Secrets of the Federal Reserve Chapter 13: The 1930′s

Chapter 13: The 1930s
The Fed during the Hoover and Roosevelt administrations

Governor Eugene Meyer, Jr.

In 1930, Herbert Hoover appointed to the Federal Reserve Board an old friend from World War I days, Eugene Meyer, Jr., who had a long record of public service dating from 1915, when he went into partnership with Bernard Baruch in the Alaska-Juneau Gold Mining Company. Meyer had been a Special Advisor to the War Industries Board on Non-Ferrous Metals (gold, silver, etc.); Special Assistant to the Secretary of War on aircraft production; in 1917 he was appointed to the National Committee on War Savings, and was made Chairman of the War Finance Corporation from 1918-1926. He then was appointed chairman of the Federal Farm Loan Board from 1927-29.

Hoover put him on the Federal Reserve Board in 1930, and Franklin D. Roosevelt created the Reconstruction Bank for Reconstruction and Development in 1946. Meyer must have been a man of exceptional ability to hold so many important posts. However, there were some Senators who did not believe he should hold any Government office, because of his family background as an international gold dealer and his mysterious operations in billions of dollars of Government securities in the First World War. Consequently, the Senate held Hearings to determine whether Meyer ought to be on the Federal Reserve Board.

At these Hearings, Representative Louis T. McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee, said:

Eugene Meyer, Jr. has had his own crowd with him in the government since he started in 1917. His War Finance Corporation personnel took over the Federal Farm Loan System, and almost immediately afterwards, the Kansas City Join Stock Land Bank and the Ohio Joint Stock Land Bank failed.

HAGEE: ASHAMED OF JESUS’ NAME

HAGEE: ASHAMED OF JESUS’ NAME

By Rev. Ted Pike

To pray or not to pray in Jesus‚ name — that question now confronts Christian evangelicals. Increasingly, Jewish activists demand that Jesus‚ name go unmentioned in public prayers. They also insist that Christians not witness to Jews.

Some evangelicals give them what they want. Dr. John Hagee, passionate “Israel-first” televangelist, worked closely with the Jewish lobby to found Christians United for Israel (CUFI). CUFI’s purpose is to unite every evangelical across the nation to “speak and act with one voice in support of Israel.”

For three days in the Capitol last week, Hagee and an array of political and religious luminaries lavished praise on Israel and the Jewish people during Hagee’s 2nd Annual Israel/Washington, DC Summit. They did so while countless Americans agonized in prayer and concern over impending passage of Kennedy’s hate law amendment. Afterward, conference attendees walked the halls of Congress to lobby not against the hate bill but for Israel.

Oppressive “hate crime” laws, which evangelicals are beginning to realize will persecute them, were created by Jews–the Anti-Defamation League and B’nai B’rith International. (See, video Hate Laws: Making Criminals of Christians http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7217700265038533779 and http://www.adl.org/99hatecrime/intro.asp The state of Israel’s birth was midwifed by B’nai B’rith, the most powerful Jewish organization in the world during the last century. It claims to speak as “the voice of organized world Jewry.”

Zionism, the government of Israel, ADL/B’nai B’rith, and the global hate laws agenda all have one goal: a global bureaucracy run from Jerusalem which will make it a hate crime for any Gentile, Christian or Arab, to criticize Jews, matters Jewish, or the state of Israel.

Open Letter to Liberal Leader Stephane Dion

July 26, 2007 by

From: yasch@telus.net
Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007
To: Dion.S@parl.gc.ca
Subject: Dear Mr.Dion,

The Hon. Stephane Dion
Leader of the Opposition
House of Commons
Canada

Dear Mr.Dion,

You may have seen about twenty or more posts from me about this and related issues. I know it’s been a little much, but I also know that I reflect the sentiments of many millions of Canadians who will vote based on feelings related to the anxieties exposed in these posts.

I hope that you are fully aware of the issues that are becoming critical to millions of Canadians. No question, their anxieties will grow quickly as activist militants work to expand and deepen the campaign to expose the corporate and political hidden agenda. I have the same anxieties.

The anxiety is not a left or right reaction. It’s Canadian, like Garth Turner, Mel Hurtig, Maude Barlow,and Joe Blow on the street.

It’s a visceral reaction against the all too obvious and brutal aggression by the regime in Washington — global, hemispheric and continental — political, corporate and military aggression.

It’s a Canadian fear of being inexorably absorbed into the USAmerican imperial enterprise, aided and abetted by the present Government of Canada, soul-mates of the present American leadership.

An Iraqi passport ? – Pass !

by Layla Anwar

http://www.arabwomanblues.blogspot.com

The impasse of the Iraq pass document.

I had promised you sometime ago that I will write about the so called “Iraqi” passport. But events took the better of my time and I got sidetracked with slightly more important issues such as deaths, battered relatives, tortured family members, imprisoned relations and others who simply disappeared… So do excuse the delay.

The first thing you need to know is that the process of getting a passport or renewing one or changing one is a NIGHTMARE.

The new Kosher passport now holds the letter G. This passport has met and has passed “international security standards.”

Now if you do not have a G passport, you are screwed. If you happen to have an N, M, H or S series passport you are doubly screwed.

