I had something of a treat the other day.
That is, I haven't had it yet, but I will as
soon as I get in a cooking mood.
The first new potatoes of the year has
come to my grocers. And this year, in
addition to the local crop, there's some
very nice goods from Israel. I now have
enough potatoes to last me for a while,
buying far more than I really needed.
But hey, when they start to wrinkle up
and grow appendages, I can just plant
them behind the house. Taters are user-
friendly.
And buying Israeli ones gives you a very
particular sense of satisfaction: it is a small,
personal slap in the face of Arafat, the
murderous islamics and their rabid leftist
fellow-travellers. Come to think of it, isn't
it funny how the left, the Arabs and the
Nazist movement seem to be increasingly
joined at the hip? If you want to find a
European anti-semite, look in the left bin.
Labour? Lots of them, and in power
positions. Left of Labour? Crawling and
teeming like roaches.
Anyway. Buyer satisfaction is a great thing.
A store carrying goods from Israel (or the
US), in addition to our local Norwegian stuff,
gets two thumbs up in my book. Which means
that I'll use it. A shop conspiciously empty of
same gets a thumb down. Too much of that,
and I'll not darken their door again. And
contrary to what the wild-eyed thugs screaming
for boycotts of Israeli goods may think,
businesses tend to listen to their customers and
not placard-carrying, keffyah-wearing welfare
cases with a spittle-control problem.
But I got a bit curious as to where the stuff
I get comes from. It seems that this early
spring crop comes from three areas:
Beit Shaan, Sharon and Besor. Off
I went, poking at the web with my trusty
Google. Of course I got sidetracked. In
Beit Shaan.
The kibbutz of Sde Eliyahu in Beit Shaan
not only grows potatoes. It also grows fish.
A particular kind of fish, the Tilapia. That's
twice I've stumbled across the Tilapia fish
in two days.
The first was on a website by Paul Winchell,
the ventriloquist who invented the artificial
heart. Nix told me about him, so I had to see.
And that is one amazing individual of the
Hebrew persuasion. Sometime in the past
(it doesn't give a date and I've not gone
digging in congressional records), it seems
that Winchell tried to get a project running to
provide food for Africa. Basically, it was a very
good idea but it got no funding. The whole
story of Winchell's Tilapia project is well worth
reading, here: The Tilapia Project".

Meanwhile, the Israelis are growing Tilapia,
and have done so for quite some time.
Providing food and making a difference.
The contrast when compared to the
"people" seeking a "state" in the area,
the "Palestinians", almost beggars belief.
Israel's priority is growing food. The
"Palestinians" priority is growing suicide
bombers. Guess which priority the EU
aligns itself with?
So now I've gone a fair bit off from where
I thought I was going with my potatoes.
Might as well have a look at my other
favourite place of late, Hebron.
© www.hebron.com
Hebron is the first Hebrew city in Israel.
It had existed for thousands of years when
Mohammed was only a bad premonition
of plagues to come, somewhere in the
genestream of his pagan ancestors. And
it was partly handed over to the islamics
in what is a too little known Clinton swindle.
Suffice to say that Clinton had learned well
from Carter, one of the most anti-semitic
presidents in US history and the shame of
the Nobel Committee. Well, a shame of
the Nobel Committee. They have dipped into
slime on too many occasions to have honor or
credibility left.
Still, the society of Hebron plugs on. The
other day, they celebrated the Israeli
independence day.
© www.hebron.com
Again, the contrast from the hateful grimace
of the "Arab street" is striking:
The difference between Israel and the
Arab world is, literally, between life and
death.
Not that that will make any difference to
the currently anti-semitic-to-the-core UN.
They will go on issuing resolutions
condemning life and celebrating death until
they get exactly what they ask for.
But that's a topic for a different day. Seeing
what I started out with here, who knows
where I'll end if I start on Kofi Annan?
"I have never seen a head so far up a
Presidential ass (pardon my Falluja) than
the one I saw last night at the "news
conference" given by George W. Bush."
-- Michael Moore
Well, Mikey, I really don't know what to say.
Except that you seem to relish the murder
of your countrymen and the rise of islamic
Nazism. And of course, you can take your
pardon, ram it up your Falluja and pull the
detonation cord.
Now, I probably shouldn't say mean stuff
like that. I mean, nowhere has Mikey come
straight out and professed an affinity for
suicide bombers, even though Arafat is
partly a product of the very same communist
ideology as himself.
Besides, the suggestion is manifestly
impossible. There's no way Mikey could
even find his Falluja without the help of
a team of proctologists, given his tonnage.
And to find his Najaf, he must be resorting
to some creative system of bookmarks.
Dont'cha think?
Lately it seems that our favourite club for
"legitimacy", the UN, has been coming off
more like the Cosa Nostra. Looking at the
gleaming office environment in the UN
building, you half expect to see Saddam
Hussein peering out from a spider hole
under some desk. God knows he paid
them enough. Or al Zawahiri taking lunch
in the canteen (not during looting hours,
of course). Or bin Laden hiding out in
the smoker's lounge.
The UNscam is but one link in the UN's
unbroken chain of corruption and terrorist
connections over the last few years. Not
that recent events present any surprise:
you kind of get to expect strange things
from an organization once led by Kurt
Waldheim. Now it's led by Kofi Annan,
who has managed to bring it even further
down in the mud. I wouldn't have thought
it possible. It's a feat. I can only scratch
my head in wonder - or, to put it in the
words of J.C.Clarke's "Gimmix":
Amused, amazed, aghast we gaze
we don't get in the way
Well, let's just hope that things get in the
way of the UN continuing to rip off the world.
