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.

Another person who works with them is Brendon O’Connell of Perth, Western Australia who uses handles like QuoTodt (has his videos backed up at the fugaziquo site, and promotes it; click on 2nd and 4th tabs below to see).
Google Kerr Hufschmid Lithuanian which will show some of my planetquo.info pages on Jim Kerr and his associates.
Kerr’s old site planetquo.com has turned into a porn site, suggesting that it was run by Jewish interests all along.
Back in late 2007 / early 2008, Jim Kerr was certainly in correspondence with Eric Hufschmid; Kerr even admitted it by posting some email correspondence on one of his websites. I had already proved the Hufschmid-Kerr connection in an operation where I sent a message to a selection of people about the possible dicovery of Jim Kerr’s home address; the built in twist was that different people were allocated a different URL to look at, so from examining which IPs had hit particular pages, I could tell that Hufschmid had passed the message on to Kerr. Google Kerr Hufschmid Lithuanian or see:
(details of the operation to determine who Kerr was working with; also Kerr’s amusing claim to be a “one-armed electrician” who was able to “retire at age 45″)
(latest news, overview, amusing quotes by Kerr including his pretending to be an “enemy” of Brendon O’Connell, and claims that O’Connell is a Zionist agent)
Kerr’s planetquo.com has turned into a sex / porn site, suggesting that it was run by Jewish interests all along. Any claim by Kerr that he couldn’t afford to run the domain and had to let it go is countered by the fact that if so, he wouldn’t have been able to afford his newer website takeourworldback.biz which is dedicated to attacking my sites takeourworldback.com and planetquo.info. I set up the latter to counter his original attacks on me. Nowadays I don’t even bother to read his latest claims; there are so many more interesting things going on such as the unexploded nano-thermite and now Ahmadinejad’s speech.
The other interesting coincidence is that when you use IP anonymiser to view http://planetquo.com, two URL bars show up at the top: http://planetquo.com/ and http://kolmic.com/?dn=porn.planetquo.com&pid=2PO28GNS8&sdr=1&. So the porn site planetquo.com is linked to the kolmic.com domain, and the interesting thing about kolmic.com is that it was registered on May 7, 2007 via PrivacyProtect.org of Moergestel, Netherlands. Two sites known to be controlled by Kerr and his associates - planetquo.org and takeourworldback.biz - also show the same registrant of PrivacyProtect.org of Moergestel, Netherlands!
Kerr and Stewart’s role looks rather similar to that of Eric Hufschmid: a controlled “opposition” that will say “we have moved beyond 9/11″ and so will divert people’s attention to conspiracy theories rather than conspiracy facts. Hufschmid claims 99% of 9/11 truth seekers are worthless and part of “the criminal network”, but compared to Kerr, his attacks are relatively polite and restrained. Kerr acts as Hufschmid’s “attack dog”, writing attack pieces that are more personal and insulting. Stewart makes the videos, playing Hufschmid’s role as a Judas goat that steers truth seekers over to a topic where they can be safely contained.
The role of Kerr, Stewart and Hufschmid is of Judas goats: a controlled “opposition” that will say “we have moved beyond 9/11″ and diverts truth seekers away from conspiracy facts and over to conspiracy theories such as Bill Cooper’s, where they may be safely contained.
Bill Cooper suggests that James Forrestal was killed for threatening to expose things about “UFOs”; surely the more probable reason was his opposition to Israel.
I class as conspiracy facts items reported by the Zionist press or even admitted by those in question. E.g. Silverstein / Lowy taking over the WTC lease six weeks before 9/11; the handsome insurance policy containing a clause stating that in the event of a terrorist attack, the partners could not only collect the insured value of the property, but would also be released from all of their obligations under the 99-year lease; the way that in the photo where the insurance settlement was agreed, Silverstein was grinning like a Cheshire cat that got the cream….
…Silverstein being a close friend of Benjamin Netanyahu, who (along with Mossad agents) has a habit of being at the crime scene when terror attacks are about to occur, and whose father Benzion was both a disciple of Abba Ahimeir of the Revisionist Maximalism Jewish fascist ideology and was the secretary of Ze’ev Jabotinsky who at one time (1937) was commander of the Irgun, a Jewish terrorist group responsible for atrocities such as the 1946 King David Hotel bombing which killed 91 people and wounded 46. And how terrorism had helped Netanyahu’s career prior to 9/11, when he was “unexpectedly” elected Israeli Prime Minister in 1996 after a wave of “suicide bombings” shortly before the elections.
Conspiracy facts would also include peer-reviewed scientific papers.
Whenever conspiracy facts hit the news, some people will try to divert attention to conspiracy theories which, although they may have an element of truth, aren’t so damaging to Zionist interests…
takeourworldback.com says:
Yes, I saw “Bishop Takes Knight”. FugaziQuo have had some success with this because it was featured on WRH and on a David Icke forum. Back around June 2007 I was corresponding with Jim Kerr to find out about his weird theories on shills, and he implied that he has lots of contacts. That was before I told him his ideas were far-fetched and he shouldn’t have treated Suzette like he did; I was then tagged as one of his enemies and was called a “shill”, even a “J-w”! He has also posted about how he “admires” David Icke. So maybe he emails people like Mike Rivero and David Icke, posing as a normal “truth seeker”, and submits his ‘work’ to them. He is the sort of person who would try to ingratiate himself with forum owners / admins, start fights, and then email the admins about how he’s been “wronged”.
The FugaziQuo team’s job seems to be to establish themselves as “truth seekers” rather like Hufschmid, so they can steer people away from the unreacted superthermite and Germar Rudolf’s work over to Bishop Williamson and Cooper. Then the regular shills can take over, attacking the weaker targets.
(...)I haven’t seen the new Missing Links yet. There was more good information in the previous version than I’ve seen in FugaziQuo’s work, but they could have shortened some of the more dubious material. The “gang” seem to have the same M.O. whether it’s Prothink, Jim Kerr, or Bollyn. They are supposedly highly skilled investigators but support someone who is clearly bad for any truth movement (e.g. Hufschmid). They are friends or enemies of people and then the “enemies” (e.g. Brendon O’Connell) turn out to be the best of friends and they are working together and promoting each other. Or they have a falling out and start to call each other “agents”.
I only corresponded with Kerr for a month or two; by then, it was quite obvious that he was a ne’er-do-well, and by the way he treated his former “friends”, was not someone that I would support. But Bollyn and Hufschmid were working together for years!
Brendon O’Connell steals someone else’s handle when posting here, says we should take to the streets and blame “the judaics”, promotes FugaziQuo of whom (Planet)Quo aka Jim Kerr spent about a year declaring O’Connell to be a “Zionist agent”, and supports Eric “Murdoch” Hufschmid who asserts that 99% of 9/11 truth seekers are “worthless” and “somehow connected to the criminal network”.
But those most likely to be members of the criminal network are those who say 99% of truth seekers are part of the criminal network, along with some of their supporters. And it’s no good just saying “we know who did it”, since most people still think al Qaeda did 9/11. Moreover, stirring up a straw man “anti-judaic” sentiment which is based on gut feeling rather than hard facts is counterproductive as that can be readily dismissed as “anti-Semitism”, simultaneously tainting rational opposition.
Rather than play games stealing each other’s handles and accusing each other of being “agents”, it is better to compile as many facts as possible with corroborating sources. E.g., see my page:

According to Jim Kerr’s latest attack piece (18th May, 2009), I’m a “jew-shill”, Cathar is a “jew”, and Anarchore / “Anachore” (sic) is - you guessed it! - a “jew”! And he describes the Ziofascism site as a “poxy little shill-hole”.
Here’s some amusing excerpts from “The Attacks On Brendon O’Connell, Michael Stewart And Jim Kerr”:
“The guy with the strange-looking neck, the hookbeak nose, and the receding hairline is the person who operates the takeourworldback.com and planetquo.info websites. This is the mighty “Poseidon” - Bristol’s equivalent of Forest Gump. “Poseidon” is a musical savant who seems to derive much pleasure from making a dick out of himself in public and embarrassing the 9-11 “truth movement” with the tediously boring videos that he posts all over the Internet.”
So much for addressing the arguments rather than attacking the messenger. At least, Kerr has abandoned his claim that I live in France.
“Take a look at the listings that are returned whenever a Google search is performed using the keywords of “Brendon O’Connell”. There’s that site again, “Ziofascism”, fourth-top listing under the heading of Brendon O’Connell’s Suppressed Videos. The slithering snakes have used Brendon’s “First Fruits” video to help drive traffic to their poxy little shill-hole, wherein they have attacked Brendon on the very same page where they have posted his video.”
Kerr shows his frustration over how his unpopular, insignificant little sites fugaziquo.com and takeourworldback.biz only achieve Google Pageranks of 1 and 0 respectively, compared to 2 (ziofascism.net) and 3 (takeourworldback.com).
Kerr also studiously overlooks the fact that I wrote in support of O’Connell: “Even though he declared that I deserved a ‘bullet’, he shouldn’t be fined or jailed for the occasions when he does tell the truth.”
“Do the math. “Eireann Goddess” is a Jew-infiltrator. So too is “Cathar”. And if these white nationalists are correct, “Anachore” of Ziofascism.net is too. Are you prepared to give “Anachore” the benefit of the doubt? I certainly am not. Guilt by association works both ways, and “Anachore” is guilty of associating with, supporting, promoting and defending the Judas Goat Jew-shill “Poseidon”.”
Kerr’s circular argument consists of him accusing sans evidence some people of being “Jewish infiltrators”, and concluding that, by association or from induction, others are too.
“But “Cathar” is being severely whipped by the posters over there who aren’t buying the propaganda that “Cathar” is trying to sell them. The posters “Celtic Welsh Warrior” and “Canadafirst” have seen straight through “Cathar” whose agenda has been exposed, and whose ‘credibility’ has dropped from zero down into the minuses.”
The poster Celtic Welsh Warrior turned up at Stormfront on October 15, 2008, three weeks after Keltic Man suddenly stopped posting.
CWW’s writing, in which he poses as anti-Jew and keeps writing about “the Jews” shows an interesting similarity to a pro-Bollyn character on Stormfront who masquerades as “anti-Jew” and used multiple handles such as Keltic Man, CelticDruidess, Celtic Patriot, Spirit of 1776, Hendersson, Frankinphilidelphia, Belarus, Blue_Spruce, etc.
As Spirit of 1776, he posted the absurd theory that Hufschmid was Lucidthots at NOLAJBS, debus was Daryl Bradford Smith, Poseidon was the “false Proemio” set up by DBS, and DBS and Whippette “run” WakeUpFromYourSlumber, etc. I debunked that here:
Unfortunately, Spirit of 1776’s posts were removed when he got banned recently, but some of what he wrote can be seen in my quoting of him at the above links. As to why would anyone post preposterous nonsense such as “Debus = DBS” that could be readily debunked, there are several motives. 1) It served as a time-wasting distraction from the NIST WTC7 ‘report’ that had just been released. 2) The poster 1776 and his other incarnations kept posting copy and pastes from Bollyn’s websites including images, the purpose being that if a Stormfront poster forgot to turn images off when posting, the person operating the bollyn.com (and then bollyn.info) sites could look at the log to find when the images were pulled, and compare with the posting times to ascertain the poster’s IP.
I noticed a couple of days ago that someone from Hod Hasharon, Israel had used Google Translate to translate the takeourworldback.com front page into Hebrew. They’d done the same with one more page: the Bollyn page. Hod Hasharon has the Alexander Muss high school, alumni of which include Mossad agent Cheryl Ben Tov / Hanin aka Cindy, who entrapped Mordechai Vanunu in 1986.
Kerr puts a lot of effort into exploiting everything for maximum propaganda advantage. It could be just that he’s paranoid and seriously deluded and imagines that everyone who’s ever crossed him on the internet is a “jewish shill”.
There must be the modern-day equivalent of a Denis Sefton Delmer and Ellic Howe, who orchestrate the operations of the real shills. The intriguing question is whether the likes of Jim Kerr and Michael Stewart are merely exploited as useful idiots by the shills, or are even working for pay. The latter could explain how Kerr and Stewart support themselves without a job, but I would expect real agents to be rather more professional.
That latest expose of “jew-shills” is classic Jim Kerr material. It’s exactly what he specialises in: “exposing” everyone that he’s ever disagreed with - about half of all his internet contacts. His obsession with fighting his numerous “enemies” had totally discredited his former PlanetQuo handle, so he abandoned it, along with his planetquo.com and planetquo.net sites.
Michael “Fugazi” Stewart, who was Kerr’s ally down under a couple of years ago when he thought the other Australian, Brendon, was a “Zionist shill”, concentrates on making videos. Kerr is the better writer of the two, but his grasp of reality is probably even more detached than Stewart’s!
See here for an image of Stewart, who describes himself as having “educated opinions”.
The best time I got busted as a “Zionist shill” was by someone called Pedros, who, to paraphrase, said “Although Poseidon the Zionist Liar is cleverer and more knowledgeable than me, I am right and he is wrong. He is a shill and Eric Hufschmid has exposed him.”
Then there was the poster uraniumtiger, who was found to have registered at some dating sites. But the women that he’d expressed an interest in - he’d viewed their profiles - all stated that they were seeking someone who was honest, intelligent and with a sense of humor - which sadly ruled out uraniumtiger! LOL!
Quote my words if necessary. We should move on to exposing the big fish. But first, here’s a bit more relating to the Brendon O’Connell incident.
One thing that won’t count in Brendon’s favor when he comes up for sentencing is his previous record as a drug dealer, which he admitted to on Liberty Forum. When he was convicted and sentenced in 2003, the judge described him as running a “marijuana factory”. His operations were said to have made him about $180,000, and BO’C boasted to a contact of mine of having netted $200,000 in a year.
BO’C posted at Liberty Forum that he could “take it or leave it”, whether it is meth or scotch.
In 2004, BO’C turned up on the internet as a sort of anti-Jew version of Alex Jones, trying to scare everyone with predictions of how they were going to end up in a “gulag camp”-style police state, would be implanted with “micro chips”, and tracked and targeted as a precursor to “population reduction”.
It was in the context of replying to that post, that Nina aka apossumprincess posted a photo of herself wearing an IDF t-shirt. The second parts of BOC’s examples, about “killing”, “assassination” and “vomiting”, were clearly in jest. But he didn’t make up the fact that he once “walked past a Jewish guy”, and it’s not obvious that he made up the tale about having a sister who worked in Israel.
However, getting himself arrested is the sort of stunt that leads to in-fighting amongst anti-Zionists, between those who think he should go to jail and those who perceive him as a “saint” or a martyr. Just for the record, here are two of Brendon O’Connell’s most ardent supporters:
Whenever I post comments about the Brendon O’Connell affair, Jim Kerr of FugaziQuo attempts to gain a propaganda advantage from it and hold it up as ‘proof’ of my being a “Jew-shill” (as he calls me).
Jim Kerr has gone into meltdown over at fugaziquo.com, publishing several email addresses including mine and that of an innocent Californian woman who, AFAIK, hasn’t even posted about Brendon.
Kerr’s latest ‘research’ has ‘deduced’ that Cathar / Fredd = “Suzette the Whippette”.
He states: “If Bates agrees to sign-up then so too will the poster on Stormfront who is posting there under the pseudonym of “Cathar” since it is now blatantly obvious to anyone who is familiar with Suzette “Whippette” Bates that it is her who is operating this handle.”
But, unlike Suzette, Cathar is a French speaker, and doesn’t live in California. Suzette doesn’t agree with me on all the issues, like which people are plants and agent provocateurs. And I don’t think she posts to forums very much at the moment. Another brilliant theory of Kerr’s bites the dust.
It’s consistent with all his other claims; I lose count of how many people he’s ‘deduced’ I was supposed to be. In fact, once when Jim Kerr had claimed I was someone else, I emailed the person saying: “There’s good news and bad news. The bad news is there’s some nut on the internet who thinks you’re me, and he’s said he wants to ‘punch your lights out’. The good news is he’s apparently got only one arm, and rarely travels.”
Kerr writes: “…while Jews remain at liberty to post their disgusting filth about Jesus Christ.”
Absolutely hilarious! This is the same Jim Kerr who, when he thought it would help him to attack a rival poster on some forum, posted a blasphemous, pornographic image of two “Christs” performing a sexual act, on the front page of his websites for months. Now, we find that he’s reinvented himself as a “Christian”.
Similarly, he writes: “Brendon my friend, my brother in Christ, may God be with you.” ROTFLOL!
Speaking of going through new phases, even Kerr managed to come up with a funny comment once when he wrote to the effect of: “Believe me, there are some more phases that I would very much like Poseidon to go through!” The word “phases” had a link to a page about three-phase mains electricity!
Publishing the email addresses of his enemies is typical of Kerr’s “ethics”.
Maybe it’s time to stop feeding these trolls once and for all.
Here are the oddballs who Brendon O'Connell decided to team up with:
Jim "Quo" Kerr
Michael "Fugazi" Stewart
In Brendon's "Weekly Show Introduction - Part 1" video, he talked (1:15) about how he was "teaming up with FugaziQuo Productions", going on to say that he'd had "a bit of an altercation" with them a couple of years ago.
Even though they were supposedly "enemies" until late in 2008, it was September 27, 2007 that Brendon O'Connell turned up at the home of Crimes of Zion with his camcorder, ranting and raving and attempting to 'expose' him as a "Jewish shill". However, as of 2007, it was Jim Kerr of FugaziQuo who was the source of allegations that Crimes of Zion / Infensus Mentis was a "Jewish shill". So it's odd that O'Connell would take his cue from his "enemy" and trust his 'research' at that time.
The fact that O'Connell declared that I needed a "bullet", around the same time, when I was the enemy of his "enemy" Kerr, could be explained by the fact that in April 2007 Eric Hufschmid had alleged I was a "Crypto-Zionist". But Hufschmid never made any allegations against Crimes of Zion.
The fight between O'Connell and Kerr / Stewart, all admirers of agent provocateur and truth saboteur Eric "Murdoch" Hufschmid, looks to have been faked. Kerr and Stewart's job includes acting as agent provocateurs on internet forums:
Note in the above comment by Kerr posted at the WakeUpFromYourSlumber forum, he not only threatened to "punch ('my') lights out", but called Brendon O'Connell a "sack of scum"! Of course, at that time Kerr was promoting one of his disinformation campaigns or hare-brained 'theories' that "Poseidon = Peter Wakefield Sault", a claim that was readily debunked (see cache if site is down).
And Kerr is independently recognised as, at best, a bumbling 'investigator' in the style of Inspector Clouseau:
Hilariously, the "Investigations" section of the fugaziquo.com website actually carries an image of Clouseau. Talk about chutzpah!
In November 2007, Jim Kerr emailed Eric Hufschmid asking if he could publish personal details of Suzette the Whippette that Hufschmid had divulged to him, and Hufschmid, the rat, agreed.
Betraying a White woman who was a former associate by divulging her personal information is the type of act more indicative of Jewish supremacist 'ethics' than those of honest Whites toiling to fight injustices. And now Kerr has come up with a new 'theory' in which Cathar is alleged to be "Suzette"!
Maybe O'Connell's "anti-Judaic" rants are also part of a deception. Or perhaps he got in with the wrong crowd.
In the event that Brendon is a sincere exposer of Jewish crimes but just gets his facts wrong at times (e.g. when assuming Crimes of Zion was a "Jewish agent"), it would be a gross injustice were he to be sent to jail for an occasion in which he does tell the truth. The irony is that if he is a plant he would deserve jail, but would most likely go up before a Jewish judge and either escape with minimal punishment, or would be allowed to jump bail ... as happened in a similar case in June 2007. But it's clear that Brendon has got mixed up with some very dubious people, who may prove to be his undoing.
Brendon (Lee) O’Connell posted as truebeliever at clubconspiracy.com from 11-28-2005 to 03-31-2008 (joined January 2005). His posts may be searched for here:
As early as 11-28-05 he posted about “Leon who works for Oz Defence Industries”, saying that he went to a friend’s house where “he and my good Zionist Submarine programmer ‘Leon’ had just got back from an airshow. Leon was wearing a shirt with an all seeing eye on it”.
The very next day, he posted: “Thanx to the great laws I could sell ENDLESS pounds of high quality ‘White Widow’ weed at $3200 a pound wholesale. [...] I attended a get together not long after I was busted. A couple of the aforementioned ‘lackeys’ were their (sic).”
On 12-02-05 he posted: “I happen to like drugs. Meth is my drug of choice…”
On 07-19-06, in response to a news article about a Kabbalah-linked woman and her three sons who had been arrested over a $2 million hydroponic marijuana operation in three houses in the northern suburbs of Sydney, O’Connell posted: “HA! Amatures! (sic) Mine was described as a ‘marijuana factory’ in both print, television and radio media.”
On 07-26-07, after a poster had said he didn’t think very much of pot growers and drug dealers, and that it was rather surprising behavior from one who professed to be a “Christian”, O’Connell posted: “That was in the past. I got off lightly because I was glad it was over…genuinely.” So how did he show his “genuine remorse” - by agreeing to work as a plant or police informant starting in 2004, after he was sentenced in June 2003? Brendon continued with: “…when you are selling $5000 a week you are not selling to nice consenting adults”, and boasted: “Still, I was the best grower and cuttings suplier (sic) in town.”
On 07-29-07 in the same thread, O’Connell tells us: “I grew mainly ‘White Widow’ from Amsterdam. VERY dense and heavy bud with a ‘crystaline’ shiny coating when dried naturally. The smoke was smooth and the high pleasant and not so drowsy.” He carries on, in too much detail for a casual BS artist: “Regarding growing…If done carefully and quietly no one ever gets caught. Their (sic) is no need for LARGE operations. A small 2 square meter set up with three 600w lamps will snare $30,000 a year - wholesale. Carbon filters are a must to keep the smell down…this was my downfall. I got lazy and that is how people get caught.” O’Connell says on that thread that he met Senator Chris Ellison of the Feds at a public meeting.
On 08-10-06 Brendon says, in a thread about hash, “I dry it slow”.
On 02-16-07 in the “Where’s TB?” thread, there is an amusing entry by “DarkoExposer” (Jim Kerr) who “exposes” truebeliever at clubconspiracy.com as being DonnieDarko from the NOLAJBS forum.
At the now defunct WakeUpFromYourSlumber.Com, Brendon posted about his drug dealing past: “The judge described it as a ‘marijuana factory’. Indeed it was. Many people know about this because I speak openly about all over the web.” Yes, for example, at clubconspiracy.com and the now defunct Liberty forum.
O’Connell has also boasted about his earnings in his final year as a dealer up to June 2003, both verbally, and on the net at Liberty forum. The figures mentioned were in the region of A$180-200 grand.
Hence, it may be deduced that Brendon O’Connell was either a major drug dealer / grower or a major liar / deceiver with a carefully constructed script. Either way, he hardly qualifies as a worthy martyr or an appropriate role model for Christians, anti-Zionists, or crimefighters. And his attacks on genuine anti-Zionists, his attempts to set them up as “terrorists” by exhorting them to videotape military installations, his getting into public confrontations with Jews allowing them to cry “anti-Semitism”, and his association with a man whom he claimed to regard as a “sociopath” and a “fruit cake” and with Photoshop propagandists / disinformation agents who promote “no planes”, “WTC had a concrete core”, etc, renders his motives highly suspect.
Brendon said that he’d already been charged and sentenced in 2003. His posts about drugs could have been part of a plea bargaining deal. Although if he was meant to be working with the authorities in trying to dissuade would-be dealers, writing about potential earnings of $30,000 and upwards is a strange way of going about it.
In support of the fantasist interpretation, we have the fact that Brendon told Infensus Mentis that he’d single-handedly beaten up six South African boxers in a nightclub. And there is no evidence of any news reports of “Brendon O’Connell the big bad drug dealer” getting busted for running a “marijuana factory”, unless Brendon can provide a reference.
Similarly, Jim Kerr claims to have been a “one-armed electrician” who had been “able to retire at age 45″. That, on its face, is ridiculous enough. Kerr and O’Connell each appear to have some deep-rooted mental problems unique to them. Each probably perceives himself as “normal”, yet O’Connell was one of the first to recognize Kerr as a “fruit cake” and a “sociopath”.
A Google search for Brendon’s Yahoo email address shows some interesting results. At 911oz.com he posted as QuoVeritas until November 3, 2008. Then, in January 2009, he posted as davidstevens, and gives his name as “David King” (as is seen below). He frequently got into arguments with another handle killtheterrorists who started posting and got banned just about the same time as davidstevens, and who in all probability is another O’Connell handle.
Amusingly, davidstevens kept offering to provide killtheterrorists with “help” for his mental problems! In the visitor messages for killtheterrorists, davidstevens says:
24 Jan 2009 05:30 PM davidstevens I put to you if you want to defend “judaism” you are sick. Mentally ill.
Contact me on docolover(deleted) and I can see about organizing some help if you will take it.
God Bless.
David King.
On 13 January 2009, davidstevens is critical of “Quo”, his alter ego, saying that “Quo was a hurricane with zero finesse. He is like a street fighter when what is needed is some restraint and patience. He epitomises what we DONT need right now although there can be a place for shock therapy.” In that thread, “Stevens/King” describes himself as “semi-retired”, and when asked his location, responds with “Perth, then North Queensland then Perth, then Darwin, then Perth, then Sydney and now Perth again.”
Brendon changes his style, e.g. no smilies, for his other handles, just like the WakeUpFromYourSlumber poster Fester, for example, deliberately attempted to make his lotus handle appear like it wasn’t Fester.
The more likely paid shills are Quasimodo and Michael Stewart. They have skills in Photoshopping and video editing, and have been seen promoting disinformation. E.g. Quasimodo promotes the CIA’s “no planes”, and “Fugazi” Stewart tried to sell the Christophera “WTC concrete core” disinfo at WakeUpFromYourSlumber.Com in the summer of 2007.
Yet this disinformation is all that Stewart and Quasimodo have to say on 9/11, the crime of the century. We hear not a peep from Kerr, Stewart and Quasimodo about unexploded nano-thermite, or the reams of evidence implicating the Mossad and Israel. At least, Brendon has posted about the Mossad. Simply saying that “Israel/Jews did 9/11″ without providing evidence serves as a strawman that can be easily knocked down as “anti-Semitism”. And then these people have the chutzpah to accuse Alex Jones of being a “Zionist shill” when he actually does provide some useful info about the WTC demolitions, even though he sometimes talks rubbish such as “the Arabs own Hollywood”.
Maybe Jim Kerr will claim that someone had been impersonating Brendon for years, which would be a characteristic about-turn from his “exposing” of truebeliever = DonnieDarko = QuoVadius = QuoVadis = Brendon O’Connell (= QuoTodt), and even = Linton = Infensus Mentis = Fester = Lord Sidious = possibly Proemio = possibly Quasimodo. Consistency, like math*, and like getting people to like him, is not Kerr’s forte!
*Kerr once derived a quantitative conclusion from qualitative premises, which is like expecting garbage in, non-garbage out. Because one source had talked about “most” of Perth’s Jews being in the vicinity of Mount Lawley, Kerr had concluded that the Mount Lawley district was comprised of “60% Jews”. He was nearly two orders of magnitude out from the correct figure as given in a Census, which was less than 1%. When pulled up on this, he claimed he’d made a “mathematical error”, and revised his figure to 30%, still highly inaccurate. Then there was the time Kerr had the nerve to claim that I was “lying” about the proportion of Jews in Manchester. Kerr had misinterpreted his source, and got a different result.
The real shills love to have the likes of O’Connell and Kerr serving as their useful idiots. Eric Hufschmid, for a change, is spot on when he says that the Zionists use people who have something wrong with them.
If Brendon O’Connell and Jim Kerr want to salvage their reputations as sincere anti-Zionists and justice seekers with good intentions, they should break away from shills such as Stewart, Quasimodo and Hufschmid, and start listening to honest truth seekers. But, to paraphrase from King Crimson’s Epitaph, I fear tomorrow they’ll be crying.

