That's the ticket

For a long long time TPTB have been controlling and shaping public opinion. I'm sure this has been quite fun and profitable for them -- a tiny group of people controlling a huge group of people.

But the spell has broken. Not for all of course, but for enough. Enough people have started to question the officially sanctioned narrative and this wavelength moves through the deep sea of people and TPTB don't know where it is exactly but they're worried that a rogue wave is about to swamp their luxury liner command center.

That damn internet. If it wasn't for that damn internet they could pull everything off without a hitch. They've tried controlling the internet and filling it with plants but the truth keeps popping up anyway. Maybe if there was an emergency, something kind of terrifying, and if we had a bill authorizing the president to take control of the nation's critical infrastructure....

Yeah yeah, that's the ticket....

When Rockefeller, the chairman of the Senate Commerce committee, and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) introduced the original bill in April, they claimed it was vital to protect national cybersecurity. "We must protect our critical infrastructure at all costs--from our water to our electricity, to banking, traffic lights and electronic health records," Rockefeller said.

...Rockefeller's revised legislation seeks to reshuffle the way the federal government addresses the topic. It requires a "cybersecurity workforce plan" from every federal agency, a "dashboard" pilot project, measurements of hiring effectiveness, and the implementation of a "comprehensive national cybersecurity strategy" in six months--even though its mandatory legal review will take a year to complete.

But they don't have time for that. They have serious PR emergencies RIGHT NOW. Not to worry. These things can always be arranged. That's what the Unitary Executive is for -- to Protect National Security!

Probably the most controversial language begins in Section 201, which permits the president to "direct the national response to the cyber threat" if necessary for "the national defense and security."

...Translation: If your company is deemed "critical," a new set of regulations kick in involving who you can hire, what information you must disclose, and when the government would exercise control over your computers or network.

See? All they have to do is deem some internet companies "critical" to National Security in an emergency situation, like say a terrorist attack, and they fall magically under the umbrella of government control. Voila. I'm sure companies like AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, and all the big boys will be deemed critical. And any little independent companies not deemed critical will probably come under suspicion for aiding and abetting terrorists or something like that. Should be fun. Nobody will know what's going on and they'll have to watch tv to get any information.

It's all to Keep You Safe, and Don't You Forget It (wink wink wink)! In fact, here's a dramatic statement, dripping with every power word they can possibly cram into it, provided by Jena Longo, deputy communications director for the Senate Commerce committee:
The president of the United States has always had the constitutional authority, and duty, to protect the American people and direct the national response to any emergency that threatens the security and safety of the United States. The Rockefeller-Snowe Cybersecurity bill makes it clear that the president's authority includes securing our national cyber infrastructure from attack. The section of the bill that addresses this issue, applies specifically to the national response to a severe attack or natural disaster. This particular legislative language is based on longstanding statutory authorities for wartime use of communications networks.
OK that seems pretty clear that the president can secure (control) the national infrastructure from attack as part of the national response to a severe attack or natural disaster based on statutory authorities for wartime use of communication networks. Right?

WRONG! THAT'S NOT WHAT IT SAYS CAN'T YOU READ?????
To be very clear, the Rockefeller-Snowe bill will not empower a "government shutdown or takeover of the Internet" and any suggestion otherwise is misleading and false.
Oh wow, that's so confusing. The statement says one thing, and then it says the complete opposite! Yes you will allow the president to secure the private infrastructure based on the Rockefeller-Snowe bill based on longstanding statutory authorities for wartime use of communications networks, but no you will not suggest that the Rockefeller-Snowe bill empowered the president to shutdown or take over the internet. That would make you a LIAR.

So here's the instruction: "Securing the private infrastructure based on longstanding statutory authorities for wartime use of communications networks" IS NOT "shutting down or taking over the internet."

YES IT IS.
NO IT'S NOT.
YES IT IS.

Mind-fucking.
The purpose of this language is to clarify how the president directs the public-private response to a crisis, secure our economy and safeguard our financial networks, protect the American people, their privacy and civil liberties, and coordinate the government's response.
No. The purpose of this language is mind-fucking people into supporting the government takeover of the internet after a false-flag terrorist attack. You will support President Obama. You will listen to whatever he says. Turn on the teevee.

Psychopaths always get glass feelings when they're bagged

What is that high-pitched whining sound? It's the sound of psychopaths getting caught and ground to bits and pieces in the intricate gears of their own lie machines.

Alison Weir of If Americans Knew: (Via Atheo News, links removed, please click through for the many links and notes.)
Israel’s very first, historic heart transplant used a heart removed from a living patient without consent or consulting his family. In December 1968 a man named Avraham Sadegat (the New York Times seems to give his name as A Savgat) died two days after a stroke, even though his family had been told he was “doing well.” After initially refusing to release his body, the Israeli hospital where he was being treated finally turned the man’s body over to his family. They discovered that his upper body was wrapped in bandages; an odd situation, they felt, for someone who had suffered a stroke. When they removed the bandages, they discovered that the chest cavity was stuffed with bandages, and the heart was missing. During this time, the headline-making Israeli heart transplant had occurred. After their initial shock, the man’s wife and brother began to put the two events together and demanded answers. The hospital at first denied that Sadegat’s heart had been used in the headline-making transplant, but the family raised a media storm and eventually applied to three cabinet ministers. Finally, weeks later and after the family had signed a document promising not to sue, the hospital admitted that Sadagat’s heart had been used. The hospital explained that it had abided by Israeli law, which allowed organs to be harvested without the family's consent. (The United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime includes the extraction of organs in its definition of human exploitation.) Indications that the removal of Sadagat’s heart was the actual cause of death went unaddressed.
Kawther Salam: Night of Israeli Horror in Jerusalem Hospital
Jerusalem: On Saturday, July, 2 1994, I was in company of my nephew “Mahmoud”, a child of 18 months, in the Augusta Victoria hospital in Jerusalem, also known as “al-Motala” hospital. The father and mother of the child were denied entry to Jerusalem by the Israeli military, so I went with him to the hospital. I heard at 17:10 that the doors of the hospital were knocked down loudly and loudly, then I heard glass falling, scattered on the ground.

...I saw how a soldier pulled a nurse by her hand and pushed her firmly back, then another soldier broke the door of the intensive care unit, and all the soldiers rushed into the room. Women started shouting and insulting the soldiers. They got out of the rooms with children with the glucose needles still hanging from their arms. The children were all crying and trembling in fear. The children continued crying even after the soldiers had left the ward.

The soldiers broke the door leading to the maternity unit located at end of the children’s section. They entered the department of women and ordered all the men to lie on the ground and then trampled over their heads with their boots. Among those men who were prostrated on the ground, with the military boots over his head, was a professor from Jericho.

Another soldier was molesting another woman who had given birth only hours before, he asked her many questions in English until she fell in coma. I thought that she had died, and then I ran out to the first floor. I saw over 50 IDF soldiers deployed in the hospital. I called the emergency, I also called Dr. Anis Al-Qaq, a member of the Supreme Health Council, and I asked him to inform the security information office about the horror going on in the hospital.

...
The people told me that the soldiers invaded the hospital looking for the body of a Palestinian. Others said that the Islamic Jihad had spread fliers in the hospital in which they declared their responsibility for a suicide bombing on the past 30 July 1994 near Gaza, and they took the body.
There is no good way to "spin" thirty years of organ trafficking sanctioned by the State of Israel. It is what it is. He who has eyes to see, let him see.

listening to the experts

Because I've been writing about the swine flu for a while now, and since I also don't watch tv, I found this grimly amusing. It's particularly amusing how amused these experts are by the whole thing. So funny, you know?





You know, at one point in this video the dok-tor comments on how this flu has very cleverly spread all around the world, so even though it's not that deadly it has been a wily virus. Be Afraid. !!!

Uh huh. That didn't have anything to do with Baxter shipping live virus to 18 countries did it?

No mention of that from the experts. They don't do Conspiracy Facts. It interferes with the mind-fucking for fun and profit.

Israel needs to read a book about democracy



via irish4palestine, link to the right

Oh, the drama.

Meanwhile on Monday evening, several demonstrators stood outside the embassy in Tel Aviv to protest the Swedish government's failure to denounce the Aftonbladet article.

The demonstrators, representatives of Zionist social movements Im Tirtzu and Hatikva, wore T-shirts with the images of Theodor Herzl and Joseph Trumpeldor; held Israeli flags and banners reading "Anti-Semitism under the cover of free speech" and posed for the press photographers, who nearly outnumbered them.

The protesters also set up a stall on which they placed a pot full of red paint into which they dipped matzot. A sign on the stall read, "Palestinian organs for sale here." The stall was a macabre reference to medieval blood libels about Jews killing Christian children so they can use their blood to make matza.

One demonstrator lowered the Swedish flag from the mast in front of the building.