Let's hope that the various investigations
that are underway will have the resources,
and the guts, to do the job that has to be
done. Personally, I wish that it would be
possible to involve corruption hunter Eva
Joly in the process somehow.
But in reality, as I've said before, I think
the UN must be disbanded. Otherwise, we
are on a slippery slope to give factual world
control to what is really a criminal enterprise.
Don't believe me? Here's a hint: do some
easy investigation of selected high-level
UN envoys. Just scratch the surface, using
google. What turns up looks, to me anyway,
like a regular rogue's gallery.
An example, found with the tool everyone
loves (or hates, depending):
Terje Roed Larsen, special envoy to the ME
Old stuff from 1997, and perhaps it's just
mean to bring things like that up. But I, for
one, would like to see the self-appointed
arbiter of "legitimacy" hiring folks with
cleaner hands for a position of supposedly
keeping the most corrupt, antisemitic and
deadly people in the world from trying to
exterminate the Jews.
However, seing that the "world body" has
its most convulsive moments when the Jews
have the impertinence to try and defend
themselves, I expect that this is what we
must expect.
Of course, what I'd really like to see is for
this nest of vipers to stop being a drain
on the world's resources and a boon to the
world's collective terror organizations - that is,
go away. To Hades, if at all possible.
Thinking about the UN makes me think of
John Kerry, inevitably. The UN seems to be
what drives him, even more than the Democrat
party. He's on record saying that the US
military should be under UN control, and that
if he's elected, he'll bring the US to the UN's
doorstep - like a cat bringing a dead mouse
to the door in search of praise. No fate, it
seems to me, could be more hideous for the
American public. Not to mention for the rest
of the world, where the UN would probably
find good use for that army. Want to bet
on how long Israel (or the Jews) would last
if Kofi or Terje had their grubby little mitts
on the football?
Now for something strange (you find strange
stuff stumbling around the web):
http://world.std.com/~kcl/disccmotdibbler.html
Meet "Cut-me-own-throat" Dibbler, the Discworld
junkfood vendor. Rat-onna-stick, anyone?
Meet John Kerry. Rat-onna-slope, anybody?
So it must be done at a time when he can exploit the malady to the fullest extent possible. I expect it will be just before an important debate between himself and his better, President Bush.
Anything to destroy the President's concentration.
He will turn alternate shades of blue and red as he waits for the perfect moment and he will suffer in grotesque silence until he can finally release the agony of de butt.
Permit, please, a small illustration.
Kerry, silently to himself: "Wheeewwww."
Bush: "Oh. My G-d!"
"Get a HAZMAT team in here NOW!"
Sorry....
Michael Moore is a miserable failure.
Al Franken is a big fat liar.
J eff'n Kerry is a lying, miserable failure.
IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE
Sez Nitzana
At least when it comes to food. Today
I committed the atrocity of mixing a sharp
garlic sauce with sauerkraut, heaping the
mess onto a healthy helping of meatloaf,
and making short work of it. Try it.
Granted, as atrocities go, it doesn't get
up there with John Kerry's exploits. Or
maybe it does? I mean, since it turns
out that most of what Lurch "remembers"
seems to be quite wrong, not to say
bloody lies?
Take the latest twist in his tale of heroism
(his own), for example. Lurch's site claims
that he was involved in an action while
commanding swift boat #94 on Jan. 29,
1969. But wait: there seems to be something
odd. Another man, according to the Boston
Globe, is claiming to have been in command
of #94 at that time. What's more, he was
seriously wounded. I expect we'll hear more
about this from Lurch and his henchmen in
due time. Let's just hope that the other
commander doesn't meet the same kind of
fate as the "dissident" member of Kerry's
"band of brothers" - who was fired just
hours after raining on the Lurch parade.
But the more serious of Kerry's deficiencies
may not be that he's incapable of keeping a
straight tongue. There's worse things than
a stupid liar. A stupid liar (and Lurch is
definitely not the brightest bulb on the
Democrat firmament) easily does away with
his own credibility, and that of his party.
That is something we can be amused and
thankful over. No, his real deficiency is his
Quisling-ness. BTW, did you know that
"Quisling" has gained status as a verb? It's
true. To quisle. To practice quislingism.
So Kerry met with the enemy, in Paris, back
in 1971. Now, if he's elected, he's promising
that he'll go to the UN and grovel. And bring
back the influence which the UN has lost over
the last few years.
Maybe he'd be doing it out of respect and love
of the French. Or maybe there's still enough
millions salted away from the UNscam to make
it worth his while. Ha. I knew that if I looked
hard enough, I'd find some common ground
with the blighter. Food-crime.
But I've already worked off the guilt. All it
took was a trek along the river running past
here - burning off the meatloaf and letting
doggie get her first dip this year.
Lurch will have to work much harder, I suspect.
Nix Two (Nitzana) is going to be posting
here, something that will transform this
place from a rantblog to something more.
Welcome aboard, Lady.
Gotta ask. Gotta know.
Why does a major television network in the United States, CBS, see it as acceptable to depict the greatest pain The UK has known in the past several decades by exploiting pictures of Princess Diana as she was dying on what it ridiculously terms a *news* magazine show?
