That a Dominant Minority exists to manipulate economic matters, public opinion and political events is
disputed by only the most dense of heads amongst us. In Newsweek's What Power Looks Like David Rothkopf recently wrote:
That such a group exists is indisputable. It includes the heads of the biggest financial institutions, the 14 families Blankfein joked about, and then some; the top 50 control almost $50 trillion in assets. The heads of the world's biggest corporations are also members; the top 2,000 support perhaps 500 million people, generate almost $30 trillion in sales and have well over $100 trillion in assets. The list also includes top government officials with real cross-border influence: heads of state, of course, leading diplomats and military chiefs, but also central bankers like Geithner and Bernanke, and their counterparts like Chinese Central Bank Gov. Zhou Xiaochuan, reappointed this week, and the other top economic officials responsible for the world's fastest-growing economy and its nearly $1.5 trillion in reserves.
Rothkopf claims that the 'Superclass' has "vastly more power than any other group on the planet." I don't doubt his claim. He also says there are about 6000 members of this group. So how do we get rid of them?
There's roughly 6.6 billion people on the planet (meaning that this 'Superclass' is about .0001% of the population...talk about a dominant minority). Of that 6.6 billion, there are perhaps two billion that could affect their own economic destinies with any meaningful result, though that number might be overly idealistic.
Anyway, that 6000 divided into two billion works out to be around 330,000 people. All we need to do is put 330,000 people on each one of the Superclass as rotating babysitters. Put Henry Kissinger in a Motel 6 somewhere with no telephone access or contact with his peers. Make sure the local Chinese joint delivers his dinner every night. Do the same with the Bushes, the Cheneys, Sumner Redstone, the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds and any other predator that thinks they're born booted and spurred, ready to ride the rest of us into the grave.
If 330,000 of us can't stand guard over one suited and perfumed would-be despot, we deserve all of the grief and woe they're planning for us.
Another interesting point raised by Rothkopf:
It's at such a gathering that leaders get to know one another, hatch deals and exercise perhaps the greatest power the superclass has collectively: to shape conventional wisdom.
Perhaps that thought in the back of your mind that's been there since you were born, the one that says, "It's futile. We can't get rid of the powers that be" is merely 'conventional wisdom' that's been shaped by this dominant minority for generations?
Or maybe we deserve the Global Governance that's here if we're not willing to sacrifice our own comforts and securities for the sake of spiritual, political and economic Liberty.

It seems parts of the internet are being wiped of references to Roland Carnaby.
According to Google news, all of the stories about Roland Carnaby are from Houston sources. There's only one mention of his funeral at the KHOU site and no references to his burial from any national media sources.
For added measure, it seems that Roland Carnaby's name has been scrubbed from CNN and FOX:
Google: Your search - "roland carnaby" site:.cnn.com - did not match any documents.
The same search on CNN's site yields the same null set:
CNN: We did not find News results for "roland carnaby".
The same search on Fox News is predictably the same:
Google: Your search - "roland carnaby" site:.foxnews.com - did not match any documents.
BUT there's still one story on Fox's site itself that Google missed:
Results 1 - 1 of about 1 for roland carnaby. The story still remaining is titled: "Friends Claim Man Killed by Houston Police After High-Speed Chase Was CIA Agent" and was posted on April 30, 2008. Let's keep an eye on it and see if it's still there in a week or two.
Unsurprisingly, the same search on the New York Times website via Google yields nothing different from previous searches:
Google: Your search - "roland carnaby" site:.nytimes.com - did not match any documents.
And of course, the NY Times site itself yields nada:
Your search for roland carnaby in all fields returned 0 results.
Another high profile death that week was Jean Palfrey, the woman that probably had a lot of dirt on some DC popinjays.
A Google search for Palfrey on CNN yields 37,000+ hits, her death being the first one:
Google search: palfrey site:.cnn.com
The same search on Fox News yields 9,000+ hits, her suicide notes being the first:
Google search: palfrey site:.foxnews.com
One of the hallmarks of totalitarian methods can be discerned by the making of an 'unperson' through the manipulation of the media. George Orwell described the tactic very well in 1984. It can be left to the reader to look for other examples of these Stalinist/Soviet tactics in how "news" is presented to them.
Don Clark's Big Lie About Roland Carnaby
I'll try to make this brief. Being modern Americans, both you and I have short attention spans. That's how stories like the following get memory holed. We don't pay attention.
On April 29, 2008, Roland Carnaby was shot down in the street by the Houston Police Department. The capital crime he committed was running from the cops after a traffic stop.
When stopped the first time, it's claimed that Carnaby produced ID identifying him as a CIA agent. The offficer was told by his superiors that the ID was fake. The officer was also told to find a reason to arrest Carnaby. This brings up question number one: if the ID was fake, why did the cops need to find a reason to arrest him? Impersonating a federal official is already a crime.
At this point Carnaby, a man with a stellar reputation (he was president of the Houston chapter of the Association of Intelligence Officers), drove away from the traffic stop and attempted to call his contacts in the Houston Police Department and the FBI. Having no luck with that, he kept driving while the cops chased him through Houston.
Apparently Carnaby's vehicle was disabled by the police in some manner or another or he just stopped. This point's a little unclear. What is clear is that the police were enraged and attempted to smash the front passenger window after the vehicle stopped. Carnaby was shot in the back while exiting the vehicle and then shot again in the chest by another officer. He was put in handcuffs and left on the road to die.
