Yesterday I watched with some amazement how the entire US Congress stood up and down and up and down and up and down again “interrupting” Netanyahu’s speech with obligatory standing ovations and thought to myself, is there any way at all a country could humiliate itself any more? Keep in mind that the man for whom the US Congress folks were obsequiously hopping up and down is the same man who humiliated the US president in public, inside the White House. Now, setting aside all the empty rhetoric, was was Netanyahu’s message to Congress and the rest of the world? Simply this: Israel does not give a damn about international law or public opinion and the only thing Israel will ever “negotiate” with the Palestinians is a wholesale unconditional surrender.
This is actually very good news.
It is good for the Palestinians because it makes any and all forms of “negotiations” with Israel look exactly like what they are: at best, a total waste of time, at worst, a euphemism for capitulation.
It is good for the (few) mentally sane Israelis who are not subscribing to the prevailing racist ideology because it makes the racist delusion of a “two state solution” unambiguously unachievable.
It is good for the entire Middle-East because it further polarizes all politicians into two clearly separated groups: on one side Israeli puppets and traitors and on the other (more or less) popular leaders actually representing their constituencies.
It is good news for the USA because it now shows to those how still have a functioning brain that the real “President” of the USA is Benjamin Netanyahu and the real “Congress” of the United States is AIPAC.
The first necessary step in resolving any problem is to diagnose it. Without that first step, no solution can every be found. In this case, the entire planet has a problem and that problem has two faces, like a coin: a secular one and a religious one:
The secular one is called Zionism and it can be summed up in the following sentence: “God does not exist, but He gave us the Holy Land”. This ideology is a co-product of 19h century European nationalism and it is therefore not surprising that it is racist, imperialist and colonial in its deepest core.
The religious one is called Talmudic/Phariseic “Judaism” (which has nothing in common with the religion of the Old Testament and) which can be summed up in the following sentence: “God created Jews in His image and likeness and He created the goyim from (a different essence from) the earth”. This belief in two different essences between Jews and goyims can only be described as Satanic (as Christ Himself said I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan Rev 2:9).
What we see in modern Israel is an inevitable fusion of these two initially distinct ideologies into a new one, which could be loosely referred to as the self-worship cult of the Jewish tribe. This cult has a new, quasi Christ-like, messiah – the Jewish tribe as a whole who suffered during the so-called “Holocaust” for the sake of repairing the world (tikkun olam). This collective messiah has lead the Jewish people back to the Land of Israel and he will restore peace to the entire planet by ruling the world from Jerusalem with the Jews as mediators between God and the goyim (hence the “undivided and eternal” capital of Israel).
This is not an ideology which can be negotiated with. Certain ideologies or world views leave some room for compromise, but one which is both “God-given” AND racist does not.
Is this nuts? Yes, absolutely. Is this Satanic? Totally. Is this real? You bet it is! Just listen to Netanhayu and the rest of them. They have finally come out of “their closet” and they are openly proclaiming their beliefs. The predictable result of this great “coming out” (which, I would argue, began under Clinton) will be the inevitable polarization of the entire planet into the same two camps as in the Middle-East: those who are with “them” and those who are not (does that not remind you of Junior’s “you are either with us or with the terrorists”?).
The stakes in his conflict are truly huge, way bigger than only Palestine or the entire Middle-East. What is at stake is the soul of mankind, our very humanity. Will we submit to the absolutely evil ideology combining secular racism and religious satanism, or will our civilizations fight for the idea of the common humanity and brotherhood of ALL humans? Will we find it in ourselves to finally “globalize the Intifada” or will we submit to the Synagogue of Satan?
Though at times this Synagogue of Satan appears almighty, it is not and the real outcome of this struggle is not only external, but it is also internal: it is primarily fought inside the soul of each human being. As soon as a person commits himself/herself to resist evil that evil is already instantly defeated in the soul of this person! Sure, the Empire seems powerful, but its power is only external. The reality is that it is being beat on all fronts and it is on the retreat – in particular inside the mind and souls of more and more people. Just think of how many people reached their “breaking point” listening to Netanyahu, Obama and the rest of them in the past couple of days. Whatever the figure, I can promise you that more people opened their eyes to what is really going on than were put to sleep by it all.
Netanyahu and Obama are probably doing more than anyone else to globalize the Intifada and, for that at least, we ought to be grateful.

