Yes, You Are the Person of the Year!
By FRANK RICH
Published: December 24, 2006
  
TIME’S choice for 2006 Person of the Year — “You” — was a bountiful gift of 
mirth to America, second only to the championship Donald Trump-Rosie O’Donnell 
bout as a comic kickoff to the holiday season. The magazine’s cover stunt, a 
computer screen of Mylar reflecting the reader’s own image, was so hokey that 
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert merely had to display it on camera to score 
laughs. The magazine’s disingenuous rationale for bestowing its yearly honor on 
its readers was like a big wet kiss from a distant relative who creeps you out.
   
  According to Time, “You” deserve to be Person of the Year because you — “yes, 
you,” as the cover puts it — “control the Information Age” and spend a lot of 
time watching YouTube and blogging instead of, well, reading dead-tree media 
like Time. The pronouncements ginned up to inflate this theme include the 
observation that “Thomas Paine was in effect the first blogger” (which 
presumably makes the Old Testament in effect the first Facebook). The 
desperation of Time to appear relevant and hip — “fantastically cutting-edge 
and New Media,” as Nora Ephron put it in a hilarious essay for The Huffington 
Post — was embarrassing in its nakedness.
   
  And sad.

Re: [cia-drugs] Re: Fwd: Ted Gunderson: A Treatise of Lies

2006-12-24 Thread Linda Minor
One obvious lie was that Gunderson married LaVey's former wife.  The 
website [http://www.stewwebb.com/Ted%20Gunderson.html] says her name was 
Rachel, whereas Anton LaVey was married twice, once to Carole and once 
to Diane [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0491990/], with a third companion 
named Blanche.


http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0491989/bio
Biography for
Anton LaVey

Birth name
   Howard Stanton Levee


Anton Szandor LaVey was born April 11, 1930 to Joseph and Augusta 
LaVey. His father was a liquor salesman. They soon moved to the San 
Francisco, California area. The name LaVey came from an immigrant 
ancestor who in passing through Ellis Island was given the name of his 
place of origin, Levey, France.


Known as Tony, he showed early musical talent, and received musical 
training. He was always an outsider. He left home after an incident 
where another youth knifed his face and Tony fought back. He joined 
circuses and carnivals, learned carny jobs and to play the calliope. He 
knew Clyde Beatty and Tim McCoy. He played organ for burlesque, and had 
a short affair with Marilyn Monroe.


He left Los Angeles and returned to San Francisco where he continued as 
an organist and became a police photographer. He married Carole and 
started his Magic Circle meetings. He later left Carole for even more 
beautiful Diane.


There is a tape circulating of an episode of the local TV program The 
Wonderful World of Brother Buzz, narrated by Pat MacCormick, which 
centers on LaVey's lion Togare, but also shows the life of his 
wonderful normal family with wife Diane, and daughters Karla (by first 
wife Carole) and Zeena, as well as many animals, who lived in the soon 
to be famous Black House. At that time Anton was a psychic investigator. 
He and Diane founded the Church of Satan as a partnership in 1966. It 
was the world's first openly acknowledged Satanic Church. Anton was 
spokesman and still remains the very image of Satan and Satanism. High 
Priestess Diane LaVey was equally Satanic but performed the role of good 
wife and church administrator.


Soon followed the first public Satanic wedding, then a first baptism 
(for their daughter Zeena) and first Satanic funeral. This period of 
public rituals, about 1967-70, generated intense worldwide publicity and 
growth in membership. The movie Satanis (1970) allowed Anton to espouse 
many of his views, and shows the church at that time. The LaVey's 
associated with many famous and accomplished people, particularly 
actors, writers and circus people. Among them were Jayne Mansfield, 
Sammy Davis Jr., Kenneth Anger, Forrest J Ackerman, Joseph Cotten, 
Barbara McNair, Elke Sommer, Keenan Wynn, and directors Milo O. Frank 
Jr. and Robert Fuest.


Anton authored several well-known books on Satanism and witchcraft. Most 
of what he's told about himself is true as he saw it through his own 
biases, although he did not tell all. It was NOT a self-created legend 
as charged by critics. As with many '60s celebrities who were private 
people there was a burnout factor. Press distortion, harassment from 
many quarters, including gunshots, vandalism and pestering fans caused 
him to withdraw from most public activities in his last 20 years. Speak 
of the Devil (1995) (V) once again gave him a chance to express his 
views on film. He had a son Xerxes with his _last companion and 
successor to the church leadership, Blanche Barton_. He was able to 
spend some time with his grandson, Zeena's son Stanton LaVey. Many 
fascinating details of his life are still unknown to the public, and 
some points have been argued back and forth by those who do not know.


   There is much to be learned about his activities with Jayne 
Mansfield and Sammy Davis Jr., and the _making of The Devil's Rain 
(1975) with Director Fuest and William Shatner, John Travolta, Tom 
Skerritt, Ernest Borgnine and others_. 
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072869/]  He was a kindly man, who was 
particularly protective of animals and children, but as a human also had 
a dark side. Being physically strong he almost killed once or twice with 
his bare hands. He was philosophically an outlaw and heretic. His 
influence remains great. He was a multi-talented, elitist, private 
person. He held on to much from the past, yet was also ahead of his 
time, a forerunner of among other things heavy-metal, Satanic rock, 
vampire and goth cultures.

Prodi's problems

By LISA PALMIERI-BILLIG
Jerusalem Post, December 13, 2006
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite? 
cid=1164881879697pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull


ROME
The Prodi government, which squeaked by then-prime minister Silvio  
Berlusconi's right wing coalition in April's election, has more to  
worry about than the Mideast; it faces a broad array of domestic  
unrest.
Enrico Deaglio, editor-in-chief of the magazine Diario, recently  
released a video accusing the Right of manipulating a computer  
system to falsify the election results.