Do I still have your attention? Good. This is where you need it.
A former FBI agent named Don Clark made this public statement about Carnaby:
"I only knew him as Tony," said Don Clark, FOX 26's security and law enforcement analyst and former FBI agent. "I had no idea what his name may have been or was. The name that was in the newspaper, I had never seen that name before."
Former FBI Agent: I Knew Chase Suspect By Different Name
02 May 2008
Before it's shown why this statement is a flat-out, bald-faced, blatant lie, let's see who Don Clark is.
According to Clark's bio that was released when he went to work for Sharp Technology, Clark managed the FBI's investigation of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. He was also in charge of the investigation of Achille Lauro attack in which Leon Klinghoffer was killed. He coordinated and managed the investigation and prosecution of the dragging death of James Byrd, Jr. in Jasper, Texas and he was in charge of the investigation and coordination to locate FBI’s top-10 fugitive and accused “Railcar Killer” Rafael Resendes Ramirez.
Clark was also the special agent in charge of the Houston FBI office, a position he held until he retired in 2000. He's a well-known figure in Houston law enforcement circles.
In other words, Clark's no fool. He at least knows who is who and what is what in Houston.
So, let's recap. Of Roland Carnaby, Clark said on May 2 - two days after Carnaby was murdered - that "I only knew him as Tony. I had no idea what his name may have been or was. The name that was in the newspaper, I had never seen that name before."
On February 16, 2007, Clark was a guest of Roland Carnaby's Houston chapter of the Association of Intelligence Officers. It was a formal dinner also attended by deputy director of the CIA James Pavitt. Roland Carnaby introduced Pavitt and Clark and gave a presentation that evening. Yet we're to believe that a highly-decorated and highly-respected former FBI agent has no recollection of Carnaby's name?

AFIO Weekly Intelligence Notes
At this point, it's difficult to believe that Clark is telling the truth about not knowing Roland Carnaby's name. Why Clark is lying about his knowledge of Carnaby is beyond our ability to know.
What matters is that a highly-decorated and highly-respected former FBI agent has been caught lying about knowing a man that was shot down like a dog in the street by enraged Houston police.
What matters even more is that the media, the press, the Fourth Estate, has buried this story so far that it's hoped that we short-attention spanned Americans will forget it. This American won't forget it. If this is how the police treat one of their own, how will they treat us when push comes to shove?
A CIA agent is shot down by local police. The national media stops reporting on the story the day after the murder. A well-known former FBI agent lies about knowing him. And he lies big.
Welcome to Soviet America. Or Nazi America. Take your pick.
By the way...Roland Carnaby was buried on Monday, May 5, 2008. There was no reporting of the funeral by any national media.

"no entity has leased out the entire fairgrounds for that long a period."
WATERLOO--- Normal operations on the National Cattle Congress fairgrounds have been suspended for most of May as the federal government has leased out virtually the entire facility for a training exercise, NCC general manager Doug Miller said Saturday.
Miller said he could release few details. But activity on the NCC fairgrounds was apparent Saturday, as contractors installed massive generators adjacent to many buildings on the NCC fairgrounds and windows of many of the buildings were covered up, blocking views of any work going on inside. A number of large mobile home-size trailers also have taken up residence on the site in the past several weeks.
Miller said the federal government is leasing the fairgrounds through May 25 under an agreement approved by the NCC board. He and others close to NCC said no entity has leased out the entire fairgrounds for that long a period.
He said it is his understanding that access to the NCC fairgrounds will be restricted beginning Monday, except for next weekend's Cedar Falls High School prom at Electric Park Ballroom.
Miller said he has primarily been dealing with the U.S. General Services Administration on the arrangements, and that his physical facilities staff have been cooperating with federal officials on logistics and setup for the exercise.
Miller said that, other than GSA, he could not identify which agencies are involved in the exercise. But an individual on site Saturday who identified himself as an employee of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement referred inquiries to ICE officials in Minneapolis, who could not immediately be reached Saturday.
Miller also was referring inquiries to federal officials in Cedar Rapids, and NCC board member Tunis Den Hartog said it was his understanding the Federal Emergency Management Agency was involved.
ICE and FEMA are both under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. On April 24, FEMA announced it is conducting a national level exercise in May designed "to exercise national capabilities to prepare and respond to multiple incidents including both natural disasters and terrorist incidents." The exercise is to be conducted every five years.
While the exercise scenarios involved disasters or terrorist attacks on the East or West coasts, the locations where the exercises were to be conducted were not specified. Communications capabilities and interagency coordination were among the items to be tested.
Miller said while regular weekly events, such as bingo at the NCC Pavilion, have been halted, overall disruption to most NCC events had been minimal. City Council member Harold Getty, a board member for the ASPIRE Therapeutic Riding Program on the fairgrounds for disabled individuals, said that activity has temporarily relocated. Miller also said organizers of the Sunrise Exchange Club Petting Zoo will be allowed access to make preparations for the zoo's scheduled opening later in the month.
Today's performance of the Royal Lippizaner Stallions at McElroy Auditorium will be one of the last major public events prior to federal officials taking control of the fairgrounds for the exercise, which may involve up to 800 people.

Hi-
I'm new to this forum. I found it when searching for information about Roland Carnaby today. I wanted to just mention some odd things about his death to you, but not post them in the general public just yet.
