Group Evil

From How to Detect Evil by Katherine Yurica:

Peck draws a profile of the evil: they have no regard for the truth; they lie and live in a world of lies. They are masters of disguise and cloak themselves with masks of respectability, goodness and often piety. (Peck tells us that religiosity is a common and effective disguise.) But it is the appearance of propriety and respectability that is the important factor. Peck defines evil as: “The exercise of political power—that is, the imposition of one’s will upon others by overt or covert coercion…” Or in other words: it is the use “of political power to destroy others,” for the purpose of defending or preserving the integrity of one’s sick self (or group).

...Peck wrote, “It is almost common knowledge that the best way to cement group cohesiveness is to ferment the group’s hatred of an external enemy. Deficiencies within the group can be easily and painlessly overlooked by focusing attention on the deficiencies or ‘sins’ of the out-group. Thus the Germans under Hitler could ignore their domestic problems by scapegoating the Jews.”

To wit: Israeli soldiers reveal the brutal truth of Gaza attack

Another soldier said his battalion commander had said the operation was not "a limited confrontation such as in Hebron, and not to hesitate if we suspected someone nor feel bad about destruction because it is all done for the safety of our own soldiers... if we see something suspect and shoot, better hit an innocent than hesitate to target an enemy". One soldier said the "awareness of each soldier going in is simply... a light finger on the trigger. You see something and you're not quite sure? You shoot".

...Military rabbis prepared troops for battle. One soldier said an army rabbi had "aimed at inspiring the men with courage, cruelty aggressiveness, expressions as 'no pity. God protects you. Everything you do is sanctified'... there were specific scenarios discussed... but from the context it was pretty obvious he came to tell us how aggressive and determined we need to be, that we must win because this is a holy war". Leaflets distributed at military synagogues had stated that "the Palestinians are like the Philistines of old, newcomers who do not belong in the land, aliens planted on the soil which should clearly return to us".

..."We talked about practical matters... but the basic approach to war was very brutal, that was my impression... He said something along the lines of 'don't let morality become an issue. That will come up later'. He had this strange language: 'Leave the nightmares and horrors that will come up for later, now just shoot'... The basic approach was that there were no chances taken. If you face an area that is hidden by a building, you take down the building. Questions such as 'who lives in the building?' are not asked."

..."The rabbi said we are actually conducting the war of 'the sons of light' against 'the sons of darkness'. This is in fact a statement with highly messianic language... It turns the other side as a generality into 'sons of darkness' while we become 'sons of light'. There is no differentiation which we would expect to find between civilians and others. Here is one people fighting another people, with all the messianic implications. But that's the point: this is also religious propaganda. In other words, the army is not a revival meeting. They do not put on a uniform in order to be Judaized."

..."Anything we did there, we'd answer ourselves: there's no other choice, but this is how we shirk our responsibility. You bring yourself to this kind of deterministic situation, a moment that I have not chosen, where I no longer have any responsibility for my own actions. Even if your choice is the right one, you must admit you chose it. You have to admit you chose to go into Gaza. As soon as you did, you've brought people into a moral twilight zone, you've forced them to handle dilemmas and part of that confrontation failed. As soon as you say 'there is no other choice', you're shirking your responsibility. Then you don't need to investigate, to look into things."

Occupation: Epic Fail

Speaking of fun, the occupation will never destroy the Palestinians. It creates Palestinians. How do they relieve the tremendous stress they live under? They have sex and make babies. Good for them. Why shouldn't they? Any normal healthy person with a creative impulse will do the same thing. That's how God made us.

Stupid Israelis.

Advertising: IDF = beautiful; Palestinians = invisible; Apartheid Wall = normal. Any questions?

And fun. The Apartheid Wall is fun, we can't forget fun. Fun is so important. As we all know. Being trapped behind a wall is even fun for the Palestinians apparently, on the rare occasions that they can play soccer with beautiful IDF soldiers. So lucky.



Via Pimpin Turtle:

A Facebook group is trying to get Israel's leading cell phone operator, Cellcom, to pull a new TV commercial showing Israeli soldiers near the West Bank separation fence, arguing that the advert is "racist."

