The Coming American Revolution
June 25, 2010 (Written by Christopher Bollyn)
Where the election is a fiction, the representation is a fiction also. Like will always produce like.
- Thomas Paine to the Citizens of the United States, January 29, 1803
A revolution is brewing in the United States of America. The public discontent surrounding the costly and disastrous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the firing of General Stanley A. McChrystal, and the BP oil spill in the Gulf are all indications that a revolution is nearing. There are, of course, many other grievances, such as the trillion dollar bail-out and taxes, but there is one issue that makes a revolution inevitable: the government lies and cover-up about what really happened on 9-11.
The publication in March 2009 of the discovery of a large amount of super-thermite in the dust of the pulverized World Trade Center was not just the end of the government’s version as an acceptable explanation of what happened on 9-11 – it marked the beginning of the American revolution against the tyranny that has hijacked our republic.
President Obama says that U.S. troops are fighting in Afghanistan because of the terrorism of 9-11 but we have solid scientific evidence that the Twin Towers were demolished with an extremely powerful form of super-thermite made with nanotechnology. The government lies about 9-11 and the proof cannot co-exist in peace. The discovery of super-thermite effectively marked the end of the criminal regime that runs the United States. Its days are numbered.
Revolutions are usually associated with violence, but they don’t have to be. Since 1990, half the nations of Europe and Asia have gone through peaceful revolutions that replaced the former dictatorships of the once mighty Soviet Union. The apartheid regime of South Africa also came to an end without violence. The revolution to restore the sovereignty of the American people certainly need not be violent, and really should not be.
The essential problem with the American republic today is that “the representation is a fiction” because our elections are fraudulent fiction. President Obama and the Congressmen running the United States do not really represent us, the American people. Our politicians are beholden to the people who put them in power, i.e. the people who own and control the electronic voting machine systems used across the United States.
The only way to peacefully restore the stolen sovereignty to the American people is to restore integrity and transparency to our elections. The widespread use of electronic voting machines is how our republic is stolen from us every time we hold elections. The easiest and surest way to get our nation back is to return to hand-counted paper ballots in every polling place across the United States. The Constitution gives the states and counties the authority to determine the manner of voting. The citizens in every county need to be involved and present at the counting of the votes in every polling place to properly authenticate the tally. This is the absolute essential condition, the conditio sine qua non of an open and democratic election. If the people are not involved in the counting of the votes, the election is not authentic. It’s that simple. A few hours spent counting votes is a small price (but the absolute minimum required) to pay for preserving our republic.
Christopher Bollyn (left) visited ES&S in Omaha to ask a few questions about the company that runs the voting machines in many counties in the United States. ES&S clearly did not want to talk and had absolutely no information to provide to the media.
In a discussion of the recent primary election in South Carolina in which a previously unknown candidate beat the Establishment candidate, I received the following email from a writer who goes by the name Jimi Big Bear. Mr. Big Bear’s comments about electronic vote fraud in the United States explain the problem in a way that everyone can understand.
Jimi Big Bear wrote the following:
In all likelihood, the same voting machines were used as were used to elect Obama. Right? Why no cries of vote rigging then?
Coulter: Obama senior adviser [and Zionist handler] David Axelrod said Greene was not a “legitimate” candidate and called his victory “a mysterious deal.” (Yes, how could a young African-American man with strange origins, suspicious funding, shady associations, no experience, no qualifications, and no demonstrable work history come out of nowhere and win an election?)
Is electronic voting a major problem? Absolutely. But I think what this incident points out is how corrupt the whole process is – what a farce and a sham it is. Maybe that’s what whomever put up the $10,000 for this numb skull (Greene) wanted to show America? Maybe it’s just the mood of the country to vote out all incumbents? Maybe Greene watched “Used Cars” one too many times?
There is only one Establishment party – a political MONOPOLY. It appears to have two “wings” or branches to it – Republican and Democrat – and the gullible public believes that one of the parties has their interests at heart, or is somehow or in someway “better” than the other party. It’s so superficial, it’s like TV sports (any/all of them). People have their team and wear their team’s colors and watch their games – sometimes even travel to major cities to spend lots of money to watch their team live.
Time has proven that with Obama we have VERY LITTLE difference than if McCain/Palin would have been elected. The lesser of evils is still evil, after all. Why do those of you who voted for Obama not call him on his lies?
Obama is a Zionist-controlled politician just like Bush and Clinton.
Same thing with the media. It’s all owned by just 6 companies – all of them owned/controlled by Zionists. The media collectively has a “box” – one side of the box is “left”, “liberal”, Democrat starring Mathews, Olberman, etc. The other side of the box is “right”, “conservative”, Republican starring Limbagh, Hannity, O’Reilly and Coulter, etc. The media makes it SEEM like there are real differences between the two sides, and they go to great lengths to keep us from “seeing” the box, and they all know, pretty much from experience, that if they want to keep getting the big paychecks, that they do NOT want to get out of the box. Don’t get out of the box. Don’t even talk about the box! Divide and conquer – just as M said. That’s what demo[n]cracy is all about – divide and rule. That’s why M also said, “Damn the democracy!”
