"Prominent NASA global warming alarmist Dr. James Hansen has endorsed an eco-fascist book that calls for cities to be razed to the ground, industrial civilization to be destroyed and genocidal population reduction measures to be implemented in the name of preventing climate change.

Hansen, who was back in the news today commenting on a NASA press release that claims the last decade was the 'warmest on record', said that Keith Farnish, author of a new book called "Time’s Up", is correct in calling for acts of sabotage and environmental terrorism in blowing up dams and demolishing cities in order to return the planet to the agrarian age." -- Paul Watson article

Perhaps you've read about the shocking email messages revealing how top "climate scientists" actively conspired for years to falsify global temperature data and to block scientific critics of their exaggerated "global warming" claims.

"Confirming the earlier scandal about cherry-picked data, the e-mails show CRU scientists conspiring to evade legal requests, under the Freedom of Information Act, for their underlying data. It's a basic rule of science that you don't just get to report your results and ask other people to take you on faith. You also have to report your data and your specific method of analysis, so that others can check it and, yes, even criticize it."

-- Robert Tracinski article

Award-winning huckster Al Gore, Jr. has become an overnight billionaire from non-productive "carbon credit" trading based on those claims. Even the chairman of the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) himself has been caught profiting from fear-mongering and the false claim in the IPCC 2007 report that Himalayan glaciers were rapidly melting "due to global warming", when in fact the glaciers are growing worldwide. Gore and the IPCC shared the Nobel Prize for this profitable fraud back in 2007.

"Two years ago the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a benchmark report that was claimed to incorporate the latest and most detailed research into the impact of global warming. A central claim was the world's glaciers were melting so fast that those in the Himalayas could vanish by 2035. In the past few days the scientists behind the warning have admitted that it was based on a news story in the New Scientist, a popular science journal, published eight years before the IPCC's 2007 report. It has also emerged that the New Scientist report was itself based on a short telephone interview with Syed Hasnain, a little-known Indian scientist then based at Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi. Hasnain has since admitted that the claim was "speculation" and was not supported by any formal research".

The anti-development "carbon emissions == global warming" scam is only one aspect of the eco-socialist assault on humanity. There's also the program to starve the third world by cutting off grain exports in the name of producing "bio-fuels" instead:

"One-quarter of all the maize [corn] and other grain crops grown in the US now ends up as biofuel in cars rather than being used to feed people, according to new analysis... The grain grown to produce fuel in the US in 2009 was enough to feed 330 million people for one year at average world consumption levels..."

-- London Guardian

See our articles "Culling the Herd" and "The Earth Charter" for background on the eco-socialist movement and its elitist backers. Note that Dr. Hansen is on the faculty of the Rockefeller-affiliated Columbia University of New York, adjacent to U.N. headquarters and vanguard of the "sustainable development" agenda.

The eco-socialist aristocracy has no need for the teeming billions of useless eaters whom they consider "a cancer on the Earth", as the Georgia Guidestones monument declares, calling for a population reduction of 90% to achieve their Utopia.

CIA analyst speaks outTopic: Zionism
2010-01-13
Supporters of the Jewish State are frothing at the mouth over public remarks by a former CIA analyst critical of the "special realtionship" that allows them to distort U.S. policy and suppress debate:

"Michael Scheuer, the former director of a CIA unit assigned to track down Osama Bin-Laden, calmly expressed the view that American soldiers are now dying in Iraq for the sake of Israelis. He further claimed that any debate of American support for Israel is squelched in the public sphere...

"One of the big things we have not been able to discuss for the past 30 years is our policy towards the Israelis. Whether we want to be involved in fighting Israel's wars in the future is something that Americans should be able to talk about. They may vote yes. They may want to see their kids killed in Iraq or Yemen or somewhere else to protect Israel. But the question is: we need to talk about it. Ultimately, Israel is a country that is of no particular [strategic] worth to the United States... Why don't we talk about that? Because AIPAC and other influential American Jewish groups are extraordinarily involved in the funding of American political campaigns and have the ability to reach out and make sure that people lose their jobs, or are otherwise hurt, if they dare to criticize Israel."

-- Israel National News

The zealots can't argue with Michael Scheuer's credentials as a 20 year CIA veteran or the truth of what he says about the criminal Jewish State, its powerful backers, and their control over U.S. policy. So, like many others before him, he is simply smeared with the racist "anti-Semite" brush instead.

"One policy I am critical of in [my book] 'Marching Toward Hell' is the nature of the U.S.-Israel relationship. I argued that unqualified, bipartisan support for Israel damages U.S. national security, and I damned those who identify critics of the relationship as anti-American [or] anti-Semitic... Now, however, I have the personal experience of losing both position and income for condemning Washington’s status quo Israel policy as a threat to U.S. national security... I can only say of them what FDR said of his domestic foes: "They are unanimous in their hatred for me – and I welcome their hatred."

