A Pyramid Scheme Made of Jewish Salami

Never again should America or the world be dragged so close to the precipice of a financial meltdown as we did in October of 2008. To make sure that such a thing never happens again, we must find out what happened the first time and devise a cure to neutralize the problems that led to it. So let’s begin by taking an honest look at the historical background.

Pyramids have troubled those who call themselves leaders of the Jews for ever. Throughout the centuries, the rabbis of Europe and their sidekicks who impersonated the Jewish people went around preaching that the ancient Jews built the pyramids of Egypt. The Europeans believed them because they did not know enough of the history to ask the right questions while the rabbis and the sidekicks sounded so believable.

Also, the rabbis took advantage of the fact that the Europeans were by now mostly Christian. The Bible being written in such language that you can interpret it as saying anything you want it to say, the rabbis made it sound like it was saying the religious duty of every Christian was to believe that the Jews built the pyramids.

But things have changed since the Dark Ages that used to plague the European continent, and they changed at the hands of the Arabs who sparked the Renaissance of the continent and brought about the period of Enlightenment that followed. This was a time when Arab style universities were built throughout the continent, when history was taught on sound bases and when critical thought was given roots in those lands where critical thought never flourished before.

The injection of Arab modernity into the European continent resulted, among other things, in the realization that the Jews could not have built the pyramids because no Jew or impersonator set foot onto the land of Egypt until a thousand and five hundred years after the building of the last pyramid. Thus, it was the simple common sense of the Arabs replacing the muddled thinking of the Jews that saved Europe from the darkness of the self-serving ignorance which the rabbis and their sidekicks were sprinkling throughout Europe. Incidentally, sprinkling darkness and ignorance is how those characters "educate" the public they encounter everywhere they go.

And true to their form, when unmasked in one location, those who impersonate the Jews pop up in another location, something they are programmed to do relentlessly and do without fail. They pop up where people are still innocent and gullible, and where the rabbis and the sidekicks can play a new pyramid scheme without being detected at least for a while. Right now they have found a fertile ground in America where they brought with them not the ten commandments of Moses but the Ten Commandments of Charlton Heston. And that is where they pulled a pyramid scheme of the financial kind, and almost wrecked the republic and wrecked the world with it.

Out there in California near Hollywood, Michael Milken was the first to play such a scheme on a large scale during the decades of the Nineteen Seventies and Nineteen Eighties. He invented the Salami method of stuffing toxic commercial papers into what came to be known as junk bonds, and he sold slices of the poison to the retail crowd. He did so using a network of wholesalers who participated in the scheme which he structured in the same way that a pyramid scheme is usually structured. Thus, Milken was able to reach out to more victims at the base of the pyramid than anyone before and he ensnared them like a predator ensnares his prey.

But this was just the beginning. It was a dry run for the worldwide securitization of toxic mortgages that was yet to come and where the base of the pyramid was extended to engulf the entire planet. The snare was a mortgage that had a rising interest rate, and the prey were the hapless individuals who bought not the American dream of owning a home but the pipe dream that the value of the home will keep on rising for ever.

But there was more to come because the reach of the snare went beyond all of that. It caught the buyers of the securities at the base of the pyramid all around the world, those who believed that America’s model for doing business was a model based on honesty and a sense of decency.

Alas, those buyers were deceived precisely because the scheme has used America’s good name to package a toxic product. In the same cavalier way that the good name was used on the political stage to immolate the republic for the glory of Israel, the name was used in the financial marketplaces of the world to fatten the wallets of the friends of Israel. And so America was transformed overnight from a triple A financial superpower to the status of a junk republic.

We stand at this juncture today and the question is this: Can America recover from her nightmare? The answer is: Yes, she can but there is a lot of work to be done before she gets there. In the same way that Arab help was utilized to save Europe from the Dark Ages of the self-serving rabbinical ignorance, so can America recover with the help of the same Arabs who remain today as generous as they ever were.

After all, America prides herself on the fact that she adopted a form of capitalism that is based on the free market system, one that was and still is the pride and glory of the Arabs since the days when they opened the trade routes between East and West. The Arabs traveled back and forth on these routes and took their commerce to every corner of the known world thus creating new wealth in places where wealth was scarce or non-existent.

Consequently, the onus to take the initiative now rests on the shoulders of those Americans who are serious about finding a solution to their problems. They need to create a sea change at home by recognizing that at the root of their troubles lies the adoption of the Talmudic style distortion of reality and the Talmudic form of authoritarian rule practiced by those who pretend to be descendants of the ancient Jews.

It was this Talmudic culture that made it possible for the rabbis to maintain a tight grip on their flock throughout the centuries. And it was this style of rule that gave them the initial success they enjoyed every time they pulled a pyramid scheme anywhere they went. However, such schemes were defeated each and every time by the best disinfectant of all, the truth and the honesty that were used as medicine. And it is this disinfectant that the concerned Americans must now use to free themselves from the demonic hold that the Jewish lobby has on their country.

Since everything that the impersonators and the friends of Israel did was done with the Arabs in their crosshairs, the truth must be told about the role that the infamous lobby has played to drive the wedge between the Arabs and the Americans. The holders of high office who participated in the spread of anti-Arab hatred must now come forward to tell how they were approached by the Jewish lobby, and what they were asked to say and do that gored America on the altar of anti-Arab hatred to make Israel look more glorious than it is.

A noble act by the holders of high office in America will make it difficult for the Jewish lobby to go after the new Congress and the new Administration which, if it happens again, will repeat the same tragedy all over again. Enough is enough must be the battle cry of the new breed of American officials; and let the sea change flow from there.

The next order of business should concern something I wrote in a book circa the early Nineteen Nineties at a time when the world was negotiating to form the World Trade Organization. Like everything I wrote, however, the publication of the book was blocked by the notorious Jewish Establishment because they realized that to let someone like me connect with the public at large would make it harder for the Jewish lobby to prey on the gullible and the innocent in the North American circles of power. So they used the savage Talmudic dagger to savagely stab democracy in the heart, something they are programmed to do with religious zeal.

