<p>The 35 million illegal alien 3rd worlders (theres probably even more) in this country should be deported to Israel. Israel is in DESPERATE need of more multi-culturalism and diversity. They need to experience the wonders of a multi-cultural society, the same﻿ society they have turned our once proud , glorious and White nation into</p>
<p>theycallusgoyim 2 days ago</p>
<p>Exactly what percentage of Israel should be black African? 5%, 10%, 90%? We﻿ all know they&#8217;re in need of some cultural vibrancy, that Tel Aviv is as &#8220;hideously Jewish&#8221; as most of rural Britain and America is &#8220;hideously white&#8221;.</p>
<p>Who decides how black African Israel should be? I put it at 20% myself (rising to 30% within a generation, 50% within two generations&#8230; you get the picture).</p>
<p>How about you? Where do you put the figure for how black Israel should be?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Parasite Capitalism: Human Awakening Calling Time On the Beast </p>
<p>by Finian Cunningham</p>
<p>Global Research, January 27, 2012 </p>
<p>Listen to this fable. A man was lying in bed, tired and tormented. Tired because it was the early hours and yet he could not sleep; tormented because the cause of his tiredness was a mosquito, lurking somewhere in the darkness that would sporadically make its presence known by homing in on the man’s head, its whining buzz ringing in his ear. Try as he might, the man could not find any rest. Covering his head with the bed sheet only made him hot and breathless, the clammy discomfort made all the worse because of the climate. </p>
<p>Furthermore there was the hateful, capricious presence of his tormentor. Just when tiredness was overcoming the man, luring him to sleep, his tormentor would descend with its wicked whining on the other side of the sheet. Jolted by the sound, the man’s irritation would surge again, knowing that another hour of sleeplessness would have to pass. </p>
<p>His mind began to wander into squeamish thoughts. If he submitted to his tormentor’s desires by throwing off the sheet from his head, gaining some air to breathe and some badly craved minutes of sleep, then the mosquito would as sure as hell take its toll. The man pictured the ruthless parasite gorging on his blood while sleeping. He was nauseated by the idea of an alien creature being able to violate his skin with impunity and dipping into the well of his lifeblood, sucking his body’s vital fluid until its spindly belly became grotesquely bloated. The horribleness of the process disgusted him, terrorized him. </p>
<p>But also the squalid, gratuitous relationship filled him with anger. All at once his anger redoubled because he then realized that he – a man – had wasted so much of his precious rest time cowering under a sheet intimidated by an inferior speck of an insect, which in daylight he recalled is actually a very ungainly, insipid kind of creature that can easily be captured and crushed. </p>
<p>The man wasn’t yet working to a premeditated plan. Angry and exasperated, now fully awake, he simply decided to throw off the sheet and enjoy the cooling air. Lying full-square on his back, at first he felt a certain amusement from his petty show of defiance. What he would do next, wasn’t quite in his consciousness. He was just for the moment merely taking in fresh air. </p>
<p>Then out of the blackness, it came again, the wicked whining. Louder than ever, it seemed, the tormentor was drilling towards his bare face. But this time the man did not shirk or take shelter under the sheet. It was probably a mixture of irritation and anger that made his hands snap together in reflex, not consciously. He was surprised by his own quick, powerful action. And what was even more surprising to him was the subsequent silence. At first hardly believing his luck at catching his tormentor in pitch darkness, he then became elated by the sustained silence that meant that the torment was over. He had at last acquired rest and he luxuriated in the satisfaction of earning it. To be sure, in the scheme of things it was only a small victory, but nevertheless the man allowed himself the pleasure of knowing that he had asserted his will deliberately, purposefully for the comfort and peace of his mind and body. No longer would he be subjugated by a fiend. Henceforth, or at least for the rest of the night, this man would be the subject of his own fate. </p>
<p>The parasitical nature of late capitalism in the early 21st century is beyond comparison to a pest such as the mosquito. The lifeblood sucked from the body of society by a tiny ruling elite is oceans in volume by comparison; the human misery and suffering magnitudes worse. Prolific journalist Stephen Lendman can provide the shocking data on the United States of America in particular and how that society has within the space of a lifetime been bled utterly dry by the Wall Street banks, corporate oligarchs and their servile political Igors in both mainstream parties, including the occupant of the White House [1]. The same torment of the large body of people by a parasitical elite is replicated in Europe and elsewhere. </p>
<p>That is the ineluctable fiendish nature of global capitalism, which over generations feeds on the lifeblood of workers, and emaciates them and their families, while the system’s executors become bloated to the point of bursting, with all the wastefulness and destructiveness, including wars, that that entails. There is no way of legislating against such parasitism because the legislators are, or will sooner or later become, part of the parasitism – as the rich get richer and power and wealth inevitably polarize under capitalism. It is like a centrifugal force; always taking, taking, taking until the majority are left looking like a spent liquid to be discarded. Look at every nation state under the diktat of capitalism at this time in history, and dare say that that isn’t so. </p>
<p>The only protection to be gained is from crushing the system and replacing it with a different paradigm of relationships (democratic socialism – an alternative that has scarcely ever been given the chance to develop under the tyranny of capitalist imperialism). </p>
<p>In truth, this is not an impossibly tall order. The tormentor is in actual fact puny in number and size when compared with the collective body and power of the people. In many ways, the tormentor is only able to continue his parasitical tyranny because the people have chosen thus far to cower and take relative disorganized shelter. Or worst, they have fallen asleep from weariness, assigning themselves completely to the mercy of an insatiable feeding frenzy. </p>
<p>But signs are that the great body of humanity is finally beginning to rouse in anger, precisely from a painful understanding of how it has been and is being tormented. The world is awakening – thanks to global communications – and no more so than in the United States, where it is arguably most needed. And like the man in the above fable, a moment of determined organization could be all it takes to suddenly overturn a state of fear and torment into one of joy and freedom. </p>

A not-to-be-missed feature documentary</p>
<p>Global Research, January 31, 2012<br />
- 2012-01-24 </p>
<p>&#8220;The only thing new in the world is the history you don&#8217;t know.&#8221;   -Harry S. Truman</p>
<p>SUPERPOWER: A documentary film by Barbara-Anne Steegmuller</p>
<p>WATCH THE OFFICIAL TRAILER ON GRTV</p>
<p>SUPERPOWER is a comprehensive film that asks tough questions and goes behind the scenes of America’s national security apparatus and military actions. Far from a conspiracy film about the dangers of government secrets and regime change, this well-balanced film straddles the philosophical divide and allows viewers to understand the US quest for global dominance through economic and military strategy that is exposed through review of historical events, personal interviews, and analysis of US foreign policy. </p>
<p>Featuring interviews with Michel Chossudovsky, Bill Blum, Chalmers Johnson and Noam Chomsky, among many others.</p>
<p>SUPERPOWER has won a number of awards, including the 5th Annual Hollywood F.A.M.E. Award for Documentary of the Year 2011 as well as the 2011 32nd Annual People&#8217;s Choice Bronze Telly Award.</p>

<p>Far from a conspiracy film about the dangers of government secrets and regime change, this well-balanced film straddles the philosophical divide and allows viewers to understand the US quest for global dominance through economic and military strategy that is exposed through review of historical events, personal interviews, and analysis of US foreign policy.</p>
