I don't know about you, but nowadays I hate turning on a t.v. or picking up a paper. Everywhere there are bad things & more bad things—really horrible things—and they get worse by the day. No wonder Christians are constantly moaning about the Second Coming of Jesus and praying to the Father in heaven to get off his lethargic tailpipe and get his blessed boy back down here PDQ! What they don't seem to understand is that getting JC down here to clean up this mess would be like throwing gasoline on a raging fire!
Let me ask you Christians to clear your minds—just for a moment—of all that love-thy-neighbor-as-thyself BS and truly focus on the glorious Second Coming, for which you all hope & pray. Think about the book of Revelation, where, according to whoever wrote the thing, JC himself is talkin' to ya. Now come on; in the whole of your holy book, there's nothing more horrific than Revelation. The promised suffering, destruction and almost complete annihilation of all living things is enough to trigger rigor mortis in a bucket of hot lard. I mean, on one hand we've got a bunch of godless homicidal maniacs doing their damndest to waste this planet, and on the other a bunch of Christians bellowing about the salvation of the Lord who promises to do the same thing. Take 2 Peter 3:10-13 for example: "But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness."
Sure 'nuf, God promises to build a new heaven & new earth, but that's only after he nukes 6,000,000,000 people, a trillion or so animals, evaporates oceans, rivers, lakes and other assorted septic tanks, mountains and in general everything that creepeth or crawleth upon the face of the earth. But hold onto your knickers. After God rebuilds the planet it only lasts 1,000 years. After that he turns loose Satan and uses that early release program as an excuse to nuke the planet a second time over. I don't know about you, but God's formula for problem solving ain't my idea of problem solving.
Of course, our godless, unbelievin' leaders proffer a solution that ain't much better than what's predicted in the senseless bloody book of Revelation. Anyone with a functioning noodle knows that what they're doing to the planet is going to result in pretty much the same end predicted in Revelation—without the new heaven & new earth thing.
Oh yeah; excusez-moi; I was addressing Christians. Let's read Isaiah 11:6-10: "The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the hole of the cobra, and the young child put his hand into the viper's nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his place of rest will be glorious."
Would someone among all you Jesus believers out there kindly tell me why your God demands all that suffering, blood & destruction when he finally decides to clean up the mess he created down here? Why, for instance, if he's going to bind Satan for a 1,000 years and create utopia on earth after the Second Coming, didn't he just bind the critter from the year dot? Come on: if Satan ain't gonna be around while the scenario in Isaiah 11 is playin' out—for a 1,000 years according to Revelation—then why did he need to be around for the past 6,000 years—from Adam to Jesus to Obama? If your God is truly a god of love & mercy, and he really is going to create a new heaven & new earth without a Satan roaming free, then why, I ask, has humanity had 6,000 years of gettin' it up the wazoo?
Well, screw all that. We're just talkin' make believe anyway. The reality is that last year we got rid of one lying, warmongering old sweetheart and put another in his place. The reality is that the planet is fast goin' down the old crapper. Yes, there is a solution, but I'll let that one slide till another time & place. In the mean time, watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass—not that it'll do you any good, but what the hell? It can't hurt!
Well, one more and one less, which is my way of saying "happy New Year" to one & all! Yeah, yeah, yeah ... I'm being a smart aleck. Obviously in 2010 we're all still dancing on a string to the tune of the nameless, faceless insidious bastards mcdoogling this world, which means we're about as likely to have a happy New Year as a tick-infested hound! (Oh, "mcdoogling" is a word my editor/censor put in place of the more-effective obscene verb I originally typed!)
STILL WANTED FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
Speaking of mcdoogling, a few days ago Lawrence Anthony gave me an article dated Oct. 26, 2009: Rabbinical Ruling Causes Havoc on Elevators, by Tia Goldenberg.
Tia's article concerns something that I bet most of you have never heard of: Sabbath elevators. Well, God bless her, I hadn't heard of 'em either, but the things work by automatically stopping & opening on every floor so that the occupants don't have to push buttons. Why this is important to Orthodox Jews is because, according to the Halakha (the legalistic part of the Talmud), manually operating an electrical convenience on the Sabbath violates God's law. This is why, for instance, Orthodox Jews won't turn on or turn off lights on the Sabbath, which means they either turn on lights before sunset on Friday evening and leave 'em on all day on the Sabbath or just sit around in the dark. Alternative C is using timers to automatically switch 'em on.
Them thar Orthodox Jews will even put a hot plate on a timer so that at 12 noon Sabbath a hotplate will turn on and they can heat up their matzo ball soup without pissing off God! Yep! According to Orthodox Judaism it's no sin to walk into the kitchen, open the fridge, take a pot of soup out and put it on a hotplate, but it's a bust in God's chops if one flips a hotplate switch to the on mode!
I ain't kiddin'! Years ago, one bright & sunny Sabbath morn, a friend of mine happened to be walking in LA's Fairfax district. As he was passing a synagogue a rabbi came rushing out and asked if he was Jewish. Satisfied that my friend was a bonafide "goy," the rabbi asked if he'd come inside and flip the circuit breaker to restore their lights. He did and all was right with the universe.
Now, the controversy over using Sabbath elevators was caused by some old goat named Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, who is 99 years old and one of Orthodox Judaism's most revered Talmudists. After years of studying the "problem," old Elyashiv ruled that it was a sin to use Sabbath elevators. Well, Elyashiv is so revered and people are so stupid that after his idiotic ruling tens of thousands of believing Jews are now trudging up 5, 10, 15, 20 or more flights of stairs when they return from the synagogue instead of taking the handy-dandy Sabbath elevator. I mean, "mcdoogle" all the labor it takes getting up those damned stairs to the 23rd floor; to this old matzo ball all that's important is not lifting one's index finger and pushing the #23 button on an elevator panel!
Ya know, Elyashiv is the same brand of nut who, a decade ago, finally ruled on the raging debate surrounding Jewish nose picking. You see, the Halakha says it's unlawful to cut hair on the Sabbath, and since a nose hair might get pulled out by picking one's nose, some rabbis declared nose picking unlawful. After decades of haggling, the prevailing wisdom was that pulling out a nose hair wasn't the same as cutting it, so Jews are free to pick their nose on the Sabbath. What a relief for Orthodox Jews, and what treat for the rest of us—seeing an Orthodox Jew pick his honker on the Sabbath.
Is it any wonder that the Middle East is so thoroughly mcdoogled-up when some useless 99-year-old religious schmuck has spent decades of his existence laboring over nose hairs and elevator buttons? Is it any wonder this planet is sinking with all hands aboard when there are idiots who will huff & puff up two dozen flights of stairs on the word of a bonafide ding-a-ling, who, at age 99, is probably wearing an adult diaper and dribbling strained oatmeal down his chin at breakfast?
If people are this pansydamned idiotic over religion, then why are we surprised when a religious whack-o blows up himself and a bus full of people in the name of god? (Yeah, "pansydamned" is another censored replacement for what I originally wrote here!)
Certainly it's not only in the Middle East that idiots freely roam the range. I mean, over in southern Nepal, back on November 25, 2009, a mass gathering of religious nutcases sacrificed over 200,000 buffaloes, goats, sheep, chickens & pigeons to the Hindu goddess Gadhimai. The AP article I read didn't say whether or not it did any good—but I'd guess that old Gadhimai didn't blink an eye at all that blood since Nepal is as mcdoogled-up as the rest of world. The same is true of the Arab world. Allah shows no sign of easing up on all the bloodletting. In fact, he shows every sign of being as vengeful as ever, which means that 2010 promises to be a laugh a minute—a laugh that might well dump our collective asses (I got that one by the censor!) right into the pit of extinction if, somehow, someway, those of us with a functional brain can't put on the brakes! But if we don't do something soon, one day it will be too late, or "das ende," as the Germans say!
Here we are nearing the end of another fun-filled year on Planet Earth. Looking back on the year several things stand out: the innauguration of the first "African American" president of the United States and all the controversies and possible conspiracies surrounding that; the continuing degradation of the economy here in the U.S. and around the world; the ever worsening situation of the Palestinians, the Iraqis, and the Afghans; the recent Fort Hood shooting incedent (a story that has more holes than Major Hassan could possibly make with his two pistols); the Israeli organ-traficking; and on and on. Instead of talking about any of those subjects I'd like to make an early Christmas present to all of you. My gift to you is a list of facts. This list is yours to do with as you see fit. You can simply toss it into the nearest dumpster or you can squirrel it away in the filing cabinet of your mind "for later" or you could actually examine the list (and check it twice...) and come to your own conclusions. The last option does take some guts, though, so if you're too weak to accept some unpleasant truths, you might want to stop right here. For the rest of you, here are the facts, in no particular order:
Religions in America as of 2008:
Christianity: 76%
No religion: 15%
Other Religions: 2.1%
Judaism: 1.2%
Islam: 0.6%
Ethnic Groups in the USA as of 2008:
White: 66.5%
Hispanic: 15%
Non-Hispanic Black: 12%
Asian: 5%
Jewish: 1.5%
The Top Seven Motion Picture Studios are:
1. Sony/Columbia. President of Columbia Pictures: Amy Pascal (Jewish). President of Sony Pictures: Michael Lynton (Dutch Jew).
2. 20th Century Fox. Rupert Murdoch, a Gentile, as far as anyone has been able to determine, although his mother, Elisabeth Greene, is rumored to have been Jewish. It doesn't much matter, though, because Murdoch is as rabidly zionist as any Jew could ever be. One Jewish website I researched dubbed Murdoch an "Honorary Jew." Well, nobody has ever accused Rupert of not knowing on which side his bread was buttered. Peter Chernin, a Jew, is Murdoch's number two man at Fox.
3. Walt Disney Motion Pictures. Co-owners are Rich Ross (Jewish and Gay) Robert Iger (just plain Jewish)
4. Warner Brothers. Chairman and CEO: Barry Meyer (Jewish), President and COO: Alan F. Horn (Jewish).
5. Parmount. CEO: Brad Alan Grey (Jewish).
6. Universal. Owned by Vivendi which is controlled by the Bronfman family of Seagrams fame. President and CEO is Ron Meyer (a Jew) and its Chairman is Stacey Snider (another Jew). The Bronfmans, of course, are Jewish.
7. MGM. Chairmen: Harry Sloan (Jewish), Mary Parent (Gentile), Bedi Singh (Gentile); Interim CEO: Stephen F. Cooper (unknown); Senior Vice President and COO: Charles Cohen (Jewish); Executive Vice President Finance: Gerald Ament (Jewish); Executive Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel: Scott Packman (Jewish)
Smaller filmmakers are Dreamworks, headed by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen—all three Jewish; Spyglass, an independent producer, under the control of Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum (both Jewish)
Top 20 Media Companies
1. Time Warner—controlled by: Jeffrey Bewkes (Jewish)
2. Walt Disney Company—controlled by: Robert Iger (Jewish)
3. Viacom Inc.—controlled by: Sumner Redstone, born Sumner Murry Rothstein (guess what, a Jew)
4. News Corporation—controlled by: Rupert Murdoch (might as well be Jewish)
5. CBS Corporation—controlled by: Leslie Moonves (Jewish)
6. Cox Enterprises—controlled by: James Cox Kennedy (Gentile)
7. NBC Universal—controlled by: Jeff Zucker (Jewish)

12. McGraw-Hill Companies—controlled by: Harold McGraw III (Gentile)
13. Hearst Corporation—controlled by: Frank Bennack (uncertain)
14. Washington Post Company—controlled by: Donald E. Graham (you wouldn't think from his name that he's Jewish but he is: his mother, Katherine Meyer Graham, is the daughter of Eugene Isaac Graham, who founded the Washington Post and was also the President of the World Bank!)
15. The New York Times Company—controlled by: Arthur Ochs Sulzberger (Jewish)
16. E.W. Scripps Co.—controlled by: Richard A. Boehne (unknown)
17. McClatchy Company—controlled by: Gary A. Pruitt (Gentile)
18. Thomson Reuters Corporation—controlled by: Tom Glocer (Jewish)
19. Freedom Communications, Inc.—controlled by: Jonathan Segal (Jewish)
20. A&E Television Networks—controlled by: Abbe Raven (this one was difficult but I finally found an obituary on Raven's mother, Anne Raven (nee Freedman) whose funeral was held at the Weinstein Memorial Chapel in Yonkers NY, which I think should tell the whole story!)
I don't claim these to be complete lists, but they should suffice to give you a clear picture of ... what? As a famous Jewish American, Bugs Bunny, once said: 'Eh, what's up, Doc?' Have you caught on by now that the 1.5% of Jews in America are rather over-represented at the helms of major media. So what if they are?—right? Nothing to worry about, right? Well, Some people are very worried that you might get the picture, such as talk show host Jason Bermas, who became so enraged (You can listen to the audio of this on Youtube) when a caller suggested that Hollywood and the Media was controlled by Jews that he immediately hung up on the guy and then came right out and said that people who thought that should hang themselves or take a toaster oven and throw it into the bathtub with themselves (in other words: kill themselves!). Other people, such as Joel Stein of the L.A. Times (How Jewish Is Hollywood—LA Times), are rather proud of Jewish dominance in media. Others, like Ben Stein, simply acknowledge it as true and say "so?"
