Israel Rules says ex-Reagan official...

 

President Roosevelt Kept Deadly Disease Hidden for Years
New York Post

... It has long been known that President Franklin D. Roosevelt, during the last year of his life, was gravely ill with serious cardiac problems: He'd been diagnosed with acute heart failure in March 1944 and suffered from astronomically high blood pressure and arteriosclerosis. But what the public did not know was that four years earlier, while still in the second of his four terms as president, FDR had been diagnosed with a deadly skin cancer, melanoma, in a lesion over his left eyebrow. This disease would metastasize to Roosevelt's abdomen and his brain, causing a tumor that eventually killed him on April 12, 1945.


No-Fault Espionage
Philip Giraldi

... Spies are traitors in every sense of the word, unless, of course, if one is spying for Israel. Israel aggressively spies on the US both to influence policy and steal high technology, but getting caught only very rarely has any consequences. Leading neoconservatives like Richard Perle, Douglas Feith, and Stephen Bryen have all been detected in flagrante providing classified information to Israel but the investigations were halted and their security clearances were godfathered so they could continue to hold high office. FBI counter intelligence officer John Cole has reported on the frustration of his colleagues over the many cases of Israeli espionage that are dropped under orders from the Justice Department.


US Public Pensions Face $2,000 Billion Shortfall
The Financial Times (Britain)

The US public pension system faces a higher-than-expected shortfall of more than $2,000 billion [two trillion dollars] that will increase pressure on many states' strained finances and crimp economic growth, according to the chairman of New Jersey's pension fund. The estimate by Orin Kramer will fuel investors' concerns over the deteriorating financial health of US states after the recession. "State and local governments are correctly perceived to be in serious difficulty," Mr Kramer told the Financial Times.


Honest Men
Taki Theodoracopulos -- Takimag

Let's start 2010 right and mention a few honest people in the news... Lastly I read Kevin Mac Donald's Cultural Insurrections, his essays on western civilization, Jewish influence, and anti-Semitism. Jewish influence is a much-discussed subject -- in private, that is. It is seldom the subject of dispassionate scientific analysis. MacDonald does not pull his punches. I read all three books in one week while partying non-stop as the year came to a close.


A Nobel Judge Who Admired Hitler
The Dominion Post -- Stuff (New Zealand)

Sven Hedin was one of Sweden's most famous scientists. Back in the early 1900s he explored Central Asia and Mongolia, and became an international cartographer, hydrographer, photographer and author of popular travel books ... In 1905 Hedin was appointed one of 18 judges on the Nobel Prize Committee. He continued voting on nominees until 1949. In the 1930s, he came to admire Adolf Hitler and often visited him ... "He was a hypnotic talker, a fascinating man. I also made friends with Goebbels, Himmler, Goering and Doenitz."


Where Do Jews Come From?
Evan R. Goldstein -- The Wall Street Journal

... Enter Shlomo Sand. In a new book, "The Invention of the Jewish People," the Tel Aviv University professor of history argues that large numbers of Khazar Jews migrated westward into Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania, where they played a decisive role in the establishment of Eastern European Jewry. The implications are far-reaching: If the bulk of Eastern European Jews are the descendents of Khazars -- not the ancient Israelites -- then most Jews have no ancestral links to Palestine. Put differently: If most Jews are not Semites, then what justification is there for a Jewish state in the Middle East?


Israel Rules
Paul Craig Roberts 
(Ex-Reagan official)

... In the second decade of the 21st century, America's Zionist wars against Islam will expand. America's wars in behalf of Israel's territorial expansion will complete the bankruptcy of America ... America has been brought low, both morally and economically, by its obeisance to the Israel Lobby. Even Jimmy Carter, a former President of the United States and Governor of Georgia recently had to apologize to the Israel Lobby for his honest criticisms of Israel's inhumane treatment of the occupied Palestinians in order for his grandson to be able to run for a seat in the Georgia state senate. This should tell the macho super-power American tough guys who really runs "their" country.


Local Holocaust Museums Grow Amid Worries About Future
Forward (New York)

The numbers speak for themselves: There are now 16 Holocaust museums in the United States, from Albuquerque, N.M., to Houston, to Richmond, Va. And these are just the biggest of nearly 150 Holocaust centers all over the country. The proliferation of museums detailing the story of what happened to European Jewry during World War II has been largely a phenomenon of the 1990s, part of the general increase in Holocaust awareness in the culture at large. But it has by no means slowed.


A Decade of Self-Delusion
Patrick J. Buchanan

... We have a government that cannot balance its books, defend its borders or win its wars. And what is it now doing? Drafting another entitlement program as we are informed that the Social Security and Medicare trust funds have unfunded liabilities in the trillions. At the end of the first decade of the 21st century, the question is not whether we will preside over the creation of a New World Order, but whether America's decline is irreversible.