<p>The heart of SUPERPOWER lies in the analysis produced from a re-examination of history through a series of interviews with historians, documentarians, and academians such as Bill Blum, Chalmers Johnson, Michel Chossudovsky, and Noam Chomsky, and others with expertise in this subject such as the Executive Producer of The Unit, Command Sergeant (Ret.) Eric Haney; former Chief Economist for the US Department of Labor, Morgan Reynolds; three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Kathy Kelly; and Lt. Col. (Ret) Karen Kwiatkowski. Examining key moments in America’s history elicits a more consistent and plausible set of motives for US foreign policy actions guided by global expansion and military dominance, rather than the hyperbolic calls for democracy and totalitarian regime change that we have become so accustomed to hearing.</p>
<p>Should citizens trust that their government will keep them safe, a government that keeps secrets, and lies, in the name of national security? Does the simple act of withholding information lead to a world of eroding civil liberties and corruption? SUPERPOWER presents a view of US foreign policy, which lies in stark contrast to that depicted by corporate media, popular pundits, and US heads of state. With the fall of the Soviet Union, the US has emerged as the preeminent superpower of the world. SUPERPOWER illustrates how the United States has chosen to leverage that position to pursue a grand strategy which will ensure itself unilateral world domination through absolute economic and military superiority. It shows a consistent pattern of government deception.</p>
<p>The United States emerged from World War II with its industrial base still intact and the only nation with the atomic bomb. It was without question the most powerful country on earth. What was done with this unprecedented power, the effects it’s had on our Republic and the rest of the world is the story of SUPERPOWER.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Drowning In Hypocrisy: War Abroad, Austerity at Home</p>
<p>by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts</p>
<p>Global Research, January 25, 2012 </p>
<p>The US government is so full of self-righteousness that it has become a caricature of hypocrisy.  Leon Panetta, a former congressman who Obama appointed CIA director and now head of the Pentagon, just told the sailors on the USS Enterprise, an aircraft carrier, that the US is maintaining a fleet of 11 aircraft carriers in order to project sea power against Iran and to convince Iran that “it’s better for them to try to deal with us through diplomacy.” </p>
<p>If it requires 11 aircraft carriers to deal with Iran, how many will Panetta need to project power against Russia and China?  But to get on with the main point, Iran has been trying “to deal with us through diplomacy.”  The response from Washington has been belligerent threats of military attack, unfounded and irresponsible accusations that Iran is making a nuclear weapon, sanctions and an oil embargo. Washington’s accusations echo Israel’s and are contradicted by Washington’s own intelligence agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency.  Why doesn’t Washington respond to Iran in a civilized manner with diplomacy?  Really, which of the two countries is the greatest threat to peace?</p>
<p>Washington sends the FBI to raid the homes of peace activists and puts a grand jury to work to create a case against them for aiding a nebulous enemy by protesting Washington’s wars. The Department of Homeland Security unleashes goon cop thugs to brutalize peaceful Occupy Wall Street demonstrators. Washington fabricates cases against Bradley Manning, Julian Assange, and Tarek Mehanna that negate the First Amendment by equating free speech with terrorism and spying. Chicago mayor and former Obama White House chief-of-staff, Rahm Israel Emanuel, pushes an ordinance that outlaws public protests in the City of Chicago. The list goes on.  And in the midst of it all Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other Washington hypocrites accuse Russia and China of stifling dissent. </p>
<p>Washington’s grotesque hypocrisy goes unremarked by the American “media” and in the debates for the Republican presidential  nomination. The corrupt Obama “Justice” Department turns a blind eye while goon cop thugs commit gratuitous violence against the citizens who pay the goon cop thugs’ undeserved salaries. </p>
<p>But it is in the War Crimes Arena where Washington shows the greatest hypocrisy. The self-righteous bigots in Washington are forever rounding up heads of weak states whose countries were afflicted by civil wars and sending them off to be tried as war criminals. All the while Washington indiscriminately kills large numbers of civilians in six or more countries, dismissing its own war crimes as “collateral damage.” Washington violates its own law and international law by torturing people. </p>
<p>On January 13, 2012, Carol Rosenberg of McClatchy Newspapers reported that Spanish judge Pablo Rafael Ruz Gutierrez re-launched an investigation into Washington’s torture of prisoners in Guantanamo Prison. The previous day British authorities opened an investigation into CIA renditions of kidnapped persons to Libya for torture.</p>
<p>http://www.kansascity.com/2012/01/13/3369419/spanish-judge-reopens-guantanamo.html</p>
<p>Rosenberg reports that although the Obama regime has refused to investigate the obvious crimes of the Bush regime, and one might add its own obvious crimes, “other countries are still interested in determining whether Bush-era anti-terror practices violated international law.” </p>
<p>There is no question that Bush/Cheney/Obama have trashed the US Constitution, US statutory law, and international law.  But Washington, having overthrown justice, has established that might is right. No foreign government is going to send its forces into the US to drag the war criminals out and place them on trial. </p>
<p>The War Criminal Court at the Hague is reserved for Washington’s show trials.  No foreign government is going to pay Washington several hundred millions of dollars to turn Bush, Cheney, Obama and their minions over to them in the way the US bought Milosevic from Serbia in order to create the necessary spectacle at the War Crimes Tribunal  to justify Washington’s naked aggression against Serbia. </p>
<p>No government can be perfect, because all governments are composed of humans, especially those humans most attracted by power and profit.  Nevertheless, in my lifetime I have witnessed an extraordinary deterioration in the integrity of government in the United States.  We have reached the point where nothing that our government says is believable. Not even the unemployment rate, the inflation rate, the GDP growth rate, much less Washington’s reasons for its wars, its police state, and its foreign and domestic policies.</p>
<p>Washington has kept America at war for ten years while millions of Americans lost their jobs and their homes. War and a faltering economy have exploded the national debt, and a looming bankruptcy is being blamed on Social Security and Medicare. </p>
<p>The pursuit of war continues. On January 23 Washington’s servile puppets&#8211;the EU member states&#8211;did Washington’s bidding and imposed an oil embargo on Iran, despite the pleas of Greece, a member of the EU. Greece’s final ruin will come from the higher oil prices from the embargo, as the Greek government realizes. </p>
<p>The embargo is a reckless act. If the US navy tries to intercept oil tankers carrying Iranian oil, large scale war could break out. This, many believe, is Washington’s aim.</p>
<p>It is easy for an embargo to become a blockade, which is an act of war. Remember how easily the UN Security Council’s “no-fly zone” over Libya was turned by the US and its NATO puppets into a military attack on Libya’s armed forces and population centers supportive of Gaddafi.</p>
<p>As the western “democracies” become increasingly lawless, the mask of law that imperialism wears is stripped away and with it the sheen of morality that has been used to cloak hegemonic ambitions. With Iran surrounded and with two of Washington’s fleets in the Persian Gulf, another war of aggression seems inevitable. </p>
<p>Experts say that an attack on Iran by the US and NATO will disrupt the flow of oil that the world needs.  The crazed drive for hegemony is so compelling that Washington and its EU puppets show no hesitation in putting their own struggling economies at risk of sharply rising energy costs. </p>
<p>War abroad and austerity at home is the policy that is being imposed on the western “democracies.” </p>

<p>Israeli Assassinations and American Presidents</p>
<p>by Alison Weir</p>
<p>Global Research, January 25, 2012<br />
Antiwar.com  </p>
<p>In Jan. 13 the Atlanta Jewish Times featured a column by its owner-publisher suggesting that Israel might someday need to “order a hit” on the president of the United States.</p>