-- Michael Scheuer article

But maybe the old trick is starting to lose its charm.

"People like Jeffrey Goldberg -- and his comrades at places such as Commentary and the ADL -- have so abused, over-used, manipulated and exploited the "anti-semitism" and "anti-Israel" accusations for improper and nakedly political ends that those terms have become drained of their meaning, have almost entirely lost their sting, and have become trivialized virtually to the point of caricature...

The Israeli devastation of Gaza (see photos) and its trapped, defenseless civilian population -- using American bombs, arms, money and diplomatic cover -- was so brutal and horrific to watch that it inevitably changed the way people view that Middle East conflict."

-- Glen Greenwald article

"The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, then led by Timothy Geithner, told American International Group Inc. to withhold details from the public about the bailed-out insurer’s payments to banks during the depths of the financial crisis, e-mails between the company and its regulator show...

The New York Fed took over negotiations between AIG and the banks in November 2008...[and] decided that Goldman Sachs and more than a dozen banks would be fully repaid for $62.1 billion of the [credit default] swaps, prompting lawmakers to call the AIG rescue a “backdoor bailout” of financial firms...

The New York Fed ordered the crippled insurer not to negotiate for discounts in settling the swaps. The decision to pay the banks in full may have cost AIG, and thus taxpayers, at least $13 billion, based on the discount the insurer was seeking...

Fed Vice Chairman Donald Kohn testified to Congress that disclosure of the counterparties [including Goldman Sachs] would harm AIG’s ability to do business...

Barney Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat and chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said the e-mail exchanges were “troubling” and that he supports holding congressional hearings to review them." -- Bloomberg News

This latest story merely confirms our earlier comments about the operations of the Park Avenue parasites and their agents-in-place including Geithner, Bernanke, Kohn and Barney Frank.

UPDATE:: The SEC, which is supposed to safeguard the public interest and ensure "transparency", instead collaborated in the coverup of the transactions between AIG and Goldman Sachs.

UPDATE:: In a recent interview, Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein recently had the chutzpah to claim that he was "doing God's work". Whose god, Mr. Blankfein?

Screwed twiceTopic: Financial

Just when we thought the Bernard Madoff scandal couldn't get any more sordid, we now find that he was also schtupping the Chief Financial Officer of the Jewish Zionist organization "Hadassah" on the side, according to her recent kiss-and-tell book. Of course, now that her "gains" (and theirs) have turned into losses, she calls him a monster.

"The memoir, "Madoff's Other Secret: Love, Money, Bernie, and Me," was written by Sheryl Weinstein, whose relationship with Madoff spanned more than 20 years while both were married... [They met] when she was chief financial officer for the charitable women's organization Hadassah, where she had a role in investment decisions...

The book has drawn fresh attention to Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization of America. The organization has said its principal investment with Madoff totaled about $33 million, while another $7 million had been entrusted to Madoff after it was donated by a French backer in 1988. Hadassah did not return a telephone call for comment Friday.

Stanley Epstein, a Santa Monica, Calif., lawyer married to a Hadassah member, said Hadassah's treasurer told him after Madoff's December arrest that the organization had cashed in between $120 million and $130 million from its Madoff accounts over the years. The profits could make the organization a target of those seeking to recover money to be distributed to defrauded investors." -- Huffington Post

Mrs. Weinstein whines about how her family was "devastated" by the loss of the money, but apparently not by her 20-year long adulterous affair with the kosher Manhattan swindler. Such paragons of virtue!

It is divine retribution that so many Zionist organizations have suddenly lost their fortunes, walking in their own ways and trusting their own hubris, instead of respecting the one in whose name they claim to operate.

Socialist UtopiansTopic: Socialism
2009-08-10
The socialist utopians of the Obama administration (and the Congress) are finding it increasingly difficult to implement their pet projects as the economic situation continues to fall apart around them, and their incompetence becomes more evident as each day goes by.

"With $24 TRILLION in taxpayers money either spent or pledged, on the bailout of a hopelessly bankrupt Federal Reserve System; with the President's health-care "reform" now seen by a majority of Americans as a scheme for euthanasia; with 48 of the 50 states bankrupt, and with no prospects of Federal assistance to avert massive austerity cuts; and with actual unemployment in the nation soaring far beyond the "official" 10% figure, this rage is going to only build in intensity over the remainder of the summer... The prospect that [his Jewish advisors] Larry Summers, Rahm Emanuel, or David Axelrod will come to their senses, go to the President, and urge him to make the needed changes, are zero." -- EIR article

The deceptively named "Cash for Clunkers" program is an excellent example of an ill-conceived socialist wealth transfer scheme, promoted in the name of the "environment", which benefits the few at the expense of the many.