Holding on…

by Layla Anwar

http://www.arabwomanblues.blogspot.com

I had a very poignant dream last night that left me shaking till this very hour, as I am writing this…

I dreamt I was in what looked like a pleasant place, as if pausing on a journey.I was sitting eating ice cream and enjoying it. (I do not like sweets by the way.)

Next to me came three very well dressed ladies, looking very refined. They were westerners. Their jewelry shined and sparked under the pale sun and it was a cloudy day. They sat very close to me, on the same table. Too close for comfort.

They ordered a lot of food but kept eyeing and vying my little scoop of ice cream. I tried ignoring them and remained civil which I usually do in such cases.

One of these very sophisticated women, simply reached out and took my little bowl of ice cream and started eating from it, as if I was not there, as if I was invisible.

A Second Coming.

by Layla Anwar

http://www.arabwomanblues.blogspot.com

Iraq is the biggest sacrifice any people can offer for the sake of “Truth”.

The Iraqi “enterprise” or “experience” is the fig leaf that has unmasked many… Many Americans, many Westerners, many Arabs, many Iranians…many Christians, many Jews and many Muslims…including the Dalai Lama. (So Buddhists save your breath.)

Iraq is our cross and Iraq is your salvation – of that I am certain. It is an intuitive knowledge. I just know it to be true. The same way I knew that the dream I had several months prior to the 2003 invasion to be a premonitory one.

Only does the dream, I had back then, make sense now. I alluded to that dream in one of my earliest posts and titled it “The Crucified Boy and his Resurrection.”.

Six months or so, prior to our “Liberation”, I had this powerful oneiric vision.
I remember waking up in the very early hours of the morning, drenched in sweat and crying my eyes out. I relayed that dream to some members of my family – a dream that forebode what was later to unfold in Reality.

I dreamt of a very old wooden cross planted on Iraqi soil. I saw two American GI’s lifting a young boy (around 11), lifting him from his upper arms and nailing him on that cross. In the dream, the sun set very quickly and everything got shrouded in a thick obscurity. The GI’s walked away, leaving the boy on the cross. I remember seeing the earth scorched brown black. I said to myself in the dream : ” Darkness has landed and will cover all of us.”

THE PROTOCOLS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION

July 24, 2007 by

[NOTE: THIS MATERIAL HAS DISAPPEARED FROM THE RADICAL FORUM FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WE'RE LOOKING FOR IT. SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE. ED.] 

EDITOR’S NOTE: In the interests of educating the stupid Goyim (Gentiles or non-Jews) of this planet the Radical Press is now presenting to readers the Jewish agenda for global subjugation of all the non-Jewish population of Planet Earth. This agenda was leaked to the public back in 1905 when a book containing the 24 Protocols was published in Russian by Sergyei Nilus.

The book was then smuggled out of Russia by a British journalist and translated into English. As the Introduction in that translation states:

“Of the Protocols themselves little need be said in the way of introduction. The book in which they are embodied was published by Sergyei Nilus in Russia in 1905. A copy of this is in the British Museum bearing the date of its reception, August 10, 1906. All copies that were known to exist in Russia were destroyed in the Kerensky regime, and under his successors the possession of a copy by anyone in Soviet land was a crime sufficient to ensure the owner’s of being shot on sight. The fact is in itself sufficient proof of the genuineness of the Protocols.”

Just click on to the Page at the top right of this site where it says (in English) “THE PROTOCOLS OF THE LEARNED ELDERS OF ZION” (that is, if you’re smart enough to figure that out! :-)

Shadows on a Wall…

By Layla Anwar

I cannot erase her portrait from my mind. Neither hers nor that of others I have seen, day in, day out.
That same picture, as if permanently fixed, repeating itself in Baghdad, Damascus, Amman…

She must have been around 70 years old. She looked thin. Her black abaya hanging loosely on her head. Her pale face showed no bitterness, no anger, no hate…I wished it did. They would have told me she was still alive. None of that. Just that lost look that has become like a stamp, a seal, a “made in Iraq” (or more aptly made in America or made in Iran) label, by which you can recognize us, us the “ordinary” ones.

Strands of disheveled hair escaped from under her abaya, covering one of her eyes and she let it be…

She was sqatting in the shade, propped by a cracked grey wall behind her. One hand was holding her head and the other freely hanging by her side.

How the Jewish-Zionist Grip on American Film and Television Promotes Bias Against Arabs and Muslims

How the Jewish-Zionist Grip on American Film and Television Promotes Bias Against Arabs and Muslims

by Abdullah Mohammad Sindi

Unquestionably the most powerful molder of opinion in the world today is the American global media, and especially the Hollywood motion picture industry. Ever since Zionist Jews forcibly established the State of Israel on the land of Arab Palestine in 1948 (with a great deal of American help), and as Arabs and Israelis have struggled for control of this land in the years since, Hollywood and the rest of American mass media have carried out a campaign to disparage Arabs and tarnish their image.

American motion pictures and television — which have promoted negative images of non-Caucasians, including Native Americans, African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Asian-Americans — since the 1950s have singled out Arabs and Muslims, more often than any other ethnic-religious group, as objects of hatred, contempt, and derision. (Because Arabs are the world’s most numerous Semitic group, this hostility against them is literally anti-Semitic.)

