Le journal des Sages de Sion du Jewish Institue for National Security Affairs (JINSA) nous dit ouvertement leur programme d'attaque contre la presse et pas seulement la presse libre. Toute la presse. (Le néocon John Bolton fait partie de la direction du journal et de l'institut.)
(...)Même si cela peut paraître impensable aujourd'hui, les guerres de l'avenir pourront nécessiter la censure, leblackout de nouvelles, et ultimement, des attaques militairescontre les médias partisans. Se percevant eux-mêmes comme des êtres supérieurs, les journalistes se sont mis dans la position d'une espèce protégée de combattants. Mais la liberté de la presse s'arrête lorsque ses abus tuent nos soldats et renforcent nos ennemis.(...)
(Although it seems unthinkable now, future wars may require censorship, news blackouts and, ultimately, military attacks on the partisan media. Perceiving themselves as superior beings, journalists have positioned themselves as protected-species combatants. But freedom of the press stops when its abuse kills our soldiers and strengthens our enemies.)
Un nouveau rapport, émanant d’un groupe néo-conservateur qui promeut, au nom de “Israël d’abord”, un programme belliqueux de conquête du Moyen-Orient, suggère que, dans les prochaines guerres, les USA devront faire de la censure des médias une politique officielle, et préconise « des attaques militaires contre les médias non complices.
Un groupe de néo-conservateurs préconise des frappes militaires sur les médias.
A l’ère des medias incorporés, les journalistes indépendants sont devenus les yeux et les oreilles du monde. Sans la volonté de journalistes non incorporés, de risquer leur vie pour se placer de l’autre côté du canon du tank ou du fusil ou encore sous les frappes aériennes, l’histoire ne serait presque racontée que du point de vue des troupes qui tirent et non de celui des civils, qui paient presque toujours le prix fort.
Dans le cas de l’invasion et de l’occupation de l’Irak, les journalistes qui se sont mis en danger sont le plus souvent des journalistes irakiens. Quelque 116 Irakiens journalistes ou travaillant dans les médias ont été tués tandis qu’ils accomplissaient leur tâche depuis mars 2003. En tout, ce sont 189 journalistes qui ont été tués en Irak. Seize au moins d’entre eux ont été tués par l’armée américaine, selon le Comité pour la Protection des Journalistes. Le réseau qui s’est le plus souvent trouvé sous attaque américaine est Al-Jezirah. Comme je l’ai écrit voilà quelques années dans La Nation :
“Les Etats-Unis ont bombardé ses bureaux d’Afghanistan en 2001, envoyé en avril 2003 des obus sur l’Hôtel Bassorah dont les seuls clients étaient des journalistes d’Al-Jazeera, tué à Bagdad quelques jours plus tard son correspondant Tareq Ayoub, et emprisonné (notamment à Guantanamo) plusieurs reporters d’Al-Jezirah, dont certains disent avoir été torturés. Outre les attaques militaires, le gouvernement irakien, appuyé par les Etats-Unis, a interdit à la chaîne de faire des reportages en Irak. »
Un nouveau rapport, émanant d’un groupe néo-conservateur qui promeut, au nom de “Israël d’abord”, un programme belliqueux de conquête du Moyen-Orient, suggère que dans les guerres futures les USA devront faire de la censure des médias une politique officielle, et préconise « des attaques militaires contre les médias non complices (par l’intermédiaire de MuzzleWatch). Le rapport destiné à l’Institut Juif pour les Affaires de Sécurité Nationale (JINSA) avait pour auteur le Colonel Ralph Peters, retraité de l’armée américaine. Il est paru dans la « publication phare » du JINSA, Le Journal des Affaires de Sécurité Internationale. « Aujourd’hui, les Etats-Unis et leurs alliés ne se trouveront jamais face à un ennemi isolé sur le champ de bataille. Il y aura toujours dans le combat un tiers hostile », écrit Peters, qui traite les médias de « tueurs sans fusils ».
“Certes, les medias ont façonné depuis des siècles l’issue des conflits, depuis les Guerres de Religion en Europe jusqu’au Viet-Nam. Mais, à date plus récente, ce sont les médias qui ont déterminé le résultat de conflits. Même si, au bout du compte, journalistes et éditeurs n’ont pas réussi à faire échouer le gouvernement américain en Irak, des caméras-vidéo et des reportages biaisés ont permis au Hezbollah de survivre à la guerre de 2006 avec Israël et semblent à Gaza avoir sauvé le Hamas de la destruction…
Même si cela semble actuellement impensable, les guerres à venir peuvent avoir besoin de la censure, de nouveaux black-outs et, en dernier recours, d’attaques militaires contre les medias non soumis. En se percevant eux-mêmes comme des êtres supérieurs, les journalistes se sont érigés en militants de la protection des espèces. Mais la liberté de la presse s’arrête là où ses abus tuent nos soldats et renforcent nos ennemis. Une telle vision des choses suscite aujourd’hui le dédain, mais la corporation médiatique, qui a oublié tout sens de patriotisme bien entendu, pourrait découvrir qu’elle va devenir la sagesse ordinaire de demain.
L’enjeu est d’une parfaite simplicité : gagner. Dans la guerre, rien d’autre n’importe. Si vous ne pouvez pas gagner proprement, gagnez salement. Mais gagnez. Nos victoires sont au bout du compte dans l’intérêt de l’humanité, tandis que nos échecs nourrissent des monstres ».
Il est, bien sûr, tout à fait approprié qu’un cri de guerre aussi ignoble incitant au meurtre des acteurs des medias apparaisse dans une publication de la JINSA. L’organisation a de longue date fait valoir un brillant casting de « conseillers » criminels, parmi lesquels Dick Cheney, Richard Perle, James Woolsey, John Bolton et Douglas Feith. L’Institut Juif pour les Affaires de Sécurité Nationale, en concordance avec le Projet pour un Nouveau Siècle de l’Amérique (PNAC), fut un des groupes majeurs qui ont façonné la politique américaine durant les années Bush et il garde une formidable force avec Obama à la Maison Blanche.
La lecture de l’essai morbide et pervers de Peters m’a remis en mémoire le rapport qui a fait surface fin 2005 sur un supposé complot de l’administration Bush – que j’ai couvert pour La Nation - en vue du bombardement du quartier général international d’Al-Jezirah au Qatar, “En Grande-Bretagne, le Daily Mirror a signalé que, au cours d’une réunion tenue en avril 2004 à la Maison Blanche avec le Premier Ministre Tony Blair, George W.Bush avait lancé l’idée de bombarder la base internationale d’Al-Jezirah au Qatar. Cette assertion se fondait sur une fuite des notes classées « Top Secret » du sommet Bush-Blair. L’Avocat Général britannique Lord Goldsmith avait mis en œuvre l’Official Secrets Act, menaçant toute diffusion d’une quelconque partie du memorandum (il avait déjà mis en accusation un ancien membre du Cabinet et un ancien assistant parlementaire). De sorte que, bien que nous ne connaissions pas encore le contenu du memo, nous savons qu’au moment de la rencontre de Bush avec Blair, l’administration était au plus haut niveau et de façon tout à fait publique dans les transes d’un gros accès de colère contre Al-Jezirah. La rencontre s’est tenue le 16 avril, au point culminant du siège de Fallujah, et Al-Jezirah était une des rares sources d’information émettant depuis l’intérieur de la ville. Son reportage exclusif avait été diffusé par toutes les chaînes, depuis CNN jusqu’à la BBC.
L’offensive de Fallujah, l’une des plus sanglantes de l’occupation américaine, a constitué un tournant. En deux semaines de ce mois d’avril, trente Marines ont été tués tandis que des guérillas locales résistaient aux tentatives américaines de s’emparer de la ville. Quelque six cents Irakiens sont morts, des femmes et des enfants pour beaucoup. De l’intérieur de la cité assiégée, les émetteurs d’Al-Jezirah diffusaient des images au monde entier. En direct, la chaîne a donné l’évidence documentaire visible qui invalidait les dénégations des Américains quant au fait qu’ils tuaient des civils. Ce fut un désastre en matière de relations publiques et la réponse des USA a été d’attaquer le porteur de nouvelles.
Quelques jours seulement avant que, à ce qu’il semble, Bush ait proposé de bombarder Al-Jezirah, le correspondant de celle-ci à Fallujah, Ahmed Mansour, s’exprimait en direct. « La nuit dernière, des tanks nous ont pris pour cible par deux fois, mais nous nous en sommes sortis. Les USA nous veulent hors de Fallujah, mais nous y resterons ». Le 9 avril, Washington a posé comme une condition à un cesser-le-feu qu’Al-Jezirah quitte la ville. La chaîne a refusé. Le lendemain, Mansour écrivait que « des bombardiers américains ont tiré autour de notre nouveau site et bombardé la maison où nous avions passé la nuit précédente, causant la mort du propriétaire, M.Hussein Samir. Compte tenu de ces menaces sérieuses, nous avons dû cesser nos émissions durant quelques jours parce que, à chaque fois que nous essayions d’émettre, les bombardiers nous localisaient et nous nous trouvions sous leurs tirs ».
Le 11 avril, le porte-parole de l’armée Mark Kimmit a declaré : “Les stations qui montrent des Américains tuant délibérément des femmes et des enfants ne sont pas des sources d’information légitimes. Ce n’est que propagande et mensonges ». Le 15 avril, Donald Rumsfeld faisait écho à ces remarques dans des termes notoirement peu diplomatiques, qualifiant les reportages d’Al-Jezirah de « vicieux, erronés et inexcusables… Ce que cette station fait est honteux ». Selon le Daily Mirror, c’est le lendemain même que Bush a fait part de son plan à Blair. Selon une source du Mirror « Il a clairement dit qu’il voulait bombarder Al-Jezirah, au Qatar et ailleurs. Il n’y a aucun doute quant à ce que Bush voulait faire – et aucun doute que Blair que voulait pas qu’il le fasse ». Afin que les gens ne pensent pas que les points de vue de gens comme Ralph Peters et les néo-conservateurs de la JINSA ou de la PNAC sont des reliques du passé, rappelons-nous que l’administration Obama compte dans ses rangs de rudes cogneurs de ce monde aussi bien que de farouches partisans des néo-conservateurs. Même si peut-être ils n’appellent plus littéralement à la bagarre, comme ils l’ont fait sous Bush et Cheney, leur influence disproportionnée sur la politique américaine subsiste.
