Palestinians throw rocks at an Israeli tank
Israel has told its diplomats in the United States, Europe and elsewhere to encourage their host nations to support the regime of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, daily Haaretz reported Monday. The newspaper said Israel’s foreign ministry told its diplomats to stress that it is in “the interest of the West” and of “the entire Middle East to maintain the stability of the regime in Egypt.” http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=report-israel-seeks-support-for-mubarak-2011-01-31
Anti-White terrorists shut down a speaking engagement by Jared Taylor in Canada a few years back
Over the last few years, the increasing ferocity of attacks leveled against Taylor and American Renaissance has evolved from smears by left wing “watch dog” organizations to outright thuggery and censorship—against which law enforcement authorities are apparently unwilling to protect them. Memo to the Conservative Establishment: unless you start fighting back, and standing up for pioneers like American Renaissance, this Anarcho-Tyranny is coming for you. http://vdare.com/hart/110130_establishment_conservatives.htm

When I wrote my latest book on the way America dominates the Mideast, I chose the title, American Raj, because this modern US imperium so closely resembled the famed Indian Raj – the way the British Empire ruled India. As I predicted in this book, and in a column last April, Egypt was headed for a major explosion. America’s Mideast Raj is now on fire. Whether it survives or not remains to be seen. One cannot escape a sense that we may be looking at a Mideast version of the 1989 uprisings across Eastern Europe that brought down its Communist regimes and then the Soviet Union. Americans should be uneasy seeing crowds of Egyptians pleading for freedom and justice watched over by US-supplied tanks. There are indeed certainly strong similarities between the old Soviet East Bloc and the spreading intifada across the police states of America’s Mideast Raj. http://www.lewrockwell.com/margolis/margolis225.html

Using a combination of a Hollywood press agent, Madison Avenue ad firm and a media business channel the CNBC cheerleaders, the Davos clan relishes in their ill-gotten privilege and influence. The too big to fail mantra fits into the nihilism of their cult devotion of manipulated markets. Globalism is god in Davos. Genuine entrepreneurial business creation shares the wealth across a broad spectrum of contributors. Not so, with those who revere monopolies and use the tools of derivative financing as a means of cabal consolidation. Globalism has achieved one dominant objective; namely, the separation of most depraved from the stark reality of those who pay the price of Free Trade oppression. Feed and fuel the appetites of the Masters of the Universe are on the permanent agenda of the Davos screen. http://www.batr.org/totalitariancollectivism/013011.html

In recent months, the open dialogue between tyranny and freedom has hit its crescendo in Europe and North Africa. America, the country of extremes, has yet to respond to its own brand of tyranny. The surveillance state is now entrenched; free speech is set to be eradicated; and the Internet kill switch has been placed in the White House, while it has been calmly announced that world is indeed run by “Globocrats,” but not a conspiracy. And yet we are aware of it en masse. The alternative media, talk radio, lone activists, card-carrying organization members, and Facebook virtual activists are all something new for the managers of society to deal with. This certainly has not been present in past closed totalitarian systems. The dialogue is becoming heated to a point where the elite controllers seem to be worried about what they might have overlooked in their desire to predict and control mass populations. So much so that they have engaged us, seemingly looking for a truce — or perhaps a bait and switch. http://www.activistpost.com/2011/01/tipping-point-has-passed-sweeping.html