Why They Hate Us: On Military Occupation
Stephen M. Walt

... The bottom line is that you don't need to be a sociologist, political scientist, or a student of colonialism or foreign cultures to understand why military occupation is such a poisonous activity and why it usually fails. If you're an American, you just need to read a bit about Reconstruction and reflect on how its effects -- along with the effects of slavery itself -- have persisted across generations. If that's not enough, visit a society that is currently experiencing occupation, and take the time to go through a checkpoint or two. Then you might understand why the local population doesn't view the occupying forces as benevolent and isn't as grateful as occupiers often think they ought to be.


Operation Cast Lead: Anniversary of Israel's Gaza Strike
Uri Avnery

... The Gaza War - from the decision to throw the army into a densely populated area to the use of white phosphorus and flechette munitions - has raised a dark cloud over Israel. The Goldstone report, coming as it did after the gruesome pictures broadcast throughout the war by all the world's TV networks, has produced a terrible impression. Hundreds of millions of people saw and heard, and their attitude towards Israel has changed for the worse. This will have far-reaching impact on the decisions of governments, the attitude of the media and in thousands of big and small decisions concerning Israel.


Israelis View Foreign Media as 'Anti-Semitic'
European Jewish Press

Nearly three-quarters of Israelis view the foreign media as being negative towards Israel, according to a recent poll revealed by Professor Avraham Tzion of Ariel University Center, located in the West Bank. Speaking at the annual conference on media and communications held there, he said the survey also showed that 88 percent of the respondents cited anti-Semitism as the main reason for Israel's negative image.


Inside Story of the Hess Flight: Hitler's Peace Offer to Britain
The American Mercury (1943)

... Hitler offered total cessation of the war in the West. Germany would evacuate all of France except Alsace and Lorraine, which would remain German. It would evacuate Holland and Belgium, retaining Luxembourg. It would evacuate Norway and Denmark. In short, Hitler offered to withdraw from Western Europe, except for the two French provinces and Luxembourg, in return for which Great Britain would agree to assume an attitude of benevolent neutrality towards Germany as it unfolded its plans in Eastern Europe. In addition, the Führer was ready to withdraw from Yugoslavia and Greece.


Americans Are Hell-Bent on Tyranny
Paul Craig Roberts

... In the US, of course, there is no such attempt to hold to account Bush, Cheney, Condi Rice, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and the large number of war criminals that comprised the Bush Regime. Indeed, Obama, whom Republicans love to hate, has gone out of his way to protect the Bush cohort from being held accountable. Here in Great Moral America we only hold accountable celebrities and politicians for their sexual indiscretions ... Apparently, Americans regard sexual infidelity as far more serious than invading countries on the basis of false charges and deception, invasions that have caused the deaths and displacement of millions of innocent people.


Sigmund Freud Saved by Nazi Admirer
The Times (Britain)

Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, was saved from Hitler's persecution of the Jews by a long-standing Nazi who was fascinated with his work, a new book reveals. The fate of Freud and his family in Vienna hung in the balance after Hitler's forces took over Austria in 1938. The psychoanalyst was first protected, then helped to escape to Britain, by Anton Sauerwald, a Nazi who had been put in charge of his assets. In twists of Freudian complexity, Sauerwald was put on trial after the Second World War accused of plundering the Freud family wealth -- only to be saved after the intervention of one of Freud's daughters.


China Executions Shrouded in Secrecy
BBC News

Opponents of the death penalty condemn China's record on a number of fronts. Firstly, there is the secrecy surrounding the judicial process that makes it impossible to find out whether the accused has had a fair trial or not. That means of course that it is uncertain how many criminals are executed here. Human rights groups based abroad estimate that China executes more people each year than the rest of the world put together - although there is quite a disparity between their figures. It will be around 5,000 in 2009, down from 6,000 in 2007, according to the US-based Dui Hua Foundation. Amnesty International's figure is lower.


Ben Stein Says Ron Paul Uses `Anti-Semitic' Arguments
Thomas R. Eddlem -- New American

Ben Stein, former actor turned economic and political advisor, accuses Congressman Ron Paul of using an "anti-Semitic" argument in saying that the US should reconsider its Middle East policies, and in asking why there is so much hatred and terrorism against the US in Arab and Muslim countries. The heated exchange between Stein and Paul is during an appearance on CNNs "Larry King Live."


