FORGET THE PROPAGANDA AND RHETORIC, LOOK AT THE GEO-POLITICAL REALITY OF THE ISRAELI-U.S. ENDGAME.

While the world’s compliant mainstream media focuses on the propaganda and rhetoric about the reasons for their wars in the Middle East, the actual endgame for Israel and the US seems to have been all but forgotten.

As part of the propaganda and rhetoric, Israel and the US would like the world to believe that Iran’s nuclear ambitions are currently an immediate threat to the world and to Israel in particular. This propaganda includes the demonisation of Iran’s theocratic government and the belittling of Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It’s all aimed at getting public opinion on side to support an attack on Iran, or at least minimise objection to it when it does. So far the rhetoric about Iran’s nuclear ambitions hasn’t created the level of public support that the US government would feel comfortable with if it attacked now.

There are two reasons why the public hasn’t taken the bait with only some eight percent of Americans actually supporting an attack on Iran. First, they’ve heard it all before during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq and are thoroughly familiar with the extent to which that all turned out to be lies, and, secondly, the public are aware that the UN nuclear watchdog organisation, the International Atomic Energy Authority (IAEA) itself cannot find any evidence to support Israeli and US claims that Iran is enriching uranium beyond that required for generating energy and certainly nowhere near enough to make a bomb.

The US has succeeded in either frightening or cajoling or bribing some of the UN nations into calling for Iran to stop all uranium enrichment, despite the fact that Iran has a legal right to continue enriching uranium to a level where it can be used for power generation, and has even succeeded in convincing the UN to adopt minor sanctions against Iran. Taking it to the next stage, however, has been a little more difficult for the Americans and the Israelis since the Russians and Chinese are now insisting that the IAEA be able to complete their report to the UN under arrangements that the IAEA and Iran have agreed. Russia and China went along with the earlier sanctions simply to buy a little more time for the situation to be resolved in other ways knowing that the sanctions would have only a minimal effect on Iran. The alternative at the time could well have been an Israeli pre-emptive attack against Iran had Russia and China baulked at these minor sanctions. Russia and China again are playing the ‘buying time’ option as the US and Israel, who, as always, have the UK on board, and now also France as its new right-wing President Nicholas Sarkozy is staunchly pro-Zionist Israel, try, albeit unsuccessfully, to bring on tighter sanctions against Iran. Both Russia and China have far more to lose if sanctions against Iran are increased. The Russians and Chinese have managed to buy a little over a month before any more UN decisions are made regarding Iran but even then it may not be that the US, Israel and their allies get the desired result of no sanctions thus opening the way for a non-UN approved attack (again) on a sovereign nation, Iran.

For the US and Israel the diplomacy game is just that – a game which they need to play in order to satisfy public opinion and those nations like Russia and China that are aware of exactly what the geo-political reality actually is and what the US and Israeli endgame really is.

Israel and the US have, ever since Ahmadinejad was elected President of Iran, used his well-known radical views as propaganda to push the idea that Iran is intent on building nuclear weapons and using them to destroy Israel and possibly even use them against the US. Against those that argue that Iran would not do such a thing because it knows that both the US and Israel would use their nuclear weapons against Iran, the US and Israel’s propaganda response is that Iran has some kind of fanatical death wish whereby it would use its nuclear weapons even knowing that itself would be destroyed.

In light of the Bush regime realising that the American people aren’t going to bite fully on Iran’s so-called ‘nuclear ambitions’, due mainly to the Bush administrations now totally discredited claims with regard to Iraq’s so-called ‘nuclear ambitions’, they have over the last few months began to change their rhetoric. The emphasis now for American consumers, and for the people of those other nations that still have a military presence in Iraq such as the UK and Australia, is that Iran is now supplying and aiding the Iraqi insurgency with training and weapons and killing US and allied service personnel. For Israeli consumers the ‘nuclear threat’ remains and is used consistently by both the current Olmert government and the especially by the extreme right-wing Zionist Likud party headed by Benjamin Netanyahu. As is usual for the extreme right-wing Israeli Zionists and their neoconservative supporters in the US, the spectre of a second Holocaust is invoked to provide the necessary fear levels among ordinary Israelis that in turn give support to the Zionist extremists policies of regime change via attacking Iran.

Iran being a threat to Israel because Iran seeks nuclear weapons, and Iran being a threat to the US because it is supplying insurgents in Iraq with training and weapons is the propaganda and rhetoric that the US and Israel wants the world to hear about via a compliant mainstream media. The geo-political reality, however, is something entirely different.

The US and Israel are very much aware that Iran has no nuclear bomb and does not have the facilities to make one. The US and Israel are also very much aware of what Ahmadinejad actually said with regard to ‘wiping Israel off the map’, a quote that has been deliberately mistranslated by the neoconservative Middle East Media Research Institute.

The geo-political reality is simple; the US and Israel require regime change in Iran and Syria in order to crush resistance to Israeli expansionist dreams in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and south Lebanon, and also to retain without further threat from Syria the Golan Heights and the Shebaa Farms. The issue of Iranian nuclear ambitions and Iran’s ties with insurgents in Iraq is merely a propaganda ploy used to create a casus belli to attack Iran to effect that regime change.

The US and the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ attack on Iraq has created the conditions the US and Israel needed to go forward with the next stage of their Middle East program – an attack on Iran. The propaganda and rhetoric are designed purely to cover the US and Israel’s endgame – for the right-wing Israel Zionists that is the creation of a Greater Israel and for the US it is control and hegemony of the world’s richest resource region. Such an outcome also satisfies the endgame outcomes of various other groups with an interest in what happens in the Middle East and Israel; the Christian Zionists get to realise their dream of a Greater Israel, a pre-requisite apparently for Armageddon; the US oil companies get the pick of the Middle Eastern oil contracts; the so-called US ‘reconstruction’ companies get the massive contracts and dollars that go with it; and the big private US security companies also continue to make billions out of other peoples misery, misery that is often created by them in the first place.

And that is the geo-political endgame that the US and Israel are seeking; regime change in Iran and Syria giving Israel and the US control of the Middle East.

Forget the propaganda and rhetoric of Iranian nuclear bombs, Iran attacking Israel and Iran helping the insurgents in Iraq. Israeli and US domination of the Middle East is all it is all about.

THE ISRAELIS ARE SPOILING TO GET A WAR GOING WITH SYRIA SO THAT THE U.S. CAN JOIN IN AGAINST IRAN.

Over these last few weeks one doesn’t need to be a journo with top of the range contacts in the Israeli military and political hierarchy to feel how palpable the mood is in the government and the defence forces of Israel as they pace the skies close to Syria itching to get a fight going. It seems as though every time Syria gets an aircraft off the ground Israel scrambles a few of their fighters heading straight toward the border.

As well as keeping a close eye on aircraft movements, especially those that drop off the radar, Israel are also keeping a beady eye on Syrian ground troop movements as well. Reading between the lines of the various reports one doesn’t need to be too astute to realise that Israel are looking for the slightest provocation to launch a ‘preemptive’ attack against Syria the moment they look any where near moving troops or tanks up toward the border, or moving their aircraft toward their more forward airbases.

It seems the 90 million gallons of JP-8 jet fuel and 42 million gallons of military diesel has finally arrived or at least is well on the way.

The Israelis are following typical Zionist tactics as they attempt to provoke and manipulate those that they are about attack. The Zionists have always, ever since getting their ethnic cleansing of Palestine underway, sought to find a casus belli to justify their attacks. They are usually based on lies and deceptions and, with the help of a compliant western mainstream media, are usually able to deceive the west into thinking that their actions are always reactive and that they are always the victim. They’ve managed to get away with it time and time again but this time the stakes are so high that the world should take note of what is going on.

If the Israelis attack Syria, which they would probably combine with an attack on both Hizbollah in south Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza and West Bank, Iran will be drawn in due to their mutual assistance treaty with Syria thus providing the casus belli for the US to attack Iran. Even if Iran held its ground as Syria was attacked the propaganda machine would shift into top gear and tell the world that Iran is preparing some kind of action against the west giving the Americans the excuse they need to bomb Iran.

The peoples of the world should be out on the streets – a Final Confrontation between the West and Iran will make what has happened in Iraq pale into insignificance.

SO, WHO ARE THE REAL ‘TERRORISTS’ OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY? - PART ONE.

The word ‘terrorist’ gets bandied around a lot these days. It’s been around for a while in modern post-Second World War times and has been used against all types of groups and people ranging from the activists of the Provisional IRA in Northern Ireland to the separatist Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka. But since 9/11 it has been almost exclusively used in the mainstream media and by right-wing commentators to describe Arab and Islamist fighters that have dared to raise their hand against the US, Israel or any of their Western allies.

Palestinians who defend themselves against Israeli Zionist aggression and persecution are labelled ‘terrorists’ and the various organisations that they belong to are referred to as ‘terrorist organisations’. Hizbollah fighters, who for years fought against the Israeli occupation of south Lebanon, are called ‘terrorists’ and Hizbollah itself is designated a ‘terrorist organisation’ by six nations: Israel, the US, the UK, Australia, Canada and the Netherlands.

There are, of course, many other Islamic organisations around the world that have also been labelled ‘terrorist organisations’ and their members, therefore, are also labelled ‘terrorists’. Even Iraqi insurgents have been labelled ‘terrorists’ by the US and their allies.

Islamic fighters that have not been identified as belonging to specific groups or organisations are usually pigeon-holed into the catchall ‘al Qaeda’ terrorist slot regardless of whether they are actually al Qaeda ‘members’ or not. Fighters that fall into this category include non-Iraqi Arab and other foreign Islamic fighters that have found their way into Iraq to help the Iraqi resistance rid their country of the US and other ‘Coalition of the Willing’ invaders. In short, the word ‘terrorist’ has become a propaganda euphemism used predominately by the US, Israel and their Western allies to denote and identify those that they consider to be ‘the enemy’ in their conveniently titled ‘Global War on Terrorism’.