The commercial, produced by the Israeli branch of international advertising powerhouse McCann Erickson, shows IDF soldiers on patrol along the separation fence who stop their jeep when it is hit by a soccer ball from the Palestinian side of the fence.

The ball soon bounces back to the Israeli side, at which point the soldiers decide to hold an impromptu game with the Palestinians, cheered on by female soldiers.

The voiceover accompanying the advert says: "After all, what are we all after? Just a little fun."

The Facebook group, called "I too got nauseous watching the new Cellcom ad," severely criticized McCann Eriksson's use of the separation fence in its advert.

"We could go into the media messages spouting racism any which way, but if you have come here than you too think they're uncalled for," reads the introduction to the Facebook group. "The McCann Erickson copywriter displayed an unbelievable propensity for bad taste."

The group also centered on what they feel is offensive in the new commercial, pointing out the fact that the supposedly "good" soldiers fear the possibility that the "monster living on the other side of the wall could steal the ball - but when the ball returns to Israeli hands, we discover that that monster isn't fierce at all, and actually feels like playing with the soldiers - oh joy!"

"Good enough reason to set up a beach party under the wall, complete with sexy female soldiers and musical instruments."

The group ends by demanding the immediate removal of the commercial.

"What our group can agree on is the shame we feel seeing a major Israeli commercial company approving such a beastly advert to be aired in its name, and which brings us to demand - take this racist commercial off the air immediately!"

Novel, as in pulled out of someone's head or ass or laboratory

Cliff Notes for: Congress approves $7.6 billion for pandemic flu response, by Robert Roos, News Editor at CIDRAP News.

Chapter 1: Where Obama asks Congress to pony up three times what they originally considered to battle the pandemic. It's a war. Things move along quickly because they get tucked into sunk costs funding the other wars we're already fighting that were also based on lies.

Responding to lobbying by the Obama administration and public health advocates, Congress last week approved $7.65 billion for battling pandemic influenza, more than three times what the House and Senate had earlier proposed.

The money was included in a $106 billion supplemental appropriation bill dedicated mostly to funding the military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Senate passed the bill Jun 18, following House passage 2 days earlier.

Chapter 2: Where the vast sums of money are directed to the corrupt institutions responsible for overseeing the creation of the virus "in the name of preparedness."

Most of the pandemic money is for activities by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), but the bill includes $350 million to boost state and local capacity for responding to the novel H1N1 flu pandemic.

According to a House Appropriations Committee summary of the legislation, it provides $1.5 billion in fiscal year 2009 money and $5.8 billion in "contingent emergency appropriations" for HHS and the CDC.

Chapter 3: Where the money will be spent for further eroding our privacy and lining the pockets of big pharma and the "health" "care" system(s).

The funds are to be used for expanding surveillance, increasing federal stockpiles of drugs and medical supplies, and developing, buying, and administering vaccines.

The $350 million in state and local money, according to the House summary, is intended to help public health departments hire and train staff members, buy equipment to improve diagnostic capabilities, distribute antivirals and personal protective equipment from federal and state stockpiles, improve communication and maintain disease-reporting hotlines, and address other challenges, such as hospital surge capacity.

The bill also includes $50 million for distribution by the US Agency for International Development to help countries respond to pandemic flu.

Chapter 4: Where an elaborate kabuki display of cooperation, compromise, lobbying, discussion, urging, blah blah blah is put forth to convince the public that their representatives care about them when, in fact, they are stealing our money and giving it to big pharma and the "health" "care" industries to compensate them for wrecking the public health by forcing poison vaccines into our bodies to "fight" diseases they made up in laboratories.

The House and Senate had previously passed different versions of the funding bill that provided, respectively, about $2 billion and $1.5 billion for the pandemic. But a House-Senate conference committee increased the amounts in working out the compromise bill that was approved last week.

The Obama administration had asked Congress to approve the House version but add another $2 billion to it, as reported here previously. In addition, the administration asked Congress to tap some funds from the federal economic stimulus package and up to $2.9 billion from the BioShield program.