<p>In the column, publisher Andrew Adler describes a scenario in which Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu would need to “give the go-ahead for U.S.-based Mossad agents to take out a president deemed unfriendly to Israel.”</p>
<p>The purpose? So that the vice president could then take office and dictate U.S. policies that would help the Jewish state “obliterate its enemies.”</p>
<p>Adler wrote that it is highly likely that the idea “has been discussed in Israel’s most inner circles.”</p>
<p>Numerous Jewish leaders quickly condemned Adler, who has now apologized for the column, resigned, and put the newspaper up for sale. An Israeli columnist noted that the hatred being stirred up against Obama is similar to conditions in Israel that led to the murder of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin by a Jewish extremist.</p>
<p>Many of those criticizing Adler claim that he defamed Israel by suggesting that it would ever do such a thing. Abe Foxman, head of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL),proclaimed: “There is absolutely no excuse, no justification, no rationalization for this kind of rhetoric. It doesn’t even belong in fiction.”</p>
<p>In reality, however, Adler’s expectation that Israel’s inner circles have explored such a course of action, and would be willing to undertake it, may be entirely accurate. The fact is that Israel has killed and plotted to assassinate people throughout the world; a number have been Americans. One alleged plot was chillingly similar to Adler’s suggestion.</p>
<p>There is evidence that in 1991 an Israeli undercover team planned to assassinate a U.S. president. The intended victim was George Herbert Walker Bush.</p>
<p>The first person to write of the plot was a former 11-term Republican congressman from Illinois, Paul Findley. In a 1992 article in the Washington Report for Middle East Affairs, Findley described the alleged scheme and how it was revealed.</p>
<p>Findley wrote that the U.S. Secret Service had received a warning that elements of Israel’s spy agency might target Bush when he went to Madrid for the opening day of the peace conference to be held that year.</p>
<p>According to Findley, a former Mossad agent named Victor Ostrovsky, who had written a book exposing Israel’s spy agency, told a group of Canadian parliamentarians that he had received secret intelligence suggesting that the “the Mossad’s hatred of Bush — and support for Vice President Dan Quayle — might lead to an attempt on the president’s life.”</p>
<p>Israel considered Quayle much closer to Israel than Bush. Bush had particularly angered Israel by attempting to pressure Israel into ending its illegal settlement expansion on confiscated Palestinian land by withholding loan guarantees until Israel ended this practice.</p>
<p>Findley wrote that Ostrovsky’s statements were relayed to Findley’s friend and former colleague Paul “Pete” McCloskey, a prominent former Republican congressman from California who had recently been named by Bush to the National and Community Service Commission.</p>
<p>McCloskey, a decorated Marine veteran and graduate of Stanford Law School who had at one time been considered a presidential contender, flew to Ottawa to debrief Ostrovsky in person and evaluate his information.</p>
<p>Findley reported that Ostrovsky told McCloskey that the Mossad wanted “to do everything possible to preserve a state of war between Israel and its neighbors, assassinating President Bush, if necessary.” Ostrovsky said that a PR campaign was already underway in both Israel and the United States to “prepare public acceptance of Dan Quayle as president.”</p>
<p>Convinced that Ostrovsky was legitimate and his information significant, McCloskey jumped on the next flight to Washington, where he reported Ostrovsky’s intelligence to the Secret Service and State Department.</p>
<p>The apparent plot never went forward, perhaps because Ostrovsky and McCloskey had given it away.</p>
<p>Ostrovsky gave more details about the plot two years later in his 1994 book, The Other Side of Deception: A Rogue Agent Exposes the Mossad’s Secret Agenda, published by HarperCollins.</p>
<p>In the book, Ostrovsky wrote that an extremist group within Mossad was responsible for the plan. He said they kept the plan secret from then–Israeli Prime MinisterYitzhak Shamir, though they believed that Shamir would have ordered such a hit himself if he hadn’t been constrained by politics. In the lead-up to Israel’s 1948 founding war, Shamir had headed up a terrorist group known for its assassinations.</p>
<p>In his review of Ostrovsky’s book, Ambassador Andrew Killgore, a retired career foreign service officer and publisher of the Washington Report, called the book an “insider’s probing exposé of some Middle East realities that have been hidden too long from all but Israeli eyes.”</p>
<p>Ostrovsky wrote that the Israelis planned a “false flag” operation, in which they would pin the assassination on Palestinians. They kidnapped three Palestinian militants from Beirut who were to be the scapegoats, took them to Israel’s Negev desert, and held them incommunicado.</p>
<p>“Meanwhile,” Killgore writes, “Mossad-generated threats on the president’s life, seemingly from Palestinians, were leaked. These were designed to throw suspicion on the organization of rogue Palestinian terrorist Abu Nidal. Names and descriptions of the three terrorists were leaked to Spanish police so that, if the plot was successful, blame would automatically fall on them.”</p>
<p>Ostrovsky reports that after the assassination plot was eventually canceled, the three Palestinian prisoners were “terminated.”</p>
<p>Targeting Americans</p>
<p>If the plot had gone forward, this would not have been the first time that Israel targeted Americans for death. Nor would it be the first false-flag operation.</p>
<p>• In 1954 the Mossad planned to firebomb American installations, libraries, and other gathering places in Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood was to be blamed for the attacks, thus causing American animosity toward Egypt. An accidental early detonation of one of the devices caused the plot, known as the Lavon Affair, to unravel before it could kill or mutilate the intended Americans.</p>
<p>• In 1967 Israeli air and sea forces perpetrated an almost two-hour assault in which they tried to sink a U.S. Navy ship with a crew of 300. While the attack failed to sink the ship, it succeeded in killing 34 Americans and injuring 174. Some analysts have conjectured that this was also a false-flag operation; it is highly likely that Egypt would have been blamed for the attack if the ship had gone down.</p>
<p>• In 1973 Israeli fighter pilots were ordered to shoot down an unarmed U.S. reconnaissance plane (at the time the U.S. was delivering massive weaponry to Israel to prevent it from losing the “Yom Kippur War” with Egypt and Syria). While the Israelis were unable to reach the altitude of the U.S. plane, they did manage that same year to shoot down a civilian Libyan airliner that had strayed over Israeli territory, killing 104 men, women, and children. One was an American.</p>
<p>• In 1990 a Canadian-American scientist and father of seven, Gerald Bull, was assassinated in Belgium. All indications are that it was an Israeli Mossad hit team that drilled five bullets into the back of his head and neck. (Israel has assassinated a number of scientists of various nationalities. The most recent is a 32-year-old father of a young son from Iran.)</p>
<p>• In 2003 it came out that Israeli leaders had officially decided to undertake assassination operations on U.S. soil. An FBI spokesman, queried about the Israeli plans, said only: “This is a policy matter. We only enforce federal laws.”</p>
<p>• In recent years a growing number of American peace activists have been intentionally killed, maimed, and injured by Israeli forces, including 23-year-old Rachel Corrie, 21-year-old Brian Avery, 37-year-old Tristan Anderson, 21-year-old Emily Henochowicz, and 21-year-old Furkan Dogan.</p>
<p>All of this has been minimally reported in the U.S. press. While major news organizations from England to Israel to Australia covered the Jewish Times’ apparent endorsement of a possible Israeli assassination of a U.S. president, the scandal has been largely missing from U.S. media. Even Atlanta’s AP bureau inexplicably initially decided not to write a report on it, only finally sending out a story many days later.</p>
<p>Such news omissions concerning Israeli partisans are not rare. In 2004 a fanatic Israel loyalist wrote a letter saying that he was going to burn down Presbyterian churcheswhile worshippers were inside (he was furious at the Presbyterian Church’s decision to divest from companies profiting from the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian land). This grisly threat also received minimal media play.</p>