I've got an idea: as an amusing exercise, why not try substituting 'Muslim' every time you see the word 'Jew' or 'Jewish' in the above lists? How would that make you feel? Would that make your skin crawl? After all, everyone knows that the Muslims are out to take over the world. I mean, my god, we hear it practically every day and throughout the political spectrum. It does not matter whether the pundit is ultra-conservative or liberal—they all get in on the Muslim-bashing. Even the so-called "Truth Movement" personalities are constantly beating the anti-Islam drum. Alex Jones has told us on his nationwide radio program that Hollywood is owned by the Muslims (oh, and also Israel, but they're financed by the Arabs!). There are several independent radio hosts that I enjoy listening to and even admire who shy away from "the Jewish question" and yet are quick to assert that Muslims are out to kill the infidels and Islamicize the world. So, being as conditioned as you probably are to think of Muslims as fanatics, what would you think if the above lists held predominantly Arab names? Or what if they were mostly Germans? What if they were all North Koreans? Maybe a bunch of Roman Catholics? Are you starting to think now? Are you starting to think about why you are so conditioned? Could it be that a certain ethnic group that controls the media in this country has worked mighty hard over the years to condition you?
I hope you have a nice holiday season, nosh a lot of sugarplums and roasted chestnuts, charge up your credit cards to the max, drink a lot of eggnog spiked with Seagrams liquor, sing a lot of schmaltzy Christmas songs penned by Jews and deck your halls to the nines. And whatever you do, remember that Jesus Christ was also Jewish. I'll leave it up to you to decide the significance of that.
Once upon a time the German philosopher Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1842) pulled back the blinds on the human psyche: "We are so constituted that we believe the most incredible things, and once they are engraved upon the memory, woe to him that endeavors to erase them." Insightful words, if only the average Joe had the brains to truly understand them and put the advice to practical use. They don't.
About eighty years ago Americans started hearing or reading a great deal about America's great "Judeo-Christian" heritage. To put it in purely academic terms, the concept was nothing more than crap—a PR campaign designed to sell American Protestant Christians on the notion that they and the Jews were one big happy family sharing the same god and same spiritual roots. It was a lie, but one that was well-packaged and hence it took root.
What was the reason for such an elaborate scheme? Just look across the world to a purloined nation-state called Israel and you'll have your answer.
Eighty years ago the average American Christian had little if any use for Jews. I know, because by the time I came along the attitude had not changed much. Jews were considered the murderers of Christ, which is true if one believes the scriptures (John 18:2-3: "Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons."), and their personal reputation was not much more than that of common street thugs—as it had been for centuries in this nation and abroad.
But then came the "Holocaust." European Christians, as well as American Christians—because they allegedly stood by and did nothing—had the blood of "six million" dead Jews on their hands. Forget the other 100 million or so other people who were murdered in the 20th century by despots like Lenin & Stalin, the Christian owed world Jewry big time for the "Holocaust"—for "six million" dead, a number that has been long discredited as ridiculously high.
And thus was born Israel.
By the time of the Sixties, Hollywood, which was completely owned and controlled by Jews, combined with the publishing industry, which was itself either owned or at least controlled by Jews, and the news media, which was either owned or controlled by Jews, started a non-stop campaign of rubbing the world's face in the Holocaust. Year after year, movies, books and articles highlighted the suffering of the Jewish people at the hands of Christian Europe. Yes, by then the Jews had their own country, which America helped them steal from the Palestinians, but that was only a drop in the bucket. The "Holocaust" was turned into a shrine before which the world would need to continually bow with supplication and offering.
And thus Judeo-Christian heritage was transformed into Christian Zionism—a fanatical religious movement designed to place an army of millions of Christians at the disposal of Israeli interests. This new religion needed high priests, and into the role stepped the likes of televangelists Herbert W. Armstrong, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and John Hagee, the most rabid of the bunch. Of course Brothers Herbert & Jerry have now gone home to the Lord, but Brothers Pat and John are still dancing the hora on weekly satellite television.
I found this about Brother John on Wikipedia: "John Charles Hagee (born April 12, 1940) is the American founder and senior pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas, a non-denominational charismatic church with more than 19,000 active members. John Hagee is the chief executive officer (CEO) at his non-profit corporation, Global Evangelism Television (GETV).... Hagee believes in traditional Pentecostal practices such as the 'baptism of the Holy Spirit,' miraculous healing, [and] anointing with oil ... He also believes in the 'absolute authority of the scripture,' baptism by immersion, and evangelism."
I'm glad that Brother John is so dedicated to his lord and bible because I've got a question for the good Israeli-ass-licking pastor: In John 8: 37-39; 44-47, Jesus is talking to a bunch of Pharisees: "I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you. I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father. They answered him, 'Abraham is our father.' Jesus said to them, 'If you were Abraham's children, you would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. But, because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? He who is of God hears the words of God; the reason why you do not hear them is you are not of God."
Now Brother John, from the mouth of your lord & savior Jesus Christ, in his infallible word, non-believing Jews are condemned as being from the Devil—and don't give me that crap about JC talkin' only to the Pharisees of his day. You and I both know that ancient Pharisaism and modern Judaism are one and the same thing.
Let's get this point out in the open.
In the Forward (xxi) of the "Morris Loeb Series, The Pharisees The Sociological Background of Their Faith," Volume 1, by the celebrated Rabbi Dr. Louis Finkelstein, the late Provost and Solomon Schechter Professor of Theology at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America (Philadelphia, The Jewish Publication Society of America, 1938), we find this: "Judaism. Pharisaism became Talmudism, Talmudism became Medieval Rabbinism, and Medieval Rabbinism became Modern Rabbinism. But throughout these changes of name, inevitable adaptation of custom, and adjustment of Law, the spirit of the ancient Pharisee survives unaltered. When the Jew reads his prayers, he is reciting formulae prepared by pre-Maccabean scholars; when he dons the cloak prescribed for the Day of Atonement and Passover Eve, he is wearing the festival garment of ancient Jerusalem; when he studies the Talmud, he is actually repeating the arguments used in the Palestinian academies."
So Brother John, you and your ilk are openly consorting with men that your lord & savior deemed as children of the Devil ... you and your ilk have led your congregations—millions of 'em—into the valley of the shadow of death, if you'll allow me to quote from your infallible book. I say this not because I believe the bible, but because you've mixed and twisted your religious beliefs around backstabbing corrupt political agendas.
Jesus taught his followers not to walk in the ways of the Pharisees, and yet you do just that ... how else could you have garnered awards at their hands, such as when the San Antonio B'nai B'rith Council awarded you with its "Humanitarian of the Year" award—a special moment because it was the first time the thing was given to a goy! You also were presented with the Zionist Organization of America's Israel Award by U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick. So great has been your contribution to Israeli interests that you were given the ZOA Service Award by Texas Governor Mark White, and Houston Mayor Kathryn J. Whitmire issued a special proclamation in your honor declaring a Pastor John C. Hagee Day. You've been to Israel twenty-two times and you've met with just about every high-ranking Israeli from Menachem Begin on down to the present-day criminals running the show over there. You are the Founder and Executive Director of "A Night to Honor Israel", an event that expresses solidarity between Christians and Jews on behalf of Jerusalem, the State of Israel, and the United States. And in 2006 you and four hundred leaders from the Christian and Jewish communities formed a new national organization called Christians United for Israel (CUFI), which was formed to address members of the United States Congress, professing a Biblical justification for the defense of Israel. (See the Wikipedia article on John Hagee)
Well John old boy, to me you sound like a foreign agent in the pay of the Israeli government. Not only do you ignore the words of your lord & savior you found organizations that are a danger to the security of this nation and the world. In my book you are at best an ignorant, biased, war-mongering amateur bible-thumping whack-o!
Dear Brother John, did not your lord & savior warn you thus in Matthew 15:14: "They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch"? Since ancient Pharisaism is alive and well in modern Judaism, where in the hell do you think you're leading your sheep? Well, if you believe the bible, as you profess, then right into a ditch—a ditch that might well end in a nuclear nightmare.
Now my dear Brother John, because you've been lickin' the boots of your Israeli masters for so long, it falls to me to give you a refresher course in the Gospels and the words of your professed lord & master:
Matt 23:31-33: "Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers' guilt. Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?" Matt 15:1-3: "Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Jesus, saying, 'Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread.' He answered and said to them, 'Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?" Matt 23:13: "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in." Matt 23:25-26: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also." Matt 23:27-29: "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness."
Men like Hagee and Robertson are a very real threat to world peace. They are at least unknowingly serving an agenda that seeks to establish a new world order—one that will relegate the suffering, destruction and death of World War II to a footnote of history. Their dangerous activities can be seen in a January 2009 broadcast of Robertson's infamous 700 Club television show. In this broadcast Robertson declared his opposition to the division of Jerusalem between the Palestinians and Israel. His reason? It's because "Jesus Christ the Messiah will come down to the part of Jerusalem that the Arabs want!"
For eight years America and the world suffered at the hands of an American president who thought God was talking to him—conveniently leading him into wars that were a clear part of the Israeli-New World Order agenda. Yes, he's gone; but he's been replaced by a leader whose administration is beating another war drum against Iran, also a priority on the Israeli-New World Order agenda. With a little bit of research and the use of one's gray matter, it's not hard to see the real story of so-called Judeo-Christian heritage. And in a world festering with nuclear bombs, it's not hard to see the end of the world if something can't be done about the madness!
In 2002 Professor David D. Perlmutter, who is an associate professor of Mass Communication at Louisiana State University and a senior fellow at the Reilly Center for Media & Public Affairs, wrote an article that was published in the April 7, 2002 edition of the Los Angeles Times. It was titled "Dark Thoughts and Quiet Desperation" and is a chilling and dishonest defense of his beloved state of Israel. Perlmutter writes:
For the first time in my life, I see the shadows of Israel's destruction, if not by Arab armies all at once, then by suicide bombers, one Jewish child and mother at a time. I see an anti-Jewish European press sadistically attacking Israel's defensive measures. I see a clownishly hypocritical United Nations condemning Israel's bulldozing of a building while millions die in the Sudan or Tibet. I see my fellow academics musing and posturing in praise of demons who would cut their throats merely for being non-Muslims.You read right. Perlmutter is boasting about Israel's nuclear arsenal, which was supplied by American taxpayers. He threatens the use of that arsenal against America and the rest of the world should Israel fall at the hands of the Arab world. This is "Judeo-Christian heritage" in the true light of day!
I simmer, too, about how I see Jews fighting consistently for the good of all–from the civil rights movement to the salvation of Bosnian Muslims–but when the hangman comes for us, we find ourselves standing alone.
Israel has been building nuclear weapons for 30 years. The Jews understand what passive and powerless acceptance of doom has meant for them in the past, and they have ensured against it. Masada was not an example to follow–it hurt the Romans not a whit, but Sampson in Gaza? With an H-bomb? What would serve the Jew-hating world better in repayment for thousands of years of massacres but a Nuclear Winter. Or invite all those tut-tutting European statesmen and peace activists to join us in the ovens?
For the first time in history, a people facing extermination while the world either cackles or looks away–unlike the Armenians, Tibetans, World War II European Jews or Rwandans–have the power to destroy the world. The ultimate justice? (Posted on the Net at http://8.12.42.31/2002/apr/07/opinion/op-perlmutterapr07)
Argue till your toes curl up to the heavens and it won't change the facts. We are living in the end times. No, I'm not talkin' the much awaited second coming here—the world will still be waitin' on that hopeless event forever. I'm talkin' the end of this embarrassment called America. You heard me right: America the Embarrassment; America, the nation that's sicker than a three-legged dog suckin' fertilizer!
Now I'm not addressing those flag-wavin' yaahoos who, after 911, went about yelling "yee-hi" after Georgie Bush lied us into an Iraqi war. They're about as bright as a 15-watt bulb shining in an outdoor toilet and, in my book, are a lost cause. No, I'm writin' to those of you bright enough to see the approaching tidal wave and are gearing up for the inevitable consequences. You and I both know it's coming, but what many of you don't know is why. I'd like to remedy that.
First of all, it's my considered medical opinion that the average American is suffering from a very serious disease called "Head-Up-the-Ass Syndrome," or what we medical professionals call "HUTASS." I say it's "serious" because, if left untreated, it's fatal—I'm talkin' deader than a 3,000-year-old petrified camel turd here! Now stay calm! There's no need to phone your doctor and interrupt his golf game with his Big Pharma buddies! If you know how, HUTASS can be homeopathically-treated and cured. That's the good news. The bad news is that the cure is rather painful.
The origin of HUTASS goes back to remote antiquity, but to hell with that since humans are notorious for not learning even the most obvious lessons from history. To save time let's just meander back to the eighteenth century when our forefathers were building a nation around a book that opens with a bold-faced lie and ends by promising the horrific end to damned near everything on the planet.
Yep, you know I'm talkin' the holy bible here, which begins by declaring that "God created the heavens and the earth" when the bible itself proves that no such creature ever existed—the holy bible, that book which demands one worship the most devious, murderous criminal ever dreamed up in a sick, whack-o imagination, and threatens eternal torture for those who fail to grovel and shovel oodles of $$$ into the hip pocket of the right church denomination. That was the fountainhead of HUTASS in America, and from thence the ailment flowed like free beer in a tavern.
For nigh on fifteen years I've been proving to anyone with an ounce of functioning gray matter that Christianity is a cancerous lie eating out the guts of this country. Nay, Christianity has killed this country!
