Tel Aviv will choose the next President
"Contrary
to widespread belief, it was more likely American voters in Israel, not
Florida, who put George W. Bush in the White House four years ago -- a
phenomenon that has Kerry's supporters in Israel vowing to do whatever
it takes to make certain that doesn't happen again in November.
"Harvard Professor Gary King, co-compiler of a survey analyzing
Florida's overseas vote in 2000, has no doubt that expatriate Americans
gave Bush his victory four years ago. And while it's unclear whether the
vote from Israel alone was enough to put Bush over the top, 185,000 U.S.
citizens live there -- an undetermined number from Florida.
"Mark Zober, chairman of Democrats Abroad in Israel, said he has no firm
figures but estimates that roughly 100,000 Americans in Israel are
eligible to vote in the upcoming U.S. election, and that roughly 14,000
were registered in 2000."
Jewish Voters: Bush's Secret Weapon?
"If Bill Clinton was the first black President -- a moniker he relished
-- then George W. Bush is the first Jewish President. After first
disengaging from the Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations and refusing
to even lay eyes on Yasser Arafat, Bush went on to give Israeli Prime
Minister and best Mideast buddy Ariel Sharon virtual carte blanche in
his crackdown on the suicide-bombing Palestinans and then followed the
advice of his fiercely pro-Israel neocon advisers and went to war in
Iraq."
Bush zeroes in on Jewish vote
Bush losing Arab American support
Kerry: "We will never compromise America's special relationship with our ally Israel"
"Across the Middle East, the United States and Israel are facing a range of crucial security challenges. We are not secure while Saudi donors fund terror, while Iran pursues a nuclear weapons programs and while Syria sponsors terrorist operations. We are not secure while Iraq is at risk of becoming a haven for terrorists. And we are not secure while Israel, the one true democracy in the region, remains the victim of an unrelenting campaign of terror. If we continue without a more effective strategy, we are not supporting our ally as best we can."
Ed Koch: Bush vs. Kerry on Israel
(Real News 24/7: Of all the countries that the United States calls allies, is there any other one that gets this sort of attention from the candidates? Oh, and we'd love to see what Kerry's definition of a "true democracy" is. Considering that Israel is, by its own definition, a Jewish State, whose sectarian character does not permit religious freedom for non-Jews and who treats such people as second class citizens [at best], we must conclude that Kerry's use of the term is far different than that of most Americans, however erroneous the latter happens to be.)

Israeli sexpionage: The McGreevey, (Gary) Condit and Clinton Affairs
Is Golan Cipel, an Israeli national who served as an advisor to NJ Gov. James McGreevey advisor, also a Mossad agent? And what was he, an alien, doing holding a sensitive government position in the US in the first place? These questions and others like them must be answered to protect our nation's security.
"The
current Governor James McGreevey (above right, announcing his
resignation) homosexual scandal is actually the result of yet another
Israeli sexpionage operation targeting "sexually loose" Democratic Party
government officials. Two other recent operations, that should be fresh
in the memories of the American people, are the Congressman Gary Condit
and the President Bill Clinton Affairs.
"In the parlance of the shadowy underworld of international espionage,
the use of 'sex' by foreign spies to obtain information or concessions
from government officials is called 'sexpionage.' The sexual seduction
of high level government officials by foreign spies is usually of the
illicit category which provides foreign operatives the added advantage
of being able to better bribe the targeted victims which may be married
with children. The operation may involve compromising the government
officials through the use of professional prostitutes, underage girls
(or boys) or by providing homosexual lovers to not yet
'out-of-the-closet' targets, as was the case with Governor James
McGreevey of New Jersey."
Why
Golan Cipel's Jewishness is important
"Everyone spies, French on America and vice versa, but only Israel, when
it is caught, behaves as if America is the one that should be ashamed
because it did not give Israel what Israel deserved to have and forced
it to steal."

powerful politicians in the country, New Jersey Governor McGreevey, I

Cipel: I was threatened to keep quiet
"A former aide at the center of the sex and political scandal in New
Jersey said he was told by associates of Gov. James E. McGreevey to be
quiet or face deportation, according to his attorney. Golan Cipel, an
Israeli national and former homeland security adviser, is the man the
governor was referring to when he acknowledged that he had a homosexual
affair and would resign, McGreevey administration sources say."