‘JINSA’ article says outlets who oppose future wars should be silenced—killed if necessary—by military strike
By Michael Collins Piper
.ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL voices of the pro-Israel lobby has published a shocking essay suggesting that, in the future, there should be “military attacks” on journalists and media outlets that oppose American military ventures on behalf of Israel. In the spring 2008 issue of its Journal of International Security Affairs, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), a particularly vocal force of the Jewish lobby, published a series of articles devoted to the subject: “The U.S. Military Faces the Future.” One article, entitled “Wishful Thinking and Indecisive Wars,” written by Ralph Peters (described as “a retired U.S. Army officer”) states flatly that “Although it seems unthinkable now, future wars may require censorship, news blackouts and, ultimately, military attacks on the partisan media.” The JINSA essay says “Freedom of the press stops when its abuse kills our soldiers and strengthens our enemies. Such a view arouses disdain today, but a media establishment that has forgotten any sense of sober patriotism may find that it has become tomorrow’s conventional wisdom.” JINSA’s suggestion that the media in America opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq—a key demand by Israel and JINSA—flies in contrast to the truth. In fact, the major media banged the drum for war. AMERICAN FREE PRESS and a few independent newspapers strongly opposed this needless war. So what JINSA is saying is that those independent media voices—such as AMERICAN FREE PRESS—that opposed the drive for war should ultimately face military violence if they oppose the Jewish lobby’s future military aims. One analyst, University of Pennsylvania Prof. Edward Herman, has described JINSA as “organized and [run] by individuals closely tied to the Israeli lobby and can be regarded as a virtual agency of the Israeli government.” JINSA was founded in the mid-1980s by Stephen Bryen. He, along with several of his close associates—including future George W. Bush administration officials Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz and Douglas Feith—was investigated by the FBI on charges of spying for Israel at various times. JINSA has worked to forge alliances between the Jewish lobby and former American military officials, treating them to international junkets and a variety of business and other financial bonanzas provided by Israeli sympathizers in America and around the globe in return for support for their blatantly pro-Israel policies. Peters—whose pro-Israel articles are published regularly in The New York Post, owned by pro-Zionist billionaire Rupert Murdoch—is just one of those whose views on the military appeared in JINSA’s journal. A recurring theme in the essays emphasized the need for the United States to coordinate its international ventures with its “allies,” that is, Israel. The essays underscore the idea that it is vital for the United States to engage in covert action to bring down regimes that stand in the way of Israel’s agenda. Written in “code,” so to speak, the essays carry the theme that Israel’s interests are those of America and vice-versa and that those who oppose Israel are “anti-American,” and that includes American military officers. An essay by one Patrick Poole alleges that the distinguished Strategic Studies Institute at the U.S. Army War College is in the state of “strategic collapse” because it published a study saying that Hamas, the Palestinian faction, has been misunderstood due to mis-reporting by what the War College report says are “Israeli and Western sources that villainize the group.” JINSA’s propagandist claims the War College “is only representative of a larger rot in the U.S. military’s halls of higher learning . . . [that] apparently runs through all levels of our military senior service schools. . . .” The author of these attacks on American military leaders who refuse to pander to the Jewish lobby, Patrick Poole, is a ubiquitous Internet presence, writing pro-Israel screeds for Frontpagemag.com, the website of ex-communist-turned-neoconservative pro-Israel publicist David Horowitz.
Prominent People Fighting the Influence of the Pro-Israel Lobby inAmerica . . .
• Adm. “Fox” Fallon • Former Ambassador Charles Freeman • Former Ambassador Richard Peck • Ex-CIA Officer Michael Scheuer • Ex-CIA Officer Ray McGovern • Academic Dr. John Mearsheimer • Academic Dr. StephenWalt • Former President Jimmy Carter
The record shows that increasing numbers of American military figures, and a host of ex-diplomats, intelligence officers and others are publicly challenging the Jewish lobby. They include Adm. “Fox” Fallon, former ambassadors Charles Freeman and Richard Peck, ex-CIA officers Michael Scheuer and Ray McGovern as well as top academics such as Dr. John Mearsheimer and Dr. Stephen Walt. And former President Jimmy Carter as well. It is thus no surprise that influential Jewish voices, such as Forward, published in Manhattan, complain there is opposition to Israel within higher circles, a point that surprises many Americans who believe Israel has a firm stranglehold on the American intelligence, diplomatic and law enforcement apparatus. On May 11, 2005, Forward reported that Barry Jacobs of the Washington office of the American Jewish Committee said there were high-ranking officials in the U.S. intelligence community who were hostile to Israel and unreceptive to pro-Israel lobbyists. Citing the then-ongoing FBI investigation of espionage by officials of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Forward noted that this top Jewish leader believed, in Forward’s summary, that “the notion that American Jews and Pentagon neo-conservatives conspired to push the United States into war against Iraq, and possibly also against Iran, is pervasive in Washington’s intelligence community.” Although the Justice Department recently dropped its case against the AIPAC duo, the FBI investigators remained confident that their criminal case against the intriguers would have resulted in a conviction. It has been a long-standing concern of JINSA that many in the military are tired of fighting wars for Israel. In the fall of 2006, JINSA’s journal suggested that a full-fledged witch-hunt was in order, designed to root out critics of Israel at high levels, implying that Israel’s critics were allied to “jihadist” fundamentalist Muslims. JINSA asked:
How deeply have jihadist elements infiltrated the U.S. government and federal agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, and various military commands, either through sympathizers or via actual operatives?
Since there are few Muslims in the FBI, Homeland Security, the Department of Defense etc, the suggestion that “jihadist” elements have “infiltrated” our government might seem silly to the average American. But JINSA—determined to enforce Israel’s demands on American foreign policy and military might—is concerned that there are growing numbers in the military, the FBI and the CIA who are opposed to wars for Israel—and this, in JINSA’s view, constitutes collaboration with the dreaded “jihadists.”

US Cybersoldiers Suit Up Omitted from Obama’s speech was any mention of the ongoing employment of ‘hacker soldiers’ by the US military that are engaged in a cyberoffensive against other foreign state and non-state targets. Further missing from mainstream coverage is that this offensive is overwhelmingly privatized and is controlled by the largest of private defense contractors that have typically been in the business of selling to the US government jetfighters and complex missile and satellite systems.
1. Toutes les directives sont d'égale importance, indépendamment de l'ordre dans lequel elles sont énumérées
(Il y a de profonds secrets derrière ces directives, seulement mis à la disposition des membres des Illuminati).
2. L'humanité doit survivre à tout prix
Ce que cela signifie, c'est que toutes les mesures doivent être prises pour assurer cela, et c'est un besoin qui l'emporte sur les droits individuels / droits de la personne.
3. La planète Terre doit être protégée à tout prix.
Idem que ci-dessus.
4. Les plus intelligents et instruits sont supérieurs aux autres doivent se reproduire avec d'autres à tout prix et cela doit être protégé à tout prix.
Au fond, tout ce que cela signifie, c'est que nous cherchons à établir une race humaine hybride, dépourvue de nationalisme et de racisme. Les études montrent que les enfants de races mixtes sont en général plus intelligents et en santé.
5. La logique et la raison doit à tout prix être le fondement de tous les discours et de tout l'enseignement.
Cela signifie que les contes de fées ne doivent plus être enseignés aux enfants ni à quiconque. Une opinion doit être déclarée comme tel et l'idée de fantômes et d'esprits sont des concepts fondés sur l'irrationnel et la stupidité. Il doit y avoir des preuves pour étayer tout ce qui touche à l'éducation et l'enseignement supérieur. La société doit être nettoyée des superstitions, etc.
6. Aucun humain ne peut détenir une position supérieure à moins qu'il ou elle ait obtenu un diplôme en physique et en biologie.
La raison en est que ceux qui sont éduqués dans ces domaines possèdent une meilleure compréhension de la réalité et possèdent donc un esprit avancé/développé. L'éducation engendre l'illumination.
7. La population de la planète doit être ramenée à 3 milliards et et maintenue à ce nombre environ (jusqu'à ce que notre Société soit en place et que tous les noms de famille de nos ennemis soient rayés de la planète).
La raison en est la prospérité, la sécurité et le bien-être non seulement de la société mais de toutes les formes de vie sur notre planète et de notre bien-aimée planète elle-même. La réduction de la population doit être faite par le biais de l'éducation à la nécessité de celle-ci. Bien sûr, il existe d'autres moyens, et Mère-Nature et les maladies nous aideront à cet égard.
8. Tous les humains mâles et femelles doivent être stérilisés dès qu'ils atteignent la puberté, afin de les protéger de naissances prématurées et non désirées.
Contrairement à certaines personnes non-éduquées pensent, les femmes peuvent avoir les bébés même après une ligature, mais pas par hasard, et les hommes peuvent renverser leur stérilisation une fois qu'ils sont matures, instruits et capables de supporter financièrement une famille et d'élever des enfants.
9. Tous les criminels doivent être utilisés pour la productivité de la recherche scientifique et expérimentale. Les criminels doivent être amenés à choisir s'ils veulent travailler sinon dans quelles expériences scientifiques ils sont prêts à participer.
C'est évident.
10. La science et les scientifiques doivent d'être le seul corps directeur de la planète et de l'humanité.
Il en est ainsi pour que ce soit des personnes intelligentes qui composent la classe dominante, et non pas des croyants et des hommes politiques. Ce que nous allons réaliser ainsi, c'est un système de droit et d'ordre, et non pas un jeu d'esprit politique ou religieux.
11. La politique et les politiciens doivent être supprimés à tout prix.
C'est parce que dans une société Objectiviste, il n'y a pas de place pour les politiciens. La société de l'avenir sera dirigée par des gens éclairés, de concert avec la société, qui sera elle aussi éclairée et très instruite.
12. Les agriculteurs pourrons posséder jusqu'à 10000 hectares de terres et ne doivent jamais être imposés tant qu'ils l'utilisent pour leurs exploitations agricoles (jusqu'à ce que tout soit mis en place).
Cela parce qu'ils fournissent l'essentiel de la survie, qui doit être considérée comme une question sacrée. Les agriculteurs ne doivent pas être rabaissés en aucune façon. Ce ne sont pas tous les domaines qui exigent des diplômes en physique et cela ne diminue pas un être humain dans sa globalité.
13. Le génie génétique doit être l'un des domaines les plus soutenu.
Si vous ne comprenez pas cela, il ne vous appartient pas de comprendre.
14. Tous les organismes gouvernementaux doivent être sous le commandement de personnes ayant des diplômes en physique, en biologie et en chimie.
Lire ci-dessus.
15. Toutes les formes de vie inférieures doivent être protégées à tout prix et la recherche scientifique doit prendre cela en considération.
N'appelle pas d'explication.
16. Les humains ne doivent pas être autorisés à consommer tout type de chair. Tuer d'autres formes de vie tout simplement parce que nous en aimons le goût est barbare et ancré dans la sauvagerie.
En outre, la consommation d'autres animaux introduit toutes sortes de bactéries, microbes et maladies dans le corps humain, qui peuvent créent une soupe de virus mortels. Il n'est pas besoin de tuer d'autres animaux, ni pour manger ni pour toute autre raison. La seule exception est lorsque la vie est menacée par un animal, et même alors, des mesures de remplacement devrait être sérieusement envisagée, autrement ce doit être pour sauver une vie humaine.
(Il y a un grand secret dans cette directive, réservé uniquement aux membres des Illuminati).
17. Si un ou des "extra-terrestres" visitent notre planète, ou si nous devions rencontrer une autre humanité étrangère à la nôtre, nous devrons les considérer supérieurs à nous et devrons les protéger et ne jamais leur nuire, sauf s'ils posent pour nous une menace évidente et immédiate.
N'appelle pas d'explication. En outre, si cela arrivait, les probabilités sont telles qu'ils nous seront supérieurs, tant au niveau de la connaissance que de l'évolution.
18. Le nationalisme, la religion et le racisme doivent être éliminés à tout prix.
N'appelle pas d'explication.
19. Tous les types d'humains (nationalités) doivent procréer les uns avec les autres à tout prix.
Cela signifie simplement que lorsque l'on décide d'avoir des enfants, cela devrait être avec des gens d'une autre "race" (faute de meilleur terme). Cela ne signifie pas que tout le monde devrait le faire immédiatement. Seulement si et quand.
20. Toute personne qui s'oppose aux Directives Prioritaires doit être neutralisée à tout prix.
Il s'agit d'une question interne, que seuls contemplent l'Ordre des Illuminati et ses membres.
by Poseidon of takeourworldback.com Daryl B. Smith and Mike Piper talk about shills and disinfo in the 9/11 truth movement.
That pathetic liar and alcoholic Kinky Balloon submitted fraudulent (some were even plagiarised) articles to AFP that were full of lies and errors… Most of them were’nt published because they couldn’t be published. Balloon then cried he was being censored… What a fraud that guy is.
(Piper was a witness of Ballon’s submission of an article (satirical) by The Onion as if it was his own. He witnessed the fact that some of Balloon’s writings were unreadable and full of syntax errors that needed a whole re-writing of the piece. Piper participated in those reconstructions of Ballon’s articles that would have thrown discredit on the AFP had it been published. To hear about such examples of Balloon being a fraud and a liar, for instance his travel to Venezuela - all expenses paid by AFP - and the interview with Chavez that never happened because he prefered to get drunk on the beach… One has to listen to Piper’s archives on RBN from 2006-2007, and even 2008-2009.)
