ISLAMIC TERROR - AMERICAN TREASON & WHO MAY HAVE CREATED ISIS

                                                by Hugh Murray

Steve Nelson (Stjepan Mesaros), a native of Croatia had come to the US as a teen and joined the Communist Party (CPUSA) in the 1920s.  He fought in the Spanish Civil War against the Fascists and returned to America.  He also came under federal surveillance during WWII.  Nelson was then a leader of the American Communist Party on the west coast with influence in left-wing labor unions.  During war, Americans endure decreased civil liberties, and the federal government had rounded up and interned Japanese nationals and American citizens of Japanese heritage; the government also rounded up and interned German and Italian nationals too.  Nelson was not interned, but his home in Oakland, California, was bugged.

          On 10 April 1943 Nelson received a visitor, Vasily Zarubin, an employee of the Soviet Embassy, who gave Nelson money.  Zarubin explained he wanted Nelson to place “reliable” workers in certain jobs that the Soviets deemed important.  Apparently, until hearing the recordings, the FBI had no knowledge of the Manhattan Project – the American effort to create an atomic bomb.  The Soviet employee was telling the American Communist to place Communist spies in sensitive positions to relay information about American progress in developing the bomb.

          When FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover, became aware of the attempt by a Soviet Embassy official to use the American Communist Party to create a spy network, Hoover acted.  On 7 May 1943 Hoover wrote the White House.  He wrote to Harry Hopkins, who was then considered the chief advisor to Pres. Franklin Roosevelt, especially on Soviet affairs.  Hopkins was so important, he literally lived in the White House and was sometimes called Roosevelt’s Co-President.  Hopkins, alerted by Hoover to such important information, also acted quickly.  Whether Hopkins informed Roosevelt, is still a question.  But Hopkins jumped to insure that nothing like this would occur again.  Hopkins contacted the Soviet Embassy, telling them about the bugging incident, warning them that the FBI was on to them, and urging that they be more careful in the future!

          Hollywood still produces films like “Trumbo,”(2015)  showing the persecution of an excellent screenwriter who was blacklisted for standing up for his political beliefs.  Author Diane West, in her fascinating American Betrayal, quotes Dalton Trumbo in an article published in 1946 in the Communist Daily Worker, in which Trumbo  concedes that the Hollywood “progressives” could not always make the films they wanted, but they certainly could prevent the anti-Communist films from ever being produced.(West, pp. 88,92) Trumbo was boasting that he was one of those who could veto films and blacklist those who might defame the  workers’ paradise led by Joseph Stalin.

          Unfortunately, it is not only Hollywood that distorts that time period.  The academedia complex assure us that the McCarthy era was one of paranoia, persecution, and the destruction of civil liberties and freedom in the US.  Was it all paranoia?  Why was Steve Nelson taking the money from Soviet Embassy official Zarubin?  Why did the White House try to protect the Soviet spies?

          .  In January 2012 Russian leader Vladimir Putin in a public address praised the Western scientists who provided atomic secrets to the Soviets so that the Communist regime could develop its own nuclear bombs.  Putin emphasized that the Soviets were provided “suitcases” filled with material; “suitcases full” he stressed.  Americans spying on behalf of the Soviets was not paranoia; it was a reality.  And the consequence of that spying aided Stalin to develop nuclear weapons faster, and probably helped in other areas of military advance.

          Soviet coded messages were sent from the US to the USSR, and the American Army began to keep records of these.  Eventually, the “Venona files” would make headlines, and confirm the treason of several prominent figures.  However, even now, only some 10%  of the Venona files and been decoded.  Soviet espionage against the US was real and much more extensive than people realize.  But why should they realize it?  Hollywood ignores it to portray a hard-core Stalinist as a man persecuted for free speech.  Academics are no better.  Most are liberal or “progressive,” and even if they admit the Soviet was an enemy to American interests, they dismiss the influence of the American Communist Party and of any spies for the Soviets.  Putin did not dismiss those who passed along information to the Soviets – Putin publicly thanked them.  Americans were not paranoid during the McCarthy era.  There was treason in the American government, “a conspiracy so vast” as Sen. McCarthy analyzed it.  Most Americans to this day are unaware of the extent of Communist penetration of the American government and its consequences.  And the consequences may not have been merely atomic.  When during the Cold War, Republicans asked “Who lost China?” it was not such a foolish question.  When Japan surrendered in 1945, war in China continued, now between Nationalists under Chiang Kai-shek and Communists under Mao Zedong.  Some in the US State Dept. demanded that Chiang form a coalition government with Mao.  Chiang had once done so, and it had proved disastrous, so he was determined not to become ensnared again in a coalition with the Communists.  While the Soviets began to supply Mao, sometimes with booty from the defeated Japanese, efforts by the Americans to supply Chiang with weapons and money were either continually delayed, or sabotaged.  Were there members of the American State Dept. who favored Mao over Chiang; Communism over alternatives?  Were they responsible for the failure of supplies to reach Chiang?