1. Has it suddenly become an imperative of CBS that the US PEOPLE'S right to know should not be infringed?
(Or was it the craven want of publicity and ratings to boost profits for the all but dead, left-leaning network?)
2. Hasn't a decade+ of Dan Blather been enough? Hasn't the leftist slant of all CBS Network news shows trying to drive our President from office been enough?
3. Hasn't profiteering using French/CBS published propaganda books whose authors were hired to be outrageously untruthful and then SELLING the books on 60 Minutes been enough?
I could hazard a pretty good guess as to its true motive, but if (...and it is advisedly I say, "if,") the answer is that it is the right of people in the USA to know, that brings up a whole new can of worms.
Specifically, why should ANY major network be able to show us the dying and death of Great Britain's Princess in a stinking French tunnel, but NO network will show the people of the United States even a small reminder of why we are fighting this horrific War on Terror?
We have not seen much visual evidence of the REAL horror of September 11, while they continue to bombard us daily with a body count in Iraq. Most of the major networks, FOX excluded, continue to lobby the American People to rise up against the war which is being fought valiantly by our troops. There is a constant and deliberate attempt to lower the morale of the US and our military by stating a much contested conclusion that we can never win this war.
All the while, they say they support our troops, when what they mean is that they support the election of John S'Kerry who would immediately turn OUR troops and OUR sovereignty to the unholy ministrations of the most corrupt body on the face of the earth, the United Nations.
I want to see the film of The Twin Towers being hit as often as we need reminded, (which seems to be weekly,) why we are at war. I want our people to remember how OUR innocent civilians were brutally massacred by the bloody terrorists the UN backs with money and refuge. It should be shown until it sinks into the national psyche that we are TARGETS of the UN every bit as much as every person who suffers and dies at the hands Islamofascist terrorists anywhere in the world. These organizations, if they can be called such, could not exist anywhere humanity exists were it not for the facade of legitimacy the UN bestowes on the criiminal elements within its own core.
Terrorist states within the UN body politik pay for UN sanctimony and absurd *resolutions* with lavish gifts and stupendous amounts of bribe monies. It matters not a whit to the *leadership* of the UN what is right or wrong, real or not, truth or lie. The whole conglomerate has been bought and paid for by the most evil, spiteful, barbaric coalition of hate and greed the world has ever known.
So where are the pictures of their evil? Where is the condemnation from these networks and strident Communistic Newswires for all the atrocities perpetrated under UN sanction? Where is the condemnation of John S'Kerry's relentless pursuit of the United States' self destruction?
CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, I can't hear you......

Netanyahu seems to be going for Sharon's
plan, along with Limor Livnat.

This is, to me, encouraging news. I'm now
pretty much certain that things are moving
in the right direction.
seems to go into great emotional distress
every time some mass-murdering swine
of a terrorist meets a timely end. He puts
on his most serious face and his best suit,
and trundles out to condemn this latest
atrocity.
That is: if the terrorist is a muslim barbarian
who has killed Jews. Kofi could care less
about what slaughter goes on in other parts
of the world, and his organization was always
able to deal with genocide and assorted
atrocities without being visibly upset. But
let the Jews kill an attacker who has killed
hundreds of them, and Ghana's top (not
to say only) international diplomat has a
conniption fit. He threw one over Yassin,
the genocidal cripple. He's throwing a new
one over Rantisi, the mass-murdering
physician. Why is that?
Part of the answer, I'm afraid, is that the UN
is an organization that is first and foremost
antisemitic these days. The ghost of Himmler
and the ghost of Mengele occupy every office
in which there sits some muslim "dignitary",
and most of the European ones.
I dare say that if Dag Hammarskjøld and
Trygve Lie had been around today, they'd
disown the filthy thing and, if possible,
stuff it down the garbage chute. With
most of its "envoys".
No nation wishing to be part of western
civilization should belong to this gang of
pirates and terrorists, where a terrorist state
like Syria can be seated on the Human Rights
Council - an obscenity even in the context
of the pervading UN culture of corruption.
Now, of course there is a cure for the UN.
Apart from extreme measures like bulldozing
the Manhattan Monstrosity into the East River.
We'll get back to that.
But to the UN's history of systemic failures.
Calling it failures is sort of wishy-washy, really
- something Charlie Brown might say. The
fact is that these are not failures, but
features built into the UN system. Not
one of the UN's main stakeholders (as
opposed to the people actually paying for
the fun and games) is remotely interested
in changing things for the better, or if they
are, they have not come up with measures
to correct things. The UN mostly consist
of countries hostile to democracy, hostile
to the West, hostile to the Jews, and
often headed up by howlingly insane
criminals.
Perhaps the best-known UN failure in
recent years is Rwanda. Here, in 1994,
Hutu extremists murdered 800 000 Tutsis
and other "enemies" in about the time it
takes my phone company between bills.
So what's the UN got to do with it?
One dark night in Rwanda, a man who
called himself Jean-Pierre warned the UN
about a plan to exterminate Tutsis at a
rate faster than the Nazis killed Jews.
So what did the UN do? Why, nothing, of
course. Except for refusing to call it "genocide".
Later, some more of the truth came out.
About French forces helping the Hutus
organize and implement the atrocity. And
the Rwanda conflict spilled over the borders
and into Congo. A sick and twisted story
all around. But not all that unique.
