There is no peace in Palestine





Word is that Washington and the other Western and European powers are happy that former PA president Mahmoud Abbas will be involved in what they are calling indirect talks with Israel. What a sham. Mahmoud Abbas is no longer president of the PA and is barely holding onto power in Fatah, where he was threatened with ouster just months ago. Abbas is a Palestinian leader who has the unique distinction of being drenched in the blood of his own people, on whose behalf he will pretend to negotiate. In fact, one might suspect that his being drenched in Palestinian blood makes him the perfect peace partner for Benjamin Netanyahu, who we all know is also drenched in Palestinian blood. That blood includes the fresh blood of Hamas co-founder Mahmoud Mabhouh, who was assassinated in January by an Israeli hit team in Dubai. This has obviously upset Abbas so much, that his participation in indirect talks will supposedly begin this week, rather than after Dubai’s police chief issues the arrest warrant he has pledged to issue for Netanyahu’s arrest in relationship to the Dubai murder.

The fact that the two peace partners are not men who care the least bit about Palestine and who could care even less about the Palestinian people is not the biggest problem with the so called indirect negotiations. The biggest problem is that they are again claiming to be negotiating peace, when everyone knows there is no peace to negotiate in Palestine. Israel, knowing that Abbas was chomping at the negotiations bit, even though he pretended to hold out for an Israeli halt to illegal settlement building which everyone knew was not going to happen, has been very busy preparing for the talks by grabbing up more Palestinian land, even laying claim to Christian and Muslim holy sites under the false claim that the sites are part of the Jewish heritage of Israel. Netanyahu knows what Abbas ignores, and that is that whatever he takes prior to negotiations is non negotiable, and Israel’s European and US patrons will never force or pressure Israel to give up anything of the land that it claims as its Biblical right, even if that land is under the religious sites of other faiths, whose existence dates back centuries ago.

With Netanyahu doing everything in his power to confiscate as much land as he can prior to the so called indirect talks, Abbas’s role is already limited. What will he negotiate? It’s obvious that these talks are not about Palestinian land, or even a state, all things that Israel has either already taken or already refused. So what is the point of these indirect negotiations? The purpose of these indirect talks is to decide how to complete the continued ethnic and religious cleansing of the West Bank and Jerusalem through a negotiated agreement with Mahmoud Abbas, and his Fatah movement whose membership now includes two Zionist Israeli Jews who have inroads into the Israel government.

Netanyahu has said that he wants Jordan to be involved in all subsequent talks which means that he is ready to introduce John Hagee’s and the other Christian Zionist’s proposed solution to the crisis in Palestine, which is to further ignore the Geneva Conventions and to transfer the Palestinians from the West Bank and Jerusalem to Jordan. Funny don’t you think how Jordan keeps popping up in these final solutions proposed by Israel for their land grabbing schemes? First Palestine, then Iraq, and now back to Palestine. Makes one wonder why Israel thinks Jordan is willing or even interested in becoming an Israeli proxy authority over Palestinians and Iraqis displaced by Israel’s maneuvers to reconstruct what it deems Greater Israel.

It’s also important to note that the Palestinian people themselves are not interested in either direct or indirect talks with Israel. Most, if not all of the other Palestinian factions, who represent two or three times the number of Palestinians represented by Fatah, and who feel that they are not represented adequately by the PLO, are opposed to any negotiations with Israel. The people who make up and support these factions remember that every round of negotiations with Israel ends with a massacre as punishment for refusing Israel’s demands. They already know that regardless of the lies Abbas will tell, or what promises he makes, knowing that he cannot deliver anything, the Palestinian people must prepare to fight, and to survive more crippling and devastating pressure, resulting from the schemes Israel and the traitorous Arab governments will employ to deny Palestinians statehood, the right of return, and anything of meaning, and only transfer.