On 07-19-06, in response to a news article about a Kabbalah-linked woman and her three sons who had been arrested over a $2 million hydroponic marijuana operation in three houses in the northern suburbs of Sydney, O'Connell posted:

On 07-26-06, after a poster had said he didn't think very much of pot growers and drug dealers, and that it was rather surprising behavior from one who professed to be a "Christian", O'Connell posted:

So how did he show his "genuine remorse" - by agreeing to work as a plant or police informant starting in 2004, after he was sentenced in June 2003 and "got off lightly"? Brendon continued with: "...when you are selling $5000 a week you are not selling to nice consenting adults", and boasted: "Still, I was the best grower and cuttings suplier (sic) in town."
On 07-29-06 in the same thread, O'Connell tells us:

He carries on, in too much detail for a casual BS artist:

I got lazy and that is how people get caught.
O'Connell says on that thread that he met Senator Chris Ellison of the Feds at a public meeting.
On 08-10-06 Brendon says, in a thread about hash, "I dry it slow".
On 02-16-07 in the "Where's TB?" thread, there is an amusing entry by "DarkoExposer" (Jim Kerr) who "exposes" truebeliever at clubconspiracy.com as being DonnieDarko from the NOLAJBS forum.
At the now defunct WakeUpFromYourSlumber.Com, Brendon posted about his drug dealing past: "The judge described it as a 'marijuana factory'. Indeed it was. Many people know about this because I speak openly about all over the web." Yes, for example, at clubconspiracy.com and the now defunct Liberty forum.
O'Connell has also boasted about his earnings in his final year as a dealer up to June 2003, both verbally, and on the net at Liberty forum. The figures mentioned were in the region of A$180-200 grand.
Hence, it may be deduced that Brendon O'Connell was either a major drug dealer / grower or a major liar / deceiver with a carefully constructed script. Either way, he hardly qualifies as a worthy martyr or an appropriate role model for Christians, anti-Zionists, or crimefighters.
That's all before we take into account how his motives have been rendered highly suspect by his attacks on genuine anti-Zionists, his attempts to set them up as "terrorists" by urging them to videotape military bases, his getting into public confrontations with Jews allowing them to cry "anti-Semitism" (as Herzl admitted was desirable for Zionism), and his association with a man (Jim "PlanetQuo" Kerr) whom he (as QuoVadius at NOLAJBS) claimed to regard as a "sociopath" and "P-U-R-E fruit cake" and with Photoshop propagandists / disinformation agents who promote "no planes", "WTC had a concrete core", etc.
========= In my post above, we deduce there are two possibilities: 1) Brendon O'Connell the big bad ex-drug dealer, and 2) Brendon O'Connell the liar / fantasist.
1) was an intriguing idea, that O'Connell had been sentenced in 2003 and forced into some kind of plea bargain in which he would serve Zionist interests by acting as agent provocateur, initially on the internet (from 2004), and later on the streets. However, if he was supposed to be working with the authorities, e.g. in trying to dissuade would-be drug dealers, then writing about potential earnings of $30,000 and upwards is a strange way of going about it.
In support of 2), the fantasist interpretation, we have the fact that Brendon told the poster Infensus Mentis aka Crimes of Zion that he’d single-handedly beaten up six South African boxers in a nightclub. And there is no evidence of any news reports of “Brendon O’Connell the big bad drug dealer” getting busted for running a “marijuana factory”, unless Brendon can provide a reference. I recall Brendon claiming that he was connected with the vice trade, although unfortunately Liberty forum went down.
Similarly, Jim PlanetQuo (now simply Quo of FugaziQuo) Kerr claims to have been a “one-armed electrician” who had been “able to retire at age 45″. That, on its face, is ridiculous enough. Kerr and O’Connell each appear to have some deep-rooted mental problems unique to them. Each probably perceives himself as “normal”, yet O’Connell was one of the first to recognize Kerr as a “fruit cake” and a “sociopath”.
A Google search for Brendon’s Yahoo email address shows some interesting results. At 911oz.com he posted as QuoVeritas until November 3, 2008. Then, in January 2009, he posted as davidstevens, and gives his name as “David King” (as is seen below). He frequently got into arguments with another handle killtheterrorists who started posting and got banned just about the same time as davidstevens, and who in all probability is another O’Connell handle.
Amusingly, davidstevens kept offering to provide killtheterrorists with “help” for his mental problems! In the visitor messages for killtheterrorists, davidstevens says:

Anyone familiar with O'Connell's posts will be able to read through the posts of davidstevens and see that it is O'Connell, although "Stevens / King" tries to cover up by avoiding Brendon's use of smilies. Rather like the WakeUpFromYourSlumber.Com poster Fester tried to adopt another persona as lotus. It looks like that visitor message of January 24, 2009, was the last straw for the admins / mods of 911oz.com, since both davidstevens and killtheterrorists were banned very shortly after davidstevens made the mistake of posting his (Brendon's) docolover email address and revealing his identity. To summarize:
killtheterrorists joined January 7, 2009, last activity January 25, 2009. davidstevens joined January 12, 2009, last activity January 26, 2009. Both accounts banned (@911oz.com). killtheterrorists posts deleted; davidstevens posts still searchable.
On 13 January 2009, davidstevens is critical of QuoVeritas his alter ego, saying that “Quo was a hurricane with zero finesse. He is like a street fighter when what is needed is some restraint and patience. He epitomises what we DONT need right now although there can be a place for shock therapy.” In that thread, “Stevens/King” describes himself as “semi-retired”, and when asked his location, responds with “Perth, then North Queensland then Perth, then Darwin, then Perth, then Sydney and now Perth again.”
On January 24, 2009, davidstevens has a bit of an altercation with his controlled 'opposition' / sockpuppet / pseudo-Jew killtheterrorists who engages in ad hominem attacks, and davidstevens responds:

O'Connell and Kerr are very similar characters. Like a fireman who starts fires or 'fights' them with gasoline, they thrive on attention and love the thrill of being in the thick of their internet battles - or street confrontations, as O'Connell is so keen to point out his superiority over mere "key board kommando's" (sic). Their lonely, mundane lives fuel such a need to get people to like them, that they will even create a strawman sockpuppet who will play the role of the "villainous Jew" so that their principal handle might win admiration for standing up to the enemy.
O'Connell and Kerr originally met when they got involved in fights at the NOLAJBS forum in late 2006 - early 2007 as DonnieDarko / QuoVadius and PlanetQuo respectively. Originally, Kerr suspected O'Connell of being a "Zionist operative" and O'Connell suspected Kerr of being a sociopath and a fruitcake. In late 2008 they settled their differences, although that preceded O'Connell's 2009 sockpuppet antics as detailed above. Now O'Connell emails Kerr and has his videos backed up on Kerr's (and Michael Fugazi Stewart's ) website.
They do not seem motivated by money, and do not match the profile of paid shills. However, these characters provide an excellent example of how Zionist shills could set up unstable individuals as "useful idiots". They would befriend them, encourage their fights, tell them they admire their work, provide some "important information" that they could "release" (e.g. Verint in Sydney), and mislead them into imagining the Hufschmidesque perverted 'reality' that declares the good guys to be "Zionist shills" and the shills to be the good guys. The useful idiots would then go around muddying the waters, calling honest truth seekers "Jew-shills", etc, and would be sincere in their delusions.
O'Connell does appear sincere and seems to perceive himself as an "anti-Judaic" and "Christian warrior". Kerr seems to have little or no interest in improving the world. Both share a keen interest in their 'hobby' of battles, with Kerr remaining online and O'Connell taking it to the streets.
There are several important advantages for the Zionists in manipulating useful idiots to serve as "shills". It's more economical than paid shills (an important plus for Jews ), and avoids the problem of what to do with those who turn down an offer or defect.
So who are the paid shills who manipulate O'Connell and Kerr? Likely suspects include Michael Fugazi Stewart and the American poster Quasimodo, both long-time working partners of Kerr, and Eric "Murdoch" Hufschmid who is known to have been in email correspondence with O'Connell and Kerr for years. Quasimodo has Photoshopping (propaganda) skills, and was caught peddling the CIA's "no planes" disinformation and recognized as a shill by astute posters as early as September 2006 . Michael Fugazi Stewart has video editing skills, and tried to sell the Christopher A. Christophera Brown “WTC concrete core” hoax at WakeUpFromYourSlumber.Com in the summer of 2007. Yet this disinformation is all that Stewart and Quasimodo have to say on 9/11, the crime of the century. We hear not a peep from Stewart and Quasimodo about unexploded nano-thermite, or the reams of evidence implicating the Mossad and Israel.
At least, Brendon has posted about the Mossad. Simply saying that “Israel/Jews did 9/11″ without providing evidence serves as a strawman that can be easily knocked down as “anti-Semitism”. The last thing the Zionists want is for the evidence against them to be compiled like this.
It seems that Brendon doesn't want to fight the charges against him, and his motivation is to become a martyr. Yet, a successful conviction and jail sentence against a "hater" and "anti-Semite" would mean victory for the Judaics, the worst-case scenario. Rather than this, the judge should allow for Brendon's mental state as mitigation, as it is clear that Brendon does not deserve to go to jail. In the best case scenario, Brendon O’Connell would take on the Judaics and win, and he and Jim Kerr would salvage their reputations as sincere anti-Zionists and justice seekers with good intentions by breaking away from shills such as Stewart, Quasimodo and Hufschmid, and start listening to honest truth seekers. But, to paraphrase from King Crimson’s Epitaph, I fear tomorrow they’ll be crying.
=========
1) Brendon O'Connell is demonstrably either a major criminal or a compulsive liar. Since no evidence of Brendon being a drug grower / dealer exists, it is almost certain that he is a compulsive liar.
2) How do you know that "Leon Wende the Mossad agent" isn't simply a figment of his imagination? And who is going to take seriously allegations emanating from an "anti-Semitic" criminal or fantasist? Does the following look like it was written by a serious researcher, or a paranoid fantasist with delusions of grandeur?
Quote:
Do the mossad regulary expose themselves?
3) They get caught quite frequently. But why would a Mossad agent reveal himself to Brendon O'Connell?
As for "you jews", jews are more likely to promote disinfo than debunk it.
The evidence indicates that Brendon O'Connell is rather like Sam Danner: a fantasist who wants his "bit of glory". The Jews are only too pleased to exploit people like this for their own ends, aided by Eric "Murdoch" Hufschmid. A few truebelievers are duped into imagining that O'Connell has "exposed" something, the Jews are able to cry "anti-Semitism" without having to vandalize their own graves, draw swastikas on their walls or clothes or poison their dogs, and anti-Zionists who expose the crimes of Israel are cast as delusional anti-Semites...
Brendon said that he’d already been charged and sentenced in 2003. His posts about drugs could have been part of a plea bargaining deal. Although if he was meant to be working with the authorities in trying to dissuade would-be dealers, writing about potential earnings of $30,000 and upwards is a strange way of going about it.
In support of the fantasist interpretation, we have the fact that Brendon told Infensus Mentis that he’d single-handedly beaten up six South African boxers in a nightclub. And there is no evidence of any news reports of “Brendon O’Connell the big bad drug dealer” getting busted for running a “marijuana factory”, unless Brendon can provide a reference.

