Quick Recap

Feb 17

Posted by Marlena in NWO | 2 Comments

Dearest readers, I’m sorry for the unexplained hiatus, which needs remain unexplained. I will try to be back now. Everything is well. As a matter of fact, I am certain that everything will work out. Yes we will go through some bad times, but the evil have already lost, and they know it. We are in mop-up operations. It’s a mess, a filthy mess. We shall be covered in shit before it’s over, but we will survive it.

The most important thing for Americans to do right now is support each other and connect with each other, and to escape the clutches of fear. Refuse to be terrified. Just say no. Terror is the name of the game: financial terrorism, false flag terrorism, NWO terrorism. When we are terrified, they gain ground. When we are steadfast, they get terrified. So let’s put the terror in it’s place.

If you haven’t done it already, get to know your neighbors. Smooth over any remaining ruffled feathers caused by the great divider, GWB. Move past it as much as possible. It’s clear now to more and more people that there is an Us, and there is a Them, and it’s not Democrats and Republicans. It’s Those Who Want People to Suffer against Those Who Want Peace and Prosperity. So pick your side and get on it, and stay there no matter what. Let your mind escape the Hegelian dialectic. The direction that supports Those Who Want Peace and Prosperity is toward local centers of power. World government is a trap. I’m guessing we have about two months until things go really haywire, though admittedly, that is just a guess pulled out of my arse. Well, that’s it for now. I am way behind on processing news, but I will try to resume regular posting as quickly as possible.

The real reason Iran has to have the imaginary nuclear weapons

Feb 13

Posted by Marlena in Iran, Israel, Nuclear Weapons | 9 Comments

This probably is not considered “newsworthy” by the corporate media, but people should know that US intelligence has confirmed the findings of the 2007 NIE: Iran has no nuclear weapons program.

Dennis Blair told the Senate Intelligence Committee that his organization has assessed that Tehran does not have nuclear weapons design and weaponization work….The UN nuclear watchdog, which has carried out the highest number of inspections in its history on Iranian nuclear sites, has also found nothing to indicate that the program has diverted toward weaponization….The US official added that the intelligence agency believes Iran is unlikely to be able to produce enough enriched uranium for a nuclear weapon before 2013.

Therefore, it would be the gravest mistake to allow an attack on Iran, which would in all likelihood trigger WW III, for a problem that does not exist.

We have no emergency with Iran. None. Who keeps banging this drum? Israel. Who else. But of the three stooges currently vying for power there, Netanyahu and Lieberman have pushed the nuclear Iran canard harder than Livni. Here is Bibi before Davos, standing truth on its head.

Mr Netanyahu said that despite all its intractable problems, the financial and economic crisis would ultimately prove reversible and be beaten by governments and central banks. [I doubt it.]

But in an ominous alert to world leaders, he said: “What is not reversible is the acquisition of nuclear weapons by a fanatic radical regime committed to a pre-medieval view of the world. [Describing Israel to a T.]

“We have never had, since the dawn of the nuclear age, nuclear weapons in the hands of such a fanatical regime.” [No shit.]

Avigdor Lieberman is possibly even worse, if that can be imagined.

In private Lieberman is said to have urged that Tehran be levelled if Iran goes ahead with its nuclear weapons programme. In public he told listeners to Israel Radio’s Persian service: “You will pay a high price. You, the good Iranian citizens, will pay for your leaders’ actions.”

The interesting thing about these ifs, whens and buts is how they connect to the supposed peace process. The logic goes like this: IF Tehran develops a nuclear weapons program, THEN a) Iran will be flattened because we cannot allow a fanatical regime to have these weapons, and b) efforts to secure Middle East peace would be scuppered.

Well, let’s think about this. First of all, Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program. So there’s that. In a normal world that deals with facts and behaves rationally, the conversation would be over by now. But we don’t live there, so we continue past the threats to focus on the “peace process.”