‘Villain of Choice’

In American television, writes Professor Shaheen, “the villain of choice today is the Arab.” He also says: “To be an Arab in America today is to be an object of contempt and ridicule by television under the guise of entertainment. To me this anti-Arab image on entertainment manifests itself in the politics of America.” 1

Misconceptions

This media campaign fosters numerous misconceptions about Arabs and their prevailing religion, Islam. For example, although Arabs have lived for centuries in thriving metropolitan centers such as Rabat, Algiers, Alexandria, Cairo, Damascus, Jerusalem, Beirut, Mecca (Makkah) and Baghdad, and have built complex, civilized societies across the Arab world, as well as in Europe’s Iberian Peninsula, many Westerners have been persuaded to believe that Arabs are typically uncultured nomads who live in desert tents.

Similarly, while many Americans regard OPEC — the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries — as synonymous with Arabs and the Arab world, and while the US media routinely blames Arabs whenever OPEC decides to raise oil prices, in fact six of the 13 OPEC member states are not Arab.

Also typically, American television and motion pictures often depict Arabs and Muslims, uniquely, as religious bigots, lacking any tolerance for the religious sensibilities of others. In fact, for much of history, Islam has been more tolerant of Christianity (and of Judaism) than vice versa. Moreover, it was Jewish Zionists who established Israel, in the “promised land” of Palestine, as a state exclusively for the “chosen people.”

While the Arabic word “Allah” is often invoked in American films in a way designed to evoke derision and cynicism, conjuring an image of some weird pagan deity, in fact “Allah” is simply the Arabic word for God. Not only Arab Muslims, but Arab Christians and even Arab Jews, use this word as their term for God.

Although officially classified by US government agencies as “White” or “Caucasian,” Arabs (and particularly Arab men) are sometimes depicted in American television and movies as Negroid blacks, reinforcing a derogatory image of Arabs as so-called “sand niggers.”

“Terrorists” are active all over the world, in countries as diverse as Britain, Italy, Ireland, Russia, Germany, Spain, Japan, Israel, and the United States. (The terrorist record of the Jewish Defense League, for example, is well documented. In 1985 the FBI named the JDL as the second most active terrorist groups in the US.) 2 However, Hollywood has done much to encourage Americans to associate “terrorists” with Arabs (especially Palestinians), and Muslim “militants.”

Secrets of the Federal Reserve/Eustace Mullins Chapter 12: The Great Depression

Chapter 12: The Great Depression
The Fed pops the speculative bubble and the insiders profit

Popping the Speculative Bubble

R.G. Hawtrey, the English economist, said, in the March, 1926 American Economic Review:

“When external investment outstrips the supply of general savings, the investment market must carry the excess with money borrowed from the banks. A remedy is control of credit by a rise in bank rate.”

The Federal Reserve Board applied this control of credit, but not in 1926, nor as a remedial measure. It was not applied until 1929, and then the rate was raised as a punitive measure, to freeze out everybody but the big trusts.

Professor Cassel, in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, August 1928, wrote that:

“The fact that a central bank fails to raise its bank rate in accordance with the actual situation of the capital market very much increases the strength of the cyclical movement of trade, with all its pernicious effects on social economy. A rational regulation of the bank rate lies in our hands, and may be accomplished only if we perceive its importance and decide to go in for such a policy. With a bank rate regulated on these lines the conditions for the development of trade cycles would be radically altered, and indeed, our familiar trade cycles would be a thing of the past.”

This is the most authoritative premise yet made relating that our business depressions are artificially precipitated. The occurrence of the Panic of 1907, the Agricultural Depression of 1920, and the Great Depression of 1929, all three in good crop years and in periods of national prosperity, suggests that premise is not guesswork. Lord Maynard Keynes pointed out that most theories of the business cycle failed to relate their analysis adequately to the money mechanism. Any survey or study of a depression which failed to list such factors as gold movements and pressures on foreign exchange would be worthless, yet American economists have always dodged this issue.

The League of Nations had achieved its goal of getting the nations of Europe back on the gold standard by 1928, but three-fourths of the world’s gold was in France and the United States. The problem was how to get that gold to countries which needed it as a basis for money and credit. The answer was action by the Federal Reserve System.

Following the secret meeting of the Federal Reserve Board and the heads of the foreign central banks in 1927, the Federal Reserve Banks in a few months doubled their holdings of Government securities and acceptances, which resulted in the exportation of five hundred million dollars in gold in that year. The System’s market activities forced the rates of call money down on the Stock Exchange, and forced gold out of the country. Foreigners also took this opportunity to purchase heavily in Government securities because of the low call money rate.

Secrets of the Federal Reserve. Chapter 11: Lord Montagu Norman The Bank of England, gold transfers, and the Roaring 20s

July 18, 2007 by

http://www.modernhistoryproject.org/mhp/ArticleDisplay.php?Article=SecretsCh11

Chapter 11: Lord Montagu Norman The Bank of England, gold transfers, and the Roaring 20s

Benjamin Strong and Montagu Norman

The collaboration between Benjamin Strong and Lord Montagu Norman is one of the greatest secrets of the twentieth century. Benjamin Strong married the daughter of the president of Bankers Trust in New York, and subsequently succeeded to its presidency. Carroll Quigley, in “Tragedy and Hope” says:

“Strong became Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as the joint nominee of [J.P.] Morgan and of Kuhn, Loeb Company in 1914.” [87]

Lord Montagu Norman is the only man in history who had both his maternal grandfather and his paternal grandfather serve as Governors of the Bank of England. His father was with Brown, Shipley Company, the London Branch of Brown Brothers (now Brown Brothers Harriman).