The latest advertising gimmick at the car lot now features a late-model, perfectly good "eligible" vehicle (like a 2001 Cadillac Eldorado) stuffed nose-first into a trash dumpster. What message does that send to someone driving by who still makes a car payment every month on a vehicle worth less than the one in the dumpster?

Those vehicles, which would otherwise have gone to the working poor who could never afford the inflated price of a new car, will now be destroyed instead. In addition to the $5000 subsidy, how much does it cost the taxpayer to haul off and destroy the vehicle, so that the owner of a Cadillac Eldorado can enjoy a new car at their expense? While some other less fortunate person is deprived of the chance to have a car at all?

Why not put the shredders right at the end of the assembly lines instead, if this is the way to generate economic activity? There would be no need for those smelly trucks and trains to transport the vehicles to the dealers, and there would be "zero emissions" from the vehicles themselves. The factories could increase production and employment to any level desired, without concern about buyer finances or lack of demand. The workers could be housed in camps next to the factories, to eliminate the pollution caused by commuting. Their daily caloric intake could be carefully monitored to minimize waste...

Oh, wait. Didn't the National Socialists already try something like that a few decades ago, comrades?

"Obama's health-care policy advisor Ezekiel Emanuel announced a "complete lives system" for selecting who should live and who should die, in an article, "Principles for Allocation of Scarce Medical Interventions"... Emanuel was then appointed to the Federal Coordinating Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research, to begin the design of Federal health-care "reform". Emanuel writes:

"When implemented, the complete lives system produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most substantial chance [for health care], whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated." -- EIR article

Dr. Emanuel fails to mention that a "genuine scarcity" of health care can be manufactured even more easily than a mountain of shredded vehicles, in which case a lot of useless eaters over age 40 would face having their life prospects "attenuated" (i.e., reduced or eliminated) under his plan. It could be done effectively simply by restricting the supply of doctors, while increasing the costs imposed by lawyers and bureaucrats.

(Regarding EIR, their analysis is usually good even if we don't agree with their policy recommendations. --ed)

Propaganda blitzTopic: Zionism

"[At] this week's Christians United for Israel conference... CUFI founder and chairman Pastor John Hagee also weighed in when he introduced Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who appeared via satellite Tuesday to speak to the crowd. Hagee told Netanyahu that "50 million Christians" support "Israel's sovereign right to grow and develop the settlements of Israel [sic] as you see fit and not yield to the pressure of the United States government"...

[Jewish] Sen. Joe Lieberman who accepted CUFI's "Defender of Israel" Award on Tuesday evening, appeared to offer some criticism of the Obama policy... “The chief obstacle to peace in the Middle East is not Israelis living on the West Bank but the regime in Tehran,” he said...

Although he didn’t go into details about what he meant, [Jewish] Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) told CUFI that U.S. policies in the Middle East must be "firmly grounded" in Judeo-Christian principles." -- JTA article

"A delegation of 25 US congressmen began a six-day trip to Israel today [Aug 3] in the largest ever Republican mission to visit the Jewish state, the US embassy said. They held talks with Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman... Representative Eric Cantor...leads the delegation and said before departure the trip was aimed at reassuring Israel of Washington's unbending support. The trip is financed by the American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF) a charitable organisation [sic] affiliated with AIPAC, a powerful pro-Israel lobbying group in Washington." -- Vos Iz Neias article

If the atrocities against the Palestinians aren't enough, the "Christian Suckers for Zionism" should see how the followers of Christ are abused and legally persecuted by the Jewish State. Then they should crack open their Bibles instead of listening to the self-serving "Judeo-Christian" claptrap from these modern-day Pharisees.

"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation...

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together... Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. "

Audit the Federal ReserveTopic: Financial
2009-08-03
"[FED Chariman] Ben Bernanke is in panic mode over Ron Paul's bill to let Congress audit the FED. Watch him stutter and stammer. The video is a delight. Never has the FED been under such scrutiny...

Why the panic? He says the bill is about Congress auditing FED policy. It isn't. It's about letting the public see which crony mega-banks got how much money. That is why he is in panic mode: the mega-bankers are in panic mode. The big banks do not want Congress to see how much they are ripping off the public through the FED's fiat money creation. They are all bordering on bankruptcy.

[Rep.] Barney Frank has the bill bottled up in committee, even though 64% of the House has co-sponsored it." -- Gary North

Note that both Ben Bernanke and Barney Frank are retainers of the Jewish financier syndicate. They would do just about anything to prevent public exposure of this cabal which has controlled American policy, debased its currency, and driven it into bondage since the days of Paul Warburg, Bernard Baruch, Eugene Meyer, and Henry Morgenthau.

Eugene Meyer was Chairman of the Fed when Wall Street puppet (and high level Freemason) Franklin Roosevelt ordered all privately held gold to be turned in to the Federal Reserve, in exchange for paper "Federal Reserve Notes" only days after taking office. A few months later, when Henry Morgenthau became Secretary of the Treasury, the value of those notes was cut by over 50% relative to gold, effectively robbing the American people of half their savings overnight.