Insisting that he [Netanyahu] wanted to “move rapidly to advance a workable peace”, with moderates in the Palestinian Authority and to “drive down the radicals”, the former Israeli finance minister went on: “All of this will fall by the wayside if the world fails to stop Iran from arming itself with nuclear weapons.

He’s setting the expectation that “the world” must stop Iran from procuring nuclear weapons. Otherwise, Israel will stop moving toward peace with the Palestinians.

Well, gee whiz. “The world” has determined that Iran does not have a nuclear weapons program, so therefore, Israel can now make peace with the Palestinians. Right? Is that not the logic that follows from Bibi’s statement? What’s the problem?

The problem is that Israel never wants peace with the Palestinians. Never ever ever, unless the Palestinians have all been killed or otherwise disposed of from the land that Israel covets. But nobody can come out and say this, because that would be anti-Semitic or something, to ascribe such dastardly motives to the Israelis, even though Zionists have been making genocidal comments about the Palestinians for decades upon decades. It’s just rude to notice. This whole cock-up with Iran simply provides cover for Israel to continue its murderous policies toward the Palestinians. That’s all it is.

You can see it in the articles about the political gridlock, this constant referring back to the peace process that doesn’t exist, and how the imaginary peace process will fall apart if the imaginary nuclear weapons that Iran doesn’t have don’t disappear. These people are completely fucking nuts, and yet this all gets discussed over and over again as if it were reality.

Israel braced on Friday for weeks of political uncertainty and a paralysed Middle East peace process after final results confirmed the Kadima party narrowly won the election but suggested Likud is better placed to form a government.

WHAT PEACE PROCESS??!!?? THERE IS NO PEACE PROCESS. ISRAEL DOES NOT WANT PEACE. ISRAEL JUST FINISHED MURDERING 1300 PALESTINIANS AFTER SIX MONTHS OF PREMEDITATION.

So backing up, if Israel wants to avoid peace, then “the world” must fail to stop Iran from arming itself with nuclear weapons, and therefore any information about the fact that Iran has no nuclear weapons program must be studiously ignored. Because that information ruins everything. And that’s why Americans must not learn about Dennis Blair’s testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee. Furthermore, you can tell that Israel wants to avoid peace (if by any chance you weren’t convinced by their actions) just because they refuse to embrace this information. After all, by Bibi’s logic, this news should allow Israel to “move rapidly” toward a lasting and workable peace with the Palestinians. Instead, we will get months of foot-dragging and stalling with the new, gridlocked Israeli government. Hopefully, we won’t get WW III.

By their fruits shall ye know them.

A reader sends this timing note:

“I don´t know if anybody follows this, but there is something called the “Economic Pi Cycle” which was developed by Martin Armstrong. The predictions based on this model were astonishing.

The last time I “used” it was “2007.15″ (02/27/07). Two weeks before that date, I sold everything … accumulated Gold and fled into German Bunds. Everybody thought I was nuts (I might have been.) My wife thought I was nuts, but since my investment decisions had brought us double digit returns every year she let me do. In the 02.27.2007 … the full day nothing really happened and I went to bed at about 21:30 thinking that I really had gone mad. Next morning I read the newspaper and read that Asian Stock markets had collapsed … Greenspan had just said that the US was going to enter a recession … and the first bank did a first massive write off. You can´t imagine how shocked I was.

The intersting thing about telling this, is that the next day in the model is approaching. The model is very similar to the elliot wave theory, only it is based on a much wider time frame and has a multitude of waves operating simultaneously. The next date is 2009.3 which equates to 04.23.2009. According to the model something is going to collapse .. the collapse will be monumental … it is one of these things where we do not know what .. but when and in which direction … Confidence of the next 3 years is going to be shattered to levels unknown to our generation.

Make what you want of it ….”