The US and their allies have also very carefully cast those that they view as ‘terrorists’ into a specific mould. Taking great care to avoid using actual officially recognised definitions of ‘terrorism’ and ‘terrorists’, the US and their allies instead use a comparative model within which to frame those that the US and their allies tell us are ‘terrorists’. During public discussion and speeches the word ‘they’ is often used. It is a collective term usually used just after the word ‘terrorist’ or ‘terrorism’ has just been used, and is used to distinguish ‘them’ from ‘us’. Most people for example would be familiar with the phrase often used in speeches by coalition leaders; “’They’ do not have the same values as ‘us’”. The word ‘values’ is cleverly invoked here because all peoples instinctively value their own ‘values’ above other people’s values but, while realising that people do have different values that are not necessarily any worse or better than ours, when the word is used in a derogatory context, such as in defining an enemy, the immediate implication is that the ‘enemy’ is somehow inferior to ‘us’.

Israel has a tendency to invoke the word ‘terrorist’ in a most vehement and extreme way to describe Palestinians that resist Israeli occupation in the West Bank and who resist Israeli aggression and incursions into the Gaza Strip. As previously mentioned, Hizbollah in Lebanon are also referred to by Israel as ‘terrorists’. All actions by either the various Palestinian resistance organisations or Hizbollah are referred to exclusively as ‘terrorist’ activity. The use of the word in this context is designed to demonise those that the word is used against. The word ‘terrorist’ is the antithesis of the term ‘freedom fighter’ or ‘resistance fighter’, both terms that are used predominately throughout the Arab and Islamic world to denote those that the West define as ‘terrorists’.

But for all of the West’s propaganda and rhetoric when invoking the term ‘terrorist’, are those that they label ‘terrorist’ any more ‘terrorist’ than the soldiers of the forces of the US, Israel and their allies? Indeed, could not the actions of the forces of the US, Israel and their allies be far more appropriately labelled ‘terrorist’ when one considers the more destructive and murderous activities that US, Israeli and allied forces engage in within the territories that they occupy or strike in to?

Palestinian resistance fighters in the Gaza lob Kassam missiles toward some of the Israeli townships that are within range, mostly in the Negev. They do it in the hope that Israelis will become so fed up with this that they will curtail their activities of aggression in the occupied territories of the West Bank and the Gaza. Most Kassam rockets, which have no guidance system, fall harmlessly in the desert. Every now and then, one or two hit a building and occasionally kill or injure an Israeli civilian. The Israelis label those that both organise and launch the rockets as ‘terrorists’. It should be noted here, however, that the Palestinian attacks against Israel are in RESPONSE to Israeli aggression and not, as the Israelis attempt to portray, acts of aggression from the Palestinians that the Israelis are responding to.

Remember, it is the Israelis that have pushed the Palestinians off of their lands and it is the Israelis that occupy the West Bank and it is the Israelis that have sealed off the Gaza creating an oppressive massive ghetto into which they can launch indiscriminate attacks against resisting Palestinians at any time often killing many innocent civilians. Indeed, it should be noted that far more innocent Palestinian civilians are killed by Israeli terrorists launching attacks inside the Gaza than there are Israelis killed by Palestinian fighters who are resisting Israeli terrorism.


There is another aspect of Israeli operations against Palestinian resistance that would attract instantaneous outcry from Western leaders and the Western mainstream media if the Palestinians perpetrated the same activity against Israel. And that is so-called ‘targeted assassinations’. Can one imagine the reaction if, say, the Palestinians had a guided weapon that that they could use anywhere in Israel and strike down any Israeli politician or senior IDF personnel at will? Can you imagine how the US and the Western world would react if the Palestinians killed, say, Israeli Defence Force Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi in a ‘targeted assassination’? Would such an attack against an Israeli responsible for the deaths of scores of Palestinians be considered any the less a ‘terrorist’ attack than the ‘targeted assassination’ of the wheelchair-bound spiritual leader of Hamas, Sheik Ahmed Yassin, in March 2004? Such an action by Palestinians would not be tolerated by the West and instantly labelled as ‘terrorist’ yet when the Israelis commit the same terrorist act against an old and frail man in a wheelchair it is applauded. This is staggering hypocrisy, yet so many in the West whose minds have been numbed by the relentless propaganda espousing the self-righteousness of the West are unable to see it.

Ever since the Israelis began the ethnic cleansing of Palestine they have always used ‘self-defence’ to excuse their own terrorist activities while accusing those that have fought back as being ‘terrorists’ themselves. The Israelis believe that because their terrorists are part of the bona fide military force of a sovereign nation that the label of terrorist cannot be applied to them. There are two problems with this misconception when it comes to considering what are and what are not terrorist acts. First, the legitimate forces of a sovereign nation have certain legal obligations under international law, many of which Israel has contravened. Secondly, there are many questions of morality that must also be considered when invoking the label ‘terrorist’ and, again, Israel cannot be considered to have acted morally when launching targeted assassinations and killing innocent civilians and many children. Nor can they be considered to have acted morally when collectively destroying the homes and agricultural and horticultural facilities of entire families and communities as they have done in the West Bank and the Gaza. These are both illegal and immoral activities that, had the Palestinians done this to the Israelis, would be considered terrorist acts.

For the Israelis there may well be a third problem that will arise as the unintended consequence of US policy relating to the declaration that a sovereign nation’s defence force arm is a terrorist organisation. If the US pushes through their threatened legislation declaring the Iranian Revolutionary Guards a ‘terrorist organisation’ then the precedent will be set for any nation to call the legitimate forces of any other nation a terrorist organisation – including Israel’s enemies declaring the IDF a ‘terrorist organisation’.


Part two will take the discussion further by examining in closer detail why Western forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, including mercenaries, can also be considered as ‘terrorists’.

THE ANTI-IRAN PROPAGANDA FRENZY.

AHMADINEJAD SAYS THERE ARE NO GAYS IN IRAN; ANOTHER REASON WHY WE NEED TO NUKE IRAN AND KILL HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THEIR PEOPLE RIGHT NOW!

As if to demonstrate how ridiculous the propaganda and rhetoric against Iran has become, the extreme right-wing warmongering neoconservatives, Israeli Lobby lunatics and their supporting commentators in the mainstream press are having a ball at the expense of some of Ahmadinejad’s more outrageous remarks. Some neocon editors are even implying that, if Ahmadinejad is fibbing about there being no gays in Iran, then he must be fibbing about Iran not pursuing nuclear weapons.

Talk about desperate!

Think about this from a different angle; if Ahmadinejad were to drop dead today would that make what the US and Israel see as a problem go away? Would the death of Ahmadinejad cause peace to break out throughout the Middle East? Of course not; but, judging by the way the extreme right-wing in the US and Israel are carrying on at the moment, you’d be forgiven for thinking it would.

All that the right-wing in the Western media is saying about Ahmadinejad’s propaganda and rhetoric is – you’ve guessed it – just propaganda and rhetoric. The US neocons and the Israeli Zionists have been carrying on about Iran and its so-called ‘nuclear ambitions’ ever since the Iranians kicked the US-backed fascist Shah out of Iran and long before Ahmadinejad became President, and the US neocons and Israeli Zionists will be carrying on about Irans so-called ‘nuclear ambitions’ long after he’s gone – even if he dropped dead today.

The geo-political reality is simple; this right-wing US neocon and Israeli Zionist propaganda feeding frenzy is nothing more than just another excuse to demonise Iran and its leaders in order to gain public support for an attack against Iran so that Israel can have a free hand to realise its long held dream of a Greater Israel at the expense of the Palestinian people in the Gaza, the West Bank, the Golan Heights and, so they hope, even in south Lebanon up to the Litani River. It’s not about ‘nuclear weapons’ and it’s not about Ahmadinejad. IT IS ABOUT ISRAELI ZIONIST DREAMS FOR A ‘GREATER ISRAEL’ – NOTHING ELSE!

‘FINAL CONFRONTATION’ NEWS

IT’S BEGINNING TO LOOK AS THOUGH ISRAEL’S RAID ON SYRIA’S ‘NUCLEAR’ FACILITIES DIDN’T HAPPEN AFTER ALL.

A raid of some sort happened but it seems that various US intelligence analysts agree that it wasn’t on any Syrian ‘nuclear’ facility; mainly on account that they don’t actually have one besides the small Chinese supplied facility that they’ve had for years that produces isotopes for medical research, etc.

Someone who pushes the buttons at the US/Israel propaganda factory must have realised that the ‘nuclear Syria’ fairy story was pushing the propaganda envelope just a little too far and Israel were very wise in not confirming anything officially and doing what they did do and that is fly a proverbial kite with ‘nuclear Syria’ on it and see how high that goes.

It didn’t go very high. If Syria had a ‘nuclear weapons facility’ Israel would have made sure that the world knew about it a long, long time ago. They must have also quickly realised that the logistics of getting a raiding party into a high security facility, lifting a load of ‘hot’ nuke stuff and sneaking it away back to Israel and then getting the place destroyed by an air strike is pure delusional James Bond fantasy.

It now seems the raid was more about Korean missiles being supplied to the Syrians. Of course they are not just any old missiles; these are supposed to be equipped with chemical weapons so we are still back with the old ‘they’ve got Weapons of Mass Destruction!’ cry from the Israelis and the US, ignoring entirely that fact that both Israel and the US also have WMDs.


THE ISRAEL LOBBY WORK OVERTIME PROMOTING ‘NATIONAL HATE WEEK’ IN THE U.S.

William Kristol of The Weekly Standard has been doing his bit, yet again, helping the Israel Lobby in promoting hatred of Iran and its visiting President Ahmadinejad who is in the US for the United Nations assembly. Kristol has advised via a piece in his neocon comic that Israel supporters should boycott all of Ahmadinejad’s engagements while visiting the US. Kristol and his Israeli Lobby cronies wouldn’t want anyone to hear about what Ahmadinejad and the Iranian people really have to say about what’s going on in the Middle East.


