Afghanistan Facing 'Downward Spiral,' Says US Report
The Associated Press
The situation in Afghanistan now is the worst since the U.S.-led invasion of 2001 and the country is in danger of a "downward spiral" into violence and chaos, according to an intelligence report draft. The nearly completed National Intelligence Estimate, the work of 16 intelligence agencies, says Afghanistan's deterioration has accelerated alarmingly in past two months. Bush administration officials say privately that Afghanistan is now the single most pressing security threat in the fight against terrorism.
Time To Face The Facts On Afghanistan
Eric S. Margolis
For those who savor historical irony, the Soviet Empire collapsed in the years 1989-1991 because of an implosion of its economy brought on by a ruinous arms race with the United States and the heavy costs of occupying Afghanistan. Seventeen years later came the turn of the world's other great imperial power, the United States ... Both Barack Obama and John McCain are wrong about Afghanistan. It is not a 'good' fight against 'terrorism,' but a classic, 19th century colonial war to advance western geopolitical power into resource-rich Central Asia. The Pashtun Afghans who live there are ready to fight for another 100 years.
Israeli Bestseller Breaks Jewish Nationhood Taboo
Jonathan Cook
No one is more surprised than Shlomo Sand that his latest academic work has spent 19 weeks on Israel's bestseller list -- and that success has come to the history professor despite his book challenging Israel's biggest taboo. Dr. Sand argues that the idea of a Jewish nation -- whose need for a safe haven was originally used to justify the founding of the state of Israel -- is a myth invented little more than a century ago. An expert on European history at Tel Aviv University, Dr. Sand drew on extensive historical and archaeological research to support not only this claim but several more -- all equally controversial.
German Prosecutor Eager for Trial of 'Denier' Toben
The Australian
The German prosecutor who wants to put Australian citizen Fredrik Toben on trial for denying the Holocaust warned yesterday that he was determined to see the former school teacher face justice. Andreas Grossmann, the Mannheim district prosecutor handling Dr Toben's case, said that despite his attempts to avoid extradition from Britain to Germany, he expected Dr Toben to be on trial early next year. Mr Grossmann also warned that Dr Toben faced up to five years in jail and, although most prisoners in Germany served a third to a half of their sentences, the stubborn refusal of long-term Holocaust revisionists to recant their views meant they usually failed to win parole.
Ehud Olmert Tells the Truth Too Late
Gwynne Dyer
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was well aware that he resembled the generals who join a peace movement as soon as they retire. "I have not come here to justify my actions over the past 35 years," he said. "For a large portion of that period, I was unwilling to look reality in the eye." Olmert, who has resigned but will stay in office until a new government is formed or an election is called, gave a valedictory interview to the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth on September 29, and said something that no previous Israeli prime minister has said. He declared that if Israel wants peace, it must withdraw from almost all the lands it occupied in 1967. Unfortunately, it's probably too late.
President Johnson: A Good Friend of Israel
The Jerusalem Post (Israel)
... President Johnson firmly pointed American policy in a pro-Israel direction. In a historical context, the American emergency airlift to Israel in 1973, the constant diplomatic support, the economic and military assistance and the strategic bonds between the two countries can all be credited to the seeds planted by LBJ.
Americans' Satisfaction Level Drops To All Time Low
Digital Journal
A new survey finds that less than ten percent of the American public are satisfied with the way things are going in the United States; the lowest such reading in Gallup Poll history. Gallup poll results shows many in the U.S. are dissatisfied with the way the economy is heading, and with various issues such as healthcare, war, jobs, education, immigration etc. Respondents were asked whether they are satisfied or dissatisfied with the way things are going in the United States. Only nine per cent of respondents said they are satisfied with the way things are going. There is a steady decline in this trend over the last seven years. This is the lowest in almost 30 years.
Afghan War Unwinnable, Top Brit Says
Reuters
Britain's commander in Afghanistan has said the war against the Taliban cannot be won, the Sunday Times reported. It quoted Brigadier Mark Carleton-Smith as saying in an interview that if the Taliban were willing to talk, then that might be "precisely the sort of progress" needed to end the insurgency. "We're not going to win this war. It's about reducing it to a manageable level of insurgency that's not a strategic threat and can be managed by the Afghan army," he said. He said his forces had "taken the sting out of the Taliban for 2008" but that troops may well leave Afghanistan with there still being a low level of insurgency.
Predictions vs. Reality in Iraq
Rep. Ron Paul
... No one predicted the exact course of this war before it started. But to continue to listen to the foreign policy advice of those that were the MOST offbase will only lead to more foreign policy disasters. We need to keep this in mind as we think about Russia, Iran, Cuba and other countries. Keep in mind - the doomsday predictions on the Iraq War from six years ago, sound like a cakewalk today. While what leaders in the administration had predicted, reads like a fairytale. Ask yourself, when listening to the same foreign policy "experts" explaining situations around the world and suggesting policy positions: In light of the facts of today, and the predictions of yesterday, how expert have they shown themselves to be?
In Germany, Mahler Goes on Trial for 'Holocaust Denial'
The Associated Press
A founder member of a left-wing terrorist group turned neo-Nazi went on trial in Germany Wednesday accused of publishing documents on the Internet denying the Holocaust. Horst Mahler, a founding member of the Red Army Faction in 1970, is accused of regularly posting documents online between 2001 and 2004. Denial of the Nazi Holocaust is a crime in Germany. Mahler has been charged with incitement and faces up to five years in prison if convicted.
Israel Indirectly Criticized at U.N. Nuclear Conference
The Associated Press
A U.N. nuclear conference of 145 nations indirectly criticized Israel on Saturday for refusing to put its atomic program under international purview. The International Atomic Energy Agency convened earlier this week in Vienna, Austria. But the Jewish state managed to evade being targeted by Islamic countries pushing for a vote to link it to nuclear proliferation in the Middle East. Iran, Israel's most outspoken foe, spearheaded the verbal attack on the Jewish state, as it has done at past general conferences of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Israel is widely considered to have nuclear arms, but has a "no tell" policy on the issue.