Iran Sanctions Are Precursor to War
Rep. Ron Paul

Last week the House overwhelmingly approved a measure to put a new round of sanctions on Iran. If this measure passes the Senate, the United States could no longer do business with anyone who sold refined petroleum products to Iran or helped them develop their ability to refine their own petroleum ... This policy is pure isolationism. It is designed to foment war by cutting off trade and diplomacy. Too many forget that the quagmire in Iraq began with an embargo. Sanctions are not diplomacy. They are a precursor to war and an embarrassment to a country that pays lip service to free trade. It is ironic that people who decry isolationism support actions like this.


Lazy Afghanistan Army
Journeyman Pictures -- Video

Top NATO commander General McChrystal calls training local soldiers and cops "our main effort" in Afghanistan. But whipping recruits into shape is a whole lot harder when they're stoned out of their minds. "You walk into a whole squad of ANA [Afghan National Army] smoking hashish. They don't understand that the use of drugs, it effects the way that they accomplish their mission," says one disgusted marine. "Soldiers come out without helmets, soldiers come out missing a lot of gear." Runtime: 6:28 mins.


Iraq Inquiry Reveals Chaos That Led Britain To War
The Guardian (Britain)

Some will always believe that Tony Blair took the country to war in Iraq on a lie, but the most damning charge emerging from the Iraq war inquiry so far is that Britain went to war on a wing and a prayer. The main charges, after four weeks of cross examination, are that Britain had minimal influence over American diplomatic and military strategy, did not plan correctly for the aftermath of war, and utterly misconstrued post-war Iraqi society.


Israel's Jewish Settlements are Illegal, Says European Union
Xinhua (China)

The European Union (EU) expressed its dismay on Wednesday for Israel's decision on the expansion of the settlement of Gilo in East Jerusalem. "The presidency recalls that settlement activities, house demolitions and evictions in East Jerusalem are illegal under international law," said Sweden, which is current rotating presidency of the EU, in a statement. Such activities also prejudge the outcome of final status negotiations and threaten the viability of a two-state solution. The presidency recalls that the European Union has never recognized the annexation of East Jerusalem in 1967 nor the subsequent 1980 basic law," said the statement.


Religious Leaders vs. Members: Contrasting Views on Immigration
Center for Immigration Studies

In contrast to many national religious leaders who are lobbying for increases in immigration, a new Zogby poll of likely voters who belong to the same religious communities finds strong support for reducing overall immigration. Moreover, members strongly disagree with their leaders' contention that more immigrant workers need to be allowed into the country. Also, most parishioners and congregants prefer more enforcement to cause illegal workers to go home, rather than legalization of illegal immigrants, which most religious leaders prefer.

Debating the Holocaust: A New Look at Both Sides By Thomas Dalton

In this remarkable, balanced book, the author skillfully reviews and compares "traditional" and "revisionist" views on the "The Holocaust."

On one side is the traditional, orthodox view -- six million Jewish casualties, gas chambers, cremation ovens, mass graves, and thousands of witnesses. On the other is the view of a small band of skeptical writers and researchers, often unfairly labeled "deniers," who contend that the public has been gravely misled about this emotion-laden chapter of history.

The author establishes that the arguments and findings of revisionist scholars are substantive, and deserve serious consideration. He points out, for example, that even the eminent Jewish Holocaust scholar Raul Hilberg acknowledged that there was no budget, plan or order by Hitler for a World War II program to exterminate Europe's Jews.

This book is especially relevant right now, as "Holocaust deniers" are routinely and harshly punished for their "blasphemy," and as growing numbers of people regard the standard, Hollywoodized "Holocaust" narrative with mounting suspicion and distrust.

The author of this book, who writes under the pen name of "Thomas Dalton," is an American scholar who holds a doctoral degree from a major US university.

This is no peripheral debate between arcane views of some obscure aspect of twentieth century history. Instead, this is a clash with profound social-political implications regarding freedom of speech and press, the manipulation of public opinion, how our cultural life is shaped, and how power is wielded in our society.

Wilhelm Marr’s The Victory of Judaism over Germanism: Viewed from a Nonreligious Point of View

 

Wilhelm Marr's The Victory of Judaism over Germanism: Viewed from a Nonreligious Point of View

Kevin MacDonald

http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/articles/MacDonald-Marr.html#KM

January 6, 2010

Wilhelm Marr (1819–1904) has gone down in history as the first racial anti-Semite. His signature work, The Victory of Judaism over Germanism: Viewed from a Nonreligious Point of View, expresses Marr's views on the conflict between Germans and Jews in a strikingly modern manner.

The pamphlet is difficult to obtain, and there have been no English translations. Now the text has been translated by Gerhard Rohringerand is available online in pdf format. The following summarizes Marr's ideas as presented in this translation of the 8th edition, first published in 1879.

