COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Israel and Saudi Arabia colluding to Attack Iran and throw the World into an economic catastrophe

Israel working with Saudi Arabia on Iran’s nuclear contingency plan - report

Israel’s Mossad, along with Saudi officials, is working on contingency plans that could include an attack on Iran if its nuclear program is not curbed enough during the negotiations in Geneva this week, a new report has revealed.
Both powers have expressed concern that restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program will not be enough. According to The Sunday Times newspaper, Saudi Arabia already gave Israel the green light to use its airspace in the case of an attack on Iran.
It was also revealed that the Saudis were willing to assist an Israeli attack by cooperating with the use of drones, rescue helicopters, and tanker planes. “Once the Geneva agreement is signed, the military option will be back on the table. The Saudis are furious and are willing to give Israel all the help it needs,” an unnamed diplomatic source told the paper.
Tehran has been negotiating sanction relief in Geneva with the P5+1 countries - consisting of the US, Britain, France, Germany, Russia, and China - in exchange for assurances that it will not develop a nuclear weapon. Exact terms on offer from both sides have not been made public, but no agreement was made last weekend. The sides will sit down for a new round of talks on November 20.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that lifting sanctions on Iran without demanding sufficient concessions in return will only encourage Tehran on its path to nuclear armament and lead to future conflict.
Israel has been lobbying hard against appeasement, with Netanyahu himself claiming that Iran is about to clinch “the deal of the century.”
On Saturday, Netanyahu spoke to French daily Le Figaro about the situation, stating that Israel and the “leading states in the Arab world” agree when it comes to Tehran and its nuclear capabilities.
“We all think that Iran should not be allowed to have the capacities to make nuclear weapons,” he said. “We all think that a tougher stance should be taken by the international community. We all believe that if Iran were to have nuclear weapons, this could lead to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East, making the Middle East a nuclear tinderbox.”
The prime minister’s comments were made just before French President Francois Hollande was scheduled to arrive in Israel for talks on Iran on Sunday. French objections reportedly caused an obstacle in the Iran talks last weekend. 
An attack would be an ‘economic catastrophe’
Iranian political analyst Seyed Mohammad Marandi told RT that an imminent joint attack on Iran was unlikely given the serious ramifications it could provoke for the region.
“It is highly unlikely that the Saudis and Israelis would want to attack Iran because at the end of the day both countries would be losers, they would be seen as aggressors and obviously the Iranians would retaliate,” Marandi told RT.
Although he consented that the Saudis and Israelis have been moving closer together lately, neither of them stood to gain from attacking Iran.

“It would create an economic catastrophe for the world and only the Saudis and the Israelis would be to blame,” said Marandi.

    The US working and middle class will face financial ruin and every Islamic nutjob will be out in force for revenge.

    Americans will be killed and maimed.

    Terrorism will be increased,

    1. Iran, on a reckless plan to get a nuclear bomb, threaten nations with genocide, will be who will be at fault it they cause the very nations they threaten to defang them BEFORE Iran can genocide them.

      It's reality simple. Iran, has not stopped, in 50 years, from trying to destroy several nations.

      Those nations, including Israel, will not sit by idly while Iran arms it's self with nuclear weapons and will stop it.

      It's a shame that the cowards of the world will not see that the BULLY, Iran, is the reason for the season.

  7. From Haaretz:

    The planned construction of an ultra-Orthodox education complex authorized by the Jerusalem city council last week is sparking concerns of an increasingly tight Haredi hold on two of the city's northern neighborhoods.

    Secular residents of northern Jerusalem have expressed concern that the three Haredi schools and about 10 preschools due to be built in Ramat Eshkol will further entrench the extensive ultra-Orthodox character of the neighborhood. They also said the schools could draw more Haredim to nearby French Hill.