          In early morning hours of 12 June 2016 American-born Omar Mateen entered a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, and proceeded to shoot and kill at least 49 people who, till then, had been enjoying a night out.  Omar was not shy about his motives – during the massacre he phoned 911 to announce his allegiance to the Islamic State.  He also praised Allah and declared that he was murdering because he wanted the US to “stop bombing my country.”  (Wikipedia interpreted this survivor’s memory as referring to Mateen’s allegiance to the Islamic State, whereas James Bradley on the left-wing counterpunch.org viewed it as referring to Afghanistan, home of Mateen’s parents.  Either way, Mateen did not identify his country as the United States.)   Some days later, the national Attorney General, Loretta Lynch told reporters that the Justice Department would not release the full transcripts of those 911 calls.  Any mention of the Islamic State would be redacted, and Allah was now written as God.  Apparently, one was not to presume that Omar was a Muslim!  Erase all such references, by US Govt. decree (for our own good, of course).  Even before Atty Gen Lynch attempted to impose her politically correct views on the 911 tapes, pc had already entered the fray.  I think the very day after the shooting; an FBI representative came to Orlando to provide a report.  Most of it seemed factual.  But before closing, the FBI spokesman stressed to the TV audience that Islam is a religion of peace.  Thus, PC had infected the FBI even before FBI Director James Comey announced that no reasonable prosecutor would indict Hillary Clinton for her email abuses.

          Democrats are as unwilling to denounce Islamic terrorism as 1948 Progressives were unwilling to denounce Stalinsim.  How could Democrats handle the Orlando shooting?  Democrats went on a frenzied search for the motive(s) of Omar in murdering so many young people.  It was simply another “hate” crime.  Omar had been depressed, and may have had mental problems.  He may have been secretly gay, and some alleged he had a gay lover.  Omar was bi-polar.  The liberal media were flooded with such stories searching for the real motives behind Omar Mateen’s shooting spree.  But these stories invariably tried to avoid mention of Allah and his allegiance to ISIS.  Many Democrats simply refused to state the mass murderer had anything to do with radical Islamic terrorism.

          Meanwhile, the Democrats in Congress constructed another ploy – it was the fault of guns.  We need stricter gun regulations, more gun laws.  About 100 Democratic members of Congress then planned to obstruct the work of the national House of Representatives by having a sit-in on the floor of the House, while they demanded gun-control laws and sang old civil rights songs.  Congress had already rejected the proposed legislation in Committee, but Democrats vowed to continue their tactics until their minority proposals were passed into law by the majority.  They were offended when one Republican Representative shouted at them, that the issue is Islamic terrorism.  The Democrats also forget that the most deadly act of terrorism on American soil, in which over 3,000 people were killed, was performed without a gun being used - by the terrorists who brought down the World Trade Center in New York and part of the Pentagon in Washington.

          Moreover, how could Orlando possibly be about Islamic terrorism?  Omar Mateen was born in the USA.  In the summer of 1968 a dazed Democrat emerged from a hotel in California, nearly in tears.  The man was bewildered, incomprehensible.  “How could he say that?” he asked the TV reporter.  The gentleman had left the scene where Sirhan Sirhan had just assassinated Democratic Sen. Robert Kennedy (who had just won the California Democratic Presidential primary).  The gentleman quoted Sirhan as saying, “I did it for my country.”  “How could he say that?  How could he believe that?”  The gentleman clearly did not understand, for the answer is simple.  Sirhan was Palestinian.  A Christian Palestinian, but Palestinian.  His country was not the US.  He killed Kennedy for what he thought would be the best interest of Palestine.

          When Omar Mateen announced he had killed many people for his country, he had identified his country as the Islamic State.  Mateen may have been born in the US, but he did not consider himself an American.  His concerns were Allah and pledging allegiance to ISIS.  Mateen was killing Americans while simultaneously pledging allegiance to the Islamic State.  And the American Attorney General tried to prevent us from knowing that!  Just as Harry Hopkins sought to obstruct the FBI in 1943 and prevent it from doing its job of protecting American citizens and American atomic secrets from Soviet spies, there now seems to be another group – inside the US Govt. – intent on preventing any exposure of Islamic terrorism and its supporters.

          The Muslim Brotherhood (hereafter MB) was founded in Egypt in 1928 as a movement to liberate the Muslim world from the infidels.  It was a nationalist movement, and anti-colonial movement, and one mixed with religion (like many other nationalist movements, as in Ireland, Poland, the Balkans, etc.)  The founder, Hassan al-Banna was a 22-year-old teacher, who grew to admire Hitler, wrote to him, and was encouraged by him.  The MB grew in the 1930s as did its hostility to Jews and Zionism.  During WWII, as Gen. Erwin Rommel’s armies pushed beyond the Libyan border into Egypt (and many Egyptian Jews prepared to purchase tickets for South Africa), the Muslim Brotherhood readied to join the Axis advance when Rommel routed the British. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, expelled from the British mandated lands for his anti-Western views, turned up in Berlin where he met Hitler and began broadcasting to the Middle East on Radio Berlin.  Sometimes his message was simple, “Kill the Jews!”  However, when British Gen.Bernard Montgomery defeated Rommel at el-Alemein in October 1942, that Axis defeat would delay MB dreams for decades.  With Axis defeat, the Mufti was able to escape Allied prosecution with the help of MB politicians.

