The truth will out: Declassified Intel files prove U.S.-Israel relations to be ongoing tragedy

This Intel report is the Rosetta Stone for everything that Israel has done since before its so called birth, but which was more like letting a Frankenstein monster loose on the land. We had loyal Americans who saw the trap back then, yet we walked right into it. Why have we done it, and for whom?

The history of America's involvement with Israel has been an ongoing tragedy. The Palestinians have of course suffered the most, having been invaded by legions of atheist and communist Jews, primarily from Eastern Europe. And yes, they claim 'God gave us the land'.

They teamed up with the 5th column Zionists already there who had been carefully and methodically laying plans for taking over the land and doing to the Palestinians what they claimed the Nazis had done to them--killing and kicking the Palestinians out to make more lebensraum (growing space) for more Jews.
Generations of Israeli Lobby fellow travelers have worn the sordid mantle of 'Palestinian holocaust Deniers', to coin a phrase, with no shame whatsoever. Golda Meir was their Hebrew Klan Grand Dragon. She produced a low cost and instant holocaust hat trick. "There are no Palestinian people," she said.
One of the main tasks of Israeli espionage has always been to protect Israel from judgment day for their crimes against humanity against the Palestinian people. To them this is a war, and they take no prisoners. When are we going to figure this out, when it comes to dealing with them?
Today I begin a series of articles to pin the holocaust tails on their correct donkey. I am going to use sources with which the general public is unfamiliar, the declassified American Intel files on Israel. And yes, these have been open since the early 1980's, but might as well have been in a library on the moon.
Israeli penetration into not only our media and publishing, but also our political arena has virtually banished these documents from the historical narrative. The fear is that they could be used to deprogram pro-Israeli zombies and expose all the treasonous Americans who have aided and abetted the Israelis in hiding their crimes.

Let us start at the beginning. A crime against an entire people, to holocaust them from their own land, has to have a plan. Here it is

Global perspective on American culture of murdering children

'You come from a culture where it is okay to kill children,' the Iraqi woman said. We were sheltering against the wall of a building in Fallujah in April 2004 while the city was under attack by US forces.

I began to protest, but she continued, in broken English: 'Let me say it another way. You come from a culture where your people think it is okay to kill our children.'

What could I say? There were several little bodies at my feet, bloodied remains laid out on the footpath and covered with thin sheets. The children had been shot by US snipers that day, among at least 1000 civilians killed in that ferocious attack.

This Iraqi woman knew there would be no collective outrage at the killing of Fallujah's children. No front-page headlines. We would not know their names, see their faces or hear their stories. Their killers would not be pursued, labelled 'mad' or 'evil', or made to face a court. There would be no calls for 'change.'

Some commentators have compared the response to deaths of the children in the small American community of Newtown with the young victims of US wars. The point is valid. A life is a life, and all life is precious; a fact that has enough weight of its own without the need to draw comparisons.

Illegal Occupation: Israel plans another 6,000 Settlement Homes

Despite International Criticism, Interior Ministry Pushing Through More Schemes

Yesterday's announcement for 1,500 more settlement units in occupied East Jerusalem took a lot of people by surprise. Israel usually staggers such announcements so they can finish diplomatic damage control on the one before announcing another, and the dispute over E1 is still fresh in everyone's minds. It seems this is just the new normal for Israel heading into the election.

That's because the Interior Ministry is now reporting that its panel didn't finish with the 1,500, and in fact is going to keep meeting throughout the week to rubber stamp expansions in two more settlements in East Jerusalem, making this week's announcements up to 6,000 units.

In the US, mass child killings are tragedies. In Pakistan, mere bug splats

Barack Obama's tears for the children of Newtown are in stark contrast to his silence over the children murdered by his drones

"Mere words cannot match the depths of your sorrow, nor can they heal your wounded hearts ... These tragedies must end. And to end them, we must change." Every parent can connect with what President Barack Obama said about the murder of 20 children in Newtown, Connecticut. There can scarcely be a person on earth with access to the media who is untouched by the grief of the people of that town.

It must follow that what applies to the children murdered there by a deranged young man also applies to the children murdered in Pakistan by a sombre American president. These children are just as important, just as real, just as deserving of the world's concern. Yet there are no presidential speeches or presidential tears for them, no pictures on the front pages of the world's newspapers, no interviews with grieving relatives, no minute analysis of what happened and why.

Newtown kids v. Yemenis and Pakistanis: What explains the disparate reactions?

Numerous commentators have rightly lamented the difference in how these childrens' deaths are perceived. What explains it?

Over the last several days, numerous commentators have lamented the vastly different reactions in the US to the heinous shooting of children in Newtown, Connecticut as compared to the continuous killing of (far more) children and innocent adults by the US government in Pakistan and Yemen, among other places. The blogger Atrios this week succinctly observed:
"I do wish more people who manage to fully comprehend the broad trauma a mass shooting can have on our country would consider the consequences of a decade of war."
My Guardian colleague George Monbiot has a powerful and eloquent column this week provocatively entitled: "In the US, mass child killings are tragedies. In Pakistan, mere bug splats". He points out all the ways that Obama has made lethal US attacks in these predominantly Muslim countries not only more frequent but also more indiscriminate - "signature strikes" and "double-tap" attacks on rescuers and funerals - and then argues:
"Most of the world's media, which has rightly commemorated the children of Newtown, either ignores Obama's murders or accepts the official version that all those killed are 'militants'. The children of north-west Pakistan, it seems, are not like our children. They have no names, no pictures, no memorials of candles and flowers and teddy bears. They belong to the other: to the non-human world of bugs and grass and tissue.