The latest outrage from the UN is the
story of American UN police officers being
killed by muslim UN police officers, in a
firefight in a Kosovo prison. Seems the
"peacekeeper muslims" was in a snit over
the Iraq war.
It's not surprising. Having let the muslims
set the agenda for the UN for many years,
it's not surprising that the factions that are
tirelessly spouting resolutions which are really
nothing more than regurgitated Hitler-tracts
and Arab neo-Nazism now feel confident
enough to turn their guns on "infidel" UN
personnel.
And that the UN was turning into a free-
for-all, basically a corrupt looting club, was
demonstrated in a bizarre fashion when the
cafeteria workers in the UN-building went
on strike last year. The UN "diplomats"
simply went looting, like they'd never done
any different all their lives. An amusing
account from Roger Franklin:
As one witness marvelled after seeing an
envoy make off with a baked turkey under
one arm and a framed picture under the other:
"They were locusts!"
So what to do?
First of all, every civilized nation must
withdraw from the UN. The US is the most
important one in this regard: the UN would
be severely disabled if not for the steady
stream of American money and troops.
Second, throw the UN out of its lair on
the East River. Empty the bulding and
secure it, pending a full investigation of
the documents left. We need to
know what the buggers have been up to.
Third, sanctions. The US should implement
a policy for dealing with the remaining UN
structure (now maybe headquartered in
Belgium, where the pink parties are not
necessarily communist organizations). A
handy model for this already exists - just
go back to the measures used vis a vis the
soviet bloc. That would mean travel
restrictions to member states, a lid on
sensitive technology being sold to UN
members, and so on. I'd give this empty
suit less than half a year before it would
fold.
Fourth, a fresh start. Implement an
organization in which membership must
be earned. No state mouthing Hitler's
heritage need apply. No state killing
political dissenters need apply. No state
applying Sharia law need apply. And no
state without a functioning democracy
need apply.
Ariel Sharon. The right in Israel has been
mercilessly hounded and harassed. The
settlements, which are mostly Sharon's
brainchild, have come under attack. There
have been arrests with no discernible cause.
Synagogues have been torn down. I've
said a few unfriendly things over the last
year or so.
Yet, something isn't right here. All this
"surrendering" and monkeying around with
people, and pandering to the snarling and
bloodthirsty Arab terrorists doesn't seem
to have any desirable political outcome.
So what is really going on?
First of all, I think there's no doubt that
Sharon is a man who loves his country and
his people. If I had any doubts in that regard,
they'd be gone after reading Oriana Fallaci's
account in the New York Observer. Ms.
Fallaci always struck me as an excellent
judge of character, and she definitely seems
to hold Sharon in high regard.
So if he isn't the bandit he might seem
to be, what is he? A fox, maybe. My
friend Nix 2 has some definite thoughts
on the subject, and I agree with her.
She happens to be one of the most
astute analysts of the Middle East I've
ever seen, and lately we've discussed
this rather a lot. I'll give you her analysis
in my words, without further ado:
Let's do a little thought-experiment here.
You are a general who knows that you'll
have to wage a bloody war sometime in
the not-so-distant future. But your people
is divided against itself, and the enemy is
walking among them. What do you do?
First, you unite the people. And with the
heavy-handed tactics of the government
and the GSS, the people are indeed getting
to be united. And spoiling for a fight and
revenge, which isn't a bad thing if you can
point them in the right direction.
Then, get the enemy out from among your
civilians - or, in this case, get your civilians
out from among the enemy. They're really
hostages there, and a hindrance to what
must come. Soon.
Now Sharon has gotten a few rather un-
precedented things from Bush, the most
significant of which is that Israel will not have
to go back to the green line. Most folks
seem to have a problem wrapping their
heads around the importance of this. It
completely breaks the slow progress towards
oblivion in which the EU and the Arabs have
been pushing Israel, and which they thought
they had American support for.
When the Arabs are frothing at the mouth
now, and Chirac's face folds in on itself in
immeasurable petulance, it means that they
know that this is bad for them and good for
Israel. I wonder if the UN spasm firing off no
less than three resolutions condemning Israel
on the behest of terrorist states and entities
was triggered by a feeling of desperation?
However that may be, the new fact on the
table is that Israel has new parameters to
work with - parameters that are bad for the
Arabs and good for Israel. Some, like
Imra's Aaron Lerner, would tone down the
significance of this - admitting that the new
agreement does indeed constitute a valid
executive agreement that does obligate all
administrations, but also noting that such
an agreement can be summarily revoked by
a later President of the US.
However, if I'm not mistaken, for a President
to do that, he'll have to do it immediately upon
entering office (30 days). If not, a revocation
will reguire a passage through Congress and
Senate. So the agreement would seem pretty
stable, if a new President didn't attach
paramount importance on getting rid of it.
Which would seem pretty farfetched. But
if that is a concern, as my friend Nix points
out, it's another reason for American Jews
to vote to re-elect George W. Bush.
Not that I blame the Israelis for being a bit
sceptical about what comes out of the US.
America's record with its ally in the Middle
East has been questionable at best, and
some - I among them - would call it shameful.
Bush has been the first basically honorable
US president in this regard in a very long
time. Even Reagan, an otherwise honorable
man, let blatant antisemites in his administration
control too much of the relationship with
Israel. And other presidents were perhaps
closet antisemites themselves:
Jiminy Carter: "If I get back in, I'm gonna f*ck
the Jews!" And the Clintons seem to have
been no slouches when it comes to Jew-hatred.
