Assange Fears `Jewish American Attack' If He Publishes Information Harmful to Israel
Maariv NRG - Antisemitism.org.il (Israel) 
"We preferred not to publish anything about Israel in the first week of the "Wikileaks" publications because this would have caused considerable problems - stated Julian Assange, the owner of the popular leaks website, in an interview ... He refers relatively extensively to the Israeli subject. "We put out files from other countries at the beginning", said Assange, "at the time we did not have in our possession many files about Israel and we were also scared of an attack on us from the East Coast of the United States". It would appear that Assange was referring to an attack that would be made on him by the American Jewish Organizations, most of whom are located in New York and Washington.
____With No Debate and No Objective, Obama Enters a War
Timothy P. Carney -- The Examiner
At once presumptuous and flippant, President Obama used a Saturday audio recording from Brazil to inform Americans he had authorized a third war -- a war in which America's role is unclear and the stated objectives are muddled. Setting aside the wisdom of the intervention, Obama's entry into Libya's civil war is troubling on at least five counts. First is the legal and constitutional question. Second is the manner of Obama's announcement. Third is the complete disregard for public opinion and lack of debate. Fourth is the unclear role the United States will play in this coalition. Fifth is the lack of a clear endgame.
Libya and the Suspicious Rush to War
Jeremy Corbyn -- The Guardian (Britain)
... One can't help but be struck by the rush to military involvement by politicians of all countries and all persuasions. The contrast with the western treatment of the rest of the region could not be more stark. The Palestinian people have lived with occupation for 60 years, well over 1,000 died in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead, settlements abound and Israel possesses nuclear weapons. I can't remember anyone calling for a no-fly zone in Gaza in winter 2008-09 when phosphorous bombs were used against a largely unarmed and defenceless civilian population.
Hopes for a Qaddafi Exit, and Worries of What Comes Next
The New York Times
... Is the battle for Libya the clash of a brutal dictator against a democratic opposition, or is it fundamentally a tribal civil war? ... The eastern region around Benghazi had always been a hotbed of opposition to the colonel, in part because tribes there had enjoyed the favoritism of the former king, Idriss I, whom the colonel overthrew, while he in turn favored the tribes of the central and western coast.
Palin Visits Israel, Following Others Seeking Zionist Support
McClatchy Newspapers
It's a well-trod path for presidential contenders, and now Sarah Palin has made the trek: a visit to Israel. Wearing a Star of David necklace, the Fox News Channel commentator and former Alaska governor met Monday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and right-wing politician and settlement supporter Danny Danon ... Palin, on a private visit, was following in the footsteps of other potential candidates for the Republican presidential nomination who have visited Israel recently, including Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Haley Barbour and Rudolph Giuliani.In Britain, `Phenomenal' Sales of Books About Third Reich
BBC News
Books about the Third Reich throng the British bestseller lists, but is it a matter of genuine historical interest or odd fetish, asks Clive Anderson. ... Now, more than 60 years since the end of World War II, Nazi books are going stronger than ever. A staggering 850 books about the Third Reich were published in 2010, up from 350 in the year 2000. And they mostly still have a swastika on the front cover. The phenomenal and continuing success of books about the Nazis includes fiction, non-fiction and science fiction ... Whether it is healthy or not for Britain's national psyche, it is certainly healthy for British publishers. The top 100 books on the Third Reich have generated sales of more than £12 million.
Revealed: US Spy Operation That Manipulates Social Media
The Guardian (Britain)
The US military is developing software that will let it secretly manipulate social media sites by using fake online personas to influence internet conversations and spread pro-American propaganda. A Californian corporation has been awarded a contract with United States Central Command (Centcom), which oversees US armed operations in the Middle East and Central Asia, to develop what is described as an "online persona management service" that will allow one US serviceman or woman to control up to 10 separate identities based all over the world. The project has been likened by web experts to China's attempts to control and restrict free speech on the internet.