This also explains why Israel is desperate for the US to impose crippling sanctions on Iran, going so far as to request that the US attempt to blockade Iran to prevent Iran from being able to move its ships outside the Persian Gulf, should Iran decide to come to the rescue of the Palestinians. Israel realizes that the only thing that can foil its wicked plan is the Islamic movement and it is working desperately to do what it can to prevent any of the countries or groups that have taken an Islamic position on the crisis in Palestine from coming to Palestine’s assistance. With the approval of the Arab League for Israel’s final solution, communicated slyly as its “approval” of indirect talks between Abbas and Israel, Israel feels that its future as a Jewish only state that has captured all of historic Palestine is finally within sight. If it can either neutralize or defeat Syria, Iran, Turkey, Lebanon, Hezbollah, Hamas and the other resistance groups in Palestine, its dream of complete capture and control of historic Palestine, and normalized relations with its traitorous Arab neighbors will have come true. If this scenario plays out as Israel hopes, all of the murder, torture, lies and violations of the law will have paid off and perhaps forgiven or ignored by a world that is weary of this problem and perhaps willing to take whatever solution it can get, even at the expense of Palestinian life, rights, hopes and homeland.

There is no peace in Palestine and none will be found until Abbas resigns, the PA is dissolved and the people of Palestine allowed to elect their own representatives and to present to the world, their own demands for freedom for Israel’s brutal and illegal occupation. No amount of fake negotiations will lead to peace, in fact everything that is now being put in place by the US, EU, Israel and the traitor Arab states will be a cause for war. It will be war because Israel and the traitor Arab states will never again be left to torture and torment the Palestinian people as the world looks on and does nothing. Neither will they be allowed to transfer the Palestinians to Jordan. Israel and its lackeys east and west, have miscalculated the strength of those who are determined that Israel will not succeed, and that the blood, hopes, lives, homes and the rights of the Palestinian people, will not be a casualty of Israel’s sick and demented fantasy of greater Israel and a Jewish only state, nor a casualty of the religious fanaticism of the Christian wrong who are attempting to force the world into Armageddon, or their cowardly sycophants in the governments of the EU and the US.

Michelle Malkin: Enemy of the people and US Constitutiion?

After reading several of the right wing blogs, and the comments left mostly by right wing supporters commenting on the Michelle Malkin, Rachel Ray scarf situation, I realized that Michelle Malkin, who poses as a mere conservative columnist and commentator is actually more likely an enemy of the people of this country, that is out to undo our Constitution. I know it sounds far fetched, but when you read the titles of this woman’s books, and her opinions on rights and freedoms, it becomes pretty clear that she is no patriot, and that she has not grasped the importance of individual liberties as essential elements of freedom and self governance, and has no respect for US law and traditions.

Either like, or along with the Judeo / Christian religious right who is almost daily taking actions aimed at limiting, depriving and violating the constitutional rights of US citizens through the use of public censure, and threats, Malkin is out to demonstrate how the Constitution can be forced into obsolescence simply with a flick of the pen, a few wicked and inflammatory lies, and threats. Whereas the law may not necessarily prohibit the right of any person to hold a view such as Malkin’s, such tactics might be criminal if carried out with others like racketeering, according to some readings of the RICOH Act.

When such tactics and views become the methodology of choice for a number of people and organizations, working in concert, and very obviously acting to overthrow the constitution of this country and to replace it with their unethical, racist and fascist Judeo/Christian ideology, America has a problem and it’s bigger than Dunkin Donuts.

Anyone who remembers the run up to the Iraq war is familiar with these tactics. They were used to shut down, or vilify and silence all voices that opposed the war, or who challenged the lies disguised as intelligence that became the cause for war. We now know that the primary advisors to the President during that time were not military men, or even lawyers and Constitutional experts. The presidential advisers that helped lead us into an unnecessary war based upon lies were the Judeo/Christian movement pastors and political operatives that took over our government after 9/11 through political appointments, or who were granted access through US Congress people who eat from, and are sustained by the garbage in the Judeo/Christian Zionist trough. They are not finished. Bush has until January in office, and they plan to use that time to further their agenda. Having succeeded in imposing their devilish vision of Judeo/Christian dominance over the world, brought about through the use of US military force and proselytizing in Iraq, they are acting now to lead us into another unnecessary war, this time with Iran. Malkin, who wrote a book, explaining why Muslims, Arabs and other Americans should be held in detention camps as they prosecute these illegal wars, is now at work insuring that everyone is put on notice that there will be no dissent allowed this time either, not even symbolic dissent.

