The democrats are not a left leaning party, they are not liberal in any meaningful way rather they are the current face of the one party state that supports the corporate bankster take over of government and the economy.

The current financial reforms prove this as no matter how much Obama may claim they will prevent another repeat of the financial meltdown they won’t do anything of the sort and it will only be a matter of time until another bubble bursts and the government is expected to clean up the mess. Instead of doing something drastic such as re-introduce Glass Stegal and other post depression laws they have instead given even more power to the one group of people who are probably more responsible for the current mess e.g the Federal Reserve.

The current reform act has done nothing to prevent the huge casino banks from making high risky investments and relying on the taxpayer to bail them out when they go wrong. Instead this acts proves the amount of power that the banksters have over government policy as they taken a large chunk of the bailout money given to them and used it to lobby, bribe and buy off politicians to prevent any meaningful reform from occurring. If the Democrats were a true left leaning party they would have stuck up for the man on the street instead of Wall Street. Their recent actions prove where their real allegiances lie.

If the Democrats were a true left leaning liberal party they would be against the war in Iraq and Afghanistan and definitely against the expansion of the never ending war on terror into Iran, Yemen and Pakistan. Instead they kowtow to Israeli pressure groups and the neo-con factions pushing for more war as if it was some kind of economic stimulus rather than one of the primary causes behind the collapse of the American dollar.

Instead of trying to reverse the massive amount of damage the last Republican war party has done to world peace, Americas image abroad and to the rule of law they have instead followed previous policies as well as expanding them. A true liberal party would have stopped these wars of aggression and instead used the trillions of dollars spent blowing up Afghani wedding parties and school buses to help the economy at home.

At home in America they have proved that they are controlled by financial and corporate interests by watering down any truly progressive bills such as the health care reform. Instead of going for a public option, a cheap affordable insurance plan that everyone could get covered by they opted for fudges and unconstitutional insurance mandates. When it came to propaganda about death panels and abortions on demand the Democrats buckled and gave in to fear and in fact it was the lack of votes on their side of the aisle that prevented their original plans from being implemented.

On civil liberties they have proved their non liberal credentials by following George Bush’s attack on the constitution and by extending the high tech surveillance state that is now a common feature of most western democracies. Using the war on terror as an excuse for anything and everything they have kept the Patriot Act, continued mass unwarranted wire tapping, renditions of prisoners to overseas prisoners where they can be tortured and extended the definition of “terrorist” to include many domestic protesters.

Instead of standing up for liberal beliefs in personal freedom and a small state they have instead extended the size of government beyond any comprehension and the size of the national debt is such that it is very likely to never be paid off unless a massive devaluation of the dollar takes place.

As Maher says in the video, a true liberal party would have legalised marijuana, and ended the other war that will never be won e.g the war on drugs. Instead of rolling back the police state apparatus that has sprung up they have allowed it to continue growing at a very fast pace.

This is a police force that sees nothing wrong with Tasering old grannies lying in their beds, or to shoot people in the back on train station platforms, or to storm into ones house and kill family pets who bark to loud. This is a police force that is crying out for a big firm hand to be squeezed around it to prevent abuse and in which cops who abuse their power by Tasering, assaulting and killing are punished in the same manner as any other citizen of the country would be. In fact I would go so far as to say that Police officers should be forced to upkeep even higher standards of professional conduct than anyone else and no leniency should be given to officers who choose to abuse their power by mistreating the public.

No matter what some on the right may say about Democrats being liberals, socialists and commies the truth of the matter is that the majority of Democrat house members don’t seem to have any liberal views at all.

The old left right paradigm has long disappeared and the only choice for voters in the 2 party political system is between a center right party e.g the democrats and a far right religious fundamentalist neo-con war mongering party. If you are anti war, anti corporate take over, pro civil rights and pro constitution which party are you supposed to vote for?

Bill Maher nails the current state of American politics.

Race is a tactic used by the global elite to divide and conquer the masses and pit them against each other. A prime example of this tactic in action is the recent NAACP passage of a resolution condemning alleged and unsubstantiated racism in the Tea Party movement.

Card carrying members of the NAACP may not know it, but they are being played for chumps. They will not emerge winners from this cynical race game, the ruling elite will. For the eugenicist elite, we are all vermin regardless of skin color and ethnicity.