Upheld judgment against Rudolph is exercise in pro-abortion politicizing

to a nurse maimed in the 1998 blast.
"The high court on Friday affirmed with no opinion the decision of
Circuit Judge Helen Shores Lee that the award stand despite Rudolph's
efforts to have it dismissed. Rudolph had claimed that he wasn't
properly served with the lawsuit filed in 2000 by nurse Emily Lyons and
her husband, Jeff."
(Real News 24/7: This judgment comes a year after the amount was awarded. By way of comparison: the infamous McDonald's scalding coffee lawsuit garnered the injured party $2.7 million [later dropped to under half-a-million dollars], while the combined total of damages awarded to the families of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman in the O.J. Simpson wrongful death suits was only $33.5 million. We spoke to an attorney concerning the Lyons award and he expressed surprise that Alabama's Supreme Court would have upheld the outrageously high figure, which he said clearly showed a pro-Planned Parenthood bias on the part of the lower court judge. We did a Google search on Helen Shores Lee and found that she's a Democrat who's on the board of directors of the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. Whether or not she actually belongs to Planned Parenthood, the absurdly high amount of damages--especially the $50 million in punitive damages--leaves no doubt to her sympathies. As the Pro-Life News website states, what we're seeing in cases like this is the "using [of] tort judgments to publicly 'presume' guilt -- without proof -- before a criminal jury verdict finds the accused guilty or innocent.")

Secret society member Bush cheered by Knights of Columbus
"In

of Conservative Catholics, masonic secret society member George W. Bush
appeared before the national convention of the Knights of Columbus and
instead of being jeered and chased out of the convention center in
Dallas on Aug. 3, was given repeated standing ovations and chants of
'Four More Years!' from thousands of Catholics, among whom were two
ranking cardinals, Edward M. Egan, archbishop of New York, and Theodore
E. McCarrick, archbishop of Washington.
Bush told the Catholics that both he and the Knights of Columbus
organization were 'born' in New Haven, Connecticut (the Knights group
was founded in Connecticut in 1882 as a Catholic fraternal alternative
to the Freemasons). This macabre inside joke by Bush went right over the
heads of the Knights, since New Haven, Connecticut is also the place
where Bush was selected for initiation into the Masonic "Skull and
Bones" secret society while a student at Yale University.¼"

24/7: Regardless of the existence of what Charley calls
"blundering diplomacy," the fact of political conspiracy is quite
demonstrable. Certainly the two--conspiracy and stupidity-- are not
mutually exclusive, as the Soviet Communists coined the term "useful
idiot"
to describe the Westerners who unwittingly advanced the goals of the
Reds. But the Communists, in a sense, have been use idiots
themselves--pawns of something bigger, a movement seeking a one-world
government that's commonly called the
New
World Order
(NWO). While those involved have usually kept a very low profile
concerning it, British author and Fabian Socialist H.G. Wells actually
promoted the NWO in his 1928 book
The Open
Conspiracy.
No, Mr. Reese, in answer to your question, it isn't stupidity, but a
well-organized drive to advance a criminal dream to enslave humanity
that ultimately must be the focus of our concern. The quote of
James Forrestal,

it over fifty years ago: "Consistency has never been a mark of
stupidity. If the diplomats who have mishandled our relations with
Russia were merely stupid, they would occasionally make a mistake in our