See the online books "Final Warning" and "Secrets of the Federal Reserve" for background.

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." -- Thomas Jefferson

Barney Frank, who has thrown himself in front of the audit freight train, is a morally bankrupt, totally compromised homosexual who picked up a young male hustler for an $80 sex act, took him in as a paid "houseboy", and allowed him to run a prostitution ring out of his apartment for two years.

"They met on April Fool's Day 1985. [Barney Frank] answered a classified ad in the Washington Blade, the local gay weekly: "Exceptionally good-looking, personable, muscular athlete is available. Hot bottom plus large endowment equals a good time."...

"He knew exactly what I was doing," Gobie said. "It was pretty obvious. If he had to come home early, he would call home to be sure the coast was clear . . . . He was living vicariously through me. He said it was kind of a thrill, and if he had been 20 years younger he might be doing the same thing."

Congressman Frank is also an official on the Steering Committee of the International Council of Jewish Parliamentarians, directly supporting the interests of the Jewish State at American expense. They say you get what you pay for -- right, Barney?

Citizen of the WorldTopic: Political
2009-08-02
Barack Hussein Obama, whom the humanist/socialists adore with the irrational fervor usually reserved for the Virgin Mary, has declared himself to be a "citizen of the world" on more than one occasion. It sounds so progressive, doesn't it? However, the fact remains that one must be a citizen of the United States of America in order to hold the office of the Presidency, and that's where his loyalty should remain.

After months of rumor and conjecture about Mr. Obama's uncertain origins, fuelled by his stonewalling on the issue and failure to release supporting documentation, a flaky Israeli attorney has produced an alleged Kenyan birth certificate for him, consistent with his Kenyan grandmother's reported claim that he was born in that British colony. But is this just another fraud? It seems so.

A more credible investigator has revealed some major discrepancies in the timeline from Obama's campaign biography, based on official records, which suggest a much different history:

"Ann Dunham and Barack H. Obama, Sr.'s divorce decree states they were married Feb. 2, 1961, in Wailuku, Maui, Hawaii. This would mean Obama's parents were married approximately three months after Barack Obama, Jr. was conceived... [and] Instead of staying in Hawaii with her husband and new baby, Ann Dunham began classes at the University of Washington in Seattle in September 1961 for the autumn semester, less than two months after Obama was born." -- Jerome Corsi

Dunham hopped into bed with Obama (citizen of Kenya) less than two months after she started college in Hawaii, and just before her 18th birthday (assuming a 9-month pregnancy). When she found out she was pregnant, there was a "shotgun wedding" that lasted about 8 months before she abandoned him and took baby Obama with her to Seattle to attend college there instead. He then split for Boston, and Dunham went back home to momma in Hawaii after he was gone, never to return. It sounds so progressive, doesn't it?

It will be interesting to see how the investigation proceeds, and whether the Alinskyites can muddy the water sufficiently to prevent the truth from becoming known.

No bailout?Topic: Financial

Here's a story about a small-time Jewish crime ring in New Jersey which paid off the local politicos to cover their illicit activities, while funneling the profits to Israel.

"Three city mayors, two state politicians and five [Jewish] rabbis were among 44 people arrested across New Jersey yesterday when federal agents cracked an alleged Sopranos-style crime ring accused of bribery, money laundering and trafficking body parts... The FBI informant also helped investigators to trap rabbis allegedly involved in using 'religious charities' to launder money [from the criminal activities] as part of a network that ran from New Jersey to Switzerland and Israel." -- London Times

"In a criminal complaint, the F.B.I. said the rabbis used their congregations’ charitable organizations to launder about $3 million — passing what they were told was a donor’s ill-gotten gains through their charities’ bank accounts, and then returning the money to the donor in exchange for a cut of 5 to 10 percent. The 'donor' turned out to be an apparent F.B.I. informer, Solomon Dwek, who, like the rabbis, is a Sephardic Jew of Syrian descent." -- New York Times

It was probably considered "safe" to entrap these guys and to make a big show out of busting them since the Sephardic Jews (you know, the "darkies") have always been considered second-class even in Israel.

Yet, their untouchable Ashkenazi brothers in the New York and London financial districts are doing the same thing, only on a much bigger scale. They deal in bogus "investments" instead of fake handbags, and they buy U.S. Senators instead of city mayors for protection. But the ethics are the same.

Funding the Jewish StateTopic: Zionism
2009-07-18
"The House of Representatives passed the foreign aid bill Thursday, which includes $2.22 billion in security aid to Israel. The 2010 State and Foreign Operations Appropriations bill was approved by a vote of 318-106... When the $2.22 billion in Israel aid is combined with $555 million that was passed in an earlier supplemental funding bill, that makes a total of $2.775 billion in military aid for Israel, in line with the second year of the 10-year, $30 billion memorandum of understanding between the United States and the Jewish state." -- JTA article

What "memorandum of understanding"? This is a $30,000,000,000 shakedown of the U.S. taxpayers by the functionaries of the Jewish State and their "Christian Zionist" allies to buy more white phosphorus firebombs for the next massacre.