"We are here in front of the Swedish Embassy to protest against the new blood libel against the Jews, in its 2009 version," Im Tirtzu spokesman Amit Barak said. "This ugly accusation against the IDF is nothing but a new take on old and familiar anti-Semitism. We expect the Swedish foreign minister and the Swedish government to take a firm stand against it and expose it for what it is instead of hiding behind the excuse of free speech."

Barak said his group was pleased by the determination of the Israeli government in face of a developing diplomatic crisis with Sweden.

"Finally the Foreign Ministry is standing up for Israel and the IDF," he said. "If I was in charge, I'd call the Israeli ambassador back from Sweden. Let him rest here for a while."

Im Tirtzu is a campus-based organization whose main objective is to "return Zionist values to the public debate."

"I see a direct line between the lies that where published in the Swedish newspaper and the types of cowardly and baseless accusations made by Israeli organizations like Shovrim Shtika," said Barak, referring to a organization of reserve soldiers who have accused the IDF of committing war crimes in Gaza.

"There is no doubt that if there are organizations here in Israel that call Israeli soldiers murderers, it provides fertile soil for similar accusations by foreign organizations."

The lone public official to arrive on the scene was Likud MK Carmel Shama. He arrived after the protest was already under way did not appear to have been recognized by the protesters.

"I fully support what these young people are doing," said Shama. "It's time for the Swedish government to stop using freedom of the press as an excuse and present a clear condemnation of the article. We don't expect an apology, but a plain condemnation is in order."

Very serious PR problems call for all hands on deck

Intense Israeli pressure on Sweden has resulted in a sort of retraction.
A SWEDISH newspaper admitted overnight it did not have proof for an earlier story alleging Israeli soldiers had trafficked the organs of Palestinians, which sparked a diplomatic row with Israel.
Proof. What kind of proof do they need? Bodies? The Swedish paper published eye-witness accounts. There are other eye-witness accounts. Proof is for a court of law not a newspaper. Eye-witness accounts are first class evidence in a court of law. What was Bostrom supposed to do, exhume bodies?

Do the Israelis cooperate with inquiries into their behavior? NO! They deny. They stonewall. They manipulate. They lie. They claim 'security.' They use every technique in the book to cover up their crimes.

They don't punish their soldiers. What happened to the soldiers who killed Fadel Shana? Does anyone remember this murder caught on videotape?

Nothing. He was killed with impunity. It was caught on videotape -- irrefutable evidence. It didn't matter. Nothing happened.

Take also the use of white phosphorous in Gaza, which Israel denied repeatedly and brazenly by the way, even in the face of irrefutable evidence. When they finally admitted it they said it was legal. Then they denied denying it.

Israel denies everything, whether the proof is irrefutable or circumstantial. It makes no difference. So where does this demand for irrefutable proof come from? Aha, from gate-keepers. It is part of the hasbara. But excuse me for noticing that we are dealing with Known Liars. Why do they deserve the standard of irrefutable proof in order to sustain an inquiry into their behavior? Whose interests does that standard serve? Israel's.

You see it takes time to get irrefutable evidence, especially when the Israelis control everything and refuse to cooperate. More Palestinians could die waiting for the irrefutable evidence of organ theft while Israel stonewalls on all the merely circumstantial evidence against them, like missing bodies for instance.

Guess what? Circumstantial evidence counts. Eye-witness statements count.
In law, evidence that is drawn not from direct observation of a fact at issue but from events or circumstances that surround it. If a witness arrives at a crime scene seconds after hearing a gunshot to find someone standing over a corpse and holding a smoking pistol, the evidence is circumstantial, since the person may merely be a bystander who picked up the weapon after the killer dropped it. The popular notion that one cannot be convicted on circumstantial evidence is false. Most criminal convictions are based, at least in part, on circumstantial evidence that sufficiently links criminal and crime.
This is what is really happening and why:
The recent article on Israeli Organ Stealing from dead or captured Palestinians published in a Swedish newspaper has sent the Zionists into a “freak-out frenzy” which, I am finding quite comical. For all of the Zionist huffing and puffing and self righteous pontificating, calling for Sweden to “condemn” the printing of said article, but no matter, the real problem is not the fault of this article being published, for the problem is with Israel, not Sweden.

Here’s why. Israel is not seen as an honest entity, and that is not the fault of Sweden or any article written about Israel. Israel has created its own reality, the world has seen Israel’s refusal to admit to any of the atrocities it has clearly committed, many of which have been witnessed by millions of the worlds people. We all saw the genocide in Gaza, the white phosphorous, the DIME missiles, the tanks, the destruction of homes, hospitals, mosques, UN schools, and the death toll of over a thousand civilians and 400 children.

[what follows in an excellent unpacking of "Zionist Logic" -- please go read it you won't be disappointed - ed.]

So, when an article like this is written, no amount of hasbara can make the reader believe Israel is innocent, because we have all been taught otherwise by Israel itself.

Additionally, it is not Sweden’s fault that a journalist published what a source told him. That’s called journalism and free speech. The journalist only reported what was told to him by those who claim they have either witnessed this or been a victim of it. So, when viewed in that light every newspaper around the world would quickly go out of business. All those stories in your local paper that report what the journalist was told by the victim or witness, from automobile accidents, hit and runs, airplane crashes, murders, fights, anything anyone witnessed, any claims of police brutality, any claims of fraud, cheating, all of those are victim or witness reports. Just like the Swedish article was. The only difference is its about another Israeli crime, and it just so happens to fall on the heels of Israel being found doing much the same thing in the state of New Jersey in America. And given the view Israelis have of Arabs as animals that exist for the use of Zionists, it’s not too difficult to believe what the victims told the Journalist.

Inside the Beast

From the Bostrom report:
We know that Israel has a great need for organs, that there is a vast and illegal trade of organs which has been running for many years now, that the authorities are aware of it and that doctors in managing positions at the big hospitals participate, as well as civil servants at various levels.
We also know that young Palestinian men disappeared, that they were brought back after five days, at night, under tremendous secrecy, stitched back together after having been cut from abdomen to chin.
Hospitals and doctors participate in organ trafficking. That seems rather obvious. And since the ring extends to the United States, we're talking about American hospitals.

In case that strikes anyone as inconceivable, think about the red tape involved with medical care in the United States for people *with* insurance. Lots of paperwork, some insurance company automaton ready to stamp "DENY COVERAGE" on your procedure at the first opportunity. This is the mind-numbing reality for the lucky people *with* insurance. But somehow this reality becomes suspended in the case of organ trafficking!
According to Scheper-Hughes' informant within Rosenbaum's organization, confused and disoriented Russians would be flown into New York City by Israeli brokers who forced them at gunpoint to "donate" kidneys.
Scheper-Hughes: They told me the names of the hospitals, and they were our best hospitals!

Brian Lehrer: And did they know, professor, that they were performing kidney surgery on people who were unwilling participants and were being exploited and threatened?

Scheper-Hughes: My sense is, how could some of them not have known? The people that arrived, some of them didn't speak the same languages, they were poor, they were disoriented...

We have rules. We have transplant coordinating committees. We have ethical guidelines. And you don't just let people walk in off the streets.
She goes on to name Mount Sinai hospital, against whom she has videotaped evidence. She brought the videotape to the attention of 60 Minutes, which did not broadcast it. Later in the interview, she refers to operations done at Albert Einstein Medical Center. Mount Sinai says that its kidney donors "undergo an extensive evaluation to provide for their safety and well-being."
How could these doctors and hospitals NOT know? To receive any substantial medical care in this country, and often just to receive routine medical care, requires that you share practically everything: your medical history, your family's medical history, your social security number, employer, insurance, medications you take, etc. Does it not? Does anyone have a different experience with the health care system?

So how exactly does some poor Russian show up disoriented and end up on an operating table "donating" a kidney? And how does 60 Minutes decide that's not a good story if it happened ONCE, let alone hundreds or thousands of times? Does anyone have a good explanation for this?

Corruption. Corruption is real, and it is systemic. It's as real as having your organs stolen right out of your body. It's as real as being involuntarily committed to psychiatric care, interrogated, and drugged with mind-numbing pharmaceuticals.
I was wrongly diagnosed as delusional by the psychiatric staff of Ward 7 at Northland Base Hospital in Whangarei and held against my will [and forced to take pharmaceuticals - ed.] for 11 days in mid-2006, because I maintained the attacks of 9/11 were orchestrated by criminal elements inside the US Administration.
Claire Swinney is a journalist and member of Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice. If you click through to read her horrific story of human rights abuse -- at the hands of experts -- and follow through to the comments section, you will learn of other people who have been committed to psychiatric wards involuntarily for, essentially, thought crimes.

Even after the ordeal, however, Claire can't quite seem to grasp the reality of the corruption.
"Their comments, body language and the hospital notes indicated what took place was the result of ignorance and a stubborn unwillingness to look at the facts."
Really? Ignorance? Stubborn unwillingness?

How exactly do experts become so ignorant and stubbornly unwilling to look at facts? Perhaps they have something to gain by this behavior?