On 13 January 2009, davidstevens is critical of “Quo”, his alter ego, saying that “Quo was a hurricane with zero finesse. He is like a street fighter when what is needed is some restraint and patience. He epitomises what we DONT need right now although there can be a place for shock therapy.” In that thread, “Stevens/King” describes himself as “semi-retired”, and when asked his location, responds with “Perth, then North Queensland then Perth, then Darwin, then Perth, then Sydney and now Perth again.”
Brendon changes his style, e.g. no smilies, for his other handles, just like the WakeUpFromYourSlumber poster Fester, for example, deliberately attempted to make his lotus handle appear like it wasn’t Fester.
The more likely paid shills are Quasimodo and Michael Stewart. They have skills in Photoshopping and video editing, and have been seen promoting disinformation. E.g. Quasimodo promotes the CIA’s “no planes”, and “Fugazi” Stewart tried to sell the Christophera “WTC concrete core” disinfo at WakeUpFromYourSlumber.Com in the summer of 2007.
Yet this disinformation is all that Stewart and Quasimodo have to say on 9/11, the crime of the century. We hear not a peep from Kerr, Stewart and Quasimodo about unexploded nano-thermite, or the reams of evidence implicating the Mossad and Israel. At least, Brendon has posted about the Mossad. Simply saying that “Israel/Jews did 9/11″ without providing evidence serves as a strawman that can be easily knocked down as “anti-Semitism”. And then these people have the chutzpah to accuse Alex Jones of being a “Zionist shill” when he actually does provide some useful info about the WTC demolitions, even though he sometimes talks rubbish such as “the Arabs own Hollywood”.
Maybe Jim Kerr will claim that someone had been impersonating Brendon for years, which would be a characteristic about-turn from his “exposing” of truebeliever = DonnieDarko = QuoVadius = QuoVadis = Brendon O’Connell (= QuoTodt), and even = Linton = Infensus Mentis = Fester = Lord Sidious = possibly Proemio = possibly Quasimodo. Consistency, like math*, and like getting people to like him, is not Kerr’s forte!
*Kerr once derived a quantitative conclusion from qualitative premises, which is like expecting garbage in, non-garbage out. Because one source had talked about “most” of Perth’s Jews being in the vicinity of Mount Lawley, Kerr had concluded that the Mount Lawley district was comprised of “60% Jews”. He was nearly two orders of magnitude out from the correct figure as given in a Census, which was less than 1%. When pulled up on this, he claimed he’d made a “mathematical error”, and revised his figure to 30%, still highly inaccurate. Then there was the time Kerr had the nerve to claim that I was “lying” about the proportion of Jews in Manchester. Kerr had misinterpreted his source, and got a different result.
The real shills love to have the likes of O’Connell and Kerr serving as their useful idiots. Eric Hufschmid, for a change, is spot on when he says that the Zionists use people who have something wrong with them.
If Brendon O’Connell and Jim Kerr want to salvage their reputations as sincere anti-Zionists and justice seekers with good intentions, they should break away from shills such as Stewart, Quasimodo and Hufschmid, and start listening to honest truth seekers. But, to paraphrase from King Crimson’s Epitaph, I fear tomorrow they’ll be crying.
============
Here is my latest page on the Brendon O’Connell saga, the title having been inspired by the Steve Johnson / Lloyd T. Vance article:
Brendon O’Connell: Analysis of a so-called “Truth Teller”
Since Brendon has stated on numerous occasions that he was a major drug grower / dealer, he is demonstrably either a major criminal or a compulsive liar, as proven by the screenshots and links at the above page. However, there is no evidence of him having been convicted of major drug offenses, he has been a prolific internet poster for five years attempting to make a name for himself - indeed, frequently stating “my name is Brendon O’Connell”, and it is only now that he has hit the news for “race hate” crimes. So he is almost certainly a compulsive liar - whether a delusional megalomaniac or merely a BS artist who loves stirring up trouble. This is supported by his barrage of unsupported allegations such as brake lines cut, farm animals killed and tasered, communications hacked, property damaged, and friends stalked - supposedly because he is such a “threat” to the Judaics.
A compulsive liar cannot be trusted as a “truth teller”. The disinformation agent, whether paid shill or useful idiot, tarnishes the truth by mixing in lies. O’Connell, who would willingly go to jail as a “martyr” if it gets him his fifteen minutes of fame, is another Sam Danner who wants his “bit of glory”. And, as in the case of Danner, we find that Eric “Murdoch” Hufschmid is pulling the strings.
O’Connell’s associate Jim Kerr is also being manipulated and influenced by Hufschmid (as evidenced by his parroting of Hufschmid’s brand of “truth”), even though such Zionist tools are probably not even aware of how they are being exploited. Brendon O’Connell and Jim Kerr are the Laurel and Hardy of the anti-Zionist movement.
Poseiden of takeourworldback is a Jew or agent of the Jews. He works with Eric Hufschmid. For more information about Hufschmid and Poseiden go to www.ehexposed.wordpress.com
Firstly, I neither "work with" nor support Eric Hufschmid. And I am not "a Jew" or an "agent of the Jews". But let's turn the spotlight on the author of the above link.
The writer of the deceptive ehexposed article, which is designed to appear as if it were written by a blithering idiot, implies that I am suspect because my site takeourworldback.com appeared in a screenshot on CNN (from early 2007), along with iamthewitness.com (which was then administered by Hufschmid). The writer speculates:
Quote:
It is possible that Hufschmid admitted to his sister’s relationship with Murdoch after it appeared on www.takeourworldback.com.
It is also possible that pigs might fly, were they to grow wings. No, I didn't expose Hufschmid's connection with Murdoch. He had already admitted it himself. See this page from Hufschmid's site, archived by the Internet Wayback Machine on August 20, 2004. My domain takeourworldback.com was created on December 29, 2005.
The 'writer' continues:
Quote:
It is my belief that Hufschmid and "Poseiden" of www.takeourworldback.com and are in it together. Let us take a look at a Stormfront thread (click here) from "Poseiden" of www.takeourworldback.com where he claima that Brendon O’connell and a host of other people are “Zionist agents.” Read the thread and see how little evidence Poseiden has for his accusations. Do not fall into the trap of trusting him because he tells you a little bit of truth that you have not seen somewhere else. These Jews and Jew agents build eachother up and tear eacother down as part of their disinformation campaign. These Jews and/or Jew puppets only tell some truth so they can lie to you later. The thread speaks for itself. I see no reason to explain it all to you. Poseiden’s tactics are fairly transparent. He is an evil, lying Jew or agent of world Jewry. Read it yourself and see what kind of garbage Poseiden is.
The author incorrectly argues that I have little evidence for my assertions, demonstrating that he either does not know the meaning of the word "evidence", or, more likely, is practising the time-honored Jewish deception of projecting their own guilt and inadequacies onto their opponents. Observe the classic disinformation tactic of mixing good info (Hufschmid is a Zionist shill because he says Zundel, Toben, etc, are Zionist tools) with bad (Poseidon is an evil, lying Jew or agent of world Jewry).
But here's where it gets interesting. The author really shows himself in his true colors, in a comment posted to anarchore's Ziofascism blog [my emphasis]:
Quote:
Fredd you are part of the problem. You are a Jew. The Problem is not Zionism, it is all of you. Posdeiden and Hufschmid work together and you are possibly in it too. Calling people shills is what Hufschmid and Poseden are all about. These Jews/agents build eachother up and tear eachother down as part of their disinformation campaign. You are a piece of garbage and Hufschmid does work for the Jews, this is not a strawman, it is a fact that is clear to anyone who can think. It is also very clear that Poseiden works for the Jew too. Let us look at some facts here. Hufschmid’s sister is married to Rupert Murdoch’son. Hufschmid appeared on CNN, which advertised Poseiden’s site. You know that Hufschmid and Poseiden were in on that together. Hufschmid has accused three men of being “Zionist Agents” who spent anywhere from several months to several years in jail for “denying the holocaust.” I need not argue that Hufschmid works for the Jews, but it certainly looks like Poseiden does too. I have seen a Stormfront thread where Poseiden tells a person who speak to Mike Delaney, who speaks to Hufschmid, that he is a “Zionist AGent.” Don’t you call that flimsy evidence? Poseiden and hufschmid are working together and I suspect you are either a Jewish cheeleader or part of it yourself. Then you call me a f*!&ing Jew. Where the f*!$ is your evidence? You have less evidence fo that than any of Hufschmid’s claims. You are a Jew and all Jews should be killed, tortured and killed, and you know it. If you are a good Jew, as you say, do what OTTO Weinberger did and kill yourself. And to you Winky, or whatever the f&!* your name is who runs this blog, if you don’t post this comment, than I know what you are too. “Zio-fascism” you say, what a f*!$ing joke. The problem is the Jews, all of them. The only way to solve the Jewish problem is to start killing Jews and everyone who serves them. Do you hear that Fred. No-one believe your bullsh*t. You are a Jew.
It's fairly clear that this poster is the writer of the ehexposed piece. It's also clear that Stormfront should have nothing to do with this "all Jews should be tortured and killed" nonsense, which almost certainly is of Jewish origin and designed to discredit genuine WNs, anti-Zionists and well-meaning folk. I would recommend that Stormfront ban any posters found to be advocating that "all Jews (or any race or religion) should be killed / tortured". Don Black didn't start this forum only for kosher "Nazis" or idiots to provide the Jews with the "anti-Semitism" that they so desperately require.
And it goes without saying that any half-baked speculations advanced by the "kill all Jews" poster are the product of an unhinged mind.
Finally, it's worth noting that the "kill all Jews" poster's most frequent misspelling "Poseiden" matches that of Brendon O'Connell.
Poseidon wrote: ...far from Jews and the Murdoch family being infuriated by the antics of Brendon O'Connell, all the evidence shows that they are delighted to have him as a member of their team.
It is established that Eric Hufschmid, the self-styled 'anti-Zionist' part Jewishhalf-brother of a $9 billion Zionist media empire heiress, works for Jewish interests by posting nonsense such as "Ernst Zundel / Ingrid Rimland / Frederick Toben / Germar Rudolf are Crypto-Zionist agents / tools / blackmail victims", and "White supremacists are controlled by Zionist Jews" and "Dr David Duke is a liar / white trash / works for Zionist Jews" and "99% of 9/11 truth seekers" are "part of the Zionist criminal network", etc. The Hufschmid-Murdoch cointelpro operation attempts to counter historical revisionism, 9/11 truth, white nationalism, anti-Zionism and anti-Judaism. So movements that should, and deserve to be, supported by anyone who believes in truth, justice, utilitarianism and the White race are countered by a criminally corrupt minority.
Brendon O'Connell is a keen, longtime supporter of Hufschmid, and has frequently collaborated with him. For example, Hufschmid forwarded to Jim Kerr (q.v. below), former webmaster of PlanetQuo.net, an email that he had received from O'Connell complaining about Hufschmid's support for Kerr:
O'Connell said that Kerr was "P-U-R-E fruit cake" and a "sociopath", and - as seen above - tried to convince their mutual friend Hufschmid that Kerr was not to be trusted. Kerr, in his turn, spent nearly two years attempting to convince people that O’Connell was a "Zionist Operative", a "proven liar and deceiver", and that "Brendon O’Connell, however, does not actually exist - except in the vivid imagination of Jamie Linton a.k.a. Crimes of Zion".
Brendon, as QuoVadius, confirms he is part of Hufschmid's "helpers department" in a post to the NOLAJBS forum (readers may need to register there in order to view the source):
Recently, Brendon O'Connell confirmed that he is working with the FugaziQuo outfit.
On O'Connell's "Weekly Show Introduction - Part 1" video, at 1:15 he talked about how he would be "teaming up with FugaziQuo Productions", saying that he "had a bit of an altercation" with them a couple of years ago.
FugaziQuo includes Michael Stewart who used the Fugazi handle, and Jim Kerr, formerly known as PlanetQuo. Kerr dropped the "Planet-" prefix after trashing the PlanetQuo brand in which they posed as "anti-Zionists". Nowadays, both Kerr and Stewart use the FugaziQuo handle. They had to reinvent themselves as "Christians" and "anti-Judaics".
Here it gets interesting when we find that Michael Stewart is very heavily involved with Eric Hufschmid. On or around August 12, 2007, Stewart of Queensland, Australia, posted (as “Michael”) a blog entry at the WakeUpFromYourSlumber.Com forum entitled The god of the ocean can’t swim. This provides us with some rather revealing evidence...
In his blog, Stewart said:
For example, and Eric will attest to this, Jim and I had set out to promote the audio files and Eric’s book en-masse and I actually spent 3 months solid creating commercial quality CD’s of every single audio file done to the date when I stopped complete with professional CD covers containing every bit of information about each file which are available in a DVD data disc that also contains DVD covers and stacks more. In other words with this one disc you can create an entire archive all presentable in a professional manner deserving of its content.
That originated from the hyperlink in Michael’s above paragraph, "professional manner". Unfortunately for the FugaziQuo team, this is from a copy that I saved, so they cannot bury this evidence. Or click here for a single still image.
So we are supposed to believe that Stewart, an unemployed Australian who devotes most of his energy to slandering anti-Zionists or pro-Whites as "Zionist agents" and peddling other obvious disinformation, was an "unpaid volunteer" who was making all these DVDs and CDs of Hufschmid and Smith’s work out of the kindness of his heart? Pull the other one!
In the comments section, see the comment by Michael in which he asserts that Linton aka Infensus Mentis or Crimes of Zionis O’Connell, and then claims it to be a "fact" rather than an assertion.
One of the CD-ROMs distributed by Hufschmid contained what is described as "hard core porn", and this was admitted by Jim Kerr in July 2007, which was when Kerr was playing the role of a straw man 'opposition' to his mate Hufschmid. The images at the previous link show that Hufschmid’s CD ROM had directories of his 'work' including images on 9/11, Video-Audio of Hufschmid, old Hufschmid reports, and material on the so-called "Apollo hoax", Columbine, "global warming", "Sheeple Psychology", etc.
In the CD ROM’s "Internet pages" directory, it can be seen that there is a sub-directory "Piper", and in "Old Reports", there are images of Piper and Duke that Hufschmid uses for his smear campaign against them. He even has a folder on Daryl Bradford Smith, although this was from when they were supposedly friends. There is the sub-directory "Axis of Perverts", and within that another sub-directory "MaxHardCore".
Stewart promoted the Christopher A. Christophera Brown disinformation “WTC had a concrete core; FEMA / NIST construction plans were part of the conspiracy”. Stewart also tried to suggest that the Culinary Institute of America was the Central Intelligence Agency, and when found out, tried to worm his way out with a lame statement about how “all leads should be followed up”.
Another O’Connell associate, who also works for FugaziQuo.Com, is the American known as Quasimodo, who was caught on September 19, 2006 peddling the preposterous "TV fakery / no planes hit the WTC" disinformation that is promoted by 'ex'-CIA characters. Even back then in 2006, several astute posters recognized Quasimodo as a Zionist disinformation agent. He has Photoshopping skills which are employed for his character assassination propaganda.
9/11 was the crime of the century, perpetrated by Zionist terrorists. Yet we hear not a peep from Stewart and Quasimodo about it, except for when they ‘accidentally’ parrot disinformation. There is zilch from them about unexploded nano-thermite, iron spherules, and scientific proof of controlled demolitions. Go figure!
On March 29, 2007, in an email to a British teenager named Scott, Jim Kerr admitted to maintaining a close association with the infamous half-brother of the wife of billionaire Zionist Rupert Murdoch’s son James.
Kerr fits the profile of a "useful idiot" on the Hufschmid-Murdoch team, with Stewart acting as his direct handler and Hufschmid overseeing the operation. As shown earlier, as late as August 2007, Stewart was having to pose as another whack job with Kerr's bizarre delusions, pretending that he actually believed nonsense such as "Linton = O'Connell". Here's a brief summary I wrote which allows us to see how Kerr's narcissism and autistic spectrum disorder developed into a "conflating individuals" syndrome, accompanied by paranoid delusions in which his critics were "Zionist agents".
Not to be confused with the millionaire Simple Minds singer-songwriter, Jim Kerr of Sheffield aka "PlanetQuo" or "FugaziQuo" is a loser who actually admitted: "Although Poseidon does not mention and (sic) of us by name, Michael, Quasimodo and myself are the 'tinfoil brigade' to whom he refers." Kerr, a narcissistic nutjob, suffers from bizarre idiosyncrasies. More than two years ago, he had an online argument with someone who posts under multiple handles at multiple forums.
To the rest of us, it's only to be expected that some internet folk will agree with us and some will disagree. A girl called Nina persuaded a man called Smith to remove a link at his website that promoted Kerr's conspiracy theory that a forum run by a friend of Nina's called Molero was "controlled by agents". Infensus Mentis, an ally of Kerr and Nina, provided Kerr with confidential information from Nina after Kerr promised not to publish. Kerr broke his word and published anyway.
So by this point, about the time that Kerr's father regrettably died, Kerr perceived his multiple handle enemy, a guy called O'Connell, as an "agent" who was out to get him, along with Molero, Nina, Smith, and Infensus Mentis. A woman called Suzette who was allied to Kerr, decided to contact Infensus and Nina to see if they were "secret agents" as Kerr had claimed. She found they were perfectly normal and honest. Suzette became aligned with Nina and Infensus, and withdrew her support for Kerr.
Kerr became infuriated, and publicly posted a message to Suzette at his website in which he claimed he had "binned" her, when in reality it was the other way round. In the message, Kerr called Suzette a "stupid bitch/cow", told her to "go f&!* yourself", etc. I also had been corresponding with Kerr; he claimed to have loads of evidence for his 'theories'. When I found he had no evidence and saw how he had treated Suzette, I sent him a message saying that his 'theories' were far-fetched.
I was then aligned with Suzette, Nina and Infensus, against Kerr and his pal Stewart. I told Kerr that were he to attack Suzette, "our team" had an arsenal of evidence that we could use (to make him look silly).
As befits a delusional narcissist with an autistic spectrum disorder, Kerr literally interpreted "our team" as a tacit admission by me that we were part of a "team of agents" to "get" him. So now, Kerr's "agents" included Molero, O'Connell, Smith, Nina, Infensus, Suzette, and myself.
Kerr suspected many others of being "agents" - just about anyone who disagreed with him! But the amusing thing was that, from his experience with multiple handle poster O'Connell, Kerr developed a conflating individuals syndrome. He claimed Infensus was O'Connell, I was someone called debus, then I was Peter Sault and UnitedAgainstZionism, then he said Suzette was a poster called Fredd. It was all easily debunked. But in Kerr's childlike mind, the dream of agents operating under multiple handles lives on...
The above demonstrates some disadvantages incurred by the Jews when they exploit useful idiots as opposed to paid shills. The useful idiots are sincere in their delusions, believe themselves to be serving the cause of anti-Zionism / anti-Judaism / 911 Truth, etc, whilst in reality playing into the Jews' hands by sowing discord and confusion amongst their opponents with claims that genuine truth tellers are "Zionist agents", etc. But the Jews have less control over these useful idiots or loose cannons. As we see with Kerr, his conflating individuals syndrome destroyed any last vestiges of credibility he might have had amongst the anti-Zionists that he tried to court as PlanetQuo. Now reinventing himself as an "anti-Judaic" and a "Christian" under the FugaziQuo brand, he tries with little success to garner support from new prospects.
Autistic people often interpret language literally. A more recent example of Kerr interpreting language literally is in responding to my recent article on Brendon O’Connell, where I suggested that it would be rather hard for the Mossad to have all of those who defected or refused a job offer "disabled".
I said, "They couldn’t all be 'disabled', and even if they could, the disadvantage would easily outweigh the benefits gained from the loyal agents." Kerr responded with, "I suppose that employment and equal opportunity legislation would compel the Jews to employ only a small percentage of disabled persons as agents." Kerr will probably claim he was trying to be funny, but it looks like he interpreted "disabled" literally, when I was using a euphemism for "killed", "wasted", "eliminated", etc, by a Mossad "wetwork" team.
Kerr's pretension to being an "anti-Judaic" falls flat when we learn that his research partner Michael Stewart said, on 2nd June 2007 in reply to a Jewish poster:
Quote:
Voice of sanity. Thanks Chris. Your work and efforts are much valued by many of us in the field of research. Just for the record, I'm not Jewish nor do I have any Jewish "blood" (whatever that means) in my family. If I was Jewish or had any Jewish "blood" in my family line I would certainly not be ashamed to acknowledge it.
Sad that you even had to write your comment at the first place as if somehow you have to give an account of your life to those who, blinded by a perspective perpetuated by those they claim to oppose and expose, further generate the division of basic humankind.
And Kerr's credentials as a "Christian" lie in tatters, given that he has spent more than two years promoting a pornographic, blasphemous image of two "homosexual Christs" on his various websites, and harbors trivial grudges for years with no forgiveness in sight.
Understanding the situation with Jim Kerr helps us to understand the Brendon O'Connell phenomenon. And O'Connell inadvertently fueled Kerr's delusions.
Both are part of the Hufschmid-Murdoch cointelpro operation, being exploited as useful idiots to counter opposition to Jewish interests. In the case of Jim Kerr, it is easy to trace the evolution of his bizarre "conflating individuals" syndrome. O'Connell was an opponent of Kerr on a forum, and Kerr perceived him as a "Zionist agent" who was out to get him. When, in the manner of a Jew about to recite the Kol Nidre, Kerr betrayed his ally Linton by breaking his promise not to reveal confidential information supplied by Nina, Linton became a "Zionist agent". And because Kerr had discovered that O'Connell posted under multiple handles at multiple forums, and Linton and O'Connell were both based in Western Australia, and Kerr's grasp of probability theory is rather lackluster, Kerr concluded that O'Connell was Linton.
Hufschmid, Fugazi, and Andy "no planes" Quasimodo fit the profile of paid Zionist shills, who manipulated and exploited paranoid, autistic, narcissistic nutjob Jim Kerr, King of the Forum Stalkers. Brendon O’Connell appears to be more sane than Kerr, but was probably exploited as a narcissist and compulsive liar who wanted to create a name for himself as a "Christian martyr".
O'Connell serves as a useful idiot for the Jews in his capacity as an inveterate liar and BS artist who enjoys stirring up trouble by posting all manner of baseless allegations and smears. He has claimed on numerous occasions to have been convicted of drug dealing at a major level. Here’s an example. On 10/06/06 O’Connell said: "I have mixed with millionair (sic) drug dealers and been convicted of drug dealing at a major level myself", that he had worked in a mental hospital in a unit for the criminally insane, and that he knows "many coppers both local and federal. Military intelligence and serving and retired SAS. The former Superintendant (sic) of Recruiting for the W.A. Police Service (Graham Davies) is a close family friend".
At this point, we may deduce that O’Connell is either (1) a convicted major drug dealer, or (2) an inveterate liar. Alternative (2) subdivides into (a) a BS artist who is set on making trouble, (b) a delusional clown, or (c) a paid disinfo shill. That’s not conjecture, it’s proven fact. The conclusion derives inexorably from the demonstrably correct fixed premise of O’Connell’s statements and the variable premise in which he either is or isn’t a convicted major drug dealer.
The "liar" options (2a-c) are by far the most likely. There is no evidence of O’Connell’s "drug-dealing past". Of the various (2) options, (2a) looks the most promising, that O’Connell enjoys stirring up trouble in forums by posting a load of bull. Here’s a recent posting of his:
Quote:
My house is broken into every 5 minutes. Evidence stolen. Brake lines cut. Death Threats. INTENSE hacking of my computer and others to the point I could not even get online. Friends harassed over seas their animals killed and tasered. ALL of this has been reported to Police who (it seems) have done nothing…so it seems, although maybe a certain Leon Wende in Melbourne got the message eventually.
As it is I have no computer, no internet connection (i’ve snuck in to use this one), no video equipment, no money.
If anyone believes the claims such as house "broken into every 5 minutes", then I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. O'Connell takes narcissism to new heights when he says:
Quote:
You made me world famous. Your world revolves around me. Your friends have hacked my communications. Threatened my friends. Killed animals. Damaged my friends property. Cut brake lines (DOCUMENTED!). Broken into my house.
O’Connell has admitted to living within a couple of suburbs of the late disinfo agent Joe Vialls, says that he will "entertain" Vialls’ claim that the Jews did the Asian tsunami. Source
O'Connell even posts under multiple handles at the AWE forum, e.g. as "David Henry". At 911oz.com, he was (in addition to QuoVeritas) "davidstevens" who signed as "David King", and operated a straw man sock puppet "killtheterrorists" who played the role of a "Jew" who would merely call "David" names.
Anyone with at least a modicum of common sense will see that Brendon O'Connell is a bovine excrement artist (BEA). In order to slay the Zionist dragon, it is necessary to fight them with evidence and facts, e.g. attacking their Achilles heels such as 9/11 and the holohoax. Once the Zionists have been emasculated, establishing pro-White nations free of political correctness and "multiculturalism" will be the icing on the cake.
Brendon O'Connell and his fan club have "nothing but the smear", which is doomed to failure. When a software engineer who works in the defense industry or someone who goes on trips to photograph degree confluences as part of an organized sampling of the world is alleged to be a "Mossad agent" by someone with no "arrows in his quiver", as it were, it merely serves to show up the person making the allegation and the believers as, at best, naive and foolish. When someone is accused of being a "Jew" or an "agent" for simply trying to inform people who don't have all the facts, the accusers come across as barely more than brain-dead. You can lead greenhorns to data, but you cannot make them think.