"[We] don’t believe in western [Christian] morality, i.e. don’t kill civilians or children, don’t destroy holy sites, don’t fight during holiday seasons, don’t bomb cemeteries, don’t shoot until they shoot first because it is immoral. The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way: Destroy their holy sites. Kill men, women and children (and cattle)."

-- Rabbi Manis Friedman, quoted in Moment magazine, May/June 2009

Jewish "liberals" always hate it when one of their esteemed Talmudic rabbis speaks honestly about the "Jewish way" in front of the goyim, and there has been no shortage of the usual soothing blather. But actions speak louder than mere words, and here is the graphic proof (see photos).

Rabbi Friedman, a Talmudic scholar and dean of a yeshiva, is a leading figure in the Chabad Lubavitch sect which was officially honored by the U.S. Congress for its "ethical values". Chabad leader Menachem Schneerson wrote that Jews intend "to conquer and to purify" ALL the gentile countries. Evidently, the incineration of gentile children using white phosphorus is an essential part of the purification process.

"The Tel Aviv [Israel] police fraud squad arrested on Sunday nine Israelis on suspicion of netting [stealing] millions of dollars from U.S. pensioners... Police raided an office in the city, which is suspected to have been the nerve center of the dodgy [criminal] enterprise. The defendants, all in their 20s and 30s, allegedly phoned American pensioners, told them they had won the lottery and asked them for a fee of several thousand dollars for the transfer of the prize money, which in fact never existed... Last week, it was reported that the American agencies had urged Israel Police to step up the extradition procedure of another ten Israelis who were suspected of scamming $2 million by similar means." -- Haaretz

Ripping off the unwary with the lure of unearned "gains", just like their cousins from Park Avenue. What's the difference? One avaricious fiddler is like another.

"Dear God, you made many, many poor people.
I realize, of course, that it's no shame to be poor. But it's no great honor either!
So, what would have been so terrible if I had a small fortune?

They would ask me to advise them, like Solomon the Wise...

And it won't make one bit of difference if I answer right or wrong.

Park Avenue parasitesTopic: Financial
2009-07-01
"Bernard Madoff was not some sort of weird outsider...but rather a key developer of the modern system of electronic trading and a founder and chairman of NASDAQ. Madoff often was called upon to help write the rules on financial regulation and therefore became quite expert at subverting them... At the very time back in 1999 when the SEC was being formally warned that a Madoff scam was under way, Madoff was consulting with then-SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt Jr. on regulatory matters... When Levitt worked for Clinton as head of the SEC, he teamed up with Alan Greenspan, Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers to destroy what remained of financial service industry regulation..." -- Robert Scheer article

The author fails to mention the fact that Madoff, Levitt, Greenspan, Rubin and Summers are all members of the same Jewish financier syndicate. One member of the club (like Geithner or Bernanke) is appointed to "oversee" the others, while the fraud continues and the money disappears at places like AIG (Hank Greenberg), Goldman Sachs (Lloyd Blankfein), Lehman Brothers (Richard Fuld), Cerberus Capital (Ezra Merkin), and a host of others.

The Madoff scam is merely the tip of a rotten iceberg. After all, somebody has to pay for the lavish lifestyles of these Park Avenue parasites. It might as well be you.

"Steve Schwarzman...the billionaire chairman of the Blackstone Group invited 500 people to the Armory on Park Avenue for a party that cost an estimated $3 million. A very long list of notables turned up -- Donald Trump, Barbara Walters, Barry Diller, Lloyd Blankfein, Jamie Dimon -- as did many of the [other] people who have now become poster boys for the global financial crisis, like former Merrill Lynch CEO Stan O'Neal, and ex-Bear Stearns chief Jimmy Cayne." -- City File article

A decade ago, Greenspan, Rubin, and Summers were featured on the cover of Time magazine as the "Committee to Save the World" by club propagandists Gerald Levin (publisher) and Norman Pearlstine (editor). But what did they save, and for whom?

"A lawsuit [filed in December] against Clinton Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin for defrauding Citibank shareholders of more than $122 billion, also described as a "Ponzi scheme," got no airplay whatsoever... Rubin didn't get the same publicity* as Madoff because of his close connection to Barack Obama. Robert Rubin's son Jamie was Obama's main Wall Street fundraiser and is now one of his principal advisers. More significant, Obama's economic team consists of Rubin's [Jewish] proteges including Timothy Geithner, Treasury Secretary; Lawrence Summers, Senior Economic Adviser; and Peter Orszag, Budget Director... Madoff's $50 billion scam is described as the largest in history. But it pales in comparison with what Robert Rubin and his ilk have done to the world." -- Henry Makow article

After leaving the Clinton administration, Rubin became a fellow at the club alma mater, Harvard University, and Summers became the school's "first Jewish president". They had their eye on law school alumnus Barry Obama.