To get caught up in the Al Greene debate is to be distracted from the bigger picture. The quickest way to get our Country back is to take the MONEY POWER away from the Zionist Crimocracy that runs the country. Without the “terrible power of the purse” they’ll have to fold up their tent and move on. Liberals will stop being Neoliberals and Conservatives will stop being Neoconservatives. With cool heads, warm hearts and compromise, statesmen will replace politicians and our Country will be restored to greatness…
Vote fraud has been going on FAR longer than 2000 Bush Gore, folks. The Collier brothers are (or were – I think they were both killed with cancer) THE premier vote fraud discoverers. In Florida, way back in the early 60′s, one of the brothers ran for office and the other brother was his campaign manager. What they discovered – by actually participating in the process – was astounding.
VOTESCAM: The Stealing of America by the Collier brothers
Anyway, the media turned out to be involved in the vote fraud that was going on WAY back then – WAY before electronic voting machines. Janet Reno was involved. Catherine Graham – the Grand Dragon Lady of the Washington Post – and even the friggin League of Women Voters!!!! The Collier brothers were hounded and I believe ultimately murdered (slowly with cancer) by the ESTABLISHMENT’S CIA.
The crux of the problem remains the same: THE VOTING IS SUPPOSED TO BE SECRET. THE COUNTING IS SUPPOSED TO BE PUBLIC!
The Collier brothers walked into a back room of a voting machine company – with a video camera (big as they were in the day) – and captured members of the League of Women Voters actually altering the punch cards that the voting machines made that day in the election! They had “chads” all over their clothes!
The point I’ve been trying to make is that the core problem isn’t Republicans or Democrats, it’s the Establishment! They OWN Obama – just as they owned Bush-Cheney and McCain-Palin! They own the media. They own MOST of Congress. They own the voting machine companies.
If you’re honest with yourself, you will admit that things are very little different from Bush-Cheney Junta to Obama. How many more of Obama’s lies do you have to see proven before you will admit that there is only the one Establishment party? The Goldman-Sachs crowd owns Obama just as surely as they would (do) own McCain-Palin.
So, bottom line, DOES IT REALLY MATTER IF THERE IS VOTING FRAUD WHEN THE ONLY CHOICE WE HAVE IS BETWEEN THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS? SOMEONE FROM THE APPARENT DEMOCRAT WING OF THE ONE ESTABLISHMENT PARTY? OR SOMEONE FROM THE APPARENT REPUBLICAN WING OF THE ONE ESTABLISHMENT PARTY?
The time has come folks. We have to stop listening to and believing the awesome figure in front of us: “Pay no attention to that little man behind the curtain.”
Look!
It’s not really the Great and Powerful Oz that we need to tremble and grovel in front of – it’s just a little Free Mason from Kansas.
WE outnumber THEM by almost a million to one. Their greatest fear is that we’ll see them for what they are – that we’ll see thru the illusion, confusion and ignorance that keeps them in power over us. That we will unite – throw the bastards out – and live in Liberty, Peace, Prosperity and Love.

The Evil Fruit of “Big Oil” Corruption of U.S. Politics
(Written by Christopher Bollyn)
In June 2009, when Liz Birnbaum was appointed to head the agency that manages the Offshore Energy and Minerals program, Interior Ken Secretary Salazar said: “Her in-depth knowledge of energy issues, natural resource policy and environmental law as well as her managerial expertise and work in coalition building will be especially important as we advance President Obama’s new energy frontier and lay the foundation for a clean energy economy.”
So much for wishful thinking. Here we see the real results of Birnbaum’s “in-depth knowledge” and “managerial expertise”, and President Obama’s “clean energy economy.”
A bird mired in the BP oil spill that has fouled the Gulf of Mexico
A Brown Pelican of Louisiana dying in the oil spewing from the destroyed British Petroleum (BP) platform.
A nation that went to the moon and fights two major wars at the same time can’t plug a leaking oil well in the Gulf of Mexico? S. Elizabeth Birnbaum, the Obama-appointed lawyer who headed the corrupt and inept U.S. agency that oversees offshore drilling resigned as soon as the disaster occurred.
S. Elizabeth Birnbaum, Director of the U.S. Minerals Management Service is the Obama-appointed official responsible for “the environmentally safe exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas.” She had absolutely no experience in the field when she was appointed to oversee the safe development of offshore oil in July 2009. Birnbaum quit as soon as disaster struck. Employees at her agency in Louisiana were “part of the industry” and were more interested in watching pornography at work than monitoring the safety of offshore drilling operations. Many of them had worked for the companies whose operations they were responsible for monitoring.
S. Elizabeth (Liz) Birnbaum assumed duties as the Obama administration’s Director of the Minerals Management Service (MMS) on July 15, 2009. As MMS Director, Birnbaum was responsible for mining of energy and mineral resources on the nation’s Outer Continental Shelf, “including the environmentally safe exploration, development, and production of oil and natural gas.” Birnbaum received her Juris Doctor from Harvard University in 1984 and her A.B. degree from Brown University in 1979. She was Editor in Chief of the Harvard Environmental Law Review. She quit as soon as her complete incompetence was exposed by the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Why is Birnbaum not held accountable for her negligence?