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.
Ces derniers jours, La Presse nous a appris que plusieurs écoles hassidiques fonctionnent sans aucun permis du ministère de l'Éducation.
Certaines, comme la Yeshiva Toras Mosche, dispensent un enseignement exclusivement religieux, ce qui contrevient à la loi sur l'instruction publique.
Une autre, située à Napierville, va jusqu'à interdire à ses élèves d'apporter des magazines «non juifs» (ce qui, entre vous et moi, est carrément raciste).
LES GANTS BLANCS
«Nous suivons la situation de très près, a dit la ministre de l'Éducation Michelle Courchesne. Il faut savoir que les relations avec la communauté sont délicates et qu'il faut prendre le temps nécessaire pour les mener à bien.»
Je m'excuse, madame Courchesne, mais qu'est-ce qu'il y a de délicat là-dedans ?
Ou tu respectes la loi, et tu as le droit de fonctionner, ou tu ne la respectes pas, et tu fermes tes portes.
Me semble que c'est pas si compliqué...
C'est drôle, mais quand c'est un Québécois tricoté serré qui ne respecte pas la loi, on ne coupe pas les cheveux en quatre et on ne prend pas «le temps nécessaire» pour «mener à bien des relations avec sa communauté». On sévit.
Mais quand c'est un membre d'une minorité culturelle ou religieuse qui contrevient à la loi, soudainement, on met des gants blancs et on marche sur des oeufs.
Pourquoi ? La loi n'est pas la même pour tout le monde ?
La punition est différente selon le Dieu que tu pries ?
UN ATTACHEMENT POUR ISRAËL
Je l'ai souvent dit, je le redis et je vais continuer à le répéter : c'est fou à quel point on ne se respecte pas...
Si on pouvait, on se ferait poser une troisième joue pour pouvoir recevoir plus de gifles.
Tenez, en effectuant une recherche sur les écoles juives, je suis tombé sur une information savoureuse.
Vous connaissez la Fédération CJA ? Cet organisme chapeaute les différents services offerts à la communauté juive au Québec.
La CJA a publié un manuel encourageant les parents juifs à envoyer leurs enfants dans des écoles juives.
Parmi les raisons mises de l'avant : «Les écoles juives offrent des programmes d'hébreu et de judaïsme», «Les écoles juives enseignent les valeurs juives» et (accrochez votre kipa avec de la corde) «Ces écoles permettent aux enfants de développer un attachement profond pour Israël».
LES «VALEURS JUIVES»
C'est le rôle des écoles, ça, développer un attachement profond pour tel ou tel pays ?
On a déjà assez de difficulté à développer un attachement profond pour le Québec et pour le Canada, voudriez-vous me dire pourquoi on mettrait sur pied des programmes destinés à développer chez les enfants québécois «un attachement profond pour Israël» ?
Pourquoi pas avec l'Arabie Saoudite ou l'Iran, tant qu'à faire ?
Et puis, c'est quoi, les «valeurs juives» ? En quoi sont-elles différentes des valeurs «catholiques» et «musulmanes» ?
C'est ça qu'on veut ? Des écoles catholiques transmettant des valeurs catholiques, des écoles juives transmettant des valeurs juives et des écoles musulmanes transmettant des valeurs musulmanes ?
Je croyais qu'on encourageait au contraire l'ouverture et la curiosité.
LA MÊME LOI POUR TOUS
Je déteste l'antisémitisme et l'islamophobie. Mais il ne faudrait pas non plus tomber dans l'excès contraire, et s'interdire de critiquer telle ou telle situation parce qu'elle implique des juifs ou des musulmans.
Non seulement TOUTES les écoles doivent-elles respecter la loi, mais les écoles du Québec devraient développer chez l'enfant un attachement pour LE QUÉBEC.

Le ministère de l'Éducation tarde à serrer la vis à l'académie juive orthodoxe Yeshiva Toras Moshe, de Montréal, qui refuse de se conformer à la loi. Sans permis, cette école donne un enseignement presque uniquement religieux aux 140 garçons du primaire qu'elle reçoit.
Dans un État de la situation daté du 23 décembre 2008, obtenu par La Presse en vertu de la Loi d'accès à l'information, le Ministère rappelle que la Yeshiva refuse de faire les ajustements demandés «sous prétexte de contraintes religieuses». La ministre Michelle Courchesne a donc refusé de lui délivrer un permis. «L'établissement ayant malgré tout continué à offrir des services éducatifs, le dossier devrait être transmis au Procureur du Québec sous peu», précise le document.
Cela a-t-il été fait? «Non, parce qu'il y a toujours des discussions avec la Yeshiva Toras Mosche, a dit hier Jean-Pascal Bernier, attaché de presse de Mme Courchesne. Mais c'est certain que pour la ministre, il va falloir que cette école ait un permis. Ce n'est pas le statu quo.»
Radio-Canada a révélé, dimanche, l'existence de cette Yeshiva qui scolarise illégalement les garçons de la communauté Satmar depuis 1952. Des manquements graves y ont été observés dans ses deux campus (situés rue Saint-Urbain et Bates), selon le dernier rapport annuel de la Commission consultative de l'enseignement privé.
En première année du primaire, la Yeshiva n'offre «que de l'enseignement religieux». Dans les autres années, seules 5 heures par semaine (au lieu de 25) sont consacrées aux disciplines autres que religieuses. Aucun des cinq professeurs donnant l'enseignement séculier ne détient d'autorisation d'enseigner. Seules les ressources financières, provenant à 85% de dons, sont satisfaisantes.
Le programme québécois «heurte» leurs croyances
Dans une lettre envoyée au Ministère le 25 juillet dernier, l'ex-avocat de la Yeshiva, Me François Houde, fait valoir que «plusieurs éléments du programme (québécois) heurtent les croyances et préceptes religieux» de la communauté. Il précise que les élèves doivent «se développer dans le respect des lois religieuses qui gouvernent la communauté», afin de «devenir des personnes complètes et actives pour la société dans laquelle ils évolueront à l'âge adulte». Il ne semble pas être question ici de la société québécoise.
Une seconde lettre de l'avocat, datée du 8 octobre, propose une «ouverture de notre cliente» à reconsidérer sa position si une étude comparative de son programme et de celui du Québec est faite. Cette condition a été refusée par le Ministère, qui a souligné dans une lettre datée du 29 octobre que seules la langue et les maths étaient enseignées à la Yeshiva (outre la religion juive), ce qui est insuffisant.
Il semble que la Yeshiva attende le résultat de la demande de permis des écoles Belz et Skver «avant de présenter une demande» une seconde fois, selon Ahissia Ahua, porte-parole du MELS.
«Je ne suis pas en mesure de vous faire part de quelque commentaire que ce soit», a dit Yann Bernard, le nouvel avocat de la Yeshiva, qui n'avait pas parlé à ses représentants. La Yeshiva Toras Mosche n'a pas rappelé La Presse.

Marie Allard La Presse
En 2007, le ministère de l'Éducation affirmait que les écoles juives illégales, qui comptaient 700 élèves, respecteraient bientôt la loi. Mais au moins trois écoles pour garçons hassidiques fonctionnent toujours sans permis, a constaté La Presse. Négligeant les autres matières, l'enseignement qu'elles donnent est surtout religieux.
Deux des trois écoles juives orthodoxes qui se sont entendues avec le ministère de l'Éducation pour légaliser leur cours secondaire n'ont pas respecté leur engagement, a appris La Presse. Les écoles communautaires Belz et Skver devaient demander un permis pour donner le secondaire aux garçons (ce qu'elles font illégalement) à partir de septembre 2008. Or, elles n'ont toujours pas de permis.
C'est en vertu du Protocole d'entente concernant la scolarisation de certains jeunes appartenant à la communauté juive (voir autre texte), signé par les écoles Belz et Skver le 16 juin dernier et par la ministre Michelle Courchesne le 3 juillet dernier, qu'elles devaient faire cette demande de permis pour 2008-2009.
«L'entente avec le Ministère n'a pas été signée aussi rapidement que prévu», a fait valoir hier Yann Bernard, avocat des écoles Belz et Skver. Cela a retardé, selon lui, l'envoi des demandes de permis.
Menace de transmettre le dossier à la justice
Le 26 août dernier, le Ministère a envoyé une lettre à l'école Belz, obtenue par La Presse grâce à la loi d'accès à l'information, précisant être «en attente du dépôt de votre modification de permis, afin d'ajouter les services d'enseignement au secondaire pour les garçons».
Ce n'est finalement que le... 23 janvier 2009 que l'école Belz a fait la demande de modification de permis attendue, a indiqué Ahissia Ahua, porte-parole du MELS. «La demande est en traitement actuellement, a-t-elle précisé. Une réponse parviendra à l'établissement en vue de la prochaine année scolaire.»
Le 30 octobre, c'était au tour de l'école Skver de recevoir une lettre plus menaçante du Ministère, lui rappelant qu'elle donne le secondaire aux garçons «sans que ces services éducatifs ne soient autorisés». Une demande de permis devait lui être adressée sous peu, à défaut de quoi le MELS allait transmettre le «dossier au ministère de la Justice qui prendra les recours appropriés».
Dès le lendemain, l'école Skver a transmis sa demande. L'école aura aussi une réponse «en vue de la prochaine année scolaire», selon Mme Ahua. Entre-temps, les deux écoles secondaires pour garçons continuent de fonctionner dans l'illégalité.
Les écoles veulent se conformer, selon leur avocat
«Ces écoles font tout ce qu'elles peuvent actuellement pour essayer de se conformer et ce n'est vraiment pas facile, a plaidé Me Bernard. Elles travaillent très, très fort pour correspondre aux exigences du MELS.»
Mais ces écoles hassidiques ne sont pas sans tache. La Commission consultative de l'enseignement privé, dans son rapport annuel 2007-2008, note plusieurs problèmes à l'école Belz. Certaines matières n'y sont pas enseignées, les frais facturés aux parents dépassent le maximum prévu par la Loi et les laboratoires de sciences sont inadéquats. L'école Belz détient des permis pour enseigner le primaire en anglais et en français et le secondaire en anglais (seuls les élèves qui terminent le primaire en français sont ensuite scolarisés illégalement en anglais au secondaire). Elle est subventionnée par Québec.
Aussi subventionnée, l'école Skver détient un permis pour le primaire (section garçons) et des permis pour le primaire et le secondaire (filles). La Commission y voit «plusieurs manquements d'importance»: les sciences n'y seraient pas enseignées et le temps consacré à l'enseignement non religieux y est insuffisant.
Des correctifs ont été apportés, selon Québec (21/04/09) En 2007, Michelle Courchesne, la ministre de l'Éducation, a décidé de s'attaquer au problème des écoles sans permis. » Ce que prévoit l'entente avec Québec (21/04/09) C'est «pour régler le problème de la non-fréquentation scolaire» de certains jeunes hassidiques qu'une entente a été signée l'été dernier... »
Combien de fois devront-elles invariablement revenir dans l’actualité, ces écoles parallèles qui misent sur l’enseignement religieux au détriment du programme obligatoire, pour que les autorités osent enfin sévir ?
Dans son rapport annuel tout juste publié, la Commission consultative de l’enseignement privé vise plusieurs établissements qui contreviennent, en tout ou en partie, aux normes ministérielles ou carrément à l’obligation de scolarisation édictée par la Loi sur l’instruction publique.
Radio-Canada a pointé dimanche le cas de l’Académie Yeshiva Toras Mosche, une école qui dessert à Montréal la communauté juive hassidique Satmar. On y prodiguerait un enseignement exclusivement religieux, et ce, en totale violation de la loi.
La Commission de l’enseignement privé a reçu une demande de permis de la part de cette école pour le primaire, une requête jugée irrecevable, car les « façons de faire de l’établissement » transgressaient les « exigences légales et réglementaires » : aucun enseignant ne détenait une autorisation d’enseigner ; l’école comptait offrir uniquement de l’enseignement religieux en première année, et plus tard, seulement 20 % du contenu pédagogique exigé.
Le plus invraisemblable n’est pas la nature de la demande, formulée malgré cette suite d’entorses. Non, le plus inimaginable est le fait que l’école oeuvre à Montréal depuis... 1952.
Il en existe donc encore, et toujours, de ces écoles parallèles qui fonctionnent au vu et au su du gouvernement, ne promulguant par exemple que les lois de la Torah et du Talmud, sans égard pour le français, l’anglais, les sciences pures ou humaines. Elles donnent du fil à retordre à Québec qui, malgré de louables efforts pour établir un dialogue, n’ose jamais punir. Qui ne casse pas ce cercle de l’ignorance. L’État ne peut même pas brandir la menace financière : ces établissements ne sont pas subventionnés et survivent grâce aux dons des communautés qu’ils desservent.
Même s’il le pouvait, le ferait-il ? Combien d’écoles privées subventionnées bafouant à leur manière et au nom de préceptes religieux les règlements pédagogiques de Québec ont-elles, un jour, eu la surprise de voir soit leur permis révoqué, soit leur subvention élaguée, voire refusée ? Qu’on nous permette un doute : dans un dossier aussi délicat que celui des écoles juives, la crainte de froisser mène à la paralysie politique. À force de menaces jamais mises à exécution, l’engourdissement du ministère de l’Éducation est devenu risible.
Impuissant, espérant conserver un embryon de dialogue avec ces groupes isolés plutôt que d’envoyer des dizaines de jeunes hassidiques vers la non-fréquentation scolaire, l’État hésite à user de moyens légaux. Cette patience est exagérée. La loi est claire : tout Québécois a droit à une scolarité complète, quel qu’il soit.
C’est un régime de peur qui envoie des messages mitigés : entre autres, que l’État est tolérant au-delà de ce qui est permis, même de ce qui est prescrit par la loi. L’école, plus que tout autre milieu, a un devoir de démocratie jusque dans la formation qu’elle offre aux futurs citoyens. À qui doit-on le rappeler ? À ces groupes rebelles ou au gouvernement ?
celineforget.com Céline Forget harcelée et poursuivie par les juifs hassidiques d'Outremont pour avoir fait fermer leur synagogue illégale.
========
LA VÉRITÉ PIXELLISÉE TRIOMPHE Ce soir, vous aurez droit à des images inédites.
Seuls le procureur de la Couronne et l'avocate de la défense, Me Marie-Hélène Giroux, ont pu les voir et les analyser. Elles ont permis de désamorcer une accusation grave contre une citoyenne d'Outremont qui avait eu le "bonheur" de voir son nom et son image faire la manchette du téléjournal de TQS, de TVA et du Journal de Montréal.
Lors de la comparution, Me Marie-Hélène Giroux, l'avocate de Mme Forget, disait ne pas comprendre comment le dépôt d'accusations contre sa cliente avait pu être autorisé. CLIQUER pour lire l'article du Journal de Montréal.
Maintenant que Mme Céline Forget a été ACQUITTÉE et qu'aucun média ne s'est donné la peine de couvrir la fin heureuse de l'histoire, nous estimons nécessaire de remettre les pendules à l'heure et de rétablir la réputation de Mme Forget.
Rappelons que cette ancienne conseillère municipale d'Outremont fait l'objet, depuis de nombreuses années, de menaces, d'intimidation, de vandalisme, ainsi que d'une longue série d'accusations criminelles gratuites et malveillantes portées par certains membres de la communauté hassidique. Elle subit tout cela parce qu'elle dénonce ouvertement, en toute légitimité et de façon absolument légale des gestes et des comportements qui vont à l'encontre des lois et règlements en vigueur sur le territoire de l'arrondissement.
Voici les faits:
Le 4 juillet 2007, un résident hassidique d'Outremont portait une énième plainte au criminel contre Mme Céline Forget. Cette fois, il l'accusait d'avoir foncé sur lui avec sa voiture alors qu'il "traversait la rue pour aller à la rencontre de policiers appelés sur les lieux".
Rappelons que ce monsieur et certains membres bien en vue de sa communauté n'ont pas la femme en odeur de sainteté. Ils n'ont, entre autres, jamais digéré que l'ancienne conseillère municipale ait eu le culot de faire fermer la synagogue qu'ils opéraient en toute illégalité au coin des rues Lajoie et Durocher.
(cliquer sur la photo de l'ancienne synagogue laissée à l'abandon depuis 10 ans).
Ça les enrageait d'autant plus qu'ils étaient parvenus à dégriffer les autorités municipales qui refusaient de mettre leurs culottes et de faire respecter leur propre règlement de zonage.
Pour lui faire payer encore et encore son "crime" de lèse-synagogue illégale, le plaignant lui colle une accusation de voie de fait armé. Le fait diffusé dans toutes les chaumières du Québec à l'heure du souper était destiné à la neutraliser une fois pour toute. Hélas pour ses conspirateurs,la militante municipale a la couenne dure et a drôlement appris à se défendre depuis le temps.
Pour s'en convaincre, il n'y a qu'à voir sa moyenne au bâton. Sur les cinq plaintes criminelles portées contre elle par ses pieux voisins, AUCUNE n'a abouti.
Les trois premières accusations ont tourné en eau de boudin. Elles ont été tout bonnement retirées par les procureurs de la Couronne. La quatrième poursuite a aussi fait long feu puisque Mme Forget a été blanchie comme neige après avoir été accusée d'avoir frappé l'une des 12 enfants du plaignant.
Manque de pot pour le plaignant , voici maintenant que la dernière accusation de voie de fait armée portée contre Mme Forget s'est avérée un cinquième pétard mouillé.
En dépit des traquenards échafaudés pour la discréditer, la salir, la réduire au silence et la broyer, la résidente d'Outremont s'en tire donc avec un parcours sans fautes.
Cette fois, la principale intéressée admet qu’elle doit une fière chandelle à son fidèle appareil photo. Il lui a permis de capter toute la scène et de montrer que c’est plutôt elle qui a été victime de harcèlement le 24 juillet 2007. Sans cette preuve numérique et en l’absence de témoins favorables, elle se demande encore comment elle aurait pu s'en tirer indemne. Vive la vie en pixels... et le sang-froid. Le fil des événements du 4 juillet 2007:
17h58:16 : Mme Forget est horticultrice. Un de ses clients de longue date habite la maison voisine du plaignant. Étant donné l'attention qu'il lui réserve depuis quelques années, elle est particulièrement sur ses gardes lorsqu'elle s'y rend.
Ici, un membre de la famille qui lui cherche régulièrement noise vient de la repérer. Il la surveille et passe un coup de fil. Pour protéger ses arrières, Mme Forget commence à capter la scène.
18h01:33 : Sentant qu'il se trame quelque chose de pas très catholique, Mme Forget termine l'épangage de son engrais sur le terrain de son client et se prépare à partir.
18h02:00 : Alors qu'elle se dirige vers sa voiture stationnée au coin des avenues Wiseman et Marsolais, l'homme la suit et s'approche.
18h02:20 : L'air menaçant, l'un des membres de la famille du plaignant la rattrape, la fixe, puis la frôle alors qu'elle est debout tout près de sa propre voiture. Il la nargue et l'intimide.
18h02:35 : Avec son cellulaire, il photographie la plaque de la voiture de l'horticultrice même s'il la connait par coeur depuis belle lurette.
18h02:40 : Il voit arriver la voiture de son père et part à sa rencontre.
18h03:44 : Les deux hommes se retrouvent à l'extérieur de la fourgonnette.
18h04:06: Mme Forget a juste le temps de ranger ses outils et de s'engouffrer dans sa voiture avant que les membres de la famille hassidique ne la rejoignent. La version donnée par le plaignant au Journal de Montréal ne concorde pas avec les images prises par Mme Forget.
18h04:16 : Mme Forget est réfugiée à l'intérieur de sa voiture. Le visage du fils du plaignant se trouve à quelques centimètres à peine de sa fenêtre.
18h04:30 : L'homme qui allait bientôt porter plainte au criminel s'approche à son tour à quelques centimètres de la fenêtre, l'air menaçant.
18h05:25 : Les policiers du poste 24 sont déjà sur place, une minute à peine après l'arrivée du plaignant. Il les avait donc appelés bien avant que Mme Forget ne se rende à sa voiture. L'épouse du plaignant surgit pour aller rejoindre le fils du plaignant qui discute avec les policiers.
18h05:35: Contrairement à ce qu'affirme le plaignant dans sa déposition, ce dernier n'a jamais traversé la rue pour aller rejopindre les policiers. Les images prises par Mme Forget parlent d'elles-mêmes.
18h05:42 : Les images montrent plutôt le plaignant en train de bloquer le passage à Mme Forget alors que les policiers ont déjà traversé la rue et ne se trouvent plus qu'à quelques pieds de la voiture de Mme Forget qui est immobilisée.
18h05:47 : Le plaignant et sa femme se dirigent vers le trottoir au moment où la deuxième policière s'approche de la voiture qui est toujours immobilisée.
Dites-nous maintenant une chose. Les autorités municipales finiront-elles par protéger les honnêtes citoyens victimes à répétition de plaintes malveillantes et non fondées?
Après plus de dix ans de dénonciation de la part de Mme Forget, après les articles dans les quotidiens et les reportages télés faisant état de l'enfer que certains membres de la communauté hassidique (avec la bénédiction de leurs dirigeants???) lui font vivre, qu'attendent les policiers pour mettre un terme à ces exactions qui n'en finissent plus? Ça fait longtemps que les bornes ont été dépassées et que trop de gens ferment les yeux.
Comme nous vous le rapportions dans notre dernier message, Mme Céline Forget a été acquittée de l'accusation de voie de fait armé déposée contre elle par un membre de la secte ultra orthodoxe.
Si vous avez oublié ( ou si vous n'avez jamais su) ce que l'ancienne conseillère municipale d'Outremont a vécu et enduré depuis plus de dix ans, visionnez donc le video cliquer sur le triangle [B]
reportage diffusé le 10 septembre 1999 dans le cadre de l'émission J.E. (journalisme d'enquête) sur les ondes de TVA. Vous serez soufflés de voir les gestes répétés d'intimidation, les menaces et le vandalisme incessant que certains intégristes hassidiques lui ont réservé simplement parce qu'elle a revendiqué le respect des lois municipales et provinciales sur le territoire d'Outremont.
Vous verrez de vos propres yeux des comportements inacceptables, sans compter les combines et les tours de passe-passe que certains dirigeants de la secte hassidique trafiquent sans vergogne aucune. Même leur porte-parole Alex Werzberger avouait devant caméra l'utilisation de fausse représentation pour parvenir à leurs fins.
Alex Werzberger à J.E.
En écoutant ce reportage, vous comprendrez aussi que le laxisme grossier et l'à-plat-ventrisme de nos élus ne datent pas d'hier. Il est particulièrement pathétique d'entendre l'ancien maire Jérome Unterberg tenter de nous faire avaler que c'est dur en titi de prouver l'existence d'une synagogue illégale dans une rue zonée strictement résidentielle.
Sa comparaison avec un petit crucifix de cuisine "qui ne fait pas de chez vous une église" tient du grand guignol. Enfin... c'est beaucoup dire. À l'écouter, lui et ses successeurs, ont aurait plutôt envie de parler d'un théâtre de marionnettes!