AHMADINEJAD HAS AT LEAST ONE ISRAELI COMMENTATOR WORRIED!

Shmuel Rosner writing in Ha’aretz reckons that Israel is the big loser over Ahmadinejad’s speech to Columbia University during his visit to the US. He argues that, while there are plenty of Jewish protestors at the university making a lot of noise against him, there are a lot of Americans that are willing to listen and hear him out. It is these that that the Israeli Lobby are really worried about – the protestors are already ‘converted’; most Americans, already fed up with the war in Iraq, may easily shy away from more war against Iran if they are persuaded by Ahmadinejad’s argument that the problem is Israel and only Israel; not the US.

ISRAEL CRANKS UP THE RHETORIC FOR THE ‘FINAL CONFRONTATION’ WITHOUT SAYING A THING!

What with Syria being a de facto member of the ‘Axis of Evil’ because of its association with Iran, it was inevitable that sooner or later North Korea, a fully paid up member of the ‘Axis of Evil’, would be linked with Syria via its dabbling in nuclear stuff and that Israel would exploit that link to the hilt as it cranks up the propaganda and rhetoric in the lead up to an attack on both Iran and Syria in its push for the ‘Final Confrontation’.

The world should get to grips with reality here; Syria has not got nuclear weapons and there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever to even suggest that it has even got any kind of nuclear program on paper let alone any facilities to store nuclear material coming in from North Korea. If it had Israel would have let the world know about it yonks ago.

Step back and take a look at the bigger picture. Apart from a small Chinese supplied facility that produces isotopes for medicine and research, there has, until now, been absolutely nothing connecting Syria in anyway whatsoever with anything ‘nuclear’ – absolutely nothing. For all the years Israel has been going on about ‘Syria this’ and ‘Syria that’ in Lebanon, there has never ever been any mention of Syria having anything to do with nuclear energy. Yet now, all of a sudden, Israel is leaking it that they bombed a Syrian nuclear facility that was being supplied by North Korea right at a time when the US and Israel are cranking up the rhetoric for a push against Iran – and the rest of the world is expected to believe this stuff . Punch out a few keywords like ‘nuclear’, ‘North Korea’, ‘Syria’, etc., and Voila! you have instant propaganda without admitting to anything. But all of a sudden we have a Syria that is in pursuit of nuclear weapons.

One wonders how the world would react if a few Syrian MiG29s flew down to Dimona in the Negev dessert in Israel and bombed Israel’s nuclear facilities there. They could fly there, do the deed and be back at their base within forty minutes.


UPDATE

In case anyone was wondering about how irresponsible it would be for the Israelis to bomb a facility containing nuclear material with the resultant likely to be the potential contamination of vast areas of the Middle East including possibly even Israel, a new story has been ‘leaked’ that Israeli special ground forces snuck in to the facility before the air raid and ran off with the nuclear material just prior to the facility being bombed.

We are expected to believe this garbage? Do they honestly believe that people don’t consider the logistics involved in pulling off a stunt like that.

How did these ‘special forces get into Syria (and right over on the other side of Syria)? How did they get into the facility? How did they get out of the facility? How did they get out of Syria? How did they remove the nuclear material? In what? How did they know what special containers were needed to transport the nuclear material? And last but not least, why didn’t these ’special ground forces’ set explosives to blow the facility up while they were there? And, of course, the big question that no one seems to have asked yet: Where is the nuclear material that was taken by the Israelis now?

Israel has gone overboard in trying to expose to the world the nuclear facilities that Iran has yet we’ve heard absolutely nothing from Israel about Syria’s so-called nuclear facilities.

Does anyone really believe this stuff?

MORE FRAUD AND DECEPTIONS AT WEBDIARY!!

It’s a very small world that the nauseatingly patronising fraud Eliot Ramsey of Webdiary fame lives in. Yesterday (19 September) a person calling herself Susan Moy joined the ranks of Webdiarists and takes up an instantly lively discussion with the so-called Eliot Ramsey about the artist Peter Kingston. Webdiary editor Fiona Reynolds had her curiosity aroused and so does a bit of background checking on the mysterious ‘Susan Moy’ only to discover that the real Susan Moy had had her identity usurped by someone pretending to be her.

After having read this I decided that I might have quick ‘Google’ myself of the mysterious Susan Moy. Within moments I discovered that Susan Moy is the Festival Publicist for the 2007 Manly Arts Festival and that – and this is the real spooky bit – none other than Chris Parsons, who mysteriously disappeared from Webdiary just days before Eliot Parsons… er, I mean Ramsey appeared on the scene, is the Communications Officer for the same event!

How long, one wonders, will Margo Kingston continue to allow this obvious fraudster to keep posting his obfuscating garbage at Webdiary?

'FINAL CONFRONTATION' NEWS.

U.N. FINALLY WARNS ISRAEL THAT CUTTING FUEL TO THE GAZA BREACHES INTERNATIONAL LAW.

I wrote two weeks ago about Israel’s plans to cut off fuel supplies to the Gaza suggesting that what they were about to do constitutes a war crime. It now seems that the Israelis are going ahead with their plans to deprive the Gazan people of desperately need fuel having declared that the Gaza is ‘an enemy entity’ and ‘hostile territory’. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in a statement released yesterday has urged Israel to reconsider their position reminding them that they would be in violation of international law if they went ahead with their proposal. Since the Israelis consider themselves to be at war with Hamas, punishing the Gazan people in order to deliver a blow to Hamas is not just a ‘breach in international law’, it is an actual war crime whereby a collective punishment is being administered to the Gazan people because they are governed by Hamas.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s office has released a statement saying “Hamas is a terrorist organization that has taken control of the Gaza Strip and turned it into hostile territory,” and that “This organization engages in hostile activity against the State of Israel and its citizens and bears responsibility for this activity.” It should be noted that in fact Hamas had not ‘taken control’ of the Gaza Strip, they had already been given control of what is left of Palestine by the Palestinian people themselves in a democratic election that saw Hamas romp home well ahead of the corrupt Fatah organisation. It should also be noted that the Gaza Strip has been turned into ‘hostile territory’ not by Hamas but by Israel itself that continues its murderous incursions into the Strip, and that the use of rockets by Hamas and other resistance organisations is in an attempt to discourage further Israeli aggression in the Gaza and West Bank.


ISRAEL FINALLY ADMITS WHAT THE WORLD ALREADY KNOWS – IT DID FLY INTO SYRIAN AIRSPACE.

However, they still won’t say what the purpose of the raid was and the Syrians aren’t helping by being quiet about what happened while Israeli aircraft were in their skies. Benjamin Netanyahu, by openly congratulating Prime Minister Olmert on the operation, has at least confirmed that the raid over Syria did take place.

Sol Salbe gives an interesting analysis of what he thinks it was all about but, until the Syrians open up and tell us their version, we are unlikely to know for sure what happened any time soon. Suffice to say that it no doubt has a great deal to do with Israel’s preparation for the Final Confrontation.


WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM THE DEATH OF A LEBANESE FASCIST POLITICIAN IF THE FINGER OF BLAME WAS POINTED TOWARD THE SYRIANS?

The death of Lebanese politician Antoine Ghanem of the Christian Phalange Party by a car bomb has raised tensions against Syria up another notch. While Ghanem was anti-Syrian, the Syrians would in no way have benefited by his death – especially in these times when Israel are just looking for every excuse to pounce on Syria – which, of course, begs the question; who does stand to benefit by Ghanem’s death? Who are the renowned experts in the use of car bombs having nigh-on invented them when they first used them in Palestine on 12 January 1947?

THE ISRAELIS CONTINUE THEIR EFFORTS TO PROVOKE WAR.

Israeli jets have again flown into Lebanese airspace this time at speeds faster than sound creating sonic booms designed to increase fear and to intimidate. These are the same tactics that were used prior to last years war against Hizbollah and the Lebanese people when Hizbollah retaliated by launching Katyusha rockets into Israel and capturing two of Israel’s soldiers thus giving Israel the casus belli it was looking for in order to launch a full scale attack against the Lebanese people. Now the Israelis are trying the same again in the hope that Hizbollah will once again give Israel cause to launch an all-out attack against them in yet another attempt to entice Syria and then Iran and the US into the ‘Final Confrontation’. It now seems clear that Israel’s foray into Syria some two weeks ago failed to ignite the war that they seek.

Historically Israel has always sought to find a casus belli before launching attacks against their Arab and Middle Eastern neighbours. They have always claimed that their actions have been in response to provocations made against them and that they are merely retaliating and defending themselves. This kind of deceit was practiced in 1947 when the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian peoples from their homes and lands began in earnest, and it continues today as they launch their raids into the West Bank, the Gaza and south Lebanon to kill and capture those that resist their expansionist aggression as they pursue their dreams of a Greater Israel.

Just as during the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians in 1947 onwards, the Zionists kept the Israeli people in constant fear by invoking the memories of the Holocaust and the prospect of another if they did not strike down their enemies, so today those same tactics of fear of a second Holocaust keeps the Israeli people in line to support the right-wing Zionists pursuit of a Greater Israel at the expense of the Palestinian people. This time it is the fear of an Iranian nuclear holocaust that motivates Israeli support for the Zionists dreams.

The reality is that Iran has no nuclear weapons and nor is there a skerrick of evidence to even suggest that they have or will have at anytime and, therefore, Iran is no threat to the Israelis nor anyone else. However, Iran does support the Palestinian, Lebanese and Syrian people’s right to reclaim that which is theirs and to defend themselves against Israeli aggression. The myth of Iranian nuclear weapons serves only to keep the ordinary Israeli people in fear so that the Zionists can continue to rely on their support and, at the same time, provide an excuse to eventually go to war against Iran.

