of a President
shrinks from its promise as a piece of genuinely radical or
adventurous speculative fiction."
Still, Range told Reuters that "the reaction of the general public
was very good."
"People didn't know what to expect," he continued. "Our film has a
very striking premise but it is not sensational or gratuitous. I
hope people will see it as a balanced film and compelling drama. It
is an oblique look at the ways the United States has changed since
9/11. We use the lens of the future to explain the past."
At a post-screening Q&A, Range defended his faux doc from
suggestions it could spark the very action it portrays.
"I think the film makes it clear it would really be a horrific
event," he said. "There have been plenty of fictional films about
assassinations, so this is not the first in that sense."
But, while Range speculated his opus wouldn't encourage any would-be
John Hinkleys, he did add that he has received a half-dozen death
threats since word of the subject matter got out.

Hutton Gibson (born 1919?) is the father of actor Mel Gibson and a
writer about religion. Following a victory on the Jeopardy! game
show, Gibson moved his family to Australia in 1968 in protest of the
Vietnam War and because he believed that changes in American society
were immoral. Gibson is a member of the "traditionalist" Catholic
Church, who believes that the Mass should still be said in Latin and
that all of the Second Vatican Council is in error. Gibson holds
that the Second Vatican Council was a secret anti-Christian plot by
both Masons and Jews. These are widely viewed as an anti-Semitic
conspiracy theory. Gibson also holds to other conspiracy theories,
such as his claim that the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were
not carried out by mostly Saudi Arabian Muslims onboard the plane,
but rather were carried out by "remote control" by a different
party. Gibson denies that the Holocaust occurred; he claims that it
is impossible for the Holocaust to have happened, since, in his
view, there would be no way to get rid of so many bodies. He claims
that "There weren't even that many Jews in all of Europe", and says
that there were more Jews in Europe after World War II, statements
disputed by all historians (charts of world Jewish population show a
steep dip between the 1920s and the 1950s). In support of his
father, Mel Gibson claims that his father's beliefs do not amount to
Holocaust denial. External links *snopes.com story about Mel Gibson

"Mel Gibson's father has gone on an explosive rant against Jews -

"They're after one world religion and one world government," Hutton

to ultimately take control over it by their doctrine."
In the bizarre interview, Gibson also said Federal Reserve Chairman

"They claimed that there were 6.2 million in Poland before the war,

He said the Germans did not have enough gas to cremate 6 million
people and that the concentration camps were just "work camps."

"Gibson's `Passion of Christ' A Potential Setback for Christian-
Jewish Relations
New York, NY, February 25, 2004 c.e. After screening the commercially
released version of Mel Gibson's film "The Passion of the Christ,"
which was virtually indistinguishable from earlier versions of the
film shown to select audiences, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL)
today said Mr. Gibson's failure to make alterations to the film and
its unambiguous portrayal of Jews as being responsible for the death
of Christ, "represents a potential setback for Jewish-Christian
relations."
Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, and Gary Bretton-
Granatoor, ADL Advisor on Interfaith Affairs, issued the following
statement:
The final version of Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" now in
theaters repeats all of the stereotypes and images surrounding the
death of Jesus that have generated anti-Semitism for 2,000 years.
We had hoped that Mel Gibson would hear our concerns and make
changes; sadly, the epiphany did not happen. Instead of listening
to our concerns about the history of the charge of deicide being
used to foment anti-Semitism through the centuries, Mr. Gibson
attacked his critics and refused to listen to the concerns of
Christians and Jews.
All we have asked for the past 11 months is for Mr. Gibson to
understand our concerns. Our request that he add a postscript to the
film, or to make other changes to help sensitize his viewers, was
not so outlandish, for another director in history, when filming his
version of the Passion, listened to our concerns and did just that.
In 1928, Cecil B. DeMille decided to revise his film "The King of
Kings" after hearing concerns from Jews, Catholics and others.
Additionally, Mr. DeMille added a forward to his film in which he
explained that the Jews, then and now, should not be held
responsible for the death of Jesus.
Unfortunately, Mr. Gibson's film represents a setback to more than
40 years of Jewish-Christian relations. Yet as problematic as the
film is, its negative consequences can be contained. The last 40
years of Church teaching has eroded the base of anti-Semitic
thinking among many Christians. We are heartened that since the
controversy began, some Christian leaders, including the United
States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and Ecumenical and
Evangelical Protestant leaders, have stood up for the new Church
teachings about Jews. It is critical that in the weeks and months
ahead, many more Christians stand up against the demonizing of Jews
that has led to tragic anti-Semitism.
We are greatly concerned about how this film will be received by the
public in countries in Europe, South America and the Middle East
that will not have had the benefit of the discussion, debate and
sensitivity that has taken place in this country surrounding Mr.
Gibson's film. The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the
world's leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs
and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry."
February 16, 2004
IN WAKE OF "PASSION" CONTROVERSY—WIESENTHAL CENTER LAUNCHES "AN
APPEAL TO PEOPLE OF FAITH" CAMPAIGN TO STRENGTHEN JEWISH/CHRISTIAN
RELATIONS
The controversy surrounding the film The Passion of the Christ has
given rise to misconceptions and distortions that threaten the
status of Jewish/Christian relations. With the hope of continuing
the attitude of fruitful and collegial dialogue that has marked
these relations in the United States for the past half-century, the
Center is sending "An Appeal to People of Faith" to select
leadership of all branches of the Christian faith. "Though we may
differ over the film," said Rabbi Marvin Hier, Founder of the
Wiesenthal Center, "our long term objectives to fighting bigotry and
speaking out against antiSemitism are too important to ignore."
"An Appeal to People of Faith" is a document that has a three-fold
purpose:
· To address the spate of misinformation regarding Jewish
sentiment to the film.
· To reiterate the Jewish community's gratitude for decades of
work on the part of the Christian community to distance itself from
the religious roots of antiSemitism.
· To encourage the Christian community to proclaim that the
Crucifixion's message is not one of violence or blame and that there
is no room in Christian teaching to support the notion that today's
Jews should be seen as the killers of God.
Included in the document is a background document that details the
progress of Jewish/Christian relations in the 20th Century and how
the recent worldwide resurgence of antiSemitism threatens to
undermine much of that progress.
"An Appeal to People of Faith"
http://www.wiesenthal.com/social/press/pr_item.cfm?ItemID=8932
AN APPEAL TO PEOPLE OF FAITH
Pope Pius XI, 1937: "Anti-Semitism is a movement which is repulsive.
It is not possible for Christians to be a part of it. Anti-Semitism
is not permitted. We are spiritually Jews though Christ."
Pope John Paul II, 1997: "In the Christian world—I do not say on the
part of the Church as such—erroneous and unjust interpretations of
the New Testament regarding the Jewish people and their alleged
culpability have circulated for too long, engendering feelings of
hostility towards this people."
Theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1944: "Only those who cry out for
the Jews may sing Gregorian chants."
With much of the world spiraling towards ever-greater religious
conflict, the United States remains the merciful exception. In so
many ways, the last few decades have nudged Jews and Christians
closer to the brotherhood they should share.
Across the spectrum, Catholic and Protestant churches have taken
extraordinary measures, rare in the previous two millennia, to
preach understanding and tolerance for Jews. In both Catholic and
Protestant publications, articles in church papers and entries in
religious encyclopedias have urged the work of urging tolerance and
respect for the people into whose midst Jesus was born, and the
religion he himself observed.
Among millions of good, church-going Americans, these beliefs are
taken for granted. Many see them as so self-evident that they are
troubled and pained by the reaction of many Jewish leaders to the
forthcoming release of Mel Gibson's dramatization of the Passion. A
succession of Christian leaders from the gamut of churches and
denominations has declared that the Passion is about love, and love
alone. Nothing in the story or its depiction should ever incite
prejudice, let alone violence, against Jews. Finally, they ask: What
do Jews want?
This letter is an explanation and a plea for understanding—and for
help.
To strengthen the growing harmony that has marked the relationship
between our communities in recent decades, we would like you to
understand what is true—and what is not true —about Jewish concerns.
We also need your help as Christians to prevent what we see as a
potential problem. It is a problem we Jews cannot solve, and so we
appeal to you.
Firstly, we want you to understand that many claims about our
position are patently false. There was no Jewish plot to prevent the
release of The Passion of the Christ. We recognize the centrality of
the Crucifixion to Christians, and we appreciate your frustration
with an entertainment industry that often trivializes or travesties
religious conviction and feeling.
We do want you to understand why we are concerned. The issue is as
urgent as global anti-Semitism.
We thank God that church groups, increasingly since World War II,
have strongly and forcefully distanced themselves from anti-Jewish
behaviors of the past. We know that adherents to Christian teaching
relate to the Passion as a source of love. For many hundreds of
years, however, there were those who often came away from depictions
of the Passion —in both Catholic and Protestant lands—with a very
different conclusion. It was not one of love, but of hatred and
rapacious anti-Jewish violence. We know what lessons your followers
will take from the film, but we are not so sure about others who are
ignorant or ill-disposed. The world has not changed as much as we
would like. Especially outside of the United States—in Latin
America, in Europe, in the Middle East, in Muslim areas of Asia—anti-
Semitism has snowballed in recent years, escalating to levels not
seen since the 1930s. We want you to understand the source and
seriousness of our fears
We hope you will counsel us and cooperate with us regarding prudent
action now, even if our concerns ultimately prove exaggerated.
In earlier times, before the recent, strong statements of church
groups condemning anti-Semitism, there was a direct, unmistakable
line that could be drawn from assumptions about the Jewish role in
the Crucifixion, and the way Jews were mistreated over the course of
many centuries. We believe that not all of that feeling has
disappeared. We can show that graphic depictions of Jewish
involvement has led to mortal danger to Jews in the past, that anti-
Jewish depictions are still being exploited today for political
purposes, and that there is no guarantee that such violence could
not happen again.
People of faith have an obligation to see that mutual ignorance does
not complicate and escalate their disagreements. This is a two-way
street. For Jews, it means understanding Christian doctrine and
respect for sacred scripture. For Christians, it means understanding
and appreciation of the well-founded basis of Jewish fears that, now
as in the past, portrayals of Jesus' arrest, trial, and execution
may be misunderstood or distorted to incite antisemitic hatred and
violence, thereby falsifying the authentic Christian message.
· In Slovakia in 1942, a Vatican official refused to intervene
on behalf of Jewish children slated for deportation because: "There
is no innocent blood of Jewish children in the world. All Jewish
blood is guilty. You have to die. This is the punishment that has
been awaiting you because of that sin [of deicide]."
· In the 1960s, at the height of Christian and Jewish
cooperation in the moral crusade for Civil Rights, the sociologists
Charles Y. Glock and Rodney Stark discovered that 60 percent of
American Protestants and 46 percent of American Catholics believed
that "Jews are still unforgiven for the death of Jesus." Glock and
Stark "were entirely unprepared to find the religious roots of anti-
Semitism so widespread in modern society."
· In 2004, the official web site of the government of Qatar
complains that Jews have "gotten the Vatican to drop the Catholic
belief that the Jews were the Christ's killers!"
· Visiting Syria in 2001, Pope John Paul II had to bear in
silence a tirade by young President Bashir Assad against those
who "try to kill the principles of all religions with the same
mentality in which they betrayed Jesus Christ and the same way they
tried to betray and kill the Prophet Muhammad."
· A study of current-day Hungarian text books showed that they
virtually ignored the Holocaust while portraying ancient Jews
as "murderers of Christ" and modern Jews as "enemies of the Germans."
· In April, 2002, the Italian newspaper, La Stampa, ran a
front-page cartoon showing the Baby Jesus hiding from an Israeli
tank in a manger with the caption: "Surely they don't want to kill
me again?"
· Earlier this year, a New Jersey college campus was blanketed
with 500 posters showing a Palestinian crucified on a Star of David.
· Syrian Defense Minister Mustafa Tlass's 1985 book, The
Matzah of Zion, reviving the charge that Jews committed ritual
murder in Damascus in 1840, may soon be made into a motion picture,
touted by the producer as "the Arab answer to Schindler's
List." "Conspiracy
Theory"
Mel Gibson plays Jerry Fletcher in the movie "Conspiracy Theory"
"Jerry (Fletcher)'s apartment features front covers from the John
Birch Society's "New American" magazine pinned to its walls. The
chairman of the John Birch Society is the distinguished conspiracy
researcher John McManus, who also happens to be a traditional
Catholic—just like Mel Gibson.
Indeed, Mel Gibson is the son of a conspiracy theorist. His father
Hutton has written a book which claims that Pope Paul VI was not a
true pope. (Some critics have claimed that Gibson's character
condemns the Catholic Church, in a scene with a group of nuns in
Fletcher's taxi—but actually he only condemns the Vatican, which is
in keeping with traditional Catholic views of modernist Rome's
intrigue).
Off the set, Mel Gibson, as quoted by a Warner Brothers publicist,
opined: "As far as conspiracy theories go, I give some credence to
them. You hear something that might be and it's fascinating to think
that there's an element of truth to that. I have no doubt that
there's a covert force at work somewhere, keeping things undercover
and admitting only certain things to the public."

"Somebody has to
lift the scab... the festering scab
that is the Vatican.
-Mel Gibson in CONSPIRACY THEORY
The Enemy Is Here!
Hutton Gibson
(1994) This is a fairly obsessive 500-page tirade, self-published by
movie star Mel Gibson's father, about the false Church doctrines
emanating from Rome since Vatican II. Gibson, Sr., has spent the
last 20 years or so publishing a periodical in Australia which
serves as a vehicle for his fulminations against
the "liberalization" of the Catholic Church. This book compiles the
most significant of Gibson's articles. Being myself a confirmed
heathen, most of the doctrinal recriminations go completely over my
head, but I can glean that Gibson has no truck with the "new mass"
in which grape juice is substituted for wine, nor for any alteration
of Catholic strictures against divorce, evolutionary theories, birth
control (even "natural" birth control) and "ecumenicalism." Since
all the popes since 1958 have been heretics, Gibson says, the post
has been "ipso facto" vacant all these years. Yet the Catholic
Church remains the One and True Church, whose mission is to convert
every human on the planet to its original, "traditional" teachings.
It is the obligation of militant Catholic laymen, like Gibson, to
set the record straight and abandon false teachings of blasphemous,
wicked men in clerical garb whom have gone so far as to allow
Freemasons into the Church. Even the excommunicated "traditionalist"
priest Marcel Lefebvre is dismissed by Gibson, since "the enemy
always creates its false opposition." As a prose stylist, Gibson
does have his moments. "It washes the brain. It slithers by and
leaves the great majority unaware of its slimy passage, unaware its
rulers have emerged from deep-laid plots and introduced massive
subversion." Yet there is something profoundly disturbing about the
book. After reading a few pages, you can close your eyes and easily
imagine the sounds of the crackling fire, the cries of agonized
repentance, and maybe even catch a whiff of human flesh burning at
the stake.

Is the Pope Catholic?
Hutton Gibson
(1978) Mel "Braveheart" Gibson's dad, Hutton, has a bone to pick
with the Catholic Church, and its recent line of false Popes. (See
listing for Hutton's other book, "The Enemy is Here!") In this book
he focuses on Paul VI as the anti-pope who has softened the Church's
intolerance of heretics. Heretics are everyone who has heard
Catholic teachings but didn't sign on. They are all going to hell,
the traditionalists say. Maybe not, said Paul VI. You're the Anti-
Christ, says Gibson. "The object of our war is victory. It is no
game to win or lose. Shirked wars are irretrievably lost. Limited
wars end like Korea or Vietnam. Compromise equals treachery, which
requires neither intent nor even consciousness on the part of the
traitor. More often it grows out of `normal' mistaken attitudes
developed in the modernist climate fostered by subversives.
Treachery, then, is not necessarily subjective, overt, or culpable;
it remains treachery, nevertheless, in fact." Gibson doesn't like
the changes he sees in the Church at all, especially its drift
into "liberation theology" communism.

Chavez: Descendants of “Christ-killers” Control the World
At Mideast Dispatch Archive, Tom Gross points out that Venezuelan strongman Hugo
Chavez is joining ranks with Iranian “president” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and
spewing anti-Semitism reminiscent of 1930s Germany: Venezuelan President Chavez:
“The descendants of the Christ-killers” control the world.
Speaking at a rehabilitation center on December 24th,2005 the controversial
left-wing president said “the descendants of those who crucified Christ... have
taken ownership of the riches of the world, a minority has taken ownership of
the gold of the world, the silver, the minerals, water, the good lands, petrol,
well, the riches, and they have concentrated the riches in a small number of
hands.”

Simon Wiesenthal Center Condemns Statements Made by Venezuelan President Which
Banalize The Holocaust
The Simon Wiesenthal Center condemned statements made by Venezuelan President
Hugo Chavez, who said, “Hitler was nothing compared to (former Spanish Prime
Minister Jose Maria) Aznar.”
“Chavez’ statements are an offense to the memory of millions of victims
massacred by the Nazis,” said Shimon Samuels (Director for International Liaison
of the SWC) and Sergio Widder (Latin American Representative).
“These kinds of comments are not the result of ignorance but an absolute
contempt for the victims of the Nazi regime. Chavez’ political culture, which
allowed him to present Ho Chi Minh and Gamal Abdel Nasser as role models during
the recent Summit of South American and Arab Countries allows us to believe that
he is fully concious about who Adolf Hitler was and what he did. The Wiesenthal
Center demands a public retraction and apology by Chavez for his offense against
the memory of Hitler’s victims and against those who suffered and survived the
Nazi hell,” they added.
Chavez’ statements were a response to criticism by Aznar, who had said that the
Venezuelan President represents “the populist model which perverts democratic
institutions”.
“It is unacceptable to banalize the Holocaust and to play with the memory of the
victims of Nazi barbarism as Chavez did”, Samuels and Widder concluded.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center is one of the largest international Jewish human
rights organizations with over 400,000 member families in the United States. It
is an NGO at international agencies including the United Nations, UNESCO, the
OSCE, and the Council of Europe.

SWC CONDEMNS ANTISEMITIC STATEMENTS BY VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT HUGO CHAVEZ –
DEMANDS PUBLIC APOLOGY
The Simon Wiesenthal Center strongly condemned antisemitc statements by the
President of Venezuela, Hugo Chávez Frías, who had said that “the world has
wealth for all, but some minorities, the descendants of the same people that
crucified Christ, have taken over all the wealth of the world”. Chávez made this
statements during a celebration of Christmas, last Dec. 24, at a rehabilitation
center.
In a letter to Chávez, Shimon Samuels (Director for International Relations of
the SWC) and Sergio Widder (Latin American Representative), stated that “in your
words we find two central arguments of antisemitism: the canard of the deicide
and the association of Jews with wealth. Both elements have been the perfect
excuse to justify persecution and murder of Jews along two millenia.
The letter adds that “it is paradoxical that the president of the country which
will soon host the most renowned meeting of progressive thinking, the World
Social Forum, uses this medieval and reactionary language. Your words sound very
similar to those by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad when he denied the
Holocaust, thus causing the rejection of the overwhelming majority of the
international community”.
“Our Center condemns your antisemitic statements. Such offense to universal
humanistic values demands an immediate and public apology. Your silence can only
be interpreted as a reaffirmation of a racist conception”, the letter concludes.
Samuels and Widder added that “the Center will call on governments of Argentina,
Brasil, Paraguay and Uruguay, as well as on the Presidency of MERCOSUR (South
American Common Market), to freeze the process of incorporation of Venezuela to
this bloc until Chávez makes a public apology for his antisemitic statements.

The Truth Will Out With A Little Help From You
There are so many lies being told by the Modern Ministry of Truth,
sometimes known as the "mainstream media" and its allies who
create "movies", and "TV shows", so many of which seem to so many of
us to be designed to push a particular "line". It kind of reminds
us of the "Ministry of Truth" in the famous book by Eric Blair,
writing as George Orwell, whose title was "1984". In that book the
function of the Ministry of Truth was to create lies.
So the Modern Ministry of Truth creates lie after lie after lie. The
military-industrial complex in the U.S., that former President
Eisenhower warned us about, was just one part of the multi-national
military industrial complex, spanning both the East and the West,
that armed Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction, and
other weapons, and that continues to arm a variety of regimes around
the world.
Is it any surprise the Modern Ministry of Truth denies that Saddam
had weapons of mass destruction. After all if those weapons were
found they would be evidence of the crimes involved in arming Saddam
with them.
But then there are connections between the Modern Ministry of Truth,
and the multi-national military industrial complex, that spans both
the East and the West, that run so deep it is mind-boggling to think
about them. Yet think about them, and expose them, we must, if ever
the world is to be free from such things. For if the world is not
freed from the yoke of the multi-national military industrial
complex, that spans both the East and the West, it will surely some
day, perhaps sooner rather than later, slip into a catastrophic war
which sees weapons of mass destruction used on an unimaginable and
horrific scale that may very well bring an end to all life on earth.

Art Imitating Life or is it the other way around?

"Walking The Walk
Lieberman's faith has been so central to his life that even his
political foes
know to respect it
By RICHARD LACAYO
August 14, 2000

It was almost exactly two years ago, at that moment in the Lewinsky
matter when
Bill Clinton was making his sweatiest dodges about "inappropriate"
behavior,
that Bill Bennett, the saturnine Republican, phoned Joe Lieberman,
the deeply
religious Democrat. For several years Lieberman had been Bennett's
partner in a
fight against Jerry Springer, blood-spurting video games, Marilyn
Manson and the
general run of rap lyrics. Now Bennett wanted Lieberman to speak to
Clinton.
"You need to tell him to resign," he said, "because you're Nathan."
Nathan? Bennett, a devout Roman Catholic, knew that Lieberman, an
Orthodox Jew
deeply immersed in the Bible, did not need to be reminded that
Nathan was the
prophet sent by God to upbraid King David for inappropriate behavior
with
Bathsheba. "I thought [Lieberman] was the closest thing in the
Senate to an Old
Testament prophet," says Bennett….
You don't have to be religious to hold Jerry Springer and Marilyn
Manson in
contempt, but it's especially easy to see how Lieberman's fight
against them
grows out of his religious scruples."

CLINTON FRENCH CONNECTIONS TO GEORGE ALLEN LYNCHING
The first item below is excerpted from the Hillary Rodham Clinton, Biography which may be found at:
http://clinton1.nara.gov/White_House/EOP/First_Lady/html/HILLARY_Bio-plain.html “In the summer of 1994, they (Hillary Rodham Clinton and then President Bill Clinton),traveled to Naples, Italy, again for the G-7 Summit.” Whether it was at that summit, or at some other time, we suspect that Hillary Rodham Clinton may well have met with none other than Anne Lauvergeon. Anne Lauvergeon is listed as number eight in The 100 Most Powerful Women at:
http://www.forbes.com/lists/2006/11/06women_Anne-Lauvergeon_YTCZ.html
The Delegations of France and the United States are described below: “G-7 Summit Naples , Italy July 8th-10th, 1994 France :
François Mitterrand, President of the Republic
Alain Juppé, Minister of Foreign Affairs
Edmond Alphandéry, Minister of the Economy
Anne Lauvergeon, Personal Representative
United States :
William J. Clinton, President
Warren Christopher, Secretary of State
Lloyd Bentsen, Secretary of the Treasury
Robert Fauver, Personal Representative”
at:
http://www.g7.utoronto.ca/summit/1994naples/delegation.html

We wonder if Anne Lauvergeon and Hillary Rodham Clinton may have met at some function or other of something called the “Young Leaders Program”. The program is described as: “The Young Leaders is the flagship program of the French-American Foundation and continues to be central to the Foundation’s success in deepening understanding between France and the United States. The program was created in 1981 in response to observations that the close working relationships between French and American leaders in the post-war period were waning as new, younger leaders rose with little exposure to their transatlantic counterparts. From its inception, the program has taken small groups of carefully selected up-and-coming leaders in government, business, the media, the military and the non-profit sector and provided them the opportunity to spend four days discussing issues of common concern and, most importantly, getting to know each other. The relaxed atmosphere and the off-the-record nature of the conferences have fostered trenchant and open discussions of policy and social issues, and have been very successful in facilitating the development of a new network of transatlantic leaders. The 18 meetings which have been held since 1981 have been attended by 250 influential men and women, many of whom have gone on to positions of significant responsibility. Young Leaders include such prominent American as President Clinton, Senators Bill Bradley and Hillary Clinton, General Wesley Clark, …as well as business leaders… On the French side, past participants include several distinguished business leaders, such as, Anne Lauvergeon (with Areva)…Roundtables are moderated by past participants with relevant expertise. An emphasis is always placed on creating an informal, frank dialogue: discussions are therefore strictly off-the-record. The group stays together throughout the length of the conference,with meals, free time and group activities providing further opportunities to develop personal relationships and networks, and promote cross-cultural understanding....”

“Iran Asks France to Oversee Enrichment
October 3rd, 2006 By ANGELA CHARLTON Associated Press Writer PARIS A top Iranian nuclear official proposed Tuesday that France create a consortium to enrich uranium in Iran, saying that could satisfy international demands for outside oversight of Tehran ‘s nuclear program. “To be able to arrive at a solution, we have just had an idea. We propose that France create a consortium for the production in Iran of enriched uranium,” Mohammad Saeedi, deputy chief of Iran ‘s Atomic Energy Organization, told France-Info radio.”That way France , through the companies Eurodif and Areva, could control in a tangible way our enrichment activities,” he said.
Eurodif is a branch of Areva, a French state-controlled nuclear manufacturer, and was created in part with Iranian backing in the 1970s.”...European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana gave a cautious response to the proposal, saying the idea of a consortium had long been discussed in his talks with Larijani. “It’s an interesting thing, but it’s difficult to put it in place,” Solana said on the sidelines of an EU defense ministers’ meeting in Finland .Iranian state television, in a commentary Tuesday, said the proposal amounted to a “a test ... to assess the extent of the French government’s realism and flexibility.” It said timing of the proposal following talks between Larijani and Solana “shows Iran ‘s determination in seeking a negotiated settlement” over Tehran ‘s nuclear activities....Iran’s participation in Eurodif was reduced after the 1979 revolution, and now Iran has a “purely financial” stake of about 11 percent through a joint French-Iranian company called Sofidif, Hufnagel said.”

“It was hardly a secret that Saddam was aiming to develop nuclear weapons. He ahd already shelled out $3 billion, purchasing much of the equipment from the french. Indeed Saddam had even given an interview to a Lebanese journalist in 1975 in which he called his dealilngs with France “the first concrete step toward the production of the Arab atomic weapon.”

“Although Saddam had been obtaining most of his arms from the Soviet Union since the early 1970s, the top of the line equipment he really craved was Western. So he had begun cultivating the Europeans, especially the French, and in September 1975 he found himself flying into Paris for a champagne reception offered by Prime Mnister Jacques Chirac. It was not long before France, which saw billions of francs worth of business just over the horizon, began selling Saddam missiles, helicopters, defense electronics, and ultimately the materials and technology he needed to construct a nuclear reactor. So obvious was his intended use of this technology that the French press even allowed itself some grim humor, referring to the Iraqi reactor as “O’Chirac” . After he apporved the Osirak deal and other weapons transactions for Baghdad, he became known in certain French business circles as “Mr.Iraq.”

“Allivane did not discriminate between the two combatants in the Iran-Iraq war. Back in 1983, it had signed up as a subcontractor for Luchaire, a French company that was selling the popular 155-mm shell to Iran. The Luchaire sales, based on false end-user certificates, were appproved at cabinet level in Paris and contradicted France’s officially stated policy of neutrality. When they became public, they caused a political fracas.”

OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ by Alan Friedman ASIN:
0553096508
“If Baghdad’s nuclear weapons ambitions were acknowledged by London and Washington at the same time they were officially condemmed by them, the same was true of Iraqi chemical weapons development. The Iraqis would frequently order BNL to provide funds to finance a huge petrochemicals complex called PC2, located above seventy kilometers south of Baghdad, near the natural gas feeder lines that came from the southern oil fields. PC2 was to be the pride of the Iraqi military establishment because it had the support of contractors from the United States, Japan, Italy, France and Britain. More significant, as Western intelligence agents knew, although PC2 would manufacture normal petrochemicals upon completion, like many of Saddam’s disquised operations, it would be dual-use. This meant it would be able to generate chemical compounds needed to make mustard gas and nerve gas as well. The head of Iraq’s chemicals industry, Lieutenant General Amer Hamoudi al Saadi, was proud of PC2. Al Saadi was himself a dual operative-his other job was as head of Saddam’s ballistic missile and chemical weapons programs, reporting to Hussein Kamel and his father-in-law, Saddam Hussein.”
One focus of this post is the alleged French connection in the George Allen lynching. We wonder if anyone knows if the James Webb mentioned immediately below might have been a relative of the James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb, who is running for Senate in Virginia.

A former Marine’s favorite books on the military.

BY JAMES WEBB
Saturday, May 27, 2006 12:01 a.m. EDT
Mr. Webb, former secretary of the Navy, is the author of eight
books, including “Fields of Fire,” a novel about the Vietnam War. He
is now a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Virginia.

Hell In a Very Small Place” by Bernard Fall (Lippincott, 1966). For anyone who believes that France’s Dien Bien Phu operation in Vietnam in 1954 was little more than a blunder, and for anyone who believes that the French were not capable fighters in Vietnam, this comprehensive and often surprising nonfiction account of the siege that brought France to its knees will be a deserved surprise. Bernard Fall, the Frenchman who was the most perceptive observer of Vietnam’s shaky march away from French colonialism, wrote several books about Vietnam; he was killed while on a patrol with the U.S. Marines in 1966. This book—his best—shows us the under appreciated complexities of that war, the regional issues that drove many local decisions and the tragic heroism of France’s finest fighting forces.

