what’s up down below?

So here’s another thing to keep an eye on: Antartica. And I’ll tell you why.

First of all, it’s a damn tourist trap.

Tourism in Antarctica has grown dramatically. In 1985, just a few thousand people visited the area but in the season 2007/2008 more than 40,000 did the same. A number of parties are concerned about the effects of this rapid growth with respect to safety, the environment, the scale of tourism and the lack of financial resources for monitoring and enforcement purposes….Antarctica is not a sovereign state and so legislation is difficult….One possible solution is that of marketable visitor rights, as is already used in the climate policy by means of trading in CO2 emission rights. First of all a maximum annual number of tourist days in Antarctica will be set. To ensure a smooth transition, this maximum will be set higher than the actual number of tourists days used. As soon as the demand for holiday days in Antarctica is higher than the maximum, the rights to the days will have a certain value.

By awarding the rights to the ATS, the income can be used, for example, for monitoring and enforcement purposes, issues for which there is little money at present. The visitor rights will be auctioned: sold to the highest bidder. Then the buyers are free to trade the rights further. This will ensure that the available ’space’ in tourist days will be used for the most profitable forms of tourism. This system of marketable visitor rights could allow three objectives to be realised: the scale of tourism and with this its effects will be limited, an urgently desired new source of funding will become available for monitoring and enforcement, and the tourism trade in the Antarctic area will remain financially healthy.

Sorry, I probably should have warned you about this think tank, The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) [wink wink wink], which “funds thousands of top researchers at universities and institutes and steers the course of Dutch science by means of subsidies and research programmes.” Here’s the URL: http://www.nwo.nl/nwohome.nsf/pages/NWOA_7HUDR7_Eng

Not long after the Dutch think-tank birthed the above marketing racket to ensure “the most profitable forms of tourism,” the Dutch crown prince visited Antarctica.

Crown Prince Willem Alexander of the Netherlands and his wife Princess Maxima of Orange will visit British Antarctic Survey’s (BAS) Rothera Research Station from 6-10 February 2009. The fact-finding visit celebrates a partnership between BAS and Dutch scientists. …The Royal couple will be accompanied by Dr RHA Plasterk, minister of Science and Education of The Netherlands and Prof. J Engelen, Chairman to the board of Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). The Royal visit takes place in the closing stages of the international Polar Year (IPY). The Royal couple will have an opportunity to experience first-hand what it is like to live and work in Antarctica.

Whatever do they need an opportunity like that for? Are they planning on living there or something? Certainly they don’t need to work. Well, here’s the URL and you can even click through to the royal website from there: http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/about_bas/news/news_story.php?id=738

Antartica came up four times this week that I noticed. First, did you hear about the whisky company that wants to drill through the ice to recover a case of 100 year old McKinlay and Co Whiskey shipped by Shackleton and found frozen under the Nimrod Exhibition hut near Cape Royds?

Then we have the 10,000 species of viruses frozen in Antartica’s freshwater lakes, double the diversity found anyplace else.

Next we have a Russian ship with 200 people on board, en route to see Emperor Penguins, which became stuck in ice so they had to wait it out and “conduct extra tourism,” no doubt with ice cold vodka.

And finally the Chinese supply ship, Snow Dragon, with more than 170 scientists and crew aboard, left a research facility on Antarctica to do a 2,300 ton supply run.

Busy busy busy down there. You know I just find that suspicious. It’s true I find lots of things suspicious but you know, as they say in Russia, it’s not for nothing. It’s not for nothing that all those scientists keep hanging around Antartica for decades. It’s not for nothing that the Dutch royals visited to see what it might be like to live there. It’s not for nothing that ships go in and out of there with tons of supplies. It’s not for nothing. It never is.

Here’s somebody’s weed-inspired idea of what might be going on at the South Pole.

So what if the center of Antarctica is a paradise controlled by some New World Order group. It’s a tropical utopia full of precious gems and expensive metals that, while providing the NWO with a super exclusive getaway, also gives them enough money to basically own the world. They’ve developed machines for extracting their natural treasures so no lesser individuals would ever have the ability to talk about it. Also if anyone ever did find out about it, they would probably be killed. The NWO group controls all satellite imagery and travel to and from Antarctica to make sure no one ever gets a glimpse of their paradise. Tourist adventures and scientists only go so far into Antarctica, never to the extreme middle. Since they are also involved in the government, they can control the release of information and scientific study on the continent.

One might say that “it’s not possible, everyone knows the further you get away from the equator, the colder it gets… theres no paradise in the Arctic circle.” True you are, however what if the NWO group has reversed the polarity of this particular spot in Antarctica, thereby reversing the weather and creating this paradise. In much the same way that Tesla was able to produce human-induced earthquakes (on a smaller scale), there is certainly a way to develop human-induced weather (farmers release chemicals into the air to create rain above their farms).

With all of this technology and with the extreme little the public actually knows about the remote and uninhabited continent of Antarctica, it is very possible that anything could be happening there and we wouldn’t know about it.