Malkin’s most recent assault against the American people and our US Constitution is her attempt to use public censure as a means to deny us our constitutionally protected rights to hold a dissenting and unpopular view, and also to hold and express a political opinion, and to express that opinion in our dress, or any other way that we and not Malkin chooses. Malkin and the right wing fascists that support her are a danger to the United States, since they threaten to overturn by stealth, everything that our founders and the noble men and women who struggled for freedom from the British Empire fought for without due process. It seems that they plan to take over the country, and in fact the world, by force.

The people of this country have a constitutionally protected right to hold unpopular and dissenting political and even religious views without the threat of organized campaigns designed purely to deny or to deprive us of those rights. American citizens also have the right to express such views, whether it is through our choice of clothing, or speech, or our choice of whom to financially support through financial contributions, etc. The Supreme Court has consistently upheld these rights, and has never wavered in its interpretations. Malkin or others have no right to organize to deprive us of our rights, or to threaten and intimidate businesses, and other institutions in this country with harm should they act in deference to the US Constitution and citizen’s rights.

Since this most recent effort by the fanatical right to undermine the US Constitution is centered on a scarf and a donut maker’s advertisement for coffee, it may seem to be a trite and unimportant incident. When we consider what is at stake, if every business in the US, every school, or other institution falls in lockstep with Malkin and her fascist cohorts, what we will loose will be the very Constitution that our founders and subsequent generations of patriots have fought and died for. Our freedoms and our rights will be past history. We will all be forced to live by the rules of John Hagee, Rod Parsley, Pat Robertson, and Joe Lieberman. Our country will be a place where we must all dress the same, think the same and worship the same, sacrifice our lives and treasure for Israel, or be subjected to organized campaigns of defamation and scourging, and censure.

Perhaps as a former soldier who once took an oath to protect the US Constitution and my country, I am particularly sensitive to the ploys of people like Malkin, and her co-conspirators. They claim to be patriots, while they are actually more likely to be subversives who use their rights to deny others the freedoms that God bestowed upon us all equally, regardless of our races, religions, or political affiliations.

If we are smart, we will not let this recent attack on the constitution just go away, and wait quietly for the fascist’s next assault. It’s time that the people of this country wake up, and realize that whether we like it or not, we are involved in a cold war for the very soul of our country, and the Constitution that protects that soul in the same way that Holy Books protect and validate the practice of religion.

We must not surrender to Malkin and those who feel that the US Constitution can be forced into obsolescence or rendered irrelevant by the force of public censure and threats. The United States is a republic that is governed by law, not public opinion.

We, the people, must organize to fight this cold war in defense of our constitution, never failing to speak and to stand for the unbridled constitutional rights of every citizen in this country, and especially the right to hold dissenting views, and to express those views whether it be through our choice of dress, fashion, fundraising, protesting, marching, speaking, etc., etc., etc., that we choose.

In my opinion, Michelle Malkin has proven on more than one occasion that she is a person who has not understood the US Constitution, and its significance. Perhaps she feels that we are all like Dunkin Donuts and the other people and institutions that she has whipped with her fascist tongue and pen, and threatened into conformity. We should let her, and her cohorts know that they have underestimated the American people, and that we also have a pen, and a cause.

I pray that every decent American who loves their country will boycott Duncan Donuts until they restore the Rachel ray advertisement. I hope that everywhere Michelle Malkin shows up to spread and spew her hateful anti-American venom, crowds of freedom loving people will be there to shout her down. The luxury of apathy has ended. Malkin fired one of many salvos fired by the Judeo/Christian fascist, when she sought to make the case that American citizens should be denied the right to political freedom and public expression, and that those who refuse to conspire with her and her fellow stooges should be threatened into complicity and conformity. We must respond equally, if not more forcefully, without using the fascist tactics they employ.

