The U.N. as a Tool in the Contemporary Shakedown of Lebanon
Rapists are the scum of the earth. Anyone who aggressively invades another person’s body, permanently scarring the victim’s psyche, deserves the maximum ethical justice. Whether on the spot or in a court of law, that justice should be firm and expedient. Too often that is not the case. Some rapists never pay for their crimes, no matter how many times they’ve been caught in the act. Those serial offenders are known as governments.

The zionists are in a frenzy. Their crimes are being exposed and that has them running in circles.
Their cries of anti-Semitism have been falling on deaf ears so new tactics had to be developed…

‘The skeleton shelf: how the media chooses who loses’
April 29, 2008
By Rideronthet ∙ Fear is Tyranny ∙ April 24, 2008
We the people are under fire from corporate media. Their intent is uncertain, but whether for indiscriminate profit or intentional distraction, media sources are bombarding us with smoke bombs of emotion, which steadily stupefy the American voter.
Take Jeremiah Wright, for example. We are asked to listen to a prominent preacher shout obscenities about our country, and we experience a sense of shock, which naturally turns to curiosity. It is democratic, as well as human, to desire an explantion for any loud display of emotion. The news and pundits, however, never satisfy the public’s curiosity. Network presents clip A to evoke audience emotion B, and network stifles curiosity C by jack-hammering emotion B endlessly into the skulls of audience, until curiosity C disappears, and portions of democratic process and human reason disappear with it. Giving a reasoned explanation of events might diminish dramatic effect and bore the audience, or even cause them to commiserate, where it was intended they should repugn. Whether or not Wright had good reason to shout, his brief exclamations should not have been tossed out nakedly. Corporate news websites provide links to the audio or video of the incendiary bits, but even with their unrestricted format, they rarely (if ever) offer full text of Reverend Wright’s sermons, even though the whole speech is, by definition, a better reflection of character than any one part.

‘Head of Catholic Church: Gaza will not die of hunger’
April 28, 2008
By The Palestinian Information Center ∙ April 25, 2008
GAZA, (PIC)– Father Manuel Musallam, head of the Roman Catholic Church in the Gaza Strip said on Friday that it is Gaza’s right not to die, and if it dies it will be in the battlefield. The Palestinian people will bear hunger and thirst because they seek freedom for themselves and not for their stomachs.
Father Musallam’s comments were made during a press conference he held jointly with the head of the Popular Committee Against the Siege (PCAS), MP Jamal al-Khudari.
He pointed out that there were 1.5 million people in Gaza whose dignity the occupation is trying to trample on and for whom the occupation, supported by a world which is deaf and dumb and which hampers any resolution that differentiates between the aggressor and the victim, is building mass graves.
Musallam added that the residents of Gaza are suffering from a devastated economy, poverty, hunger, unemployment and oppression and that women have sold their homes’ furniture and their jewellery to survive.
“There are thousands of Palestinian captives in Israeli jails, none of them is a prisoner of war, they are all hostages that include MPs, ministers, men, women and children. On the other hand there is a prisoner of war captured by the resistance from amongst hundreds of armed soldiers and tanks and the world is asking for freeing him while ignoring the Palestinian captives,” said father Musallam.
Finally he asked the Arab world: “What are you betting on when you accept the bitter Gaza siege? Are you betting on the Arab initiative, the Annapolis conference or the Oslo accords while in fact they all died?”
‘Evidence-based Bombing’