L'arrondissement d'Outremont en a eu assez: il a décidé d'infliger une série de contraventions aux membres de la congrégration Belz qui ont tenu, cette semaine, une fête bruyante dans une cour d'école du quartier.
«Selon le rapport que j'ai sous les yeux, nous avons envoyé cinq voitures de police sur place. Il y avait 500 personnes à cette fête et elles vont recevoir des constats d'infraction», a indiqué la mairesse de l'arrondissement d'Outremont, Marie Cinq-Mars.
Lundi soir, le groupe de la congrégation Belz célébrait le Lag-Ba'omer, une fête juive qui commémore la mémoire d'un grand rabbin qui a vécu il y a 2000 ans. Pour célébrer cet événement, chants et danses sont de coutume, tout comme l'allumage de feux de joie, et c'est près de 500 personnes qui festoyaient ainsi dans la cour d'une école juive située près de la voie ferrée, de la rue Beaubien et de l'avenue du Parc.
Demande d'autorisation rejetée
L'arrondissement d'Outremont confirme avoir reçu une demande d'autorisation le 4 mai dernier pour la tenue d'un événement spécial dans la cour d'une école juive. Le 6 mai, le service de police envoyait une lettre indiquant que les autorités refusaient la demande de la communauté, car cette activité contrevenait à une série de règlements municipaux. Il est notamment interdit aux citoyens d'allumer des feux à l'extérieur des bâtiments et de faire du tapage.
«Cette école est située dans une zone industrielle. Il n'y a pas de résidences à moins de cinq pâtés de maisons de là. […] Et il s'agissait d'un petit feu allumé dans un tonneau de métal. Nous n'avons pas causé de dommages ou de préjudice à quiconque», a indiqué le porte-parole de la Coalition d'organistions hassidiques, Alex Werzberger.
Il croit qu'une poignée de résidants mécontents sont à l'origine de l'intervention des autorités. «Il y a des gens qui ont décidé de mener la vie dure aux hassidim. Ils vont au conseil de ville et ils tentent tout ce qu'ils peuvent pour faire du tort à la communauté juive. Et le pire, c'est que ces gens créent une perception négative de notre communauté», soutient M. Werzberger.
RueFrontenac.com sur le terrain
Une équipe de RueFrontenac.com, qui était dans le quartier par hasard, a été attirée par le bruit depuis les quartiers résidentiels. Ils ont filmé cette scène aux environs de 22 heures, lundi soir.
«Je ne reste pas loin des rues Durocher et Hutchison. Je n'ai pas vu les festivités, mais j'ai entendu du brouhaha. Ça chantait fort et ça a duré jusqu'à 23 heures», souligne Christian Bouvet, un citoyen du quartier qui fait partie du Comité des citoyens pour l'équité réglementaire.
Pierre Lacerte, un résident d'Outremont qui dénonce depuis des mois certains passe-droit accordés à la communauté hassidique, a lui aussi été témoin de la scène. «J'ai non seulement entendu le bruit de chez moi, mais je m'y suis rendu. Avec les enfants, ils étaient entre 1500 et 2000 à fêter. Il y avait une foule incroyable. (...) Les pompiers ont été obligés de se rendre sur place. C'était le free for all.»
M. Lacerte est content que la ville ait décidé d'infliger des contraventions, mais il ne s'attend pas à ce que cela règle grand-chose. «Il n'ont pas eu de permis pour faire leur fête mais ça ne les a pas dérangés, dit-il. Ça fait des années que je vois des gens de cette communauté se stationner illégalement et faire des travaux dans les synagogues sans avoir de permis. (...) On n'a pas affaire à des citoyens, on a affaire à une communauté théocratique qui ne veut pas de contacts avec le reste du monde. Ce n'est pas une poignée de contraventions qui va faire avancer les choses.»

La mairesse et le lobbyiste
Depuis qu’un groupe d’une quarantaine de citoyens a demandé la destitution du lobbyiste Michael Rosenberg qui siège au comité sur les relations intercommunautaires à Outremont, la mairesse Marie Cinq-Mars n’arrive pas à se débarrasser de cette patate chaude. En effet, il faut savoir que Michael Rosenberg est un des trois administrateurs du groupe de pression JOCC (Jewish orthodox council for community relations) qui a pour fonction de: « représenter, favoriser et promouvoir les intérêts de la communauté hassidique », tel que décrit au registre des entreprises. Ce lobby a d’ailleurs offert par le passé un voyage à New York à Messieurs Piquette et Moffatt, conseillers de l’arrondissement, de même qu’à Pierre Chapuis, directeur du service des permis de rénovation et Alain Tittley, directeur des communications; faisaient également partie du voyage subventionné un lieutenant du service de police de notre poste de quartier et Edison Ramirez, le directeur du service de la sécurité publique de l’arrondissement.
Malgré les demandes répétées de citoyens, la mairesse Cinq-Mars refuse étrangement d’envisager le retrait de Michael Rosenberg du comité intercommunautaire et défend sa position en mentionnant que « M. Rosenberg est membre d’un comité comme Mme Forget est membre d’un comité » (L’EXPRESS D’OUTREMONT, 12 FÉVRIER 2009).
Vraiment, la mairesse n’y voit pas clair du tout. Comparer une ancienne conseillère municipale élue démocratiquement par les citoyens avec un lobbyiste, il y a de quoi surprendre et choquer. Est-ce une façon pour Marie Cinq-Mars de refuser de voir le problème en face? Qu’attend donc la mairesse pour prendre les mesures qui s’imposent, soit d’exclure tout lobbyiste des comités de l’arrondissement, en commençant par Michael Rosenberg ?
Alors qu’il a fallu que le maire de la ville-centre, M. Tremblay, engage à grands frais la firme de consultants KPMG pour expliquer à Marie Cinq-Mars les aberrants dépassements de coûts et les manœuvres de désinformation utilisées dans le projet du centre communautaire (les citoyens avaient soulevé le problème dès le lancement des appels d’offre, en 2004), il semble bien que M. Tremblay devra engager un autre consultant pour expliquer à la mairesse la différence entre un ex-élu municipal et un lobbyiste.

Centre communautaire à Outremont : Une facture qui a presque doublé
Mauvaise foi ou incompétence?
Le 22 décembre dernier, les résultats de l’enquête de la firme de vérificateurs KPMG portant sur les dépassements de coûts de la construction du centre communautaire d’Outremont ont été rendu publics. L’ancien centre communautaire ayant été vendu en 1999 pour 1,3M$, un projet de 6.6M$ avait été mis sur la table en 2004 pour construire une rallonge à l’aréna existant et y loger les activités communautaires de l’arrondissement. Le projet de 6.6M$, un montant déjà très impressionnant, s’est graduellement transformé en de lourdes factures de 11.4M$.
Étonnamment, la mairesse de l’arrondissement Outremont, Marie Cinq-Mars, semble n’avoir jamais pris conscience du gonflement exorbitant et scandaleux du coût de la construction du centre communautaire dans un des plus petits arrondissements de Montréal, avec ses quelque 23,000 habitants. Conseillère municipale depuis 1999, et aujourd’hui mairesse depuis la démission en octobre 2007 de son collègue Stéphane Harbour, Madame Cinq-Mars a constamment donné son appui au projet en votant favorablement à toutes les résolutions du Conseil portant sur le centre communautaire. Aujourd’hui, pour sa défense, elle répète qu’un écran s’était installé entre certains membres du Conseil d’arrondissement et les fonctionnaires en charge du projet.
Si les élus n’ont rien vu, comment expliquer les nombreuses interventions des citoyens au Conseil d’arrondissement, dans les lettres ouvertes des journaux locaux, les lettres au maire de Montréal, au ministère des affaires municipales, etc., dès les débuts du projet en 2004? Les faits étaient à ce point évidents que dès le premier emprunt en 2004 des voix se sont élevées pour réclamer un registre. Sans succès. Pour sa part, le ministère des affaires municipales a qualifié de non conforme le processus d’appel d’offre en mars 2005.
L’équipe du maire Gérald Tremblay régnait sans opposition à Outremont. Les élus locaux pouvaient donc compter sur un appui aveugle de la Ville de Montréal. Pour plusieurs citoyens, plus le projet avançait, plus il était clair qu’il était mal ficelé et qu’on se dirigeait vers un gouffre financier sans fond. J’ai alerté M. Frank Zampino, comptable agréé et président du comité exécutif de la Ville, en novembre 2004. Il n’a pas réagit. La Ville de Montréal avait autorisé le projet à ses débuts et a tout simplement laissé voguer le bateau à la dérive, malgré les nombreuses interventions publiques des citoyens d’Outremont. Durant tous les travaux, l’administration à Outremont a nié les coûts réels de ce projet. L’administration a même caché à la population une dernière facture émise en avril 2007 de 2.8M$ des ingénieurs conseils Dessau-Soprin. N’eut été de la diffusion de cette information par Radio-Canada en octobre 2007, il aurait été impossible de connaître les coûts finaux des travaux puisque cette facture surprise n’apparaissait pas au budget de l’Arrondissement.
Avant même d’analyser sérieusement le contenu du rapport KPMG, la mairesse Cinq-Mars semble pressée de tourner la page, alors que les payeurs de taxes d’Outremont n’ont pas fini de rembourser ces factures aux dépends des travaux d’infrastructures qui devront attendre encore.
Plusieurs questions demeurent. Comment expliquer que Pierre Chapuis, ancien directeur d’arrondissement, nommé directeur exécutif du projet du centre communautaire, n’a jamais sonné l’alarme devant ce dérapage financier? A-t-il approuvé toutes les dépenses? Comment expliquer que M. Pierre Beaudet, trésorier à l’époque, n’a pas agité ses livres comptables devant le Conseil d’arrondissement pour réveiller les élus devant le gonflement des coûts? N’est-il pas le protecteur de l’argent des citoyens? Pourquoi ces deux fonctionnaires sont-ils toujours à l’emploi de l’Arrondissement?
Il est clair que les fonctionnaires et les élus (de l’arrondissement Outremont et de Montréal) reliés au projet sont solidaires dans ce scandale puisqu’ils y ont tous trempé à différents niveaux. D’ailleurs, qu’attend donc la mairesse pour réclamer à Montréal les 2.9M$ payés en trop par les Outremontais dans ce projet? La Ville-Centre avait refusé l’ouverture d’un registre en alléguant que l’arrondissement payait moins de 25% du coût du projet et que Montréal assumait le reste. M .Pierre Beaudet, ancien trésorier et récemment promu directeur d’arrondissement par la mairesse Cinq-Mars, confirme que l’arrondissement a défrayé près de 40% des coûts. Puisqu’aucun registre n’a été ouvert afin de permettre aux citoyens d’Outremont de s’opposer au projet, Montréal doit prendre la responsabilité de payer tous les montants supérieurs à 25% des coûts annoncés au premier emprunt en 2004 et rembourser l’arrondissement de 2.9M$.
Les citoyens d’Outremont ont été floués. Marie Cinq-Mars, élue depuis 1999, n’a rien vu. Que ce soit par mauvaise foi ou par incompétence, la mairesse et le Conseil d’arrondissement à Outremont ne sont plus crédibles.

