…Two faces of the same

They made the world a jungle and ignited the fuse.
America spread its wings, doesn’t care at all.
No one can stop her, no one can catch her.
Soon he (Bush) will say Iran, then he will say Syria,
But he is silent about [North] Korea.
About that [Twin] Tower, oh people
Definitely! His friends [Israel] were the ones who brought it down.
What terrorism!! [Visual shows Sharon pushing the button]
How many years are left.

Even Zoo Animals Must Pay |

Monday 31 May 2004 — Muhammad Juma was still trying to make sense of what had just happened. Incensed as he was, he sat sipping a cup of mint tea next to a caged, limping coyote and a bouncy kangaroo.
Spread out in the field in front of him was an array of rotting carcasses, with the imposing stench that only death imparts. Two gazelles lay facing each other, the look of fear frozen on their faces.
Besides the carcasses, the only indication that a zoo once occupied this empty field was a rusty welcome sign that had fallen to the ground. Everything else had been brutally ploughed over with military tanks and bulldozers. Read more »

Nazis still in the headlines as Jews look for more handouts |

Somehow the Nazis are still making the headlines in American publications. I would say “Jew-owned American publications” but that would be a bit redundant. Last week’s U.S. News & World Report advertised “NAZI SPIES” on its cover. As I turned past the article favorably reporting how gay couples adopting children is becoming more common, and past the article casting doubt on Homer’s classical stories and even reporting the site of Troy as ” a miserable little settlement”, I find a picture of Himmler and Hitler. How can these Nazis still be making headlines today? According to Jewish print media mogul Mortimer Zuckerman’s U.S. News & World Report, it is front cover news that the US government used former Nazis for intelligence against the Soviets. Even though some of the men were prosecuted at a later date for war crimes, the Jews are once again starting to beat their war drum, this time against the US government’s actions almost 60 years ago.

AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION OF 9-11 AND THE WAR ON TERRORISM

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed, second it is violently opposed, and third, it is accepted as self-evident.”
Arthur Schopenhauer, Philosopher, 1788-1860 OPENING STATEMENT
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates taught his students that the pursuit of truth can only begin once they start to question and analyze every belief that they ever held dear. If a certain belief passes the tests of evidence, deduction, and logic, it should be kept. If it doesn’t, the belief should not only be discarded, but the thinker must also then question why he was led to believe the erroneous information in the first place. Not surprisingly, this type of teaching didn’t sit well with the ruling elite of Greece. Many political leaders throughout history have always sought to mislead the thinking of the masses. Socrates was tried for “subversion” and for “corrupting the youth”. He was then forced to take his own life by drinking poison. It’s never easy being an independent thinker! Today, our ruling government/media complex doesn’t kill people for pursuing the truth about the world (at least not yet!) They simply label them as “extremists” or “paranoid”, destroying careers and reputations in the process. For many, that’s a fate even worse than drinking poison hemlock! Read more »