'Munich' Shouldn't Be Such a Dirty Word
Geoffrey Wheatcroft -- The Washington Post
Seventy years ago this month, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain flew to Germany to meet Adolf Hitler once, twice and then a third time. On Sept. 30, 1938, they agreed that the German-speaking "Sudetenland" of Czechoslovakia should be ceded to Germany. Ever since, the name of this Munich agreement has been used as the ultimate political curse. In truth, the story of the agreement is far from what is usually supposed. Over and again, "Munich" has been willfully misunderstood and misinterpreted, with repeatedly disastrous consequences.
An Amicus Brief for Neville: Reassessing 'Munich'
Patrick J. Buchanan
On Sept. 30, 1938, 70 years ago, Neville Chamberlain visited Adolf Hitler's apartment in Munich, got his signature on a three-sentence declaration, and flew home to Heston Aerodrome ... This was Munich, the summit of infamy, endlessly invoked as the textbook example of how craven appeasement leads to desperate war. That is the great myth ... The seeds of Munich had been planted at the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, in the treaties of Versailles, St. Germain and Trianon. Though Germany agreed to an armistice based on Wilson's 14 Points and principle of self-determination, millions of Germans had been consigned to alien rule.
Can a Bailout Succeed?
Paul Craig Roberts
...The US government needs to choose between its financial system and its wars. As the wars serve no US interest except for those of a few powerful interest groups, the government should declare an immediate end to the wars, thus reducing the budget deficit by at least $200 billion annually. The government should then turn to the military budget, which at about $700 billion is larger than the combined military spending of the rest of the world combined. The only justification for such an enormous amount of military spending is a policy of US world hegemony, a policy that financial collapse makes nonsensical.
An Israeli Trojan Horse: Penetrating the US Government's Telecom System
Christopher Ketcham
Since the late 1990s, federal agents have reported systemic communications security breaches at the Department of Justice, FBI, DEA, the State Department, and the White House. Several of the alleged breaches, these agents say, can be traced to two hi-tech communications companies ... Both companies are based in Israel -- having arisen to prominence from that country's cornering of the information technology market -- and are heavily funded by the Israeli government, with connections to the Israeli military and Israeli intelligence (both companies have a long history of board memberships dominated by current and former Israeli military and intelligence officers).
Howard Berman: Profile of a Powerful Pro-Israel Politician
The Jerusalem Post (Israel)
Howard Berman likes to joke that he became a Zionist before he became a Democrat. Aside from the moment when he learned that president Franklin Delano Roosevelt had died, the 67-year-old congressman's earliest political memory is of being at a rally at a Los Angeles stadium celebrating the birth of Israel in 1948. Today, as the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, he's in a position to do more than wave flags and cheer. He has the helm of one of the most powerful bodies shaping US foreign policy, and he says his decision to run for Congress and focus on international relations while in office was intimately connected to his Jewish background and ties to the Jewish state.
The Rival to the Bible
BBC News
What is probably the oldest known Bible is being digitised, reuniting its scattered parts for the first time since its discovery 160 years ago. It is markedly different from its modern equivalent. What's left out? ... For those who believe the Bible is the inerrant, unaltered word of God, there will be some very uncomfortable questions to answer. It shows there have been thousands of alterations to today's bible. The Codex, probably the oldest Bible we have, also has books which are missing from the Authorised Version that most Christians are familiar with today - and it does not have crucial verses relating to the Resurrection.
Dr Fredrick Toben's Arrest Should Alarm Us All
The Telegraph (Britain) - Editorial
... That is why the arrest of Dr Fredrick Toben at Heathrow airport last week is so disturbing. Dr Toben has not committed a crime in this country. His offence is to have published opinions on his website, which he writes from his home in Australia, that question whether the Nazi extermination of the Jews happened ... Dr Toben's case is precisely the sort of incident which ministers assured us would never happen. They said the warrant was only for terrorists and drug dealers. Now that it is being used to punish opinions, our government and judges have an obligation to throw it out.
British Parliamentarian Rejects Extradition of 'Denier' Toben
The Jerusalem Post (Israel)
A British parliamentarian has said that Gerald Toben, the Australian Holocaust denier arrested and remanded in London last week at the request of German authorities for publishing "anti-Semitic and/or revisionist" material, should not be extradited to Germany ... Speaking on BBC radio on Saturday, Liberal Democratic home affairs spokesman Chris Huhne said that Holocaust denial is not a crime in the UK and that British courts should refuse to act on a European Union arrest warrant requesting Toben's extradition to Germany.
Growing Opposition to Extradition of Dr. Toben
Telling Films (Britain)
German-Australian revisionist Dr. Fredrick Töben was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport on 1st October, seized from a plane while in transit from the U.S.A. to Dubai. Dr. Töben is being held under a European Arrest Warrant ... After hearing of Dr. Töben's arrest, and that he was at first representing himself, Lady Renouf arranged for specialist extradition lawyers (solicitor Kevin Lowry-Mullins and barrister Ben Watson) to take on this historic case ... A unique ten minute video report made by Telling Films at London's Horseferry Road court, including interviews with Dr. Töben's solicitor Kevin Lowry-Mullins and court observers David Irving and Lady Renouf, is now available below.
California University Faculty Votes Disapproval of Prof. MacDonald
Press-Telegram (Long Beach, California)
The Cal State [University] Long Beach Academic Senate has voted to disassociate itself from the writings of a controversial psychology professor who has been accused of having anti-Semitic and white ethnocentric views. "While the Academic Senate defends Dr. Kevin MacDonald's academic freedom and freedom of speech, as it does for all faculty, it firmly and unequivocally disassociates itself from the anti-Semitic and white ethnocentric views he has expressed," according to the resolution Thursday.Responding to the resolution, MacDonald, a tenured professor, said "everyone has ethnic interests."
Mammals Facing Extinction Threat
BBC News
At least 25 percent of the world's mammal species are at risk of extinction, according to the first assessment of their status for a decade. The Red List of Threatened Species says populations of more than half of mammalian species are falling, with Asian primates particularly at risk. The biggest threat to mammals is loss of habitat, including deforestation.