"'Are we,' Obama asked on Sunday, 'prepared to say that such violence visited on our children year after year after year is somehow the price of our freedom?' It's a valid question. He should apply it to the violence he is visiting on the children of Pakistan."

Police State: NDAA 2013 - Indefinite detention without trial is back

Lawmakers in Washington have stripped an amendment from next year's National Defense Authorization Act that could have kept the government from indefinitely detaining US citizens without charge or trial.

Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin (D-Michigan) told reporters on Tuesday that an amendment to the 2013 defense spending bill approved only two weeks earlier had been removed. That amendment, authored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California), was pitched as a solution to a clause in the current NDAA that allows for the indefinite detention of US citizens without due process or habeas corpus.

Under the 2012 NDAA, US President Barack Obama is affirmed the power to put any American citizen behind bars if he or she is suspected of assisting in any way with forces engaged in hostilities against the United States or its allies. That provision, Sec. 1021, says any person who commits a "belligerent act" against the country can be imprisoned indefinitely "without trial" until the vaguely-worded period of hostilities has come to an end.

U.S., Qatar coordinating to destabilize Jordan

The US and Qatar are coordinating plans to destabilize Jordan, Arab sources warned on Wednesday, adding that both countries are making hectic efforts to this end.

"The US and Qatar's embassies (in Jordan) in a coordinated move are recruiting groups in Jordan to strike at the country's stability," the Arabic-language al-Manar weekly quoted Arab diplomatic sources as saying.

Qatar has recently augmented its moves and meddling in several regional states. Sources disclosed earlier this week that Qatar has also been trying to destabilize Syria and Kuwait.

On Sunday, Russian analysts said that the Jordanian king is deeply fearful that the destabilizing efforts made by Turkey, Egypt and Qatar lead to an uprising in his country.

"We knew the world would not be the same. Few people laughed, few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." - Robert Oppenheimer First broadcast as part of the television documentary The Decision to Drop the Bomb (1965)

"Evil visited this community today," is how Governor Molloy described the awful events that occurred at a Newtown Connecticut Elementary school. Whenever a "terrorist" attacks and innocents are slaughtered, we begin referencing religious concepts and asking the inevitable questions. Why do they hate us? Why would someone commit such an atrocity? Why was a flawed, obviously insane individual allowed access to weapons? The 24 hour cable "news" networks voyeuristically "report" firsthand accounts and talking head "experts" speculate regarding motive and intent. But yet we ignore the obvious, and refuse to look at who we are, better, what we've become, as a nation, a people, that makes such awful events not an aberration, but an all too common occurrence of slaughter and mayhem.

Benghazi Whitewash: State Department 'systematic security faults' left consulate vulnerable

© Reuters/Esam Al-FetoriA protester reacts as the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi is seen in flames during a protest by an armed group said to have been protesting a film being produced in the United States September 11, 2012.
An independent panel set up to investigate September's Benghazi attack has placed the blame for the death of four US foreign servicemen on inadequate security measures provided by the State Department.

­On Tuesday, the US State Department delivered a classified version of the report by the Accountability Review Board containing 29 recommendations to improve US embassy security to lawmakers. An unclassified version of the findings was also released.

Systematic mismanagement was blamed for the inadequate security that left the diplomatic mission in Benghazi vulnerable to the attack on September 11th. Contrary to initial reports, the panel concluded that there were no rallies outside embassy at the time of the assault and blamed the deaths of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others on terrorists.

The probe also revealed that Washington ignored calls from the American Embassy in Tripoli to supply more guards for diplomats, instead relying on local militias to safeguard the diplomatic mission.

The findings also said that the State Department waited for specific threats rather than installing security protocols as the security situation worsened in the country. In addition the inquiry discovered that "intelligence provided no immediate, specific tactical warning of the September 11 attacks."

Comment: 'Systematic mismanagement' by definition implies that policy was in place to routinely subvert usual management practice.

FBI won't charge Petraeus' mistress

The mistress of former CIA head Gen. David Petraeus will not be charged with cyberstalking, the United States Department of Justice confirmed Tuesday.

Attorneys for Paula Broadwell say that the woman blamed for bringing down the country's top intelligence officer won't face any federal charges related to "alleged acts of cyberstalking," according to a letter they released Tuesday from Assistant US Attorney W. Stephen Muldrow.

"As the target of our investigation, we believe it is appropriate to advise your client that our office has determined that no federal charges will be brought in the Middle District of Florida relating to alleged acts of cyberstalking," the letter reads.

Broadwell, the one-time biographer of Gen. Petraeus, was under investigation for allegedly harassing a Florida socialite named Jill Kelley. Emails sent to Kelley warning her to stay away from the Gen. Petraeus as well as Gen. John Allen, the US commander in Afghanistan, provoked the recipient to ask for help from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI was brought in to conduct a probe of those emails, only to in turn uncover an affair between Broadwell and Gen. Petraeus.