But in contrast, George W. Bush has shown
himself to be a man of his word and a friend
of Israel, not to mention a commander-in-chief
who is willing to engage the swinish islamic
terrorism in battle, where Carter and Clinton
preferred backroom deals and accomodation.
Now then. The clincher, for me, was seeing
both men after the meeting.

Well, you're wrong. Have a gander at the
European Union's super-hero, captain Euro.
In brief, it's the exploits of a merry (well,
more like leaden) band of European Union
"special operatives" in ludicrous uniforms.
I wish I could put it nicer. I can't.
The lead lamer... err.. superhero is, as the
bright reader will already have gathered,
"Captain Euro". Quick rundown from the EU
propagandist/child-brainwashing site:
Limited access - downloading restricted data.
RESUME: Born ADAM ANDROS - the only child
of a famous European Ambassador and a
professor of palaeontology.
Travelling the world with his parents, Adam
learned to cope with the adult social world
from an early age. As a child, participation in
an experimental language programme, enabled
Adam to become a polyglot.
Adam was investigating a series of bizarre
archaeological finds when an incredible event,
involving DR DAVID VIDERIUS, prompted Adam
to take on the identity of CAPTAIN EURO.
Captain Euro has taken a difficult vow: "To use,
wherever possible, intellect, culture and logic -
not violence - to take control of difficult criminal
situations." Captain Euro is a diplomatic hero -
the symbol of European unity and values.
-- snip --
There's more of this senselessness, of course.
Much more.
Captain Euro's team is fighting a gang of
international crooks. Their leader is the nasty
Dr. D. Vider. This monster is a ruthless
speculator, and will make money even
if it means the suffering of others.
In short, the whole thing is a fascist sell aimed
at children. Poke around in there, and you'll
begin to understand the pathology of the
European Union, and that "the spirit of Europe"
really haven't changed much since Hitler and
Mussolini. Fantasies of Europe as a super-
power abound, as do rich helpings of Marxist
creepyness.
The picture of an all-pervading state and
obedient automaton citizens is probably a
true depiction of the European Union's
yearnings, but fer Chrissake, did these
insufferable loons have to put it on display?
But then again, maybe they couldn't help
themselves. Perhaps the urge becomes
irresistible once a generation or so.
This idiocy borders on child abuse, I think.
If you visit the site, there's a contact link
where you can give your opinion. Maybe
some sane voices would do the europulpers
good.
But then again, maybe not.
Or so it should be. Which makes the
Noam Federman affair that much more
aggravating, not to say heartwrenching.
We don't usually expect a democracy to
have political prisoners. And we certainly
don't expect a society built on law to
imprison people without a charge being
filed or the accused even being told what
the charges are. And we expect the accused
to have access to a lawyer. Yet, Noam
Federman is being held without recourse to
any recognizable law. It's been more than
six months now, without charges or trial.
The entity persecuting Federman is an
Israeli police body known as the GSS. The
GSS have been acting strangely for quite a
while: they seem to have some sort of stake
in proving that there are Jewish terrorists
running around and being a dire threat to
peaceful Arabs. Something is wrong with
this picture. But there's more.
A while ago, a few former heads of the GSS
put their heads together and came up with a
possible way of keeping Jews from going back
and rebuilding their settlements after being
evicted by the government. The government
led by Ariel Sharon, the man who invented
the settlements, by the way. The solution?
"Why don't we just turn the places over to
armed Palestinians as soon as the settlers are
out? That would certainly keep them from
returning".
Something is more than wrong.
Anyway, back to Federman. In 2001
a court handed him his thirtieth aquittal
after Arab false charges. No wonder
the GSS now finds it more convenient not
to bother with all these legal niceties - it
just leads to that pesky Jew getting out
of jail. Can't have that. The effendis will
be displeased.
Federman was in the past an activist in the
Kach movement. You know, that Jewish
terrorist organization which never seems to
have been involved in terrorism, and which
makes the Israeli legal system look like they
copied half of it from Stalin's Russia and the
rest from Mugabe's Zimbabve. The founder
of which was murdered, without the Israeli
police seemingly being terribly upset. His
son was murdered too, by Palestinians. I
don't think the powers that be were all that
upset with that assassination either.
So here we have a Jewish guy, in the Jewish
state, trying to be working for Jewish values.
For which he gets persecution (30 attempts
to have him charged with a crime, by the
year 2001), and prison without due process.
By the "guardians" of the Jewish state.
Have you figured out what's wrong with
this picture yet?
There's more on this steaming pile. The
other day, another Jewish fellow was arrested.
He was rash enogh to protest against Noam
Federman's imprisonment. That earned him
a prison cell. There's no telling when he'll be
back on the street.
Looking at the strange happenings with
Israel's GSS, a story from the semi-
recent past (not from Israel) enters quite
unbidden:
There was this mental hospital which
got into a bit of a scandal over patients
rights being trampled, and rather badly
too. Some of them were long cured
and due for release, some were really
never all that ill and should never have
been committed. In the aftermath, the
media had a field day. Skit heard on
radio:
"We're talking to a patient who's been here
for twenty years now. How are you feeling,
now you're getting out?"
"I'm getting out? No one told me."
"Yes, you're getting out. Can we ask
you what you're here for in the first
place?"