Do you smell a “false flag” operation in the works? How is possible that the Mossad
knew of the existence of these 200 terrorists but could not name or locate a single
one? And how convenient for Israel that Saddam Hussein should be in cahoots with
Osama Bin Laden, despite the fact that Bin Laden and Hussein hate each other!
The Franfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, (FAZ) one of Germany’s most respected newspapers,
quoted German intelligence sources who said that the Echelon electronic spy network
gave US and Israeli intelligence agencies several warnings that suicidal hijack
attacks were being planned against US targets. 52
Echelon is capable of monitoring all of the electronic communication in the world.
Utilizing 120 satellites, the Echelon system is designed to suck up enormous amounts
of data by using keyword search techniques to sift through the data. 53
The San Francisco Chronicle reported on September 12 that San Francisco Mayor
and former California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown was advised eight hours before
the attacks that he should be careful about flying on 9-11. 54
In its September 24, 2001 issue, Newsweek Magazine broke this startling revelation:
“Three weeks ago there was another warning that a terrorist strike might be
imminent… On September 10, Newsweek has learned, a group of top Pentagon officials
suddenly cancelled travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of
security concerns.”. 55 (emphasis
added)
Wow! Could these unnamed “top Pentagon officials” have been some of the Zionist
directors of the Defense Policy Board which we talked about earlier? If these
Pentagon officials were scared enough not to fly, then why didn’t the Pentagon
place the Air Force on full alert? How could they have been so slow to react to
9-11 when they already knew there was a threat?
On September 27, The Washington Post reported that two workers of the Israeli
company Odigo (with offices also in New York) received instant message warnings
just two hours before the attacks. Here’s an excerpt from the Washington Post:
“Officials at instant-messaging firm Odigo confirmed today that two employees
received text messages warning of an attack on the World Trade Center two hours
before terrorists crashed planes into the New York landmarks” 56
Soon after the attacks, the Odigo employees informed the management of the electronic
message they had received. Israeli security services were contacted and the FBI
was informed. Nothing has been heard about this event since. I think it’s safe
to say that “Islamic terrorists” would not have been considerate enough to send
detailed E-mail warnings to some obscure Israeli office workers.

Let us review what we have learned. We have clearly established that Zionists
played a key role in steering the US into two World Wars. We have clearly established
that Zionists do not care if Americans (or others) are killed to further their
goals. We have clearly established that Zionists have a record of attacking Americans
in order to frame Arabs. We have established that the Zionists are capable of
acts of unspeakable brutality and genocide. We have established that US politicians
fear the Zionist Mafia and defy them at their own peril. We have learned that
warnings of a suicidal hijacking plot were issued to several people. And most
importantly of all, we have clearly established that the Zionists have the capacity
to make these amazing stories suddenly disappear from their controlled news media. Read more »

White Student Whose Hair Was Set on Fire Told to Stay Home by Black Assistant Principal |

(Seeing that this is at Martin Luther King Middleschool, and that they are treating the attacker so well, it would lead you to believe the attacker is black, if you know the race of the attacker please contact the webmaster, either way this shows that our schools are a disgrace)
Alleged Attacker Remains In School
POSTED: 8:23 am MDT May 26, 2004
UPDATED: 11:07 am MDT May 26, 2004
DENVER — A 13-year-old Denver girl said she was threatened with a knife at her middle school and her hair was set on fire, yet she was the one who was told to stay home for the remainder of the school year while her alleged attacker wasn’t suspended or even investigated.
Courtney Glowczewski has a small right arm and leg because of cerebral palsy, a disability that her teachers say has not kept her from working hard in school and being a good student.
“I do really good in my classes. My teachers tell me, ‘Good job,’ and, ‘You’re doing very good,’ and ‘Excellent girl,’” said Glowczewski.
But her physical appearance has made her a target of taunting and of physical attack, which she said has never been addressed by the administration at Martin Luther King Middle School. Last week, she said the bullying got worse when she said she was threatened and assaulted by a seventh grade boy. Read more »

Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo stepped up to bat for the majority of Americans and is pushing for legislation to close our borders. He started a political action committee called “Team America”. –click here for the Team America website– In just a few months this PAC has really gotten moving and is trying to get more congressmen on Tom’s side. “The Defense of a Nation Begins at its Borders” is their mission statement. They give many reasons for defending the borders including: crime, terrorism (9/11), and jobs. I think that most of us are very skeptical about the government protecting our borders but it is good to see at least someone is trying on this very important point.

Sarah Fox, a student at the Juilliard School for performing arts in NYC, was found dead in her local park after being missing for a week. Sarah had taken a semester off from school to relax and as she told her mother, “Mom, I’m exploring my neighborhood.” This petite young woman left her apartment to exercise and was shortly thereafter murdered. If this sounds familiar, it should. Many of us remember North Dakota student, Dru Sjodin, who was murdered by Alfonso Rodriguez late last year.