No we wouldn’t. But watching these people is like following Hansel and Gretel to the witch’s cabin in the woods. In their mirth, they leave a trail of bread crumbs behind them.

Architecture plays a role in how we perceive the world. As does art. You could say that public art and architecture set the stage. Or maybe it’s a table. Or maybe an altar.

Architectural exhibits in Millennium Park designed by London-based Zaha Hadid and Amsterdam-based Ben van Berkel of UNStudio emphasize the importance of boldly imagining a better future for all. Both are intended to echo the audacity of the 1909 Burnham Plan, which proclaimed, “What we as a people decide to do in the public interest we can and surely will bring to pass.”

Architecture for the rich is booming business, especially in Asia. Evidently wealth has been flowing to Asia for years.

Tucked away from the noisy, choked traffic on Sukhumvit Road near Ekamai, Mr Bensley’s office is flooded with work commissioned by kings, governments and tycoons. He says there has been no slowdown since he set up shop here [Thailand] 20 years ago. From the 1997 Asian crisis through to the collapse of Wall Street last year, there has not been a minute of stoppage at his shop. “In fact, the opposite is true,” says the towering figure.

Important new art comes onto the world scene regularly, like this week even.

Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present two important sculptures by Richard Serra. Related in both form and scale, Blind Spot (2002-2003) and Open Ended (2007-2008) entail similar concentric structures, each consisting of six weatherproof steel plates. Open Ended was recently exhibited at Gagosian Gallery in London in 2008. The upcoming exhibition brings both sculptures together for the first time.

Opening reception: Tuesday, October 27th, from 6 to 8pm, Gagosian Gallery 522 West 21st Street
New York, NY 10011

Ha, they sort of look like eyes. Probably just a coincidence. (wink wink wink)

But sometimes antiquities gets stolen. Thank goodness the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement “is committed to working closely with foreign governments to find and return stolen works of art and antiquities to their rightful owners.”

Investigating officials have identified a large smuggling organization that appears to have moved items out of Italy to other locations in Europe from which they were smuggled into the United States. Typically, the items were then sold through antiquities galleries in the United States to obscure their origins before introducing them into major auction houses. The illicit proceeds of the sales were then laundered back to the source countries. The trail of these two seized items started in Italy, moved to Geneva, and then, according to the evidence uncovered so far, arrived in Beverly Hills. The gallery involved in the sale of these items has been associated with other looted materials that have ultimately been repatriated to their source countries.

Hmm. Money laundering through antiquities. OK well, there are several galleries in Beverly Hills. They seem to be specialized. This one specializes in Asian art, and business is booming. Lucky huh? Must be because of the booming Asian economy that keeps Bensley so busy.

I.M. Chait Gallery/Auctioneers is a family owned and operated auction house based in Beverly Hills. Run by Asian Art expert Isadore M. Chait, with over 35 years of experience. Due to the high demand of clients, I.M. Chait Auctions has expanded from solely Asian art auctions into fine art, paintings, modern art, European and American furniture, jewelry, and even natural history while still maintaining the same stellar reputation and expertise that clients have seen for so many years.

I wonder if this is the same unnamed gallery that ICE says has been “associated with other looted materials that have ultimately been repatriated to their source countries.” ?? Nah. This looks like a big shop, very prestigious. Prestigious family owned businesses don’t get involved in things like money laundering and looting, and even if they did, the authorities would catch them and stop them, RIGHT? Right. The ICE knows the gallery in question, and this gallery is still up and running, so they can’t be the same gallery. I mean, that would be…like…corruption, you know? Nah.

But, kind of weirdly, a person named Isadore M. Chait became the President of the Cult Awareness Network back around 1997. Do you think there’s another person named Isadore M. Chait milling around? Hmm. That’s kind of strange seeing as Isadore M. Chait is a world-renowned Asian art expert. Or is it the same guy (or woman)? Cult awareness? That’s a totally different pail of worms we’re talking about mind control. What on earth would an Asian art expert know about mind control? It can’t possibly be the same person.

Well anyway, this Cult Awareness Network (CAN) got into some trouble and had to come under new management. (scroll down to Scientology)

Shortly after the Heaven’s Gate mass suicide, the Cult Awareness Network, which has long battled cults, sent reporters a list of “experts” on the subject. One of them, J. Gordon Melton, is considered by many cult foes to be an apologist for the groups. Melton, who has written extensively on cults and religions, has come out in defense of Aum, the Japanese cult linked to the gassing of a Tokyo subway in March 1995 that killed twelve people, and the Church of Scientology has asked him to testify in court on its behalf. What’s more, Melton, whom CAN identified as “executive director, Institute for the Study of American Religions, University of California, Santa Barbara,” is not a professor at the school; he works in the library.

Why would CAN list someone known to be a sympathetic to these groups? “We have a different philosophy here now,” says Isadore Chait, CAN’s new director. “We’re an information source on religions.” He adds that Melton has written “the authoritative book on religions in America.”