"Well, I really don't know.. I mean, I was
only supposed to repair a water fixture.
And when I tried to leave they just laughed
at me and put me in a straitjacket".
Time for someone to reestablish Law
in Israel. You there, Netanyahu?
on humanity, is making noise again. In
fact, he sounds downright antisemitic,
claiming that the pro-Israel stance of
President George W. Bush is fueling
animosity towards America:
"the prime source of animosity towards
the United States is the lack of progress
in dealing with the Palestinian issue".
Of course, this is a conclusion which the
elder statesman Carter can provide lots
of backing for. He needs only go to some
of the many thinktanks that has adopted
this view: Stormfront, JewWatch, Aryan
Nations, Overthrow, Vanguard News Network -
the list is endless. And the intellectual output
of all of them seems to have wound its way
into Jiminy's Democrat brain.
Of course, Jiminy is another democrat that
fails to surprise. Observers of global terror
have long known that he is the person
responsible for putting the insane mullahs
into power in Iran, which sort of names him
"grandpa of islamic terrorism". Of course,
we cannot overlook Arafat's part of the
parenthood either. Both "men", after all,
have received a Nobel Peace Award from
the Norwegians administering that part of
Afred Nobel's legacy.
I wonder what Alfred would say if he could
see his award being used to glorify these
creatures of unmitigated evil? Would he
see the errors of his ways thinking that
dynamite would make wars impossible?
Would he at least refrain from giving money,
gold and glory to genocidal monsters?
Or would he just figure that they're
dynamite customers?
The nobel committee has been asked to
rescind Arafat's medal. I could think of
at least one more. But of course, the
committee will do no such thing. War
is Peace. A dead Jew is Life. Arafat is
a Peacemaker. Carter is, too. What he
did for peace isn't entirely clear, but he
did seem to get away from his encounter
with a killer rabbit without any blood
being spilled.
On the other hand, what he did for terror
is entirely clear. What he's continuing to
do for terror is crystal clear. I wish he'd
take himself, some luggage like Arafat and
Cynthia "It's the J-E-W-S" McKinney,
and his bodysize liverspot and go feed
a cranky rabbit.
every day I've been struck with a feeling of
what an ufologist might call high strangeness
- a feeling of things out of kilter, things that
simply do not fit. It's been years since I
watched David Lynch's work, but following
Lurch about you get the same feeling of an
undertow, of decay and dark secrets and
crawly things, and lies. Or maybe it's just
that the man has no credible direction, be it
of opinion, past deeds or of faith.
For example, Kerry is supposed to be a
Catholic - a state of mind (and for all I know,
of body) that says you have to give some
consideration to what the Pope commands.
So the Pope wants Lurch to maybe not darken
the Church door for communion, as long as
he fights for the free availability of abortion.
Kerry's answer? Basically "F**ck" you, I do
what I want". And then, he shows up for
communion - in a Protestant church.
If Lurch ever had a spiritual mentor, it might
have been that fellow with the pointy hat and
the slogan "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole
of the law", what's his name again... Aleister
Crowley. Now, of course, the only thing people
remember old Aleister for is that he once, under
great ceremony, crucified a toad. A small, sad
and sordid thing.
Then there's Lurch on the Middle East. Having
already garnered the support of the mad ayatollahs
of Iran (foreign leaders for Kerry), he's now
fishing for more support. Calling the cleric
Moqtada al-Sadr who is leading a large-scale
insurgency against the coalition in Iraq "a
legitimate voice", he has sort of come out
of the closet as a garden variety marxist
sympathizer of everything anti-American,
including islam. Not terribly surprising really,
considering his connection with Scott Camil
and Camil's links to the PA and other rabid
communist entities.
Now Lurch's pet cleric is threatening to burn
three Japanese hostages. Maybe he's just
exercising his "legitimate voice". Or maybe
John Kerry now will find him illegitimate and
a terrorist. His alliance with Hamas and
Hezbollah didn't seem to do the trick, and
Kerry seems not so sure that these
organizations are terrorists anyway. But
maybe burning Japanese civilians will be a bit
over the top, even for a Democrat presidential
candidate?
Or will he walk with the fire?
for old Europe - the posture of the sniveling
antisemite. Fresh out from the new foreign
minister Moratinos is the plaintive squeal that the
Palestinians have to be accomodated in
order to have al Quaida go away.
Last time I looked, the Palestinian constitution
incorporated a clause saying that Israel must
(and will) be destroyed. What Moratinos is saying
is that maybe, if we would just let the Arabs have
their way and exterminate the Jews, the terrorists
might go away.
Now, this kind of moral gangrene isn't all that
surprising from a former EU "envoy to the Middle
East". "Envoy to the Middle East" seems to be a
job best filled by moral microbes. Or so the thinking
in the EU and that other forum for terrorist-
sponsoring states, the UN, appears to go.
And the EU, rapidly turning into the 4th reich,
is sliding into old sins as fast as their hairy
little palms can be greased with Arab money
and Arab oil. Not that they need much
greasing, just doing what comes natural.
What the EU needs is a moratorium on
Moratinos. And an enema.
I cringe at the sight of John Kerry, but I still have
to watch as this almost magically unlikable stick
figure lurches from one nasty confrontation with
reality to another.
Did I say unlikable? I'll refrain from listing any
of this old stale stuff about his neighbours
hating him, or the good senator hurling invective
at his Secret Service protectors. Let's just say
that if he had a pet rock, it would probably bite
his hand off.