I too am a fan of Armstrong’s work. As I read it, he’s such a dangerously accurate guy in his work that he ended up being locked up for seven years on contempt charges and after the government finally got a guilty plea out of him in 2007, gave him 5-years, so he will be out in either 2011 or 2012, not sure how the ‘good behavior’ thing works with the federal corrections system.

Another nail-biter election. What is up with that? This AP story says that no matter who comes out on top, the political wrangling will go on for weeks. In my book, a positive development. That gives the world time to let the dust settle in Gaza. Maybe the Hague will be able to investigate all those war crimes committed against the Palestinians. Despite all the evidence, this issue has been stalled because of the legal definitions of statehood, but the next few weeks could be enough to iron that out. If so, the war crimes charges would keep Israel off-balance.

The issue has raised the question of whether Palestinian officials hope to obtain an implicit recognition of statehood through the court.

The court “will not use the term statehood,” said a legal expert close to the case who asked not to be named because the issue was still being decided. “The court will avoid defining whether Palestine is a state. The decision will be only if Palestine can be admitted for the purposes of the court statute.”

The Palestinian officials visiting The Hague in coming days are expected to try to demonstrate that they have been allowed to sign other international treaties and conventions and can therefore be accepted as a party to the 1998 Rome Treaty that founded the court.

Uncertainty in the Israeli elections also allows some breathing room for US negotiations with Iran. And it allows our economic situation to deteriorate in the comfort of our own living rooms. Silver linings, people. Silver linings. A few weeks is an eternity in the present time-warp we live in.

Take one hit, next thing you know you’re a thought crime addict

First, a short story from some nice Catholic guy:

As the 9/11 attack was happening, it occurred to me that the attack had to do with what was happening in the Middle East and it was time to learn what was happening there. I was behooved to work through my conditioned barrier of not wanting to look into the matter because it was much too complex to understand and find out for myself what was going on.I learned that the Palestinians were being kicked off their land so that Jews from anywhere in the world could live there. I attended a Middle East committee meeting and said that I didn’t think this was fair, that it didn’t matter what happened in the past to the Jews, that two wrongs don’t make a right, etc. After that meeting, I was considered anti-Semitic by the experts that apply the label: the Jews that attended that meeting. Thereafter I was treated coolly by everyone associated with the parent anti-war organization. Word had gotten around.

Holy cow! I never would’ve imagined myself being considered anti-Semitic: [growing up] an altruistic Catholic boy who defended little kids every day on the playground from older bullies, the exemplary server boy, the choir boy, the kid that the nuns and teachers considered a role model for others.

But there I was. An anti-Semitic, for being concerned for justice and equal rights for the Palestinians. Little did I know that being labeled anti-Semitic was so easy. It is so easy. In fact here’s the formula: You become aware that Jews are responsible for doing something unfair, like kicking Palestinians off their land so that Jews from anywhere in the world can live there and, boom, you’re instantly anti-Semitic! You don’t even have to complain about it. The labelers just have to know you know about it. It is that easy.

Yes. And lest you think this can only happen to some regular guy with a regular job, who quickly goes from being Joe the Landscaper to that asshole anti-Semite at the bar, let me tell you this can happen to anyone! No family is immune from the scourge of thought crime. Just a few minutes on the internet and you can be lost forever to this merciless drug called Free Thought. Just Say NO, dammit!

According to World Jewish leaders, who are the self-appointed authorities on such matters, we are experiencing a world epidemic of thought crimes. This drug is destroying everything in its path. Though it’s not clear exactly who asked World Jewish leaders to fight the scourge of thought crimes, they have selflessly taken on the thankless job. For one of their first sorties in the War on Free Thought, it looks like they will make an example of that disgusting addict, Bishop Williamson, by executing his career and reputation. Hopefully this will deter others from his sad fate.

World Jewish leaders told Vatican officials that denying the Holocaust was “not an opinion but a crime” when they met on Monday to discuss a bishop they accuse of being anti-Semitic. The meetings, the first since the controversy over Bishop Richard Williamson, who denies the extent of the Holocaust, began last month, took place three days before Pope Benedict is due to address a group of American Jewish leaders.