The best source exposing Balloon is takeourworldback. Check the hyperlinks in this paragraph:
“Bollyn’s questionable stories include his misquoting of Mark Loizeaux regarding where the molten steel was found, his misquoting of Arthur Lerner-Lam as to alleged “seismic spikes”, the Sam Danner “Global Hawk” report (which Russell Pickering identified as highly suspect right from day one, the “thermite disguised as batteries” red herring which any demolitionist worth their salt would recognise as nonsense, a satirical article from The Onion submitted as Bollyn’s “original work”, a suspect article that Bollyn tried to get into the Barnes Review, the “Flight 93 was not shot down but landed at Cleveland” theory, the claim that Benjamin Chertoff is a cousin of Michael Chertoff, etc.”
Do you know about the Sam Danner hoax? Because he published that, Bollyn brought much discredit on the AFP. He and his sidekick Hufschitt continued to promote this hoax even after it was proven false from the beggining (Sam Danner admitted he lied, and they were warned by Russell Pickering that the story was bogus)! and then they pretended Sam Danner got run off by government agents, which Sam Danner admitted was untrue.
There are many things you will learn only by listening to Mike Piper’s archives on RBN from 2006-2007, and even 2008-2009. For instance, Piper is one of the sources who say that he was a witness when Bollyn submitted an article to the AFP as if it was his own, whereas in fact it was in fact a satyre by The Onion. sometmies he would submit articles that were not publishable by any standards, filled with orthographical mistakes and super big syntax and logical problems that needed a whole rewriting. Just think about the fact that he was paid by the AFP to travel to Venezuela to interview Chavez yet he prefered to drink on the beach, that tells a lot…
Bollyn also said that the radio debate between himself, Victor Thorn and Mike Piper was arranged as a set up by Homeland Security with the help of Mike Piper! How's that for craziness?? On this occasion, Bolin has attacked Thorn, claiming he was a "crypto-jew"… (that reminds me of prothink and those people who accuse his opponents of being jewish… Whereas Bolin should have taken *a closer look* at his partner Hoffschit before accusing Thorn!)
Also, you’ll find a great investigation of Balloon in Victor Thorn and Lisa Giuliani’s books “Cointelpro” and “Betrayed - Why the 911 Movement Failed”. Fortunately, most of their content is already available on the web at wingtv.net
Most important is the text on Huffschit, since he’s been Kinkster Balloon’s partner for a long time:
Eric Hufschmid - Zionist Disinfo Agent Provocateur Zionist shills exposed. It is now self-evident that Eric Hufschmid and Christopher Bollyn are part of an operation to divide, stifle and control the 9/11 truth movement.
By the way, Bollyn's version of what happened in 2006 - his beating and all that ensued - was that Piper and Carto and Thorn conspired with the ADL to get him!
Bollyn and Hufschmid were behind the campaign to destroy the credibility of Carto and Lane. So I would tend to believe that Carto and Lane are on the good side, even more so if they are bashed by Bollyn and Hufschmid...
Hufschmid was saying that AFP is infiltrated and run by Zionists. Bollyn wouldn't condemn this bogus claim by his sidekick and woudn't distanciate himself from this little liar. Even when Michael Collins Piper roared very vehemently, “Eric Hufschmid is a liar. I repeat, Eric Hufschmid is a liar,” Bollyn wouldn’t denounce this cretin.
It's like a mantra...
Bollyn: "Scott Makufka, I must say you sound more and more like an Israeli every time. What are you putting down, pre-conditions? I’m not going to denounce anybody. We’re not … Eric Hufschmid is not the subject of this discussion. And Eric Hufschmid is an excellent 9-11 researcher and he’s got a very logical mind and a good sense of humor."
Bollyn : "I just got done saying, I think Eric Hufschmid is a very good researcher, he’s got the best book on 9-11, Painful Questions, the best book on the subject … and that’s it."
Piper had the occasion to look at Bollyn’s dark side very closely back then in 2005-2006, because they both worked for the American Free Press, that Bollyn claimed was conspiring to fire him (bollyn wouldn’t condemn the ridiculous assertion made by Hufschmid that AFP was under the control of the Zionists). Bollyn’s version of what happened in 2006 was that Piper and Carto and Thorn conspired with the ADL to get him! Did you know that Bollyn and his wife Helje Brand-Kaskel http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1742924 (both names are j-wish!) showed Mike some naked pictures of her when they were invited at his home? did you know that Bollyn has a “Khazar associate” tied to the Church of Scientology? that he was working on an edition of a book on pharmaceutical drugs written by a woman heavily involved in Scientology? (Mike Piper showed in his book The Judas Goats, that the Church of Scientology was overtaken by j-wish lawyers at the death of L.Ron Hubbard, so that now it has become a proxy of the mossad, for instance : the church has been working heavily with the ADL to sabotage the IHR!) Piper once reporter the resultat of a private investigator following Bollyn in order to know for whom he was working for really. The resulat was this: HIGH DANGER, the man is protected at the highest level, VERY DANGEROUS TO FURTHER THE INVESTIGATION!!!
Bollyn and his family are supposed to live in Estonia. If the j-ws were after him, they could extradite him. Bollyn was even interviewed by estonian television! He visited Germany in the last few years, he even posted some pictures of himself and his family in Germany, in front of great statues. This is a clear sign that he is free to travel in Germany. Real ennemies of the j-ws are scared to death of traveling in Germany. Strangely, Bollyn wrote an article about German revisionist Manfred Roeder, that was published in The Barnes Review and that didn’t stop him from visiting Germany!. The whole Bollyn family was interviewed on estonian tv… That’s odd for a so-called “fugitive”…
He visited Germany in the last few years, he even posted some pictures of himself and his family in Germany. This is a clear signal that he is free to travel in Germany. Real ennemies of the Jews are scared to death of traveling in Germany.
For these reasons and many others, Mike Piper thinks Bollyn’s *protected*. Because of his ties to the Anglican Church(!), Piper thinks it’s possible that he’s an Anglican Church operative(?) It is known that he also has contacts with the Church of *Sin-tology* (!!). Piper won’t identify the church by its name on the air, in order to avoid lawsuits. The Scientology lady for whom he was editing a book is Ann Black Tracy PhD. He was being paid by the Church of *Sin*tology through this lady. They took him on their charge after he was shown the door at AFP. Piper wonders if he may have worked for them from the begginning.
Recently, Mike Piper said on his program that he had a talk today with AFP’s accountants who presented him the proof that Kink Balloon himself made them (AFP) pay for an internet connection bill JUST LAST MONTH! He’s not been working for AFP since at least three years! If it’s true, and I believe it is, Balloon would have done another illegal act: he’s stolen from AFP (again, like he did when he was in on a trip to interview Chavez but prefered to get drunk on the beach…). An email was sent to Baloon to ask for him to pay his own bill. AFP said they will pay for the bills, but that they will not pay for any other bill, and if it happens again they will have to file a lawsuit. For now, they only warned Bollyn by email that AFP will pay for the bills, but that no further bills will be paid, otherwise they will have to start a lawsuit. So, for now, no lawsuit.
Promoting Huffschit but not Mike Piper is a certain proof of mental defect, imo. But hey! people make mistakes!
But what’s funny is why prothink still supports Hoffschit even though his Kinky Balloon believes that he *bears all the signs of an intelligent plant*! (you can read this on Hoffschit’s website)
One thing I do not like prothink, is that you promote the website of that imbecile and *saboteur* Jim Ennis, who’s accusing the folks at The Liberty Hour (survivor Phil Tourney and co-host Mark Glenn) of being antisemitic and thus trying to marginalise them (instead of teaming up with them). why don’t you promote The Liberty Hour, Phil Tourney instead?
This is very important info that couldn't possibily be discarded! I mean: The Al-Qaida manual was found in the car of Ahmad Ajaj, a double-agent of the Mossad, working with Yousef! Why do you never talk about Michael Collins Piper's outstanding work? And why the hell do you support that Rosemary's Baby agent provocateur Hufschmid?
On this broadcastMichael Collins Piper addressed what he called "The Hufschmid Conundum the puzzle surrounding the bizarre attacks by Eric Hufschmid on many longtime anti-Zionist writers and activists including Piper himself (and his colleagues at American Free Press and The Spotlight) as well as individuals such as Mark Glenn, Mark Farrell, David Duke and many, many others too numerous to mention. Hufschmid. Piper quoted a letter writer who said that Eric spends most of his time making false allegations against many good people. he seldom has any proofyet he boldly releases his ideas or opinions as factand directly attacks 'the mark' of the day. Eric is always assuming his mark as guilty until proven innocent." Piper noted that although Hufschmid is constantly attacking people as "Zionists" or as "Zionist agents Hufschmid himself had little, if anything, to say about the obvious role of Israel and its intelligence agency, the Mossad, in his own book and video about 9-11. Piper noted that Hufschmid literally received millions of dollars in free publicity regarding his (Hufschmid's) book on the Penn and Teller" broadcast which is a product of the Zionist-controlled "Showtime" network. Piper noted that few REAL anti-Zionists ever receive that kind of publicity and suggested that perhaps the actual intent of Penn & Teller's "attack" on Hufschmid was to redirect people to a source on 9-11 that does NOT emphase Israeli complicity in the attack. Piper noted the parallel theme in a recent essay by Sen. John McCain of Arizonapublished in the September issue of POPULAR MECHANICS which suggests that critics of the U.S. government's 9-11 thesis are putting the blame on "America" for the attack; in shortMcCain was simply not mentioning the well-known fact that many (if not most) critics of the U.S. government lies about 9-11 contend --as American Free Press journalist Christopher Bollyn has contended from the beginning-- that Israel and its Mossad was the prime mover behind 9-11. So McCain and Hufschmid have essentially taken the same approach. Although Hufschmid talks on his website about an Israeli connectionit is Hufschmid's book which has been given the widespread international publicity. Thissaid Piperconstitutes a classic "limited hangout"---that isgiving "some" of the storybut not "all" of it. That isHufschmid falls to emphasize the strong evidence connecting Israel to the attack. In the meantimewhile pretending to be a supporter of American Free Press journalist Christopher Bollyn --Piper's longtime friend and colleague-- Hufschmid has been trying to drive a wedge between Bollyn and Piper (and between Bollyn and his own employerAmerican Free Press) by telling worldwide audiences via internet broadcasts and on his lie-packed website that American Free Press has NOT been publishing Bollyn's work and trying to suppress it. Piper previously demonstrated to his audience that American Free Press had indeed published the articles by Bollyn that Hufschmid falsely claimed had never been publishedand the one article that was not immediately published (because it arrived too late) was later reworked into other material by Bollyn published by American Free Press. Unfortunatelymany people who don't read either the published version of "AFP" or its complete on-line subscription versionhave been believing Hufschmid's lies about Bollyn and AFP and about many other things. Most of these people also believe Hufschmid's bizarre and outlandish claim that Piperis a Zionistdespite the fact that Piper has devoted 26 years of his 46 years to writing and speaking about the dangers of Zionismin such books as FINAL JUDGMENTdetailing the Mossad link to the JFK assassination conspiracy (over JFK's efforts to stop israel from building nuclear weapons)THE HIGH PRIESTS OF WARexposing the secret history of the Zionist neo-conservatives and their drive for war against Iraq and Iran and Syria and the rest of the Muslim worldTHE NEW JERUSALEM: ZIONIST POWER IN AMERICAwhich outlines the amazing power of Zionism in Americaand BEST WITNESSwhich tells the story of Mel Mermelstein's efforts to break the back of the Holocaust Revisionist movement--an effort which failed and failed badly. In addition Piper notedAFP (and The SPOTLIGHT before it) have published literally hundreds --maybe a thousand?