          Beginning in December 2010 in Tunisia with the series of uprisings collectively called “the Arab Spring,” people in many countries went into the streets to demand change, and young people using social media, often cooperating with Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) , began revolutions in the Arab world.  The first government to fall to the change was Tunisia in northern Africa, and the stirrings spread.  Cairo’s Tahrir Square became a scene of daily protests against the long-term leadership of Hosni Mubarak, whose authoritarian government encouraged tourism from all over the world, and who maintained friendly relations with the US and neighborly relations with Israel.  But Tahrir Square became the center of daily mass gatherings denouncing the government, where there were now huge pictures of Mubarak with a Star of David scratched across his face.  Both Pres. Obama and Sec. of State Hillary showed great enthusiasm for the changes stirring in the Arab Spring   The Western media portrayed the gatherings quite sympathetically.  One night CBS correspondent Lara Logan, an attractive young blond, found herself in the square forcibly separated from her cameramen, her clothing ripped, and she was groped and sexually assaulted.  But the general euphoria overwhelmed reports of such unfortunate urges that managed to surface.  In February 2011 Mubarak fell and free elections would be held.  Democracy would come to Egypt!

          Elections were held, and Mohammed Morsi, the MB candidate won.  Hillary and Obama were proud of their policy that expanded democracy.  With the MB victory, Jewish tourists and businessmen quickly departed.  The Copts, Egypt’s Christians, who comprise some 10% of the population, suddenly found themselves under attack.  Ancient churches were set ablaze by the Muslim majority.  Muslims, expressing their empowered status, began beating Christian men and attacking Christian women.  Some leaders of the new MB regime sought to ally with Palestinians in Gaza against Israel.  All Jews were monkeys, declared some of the new clerics in power.  One prominent Muslim imam urged the government to destroy the pagan relics of old – that is, destroy the pyramids! (When ISIS attained power elsewhere, it destroyed Jonah’s tomb and part of the ancient ruined city of Palmyra.  One should take such talk seriously.)  Happily, this ruthless MB regime was toppled by the army led by Abdel Al-Sisi in 2013.  In response, Obama cut off aid to Egypt’s new military government in Egypt, but Al-Sisi then sought support from Russia’s Putin.  

            Col. Ghadaffi’s Libya had become a leading terrorist nation after he had come to power in 1969  (and he helped subsidize the Black Panthers and the Black Muslims inside the US.)  Ghadaffi’s regime was the likely source for the 1986 bombing of a Berlin club popular with American soldiers, and Ghadaffi was behind the downing of Pan Am flight 103 that killed the plane’s occupants over Lockerbie, Scotland in December 1988.  However, by the 21st^h century Ghadaffi’s government had moderated.  But Obama and Hillary had other plans for Libya, and decided to seek Ghadaffi’s overthrow.  In summer of 2011 Libya joined the Arab revolutionary Spring, and by October 2011, Ghadaffi himself was dead.  Obama and Hillary next set their sights on the dictatorship in Syria of Bashar al-Assad.  It is alleged that Americans were to supply weapons to rebels in Syria through newly liberated Libya.  Indeed, some allege that American Ambassador Christopher Stevens was in Benghazi to facilitate gun-running deals with violent types whom he hoped would help overthrow Syria’s Assad.

            The fall of Ghadaffi left power vacuums and chaos in Libya.  Not all of the rebels were sympathetic to the West.  Working in the eastern city of Benghazi, American Ambassador Stevens was fully aware of the deteriorating situation, and a number of times requested reinforcements for protection.  The requests (to the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton?) were denied.  As the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attack approached, neither Obama nor Hillary sent help.  Four Americans, including our Ambassador, were killed in a prepared attack by Muslim extremists on 9 September 2012.  Then, Sec. Hillary Clinton, Pres. Obama, and Under Sec. Susan Rice all continually lied to the American people, blaming the attack and murders on anger as a result of a video that mocked the Prophet Mohammad. The film was produced by an Egyptian Christian residing in the US.  Obama and Hillary even bought time on Pakistani television to denounce the video and its creator.  Obama’s federal government soon found grounds to imprison the Egyptian Copt.  I am less certain if he and Hillary did anything to apprehend the murderers of the Americans in Benghazi.

            Under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, there has been a policy that is often sympathetic to Muslims at the expense of the American people.  Recall the original 9/11 attacks in the US, in which Muslim terrorists hijacked American civilian planes to attack the World Trade Center twin towers and the Pentagon (and a 4^th plane was downed by passengers when they realized the Muslims were intending to use their plane as a missile).  Over 3,000 innocent Americans were killed by the Muslim terrorists in those attacks - and not a gun was fired.  Later, an official report was issued, but 28 pages were kept secret because they apparently showed connections between the terrorists and high Saudi officials.  Pres. Bush preferred a cover-up.  And so does Pres. Obama.  The cover-up continues to this day.

However, the situation grew worse under Obama.  He appointed as his first Sec. of State Hillary Clinton, one of whose most trusted advisors is Huma Abedin.  Although Huma had married Anthony Weiner, then a prominent Jewish Congressman from New York, she had links of a very different kind.  Her husband had hoped to become the mayor of New York City, but Weiner’s sex texting, when it became known, roused sufficient embarrassment, even in liberal NY, to force Weiner to withdraw from the race.  But even after the deflation of Weiner’s political prospects, Huma retained her post as a major advisor to one of the most influential people in America.  In addition to working for Hillary, Huma had links to the World Muslim League and the Muslim Brotherhood.