    "The establishment of a Haredi education complex will effectively clinch an ultra-Orthodox takeover in northern Jerusalem," Yossi Havilio, an attorney representing Jerusalem residents campaigning against the construction, wrote to Mayor Nir Barkat. "It will bring about a situation in which the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on Mount Scopus will be the only secular institution in the region."

    Municipal officials said the schools, which were approved at a tempestuous city council meeting Thursday, are necessary because of a dire shortage of suitable classrooms for ultra-Orthodox children, who typically attend separate Haredi schools.

    Barkat's office said Ramat Eshkol will also be the site of a new branch of a college expected to attract thousands of students to its dormitories, thereby serving as a counterweight to the Haredi schools. The Ramat Eshkol campus of the Lander Institute-Jerusalem Academic Center will be built before the Haredi school complex, and the Lander campus will be four times the size, municipal officials said.

    "Some 4,000 students who come to the neighborhood to attend the Lander Institute will constitute a pluralistic anchor that attracts many young people and strengthens the neighborhood," the municipality said in a statement. "Establishing a Zionist anchor in Ramat Eshkol is part of a series of efforts undertaken by the municipality to strengthen the Zionist population in the city's northern areas."

    The Lander Institute currently operates a branch in Jerusalem that attracts many Haredim, but it has said its Ramat Eshkol campus will be pluralistic.

      This is not a long term problem; in a show of trust remove a section of the wall for the sake of pluralism. Within 60 days the schools will be reduced to rubble. If the human bombs get really lucky, they may take out a bunch of "European" Ashkenazi. With enough death and destruction, with deep regret the wall will be replaced.

      Home Demolitions: By the Numbers

      Since 1967, Israel has destroyed approximately 27,000 Palestinian structures in the occupied territories (the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip), including more than 24,000 homes, according to ICAHD.
      Since the renewal of negotiations in August 2013, Israel has destroyed approximately 25 Palestinian homes, in addition to dozens of other structures, leaving approximately 200 people homeless.

      According to the UN, between January and September 2013, 862 Palestinians were displaced by Israeli demolitions, compared to 886 (including 468 children) in all of 2012.

      In 2012, a total of 600 Palestinian structures were demolished by Israel in the occupied territories, including at least 189 homes, according to ICAHD. This figure doesn’t include “self-demolitions” whereby Palestinians destroy their own homes rather than have Israel do it and charge them an additional fine.


      One Bedouin village, Al-Araqib, in the Negev desert in the south of Israel, has been destroyed more than 50 times by Israel since July 2010.

      Between 2005 and 2012, Israel demolished approximately 1500 Palestinian homes due to owners lacking hard-to-obtain construction permits.

      Between 1993 and 2000, when the Oslo Accords were being negotiated between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, Israel destroyed almost 1700 Palestinian homes in the occupied territories.

      Immediately following Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza in 1967, approximately 6000 Palestinian homes were demolished, including four entire villages in the Latrun area, along with dozens of homes in the Mughrabi Quarter of Jerusalem’s Old City, which were destroyed to make way for a plaza for the Western Wall. In 1971, between 2000 and 6000 Palestinian homes were destroyed in Gaza in an effort to pacify the newly occupied territory.

      During Israel’s creation (1948-49), Zionist and then Israeli forces expelled approximately 750,000 Palestinian Arabs from their ancestral lands in order to create a Jewish majority state of Israel. In the process, more than 400 Palestinian population centers were systematically destroyed, including thousands of homes, businesses, and houses of worship.

It is true that the goofiness of Jewish fanatics makes the news, but the vast majority of Jews are secular and do not want a war with anyone.They do want Hamas and Fatah to agree to Israel's perpetual right of existence. With that assurance and the satisfaction of several reasonable security concerns, the PA can get on with its business, whatever that may be besides extortion.

      Over the years, Israel, the US, China, Russia, and the French have offered gratis nuclear power plants for the generation of electricity. The Iranians have refused; they will have nothing short of weapons grade material. While there country is impoverished, Iranian governments have spent about $167 Billion to realize their dream: the destruction of the Jewish homeland.