<p>Despite Israeli violence against Americans (even while American taxpayers have given far more of our tax money to Israel than to any other nation) American presidential candidates, with the exception of Ron Paul, continue to vie over who is most devoted to Israel.</p>
<p>It is ironic that Adler considers Obama so bad for Israel, given that Israeli analystshave rated him second only to Mitt Romney in his fidelity to Israel. And Obama has now released a seven-minute video that may catapult our first African-American president into first place in pandering to an apartheid nation.</p>
<p>Perhaps he’ll be safe from assassins.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BEHIND CLOSED DOORS AT 10 DOWNING STREET: A Crucial Behind the Scenes Episode in the Run-up to the Illegal War with Iraq</p>
<p>by Dr. Stephen Frost</p>
<p>The Iraq War &#8230; Lord Goldsmith &#8220;pinned to the wall&#8221; (Chilcot Inquiry) by Lord Falconer and Baroness Morgan (all three unelected) at a meeting without minutes at 10 Downing Street</p>
<p>Lord Goldsmith, Lord Falconer, Baroness Morgan (all three unelected) and their crucial roles in waging war on Iraq. </p>
<p>1) Lord Boyce, the then Chief of the British Armed Forces, after seeking his own private legal advice, formally sought an assurance from Tony Blair on 13 March 2003 that the proposed imminent waging of war on Iraq would be legal. </p>
<p>2) Lord Goldsmith, the then Attorney General, was asked to attend a meeting (unminuted) at 10 Downing Street later that same day with Lord Falconer (the then Lord Chancellor and Minister for Constitutional Affairs, and best friend of and fixer-in-chief for Tony Blair) and Baroness Morgan. I believe Lord Falconer lied on BBC&#8217;s Question Time when he claimed that Lord Goldsmith had asked for that meeting &#8230; it was OBVIOUSLY the other way around. </p>
<p>3) Lord Goldsmith gave the impression in his evidence to the Butler Inquiry (see transcript) that he had NOT written the crucial 17 March 2003 legal advice which was presented in the form of a Parliamentary Answer. I believe Lord Goldsmith lied in the run-up to the 2005 General Election when, under intense pressure, he DENIED that he had NOT written it. It is thought that Lord Falconer and Baroness Morgan wrote the infamous 17 March 2003 Parliamentary Answer (on a single sheet of A4) which represented the final legal advice (and crucially was the only legal advice shown to Cabinet and Lord Boyce), devoid of all caveats present in Goldsmith&#8217;s 7 March 2003 written legal advice, purporting to be a summary of the 7 March 2003 advice when it was no such thing, the 7 March 2003 advice itself representing Goldsmith&#8217;s FIRST change of mind. </p>
<p>Goldsmith tried to claim in evidence to Chilcot that his mind had been changed by the Americans when he visited the US &#8230; Bellingham said that they (the Americans) had had trouble with our (the UK&#8217;s) Attorney General but that they had got him there in the end (or similar). In fact, the second MUCH MORE IMPORTANT change of mind was forced on Goldsmith by Falconer and Morgan. Goldsmith should have resigned &#8230; had he done so Blair could not (and Boyce would not) have gone to war, and (whatever the US says now) that would have prevented the US from going to war, because Blair had been used by the US to legitimise the war in the eyes of the American public. </p>
<p>So, it turns out that Goldsmith (a lawyer, bound by professional standards) was arguably the most culpable of all in enabling the US, the UK, Australia, Denmark and Poland to wage aggressive war on a sovereign state, thereby committing &#8220;the supreme international war crime&#8221; according to the Geneva Conventions (as well as being clearly illegal according to the United Nations Charter). And, not only was that war crime committed, there was also a conspiracy to concoct the legal advice (in addition to a conspiracy to concoct the Intelligence) to enable the crime to be committed, and of course after the crime had been committed there were numerous conspiracies to cover up the crime and all the resulting crimes. </p>
<p>To clarify, the Intelligence was concocted to create the impression that Iraq was &#8220;a clear and immediate threat to the United Kingdom&#8221; but many including Lord Boyce were highly sceptical, so it was necessary at a very late stage (in panic) to lean on Lord Goldsmith (to pin him to the wall) to allow the legal advice to be concocted (and remember Goldsmith was not an international law expert, unlike the lawyers at the Foreign Office, Wood, Wilmshurst et al., who all took the view that the war would be illegal).</p>
<p>Many say now that international law is not clear. That argument matters not one jot. The inescapable fact is that had Goldsmith resigned on 13 March 2003, as he should have done as a member of the legal profession if for no other reason, there would have been no war on Iraq. </p>

<p>INTRODUCTION </p>
<p>The World is at a critical crossroads. The Fukushima disaster in Japan has brought to the forefront the dangers of Worldwide nuclear radiation. </p>
<p>The crisis in Japan has been described as &#8220;a nuclear war without a war&#8221;. In the words of renowned novelist Haruki Murakami: </p>
<p>&#8220;This time no one dropped a bomb on us &#8230; We set the stage, we committed the crime with our own hands, we are destroying our own lands, and we are destroying our own lives.&#8221; </p>
<p>Nuclear radiation &#8211;which threatens life on planet earth&#8211; is not front page news in comparison to the most insignificant issues of public concern, including the local level crime scene or the tabloid gossip reports on Hollywood celebrities.  </p>
<p>While the long-term repercussions of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster are yet to be fully assessed, they are far more serious than those pertaining to the 1986 Chernobyl disaster in the Ukraine, which resulted in almost one million deaths (New Book Concludes &#8211; Chernobyl death toll: 985,000, mostly from cancer Global Research, September 10, 2010, See also Matthew Penney and Mark Selden  The Severity of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Disaster: Comparing Chernobyl and Fukushima, Global Research, May 25, 2011)</p>
<p> Moreover, while all eyes were riveted on the Fukushima Daiichi plant, news coverage both in Japan and internationally failed to fully acknowledge the impacts of a second catastrophe at TEPCO&#8217;s (Tokyo Electric Power Co  Inc) Fukushima Daini nuclear power plant.</p>
<p>The shaky political consensus both in Japan, the U.S. and Western Europe is that the crisis at Fukushima has been contained. </p>
<p>The realties, however, are otherwise. Fukushima 3 was leaking unconfirmed amounts of plutonium. According to Dr. Helen Caldicott, &#8220;One millionth of a gram of plutonium ingested causes cancer&#8221;.   </p>
<p>An opinion poll in May 2011 confirmed that more than 80 per cent of the Japanese population do not believe the government&#8217;s information regarding the nuclear crisis. (quoted in Sherwood Ross, Fukushima: Japan&#8217;s Second Nuclear Disaster, Global Research, November 10, 2011)</p>
<p>The Impacts in Japan</p>
<p>The Japanese government has been obliged to acknowledge that &#8220;the severity rating of its nuclear crisis &#8230; matches that of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster&#8221;. In a bitter irony, however, this tacit admission by the Japanese authorities has proven to been part of  the cover-up of a significantly larger catastrophe, resulting in a process of global nuclear radiation and contamination: </p>
<p>&#8220;While Chernobyl was an enormous unprecedented disaster, it only occurred at one reactor and rapidly melted down. Once cooled, it was able to be covered with a concrete sarcophagus that was constructed with 100,000 workers. There are a staggering 4400 tons of nuclear fuel rods at Fukushima, which greatly dwarfs the total size of radiation sources at Chernobyl.&#8221; ( Extremely High Radiation Levels in Japan: University Researchers Challenge Official Data, Global Research, April 11, 2011)</p>
<p>Fukushima in the wake of the Tsunami, March 2011</p>
<p>Worldwide Contamination</p>
<p>The dumping of highly radioactive water into the Pacific Ocean constitutes a potential trigger to a process of global radioactive contamination. Radioactive elements have not only been detected in the food chain in Japan, radioactive rain water has been recorded in California: </p>