In a 2009 ruling, a Federal Judge in the case of the Holy Land Foundation concluded that the Muslim Brotherhood was an un-indicted co-conspirator funneling money to a terrorist organization, Hamas.  The new Obama Administration sought to ride to the rescue.  In his 22 Jun 2016 article on frontpage.com. Joseph Klein described Obama’s approach.   In a speech in Cairo in June 2009 Obama announced he would use his Presidency to “‘fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear’…his administration conducted what amounted to a censorship within the government…For example, an anti-terrorism conference scheduled for August…2011 was cancelled after Islamic groups protested…the content of several presentations and the speakers.”  

Klein added, “Beginning in the fall of 2011, the Dept. of Homeland Security’s Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties undertook a campaign to purge any critical references to Islamic ideology and beliefs from intelligence and law enforcement training materials.”

Klein also reports that Patrick Haney, a retired, senior official of the DHS claimed that he was ordered to purge records he had accumulated in a data base that tied potential jihadists with various Islamic groups.  Haney alleged that had those files not been purged, there would have been a greater chance to detect and halt Mateen before he killed 49 people in Orlando.  On TV Haney stated he personally did not delete the files, but it was done by higher-ups at DHS.  And consider further, Mateen worked as a security guard for a company that was contracted to DHS!  He passed their security checks.  Someone wondered if he might have one day become a guard at a nuclear plant!  Is the government doing its job of protecting us from Muslim terrorists?

National Public Radio is hardly right-wing radio, but even its reporters had difficulties trying to explain the failure to recognize the threat posed by Army Major Nidal  Hasan.  Hasan was a psychiatrist, and some of those interviewed must have been his colleagues.  They were shocked to hear the hatred Hasan expressed toward America’s efforts in the Middle East.  They wondered what kind of counseling he was providing for soldiers needing psychiatric help.  Yet, these fellow professionals dared not officially complain, because they knew that doing so would be a mark against them, showing they might be racist, or prejudiced against Muslims, and it might cause them problems down the road in politically correct America.  Hasan wanted out of the army and he sought to avoid being sent to Afghanistan, but he could  not win the proper release.  So on 5 November 2009 at Ft. Hood, Texas, a gun-free zone, Major Hasan proceeded to kill 13 of his fellow soldiers and injure 30 more.  Islamic terrorism?  NO, concluded the Obama Administration.  This was simply work-place violence.  Just like the Obama’s Dept. of Justice is still searching for the real motive that caused Omar Mateen to kill 49 in Orlando.  Surely it was not Islamic terrorism.

Mateen a lone wolf?  Before his mass murders, Mateen sold his home to a relative for about $1.  Did they not ask any questions as to why?  At such a price?  The mosque Omar attended was the same one that inspired Moner Abu Salha to go to Syria as a suicide bomber in 2014.   Pure coincidence, I’m sure.  Mateen’s 2^nd wife drove him to the Orlando bar.  She accompanied him and helped him purchase weapons.  And Mateen’s father is an Afghan and has his own videoTV show on politics in Afghanistan.  So clearly none of this influenced Omar Mateen; clearly he was a lone wolf who had nothing to do with Islamic terrorism.  He murdered 49 for some other reason, all alone.

The Russians warned the Americans about another immigrant family that we welcomed into the US, the Tsarnaevs.  They came as immigrants to the US and were soon ensconced on welfare.  They were Muslims sympathetic to radical Islam and terrorism.  Before setting off bombs on 15 April 2013 at the Boston Marathon – killing 3 and injuring 264 – the brothers had apparently killed a Jew in a “drug” deal (or perhaps merely for the Islamist ideal of killing a Jew).  After the bombing, the mother endorsed her sons’ actions, and she left America for her homeland.  I would hope her welfare payments have been stopped.

Why were the Russian warnings about this family as possible terrorists ignored by the American authorities?  Who is responsible for permitting such a murderous family into America?  And if not the individual, what policies prevent America from barring such potentially violent immigrants?

During WWII a policy of alliance with and appeasement toward the Soviet Union was adopted by high elements in the Administration of FDR, and possibly including Roosevelt himself; these policies resulted in the stealing of atomic secrets, which greatly advanced the Soviet development of its own bombs.  Furthermore, pro-Communist policies inside the US State, Treasury, and other federal departments, sabotaged aid to Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-Shek, and sabotaged help to anti-Communist elements in Yugoslavia, Poland, and other lands.

Under Pres. George W. Bush and especially under Pres. Obama, a policy has developed so that America cannot defend itself against Muslim terrorists.  Additionally, Obama’s, and Hillary’s association with the MB and the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) present a great danger.  Those groups assert that they are simply  defending civil rights and civil liberties for Muslims, but in reality they may be out to destroy the civil rights and civil liberties of those who expose the bigotry and history of violence and terror and slavery and oppression and terrorism in Islam?  Islam is not a religion of “peace.”  It grew through conquest.  It demands not equality with other groups; it demands submission by all to Islam and to its oppressive sharia law.  The Obama Administration pretends that Islam is a religion of peace.  But on this important issue, the Obama Administration lies.  The Obama Administration declared the Major Hasan murders to be workplace violence.  The Obama Administration lied.  The Obama Adm. demands that the FBI coordinate its anti-terror activities with groups like CAIR.  But CAIR  and similar groups are notorious for defending terrorism.  It will simply obstruct efforts to prevent terrorism. (For more on CAIR, see Daniel Pipes, “Is CAIR a Terror Group?” National Review, 28 Nov. 2014)  No wonder the Tsarnaevs were undetected until they bombed the Boston Marathon.  No wonder the Muslim terrorists in San Bernadino, Syed Farook and his foreign-born wife Tashfeen Malik, were allowed in the country and under the radar and allowed to murder 14 and seriously injure 22 on 2 December 2015.  They killed them, most of them his co-workers, at a party.  No wonder Omar Mateen, even after mouthing off against this group and that, was allowed to pass security clearances and get a job in security at a company that has contracts with the DHS.  No wonder he was allowed to kill 49 at Pulse night club.