Part of this response must be to put US businesses and other institutions on notice. If they think Malkin and her crew are to be feared, imagine a United States run by the likes of Malkin, and the other right wing fascist who have taken over the US airways and blogs in an effort to systematically undermine the US Constitution, and to deny and deprive us of our Constitutional rights. If you want to live by the laws of Hagee, Robertson, Parsley and Malkin, keep kowtowing. If we want to remain free, we must fight back.

God v. Mukasey

It should be clear to everyone by now that the US Judiciary is and has been the primary battleground for the Zionist neo-con war against the American people, and especially our government, our Constitution, our minorities and our political and religious dissidents. Ironically it was the US Congress, lead by Feinstein, Schumer and Specter that orchestrated what they might believe was the final turn over of the US republic to the Judeo Christian Zionist forces of Pat Robertson and his Zionist movement. This turn over was staged as an outcry against the former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who was charged with politicizing the Department of Justice in an effort to make it subservient to the Republican Party. It was a brilliant performance aimed at perpetuating the lie that we have two parties in the US and a representative democracy. It was also a very convincing performance that may have even fooled Gonzales who finally gave up and resigned, but only after he perhaps realized that he was not fighting a political battle, Democrats v. Republicans, but rather he was sitting in someone else’s seat. That someone was the Chief Zionist judiciary executioner, the powerful man whom some might call dishonorable, the Robes Pierre of our time, the judge Michael Mukasey.

It seems that Gonzales finally figured it out, after several rounds of Congressional grilling and media beatings, that he was not being forced out of the Department of Justice for sanctioning torture, or violating his oath to protect the US Constitution, nor for Abu Ghraib, or the witch hunt being carried out in US courtrooms against Muslim and Arab political activists and other minorities and dissidents. It seems that at some point, Gonzales either figured out, or someone tugged his coat tail and advised him that he was standing in the way of the complete Judeo Christian Zionist take over of the US republic, and he resigned. Like the synchronized workings of a fine watch, Gonzales resigned and Mukasey was nominated, with a presidential threat to refuse to nominate anyone other than Mukasey, which may have meant that the final stage of the takeover had been reached, and no more substitutes or stalling would be allowed.

Mukasey’s nomination, and confirmation was a perfectly staged event with the Democrats playing their assigned role as protectors of the US Constitution and the rule of law, while the Republicans played their complimentary role, spouting the rhetoric of fear and hatred of Muslims and Arabs and Islam, and war on terrorism, as a cause for abolishing the US Constitution and adopting the laws of the Old Testament, (not the Torah) as interpreted by the Zionist neo-cons in their Talmud and the pro-Israel Christian Zionist pimps who have defiled the pulpits of the United States with their desecration of the Bible and blasphemy against Jesus in support of the illegal and inhumane Israeli occupation of Palestine and Iraq, and their disdain for Blacks and other minorities. .


If the witch-hunt against Arabs and Muslims that began under the Clinton administration with the illegal detention of people like Palestinian activist Dr. Musa Abu Marzook and other Arab and Muslim political activists from Algeria and also Palestine didn’t convince us that our judiciary is neither independent, or just, an 11 year sentence handed down to the Palestinian activist Dr. Abdel Haleem Ashqar November 21st in a federal district courtroom in Chicago Illinois, after he was acquitted by a jury of the charge against him, should leave no doubt in anyone’s mind. In fact it would probably not be an exaggeration to suggest that the Judeo-Christian Zionist movement in the US has successfully taken over the executive branch of the US government, the Congress, and now our judiciary. A temporary state of unfortunate circumstance.