What I had in the book was the recognition that good commerce is based not only on trust and credibility, though they are necessary ingredients, but also on the sense that what you negotiate is beneficial to all parties concerned. Consequently, everyone must be made to feel comfortable with the agreements that were being hammered.

To that end, I proposed that every country be given the right to protect up to a negotiated percentage what it will deem to be a strategic industry if and when this became necessary. For example, had the idea been adopted then, America would be in a position today to declare that energy had become a strategic industry and thus take measures to protect all related industries so as to attain a full or partial self sufficiency in energy without inviting retaliation from the other countries.

The philosophy behind the suggestion was to do away with the need to demagogue the issues such as the constant painting of those who have the energy as demons out to hurt America. This Talmudic approach of hurtling Yiddish style insults at those who are blessed with an abundance of the resource did nothing to bring self sufficiency to America in thirty years and will do nothing in thirty more years. My way would be a better way.

What is poignant about this chapter in the history of America is that the purveyors of hate and distortion were the ones who benefited the most from speculating about oil and from trading with the enemies of America. All were not caught red handed like was Marc Rich, thus they did not have to flee the country or ask for a pardon from a President on his way out of the White House, but they fattened their wallets just the same while those of their ilk were sprinkling the anti-Arab venom as if the Arabs were the ones who did something wrong.

The time has come to try another approach. So how about being nice to the Arabs for a change and watch what will flow from there. You will be pleasantly surprised, America.

Fudging The Economic Numbers

There has been talk lately concerning the possibility that the Chinese may be fudging their economic numbers. Some people refuse to believe that China has been growing at 10% or so a year and they question the veracity of the statistics put out by the Chinese with regard to their Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Other people believe the statistics are correct but they cannot explain some of the numbers they see.

So the question remains: Does China fudge the economic figures, yes or no? The simple answer is both yes and no but the explanation is more complicated than that. To make it easy for me to write this piece and for you to read it, I ask that you imagine a hypothetical case where I shall use round figures to illustrate my points rather than delve into the actual numbers which are lengthy and cumbersome.

Imagine a country with a population of a million people. These are mostly subsistence farmers and therefore they have a primitive economy. Their GDP barely reaches 200 million dollars which means that their per capita income is 200 dollars a year.

They begin to industrialize and they manage to expand their economy at an average real growth rate of 5% a year over the following 50 years. To see what this does to the economy, you grab your calculator and raise the number 1.05 to the power of 50. You obtain the answer 11.47 which means that the 200 million GDP will grow 11.47 times to the approximate value of 2.3 billion dollars over the period. Inflation is excluded from this calculation.

If we assume that the population of the country grows by 1.5% a year, it will grow to 2.1 million people over the 50 years. In this case, the per capita income will go in real terms from 200 dollars a year to 1,095 dollars. Now, let us assume that inflation will grow by an average 3% a year. In this case the 1,095 dollar per capita income of the base year will grow to about 4,800 dollars at the prices that will prevail 50 years hence.

Now let us get realistic. We live today in the year 2008, and fifty years ago was the year 1958. Can you point to an agrarian society that began to industrialize in 1958 which grew at an average 5% a year and is today stuck with a per capita income of only 4,800 dollars? No you cannot point to such a society because there isn’t one.

The reality is that the nations of Asia and Southern Europe which started to industrialize at about that time and scored a consistent rate of growth approaching 5% a year do enjoy a per capita income of no less than 28,800 dollars today. This is 6 times the 4,800 dollars calculated above.

Does this mean those nations grew at 6 times 5% a year? No it does not mean that because what we are dealing with is exponential mathematics. When you do the calculations, you find that a growth rate of only 8.83 % over 50 years will result in a per capita income that is 6 times higher than would the 5% rate of growth. But why did the nations in Asia and Southern Europe indicate a 5% rate of growth rather than 8.83%?

The answer is that they did not spend much time thinking about these matters whereas the Chinese seem to have asked the right questions and found the right answers. Consequently, instead of doing what the other nations did which is to reconcile the value of their GDP with the reality on the ground once every 10 years or so, they did the reconciliation on a yearly basis by showing a higher rate of growth than the numbers seem to indicate. And the question now is this: Why is there a discrepancy between the real rate of growth and the apparent rate?

To answer this question we imagine another situation. A teenager doing odd jobs in rural China earns 2 dollars a day. He migrates to America where he washes dishes in a restaurant and earns 40 dollars a day. He is the same boy with the same level of education and the same skills; so why is he now earning 20 times as much as before?

The simple answer is that he now lives in a country where the per capita income is 20 times that of China. But the comprehensive answer is that he earns 20 times as much because he needs this much money to feed and clothes himself in America, something he could do in rural China with only 2 dollars a day.

This leads to the notion that when China will have fully industrialized and when all of its interior will come to resemble the United States, a boy anywhere in that country with no education and no skill will have to earn 20 times as much as today just to feed and clothes himself.

This is due to something I call the complexity factor. For example, the amount of wheat that goes into making a loaf of bread can be purchased at the farm level in America or in China for only 5 cents. This is how much it will cost to make a loaf of bread in a country where most of the population lives on the farm or near it. But when you buy that same loaf in a country that is fully industrialized, you will pay something like a dollar or 20 times as much.

This is because in a modern industrial nation the wheat will be transported from the farm to the flour mill, from there to the bakery and from there to the supermarket. You will buy the bread there and pay for the flour, the wrapping, the transportation, the fuel, the interest on money borrowed by the various parties, the overhead and so on and so forth. This is the complexity of modern industrial life that adds to the price of everything, every step of the way. I call this the complexity gap between the rural and the industrial.

We may therefore conclude that as modernity sprawls into the primitive interior of China from the modern coastal areas, the gap between the levels of complexity in the two regions will steadily shrink until it disappears completely. In fact, the gap between China as a whole and America has now shrunk to a 20 fold gap from the 40 fold gap that it used to be.

Thus, when we do calculations, the rate of growth we assign to a country that is industrializing must incorporate two components. A component that is the apparent rate of growth which is normally in the range of 5%. And a component that would range from negligible to perhaps as much as 4% and that will reflect the complexity gap.

