I am not afraid or reluctant for my website visitors to read uncensored arguments in opposition. But, at least on my site you can hear my point of view as well, which is quite unlike the myriad anti-David Duke sites and propaganda that always tell people what I am purported to believe rather than what I actually do believe, speak and write. In the letter below a Marine Captain suggests in essence that the disproportionate number of Jewish scientists and Nobel Prize winners somehow refutes my life’s work in exposing the dangers of Jewish extremism. It is a frequently heard argument that deserves a response. So here is the Captain’s letter and my answer.

Mr. Duke or recipient,

I am 35 years old and a Marine captain having served in both Iraq and Afghanistan. I won two Bronze Stars. My family background is German and interestingly enough, my two grandfathers fought with distinction when serving in the Wermacht in WWII and both won the Iron Cross Second Class for heroism. So, consider my opinions below to be written by someone of you would consider to have pure “Aryan” blood.

I find your life’s work of tirelessly addressing many issues endemic to the Jewish question to be a pathological obsession and a life wasted.

For a group of people who barely make up a tenth of a percentage of the world population, Jews have invented more vaccines, excelled in physics, science, mathematics, classical music, technology; disproportionate to their numbers Jewish people have won more Nobel prizes and above all have given more back to society than most ethnic groups (more…)

A North American United Nations?

By Rep. Ron Paul
August 28, 2006

Globalists and one-world promoters never seem to tire of coming up with ways to undermine the sovereignty of the United States. The most recent attempt comes in the form of the misnamed “Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America (SPP).” In reality, this new “partnership” will likely make us far less secure and certainly less prosperous.

According to the US government website dedicated to the project, the SPP is neither a treaty nor a formal agreement. Rather, it is a “dialogue” launched by the heads of state of Canada, Mexico, and the United States at a summit in Waco, Texas in March, 2005.

What is a “dialogue”? We don’t know. What we do know, however, is that Congressional oversight of what might be one of the most significant developments in recent history is non-existent. Congress has had no role at all in a “dialogue” that many see as a plan for a North American union. (more…)

Some Jews Still Attacking Mel Gibson

By Jeff Davis
August 31, 2006

The Jews are poor losers, and even worse winners. They’ve got poor old drunken “Braveheart” down on the floor now, confined in the carrot-juice confines of the Betty Ford Clinic, but they’re kicking him brutally while he’s down. A recent news media article tells us that “Actor-producer Rob Reiner says Mel Gibson’s apology for making drunken anti-Semitic remarks isn’t enough to redeem him….Reiner, who is Jewish, says Gibson also must acknowledge that ‘his work reflects anti-Semitism,’ particularly the 2004 hit movie The Passion of the Christ…Some critics attacked Gibson’s film as portraying Jews as evil. Supporters said the movie was merely being faithful to Gospel accounts of Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion.”

Certain Jews have been screaming about The Passion since it was released. The movie gives a dramatic and above all Scripturally accurate portrayal of the last day of the life of Jesus Christ according to the Gospels, in the original Aramaic which was spoken by the Israelites of Biblical times, no less. (Not Hebrew, which the common people did not speak and which was reserved for the Cohens or sacrificial temple priests, the Jewish elite. ( In some circles, Gibson’s decision not to make the movie in Hebrew seems to have angered the Jews almost as much as its portrayal of Christ’s death on the cross.)

“To put it more bluntly: over 47 Lebanese civilians were slaughtered for each Jewish Israeli civilian death”

The Lobby and the Israeli Invasion of Lebanon: Their Facts and Ours

By James Petras
August 30, 2006

All the national, state and local Jewish organizations have launched a $300 million fundraising and propaganda campaign in support of the 21 Jewish civilians and 116 soldiers killed during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon (but not the 18 Israeli Arabs who were excluded from Jews-only bomb shelters). As adjuncts of the Israeli foreign office not a single one of the 52 organizations which make up The Presidents of the Major Jewish Organizations in the US voiced a single public criticism of Israel’s massive destruction of civilian homes, hospitals, offices, supermarkets, refugee convoys and churches and mosques, and the deliberate killing of civilians, UN peacekeepers and rescue workers with precision bombing. On the contrary the entire Jewish lobby echoed in precise detail the Israeli lies that the Lebanese deaths were caused by the Lebanese resistance’s “use of human shields,” despite the total devastation of the heavily populated southern suburbs of Beirut, completely out of range of any Hezbollah rockets.

The magnitude of the Jewish Lobby’s cover-up of Israel’s massive military assault can be measured in great detail.