After his confirmation, Mukasey thanked what might be deemed in any other such instance, his co-conspirators, and pledged to wipe out and punish those who have in his words, hurt others with their hatred. This is coded Zionist speech that might mean that Mukasey understands and accepts the assignment, and will act to wipe out all pro-Palestinian activism, criticism of Israel, political dissidence, and opposition to the Judeo-Christian Zionist movement. His job as head of the Department of Justice, which controls not only the courts but also law enforcement in the US, is the perfect instrument to accomplish such a purging. Congress has given him a new thought crimes bill to enforce. The new law, which is set to clear the Senate any day now, is designed to silence anyone who would speak out against their illegal coup, and the Zionist ideologically that is their cause, deeming such dissidents criminal radicals, while criminalizing free speech, and also thinking, all in violation of our US Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Under any other form of government this illegitimate Congress, a Congress that is not representative and that has less than a 19% approval rating, would be dissolved and new elections would be held to seat new, and real representatives of the people. Ironically the Constitution that these Congressional charlatans hate and seek so desperately to destroy is the very law and idea that the people of this country love and are sworn to, and is all that keeps this Congress in power. I imagine that even those who would talk secretly of succession from this illegitimate government’s authority are no doubt held back by love of the union, and the people who have been joined as brothers and sisters, and the citizenry for over 200 years of common struggle to perfect the idea liberty and justice for all people equally, and to protect the soil and property that gave that idea a staging ground for what was deemed the great American experiment.

My fellow Americans, a bleak picture has been painted upon the United States canvass, and the true reflection of the Founder’s of this once great country has been erased. This new image, this ugly and idol god, is a picture not unlike the picture of the Russian Bolsheviks that we so passionately hated, so long ago, yet have embraced with such enthusiasm today. It is a picture of our plotted future, which except for faith in and belief in God might cause most of us to tremble with fear, and to faint, and to give up the struggle inherited from our country’s Founders, and the traditions established by them. It is an inheritance of private property and individual rights, and the courage to stand to the last man and woman, in defense of our Constitution and Bill of Rights, and to demand our inalienable rights, and liberty and justice for all.

The sacrifice of thousands of our children, killed and maimed on foreign shores, used as sacrificial sheep in a geo-political war intended to expand and to strengthen the empire being pursued by these modern day Philistines, afforded with our own tax dollars, is enough cause to resist.

When the people love their government, because it protects their rights and freedoms, and guides them through just laws nearer to God and to their prosperity, God said in the Holy Scripture that He will love that government, and will bless its people and its land. Yet, when a government becomes an enemy to God and His people, seeking to remove their rights and freedoms, a government that hates justice and upholds evil, and immorality, exploiting and oppressing the people, while robbing them of their wealth in disobedience to God and the civil laws of man, God will curse that government, and it will fall.

Now is indeed the time for all good and true American men and women to come to the aide of our country.

Deja Vu in Palestine





In the mid-nineties after Hamas was established and was working as pretty much the sole provider of social and other services in Palestine, the US and Israel decided that to accomplish their final takeover of what remained of Palestine, they must stage a negotiations process. They did not want to culminate years of brutal occupation by adding an even more brutal genocide to the occupation saga. For their taste, the occupation should end through a negotiated land for peace process that would give Israel most of what it wanted, and the Palestinians just enough of what they could get, that no one would complain anymore that Israel had been less than fair with the people whose land they had illegally occupied for so many years. After all, if the Palestinians were willing to compromise, and it could be made to appear that Israel had also compromised, who could argue that anything unjust, or unfair had taken place.

It’s much like the land deals made between the US settlers and the Native Americans. How often were the Native Americans reminded that their leaders had sold much of the land for beads, guns and firewater, and entered into various agreements that ultimately led to the Native American fate, which was genocide and reservations? Who cared if it was absolutely absurd that negotiations between the white settlers and the Native American would even take place? Most Native Americans probably didn’t even understand English well enough to actually negotiate anything of substance, and there is no proof anywhere that a majority of Native Americans ever agreed to turn nearly all of their land and natural resources over to the settlers, and to voluntarily be placed on reservations. Why would they ever agree to such things? We could argue that they had no idea about the gold, the oil, and the value and importance of the natural resources they owned. We might also argue that rights to fish and hunt and to live undisturbed may have been more meaningful to them at the time, than undeveloped land. What we can’t argue, with any amount of logic or legal and moral thinking to support our argument, is that what ever took place was fair, or just.