Failing this, there will have to be a periodic adjustment to the GDP in order to boost it by something like 30% or 50% every decade or so to reconcile the numbers. In fact, this is being done now to the emerging economies. It was done to the Thai, Turkish and Ukrainian economies not long ago and it will soon be done to the Egyptian and Moroccan economies because the stated GDPs of these countries are far below their real values.

Now, the beauty about mathematics is that there is always a way to double check your answers. So let us ask the question: At what rate must a country grow in real terms to boost the per capita income of its citizens by 40 fold in 50 years? To answer the question you grab your calculator and take the 50 th root of the number 40. This gives the approximate answer of 1.0766. It means that each year, the per capita income must grow by that much. To turn this into a percentage value, you deduct 1 and multiply the remainder by 100. You get the result 7.66%.
If you do not have the root function in your calculator but have the log function, you take the log of 40, divide it by 50 and then take the antilog of the result. You get the same answer as before and then do the percentage transformation.

Add to this percentage the rate of growth in the population and you come close to the 10% rate of GDP growth that China is consistently showing. You conclude that the other emerging nations are underestimating their own rates of growth because in reality they should be closer to the Chinese rate than they are willing to indicate.

Finally, there are a number of other ways to estimate the GDP, the rate of growth and the per capita income of a country. When you check them out, they all confirm that the emerging nations score higher values than those countries are willing to report, and that China’s figures are closer to the real values.

Thus, if the question is: Do the emerging economies fudge their economic numbers? The answer is yes they do but they do it on the low side. As for the Chinese, the answer is no, they do not fudge because the figures they publish are close to the real thing. But yes, they do fudge if you look at the technical definition of what those figures are supposed to represent.

That Invisible Hand Has A Finger

Adam Smith who wrote a book called the Wealth Of Nations said that when an individual adds to his wealth, the nation is better off because the extra wealth that is created by the individual is added to the wealth of the whole nation. Someone later echoed this sentiment when he said something to the effect that what was good for General Motors was good for America. And the Chinese government is now saying that it is glorious for the whole nation when the individuals in it seek to get rich.

Adam Smith explained how this works. He said that things tend to even out in a community because the activities carried out by the individuals in it spread out to the entire community as if an invisible hand was going around doing the good work. Like it or not, history has proved these ideas to be sound because the nations that adopted them prospered while those that rejected them lagged behind both economically and in a few other ways.

But what is now becoming apparent is that the invisible hand has a finger and that finger is giving us a collective pain in the ass. The new reality is that the hand which at first seemed to stroke us with loving care has migrated to the wrong places, and the finger that used to adorn it has transformed into a hard shaft. So, how did it all happen without notice?

It happened because a law whose existence was never envisaged by Adam Smith began to make itself felt. It is Murphy’s Law which says that if something can go wrong it will go wrong. And that dreaded law hit the otherwise good work of the invisible hand despite the existence of an oversight mechanism that was supposed to oversee things and make sure nothing of the sort ever happened.

The trouble with the invisible hand is that it is invisible thus no direct detection of the way it works is ever possible. Rather, the work is detected by the influence that the hand exerts on the surroundings. This situation has led to some serious consequences which translated into the financial crisis the World is now experiencing. To better visualize this situation, I make the following analogy with a well known mechanical phenomenon.

The systems of an airplane can have one or two weaknesses leading to one or two benign failures without crashing the plane. However, what may happen at times is that a number of small failures can occur, apparently all at the same time, and result in the crash of the plane. Such development was given the name catastrophic failure.

Sometimes, the technicians and engineers in charge of safety will dismiss the signs that point to a weakness here or a weakness there in the hope that a catastrophic failure will not occur. But if the signs are ignored for too long, the odds will pile up against the systems and the catastrophe will occur as predicted by Murphy’s Law.

What happens will not be an act of God but a cascade of failures in the sense that one small thing will give way causing another small thing to give way and so on in sequence. And it will be the cumulative effect of the small failures, seemingly all happening at the same time as if by coincidence, that will ultimately cause the crash.

Something analogous to this happened to the financial crisis that started in the USA and spread to the rest of the World. Many people knew of the deficiencies in the system and several commentators warned about them well in advance of the crash. But the people in charge were lulled into rejecting the warnings with the promise that the American economy was resilient enough to withstand the strain; or they were intimidated into keeping their mouth shut under the threat of being denounced as unpatriotic if they don’t.

It now looks like the whole thing was a conspiracy of silence of some sort. Those who orchestrated it were the ones who engineered the status quo and fought to maintain it. They were the Neocons and their allies, the organized friends of Israel who advanced the argument that America can and should go it alone in the World. They repeated the refrain that America was powerful enough to need no one but a solitary ally, that entity they call Israel which they believe was destined to achieve glory by the grace and the will of the Almighty.

Practicing the Yiddish culture of insulting everyone that disagrees with them, that group of people succeeded in isolating the government of America from the rest of the World and from the American people themselves. This done, they methodically went about monopolizing the powers of governance and those of the media as if no one but their kind counted for something in what was quickly becoming a godforsaken place.

And when they secured all the powers in their hand, they engaged in a few more hair-raising activities. They took control of the means of information and used that to demagogue the nations they wished to antagonize. In this way, they managed to drive a wedge between America and those countries, most of whom had no dispute with America or were considered a friend. And when the Neocons and their allies succeeded in this task, they started to beat the drums of war and thus got America to attack some of those countries.

All the while the world watched the unfolding drama and many people shook their heads in dismay. They did so because they understood the consequences that will flow from the adoption of such behavior on the World stage. They knew all too well that the marketplace functions properly only when everybody has the correct information, and what they were witnessing gave them a bad feeling about the state of business in America.

When the friends of Israel took control of the flow of information, the dismayed people of the World anticipated that the marketplace of ideas and finance in America was going to be distorted. A few commented that the result will be the improper functioning of both the political and financial systems in that country. In fact, this came to pass as illustrated by the following three examples which are but a sample of a much larger picture.

The first example was that of the late Senator cum oil analyst Howard Metzenbaum who blamed OPEC for every gyration in the price of oil. The result of this sort of talk by him and by his kind was that he and his fellow speculators made the money, the American people paid the high price for the oil, and the Arabs were blamed for the whole thing. And this charade unfolded even as the Arabs were taking measures deemed detrimental to their own interest in order to stabilize the price of oil.