By publishing intelligence on a possible Syrian nuclear facility, the US has endorsed after the fact Israel’s illegal use of force in attacking it
By Scott Ritter ∙ The Guardian via Information Clearing House ∙ April 24, 2008
It looks as if Israel may, in fact, have had reason to believe that Syria was constructing, with the aid and assistance of North Korea, a facility capable of housing a nuclear reactor. The United States Central Intelligence Agency recently released a series of images, believed to have been made from a videotape obtained from Israeli intelligence, which provide convincing, if not incontrovertible, evidence that the “unused military building” under construction in eastern Syria was, in fact, intended to be used as a nuclear reactor. Syria continues to deny such allegations as false.
‘”Farewell Israel”: Myth and Reality’
April 27, 2008
By Alan Hart ∙ Information Clearing House ∙ April 24, 2008
With his political documentary FAREWELL ISRAEL, Bush, Iran and The Revolt of Islam, American director Joel Gilbert has launched what could be described as Zionism’s propaganda weapon of last resort.
The film is described by its promoters as “An historic journey, from the birth of Islam, through its 1,200 year reign over the civilised world, to the last 300 years of Islamic decline, overtaken and dominated by the West - then humiliated by a Jewish state… In this groundbreaking film, the total rejection of Israel by Muslim states since its inception in 1948 comes to light as a religious duty for Believers.” (My emphasis added).
According to the same promotional script: “The Iranian agenda for acquiring strategic weapons to eliminate Israel comes clearly into focus. Today, at the direction of Iran, Islamists are preparing for a fateful war for Islam - and Israel is the number one target and obstacle in the path of Islamic revival for Muslims.”
For the sake of discussion, let’s suppose that sometime in the foreseable future Iran does have nuclear weapons. Would it then go for a nuclear first strike against Israel? The answer, I assert, is no. Never! So what really is all the Zionist and American neo-con fuss about? Read the rest of this entry »
More opinionated “journalism” from the world’s leading “news” service (all hype and conjecture in red font): Read the rest of this entry »
There are certain standards of good journalism we should all expect and demand from major news agencies and wire services. For example, when a news service injects color into a report, it should be the opinion of the person or group being covered in the report, and attribution to the source of that opinion should be made evident by some form of citation, as in the emphasized portion of the following:
Israeli opposition leader Binyamin Netanyahu is a maniacal sociopath who not only profited off the Sept. 11 attacks but also played a part, current and former boyfriends said.
‘Israelis Rewriting History?’
April 22, 2008
By Attending the World ∙ March 26 & April 21, 2008
UPDATE: Please see Desert Peace: THE CAMERA EYES IN ON ISRAEL.. AND LIES
We’ve heard time and again that History is written by the Victor. And since Israel enjoys the blind support of the U.S. of A which Veto’s every U.N. resolution against Israel, regardless of the atrocities Israel commits, and with unwavering financial support in excess of $4.0 billion a year - that we know of - they will view themselves as Victors and try to get away with murder. To a large part, they have been successful.

A pro-Israel group’s plan to rewrite history on Wikipedia
Report

A pro-Israel pressure group is orchestrating a secret, long-term campaign to infiltrate the popular online encyclopedia Wikipedia to rewrite Palestinian history, pass off crude propaganda as fact, and take over Wikipedia administrative structures to ensure these changes go either undetected or unchallenged.
A series of emails by members and associates of the pro-Israel group CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America), provided to The Electronic Intifada (EI), indicate the group is engaged in what one activist termed a “war” on Wikipedia. Read the rest of this entry »
This Week in Apartheid Propaganda
April 19, 2008
During the week of April 10–16, the state of Israel kicked up its U.S. taxpayer-funded terror campaign against the Palestinian people. 29 Palestinians—including 10 children and a journalist—were killed by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) in the Gaza Strip. Two of the victims were extra-judicially executed. On April 16 alone, 13 of the victims—including eight children, two brothers and a journalist—were killed in Juhor al-Dikvillage in the central Gaza Strip, and a farmer was killed in the northern Gaza Strip. For the week, 81 Palestinians, mostly civilians—including 41 children, three women and a journalist—were wounded. [1]
In that span, The Associated Press ratcheted up its own campaign of sorts—Israeli damage control—wherein some of the most blatant examples of unethical news reporting were used in an obvious effort to take the focus off Israel’s crimes and marginalize the Palestinian resistance. This is nothing new to those familiar with the state-worshiping m.o. of corporate media and news agencies covering the Middle East.
‘”It is their right, it is their duty…”‘

