On Meet the Press, Tim Russert points out a stunning press release from the White House Communications Office. The release, titled Setting The Record Straight, endorses an LA Times Op-Ed that calls for Israel to attack Syria:

"It's time to let the Israelis take off the gloves…. Israel needs to hit the [Syrian] Assad regime. Hard."
It's difficult to not interpret this as the White Communications Office officially endorsing an Israeli attack on Syria.

Digg!

Wake up Amerikan people, and yes it is with a German, Nazi, "K" reference. Our government, both Democratic, Republican Foreign policies have a long history of covert Fascist policies, labled "democratic", supporting Fascist Thugs, dictators, class thugs, Privileged mercenaries, all illegal, and now is sponsoring overt direct wars of aggression.

Our yahoos, rednecks, knownothing, Chrisitian Nazis, servile class elites, both Liberal whores, appeasers of fascism and Zionism, and their thugs, the Neocon Nazis and Zionist fascists cheered on the illegal aggression against Iraq, now the illegal war crimes in Lebanon. Now both class ideologies, two business parties, Democrats and Republicans support Israeal's war crimes which makes them complicit in these crimes.

If all of you out there continue down this road, as this video explicitly shows, the support for war against both Syria and Iran, cheereleading aggression against the Arab world, occupation and illegal settlements of Palestinians, with Israeli assasinations of its leaders, you will, reap what the class nationalism, class despotism, class oligarchy, class ideology espouses because no institution, especially the corrupt corporate media whores, has any universal standards, except class standards, double standards, morphing into fascist standards.

A war against the Arab world which began with the support of Zionist Nazis ethnic cleansing the Palestinians with mass murder, then overthrowing democratic regimes, and imposing the Shah on Iran, and supporting Saddam for many years, as long as he was our dictator, has been the fascist, illegal, double, class standards of Amerikan class democracy, which now seems intent on starting World War III. Wake up all you Nazis, racists, know nothings, Zionists...or you will find yourself in a conflagration, or world resistance against Western colonialism, fascism, Zionism, that won't stop with the mass of the Arab world but include the whole of the world for your arrogance, stupidity, and ignorance. Sieg Heill!!! It seems the Amerikans and Jews have learned nothing from the Holocaust and the ideology of fascism, which was responsible for millions of deaths in W.W.II. Instead both Amerika and Israel have reconstructed all the elements of Fascism that comes from imposing Class dictatorship, class despotism and fascism on the world, while they corrupt the appearance of Democracy, Class democracy even further, making it a joke for all to see. A disgusted American feeling like a Jew in Nazi Germnay....and seeing nothing but rot all around me and the banality of evil ignored.

This is just unbelievable.

Afghanistan is a mess, Iraq is a mess, Libanon is in ruines and now they want to destroy Syria and Iran too?

What the hell is going on?

I was sure Bush is mad, but this is beyound madness. Is their loyalty to Israel so much strunger than anything else in this world that they can destroy the life of 10s of thousands of people who will die directly or indirectly because of this conflict?

Where is the concience? Where is the humanity? And where the fuck are the european leadership to stand up against this total madness?

I posted a few days ago complaining of the Billions of bucks the American military-industrial complex is making from the wars Bush is fomenting and read an artilce on Yahoo! citing how many bucks Israel is spending on American armaments. It is no wonder Bush says "Go baby go" and winds Israel for another illegal invasion. Not to mention the billions the Palestinians are spending