Over the weekend TeaParty365 co-founder David Webb, who happens to be black, went on CBS’ “Face the Nation” to denounce the “selective racism” of the NAACP. He complained that NAACP President Benjamin Jealous “will not condemn the New Black Panther Party for saying that they want to kill crackers and kill cracker babies, whereas he would condemn the KKK or any element that shows up . . . and claims that they are a part of the Tea Party.”

The NAACP’s shrewd race game was further exposed when Breitbart released a video today demonstrating the racism of USDA official Shirley Sherrod while addressing a meeting of NAACP members. Sherrod boasts to an appreciative audience how she withheld information and help from a farmer because he was white.

Barry Obama was specifically selected to be a front man for the global elite — who have dictated the “democratic” outcome of elections in the United States for decades, as Carroll Quigley has noted — because they are determined to use race to divide and conquer the people of America. In the highly charged politically correct atmosphere of America — deliberately engineered by establishment foundations and universities — any criticism of black politicians and a black president will be immediately denounced as the worst sort of racism. The establishment knew this when they selected Barack Soetero to be an actor pretending to represent the American people (when in fact he represents the interests of Goldman Sachs, BP, and the international bankers).

It is a sad commentary that so many black Americans buy into the race baiting game. It is not white America that is the enemy of black Americans, but a small number of elite eugenicists and their minions who have a sordid and well-documented history of murderous hatred of back people (best illustrated by Margaret Sanger and abortion).

The NAACP was exploited by the elite to turn black Americans against the Tea Party movement on the heels of establishment Republicans taking over a large faction movement. The establishment is sincerely frightened by the prospect of a grassroots political movement returning the United States to its constitutional foundation and that is why they are manipulating the NAACP and inventing racism where none exists — except in the minds of a few marginalized (and government infiltrated) KKK members, white supremacists, and on the other side of the invented racial divide thuggish members of the Black Panthers and government bureaucrats like Shirley Sherrod.

A video posted on YouTube reveals the extent of the narco violence on the U.S.-Mexico border. “We heard machine guns, 9mm pistols, grenades, everything,” a note posted with the video explains. The gunfire occurred in Reynosa, Mexico, across the border from McAllen, Texas, on July 11.

On July 14, the Associated Press reported on gun battles along the Mexico-Texas border. “According to army statements, the first shootout killed a soldier in Reynosa on Sunday. Four gunmen [from the Zetas drug gang] died Tuesday in the same city, and another three were killed in Nuevo Laredo.”

On July 2, KGBT in Harlingen, Texas, reported a shootout in the Colonia Olmo and Fraccionamiento Arboledas neighborhoods on Reynosa’s northwest side. “Mexican Army officials reported that one of the patrols came under fire at the Carretera Ribereña to Nuevo Laredo,” the news station reported.

Bullets fired from the Mexican city of Juárez struck the El Paso, Texas, city hall on June 30. “No one was hurt, but nerves were rattled at City Hall in what is thought to be the first cross-border gunfire during a drug war that has engulfed Juárez since 2008,” reported the El Paso Times.

In February, the U.S. Consulate in the border city of Matamoros temporarily closed its Consular Agency in nearby Reynosa because of heightened drug-related violence between the Gulf cartel and the Zetas, CNN reported. The following month three people connected to the U.S. consulate in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, were killed in two drive-by shootings. A top drug gang enforcer said he ordered the killing of a U.S. consulate worker because she helped provide visas to a rival gang.

“There isn’t much news on this, other than an AP story about a baseball game that was shut down,” a comment on a LiveLeak post of the video recording of the gunfire in Reynosa states. “It’s disturbing that this is happening so close to our border and it seems like only a matter of time before it spills over. To find firefights like this, you would need to go to Fallujah Iraq in 2004.”

In Arizona, narco mob terrorism has spilled over the border. On June 21, Infowars.com reported that Arizona has lost control of a large section along its southern border to drug smugglers. “We are outgunned, we are out manned and we don’t have the resources here locally to fight this,” Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu said during on news conference in Casa Grande. Babeu, who appeared on the Alex Jones Show last week, said drug gangs control a three county stretch from the border to Phoenix.

