Israeli Sniper on Portland State University

Portland State Investigates a Professor Who Accused a Student of FBI Ties

By Jill Laster

Portland State University is investigating a tenured professor of economics who is reported to have accused a student during class of being an FBI informant and selling weapons to other members of the class.

Students in the class say the professor, John B. Hall, stopped teaching in the middle of a lecture on January 14.

According to their accounts, Mr. Hall said an FBI informant was in the room and pointed at one of their classmates, Zaki Bucharest.

Mr. Hall then went on to say that Mr. Bucharest had served as a sniper in the Israeli army, tried to sell weapons to members of the class, and worked with the FBI, among other claims, the students said. Mr. Hall also showed students a letter he had written to the FBI.

"His voice was in a totally normal tone," said Brett Condron, a student in the class. "It was just like he was lecturing on."

Students say Mr. Bucharest, who is chief of staff for the university's student government, stayed silent while the professor talked. When Mr. Hall finished speaking, Mr. Bucharest stood and told the class that it was true that he had been a sniper in the Israeli army, but that Mr. Hall was wrong about other things. He then left.

"I expected that Zak was in on the joke and would scream, 'Psych,'" said another student, Jeremy Veysseire.

Mr. Hall could not be reached by phone or e-mail for comment on Thursday.

In a letter to the university's student-run newspaper, the Vanguard, Mr. Hall wrote that, based upon his students' reports, "I cannot help but to think that the process currently is being shaped in order to end my tenure at PSU."

"I decided to take a stand," he said in the letter. "I observed the situation becoming extremely dangerous, not only for me but for about eight of my very finest students. I felt that what I had to do should not have been my responsibility."

A university spokesman, Scott Gallagher, said a student has filed a complaint against Mr. Hall, but the spokesman could not give any details. He said Mr. Hall has been relieved of his teaching duties and an investigation is under way; no disciplinary action has been taken so far.

The university said it had no record of any complaints being filed about Mr. Bucharest.

A new professor has been brought in to teach Mr. Hall's class, and students have been encouraged to go to the university's office of public safety if they have any concerns about their well-being.

Mr. Bucharest's lawyer, Elden Rosenthal, declined to comment beyond issuing a statement in which his client stated: "I have never been affiliated with the FBI in any way, and I have never been an informant. I have never in any way done anything to incite violence at PSU. I have admired Professor Hall since I first took a class from him and cannot imagine what I did or said to cause him to treat me the way he did."

The Vanguard first reported the story on Wednesday. Its Web site crashed at one point because of high traffic the story drew, said Sarah J. Christensen, the editor in chief.

"It's just a very confusing situation," Ms. Christensen said. "I think that's what's so interesting. It's a whodunit."

An Ethnie without a sense of peoplehood will end up being used to achieve the goals of other ethnies.  -- Michael Santomauro 

A Sense of Peoplehood is not a Pathology

It is not racist for a professor such as Alan Dershowitz or for a professor like Kevin MacDonald to advocate for their ethnic group interests.

The words for bigotry, that are often used, such as: ant-Semitic, anti-white, anti-black, anti-Arab, anti-feminist, anti-gay and hundreds of other labels, are for the most part overstated. Instead, it should be seen as pro-white, or pro-Jewish or pro-women or pro-traditional family and not be ashamed of it.

These "pro" sensibilities are part of the human condition, not to be pathologized into an "anti."

It is about group interests.

A race or an ethnie without a sense of peoplehood or ethnichood will end up being used to achieve the goals of other ethnies. (Yes, ethnie, not ethnic).

The feelings or thoughts for peoplehood is not a pathology. The European-American will have White ethnic interests and it is not racist to have them. Just as Hispanics, Asians, Jews and Blacks have their own ethnic interests, it should not be a pathology for Whites to have ethnic interests. –Michael Santomauro

To be a Zionist means anti-Semites are right.

 

To Be a Zionist

by Yancey Ames

Currently the Israeli propaganda apparat pretends that to be anti-Israeli is to be anti-Semitic. But as any student of Zionism knows, to be a Zionist one must believe that the anti-Semites are right.

This claim is so shocking in its audacity that it requires irrefutable documentation. The documentation comes from unimpeachable sources – the Zionists themselves. From Lenni Brenner's book "Zionism in the Age of the Dictators: A Reappraisal" we quote from the subsection entitled "The Appeal of the Blood Idea." According to the biographer Emil Ludwig:

"Hitler will be forgotten in a few years, but he will have a beautiful monument in Palestine. You know, the coming of the Nazis was rather a welcome thing. So many of our German Jews were hovering between two coasts; so many of them were riding the treacherous currents between the Scylla of assimilation and the Charybis of a nodding acquaintance with Jewish things. Thousands who seemed to be completely lost to Judaism were brought back to the fold by Hitler, and for that I am personally grateful."