Events in the Middle East are moving too fast for the Obama administration to think it can get away with Plan A and Plan B reaction strategies according to the regimes or leaders it wants to keep in and out of power. Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, left, shakes hands with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, as she arrives at the Presidential Palace in Sanaa, Yemen, Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2011. (AP Photo/Hani Mohammed) Consider the response of the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, to Hezbollah tightening its grip on power in Lebanon this week – Washington might have to pull its funding worth hundreds of millions for Lebanon, her office warned. But as democracy demonstrators were confronted by thousands of baton-wielding policemen in the streets in Cairo, there was no mention of pulling the $US2 billion-plus cheque that Washington writes for the octogenarian President, Hosni Mubarak, each year. http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2011/01/28-8
Our rulers can’t see the locomotive coming down the tracks, even though they’re standing right in its way: they still insist on the myth of “American exceptionalism,” which supposedly anoints us with a special destiny and gives us the right to order the world according to our uniquely acquired position of preeminence. Yet that preeminence is increasingly being called into question by the economic facts of reality – and our own refusal to get our financial house in order. Blinded by hubris, and the habit of authority, the political class in America is no different, in essence, from its counterparts in Tunisia and Egypt: corrupt, arrogant, and used to commanding obedience, the Best and the Brightest are prisoners of their own complacency. Unable to comprehend, or sympathize with, the plight of the world’s miserable masses, encased in a bubble where the worst crisis they have to personally face is a broken chair lift at Davos, these preening Louis XIVs and Marie Antoinettes are in for a rude shock. The nature of these populist revolts against authority will take on a different character according to where and when they occur, naturally enough: in Tunisia and Egypt, we see protests sparked by petty humiliations such as Mr. Bouazizi had to endure. In Greece and Great Britain, mass upsurges are the result of austerity budgets that cut ordinary people off at the knees while the banksters get bailed out. In America, we see the Tea Party rising against the tyranny of indebtedness and economic strangulation of the ordinary citizen – but this is just a prelude to the rising chorus of discontent and outright rebellion that will threaten American society in the years to come. The revolutionary wave now sweeping the world will not exempt America, in spite of the myth of “American exceptionalism.” http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2011/01/27/the-revolutionary-wave/
In response to widespread protests and mass unrest, the authoritarian Egyptian government has completely shut down the country’s access to the internet, eliminating the use of social networking websites, other effective tools of communication and organisation, and effectively sealing Egypt off from the rest of the world. http://www.infowars.com/egypts-internet-kill-switch-coming-to-america/
The Patriot Act drove a stake through the heart of the Bill of Rights, violating at least six of the ten original amendments – the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Amendments – and possibly the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, as well. The Patriot Act also redefined terrorism so broadly that many non-terrorist political activities such as protest marches, demonstrations and civil disobedience were considered potential terrorist acts, thereby rendering anyone desiring to engage in protected First Amendment expressive activities as suspects of the surveillance state. The Patriot Act justified broader domestic surveillance, the logic being that if government agents knew more about each American, they could distinguish the terrorists from law-abiding citizens – no doubt an earnest impulse shared by small-town police and federal agents alike. According to Washington Post reporter Robert O’Harrow, Jr., this was a fantasy that had “been brewing in the law enforcement world for a long time.” And 9/11 provided the government with the perfect excuse for conducting far-reaching surveillance and collecting mountains of information on even the most law-abiding citizen. http://www.lewrockwell.com/whitehead/whitehead25.1.html
Zbigniew Brzezinski’s much feared “global political awakening” is in full swing. Revolts in Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia and other countries represent a truly monumental worldwide rallying cry for freedom that threatens to immeasurably damage the agenda for one world government, but only if the successful revolutionaries can prevent themselves from being co-opted by a paranoid and desperate global elite. http://www.prisonplanet.com/brzezinskis-feared-global-awakening-has-arrived.html
What we are seeing across the Arab world is not just the undoing of corrupt regimes. We are seeing the undoing of America’s entire foreign policy in that region. No wonder there must be deep misgiving in Washington over the recent turmoil in this key energy-producing region. For decades, US administrations have, through a cocktail of ignorance and arrogance, deluded themselves that they could get away with a mendacious contradiction. That contradiction is the espousal of democracy and peace in the Middle East while at the same time sponsoring regimes that act in every way to undermine any path to democracy and peace. And the vast majority of people in the Middle East see through this delusion. They are well aware that at the root of democratic change in the region is not just getting rid of internal corrupt rulers – it is the overthrow of Washington’s imperialist policy, which has long subjugated Arab countries to despotic rule. http://globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=22975

Astounding things are happening in Egypt. Tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, are on the streets. As I write, there are reports that protestors have taken over police stations and attacked headquarters of the ruling party in several cities. Activists are now reporting that police in Alexandria have downed their weapons and are mingling peacefully with the crowds. And some police officers in Cairo are apparently now siding with the protestors. http://uruknet.com/?p=m74369&hd=&size=1&l=e
You don’t have to eat cattle who have worn trenbolone ear implants to end up with the growth stimulating androgenic hormone in your body reported the Associated Press in 2008. Water taken near a Nebraska feedlot had four times the trenbolone levels as other water samples and male fathead minnows nearby had low testosterone levels and small heads. Nor do you have to see a doctor to imbibe a witch’s brew of prescriptions like pain pills, antibiotics and psychiatric, cholesterol, asthma, epilepsy and heart meds in your drinking water, says the AP.