"Michael Froman [also Jewish] was Chief of Staff to Robert Rubin at Treasury before following Rubin to his reward at Citigroup. Most significantly, it was Froman who first introduced Rubin to his Harvard classmate Barack Obama... [He] is now Obama’s Deputy National Security Adviser for International Economic Affairs." -- Andrew Cockburn article

Speaking of publicity, the Madoff story would never have gotten the tremendous media coverage that it has except for the fact that he violated the club rules and burned a lot of his brother Jews, which is just not acceptable. According to their long-standing tradition, only the "strangers" are fair targets for obtaining such blessed possessions:

"Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury [charge interest]; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it." -- Deuteronomy 23:20

Many of Madoff's billionaire clients also belonged to the exclusive (Jewish) Palm Beach Country Club, whose own greed was exceeded only by their arrogance. They have suddenly gone from gloating over their unearned "gains" to howling about their losses.

"People in Palm Beach sort themselves out into the group in which they belong based largely on how much money they have. Even the poorest of the islanders seem to have everything yet joy proves elusive, even for the country club members, because there is always someone richer or better socially connected...

Those with the biggest financial gains generally had their money managed by Madoff. It was an honor having him handle your fortune. He didn't take just anybody. He turned down all kinds of people, and that made you want to give the man even more of your money. When he took your fortune, he told you that he would tell you nothing about how he achieved his returns. He was a god. He had the Midas touch." -- Laurence Leamer article

Life and DeathTopic: Health
2009-06-28
"President Obama has put in place a reform apparatus reviving the euthanasia of Hitler's Germany in 1939, that began the genocide there. The apparatus here is to deny medical care to elderly, chronically-ill, and poor people, and thus save, as the President said, $2-3 trillion, by taking lives considered 'not worthy to be lived,' as the Nazi doctors said.

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel* (OMB Director Peter Orszag's chief health advisor) and other avowed cost-cutters on this panel also lead a propaganda movement for euthanasia headquartered at The Hastings Center, of which Dr. Emanuel is a Fellow.

Dr. Emanuel wrote last Oct. 12 that a crisis, war, and financial collapse would get the frightened public to accept the program. Hitler told Dr. Brandt in 1935 that the euthanasia program would have to wait until the war began, to get the public to go along." -- Anton Chaitkin

Do Americans really want a Jewish (or a Humanist) "bio-ethics" panel sitting in judgement over their own life and death? One should study the case of the Palestinians, including many "patients in dire need of medical treatment", to see how these lofty ethical principles are applied to non-wealthy, non-Jews.

* Note that Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel is the brother of Obama's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel. Their father, Benjamin Emanuel, was a member of the Zionist militant organization Irgun Zvai Leumi founded by Vladimir Jabotinsky, author of the racist "Iron Wall" policy of the modern Jewish State. Rahm Emanuel served as a "civilian volunteer" in the Zionist IDF military force, successor of Jabotinsky's IZL, for two years.

Goldman Sachs exposedTopic: Financial
2009-06-26
Speaking of the Manhattan "financial industry", and specifically ringleader Goldman Sachs, this writer spells it out:

"These crap/sham mortgages, a lot of them adjustable-rate deals with teaser rates that featured sudden rate hikes two or three years after closing, they would never have been possible [in such volume] had not someone devised a method for selling them off to secondary buyers...This isn’t really commerce, but much more like organized crime: it was a gigantic fraud perpetrated on the economy that wouldn’t have been possible without accomplices in the ratings agencies and regulators willing to turn a blind eye...

Any way you slice it, Goldman Sachs was responsible for putting tens of billions of toxic mortgages on the market, resulting in mass foreclosures, mass depletion of retirement funds, and a monstrously over-leveraged financial system that we will now all be bailing out for the next half-century or so. All of this so that Goldman could make a few billion bucks acting as the middleman in all of these deadly transactions." -- Matt Taibbi

However, he fails to mention that Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein is yet another member of that rich Jewish Zionist clique who buffs his image by donating part of his loot to "worthy" (pro-Israel) causes, like the UJA Federation ($125,000) and B'nai Jeshurun ($115,000).

"President Barack Obama urged all Americans Thursday to find a way to serve their country this summer. The president and first lady Michelle Obama did their part at Fort McNair, helping volunteers load 15,000 backpacks with books, healthy snacks and toys for children of the men and women of the armed forces.

"Serving our country is not just something that we should expect our members of our armed forces to do," Obama said, "That's something that we should expect all of us as citizens to do."

