Israel Prohibits Charity In Gaza


The News: Thug Staat Israel has prohibited the following organizations from doing relief work in Gaza or 60 pc of the West Bank: Oxfam, Save the Children, Doctors Without Borders, Terre des Hommes, Handicap International and the Religious Society of Friends (a Quaker organization).


The Note: It's amazing how people have been trained to weep, moan, tear their hair out and crap in their pants when they hear the word "holocost" ... and at the same time turn a blind eye and a deaf ear the sobs of genocide being carried out in plain view in gaza.

Leader at the Eleventh Hour


The News:
"President Obama has taken full control of the health care negotiations.... spen[ding] more than six hours with Democratic leaders on Wednesday..." (NYT) "It was always our sense that once the bills were passed that he would have to play a much more direct role in helping work out the details,” his senior adviser, David Axlerod said in an interview, “This has been a prodigious task from start to finish; we knew it would be.”

The Note: This is truly choice. After single payer was ruled out in committee, after the public option died on the Senate floor, after Big Pharma got a 12 year monopoly on all drugs, after Big Insure got a guaranteed income flow with no cap on premiums and after the "efficiency" axe is applied to Medicare, Our President takes "full control" of the legislative process. Will he tap dance too?

Of course there is nothing of substance to take control of at this stage. The bill is a debacle... if, that is, one wanted universal health care for all Americans. That is the one thing no version of the bill does or will provide. So called "health care reform" turns out to be yet another wretched and revolting example of Obama's Neo-Trickledown © -- massive shovelling of monies in the direction of Big Corp. Only this time our pockets get to be plundered directly. A mafia shakedown would be as good.

Ever prioritizing her own political butt, Sen. Feinstein made known that opposition to the bill is running 4 to 1 in her bailiwick (California) and that she is withholding her vote until she see's what's up. No doubt the rest of the Congressional gaggle of Butts-Are-Us, have turned their noses to the wind as well.

Of course, had these congressoids actually put any moxy into serving the public's interest they might be riding a wave of support for efforts well done. But that is not what corporate whores exist for. I hope Feinstein and her co-ilks vote against the bill and then get voted out of office for having made the fiasco possible.

As for our Eleventh Hour Leader? It is truly amazing how such a bright boy turned out to be such a pathetic excuse for a politician. Then again, once one realizes what his real agenda was and for whom, he has turned out to be quite crafty... in a lying two faced way.

What Happens when Quisling Gives Up?


The News:
Commenting on the Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas's pre-emptive resignation, Danny Alayon, Israel's Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs, commented, "We don't interfere in others' internal affairs... But it is evident that Israel and the United States are interested in a Palestinian leadership that is responsible and pragmatic." Not interfering, of course, Israeli president Shimon Peres called Abbas a day before his announcement and tried to persuade him to change his mind. Haaretz reported him as telling Abbas, "If you leave, the Palestinians would lose their chance for an independent state."

The Note: It is evident that Israel and its tag-along are interested in a Facade that will allow the de-facto annexation of the West Bank under the pretence of supervised Palestinian autonomy pending some eventual hologram of statehood. Ersatz Palestine within Eretz Israel.

Endless negotiations with a Steppinfechit, a Quisling, a propped-up nobody, is the slow but convenient "road map" to this end. The alternative would be another frank military onslaught which would expose to the world the murderous kernel of zionism. And what then? Who would play the counterpart? Surely somebody; someone depraved enough to assume the mantle of Quisling of Rubble. Doesn't sell very well, does it ? No no... the strategy is too risky. Better an abetting Abbas who will play Israel's game of drip drip drip until the world tires of the whole damn affair and let's Israel have the whole matzoh.

No doubt, there are those in Israel -- in the General Staff and on Jew-Only Roads -- who relish this turn of events. This Land is My Land is their Marseilles. But cooler, craftier heads will be racking their brains figuring out how to massage the denouement.

The contours are obvious. After having made it impossible to negotiate, the wail will go up that Earnest Israel has no one to negotiate with on the Perfidious Palestinian side. Anyone who wants a foretaste of what this song will sound like has but to listen to Bibi's self-commiserating aria at the U.N. "We have tried, and tried and tried, but what can we do....?"

The only thing more nauseating will be the sounds emanating from the inner partner on Israel's couch.

Insinews Strikes Again

The Blather:


IRAN 'HIDING UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR FACILITY'

Or so 'quoths' BBC.....

The Note: My oh my! And Iran supplied the photo too? Or perhaps it was taken from Special Agent Clouseau's hidden shoe heel camera.... Oh wait ! It's a clip from the remastered version of Metropolis. No! No! Wrong again, it's Albrecht's Forge from Bayreuth's latest futurama version of Das Rheingold

Nah....it's just rotten stench fobbing itself off as news. When "news" funnels (aka the Mudia) start to publish unattributed "illustrative" photos cribbed from some Hollywood cutting room and insinuating by their position that they are the real thing, we know that what we are being served is not news, probably not true and simply the stinking fish some political faction wants us to swallow whole.

Obama: Iran must act now!

Israel Calm but determined!

World on Alert....

Save the Badgers Condemns Underground....

Blah, blah, blah, YAWN.