It’s time the world woke up to the lies that are the propaganda and rhetoric of the neocons and Zionists and took note of the geo-political reality of the Zionists dreams of a Greater Israel and a Western hegemony over the resource-rich Middle East. The reality is that it is the US and Israel that are on ground that doesn’t belong to them and that it is the US and Israel that have nuclear weapons and that it is they who are the real threat to world peace.
Tell your government no matter where you are that you want no part of any more wars.

THE FINAL CONFRONTATION: THE COMING WAR BETWEEN THE ISRAELI-U.S. ALLIANCE AND IRAN AND SYRIA.

The long awaited and much heralded war between the Israeli-US alliance and Iran and Syria now seems imminent. It’s not a matter of ‘if’ but simply a matter of ‘when’.

The point that seems to have been missed by most observers is the fact that it was never a matter of ‘if’ and always a matter of ‘when’. The war has, ever since the fall of the Shah in 1979, been utterly inevitable and virtually unavoidable. It would seem, however, that most observers fell for the propaganda and rhetoric that war between Israel-US and Iran could have been avoided had Iran given up its nuclear weapons ambitions. This was never the case. The coming ‘final confrontation’ was never ever about ‘nuclear weapons’; it has always been about ‘regime change’. It was never anything else.

For the Israelis and the right-wing of US politics the need for ‘regime change’ is simple; Iran under the present regime is the major stumbling block to right-wing Israeli Zionist dreams of creating a Greater Israel. Iran supports Syria; Iran and Syria supports Hizbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in the Gaza and West Bank. With Iran out of the equation Syria will quickly capitulate to Israeli demands of abandoning their support for Hamas and Hizbollah and any other anti-Israeli pro-Palestinian groups, and then, in turn, Hamas and Hizbollah resistance to Israeli expansionism in pursuit of their ‘Greater Israel’ dream will simply crumble then disappear.

Or at least so the Zionists hope.

There is a big problem with the Israeli-US plan. The people that are pushing the plan to knock Iran out of the picture via a massive blow to their ability to wage any kind of war, i.e., the Bush administration and their neocon cohorts in Washington and the Zionists in Jerusalem, are exactly the same people that came up with the plan to knock Iraq out of the picture. These are exactly the same people that told the world that victory in Iraq will be a ‘cakewalk’ and that the people of Iraq will welcome the US as ‘great liberators’ casting rose petals at the feet of US soldiers as they march up the road to Baghdad. These are exactly the same people who told us that ‘smart weapons’ will eliminate collateral damage and not harm the innocent people of Iraq. These are exactly the same people who, after over a million Iraqis have been killed and another four million pushed from their homes, are saying that ‘things are improving’ in Iraq.

Now these exact same people are telling us that a devastating blow against Iran is all it will take for the people of Iran to rise up against their government and, again, the world is expected to believe them.

The exact same people that bought us the catastrophic mess that is now Iraq now want the world to accept the inevitability of a Final Confrontation against Iran – and the most horrifying aspect of all this is; most of the world will do absolutely nothing to stop it.

THE US-NEOCON-ISRAELI COALITION CRANK UP THE ANTE BY INVOKING THE DREADED ‘N’ WORD AGAINST SYRIA.

Neoconservative warmonger, John Bolton, ex-unendorsed US ambassador to the UN and now ‘scholar’ at neocon HQ, the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), has upped the ante against Syria who seem to be the hate targets by the Western right-wing media this month, right up there with Iran, by claiming that “North Korea may be using Syria and Iran as ‘safe havens’ for its nuclear activities”.

It was just a matter of time before the US-Neocon-Israeli propaganda machine started accusing Syria of being involved with the nuclear ambitions of the ‘Axis of Evil’. It has even been suggested in the ‘Washington Post’ that last weeks Israeli Air Force illegal foray into Syrian airspace was ‘nuclear’ related. The information used to make the accusation, according to the ‘Washington Post’ article, was unsurprisingly, sourced from Israeli intelligence.

Over the last few months there has been no let up on pressure from the extreme right-wing US-neocon-Israeli alliance to persuade the Bush administration to bomb Iran because of its so-called ‘nuclear program’. The accusation, however, that Syria somehow is also involved in Iran and North Koreas ‘nuclear ambitions’ brings a new dimension to the propaganda and rhetoric that the US-neocon-Israeli alliance are using in the build up to what can only be described as the ‘final confrontation’ between the US-Israel alliance and Iran and Syria, the last two hurdles that are preventing, because of their support to Hamas and Hizbollah, the Israeli dream of a Greater Israel at the expense of the Palestinian and south Lebanese peoples.

The recent activities of the Israeli Defence Forces has put a new perspective on the reasons for last months massive fuel order from Israel requesting some 90 million US gallons of JP-8 military jet fuel and some 42 million gallons of military diesel fuel. The last time Israel ordered anywhere near that amount of fuel was just prior to its invasion of south Lebanon last year.

Something big is in the air – and last weeks air ‘strike’ against Syria is just the start of it. It’s just a matter of time before the ‘Final Confrontation’ befalls the hapless peoples of the Middle East – Arab and Israeli.

WEBDIARY’S FRAUDSTER, ELIOT RAMSEY/C. PARSONS, EXPOSED AGAIN !

It was only a matter of time before the fraud Eliot Ramsey repeats words and phraseology that is peculiar almost exclusively to the C. Parsons syntax – yet again. Today at Webdiary he writes: “Well, they may need that aid at home soon, because looky here…”, while on 13 July 2006 he writes: “So, looky here…”.

Beats me why Margo Kingston allows this obvious fraudster to keep posting at Webdiary while banning other Webdiarists like Phil Kendall whose sincerity and compassion for what goes on in this world far outstrips the extreme right-wing patronising cynicism of fraudsters like Parsons/Ramsey…. unless, of course, Kingston is part of the fraud herself. Her hypocrisy about ‘ethical journalism’, etc., as demonstrated by her recent displays of nepotism and earlier deceits are now well known, so why not be party to the Parsons/Ramsey fraud as well!?

TERRORIST TRAINING CAMPS FOR FOREIGN FIGHTERS IN ISRAEL!

A recent article in the UKs ‘New Statesman’ journal has highlighted the existence of a youth military training camp in Israel. The trainees are Jewish youths who come mainly from Europe and the America’s every summer to learn the basics of military life in the Israeli Defence Forces.

The existence of the camp once again highlights the hypocrisy of the West which constantly condemns the existence of similar camps run by Islamic nations for foreign Arab and Islamic fighters. Western propaganda and rhetoric decries the Islamic training camps as ‘terrorist’ training camps while Israel claim they are training Jewish fighters to ‘defend’ Israel. The reality is; it is Israelis that are on land that is not theirs. They are not ‘defending’ Israel at all but rather they are helping Israeli Zionists create a Greater Israel at the expense of the Palestinian people while the Arab and Islamic fighters are defending their lands from Israeli and US invasions, occupations and theft of their resources.

Hypocrisy and arrogance; just two of the values that ‘they’ hate about ‘us’.

NETANYAHU’S USE OF THE HITLER ANALOGY ABOUT IRAN IS A REFLECTION OF ZIONISM’S OWN NAZI-LIKE POLICIES AGAINST THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE.

There is a certain irony, even hypocrisy, in the way that Israel’s leader of the opposition, the extreme right-wing Zionist Benjamin Netanyahu, uses the Hitler analogy when discussing Iran and the threat that Netanyahu proclaims Iran is to Israel. Speaking at a ‘counter terrorism’ conference yesterday he again told his audience that Iran was as much of a threat to the ‘Jewish population’ as Hitler was to the Jews of Europe in 1939 saying: “One year ago, I said we are in 1938, and Iran is Germany. It is 1939 now. Hitler first embarked on a world conflict, and then attempted to obtain weapons of mass death. Ahmadinejad is going about it in the reverse order”.

The reality, however, is completely the opposite; Ahmadinejad and Iran are doing nothing of the sort. In fact it is Israel that has succeeded in obtaining weapons of mass death and it is Israel, together with the US and their other allies, which have embarked on ‘world conflict’ against the peoples of Islam. It is the extreme right-wing Zionists that are behaving most like the Nazis of Europe that Netanyahu speaks of, and it is the Palestinians that are the people that the Ziononazis of Israel continue to persecute as they pursue their racist dream of a Greater Israel completing that which they set out to achieve in 1948 and that is to ethnically cleanse the Palestinian peoples from their lands just as the Nazis attempted, and in many places succeeded, in ethnically cleansing the Jews from Europe.

Just as the Nazis attempt to ethnically cleanse Jews from Europe ended in disaster for both Europe’s Jews and the German people then so the Ziononazis attempt at cleansing the Palestinian people from Palestine will also end in disaster for both the Palestinian and Israeli people.

It’s time the world stood up against the Ziononazis and the likes of Netanyahu and his Zionist thugs before it is too late – not just for the Palestinian people, but also for the ordinary people of Israel who just want to live in peace and security and in harmony with their neighbours.

SHATTERING THE MYTHS AND ILLUSIONS OF BIN LADEN AND 9/11

It’s amazing how seemingly ordinary intelligent people continue to believe what they feel they need to believe even when confronted with evidence that so glaringly contradicts those beliefs. Such is the case today among many people who continue to believe in the existence of Osama bin Laden and who continue to believe that he and Saddam Hussein were the perpetrators of the events of 11 September 2001; this despite the overwhelming body of evidence that says bin Laden is very unlikely to be alive, let alone continuing to organise terrorism, and that neither he nor Saddam Hussein had anything to do with 9/11 as demonstrated by the recent exposure of evidence regarding the events of 9/11.