      So, if religion has any role to play, it is the same rotten one that is causing misery to innocent people across the globe. Why, even the Chinese were hit hard yesterday.

    6. (Reuters) - A new school year begins on Monday for about 134,000 Philadelphia students even though the school district - one of the largest in the United States - has no guarantees on how the city and state will deliver nearly $100 million it needs to keep operating.

      Mayor Michael Nutter and the city council remain at odds over his proposal for the city to borrow $50 million from capital markets and loan the proceeds to the district.

      Based on the promise of that cash influx, the embattled district rehired about 1,000 teachers and staffers laid off at the end of the last school term.

      The city council meets on Thursday to take up the issue, with both sides vowing to bridge their differences.

      The school district is also counting on a $45 million state grant that Governor Tom Corbett's administration won't release unless unionized teachers make concessions in a new labor pact. Their old contract expired on August 31, and talks are under way.

      Even if both pieces of financial help arrive soon, they would only put a bandage on a long-festering budget shortfall for the district that serves the fifth-largest city in the United States.

      The city of 1.5 million residents faces its own looming crisis in funding pensions for police, firefighters and municipal workers, a situation that could limit options for putting the school district on firmer footing.

      "What's happening in Philadelphia is the worst example of what's taking place in districts across the state," said Sharon Ward, executive director of the left-leaning Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center (PBPC).

      Across Pennsylvania and the nation, public schools in many big cities have long been in decline as more affluent residents send their children to private schools or move to suburban school districts.

      In a letter to a group that helps women carry their babies to term, the rabbis cite ‘the extreme seriousness involved in killing fetuses, which is like actual murder.’


      The honor came on the heels of the release of a letter by Israel’s two chief rabbis, who credited Efrat for saving the lives of more than 54,000 unborn children.

      An estimated 20,000 pregnancies are aborted legally every year in Israel, according to Efrat.

      In their letter, the chief rabbis said they found “great importance” in Efrat’s work “in saving the lives of Jewish children.”


      During the 35 years it has been operating, they said, “tens of thousands of fetuses were saved.”

      In the past year alone, the rabbis wrote, Efrat saved 4,000 lives.

      The organization was founded by a Holocaust survivor whose mission was to rebuild the Jewish population after 6 million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust.

      The tone of the chief rabbis’ letter was much more hard-hitting this year than last, when they praised the organization for trying to “encourage births” and “prevent unnecessary abortion.”

      This is the third straight year the Office of the Chief Rabbinate — which has sole authority over matters related to Jewish law and practice in Israel — has praised Efrat during the week Jews around the world recite the “Exodus” portion of the Old Testament in synagogues.

    24. Around 20,000 women apply for state-funded abortions and in 98 per cent of cases receive the necessary green light from a panel of doctors and social workers who consider their request. Common reasons given by the women include that they are unmarried, deem themselves too young or old to have a baby, or have evidence that their baby will have a physical or mental defect.

      The Chief Rabbis and their sympathisers claim that the most common reason is actually economic and women just tell panels what they want to hear.

      In addition to the legal abortions, both sides of the debate estimate that 30,000 women a year circumvent the panel and pay a doctor privately to terminate their pregnancy.

      By the quirk, your assertion that aipac stands for "shaking down the US government for cash" is ignorant.

      Actually, I never said that. What I have said about AIPAC is that it should register as the agent of a foreign government. The reasons are simple.

      - I have visited the AIPAC website on a number of occasions. The first thing that hits you is a banner showing the US flag buried between and below two more prominent Israeli flags.

      - We see the articles that come out on a regular basis showing AIPAC pushing the current Israeli government's agenda with Congress whether it is pushing for funds or for war.

      - There are no articles at the site about Jewish issues in Israel or Jewish issues in America. It's all about pushing the foreign policy agenda of the current right-wing government in Israel.