The Amerikan Globalist Fascist Empire has always been involed with Israel and have always supported anything they do for 1 reason. Ever wonder why it's sometimes referred to as "the State of Israel?" Because it's basically an unofficial 52nd state of the US (Puerto Rico being the other.)
Israel military officials have been planning this very attack for around 1-2 years. Part of the reason the US went to Iraq was to appease the Israeli Lobby and the state agenda of destabilizing the entire Middle East for, what else, money & oil.
The plan was Afghanistan & Iraq, followed by Syria & Iran. The Israeli & American agenda was to start in Afghanistan and Iraq to get fueds brewing between the Islamic factions. Some (I'm sure is most probable considering the arrogance of these war pigs) of this was covert Amerikan instigation on the locals by illegal mercenaries, otherwise known as the Blackwater Corporation Security Forces & probably assets of the CIA. In order to get Syria involved, they wanted to push on their allies (eh-hem, Lebanon.)
And if these actions are allowed to continue, the plan of the globalists NWO slavery campaign will take us to Asia. N. Korea, Indonesia, the Philipines (the Indonesia and the Philipines already stationed in these areas, and reports of police-state like conditions and rapes all of which conducted by our military personnel.)
What's probably the next biggest threat coming is another "False-Flag" terrorist attack on the US, and then there will be full blown martial law. This will allow the Bush Administration to become even bigger tyrants because it will allow them to go through with what they've been pushing in secret without Congressional or Senatorial oversight.
These are the SPP (Security & Prosperity Partnership, a.k.a. NAFTA on steroids,) and the North American Union or the NAU. The NAU is the abolition of the United States by erasing the borders with both Canada and Mexico and forming what I call "Oceania in the flesh." This is also another example of the Bush Administration living by the motto of their appointed leader, [in refference to the Constitution] "It's just a God Damn piece of paper."
A 3rd world country, where no natural Amerikan citizen can afford anything. We will be put out of work, home and any semblance of possessions by wave upon wave of immigrants (who now have better educations than that of Amerikans because the Globalists have decided to dumb you down, and condition everyone to slowly except police-state brutallity) will flood the job market, corporations would be allowed to fly in highly skilled workers from other countries for all the technical jobs (those that pay quite well.)
This past May, Bush, held a meeting with the Prsident of Mexico and the Prime Minister of Canada and they signed some agreement to get this rolling and full or half blown by 2010. Check out the news of the new 8 lane super-highway being built in Texas that will be the ONLY tolled Federal Interstate System in the country. Tolling on Federal interstates is illegal at the moment. All vehicles will have at least 3 kinds of tracking devices on them.

The NAU will also require everyone be issued a National ID card, which will have the RFID chips you hear so much about these days. Apparently, these chips will also contain medical info, your DNA profile and some other vital info on them.
I'd say it's a good probability that the gov't will start forcing us to have these chips implanted into it's populations.
No more will the modern day Gestapo need to say "MAY I SEE YOUR PAPERS? WHERE ARE YOUR PAPERS?" They will just scan you. These chips are also rumored to be small enough to be passed off in vaccinations. The overall goal of any globalist is to create a one world government cashless slave caste society where the few rule with an iron fist over the many. Eerily this is Orwell realized. Everything he warned us of, they have brought to or are attempting to bring to life.
This is what "Daddy" George H.W. Bush meant on September 11, 1990 when he made his New World Order speach. And 11 years later, a few months after his son takes office, the infamous 9-11 False-flag terror attacks to enable the angenda of both the Israelis and the overt fascists called Project for the New American Century (PNAC.) If you haven't read their mission purpose, you're missing out on a wealth of insight to who is behind this haneous war profiteering and why they want to do it.
Masonic secret societies also have a lot to do with the 1 world government plan. The Illuminati and Masonic symbolism and obsession with 11, 13 and geometry is staring you in the face, but most know not what to look for. A lot of the membership of these societies are placed in positions of power (go'vt be it local, state or federal,) business, education, military, law enforcement, etc.
It's time the real American citizens, who love what this country once was, and what it still promises to be under the Idea that was America, wake up and look around at how they're being conditioned, see some of the groups behind it and take back this country from the Globalist NWO Masonic Corpratist fascist Empire.

Farhad Abdolian:

These are very legitimate questions, and answers that most Americans are seeking as many read post like this one, whatreallyhappened.com, indymedia.org, etc.

America is in a bind. It can't produce any products that the world wants any more. So it produces the only things that sell--military equipment. The "leaders" in the White House could care less about the common masses. We're on our own. (Of course there are a few good apples in Congress who are facing a seemingly losing fight.) As we have all noticed, wherever the U.S. goes, trouble follows. So, everything is going as planned. This is what our leaders want. How can money be generated on our war machines if we had world peace? It appears as though the CIA and FBI upset and instigate more than they solve. The U.S. administration is belligerent in the way they deal with other nations. When peace talks and a solution may be on the horizon, coincidentally the plans unravel. As Chomsky noted, the U.S. likes to promote the idea of democracy, but in reality attacks countries such as Haiti, Iraq, and Venezuela that are doing just fine on their own.