Chait was appointed after CAN lost a recent lawsuit, went bankrupt, and saw its name, logo, and hot line bought by a Scientologist.

“We figured this would happen,” says a source. “The foxes are guarding the henhouse.” Brief news item. Esquire, Jun ‘97, p20.

Um, o-kay. Mr. Source doesn’t seem too impressed with the CAN. So Chait came in to reform the CAN but maybe they have a little mission-creep there. The cult awareness network is now an information source on religions. ??? That seems to put cults and religions into one big bucket called ‘it’s all good.’ Hmm. I’m not so sure about that, it seems a little conflationary to treat all cults as religions. Well let’s just see what they say in their new first newsletter back in 1997.

http://www.cultawarenessnetwork.org/update/001.001.html

The old CAN, after being fined $1,000,000 for their part in the deprogramming of a Pentecostal Christian (rather than make any reparation for the harm they had done), voluntarily declared bankruptcy in June of 1996. The name CAN and its hotline number went on the auction block that October. At the sale were CAN’s former Executive Director and an attorney representing diverse individuals and groups. Apparently abandoned by their financial backers, CAN stopped bidding at one point and the attorney walked away owning the name and hotline. He has since licensed the use of the name and hotline to the Foundation for Religious Freedom, a non-profit public-benefit corporation run by a multi-faith Board.

The new CAN provides factual information about religions of all kinds [even cults! - ed.] and reconciles families. Read on to get briefed on some of the new CAN’s results.

Reading on…a letter from the management:

Dear Friends, This past year has been a true success! We’ve had over 4,000 hotline calls from all over the US and as far away as Germany, Denmark, Japan, and Venezuela; dozens of reconciliations and mediations; 2,000 visits to the CAN website; hundreds of new members; and many dozens of professionals agreeing to act as qualified referrals for the new CAN.

Now that the Cult Awareness Network is in the hands of the Foundation for Religious Freedom, people are being encouraged daily to get factual information, stay in communication and reconcile family situations. And this is why we’re here: to stop the hate between people over religious reasons. In this newsletter, you’ll find some examples we felt were worth sharing.

After all, America was built on religious freedom and everyone has the right to their own choice of faith.

We intend to spread this message further in 1998.

Sincerely,

Rev. George Robertson
Chairman of the Board
Foundation for Religious Freedom

Isadore M. Chait
President
Cult Awareness Network

Oh who can argue with stopping hate. Don’t you want to stop hate? Yes of course everyone should just stop fighting over religion! There’s nothing wrong with Scientology for instance. If your child wants to join the “church” of Scientology you should be supportive not hateful and judgmental, bitch, and if you’re having some trouble with that just call the CAN and they’ll talk you through it, ‘kay sweetie? Not sure why but the CAN newsletter is written in that phony cloying happy-talk style, totally condescending, which means either they’re idiots or they think their readers are. But not to worry because CAN works with professionals, and professionals aren’t idiots as proven by the plaques on their walls.

In November, religious scholars met in San Francisco for their annual conference. A CAN representative also visited one of the meetings and briefed scholars on the latest activities at CAN. Some of the many scholars she met with (in addition to several of those mentioned elsewhere in this newsletter) included: Catherine Wessinger of Loyola University, Constance A. Jones of the California Institute of Integral Studies, Judith Linzer, a Ph.D. and Rabbinical scholar, and Robert Ellwood of the University of Southern California. Each of the scholars she briefed were very happy and willing to agree to act as professional referrals for the new CAN!

…To handle over 4,000 calls in less than one year, concerning nearly every religion imaginable, CAN has created a network around the country of over 100 true religious experts to whom we refer callers. These experts help individuals and families by providing factual [emphasis in original] information to help them understand each other’s beliefs.

Yeah. Ok. Kumbaya we’re all one big happy family I guess, right? Right. Hey and if you kids don’t stop fighting over religion dad will pull the car over and take all your religions away, and you’ll just have ONE religion, the one dad likes, and that will teach you to fight over religion. Here take your toy weapons and go back to playing jihadis against the crusaders. Damn kids.

Anyway, getting back to Scientology and the CAN, evidently some CAN members in charge of “deprogramming” were also Scientologists, and they got in some legal trouble and had to be disavowed by the CAN.

Members of Cult Awareness Network (CAN), responding to the widespread public concern over planned kidnappings in the Du Pont trial, have publicly apologized to all victims of CAN-related “deprogrammings” and declared their determination to bring reforms to the organization.

The reformers, who number over 288 CAN members from around the country say they are shocked at the support and encouragement given to criminal deprogrammers by CAN executives. In their public statement, they warn that “deprogramming involves violent kidnapping, physical and mental brutalisation, brainwashing, denial of food and sleep, enforced drugging and sexual abuse to force another to abandon deeply held beliefs.”

In the ongoing criminal trial, E. Newbold Smith, Don Moore, Galen Kelly and Bob Point are accused of plotting to abduct Smith’s 36-year-old son Lewis du Pont Smith, and his wife. The plan was lure the son away using a woman, kidnap him and then “deprogram” him away from involvement with the Lyndon Larouche organization.