The experts become experts by conforming to the system that confers the coveted titles of expertise. The titles confer prestige, and compensation soon follows. Thus it happens that experts OWE their lives of privilege to the system, the system that produces the fancy diplomas on the walls of their offices. Do we really expect these people to RISK all that they have worked so hard to achieve, all that prestige and money and clients and power and good tables at fancy restaurants and nice cars and houses and shopping at expensive boutiques and great vacations, by challenging The System?

Don't be ridiculous. If they lose their credentials, they lose their income stream. It's really very simple, because as long as people believe in The System, experts will behave in ways that perpetuate The System. Corruption is assured.

So where does one turn for help? To the Legal System? To the cradle of corruption?

Let us examine a few particulars of the legal system to see how they bring benefit to evil and work to the detriment of good. If you read what legal theoreticians have to say about the structure of the legal system you will encounter statements like this: "It is a robust system which is designed to survive liars". "We assume that one side is lying one way, and the other is lying the other, and we let the jury find the truth - which will lie somewhere between these two extremes." What a wonderfully plausible lie that is.

To see the evil behind that last plausible lie it is necessary to turn the assumption upside down. Instead of assuming that both sides are lying, let us assume that one side is innocent, honest, and tells the truth. It is obvious that lying does an innocent defendant no good; what lie is he to use - "I did it"?

The truth - due to the nature of reality - is never completely favorable to anybody; there is always some element of the truth that makes an innocent person look bad.

Since the legal system assumes that the truth lies between the testimony of the two sides - there is always a shift toward the side telling the lies, and away from the side telling the truth. Under the right set of external circumstances This tilt, along with the fact that the truth may always be presented in such a way as to bring detriment to an innocent person, is often enough to shift the outcome toward the wrong side. Advantage: evil.

Yes, the "Two Sides to Every Story" Plausible Lie. We see the same reasoning applied to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict whenever we hear it suggested that the problem is very complex, there are two sides, both sides have suffered, etc. Our foreign policy experts tell us this, because they have spent years and years trying to make peace in the Middle East, and they can't solve it because the problems are, supposedly, simply intractable.
The presumption that dialogue is needed in order to achieve peace completely ignores the historical context of the situation in Palestine. It assumes that both sides have committed, more or less, an equal amount of atrocities against one another, and are equally culpable for the wrongs that have been done. It is assumed that not one side is either completely right or completely wrong, but that both sides have legitimate claims that should be addressed, and certain blind spots that must be overcome. Therefore, both sides must listen to the "other" point of view, in order to foster understanding and communication, which would presumably lead to "coexistence" or "reconciliation."

Such an approach is deemed "balanced" or "moderate," as if that is a good thing. However, the reality on the ground is vastly different than the "moderate" view of this so-called "conflict." Even the word "conflict" is misleading, because it implies a dispute between two symmetric parties. The reality is not so; it is not a case of simple misunderstanding or mutual hatred which stands in the way of peace. The context of the situation in Israel/Palestine is that of colonialism, apartheid and racism, a situation in which there is an oppressor and an oppressed, a colonizer and a colonized.

In cases of colonialism and apartheid, history shows that colonial regimes do not relinquish power without popular struggle and resistance, or direct international pressure. It is a particularly naive view to assume that persuasion and "talking" will convince an oppressive system to give up its power.
Aha, more experts who are ignorant and stubbornly unwilling to look at facts. Too bad for all the dead Palestinians, no?, that the international community is chock full of ignorant and stubborn foreign policy experts. The legal system will not protect people like Claire Swinney from the abusive medical system, and just as certainly, the foreign policy system will not bring justice to the Palestinians.

And I am suggesting to you that this is intentional. This is By Design. The biggest plausible lie of all is that the systems governing our lives have been designed by ethical people. On the contrary, the systems running our lives are designed and run by psychopaths. We literally live inside the beast.

The truth is that psychopaths and sociopaths have infested every single arena of human interaction that is worth controlling. Every single one. We are literally immersed in systems of their design, systems which allow them to abuse people and get away with it. It is so pervasive and long standing as to be nearly invisible to most people, who of course have been brainwashed into staying in the filthy narrow ruts that psychopaths have furrowed into the dirt for us. We think corruption is normal. We think we have to put up with it.

But that is a lie. We can design better systems, systems that work, but we will have to start from scratch. All the tinkering around the edges does nothing but waste time while preserving the essential corrupt systems with the corresponding corrupt people at the centers, which is exactly why they waste so much time tinkering around the edges. They call it politics.

We feed the system by conferring our respect to it's experts, be they political, financial, cultural, medical, whatever. We don't have to do that. We don't have to consume their opinions. We don't have to take their advice. We don't have to think the thoughts that they have prescribed for us. We don't have to supply them with the power that they use against us. We don't have to cooperate with them. We don't have to be compliant.

They will scream bloody murder because they know this will kill them, it will kill their power over us. Witness the shrieking over the organ trafficking story.

Mmm hmm. That means you're doing it right.

World to Israel: Answer the charges

Israel to Sweden: We want a clear denunciation not meditations on a blog
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1109008.html

Certainly. Right after you explain why these stories about organ trafficking have been so persistent for so many years. Do you deny all these charges? Are you accusing all these people of lying?
Dagan then told Belfrage that the historical legacy of the Holocaust made the issue all the more important to Israelis, in that hateful words and anti-Semitism can often evolve into violent actions. Dagan also expressed his fear that the article could lead to violence against Jews.
Give it a rest.
Bildt said he understood why the article stirred strong emotions in Israel, but said basic values in society are best protected by free discussion.

The article has enraged Israeli officials, who called it blatantly racist and said it played on vile anti-Semitic themes.

Because they can't deny the charges.

That's their problem. They can't deny these charges so they have to change the subject to anti-semitism. That's all they got.

Let's look at the Israeli measures. Notice what appears to be missing: AN ANSWER TO THE CHARGES.
The Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem had been doubtful that the Swedish government would publish a condemnation of the article, and was considering other measures. One idea is to cancel an upcoming visit by Bildt to Israel, set take place in 10 days.
Another idea was to allow Bildt to make the visit, but to use the trip as a well publicized criticism of the article, and for Israeli officials to refuse to speak with him about any subject other than the article.

Foreign Ministry officials the crisis would not end without official Swedish condemnation of the article.

Lieberman has informed Foreign Ministry employees to consider the cancellation of government press cards given to Aftonbladet reporters in Israel, as well as to refuse to assist the paper in any way whatsoever in covering Israeli news.

It also emerged Thursday that Defense Minister Ehud Barak is considering a libel lawsuit against Donald Boström, the writer of the article. Boström has reportedly been trying to publish a version of the article about Israel harvesting organs since 1992.

The Swedish government on Thursday distanced itself from a statement by its ambassador to Israel, in which she criticized the article saying that "the condemnation was solely the judgment of the embassy [in Tel Aviv], and designed for an Israeli audience." The comments came in a statement released Thursday by the Swedish Foreign Ministry.

"The article in the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet is as shocking and appalling to us Swedes, as it is to Israeli citizens," said Ambassador Elisabet Borsiin Bonnier on Wednesday.

"Just as in Israel, freedom of the press prevails in Sweden," Bonnier said. "However, freedom of the press and freedom of expression are freedoms which carry a certain responsibility."

Are the charges true or false? That's all we need to know.

[PS: Sweden, now is your chance...run...be free...wash your hands of these whack-jobs! If you don't cave in to the Israeli pressure they might Never Speak To You Again. ALL RIGHT?!?! Is that a promise?]

UPDATE:

Atheo News: Farwana: "All facts on the ground prove Swedish report correct"

Former Palestinian detainee, researcher Abdul-Nasser Farwana, stated that all facts on the ground, since decades, prove that the Israeli occupation executed Palestinian detainees after they surrendered and refused to hand their bodies to their families. Hundreds of bodies were transferred to the families days, months or even years after the fact, and when the bodies were sent back, they were missing vital internal organs.

Farwana added that the Swedish report, written by Donald Bostrom and published by Aftonbladet Swedish paper, regarding illegal trafficking of body parts of Palestinians is directly connected to the execution of Palestinians after they surrendered to the army, and is connected with the arrest of 40 well-known figures, including Rabbis in New Jersey for money laundering and corruption, in a scheme that involved sales of Israeli kidneys in the US and other corruption rackets.

Farwana added that one of the illegal acts carried out by Israel is having secret detention facilities in which dozens of detainees were imprisoned and never heard of anymore. This is in addition to the “Numbers Graveyard” in which “unknown” Palestinian and Arab fighters are buried.

He said that Israel still denies it is holding hundreds of Palestinian and Arab fighter, and refuses to cooperate with the Red Cross on the issue.