Williamson told Swedish television in an interview broadcast in January: “I believe there were no gas chambers.” He said no more than 300,000 Jews perished in Nazi concentration camps, rather than the 6 million accepted by most historians

You see? Any deviation what-so-ever from the officially sanctioned Holocaust narrative is a thought crime. Bishop Richard Williamson’s mealy-mouthed excuse that he didn’t actually inhale does not cut the mustard. He’s an addict, and everybody knows it. He smoked the Thought Pipe.

“Today we strongly reaffirmed that the denial of the Shoah is not an opinion, but a crime,” said Richard Prasquier, president of the French Jewish umbrella organization CRIF, using the Hebrew word for Holocaust.

Such a disgrace.

Prasquier and Maram Stern, deputy secretary of the World Jewish Congress (WJC), held talks with Cardinal Walter Kasper, head of the Vatican office that handles religious relations with Jews.

“We want the Vatican to realize that by accommodating anti-Semites like Williamson, the achievements of four decades of Catholic-Jewish dialogue … will be put into doubt,” WJC President Ronald Lauder said in a statement.

And now Bishop Williamson has been transformed into an anti-Semite. Just like that. He has lost all respectability. Do you see that this one gentleman has single-handedly unraveled four decades of achievements with his foolish experimenting? This drug is very, very powerful. What a shame. He looked to have a promising career, but not anymore.

“We now believe that our message has been understood. The controversial debate of the past three weeks has had a positive impact,” said Lauder, who did not attend the meetings.

Catholic-Jewish relations have been extremely tense since January 24, when Benedict lifted excommunications of four renegade traditionalist bishops, including Williamson, in an attempt to heal a schism that began in 1988 when they were ordained without Vatican permission.

Among those who have condemned Williamson and the pope’s decision are Holocaust survivors, progressive Catholics, U.S. legislators, Israeli leaders, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and Jewish writer and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel.

Here are the people who understand the dangers posed by this drug. Holocaust survivors. Progressive Catholics. US legislators. Israeli leaders. German Chancellor Angela Merkel. And Elie Wiesel. You won’t find these people in some Truth Crack House, conducting research on the interwebs like some filthy junkies.

A Church source said Israel’s Chief Rabbinate, which had pulled out of dialogue, has decided to resume talks and will come to the Vatican either in late February or mid-March.

The Vatican has ordered Williamson to publicly recant his position. Over the weekend, traditionalist leaders said he had been removed as head of a seminary in Argentina.

Germany’s Spiegel magazine on Saturday quoted Williamson as saying he first had to review historical evidence on the Holocaust before considering an apology to Jews.

“I ask everyone to believe me that I did not deliberately say something false. I was, on the basis of my research in the 1980s, convinced of the accuracy of my comments. Now I must examine everything again and look at the evidence,” he said.

Williamson failed in a bid on Monday to get an injunction from a German court on the broadcasting of his views on television and the internet.

“There are no valid infringements of his rights,” said the Nuremberg-Fuerth court in southern Germany.

Williamson is part of the ultra-traditionalist Society of St Pius X (SSPX), which does not accept all the teachings of the 1962-1965 Second Vatican Council. It repudiated the concept of collective Jewish guilt for Christ’s death and urged dialogue with other religions.

The Vatican has said the SSPX must accept all Council teachings before they can be fully re-admitted into the Church.

He got what he deserved. Let that be a lesson to you.

To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.

If only we could. Nonetheless, some people have displayed a track record for predicting things that have come to pass, in some cases years in advance. And based on what they have said, it seems for real that the current financial system is going to be destroyed. If not, some things would have to happen. The banks would be forced to write off their betting slips as being worth Zero. Zero. They are worthless, and as pointed out by Chuck Simpson, totally contrary to public policy. Consumer debt would be restructured to reflect real property values. The banks would take the hits and close if they must. The rule of law would be reinforced. And yet none of this will happen. On the contrary, the opposite of this is happening. As best I can tell, we are guaranteed hyperinflation and the destruction of the US dollar in the near future.