The belief that Saddam Hussein had a hand in the 9/11 is now diminishing even among the mainstream media, though there are still some around who would insist that he did play a part. However, the mainstream media are still insisting that Osama bin Laden is both alive and well and also still at the helm of ‘al Qaeda’ as his recent ‘resurrection’ on video demonstrates.

As I have noted many times before, bin Laden’s death was well reported at the time, though not widely, in the mainstream media but they since seem to have very conveniently forgotten it. Fortunately, thanks to the wonders of the computer age, those original reports still exist and cannot be denied. The reports, however, were never conclusive; there was never any body shown or found and little is known about where he was buried. The reports were based on eye-witness accounts and circumstantial evidence with regards to his health, which is well documented, and his inability to receive the kind of sophisticated treatment he would need in order to survive his ill-health.

The mainstream media have clearly decided that because his death was not totally verifiable that it is safe to continue to perpetuate the myth of his existence at the behest of the US government and its agencies. In order to support the claims of bin Laden’s continued existence and active leadership of ‘al Qaeda’ there occasionally ‘surfaces’ an audio or video recording of him. Over the years there have been several of both. ‘Experts’, so we are told, proclaim that these tapes, audio and video, are indeed of bin Laden, but when we examine who these ‘experts’ are we find that they are ‘government experts’. No names and qualifications are attached to the statements about the tapes alleged authenticity; we are simply expected to believe what we are told without any evidence to support these statements. Questions about their authenticity are then dismissed as being ‘conspiratorial’ or simply ignored.

But, while the questions can be ignored, the reality of the evidence cannot. In the latest video that has emerged the most obvious question is regarding bin Ladens somewhat wooden and sterile appearance. While there is a resemblance to bin Laden, there are some physical detail features which do not correspond with his known physical features, the most obvious of which is his beard. Naturally, those that defend his existence would argue that he has merely trimmed and dyed his beard. The counter-argument to that would simply be ‘Why?’ If it were for the sake of vanity, why had he not tidied himself up before allowing himself to be filmed in the past? Besides, is vanity really part of bin Laden’s purported creed? But no amount of trimming and dying the beard can mask the fact that the real bin Laden’s facial hair growth is thin and wispy in places particularly in those areas where the beard has whitened. In the latest video purported to be of him, his beard is shown as being of consistent growth and density. But the real giveaway is the physical facial features. They are not immediately discernable and can only be seen upon close examination and become obvious when pointed out. The real bin Laden’s nose has a relatively medium but constant thickness ridge from top to tip, apart from where it flares gently to his nostrils. In the latest film the top of the nose of the person purported to be him is markedly much thinner. While a change in health could change many features, only surgery could change this one. Despite the compelling evidence to the contrary there are still those that continue to go along with what they are told by the mainstream media.

One needs to ask why it is that people, even when presented with all the evidence, continue and persist to believe in things that the evidence says are wrong. The propagandists behind the latest presentation of ‘bin Laden’ rely on the vast majority of people simply accepting that which is presented to them. They hope that most will not question it and not delve into the details or examine too closely the questions raised by those that do scrutinise them.

For some apparently ordinary and intelligent people there seems to be a psychological barrier that goes up that prevents them from even taking a look at the evidence presented to them. There seems to be a steadfast refusal to accept the reality of that which is contrary to their entrenched belief system and, no matter how strong the evidence, they will still refuse to accept the glaringly obvious simply and solely because they find it so totally disruptive of their belief system and faith in the political and social construct of the society they live in. For them to accept the simple reality of the evidence of a fake bin Laden and a 9/11 that so obviously was not as the government said it was would mean that all that they had ever believed in all of their lives about democratic government ‘for the people and by the people’ would be destroyed. The illusion of ‘freedom and democracy’ would be shattered.

The release of the latest ‘bin Laden’ tape is designed to perpetuate the myth of the ‘Global War on Terror’ and to remind the West of who the ‘enemy’ is but, while the majority of western people will continue to accept the myth as a reality, the numbers of people around the world that no longer accept the myth as reality are growing daily. It is imperative that we shatter the myths and illusions because, until we do, we are doomed to live in a world that will slowly end up destroying itself.

MORE ‘BIN LADEN’ GARBAGE FROM THE NEOCON FEAR-MONGERS!

Neoconservative war crazies Rita Katz and Josh Devon of the SITE Group in the US claim that a new tape of Osama bin Laden will be aired on 11 September (next Tuesday). The picture of bin Laden that they have published, inferring that it is a still grab from the tape, while resembling bin Laden, when compared with other known pictures of bin Laden, is in fact nothing like him. Basically the nose is all wrong.

Apart from that of course, there is also the small matter of bin Laden’s death which was well reported at the time but has since been conveniently forgotten.

Let the two-minute hate session begin. Watch out for pictures of Osama bin Emmanuel Goldstein Laden in a newspaper and TV station near you any day now – just in case you’d forgotten what he looked like (in fact, they’re banking on it!)

WHERE ARE THE MASSES OF THE WORLD? WHY ARE THEY NOT ON THE STREETS DEMANDING AND END TO THE MADNESS?

In the months prior to the invasion of Iraq by the US, Britain, Australia and their allies, millions of people all over the world took to the streets to implore their respective governments not to support the war the people knew for sure was coming. But with total disregard to the voices of the peoples of the world the US and their allies pressed ahead with their invasion anyway.

Today, some four and a half years later, with nigh on a million Iraqis dead and another four million unable to live in their homes, the world is bracing itself for yet another unprovoked war against yet another nation that stands in the way of Israeli Zionist dreams of a Greater Israel; a Greater Israel that they hope will consist of the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, the Golan Heights and south Lebanon up to the Litani River, a dream which Iraq once stood in the way of.

The US and Israel are now desperate for ‘regime change’ in Iran and do not care about the cost in terms of human life just so long as the US end up with hegemony over the supply of the regions oil and gas resources and Israel is able to achieve its aspirations for a Greater Israel.

But as the inevitability of war against Iran now approaches, one has to ask; where are the masses in the streets as there were before the invasion of Iraq? Has the fact that Bush, Blair and Howard and their allies ignored the voice of the peoples of the world last time they wanted ‘regime change’ made protest against war seem futile? The need for the peoples of the world to protest war is even more imperative now than ever it has been before.

STOP BUSH, CHENEY, THE RIGHT-WING ISRAELI ZIONISTS AND THEIR NEOCONSERVATIVE COHORTS NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

ORGANISE MASS PROTEST IN YOUR CITY!!

DO IT NOW!!

I IMPLORE ALL BLOGGERS TO REPRODUCE AND RUN THIS SHORT ARTICLE ON THEIR BLOGS.

ISRAEL CONSIDERS COMMITTING A WAR CRIME AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF GAZA

According to a report in Israel’s Ha’aretz newspaper today the IDF are considering cutting off water and electricity supplies to the civilian population in the Gaza Strip as a measure against the Palestinian launching of Qassam rocket attacks on Israel.

For the IDF to counter Qassam attacks by firing at those that are launching the rocket attacks is one thing; however, to counter the rocket attacks by punishing an entire civilian population is a war crime. The crime that is about to be committed on the Gazan people by the Israelis is a crime that the people of the world should be outraged about.

This is the next stage in Israel’s war against the Palestinian people whereby, as I predicted in my 19 June post on this blog, the Israelis will bring such pressure to bear on the Gazan people that they will be forced to leave if provided an opportunity. The ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip continues. I can only repeat what I wrote before; the world needs to act and act now before disaster strikes the Palestinian people of the Gaza.

HOW THE GAZA STRIP FITS IN TO THE BIGGER PICTURE OF ISRAELI ZIONIST DREAMS

Clear away the Israeli, US and western mainstream media’s propaganda and rhetoric about Hamas and the Gaza Strip and the geo-political reality of Israeli Zionist intentions and aspirations, not just for the Gaza but for the entire region, are quickly revealed.

When Ariel Sharon decided to evacuate the 21 Israeli settlements that were on the Gaza Strip in August 2005 he didn’t do so because he suddenly felt generous and believed that the Palestinians should have their lands back. The reality, predictably, is far more prosaic; it was simply costing too much to maintain the security needed to look after just 8000 settlers living right next door to very hostile Palestinians whose lands they had settled on.

In May of 2000 Israel’s then Prime Minister, Ehud Barak, who today is Israel’s Defense Minister, pulled Israel out of south Lebanon after some 22 years of occupation for the same reason that Sharon pulled the settlers out of the Gaza. Barak’s withdrawal was ostensibly to comply with UN resolution 425 which had called for Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon back in 1978 shortly after Israel had invaded. Despite withdrawing from Lebanon, however, Israel continued to hang on to the Shebaa Farms – which the UN has deemed belongs to Lebanon – claiming this land was part of the Golan Heights which Israel had conquered when it invaded Syria in 1967.

Both of these apparent ‘concessions’ were in fact part of a cynical ruse. It has always been the belief of Israeli Zionists that a Greater Israel could realistically be created that would include the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, the Golan Heights and south Lebanon up to the Litani River. While the dream of the biblical Greater Israel extending from the ‘Nile to the Euphrates’ was always the ideal, most Zionists realised that it would remain but a dream. However, a Greater Israel extending from the Mediterranean to the River Jordan and from the Sinai to the Litani River is an ambition that many Zionists consider realistic today.

Over the last 40 years the realisation of that goal has been plagued with problems, not least of which is the Palestinian reluctance to surrender to the Zionists dreams. Ever since 1967 when Israel set out to conquer the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights and the Sinai Peninsula, the peoples they conquered fought back, with the exception of the Golan Heights. Today they continue to fight back. Various Palestinian groups, including Hamas, have dedicated themselves to retrieving all the lands they have lost to the Zionists. For Hamas that has, until very recently, included all of what is now Israel. However, of late Hamas have modified their demands demanding now that Israel withdraws entirely, including all settlements in the West Bank, back to the 1967 line. But it also demands a full right of return of all of the Palestinian refugees including their descendants back to their original lands in what is now Israel.