Montagu Norman (1871-1950) came to New York to work for Brown Brothers in 1894, where he was befriended by the Delano family and by James Markoe of Brown Brothers. He returned to England, and in 1907 was named to the Court of the Bank of England. In 1912, he had a nervous breakdown, and went to Switzerland to be treated by [Carl] Jung, as was fashionable among the powerful group which he represented. [87b]

Lord Montagu Norman was Governor of the Bank of England from 1916 to 1944. During this period, he participated in the central bank conferences which set up the Crash of 1929 and a worldwide depression. In “The Politics of Money” by Brian Johnson, he writes:

“Strong and Norman, intimate friends, spent their holidays together at Bar Harbour and in the South of France… Norman therefore became Strong’s alter ego. . . . Strong’s easy money policies on the New York money market from 1925-28 were the fulfillment of his agreement with Norman to keep New York interest rates below those of London. For the sake of international cooperation, Strong withheld the steadying hand of high interest rates from New York until it was too late. Easy money in New York had encouraged the surging American boom of the late 1920s, with its fantastic heights of speculation.” [88]

Benjamin Strong died suddenly in 1928. The New York Times obituary, Oct. 17, 1928, describes the conference between the directors of the three great central banks in Europe in July, 1927:

“Mr. Norman, Bank of England, Strong of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, and Dr. Hjalmar Schacht of the Reichsbank, their meeting referred to at the time as a meeting of ‘the world’s most exclusive club’. No public reports were ever made of the foreign conferences, which were wholly informal, but which covered many important questions of gold movements, the stability of world trade, and world economy.”

Jews Still Controlling Russia

July 18, 2007 by

[Editor's Note: Whomever is willing to meet with Zionist Jews such as Henry Kissinger is prone to suspicion of being a willing accomplice in the grand scheme by the Jews to continue their control of global events. It has been my conviction for some time now that the Jews who first instigated the Russian Revolution via their Jew-run and financed Bolshevik "party" never relinquished the strangle-hold that they've held on the Russian people as a whole. Nothing that Putin has done thus far is convincing enough to suggest that he isn't also in the pockets of these international thieves and criminals and is merely playing the role that his Jewish taskmasters have set for him.]
—————-

Kissinger-led U.S. group attends closed debate at Putin home
21:39 | 13/ 07/ 2007

NOVO-OGARYOVO (Moscow Region), July 13 (RIA Novosti) – A group of Russian and U.S. dignitaries gathered Friday at the presidential residence near Moscow behind closed doors in a bid to repair shattered ties.

The panel called “Russia-USA: A Look Into the Future,” led by former U.S. Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and former Russian Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov, declined to comment on the first Moscow session, but said it was a successful beginning to a series of high-level meetings.

“We discussed many issues. Our goal was not to get media coverage, score public relations points, or press home any propaganda messages. We came here to solve problems,” Primakov said.

“We agreed to hold the next meeting in mid-December in Washington, D.C.,” where the panelists will meet with President George W. Bush, he added.

Kissinger thanked Putin for his hospitality and praised the Russian leader for his realistic and open approach.

“We appreciate the time that President Putin gave us and the frank manner in which he explained his point of view,” he said.

When asked whether U.S. unilateral interventionism was on the agenda, Kissinger said that “nuclear proliferation” and “nuclear threats,” rather than U.S. policies, are the biggest danger to world peace.

“I do not think that [U.S.] expansion is a problem of the period. The problem of the period is how to avoid nuclear conflict and in this case we believe that Russia and America should have common objectives.”

Addressing the panel’s first meeting, Putin thanked its participants for their quick response to the idea to set up such a high-level group, first aired during his April meeting with Kissinger and Primakov, and urged them to keep the debate as close to the ground as possible.

“[Your findings] should not be brought to our foreign ministries to gather dust there. They should be treated as something of practical use,” he said.

He stressed that the idea was to set up a broad panel that would be open-minded when discussing issues.

“We cannot afford having a Russia-U.S. relationship that depends on the current political situation inside both our countries. We cannot allow our relationship to serve such narrow issues, as, for example, election campaigns in Russia or the U.S.,” Putin said.

Apart from Kissinger, the U.S. team includes former Secretary of State George Schultz; former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin; former Special Representative for Arms Control, Nonproliferation and Disarmament Ambassador Thomas Graham, Jr.; former Senator Sam Nunn; and Chevron Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David O’Reilly.

Apart from Primakov, the Russian team includes Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov; former Ambassador to the U.S. Yuly Vorontsov; Deputy Board Chairman of UES Russia Leonid Drachevsky; UC Rusal Deputy Chief Executive Officer Alexander Livshits, and former Soviet Armed Forces Chief of Staff Mikhail Moiseyev.