I live in the Houston area, and had the television on that day in the background. Right before 11:00 a.m., the newscaster broke in with "We've got breaking news to tell you about. We've been following this high-speed chase for an hour and a half so far, and we want to bring it to you now."
Here's my questions so far on this:
1. I had been flipping between stations KHOU, KTRK and KPRC and nobody was showing this story, but right at 11:00 a.m., all THREE stations automatically have it on. Like they were all told to do so right then.
2. All three of these stations will break in with their "Breaking News!" stories at the drop of a hat, with the most mundane of stories. Why was this not brought to our attention earlier? Why did all three stations wait an hour and a half?
3. Right as all three stations break their regular programs and go to this "breaking news" story, Roland Carnaby suddenly pulls over and the story unfolds right before our eyes, as if on cue.
4. The short 2-second part of the video that showed the supposed "high-speed" chase didn't look very high speed to me. Nor did it look like heavy traffic, that the news was saying finally forced him to pull over.
5. I don't think there was a high-speed chase, I don't think the cops were chasing him for an hour and a half. I think it's very curious that all three major TV stations in Houston apparently had copters following this guy, as well as 4 HPD choppers, (Can you imagine that? 7 choppers following this guy, for a supposed traffic enforcement violation? It was like he was O.J. Simpson or something, who actually got treated much better than this guy did, and O.J. supposedly was being followed becaused he murdered someone. This guy was being followed for what reason, really?
6. On the video tapes shown, the scene showed only one true HPD Traffic Enforcement vehicle, but plenty of other white unmarked police cars, including two pulled up next to this SUV. I didn't think unmarked cars could participate in chases, and I thought HPD had just instituted a new policy where they don't conduct high-speed chases that could endanger innocent civilians, because they have accidentally killed too many with their high speed chases before.
7. In the tape, you can clearly see two men dressed in camouflage pants, with brown or black tee shirts on that have some kind of badge hanging down. These two men are carrying assault rifles. Who are they and why are they there?
8. When the SUV is finally stopped, Officer C.A. Foster comes running up on the passenger side and starts bashing in the passenger side front window. There is no bullhorn, no siren, no one trying to talk to the guy inside the SUV, just immediate use of force.
9. Alongside Officer Foster is Officer A.J. Washington, who when the glass is finally broken, sticks his gun inside the SUV at Roland Carnaby. I think this is when Roland got shot. I think Officer Washington shot him while he was inside the car. I also saw Officer Foster & Officer Washington reaching inside the car, and not down towards the car door, but across like to the seat or possibly trying to get Roland's Blackberry.
10. Officer Washington then runs around to the driver's side door, and pulls it open. When Roland starts to step one foot out, Officer Washington grabs the door and shoves it hard back at Roland, causing him to stumble and fall. If he still had possession of his Blackberry, he may have dropped it at this point and when reaching down to retrieve it, the cops (over 7 of them on the videotape) converge and open fire.
11. I believe Roland was already dying when he emerged from his SUV.
12. One of the guys dressed in camo, who had been calmly standing off to the side, while the shooting was going on, then calmly walks over with the handcuffs, and handcuffs a lifeless body.
13. Right after Roland stumbled out of the SUV, he rolled slightly toward the back driver's side tire, and for some reason, the cops dragged his body up by the driver's side door. Then camo guy put cuffs on him.
14. After the cuffs were put on Roland, the cops get up and walk away, leaving Roland to bleed out alone on the hot freeway concrete alone. They calmly walked away, like they had just finished a meal and were leaving a restaurant.
15. I read a comment on the chron.com where people have been commenting like crazy over the last few days, most all of the comments are insane praise over the shoot, which is scary as a citizen reading that crap, but one comment thanked KHOU for having such a good video of the whole event. I went to all three TV stations websites, and KHOU was the only one showing everything very clearly. The others were shaky, grainy or obscure. The damning part of the video to me was seeing Roland stumble (I think he was already shot) out of the SUV and then fall to the ground. I don't think any of those cops there felt threatened at all. Roland looked like he was drugged, drunk or shot as he fell out of the SUV and fell. Today, when I again checked the KHOU website and re-watched the tape, part of the tape has now been obscured and the part where Roland stumbled out of the SUV has been edited out. The other TV stations have edited their's too, to be un-useful to the average viewer looking for answers.
16. One of the cops after seeing Roland laying on the ground dying, claps his hands together, like YES! We got him! Why anyone who was not threatening to them would be treated like a common criminal gunned down in broad daylight is beyond comprehension.
17. I also think the denials being given by David Adler and Steve Jett and Harold Hurtt are interesting to watch without the audio turned on. If you watch their facial expressions, you can tell just by looking at their body language and face, that not only are they lying, but that they're scared. What are they afraid of? Who are they afraid of?
18. If Roland wasn't CIA, why did the CIA immediately and simultaneously deny any knowledge of him and announce that someone will be arriving from Langley, VA. to "ASSIST" the HPD with their investigation?
19. Why is the family lawyer being retained a CIA lawyer that investigated the assasinations of both JFK & MLK? Why not Rusty Hardin or some other media hungry attorney from Houston?
20. I know someone in the restaurant business who said Roland dined at his fine dining restaurant 3-4 times a week, with very important local officials, and was very well-liked and well-respected in the Houston area. Something happened here that doesn't pass the smell test, even to a casual observer like me. If Roland was CIA in any form, and he hung around expensive restaurants, and car dealers and the Port of Houston, which just recently started accepting tankers of LPG, maybe he was doing work to protect the Port. Now that he's gone, I'm worried and watchful, but worried.