But therein lays the problem for Israel. The Palestinian’s demands are supported by Hizbollah in Lebanon. Hizbollah, in turn are supported by Iran and Syria. Israel, however, has spent years trying to turn this to their advantage. Using their close alliance with the US and the West, Israel have been promoting Iran and Syria, just as they did Iraq, as an enemy of the US and the West, and, of course, Israel. Once the West accept Iran and Syria as their enemies, as Israel hopes, so the Palestinian organisations that are supported by Iran and Syria, directly or indirectly, will also be seen as enemies of the West by association. Once the West accepts Palestinian resistance fighters as enemies in alliance with Iran and Syria it will provide Israel with the opportunity to deal with them in a way that will finally give them the excuse they need to transfer the Palestinians from the Gaza. The Israelis will then take over and occupy the Gaza and eventually annex it to Israel. Israel may then also exercise the so-called Jordan option whereby all Palestinians are transferred to Jordan, and the West Bank then also gets annexed to Israel.

The one thing that will not happen, regardless of what the Israelis are telling the world, is Palestine will never be a free independent sovereign state while the Israelis have anything to do with it. The current talks between Israel and their Palestinian puppet Abbas about ‘peace’ and a ‘Palestinian State’ are merely a tactic by the Israeli government to bide their time while Iran and Syria are set up as enemies of the West waiting to be attacked. Meanwhile the hype against Hamas, particularly in the Gaza, and Hizbollah in Lebanon will continue as the Israelis attempt to paint them with the same brush they are using to paint Iran and Syria with. Tensions in the Gaza, and the West Bank, between Hamas and Fatah elements are useful to Israel; it allows Israel to accuse Hamas of not wanting peace. This, of course, is nonsense; Hamas are fully aware of what Israel is up to and are simply not prepared to accept giving up their lands.

In order to alienate Hamas in the eyes of the Western world, Israel and the US, with the help of a compliant Western mainstream media, have attempted to show Hamas as an extremist and terrorist organisation and one that has ‘seized’ power in the Gaza. Forgotten entirely is the fact that Hamas never needed to ‘seize’ power; they were given it by the Palestinian people in the democratic elections of January 2006 and the only people that were attempting to seize power were Abbas and his Fatah supporters which they did in the West Bank with the support of the US and Israel. The old colonial tactic of divide and rule has proved successful. Israel now have Hamas exactly were they want them in the Gaza; ready to be taken out at any time by a more than capable Israeli military just as soon as they’ve been demonised enough in the eyes of the western world and when Israel and the US are ready to take on Iran and Syria in what is hoped to be the final showdown. It is in this context that the Gaza is essential to the Zionists plans for a Greater Israel.

BUSH POSSIBLE NO-SHOW AT APEC MEETING IS A BIT OMINOUS!!??

According to Greg Sheridan, neocon commentator with ‘The Australian’, President Bush might well be a no show at the up-coming APEC meeting in Australia early next month. One can only assume that he has something better to do – like maybe conduct a war?!!

BUSH PUTS IRAN BACK ON THE FRONT BURNER WITH THE HEAT FULL ON.

After a relatively quiet period of just gently simmering anti-Iran rhetoric and propaganda being on the back burner for a while, President George W. Bush, addressing the Annual National Convention of the American Legion, has now placed the Iran issue well and truly back on to the front burner with the heat full on. He has told the convention:

“…they [the Iranians] cannot escape responsibility for aiding attacks against coalition forces and the murder of innocent Iraqis. The Iranian regime must halt these actions. And until it does, I will take actions necessary to protect our troops. I have authorized our military commanders in Iraq to confront Tehran's murderous activities.”

The last part of this statement, authorizing military commanders in Iraq to confront Tehran’s ‘murderous’ activities, is an open ended invitation for the US military in the region, including the US navy battle group stationed close to Iran in the Persian Gulf, to attack Iran on the pretext of pre-emptive defence against Iranian operations in Iraq. To attack Iran’s nuclear facilities would require congressional approval, however, to attack Iran’s armed forces on the pretext of defending US servicemen in Iraq does not. After initial strikes against Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps the ‘confrontation’ could soon escalate to include other strategic strikes. Israel would then find some pretext to attack both Hizbollah and Syria knowing that Iran are too pre-occupied with fending off US attacks.

If this is the case then Israel’s recent fuel and ordnance purchases begin to make sense.

PERPETUATING THE MYTH OF OSAMA BIN LADEN, AL QAEDA AND THE ‘GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM’

It’s almost as if the Western allies maintain a think-tank somewhere whose sole job is to dream up garbage about Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda that can be fed to the dumb and gullible in regular doses in order to perpetuate the myth of their existence and therefore justify the continued ‘Global War on Terrorism’, a war which in itself has assumed mythical proportions.

In the latest ‘revelation’, designed to remind the dumb and gullible that the Western allies are still after him and, indeed, came close to catching him, we are expected to believe that: “US forces in Afghanistan came so close to discovering Osama bin Laden in the northern winter of 2004-05 that his bodyguards were on the verge of killing him to prevent his capture”. The evidence supporting this is… well, there isn’t any really; we’re just expected to believe it because we’re told it via the ever-reliable mainstream media – the same mainstream media that in 2001 were telling us that Osama bin Laden had died of various diseases and that Saddam Hussein had WMDs and was involved in 9/11.

News that the West at one stage were getting close to capturing bin Laden might also bolster the flagging support that Bush is receiving for the continuing ‘Global War on Terrorism’; support that is very badly needed since some 84% of Americans now believe they are not winning the ‘Global War on Terrorism’ and they believe that the US is less safe today than it has ever been.

It’s fast becoming apparent that the ‘Global War on Terrorism’ has turned to farce and looking more and more like a ‘Global War of Terrorism Against the World of Islam’. Six years after 9/11 and no one is interested anymore. Nothing, absolutely nothing, has been achieved. Billions of dollars have been spent, hundreds of thousands or maybe over a million lives have been lost, another four million are now homeless and there is still no end to it in sight.

And still they want to perpetuate the myth of Osama bin Laden, al Qaeda and the ‘Global War on Terrorism’. It’s time the world woke up to this nightmarish hoax and kicked out those that have foisted this disaster upon the world.


ISRAEL ORDERS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF MILITARY JET FUEL.

Israel has recently ordered $308 million worth of JP-8 military jet fuel. The last time Israel ordered anywhere near this amount of fuel was during the Lebanon war last year when it took delivery of some $210 million worth of fuel.

Besides the jet fuel, Israel has also ordered 30 Harpoon anti-ship missiles, 500 AIM-9M Sidewinder air to air missiles, and 200 AMRAAM medium range air to air missiles.

JP-8 jet fuel has a best used by shelf life of around two months though in ideal storage conditions and with additives it will last up to six months. It can be used well beyond that, say a year, but most jet jockeys, especially fighter pilot commanders, would insist on having fresh fuel that’s 100% reliable in sky battle conditions.

So, what’s all this fuel and ordnance for then?

MIKE LYVERS, THE ISRAELI LOONY LOBBYIST AND ISLAMOPHOBIC FOAMER, TRIES IT ON AT WEBDIARY.

Mike Lyvers, the Israeli loony lobbyist and foaming at the mouth Islamophobe, just can’t help himself. At every opportunity he attacks Iran and Islam on behalf of Israel. In the midst of a debate at Webdiary about free speech and cartoons, gays and homosexuality are mentioned. It provides an ideal vehicle for this warmongering lunatic to mention Iran. He writes:

“Regarding the gay issue, I am consistently amazed that anyone could imagine being gay was a matter of "choice." Given all the social pressures against being gay, there would be few if any gays around if that were the case. But there are even gays in Iran, despite the fact that when outed there they are subjected to grotesque public executions.”

For Loony Lyvers this is good enough reason for the West to attack Iran right now and ensure regime change straight away. Of course, regime change would also have a few other ‘unexpected benefits’, particularly for Israel; like it would leave the Israelis free to deal with Hizbollah and Hamas by ensuring that these organisations that resist Israeli terror don’t get help from Iran via Syria.

No, the reality is; Loony Lyvers couldn’t give a toss for the lives of gay people in Iran. For him it’s just another opportunity for anti-Iranian and anti-Islam rhetoric and propaganda. It is typical of Israeli extreme right-wing Loony Lobby hoodwinking and deceit.

MORE WAR WITH HIZBOLLAH AND MAYBE SYRIA IMMINENT?

An almost unnoticed quote by the Israeli defence Minister, Ehud Barak, and reported yesterday in the Jerusalem Post is significant; “The next war,” he says, “needs to be decided in enemy territory, with minimal damage to the home front.”

This was the last line in a report that more than likely will disappear from the pages of the world’s newspapers by the time you are reading this.

Of course, the first thing one needs to ask is: Which particular ‘enemy’s territory’ is Barak referring to? Israel has so many enemies. They are already in the West Bank and they are already constantly making incursions into the Gaza Strip where any actual ‘war’ as such is likely to be very one-sided, so that only leaves Lebanon or Syria. Barak’s remark about ‘minimal damage to the home front’ could be construed as a reference to the damage that Hizbollah inflicted on Israel as a result of its rocket bombardment of northern Israel during last years war. Some observers have commented that it was Hizbollah’s continued attacks against civilian targets in northern Israel that finally forced Israel to the seek a ceasefire via the US and the UN after Israel failed to stop such attacks with their own bombardments of Lebanon and even its costly invasion.