On June 24, it was reported that a Mexican drug cartel threatened to kill police after officers in Arizona confiscated a marijuana shipment. “Police and experts believe the warning against the Nogales, Ariz., cops marks the first time that powerful Mexican drug cartels, used to bribing and bullying police south of the border, have targeted U.S. officers,” reported ABC News.

In April, a Pinal County Sheriff officer was shot in the abdomen with an AK-47 by drug smugglers.

Illegal immigrants murdered prominent southeast Arizona rancher Robert Krentz in March. Following the murder of Krentz, the FBI and the Border Patrol claimed both violence and illegal immigration have declined on the Arizona border. Two years ago, however, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security, said in a report that border gangs were becoming increasingly ruthless and had begun targeting rivals and federal, state and local police.

“The shocking reality of cross border gunfire proves the cold reality: American lives are at risk,” Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said in an open letter sent to Obama in June.

Last month Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl said at a town hall meeting that Obama told him during a private meeting that he was concerned he would not win GOP support on immigration legislation if he took care of border security first. “The problem is, he said, if we secure the border, then you all won’t have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform,” Kyl said. “In other words, they’re holding it hostage.”

BP has succeeded in capping the well and stopping oil from flowing into the Gulf of Mexico … at least temporarily.

The official Deepwater Horizon Response Twitter feed noted as of a couple of minutes ago:

Update: NO OIL FLOWING INTO THE GULF

This can be confirmed by looking at the underwater video cams.

As of this writing, Skandi ROV 2’s cam is showing the cap (no oil), and Skandi ROV 1’s cam is showing sonar of the seafloor:

However, numerous industry experts have warned that there is no upside to temporarily capping the well as part of the well integrity test, and that it might actually cause the well to blow out.

Indeed, Don Van Nieuwenhuise – director of geosciences programs at the University of Houston – told CNN today:

We don’t know if there ae significant leaks deep in the well.

There’s a couple of weak points at 9,000 feet, and one at 17,000 feet, that they might be particularly interested in looking and watching in the seismic.

[With seismic testing, you can look beneath the seafloor. Sonar only tests at the seafloor itself].

Admiral Thad Allen previously said that the test will be considered a success if pressure in the well stays at 8,000 psi or higher for 48 hours. So we won’t know for a couple of days whether the test has succeeded.

As AP correctly notes:

Now begins a waiting period to see if the cap can hold the oil without blowing a new leak in the well. Engineers will monitor pressure readings incrementally for up to 48 hours before reopening the cap while they decide what to do.

Interestingly, as CNN’s Situation Room noted a couple of minutes ago, the cap might soon be re-opened, and closed again only during hurricanes:

So is the well integrity test a meaningless PR stunt, which is delaying completion of the relief wells, and failing to bring us any closer to permanently killing the oil gusher?

Or is it a valuable tool to see if the well can be protected from further damage during a hurricane?

Only time will tell …

5 undercover cops outed at G20 rally in Toronto, Friday, June 25. After this video, these 5 were chased out of the demonstration by people identifying them as undercover police. Video 2(to come) confirms their identities as officers of the law. It displays these 5 regrouping in an alleyway where they are caught off guard, and even laugh, when they see I have them on film. Still shots demonstrating their movements in between to come on flickr.

If you didn’t catch it today, the World Cup match between North Korea and Portugal was an onslaught that ended in a 7-0 drubbing for North Korea.

In what was believed to be a first for North Korea, the match was streamed live to the impoverished millions back home however if the Dear Leader Kim Il Jong was watching I doubt he would have been too impressed with the result.

In that regards I am guessing that the North Korean national team probably isn’t in too much of a hurry to get back home as with most despotic nations sport is seen as more than just a game and history is littered with incidences of national teams being used for propaganda purposes.

Therefore I just hope that no harm comes to the players for bringing shame on their nation in the same way as the Iraqi national football team used to get tortured when they lost. During the reign of Saddam Hussein his sadistic eldest son Uday ran the Iraq National Olympic Committee and regularly had sportsmen and athletes tortured and murdered for under performing.