First There Was an Earthquake, then There Was no Earthquake

First There Was an Earthquake, then There Was no Earthquake

by C. L. Cook

Monday, July 16th, 2007 will not be a date that will live in infamy. Not at least within the marbled corridors and high haunts of the British Broadcast Corporation (BBC) editorial board.

Listening to the Beeb’s World Service radio dispatches, aired on the hour, the two massive earthquakes that struck Japan, destroying hundreds of buildings, killing nine at last count, and injuring more than a thousand people rated only a fourth story position in the six minute, eight news item segment.

This despite the marginally pertinent fact of the natural disaster: The trembler proved too much for the local nuclear power plant, triggering fires, a spill of radioactive water, and the venting of radioactive gases.

Rather than lead the news with this, the B.B.C. editors decided to bang further their seeming constant drum beat for a broader war with Iran.

Reuters now reports, more than 10,000 people in Kashiwazaki, Japan are sheltering in evacuation centres in the wake of yesterday’s 6.8 earthquake, and aftershocks are still rocking the area.

The Beeb might be forgiven for not kenning the seriousness of the situation yesterday, (preferring to air their elaborate agit-prop piece blasting Iran’s mullahs), as Japanese officials had then only admitted to a “litre and a half” spillage of radioactive material from the seven-reactor Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear complex, the planet’s largest; but today, with the official admission that: The plant was not designed to withstand a 6.8 Richter scale quake; a hundred barrels containing nuclear waste were overturned and burst; 1200, not 1 and a half, litres of contaminated radioactive waste was released into the sea; and, a cloud of nuclear steam (cobalt-60, iodine and chromium-51) too was released into the atmosphere, the story still barely rated better than it did the day before.

Today the Japan earthquake item on the BBC followed yet another car bombing in Iraq, and the British government’s sabre rattling with Russia over the failure of that country to allow extradition of a man, ironically enough, they charge murdered another Russian with a radioactive isotope.

Reacting to the disaster and how it was managed, Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe complained about the company’s slow reporting of the spills, saying;

“Nuclear power plants can only be operated with the trust of the people.”

Adding;

“For this, if something happens they need to report on it thoroughly and quickly.”

Anyone at the BBC listening?

Hate Bill Moves Forward In Senate

July 17, 2007 by

URGENT ALERT – Hate Bill
Moves Forward In Senate
By Rev. Ted Pike
7-15-7

http://www.rense.com/general77/urgt.htm

Hoping to avoid detection from opponents in the religious right, Senators Edward Kennedy and Gordon Smith have quietly moved the federal hate crimes bill into the Senate. The Senate will vote, perhaps as early as this Tuesday on whether to include it as a “rider” on the huge federal defense bill, HR 1585. Now designated SA 2067, the new Senate hate bill is about half the length of the House version which passed the House earlier this year. But it gives its primary supporters, the Anti-Defamation League and the homosexual lobby, everything they need to end free speech in America, establishing a mammoth federal “thought crimes” bureaucracy as in Canada.

Lovers of free speech may have only one day, Monday, to persuade the Senate not to include the hate bill as a rider. If you value freedom for yourself and your children you must give top priority to calling your Senator first thing Monday morning!

Call (1-877) 851-6437 toll free or (202) 225-3121 toll and tell your Senator: “Please don’t attach Sen. Kennedy’s hate crimes bill SA 2067 to the arms bill S 1585. Hate laws have taken away free speech in Canada and many European countries. If you do vote for the hate bill, I and my friends will do our best to defeat you in the next election!”

Call many other Senators! Come to http://www.truthtellers.org/ for lists of Senators who might be persuaded to vote against Kennedy and Smith’s hate crimes amendment.

The hate bill needs 60 votes in order to be added to the arms bill. If we can pressure only a half dozen to vote against it, we can powerfully weaken the hate bills chance of passage. Yes, if the hate bill is defeated as an amendment, Kennedy and Smith may reintroduce it as “stand alone” legislation. Yet, having already suffered one rejection it would be much more difficult to pass. These conspirators want to move it through quickly, as “stealth” legislation. They are doing so over the weekend so that the religious right will not have time to fully mobilize on Monday. Let’s not let them get away with it!

Call, and call again, Monday morning. Take action as if your freedom and that of your children depended on it – as it surely does.

The Future is a Woman

By Layla Anwar
www.arabwomanblues.blogspot.com

Don’t you ever tire? I mean don’t you ever get sick with so much killing? Does your stomach not churn? Do you not get queazy or are you on a permanent Death fix ?

Us, women and I in particular, have had it with your “urges”, your killing fields and your killing games.

How many millions of dollars does it take to produce a bomb, a tank, a hand grenade…?

So much interest in terminating Life. Like you have participated in some big way in creating, reproducing Life. Unless of course, you consider that an average 10 mn top max intercourse followed by a 5 seconds orgasm, as a major contribution to Life.

The rest we need to deal with. Carry an emerging life for 9 months, labour pains, birth pangs… Maybe you are just an envious, jealous bunch. Since you cannot give birth, you take Life and give Death instead. And we are always here behind to pick up the pieces and sometimes there are no pieces left because you have included us in your filthy equation.

I am sure you realize that Life is a not a Terminator movie. No, I take that back. Anyone who produces, watches, and associates real Life to a crappy Terminator movie is demented. Demented people should be in asylums, certainly not roaming the streets and invading countries. And surely not ruling the World.