Donald Bostrom piece: "Our sons plundered for their organs" (with pictures)
You could call me a “matchmaker,” said Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, from Brooklyn, USA, in a secret recording with an FBI-agent whom he believed to be a client. Ten days later, at the end of July this year, Rosenbaum was arrested and a vast, Sopranos-like, imbroglio of money-laundering and illegal organ-trade was revealed. Rosenbaum’s matchmaking had nothing to do with romance. It was all about buying and selling kidneys from Israel on the black market. Rosenbaum says that he buys the kidneys for $10,000, from poor people. He then proceeds to sell the organs to desperate patients in the States for $160,000. The accusations have shaken the American transplantation business. If they are true it means that organ trafficking is documented for the first time in the US, experts tell the New Jersey Real-Time News.

Meanwhile, Aftonbladet editor Jan Helin has said that Bostrom's article poses a question - why the bodies have been autopsied when the cause of death is obvious? There I think Israeli authorities owe us an answer, he said. source

8/20/09

Just who do you think you are?

Do you wonder about the organ stealing stories coming out since the New Jersey scandal broke? One thing is for sure, this story draws out the long sharp claws.
Boström's article, first to appear in English on Haaretz.com, makes a link to the recent exposure of an alleged crime syndicate in New Jersey. The syndicate includes several American rabbis, and one Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, who faces charges of conspiring to broker the sale of a human kidney for a transplant.

"Now that [the story] has once again risen to the surface, I wanted to point out the link [to the New Jersey affair] and the fact that there needs to be an investigation of the claims," Boström said.

Boström said he had offered the story to another Swedish newspaper, Dagens Nyheter, which turned it down "with no explanation."

The reporter said Aftonbladet, the most popular evening tabloid in Sweden, published the article without making any editorial changes. Asa Linderborg, an editor of the newspaper's culture section which printed the story, told Haaretz that the publication "stands behind the demand for an international inquiry." "We had many discussions on whether to publish the article or not, and to the best of my knowledge, there are no facts there that are incorrect," Linderborg said.

A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry on Wednesday blasted the article, calling it anti-Semitic "hate porn". "This article has clear elements of medieval blood libels against Jews," Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said of Monday's story in Aftonbladet. Accusing the tabloid of encouraging hate crimes, he said: "This is intolerable."
OK, so on one side we have a paper publishing claims after checking them and finding no evidence that the claims are incorrect. Due to the appalling nature of the claims, the Swedish editors stand behind the demand for an international inquiry.

In Response, they are accused by an Israeli spokesman of publishing anti-semitic hate porn and medieval blood libels against Jews, and encouraging hate crimes.

Hmm. No, sorry, the Swedish editors have stated clearly that they call for an international inquiry.

So to recap, a call for an international inquiry = anti-semitic hate porn. Actually no. Not the same. Not in reality. Maybe in some people's minds that is the same thing but if so, then maybe those people display a little hysterical paranoia, and one can't help but wonder if that comes from worrying about being caught. Hmm? I mean if you have nothing to hide, what's the problem?

Maybe they're worried about people finding things like this:

December 2001:
Romanian authorities are looking into possible links between Israeli adoption agencies and an illegal global conspiracy to sell organs for transplants.

The Romanian Embassy in Israel has asked for, and received from the Labor and Social Affairs Ministry, a list of all children born in Romania who have been brought to Israel for adoption in recent years. The Romanian officials are trying to ascertain if all such children arrived in Israel with all organs in their bodies.

November 2002:
National health insurance schemes turn a blind eye. Israel's participates in the costs of purchasing organs abroad, though only subject to rigorous vetting of the sources of the donation. Still, a May 2001 article in a the New York Times Magazine, quotes "the coordinator of kidney transplantation at Hadassah University Hospital in Jerusalem (as saying that) 60 of the 244 patients currently receiving post-transplant care purchased their new kidney from a stranger - just short of 25 percent of the patients at one of Israel's largest medical centers participating in the organ business".

Many Israelis - attempting to avoid scrutiny - travel to east Europe, accompanied by Israeli doctors, to perform the transplantation surgery. These junkets are euphemistically known as "transplant tourism". Clinics have sprouted all over the benighted region. Israeli doctors have recently visited impoverished Macedonia, Bulgaria, Kosovo and Yugoslavia to discuss with local businessmen and doctors the setting up of kidney transplant clinics.

Such open involvement in what can be charitably described as a latter day slave trade gives rise to a new wave of thinly disguised anti-Semitism. The Ukrainian Echo, quoting the Ukrinform news agency, reported, on January 7, 2002, that, implausibly, a Ukrainian guest worker died in Tel-Aviv in mysterious circumstances and his heart was removed. The Interpol, according to the paper, is investigating this lurid affair.

According to scholars, reports of organ thefts and related abductions, mainly of children, have been rife in Poland and Russia at least since 1991. The buyers are supposed to be rich Arabs. [wink wink wink!- ed.]
May 2007:

Turkish police on Tuesday arrested an Israeli doctor suspected of being involved in an illegal ring of organ traders operating out of a private hospital in Istanbul. The man, Professor Zaki Shapira, was arrested in the midst of a gun battle which erupted in the hospital last weekend after four armed men stormed the facility and demanded their money back.

November 2007:

It was first written off as a sex ring, but that didn't make any sense. Who is going to pay $2,000 to have sex with a 12 yr old black boy, when you have hundreds of 10 yr old white Ukrainian girls all over Tel Aviv. But someone is paying $3,000 a kid wholesale, and the reason is black market organs.

It's just economics in organ trading. You bring in a 12 yr old into Tel Aviv, and you don't just grab one $5,000 kidney, and then spend $200,000 raising the kid through college. That kid hits the operating table and he has kidneys, liver, cornea, heart, lung, marrow, etc., and everything is removed. It happens in Israel because of the security needed.

The kidnappers get $3,000 a kid, and all the organs can bring $150,000.

The French “humanitarian” charity NGO Zoe’s Ark (L’Arche de Zoé) involved in Chad and Darfur is under investigation by the United Nations, France and Chad for trafficking in black children in the widely under-reported “L'Arche de Zoé affair.”

Oh dear. This doesn't look good, and we haven't even scratched the surface of what happens to the Palestinians.

Evidently some people believe in a pecking order, a food chain that applies to human beings, that can be exploited for gain.
Human strip mining of the dead for usable parts is not limited to former police states in South Africa, Brazil, and Argentina. Similar practices can be found in one of the wealthiest communities of the United States. In the fall of 1999, I sat in a diner in Hollywood with Jim C., notorious “organs broker” who solicited international buyers and sellers from his home. “There’s no reason for anyone to die in this country while waiting for a heart or a kidney to materialize. There are plenty of spare organs to be had in other parts of the world.” Though Jim is operating in a grey netherworld, he insists that what he does is not illegal. “Don’t think of me as an outlaw,” he said. “Think of me as a new version of the old-fashioned marriage broker. I locate and match up people in need.”

...Israel has recently become something of a pariah in the transplant world. Without a strong culture of organ donation and under the pressure of angry transplant candidates, the Ministry of Health has refused to crack down on the country’s multi-million dollar business in transplant tourism that arranges junkets from dialysis clinics in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv to medical centres in Europe and the United States.
“Why should we Israelis be made to travel to third world clinics to get the kidneys we need to survive from the bodies of peasants, soldiers, or guest workers who may be in worse physical shape than ourselves?” a 71-year-old “kidney buyer” from Tel Aviv asked me rhetorically. “Organs should be seen as a human, not as a national resource.” It was good to see “Avirham,” an elderly gentleman, alive and happy with his revitalizing 22-year-old “peasant” kidney. And his living donor? “A peasant, without anything!” he replied. “Do you have any idea what $1,000, let alone $5,000 means in the life of a peasant?”

...Avirham, who flew from Jerusalem to Georgia for his kidney, explained why he would never tolerate a donation from a corpse: “That kidney is practically dead. It was probably pinned down under the wheels of a car for several hours. . . I was able to see my donor. He was young, healthy, strong. Just what I was hoping for.”
This attitude, so blithely expressed as the most reasonable, understandable expression of self-preservation in the world, strikes normal people as morally repugnant. Disgusting. Aberrant. Evil. The organ trafficking story represents the loose thread, the thread that needs to be pulled on relentlessly because it's going to unravel the lies covering up the culture of human sacrifice that governs our world. And in a way that people will readily understand.

Americans love to rally around anyone with cancer, any small-town story of somebody who needs a transplant, any kind of drama like that gets people thinking 'there but for the grace of God go I...' a saying I don't like one bit because it implies that God has withdrawn grace from people in distress, but not to quibble on that point... the idea being that Americans tend to appreciate the random nature of illness. They understand that illness can strike anyone at anytime. Nobody is safe. Illness somehow levels the playing field of life, and that encourages people to help each other, and hey the next thing you know you're on Extreme Home Makeover right? So to find out that the transplanted kidney you raised money for to help the sick kid in town might have a suspicious provenance, well that will give some people pause. It introduces an ethical dilemma into something that previously had been very clear.

Because if not every organ comes from a willing donor, then the value of human lives must go onto some mysterious scale. But who does the scale belong to?

