18/12/2006 Current world events are beginning to increasingly resemble the 2,500 year old bible prophecy made by Ezekiel in chapters 38-39. Ezekiel foresaw the rise of Russia (or Turkey, depending on the interpretation) in a coalition with Iran and other Middle Eastern countries (Sudan, Ethiopia and Libya).
The coalition is foretold to attack Israel from the north in a bid to destroy it during the earth's "last days," commonly known as the "war of Gog and Magog." Throughout history it was thought that the prophecy had been put on hold, until perhaps today when it seems frighteningly more feasible. In Joel C. Rosenberg's book "The Ezekiel Option," the author points to Ezekiel's prophecies in chapters 36-37, which have largely come true. Rosenberg then asks the obvious question: If prophecies such as "the rebirth of the State of Israel, the return of the Jews to the Holy Land after centuries in exile, the re-blossoming of desolate desert land to produce abundant food, fruit and foliage, and the creation of an exceedingly great army" materialized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, then why shouldn't the next prophecies come true in our lifetime? Comment: First up; "Ezekiel" and most of the other people and events of the old testament were made up by a bunch of psycho Levites with a megalomania complex. Second; the "prophecies" such as "the rebirth of the State of Israel", "the return of the Jews to the Holy Land after centuries in exile", the "re-blossoming" of "desolate desert land to produce abundant food, fruit and foliage", and the "creation of an exceedingly great army", need some clarification:
the rebirth of the state of Israel could not have happened because before the present artificially created one, there never was a "state of Israel". The "return of the Jews to the holy land" was more of a forced return against their wishes and with the help of Hitler, his Zionist/Communist friends and their "final solution". The "re-blossoming of the desert" would be laughable if it were not in fact evidence of racism. The "desert" was enjoying a much more peaceable and harmonious blooming under the indigenous Arabs of Palestine before the Zionist came invading and destroyed or stole everything in sight. As for the "creation of an exceedingly great army"; Israel's army is not that great, as evidenced by its defeat at the hands of Hizb'allah this year, and the army it does have is purely the product of extortion, blackmail and bribery of American politicians by Zionist leaders. So we see that "biblical" prophecy is a self-fulfilling one, and much more earthly and man made than Zionist pundits would have us believe. The solution then is to remove the warmongering Yahwehites and Zionists and peace may have a chance of reigning on earth. |

Forward In 1964, preeminent sociologist Marshall Sklare published an article in Commentary magazine titled "Intermarriage and the Jewish Future," sounding an alarm at a time when only 7.2% of married Jews had non-Jewish spouses. Even though Sklare and most Jews of his time viewed intermarriage as a one-way ticket out of Judaism, the conventional wisdom of the time held "that the threat of the problem has been surprisingly well contained in America." But Sklare saw this complacency as deeply misleading.
Comment: Any group that focuses on their special character, while ignoring the question of conscience, has chosen the path of entropy. The only important fact of humanity is the fact of conscience. If you ignore that, you have aligned with the animal kingdom.
The author speaks of "commitment, values, belief, and practice". We ask, to what? What good is "belief"? Isn't "belief" one of those things that creates hatred between groups? How about jettisoning belief altogether, whether it is religious or scientific materialism? |

By MARIA ASPAN The dialogue surrounding the Warner Brothers film "Blood Diamond" and its implicit criticism of the diamond industry took a new turn this month, as the hip-hop producer and entertainment mogul Russell Simmons returned from an industry-paid trip to Africa and began vocally defending the diamond trade.
Comment by Jeff Blankfort: Two of the more obscene aspects of political life in today's world are (1) the almost total absence of any discussion on who has profited from the trade in Africa's "blood diamonds" (hint: the world's diamond centers are in Tel Aviv, New York and Antwerp and they are run by Hasidic Jews ) and (2) the plantation-like control over the black political class by the American Jewish political establishment. Both come together in this article from today's NY Times. Simmons, who made a fortune with his DefJam record label, joined with Rabbi Marc Schneier in 2002 to become chair of the "The Foundation for Ethnic Understanding to combat anti-Semitism and Racism, with an emphasis on the former and "was honored by the Israeli Consulate at the Jewish Community Relations Council/Jewish National Fund Annual Tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr., held at the home of Israeli Consul General Alon Pinkas" according to the foundation's web site.
The story of Ben Chavis is a much sadder one. Chavis, a one-time civil rights leader, tried to remake the NAACP into a viable organization more than a decade ago with an outreach to black youth, but ran afoul of the NAACP's Jewish funders who would not forgive him for having earlier expressed support for the PLO. Through the Forward newspaper and Commentary magazine, they launched a concerted attack against him, and with the loss of those Jewish funders, he was finally forced to resign, whereupon the funding miraculously returned and the organization once again became irrelevant in the black community. Now, like Jesse Jackson who is still doing penance for having referred to Jews as "Hymie," in 1984, as in the expression, "All Hymie wants to talk about is Israel" (which he said to NPR's Juan Williams, another Uncle Tom, who proceeded to snitch on him), Chavis is apparently trying to get into the good graces of the plantation's overseers. Besides Jackson, genuflecting to Jewish power seems to have worked for Al Sharpton and Rep. John Conyers whose criticism of Jimmy Carter for using the word, "apartheid" to describe Israel's treatment of the Palestinians under its occupation, was cited in an ad attacking Carter placed in the NY Times by the ADL last Wednesday.-JB |

zaman.com December 15, 2006 Robert Faurisson, a French academic who attended an Iranian conference questioning the Jewish Holocaust, could face legal punishment.
Robert Faurisson might be brought to court as a result of the comments he made at the "unacceptable" Tehran gathering, French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy said. The foreign minister said the French academic was previously taken to court and banned from teaching at universities for his attitude toward the holocaust. The French academic, who attended the conference titled "Review of the Holocaust: Global Vision" held by Iranian Foreign Ministry Foreign Policy Center, was previously convicted for denying the holocaust five times in his country. |