For both the welfare state—the major entitlement programs, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security—and the warfare state—the near $1 trillion we spend yearly on wars, 700 to 1,000 military bases in some 140 countries, foreign aid and the military industrial complex—have to be downsized. We cannot make good on all the promises our politicians have made, and we cannot defend in perpetuity all the countries we agreed to defend in the Cold War. And if this downsizing is not done by our leaders, the decisions will be forced upon us when China and our other creditors come to us to say: We have enough of your dollars. We don’t want any more. But if we must take them, we want a higher rate of interest to cover the higher risk of default. For you Americans look to us to be headed for the same place where Greece and Ireland may be found today. http://vdare.com/buchanan/110127_sputnik.htm
Pressed on CNN’s Situation Room about details on his budget cut plans, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) says end all foreign aid–and when pressed further says that includes to Israel. Paul touches on the lack of wisdom of funding both sides of an arms race in the Middle East, then hat-tips to Israel’s role as a fountain of peace and democracy in the Middle East, but concludes that, especially when we’re borrowing all the money from China, all foreign aid has to go. It’s an interesting dance, avoiding seeming critical of Israel (which he refused to do), yet still doing the one thing that people who get upset at those who are critical of Israel want the least out of a U.S. politician: cutting off U.S. support. http://reason.com/blog/2011/01/27/rand-paul-end-all-aid-to-israe

A doctor has been accused of snapping the spinal cords of seven newborn babies with a pair of scissors in a ‘House of Horrors’ abortion clinic.
Philadelphia doctor Kermit Gosnell allegedly carried out the ‘barbaric’ killings with the help of nine employees – one of them a 15- year-old high school student who was encouraged to perform operations and administer anaesthesia.
Prosecutors claim the babies were murdered after they were born alive in illegal botched late-term abortions during the sixth, seventh or eighth months of pregnancy.
Gosnell, 69, was charged with murdering the babies and a 41-year-old mother who died after being accidentally overdosed with anaesthetics.

America’s jobs crisis began a decade ago. Long before the housing bubble burst and Wall Street melted down, something in our national job-creation machine went horribly wrong.
The years between the brief 2001 recession and the 2008 financial collapse gave us solid growth in our gross national product, soaring corporate profits, and a low unemployment rate—but job creation lagged stubbornly behind, more so than in any economic expansion since World War II.
The Great Recession wiped out what amounts to every U.S. job created in the 21st century. But even if the recession had never happened, if the economy had simply treaded water, the United States would have entered 2010 with 15 million fewer jobs than economists say it should have.

For years, EFF has been warning that the anti-circumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act can be used to chill speech, particularly security research, because legitimate researchers will be afraid to publish their results lest they be accused of circumventing a technological protection measure.

We’ve never been sorrier to be right. These two things are precisely what’s happening in Sony v. Hotz. If you have missed this one, Sony has sued several security researchers for publishing information about security holes in Sony’s PlayStation 3.

It is not often that one sees an entire nation marching in lockstep to go over a cliff into an abyss, but that is essentially what the United States is doing at the moment. Not only have there been strong hints from the Obama Administration that the US presence in Iraq and Afghanistan will go on into the dim future, but there is also no sign of any necessary course correction in other areas. Israel, backed by Washington, continues its reckless policies and may be cranking up for a new war against Lebanon and Syria with the ultimate objective of involving its American patron in fighting against Iran. Clearly President Obama is unwilling to take any risks by challenging existing policies. He is edging towards what he perceives as the political center and is preparing to ride the status quo to electoral victory in 2012. http://original.antiwar.com/giraldi/2011/01/26/the-road-to-national-suicide/

Benjamin Emanuel, a Jew from Russia whose real name was Ezekiel Auerbach, was arrested by British police for terrorist activities in the months prior to Israeli independence. Many of the British policemen killed by Emanuel and his Irgun colleagues between 1947 and 1948 had been transferred to Palestine upon Indian and Pakistani independence in 1947. Irgun saw the increase of British policemen from the Indian subcontinent as a major threat. The Jewish terrorist murders of British troops and policemen resulted in massive anti-Jewish riots in London, Liverpool, Glasgow, Manchester, and Cardiff in 1947. In 1946, Emanuel’s Irgun bombed the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, killing 91 people, including 28 British soldiers and policemen. http://www.salem-news.com/articles/january262011/emanuel-palestine.php

It’s time to think about the nature of the next Arab-Israeli war. The release by the Arab satellite network al-Jazeera of 16,000 leaked Palestinian documents covering the past 10 years of peace negotiations has driven a stake through the heart of the already moribund “peace process,” and we hear constant warnings that when the hope of a peace settlement is finally extinguished, the next step is a return to war.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently took a four-day tour of the Middle East, at each stop telling various allies and enemies, in classic American fashion, what they must do. And yet as she spoke, events in Lebanon, Iraq, Algeria, and even Egypt seemed to spin ever more out of American control. Meanwhile, the regime in Tunisia, one of the autocratic and repressive states Washington has been supporting for years even as it prattles on about “democracy” and “human rights,” began to crumble. http://www.commondreams.org/view/2011/01/26-7