      - There is also the aim of AIPAC there stated as encouraging Americans to 'engage and build relationships' with their representatives in Congress to promote the 'Israel-American relationship' which judging from the articles posted there amount to nothing more than pushing the Israeli agenda. Even Bibi recognizes AIPAC's influence on US policy and given the American public's general affinity for Israel cynically contends he has us in his pocket.

      - As for the money aspect, the MSM is filled with stories of the money being siphoned off to Israel.

      America’s Longest War…Likely to Get Longer

      U.S. and Afghanistan agree on draft pact allowing U.S. troops to remain


      hat means the U.S. war in Afghanistan will probably slip beyond the 4,834 days (13 years, 2 months, 25 days) between Oct. 7, 2001, when the U.S. invaded, and Dec. 31, 2014, when all U.S. combat troops are due to leave. Those likely to be left behind will be there largely to train Afghan troops, hunt down and kill terrorists, and be targets for those same terrorists. That makes the U.S. war in Afghanistan more than three times the duration of its 1,346-day (3 years, 8 months, 7 days) participation in World War II.

      But Iraq, increasingly slipping toward civil war, should offer Americans a cautionary tale about U.S. troops rushing for the exits from a war-torn country they created.

      It’s tough for a war-weary American public to concede, but the costs paid in American blood (2,193 killed) and treasure ($700 billion) could well be spilled in vain if there isn’t some continuing U.S. presence in Afghanistan to keep al Qaeda and the Taliban in check. It also could give a shaky and corrupt Afghan central government, under a new president (Karzai is barred from seeking a third term), enough time to mature and send extremists packing.

      The Afghan security force is nearing its goal of 352,000 troops and police, and has acquitted itself well during this year’s fighting season.

  18. How Anonymous Picks Targets, Launches Attacks, and Takes Powerful Organizations Down
    By Quinn Norton

    No one but Hector Xavier Monsegur can know why or when he became Sabu, joining the strange and chaotic Internet collective known as Anonymous. But we know the moment he gave Sabu up. On June 7, 2011, federal agents came to his apartment on New York’s Lower East Side and threatened the 28-year-old with an array of charges that could add up to 124 years in prison. So Hector Monsegur, who as Sabu had become a mentor and icon to fellow members of Anonymous, surrendered his online identity to a new, equally faceless and secretive master: the FBI.

    For the next eight months, Sabu continued to rage across the Internet as a core member of AntiSec, a blackhat hacking group within Anonymous.

    He helped to deface government and corporate websites and even helped bring down the private intelligence firm Stratfor—all, apparently, with the FBI’s blessing as it quietly gathered logs on Monsegur’s fellow “anons.”


    Law enforcement officials later told Fox News that Monsegur was working out of the FBI offices “almost daily” in the weeks after he pleaded guilty in August and then from his own home thereafter, with an agent watching his activity 24 hours a day.

    Sometimes agents were even posing as Sabu directly.


    On Christmas, just after the Stratfor hack, Sabu and I happened to be logged into the same channel on IRC,
    the chatting protocol that serves as the medium through which most Anonymous members planned large-scale operations.
    I asked the AntiSec members if they were worried about a law enforcement response to Stratfor.

    Sabu shot back:

    we’re used to that heat

    we survived the first rounds of the raids


    He was referring to a series of arrests that past summer that had scooped up, worldwide, at least 80 alleged participants in the group.
    At the time, it was hard to fault his reasoning,
    since those arrests seemed to have done nothing to slow the group’s terrifying onslaught in 2011.

    It was a year in which Anonymous burst into the geopolitical consciousness of the world,
    assisting Arab Spring activists and attacking the security industry,
    bedeviling law enforcement and intelligence agencies, carrying out countless hacks against Sony and other large corporations.

    As protest movements spread to the West, Anonymous provided them with crucial logistics
    (not to mention a great deal of media attention),
    from the BART protests in San Francisco to the Occupy actions across the US and overseas.