The suffering of the Native Americans at the hands of their foreign occupiers is legendary. Billion dollars per year gambling casinos cannot compensate for the massacres, the lies, and the dirty tricks. How much would we have to pay or give back to compensate for the extermination of millions of Native Americans the fake negotiated agreements, and coerced and dishonest peace treaties, shady land exchanges and sales of priceless real estate for beads and booze that stain our US story.

The United States has recognized the evils of the European settlers of this land, their special Indian laws, and deals. We have attempted to wash the Native American blood from our hands with money and apologies that have gone a long way towards relieving our national conscience of the horrors, both real and imagined. Unfortunately there is nothing that we can do to heal the hearts and minds of the Native Americans, who are still struggling to regain their since of humanness and value in spite of our overbearing history, and nationalist pride.

The Oslo peace process was nothing more than an attempt to buy Palestinian land with beads and booze. The only differences between what took place in the US, and what was supposed to take place in Palestine are the geographic location and the race of the victims. Yasser Arafat and his Fatah and PLO were nothing more than drunken Indians, who were willing to give away Palestine in exchange for personal power and prestige, and wealth. Shortly after the US and Israel brought the PLO out of exile from Tunisia, it established a security force that was supposed to bring order to the West bank and Gaza. The first job of the security force was to round up and to arrest all Hamas members, since Israel and the US were planning an election for Yasser Arafat, and he was to have no competitors. Welcome to Palestinian democracy!

Following Arafat’s suspect victory at the Palestinian polls, the news media East and West declared him the legitimate representative for the Palestinian people. This charade took us all the way to Camp David where the big lie failed, resulting in a Palestinian uprising that left thousands of Palestinians dead and prospects for peace shattered by the stark realization that the US and Israel could not be trusted. The Palestinian people realized at that moment that it was not the Israelis that had lacked a peace partner, it was the Palestinians. It was also the Palestinians, and not the Israel’s who simultaneously realized that the PA was created to lend democracy to Israel, to be used as part of its political charade that was intended to lend legitimacy to a failed Camp David peace initiative that was intended to wrestle Jerusalem from Arafat, and to pen the Palestinians on refugee camps, dispersed strategically throughout what was historically Palestine. The reservations would have been called Palestine; its capital would have been Abu Dis. There would be no right of return for the Palestinians living in exile throughout the world, and there was no real solution offered for the millions of Palestinian refugees.

Today, God, history, or fate, whichever one we believe is a superior power, has returned us to the past. Again, the Palestinian leadership is separated between Hamas and Fatah, each on different territory. The US and Israel are making the same choices because they are the only choices available to the types of people who are scripting US and Israeli policies in respect to the Middle East. It doesn’t seem to matter that their very limited vision and dishonest and self-serving objectives are hurting an entire world of people in and outside of the Middle East. Biblical myths, the shameless exploitation of human tragedies, murder and mayhem can only get you so far. Israel, the US and now the EU, who has newly joined this gang of thieves in earnest with its publicly declared support of Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah, will one day get the message that reached Arafat at Camp David. That message is that Palestine is not merely a Palestinian issue. The Al-Aqsa mosque, Jerusalem, and the very nature of the gross injustices of this brutal and illegal occupation cause it to be much more than just another episode of European conquest and colonization.

It is the international and universal nature of this dispute, along with the moral questions it gives rise to, and the potential loss of any respect for law that lessen tremendously the likelihood of Israel’s and the Quartet’s success. As for the Arab governments who have played along, knowing what actually awaits the Palestinians should Israel and its supporters succeed, they should understand that their futures are tied to Palestine’s. If Palestine fails, they also fail, since as one tribe falls, so do they all, eventually. Déjà vu only lasts until we realize that we have seen this all before, and then it ends with a choice to change courses, or to continue down the familiar path.