And why is this happening? For one thing, it’s because we have no rule of law. The rule of law is a joke. The people who have been running this country and vast swaths of the world for many years do not ever, ever worry about the rule of law until they get entangled in it. And at that precise moment, the rule of law that they trampled over for years becomes The Rule of Law, and they avail themselves of absolutely every single opening in The Rule of Law that might help them squeeze out of trouble. And who can say anything about it? After all, we who always cry about enforcing the rule of law cannot complain when the criminals avail themselves of The Rule of Law, can we? Of course not. So most of them get away, one way or another. And since there have been no really huge arrests to speak of, and no really dreadful, mind-boggling evidence of corruption, which would stop them in their tracks, made public (meaning on teevee of course, since hardly anybody reads and the interwebs are safely ignored, being full of kooky conspiracy theorists), the entire world-wide Ponzi scheme continues to ooze forward inexorably toward the edge of the White Cliffs of Dover, where it will slide over the edge like a giant blob under the forces of gravity and physics, and it will all be over very quickly thereafter. This much seems certain now.

But what happens after that? Do we go directly into the New World Order? Do we have the chaos and martial law and all that stuff we’ve been dreading lo these many years? Or is there something else planned for us? I don’t know. Meanwhile, tomorrow the mentally-ill Israelis will in all liklihood elect Bibi so that they can feel “secure” in their persons. It feels like today marks something. Whether it’s the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end, I can’t really tell. But it seems certain that as of tomorrow, we will enter a new phase during which the irrevocable decisions made up to now will play out, perhaps like dominoes.

Forward the damn email….OR ELSE!

From my email…(this deeply disturbing picture was obviously not included)

In MEMORIAM - 63 YEARS LATER

Please read the little cartoon carefully, it’s powerful. Then read the comments at the end. [The cartoon was stripped by my email software. Oh dear. I can just imagine.]

I’m doing my small part by forwarding this message. I hope you’ll consider doing the same. [What? Am I supposed to feel guilty already? I haven't even read the damn thing yet.]

In Memoriam

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended. [And the Nakba. Don't forget the Nakba. That was 60 years ago, too.] This e-mail is being sent as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, [Oh really? The number on the plaque at Auschwitz is 1.5 million.] 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests [Whatevs!! Please just notice the first item on the list.] who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated with the German and Russian Peoples looking the other way! [Yes, of course. The German and Russian people must be demonized, always and forever, world without end. It matters not that they themselves were suffering the depredations of war and starvation. They should have done something, just like we Americans have done so much to stop the suffering of the Iraqis and Afghanis and Palestinians. And Darfur. Right? Here we are, living in the most prosperous country in the world, not suffering the privations of war, and we have done WHAT, exactly, for these people? Oh that's right. We haven't done a damn thing except Look The Other Way, just like those damn Germans and Russians. Oopsie.]

Now, more than ever, with Iraq, Iran, and others, [How mysterious. What others? Do you mean like the Israelis slaughtering the Palestinians in a vicious display of genocide? That one???] claiming the Holocaust to be ‘a myth,’ [Just stay away from reading that plaque or doing any independent research, please, thanks, love ya.] it’s imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because there are others who would like to do it again. [Who shall remain nameless under the witness protection program of history, also known as corporate media.]

This e-mail is intended to reach 40 million people worldwide! [Why's that? Is it for the 40 years in the desert? The 40 days of Lent? What's the symbolic value of 40 million? Is it just a big-ass round number to throw around to shut up all those Holocaust (TM) Deniars? "Oh yeah? Well we organized 40 million people around the world to pass on our email chain! So there!"]