Israel to purchase more submarines capable of delivering nuclear missiles |
| May 27th, 2004 under Derek Bargeld, Israel & Jewish Issues, Top Stories. [ Comments: none ]
|
|
With a pricetag of roughly $850 million, I$rael is seeking financial aid from the US or Germany to purchase 2 more German-made dolphin-class submarines. These are diesel powered subs and are very difficult to detect. Germany has already given I$rael 3 of these subs in the late 90’s due to feelings of guilt from the 1991 Gulf War. I$rael has caused quite an uproar in the international community by outfitting these submarines with nuclear missiles. Recently, the I$raeli Defense Force has expressed that 3 subs with nuclear missiles may not be enough to protect I$rael and they will seek to obtain the addtional 2 subs in spite of not being able to afford them in their current budget. The only good news is that it will take until at least 2008 to deliver these subs to I$rael, if this deal does go through. Can anyone say, “Weapons of Mass Destruction?”

Amnesty International Condemns Israeli “War Crimes” |

Amnesty International recently released their annual report with a laundry list of complaints of war crimes against I$rael’s Defense Force. Among the complaints are; illegal killings, mass destruction of property, torture, use of human shields, and many more. AI also blames I$rael for the current state of poverty among Palestinians, and for denying them their natural resources. In 2003 AI reports over 600 Palestinians killed with more than 100 of those being children. The report also blasts I$rael’s judicial system, but somehow I doubt the US will be pushing for regime change or “freedom” for the Palestinian people. Most recently, AI is pushing for investigation into the murder of 2 young palestinians during I$rael’s recent invasion of Rafah. With their usual jewish “chutzpah” the I$raelis tried to blame the death on Palestinian bombs, however AI was able to use forensics and determine that this was not possible and that the children were shot from a nearby rooftop which was occupied by the IDF.

Josh Ruebner prepares
to burn his Israeli military papers across the street from the Israeli Embassy
in Washington, DC, 20 May 2004. |
On Thursday I set fire to my Israeli military deferral papers across the street from the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC. This act of civil disobedience took place during a protest organized by a Jewish American peace organization against the atrocities that Israel is committing in the occupied Gaza Strip.
In the first half of May, Israel made homeless close to 2,200 Palestinians through the purposeful destruction of their homes. Since Tuesday in Rafah, Israel has killed at least 40 Palestinians, some of whom were children engaged in nonviolent protest when they were killed. Amnesty International has described these acts of wanton death and destruction as “war crimes.” Read more »

Iraq draft gives no exit date for troops |

A new US-British drafted UN Security Council resolution endorsing sovereignty for an Iraqi caretaker government approves the presence of the US-led force there but sets no date for the troops to leave.
The resolution, distributed to council members on Monday, would back the formation of a “sovereign interim government” that would take office by 30 June and says that government would “assume the responsibility and authority for governing a sovereign Iraq.”
The draft emerged as President George Bush prepared a televised speech later on Monday mapping out his plans for Iraq, where attacks on occupying forces have thrown into doubt prospects for a peaceful transfer to democratic rule. Read more »

ZIONISTS
WANT WORLD WAR III
In January of 2001, 9 months before the 9-11 attacks, a well known economist and
political figure with worldwide intelligence connections issued the following
prediction:
“A new Middle East war of the general type and implications indicated, will
occur if certain specified incidents materialize. It will occur only if the combination
of the Israeli government and certain Anglo-American circles wish to have it occur.
If they should wish it to occur, the incidents to “explain” that occurrence, will
be arranged.” “Contrary to widespread childish opinion, most of the important
things that happen in the world, happen because powerful forces intend them to
happen, not because of some so-called “sociological” or other statistical coincidence
of the types reported for the popular edification of the easily deluded. A new
Middle East war, bigger than any yet seen, is inevitable under presently reigning
global influences.” 178
The man who made that prediction is the perpetual presidential “wannabe” Lyndon
Larouche. Now Larouche may be a cult like figure with some really weird interpretations
of history, but his intelligence contacts are legitimate and many of his political
and economic forecasts have been accurate in the past. Considering all the history
and recent events reviewed in this paper, and the logical conclusions which they
lead us to, the above prediction was “right on the money.” Read more »