The Israeli Armed Forces (IDF) launched 5,000 missiles, five-ton bunker-buster bombs and cluster bombs as well as anti-personnel phosphorus bombs each day into Lebanon for 27 days — totaling over 135,000 missiles, bombs and artillery shells. During the last seven days of the war Israel launched 6,000 bombs and shells per day — over 42,000, for a grand total of 177,000 over a heavily populated territory the size of the smallest state in the US. In contrast, the Lebanese national resistance launched 4,000 rockets during the entire 34-day period, an average of 118 per day. The ratio was 44 to 1 — without mentioning the size differentials, the long-term killing effects of the thousands of un-exploded cluster bombs (nearly 50 killed or maimed since the end of hostilities) and Israel’s scorched earth military incursion.

Two Scholars say pro-Israel Lobby has Warped U.S. Policy

By Frank James
August 28, 2006

WASHINGTON - Two scholars who created a controversy earlier this year when they wrote that the pro-Israel lobby exerted too much influence over U.S. foreign policy said Monday that the recent Israel-Hezbollah war in Lebanon was yet another example of what they view as a dangerous tendency.

John Mearsheimer, a University of Chicago political science professor, and Stephen Walt, a professor of international relations at Harvard University’s Kennedy School, said the U.S. government’s unstinting support for Israel’s recent war in Lebanon once again placed the agenda of what they call the Israel lobby ahead of U.S. strategic interests.

The result, they said, was that the U.S. position in the Middle East, already strained due to the Iraq War, had worsened with consequences that wouldn’t just be bad for America, but Israel as well.

“One, Iran and Syria are more likely to continue arming and supporting Hezbollah,” Mearsheimer said.

“Two, Iran and Syria have even more reason to keep the U.S. pinned down in Iraq so it’s not attacked by U.S. troops,” he said. “Three, Iran has more reason than ever to acquire nuclear weapons so it can deter an Israeli or U.S. attack on its homeland.” (….Full Article)

The Five Morons Revisited

By Paul Craig Roberts
August 30th, 2006

When the neocons launched the Bush administration’s invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and announced plans for invading Syria and Iran, I labeled Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Rice “the Five Morons.” With the passage of time, I see that I overestimated their mental capabilities.

The “cakewalk” war has now lasted longer than World War II with Nazi Germany, and no end is in sight. It has cost the U.S. taxpayers $310 billion in out-of-pocket costs, with many additional hundreds of billions coming due in veterans’ medical bills and other expenses yet to be paid.

To carry on this pointless war, which has achieved nothing but death, destruction, and hatred of America, Bush has had to call up inactive reserves who long ago completed their active-duty service to their country and have managed to get on with their lives. It is well known that the older one gets the harder it is to find employment or the energy to restart a mothballed business. But Bush is too busy saving us from terrorism to care about people’s lives.

Despite the lack of U.S. troops and Bush’s inability to prevail in Afghanistan and Iraq, neocons in Bush’s government are working around the clock to instigate war with Iran and Syria.

I thought that I had Rumsfeld pegged as the complete dolt, but I was stunned when I read Associated Press reporter Robert Burns’ account of what Rumsfeld told 200 Navy aviators in a question and answer session at Fallon Naval Air Station on Aug. 28. “The thing that keeps me up at night,” said Rumsfeld, is the success of terrorist groups in “manipulating the media.” (….Full Article)

‘You can read it, it’s in the text: “We will go after Lebanon. We will find a pretext which will justify us going after Lebanon big time. Next, Iran. Next, Syria.” And of course Iraq came in the preceding paragraphs. The plan is laid out there.’
An Interview With Ray McGovern

By Dahr Jamail
August 28, 2006

During the Veterans for Peace National Convention in Seattle, I conducted an interview with Ray McGovern. McGovern was a CIA analyst for 27 years and is co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS).

In this first installment of this short interview series for Truthout, I asked McGovern what he thought of the fact that Israel had been planning their attack on Lebanon for well over a year.

Ray McGovern: The most important thing, from our perspective, is to determine what role the US government played. It’s very clear that the US government not only gave the green light to the Israelis, but actively encouraged them to do what they are doing now, and then blocked diplomatic efforts to prevent them, to halt them, or to have an immediate cease-fire. That much is clear. You can even read Charles Krauthaumer, who says precisely that: that we are proud that we not only gave the permission, but we encouraged them to do precisely what they are doing.

Now, the question arises, why? What in God’s name would possess our so-called neo-con leadership to persuade this new fledgling Israeli government, which represents in my understanding a right-wing fringe of the Israeli people and not at all the Israeli people as a whole, just as our government represents the extremist right wing of the Republican Party? These so-called neo-conservatives who pretty much mounted and successfully waged a putsch of our government early in this administration, what in God’s name do they have in mind?

The tactics they used seem to be identical to the invasion of Iraq. We called it “shock and awe.” Well, a lot of the Lebanese, as well as the world populace, are shocked and awed quite enough, thank you very much, by what the Israelis are doing. It’s incredible that we would see that they would take out the infrastructure of a whole country as a way of “retaliating” against the capture of two Israeli prisoners of war, the capture of them, rather than the kidnapping of two Israelis.