I do not maintain that all Muslims are terrorists.  There are peaceful Muslims who are willing to abide by the American Constitution.  But there are other Muslims who reject America, Western civilization, our notions of freedom, and out Constitution.  Our government is failing utterly to distinguish between them.  Worse, it appears as if some inside   our bureaucracies sympathize with those who would use terrorism against us.  In our efforts not to offend Muslims, not to profile, not to track those who favor the Islamic State or other tyrannical and terrorist groups, the US Government is betraying the American people.  Or rather, elements of the US Govt are doing so.    

The present Obama Administration policies are killing Americans.  It would be as if FDR had ordered J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI to coordinate with the Communist Party, USA, to uncover any Soviet spies in America.  The CPUSA would naturally tip off anyone under suspicion.  Indeed even the non-Communist, co-President Harry Hopkins did that too.  In the 1940s there was a vast conspiracy inside the US government working to aid international Communism.  Today, there appears to be conspirators inside the US government working to appease and provide easy access for Muslim terrorists.  The results of such appeasement policies will be the murder of innocent Americans and the long-term destruction of the USA.  It is time for a change.

         

ISRAELI - ARAB CONFLICT; Jewish Century???

If you did not read till the end of my lengthy review of Slezkine's book, The Jewish Century, my comments about Israel seem now more current.  I here repeat them as a separate post.  Hugh Murray

             And what about Israel, the third locale for migration from the Pale?

            The economic position of Jews in Germany was quite different from that of the average German.  Professionals, business men, educators, engineers, scientists, literary figures, bankers, department store moguls, publishers, etc., while many Germans were farmers or factory workers.  Not only were the Jews different, they were rich, earning about 2.5 RM for every mark earned by a gentile.  And with the Great Depression, the gap between rich and poor, Jew and German seemed to widen.  Could Jews “normalize”?  Could they become Appollonians like the rest of society?  The Nazis asserted that they could not and had to be driven from Germany, from Europe, and when they did not go, they were exterminated.

            Soviet Russia also sought to “normalize” the Jews.  There were discussions of giving them farm land in the Crimea, which had been forcibly vacated by Tartars who, fighting against the Bolsheviki, had been removed to Siberia.  Opposition to the Crimean venture was strong, and nothing came of it.  However, in 1928 the USSR provided an oblast (not a full province) to the Jews.  Birobizhan was to be the Soviet Zion.  There Jews would become farmers and day laborers; they would become Appollonians, like most people.  Birobizhan was in Siberia north of Mongolia, and Slezkine mentions one family of Jews that resettled there.  After one of them froze to death, they returned to the big cities of Russia.  Soviet Jews remained Mercurians, but many were ensconced in the bureaucracy or the Cheka.  Even today, after 85 years, most of the population of Birobizhan is not Jewish.

            In America, Jews were successful, like their German cousins, and following WWII, they witnessed a sharp decline in anti-Semitism.  Ivy League universities, which early in the 20^th century only reluctantly admitted Jewish students, had so changed that by 1990 all of the presidents of the Ivy League universities were Jewish.  The Irish-American sociologist and politician, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, assessed the public schools of New York City as having “transformed two generations of Jewish immigrants into the intellectual elite of the world’s most powerful nation.”(Graham, 310-11)  In post-WWII America, Jews were probably as wealthy and as influential as their cousins had been in Weimar Germany, but in America, they faced diminishing hostility  Indeed, one might speculate that the creation of “white male privilege” was an attempt to avoid the murderous consequences of the German experience, in which Jews were an elite class, but obvious, alone, and hence a target, the 1%.  In America, no one speaks of Jewish privilege, but there are ever more denunciations of white male privilege.  Anti-Semitism declines while poor whites experience ever more discrimination.

            In Israel, Jews would become Appollonians, farmers, kibutzniks, and most importantly, warriors.  In 1933 there was a strange concurrence of policies between Nazis and Zionists – both wanted the Jews out of Germany.  In the mid-1930s, when the Nazis made the swastika the flag of the nation, Jews were not allowed to display it.  They could, however, display a Zionist flag.  More important, there was an agreement between the German govt. and the Zionists so that Jews departing for Palestine (the name for that land at the time) could take with them more property, and also get credit to purchase necessary items from the Reich.  While other Jewish and Leftist organizations boycotted German-made products, the Zionists did not partake in the boycott.  Several thousand Jews left Germany for Palestine and were able to take considerable sums with them.

            Later in the 1930s the Nazis switched horses in the Middle East.  When Arabs began to riot against Jewish immigrants, the Germans revised their policy.  During WWII the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem rejected British policy which he deemed pro-Jewish.  The Mufti went to Berlin, met with Hitler, and broadcast from German radio to the Middle East.  His message was simple – kill the Jews.  He even visited a concentration camp.