    Anonymous had figured out how to infiltrate anything, how to mobilize not just machines but physical bodies, all around the globe.

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — Talks between Iran and a group of six Western nations aimed at freezing Iran’s nuclear program are scheduled to resume on November 20th in Geneva. A first round of talks broke down after the so-called P5+1 and Iran failed to agree on a short-term deal that would have eased sanctions on Iran and allowed it to continue low-level enrichment. The US says any eventual deal struck with Iran will be "failsafe" and will guarantee that Iran has no nuclear weapons capability.

    Analysts say two issues scuttled the talks; Iran claims it has the right to enrich uranium and wants this acknowledged in writing, and France demands that Iran stop construction on a heavy water reactor at Arak. Meanwhile, observers say “frenemies” Israel and Saudi Arabia are campaigning behind the scenes to make sure Iran’s nuclear program never goes military.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin has been vocal against what he calls "a very bad deal."

    “This is a country that is participating as we speak in the mass slaughter of men, women, children, tens of thousands of them in Syria,” he told America’s CBS News recently.

    Israeli television reported that a French lawmaker -- and good friend of Netanyahu -- phoned the French Foreign Minister during the Geneva talks, warning him that Netanyahu would attack Iran’s nuclear facilities if the P5+1 nations didn’t push tougher conditions on Iran.

    IGOR BOBIC – SEPTEMBER 3, 2013, 5:06 PM EDT405
    AIPAC, an influential lobbying group that advocates pro-Israel policies in the United States, issued a statement Tuesday urging members of Congress to approve President Barack Obama's military strike on Syria.

    Full statement below:

    AIPAC urges Congress to grant the President the authority he has requested to protect America’s national security interests and dissuade the Syrian regime's further use of unconventional weapons. The civilized world cannot tolerate the use of these barbaric weapons, particularly against an innocent civilian population including hundreds of children. Simply put, barbarism on a mass scale must not be given a free pass. This is a critical moment when America must also send a forceful message of resolve to Iran and Hezbollah -- both of whom have provided direct and extensive military support to Assad. The Syrian regime and its Iranian ally have repeatedly demonstrated that they will not respect civilized norms. That is why America must act, and why we must prevent further proliferation of unconventional weapons in this region.

  26. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised French President Francois Hollande's “courageous stance” against Iran on Sunday, an indirect jab at President Obama's push for diplomatic talks.

    A ’true friend”

    Netanyahu called France a “true friend” of Israel as he greeted Hollande on his first official trip to the country. France demanded last week that a preliminary deal on Iran's nuclear program be toughened, causing it to be rejected by Iran.
    “Zionism was influenced by the values of the French Revolution," Netanyahu told Hollande, according to Haaretz. “Israel sees France as a true friend. France, like Israel, aspires for a stable Middle East that lives in peace and security.”

    He told members of his Cabinet that he hoped Hollande's visit could stiffen the resolve of other countries negotiating with Iran. Talks with Iran are being led by the permanent members of the Security Council – the U.S., France, Great Britain, China and Russia – plus Germany.

    “This visit is important ... in light of the talks that are being held in Geneva on the Iranian nuclear issue,” Netanyahu said, according to Haaretz. “I hope that we will succeed in convincing our friends this week, and the days after, to reach a much better deal.”

    Israel's warm embrace of the French leader contrasts sharply with Israel's intense lobbying on Capitol Hill to get the Senate to pass tough new sanctions on Iran's energy sector. The campaign has put Netanyahu squarely at odds with the White House, which wants to be able to loosen sanctions and has said that reinforcing them now could undercut diplomacy and lead to war.

  30. Indeed, France is now trying to decide whether to join the Israeli-Saudi opposition to the Obama administration’s half-baked efforts at détente with Iran.

    French President Francois Hollande and Foreign Minister Laurent, who branded the deal originally offered to Iran a “sucker’s deal,” are in Israel this week to discuss possible alternative options in dealing with Iran. This follows a number of meetings between French and Saudi Arabian officials, including a visit by French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian to Saudi Arabia to discuss a new defense contract.