USS Liberty Attack: New Evidence
Philip Giraldi
The attack on the USS Liberty by Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats on June 8, 1967, has almost faded from memory, but new evidence suggests that the White House might actually have had prior knowledge that the ship would be struck by Israel's armed forces ... One of the more intriguing allegations surrounding the Liberty incident is the claim that a United States Navy submarine was in the area when the attack took place. A number of submarine crewmen have surfaced anonymously to say that they were on one of several subs reported to be in the area on intelligence-gathering missions. Some stated their belief that photos were taken of the attack itself, but, fearing reprisals from the government, none would go public with their claims. Israel Ex-President Moshe Katsav In Prison For Rape
BBC News
Israel's former President Moshe Katsav has been jailed for seven years for rape and other sex offences. He was convicted at an earlier hearing of raping an employee in the 1990s when he was tourism minister, and of later sexual offences while he was president. The rape victim, known as Woman A, told the court he had first attacked her at the tourism ministry office, and later at a hotel in Jerusalem. Katsav, 65, resigned from the largely ceremonial post of president in 2007. Polish Government Suspends Restitution Payments For Polish Jews
Deutsche Welle (Germany)
Jewish organizations and the US administration have both raised objections to Poland's decision to suspend work on the restitution of Jewish property confiscated by the Nazis during World War II and under communism. The Polish government suspended work on the restitution package on March 10, due to its spiraling budget deficit.
German Prosecutors Demand Six Years In Prison for Demjanjuk
Reuters
German prosecutors demanded a six-year jail term on Tuesday for John Demjanjuk, who they accused of helping kill 27,900 Jews in the Holocaust. State prosecutor Hans-Joachim Lutz told a court in Munich in at the end of a 16-month trial that Demjanjuk, 90, was part of the Nazi machinery and an accomplice to murdering Jews.

Holocaust, Hate Speech & Were The Germans So Stupid?
Anthony Lawson - Video
In this persuasive video presentation, Anthony Lawson looks at Holocaust lies and deceit, including the "confession" of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss, and the injustice and hypocrisy of laws against "Holocaust denial." Runtime: 20:30 mins.Jews `Own The White House,' Says Helen Thomas
Politico
... "[The Jews are] using their power, and they have power in every direction," she told Playboy. "Power over the White House, power over Congress ... Everybody is in the pocket of the Israeli lobbies, which are funded by wealthy supporters, including those from Hollywood. Same thing with the financial markets. There's total control ... It isn't the two percent. It's real power when you own the White House, when you own these other places in terms of your political persuasion." US House Prices At Nine-Year Low, As Sales Fall 9.6% In February
Los Angeles Times
Sales of previously owned homes dropped 9.6% in February and prices fell to their lowest level since 2002, reflecting a continued slump in the U.S. real estate market. The National Assn. of Realtors on Monday said home resales dropped to an annual rate of 4.88 million from an upwardly revised 5.4 million in January. The data is seasonally adjusted. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch expected sales to drop to a rate of 5.1 million. Sales of new and used homes have been down in the dumps since a housing market bubble burst during the recession. High unemployment, combined with stricter lending standards, have made it harder for Americans to buy homes despite low interest rates. Norwegian Lawmaker Says Holocaust Gas Chambers Did Not Exist
JTA
Members of a Norwegian lawmaker's own party have called for his resignation after he publicly denied the Holocaust. Labor Party lawmaker Anders Mathisen reportedly told the Finnmarken newspaper that the Holocaust never happened and challenged readers to prove him wrong. "There is no evidence the gas chambers or mass graves existed," he told the newspaper, according to reports. "Even reputable Holocaust historians have admitted it cannot be established." Mathisen reportedly has spent months researching World War II concentration camps and is advocating changing history books ... Footage of Post-War Mass Murder of German Civilians in Prague
Czech TV - Video
Footage of a mass killing of more than 40 German prisoners in May 1945, shortly after the end of World War II in Europe. This was aired by Czech TV in a documentary entitlled Zabíjení po cesku, or "Killings Czech style." Many German civilians and prisoners were killed in the aftermath of the war by Allied forces or their associates. This particular massacre, in or near Prague, may have been carried out by Soviet troops.
An `Unknown Holocaust' and the Hijacking of History
Mark Weber
... We hear a lot about terrible crimes committed by Germans during World War II, but we hear very little about crimes committed against Germans. Germany's defeat in May 1945, and the end of World War II in Europe, did not bring an end to death and suffering for the vanquished German people. Instead the victorious Allies ushered in a horrible new era of destruction, looting, starvation, rape, "ethnic cleansing," and mass killing ... Even though this "unknown holocaust" is ignored in our motion pictures and classrooms, and by our political leaders, the facts are well established. Historians are in basic agreement about the scale of the human catastrophe, which has been laid out in a number of detailed books.
Muslim and Jewish Leaders in Europe Unite Against `Rightist' Parties
European Jewish Press
Prominent Muslim and Jewish leaders from across Europe pledged to stand together against the rise of extreme-right xenophobic and racist parties that represent an escalating peril to ethnic and religious minorities across Europe, including Jews and Muslims. These leaders made the pledge during a gathering in Paris of the "Coordinating Committee of European Muslim and Jewish Leaders."