A secret tape played in court by the prosecution has linked the alleged conspirators with Cult Awareness Network. In one tape, defendant Moore admitted that he was working for CAN.

Cynthia Kisser, CAN’s national director, has publicly stated that defendant E. Newbold Smith is a member of CAN. A third defendant, Galen Kelly, was CAN’s security officer and was employed by them during the period he committed several recent kidnappings and helped to plan the Du Pont one.

In their public statement, the CAN reform members state that “No man or woman has the right to deprive another of liberty and then seek, through harassment and brutality, to enforce his repudiation of deeply held beliefs. Therefore, to those whose mental and/or physical health has been destroyed by hired thugs called deprogrammers, who pocket thousands of dollars in exchange for wrecking, often forever, the lives of innocent people and their families, we express our profound regret.”

The statement concludes with a determination to “to reform Cult Awareness Network so that it disavows criminal actions, dismisses from its staff all those who continue to support deprogramming, and embarks on its lawful program to educate the public on their religious rights and responsibilities.”

The California Superior Court in Los Angeles yesterday found that ei? (eight?) of the reformers, who are also members of the Church of Scientology, had “acted as a catalyst in changing the unlawful conduct of defendants (CAN).” Spokesman for the reform group, Glenn Barton said today, “Cult Awareness Network has already come under investigation by the FBI for its connections to the deprogrammings.”

“Five-time convicted felon Ted Patrick, the founder of deprogramming had a profound influence on CAN. Currently deprogrammer Joe Szimhart is awaiting trial in connnection with a kidnapping in ??ise, (Boise?) Idaho. During the Network have keen arrested for their violations of the law. These include Szimhart, Randall Burkey, Mary Alice Chrnalogar and Karen Reinhardt. This kidnapping-for-profit ring is actively supported and encouraged by Cult Awareness Network executives.”

Barton said the reformers are prepared to use the the media, the co? and the public to bring about Meaningful refom of CAN.

Oh, wow. Nice organization, whose cloying language targets vulnerable people having family conflicts, aiming to suck them in and give them the “support” of “professionals,” who may or may not be felons or Scientologists, and who may or may not attempt kidnappings and violent “deprogramming” operations on their loved ones.

Let’s pause. So far we have traced a single tentacle from the rarefied atmosphere of the elite art world in Asia and New York, to money laundering via stolen antiquities in Beverly Hills, to the Cult Awareness Network and its legal troubles, to the ordinary world of struggling people looking for help with family problems over cults — I mean “religions.” And what do we find here but some thugs caught plotting to kidnap Lewis DuPont Smith and his wife — heirs to the DuPont family fortune — to deprogram them from the Lyndon LaRouche “cult” using violent deprogramming methods bequeathed from five-time convicted felon Tim Patrick. Allright?? I’m sorry, this is just how it turned out. I wasn’t planning such a crazy post and I’m not sure I have this all straight, I’m just following along.

http://www.religiousfreedomwatch.org/religious-experts/false-experts/ted-patrick/

Patrick worked to make kidnapping and assault appear socially acceptable. As long as the crime was directed against individuals whose beliefs could be made to seem odd or unusual to the rest of society, any common thug could earn substantial sums simply by billing himself a “deprogrammer.”

Patrick’s past reveals that he comes from a background which made him no stranger to crime. Patrick’s father opted for the lucrative profession of pickup man for local mobsters running the numbers racket. Patrick began earning his living as a professional kidnapper and hired thug, targeting members of various religions for violent “deprogrammings.”

Patrick has asserted that religions recruit members by hypnotizing them on the spot with “beams” emanating from the knees and elbows and other parts of the body. This to Patrick classified a potential victim as a “mindless robot” and fair game for violent tactics.

But wait there’s more. This is from a website highly critical of LaRouche:

http://dennis-king.org/aids.htm

LaRouche worked out his ideology and tactics in the late 1970s, in a series of books and articles with such titles as The Case of Walter Lippman, The Secrets Known Only to the Inner Elites, and A Machiavellian Solution for Israel. In these tracts and in writings by several of LaRouche’s top lieutenants, history was depicted as a struggle for the true human race to assert itself against the degenerative influence of assorted subhumans such as Jews, gays, Freemasons, witches, Jesuits, and (most recently) the Slavs behind the Iron Curtain.

The subhumans, according to LaRouche and company, are led by an “evil species” outside the human race: the “Zionist-British organism.” To defeat this ancient enemy and save humanity, LaRouche taught, it is necessary to have a “grand design” in the spirit of Alexander the Great, Frederick Barbarossa, and other conquerors who marched East. His own grand design included setting up a dictatorship in America, purging the “Jewish lobby” from public life, and preparing for “total war.”