Thanks to Christianity America is in an ICU on life support! And when the last breath is expelled and historians conduct a post mortem, "Christianity" will be listed under "cause of death"—Christianity, that insidious foul-smelling waste product of over-active human superstition; Christianity, the undiluted bilge that turns otherwise intelligent folks into blithering idiots; Christianity, a belief system of talkin' snakes & jack asses and a flat earth for which people will kill and be killed!
You betcha! I'm callin' hundreds of millions of Christians "idiots." But why should I not? Over the years how many times have I challenged Christians to show me the error of my ways—to prove to me that their bible is the word of God—with the guarantee that I'd repent and preach Jesus if they succeeded? Sure, a few have tried, God bless 'em, but they went the way of all ignorant people defending hopeless causes, which is my point.
Ignorant, fanatical people defending bullshit does for a chaotic world make. Nay, it does for a deadly world make. And there you have the cause of HUTASS. But now for the cure, which I'm gonna give you by way of Mr. Arthur Desmond, that nineteenth century kick 'em in the face sociologist:
All ethics, politics and philosophies are pure assumptions, built upon assumptions. They rest on no sure basis. They are but shadowy castles-in-the-air erected by day-dreamers, or by rogues, upon nursery fables.... Too long the dead hand has been permitted to sterilize living thought—too long, right and wrong, good and evil, have been inverted by false prophets. In the days that are at hand, neither creed nor code must be accepted upon authority, human, superhuman or "divine." ... Religions and constitutions and all arbitrary principles, every mortal theorem, must be deliberately put to the question. No moral dogma must be taken for granted—no standard of measurement deified. There is nothing inherently sacred about moral codes. Like the wooden idols of long ago, they are all the work of human hands, and what man has made, man can destroy.... Wherever, therefore, a lie has built unto itself a throne, let it be assailed without pity and without regret, for under the domination of a falsehood no nation can permanently prosper. Let established sophisms be dethroned, rooted out, burnt and destroyed, for they are a standing menace to all true nobility of thought and action. Whatever alleged "truth" is proven by results to be but an empty fiction, let it be unceremoniously flung into the outer darkness, among the dead gods, dead empires, dead philosophies, and other useless lumber and wreckage.Christianity is the cause of this nation's terminal illness; it is the root of HUTASS, and, as Mr. Desmond wrote, there can be no half-and-half measures to cure this blight. It must be exposed for the destructive lie it is and then rooted out and destroyed without mercy!
The most dangerous of all enthroned lies is the holy, the sanctified, the privileged lie—the lie that "everybody" believes to be a model truth. It is the fruitful mother of all other popular errors and delusions. It is hydra-headed. It has a thousand roots. It is a social cancer. The lie that is known to be a lie is half eradicated, but the lie that even intelligent persons regard as a sacred fact—the lie that has been inculcated around a mother's knee—is more dangerous to contend against than a creeping pestilence. Popular lies have ever been the most potent enemies of personal liberty. There is only one way to deal with them. Cut them out, to the very core, just as cancers are. Exterminate them root and branch, or they will surely eat us all up. We must annihilate them, or they will us. Half and half remedies are of no avail.
I want to end by bringing to mind the ancient Roman statesman Cicero, who one day looked around him and sighed these words: "o tempora, o mores"—oh our dreadful times and our dreadful customs. Cicero's complaint echoed down through the ages to an Englishman named Sir John Harington who observed that "Treason doth never prosper; what is the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it Treason!"
Living in the filth and squalor of our dreadful times and customs, the time is fast coming when none will dare rise up and point an accusatory finger at the criminals running the show. When that time comes we shall all be living in an open grave.
Mark Twain once wrote that history is "sown thick with evidence that a truth is not hard to kill and that a lie told well is immortal." Could he have been thinking of Jesus Christ?
In Israel, it seems that it is no harder on the conscience to kill non-Jews for their organs than it is to butcher a hog for the same reason. In fact it's probably easier, since pigs aren't kosher. Some may think this is an outrageous accusation worthy of a ultra right-wing fascist, but it is a well documented fact. It is also nothing new. Mainstream media is just now getting to the really ugly truth of murder and thievery—the theft of a human being's body for profit.
Some weeks back the world got a rare treat—a headline that put international Jewry in a bad light! It was a treat because Jews are the one group on this planet whose corrupt, illegal and often murderous activities are above media scrutiny, thanks to their iron-fisted control of the "news" & entertainment industry. But, what happened in New Jersey made it all but impossible for our controlled media to play dumb.
Along with the mayor of Hoboken and other bigwig New Jersey politicians, five rabbis were arrested and charged with trafficking in human organs. Even worse, the rabbis and their blood & gore trade were linked directly to the state of Israel.
Like spoiled kids who always get their way, as usual the yammerings of "anti-Semitism" started flying from every quarter of the globe. Also, as usual, these spoiled kids were given unlimited media coverage as they scrambled to do damage control. It worked. Within a few days the story had died down. Unfortunately, the thing about spoiled kids is that they have no self control. They never know when to keep their damned yaps shut!
Last week Sweden's largest newspaper, the prestigious Aftonbladet, carried the op-ed piece, "Our sons are being stripped of their organs" by freelance journalist Donald Boström, who has considerable experience in the Middle East. Boström reported allegations that Israeli soldiers routinely harvest organs from Palestinians they murder in Israel's war on the helpless Palestinian people. Instead of ignoring the piece and going on with their routine torture and murder in Palestine, the Israelis reacted with predictable precision.
Boström's piece drew immediate and LOUD screams from Israel, with Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor moaning: "The article was a shocking piece of blatant racism ... This kind of medieval blood libel cannot be tolerated in any society and the Swedish public and government have to condemn and reject this appalling [incitation] before it actually encourages someone to commit hate crimes."
In response Aftonbladet editor Jan Helin said: "It's deeply unpleasant and sad to see such a strong propaganda machine using centuries-old anti-Semitic images in an apparent attempt to get an obviously topical issue off the table."
But the real question here is did Mr. Boström's piece contain any truth? In light of July's big bust in New Jersey, one would think that it at least deserves a fair impartial hearing. Well, it would in a fair, impartial country, which Israel is not! Israel's routine response is to ignore allegations and scream "anti-Semitism." And why not? With their special status in the West and their tremendous amount of wealth, it always works miracles.
And so, the world will likely never hear the evidence, such as the story of Bilal Ahmed Ghanem, a 19-year-old Palestinian who was an activist wanted by the IDF for allegedly throwing rocks at Israeli troops. He was shot by an IDF sniper on May 13, 1992 as he came out of his house. Donald Boström, who was present when the shooting took place, said that Ghanem's body was taken away by the Israeli army and when it was returned days later, there were signs that his organs had been removed. Indeed, some twenty Palestinian families have told Boström that they suspect the Israeli military has harvested the organs of their murdered sons.
For their part, the Israeli military says it's routine for them to perform autopsies on Palestinians killed by their soldiers. But stop and ask yourself if this makes any sense. Why would the Israeli Defense Force expend time and money finding out what they already know, namely that the victim was killed by IDF bullets? The answer that comes to mind is that it is a not-so-clever ruse to cover up the obvious truth: the IDF is actively participating in an illegal organ harvesting ring.
Of course the Israelis, whose nation was founded upon theft, torture and murder, and who are accustomed to bullying the world to get their way, upped the ante when they withheld the press credentials of the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet in retaliation for publishing the critical op-ed piece. They took the opportunity to once again throw out the tired accusation of "anti-Semitism."
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman took the initiative when he compared the Swedish government's hands-off position to the country's neutrality during World War II: "It's a shame that the Swedish Foreign Ministry fails to intervene in a case of blood libel against Jews. This is reminiscent of Sweden's stand during World War II, when [it] had failed to intervene as well." Israel's Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz yapped: "This is an anti-Semitic blood libel against the Jewish people and the Jewish state. The Swedish government cannot remain apathetic ... We know the origins of these claims. In medieval times, there were claims that the Jews used the blood of Christians to bake their Matzas for Passover. The modern version now is that the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) soldiers use organs of Palestinians to make money."
The Jews call such a response "chutzpah," which means audacity in the face of adversity, or more like audacity when faced with the truth. Let's take for instance Israel's blind eye to the sex slave trade that flourishes under their very noses.
We've reported on this before, but we'll rub your faces in it again. While we sleep soundly in our beds, and go through our days pursuing our various interests, thousands of young girls are being bought and sold like cattle for the sex trade industry. The state of Israel is right up there at the top of the list of offending nations. Even though the Israeli government knows of this, the "trade" continues to flourish, largely because many of those frequenting the brothels are high-ranking Israelis. On March 8, 2006 Ynet News publish some of the details in the article "Women Trafficking," which can be accessed at www.ynetnews.com The article notes: "Sad reality: More than 50,000 Israeli men will visit a brothel today. Sounds outrageous? According to statistics provided by Amnesty International, there are between 5,000 – 10,000 victims of the sex trade in Israel. These women are forced to service at least 10 customers a day." These girls are not willing prostitutes, but are poor girls who are essentially kidnapped from Eastern Europe and used as sex slaves.
So, what does this have to do with organ harvesting? Plenty! A nation that would condone such disgusting behavior right under its nose, would have no compunction about allowing organ harvesting. Indeed, a nation that would routinely shoot unarmed stone-throwing children, is capable of almost anything.
Lest one thinks that the alleged organ harvesting operation only involves Palestinian victims, there is the case of Alastair Sinclair, a Scottish tourist who allegedly hanged himself in an Israeli jail in 2002. When his body was returned to Scotland, the heart was missing, prompting his family to sue Israel for its return: "University of Glasgow pathologists who did an autopsy at the request of Sinclair's family, found that it had been returned without a heart (which they suspect was used for a transplant) and without the crucial bone needed to confirm the claim that he died from hanging.... it appears plausible that Alastair Sinclair did not hang himself but was murdered, and because it also appears plausible that the motive for the murder was the harvesting of Alastair Sinclair's heart ... "
Let's add to this an article from the Teheran Times of January 9, 2002: "Israel Kills Palestinian Boys, Steals Organs For Transplants"
AL-KHALIL (IRNA)—The Zionist state has tacitly admitted that doctors at the Israeli forensic institute at Abu Kabir had extracted the vital organs of three Palestinian teenage children killed by the Israeli Army nearly ten days ago. Zionist Minister of Health Nessim Dahhan said in response to a question by Arab member of the Zionist Parliament 'Knesset', Ahmed Teibi, on Tuesday that he couldn't deny that organs of Palestinian youths and children killed by the Israeli forces were taken out for transplants or scientific research. 'I couldn't say for sure that something like that (taking out the organs) didn't happen.' Teibi said he had received credible evidence proving that Israeli doctors at the forensic institute extracted such vital organs as the heart, kidneys, and liver from the bodies of Palestinian youths and children killed by the Israeli Army in Gaza and the West Bank. The Israeli authorities normally detain the bodies of martyred Palestinians for a few days without any explanation. The Israeli Army on December 30 killed three Palestinian boys, aged 14-15 near Khan Younis in unclear circumstances. The army issued conflicting reports on the killing, while Palestinian sources charged that Israeli troops murdered the three unarmed boys in cold blood. The bodies of the three boys were handed over to the Palestinians for burial on 6 January. However, shortly before burial, Palestinian medical authorities examined the bodies and found out that the main vital organs were missing from the bodies. The Israeli media have nearly completely ignored the affair." engforum.pravda.ru
You may wonder why a nation like Israel would turn a blind eye to organ trafficking. The question may be partially answered by understanding Orthodox Jewish religious laws regarding corpses and body parts:
In 1994 Rabbi [Yehoshua] Sheinberger [...] met with senior physicians from the Israel Transplants Association and discussed with them the Jewish religious prohibition on organ donations. In Israel Haredi Jews refuse organ transplants from their own or their relatives' corpses. On this issue the Haredi position influences many people for superstitious as well as religious reasons. Organ transplants in Israel are thus difficult to arrange. Surgeons frequently request Haredi rabbis to appeal to their followers to agree to organ transplants from corpses of their relatives in order to save lives. The surgeons' argument is based upon the Jewish religious law giving priority to saving Jewish lives. In this discussion Rabbi Sheinberger put the condition that only a Haredi rabbi could authorize such transplants. He explained: "Jewish religious law states that it is forbidden to transplant Jewish organs into either non-Jews or Jews who are not pious. It is obvious that it is prohibited under any circumstances to transplant Jewish organs into Arabs, all of whom hate Jews." Rabbi Sheinberger, when asked for his definition of a Jew who is not pious, replied that a rabbi must determine the status of every Jew. Sheinberger's request caused a huge commotion and was rejected.
Many non-Haredi rabbis allow an organ of a non-Jew to be transplanted into a body of a Jew in order to save the life of the Jew. They, however, oppose the transplant of an organ from a Jew into the body of a non-Jew. Some important rabbis go much further in discussing and ruling about differences between Jews and non-Jews on medical matters. Rabbi Yitzhak Ginsburgh, an influential member of the Habad movement and the head of a yeshiva near Nablus [...] opined in an April 26, 1996 Jewish Week article, reproduced in Haaretz that same day: "If every single cell in a Jewish body entails divinity, and is thus part of God, then every strand of DNA is a part of God. Therefore, something is special about Jewish DNA." Rabbi Ginsburgh drew two conclusions from this statement: "If a Jew needs a liver, can he take the liver of an innocent non-Jew to save him? The Torah would probably permit that. Jewish life has an infinite value. There is something more holy and unique about Jewish life than about non-Jewish life." It is noteworthy that Rabbi Ginsburgh is one of the authors of a book lauding Baruch Goldstein, the Patriarch's Cave murderer. In that book Ginsburgh contributed a chapter in which he wrote that a Jew's killing of non-Jews does not constitute murder according to the Jewish religion and that killing of innocent Arabs for reasons of revenge is a Jewish virtue. No influential Israeli rabbi has publicly opposed Ginsburgh's statements; most Israeli politicians have remained silent; some Israeli politicians have openly supported him. (Israel Shahak and Norton Mezvinsky, Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel, Pluto Press, London and Sterling Virginia, 1999, pp. 42-43.)