The second example is that of the Senator from New York, Charles Schumer who demagogued an Arab company, Dubai Ports World, following its attempt to buy a number of ports in America thus causing an ordinary, innocent commercial deal to sink before it could see the light of day. Apparently the Senator had a change of heart later on with regard to the Arabs investing in America but that’s another discussion.

The third example is that of an operation they called Abscam which stood for Arab scam. This was a sting operation designed by the friends of Israel and implemented automatically and without a minimum of thought by the FBI. The objective was to observe and perhaps to catch the American lawmakers who would sell their soul to Arab money as some lawmakers were already doing to Jewish money in a practice that came to be known as JewScam.

As for the Abscam operation, it turned out that no Arab ever tried to approach a single American lawmaker to buy his or her soul. No visible or invisible hand stroked anyone appropriately or inappropriately, or for that matter gave someone a pain in the ass. The Arabs, you see, are conditioned by temperament and by culture to leave this disgusting and cowardly habit to the Jewish organizations and to their allies, the friends of that glorious entity they call Israel.

It is now becoming clear that the invisible hand of Adam Smith will work properly only when it is left alone. You can learn to manipulate it and make it do other things but you cannot control it completely because it will remain invisible to you as much as it is to everyone else. What the hand will not escape, however, is Murphy’s law which will strike when you try to manipulate the hand. And when you least expect it, the law will make the hand hurt you as much as you will those you have in your crosshairs.

Finally, you need not have a special vision to see that what did America in this time around was the fact that the finger on that invisible hand speaks English with a Yiddish accent. How do you say ouch in Yiddish?

A Mirror Image That Is Upside Down

You can scarcely read an article these days or watch a television show that does not attempt to explain what led to the financial difficulties the World is facing at the present time. However, the trouble is that the pundits who contribute their two cents worth of blabber do so by explaining the mechanics of the collapse and by calling it the root cause of the problem.

This is like explaining a car crash by saying the car was going too fast on this stretch of the road and the breaks failed to slow it down. The two things caused the car to skid and slam into the tree. What the pundits do not say is that the driver was drunk at the time of the accident, and this was the only reason why the car crashed.

The reality is that there has been a long history behind the situation that the World is facing today, a history that goes beyond the usual histrionics. It is a human story that is more clearly told through the incidents which make up its elements. However, because I never thought that a day will come when I shall be telling these things, I did not keep adequate notes at the time that the incidents occurred.

My memory is failing me when it comes to some details, especially the names of some of people I mention. Nevertheless, I am pulling the stories out of the drawer I call "do-not-tell history" to do the opposite of what I intended. I shall tell what I can reconstruct from a sketchy memory and a record that is less than complete. I shall then draw the corresponding conclusions with the understanding that I may not have everything exactly right.

It happened in the early Nineteen Nineties that a bank which I believe was called "Bank of Credit and Commerce International" failed. It had a small branch in the US and the failure was barely mentioned in the American press. It also happened that the biggest loser in this incident was an Arab prince whose name I do not remember and who lost something like fifteen or twenty million dollars in the deal.

The finger of blame was pointed at a man of Pakistani origin whose name I believe was Agha Hassan Abeidi and who may or may not have been an American citizen or holder of a green card. In any case, the Arab prince was the victim in this mess and nobody disputed this fact. Nobody, that is, except one person who made a big issue out of a small incident.

That person was a CNN broadcaster who, if memory serves me right was doing the weather, the sports or both. One day this man broke out in apoplectic rage at the end of his regular broadcast and he lashed out at the foreigners - meaning all the Arabs not just that one victimized prince - who mess up with the American banking system and thus endanger America’s prosperity and the wellbeing of its people.

That weatherman/sportscaster characterized the incident as the biggest financial scandal to hit America and he derided those with the power in Washington who should be doing something about it - perhaps hang all the Arabs in a public square - but were not doing it. I believe that person was Bill Schneider of CNN but I could be wrong.

Compare this with what is happening to the financial system in America today and ask why it is that no one of the same ilk is turning apoplectic at the "Friends of Israel" who managed in eight short years to ruin the once economic superstar that was America, and turn it into an economic basket case thus endangering not only the people of America but all of humanity.

The answer is simple, those who took control of the American financial system first took control of the media and used it as a stepping stone to get to the political apparatus which gave them full access to the wealth of the nation. From their positions inside the apparatus, they worked on the financial system itself in a quest to turn it into a cash cow that would serve the never satisfied interests of Israel.

Thus, if we want to understand how the history of America’s demise unfolded, we must study a tangled web that is as Byzantine as the story of the sportscaster who used the time allotted to sports and to the weather in order to make commentaries that served the interests of Israel and to beat up on the Arabs. And he did all this without giving the latter the opportunity to defend themselves or to respond to what he was spewing.

History will not be kind to that man or to such characters as Michael Milken, Ivan Boesky, Robert Maxwell, Andrew and Lea Fastow, and all those who milked America and transferred much of the wealth to what they called charitable causes in Israel. They were the who-is-who of two infamous lists, one called the list of those who cheated America, and the other called the list of those who were and may still be friends of Israel.

I shall let history deal with these people in the manner that it usually does and turn my attention to something that history normally forgets. What preoccupies me are the little things that paint a big picture when viewed from the human angle. The following incident tells one such story as eloquently as anything can.

Robert Scully is a Canadian broadcaster who does shows in French and in English. He used to do a show called Scully Rencontre for the French division of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). The French title of the show translates into Scully Meets With.

Sometime before the death of Robert Maxwell, Robert Scully met with him and had a discussion that was carried on Radio Canada which is the name given to the French division of the CBC. A week or two after the airing of the show, letters from viewers commenting on it came to Scully.

This was a time when the notorious Jewish organizations were known to engage in organizing letter writing campaigns promoting their never ending causes. Of all the letters that came to him, Scully read on the air the one that said Robert Maxwell was so excellent in that interview, he demonstrated why Jews must be allowed to take control of and to run the World.