Marr was a journalist, and his pamphlet is expressed in a journalistic style with all the pluses and minuses that that entails. Marr's pamphlet contains a number of ideas that agree with modern theories and social science research on Jews, as well as some ideas that are less supported but interesting nonetheless. His ideas on future events are fascinating with the 20/20 hindsight of 130 years of history.

Wilhelm Marr

Marr describes his writing as "a 'scream of pain' coming from the oppressed" (p. 6). Marr sees Germans as having already lost the battle with Jewry: "Judaism has triumphed on a worldwide historical, basis. I shall bring the news of a lost battle and of the victory of the enemy and all of that I shall do without offering excuses for the defeated army."

In other words, Marr is not blaming the Jews for their predominance in German society, but rather blaming the Germans for allowing this to happen. He sees historical hatred against Jews as due to their occupational profile ("the loathing Jews demonstrate for real work" — a gratuitously negative and overly generalized reference to the Jewish occupational profile) and to "their codified hatred against all non-Jews" (p. 8). Historical anti-Semitism often had a religious veneer, but it was actually motivated by "the struggle of nations and their response to the very real Judaization of society, that is, to a battle for survival…. I therefore unconditionally defend Jewry against any and all religious persecution" (p. 10).

Marr claims that Jews have a justified hatred toward Europeans:

Nothing is more natural than the hatred the Jews must have felt for those who enslaved them and abducted them from their homeland [i.e., the Romans; Marr seems unaware that the Jewish Diaspora predated the failed Jewish rebellions of the 1st and 2nd centuries]. Nothing is more natural than that this hatred had to grow during the course of oppression and persecution in the Occident over the span of almost two thousand years. …Nothing is more natural than that they responded using their inborn gifts of craftiness and cleverness by forming as 'captives' a state within a state, a society within a society. (p. 11)

Jews used their abilities to obtain power in Germany and other Western societies: "By the 19th century the amazing toughness and endurance of the Semites had made them the leading power within occidental society. As a result, and that particularly in Germany, Jewry has not been assimilated into Germanism, but Germanism has been absorbed into Judaism" (p. 11).

Marr claims that Judaism retreated in the face of "Christian fanaticism," and achieved its greatest successes first among the Slavs and then among the Germans — both groups that were late in developing national cultures. He attributes the success of Jews in Germany to the fact that Germans did not have a sense of German nationality or German national pride (p. 12).

This is a point that I have also stressed: Collectivist cultures such as medieval Christianity tend to be bad for Jews because Jews are seen as an outgroup by a strongly defined ingroup. Moreover, a general trend in European society after the Enlightenment was to develop cultures with a strong sense of national identity where Christianity and/or ethnic origins formed a part. These cultures tended to exclude Jews, at least implicitly. An important aspect of Jewish intellectual and political activity in post-Enlightenment societies has been opposition to national cultures throughout Europe and other Western societies (see, e.g., here).

Marr credits Jews with bringing economic benefits to Germany:"There is no way to deny that the abstract, money-oriented, haggling mind of the Jews has contributed much to the flourishing of commerce and industry in Germany." Although "racial anti-Semites" are often portrayed as viewing Jews as genetically inferior or even subhuman, a very strong tendency among racial anti-Semites is to see Jews as a very talented group. Marr clearly sees Jews as an elite.

Indeed, Marr sees the Germans as inferior to the Jews and as having a mélange of traits that caused them to lose the battle to Jews:

Into this confused, clumsy Germanic element penetrated a smooth crafty, pliable Jewry; with all of its gifts of realism[as opposed to German idealism], intellectually well qualified as far as the gift of astuteness is concerned, to look down upon the Germans and subduing the monarchical, knightly, lumbering German by enabling him in his vices. (p. 13)

What we [Germans] don't have is the drive of the Semitic people. On account of our tribal organization we shall never be able to acquire such a drive and because cultural development knows no pause, our outlook is none other than a time when we Germans will live as slaves under the legal and political feudalism of Judaism. (p. 14)

Germanic indolence, Germanic stinginess, convenient Teutonic disdainfulness of expression are responsible [for the fact] that the agile and clever Israel now decides what one shall say and what not…. You have turned the press over to them because you find brilliant frivolity more to your liking than moral fortitude …. The Jewish people thrive because of their talents and you have been vanquished, as you should have been and as you have deserved a thousandfold.  (p. 30)  

Are we willing to sacrifice? Did we succeed in creating even a single anti-Jewish leaning paper, which manages to be politically neutral? … To de-Judaize ourselves, for that we clearly lack physical and spiritual strength.