Dossier sur les relations avec la communauté hassidique

Entrevue avec la mairesse
Dossier sur les relations avec la communauté hassidique
En entrevue avec L’Express d'Outremont, la mairesse Marie Cinq-Mars a accepté d’exposer son point de vue sur le dossier délicat des «synagogues problématiques».
L’Express d'Outremont: Quelques synagogues, situées au 5261-5263 et au 5253 Hutchison, sur Saint-Viateur ou sur Lajoie semblent susciter de l’irritation chez des résidants non-juifs fâchés de constater que le zonage municipal n’est pas toujours respecté, qu’on y rénove ou procède à des travaux d’agrandissement sans permis. Quel est l’état de la situation au sujet de ces synagogues?
La mairesse Marie Cinq-Mars: Pour ce qui est des synagogues sises 5261-5263 et 5253 Hutchison, elles sont sur le territoire de l’arrondissement du Plateau-Mont-Royal, donc nous n’avons aucune juridiction là-dessus. La seule synagogue que je connaisse qui est en dérogation est celle sise au 1030-1032, Saint-Viateur. Au conseil d’arrondissement, nous avons mandaté le contentieux de la Ville de Montréal, lors de l’assemblée publique [une séance ordinaire d’Outremont] tenue le 6 octobre, afin d’intenter tout recours judiciaire visant à faire cesser l’usage illégal du 1030-1032, Saint-Viateur. Donc, ceux qui disent qu’on laisse faire et qu’on ne fait rien mentent. Suivant ce mandat, le 4 novembre dernier, les avocats de la Ville de Montréal ont signifié une mise en demeure au propriétaire de l’édifice concernant l’usage dérogatoire des lieux. Depuis, l’arrondissement travaille en collaboration avec le contentieux pour donner suite à cette situation.
L'Express: Y a-t-il un phénomène de «deux poids, deux mesures» dans l’application des règles municipales à l’égard des juifs ultra-orthodoxes? Pourquoi plusieurs citoyens, selon vous, ont-ils cette perception?
La mairesse: Depuis que je suis mairesse, nous avons quant à nous donné ordre au directeur général et à tous les fonctionnaires de traiter tous les citoyens également, et ce, sans aucune discrimination.
L'Express: Les élus sont-ils paralysés par le fait que cette communauté hassidique peut décider des élections en votant de façon monolithique, tel qu’on le voit à Brooklyn ou ailleurs aux États-Unis?
La mairesse: Le vote, c’est secret, je ne veux pas commenter cela.
L'Express: Le citoyen Pierre Lacerte avance des preuves incriminant la conduite d’un membre hassidique faisant du comité des affaires intercommunautaires, Michael Rosenberg, afin qu’on lui retire ses fonctions. Avez-vous étudié ces preuves? Qu’en ressort-il?
La mairesse: M. Rosenberg est membre d’un comité comme Mme [Céline] Forget est membre d’un comité. Je pense que ce sont des gens qui sont des bénévoles qui donnent leur temps pour les citoyens. Je pense que ce sont aux bénévoles eux-mêmes, entre eux, de décider si jamais ils ne veulent pas que quelqu’un fasse partie du comité. C’est aux membres du comité de nous le faire savoir. Mais moi, à date, il n’y pas de membres de comité qui sont venus me dire qu’ils ne voulaient pas que l’une ou l’autre personne quitte un comité. Maintenant, pour ce qui est des allégations comme quoi on ne traite pas les gens de la même façon, elles sont fausses. Ce n’est pas correct de faire des allégations qui sont fausses.
La comparution de l’ex-conseillère d’Outremont Céline Forget, accusée d’avoir tenté de heurter un juif hassidique avec sa voiture, a révélé hier l’ampleur du conflit qui sévit entre elle et cette communauté de son quartier.
Ce n’est pas dans la salle de cour du palais de justice de Montréal que se déroulait l’action hier. En quelques secondes, l’ex-conseillère municipale a plaidé non coupable à l’accusation d’avoir tenté de foncer sur Israël Brewer avec sa voiture le 4 juillet dernier, rue Wiseman. C’est plutôt dans les couloirs du palais que se jouait la scène.
D’un côté, une amie de Mme Forget venue l’appuyer, de l’autre, quelques hassidim d’Outremont, dont des fils du plaignant. Chacun a sa vision des choses et ne se gêne pas pour le faire savoir à la partie adverse.
Céline Forget s’est mis à dos les juifs hassidiques d’Outremont au cours de son mandat au conseil municipal, pour avoir notamment fait fermer une synagogue illégale et dénoncé la complaisance de l’administration envers cette communauté.
Elle dit être victime de harcèlement de la part des hassidim, et croit que cette nouvelle accusation n’est que vengeance.
«C’est une expérience que j’ai déjà vécue dans le passé», a-t-elle commenté.
Israël Brewer a déjà porté plainte contre elle, mais elle a toujours été acquittée.
«Elle est même obligée, quand elle travaille sur des terrains (elle est horticultrice), d’avoir quelqu’un avec elle pour la protéger», a affirmé hier l’amie de Céline Forget, Gisèle Lafortune.
«J’ai même déjà vu des enfants hassidim de trois ans crier après elle comme si elle était le diable. Ils ne l’aiment pas car elle a brisé l’omerta qui régnait sur leur communauté», ajoute-t-elle.
À l’opposé, un représentant de la communauté jure que c’est elle qui les harcèle.
«Elle prend des photos de nous, de nos enfants. Et tous les jours comme par hasard, elle travaille sur le terrain voisin de M. Brewerx, lance Aaron Schmelczeor.
«Tout ce qu’on tente de faire, elle veut le défaire», accuse quant à lui Aaron Brewer, le fils d’Israël Brewer.
Joint au téléphone hier, ce dernier a donné sa version des événements.
«Elle est venue chez moi embêter mes enfants, qui ont appelé la police. Je suis sorti pour les protéger. Quand elle a vu les policiers, elle est montée dans sa voiture et a tenté de me frapper. J’ai pu l’éviter», prétend-il.
«Elle est raciste et menteuse. Elle persiste à vivre dans un immeuble où tous les résidents sont juifs. Qu’elle s’en aille. Nous nous sommes des non-violents», lance quant à elle l’épouse de M. Brewer.
Doit-on modifier la réglementation québécoise pour que les orthodoxes renouent avec la légalité?
Photo: Agence Reuters
Comme l'a révélé cette semaine Le Devoir, une décision administrative de sanctionner, pour non-respect du Régime pédagogique, une école privée juive orthodoxe a été contrecarrée par le cabinet de la ministre de l'Éducation. Au-delà de cette ingérence politique, un problème de fond se pose. Faut-il étirer l'élastique en adaptant en partie la réglementation pour permettre aux écoles juives orthodoxes de s'y conformer plus facilement? Ou encore maintenir la ligne dure, au risque que le débat se déplace devant les tribunaux?
Dans quelle mesure l'enseignement judaïque dispensé dans les écoles juives orthodoxes permet-il d'acquérir les compétences transversales prévues dans le Programme de formation de l'école québécoise et comment les évalue-t-on? Voilà le genre de questions auxquelles on réfléchit présentement au ministère de l'Éducation du Québec, dans l'espoir d'établir un terrain d'entente pour régulariser la situation des écoles juives orthodoxes.
Dans les dossiers des six écoles privées juives fautives, menacées de sanction par la Direction de l'enseignement privé du ministère, consultés par Le Devoir, le principal problème réside dans le nombre d'heures d'enseignement insuffisant. Ces écoles ne dispensent pas les 25 heures obligatoires pour l'enseignement des matières prévues dans le Régime pédagogique québécois. Pourtant, les enfants de ces communautés orthodoxes fréquentent l'école beaucoup plus longtemps que cela. Mais le temps passé à étudier la Torah (les textes fondant le judaïsme) n'est pas pris en considération dans le calcul des 25 heures réglementaires.
Ainsi, dans le cas de l'école première Mesifta, les fonctionnaires du ministère ont calculé que seulement 62 % des 25 heures étaient, dans les faits, dispensées pour les matières du programme québécois et ils ont décidé, en guise de réprimande, de réduire la subvention en conséquence.
Or les écoles juives orthodoxes plaident que le temps consacré aux études juives devrait pouvoir être comptabilisé dans le temps réglementaire. «Ceci pourrait avoir pour conséquence que l'établissement qui consacre seulement 12,5 heures aux matières prévues pour le Régime pédagogique pourrait prétendre que les 12,5 heures consacrées aux études juives lui permettent d'atteindre les 25 heures de services éducatifs prescrites au Régime pédagogique», illustre-t-on dans une analyse interne du ministère dont Le Devoir a obtenu copie.
Michelle Courchesne, ministre de l'Éducation, n'a pas fermé la porte à de tels aménagements, bien au contraire. «Il va falloir que ces connaissances [transmises dans l'enseignement judaïque] soient évaluées au même titre que pour les autres [matières]. C'est gros, ce qu'on essaie de faire avec eux, alors qu'ils sont dans un monde exclusivement religieux», faisait-elle valoir jeudi dans une entrevue donnée au Devoir.
Déjà, dans le protocole signé à l'été 2008 par des écoles orthodoxes fonctionnant sans permis, une porte avait été ouverte. On peut y lire la reconnaissance du fait que «l'enseignement du Talmud fait appel à plusieurs compétences du Programme de formation de l'école québécoise, mais qu'il existe des écarts en matière de connaissances transmises».
Tout en refusant d'expliquer plus avant la piste de solution évoquée, la ministre a précisé qu'une analyse des enseignements dispensés dans les écoles juives était effectuée. «Il faut s'assurer qu'il y ait un nombre d'heures fréquentées et que, dans ce nombre d'heures fréquentées, il y ait enseignement des matières obligatoires, tel que défini par le Régime pédagogique [...]. Dans cette zone, il y a une piste de solution que je ne partagerai pas avec vous», a expliqué Mme Courchesne jeudi.
La subtilité vient du fait que le Régime pédagogique ne dicte pas de façon obligatoire le temps devant être accordé à chacune des matières de base, dans la mesure où la matière est bel et bien enseignée et où les objectifs sont atteints. En exploitant ce flou, qui permet par exemple à certaines écoles de mettre un plus grand accent sur les arts ou encore les sports, on pourrait essayer d'aplanir les irrégularités dans les écoles juives orthodoxes.
Ce genre de négociations fait frémir Pierre Curzi, porte-parole péquiste en matière d'éducation. «On a éradiqué en principe la religion de notre système d'enseignement public, cela ne se peut pas que par la porte d'en arrière on la réintroduise. [...] Il est question de négociations entre un État et une communauté. On ouvre la porte à toutes les négociations et à tous les compromis avec toutes les communautés. C'est une porte qu'on doit fermer», tranche M. Curzi.
Jean-Pierre Proulx, professeur en sciences de l'éducation à l'Université de Montréal, constate pour sa part que cette voie est «incertaine». «La ministre ne peut faire que ce que la loi l'autorise à faire», note-t-il.
Spécialiste des communautés juives, l'anthropologue Pierre Anctil juge pour sa part pertinente l'idée de considérer que l'enseignement judaïque répond à certaines exigences du programme scolaire québécois. «L'enseignement de la tradition juive ne s'éloigne pas fondamentalement des programmes plus laïques», croit le professeur de l'Université d'Ottawa. Il y voit surtout une solution de compromis acceptable qui permettrait d'éviter le débat devant les tribunaux.
Quadrature du cercle
Cela dit, même si on règle d'un coup de baguette magique la question du temps d'enseignement, l'enjeu du cours d'éthique et culture religieuse demeurera entier. Il s'agit d'une matière obligatoire dans le Régime pédagogique. Pour M. Anctil, il serait fort surprenant que les juifs orthodoxes consentent à traiter ainsi des autres religions. «C'est impensable pour eux d'enseigner Noël ou Pâques. Ils diraient que cela viole leur conscience.»
Le problème équivaut à tenter de résoudre la quadrature du cercle. Comment arriver à un compromis qui ne fera pas vaciller le processus de laïcisation du système scolaire québécois, alors que le nouveau cours d'éthique et culture religieuse est soumis au test des tribunaux?
Si les «négociations» avec les écoles orthodoxes échouent à l'échéance en septembre, il restera donc à voir comment le ministère et sa ministre agiront. Supprimeront-ils les subventions des écoles non conformes? Si tel est le cas, exigeront-ils que les écoles privées non subventionnées respectent le Régime pédagogique, comme le requiert la loi? Quelle que soit l'issue des pourparlers, une chaîne de dominos est susceptible de se mettre en branle.
Mots clés : Ministère, Hassidique, Juif, Religion, Éducation, Québec (province)
Le 11 juin dernier, le professeur Pierre Anctil publiait une lettre ouverte dans ces pages à propos de la «nouvelle ronde de négociations entre le ministère de l'Éducation et certaines écoles hassidiques».
Personne ne reprochera au professeur Anctil de s'intéresser à l'histoire de la communauté hassidique établie au Québec depuis le début du XXe siècle ou d'avoir traduit du yiddish les souvenirs d'Israël Medresh, un jeune juif d'Europe de l'Est débarqué à Montréal en 1916. Au contraire, il est fort instructif de découvrir et de comprendre les rapports entre la communauté juive et les Québécois francophones depuis leurs premiers contacts.
Par contre, quand sa fascination pour la secte hassidique se transforme en un serment d'allégeance inconditionnel qui l'amène à justifier le jusqu'au-boutisme fanatique, rien ne va plus.
Il est important de comprendre les motivations profondes qui ont amené les hassidim à se replier sur eux-mêmes, à vivre en reclus au milieu d'une société qu'ils abhorrent ouvertement. Les raisons historiques évoquées par M. Anctil sont extrêmement dramatiques, mais pendant combien de siècles encore les sociétés occidentales devront-elles battre la coulpe et faire amende honorable? Il n'y a aucune raison pour la société d'accueil de se plier aux préceptes ultrareligieux de cette frange orthodoxe de la communauté juive. La démocratie ne peut céder à la théocratie d'une minorité sans bafouer les droits de tous, y compris les droits des enfants que sont les petits hassidim.
Que les dirigeants de sectes hassidiques soient ou non motivés par un isolationnisme malveillant ou par un mépris des lois du pays comme le réfute M. Anctil, il n'en demeure pas moins que des ultrareligieux influents font manifestement fi des lois et règlements qui s'appliquent à toutes les autres communautés, qu'elles soient de souche ou non. Doit-on tolérer l'intolérable? Doit-on leur permettre de créer leur propre «apartheid» avec la complicité de certains élus alors que nous décrions et sanctionnons l'abject phénomène partout ailleurs sur la planète?
En matière de scolarisation, Pierre Anctil avance que les rabbins hassidiques ne rejettent pas les exigences officielles. L'excuse pour ne pas se conformer résiderait dans le fait qu'une fois le rigoureux programme judaïque injecté dans le cerveau de leurs jeunes, il ne reste plus suffisamment de temps dans la journée pour le superflu théorique exigé par le ministère. C'est vrai que même pour les pieux hommes, les journées n'ont que 24 heures!
M. Anctil met en garde la ministre de l'Éducation, Michelle Courchesne. Il insinue qu'elle perd son temps à négocier avec les rabbins un contrat qui les engagerait à respecter le cursus du ministère, dont le cours d'éthique et de culture religieuse. Ce dernier cours violerait supposément la liberté de conscience des juifs de confession hassidique. Mais que faites-vous, M. Anctil, du droit à l'éducation et de celui de devenir un citoyen éclairé à part entière qui ne vive pas aux crochets de la société qui l'accueille et qui lui offre les subventions à l'éducation?
Avez-vous lu le rapport annuel 2008 de la Banque d'Israël qui révèle que seuls 32 % des hommes de la communauté ultraorthodoxe israélienne occupaient un emploi en 2007? Chez nous, le pourcentage de ces hommes en noir sur le marché du travail équivaudrait au nombre de nos... décrocheurs. Que cela nous vaudra-t-il dans quelques années? [...] Pendant combien de temps encore, M. Anctil, endosserez-vous béatement les conséquences de cette redoutable réalité appréhendée?
S'il faut une bataille juridique, que les autorités ne s'en laissent pas imposer, car si certains dirigeants hassidiques ne respectent pas nos lois, ils les utilisent à souhait pour atteindre leurs fins. Ce n'est qu'en abdiquant devant les ultraorthodoxes que nous perdrons vraisemblablement tous, collectivement.
Croyez-moi, nous ne sommes pas à la veille d'en avoir fini avec la religion au Québec.
Plusieurs écoles privées juives orthodoxes vivent depuis longtemps dans l'illégalité. Par exemple, elles ne donnent pas le nombre minimal d'heures d'enseignement des matières de base exigé par la loi, parce que beaucoup d'heures sont consacrées à l'étude des textes sacrés du judaïsme. Le gouvernement, qui les subventionne, cherche une solution, paraît-il.
Un nouveau problème vient d'apparaître. Depuis septembre 2008, TOUTES les écoles au Québec sont tenues d'enseigner le nouveau cours Éthique et Culture religieuse (ECR), qui remplace l'ancien enseignement confessionnel. Ces écoles juives demandent aujourd'hui d'être exemptées de cette obligation, ou de pouvoir adapter le contenu du cours à leur convenance.
Le problème est que les parents catholiques qui ont demandé la même chose se sont heurtés à des refus nets des autorités. Ils sont présentement devant les tribunaux.
MONDE PARALLÈLE
Il est parfaitement illusoire de penser que les Juifs hassidiques cèderont làdessus. Cela peut sembler étrange, voire incompréhensible pour vous et moi, mais ces gens vivent dans un monde parallèle entièrement régi par leur religion jusque dans les moindres détails.
Ils refusent de s'intégrer au reste de la société, non par malveillance, mais par conviction que se mêler à nous les empêcherait de mener une vie en totale conformité avec leurs préceptes religieux. Le cours ECR est donc, de leur point de vue, une intolérable atteinte à leur liberté de conscience.
Admettons un instant qu'on leur consente une sorte de régime d'exception, au nom de l'inviolabilité de leur liberté de conscience. Est-ce à dire que la liberté de conscience des catholiques orthodoxes est moins inviolable ? Ce serait parfaitement indéfendable.
TRIBUNAUX
Imaginons maintenant que le gouvernement s'adresse aux tribunaux. Les hassidim invoqueront sans doute l'article 3 de la Charte des droits et libertés, qui établit le caractère inaliénable de la liberté religieuse. Il n'est pas dit qu'ils ne gagneraient pas.
S'ils gagnent, cette victoire sera aussi celle de toutes les autres religions. S'ils perdent, ils ne se soumettront pas davantage : les lois divines l'emportent, pour eux, sur les lois humaines. Ils feront alors semblant de se conformer, ou choisiront de s'enfoncer davantage dans l'illégalité, voire la clandestinité.
HYPERCOMPLIQUÉ
Suspendons leur financement, me direz-vous. Le problème est que le cours ECR est obligatoire même si une école n'est pas subventionnée par les fonds publics.
Théoriquement, le gouvernement pourrait décider que, désormais, une école non subventionnée n'est plus tenue de suivre le régime pédagogique prévu par la loi actuelle. À coup sûr, d'autres sectes religieuses choisiraient alors cette voie, et c'est toute la laïcisation du système scolaire qui serait compromise. Bref, c'est la quadrature du cercle.
Le noeud du problème vient de ce que les zélotes de la laïcité, qui sont tout aussi religieux à leur manière, ont rendu obligatoire et sans possibilité d'exemption ce cours, mais sans s'assurer auparavant que l'État aurait les moyens de faire appliquer sa propre loi.
C'est tout à l'honneur de la ministre de l'Éducation d'avoir dit clairement qu'elle ne permettrait pas deux poids, deux mesures. Mais elle en viendra peut-être à regretter d'avoir été si transparente.
La plupart des adolescents juifs hassidiques sont scolarisés dans des écoles qui contreviennent à la loi québécoise sur l’instruction publique.>> Suite
Malgré les engagements répétés du ministère de l’Éducation à régler la situation, la plupart des adolescents juifs hassidiques sont toujours scolarisés dans un réseau d’éducation parallèle qui contrevient à la loi québécoise sur l’instruction publique. Pourquoi ?
Récapitulons : les juifs hassidiques sont convaincus que les garçons doivent suivre un enseignement exclusivement religieux. Pas de français, biologie, géographie, éducation physique ou chimie. Ça, dans la plupart des communautés, c'est bon pour les filles qui doivent avoir un minimum de notions pour tenir maison. Pour les garçons : tous ces cours seraient une perte d'un temps qu'ils n'ont pas. Leurs études sont rigoureuses et exigeantes. Comprendre les voix divines demande du temps. C'est pour cette raison que la majorité de leurs écoles secondaires pour garçons n'ont pas le permis du ministère de l'Éducation; ils se sont bien gardés de le demander. On suppose que cette situation était connue des autorités ministérielles depuis de nombreuses années. Certaines de ces écoles existaient dès les années 50, bien des années avant que nos fonctionnaires ne s'intéressent à l'éducation. Qui plus est, le ministère de l'Éducation fait chaque année un « répertoire des établissements privés, titulaire d'un permis » pour l'année scolaire en cours. Dans ce répertoire, les écoles primaires pour garçons de ces communautés sont le plus souvent inscrites, celle des filles aussi, mais étonnement, au secondaire les garçons, dans la majorité des cas, disparaissent du radar. Étrange non? Personne ne s'était posé de questions sur la disparition subite de ces enfants des listes du ministère?
Il a fallu attendre l'automne 2006 pour que cette situation connue des hauts fonctionnaires de la direction de l'enseignement privé, le soit aussi de la population. Le ministre de l'époque Jean-Marc Fournier s'est fait formel. Tous les enfants du Québec doivent se soumettre à la loi sur l'instruction publique et le ministre s'était engagé à imposer aux communautés hassidiques une scolarisation légale. À l'été 2008, un protocole d'entente est signé entre le ministère et trois des communautés hassidiques récalcitrantes soit les Belz, les Lubavitchs et les Skvers. 3 groupes hassidiques. Trois ans et demi plus tard, l'affaire est loin d'être réglée et ce n'est pas demain la veille que les adolescents hassidiques auront droit ou devront se soumettre à une éducation réglementaire.
Le premier problème est mathématique. À l'époque où les fonctionnaires ont rédigé ce rapport savaient-ils qu'il y a au moins huit communautés juives hassidiques au Québec ? Nous avons la chance d'avoir chez nous un des plus grand spécialiste du monde hassidique. Julien Bauer, professeur à l'U.Q.A.M. et auteur d'un «Que sais-je? » sur les Juifs hassidiques. Le livre qui explique tout cela est en vente dans toutes les librairies et disponible dans toutes nos bibliothèques depuis 1994. Donc, selon Bauer en 1994, il y avait au moins huit groupes hassidiques au Québec. Huit moins trois, ça donne cinq... sur ce nombre, certaines sont très petits, voir marginaux. On comprend facilement que des fonctionnaires installés à Québec et qui n'ont jamais vu un hassidique de leur vie puissent ne pas avoir le réflexe d'aller inspecter leurs écoles. Mais, comment se fait-il qu'on ait échappé jusqu'à tout récemment l'une des plus grosses et des plus connues, la communauté Tosh installée à Boisbriand? Trois mille personnes qui n'utilisent pas de contraceptions et qui font des enfants comme on en faisait au Québec à une certaine époque. 5-6-7-8 enfants par famille. Les inspecteurs viennent à peine (septembre 2009) de découvrir les deux écoles «parallèles» pour garçons qui sont pourtant dans le bottin téléphonique. Les Tosh sont connus. C'est eux qui manifestent bruyamment leur antisionisme aux côtés des Palestiniens. Un groupe visible donc : trois mille personnes vêtues à la mode du 18e siècle en Europe de l'Est à Boisbriand en 2009 ne peuvent pas passer inaperçues. Comment se fait-il que personne ne se soit posé avant des questions sur la scolarisation de leurs enfants? Mais bon, quelqu'un a fini par allumer et en réponse à la visite des lieux par des inspecteurs, une mise en demeure a été envoyée aux écoles. Or, le processus juridique a été interrompu et le dossier a été transféré au cabinet de la ministre.
Deuxième groupe archiconnu : les Satmars, ceux des fenêtres givrées du Y.M.C.A de l'avenue du Parc dans le Mile-End. Ce groupe scolarise ses garçons dans deux écoles sans permis. Il faut dire que la première école est très discrète et difficile à trouver. Les trois autobus jaunes qui attendent à 15 h devant cet édifice aux allures on ne peut plus scolaires sur la rue St-Urbain, en plein cœur de la ville, rendent sûrement la tâche très difficile de débusquer cet endroit caché ! La même communauté détient une autre école dans une bâtisse industrielle de ville Mont-Royal dans l'illégalité complète. Depuis la fameuse entente, ces écoles ont finalement été inspectées et le rapport des commissaires 2007-2008 est sans ambiguïté : bâtisse inadéquate, enseignement non conforme, enseignants non qualifiés. Ils ont reçu des avertissements du ministère, mais ont refusé de se conformer. La communauté prétend aussi qu'au secondaire tous les garçons quittent le Québec... donc pas besoin de demander un permis! Vraiment? Le dossier devait être transféré au procureur de la couronne, il a plutôt été transféré au cabinet de la ministre Courchesne.
Quant aux écoles de la communauté Skver, qui ont signé l'entente avec le ministère, l'école secondaire est toujours illégale. L'institution allègue qu'elle ne donne plus de cours aux adolescents. Ah bon? Où sont-ils? Le dossier est lui aussi au cabinet. La seule communauté en voie de se conformer semble être la communauté Belz. En attendant, plusieurs centaines de jeunes hommes continuent d'évoluer dans un système qui échappe complètement aux lois québécoises.
Bien sûr, la situation est complexe. Délicate. Difficile. La confrontation des croyances, traditions et valeurs des communautés juives ultra orthodoxe constitue une patate chaude et compliquée dans les mains du ministère. Mais une question se pose : et si c'était des musulmans? Ou encore des catholiques orthodoxes qui retiraient sciemment leurs enfants du système scolaire, aurait-on la même attitude? A-t-on décidé de laisser faire et d'accommoder les hassidiques? Si oui, on aimerait bien le savoir, mais le ministère n'a pas daigné répondre à nos questions. Peut-être, parce que, si c'est effectivement le cas, d'autres groupes religieux réclameront le droit de scolariser leurs enfants selon leurs croyances. Et ça, c'est une boîte de pandore académique... qu'on ne veut surtout pas ouvrir sur la place publique.
(Source: Radio-Canada) Les six écoles juives qui contrevenaient aux règles du ministère de l'Éducation du Québec signent une entente avec la province. Québec compte bien avoir désormais à l'oeil ces établissements en ce qui a trait à leur curriculum et à l'embauche de leurs professeurs.
Le ministère de l'Éducation est parvenu à faire signer une entente à des écoles juives de Montréal qui contrevenaient au régime pédagogique édicté par Québec. gardent absolument pas, apporte chaque jours sont lot de contributions dans la dégén
Six écoles juives ont signé cet accord. Ces établissements montréalais s'engagent à:
respecter les heures d'enseignement prévues par la loi;
enseigner les matières obligatoires;
embaucher des professeurs qualifiés.
La ministre de l'Éducation, Michelle Courchesne, est déterminée à suivre la situation, afin que l'entente soit respectée par les écoles en question.
Cinq ans après une première tentative infructueuse, le réseau de télévision Al-Jazira revient à la charge et demande une licence de diffusion au Canada.
Cette fois, c'est sa chaîne anglaise, considérée comme plus «fréquentable» par ses critiques, qui frappe à la porte des salons canadiens. Avec, à sa tête, un atout de taille: Tony Burman, un Canadien qui a longtemps travaillé comme patron de l'information à la CBC. «Pour moi, c'est naturel de vouloir faire accéder les Canadiens à cette chaîne dont je suis très fier et qui est déjà diffusée dans 110 pays», a dit M. Burman lorsque La Presse l'a joint au Qatar, hier.
La chaîne anglaise d'Al-Jazira a donc présenté une demande de licence au CRTC qui pourrait déclencher des consultations publiques dès cette semaine. Le débat s'annonce houleux. Car, même s'ils n'ont aucun reproche précis à formuler à l'égard de la chaîne anglaise qu'ils suivent depuis deux ans, les opposants s'inquiètent. Pour eux, Al-Jazira reste synonyme d'une télévision militante qui donne le micro à «des racistes et des antisémites».