WHO IS SUSAN ELIZABETH BIRNBAUM?
Before she resigned and disappeared from the scene, the Minerals Management Service had a webpage that gave a brief biographical sketch of MMS Director S. Elizabeth Birnbaum. Oddly, it does not even provide her first name, which is Susan. This hiding of first names and parents is typical of members of the C.I.A.’s ”shadow government”. Born in 1958, Susan Birnbaum is the daughter of Colonel Myron L. Birnbaum, who had a long career with the Judge Advocate General’s Department of the U.S. Air Force, where he served until 1971 as a Colonel. He went on to serve in the “civil service” and as a Special Assistant in the Directorate of the USAF Judiciary. Born in San Francisco, California in 1915 in a Jewish family that has its roots in Poland/Russia, Myron passed away in 1984.
So, who is Susan Birnbaum and why was she appointed to oversee the agency that sells the leases for offshore oil drilling? Furthermore, why was she, as the appointed official who directed the agency that clearly failed to monitor the safety precautions on the offshore BP platform that exploded, allowed to simply walk away? If she were not to blame, why did she quit? If she were truly a person who cared about the environment and clean energy, why did she suddenly bolt when the oil started spewing from a well she was responsible for monitoring? Why did the Obama administration let her off the hook so easily and replace her with a new director like nothing even happened? What was Susan Birnbaum doing as the director of the MMS in the first place?
I would speculate that Susan Birnbaum is a high-level C.I.A. agent, the daughter of one of the agency’s founders. The C.I.A. was created in 1949 from the merging of the O.S.S. and U.S. Army intelligence. There were many Jewish lawyers, such as Mark Lane and Myron Birnbaum, who had served in Army intelligence, who were senior officers in the new C.I.A. The C.I.A. is the central agency of the “shadow government” that now wages its own secret wars in places like Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan – among other places. It is an agency of the “banksters” and works hand-in-glove with Big Oil. This is the only explanation why Susan Birnbaum would be in charge of the agency that sells offshore drilling leases and drilling rights on federal land.
Here is a brief description of the responsibilities of the Minerals Management Service:
An agency of about 1,700 people in 20 locations, MMS has two primary programs: Minerals Revenue Management (MRM) and Offshore Energy and Minerals Management (OEMM). Under the guidance of the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, the OEMM manages energy and mineral development in over 1.71 billion offshore acres of Federal land called the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) and annually disburses to the U.S. Treasury an average of $13 billion in minerals revenue.
Through the Minerals Revenue Management (MRM) program, the MMS collects, accounts for, and disburses mineral revenues from Federal and American Indian leases. Since its inception in 1982, MMS has disbursed approximately $200 billion to Federal, state, and American Indian accounts.
The MMS is also responsible for inspection and oversight of energy companies to ensure they are following the law and protecting the safety of their workers and the environment.
Lastly, why did it take one month for the head of the EPA to visit the scene of this mega-disaster? More than anything, this environmental disaster reveals the badness, the extreme corruption and incompetence of the Obama administration.
Free Bruno – L.A. 9-11 Truth Activist Faces Charges
June 19, 2010 (Written by Christopher Bollyn)
“9/11 truth is the greatest anti-war message there is.”
- Bruno Bruhwiler of WeAreChangeLA
Bruno Bruhwiler, lead organizer of WeAreChangeLA, is being targeted as a terrorist threat. To understand why he is being targeted by the Zionist-war crimocracy, watch the short (50-second) video below. Americans (and peace activists around the world) need to support patriots like Bruno who bring the truth of 9-11 to the fore in the anti-war movement.

Israel Rejects International Inquiry into Flotilla Massacre
…
…
On May 31st, Israeli commandos boarded ships of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla in international waters, and proceeded to kill nine activists. This was a crime – piracy and murder on the high seas. Even more deplorable was israel’s cover-up of the massacre.
Millions of viewers were shown a staged video of the activists wielding rods and chains, in preparation for battle with the israelis. The audio of the israeli navy hailing the ships was dubbed with fake provocations. And false evidence of knifes and other weapons being used was presented to the world’s media.
It now appears that israel will avoid any international accountability for these crimes. The state of israel, with US backing, has rejected calls for a United Nations inquiry into the flotilla massacre. Instead the israelis will conduct their own investigation.
Here is an excerpt from the Associated Press:
Israel named its own inquiry commission, headed by retired Israeli Supreme Court justice Yaakov Turkel, joined by 93-year-old legal expert Shabtai Rosen and Amos Horev, a retired general and ex-president of the Technion, an Israeli university.
In an attempt to widen the image of the inquiry, Israel’s Cabinet also approved two prominent international observers: David Trimble, a Nobel peace laureate from Northern Ireland, and Canada’s former chief military prosecutor, retired Brig. Gen. Ken Watkin.
Trimble, a member of the British House of Lords, belongs to a pro-Israel faction in the parliament. Watkin has been a visiting fellow in the human rights program at Harvard Law School.
The participation of Trimble — who, like most Protestants in Northern Ireland, closely identifies with Israel — as well as the limited scope of the inquiry could draw international criticism.