    Debkafile ran a headline on November 16th: “Hollande and Netanyahu to consider forming a joint French-Israeli-Arab front against Iran.” The article reported on the option being offered to France of “aligning with the Middle East powers – Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt – which challenge President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry’s race for détente with Tehran.” If Hollande accepts the option, Debkafile explained, “the next decision facing President Hollande will be whether, how and when this grouping is willing to consider resorting to military action to preempt a nuclear-armed Iran.”

    So far, France still gives no indication that it will meekly follow the Obama administration’s lead, no matter what the terms of the deal. During a joint news conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Hollande listed four demands which he said must be in place for any interim deal with Iran to work:

    “The first demand: put all the Iranian nuclear installations under international supervision, right now. Second point: suspend enrichment to 20 percent. Thirdly: to reduce the existing stock. And finally, to halt construction of the Arak (heavy water) plant. These are the points which for us are essential to guarantee any agreement.”

      And then, beyond that circle, there must be a deeper one – deeper and more imaginatively punitive – for rapists and accused rapists and would-be rapists who, when their history is dredged up years later, drape themselves in a victim’s robes, whine about their oppression, and claim that everyone else is lying.

  31. If you all have complaints, take them up with Mr. Obama. When Israel and Saudi Arabia et al are working a plan to attack Iran, someone in the administration made one bad promise too many. Obama is not only distrusted, he is detested.

    I suppose Mr. Obama and bloggers here could be right: Iran is no big deal. It does seem odd, however, that with the exception of Syria, Iran's neighbors are not so sanguine.

    What will be the attitude here if Saudi Arabia and Israel succeed militarily? I am certain there will be some new high crime du jour. Of this I am certain, if they do take down Iran, all the old colonial baggage will disappear.

      The issue is not abortion, Mr allen.

      The anti-Semitic behavior and actions of that secular government, they are just an abomination!

      The threat to greatest threat to Judaism, in Israel, emanates from the secularists in the Israeli government, not the sands of Iran.
      The Iranians have a large and vibrant Jewish Community, tens of thousands of Jews are living well, in Iran.

  36. Hollande and Netanyahu get together; France vows to stay strong on Iranian nuke deal
    POSTED AT 12:21 PM ON NOVEMBER 18, 2013 BY ERIKA JOHNSEN


    French President Francois Hollande began a three-day visit to Israel over the weekend, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was all smiles and full of praise for the French delegation that was apparently the last holdout in thwarting a “bad deal” that would have traded sanctions relief for some all-but-meaningless nuclear concessions from the Iranians:

    Hollande vowed to keep up pressure on Iran and not make any concessions regarding nuclear proliferation. …

    Speaking alongside Hollande, Netanyahu once again warned that Iran could soon have enough fissile material to develop a bomb within weeks and that Israel would not be bound to what he called a “bad deal.” At the same time, he thanked Hollande for leading a tough stance that has blocked a deal thus far. …

    Netanyahu has tried to play down his differences with the Obama administration as a disagreement between the “best of friends,” but he went out of his way to charm Hollande — peppering his remarks with French and embracing him often. …

    “Israel sees in France a true friend,” Netanyahu said at the ceremony. …

    “The goal is that Iran renounces nuclear weapons forever,” he said Sunday. “We are against nuclear proliferation, and in Iran there has been a will — even once expressed — to enrich uranium to military capabilities.”

    But whether or not France will stick to their guns when push comes to shove, however, is anybody’s guess. The Israelis are all too aware of the White House’s practically unbridled ambition to play the role of peacemaking power brokers and finally administer some kind (any kind) of deal with the Iranians, and the Obama administration will definitely be applying the pressure when negotiations pick up again this Wednesday. Hollande’s help might be Netanyahu’s last, best chance to stay what he insists is a terrible deal, as he explained on CNN this morning: If some of the sanctions are reduced but Iran decides not to follow through on their end of the deal, reimplementing the sanctions is no easily reversible feat.

