Developments in the Williamson appeal matter during the past week.

32 minutes after lawyer Nahrath, a member of the rightist NPD, informed judge Eisvogel that he had been added to Bishop Williamson's legal team, Nahrath received a phone call from Der Spiegel. It is speculated that Der Spiegel's source of news on the new development had to be its friend lawyer Krah, an associate of the lawyer Lossman who resigned when Nahrath was added to the legal team. In order to placate the SSPX, Williamson said he will drop his lawyer Nahrath, and his appeal, and asked that the SSPX pay his fine. SSPX Superior Fellay agreed but the next day Fellay publicly denounced Williamson and repeated his order to Williamson to drop Nahrath or be ejected from the SSPX. Then Williamson told Fellay that he would continue his appeal but drop Nahrath, reasoning that "A willow will bend whereas an oak will snap and break." Through all of this Williamson never actually spoke to Fellay. Williamson retained a new lawyer on Nov. 26, politically neutral and with a good professional reputation, but thus far not publicly identified.

Subject: 3326. Derniers développements de l'aff. Williamson

Voici les derniers développements de l'affaire Williamson-Nahrath, que nous
recevons ce jour d'une source entièrement fiable. Nous invitons nos
correspondants à se reporter à notre dernier message concernant Mgr Richard
Williamson (n° 3320 du 25/11):

Affaire Williamson- Nahrath
Vendredi 26 novembre

Une forte personnalité du révisionnisme avait assisté au procès du jeune
Kevin Käther en Allemagne où elle avait pu voir l'avocat Me Nahrath en
pleine action. A son retour, cette personne informe Mgr Williamson, lui
décrit l'excellente performance de cet avocat et lui conseille de l'engager:
"That is the man for you!" [C'est l'homme qu'il vous faut!] L'évêque
contacte Me Nahrath qui accepte le mandat. Mgr Williamson, qui ignore
totalement les engagements politiques passés et présents de l'avocat, ne
s'attend absolument pas à la réaction de la presse et à la campagne de
diabolisation qui va se déclencher sous peu.
   Il contacte alors Me Matthias Lossman pour le mettre au courant de son
choix. Celui-ci refuse de travailler avec un avocat de droite. Mgr
Williamson le remercie donc et lui retire son mandat.
   Me Nahrath informe la juge, Mme Eisvogel, le jeudi 18 novembre, sur son
fax privé, que Me Lossman dépose son mandat et que lui le prend. La juge
comprend le changement et accepte de reporter le procès pour que Me Nahrath
puisse se familiariser avec le dossier.
   Trente-deux minutes exactement après l'échange de faxes entre la juge,
Mme Eisvogel et Me Nahrath, ce dernier reçoit un coup de téléphone du
"Spiegel" qui lui  demande ce qu'il en est. Qui donc pouvait savoir que Me
Nahrath venait d'être engagé sinon Me Lossman ainsi que son collègue Me Krah
dont les bonnes relations avec le "Spiegel" ne sont pas un secret? La presse
se saisit de l'affaire et lance une campagne médiatique de diabolisation.
   Dès que la nouvelle de l'engagement du nouvel avocat explose dans la
presse, Mgr Fellay, de Rome où il se trouve, contacte un prêtre en Irlande
le jeudi soir même: "Il (Mgr Williamson) a engagé un avocat néo-nazi, je
vais devoir le renvoyer!" Le prêtre propose de se rendre dès le lendemain
matin, vendredi 19 novembre, auprès de Mgr Williamson pour tenter d'arranger
la situation. L'évêque déjeune avec le prêtre et envoie à Mgr Fellay au
début de l'après-midi de ce vendredi un courriel dans lequel il déclare que,
pour le bien de la Fraternité et rien d'autre, il renonce à poursuivre son
appel devant les tribunaux allemands, et qu'il renonce donc à employer Me
Nahrath devant la menace d'exclusion. Il ajoute que si Menzigen [siège de la
Fraternité] voulait payer l'amende ce serait une gentillesse. Réponse
immédiate de Mgr Fellay: "Deo gratias! On paiera l'amende."
   Le lendemain, samedi 20 novembre, malgré cet échange de courriels dans
lesquels Mgr Williamson avait renoncé à la fois à son appel et à son avocat
le vendredi 19 novembre, Mgr Fellay fulmine en public, humilie l'évêque
devant le monde entier avec la publication sur Internet du fameux Communiqué
de la Maison Généralice, signé par l'abbé Thouvenot, secrétaire général de
la FSSPX, sur DICI, l'organe public et officiel de la FSSPX:  "Mgr Fellay a
intimé l'ordre formel à Mgr Williamson de revenir sur cette décision (de se
laisser défendre par un avocat ouvertement lié à la mouvance dite néo-nazie
en Allemagne) (...) La désobéissance à cet ordre ferait encourir à Mgr
Williamson l'exclusion de la Fraternité Sacerdotale Saint-Pie X", signé:
Abbé Christian Thouvenot, secrétaire général, Menzingen, le 20 novembre 2010
[voy. n/message du 21/11 intitulé "La Fraternité SSPX menace Mgr
Williamson"]. Mgr Williamson contacte alors à nouveau Mgr Fellay par
courriel pour lui dire qu'il renonce à l'avocat mais qu'il continue avec
l'appel; ces décisions sont acceptées par courriel par le supérieur qui
reconnaît à l'évêque le droit de se défendre.
   Le lundi 22 novembre, Mgr Williamson essaie en vain de téléphoner par
trois fois à Mgr Fellay pour obtenir des explications concernant le
Communiqué de l'abbé Thouvenot. Un autre communiqué de la FSSPX lui apprend
que Mgr Fellay a fait ces déclarations publiques pour que le monde sache que
la FSSPX n'aime pas les néo-nazis! Dans toute cette affaire Mgr Williamson
n'est jamais parvenu à parler à Mgr Fellay.
   Suite à l'intervention du prêtre envoyé d'Irlande le vendredi, puis à
l'ultimatum brutal et inattendu de l'abbé Thouvenot le lendemain, Mgr
Williamson se sépare donc de Me Nahrath à l'amiable. Bien que ces décisions
puissent apparaître comme une démission, le proverbe suivant
n'exprimerait-il pas la philosophie de l'évêque: "A willow will bent whereas
an oak will snap and break"? [Le chêne casse, alors que le roseau plie]. Il
faut entendre par là que Mgr Williamson s'est soumis parce qu'il refuse de
se faire expulser de la FSSPX: en effet, il pense qu'il peut faire plus de
bien à l'intérieur qu'à l'extérieur. Bien que la question du révisionnisme
soit très importante, rester dans la Fraternité est primordial. Il avait
choisi Me Nahrath en toute bonne foi, la personne qui l'avait conseillé
étant persuadée que c'était l'avocat qui convenait grâce à sa valeur
professionnelle et à son expérience. Il était à cent lieues de se douter des
réactions violentes et immédiates de la presse.