Russia's Last Tsar Rehabilitated
BBC News
Russia's Supreme Court has ruled that the last Tsar, Nicholas II, and his family were victims of political repression and should be rehabilitated. The rehabilitation has long been demanded by the tsar's descendants. Nicholas, his wife Alexandra, their five children, doctor and three servants were shot dead by Bolshevik revolutionaries in July, 1918. Lower courts had previously refused to reclassify the killings, which had been categorised as simply murder. The Romanov family have been canonised as saints by the Orthodox Church, which has enjoyed a post-Soviet revival. For most of the last century, Tsar Nicholas II was officially reviled as a tyrant.
Stalin Makes a Comeback With Russian Teachers
Moscow Times (Russia)
Last year, a Russian teachers' manual described Josef Stalin as an "effective manager." Now, a new teachers' manual says the Soviet dictator acted rationally in conducting a campaign of terror to ensure the country's modernization. The new manual, "A History of Russia, 1900-1945," is part of a series of educational material that the authors say will help promote patriotism in young people. Critics have taken exception to excerpts that they say are attempts to whitewash Stalin's crimes.
Australian Revisionist To Remain in British Custody
The Guardian (Britain)
An Australian revisionist historian wanted in Germany for alleged Holocaust denial will remain in British custody for at least another week, it emerged today. Scotland Yard's extradition unit arrested Dr Fredrick Toben, 64, when he passed through London's Heathrow airport on Wednesday. The district court in Mannheim, Germany, issued an EU arrest warrant that accuses him of publishing material on the internet "of an anti-Semitic and/or revisionist" nature. Toben, appearing at City of Westminster magistrates' court today under his full name, Gerald Fredrick Toben, will appear before the court on October 10 to discuss bail. An extradition hearing will be held on October 17.
Toben Case Sets 'Dangerous Precedent'
BBC News
The arrest and attempted extradition to Germany by British police of an alleged Holocaust denier would set a 'crazy and dangerous' precedent, say campaigners. Dr Gerald Toben was arrested by British police under an EU arrest warrant issued by the German authorities. That warrant accuses him of publishing material online "of an anti-semitic and/or revisionist nature". Dr Toben has been remanded in custody after his extradition hearing on Friday was adjourned, but will face a bail hearing on Friday 10 October and a full hearing on 17 October.
David Irving Offers Help to Revisionist
The Daily Mail (Britain)
Holocaust denier David Irving turned up at court today to support a fellow historian who is accused of playing down the mass murder of Jews by the Nazis. Mr Irving, who was jailed in Austria for his writings, even offered Australian Fredrick Toben a place in his home while he fights extradition from Britain to Germany. But Dr Toben, 64, who was cheered on by other supporters in a packed gallery, was remanded in custody after appearing before magistrates to discuss bail.
Recalling the Warsaw Uprising of 1944
WarsawUprising.com
The Warsaw Uprising of 1944 was the heroic and tragic 63-day struggle during the Second World War to liberate Poland?s largest city from Nazi-German occupation. It was launched by the Home Army (Armia Krajowa, AK), the Polish resistance group, while Anglo-American troops were battling in Normandy, and Soviet army forces had advanced into Poland. The fighting ended in Warsaw on October 2, 1944. This website is dedicated to all those who fought for their freedom in the Uprising, as well as all those who, as civilians, perished in the effort.
Iraq: They Make It a Desert and Call It Peace
Eric Margolis
Senator McCain's insistent claims that the US is winning the war in Iraq thanks to his "surge" strategy are the military-political equivalent of the junk securities that Wall Street's shady financiers have been selling around the globe ? The Bush administration?s torrent of lies about Iraq and ongoing occupation are seen around the globe as crude imperialism worthy of the 19th-century British Raj or old Soviet Union. Sen. Obama was at least right in the debate when he noted that America?s image is an important factor in national security. Today, America is hated around the globe, thank you George Bush and Dick Cheney.
The Pentagon Bailout Fraud
Chalmers Johnson
There has been much moaning, air-sucking, and outrage about the $700 billion that the U.S. government is thinking of throwing away on rich New York bankers who have been ripping us off for the past few years and then letting greed drive their businesses into a variety of ditches. In fact, we dole out similar amounts of money every year in the form of payoffs to the armed services, the military-industrial complex, and powerful senators and representatives allied with the Pentagon ... If we cannot cut back our longstanding, ever increasing military spending in a major way, then the bankruptcy of the United States is inevitable.
Australian 'Holocaust Denier' Arrested in London
BBC News
An alleged Holocaust denier has been arrested by police after flying into Heathrow Airport in London. The Met Police's extradition unit detained Australian Gerald Toben, 64, under an EU warrant issued in Germany. He is accused of publishing material on the internet that "denies, approves of or plays down the mass murder of Jews by the Nazis". Mr Toben later appeared before City of Westminster Magistrates' Court and was remanded in custody. A bail hearing will take place on Friday. He told the court he did not consent to extradition and would fight attempts to send him to Germany.
Toben Case: Extradition Bid Raises Fears of 'Thought Crime' Offences
Frances Gibb -- The Times (Britain)
Crown [British] Prosecution Service lawyers will put the case on behalf of the German authorities tomorrow that Fredrick Toben, an Australian doctor, should be extradited for offences allegedly committed in Germany ... Critics pointed out, however, that people could find themselves charged with an offence they did not know existed because racism or xenophobia, for example, can be interpreted differently in different jurisdictions. The spectre of 'thought crime', a person facing trial for broadcasting xenophobic or racist remarks such as denying the Holocaust on an internet chatroom in another country - as alleged against Dr Toben - was the very criticism raised against the warrant before it took effect.