<p>&#8220;Hazardous radioactive elements being released in the sea and air around Fukushima accumulate at each step of various food chains (for example, into algae, crustaceans, small fish, bigger fish, then humans; or soil, grass, cow&#8217;s meat and milk, then humans). Entering the body, these elements &#8211; called internal emitters &#8211; migrate to specific organs such as the thyroid, liver, bone, and brain, continuously irradiating small volumes of cells with high doses of alpha, beta and/or gamma radiation, and over many years often induce cancer&#8221;. (Helen Caldicott, Fukushima: Nuclear Apologists Play Shoot the Messenger on Radiation, The Age,  April 26, 2011)</p>
<p>While the spread of radiation to the West Coast of North America was casually acknowledged, the early press reports (AP and Reuters) &#8220;quoting diplomatic sources&#8221; stated that only &#8220;tiny amounts of radioactive particles have arrived in California but do not pose a threat to human health.&#8221; </p>
<p>&#8220;According to the news agencies, the unnamed sources have access to data from a network of measuring stations run by the United Nations’ Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization. &#8230;  </p>
<p>&#8230; Greg Jaczko, chair of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, told White House reporters on Thursday (March 17) that his experts “don’t see any concern from radiation levels that could be harmful here in the United States or any of the U.S. territories”. </p>
<p>The spread of radiation. March 2011 </p>
<p>Public Health Disaster. Economic Impacts</p>
<p>What prevails is a well organized camouflage. The public health disaster in Japan, the contamination of water, agricultural land and the food chain, not to mention the broader economic and social implications, have neither been fully acknowledged nor addressed in a comprehensive and meaningful fashion by the Japanese authorities.  </p>
<p> Japan as a nation state has been destroyed. Its landmass and territorial waters are contaminated. Part of the country is uninhabitable. High levels of radiation have been recorded in the Tokyo metropolitan area, which has a population of  39 million (2010) (more than the population of Canada, circa 34 million (2010)) There are indications that the food chain is contaminated throughout Japan: </p>
<p>Radioactive cesium exceeding the legal limit was detected in tea made in a factory in Shizuoka City, more than 300 kilometers away from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. Shizuoka Prefecture is one of the most famous tea producing areas in Japan. </p>
<p>A tea distributor in Tokyo reported to the prefecture that it detected high levels of radioactivity in the tea shipped from the city. The prefecture ordered the factory to refrain from shipping out the product. After the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, radioactive contamination of tea leaves and processed tea has been found over a wide area around Tokyo. (See 5 More Companies Detect Radiation In Their Tea Above Legal Limits Over 300 KM From Fukushima, June 15, 2011) </p>
<p>Japan&#8217;s industrial and manufacturing base is prostrate. Japan is no longer a leading industrial power. The country&#8217;s exports have plummeted. The Tokyo government has announced its first trade deficit since 1980. </p>
<p>While the business media has narrowly centered on the impacts of power outages and energy shortages on the pace of productive activity, the broader issue pertaining to the outright radioactive contamination of the country&#8217;s infrastructure and industrial base is a &#8220;scientific taboo&#8221; (i.e the radiation of industrial plants, machinery and equipment, buildings, roads, etc). A report released in January 2012 points to the nuclear contamination of building materials used in the construction industry, in cluding roads and residential buildings throughout Japan.(See  FUKUSHIMA: Radioactive Houses and Roads in Japan. Radioactive Building Materials Sold to over 200 Construction Companies, January 2012) </p>
<p>A &#8220;coverup report&#8221; by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (May 2011), entitled &#8220;Economic Impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Current Status of Recovery&#8221;  presents &#8220;Economic Recovery&#8221; as a fait accompli. It also brushes aside the issue of radiation. The impacts of nuclear radiation on the work force and the country&#8217;s industrial base are not mentioned. The report states that the distance between Tokyo -Fukushima Dai-ichi  is of the order of 230 km (about 144 miles) and that the levels of radiation in Tokyo are lower than in Hong Kong and New York City.(Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Current Status of Recovery, p.15). This statement is made without corroborating evidence and in overt contradiction with independent radiation readings in Tokyo (se map below). In recent developments, Sohgo Security Services Co. is launching a lucrative &#8220;radiation measurement service targeting households in Tokyo and four surrounding prefectures&#8221;.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>&#8220;A map of citizens&#8217; measured radiation levels shows radioactivity is distributed in a complex pattern reflecting the mountainous terrain and the shifting winds across a broad area of Japan north of Tokyo which is in the center of the of bottom of the map.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Radiation limits begin to be exceeded at just above 0.1 microsieverts/ hour blue. Red is about fifty times the civilian radiation limit at 5.0 microsieverts/hour. Because children are much more sensitive than adults, these results are a great concern for parents of young children in potentially affected areas.</p>

<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>The fundamental question is whether the vast array of industrial goods and components &#8220;Made in Japan&#8221; &#8212; including hi tech components, machinery, electronics, motor vehicles, etc &#8212; and exported Worldwide are contaminated? Were this to be the case, the entire East and Southeast Asian industrial base &#8211;which depends heavily on Japanese components and industrial technology&#8211; would be affected. The potential impacts on international trade would be farreaching. In this regard, in January, Russian officials confiscated irradiated Japanese automobiles and autoparts in the port of Vladivostok for sale in the Russian Federation. Needless to say, incidents of this nature in a global competitive environment, could lead to the demise of the Japanese automobile industry which is already in crisis. </p>
<p>While most of the automotive industry is in central Japan, Nissan&#8217;s engine factory in Iwaki city is 42 km from the Fukushima Daiichi plant. Is the Nissan work force affected? Is the engine plant contaminated? The plant is within about 10 to 20 km of the government&#8217;s &#8220;evacuation zone&#8221; from which some 200,000 people were evacuated (see map below). </p>
<p>Nuclear Energy and Nuclear War </p>
<p>The crisis in Japan has also brought into the open the unspoken relationship between nuclear energy and nuclear war. </p>
<p>Nuclear energy is not a civilian economic activity. It is an appendage of the nuclear weapons industry which is controlled by the so-called defense contractors. The powerful corporate interests behind nuclear energy and nuclear weapons overlap. </p>
<p>In Japan at the height of the disaster, &#8220;the nuclear industry and government agencies [were] scrambling to prevent the discovery of atomic-bomb research facilities hidden inside Japan&#8217;s civilian nuclear power plants&#8221;.1  (See Yoichi Shimatsu, Secret Weapons Program Inside Fukushima Nuclear Plant? Global Research,  April 12, 2011)</p>
<p>It should be noted that the complacency of both the media and the governments to the hazards of nuclear radiation pertains to the nuclear energy industry as well as to to use of nuclear weapons. In both cases, the devastating health impacts of nuclear radiation are casually denied. Tactical nuclear weapons with an explosive capacity of up to six times a Hiroshima bomb are labelled by the Pentagon as &#8220;safe for the surrounding civilian population&#8221;. </p>
<p>No concern has been expressed at the political level as to the likely consequences of a US-NATO-Israel attack on Iran, using &#8220;safe for civilians&#8221; tactical nuclear weapons against a non-nuclear state. </p>
<p>Such an action would result in &#8220;the unthinkable&#8221;: a nuclear holocaust over a large part of the Middle East and Central Asia. A nuclear nightmare, however, would occur even if nuclear weapons were not used. The bombing of Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities using conventional weapons would contribute to unleashing another Fukushima type disaster with extensive radioactive fallout.