RCMP, U.S. Army block public forum on the Security and Prosperity Partnership

RCMP, U.S. Army block public forum on the Security and Prosperity Partnership

The Council of Canadians has been told it will not be allowed to rent a municipal community centre for a public forum it had planned to coincide with the next Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) summit in Montebello, Quebec on August 20 and 21.

The Municipality of Papineauville, which is about six kilometres from Montebello, has informed the Council of Canadians that the RCMP, the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) and the U.S. Army will not allow the municipality to rent the Centre Communautaire de Papineauville for a public forum on Sunday August 19, on the eve of the so-called Security and Prosperity Partnership Leaders Summit.

“It is deplorable that we are being prevented from bringing together a panel of writers, academics and parliamentarians to share their concerns about the Security and Prosperity Partnership with Canadians,” said Brent Patterson, director of organizing with the Council of Canadians. “Meanwhile, six kilometres away, corporate leaders from the United States, Mexico and Canada will have unimpeded access to our political leaders.”

As well as being shut out of Papineauville, the Council of Canadians has been told that the RCMP and the SQ will be enforcing a 25-kilometre security perimeter around the Chateau Montebello, where Stephen Harper will meet with George W. Bush and Felipe Calderón on August 20 and 21. According to official sources in Montebello, there will be checkpoints at Thurso and Hawkesbury, and vehicles carrying more than five people will be turned back.

Founded in 1985, the Council of Canadians is Canada’s largest citizens’ organization, with members and chapters across the country. The organization works to protect Canadian independence by promoting progressive policies on fair trade, clean water, safe food, public health care, and other issues of social and economic concern to Canadians.

Not so Kind…

by Layla Anwar

I am very pissed.

I do not have many kind words towards my fellow Iraqis. Let me qualify here, before you start jumping to conclusions.

I have no kind words towards that category of Iraqis who gave it away for Free to the Americans and the Iranians. I have absolutely no respect for them, no consideration and zero sympathy.

I have zero respect for those bastards living and working in the Green zone. I have total disdain for those who voted and now come meagerly complain about “lack of the promised democracy”…”but we voted” broken record. Sure you voted. You voted for your sects and your wallets.

I have absolutely no sympathy for those who applauded and filled their blogs with hurrays “Saddam is gone” and now cry over poor Iraq…and congratulate themselves with cheap words of sympathy coming from the occupier.

It took a bunch of your kind to make it happen. Now you have lost it all. I do not want to be too cruel and say you deserve what you are getting because I happen to be in the same boat… Oh how I wish someone would give me a life saving raft so I no longer have to be associated in name with you lot.

My condolences Iraqi hypocrites. You lost your country and made us, the rest, the silent majority who are not pocketing any of the American – Iranian “dough”, pay for it with our bodies, blood, children, selves and sanity….

Al Hajjaj was right. You are “ahl al-shiqak wa al-nifaq”.

Fuck you all.

“What are we supposed to do with our Dead”: Odds n’ Ends in the War on Terror

(Observations on unrelated facts from the weekly news)

by Mike Whitney

July 15, 2007

Part 1; Bush to Putin: “Let them eat cake”

Much has been made of the chummy relationship between George Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin. An incident, which was reported last week in the “UK Spectator”, shows that this so-called “man-to-man” friendship is a complete fraud created by the Washington press corps to conceal the real issues and to perpetuate the illusion that Bush is a normal guy.

You be the judge:

“Six years ago, when George W. Bush first hosted Mr Putin at his ranch in Texas, he famously claimed to have seen into his soul. At the time he phrased it slightly differently to an adviser, unaware that his microphone was still live and his remarks were being broadcast over the speaker system in the next room. ‘I’ve got him eating out of my hand,’ the President whispered. ‘You give these Russkies some cake and they’ll give you their souls.’ (Fraser Nelson “The Cold War is back” UK Spectator)

Spoken like a true friend, eh?

Part 2; Israel’s Friends on the Hill

For readers who may have missed the recent events on Capital Hill, there was this interesting tidbit which appeared The Jerusalem Post:

“The US House of Representatives unanimously passed a resolution Wednesday afternoon condemning a British call to boycott Israeli universities. The measure, approved 414 to 0, urged the European Union and governments around the world to reject the call by the leadership of the University and College Union of the United Kingdom to cease cooperation with Israeli institutions”.

Always nice to see diversity of opinion on these key humanitarian issues, isn’t it? Congress has been equally supportive of the punitive measures which have prevented food and medicine from entering the Gaza Strip in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions.

JOHN TWIGG NAMED LEADER OF B.C. REFEDERATION PARTY

July 15, 2007 by

News Release BCRefed07-01 July 12, 2007

JOHN TWIGG NAMED LEADER OF B.C. REFEDERATION PARTY

VICTORIA - The B.C. Refederation Party today announced the appointment of John Twigg as its interim leader and declared its plans to aggressively try to win seats in the May 2009 B.C. election.

Party president Dennis Shaw told a ceremony in front of the B.C. Legislature today (Thursday) that the six-years-old party now has an excellent opportunity to gain widespread popularity in the next election because Mr. Twigg has an extensive and unique background in B.C. politics and government that gives him and the party an ability to campaign on a full range of the crucial issues before the public today and to offer many creative new solutions to its problems too.