-- of articles by Christopher Bollyn focusing on the intrigues of Israel and the Zionist movementprovingbeyond any questionthat Hufschmid is lying when he says that AFP is trying to suppress either the works of Bollyn-- whom Piper has always called "the best journalist in Americabar none"-- or discussion of the subject of Zionism. Piper believes that "The Hufschmid Conundrum" can be explained by the factas Hufschmid himself admitted in an article on his websitethat Hufschmid's half-sister is married to the son of Zionist billionaire Rupert Murdoch. This was early on and Hufschmid actually suggested that Murdoch himiself may have been aware of Hufschmid's work. IncrediblythoughHufschmid makes the lame suggestion that Murdoch ---one of the most powerful Zionists on the face of the planet--- may be one of the "good" guys (of all things). Hufschmid even said that he knew little about Murdoch until Murdoch's publicationTHE WEEKLY STANDARDedited by Zionist neo-conservative William Kristol (exposed thoroughly in Piper's book THE HIGH PRIESTS OF WAR) had requested a copy of Hufschmid's book. Hufschmid's bizarre "explanation" of the "connection" between himself and Murdochin Piper's estimationwas simply a clever concoction by Hufschmid to explain away his Murdoch connection in a blizzard of words in order to cover up the fact that he (Hufschmid) was actually being promoted by the Murdoch empire in order to maintain a handle on "the controlled opposition" surrounding speculation regarding the 9-11 terrorist attacksfocusing attention on a book that talked about the forensics of the 9-11 attacks but keeping the lid on the Zionist connection to that tragic event. Piper suggested that Hufschmid certainly knew that once his name came into the fore that people would (quite correctly) start researching into the name "Hufschmid" and ultimately discover the Hufschmid-Murdoch connection and that this was Hufschmid's way of laying it on the table in a relatively confusing way that would convince some gullible people that Hufschmid was a "real" truth seeker. But Hufschmid himself actually raised the question as to whether he himself was being used in some "psy-ops" by the Murdoch empire and the Zionist network. Piper commented that this was a classic Mossad tactic: "hiding in plain sight." In other wordsHufschmid put the Murdoch connection out there so that if anyone ever questioned him on it--as people are now doing and rightly so-- he could sayOh I never kept it a secret.Piper also noted the interesting fact that Hufschmid's attack on Piper and American Free Press and the campaign to split off AFP's star reporter Christopher Bollyn from AFP and thereby deprive AFP of Bollyn's reportagecame precisely at the time when AFP was about to launch its international conference on Labor Day weekend featuring a historic seminar on the Lies of 9-11with Bollyn as well as famed 9-11 hero and World Trade Center survivorWilliam Rodriguezand Ellen Marianiwidow of 9-11 victim Neal Mariani. What better wayPiper askedthan to disrupt a major event to be attended by some 300 people including some from around the world? Piper also noted that some time ago Hufschmid had also been privy to Piper's then-manuscriptentitled THE JUDAS GOATSwhich features an entire chapter devoted to the subject of how Rupert Murdoch and his media empire (including Fox News) had been set up by the billionaire Zionist families RothschildOppenheimer and Bronfman to provide a "controlled" so-called "conservative alternative"--that is a classic "controlled opposition"-- to the Zionist-dominated "liberal" networks such as ABCCBSand NBC. Hufschmid knew that this would be the first time that the nationalist-patriot movement would see the ENTIRE Murdoch story outlined in the context of a detailed book describing how the Zionist movement had worked for years to infiltrate and destroy the nationalist movement in Americathat many thousands of people would read about Murdochin detailfor the first time and learn the truth of "who" is really behind this media empire (with which Hufschmid is intimately connected): his half-sister is an heirby marriageto billions of Zionist money. Hufschmidthuswas rightly concerned that as more and more people learned about Murdoch that they would start doing their own research and discovering the Hufschmid connection. Clearlysays PiperHufschmid NEEDED to discredit Piper and American Free Press and damage their relationship with Christopher Bollyn. Piper pointed out that he had been writing about Murdoch for many yearsgoing back to the early 1980s when he wrote about Murdoch in The SPOTLIGHT newspaperutilizing "inside" data about Murdoch from one of Murdoch's Australian associatesinternational businessman and prominent Catholic laymanHenry Fischerlong known for his close ties to the traditionalist Catholic movement and for his intimate connections to anti-Zionist elements inside the Vatican and the Catholic Church worldwide. Fischer is even mentionedPiper notedin several books by mainstream authors about Murdoch. But Fischer's "inside" information on Murdoch's Rothschild-Oppenheimer-Bronfman connectionmaking him part of the "Billionaire Gang of Four is never mentioned. All of this taken together explains the truth about The Hufschmid Conundrum." Piper urged people to provide financial support directly to Christopher Bollyn in assisting Bollyn in his legal case against the police state thugs who attacked him and hit him with a life-threatening taser gun in his own front yard in Hoffman EstatesIllinois.
On tonight's broadcastMichael Collins Piper noted that the infamous Anti-Defamation League (ADL) of B'nai B'rithan unregistered foreign lobby for the state of Israelhad issued a new attack on the American Free Press newspaper and its chief 9-11 correspondentChristopher Bollyn. The ADL was taking issue with Bollyn's articles in American Free Press which have long provided solid evidence of the role of Israel's intelligence servicethe Mossadin the 9-11 terrorist attacks. Previouslythe ADL had issued a similar attack on both Bollyn and Piperalong with others who dared to raise questions about the "official" U.S. government version of the attacks. Bollyn and Piper have both consistently assertedbased on the evidencethat the Mossad was a prime mover behind the attacks. Now there have been determined efforts to drive a wedge between Bollyn and AFPhis longtime employer: clearly a deliberate attempt to put an end to Bollyn's substantial outreach through the pages of the naitonal weekly newspaper. A major player in this attempt to disrupt Bollyn's association with his sponsorAmerican Free Presshas been a figure named Eric Hufschmid, whom Michael Collins Piper says is now "fishbait." Piper noted that Hufschmid's attacks on many good solid people in the 9-11 truth movement and in the American patriot-nationalist movement sound very much like the infamous ADL-FBI COINTELPRO operation known as "Deguello" a mysteriousanonymously-written document that was distributed in the 1960scasting doubt and aspersions on leading figures in the nationalist movement. HowevertodayHufschmid's Internet-based operation is a modern-day Deguello with even greater outreach and even more potentially dangerous and devasting. Piper noted that this modern-day Deguello operation being run by Hufschmid has already caused problems for American Free Press in its efforts to raise money for Christopher Bollyn's legal defense against trumped-up charges levelled against him after corrupt cops probably working in conjunction with Homeland Security according to research by Bollyn, attacked Bollyn in the front yard of his home in Hoffman EstatesIllinois. Because Hufschmid---rather "Fishbait"-- is attacking Bollyn's publisher and accusing the newspaper and its employees of being "Zionists" or "Zionist controlled many people are fearful of making contributions, even checks made out directly to Christopher Bollyn." The behavior of Fishbait is clearly that of a Deguello-style operation right out of the pages of COINTELPROthe infamous FBI infiltration and evisceration scheme designed to undercut American dissident groups. AppropriatelyMichael Collins Piper's newly-released book THE JUDAS GOATS has quite a detailed history of such operations. (The book is available from American Free Press at americanfreepress.net).
On tonight's broadcastMichael Collins Piper was joined by veteran California nationalist Joe Fields and author Mark Glenn (whose website can be found at crescentandcross.com) to discuss the outrageous and abusive exploitation of veteran American populist historian Eustace Mullinswho is 85 years oldby Daryl Bradford Smith and his partner-in-crimeEric Hufschmidnow widely referred to as Eric "Fishbait." Glenn expressed the opinion that Smith and Hufschmid are simply troubled individuals who relish causing trouble. Fields noted that over the years that he has been involved in the nationalist movementmore often than not those people who accused others -- as Smith and "Fishbait" do -- of being "Zionist agents" are actually Zionist agents themselves. Fishbait and Smith have attacked a variety of longtime anti-Zionist activists such as Mark Farrell of Honestmediatoday.com as well as the aforementioned Glenn and even famed Louisiana political figure David Duke (see Davidduke.com)---among manymany others. Piper noted that in his own considerable experience --more than 25 years-- in the nationalist movement as a widely-read writer of news articles and now several fairly well-distributed booksthat when he (Piper) encountered the Anti-Defamation League's longtime undercover informantRoy Bullockthat Bullock often pointed at other people and suggested that they might be "ADL agents when, in fact, it was Bullock who was the agent. (Piper has written about his experiences with Bullock in his new book THE JUDAS GOATS which actually addresses factual case histories of how Zionist agents have infiltrated the American nationalist movement from within. The book is available at americanfreepress.net.) Piper noted that before coming on the air, he (Piper) had a long friendly chat with Eustace Mullins who said that he felt he had been used" by Smith whoMullins saiddid all the talkingand "put words in my mouth." In factMullins was a recent speaker at a conference in Washington hosted by American Free Pressthe newspaper that utilizes Piper as a free-lance correspondent and Mullins wasas could be expectedvery well received by the audience. In recent years --until troublemakers attempted to undermine Mullins and grabbed control of much of his property-- American Free Press was one of the most consistent and regular promoters of Mullins' books such as THE SECRETS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE and THE WORLD ORDERamong others. Nowjust as "Fishbait" and Bradford Smith sought to drive a wedge between American Free Press and its correspondent Christopher Bollynthey sought to drive a wedge between the populist newspaper and historian Mullins. Althoughas Joe Fields notedthere are many people who say that "Fishbait" and Smith need to be ignored and isolatedhe still agrees with Piper that these troublemakers (who act in the style of Zionist disinformation agents) need to be confronted. Piper noted that althoughover the yearshe has seen many squabbles between patriots over money and power and substance and stylethe Fishbait-Smith phenomenon appears to be the development of a bizarre cult-like group that does the bidding of Fishbait and Smithsending out malicious e-mails and spreading lies over the Internet. ThisPiper pointed outrecalls the old-fashioned Deguello operation of the FBI's COINTELPRO program of the 1960s wherein solid truth was mixed with liesrumors and disinformation in order to undermine American nationalist organizationssimilar to the way Fishbait and Smith have tried to tear Christopher Bollyn away from American Free Pressthe one newspaper that has consistently promoted Bollyn as what Piper has described as being "the best journalist in America bar none." The Fishbait-Smith Deguello routinealthough largely grounded in what appears to be borderline schizophrenic fantasyis nonetheless dangerousparticularly in the sense that it has worked to undermine the work of Christopher Bollyn. And as many people knowBollyn was recently assaulted in his own front yard in Hoffman EstatesIllinois by heavily-armed police officers in circumstances that Bollyn believesbased on his own inquiriessuggest that Bollyn was a target of Zionist elements in the office of Homeland Securityrun by devout pro-Israel Jewish figure Michael Chertoffthe son of a rabbiand whose own wife is a former figure in the ADL. "Fishbait" and Smith have actually suggested that Bollyn's own friend and colleague from AFPMichael Collins Piperwas actually involved in a "plot" with Homeland Security and the ADL to stage the attack on Bollyn -- a bizarre claim to be surebut one which some naive cult followers of the two troublemakers have actually come to believe and which they have circulated widely on the Internet! "Fishbait" and Smith even worked against famed civil libertarian and anti-Zionist attorney Mark Laneattacking the longtime associte of Piper and American Free Press (and of Liberty Lobby before that)smearing Lane so as to disinterest him in taking up Bollyn's legal case against the police in Hoffman EstatesIllinois. This alone demonstrates the divisive operations of the Hufschmid-Smith wrecking crew. The detailstaken togethernot only raise serious questions about the intentions and motivations of "Fishbait" and Smith but also answer the questions as well: These two are trouble. They need to be ignored. They need to be isolated. Andas Piper saidThey need to be chopped up and made into fishbait and fed to the sharks, which are much more lovely creatures than either Hufschmid or Smith.

