Did you know there was a Synagogue in New York before the first proper church was ever built? Did you know members of Jamestown were forced into cannibalism to survive, one even killed and ate his wife, (for which he was executed)? These are just two of the little facts I've learned (and I'm American) so far and knew nothing about. Also very good background on religion and how it grew/changed in America. Includes Canadian History and Mexican as well where these countries intertwined with ours.

Absolutely Excellent

Take the time to listen to this if you can. It is very well done, informative and interesting.

From the page: "These refugees from Hitler's gas chambers were actually, not theoretically, homeless. They came from many lands: Austria, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Romania, and the Baltic Countries. They were of all faiths: about 500,000 Catholics, 100,000 Protestants, and 226,000 Jews. (31) Of these last, some 100,000 were in the assembly camps of Germany, Austria and Italy; 50,000 undetained in the United Kingdom; 12,000 in Sweden; 10,500 in Switzerland; the rest scattered over the Continent."

This is a famous expose of the danger Israel posed to the rest of the world as a state based upon ethnicity rather than its people. What I like about the above paragraph is something you don't see today given the advocacy of the holocaust religion and holocaust industry. Take a look at the numbers used to describe who was freed from the work and death camps, closely. Notice anything? Now ask yourself why is it that we only speak about one portion of the victims today and in nearly all cases, with the dozens of 'holocaust museums' out there, only one group is ever mentioned as well? If there were multitudes of victims from many different faiths and backgrounds, (which there were), why is society and history only permitted to discuss one group. And what does this one group gain (answer Israel and carte blanch to kill at will) by ignoring and downgrading the lives and importance of others who died with and along side them? Very, very interesting.

Ha'aretz, Israel's largest English newspaper last month ran an article that basically said Israel's attempts to manufacture a history from archeology of a great civilization came to naught. The book 'Inventing Ancient Israel' goes through the scholastics involved and how the tribe of Israel was just that, a tribe rather than a great civilization like Mesopetania, Egypt or Greeks. Yes, this tribe brought us the Old Testament. No, they did not have a nation state and no, they did not build a great civilization. Their job was to introduce the rest of the world to God...which they didn't quite accomplish...and pave the way for the Messiah...which they did accomplish. Zionists are upset because they're trying to justify their land theft and war crimes. Unfortunately, when history and truth aren't on your side, the only option left to you is defamation, distraction, threats and lies. The attempts to unseat this author for telling the truth is what Zionists do. The truth must be surpressed as long as possible because with truth, their power disappears.

Unfortunately this is not unusual. For example in Elie Wiesle's book, he added in the new edition witnessing babies being thrown alive into bonfires. This did happen and is recorded...in 1915 during the Armenian Genocide. There is no record of such during Nazi Germany.
Tales of soap made from bodies, lamp shades and other extremely vile incidents have also been exposed as fraud. The problem is that every instance of embellishment about the German holocaust and every instance of denial, including the denial of equality through the failure to mention the 4-6 million non-Jewish victims in this horrible extermination campaign, all of these instances undermine the meaning and impact of it. As does today's incitement of shoah, the Hebrew word used to indicate the German holocaust, on 1.5 million people in Gaza.
Vilnai commented today on the situation to Israeli Army Radio:

"The more Qassam fire intensifies and the rockets reach a longer range, [the Palestinians] will bring upon themselves a bigger holocaust because we will use all our might to defend ourselves."

Big bad Israel seems confused about the meaning of 'Defense'. Where are those Palestinian tanks, unmanned drones and F-16's bombing Israeli neighborhoods anyway? When was the last time an Israeli was stopped at a Palestinian checkpoint? And who's building the apartheid wall again?

Not mentioned in the Israeli or American press is the constant pummeling by Israeli F-16's, tanks and unmanned drones on the people of Gaza nearly non-stop since January 1. Nor do they mention that Hamas repeatedly asked for a cease-fire and talks.

So Israel is deciding, according to their leaders, to take up the mantle of the Nazi's and become them. Should the rest of the world refer to Olmert as furer? Think they'd get the message?