Let me know your thoughts, I respect your opinions.
Thanks!
...I think it's interesting to see Don Clark, former head of the FBI Houston office, says now that he only knew Roland as "Tony", which was apparently his CIA name. It sounds like whoever this man was, he had very dangerous information about something that somebody didn't want him to pass along. The CIA & FBI have gone into total Deny, Denounce & Discredit mode on this case.
Remember Alexander Litvinenko? His death a year and half ago is still being reported in the corporate media.
Repeat after me: I love Murrika. We got us a free press.
AFIO extends sympathy to the family of former Houston Chapter President Roland V. Carnaby, and to his friends and chapter members, over his untimely and inexplicable death.
A man gifted with remarkable people skills and charm, Roland called upon his wide range of contacts -- particularly those in the Houston and Federal law enforcement communities -- to support an impressive speaker series and other local activities in the Houston chapter he reactivated a few years ago.
Mr. Carnaby underscores the achievements and energy associate members bring to the association to assist in the educational mission of AFIO.
Funeral arrangements -- when announced -- will be conveyed to his chapter members.

District 18
A recent letter to the editor asked for evidence of my claims regarding the tragedy of 9/11. Below I present some points that are presently known. I won’t be able to convince anyone who doesn’t want to be convinced, but for those who are willing to deal with factual evidence, consider the following:
• 37 different people reported explosions in the basement of the World Trade Center Towers before the first plane hit, and seismic equipment recorded both the explosions and the impacts. In addition, people were injured by the explosions in the basement, providing well-documented evidence. Yet this evidence is ignored.
•The media and government have promoted the “pancake theory” as the cause of the collapse of the Twin Towers — that is, fire weakened the steel support beams, causing the upper floors to collapse. Then the weight of the collapsing floors above caused the floors below to collapse. This theory is not consistent with scientific principles or the facts. Frank Legge, who has a doctorate in chemistry, and Tony Szamboti, a mechanical engineer, reported in December in the Journal of 9/11 Studies: “It appears therefore that the official concept of a free-fall collapse of the upper portion through the initiation story, due to heat effects from fire, is a fantasy. If the temperature did become high enough for collapse to occur” — and everyone agrees that it did not — “it could not have happened in the observed manner. In particular it could not have been sudden and thus could not have produced the velocity, and hence the momentum and kinetic energy, upon which the official story depends for the second stage of collapse.”
• The theory that the buildings collapsed due to controlled-demolition explosives, however, is consistent with scientific principles and the facts. The “demolition” theory, in fact, is the only one which scientists have been able to corroborate. That is, “… all observations are in accord with the use of explosives in a time sequence.” (Legge and Szamboti, December, Journal of 9/11 Studies.)
• Peer-reviewed reports indicate that the masses of dust particles created by the disaster contained tiny pieces of metal that had been exposed to both extreme temperatures (higher than could have been produced by a burning office or burning airplane fuel) and extreme pressure (such as an explosion) that would fragment material into minute particles. Official reports ignore this.
• In December, physicist Steven Jones announced the discovery of thermite chips in World Trade Center dust samples. The chemical composition of these chips are an exact match to known thermite samples used in controlled demolitions — further corroboration that explosive devices were involved.
• Steel support beams recovered from the site of the World Trade Center exhibit cut edges that are characteristic of thermite used to slice steel support beams in building demolitions but are not characteristic of steel beams that have been burned in a fire.
When the 9/11 Commission Report was finally released, it was woefully inadequate. It never even addressed the collapse of Building 7, for example. Former FBI Director Louis Freeh has stated that there are inaccuracies in the report and unanswered questions. Even the two chairmen of the 9/11 Commission — Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton — have accused the CIA of “obstructing” the commission, and one commissioner, U.S. Sen. Max Cleland, resigned, stating that the commission was “compromised.”
Private individuals with specialized knowledge — scientists, engineers, architects, demolitions experts, and the firefighters and police officers who were on the scene on Sept. 11, 2001, have tested theories, constructed models, provided testimony, and dug for the truth about what really happened on 9/11. They have been ignored by media and the government.
The mainstream media parrot the less-than-credible conclusions of the 9/11 Commission without giving any thought to the many omissions and inconsistencies. In a truly free country, the press would ask hard questions and do real investigating, but this is not happening. Only the alternative media, such as Internet news sites, have done any solid investigating.
The events of 9/11 led immediately to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and passage of the Patriot Act (what double-speak), both of which deprive us of Constitutional rights and have brought us to the brink of becoming a police state. Homeland Security is currently trying to force a national ID card down our throats, although some governors have politely (or not so politely) told Secretary Michael Chertoff where he can go.
If we’re going to sacrifice our freedom, there ought to be a very good reason, and we have a right to know what that is. It isn’t enough for government to say, “Trust me.” It’s way past time for Congress to authorize an independent investigation of 9/11 that will consider the mass of new evidence that has been gathered in the past seven years. The longer they stall, the more suspicions grow.

Sept. 15, 1892
Paris, Sept. 14. SPECIAL CABLE - FIGARO published today a special interview with Baron Alphonso Rothschild on the so-called social and economic crisis of the present. Baron Rothschild preluded his remarks with the declaration that there was neither a social nor an economic crisis, as alarmists in all countries were pretending.