It was classic neo-Nazism, but even disguised in code words and metaphor it could hardly be sprung directly on the public. LaRouche began to experiment with ways to inject it indirectly. He launched a “war on drugs” which appeared legitimate until you read the fine print and saw that it was really a war on rich Jews and Zionists (controllers, in LaRouchian mythology, of the world drug traffic). He launched a campaign for “beam weapons.” but when you examined this one closely, you saw that the messianic rhetoric and call for trillion-dollar programs had little to do with President Reagan’s “Star Wars” program, being more akin to the old Hitlerite formula of total mobilization for total war.

Aha, we are deep in the rabbit hole now, but, perhaps you can see why Lewis needed to be rescued. After all, the DuPonts have a long family history and they can’t have their heirs going off the reservation.

Sitting down to write about the du Pont’s reminded me of two other families. Recently, John Coleman, a researcher on the elite, commented to me that when he had researched the Queen of Denmark he had discovered that the royal Danish family was slipping away secretly from everyone and they were going to Satanic rituals. It is also noteworthy that 5 modern kings of Denmark have been the leaders of Freemasonry in Denmark, and the Danish royal family, princes etc. have been active Masons. John Dale wrote a book The Prince and The Paranormal which goes into the secret occult activities of the British royal family, especially Prince Charles, but also many other royal family members too. Besides the secret occult activities of the British Monarch, they have been openly leaders of Freemasonry ( see the Appendix of Be Wise As Serpents for a detailed chart on this.) The du Ponts are similar to these families in that they too are a dynasty, they too have a very public image, and they too have a totally hidden life. In fact, the du Ponts have better control over the press’s coverage of them than the British Royal Family.

One of the clues that the family is a top Satanic family are the frequency of marriages between relatives of the du Pont descendants. Few people are aware of the immense importance bloodlines play in the upper levels of Satanism. Blood is believed to carry the occult power. Unless a person has the correct blood he or she will not rise to the highest levels of Satanism. The du Ponts have intermarried with the Balls and the Gardners. These other families are known to be involved with the Illuminati and Satanism. For instance George W. Ball is on the important permanent steering committee of the Bilderbergers and has attended the Bilderberger meetings that I know of starting with the original first meeting in 1954, plus in 1955, 1957, 1963, 1964, 1966, 1967, 1968, 1974, 1975. George W. Ball is also a member of CFR and the Trilateral Commission. Eliza Cazenove (Gardner was a sister to a du Pont.) Iorsey Cazenove (Gardner was a distant cousin. Will Gardner and Bessie Gardner duPont were cousins of the duPonts. John W. (Gardner is a 60 Illuminatus and in charge of the Rockefeller Bros. Fund. I have found the (Gardners in the thick of Satanism and witchcraft.)

I’ll leave it there for now.

one big happy family i guess

You know the Bushes and the Saudis are tight, right? I think most people running in these circles have some vague understanding of that much…pictures of George the Younger holding hands with his pals and so forth.

There’s also the question of whether the Saudi royal family are crypto-Jews. In general the subject of crypto-Jews in Arab countries remains obscure.

This information comes from The Scribe, which as best I can tell is a historical website of a Sephardic Iraqi Jew:

http://www.dangoor.com/74008.html

A crypto Jewish couple from Saudi Arabia with their twelve children came to London a few years ago and visited the offices of the Exilarch’s Foundation, asking for help to obtain a visa to enable them to emigrate to Israel. However, the Israel Embassy in London turned down their application and they decided to travel to Jordan and move over to Israel clandestinely.

According to their evidence there are thousands of crypto Jews in Saudi Arabia who lead a separate existence from the main population. To our knowledge, there are no Jews living in Kuwait, but a number of Jewish families still live in Bahrain, mainly of Iraqi origin.also this: http://www.dangoor.com/issue78/articles/letters/12.htm

(Q) Is there any further information on the Saudi family claiming to be Crypto Jews who went to London several years ago, or any other info on Saudi Crypto Jews. Medina (Al Yatribe) and Kyber Oasis were Jewish areas in Saudia which were ethnically cleansed after the death of Muhammad. …(A) The Crypto Jews who contacted the Scribe, were unable to obtain Israeli visas and said at the time that they would go to Jordan and smuggle themselves to Israel. According to the head of the family there are a number of Crypto Jews still in Arabia who lead a separate life and inter- marry within the group.

So if it’s true, it’s a pretty tightly held secret.

Here is additional background (links removed, click through for more plus links):

Jews have lived in Saudi Arabia for over 1400 years. Several Arab/Muslim intelligence agencies think the Saudi royal clan are Crypto-Jewish. There mission is to spread for The UK an extreme form of Islam which is wholly irrelevant in the twenty-first century, keep Muslims backward, destroy progressive thought in Muslim society—where it was the leader in such matters in the world at one time, progressive movements and progressive persons within the umma.