The people who think they own the scale don't want you to ask that question because they know that normal people recoil from such judgments and from any people who make them so carelessly, so they're ramping up the hysteria and waving arms frantically to keep everyone away from this highly lucrative business of organ trafficking, which runs on their ability to make exactly such judgments without a drop of remorse. As if they own the scale that measures the value of human lives, which they most certainly do not.

Cashing in on the execution

All right. We know that Big Pharma plans to cash in Big Time on the vaccines no matter what, but in order to get the full benefit from a pandemic many people and events must be coordinated on the ground so that the desired changes to the way society operates become permanent. That's what the International Swine Flu Conference in Washington DC taking place this Wednesday through Friday (via Lew Rockwell and Jane Burgermeister, pdf) is all about -- making sure that the businesses and health care professionals and fire and police and first responders all have their marching orders and work together.

Do you think they will go to all these preparations and then say Nevermind?

Yeah me neither.

Here's my very cynical take on this in green:
Know How To Respond
Recognize problems earlier. Make the right decision faster. Rush people through the decision making process, don't give them time to think, keep the sense of panic and fear heightened.

How to Plan
Make everyone a stakeholder. Spell out roles and responsibilities. Make sure the blame is so widespread that nobody can come back later and hang it around your neck.

Plan To Continue
Maintain cash flow and work flow. Keep the learning process alive. Make lots of money.

Protect Your Community
Know your resources. Test them against your toughest scenarios. Know who is going to give you problems and who is going to go along.

Top leaders and key decision-makers of major companies representing a broad range of industries will meet with distinguished scientists, public health officials, law enforcers, first responders, and other experts to discuss pandemic prevention, preparedness, response and recovery at the 1st International Swine Flu Summit. This conference is put on for the benefit of corporations and businesses.

At the summit, attendees will be able to draw on first-hand best practices to create the solid business continuity plans that their companies and organizations need in order to prepare for, respond to, and survive a pandemic. This conference is put on for the benefit of corporations and businesses.

The summit draws on the success of the seven previous Bird Flu summits which featured as speakers several distinguished personalities such as Dr. David Nabarro, the United Nations Coordinator for Avian and Human Influenza, Alex Thiermann of the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) and Dr. Wenqing Zhang of the WHO Epidemic and Pandemic Alert and Response. Seven previous summits? Hey it's time to cash in people.

Well-known emergency responders, heads of hospitals from around the world, and hog/swine industry leaders will speak in this summit. Ironic they should say so.
Topics Include:
Mass Fatality Management Planning from the flu that so far has shown to be remarkably indistinguishable from the regular flu, to the point that they stopped trying to count the cases
Country Report & Situations Update planning
Surveillance and Data Management a great excuse to play big brother
Preparing Communities Strategies; Local Partnership and Participation planning
Delivery of Vaccine and Antiviral Medication I think this will be a hot angle based on the National Guard exercises in Maine last week
National Pandemic Influenza Medical Countermeasure injecting people with poison vaccines
Socio-Economic Impact on Hog/Swine Industry they'll have to be compensated for pretending to be "it" when the flu virus was actually made in labs
Benefit-Risk Assessment: Public Health, Industry and Regulatory Perspectives making changes permanent
Prevention Education Efforts and Risk Communication mind control
Command, Control and Management control
Emergency Response Management control
Business-Based Planning control
School-Based Planning control
Community-Based Planning control
Really, you have to click through and see the break-out sessions, with exciting titles like Mass Fatality Management Planning, Psychological Issues, Business Continuity Planning, Continuity of Operations (COOP) and Contintuity of Government (COG) Planning, etc.

Swine Flu will be the vehicle to finally Go Fascist, to combine business and government interests once and for all as a necessary response to this manufactured crises which will be passed off as a plausibly deniable natural disaster. Who could have predicted? Nobody except all the people who have been predicting at the top of their lungs.

Importantly, the brochure highlights that participants to the 7th Bird Flu Conference have "Decision Making Authority." Thirty percent of attendees make the final decision, and thirty five percent make recommendations to the final decision maker. It's about being in charge, and the conference will teach these participants to "make the right decision faster." The right decisions made quickly will lead to reward$. They want decision makers at the conference so they can show them what decisions to make while encouraging them in group think and risk-spreading behavior, which is how they will protect themselves from responsibility; and the decision makers want to be at the conference so they can cash in, survive and prosper from the Swine Flu pandemic, all the while burnishing their credentials for having attended the International Swine Flu Summit in the first place. This is the establishment in action fluffing itself. It's group evil basically, and a lot of decent people will get swept up in it, which is the sad part because many people just don't understand how they're being manipulated.

I mean, this is simply marketing. Here are the top five reasons for business people to attend the summit:
Gain a broad bird’s eye view of the global swine flu situation.
Get the freshest updates from hard-to-reach country experts.
Learn how your company / organization can prepare for a pandemic.
Establish contacts with key local, federal and international agencies involved in the fight against swine flu. Fusion Centers promise to be hubs of activity where the public and private sectors will swap all of OUR information with each other
Draw on first hand best practices from top companies to create solid business continuity plans.
Oh and there's a Team Discount. Register three people from your organization and get the fourth free! Such a deal. This will be the opportunity of a lifetime people. Hurry hurry there's still time and the best part is that it's all in the name of Public Service, so what do you have to lose?

The No Choice Tell

Not to sound like a broken record, but this happens over and over again -- this 'we have no choice' argument. It comes down to framing and the way the media and other experts frame arguments, choosing which facts to highlight and which ones to ignore, so that they can corral public opinion in certain directions. Cattle. Fences. The bolt through the forehead. That sort of thing. It reminds me of this dream I read at Homo Veritas blog:

I was looking at a trail of passenger aeroplanes, all flying in the same direction, practically jostling each other for space. The path they were following was so tight there was no possibility of turning around and flying the other way. On either side of the path, an ethereal big blue sky.

I take the aeroplanes to represent people, following each other in the same direction along a crowded route with no apparent beginning or end. They do not see any benefit in a change of thinking which would take their lives in a different, potentially better direction. Just off the route, so near yet so far, was plenty of wide open space (expansive thought).

The corporate media uses psyops to keep people trapped in this narrow lane of thinking. We must do A or B. God or Mother Nature. Kill or Be Killed. Whenever you see 'we have no choice blah blah blah...' let that be a Big Red Flag to you that yes indeed, we DO have other choices, and no, they DON'T want them to come anywhere near your mind. They want to control your mind, and so they have experts and other people respected by the establishment (ie: they make big money or have been elected or have high military rank or all of the above (trifecta!)) to tell you, stupid you, about the choices "we" have.

In order to keep this going they have to control the narrative, the big story the big dots have to stay connected in a certain order, among a minimum number of people in the United States. Things like 1) Israel is our Best Friend in the Whole Wide World and 2) The Economy Is Turning Around and 3) Be Afraid of Terrorists and 4) Your Government Would Never Hurt You Intentionally Though It Might Make Some Mistakes From Time to Time But You Can Blame Problems on Democrats If You're a Republican and Republicans If You're a Democrat, being the four major psyops themes off the top my head, with many many avenues of extended mind-fuckery available for well-meaning people to get lost exploring. For instance we have 9/11 Conspiracy Theories, Foreign Policy, Global Warming/Climate Change, Party Politics, Chemtrails, the War on Drugs, Sex Trafficking, Gun Running...you get the idea. There's plenty of stuff to keep everybody busy and while intelligent people go off to sort through their pet peeves and fight these good fights, the main psyops remains focused on keeping a core segment of the population chanting approved mantras related to the big priorities. It's all a numbers game and surely they have their damned computer simulations predicting how many people they need to keep mentally corralled one way or the other, either glued out on teevee or lost in the weeds of some particular issue, in order for them to carry out their plans unmolested.

But, you know, people go and do unpredictable things.
Something unprecedented is occurring in Honduras. Since the military coup which occurred on June 28th, the people of Honduras have mounted 6 weeks of sustained, massive, non-violent resistance to the violent take-over of their country. Perhaps even more astounding, is that this resistance shows no signs of tapering off. On the contrary, the movement continues to build in momentum and numbers despite violent repression on the part of the military.

...On banners, signs, wall graffiti and chants throughout the country, the people are responding with an even more astounding message of their own, “They are afraid of us, because we are not afraid of them!” This declaration of freedom from fear has become the motto for the non-violent resistance movement in Honduras. It has liberated a spontaneous upwelling of, peaceful resistance to a legacy of brute force and abuse of power, and shows no signs of stopping.

...At every turn, the coup leaders are meeting people who refuse to recognize their legitimacy and who are not afraid. Meanwhile, the economic situation is deteriorating rapidly as the state of internal in governability and international rejection of the coup continue. Historically, Honduran power elites and their Washington, D.C. allies have relied on the power of fear and violence to quell popular dissent. They are beginning to realize that something is happening here in Honduras that was not in their playbook.
I would just point out that these are poor people by American standards. They decided to make some sacrifices and stand together, even though it would have probably been really easy to say hey we have no choice but to succumb. We're poor, the government has put violent thugs in place to oppress us, some of us have been killed, etc. But they didn't buy into those choices, and now the power elites have to deal with something that was not in their playbook, something outside the simulacron parameters. I'm sure that does not make them happy. In fact, they fear this kind of thing like their worst nightmare. The Honduran signs go to the core of the issue: Who Should Really Be Afraid Here? The Many or The Few?