There had been monetary crises, resulting in unfortunate failures, as for instance, the collapse of the Barings, but the general situation in Europe had remained unchanged by them. The business world at present was far from being in a bad condition.
"I do not believe the so-called Labor Movement", Baron Rothschild continued, "I am confident that the workingmen generally speaking are satisfied with their condition, and have neither cause nor desire to complain. They are, I am convinced, indifferent to Socialism. To be sure, some agitators make plenty of noise, but that amounts to nothing. They do not influence the honest and reasonable workmen. In considering the so-called labor movement it is necessary however to distinguish good bad workmen. Only the idle, good-for-nothing desire the eight-hour day. Serious men, fathers of families, work as long as they think necessary for their own and for their children's needs. There is too much loose talk nowadays about the danger of so much capital in the hands of a few men. This is all rubbish. Some men are richer; others are poorer; tomorrow this is all changed by vicissitudes which nobody can control. It is money which circulates, that fructifies, and money circulates with the same risk to all. It is money which one lends in confidence for so-called good things which do not always turn out to be good. All that applies to the great as well as to the small venturer. Frighten and threaten capital and it vanishes. Capital is like water. Grasp it violently, and it slips through your fingers; treat it gently, dig a canal in which to lead it, and it runs wherever you will."
"Capital is a country's fortune. It represents the energy, intelligence, thrift and labor of the people. Capital is labor. Apart from unhappy exceptions which seem to be unavoidable, each shares in the capital according to his intelligence, energy and work accomplished. If a workman is dissatisfied with his share, he may strike. It is unjust to compare a man with capital and intelligence, organization faculties, invention and knowledge with any gross, brutal workman who applies to his work only the unintelligent work of his hands."
In conclusion, Baron Rothschild said that the war on capital was brutal and baneful, and that anti-Semitism was brutal and irrational.

By Israel Shahak
(an opinion piece in the paper's "Open Stage" column)
The primary reason for the numerous surprises encountered not only by
politicians but also by the majority of secular Israelis, when the
true positions of Ultra Orthodox [Haredi] or plain Orthodox [Dati]
Rabbis on various political issues become known, is that the secular
and religious communities actually speak two different languages. In
these two languages, the meaning of most concepts, from the simplest
ones to the fundamental concepts influencing politics, differ.
Unlike under similar circumstances in other cultures, there does not
exist a "dictionary" that can be used to translate Halacha terminology
into the language of the secular public. In principle, the
responsibility for this situation lies with what is called --
erroneously, in my opinion -- "Judaic Studies". This field deals
primarily with "ideological propaganda". It does not provide (with
the exception of a few essays written recently on specific problems)
the true history of Halacha Judaism, from which some of us have
managed to free ourselves, nor does it explain its basic concepts.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that Halacha Judaism
was the Judaism of my parents and of many generations that preceded
them. One of the reasons behind the organized confusion of "Judaic
Studies" is the ideological desire to refrain from shocking the public
and deepening the gap between the generations, a consequence of the
younger generation discovering the truth. The truth not only about
the leaders of todays Ultra Orthodox, but -- what is more important --
about its parents and forefathers.
The Great Enemy
It is not only common sense, history, and what is taking place now in
Eastern Europe, that prove that concealing basic facts is the greatest
enemy of every regime; Present political reality in Israel as well
demands that the truth concerning Jewish Halachic principles be
explained to the secular Israeli public in a language that it can
understand.
In Halachic terminology the word "soul" [nefesh] always means "Jew" or
"Jew with some special characteristics". When Halacha refers to
non-Jews, that is explicitly noted and is expressed by the use of
words like "Goy", or "Nations of the World" [umot ha'olam]. Thus, the
use of the word "soul" in the Halachic term "preservation of a soul"
[piku'ach nefesh], indicates that it speaks of Jews only (and not even
of Druze or other non-Jews who serve in the IDF, say). This can be
demonstrated with examining other uses of the word "soul". In Halacha
there exists the concept of "soul-food" [ochel-nefesh], which refers
to food in preparation of which a Jew is permitted to work, e.g., by
cooking, on a holiday.
A well known and explicit Halachic ruling, observed to this very day,
asserts that a Jew may not work in preparation of such "soul-food" if
it is meant for non-Jews or dogs (thus precisely states the Talmud),
despite the use of the term "soul" to describe the food. Needless to
say, in the context of the diaspora various allowances were made for
situations in which it was nevertheless permitted to feed a goy with
food prepared on a holiday only for Jews. For example, if the goy
would be offended and is capable of causing harm. But the principle
that the Jew cooking on a holiday not increase the amount for goyim or
for dogs has been strictly kept by our forefathers and by religious
Jews to this very day.
Even the term "preservation of a soul" [piku'ach nefesh, eliminating
the threat of death] itself, as everyone with even minimal familiarity
with Talmudic literature is well aware, does not apply to a goy. Not
only so, but in principle a Jew, including a Jewish doctor, is
forbidden to save the life of a goy for reasons that we, but not the
Orthodox, would call "humanitarian". A Jew is strictly forbidden to
save a goy if this involves desecration of the Sabbath ["lechalel alav
et hashabat"]. In a case of "preservation of a soul" of a Jew,
desecration of the Sabbath is a duty and a commandment.