US Army Apologizes for Horrific `Kill Team' Photos From Afghanistan
Der Spiegel (Germany)
The images are repulsive. A group of rogue US Army soldiers in Afghanistan killed innocent civilians and then posed with their bodies. On Monday, Spiegel published some of the photos -- and the US military responded promptly with an apology. Still, NATO fears that reactions in Afghanistan could be violent. The United States and NATO are concerned that reactions could be intense to the publication of images documenting killings committed by US soldiers in Afghanistan.
Fromm and Weber Speak on America's Past and Today's Crisis at Spirited Meeting
Institute for Historical Review
At one of the most spirited and successful IHR meetings in many months, Paul Fromm and Mark Weber delivered informed, well-received talks about social-political decline in America and Canada, and the factors behind this trend ... Canada is undergoing rapid and profound ethnic-cultural transformation, Fromm said. Parallel to what's also happening in the US, non-whites are replacing Canada's traditional, European-origin population ... In his address, Mark Weber spoke about how America has changed drastically over the past 60 years, as reflected in the country's high school history textbooks Ten Signs The US Is Becoming a Third World Country
Activist Post
Rising unemployment and poverty: Unemployment numbers, food stamps, and home foreclosures continue to reach new record highs ... Economic dependence: The United States finished 2009 with a debt-to-GDP ratio of 85%, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The current trend projects the United States to finish 2010 at 94% and 2011 at 98%. The 90% level has become the IMF's make-or-break point for countries hoping to grow their way out of debt ... Failing infrastructure: As 46 of 50 states are on the verge of bankruptcy, cities are going dark, asphalt roads are returning to the stone age, and nationwide budget cuts are leaving students without teachers, supplies, or a full-time education.
American Historian Looks At `Ethnic Cleansing' of Germans
Robert Clive -- Institute for Historical Review
The grim fate of the 15 million German civilians who found themselves trapped in the path of the Red Army in the closing months of World War 11, or on the wrong side of the re-drawn postwar borders, is not a topic that has tended to excite the interest of historians. And the general public, which is subjected to constant reminders about wartime Nazi brutality, is certainly not aware that at least two million Germans lost their lives in the course of flight and mass expulsion from their ancestral homes in Eastern Europe ... First published in German in 1986, The German Expellees is based on extensive research in European and American archives. Life Magazine 'Duped' Over Eva Braun's Private Photos
The Star (Canada)
A cache of "rare, unseen" photographs from Eva Braun's private photo album that flashed across the Life magazine website are pictures publicly available since 1947 and the legendary photo magazine has been duped, the U.S. National Archives says. "We've had them here since 1947," Edward McCarter, head of still photography at the archives, told the Star on Thursday. "Anyone could see them for free." Six Talks By Mark Weber
Worldwatch - Voice of Reason
Podcasts of six broadcasts by Mark Weber, from his 2009 "Worldwatch" show on the "Voice of Reason" network. These informative, closely reasoned talks, each a half-hour in length, are titled: "The Weight of Tradition: Ancient Roots of Modern Conflict" / "An Unknown Holocaust: Mass Killing, `Ethnic Cleansing' and Brutal Mistreatment of Germans by the Victorious Allies" / "World War II: Non-Conformist Views of the 'Good War'" / "Behind the Hunt for `Nazi War Criminals'" / "Straight Talk About Zionism" / "Behind the Uproar Over `Holocaust Denial'"
Latvians Honor Waffen SS Fighters
The Associated Press
More than 1,000 people paid tribute Wednesday to Latvians who fought on the side of Nazi Germany in Waffen SS detachments during World War II. Flanked by flag-bearers, participants in the annual procession sang patriotic songs and laid flowers at the base of the Freedom Monument in downtown Riga in honour of the Latvian SS soldiers, who are known as Legionnaires. Deepening Rift Between Germany and Israel
Arutz Sheva (Israel)
According to a report which was published this week in The New York Times, a serious rift has been opened between Germany and Israel in the last few weeks. The report cited the recent [Feb. 18] vote in the UN Security Council over calling the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria illegal as one of the causes of the rift ... Following the German vote at the UN, Netanyahu phoned Merkel to express his disappointment. In response, Merkel said: "How dare you? You are the one who has disappointed us. You haven't made a single step to advance peace." This conversation, which was confirmed by Israeli and German officials, reveals a deep conceptual rift between Berlin and Jerusalem, said the report. Major French Magazine Acknowledges Auschwitz Gas Chamber Fraud
Mark Weber - Institute for Historical Review (1995)
One of France's most influential and reputable magazines, L'Express, now acknowledges that "everything is false" about the Auschwitz "gas chamber" that for decades has been shown to tens of thousands of tourists yearly. "Auschwitz: The Memory of Evil," a lengthy article by journalist and historian Eric Conan, a dedicated anti-revisionist, appears in the January 19-25, 1995, issue ... Generally speaking, writes Conan, there have been many obvious falsifications in the Auschwitz and Birkenau camp sites.