One of Bilderberg’s primary concerns according to Estulin is the danger that their zeal to reshape the world by engineering chaos in order to implement their long term agenda could cause the situation to spiral out of control and eventually lead to a scenario where Bilderberg and the global elite in general are overwhelmed by events and end up losing their control over the planet.

Estulin said that the economic crisis is a vastly greater threat than a mere recession and that, as long as the present structure of the global economy remains the same, it will ultimately lead to a massive population reduction of two thirds within a generation or two.

Estulin said that such a massive crisis would bring many unknowns that “Scare and frighten some of the more savvy members of the Bilderberg inner circle who are wondering how far they have actually gone not only to destroy the world but perhaps even destroy themselves,” adding that this subject was a topic of conversation at this year’s meeting.

Estulin highlighted a phrase that he first ran across in Bilderberg documents many years ago but only came to understand more recently following the 2002 meeting in Chantilly Virginia, the term “demand destruction”.

Estulin said that a source connected to the World Bank explained to him that, “You destroy demand by destroying the world economy on purpose – which is what we’re witnessing right now,” added Estulin, “destruction of the world economy on purpose.”

They're afraid of suffering the unintended consequences of destroying the world economy on purpose, as well they should be! After all, destroying the world economy on purpose is EVIL. It's an incredibly evil thing to do, and they expect it to result in a massive population die-off (that's a feature not a bug), and frankly, that's the kind of thing that just pisses normal people off. It's a little over the top, even for a culture that has been ruthlessly desensitized to evil. Therefore if people start understanding the real agenda, they might just resist. One would hope. Thus the relentless media efforts to keep people mind-controlled on the psyops themes stated above.

But it's not working. People have caught on to Israel. The economy sucks. The wars we started drag on interminably. And swine flu gives lie to the whole "innocent mistake" theory of government.

If the elites want to take the world economy down and live to tell the tale, and they obviously committed to that plan some time back, they need to snap the trap shut fast or we humans will get away. THEY are the ones who are running out of options, not us. But in their evil minds, they will never go down alone. Spiteful creatures. So we have to worry about the false flags, because time has nearly run out for the global elites to execute their plans. They have started the process to destroy the existing economy, but they can't switch over to the New World Order (and currency) until.....until everything's ready. And sadly for them but great for the rest of us, they are having problems executing. This explanation comes from the comments to a post written by James at Winter Patriot's community. He wrote it back in April, and I think he brilliantly captures the dynamics at play.
The implementation of the global currency requires everybody's acceptance. This is best achieved if everyone is stampeded into it without the opportunity to critically analyse the consequences. It's the spruiker's cry, "Hurry, hurry, this sale, this opportunity, whatever, wont last! Act now or miss out"!!! You need panic but panic only lasts so long.

But the critical thing that will make the global currency work and will trap everybody thereafter is not in place yet. And that is the control of ALL the oil fields or even all the oil sales or, at the very least, all the oil pipelines. They won't want to present the global currency for adoption till then. Hence Timmy Geinther's coy dance from one foot to the other about the acceptability of a One World Currency. If nations can purchase oil without using a global currency, then they will do so rendering the currency ineffective as a control mechanism. It will also give them time to explore other solutions.

Ideally in implementing a complex strategy, you make one step at a time making sure each move is completed before moving onto the next. I like to call it the "Tarzan Principle" whereby you make sure you have a firm grip of the next vine before letting go of the last one. This lessens the risk of a fatal fall.

What I think has happened is that the financial meltdown was started in advance, of course, as it had a long gestation period and in the meantime the oil fields or at least the oil sales were planned to come under the domination of the bankers. But it hasn't happened. The bankers now find themselves still hanging onto the last vine because they don't have control of the oil sales yet BUT the timing of the meltdown and the opportunity to shift straight over to a global currency (the next vine) is now swinging away from them. To leap for the Global currency vine too early could see them crash but waiting too long could arrest the whole plot. Momentum is crucial. You don't want to give the "mark" time to think about the scam on offer.

What to do? Start a war. And quickly to take out the production capability of the oilfields not under their control which means attacking Iran and, I see no way round it following this logic, Russia as well.

The buildup to it has to be disguised as much as possible. Hence the war games and mobilisation it covers. Hence the false overtures of an olive branch held out by Obama to Iran. And hence the timing of the Swine Flu.
Now this goes back to April. If their options were narrow in April, just imagine how they must be sweating bullets now. The continued hysterical warmongering against Iran means that they MUST get control over Iran's oil. As James pointed out to me, bombs dropped on Iran's imaginary nuclear weapons would most likely be aimed at Iran's reality-based oil infrastructure. Because our own intelligence agencies just this past week went on record yet again that Iran has no nuclear weapons program, so they are not a threat in the manner suggested by Israel. That would be a fact. Iran simply poses a threat to Israel's plans for world domination via the world's money supply, which is controlled through the world's oil supply. So controlling the oil means controlling the money, and it's really about the money and the bankers as usual, and they're all Jews, that's just a fact, and that's why all roads lead back to Israel. And that's why Israelis keep saying they have No Choice, and that means (according to them) that "we" Americans have No Choice because "we" HAVE TO always defend our Best Friend Israel. Because of the Special Relationship. !!! We Have No Choice. (blink!!! blink!!! blink!!!)

Oh yeah? That is a LIE. We are being sacrificed. Wrap your mind around it.

Israel has run out of choices, and the bankers have run out of choices. They are panicking. But we human beings have not run out of choices. We Americans have not run out of choices. And we could take some tips from the good people in Honduras about how to conduct an effective resistance, namely:

"They are afraid of us, because we are not afraid of them."

Hold the narrative up to the sunlight

While certainly no expert on Central and South America, I couldn't help but notice the particular call-out warning in Haaretz this week for Israelis in Columbia. From the end of yesterday's post discussing the likelihood of a false flag against Israelis/Jews any minute now:
Update: Haaretz: Israel tells nationals: Leave Sinai immediately
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1106759.html
The Counter-Terrorism Bureau in the Prime Minister's Office warned Israelis to exercise caution when traveling abroad during the Jewish holidays, due to the assessment that Hezbollah may try to attack Israeli citizens, and urged citizens in Sinai to leave immediately.

In issuing its report on Tuesday, which it does regularly before Rosh Hashanah and Passover every year, the bureau stated the bulletin "did not involve new warnings, but rather a current assessment."
It cautioned Israelis to be vigilant regarding anything unusual, and to refrain from traveling to Muslim countries subject to specific travel warnings. These countries include Jordan, Morocco and Egypt (including Sinai). Particularly high-level warnings have been issued regarding Sinai. An estimated 40,000 Israelis are currently there, most of them Israeli Arabs on vacation before Ramadan begins on August 20.

Other countries subject to travel warnings include Colombia, especially in light of specific information about the potential for attacks on Israelis providing security assistance to the Colombian government. High-level threats also have been issued for the Kashmir region, Mindanao in the Philippines, and parts of southern Thailand.

Here's some background on Israel and Columbia, on how up to two million Columbians have been displaced from their lands as a result of the armed conflict there, which is ultimately over resources for transnational corporations, and how Israel "helps." Oh and we "help" too.
Religious pretexts are obvious, such as the supposed “promised land” put forth by the Zionists in order to influence the international Christian community and justify (under “divine right”) the usurpation of Palestinian lands. In this case, for their [Colombian] brothers, the pretexts include the displacement and usurpation of lands belonging to Colombian farmers for the benefit of the Colombian oligarchy and the North American transnationals – something that cannot be of religious character, not to mention the absurdity in the paraphrase: “A land without people, for an oligarchy and transnationals without land.” No, this time, the justifications are different but the methods remain the same. For instance…
Click through to judicial-inc for the details.

But to get more specific to the reference in Haaretz, the Columbian government hired some Israeli military officers to help fight the FARC guerillas (ie: "terrorist" types who resist the rape of Columbia by the Columbian oligarchy and North American transnationals?). And these Israeli military officers are nothing but thugs and criminals surprise surprise.

This article is from September 2007 (excerpts):
Colombian Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos has acknowledged that Bogota had quietly hired a group of former Israeli military officers to advise local defense officials on their counter-insurgency tactics against leftist Fuerza Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) guerrillas, the Colombian daily Semana newspaper reported on 10 August....The Israeli advisors - reportedly consisting of three senior generals, a lower ranking officer, an unnamed Argentinean officer and three translators - were hired under a reported US$10 million contract by the Colombian Defense Ministry to advise on how to improve the army's intelligence gathering capabilities. Santos reportedly approached former Israeli Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben Ami last year about the deal.