A 'Failure of Leadership'
The Guardian (Britain)
The controversy over the failure of the Bush administration's unpopular financial bail-out is infecting every aspect of government and the presidential election campaign. Eminent reputations lie in ruins; the august institutions of Congress, the treasury, the Federal Reserve tremble; the presidency itself is shaken. In America's year of living dangerously, few will emerge unscathed. The consensus view, if there is one in so divided a nation, is that the US has suffered a calamitous, across-the-board failure of leadership. The bankruptcy is political as well as economic. This conclusion is widely held among both supporters and opponents of the bail-out.
Palin's Evangelical Faith Drives Pro-Israel View
The Washington Times
Sarah Palin displays an Israeli flag in her governor's office in Juneau, even though she has never been to the country, and attends Protestant evangelical churches that consider the preservation of the state of Israel a biblical imperative. Her faith makes her a favorite with the staunchly pro-Israel neoconservative elements in the Republican Party.
Israel Will Have to Reinstate Pre-1967 Border for Peace, Says Olmert
The Independent (Britain)
The outgoing Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Olmert, has publicly acknowledged for the first time that "almost all" of the territory seized during the Six-Day War in 1967 will have to be given back in return for peace with the Palestinians. In an interview with Israel's biggest-selling newspaper, Yedhiot Ahronot, in which he underlined the urgent need for an agreement to be reached while the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas remains in office, Mr Olmert warned that the alternative was "the very great danger that there will be a bloody clash, which will thwart any possibility of continuing negotiations".
Historic Hitler-Mannerheim Meeting in Finland
Deutsche Wochenschau -- YouTube (Video)
After a visit to the Eastern front in occupied Soviet territory, Hitler flies to Finland for a historic meeting on June 4, 1942, with Finland's great commander, Marshal Mannerheim, on his 75th birthday, and with Finnish president Ryti. Excerpt from the weekly German wartime newsreel, 'Deutsche Wochenschau.' With English subtitles. Runtime: 5:37 minutes.
A Shattering Moment in America's Fall From Power
John Gray -- The Guardian (Britain)
... Having created the conditions that produced history's biggest bubble, America's political leaders appear unable to grasp the magnitude of the dangers the country now faces. Mired in their rancorous culture wars and squabbling among themselves, they seem oblivious to the fact that American global leadership is fast ebbing away. A new world is coming into being almost unnoticed, where America is only one of several great powers, facing an uncertain future it can no longer shape.
Ethnicity and the Bailout: Wall Street and the Democratic Party
The Occidental Observer
We are beginning to grasp the ethnic fault lines involved in the credit meltdown. Steve Sailer was the first to point out that the push for greater minority home ownership was an important ingredient in lowering standards for lending. The result was that non-Asian minorities were more likely to get sub-prime loans with higher costs and with less documentation, and they have been more likely to default on these loans. Pretty much everyone, Republicans and Democrats were involved in this.
Day of Reckoning
Patrick J. Buchanan
How did the United States of America, the richest nation on earth, whose economy represents 30 percent of the Global Economy, arrive at the precipice of a financial panic and collapse? The answer lies in the abject failure of both America’s financial elite and the political elite of both parties -- the same elites now working together to determine how much of our wealth will be needed to bail the nation out of the crisis of their own creation.
Israel Withdrawal From Occupied Lands Needed, Says Olmert
BBC News
Outgoing prime minister Ehud Olmert says Israel must withdraw from almost all the land it occupied in 1967 if it wants peace with Syria and the Palestinians. He said this would include parts of East Jerusalem, which Palestinians want as the capital of their future state. Mr Olmert also said any peace deal with Syria would require an Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights. He gave few further details, but said he was prepared to go beyond previous Israeli leaders to achieve peace. "We have to reach an agreement with the Palestinians, the meaning of which is that in practice we will withdraw from almost all the territories, if not all the territories," Mr Olmert said.
Linz Tackles Its Past as 'Fuehrer' City
Der Spiegel (Germany)
Linz is to be Europe's Capital of Culture in 2009. Before the Austrian city takes on that mantle it is showing an exhibition about how Hitler had wanted to make Linz a "Culture Capital for the Führer." ... The idea of Linz as a "cultural capital" is far from new. Adolf Hitler wanted the city where he had spent nine years of his childhood to become one of the five "Führer Cities" of the Third Reich.
Kevin Phillips’ Gloomy View of the Financial Crisis
Bill Moyer’s Journal - PBS (video)
Bill Moyers with former Nixon White House strategist and political and economic critic Kevin Phillips, whose latest book, Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Poltics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism, explores the role that the crumbling financial sector played in the now-fragile American economy. Runtime: 29:32 mins. "I'm sick of Washington. It really deserves the fact that 81 percent or 85 percent of the people think we're on the wrong track. I mean, we are on the wrong track. I wish I could say that there's a blueprint that would get us back on the right track."
U.S. Orgy of Debt
Eric Margolis
The financial panic sweeping the globe is maddeningly complex, but the cause of the worst financial crisis since the 1930s Great Depression is clear. America has reveled for two decades in an orgy of debt. The U.S. national debt is now twice its net worth ... One thing is now clear. When great empires run onto the financial rocks, their power quickly ebbs. France's Sun King, Louis XIV, ended his once glorious rein in near bankruptcy caused by his long, ruinous wars with the British and Dutch. Louis XVI's runaway borrowing to finance the American Revolution helped ignite the French Revolution.
The Creation of the Second Great Depression
Rep. Ron Paul
... The bailout package that is about to be rammed down Congress’ throat is not just economically foolish. It is downright sinister. It makes a mockery of our Constitution, which our leaders should never again bother pretending is still in effect. It promises the American people a never-ending nightmare of ever-greater debt liabilities they will have to shoulder ... Our one-party system is complicit in yet another crime against the American people. The two major party candidates for president themselves initially indicated their strong support for bailouts of this kind -- another example of the big choice we’re supposedly presented with this November: yes or yes.
An Amnesty for Stupidity
Patrick J. Buchanan
Is it fair that businessmen who fail in neighborhood stores have to close shop and often sell their homes, while Wall Street titans are spared the consequences of monumental stupidity and greed? No, it is not fair. Yet, Treasury’s Hank Paulson may be right. To save the sheep who might have been wiped out in a general financial panic, we may have to save the pigs. Life is unfair, said JFK. Yet, this is going to be the mother of all bailouts.