Protest Targets Maywood’s Illegal Immigration Stance
Both sides shout it out in the tiny city that is known as a ’sanctuary’ for illegal immigrants.

By Ted Rohrlich
August 27th, 2006

For a couple of hours Saturday, a small group of demonstrators made Slauson Avenue in the tiny city of Maywood feel like the red-hot center of the national debate over immigrant rights.

A few dozen people from Save Our State and like-minded groups lined up behind police barricades, shouted into bullhorns and waved American flags to protest characterizations of the heavily Latino, square-mile city by some elected officials as a sanctuary for illegal immigrants.

Separated from the Save Our State contingent by other barricades and a line of riot-ready police a block away, about 200 counter-demonstrators shouted into their own bullhorns that it was time for amnesty and for the “racists” to go home.

Joseph Turner of San Bernardino, founder of Save Our State, said his group staged the protest in Maywood “to punish the city … for their transgressions” by disrupting traffic and commerce and making the city pay for extra police.

Protester Roger Young, an aerospace engineer from Lake Forest, said he had been involved in two traffic accidents with illegal immigrants who had no driver’s licenses or insurance and tried to walk away, even though they were at fault. He said he was upset about people breaking laws, adding that it is difficult to get his point of view heard. “To voice a different opinion in this city,” he said, “it takes 100 policemen for an escort.” (….Full Article)

British Jews to celebrate 350 years in England

By Vanessa Bulkacz
August 27th, 2006

Concerns about safety in the wake of the Israel-Hezbollah war, as well as the recently foiled terror plot in London, are creating a cloud over upcoming celebrations of the 350th anniversary of Jews in Britain.

On Sept. 17, the yearlong celebration of Oliver Cromwell’s decision to readmit Jews to England 350 years ago is scheduled to culminate in a daylong festival in Trafalgar Square, one of London’s most public spots. The festival is being presented by Jewish Culture UK.

The Simcha on the Square festival will feature comedians, cantors, klezmer bands and Sephardi choirs, as well as art exhibitions and traditional Jewish food. Mayor Ken Livingstone will not be included on the program, as he continues to battle legal and personal charges of inappropriate and anti-Semitic remarks. Instead, his deputy will represent the Mayor’s Office of the Greater London Authority, which has contributed nearly $115,000 to the event. (….Full Article)

The Edict of Expulsion of 1290

Mexican Crime Families Run Most of State’s Pot Farms

By Mike Geniella
August 28th, 2006

Illegal marijuana production is surging on the North Coast and across the state as a result of rising dominance of Mexican crime families over the state’s underground pot economy.

Scores of Mexican nationals are being sneaked across the border to grow, guard and harvest marijuana gardens inside California because tightened border security has crimped smuggling of Mexican-grown pot into the state, according to local, state and federal drug agents.

Mexican-controlled operations now account for as much as 70 percent of all the marijuana cultivated in the state’s rural regions, including the North Coast, the agents said.

Although multiagency teams are only in the early weeks of their annual marijuana crackdown statewide, the estimated street value of nearly 1 million pot plants uprooted this summer already equals last year’s record $4.5billion. The number of seized plants in Mendocino, Lake and Sonoma counties and the Mendocino National Forest account for about 62 percent of the statewide total.

“There’s more marijuana than ever growing out there,” said Sgt. Rusty Noe, veteran director of Mendocino County’s local anti-marijuana growing efforts. (….Full Article)

Word Games: Immigrant vs. Alien, Illegal vs. Undocumented

By Citizen Conservative
August 27, 2006

Those arguing on behalf of illegal aliens, and their “rights,” often play word games in appealing to the pride of real Americans.

“Immigrants Built America” and “We are all Immigrants” are popular slogans at pro-illegal alien protests and in jargon used by those who favor open borders, regardless of the impact on America’s homeland security, economy or culture. What the anti-rule of law crowd omits is the crucial word legal, as in legal immigrants. While it’s true we are all descendants of immigrants, it is not true that our forefathers came to America illegally. America was not built by illegal aliens!

Migrating to America legally is, and should be, a long, drawn out procedure meant to protect the interests of American citizens. It involves more than simply jumping a fence and heading north in pursuit of free health care, education, food stamps and other handouts paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

Legal migration means enduring rigorous obstacles like background checks to detect a criminal background or possible ties to terrorists; medical examinations to detect diseases still prevalent in third-world nations, but long since eradicated here; proof of financial solvency so as to prevent newcomers from becoming a burden on U.S. taxpayers; testing for knowledge of American history and English skills, and similar “hoops.” (more…)

Wake up, America! Israel is no friend of yours

The Daily Star
August 25, 2006

The so-called “special relationship” between the the US and Israeli governments is well known. It goes without saying that the vast majority of Americans wholeheartedly support their nation’s love-fest with Israel. Most Americans feel an affinity with Israelis to the detriment of Arabs. How mistaken they are! The fact is that while Americans benefit hugely from the Arab world, little do they know they are on the losing end when it comes to Israel.