Given the Webb campaign’s history of “alleged” anti-Semitism we were hardly surprised by Webb’s choice of another favorite book, this one from the perspective of one of Hitler’s soldiers.
Here is Webb commenting on another of his favorite books:
“The Forgotten Soldier” by Guy Sajer (Harper & Row, 1971). This memoir from the perspective of one who fought on the German side in World War II is probably the most overwhelming book ever written about ground combat. Guy Sajer, an Alsatian drafted into the German army, fought for three years as an infantry soldier, mostly on the Russian front. Germany fielded an army of 12 million soldiers and lost 3.7 million combat dead, a preponderance of those casualties occurring in the mind-boggling, massive engagements with the Soviets. Sajer, who had no politics and little enthusiasm for soldiering, nonetheless demands an understanding of the immensity of this human experience, and is the perfect voice to ask for it.”
http://www.opinionjournal.com/weekend/fivebest/?id=110008438
“Francois Mitterrand’s political career spanned half a century, and his 14 years as president made him France ‘s longest serving leader since Napoleon III. Peter Morgan of Independent Television News remembers Mitterrand just after his death. Morgan’s report precedes a discussion between Washington Post senior foreign correspondent Jim Hoagland and Charlayne Hunter-Gault.
PETER MORGAN, ITN: Francois Mitterrand worked at first for Marshal Petain’s pro-Nazi Vichy government. Later, he downplayed his ties with that regime and stressed his work for the Resistance. FRANCOIS MITTERRAND: (speaking through interpreter) I started my political life in the Resistance. It was there that I had my first responsibility.
PETER MORGAN: But a recently discovered photograph showing Mitterrand with Marshal Petain suggested a more uncomfortable truth. Mitterrand continued to lead a political double life, cultivating the extreme right and the extreme left to further his career. Soon after the liberation, Mitterrand joined the government as its youngest minister, but when DeGaulle returned to power in 1958, Mitterrand left the government. In political exile, the former conservative discovered Socialism. DeGaulle always ridiculed the conversion.” http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/remember/mitterrand_1-8b.html “A recent biography revealed Mitterrand flirted with fascism as a young man and was also, for a time, an admirer of the pro-Nazi collaborationist leader Marchal Petain. Mitterrand himself helped the author’s research and never disavowed the facts presented in the biography.” http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9601/mitterand/ “Even in death, Mitterrand remains a controversial and contradictory figure. After the Nazi conquest of France , he spent a year working for the collaborationist Vichy government… he defended associates who had aided the persecution of Jews under the Vichy regime.” http://www.amazon.com/Francois-Mitterand-Ronald-Tiersky/dp/0312129084 Bitter Scent : The Case of L’Oreal, Nazis, and The Arab Boycott Michael Bar-Zohar Publisher Information:
New York : Dutton. Penguin, 1996.
ISBN: 0525940685
“The business of L’Oreal is beauty. It is the world’s largest cosmetics firm.” This startling book shows the other face of beauty. It is the story of how this giant company became a haven for ex-Nazis. It reveals the illegal alliance the L’Oreal forged with the Arab Boycott Bureau. And it brings to light the secret link between the L’Oreal high command and the President of France himself, Francois Mitterrand—a link cast in the darkness of the Nazi past. Above all, it tells the story of what happened when L’Oreal partner Jean Frydman, a former French Resistance hero who had fought against anti-Semitism all his life, stumbled upon and exposed the shocking truth about L’Oreal and its web of concealed Nazi collaborators. Making it his crusade to unmask the cosmetics firm’s long history of Nazi connections, Frydman filed suit against L’Oreal for forgery, perjury, and racial discrimination. “Though the Nazi movement of the 1930s and 1940s appears to be moribund, vestiges still remain—and in some unlikely places. Official biographer of David Ben-Gurion and novelist, Bar-Zohar documents the very strange truth of how certain top L’Oreal managers collaborated with Hitler and how they conspired to eradicate an existing Arab boycott on their products in the 1990s. The story begins—and ends—with Jean Frydman, a French-Israeli executive running one of the cosmetic giant’s subsidiaries. Told to resign for no apparently valid reason, Frydman launched a series of investigations and lawsuits that eventually led to the resignations of high-ranking businessmen. Jacques Correze, the president of L’Oreal’s Cosmair in New York City , was part of La Cagoule, a band of Hitler sympathizers; and Andre Bettencourt, a L’Oreal director and friend of French president Mitterrand, was found to have been on the payroll of the propaganda ministry of Nazi Germany. Revelations such as these shocked the world press—and will probably do the same for readers in this well-wrought, fact-filled book.”
Library Journal: “Bar-Zohar. a specialist on Jewish-Arab relations, presents another masterpiece (previously published in Israel ) about the corruptions and violations of France ‘s anti-boycott laws by L’Oreal, a giant French conglomerate, with the ‘zealous cooperation of the French embassy in Damascus ‘ and other important French dignitaries. Bar-Zohar relates how L’Oreal yielded to the Arab boycott of Israeli products, which started even before the birth of the state of Israel . He also gives a fascinating look into France ‘s murky past during World War II, following the complex story of President Francois Mitterand’s right-wing connections during his youth, activities as an official of the Petain government at Vichy , and his continued and shadowy ties with top L’Oreal executives. The author also delves into the shadowy past of L’Oreal owner Andre Bettencourt, a cabinet minister, senator, and recipient of the Resistance medal who was on the payroll of the Propaganda Ministry of Nazi Germany. Bar-Zohar’s work is richly detailed and clearly argued but not well documented. It is a remarkable work designed for nonspecialists.”
Publishers Weekly: “In 1989, Jean Frydman, a director of L’Oreal, the highly profitable Paris-based cosmetics conglomerate, learned he had “resigned” at a board of directors meeting that never actually took place. A hero of the French Resistance, founder of Paravision (a L’Oreal subsidiary), a Jew and a part-time resident of Israel , Frydman suspected that his resignation had been forged to meet the demands of the Arab League, which, at that time, was enforcing an illegal ban in both France and the U.S. on businesses with ties to Israel . He later began to suspect that the instigator of his removal was Jacques Correze, a former Nazi collaborator and convicted war criminal who was head of the company’s U.S. operation.
The ensuing lawsuits created a scandal in France . As retold by Bar-
Zohar, a novelist and a biographer of David Ben-Gurion, L’Oreal was
a hotbed of former Nazi sympathizers all too willing to bribe and be
pressured by anti-Zionists. It also had friends in high places, Bar-
Zohar claims, as high as French President Francois Mitterand.”

“Trouble With Uranium Processing Co. H. Josef Hebert
Associated Press April 11, 2000 WASHINGTON (AP) - Less than two years after the government sold its uranium business, the private company it created to take on the job is mired in financial quicksand. The deal is also jeopardizing a crucial nuclear security agreement with Russia , critics say. USEC Inc.’s (NYSE:USU -news) first 20 months as a private company have been anything but smooth. Its stock has dropped 70 percent, its credit rating is in junk bond territory, and its earnings have nose dived. Amid the financial turmoil, lawmakers and others are questioning the sale. A congressional investigation has been under way for a year, with the first public hearings scheduled this week. While investors have lost millions of dollars, some of the people who pushed hardest for an initial stock offering have profited handsomely.
“A number of lobbyists, company insiders and investment bankers made a killing financially,” said Charles Lewis, director of the Center for Public Integrity, a private government watchdog.
In all, Wall Street bankers, Washington lawyers and lobbyists – many with close ties to the Clinton administration – earned more than $75 million on the $1.9 billion sale, according to contracts and interviews. Among those talking up the stock offering in 1998 on Capitol Hill and in the White House were Susan Thomases, a New York lawyer and confidante of Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Greg Simon, formerly Vice President Al Gore’s domestic policy adviser. The law firm of Skadden Arps, which represented President Clinton in the Paula Jones case, was USEC’s lead attorney in the deal.”
This from another source:
“What Wilson Didn’t Say About Africa Joseph Wilson’s Silent Partners By Fedora with help from a few FReeper friends Former ambassador Joseph Wilson has been a leading spokesman for critics who accuse President Bush of basing his case for war against Iraq on forged documents purporting that Iraq attempted to buy uranium from Niger.
Wilson’s charge has been discredited by a Senate investigation,1 but
what
remains unanswered are questions arising from what is now known
about French
intelligence’s role...The role of France and Wilson in undermining
Bush’s case
for war looks particularly curious in light of disclosures about
Saddam
Hussein’s bribery of foreign political and business figures during
the course of
the Oil-for-Food program from 1996 to 2003. Saddam’s web of graft
spun in many
directions: among others, to UN officials,Russian and Chinese oil
companies,
British critics of Tony Blair’s Iraq policies, and US critics of
President
Bush’s Iraq policies, as well as France. Near the center of the web
was the
Banque Nationale de Paris, where Iraq’s Oil-for-Food revenues were
initially
kept until 2001, when they were redistributed among several
undisclosed banks
approved by Iraq. Meanwhile French oil company TotalFinaElf received
Oil-for-Food vouchers and held a contract to develop oil fields in
southern
Iraq.2

Already in December 2001, Russia had announced it would not support a US attack on Iraq.3 Then shortly after President Bush’s January 29, 2002 State of the Union Address named Iraq as a member of a terrorist-sponsoring “Axis of Evil”, France announced on February 22, 2002 that Europe would not support a US attack on Iraq.4 French intelligence soon began a campaign to discredit the US case for war against Iraq. In 1999, French intelligence had begun investigating the security of uranium supplies in Niger, where uranium production was controlled by a consortium led by the French mining company COGEMA, a division of the French state-owned nuclear energy firm AREVA.
Wilson, a lifetime Francophile, had spent the bulk of his diplomatic career in former French African colonies like Niger.7 His second wife from 1986 to 1998, Jacqueline, had served the French embassy in Burundi as a “cultural counselor” (a function often used as a cover by French intelligence).8 From Wilson’s experience in Niger he was familiar with the Niger uranium industry. Additionally, he had worked in Iraq during the days leading up to the Gulf War. (Intriguingly, on the eve of Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait Wilson had dined at the home of an arms dealer who bought weapons for Iraq from France; a Vanity Fair profile on Wilson mentions his wife’s presence at this event, but Wilson’s book states “I was the only guest.”).9 Wilson ran his company out of the offices of an investment company called Rock Creek Corporation. Rock Creek was controlled by Mohammed Alamoudi, whom Wilson had met in 1997 at a reception organized for the World Bank by Westar Group. Alamoudi was a member of the Saudi-Ethiopian Alamoudi dynasty, which was heavily invested in the segments of the African economy Wilson was seeking to penetrate. The Alamoudi-affiliated company Delta Services—a Swiss subsidiary of the Saudi company Delta Oil—handled Iraqi oil export contracts in 2000 and 2001 and was revealed in 2003 as a recipient of Iraqi Oil-for-Food vouchers channeled through Abu Abbas, a Palestinian terrorist with Iraqi connections. Delta Services also cooperated with Afghanistan’s Taliban regime in a project to build an oil pipeline from Afghanistan to Pakistan, prior to this project’s suspension in 1998. In 1999, Alamoudi was accused by USA Today reporter Jack Kelley of heading a bank which was being investigated for financing Al Qaeda. USA Today printed retractions of several details in Kelley’s article in 2004, after another member of the Alamoudi family—Abdurahman Alamoudi, a prominent American Muslim lobbyist—was indicted on terror-related charges involving a Libyan-backed conspiracy to assassinate Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Abdullah.
Abdurahman was ultimately convicted in October 2004 and sentenced to
23 years in prison.12 Under Mohammed Alamoudi’s direction, Rock
Creek was chaired by Elias Aburdene, an Arab-American international
banking advisor and lobbyist who had previously advised banks linked
to organized crime and intelligence community figures involved in
the S&L Scam. In 2003 and 2004 Aburdene donated to the Sandhills
Political Action Committee, which was affiliated with Senator Chuck
Hagel, 13 a leading Republican critic of the Bush administration’s
Iraq policy.14
While Wilson was pursuing his foreign investment ventures, he also served as a foreign policy advisor to the 2000 Presidential campaign of Al Gore. A company the Gore family had a long-term relationship with, Occidental Petroleum, shared business interests with Alamoudi-affiliated companies in Africa and the Middle East, and employed as Vice President for Middle East business Odeh Aburdene,24 who shared a complex network of relationships with Rock Creek’s Elias Aburdene and Joseph Wilson—notably, all three contributed to Arab-American Congressional Caucus leader Nick Rahall,25 who supported Muslim lobbying groups linked to terrorists and opposed military action in Iraq.26 Abdurahman Alamoudi also contributed to Rahall, and sat on the steering committee of Arab Americans for Clinton/Gore ‘96 along with his associate James Zogby, who later advised Gore’s 2000 Presidential campaign.27 Wilson had worked as an aide to Gore from 1985 to 1986 and had developed a friendly relationship with him.
Wilson says Gore was the first person outside the State Department
to contact him expressing support when he was caught in Iraq in the
middle of the diplomatic crisis leading up to the Gulf War. In 1997
Gore recommended Wilson to President Clinton to help him plan a trip
to Africa. When Wilson began publicly opposing Bush’s Iraq policy in
2002, Gore was still considered a potential candidate in the 2004
election. Gore’s speeches were then being sponsored by the antiwar
group Moveon.org, which Wilson would support in September 2003 in an
attempt to petition Congress against appropriating funds for Iraq
operations.28 Moveon.org was financed by billionaire George Soros,29
who had business interests encompassing, among other things, the BTC
Pipeline that Mohammed Alamoudi’s Delta Oil was helping build.30
Later, after Gore announced in December 2002 that he would not be
running in the 2004 campaign,31 Moveon.org began supporting John
Kerry’s campaign.32 Wilson began advising Kerry’s campaign on
foreign policy matters around May 2003, several months prior to his
public entry into the Niger uranium controversy.33
Another question that might be raised is why Wilson and the CIA’s investigation did not explore at least the possibility of the French-led company COGEMA covertly allowing Niger to sell uranium to Iraq.
In Wilson’s book, while explaining the method that led him to
conclude the report of Niger selling uranium to Iraq was false,
Wilson explains that he ruled out the possibility of an off-the-
books transaction partly because “COGEMA, as the managing partner,
would have had to know and be complicit.”37 This seems to rule out a
priori the very thing Wilson was sent to investigate, and in the
process, to rule out the possibility of French complicity in arming
Saddam Hussein’s regime, which seems a hasty exoneration in light of
the fact that France had a long history of selling Iraq military
equipment and resisting UN sanctions against Iraq.38 It is now known
that in fact French companies were helping Iraq skirt UN
sanctions.39”

We thought you might wish to find out a bit more about C.A.I.R. from “Daniel Pipes, a former Reagan administration Middle East aide who now runs the Middle East Forum in Philadelphia and the wonderfully informative Web site DanielPipes.org: Mr. Pipes says:
“CAIR is a particularly worrisome organization because it has succeeded in portraying itself as a public affairs organization promoting ‘interest and understanding among the general public with regards to Islam and Muslims in North America.’ In fact, this organization is radical to the core; it seeks nothing less than the imposition of Islamist mores on the United States.” Mr. Pipes notes that CAIR’s record includes the following: “Apologizing for such killers as Hamas (a group associated with the murder of 7 Americans) and Usama bin Ladin (charged with the Tanzania and Kenya embassy bombings a year ago). . . . Helping promote terrorism: In the words of Steve Pomerantz, a former Chief of Counter-terrorism for the FBI, ‘CAIR, its leaders, and its activities, effectively give aid to international terrorist groups.’ . . . Intimidation of patriotic Muslims who disagree with CAIR’s chauvinist agenda: In one case (Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani), the FBI is looking into charges that he received death threats after renouncing the chauvinists. . . Defense of even the most archaic and barbaric of customs associated with Islam: When a prosecutor in Cleveland argued that the bail of two young men being held for an ‘honor killing’ of their female cousin should be increased, CAIR replied by accusing him of ‘ethnic and religious stereotyping’ and called for a formal investigation into the prosecutor’s actions.” In addition, as anti-terrorism expert Steven Emerson has noted in Congressional testimony, CAIR co-sponsored a May 24, 1998, all-day program in the Walt Whitman Auditorium of Brooklyn College in Brooklyn, New York. As Mr. Emerson testified, “In Arabic,Wagdi Ghuniem, a militant Islamic cleric from Egypt, mesmerized his audience, with his relentless tirade against the Jews, reminding them of the Jews’ ‘infidelity,’ ‘stealth’ and ‘deceit.’ Known for his folksy deliveries and exhortations to commit violence against the Jews, Ghuniem did not disappoint his crowd, several of whom had come just to hear him. The conflict with the Jews, he said, was not over land but one of religion. ‘The problem of Palestine is not a problem of belief. suppose the Jews said “Palestine-you [Muslims] can take it.” Would it then be ok? What would we tell them? No! The problem is belief, it is not a problem of land.’” Mr. Emerson continued: “Ghuniem then led his rapt audience, which numbered as many as 500, in a special song, the audience responsively repeating each refrain: ‘No to the Jews, Descendants of the Apes.’” Says Mr. Pipes: “In short, CAIR represents not the great civilization of Islam but a radical utopian movement originating in the Middle East that seeks to impose its ways on the United States. Americans should consider themselves warned: a new danger exists in their midst.”

National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ) http://www.nccj.org/nccj/nccj.nsf/articleall/4499?
opendocument
that organization states:
“The National Conference of Christians and Jews, changed its name in the 1990’s to better reflect its mission to build whole and inclusive communities. The historic name confused many, who believed that NCCJ was an interfaith organization. Therefore the new name is not a change in vision, but rather an affirmation of our abiding commitment to embrace the diversity of our nation. NCCJ is the only national human relations organization that focuses on a broad range of “isms,” the multiple manifestations of discrimination and oppression that are based on one’s religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, bias crimes to racial profiling - the challenges ahead are real. To confront and overcome them, NCCJ maintains an abiding commitment to work with decision-makers and leaders to support their work to build an inclusive society.” Now all of these things are of course worthy goals. Medical research is admirable, so is fighting the ills of tobacco, although Webb himself admits to being someone who has chewed tobacco for many years, and certainly fighting discrimination of any sort is a worthy goal. It is the interesting cross connections between the characters involved in the character assassination and overall lynching of Senator Allen that lead us to believe that there are just too many coincidences involved to be pure coincidence. However, to paraphrase Fox News once again, “We report, you decide!” What do you think of the so-called coincidences in this story? Are they more than mere coincidence?

Recall if you will Doctor Ken Shelton. Dr. Who? No not the British science fiction series time traveler in any of his many incarnations. Doctor Ken Shelton is the man we firmly believe is lying. Of course lies are nothing new to Saddam’s Saddemocrats. Recall if you will the 2004 fake Dan Rather memo falsely accusing President Bush on his National Guard record. The Big Lie is nothing new to these people. They are masters of The Big Lie. We think Shelton is falsely accusing Virginia Republican US Senator George Allen. We believe that what Shelton is saying is absolutely untrue. “During a deer hunt with Allen in the early 1970s” Shelton lied, “Allen asked whether black families lived in the area before stuffing a female deer’s head into the mail box of a black household. “George insisted on taking the severed head, and I was a little shocked by that,” Shelton lied. “This was just after the movie ‘The Godfather’ came out with the severed horse’s head in the bed,” Shelton lied to the AP. Doug Jones, who said he roomed with Shelton at Virginia, said in a statement that he never saw or heard anything from Allen that supports Shelton ‘s claims. “I never heard George Allen use any racially disparaging word nor did I ever witness or hear about him acting in a racially insensitive manner,” Jones said.”
Please pay particular attention to the following item in the article below in which Senator Warner is comparing the invitation to the 50th birthday party for Larry Sabato to Marlon Brando’s “offer you can’t refuse”.
Surely that line must have stuck with Larry Sabato.
Larry Sabato must have remembered that line.
“U.S. Senator John Warner, R-Va., compared the invitation to Marlon Brando’s “offer you can’t refuse.”
In case you are not a fan of The Godfather, which starred Marlon
Brando Senator Warner’s 2002 reference was to Marlon Brando’s
character Don Vito Corleone, The Godfather,” Don Vito’s line, “I’m
going to make him an offer he can’t refuse” was voted as the second
most memorable line in cinema history in a 2005 poll”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Godfather
The reference is to a character being pressured by The Godfather to use a film star favored by The Godfather waking up to find the severed head of a horse in his bed.

“Life
Birthday Bashing
Politicians, professors and students gather to celebrate Larry J.
Sabato’s 50th birthday and raise money for the Center for Politics…
Katie
Sullivan , Cavalier Daily Associate Editor
… Clearly, these people could only have gathered for one reason—to celebrate Politics Prof. Larry J. Sabato’s 50th birthday. Virginia politicians, political analysts, journalists and University students and alumni gathered Monday night in the Richmond Marriot to wish Sabato a happy birthday... a few prominent Virginia politicians humorously chose to light something else on fire—Sabato’s reputation.
The celebration, called the “Sabato Five-O,” took the form of a roast a la Comedy Central. The event also served as a fundraiser for The University of Virginia Center for Politics, of which Sabato serves as director.
The Center for Politics, located on Old Ivy Road …After the crowd
made its way
into the dining room, former Virginia
Gov. L. Douglas Wilder introduced himself as emcee of the night’s festivities, and proceeded to introduce a video, much like those shown at bachelor parties.
The video started out with photos of Sabato’s youth, then moved to
doctored photographs including Sabato as Elvis and an onlooker in
the fateful photograph of former President Clinton and Monica
Lewinsky. …The program then gave six of Virginia ‘s most powerful
politicians
the opportunity to poke fun at a man who, as he himself claimed, has
predicted defeat for every one of them…. Virginia Attorney General
Jerry Kilgore
spoke about Sabato’s ability
to state the obvious and make it sound profound, then joked about Sabato’s abundance of media exposure.
“He spends so much time in front of the camera lights,” Kilgore said, “that when he opens his fridge at night he speaks for three minutes.”… U.S. Senator George Allen, R-Va., cited a need to keep Sabato off their backs.
“There are places we’d rather be,” Allen said. “But we didn’t want to cross the good professor.”
U.S. Senator John Warner, R-Va., compared the invitation to Marlon Brando’s “offer you can’t refuse.”
…Allen mentioned budgets cuts facing the University as well, and, indicating Warner, said, “If he cuts your budget next year, Larry, put it in your file as something mean a Democrat did to you.” Allen, who attended the University as an undergraduate with Sabato, remembered Sabato’s beginnings as a student who wanted to fight the power of special interest groups.
“Then I see this gathering,” Allen said. “You make Hillary Clinton look like a pike.”
Other commentary centered on Sabato’s role as a professor...
Politics Prof. Larry J. Sabato covers his face in embarassment as U.S. Senator George Allen teases Sabato about his excessive on-camera time.

Here is an excerpt from the bio of one George Beam:
“George Beam Senior Vice President, Nuclear Services AREVA NP Inc. George Beam is currently Senior Vice President of Nuclear Services for AREVA NP Inc. Beam started his career as a Reactor Engineer at the Oconee Nuclear Station in 1977. After two years, he left to attend business school,after which he started work at Babcock & Wilcox in its Nuclear Services business in 1981. He initially started out on staff as a Strategic Planner, followed by several assignments in Business Development/Marketing for Steam Generator and Reactor Services. In 1992, Beam became the General Manager for the Plant Services business responsible for all field services performed by B&W Nuclear Technologies, excluding steam generator services. In 1998, he was promoted to Vice President, Steam Generator Services. Beam received a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Math and Computer Science from the University of Virginia , a Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering from N.C. State , and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Virginia . He is a registered professional engineer in the state of Virginia .” source:

PS0&L=US&SYNC=Y
You may have heard of George Beam, currently Senior Vice President of Nuclear Services for AREVA NP Inc., recently Writing about the imaginary deer hunt, which was really a hunt that never happened
DALE EISMAN, wrote in The Virginian-Pilot on September 28, 2006 about one “George Beam, now an executive at a nuclear engineering firm based in Lynchburg,(Virginia).”
Beam, wrote Eisman: “was not part of the hunting party.” Which is of course true because there was no hunt and no hunting party to begin with.
Eisman writes that Beam “ told the Associated Press that one of the hunters, his now-deceased roommate, Bill Lanahan, described the incident to him later over a beer. “Billy Lanahan told me they cut the head off a deer and stuffed it in a mailbox. He didn’t say whose idea it was, and he didn’t say, at least not in my presence, anything about a black family or a black neighborhood,”
In our opinion Beam lied to the AP.
Eisman’s article continued: “Allen insisted Monday that “The deer head story is... pure fabrication, absolutely false.” The senator and several of his former classmates also have denied allegations that he routinely used the “n” word to refer to blacks.
Beam did not return several calls Wednesday from The Virginian-Pilot...Dick Wadhams, Allen’s campaign manager, insisted Wednesday that there is no evidence to support Shelton ‘s claim and called Shelton and Beam “sad and pathetic” for bringing Lanahan, who died earlier this year, into the dispute. “The incident did not occur. This gentleman is just piling on to a false story,” he said of Beam, adding later that “I have no idea why he would do it.”
(The fabricated “hunt” allegedly)
the article being quoted continues:
“took place on land owned by Lanahan’s family in Louisa County ,
east of Charlottesville. Maj. Donald Lowe of the Louisa Sheriff’s Department said Wednesday that a search this week of department records failed to produce any evidence of a complaint concerning a deer’s head....Lowe said the sheriff’s department also has interviewed several deputies from the early 1970s as well as with black community leaders at the time. None recalled any complaint concerning a deer’s head.…

Diablo Canyon power plant...AREVA, through its subsidiary AREVA NP, has received a contract from Pacific Gas & Electric Company for two replacement reactor vessel heads at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant Units One and Two. “The replacement Reactor Vessel Closure Head (RVCH) project is particularly exciting because we are working with AREVA to fabricate RVCHs in the United States for the first time in many years.” “A replacement reactor vessel head with a state-of-the-art integrated head assembly is one of the best economic options for a commercial nuclear utility to choose in today’s cost and safety conscious environment to ensure continued operational safety as well as guarantee shorter outage durations and less cumulative personnel dose in the future. AREVA looks forward to working with PG&E to provide clean, safe, cost effective nuclear power for years to come” said George Beam, Senior Vice President of AREVA NP Inc.”
The axis of evil certainly figures into this story. Whether it is Iran, Iraq or North Korea.
“Reprocessing is the chemical separation of the spent fuel into its
three parts—plutonium, uranium, and highly radioactive reactor
waste. Several countries have the capability to reprocess North
Korea’s spent fuel, but only two—the United Kingdom and
France —have companies that offer commercial reprocessing services.\3 These
companies also have direct experience in reprocessing magnox fuel—the type of
fuel used in
North Korea ‘s 5-MW(e) reactor.\4 Two companies provide commercial reprocessing
services—British Nuclear Fuels plc. (BNFL) of the
United Kingdom and Cogema of France—and both have expressed interest in
reprocessing North Korea’s spent fuel.\5 If either of these companies is
selected to do the reprocessing, under normal circumstances, the repackaged
spent fuel would be picked up, transported to the company’s reprocessing
facility, and placed in interim storage until it is reprocessed. Neither company
would normally take title to the spent fuel or the
products of reprocessing so, unless other arrangements are made, the
separated materials would be stored for up to 5 years and,
eventually, returned to the country of origin. The specific terms of
the commercial arrangement would be defined in a contract between the
parties. According to BNFL, other matters—such as ownership and
liability for the fuel after its removal—would be defined in letters
between the governments. According to BNFL, reprocessing
North Korea ‘s spent fuel would result in approximately 25 kilograms of
plutonium, 50,000 kilograms of uranium, and 160 liters (one canister) of
high-level waste. If the spent fuel is reprocessed, the separated plutonium and
uranium would
be purified and converted into stable compounds that can be safely
stored until final disposal.\6 The separated uranium and plutonium
could be used as fuel for a nuclear power reactor. If not used as
fuel, the plutonium would be disposed of in an underground
radioactive waste repository, and the uranium would be stored for its
economic value and potential use. The radioactive waste would be
mixed with melted glass and poured into a steel canister to harden—a
process called vitrification—and eventually disposed of in an
underground repository.\7
BNFL representatives estimated that it would cost between $50 million
to $100 million to transport and reprocess
North Korea ‘s spent fuel,
treat the waste, and store the resulting products for up to 5
years.\8 In addition to the cost of reprocessing, costs would also be
incurred for the final disposal of the plutonium and the one canister
of radioactive waste in an underground repository. We could not
determine the costs of disposing of these materials because, among
other factors, the disposal location and the cost of preparing the
materials for disposal are not known.\9”

“Angry Hillary threw book at Secret Service agent
First lady hit her limo driver in back for allegedly ‘eavesdropping’
on chat
June 7, 2003 By Paul Sperry WorldNetDaily.com
WASHINGTON – In a fit of rage, former first lady Hillary Clinton threw a book at a Secret Service agent, hitting him in the back as he was driving her here in a limousine during the 1996 campaign, former Secret Service officers and agents tell WorldNetDaily.
She accused the plainclothes agent of “eavesdropping” on her conversation with another passenger in the back seat of the limo, the agents say. The missile she hurled was a painful message for him to mind his own business.
Hillary Rodham Clinton
“The book hit him in the back, and it wasn’t lobbed – she was angry,” said a retired uniformed Secret Service officer familiar with the incident.
“She was under the impression that he was eavesdropping on her
conversation,” he
added. “Here he’s the driver, but he was eavesdropping? I don’t know
how you get
around that.”
He said there was no center divider in her vehicle.
“It was in a limo,” he said. “There’s no separation in hers, not the
one she was
in.” The veteran officer, who helped coordinate security in advance
of President
Clinton’s trips, says the book was in the back of the limo. “It was
something
that she was carrying.”
Cadillac limousine used by first lady in 1995.
He said both Clintons viewed Secret Service personnel as “Republican spies,” since many of them worked in the previous Republican administrations. And they were “very skeptical of us.”
Another retired Secret Service veteran, a plainclothes agent assigned to Clinton’s security detail, corroborated the book-throwing account. “Yeah, it’s true,” he said, without elaborating.
Though retired from the service, both White House veterans have found jobs in the Homeland Security Department, and they asked that their names be withheld.
Attempts to reach the driver assigned to Hillary’s protective detail, also retired from the service and working in another federal agency, were unsuccessful.
A Washington Metro Police detective also recalled hearing of the incident at the time, adding that the former first lady “was pretty sh—ty to the Secret Service guys.” Phone calls to Clinton’s office were not returned. The New York senator is on a book tour.
The Secret Service officer who did presidential advance said she often spoke in “unacceptable language to officers and to agents.”
He said the lack of respect stemmed in large part from an overriding suspicion allegedly held by the Clintons that agents doubled as Republican plants, relaying dirt to the first couple’s political enemies. Cutting security posts “When they came into office, because the Republicans were in for so long, they thought everybody in the Secret Service was a Republican spy,” said the Secret Service veteran, who calls himself an Independent. Soon after they took over the White House, the Clintons had agents removed from sensitive areas and permanently eliminated their posts, he says.
“They requested specific posts be removed so that agents in the uniformed division were out of earshot of the conversations,” he said. “For instance, inside the mansion itself, I know of at least two [posts] that were relocated,” the former agent added. “One was relocated away from the residence; one was relocated away from the Oval Office.” He said Secret Service brass told agents to keep an “arm’s distance,” as much as they could, from the Clintons.
“Even on details, they wanted us where we weren’t visible,” he said. “We were all spies, all spies. I mean, it was a big joke,” he said. “We were giving each other secret names, like ‘Agent X, it’s time for you to be relieved from your post for right now,’ as if we were Soviet agents or something.” ...
Her alleged book-throwing tantrum does not fit the cool and controlled demeanor the freshman senator conveys in public.
But early in the Clinton administration, Newsweek reported that Hillary had thrown a lamp at the president in a fit of anger. She later denied the incident took place while suggesting, ironically, that the Secret Service spread the story.”
We of course were not there to witness any of the alleged lamp or book or Bible throwings by Hillary Rodham Clinton.
We turn our attention now to the person who,in a manner of speaking, wrote A book, if not THE book, on poltical “dirty tricks” none other than Larry Sabato.