I marvel in admiration at this Semitic people which put its heel onto the nape of our necks … We harbor a resilient, tough, intelligent foreign tribe among us, who knows how to take advantage of every form of abstract reality. (p. 24)

We are no longer a match for this foreign tribe. (p. 27)

As a result of his high estimation of Jews and low estimation of Germans, Marr claims that he does not hate Jews. It's simply a war where one side loses. The conflict between Jews and Germans is"like a war. How can I hate the soldier whose bullet happens to hit me? — Does one not offer one's hand as victor as well as a prisoner of war? … In my eyes, it is a war which has been going on for 1800 years" (p. 28).

Despite their long history of living together, Jews, unlike other peoples who have come to Germany, remain foreigners among the Germans — the separatism that is fundamental to Judaism as a group evolutionary strategy (and hence my titles, A People that Shall Dwell Alone and Separation and Its Discontents):

[The Jew] was a typical foreigner to them and remained one until today; and yes, his exclusive Judaism, as we shall demonstrate in what follows, shows itself even more today after his emancipation, than it did in earlier times. (p. 13)

All other immigration into Germany … disappeared without a trace within Germanism; Wends and Slavs disappeared in the German element. The Semitic race, stronger and tougher, has survived them all. Truly! Were I a Jew, I would look upon this fact with my greatest pride. (p. 17)

One of Marr's most interesting observations is his proposal that Germans formed idealistic images of Jews during the Enlightenment when others had more realistic and negative views. Jews are realists, accepting the world as it is and advancing their interests based on their understanding of this reality. Germans, on the other hand, tend to have idealized images of themselves and others — to believe that the human mind can construct reality based on ideals that can then shape behavior.

This is a reference to the powerful idealist strand of German philosophy that has been so influential in the culture of the West. An illustrative example is American transcendentalism, a movement that created an indigenous culture of critique in 19th-century America. This perspective resulted in overly optimistic views of human nature and tended toward radical egalitarianism; it also provided the theoretical underpinnings the abolitionist movement among elite intellectuals like Ralph Waldo Emerson.

In particular, Marr notes that, whereas prominent and influential Enlightenment thinkers like Voltaire were critics of Judaism (seeing it as reactionary tribalism), in Germany the most influential writer wasGotthold Ephraim Lessing  (1729–1781). Lessing presented a very positive image of Judaism in his play Nathan the Wise. The Jewish Nathan (Marr calls him "Rothschild" to give it contemporary relevance) makes an eloquent plea for religious tolerance — while at the same time he finances the Muslim war against the Christian Crusaders. Marr suggests that Lessing engaged in a bit of self-deception: Despite his positive portrayal of Nathan as the essence of tolerance, "Lessing could not in his subconscious self overcome the identity of Jew and servant of Mammon" (p. 15).

The influence of Lessing was profound: "German idealism was captivated by the legend of the ring [i.e., Lessing's metaphor for religious tolerance], but missed that Lessing's Nathan could only be — a character from a fable" (p. 16).

Marr suggests that instead of a fictional character like Nathan the Wise, Lessing should have seen 17th-century Jewish philosopherBaruch Spinoza as an illustration of what Judaism is really like. Whereas Nathan the Wise suggests that religious tolerance is a characteristic of Judaism, Marr interprets Spinoza's fate as illustrating Jewish intolerance and fanaticism in the real world — features of Judaism also noted by several contemporary writers, most notabllyIsrael Shahak, but also including Enlightenment thinkers like Voltaire. Spinoza was hounded out of the Jewish community of Amsterdam because of his views on religion: "This truly great Jewish non-Jew had been cursed by his own tribal associates — all the way to attempted murderous assault" (p. 16). But in the 19th century,"woe to the German who dares to show the Jewish masses who the great Spinoza was and what he stood for!!" (p. 16).

Another trait of Germans that Marr sees as deleterious is "abstract individualism." Marr states that Jewish economic success within capitalism is "in agreement with the dogma of 'abstract individualism' which you have accepted with enthusiasm from the hands of Judaism" (p. 30). In other words, Marr believed that individualism was something Jews imposed on Germany, not a tendency within the Germans themselves, as I have argued. As noted above, Marr (correctly) believed that societies centered around a strong collectivist religious core (e.g., medieval Christianity) or a strong sense of ethnic nationalism are more able to defend themselves against Jews.

Because of their grievances against Europeans, it is not surprising that Jews support revolution:

Who can hold it against the Jews that they happily welcomed the revolutions of 1789 and the one of 1848 and actively participated in them? "Jews, Poles and writers" was the battle cry of the conservatives in 1848. Well, of course, three suppressed factions! (p. 16)

Following his first decisive victory of 1848 he had to — whether he wanted to or not — pursue his success further and must now attempt to ruin the Germanic, Occidental world. (p. 28).