The Palestine Papers are as damning as the Balfour Declaration. The Palestinian “Authority” – one has to put this word in quotation marks – was prepared, and is prepared to give up the “right of return” of perhaps seven million refugees to what is now Israel for a “state” that may be only 10 per cent (at most) of British mandate Palestine. And as these dreadful papers are revealed, the Egyptian people are calling for the downfall of President Mubarak, and the Lebanese are appointing a prime minister who will supply the Hezbollah.

The uprising in Egypt on Tuesday is of infinitely greater importance than the goon show staged by the corporate-lackey-in-chief and the great mooing herd of cud-chewers in Congress the same night. For decades, the remarkably brutal — and rottenly stagnant — dictatorship in Egypt has been one of linchpins of Washington’s never-ending effort to “project dominance” over the Middle East.

The house that Jordan Sanford now calls home sits on a barren hilltop near Eagle Mountain, in a secluded, partially developed subdivision. Inside, there are tall ceilings and polished wood floors, and the natural light pours in from the windows. It’s a big improvement from the tent Sanford called home two years ago while deployed in Iraq. As comfortable as Sanford, 22, feels in his new home, it isn’t his–he shares it with up to eight other war veterans. Otherwise known as the Ark of Eagle Mountain, it is a transitional facility for soldiers who have come home from war only to find themselves without a place to live. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700103712/Veteran-crisis-Newest-war-vets-become-homeless-at-alarming-rate.html?pg=1

The federal deficit for the fiscal year 2011, which ends Sept. 30, is projected at between $1,200 billion and $1,500 billion. Thus, the $100 billion in cuts the firebrands are pushing, and few think they will get, add up at best to 8 percent of the deficit and 2.5 percent of the $3.87 trillion budget Obama proposed. Thus, at best, this Congress will only slightly reduce the rate of speed at which we are heading toward a debt default.

The city of Detroit is about to close half of its public schools, but since Detroit has been virtually all black for some time now– is anyone really surprised by this?
Detnews.com reports: “Detroit Public Schools would close nearly half of its schools in the next two years, and increase high school class sizes to 62 by the following year, under a deficit-reduction plan filed with the state. The plan, part of a monthly update Emergency Financial Manager Robert Bobb gives the Department of Education, was filed late Monday to provide insight into Bobb’s progress in his attempt to slash a $327 million deficit in the district to zero over the next several years. Under it, the district would slim down from 142 schools now to 72 during 2012-13.”

In the news story printed below at the end of this post, a 15-year-old girl’s rape lie caused the boy she accused, who was just 16, to be arrested. Yet, according to the news story: “The decision to prosecute the girl, now 16, was criticised by anti-rape campaigners. Lisa Longstaff, of the campaign group Women Against Rape, said: ‘It is awful that a girl so young has been prosecuted in this way.’”
Read that again, and let it sink in. If the girl’s lie had its intended effect, the boy would have been tried as an adult and convicted of the extremely serious felony of rape. No one — no one — would have said “it’s awful” that a boy so young should be prosecuted.