And there goes the whole sordid story as told in a nutshell. Not only was Robert Maxwell defined as someone who would rob his grandmother of her false teeth, so vile was the man, he was also a natural friend of Israel and a character so impressive to the letter writing campaigners that they tried to make us believe he should control the World and all of humanity.

Now we have a true picture of what the CNN man and those like him attempted to accomplish then and still do now. Their cause is not that of reflecting the world through a mirror where the left hand becomes the right hand and vice versa, it is one of reflecting the world in a mirror that turns the whole World upside down.

We also get a clear picture as to what is ruining America and threatening mankind today. By repeating the accusation that a criticism directed against a Jewish organization or against Israel is a mutated form of anti-Semitism, the self-styled Jewish organizations were able to hide behind the suffering of Jews to do the thing that led to that suffering in the first place. Such organizations were the architects of their own demise, and with their deeds paved the way for the pogroms and holocausts of the past.

And to understand why no one of the same ilk or any ilk dared to speak against the friends of Israel, we must understand that by shielding themselves against criticism, these organizations put themselves beyond all checks and all balances. This done, they acquired and then monopolized the powers that the system denied to everyone else, powers they used to obliterate every opposition.

But in a country like America which used to pride itself on its system of checks and balances, a Congress that never strayed too far from a 50-50 vote on any issue yet voted nearly 100% in favor of the Jewish causes began to look like a Congress of prostitutes operating at the bottom of toilet bowl. Still daring to call itself a democracy, the American regime began to lose the esteem of the World and more importantly the esteem of its own people.

Normally, the strategy employed by the Friends of Israel works at the beginning until such time that the people affected respond to the human stories it creates, that is, when the situation hits them where it counts the most, their livelihood. This is happening now and the future does not bode well for the Jews at large. In consequence of this development, a few brave souls began to speak up which, at last, is a hopeful sign in this entire sordid saga.

These souls can use all the encouragement we can give them and we should all rally to their cause.

The Sweet Sound Of Neocon Treachery

A fable by the 17th. Century French poet Jean de Lafontaine titled "The Crow and the Fox" teaches us this lesson: Let it be known that every flatterer lives at the expense of those who listen to him. Thus, if you are a Neocon laboring to milk America for the benefit of Israel, you work to cut off America’s relation with those who refuse to bow to Israel even if they are good for America, and you promote America’s relation with those who suck up to Israel even if they are toxic to America.

You achieve all this by singing the praises of the American leaders, describing them as the perfect democratic things who need no allies except the few that the Neocons will take the trouble to choose for them. Thus, like the fox of Lafontaine who tricked the crow by praising his plumage and got him to drop the cheese in his beak, you trick those leaders into delivering to Israel what they would not deliver to the homeless in their own country, the hungry and the least healthy among their masses.

Regarded as a sucker born with the tendency to accept every sweet lie that the Neocons whisper in your ear, you believe in the fantasy world they shape for you and you live by their rule until one day the world comes crushing down on you and reality hits you in the face. You hate yourself for being this idiotic during all these years and you look for a way out of the hole you got yourself into, the hole in which you labored to milk the people of America for the glory of Israel and her shameless supporters inside America.

Getting hit in the face with reality and waking up from a dream-like fantasy is something that happens on occasion to the most careless of human beings and there is a lesson to be learned here which is not different from that of Lafontaine. What follows is a situation I witnessed long ago so let me tell you about it before I go any further.

Students in their late teens and early twenties like to brag about everything. One student I had in my school eons ago so annoyed his schoolmates when he bragged about being a connoisseur of sound that they asked for my help to test him out. I thought I should not get involved in something like this but was so intrigued by the idea myself that I did not give an outright no for answer. Instead, I asked the students to give me time to think about the matter and this answer of mine had its own consequence.

The students took my reluctance as a hopeful sign and they decided to speed up my decision process by making the student in question participate in his own entrapment. I do not know what they said to him but he came to me a little later on and he initiated a discussion on the difference in sound quality between the technology of solid state and that of the vacuum tube. I agreed with him that the tube was superior to solid state with the caveat that I was not a connoisseur of sound myself. As if on cue the student bragged about being an expert in this field and said he will submit to any sort of test that I or someone else would devise so as to prove his claim once and for all.

I called the group of students that thought of the idea in the first place and asked them to design a test. They did and it was a simple test to carry out in practice. The students took advantage of the fact that the South Koreans were beginning to make themselves known around the world for the home entertainment products they were making and were able to sell at a very low price. Among these products was an expensive looking sound system they sold at a cheap price, one that was given the impressive Anglo-Saxon name of Lloyd.

One student brought a Lloyd to the school while another brought a German model whose name escapes me now. The latter looked less impressive than the first but sold at a higher price. In the absence of the bragging student, the two systems were set up side by side one early morning and were tested back to back. I could not discern the difference in the quality of sound between the pair but some students claimed they did and they designated the German system as the better of the two.

When the student in question arrived at the school, the other students told him nothing about the origin of the two units and played a tape for him on one system and then the other. The student in question chose the Korean Lloyd as having a higher quality of sound.

They blindfolded the braggart and played a number of tapes on one system and then the other, and they asked him to choose between the two. His choices turned out to be random. And then they played a tape on the same unit back to back and asked him to guess which unit sounded better. Not knowing he was tricked, he chose randomly. They removed the blindfold and showed him the result of the test and he could not believe his eyes but was humbled enough by the experience that he began to act with a little more humility than ever before.

Finally, they showed him the purchase bill which indicated both the make and the cheap price of the Lloyd at which point he expressed an unusual fury. It was clear that the fury was directed against himself for believing in his own fantasy and for always paying a high price for the products he purchased when other products of equal quality were selling at a lower price. You see, dear friend, that boy had been his own Neocon for a long time, and when he woke up that day, he saw the world of his imagination crumble around him.

Likewise, the Americans antagonized the Arab people and those who stood by them in the mistaken belief that America will obtain the oil she needs at the price she will dictate. The Neocons and those who came before them had planted this fantasy in the head of the American leaders whom the Neocons had corrupted for the purpose of softening those very same heads. And so, like the crow of Lafontaine, they opened their beak to sing the song of a false democracy they thought was the pride of their system and dropped the most prized of their possessions.