All these rulings refer, of course, to every goy, of every age. In
the case of "preservation of a soul" -- which applies only of the
"soul" of a Jew -- there are records of lengthy Halachic arguments,
which continue to this day, particularly on the question of what
influence should be given to the fear of the goyim, or of their
hatred, in deciding whether a Jewish doctor should save a goy. For
example, there are discussions of what the goyim might do if they find
out that Jewish doctors are unwilling to treat them, or to desecrate
the Sabbath in the course of the treatment.
In seventeenth century Poland, one of the greatest rabbis ruled that a
Jewish doctor is permitted to desecrate the Sabbath for a goy who is
the mayor, but not for a goy with no influence. A few years ago, in
the state of Israel itself, the Ultra Orthodox experts on such matters
ruled that a Jewish doctor who fears that his license might be revoked
by state authorities if he refuses to desecrate the Sabbath to treat a
goy, is permitted to do so, provided that during the treatment his
thoughts are about his license and not the treatment itself.
Exemplified by these two cases is the attitude that dominates in
Jewish Halacha towards all goyim in nearly all circumstances. It is
expressed in the most minor matters, such as a strict prohibition
against giving a gift to a goy, or even speaking well of him. Here
too, exceptions were invented over the years for cases where there is
reason to fear the goyim or a desire to profit from them. It is
obvious, even with the various exceptions, that the attitude towards
non-Jews found in these rulings in totally inhuman. It should be
noted that the number of such rulings is very large and that all
Orthodox Jews study them. This surely impacts them even if they do
not have the opportunity to follow the law -- no less than the mere
existence of anti-Semitic laws would influence a society.
Fraud
Considering all this, the heaps of praise bestowed on the Halachic
rulings of Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who stated that withdrawal from the
occupied territories might be permitted due to the principle of
"preservation of the soul", is a prime example of fraud being
perpetrated on the public. This is not to criticize Rabbi Yosef
himself -- He fully explained the true reasoning behind his rulings
more than once, and in perfect detail. According to Rabbi Yosef (in
"Yated Ne'eman", September 18, 1989), we may indeed find ourselves in
a position where we will have to return territories in order to
prevent an imminent war that will cause the death of Jews. And
"preservation of the soul", as he accurately remarks there, applies to
the case of a Jew who is ailing at that very moment -- not one who
might become ill in the future. And it all has to do with the fact
that we are weak.
How does Rabbi Yosef know, and how does he demonstrate to his readers,
that we are weak? By the fact that we are not capable of expelling
all goyim, especially all Christians, from the Land of Israel, as we
would have been obliged to do if we were not weak!
Rabbi Yosef continues and provides an additional argument: we know we
are weak because we have been unable to halt the intifada and there is
fear for the life of Jews in the occupied territories. We therefore
cannot state that in the territories we "act as in our own home" [osim
bahem ke'adam ha'oseh betoch shelo]. If we could act so, that would
prove that we were strong, and we would not have to withdraw from the
territories. Using similar reasoning in his most recent TV
appearance, Rabbi Yosef raises the danger of Arab chemical weapons and
the strength of Arab armies as further arguments for withdrawal from
the territories. Similarly, Rabbi Shach claimed in the same issue of
"Yated Ne'eman" that we are weak because we rely on US aid, and for
that reason we must negotiate withdrawal from the territories.
No right of the goyim who reside in these territories to participate
in the decisions concerning their future -- a right that was
acknowledged by Begin, and at least formally by Shamir and Sharon --
was ever mentioned by these rabbis, nor will it ever be. Because in
no case does the goy have inherent rights in the Halacha when
confronting a Jew. He obtains rights only by his power, particularly
his threats. The greater the threat of the goy to the lives of Jews,
the more recognition of his rights by the Halacha.
If our situation grows worse and the threat of war is imminent, only
then will the Ultra Orthodox agree to withdraw from the territories.
If whoever becomes Prime Minister of Israel with the blessing of the
Ultra Orthodox wishes to return any territory in exchange for peace
with Hussein, he will have to make certain that Israel is as weak as
possible. If he assures Israel's strength, the Ultra Orthodox will
prevent the return of the territories to any goy. They will even
begin to demand a transfer of the non-Jewish population, at least that
of Christians.
If the Arabs will not have chemical weapons, if their armies weaken
and the intifada ends -- not only will it be Halachically forbidden to
withdraw, it may be possible to begin expelling the goyim,
particularly the Christians, whose churches must also be destroyed.
If a miracle occurs and all the Palestinians and the Arab countries
accept Mubarak Awad's non-violent approach, and if our power in the US
grows a thousandfold -- it will be permitted according to Halacha to
expel the goyim not only from the Land of Israel, but from "any place
we conquer", according to Rabbi Yosef.
These views are also accepted by those who are called -- erroneously,
in my opinion -- "the religious peace movement", i.e., the groups "Oz
Veshalom" and "Netivot Shalom". These organizations disseminate in
the religious community an earlier Halachic ruling by Rabbi Yosef,
which also discusses the expulsion of the Christians and the
destruction of their churches when we gain sufficient strength, as
proof that we currently lack such strength.
Our Ultra Orthodox rabbis must be treated as we would expect others to
treat anti-Semites of this kind, and we must finally understand: No
peace negotiations and no other positive or humanistic process can be
built upon an alliance with the Orthodox [dati] forces in general and
with the Ultra Orthodox [haredi] in particular.