Cet après-midi, vendredi 26 novembre 2010, Mgr Williamson a confié son
mandat à un nouvel avocat. Celui-ci est politiquement neutre et sa présence
ne devrait "offenser" personne. Il a en outre une excellente réputation
professionnelle. Ayant accepté le mandat, il doit maintenant prendre
connaissance du dossier et puis contacter la juge. Une nouvelle date pour le
procès en appel sera alors fixée.

return of Mussolini




Italy

Berlusconi babes fight as coalition looks shaky
As Italians wonder if the era of Silvio Berlusconi is coming to an end, the women he promoted fight between themselves

By Nick Squires in Rome 6:14PM GMT 27 Nov 2010

He famously once declared that Left-wing Italian women were less attractive than their Right-wing counterparts. But having proved his point by packing his government with ex-beauty queens and showgirls, Silvio Berlusconi is discovering that good looks do not necessarily go with good tempers.
In the latest crisis to hit the scandal-ridden prime minister, his tottering centre-right coalition is under threat after a vicious catfight between two of his most glamourous female allies. In one corner is Mara Carfagna, 34, a former topless model who Mr Berlusconi - without any apparent sense of irony - appointed equal opportunities minister two years ago. And in the other is the fiery Alessandra Mussolini, 47, an MP who is not only the grand-daughter of the fascist dictator but also the niece of Sophia Loren.
The trouble started when Miss Mussolini, herself a former actress and two-time Playboy cover girl, took a photo on her mobile phone of Miss Carfagna talking in parliament to Italo Bocchino, a member of a group of rebel MPs who have split from Mr Berlusconi's coalition.
Miss Mussolini then distributed it to Italian newspapers, accusing Miss Carfagna of being a "traitor" to the government and of flirting with the rebels, who are loyal to Mr Berlusconi's main rival, Gianfranco Fini.
However, Miss Carfagna, who comes from the Campania region near Naples, gave as good as she got. Drawing on Naple's rich and earthy street dialect, which is so impenetrable to other Italians that it almost ranks as a different language, she hurled a choice insult, calling Miss Mussolini una vajassa.
The slur had Italians running to their dictionaries, where they found that it loosely translates as "screeching fishwife" - the kind of strident, pugnacious woman who hails from Naples' notoriously rundown, Mafia-ridden Spanish Quarter.
Miss Mussolini, a former MEP, was so offeneded that she has now threatened to boycott a crucial confidence vote in parliament next month, on which Mr Berlusconi's future depends, unless she receives a public apology from Miss Carfagna.
"I'm amazed that this comes from the minister for equal opportunities, it's really the pot calling the kettle black," the grand-daughter of Il Duce said.
Not content with that, she then rubbed salt into the wound by making a very public show of kissing a senior member of the government with whom Miss Carfagna has quarrelled – an implicit dig at the minister's alleged disloyalty. "It was only a political kiss, not a real smacker. There were no tongues," she added.
The unedifying spectacle, which has dominated Italian newspaper headlines all week, seems more worthy of a pair of bitchy schoolgirls in a playground scrap than a pair of adult parliamentarians. But it has underlined the escalating tensions within the camp of Mr Berlusconi, who was quoted in 2008 as saying that when he looked round parliament, he found that female politicians from the right were "more beautiful".
Aside from the spirited exchange of insults, Miss Carfagna made a couple of valid political points. She criticised the government's lacklustre response to the rubbish crisis in her home region of Campania, which has choked Naples with thousands of tons of festering filth and become an international embarrassment for Italy.
She also complained about the lack of debate within the government, accusing Mr Berlusconi of governing with "dictatorial methods" – a criticism that has been made before by several dissidents, who say the 73-year-old premier tries to run Italy like part of his multi-billion pound business empire.
Such was Miss Carfagna's dissatisfaction that early this week she announced her resignation as both a minister and an MP, amid rumours that she wanted to put herself forward as a future mayor of Naples.
After days of behind-the-scenes negotiations, Mr Berlusconi appeared to have sweet-talked her into staying. "It's all sorted out with Mara," he said on Thursday. "I spoke to her for two hours, she understood and she's not quitting,"