Still no answer: Priest-writer refuses to expose murderous Satanic pedophile ring
Earlier this summer the well-known priest/author/sociologist Fr. Andrew Greeley was challenged to come forward with information he claims to have about a clergy sex ring in Chicago that may be responsible for more than one ritual murder. Most disturbing is the possibility that the late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin (right), one of the most powerful churchmen in America, was involved with it.
"The
clergy sex abuse scandal that has shaken the American Catholic Church in
the last few years continues to make news nationwide and here in
Illinois.
"Sheila Schreiber-Parkhill, a noted Catholic attorney who currently
resides in Bismarck, North Dakota, has challenged priest-author and
sociologist Father Andrew Greeley to reveal the information he claims to
have in “safekeeping” about the activities of a clergy sex/pedophile
ring that may have been involved with the 1984 unsolved murder of
Chicago musician and professor Francis E. Pellegrini."
The beginning of the end of the Bernardin
legacy
"Over the past 12 years, in sworn deposition, in accounts to
investigators, in affidavits submitted in support of others' cases, in
direct statements to Bernardin, in phone calls and letters to Church
officials, and in correspondence with Vatican officials (all of which
RCF
has examined), Agnes has testified to the following story:
"In the fall of 1957, in Greenville, S.C., Fr, Joseph Bernardin raped 11-year-old Agnes as part of a Satanic ritual that involved, among others, Bishop John Russell of Charleston. Brought to the event by an abusive father, Agnes 'was able, at first, to resist Bishop Russell physically, out of the knowledge that God had made me good, not bad as I was being told I was' (her words). As a young child, she had been victimized by a 'sadist' cousin, and her identity was based upon 'resisting bad things', which included Bernardin. Bernardin then showed kindness and approval of her resistance, in order to gain her trust and get her to relax, and then he raped her. He followed the rape with a perverted use of a host, in an attempt to make Agnes swallow the guilt of the event."
Bernardin's "gay-friendly" ghost
"Some years back, during the Chicago reign of Joseph Cardinal
Bernardin (from 1982 to his death in 1996) conservative commentator
Thomas Roeser, a solid Catholic, was on a program with Chicago
homosexual activist Rick Garcia, a purported Catholic. After the program
ended, Garcia told Roeser in a snide manner, 'I have more of an 'in'
with Bernardin than you,” to which Roeser responded, “I’m sure you do!'"

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE BOMBINGS
Iraqi Muslims did not blow up Christian
churches
"Having discussed the matter in detail with other experts on the Middle
East, Christianity in Iraq and on Islam in Iraq, we have all concluded
this is not the work of any Muslim group. There has never been any
animosity between the Christian and Muslim communities in Iraq, in fact,
they have stood toe-to-toe against the American occupation and they have
resisted efforts by the Israeli office in Baghdad to become allied with
Israel. "
BACKGROUND LINKS
Targeting tolerance
"The gates of Mar Illyas Church and the Al-Dawra Monastery -- the
targets of car-bombings on Sunday -- were adorned with the statues of
the Virgin Mary, sculpted by prominent Iraqi sculptor, Mohamed Ghani, a
Muslim. The statues bear witness to Iraq's ethnic diversity: the Virgin
is wrapped in an Iraqi abaya and wearing a traditional Basra head
covering."
The forgotten church of iraq
"Many Christian communities in the Middle East (quite rightly) have a
high profile because of the terrible persecution they face. By
comparison the church in Iraq enjoys a relatively favorable position –
but therefore relative obscurity, with worldwide attention focused on
other parts of the suffering church."
Christians for Saddam?
"After the Divine Liturgy a few Sundays ago, I joined several other men
from my parish for brunch. The topic of Iraq came up, and one of the men
remarked that he had heard that there was a substantial Christian
population in Iraq, and that
Tariq Aziz,
the Iraqi foreign minister, was a Roman Catholic. He was shocked that a
Christian could be associated with such a man as Saddam Hussein."

Secretary of State Colin Powell took the extraordinary step of assuring

was not orchestrating President George W. Bush's drive toward war.
"'The strategy with respect to Iraq has derived from our interest in the
region and our support of U.N. resolutions over time,' Powell said, in
response to a question from the subcommittee's Republican chairman,
Arizona Rep. Jim Kolbe.¼
"On this occasion, as he had on others, Powell played the loyal soldier,
joining in what

play down Israel's role in the future military conflict... to remove any
suspicion that the decision to go to war with Iraq is a pro-Israeli...
step. But, as hard as the administration tries,' he wrote, 'the voices

"The rare reference to his own illnesses -Parkinson's disease and

Yet it is

"Here's what's happening: Jose Padilla is the U.S. citizen who
supposedly plotted to detonate a 'dirty bomb' and use natural gas to
blow up apartment buildings in Washington D.C., New York and Florida.
Since his capture − not on the battlefields of Afghanistan or Iraq, but
at Chicago's O'Hare Airport − he hasn't been charged with any crime. Yet

We have separation of church and state in the United States of America.'"