Are Sheinberger and Ginsburgh's opinions rare, or do they reflect the opinion of the Jewish majority? Notice very carefully that Ginsburgh said "If a Jew needs a liver, can he take the liver of an innocent non-Jew to save him? The Torah would probably permit that." He did not say "The Talmud would probably permit that." What in the Torah (the first five books of the Old Testament) would give Rabbis like Ginsburgh and Sheinberger the idea that killing non-Jews to save the life of a Jew would be acceptable? Over the years we have published numerous revealing articles about the Old Testament, and in particular we've outlined the blood-lust of Israel's god when dealing with non-Israelites. In the coming months we shall focus on this topic by publishing excerpts from the Talmud, Judaism's holiest book. But for now I will close by saying that as long as there are "holy books" like the Torah and the Talmud floating around the world, and as long as there are fanatics who believe in them with all their hearts and souls, the world will know no justice. It will, in fact, get worse. This is especially so when people and nations run in fear at the brilliant obfuscation of the Holocaust, Medieval blood libel, Swedish neutrality during World War II, or Nineteenth Century Russian pogroms. It's brilliant because it is designed to keep the world from focusing on what Israel is doing right now, and it works!
The injustice of it all almost makes me want to cry out "how long O' Lord!"
About 230 some-odd years ago, the folks living in this land got royally pissed off. They had had enough of King George III and told him where he could shove his crown. One war later the manacles came off and the USA was born. That's the good news. The bad news is that the masses trusted a bunch of wealthy landlords and businessmen to forge them a new set of manacles.
The Declaration may smugly proclaim that "All men are created equal," but that's only true if you know the right people, belong to the right clubs and kiss the right ass.
Amendment 1: Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
I could take you on a tour of American history here to show you how often this Amendment has been trampled underfoot by the powers-that-be. But I'll skip that lengthy exercise and simply remind you how once upon a time Congress turned a blind eye to those American states that routinely jailed farmers for ploughing their fields on the "Sabbath." Also let me remind you how that old Communist sweetheart, Franklin D. Roosevelt, jailed his critics when he lied this nation into World War II—how Frankie and his boys jailed German-Americans and Japanese-Americans as potential threats once he got his war. I'm also gonna remind you that FDR and Harry Truman's administration didn't blink an eye at the routine practice of our military torturing prisoners of war—including Dwight D. Eisenhower's torture and murder of millions of German POWs after the end of WW II.
In other words, the Constitution of the United States is only as good as the despot(s) pulling the strings, which brings me to our recent ex-president.
When George W. Bush kicked the tootles out of the Constitution by lying to Congress and the American people, when he waged illegal wars, murdered populations and tortured prisoners of war, he was merely following a long-established precedent. The only difference is that for once in American history the powers-that-be took a chance and did their foul, kick-the-shit-out-of-the-Constitution deeds in public—aided and abetted by a compliant, willing press corps. It worked. The dumbed-down American public waved plastic made-in-China flags and boycotted French fries. That brings us to Barack Obama.
Americans are starting to wake up to the fact that their new president isn't the best thing since Jesus Christ walked on water. Even his staunch supporters are starting to whine that he's not doing what he promised he'd do during his election campaign. Hearing people moan like that would be mildly amusing, if the consequences of their gross stupidity weren't so potentially lethal.
I personally believe that George W. Bush was put in office—not elected, mind you, but put in office—to set the stage for a coming new world order. That includes his complicity in the events of 911. I believe that the Obama administration was put into office to complete the job. That's my opinion, and I back it by years of careful research, which includes finding my news from sources other than mainstream American "news" sources. You see, I'm not even mildly interested in an accused child-molester-entertainer OD-ing on prescription drugs, nor about the Taco Bell chihuahua dying of old age. I am interested in the impending collapse of this nation and the world, and that's not the kind of "news" one is likely to watch or read or hear from our controlled media.
Amendment 2: Right to Bear Arms. Ratified 12/15/1791. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Back in 1934 something called the National Firearms Act was enacted for the good of "we the people." It was, said the sponsors, a way to curtail the illegal activities of the nation's notorious gangsters—thugs like Bonnie & Clyde and Pretty Boy Floyd. It didn't. But what it did do was blindside "we the people" so that more and more legislative restrictions on gun ownership could be enacted. The result is that "we the people" now have to jump through more hoops than a Barnum & Bailey Circus clown to buy a gun while the criminal elements do what they've always done and just buy one illegally off the street —or steal it. But there's more to it than that.
Let me tell you that when "we the unarmed people" are left to the tender mercies of a corrupt government that has given itself the power to prosecute "thought criminals," which is just days away, then the gulags will start to fill. And in a government that already "legally" sanctions the use of torture, how long before we return to the horrors of the Holy Inquisition? How long before a "suspected potential terrorist" is arrested and waterboarded for publicly criticizing Barack Hussein Obama? (No, Obama didn't get rid of Bush's torture policy. See Counterpunch: "Obama's First 100 Days Mixed Messages on Torture" by Andy Worthington posted at www.counterpunch.org)
A few days ago the Senate passed new "hate crime" legislation (H.R. 1913, named the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Act of 2009), which supposedly provides protection from "hate crimes" against race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or those with disabilities. President Obama has promised to sign it. Right now the media focus and major debate is on the protection the new law will afford gay and lesbians.
So, why do the American people need this law? They don't. If you assault a gay person, or bust a wheel-chair-bound person in the mouth, you will be arrested and charged with any number of crimes, and rightly so. But those of us who go outside of what passes as "news" know this new law is not about gays or disabled persons. This law is about the new world order and its nucleus—Zionism.
I've mentioned him before, but let me reintroduce Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, which I'll do by quoting this little bio from Wikipedia: "Paul Craig Roberts (born April 3, 1939, in Atlanta, Georgia) is an economist and a nationally syndicated columnist for Creators Syndicate. He served as an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan Administration earning fame as the 'Father of Reaganomics.' He is a former editor and columnist for the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and Scripps Howard News Service. He is a graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology and he holds a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia. He was a post-graduate at the University of California, Berkeley, and Oxford University where he was a member of Merton College. He has held numerous academic appointments, including the William E. Simon Chair, Center for Strategic and International Studies, Georgetown University, and Senior Research Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He was awarded the Legion of Honor by French President Francois Mitterrand. He is the author of Supply-Side Revolution: An Insider's Account of Policymaking in Washington; Alienation and the Soviet Economy and Meltdown: Inside the Soviet Economy, and is the co-author with Lawrence M. Stratton of The Tyranny of Good Intentions: How Prosecutors and Bureaucrats Are Trampling the Constitution in the Name of Justice. In 1992 he received the Warren Brookes Award for Excellence in Journalism. In 1993 the Forbes Media Guide ranked him as one of the top seven journalists in the United States. His writings frequently appear on OpEdNews.com, Antiwar.com, VDARE.com. Lew Rockwell's web site, CounterPunch, and the American Free Press."
Citing Dr. Roberts' impressive credentials is my way of telling you that he's not one of those much-maligned "conspiracy theorists," as the controlled media likes to label academics who don't tow the new world order line. Dr. Roberts is part of that endangered species who calls 'em like he see 'em.
In a recent nationally syndicated column entitled "The End of Free Speech? Criminalizing Criticism of Israel" Dr. Roberts wrote:
"On October 16, 2004, President George W. Bush signed the Israel Lobby's bill, the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act. This legislation requires the US Department of State to monitor anti-Semitism world wide. To monitor anti-Semitism, it has to be defined. What is the definition? Basically, as defined by the Israel Lobby and Abe Foxman, it boils down to any criticism of Israel or Jews.
Rahm Israel Emanuel hasn't been mopping floors at the White House. As soon as he gets the Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009 passed, it will become a crime for any American to tell the truth about Israel's treatment of Palestinians and theft of their lands.
It will be a crime for Christians to acknowledge the New Testament's account of Jews demanding the crucifixion of Jesus.
It will be a crime to report the extraordinary influence of the Israel Lobby on the White House and Congress, such as the AIPAC-written resolutions praising Israel for its war crimes against the Palestinians in Gaza that were endorsed by 100 per cent of the US Senate and 99 per cent of the House of Representatives, while the rest of the world condemned Israel for its barbarity.
It will be a crime to doubt the Holocaust.
It will become a crime to note the disproportionate representation of Jews in the media, finance, and foreign policy.
In other words, it means the end of free speech, free inquiry, and the First Amendment to the Constitution. Any facts or truths that cast aspersion upon Israel will simply be banned.... It is permissible to criticize every other country in the world, but it is anti-Semitic to criticize Israel, and anti-Semitism will soon be a universal hate-crime in the Western world.
Label it a "conspiracy theory" or whatever, but there is a deep, dark agenda in this nation—in this world—and its goal is nothing less than the complete enslavement of the American people. To effect this agenda those pulling the strings must disarm the population and they must have a "legal" way to shut the mouths of their critics. Especially they must shutdown the free flow of information on the Internet.
For decades an insidious enemy has had virtual control over what America reads, hears and thinks, which they accomplished by exercising complete control over the "news" and entertainment media. Dr. Paul Craig Roberts writes: "Anyone who depends on print, TV, or right-wing talk radio media is totally misinformed. The Bush administration has achieved a de facto Ministry of Propaganda." "The uniformity of the US media has become much more complete since the days of the cold war. During the 1990s, the US government permitted an unconscionable concentration of print and broadcast media that terminated the independence of the media. Today the US media is owned by 5 giant companies in which pro-Zionist Jews have disproportionate influence. More importantly, the values of the conglomerates reside in the broadcast licenses, which are granted by the government, and the corporations are run by corporate executives—not by journalists—whose eyes are on advertising revenues and the avoidance of controversy that might produce boycotts or upset advertisers and subscribers. Americans who rely on the totally corrupt corporate media have no idea what is happening anywhere on earth, much less at home."
Despite this kind of control, the powers-that-be failed to recognize the potential of the Internet to inform. The biggest threat to their misinformation empire has come from American websites and independent news sources because the world-wide web is accessible to everyone with a computer. That's the real reason behind "hate crime" legislation. Yes, gays & lesbians & persons with disabilities are at the forefront, but they are nothing more than a smoke screen. Lurking behind is an insidious enemy of "we the people," which is made clear by the JTA (Jewish Telegraphic Agency), "The Global news Service of the Jewish People", in its July 17, 2009 article "Senate passes hate-crimes bill." Reporting on this story, the JTA boasts: "A number of Jewish groups, headed by the Anti-Defamation League, have been working for a decade to enact the measure." (See www.adl.org for more enlightening information.)
We at www.darrellwconder.com have no doubt that the day is coming when this site will be shut down courtesy of the new government thought police. If you doubt me, then get on the Net and see what has happened to those nations that have dropped their pants, bent over and allowed Zionist-sponsored "hate crime" legislation to be enacted.
When President Barack Hussein Obama signs the new "hate crime" bill into law, he will be hammering one more—if not the last—nail into the Constitution's coffin.
I don't mind whacky characters, which is good because I've seen lots & lots of 'em over the years. One of my favorites was a young man I encountered on the streets of Billings, Montana years ago. This nutcase used to wear lipstick, powder, rouge and a skimpy tight-fitting pink ballerina costume while roller skating through downtown Billings. Here and there he'd stop and do fancy ballet moves, and then, like Peter Pan, zip on down the street—often to the laughter and applause of passersby. But the Billings ballerina couldn't hold a candle to some of the divine nutcases I've found in the bible, such as the whacko who ate honey-coated bugs, and ran around in the scorching desert heat wearing a girdle and a shirt made of camel's hair!
I want to give the guy some long-overdue recognition—J the B that is, not the Billings ballerina. You see, J the B is one of the few bible dudes who called Jesus Christ a liar and lived to tell the tale. Well, he didn't live too long since he got his head whacked off, but still J the B boldly went where no man had gone before, if I may be allowed to paraphrase Captain Kirk.
We're introduced to J the B in Matthew 3:1-6: "And in those days cometh John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of through Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make ye ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Now John himself had his raiment of camel's hair, and a leather girdle about his loins; and his food was locusts and wild honey. Then went out unto him Jerusalem, and all Judea, and all the region round about the Jordan; and they were baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins."
Jesus Christ, who was J the B's cousin, gave one of his first tent revival meetings a boost when, in Matthew 17:11-13, he made the claim that his cousin was none other than the prophet Elijah: "That's right. Elijah is supposed to come and make all things new again. But I tell you, Elijah has already come.... Then the disciples understood that Jesus was talking to them about John the Baptist." (New International Reader's Version. Also see Matthew 11:13-14 and Mark 9:13.) Now, JC doesn't bother to explain whether he was talkin' resurrection or reincarnation here, but then it really doesn't matter since it all comes down to the same thing: John the B was really the prophet Elijah! Oh yes he was: Jesus said so!