If there are no wars, the administration starts one, or a few...Afghanistan (since the Taliban stopped the opium production about 5 years ago and put a kink in the money flowing to the U.S.), Iraq (not to get the oil for Americans, but to control the market and prices), and the coup of Chavez of Venezuela, which failed miserably for the U.S. And yet, the U.S. is trying again to get Venezuela’s oil. As a reult, the U.S. is losing its grip and friendship with the Latin nations.

We had the sympathy of the world after 9/11, but now we are among the most hated nations in the world. The world doesn't hate us because we are free, they hate us because we are a bellicose nation that preys upon defenseless nations. The U.S. doesn’t want to invade North Korea because it does have nukes. Iraq did not. On 60 Minutes (Feb. 2003) Saddam Hussein stated he was willing to debate George Bush on world television over the alleged weapons of mass destruction. We know now who had the guts and who was the coward.

As to Israel, dimitri_tsat is correct. The U.S. listens to Israel, not the other way around. It seems Israel has something on the U.S. Both are terrorist nations that have used chemical weapons on civilians (napalm, white phosphorus, vacuum bombs). Could it be that Israel may tell the world of inside information regarding 9/11? Yet is seems Israel is so confident, so arrogant, that they make statements such as, “…do not worry about American pressures on Israel. We, the Jewish People, control America and the Americans know it” (attributed to Ariel Sharon speaking to Shimon Peres on Israeli radio). And why does the U.S. put up with it? Few Americans seem to care that The USS Liberty was attacked maliciously and knowingly by Israel. Most of Congress stands behind Israel and takes their "donations". It's obvious who our congress is working for.

All is not lost...yet. People realize we’re at a time where we can't sit on the fence anymore. Activists such as Harry Belafonte, Noam Chomsky, Army First Lt. Ehren K. Latada, Grannies for Peace, and so many others are frightening a just cause against the policies of the administration. So, there is humanity out there and a conscience and a will to overcome the two major evils that are supporting this slaughter in Palestine, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Iraq. As Belafonte notes, America has been asleep for too long, and it's time to wake up. Our Congress will not help. To save ourselves and the world, it's up to us. Do something, do anything, just don't let them keep up their madness.

A Road to Oblivion

The seeds of the current Middle-East crisis were sewn – at the very least – in 1948. Up to 750,000 Palestinians were displaced – and despite countless UN resolutions –were not accorded the human right to return home.

Flash to 1982. Sabra and Shatila. Tens of thousands of Lebanese Muslims and Palestinians were systematically slaughtered by the Israeli-backed Lebanese Phalange army. And out of the ashes rose Hezbollah.

Forward to 2006. Palestine is a shadow of its former self. Israel holds thousands of illegally detained Palestinians and Lebanese in their torturous prisons. The IDF kidnap a Lebanese doctor and his brother. Two weeks later, Hezbollah in retaliation, kidnap two Israeli soldiers.

The result? A humanitarian crisis due to Israel bombing Beirut back to the middle ages. And all the western media can talk about is a “Ferry farce!” Thousands of innocent Lebanese civilians are injured and murdered daily to quench the thirst for Israel’s – and hence America’s – falsely named and framed “war on terror”.

No sane civilization would hold a city hostage for two soldiers! The “United States of Israel” uses this preposterous pretext to justify an on-going war to maintain a stranglehold on Middle-Eastern resources and to keep the arms industry alive and thriving.

And how dare Syria and Iran – who are, for those too ignorant, Middle-Eastern countries – support a group created by the West and Israel. How dare any Middle-Eastern country support anyone who wants to defend their land? What an absurd, ludicrous idea! Hezbollah - for all their shortcomings – are no less a terrorist organization than the Israeli Knesset and defence force that have held and murdered countless non-Jews for over 60 years. And Clive Churchill would agree. He called Arabs “sand-niggers” too mentally deficient to look after themselves.

What we now encounter is a Zionist war against Pan Arab-Islam nationalism. The Western media frame it as a war on terror. But it is us who are being “framed” by a business-run media who only wish to manufacture our consent so that we may digest their propaganda. This only helps to masquerade an awful truth. A truth, if exposed, would reveal how the West – through Israel – has brought instability, conflict, war and unnecessary bloodshed into the Middle-East.

The media must stop acting as the proverbial lackeys of government and big-business and do what they are meant to do – disseminate the truth. Anything less is a travesty.