The Secret History of Saddam’s War by Adel Darwish and Gregory
Alexander
ISBN 0-312-06530-2
Excerpted from Page 138
“ France had begun supplying Iraq with arms in 1967 and continued until early 1990, by which time it had overtaken China as Baghdad ‘s second-largest supplier after the Soviet Union . The inventory of items supplied during thirteen years is lengthy. In addition to Mystere and Mirage fighters, it includes Alouette, Gazelle, Puma and Super Frelon helicopters supplied by Aerospatiale; HOT and Milan anti-tank missiles and Exocet AM-39 and MM -40 anti-ship missiles from Euromissile; as well as AMX -10-P mechanized combat vehicles and AMX-30 main battle tanks supplied by GIAT. Other French companies who have supplied weapons and equipment to Baghdad include Panhard, Thompson-Brandt, Matra, Thomson CSF, Lucaire, COFRAS, Raclet, Matra Manurhin Defense and Lacroix.”
Excerpted from Page 139
“In 1980, shortly after declaring war on Iran , the Iraqis had turned to France in desperation after Baghdad itself was subjected to air raids. Saddam Hussein had been advised, byl former generals of the deposed Shah’s imperial army, that the Iranians were desperately short of trained pilots and that those who had previously served the Shah would, if permitted to fly, take off and not return to Iran . In fact, this was totally incorrect and it was a grave miscalculation on Saddam Hussein’s part to allow himself to be convinced by such ill-founded beliefs. Not only did the Iraqis fail to knock out the Iranian air force but the Iranian pilots, putting duty before Ideology, also carried the war into the Iraqi heartlands. Baghdad , which is only four minutes’ flying time from the border with Iran , was subjected to a series of well-planned air attacks which exposed the inadequacy of the Iraqi air defences. The Iraqis immediately placed orders with the French for considerable amounts of air defence systems and eighty Mirage fighters.”
“The French arms industry had always enjoyed a full measure of support from its government, the latter’s attitude apparently being that arms exports are in the interest of national security and that they enable France to afford to manufacture its own arsenal. “ “There is no doubt that France considered Iraq an important client deserving preferential treatment. There is evidence that the French intelligence services tolerated several ‘irregularities’ by the Iraqi Mukhabarat on their own soil in order to keep the path smooth for lucrative arms deals. In 1979 Barzan Takriti, Saddam Hussein’s half-brother and the head of the Mukhabarat , commissioned his deputy, Sabaawi Ibramhim, to oversee the creation of a new network in Europe . This consisted in part of companies owned by Iraqi residents in France which acted as fronts for both covert procurement tasks and intelligence operations. Sabaawi Ibrahim in turn sent Sadd Saleh Al-Jabouri, a Mukhabarat officer, to Paris as the chief of a new bureau housed at the Iraqi Airways office in the French capital. Part of his brief was to mastermind the hunting down and elimination of opponents of Saddam Hussein’s regime…” “Al-Jabouri was subsequently joined by two other Iraqis-Kadhem Al-Rabie and Nizar Hamdoun, the former an Iraqi businessman who subsequently used his connections to set up a ‘front’ company and was successful in striking a number of important arms deals in France .”
Excerpted from Page 140
“In 1967 France ‘s stock in the arab world had gone up following General de Gaulle’s decision to stop supplying arms to Israel …” Excerpted from Pages 141-142 “During the first half of the 1980s, French assistance to Iraq also extended to the loan of aircraft and personnel for use in the conflict against Iran . On 26th, May 1983 a secret agreement was signed by President Francious Mitterand, covering the supply on lease of five Super Etendard aircraft. In February of that year there had been reports in the French media that the government was planning to sell the aircraft, complete with Exocet missiles, to Iraq , but the Defence Minister at that time, Charles Hernu, denied the report. However at the beginning of June, Hernu signed an agreement with the manufacturers of the aircraft Dassault and Snecma. Subsequently, Iraqi pilots and technicians underwent fourteen weeks of intensive training at an airbase at Cuers.” “On the morning of 7 October 1983 five Super Etendards left the Brittany base of Landivisiau, staging at Corsica before eventually making a rendezvous with the aircraft carrier Clemenceau in the Mediterranean . During the following week, the aircraft were repainted in Iraqi colours whilst checks were carried out to ensure that the pilots removed all identifying insignia from their personal equipment and that they were not carrying any incriminating documentation. The aircraft were then flown to Iraq .” “A detachment of thirty French military personnel, including seven pilots and several technicians from Dassault, Snecma, Aerospatiale and Matra, were based in Iraq to provide training and logistical support. It was subsequently reported buy not confirmed that the pilots also participated in missions….
The Super Etendards and their Exocet missiles proved a decisive factor in the outcome of the (Iran-Iraq) war (in the Persian Gulf ). The five aircraft enabled Iraq to intensify what was known as the ‘tanker war’, which achieved wider political objectives for the Iraqis…It was a French-supplied Exocet which in 1987 crippled the American frigate USS Stark, causing the US navy’s rules of engagement to be changed an ultimately resulting in America’s direct involvement in the (Iran-Iraq War in the Persian Gulf ).”
“In May 1989, it was revealed that France was negotiating with Iraq for the supply of fifty Dassault Mirage 2000 and fifty Alpha Jet trainer ground attack aircraft. It was, however, France and not Iraq which had sought the deal. In efforts intensified during 1989, Defence Minister Jean-Pierre Chevenment’s visit to the four Gulf states also included Iraq . The Iraqis were impressed by the performance of the Mirage 2000 at the Dubai Air Show on 20th January 1989, when two Aircraft flew all the way from France , stopping once in Egypt and refueling in mid-air several times en route.”
“Dassault, one of the jewels in the French arms industry’s crown, had supplied the Iraqis with aircraft since 1976, when it sold them thirty-two Mirage F1EQ and foru F1BQ. A second order for twenty-eight F1Eq-4 and three F1BQ was placed in the same year and all these aircraft were delivered between 1983 and 1985.
A third order for twenty Mirage F1EQ-5, equipped to carry Exocet missiles, was placed in 1981 and these were delivered between 1983 and 1985. At the same time, a further eighteen F1EQ-6 and six F1BQ were ordered, delivery being planned to take place at intervals between 1987 and 1989.”
Excerpted from Page 143
“In December 1989, a high-level delegation headed by Jacques Mitterand, the president’s brothers, visited Baghdad to discuss closer cooperation on aerospace and other projects. It included in its ranks representatives of several French companies. During their stay, which included a visit to the Saad-16 missile development complex near Mosul , meetings took palce with the Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister, Sadoun Hammadi, Minster of Industry and Military Industrialisation General Hussein Kamal Al-Majid, Transport and Communications Minsiter Mohammad Hamza Al Zubiadi, and Oil Minister Issam Abdul Rahmim al-Chalabi.”
“In February 1990, Jean-Pierre Chevenement paid a further visit to Baghdad , where he met Saddam Hussein.”

“Islamist Nukes: The French Connection
Lowell Ponte, FrontPageMag.com
Tuesday, March 7, 2006
“No civilian nuclear program can explain the Iranian nuclear program. It is a clandestine Iranian military nuclear program,”
But what of that other nation that poses a serious risk of deliberately or inadvertently providing nuclear weapons to Islamo-fascist terrorists?
This other nation was willing to give atomic weapons potential to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
This other nation that may beget a world of atom-wielding Ayatollahs is France itself.
At least three paths could lead to the French arming Islamists with nuclear weapons.
The first path to this doomsday nightmare came to public attention in June 1981, when Israeli warplanes destroyed a nuclear reactor 18 miles south of Baghdad .
This Osirak reactor was being built by the French for Saddam Hussein, who had already used nerve gas on his own people and on Iranians. Hussein had already described himself as the reincarnation of the ancient Babylonian king and mass murderer Nebuchadnezzer II who destroyed Jerusalem around 586 BCE.
Had Israel not carried out this preemptive act of Assertive Disarmament weeks before the reactor became operational, Hussein could have fabricated nuclear weapons from this reactor’s radioactive output by the time he invaded neighboring Kuwait in August 1990. The threat that Hussein could then unleash radioactive devastation on nearby Iranian and Saudi Arabian oil facilities might have made him too dangerous to attack....
France is among the world’s leading sellers of nuclear reactors and reprocessors and sellers of radioactive reactor fuel. Days after President George W. Bush struck a nuclear power deal last week between the U.S. and India , for example, a high member of France ‘s National Assembly on Sunday quietly dropped the news to Reuters that France has agreed to help develop a “peaceful” nuclear power program for oil-rich Libya ‘s dictator and longtime terrorism backer Col. Mohammar Qaddafi.
Amid the controversies over whether Saddam Hussein attempted to procure radioactive material in Africa, few bothered to note that the country at the center of this discussion is a former French colony, Niger .
One of the biggest uranium mine owners and dealers in processed uranium in Niger is COGEMA, historically 82 percent owned by the French Atomic Energy Commission and now a subsidiary of the French-controlled French-German consortium Areva, a major worldwide nuclear reactor manufacturer and seller....
But, as nuclear scholar Henry Sokolski reported in 2004, “the French firm Areva,” like its international reactor-marketing competitors, has been “so eager to sell China nuclear-power plants that they and their governments are turning a blind eye to…a Chinese deal to sell Islamabad (Pakistan) a large reactor.”
Pakistan, the one Islamic nation that already has atomic weapons, has refused to sign the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). Pakistan ‘s chief atomic weapons scientist secretly provided nuclear materials and nuclear bomb-making information to other Muslim states, but after brief imprisonment for this crime he was recently set free by his government.
The French government not only approved selling its Osirak reactor and ample radioactive fuel to Saddam Hussein but also threatened to use its veto as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council to prevent Hussein’s overthrow.
It later came to light that several of French President Jacques Chirac’s closest political allies were being given millions of dollars worth of oil certificates by Hussein under the United Nations Oil-for-Food program that controlled Iraqi oil sales. Was there also a secret deal with Hussein involving COGEMA, Areva, the French Government and Niger ?
Can a French Government that was willing to put nuclear weapons ingredients into the hands of Saddam Hussein be trusted to keep such materials out of the hands of oil-rich Islamist fanatics? Is France again willing to sell doomsday weapon capability if the price is right?...(If the world were sane, of course, France would have forfeited its nuclear weapons and materials after the Osirak reactor it was building was destroyed. France has shown that it lacks both the morality and maturity to be trusted with these dangerous tools the U.S. and Britain gave it – along with a permanent seat on the Security Council – following the French complicity with Hitler during World War II.)... (During World War II the German-aligned Vichy government in France used its national railroad to transport 76,000 French Jews to their doom in Nazi death camps. Virulent anti-Semitism is one of the ideologies many French share with their former Nazi overlords and Islamofascists. French treachery has not been limited to its Arab citizens.)...

“The Wilson, Rockefeller, & McCarthy Ties
Filed under: General— Robert Farrow by Curt
Very interesting stuff going on in the Mary McCarthy files. It appears many of us missed a few important connections:
One aspect of her background so far comparatively unexamined is her West African uranium connection. She served in a key government position concerned with West African nations producing yellowcake uranium at the same time that Joseph Wilson was working in the area. The two may be considered members of the “yellowcake community” within the Clinton national security apparatus of the 1990s. There are more questions than answers for the moment, but yellowcake uranium is not only of strategic importance for WMD purposes, it is also a highly profitable commodity traded under UN supervision and restrictions, a set of circumstances known to produce extraordinary opportunities for both profit and corruption, as in Oil-for-Food. These comparatively still waters may run deep. Investigators equipped with both subpoena power and security clearance may be called for.
Mary McCarthy held positions in both African and Latin American analysis desks at Langley while Wilson was U.S. Ambassador to the Gabonese Republic from 1992 to 1995. Gabon was a producer of yellowcake uranium. Wilson ‘s powerful position in Gabon from 1992 to 1995 raises questions about his official trip to Niger to discredit President Bush’s claim that Iraq had sought quantities of uranium from Africa .
During his time in Gabon , Wilson must have been deeply knowledgeable about uranium production and trade there, and must have been familiar with officials of the French energy giant COGEMA, now consolidated into the French Areva Group, a firm closely involved with the French government which appoints members of its board. Joe Wilson has his own French connection.
So, who better to send to Africa to dig up dirt to refute intelligence findings of both the US and Great Britain concerning the Iraq-Africa yellowcake trade?
The article then goes into great detail about the loophole the UN instituted to allow: certain nuclear materials to be maintained and traded even by countries known to be covertly developing a nuclear capability or who supported terrorist groups….
Speaking of dealing in commodities, this whole affair brings us back to square one and Mary McCarthy. One of her previous employers was Beri, SA. Possibly by coincidence Beri provides a Mineral Extraction Risk Assessment service for up to 145 countries that are expected to show rapid growth in oil, gas, and mineral extraction capacity. If one had advance access to economic intelligence and had fostered close business ties over the years with uranium producers, huge financial gains would be possible…. Macranger, the former intelligence official, believes he knows what is coming next:
I can’t tire of telling you how important it is that Mary Loose Lips has been brought down. More than just a random ‘discovery’ - she is the key to the lock. Guys at the agency and the DOJ knew exactly where to target - and they hit it dead on. In the coming days you will see why Senator Rockefeller HAD to make such an emergency visit to Syria in 2002. For a little tip, read here.
The “here” he is referring to is a Italian article that points out Rockefeller’s business dealings with none other, Cogema…. Cogema runs the Niger uranium trade.
Getting a little fishy in here as AJ Strata notices:
the Italian story mentions Senator Jay Rockefeller and his unique efforts against the invasion of Iraq . Among them is mention of “the relationship of the Senate American “. The story links the UN Oil For Food program and the Uranium trade (which I showed was possible in previous posts).
Then the story talks about a connection: “the French of the Cogema
are in transactions with the magnates of the oil, comprised the
group Rockefeller American. “ Wow. COGEMA is the French company… that runs the Niger mines and monitors the uranium. Now I
understand what Mac Ranger meant by this comment:
In the coming days you will see why Senator Rockefeller HAD to make such an emergency visit to Syria in 2002.
I had not made the connection until now that Wilson and Rockefeller both raced to the region in 2002! Maybe the heads up Rockefeller was giving Bathaast Bashir (and therefore Baathist Hussein) was not just about the pending war. The timing is right. Wilson went to Niger in February 2002, Rockefeller went to Syria in January 2002. So far Mac has been dead on in his predictions. This one is going to be a doozy.
McCarthy now appears to be a little fish in a BIG pond whose scum layer is getting quite thick.

We think that Hillary Rodham Clinton may well be playing a major role in the campaign against Senator George Allen. Allen has been seen as THE likely Republican Presidential nominee in 2008, in other words, the person Hillary Rodham Clinton might well be running against for President in 2008. We hope that you will join us in revealing Hillary’s Hidden Hands in the George Allen Lynching.

“My opponent doesn’t stand with John Warner and me in keeping taxes low,” Republican US Senator from Virginia George Allen said in his opening statement in the recent October 2006 debate between Senator Allen and James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb.
“He stands with Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and the big-government Democrats who want to raise taxes.”
“Allen, Webb spar in final TV debate
By LARRY O’DELL, Associated Press Writers October 2006
RICHMOND, Va. (AP)Throughout the debate, Webb looked tense, his eyes riveted on his off-camera questioners or on Allen. His answers were detailed, sometimes to the point of wonkishness; his delivery sometimes halting. Allen, a veteran of numerous TV debates in his long political career, appeared relaxed, his eyes connecting comfortably with the camera, even as he offered up refrains he has used for years and made a practice of opening his response with attacks on Webb.
At least three times, Allen took pains to link Webb, a former Republican, with Democrats Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, the Democrats’ 2004 presidential nominee.”

More Than Sex: The Secrets of Bill and Hillary Clinton Revealed by Arkansas State Trooper NewsMax.com September 14, 1999 Washington - An Arkansas State Trooper who once guarded Bill Clinton has revealed startling new information about Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Trooper Larry Patterson, a recently retired 32-year veteran of the state police, had been the most senior member of the elite Governor’s Security Detail during the period Bill Clinton served as Governor. During that time, Patterson became privy to Bill and Hillary Clinton’s most closely guarded secrets. Patterson told his story exclusively to NewsMax.com and Internet Vortex. NewsMax.com has published More than Sex: The Secrets of Bill and Hillary Clinton Revealed — a two-hour audio cassette tape of Christopher Ruddy’s interview with Trooper Larry Patterson. In More than Sex Patterson makes bombshell revelations, some of which have never been disclosed before:
Organized Crime. The press has ignored reporting of this critical issue, but Patterson says Clinton had a close relationship with the head of the Dixie Mafia—Arkansas’ homegrown organized crime family that has grown in recent years through drug trafficking. Patterson said Clinton regularly received gifts from the reputed mob boss.
Ethnic Slurs about Jews. Both Hillary and Bill Clinton frequently
used slurs during heated arguments with each other, Patterson said. Among the
epithets they frequently hurled at each other were anti-Semitic slurs such as
‘mother f---in’ Jew’ or ‘Jew bastard’. Patterson said such references were heard
frequently
during the years he served the Clintons. Patterson said Clinton
loved telling ethnic jokes and frequently told jokes that were anti-Semitic. The
use of the “N” word. Patterson said Bill Clinton would use the word “nigger” —
the “N” word — when he was angry with African-American opponents. He recalls the
use of the word in describing a black, Arkansas activist who was critical
of Clinton. Patterson said Clinton also used the “N” word during the
1992 campaign Hitler and Mein Kampf. Bill Clinton, Patterson said, spoke
admiringly of Hitler and was fascinated by his book Mein Kampf.

“Jerusalem, November 10, 1999 Fooling the Jews
WOMEN IN GREEN, among whose members there are many voters from New York who have dual citizenship, will protest against the visit of Hillary Clinton. We will be outside the Tel Aviv Museum, Shaul HaMelech Boulevard and Weizman Street in Tel Aviv, at 19:15 to voice our opposition to this “new” and dubious friend of Israel.
Hillary Clinton is one smart lady. She wants to be President. Therefore, she will say anything to any particular Group that will lend itself to obtaining that set objective. She strategically chose the upcoming Senatorial race in New York as the first stepping stone towards reaching her presidential goal. However, New York has an important Jewish vote and that is a hurdle that she must leap over and “handle”. The difficulty for Hillary is that she has never been a friend of Israel. She has publicly come out for a Palestinian State, which as a sophisticated and smart lady she knows would threaten Israel’s very existence. She very well knows that hatred of Jews and Israel even now is an essential part of Arafat’s educational system; moreover, Arafat’s hate propaganda in his Media includes praise of the bomb makers who specialize in blowing up Israel’s buses. Yet she has never leveled one word of criticism against Arafat in that or any other regard, or for that matter against any Arab. Her Arab guest list at the White House has included American Arab leaders who are sympathetic to and support terrorist Hamas. She could find nothing about Israel to publicly admire throughout the many years that she has been in the White House. But to garner the Jewish vote in New York she has to appear to tone down her bias in favor of the Arabs, and make some Jewish “gestures”. She now lets out of the family closet the inconsequential news that her grandmother’s second husband was a Jew. And of course for these New York voters, she is making the proscribed visit to Israel. After all these years she suddenly awakened to recognize the status of Jerusalem; she recently told the Jews that Jerusalem is Israel’s eternal capital; however, she is not in favor of moving the U.S. Embassy to that capital. In that she is consistent with her husband who broke his previous campaign promise to move it.
Her track record insures that she too will not keep whatever promises she makes
to the Jews in order to get into the Senate. If elected, she would be the most
pro-Arab Senator New York has ever had. Unmasked, Hillary Clinton has proven

http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq37-1.htm
Former Navy Secretary Virginia US Senate Candidate James Webb has been a long time opponent of the liberation of Iraq. When he was Secretary of the Navy he urged that the US attack Saddam’s enemy Iran. While we support the liberation of both Iraq and Iran, it is clear that the US tilt towards Iraq and against Iran in the Iran-Iraq war helped to set Iran on its current anti-American path.
That tilt was a major mistake. Webb’s role in that tilt as Secretary of the Navy during part of the Iran-Iraq war is examined briefly here. Hopefully those who are naive enough to think of former Navy Secretary Webb as a peacemaker will have their eyes opened by this brief look at some of his history.
Excerpted from Pages 39-40 of SPIDER’S WEB: THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ by Alan Friedman ASIN:
0553096508
“In January 1987, as the” (Iran-Iraq)”war entered its seventh year and the combined death toll neared one million people, Iran began yet another major offensive. This time it pushed deep into Iraqi territory. Saddam Hussein needed help-but he also required reassurance from Washington about its intentions, since revelations in the Iran-Contra scandal were now detailing the U.S. covert military aid that had been going to his enemy, Iran. From Baghdad’s point of view, Washington was either ambivalent or duplicitous.
Thanks to the rival pro-Iraq and pro-Iran factions inside the government, the United States had indeed sent out very confusing signals. Nonetheless, the secret shipments to Iran paled when compared with the support given Saddam, and William Casey led the drive to placate Iraq. He had already met with Tariq Aziz at the United Nations to make sure Iraq was happy with the flow of intelligence it was receiving, and he encouraged Aziz to go ahead with more attacks on Iranian economic targets.
Then netural ships in the Persian Gulf began coming under attack from both Iran and Iraq. Those of oil-rich Kuwait were of particular concern to the administration. Kuwaiti leaders wanted their oil tankers protected by either Moscow of Washington, and in March 1987 top U.S. officials including Caspar Weinberger, George Schultz aand Admiral William Crowe, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, decided to defend Kuwaiti vessels that were navigating the Gulf.
Two months later, on May 17th, pro-Iraqi officials such as Weinberger suffered an instant case of political whiplash when a U.S. frigate, the Stark, was attacked by an Iraqi warplane and thirty-seven Americans on board were killed….The Stark incident underscored the increasingly risky state of affairs in the Gulf, and it was followed by a formal announcement from President Reagan that the United States would reflag Kuwaiti oil tankers so that the U.S. Navy could escort them.”

“May 17 1987, had started out as a routine day in the Persian gulf, we were to soon be on patrol escorting the newly flagged Kuwaiti Oil tankers. Little Did I know that day would change my life forever .we were always thinking of The world and our loved ones back at home, to get this over with do our duty to our country .I had just helped Daniel Homicki, move into my old bunk, and I went on my last watch ,my commitment to the Navy was up.
What was supposed to be a good last memory for me went horribly wrong. The excitement of coming home was over shadowed by an Iraqi attack that killed 37 of my shipmates, and wounded many more, I narrowly escaped death myself by being on a SH2 Sea sprite helicopter.”

“USS STARK
On May 17, 1987, the Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate, USS Stark (FFG 31) was hit by two Exocet anti-ship cruise missiles fired by an Iraqi F-1 Mirage fighter aircraft while operating in the central Persian Gulf. The explosion of the first missile caused extensive structural damage and flooding. Combustion of the burning propellant of both missiles immediately caused intense fires to build throughout the ship. There were 37 deaths and 5 injuries reported as a result of the attack.

“THE STARK INCIDENT
When the USS Stark (FFG-31) took a hit from a pair of Exocet missiles in the Persian Gulf in 1987, its port side fire mains ruptured and its precious supply of A-FFF Foam, which quickly extinguishes Class B oil fires, became unavailable.
Additionally, the ship’s damage control and fire fighting inventory did not include many of the important fire fighting and life saving equipment that ordinary fire fighters ashore use every day.
The Stark incident killed 37 sailors, injured 21 others and caused
$142 million in damage to the ship. The terrorist attack on the USS

WV Law Enforcement Bodies Endorse Kim Wolfe; Rahall’s ‘Weak’ Record on Homeland
Security Cited….
As his reputation for leadership and integrity grew, he had additional service opportunities and experience in legislative issues as the President of the West Virginia Sheriffs’ Association, then on the Ethics Committee of The National Sheriffs’ Association. He was later pegged by The United States Attorneys Office to be the area representative on The United States Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council, and he serves on The Advisory Committee of The National Task Force on Community Preparedness and Response.
Wolfe sites Rahall’s weak positions on Terrorism, Homeland Security and Immigration Reform among the reasons for law enforcement’s vote for Wolfe. Rahall has consistently voted against anti-terrorism efforts and any efforts to strengthen our borders, and was most recently one of only 8 congressmen to vote against House Resolution 921 denouncing terrorism and supporting Israel’s right to defend itself, following his anti-Israel record.
Rahall voted against The Patriot Act, against the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, and has been mentioned in the national media as a controversial figure. According to The Charleston Daily Mail, Federal Election Commission reports, and various news reports, Rahall “received a campaign contribution from a known radical terrorist supporter, Abdurahman Alamoudi.” Alamoudi staged a protest at the White House in which he publicly pledged his allegiance to Hezbollah and Hamas.”

Mr. Rahall, representative democratic of Western Virginia, moreover “regretted” that the addressed invitation at the beginning of August by Mr. Hammadi with the Congress to send a mission of investigation on the supposed prohibited weapons of Iraq “did not arrive to all the members of the Congress” because it according to him “was diverted on other levels within our government”. “I consider it regrettable that you did not receive response to this invitation and I hope as a member of the Congress that my visit here today will contribute to the opening of a dialogue” between the United States and Iraq, it has says.

FOR QATAR…
(Pasted directly from The Los Angeles Times)
Sister lobbies Rahall
Congressman’s sibling works
as consultant for Qatar
Los Angeles Times
Thursday June 17, 2004
WASHINGTON—Like many sisters, Tanya Rahall talks to her brother often. But unlike most sisters, she gets paid handsomely to do it. Rahall makes $15,000 a month lobbying Congress for the tiny Arab country of Qatar. And the person she frequently lobbies is Rep. Nick J. Rahall II, D-W.Va., her older brother and one of Qatar’s biggest champions in Washington. Qatar paid her for helping him craft a resolution praising the country “for years of Democratic reform,” even though it remained a monarchy without organized political opposition. She recruited members of Congress for a pro-Qatar caucus that he leads and accompanied him and other members on a visit to Doha, Qatar.
The Rahalls are the latest example of a growing, unregulated practice in Washington: paying relatives of helpful members of Congress as lobbyists and consultants.
There are no rules specifically barring members of Congress from acting on behalf of relatives’ clients. Indeed, limits on speaking fees and campaign donations have made hiring family one of the few unregulated ways in which special interests can ingratiate themselves with lawmakers. Rep. Rahall’s official congressional biography does not mention his work on Arab issues. Instead it focuses on what he has done for West Virginia: protecting coal mining as the ranking Democrat on the Committee on Resources and bringing large amounts of federal highway money to the state as the second senior Democrat on the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. But Rahall, 55, is also the most senior of five Arab American representatives and is an advocate for Arab countries in a Congress dominated by pro-Israel members.
In 1993, he was the lone House member of Congress to vote against a resolution calling for an end to an Arab boycott of Israel. He spent years pressing the State Department to end a ban on travel to Lebanon, where his grandfathers were born. He got his wish in 1997.
In 2001, he was one of 11 members of Congress to vote against a resolution insisting the Palestinian Authority take steps to end a terrorist campaign—...He flew to Iraq in 2002 to meet with a top aide to Saddam Hussein ... and voted against going to war. And he traveled to Syria to meet with President Bashar Assad in 2003, and voted against increasing sanctions based on allegations that the country was a state sponsor of terrorism.
Rep. Rahall traveled to Qatar in 1997 and in 2000. According to his congressional disclosure reports, the first trip was paid for by a foundation associated with the National Association of Arab Americans and the second by the Islamic Institute, a group also known as the Islamic Free Market Institute Foundation.
In 2001, Rahall was invited by the Islamic Institute to be one of the opening speakers at its first Conference on Democracy and Free Trade, held in Qatar.

“Moran steps down from leadership post
Lawmaker under fire for saying Jews push war with Iraq
Friday, March 14, 2003
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Harshly criticized for saying pressure from the Jewish community was driving the push toward a possible war against Iraq, Rep. James Moran stepped down Friday as a House Democratic regional whip.
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California issued a statement indicating she left Moran, D-Virginia, with little choice but to give up his leadership post.
“I have taken this action because Congressman Moran’s irresponsible remarks were a serious mistake,” Pelosi said in a statement. “As I said earlier this week, his comments were not only inappropriate, they were offensive and have no place in the Democratic Party.” Moran has been under fire since March 3, when he said at an antiwar forum that Jewish leaders were pushing a war with Iraq. “If it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq, we would not be doing this,” he said at the forum in Reston, Virginia. “The leaders of the Jewish community are influential enough that they could change the direction of where this is going and I think they should.”
The comments drew condemnation from the White House, Jewish leaders, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle....
On Wednesday, a number of Jewish House Democrats urged Moran not to seek re-election in the wake of his comments. In Virginia, several local Democrats have already expressed interest in challenging Moran for re-election.
The leader of the Jewish Community Council of Washington said Moran should consider resigning. Moran, 57, has said he will not give up his seat....
The Anti-Defamation League was also among those that condemned Moran’s comments.
“This is one voice in the chorus spreading a new lie, the age-old anti-Semitic canard that when our country faces danger, Jews are responsible,” it said.
“As we move closer to an invasion with Iraq, the drumbeat of ‘blame the Jews’—meaning Jews in the administration, the ‘Jewish lobby’ and the Jewish community—is intensifying and multiplying. “Congressman Moran’s remarks are symptomatic of a more serious problem—that in times of crisis and anxiety, Jews continue to be a convenient and tempting option for scapegoating.”

“Allen: Webb camp anti-Semitic
BY JEFF E. SCHAPIRO
TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER
Thursday, September 21, 2006
U.S. Sen. George Allen, R-Va., is accusing challenger Jim Webb of anti-Semitism for spotlighting Allen’s newly acknowledged Jewish ancestry on Democratic blogs.”There is a common thread that is running through the Webb campaign,” Allen campaign manager Dick Wadhams said yesterday. “It has a clear anti-Semitic overtone to it.” Webb’s press secretary, Kristian Denny Todd, dismissed the claim as “slash-and-burn campaign tactics” and a bid to “make George Allen a sympathetic figure by rallying his base against the big, bad media.”
The Allen broadside followed the latest complication for his re-election effort: confirming he is part Jewish after angrily ducking a question on his heritage during a debate Monday with Webb. Allen said his maternal grandfather, an Italian jailed in Tunisia by the Nazis, was Jewish. Allen said he learned of his grandfather’s religion, in part, after recent discussions with his mother. Allen’s mother, Henrietta, “Etty” Allen, told The Washington Post yesterday that she concealed her upbringing as a Jew in North Africa from her children until late August when Allen asked her directly about his Jewish heritage. She said that she and the senator’s father, former Redskins coach George Allen, had wanted to protect their children from living with the fear that she had experienced during World War II.
Allen’s mother, who is 83, said she asked her son not to tell his siblings and his wife. “The fact this is such an issue justifies my actions, and my behavior,” she told the Post.
In addition to posts on Democratic blogs focusing on Allen’s lineage, Wadhams cited Webb’s use of a controversial handbill during the primary campaign as evidence of anti-Semitism.
“Anti-Semitic themes run through the Webb campaign,” Wadhams said. “I distinctly make that assertion and that charge.” During the Democratic primary, Webb was criticized for a flier featuring a cartoon likeness of his Jewish opponent, Harris Miller, with a large nose and cash spilling from his pockets.
Last night, the Allen campaign issued a statement in which two Jewish Republicans U.S. Rep. Eric I. Cantor of Virginia and U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota—attacked Webb.
“Appeals to bigotry fail in Virginia, because Virginians look to a person’s integrity and character,” said Cantor. “Jim Webb is failing this test for integrity.”
Coleman said, “Former Naval Secretary Webb’s campaign is sailing in dirty and dangerous waters when it plays the religious card. The voters of Virginia should sink this vessel and wash away any effort to question Senator Allen’s faith or heritage.”
Wadhams referred to posts on Democratic blog sites that address Allen’s Jewish ancestry, … On several blogs, some friendly to Webb, posts chided Allen for his fierce reply to the question by a Washington television station. Others poked fun at the senator or raised questions about his forthrightness. Some Republican blogs carried posts defending Allen and critical of those who questioned his lineage….

“Hardball: 27 Minutes For Allegations Against Allen, 0 For Those
Against Webb
Posted by Mark Finkelstein on September 28, 2006 - 18:01. ….
driving through a black neighborhood, flaunting rifles and yelling
racial epithets
why did Chris Matthews devote the first half of this
afternoon’s “Hardball” to the n-word story, and not one second to the driving-through-the-black-neighborhood story?
Matthews opened Hardball with an extended segment featuring Patricia Waring, who in 1978 was apparently the wife of the coach of the University of Virginia rugby club team. She claims that, attending one game, she overheard George Allen telling a story in which he repeatedly used the n-word. She says she confronted him about it, asking him not to use the word.
Waring acknowledged that she is a registered Democrat and party volunteer.
After the Waring interview, Matthews pored over the implications for Allen’s political prospects with guests Howard Fineman of Newsweek, Matthew Continetti of the Weekly Standard, MSNBC analyst Craig Crawford and Mike Allen of Time magazine.
At the same time, a Washington Post story that Rush Limbaugh discussed today [that only managed to make it into WaPo’s ‘B’ section, in contrast with the front-page treatment the Post accorded the Allen allegations] contains some shocking assertions. Dan Cragg describes himself as “a longtime friend of Webb’s who worked for him when he was assistant secretary of defense under President Ronald Reagan.” He told the Post that in addition to hearing Webb use the n-word in his presence, Webb told him that when he was a student at USC in Los Angeles :
“[Webb and friends] would hop into their cars, and would go down to Watts with these buddies of his,” Cragg said Webb told him. “They would take the rifles down there. They would call them [epithets], point the rifles at them, pull the triggers and then drive off laughing. One night, some guys caught them and beat . . . them. And that was the end of that.”
Let’s recapitulate:
• Story on Allen’s alleged use of n-word: first 27 minutes of this evening’s Hardball.
• Story on Webb’s alleged driving through black neighborhood brandishing rifle and hurling racial epithets: not one second.