Bollyn: le gars est financé et protégé dans les hauts échelons, ce qui fait qu'il peut se promener en Allemagne et s'y faire photographier sans problème, tout comme il peut passer à la télé estonienne... Lié à la CIA, à l'Église anglicane, et à la scientologie via une dame pour qui il a édité un livre (faut bien vivre de quelque chose!). Il dit même que Hufschmid "porte tous les signes d'un opérateur des services de renseignement"... Faut le faire! Lui qui voulait pas condamner les opinions de Hufschmid lorsque celui-ci disait que l'American Free Press (alors employeur de Bollyn) était "infiltré et contrôlé par les sionistes"!
Hufschmid: T'as vu ses pages sur le front de certains juif qui ressemblerait au profil des néanderthaliens? Sans commentaires... Hufschmid fait souvent des comparaisons douteuses, sexuelles... avec des enfants en plus... le gars est complètement malade mais très intelligent, en fait il sait bien ce qu'il fait.
Il y aurait énormément à dire au sujet de Hufschmid-Bollyn et dans une moindre mesure de leur ancien coéquipier Daryl Bradford Smith.
Le duo Hufschmid et Bollyn excellait dans la diffamation de chercheurs fiables! autre indice qu'ils font partie d'une opération de désinfo. C'est pourquoi Mike Piper les appelle la "Deguello gang". Le Deguello Report était un document de pure désinfo visant à semer la discorde dans le mouvement patriote américain. (Mieux: Hufschmid faisait même la promotion de ce document!)
Voici une liste de gens que Hufschmid accuse d'être des agents sionistes!

Il y en a plus encore car cette liste date d'il y a deux ans....
Hufschmid a peut-être raison en ce qui concerne 3 ou 4 individus dans cette liste, mais globalement, c'est du pur délire de considérer que tous ces chercheurs sont des agents sionistes.
Là où Hufschmid a vraiment fait mal c'est quand il a accusé Mark Lane et Willis Carto d'être des agents. Mark Lane est un avocat juif mais c'est aussi celui qui a pondu le premier livre (1964) démontrant hors de tout doute raisonnable que la CIA est responsable ou impliquée dans l'assassinat de JFK. C'est un grand ami de Mike Piper.
Willis Carto est aussi un grand ami de Mike Piper. Il a fait publier des milliers d'ouvrages à l'époque où il dirigeait l'Institute for Historical Review et Liberty Lobby. Aujourd'hui l'agent saboteur Mark Weber (le Von Stauffenberg de l'IHR ) a tout vendu ce stock de livres (valeur de 3 millions$) pour des cacahuètes... Aujourd'hui , Carto dirige l'American Free Press et The Barnes Review, deux excellentes sources. Mais il faut dire que les meilleurs auteurs de AFP sont Mark Glenn et Mike Piper, sans oublier Jim Tucker. Hufschmid s'est organisé pour que son coéquipier Daryl Smith fasse dire à Eustace Mullins que Willis Carto était "suspect", etc. Eustace a été embobiné et il juge aujourd'hui avoir été utilisé par Smith-Hufschmid pour détruire la réputation de Carto.
Bref, Willis Carto est un brave type, un éditeur de matériel révisionniste, mais il est victime depuis longtemps d'une campagne de sabotage et diffamation par l'ennemi traditionnel...
Victor Thorn, l'auteur du "Procès du 11 septembre" (traduit en français aux éditions Demi-Lune), a publié plein de livres sur le 11 septembre. Bollyn aucun. Thorn a publié 911 Evil, le premier livre à exposer la responsabilité du mossad et des sionistes dans le 11 septembre. Bollyn n'a jamais rien publié en dehors d'Internet.
Lorsque Hufschmid s'est mis à raconter des salades concernant la supposée infiltration sioniste de l'AFP, Bollyn n'a jamais voulu condamner ses propos, répétant incessamment que Hufschmid a écrit le meilleur livre sur le sujet et qu'il ne veut pas parler contre lui et que de toute façon c'est hors sujet... Mantra qu'il répétera allègrement...
Pire que ça, Bollyn a accusé Victor Thorn d'être un "crypto-Juif" (une très vieille accusation typique des désinformateurs). Il a même déclaré que son débat contre Vitctor Thorn sur les ondes de l,émission de Mike Piper avait été orchestrée par - tenez vous bien - la Homeland Security (sécurité intérieure) avec l'aide de Mike Piper!
"Mentez, mentez, il en restera toujours quelque chose..."
Quelques fausses nouvelles que Bollyn a rapportées comme si elles étaient vraies.
- Sam Danner disait avoir vu un Global Hawk s'enfoncer dans le Pentagone, mais la nouvelle était fausse. C'est Hufschmid qui a rapporté cet item à Bollyn qui s'est chargé de retransmettre dans les pages de l'AFP (salissant ainsi la réputation du respecté journal). Danner a admis avoir menti, Russell Pickering avait averti Boll-schmid dès le début que cette histoire était fausse. Même lorsqu'elle a été admise par tous comme étant fausse, Hufschmid a continué à rapporter la fausse nouvelle.... Hufschmid et Bollyn ont même continué à rapporter que Sam Danner s'était fait frapper par une voiture conduite par des agents du gouvernement, bien après que Danner ait admis que c'était faux. -Bollyn a mal cité Mark Loiseaux au sujet de où ont été trouvées les flaques de métal en fusion au WTC. Il s'est trompé d'endroit... http://groups.google.com/group/alt.alien.visitors/msg/dfef90067070254e?dmode=source -il a mal cité Arthur Lerner-Lam au sujet des pics sismiques http://www.takeourworldback.com/short/hufschmid.htm#palisades - Bollyn a soumis un article satirique de The Onion comme si c'était le sien! (tentative de plagiat, évitée de justesse par AFP) - La théorie que Mike Chertoff de la Homeland Security serait le cousin de Ben Chertoff qui a écrit un article pour discréditer le mouvement de vérité du 911 dans la revue Popular Mechanics. Ce n'était tout simplement pas vrai... http://www.911myths.com/html/benjamin_chertoff.html - Bolyn n'a jamais parlé de la connexion très significative entre Ahmad Ajaj, agent double du mossad dont la voiture contenait le manuel d'instruction d'al-Qaida, et Ramsi Yousef. Piper en a parlé ici. Bollyn n'a jamais dit non plus dans son article sur le procureur juif sioniste Mike Mukasey (ami de Rudy Giuliani) que c'est justement lui qui a jugé les terroristes de l'attentat à la bombe de 1993 (par Ramsi Yousef).

‘Shylock’ hath seen final days in Florida law
WASHINGTON (JTA) -- The Florida Senate unanimously passed legislation eliminating the term "shylock" from state law.
The words "shylock" and "shylocking" are in the text of Florida statutes dealing with loan sharks. Shylock was the Jewish moneylender in William Shakespeare's 16th-century play "The Merchant of Venice" who demanded a pound of flesh as repayment from a debtor.
State Sen. Eleanor Sobel, a Jewish Democrat who represents a district that includes Fort Lauderdale [north of Miami], said she proposed the bill to fix "the mistake that has been left by history," according to media reports. A similar bill is working its way through the Florida House of Representatives.

Curtain falls on 'shylock'
The Florida Senate unanimously approved Hollywood Sen. Eleanor Sobel's bill to strike the words "shylock" and "shylocking" from the state's criminal usury statutes. The word derives from Shakespeare's Shylock, the villain in The Merchant of Venice who tried to draw a "pound of flesh" for a loan.
The bill "fixes a mistake that has been left by history," Sobel said. The bill should reach the House floor soon.

"Shylocking" Removed From Florida Statutes
TALLAHASSEE – Governor Charlie Crist today signed Senate Bill 813, removing the terms "shylock" and "shylocking" from Florida's laws about unlawful moneylending. The terms were introduced into Florida statutes during the 1969 legislative session.
"Today I am proud to sign legislation that honors Florida's Jewish community by removing harmful language from Florida's criminal moneylending laws," Governor Crist said. "Harmful terms that communicate hate have no place in our society – and especially not in our laws – and the removal of this language is long overdue."
Prepared By: The Professional Staff of the Banking and Insurance Committee BILL: SB 318 INTRODUCER: Senator Sobel SUBJECT: Shylocking/Loan Sharking DATE: January 23, 2009
I. Summary:
This bill removes the terms “shylock” and “shylocking” from Florida’s criminal usury/loan sharking statute under ss. 687.071 and 772.102 F.S. Additionally, this bill removes from s. 687.071 F.S., the phrase “shall be guilty of” and replaces it with the term “commits” in order to conform to language used in other areas of Florida’s criminal statutes. The removal of this language will have no substantive impact on Florida law, nor will it have a fiscal impact to the state.
This bill amends the following sections of the Florida Statutes: 687.071 and 772.102.
II. Present Situation:
Section 687.071, F.S., is entitled “Criminal usury, loan sharking; shylocking.” This provision defines the terms “shylock” and “shylocking” to be synonymous with the terms “loan shark” and “loan sharking” respectively. Section 687.071, F.S., includes four mentions of either “shylock” or “shylocking.” In each case, the terms are used in conjunction with either the term “loan shark” or “loan sharking.”
Because the terms “shylock” and “loan shark” are defined as synonyms in the definitions section, the use of both terms is repetitious and unnecessary.
The history of the term “shylock” dates back to the late 1500’s when William Shakespeare wrote one of his most renowned plays, The Merchant of Venice. In this play, Shakespeare introduced a character named Shylock, a relentless loan shark who’s widely remembered for demanding that his debtor pay him with a pound of flesh taken from the debtor’s body. In addition to portraying the character as a usurer, Shakespeare’s Shylock was also Jewish. Use of this term may reinforce longstanding anti-Semitic stereotypes.

Archbishop Wilson said Friday that Catholics must be respectful and sensitive towards Jews.
"My sense about this is, we have to be especially careful about the way that we talk about the Jewish people because of the way that they've been persecuted and treated for over a thousand years, and especially during the Holocaust in World War II," he said.
Washington — Leaks of wiretap transcripts involving a member of Congress and a “suspected Israeli agent” have shone a rare light on the scope of suspicion the American intelligence establishment harbors toward Israel and its supporters.

Harman: Was her talk with an ‘Israeli agent’ kosher?
Investigators wiretapping the alleged Israeli agent were so concerned about remarks by Democratic Rep. Jane Harman of California during his conversation with her that the investigators subsequently sought a so-called FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrant — reserved for sensitive intelligence cases — to wiretap Harman, as well, according to a detailed story published April 19 by Congressional Quarterly. But then-attorney general Alberto Gonzales, the article claims, halted the investigation because he thought he would need Harman’s support in an upcoming clash over the administration’s warrantless wiretapping program, about to be exposed by The New York Times.
According to the CQ story, Harman allegedly promised the Israeli agent to back off espionage-related charges against two former officials of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the Washington pro-Israel lobby. In exchange, her conversation partner is said to have promised he would lobby congressional leaders for Harman to become chairwoman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Harman has angrily denied that she made any such deal, and requested the administration to fully declassify the wiretapped conversations in question. Gonzales, meanwhile, has declined to comment so far.
But for close observers of the national security establishment, the real news was the extent of its suspicions of American Jewish supporters of Israel — up to and including its willingness to wiretap a member of Congress.
“It’s rooted deep in the system,” an official with an American Jewish organization said, “and it comes from the bottom up.”

Security Concerns: Wiretapped conversation focused on charges against former AIPAC official Steve Rosen.
The leaked transcripts hint, among other things, at the security establishment’s continued search for an Israeli mole that some reportedly believe remained uncaught after Jonathan Pollard, an American Jewish civilian naval intelligence analyst, was discovered engaged in massive espionage for Israel in 1985. More generally, the wiretap reflects the security establishment’s continuing concern about leaks of classified information to pro-Israel activists and Israeli agents who have shown themselves adept at obtaining nonpublic information from the government.