            Following WWI, Britain controlled Trans-Jordan (Jordan, Palestine, Israel), but with the outbreak of WWII, one might wonder if the British could retain it.  In nearby Iraq, a pro-Axis coup occurred (led by a relative of Saddam Hussein).  The British suppressed it, but many Jews were killed by the rebels.  Syria had been given to the French, but suddenly the French under Marshall Petain were collaborating with Germany.  And when Gen. Rommel’s Afrika Korps rumbled past the border of Libya into Egypt, and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt was preparing to greet the German conqueror, one could wonder about the future of Jews in Egypt and Palestine.  Rommel was defeated at El Alamein 11 November 1942.  Vichy France fell later. Jews no longer had to fear a Nazi conquest in the area, but they still had to fear the Arabs.

            In May 1948 Israel declared independence, and was immediately attacked by all its Arab neighbors.  With weapons from various sources, including eastern European Communist states, the Israelis won and extended their borders beyond the untenable UN suggested ones.  But the existence of Israel has been denied by some of its neighbors ever since.  It is a state in a constant state of war.  The military, the soldier, the secret service, and the scientists are all necessary to the continuance of the state.  Slezkine sums up the process: “Israel was the only postwar European state (‘European’ in both composition and inspiration) to have preserved the ethos of the great nationalist and socialist revolutions of the interwar period.  Hitler’s Germany and Mussolini’s Italy had been defeated and discredited; Franco’s Spain and Salazar’s Portugal had discarded whatever fascist fervor they had tolerated; Ataturk’s Turkey had routinized its triumph over both cosmopolitanism and popular religion…and Stalin’s Soviet Union had begun to represent itself as middle-aged, mature, a little weary, and perhaps ready for some material comforts and a bit of family happiness.  Only Israel continued to live in the European 1930s;”(327)  Slezkine notes the irony, for as Jews in Israel became Appollonian, much of the West became Mercurian.

            And this difference between Israel with its “warrior culture”(327) and the liberal, multicultural West of today has led to an obvious dichotomy on the part of Western Jews.  In the West, Jews generally support open borders, large-scale immigration of very different peoples to the Western nations.  But Israel seeks to deport the “infiltrators.”  And it does so despite nonsensical denunciations from the UN.  Jews in the West, going back to Franz Boas and his school of social science, dismissed the importance of race, and some later social scientists even deny that race exists.  Jared Diamond condemned The Bell Curve’s conclusions of differences among the races in IQ as “notorious.”  He wrote Guns, Germs and Steel to demonstrate that in human development race was unimportant compared to geography.  Yet, Prof. Diamond was delighted when DNA might be used to detect who is a Jew and who therefore who should be allowed into Israel, - and who should not.  If America, of France, or Sweden were to act as does Israel, American Jews, French Jews, and Swedish Jews, all anchored with the Left, would be organizing massive protests against their governments.  Yet, they support Israel.

            If certain policies are so good for Israel, why are they bad when a Western nation does the same?  Why does the Jewish community praise one and denounce the other?  Is it hypocrisy?  Or, as Kevin McDonald suggests, is it an attempt by a very smart people to weaken its possible competitors by turning the West into 3^rdWorld disaster nations, and transform all American cities into Detroit, Newark, East St. Louis?

            Slezkine has written a most important book, and one that won the National Jewish Book Award.  It is provocative in the best sense of the word.

            Though Slezkine’s book preceded the election to the American Presidency of Barrack Hussein Obama, it may be appropriate to discuss Slezkine’s book in view of Obama’s policies.  Slezkine’s book, though much of it describes the Russian experience, concludes that the Jewish migration to Moscow and Petersburg was a failure.  Communism betrayed the Jews long before the Soviet system collapsed.  So the two successful Jewish migrations were to the US and to Israel.

            Obama may have been a Muslim as a child, and he appears to view the West as a colonial power, exploiting nations who have become impoverished through capitalist policies.  When the “Arab Spring” erupted in Egypt, Obama praised the movement.  America’s long-time ally, Mubarak was overthrown, and Obama was pleased that his military government would now be replaced by democracy.  True, an attractive, blond, CBS reporter may have been raped in the Egyptian celebrations for democracy, and Jewish tourists were quickly exiting the land of pyramids, and Coptic Christians were uneasy, but Obama was delighted as democracy swept through Egypt.  In the elections, the Muslim Brotherhood, awaiting power since Rommel’s panzers approached, now had their day.  In the democratic Egypt under the Muslim Brotherhood, the Christian minority was persecuted, some murdered, and ancient churches torched.  To show that they were equal opportunity bigots, the religious leader of the Brotherhood announced that Jews were descendants of pigs and monkeys and promised to destroy Israel and the Jews.

            When the Arab Spring spread to neighboring Libya, the American Ambassador and 3 special agents were murdered.  Whom did Hillary Clinton, American Sec. of State, and Pres. Obama blame  for the murder?  Not the Muslim extremists.  They blamed an Egyptian Christian living in the US who had made a film mocking Mohammad.

            In recent years Muslim terrorists killed innocents in China, Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Russia, the US, Nigeria.  Muslim intolerance and murder has already wiped the Jews out of most of the Middle East, now they seek to destroy the ancient Christian communities in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, etc.  In Afghanistan, some time ago, the Muslims destroyed huge statues of Buddha carved from a mountain over a millennium ago.  A Muslim Brotherhood cleric in Egypt spoke of destroying the pagan pyramids.  Recently, one Muslim sect in the new ISIS realm physically destroyed the old tomb of Jonah.