Whilst the Saudi Royals live the most unholiest of lives, even by moderate Islamic standards—-Western prostitutes, call girls, casino’s, wild parties, massive palaces, extravagant spending in the face of Muslims suffering around the world…

Thus we see the Saudis funding ‘Operation Cyclone’ and ‘Operation greenbelt’ dollar for dollar for the creation of Islamic holy warriors in the wake of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Osama and some of his most closest cohorts came from Saudi—–more on him later. The Saudis also funded the Taliban partly. Being leaders of the two most holy places of Islam they seem to be providing minimal leadership to the umma where it matters, when Arabs are victims of genocide left, right, and center around them—-Iraq, Palestine and Somalia. Finally the Saudis were installed through the good grace of the British; Rothschild Britain.

So I’m looking for news today, and I come across this (links removed):

http://www.layalina.tv/publications/review/PR_V.22/article8.html

…and I notice it has Israeli talking points. Like for instance: Iran and Ahmadinejad are bad, Western Powers are good, Iran is hiding something, etc. Hopefully you can see them. That Canada Free Press article alone presents a case of extreme Israel hagiography in which Saudi Arabia has cruelly used little Israel as a punching bag to take the body blows that rightfully should be directed at Saudi Arabia. Those mean Saudis. They’re kind of like the evil big brother or something, but NO WE’RE NOT RELATED. I don’t know. The passion against Saudi Arabia has a little whiff of ‘Ma, this is SO NOT FAIR!’ to me.

Asserting its influence on Middle Eastern politics and power relations, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused “Western powers” of wielding the media for “full-fledged psychological attacks as a lever to influence nations against their better judgment,” reports Press TV.

The media’s ability to shape the relationship between Iran and other nations has been increasingly analyzed and exploited in the weeks prior to the first significant negotiations between Iran and Western powers. Press TV further antagonizes this divide by referring to “Western powers” throughout the article.

Indirectly referring to Israel and the US, Ahmadinejad alleged that media campaigns led by “some regimes” have become “the prime weapon-of-choice against other countries” to advance their political agenda rather than properly report on Iranian affairs.

Khalil Sheikh, writing for the Daily 49er, laments the “aggressive right wing rhetoric,” and the lack of factual analysis of Middle Eastern politics that led many people to be “blind under the umbrella of misconception that Iran is a threat to the ‘free world.’”

Ahmadinejad’s comments coincided with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) takeover of Iran’s telecommunications monopoly, reports the New York Times. The acquisition “amplified concerns in Iran over what some call the rise of a pseudo-government.”

The Guards, whose mandate is to “protect the revolution,” oversee Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. According to the New York Times, the Guards tightened their political and economic control following this summer’s elections.

It remains unclear as to whether the Guards taking over major sectors of the economy will significantly impact Iranian media freedom or foreign policy. Some analysts believe that the Guards’ growing influence will further hamper opening up to the West.

“It’s not just a matter of the Guards dominating the economy, but of controlling the state,” commented Alireza Nader, an expert on Iran. Any integration on a global scale would require greater transparency, which the Guards are averse to do since it may imply having to relinquish some of their control.

On the eve of major negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program, experts are extensively scrutinizing President Obama’s policies.

Daniel Greenfield, writing for Canada Free Press, asserts that Obama’s policies toward Iran are driven by the “concerns of Saudi Arabia.” In Greenfield’s opinion, Saudi Arabia is mainly concerned with its Sunni influence in the Middle East jeopardized by Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.

“Muslim holy wars that are fought against other Muslims are often indirect,” writes Greenfield. “The Sunni powers in the Middle East understand that when Ahmadinejad talks about destroying Israel, he only means destroying Israel first, and them second…Israel is not the endgame, they are.”

According to Greenfield, Obama’s policy of “soft power, engagement and appeasement” arises directly from Saudi influence that seeks to defuse the Iranian threat “without war or any democratization or regional political instability that might rebound back in Riyadh.” Consequently, “Obama is dithering on Iran, because the Saudis are dithering on Iran,” a policy direction rejected by Greenfield.

The conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia is epitomized by various accusations that Iranian and Saudi Arabian media outlets have exchanged since the contested 2009 Iranian presidential elections, writes the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

Iranian television channels allege that Saudi media is “waging an anti-Iran campaign in coordination with Israel in the West,” and that Saudi Arabia is an “absolutist dictatorship” with “no status whatsoever in the Islamic world.”

In response, Saudi papers have accused Al-Qaeda of being an “Iranian front organization,” whose operations are primarily designed to benefit Iran. Iran’s nuclear ambitions and “alleged aspirations to take over the Middle East” are repeatedly condemned and the Saudi daily Al-Riyadh called on Arabs to protect themselves “with a force that recognizes the struggle between opposites.”

Unlike Greenfield, Iranian lawyer and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Shirin Ebadi supports a soft power approach, according to The Washington Post.

Ebadi claimed that the Obama administration has made several mistakes regarding Iran, arguing that the nature of Iran’s regime is more crucial to US security than deals on nuclear energy, because nuclear programs would not be a threat in the hands of a government that did not view America or Israel as enemies.

“If the West focuses exclusively on the nuclear issue, Ahmadinejad can tell his people that the West is against Iran’s national interest and rally people to his cause,” argued Ebadi. “But if the West presses also on its human rights record, he will find himself in a position where his popular base is getting weaker and weaker by the day.”
Obama declared that “the voice of the people needs to be heard,” she continued, “but he needs to repeat the statement again and again, so that people in Iran hear him.”