“Former Reagan Navy Secretary and now Democratic Senate hopeful from Virginia James Webb is being accused of anti-Semitism for a flier produced against his opponent Harris Miller.
By James Joyner
Senate candidate James H. Webb, President Reagan’s former Navy secretary, was criticized by his Jewish opponent Friday over a campaign flier that depicted the opponent with a hooked nose and cash spilling from his pockets. The flier was intended for distribution among labor groups. It was titled “Miller the Job Killer,” referring to Webb’s opponent for the Democratic nomination in Tuesday’s primary, businessman Harris Miller.
The flier, drawn in comic-book cartoon style, depicts Miller with a grotesquely hooked nose and cash overflowing from his suit pockets as he orders an underling to find ways to export U.S. jobs overseas. The flier refers to Miller as the “anti-Christ of outsourcing.”
Miller called it “despicable.” “One of the things I hoped we would
keep out of this campaign, because it has nothing to do with the
campaign, is my religion and my background,” Miller said.” source:

MONEY FROM THE AMERICAN MUSLIM ALLIANCE
it is no wonder that the American Muslim Alliance chapter in Massachusetts held what it called a “successful fundraiser” for First Lady Hillary Clinton at the Park Plaza Hotel in Boston on June 13, 2000. AMA Massachusetts Chair Tahir Ali said afterwards, “We are attempting to send an important message to all AMA chapters: we must support all who have [Muslim] interests at heart, regardless of what part of the country they are running in.”
EMERSON’S TESTIMONY
According to Steve Emerson, a well-known investigative journalist specializing in militant Islamic organizations, the AMA’s leaders “have sanctioned terrorism, published anti-Semitic statements, and repeatedly hosted conferences that were forums for denunciations of Jews and exhortations to wage jihad.” Faced with pressure on the matter, Mrs. Clinton announced on Oct. 25th that she was returning the $50,000 in campaign contributions raised for her by the AMA. She failed to give a credible explanation as to why it took her more than four months from June 13th until October 25th until she saw it necessary to return the money.
Mr. Emerson, in a recent Wall Street Journal article, noted: “As first lady, Mrs. Clinton began in 1996 an outreach program to Muslim leaders in the U.S.
With America’s Muslim population at some six million and growing, an effort to include the community’s leaders in the mainstream of American politics is unquestionably a worthy undertaking. But curiously, nearly all of the leaders with whom Mrs. Clinton elected to meet came from Islamic fundamentalist organizations. A review of the statements, publications and conferences of the groups Mrs. Clinton embraced shows unambiguously that they have long advocated or justified violence. By meeting with these groups, the first lady lent them legitimacy as “mainstream” and “moderate”.”
But this should not be unexpected, considering Mrs. Clinton’s past radical affiliations. During the 1980’s, ultra-liberal lawyer Hillary Rodham-Clinton served on the board of the New World Foundation, which funneled money to the Palestine Liberation Organization, at a time when the PLO was officially recognized by the United States as a terrorist organization.
Similarly, in February 1996, Hillary hosted a reception at the White House for leaders of Hamas-supporting groups such as the American Muslim Council and the Council on American-Islamic Relations. And in January, 1998, Hillary hosted another White House reception honoring Muslim leaders and the Muslim Public Affairs Council who defended militant Islamic fundamentalism and also supported radical Islamic groups.
THE REAL HILLARY
This, then, is the real Hillary Rodham-Clinton. An ambitious woman willing to utter any banal cliche on behalf of “Israel’s security” to placate unaware New York Jewish voters, but one whose pre-Senate race record on Israel is appalling.
It’s a record of supporting the terrorist PLO, even before the 1993 signing of the first Oslo Agreement on the White House lawn, of ignoring blatant calumny heaped on Israel by Suha Arafat, of supporting the creation of a Palestinian PLO State, of hosting and legitimizing extremist Islamic groups in the United States. Most recently, it included taking campaign contributions from these very same evil, anti-Semitic organizations - until being caught with her hand in the extremist Islamic cookie jar. This is the very same Hillary Rodham-Clinton who now claims to be Israel’s friend.”

703.845.3689

ARLINGTON, VA – The Allen campaign responded today to the deceitful DSCC attack ad, funded through Hillary Clinton’s latest $1 million donation, which began airing around Virginia in an attempt to smear Senator George Allen’s proven record of leadership in the U.S. Senate.
This is not the first time Jim Webb’s allies have presented a blatantly false ad to Virginia’s voters. (Annenberg Political Fact Check, “False Claims About Body Armor,” University of Pennsylvania; September 20, 2006)”
ADL Applauds Senate for Global Anti-Semitism Monitoring Bill
New York, NY, May 10, 2004 – The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) applauded the Senate’s passage of legislation designed to require greater US reporting on anti-Semitism worldwide. The Global Anti-Semitism Review Act, authored by Senator George Voinovich (R-OH) and introduced by Sens. Voinovich, Joseph Biden (D-DE), George Allen (R-VA), and Gordon Smith (R-OR), requires the State Department to provide a country-by-country report on anti-Semitic acts and harassment and the governmental response. The report would also include information on governmental efforts to promote tolerance and anti-bias education.
“The Senate has taken an important step to strengthen US efforts to combat the rise of anti-Semitism around the globe,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director and author of Never Again? The Threat of the New Anti-Semitism (Harper San Francisco, 2003). “In order to fight anti-Semitism, we must have an accurate assessment of the scope and nature of the problem in varying regions. So many countries lack a formal mechanism to channel information about the problem or to register complaints. While this new report is in no way a substitute for data collection by individual states, until appropriate monitoring systems can be put in place, American leadership in spotlighting the problem will continue to play a vital role.
Mr. Foxman, who just returned from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Conference on Anti-Semitism in Berlin, where he was a Public Advisor to the U.S. Delegation added, “passing this bill indicates the United States’ continued commitment to spotlighting the problem of anti-Semitism around the world and is an example of the kind of proactive measures a government can take to fight global anti-Semitism.”
The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world’s leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.

although he has wrongfully been painted as a racist by the Saddemocrat controlled media US Senator George Allen, Republican of Virginia is no such thing. He is in fact, just the opposite.
As a US Senator George Allen sponsored legislation to award $1.25 billion in grants for computers and technology for historically black colleges and universities — the measure died in the US House of Representatives.
“I have worked very hard in the Senate to reach out to all Americans, regardless of their race, religion, ethnicity or gender,” Senator George Allen said.
Senator George Allen proposed that the Senate apologize for its failure to enact anti-lynching laws in the 1930’s and 40’s.
In fact Senator Allen is being politically lynched every day in the Saddemocrat controlled media. He is no racist.
We have what we believe is a credible theory about the so-called “macaca” incident. What we did not know at the time the so-called “macaca” story appeared was that Senator Allen’s mother is Jewish.
We found that out later. Jews of the generation of Senator Allen’s mother frequently speak one version of Yiddish or another.
What we believe Senator Allen was trying to say was
fakakta: Yiddish for crazy, all mixed up.

We believe that Senator Allen would have heard one version of that word or another frequently as a child from his Jewish mother or one or more of his other Jewish relatives,some of whom spoke several languages.

There are thousands of online examples of the word fakakta which is also sometimes spelled in a variety of other ways including fekakte or verkakte, among others. We cannot blame Senator Allen for mispronouncing fakakta as “macaca”. He certainly never meant to use any sort of racial slur or epithet.
“We recognize that Action Forum is an open forum intended to foster the free flow of ideas,” ADL head Abraham Foxman said in a letter dated Aug. 31st (2006) to MoveOn, which supported Lamont in the Democratic primary against Lieberman. “Nevertheless, since such profoundly offensive content is appearing on a board clearly linked to MoveOn.org, we believe you should assume some responsibility to respond to this hateful content,” Foxman wrote in the letter, which was forwarded by Lieberman’s campaign.
Foxman cited examples from the site’s Action Forum, including “media owning Jewish pigs,” “Zionazis,” a reference to the senator as “Jew Lieberman” and the question, “Why are the Jews so Jew-y?”
Foxman wrote, “Those who allow hate to rear its ugly head under their auspices bear a special responsibility to distance themselves from that hate, and to speak out against it, as loudly as possible.”

“HATEFUL ‘MOVE’ VS. JOE
SITE’S ANTI-JEWISH SLURS
By MAGGIE HABERMAN
September 5, 2006 -- A string of anti-Semitic rants about Sen. Joe Lieberman have popped up on the liberal MoveOn.org’s open forum Web site, drawing criticism from the Anti-Defamation League.
It’s the latest flap in the contentious race between Lieberman, who is running as an independent to keep his seat in Connecticut, and upstart Ned Lamont, the Democratic nominee.
“We recognize that Action Forum is an open forum intended to foster the free flow of ideas,” ADL head Abraham Foxman said in a letter dated Aug. 31 to MoveOn, which supported Lamont in the Democratic primary against Lieberman. “Nevertheless, since such profoundly offensive content is appearing on a board clearly linked to MoveOn.org, we believe you should assume some responsibility to respond to this hateful content,” Foxman wrote in the letter, which was forwarded by Lieberman’s campaign.
Foxman cited examples from the site’s Action Forum, including “media owning Jewish pigs,” “Zionazis,” a reference to the senator as “Jew Lieberman” and the question, “Why are the Jews so Jew-y?”
Foxman wrote, “Those who allow hate to rear its ugly head under their auspices bear a special responsibility to distance themselves from that hate, and to speak out against it, as loudly as possible.”
Lieberman is one of the country’s best-known Jewish politicians. Foxman and Eli Pariser, executive director of the MoveOn Political Action Committee, couldn’t be reached....
Lamont aides didn’t immediately return calls for comment.
maggie.haberman@nypost.com
Lamont’s independent opponent for the US Senate is incumbent US Senator Joe Lieberman, the man who was the nominee of the Democrats for Vice President of the United States in 2000. Lamont’s Republican opponent in the 2006 US Senate race is widely viewed as being unelectable, thus a vote for that person rather than a vote to re-elect Senator Lieberman is a wasted vote.

Transcript: Sen. Allen and Peggy Fox at Monday’s Senate Debate
Transcribed by Robert Barnes
Wednesday, September 20, 2006; 11:22 AM Fox: ….the Jewish
press
published a story on the internet that explored your possible Jewish
ancestry on
your mother’s side. You’ve been quoted as saying your mother’s not
Jewish, but
it had been reported her father, your grandfather Felix, whom you
were given
your middle name for, was Jewish. Could you please tell us whether
your
forbearers include Jews, and if so, at which point Jewish identity
might have
ended?
(Booing from the audience)
Allen: I’m glad you all have that, you have that reaction. You know what our first freedom in this country was? Freedom of religion, where people’s rights are not enhanced or diminished on account of their religious beliefs. Thomas Jefferson was the author of that. As we try to stand up a free and just society, that’s the first pillar of a free and just society. And to be getting into what religion my mother is, I don’t think it’s relevant, whatever one person believes, whatever their beliefs may be, is not relevant. So I’d like to ask you, why is that relevant? My religion, Jim’s religion, or the religion beliefs of anyone out there. (applause)
My mother’s French-Italian—
Fox: Honesty.
Allen:--with a little Spanish blood in her. And I was raised as she was, as far as I know, raised as a Christian. But if you really need to get into such matters—
Fox:--Honesty, that’s all.
Allen: Oh, that’s all? That’s just all? We need, we need to get this country together. And I respect your right to ask questions. But let’s ask questions about issues that really matter to people here, in Virginia, such as how we’re going to bring this country together, make us more secure, a land of opportunity. And I’ll tell you one other thing, preserve our foundational values, and one of those values is freedom of religion and not making aspersions about people because of their religious beliefs.”
For those who think that “IT CAN’T HAPPEN HERE”
It just did. Here is Webb being quoted about Syria, the nation from which and through which most of the terrorists who are murdering Americans and coalition forces and innocent Iraqis right now come from,in 2006:
“On the current situation in the Middle East, Webb said he believes
the U.S. must befriend Syria and try to use that country as an ally…”
And if under President Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vice President
James Webb,
a.k.a. Jim Webb, or President Webb should something happen to
Presdient Hillary
Rodham Clinton the U.S. befriends Syria and tries to use Syria as an
ally what
country or countries will
Syria be used as an ally against?

Against Israel? Syria is no friend of Israel. So if under President Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vice President James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb America becomes the friend of Syria and the Syria is the enemy of Israel does America become the enemy of Israel? Does America nuke Israel? Does America round up American Jews and open extermination camps? In America can a sitting US Senator be asked whether he has Jewish ancestry? Think it can’t happen here? It just did in Virginia!
IT CAN’T HAPPEN HERE by Sinclair Lewis
Sinclair Lewis, the first American to receive the Nobel Prize For Literature, wrote this satirical political novel in 1935, a time when the United States and Western Europe had been in a depression for six years. In this novel, Sinclair Lewis asks the question – what if some ambitious politician would use the 1936 presidential election to make himself dictator by promising quick, easy solutions to the depression - just as Hitler had done in Germany in 1933.
Item immediately below is excerpted from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Can't_Happen_Here
It Can’t Happen Here is a satirical political novel by Sinclair Lewis published
in 1935. It features newspaperman Doremus Jessup struggling against the fascist
regime of President Berzelius “Buzz” Windrip, who was modeled either on the
flamboyantly dictatorial Huey Long of Louisiana, or on Gerald B. Winrod, whose
views earned him the nickname “The Jayhawk Nazi”. It serves as a warning that
political movements akin to Nazism can come to power in countries such as the
United States
It Can’t Happen Here is thought to have inspired both Philip K. Dick’s SF novel

George Allen’s Jewish Heritage Confirmed
http://politics.wizbangblog.com/2006/09/20/george-allens-jewish-heritage-confirmed.php
In a statement on AllenHQ and in an interview with The Jewish Daily Forward, Senator George Allen addresses the ethnicity of his parents. Yesterday, I found it especially reprehensible that a reporter would impugn the attitudes of my mother, as Ms. Peggy Fox did in her first question at the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce Senate debate. My mother and father both taught me to abhor bigotry, and Ms. Fox’s suggestion to the contrary was deeply offensive.”
”The notion peddled by the Webb campaign that I am somehow embarrassed by my heritage is equally offensive, and also absurd.” ”I was raised as a Christian and my mother was raised as a Christian. And I embrace and take great pride in every aspect of my diverse heritage, including my Lumbroso family line’s Jewish heritage, which I learned about from a recent magazine article and my mother confirmed.”
”On several occasions through the years, I have mentioned publicly that my mother’s father was incarcerated by the Nazis. I have never known whether he was persecuted by the Nazis because of his nationality, his religious faith, his role as a community leader, or his part in the anti-Nazi resistance. What I do know is that my grandfather’s imprisonment by the Nazis had a profound impact on my mother. It was a subject she found painful to discuss and so we almost never discussed it.”
”Some may find it odd that I have not probed deeply into the details of my family history, but it’s a fact. We in the Allen household were simply taught that what matters is a person’s character, integrity, effort, and performance - not race, gender, ethnicity or religion. And so whenever we would ask my mother through the years about our family background on her side, the answer always was, ‘Who cares about that?’”
”My mother has lived a long and full life, and I hope and pray she will enjoy many more years. She deserves respect and she also deserves privacy, especially where painful memories are concerned. I sincerely hope that simple decency will be respected.”
In case you missed the NAZI STYLE ACHTUNG JUDEN! (ATTENTION JEWS!)
so called “question”, here it is:
”It has been reported,” said Fox, that “your grandfather Felix, whom you were given your middle name for, was Jewish. Could you please tell us whether your forebears include Jews and, if so, at which point Jewish identity might have ended?”

CLINTONS CONNECTED TO THE GEORGE ALLEN LYNCHING

The latest hot internet speculation is that BOTH Bill and Hillary
Clinton may well be connected to the lynching of Virginia Republican
US Senator George Allen. Whether this is mere internet speculation,
or whether
it goes farther than that and is actually true remains to be seen.

Here now the speculation, as Fox News would say: “We Report You
Decide!”

Remember the name John N. Walsh Jr.?
You do if you read Are Saddams Saddemocrats Behind The George Allen
Lynching.

John N. Walsh Jr. is also a relative of John N. Walsh, III.

Recall if you will Doctor Ken Shelton. Dr. Who?
No not the British science fiction series time traveler in any of
his many
incarnations.
Doctor Ken Shelton is the man accusing Virginia Republican US
Senator George
Allen of
things we firmly believe are absolutely untrue. “During a deer hunt
with Allen
in the early 1970s, Shelton said, Allen asked whether black families
lived in
the area before stuffing
a female deer’s head into the mail box of a black household.

”George insisted on taking the severed head, and I was a little
shocked by that,” Shelton said.

”This was just after the movie ‘The Godfather’ came out with the
severed horse’s head in the bed,” Shelton told the AP.

Doug Jones, who said he roomed with Shelton at Virginia , said in a
statement that he never saw or heard anything from Allen that
supports Shelton ‘s claims.

”I never heard George Allen use any racially disparaging word nor
did I ever witness or hear about him acting in a racially
insensitive manner,” Jones said.”
What the news stories are NOT
telling you is that Doctor Ken Shelton is the founder of something
called Tobacco FREE for Life Tobacco Free for Life - Teaching kids
of all ages
the truth about smoking. ... and is currently operating out of an
office on the
Pardee Hospital campus. ...www.tobaccofreeforlife.org/home.shtml
Tobacco FREE for Life
TFL started in 1996 by Dr. Ken Shelton of Hendersonville Radiological
Consultants and is currently operating out of an office on the Pardee

worth of grants toward Pardee’s new Cardio-Pulmonary Rehabilitation
and Diabetes
Education Center. The Center will be constructed in Pardee’s
Thompson Street
facility which currently houses Pardee’s Urgent Care and Rehab and
Sports
Therapy services.
The James H. Cummings Foundation has awarded a $50,000 grant toward
the creation of the center. Cummings Foundation was established in
1962 by the late Mr. Cummings to fund medical science, medical
research and medical education, as well as some other focus areas,
in Buffalo, Toronto and Hendersonville. The Cummings Foundation
previously funded Pardee’s Emergency Department expansion.
The Perry N. Rudnick Donor Advised Fund of the Community Foundation
of Henderson County has awarded a $25,000 grant toward the project.
The Community Foundation of Henderson County supports charitable
programs in the greater Henderson County area. It was founded in
1983 and administers over 400 funds with assets of over $67 million.
South Financial Group Foundation, formerly known as the Carolina
First Foundation, has awarded a $5,000 grant toward the creation of
the center. The South Financial Group Foundation was created in 1999
with a focus on improving education through enhancing the quality of
life for the community.
In addition to these three grants, more than $179,000 has been
raised from the Pardee Hospital Auxiliary and other generous
benefactors. Proceeds from the 11th Annual Tournament of Champions
will also go toward the Center, contributing to a total of nearly
$323,000 in funds raised for this project.

”The National Conference of Christians and Jews, changed its name in
the 1990’s to better reflect its mission to build whole and
inclusive communities. The historic name confused many, who
believed that NCCJ was an interfaith organization. Therefore the
new name is not a change in vision, but rather an affirmation of our
abiding commitment to embrace the diversity of our nation.
NCCJ is the only national human relations organization that focuses
on a broad range of “isms,” the multiple manifestations of
discrimination and oppression that are based on one’s religion,
race, gender, sexual orientation, bias crimes to racial profiling -
the challenges ahead are real. To confront and overcome them, NCCJ
maintains an abiding commitment to work with decision-makers and
leaders to support their work to build an inclusive society.”
Now all of these things are of course worthy goals. Medical research
is
admirable, so is fighting the ills of tobacco, although Webb himself
admits to
being someone who has chewed tobacco for many years, and certainly
fighting
discrimination of any sort is a worthy goal. It is the interesting
cross
connections between the characters involved in the character
assassination and
overall lynching of Senator Allen that lead us to believe that there
are just
too many coincidences involved to be pure coincidence. However, to
paraphrase
Fox News once again, “We report, you decide!” What do you think of
the so-called
coincidences in this story? Are they more than mere coincidence?

As far back as May of 2006 Larry Sabato was so concerned about who
would challenge Republican US Senator George Allen in the Virginia
Senate Race in 2006 that he was calling one of the Democratic
candidates for the nomination “The worst candidate I have ever
seen.” That candidate, Harris Miller, did not get nominated.
The candidate who was nominated was former Navy Secretary James
Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb.
Sabato in May of 2006 said of George Allen in 2008, “Sabato ranks
him as one of three GOP hopefuls who have an actual shot at winning
the nomination.”

Larry and Me
I had the good fortune to be able to speak with UVA Prof. Larry
Sabato yesterday after an event in D.C. I got the chance to ask him
about some of the hot topics in the Virginia blogosphere and he had
some interesting things to say.

”The worst candidate I have ever seen.” “A joke.” “Won’t even look
you in the eye when he is talking to you.”

Who might you ask is he describing?

None other than 2006 Democrat senate hopeful Harris Miller.

However, Sabato wouldn’t go so far as to say that Miller wouldn’t be
the nominee. While the good Professor didn’t shy away from making
predictions in any other race he was asked about, he didn’t even
make a guess on the Democrat senate primary next month. Why? Well,
he seems convinced that there is a large Democrat contingent who
will never vote for Jim Webb on the sole basis that he was a Reagan
appointee.

What he would say is that neither Miller nor Webb would defeat
George Allen in November. He said that Webb would make it more
interesting than Miller, but they would both ultimately lose.

Aside from Democrats not voting for Webb on the basis of his ties to
the Reagan Administration, Sabato claimed that there are organized
efforts by Republicans to vote in the Democrat primary for Miller on
the basis that he is such a horrible candidate and would lose worse
than Webb to Allen in November. (If there are indeed such efforts, I
have yet to hear of them.)

On George Allen in 2008, Sabato ranks him as one of three GOP
hopefuls who have an actual shot at winning the nomination, the
other two being John McCain and Mitt Romney. Sabato pointed out the
weaknesses of all three candidates—McCain being a maverick in a
party that hasn’t nominated a maverick since Wendell Wilke; Romney
being Governor of Massachusetts which automatically makes him
suspect to conservatives; and Allen being more Bush than Bush in a
time when W’s approval ratings are in the basement.

Finally, closer to home, I posed the question to Prof. Sabato about
whether PWC Chairman Sean Connaughton has a future at the statewide
level in Virginia . Sabato thought that without a doubt he does, but
said Connaughton might have to wait a cycle or two in order to give
himself a chance to remake his image after he was, as Sabato put
it, “unfairly characterized as a Tom Davis-moderate” during the 2005
Lt. Gov. primary.

So, there you have it—straight from Sabato’s mouth to my ears and
typed here by my fingers.

That Larry Sabato was concerned about who might be elected President
in 2008 is clear. Here’s Sabato being quoted about a Hillary blunder:
”A blunder for Clinton ?
By THOMAS M. DeFRANK
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON - Hillary Clinton’s painstakingly crafted campaign to
soften her limousine liberal pedigree for 2008 hit a speed bump in
Harlem yesterday.
Ever since being elected to the Senate, New York ‘s junior senator
has strived to persuade moderate and independent voters she’s not
just another Hollywood lefty.
But her likening of House Republican leaders to slave-era plantation
overseers at least momentarily complicates her move-to-the-middle
blueprint.
”The use of the word ‘plantation’ is terribly unwise,” said Larry
Sabato, director of the University of Virginia ‘s Center for
Politics. “It will just reinforce the view most Americans have of
Hillary Clinton as being very liberal.”
It could have been worse, Sabato added: “At least she didn’t mention
Hitler.”

Pundits Bruce Cain, Larry Sabato Donated to Dems

Another election day has passed and two of the most frequently
quoted pundits, Bruce Cain of the University of California at
Berkeley and Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia , are all
over the news, giving their supposedly unbiased opinions.

A quick search of Federal Election Commission records at
NewsMeat.com reveals that Cain gave Sen. John Kerry $300 last year
and Sabato donated $500 in 1999 to Utah Democrat James Matheson’s
winning run for a seat in the House.

Yet, good luck locating a single news story that quotes either man
and references the political donations they’ve made.

Sabato’s official site, the Crystal Ball, evaluates Rep. Matheson’s
race in 2006, and he doesn’t mention his contribution to Matheson. I
guess Sabato doesn’t believe in full disclosure and transparency.

These are their FEC listings:

Let’s start off with George Allen critic, to say the least, Larry
Sabato.

First let us travel back in time to the Wednesday, October 23rd,
2002 issue of a publication called THE CAVALIER DAILY
when “Politicians, professors and students gather to celebrate Larry
J. Sabato’s 50th birthday and raise money for the Center for
Politics” Surely Mr.Sabato’s 50th birthday party must have been an
unforgettable
occasion for him. You can see a photo or Mr. Sabato being teased by
Senator
Allen at Sabato’s 50th birthday bash at

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KnowTheEnemy/
in the KnowTheEnemy photo
album.”Politics Prof. Larry J. Sabato covers his face in
embarassment as U.S.
Senator George Allen teases Sabato about his excessive on-camera
time.”
http://www.cavalierdaily.com/CVArticle.asp?ID=13613&pid=918

Please pay particular attention to the following item in the article
below in which Senator Warner is comparing the invitation to the
50th birthday
party for Larry Sabato to Marlon Brando’s “offer you can’t refuse”.
Surely that
line must have stuck with Larry Sabato.
Larry Sabato must have remembered that line.
”U.S. Senator John Warner, R-Va., compared the invitation to
Marlon Brando’s “offer you can’t refuse.”

In case you are not a fan of The Godfather, which starred Marlon
Brando Senator Warner’s 2002 reference was to Marlon Brando’s

”Life
Birthday Bashing
Politicians, professors and students gather to celebrate Larry J.
Sabato’s 50th birthday and raise money for the Center for Politics…
Katie
Sullivan , Cavalier Daily Associate Editor
…Virginia Gov. Mark R. Warner slowly worked his way through the
crowd,….
Clearly, these people could only have gathered for one reason—to
celebrate Politics Prof. Larry J. Sabato’s 50th birthday.
Virginia politicians, political analysts, journalists and University
students and alumni gathered Monday night in the Richmond Marriot to
wish Sabato a happy birthday.
Rather than traditional cake and candles, however, a few prominent
Virginia politicians humorously chose to light something else on
fire—Sabato’s reputation.
Warner said he accepted the invitation to speak for the opportunity
to give Sabato some of his own medicine.
”Larry’s been roasting all of us for years,” Warner said. “Turnabout
is fair play.”
The celebration, called the “Sabato Five-O,” took the form of a
roast a la Comedy Central. The event also served as a fundraiser for
The University of Virginia Center for Politics, of which Sabato
serves as director.
The Center for Politics, located on Old Ivy Road …After the crowd
made its way
into the dining room, former Virginia
Gov. L. Douglas Wilder introduced himself as emcee of the night’s
festivities, and proceeded to introduce a video, much like those
shown at bachelor parties.
The video started out with photos of Sabato’s youth, then moved to
doctored photographs including Sabato as Elvis and an onlooker in
the fateful photograph of former President Clinton and Monica
Lewinsky. …The program then gave six of Virginia ‘s most powerful
politicians
the opportunity to poke fun at a man who, as he himself claimed, has
predicted defeat for every one of them…. Virginia Attorney General
Jerry Kilgore
spoke about Sabato’s ability
to state the obvious and make it sound profound, then joked about
Sabato’s abundance of media exposure.
”He spends so much time in front of the camera lights,” Kilgore
said, “that when he opens his fridge at night he speaks for three
minutes.”…
U.S. Senator George Allen, R-Va., cited a need to keep Sabato off
their backs.
”There are places we’d rather be,” Allen said. “But we didn’t want
to cross the good professor.”
U.S. Senator John Warner, R-Va., compared the invitation to Marlon
Brando’s “offer you can’t refuse.”
…Allen mentioned budgets cuts facing the University as well, and,
indicating Warner, said, “If he cuts your budget next year, Larry,
put it in your file as something mean a Democrat did to you.”
Allen, who attended the University as an undergraduate with Sabato,
remembered Sabato’s beginnings as a student who wanted to fight the
power of special interest groups.
”Then I see this gathering,” Allen said. “You make Hillary Clinton
look like a pike.”
Other commentary centered on Sabato’s role as a professor...

We hope that you will pay particular attention to the following item
Godfather
movie reference in the article above: “U.S. Senator John Warner, R-
Va., compared
the invitation to Marlon Brando’s “offer you can’t refuse.”

Consider if you will the Dr.Shelton situation:

”Dr. Shelton said the incident with the deer head occurred during
their college days when he, Mr. Allen, and another teammate who has
since died were hunting on a farm the third man’s family owned near
Bumpass, Va., 40 miles east of the university.
Dr. Shelton said Mr. Allen asked the other teammate where black
families lived in the area, then stuffed a deer’s head into the
mailbox of one of the homes.
”George insisted on taking the severed head, and I was a little
shocked by that,” he told the AP. “This was just after the
movie ‘The Godfather’ came out with the severed horse’s head in the

We have a million dollar question about Larry Sabato. From “AJR,
American Journalism Review April/May 2005 issue The Quote
Machines By Mark Francis Cohen
Mark Francis Cohen, whose work has appeared in the Washington Post
and the New York Times, is a contributing editor at Washingtonian
magazine.

Larry J. Sabato, who bills himself on the paid speaking circuit
as “probably the most quoted college professor in the land,”
recently donated $1 million to the University of Virginia .
That sum of money—estimated to be 12 to 13 times the scholar’s
annual salary—makes Sabato, 52, the most generous faculty member the
university has ever employed. Actually, it’s one of the biggest
gifts an active professor has handed to a school anywhere.
So where did Sabato get all this cash? “Thank goodness for compound
interest,” the mustachioed pundit told the Washington Post the day
his gift was announced. “It’s amazing what you can live on eating
Kraft Macaroni & Cheese for dinner.”
”Still, a prudent lifestyle and savvy investment decisions hardly
explain Sabato’s beneficence. The scholar has amassed mounds of
extra cash writing 23 books and moonlighting as a public speaker.
He’s a successful pundit whose words and face blanket the newspapers
and airwaves, appearances that boost his profile and his cachet on
the speaking circuit….it has become routine for individual editors,
say on a national desk, to forbid reporters from using certain
pundits as sources. Many editors interviewed for this article would
only admit such prohibitions anonymously. “I have told my reporters
not to use Larry Sabato anymore,” says the editor of a publication
that covers Congress.”
You decide: Where did Sabato get the million dollars? Why would “the
editor of a publication that covers Congress” have told
his “reporters not to use Larry Sabato anymore.” ?
Dr. Shelton said Mr. Allen used the N-word only around white
teammates.
Dr. Shelton said the incident with the deer head occurred during

”Virginia Senator Denies Using ‘N Word’
George Allen: Accusation By Ex-College Teammate ‘Absolutely False’
”I don’t remember ever using that word and it is absolutely false
that that was ever part of my vocabulary.”
RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 25, 2006

(AP) Sen. George Allen on Monday denounced as “ludicrously false”
claims from a former college football teammate that he frequently
used a racial slur to refer to black people.

Dr. Ken Shelton, now a radiologist in Hendersonville , N.C. , also
alleges that Allen, a former University of Virginia quarterback,
once stuffed the severed head of a deer into a black household’s
oversized mail box.

In an Associated Press interview, Allen vehemently denied the
allegations Shelton made in an article published in the online
magazine Salon.com and an AP interview Sunday night.

His campaign released statements from four other ex-teammates
defending Allen and rejecting Shelton ‘s claims.

”The story and his comments and assertions in there are completely
false,” Allen said during an interview with AP reporters and
editors. “I don’t remember ever using that word and it is absolutely
false that that was ever part of my vocabulary.”

Questions about racial insensitivity have dogged the Republican
throughout his re-election bid against Democrat Jim Webb.
Shelton , a tight end and wide receiver for the Cavaliers in the
early 1970s, said Allen used the N-word only around white teammates….

During a deer hunt with Allen in the early 1970s, Shelton said,
Allen asked whether black families lived in the area before stuffing
a female deer’s head into the mail box of a black household.

”George insisted on taking the severed head, and I was a little
shocked by that,” Shelton said.

”This was just after the movie ‘The Godfather’ came out with the
severed horse’s head in the bed,” Shelton told the AP.

Doug Jones, who said he roomed with Shelton at Virginia , said in a
statement that he never saw or heard anything from Allen that
supports Shelton ‘s claims.

”I never heard George Allen use any racially disparaging word nor
did I ever witness or hear about him acting in a racially
insensitive manner,” Jones said.”
Jim Webb, a.k.a. James Webb is Senator Allen’s opponent in the
Virginia Senate
race this year. Webb is an opponent of the liberation of Iraq. Webb
is one of
what we like to call Saddam’s Saddemocrats The following item on Jim
Webb,
a.k.a. James Webb. comes from his campaign website:
”In government, Jim served in the U.S. Congress as counsel to the
House
Committee on Veterans Affairs from l977 to l98l”

We wonder what sort of useful and lasting contact Jim Webb, a.k.a.

might have made while he “served in the U.S. Congress as counsel to
the House

We hope that you will remember the name of the James H. Cummings
Foundation of
Buffalo in the article above.

Here is a story about Senator Allen’s opponent Jim Webb, a.k.a.
James Webb, that you will NEVER see on the Saddemocrat controlled
media:
”Webb’s alleged use of a racial epithet
In late September, Webb was asked if he had ever used the “N-word.”
Webb replied that “I don’t think that there’s anyone who grew up
around the South that hasn’t had the word pass through their lips at
one time in their life.” Webb noted that that word and a lot of
other epithets were in “Fields of Fire,” a novel Webb wrote about
the Vietnam War.
Allen campaign officials referred reporters to Dan Cragg, a former
acquaintance of Webb’s. Craig said that Webb told him in 1983 that
Webb and members of his ROTC unit at the University of Southern
California would “hop into their cars, and would go down to Watts ,”
taking fake rifles, yell out epithets, “point the rifles at them,
pull the triggers and then drive off laughing.”