      France and Saudi Arabia both have agendas.

      Hollande has only been in office a little over a year and yet recent polls show 80% of the French expect Holland to lose the next French election. He has every reason the try to stick it to the US (always a popular pastime in France). He also has commercial interests with Saudi Arabia and Israel. He would love to expand France's influence in the ME from its current nil position.

      Saudi Arabia wants to become the regional Hegemon in the area and other than Qatar, Iran is the only thing standing in her way. The sectarian strife between the Sunni Sa and the Shia Iran merely adds fuel to the fire.

      All that being said< I doubt there is much to the story. Saudi Arabia supporting Israel against another Muslim country even if it is Shia? Find it kind of hard to believe unless it money under the table and access to air space.

      France? I doubt Hollande will hold out for long; however, who knows. He is a sinking ship right now in France. Maybe he will do something desperate.

The pants I was wearing had buttons up the front rather than a zipper. After a couple hours pretending to ski we finished and I went to take a piss. I look down and my dick and balls had turned blue. My first thought was that I probably had frostbite and that I would lose my junk.

    Quirk, is CAIR registered as a rep of a foreign government?

    Don't really know, but they sit around the White House a LOT.

    If they are not, should they be? Why and why not.


    What differenciates this group from AIPAC?


    What government are they supposed to be representing in that silly little mind of yours?

    As to why they should not register as the agent of a foreign government, look at question 1 and then go visit their website rather than reading about it on American Thinker.

    Differences between CAIR and AIPAC (I assume you are asking the question relative to the question of who should be registering as an agent of a foreign government).

    Again look at the two websites and how they describe their goals.

    - On the CAIR website, the first picture you see is a picture from CAIR-FL showing CAIR organizing Muslim veterans for the Miami Veteran's Day parade. On the AIPAC site, you see a couple of Israeli flags dwarfing an American flag.

    - Above you will see posted their legislative fact sheet. Theirs is about Muslim American issues. AIPAC's is about Israel's issues.

    - You state that CAIR wouldn't state their real intentions on their website. Possibly true. However, the people at AIPAC are so arrogant they think nothing of posting theirs which is the same as the current government of Israel.



    Whatever the dreaded AIPAC is one thing they aren't is really effective.

    You say you are an AIPAC member but evidently you don't even check out the website. One of the biggest stories mentioned is that at their annual policy conference the got 2/3 of Congress to attend along with most of their staff. As for the other issues, don't you read the papers or are you too fixated on American Thinker and JihadWatch?

    Lord, you are as dumb as a stump.

  40. If we look at the Yinon Plan, then look at the actions of Mr Obama, it is hard to say he is not on board with it.

    In Iraq, the US withdrew, totally, leaving the factions to fend for themselves amongst themselves, with no arbitrator.
    Kurdistan is a viable entity in Iraq and may soon merge in spirit if not fact with the Syrian Kurds.
    The Shia and Sunni have much better lines of demarcation now, than when Saddam ran the show.
    Per the Yinon Plan
    Libya is totally factionalized, by tribal alliances.
    Sudan, split north/south.
    Syria ... speaks for itself.
    Jordon is being stressed, by the Syrian and Iraqi conflicts.
    Lebanon is factionalized, with US subsidies to the elected government.
    Turkey, beset by Kurdistan in Syria and Iraq, a million Syrians have taken up residence in Turkey.

    Iran under dire stress from the sanction regime that the US has imposed.

    Mr Obama is still right on course.
    The Neo-Con Plan was never to "Democratize" those countries, it was to destabilize them.

    That is why Mr Obama supported the early elections in Egypt.
    Gave those Kabuki style speeches, waxing eloquent and in glowing terms about the results.