Shots heard 'round the ward: Did vaccines cause autism?
"As parents
of two severely autistic boys, Kevin and Cheryl Dass of Kansas City, Mo., face a
world of heartache and worry. Last year Kevin, a FedEx driver, and Cheryl,
a part-time hairdresser, spent $27,000 on therapy for their sons. Financially
exhausted, they are gnawed by these questions:
"How will they continue the special help that Dillon and Kyle, their 4½-year-old
twins, so desperately need? Will the boys - who barely speak, are not
toilet-trained and become severely upset when taken out in public - ever be able
to live on their own? If not, what will become of them when Kevin and Cheryl are
gone? 'It's torn our life apart, it really has,' Kevin Dass says.
"And, he insists, it didn't have to happen. The boys were born prematurely and
alarmingly small. Yet at 3½ months, Dass says, they were given four
immunizations in a single day, including three containing small amounts of
mercury, a neurotoxin. 'They were still in the hospital on oxygen, staying
alive, and they put this poison in them,' Dass says. 'They were fried. They were
totally fried.'"
Autism: a Novel Form of Mercury Poisoning
"Autism is a syndrome characterized by

cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral dysfunctions similar
to traits defining or associated with autism, and the similarities extend to
neuroanatomy, neurotransmitters, and biochemistry. Thimerosal, a preservative
added to many vaccines, has become a major source of mercury in children who,
within their first two years, may have received a quantity of mercury that
exceeds safety guidelines." (For more, see our

Why homosexuals want what marriage has now become
"No prominent American commentator anticipated the rapid sequence of events that in early 2004 brought hundreds of homosexual couples—in Massachusetts, California, New York, Oregon, and elsewhere—before religious and public officials who were willing to pronounce them married. Sympathetic observers marveled at the bravery of gay activists and compared their wedding ceremonies to the acts of black civil-rights demonstrators in the Sixties. Unsympathetic observers expressed dismay at how brazen homosexuals had become in violating moral tradition and in defying statutory law. Conservative groups have subsequently set in motion a number of initiatives—voter referenda, legislative actions, and constitutional amendments—on both state and federal levels to prohibit further homosexual marriages and to invalidate those that have occurred. But amid all of the many pundits praising or damning homosexuals for breaking the marriage barrier, few have reflected on just what kind of institution homosexuals—who have never laid hold of marriage in the past—are now claiming. Indeed, if Americans scrutinize carefully the way the national culture has in recent decades re-defined wedlock for heterosexuals, they may well conclude that it is not homosexuals that have changed so much, but rather marriage itself. Far from being some astonishing development reflecting unprecedented new attitudes among homosexuals, homosexual weddings constitute the predictable (not natural, but entirely predictable) culmination of cultural changes that have radically de-natured marriage." (Emphasis added)

in this state, a marriage shall exist only between a man and a woman.'"

Democrats such as John Kerry are always willing to move even farther to
the left, making the Republican president appear 'conservative' by
comparison. However, Republican presidents are often more effective
getting liberal programs through, since they can garner support from
Republican congressmen who would likely oppose the same programs if
proposed by a liberal Democrat president. The new Medicare prescription
drug program is a case in point — it falls short of 'Hillary-care' but
is still more than Mr. Clinton was able to accomplish on the health-care