What they dropped was nothing less than the American wellbeing which is sometimes referred to as an American cheese. It was what the forefathers had labored hard to produce and to hand over to the generations that came after them. But when the cheese hit the ground, it was the neo con artists and their Israeli allies who pounced on it and feasted with it to their hearts’ content. And then it became clear by the end of this orgy that nothing was left for the American people, not even a crumb for the leaders who made this whole calamity a possible thing.

From that moment on, things went from bad to worse and America spent all that she possessed in the futile attempt to rob the Arabs of what she could have bought at a fraction of what she spent on the misguided adventure. And while this was happening, as if to scrape the bottom of the barrel, the same crowd that got America into the bottomless pit got busy siphoning off the nation’s credit and all her reserves. Now America is waking up to the reality that the Neocons handed to her in Baghdad and in Lower Manhattan the same bitter dish that the British Empire was handed in Suez - the loss of her great power status.

Someone in America will undoubtedly hate themselves for teaming up with the Neocons as did the bragging student I had in my school and did the British and the French who teamed up with Israel to embark on the Suez adventure. But the ordinary people of America will not want to stop at the simple act of remorse and self hate but will want accountability and will demand to see the head of the culprits not only roll out of a job but roll their way to the jailhouses of the nation.

And as always, when a scandal of this magnitude explodes in America, the culprits will prove to be of the kind that call themselves friends of Israel, and the money will have been channeled not to support some social program or cultural institution as claimed by the Neocons but to cleanse the Palestinian homeland of its Palestinian owners at the hands of a Zionist regime that is as bloodthirsty as this planet has ever witnessed.

Teaching Dogs New Tricks In The Beltway

Everyone these days is talking about changing the culture in the Washington Beltway but, to paraphrase an old saying, can you teach an old dog new tricks? To answer the question we set aside the old dogs for now and look at what goes on in the realm of the young dogs to see if there is a lesson here that would apply to that old dog and all the dogs in the Beltway.

I had a technical school in a previous life where students did theory in class and practice in the lab. The classrooms were furnished with tables and the labs with benches on which sat electronic equipment and some hand tools. It struck me one day that little damage was done to the classroom tables but a great deal was done to the benches in the labs, and I wanted to know why.

After giving the matter some thought I reached the preliminary conclusion that the students do not use tools in the classroom except the pen which would not be effective at damaging the tables. They sit in class no more than one hour at a time which they do under the watchful eyes of the teachers. And they only listen to the lecture and write notes which make little demand on them but keep them busy all the time.

By contrast, the students stay long hours in the lab and they are expected to do mental work to solve the practical problems they encounter. They use metallic tools such as a screwdriver which can be effective at damaging the wooden top of the benches. And they can get frustrated which prompts them to take it on the benches with the tools at hand.

Some students had a favorite place where to sit in the lab but most did not. Those that picked the same place every day did not vandalize it while those that sat anywhere in a random fashion were more prone to vandalize.

One day I caught a student in the act of vandalizing the bench with a screwdriver. I asked him what he was doing and he said the carving on the bench was already there and he only added to what someone did before him. I was stunned by this response and so I called the student to my office. He first expressed indignation that I saw something wrong with what he did but then relented and followed me to the office.

Once there I asked him to explain the reason for his indignation. He said he was not the first to vandalize the bench. Since someone did it before him, he had the right to do it too because I did not reprimand the one who did it first. Never mind that I never knew who the first one was but the fact that someone got away with something gave everyone the right to do the same thing and not be reprimanded.

I asked if there was pleasure in adding to the scar of a bench that was already scarred. He said it was something that relaxed him whenever he expected the test equipment to show one result but showed another. I asked if he would carve a bench that is not already carved. He answered that the first guy who did it had a clean bench to begin with but he carved it anyway, so maybe he would carve a clean bench too.

He then went back to the first question and elaborated. He said when I called him to the office I did so in front of his peers who snickered because he was caught in the act. He explained that this made him feel discriminated against. He spoke like someone who felt victimized. But victimized by what? I asked myself. It could only be one thing, he looked stupid in the eyes of his peers for being caught doing something that someone else was smart enough to get away with.

So I responded to the student with a question: Why would I discriminate against you? I don’t know, he said, I am like everyone else. Correct, I said, you are like everyone else but you are the one I saw vandalize the bench and so I called you to explain. But he kept insisting that because he told me he was not the first to do it, I was supposed to stop here and accept as normal the repeat of an act that went unpunished. I should have expected this to happen and accepted it when it happened.

With all this new information under my belt, I revised my preliminary conclusion as to why the lab benches were vandalized more than the classroom tables, and I added to it the following. School age youngsters are wired to be in a learning mode. Not only do they learn from the teachers and the books but they do from each other as well. It is therefore normal that they succumb to peer pressure, a method by which they learn from each other. And this kind of learning happens even when no deliberate pressure is put on someone. It happens by imitating what is observed.

And so the question to ask became this one: Is it possible to teach young dogs new tricks? And the answer is yes, youngsters learn all the time. Each parent, each principal and each teacher have their own approaches to fulfilling this task and they do more or less a good job, each according to their ability.

As for the old dogs in the Washington Beltway, before we go there, we must first understand something about the learning process and what happens to the knowledge we acquire after we have acquired it.

Learning begins as a mental exercise because we need to concentrate on what we do. To wit, we think when we learn to drive. But after we have completed the learning process, we drive instinctively because the knowledge gets stored somewhere in the brain where it is not necessary to recall it anymore. We must therefore conclude that we are primarily creatures of habit that do not think most of the time but act instinctively.

Our responses to external conditions and stimuli are usually automatic and habitual. Taken together, these responses are called a culture and their purpose in most part is to insure our survival. Thus, the culture in the Washington beltway is a collection of responses that were created and allowed to evolve in the manner that they did for the sole purpose of insuring the survival and re-election of those who hold the power.