Abbas rejected the commission, asserting it falls short of U.N. Security Council demands for an “impartial” investigation. A U.N. spokesman said Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon doesn’t reject the Israeli investigation but still wants an international inquiry.
In Washington, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the Israeli move was “an important step forward” in meeting Security Council demands. “We believe that Israel certainly, as a government, has the institutions and certainly the capability to conduct a credible, impartial and transparent investigation,” he said.
In rejecting an international inquiry, Israel argued that the United Nations and other global bodies have a long history of bias against Israel.

Hasbara Comedy Video Exposes IDF “knife attacker” Fraud
Posted by Ali Abunimah
A recent video mocking the humanitarian aid flotilla attacked and hijacked by Israeli naval forces includes a litany of stock and specific “enemies” of Israel. The video includes the discredited photo of the random bearded “angry” brown man with ceremonial dagger that continues to appear in Israeli media. A cropped version of this photo appeared in Haaretz and The Jerusalem Post with the claim — attributed to the IDF spokesperson’s office — that the man was attacking Israeli forces as they boarded the Mavi Marmara.
(Jerusalem Post)
(Haaretz)
The propaganda video however shows more of the image and it is clear the man is seated:
Either sitting, standing or levitating on a magic carpet, the man in the photo is clearly not attacking anyone, but engaged in a performance for an audience. Who keeps the original photo? The IDF Spokesperson’s office. If the IDF distributed a cropped version of the photo and only they have the original, does that suggest that they also put out this crude propaganda video? If they did does that mean Sheikh Raed Salah and Recep Tayyip Erdogan are now declared as enemies for Israel? If the IDF didn’t crop the photo itself, are Israeli media cropping it in a deliberately manipulative manner to conceal the context and boost the claim that the man himself or others were lunging at Israeli soldiers with knives?
We Con the World
From the BBC:
The Israeli government has apologised after its press office emailed to journalists a spoof video about the flotilla which tried to dock in Gaza.
Mark Regev, spokesman for the Israeli Prime Minister’s office, told the UK’s Guardian newspaper: “I called my kids in to watch it because I thought it was funny. It is what Israelis feel. But the government has nothing to do with it.”
The video was made by the Hebrew satirical website Latma.co.il, run by Jerusalem Post deputy editor Caroline Glick.
On her website she said the clip featured “the Turkish-Hamas ‘love boat’ captain, crew and passengers in a musical explanation of how they con the world.”
“We think this is an important Israeli contribution to the discussion of recent events,” Ms Glick wrote.
Here is the video:
American Freedom Activists Kidnapped, Beaten, Maimed, and Killed by Israelis
(Written by Christopher Bollyn)
Updated June 7, 2010
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know the good from the evil.
- Jesus Christ, Sermon on the Mount
American Kenneth O’Keefe was beaten savagely by Israeli agents. O’Keefe, a Gulf War veteran and Defender of M/V Mavi Marmara – was among the 600 people kidnapped by the Israeli military when their vessel was illegally hijacked by Ehud Barak’s forces in international waters. How will Obama respond to this latest Israeli outrage against American citizens on the high seas? When will the international community issue arrest warrants for the Israeli terrorists Ehud Barak and Benjamin Netanyahu?
I remember being asked during the TJP Human Shield Action to Iraq if I was a pacifist, I responded with a quote from Gandhi by saying I am not a passive anything. To the contrary I believe in action, and I also believe in self-defence, 100%, without reservation. I would be incapable of standing by while a tyrant murders my family, and the attack on the Mavri Mamara was like an attack on my Palestinian family. I am proud to have stood shoulder to shoulder with those who refused to let a rogue Israeli military exert their will without a fight. And yes, we fought…
O’Keefe on his arrival in Istanbul airport
I would especially love to debate with any Israeli leader who accuses us of wrongdoing, it would be my tremendous pleasure to face off with you. All I saw in Israel was cowards with guns, so I am ripe to see you in a new context. I want to debate with you on the largest stage possible. Take that as an open challenge and let us see just how brave Israeli leaders are…
No matter how vile and wrong the Israeli agents and government are, they are still my brothers and sisters and for now I only have pity for them. Because they are relinquishing the most precious thing a human being has, their humanity.
- Kenneth O’Keefe in Defenders of Mavi Marmara
Participating in the Freedom Flotilla is like a family reunion to me. It is my long lost family whose conscience is their guide, who have shed the fear, who act with humanity.
- Kenneth O’Keefe, June 5, 2010

M/V Rachel Corrie HEADING FOR GAZA
Despite the violent incident on May 31, another aid ship is currently on its way to Gaza. The Irish-owned M/V Rachel Corrie, carrying Nobel peace laureate Mairéad Corrigan-Maguire and former UN official Denis Halliday, is expected to hit the Israel-imposed exclusion zone by Saturday morning. M/V Rachel Corrie, a vessel named after the 23-year-old American girl killed in Gaza in 2003, is still bound for Gaza.
The Rachel Corrie, an Irish ship planning to break Israel’s blockade on Gaza was reported early Saturday to be sailing along the North African coast and had recently passed Alexandria in Egypt.