Iran’s President Talks About the Holocaust in CNN Interview
Press TV (Iran)
Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has shed light on his views about the Holocaust in an interview with CNN's Larry King Live. In a recorded Tuesday interview with the renowned TV host, President Ahmadinejad said that Zionism blocks research on the Holocaust. "They (Zionists) don't allow anyone to freely discuss the historical events that happened. They just say this is our account of history, this is what happened and everybody else must just accept it," said Ahmadinejad. Larry King then asked the president if, from his point of view, the Holocaust did not happen. "No, what I am saying is let more research be done," Ahmedinejad said.
Lyndon Johnson and Israel
Jason Maoz - The Jewish Press (New York)
... Whatever else can be said of Lyndon Johnson, he proved to be a true friend of the Jews and Israel. He proved it as a young lawmaker when, with limited clout and resources, he did everything he could to get as many Jews as possible out of Europe; he proved it as one of Israel's strongest and most important backers in Congress during the Jewish state's early years; and he proved it as president by granting Israel then-unprecedented levels of financial and military aid and by refusing, in marked contrast to Eisenhower's actions after the Suez crisis of 1956, to force unilateral concessions on Israel following the Six-Day War.
Israel Moves To Judaize East Jerusalem
Mel Frykberg -- Inter Press Service
The Israeli government is attempting to Judaise Palestinian East Jerusalem, and maintain a Jewish majority against the demographic threat of a higher Palestinian birth rate. To that end, the Israeli government is enforcing a number of policies aimed at establishing facts on the ground in order to limit the number of Palestinian residents in the city. To make any future division of Jerusalem almost impossible, the Israeli authorities are applying a combination of strategies including limiting family reunification permits, redrawing Jerusalem's municipal boundaries, enlarging Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem and establishing new illegal ones.
Tossing Aside History, Conventions and a Few Cliches
The Washington Post
Historic. Breathtaking. Revolutionary. It would be hard to find a superlative that would overstate how much the parameters and contours of American economic policy have been reshaped over the past two weeks. The degree of government intervention into the workings of the private marketplace is unprecedented. Three giant financial institutions taken over. Government purchases of vast quantities of hard-to-sell assets from banks, investment banks and anyone else whose demise might threaten the financial system. Trading outlawed in an entire class of securities. A government guarantee extended to a whole new category of investments.
The Party’s Over
Patrick J. Buchanan
... What we are witnessing today is how empires end. The Last Superpower is unable to defend its borders, protect its currency, win its wars or balance its budget. Medicare and Social Security are headed for the cliff with unfunded liabilities in the tens of trillions of dollars. What we are witnessing today is nothing less than a Katrina-like failure of government, of our political class, and of democracy itself, casting a cloud over the viability and longevity of the system.
Blame for U.S. Mortgage Meltdown: Social Activist Politics
Drew Zahn -- WorldNetDaily
While many pundits are pointing to corporate greed and a lack of government regulation as the cause for the American mortgage and financial crisis, some analysts are saying it wasn't too little government intervention that cased the mortgage meltdown, but too much, in the form of activists compelling the government to pressure Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae into unsound – though politically correct-lending practices. ... In a nutshell, Liebowitz contends that the federal government over the last 20 years pushed the mortgage industry so hard to get minority homeownership up, that it undermined the country's financial foundation to achieve its goal.
Palestinians Paying Price for West's Holocaust Guilt, Says Tutu
AFP
Palestinians are paying the price of the West's guilt over the Holocaust through its failure to pressure Israel to reach a just and lasting peace, Nobel laureate Desmond Tutu said Thursday. "I think the West, quite rightly, is feeling contrite, penitent for its awful connivance with the Holocaust," the massacre of Europe's Jews by German Nazis in World War II, Tutu told journalists. "Now when you are contrite, when you are penitent, you are then ready to make amends, and we call that penance. The West is penitent, the penance is being paid by the Palestinians," said the South African archbishop, famed for his anti-apartheid activism.
Was Young Hitler an Anti-Semite?
Brigitte Hamann
... It is worthy of note that among all the stories of his sufferings in Vienna, Hitler never mentioned a bad experience with a Jew. Let us briefly recapitulate young Hitler's encounters with Jews in Linz and Vienna: Even when he was Reich chancellor, Hitler expressed his gratitude to his Jewish family doctor in Linz, Dr. Eduard Bloch, who attended to his mother until she died. In his American exile Dr. Bloch clearly stressed that young Hitler had certainly not been an anti-Semite in Linz: "He had not yet begun to hate the Jews."
Waffen SS Veterans Honored in Austria
AFP
Hundreds of neo-Nazi sympathisers honoured Waffen SS veterans at the 50th edition of the controversial Ulrichsberg gathering in southern Austria Sunday. Grouped on top of the Ulrichsberg mountain in the Carinthia province, a stronghold of the far-right nationalist leader Jorg Haider, about 500 people paid homage to the Third Reich soldiers' "sense of sacrifice." Among the supporters were representatives from veterans' groups and from the Austrian army, as well as younger neo-Nazis and retired soldiers carrying the banners of the Flemish SS volunteers.
The Americans’ Secessionist Streak: More Want Out of the USA
Christopher Ketcham -- Los Angeles Times
... As many as 44% of those polled agreed that "the United States' system is broken and cannot be fixed by traditional two-party politics and elections." Put this in stark terms: In a scientific, random sample poll of all Americans, almost half considered the current political system to be in terminal disorder. One-fifth would countenance a dissolution of the bond. This is not a hiccup of opinion. In an October 2006 poll conducted by the Opinion Research Corp. and broadcast on CNN, 71% of Americans agreed that "our system of government is broken and cannot be fixed."
McCain: So Wrong, So What?