So how do we change all that? First, we must recognize that those in the Beltway do not do things in vacuum. They play it up to the voters in their respective constituencies. Thus, if we convince the voters to demand a better culture in the Beltway and reject the bad one, we will go a long way toward changing the status quo. That is, we must reach out to the masses through the use of the mass media and educate them. Those who have the pulpit have access to the media and they have the responsibility to do that.

It is not going to be an easy thing to do because in reality the culture in the Beltway is but a reflection of the culture in the rest of the country. Thus, he who has the pulpit must tell the American people you must change in order to change Washington and get the sort of government you clamor for and say you deserve. But since culture is constantly evolving, those who have the wherewithal to keep it on the right track must be eternally vigilant.

Thus, what should these people tell the American masses at this time? They can tell them to stop talking as if everything good in the World was American and everything bad in America was international. The one thing that hits you in the eye when you try to understand the American culture is that these people cannot see something good happening anywhere in the World without uttering the remark that someone must be following the American model. And they cannot see something bad happening in America without speaking about it as if it were an international problem spilling into America.

Consequently, it is said that the emerging countries are doing well at this time because they are following the American model, and America is suffering a mortgage meltdown at this time because this is an international problem which is spilling into America. You see, America is so good everyone wants to invest in it, and this is what caused the cash bubble and the eventual meltdown of the credit institutions. See how bad those foreigners are to us when we are so good to them!

Not only is the American culture so skewed in some areas as to be off the mark, it also turns reality on its head. For example, the view in America is that the people in the Middle East suffer a pathology called the conspiracy theory when, in reality, all they do is see corruption in their own backyard and little of it outside their borders. The joke in Egypt is that when a gas station sells gas at 91 piasters a liter and another sells it at 92, the second is corrupt because it gouges the public. If both stations sell at the same price, they are both corrupt because they fix the price. Thus if you own a gas station in Egypt you cannot win but at least the people there do not blame their problems on foreigners, they look at themselves and apply local solutions.

By contrast, the Americans who blame foreigners for their problems look for a solution that will "kick asses." In so doing, they spend more money, time and effort applying false solutions to problems that do not exist and thus create the problems and make them worse. Like the students who add to the carving of a bench because the carving is there, these people get themselves into a hole and keep digging in the belief that this will relax them.

Dershowitz Crucifies New Prince Of Peace

Alan Dershowitz published an article the other day under the title: "Dems Diss Jimmy Carter" He says the former President was supposed to address the Democratic convention but was disinvited in part because of pressure brought to bear on the Democratic Party by guess who. You guessed it, Alan Dershowitz himself.

The author also mentions a book he wrote under a subtitle that reads in part: "Jimmy Carter … Who Stand[s] In The Way of Peace." Dershowitz is here talking about the same American President who brokered a peace deal between Egypt and Israel which made possible the peace deal between Jordan and Israel which paved the way for the Arab League’s offer to recognize Israel and normalize all Arab relations with her which encouraged the start of the peace negotiations between Syria and Israel. An impressive chain of events by any measure.

When someone does something as meaningful as did Jimmy Carter and you accuse him of the exact opposite, the word used to describe your accusation is crucifixion. There is no doubt that Jimmy Carter has been the American Prince of Peace who worked diligently to solve the problems of the Middle East and thus secured the survival of the state of Israel like no one else did before him or after him. But look what Dershowitz is doing; he is crucifying the man as if to enforce the stereotypical view that Jews crucify all those who bring peace to them the way they crucified Jesus Christ.

How can such action be explained? The secret to understanding the mentality behind it all lies in the understanding of the Talmud. This is a book that uses the Old Jewish Testament as a base upon which to construct a supremacist philosophy. And it is becoming increasingly apparent that this philosophy has been the single most important inspiration behind all the supremacist philosophies that came and plagued mankind since the Second Century AD.

Before we delve deeper into this subject, let us look at the Dershowitz article again. This is what the author says: "I must admit … I played a role … to disinvite Carter. I made it clear that I could not support a party that honored … Carter." What Dershowitz is really saying here is this: Look how powerful and how influential I am, so admire me.

But why is he powerful and influential? Well, it is that Jews are powerful and influential, and he happens to be a Jew. In fact, before he talked about himself, Dershowitz had this to say in the paragraph just above: "Perhaps the Democrats learned … from the Republican[s]. [Pat] Buchanan’s speech … may well have contributed to their electoral defeat. Had Jimmy Carter been allowed to speak … the impact on voters might have been considerable."

What Dershowitz says here is that the defeat of Bush 41 by Bill Clinton in 1992 was due to the influence that Jews exerted on the American people and their institutions. But this is not the first time that a Jew has attributed that same defeat to a stand taken by the former President. I discussed this point when I mentioned Tom Friedman in a book whose publication was blocked by none other than the Establishment to which Alan Dershowitz and Tom Friedman, belong. Here is the relevant excerpt.

[Tom Friedman offered Bush 43 an advice that was tied to a reward and a threat. It happened a few days after the tragedy of September 11, 2001 when Friedman went to Israel and stood in front of the Jim Lehrer News Hour camera and told the President he should attack Iraq, not Afghanistan. He warned that if the President did not attack Iraq, he will be defeated in the next election the same way that his father (Bush 41) was defeated for not going all the way to Baghdad during the first Gulf war.]

And so we have it that George Bush 41 was defeated in 1992 by Bill Clinton because he did not go all the way to Baghdad according to Tom Friedman and because Pat Buchanan was allowed to speak at the Republican convention according to Alan Dershowitz.

This is a pattern that is not unique to these two characters; it is common to all Jewish authors of their ilk. But is this a conspiracy? Yes it is because it is a culture and in some sense a culture is a conspiracy. You would not have a culture if you did not have a number of people come together and agree to follow a set of self-serving principles, and this happens to be the way that conspiracy is loosely defined. Thus it is important to ask: How did this culture come to be? And what is the history behind it?

It was in the Second Century AD that a number of self proclaimed leaders who insisted they were rabbis of the Jewish faith got together and invented a movement they called Rabbinical Judaism. They fiddled with the ideas in the Old Testament and then stuffed their newly minted concoctions into a book they called the Talmud with the view to accomplish two things: First, they sought to rebuild the World so as to counter the Christian movement which was beginning to attract followers in droves. Second, they wished to leave a record instructing their followers how to go about realizing the dream they created for their movement.