After Iraq’s 4-1 defeat to Japan in an Asian cup match in the 90’s three of the players were named as the culprits behind the defeat and were imprisoned and tortured and after their failure to reach the World Cup in 94 the whole team was forced to kick a concrete football around as punishment. Maybe Uday thought that having two feet full of broken toes helped you curl the ball better of something but his well known motivational techniques didn’t stop there and included the following ways to incentivize his players:

• Beating them with Iron Bars
• Caning the soles of their feet.
• Dragging them along pavements on their backs and then dunking them in sewage to infect the wounds.
• Urinating on their bowed shaven heads.

With such great ways to encourage the best out of his players it’s a wonder Iraq didn’t win all the world cups during the 90’s isn’t it?

Now there is nothing to suggest the North Korean players can expect similar treatment when they get back home and I sincerely hope not but if they did we would never know anyway would we?

To be honest I was pretty shocked when I saw North Korea had made it to the World Cup in the first place considering only a couple of their players actually play outside the country in competitive leagues. I cannot imagine the North Korean Premiership is a league brimming with foreign exports, multi million pound sponsorship deals, huge wage packets and weekly tabloid exploits of players misdeeds but then maybe that’s a good thing.

When I look at how our national team has performed this week I cannot claim that Capitalism offers a far superior economic framework as apposed to Communism for getting the best out of your footballers. Our team played the worst football I can ever recall during their 0-0 draw with Algeria on Friday night. Our supposed top stars, players such as Rooney, Gerrard and Lampard were a mess and their basic ball skills were such a let down I have seen Cub Scouts trap the ball and pass better.

Maybe with their £150,000 weekly wage packets, Ferrari’s, model girlfriends and expensive tastes they just don’t have the killer instinct anymore. I don’t doubt that they all want to win the World Cup as despite all their fancy trappings it’s the one thing they cannot just open a wallet and buy. Despite not winning any major football tournament for a very long time there just doesn’t seem to be the drive or inner desire to play their best that should be clear to see within every member of our national team. They have a rare opportunity that every school boy dreams of to perform on the biggest footballing stage in the world and yet they seem to treat the game as a chore to endure rather than a chance to shine.

I am guessing that the majority of the North Korean team would trade places with our “stars” in an instant. I cannot imagine that playing and living in a country that is basically on the brink of starvation where the national dish is literally grass is a pleasurable experience. Maybe what food is actually available is kept away from the masses and divided up between the Generals and the sportsmen and the chance of getting fed a proper meal is what drives these players instead of money. When your hungry having a new Rolex or driving the latest Bugatti doesn’t seem as important.

It would be interesting to know how they are treated back home and they shouldn’t feel any shame in today’s loss especially seeing that they almost managed to etch out a draw with Brazil in their previous game. If there is any country that constantly over performs every 4 years it’s Brazil.

They are surely the team that all other footballing nations look to in awe and should really be studying to see how they keep managing to succeed decade after decade on the world stage. Not particular a rich nation many of their famous players grow up in shanty towns before being spotted and end up playing for the big teams in South America or Europe.

Every Brazilian side from the keeper to striker seems to be blessed with natural skill and an inner desire to not only play well and win but to perform and enjoy themselves. To watch their game against the Ivory Coast the other night was a joy to behold, the way they pass the ball so naturally is something that surely cannot be taught and if it can we must be asking ourselves why can we not teach our own players the same skills.

The most important thing about the Brazilian team is that they always seem to enjoy their football and it’s no wonder they do. No defensive tactics or long ball actions. None of our tactic of putting a big lump up front who lacks any skill but is just there to hold the ball or knock on a header in set plays. No Brazilians play beautiful football and enjoy it because they are free to express themselves on the pitch.

No other team has had the honour of having their footballing prowess labelled as art and it seems that to Brazil their football is more than just a sport.  In my opinion their success has sprung all from their basic premise that the most important tactic is to enjoy the game and play each match as if it’s their last ever chance of kicking a ball. When you look at the fear in the North Koreans eyes or the frustration and anger in Rooney’s post match comments it’s clear to see why Brazil enjoys such success.

I don’t know how we could replicate this mindset in our own team but until we learn to enjoy our football we will continue to play like rabbits caught in headlights.

In this special video report for Prison Planet.tv members, Paul Joseph Watson analyzes the evidence for both criminal negligence and deliberate sabotage of the BP oil well and explores who is benefiting from the oil spill, both financially and politically.