Nikolai Pavlov reportedly stated that:
“Today we have a situation where on television, which we are observing, there is nothing except violence, sadism, perversion and open russophobia which is being initiated by two Jews whose last names are Posner and Shuster [two prominent TV personalities].
“There is nothing else on. There is also [former Minister of Culture] Shvydkoy and Solovev too, who brags to the whole country that he is a Jew and that he fears Russian nationalism more than anything else.

Israeli forces have killed five Palestinians in Rafah as Israel threatens to continue demolitions despite a sharp rebuke from the UN Security Council.
Reacting to Wednesday’s Security Council resolution that criticised it for the death and destruction in Gaza, Israel vowed to continue to do whatever it considers appropriate.
Passed overwhelmingly after a US abstention, the UN Security Council resolution had earlier condemned the killing of Palestinian civilians in the southern Gaza Strip refugee camp of Rafah.
It also called on Israel to halt house demolitions, which are in violation of international humanitarian law.
“Israel cannot continue to flout its authority and norms of international law with impunity,” said Abd Allah Baali, Algeria’s UN ambassador. Read more »

Yet another piece of proof of Jewish Supremacism is once again evident when comparing the cases of Jew Nick Berg and gentile Rachel Corrie. The Jewish-controlled media is already playing the case of Nick Berg on the emotions of the American lemmings this week. “SAVAGES” and “BASTARDS” were the headlines of some of the newspapers last week while showing the famous picture of Berg in front of his captors. As usual his family was also in the spotlight and his friends were making him out to be such a great guy.
Although I personally can’t judge if Berg was a great guy, there are some things of which we can be fairly certain. Read more »

Israelis Caught Near Nuclear Plant |

Former U.S. Highway 23, where the incident began when County Sheriffs noticed a rental moving truck traveling at a high speed, is a lightly-traveled highway near the North Carolina state line, a road made famous by men who later became renowned NASCAR drivers who used it to outrun and out-wit the authorities.
We retraced the “NASCAR Israelis” route, and it quickly became clear that anyone driving in excess of posted speed limits is in danger in numerous places of plunging a thousand feet down a mountainside.
There is no way anyone could mistake the curvy, winding two-lane mountain road for a well-traveled interstate. But the old US 23 does conveniently bypass the inspection stations on both the north and south-bound Interstate at the Tennessee border, in operation even on weekends.
Either the Israelis were really really lost… or they were trying to travel under the sheriff’s radar. Read more »

It is fitting that every four years the U.S. Presidential campaign should, as if by design and with perfect synchronicity, coincide with the Olympic Games. Competition lies at the heart of both events. The Olympic Games are, at the core, an embodiment of ancient tradition and reflect the virility of a much healthier, bygone era. The presidential race, on the other hand, is clearly more asinine and reeks of its own foul wretchedness.
Behold, the democrat! Obliged to witness the whole of this orchestrated absurdity, we see both Bush and Kerry (unlike the cool, calm pace of the Olympic torchbearers) approaching the final stretch of their campaign at breakneck speed - sprinting at near feverish paces, haphazardly blowing kisses to and fro, “Vote for me!” they plead, kissing baby after baby, promising the moon to potential benefactors, and always with a moistened finger to the wind, gauging the direction of public sentiment (something always kept in check by the manipulators of public opinion) and always, of course, echoing the same - as both presidential contenders hightail it towards the finish line. “Remember to vote for me!” Read more »