            And yet President Obama urges Israel to return to its 1948 borders!  Why not have the US return to ours of 1800?  One must admire Israel’s determination NOT to be fooled by the liberals into concluding a suicidal peace.  One hopes that in the future, Western leaders will ignore the liberal Jewish establishment and do what is necessary to protect American borders from massive immigration invasion, American cultural from the multicultural anarchy, and restore order rather than excusiology in the courts.  Israel has a sane policy.  But in the West, Jewish influence often prevents the developed nations from adopting sane policies, like the ones followed in Israel.

            Slezkine notes that when Jews were a main bulwark (if not the bulwark) for the Soviet state, not only were they “Stalin’s willing executioners,” but they “were never quite sure why they were executing some people and not others.”(103)  In Israel, they know.  There are those who clearly want to destroy Israel and kill all the Jews.  It is kill or be killed.  Sadly, in American cities today, people are beginning to confront the same horrible choice.  

                        Slezkine has written a most important book, and one that won the National Jewish Book Award.  It is provocative in the best sense of the word.

US Presidential Election - One month to go

Anger for Islam ties players behind prophet film

The Muslim fanatics can attack American soil for many reasons - all wrong. In America we have a right to make movies, even not very funny ones. Today the Muslims riot and attack over this film. Perhaps tomorrow they riot because the lead actor in another film is a Jew (and some of Obama's buddies in the Muslim Brotherhood want to exterminate all Jews as well as Israel). Or they could riot because in one movie someone ate pork. Or in another, a man petted a dog (Mohammad did not like dogs).
The Muslims can find any excuse to attack American Embassies; after all, they hate America and the West. In the end, they hate freedom.

We should not curb our freedoms to appease the Muslims. And Hillary Clinton's advisor with connections to the Muslim Brotherhood should be investigated.

US STATE DEPT. CONSIDERS RELEASING BLIND SHEIKH TO EGYPT

My comment on the story:

MURAHU

The blind sheikh was involved with the attempt to destroy the World Trade Center in 1993.  He should have been executed.  One assumes he cheered the events of 9/11.  Now Obama's pro-Muslim-fanatics Administration plans to transfer the terrorist to Muslim Brotherhood Egypt.  Michele Bachmann is right to demand investigations into Muslim Brotherhood influence on Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama.
One hopes the American people will evict the pro-Muslim Brotherhood, pro-terrorist crowd from the White House this November.

The hammer and sickle, symbol of Communism, seems appropriate for Obama. His mentor in Hawaii was a member of the American Communist Party. He appointed Van Jones as a green Czar, and Jones had connections to communism. Obama was connected on boards with convicted terrorist Ayres. Obama was a member of the hate-whitey and the West church in Chicago for 20 years. His administration promoted the Arab Spring, that brought to power the fanatical Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Obama's administration pretends that terrorism has not occurred under his terrible administration yet at Fort Hood, a Muslim terrorist killed fellow soldiers, and his trial is delayed because he refuses to shave!! Another Muslim terror attack on Times Square failed because of an alert vendor. Hillary's pro-Muslim Brotherhood advisor may have prevented proper security for our mission in Lybia.
Were Obama a witch doctor, that might be an improvement over the real Obama who hates the West, supports Muslim fanatics, imposes socialist medicine on America, and provides amnesty for a million more illegals, who will soon receive affirmative action preferences so they will get jobs, scholarships, grants, contracts, more easily than native-born American citizens.

 At a fancy bar in New York City walking through the revolving door comes an imam, a rabbi, and a priest.

The bartender asks, 

"Is this a joke?"  

Shortly after, coming through the same door, a Marxist, an illegal, and a Muslim. 

 The bartender says, 

"Hello, Mr. President."

RESPECT PRESIDENT OBAMA - COMMANTURD-IN-CHIEF

All Americans should respect our President, Barack Hussein Obama.  Even though he has helped the Arab Spring, and helped the anti-American Muslim Brotherhood attain power in Egypt, and other anti-American and anti-Western and anti-Christian groups come to and maintain power.  We should respect him even though he did nothing when the American Embassy was attacked in Cairo.  Even though he did nothing to defend the American Ambassador from torture and death.  Even though OBAMA LIED about the incident, denying it was a terror attack and blamed it on a film.
Even though President Obama is a liar and fails to defend America and its interests, all Americans should respect him, after all, he is our Commander-in-Chief.  Wait, I made a mistake, he is not our Commander-in-Chief, he is our Commanturd-in-Chief!
Instead of blaming the Muslim terrorists for the recent outbreaks of Muslim fanatical protest and terror, his administration makes a film shown in the Muslim world to denounce the video that offended Muslims.  Obama appeases the Muslim fanatics and refuses to defend the West.