«Pendant ses deux premières années, la chaîne anglaise n'est pas tombée dans le type de racisme qu'on peut voir sur la chaîne arabe», reconnaît Bernie Farber, directeur du Congrès juif canadien. «Mais les deux réseaux ont la même image de marque», fait-il valoir. Encore tout récemment, une des chaînes d'Al-Jazira donnait le micro à un imam qui faisait l'apologie de l'Holocauste, note M. Farber.
Si le Congrès juif n'a pas encore fait son lit sur la demande d'Al-Jazira, une autre organisation juive, le Bnai Brith, ne mâche pas ses mots. «Cette télévision a une histoire de glorification du terrorisme, et même si la chaîne anglaise est différente, les deux appartiennent à la même organisation», dit Michael Mostyn, porte-parole du Bnai Brith.
Cet organisme n'a rien contre la venue d'Al-Jazira au Canada, mais à une condition: que le CRTC la surveille de près et s'assure qu'elle ne laisse rien passer qui soit «contraire aux valeurs canadiennes».
Surveiller le contenu
Le hic, c'est qu'il y a cinq ans, une exigence semblable avait suffi à faire dérailler le projet canadien d'Al-Jazira. À l'époque, le CRTC avait accepté de donner une licence à la chaîne arabe à la condition que son câblodiffuseur se porte garant de son contenu. La perspective d'une surveillance continue et coûteuse avait fait reculer les compagnies de câble. Le projet a avorté. A-t-il plus de chance d'aboutir cette fois-ci?
Tony Burman en est convaincu. «Nous avons fait une véritable percée pendant la guerre de Gaza, souligne-t-il. Nous étions la seule télévision internationale à pouvoir couvrir autant ce qui se passait à Gaza que ce qui se passait en Israël.» La guerre de Gaza a servi de rampe de lancement à la chaîne anglaise d'Al-Jazira, un peu comme la guerre du Golfe avait lancé CNN, note-t-il.
Tout en volant à la défense du réseau arabe, qui fait preuve de neutralité selon lui, Tony Burman fait valoir que les deux chaînes sont bien différentes, ne serait-ce qu'à cause de leur public. Al Jazira anglais répond aux intérêts de ses téléspectateurs dans 69 pays, et ne porte donc pas un intérêt particulier au monde arabe. Hier, par exemple, son bulletin d'information s'ouvrait avec un reportage sur la guerre civile au Sri Lanka. «Nous allons là où sont nos téléspectateurs, c'est-à-dire en Asie, en Amérique latine ou en Afrique, nous avons relativement peu d'auditeurs au Moyen-Orient», explique Tony Burman.
Il insiste aussi pour dire que les dirigeants du Qatar, qui fournissent 80 % du financement d'Al-Jazira, n'interviennent pas dans les décisions éditoriales.
«À mon avis, la chaîne anglaise d'Al-Jazira est comparable à CNN et BBC», dit Marc Raboy, expert des médias à l'Université McGill. Il dit comprendre les préoccupations du Congrès juif et du Bnai Brith, mais ne pas les partager. «Al-Jazira est la seule chaîne d'envergure internationale à être basée dans le Sud, elle fait du journalisme classique, mais avec une fraîcheur et une énergie particulières», dit-i
Marc Raboy, qui organise d'ailleurs un débat sur la demande de licence d'Al-Jazira mardi prochain à l'Université McGill, ne voit tout simplement aucune raison pour que cette chaîne ne soit pas offerte aux Canadiens.
Almost immediately after the day Christians and Muslims celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, Israel made good on threats issued the previous year by then-Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai when he warned that a “shoah“–the Hebrew word for holocaust–was about to befall the beleaguered people of Gaza. Termed “Operation Cast Lead” (in reference to the process of pouring molten lead into a small, confined space in achieving a desired shape) the Jewish state did indeed wage a 3 week mini-holocaust of sorts upon the Gentiles living in Gaza, the same area considered to be the most densely-populated piece of real estate on earth.
Following her humiliating defeat in Lebanon in the summer of 2006 and knowing a full year ahead of time what she was about to do in Gaza, Israel decided that priority #1 was to make sure the upcoming fight was an easy one. Seeing all persons in Gaza as enemy combatants (by virtue of the fact they were gentiles “polluting” the land given expressly to the Jews by their god Yahweh) she began by starving the Palestinian population of even the most basic necessities of life–including food, fuel, writing paper and even children’s clothes (which Israel said could be made into military uniforms) for over a year.
Having then determined that through this process of deliberate starvation Gaza’s immune system had been weakened to the point it posed no substantial threat to the virus-in-waiting, Israel then made sure there would be no media coverage of the upcoming massacre by driving out reporters and international human rights monitors and refusing them re-entry. In the words of one Rabbi Pruzansky–
“Israel was most clever in keeping Western media out of the conflict zone. No pictures means no lasting story, and no lasting story means no consequences…”
…or so the Jewish state had hoped…
When all was finished, close to 7,000 civilians had been killed or wounded, most of them women and children. 100,000 + had been made homeless, thousands of structures–including homes, hospitals, churches, mosques, schools, food storage facilities, water treatment plants, etc–were demolished. Livestock and farms (the only sustenance for a population of people being deliberately starved as a result of Israel’s blockade) had been destroyed. Otherwise fertile soil was permanently poisoned with phosphorus, making any future cultivation of food impossible. In sum, what was an already barely-functioning infrastructure for close to 1.5 million people–over half of them children–received a bullet to the back of the head, execution style by La Kosher Nostra, the gangster syndicate known as the Jewish state.
Apart from the new types of high-tech weapons used on the hapless victims however there were few substantive differences between this massacre and the hundreds of others taking place the previous 60 years. Just as in places such as Deir Yassin, Sabra and Shatilla (as well as the 400 Palestinian villages and towns systematically wiped off the map over the last half century) Gentiles were killed en mass. Bodies were piled up like cordwood, most of them women and children. The only thing not taking place this time was the bellies of pregnant women being slashed open and the children ripped out as had happened in previous massacres.
Otherwise, as far as Israel’s history goes, it was a case of “SSDD”, meaning “Same slaughter, different day”.
The one difference however between this most recent slaughter and its predecessors was this miracle of sorts known as the internet that–as in the case of Lebanon in 2006–caused serious problems for Israel and her ability to control the flow of information to the outside world. This being the case, what had previously been the simple task of neutralizing negative world opinion concerning her actions had now been made much more difficult.
As a result, stories from eyewitnesses on the ground in Gaza came flooding in like a tidal wave. Billions of people worldwide (who otherwise would never have known) now were witness to information and photos that left the civilized world in a state of shock and awe for all its raw, organic brutality. Women and children having the flesh burned off their bones by outlawed white phosphorus that Israel denied using…Fathers watching as their children were gunned down before their eyes in broad daylight after being ordered by IDF to leave their homes…Children watching their fathers and mothers being executed from as far away as a mere 30 feet…Attack dogs ripping the body of a little 4 year old Palestinian girl to pieces while at the same time Israeli soldiers opened fire on family members trying to rescue her…The body of 9 year-old Palestinian boy being used as target practice for an hour by the IDF while his father was forced to watch…
Every day, all day, for a full 3 weeks…
Despite the sense of surrealism, as if all of this were part of any typical slash and gore film produced in Hollywood rather than real-life events affecting real-life people, the truth is that the aforedescribed was not only real, but daily fare in the alternative media. Indeed, so voluminous were the accounts of raw savagery on the part of the Jewish state towards her Gentile victims in Gaza that time and space permit only brief mention of even a smattering of the brutal 3 week ordeal. Realistic estimates suggest the number of books required to cover the history of the massacre would no doubt require the size of any modest-sized library.
And at the very same time stories such as these (and thousands more) made their way across the internet, burning the details and images of this recent slaughter into the memories of people in every corner of the globe, almost every night for 3 weeks the same gangster state responsible for the carnage did what she always does best–she lied. Knowing it is much easier to sell a lie with a pretty face than some Golda Meir look-alike, she did so by bringing front and center some semi-attractive, hair-flitting, eye-batting, smiling, giggling, alluring female spokesperson to seduce a morally-outraged world into believing the rapist’s version of events rather than the victim. Employing that old “By way of deception, thou shalt do war“ business espoused by her intelligence service Mossad, press conference after press conference after press conference she told the world with a straight face that everything being alleged by eyewitnesses was mere fantasy and fabrication.
Then, in the same breath, and especially when confronted with damning photos that do not lie, she contradicted herself–over and over and over–saying the victim “had it coming“, followed again by denial after denial after denial of the particulars and doing so with smirks, snide smiles, and snickering/sneering tones, casting an air of ridicule over the incalculably-high number of war crimes that–had the victims been Jews instead of Gentiles–would no doubt have already been made the subject of a half dozen/full-length/star-studded films a mere month afterward their occurrence.
According to the “eternal victims” side of the story, there was no use of phosphorus bombs, and the photos and videos alleging such were the result of sophisticated, well-organized and well-funded Islamic cinemagraphic magic designed to fool people. There was no humanitarian crisis, no civilian casualties…The photos of children with bullet holes in the middle of their heads or in their chests were child actors recruited to do such by Hamas. Those children without arms, legs, heads, or internal organs were the victims of Hamas snipers, because Jews simply do not kill civilians. She denied the deliberate targeting of Red Cross and Red Crescent ambulances, mosques, schools, churches, hospitals, electric power plants, water treatment and food storage facilities saying that indeed if such structures suffered any damage, it had to have been sabotage by Ahab the Arab who then made it look like Israel did it.
Besides the violence itself, there were other eyewitness reports to consider as well which Israel also denied vehemently. Detailed accounts of IDF troops going into Arab homes and–like a gaggle of drunk, marauding bandits–destroying everything in sight, smearing their own defecation on walls, beds, kitchen tables and eating utensils, or spray-painting the walls of homes with racist graffiti such as “Arabs need 2 die,” “Make war not peace”, and “1 down, 999,999 to go” and a host of other goodies were made available to a captivated world audience.
In the meantime, an army of “activists” (professional troublemakers, liars and obfuscators) were recruited by Israel’s intelligence services to flood the internet, print media and talk radio with conflicting and contradictory propaganda concerning this latest manifestation of undeniable, institutionalized hatred of Gentiles taking place in Gaza. And, as usually takes place when discussing Jewish issues, rather than a sane, rational, intelligent discussion of the “facts on the ground” taking place, the mob working for Israeli interests ascribed all the outrage felt and expressed by billions of persons around the world to the typical business of–surprise, surprise–“anti-Semitism” rather than to Israel‘s evil deeds.
Technically speaking however–according to Jewish law Israel’s defenders were correct in everything they said, minus of course the business of it all being faked by Hamas. Junkies addicted to the narcotic of Jewish exceptionalism could go to sleep at night with a clear conscience knowing they had not violated that infamous commandment with regards to bearing false witness and thus had not sinned in the eyes of their god Yahweh as pertains operation Cast Lead. They could deny everything, from deliberately killing innocent women ad children to the humanitarian crisis to the deliberate destruction of infrastructure with a straight face, just as their spokesbabes did, knowing that what they said was the God’s honest truth.
Of course, the hitch in all of it was a technicality of sorts they did not bother sharing with the rest of the outraged world, namely this thing known as Jewish law based on the teachings of both the Old Testament and the Talmud. Since Palestinians (and Gentiles in general) are considered animals created in human form to serve the Jews, therefore all the aforementioned war crimes did not apply. Furthermore, as it was seen through Jewish eyes, the assault on Gaza was a fulfillment of the commands given by Yahweh to the forbearers of the Jewish state thousands of years ago as recounted in the 1st 5 books of the Old Testament, and God did not put a time limit on all of the bloodshed. Speaking through people such as Moses, Joshua, Saul, David, Solomon and the rest of the gang, it was an ‘eternal’ struggle, an idea echoed by various rabbis in the run-up to Cast Lead. Besides, and even if it weren’t this “eternal“ thing as some believed, to not follow in the footsteps of their founding fathers who “made their bones” thousands of years ago in slaying the ancient Canaanites, Jebusites, Midianites, Perizzites et al would have been the ultimate show of disrespect to their “blessed” memories.
However, Israel and her supporters knew this would never fly. They knew the consequences of the Gentile world finding out what it is Judaism teaches concerning Gentiles, and given the fact that Israel’s very existence is tied to her feeding off the Gentile western world’s lifeblood–whether it is money, technology or military armaments–therefore, rather than introduce this ‘evidence’ into the record–that Gentiles were not human and therefore according to Jewish law what took place in Gaza was not technically a war crime–Israel and her spokespersons simply lied and said the eyewitnessed events “never happened”.
Now however, in an admission suspiciously stunning for its frankness and seemingly out of the clear blue members of Israel’s military are coming forward and admitting what the rest of the sane world already knew to be the case–that the war waged against the civilians of Gaza was deliberate and that all persons–women and children included–were considered enemy combatants from the get-go.
Appearing first in Israeli’s Haaretz news service and then picked up by virtually ever mainstream news source in the US and throughout the West, the statements from IDF who were there on the ground in Gaza are an almost-mirrored reflection of the charges made months ago by those in the alternative media. Stories of women and children being deliberately targeted by machine gun fire, missiles, bombs, mortars, every instrument of death unleashed upon a civilian population that the angel of death known as the Jewish state had in her arsenal, and now rather than it being limited to the testimony of only “anti-Semites” “conspiracy theorists” and “Jew haters” (meaning the victims themselves) now “wise guys” from within “La Famiglia” are singing too.
Besides the inordinate (dare we say unprecedented) sense of honesty surrounding the press stories, the other thing sticking out like a sore thumb is the quite-noticeable absence of the all-too-typical censorship on the part of a western media held almost entirely by Jewish interests. Things that would never be discussed openly (much less even mentioned) in the last week are now found emblazoned across pages in some of the biggest media outlets in the US with the same kind of enthusiasm as the Bernie Madoff scandal or the coverage of Elliot Spitzer’s troubles a year ago, and not just newspapers, but TV and radio as well.
In the meantime, the world–Jew and Gentile alike–are now reacting with shock over this latest admission that Israel indeed engaged in targeting civilians in Gaza as if it were the last thing any sane person should have expected. Those who scoffed and scowled at the alternative media in its coverage months ago and reacted with hostility to the assertion that ‘the most moral army in the world’ deliberately targeted civilians now find themselves eating some bitter crow.
The truth however is that this latest disclosure should have been as much a shock to the ‘enlightened’ west as a farmer coming out to find his chickens ripped to pieces after leaving the fox in charge of guarding the henhouse. After all, one need do no more than consider the tidal wave of barking and snarling just in the last year from the various “big dogs” in the pack that gave ample warning of what was to come. Besides the aforementioned “shoah” comment from Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai there is former chief rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu writing to Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert saying there was “absolutely no moral prohibition against the indiscriminate killing of civilians during a potential massive military offensive on Gaza”, citing as precedence the biblical story of the Shechem massacre and adding that “an entire city holds collective responsibility for the immoral behavior of individuals.” His son Shmuel (also a rabbi and obviously a chip off the old block) famously pontificated that “If they don’t stop after we kill 100, then we must kill a thousand, and if they do not stop after 1,000 then we must kill 10,000, and if they still don’t stop we must kill 100,000, even a million. Whatever it takes…” IDF Chief Rabbi Brig.-Gen. Avichai Ronsky, in addition to the many statements he has made over the years glorifying the good old days of Old Testament butchery of Gentiles is credited with “whuppin” up IDF fighting spirit prior to Operation Cast lead by comparing the Palestinians to the Old Testament Philistines while advocating the idea that Israel cannot afford to be “enticed by the folly of the Gentiles” in “showing mercy”. Rabbi Dov Lior, another religious capo overseeing the “religious needs” of the IDF remarked in a speech to recent military graduates that “The sons of Torah are taught not to pity their enemies” adding “We need ethics from the Torah, not the Christian world, which teaches to turn the other cheek…” Rabbi David Bar-Chayim, another prominent religious leader in the Jewish state wrote in the run-up to the massacre that “We’re talking about a society dedicated to murder and savagery and barbarism…These people are evil. When such people are destroyed, we have no tears to shed… I don’t believe there are innocent civilians.” Another pamphlet distributed to IDF bases just prior to the initiation of the assault read “…As for the population, it is not innocent, and we call on you to ignore any strange doctrines and orders that confuse the logical way of fighting the enemy.”
For her part Israel is–surprise, surprise–denying it all. Through her various spokesman she still maintains her innocence in the face of overwhelming evidence and stands by the worn out assertion that her military–yes, the same that now stands self-accused of deliberately shooting, bombing and incinerating over a thousand innocent women and children–is the “most moral army in the world”.
Naturally, a significant number of people are jumping for joy over these latest revelations being made public. It is in many ways similar to the jubilation that occurred following CBS’ program 60 Minutes airing Jan 25, entitled “Time Running Out For A Two-State Solution?” that gave untypically fair coverage of Palestinian suffering.
However, it is again important to keep in mind several old sayings, the first of which is that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is, followed by that old one concerning “Greeks bearing gifts” that resulted from hard lessons learned during the Trojan war.
But most important of all, it is the motto of Israel’s intelligence service Mossad, “By way of deception, thou shalt do war” that people should consider before breaking out the champagne and celebrating.
The truth is, as indicated earlier the only difference between the latest carnage taking place in Gaza and what has taken place over the course of the last 60 years is that in this case Israel and her paid liars were not as successful this time around in painting the kind of deceptive picture needed to neutralize bad press and manipulate public opinion in her favor. Due to the internet and the availability of raw information, analysis and commentary that has not passed through the kosher filter, Merlin is not able to cast the kind of magic spell he did in years past. Every mother cut to pieces or incinerated by Israeli bombs, every child shot in the head by one of God’s chosen snipers accompanied by denials on the part of the Jewish state underscores who the real liars and terrorists are, and Jewish interests, who have made the business of controlling entire societies by controlling what they see, hear and read, are losing control over this sector and they know it.
Long before articles dealing with IDF forces “coming clean” and admitting they witnessed deliberate targeting of civilians were articles quoting Israeli officials and their worry over the fact Israel’s image had suffered as a result of the war. They are quoted saying that a “re-branding” of the Jewish state’s image was necessary, one Israeli foreign ministry official saying after Gaza that “The country needs to position itself as an attractive personality“ if they are to “get where we need to go over the long term.” As a result, Israel’s Foreign Ministry was granted an extra $2 million to improve Israel’s image through “cultural and information diplomacy”. Arye Mekel, the ministry’s deputy director general for cultural affairs was quoted saying “We will send well-known novelists and writers overseas, theater companies, exhibits…This way you show Israel’s prettier face, so we are not thought of purely in the context of war.”
In other words, it is all a matter of marketing, of slapping a new coat of paint on an old, dilapidated house and calling it a mansion. It is a facelift of sorts for a woman whose loose morals and fast living are beginning to betray the fact she has a lot of miles under the hood. It is no different than a convicted murderer appearing before the court on sentencing day with a fresh shave, combed hair, clean hands, new suit and begging the court for mercy, saying he has “found Jesus” and resolved to confess his sins, do his penance and amend his life, amen, and all in the interest of avoiding the death penalty.
At this point, the parasite Israel cannot exist without the host. She needs the good will and cooperation of the west, with its wealth, technology and, lest we forget, military power if this great experiment in Jewish self-rule in the Middle East is to remain viable. Having made enemies of 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide, knowing Russia is wise to her ways and not banking on good relations with up-and-coming powerhouses such as China, Israel must remain firmly attached to the West for “existential” reasons, and the only way to achieve this is to “re-brand” herself in the eyes its people. Let all hope for the sake of her future victims that Zionism’s magic spell is beginning to wear off and the West will decide to give most favored nation status to someone else besides the Jewish state.
Whatever the case, the one thing all can walk away knowing it that someone is lying, and considering which of the two characters has the most to lose by such accusations being made public, it is not hard to figure out who that might be.
In the meantime those who up to this moment have enjoyed a love affair of sorts with the Jewish state, believing she could do no wrong and who automatically gave her the benefit of the doubt in 11 out of 10 cases need to start asking relevant questions. What other infamous events have taken place where Israel was caught red-handed in the midst of the dirtiest business there is–terrorism, mass murder, etc, etc, etc–and yet managed to talk her way towards a public acquittal? Is the world now justified in questioning Israel’s version of events regarding her 2-hr attack on the USS Liberty in 1967 resulting in the deaths of 34 servicemen? What about the hundreds of Israeli spies arrested on 9/11, some seen by witnesses cheering as the Twin Towers were collapsing, an event these spies later admitted on Israeli TV they were “sent to document“? What about the murder of America’s president, JFK, the only US president to stand up to and actively work against the Jewish state? What about his brother RFK, who as JFK’s Attorney General planned to reign in the American Zionist Council, forerunner to today’s spy/blackmail agency AIPAC and whose top 2 leaders are currently under indictment for espionage against the US?
So many instances of Zionist denial and duplicity and therefore so many reasons to doubt the real motives for this latest disclosure….
But one thing the world should have learned by now is that a leopard does not change its spots, and therefore it is wise to beware of Zionists bearing gifts.
Obama a serré la main de Chavez mais refusé de rencontrer Netanyahou après que ce dernier ait annulé une visite à Washington. Il soulève en agissant ainsi la grogne les sionistes, à qui il s'était adressé avant hier pour leur dire que le temps est venu de conclure une paix durable avec la Palestine.
Alan Keyes, le candidat favori de Joe The Plumber, était invité aujourd'hui à l'émission du "patriote" Alex Jones. Au cours de la discussion, il s'en est pris à Obama qu'il accuse d'être un "socialiste" et a dénoncé ses plans de loi martiale.
Alex Jones (Infowars, Prisonplanet) nous présente Alan Keyes comme un "insider" bienveillant issu de l'ONU et dénonçant le plan de loi martiale.
Ce qu'Alex ne dit pas c'est qu'Alan Keyes est lié d'une profonde amitié avec les "conservateurs cashers" et ce depuis ses années d'université alors qu'il était colocataire avec le néocon juif William Kristol (fils du maître néocon/trotskyste Irving Kristol).
Pas exactement la référence la plus fiable...
Cela est ironique qu'Alan Keyes traite Obama de "communiste", considérant que ses propres commanditaires sont des trotskystes qui essaient de se faire passer pour des conservateurs. (On se souviendra de Ronald Reagan l'"anti-communiste" dont l'administration était entièrement dirigée par les néocons/trostskyistes.)
De plus, Keyes était un fervent pro-Bush! Il a appuyé les mesures d'état-policier imposées par l'administration Bush! Et maintenant, il prétend dénoncer tout ça! Quel hypocrite!
Sa petite entrevue avec Alex Jones poussera-t-elle les "Patriotes" américains dans le piège des conservateurs cashers?
(...)Comme sous Carter, [Wolfowitz] est chargé d’élaborer une vision à long terme des évolutions géopolitiques, et du rôle diplomatique à jouer pour les États-Unis. Un poste à responsabilité, occupé par le passé par George Kennan, le théoricien de la Guerre froide. Wolfowitz recrute pour cela une équipe fournie : Scooter Libby, juriste de Philadelphie, l’économiste Francis Fukuyama, le conservateur afro-américain Alan Keyes, mais aussi Zalmay Khalilzad, qui a l’avantage de venir de l’Université de Chicago et d’être un ancien élève de Wohlstetter.