<p> Nuclear Radiation: Categorization</p>
<p>At Fukushima, reports confirm that alpha, beta, gamma particles and neutrons have been released:  </p>
<p>&#8220;While non-ionizing radiation and x-rays are a result of electron transitions in atoms or molecules, there are three forms of ionizing radiation that are a result of activity within the nucleus of an atom.  These forms of nuclear radiation are alpha particles (α-particles), beta particles (β-particles) and gamma rays (γ-rays).</p>
<p>Alpha particles are heavy positively charged particles made up of two protons and two neutrons.  They are essentially a helium nucleus and are thus represented in a nuclear equation by either α or .  See the Alpha Decay page for more information on alpha particles.</p>
<p>Beta particles come in two forms:  and .  particles are just electrons that have been ejected from the nucleus.  This is a result of sub-nuclear reactions that result in a neutron decaying to a proton.  The electron is needed to conserve charge and comes from the nucleus.  It is not an orbital electron.  particles are positrons ejected from the nucleus when a proton decays to a neutron.  A positron is an anti-particle that is similar in nearly all respects to an electron, but has a positive charge.  See the Beta Decay page for more information on beta particles.</p>
<p>Gamma rays are photons of high energy electromagnetic radiation (light).  Gamma rays generally have the highest frequency and shortest wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum.  There is some overlap in the frequencies of gamma rays and x-rays; however, x-rays are formed from electron transitions while gamma rays are formed from nuclear transitions. See the Gamma Rays  for more&#8221; (SOURCE: Canadian Nuclear Association)</p>
<p>&#8220;A neutron is a particle that is found in the nucleus, or center, of atoms. It has a mass very close to protons, which also reside in the nucleus of atoms. Together, they make up almost all of the mass of individual atoms. Each has a mass of about 1 amu, which is roughly 1.6×10-27kg. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge, which is why they were more difficult to discover.&#8221; (SOURCE: Neutron Radiation)</p>
<p>&#8220;Many different radioactive isotopes are used in or are produced by nuclear reactors. The most important of these are described below: </p>
<p>1. Uranium 235 (U-235) is the active component of most nuclear reactor fuel. </p>
<p>2. Plutonium (Pu-239) is a key nuclear material used in modern nuclear weapons and is also present as a by-product in certain reprocessed fuels used in some nuclear reactors. Pu-239 is also produced in uranium reactors as a byproduct of fission of U-235. </p>
<p>3. Cesium (Cs-137 ) is a fission product of U-235. It emits beta and gamma radiation and can cause radiation sickness and death if exposures are high enough. &#8230;</p>
<p>4. Iodine 131 (I-131), also a fission product of U-235, emits beta and gamma radiation. After inhalation or ingestion, it is absorbed by and concentrated in the thyroid gland, where its beta radiation damages nearby thyroid tissue  (SOURCE: Amesh A. Adalja, MD, Eric S.

<p>We must not allow anyone to push us into a war with Iran.</p>
<p>Wesley Clark told Arianna Huffington about the push for war on Iran, &#8220;How can you talk about bombing a country when you won&#8217;t even talk to them?&#8221; said Clark. &#8220;It&#8217;s outrageous. We&#8217;re the United States of America; we don&#8217;t do that.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When we asked him what made him so sure the Bush administration was headed in this direction, he replied: &#8220;You just have to read what&#8217;s in the Israeli press. The Jewish community is divided but there is so much pressure being channeled from the New York money people to the office seekers.&#8221;" </p>
<p>&#8220;For Clark, this is the biggest foreign policy issue facing the U.S. &#8220;I&#8217;m worried about the surge,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But I&#8217;m worried about this even more.&#8221;", Huffington wrote on her blog.</p>
<p>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/arianna-huffington/dc-notes-wes-clark-is-_b_378&#8230;</p>
<p>In his article, Eric Alterman warns about the push for President Bush to attack Iran. About Wesley Clark&#8217;s concern that the attack is being pushed by &#8220;New York money people,&#8221; Alterman writes, &#8220;I agree with Clark, but I agree that he also said what he said badly, though not anti-Semitically.&#8221;</p>
<p>Alterman warns, &#8220;The Bush administration is clearly attempting to create a pretext to attack Iran&#8221; &#8230; [this would result in] inciting worldwide terrorist attacks against Americans and their properties around the world, including inside the United States &#8230; this being the Bush administration, you can count on it being done incompetently and dishonestly.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Criticize the neocons for what they are actually doing &#8212; or even use the word &#8220;neocon&#8221; &#8212; and you&#8217;re an anti-Semite. That means they get to keep doing it even if it means they are acting on behalf of what they believe are Israel&#8217;s interests &#8230; rather than America&#8217;s.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We saw during the Lieberman primary that The Weekly Standard actually does care more about what&#8217;s good for Israel than for America &#8212; they said American Jews should behave that way, and so do Newsweek&#8217;s embarrassingly crazy Rabbi Gelman and Mona Charen and a few others. If anyone on earth thinks Marty Peretz cares more about the fate of the goyim in America than the heroes in Israel, I&#8217;ve never met him or her &#8230; if you read this excellent New York Times Magazine piece on Abe Foxman, you&#8217;ll get a small inkling of how the system works.&#8221; </p>
<p>http://mediamatters.org/altercation/200701160005</p>
<p>On Bloggingheads, Alterman said, &#8220;Wesley Clark, used probably some incautious language, when he said that New York money men, which many people interpret to mean Jews, were pushing us to war with Iran. However, Jews, in New York, who have a lot of money, are in fact pushing us to war with Iran. It was a factually true statement. AIPAC is pushing us to war with Iran. AIPAC is the reason that no Democrats are coming out strongly against war with Iran. AIPAC&#8217;s funding is extremely wealthy American Jews and AIPAC is pushing for war with Iran. So, when people go to Democratic politicians and they say &#8220;listen, I don&#8217;t want you gettin&#8217; out in front and opposing war with Iran, particularly since you have national aspirations,&#8221; they don&#8217;t say it in the New York Times.&#8221; &#8211; Wesley Clark and the anti-Semitism charge</p>

<p>Before 1979, the U.S. strongly supported Iran&#8217;s nuclear energy programs. Mainstream media is helping sell another illegal war. The way they do this is mainly by not reporting things or under-reporting things.<br />
&#8220;Introduction of nuclear power will both provide for the growing needs of Iran&#8217;s economy and free remaining oil reserves for export or conversion to petrochemicals&#8221; &#8211; Henry Kissinger, Secretary of State for President Ford</p>

<p>&#8220;It is not amazing at all, the pick-and-choose approach of highlighting the misinterpreted remarks of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in October and ignoring this month&#8217;s remarks by Iran&#8217;s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, that &#8216;We have no problem with the world. We are not a threat whatsoever to the world, and the world knows it. We will never start a war. We have no intention of going to war with any state.&#8217;&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;There is no new policy,&#8221; Ahmadinejad said. &#8220;They created a lot of hue and cry over that.&#8221; Ahmadinejad added, &#8220;It is clear what we say: Let the Palestinians participate in free elections and they will say what they want.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>US thinktanks give lessons in foreign policy</p>
<p>Brian Whitaker reports on the network of research institutes whose views and TV appearances are supplanting all other experts on Middle Eastern issues</p>
<p>  guardian.co.uk, Monday 19 August 2002 13.24</p>
<p> BST Article history A little-known fact about Richard Perle, the leading advocate of hardline policies at the Pentagon, is that he once wrote a political thriller. The book, appropriately called Hard Line, is set in the days of the cold war with the Soviet Union. Its hero is a male senior official at the Pentagon, working late into the night and battling almost single-handedly to rescue the US from liberal wimps at the state department who want to sign away America&#8217;s nuclear deterrent in a disarmament deal with the Russians.<br />
Ten years on Mr Perle finds himself cast in the real-life role of his fictional hero &#8211; except that the Russians are no longer a threat, so he has to make do with the Iraqis, the Saudis and terrorism in general. </p>