Meanwhile, a coalition of public health groups led by Trust for America's Health (TFAH), a nonpartisan public health advocacy organization based in Washington, DC, also urged Congress to adopt the House version and add more funds to it. The coalition was particularly concerned about the cost of buying and administering pandemic vaccines.

In substantially increasing the funding, Congress decided not to take funds from the stimulus and BioShield programs, according to Richard Hamburg, government relations director for TFAH. Some public health advocates had criticized the proposal to take money from BioShield, a program that promotes development of medical countermeasures against biological and other unconventional weapons.

Chapter 5: Where the money being given to big pharma to purchase poison vaccines is presented as Good News, because there could be a "more extreme outbreak in the coming months."

"This contingency fund of $5.8 billion would be new money," Hamburg said. "I think it was good news that they appropriated additional dollars to be used mainly for vaccine purchase and perhaps vaccine administration, and that it was new money and not coming from existing sources."

"In the long run they'll need even more dollars, but this is a recognition that should there be a more extreme outbreak in the coming months, we'll be better prepared than we would've been without additional dollars," he said.

Moral of the story: There will be a "more extreme outbreak" of flu pandemic in the coming months, and it's going to make some people filthy rich and other people quite dead.

Joe Lieberman: Litmus Test

Joe Lieberman is a freak, perhaps the most despicable creature I have ever seen, and that's saying something. His voice sounds like ice picks in my ears. Anything that makes Joe Lieberman happy must be bad. Really really bad. The election turmoil in Iran makes Joe very happy. He is thrilled. That's enough to know that it must be bad, even if you didn't take one minute to do a little reading about it.

The CIA has been spending money fomenting revolution.

Former Pakistani Army General Mirza Aslam Beig claims the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has distributed 400 million dollars inside Iran to evoke a revolution. In a phone interview with the Pashto Radio on Monday, General Beig said that there is undisputed intelligence proving the US interference in Iran. “The documents prove that the CIA spent 400 million dollars inside Iran to prop up a colorful-hollow revolution following the election,” he added.

Pakistan’s former army chief of joint staff went on to say that the US wanted to disturb the situation in Iran and bring to power a pro-US government. He congratulated President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on his re- election for the second term in office, noting that Pakistan relationship with Iran has improved during his 4-year presidency. “Ahmadinejad’s re-election is a decisive point in regional policy and if Pakistan and Afghanistan unite with Iran, the US has to leave the area, especially the occupied Afghanistan,” Beig added.

The group used is called the MKO (Mujahedin Khalq Organization), and they have been taking orders from a command post in Britian.

The terrorist Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) has reportedly played a major role in intensifying the recent wave of street violence in Iran. Iranian security officials reported Saturday that they have identified and arrested a large number of MKO members who were involved in recent riots in Iran's capital. According to the security officials, the arrested members had confessed that they were extensively trained in Iraq's camp Ashraf to create post-election mayhem in the country. They had also revealed that they have been given directions by the MKO command post in Britain.

Check out the interesting Jewish philosophical roots, including the cult of personality format.

...The Mujahedin Khalq Organization is a Marxist guerilla group, which was founded in the 1960s. In the past two decades, MKO leaders have been resettled in the northern outskirts of Paris. The terrorists are especially notorious for taking sides with former dictator Saddam Hussein during the war Iraq imposed on Iran (1980-1988). The group masterminded a slew of terrorist operations in Iran and Iraq -- one of which was the 1981 bombing of the offices of the Islamic Republic Party, in which more than 72 Iranian officials were killed. A 2007 German intelligence report from the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has identified the MKO as a "repressive, sect-like and Stalinist authoritarian organization which centers around the personality cult of [MKO leaders] Maryam and Masoud Rajavi". Anne Singleton, an expert on the MKO and author of 'Saddam's Private Army' explains that the West aims to keep the group afloat in order to use it in efforts to stage a regime change in Iran. "With a new Administration in the White House a pre-emptive strike on Iran looks unlikely. Instead the MKO's backers have put together a coalition of small irritant groups, the known minority and separatist groups, along with the MKO. These groups will be garrisoned around the border with Iran and their task is to launch terrorist attacks into Iran over the next few years to keep the fire hot," she explains.