According to the report on Israel Radio, the ship was planning to reach Gaza at 7 AM when it would be visible from the coast, so that any boarding could be filmed.
Early Saturday morning, a spokesman for the Gaza-based welcoming committee told Agence France Presse the Rachel Corrie had been intercepted and all communications with the ship cut.
“Several Israeli boats surrounded them between 30 and 35 miles off Gaza and prevented them from reaching Gaza,” Amjad al-Shawa said after speaking by telephone with passengers on the boat.
In a last communique issued at around 5:38 am (0238 GMT), activist Jenny Graham, who is on board the Rachel Corrie, told organisers the vessel was being approached by two Israeli warships.
Graham said equipment on board had been “jammed by the Israeli navy, and that they expected their satellite phone to be jammed soon as well,” the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign said, adding that it was not able to determine the ship’s location when it was intercepted.
Israeli public radio, which also reported that the ship had been intercepted, said it was being escorted by three navy vessels through a stretch of water some 35 miles from the Egyptian coast.
The Rachel Corrie, was delayed due to mechanical problems and is the last ship – the lone survivor - from the original Freedom Flotilla, which was attacked by Israeli commandos on May 31 with heavy loss of life among the peace activists. Rachel Corrie is carrying desperately needed aid and is still heading for the blockaded 1.5 million Palestinians of the Gaza Strip, despite Israeli proclamations that it will not be allowed to dock. The ship is due to arrive in Gaza at 8 a.m. on Saturday, organisers said today.
M/V Rachel Corrie is expected to reach the blockaded Gaza Strip on Saturday morning
Martin O’Quigley, from the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign, which is working with the Free Gaza Movement, which organised the ship, said he spoke to two people on board at 7.30 a.m. this morning. “They’re 150 miles from Gaza, and they should be approaching the exclusion zone at 8am tomorrow morning,” O’Quiqley said. “They’re about 80 miles from the previous interception point.” O’Quigley said he had spoken to both Máiread Maguire, the Nobel peace prize laureate, and Jenny Graham, from the Free Gaza Movement, two of a total of 11 passengers on the ship.
The Rachel Corrie is attempting to defy the Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, who said yesterday that the ship would not be allowed to reach the blockaded area. ”We shall not allow the ships to reach Gaza. Not now and not later on,” the Israeli news website Ynet reporting him as saying.
Benjamin Netanyahu is a Zionist extremist of the Likud, the political party of Menachem Begin and former Irgun terrorists like Yitzhak Shamir. These are very dangerous people who are utterly amoral in advancing their racist war on humanity. The massacre of peace activists on the high seas is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Zionist terror. These are the very people who planned and carried out the false-flag terror of 9-11.
Proof Emerges IDF Audio of Radio Communication With Mavi Marmara is Fabricated
UPDATED: EARLIER VIDEO RELEASED BY ISRAEL PROVIDES FURTHER PROOF OF AUDIO FAKERY
Today, Israel released what it claimed to be the audio of a conversation between Israeli naval vessels and the Turkish-owned ship Mavi Marmara which occurred prior to the Israeli assault that killed at least 9 passengers and injured dozens more in the early hours of 31 May in international waters in the eastern Mediterranean. This audio clip, which the Israelis titled “Radio Transmission from Mavi Marmara to Israeli Navy” appears to be fabricated.
The following is a transcript of the audio:
ISRAELI SHIP “This is the Israeli Navy, you are approaching an area which is under a naval blockade”
MAN’S VOICE 1 “Shut up, go back to Auschwitz.”
WOMAN’S VOICE “We have permission from the Gaza Port Authority to enter.”
MAN’S VOICE 2 “We’re helping Arabs go against the US, don’t forget 9/11 guy”
On hearing the recording Adam Shapiro, co-founder of the International Solidarity Movement, identified the woman’s voice as that of his wife Huwaida Arraf, chair of the Free Gaza Movement. However, Arraf was not aboard the Mavi Marmara. She was aboard one of the small passenger vessels in the six-boat flotilla, called Challenger 1. She recounted what she experienced on Russia Today, among other major media outlets (video below). It would appear that Israel has once more been caught fabricating evidence in its desperate effort to justify its violent assault on the Free Gaza Flotilla, a civilian convoy carrying humanitarian aid to the blockaded Gaza Strip.
Update 1
Thanks to Marian Houk (http://twitter.com/MarianHouk ), I have learned that the Israeli army originally uploaded a video (below) in which the same naval officer in the video above has an innocuous conversation with a ship in which the only reply from the ship is “Negative, Negative, our destination is Gaza.” There is no “anti-Semitism” or anything that paints the Flotilla passengers as raving bigots. The earlier video actually shows the officer moving, whereas in the previous video in which a speaker allegedly says “Go back to Auschwitz” we simply see a still picture of the same naval officer while the audio plays. This is further evidence of complete fabrication.
WHAT ISRAEL’S ACT OF PIRACY REVEALS
(Written by Christopher Bollyn)
Badness always manifests in destruction and corruption, while goodness always manifests in preservation and benefit.