“We know that we are closely watched, that people might be listening to our phone calls. This is our working premise,” said a former senior Israeli official who was based in Washington in recent years. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue, said he believed that suspicion toward Israel was prevalent in the military and intelligence establishments but was not common at the political and diplomatic levels.
The disclosure of the Harman wiretaps comes at a time when the government’s most elaborate attempt to crack down on alleged wrongdoings by pro-Israel activists is at a crossroads. The prosecution of two former AIPAC lobbyists, which began more than four years ago and is scheduled to go to trial June 2, is under review and, according to press reports, might be dropped altogether. The conversations involving Harman focused on attempts to put an end to the legal proceedings against the two former AIPAC staffers, Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman.
Although no formal explanation was provided from the National Security Agency for eavesdropping on the Harman conversation, it is widely believed that the wiretap was part of the investigation into the AIPAC case.
According to court records, wiretaps and surveillance in the Rosen-Weissman case began as early as 1999. From the indictment, which is now being reviewed by the attorney general’s office, it is clear that attempts to stop the flow of information to pro-Israel activists led to a wide- ranging counterintelligence operation in which Israeli diplomats and pro-Israel lobbyists were being followed and their conversations monitored. These conversations involved senior government officials who had been in touch with the subjects of the investigation. The U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Virginia reviewed transcripts of these wiretaps in lengthy pretrial proceedings, and parts of them are expected to be presented if the case reaches trial.
Stephen Green, a Vermont-based writer who has chronicled the counterintelligence spats between the United States and Israel since the late 1970s, said the mistrust toward Israel stems from agents working on the cases and not from an overall anti-Israel ideology. “This has nothing to do with politics or with Israeli foreign policy. These are people who deal with these issues on a daily basis and become very, very upset,” Green said.
Green, who, through the Freedom of Information Act, has obtained documents chronicling decades of security investigations of government officials suspected of leaking restricted information to Israel, was questioned by the FBI about his research during the investigation of the Rosen-Weissman case.
Suspicion toward pro-Israel Americans predates the Pollard espionage affair. In 1979, the FBI looked into allegations that Stephen Bryen, then a staff member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, passed on information to Israeli officials. The search for Israeli spies, which at times focused on the notion of an Israeli network led by a master spy code-named “Mega,” intensified after the 1985 arrest of Jonathan Pollard.
The investigation, as it turned out, never ended, and as recently as April 2008 it resurfaced with the arrest of Ben-Ami Kadish, a former army engineer from New Jersey who passed on classified information to the same Israeli handler that was in charge of Pollard. Kadish, now 85, pleaded guilty last December as part of a plea agreement and is awaiting his May sentencing.
Echoes of the defense establishment’s concerns over American Jews’ loyalty to Israel were apparent, too, in a 1996 memo sent out by the Pentagon to defense contractors, warning them that Jewish employees with “strong ethnic ties” to Israel could be exploited by the Israelis to gather classified information. The memo was later retracted after Jewish groups protested its content.
The issue, however, is still being raised when discussing security clearance for American Jews who have ties with Israel. Arlington, Va.-based attorney Sheldon Cohen, who represents many cases of workers denied security clearances, has found a disproportionate presence of Jews among this group. The usual reason given is concern about their alleged ties with Israel.
Recently, Cohen authored an article dealing with a question posed to Jews applying for defense clearance: “Would you bear arms for the United States against Israel?” This hypothetical question is not presented, according to Cohen, to any other ethnic or religious group. “The one thing common to all the applicants to whom this question is put is their Jewish heritage,” he wrote.
Quite aside from the wonderful irony of Jane Harman’s transformation from prominent Democratic defender of the Bush administration’s warrantless wiretapping into a civil libertarian par excellence – which has been definitively celebrated by Glenn Greenwald over at Salon – the story of how this leading "national security Democrat" sold out her nation’s security on behalf of a foreign power underscores the all-pervasive and corrupting influence of Israel’s lobby in the U.S. Harman was caught on tape with a "suspected Israeli agent," according to Congressional Quarterly, agreeing to intervene with the U.S. Justice Department and the White House to get the espionage charges against two AIPAC employees reduced. In return, the Israeli agent promised AIPAC would put pressure on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to get Harman appointed head of the House intelligence committee. This pressure included having Haim Saban – whose largesse underwrites the Saban Center at Brookings, as well as a number of Democratic Party organizations – threatening to cut off the funding unless Pelosi caved.
AIPAC, of course, is the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the largest and most effective of the country-based Washington lobbies, generally rated up there with the NRA and AARP as one of the lobbying behemoths. Like many other commentators, I have often noted the distorting effect the Lobby has had on policymaking decisions and pointed out its deleterious effect on our national interests. However, Antiwar.com, and this columnist in particular, have gone where others have feared to tread, shining a spotlight on the dim area where lobbying activities overlap with espionage.
It should be noted that this was not a warrantless wiretap, of the sort Harman championed, but one approved by a special FISA court. Naturally, Harman issued a statement immediately denying the charges, averring that this "canard" is nothing new. It’s true that some of this story leaked out in 2006, but, as CQ reporter Jeff Stein put it in his piece, "What is new is that Harman is said to have been picked up on a court-approved NSA tap directed at alleged Israel covert action operations in Washington."
This is very similar to what happened to Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman, the two AIPAC officials (since unceremoniously dumped by their employer), and their fellow conspirator, former Pentagon Iran desk chief Larry Franklin. There they were, Rosen and Weissman, sitting with Naor Gilon in a restaurant in Arlington, Va., shooting the breeze, when in walks Franklin with an offer to unload classified material. Was it just serendipitous that the FBI’s counterintelligence unit had the place bugged and was listening in as Franklin volunteered to engage in espionage on behalf of Israel?
Gilon, chief of political affairs at the Israeli embassy, had been under surveillance at least since 2001, when, as Richard Sale reported, "the FBI discovered new, ‘massive’ Israeli spying operations in the East Coast, including New York and New Jersey," according to "one former senior U.S. government official." ( I reported on some of the activities of these operations in my short book, The Terror Enigma.)
Sale continues:
"The FBI began intensive surveillance on certain Israeli diplomats and other suspects and was videotaping Naor Gilon, chief of political affairs at the Israeli embassy in Washington, who was having lunch at a Washington hotel with two lobbyists from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee lobby group. Federal law enforcement officials said they were floored when Franklin came up to their table and sat down.”
Was a connection to Gilon Harman’s undoing? He pops up yet again amid widespread speculation that the former diplomat and undoubted intelligence officer was the "Israeli agent" on the line with Harman.
Gilon, by the way, has just been appointed to a top position in Avigdor Lieberman’s foreign ministry. As Richard Silverstein points out, the awkwardness this inserts into U.S.-Israeli relations may be quite deliberate:
"In Israel, if you successfully spy on the U.S. you’re rewarded with plum assignments and cabinet jobs. I’m fairly certain that this is also Lieberman’s way of tweaking Obama, saying, ‘you think you’re going to isolate me? I’ll show you. I’ll make my right hand man someone who has made a fool out of your government.’"
With the appointment of Uzi Arad, another Israeli spook involved in the Rosen-Weissman case, to a top spot on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s national security staff, we can count this as a doubly insulting provocation.
Thanks, Jane – you’re a real patriot, and you’ve certainly advanced the national security of the United States – in Bizarro World, that is.
Stein cites "a recently retired longtime national security official who was closely involved in the AIPAC investigation" as saying: "It’s the deepest kind of corruption, which was years in the making. It’s a story about the corruption of government — not legal corruption necessarily, but ethical corruption."
This ethical corruption is what allowed Harman to believe she could bulldoze her way into a House committee chair by playing the AIPAC card. The same corruption led her, a canny politician, to assume that Naor Gilon, rather than any American, had the decisive say when it came to committee appointments in the Congress of the United States. Isn’t that taking the "special relationship" just a little too far?
What’s apparent, in any case, is that the counterintelligence community has long taken an interest in the widening scope and increasing scale of Israel’s covert operations in the US, even if our mainstream media has shied away from the subject. They’ve been watching this crowd 24/7 for years, as is apparent from the indictment of Rosen, Weissman, and Franklin, which details acts that go back to 1999. That’s how they got Franklin and finally caught up with Ben Ami Kadish, who shared an Israeli handler with the infamous Jonathan Pollard. Kadish was picked up the day after his Israeli handler called [.pdf] him to tell him to lie: another NSA intercept approved by a FISA court, another Israeli spy snared. Which just goes to show that Jane Harman, AIPAC, and the IngSoc faction of the GOP were wrong: we don’t need warrantless wiretapping – the legal kind works fine.
This story has legs, if only because it illustrates a prime example of Bush-era corruption. Alberto Gonzales reportedly scotched the investigation into Harman – which was widely and erroneously reported as having found nothing – because he needed her help on the warrantless wiretaps issue. Did she make a deal with him, or was the quid pro quo implicit? It’s a sad day when we have to wiretap our own government officials to dig out the truth and protect our own security, but better them than the rest of us. They, after all, are the source of the corruption: indeed, it might not be a bad idea to allow warrantless wiretaps only of government officials, both elected and appointed. Now that would put a real crimp in the culture of corruption.
The Harman corruption-of-justice case illuminates a subject that has long been simmering on the back burner, hardly ever covered by the mainstream news media, and that is the upcoming trial of the AIPAC defendants, which is so underreported that I can’t even find a reference to the trial date, except that it is "upcoming" and scheduled to occur sometime in June. On trial are Steve Rosen, longtime spark plug behind AIPAC’s successful – some would say too successful – lobbying strategy, and Keith Weissman, AIPAC’s top Iran specialist. It is a trial that has had so many cancellations that a timeline of them all would take up a good part of this column. Suffice to say that the AIPAC defendants have put up quite a fight, delaying the trial for years, demanding that the government allow the introduction of classified material into the court record, and compelling high-profile figures such as Condi Rice and Steve Hadley to appear as witnesses. A sympathetic judge has granted them a good deal of leeway, and they have just about graymailed government prosecutors into a corner.
Will the case be dropped before it ever comes to trial? The clock is ticking, and we’ll soon know the answer to that question. (As I put this column to bed, the Washington Postreports prosecutors may very well drop the case.) As relations between the U.S. and Israel continue to sour, however, the Rosen-Weissman affair is a fairly accurate barometer of the rising mutual hostility between Washington and Tel Aviv. Israel’s new right-wing government is preparing for a showdown with the Obama administration over the Palestinian question, the Iranian issue, and the ongoing expansion of the settlements. If Obama is seeking a deal, there is widespread speculation that he could use the Iran issue as a bargaining chip: promising to take a harder line toward Tehran in exchange for a semblance of Israeli reasonableness on Palestinian statehood. The Rosen-Weissman trial could well be another such bargaining chip: a tradeoff that will make us less secure while advancing the career of an ambitious politician – a politician, in that sense, not unlike Rep. Harman.
What’s significant about the Harman case is that all the elements that have given the Israel Lobby such power in Washington – political heft, lots of money, and the exception-making requirements of the "special relationship" – have come together in a kind of Harmanic convergence, if you will, to illustrate why and how the Lobby’s influence is corrupting.
The sooner the public gets this message, the sooner our lawmakers will respond. And the proper response, to start with, is to make AIPAC do what every foreign lobbyist has to do, and that is comply with the Foreign Agents Registration Act by registering as an agent of a foreign power. This would put legal restrictions in place that would cut the Lobby down to its proper size and help correct the Israel-centric distortion of American foreign policy, which has been so skewed in the wrong direction for so long chiefly because of domestic political pressures. It’s long past time to cut off that pressure at its source.