“Our party is six years old and still small, with only a few hundred members, but now with John’s expertise in the issues and with his journalist’s ability to make complex ideas more easily understood by people we in the party now have high hopes of doing quite well in the next election,” said Shaw.

Twigg, 58, has for last 20 years been an independent member of the Victoria Legislative Press Gallery, mainly publishing his own newsletters such as B.C. Politics Trendwatch, but he also has engaged in a wide variety of other media, business and personal interests over the years, including being a single father for 10 years and being a communications consultant in a wide range of industries.

Previously Twigg was Financial Editor of the Regina Leader Post for about seven years and an active freelancer in Saskatchewan for resource industry journals between 1976 and 1985. He is familiar with industries such as agriculture, oil and gas, coal, mining, railways, telecommunications, financial services and others and more recently has come up to speed on B.C.’s forestry, fishing and other industries too.

From 1972 to 1975 Twigg was Press Secretary to B.C. Premier David Barrett and thus he traveled widely with the Premier both inside and outside the province and got a first-hand look at many rarely-seen things.

Stephen Harper. The RCMP. The Movement Towards a Fascist State in Canada.

by Robin Mathews
rmathews@sfu.ca

*NOTE. This column expresses an idea that will be offensive to some people. They might conclude the column is the product of a fevered (not to say insane) mind. Time may prove them correct. Time, unfortunately, may prove they are wrong and that the column is more correct and far-seeing than any of us wish it to be – it attempts to force attention to a real, major invasion of Canadian freedoms which most Canadians are refusing to see.

Begin with Stephen Harper: always a servant of the large, private corporations and now of the US expansionists. In addition, he is a modern Capitalist/Christian Fundamentalist – which means a stalwart in the present war against the poor, the vulnerable, ordinary Canadians, the sovereignty of Canada, policies of social equality, and – of course – against The Infidel anywhere in the world.

To do its work effectively in Canada, the Harper group needs to coerce Canadians into fear and undemocratic submission. That’s where the RCMP comes in.

Any organized proto-fascist group moving to take State power into a totalitarian grip needs a repressive police force. And it needs (in the short term) to cooperate with any force – however named – in the society that will ally with it. British Columbia has, by name, a “Liberal” government (which is perhaps the most reactionary government in Canada). A Liberal government should be at odds with a Harper Reactionary government, one might say. But there is a rumour in B.C. that top Liberals in the province are working against a Stephane Dion victory and for a Harper victory in the next federal election. That makes sense. There are spoils to share in the dismantling of Canada and in the development of a fascist state; get in line.

The role of the RCMP in the move to the Right, in the move to close off democratic freedoms has been growing relentlessly, alarmingly, unchallenged and even unexamined in any serious way. The seriousness of breaches of trust in the RCMP is persistently underestimated, glossed over, discounted.

A Fourth Of July Card From Judy Andreas

A Fourth Of July Card From Judy Andreas

Unhappy Fourth Of July, America. Are you ready for your annual celebration?

As you don your party hat, take a good hard look into the mirror of your soul. Do you like what you see? Can you beautify the face of hypocrisy with a chorus of The Star Spangled Banner?

On holidays such as this one, I long for those blissful days of my childhood; those days when the Fourth of July meant a joyous celebration of birth. We had claimed our independence from Great Britain and a new world (without the word “order” ) had been born. America was our land of opportunity and people came here to realize The American Dream. When did the dream morph into a nightmare? And when will we wake up?

What will you be doing on July 4th? Will you be singing “God Bless America”? Will you be barbecuing large hunks of flesh and washing them down with a
“cold one”? “Pass the genetically modified cob of corn, please”

Will you be frolicking at your picnic, ooo-ing and ah – ing as fireworks flash over the evening sky? They are far more attractive than the daily decoration of chemtrails.

Can you play The 1812 Overture loudly enough to deafen and deaden the sounds of the devastation that is being done in our name?

Can you close your eyes tightly enough to blot out the pictures of the mutilated bodies of death and dying as we bring “freedom” to other lands?

Wave your Chinese made American Flag and we will all play “Let’s Pretend”.

I regretfully inform you that I will not be attending your party this year. My holiday spirit died along with The American Dream. And while you are singing “and the rockets red glare”, try to forget that others will be listening to the “bombs bursting in air”.

Sorrowfully,

Judy Andreas

An open letter to the Shuswap, Okanagan & Ktunaxa nations

July 5, 2007 by

An open letter to the Shuswap, Okanagan & Ktunaxa nations,

I would like to introduce myself to your people. To clarify my intention, I would like to share with you who I am and why I am writing this. My name is Cliff Woffenden. I am originally from Montreal and am of British decent. In the 1970’s I left my job as an engineer to live in the wilderness of northern British Columbia. My daily contact with the wild creatures of the forest made me aware of a huge hole in my education.

This motivated me to look closely at the traditional spiritual ways of the original peoples of this land. My journey eventually led me to the presence of a Cree elder, Albert (Buffalo Child) Lightning, of Hobema Alberta who became my teacher. This amazing being was not only the spiritual leader of his people he was one of the most respected spiritual leaders on Turtle Island.