The New York Times writer, Thomas Friedman wrote some days ago that oil had been discovered in Israel, and that this oil is ingenuity and professional; expertise and entrepreneurial zeal. Oil has also been found in Palestine, and it is symbolized as resistance to occupation, a will to live and survive, and a determination and resolve to be free, and to realize long sought after dreams of sovereignty and prosperity. Palestinian oil is fueling a paradigmatic change that can literally change the world, by ending a certain history, while beginning a new future for us all. Part of Palestine’s guiding vision appears to be an end to the era of European conquest and colonization that has drenched the world in innocent blood, and bad karma. It is symbolized as an end to Déjà vu in Palestine, a new path for the Palestinian people, and also the world.

The True American Narrative and Mission


An article that appeared in the American Conservative magazine by Michael Vlahos called "The Fall of Modernity," at http://www.amconmag.com/2007/2007_02_12/feature.html suggests that the US is loosing the war on terrorism, a war that is now admittedly a war against Islam. The author suggests in the article that we are loosing this war because our national narrative, our American story, failed us as a moral guide. He says that this lack of a moral compass turned us into the very evil that we had sworn to destroy.

Vlahos plants the assumption in his article that the neo-conservative narrative is the American narrative. It is clear by his description of the so-called American narrative, that indeed the author decided that the Zionist drivel and lies force fed to the American people over the past century,and most recently by Zionists cloaked as neo-conservatives, is in fact our national narrative. It is not

Neo-conservatism is not the American narrative, it is in fact derived from the Trotsky-ite faction of Soviet Communism, as neo-conservatives would admit themselves. The older neo-conservatives such as Norman Podhoretz and Irving Kristol were "red diaper babies," born into families that believed in a messianic mission to spread Communism globally, starting with teh Soviet Union. Now they have re-branded the same messianic madness from "Soviet Communism" for "American Democracy" but the results are the same. Just as Soviet Communism was a great tragedy for the Slavic peoples, so the rebranded neo-conservative messianic ideology of "spreading American Democracy" is a tragedy for Americans, as evidenced by the the unnecessary and inexplicable deaths of our children in Iraq, the waste and abuse of US taxpayer money in the trillions of dollars, and the fact that the US, once one of the world's most beloved, and charitable nations, is now one of the world's most cruel and hated.

The ideas and actions that led us into this unenviable situation did not result from any real understanding of America's moral mission as described by the great men and women of American history, most notably the revolutionaries and abolitionists, represented by the likes of our first President George Washington who urged Americans to "avoid foreign entanglements", and abolitionists such as Sojourner Truth, and Frederick Douglas. Neither do our Declaration of Independence or Constitution attest to the neo-con world view. The late 18th century was a rough and bloody world, but they saw fit to explicitly outlaw torture as "cruel and unusual punishment," EVEN IN THE CONDUCT OF WAR.

Our failure has resulted from doublespeak utilized by neo-conservatives, whereby the virtuous ideals and language of American liberation and revolution were used to explain immoral Zionist schemes to carry out criminal wars against humanity and peace, and to justify inhumane acts such as torture, motivated by the vanity and lusts of armchair generals. It is the result of the actions of a cowardly Congress that was bribed into silence and that adopted fake religious zealotry and fanaticism as its cause for everything accept humanness, honesty,peace and truthfulness. A Congress that rather than protect our Constitution, sought upon every opportunity to undermine it, and who made their country a pawn. What American could mistaken this as a mission borne of our history, and religious and political culture, which is a culture crafted by puritans,revolutionaries and abolitionists?

We have been deceived, and just as Adam and Eve were forced out of the garden for their disobedience to God resulting from Satan's deceptive lies, so too the US is losing its stature as one of the world's modern paradises, and for the same reasons. The author of the article is right in this respect. We have lost the war on terrorism because it is not our moral mission to destroy other faiths and cultures. It is not our moral mission to torture people, to starve innocents, demolish their homes, kill and massacre people and assist others in doing so to help them steal land they have no moral, or legal right to. We starved more than 500,000 Iraqi children to death prior to 9/11, claiming that it was to overthrow one man, our former ally Saddam Hussein, and then Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright infamously admitted, "It was worth it." Did we think that God would reward us for that because they were not Jewish, or Christian, or because they were Arabs? We gave Israel money and weapons to kill unarmed refugees, innocent women and children, and to tear down their homes because these people dared to fight back for their survival against a cruel and inhumane and illegal occupation. We called them terrorists, and passed laws to justify killing them through wars, and deprivation of medical care and food, and hope, and now that we feel we have broken them, we are eager to begin negotiations with them. We claim intolerance for racism, while we are complicit in the murder of millions of Arabs and other brown people, who are being killed. We say they want to destroy us because they hate who we are, and our way of life, when the exact opposite is true.