The reason Jesus was able to sell this claim to his followers was because in the Old Testament there are some prophecies that say one day Elijah would come on the scene, although by the time JC got through with them he'd twisted the meaning into something other than what the prophecies said. Let's look at 'em:
In Malachi 3:1-5 it's the LORD himself talking, by which I mean Yahweh, or, in English, Jehovah: "See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come, says the LORD Almighty. But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap. He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the Levites and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who will bring offerings in righteousness, and the offerings of Judah and Jerusalem will be acceptable to the LORD, as in days gone by, as in former years. So I will come near to you for judgment. I will be quick to testify against sorcerers, adulterers and perjurers, against those who defraud laborers of their wages, who oppress the widows and the fatherless, and deprive aliens of justice, but do not fear me, says the LORD Almighty."
Malachi 4:1-3, 5-6: Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and that day that is coming will set them on fire," says the LORD Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them. But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings. And you will go out and leap like calves released from the stall. Then you will trample down the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things," says the LORD Almighty.... See, I will send you the prophet Elijah before that great and dreadful day of the LORD comes. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers; or else I will come and strike the land with a curse. (NIV)
So, a resurrected Elijah, or a reincarnated Elijah, will come on the scene just before the dreadful day of the LORD, when damned near everyone on earth would be tortured and murdered and then burned to ashes because they didn't belong to the right church. Now the question I've asked countless Christians, without ever getting a reply except their warning to others that I was an anti-Christ, is that if Jesus was the Messiah of Malachi and all the other messianic prophecies, then why, after Elijah/John the Baptist came, didn't he immediately smite most of the planet and turn it to ashes? Why didn't he then establish the kingdom of God and bring peace to the earth, or what was left of the earth, as the prophets foretold? Hey! The prophecies plainly say that there is no time gap between Elijah and the dreadful day of the LORD! And yet Christians are taught that after getting himself nailed to a cross 2,000 years ago, JC zipped off the planet to live in never-neverland and hasn't shown his face since—and the only ashes Christians trample under foot are those left over after a Sunday afternoon weenie roast!
Anyway, the Gospels give us more insight into J the B, such as this little tidbit in Matthew 3:3: "For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias [Isaiah], saying, the voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight." Would you care to see what the editors of The Collegeville Bible Commentary have to say about what you just read? No. Well, I'll tell ya anyway: "The citation [in Matthew] is not quite accurate and does not give the original meaning of the passage." (The Collegeville Bible Commentary: Based on the New American Bible, revised edition. Collegeville, MN: Liturgical Press, 1988, p. 437.)
Now, let's see what it is that the boys at Collegeville were talking about by going back to Isaiah. The KJV renders Isaiah 40:3 thus: "The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God." The Tanakh translates this, "A voice rings out: 'clear in the desert a road for the Lord! Level in the wilderness a highway for our God!" The New International Version: "A voice of one calling: 'In the desert prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the wilderness a highway for our God." The New American Standard says: "A voice is calling, 'Clear the way for the Lord in the wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God."
Hey! If this is about John the Baptist I'll start eatin' honey-flavored locust myself! Put simply, Isaiah 40:3 is not about John the Baptist—you only think it is because that's what you've heard all your life! The "voice" in the prophecy of Isaiah was not in the "wilderness"; the voice was to proclaim that a highway was to be built in the "wilderness". This is all-telling because Isaiah is a prophecy about the redemption of the end-time Israelites and their return to Israel, whereas in Matthew it's twisted to foretell the career of a solar-deity named Jesus Christ!
For the more skeptical Christians among you—those who'd like to tell me where to put my bible—may I suggest that you turn off the t.v., put down the chips and crack open your handy dandy bible to Isaiah 11:16: "And there shall be an highway for the remnant of His people which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt." Now, turn to Isaiah 19:23: "In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt ..." Next read Isaiah 34:35: "The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose." Let's toss in Isaiah 35:8: "And a highway shall be there and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those; the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein." Isaiah 35:10 makes it clear that this highway goes to Zion, or Jerusalem, and the people walking on it are returning Israelites! Add all this to Isaiah 40:5: "And the Glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it!"
For all you bible-believin' Christians, let me ask you this: When cousins John & Jesus were doing their thing 2,000 years ago, did the above happen? Did the earth's wicked burn up? Did the righteous tread down their ashes beneath the soles of their feet? Did all twelve tribes of Israel return via some super highway to Zion? Did the whole earth see the revelation of the glory of the LORD? Yeah, right! Hey baby, if J the B was Elijah and Jesus was the LORD, then Jehovah or Yahweh or God or whatever you care to call him, lied through his teeth—if indeed gods do have teeth!
Oh. That's right. I told you that J the B was one of the few dudes who called Jesus a liar and lived to tell the tale. Flip on over to John 1:21 and take a look at what the guy said when he was talkin' to a bunch of Pharisees: "And they [the Pharisees] asked him [John the Baptist], What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No." (ASV)
Yep! No doubt about it! When J the B denied being Elijah, he called Cousin JC a liar!
Well, my money's on Cousin John, since he ought to know who the hell he was, or was not, and since JC was a notorious liar anyway. But come to think of it, maybe the guy had eaten one too many bugs.
In Matthew 11:3 we find John sittin' around in prison awaiting his execution. I can certainly understand the poor guy feeling a bit down on that day, but I have to wonder if he was completely off his rocker when he sent two of his disciples to Jesus with this question: "Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?"
Eating bugs, wearing girdles, hearing voices from heaven, being reincarnated; that John the B was one messed up dude. But at least I can give Jesus credit when he tried to cover up for his slightly insane cousin by telling a crowd in Matthew 11:11: "Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist!"
Hmmm ... on the other hand maybe JC didn't do such a good job covering for his cousin. I mean, if John was greater than Jesus Christ, then Christianity is worshiping the wrong savior! Oh well. Who can figure out anything when it comes to guys who hear voices in their heads? I guess the only good news about the John & Jesus Show is that Cousin John's severed head managed to reproduce itself over the centuries, since at least a dozen Christian churches and shrines claim to have it, or a piece of it. My only question is: do all those heads still hear voices?
If you're like me, nowadays you seldom bother to turn on the "news" or glance at a "news" paper. What's the use? Those of us with an ounce of gray matter have long ago figured out that America's "news" is all cleverly-devised programming to keep the masses mooing in unison by a nameless, faceless but well-organized insidious enemy that is steadily bringing this nation to the edge of its own grave. We also understand that this finely-tweaked programming has been so effective that the only thing left to do before pulling the plug is to mop up a few minor problems—primarily mopping up those Americans who are still infected with the disease of independent thought.
Lenin and Stalin cured their enslaved people from thinking by murdering some 60 or more million of them. When one gives a tyrant free reign, and the right to suppress freedom of speech, mass execution is just around the corner.
The solution for independent thought in America is daunting because A) we still have some vestiges of a republic and B) we have those nasty, inconvenient little Constitutional rights standing in the way. One of those is the right to keep and bear arms, which has repeatedly barred the way of a modern-day Lenin coming on the scene. Another is the right to believe, speak and write anything we damn well please! Sure, we have men and women who are feverishly working day and night to circumvent these obstacles, but so far they keep running into those pesky little Constitutional Amendments. But where there's a will—and the dictatorial control of the national media, banking and political system—there's a way! It's called "hate speech crimes."
Back when I was a boy if you called someone a "fat queer" you got busted in the mouth or called a name in return. Today, in numerous democratic nations, if you call someone a "fat queer" you can be arrested, jailed and fined. Hell, if you open your yap in Brazil and get dumped in the slammer, you can't even make bail! Yep! In good old democratic Brazil you can rob, rape and/or murder someone and walk out if you lay down the green (or whatever the color of their money is), but commit the crime of hurting someone's feelings and you're in for the duration! However, you should be under no illusion here. The powers-that-be don't give a rat's ass about anyone's sensitivities. Hate speech legislation isn't designed to protect people's feelings—they're on the book for one thing, and one thing only.
Essentially the Zionist state of Israel exists because of the Holocaust. Had there been no Holocaust, there would be no Israel. That's why the Holocaust has grown into a trillion-dollar industry and that's why belief in it must be sustained at all costs.(1) It is not an exaggeration to say that Zionism is the Holocaust industry and the Holocaust industry is Zionism. Over the years this unholy partnership has grown so great that it now controls America's national media, educational institutions, political and banking systems. That's why the American taxpayers have built the Israeli military into the most powerful force in the Middle East and indeed in many parts of the world. That's why Zionists, after they invaded, stole and ethnically cleansed Palestine, can rob, torture and murder what's left of the native population with little or no repercussions. That's why this entire world is on the brink of a giant abyss.
I say this because, in short, the Holocaust industry has placed Zionism at the head of the coming New World Order and that deadly peril knows no bounds in achieving its aims. However, there is one little problem that threatens the whole house of cards: the Holocaust is not quite the tale promoted in countless multi-million dollar Hollywood films, television productions, newspaper and magazine articles and books. Nope! Today honest scholarship and a handful of honest scholars hang over the tale of the Holocaust industry and Zionist aims like a Damocles Sword.
Now, no one disputes that Jews were systematically rounded up and deported from Germany and the conquered territories, and that many died tragic deaths. But today an ever-growing number of brave historians are disputing the official Holocaust tale by citing documents like those from the World Centre of Contemporary Jewish Documentation in Paris which states that 1,485,292 Jews died from all causes during the Second World War. Indeed, some historians have found evidence that brings even that revised figure into question, and argue for a death toll dipping down to a few hundred thousand. Either way there's a hellava difference between those numbers and the 6 million figure promoted by various Zionist enterprises to keep the Holocaust cash cow thriving—and it's a hellava difference compared to the some 70 million so-called gentile deaths in World War Two!(2)
So, if you're a dedicated Zionist how do you keep your cash cow safe in a world that is increasingly hostile to your goings-on? Answer: hate crime legislation!
In a guilt-ridden, occupied nation like Germany it was child's play to make criticism of the Holocaust industry a crime punishable by huge fines and years in prison. I say "occupied" because Germany's government isn't its own. After America and England murdered millions of German women and children with terror carpet bombing and ethnic cleansing during and after World War Two, and after Eisenhower murdered a million German POWs when the war ended, these benevolent conquerors imposed a new Americanized government on what was left of the German people. However, America didn't give the prostrate Germans things like our inconvenient Constitutional rights. Nope! Thanks to Zionists like Henry Morganthau, Jr. (Roosevelt's Secretary of the Treasury and author of the murderous Morganthau Plan that would have led to the starvation deaths of 10 million Germans), today's Americanized Germans have no inalienable right to free thought or expression.(3)
Owning, reading, giving or discussing this book in Germany will get you five years in prison.
The same situation pretty much exists in other European nations and British Commonwealth nations, like Australia, Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Serbia, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Tasmania and the United Kingdom.
In the U.K. hate crime laws go by tidy little tags like "incitement to racial hatred" or "incitement to religious hatred" and can include such horrendous crimes as openly complaining about Islamic fundamentalist immigrants who target native Anglo-Saxon girls for rape. The same is true in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, which are undergoing a national crisis of Islamic males raping Scandinavian girls.(4) In those countries countless people are in prison or have been heavily fined for stating aloud what everyone knows to be true. But this is the price Europeans are forced to pay because they silently stood by and allowed the Holocaust industry to buy off their politicians and pass hate crime legislation. And make no mistake: in every single instance, including this country, the people behind the push for hate crime legislation have been Zionists or their front "persons"!
So, where's all this leading?
Last month, after years of trying to shove hate crime legislation down our throats, America's self-serving House of Representatives finally passed a hate crimes bill (249-175) and sent it on to the Senate. Unless there's a massive outcry by the American people (which is about as likely as someone getting up from the sofa to manually change channels on their big screen t.v. instead of using the remote) and those bugaboos in the Senate cave in, I have little doubt that we will soon have a hate crime law on the federal books. When that happens our once-powerful nation along with its First Amendment will be (as Margaret Mitchell might have said it) a civilization gone with the wind.
Indeed, the potential for this kind of Orwellian society was what caused British comedian Rowan Atkinson (famous in America for his Black Adder t.v. series) to write a solemn letter to the Times of London when Parliament was debating hate crime legislation back in 2001:
But you need to understand that religion, race and sexual orientation is only the strawman for an insidious racket. In case you're not getting the picture, let me spell it out: the real reason for hate crime legislation is shielding from scrutiny and criticism both Zionism and its ultimate goal of creating a New World Order. That's it in a nut shell and it's a picture that is easily proven thanks to one little fly in the NWO ointment.Religion As a Fit Subject For Comedy
From Mr. Rowan Atkinson
Sir, I hope that I am not the only person in the creative arts who feels great disquiet about the proposals outlined by the Home Secretary in the Commons today, to introduce legislation to outlaw what has been described as "incitement to religious hatred" (reports, October 16). Having spent a substantial part of my career parodying religious figures from my own Christian background, I am aghast at the notion that it could, in effect, be made illegal to imply ridicule of a religion or to lampoon religious figures.
Supporters of the proposed legislation would presumably say that neither I, nor any of my colleagues in the comedy world, are its intended targets, but laws governing highly subjective or moral issues tend to drag a very fine net, and some of the most basic freedoms of speech and expression can get caught up in it.