Yes I would agree with most of that except for one thing. Why “so called Holocaust?” You’re not denying that it happened are you? If so you’re putting yourself in some very bad company.
Doesn’t it say somewhere in the Bible that “my house shall be a house of prayer for all peoples?” If so this makes a nonsense of religious racism which can only be ungodly. I’m surprises so many evangelical Christians in the US are Zionists since Paul said clearly that there is neither gentile or Jew but we are all one in Christ Jesus.
@anonymous: You’re not denying that it happened are you?
Oh man, the Holocaust-enforcers are vigilant today. No, seriously, of course I am not denying that Hitler killed millions of people including many Jews. My beef with the word “Holocaust” revolves around the following considerations:
1) The word Holocaust comes from the Greek world Holocaust and means whole burnt offering (as in Leviticus 1:1-17). This word has an extremely strong religious connotation to it and if feeds directly in the new Jewish self-worship cult which proclaims that the “Jewish race” suffered a sacrifice for all of mankind in a messianic manner. If we accept that postulate, then the Nakba becomes a God-ordained event and a consequence of a God-pleasing sacrifice. What actually happened is that a group consisting of mostly pagans and adepts of black magic (the Nazis) murdered millions of people out of racist hatred. This was not a “Holocaust” in a soteriological sense and nobody was ‘saved’, ‘redeemed’ or otherwise ‘justified’ by it. The millions who died had not say in it and they were slaughtered completely against their will.
2) The world Holocaust directly describes a method, i.e. burning which feeds directly into the “crematoria” myth. Nobody was killed in any crematoria in German camps and it is highly unlikely that any significant amount of bodies were burned in this manner. Most victims of Nazi atrocities died from gunshot wounds, typhus, blood diarrhea, malnutrition and violent abuse.
3) Besides a direct meaning, the world Holocaust also has a unique and particularly toxic use: its serves to codify an entire mythology, a narrative which puts Jews as eternal innocent victims and everybody else as Antisemitic evildoers (if not actual, then at least potential).
Unlike all the other NUMEROUS genocides in human history, the Holocaust has an official death figure which cannot be disputed (6 million), a special nature (it was “genocide on an industrial scale”), a unique method (gas chambers) and special cause (the inexplicable yet universal Antisemitism of pretty much all of mankind). Finally, and even though mass murder never stopped, the acceptance of the “Holocaust dogma” entails a special committeemen to remain “vigilant” and never let that happen again – nevermind that Hitler’s genocide were just just one among many others, and not even a particularly large or long one and nevermind that since WWII all types of genocide continued to take place.
to be continued…
…continued here:
If so you’re putting yourself in some very bad company
Why? How many Holocaust deniers have you met, spoken to or read? I am talking about real hard-core *deniers* here, folks who believe that Hitler committed no, or very few, atrocities. Sure, they are totally wrong, but does that make them bad people? If yes, why? IMHO it makes them mistaken people, but I see no reason to shun their company or otherwise single them out for public condemnation. And if we look at *revisionists* – folks who very much agree that Hitler committed many atrocities, but who question the motives and actual mechanisms or the correct number of victims, I would say that I have a great deal of respect for them! No, not because I agree with all of them – if only because most of them don’t even agree with each other – but because I believe that revisionism is the very essence of historical research and the latter of fundamental human right. I also believe that the official Holocaust dogma as been modified many times (elements such as 4 million killed in Auschwitz or the making of soap with bodies have already been officially dropped) and that it still contains numerous non-proven elements (the figure if 6 million, to begin with) or exceedingly unlikely elements (the use of Zyklon B gas to kill a large number of people).
I MUCH rather be in the company of various crimethinkers than of dumb sheep parrotting whatever narrative they were conditioned to uncritically accept.