"James Traficant's error wasn't committing fraud and taking money. His error was doing it old style. While other politicians had moved up to sophisticated methods including campaign donations, speaking fees, book advances and other hidden ways, Traficant stayed true to his suitcase full of cash roots." - freetraficant.com
Since you are all on the subject of the Honorable James A. Traficant Jr., I feel I need to speak out. You all may wonder where I disappeared to in the past few weeks, well I have been busy getting the word out about my beloved congressman. Yes folks I live in Ohio and yes I voted for this man time and time again. He is a great man and a true patriot, and I am completely outraged that your congressmen have chosen to rip up my vote and flush it down the toilet.
I have quite a bit to say so please forgive the length of this post.
First off I would like to reply to Last Emperor who calls my congressman a nut case. First of all he is completely sane, as a matter of fact in his court case in Cleveland he plead "Innocent by reason of Sanity" LOL. You obviously have no facts on this man or what he has done for all of us in the past 18 years. So I will dismiss your crack as sheer ignorance.
CJ, Alpine, Zippo. Thank you for support of him it is very much appreciated. I was afraid that the rest of the country (world) thought of him as a total crack pot but now I have hope.
You seem to like him because he spoke out about the IRS but it goes much deeper than that. It is true he reformed the IRS by shifting the burden of proof from the taxpayer over to the government and we should all be thankful for this. In one years time IRS home seizures fell from over 10,000 down to 57, simply by making the taxpayer innocent until proven guilty. That is a 94% drop and if you dont think the IRS is pissed, think again. Also, he has been trying to completely abolish the IRS in recent years.
For Last Emperor or anyone else who has not followed this mans case or career I have some facts you may find interesting. First off, 2 government entities are responsible for investigating this man, the IRS and the Justice Dept. As stated above you can see why the IRS was after him and below you will read why the Justice Dept. wanted him out.
Fact: With over 1,000 pieces of evidence there is not one single fingerprint of this man on any of it. Including letters, memos, envelopes, and money.
Fact: There is no video or audio tape evidence. All evidence was heresay. We all know the FBI is inept, but dont be fooled into thinking they have no video or audio of him, of course they do it just doesnt show him doing anything illegal and they know it.
Fact: His trial was moved out of his district illegally for one purpose, they knew we would have let him go. When have you ever heard of a case being moved to give an advantage to the prosecution instead of the defense?
Fact: In the year 2000 census Ohio's population decreased, meaning we would lose one congressional district. Can you all guess who's district was removed. Good guess!!
Fact: As Sheriff he refused to forclose on the homes of out of work steel workers and spent 3 days in jail because of it. He was hailed as a hero and champion of the working class man.
Fact: He is the only man in this nations history to ever beat a RICO case. And he did it by defending himself, this is what catapulted him into the house in 1984. Problem was he repeatedly flaunted this and shoved it into the face of the Justice Dept.
I see this is starting to get even longer than I anticipated so I will leave you with those simple facts. There are many others that are directly related to the case but I dont want to take up a whole page of my own here.
Here are a few of his one-minute speeches he was famous for giving on the House floor. His in-the-face directness and humor will be sadly missed.
On the Justice Dept.---Lies, Cover-ups and Murder
May 16, 2000Reports show that the FBI lied about Waco. The FBI denied using tear gas until a memo was found and they were forced to admit it. The FBI then confiscated all autopsy reports of victims at Waco and now claims they lost it. In addition, the FBI lied about Ruby Ridge, Idaho, forcing Congress to give $5 million to the Weaver family to cover up their lies. Lies, cover-ups, murder, over 90 Americans killed at Waco and Ruby Ridge and not one single charge.
Beam me up. The Congress of the United States is allowing a police state to exist in our own country. Shame Congress. Lies, murder, Waco, Ruby Ridge, Boston. You name the cities. I yield back the crimes and cover-ups of the Gestapo state that has developed in America at the United States Justice Department.
Time For Oversight Of The Justice Department
May 15, 2000Mr. Speaker, scientist Carl Ghigliotti, a contract expert for the FBI who was deemed extremely competent by the FBI said, 'The FBI lied under oath about Waco when the FBI testified that they did not fire automatic weapons into the burning building.' Unbelievable.
Check this out. Shortly after Gilliotti's statement, Gilliotti came up missing. Gilliotti's 42-year old body was found 2 weeks later in his own laboratory dead and badly decomposed. I say, Mr. Speaker, Gilliotti did not choke on a chicken bone.
A full investigation is warranted by Congress. Otherwise, the Justice Department will investigate the FBI, and the FBI will investigate the death of Carl Gilliotti. Beam me up. It is time for some oversight on the Justice Department by passing H.R. 4105.
The FBI In Youngstown, Ohio, Owned By The Mob
May 2, 2000Mr. Speaker, I have evidence that certain FBI agents in Youngstown, Ohio, have violated the RICO statute, and I shall prove it. For years they were owned by the Mob; but now they have made a big mistake, Mr. Speaker. Youngstown FBI agents stole large sums of cash that were vouchered to be paid to their street informants. In addition, they failed to report that cash on their tax returns. Bingo. But what is even worse, they quote/unquote suggested to one of their field operative informants that he should commit murder. Mr. Speaker, murder. Not only in boston, now in Youngstown, Ohio.
It is out of control. The Congress of the United States should pass H.R. 4105. There are buddies investigating buddies in the Justice Department, and they are getting away with murder. Enough is enough.
I yield back the FBI fox in the hen house.