The Jane Harman case is confusing to newcomers. The most important question that arises is why now? Why four years after the phone call? It is the most important question because it speaks to the fact that the central fight here, between the Israel lobby and the critics of the Israel lobby, is a fight that has been going on for more than 60 years in the underground of the Washington establishment. It never dies because it involves principled conflicts that are never resolved. They are never resolved because the press and our politicians can’t deal with these questions due to Harman-style orthodoxy/corruption, and the battle is suppressed. Though now and then it breaks the surface.
The specific reason the story is coming out now is that my side, the critics of the Israel lobby, are about to lose a battle: it looks like the case against Steven Rosen and Ken Weissman, the Israel lobbyists charged with sharing secrets with the Israelis five years ago, a case postponed forever, is going to get dropped by the Justice Department. The lawyers who believe in that case are surely upset about this and have managed to leak one of the big truffles of their investigation to the press so as to goose the public outrage over the central issue at stake: corruption of policymaking due to the Israel interest. I don’t know that they’re the source. But that’s my supposition.
We may lose this fight, but we are winning the larger battle. Remember that We lost the Chas Freeman fight, the nomination of an Arabist/realist to the National Intelligence Council, but we won that one too because he freely exposed the Israel-first gang that had gone after him. Suddenly the Israel lobby was on the front pages. It’s on them again, a month later, with the Times coverage of Harman. This is unprecedented. At last the Israel lobby, which people denied as a fact of our political life when Steve Walt and John Mearsheimer had the Emperor’s-new-clothes temerity to say it existed three years ago, is being openly mentioned. Andrea Mitchell said frankly on MSNBC the other day that it is a well-known and powerful lobby.
We are winning in this overall struggle because the central question, the justice of U.S. foreign policy to the Palestinians, has never been discussed and is never going away. It demands to be discussed. The Forward has a smart but slightly panicky piece today saying that the Harman case reflects a longheld belief in the federal government, among the professionals, that Jews have dual loyalty to Israel, going back almost to the foundation of the state. This is true. At least since the Truman overruled his State Department when it wanted to try and reverse partition in the spring of 1948, because bloody riots and ethnic cleansing had begun in Palestine, which partition was supposed to end, the lobby has won through White House access of the sort Harman allegedly boasted of in the wiretapped call; and those who are critical of a Jewish state or its policies have been excluded and smeared, as antisemites. The Forward piece carried that implication tday. The issue has never gone away and many presidents have bitched about it. Kennedy was upset abut Jewish influence-peddling on the matter even as Israel was acquiring nuclear weapons in defiance of his policy (Sy Hersh reported in the Samson Option). Nixon bridled at the lobbying. Jimmy Carter threw himself against the Israel lobby and didn’t get reelected. George Bush I also took on the Israel lobby, the evil settlements policy that has now all but destroyed the two-state solution, and didn’t get a second term. Bill Clinton and George Bush II embraced the expansion and the lobby, and had two terms. Chuck Percy and Paul Findlay sacrificed their political futures over trying to get the issue discussed.
The tragedy of our politics is that Barack Obama ran last year in some large measure against the neoconservative policy on the Middle East and the issue was never openly debated. Obama toed the line--and secretly believed that Palestinians are suffering the most. The neocons wanted to have that fight, and so did I. We both thought we would win if we could have it out; or they thought that McCain had a better chance of winning. But that question was ruled out of the presidential campaign, a time when people would get a chance to choose over the issue--just as Al Franken and Norm Coleman refused to differ on the question in the midst of their battle--and now the unresolved struggle has been imported into the Obama administraiotn. He knows that resolving the issue is essential to the American interest in the Middle East, and to peace. It’s the core issues, As King Abdullah and every other leader has told him. But because we could not have it out last year, a silent struggle is now taking place inside his administration, as Bruce wolman has put it, between the realists and the Israel-firsters. Obama can throw a signal to one side and the other, but he can’t take a firm stand against the Israel firsters without political cover. A few critical congressmen, Brian Baird and Kucinich and Donna Edwards, aren’t going to give him that political cover. He needs his progressive base to take a stand on the question and openly, and allow the influential elites to divide on the issue on talk shows and at dinner parties. He can’t drive the wedge without a sledgehammer-- public opinion, the press.
I'm optimistic because the Harman case came up three years ago, in Time Magazine, and died, and now it has come up again and gotten legs. It could not have become such a big story without political ground, created by the horrors of Gaza, and the Netanyahu/Lieberman election, and before that by the horrors of Iraq. Americans know that our Middle East policy is skewed toward permanent war, one that Rahm Emanuel and Jane Hamran supported. Progressive Democrats are beginning to rally around the issue at last.
What the Harman leak suggests is that the establishment press and the disgruntled Israel critics within government have found each other at last. The story took 4 years, or 60 years to get out, but it is out, and there is a suggestion in the coverage that the intelligence of the American political process may at last be brought to bear on this question—instead of the intelligence of the back room dealers. When that happens, expect fairness.

Press can't say it, but a blogger can (Jane Harman's Jewish)
Jane Harman's Jewish. There, I just said it. That's why we have the blogosphere. Any intelligent person discussing this story at dinner is going to mention that she's Jewish. That's because Alan Dershowitz said that supporting Israel is the "secular religion" of American Jews. And because Walt and Mearsheimer point out that Jewish-Americans play a prominent part in the Israel lobby.
There are plenty of American Jews who don't support Israel. Some anyway. But they don't get into Congress for some reason. And they very rarely get published in the Forward. I can't think of a time, actually. The orthodoxy within the Jewish community is just as Dershowitz reported. We [heart] Israel.
Can you imagine if a leading evangelical politician was allegedly mixed up in a shady deal involving pressuring the White House on gay rights, and the papers didn't mention his religion? I can't. Do you think it's possible to talk about the power of the Israel lobby, which is what the Harman leak is about, at bottom, without talking about religion in American life? And without Jewish reporters talking about the religious orthodoxy they're familiar with? No. Heck, Wolf Blitzer, who did this story on CNN yesterday (and I bet left out the religious angle), used to work at AIPAC. Does Judaism/Israel matter to him? Oh and how many Jews are in Congress and the media? Just because you talk about this doesn't make you Ahmadinejad.
Thanks to James North for the idea. He says that the late David Halberstam used to say that one problem with journalism is that it causes a writer to act stupid, to leave out stuff he knows to be true. And this is why, North says, people are turning to the blogosphere: they want to know what smart people really think.
Jane Harman, Haim Saban, and AIPAC: The Disloyalty Issue in Multicultural America By Kevin MacDonald Disloyalty is an age-old issue with Jews, and for a simple reason: Jews often have interests as Jews that stretch beyond national boundaries. Even before the existence of Israel, Diaspora Jews often could be said to have a “foreign policy” in the sense that there was a general consensus among Jews to favor some nations and disfavor others. For example, the Spanish Inquisition targeted Jews who pretended to be Christians, with the result that Jews in other countries sought Spain’s downfall. From 1881 until the Bolshevik Revolution, Russia was seen as an enemy of Jews. As a result, the organized Jewish community in other countries often opposed Russian interests. Jacob Schiff, the preeminent Jewish activist of the period, financed the Japanese in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–1905, and he financed revolutionaries in Russia. At times, Jewish foreign policy interests were in conflict with those of the wider society. In 1908 Schiff also led the successful effort to abrogate the Russian Trade Agreement which was opposed by the Taft Administration as not in the interests of the United States. Schiff’s motive for helping Jews in Russia conflicted with US national interests as understood by the US government. (more…)
Steve Rosen Accuses AIPAC of Espionage Steven J. Rosen’s defamation lawsuit against the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is now entering a critical phase. A series of cross-filings stakes out the critical court terrain. Rosen intends to show that obtaining and leveraging classified U.S. government information in the service of Israel is common practice at AIPAC. He claims it was unfair for AIPAC to fire and malign him in the press after he was indicted on espionage charges in 2005. AIPAC’s defense team is committed to getting the case thrown out on technicalities before it goes to trial early next year.
At the heart of the investigation are two people who work at The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a powerful pro-Israel lobby in Washington. The FBI investigation, headed up by Dave Szady, has involved wiretaps, undercover surveillance and photography that CBS News was told document the passing of classified information from the mole, to the men at AIPAC, and on to the Israelis.
CBS sources say that last year the suspected spy, described as a trusted analyst at the Pentagon, turned over a presidential directive on U.S. policy toward Iran while it was, "in the draft phase when U.S. policy-makers were still debating the policy." This put the Israelis, according to one source, "inside the decision-making loop" so they could "try to influence the outcome." [CBS News]
Once again Israel denies wrongdoing, or faced with incontrovertible evidence (in this case one of the spies has reportedly cooperated with the FBI) dismisses the spying with the claim that such spying is harmless, because Israel and the United States are such good friends.
Well, let us take a closer look at that idea of "harmless espionage" by recalling Israel's most famous failed spy, Jonathan Pollard.
Jonathan Pollard is an American of Jewish descent, born in Galveston Texas, who established a career as an intelligence analyst for the US Navy. There have been many theories offered as to why Pollard decided to betray his country of birth to the Jewish state, but that Pollard did betray his country of birth to Israel is beyond all doubt. Pollard's defense was that he did not spy so much against the United States, only that he spied for Israel, sending them documents that in his opinion the US should have shared with Israel anyway.
That it was never Pollards job to decide what documents Israel should have was apparently irrelevant. Pollard arrogated that authority to himself. From his position of trust within the US Navy, Pollard delivered over 1000 classified documents to Israel for which he was well paid. Included in those documents were the names of over 150 US agents in the Mideast, who were eventually "turned" into agents for Israel.
But by far the most egregious damage done by Pollard was to steal classified documents relating to the US Nuclear Deterrent relative to the USSR and send them to Israel. According to sources in the US State Department, Israel then turned around and traded those stolen nuclear secrets to the USSR in exchange for increased emigration quotas from the USSR to Israel. Other information that found its way from the US to Israel to the USSR resulted in the loss of American agents operating inside the USSR. Casper Weinberger, in his affidavit opposing a reduced sentence for Pollard, described the damage done to the United States thus, "[It is] difficult to conceive of a greater harm to national security than that caused by... Pollard's treasonous behavior."
This should end the suggestion that Israel's spies are harmless. They are not. The United States' nuclear deterrent cost an estimated five trillion taxpayer dollars during the 50s and 60s to build and maintain, and less than $100,000 for Pollard to undermine. Israel waited 13 years to admit Pollard had been spying for them, and now lobbies for his release, having granted him Israeli citizenship.
Pollard is hardly the only Israeli spy operating in the United States. He just had the misfortune to get caught. Here are just a few examples of the Israeli spy operations that have been detected.
1947 Information collected by the ADL in its spy operations on US citizens is used by the House Select Committee on Unamerican Activities. Subcommittee Chair Clare Hoffman dismisses the ADL's reports on suspected communists as "hearsay."
1950 John Davitt, former chief of the Justice Department's internal security section notes that the Israeli intelligence service is the second most active in the United States after the Soviets.
1954 A hidden microphone planted by the Israelis is discovered in the Office of the US Ambassador in Tel Aviv.
1956 Telephone taps are found connected to two telephones in the residence of the US military attaché in Tel Aviv.
1954 "The Lavon Affair". Israeli agents recruit Egyptian citizens of Jewish descent to bomb Western targets in Egypt, and plant evidence to frame Arabs, in an apparent attempt to upset US-Egyptian relations. Israeli defense minister Pinchas Lavon is eventually removed from office, though many think real responsibility lay with David Ben-Gurion.
1965 Israel apparently illegally obtains enriched uranium from NUMEC Corporation. (Washington Post, 6/5/86, Charles R. Babcock, "US an Intelligence Target of the Israelis, Officials Say.")
1967 Israel attacks the USS Liberty, an intelligence gathering vessel flying a US flag, killing 34 crew members. See Assault on the Liberty, by James M. Ennes, Jr. (Random House). In 2004, Captain Ward Boston, Senior Legal Counsel for the Navy's Court of Inquiry into the attack swears under oath that President Lyndon Johnson ordered the investigation to conclude accident, even though the evidence indicates the attack was deliberate. Given the use by Israel of unmarked boats and planes, and the machine-gunning of USS Liberty's lifeboats, the most likely explanation is that USS Liberty was to be sunk with all hands, with evidence left to frame Egypt for the sinking. This would have dragged the US into the war on Israel's side.