By 1848 Judaism had entirely ceased being a religion at all. It was"nothing else but the constitution of a people, forming a state within a state and this secondary or counter-state demanded certain material advantages for its members" (p. 17). Marr states that Jewish emancipation only meant political equality because Jews had already achieved "a leading and dominating role" (p. 17), and dominated all political factions except the Catholics. "The daily press is predominantly in Jewish hands, which have transformed journalism … into a business with public opinion; critique of the theater, of art in general — is to three quarters in the hands of Jews. Writing about politics and even religion is — in Jewish hands" (p. 19). While Jews are deeply involved in creating the culture of Germany, "Judaism has been declared a subject off-limits for us Germans. … To comment on [Jewish] rituals is 'hatred', but if the Jew takes it upon himself to pronounce the last word in our religious and state affairs, then it is quite a different matter (p. 20).

Jews are particularly involved in the "culture struggle" againstultramontanism — the view that papal authority should extend over secular affairs. Ultramontanism was attacked by Jews because the Church "opposed Judaism for world domination." Although opposition to ultramontanism was also an interest for many Germans, Jews did all the talking, and any criticism of Roman Catholicism was banned "if Israel was touched on ever so slightly!!" (p. 20).

Jews are powerful and they will continue to obtain more power. In the end, Germans will be at the mercy of the Jews:

Within less than four generations there will not be a single office in the land, including the highest, which will not have been usurped by the Jews. Yes, through Jewry Germany will become a world power, an Occidental Palestine… Jewry has fought the Occident for 1800 years. It has conquered and subjected it. We are the vanquished and it is quite in order that the victor chants 'Vae Victis' [woe to the vanquished]. (p. 22)

The Jew has no real religion, he has a business contract with Jehovah and pays his god with statutes and formulations and in return is charged with the pleasant task of exterminating all that is not Jewish. (p. 14)

Marr saw Russia as the only European nation that had resisted the Jewish onslaught. However, he believed that Russia would eventually fall by bloody revolution and this revolution would lead to the downfall of the West:

[Among European nations, only Russia] is left to still resist the foreign invasion. … [T]he final surrender of Russia is only a question of time. … Jewish resilient, fly-by-night attitude will plunge Russia into a revolution like the world might never have seen before. … With Russia, Jewry will have captured the last strategic position from which it has to fear a possible attack on its rear …. After it has invaded Russia's offices and agencies the same way it did ours, then the collapse of our Western society will begin in earnest openly and in Jewish fashion. The 'last hour' of doomed Europa will strike at the latest in 100 to 150 years" (p. 24–25).

Indeed, Jews are already taking the lead in fomenting anti-Russian policy, as in the Russian-Turkish war. For example, ideas that "the insolence of the great sea power England might be curbed" by allying with Russia were banned from the Jewish newspapers (p. 26).

Marr is entirely pessimistic about the future, foreseeing a cataclysm:  

The destructive mission of Judaism (which also existed in antiquity) will only come to a halt once it has reached its culmination, that is after Jewish Caesarism has been installed" (p. 28). "Jewry will have to face a final, desperate assault particularly by Germanism, before it will achieve authoritarian dominance. (p. 29)

Marr thinks that anti-Jewish attitudes will become powerful but ultimately they will fail to fend off disaster for the Germans and the West. Marr lays part of the blame on the fact that the only people who publicly oppose the Jews conceptualize them incorrectly as a religion. As a result, responsible, informed criticism of Jews that would appeal to non-religious people and intellectual elites never appears in the press: "A catastrophe lies ahead, because the indignation against the Judaization of society is intensified by the fact that it can't be ventilated in the press without showing itself as a most abstruse religious hatred, such as it surfaces in the ultramontane and generally in the reactionary press" (p. 30). Nevertheless, even a "violent anti-Jewish explosion will only delay, but not avert the disintegration of Judaized society" (p. 30).

Regarding his own mission, Marr sees himself as a soldier fighting a lost cause: "I am aware that my journalist friends and I stand defenseless before Jewry. We have no patronage among the nobility or the middle class. Our German people are too Judaized to have the will for self-preservation (p. 32).

Marr concludes with the following:  

The battle had to be fought without hatred against the individual combatant, who was forced into the role of attacker or defender. Tougher and more persistent than we, you became victorious in this battle between people, which you fought without the sword, while we massacred and burned you, but did not muster the moral strength to tell you to live and deal among your own. …

Attorney General Baroness Scotland may block Israeli war crimes warrants

The Attorney General could be given a veto over arrest warrants for foreign leaders in an attempt to placate Israeli ministers who fear war crimes prosecutions if they visit Britain.