Christopher Story listed the MKO (also known as the MEK) in an extensive directory of World Revolutionary Operations funded by black ops drug trafficking, published in October 2008.

While we await the imminent stand-off between the United States Revolutionary Criminal Klepto- Government and the US military, [still waiting - ed.] who realise that the United States is in the position of Germany in 1933 and who are telling US that they will act with the honour and integrity that the German military lacked then, we can contemplate the following list of Revolutionary, Terrorist, Drug-Trafficking and Para-State Entities which form components of the WORLD REVOLUTION through which we are all (still) living. By drawing attention to such external entities, the American authorities (and those of other criminalist Governments) typically aim to divert attention from their OWN odious terrorist and drug-trafficking operations, which are beyond despicable and MUST be exposed as we continue to rack up progress with unmasking the Octopus-like, self-destructing World Revolution generally.

Sure enough, these destabilizing black ops in Iran were reported as far back as February 2007, and Iran complained about them long before that. Notice the Israeli agenda that Iran must give up it's nuclear program.

America is secretly funding militant ethnic separatist groups in Iran in an attempt to pile pressure on the Islamic regime to give up its nuclear programme. In a move that reflects Washington's growing concern with the failure of diplomatic initiatives, CIA officials are understood to be helping opposition militias among the numerous ethnic minority groups clustered in Iran's border regions. The operations are controversial [wink wink wink!! not really, not so much - ed.] because they involve dealing with movements that resort to terrorist methods in pursuit of their grievances against the Iranian regime.

...Funding for their separatist causes comes directly from the CIA's classified budget but is now "no great secret", according to one former high-ranking CIA official in Washington who spoke anonymously to The Sunday Telegraph. His claims were backed by Fred Burton, a former US state department counter-terrorism agent, who said: "The latest attacks inside Iran fall in line with US efforts to supply and train Iran's ethnic minorities to destabilise the Iranian regime." Although Washington officially denies involvement in such activity, Teheran has long claimed to detect the hand of both America and Britain in attacks by guerrilla groups on its internal security forces. Last Monday, Iran publicly hanged a man, Nasrollah Shanbe Zehi, for his involvement in a bomb attack that killed 11 Revolutionary Guards in the city of Zahedan in Sistan-Baluchistan. An unnamed local official told the semi-official Fars news agency that weapons used in the attack were British and US-made.

This article goes on to mention the MEK/MKO and a faction split in the US government. Notice which faction has won, a year and a half later.

A row has also broken out in Washington over whether to "unleash" the military wing of the Mujahedeen-e Khalq (MEK), an Iraq-based Iranian opposition group with a long and bloody history of armed opposition to the Iranian regime. The group is currently listed by the US state department as terrorist organisation, but Mr Pike said: "A faction in the Defence Department wants to unleash them. They could never overthrow the current Iranian regime but they might cause a lot of damage." At present, none of the opposition groups are much more than irritants to Teheran, but US analysts believe that they could become emboldened if the regime was attacked by America or Israel. Such a prospect began to look more likely last week, as the UN Security Council deadline passed for Iran to stop its uranium enrichment programme, and a second American aircraft carrier joined the build up of US naval power off Iran's southern coastal waters.

The role of the media has not gone unnoticed either.

Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hassan Qashqavi pins the blame for the recent post-election turmoil across the country on US and British media outlets. "Voice of America (VOA) and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) are state-funded channels and not privately-run. Their budgets are ratified in the US Congress, as well as the British Parliament. The two channels serve as mouthpieces of their respective governments," Qashqavi stated on Saturday. He noted that the two news outlets seek to stir up ethnic discord across Iran in the hope of fomenting the country's disintegration. "Any sort of contact with the said channels either through e-mail or telephone runs against national Iranian sovereignty and is considered as an act of enmity towards the Iranian nation. The channels act as command posts engineering the ongoing post-election riots," Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman noted.

But most importantly, all this makes Joe Lieberman so very happy.