- Socrates (469-399 B.C.) in Plato’s Politiea (Republic)
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
- Jesus of Nazareth’s Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7:15-20 (KJV)
The Israeli military assault on the Freedom Flotilla has taken up most of my working hours since May 31. I have not been able to finish the second part of my article about Israel’s role in the bankrupting of Iceland or respond to my email. At this point, I just hope the Israelis allow the M/V Rachel Corrie to dock in Gaza and deliver the much-needed supplies to the suffering people of Gaza. I hope the Israelis come to their senses and lift their cruel blockade on the 1.5 million people of Gaza and allow them to live like human beings. Will they allow Rachel Corrie to reach Gaza? Time will tell.
The above quotations from Socrates and Jesus are fundamental truths that have been part of human history since Socrates first uttered these words some 400 years before Christ was born. These two expressions of this basic truth are really what my efforts are all about.
Having lived in Israel and the Middle East, and having studied the Israeli-Palestinian problem for decades, I came to understand the nature of the state of Israel through having lived with Israelis and Palestinians. I learned about Zionism and Israel through my first-hand experiences with the people, and by having read a great deal about current events and Zionist history.
What I learned about the state of Israel is that it is an amoral criminal state. The history of Zionist terrorism indicates that it always has been, even prior to the establishment of the state of Israel. When I lived among Israelis I remember that they often used the word “pragmatic”, which I found rather odd. I now know why they used this word so often. It was part of their education and defines their worldview. Zionist children are taught to be pragmatic. Questions of morality are not to interfere with their actions – and they don’t. Zionists are not immoral; they are amoral.
Nothing good will come out of Israel because it is a state like a corrupt tree that produces only evil fruit. This should be abundantly clear to anyone who has read newspapers and followed world events since 1982, when Israel launched its invasion of Lebanon which took the lives of some 30,000 civilians. There is a very rare large format book called Eyewitness Lebanon – Evidence of 91 international correspondents (Morris International, 1983) that contains shocking photographs from news photographers who covered the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon.
Eyewitness Lebanon – An essential book to understanding Zionism
I have never seen this book, which is published in the English language, in the United States. The photographs in this book are evidence of a whole raft of Israeli war crimes, none of which has ever been prosecuted. One, for example, shows the Israelis arresting all the doctors and nurses from the hospitals of Beirut – so they would not treat the thousands of wounded.
The Israeli crimes in Lebanon were the first fruits of the Likudniks that came to power when arch-terrorist Menachem Begin became prime minister in the 1970s. The coming to power of the extreme rightwing Likud party was a fundamental change in Israeli politics. The Likud was the political party of the former terrorists of the Irgun, which Begin commanded in the 1940s. These are Zionists who are completely amoral.
Begin was a criminal in the Soviet Union before he came to Palestine.
They are willing to employ any tactic, and prefer violence and terrorism, to achieve their strategic goal, which is basically a Jew-only fortress state occupying most of the Middle East. The favorite element of the Likudniks is iron, which they use to name many of their operations, e.g. Iron Fist, Iron Brain, and Iron Wall. The Iron Wall was what the founder of the Likud, Vladimir Jabotinsky, called for to separate the Jewish settlers from the native Palestinians. Ariel Sharon, a disciple of Jabotinsky, saw to it that the wall was built.
Menachem Begin supervised the terror bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946. These are the same people who carried out the false-flag terror attacks of 9-11.
This is the faction of Zionist terrorists that runs Israel today, as it has since 1977. Benny Begin, son of Menachem, is at the top of the Israeli government along with the sons and daughters of the Zionist terrorists who created the state of Israel in the 1940s. Bibi Netanyahu, for example, is the son of the head of Jabotinsky’s New Zionist Organization. For these people war and terrorism is the desired state. Peace is neither wanted nor desired.
The sons of terrorists, Benny Begin and Bibi Netanyahu, are now running Israel.
This is the real reason that Israel attacked the ships of the Freedom Flotilla killing many of the peace activists. This is why there is never any movement in the so-called “peace process.” The Israeli government doesn’t want peace. This is why, whenever Israel is pushed to make concessions for peace and feels cornered by the international community, it reacts with acts of brutal amoral violence. This is what they have always done. The attacks on the Freedom Flotilla are just the latest manifestations of this most predictable Zionist reaction.

M/V Rachel Corrie HEADING FOR GAZA
Despite the violent incident on May 31, another aid ship is currently on its way to Gaza. The Irish-owned M/V Rachel Corrie, carrying Nobel peace laureate Mairéad Corrigan-Maguire and former UN official Denis Halliday, is expected to hit the Israel-imposed exclusion zone by Saturday morning.
Irish minister for foreign affairs, Micheal Martin, has warned: “We want maximum restraint and we do not want any interception in international waters.”
Mr Halliday has spoken from the ship, saying: “We all remain in good spirits, and we want to thank everyone all over the world for all their support.”
HALLIDAY APPEALS TO IRISH-AMERICANS
“We also feel there is a role for the Irish diaspora here, in the US and elsewhere to lobby politicians over this continued illegal blockade of Gaza, which is causing such hardship to the Palestinian people.”