Rosa Brooks -- Los Angeles Times
... McCain's the one presidential candidate pledging to continue the very Bush administration policies that got us into the mess we're now in, and McCain's record of getting it embarrassingly wrong on Iraq is virtually unparalleled ... Of course, maybe his success - for the time being - with the American public has convinced McCain that if you just repeat something long enough and confidently enough, people will start believing it ... And astonishingly - mysteriously! - polls suggest that a majority of Americans are buying McCain's line.
Why Obama is Wrong
William S. Lind
... Here we see the central reality of American politics shining through the smoke and mirrors. America has a one-party system. That party is the Establishment Party, and its internal disagreements are minor. Both McCain and Obama are Establishment Party candidates. They agree America must be a world-controlling empire. Both men are Wilsonians, believing we must re-make other countries and cultures in our own image. Neither man conceives any real limits, political, financial, military or moral, on American power.
Rosenberg Sons Acknowledge Their Father Was a Spy
The Associated Press
After years of professing their parents' innocence, the sons of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg are acknowledging that their father was a spy. The about-face came after their father's co-defendant, Morton Sobell, admitted for the first time that he and Julius Rosenberg stole nonatomic military and industrial secrets for the Soviet Union. The Rosenbergs were executed in 1953 for passing atomic secrets to the Soviet Union. Since then, decoded Soviet cables have appeared to confirm that Julius was a spy, but doubts have remained about Ethel's involvement.
Why Don’t Americans Believe in Evolution?
The New Scientist (Britain)
A survey of 32 European countries, the US, and Japan has revealed that only Turkey is less willing than the US to accept evolution as fact. Religious fundamentalism, bitter partisan politics and poor science education have all contributed to this denial of evolution in the US, says Jon Miller of Michigan State University in East Lansing, who conducted the survey with his colleagues. Miller's report makes for grim reading for adherents of evolutionary theory.
The Neocons Versus Russia
The Occidental Observer -- Editorial
The Russian invasion of Georgia following Georgia’s attempt to reestablish its dominance over its secessionist province of South Ossetia has certainly infuriated the neocons ... Quite simply, we think that neocon hostility stems from the fact that Russia under Vladimir Putin proved to be far more nationalistic than is good for the Jews or for Israel. A landmark event was Putin's crackdown on the oligarchs -- that small, overwhelmingly Jewish group of tycoons that came to control the industrial base of the USSR during the shift to capitalism.
Worst Crisis Since '30s, With No End Yet in Sight
The Wall Street Journal
The financial crisis that began 13 months ago has entered a new, far more serious phase. Lingering hopes that the damage could be contained to a handful of financial institutions that made bad bets on mortgages have evaporated. New fault lines are emerging beyond the original problem -- troubled subprime mortgages -- in areas like credit-default swaps, the credit insurance contracts sold by American International Group Inc. and others firms. There's also a growing sense of wariness about the health of trading partners … The U.S. financial system resembles a patient in intensive care.
US To Sell Israel 1,000 Bunker-Buster Bombs
The Associated Press
The U.S. plans to sell Israel 1,000 buster-bunker bombs which Israeli military experts said Monday could provide a powerful new weapon against underground arsenals in Lebanon or Gaza. The experts said they doubted, however, that the bombs could be used to deliver a crippling blow against Iran's nuclear program. In announcing the proposed $77 million deal, which still needs Congressional approval, the U.S. Defense Department said the sale of the Boeing GBU-39 smart bombs would be consistent with the U.S. interest of assisting Israel "to develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability." The Pentagon issued a release on the planned sale on Sept. 9.
Iraq: Violence is Down, But Not Because of the 'Surge'
Patrick Cockburn – The Independent (Britain)
If fewer US troops and Iraqis are being killed, it is only because the Shia community and Iran now dominate. / … The surge only achieved the degree of success it did because Iran, which played a central role in getting Nouri al-Maliki appointed Prime Minister in 2006, decided to back his government fully. It negotiated a ceasefire between the Iraqi government and the powerful movement of Muqtada al-Sadr in Basra, persuading the cleric to call his militiamen off the streets there, in March and again two months later in the Sadrist stronghold of Sadr City.
How `60 Minutes’ Framed Iran, and Won an Emmy for It
Representative Press
Mike Wallace Interviewed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the popular and influential CBS television program `60 Minutes.’ At the request of Iranian President Ahmadinejad, the full, unedited version was shown on C-SPAN. We can see what they cut out, a call for democracy. This is another example of Mainstream Media's continuing suppression of basic facts concerning Israel and the Palestinians and other dramatic details related to the Middle East. Runtime: 4:41 mins.
Israel’s `Greater Israel’ Vision is Finished, Says Olmert
Haaretz (Israel)
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Sunday reiterated his position that the vision of Israel holding onto the West Bank and Gaza Strip as part of its sovereign territory was finished. "Greater Israel is over. There is no such thing. Anyone who talks that way is deluding themselves," Olmert told the cabinet during its weekly meeting.
Berlin 1936 Olympic Games – Opening
YouTube
Opening ceremonies of the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin. The enthusiastic crowd welcomes the various national teams as they enter the stadium. Hitler formally announces the opening of the games. Excerpts from the Leni Riefenstahl film, “Olympia.” Runtime: 4:57 mins.
The Lies Of Hiroshima Are The Lies Of Today
John Pilger
... The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a criminal act on an epic scale. It was premeditated mass murder that unleashed a weapon of intrinsic criminality. For this reason its apologists have sought refuge in the mythology of the ultimate "good war", whose "ethical bath", as Richard Drayton called it, has allowed the west not only to expiate its bloody imperial past but to promote 60 years of rapacious war, always beneath the shadow of The Bomb. The most enduring lie is that the atomic bomb was dropped to end the war in the Pacific and save lives.
Hegemony Everywhere But At Home
Paul Craig Roberts
What explains the fantastic amount of resources that Americans have thrown into combatting a nonexistent Muslim threat to the United States, while acquiescing to decades-long encroachment by illegal aliens? ... I sometimes wonder if Americans have enough sense to justify their continued existence as an independent country. Americans have proven themselves to be incapable of dealing with any threat unless it can be hyped as a terrorist one.