    Then after a year, the US Security Partner, using Mr Kerry's phraseology, arrested the newly elected President,
    disbanded the government and created a free fire zone in parts of the Sinai.

    If the Yinon Plan is the blueprint, the way forward for Israel.

    Then they have no better friend than Barack Obama.

    1. Can't find a video of the event yet on UTube but it is a close legal call as to whether it is an assault or not. He moved across the entire room to get there, and his hand is definitely on her, but he also sorta catches her and leaves immediately. "Flattens' is too severe a word. He did bump, or something, her. If a video comes up will post it.

  42. Let Netanyahu and the Saudi king fight their own wars. It doesn’t much matter in this case what Israel, Jewish lobbyists, or any of the Neocons (take your pick) want. Following what turned out to be the absolute pointlessness of our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan (wars I initially supported), Americans have zero appetite for military involvement, particularly in the Middle East, that isn't explicitly and unquestionably for the purpose of self-defense. Let's not forget the key role Americans played in stopping Obama's insane plan to intervene militarily in Syria. Imagine the reaction if he attempted to do the same in Iran, unless he could prove -- as opposed to merely contend, no matter how solemnly -- that national security (of the United States, not of Israel) was very much at stake.

  43. Israel and Saudi Arabia have devoted extensive efforts to hampering a potential agreement between Iran and six major world powers over issues surrounding Tehran’s nuclear energy program. It will be a sight to behold watching Netanyahu eat shit.

  44. It is a judgement call as to whether and at what point the direct national security of the USA may be at stake.

    This is what the argument is all about.

    Israel's security, as well as that of Saudi Arabia and Europe, seems more directly threatened, but perhaps that is a false perception.

    And we do have an interest in the security of Israel and Europe. (despite Obama)

    "Death To America", they continually say.

    'Tehran's nuclear energy program' -- heh heh, you jest

    Sleep tight, Obama's not going to do a thing, you are not doomed.

    1. " It will be a sight to behold watching Netanyahu eat shit."

      This is direct, but very unbecoming from such a thoughtful woman as yourself.

      Most Ladies would be repelled by the sight of any human being doing such a thing.

  45. We cannot banish dangers, but we can banish fears.
    We must not demean life by standing in awe of death.

    1. Sometimes when people give advice they really are trying to help.

      Six here have identified you as having mental problems.

      All must think you need help. Many have said so.

      IIRC, even WiO says you are not doomed yet, though perhaps deserved to be so.

      We have your best interests at heart. Repeat that to yourself constantly.

      Repeat to yourself: 'They are concerned about my mental health" like a mantra.

  46. Saw the video again on Fox. The Mayor of Toronto does indeed seem to push the woman down. And he crossed the whole room to do so.

    Hope charges are filed, and she sues him too.

    4. Assuming you actually took her to the maternity ward, of course. Perhaps to save money you did not, and she just "dropped the kid", in your wonderful phrase, on the living room floor, or in the bed of the pickup truck, and then she fled to Salvador.

  47. In Washington, Ill., Janni Johnson picked through the rubble of her home with her husband, Tony, late in the afternoon Monday. They gathered a few coats, one of their two children's backpacks and shoes.

    They were looking for valuables in the basement but knew they could only bring what they could carry out with them, so they were packing up suitcases and backpacks.

    "I'm just grateful to be alive," said Ms. Johnson, who road out the storm in her basement with her family while a tornado passed over their home, where they have lived for nearly a decade. "We threw a beanbag chair over our heads, and I screamed for everyone to huddle together."

  50. Here's an article that argues Iran can, probably, be contained -

    Advice From Kennedy

    http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-11-17/kennedy-showed-how-to-contain-iran.html

    Seems to argue at times that all we might need is a "Hot Line"

    But also argues that we can hopefully count on the rationality of the mullahs.

    Intuitively these points seem somehow at odds. If things get to the point where you need a hotline.....

    I doubt the Israelis will buy the arguments presented in this article.