We now know that, while Hizbollah did attack Israel with rockets, the Israelis were actually planning to attack Hizbollah and Lebanon long before Hizbollah began using rockets against Israel. Indeed, the rocket attacks against Israel, together with the capture by Hizbollah of two IDF soldiers, were just the casus belli Israel were looking for in order to start their war. As always, the Israelis claimed it was their enemies that had cast the first stone but, as always, this is a lie. In fact Israel had spent months planning their attack and weeks deliberately trying to provoke Hizbollah by making low-level supersonic mock attacks over Lebanon. Not only did these flights infringe Lebanese sovereign airspace but they were designed to be both aggressive and intimidating. One could only surmise what Israel’s reaction would be if, say, a flight of Syrian air force MiG-29s made a series of low level supersonic passes over Tel Aviv.

Today, the Israeli air force continues to fly inside Lebanese airspace and, indeed, have come close to having their aircraft shot down by French peace-keeping anti-aircraft missiles. In the last few months the IDF have completed several exercises in the northern Israel region close to both the Lebanese border and the Syrian border. The new Israeli Chief of Staff, General Gabi Ashkenazi, has fully settled into his new role and the new Israeli Defence Minister, Ehud Barak, apart from wanting to raise another couple of divisions for the Israeli army, seems about ready to go.

All that remains now is for the Israeli government to find a casus belli and there well then be a strong likelihood of the world witnessing yet another war which this time could see Israel attacking both south Lebanon and Syria simultaneously. Again, the hope is that Iran will come to Syria’s aid thus providing a casus belli for the US to attack Iran.

And that’s the bottom line for the Israelis and the US – regime change in Iran and Syria thus leaving Israel with a free hand to deal with Hamas and Hizbollah as the Zionists take another step toward their dream of a Greater Israel.

ISRAELI LOONY LOBBYIST AND ISLAMOPHOBIC HATE MERCHANT, GEOFF PAHOFF, PAVES THE WAY.

The last couple of days have seen an interesting exchange of comments over at Webdiary. Somehow the discussion turned to redeveloping Byron Bay in Queensland. Pahoff thought it might be a good idea to flatten the place and put a Club Med there because the delusional Ziononazi thought the place had been taken over by “….well heeled, elitist, grey haired aliens in funny hats working on their next play about Jews running the world and drinking dead martyrs blood or whatever.”

And, of course, Pahoff knows the very people more than capable of doing the job and who have had lots of experience over the years in demolishing the homes of Palestinians in the occupied territories of the West Bank in order to make way for Zionist settlements inside Palestine. And just to prove it he links to a photograph of an Israeli demolition team showing how it’s done. Naturally, the devious Pahoff doesn’t mention to Webdiarists what the photo is about, he just shows a photo of a large bulldozer in a pile of rubble. It’s not until one locates the site where the photo is from that one discovers it is indeed, a site that shows how the Israelis commit some of their war crimes in the occupied territories. The site also has some footage of these demolition experts in action in the Gaza Strip where they are still busy making life as unbearable as possible for the Gazan people.

Pahoff just can’t help himself.

IF THE IRANIAN REVOLUTIONARY GUARD IS A ‘TERRORIST’ ORGANISATION, WHAT DOES THAT MAKE THE AMERICAN MILITARY AND ISRAEL’S IDF?

In retrospect one can readily see the inevitability of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard being declared a ‘terrorist’ organisation by the Bush administration; it was just a matter of time. It is, however, a major turning point for Bush and his administration inasmuch that this is the first time that a legitimate armed force of a sovereign state has been declared a terrorist organisation. Since the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is part of Iran’s armed forces answerable to and receiving its orders from the sovereign government of Iran, it is as good as declaring that the sovereign state of Iran itself is a ‘terrorist’ organisation.

Once finalised and taking effect, this decision will become of historic importance. Apart from the immediate repercussions for Iran and the Middle East, there are other ramifications. If the US can unilaterally and effectively declare Iran to be ‘terrorist’ state simply because it suits their geo-political position then there is no reason why Iran could not do the same.

The US has taken this step ostensibly because of Iran’s alleged involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. The problem for the Americans here is; if that is the case, then by their own definition, US and allied troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are themselves ‘terrorists’ belonging to terrorist organisations and, applying the same logic as the US are to Iran, their respective governments are, therefore, also ‘terrorist’ organisations. It works two ways.

To a large extent the same logic applies also to the situation in Palestine. The democratically elected government of Palestine, Hamas, is an organisation that has been declared ‘terrorist’ simply because it is defending itself against Israeli expansionism. The reality is that, while occasionally Palestinian fighters are able to get through into Israel to counter-attack in an effort to deter Israeli aggression, it is Israeli ‘Defence Forces’ that are ruthlessly and indiscriminately killing innocent Palestinian civilians and extra-judicially murdering Palestinian forces that are defending the Palestinian people and resisting Israeli aggression on Palestinian lands. If Palestinian fighters are deemed to be ‘terrorists’ because they go in to Israel to deter the Israelis from further aggression against the Palestinians, then those IDF forces on Palestinian territory, and attacking Palestinian territory from the air and via artillery, may also be considered ‘terrorists’.

Until now, the term ‘terrorists’ had some meaning, albeit one that was abused for the purposes of rhetoric and propaganda. Now, however, it has taken on a new meaning; one that now actually is far closer to identifying who the real terrorists are in this world. Bush has opened the floodgates of nation-states being able to call each other ‘terrorists’ by now including sovereign governments as organisations that can constitute a ‘terrorist’ organisation. But, in redefining who or what can now be considered ‘terrorists’, Bush has also opened the door for the peoples of the world to also make their own decisions about which sovereign nations they consider are terrorist and which are not.

Given this new definition of the term ‘terrorists’, people can now determine who the real terrorists are in the Middle East and Central Asia seeing as how it is the US and their allies and the Israelis that are on dirt that doesn’t belong to them.

‘OFF THE RECORD’? MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO HISTORY WHERE EVERYTHING IS 'ON THE RECORD' - EVEN WHEN IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE 'OFF'!

Tucked away in the debate about what Peter Costello did or didn’t say about his own leadership aspirations is the rather far more important questions the debate raises with regards to statements made ‘on and off the record’. Tony Abbott in his comments over the debacle has said: “If [the remarks] were off the record in 2005, they should also be off the record in 2007, and if something is off the record it in effect doesn't exist and there's nothing wrong with denying something that didn't exist."

The problem is here is; regardless of whether or not something was said ‘off the record’, if later it is leaked to the public and it is found to actually have been said, then it has become ‘on the record’ even if it was initially supposed to be ‘off the record’. In other words, if it is shown to have been said then it is on the record as having been said regardless of the consequences.

There is, of course, a journalist’s creed whereby stuff that is told to a journalist ‘off the record’ does indeed normally stay off the record. Historians, however, are generally far less circumspect about the proprieties of ‘on’ or ‘off the record’ statements. If something is said and is proven to have been said then, contrary to Abbott’s assertion, it does indeed exist and for the historian it is, therefore, quite acceptable to use when presenting history. The truth of history won’t allow itself to be distorted by the personal whims and egos of history makers; the objective recording of history is far too important for those sorts of considerations.

When a politician is caught lying there should be no ‘off the record’ protections. If history only tolerates the truth then there is no reason why those that make history should not be forced to succumb to those same truths.

AUSTRALIA’S P.M., JOHN HOWARD, HAS REALLY GOT THE IRAQI PEOPLE WORRIED NOW!

The Lying Little Tyrant has really got the Iraqi government in a tizz! He’s sent them a letter that has threatened them with leaving Iraq if they don’t get their act together. Wow, I bet that'll stop the fighting in its tracks! Australia’s Prime Minister, John Howard, is feigning anxiety over the distribution of Iraq’s oil wealth.

Apparently, the letter, sent last week, “…warns that if the Iraqis fail to make progress, the public support for Australia's military deployment to Iraq may not be sustainable”. Naturally, one needs to ask; what public support is John Howard talking about? There never was any public support for military deployment in Iraq. Australians never wanted Australia to go in to Iraq in the first place.

Howard’s real concern, of course, is Australia’s up-coming election. Howard actually couldn’t care less who gets Iraq’s oil wealth as long as it’s the big US oil companies that profit and that the oil continues to flow westward. Of course, he wants to keep in with his mate George W. Bush but, with the election coming up, Howard is seeing the writing on the wall and has figured that he may get a few brownie points from voters if he back-pedals a bit on Iraq – hence the threat to withdraw. Mind you, they are only threats. Howard wouldn’t dream of actually pulling out of Iraq unless Bush gave him permission to.

It’s just more illusory garbage from a desperate Australian Prime Minister.

$169M TO ENSURE THAT NO ONE THROWS A ROTTEN TOMATO AT BUSH WHILE IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA??!!

The upcoming visit by US President George W. Bush is set to cost Australians $169 million in security costs alone not to mention the cost of all the other goodies like dinners and barbies at Kirribilli House that will be piled on for Australian Prime Minister John Howard’s best mate.

One wonders what Australians are likely to get in return for all their hard-earned being spent on him. One ought not be holding ones breath for the kind of walk-about from the President that the Albanians were treated to when he visited there back in June this year. After all, all it cost the President on that trip was his watch!

All up it’s likely to cost Aussie taxpayers well over $200 million – especially now that Bush has mysteriously decided to bring his visit forward by a couple of days, throwing Sydney into utter chaos and likely to cost another $50 odd million.

Australians should be outraged at this wanton expenditure of money when we have so many other far more pressing uses for that money.

ELIOT RAMSEY’S FREUDIAN SLIP

The fraud and liar Eliot Ramsey/C. Parsons seems almost to have given himself away today. At Webdiary he wrote:

“Hi Paul. If you go to the ‘What if…” thread, then go right back to the very start of the thread past 1054 comments, you will see over and over and over that some of us have been saying exactly the same thing for over a year.”

A clever stunt for someone who has only been posting for just a couple of months claiming to be completely new to Webdiary!

(Ramsey's first post at Webdiary was on 12 June 2007, just two days after the pin got pulled on C. Parsons.)

AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER JOHN HOWARD TO RESIGN SOON?