The Obamas were joined by their daughters, Malia and Sasha, members of Congress and their families, and volunteers from nonprofit organizations." -- AP News

The utter hypocrisy of this latest do-gooder stunt makes one want to puke. This is like a rapist who sends flowers.

If you really want to "serve" the people of this country Mr. President, then why not live up to your campaign rhetoric and shutdown the military occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan immediately? Then there would be no need to send token goodies to those children who might never see their fathers again, as they fight and die for the nebulous goals of your well-heeled backers.

The looting of GMTopic: Financial
2009-06-20
"At the time the GM-Chrysler merger was being considered, Chrysler was primarily owned (80 percent) by the private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, L.P., headed by Stephen A. Feinberg and Jacob Ezra Merkin. Cerberus is named after the mythological three-headed dog of Hell*. It should be noted that Feinberg and Merkin also controlled General Motors Acceptance Corp. (GMAC), the financial services branch of GM.

GM sold 51 percent of GMAC in 2006 to Feinberg's private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management LP, and Jacob Ezra Merkin became chairman of GMAC. Had the merger gone through, Feinberg and Merkin would have probably become majority owners of both GM and Chrysler. This appears to have been the plan. Feinberg and Merkin, the owners of GMAC, had plundered and conspired to bring down GM so that they could take it over...

[Merkin is also] one of the key players of the multi-billion dollar criminal fraud carried out by Bernard Madoff. Merkin secretly diverted untold billions to Madoff's fraudulent investment fund. One of Merkin's funds 'lost' $1.8 billion of investor cash with Madoff....

Merkin had been chairman of GMAC since November 2006. GMAC reportedly lost nearly $8 billion while Merkin was in charge. Despite Merkin's huge losses at GMAC and his involvement in the Madoff criminal scam, the U.S. government evidently had no problem providing billions of taxpayer dollars..."

Call it FascismTopic: Political

"Robert Byrd, the longest serving [Democrat] Senator in history, criticized President Obama's appointment of numerous White House advisors, also called "czars," saying the presence of the czars gives the president too much power. These czars report directly to Mr. Obama and have the power to shape national policy on their subject area. So far, Mr. Obama has recruited czars on health reform, urban affairs policy, and energy and climate change. Unlike Cabinet secretaries, they do not have to be approved by Congress." -- CBS News

At latest count, Obama has now appointed 16 of these policy "advisors". What the article fails to mention is that most of these unaccountable functionaries in Obama's neo-Fascist administration are Jewish Zionists, much like the commissars of the disastrous Bolshevik regime in Russia a century ago, or their Trotskyite "neo-con" successors that dominated the Bush administration. These include:

* Larry Summers -- Appointed director of the "National Economic Council"
* Cass Sunstein -- Appointed director of the "Office of Regulatory Affairs"
* Kenneth Feinberg -- Appointed to oversee executive compensation
* Daniel Fried -- Appointed to oversee military detention policies
* Steven Rattner -- Appointed director of the "Auto Industry Task Force"
* Alan Bersin -- Appointed to oversee border control
* Todd Stern -- Appointed to oversee "climate change" policy
* Carol Browner -- Member of Socialist International, appointed to oversee energy policy

Some other key members of Obama's Jewish commissariat include:

* Rahm Emanuel -- Chief of Staff to the President
* David Axelrod -- Senior Advisor to the President
* Ronald Klain -- Chief of Staff to the Vice President
* Paul Volcker -- Economic Advisor to the President
* Timothy Geithner -- Secretary of the Treasury
* Peter Orszag -- Director of Office of Management and Budget

The article also fails to point out that "the president" himself -- just like his predecessor -- is merely a front man and script reader for the global oligarchy, godfathers of both Fascism and Communism, whose U.S. operations are centered in the Manhattan financial district. See Prof. Sutton's historical analysis for background.

Another swindler bustedTopic: Financial

"The former top executive of American International Group Inc. plundered an AIG retirement program of billions of dollars because he was angry at being forced out of the company, a lawyer for AIG told jurors Monday at the start of a civil trial. Attorney Theodore Wells told the jury in Manhattan that former AIG Chief Executive Officer Maurice Hank Greenberg improperly took $4.3 billion in stock from the company in 2005, after he was ousted by the company amid investigations of accounting irregularities." -- AP News

Hank Greenberg, the father of AIG who is also an Honorary Vice Chairman of the CFR and a major financial supporter of the ADL, deserves to have his assets stripped and spend the rest of his "golden years" in jail, along with former NASDAQ Chairman and fellow Jewish con-man Bernard Madoff. However, it does no good to bust a few of these elderly capos but leave their corrupt criminal enterprises intact.

When are we going to go after the rest of the Manhattan gangsters at Goldman Sachs, AIG, J.P. Morgan, Citigroup, FRBNY, et al whose fraudulent schemes have plunged the world economy into depression and chaos, allowing their agents-in-place to loot the U.S. Treasury to the tune of TRILLIONS of dollars as a result? That crime is still in progress, and a mere $4,300,000,000 stock swindle is pocket change by comparison.