UPDATE: “Saudi-backed, anti-Iranian” means CIA and Mossad

Peter Chamberlin commentary:

[The White House Feigns ignorance of some CIA programs, in order to maintain its deniability. There has never been even one anti-Iranian operation anywhere that was not controlled or monitored by the CIA. Even if it was true that the Jundullah outfit that attacked in Iran was really not a Pakistani group, even though it was based in S. Waziristan, the CIA knew of their actions and aims beforehand and chose to let them happen, just the way they "let 911 happen." Every Sunni terrorist outfit, especially all those described as being "al Qaida related" are CIA sponsored, using Saudi money, under ISI direction, facilitated by the Mossad.]

His commentary is on this piece from the Asia Times: Saudi-Iranian hostility hits boiling point

excerpts:

This brings us to Saudi Arabia, whose relations with Iran are passing through a period of mutual antipathy bordering on hostility….Saudi newspapers with links to the establishment have carried in recent months extremely vituperative attacks against the regime in Tehran, often at a personal level directed against the Iranian leadership. They have almost gone into mourning now that the turmoil on Tehran’s streets following the disputed presidential election has receded.

…Saudi Arabia has two great worries over Iran. First, that Obama is pressing ahead with the normalization process with Tehran - a “thaw” was visible at the Geneva talks on October 1- and Tehran has begun responding to US overtures. The worst Saudi nightmare is coming true.

King Abdullah, who had refused to visit Damascus, landed there two weeks ago on a three-day visit in a desperate attempt to bring Syria into the Arab fold and to “isolate” Iran. Riyadh is worried that Iran’s status as a regional power will get a massive boost if the normalization process with the US advances, and that can only be at the cost of Saudi Arabia’s pre-eminence in the region. Riyadh helplessly watches a beeline of other Persian Gulf states reaching out to Tehran for accommodation.

In other words, Riyadh has a vested interest, which is no less than Israel’s, to disrupt the US-Iran nuclear talks.

Maybe Riyadh’s interests and Israel’s interests look so similar because it’s really all one big happy family, hmm?

naive or paranoid

I feel the need to expand on this stuff I corralled over at my news place, I suppose because it really highlights the problem of perspective and audience and how truth can seem to change and be relative depending on where you stand and what you know. But in fact truth is a journey and you have to meet people where they’re at and hopefully take them along with you for a distance, and then if you’re lucky you’ll all meet some other people along the way and we will travel together and eventually get there.

So let’s talk about Ahmadinejad. How did he achieve power in the first place, and how does he remain there? One might say he’s lucky, and that could be a naive way of looking at the situation. Alternatively, one might consider that he has been co-opted into an occult drama as the price of being in power, but that might sound paranoid. And there’s always the third way split the difference kind of thinking the truth is somewhere in between, such thinking which always accrues the benefit of the doubt to liars. So I’m gutting that option here. Either Ahmadinejad is exactly who he appears to be, an Iranian leader who somehow has the nerve to challenge Israel at the risk of getting many innocent Iranians killed and triggering WW III, or he has some kind of protection to take these risks, the nature of which remains hidden.

The naive perspective: Ahmadinejad’s background doesn’t matter:

Gilad Atzmon takes the UK corporate media to task for the debate over Ahmadinejad’s roots, noting that this whole debate shifts the discussion away from Ahmadinejad’s arguments about Israel, which are solid.

One may wonder how come a Western media outlet happens to selectively engage with issues to do with the racial or ethnic origin of the Iranian president. At the end of the day, digging into peoples ethnic past and family bloodline is not a common practice you expect from the Western press. It is something you tend to leave for racists, Nazis and Rabbis. For one reason or another, no one in the so called free press tried to dwell on the close ties between multi billion swindler Bernie Maddof and his tribe. The Free Press saved itself also from dealing with Wolfowitz’s ethnicity, in spite of the fact that the Zionist war he brought on us has cost 1.5 million lives by now. If you wonder how it is that the Western free media is reverting to ‘pathology’ in order to deal with a Muslim president, the answer is simple not to say trivial:

The so called ‘liberal West’ is yet to find the answers to President Ahmadinejad within the realm of reason. It lacks the argumentative capacity to address Ahmadinejad. Instead, it insists to spin banal racially orientated ideas that cannot hold water, “By making anti-Israeli statements” says The Daily Telegraph, “he is trying to shed any suspicions about his Jewish connections.” The truth of the matter is clear. Ahmadinejad has already managed to re-direct a floodlight of reasoning and skepticism just to enlighten our darkest corner of hypocrisy. He somehow manages to remind us all what thinking is all about.

Digging into people’s ethnic past and family bloodlines is something “you tend to leave for racists, Nazis and rabbis.” Ahmadinejad’s arguments stand on their own merits, so the discussion over his background serves as a distraction. It doesn’t matter.