"I have been both surprised and encouraged by the scope of the protests. It's really been thrilling to me, and, I would say, thrilling to people throughout America and throughout the world because we understand how much courage it takes to stand in the face of a very repressive regime, which has strength on its side."

I rest my case.

Coming Soon

Reviewing the news today, the economic collapse must be close. Very close. Which means that some other shit must go down to provide suitable distraction, blame and confusion while the elite scurry away with all our money.

What's it going to be? Nuclear war? False flag terror? "Natural" HAARP-induced disaster? Biowarfare? The vaccines loaded up with poison are almost ready.

Our wealth has been transferred into other hands. Where is the money? It's a Mystery kids. But not really. The people who run the financial world have the money. They have put it somewhere "safe" because they will need it soon when they unveil the New World Order.

Hesham Tillawi explains:

As strange as it may sound the fact is that the speech Netanyahu recently gave is in fact actually 13 years old. The problem was that at the time it was initially written (1996) the players involved (including Netanyahu and a few other infamously well-known individuals such as Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, et al) could not implement its proposals because “events on the ground” had not materialized as they had originally hoped or planned, namely that the Jewish state break away from the mother ship, the United States of America.

...Netanyahu, back in 1996 on his first visit to the United States was supposed to announce that “Israel is now mature enough to cut itself free immediately from U.S. economic aid and loan guarantees” but not Military aid for the moment to make sure Israel dose not encounter a supply problem. They counted on Speaker of the House at that time Newt Gingrich to spearhead their efforts in moving electrifying support for the venture. In other words, they did not want Israel to be seen as subservient to the U.S. because of the “few” dollars Uncle Sam spares the Israelis, they wanted Israel to be on the same footing as the United States and as an equal partner in the building of the “New Middle East’ in which Israel is its own superpower. This is Israel’s neighborhood, and if anyone wanting anything to change better ask the Godfather -Israel- and receive his blessings. Otherwise, hit-men flying F-18’s will send you “sleeping with the fishes”, a line borrowed from the movie the Godfather.

Israel, the parasite, will drop off of the host when there's no more blood to suck. Soon.

Chris Hedges:

Barack Obama, and the criminal class on Wall Street, aided by a corporate media that continues to peddle fatuous gossip and trash talk as news while we endure the greatest economic crisis in our history, may have fooled us, but the rest of the world knows we are bankrupt. And these nations are damned if they are going to continue to prop up an inflated dollar and sustain the massive federal budget deficits, swollen to over $2 trillion, which fund America’s imperial expansion in Eurasia and our system of casino capitalism. They have us by the throat. They are about to squeeze.

There are meetings being held Monday and Tuesday in Yekaterinburg, Russia, (formerly Sverdlovsk) among Chinese President Hu Jintao, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and other top officials of the six-nation Shanghai Cooperation Organization. The United States, which asked to attend, was denied admittance. Watch what happens there carefully. The gathering is, in the words of economist Michael Hudson, “the most important meeting of the 21st century so far.”

It is the first formal step by our major trading partners to replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency. If they succeed, the dollar will dramatically plummet in value, the cost of imports, including oil, will skyrocket, interest rates will climb and jobs will hemorrhage at a rate that will make the last few months look like boom times. State and federal services will be reduced or shut down for lack of funds. The United States will begin to resemble the Weimar Republic or Zimbabwe. Obama, endowed by many with the qualities of a savior, will suddenly look pitiful, inept and weak. And the rage that has kindled a handful of shootings and hate crimes in the past few weeks will engulf vast segments of a disenfranchised and bewildered working and middle class. The people of this class will demand vengeance, radical change, order and moral renewal, which an array of proto-fascists, from the Christian right to the goons who disseminate hate talk on Fox News, will assure the country they will impose.

In December I wrote a post titled "Our work destroying your country is almost complete." Six months have now gone by.

So don't get all excited about actual peace, which would be great, because this is more like (air quotes) peace (end air quotes), in which the "new plan" avoids precisely the two most important issues to the Palestinians. But still, it's a Big Secret because....

Well, why is it a Big Secret?