The Israeli group operates from Tolemaida in Cundinamarca Department, 240 kilometers from the capital Bogota, where the Colombian army runs its "Lancero" counterinsurgency-training course, with Colombian army instructors being assisted by US military personnel. The Israeli forces specialize in debriefing former guerrillas; previously, civil servants without specialized knowledge handled the interrogations, while the Israelis provide specialized interrogation techniques to improve the flow of intelligence from the de-briefings. But Deputy Defense Minister Sergio Jaramillo said the Israelis' assistance was invaluable: "They are like psychoanalysts; they ask us the material questions and help us see all the problems we weren't aware of before," according a 10 August report from the Israeli news service Ynet.

Mmm hmm. I'm sure they perfected all their "special interrogation techniques" and how to "debrief guerillas" on Palestinians before bringing this "invaluable assistance" to the Columbian government. So whatever the "specific information about the potential for attacks on Israelis providing security assistance to the Columbian government" reported in Haaretz this week, as if it's all completely innocent, it may have to do with the fact that Israelis have helped make Columbia a hell-hole for a couple million Columbians. And maybe some people in Columbia don't like Israelis very much, and maybe they have damn good reasons for feeling this way.

Israel is now Colombia's top weapons supplier, with the bulk of the armaments being used against FARC and another leftist group, the Ejercito de Liberacion Nacional (National Liberation Army or ELN). Israeli weaponry includes drones, light arms and ammunition, surveillance and communication systems and specialized bombs capable of destroying coca fields. The irony is that Colombia's armed forces occasionally clash with right-wing paramilitaries and drug cartel gunmen trained in the late 1980s by rogue Israeli mercenaries, one of whom was detained in Russia earlier this week on an Interpol warrant. The news throws a most unwelcome spotlight on the Colombian government's efforts to avail itself of Israeli expertise. In 1987, right-wing paramilitaries hired Israeli former Lieutenant Colonel reservist Yair Klein and members of his private "security" company Hod He'hanitin (Spearhead Ltd.) as advisors on the country's leftist insurgency with tacit approval from the government of President Virgilio Barco Vargas.

Klein is wanted by Colombia's law enforcement agencies after being convicted for training a terrorist group in 1990 - a group supported by Colombian drug dealers. The former Israeli army lieutenant colonel was convicted of terrorist activities and the training of gunmen from among local residents on territory not under the control of the official authorities." Klein was a former paratrooper and commando in the Israeli Army who left military service in 1985. His involvement in Colombia's interminable guerrilla war began in 1987 when Colombia's former justice minister Jose Manuel Arias Carrizosa approached Israeli contacts. Carrizosa had been named president of the Asociacion de Bananeros de Colombia (AUGURA), and its members in Uniban, Colombia's main banana and plantain export company, were looking for a way to cope with extortion by FARC guerrillas

....Over the next two years, Klein and his personnel trained right-wing vigilante paramilitaries belonging to affluent landowners, who would eventually become the nucleus of the Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia (AUC.) AUC quickly moved beyond its original intent of providing protection to wealthy landowners to becoming deeply involved in drug trafficking, and had support from elements in the army and the police, and Klein apparently shifted to providing expertise to the drug traffickers as well.

Hey expertise is expertise. With enough money you can buy all the expertise you need. But you know something, most experts are just mercenaries.

The only reason I point all this out today (because I'm no expert on this particular pail of worms) is due to the reference in Haaretz. Because if something happens to some Israelis in Columbia, for example, given that the Israeli Counter-Terrorism Bureau in the Prime Minister's Office had some unspecified (wink wink) but nonetheless specific information, I just thought it would be useful to know what kind of Israelis have helped the Columbian government in the past before we have a hue and cry about the poor innocent victims, targets of anti-semitism. Oh yeah, and if something happens let's not be too quick to blame it all on Hezbollah either, traveling all the way to Columbia to whack a couple of innocent Israelis. Give me a break. They could do that in their own back yard for pete's sake, why go to the trouble to do it in Columbia? To *prove* what a dangerous world-wide terrorist organization they are and thus justify a war that oh by the way Israel wants? Hmm? A war that will get a bunch of innocent Lebanese civilians killed? Hmm? Cui bono? With a small investment of my personal time I now *know* that if I hear a narrative about Hezbollah striking Israelis in Columbia, it's a big stinking pile of crap. It's exactly such a narrative that only makes sense to people who have preconceived ideas like all Muslims are terrorists and Israel has every right to defend itself and Jews are always victims -- in other words it only makes sense if you've been brainwashed into believing every talking point sponsored by the Jewish State.

The narrative sets up quickly. It's not going to be too difficult to get millions of Americans who rely on corporate media believing that the Israelis have been victimized yet again, even if it makes no sense. But as soon as you peel back the lid a tiny bit you'll find stuff like this. It's so easy to poke holes in the official stories. So easy. If only people make a very small effort they will see that the corporate media lies. That doesn't mean it's easy to find the *truth* about what happened in any particular event, but a big part of the truth is simply understanding how much the media lies. Like with 9/11, it doesn't matter so much which theory of 9/11 you subscribe to as long as you understand that the official story is a giant crock of shit. If you know that bin Laden has been dead for instance, you can immediately dismiss any so-called expert, military or otherwise, who still talks about capturing him as a liar. It's a very simple process of elimination. If they lie about one thing, and something so important, they cannot be trusted. Period. Why bother? I mean, what does it mean to be an "expert" today? It means you have been compensated very well to have certain opinions, and they're probably lies, at least some of them. The more ethical will insist on having *some* truth to tell, but the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Ha. Compromise is the name of the game.

People have to make a little personal effort. That's what it takes to break free of the illusion, a little effort, a little desire for the truth. Nobody has been exempted from caring. We have to care, and by caring we find our way over the threshold, outside into the disinfecting sunlight. You might stagger and be blinded for a while but it passes. And we're probably going to have another opportunity to go through this miserable terrorism narrative exercise very soon, and the sickening truth is that truly innocent people die every single day waiting for Americans to find their way to the door.

A Target Rich Environment

The options seem to be narrowing down to false flag. Israel will have No Choice. Well of course they do have other choices but they don't like the other choices, so in order to arrive at the choice they prefer, which is war on Iran, they will have No Choice but to go with a false flag.

Why does Israel want a war with Iran? Because Iran threatens Israel's hegemony, *financial* hegemony. And everything else flows from that. This article from November 2007 by Ellen Brown explains:

Usury is the practice of exalting money values over human and environmental values; of creating money at no cost and lending at rates of interest intended not to foster and maintain humanity or the ecosystem, but to

a) accumulate reserves of unearned income;

b) extract wealth from the productive sector in a manner that is parasitic;

c) extract wealth from those who lack wealth (the asset-less); and

d) make a claim on the future.

It is this debt scheme, with its lethal weapon of interest compounded annually, that has allowed a small clique of financiers to dominate the business of the world. In Tragedy and Hope, Professor Carroll Quigley, Bill Clinton's mentor at Georgetown University, wrote from personal knowledge of this group, which he called “the international bankers.” He said their aim was “nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole,” a system “to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements.”99 The key to the bankers' success was that they would control and manipulate the money systems of the world while letting them appear to be controlled by governments.

...

Iran was among the few nations to have escaped this global privatization scheme. Iran had its own oil. It managed to avoid the trap of letting its currency be devalued by speculators by imposing foreign exchange restrictions and price controls on its national currency (the rial), something it could afford to do because it had adequate foreign exchange reserves from its oil sales.12 Iran's state-owned oil industry has allowed its economy to perform well, despite economic sanctions and rumors to the contrary.13 A “reformist” movement toward increased privatization ended in 2005, when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected to the presidency. Ahmadinejad is a “populist” who has promised to redistribute Iranian oil wealth more expansively and has committed the government to funding public-sector projects and charitable investments.14

Islamic scholars have been seeking to devise a global banking system that would serve as an alternative to the usury-based scheme now in control internationally, and Iran has led the way in devising that model. Iran is characterized as a democratic Islamic republic, which enforces Islamic principles not only morally but legally and politically. The 1979 revolution overthrowing the American-backed Shah of Iran ended 2,500 years of monarchical rule. All domestic Iranian banks were then nationalized, and the government called for the establishment of an Islamic banking system that would replace interest payments with profit-sharing. Its state-owned central bank issues the national currency, with the “seigniorage” (the difference between the cost of producing money and its face value) accruing to the government rather than to private banks.15 The Iranian government is among the few to have very little foreign debt. It uses its state-owned banks to make loans and credits available to industrial and agricultural projects. The most unique feature of the banking system, however, is that it follows the Islamic proscription against usury. That means loans are made interest-free.16

Aaaand so forth. It's about the money.

Now naturally, it's rude to notice that, so it has to be about something else, and that's where Iran's nuclear-weapons program comes in so very handy. Except something has gone wrong there:
Iran is unlikely to be able to produce enough highly enriched uranium (HEU) for a nuclear weapon until at least 2013, according to a United States government intelligence estimate made public last Thursday.