<p>In real life too, Mr Perle is not fighting his battle single-handed. Around him there is a cosy and cleverly-constructed network of Middle East &#8220;experts&#8221; who share his neo-conservative outlook and who pop up as talking heads on US television, in newspapers, books, testimonies to congressional committees, and at lunchtime gatherings in Washington. </p>
<p>The network centres on research institutes &#8211; thinktanks that attempt to influence government policy and are funded by tax-deductible gifts from unidentified donors. </p>
<p>When he is not too busy at the Pentagon, or too busy running Hollinger Digital &#8211; part of the group that publishes the Daily Telegraph in Britain &#8211; or at board meetings of the Jerusalem Post, Mr Perle is &#8220;resident fellow&#8221; at one of the thinktanks &#8211; the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). </p>
<p>Mr Perle&#8217;s close friend and political ally at AEI is David Wurmser, head of its Middle East studies department. Mr Perle helpfully wrote the introduction to Mr Wurmser&#8217;s book, Tyranny&#8217;s Ally: America&#8217;s Failure to Defeat Saddam Hussein. </p>
<p>Mr Wurmser&#8217;s wife, Meyrav, is co-founder, along with Colonel Yigal Carmon, formerly of Israeli military intelligence &#8211; of the Middle East Media Research Institute (Memri), which specialises in translating and distributing articles that show Arabs in a bad light. </p>
<p>She also holds strong views on leftwing Israeli intellectuals, whom she regards as a threat to Israel (see &#8220;Selective Memri&#8221;, Guardian Unlimited, August 12, 2002). </p>
<p>Ms Wurmser currently runs the Middle East section at another thinktank &#8211; the Hudson Institute, where Mr Perle recently joined the board of trustees. In addition, Ms Wurmser belongs to an organisation called the Middle East Forum. </p>
<p>Michael Rubin, a specialist on Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan, who recently arrived from yet another thinktank, the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, assists Mr Perle and Mr Wurmser at AEI. Mr Rubin also belongs to the Middle East Forum. </p>
<p>Another Middle East scholar at AEI is Laurie Mylroie, author of Saddam Hussein&#8217;s Unfinished War Against America, which expounds a rather daft theory that Iraq was behind the 1993 World Trade Centre bombing. </p>
<p>When the book was published by the AEI, Mr Perle hailed it as &#8220;splendid and wholly convincing&#8221;. </p>
<p>An earlier book on Iraq Saddam Hussein and the Crisis in the Gulf which Ms Mylroie co-authored with Judith Miller, a New York Times journalist, became the New York Times&#8217;s No 1 bestseller. </p>
<p>Ms Mylroie and Ms Miller both have connections with the Middle East Forum. Mr Perle, Mr Rubin, Ms Wurmser, Ms Mylroie and Ms Miller are all clients of Eleana Benador, a Peruvian-born linguist who acts as a sort of theatrical agent for experts on the Middle East and terrorism, organising their TV appearances and speaking engagements. </p>
<p>Of the 28 clients on Ms Benador&#8217;s books, at least nine are connected with the AEI, the Washington Institute and the Middle East Forum. </p>
<p>Although these three privately-funded organisations promote views from only one end of the political spectrum, the amount of exposure that they get with their books, articles and TV appearances is extraordinary. </p>
<p>The Washington Institute, for example, takes the credit for placing up to 90 articles written by its members &#8211; mainly &#8220;op-ed&#8221; pieces &#8211; in newspapers during the last year. </p>
<p>Fourteen of those appeared in the Los Angeles Times, nine in New Republic, eight in the Wall Street Journal, eight in the Jerusalem Post, seven in the National Review Online, six in the Daily Telegraph, six in the Washington Post, four in the New York Times and four in the Baltimore Sun. Of the total, 50 were written by Michael Rubin. </p>
<p>Anyone who has tried offering op-ed articles to a major newspaper will appreciate the scale of this achievement. </p>
<p>The media attention bestowed on these thinktanks is not for want of other experts in the field. American universities have about 1,400 full-time faculty members specialising in the Middle East. </p>
<p>Of those, an estimated 400-500 are experts on some aspect of contemporary politics in the region, but their views are rarely sought or heard, either by the media or government. </p>
<p>&#8220;I see a parade of people from these institutes coming through as talking heads [on cable TV]. I very seldom see a professor from a university on those shows,&#8221; says Juan Cole, professor of history at Michigan University, who is a critic of the private institutes. </p>
<p>&#8220;Academics [at universities] are involved in analysing what&#8217;s going on but they&#8217;re not advocates, so they don&#8217;t have the same impetus,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;The expertise on the Middle East that exists in the universities is not being utilised, even for basic information.&#8221; </p>
<p>Of course, very few academics have agents like Eleana Benador to promote their work and very few are based in Washington &#8211; which can make arranging TV appearances , or rubbing shoulders with state department officials a bit difficult. </p>
<p>Those who work for US thinktanks are often given university-style titles such as &#8220;senior fellow&#8221;, or &#8220;adjunct scholar&#8221;, but their research is very different from that of universities &#8211; it is entirely directed towards shaping government policy. </p>
<p>What nobody outside the thinktanks knows, however, is who pays for this policy-shaping research. </p>
<p>Under US law, large donations given to non-profit, &#8220;non-partisan&#8221; organisations such as thinktanks must be itemised in their annual &#8220;form 990&#8243; returns to the tax authorities. But the identity of donors does not need to be made public. </p>
<p>The AEI, which deals with many other issues besides the Middle East, had assets of $35.8m (£23.2m) and an income of $24.5m in 2000, according to its most recent tax return. </p>
<p>It received seven donations of $1m or above in cash or shares, the highest being $3.35m. </p>
<p>The Washington Institute, which deals only with Middle East policy, had assets of $11.2m and an income of $4.1m in 2000. The institute says its donors are identifiable because they are also its trustees, but the list of trustees contains 239 names which makes it impossible to distinguish large benefactors from small ones. </p>
<p>The smaller Middle East Forum had an income of less than $1.5m in 2000, with the largest single donation amounting to $355,000. </p>
<p>In terms of their ability to influence policy, thinktanks have several advantages over universities. To begin with they can hire staff without committee procedures, which allows them to build up teams of researchers that share a similar political orientation. </p>
<p>They can also publish books themselves without going through the academic refereeing processes required by university publishers. And they usually site themselves in Washington, close to government and the media. </p>
<p>Apart from influencing policy on the Middle East, the Washington Institute and the Middle East Forum recently launched a campaign to discredit university departments that specialise in the region. </p>
<p>After September 11, when various government agencies realised there was a shortage of Americans who could speak Arabic, there were moves to beef up the relevant university departments. </p>
<p>But Martin Kramer, of the Washington Institute, Middle East Forum and former director of the Moshe Dayan Centre at Tel Aviv university, had other ideas. </p>
<p>He produced a vitriolic book Ivory Towers on Sand, which criticised Middle East departments of universities in the US. </p>
<p>His book was published by the Washington Institute and warmly reviewed in the Weekly Standard, whose editor, William Kristol, was a member of the Middle East Forum along with Mr Kramer. </p>
<p>&#8220;Kramer has performed a crucial service by exposing intellectual rot in a scholarly field of capital importance to national wellbeing,&#8221; the review said. </p>
<p>The Washington Institute is considered the most influential of the Middle East thinktanks, and the one that the state department takes most seriously. Its director is the former US diplomat, Dennis Ross. </p>
<p>Besides publishing books and placing newspaper articles, the institute has a number of other activities that for legal purposes do not constitute lobbying, since this would change its tax status. </p>
<p>It holds lunches and seminars, typically about three times a week, where ideas are exchanged and political networking takes place. It has also given testimony to congressional committees nine times in the last five years. </p>
<p>Every four years, it convenes a &#8220;bipartisan blue-ribbon commission&#8221; known as the Presidential study group, which presents a blueprint for Middle East policy to the newly-elected president. </p>
<p>The institute makes no secret of its extensive links with Israel, which currently include the presence of two scholars from the Israeli armed forces. </p>