Baroness Scotland of Asthal, who is in Jerusalem, discussed an amendment to British law that would give her office the power to review arrest warrants in private prosecutions against political figures, according to Foreign Ministry sources.

Israel warned that a failure to resolve the situation soon would have consequences for both countries.

Any further deterioration in diplomatic relations could damage Britain's counter-terrorism effort which has drawn heavily on Israeli experience and expertise, notably in dealing with suicide bombers.

Lady Scotland's trip coincided with the cancellation of a visit to Britain by an Israeli military delegation. The group abandoned its travel plans after the Israeli officers were told that their hosts, the British Army, could not guarantee they would not be arrested.

Last month Tzipi Livni, the Israeli foreign minister, cancelled a trip to London after a court was persuaded by Palestinian activists to issue a warrant for her arrest in connection with the 2008 Israeli offensive in Gaza.

Previously, Defence Minister Ehud Barak has abandoned plans to visit the UK fearing arrest and in 2005 Doron Almog, a retired Israeli general, avoided arrest only by remaining on the plane that brought him to Heathrow.

David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, apologised to Ms Livni last month and promised an urgent review of the law to prevent a repeat of the situation.

Westminster sources said that no final decision has been taken on how to solve the problem but giving the Attorney General a new power to review private warrants was the preferred option.

It would give the Attorney General the ability to block the arrest of Israeli politicians but would not block action against Nazi war criminals, Afghan warlords or fugitive leaders of genocidal campaigns.

Officials have told ministers that a change to the present legal situation will require parliamentary approval. That advice has delayed the change because the Government fears a backlash from its own backbenchers if it tries to push through an amendment which is seen to favour Israel.

Lady Scotland's office said last night she had been invited to deliver a lecture in Israel before the row over Ms Livni's visit and combined her visit with a holiday.

The Israeli foreign ministry confirmed however that she met Danny Ayalon, Israel's deputy foreign minister, who made clear his anger and concern.

Lady Scotland refused to be drawn on the specifics of any amendment when she delivered her lecture last night at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

"I shall not tonight be talking about the rights and wrongs of any individual case," she told her audience.

"But you will know that the Foreign Secretary has stated clearly that the Government is looking urgently at ways in which the UK system might be changed to avoid this situation arising again and is determined that Israel's leaders should always be able to travel freely to the UK."

Answering questions later, the Attorney General said there would be no dilution of Britain's commitment to prosecute war criminals.

She added: "We need to make sure that the process that we use to effectively prosecute is just that, effective, and not used for political or other purposes."

Mr Ayalon told Lady Scotland that if the threat of arrest was not removed from visiting Israeli officials it would "make it difficult for the two countries to maintain a normal relationship".

He raised the issue of the cancelled military visit and pointed out that most Israeli citizens had served in the military and could be liable to arrest in Britain.

Mr Ayalon said in a radio interview: "These officers were invited by Great Britain, but they will stay in Israel as long as we do not have a 100 percent guarantee that they will not become objects of criminal lawsuits in that country.

"If the British law remains unchanged, this would undermine the good relations between the two countries who share common values and interests. The British must bear in mind that these visits serve both countries.

"Only actions can put an end to this absurd situation, which would have seemed a comedy of errors were it not so serious."

An official in the Israeli Foreign Ministry added that they were "concerned" that issue has not already been resolved in the month since Ms Livni had to cancel her trip to Britain.

The source said: "The issue with Tzipi was back in December, and we have yet to see real movement on this intolerable situation. We understand that it has been the holiday season, but this is an issue that effectively bans our Israeli leaders from visiting the UK. It has huge consequences."

But the Government is facing lobbying from Muslim groups and human rights organisations against any change to the legal position.

The Muslim Council of Britain has warned against "selective compliance with the enforcement of international law" which it claimed would "add a further dimension to the double standards that our government is seen to have in relation to the politics of the Middle East".

Inayat Bunglawala of Muslims4UK said: "We believe no attempt should be made [to change the law]. There's no reason why Israel should be singled out for special treatment. If they're accused of war crimes, we have a duty - and legislation - to prosecute."

The Hamas leadership of Gaza has said that it is assisting European lawyers and human rights groups in collecting data on alleged war crimes committed by Israel during the Gaza War.

A UN fact-finding mission led by Judge Richard Goldstone found that both Israel and Hamas had committed war crimes during the Gaza War. Some 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed during the 23-day offensive waged in late December 2008.

Dominic Grieve, the shadow Justice Secretary, said the Opposition would work with the Government to resolve the situation.

"The Government has undertaken to address the issues surrounding arrest warrants for visiting foreign politicians or officials," Mr Grieve said.