Remembering Lepanto: A Battle Not Forgotten
Michael Novak
The future author of Don Quixote, Miguel de Cervantes, served on one of the Christian galleys in what he called the greatest naval sea battle in history and the most important to that time for the safety of Europe. The Turks had been massing an enormous fleet for an invasion of Italy. The preparations began to be reported on many months in advance. It was the year 1571 when that fleet was gathered near a port in Greece, not far from the Gulf of Lepanto.
The Jewish Crew That Helped Pave the Way to McCain’s Nomination
Forward (New York)
If pre-convention polls are to be believed, John McCain enters the convention poised to pull in a greater percentage of the Jewish vote than any Republican candidate in the past two decades. There are many possible explanations -- his long record on Israel, his image as an independent political moderate, lingering concerns about Barack Obama -- but one factor is certainly the ties that his campaign has cultivated with important Jewish Republicans and moderates alike.
Former Diplomat Says West Has `Fantasy' View of China
Ottawa Citizen (Canada)
Canadians have fallen for a Chinese government "charm offensive," says a former Canadian diplomat and specialist on Chinese mafia "Triad" gangs and Communist China's government-directed espionage in Canada. "I think politicians have to take off rose-coloured glasses and realize what China is all about," says Brian McAdam. "The Canadian government thinks it has to pander to China's needs and to align its foreign policy towards China. This is foolhardy." Mr. McAdam had a 30-year career in Canada's diplomatic service with assignments in Europe, the Middle East, the Caribbean and the Far East.
Bush Secretly Ordered US Raids Into Pakistan
The New York Times
President Bush secretly approved orders in July that for the first time allow American Special Operations forces to carry out ground assaults inside Pakistan without the prior approval of the Pakistani government, according to senior American officials. The classified orders signal a watershed for the Bush administration after nearly seven years of trying to work with Pakistan to combat the Taliban and Al Qaeda, and after months of high-level stalemate about how to challenge the militants' increasingly secure base in Pakistan's tribal areas.
Israel Annexes More West Bank Land
BBC News
Israel has annexed thousands of hectares of West Bank land beside the barrier it is building, according to an Israeli rights group. B'Tselem says the land has been taken with the justification that it is needed to protect Israeli settlements. The group says some settlements have seized up to two and a half times more land than they have been designated by fencing it off or through intimidation. Under international law the settlements in the West Bank are illegal. This is disputed by Israel, which has settled about 450,000 people in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
Italian Politicians Defend Fascist Era Legacy
The Telegraph (Britain)
The combative right-wing mayor of Rome refused to condemn fascism as evil, while the country's defence minister paid homage to fascist troops who fought with the Nazis in resisting the Anglo-American landings of World War II. The minister, Ignazio La Russa, was speaking at an event marking the 65th anniversary of Rome's resistance to Nazi occupation in 1943 and the role played by anti-fascist partisans. But he also recalled the "Nembo" parachute division from Mussolini's fascist "Salo Republic" who fought alongside the Germans against the Allies.
Declassified Documents Shed New Light on Zionist AIPAC Espionage
Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy
More than one thousand documents released under Freedom of Information Act filings reveal details of a secret battle that raged between founders of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and top US law enforcement officials. The new book "America's Defense Line: The Justice Department's Battle to Register the Israel Lobby as Agents of a Foreign Government" reproduces and analyzes these files and their troubling implications for rule of law in the United States. "America's Defense Line" also reveals stunning details of a preferential deal engineered within the highest levels of the US Department of Justice over the course of three years and implemented in 1965.
Figure in Rosenberg Case Admits Spying for Soviets
The New York Times
In 1951, Morton Sobell was tried and convicted with Julius and Ethel Rosenberg on espionage charges. He served more than 18 years in Alcatraz and other federal prisons, traveled to Cuba and Vietnam after his release in 1969 and became an advocate for progressive causes. Through it all, he maintained his innocence. But on Thursday, Mr. Sobell, 91, dramatically reversed himself, shedding new light on a case that still fans smoldering political passions. In an interview, he admitted for the first time that he had been a Soviet spy. And he implicated his fellow defendant Julius Rosenberg.
How Did Jews Choose Their Last Names?
Forward (New York)
... When talking about Jewish family names, or at least, about the names of the Ashkenazic Jews of Eastern and Central Europe from which the great majority of American Jews descend, it is important to keep one fact in mind: Until the late 18th or early 19th century, very few Jews had such names at all ... The introduction of permanent last names into European Jewish life came with the decision of European governments to make their Jewish populations, which had previously been granted a large measure of communal autonomy, fully subject to the same state regulations and bureaucratic record-keeping as were other citizens.
Budget Office Sees Deficit Rising Next Year
Reuters
The U.S. budget deficit will swell to record levels in 2009 as the "turbulent" economy cuts revenues and hikes government spending, a congressional report said on Tuesday in an assessment that does not include the possible costs of rescuing two gigantic mortgage companies. The Congressional Budget Office's latest budget and economic forecast projected a deficit of about $407 billion this year, rising to a record $438 billion in the fiscal year that starts on October 1. That would shatter the 2004 record of $413 billion and would be in contrast to the $161 billion budget shortfall last year, CBO said.
Albert Einstein: Great and Imperfect
The Wall Street Journal (New York)
Ask anyone where E=mc2 comes from and you will invariably be told "Einstein." The name is forever paired with the famous equation, and the two together -- emblazoned on T-shirts, public monuments and book covers -- are synonymous with genius, like the image of the wild-haired physicist himself. The problem is that Einstein was not the first to discover the equation: It was known for several years before he presented it in his celebrated 1905 paper, "Does the Inertia of a Body Depend on its Energy-content?" Nor was the proof that he provided there complete.
A Zionist Smear: ADL Deceit
Mark Weber - "Axis of Logic" Posting
The Anti-Defamation League is a master of deceit. A good example is the recent ADL blast against a conference in suburban Baltimore on August 16, 2008, where I was a speaker. Dedicated to peace and cross-cultural understanding, the meeting was organized by Jamaat al-Muslimeen, a local Islamic group. The ADL, one of the world's most influential Jewish-Zionist organizations, calls it a gathering of "Far Right and Muslim Extremists" who found "common cause in their hatred of Jews and Israel."