Anyway, unlikable isn't really enough to disqualify
from the presidency, even if Lurch may make you
want to emigrate to Greenland just to get away.
What should disqualify him, however, is his
background. Some of that background would
seem to indicate that Kerry was aware of
plans being hatched to assassinate a few
meddlesome US senators. Kerry did not think,
evidently, that these plans warranted blowing
the whistle on the plot's author Scott Camil,
another veteran and VVAW member. Fast
forward to present day: Scott Camil is offered
a position with John Kerry's campaign.
That is sort of strange, don't you think?
But instructive. Contrary to "libertarian"
wisdom pertaining to matters of association,
who you associate with does tell something
about you. Ask any old cop about "known
associates", and I'm sure he'll spell it out
for you.
To get the message of this particular
association, you need to know a few
things. After the rather inglorious bit
of VVAW history when they voted on
wether or not to murder a handfull of
senators, Camil went travelling abroad,
and seems to have developed ties to such
diverse entities and causes as the regime
of Nicaraqua and the "Palestinian struggle".
He's also listed with this interesting group:
Veterans Call to Conscience Speakers Bureau.
A few others on that list:
Carl Dix, National Spokesperson for the
Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP).
Unique perspective on revolution in the
United States. Yeah, I'll bet.
Randy Rowland, Presidio 27 Mutineer - 1968.
Served 18 months in Leavenworth Military Prison.
Joe Urgo, The first Vietnam Veteran to travel
to Hanoi on a peace mission. Long time revolutionary
activist. Member, Vietnam Veterans Against the War
Anti-Imperialist (VVAWAI), and Activist for Not In Our
Name Project (NION)
Anyone get the feeling that Mr. Camil and his old
pal Lurch may be just a tiny bit over the Marxist
edge and just pining for the soviet fjords? And
that they miss the Great Chairman?
Me, I wouldn't vote for any of them. Or come
within ten miles of "I don't fall down" (X6) Kerry.
Or buy a Heinz scarf, even if hand-designed
by Teresa with almost no professional help.
What's with the wimmin of democrat maniacs
anyway? Teresa goes on a scarf-making-spree.
With Monica it was handbags, I believe. And I
suspect Hillary is into voodoo dolls.
Reading Israeli news is as depressing as ever.
Just a couple of the smallish points that ruined
my coffee today (and made me doubt very much
the decency of my own country which has produced
the head of the World Health Organization).
Israel Files a Complaint with the World Health Organization
Israel is filing a complaint, wanting, basically,
a condemnation of islamic terrorists hiding out
in hospitals. Which would seem to be sort of
reasonable.
However, the WHO seems to be one of these
organizations floating in the cesspool that the
UN has become, which also has a blind spot
when it comes to Israel. According to the WHO,
Israel has no capital city. Gee, the WHO is
in line with Arafat, Irineos and the late sheik
Yassin. Who knew? Good going, Gro!

Police Calling for Synagogue Protection on Passover
So during Passover it's all right to place armed
volunteers to guard the Synagogues. That must
mean that at least during the holiday, PM Sharon
and his henchmen have no concrete plans to have
any of them razed. Right, Prime Minister? I mean,
razing Synagogues seems to be the new hobby
of the Likud government with its slightly unsavoury
non-Likud partners. Maybe they hope that the
islamics will see the light and reciprocate by tearing
down the al-Aqsa mosque.
So many despicable people, so little time...
The other day, Israeli police forces raided the homes
of several people suspected of being dissidents
belonging to the Kach/Kahane movement.
The article in Arutz7 is interesting reading, both
in terms of what it tells us about the current Israeli
regime and its links to European and American
anti-jewish elements within the respective political
establishments.
The Israeli regime is referring to the Kahane
movement as "terrorist". However, finding terrorist
activity on part of this group seems extremely
difficult. A quick scan through the information
available froom the Israeli Foreign Ministry reveals
some rather startling facts:
Both Kach and and its offshoot Kahane Chai
was declared terrorist organizations after verbal
statements. So much for free speech in Israel.
But the movement seems to have been relentlessly
persecuted by the government long before that. In
1980, the founder, Rabbi Meir Kahane, was sentenced
to six months in prison for "plotting a grave act of
provocation". On the Temple Mount, no less.
Perhaps he wanted to pray there, an activity it seems
that the Israeli regime has expressly forbidden Jews to
indulge in.
So what is it that qualifies the Kach movement for the vaunted "terrorist" label, in stiff competition with
Hamas, Hizbollah, Al Aqsa Brigades, et al?
The Israeli Foreign Ministry, deadpan, lists four "attacks",
to wit:
Date:
Dec 2, 1998 Organization: Kach and Kahane Chai Attack Type: Knife Attack
Target Type: Civilian Location: Jerusalem, Israel Casualties: Killed: 1
Injured: 0 Number of Terrorists Involved: 1
Basic Info: An Arab man was stabbed to death
not far from his home in Jerusalem. Jerusalem
police commander Yair Yitzhaki said that the
circumstances suggest that the murderer was a
Jewish extremist. The victim, Osama Musa Natche,
41, a Jerusalem municipality worker and a father
of six children was attacked only a few steps from
his home in Abu Tor, a mixed Arab-Jewish
neighborhood.