In California, Hispanic Children Now Majority
BBC News
More than half of California's children are now of Hispanic origin, according to the US Census Bureau. The latest data from the 2010 census shows that Latinos and Asians accounted for most of the population growth in California over the past decade. The number of Hispanics rose 28% to 14 million, reaching near parity with non-Hispanic whites, while Asians grew 31%. California remains the biggest state, growing to 37.3 million, but not enough for additional seats in Congress. The detailed figures from the 2010 US Census shows that Hispanics now account for 38% of California's population, almost equal with the 40% of non-Hispanic whites. Coming to America: Growing Israel-US Television Connection
The Wall Street Journal
... As the world gets smaller, and original ideas harder to come by, Hollywood producers and agents are looking elsewhere, and they say they've found signs of a Promised Land. Israel, though faraway, isolated and war-weary, is culturally more aligned to American TV tastes than almost any other country ... Another explanation for the close relationship between Hollywood and Israel is cultural and religious. Producers in both countries point to Judaism as a link between Israeli TV creators and prominent Hollywood executives.
Why Is Israel Aid Exempt?
M J Rosenber - Al Jazeera
... The $3 billion Israel aid package is the new third rail of American politics: touch it and die. It is also the one program that liberals, conservatives, Democrats, Republicans and tea partiers all agree should not sustain even a dollar in cuts ... Everyone knows that the Democratic and Republican campaign finance committees warn their members of the dire consequences that might ensue if they dare to stand up to the lobby.
Many Germans Reportedly Think Israel Is `Exterminating' Palestinians
The Jerusalem Post (Israel)
A think-tank affiliated with Germany's Social Democratic Party issued a new report last week that revealed high levels of anti-Semitism in Germany, Poland and Hungary, as well as varying manifestations of racism, homophobia and prejudice in eight European countries ... She termed the outbreak of Jew-hatred in Germany "remarkable" because there were widespread Holocaust remembrance and education events in Germany ... Asked to respond to the statement that "Israel is conducting a war of extermination against the Palestinians," 47.7 percent of the study's participants in Germany expressed agreement - the highest number in Western Europe.
Israel Among World's Least Popular Countries, New Survey Finds
The Jerusalem Post (Israel)
A poll conducted by the BBC World Service and released on Monday [March 7] shows that Israel is one of the least popular countries in the world, with only Iran, North Korea and Pakistan ranking lower, despite a two percent rise in positive opinion on the Jewish State since last year ... The order of popularity is Germany, UK, Japan, Canada, France, US, Brazil, China, South Africa, India, South Korea, Russia, Israel, Pakistan, North Korea, Iran. Germany received 62% positive ratings, while Iran was rated negative by 59% of participants.
The Veto from Hell
Philip Giraldi
... Last Friday's [Feb. 18] American veto of the United Nations Security Council resolution that would have called Israeli settlement activity on the West Bank illegal was not only shameful, it was possibly the low point of the already foundering Obama presidency ... By taking positions that are lopsided and ultimately untenable, Washington's hypocrisy has been visible to the entire world and has rightfully done much to fuel mistrust of American policies in general.
European Leaders Can't Trust Netanyahu, Says Former Dutch Prime Minister
Haaretz (Israel)
The red carpet was not rolled out to greet 80-year-old Dries van Agt upon his arrival at Ben-Gurion International Airport. The man who was prime minister of Holland from 1977 to 1982 is known here as one of the leading delegitimizers of Israel. This visit, like ones before, is aimed at expressing his support for the Palestinians under the occupation and to give a boost to the Israeli peace camp ... "Most of the European leaders, headed by those of the major countries - France, Britain and Germany - are partners to the feeling that it's impossible to trust Netanyahu," van Agt said. Guatemalans Sue US Over 1940s Syphilis Experiments
The Associated Press
Guatemalans subjected to US syphilis experiments in the 1940s filed suit Monday against federal health officials seeking compensation for health problems they have suffered. The lawsuit comes after revelations that US scientists studying the effects of penicillin in the 1940s deliberately infected about 700 Guatemalan prisoners, mentally disturbed patients, soldiers, and orphans. None was informed or gave consent. The experiments ran from 1946 to 1948 and were funded by the National Institutes of Health. Their existence was hidden for decades, until Wellesley College medical historian Susan Reverby uncovered the records in 2009. Underwater Mortgages Rise As Home Prices Fall
The Associated Press
The number of Americans who owe more on their mortgages than their homes are worth rose at the end of last year, preventing many people from selling their homes in an already weak housing market. CoreLogic says about 11.1 million households, or 23.1 percent of all mortgaged homes, were underwater in the October-December quarter. That's up from 22.5 percent, or 10.8 million households, in the July-September quarter. The number of underwater mortgages had fallen in the previous three quarters, but that was mostly because more homes had fallen into foreclosure.