by Ron Paul. I am pleased that the Constitution has received a lot of attention in recent weeks, thanks to the tea party movement. The 112th Congress kicked off with a reading of the Constitution on the floor of the House. It goes without saying that Members of Congress should have read the Constitution many times, and should continue to study it. Citing the particular clause of the Constitution that authorizes newly introduced legislation is a reasonable suggestion, yet in reality it will do little to restrain unconstitutional growth of the federal government. We have had such rules in the past and no benefit came of it. The laws that are passed reflect the preferences and personal agendas of those in charge. For too long those agendas have expanded government at the expense of personal liberty, regardless of which political party was in charge. This expansion of government clearly violated the Constitution, yet it was always argued that this or that program somehow conformed to that “living” document. http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul718.html
We hear a lot about how if only men would “man up,” take the reins and stop acting like overgrown children, women would magically fall in line and reveal their inner sainthood, which is only kept corked in by those awful men all around them. This is a recent slant on the old myth of women’s inherent purity that has been floating around since the Romantics made a splash in Western thought and literature. For some time before the sexual revolution, men’s depravity was a given, and for the most part women did behave well and behave as ladies. Today, however, now that women’s liberation has been achieved through the economic and legal subjugation of men, it’s getting a lot harder to make a case for female purity and blamelessness. http://www.the-spearhead.com/2011/01/24/the-lesson-of-laura-ingalls-wilder/
Prior to the mid 1990′s contrails faded within minutes. Now they expand and create artificial clouds. And you wonder why air and rain samples are showing heavy metals way above toxic levels for human health. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6Q0x2t-guU&feature=player_embedded
Thus, we see that a religion and nation founded upon the depraved teachings of the Pharisees is not bringing forth the fruits of high-mindedness, tolerance, and peace in the way evangelicals have eagerly anticipated for more than a century. Instead, this apostate system, “Babylon the Great,” whose forebears tried to extirpate the infant church 2,000 years ago, produces the same bitter fruit: persecution. This persecution may manifest itself in Israel against Arabs or Messianic believers — or internationally through Jewish-created, Christian-persecuting ADL “anti-hate” laws. But make no mistake. Persecution from Jewish sources is the wave of the future. Judao-Pharisaism threatens freedom everywhere. http://www.truthtellers.org/alerts/CompleteGuideKillingGentiles.html
Get ready for a rocky year. From now on, rising prices, powerful storms, severe droughts and floods, and other unexpected events are likely to play havoc with the fabric of global society, producing chaos and political unrest. Start with a simple fact: the prices of basic food staples are already approaching or exceeding their 2008 peaks, that year when deadly riots erupted in dozens of countries around the world. It’s not surprising then that food and energy experts are beginning to warn that 2011 could be the year of living dangerously — and so could 2012, 2013, and on into the future. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27332.htm
Have no doubt: Fear has been drummed hard and hammered deep into the Sheeple. Precisely as planned, millions of ordinary human beings have been artfully molded into a submissive, tractable pulp, ready to believe virtually anything they’re told, eager to concede just about every freedom they cherish, willing to relinquish almost every right they hold precious—all so they can be “protected” from those turbaned, self-detonating camelback bogeymen lurking behind every bush. http://www.veteranstoday.com/2011/01/24/nila-sagadevan-911-mission-accomplished/
Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura has taken steps to sue the TSA and the Department of Homeland Security, naming their chiefs John Pistole and ‘Big Sis’ Janet Napolitano in a lawsuit that will take on invasive airport pat-downs. http://www.infowars.com/ventura-strikes-back-with-lawsuit-against-tsa/
Barack Obama is another stock character in the cyclical political theater embraced by the liberal class. Act I is the burst of enthusiasm for a Democratic candidate who, through clever branding and public relations, appears finally to stand up for the interests of citizens rather than corporations. Act II is the flurry of euphoria and excitement. Act III begins with befuddled confusion and gnawing disappointment, humiliating appeals to the elected official to correct “mistakes,” and pleading with the officeholder to return to his or her true self. Act IV is the thunder and lightning scene. Liberals strut across the stage in faux moral outrage, delivering empty threats of vengeance. And then there is Act V. This act is the most pathetic. It is as much farce as tragedy. Liberals-frightened back into submission by the lunatic fringe of the Republican Party or the call to be practical-begin the drama all over again. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27329.htm
Reagan established a woeful legacy. When he took office, the national debt stood at 1 trillion dollars. Over the last 30 years, the government has accumulated an additional 12 trillion dollars in debt. “If right this moment you went out and started spending one dollar every single second, it would take you more than 31,000 years to spend one trillion dollars,” writes The Economic Collapse. The U.S. debt is now 90 percent of the GDP, or Gross Domestic Product. Reagan was a tax-and-spender and promoter of big government from the get-go. “As governor of California and president of the United States, he enacted policies that, in the main, greatly expanded the role and size of government,” writes Anthony Gregory. “As governor, he oversaw the largest tax increase in Californian history. Democratic Governor Jerry Brown cut back the tax rate when he came to office.” http://www.infowars.com/reagans-centennial-praise-for-state-power-over-the-individual/
Jim Wallis
In the wake of the Tucson shootings, there has been a new call to “tone down” political rhetoric. Of course, much of the call to “civility” has come from the left – accompanied by hateful, uncivil rhetoric – which seeks to both politically exploit the situation as well as shut down its opposition. One of the loudest voices for “civility” comes from Jim Wallis and the Sojourners group, which seek to espouse a “Progressive Gospel” in which Christianity is melded with the Welfare State. After the shooting, Wallis wrote that it was “an attack on the soul of the nation,” which is nothing less than a declaration that the only Gospel is a political gospel. http://www.lewrockwell.com/anderson/anderson311.html
How many churches on the recent Sanctity of Human Life Sunday mentioned the right to life of countless numbers of Iraqis and Afghans who have been killed by American bombs and bullets in unjust wars instigated by the United States? How many churches mentioned the right to life of U.S. soldiers who have died in vain and for a lie in senseless foreign wars? If the pro-lifers in churches that observed Sanctity of Human Life Sunday care about innocent children then surely they mentioned children in Iraq and Afghanistan who have lost their parents because of the U.S. waging war on their countries, children born with birth defects due to the U.S. military using depleted uranium, and children in Iraq killed by brutal U.S. sanctions? Surely they mentioned the orphaned and emotionally scarred children of dead and injured U.S. soldiers? Although some churches may have mentioned these things, I suspect that the number is rather small or, in the case of most evangelical churches, very insignificant. And if it be argued that the churches that observed Sanctity of Human Life Sunday should be excused because the day is just about abortion then what about the rest of the year? Do not adults have the same right to life as unborn children? Do not foreigners who are not a threat to this country have the same right to life as American babies? Do not U.S. soldiers have the same right to life that other Americans have? http://www.lewrockwell.com/vance/vance226.html
Senior law enforcement personnel from across America recently traveled to Israel with ADL. They met with their Israeli counterparts and learned how to better predict, prevent and respond to terrorism. The Terrorism Committee of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), comprising sixteen police chiefs and FBI terrorism task force representatives, participated in the trip, which is sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League. They were accompanied by ADL Director of Security Robert Martin and ADL Washington D.C. Regional Director David Friedman. http://www.adl.org/learn/news/Mission_Israel.asp
East will never meet the West of Adam Smith. China never had a culture or tradition of respecting individual human rights. Why would anyone assume that a regime that houses worker slaves in huge chicken coops would adopt a fair trade economy? The Chinese juggernaut is a creature of Western creation. The Red Dragon never reflects the noble contributions of wealth development that grew a stable middle class and spread the fruits of democratic principles. The Chinese model is a harbinger of the global gulag and the coerced society designed to demolish cherished Western Civilization values and liberties. The masters of political confrontations have found a better way than waging world wars for imposing their planetary dominance. http://batr.org/reactionary/012311.html
The recent attempt to smear American Renaissance by “linking” it to Arizona spree-killer Jared Lee Loughner was rapidly refuted. On closer examination, the sources were bogus, the liars who concocted the claim scuttled for the wainscoting, and Loughner turned out to be a left-wing nutcase. But the mere fact that the charge was false does not undo all the damage. http://www.counter-currents.com/2011/01/on-violence/?sms_ss=email&at_xt=4d3d7ad83f7749ae%2C0