PS: rather then talking in the abstract, let’s take a real case and see what we find, ok? Why don’t you download and read the book “The gas chambers of Sherlock Holmes” (which you can legally download for free from here:
http://www.codoh.com/newsite/articles/samuelcrowell/xsherlock.pdf) and tell me if you find that the author should be singled out as the kind of folks which would be “bad company”, ok?
@anonymous: now that I have answered your question rather thoroughly, let me ask you one of my own:
WHY do YOU care about what I do or do not think about the so-called “Holocaust”? Do you have a personal stake in this topic and, if yes, why and, if no, why do you care? Would you care what I – or somebody else – would say or think about all the other genocides in history (partial list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genocides_in_history). And why should ANYBODY especially care about the genocide of Jews by Nazis considering that there are but a handful of morons out there who still adhere to the Nazi ideology and that there were literally hundreds and thousands of books written, movies made, monuments erected and even museums opened to denounce and commemorate the genocide of WWII?! Just read Norman Finkenstein’s “The Holocaust Industry” (http://www.amazon.com/Holocaust-Industry-Reflections-Exploitation-Suffering/dp/185984488X/) and tell me why in the world you would volunteer as a “Holocaust dogma” enforcer?
@Robert: Doesn’t it say somewhere in the Bible that “my house shall be a house of prayer for all peoples?”
Indeed. And it also says that “In your seed ALL the nations of the earth shall be blessed”.
All the major religions out there stress the common humanity of all mankind. If in South Africa some crackpots from the Gereformeerde Kerk in Suid-Afrika decided to use the Bible as a basis for Apartheid they utterly failed to get ANY traction at all with the rest of the (nominally) Christian world out there. Malcolm X totally denounced the Nation of Islam’s nonsense about “blue-eyed white devils” as soon as he traveled to Mecca and met Muslims from all races and all parts of the world. Any and all forms of racism are, of course, absolutely incompatible with the idea of a God creator of us all whether we call him Yaweh, Allah or Ishvara. Not so for the rabbinical “HaShem” or the “Ein Sof” of the Kabbalah who, according to these modern successors of the Pharisees, created only Jews in his image and likeness.
Truly a blasphemy if their ever was one!

The Kings are Waking Up

The kings are waking up.UAE’s royalty is hiring 800+ no muslim for profit Blackwater mercenaries. Their main objective is to squash any revolts from the slave-labor camps and to confront the Iranian influence in the region.CEO of Blackwater, Eric Prince, says the cheaper and better solution to combating Iran is to send small pockets of mercenaries into Middle Eastern countries. He wants to wage a shadow war against Iran. And it seems the kings are lining up.

The Secret War: The Zionist Spy and the Formation of the Shia-Con
WRITTEN BY S. M. ASADABADI

Hi, Saker;
Sorry to rain on anyone’s parade, but I think the awakening you are referring to will happen only outside the U.S.A.
I think Americans are perfectly well aware of what Israel is all about, and they completely endorse it.
Walter Russell Mead is, in my view, correct when he says:
“As the stunning and overwhelming response to Prime Minister Netanyahu in Congress showed, Israel matters in American politics like almost no other country on earth. Well beyond the American Jewish and the Protestant fundamentalist communities, the people and the story of Israel stir some of the deepest and most mysterious reaches of the American soul. The idea of Jewish and Israeli exceptionalism is profoundly tied to the idea of American exceptionalism. The belief that God favors and protects Israel is connected to the idea that God favors and protects America.”
http://blogs.the-american-interest.com/wrm/2011/05/25/the-dreamer-goes-down-for-the-count/
I, too, have long believed that there is what Goethe would have called an “elective affinity” between American Manifest Destiny and the Zionist vision. I think it has to do with the Calvinist and Gnostic bases of the American religious world view. Harold Bloom argued that Gnosticism is the true American religion. I agree. This is not at all incompatible with the Calvinist notion of double predestination, and it fits in neatly with the Calvinist notion that wealth is a sign of God’s favor.
When you combine this with the Deist and Masonic beliefs of the Founders, you must conclude that America was never a Christian nation in the sense of any kind of historical Christianity.
This also raises another vexing question. How far does a heresy have to stray “off the reservation” before it is no longer a “heresy” but a completely different religion? I think most theologically educated people would agree that Mormonism is not Christian at all. Much the same can be said of all the sects invented in the Anglo-Saxon world from 1830 onwards, which now dominate what is left of the religious landscape of America.
The irony of it is, that most Jews in America are far more “liberal” concerning the Palestinians etc., than their American Gentile counterparts. If most American Jews had any real say in this matter, I am not sure the modern “State of Israel” would ever have been created to begin with.
For these reasons, I harbor absolutely no hope whatsoever, that Americans will ever turn their backs on Israel. The U.S. and Israel will declare war on the rest of the planet before that ever happens.
Sorry, Saker, but that is how I see things.
“As soon as a person commits himself/herself to resist evil that evil is already instantly defeated in the soul of this person!”
I like that. It is a lot like Hezbollah’s philosophy. God requires that you RESIST evil as best as you can. He does not demand that you always win. Victory and defeat are in His hands.
Mary, Eric Prince may be getting in over his head. He is a private citizen and doesn’t have the kind of immunity that high government officials do. And AFAIK, hi is living in Dubai. In other words he is totally reachable. And if he starts killing Iranians, I’m sure they can and will “reach” him.
But if he sticks to killing protesters, he’ll probably be safe…for a while. Mubarak was “safe” too. Now looks like he’ll be on trial for murder and treason.