Join us and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world.

Please send this e-mail to 10 people you know and ask them to continue thememorial chain.
Please don’t just delete it. [Oh! Oopsie! Too late.]

It will a only take you a minute to pass this along. Thanks! [Wrong number. Click.]

“No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.” [That's a scriptural neener neener neener.]


I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. Revelations 3:9 [And so is this.]

Dedication to the Truth At All Costs

Feb 6

Posted by Marlena in Injustice, Israel, Language & Meaning, Religion | 6 Comments

People squeal and screech when other people have the nerve to resist their sacred narratives. But there is one, and only one, question that must be answered in the face of these outbursts: IS IT TRUE? Naturally, this annoying insistence on the truth only makes the squealing and screeching louder.

Truth comes before justice. We will not have any justice until we have the truth, so digging out and exposing the truth must be the primary concern for all those who claim to want peace and justice.

Here George Galloway outlines the TRUTH that Britian had no right to give the Palestinian’s land to the Jews. He then goes on to answer another caller, who hangs the entire rationalization for Britian creating the State of Israel on the Holocaust. George Galloway then gives a little history lesson in which the Holocaust is blamed on the anti-Semitism of the Christian world. So the Muslims are now being punished for the crimes of the Christians, which is TRUE.

Which is all well and good, I suppose, as long as you stick to the Holocaust narrative, which George Galloway does, because then you can lay the blame for everything on Christians, and that keeps them in their place. But now, here we have this tremendous stink over the Holocaust narrative. This is quite a disaster because, you see, if that story falls apart, then the entire construct of the modern world (who is “good” and who is “bad” and who “deserves” what) comes unglued.

This explains why the Pope’s decision to reinstate Bishop Williamson is so very upsetting to World Jewry, as most wonderfully explained by Truth is Beauty. WHY is it so dangerous to question the Holocaust? WHY does it generate such screeching and squealing?

 

On Jan. 28, the pope said he felt “full and indisputable solidarity” with Jews, and warned against any denial of the full horror of the Nazi genocide.

Bishop Williamson, in order to be admitted to episcopal functions within the church, will have to take his distance, in an absolutely unequivocal and public fashion, from his position on the Shoah, which the Holy Father was not aware of when the excommunication was lifted,” the statement said. The Shoah is the Hebrew term for the Holocaust.

Jewish groups welcomed the Vatican statement, saying it satisfied their key demand.

“This was the sign the Jewish world has been waiting for,” said Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress.

 

Yes, this is the sign the Jewish world has been waiting for, but what exactly does this “sign” really mean? It means that in the post-Vatican II Church, the “Shoah” has replaced the Crucifixion as the central event in history. And do you notice the subtle switcheroo here? Now, instead of the central tenet of the Christian faith pertaining to the murder of the Christ by Jews, the new central tenet refers to the murder of Jews by Christians! This should come as no surprise to those who understand what really lies at the heart of the problem. At its core, this is a spiritual battle that’s being waged above our heads. It’s Christ vs. anti-Christ, and each of us must choose a side.

Aha. The Christians must remain the villians, a la the Holocaust, because the organization of modern world hangs on this very assumption. If the Holocaust did not happen as we were told, and to take it a step further, if Christians actually have some legitimate grievances against “The Jews,” then the whole thing unravels like a cheap sweater, doesn’t it. And we can’t have that.

The Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) appears to be the group of Catholics willing to go “all the way,” as it were, with the TRUTH. So you will hear lots of screeching and squealing about them. But for anyone who claims to want peace and justice, first we must have the TRUTH. And the TRUTH would be based on FACTS. So rather than making a big noise about what they say, let us ascertain the FACTS of these various matters and ask, IS IT TRUE?