To this end, every entry made by those leaders and by their successors in the Talmud aims at enforcing the following set of concepts: If you are a part of our movement consider yourself chosen by God to control the World and to fix it so as to make it safe for you and for me. Because you are so chosen, you can never be wrong in what you say or do as long as the aim is to help the cause of the movement. Cheat, mislead, deceive, distort, double-cross, double-deal, betray, make false pretenses, false presentations, have it both ways, confuse the issues and so on and so forth from here to eternity – and you will only be blessed by the Almighty. In fact, the much ballyhooed Protocol of the Elders of Zion is but a pale imitation of the more sophisticated and much more subtle Talmud.

The result has been that the truth in the hands of the Talmudists who earnestly embrace the teachings of their book is like silly putty in the hands of a child. These people give the truth any shape and any form they want when they want it to suit their current purpose. Thus, when it suited Friedman to say that Bush 41 was defeated because he did not go to Baghdad, this became the official history of that event as it was tailor-made for a specific moment. And when it suited Dershowitz to say that Bush was defeated because the Republican convention allowed Pat Buchanan to speak, this became the official history of that same event as it was tailor-made for a different moment.

But when history and the truth are distorted to this degree, reality in the eyes of the agents of distortion becomes confused with their own fantasies. Thus, to be a Talmudist or to be an innocent follower who goes along not knowing what the movement is about, is to live in a fantasy World that ultimately leads to a tragedy such as a pogrom or a holocaust. This is a law of nature that never failed to assert itself century after century almost everywhere on this Planet.

And this accounts for the fact that even though Judaism recruited from all over the World, very few people joined the wacko movement of the Talmudists whose numbers have remained small. By contrast, the other religions recruited mostly from a more restricted pool of local sources yet they managed to attract considerably more followers.

Being consummate shape shifters, the Talmudists have presented their movement as just about anything you can imagine depending on where, when and to whom they made the presentation. But when all was said and done, they proved to have only a limited number of cards to play with. At the top of these cards was the sense of nationalism which manifested itself in Germany at the beginning of the Twentieth Century and led to the mother of holocausts for the Jews and for a number of other people.

That same card is being played in America today but because the word nationalism has become a bad word in the English language, it was replaced by a synonym, and the new word is patriotism. Add to this the ability to confuse the issues that the Talmudists have developed such as when they confuse America’s interest with that of Israel, and you will understand how it was possible for these people to get away with the insinuation that Bush 41 was not patriotic when he refused to go all the way to Baghdad. And to get away with the insinuation that Jimmy Carter may not be patriotic because he refused to stand by Israel despite the crimes she committed even if the former President did not mention the most horrible of those crimes and he deliberately avoided saying negative things about Israel.

What Alan Dershowitz does not realize is that by calling for the crucifixion of the new Prince of Peace, he is signaling that we are at the end of a cycle, therefore at a crossroad. That is, the time has come for someone to define what the legitimate aspirations of the Jews are and to negotiate in good faith or the World will witness another tragedy where we shall all suffer and the Jews shall pay the highest of all prices.

Dershowitz is not the man to negotiate for the Jews and neither is Friedman. Let’s leave out the latter and concentrate on Dershowitz. Even a cursory look at his article shows he means to glorify himself and to highlight the influence he has in the corridors of power. Yet, strewn all over the article are references to anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism and anti-Israeli sentiments as if an attack on any of those were an attack on him personally. This means he defines himself by how he defines a Jew, a Zionists or an Israeli, and it shows he is confused enough to believe in his own lies. This disqualifies him from negotiating on anyone’s behalf yet he goes around behaving as if he were the chief negotiator for all the Jews and for Israel.

Also, those who know something about the man know he does not tolerate ideas that contradict his own. Couple this with the fact that even though he is merely an observer who never formally studied the Holocaust and never suffered it, he believes he is qualified to tell what happened during that chapter of history more than does Professor Norman Finkelstein who is the son of Holocaust survivors and who made the history of the Holocaust the subject of his lifelong study and teachings. Yet here too, Dershowitz has claimed he was instrumental in denying Finklestein the tenure that was owed to him where he taught and where he was deemed to be an excellent professor.

Thus, even though Dershowitz and his colleagues in the Talmudic Establishment never shy away from taking credit for the corrosive and toxic influence they exert on the public and the institutions of America, something they achieve by hook, by crook and by blackmail, they turn reality upside down when they claim that their opponents are dangerous to the principles of Democracy as he does in his latest piece where he writes:

[It is Jimmy Carter who has tried to skew the marketplace of ideas by refusing to debate. So let Jimmy Carter speak…But let others who disagree with him be invited to speak…That is debate, not the kind of one-sided propaganda that Carter insists on. So I renew my challenge to President Carter: Join the marketplace of ideas. Debate me.]

What Dershowitz is saying here is this: Carter was not fit to speak at the Democratic convention even though it is long been traditional for living ex-presidents to be invited to address their party’s quadrennial convention. I declared him unfit and had him disinvited but he can debate me if he wants because this is Democracy Talmudic style. I was not invited to speak at the convention therefore Carter could not speak in that venue either even if the subjects discussed were American subjects and not Israeli. Understand this all of you out there; either you are for Israel or you are against her. And if you are against her you are not fit to speak on any subject - American, Jewish or otherwise. And if you try to speak without my permission, your fate will be the ruin of your life if not worse.

Well folks, this is a supremacist mentality that is begging for the return of the Holocaust. Dershowitz and those like him are not only crucifying every Prince of Peace that tries to bring peace to them, they are nailing to the cross every hand such as America’s hand that feeds them and feeds Israel. And in the process, they are also nailing to the cross every Jew that says: Enough of this madness, I am not going to be a part of this insanity anymore just because I am a Jew and these most pathological of egomaniacs pretend to be Jews with the right to speak for me and for my loved ones. I am through with them.

We need more people such as these to come out of hiding and to speak up because we cannot, as a species, let this tragedy play itself fully one more time.
