clipper's remarks: Rarely since the WW2 has a people been so vilified as the Palestinians. Rarely has a people been so frequently excused and placated as the Israelis.

Israeli embassies are now buttonholing editors around the world, saying that it's not fair to call Israel's PM "hard-line". And the reporters are falling into line.

When Journalists Refuse To Tell the Truth About Israel
'Fear of being slandered as "anti-Semites" means we are abetting terrible deeds in the Middle East'

What if we had explained the shooting of 56 black protesters at Sharpeville as an understandable "security crackdown" by the South African police. And described black children shot by the police as an act of "child sacrifice" by their parents? What if we had called upon the "terrorist" ANC leadership to "control their own people".

New GAO Report: Who would you believe about IRAQ?

US agency disputes claims from Pentagon report on Iraq

The audit released by the independent Government Accountability Office (GAO) painted a starkly different picture of the war than another report issued yesterday by the Pentagon, which touted the decrease in violence and called the Iraqi political landscape "positive" but "fragile".

"The goals and objectives of" the surge strategy that George Bush announced in early 2007, GAO auditors wrote, "are contained in disparate documents rather than a single strategic plan."

The GAO appeared to take a dim view of the administration's top-secret Joint Campaign Plan (JCP) -- described by the New York Times as a "detailed document" that projects a major US commitment to Iraq through next year.

Rezko Denies Any Corrupt Connection to Obama

US elections: Rezko says prosecutors pressured him to implicate Obama

Tony Rezko, the Chicago political money man and early supporter of Barack Obama, told a federal judge that prosecutors in his corruption case pressured him to implicate the Illinois senator.

The real-estate developer and fast-food magnate was convicted in federal court last week of 16 corruption charges. His association with Obama dogged the senator throughout the primary campaign, and the Republican party has said it will draw attention to their ties as he faces off against John McCain in November.

"They are pressuring me to tell them the 'wrong' things that I supposedly know about [Illinois] governor [Rod] Blagojevich and Senator Obama," he wrote. "I have never been party to any wrongdoing that involved the governor or the senator. I will never fabricate lies about anyone else for selfish purposes."

Obama was never implicated in Rezko's case, was never accused of wrongdoing and never testified at the trial.

US congressional report finds strong White House ties to corrupt lobbyist

The lobbyist and convicted fraudster Jack Abramoff had a direct pipeline to the Bush White House and influenced several key decisions, according to a bipartisan draft report released in Congress

The draft report found Abramoff associates using expensive gifts to curry favour with White House aides and orchestrating the sacking of a US state department negotiator who disagreed with them

report uncovered six one-on-one encounters between Abramoff and George Bush — four more than the White House has acknowledged previously in its denials of any significant ties to the lobbyist

"This evidence suggests that the White House failed to conduct even the most basic internal investigation of the White House relationship with Mr Abramoff before making public statements characterising the connection," the report states

report sheds a new and unwelcome spotlight on the Bush administration's role in the scandal.

Will the Mossad Assassinate Obama?

Clip Source: www.newsweek.com

Clip Source: www.israelenews.com

Most assassinations in recent history have been done by rogue elements in our government or the MOSSAD

One little known fact is that JFK had opposed Israel’s secret nuclear weapons program while his successor Lyndon Johnson turned a blind eye to it (and even refused to allow US carrier aircraft to shoot down Israeli fighters attacking the USS Liberty

Oswald was loudly protesting that he was a patsy during his two days in jail. Oswald was himself assassinated two days after JFK by Jack Ruby

Only the Israelis appear inclined to assassinate foreign politicians since they are immune from criticism in the Western press, and the MOSSAD has been largely successful at blaming certain terrorist events and assassinations on the Muslims

Polar bear shot dead after 200-mile swim

A polar bear that swam more than 200 miles in near-freezing waters to reach Iceland was shot on arrival in case it posed a threat to humans

The bear, thought to be first to reach the country in at least 15 years, was killed after local police claimed it was a danger to humans, triggering an outcry from animal lovers

The operation to kill the animal was captured on film

The adult male, weighing 250kg, was presumed to have swum some 200 miles from Greenland, or from a distant chunk of Arctic ice

"There was fog up in the hills and we took the decision to kill the bear before it could disappear into the fog"

Iceland's environment minister, Thorunn Sveinbjarnardottir, gave the green light for police to shoot the bear because the correct tranquiliser would have taken 24 hours to be flown in

account was disputed by the chief vet in the town of Blönduó

he had the drugs necessary to immobilise the bear

Rev. Hagee luvs the Jewish People! Oh yes he does!

On March 16, 2003, on the eve of the United States' invasion of Iraq, Pastor John Hagee took to the pulpit to warn of the coming Antichrist. In his sermon, "The Final Dictator," Hagee described the Antichrist as a seductive figure with "fierce features." He will be "a blasphemer and a homosexual," the pastor announced. Then, Hagee boomed, "There's a phrase in Scripture used solely to identify the Jewish people. It suggests that this man [the Antichrist] is at least going to be partially Jewish, as was Adolph Hitler, as was Karl Marx."

[Video]

This "fierce" gay Jew, according to Hagee, would "slaughter one-third of the Earth's population" and "make Adolph Hitler look like a choirboy."

Update: Did you know that God tricked the Florida Jews into supporting George W. Bush in 2000? Pastor John Hagee explains:

When the history of this era is finally written, Osama bin Laden and his scattering of followers may be credited for goading the fundamentalist leaders of the United States into using the power in their grasp so stupidly and profligately as to send the planet’s sole superpower into decline. Above all, bin Laden and his crew of fanatics will have ensured that the real security problems of our age were ignored in Washington until far too late in favour of mad dreams and dark phantoms. In this lies a bleak but epic tale of folly worthy of a great American novelist. In the meantime, consider the following list – 15 numbers that offer an indication of just what the tai chi principle meant in action these last years; just where American energies did and did not flow; and, in the end, just how much less safe we are now than we were in January 2001, when George Bush entered the Oval Office:

Nasa climate reports 'swayed by politics'

Political appointees placed by the Bush administration into senior positions within Nasa's media headquarters acted to play down and distort accounts given to the public of the research findings of its scientists on global warming, an official investigation has concluded

The space agency's internal watchdog, the inspector general, reports that from autumn 2004 until early 2006 Nasa's central public affairs office handled global warming in a way that "reduced, marginalised, or mischaracterised climate change science made available to the general public"

Clip Source: www.guardian.co.uk

The confirmation of political interference is vindication for James Hansen, Nasa's chief climate scientist and one of the first to sound the alarm over global warming. Claims of political dallying surfaced when Hansen said he had been blocked from taking part in a National Public Radio interview in December 2005

Fisk: So al-Qa'ida's defeated, eh? Go tell it to the marines

Last week the head of the CIA claimed it was winning the battle. Nonsense, argues Robert Fisk. The extremists in the Middle East are growing stronger

Six thousand dead in Afghanistan, tens of thousands dead in Iraq, a suicide bombing a day in Mesopotamia, the highest level of suicides ever in the US military – the Arab press wisely ran this story head to head with Hayden's boasts – and permanent US bases in Iraq after 31 December. And we've won?

General Peter Pace

aid of the American war in Iraq that "we are not winning but we are not losing"

Gates, said he agreed with Pace that "we are not winning but we are not losing".

James Baker

"I don't think you can say we're losing. By the same token, I'm not sure we're winning."

Bush

"We're not winning; we're not losing."

Am I alone in finding this stuff infantile to the point of madness?

The hell-disaster of the Middle East is now spread across Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Gaza, even Lebanon
