Tom Cruise Tells Off Some Nasty Zionist Propaganda Operatives

2009-01-04T02:45:09Z

The sign said "Zionism equals self determination". Hopefully we are learning what Zionism really is.... the purest form of racism that uses the Bible as a tool with which to enslave millions of Christians who believe it's an honorable thing to turn over your logical mind to "God" and "surrender"... Oh how great heaven will be later if you longsuffer and slave away kissing jew butt while here on earth. Suckas.

Was Iran, perhaps, BLUFFING(!!) all the while?

2008-10-22T10:21:08Z

So much for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmedinjad [sic] suggesting all the while that Iran had clear designs on "wip[ing] Israel off the map" with nuclear weapons launched from Iran--and John McCain's wanting to open a new front in the Iraqi Theater of the ur-RAHOWA Against Terrorism.

The Israeli daily gazetta Ha'aretz (Hebrew; "The Land") has an interesting analysis suggesting that Iran may have been exaggerating its capabilities all along in the interest of stoking fear and paranoia:

Even though the senior Iranian official was speaking to a closed forum, it would not be at all surprising if his words were actually intended for an Israeli audience. Alongside the public diplomatic struggle - and Israel's secret military preparations - against the Iranian nuclear projects, there is also a war of threats and oratory going on between the two nations.

The announcements of Ayatollah Seyed G. Safavi look to be another stage in the Iranian attempt to create a balance of fear and deterrence with Israel.

The past two years, whether because of Iranian progress toward acquiring nuclear capability, or because of the absence of Ariel Sharon from the political helm, have seen a gradual escalation in Israeli pronouncements about Iran. The end of the primary season in Kadima may have reined in slightly the enthusiasm for public declarations, but even responsible Israeli statesmen such as Defense Minister Ehud Barak, speaking most recently on the matter last Sunday, take care to emphasize that the military option, as a last resort, is still on the table.

Last week MK Isaac Ben-Israel (Kadima), a former major general and someone very close to prime minister-designate Tzipi Livni, said Israel will not allow Iran to have nuclear weapons, but that there was still time to prevent that eventuality. "It's not like we're going to bomb them in another three months," said Ben-Israel.

When Iranian experts dissect the Israeli declarations, the question is what do they emphasize, the threat ("We will not permit"), or the reservation ("Not now"). The reasonable assumption is that Safawi, similar to the Israeli and international media, does not really know what Israel is planning in the short term. But Teheran is interested in warning Jerusalem that as far as it is concerned, all options are open.

This was not the first such report: Two days ago the press in Teheran reported on a huge exercise of Iran's air force, including claims of a practice air attack on Israel. About 100 warplanes, it was claimed, flew 1,200 kilometers and demonstrated their capabilities - something that can be seen as a counter to the reports in June that the Israel Air Force had conducted a similar exercise, which included the simulated bombing of Iran.

The problem with Safawi's statements on a preemptive attack on Israel, and even more so with the reports of the Iranian air force exercise, is that they are not based on any proven capability.

A cautious estimate would be that the damage Iran could cause to Israel today is very limited. The Iranians would have to rely on their local representatives in the region, Hezbollah and Hamas, or to wait until they obtain nuclear weapons - two or three years down the road, even according to the most pessimistic estimates in the West.

Most Iranian warplanes are remnants from the days of the Shah, obsolete American planes. Prof. Anthony Cordesman, a senior U.S. strategic analyst, said in a lecture here last July that only a few of the 300 warplanes the Iranians have are capable of flying at all, and that they lack advanced aeronautical systems. It is highly unlikely that a significant number of such planes could penetrate Israeli defenses.

The second possibility for an Iranian attack is with long-range ground to ground missiles. But Cordesman, like other military experts, claims the Iranian missile program is less advanced than it may appear to be. He estimates the Iranians have a few dozen - and no more than a hundred - missiles with a range capable of reaching Israel. The launch capabilities of Iran's missiles have been tested only a few times and it is very hard to estimate their accuracy.

For now, without the ability to mount nuclear warheads on these missiles, an attack would consist of only conventional weapons. In other words, the damage they could cause would be similar to the destruction left by the Iraqi Scud missiles during the 1991 Gulf War.

It's hard to imagine what good such an attack would do for Iran in the near future. After all, this would be the best way to guarantee an Israeli counter-attack, as well as firm international intervention to halt the Iranian nuclear program, a program that constitutes such an important goal of the Iranian government.

In other words, it looks as if His Fraudulency and his droogs have the last laugh, John McCain (of "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran" notoriety) included, if the preceding analysis has any credibility whatsoever.

Sean Hannity: Anti-Semitic by Association

2008-11-03T14:21:39Z

From HuffPo's Jason Linkins:

You got to give credit to the American people, who managed to get through an entire evening of debate without ever once asking a question about William Ayers. It's almost as if the public has more pressing things on their minds these days. Of course, this is what everyone's been talking about since the weekend! What if they gave a debate and no one came with discussion of the voguish idiot question du jour?