Second the opinion of Ludwig was the renowned poet of Zion, Chaim Nachman Bialik. He wrote:

"Hitlerism, the poet feels, has rendered at least one service in drawing no lines between the faithful Jew and the apostate Jew. Had Hitler excepted the baptized Jew, there would have developed the unedifying spectacle of thousands of Jews running to the baptismal founts. Hitlerism has perhaps saved German Jewry, which was being assimilated into annihilation. At the same time, it has made the world so conscious of the Jewish problem, that they can no longer ignore it.

"Indeed it is quite true that Judaism, by penetrating into all the nations actually did undermine the remnant of that sort of idolatry. . . but perhaps the strongest force in this process was an 'apostate' or 'assimiliated' Jews of all types who entered into the very body of Christianity and stirred its very bowels and went on slowly undermining the remnants of paganism as a result of their Jewish volition and Jewish blood. I, too, like Hitler, believe in the power of the blood idea. These were the men – although often the names of great men – Jews are called in their stead – who smoothed the roads for the great movements of freedom all over the world. The Renaissance, Liberalism, Democracy, Socialism and Communism. . . Anti-Semites sometimes have a clear disconnect. Jewish influence has indeed been very powerful in this connection; we ought not to deny it." [pp. 59-60]

As damning as these statements are as to the essential similarity of Zionist and anti-Semitic ideology, they cannot compare with the classic formulation of Chaim Weizmann, the most famous and influential of all Zionist leaders. In discussing his relations with Sir William Gordon, the author of implicitly anti-Jewish, anti-alien legislation, Weizmann wrote as follows in his autobiography, "Trial and Error":

"Our people were rather hard on [Gordon]. The Alien Bill in England, and the movement which grew up around it were natural phenomena. . . Whenever the quantity of Jews in any country reaches the saturation point, that country reacts against them. . . The fact that the actual number of Jews in England, and in their proportion to the total population, was smaller than in other countries was irrelevant; the determining factor in this matter is not the solubility of the Jew, but the solvent power of the country. . . this cannot be looked upon as anti-Semitism in the ordinary or vulgar sense of that word, it is a universal social and economic concomitant of Jewish immigration, and we cannot shake it off. . . though my views on immigration were naturally in sharp conflict with his, we discussed these problems in a quite objective and even friendly way." [p. 4]

Finally, to make absolutely clear the Zionist position to even the most feeble-minded, Jacob Klatzkin made what might be termed the classic "Zionism for Dummies" statement in 1925:

"If we do not admit the rightfulness of anti-Semitism, we deny the rightfulness of our own nationalism. If our people is deserving and willing to love its own natural life, then it is an alien body thrust into the nation among whom it lies, an alien body that insists on its own distinctive identity, reducing the domain of their life. It is right, therefore, that they should fight against us for their national integrity. . . Instead of establishing societies for defense against the anti-Semites, who want to reduce our rights, we should establish societies for defense against our friends who desire to defend our rights."

The Zionists have hoodwinked a great many gullible people into believing that Israel is a part of Western civilization in the Middle East. But as these documented statements demonstrate, the Zionists regarded themselves as refugees from a Western civilization which rejected Jews.

Given this historical mentality behind Zionism, it is small wonder that Zionism has always bitten the hand which feeds it. The Zionists turned against the British who had granted them the title deed to Palestine; they spit on the United States which supplies them with super-abundant money, technology and arms. Zionism was to have solved the age-old "Jewish problem"; but it has merely transplanted it to a particularly sensitive part of the world. 

One of the appeals of the Zionists in the World War One era was that a Jewish state in Palestine would dampen Jewish world-wide enthusiasm for the Bolsheviks in Russia. Instead Zionism in Palestine has subjected the Arabs to the same terror that was imposed on the Russians.

Zionism has fulfilled none of its original promises. Its original ideology has been forgotten because it conflicts too blatantly with contemporary sensibilities. It does not follow that the Zionist conception of the incompatibility of Jews and non-Jews was necessarily wrong, although the conception of planting a Jewish state in an Arab land very clearly was wrong.

The question now before the world is: Quo vadis, Zionism and Israel? Israel is certainly proving itself incompatible with the rest of the world. Shall Zionism solve the "Arab problem" with the same apartheid in once insisted was the answer to the "Jewish Problem"? That appears to be its intent.

Zionism certainly believes that Jews are as incompatible with Muslim Arabs as they once were with Christian Europeans. Zionism, in a sense, is once again proving that the anti-Semites were correct. Jews will never reform and Zionist Israel is the proof. What an ironic comment on the ultimate failure of Zionism.

Left Targets Kevin MacDonald Again. How About These Professors Too?

