Film Review: Avatar, A Humanist Call from Mt. Hollywood

Avatar may well be the biggest anti War film of all time. It stands against everything the West is identified with. It is against greed and capitalism, it is against interventionalism, it is against colonialism and imperialism, it is against technological orientation, it is against America and Britain. It puts Wolfowitz, Blair and Bush on trial without even mentioning their names. It enlightens the true meaning of ethics as a dynamic judgmental process rather than fixed moral guidelines (such as the Ten Commandments or... Read article

The Good out of the Misery in Gaza

December 27, 2009 marked the first anniversary of the beginning of ‘Operation Cast Lead,’ Israel’s 22-day assault on Hamas and all the captive innocents in Gaza. Israel’s assault on Gaza killed 1,400 people and a third were children. Israel’s war on Gaza injured over 5,300 and destroyed over 10,000 buildings and 4,000 homes. “Operation Cast Lead” rendered nearly 72,000 innocent civilians homeless and most all of them still endure in tents or in the ruins of what had been their homes. The already impoverished,... Read article

Ever Expanding Wars: An Appalling New Year Certainty

A message repeatedly making the rounds on the Internet shows a picture of an American airman, John Gebhardt, holding an injured Iraqi child on his lap and the accompanying text explains about his sympathetic provision of comfort to her and others. [1] In addition, the reason that it is all the rage, especially amongst neoconservatives, is that the senders can, in their minds, use the depiction to “prove” that U.S. military personnel undeniably have magnanimous intentions. Subsequently, the message indirectly... Read article

Anti-Immigration Efforts Equal Pro-Survival For Our Civilization

How would you like to see America’s population double to 638 million people?  Given the problems we already face, how does that number sit well with you?  Fasten your seatbelts because that number will be your children’s reality. Ever get the feeling you’ve been conned?  Somebody sold you a bill of goods?  Got a queasy feeling deep down in your guts?  P.T. Barnum said, “There’s a sucker born every minute.” In the past 40 years via the astounding shortsightedness of the late U.S. Senator Teddy Kennedy, the... Read article

Film Review: A Serious Man, the Poetic Side of Self-Hatred

It is pretty embarrassing to discover that not a single Western film critic is courageous enough to tell us what the latest Coen Brother’s film is all about. Those who reviewed A Serious Man inform us that this film is the Coen Brother’s most autobiographical to date, drawing on their upbringing. They assert that A Serious Man is the film many Jewish fans of the Coen brothers have always wanted them to make. One film critic also maintains that the film is deftly balancing bright comedy and bitter darkness. Some critics... Read article

What Should Be Done In Palestine

Israel Shamir’s Talk at the Ankara Conference… Dear Turkish friends and fellow guests from abroad, I am glad to speak again to you, the people of our great neighbour and former sovereign Turkey. Your latest developments inspire optimism. You are doing fine! Turkey is growing stronger and more independent; your leaders’ obsession with joining the European Union has been exorcised. You have restored the power of the parliament, bridled military excesses, streamlined your economy and improved relations with Syria... Read article

The American-Israeli War on Gaza

One year ago today, Israel launched “Operation Cast Lead”, a murderous full-scale military assault on the small, densely populated, and defenseless Gaza Strip. The operation resulted in the massacre of over 1,300 Palestinians, the vast majority civilians, including hundreds of children. This includes only those killed directly by military attacks. The actual casualty figure from Israel’s policies towards Gaza, including the number of deaths attributable to its ongoing siege of the territory, is unknown. The official... Read article

Bomb, Bomb Iran: Lessons From Iraq Unlearned

In a New York Times op-ed this week that advocates bombing Iran, the author, Alan J. Kuperman, director of the Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Program at the University of Texas at Austin, begins by suggesting that President Barack Obama should “sigh in relief that Iran has rejected his nuclear deal”. In fact, Iran has said it is still open to discussion with the U.S. about its nuclear program, but that if meaningful dialogue is to continue, the threats of sanctions and military aggression must first cease. The U.S.,... Read article

America Needs Pakistan’s Help — Again (Part 2)

Be not deceived by Barack Hussein Obama’s middle name or by the fact that he spent several childhood years in Indonesia. His political career is a product of a Westside Chicago Ashkenazi network with roots that trace directly back to organized crime of the 1920s. Top fundraiser Penny Pritzker traces her family lineage to grandfather Abe and great-grandfather Nicholas who served as lawyers for organized crime. She declined a nomination as Secretary of Commerce in the Obama Cabinet, a post typically offered top fundraisers.... Read article

Obama’s Role in the Militarization of Mexico

An interview with Laura Carlsen… “Militarization is not the way to deal with Mexico’s political crisis.” Laura Carlsen Mike Whitney— Will you explain what Plan Mexico is and how it relates to the North American Free Trade Agreement? (NAFTA) Laura Carlsen:  Plan Mexico, also called the Merida Initiative, is a three-year regional security cooperation plan devised by the former Bush administration and presented in October of 2007.

The Old Testament and the War Crime in Gaza

Published originally on Jan 8 2009. “You will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you. Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the sword before you.” Leviticus, Chapter 26, verses 7-9 “When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations…then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy.” Deuteronomy 7:1-2, “…do... Read article

The Birth Of Christ And The Birth Of America Are Linked

As we approach the celebration of Christ’s birth, I am reminded of the words of John Quincy Adams. On July 4, 1837, he spoke these words: “Why is it that, next to the birthday of the Savior of the world, your most joyous and most venerated festival returns on this day? … Is it not that, in the chain of human events, the birthday of the nation is indissolubly linked with the birthday of the Savior? That it forms a leading event in the progress of the Gospel dispensation? Is it not that the Declaration of... Read article

Brace Yourself For A Hard Landing

Ben Bernanke has been a bigger disaster than Hurricane Katrina. But the senate is about to re-up him for another four-year term. What are they thinking? Bernanke helped Greenspan inflate the biggest speculative bubble of all time, and still maintains that he never saw it growing. Right. How can retail housing leap from $12 trillion to $21 trillion in 7 years (1999 to 2006) without popping up on the Fed’s radar? It’s not possible. Bernanke is just fudging the facts to save his skin. Bernanke was also staunch supporter... Read article

The Christian Gestapo

A Reformed Inquisition… “I’m going to kill Santa Clause—cart him to the guillotine in a tumbrel, and then carry his head through town on a pike. I mean it. That damned red-nosed reindeer will be sausage. Why is his nose red? Because he’s a drunk. His real name is O’Toole. He emigrated to the North Pole under a forged visa.” Fred Reed Christianity had spread to the City of Rome before the Apostle Paul was imprisoned. In four journeys he had covered over 20,000 miles spreading the Gospel and establishing... Read article

Hope Above All Others

A glorious song of old came upon a midnight clear from angels above the Earth … “Peace on the earth, goodwill to men, from heaven’s all-gracious King.” An old adage says Hope springs eternal in the human breast. To have hope is to hold high expectations or aspirations for things we desire to happen in our lives. Then there are those who put their hope in others such as our recent president; almost to the point of idolizing him. “The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing.” In these uncertain... Read article

Debunking Antisemitism Studies and Yehuda Bauer in Particular

Holocaust studies is an emerging pseudo intellectual, academic trend. It basically allows rabid Zionists to elevate their discussions on ‘what is really wrong with the goyim’ into a university qualification. I recently learned about the ‘Yale Initiative for the Interdisciplinary Study of Antisemitism’. I also learned about a similar institute at the University of  London. Antisemitism Studies has the potential  to be a valuable field of research if it could, for example, elaborate and scrutinize Jewish culture... Read article