Well rest assured, America, after the debate there was one venue where discussion on Ayers came hot and heavy: the Fox News Channel. I think it's all they talked about, actually! Everytime we tuned over to Fox, it was "YAAAAAAGHH OBAMA'S TERRORIST PAL!" Fred Thompson wanted to talk about it! Karl Rove wanted to talk about. And most of all, Sean Hannity wanted to talk about it with Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs, who'd already endured the business end of Mark Halperin's idiot vlog on the subject. Well, finally, Gibbs decided he just wasn't having any more of it, and in precisely the sort of parry that one wanted to see turned the guilt-by-association game on Hannity, asking him, "Are you anti-Semitic?"

A new black mark on McCain: Past connexions with racists

2008-10-11T04:05:39Z

With the McCain/Palin campaign resorting to desperation tactics to save what little shred of credibility they may have in Indecision 2008, along comes word that John McCain sat on the directorate of a rather shady "anti-Communist" group with known connexions to racists and white supremacists.

RawStory (as gets the hat tip for this video,via RawReplay) explains further:

NBC's Tom Brokaw talked to Paul Begala about how the McCain campaign is attacking Barack Obama's association with William Ayers, who was a member of the Weather Underground.

Brokaw played a clip of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin criticizing Obama's connection to Ayers by referencing a New York Times article published on the subject.

"It turns out one of his earlier supporters is a man who, according to The New York Times, is a domestic terrorist," Palin said.

After pointing out that Obama was eight years old when Ayers' planned the attacks, Begala believes "guilt by association" attacks are dangerous territory for McCain.

Begala said, "This guilt by association path is going to be trouble ultimately for the McCain campaign. You can go back--I have written a book about the candidate. A dozen researchers go through him. I didn't even put this in the book. John McCain sat on a board.

"It was the U.S. Council for World Freedom. It was chaired by a guy named John Singlaub who wound up involved in the Iran Contra scandal. It was an ultra conservative right-wing group.

"The Anti-Defamation League, in 1981 when McCain was on the board, said this about this organization. It was affiliated with the World Anti-Communist League, the parent organization which ADL said had increasingly become a gathering place, a forum, a point of contact for extremists, racist and anti-Semites."

This video is from NBC's Meet the Press, broadcast October 5, 2008.

Which ought to raise further questions about McCain's Presidential qualifications, over and above the "Keating Five" imbroglio--and which he needs to be asked about.

Or what otherwise stands in the way?

Will History Repeat Itself?!

2008-10-05T10:57:02Z

That is the question HonestReporting.com is asking in the wake of rumours that Israel is planning Bush/Rove-stylee "preemptive" air strikes against Iran's nuclear reactors (and, in consequence, its nuclear-weapons programme, or reasonable facsimile thereof).

Which also serves to recall the international media fallout following Israel's 1981 bombing attack on an Iraqi nuclear reactor based on intelligence suggesting that the then-Ba'athist regime of Saddam Hussein had designs on using same for nuclear-weapons production--and said coverage serving as a warning about what might happen if Israeli forces go ahead and bomb the Iranian nuclear programme.

Not to mention such serving as aide-memoire to keep the watch for biased, sensationalised or otherwise less-than-objective news and information "just in case."

Pastor John Hagee's Jewish Obsession

2009-01-08T12:51:29Z

From JewsOnFirst.org:

Pastor John Hagee: A Preoccupation with the Jews.

Pastor John Hagee heads Christians United for Israel (CUFI), a leading Christian Zionist organization, and as its leader enjoys the support of major Jewish organizations.

With narration by Ed Asner, our video shows a number of instances in which Hagee's understanding of Jews and Judaism should give cause for concern. Hagee declares that Hitler was "part Jewish." He says that Jews attribute special healing powers to the "spittle" of their first-born sons. He repeats anti-semitic canards about Jewish control of the financial system.

We hope this video will prompt rabbis and Jewish organizational leaders to reevaluate their relationships with Hagee and CUFI.

2008-10-17T15:31:04Z

I was pleased to Sen. Barack Obama appearing on the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday weekend at Dr. King's old church to make an inspiring speech that, among other things, addressed possible prejudices among Obama's own allies in the Black community. You can see the entire 34 minute speech from C-SPAN at: www.c-spanarchives.org If the video wont play for you at that link, the entire speech has also been uploaded to YouTube by the Obama campaign under the title "Barack Obama Speaks at Dr. King's Church" at: www.youtube.com

I am awaiting the outrage

2008-01-12T20:27:00Z

Glenn Greenwald has a rocking column here on the selective umbrage about anti-semitism and "Nazi" references by the self styled arbitrators of hate speech. In that vein, along with my vigil awaiting the denouncement by La Malkin over this sucker of the teat of welfare, I am now denying myself double cheeseburgers until the howls of indignation and offense send Ms Coulter scuttling back to where she came from.

Ann Coulter on CNBC Show: Jews Need 'Perfecting'
NEW YORK Appearing on Donny Deutsch's CNBC show, "The Big Idea," on Monday night, columnist/author Ann Coulter suggested that the U.S. would be a better place if there weren't any Jewish people and that they had "perfected" themselves into -- Christians.

It led Deutsch to suggest that surely he couldn't mean that, and when she insisted she did, he said this sounded "anti-Semitic."

Asked by Deutsch regarding whether she wanted to be like "the head of Iran" and "wipe Israel off the Earth," Coulter stated: "No, we just want Jews to be perfected, as they say. ... That's what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament."