By Anonymous Attorney

It's long been rough going for Kevin MacDonald, the California State University/Long Beach psychology professor whose writings on "implicit whiteness", Jewish influence and other topics have brought on SPLC ($PLC) investigations, faculty denunciations and, he blogs recently, classroom disruptors.

It's a price to be paid in a time when advocacy for whites has become, bar none, America's most towering taboo. The good professor might have to dip into the materials on "psychological stress caused by ostracism" floating around his office somewhere.

Here are some students bragging about efforts to have him removed from his teaching position, with a focus on his recent support for a Third Party effort:

"Senior English major Doug Kauffman was one of the students who led the demonstration in MacDonald's class last Tuesday.

"'We planned this [demonstration] at least a month in advance; the goal would be to have every student just get up and walk out,' Kauffman said.

"Marylou Cabral, a senior art education major and participant in the demonstration, commented on the student's reactions.

"'Many seemed appalled, and I think a few even left,' Cabral said. 'Our goal is to let students know about [MacDonald's] involvement in Freedom 14 and other neo-Nazi groups. We feel that the students need to know what they're getting into.'

"Both Kauffman and Cabral are students at CSULB and members of the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), a Marxist and Leninist organization that advocates revolutionary change and progressive reform.

[Students call for removal of psychology professor: Tenured professor Kevin MacDonald says he just wants to teach, regardless of his political views, by David Cowan, Daily 49er, January 31, 2010]

But if they're going to fire Kevin MacDonald, logically they should take care of a few other professors while they're at it:

• Robert Jensen

Jensen [Email him] is a journalism professor at the University of Texas whose hatred of whites practically radiates from his body. He once declared, in a book titled Heart of Whiteness: Confronting Race, Racism and White Privilege, that "I don't think white people should love their whiteness. Better for everyone, I think, that we take a shot first at hating it". Imagine the reaction if a professor had substituted "blackness" for "whiteness"! Jensen went on: "I want to live in a world where I can at least imagine that someday I will be able to stop being white." [VDARE.com note: Jensen appeared previously on VDARE.com when he denounced Thanksgiving.]

Jews have a term for this: the self-hating Jew. Whites also apparently have a name for it: tenured journalism professor. (And we wonder why the MSM takes the stances it does).

As can be seen from his website, Jensen isn't shy about his extreme anti-white stance, or his political involvement. Yet I'm unaware of any students disrupting his class, fellow faculty members denouncing him, or Heidi Beirich camping out near his house and going through his garbage.

And a white student required to take one of Jensen's classes might just have a legitimate concern: is this guy going to flunk me in the name of punishing the evil white race?

So what's the difference between Kevin MacDonald and Robert Jensen?

Setting aside scholarship quality or pedagogical skill, it's that they're on opposite sides of the race issue in America. Jensen's on the "right" side, and finds himself nesting cozily in Austin. MacDonald is on the "wrong" side, and finds himself the target of countless attacks.

• Noel Ignatiev

Ignatiev, a history professor at the Massachusetts College of Art, is founder of a journal [Email them]( called Race Traitor Motto: treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity) and a fellow at Harvard's W.E.B. DuBois Institute. He wrote in the Harvard Magazine that "abolishing the white race" is "so desirable that some may find it hard to believe" that anyone other than "committed white supremacists" would oppose it.[ Abolish the White Race, September-October 2002 ]

Well, sure—your typical Republican member of Congress isn't exactly standing in the way of that plan. But Ignatiev does put it awfully bluntly.

Again, might not a white student in his class feel a little uncomfortable? If so, none have called any attention to the problem.

• Gregory Jay

Gregory Jay [Email him] is an English professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. How that qualifies him to bash whites as the source of all the world's evil, I'm not sure. But he does.

Jay is a proponent of "whiteness studies", which as you might guess, does not have anything to do with appreciation of white people or their cultures. In an essay titled "Who Invented White People?",[PDF]he calls "whiteness" an insane delusion with no scientific foundation, asserts that we're all mongrels, and insists that whites benefit from unearned privilege.

If "race does not exist", would Professor Jay consider dumping affirmative action? And have you ever heard any of the "race does not exist" crowd direct this at blacks or Hispanics, lecturing them that "blackness is a social construct" or that being a Hispanic or a Latino is a "delusion" and that La Raza should pack up and go home?

Funny, haven't heard that.

And again—it goes without saying that Gregory Jay isn't having his classes disrupted or fellow faculty members holding somber meetings on what to do about his obvious anti-white racism.

In the past, CSULB's president, F. King Alexander, [Email him]and its Academic Senate have issued statements distancing themselves from MacDonald. But to its credit, the school currently appears to be backing his freedom to research and write on the topics of interest to him. "Academic freedom, free speech... we don't change that", a university spokeswoman told me over the phone.