Los Angeles, Alta California - May 16, 2004 - (ACN) There is now ample evidence that the video showing the decapitation of 26 year old Nicholas Berg of Philadelphia by purported Al queda members is a complete fraud. The real Nick Berg may or may not be dead, but the heavily edited video is nothing but a fake. This is the conclusion of La Voz de Aztlan after a frame by frame analysis and the conclusion of hundreds of film, medical and other experts world wide who downloaded, viewed and analyzed the video as well. Literally thousands of persons world wide requested the video, which is rapidly disappearing from the Internet, after our news service published “Nick Berg decapitation video declared a fraud by medical doctor” on Wednesday May 12 and which was linked by other independent news services on the World Wide Web.

Staff writer
The recent beheading of Nick Berg by Iraqi insurgents has served as a rallying cry for the neo-conservatives within the Republican Party. With renewed fervor, talk radio show hosts are stoking the fire in a push for all out war. With the dead American Jew now serving as a cause celeb, these sycophants want President Bush to put to an end - once and for all - any sentiments amongst the denizens whom detest the idea of a westernized, psuedo-government; a concocted Iraqi authority that will serve no purpose other than as a springboard to suppress anti-Zionist passions in the region.
As for Berg, it is indeed curious as to why a Jew, of all people, would be travelling alone in a politically unstable Arab country. It is doubtful that even a Mossad agent would tempt fate in such a manner. Perhaps more clues will surface in the coming weeks, but I digress. Read more »

The Berg killing is becoming more of a mystery by the minute.

NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw, May 12th
Thus said the reporter from NBC News already “innoculating” the public against this reasonable “conspiracy theory” being promulgated by more questioning minds in both America and overseas. BUT IT MAKES ALL THE SENSE IN THE WORLD!
The previous article posted, “Fishy Circumstances and Flawed Timelines” is worth reading, especially the numbered observations at the close of the article. But there is more to add:
1. Both Drudge and Aljazeera report that “ِِA body found on Monday by US military patrol along a roadside over the weekend was identified as Berg’s.”
ALJAZEERA
Aljazeera Note the confused reporting in this direct quote, “on Monday”, “over the weekend”, by US military patrol. Was it found on Monday or over the weekend–which one? Does this make sense to anyone? Or was someone scrambling a press release (in panic) of wording that was hastily contrived, and uncertain themselves about how the facts would compare to the report.

Bizarre New Link In Berg Murder |
| May 14th, 2004 under Top Stories, War Coverage. [ Comments: none ]
|
|
Initially, Berg’s murder seemed to be a case of an eccentric young American who was in the wrong place at the worst possible time — just as the revelations of American mistreatment of iraqi prisoners were coming to light.
But CBS News National Security Correspondent David Martin reports on what is turning into a bizarre mystery with a connection to 9/11.
U.S. officials say the FBI questioned Berg in 2002 after a computer password Berg used in college turned up in the possession of Zaccarias Moussaoui, the al Qaeda operative arrested shortly before 9/11 for his suspicious activity at a flight school in Minnesota.
The bureau had already dismissed the connection between Berg and Moussaoui as nothing more than a college student who had been careless about protecting his password.
But in the wake of Berg’s gruesome murder, it becomes a stranger than fiction coincidence — an American who inadvertently gave away his computer password to one notorious al Qaeda operative is later murdered by another notorious al Qaeda operative.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Federal officials on Thursday ordered Democratic presidential candidate Al Sharpton to repay the $100,000 in public matching funds that he received this year for his White House bid.
The six-member Federal Election Commission decided unanimously to take action against Sharpton and his presidential campaign committee after an investigation determined that he had exceeded a $50,000 limit that candidates may spend on their own campaigns.
But Sharpton’s campaign disputed the ruling.
“We expected this. They’ve been under pressure from these right-wing hate groups for months now,” said Sharpton campaign manager Charles Halloran. “We planned all along to appeal this decision and have met extensively with counsel. The statutes are clear and convincing about the reverend’s donations to his own campaign, and we’ve followed them to the strict letter of the law.”