These people would do just about anything to distract attention from the slaughter in Gaza and the racist Iron Wall policies of the Jewish State.

"A group of prominent gay opinion-shapers from around the world are to visit Israel to grapple with the country's sexuality issues on a five-day seminar centering around Tel Aviv's gay pride parade, scheduled for Friday... The idea is to improve Israel's image across the globe, according to Noa Meir, coordinator of iPride. Meir is participating in the Stand With Us fellowship program... "We're glad to have the opportunity to do what hasn't been done enough, which is to reach out to the gay community and have them see, hear and experience Israel for themselves."... During the seminar, the group will also attend Israel's 11th Gay Pride Parade, tour Tel Aviv's gay nightlife spots and Jerusalem's Old City." -- Jerusalem Post

Gay nightlife and the Old City? Indeed. Perhaps these "Jews" should re-read the account of the arrogant "gay" men of Sodom and what happened to them as described in the Jewish Torah, Genesis 18 and 19. Either the Jewish god actually exists, or he does not. If not, then what claim do these rude usurpers have to the "Land of Israel"? If so, then what kind of provocative madness is a Sodomite parade in the heart of the Jewish State, complete with homosexual marriages? Oy!

"For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory. The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves." -- Isaiah 3:8-9

"For the punishment of the iniquity of the daughter of my people [Israel] is greater than the punishment of the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands stayed on her." -- Lamentations 4:6

UPDATE: A few weeks after this event, a Jewish gunman burst into a "gay teen center" in Tel Aviv killing and wounding several described as "minors". There is no excuse for such violence. However, it is also morally reprehensible to openly recruit minors for the gratification of "gay" sexual predators.

Supreme hypocrisyTopic: Catholic

"If Judge Sonia Sotomayor is confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court, she will be the sixth Roman Catholic of the nine justices... Two other justices — Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer — are Jewish. When Justice David Souter, an Episcopalian, soon retires, Justice John Paul Stevens will be the lone Protestant." -- AP News

Many Catholic lawyers belong to an organization called the "Thomas More Society", named for their patron saint. Each year, the Society sponsors the "Red Mass" (see photos) at the opening of the Supreme Court sessions in both the U.S. and Canada. Is this ominous ritual compatible with the separation of Church and State?

"St. Thomas More, counsellor and advocate, learned in the law, chancellor of charity and jurist of justice, merry martyr, scholar and canonized saint, may the Lord of all law and of all lawyers make me at your request a little more like you today than I was yesterday." -- Lawyer's prayer to St. Thomas More

One of "saint" Thomas More's famous persecutions was that of William Tyndale, the Protestant hero (and ex-Catholic) who produced and distributed the first English translations of the Bible in defiance of the papacy. Thomas More, to whom these Catholic lawyers pray for guidance, and the Bishop of London arranged to have Tyndale burned alive as a "heretic" for his defence of religious freedom and his criticism of the corrupt Roman Church.

"Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered." -- Luke 11:52

Ms. Sotomayor herself was a mediocre student who was elevated into her position despite her lack of academic qualifications because of unjust favoritism based on her race and gender.

"[Her] lower test scores were overlooked by admissions committees at Princeton University and Yale Law School because, she said, she is Hispanic and had grown up in poor circumstances. “If we had gone through the traditional numbers route of those institutions,” says Sotomayor, “it would have been highly questionable if I would have been accepted. ... My test scores were not comparable to that of my classmates.” Thus, Sotomayor got into Princeton, got her No. 1 ranking, was whisked into Yale Law School and made editor of the Yale Law Review—all because she was a Hispanic woman." -- Patrick Buchanan

Ms. Sotomayor was also until recently a card-carrying member of the "National Council of La Raza" (NCLR), a racist latino organization ('la Raza' literally means 'the Race') whose radical members and affiliates have treasonably called for the "re-conquest" of the western U.S. and the forcible expulsion of white Americans.

The more moderate elements of "La Raza" favor stripping Americans of their assets via taxation to fund socialist welfare programs for themselves and their "anchor babies", while shipping their own funds offshore to benefit foreign familias. Such "remittances" are Mexico's second largest source of foreign income. California, the epicenter of the invasion, is now on the brink of collapse as a result.

The "sub-prime" housing loan debacle was also centered in California, and most of those loans went to undocumented, unqualified latino borrowers. NCLR has lobbied for further subsidies so that members of "La Raza" can remain in their overpriced homes at American taxpayer expense.

"Both Mozilo and Sambol [of Countrywide] were aware as early as June 2006 that a significant percentage of borrowers who were taking out 'stated income' loans were engaged in mortgage fraud...and that there was evidence that borrowers were lying about their income in the application process." -- Seeking Alpha