Given the multitude of alarming examples of foreknowledge, motivation for sabotage, and clear evidence of deliberate malfeasance and negligence, state authorities in Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi need to immediately launch a mammoth criminal investigation into the role of BP, Halliburton and the federal government in causing the oil spill disaster, as well as their continuing cover-up of the true nature of the crisis, in addition to their efforts to block local authorities as well as foreign companies from helping to both stop the oil leak and clean up the devastation it has caused.

Julian Assange, who the Feds fear may release State Dept. secrets, denies having them—but he’s readying video of a deadly U.S. airstrike in Afghanistan.

After several days underground, the founder of the secretive website WikiLeaks has gone public to disclose that he is preparing to release a classified Pentagon video of a U.S. airstrike in Afghanistan last year that left as many as 140 civilians dead, most of them children and teenagers.

In an email obtained by The Daily Beast that was sent to WikiLeaks supporters in the United States Tuesday, Julian Assange, the website’s Australian-born founder, also defends a 22-year-old Army intelligence specialist who is now under arrest in Kuwait on charges that he leaked classified Pentagon combat videos, as well as 260,000 State Department cables, to WikiLeaks.

“Mr. Manning allegedly also sent us 260,000 classified US Department cables, reporting on the actions of US Embassy’s [sic] engaging in abusive actions all over the world,” Assange said in an email. “We have denied the allegation, but the US government is acting as if the allegation is true.”

American officials have said they are eager to determine the whereabouts of Assange, who canceled an appearance last Friday in Las Vegas, to discourage him from releasing any more classified information on his website, which is nominally based in Sweden and promotes itself as a global resource for whistleblowers. As recently as two weeks ago, Assange, who first gained global notoriety as a computer hacker, was in his native Australia.

In April, his website posted a copy of a classified Pentagon video of a 2007 American helicopter attack in Baghdad in which a dozen people were killed; that video is also believed to have been leaked by the Army intelligence analyst, Specialist Bradley Manning of Potomac, Maryland.

Full story here.

So just to recap for anyone who has been asleep for the last fortnight:

Israel has basically attacked Turkey, a NATO country, by illegally attacking a Turkish boat in international waters. The Mavi Marmara was full of peace activists who were trying to break the illegal blockade of Gaza by bringing much needed aid, medicine and building supplies into the port of Gaza by sea.

Israel had no right to invade this boat in international waters. No matter how much it claims it has the right to defend itself which is not in dispute this was NOT an act of defense but rather attack.

Under international law the people on board the flotilla had every right to sail to Gaza to deliver their aid which had been inspected at numerous ports on route to ensure the contents did not contain weapons or other contraband. Israel does not own the high seas and as it has withdrawn from Gaza it has no moral or legal right to dictate who enters that part of the Palestinian authority by sea.

Even their blockade of over land routes into Gaza has been condemned as a breach of International law and on a moral level they are punishing a million or so people who dared to vote into power Hamas in an election.

Also under International law the occupants of the Mari Marmara had every legal right to defend their ship from the illegal act of piracy that Israel engaged in and anyone who claims that they should have just sat back and
allowed the IDF commandos to carry on executing those on board without defending themselves needs their head examined.

Israel claimed in the propaganda onslaught they engaged in afterwards that their IDF soldiers only shot in self defence however we know this is lies for the following reasons:

1. We have numerous eye witness accounts that Israeli soldiers shot and killed people on board before invading the ship including this Al Jazeera reporter Jamal Elshayyal.

Also we have the first hand account from ex US marine Ken O’Keefe who personally overpowered and disarmed 2 Israeli commandos who he had witnessed executing two fellow passengers:

This was a forcible, non-negotiable, separation of weapons from commandos who had already murdered two brothers that I had seen that day. One brother with a bullet entering dead center in his forehead, in what appeared to be an execution.

I knew the commandos were murdering when I removed a 9mm pistol from one of them. I had that gun in my hands and as an ex-US Marine with training in the use of guns it was completely within my power to use that gun on the commando who may have been the murderer of one of my brothers. But that is not what I, nor any other defender of the ship did. I took that weapon away, removed the bullets, proper lead bullets, separated them from the weapon and hid the gun. I did this in the hopes that we would repel the attack and submit this weapon as evidence in a criminal trial against Israeli authorities for mass murder. I also helped to physically separate one commando from his assault rifle, which another brother apparently threw into the sea.