A benefit of the growing Israeli influence on American politics, as I’ve mentioned before, is that brusque Israelis are less likely to disguise their inner thoughts to conform to the rules of politesse. Jeffrey Goldberg, national correspondent for The Atlantic, was born and bred in America. Yet, having enlisted in the Israeli Defense Force, he seems to have picked up some of the Jewish state’s characteristic frankness. So, while much of the rest of the MainStream Media was flailing about trying to concoct new rationalizations for their furious attempt to pin that Arizona psycho’s rampage on mass-market Republican spokespeople like Sarah Palin, Bill O’Reilly, and Glenn Beck, Goldberg cut to the chase. In Glenn Beck’s Jewish Problem (January 18, 2011), Goldberg simply accused Beck, the autodidactic Fox News talker, of anti-Semitism. Now, Beck might strike a neutral observer as wildly pro-Semitic. But, you see, Goldberg has a list. http://vdare.com/sailer/110123_goldberg.htm

Jennifer Rubin
Jennifer Rubin, the Washington Post’s neocon blogger, is very upset. According to Rubin, an article by the notoriously anti-Semitic Time Magazine claimed that “Jews only care about money.” Wow! To think a very mainstream liberal publication would publish such a thing. Surely concentration camps for Jews cannot be far behind. So I thought I would check the Time article just to actually comprehend the evil myself. http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2011/01/the-threshold-for-anti-semitism-reaches-a-new-low/
Money is much more than just money — and it would be a big mistake to believe that money is “neutral.” No less than science, no less than technology or language, money cannot be neutral. Twenty-three centuries ago, Aristotle observed that “human need is insatiable.” Well, “insatiable” is the right word here; there is never enough of it. And yes, because there is never enough of it, there cannot be a surplus of it either. The desire for money is a desire that can never be satisfied because it feeds on itself. Any quantity of it whatsoever must be increased to the point that better must always mean more. The thing, of which one can always have more, one will never have enough of. That is the reason why ancient European religions continuously warned against the passion for money. http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2011/01/money/
Clarence the Clown
Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik has never lost an election, but that was before his remarks assigning blame for the deadly Tucson, Ariz., shooting to political “vitriol” and calling Arizona “a mecca for prejudice and bigotry.” Now it’s Sheriff Dupnik who finds himself on the public-opinion hot seat. A group opposed to illegal immigration has begun an effort to recall the sheriff in a special election. Meanwhile, a Pima County tea party group is planning on holding a “Dump Dupnik” rally next week outside his office. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/jan/20/outspoken-tucson-sheriff-faces-recall-bid/