“…to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their security.” - Thomas Jefferson
When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, and when our framers ventured into the realm of a constitutional republic, they did so at great risk, seeking great reward.
The United States was founded on Jefferson’s philosophy, along with Thomas Paine’s. “Every generation,” Jefferson wrote, “needs a new revolution,” because, as Paine noted, “when we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary.”
Just as virtue is not hereditary, neither is constitution. “The American constitutions are to liberty, what a grammar is to language,” reflected Paine. “They define its parts of speech, and practically construct them into syntax.” Just as a proper sentence requires attention to grammar, a proper liberty requires attention to constitution. The failure to attend to grammar is perhaps an insult to the educational system, but the neglect shown toward constitution today is an affront extending beyond the realm of man–an offense to the Author of the laws of nature, wretchedly declaring that the senseless mob of human majority can overrule the mandates of God.
Whose right and whose duty is it to throw off a government that ignores constitutional liberties? The civilian military first and foremost, for they have taken an oath to protect, preserve and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic (this would include the FBI, CIA, President, Congress, and federal courts, when these groups extend their powers beyond constitutional limits); but ultimately the right and duty lie where the expense must fall–with the people. What is the expense? How much are we willing to give up to cling to liberty? I yield again to Paine, who wrote, “can we but leave posterity with a settled form of government, and independent constitution of its own, the purchase at any price will be cheap.” The ends (constitution) justify the means, which I hope will be peaceful, but control is rarely so yielded.
Regardless of the nature of the struggle, I will always stand on the side of constitutional individual liberty. The natural moral code, given to us by God, requires that we disobey unjust laws, which now emanate from Washington DC with alarming regularity. If this reads as a threat to the federal government’s usurpation of power, I have written with clarity. In Jefferson’s words: “When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty.” All Americans, an overwhelming majority of whom have expressed their malcontent for Congress and the President, should together declare war against the current tyrants, who have unwisely declared war on our cherished Constitution of liberty. Their supposed guards, if they find in themselves a single ounce of civic virtue, or a hint of concern for their fellow person, will certainly be leading the charge. The others, who will read this and call it sedition, are the Redcoats of the new revolution, and should be pitied for their lack of faith in humankind.

Thanks for telling me it was a good day until I briefed you. [Redacted name]–You are only interested in your career and provide no support to your staff–no msn [mission] support and you don’t care. I cannot support a msn that leads to corruption, human right abuses and liars. I am sullied–no more. I didn’t volunteer to support corrupt, money grubbing contractors, nor work for commanders only interested in themselves. I came to serve honorably and feel dishonored. I trust no Iraqi. I cannot live this way. All my love to my family, my wife and my precious children. I love you and trust you only. Death before being dishonored any more. Trust is essential–I don’t know who trust anymore. [sic] Why serve when you cannot accomplish the mission, when you no longer believe in the cause, when your every effort and breath to succeed meets with lies, lack of support, and selfishness? No more. Reevaluate yourselves, cdrs [commanders]. You are not what you think you are and I know it.
COL Ted Westhusing
Life needs trust. Trust is no more for me here in Iraq.

‘ISRAELIS FEAST WHILE GAZANS STARVE’
April 13, 2008
By DesertPeace ∙ April 13, 2008
Preparations are under way in Israel for the biggest holiday on the Hebrew calendar, Passover. A time for families and friends to join together at a traditional feast known as the Seder, a time to remember the suffering, the humiliations, the bondage of the ancient Hebrews in a foreign land.
The shops are full of frantic shoppers buying special items for the special feast. Children are already out of school so they too can help in the preparations. Plans are being made for vacations, day trips, picnics… all the fun things associated with the Festival…. truly a Festival of Freedom, when all are finally free.
But are they? Just meters away there is starvation. There is illness. There is death. As one side of the wall celebrates Freedom, the other side is burying their murdered children.