More... (you have to bring up this information
separately on the ministry's site)
Further Information on this Attack
It was hoped at first that neighborhood police
cameras had filmed the attack, but the cameras
were not transmitting at the time. Police speculated
that the killing was related to a previous series of
knife attacks on Arabs in Jerusalem. Six Arab
residents of Jerusalem have been stabbed, one fatally,
in the past year in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish
neighborhood of Mea Shearim. Most of the attacks
occurred at about the same hour of the morning as
today's attack. In October police detained an Israeli
man with links to ultra-nationalist Jewish groups but
failed to find evidence that he was involved in the attacks.
Comment: We're left with some halfwitted speculation
by a police commander. This is "police work" and proper
grounds for a "terrorist" designation? Don't jail this critter,
just send him home and jail whoever hired him.
Date:
May 3, 1998 Organization: Kach and Kahane Chai Attack Type: Bombing
Target Type: Student Location: Jerusalem, Israel Casualties: Killed: 0 Injured: 0
Basic Info: A pipe bomb exploded in front of the
apartment of three Arab students in the Mussrara
neighborhood of Jerusalem. A fire in the stairwell
was the only damage caused. Israeli police
suspect right-wing extremists.
More...
This was the second attack on the students.
The first attack occurred several months before
when an explosive charge was set in front of the
apartment door.
Comment: More "police suspects....".
Evidence and/or proof (even probable cause)
seems to be conspiciously absent. Hint for the
good "officers of the leuw" in Israel: if something
explodes in the vicinity of Arabs in Israel, it's not
an immediate given that it's got something to do
with Jews. But you knew that, didn't you?
Date:
Oct 24, 1993 Organization: Kach and Kahane Chai Attack Type: Bombing
Target Type: Embassy Location: Tel Aviv, Israel Casualties: Killed: 0 Injured: 0
Basic Info: Two small explosive charges were
detonated near the French embassy in Tel Aviv.
There was no damage or casualties.
A member of the Jewish extremist Kahana Hay
movement claimed responsibility for the explosions,
saying the attack was carried out to protest
PLO leader Yasser Arafat's visit to France and
agreements he signed there.

Comment: Two small explosive charges

Wow. How small? Something in the nature
of cherry bombs? At least a member of
Kahane Chai claimed responsibility for this one,
or the Ministry might have real grounds for
embarassment . I mean, no one killed or hurt or
anything. Come to think of it, that seems to be
the case with the other bombing attributed to
"right-wingers" too. As it is, the Ministry seems
so taken with this gem of information that they
have posted it twice, so the count of "attacks"
should really be three. Oh well.
So the Kach/Kahane movement is a
terrorist organization. Having established that,
the Israeli government have proceeded to enlist
the international community in fighting this menace.
The US State Department has followed suit by
placing the oragnization(s) on its list of
"international terrorists". Trying to find terrorist
actions attributed to Kach/Kahane from US
sources you'll come up with "verbal terrorism".
Of course, the grounds listed by the Israeli
government don't seem to hold water, but
never mind that. The US State Department
seems to be crawling with antisemites on a
default basis, only to be outdone by the French,
the Germans and certain other European
microstates best known for their national
sport of Paedophilia. Last I looked, the US
State Department was actively promoting islam
on its taxpayer-funded website, something that
seems to fly in the face of the official line of
separation between church/religion and state.
The second international body seemingly
involved in fighting the "Jewish Terror" is
Interpol, according to Arutz7. When someone
mentions Interpol, it often (but not always) means
some European police force. It might be anyone,
but my suspicions lean towards the good old
Germans. And my suspicions towards the
Germans when it comes to any and all relations
with Israel are generally deep, black and not easily
dispelled.
I'll not tell you what to think, but it seems to
me that the whole "Kach=terror" thing is a red
herring. On the other hand, there is no shortage
of real terror in Israel. Terrorists that blow up
buses and restaurants, and use language like
"Jews are monkeys and pigs" and all the other
antisemitic claptrap. Terrorists like Arafat, and
Arafat's friends. And fellow travellers who
embraces Arafat and uses his language.
One of these fellow travellers is the Greek
Ortodox Church leader Irineos. From a 2002
letter by Irineos to Arafat: "You are finally
aware of the disgust and disrespect that all the
Holy Sepulchre fathers are feeling for the descendants
of the crucifiers of our Lord Jesus Christ,
actual crucifiers of your people, Sionists Jewish
conquerors of the Holy Land of Palestine".
Now, there's a mothful straight out of a PA school
book for you. The "Church" is showing off its full
glory, as rabid and antisemitic as any Dachau commander.
And this person has his friends in the Israeli
government. From another recent Arutz7 article:
"In an exclusive report, Arutz-7 correspondent
Shimon Cohen revealed that Greek Orthodox
church leader Irineos - a known anti-Semite with
strong ties to Yasser Arafat - was invited to the
offices of Interior Minister Poraz tonight
(Wednesday) to receive his official letter
of appointment from the Israeli government."
Sneaking, under cover of night as it seems,
into the offices of the most antisemitic/antireligious
party (Shinui) in Israel ,to be salved as the leader or
the most antisemitic religious body after the
Church of the Creator.
What's next from the Holy Land? Civil war?
PM Sharon's greek connections finally coming home
to roost? The IDF calling in the PLO to help kill
off those pesky "settlers"? Stay tuned and
prepare to be disgusted beyond human limits.