But making up with his former protégée is the least of the prime minister's worries. On Monday another one of his ministers faces a confidence vote which will be seen as a barometer of support for the coalition.
Opposition parties say Sandro Bondi, the minister for culture, should be held responsible for the parlous state of Pompeii, the ancient Roman city where the famed House of the Gladiators crumbled into dust earlier this month, in a further humiliation for Italy's international image.
As the government descends into chaos after the resignation of four ministers this month, the economy is stuck in the doldrums, the public debt burden has reached 120 per cent of GDP and the prime minister's approval ratings have slumped to 35 per cent – the lowest level since he was re-elected in May 2008. In the past last month Mr Berlusconi has also been accused of sleeping with an escort girl and of intervening with police on behalf of a Moroccan-born teenage belly-dancer who goes by the stage name of Ruby the Heart Stealer.
Students protesting against funding cuts have also clashed with police around the country, occupying the Colosseum in Rome and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
There is a feeling that Mr Berlusconi is fiddling while not just Rome, but the whole country, is metaphorically engulfed by flames, and that Italy could be witnessing the emperor's last days.
Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, th[p0-e head of Ferrari and one of Italy's most respected businessmen, said on Wednesday: "The one-man show is over."
The strain is beginning to tell on Mr Berlusconi – he looks physically drawn, and earlier this week phoned in to a live current affairs programme, ranting about his government's supposed achievements and attacking perceived bias by RAI, the state broadcaster.
The real crunch for the media baron will come on December 14, when the government faces votes of no confidence in both houses of parliament.
Defeat could trigger Mr Berlusconi's resignation and new elections – more than two years before his mandate is supposed to expire in 2013.
But his past as a salesman and entrepreneur makes him a formidable political campaigner, and few would rule out his chances of bouncing back into power against all the odds.

Uri Avnery on Religious Jews | The Occidental Observer - White Identity, Interests, and Culture

 


Glen's GravatarGlen
November 27, 2010 - 7:42 pm | Permalink

I just read an interesting and revealing comment on Judaism from British philosopher Bryan Magee:

'Of the religions I have studied, the one I found least worthy of intellectual respect was Judaism. I have no desire to offend any of my readers, but the truth is that while reading foundational Jewish texts I often found myself thinking: "How can anyone possibly believe this?" When I put that question to Jewish friends they often said that no intelligent Jew did. To quote the precise words of one: "There's no a single intelligent Jew in the country who believes the religion." What they do believe, they tell me, is that it is desirable that traditional observances should be kept be at least some Jews because it is these observances more than anything else that give the Jewish people its identity, and therefore its cohesion; but that the doctrinal content or implications of the observances are not expected to be taken with full intellectual seriousness by intelligent people.'

This comment is revealing in many ways. It typifies that Judaism is, first and foremost, a group evolutionary strategy by a genetically distinct population. Secondly, it reveals why the average Western secular Jew is sanguine about supporting Gush Emunin and other ultra-orthodox movements in Israel. They know that Judaism is a racial-nationalist movement decked out in the garb of religion and that what counts most, over and above doctrinal truth, is the group cohesion of Jews as a distinct ethnic community.

At the same time both religious and secular Jews are fiercely opposed to manifestations of group cohesion on the part of white people – in the eyes of most Jews we are all, no matter what our politics, proto-Nazis. That's why they aggressively pursue the destruction of the pillars of Western civilisation – white group cohesion, Christianity, marriage, the nuclear family, patriotism – as aggressively as the Allies imposed the denazification policy in Germany in the 1940s and 1950s. Most Jews essentially make no distinction.