"We will work with them to find the right balance between bringing genuine war criminals to justice, and preventing the criminal justice system from being manipulated for political ends."

 

There were many readers comments on this report. I reproduce here only two. ST

Graeme Warren wrote:

Israel's war crimes have been condemned Internationally and by the UN. Therefore my government has no mandate or right to tinker with regulations to help Israel, a country that obey's no laws, international or UN. Ms. Scotland should realize voters have long memories.

how can such a tiny tail like israel wave such a large dog like britain and an even bigger dog like america? the only people who think israel is doing nothing wrong (apart from the israelis of course) are the the few in power in the west who for some reason love israel while the majority of their populations know israel is committing atrocities agains the Palestinians, just read all the comments to this article.. why dont these leaders realise that the only thing israel gives them is grief and makes them targets of attack by terrorists. it's not even like israel is sat on lakes of oil - i could understand that argument. is it out of some guilt for the 2WW? but it makes scant difference as long as the british and american govs (which BTW and in case we have forgotten, *we* voted in) give carte blanche to them to do as they please. will ms scotland take heed to any of these opinions? hardly likely. and we wonder why britain and america *are* targets for terrorist attacks... we should all bow our heads down in utter shame for allowing our govs to let israel get away with it... and israel, if you had any shame you would feel shame

Debating the Holocaust: A New Look at Both Sides By Thomas Dalton

In this remarkable, balanced book, the author skillfully reviews and compares "traditional" and "revisionist" views on the "The Holocaust."

On one side is the traditional, orthodox view -- six million Jewish casualties, gas chambers, cremation ovens, mass graves, and thousands of witnesses. On the other is the view of a small band of skeptical writers and researchers, often unfairly labeled "deniers," who contend that the public has been gravely misled about this emotion-laden chapter of history.

The author establishes that the arguments and findings of revisionist scholars are substantive, and deserve serious consideration. He points out, for example, that even the eminent Jewish Holocaust scholar Raul Hilberg acknowledged that there was no budget, plan or order by Hitler for a World War II program to exterminate Europe's Jews.

This book is especially relevant right now, as "Holocaust deniers" are routinely and harshly punished for their "blasphemy," and as growing numbers of people regard the standard, Hollywoodized "Holocaust" narrative with mounting suspicion and distrust.

The author of this book, who writes under the pen name of "Thomas Dalton," is an American scholar who holds a doctoral degree from a major US university.

This is no peripheral debate between arcane views of some obscure aspect of twentieth century history. Instead, this is a clash with profound social-political implications regarding freedom of speech and press, the manipulation of public opinion, how our cultural life is shaped, and how power is wielded in our society.

San Diego Cross considered politically incorrect

 

Mount Soledad cross controversy

       From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Soledad_cross_controversy
=====
To all -
A supporter of my outreach sent me the write-up below about a month ago.  I think it deserves to be read and posted on a number of websites: --Ingrid Zundel

[START]

I don't know which side of the Atlantic you reside on but I would like to bring to your attention an ongoing controversy in San Diego CA.   I'm referring to the Cross on Mount Soledad in La Jolla a part of San Diego.
 
The cross is a war memorial to veterans of WWI, WWII and Korean War.  The current cross atop the mountain has been in place since 1954 while a prior cross had been on the mountain since 1913. Over the past few decades first an atheist and now the Jewish War Veterans national organization are using the ACLU to have the cross taken down.  Several local Rabbis have spoken out about how the cross offends them.  One prominent Rabbi said years ago that when he saw the cross from the freeway below the mountain  he felt like it was not his country.  You have to bend your neck a bit to look up and see it out of your windshield.
 
In the meantime there sits on San Diego County park land in Heritage Park (adjacent to Old Town San Diego) the old synagogue Temple Beth Israel.  It is the oldest synagogue in San Diego, built in 1889, and moved to its current location about 30 years ago. It is a fine looking old building with the Star of David prominently displayed in its architecture.
It is currently used for weddings (presided over by Rabbis most likely) and Bar Mitzvahs among other uses. The County Park service says it is nondenominational. But,  it is still a synagogue, a religous relic,  on San Diego County park land being supported by San Diego tax payers.

No one has  to my knowledge ever protested its presense or tried to have it removed.  But it seems Jews just cannot stand a Cross on Mount Soledad even though it is inclusive of all veterans.
 
It is my belief that if the Mount Soledad Cross must be removed to please the Jewish War Veterans then the Temple Beth Israel  synagogue should also be removed from public land.
 
This issue is now before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.  If there is any way that you could spread any word about this it would be a tremendous service to those of us who are tired of Jews trying to tell the vast majority of Americans what kind of war memorials we can or cannot have.

Thank You for any help and for running the Zundelsite.