Kerry
'will not change foreign policy'
"Rand Beers, the national security adviser to the Kerry campaign, opened
a high-level briefing with a warning: 'In many ways, the goals of the
two administrations are in fact not all that different.'"
Kerry or
Bush, no matter: More 'regime change' to come
"Well, now we know that no matter who wins in November, we’re going to
stay in Iraq as long as it takes and do whatever it takes to achieve
final victory – whatever 'victory' means. The election will, however,
decide which country is next to have its 'regime changed.'"
Kerry to
continue Bush's Israel policy
"During their conversation, Kerry informed [Israeli Prime Minister
Ariel] Sharon that he has no argument with President George W. Bush's
support for Sharon's rejection of a Palestinian right of return to
Israeli territory."
Kerry doesn’t need or want anti-war activists "The Republicans have set the standard by which a US President will be judged, and listening to peace and social justice activists is not one of the desired qualities."
Kerry not thee only enemy of
the unborn
(Real News 24/7: While John Kerry openly
supports the destruction of children in their mothers' wombs, George
Bush's stand is ultimately more contemptible, because while he hides behind pro-life rhetoric,
his record shows that in reality he has done little or nothing to
reverse the pro-abortion decision of Roe vs. Wade and has, more
often then not, supported that decision, either tacitly or otherwise.
The sources we've assembled prove this beyond a shadow of a doubt for
any reasonably open-minded person. Hence, no one who sincerely wants to
preserve the lives of the unborn can in good conscience cast their vote
for either
Kerry or Bush, pro-life posturing of the latter notwithstanding.)

We are prepared to use violence. There is no
limit.
—Dharmendra Sharma
leader of Hindu extremist group Bajrang
Dal
"In the past decade, extremist Hindus have increased their attacks on Christians, until there are now several hundred per year. But this did not make news in the U.S. until a foreigner was attacked. In 1999, Graham Staines, [click here for more] an Australian missionary who had worked with leprosy patients for three decades, was burned alive in Orissa along with his two young sons. The brutal violence visited on Muslims in Gujarat in February 2002 [see below] also brought the dangers of Hindu extremism to world attention. Between one and two thousand Muslims were massacred after Muslims reportedly set fire to a train carrying Hindu nationalists, killing several dozen people."
Real News 24/7: The accompanying feature is not meant as an indictment of all Hindus, any more than others we've carried are criticisms of all Jews, Muslims, Scientologists or other believers. While as Christians we do believe, that all of these are in one way or another false religions, we recognize that many who embrace these faiths ought not to be held responsible for the criminal acts of their co-religionists, except insofar as they condone such deeds. (Above, right, Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction)
Hindutva
"Several Hindutva organisations (notably the
Vishwa Hindu Parishad
and the
Bajrang Dal[?])
have been associated with anti-minority (for lack of a better word)
violence by groups espousing Hindutva philosophies.¼While
followers of the philosophy are rarely apologetic about violence, they
do seek to rationalize it; in the case of Graham Staines, violence was
excusable because of the greater violence done by conversion; in the
case of the Gujarat riots, it was a justified response by outraged
Hindus to the burning of 56 Hindu pilgrims in a train by a Muslim mob."

HISTORICAL
PERSPECTIVE
Conspiracy unmasked! The murderous cult of
Kali
"Rumors of a secret society of murderers in India were not entirely a
novelty, but given the impenetrability of Indian society, as well as the
activities of large groups of highwaymen and bandits (known as Dacoits
and Pindari), these rumors were not deemed worthy of official concern,
and were dismissed by the British. Even when a British officer named
John Maunsell vanished while en route to Agra in October 1812, no cry
was raised. Yet this indifference was about to change, and the agent of
this change was an earnest, sober-minded young English soldier named
William Sleeman.¼Even
in his early years in India, Sleeman must have wondered at the peculiar
practices of those Hindus who worshiped the goddess Kali, the dark
consort of Shiva who is said to feed on the blood of mortals and to
haunt the burning-grounds (or ghats) where Hindus are cremated. Her
hideous image is to be seen in temples throughout India. She is
typically represented as black (one of her epithets, Kali Ma, means
"black mother"), many-armed, and garlanded with human skulls with a long
red tongue protruding from a screaming mouth. In temples dedicated to
Kali, human sacrifices were once carried out, though by Sleeman’s time
they had been discontinued in favor of goats."
Judaeophobia in the service of Israel
"It was no one less than a very renowned Israeli expert on Judaeophobia,
Professor Dinah Porat who observed on the Israel state radio that there
is a correlation between Israeli actions (we can say atrocities) and
outbursts of Judaeophobia. This was for example the case in the early
‘80s following the Lebanon invasion or in the late 80s during the first
Palestinian uprising, the Intifada."
Israeli settlers outraged over decision to let
Palestinian police carry weapons
" Israeli settlers living in the territories expressed their outrage on
Friday over a decision by Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz to allow
Palestinian Authority policemen to re-arm. The decision came as Israel
re-opened the Egyptian-Gaza border crossing after several weeks. PA
Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia reportedly asked Mofaz to allow the
re-arming of the police to prevent a complete decline into anarchy in
the PA areas."