The paranoid perspective: Ahmadinejad is acting a role in the grand narrative, a role he was groomed for because of his secret background:

Once you progress along the road and understand how Iran fits into the broader narrative, your perspective changes and the question of Ahmadinejad’s background definitely matters, and you don’t have to be a racist, Nazi or rabbi to think so. From my perspective, Atzmon’s statement that the question of bloodlines is something left for racists, Nazis and rabbis is a gatekeeper statement. He is saying: Don’t Go There.

But why? That’s where the bodies are buried.

I mean, whose job, exactly, is it to watch the racists, Nazis, and rabbis and figure out what they’re up to? How is it that the evil always seem to outwit the good? Are good people terminally obtuse? Is there some establishment corner of the world untouched by corruption where people study such things and pronounce their authoritative findings to deliver the world from evil? Academia? The Jesuits? Slick online journals with high overhead and paid writers? Surely you jest. Please tell me where it is. The Political Ponerology manuscript disappeared once into a furnace and once into the Vatican before finally seeing the light of day decades later.

The knowledge of how to practice mass evil has been jealously guarded by powerful people, because they’re the ones who benefit from the knowledge and they must keep it secret.

As far as I’ve learned so far, every organization with any prestige whatsoever has the taint of insidious, hidden corruption. You can get bits and pieces of truth here and there, but good luck cobbling something coherent together from anyplace establishment. The thankless job of uncovering the truth has been left to a handful of unknown volunteers with no prestige who are roundly dismissed and derided as wacky conspiracy theorists but who thankfully don’t care. And those people know that bloodlines matter to the people who rule nations. Is that racist? Yes it certainly is. That’s why people should know, because they would be appalled and outraged. And that’s why the information remains hidden, and that’s why it’s not helpful for established anti-establishment people to say Don’t Go There.

But anyway, I’ll give Atzmon the benefit of the doubt and agree that people who are just now realizing, for instance, that Israel is a rogue criminal state with a hidden agenda are prone to confusion, and maybe we shouldn’t overtax them at this juncture. It would be great if they could wrap their minds around some basics:

It is pretty much impossible to deny the fact that Ahmadinejad’s take on the holocaust and Israel is coherent, consistent and valid. He seems to have three main issues with the narrative:

1. Around sixty Million died in WWII, the vast majority of them were innocent civilians. How is it, asks Ahmadinejad, that we insist to concentrate on the particularity of the suffering of one ‘very’ specific group of people i.e. the Jews?

2. The Iranian president rightly maintains that this historical chapter must be historically examined. This would mean as well that every event in the past should be subject to scrutiny, elaboration and revision. “If we allow ourselves to question God and the Prophets, we may as well allow ourselves to question the holocaust.”

3. Regardless of the truthfulness of the holocaust, it is not a trivial fact that the suffering of the Jews in Europe had nothing to do with the Palestinian people. Hence, there is no reason for the Palestinians to pay for crimes committed by others. If some Western Leaders feel guilty for crimes committed against the Jews by their ancestors, which they seem to claim, they better allocate some land for the Jews within their territories rather than expect the Palestinians to keep upholding the Zionist murderous burden.

As much as it is obviously clear that the above points raised by Ahmadinejad are totally valid, it is also painfully transparent that the West lacks the means to address those issues. Instead we seem to revert to supremacy and pseudo scientific discourse dwelling on blood, pathology and lame psychoanalysis.

For the extra-curious: Hmm, WHY DOES “The West” lack the means to address those issues? How has this happened? What is the explanation for such massive obtuseness?

Well, you know, in order to answer those questions you have to look into Conspiracy Facts like who owns the media, who owns money, who owns the politicians, who directs the NGOs and think tanks and medicine and the food supply and education and entertainment, and what goes into these things and what comes out of them. And the next thing you know you’re talking about a surprisingly small group of people who travel in certain circles and have their hands in seemingly everything: the Illuminati and their bloodlines. But be advised, attempting to follow this fascinating train-wreck might cause you to “revert to supremacy and pseudo scientific discourse dwelling on blood, pathology and lame psychoanalysis.” Oh well. We work with what we have. Truth seekers are nothing if not scrappy, especially since the “professionals” refuse to touch this stuff with a nine foot pole with a ten foot handle, because let’s face it, they might offend someone and lose their cushy jobs.

So Israel loves to hate Ahmadinejad. He is a tool. But is he a tool wittingly or unwittingly? THAT is the question.

When you realize that world leaders are being directed as actors on a stage, executing a grand agenda spread out over generations, you can not simply dismiss the importance of knowing about things like bloodlines. The fact that it *shouldn’t* matter to normal thinking people is beside the point! It *DOES* matter to the people calling the shots.

As for gate-keeping, people who fear the truth have something to hide. What is the danger for normal people to research and question the relationships of people in power? If you’re not a racist, finding out that other people *are* racists will not turn you into a racist. If you’re not a liar, finding out that other people *are* liars will not make you a liar. The truth poses no danger except to those in power. The truth is simply the truth.