We also have the assassination list that was found on board, probably taken from the pocket of one of those IDF soldiers that had been overpowered and then taken inside to be treated by the doctors on board whilst they apparently cried for their Mums. This list contained photos of the “leaders” of the flotilla who were to be taken out during the raid.

One of these assassinations was actually caught on camera and you can see below the execution of 19 year-old Turkish-American high school student Furkan Dogan who was beaten to the floor, kicked and stamped upon before being shot dead at close range.

Where is the outage America ? How can you allow one of your own citizens to be executed like this in cold blood.

It’s not the first time that America has stood by whilst it’s close ally has murdered it’s citizens at sea. During the 1967 war Israel deliberately attacked the USS Liberty killing 37 crew members in an attack that was covered up by the then president Lyndon Johnson who ordered subsequent inquries to conclude that it was an accident.

In one of the earliest known false flag attacks committed by Israel the attack was carried out by unmarked planes and the aim was to sink the boat killing all on board and then blame the attack on Eygpt to then drag the USA into the war on Israel’s side. They might have succeded to if it hadn’t of been for the survivors who managed to request air force backup from the nearby USS Saratoga only to have the fighters called back three times by both the Secreatary of Defense and the President himself. You see when it comes down to a choice between Israel and American citizens you just know which way your leaders turn.

Not only did Israel carry out a war crime in a similar way to the USS Liberty on the Mavi Marmara it tried to cover it up afterwards by releasing fake reports, doctored evidence and edited audio and video.

Not only did the IDF have to retract an earlier claim that the flotilla was full of Al Qaeda terrorists. The photos of the “weapons haul” found on board the Mavi Marmara was found to be nothing more than the sort of equipment you would expect to find on a boat of it’s size. Certainly no rockets, guns or grenades were found.

Then we had the faked audio which was released on the IDF’s own website which tried to portray the flotilla crew as racists, Nazi’s and supporters of the 9/11 attacks.

The original video is a conversation between a member of the Israeli Navy talking to the Captain of the Mavi Marmara in which he asked for the flotilla to cease it’s path and allow Israel to deliver the goods into Gaza themselves.

The faked audio has had 3 responses dubbed into it. One of the responses says “Go back to Auschwitz” and the other says something about 9/11. The womens voice that can be heard is also fake as the the person the voice belonged to was actually on another boat that night so couldn’t have replied in the suggested manner.

To top this off we now have the following compilation video which supposedly lists a number of faked incidents from aboard the Mavi Marmara that night including inserted computer graphics of activists throwing grenades down onto an Israeli boat and a man who walks straight through a steel bar on the deck of the boat as if it wasn’t there.

Some of the other claims of fakery in the film are I think unfounded as we have eye witness accounts from people on board that they used water hoses to prevent Israeli troops from boarding as well as metal poles and sticks to hit the IDF Commandos with but that doesn’t negate other examples of computer wizardry when found.

The final piece of evidence to emerge that topped it all off and absolutely refuted all Israeli claims of self defence 100% was the autopsy report on the 9 dead bodies that was released last week. This showed that the 9 dead men had a total of 30 bullets in them and that 5 of them had died from shots to the head. A number of the victims had been shot in the back which means they couldn’t have been attacking the soldier who killed them, add to that the 19 year old who we witnessed earlier being executed who was killed by being shot five times from less that 45cm, in the face, in the back of the head, twice in the leg and once in the back.

How these wounds can be described as wounds inflicted by a soldier who was fearing for his life I do not know but the Israeli’s tried and a large portion of the dumbed down American population lapped it all up without even a questionable thought entering their minds.

From a legal point of view Israel is definitley 100% in the wrong having breached numerous international laws and treaties by attacking the Turkish owned boat in international waters. If this had been Iran who had attacked and then murdered a number of American citizens we would already be at war but then this is Israel the one country in the world who can act with impunity, take the flack and just not care about how the rest of the world views them for behaving this way.

Let us not forget as well that if it had been an Israeli boat attacked by Iran, Turkey or anyone else the situation would have been totally different as in the worlds eyes anything that Israel can claim is linked to its own security seems to give them a get out of jail free card and the rules that would normally apply get thrown out the window along with any regard to international law or sentiment.