Among the many things Albert taught me was respect for the cultural laws of the land. That is why, upon my arrival in the Slocan Valley, I was obligated to make contact with the original people of this area. Their obvious lack of presence made me curious and I set out to find out why. I studied the archeological and historical records. I traveled to Vancouver and Victoria to investigate the disappearance of a people from their landscape.

My studies led me to the Colville reservation and the descendents of the Sinixt. It was my cultural duty to ask their permission to live on their land. In 1989 I was hired by the BC government to care take the Vallican Heritage site to protect it from vandals. Shortly after, I went to the Colville reservation with another person of British ancestry, to apprise the Sinixt of the intention of the government to build a road dangerously close to their sacred burial grounds at Vallican and to ask them to return home to help protect it.

I lived with these people through this very traumatic event. I shared their tears and their joy. Their story and determination has been a major motivating factor in my life ever since. So it was with great sorrow that I saw the deliberate attempt by the government to continue the genocide of the Sinixt by asking the Ktunaxa, Shuswap and West Bank aboriginals to claim Sinixt land. Watching this so-called treaty process has been very frustrating because it goes against all I have been taught to respect about aboriginal culture.
One of the traditional laws of the land has always been that if a person or group moved to the territory of another nation, they integrated and became members of the host nation. That is why I am an associate member of the Sinixt nation.

So when the Sinixt, for example, were dispersed by persecution by White miners, settlers and disease in the 1800s, they went to live among their neighbours. Some went to the Okanagan, some to Ktunaxa territory. Some ended up as far away as the Queen Charlotte Islands. Those that live among the Ktunaxa have become Ktunaxa. Those who went to live among the Shuswap became Shuswap.

This is also why the Ktunaxa, Shuswap and the West Bank band have living memory of having cultural ties to Sinixt territory. This is why it pains me to see these nations claim Sinixt territory as theirs. It is against cultural law. Those among these nations who are of Sinixt ancestry should be standing in solidarity with the Sinixt against the genocide of their people. Instead they entered into negotiations with the government to steal Sinixt land. This is not the way of the people. I can’t imagine the magnitude of the pain the Sinixt feel at this betrayal.

We are entering a new era in human consciousness where separation has no place. We are all brothers and sisters of the same Mother, Mother Earth. We can no longer stand alone against the Juggernaut of capitalistic interests. The governments of Canada and British Columbia have intentionally designed this so-called treaty process to divide and conquer the aboriginal peoples – to pit one against the other. It is time to make peace among the nations. It is time to bury the hatchet.

Someone has to make the first move, to break the ice. Negotiate among yourselves before making deals with Canada or BC. I suggested to one of our elders, Ganishka Silver Fox of Nakusp, that perhaps she should try to use her wisdom to find a way to bring the local nations together to smoke for peace and understanding of their shared brother/sisterhood.
Respect each other. Respect your Mother. We are all one under Father Sky.

All my relations,

Cliff Woffenden,
Sinixt territory

Canadian Petition to Investigate 9/11 – please sign and pass on

July 4, 2007 by

[Dear Reader. If nothing else it would be of interest to you to read the various comments on this issue that have thus far been written by Canadians who have signed this petition. They illustrate a common theme and a Canada-wide sense of disillusionment with the whole issue of 911 and Canada’s involvement in US/Britain/Israeli wars. Ed.]

Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2007 12:15 PM
Subject: Canadian Petition to Investigate 9/11 – please sign and pass on
http://www.petitiononline.com/cntroops/petition.html

To: Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, Honourable Stéphane Dion, Leader of the Liberal Caucus, Honourable Jack Layton, Leader of the N.D.P. Caucus, Honourable Gilles Duceppe, Leader of the Bloc Québécois Caucus and Members of Parliament.

Canadian Defence Minister, Gordon O’Connor has stated that we are “fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan in “retribution” for the 9/11 attacks” (Ottawa Citizen – Jan 21, 2007 – full article here: http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=3a784a6c-a6fc-490e-bccd-62cefb82cbad

Canada has not investigated whether there is actually evidence linking Osama Bin Laden or the Taliban to the attacks of September 11, 2001. Canada accepted the accusation against Bin Laden by the United States at face value. There has been no independent investigation on Canada’s part to confirm or reject this allegation.

Though Osama (written Usama) Bin Laden is listed on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorists list (Official FBI page: http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/terrorists/terbinladen.htm ), he has not been indicted or charged by the FBI in association with the attacks of September 11, 2001. When contacted, Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI about this omission, he stated that, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.” (Reference: http://www.teamliberty.net/id267.html )

As Canada is sovereign country, we must conduct our own official independent inquiry into the events of September 11, 2001. We can not rely on United States intelligence/opinion to make Canadian military decisions. The Canadian Government was intelligent enough to keep Canada out of Iraq, but the government should have launched a full, official investigation into 9/11 before unofficially declaring war in Afghanistan.

Canada’s commitment to Afghanistan through NATO is until 2009. We, the undersigned, insist that the Canadian Government pull our troops out of all combat roles in Afghanistan immediately and re-assign them to peacekeeping/aid and re-building roles until the Canadian public have been shown solid evidence that Osama/Usama Bin Laden was behind the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
