John Mearsheimer Speaks on Israel Lobby
Apr. 8, 2008 | By Jake Robert Nelson, DSJ Opinions Editor
John Mearsheimer, commonly seen as one of the foremost thinkers in modern international
relations theory, presented on Monday a lecture entitled “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Middle East
Policy" to a packed University Center Commonwealth Auditorium.
In the lecture, which coincided with the recently published and controversial book of the same
name written by Mearsheimer and fellow IR theorist Stephen Walt, Mearsheimer discussed the
considerable influence exerted by the Israel Lobby on American foreign policy.
The Anti-Defamation League, an interest group devoted to the cessation of anti-Semitism, said
in a 2007 press release, “Jew hatred lives on in speeches by Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad [and] in the writings of the professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt.”
Mike Tierney and Sue Peterson, directors of the College’s Institute for the Theory and Practice
of International Relations (TRIP), the group that brought Mearsheimer to campus, introduced the
speaker. Mearsheimer was described as a “public intellectual,” who was not only a theorist but
also a New York Times bestselling author with accessible publications in journals like The
Atlantic Monthly.

What is funny is that Americans think they can speak English and they
even judge others.
The link below is for an email from Yang - one of the most senior
Executives in the USA.
http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9935633-7.html
Either CNET has published a fake email, or Yahoo! is in real trouble.
I doubt if Americans can spot the countless English errors in Yang's
email. The Yang email looks like it was written by someone at High
School struggling with English and business.
Due to Yang's terrible judgement in turning down Microsoft, investors
will be after his skin for costing them billions.
http://www.news.com/8301-13953_3-9935650-80.html
After the stock takes a hit, Yahoo! will be sold for a third of
today's price. Another American business decision which will cost
billions driving the USA further into a hole.
So my message to Americans - never comment about the English of others
and never comment about business.

Bush-Cheney Israel Disinformation Campaign to Justify an Attack on Iran
By William H. White
Global Research, May 2, 2008
Campaign's Overall Design and Objectives
The Bush administration and Israeli government appear to be operating a joint disinformation
campaign, whose objective is to establish a media based alternative reality from which to
accuse Syria/Iran of developing nuclear weapons with help from North Korea, by using a real
event combined with planted stories establishing a defining narrative. This accusation in turn
is augmented with stories about Iranian sponsored "Special Groups killing US troops in Iraq"
and purported naval incidents the Persian Gulf, creating self-reinforcing, media based crisis.
The immediate purpose of this disinformation campaign is apparently to help justify the planned
US attack on a wide range of Iranian industrial and military targets. And, as in the Israeli
attacks on Lebanon, the objective is to swiftly inflict substantial damage to the national
infrastructure of Iran, followed by an abrupt cessation of attacks and a call for a cease-fire
to prevent substantial Iranian retaliation. Again, as in the Israeli attacks on Lebanon, the
US likely will resist calls for a cessation of the attacks until a significant portion of the
Iranian target set has been addressed, then it will accept calls for a cease-fire and demand
Iran do the same.

From the Los Angeles Times
How neo are the neocons ?
Promoting democracy throughout the world has been a driving force in U.S. politics since the
country's earliest days.
Jonah Goldberg
April 22, 2008
In the play "Embedded," Tim Robbins' 2003 satire about the Iraq invasion, a thinly veiled
Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz shout with Nazi-like gusto, "Hail Leo Strauss!" and get
sexually aroused at the prospect of international conquest. During the post-9/11 age of
neo-phobia, when an irrational fear of anything that might be called "neoconservative" gripped
the nation, such critiques passed as intelligently nuanced.
Neocons have been attacked as secret Trotskyites, open imperialists and perfidious double
agents for Israel. Some think the neocons are something like Jesuits (or perhaps Jewsuits) in
the service of their dark anti-pope Strauss, a long-dead, German-Jewish political philosopher
who emigrated to the U.S. to escape Hitler.
In a hopeful sign that it's once again safe to discuss the topic sanely, Robert Kagan of the
Carnegie Endowment has offered a renewed defense of neoconservative foreign policy in the
latest issue of World Affairs Journal.

Linkoy Muhuri, who raped a frail mother of three, claims he faces
dangers in his own country
A man who raped a frail mother of three while HIV positive is trying
to escape deportation.
Linkoy Muhuri, a failed asylum seeker from the Congo, claims he faces
dangers in his own country because of his medical condition and his
ethnicity.
The former hairdresser, 40, was jailed for ten years after attacking
the Aids counsellor, 34, who has sickle cell anaemia and had her feet
covered in bandages at the time.
During his prison sentence, he has been eligible for free treatment
for HIV worth tens of thousands of pounds.
Despite a judge recommending him for deportation on his release, his
wife and two children were allowed to stay in Britain so they could
visit him.
Muhuri, who came to Britain in 1999, has now served his sentence. But
appearing before an Asylum and Immigration Tribunal in Brentford, West
London, yesterday he produced more reasons as to why he should be
allowed to stay.

This isn't "picking on Jews". It is identifying the Zionist cult that
preys on and hides amoungst Jews.

Wars for the Jews?
I receive an enormous amount of criticism for my use of the phrases
'wars for the Jews' and 'Jew-controlled media'. Most of it is
malicious, either covert Zionists reacting to the truth, or
'progressives' trying to prove their own purity by slurring others.
Ironically, the worst offenders are those who are really anti-Semites
themselves, or at least those who would be so described by Zionists.
Who are you trying to kid?
I also receive well-meaning criticism. This takes a number of forms.
Some people genuinely believe that these terms are wrong, or at least
misleading. Some feel that this frankness is a tactical error...

I am outraged and offended by the racist beliefs of Obama and
associates.
I will not stand for genocidal threats from a black racist despot.
I call for the immediate impeachment of Obama, followed
by
his conviction for hate crimes and crimes against humanity.