Let us not forget the history of Israel which is steeped in blood and terror right from the beginning. Israel was happy to denounce all those on board as terrorists and terrorist enablers but let us not forget that Hamas is fighting for their homeland which has been stolen from them in the same way as the early Israeli terrorist groups the Stern Gang, Irgun and Haganah blew up buildings, terrorised the community and kidnapped and murdered British soldiers in the belief they were fighting for their homeland.

Let us not forget also that Hamas was actually helped into existence by the Israeli Mossad to act as a counter balance to Fatah and to get the Palestinians fighting amongst themselves. Looks like their plan of divide and conquer has worked a little too well.

Then we have the hypocrisy over nuclear weapons. Israel is the only country in the region who has nuclear weapons but refuses to sign the nuclear non proliferation treaty. It pretends to be concerned about the spread of the nuclear weapons but at the same time it has just been revealed that during the 1970’s Shimon Peres offered to sell the racist South African regime nuclear weapons in 3 sizes. Not only does it refuses to abide by the same rules that the rest of the worlds nuclear powers follow it is the only country who has threatened to use nukes on another country in an act of naked aggression.

Not only does Israel not mind the spread of nuclear technology when it is doing the spreading it refuses to allow any contenders within the region from establishing any semblance of a nuclear energy programme. Not only did it blow up Saddam Hussein’s nuclear reactor in the 80’s it is trying to push the world to act against Iran who is developing it’s own perfectly legal nuclear energy programme. No matter how much hysteria and propaganda Israel pushes into the media about Iran there has yet to be any proof to the claims that Iran is developing nuclear weaponry and the IAEE has repeatedly investigated and reported that no evidence exists of a nuclear programme.

Israel, home of the Jewish people, is supposedly a haven where people who have a history of discrimination and race hatred directed at them can live free from abuse. However Israel’s own history is one littered with associations with racists regimes from it’s secret deals with the Nazi’s during the second world war to help fight the British to it’s alliance with the racist South African apartheid regime when the whole world was making a stand against them. It’s own internal apartheid system treats Palestinians in the occupied territories as second class citizens who are denied access to the same roads and towns as Israeli’s and who are forced to survive in a form of limbo between nations and with little hope of a better future.

If your unlucky enough to be a Muslim and live in Palestine or Israel then life isn’t going to be much fun.

Not only is Israel buying up as much property in East Jerusalem as possible and evicting the Arab occupants so that it can turn the Palestinians intended capital into a Jewish enclave they are also digging up ancient Muslim cemeteries so that they can build museums dedicated to tolerance.

Yes in the hypocritical twilight world that is Israel tolerance is for the Jews only.

We must tolerate their own inherent racism and prejudices against Goyim, Palestinians, Christians and Muslims a like.

We must tolerate their extreme warmongering policies that drag others into the Middle East to fight their wars for them.

We must tolerate their underhand methods that involve subtefuge, lies, assassination and their policy of attack first ignore questions later.

We must tolerate their right to self defense that is actually not that at all but rather a desire to oppress a whole population because they cannot tolerate living alongside each other.

We must tolerate their intransigence as they continue to ignore Palestinian overtures of peace as well as demands from the international community because it helps foster an internal “them versus us” attitude that enables Benji, Livni and the others to continually claim that any rebukes for their latest crimes are actually signs of a new rise in anti-semitism and therefore can be safely ignored.

Yes we are being asked to tolerate a lot and it seems Israel is very happy to stick two fingers up at the world and continue on it’s merry way of killing, oppression and propaganda.

When one realises the amount of fake and edited news footage that Israel put out after the flotilla attack to try to distort public opinion away from a slaughter of innocents to a legitamite act of self defence how can we ever again trust news stories linked to Israel about Bin Laden living in Iran.

Not only does this story sound fake from a cursory view including that Bin Laden is reported to have died in 2001, that Al Qaeda a Sunni group is diametrically apposed to the Iranian Shias, that Iran has been fighting Al Qaeda itself and that most of all Israel is just itching for an excuse to attack the country. What better way than to convince the dumbed down Americans that their biggest baddy is hiding out in their favourite outlaw state.

You just couldn’t make it up. The problem is that Israel can and does.