I have always believed that there should be no subject about which one cannot make jokes, religion included. Clearly, one is always constricted by contemporary mores and trends because, after all, what one seeks above all is an appreciative audience. However, would a film like "Monty Python's Life of Brian", criticized at the time of its release for being anti-Christian, be judged under the proposed law? Or that excellent joke in "Not the Nine O'Clock news" all those years ago, showing worshippers in a mosque simultaneously bowing to the ground with the voiceover: "And the search goes on for the Ayatollah Khomein's contact lens"? Not respectful, but comedy takes no prisoners. However, in period and in context it was extremely funny and I believe that it is the reaction of the audience that should decide the appropriateness of a joke, not the law of the land.
For telling a good and incisive religious joke, you should be praised. For telling a bad one, you should be ridiculed and reviled. The idea that you could be prosecuted for the telling of either is quite fantastic.
Yours faithfully,
ROWAN ATKINSON

Back when Hollywood was in its infancy, Zionists took complete control of the new motion picture industry because they recognized the tremendous potential. Never in the history of the world was a propaganda tool more powerful than motion pictures. Once in control these new self-appointed lords of public opinion recreated the Western world. Today Hollywood Zionists can truly boast that they have recreated America in their image and after their likeness. If you doubt me, take a look at the December 19, 2008 column by well-known Los Angeles Times writer Joel Stein. He titled his piece "How Jewish is Hollywood? A poll finds more Americans disagree with the statement that 'Jews control Hollywood.' But here's one Jew who doesn't." Let me give you a dose of Stein's bragging:
I have never been so upset by a poll in my life. Only 22% of Americans now believe "the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews," down from nearly 50% in 1964. The Anti-Defamation League, which released the poll results last month, sees in these numbers a victory against stereotyping. Actually, it just shows how dumb America has gotten. Jews totally run Hollywood.
How deeply Jewish is Hollywood? When the studio chiefs took out a full-page ad in the Los Angeles Times a few weeks ago to demand that the Screen Actors Guild settle its contract, the open letter was signed by: News Corp. President Peter Chernin (Jewish), Paramount Pictures Chairman Brad Grey (Jewish), Walt Disney Co. Chief Executive Robert Iger (Jewish), Sony Pictures Chairman Michael Lynton (surprise, Dutch Jew), Warner Bros. Chairman Barry Meyer (Jewish), CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves (so Jewish his great uncle was the first prime minister of Israel), MGM Chairman Harry Sloan (Jewish) and NBC Universal Chief Executive Jeff Zucker (mega-Jewish). If either of the Weinstein brothers had signed, this group would have not only the power to shut down all film production but to form a minyan with enough Fiji water on hand to fill a mikvah.
The person they were yelling at in that ad was SAG President Alan Rosenberg (take a guess). The scathing rebuttal to the ad was written by entertainment super-agent Ari Emanuel (Jew with Israeli parents) on the Huffington Post, which is owned by Arianna Huffington (not Jewish and has never worked in Hollywood.)
The Jews are so dominant, I had to scour the trades to come up with six Gentiles in high positions at entertainment companies. When I called them to talk about their incredible advancement, five of them refused to talk to me, apparently out of fear of insulting Jews. The sixth, AMC President Charlie Collier, turned out to be Jewish.
As a proud Jew, I want America to know about our accomplishment. Yes, we control Hollywood. Without us, you'd be flipping between "The 700 Club" and "Davey and Goliath" on TV all day.
I appreciate [ADL director Abe] Foxman's concerns. And maybe my life spent in a New Jersey-New York/Bay Area-L.A. pro-Semitic cocoon has left me naive. But I don't care if Americans think we're running the news media, Hollywood, Wall Street or the government. I just care that we get to keep running them.(5)
As Mr. Stein says, Zionists not only control Hollywood, they control the major television networks, the banking and financial systems and the judiciary and legislative branches of the federal government. Moreover, their brothers-in-arms have almost the same dictatorial control in those nations that have passed hate crime legislation. But, the only thing that is standing in the way of the final implementation of a New World Order is First and Second Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. And the only thing that has kept these two amendments from biting the dust is the tremendous informational network called the Internet, which isn't yet under Zionist control. On the Net, 24/7, Americans can say and write anything they damn well please and hundreds of millions from around the world are listening and watching! That is why American hate speech legislation is vital to the New World Order and why it has been on the agenda for decades.
When President Obama criminalizes "hate speech" in America the party's over. Down will come the Internet and the collective asses of true Americans are fried!
Someone once said "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it!"
A few days ago America commemorated Memorial Day. Looking beyond all those Memorial Day sales, picnics and beach parties, you might care to remember that it's a day to stop and remember and honor those who've fought and died—who lie forever buried in the sands of far-away foreign lands—to preserve our nation's precious freedoms. Of course maybe you're one of those who are content to ignore the sacrifices of our dead heroes and whoop it up at a Memorial Day cookout. Maybe you're content to continue along with the lowing herd as it marches blithely towards the gates of the meat packing plant. But I'm one old bovine who deeply appreciates the sacrifices made by our nation's soldiers and in their memory I will continue to think and write and bellow loud and long while there's still time! I say screw hate crime legislation and I say those who promote it are traitors to all our nation stands for—or used to stand for!(6)

Okay! I'll admit it: I should have written a review when I first got my paws on Fred R. Coulter's new bible translation—some two years ago—but what the hell? I mean, after some 2,000 years of bibles raining from the sky, what's a year or two, more or less?
Now, as far as publishing goes, Fred's new bible is damned impressive—even if it is produced in China! Whew! Talk about your luxury binding, this baby sports a pure lambskin cover (doubtlessly the rest of the little Chinese lamb wound up in a Mongolian stir-fry), and gold leaf edges, as well as that usual toilet paper-thin bible paper with that delicious new bible smell that could only come from a combo of leather processing, glue, paper & printing chemicals!
Cracking the covers, one of the first things I noticed was Fred's braggadocio that he produced his new bible on his own—no committee nitpicking and haggling over where to or where not to place a comma. In other words, this is Fred's baby from start to finish! And the title Fred gave to his new bible is a mouthful: The Holy Bible In Its Original Order A New English Translation A Faithful Version with Commentary. Lord Almighty! That's one impressive title, and (if I may be a tad bit critical here) one that promises a heapin' helpin' of self-righteousness! Come on Fred! To me such a title bespeaks of a man with an ego the size of Mt. Rushmore. Hey—even Herbert W. Armstrong, Fred's one-time boss and mentor, declined the invite to write his own bible—and old Herbie had an ego that would have made Mt. Rushmore look like someone's backyard rock garden!
Let me tell you something that maybe, just maybe, you've never contemplated: when a man or a committee of men produces a new bible, what they are admitting is that all those who've gone before are in some way deficient—meaning, their bibles were crap. I say "crap" because if a bible contains one little itsy-bitsy teenie-weenie mistake, then it's not God's word. The bible itself is very plain on this point. In fact, Fred's not shy in admitting this since he complains that virtually all bibles, beginning with the Septuagint down to the King James Version and beyond, are corrupt. And who do you suppose Fred blames for this situation? Does he blame the original nameless, faceless shysters who penned the first corrupt manuscripts? No. Like a good Protestant Fred goes for the throat of the Roman Catholic Church, specifically St. Jerome, whom he accuses of deliberately mishandling the "Holy Scriptures" and causing "great spiritual harm to untold numbers of people for over 1500 years." (p. 3)
That's quite an all-encompassing accusation, but at least Fred takes some of the heat off Jerome when he explains that the old boy had help: "Satan the devil and the political, secular, atheistic, sexist and religious establishments of this world have united in their efforts to destroy true Christianity and the truth of the Word of God." (p. ix) "The devil made 'em do it!" I suppose that's as good an excuse as any why the "holy bible" is a leather-bound book of crapola.
Let me be clear that I don't give a holy hoot about St. Jerome. But what I read in Fred's complaint is that for 1500 years God sat impotent on his heavenly throne while "untold numbers of people" were spiritually harmed and lost their salvation because God had to wait for Fred R. Coulter to be born and then learn enough Greek to translate a new bible! If you think I've missed the mark, consider what Fred has one of his flock—a man named Philip Neal—write on page v of his new bible.
After first reminding us all of Matthew 24:35 and God's promise that his bible would never be lost or destroyed, Neal writes "In spite of the attempts of men whose goal is to modify or corrupt the Word of God, the promise of God stands sure. Down through the centuries, God has guided faithful men to reproduce accurate copies of the original God-breathed Hebrew and Greek text." Did he, did he indeed? Well, you're gonna see a few examples of God's guidance as before I'm through with Fred's new bible. Anyway, after bragging up Fred's new bible, Neal sums up Fred's efforts like this: "This combination of diligent effort and faith in the inspiration of the Holy Spirit has led to a translation that accurately and faithfully sets forth the true meaning of the text of the New Testament." In other words, Fred has Neal telling us that when one opens Fred's new bible, they're not seeing the result of Fred's human efforts, but are actually holding a book written by the Holy Spirit of God himself! Ooowee! That's one hellava claim—especially when we consider it in light of the warning that follows next.
Philip Neal reminds one & all that a translator is to translate the "Word of God" in "a precise, authentic and faithful manner—neither adding to nor taking away from the words of God! (Rev. 22:18-19.)" Failure to faithfully execute this command leads to a dreadful fate: being hit with the horrible plagues outlined in the terrifying book of Revelation, followed by an iron boot to the nether regions of hell!
Call me Mr. Picky, but I couldn't help but notice that Fred's new bible has 12 pages of introduction followed by 116 pages of selective history, insults to those whose beliefs don't match his own, gripes & insults about other bibles, positive quotes from Christians who shore up his own theology, and endless scriptural quotes to convince the reader that his own brand of Christianity is the one true faith. That's 128 pages added to "God's word" before one ever gets to the first chapter and verse of Genesis! In fact, the last part of his bible's title says it all: A Faithful Version with Commentary. If you write a bible with commentary, then by-god folks you're adding to the bible! But Fred wasn't through when he added 128 pages at the beginning of his bible. Nope! At the end of his bible Fred tacks on another 120 pages in the form of appendices promoting his brand of warmed-over Armstrongism. That's 248 pages of additions to a book that warns its believers of dire consequences should they add to or take away from the thing—and these 248 pages don't even include the numerous instances when Fred adds lengthy "commentary" to "original" scriptures! Well, since we're to believe that Fred and God wrote this thing together, let's just pretend that all is well in Oz and look at the actual bible.
According to Fred, he used two primary sources for his translation work: the Masoretic Text for the Old Testament and Robert Estienne's Greek Text of 1550, or the so-called Textus Receptus, for the New Testament. Here, I'm going to focus on the "original Greek" of the New Testament.
The long and short of the matter is that Fred, like all good Protestant translators before him, denounces the far older Western Greek Texts of Roman Catholicism's Latin Vulgate as corrupt, and opts for the more recent Byzantine Greek Texts, which are so called because they surfaced inside the Eastern (Orthodox) Christian Church when it formally split from the Western Church, or Roman Catholic Church, in the eleventh century. The fly in the ointment is that, 1) the oldest surviving Byzantine texts date back only one thousand or so years, and 2) in many important instances, the thousands of extant manuscripts not only differ from the Western Texts, they also differ in comparison with each other.
To correct this mess, in the sixteenth century bible translators decided to essentially reconstruct a new Byzantine Greek edition of the New Testament, which they did by artfully weaving together the conflicting manuscripts. The most famous attempt at this came from the great Catholic scholar, Desiderius Erasmus, working in Basel, Switzerland in 1516. I say "attempt" because the old boy's work left a lot to be desired. You see, old Erasmus was in a competition with Alcala de Henares University to become the first to get a translation of the Byzantine Greek New Testament into print. By cutting corners, Erasmus slopped his way through his translation until he slapped out his New Testament long before the University's Complutensian Polyglot translation hit the presses. As a purely political move, Erasmus dedicated his new translation to Pope Leo X "as a patron of learning."
As an example of his sloppy methods, Erasmus rarely used the oldest Byzantine manuscript because "he was afraid of its supposedly erratic text." And in the case of the book of Revelation, he used only one manuscript, which just happened to be missing six verses. As a substitute for the missing versus Erasmus snatched them from the Latin Vulgate for "what he supposed the Greek text should read." (The Oxford Companion to the Bible, p. 490.) Such crappy scholarship is why Erasmus' Greek New Testament has words that do not agree with any known Greek text and is why one contemporary English critic called Erasmus' work the "least carefully printed book ever published."
The bad news for Fred's new bible is that Erasmus' translation, which became known as the "Textus Receptus" or the "received text," forms the foundation of later Greek translations, specifically for the translation of Robert Estienne, who is also known as Robertus Stephanus in Latin and called Robert Stephens by 18th and 19th-century English writers. I say it's bad news for Fred because he brags up Stephens' Textus Receptus as the one on which is new bible is founded.
Fred writes: "A great deal of uncertainty about the state of the Greek New Testament needlessly exists among the ranks of textual critics today.… In spite of the uncertainty being expressed by the editors of the most popular Greek texts on the market today, there is a standard, reliable Greek text available for use. After researching the alternate Greek texts—eclectic or critical and Majority Text—we stand firmly behind the tradition of the Textus Receptus (1550 Stephens Text). Our choosing the Textus Receptus does not imply that it is perfect in every detail, for no text has been untouched by human hands; however, the Stephens Text is a highly reliable New Testament text, which is 98 percent or more in agreement with the Byzantine Text, which was the dominant form of the Greek text during the age of manul copying. We believe that the Byzantine Text, more than any other, represents the original God-breathed words of the New Testament." (p. 85, Fred's emphasis.)