The US-Israel bond has become so incestuous that few Americans even question its value. Even fewer ask themselves what the US gets out of its financial, military and moral support of a foreign entity that their government believes can do no wrong. At the same time, they remain suspicious of the Muslim world.

The misguided post-September 11 policies promoted by the Bush administration have reinforced the anti-Arab, anti-Muslim stance of most Americans. A recent Gallop poll suggests four out of 10 Americans feel “prejudice” toward Muslims.

These attitudes are nothing short of a slap in the face to Arab nations that have invested trillions of dollars in the US economy and consider themselves Washington’s strategic partners.

What the Arab world gives America

In reality the Arab world is far more beneficial to the US than Israel. Here’s why: (more…)

Humbling of the Supertroops Shatters Israeli Army Morale

The Sunday Times
August 27th, 2006

HUNDREDS of feet below ground in the command bunker of the Israeli air force in Tel Aviv, a crowd of officers gathered to monitor the first day of the war against Hezbollah. It was July 12 and air force jets were about to attack Hezbollah’s military nerve centre in southern Beirut.

Among the officers smoking tensely as they waited for news, was Lieutenant-General Dan Halutz, 58, a daring fighter pilot in the 1973 Arab-Israeli war who had become chief of staff a year earlier and now faced the biggest test of his career.

Over the Mediterranean, west of Beirut, the elite F-15I squadron made its final preparations to strike with precision guided weapons against Hezbollah’s Iranian-made long-range Zelzal rockets, aimed at Tel Aviv.

Just before midnight, the order “Fire!” — given by the squadron leader — could be heard in the Tel Aviv bunker. Within moments the first Hezbollah missile and launcher were blown up. Thirty-nine tense minutes later the squadron leader’s voice was heard again: “Fifty-four launchers have been destroyed. Returning to base.”

Halutz smiled with relief and called Ehud Olmert, the prime minister, who was enjoying a cigar as he waited by a secure red phone at his residence in Jerusalem.

“All the long-range rockets have been destroyed,” Halutz announced proudly. After a short pause, he added four words that have since haunted him: “We’ve won the war.” (….Full Article)

The Jewish Role in the Slave Trade

By Jeff Davis
August 27th, 2006

The “official” history of slavery seems to deviate little from “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” or the latest propaganda film from Steven Spielberg. People are left to assume that White Christians were involved in the most evil part of slavery, the shipping of slaves. The truth is that Christian nations were repelled at the cruelty associated with the importation of slaves and that was the first part of slavery outlawed by Christian nations. The one people who controlled and profited the most from shipping Blacks as if they were cattle, packing as many as possible onto slave ships were the Jews.

Now, of all people, a Jewish feminist historian named Natalie Zemon Davis has written a book on a subject which has up until now been strictly off limits to historians and scholars–Jews and their role in the slave trade and in slave ownership. Davis uses as her starting point the life and times of one Jewish physician who also made big bucks (or in his case, big guilders) in the slave trade during the 18th century, David Isaac Cohen Nassy, a resident and merchant prince of the Dutch colony in Surinam in South America, where tens of thousands of black African slaves lived and toiled in the sugar cane fields and the steaming, fever and snake-infested jungles under conditions that made a plantation in Virginia or domestic service in Massachusetts look like paradise.

Who’s to Blame?
Israel on the Slide

By Alexander Cockburn
August 27th, 2006

In the aftermath of the Lebanon disaster you can open up the Israeli press, particularly the Hebrew language editions, and find fierce assaults on the country’s elites from left, right and center.

The overall panorama is one of chickens of all ages coming home to roost. Small pustules highlight larger rot. Chief of staff Dan Halutz, a narcissistic bully like a mini-Patton, though without the latter’s tactical talents, took time off the morning he ordered the terror bombing of south Beirut to tell the Bank Leumi to sell his stock portfolio before the market plunged–which it soon did by nearly 10 per cent.

The capacity of the US armed forces to fight intelligently and effectively has been eroded–not necessarily a bad thing of course — by a system of graft-ridden procurement that favors expensive weapons systems validated by bogus tests. Israel’s supposed military requirements have been a particularly ripe sector of that racket and the consequences are plain to see. Israel’s receipt of batteries of Patriot missiles were no doubt hugely profitable for the parties involved in the transaction, but in defensive function entirely useless. The Patriot missile batteries stationed near Haifa and Safed, much trumpeted by the IDF played no significant role in the recent conflict. (….Full Article)