<p>Israel is an ally and the connection is so well known that officials and politicians take it into account when dealing with the institute. But it would surely be a different matter if the ally concerned were a country such as Egypt, Pakistan or Saudi Arabia.</p>
<p>Apart from occasional lapses, such as the publication of Mr Kramer&#8217;s book, the Washington Institute typically represents the considered, sober voice of American-Israeli conservatism. </p>
<p>The Middle East Forum is its strident voice &#8211; two different tones, but mostly the same people. </p>
<p>Three prominent figures from the Washington Institute &#8211; Robert Satloff (director of policy), Patrick Clawson (director of research) and Mr Rubin (prolific writer, currently at AEI) &#8211; also belong to the forum. </p>
<p>Daniel Pipes, the bearded $100,000-a-year head of the forum is listed as an &#8220;associate&#8221; at the institute, while Mr Kramer, editor of the forum&#8217;s journal, is a &#8220;visiting fellow&#8221;. </p>
<p>Mr Pipes became the bete noire of US Muslim organisations after writing an article for the National Review in 1990 that referred to &#8220;massive immigration of brown-skinned peoples cooking strange foods and not exactly maintaining Germanic standards of hygiene&#8221;. </p>
<p>Since he usually complains vigorously when the words are quoted outside their original context, readers are invited to view the full article at www.danielpipes.org. He is also noted for his combative performances on the Fox News channel, where he has an interesting business relationship. Search for his name on the Fox News website and, along with transcripts of his TV interviews, an advert appears saying &#8220;Daniel Pipes is available thru Barber &amp; Associates, America&#8217;s leading resource for business, international and technology speakers since 1977&#8243;. </p>
<p>The Middle East Forum issues two regular publications, the Middle East Quarterly and the Middle East Intelligence Bulletin, the latter published jointly with the United States Committee for a Free Lebanon. </p>
<p>The Middle East Quarterly describes itself as &#8220;a bold, insightful, and controversial publication&#8221;. </p>
<p>Among the insights in its latest issue is an article on weapons of mass destruction that says Syria &#8220;has more destructive capabilities&#8221; than Iraq, or Iran. </p>
<p>The Middle East Intelligence Bulletin, which is sent out by email free of charge &#8211; but can never-the-less afford to pay its contributors &#8211; specialises in covering the seamy side of Lebanese and Syrian politics. The ever-active Mr Rubin is on its editorial board. </p>
<p>The Middle East Forum also targets universities through its campus speakers Bureau &#8211; that in adopting the line of Mr Kramer&#8217;s book, seeks to correct &#8220;inaccurate Middle Eastern curricula in American education&#8221;, by addressing &#8220;biases&#8221; and &#8220;basic errors&#8221; and providing &#8220;better information&#8221; than students can get from the many &#8220;irresponsible&#8221; professors that it believes lurk in US universities. </p>
<p>At a time when much of the world is confused by what it sees as an increasingly bizarre set of policies on the Middle East coming from Washington, to understand the neat little network outlined above may make such policies a little more explicable. </p>
<p>Of course these people and organisations are not the only ones trying to influence US policy on the Middle East. There are others who try to influence it too &#8211; in different directions. </p>
<p>However, this particular network is operating in a political climate that is currently especially receptive to its ideas. </p>
<p>It is also well funded by its anonymous benefactors and is well organised. Ideas sown by one element are watered and nurtured by the others. </p>
<p>Whatever outsiders may think about this, worldly-wise Americans see no cause for disquiet. It&#8217;s just a coterie of like-minded chums going about their normal business, and an everyday story of political life in Washington. </p>

Richard Perle has been accused of spying for Israel on multiple occasions over a period of 4 decades, getting away the whole time with criminal activities. 9/11 is what happens when you let very powerful criminals get away with past terrorism and treason. Perle calls out the Anthrax attacks that happen weeks later, with a smile. When Perle was working for Senator Scoop Jackson, he was investigated by the Justice Department and found to have violated US policies relating to unlawful transmission of sensitive classified US information to Israel. Caught SPYING!!!!!!</p>
<p>&#8220;An FBI summary of a 1970 wiretap recorded Perle discussing classified information with someone at the Israeli embassy,&#8221; writes Paul Findley (They Dare To Speak Out, Chicago, Ill, Lawrence Hill Books 1989).&#8221;He came under fire in 1983 when newspapers reported he received substantial payments to represent the interests of an Israeli weapons company. Perle denied conflict of interest, insisting that, although he received payment for these services after he had assumed his position in the Defense Department, he was between government jobs when he worked for the Israeli firm.&#8221;</p>
<p>In other words, Richard Perle is an Israeli spy.</p>
<p>Perle should be expatriated immediately &#8212; or made to share a cell with Jonathan Pollard, the spy who spent 18 months collecting and selling classified American intelligence to Israel from his position in U.S. Naval Intelligence. So pleased were the Israelis with the information passed on to them, two of the four government officials who had dealt with Pollard were promoted (Col. Aviem Sella, Pollard,s primary contact, was given full control of a major Israeli Air Force base). So arrogant are the Israelis that Sharon asked Bush to pardon and release Pollard. </p>
<p>In sworn testimony to attorneys on Aug. 8, Sibel Edmonds described a Pentagon where key personnel helped pass defense secrets to foreign agents or provided them names of knowledgeable officials who were vulnerable to blackmail or co-option.</p>
<p>And firmly rooted in this espionage program in the 1990s, according to Edmonds&#8217; deposition, were two men who, with the election of George W. Bush as president in 2000, found themselves in the Pentagon: Douglas Feith, who would head the Office of Special Plans, and Richard Perle, who would become chairman of the Defense Advisory Board.</p>
<p>&#8220;They were 100 percent directly involved,&#8221; Edmonds told Military.com. &#8220;They were not in the Pentagon [in the late 1990s] but they had their people inside the Pentagon.&#8221; One of those people, she said, was Larry Franklin, an Air Force officer assigned to the Office of Special Plans who, in 2003, passed classified information to representatives of the American Israel Public Affairs Office, or AIPAC. By then Feith was leading the OSP.</p>
<p>Edmonds cautioned that she does not know if these practices are continuing, since she was fired by the FBI in April 2002 after pressing for an investigation into an attempt by a colleague to recruit her for an organization that was itself a target of FBI surveillance.</p>
<p>Perle, today a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and board member for or adviser to other think tanks, including the National Institute for Neareast Affairs and the Center for Security Policy, emphatically denied Edmonds&#8217; claims in an interview with Military.com.</p>
<p>&#8220;This woman is a nutcase. Certifiable,&#8221; Perle said. &#8220;She makes wild accusations. She was fired from her job, and has been on a vendetta against &#8230; imagined demons ever since.&#8221; Perle is a double agent SPY that needs to go to prison for life, instead he is raised to a position of authority and allowed to call real facts &#8220;demons&#8221;. Perle is a foreign spy demon backstabber double agent and he needs to pay for his crimes against America, going back to 1970. Scumbags and criminals are chosen and elected to high positions in America because they are corrupt and will favor specific interests, even if they are counter to American beliefs and law.</p>

<p>When he is not too busy at the Pentagon, or too busy running Hollinger Digital &#8211; part of the group that publishes the Daily Telegraph in Britain &#8211; or at board meetings of the Jerusalem Post, Mr Perle is &#8220;resident fellow&#8221; at one of the thinktanks &#8211; the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). </p>
<p>Mr Perle&#8217;s close friend and political ally at AEI is David Wurmser, head of its Middle East studies department. Mr Perle helpfully wrote the introduction to Mr Wurmser&#8217;s book, Tyranny&#8217;s Ally: America&#8217;s Failure to Defeat Saddam Hussein. </p>

<p>Perle is an enemy of the US and it&#8217;s ppl. He was busted giving sensitive secret documents to Israel.﻿ He should&#8217;ve been charged with treason and executed. It amazing that he can get busted and nothing happens to him. When the revolution comes to the US and the military uphold their oath, make sure you don&#8217;t forget this pos traitorous filth and his commrades of infiltrators and criminals</p>