Because. It highlights the enormous geostrategic changes going on, in which the United States has nearly collapsed thanks to eight years of Israeli neocon dominated policymaking, both foreign and domestic. Eight years during which the American people have watched our country be destroyed from within. Eight years of kissing Israel's ass and overlooking Israel's crimes and fighting Israel's wars under the aegis of neocon intellectual lights of darkness such as Doug Feith, Paul Wolfowitz, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle, Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, Henry Paulson, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice and all their corrupt flunkies throughout the US government and Washington think tanks and corporate media propaganda outlets who set these disasters in motion and gave them fresh momentum whenever they flagged. Now their work is almost complete. The US will keel over soon -- MURDERED by these criminals and their Luciferian banking handlers.

And that is the only reason why Israel must now reorient toward Russia and the local gang of moderate Arab countries. (Those would be the ones we've paid off to put up with Israel.)

The last detail: how to get away with it? Perhaps the old stand-by? Some horrific domestic false flag terror attack, fast-crashing the economy and triggering martial law, to be blamed on Muslims naturally? Coming from Canada, perhaps? Or to be politically safer, some "natural disaster" triggered with the latest weather modification technologies? The end result is still the same. Israel can cut loose while watching our agony with "regret."

But, you know, it's rude to notice this kind of thing.

Back of the napkin analysis: It's a Win-Win-Win for Israel

Win #1: With Ahmadinejad reelected, the hasbara tactic of twisting his words may continue unabated
The reason Israel loves Ahmadinejad is because he says things that are easy to twist. It's not that he says crazy things really, because if you look at actual, full, accurately translated transcripts of what he says, he's not crazy at all. But he does say truthful things, and as we all know by now, the truth is radical as well as "anti-semitic." That's all it is. Since the media is controlled by Zionists, and since Ahmadinejad speaks out about Zionists, he can easily be painted as radical and "anti-semitic." That's why Israel is happy about his reelection, because they can continue to twist his words to support their agenda. However, the fact that he benefits in the short run from the Israeli agenda does not necessarily mean that he supports their agenda or is a part of it. Maybe he does or maybe he doesn't. I tend to think he doesn't, but let's face it, anyone in power will be sucked into the game to some extent or else they get whacked.

Win #2: Mousavi appears to be connected to the Mossad and CIA, so now they have a player moving on the board and influencing events
This piece (h/t saladin) begins to lay out how Mousavi's connections go back as far as Iran Contra.

What do Michael Ledeen (the American 'neo-conservative'), Mir-Hossein Mousavi (the Iranian presidential candidate of 'chagne') and Adnan Khashoggi (the opulent Saudi Arabian jet-setter) have in common?

They are all good friends and associates of Manuchehr Ghorbanifar (an Iranian arms merchant, an alleged MOSSAD double agent, and a key figure in the Iran/Contra Affair, the arms-for-hostages deals between Iran and the Reagan administration). In one or two, at most three, degrees of separation, these people hung out in the same circles and very likely drank to the same toasts.

So Mousavi probably is their actual guy, not Ahmadinejad. If things worked out that Mousavi got in that would probably be great for Israel, but you know these people trying to run the world will hedge all their bets because they can only control so much. Therefore, not expecting to pull it off but hoping for chaos and instability, maybe some riots...

Win #3: Chaos, instability and riots in Iran will destabilize the country and facilitate an attack by Israel or it's agents. The confusion surrounding what happened also allows for a flood of psyops, limited hangouts, and every variety of disinformation imaginable.
I think it's safe to say we're all experiencing the flood of confusion right now. It's confusing because they want it to be confusing. Confusion and instability advances Israel's war agenda. Therefore, the media throws gasoline on the fire. Again, as with Ahmadinejad, the fact that people may be legitimately pissed off about the election does not mean they aren't being manipulated.

The elite always fuck with people from every direction. They excel at creating damned if you do/damned if you don't situations, hoping to drive people either into hopelessness and apathy or else violence.

In the words of one of the mind-fuck master actors, Nicholas Sarkozy:

"It is a tragedy, but it is not negative to have a real-opinion movement that tries to break its chains."