2C_2006#Webb.27s_alleged_use_of_a_racial_epithet

By contrast, although he has wrongfully been painted as a racist by the
Saddemocrat controlled media US Senator George Allen, Republican of Virginia is
no such thing. He is in fact, just the opposite.

As a US Senator George Allen sponsored legislation to award $1.25 billion in
grants for computers and technology for historically black colleges and
universities — the measure died in the US House of Representatives.

“I have worked very hard in the Senate to reach out to all Americans, regardless
of their race, religion, ethnicity or gender,” Senator George Allen said.

Senator George Allen proposed that the Senate apologize for its failure to enact
anti-lynching laws in the 1930’s and 40’s.

In fact Senator Allen is being politically lynched every day in the Saddemocrat
controlled media. He is no racist.

We have what we believe is a credible theory about the so-called
”macaca” incident. What we did not know at the time the so-called
”macaca” story appeared was that Senator Allen’s mother is Jewish.

We found that out later. Jews of the generation of Senator Allen’s mother
frequently speak one version of Yiddish or another.

Here is some of the coverage of the so-called “macaca” incident:

“This fellow here, over here with the yellow shirt, Macaca, or whatever his name
is, he’s with my opponent,” Mr. Allen said on Friday night at a rally in Breaks,
next to the Kentucky border. “He’s following us around everywhere. And it’s just
great…. The senator’s communications director, John Reid, said in an interview
Tuesday that Allen campaign workers had good-naturedly nicknamed Mr. Sidarth
“Mohawk” because he would not disclose his name and the sobriquet seemed
appropriate for Mr. Sidarth’s hairstyle. Perhaps, Mr. Reid suggested, “Mohawk”
morphed into “macaca,” with results that turned out to be regrettable.
After his initial use of the term, Mr. Allen went on to urge the crowd to “give
a welcome to Macaca here. Welcome to America and the real world of Virginia
.”Mr. Reid said those words were not an effort to stamp a “foreigner” label on
Mr. Sidarth, who was born in Fairfax County , Va. People who follow the campaign
of Mr. Allen, who was born in California , know that he often talks about “the
real America , real people in the real world,” meaning people outside the
Washington Beltway, Mr. Reid said. Mr. Allen expressed further regrets on
Tuesday, saying, “I apologize if my comments offended this young man.”

What we believe Senator Allen was trying to say was
fakakta: Yiddish for crazy, all mixed up.

We believe that Senator Allen would have heard one version of that word or
another frequently as a child from his Jewish mother or one or more of his other
Jewish relatives,some of whom spoke several languages.

years, as one individual, and *** Bank, the credit card side of it - absolutely
dreadful.”

There are thousands of online examples of the word fakakta
which is also sometimes spelled in a variety of other ways including
fekakte or verkakte, among others. We cannot blame Senator Allen for
mispronouncing fakakta as “macaca”. He certainly never meant to use any sort of
racial slur or epithet.

”In October of 1983
(according to a report in The Jerusalem Post), Syrian television
showed 16-year-old girls-trainees in the Syrian Ba’ath Party
militia-fondling live snakes as President Hafez Assad and other
Syrian leaders looked on approvingly. Martial music reached a
crescendo as the girls suddenly bit the snakes with their teeth, repeatedly tore
off flesh and spat it out as blood ran down their chins. As the leaders
applauded, the girls
then attached the snakes to sticks and grilled them over the fire,
eating them triumphantly. After this, militiamen “strangled puppies and drank
their blood.” Such demonstrations are clearly intended to send a message to the
regime’s domestic opponents.”

”The Wall Street Journal October 25, 1990 With a sudden flash of
teeth and claws, our new Syrian ally has pounced on what remains of
Lebanon. Syrian troops, who have been occupying most of Lebanon
since 1984, overran the headquarters of General Michel Aoun, the
military chief of Lebanon’s Maronite Christians, on Oct. 13. No
organized military resistance to Syria now exists in what was once
the Arab world’s best approximation of democracy. *** With
Washington’s smiles turning back toward Damascus, Syrian President
Hafez Assad grabbed his opportunity, and General Aoun has been
driven to seek refuge in the French Embassy in Beirut. At least 30,
and perhaps as many as 100, of General Aoun’s followers were
captured by Syrian soldiers, handcuffed, lined up and shot in the
back of the head. On Sunday in the town of Baabda, gunmen in
Lebanese army uniforms murdered another of the few remaining
Lebanese leaders to dare to oppose Syrian control-Danny Chamoun-and
his wife and two young sons. France has asked the United Nations to
investigate the atrocities that have followed the Syrian takeover.
The U.S has not joined that request. The State Department,
instantaneous and eager in its condemnation of Israel, has yet to
mumble a word of displeasure about Syria’s killings. As the Syrians
descend on Lebanon, so soon after their brother Baathists consumed
Kuwait, we hope the Bush Administration is able to sustain a clear-
eyed view of America’s new Middle Eastern ally, Hafez Assad.”

Can you imagine the nightmare of Hillary Rodham Clinton elected
President in 2008 and James Webb,a.k.a. Jim Webb, elected Vice President in
2008? What sort of views does Webb have of Bashir al Assad, the son of the
Syrian dictator Hafez Al Assad, and his Baathist regime?

Here is Webb being quoted about Syria, the nation from which and
through which most of the terrorists who are murdering Americans and coalition
forces and innocent Iraqis right now come from,in 2006:

”On the current situation in the Middle East, Webb said he believes
the U.S. must befriend Syria and try to use that country as an ally…”

And if under President Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vice President James Webb,
a.k.a. Jim Webb, or President Webb should something happen to Presdient Hillary
Rodham Clinton the U.S. befriends Syria and tries to use Syria as an ally what
country or countries will
Syria be used as an ally against?

Against Israel? Syria is no friend of Israel. So if under President Hillary
Rodham Clinton and Vice President James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb
America becomes the friend of Syria and the Syria is the enemy of
Israel does America become the enemy of Israel? Does America nuke
Israel? Does America round up American Jews and open extermination camps? In
America can a sitting US Senator be asked whether he has Jewish ancestry? Think
it can’t happen here? It just did in Virginia!

SYRIAN THREAT, ROCKET THREATS
Tensions with Syria continue, while Israel Air Force officer says
short-range rockets are the main threat.
Syria’s Information Minister Muhsin Bilal says the “Syrian nation will not wait
much longer for the return of the Golan Heights.” He told the Egyptian Al-Ahram
newspaper that though Syria has waited patiently for 16 years hoping the “peace
for land” formula would be implemented, “nothing has happened.” In the
meanwhile, an Israel Air Force officer said today that the main threat against
Israel today stems from short-range rockets from Gaza, Lebanon and possibly
Judea and Samaria. “If the IDF had had full intelligence on everything going on
in southern Lebanon near Israel, we could have prepared better for a better
solution, both from the air and on the ground, to the short-range Katyusha
missiles,” he said. The officer said that the maps used by the Air Force were
more up-to-date than those used by the ground forces.Two Kassam rockets were
fired by Palestinian terrorists in Gaza Monday morning. The rockets landed just
short of the northern Gaza border fence, causing no damage.”

And what of Hamas, whose headquarters are in Damascus,Syria?
”Report: Hamas weighing large-scale conflict with Israel
...Hamas smuggled hundreds of tons of weapons from Egypt into Gaza Strip Aaron
Klein, WND Hamas has succeeded in smuggling “hundreds of tons” of weapons from
Egypt into the Gaza Strip and is preparing for the possibility of launching a
large-scale conflict with Israel... Hamas has smuggled from the Egyptian Sinai
desert between several hundred and 1,300 tons of advanced rockets; anti-tank and
anti-aircraft missiles; rocket propelled grenades; raw explosives; rifles;
ammunition; and other heavy weaponry....Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip last
year. In a deal brokered in November by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the
Egypt-Gaza border, once controlled by the Jewish state, now is manned by
Egyptian and (so-calle) “palestinian” security officials and is observed by
European monitors. The monitors reportedly have fled their duty several times
the past few months. Israeli security officials have noted multiple breaches in
border security, including the transport of terrorists and weapons across the
border. They say several key sections of the border are penetrable and that
smuggling tunnels that snake under the border are “thriving.” ...since the
Jewish state withdrew from Gaza, the (so-called) “palestinians” successfully
have transferred hundreds of tons of weapons into the Strip. “If we don’t move
to counter this smuggling, it will continue and create a situation in Gaza
similar to the one in southern Lebanon,” (Yuval Diskin,
director of Israel’s Shin Bet Security Services, said)referring to Hizbullah’s
development of large rocket and weapons arsenals in south Lebanon for use
against Israel. Hizbullah ‘turning Gaza into south Lebanon’... “he is right. We
are turning Gaza into south Lebanon,” said Abu Ahmed, northern Gaza leader for
the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group. “We learned from Hizbullah’s victory
that Israel can be defeated if we know how to hit them and if we are well
prepared,” Abu Ahmed said. “We are importing rockets and the knowledge to launch
them and we are also making many plans for battle.” Abu Abdullah, a leader of
Hamas’ so-called “military wing” told WND his group is preparing for war against
Israel. “In the last 15 months, even though the fighters of Hamas kept the
cease-fire, we did not stop making important advancements and professional
training on the military level. In the future, after Hamas is obliged to stop
the cease-fire, the world shall see our new military capabilities,” said Abu
Abdullah, who is considered one of the most important operational members of
Hamas’ Izzedine al-Qassam Martyrs Brigades, Hamas’ declared “resistance”
department. Al Aqsa’s Abu Ahmed said his group is receiving help from Hizbullah
to import long-range rockets and train in guerrilla warfare tactics. “We have
warm relations with Hizbullah, which helps with some of the training programs,”
Abu Ahmed said. “We don’t have anything to be ashamed of - that we are dealing
with Hizbullah and that we are receiving training and information from them.” He
said Hizbullah maintains cells in the Sinai. “The Sinai is an excellent ground
for training, the exchange of information and weapons and for meetings on how to
turn every piece of land into usable territory for a confrontation with Israel,”
Abu Ahmed said. The terror leader said (so-called) “palestinian” groups are
developing war bunkers inside Gaza imilar to the underground Hizbullah lairs
Israel found during last month’s war in Lebanon. “Our preparations include the
building of special bunkers. Of course, we are taking into consideration that
Gaza is not the same topography as Lebanon,” Abu Ahmed said. During its
confrontation with Hizbullah, Israel destroyed scores of complex bunkers that
snaked along the Lebanese side of the Israel-Lebanon border. Military officials
said they were surprised by the scale of the Hizbullah bunkers, in which Israeli
troops reportedly found war rooms stocked with advanced eavesdropping and
surveillance equipment they noted were made by Iran. Abu Ahmed said the most
important “tool” in the so-called “palestinian resistance arsenal was rockets.
He said his group learned from Hizbullah that Israel can be defeated with
missiles. “We saw that with the capacity to bombard the Israeli population with
hundreds of rockets every day we can change the strategic balance with Israel,”
he said. Since Israel’s Gaza withdrawal, so-called “palestinian” terror groups
have been regularly firing rockets at nearby Jewish communities. The terrorists
generally have fired three versions of Qassam rockets, improvised steel
projectiles filled with explosives and fuel. Qassams can travel between one and
five miles depending on the sophistication of the particular rocket.
Israel has noted improvements in Qassams, including rockets carrying double
engines. Israeli security officials say a large number of Katyusha rockets have
been brought into Gaza. Katyushas can travel about 12 miles and can deliver
large payloads. Hizbullah fired more than 2,800 Katyusha rockets into Israel in
July and August, devastating many northern towns. In August, Islamic Jihad fired
a Katyusha rocket into the Israeli Negev. It landed in an empty area. In June
the group fired a Katyusha-like rocket that traveled about nine miles. “The
Katyusha we fired (in August) shows we can have every weapon we need,” said Abu
Ahmed. “It is only a matter of a small period before Gaza is ready for war.”

James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb, Senator Allen’s opponent in the
November 2006 Election appears to be a man who will say and perhaps do anything
to get elected. Here is Webb being quoted :
By Todd Jackson on Tuesday August 1st, 2006
”The country, too, should tailor an affirmative action plan that
would aid only blacks, Webb said, because that’s the only group of people to be
systematically held down decade after decade in the U.S.” “On the current
situation in the Middle East, Webb said he believes the U.S.must befriend Syria
and try to use that country as an ally…””Webb, sitting in an easy chair in
Democrat Warren Campbell’s living room,acknowledged that he’s got name
recognition issues—particularly in Western Virginia—a day after a Mason-Dixon
poll revealed that 33 percent of 625 survey
respondents statewide don’t know who he is. The same poll showed
that incumbent Republican Sen. George Allen’s name recognition is 97
percent.Moreover, 58 percent say Allen is doing a good or excellent job. Three
months from Election Day, Allen leads Webb by 16 percentage points, the poll
found.

The day before, on Monday, July 31, 2006
”Ben Tribbett of Not Larry Sabato reports that only 39 percent of
African-Americans support Jim Webb for the Senate. Sixteen percent
support Sen.George Allen and a whopping 45 percent are undecided
Are these the type of “sweet little truths” Webb would be
whispering to black voters?

”To understand me, you’ve got to look at things like my mother. My
mother grew up in East Arkansas. When her father died, they were the only white
family living in a black section of town. They had to follow the crops, picked
cotton, strawberries . . . there is not a black family in this country that had
it rougher than they did. I am still finding out how rough things were.”
(Washington Post, 12/8/1985).

”Affirmative action, which originally sought to repair the state-
induced damage to blacks from slavery and its aftermath, has within one
generation brought about a permeating state-sponsored racism that is as odious
as the Jim Crow laws it sought to countermand. A Soviet-style bureaucracy of
political commissars now
monitors every level of our society to ensure that racial and
gender “diversity” matches pre-ordained models, using the awesome powers of
government to make certain that white males are not “overrepresented” in
education, employment or
government contracts.” (Wall Street Journal, 5/22/00)

”It would be folly to assume that affirmative action has done
anything but exacerbate these disparities” (Wall Street Journal, 6/19/95)

”[The racial polices established by Clinton for the military are]
absolute stupidity,” said former Navy Secretary James Webb, who has
criticized Clinton administration efforts to make the military “reflect society
at large.”

”U.S. SENATE RACE
Webb’s Support of Affirmative Action at Issue
Writings Scrutinized During Campaign for Democratic Nomination

By Rosalind S. Helderman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, June 6, 2006; Page B08

RICHMOND—Democratic Senate candidate James Webb has a childhood
memory of relatives living hard lives in southwest Virginia
communities with no electricity.

That’s why when he started studying affirmative action programs as a
law student, he came to a question: Why was preferential treatment
given on the job to all kinds of ethnic groups that were considered
disadvantaged—Latinos, Asians, blacks, Native Americans—but
not to
working-class whites struggling to overcome poverty?”

Kind of reminds me of voting for the $87 billion before voting
against it, if
anyone can remember Kerry’s 2004 flip flops.

A historical note, this writer went to Mississippi in the 1960s to
join the
civil rights movement. As such I am extremely uncomfortable about
the use of the
so-called “n” word in some of the articles being quoted. I find the
word to be
offensive and atrocious.
I have included it sparingly where it exists in some of the articles
being
quoted for the sake of accurately relaying what some of the articles
being
quoted are saying. Nonetheless I am repelled by the word itself, and
by those
who would use it against other human beings. I do not believe that
Senator Allen
ever used it against anyone. I do believe that James Webb, a.k.a.
Jim Webb did
and may still do so. Moreover Webb is not the only one to have
allegedly used,
and possibly still be using, such an atrocious racial slur.

More Than Sex: The Secrets of Bill and Hillary Clinton Revealed by
Arkansas State Trooper NewsMax.com
September 14, 1999 Washington - An Arkansas State Trooper who once guarded Bill
Clinton has revealed startling new information about Bill and Hillary Rodham
Clinton. Trooper Larry Patterson, a recently retired 32-year veteran of the
state police,
had been the most senior member of the elite Governor’s Security
Detail during the period Bill Clinton served as Governor. During that time,
Patterson became privy to Bill and Hillary Clinton’s most closely guarded
secrets. Patterson told his story exclusively to NewsMax.com and Internet
Vortex. NewsMax.com has
published More than Sex: The Secrets of Bill and Hillary Clinton
Revealed — a two-hour audio cassette tape of Christopher Ruddy’s interview with
Trooper Larry Patterson. In More than Sex Patterson makes bombshell revelations,
some of which
have never been disclosed before: Organized Crime. The press has ignored
reporting of this critical issue, but
Patterson says Clinton had a close relationship with the head of the
Dixie Mafia—Arkansas’ homegrown organized crime family that has grown in recent
years through drug trafficking. Patterson said Clinton regularly received gifts
from
the reputed mob boss. Ethnic Slurs about Jews. Both Hillary and Bill Clinton
frequently used slurs during heated arguments with each other, Patterson said.
Among the epithets they
frequently hurled at each other were anti-Semitic slurs such
as ‘mother f---in’ Jew’ or ‘Jew bastard’. Patterson said such references were
heard frequently during the years he served the Clintons. Patterson said Clinton
loved telling
ethnic jokes and frequently told jokes that were anti-Semitic.
The use of the “N” word. Patterson said Bill Clinton would use the
word “nigger” — the “N” word — when he was angry with African-American
opponents. He recalls the use of the word in describing a black, Arkansas
activist who was critical
of Clinton. Patterson said Clinton also used the “N” word during the
1992 campaign Hitler and Mein Kampf. Bill Clinton, Patterson said, spoke
admiringly of Hitler and was fascinated by his book Mein Kampf.

In 2004 John Forbes Kerry launched what was seen by many as a pre-emptive strike
against the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign by discussing the sexual
orientation of Vice President Cheney’s daughter. Some years earlier, published
reports in a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania newspaper had alleged that Theresa Heinz,
who later became Theresa Heinz Kerry, was a lesbian. In light of the
vulnerability to charges of racism in the story immediately above one wonders
whether history was in a sense repeating itself when
the baseless charges of racism against US Senator George Allen of Virginia were
aired by the Saddemocrat controlled media. Kerry’s 2004 campaign was taken over
by Clintonistas in the fall of 2004.

’Clintonistas’ Rally Behind Kerry’s Presidential Bid
AFP: 9/22/2004 WEST PALM BEACH, United States (AFP) - Democratic Senator John
Kerry‘s White House bid has become more combative, more open to reporters and
delivered a more focused message recently which
observers have attributed to the influence of former Bill Clinton
administration staffers. Under advice from the ‘Clintonistas‘, according to US
media reports, the veteran Massachusetts senator‘s campaign has clicked into a
higher gear just 41 days before Amercians go to the polls on November 2. The
Democratic presidential hopeful interrupted his campaigning across Florida on
Tuesday to hold a press conference, his first in more than seven weeks, at which
he lambasted President George W. Bush‘s credibility over Iraq.
Kerry last spoke took questions from the press on August 9, despite
the growing number of reporters who are following the Democrat
around the country. Kerry criticized Bush who has also kept his distance from
the press. ...Under the guidance of former Clinton era White House spokesman Joe
Lockhart, and other former high-powered ‘Clintonistas‘ including James Carville,
Paul Begala,... the Democratic candidate has become more combative and less
nuanced.

Kerry has notably increased his attacks on Bush, concentrating his
fire on Bush‘s handling of Iraq in clear-cut language.

Citing the “chaos” and “colossal errors” in Bush‘s decision to go to
war against the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in March 2003,
Kerry laid into Bush in a speech on Iraq this week at New York
University.

According to Michael McCurry, another former Clinton spokesman who
has joined the Kerry campaign, the speech was “exactly what you‘d
expect, many people have said this was a speech that you needed to
give.”

The Democratic candidate, who has pulled back of late in some polls,
has said he always performs better as he approaches the finishing
tape in political campaigns.

”Tonight I‘m going to talk softly, but carry a big stick, the guys
have got me in a fighting mood,” Kerry told thousands of supporters
at an Orlando rally late Tuesday.

”There is a time for everything and it was time for him to take off
the gloves,” Kerry‘s wife Teresa told a New York audience at a fund-
raising dinner for her husband.

Kerry has not hidden the fact that Bill Clinton‘s seemingly
inexhaustable energy might be rubbing off: “He is probably the best
observer of American politics, the only Democrat who‘s won twice in
50 years or more, he is worth listening to,” Kerry told CBS talk-
show host David Letterman earlier this week.

Explaining the recent ramping up of his campaign, Kerry said “a
campaign grows, a presidential campaign is an enormous undertaking,
suddenly you‘re building a multimillion dollar corporation.

You grow and there are stages in it, we have fabulous people in
place, nobody was fired, we just hired more people and brought in
more talent,” he added.”

”The Clintonista “Coups.” At several critical junctures Kerry’s
campaign (and
the candidate himself), struggled to find sure footing. Following
the missteps
of August, Clinton veteran James Carville confronted Kerry campaign
manager Mary
Beth Cahill, telling her she had to step aside and let newly arrived
Joe
Lockhart run the campaign. So worked up, Carville began to cry,
imploring
Cahill: “You’ve got to let him do it.” Carville continued, “Nobody
can gain
power without someone losing power.” Carville threatened to go
on “Meet the
Press” the next day “and tell the truth about how bad it is” if
Cahill didn’t
give effective control to Lockhart.”

”Former Reagan Navy Secretary and now Democratic Senate hopeful from
Virginia James Webb is being accused of anti-Semitism for a flier
produced against his opponent Harris Miller.
By James Joyner
Senate candidate James H. Webb, President Reagan’s former Navy
secretary, was criticized by his Jewish opponent Friday over a
campaign flier that depicted the opponent with a hooked nose and
cash spilling from his pockets. The flier was intended for
distribution among labor groups. It was titled “Miller the Job
Killer,” referring to Webb’s opponent for the Democratic nomination
in Tuesday’s primary, businessman Harris Miller.
The flier, drawn in comic-book cartoon style, depicts Miller with a
grotesquely hooked nose and cash overflowing from his suit pockets
as he orders an underling to find ways to export U.S. jobs overseas.
The flier refers to Miller as the “anti-Christ of outsourcing.”
Miller called it “despicable.” “One of the things I hoped we would
keep out of this campaign, because it has nothing to do with the
campaign, is my religion and my background,” Miller said.” source:

MONEY FROM THE AMERICAN MUSLIM ALLIANCE
it is no wonder that the American Muslim Alliance chapter in
Massachusetts held
what it called a “successful fundraiser” for First Lady Hillary
Clinton at the
Park Plaza Hotel in Boston on June 13, 2000. AMA Massachusetts Chair
Tahir Ali
said afterwards, “We are attempting to send an important message to
all AMA
chapters: we must support all who have [Muslim] interests at heart,
regardless
of what part of the country they are running in.”

EMERSON’S TESTIMONY
According to Steve Emerson, a well-known investigative journalist
specializing
in militant Islamic organizations, the AMA’s leaders “have
sanctioned terrorism,
published anti-Semitic statements, and repeatedly hosted conferences
that were
forums for denunciations of Jews and exhortations to wage jihad.”
Faced with
pressure on the matter, Mrs. Clinton announced on Oct. 25th that she
was
returning the $50,000 in campaign contributions raised for her by
the AMA. She
failed to give a credible explanation as to why it took her more
than four
months from June 13th until October 25th until she saw it
necessary to
return the money.

Mr. Emerson, in a recent Wall Street Journal article, noted: “As
first lady,
Mrs. Clinton began in 1996 an outreach program to Muslim leaders in
the U.S.
With America’s Muslim population at some six million and growing, an
effort to
include the community’s leaders in the mainstream of American
politics is
unquestionably a worthy undertaking. But curiously, nearly all of
the leaders
with whom Mrs. Clinton elected to meet came from Islamic
fundamentalist
organizations. A review of the statements, publications and
conferences of the
groups Mrs. Clinton embraced shows unambiguously that they have long
advocated
or justified violence. By meeting with these groups, the first lady
lent them
legitimacy as “mainstream” and “moderate”.”

But this should not be unexpected, considering Mrs. Clinton’s past
radical
affiliations. During the 1980’s, ultra-liberal lawyer Hillary Rodham-
Clinton
served on the board of the New World Foundation, which funneled
money to the
Palestine Liberation Organization, at a time when the PLO was
officially
recognized by the United States as a terrorist organization.

Similarly, in February 1996, Hillary hosted a reception at the White
House for
leaders of Hamas-supporting groups such as the American Muslim
Council and the
Council on American-Islamic Relations. And in January, 1998, Hillary
hosted
another White House reception honoring Muslim leaders and the Muslim
Public
Affairs Council who defended militant Islamic fundamentalism and
also supported
radical Islamic groups.

THE REAL HILLARY
This, then, is the real Hillary Rodham-Clinton. An ambitious woman
willing to
utter any banal cliche on behalf of “Israel’s security” to placate
unaware New
York Jewish voters, but one whose pre-Senate race record on Israel
is appalling.
It’s a record of supporting the terrorist PLO, even before the 1993
signing of
the first Oslo Agreement on the White House lawn, of ignoring
blatant calumny
heaped on Israel by Suha Arafat, of supporting the creation of a
Palestinian PLO
State, of hosting and legitimizing extremist Islamic groups in the
United
States. Most recently, it included taking campaign contributions
from these very
same evil, anti-Semitic organizations - until being caught with her
hand in the
extremist Islamic cookie jar. This is the very same Hillary Rodham-
Clinton who
now claims to be Israel’s friend.”

”Allen: Webb camp anti-Semitic
BY JEFF E. SCHAPIRO
TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER
Thursday, September 21, 2006
U.S. Sen. George Allen, R-Va., is accusing challenger Jim Webb of
anti-Semitism for spotlighting Allen’s newly acknowledged Jewish
ancestry on Democratic blogs.”There is a common thread that is
running through the Webb campaign,” Allen campaign manager Dick
Wadhams said yesterday. “It has a clear anti-Semitic overtone to it.”
Webb’s press secretary, Kristian Denny Todd, dismissed the claim
as “slash-and-burn campaign tactics” and a bid to “make George Allen
a sympathetic figure by rallying his base against the big, bad
media.”
The Allen broadside followed the latest complication for his re-
election effort: confirming he is part Jewish after angrily ducking
a question on his heritage during a debate Monday with Webb.
Allen said his maternal grandfather, an Italian jailed in Tunisia
by the Nazis, was Jewish. Allen said he learned of his grandfather’s
religion, in part, after recent discussions with his mother.
Allen’s mother, Henrietta, “Etty” Allen, told The Washington Post
yesterday that she concealed her upbringing as a Jew in North Africa
from her children until late August when Allen asked her directly
about his Jewish heritage. She said that she and the senator’s
father, former Redskins coach George Allen, had wanted to protect
their children from living with the fear that she had experienced
during World War II.
Allen’s mother, who is 83, said she asked her son not to tell his
siblings and his wife. “The fact this is such an issue justifies my
actions, and my behavior,” she told the Post.
In addition to posts on Democratic blogs focusing on Allen’s
lineage, Wadhams cited Webb’s use of a controversial handbill during
the primary campaign as evidence of anti-Semitism.
”Anti-Semitic themes run through the Webb campaign,” Wadhams
said. “I distinctly make that assertion and that charge.”
During the Democratic primary, Webb was criticized for a flier
featuring a cartoon likeness of his Jewish opponent, Harris Miller,
with a large nose and cash spilling from his pockets.
Last night, the Allen campaign issued a statement in which two
Jewish Republicans U.S. Rep. Eric I. Cantor of Virginia and U.S.
Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota—attacked Webb.
”Appeals to bigotry fail in Virginia, because Virginians look to a
person’s integrity and character,” said Cantor. “Jim Webb is failing
this test for integrity.”
Coleman said, “Former Naval Secretary Webb’s campaign is sailing in
dirty and dangerous waters when it plays the religious card. The
voters of Virginia should sink this vessel and wash away any effort
to question Senator Allen’s faith or heritage.”
Wadhams referred to posts on Democratic blog sites that address
Allen’s Jewish ancestry, …
On several blogs, some friendly to Webb, posts chided Allen for his
fierce reply to the question by a Washington television station.
Others poked fun at the senator or raised questions about his
forthrightness. Some Republican blogs carried posts defending Allen
and critical of those who questioned his lineage….

”Hardball: 27 Minutes For Allegations Against Allen, 0 For Those
Against Webb
Posted by Mark Finkelstein on September 28, 2006 - 18:01. ….
driving through a black neighborhood, flaunting rifles and yelling
racial epithets
why did Chris Matthews devote the first half of this
afternoon’s “Hardball” to the n-word story, and not one second to
the driving-through-the-black-neighborhood story?
Matthews opened Hardball with an extended segment featuring Patricia
Waring, who in 1978 was apparently the wife of the coach of the
University of Virginia rugby club team. She claims that, attending
one game, she overheard George Allen telling a story in which he
repeatedly used the n-word. She says she confronted him about it,
asking him not to use the word.
Waring acknowledged that she is a registered Democrat and party
volunteer.
After the Waring interview, Matthews pored over the implications for
Allen’s political prospects with guests Howard Fineman of Newsweek,
Matthew Continetti of the Weekly Standard, MSNBC analyst Craig
Crawford and Mike Allen of Time magazine.
At the same time, a Washington Post story that Rush Limbaugh
discussed today [that only managed to make it into WaPo’s ‘B’
section, in contrast with the front-page treatment the Post accorded
the Allen allegations] contains some shocking assertions.
Dan Cragg describes himself as “a longtime friend of Webb’s who
worked for him when he was assistant secretary of defense under
President Ronald Reagan.” He told the Post that in addition to
hearing Webb use the n-word in his presence, Webb told him that when
he was a student at USC in Los Angeles :
”[Webb and friends] would hop into their cars, and would go down to
Watts with these buddies of his,” Cragg said Webb told him. “They
would take the rifles down there. They would call them [epithets],
point the rifles at them, pull the triggers and then drive off
laughing. One night, some guys caught them and beat . . . them. And
that was the end of that.”
Let’s recapitulate:
· Story on Allen’s alleged use of n-word: first 27 minutes of
this evening’s Hardball.
· Story on Webb’s alleged driving through black neighborhood
brandishing rifle and hurling racial epithets: not one second.

Democrat Jim Webb’s first TV ad shows President Ronald Reagan
speaking at the Naval Academy.
AP: Nancy Reagan objects to campaign ad
Democratic Senate candidate Jim Webb has a television ad ready to
air featuring praise from his late boss Ronald Reagan — and Nancy
Reagan called on him Friday to cancel it.
Webb, who was Reagan’s Navy secretary before Webb switched to the
Democratic Party, uses the ultimate GOP icon to send a sentimental
message to conservatives and moderates courted by his opponent, Sen.
George Allen (news, bio, voting record). The ad is scheduled to
begin airing next week.
But a three-paragraph letter from the former first lady’s office
said the use of footage of Reagan, who died in 2004, is “neither
authorized nor appropriate.”
In a telephone interview, Edwin Meese, attorney general under
Reagan, called use of the footage “improper, unethical and very
possibly illegal. … For him to use video of Ronald Reagan to appear
in a campaign ad to favor him is fraud.”

”Anti-Tobacco Activist Launches Allen Ni---- Smear
Posted by Dan Riehl on September 25, 2006
Via Salon, Michael Scherer hits Republican Senator George Allen with
the “nigger” smear, even though the vast majority of fellow
teammates from Allen’s college football days do not support the
claim..... “I don’t believe he was insensitive,”
said Paul Ryczek, who played center in Allen’s year before joining
the Atlanta Falcons. “He had no prejudices, biases or anything else.”
In addition to supporting a Democrat through financial
contributions, which Salon acknowledges, evidently Shelton didn’t
tell Salon of his role in starting Tobacco Free For Life.
Why that might matter is because Allen opponents have criticized the
Senator for being friendly to the tobacco lobby. Senator Allen, (R-
VA), has accepted a whopping $33,000 from tobacco political action
committees in just the 2005-2006 election cycle. That’s more than any
other member of congress has taken from the tobacco companies in the
past year.
Tobacco Free for Life (TFL) is a grass roots volunteer coalition of
educators, health care professionals, survivors and victims of
tobacco-related illness, and concerned individuals. Our mission is
to prevent and reduce underage tobacco use through education,
awareness and community efforts on a “cost free” basis to the youth
and community of Henderson County.
TFL started in 1996 by Dr. Ken Shelton of Hendersonville
Radiological Consultants and is currently operating out of an office
on the Pardee Hospital campus. Pardee Hospital Foundation acts as
TFL’s fiscal agent and provides TFL with 501c3 nonprofit status.
Interesting that Shelton claims that an Allen Presidential candidacy
is what made him so suddenly concerned as to begin writing down
recollections several months ago. Exactly how much prodding did his
memory require if this was so significant at the time?
About four months ago, when he heard that Allen was a possible
candidate for president in 2008, Shelton began to write down some of
the negative memories of his former teammate. He provided Salon
excerpts of those notes last week.
With nothing other than anonymous sources to support Shelton’s claim
and the vast majority of relevant individuals contradicting the
story, it might better serve Scherer if he could produce a witness
without a possible political motivation….”