I'm going to resist the temptation to point out the failure of Fred's all-powerful god to preserve his "God-breathed" holy word—a book that is essential for the eternal salvation of all humankind—from the tampering of Catholic monks. But I will point out that "98 percent" reliability spells disaster for a book that promises infallibility!
Now the really bad news for Fred's new bible is that old Bobby Estienne/Stephanus/Stevens' translation of the "original Greek" is essentially a copy of the fifth Erasmian text with variants! When he departs from this source, Fred's "inspired" translator used the Greek of the Biblia Complutensis, which was produced in 1502 under license of Pope Leo X by Cardinal Ximenes de Cisneros, Archbishop of Toledo, Spain. In his work the good cardinal used the great codices of the Catholic Church (i.e., the Western Texts behind the Latin Vulgate) to augment his limited collection of Byzantine codices, which tells us immediately both the underlying scholarship of Stephanus' text and that of Fred's bible.
In other words the "inspired original Greek" behind Fred's new bible—the infallible word of God of which he boasts—is traceable only to 1502-1516 where we find that it was essentially a piecemeal composition as reconstructed by three different men—and Catholic men to boot! And who knows how and by what means they came to select from the thousands of differing texts the final verses for their New Testament?
Blatantly ignoring these inconvenient facts in his 248 additional bible pages, Fred, with Estienne's grinning ghost looking over his shoulder, boldly proclaims "Indeed, the New Testament was written by, or its writing was supervised by, the chosen apostles of Jesus Christ. Therefore, one can have full faith and confidence that the original Greek text—as preserved in the Byzantine text—is the very Word of God." (p. 47.) In other words, if you have faith in the Byzantine texts, Pope Leo X, Cardinal Ximenes de Cisneros, Erasmus & Robert Estienne, you can have faith that Fred R. Coulter has produced an infallible bible from the "original" Byzantine Greek—especially since Fred has assured us all that the Holy Spirit was his co-author!
You know, when I find a religious book, bible or not, spouting this kind of crap, it really gets up my nose. But for me, the real kicker in Fred's new bible is his vicious attack on "atheistic" scholarship. I say this because Fred assures his readers that the bible is easily proven to be God's word, or is "God-breathed" as he likes to call it, and he "proves" his case by quoting the bible! Yep! That's it! For Fred R. Coulter, Holy Ghost-inspired bible translator, the bible is God's word because the bible says it is God's word—and "atheistic" scholarship be damned!
To make sure his readers don't seriously contemplate the utter folly of this "proof," Fred shores up his declaration by tossing in quotations from fundamentalist preachers like Dr. Edward F. Hills: "From his perspective as a textual scholar and classicist, Dr. Hills asserted that the has witnessed many Bible students 'panic and become virtual unbelievers in their biblical studies' because they have felt 'obligated to depend almost entirely on the writings' of scholars, 'most of whom are unbelievers' (ibid., p. 113). To avoid possible 'catastrophes of unbelief' that accompany such an indepth study of the biblical texts, Hills wrote: '… we must always emphasize the Christian starting point that all our thinking ought to have. If we are Christians, the we must begin our thinking not with the assertions of unbelieving scholars and their naturalistic human logic, but with Christ and the logic of faith.' …" (p. 84, quoting from Hills' book The King James Version Defended. The emphasis is Fred's.)
What Fred and Dr. Hills are advocating is giving scientific study of the Greek New Testament texts the boot and putting one's faith in Christ—which actually translates to having faith in men like Hills and Fred. In fact, he says as much when he writes: "Ultimately, believers must place their confidence in God's promises to preserve His word intact." (p. 85.) Since Fred wrote his own bible, what does that tell us about where his followers must put their faith?
Oh, regarding Fred's list of quoted scholars, I want to single out my old friend Josh McDowell. Yep! Old By-Gosh Josh, who probably wouldn't even bother to spit on Fred's church if it were on fire, is employed by Fred on page 85 of his new bible: "The historical reliability of the biblical manuscripts can be verified using the same principles for confirming the reliability of other historical documents. Author Josh McDowell offers an indepth review of this evidence. It can be found on pages 23-109 in his book The Best of Josh McDowell: A Ready Defense." (p. 84.)
Josh McDowell! josh mcdowell! JOSH MCDOWELL! As a little six-year-old agnostic friend of mine used to say, "yeah, right!" (For my opinion of Josh McDowell, see my article By-Gosh Josh: An Answer to Eric V. Snow.)
Listen, that massive army of agnostic/atheist bible translators and scholars denounced by Fred, Hills and Josh did use the same scientific tests for the bible as they do for all other historical documents, which is why they gave the bible a unanimous thumbs down! But you know what? I say to hell with arguing over scientific tests, or faith, or any other method of selling a bible. Simply turn to the pages of Fred's new bible with an open mind and you're going to find it full of contradictions and outright frauds from Genesis to Revelation. That's a fact, and one that puts Fred Coulter's The Holy Bible In Its Original Order A New English Translation A Faithful Version with Commentary right where it belongs: serving as a coaster under my coffee mug!
(As has been my policy for the 15 years I've been on the Net, I will offer a link to Fred R. Coulter's website so that you can read his material and make an informed judgment: http://www.cbcg.org You can buy Fred's bible through Amazon.com for $89.00: www.amazon.com/Holy-Bible-Its-Original-Order. For more insight into the history of the Old and New Testament, see my booklets How Christianity Got Its New Testament, and How Christianity Got Its Old Testament, which are posted free on this website in the Things You Never Heard In Church Series.)
Do you remember a creep named Jeffery Dahmer? Back in the late 70s through the early 90s he tortured, raped and murdered seventeen young men and, in some cases, ate parts of their bodies. More recently, over in Germany, a whacko named Armin Meiwes advertised on the Internet—a website called The Cannibal Cafe—for a young man who wanted to be eaten. His post stated that he was "looking for a well-built 18 to 30-year-old to be slaughtered and then consumed." In March 2001 a fellow nutcase named Bernd Jürgen Brandes answered the advertisement and helped Meiwes cut off and eat a part of his own body. Eventually Meiwes, who videotaped the whole thing, killed Brandes and over the next 10 months consumed a large portion of his corpse, which he kept in a freezer under some frozen pizzas.
For those of you out there with some still-functioning grey matter, I would like to suggest that for a few minutes you seriously consider the concept of a cannibalized god. Would you please consider what it means to worship a god that you are required to eat—a god whose blood you must drink in order to obtain eternal life? I mean, when it comes to gory stories of Jeffrey Dahmer and Armin Meiwes, all sane people shrink in disgust. But when it comes to chewing the fat of Jesus Christ, Christians smile like simpletons and open their beaks like chirping fledglings in a nest! Now blubber what excuses you will, but I tell you that something isn't quite right with that picture. I guess the short answer is that God's word tells you do it—at least that was my excuse when I used to cannibalize Jesus every Passover/Easter season: "And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." (Matthew 26:26)
But let's be fair. Jesus didn't originate this religious cannibal fetish. Nope! That distinction belongs to his father—the grand old man in the sky. It was the Father who set up the whole gory business of eating his son. Of course this is no surprise to those who have the courage to peer outside their so-called holy book and study the origins of their faith. Long before the world had (unfortunately) heard of Jehovah & Jesus, man-made gods were obsessed with blood and, in many cases, with being eaten by their faithful. That's why Jewish priests, during the Captivity, saddled their god with a blood fetish when they composed their holy books. Judaism simply borrowed the bloody attributes of far older religions so that they could instantly gain respectability among the ancient world's most popular religions. (For more detail, see my booklet Where Christianity Really Got Its Old Testament.)
Now if you're tempted to think I'm going overboard on the cannibal thing, then you should consider the horror those ancient rabbis wrote into your so-called bible—Jehovah's obsession with blood and gore. Take Deuteronomy 12:27 for example: "And thou shalt offer thy burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD thy God: and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD thy God, and thou shalt eat the flesh."
True, the scripture above concerns sloshing about the blood & guts of animals on the holy altar of God. And true, the Old Testament, or Tanakh, condemns human sacrifice as barbaric. But this condemnation is specifically reserved for the worship of the "pagan" gods Baal or Moloch. When it comes to glorifying his own vanity, Yahweh/Jehovah/God/LORD/the Holy One of Israel doesn't bat an eye in accepting human sacrifice.
Judges chapter 11 is a perverted, disgusting tale, if ever one was penned. There we are introduced to a creep—an Israelite judge named Jephthah—who makes a vow to sacrifice the first thing that comes out of the door of his house as a burnt offering (verse 30) in exchange for Jehovah's help with slaughtering the Ammonites. When his only beloved virgin daughter pops out the door to greet her dear old dad on his return from slaughtering twenty towns full of people, Jephthah keeps his vow to Jehovah and hacks her into pieces, sloshes her blood upon Jehovah's altar and burns the gory mess in thanksgiving to his bloody-thirsty god. Without doubt this horrible ending was acceptable to Jehovah because he sat up there in heaven and didn't lift a holy finger to stop the cold-blooded murder of an innocent girl to satiate his desire for absolute obedience!
In II Samuel 21:6-10 we find another example of blood sacrifice to appease Jehovah, which happened when King David came to the throne. God cursed Israel with a famine because the former King Saul had sinned by murdering some people called Gibeonites. The only way to pacify the homicidal Jehovah was to hang seven of Saul's sons on crosses and then murder them. (A fair-minded person should wonder aloud why God didn't stop Saul from murdering the Gibeonites in the first place, and why he then compounded his crime by adding seven more murders on top of it? He or she should also wonder how this tale squares with God's promise that he doesn't punish children for the sins of their fathers. Oh, and I'm going to resist the temptation here to note a bold contradiction between II Samuel 6:23 and II Samuel 21:8, which has to do with the number of children born to Michal, Saul's daughter, whose sons were murdered in the tale!)
Okay, so a human sacrifice isn't the same as eating someone. Fine, but you should be aware that God has no problem with cannibalism. The Holy One is perfectly willing to sit up there in heaven and look down as his chosen ones are eaten alive! Indeed, it seems to be his prescription for those who break any of his 613 Old Testament/Tanakh laws. But now hold on! The Lord does such things, so we are assured, because he loves his people and simply wants to teach them right from wrong.
And so "fatherly love" is why God, in Deuteronomy 28:52-58, threatens his beloved children with cannibalism should they fail him: "And he [your enemies] shall besiege thee in all thy gates ... And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee: So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave: So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD."
Now maybe I'm a simpleton, but as a father I would be a tad bit less harsh with my children for disobedience. I mean, what the hell is it with this "loving" god anyway? Couldn't he perhaps wipe out a sinner's life savings, or give his house dryrot for sinning—instead of unleashing the scourge of cannibalism? Well, if you are a serious student of the bible you will know that when Jehovah gets pissed, he's quite inventive in his punishments. What I mean is that the Holy One of Israel is just a bit twisted when it comes to revenge. If you think I'm stretching the blanket here, I'm gonna give you a medley of scriptures to make my point.
We'll start in II Kings 6:26-29: "As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, 'Help me, my lord the king. The king replied ... 'What's the matter?' She answered, 'This woman said to me, 'Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we'll eat my son.' So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, 'Give up your son so we may eat him,' but she had hidden him." Lamentations 4:10: "With their own hands compassionate women have cooked their own children, who became their food when my people were destroyed." Leviticus 26:29: "And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat." Isaiah 9:19-20: "Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall spare his brother. And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm." Isaiah 49:26: "And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine." Jeremiah 19:9: "And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend." Ezekiel 5:10: "Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers." And finally Zechariah 11:9: "I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another."
Yep! The Lord thy God will sit up there in heaven and watch as his chosen ones butcher their children like suckling lambs and toss them into boiling pots and stuff baby stew into their bellies because dad sinned by raping his slave—no, wait; owning a slave and raping her wasn't a sin. Okay, let's say dad sinned by eating a "cud-chewing" rabbit. God's prescription for the wayward Israelite: dad grab the kids by the throat and mom rattle those pots & pans!
Anyway you slice it, Jehovah has a blood/cannibal fetish, which brings us back to Jesus Christ and the Passover/Easter season. To recap, let's read Jesus' words, this time in John 6:53-56: "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him."
Like father, like son! Come to think of it, like Saturn, like Ninib and like all the other cannibalistic gods of yore.
It's not my purpose to write extensively about the cannibalistic nature of God. I've done that in other articles. My purpose here is to get you to think clearly enough to actually examine your bible in the light of reason and sanity. You can start by telling me what is sane about a god and/or a religion that is obsessed with blood and wholesale murder? Come on! Don't you realize that the Judaic/Christian blood obsession has been the justification for oceans of spilled blood? (Think George W. Bush and his declaration that God told him to invade Iraq!) Don't you understand that if this biblical insanity isn't checked it may well lead to the destruction of this planet? Well, if you skip merrily off to Easter or Passover this year and take a bite outta your god, then I guess the answer is no. You are still one of the legion of bleating sheep out there who, by your profound stupidity, have turned this world into a place more frightening than Dante's Inferno!
By now you've probably heard or read about Pope Benedict's public relations faux pas, which is to say his reinstatement of Holocaust-denying Bishop Richard Williamson. From around the world Jews are hopping mad and have presented the Catholic Church with a list of demands to soothe their outraged dignity. All and well. But isn't it time that someone, somewhere, raised the question of a Jewish double standard? There are a number of examples I could use, but let's take the fact that until three years ago sex slavery was legal in the so-called Holy Land.