With the court-martials in progress and photos of Iraqi detainees being abused floating around for all to see, public opinion of the “war against terror” is turning. While we all know that their job is a tough one, it would seem by the following video that some soldiers are making it tougher on themselves and others by mistreating Iraqi citizens on a regular basis.

If our goal was truly liberation, then liberation has obviously turned into abuse for some soldiers who are finding their own ways to enjoy their tour of duty. With more video like this and photos surfacing one has to ask, have we already lost the war?

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - An explosion ripped apart an Israeli armored vehicle Wednesday, killing five soldiers, in the second such attack by Palestinian militants in Gaza in two days. Hours later, an Israeli missile attack killed seven Palestinians in a refugee camp, Palestinian medical officials said.
Four other Palestinians were wounded in the missile strike on the Rafah camp near the Egyptian border, the medical officials said.
The military had no immediate comment.
In all, 11 Israeli soldiers and 22 Palestinians were killed in Gaza fighting Tuesday and Wednesday, and more than 175 Palestinians were wounded in the biggest operation in Gaza in nearly a decade.
The Israeli deaths reignited debate over Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news - web sites)’s plan to withdraw Israeli troops and settlers from Gaza, despite a veto by his Likud Party and fierce opposition by ultranationalist coalition partners.

“It cheered us up but we could not shout because there were soldiers outside.”
Abed and his 10-member family spent two days huddled in their kitchen, the only room in their house which they believed would be safe from the gunfire of fierce battles between soldiers and militants.
“We had no food, no water, no electricity. Children wept non-stop. It was two nights of hell,” he said

By R. H. S. Grossman (Excerpts from Esquire, November 1963)
Were all the crimes against humanity committed during World War II the work
of Adolf Hitler’s underlings? That was certainly the impression created by
the fact that only Germans were brought to trial at Nuremberg. Alas! It
is a false impression. We all now know that in the terrible struggle waged
between the Red Army and the German Wehrmacht, the Russians displayed their
fair share of insensate inhumanity. What is less widely recognized -
because the truth, until only recently, has been deliberately suppressed -
is that the Western democracies were responsible for the most senseless
single act of mass murder committed in the whole course of World War II.
The devastation of Dresden in February, 1945, was one of those crimes
against humanity whose authors would have been arraigned at Nuremberg if
that Court had not been perverted into the instrument of Allied justice.
Whether measured in terms of material destruction or by loss of human life,
this “conventional” air raid was far more devastating than either of the
two atomic raids against Japan that were to follow it a few months later.
Out of 28,410 houses in the inner city of Dresden, 24,866 were destroyed,
and the area of total destruction extended over 11 square miles.
As for the death roll, the population, as we shall see, had been well night
doubled by a last minute influx of refugees fleeing before the Red Army;
and even the German authorities - usually so pedantic in their estimates -
gave up trying to work out the precise total after some 35,000 bodies had
been recognized, labeled and buried. We do know, however, that the
1,250,000 people in the city on the night of the raid had been reduced to
368,519 by the time it was over; and it seems certain that the death toll
must have greatly exceeded 71,879 at Hiroshima. Indeed, the German
authorities were probably correct who, a few days after the attack, put the
total somewhere between 120,000 and 150,000. Read more »

It is not the evil itself which is horrifying about our times — it is the way we not only tolerate evil, but have made a cult of positively worshipping weakness, depravity, rottenness and evil itself. George Lincoln Rockwell

” If our buildings, our highways, our railroads should be wrecked we could rebuild them. If our cities should be destroyed out of the very ruins we could erect newer and greater ones. Even if our armed might should be crushed, we could rear sons who could redeem our power. But if the blood of our White race should become corrupted and mingled with the blood of Africa, then the present greatness of the United States of America would be destroyed and all hope for the future would be gone forever.”
United States Senator Theodore G. Bilbo 1947