Re the item above, a postscript, we are anti-tobacco. We would like
to see it
banned worldwide. But although we oppose tobacco we can understand
that
politicians of both parties in tobacco producing states like
Virginia are likely
to be recipients of donations from industries like tobacco in their
states. We
wish this were not so. We would love to see BOTH Senator Allen and
James Webb,
a.k.a. Jim Webb stop using tobacco. But accepting donations from the
tobacco
industry does not make any politician, in either party, someone who
should be
lied about and smeared with garbage made up out of whole cloth. To
put it
bluntly we do not believe Dr.Shelton’s allegations against Senator
Allen. Do
you?

”I’m not sure where the real Jim Webb is, …”Why doesn’t he just do
the manly thing and retract his statement, admit he was wrong,
rather than trying to come up with these bizarre explainations?”

-VA State Senator Henry Marsh in the Wash Post

”He’s essentially articulated a positon on affirmative action that
almost no one articulates today.”

-Prof Robert D. Holsworth, Virginia Commonwealth University in the
Wash Post

The on again, off again nature of Jim Webb’s statements regarding
affirmative action have caused a restlessness in the black
community. Seven members of the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus
endorsed Webb’s opponent in the Democratic primary. I have come to
share some of the black members publicly articulated concerns
regarding Webb’s conflicting positions on affirmative action.”

Former Navy Secretary Virginia US Senate Candidate James Webb has
been a long
time opponent of the liberation of Iraq. When he was Secretary of
the Navy he
urged that the US attack Saddam’s enemy Iran. While we support the
liberation of
both Iraq and Iran, it is clear that the US tilt towards Iraq and
against Iran
in the Iran-Iraq war helped to set Iran on its current anti-American
path.

That tilt was a major mistake. Webb’s role in that tilt as Secretary
of the Navy
during part of the Iran-Iraq war is examined briefly here. Hopefully
those who
are naive enough to think of former Navy Secretary Webb as a
peacemaker will
have their eyes opened by this brief look at some of his history.

Excerpted from Pages 39-40 of SPIDER’S WEB: THE SECRET HISTORY
OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ by Alan Friedman ASIN:
0553096508

”In January 1987, as the” (Iran-Iraq)”war entered its seventh year
and the
combined death toll neared one million people, Iran began yet
another major
offensive. This time it pushed deep into Iraqi territory. Saddam
Hussein needed
help-but he also required reassurance from Washington about its
intentions,
since revelations in the Iran-Contra scandal were now detailing the
U.S. covert
military aid that had been going to his enemy, Iran. From Baghdad’s
point of
view, Washington was either ambivalent or duplicitous.

Thanks to the rival pro-Iraq and pro-Iran factions inside the
government, the
United States had indeed sent out very confusing signals.
Nonetheless, the
secret shipments to Iran paled when compared with the support given
Saddam, and
William Casey led the drive to placate Iraq. He had already met with
Tariq Aziz
at the United Nations to make sure Iraq was happy with the flow of
intelligence
it was receiving, and he encouraged Aziz to go ahead with more
attacks on
Iranian economic targets.

Then netural ships in the Persian Gulf began coming under attack
from both Iran
and Iraq. Those of oil-rich Kuwait were of particular concern to the
administration. Kuwaiti leaders wanted their oil tankers protected
by either
Moscow of Washington, and in March 1987 top U.S. officials including
Caspar
Weinberger, George Schultz aand Admiral William Crowe, the chairman
of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, decided to defend Kuwaiti vessels that were
navigating the
Gulf.

Two months later, on May 17th, pro-Iraqi officials such as
Weinberger suffered
an instant case of political whiplash when a U.S. frigate, the
Stark, was
attacked by an Iraqi warplane and thirty-seven Americans on board
were
killed….The Stark incident underscored the increasingly risky state
of affairs
in the Gulf, and it was followed by a formal announcement from
President Reagan
that the United States would reflag Kuwaiti oil tankers so that the
U.S. Navy
could escort them.”

”May 17 1987, had started out as a routine day in the Persian gulf,
we were to
soon be on patrol escorting the newly flagged Kuwaiti Oil tankers.
Little Did I
know that day would change my life forever .we were always thinking
of The world
and our loved ones back at home, to get this over with do our duty
to our
country .I had just helped Daniel Homicki, move into my old bunk,
and I went on
my last watch ,my commitment to the Navy was up.

What was supposed to be a good last memory for me went horribly
wrong. The
excitement of coming home was over shadowed by an Iraqi attack that
killed 37 of
my shipmates, and wounded many more, I narrowly escaped death myself
by being on
a SH2 Sea sprite helicopter.”

”USS STARK
On May 17, 1987, the Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate, USS Stark
(FFG 31) was
hit by two Exocet anti-ship cruise missiles fired by an Iraqi F-1
Mirage fighter
aircraft while operating in the central Persian Gulf. The explosion
of the first
missile caused extensive structural damage and flooding. Combustion
of the
burning propellant of both missiles immediately caused intense fires
to build
throughout the ship. There were 37 deaths and 5 injuries reported as
a result of
the attack.

”THE STARK INCIDENT
When the USS Stark (FFG-31) took a hit from a pair of Exocet
missiles in the Persian Gulf in 1987, its port side fire mains ruptured and its
precious supply of A-FFF Foam, which quickly extinguishes Class B oil fires,
became unavailable.
Additionally, the ship’s damage control and fire fighting inventory
did not include many of the important fire fighting and life saving
equipment that ordinary fire fighters ashore use every day.

The Stark incident killed 37 sailors, injured 21 others and caused
$142 million in damage to the ship. The terrorist attack on the USS Cole in 2000
caused similar damage to the port side fire mains…

”USS Stark should be remembered
Submitted by Jagfly, Apr 7, 2006
Hi, I just wanted to say it is a sad thing that you don’t hear much
of this attack. I have often brought it up to people and no one remembers. My
brother was on the USS Stark and he was one of the survivors. All men and women
who serve our country in the name of “freedom” and die doing it should forever
be
remembered, as it has been with WW1 etc. God bless all who serve our

”On October 12th, 2000 terrorists in a boat laden with explosives
carried out a suicide bombing of the U.S.S. Cole in the harbor at
Aden, Yemen. In what President Clinton described as a “despicable and cowardly
act,” 17 U.S. sailors were killed, and over 30 others were wounded.”

”Iraq has the motivation and the means to actively support the
Islamist networks of the region*** In the past, there have been
intelligence reports of possible cooperation between Iraq and Osama
bin Laden. Iraq has already tried to assassinate President Bush
Senior in 1993, when he visited Kuwait as a private citizen. In the
attack on the USS Cole in Aden (in) October (of 2000), there could
have been an Iraqi connection. Iraq has excellent relations with the
anti-Western Yemeni Islamists of the Army of Aden-Abyan, whose militants have
been arrested by the Yemenite authorities in connection with the attack. Such an
attack required long
preparations, technical and military skills and good operational
intelligence. In addition, the explosive used in the attack was sophisticated, a
”shaped charge” like a torpedo or a missile, a device not in use by terrorist
organizations, and which may have come from a military stockpile.”
The USS Cole was scheduled for duty off Iraq when it was attacked.

BY ELI LAKE - Staff Reporter of the Sun
September 28, 2006
URL: http://www.nysun.com/article/40572

WASHINGTON — Iraq’s president is issuing an ultimatum to his neighbors: Stop
meddling in my country or we will meddle in yours.

In public interviews and speeches during a recent visit here, Jalal Talabani’s
remarks became sharper toward Iran, Syria.... On September 26, he told National
Public Radio that if interference from Iraq’s neighbors continues, the “Iraqi
people will support the opposition of other countries and try to make troubles
for them as they have for us.”

The threat, which was repeated yesterday on the U.S.-funded al-Hurra
Arabic-language satellite network, marked the first time a top Iraqi politician
has explicitly laid out what will happen if the stream of improvised explosives,
insurgents, and funding for terrorists in Iraq does not end.”

And of course it will not end as long as the Baathist regime is in power in
Damascus, Syria it will seek to return Iraq to Baathist rule, albeit this time
controlled by Syrian Baathists. The lessons learned in the Vietnam war, that we
cannot permit an adversary to launch and support attacks from nearby safe havens
should not be lost on anyone. The Vietnam war was lost because America failed to
liberate North Vietnam. The Iraq war will be lost if America fails to liberate
BOTH Syria and so-called “Iran”, a.k.a. Persia.

The horrific thought of Vice President James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb, a heartbeat
from the Presidency under President Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2009, and Webb’s
grand design of allying the US with Syria, should send a chill into the heart of
every patriotic American.

Politics and Bedfellows An Age Old Story Told Once AgainWe do not know what to make of the gossip being circulated aboutlikely 2008Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton these days.It seemsstrange that material which appears to be damaging about her wouldsurface overtwo years before the 2008 Presidential Election. Yet such materialis surfacingall over the place these days. Perhaps it is relevant to her currentcampaignfor re-election to the US Senate in New York State where up untilrecently shehad been viewed as an odds on favorite to win re-election by a widemargin.That, however, was before the arab terrorist threats against ThePope began.”Mujahideen’s Army threatens Pope with suicide attackGeorge Conger and JPost staff, THE JERUSALEM POST Sep. 16, 2006As security was beefed up around Pope Benedict XVI on Saturdaynight, the Mujahideen’s Army movement in Iraq threatened to carryout a suicide attack against the Pope in revenge for his commentsabout Islam and jihad....Churches attacked in Gaza,(and in Judea andSamaria)...On a website used by rebel movements in Iraq, a messageposted by theMujahideen’s Army said members of the organization would “smash thecrosses inthe house of the dog from Rome.” European religious and politicalleaders havebacked the Pope in the wake of the Muslim protests over his academiclecture atRegensburg University Tuesday...”New York State is heavily Roman Catholic, as are many key states inPresidentialElectoral Politics, and in the 2006 race, where key US Senate racesin New YorkState, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,Connecticut and Rhode Island, andelsewhere,might easily be swayed by a shift in Roman Catholic voters away fromDemocrats,who are widely viewed to be appeasers of arab terrorists, if notallies of arabterrorists, towards Republicans, who are widely viewed as protectorsof Americaand the rest of the civilized world from the threat of arabterrorism.Though the name Arthur Turco is known to few Americans today, if theallegationsabout his romantic and political relationship with Hillary RodhamClinton in1969 when Hillary was at Yale turn out to be true Arthur Turco’sname mightbecome as much a household word as Monica Lewinsky’s name was in thelate 1990s.Unlike Monica Lewinsky however, Arthur Turco in 1969 was no starryeyed 20something intern being sexually used and abused by the most charmingPresidentof the United States ever to hold that office.Gerald Lefcourt, David Brothers, Abbie Hofmann, Dave Dellinger,WilliamKunstler, Jerry Rubin, and Arthur Turco can be seen at a BlackPanther Rally atFederal Court, in a photo taken on March 22nd, 1969. Arthur Turco isthe cleanshaven white man in the dark glasses,wearing a tie with his hand inthe pocketof his rain coat, standing behind bearded Jerry Rubin.You can see the photo in which Turco appears athttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/KnowTheEnemy/in the Birds of A Feather photo album athttp://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/KnowTheEnemy/photosArthur Turco was the New York City based leader of a weird whitegroup calledTHE PATRIOTS in 1969. THE PATRIOTS were allied with THE BLACKPANTHERS and aPuerto Rican group called THE YOUNG LORDS in something called THERAINBOWCOALITION. This was a different group from the Jesse Jackson relatedRainbowCoalition group.THE PATRIOTS operated relatively openly from an office in far uptownManhattanbut reputedly also used one or more covert “Safe House” styleapartments in theCHELSEA section of Manhattan. Some of those “Safe House” styleapartments wereallegedly fortress like places,allegedly filled with heavy weaponsincludingexplosives, as well as handguns, and automatic weapons.Some alleged background on Black Panther Party attorney and ally,Arthur Turcomay be found athttp://www.citypaper.com/news/story.asp?id=11450which describes Arthur Turco as the “Panthers’ New Yorklawyer,Arthur Turco.”The article states that : “Caplan says he believes that thePanthers’ New Yorklawyer, Arthur Turco, was the ringleader in the commission of thiscrime. “Hewas apparently in the house when the torture and the murder tookplace and waspart of the conspiracy to kill and remove the body,”Below is an example of a post which dates back to the Bill Clintonera we founddescribing some of the story.”Back in 1969 a group of Black Panthers decided that a fellow blacknamed Alex Rackley needed to die. Rackley was a fellow Panthersuspected ofdisloyalty. Rackley was first tied to a chair. Once safelyimmobilizedhis’friends’tortured him for hours by, among other things, pouringboiling wateron him. When theygot tired of torturing Rackley, Black Panther member Warren Kimbotook Mr.Rackley outside and put a bullet in his head. Rackley’s bodywas laterfound floating in a river about 25 miles north of New Haven, Conn.Perhaps at this point you’re curious as to what happened to theseBlack Panthers. In 1977, that’s only eight years later, only one ofthe killerswas still in jail. The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get ascholarship toHarvard. He later became an assistant dean at Eastern ConnecticutState College.Isn’t that something? As a ‘60s radical you can pump a bullet intosomeone’shead,and a few years later, in the same state, you can become anassistant college dean! Only in America! Erica Huggins was the ladywho servedthe Panthers by boiling the water for Mr.Rackley’s torture. Some years later Ms. Huggins was elected to aCalifornia School Board.How in the world do you think these killers got off soeasy? Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people whocame to thedefense of the Panthers. These two people actually went so far as toshut downYale University with demonstrations in defense of the accused BlackPanthersduring their trial. One of these people was none other than Bill LanLee. Mr.Lee, orMr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn’t a college dean. He isn’t amember of a California School Board. He is now head of the U.S.JusticeDepartment’s Civil Rights Division.O.K., so who was the other Panther defender?Is this other notable Panther defender now a school board member? Isthis other Panther apologist now an assistant college dean? No,Neither! Theother Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at YaleUniversityat the time. She is now known as The “smartest woman in the world.”She is noneotherthan...Hillary Rodham Clinton.”We checked Hillary’s official White House bio and found that:”In 1969, Hillary entered Yale Law School, where she served on theBoard of Editors of Yale Law Review and Social Action...”source:http://www.whitehouse.gov/history/firstladies/hc42.htmlWe also dug up the 1997 piece below on Bill Lan Lee”G.O.P Leader Says Nominee Will Be Halted November 10, 1997, MondayBy STEVEN A.

We do not know if there is anytruth to them at all, but allegations are beginning to resurfaceconcerning thealleged connections, which may have begun in 1969, between HillaryRodham,whileshe and her husband to be Bill Clinton were Yale students, andsomething callledTHE RAINBOW COALITION, not the one associated with Jesse Jackson,but anotherone, which was composed of 3 allied groups: THE BLACK PANTHERS, aPuerto Ricangroup called THE YOUNG LORDS, and a bizarre Maoist “white” groupcalled THEPATRIOTS.The so-called RAINBOW COALITION was an alliance between ARTHURTURCO’S whiteterrorist group THE PATRIOTS, and the original BLACK PANTHERS,(notto beconfused with a group using that name today), and a Puerto Ricangroup calledTHE YOUNG LORDS in 1969 when Hillary and Bill Clinton were Yalestudents.A relatively covert alliance also existed between THE PATRIOTS andheavily armedinternational arab terrorists,including those controlled byarafat,operatingeven then in the United States,and elsewhere. In particular theallegationscenter around the alleged connections between Hillary Rodham andArthur Turco,and others. Turco was the leader of THE PATRIOTS. THE PATRIOTSmembers woredungaree “uniforms” including dungaree pants and dungaree jacketsand heldMaoist style “self-criticism sessions”.THE PATRIOTS were allegedly heavily involved in drug use, whichincluded”snorting” horse tranquilizer drugs, among other things, andallegedly wereregular visitors to YALE.They also allegedly regularly read responsively from Lin Piao’sradical book.(“Encyclopedia of World Biography on Lin Piao(1907-1971) was a Chinese Communist military commander and politicalleader. His distinguished military career and loyalty to theprinciples of MaoTse-tung were the basis for his rise to second position in theChinese Communistleadership. He was involved in an unsuccessful coup d’etat in 1971.”)We would like to know what, if anything, you have found about thisstory? Is there any truth to it at all? We do not know.Then there is the matter of the Balkan Wars of the 1990s. FamedJewish columnistA.M.Rosenthal of THE NEW YORK TIMES called Bill Clinton, who he hadbacked inthe 1992 Presidential race against then President George HerbertWalker Bush,BOMBER BILL because of Clinton’s prosecution of the Balkan Wars ofthe 1990s.In those wars some 5,000 Serbian civilians were slaughtered inGuernica like airraids. Many of the same targets in Serbia that were bombed by theLuftwaffe inWorld War Two were bombed by the Luftwaffe in 1999.Bill Clinton turned the US Airforce into AIR BIN LADEN, flyingmissions againstSerbians who were fighting against Osama bin Laden’s forces in theBalkans.Why would Bill Clinton, the former anti-war activist of the1960s,who haddemonstrated against the Vietnam War,wage war against Serbia asPresident of theUnited States in the 1990s?The 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution limits Presidential termsof office to2 terms. Bill Clinton was elected to those 2 terms and served them.His lastfull year in office was 2000, the year his wife, Hillary RodhamClinton waselected to the US Senate from New York State. He left office onJanuary 20th,2001.Many observers viewed the 2000 US Senate race in which she waselected from NewYork State as a stepping stone to the White House for Hillary RodhamClinton.In New York State winning state wide Republican candidates need thenominationof the New York State Republican Party to be augmented by thenominaton of theNew York State Conservative Party.Winning statewide without BOTH nominations is not an easy thing foranyRepublican candidate in New York State.The website of the New York State Conservative Party proudlyproclaims : “The1994 elections were a breakthrough for the Conservative Party as weprovided themargin of victory for Governor George E. Pataki with the 326,605votes cast onour line.”source:http://www.cpnys.org/history/history.htmlIn New York State the votes of candidates on for example theRepublican Partyline may be combined with votes for the same candidates received onfor examplethe New York State Conservative Party line.Thus winning the nomination of the New York State Conservative Partyis vital tomaking a successful statewide run for office in New York State.Things were not shaping up at all well for Rudy Guiliani, who wasthe odds onfavorite for the Republican nomination for the US Senate race in2000 againstHillary Rodham Clinton.”Giuliani at Fund-Raiser, but Not Conservative Party’sNovember 17, 1999, WednesdayBy DAVID M.

Buchanan used his syndicatedcolumn and his office as communications director in the Reagan WhiteHouse from 1981-1987 to assist pro-Nazi Eastern Europeanorganizationsin trying to block the denaturalization and deportation of KarlLinnas, John Demjanjuk, and at least seventeen others who had beencharged by the U.S. Justice Department’s Office of SpecialInvestigations or had been convicted in federal courts of concealingwar crimes in order to gain illegal entry into the U.S. The KarlLinnas Case In 1981 the Federal District Court in Westbury, NYstripped 67-year-old Karl Linnas of his citizenship for having liedtoimmigration officials thirty years earlier about his Nazi past.Linnas’s crimes, the judge said, “were such as to offend the decencyof any civilized society.” From 1941-43 Linnas had commanded a Naziconcentration camp at Tartu, Estonia, where he directed andpersonallytook part in the murder of thousands of men, women, and children whowere shot into anti-tank ditches. A 1986 federal appeals court upheldhis deportation order, ruling that the evidence against the defendantwas “overwhelming and largely uncontroverted.” Summarily rejectingthecourt’s findings because evidence had been obtained from the SovietUnion, Buchanan orchestrated a national media effort to exonerateLinnas, demanding that his citizenship be reinstated. He championedthe Linnas cause in his syndicated newspaper column and TV program”Crossfire,” and arranged for then U.S. Attorney General Edwin MeeseIII to meet with him and members of Eastern European organizationswhohailed Linnas as a hero. On March 31, l987, Menachem Rosensaft,founder of the International Network of Children of HolocaustSurvivors, wrote a New York Times Op-Ed piece calling for acongressional investigation to determine whether any Americanofficialor functionary had intervened on Mr. Linnas’s behalf. Buchananresponded by saying it was the Office of Special Investigations thatneeded to be investigated. “Let us get it all out in the open,” hewrote, “nothing un-American can live in the sunlight.” AttorneyGeneral Meese delayed the deportation of Linnas as long as possible,all the while searching for a haven. After sixteen countries hadrefused, Panama agreed to accept Linnas “on humanitarian grounds.”News of the decision prompted Rosensaft and others to intercede withPanamanian officials in Washington, who told them that theirgovernment had not been informed of Linnas’s wartime atrocities.Panama withdrew its offer and issued a statement saying that “ourcountry and our Government reject and condemn the crimes committed byfascists.” On April 20, 1987, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to heara final appeal. At that point Meese was legally bound to comply withthe deportation order. Linnas was flown to the Soviet Union and threemonths later died in a prison hospital while awaiting trial.”http://uahc.org/rjmag/1096ca.htmlThe obvious question came to mind. Was the potential third partyDioGuardi 2000 Senate candidacy, which could have guaranteed Hillarythe US Senate seat from New York a “big payoff” for the Clintons forthe 1999 pro-Albanian Balkan war against Serbia which saw Kosovostolen from Serbia?http://aacl.com/indexmain.htmlis the url of a group which describes itself at that website as”the Albanian American Civic League. The Civic League was foundedby former Congressman Joseph DioGuardi and aboard of Albanian Americans in 1989 as the only registeredlobby in Washington, DC, representing the concerns andinterests of the Albanian people.Pay close attention to the phrase “living side by side in” found inthe quote below, and note how it has since been used by advocates ofa so-called Two State Solution, which envisages a so-called “palestinian” state “living side by side in” so-called “peace” with Israel.In reality the so-called Two StateSolution is more like Hitler’s infamous FINAL SOLUTION, as it isreally a Two Step or Two Stage plan, with the first step being getIsrael to hand over everything it will without total war, and thenwage total war against Israel from the land Israel hands over todestroy the rest of Israel.The self-described”purpose of the Civic League is to further the human rights and thenational cause of the divided nation of more than seven millionAlbanians living side by side in the Balkans in Albania, Kosova,western Macedonia, southeastern Montenegro, Presheve, Medvegje,Bujanovc (southern Serbia), and Chameria (northern Greece). Bybringing the political perspectives of 400,000 Albanian Americans tothe US Government, the civic League works to end the repressionand oppression of Albanians living under hostile Slavic Communistregimes in the Balkans and to preserve the culture, identity andhuman rights of Albanians throughout the world.”While you are digesting that quote, which sounds to me to be morethan a bit like the propaganda sprouted by the nazis about theso-called “Sudetenland”http://www.humboldt.edu/~rescuers/book/Chlup/chluplinks/sudeten.htmlhttp://motlc.wiesenthal.org/albums/palbum/p02/a0133p5.htmlhttp://www.humboldt.edu/~rescuers/book/Chlup/chluplinks/munich.htmlhttp://www.humboldt.edu/~rescuers/book/Chlup/czechcon.htmland other places inhabited by Germans and others which used theGerman population as a pretext for annexation and in some cases warby Germany.Saddam did the same thing when he move arabs into Kurdish sectionsof so-called Iraq.Syria has moved a million so-called “civilian” FIFTH COLUMNISTS intoLebanon, a nation which numbers under four million people, notcounting those million Syrian FIFTH COLUMNISTS.NATO bombed Belgrade TV repeatedly, after Belgrade TVstarted to show the comedic film “Wag the Dog” which is about a USPresident who starts an Albanian War while he is in the midst of asex scandal.Ken Starr, where are you now that we really do need you? (Ken Starrwas the anti-Clinton prosecutor who got nowhere in his attempts tooust Bill Clinton from the Presidency.)Some more thoughts from a different source are quoted below:”Fri, 2 Jul 1999 From: SendMeHack@aol.com SendMeHack at aol.comVOICE OF THE GRUNTSPECIAL REPORTFROM BEN WORKS BUYING AN INTERVENTION:KOSOVO AND ALBANIAN PAC MONEY IN CONGRESS By Benjamin Works,Director,The Strategic Issues Research Institute Hack and I, along with aselect group of others, have been at war with the KLA over its heroinand terrorist connections. We also knew something about how politicalmoney bought this war policy. Here’s the story. Back in 1995, late inthe Bosnian war, I got a reference to a 1986 Senate Resolutionproposed by Senator Bob Dole of Kansas, decrying Yugoslavian officialoppression of the Albanian population of Kosovo-that’s 1986, when theAlbanian Autonomous government was still fully operational. JosephDioGuardi, a New York Republican, sponsored the companion HouseResolution, both of which never emerged from committee. I got a copyof that Senate Resolution Nr. 150 from the Congressional Register ofJune 19, 1986 and then let it sit in my file for a long time, whilethe NATO occupation of Bosnia appeared to keep things calm.Meanwhile, Bob Dole managed to lose the 1996 Presidential Election,then vigorously supported Mr. Clinton’s year-by-year extensions forkeeping some 6900 US soldiers in Bosnia.As the KLA insurrection inKosovo reached civil war levels, I began to think about thatresolution and how it misrepresented history. I had done considerablereading on the origins of the Yugoslav conflicts, pulling WashingtonPost, New York Times and other reports from the 1980s, bearing onKosovo and the collapse of the Federative Republic’s communistgovernment under the pressure of ethnic-nationalism.Well, pieces fit together showing that all along it has been theethnicnationalist fascist losers of World War II in Croatia, Bosnia andKosovo whohave been exploiting the political process in Germany and the UnitedStates.Their goal has been to effect the division of Yugoslavia and thecleansing ofSerbian populations from their territories, while purportingthat “GreaterSerbia” was the menace to European security and not the post-fascist “GreaterCroatia” and “Greater Albania.”Survivors of the Croat Ustashe movement in southern Germany begantheir work in the 1960s, but Joseph DioGuardi must be given creditfor a sustained campaign to influence Congress beginning in themid-1970s. DioGuardi, an Albanian American whose ancestors came froman Albanian transplant community in the heel of Italy, sat inCongress for several years in the mid-1980s as a ConservativeRepublican from New York’s Westchester County, but creating aGreater Albania was his agenda as a map on his website shows(www.aapac.com)."His Political ActionCommittee (PAC) activities are easy to follow from 1988 on. Whatmakes the PAC and individual contributions to campaigns moreinteresting is the demonstrated connection between the Kosovo HeroinMafia, its “pizza connection” distribution (“inherited” from theGambino crime family) and money-laundering networks, and the numberof pizzaria owner-contributors listed in DioGuardi’s filings. TheCroats and Albanians came up with big pots of laundered money, thenspread it around selectively, with American politicians helping topersuade other members in Congress.I have indications of a political alliance between DioGuardi and BobDole going as far back as the early 1970s, but have not yet got allthe evidence in hand. What I do have is sufficient to reachtentative conclusions about how foreign policy, in a democracy, canbe “bought”-that is precisely what happened in the case of theKosovo Air War. In early 1987, kicking off his 1988 bid to wrest theGOP nomination from then-vice president George Bush, Dole received$1.2 million from Albanian American supporters in New York City,while DioGuardi received $50,000 at the same dinner.I expect the funding trail goes back further, at least to Dole’s 1976campaign.It certainly continued from 1987 through to the present.As the collapse of Yugoslavia loomed, the Croatian and Albanianlobbies continued their campaign:Defense & Foreign Affairs Strategic Policy, Mar 31, 1993 issue,reported as much as $50 million was larded around Capitol Hill in atwo-year period which saw the defeat of George Bush and led to BobDole’s control of the Republican party: The United States Congress,still reeling from a series of financial scandals involvingrepresentatives and senators, is now bracing for a new problem: themassive financial “contributions” which have been made to electionfunds of politicians by Croatian sources over the past two to threeyears.One Congressional investigator told Defense & Foreign AffairsStrategic Policy that the donations and expenditures on Washingtonlobbying by the Croatians over the past two years “could well exceed$50-million.””Much of this came directly from Croatian lobbyists,and some from Croatian American businessmen “Many of the campaigncontributions have been recorded legally,” the investigator said,”but many are questionable. But what is more important is that therehas been a pervasive attempt to push the United States along a linedefined by foreign powers-Croatia and Germany-and it has not beensubtle. Elected officials are being told to either support theCroatian line or face either a removal of funding or are told thatfunding will be given to their opponents. Or they are literallybribed into supporting the Croatian line.This was going on long before Croatia even made its open bid forrecognition as an independent state.” Now, as to individualcontributions, there are campaign contribution limits onindividuals, then there are Political Action Committees(PACs), “Soft Money” contributed to the parties and fed back tocandidates, and there is the time-honoredcustom of passing bundles of hundred dollar bills in brown paperbags to favored candidates. Federal Election Commission (FEC)records are on-line (http://www.tray.com/fecinfo/)and I have been able retrieve records for Joseph DioGuardi’s PACsgoing back to the 1988 election cycle, and have also tested BobDole’s 1996 Campaign and Liddy Dole’s Campaign-2000.It is all there in the lists of candidates and contributors. Inparticular, most of the Congressmen speaking loudest against Serbiaand Serbs are those receiving money from DioGuardi’s PAC. Some havesimply been beguiled,others may be more disingenuous.Recipients come from both sides of the aisle but are mostly membersof the House or Senate foreign relationscommittees...These records do not reveal monster sums of money, butdemonstrate the tip of the iceberg, where “soft money,” individualdeclared contributions and bags full of $100 bills also find theirway to select candidates.It is clear that Bob Dole and Joe DioGuardi, in league with Croatand Bosnian fascist emigrees, worked very effectively to set up USforeign policy to dismantle Yugoslavia and ruin the Serb people.They have succeeded admirably because they were organized andpersistent, while their opponents were disorganized and, ultimately,outnumbered by the overwhelming flood of media propaganda.Now, the US taxpayer is on the hook for Billions of Dollars, whileour servicepersonnel will be tied down for years in Bosnia and Kosovo,againattempting thekind of nation building that failed sospectacularly in Somalia and Haiti.

As bothcongressman and senator, Torricelli has championed the cause of arevolutionary Iranian group, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), identifiedby the U.S. State Department as a terrorist organization. ManyIranian-born MEK sympathizers have given Torricelli money ($136,000,according to one estimate), including $1,000 from Canada’s chief MEKorganizer, who wrote her check to Torricelli from her new home inWashington a week after an Ottawa court upheld her deportation,according to The American Spectator. Torricelli, in turn, sponsoredseveral resolutions and letters supporting the group as a “democraticalternative” to the Muslim fundamentalist regime and protesting U.S.sanctions against it-the Mujahedin advocacy group in America, theNational Council of Resistance, was labeled an “alias for the MEK” bythe State Department and barred from receiving any funds to operateonU.S. soil. The State Department is on solid ground. Although itportrays itself as a democratic grass-roots opposition, the MEKkilledU.S. military attachés in the 1970s and called for restrictions onJewish businesses; its military wing is based in armed camps in Iraq,backed by Saddam Hussein. In the past two years, it has openlyclaimedcredit for the killing of three high-ranking members of the Iraniangovernment, according to congressional testimony by then-AssistantSecretary of State Martin Indyk. Fears about Iranian terrorist-linkeddonors even led Torricelli’s staff to joke among themselves about whowould go outside to “start the car to see if it blows up,” a sourcerecalls.- Torricelli has also managed to appeal to organizations withvirulent anti-Semitic positions. In 1993, for instance, he was thekeynote speaker at a banquet co-sponsored by the United Associationfor Studies and Research (UASR), an organization identified byanti-terrorism experts and Israeli intelligence officials as thepolitical front for the Hamas terrorist group. Torricelli sat on thedais next to Ahmed Bin Yousef, the head of UASR, who champions theHamas cause. When attacked for his appearance at the banquet duringhis Senate campaign, Torricelli claimed in a news conference that hedidn’t know that the UASR was a sponsor or that it was tied to Hamas.Apparently he missed the front-page story in The New York Timesseveral months earlier that exposed its alleged terroristconnections.Torricelli is endlessly creative in trolling for support from ethniccommunities. He founded a congressional Pakistani caucus and told adinner hosted by a Pakistani-American PAC in 1996 exactly what theywanted to hear: “Pakistan cannot be intimidated into acceptingnuclearnonproliferation as was attempted by the U.S. Congress.”Clinton raises money for Sen.