Vanunu: JFK murder conspiracy linked to Israel
My view is that Kennedy was assassinated because
of his strong opposition to [Israeli prime minister] Ben Gurion.
—Mordechai Vanunu
"Israeli whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu said that according to 'near-certain indications' US President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, due to "pressure he exerted on then head of government, David Ben-Gurion, to shed light on Dimona nuclear reactor."
"An Israeli nuclear technician, Vanunu was imprisoned for 18 years after revealing that Israel had illegal nuclear weapons technology. He was released in April 2004 and banned from talking to the media."

Fahrenheit 9-11; The other half of the

"In addition to profits from oil resources and government war contracts,

Middle East and elsewhere. It is the creation of a New World Order based
on the model of collectivism, and it is supported with equal vigor by

A wave of Jews returning to Russia
"The exodus has stirred up a discussion in Israel, said Boruch Gorin,

Jewish Communities, which commissioned the study. On the one hand,
millions of Jews already live outside Israel. On the other hand, 'living
in Israel is an ideology, and that the people who sought a shelter in
the country have been leaving is a blow to the ideology,' he said." (RN
24/7: Wait, isn't post-Soviet Russia, despite the

Hardly where you'd expect Jews would want to go, is it? Unless, of
course, false instances of hate crimes are being used to provoke a
convenient persecution of enemies of the state. Further making this
migration curious is Putin himself, who, despite what is noted above
concerning his seeming good relations with Israel, he nevertheless is
the same leader about whom
columnist Ben Shapiro could write the following as recently as
August 2002:
"Even amid widespread speculation of an American invasion of Iraq,
Russian President Vladimir Putin will soon ink a $40 billion trade deal
with Saddam Hussein's regime.¼Russia
sells arms to the terrorist state Syria. And Russia has close ties to
Egypt both in the area of investment and in weapons supplies, despite
Egypt's ambiguous/contrary position in the War on Terror." So, the idea
that Russia is some haven for Jews is strange¼at
least on the surface. It's a development that bears watching.)
Egypt newspaper: Holocaust a lie
"Egypt's leading newspaper has published a series of articles that deny

"The Roman praetors were first established in 367 B.C. They evolved into the Praetorian Guard that came to exercise great power, making and unmaking emperors and allowing political and military action outside of the law. What rules that were observed were announced by the issuance of edicts. The Guard was characterized by corruption and political venality and was closed down by Constantine in 312 A.

The Praetorian Guard : The US Role In The

Synagogue of Satan: Vatican advances New World Order

then to have the churches equate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism is
unacceptable. This should come as no surprise. Those who hold
the Babylonian Talmud
in higher esteem than Sacred Scripture believe that they are not only
God’s chosen, but the master race. They believe that the world was
promised as their footstool. They consider
non-Jews as beasts
on an intellectual plane with cattle; that we are so stupid that we
cannot see through this deception.
"¼[T]his
agreement established legal precedent for the persecution of those who
will not worship the antichrist. The first step in this sequence was to
get the Vatican to say that Jesus Christ was not the Jews’ Messiah;
they are still waiting for him.
In this statement, the Vatican put us on notice that the Great Apostasy
(2 Thess 2:3) is here. They are deceivers. Bl. Joachim (d. 1202) said
'Toward the end of the world Antichrist will overthrow the Pope and
usurp his See.' The coup took place during Vatican II. The Primacy of
Peter has been replaced by collegiality; each bishop a 'pope' in his own
diocese. This is not the Church of the Apostles, martyrs and saints."