I can't think of anything more horrendous or of a greater disservice to the 12-million people who lost their lives in Hitler's camps, can you? Shame on Israel!

And since we're talking about holocausts and suffering, what about the 20-million Chinese killed by Japan during the same period in much the same fashion. Do they not count because they're not Jewish?

Sometimes I wonder. Excuse me, but I think I'm going to throw up!

3/5/08: I see the Zio-zapper's are back with the usual accusations and attempts to discredit (last two reviews of my blog). I expected that with the Vanity Fair article review and this one. Boy am I going to have a good time in Israel next month! Guys, get some new material. Your slander and libel doesn't work anymore with anyone other than those defending the racism and apartheid policies of Zionism. You sound shrill and impudent. Try using the intellect God gave you for a change.

I was doing a little research on the airline industry and came across this article on women's sizes. Now Lucille Ball in the 1950's wore a size 12.
Back then, that was the smallest size available with a 23 1/2 inch waist. Well, since women are born to be vain, (we will buy something just because it is a smaller size). Let me give you an example. I'm 5'10" tall and my waist is 25 1/2". I wear a size 8 and sometimes a 10, (depending where it is made). But my closet has sizes ranging from a 4 to 14. The 4's and 6's I will buy just so they say 4 and 6. Hey! Not many really tall women can wear a size 4. I know, pure vanity. But it worked.

This gives you a little history of women's sizes and the advent of the 'Paper Dress'...wear it once and throw it away...from the 1960's. Great party conversation here.

Nice little profile on what Dispensationalism is (Christian Zionism) and why it is a danger to Christianity, The United States and ultimately given their dreams of total World War, The world.

I'm a little active tonight. I wanted to re-highlight Israel's site because this really is a powerhouse intellectual and a wonderful friend of mine.

Israel Shamir takes a unique twist to issues in the Middle East, mixing in History, philosophy and his innate understanding of both Judaism (grew up in the faith and the grandson of a Rabbi) and Christianity (Converted to Christianity as an adult). He's outspoken, does not follow the politically correct guidelines and tells it like it is. You will learn a lot about history and different ways of looking at things from reading his work. Shamir is an intellectual with the gift of bringing high minded ideas down to a level the rest of us can understand.

One of the things you'll notice as you become more adept at understanding the dynamics in the Middle East is that the Nation State of Israel discriminates against two groups of people wholly. The first is of course the non-Jewish population, the second however are the Semitic Jews of the Middle East...the actual lineage of Abraham, David, Moses and the Hebrews, Edomites and other groups which converted to the single God faith pre-Christ. These people are different than the non-Semitic, white Jewish people from Europe and Eurasia constituting the majority in Israel and whose ancestors did not become Jewish until the 8th Century AD, a full eight hundred years after Christ and nearly 250 after Mohammed. Ironically, the European Jews treated their Sephardic co-religionists with contempt upon the founding of Israel, relegating them to menial labor jobs, second class citizenship and a variety of other aspects of discrimination. Most Sephardic Jews had no desire to create a 'Jewish Only' state. They, (meaning the regular people. The Talmudic priests continued to persecute Christians heavily up through the seventh century according to Rabbinic sources. These same sources do not show a single instance of Christians persecuting rabbinic followers during that time, not a single instance). They, the Sephardic Jews, simply wanted to continue to live in peace, side-by-side with the other occupants of Palestine...as they had for centuries.

The fact is the three monotheistic faiths existed together well, living side by side in relative peace since both faiths' (Christianity and Islam's) inception. Sephardic Jews are still discriminated against today in Israel on various levels, thou no where as overtly as the Christians and Muslims.
I strongly believe that the common heritage shared by the Semitic peoples of all three faiths will become the ultimate bridge for righting the wrongs created, enforced and executed by the white supremacist, anti-Semitic attitudes Zionism codifies and continues to impart on all Semitic people, Jewish, Christian and Muslim. This journal is a great place for those not familiar with the Sephardic heritage to begin learning about it.