In the year 1980, 59.4% of voting-age U.S. women cast ballots in that fall’s presidential election. According to the Bureau of the Census, they were joined by 59.1% of voting-age men. That comparison is noteworthy because, 60 years after passage of the 19th Amendment granted them the franchise, it marked the first time in U.S. history that American women turned out in equal proportion to their male compatriots.1 What took them so long? http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1156/women-reluctant-voters-after-suffrage-19th-amendment
Blair insisted the Iranians “disagree fundamentally with our way of life” and that they had to be answered with military force of arms. He added that it was time for America and Britain to “get our heads out of the sand” and attack Iran. It suggests then that Blair’s “regrets” don’t imply a lesson learned, as his case for war with Iran, which he seems just as eager to start as the war with Iraq, is based on many of the same false allegations and mindless jingoism. http://news.antiwar.com/2011/01/21/after-half-hearted-apology-on-iraq-blair-urges-attack-on-iran/
A quick scan of the conference agenda and a little further reading shows that what The Politico and company mean by “dodging” immigration is that the conference was not solely dedicated to promoting amnesty and attacking the Republican Party for being racist because it supports some immigration enforcement. The Hispanic Leadership is a project of The American Action Network, a 527, and its non-profit wing The American Action Forum. The organizations were founded by McCain advisor Fred Malek. The American Action Network’s board boasts pro-amnesty former Senators Norm Coleman and Mel Martinez, along with neoconservatives like former Congressman Vin Weber. The non-profit wing the American Action Network is headed by Jeb Bush, along with many of his brother’s cabinet members, such as Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao and Homeland Security czar Tom Ridge—both of whom vigorously hyped Dubya’s amnesty bills. The only prominent Republican with a not entirely pro-amnesty record (though not particularly great one) is former Senator George Allen, who is hoping to reclaim his seat against Jim Webb in 2012. Similarly, the line-up of the conference was stacked heavily with Bush lackeys and other pro-amnesty speakers including Coleman, Martinez, Jeb Bush, along with Carlos Gutierrez, Lincoln Diaz Balart, Leslie Sanchez, and token Hispanic Republican columnist Ruben Navarrette. http://vdare.com/washington_watcher/110121_republican_hispandering.htm
The utter hypocrisy, economic ignorance, and general all around cluelessness of America’s political class – never very far from the surface — was on full display during Chinese President Hu Jintao’s visit to Washington this week. There was Nancy Pelosi, a longtime Sinophobe, hectoring the Chinese leader over his country’s human rights record – when her own country openly practices torture, spies on its own citizens, and has murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in a series of wars of “liberation. There was Paul Krugman, economist-in-chief of Bizarro World, explaining to us that Chinese subsidies which keep their exports affordable for US consumers are supposedly hurting us – when actually the opposite is the case. And there were the neocons over the Weekly Standard, pointing to the “boundless” military ambitions of the People’s Liberation Army and the alleged threat from Beijing – this from a magazine whose editor has proclaimed that the goal of US foreign policy ought to be “global hegemony”! Are these people deaf to their own absurd utterances? My guess is they just don’t care: after all, to whom are they answerable? Only their financial patrons, the various special interests that fund their careers, so making fools of themselves in sight of the whole world – the world outside the sealed cocoon of official Washington – is no big deal. The shameless – by definition – are immune to embarrassment. http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2011/01/20/china-%e2%80%93-a-paper-tiger/
Roughly 48,000 American troops are still based in Iraq seven years after the start of the war, according to the Washington Post. Since the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, 4,435 U.S. troops have been killed and more than 31,827 wounded in Iraq, according to the media. The total cost of the Iraq war has been estimated to be over $3 trillion. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article27313.htm

By any measure, Ted Kaczynski – a math prodigy who skipped two grades – was a brilliant and promising young man.