M/V Rachel Corrie, an Irish-owned boat laden with humanitarian supplies is continuing its journey towards Gaza despite Israel’s insistence it will not allow any vessel break its blockade on the territory.
The MV Rachel Corrie, which has five Irish citizens aboard, including Nobel peace laureate Mairéad Corrigan-Maguire and former UN official Denis Halliday, is currently in Libyan waters some 640 km (400 miles) from Gaza.
The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign tonight dismissed some reports that the boat was due to dock in Turkey and insisted it intends to maintain course with no stops until it reaches the Gazan port.

AMERICAN PROTESTER MAIMED
Emily Henochowicz, 21, a U.S. citizen who studied art in Jerusalem and New York and whose Israel-born father is a prominent medical doctor in the Washington, D.C. area, was shot directly in the face with a tear gas canister by Israeli police as she demonstrated non-violently near Jerusalem against the massacre of civilians bringing aid to the besieged and blockaded population of Gaza.
A Palestinian woman reacts as she holds a cloth to the face of Emily Henochowicz, 21, of Maryland who was hit in the face and eye by a tear gas canister shot by an Israeli border policeman at the Kalandia checkpoint between Jerusalem and Ramallah. Jonathan Pollak, who witnessed the incident, said Henochowicz did not participate in any violence and was standing at a safe distance from Palestinian activists.
The moment Emily was shot in the face. From the cars in the background one can see that Emily was not on the frontline of a confrontation, but had been targeted by a soldier shooting tear gas canisters.
After being shot, Emily is aided by Palestinians.
Emily was apparently targeted (a common practice among Israeli soldiers). She lost her left eye. “They clearly saw us,” said Sören Johanssen, a Swedish ISM volunteer standing with Henochowicz. “They clearly saw that we were internationals and it really looked as though they were trying to hit us. They fired many canisters at us in rapid succession. One landed on either side of Emily, then the third one hit her in the face.” Henochowicz is an art student at the prestigious Cooper Union, located in East Village, Manhattan. Her father, Dr. Stuart I. Henochowicz is an Israeli-American who was born in Tel Aviv in 1956. Emily has a personal blog entitled Thirsty Pixels. It is an uncanny coincidence that the picture for Emily’s “A Visual Adventure” blog is an eye.

The World Protests Israel’s Murder, Piracy, and Blockade of Gaza
“They shot people who were sleeping.”
Henning Mankell of Sweden
Aftonbladet, 2 June 2010
“They were executed. Shot in their foreheads.”
“I am mourning my friends who were murdered and my thoughts are with their families…In at least four cases the victims were executed. They were shot in the forehead, in the back of the head, and in the chest.” (He said the Israeli commandos were shooting live rounds at the passengers while they were still in the air, i.e. before landing on the ship.)
- Mattias Gardell, Swedish religious historian and spokesman for Ship to Gaza convoy, to Aftonbladet, 3 June 2010
The world has reacted with outrage to the Israeli action with demonstrations in nearly every nation. While the U.S. media and government have ignored the brutality and sheer criminality of the Israeli action, the rest of the world has not. There has been a massive and spontaneous global protest against the Israeli atrocity on the high seas. It seems that this is a turning point in the history of the Zionist state. The people of the world are simply fed up with the Israeli criminal regime. The tide of public opinion has turned against the state of Israel. The European press is calling for Israel to be isolated and the blockade of Gaza to be lifted.

Murder List carried by Israeli Commando who boarded the Gaza flotilla captured on video! (Not in english)
This video, posted on Internet Habar, shows scenes of carnage aboard the Marmara, and the “murder list” carried by one of the Israeli commandos. This list proves that the massacre of activists aboard the Marmara was premeditated. Israel has claimed that the killings were the result of violent resistance from the activists.
…
…
Turkey alleges that Israeli commandos had assassination lists.
Here is a transcript from the website Kawther Salam, which claims that a “death list” has been found from the attack on the Marmara. If this is true, then the Israelis clearly had every intention of murdering the protestors aboard the ship. Please note, this transcript has punctuation errors, they are the original writer’s not mine.
Turkish sources and media revealed a document which shows that a death list had been prepared in advance by the Israelis, showing names and pictures of people on board of the ships to be murdered, who, according to Israel, were “involved in the International humanitarian aid for Gaza”. According to the Turkish sources, hundreds of Israeli soldiers stormed the blue Turkish ship “Marmara” flotilla and they had copies of the death list. The list included the names of civilians on the fleet who should be killed”. The document was apparently recovered after one of the Israeli soldiers lost it during the piracy act.

Global Outrage as Israel Kills 20 on Aid Flotilla
(Written by Christopher Bollyn)
“This action, totally contrary to the principles of international law, is inhumane state terrorism. Nobody should think we will keep quiet in the face of this.”
- Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan
“As far as I can see, there is no legal basis for boarding these ships.”

Ehud Barak’s Lethal Attack on Aid Flotilla “A Gross Breach of International Law”.
…
…
At least 15 civilians were killed by Israeli forces on 31 May 2010 when the Israelis launched a pre-dawn commando raid on the international civilian aid flotilla headed for the blockaded population of Gaza. The Israeli raid occurred in international waters which makes it a “gross breach of international law”, as a statement from the Turkish Foreign Ministry noted.