Cloyes married Joseph DioGuardi in June 1998 according tothematerial about her excerpted from below in which she is describedas “BalkanAffairs Adviser” to the Albanian American Civic League,whosePresident is JosephDioGuardi, which states that :”In 1983, she coauthored a bookentitled To Workand To Love with German political theologian Dorothee Soelle andjoined thestaff of The Seabury Press as an editor. Following the closure ofthe house in1984, she became marketing director and editorial consultant inBlack andwomen’s studies at Orbis Books.In 1986, she joined the staff of Lawrence Hill & Company, anoffshoot of thebreakup of Hill & Wang, as associate publisher. The pressspecialized in AfricanAmerican and African studies, the Middle East, women’s studies, andcontroversial domestic and international political issues. WhenLarry Hill diedin 1988, she took over the house and was its publisher until the endof 1995.Some of the noteworthy titles that she published are The Politics ofHeroin: CIAComplicity in the Global Drug Trade by Alfred W. McCoy, Assata: AnAutobiographyby Assata Shakur, Ghosts in Our Blood: With Malcolm X in Africa,England, andthe Caribbean by Jan Carew, My Friend, the Enemy by Uri Avnery, andM.I.A. orMythmaking in America by H. Bruce Franklin.In 1995, she published Yugoslavia’s Ethnic Nightmare, the first bookon thecauses and far-reaching consequences of the Balkan conflict writtenfrom theperspective of Bosnian Muslim, Croatian, Serbian, and Macedonianjournalists whoopposed the war inside the former Yugoslavia. That year she becamethe BalkanAffairs Adviser to the Albanian American Civic League. She has sincewritten andlectured widely about the Albanian dimension of the Balkan conflictand madeeight trips to the region.Cloyes proposed the first Congressional hearing on the Albaniandimension of theBalkan conflict. Following the hearing in February 1995, whichincludedrepresentatives fromall the Albanian lands in the former Yugoslavia, she and CivicLeague PresidentJoseph DioGuardi traveled with Yugoslav dissident Mihaljo Mihaljovto Macedoniaat the invitation of Albanian leaders there to monitor the reopeningof theAlbanian-language University of Tetova. The Macedonian governmentattacked theuniversity on the morning of their departure, killing a student,woundinghundreds, and jailing the professors. In September of that year, shetraveled toTirana with DioGuardi and Congressman Benjamin Gilman, chair of theHouseCommittee on InternationalRelations, to meet with then President Sali Berisha and to Istanbulto make thecase for thethe independence of Kosova at the National Press center and at theUniversity ofMarmara.Cloyes has testified before Congress at two historic turning pointsin the lifeof the Albanian nation. In July 1996, she testified on behalf of theState ofAlbania before the House Committee on International Relations andexposed therole of Nicholas Gage of the Panepirotic Federation and the AlbanianCommunistsin attempting to overthrow the democratically elected government ofSaliBerisha. In 1998, she testified in support of U.S. troop deploymentin Kosova,following Bob Dole, Jean Kirkpatrick, and Henry Kissinger.In February 1998, after the Serbian army attacked Drenice, Cloyesworked withCNN to gain more complete coverage of the crisis in Kosova. InMarch, she andDioGuardi shifted the focus of a Congressional hearing with U.S.Balkan envoyRobert Gelbard from Bosnia to Kosova, and positioned the questionsthat forcedGelbard to retract his earlier depiction of the KLA as a “terrorist”organization. In August of that year, she published two majorarticles on U.S.foreign policy in the Balkans: “The Agony of Kosova” and “PresidingoverGenocide: The Shame of the West.” Cloyes is the author of the CivicLeague’sOctober 1999 public declaration, entitled “Resolving the AlbanianNationalQuestion,” which examines the internal and external factors thatstand in theway of creating a free and independent Kosova and bringing a justand lastingpeace to the Balkans.With the start of the NATO bombing campaign against Serbia in March1999, Cloyesand DioGuardi appeared separately and together on more than 50 radioand TVbroadcasts. Since the war ended in June 1999, they have made threetrips toKosova to report back to Congress on postwar conditions.Cloyes and DioGuardi were married in June 1998.”SOURCE:http://aacl.com/shirley2.htmlIf the name Assata Shakur in the bio of Mrs. Joseph DioGuardi aboverang anybells with you it is likely that you recall that Assata Shakur isthe alias ofJoanne Chesimard.

On 13 October 2003—some 32 years later—the manresponsible was found guilty of his murder in Fulton County SuperiorCourt.Freddie Hilton (51) was convicted of murder in the long-ago death ofJimmyGreene in a case prosecuted by Deputy District Attorney Al Dixon,SeniorAssistant District Attorney Michele McCutcheon, and Senior AssistantDistrictAttorney Peggy Katz. Atlanta Police Detective Jimmy Rose and SeniorInvestigatorM.C. Cox of the District Attorney’s Office investigated the case.JudgeStephanie Manis will sentence Hilton on 10 November, and he faces apossibledouble life sentence in prison.At the time of the murder, Hilton was a member of an organizationknown as the”Black Liberation Army,” a militant group infamous for attacks on lawenforcement officers in New York City and across the country. Ahandful of thegroup’s members had come to Atlanta after breaking away from theBlack PantherParty in the early 1970s. Hilton was among these.Officer Greene, engaged to be married and the father of one infantdaughter, wassitting in his vehicle at a gas station at the intersection ofMemorial Driveand Boulevard when he was approached by Hilton and his now-dead co-conspiratorTwyman Meyers. Hilton shot Officer Greene three times at closerange, stole hisrevolver and badge, and fled the scene. A witness saw Greene slumpedover in thefront seat and soon realized he had been shot. Greene died two hourslater.Several other former BLA members testified at the trial that Hiltonand Meyersreturned to the group’s residence where the pair bragged of thekilling.Shortly after the incident, Atlanta police found a witness who saidhe heardHilton confess to the killing, but then-District Attorney LewisSlaton feltthere was not enough evidence to bring formal charges. So the storyendedthere…or so it seemed.In early 2001, Detective Rose received a call from New York CityPoliceDetective Chris Karolkowski who had come across Hilton as a suspectin a childmolestation case and soon discovered that he had been the primesuspect inGreene’s murder. Rose soon re-opened the case, and, with the help ofInvestigator Cox, a Grand Jury indicted Hilton for the murder inJuly of lastyear. (Incidentally, Rose and Cox received the National Associationof PoliceOrganizations’ highest honor last year for their work on the case.)Hilton, whohad changed his name to Kamau Sadiki and was now working intelecommunicationsin New York, was brought back to Atlanta to face trial.Aside from justice for Officer Greene, perhaps the most positiveaspect of thispainful incident was the re-uniting of Greene’s long-estrangeddaughter MelodyAdams (now 34) of North Carolina with aunts and uncles she had neverknown.Hearing about the trial in the news, Adams traveled to Atlanta tosit in on thetrial and soon revealed her identity to other family members inattendance. Afamily long-separated by a brutal crime was now re-united.”SOURCE:http://www.fultonda.org/featuredarticle/30years.htmThe Albanian Connection; As Italians Move Up, a New Group Does thePizza and Pasta source: THE NEW YORK TIMESMore information.

Not all of these sex slaves’ clients aresoldiers andinternational workers, but their presence has greatly fuelled thedemand forbrothels in the Balkans. Certainly, the volume of trafficking,which picked upin the spring of 1999 as soon as Nato troops arrived in Macedonia inanticipation of military strikes against Yugoslavia [1], has greatlyincreasedsince the Kosovo war. Finally, the West has helped to create thelink betweenthe supply and the demand by supporting, in the Kosovo war, the veryAlbanianMafia which now controls this market. The fact that there is somuch reportingnow on the matter of sex slaves may be an indication that the powersthat be inthe West are beginning to ditch those whom they portrayed during thespring of1999 as passive and innocent victims….It is clear that the Albanian Mafia controls prostitution in Italy,and that avery large number of prostitutes there are effectively slaves.Although not allthe girls in Italy are from Moldova – many come from Nigeria andAlbania – ithas been affirmed by one of the leading authorities on prostitutionthat theyare kept in captivity. “All the women currently on the streets (ofItaly) areslaves. The proof is that the Nigerians, the Albanians, theRomanians and thewomen from Eastern European countries all have their passports takenaway bytheir pimps. There is not one metre of street in which prostitutionis notcontrolled by criminals,” according to Don Oreste Benzi, a priest inVerona whohas founded a charity which works with prostitutes. Benzi goeson, “TheAlbanians operate in family clans, in ‘joint ventures’ with theMafia in EasternEurope and Italy. No new pimp can start operating in Italy withoutpaying apercentage to the person who already controls the territory. Anymistakes arepunished by death. For the Albanians, vendetta is second nature:the conceptof forgiveness does not exist.”[7] According to Benzi’s charity, theAssociation of the Community of Pope John XXIII, 48% of theprostitutes in Italyare from Eastern Europe; 35%-40% are minors (from 12 to 18 yearsold); and 26%have been kidnapped and taken from their countries of origin byforce.[8]source:http://www.bhhrg.org/CountryReport.asp?ReportID=160&CountryID=16Hillary Clinton has also masqueraded as someone concerned aboutChildren’sRights. Once again, the Balkan Wars perpetrated by her husband BillClintonactually harmed children too.”Sexual exploitation of childrenAn especially appalling aspect of the trade in human beings is thesexualexploitation of children. BHHRG representatives interviewed MarianaPetersel,the Director of Save the Children in Moldova, whose organisation hasstarted tohouse and rehabilitate young women and girls who have been forcedinto sexslavery. The youngest victim with which they have dealt was nineyears old.260 victims of sex slavery have been housed and helped by Save theChildrenduring 2000.

Actor FrankPellegrinoplayed Johnny DioGuardi in Martin Scorcese’s 1990 film GOODFELLAS.Was JohnnyDioGuardi a relative of Joe DioGuardi? We would like to know. If youknow pleasepost your materials and sources for them.Joseph J. DioGuardi was born in the Bronx, New York, on September20th, 1940.Johnny DioGuardi was born in East Harlem on April 28th, 1914.Johnny Dio, a.k.a. Johnny DioGuardi was not Jewish by any stretch oftheimagination. DioGuardi specialized, among other things, invictimizing Jews.DioGuardi victimized some Jews directly and victimized other Jewslessdirectly, as they became unwitting customers. The article belownotes that “Asalesman for the company testified in 1969 that often the meat theydelivered toretailers was “sometimes light green and sweaty and often was anatrocity toperpetrate on our customers.””On November 14th, 1964, two NYPD detectives sat in a basement inQueens, NewYork, listening to a tape recording of the conversations coming outof a bug—atiny wireless microphone and radio transmitter hidden in the officeof NormanLoKietz, president of the Merkel Meat Company. They were listeningto evidencethat illustrated with chilling clarity that the Mafia controlled anindustrythat robbed the public of more than just its money. It was alsostealing itshealth and safety. In the taped conversations, the name “Johnny Dio”keptcropping up. The cops knew who he was.Dio’s photograph, with a cigarette dangling from one corner of aviscous snarlas he slugged a United Press photographer outside a Senate committeehearingroom, appeared on front pages of newspapers all over the country,because it soperfectly matched the average person’s preconception of what a Mafiathug shouldlook like.As the police developed their investigation into the Merkel MeatCompany and thelinks with Dio, aka Johnny Dioguardi, it became increasingly obviousthat theLucchese crime family was earning big money from its involvement inthe movementof substandard and, at times actually rotten meat, that was beingsold into theretail marketplace.Dioguardi was a master fixer and controller of locals and unionsand, throughthis influence, was able to manipulate opportunities for himself andtheLucchese family in a wide range of areas.The Nassau DA William Cahn illustrated Dioguardi’s association withoneparticular company that showed his ability to corrupt and control.In 1963, he joined Consumer Kosher Productions as a salesman on asalary of $250a week. By 1966, he was earning $5000 per week, and in addition hadtaken overcontrol of the business. He used this company as a vehicle to gaincontrol ofthe low price kosher meat business. Essentially his method was totake over anorganization, buy in supplies and create an extended line of credit,never payhis debtors, and when the business went bust, move on to the nextone.A salesmanfor the company testified in 1969 that often the meat they deliveredtoretailers was “sometimes light green and sweaty and often was anatrocity toperpetrate on our customers.” Consumer Kosher Productions eventuallywentbankrupt, and Dioguardi shifted what remaining assets there were toanothercompany called Tel Aviv. That company also went belly-up in duecourse and hethen set up a firm called First National Kosher Provisions. And soit went on.Eventually the law caught up with him and he was indicted, and in1967 wassentenced to five years in prison and fined $10,000. By this time,Dioguardi hadbeen connected to the Lucchese family for over thirty years.Johnny Dio under arrest(AP)Johnny Dio was born in East Harlem on April 28th, 1914. He grew upon ForsytheStreet in Little Italy where his father Dominick owned a bicycleshop there. By1930, he was already at age fifteen an apprentice young hood. Aftera year and ahalf at Stuyvesant High School, he left to begin work. Through theinfluence ofhis uncle, James “Jimmy Doyle” Plumeri, a prize fighter, racketeerand upcomingsoldier in the Gagliano family, he became a leg-breaker and buddingextortionistworking the Garment Center. He was also, as legend has it, one ofthe gangsters involved in the so called “Murder Inc.” groupthat workedout of Brownsville, East New York, in the 1930’s carrying outmurders….Darkly handsome—so dark that hewas called”Blackie” as a young street punk—wearing $250 silk suits and apleasant smile,well dressed, well barbered and well manicured, he was alwayscareful to givethe appearance of an urbane and successful businessman.In 1935,Thomas Dewey,the crusading New York DA, listed Dioguardi as among the mostdangerous hoods inthe city. And all this before he was twenty-one years old! In 1937he got athree-to-five year sentence at Sing-Sing after being convicted withhis uncleand several other mobsters for extortion and assault. They had beenextracting$5000 from every trucker in the garment district, plus demanding apremium onevery suit and coat made in the area.In 1944, he was indicted foroperating anillegal still, but the charge was dismissed.In 1954, he was triedand convictedfor failure to pay state income tax in connection with his continuedshakedownof operators in the garment district. For that, he got sixty days.InNovember1957, he went on trial with some Teamster officials for shaking downowners ofstationery stores. After a four week trial, he was convicted andsentenced totwo years in jail.By the time he was forty, he was a “made man” inthe Gaglianofamily which was now referred to as the Lucchese family, operatingas a capo, orcrew chief, and he was a multi-millionaire. He was highly regardedin the familyas a “ferocious earner” the highest accolade that can be bestowed ona member oforganized crime, generating in excess of $100,000 each week. He wasso rich, hisstandard Christmas present to his wife was a shoe box stuffed with$50,000 and asweet little note such as “ buy yourself some nice clothes,honey.”He lived ingreat style, wining and dining at the best hotels and restaurants intown, butalways reserved Sundays to meet with family and friends, and preparelunch ordinner. Like so many mobsters of Italian-American extraction, he wasanexcellent cook, and loved to entertain at his beautiful and lavishhome inFreeport Avenue, Point Lookout, Long Island, which he had purchasedfor $75,000in the early 1960’s. His legitimate business fronts whichcontributed to hissignificant tax returns each year, included many highly profitableclothingfactories, and also Jard Products at 260 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan,which soldpromotional items to commercial establishments. One of their majorcustomers wasthe retail chain Waldbaums.His skill as a union manipulator waslegendary in theMob, and on one occasion, Thomas Lucchese arranged for him to travelto LosAngeles to help out an old friend, Jack Dragna, the boss of the L.A.Mafiafamily. The ILGWU was trying to drive out non-union, cheap Mexicanlabour fromDragna’s factories, but Dioguardi’s expertise secured waivers onevery importantstipulation set up and foiled the union’s attempt.In the 1950’s,Senateinvestigations named Dioguardi as one of the masterminds thatmanipulated theunions operating out of Idlewild, the vast 5,000 acre internationalairport thatwould one day be called Kennedy.When Jimmy Hoffa was making his playto becomepresident of the giant Teamsters Union in 1957, he turned to an oldfriend,Johnny Dio for help. It wasn’t clear whether or not the majority ofthe New Yorkarea locals supported Hoffa, and this was necessary to swing enoughvoters tosupport his control of the mid western region, secured through theChicago Mob’shelp. The solution was to create more locals: enough to establish amajority.This was done by setting up “paper” locals—locals with few if anymembers—thatcould swing the balance in the New York voting.Dioguardi engineeredthe creationof seven new Teamster unions. The extra supply of delegates fromtheseguaranteed Hoffa control of the New York delegation of the Teamstersconvention.These seven locals were basically sham fronts, composed not ofworking people,but friends and relatives of Johnny Dio. Hoffa won thenomination.With hindsightit was probably the start of Hoffa’s imbroglio with the JusticeDepartment,resulting in his war with Robert Kennedy, his indictment, trial andimprisonmentin 1967, release in 1971 and the events that led up to the fatefulrendezvous onJuly 30th, 1975, at the Manchus Red Fox Restaurant in Detroit. Hewent there tomeet up with three men. It was a rendezvous from which he neverreturned,vanishing off the face of the earth; murdered probably by SalvatoreBriguglio, aman connected to the Genovese crime family. Hoffa became a ghostlytestator whohaunts the Teamsters trust to this day.John Dioguardi wasundoubtedly one of themost powerful members of the Lucchese crime family. His influencewas felt inmany areas, particularly those relating to labor. He is rememberedhowever, morethan anything, for one especially terrible act.In the early hours ofThursdayApril 5th, 1956, a nationally known newspaper columnist andcommentator on laboraffairs called Victor Riesel made a radio broadcast in New York. The41-year-oldRiesel was a crusading journalist, specializing in investigatingunioncorruption and Mob-influenced officials. Writing for the DailyMirror, hiscolumn was syndicated in 193 newspapers. This night, he interviewedtwo workersfrom Local 138 of the International Operating Engineers Union out ofLongIsland. Run by father and son both called William DeKoning, they andtheir localwere involved in shaking down contractors and were underinvestigation byManhattan US attorneys.After the broadcast, Reisel and hissecretary, BettyNevins, went to Lindy’s restaurant at Broadway and 51st Street for alatesupper. At 3 a.m. as they were walking to Nevins’ car, a manapproached them andthrew sulphuric acid into Riesel’s face. Rushed to St. Clare’sHospital,surgeons were unable to save his eyesight.Victor ReiselA federal investigation established the attacker was a twenty-two-year-old hoodand longshoreman called Abraham Tevi. He had been hired by one JoeCarlino andpaid $1,175 to do the job. The money had apparently been put up byDioguardi. Aspublicity mounted, Tevi became convinced that he had been grosslyunderpaid tocarry out a piece of work on such an important person and demanded$50,000. Whathe got instead was two bullets in the head, and his body was foundon July 28th,lying on Mulberry Street, in Manhattan’s Little Italy district.Although somepeople were tried and convicted of the attack on Reisel, the twoprime witnessesagainst Dioguardi, Gondolfo Miranti and Domenico Bondo, backed off,and allcharges against Johnny Dio were dropped in May, 1957.The assault on Victor Reisel brought a lot of pressure down onJohnny Dio. Thevery action that was aimed at removing a source of irritation,resulted in farmore damage to his activities that could possibly have occurred hadthe assaultnot taken place.Despite all the other criminal acts that he wasinvolved in orconvicted of, Dioguardi is still best known as “the man who blindedVictorReisel.” That reputation more than anything else guaranteed that thepolice, FBIand the media would never stop hounding him, and as a result, hewouldeventually spend the rest of his prime years in prison for othercrimes hecommitted.Dioguardi always on the lookout for new rackets,discovered the boomin fly-by-night stock promotions in the late 1960’s. Stock would beacquiredfrom a failing company for little or no money; the market would berigged in thestock through a brokerage firm he operated called J.M. Kelsey & Co.then theshares would be sold at vastly inflated prices—leaving the investorsto hold thebag when the fraud was eventually exposed. However fate and the lawfinallycaught up with Johnny Dio and, in 1970, he, along with his immediateboss in theLucchese crime family Carmine Tramunti, were indicted on fraudchargesconcerning stocks in two firms, Belmont Franchising Corp. andAt-Your-Service-Leasing Co.He was tried and convicted in December1973, andsentenced to a further prison sentence, concurrent to the one he wasalreadyserving at Danbury Prison in connection with one of his kosher meatcompanyscams. Due for parole in August 1979, he died in a prison hospitalthe sameyear.Johnny Dio going to prison one last timeJohnny Dioguardi was a good example of the consummate mafioso. Hestarted youngat fifteen and had a perfect introduction into the world of crimethrough theguidance and help of his uncle. He combined thuggery, cunning, guileand polishin an enviable mixture. He made the right kind of connections froman early age.Jimmy Hoffa for instance, was a boyhood friend, and Dioguardi usedthesecontacts throughout his career as a means of levering his scams andextortion’sinto huge, money-spinning ventures for himself and his crime family.Like manycriminals, he obviously had the brains and ability to have succeededinlegitimate business, had he been that way inclined. The highestearners in theMob work longer hours than any Fortune Top 50 C.E.O.s. Even thelowest soldierswill routinely put in eighty hour weeks, seven days to keep on topof theirscheming and scamming.When he died in a Pennsylvania prison hospital, his passingattracted nonewspaper attention. All his wealth and power and almost fifty yearsof criminaldepravity seemed to count for nothing at all. It was as though hehad neverexisted.”source:http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_outlaws/family_epics/lucchese2/2.html"February 2001In The Money: Congressman James Traficant And HisCampaignContributorsBy James Ridgway de SzigethyConvicted associates of the Pittsburgh Mafia Family, Mafia-corrupted laborUnions and Middle Eastern political operatives are among those whohavecontributed to the past two re-election campaigns of CongressmanJamesTraficant, an analysis of Federal Election Commission recordsreveals. Theserecords, which are required filings under Federal Election law,reveal 219donations by individuals and 212 donations by Unions and PoliticalActionCommittees. 47 of the personal contributions came from outside theState ofOhio, with 35 of those from the State of Virginia. 38 are fromindividuals thatindicate a Middle Eastern background of the contributor. Amongthecontributors whose names would probably be recognized by mostYoungstownresidents are Ed Flask, Mark Colucci, David Sugar, Anthony Saadey,RussellSaadey, Jr., Sam Traficanti, and fireworks businessmen Bruce Zoldanand GeraldBostocky. Among the contributors whose names would probably NOTberecognized by most Youngstown residents are Virginia residents AliAsgharAbbaszadeh, Reza Bulochi, Massud Mirmohammaoi, Ramesh Sepehrrad, andJavadVaziri, Samir Mohammad, Ammar Shafai, and Homayoun Nasser Sharif,Georgiaresident Hossein Shamsai, Massachusetts residents Mahaz Nasseri andHesseinSadeghpour, Kansas City’s Sajadi Sacid, Maryland’s Cyrus Samet andMahmoudTabassi, and San Diego’s Mohammad Bigdeli. Russell Saadey Jr.,a formerinvestigator for the District Attorney’s office in Youngstown, wasindicted lastDecember on charges he bribed Judges to fix Court cases. EdFlask accepteda plea bargain last year in which he pleaded guilty to felonycharges in regardsto his rip-off of nearly $2 million while running the public waterutility inYoungstown. Flask first received notoriety during the 1983 Federalbribery trialof then-Sheriff James Traficant, when it was revealed that ClevelandMafiaassociate Charlie “The Crab” Carabbia had secretly tape recordedTraficantbragging about how he laundered through Flask’s law office part ofthe $163,000in bribe money he accepted from the Mafia. Those same tapes revealedthatCarabbia was blackmailing Flask with “compromising photographs ofFlask whichwould ensure his silence!” Just days later, Carabbia was abductedand murdered.B & T Express employee Sam Traficanti was present during some of thesecret tape-recorded meetings between the Carabbia brothers and Sheriff-electTraficant,but was not charged. Two of Traficanti’s fellow employees at B & TExpress alsodonated to Traficant’s campaign records show. Traficanti is notrelated toCongressman Traficant. Last September, the Congressman’s employeeAnthonyTraficanti was subpoenaed by the Federal Grand Jury inCleveland.Congressman Traficant has also received campaign contributions fromYoungstownresident Walter Terlecki. In recent months, Congressman Traficanthas enteredinto the Congressional Record sworn affidavits by Michael “Beef”Terlecky, aformer Mahoning County Deputy Sheriff who was convicted of takingbribes fromthe Mafia. Terlecky now claims that he was set up by some of the sameauthorities that are now involved in the investigation ofCongressman Traficant,including two public figures who attended an anti-Mafia summitmeeting recentlyin Palermo, Sicily. The Congressman has denied a request by thechairman of theMahoning County Board of Elections who is seeking information theCongressmanclaims to have regarding Mafia bribes to the campaigns of electedofficials inYoungstown. Terlecky also claims that it was he who found theinfamousCarabbia tapes months before the FBI during an illegal search andseizureregarding an investigation into the murder of yet another YoungstownMafiafigure, Joe DeRose. However, conversations on the Carabbia tapesthat includeremarks made by Sam Traficanti clearly indicate that the tapes wererecordedmonths later than Terlecky’s claims, when Traficant had just beenelectedSheriff. Congressman Traficant is also now claiming that an FBIagent inYoungstown was taking bribes from the Mafia 38 years ago in1962. Duringthe 1999 Federal bribery trial of Youngstown Sheriff Philip Chancefireworksdistributor Bruce Zoldan testified that Chance shook him downfor ‘tributemoney’ to Pittsburgh Mafia figure Lenny Strollo. Zoldan’s first run-in withChance was in 1983, when Sheriff Traficant and his Deputy Chanceraided Zoldan’sfireworks business two days before their busiest moneymaking period,the Fourthof July. Zoldan would also testify that the Gambino Family led byJohn Gottiextorted a huge sum of money from him in order to do business in NewYork. Themurder of Mafia figure Joey Naples, who was among those whocontributed to the$163,000 bribe to Traficant, is believed to be a result of the fightfor controlof the fireworks business. David Sugar pleaded guilty last yeartoObstruction of Justice charges in regards to his attempts to concealevidencefrom the Grand Jury in Cleveland investigating financial dealingsbetween Sugar,his construction company, and Congressman Traficant. Sugar isexpected totestify against Traficant at any future criminal proceedings, as isTraficant’sformer employee on his horse farm, Clarence Broad. In November oflast year,Broad pleaded guilty to charges he tried to hire a hitman to murdera woman whowas expected to give damaging testimony against Traficant before theGrand Juryin Cleveland. Criminal attorney Mark Colucci, who also is amongthose who havegiven money to Traficant’s campaign, responded by alleging inFederal Court thatProsecutor Craig Morford had used coercion to force Broad to pleadguilty. JudgeDonald Nugent was not impressed with Colucci’s unsubstantiatedclaims andthreatened to cite Colucci for Contempt of Court. In 1998 and2000Traficant accepted donations from controversial activist JamesZogby, Presidentof the Arab American Institute. Zogby was recently in the news lastOctober,when his appointment as an Advisor to the Al Gore campaign sparkedoutrageworldwide among supporters of Israel. The Jerusalem Post quotedterrorism expertSteven Emerson: “Zogby has not only made comments that areincendiary but he hasalso made comments that are anti-Semitic!” “(Zogby has) openlysupported theHizbullah!” Emerson is renown for his investigation of the terroristbombing ofPan Am Flight 103, which exploded over Lockerbie, Scotland inDecember, 1988,killing 270 people, including 35 Syracuse University students.On June 29,1993, Senator John McCain entered into the Congressional Record apublicchallenge to the FBI and the Justice Department to share informationon thePeople’s Mujahidin Organization of Iran, a suspected terroristorganization thatwas involved in a clandestine effort to influence public policythrough anorganized campaign of directing contributions to the campaigns ofselectedmembers of Congress. Said the Senator: “Given the charges made in aprevious FBIreport that the PMOI has a history of terrorism, an anti-Westernideology, andties to the regime of Saddam Hussein, this should be a matter ofconcern to allMembers.” In 1997 The Iran Report, a publication of the MiddleEast DataProject, identified four members of Congress as recipients ofcampaign donationsfrom alleged associates of the PMOI. Those four were RobertTorricelli of NewJersey, Gary Ackerman of New York, Dan Burton of Indiana and JamesTraficant ofOhio. To date, none of these individuals have been charged withmaking illegalcampaign contributions. However, Senator Torricelli is currently inthe newsdefending himself against a Chinese fundraiser named David Chang,who haspleaded guilty to illegally contributing $53,000 to Torricelli’s1996 campaign.Numerous recent Media reports show that the Feds are now nearing theconclusionof an investigation that began with reports of impropriety regardingcontributions to Torricelli’s 1996 campaign. CongressmanTraficant hasdeveloped a huge following in the Arab and Muslim countries in theMiddle Eastbecause of his passionate public support for accused terroristsAbdel Basset AliMohmed Al-Megrahi and Al Amin Khalifa Fhimah, indicted for thebombing of Pan AmFlight 103, and former auto worker John Demjanjuk, who was placed ontrial inIsrael on charges he was “Ivan the Terrible,” a Nazi concentrationcamp guardresponsible for the murders of thousands of Jews during World WarII. Demjanjukwas convicted and sentenced to death, although the Israeli SupremeCourt laterreversed his conviction. Congressman Traficant then flew to Israelto personallyescort the accused murderer back to the United States. In thecase of theterrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, Traficant first went publicin thismatter at a press conference in 1989, at which he claimed that thebombing wasthe result of a joint Syrian/CIA operation. ABC News Londoncorrespondent PierreSalinger then picked up the story, utilizing Traficant, governmentinformantLester Coleman, and private investigator Juval Aviv as his sources.Colemanlater pleaded guilty to Perjury charges and admitted his Pan Am/CIAstory was ahoax. Juval Aviv was placed on trial in 1996 in Manhattan on Federalfraudcharges unrelated to the Pan Am case. He was acquitted. UponAviv’sindictment Congressman Traficant found a replacement in Boris deKorczak as hislead researcher in his quest to prove his Pan Am 103 theory. Borisis best knownfor the lawsuit he filed in 1996 against the CIA in which he claimedhe had beenrecruited by the CIA as a double agent against the KGB, thathis ‘cover’ hadbeen blown by a drunken U. S. official which resulted in a shoot-outwith theKGB during a car chase through the streets of Copenhagen, and thathis CIA caseOfficer extorted from him a bribe of Russian Medieval icons worth$300,000 inexchange for the promise of help in obtaining the pension he claimedwas owedhim. Boris claims he turned over the bribe, only to be shot in thekidney 4months later by an unknown assailant armed with a pellet gun. TheCIA deniedBoris’ claims he was owed monetary compensation and also denied anyof itsemployees shot Boris with a pellet gun. Boris’ lawsuit was dismissedand thedecision was upheld on Appeal. Despite the efforts of Traficantand hisassociates to prove their conspiracy theory, Abdel Basset Ali MohmedAl-Megrahiwas recently convicted as the terrorist who planted the bomb thatdestroyed PanAm Flight 103. Al Amin Khalifa Fhimah was acquitted. Inaddition toreceiving campaign money from convicted Mafia figures and MiddleEasternpolitical operatives, FEC documents also detail contributions made toTraficant’s campaign from Unions that have been involved incorruption scandalsin recent years. Those Unions include the American Federation ofState, County,& Municipal Employees, the Communications Workers of America, theTransportWorkers Union, and the UFCW. Traficant has also receiveddonations from theItalian-American Democratic Leadership Council, the Al Gore forPresidentcampaign, and the National Education Association Fund for Childrenand PublicEducation. Ironic is the $12,000 donated to Traficant by theAssociation ofTrial Lawyers, as Traficant is one of the few people without a lawdegree tohave ever beaten a Federal racketeering trial by acting as his ownattorney.When Sheriff Traficant was arrested by the FBI in 1982, he signed aconfessionafter agents played for him excerpts from the Carabbia tapes.Traficant thenhired one of the best attorneys in the business, Carmen Policy, EdFlask’spartner, who is today the President of the Cleveland Brownsprofessionalfootball team. However, after Traficant went public with chargesthat just aboutevery public official in Youngstown was involved with the Mafia,Policy dumpedTraficant as his client. Traficant then made a bold – and some wouldsay insane– decision to renounce his confession and stand trial, acting as hisownattorney. Traficant explained to the jury that he only accepted theMafia bribemoney so he would know whom to arrest for corruption once electedSheriff. Afterfour days of deliberations, the jury returned a verdict that stunnedtheProsecutors and journalists that covered the trial; Not Guilty.Traficant thenturned the publicity over his acquittal to his advantage and waselected toCongress in 1984. However, three years later he was again in Court,facing civilcharges that he owed taxes on the $163,000 in Mafia bribes.Representing him wasattorney George Alexander, who has since been convicted ofracketeering with theMafia. As in the O. J. Simpson case, Traficant was convicted in hiscivil trialand ordered to pay back taxes, fines, and interest. For manymonths now,Traficant has been predicting during public appearances that heexpects to beindicted - again - by the Federal authorities in Cleveland who haveto dateconvicted over 70 public officials, many of whom are associates ofthePittsburgh Mafia Family.