A recent poll in the German magazine “Welt der Wunder” conducted by the well known Emnid Institute results in astonishing 89% of the German respondents not believing the official line 9/11.

The truth, of course, is that the Arab world is so dysfunctional, sclerotic, corrupt, humiliated and ruthless – and remember that Mr Ben Ali was calling Tunisian protesters “terrorists” only last week – and so totally incapable of any social or political progress, that the chances of a series of working democracies emerging from the chaos of the Middle East stand at around zero per cent. The job of the Arab potentates will be what it has always been – to “manage” their people, to control them, to keep the lid on, to love the West and to hate Iran. http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/fisk/the-brutal-truth-about-tunisia-2186287.html
Does “mainstream” rap music contribute to these horrifying racially motivated killings against whites? There is a long history of big name black singers promoting violence towards whites in their songs. It was only weeks ago that one of the biggest black entertainers in the world, Kanye West, released a video in which he kills white women. West has received awards from the NAACP and the Nation of Islam. http://cofcc.org/2011/01/another-racially-motivated-serial-killer/
As Hu Jintao wings his way home, America’s hectoring still ringing in his ears, he must be thinking that maybe we Americans should stop lecturing them and take a closer look at ourselves. Revalue your currency, we demand of the Chinese, stop running these trade surpluses at our expense, start practicing free trade, and abandon these mercantilist and protectionist policies. But why should they? Why should China abandon a trade policy that is working marvelously well for them, and adopt a trade policy that is failing dismally for us? Does that make sense? Why should any nation emulate the U.S. trade policy of the Bush-Clinton-Bush era that has stripped us of a third of our manufacturing jobs and made us dependent on China and the world for the needs of our national life and the borrowed money to pay for them? Why would China, seeking to make herself an independent and self-sufficient nation, adopt a policy that cost us our independence? http://vdare.com/buchanan/110120_migrant_mistreatment.htm

Inspired by posts on The Passionate Attachment and America-Hijacked.com, argonium79 has produced a powerful short documentary on the inextricable relationship between Israel’s occupation of Palestine and America’s massive military budget. It’s the Occupation, Stupid features, in order of appearance, Eliot Spitzer, Ben Stein, Irving Kristol, Ron Paul, Michael Scheuer, Richard Curtiss, Eric Margolis, Loretta Alper, Scott Horton, Alison Weir, Glenn Greenwald, Paul Findley, Ilan Pappé, Osama bin Laden and George W. Bush. The narrator’s words are from Maidhc Cathail’s “Ben Stein: America is an underarmed country!” and “Kristol Clear: The Source of America’s Wars.” http://thepassionateattachment.com/2011/01/20/its-the-occupation-stupid/
There is something particularly horrifying when someone is shot in the head. Perhaps it’s the gruesome image, the destruction of the brain, the clear intent to kill. The recent shooting of Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords is made even more nightmarish by the location of her devastating injury. Those of us who focus on Israel-Palestine are acutely aware of this horror. Several years ago, I was researching the cause of death of Palestinian children killed by Israeli forces during the first months of the Second Intifadah, the Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation. As I counted up the numbers, I was chilled to discover that the single most frequent cause of death in those beginning months was “gunfire to the head.” http://counterpunch.org/weir01142011.html
John Graham’s writing on Jews and financial misbehavior is priceless, beginning with the must-read article he co-wrote with Kevin MacDonald, Is the Madoff Scandal Paradigmatic?. This week Graham brings us Did Schumer Shill for Madoff?, which strongly suggests that New York Senator Charles Schumer was complicit in the massive financial swindle perpetrated by co-ethnic Bernie Madoff. If Graham is correct, it wouldn’t be surprising if Schumer was not alone among high-level Jews in the American government whose actions benefited the financial sector — an area where it is widely acknowledged that Jews predominate — at the expense of the American economy as a whole. http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2011/01/the-smell-of-money/#more-6261

Whether it is the Obama Administration or any other we expect the change in attitude towards China by the U.S. as being one where both seek mutually beneficial policies. Despite the change in the fortunes of the two nations, there will be a desire to quietly adjust to the situation by both sides. And these adjustments will be huge. Just as Britain in the last century started as the number one world power and had to slip well down the ranks, so the U.S. will see the beginning of a similar process in the next couple of years. The greatest change in that process will be the shrinkage of the use of the U.S. dollar as the use of the yuan grows rapidly. http://www.gold-eagle.com/editorials_08/phillips011911.html