It's high time that Christians face the ugly facts and understand that Israel is a 'hot spot' for male tourists who want no-strings-attached sex, and the prostitutes in question, some as young as twelve, have been kidnapped—mostly from Russia or other former Soviet Bloc countries—and are being forced to perform sex through violence and intimidation.
The typical scenario is this: a poor Russian girl with few employment prospects in her homeland will read an advertisement for jobs in Israel. The advertised job may be for an au pair or housekeeper, a secretary, hotel worker, model or dancer. The girl may be lured with promises of marriage to a wealthy man in another country through sham marriage broker companies. Once the girl answers the advertisement she comes in contact with an organized crime ring and is kidnapped. She and a group of other hopeful Russian girls are taken to Israel, often through Egypt where gangs of bedoins routinely transport them across the Israeli border.
Once in Israel, the girls are stripped of their passports and informed in no uncertain terms of their slave status. Those who don't readily comply are beaten and tortured into compliance, and/or told things like their parents' home will be burned down or their younger sister kidnapped and sold into sex slavery if they cause trouble. Once processed, they are sold in auctions to crime bosses and kept in brothels where they are hired out for various sex acts an average of 15-20 times per day.
In a March 30, 2006 article in the Canadian Jewish Tribune, Julie Lesser interviewed Canadian journalist and activist Victor Malarek: "'Newspaper ads from modelling and employment agencies promise exciting jobs, but the women are duped,' Malarek told the Jewish Tribune. 'They must submit, or they are raped, beaten and tortured. There are between 5,000 and 10,000 trafficked women in Israel and more than 280 brothels in Tel Aviv alone. It is a human rights issue the Jewish community knows about. They have a voice and they must use it.'" (The Jewish Tribune.)
The fact is that human trafficking was legal in Israel up until October 2006, when, due to tremendous international pressure, an anti-human-trafficking law was finally passed by the Israeli Knesset. However, according to the U.S. State Department, as of 2008 Israel was still not in compliance with the new law. In other words, the law is on the books and sex slavery continues as before! In fact, trafficked women don't generally get help from the police, one reason being that many brothel customers are police officers. Just as bad other regular customers are rabbis and other ultra-orthodox Jews and Israeli soldiers—who get discounts if they are in uniform!
The purpose for this commentary is not to report on this horrific crime—the Internet is full of information for those who want to know. My purpose is to point out to Christians (as they are the main audience of this web site) that forced prostitution and sex slavery—as well as other forms of slavery—is currently commonplace in the so-called Holy Land—a nation that portrays itself to the world as a pious example to the rest of us, as a beacon of light and democracy to the nations, as a protector of human rights and dignity. It truly is a travesty to me that Christians can't seem to see through the sham and, even more, the "holy" book that stands behind it.
The hard truth is that Judaism is founded on the priciples laid down in the Old Testament and the Talmud. In the Old Testament, prostitution is condemned only in those instances where it is connected with pagan worship or when the prostitute in question is the daughter of a priest or a betrothed or married woman. A single girl can prostitute herself without fear of condemnation, as long as it's not connected with pagan worship. Examples abound in the Old Testament of God permitting the selling of foreign girls into sex slavery to Israelite men. Modern Israel operates on these principles.
The inconvenient truth is that the Modern State of Israel is not in any way compatible with Christian values. If you choose to be a Christian, as least learn this lesson about Judaic values and stop equating them with your own.

Unless you've been holed up in Las Vegas on a two-month drunk, you've surely seen the heart-wrenching photos coming out of the land of Palestine, which a group of American-funded terrorists renamed Israel back in 1948.
For the so-called Israelis, who are quite practiced at murdering stone-throwing children with sophisticated high-powered American-made weaponry, it's business as usual. It's another year in the proud tradition of killing in the name of God.
For the so-called fundamentalist Christians, who proudly proclaim a belief in every word that proceedeth forth from the mouth of God, it's an exciting time to be alive. For these consummate hypocrites, the dead, mutilated faces of Palestinian children is prophecy being fulfilled.
Now there's not much use in me belaboring the point. Since 1995 Lawrence, Linda and I have been on the Internet proving to anyone unafraid to think for themselves, the truth about the Jewish and Christian bibles. And so, either you are an ignorant, cowardly Christian fundamentalist or Jew who wholeheartedly believes in a racist, murderous deity, or you're a humanist who can see no excuse on this earth for an "Israeli" to use his American-made F-17 jet to machine gun a group of Arab children.
There's no middle ground.
To hell with politics. To hell with religion. To hell with sticking your head in the sand. Either you stand up to the bought-and-paid-for American political and media whores who allow the so-called Israelis to plunder, torture and murder at will, or you are part of the problem. And to you who claim that "prophecy" is being daily fulfilled in the Middle East, I tell you that it's your ignorant belief in an ancient superstition that has brought down the deadly scourge of Middle East unrest. It's your blindness that allows a sophisticated group of international terrorists to use an ancient blueprint for Armageddon to do what they do to the cheers of fundamentalist Christians who are too ignorant to understand that they're being used!
As we drag our sorry selves into another year, any sane person must concede that the problems facing the planet are enormous, as are the potential consequences. And, as always, "men of God" are in full form preaching impending doom and offering salvation—for a fee. So, what else is new? They've been doing this for nigh on 2,000 years. What they haven't been doing for most of that time is defending their so-called word of God from critics.
Long gone are the days when one could be arrested, tortured and burned alive for questioning the illogic of "God's word." On the other hand, it's not been all that long ago that one could be arrested for opening a store or ploughing a field on the Christian "Sabbath." Nor is it a dim memory when publishing material like we do on this page would send one to prison.
As late as 1919 an Australian editor named Robert Samuel Ross (1873-1931) was charged with seeking to "vilify Almighty God and bring the Holy Scriptures and Christian religion in contempt among the people." The offending item was a satire—Bolshevism Has Broken Out In Heaven—God Abdicate—from a recent issue of The Daily Liar—wherein bolsheviks were portrayed ascending to heaven, ransacking its kingdom, torturing the angels and rolling their own cigarettes with pages torn from the Book of Judgement. Ross was found guilty of a "vile and indecent attack on Christian Religion," and sentenced to six months hard labor, which, after concentrated international pressure, was later reduced to a heavy fine.
In England, the climate was every bit as treacherous as in the colonies. In 1911, 1917 and 1921 John William Gott, editor of the Truthseeker journal, accumulated twenty-three months and two weeks in prison for publishing "blasphemous" matter. In fact Gott's 1921 sentence has the distinction of being the last conviction for blasphemy in England.
Even with their First Amendment guarantee of free speech, Americans were not immune to prosecution for publically questioning the "Holy Scriptures." Many states had laws against blasphemy, such as this nineteenth century Massachusetts statute, which, by the way, is still on the books: "Whoever wilfully blasphemes the holy name of God by denying, cursing or contumeliously reproaching God, his creation, government or final judging of the world, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching or exposing to contempt and ridicule, the holy word of God contained in the holy scriptures shall be punished by imprisonment in jail for not more than one year or by a fine of not more than three hundred dollars, and may also be bound to good behavior."
Thankfully, our present "godless" society allows a certain measure of intellectual freedom, which has forced present-day bible thumpers into the position of defending the absurdities of their "holy" bible—like the defensive article I found in a recent issue of a fundamentalist Sabbatarian magazine.
Before I plough into it, I'm going to be magnanimous and give the article's author the benefit of doubt, which is to say, as a courtesy I'll take it for granted that he sincerely believes what he writes and is fundamentally ignorant of what his bible really shovels out.
Okay. The article in question can be found in the January 2009 edition of televangelist Gerry Flurry's pro-Zionist Philadelphia Trumpet. Titled "King Solomon's Mines—Found!" author Robert Morley declares that the re-dating of an ancient copper mine in Jordan proves the bible is God's word: "As politicians seek to sign away chunks of Israeli territory, the stones cry out about Israel's link to the land and testify of the Bible's authenticity" he blathers! "Those who relegate King David and his son Solomon to the realm of petty tribal chieftains, or even myth, are having a lot of explaining to do lately. Archaeology is yielding up proof after proof that not only is the Bible an extremely accurate historical document, but that the nation of Israel's tie to the land is irrefutable.... In a stunning discovery reported in October, archaeologists believe they have uncovered one of the lost mines of King Solomon. It is not a little mine either—it is a massive structure, and, moreover, the find fits perfectly with what the Bible says about events surrounding the time of Israel's richest king." (www.thetrumpet.com)
Now Mr. Morely, archaeology has never yielded up "proof after proof that not only is the Bible an extremely accurate historical document," and "that the nation of Israel's tie to the land is irrefutable." Archaeology rarely does that. What it does is quite the opposite, which I have painstakingly detailed in my "Things You've Never Heard in Church" booklet series, such as Where Christianity Really Got Its Old Testament. Another booklet is Genesis: in the Beginning). And yet another is Satan: The Lies, the Myths, the Human Tragedy! Moreover, with the mountain of historical, archeological, geological and astronomical evidence discrediting the entire bible, I sincerely doubt that scholars of any stripe are scrambling to find explanations over the re-dating of one ancient muddy hole in the ground. I say this especially since those involved in the dig are merely speculating that they've found one of Solomon's "lost mines." Indeed, when pitted against the monumental evidence that proves the bible as humanity's greatest fraud, what you are trying to sell here is a macabre joke—even if the mine does turn out to be conclusively dated to the time of Solomon.
It's not that I blame you for declining to wade into the bible's multitude of errors and frauds, since accentuating the positive and eliminating the negative is a proven money maker. I mean, when a salesperson wants to sell a piece of junk they're hardly going to point out the problems to a prospective buyer. No. That onerous task falls to the buying public, which usually fails to do its homework before slapping down its hard-earned cash. This is precisely why selling junk and bullshit is such a huge success.
In her article "Biblical 'Solomon's mines' confirmed by dating" in the October 2008 New Scientist, Catherine Brahic writes: "It's not every day that science and the Bible come together to tell a piece of history. Modern dating methods have determined that huge mines in Jordan are 3000 years old, supporting the idea that they were the Biblical mines of Edom ruled by King David and his son Solomon." (www.newscientist.com)
As glowing as her statement sounds at first read, both Brahic and the man who has been excavating the site since 2008, Thomas E. Levy of the University of California San Diego, admit that the evidence doesn't prove that the mines belonged to the legendary King Solomon. Levy notes that they could have belonged to regional Edomite leaders, who are conveniently not mentioned in the largely fictional Old Testament/Tanakh stories. In fact, Levy honestly concedes that his data doesn't answer whether or not King Solomon ever actually existed, "but, he says, we've brought empirical data that shows we have to reevaluate those questions." (Los Angeles Times, Oct. 28, 2008. Journal reference: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences DOI: 10.1073/pnas.0804950105).
With the mountain of evidence against the tales of the Old Testament/Tanakh, in my opinion the only reason for "reevaluating" questions about King Solomon, and for digging about in a scorching hot desert to re-date an old mine, is to further the political cause of Zionism—which is the very point that Mr. Morely makes with his article!
If anyone really wants an answer to Dr. Levy's old copper mine (and Zionism), then I suggest a thorough reading of The Bible Unearthed, Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts. In that work, authors Israel Finkelstein, Professor of Archaeology at Tel Aviv University, and Neil Asher Silberman, a contributing editor to Archaeology Magazine, show, with a tremendous amount of archeological evidence, that the tales of ancient Israel's glory days are fiction. Based on Finkelstein and Silberman's research, the copper mine in question could have only belonged to either Edom or to Egypt, which might answer why Egyptian artifacts were found at Levy's dig.
Now, let's have this clear: a 3,000-year-old copper mine in ancient Canaan—whoever it belonged to—does not erase the fact that David and Solomon's "glorious" history was largely fabricated many hundreds of years after their supposed lifetimes by politically-motivated Jewish scribes during the Captivity. And more importantly, it does not erase all the hundreds of serious questions that litter the entire Old Testament, starting in Genesis 1:1.
These facts compel me to ask you, Mr. Morely, why you ignore the clear evidence of biblical fraud in favor of one little re-dated muddy hole in Jordan? Since I doubt you will answer, then I'll speculate that your efforts are made to shore up the humbug you and your ilk preach from a humbug book to a duped audience predisposed to believe your humbug.
Morley ends his article by writing: "The detailed accuracy of the Bible is continually being proven correct—word by word, stone by stone, day by day."
If Mr. Morely and his boss, "God's prophet" Gerald Flurry, are truly wanting to publish information about the "accuracy of the Bible," then let them start by outlining and then answering all the horrendous problems that I, and thousands of others, have delineated. But since that is as likely to happen as the second coming of Christ, then let me ask the dynamic duo one parting question: since Dr. Levy's evidence relies solely on radiocarbon dating and both you, Mr. Morley, and your boss Flurry seem to unquestionably accept it as fact, does this mean that you both are ready to accept radiocarbon dating method as reliable? (Hint: for those who don't know, most fundamentalists decry "radiocarbon" dating as "unreliable.") If so, then you must concede one damned big biblical inaccuracy: the dating of the heavens and the earth.
Come on, Mr. Morely; radiometric dating gives the age of the earth into the billions of years while your bible bluntly gives us a Universe that is approximately 6,000 years old. Since both can't be right, someone is telling a whopper!
But go hence with good cheer, Mr. Morely. Fortunately for your "work of God" and its income, ninety-nine percent of those who believe in the bible never, never obey Thessalonians 5:21's command to prove all things and hold fast to that which is good!