...Many Iran analysts have called for the US to do nothing for the time being while the political situation within Iran develops - holding off on its planned engagement with Tehran while at the same time avoiding confrontational measures such as the imposition of additional sanctions.

But hawks in the US and Israel have argued that there is no time to spare in dealing with the Iranian nuclear program, and that the US should quickly move to sanctions targeting Iran's refined petroleum imports if engagement does not bear fruit by the end of September.

There has also been a great deal of speculation about whether Israel would undertake a unilateral military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities if it is not satisfied with the progress of negotiations - Israeli leaders have refused to rule out the possibility.

The INR estimate, which comes on the heels of other estimates suggesting that Iran is years away from a nuclear capability, may serve to defuse the crisis atmosphere that has come to characterize discussion of the issue in Washington and Jerusalem, and bolster those calling for patience in dealing with Tehran.

Blair's testimony to the senate, in which the estimate appeared, was released in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists (FAS), and published by Aftergood on the FAS website on Thursday.
This is an excellent article which goes on to describe the political pressure and manipulation exerted by Israel and her flunkies in the US, people like the notorious nutjob warmonger John Bolton, who makes breathless statements like this on Fox News:
Last Tuesday, former US ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton appeared on Fox News, citing the Times report in suggesting that "pressure [is] building" on Israel to strike Iranian nuclear facilities.

Bolton warned that "we are so close to Iran actually getting a weapon that these fine calibrations that we have got six months, or eight months, or 10 months, all you have to do is be wrong by one day" for the US and Israeli strategic calculus to change dramatically.
So you see, even though you have to go to the Asia Times rather than the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal to find out this very important news, as this is not moving toward the option that Israel wants to move toward which is to bomb the shit out of Iran and therefore they don't want the American public aware of it, you can see that this development poses a Big Problem for Israel. Because *some* people, nonetheless, will find out.

That's going to push things toward a false flag. The victim card will need to be played, and of course the harvest ripens by the day what with all the "anti-semitism" whipped up by the FBI sting in New Jersey and the general increasing awareness among the goyim of How The World Really Works.

In Lebanon, it's reported that the Russians helped Hezbollah smash Israeli spy rings, another ominous development.

The sources told DEBKAfile last week that the FSB and Hizbullah have “amassed quantities of undisclosed data” on Israel’s clandestine operations in Lebanon and “are holding it in reserve in order to leak spectacular discoveries as and when it suits their purpose.”

“This disclosure, if borne out, would indicate that the Russian agency, which specializes in counterespionage, is engaged for the first time in anti-Israel activity in the service of an Arab terrorist organization,” DEBKAfile said.

An Israeli security source described this turn of events extremely grave, Debkafile reported. It also cast an ominous slant on Moscow’s deepening strategic involvement in Syria.

And on top of that Hezbollah's Executive Council Chief Hashem Safiyyeddine makes the most outrageous statements you can possibly imagine about Israel.
"If Barak's threats were serious, though I don't think they were, he should be aware that if he commits an error or stupid act against Lebanon... he will discover that the months of July and August 2006 were just a bit of fun."......"Based on the fact that we are strong today and we have been living on the formula and the victory of the 2006 war, we believe that all of the Israeli threats are hollow and meaningless," Safiyyeddine said.

Safiyyeddine added that all Israeli schemes against the resistance and all the United States' political projects to curb the resistance and take vengeance on it have failed, adding that there is no need to be worried. Moreover, Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri ruled out any possible attack by the Jewish State on Lebanon this year, saying Israeli threats are part of media and psychological warfare against the country. Berri told As-Safir newspaper on Monday that he believed Israel would not launch war on Lebanon in 2009, unless an uncalculated dramatic event takes place.

That would be the false flag. That's the only move Israel has left, and everybody knows it. So you take that knowledge and look at what they report in Haaretz, for instance. The IOF acts provocatively moving toward Shaba Farms, a sensitive area between Israel, Lebanon and Syria. Bibi denies any tension but pre-emptively blames anything that might possibly go wrong on Lebanon and Hezbollah. The Israeli foreign minister starts squawking about any Israeli anywhere at any time who has even one hair on his or her head disturbed will trigger war, and by the way that will be Lebanon's fault because they have the nerve to set up defenses against Israel, and the Israelis just *know* that Hezbollah is ready to avenge the death of Imad Mughniyeh which happened 18 months ago and Israel denies that they had anything to do with it but still, they're just SURE that Hezbollah will take revenge for that any minute now, especially since they're embarassed over the munitions explosion that they *also* blame on Israel but Israel had nothing to do with that either. You know, somebody is going to get hurt.
According to Defense Ministry warnings, tourists and Israeli representatives abroad are thought to be likely targets. A bomb attack on Israel's embassy in Baku was foiled by Azerbaijani security forces in 2008.

Other comments by Israeli officials, including a senior commander in the Israel Defense Forces' Northern Command, who told The Times of London last week that the northern border "could explode at any minute," appear to indicate that Israel was preparing for a scenario in which a Hezbollah attack against an Israeli target abroad provokes a forceful Israeli reaction and, possibly, a new war.

Defense sources said, however, they believed the Hezbollah would try and calibrate an attack that, while effective, will not be able to serve as a casus belli. They noted the organization has not yet recovered from damages suffered in the war in 2006.

...Despite the warnings, some 330,000 Israelis departed the country for holidays abroad in the first week of August, while hundreds of thousands more are expected to leave during the holiday season of September-October. Most Israeli tourists will be traveling to Western Europe, North America and the Far East. The most popular destinations are Turkey, France, Germany and Italy.

Tourism industry sources also indicated a recovery of travel to Sinai. The first week of August saw 40,000 Israelis passing through the Taba crossing to the peninsula and onward to Egypt. Last year, 50,000 travelers passed through the crossing during the entire month.

...
>Ofer Heilig, of Nofar travel agents, also reported increased interest in proper hotels in Sinai, which appear to be replacing the traditional beach huts. "We've learned from experience, all of us - Egyptians and Israelis. There's an extremely high level of security in the hotels today. You can't even come close to any of them in private vehicles," he said. "Also, Israelis booked at hotels are taken by special shuttles to their destinations, accompanied by security guards."
Look at all those juicy, innocent Israeli targets, just waiting for "Hezbollah" to strike a hair on their head while they vacation in the Sinai, or in Western Europe, or North America, or the Far East, or Turkey or France or Germany or Italy. Something could happen anywhere and you'll see, no matter what the confusion it will be just like 9/11 and the narrative will start immediately about who is to blame, and the second you hear "The News" you should know that it's all a Damn Lie designed to start another war for Israel.

Update: Haaretz: Israel tells nationals: Leave Sinai immediately
http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1106759.html
The Counter-Terrorism Bureau in the Prime Minister's Office warned Israelis to exercise caution when traveling abroad during the Jewish holidays, due to the assessment that Hezbollah may try to attack Israeli citizens, and urged citizens in Sinai to leave immediately.

In issuing its report on Tuesday, which it does regularly before Rosh Hashanah and Passover every year, the bureau stated the bulletin "did not involve new warnings, but rather a current assessment."
It cautioned Israelis to be vigilant regarding anything unusual, and to refrain from traveling to Muslim countries subject to specific travel warnings. These countries include Jordan, Morocco and Egypt (including Sinai). Particularly high-level warnings have been issued regarding Sinai. An estimated 40,000 Israelis are currently there, most of them Israeli Arabs on vacation before Ramadan begins on August 20.

Other countries subject to travel warnings include Colombia, especially in light of specific information about the potential for attacks on Israelis providing security assistance to the Colombian government. High-level threats also have been issued for the Kashmir region, Mindanao in the Philippines, and parts of southern Thailand.

The Counter-Terrorism Bureau also recommends deferring unessential travel to Kenya (especially coastal areas), Bangladesh, Nigeria and Tajikistan.

Despite the warnings, Israeli tour operators are organizing trips to Jordan, Morocco and Kenya, as well as other countries where the threat is deemed high. Arkia Airlines is offering a safari package to Kenya and Uganda. Organized groups and individual Israelis visit Morocco regularly.

Israelis abroad are advised to refuse offers from unknown or suspicious individuals, and to refuse unanticipated invitations to isolated locations. They should meet with foreigners only in the company of other trusted individuals, and not allow unknown or suspicious individuals to enter their hotel rooms. Those abroad for extended periods are advised to vary their routines and change hotels.

The warning about an attack by Hezbollah, supposedly as revenge for the assassination of Imad Mughniyeh in Damascus, comes despite the fact that Israel never has admitted to being behind the killing. Israeli businesspeople, particularly those with contacts in Arab or Muslim countries, are believed to be at greater risk.

Details regarding advisories, including information about travel warnings for specific countries, are available at the Counter-Terrorism Bureau's Web site, www.nsc.gov.il (in Hebrew).