Are Whites Racially Oppressed?
CNN
... A growing number of white Americans are acting like a racially oppressed majority. They are adopting the language and protest tactics of an embattled minority group, scholars and commentators say. ... The face of America is changing, says Wise, author of "White Like Me." American culture has become so multicultural that many of the nation's icons -- including celebrities, sports heroes, and other leaders -- are people of color. "The very definition of being an American is going through a profound change," Wise says. "We can no longer take it for granted that we (whites) are the dictionary definition of an American." Historians Predictably Condemn Proposed Commemoration Day for German World War II Victims
Der Spiegel (Germany)
A new parliamentary proposal to establish a commemoration day in honor of those Germans expelled from Eastern Europe following World War II has revived an ongoing debate about Germany's 20th century history. Dozens of accomplished academics have blasted the idea in an open letter ... The day, should Merkel's cabinet choose to pursue the idea, would be in memory of the expulsion of millions of Germans from Eastern Europe in the wake of World War II. Past efforts to commemorate their suffering have reliably elicited outcries from both within Germany and abroad. Portraying Germans as victims of World War II, after all, is always a dicey proposition.
Revisiting the `Good War's' Aftermath
Dwight D. Murphey
... The American public has long thought of the Allied effort in World War II as a "great crusade" that pitted good and decency against Nazi evil. Even after all these years, it is likely that the last thing the public wants to learn is that vast and unspeakable wrongs were committed by both the Western Allies and the Soviet Union during the war and its aftermath. It flies in the face of that reluctance for MacDonogh to tell "the brutal history" at great length [in his book, After the Reich: The Brutal History of the Allied Occupation]. That willingness is commendable for its intellectual bravery.
Denying Nazi-Zionist Collusion
Alison Weir
... In point of fact, however, the flier's statements are accurate. There is detailed evidence that some Zionists collaborated with the Nazis, that Zionists sabotaged anti-Nazi boycotts, and that Zionists interfered with efforts to rescue victims of Nazi oppression ... This reality, combined with considerable ignorance on the Middle East among many journalists, and pro-Israel, anti-Muslim bias among others, means that there is virtually no effort to correct errors or remedy significant omissions in coverage having to do with Israel. ... New Book Sheds More Light On Lincoln's Racial Views
The Associated Press
Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address has inspired Americans for generations, but consider his jarring remarks in 1862 to a White House audience of free blacks, urging them to leave the U.S. and settle in Central America. "For the sake of your race, you should sacrifice something of your present comfort for the purpose of being as grand in that respect as the white people," Lincoln said, promoting his idea of colonization: resettling blacks in foreign countries on the belief that whites and blacks could not coexist in the same nation. Lincoln went on to say that free blacks who envisioned a permanent life in the United States were being "selfish" and he promoted Central America as an ideal location. 'New' Revelations About Wiesenthal and Lincoln Confirm IHR Scholarship
Mark Weber -- Institute for Historical Review
Over the years, the IHR has often presented new information that the "establishment" media simply ignored or dismissed, but then later grudgingly acknowledged as accurate and valid ... Recent "revelations" about Simon Wiesenthal and Abraham Lincoln reconfirm the solidity, relevance and importance of IHR scholarship. As the saying goes, "Better late than never."
North African Troops Serving With German Forces in 1943
Color Video
Rare color film of North African soldiers serving with the German Wehrmacht in World War II. This was probably filmed in Tunisia in 1943, during the final phase of fighting in northern Africa. One portion shows a German officer addressing African troops.
Is rael May Ask US For $20 Billion More in Security Aid, Barak Says
Haaretz (Israel)
Israel may request an addition $20 billion in military aid from the United States in light of the unrest sweeping the Arab world, Defense Minister Ehud Barak told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published Monday ... With the popular protests shaking up the Mideast, Netanyahu is under fierce international pressure to prove he is serious about getting peacemaking moving again, especially after the U.S. vetoed a UN Security Council resolution condemning Israel's West Bank settlement construction last month. --