For example, let us determine the answers to these questions, just for starters:

  • IS IT TRUE that the gas chambers cannot be proven?
  • IS IT TRUE that the six million cannot be proven?
  • IS IT TRUE that the Talmud is a vile and racist document specifically allowing for the abuse, cheating, and murder of Christians and all non-Jews?
  • IS IT TRUE that Freemasonry is Jewish?
  • IS IT TRUE that the Mossad and Israeli dual-nationals have infiltrated all levels of the US government?
  • IS IT TRUE that the Federal Reserve is owned by Jewish families?

And so on and so forth. The hysteria surrounding all these questions is beside the point. The hysteria exists precisely because if these things are TRUE, then JUSTICE would demand dismantling many precious narratives, and the State of Israel, and the fiat banking system, and…well…you see the problem. There’s quite a lot at stake.

Congress really took care of that clown, eh?

Remember Efraim Diveroli? In case you forgot, he’s the young twenty-something kid who landed a $300 million contract with the Pentagon, selling 50 year old ammunition from China to Afghanistan, for instance, which is totally illegal? He also sold the ammunition that exploded in Tirana, Albania on 3/15/08, killing 26 people and injuring hundreds, which is totally murderous.

He was called to testify on April 17, 2008 before Henry Waxman and the House Oversight Committee, because when all this came about and was reported in the New York Times, people wanted answers. And I’m sure you thought, that since our Congress had been made aware of the problem, that it would now be addressed and people held accountable, and so forth and so on. Right? Oh ha ha ha HA!

Three men were arrested for mass murder in what local media dubbed “Albania’s Hiroshima.” Two of them were alleged accomplices to a 23-year-old Miami Beach-based arms dealer named Efraim Diveroli, who faces trial later this year on 83 counts of fraud and conspiracy for procuring Chinese-made ammo in Albania and selling it to the Pentagon.

The charges might be difficult to prove, though. A potential lead witness in the case, Kosta Trebicka, mysteriously died in September. His body was found bloodied and sprawled across a dirt road in eastern Albania, some 50 yards from his slightly dented SUV. Trebicka had recorded a tape (now available on YouTube) in which Diveroli said corruption in that country “went up… to the prime minister and his son.”

Last week, Miami federal prosecutors retreated, allowing the return of $4.2 million of Diveroli’s property — including a new Mercedes S550 — that had been confiscated. Perhaps even more significant, Diveroli is out on bail and a Miami Beach company he owns called Ammoworks might even now be selling ammunition to the American government. This fact has been largely overlooked by prosecutors and Congress.

What can we say? Obviously, this is just one example of the reeking corruption that passes for a Federal Government in the United States. The CIA and Mossad evidently do whatever the hell they please, and Congress does NOTHING to stop them. And truly, how can they? They’ve all been compromised and entrapped by the NSA and prostitutes and illegal bribes to Cayman Island bank accounts and tax cheating and Bohemian Grove rituals and God only knows what other unspeakable crimes. They can’t say a thing. The crazies have been set loose, and they run amok in the world wrecking havoc and bringing death and destruction wherever they go. But it’s rude to notice, and even worse, somebody might call you a bad name.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that

I have not been able to confirm this little gem of a quote from Israeli 10th TV channel, but it has the ring of truth, like the soap scum around a dirty bathtub.

“Another Israeli spokeswoman, Tzipora Menache, stated that she was not worried about negative ramifications the Israeli onslaught on Gaza might have on the way the Obama administration would view Israel. She said ‘You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they (Americans) do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can’t criticize Israel.”Commenting on the latest Israeli one-directional onslaught against the Palestinians of Gaza Strip, the Israeli 10th TV channel has disclosed that the Israeli genocidal forces had used half of its air force and had launched at least 2500 air raids against Gaza Strip.

I’m sure Abe Foxman and other apologists would tell us that there’s nothing wrong, per se, with Israel controlling American media, our congress, show biz and basically everything here; but, again, as with Olmert, it’s a mistake to talk about it.

If that doesn’t make you spit nails, you really are a boot-licker.