Julien Dray, porte-parole de Ségolène Royal a, dans une récente interview au très droitier « Israël magazine », confirmé les déclarations de Raymond Barre sur le « lobby juif ». Julien Dray déclare ainsi « qu’il y a une tentation de la communauté, ces dernières années, de se transposer sur le modèle américain » et qu’il « faut sortir de la logique de lobby, et se comporter de manière républicaine. Parce que si on va vers un affrontement lobby contre lobby, le lobby juif perdra ».
Des déclarations qui risquent de déplaire à la communauté juive française, déjà largement acquise à Nicolas Sarkozy. D’après l’institut de sondage IFOP (cité par Marianne), et sur la base de deux premières vagues d’enquêtes réalisées pour le Cevipog au cours de l’année 2006, le potentiel électoral de Sarkozy, qui mesure la probabilité de vote en sa faveur, s’élève à 65 % parmi les personnes interrogées qui se déclarent comme juives contre 47 % dans la totalité de l’échantillon. Au contraire, le potentiel de Ségolène Royal est de 26 % contre 45 % dans l’échantillon général. Selon Jérôme Fourquet de l’IFOP, « l’électorat juif est l’électorat confessionnel le plus marqué à droite . »Ce qui plaît à la communauté juive, c’est d’abord le style Sarkozy, selon un dirigeant communautaire « ce n’est pas seulement un homme politique, c’est quelqu’un qui ressent les choses comme nous ».
Le dirigeant de l’UMP n’a jamais caché son ascendance juive et multiplie depuis son installation à la mairie de Neuilly, les contacts avec les personnes les plus influentes de la communauté. Pour cela il s’appuie sur le président de la LICRA, Patrick Gaubert, et sur quelques personnalités populaires dans la communauté.
Citing the importance of the taxpayer movement in California, California Republican Party Chairman Ron Nehring today strongly condemned the use of anti-Semitic material used to promote the recent April 15 TEA party in San Mateo County.
"The taxpayer movement is incredibly important for California, and we applaud the success of the tea parties that took place across the state on April 15. Because we remain intensely interested in the growth and success of the mainstream taxpayer movement, we strongly condemn the use of anti-Semitic imagery in the promotion of the recent event in San Mateo County.
[...]
Chairman Nehring issued the statement in response to the use of anti-Semitic graphics used on the "Bay Area Ron Paul Campaign for Liberty" website in conjunction with the April 15 TEA Party in San Mateo. The image pictured a bucket of money being poured into a funnel with a Star of David on it, which in turn drips blood into a bottle where a person holding a Palestinian flag is seen drowning in blood. The text reads "Uncle Sam Reminds You: KEEP PAYING TAXES. The ongoing extermination of Palestinian Children Can't be Done Without Your Help."
On the Sunday morning talk show, "Face the Nation," a senior adviser to President Obama, David Axelrod, said the tea parties organized April 15 to protest massive government spending could "mutate into something that's unhealthy."
The comment was immediately decried by elements of the blogosphere as an attempt to tar tea parties by inference – hinting that they are breeding grounds for the kind of antigovernment activity that led to the Oklahoma City bombings.
Say Anything, A North Dakota political blog, commented: "'Mutate into something unhealthy?' Like, uh, domestic terrorism? Is that what's left unsaid here?"
A sense of injustice is already acute among many tea partyers. Though Mr. Obama remains broadly popular, Dante Chinni of Patchwork Nation recently noted that he has created the widest partisan gap in America since the 1960s, according to poll numbers in the Washington Times. In other words, many people like him – a lot – but those who don't, really don't.
The tea parties have tapped into a sense of powerlessness among many conservatives and libertarians who do not approve of Obama and his popularity.
In addition, tea partyers feel that their movement has been willfully ignored by the mainstream media, wrote staff writer Patrik Jonsson. Saturday, they declared that the tea parties on Tax Day were the largest outpouring of American protesters since March 25, 2006, when 750,000 people marched in Los Angeles in support of rights for immigrants, Patrik added. Critics politely disagreed, with Patrik pointing out:
Critics of the movement said the numbers aren't really that impressive, especially given the air time given to the topic by, among other conservative organizations, Fox News, which seemed at times to be promoting the events more than covering them.
Mr. Axelrod's comments have now stoked these passions further. The comments come at a time when the Obama administration has already drawn criticism for a Department of Homeland Security report warning of a potential rise in militia activity in the United States.
"The historical election of an African American president and the prospect of policy changes are proving to be a driving force for rightwing extremist recruitment and radicalization," it reads.
The Minnesota Majority, a conservative blog, suggests that the timing of the report coincides with the tea parties: "The rise of the national 'Tea Party' protest movement may be considered a part of this radicalization and recruitment. Joining policy-focused organizations like Minnesota Majority, the NRA, or the Taxpayers League could also be construed in this way."
Already, the Missouri Highway Patrol superintendent has ceased the distribution of a Feb. 20 report that suggested that fundamentalist Christians and supporters of presidential candidate Ron Paul could be potential militia members.
Taken together, these events have created a siege mentality within parts of the tea party movement that Axelrod's comments could only inflame.
Moshe Feiglin, head of Manhigut Yehudit (Jewish Leadership Movement) said last week that if he was elected prime minister, he would try to rebuild the destroyed Temple in Jerusalem.
"I don't know if I will have the merit of doing something that is the aspiration of every Jew," said Feiglin. "But if I become prime minister I will take away control over the Temple Mount from the Wakf [the Islamic trust] and reinstate Jewish sovereignty over the entire mount and, hopefully, rebuild the Temple."
Feiglin said that rebuilding the Temple and all that it symbolized was the essence of a Jewish state.
The federal government has hired two former White House spokesmen to help raise Canada's profile in the United States, a spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office confirmed Thursday.
Mike McCurry — who served as press secretary to former U.S. president Bill Clinton — and Ari Fleischer, who held the same role under former president George W. Bush, have been hired to boost Canada's profile in the U.S., said Kory Teneycke, the communications director for the PMO.
The New York-based Fleischer, who exited the White House in 2003, helped organize interviews during Harper's March visit.
McCurry, who was White House press secretary from 1994 to1998, is a principal at Public Strategies Washington, a Washington-based communications firm. While this isn't the first time Canada has hired lobbyists to launch an American media campaign, it's the first time the government is being open and transparent about it, Teneycke said, though he refused to discuss how much the lobbyists will be paid or how long they will be retained.
The aim is to promote the strength of Canada's banking system and stable supply of energy, he added.
The government believes the Washington lobbyists have contacts the Canadian Embassy doesn't have, and can pitch interviews directly to prominent broadcasters and journalists.
"I think it makes a lot of sense," Paul Cellucci, a former U.S. ambassador to Canada, told CBC News.
Michael Kergin, former Canadian ambassador to Washington, once told him Canada just could not get media coverage in the U.S, he said.
"Michael Kergin used to say he could take all of his clothes off in front of the Washington Monument and he wouldn't be able to get the national media down in Washington to pay attention to him. So I think that's the problem, and I think that's what the Prime Minister's Office is trying to address."
Les consultants américains de Harper coutent cher Ottawa -- L'embauche de deux anciens porte-parole de la Maison-Blanche par le premier ministre Harper a coûté près de 50 000 $ aux contribuables jusqu'à maintenant. Ari Fleischer et Mike McCurry ont chacun touché environ 25 000 $ pour un contrat de quelques jours.
Rappelons que l'attaque sioniste du 11 septembre 2001 est advenue à peine quatre jours après la tenue de la première conférence de Durban sur le racisme, qui s'est transformée en véritable lynchage public de l'état israélien.
Durban ===> 11 septembre Durban 2 ===> second 11 septembre???
Lundi dernier, le président de l'UEJF, Raphaël Haddad, coiffé d'une perruque bariolée de clown, s'était élancé vers la tribune où s'apprêtait à prendre la parole le président iranien Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Il avait alors lancé un nez rouge de clown dans sa direction en lui criant "raciste". 7sur7.be/7s7/fr/1505/Monde/article/detail/829919/2009/04/23/Trois-ONG-exclues-de-Durban.dhtml
Durban II : un «clown» venu de Lyon (...) Lundi matin, Yoann Sportouch apprend que le président iranien doit intervenir à la tribune. La présence de Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, connu pour ses attaques contre Israël, est, selon lui, « inacceptable » : « Comme tout ceci ressemblait à une farce, à un cirque, nous avons décidé de marquer le coup en portant perruques et nez rouges ». L'opération est préparée dans la précipitation. Peu avant 15 heures, il rejoint au Palais des nations une douzaine de membres de l'UEJF. Ils sont accrédités, mais ne peuvent accéder à la salle plénière, dont chaque porte est gardée par un vigile. Il tente à plusieurs reprises d'entrer, quand la surveillance des vigiles semble se relâcher. « Ce n'était pas évident mais après quatre tentatives, j'ai réussi, perruque dans mon sac et un nez rouge dans ma poche », lance-t-il. Sur les douze membres du commando, trois seulement ont pu entrer dans la salle. Quand Raphaël Haddad, président de l'UEJF, ouvre le bal avec sa perruque, Yoann enfile la sienne, se lève et lance son nez rouge sur le podium. Il hurle « Raciste, raciste ! » avant d'être menotté et embarqué par le service de sécurité. « À la fin, il ne me restait plus que mon collier sans le badge » déclare-t-il, satisfait de son action. (...)
Alors que les principaux médias occidentaux ont qualifié d’haineux le discours du président Ahmadinedjad, un discours pourtant inattaquable dénonçant le racisme de la politique israélienne, une caméra du Centre Zahra France a filmé l’envers du décors.
C’est ainsi qu’on se rend compte que le manifestant déguisé en clown n’est autre que Raphael HADDAD, président de l’Union des Étudiants Juifs de France (UEJF). On pouvait se demander comment un simple manifestant avait pu se rendre si près de l’intervenant, nous en avons désormais la réponse…
Pire, nous découvrons ensuite qui est l’instigateur principal de cette immense manipulation. Dans un coin, proche d’une porte de sortie, on aperçoit Richard PRASQUIER, président du CRIF, appeler les représentants des pays “soumis” à quitter la salle !
Durban II vouée à l'échec avant même d'avoir commencé?
Après le fiasco de la première édition, la deuxième conférence des Nations unies sur le racisme s'ouvre lundi à Genève sur fond de boycotts de plusieurs pays, dont les Etats-Unis et l'Allemagne, qui craignent qu'elle serve uniquement de plate-forme aux pays musulmans pour s'en prendre à Israël et interdire toute critique de la religion.
Après l'annonce hier de la non-participation des Etats-Unis, le flou régnait dimanche quant à la présence de plusieurs pays européens à l'ouverture des débats lundi au Palais des nations à Genève. Si les Pays-Bas ont d'ores et déjà fait savoir qu'ils boycotteraient la conférence, jugeant «inacceptable» le projet de déclaration finale, d'autres pays de l'Union européenne tentaient encore de faire bouger les lignes avant de faire connaître leur décision.
Après des consultations avec d'autres pays de l'Union européenne, l'Allemagne a annoncé ce soir qu'elle ne serait pas présente à Genève, de peur que la conférence ne serve de «plate-forme pour d'autres intérêts».
La France, elle, ne devrait faire connaître officiellement sa position que demain matin, affirmait-on ce soir au Quai d'Orsay. En début d'après-midi, le ministre des Affaires étrangères Bernard Kouchner avait jugé «important de présenter un front commun de l'Europe».
Un front européen rendu impossible par les boycotts des pays-Bas, de l'Italie, et de l'Allemagne. De plus, la présidence tchèque de l'Union européenne a estimé que la décision de participer ou non revenait à chacun des Etats membres, et qu'une position commune pourrait ne pas être arrêtée.
Pour sa part, la Grande-Bretagne va envoyer en Suisse une délégation de diplomates dirigée par son ambassadeur aux Nations unies à Genève, Peter Gooderham. «A ce stade, nous allons y aller, mais nous surveillerons la conférence, nous ne voulons pas d'une déclaration finale qui soit faussée», a expliqué un porte-parole du Foreign Office tenu à l'anonymat, précisant que Londres s'opposerait à «une tentative inacceptable de nier l'Holocauste».
Durban II, également boycottée par Israël et le Canada, a pour but de mesurer les progrès accomplis en matière de lutte contre le racisme depuis la première réunion de ce type il y a huit ans en Afrique du Sud. Mais, du fait de la présence de nombreux dirigeants musulmans, parmi lesquels l'Iranien Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, les pays occidentaux craignent que la conférence ne serve de forum mondial à la critique d'Israël, et s'opposent au concept de «diffamation de religion» que les pays islamiques ont un moment souhaité inclure dans la déclaration finale.
La première conférence de Durban avait été le théâtre de controverses du même type. Les Etats-Unis et Israël avaient claqué la porte avant la fin, hostiles à un avant-projet de déclaration qui critiquait l'Etat hébreu et assimilait le sionisme à du racisme. Ces deux éléments ne figuraient pas dans le communiqué final, qui s'était contenté d'évoquer la «détresse des Palestiniens» et le droit d'IsraJel à la sécurité. Le projet de déclaration de Durban II ne mentionne pas nommément Israël, mais conserve la référence à la «détresse des Palestiniens».
De plus, pour de nombreux pays, le concept de «diffamation de la religion» équivaudrait à une interdiction de critiquer l'islam et représenterait, de fait, une limitation de la liberté d'expression. Les références directes à la «diffamation de religion» et à Israël ont toutefois été abandonnées le mois dernier lors des débats préparatoires, mais elles pourraient réapparaître dans le document final, à moins qu'un consensus ne soit trouvé entre toutes les parties.
Après avoir laissé planer le doute sur leur présence, les Etats-Unis ont annoncé hier qu'ils ne se rendraient pas à Genève. Dimanche, Barack Obama a expliqué que le projet de communiqué final risquait de répéter Durban I, où «les gens ont exprimé un antagonisme envers Israël d'une manière qui a souvent été complètement hypocrite et contre-productive».
La haute commissaire des Nations unies pour les droits de l'Homme Navi Pillay, qui présidera la conférence Durban II, s'est déclaré «choquée et profondément déçue» par la décision de Washington.
Le pape Benoît XVI a, quant à lui, salué la tenue de la conférence, disant espérer que les participants travaillent «avec un esprit de dialogue et d'acceptation réciproque, pour mettre fin à toutes les formes de racisme, de discrimination et d'intolérance».
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.”