AMA Massachusetts ChairTahir Alisaid afterwards, “We are attempting to send an important message toall AMAchapters: we must support all who have [Muslim] interests at heart,regardlessof what part of the country they are running in.”EMERSON’S TESTIMONYAccording to Steve Emerson, a well-known investigative journalistspecializingin militant Islamic organizations, the AMA’s leaders “havesanctioned terrorism,published anti-Semitic statements, and repeatedly hosted conferencesthat wereforums for denunciations of Jews and exhortations to wage jihad.”Faced withpressure on the matter, Mrs. Clinton announced on Oct. 25th that shewasreturning the $50,000 in campaign contributions raised for her bythe AMA. Shefailed to give a credible explanation as to why it took her morethan fourmonths from June 13th until October 25th until she saw itnecessary toreturn the money.Mr. Emerson, in a recent Wall Street Journal article, noted: “Asfirst lady,Mrs. Clinton began in 1996 an outreach program to Muslim leaders inthe U.S.With America’s Muslim population at some six million and growing, aneffort toinclude the community’s leaders in the mainstream of Americanpolitics isunquestionably a worthy undertaking. But curiously, nearly all ofthe leaderswith whom Mrs. Clinton elected to meet came from Islamicfundamentalistorganizations. A review of the statements, publications andconferences of thegroups Mrs. Clinton embraced shows unambiguously that they have longadvocatedor justified violence. By meeting with these groups, the first ladylent themlegitimacy as “mainstream” and “moderate”.”But this should not be unexpected, considering Mrs. Clinton’s pastradicalaffiliations. During the 1980’s, ultra-liberal lawyer Hillary Rodham-Clintonserved on the board of the New World Foundation, which funneledmoney to thePalestine Liberation Organization, at a time when the PLO wasofficiallyrecognized by the United States as a terrorist organization.Similarly, in February 1996, Hillary hosted a reception at the WhiteHouse forleaders of Hamas-supporting groups such as the American MuslimCouncil and theCouncil on American-Islamic Relations. And in January, 1998, Hillaryhostedanother White House reception honoring Muslim leaders and the MuslimPublicAffairs Council who defended militant Islamic fundamentalism andalso supportedradical Islamic groups.THE REAL HILLARYThis, then, is the real Hillary Rodham-Clinton. An ambitious womanwilling toutter any banal cliche on behalf of “Israel’s security” to placateunaware NewYork Jewish voters, but one whose pre-Senate race record on Israelis appalling.It’s a record of supporting the terrorist PLO, even before the 1993signing ofthe first Oslo Agreement on the White House lawn, of ignoringblatant calumnyheaped on Israel by Suha Arafat, of supporting the creation of aPalestinian PLOState, of hosting and legitimizing extremist Islamic groups in theUnitedStates. Most recently, it included taking campaign contributionsfrom these verysame evil, anti-Semitic organizations - until being caught with herhand in theextremist Islamic cookie jar. This is the very same Hillary Rodham-Clinton whonow claims to be Israel’s friend.”SOURCE: http://www.papillonsartpalace.com/hillarSy.htmYou can see actual photos of arafat’s uncle,Haj Mohammad Amin al-Husseini,the grand mufti of Jerusalem, and others :Kofi and Nasrallah, boss of HezbollahAFAFAT’S UNCLE THE MUFTI WITH ISLAMIC NAZISARAFAT’S UNCLE THE MUFTI WITH FELLOW NAZISARAFAT’S UNCLE THE MUFTI WITH MOSLEM SSThe Mufti and HitlerHimmler with a Moslem SS DivisionJoe DioguardiHillary Clinton Kissing Arafat’s Wifeathttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/KnowTheEnemy/http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/KnowTheEnemy/photosHillary Clinton Kissing Arafat’s Wife may also be seen at:http://www.papillonsartpalace.com/hillarSy.htmarafat's uncle,Haj Mohammad Amin al-Husseini,the grand mufti ofJerusalem raisedthree Moslem nazi SS divisions for Hitler during World War Two.

UCK in Albanian.The children and grandchildren of the Albanian Moslem SS Divisionbecame the so-called “KLA”.The item below gives some more background:Dear Messrs. Hogan & Sacre et al, at the Australian ‘Sixty Minutes’program:Sir, I am an expatriate Jewish American currently residing in Perth,WA,Australia. I just viewed your tribute to the late Mr. RichardCarleton lastnight. For your information, my mother lost virtually her ENTIREfamily to theNazis in World War 2. It is very sad and depressing for mepersonally that Mr.Carleton has passed away without being able to rectify his extremelybiased andmisinformed portrayal & demonization of the Israelis & Serbs vis-a-vis theconflicts in the Middle East & Balkans while he was still alive.Sir, why do you never mention the fact that the people who the Serbsand IsraeliJews are fighting to this very day are unrepentent mass murderingNazis &Islamist terrorists who were publicly committed to Genocide of theSerbs & JewsBEFORE the “official” outbreak of war in their respective countries ?Why is their no mention of the heinous crimes of the BosnianIslamist Naziwarlord, Mr. Naser Oric, from April 1992 to August 1995 in andaround villagesadjoining Srebrenica & Gorazde? Mr. Oric received his specificinstructions forthese slaughters from Alija Izetbegovic - according to testimonyunder oath, byFrench UN general, Phillipe Morillon, at the ICTY Hague “war crimestribunal”.Mr. Oric’s barbaric murders of Serbian women & children wererigorouslydocumented in several UN reports and even PHOTGRAPHED & VIDEOTAPEDby himselfand shown to US & Canadian reporters while he LAUGHED as he watchedhis videos!!(see below links ). This monster cold bloodedly murdered - using themosthideously brutal methods over 3,870 innocent elderly Serbian men,women and evenbabies and children under 5 years of age, mostly by cutting throatsandbeheading, often preceded by the most horrific tortures includingcutting off oflimbs, lips, noses, ears, breasts, genitalia, burning of skin andgang rape. Yetyou and your colleagues at Sixty Minutes have consistently FAILED tomention anyof it in over 14 years of reporting. Why?Similar crimes were perpetrated by the Croatian Ustasha Nazisagainst Serbs inCroatia from late 1990 onwards - soon after Mr. Franjo Tudjman cameto power -and in the Serbian Krajina province which was cleansed of 275,000 to350,000Serbs by Messrs Franjo Tudjman, Ante Gotovina & Agim Ceku fromAugust toNovember 1995 in the Clinton administration-backed massive ethniccleansingoperation known as “Operation Storm”: the total number of Serbscleansed fromCroatia & the Krajina province being close to 600,000 from late 1990to November1995 with total Serbian CIVILIANS murdered estimated at 14,000 to20,000 byindependent Western observers (see the links below). Why is thisnever mentionedin any of your reports over the last 11 years?Sir, were you aware that both Mr. Franjo Tudjman and Mr.AlijaIzetbegovic are onrecord as saying & writing words to the effect that there can be NOpeace orco-existence with the Serbs and Jews and that the Serbs should getthe hell outof Bosnia, Croatia/Krajina or else be killed? Did you know similarstatementswere publicly made by Messrs. Agim Ceku, Ramush Haradinaj and HashimThaciconcerning the Serbs and Jews in Kosovo: that they should leave orelse beslaughtered?Were you aware that both Messrs Franjo Tudjman and Alija Izetbegovicin theearly 1990’s BEFORE the outbreak of war in ex-Yugoslavia PUBLICLYadmitted totheir admiration of World War 2 Nazi leaders Adolph Hitler, AntePavelic and HajAmin Al-Husseini and their Nazi genocidal policies with regards tothe Serbs &Jews? Were you aware that the late Alija Izetbegovic was anauxiliary in theBosnian Muslim Nazi SS “Handzar” [”Dagger” or “Scimitar”] division,and a memberof the “Young Muslims” organization in Bosnia in early 1943 - saidorganizationserving as a recruiting tool for this 20,000 strong Muslim Nazi SSdivision?Were you aware that there is absolutely no public record in theWestern media ofthe late Franjo Tudjman’s war time activities prior to his joiningTito’spartisans in 1944?Sir, were you aware that the late PLO leader Yasser Arafat was aclose associateof the WW2 Islamist Arabic Nazi leader, and friend of Adolf Hitler,the GrandMufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin Al-Husseini? Were you aware that theleaders of theKLA, Messrs Agim Ceku,Ramush Haradinaj & Hashim Thaci, derive theirideology &guiding principles from the racist Nazi “Greater Albania” proponentsof the WW2Albanian “Skanderbeg” Nazi SS division and the “Greater Albania”adherents ofthe exceedingly brutal and repressive Stalinist-Maoist totalitariandictatorshipof the late Enver Hoxha in Albania?Were you aware that the alleged Jenin “massacre” of Arab civiliansin 2002 byIsraeli IDF forces was a deliberate HOAX disseminated by Western NATOgovernments & the corporate media ? (Seehttp://www.hirhome.com/yugo/ranta.htm )Were you aware that the so-called “Deir Yassin massacre of Arabcivilians” in1948 is also a brazen LIE by pro-PLO supporters? (Seehttp://www.hirhome.com/israel/deir-yassin.htm)It is utterly INCONCEIVABLE that you and your team at Sixty Minuteswere notaware of all the above, so the obvious question is: why you have sofar failedto mention -in the last 16 years of your program’s telecasts any ofthe above -and why you have failed to report on the barbaric & heinous crimesof theNazi/Islamo-Fascist al Qaeda- linked mass murdering Balkan warcriminals :Messrs. Naser Oric (see photos & videos of his crimes below), HashimThaci,Ramush Haradinaj, Agim Ceku, Tomislav Mercep,Dobrosav Paraga, thelate CroatianNazi Holocaust denier, Adolf Hitler & Ante Pavelic admirer:Mr.Franjo Tudjman,as well as the Iranian-backed Islamist fundamentalist terrorist, thelate Mr.Alija Izetbegovic? Could it be because all of the above weresupported byArabic/Islamic countries with large reserves of oil and thus backedby theUnited States administration of Bill Clinton & NATO/EU governments?See the Western government & media suppressed official UnitedNations documents:A/48/177, S/25835 and A/47/813, S/24991 describing thehideous murders and rapes of Serbian civilians in and aroundSrebrenica andother Bosnian towns - available at:http://emperors-clothes.com/sreb/mem.htmhttp://www.srebrenica-report.com/docs/UN-1993-1.pdfThe UN document A/47/813, S/24991 on rape by Bosnian Muslim & Croatforces inBosnia in 1992 can be read at:http://www.srpska-mreza.com/Bosnia/rapes/raped-serbs.html.Isn't it just a little strange that the above reports have NEVERbeen mentioned- even once - in the Western corporate media or by Westerngovernments for thelast 13 years?Sir, I also wish to ask why you never point out that the PalestinianArabs areled by people whose ideology comes from the Hassan Al-Banna ledIslamist-Nazi”Muslim Brotherhood” organization whose ultimate goal is GENOCIDE ofthe Jewishpeople? Why the PLO’s Fatah organization ideology comes from thesame source andwas really led and mentored by Adolf Hitler’s close friend, theGrand Mufti ofJerusalem, Haj Amin Al-Husseini, up until his death in 1974?See: http://www.hirhome.com/israel/pal_mov.htmhttp://www.hirhome.com/israel/deir-yassin.htmhttp://emperors-clothes.com/makara/aramilo.htmhttp://www.hsje.org/muslim_brotherhood.htmhttp://www.conceptwizard.com/info.htmlhttp://nato-media-lies-exposed.blogspot.com/2006/05/why-does-sixty-minutes-sbs-c\over-up.htmlTetovo and Greater Albania : Tetovo During World War II, 1941-1944by Carl SavichTetovo during World War II, 1941-1944: IntroductionThe practical implementation of the Greater Albania ideology wasachieved duringWorld War II when Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini established aGerman/Italiansponsored Albanian state which incorporated Western Macedonia,Illirida,Kosovo-Metohija, Kosova, and southern Montenegro . Hitler andMussolini set thehistorical and political precedent for the creation of GreaterAlbania whichexisted from 1941 to 1944. The Orthodox Slavic populations, the Romaand Jewishpopulations were to be exterminated and deported. Albanian was madethe officiallanguage in Kosovo, Western Macedonia, and southern Montenegro . TheAlbanianLek was introduced as the official currency. The Albanian nationalflag, adouble-headed black eagle on a red background, was raised in theoccupied areas.Hitler and Mussolini had achieved a Greater or Ethnic Albania . TheUCK, theso-called Albanian Liberation Army, known also by the acronyms theNLA/KLA/ANA/KPC/LAPMB, seeks to re-establish and to re-create theGreaterAlbania first created by Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. Theagenda, thegoals, and the objectives of the UCK are identical to those of theideologues ofGreater Albania during World War II who created a Greater Albania inWesternMacedonia, Kosovo-Metohija, and southern Montenegro . WesternMacedonia and thecity of Tetovo are integral and inseparable components or parts ofthe GreaterAlbania ideology. Greater Albania would be incomplete withoutWestern Macedonia. What is being witnessed in Kosovo and in Macedonia today is arepeat or replayof what occurred during World War II, when Hitler and MussoliniestablishedGreater Albania.Albanian Nazi’s were specially brutal to the Serb Orthodox clergy.Here anAlbanian is murdering an Orthodox priest in Devic in World War 2.Tetovo during World War II: Italian Occupation, 1941-1943 AdolfHitler andBenito Mussolini established Greater Albania in 1941 following theoccupationand dismemberment of Yugoslavia . On April 6, 1941, Germany andallies Italy ,Albania , Hungary , and Bulgaria invaded Yugoslavia in OperationPunishment.Yugoslavia was subsequently occupied and dismembered. Hitler andMussolini thensponsored a Greater Albanian state which included territory fromWesternMacedonia, Kosovo-Metohija, and southern Montenegro .Tetovo became a part of Albania . The borders of Albania wereenlarged toinclude not only Tetovo or Tetova in Albanian, but all of WesternMacedonia(Illirida), Kosovo-Metohija, and regions of Montenegro . Present-dayMacedonia(FYROM) was divided between Albania and Bulgaria . Tetovo was in theItalianzone of occupation until September 3,1943, when Italy surrenderedand Germanyre-occupied Macedonia . Ethnic Albanians in Macedonia formed theNationalAlbanian Committee to advance the Greater Albania movement andagenda. The BalliKombetar (BK, National Union) was formed by Midhat Frasheri and AliKlissura toadvance the Greater Albania ideology or cause. The Slavic Orthodoxpopulationswere targeted for deportation or murder. The Jews and Roma weresimilarly to bedeported or killed.Hitler and Mussolini had given the ethnic Albanians Greater Albania.In August,1941, the Italian occupation forces in Tetovo established a prisonfor prisonersof war. The Italian occupation authorities gave the civil authorityandadministration to the Albanian population. All Albanian-inhabitedterritories,Western Macedonia, Illirida, Kosovo-Metohija, Kosova, and southernMontenegro ,were integrated completely into Albania proper. Albanian languageschools, anAlbanian press, an Albanian radio network were established and anAlbaniangovernmental and political administration was created. Vulnetara, anAlbanianparamilitary formation, was organized. Albanian police units wereestablished bythe Italian occupation force. Albanian became the official languageas WesternMacedonia or Illirida became a part of Albania . The Albaniannational flag, thedouble-headed black eagle on a red background, was raised in Tetovoand othercities and towns in Western Macedonia . The Albanian Lek wasintroduced as theofficial currency. Tetovo, Gostivar, Struga, Debar, and Kichevo werethe keymunicipalities and districts in Western Macedonia incorporated intoAlbania , aGreater Albania. Eastern Macedonia was occupied by Bulgarianmilitary forces.Macedonia was divided between Albania and Bulgaria . Hitler andMussolini soughtto delineate the borders between Greater Albania and GreaterBulgaria. TheAlbanians and their Italian sponsors wanted to enlarge the bordersof Albaniaeastward encroaching on Bulgarian occupied territory. The Bulgarianssought toexpand westward. On April 20 and 21, 1941, the German foreignminister, JoachimRibbentrop, and the Italian foreign minister, Count Galeazzo Ciano,met inVienna to discuss the Bulgarian occupation zone and the enlargementof theborders of Greater Albania eastward. Ribbentrop emphasized theimportance of themines in Kosovo-Metohija and Macedonia that were vital to thestrategicinterests of Germany . The German and Italian supreme commandsreached anagreement on the final demarcation line in Macedonia . Hitlerapproved theagreement on April 25. The agreement was tentative, however, and wasnot afinal, complete agreement on demarcation lines. The agreement wasabandonedlater as Italy and Bulgaria could not agree on a border betweentheir twooccupation zones in Macedonia and Kosovo-Metohija. Later in 1941,the two sideswere able to reach an understanding on where the border should be.The Italian occupation forces appointed Albanian Dzaferi Sulejmanithe presidentof the Tetovo district. The vice-president was Albanian MunirTevshana who hadcome from Albania . Later, Zejnel Starova and Shaib Kamberi replacedhim.Kamberi worked for the Italian intelligence service. Selim Shaipiwas therepresentative for Tetovo and was the leader of the Albanian youthmovement.Shaipi was also a representative of the Second League of Prizren andwas thepresident of the Third Balli Kombetar Committee. Shaipi fled withthe GermanArmy when Tetovo was evacuated in 1944. Husein Derala was made thecommander ofthe gendarmes units in Tetovo by the Italian occupation forces.Albanian troops in the 21st Waffen Gebirgs Division derSS “Skanderbeg”, 1944.The Albanian administration targeted the Orthodox, Slavicpopulations forelimination, disenfranchisement, de-recognition, and expulsion.Feyzi Alizoticalled for the extermination and deportation of non-Muslims. TheGreater Albaniaideology was anti-Orthodox, anti-Slavic in nature, and atrocities,deportations,and murders were committed against the Slavic, Orthodox populations.JosipKovac, a Slovenian who was placed in charge of the Tetovo hospitalby the Axisforces, described the anti-Orthodox, anti-Christian, anti-Slavicactivity ofAlizoti as follows:”There were exceptionally hard times in the annexed areas of WesternMacedoniaand Kosovo-Metohija when Fejzi Alizoti, the High Commissioner,visited. He gavea speech in Tetovo that demanded the annihilation of the non-Muslimcommunities.Publicly and openly he stated that there will be no peace until thelastforeigner---Orthodox Christians---leaves his territory and settlesacross theborder and only ethnic Albanians are left behind. Following hisvisit, thesituation deteriorated and became unbearable for all non-Muslims.”The Italian military intelligence service, OVRA, formed anindependent battalionin occupied Tetovo. The battalion was named ìLjubotenî, a specialunit made upof ethnic Albanians in the Tetovo region. This Italian-createdAlbanian Axisunit was to uncover, question, and annihilate any resistance to theoccupation.After the surrender of Italy in 1943, the German forces retainedthis Albanianformation allowing the unit to keep their Italian-issued uniformsand weapons.Members of the Balli Kombetar later joined the Ljuboten battalion.At the end of1943, the Ljuboten unit was engaged in the attack on Kichevo inMacedonia .The Italian occupation of Western Macedonia allowed the Albanianpopulation tocreate an ethnic Albanian-ruled region. Albanian police andparamilitary unitswere formed as a proxy army by the Italian forces. The civiladministration wasentrusted by the Italians to Albanian leaders. Albanian became theofficiallanguage;the civil and police administration was taken over byethnic Albanians;Albanian schools, newspapers, and radio stations were established.Tetovo becameTetova, an Albanian Muslim city in the newly-expanded Albanian state.Early HistoryFrom the 14th century, Tetovo has been an Orthodox Slavic settlementfoundedaround the Orthodox Church of Sveta Bogorodica (Saint Mother of God)near themountain source of the Pena river in the Polog valley. SvetaBogorodica wasbuilt in the 13th century when Tetovo began to be regarded as amajor OrthodoxChurch center. Tetovo was the first center of the Orthodoxepiscopate. Theoldest settlement in Tetovo is the region around the SvetaBogorodica OrthodoxChurch. The modern city of Tetovo grew from this small medievalOrthodox Slavicsettlement of Htetovo with the building and construction of housesaround theOrthodox Church. The Ottoman Turkish Muslim Empire invaded andoccupiedpresent-day Macedonia beginning in the 14th century. The MuslimTurks begansettling and colonizing Macedonia with Turkish settlers. The OttomanTurks beganthe Turkification and Islamicization of Macedonia. The Ottoman Turksaltered theOrthodox Slavic nature of Tetovo, which in Turkish was renamedKalkandele. TheOttoman Turks began settling the level lowlands of Tetovo. TheColored orPainted Mosque (Aladzha or Sharena Dzamija), also known as the PashaMosque, wasbuilt in 1459 by the Ottoman Turks. The earlier Slavic Orthodoxpopulationconcentration in Tetovo was on the high ground and on the foothillsof the SharPlanina or Mountain range.In the 18th and 19th centuries, the city began to expand greatly.The city wasdivided into the Orthodox Slavic quarter and the Muslim Turkishquarter. TheOrthodox Slavic quarter or section was on the left side, on the PenaRiver ,made up of the Potok, Dva Bresta, Koltuk, Sveti Nikola, Dol,Pevchina, and Dolnoregions. The Turkish Muslim quarter or section included thefollowing regions:The Colored Mosque (Sharena Dzamija) region, Banja, Gorna Charshija,Gamgan, andSaat. After World War II, the ethnic mosaic of the city changed withthedisplacement of the Serbian Orthodox and Turkish Muslim populations.The citythen acquired its present ethnic configuration of MacedonianOrthodox Slavs andMuslim Albanians. Different city subdivisions emerged. Newsettlements anddistricts were formed such as Przhova Bavcha, Tabakaana, Gazaana,the Tetekstextile plant district, and the Boulevard ìBoris Kidricî.In the town of Leshok , which had been known as Legen Grad, in theTetovomunicipality, is located the Leshok Monastery which includes theOrthodox Churchof the Holy Virgin built in 1326 and the Sveti Athanasius OrthodoxChurch builtin 1924. The tomb of the Orthodox scholar Kiril Pejchinovic lies inthe LeshokMonastery. The Church has three layers of frescoes: The lower layerwas built in1326, the middle layer was built in the 17th century, and the toplayer wasbuilt in 1879. The Leshok Monastery symbolizes the Orthodox andSlavic presencein the region. The UCK separatists deliberately mined and demolishedtheMonastery in August, 2001, to eradicate and cleanse the OrthodoxSlavicinfluence. Cultural cleansing is followed by the ethnic cleansing oftheOrthodox Slavic population. The UCK has ethnically cleansed ordriven out muchof the non-Albanian population from the Tetovo district.””HILLARY RUSHED TO SUPPORT PALESTINIAN STATEAnd Hillary Rodham-Clinton? Well, in May 1998, she told a youthconference onMiddle East peace in Villars, Switzerland, that she supports theeventualcreation of an independent Palestinian state. Her spokesperson,Marsha Berrytold reporters: “”These remarks are her own personal view.” Then, inNovember1999, while on a purported State visit to the Middle East, shepublicly appearedwith Yasser Arafat’s wife Suha. With Hillary at her side, SuhaArafat made thedeliberately false allegation that “Our [Palestinian] people havebeen submittedto the daily and intensive use of poisonous gas by the Israeliforces, which hasled to an increase in cancer cases among women and children.” Mrs.Arafat alsoaccused Israel of contaminating much of the water sources used byPalestinianswith “chemical materials” and poisoning Palestinian women andchildren withtoxic gases.Instead of reacting with outrage, Hillary Clinton sat by silently -and gave hera hug and a kiss when she finished speaking. Later, many hours afterthe event,and only after a media furor put her on the spot for what many viewas a bitmore than a mere political “faux pas”, Mrs. Clinton called on “allsides” torefrain from “inflammatory rhetoric and baseless accusations” -includingIsrael, whose leaders made no such accusations. Glossing over thisremarkablyrepugnant affair, Mrs. Clinton has yet to specifically contradictand denouncethe monstrous lies uttered by Yasser Arafat’s wife in her presence.”SOURCE: http://www.papillonsartpalace.com/hillarSy.htmthe following item is excerpted from:More Than Sex: The Secrets of Bill and Hillary Clinton Revealed byArkansasState TrooperNewsMax.comSeptember 14, 1999Washington - An Arkansas State Trooper who once guarded Bill Clintonhasrevealed startling new information about Bill and Hillary RodhamClinton.Trooper Larry Patterson, a recently retired 32-year veteran of thestate police,had been the most senior member of the elite Governor’s SecurityDetail duringthe period Bill Clinton served as Governor. During that time,Patterson becameprivy to Bill and Hillary Clinton’s most closely guarded secrets.Patterson toldhis story exclusively to NewsMax.com and Internet Vortex.NewsMax.com haspublished More than Sex: The Secrets of Bill and Hillary ClintonRevealed — atwo-hour audio cassette tape of Christopher Ruddy’s interview withTrooper LarryPatterson. In More than Sex Patterson makes bombshell revelations,some of whichhave never been disclosed before:Organized Crime. The press has ignored reporting of this criticalissue, butPatterson says Clinton had a close relationship with the head of theDixieMafia—Arkansas’ homegrown organized crime family that has grown inrecent yearsthrough drug trafficking. Patterson said Clinton regularly receivedgifts fromthe reputed mob boss.Ethnic Slurs about Jews. Both Hillary and Bill Clinton frequentlyused slursduring heated arguments with each other, Patterson said. Among theepithets theyfrequently hurled at each other were anti-Semitic slurs suchas ‘mother f---in’Jew’ or ‘Jew bastard’. Patterson said such references were heardfrequentlyduring the years he served the Clintons. Patterson said Clintonloved tellingethnic jokes and frequently told jokes that were anti-Semitic.The use of the “N” word.

She wants to be President.Therefore,she will say anything to any particular Group that will lend itselftoobtaining that set objective. She strategically chose the upcomingSenatorial race in New York as the first stepping stone towardsreachingher presidential goal. However, New York has an important Jewishvote andthat is a hurdle that she must leap over and “handle”.The difficulty for Hillary is that she has never been a friend ofIsrael.She has publicly come out for a Palestinian State, which as asophisticatedand smart lady she knows would threaten Israel’s very existence.She verywell knows that hatred of Jews and Israel even now is an essentialpart ofArafat’s educational system; moreover, Arafat’s hate propaganda inhisMedia includes praise of the bomb makers who specialize in blowing upIsrael’s buses. Yet she has never leveled one word of criticismagainstArafat in that or any other regard, or for that matter against anyArab.Her Arab guest list at the White House has included American Arableaderswho are sympathetic to and support terrorist Hamas. She could findnothingabout Israel to publicly admire throughout the many years that shehas beenin the White House.But to garner the Jewish vote in New York she has to appear to tonedownher bias in favor of the Arabs, and make some Jewish “gestures”.She nowlets out of the family closet the inconsequential news that hergrandmother’s second husband was a Jew. And of course for these NewYorkvoters, she is making the proscribed visit to Israel. After allthese yearsshe suddenly awakened to recognize the status of Jerusalem; sherecentlytold the Jews that Jerusalem is Israel’s eternal capital; however,she isnot in favor of moving the U.S. Embassy to that capital. In that sheisconsistent with her husband who broke his previous campaign promisetomove it. Her track record insures that she too will not keepwhateverpromises she makes to the Jews in order to get into the Senate. Ifelected, she would be the most pro-Arab Senator New York has everhad.Unmasked, Hillary Clinton has proven herself again and again to havelittlesympathy and understanding for Israel and the Jewish People.Don’t befooled by the Jewish “appointees” of her husband. Albright, Bergerand thelike are Jews in name only, who lack loyalty to the Jewish People.Norshould you be “taken in” by her deceptive sweet talk. Hillary’svisit toIsrael is just part and parcel of her New York campaign.Ruth and Nadia Matarsource: http://www.womeningreen.org/saynov99.htmnote re the piece above from Ruth and Nadia Matar of Women in Greenhttp://www.womeningreen.org/Madeline Albright actually APOLOGIZED to Bill Clinton for notknowing that 3 outof 4 of her grandparents were Jewish. Her family had converted toRomanCatholicism, the faith Albright was raised in. Another convert wholeft Judaismhimself was Defense Secretary Cohen. Reportedly upset that he couldnot gothrough the Jewish Bar Mitzvah ceremony, which marks adulthood atage 13, unlesshe converted to Judaism, as Judaism is matrilineal, and Cohen’smother was notJewish, Cohen decided to leave Judaism altogether. As Clinton’sdefensesecretary he would provide arms to Egypt.Billions In U.S. Arms To EgyptCAIRO, Egypt March 3rd, 1999QUOTE “We are, of course, eager to be of assistance.”DefenseSecretary WilliamCohen(CBS) The United States on Thursday proposed to sell Egypt $3.2billion worth ofnew American weapons, including 24 F-16 fighter jets, 200 M-1A1tanks and 32Patriot missiles.U.S. Defence Secretary William Cohen announced the proposition,which is likelyto be approved by Congress, after separate talks with PresidentHosni Mubarakand Defense Minister Mohamed Hussein Tantawi in Cairo.It was the latest of several arms offers by Cohen to U.S. Araballies on anine-nation trip to the Gulf and Middle East.The 24 F-16 fighters, made by Lockheed Martin, would cost $1.2billion and wouldincrease a force of 196 F-16s already in Egypt’s airforce.The battery of Patriot-3 missiles, which would cost $1.3 billion,consists ofeight firing units, each containing four missiles, made by Raytheon.The 200 tanks, costing nearly $700 million, would be assembled inEgypt and addto 555 such tanks it already has.Cohen told reporters traveling with him that Egypt would “feelinsulted” if itsrequest for the weapons were denied and might then turn to otherarms suppliers.”If they were to make a request to the United States and we were tosay, ‘I’msorry, we are not going to provide you with any modernizedequipment,’ I thinkthey would take that as an insult,” Cohen said.”There are many potential (arms) suppliers—Russian, Chinese, French,British andothers—that seek to fulfill their requests. I think that they wouldlook veryskeptically upon our friendship and very strong partnership if wewere to say‘I’m sorry, we have made a decision that is superior to yourdecision. You don’tneed this and you shouldn’t have it’.”Cohen said the United States believed that a strong militaryrelationshipsupported a strong political and diplomatic relationship that buildspeace andstability in the region.Egypt, one of Washington’s strongest allies in the Arab world, wouldreceive the”Block 40” model of the F-16, the most advanced version of theworld’s mostpopular attack jet.Cohen said Egypt would pay for the arms from the $1.2 billion a yearit gets inU.S. military aid. The Pentagon approved the sales in principle butno deal hasbeen signed.The United States has in the past sold Cairo a wide range ofweaponry, includingsurplus naval destroyers.Cohen, who flew later to Israel for talks on regional securityissues on thefinal stop of a busy trip, earlier offered “AMRAAM” advanced medium-rangeair-to-air missiles to Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.The United Arab Emirates is currently planning to buy 80 of theearlier “Block60” F-16s for $6 billion and a package of AMRAAM and other air-to-air missilesfor another $2 billion.At an earlier news conference in Cairo, Cohen denied that the U.S.was fuellingan arms race in the Middle East, but said Washington remained readyto help itsallies in the region in response to legitimate requests for militarymodernization.”We are, of course, eager to be of assistance,” he said.Officials said after the announcement that the exact purchase pricesand thetiming of delivery are still being worked out.source:http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/1999/03/11/world/main38379.shtmlBLACK LIBERATION ARMYAliases: Afro-American Liberation ArmyBase of Operation: United StatesFounding Philosophy: The Black Liberation Army was a militantsplinter group ofthe Black Panther Party.