‘SPOKESMAN’ FOR ANTI-MUHAMMAD FILM SPEAKS OUT ON ISLAMIST PROTESTERS: ‘THEY’RE PRE-INCITED, THEY’RE PRE-PROGRAMMED TO DO THIS’

MURAHU

Posted on September 14, 2012 at 2:35pm

The hate mongers are not the film makers. The little I saw of it was more like a bad Saturday Night Live show. Did you ever see “Life of Bryan”? It was a spoof of Christianity. Some Christians may have been offended, but killed no one. Same with “Last Temptation of Christ.”
The hate mongers are the Muslim Brotherhood and its supporters – including a prominent advisor to Sec. of State H. Clinton. The hate mongers are the Egyptian MB who called for the extermination of Israel and all Jews. The hate mongers are the Egyptian Muslims who, after Arab Spring, burnt churches and killed Christians. They apparently crucified a Christian a week ago. Yet, these hate mongers were hailed by Pres. Obama. The US govt. grants Egypt, dominated by the MB, over a billion dollars in “aid.” The hate mongers are Obama and H. Clinton who prefer to destroy America’s First Amendment, free speech, to appease the hate-America Muslims. Obama-Clinton appease murderous Muslims, even to the point of seeking to stop free speech in America.
While we in the US still have freedom, we should use it in November to oust the anti-Western, anti-American, pro-Muslim Brotherhood crowd in the White House.

Education Solution: Ban Private Schools

Private schools give rich kids unfair advantage: Gawker's John Cook

It is not the private schools where one must enter through a metal detector.  Crime, violence, bullying are more likely at public schools.  Why?   One reason is law suits by the Obama Administration to prevent suspensions or expulsions of disruptive students if minorities are punished at a higher rate.  But the O Admin. does not consider that minorities may well be more disruptive.  Who are the "youths" in flash mobs?  Tho the media and police and politicians try to avoid the obvious, the young criminals in such mobs are Black.
And what is taught in public schools?  Too often it is a "diversity" curriculum, emphasizing unimportant contributions by minorities and women, ignoring major accomplishments of dead white men, and denouncing white males as privileged.  It is a curriculum of hate, and the results are visible in the flash mobs.
Gawker speaks of equal opportunity!  Hah.  It is the Ob. Admin. that is most opposed.  Obama orates that we should all follow the same rules.  But affirmative action, which he supports and tries to extend, guarantees that we do not follow the same set of rules.  It is a preference policy for the pets of the liberals, and punishment program for white males.  A A is the denial of equal opportunity.
Make public schools a place to educate, without bullies and violence, with equal opportunity for all, and a decent curriculum, and America would be a better place.

Barney Frank Defends 'Uncle Tom' Comments

The Democrats are the pro-crime party.  Violent criminals are more likely to aim for gays, the elderly, women, the handicapped so they may rob more easily.  The Democrats will oppose punishing "the poor, minority, who only needed it for his drugs."  Worse, if the gay, old one, woman, or handicapped, used a gun to stop the young violent criminal, then, in liberal world, they are worse than the criminal.  Look at how the media went after the Hispanic Zimmerman for protecting his neighborhood from the hood-wearing suspended student probably on the prowl.     The Democrats, with their allies - trial lawyers, the "critical law" judges, the ACLU (Ameri. Criminal Liberties Union) - are a threat to all law-abiding citizens, especially gays, the elderly, women, handicapped, and the poor and honest.

Elderly Woman Dragged From Car by Texas Cop

I am one of the elderly, and have to urinate more than when I was young. However, when a police officer makes reasonable requests, one should comply. Most of the elderly want equal rights. The woman in the car demands preference, privilege. She was wrong. He followed the law. She violated it.
Ignore the excusiologists who excuse young criminals (but they are poor, minorities, etc), and in this case condemn a Black officer who is doing the right thing with an elderly woman with attitude. The policeman should be praised!

WHY IT MATTERS: Issues at stake in election

Missing also from the AP analysis is the extreme racism on the part of Obama's Dept. of Justice. Whistle blower Christian Adams resigned from the DoJ because of the anti-white racism motivating many of the actions of Holder's DoJ. Beginning with the dismissal of the suit against the New Black Panther Party for intimidating voters in Philadelphia, to not prosecuting Blacks in the South for voter fraud, to suing schools who expel disruptive students (when a large proportion are Black), to doing nothing to halt the racist mobs stealing and attacking whites (the liberal media refuse to call them Black racist mobs, just "flash mobs" and youths, a typical lie of the liberals).
Obama's is the most racist administration since that of Democrat Woodrow Wilson.

Funny you should mention Wilson, Hugh. Except for the gay marriage issue, this year's democrat platform was largely lifted from Wilson's 1912 Progressive Party platform.

Wonder if the Black Panthers will be manning polling places like in he last election. Be prepared. With Obama and Holder in office we have no rights. Valerie Jarrett is a timebomb, also.

Missing is the attacks on American soil (our embassies) throughout the Islamic world. Obama and Hillary Clinton cheered the Arab Spring. That brought to power the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and similar anti-Western groups is other Muslim nations. While Clinton has a major advisor who has immediate family connected to the Muslim Brotherhood, the MB leaders in Egypt push that nation to extremism. In Egypt, Muslims burn churches, kill Christian, and some of the MB leaders demand the extermination of Israel and all Jews. The peace between Egypt and Israel is shaky. This is all the result of the Obama-Clinton policies. The Obama Admin. killed Osama, but the Egyptian protestors shouted, "Obama, we are all Osamas now!"
Bottom line - Obama has led America into a disastrous foreign policy where on 9/11/12 and after American soil is under attack.

And these attacks especally the first one on the American Embassy was a planned attack for 9/11. It was not due to some stupid film which has been out since July. And they better wake up and admit that instead of misleading the American public. We cannot be "friends" with these people. We cannot hold hands and sing kumbya. These people hate us and unless or until Obama starts believing this we are in deep doodoo.