…
…
Israeli forces have attacked a flotilla of aid-carrying ships aiming to break the country’s siege on Gaza. At least 15 people were killed and dozens injured when troops intercepted the convoy of ships dubbed the Freedom Flotilla early on Monday, the Israeli military said. The Israeli action, which is clearly illegal, was carried out under orders from Israel’s Minister of Defense Ehud Barak. Barak is also legally responsible for Israeli war crimes committed during Israel’s military assault on the Gaza Strip in late 2008 and early 2009. Barak is also suspected of being the Israeli mastermind behind the false-flag terror attacks of 9-11.
The use of lethal force on the high-profile civilian aid flotilla is not unusual or unexpected. It is actually a typical Israeli response to peaceful actions taken to help the beseiged Palestinian population. The murder of the young American Rachel Corrie with an Israeli military bulldozer in March 2003 comes to mind. Rachel, age 23, was peacefully trying to prevent the Israeli military from bulldozing the home of a Palestinian pharmacist in the Gaza Strip when she was killed – with the blade and tracks of the monstrous machine.
Rachel Corrie from Olympia, Washington was killed in cold blood by the Israeli military in Gaza Strip in 2003, an outrageous Israeli crime that has gone unpunished. One of the vessels in the Gaza aid flotilla is named after Rachel.
The current Israeli leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak is a government of dangerous Zionist extremists which prefers violence to talking peace. In April 2010 I warned that Netanyahu and Barak are likely to react with an act of terrorism in the face of international criticism:
The fact that the U.S. and the international community have now clearly condemned illegal Israeli settlements is piling pressure on Netanyahu and his government of extremists. The crucial question now is how will Netanyahu respond to this pressure? This is a dangerous situation because Zionist zealots, when pressed to make compromises for peace, usually react with violence and terrorism.
- “Fearing 9-11 Protests Netanyahu Cancels U.S. Visit”
The flotilla was attacked in international waters, 65km off the Gaza coast. The Israeli action is clearly an act of piracy on the high seas, not unlike what happens in the waters off the Horn of Africa, in which hundreds of international civilians have been taken hostage. The Israelis had plenty of time to prepare for a legal and non-violent response when the flotilla reached Gaza, or even territorial waters off the coast of Gaza, but instead of being sensible they chose to launch an illegal military raid with live ammunition under the cover of darkness — in international waters.
It makes no sense at all to a normal person, but Ehud Barak, the head of the Israeli military is certainly not a normal person. The Israeli action against the aid convoy seems counter-productive and even suicidal, but one needs to remember that Israel does not follow normal logic, but prefers to employ the Anti-logic of the Madman – the Madman who is never disciplined or reined in. Israel is a state in which blood-thirsty and violent people like Charles Manson are not locked up, but are promoted in the military and given high positions in the Zionist state – an outlaw state of nuclear-armed pirates.
Ehud Barak, the Israeli military chief implicated in the false-flag terrorism of 9-11, is what Socrates would call an utterly immoral arch-criminal, who successfully avoids being criticized and disciplined and punished for his crimes. The arch-criminal’s success in avoiding punishment is, however, not at all to his benefit, as Socrates says: “The worst thing in the world, the supreme curse, is to do wrong and not pay the penalty for it.”
Barak and Netanyahu, like President of Israel Shimon Peres, are actually completely amoral arch-criminals (i.e. Zionist pragmatists) who would have been dragged into the international court in the Hague many years ago if they had come from any other nation than Israel. The failure by the international community to punish Israeli criminals over the decades is to blame for the crimes it continues to commit. How do Israelis benefit from belonging to a state that is hated for its cruelty and crimes? How do Jews around the world benefit from being associated with such a pariah state?
Footage from the flotilla’s lead vessel, the Mavi Marmara, showed armed Israeli soldiers boarding the ship and helicopters flying overhead. Al Jazeera’s Jamal Elshayyal, on board the Mavi Marmara, said Israeli troops had used live ammunition during the operation.
- Greta Berlin, one of the flotilla organisers, rejecting Israel’s claim that the activists were the first ones to start shooting. Berlin said there were no weapons on board the boats, and that any violence from the activists would have been in self-defense.
“Only a crazy government that has lost all restraint and all connection to reality could do something like that – consider ships carrying humanitarian aid and peace activists from around the world as an enemy and send massive military force to international waters to attack them — shoot and kill.”
- Uri Avnery, former Member of the Knesset, Israel, Gush Shalom Movement
- Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
- Saad Hariri, Prime Minister of Lebanon
“The interception on the convoy is unacceptable … Israel will have to bear the consequences of its actions. We strongly condemn it and await an immediate explanation. By targeting innocent civilians, Israel has once again clearly displayed that it does not value human lives and peaceful initiatives. We forcefully condemn these inhumane activities by Israel. The incident occurred on the open sea — which is a gross breach of international law — could cause irrevocable consequences for our relations. We wish to express our condolences to the bereaved families of the deceased, and swift recovery to the wounded.”