All the signs are in place for Australian Prime Minister John Howard to resign his leadership of the Liberal Party before the next election which is due sometime before the end of this year, possibly in November.

The signs are not looking at all good for Howard; the latest polls still have him lagging well behind on 44% of the two party preferred vote against Labor’s 55%. And, if a poll conducted only last May is anything to go by, not only would Howard and his Liberal Party lose government but Howard would actually lose his own seat at Bennelong to popular ex-ABC journalist Maxine McKew who is Labor’s candidate there at the next election.

If there is one thing Howard really hates it’s losing; and the ultimate big loss for Howard will be to lose both government and his own seat at the next election. It would be his most inglorious moment that would ruin what he believes has otherwise been a glorious political career as Prime Minister rivalled only by his hero, Robert Menzies. There is no way that Howard will risk that. Losing office at an election would be bad enough but losing his own seat as well would be utterly unbearable for this egotistical man.

Other signs too to not bode well for Howard. His own pollsters, if not actually saying it, are certainly hinting that he should go. Even his close friend and official biographer, David Barnett, is telling him it’s time to move on.

The biggest problem facing the Liberal Party, however, is; who’s to replace him and, is it too late? For years Peter Costello has been yapping at Howard’s heels for the Prime Ministership. If Howard did decide to go he may well hand the reigns over to Costello but, if he did, and the Liberal Parliamentary Party endorsed him, the government could be even more assured of defeat at the next election since Costello is even less liked than Howard. However, it wouldn’t be up to Howard; the Liberal Party would have the final word in who leads if Howard goes and they are unlikely to invest in someone they know already is a loser in the leadership stakes. Health Minister Tony Abbot is even less liked than Costello so he too wouldn’t get a look in. Foreign Minister Alexander Downer is seen as a joke even among his own party. The Liberal Party’s only other hope would be the affable and quite likeable Environment and Water Resources Minister, Malcolm Turnbull.

Howard has now only two choices; bow out right now on some health pretext and throw the Party to the wind with its electoral chances or face almost certain defeat at the polls both for his government and his own seat and be the laughing stock of Australia. Either way, he’s a loser.

Australia and the rest of the world, on the other hand, are the big winners.

AUSTRALIA JUMPS ON THE BANDWAGON OF DEATH SUPPLIERS IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

As if the Middle East needs more arms for which its inhabitants can be stirred up by the West to kill each other with, Australia has announced its intention to be involved with the ongoing orgy of killing in that region of the world by allowing participants to deal out future death with the very latest and best in death-creating equipment that Australia has to offer.

Not to be left out in the cold while the US delivers billions of dollars for arms to Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the Gulf States, Australia is about to create an official dealer in death as it too jumps on the bandwagon of Middle Eastern wars. It will be known as the ‘Defence Export Unit’, the leader of which will be announced by Australia’s Defence Minister Brendan Nelson within the next few weeks. This new ‘Unit’ will investigate and identify niche ‘markets’ within the ongoing Middle East killing frenzy; markets which Australian ‘defence’ industries can fill where the American ‘defence’ industries cannot. Australian killing products that the dealers in Middle Eastern death are most likely to be interested in include troop-carrying catamarans and the ‘Bushmaster’ armoured vehicle.

The aim ostensibly for all this is not, of course, to make money but to ensure that Iran is ‘contained’ – or at least so we are told. Despite this several birds are ‘killed’ in this largely transparent piece of deception from the US. First, Israel gets to have the rest of the Middle East and the Western world keep Iran at bay while it does as it pleases in slowly creating a Greater Israel at the expense of the Palestinian people; second, Iran continues to be demonised in the ongoing non-existent war against ‘terrorism’, third, the Military Industrial Complexes of the Western world continue to make vast fortunes as they feed the ongoing wars with arms and equipment and last, but certainly by no means least, the US retains hegemony in the resource-rich Middle East. From Australian Prime Minister John Howard’s point of view, Australia can’t afford not to be a part of that. From the point of view of the Australian people, however, it simply makes Australia more of a target for an increasingly and understandably more enraged Islamic world.

It’s time for the people of Australia and the rest of world to tell the Islamic world that they are not our enemies – the real enemies of all of us are the Western leaders we have today that have chosen to wage war against the world of Islam based on lies and deceptions for the purposes of greed, power and the right-wing Zionists pursuit of a Greater Israel.

THE HYPOCRISY OF DYLAN KISSANE.

In April and May of this year Dylan Kissane, a wannabe academic and PhD candidate at the University of South Australia, was caught red-handed practicing gross deceit and dishonesty in debate in the blog media. It seems now that Kissane wishes to add ‘hypocrisy’ as well as ‘dishonesty’ to the list of achievements on his academic resume; he has recently written an article entitled ‘Islamaphobia, Racism and Dishonesty in the Media’.

One can only assume that he sees himself as being suitably qualified to write so learnedly on such matters.

MIKE LYVERS – ANOTHER ISRAELI LOONY LOBBYIST FRAUDSTER EXPOSED

Mike Lyvers, a psychologist, is an American working in Australia who is an Israeli lobbyist and apologist. He suffers from extreme paranoia, a condition related to his Islamaphobia and hatred of all things Islamic. Not unsurprisingly he is also an extreme right-wing Zionist. He also has problems with ‘psychological projection’ wherein a person, in this case Lyvers, ‘projects’ the undesirable traits he recognises he has as his own on to others. Of course, as a psychologist himself Lyvers would have more insight about this condition than most. He is nonetheless unable to conceal it and, being an intelligent person, is able to dream up some impressively worded ‘projections’ that in reality simply describe in an inverted sort of way exactly what he is himself.

Let’s analyse this recent outburst for example:

“I see that the ultra-right wing racist homophobe neo-Nazi Islamofascist sympathiser known as Dhimmian Lataanazi has again accused others of being "right wing." This is a guy who thinks that Islam, an ultra-conservative patriarchal system that would hang all gays and blasphemers from cranes and would imprison all rape victims for life, isn't "right wing". Can't get much farther to the right than that! But maybe Dhimmian is so far right that even Islam is to his left.
There are liars, there are deceivers, then there are liars AND deceivers. And one Dhimmian Lataanazi is clearly both!”

As far as ‘projection’ is concerned there is actually nothing here that is anywhere near subtle; it’s fairly blatant and quite obvious. But while it clearly says a lot about what I am not – one need only read the opposite to what Lyvers has projected – we need to interpret what it says about Lyvers.

Lyvers sees me as a “neo-Nazi Islamofascist sympathiser” because he is himself an extreme right-wing Zionist who supports the Nazi-like actions of the Israeli Zionists as they go about their ethnic-cleansing in Palestine, just as the Nazis did throughout Europe during the war as they ‘ethnically cleansed’, using the term in its broadest sense, Gypsies, Slavs, homosexuals, Jews, Jehovah’s Witnesses, communists, etc., from Europe. Most of those things that he thinks I am, he is, in fact, himself only within the context of being a Zionist rather than an Islamist.

As it happens I do not support the ideology of Islam, particularly when that ideology causes people, their own or others, to suffer. However, I believe that that is a problem that they have to sort out for themselves. To force ‘western values’ on to cultures that are not understood is the height of arrogance and the cause of much of the trouble in this world – particularly when the values that are being forced on to others are in many instances worse than the ones being replaced.

While I do not support any aspect of Islamic ideology that is detrimental to the lifestyle of individuals, I support even less those who lie and cheat to start wars in order to steal land and resources and who murder the inhabitants of those lands as the US and Israel have done.

People like Mike Lyvers make outrageous claims about those that expose them in order to cover their own right-wing extremism.

Because right-wing extremism is associated with Nazism and Fascism, the very ideologies that once threatened their own existence, right-wing Zionists go into denial about their own ideology of ethnic-cleansing, expansionism and Islamaphobia and even launch into ‘projection’ in order to camouflage their right-wing extremism. In Lyvers case, he calls anyone who is anti right-wing Zionist anti-Semites and therefore neo-Nazis and, by extension, “Islamofascist sympathisers”. Into the bargain they then insist that they themselves are ‘leftish’ and represent the ’norm’ and, because they’ve been caught out lying and deceiving themselves, call everyone else that doesn’t go along with their ideology, ‘liars and deceivers’.

Lyvers should write a paper on himself.

THE RACISM OF RELIGION AND CULTURE – JENNY HUME STYLE.

In an astonishingly transparent and pathetically patronising effort to distance herself from accusations of being racist, Jenny Hume at Webdiary has now told Webdiarists:

“And it is not racism that drives me here. I actually have quite an affinity with the Indian people, with a large double dash of Indian blood of my own, of which I am rather proud. A couple of my cousins could pass as Indian. Maybe I should not admit that at the moment!”

Jenny Hume seems painfully unaware of the fact that there is far more to ‘racism’ than simple blood and biology; today’s racism is about religion and culture. Jenny Hume’s claim to have Indian blood has absolutely nothing to do with her outrageous phobias about ‘foreign’ religions and cultures; phobias that conflict with her ridiculous notions of Australian ‘squattocracy’ and of a nation born not 60,000 or whenever years ago, but in 1915 at Gallipoli, notions that demand that ‘they’ be like ‘us’ if they want to come and live in this country ignoring entirely that when her ancestors arrived here their demands were that the natives become like ‘us’ – how could ‘we’ possibly live like ‘them’. Pure arrogance; an arrogance that doesn’t detract one iota from Jenny Hume’s hate and racism.

The blatant Islamophobic racist garbage that flows from the keyboards of the likes of Geoff Pahoff and the liar Eliot Ramsey/C. Parsons, etc., can be simply pointed out and then ignored for what it is, but the kind of deceit that Jenny Hume oozes is far more insidious than simple propaganda – it’s a subtle kind of propaganda that poses as apparent consensus but is in reality far more dangerous than the simplistic racist garbage. It is the kind of propaganda that Australians searching for a more egalitarian society should be aware of.