1970 While working for Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson, Richard Perle is caught by the FBI giving classified information to Israel. Nothing is done.
1978, Stephen Bryen, then a Senate Foreign Relations Committee staffer, is overheard in a DC hotel offering confidential documents to top Israeli military officials. Bryen obtains a lawyer, Nathan Lewin, and the case heads for the grand jury, but is mysteriously dropped. Bryen later goes to work for Richard Perle.
1979 Shin Beth [the Israeli internal security agency] tries to penetrate the US Consulate General in Jerusalem through a "Honey Trap", using a clerical employee who was having an affair with a Jerusalem girl.
1985The New York Times reports the FBI is aware of at least a dozen incidents in which American officials transferred classified information to the Israelis, quoting [former Assistant Director of the F.B.I.] Mr. [Raymond] Wannal. The Justice Department does not prosecute.
1985 Richard Smyth, the owner of MILCO, is indicted on charges of smuggling nuclear timing devices to Israel (Washington Post, 10/31/86).
1987 April 24 Wall Street Journal headline: "Role of Israel in Iran-Contra Scandal Won't be Explored in Detail by Panels"
1992The Wall Street Journal reports that Israeli agents apparently tried to steal Recon Optical Inc's top-secret airborne spy-camera system.
1992 Stephen Bryen, caught offering confidential documents to Israel in 1978, is serving on board of the pro-Israeli Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs while continuing as a paid consultant -- with security clearance -- on exports of sensitive US technology.
1992The Samson Option, by Seymour M. Hersh reports, "Illicitly obtained intelligence was flying so voluminously from LAKAM into Israeli intelligence that a special code name, JUMBO, was added to the security markings already on the documents. There were strict orders, Ari Ben-Menashe recalled: "Anything marked JUMBO was not supposed to be discussed with your American counterparts."
1993 The ADL is caught operating a massive spying operation on critics of Israel, Arab-Americans, the San Francisco Labor Council, ILWU Local 10, Oakland Educational Association, NAACP, Irish Northern Aid, International Indian Treaty Council, the Asian Law Caucus and the San Francisco police. Data collected was sent to Israel and in some cases to South Africa. Pressure from Jewish organizations forces the city to drop the criminal case, but the ADL settles a civil lawsuit for an undisclosed sum of cash.
1995 The Defense Investigative Service circulates a memo warning US military contractors that "Israel aggressively collects [US] military and industrial technology." The report stated that Israel obtains information using "ethnic targeting, financial aggrandizement, and identification and exploitation of individual frailties" of US citizens.
1996 A General Accounting Office report "Defense Industrial Security: Weaknesses in US Security Arrangements With Foreign-Owned Defense Contractors" found that according to intelligence sources "Country A" (identified by intelligence sources as Israel, Washington Times, 2/22/96) "conducts the most aggressive espionage operation against the United States of any US ally." The Jerusalem Post (8/30/96) quoted the report, "Classified military information and sensitive military technologies are high-priority targets for the intelligence agencies of this country." The report described "An espionage operation run by the intelligence organization responsible for collecting scientific and technologic information for [Israel] paid a US government employee to obtain US classified military intelligence documents." The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (Shawn L. Twing, April 1996) noted that this was "a reference to the 1985 arrest of Jonathan Pollard, a civilian US naval intelligence analyst who provided Israel's LAKAM [Office of Special Tasks] espionage agency an estimated 800,000 pages of classified US intelligence information."
The GAO report also noted that "Several citizens of [Israel] were caught in the United States stealing sensitive technology used in manufacturing artillery gun tubes."
1996 An Office of Naval Intelligence document, Worldwide Challenges to Naval Strike Warfare reported that "US technology has been acquired [by China] through Israel in the form of the Lavi fighter and possibly SAM [surface-to-air] missile technology." Jane's Defense Weekly (2/28/96) noted that "until now, the intelligence community has not openly confirmed the transfer of US technology [via Israel] to China." The report noted that this "represents a dramatic step forward for Chinese military aviation." (Flight International, 3/13/96)
1997 An Army mechanical engineer, David A. Tenenbaum, "inadvertently" gives classified military information on missile systems and armored vehicles to Israeli officials (New York Times, 2/20/97).
1997The Washington Post reports US intelligence has intercepted a conversation in which two Israeli officials had discussed the possibility of getting a confidential letter that then-Secretary of State Warren Christopher had written to Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat. One of the Israelis, identified only as "Dov", had commented that they may get the letter from "Mega", the code name for Israel's top agent inside the United States.
1997 US ambassador to Israel, Martin Indyk, complains privately to the Israeli government about heavy-handed surveillance by Israeli intelligence agents.
1997 Israeli agents place a tap on Monica Lewinsky's phone at the Watergate and record phone sex sessions between her and President Bill Clinton. The Ken Starr report confirms that Clinton warned Lewinsky their conversations were being taped and ended the affair. At the same time, the FBI's hunt for "Mega" is called off.
2001 It is discovered that US drug agents' communications have been penetrated. Suspicion falls on two companies, AMDOCS and Comverse Infosys, both owned by Israelis. AMDOCS generates billing data for most US phone companies and is able to provide detailed logs of who is talking to whom. Comverse Infosys builds the tapping equipment used by law enforcement to eavesdrop on all American telephone calls, but suspicion forms that Comverse, which gets half of its research and development budget from the Israeli government, has built a back door into the system that is being exploited by Israeli intelligence and that the information gleaned on US drug interdiction efforts is finding its way to drug smugglers. The investigation by the FBI leads to the exposure of the largest foreign spy ring ever uncovered inside the United States, operated by Israel. Half of the suspected spies have been arrested when 9-11 happens. On 9-11, 5 Israelis are arrested for dancing and cheering while the World Trade Towers collapse. Supposedly employed by Urban Moving Systems, the Israelis are caught with multiple passports and a lot of cash. Two of them are later revealed to be Mossad. As witness reports track the activity of the Israelis, it emerges that they were seen at Liberty Park at the time of the first impact, suggesting a foreknowledge of what was to come. The Israelis are interrogated, and then eventually sent back to Israel. The owner of the moving company used as a cover by the Mossad agents abandons his business and flees to Israel. The United States Government then classifies all of the evidence related to the Israeli agents and their connections to 9-11. All of this is reported to the public via a four part story on Fox News by Carl Cameron. Pressure from Jewish groups, primarily AIPAC, forces Fox News to remove the story from their website. Two hours prior to the 9-11 attacks, Odigo, an Israeli company with offices just a few blocks from the World Trade Towers, receives an advance warning via the internet. The manager of the New York Office provides the FBI with the IP address of the sender of the message, but the FBI does not follow up.
2001 The FBI is investigating 5 Israeli moving companies as possible fronts for Israeli intelligence.
2001 JDL's Irv Rubin arrested for planning to bomb a US Congressman. He dies before he can be brought to trial.
2002 The DEA issues a report that Israeli spies, posing as art students, have been trying to penetrate US Government offices.
2002 Police near the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in southern Washington State stop a suspicious truck and detain two Israelis, one of whom is illegally in the United States. The two men were driving at high speed in a Ryder rental truck, which they claimed had been used to "deliver furniture." The next day, police discovered traces of TNT and RDX military-grade plastic explosives inside the passenger cabin and on the steering wheel of the vehicle. The FBI then announces that the tests that showed explosives were "false positived" by cigarette smoke, a claim test experts say is ridiculous. Based on an alibi provided by a woman, the case is closed and the Israelis are handed over to INS to be sent back to Israel. One week later, the woman who provided the alibi vanishes.
2003 The Police Chief of Cloudcroft stops a truck speeding through a school zone. The drivers turn out to be Israelis with expired passports. Claiming to be movers, the truck contains junk furniture and several boxes. The Israelis are handed over to immigration. The contents of the boxers are not revealed to the public.
2003 Israel deploys assassination squads into other countries, including the United States. The US Government does not protest.
2004 Police near the Nuclear Fuel Services plant in Tennessee stop a truck after a three mile chase, during which the driver throws a bottle containing a strange liquid from the cab. The drivers turn out to be Israelis using fake Ids. The FBI refuses to investigate and the Israelis are released.
2004 Two Israelis try to enter Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, home to eight Trident submarines. The truck tests positive for explosives.
This brings us to the present scandal. Two years into an investigation of AIPAC's possible role as a spy front for Israel, Larry Franklin, a mid-level Pentagon Analyst is observed by the FBI giving classified information to two officials of AIPAC suspected of being Israeli spies. AIPAC hires lawyer Nathan Lewin to handle their legal defense, the same lawyer who defended suspected Israeli spy Stephen Bryen in 1978.
Larry Franklin worked in the Pentagon Office of Special Plans, run by Richard Perle, at the time Perle (who was caught giving classified information to Israel back in 1970) was insisting that Iraq was crawling with weapons of mass destruction requiring the United States to invade and conquer Iraq. There were no WMDs, of course, and Perle has dumped the blame for the "bad intelligence" on George Tenet. But what is known is that the Pentagon Office of Special Plans was coordinating with a similar group in Israel, in Ariel Sharon's office.
With two suspected Israeli spies (at least) inside the office from which the lies that launched the war in Iraq originated, it appears that the people of the United States are the victims of a deadly hoax, a hoax that started a war.
The leaking of the investigation of AIPAC to the media on August 28th, 2004 gave advance warning to other spies working with Franklin. The damage to the FBI's investigation was completed when United States Attorney General John Ashcroft ordered the FBI to stop all arrests in the case. Like the Stephen Bryen case and the hunt for "Mega", this latest spy scandal seems destined to be buried by officials who have their own secret allegiances to protect, barring a massive public outcry.
The organization at the heart of the latest spy investigation, AIPAC, wields tremendous influence over the US Congress. Through its members and affiliated PACs, AIPAC directs a huge flow of campaign cash in favor of, and occasionally against, Senators and Representatives solely on the basis of their willingness to support Israel. As an example, in 2002, U.S. Rep. Artur Davis, D-Birmingham received so much help from pro-Israeli pacs that 76% of his campaign budget came from OUTSIDE the state of Alabama, mostly from New York.
Let me repeat that. A Congressman AIPAC wanted elected received more money from pro-Israel groups outside his state than from his own constituents inside his state. Who is that Congressman going to be thinking of when he votes in Congress?
So here is the mother of all scandals.
For two years, the FBI has suspected AIPAC of spying for a foreign country, and for those two years (and for decades before) that group suspected of spying for Israel has been reshaping the US Congress for the benefit of a foreign government.
And THAT is the mother of all scandals.
Think about that as billions of your tax dollars flow to Israel while your roads and schools crumble and decay and services are cut.
Think about that as the coffins come home with your loved ones inside.
Think about that when you and a million of your fellow citizens march down the streets of America opposing wars built on lies and deceptions and wonder why the government just doesn't want to listen to you any more.
ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL voices of the pro-Israel lobby has published a shocking essay suggesting that, in the future, there should be “military attacks” on journalists and media outlets that oppose American military ventures on behalf of Israel.
In the spring 2008 issue of its Journal of International Security Affairs, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), a particularly vocal force of the Jewish lobby, published a series of articles devoted to the subject: “The U.S. Military Faces the Future.”

Mais il faut dire que les meilleurs auteurs de AFP sont Mark Glenn et Mike Piper, sans oublier Jim Tucker. Hufschmid s'est organisé pour que son coéquipier Daryl Smith fasse dire à Eustace Mullins que Willis Carto était "suspect", etc. Eustace a été embobiné et il juge aujourd'hui avoir été utilisé par Smith-Hufschmid pour détruire la réputation de Carto.