CSULB is also making it known that such disruptions violate university policy. Campus police are aware of the situation and are ready to respond to calls (562-985-5049 OR 911).

My advice to the disruptors: try debating the issues instead. Give speeches on your own time. Write letters. Blog for the socialist blogs.

Heck, invite Jensen, Ignatiev and Jay for a university-wide anti-white forum. I'm pretty sure nobody will be there to disrupt it.

WHO’S THE REAL BIGOT? MEL GIBSON OR SARAH SILVERMAN?

 

February 4, 2010   WHO'S THE REAL BIGOT? MEL GIBSON OR SARAH SILVERMAN? On today's edition of "The View," they ran a clip of entertainer Sarah Silverman's appearance on Bill Maher's HBO show. In the portion of the show they aired today, Silverman is shown slamming Pope Benedict XVI for not selling the Vatican to feed the poor. Catholic League president Bill Donohue raises some questions about it: Mel Gibson has a new movie out, and all that many reporters can talk about is the anti-Semitic remark he made four years ago when inebriated. By contrast, Sarah Silverman got a pass last October for her foul-mouthed attack on the pope—rendered when cold sober—and had it repeated today, much to the delight of Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Behar. If they had any guts, they would have aired the most indefensible thing Silverman said on Maher's show. She said if the pope sells the Vatican, he "will get crazy p---y. All the p---y." Silverman was nothing if not defensive about her anti-Catholic remarks being made by a Jew. She said that this "has nothing to do with me being Jewish. You know, a lot of mail was like, 'What if it was Jewish?' You know, yeah. If the Jews owned something like that I would be, I'd have no religion. I'm not talking as a Jew. I just can't help that I'm a Jew—it comes out of my pores." Silverman should feel guilty. Just as it is despicable for ex-Catholics like Hasselbeck and Behar to relentlessly assault Catholic sensibilities, it is despicable for a Jew to do so as well. After Gibson made his drunken remarks, he said, "I want to apologize specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said." But Silverman will never apologize to Catholics for her scripted hate speech. The double standard is sickening.   Contact "The View" executive producer: bill.geddie@abc.com

Only U.S. citizens are eligible for employment with the Executive Office for Immigration Review and the United States Attorneys' Offices. Unless otherwise indicated in a particular job advertisement, non-U.S. citizens may apply for employment with other organizations, but should be advised that appointments of non-U.S. citizens are extremely rare; such appointments would be possible only if necessary to accomplish the Department's mission and would be subject to strict security requirements. Applicants who hold dual citizenship in the U.S. and another country will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

There is no formal rating system for applying veterans' preference to attorney appointments in the excepted service; however, the Department of Justice considers veterans' preference eligibility as a positive factor in attorney hiring. Applicants eligible for veterans' preference must include that information in their cover letter or resume and attach supporting documentation (e.g., the DD 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty and other supporting documentation) to their submissions. Although the "point" system is not used, per se, applicants eligible to claim 10-point preference must submit Standard Form (SF) 15, Application for 10-Point Veteran Preference, and submit the supporting documentation required for the specific type of preference claimed (visit the OPM website, www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/SF15.pdf for a copy of SF 15, which lists the types of 10-point preferences and the required supporting document(s). Applicants should note that SF 15 requires supporting documentation associated with service-connected disabilities or receipt of nonservice-connected disability pensions to be dated 1991 or later except in the case of service members submitting official statements or retirement orders from a branch of the Armed Forces showing that his or her retirement was due to a permanent service-connected disability or that he/she was transferred to the permanent disability retired list (the statement or retirement orders must indicate that the disability is 10% or more).

An Ethnie without a sense of peoplehood will end up being used to achieve the goals of other ethnies.  -- Michael Santomauro 

A Sense of Peoplehood is not a Pathology

It is not racist for a professor such as Alan Dershowitz or for a professor like Kevin MacDonald to advocate for their ethnic group interests.

The words for bigotry, that are often used, such as: ant-Semitic, anti-white, anti-black, anti-Arab, anti-feminist, anti-gay and hundreds of other labels, are for the most part overstated. Instead, it should be seen as pro-white, or pro-Jewish or pro-women or pro-traditional family and not be ashamed of it.

These "pro" sensibilities are part of the human condition, not to be pathologized into an "anti."

It is about group interests.

A race or an ethnie without a sense of peoplehood or ethnichood will end up being used to achieve the goals of other ethnies. (Yes, ethnie, not ethnic).

The feelings or thoughts for peoplehood is not a pathology. A European-American will have White ethnic interests and it is not racist to have them. Just as Hispanics, Asians, Jews and Blacks have their own ethnic interests, it should not be a pathology for Whites to have ethnic interests. –Michael Santomauro