The United States, by most accounts is a primarily Christian country in character and not a Judeo/Christian country. This Christian character does not result from our Christian practices, which are now sadly non-apparent. The US Christian character is a by product of the moral concepts that guided our sensitivities and thereby the promulgation of a civil and positivist law, that while not religious, incorporates to a great degree the moral concepts and teachings of the Bible. The new testament of the Bible is the true American narrative, yet like most things that are non-Jewish, the New testament has been abandoned by the Church because Jews complained that it is "anti-Semitic." To remedy this problem, there are now renditions of the Holy Scriptures suggesting that Judas was a gnostic operating according to a secret suicidal pact with Jesus, wherein Jesus would be killed, and raised into heaven, and Judas rewarded for the role he played as traitor, with a promise that his people would rule the world. Any familiar themes apparent here?

The lie, that the US is a "Judeo/Christian" country, is a lie that was cooked up to present the Jewish law, or rather the Talmud as a legitimate authority in the US, to be imposed here,and subsequently upon the entire world, as a reward to the people of Judas for his great treason, recast as a great sacrifice. The pseudo Christians who have promoted this lie, say that Christian Gentiles are actually "New Jews" who are bound by the Old Covenant, as well as the New Covenant through Jesus. The Old Covenant was based upon sacrifice as atonement for sin, while the New Testament says that it is by God's Grace that mankind is saved. They explain the crucifixion of Jesus as an act of suicide, wherein the Jews and Romans were passive participants, catapulted into their roles by Jesus' stubborn insistence to preach the word of God, disobeying the Jews who had cautioned Jesus to stop violating their laws, and criticising their leaders for their sins, and transgressions and hypocrisy. Now the media trys to convince us that the Christian Zionist church is guiding America. They want us to believe that in fact the Zionist narrative is the American narrative. It is not, and Christian Zionists are not guiding America, they are following the Jewish Zionist neo-conservatives, who are destroying America.

The Biblical narrative is a powerful story of God's mercy, and God's love for all of humanity as taught by Jesus. It is a narrative that suggests to us that the moral American mission is to convey the good news of God's promise of forgiveness of sins, prosperity in this life, and eternal life in His presence for those who refuse to worship the world, and instead worship the God who created it. America, one of the richest, most powerful nations in the world, was to feed the world, and cure its diseases. We were to inspire and uplift the world, and lead, not bully and dominate and dictate to the world. We were to be just, and stand for justice, and not be blind, but seeing right from wrong. That is the meaning of being guided from darkness to light. Justice cannot be blind and be just! We were to build, not destroy, and we were to love and not hate. We were to be peacemakers, and not warmongers, murderers of innocents, and torturers. We were not to undermine God's righteous order by empowering the evil and wicked, and tormenting and persecuting the truth tellers, and the people of faith, the poor, and the weak. Instead of undertaking America's moral mission, we undertook the mission of Satan. We joined his synagogue and became devils, and as a result God has forsaken us, and caused us to be humiliated, and defeated. The Talmud is not the American narrative, and the neo-conservatives are not the prophets of this or any other era.

"And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge,God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not right; being filled with all unrighteousness,fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder,debate,deceit,malignity;whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, spiteful, proud, boasters,inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable and unmerciful, who knowing the judgement of God, and that they who commit such things are worthy of punishment, not only do the same, but have pleasure in those who do such such acts. Therefore, thou art inexcusable, Oh man, whosoever thou art that judges, for wherein thou judges another, thou condemns thyself, for thou that stands as judge is doing the same crime. Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that does evil, of the Jew first, and also the Gentile...for there is no respect of person with God" (Romans 1:24-32, and 2:1-29).