Russian Archaeologists Find Long-Lost Jewish Capital
Agence France Presse
Russian archaeologists said Wednesday they had found the long-lost capital of the Khazar kingdom in southern Russia, a breakthrough for research on the ancient Jewish state. "This is a hugely important discovery," expedition organiser Dmitry Vasilyev told AFP by telephone from Astrakhan State University after returning from excavations near the village of Samosdelka, just north of the Caspian Sea.
Obama On The Brink
Robert Scheer
Barack Obama is betraying his promise of change and is in danger of becoming just another political hack. Yes, just like former maverick John McCain, who has refashioned himself as a mindless rubber stamp for the most inane policies of the miserably failed Bush administration. Both candidates are embracing, rather than challenging, the fundamental irrationality of Bush’s "war on terror," which substitutes hysteria for rational analysis in appraising the dangers the country faces.
McCain’s History of Hot Temper Raises Concerns
McClatchy Newspapers
... It was another instance of the Republican presidential candidate losing his temper, another instance in which, as POW-MIA activist Carol Hrdlicka put it, "It's his way or no way." There's a lengthy list of similar outbursts through the years: McCain shoving a woman in a wheelchair, trying to get an Arizona Republican aide fired from three different jobs, berating a young GOP activist on the night of his own 1986 Senate election and many more.
Israel, Georgia and Russia
Arnaud de Borchgrave - United Press International
... Georgia also had a special relationship with Israel that was mostly under the radar. Georgian Defense Minister Davit Kezerashvili is a former Israeli who moved things along by facilitating Israeli arms sales with U.S. aid ... In a secret agreement between Israel and Georgia, two military airfields in southern Georgia had been earmarked for the use of Israeli fighter-bombers in the event of pre-emptive attacks against Iranian nuclear installations. This would sharply reduce the distance Israeli fighter-bombers would have to fly to hit targets in Iran. And to reach Georgian airstrips, the Israeli air force would fly over Turkey.

A Productive Summer and a More Effective IHR
This has been an unusually busy and productive summer for the IHR. In spite of a serious financial squeeze due to a seasonal downturn in donations, there have been more meetings and radio interviews than usual. And important changes in the office are improving the Institute’s efficiency and long-term performance.
Weber Addresses Peace Conference in Baltimore
Mark Weber addressed a conference to promote peace and cross-cultural understanding on August 16 in suburban Baltimore. In a crisply delivered and well-received address, the IHR director spoke about the motives behind the US invasion of Iraq, the harmful consequences of America’s "blank check" support for Israel, the Jewish-Zionist grip on US foreign policy, the danger of new wars, and the prospects for an effective peace movement. The event was organized by an Islamic association, Jamaat Al-Muslimeen. Among the other speakers were: Ramsey Clark, former US Attorney General; Charles E. Carlson, director of "We Hold These Truths," a Christian organization for peace and justice; and, Dr. Kaukab Siddique, MC and publisher of "New Trend Magazine."
A Zionist Smear: The ADL Attacks an Islamic Peace Conference
By Mark Weber
The Anti-Defamation League is a master of deceit. A good example is the recent ADL blast against a conference in suburban Baltimore on August 16, 2008, where I was a speaker.

In the Struggle for Peace and Justice
By Mark Weber
... By supporting Israel and its policies, the United States betrays not only its own national interests, but the principles it claims to embody and defend. The only country in the world that has a nuclear weapons arsenal, that occupies territory of its neighbors, and which is in violation of United Nations Security Council resolutions - is Israel. In fact, if the United States were to hold Israel to the same standards that it has applied to Iraq, Serbia, and other countries, American bombers and missiles would be blasting Tel Aviv, and American troops would seize Israel's leaders and punish them for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The `Good War’ Myth of World War II
By Mark Weber
How accurate is this hallowed portrayal of America’s role in World War II? As we shall see, it does not hold up under close examination ... The three Allied leaders accomplished what they accused the Axis leaders of Germany, Italy and Japan of conspiring to achieve: world domination ... Presidential deception to justify war did not start with George W. Bush. Americans who express admiration for the US role in World War II, and for Franklin Roosevelt’s presidential leadership, have little moral right to complain when presidents follow his example and lead the country into war by breaking the law, subverting the Constitution, and lying to the people.
Irving Describes His Austria Imprisonment at IHR Meeting
In an engaging talk at a memorable IHR meeting, June 14, 2008, David Irving described his harrowing arrest in Austria, his sensational trial in Vienna, and his 13 months of imprisonment. The British historian also spoke about wartime Germany’s harsh treatment of Jews, presenting a view of "the Holocaust" similar to the one he laid out more than 30 years ago in the first edition of Hitler's War. Mark Weber took aim at the American national mythology about World War II. He spoke about the two new books by Patrick J. Buchanan and Nicholson Baker, praising them as important antidotes to the familiar, much propagandized portrayal of the war.
First-Rate Talks Mark Successful IHR Meeting
First-rate talks by three seasoned speakers marked a memorable IHR meeting on May 24, 2008, in southern California. Paul Fromm reported with insight and humor on the battle for on-line free speech in Canada. Mark Weber, in a closely reasoned and well-referenced lecture, dismantled the myth of World War II as a "good war" clash between virtue and evil. Mark Green explained why the dread label of "anti-Semitism" is inaccurate and bogus.
Israel at 60: A Grim Balance Sheet
By Mark Weber ... Contrary to claims made by American and Israeli political leaders, US support for Israel has never been in America’s authentic national interest, nor has it been based on a commitment to democracy and freedom ... In spite of its impressive military arsenal, and virtually unlimited support from the United States, Israel’s long-term prospects are not good ... Although Israel is a formidable military power, it is an aberrant, crisis-prone state, artificially kept alive with outside support, and based on an unworkable ideology.