Corruption In The Justice Department
March 21, 2000Mr. Speaker, 19 years ago, I defended myself and was found innocent of RICO violations. Forensic tests proved that the Justice Department used a fraudulent confession against me. What is even worse, at my trial the FBI admitted they had evidence that the agent-in-charge of the Youngstown FBI office, Mr. Stan Peterson, was on the payroll of the Mob, and when he retired, was appointed the chief of police of Youngstown at the direction of the Mob.
Now, if that is not enough to shred the Constitution. The FBI further testified they never investigated Stan Peterson. Enough is enough. I am announcing formally today that I am once again a target of the Justice Department.
Listen, I plan to fight like a junkyard dog, and if I die in that courtroom, bring it on; but I want to thank every Member for their encouragement that they have given me and for their good concerns.
In America, the person governs. We should not fear the IRS. We took care of that.
I will be submitting legislation this week that will provide for outside investigations into wrongdoing in the Justice Department. Right now, the Justice Department investigates the Justice Department.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the corruption in the Justice Department.
On National Defense:----
Disaster Waiting To Happen On U.S. Borders
July 20, 2000Mr. Speaker, a study finally admits, and I quote, 'America's borders are so wide open, terrorists could easily smuggle a nuclear bomb across both our borders.' Think about it, 3 million illegal immigrants, heroin and cocaine by the tons, and now a report that further says it is so bad in some areas orange cones are used like scarecrows with no border patrol presence at all.
Unbelievable. We have soldiers vaccinating dogs in Haiti, while terrorists can bring nukes across our border. Beam me up here. Who master-minded this policy? the Proctologist Association of North America?
Mr. Speaker, I yield back a disaster waiting to happen on the borders of the United States of America with a Congress sleeping at the switch.
American Borders Wide Open
May 18, 2000Mr. Speaker, there is no war on drugs or terrorism in America. There is a war on kids. There are more prisons, more police, more Federal agents, more drugs than ever. It is unbelievable.
The reason is very simple. Our borders are wide open. Wide open, ladies and gentlemen. Heroin and cocaine coming in by the ton, and a nuclear warhead can literally be smuggled across the border.
Beam me up. A nation that does not secure their borders is a nation without secureity. Today we can pass the Traficant amendment that does not mandate but allows the use of troops on the border.
I yield back Osama bin Laden someday perhaps at our border, and that is no joke.
This is the kind of stuff he has been talking about for the past 18 years and as you can see he gave the Fed plenty of reason to want him. I wish I could list all his speeches because the ones here simply do not give you the full effect, I simply thought that these particular ones would give you some idea of what this man stands for. In the last two, written in 2000, he even tries to warn about a catastrophe on the horizon. Still think he's a nut case?
Some other ones include him telling the Pentagon that since they bought combat boots from China maybe we can buy some Generals and Admirals cheaper there too. And that China is sucking up our national secrets faster than the President (Clinton) can suck down a Big Mac and a box of fries. LOL Or the one where he calls the IRS the "Internal Rectal Service". The list just goes on and on.
I hope you all get the picture though, that is this man has been railroaded like no other in our history. His only crime is standing up for the American people when everyone else was afraid of the government. He is not afraid and should be admired for it. You know, he even went so far as to accuse Janet Reno of treason and called her a lesbian on national TV. Talk about balls!!
I for one will continue to write him in on the ballot in my newly drawn district that he's not even running in. And dont be surprised if he does get re-elected from his jail cell, he still has quite a following here. In fact I wouldnt be surprised if he got the majority of the votes in two different districts. Would'nt that be something. LOL
This has been a very low-publicity event. Most Americans have no idea that 1000 connected Jews are in their nation's capital going to conferences titled: "Seeking a New Global Order".
The schedule of the event is here: AJC Annual Meeting – April 29 – May 3 (best award for unintended humor: a guy named Ken Schept is in charge of "Holocaust Archive Exhibit and Branding").
In particular, Admiral Mullen told the AJC of a threat to America that's not being told to the American people but is being published in only a few places worldwide. Why does the AJC hear about this threat but not the American people?
Quoted articles:
FATA militants pose direct threat to US
" Washington, May 3 (ANI): The militants hiding in the tribal areas (Federally Administered Tribal Areas) along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border pose a direct threat to the US and other Western nations, and that Pakistan would need three-five years to root out insurgency from these areas, said Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen.
The head of the US armed forces also said that Al Qaeda and the Taliban were using the area to regroup and reorganize themselves in a bid to launch fresh attacks on the US and other nations in the West.
I believe they are preparing to launch attacks against the US and Western interests, the Dawn quoted Mullen as saying.
Speaking at the 102 nd annual meeting of the American Jewish Committee in Washington, he said: All nations must work with Pakistans new government to address the challenges in the tribal area.
He further said that the Taliban were on the offensive in Afghanistan, and a stiffening of resistance has taken place, especially in the southern part of the country. The April 27 assassination attempt on Afghan President Hamid Karzai is just the most recent example of the dangers in the country, he added.
Meanwhile, in a report to the US House of Representatives and the Senate, the Pentagon said that Al Qaeda and Taliban militants had built safe havens at several places in the tribal zone. Deficiencies in the Pakistan armys ability to conduct counter-insurgency operations are being addressed; however, it will take three to five years before they are realised on the battlefield, the report added.
It further said that while the Pakistan Army had been trained and equipped to fight India, its Frontier Corps, responsible for the tribal areas, was under-trained, ill-equipped and in many cases are outgunned by their militant opponents. (ANI)"