The Prodi alliance won by 24,000 votes over Berlusconi's House of  
Liberty.  The Center-Left majority now has 158 seats in the Senate  
while the opposition has 156. There is also one independent senator.


The Deaglio expose has led Parliament to call for a recount of  
1,093,277 allegedly invalid votes.


Berlusconi, for his part, is calling for a recount of all ballots,  
including those cast by Italians living abroad, where the  
procedures were sometimes shaky, in the hope that evidence will be  
found to support his post-election statement that he was the real  
victor.


There is also widespread dissatisfaction with Prodi's new tax laws,  
which cut benefits for many categories of employee.


And then there is the Italian connection to the murder by radiation  
poisoning of Russian ex-KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko.


Mario Scaramella, the enigmatic Italian who met with Litvinenko in  
London on the day of his poisoning (Scaramella was slightly  
contaminated) had served on the 2002 Mitrokhin Commission, which  
examined the Italian section of 300,000 files delivered to the UK  
by former KGB archivist Vasilif Mitrokhin.


The commission never issued a final report and the files were never  
made public. Thirty-four distinguished historians have appealed for  
access to the files.


In every democratic system free research by scholars and  
intellectuals is a necessary counterbalance to make sure that the  
use of documents in ascertaining the truth regarding the past of  
the nation does not depend exclusively on the outcome of political  
competition, they wrote to legislative leaders.


They said that while Nazis and fascists have been tried starting  
two generations ago, the identities and crimes of Communist  
collaborators in Italy have not been addressed.


Italy is also struggling with issues of Church and State. Laws  
regarding euthanasia, legal rights for unmarried straight and same- 
sex couples, as well as illegal immigration and integrating new  
arrivals, generate daily debates that cut across party lines and  
are partially responsible for the inability of coalition and  
opposition parties to agree on principles that would allow them to  
form, respectively, a Democratic Party that could join the  
European Socialist block, and a Moderate-Center party.

This retired admiral has worn many caps
By MATTHEW C. WRIGHT
Washington Post

AUSTIN — As if three decades working in naval intelligence, running
the National Security Agency and serving as deputy director of the CIA
were not enough, retired Adm. Bobby Ray Inman decided he wanted a
second career.

I found I have a fairly low threshold of boredom, Inman, 75, said in
his downtown office.

Inman left Washington in 1982 to try my hand at business, he said.
I wanted to see if the things that worked in running large
organizations in the public sector ... were transferable.

Two decades later, Inman is a successful venture capitalist. He has a
corner office at Gefinor Ventures, where he is managing director, that
looks north toward the University of Texas. There, Inman has another
office and, in effect, a third career.

In 2001, after teaching pro bono for several years, Inman became a
tenured professor at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs,
where he teaches international relations.

No matter the job title, his work has always been tied to monitoring
politics and events around the world. Analyzing political risk was
the contribution I brought to companies, Inman said.

It is a contribution he has made in more than a few boardrooms.

Inman said he has invested in 43 early-stage companies.

He currently oversees four, in different parts of the country, as part
of his duties at Gefinor.

He originally landed in Austin about a year after leaving the CIA, as
head of a consortium of 12 leading computer companies in the country's
first large-scale joint research project.

He quit the post in 1986 but stayed in the city, taking over a holding
company for defense industry acquisitions.

That, in 1998, led to his co-founding Gefinor.

Today he sits on several boards, including the Greater Austin Crime
Commission.

It might sound like a far cry from dealing with a seemingly monolithic
intelligence agency, but Inman said he is used to managing many  
projects.


I was involved in so many different things when I was running NSA,
he said, such as overseeing research labs, procurement budgets,
international crises, and dealing with Congress and the White House.

These days Inman keeps only one connection to the federal government,
a seat on the board at CNA Corp. (formerly known as the Center for
Naval Analyses), the Navy's think tank.

For a while, it seemed, Washington would come calling every few years.

After the bombing of the U.S. Embassy annex in Beirut, Inman led an
advisory panel that in 1985 suggested ways to make embassies more
secure. Eight years later, President Clinton nominated him to replace
Les Aspin as defense secretary.

But Inman asked to be withdrawn from consideration, citing
rush-to-judgment distortions of my record, my character and my
reputation.

He has rarely been called upon since.

This year he made news as one of the highest-profile former
intelligence officials to criticize President Bush's warrantless
domestic wiretaps.

Inman is still gathering intelligence for his various jobs, but now he
does it like every other citizen: through the media and the Internet.

I am less knowledgeable, but I can still pretty broadly track what's
going on, he said. And I don't have to worry when I get into
conversation that I'm going to accidentally reveal something that
could be damaging to sources.

Sure I voted! Here's my purple finger! Getting a
finger dyed purple is one way that election
authorities fight any possibility of fraud. On
election day, Venezuelans take pride in their purple
fingers! PWW photo by Jim Lane.

CARACAS, Venezuela When Venezuelan President Hugo
Chavez trounced his U.S.-backed opponent to win a
second six-year term on Dec. 3, we were there.

The alarm went off at 2:45 a.m. It was election day,
and it was time to head to the polls. We were 16 labor
and peace activists from the United States, including
a six-member delegation from the Communist Party USA,
who were among the hundreds of official and unofficial
international observers of Venezuela's presidential
election. Tim Yeager from 
Illinois and I had volunteered for the early shift.

We arrived at the voting station at 3 a.m. with
Roraima Segura, a young mother of two who was
assisting our delegation. She had wanted to 
ensure she’d be near the front when the polls opened
at 7, and she was but several hundred people were
already in front of her. Some had begun their wait at
9 p.m. the previous evening, 11 hours before the polls
opened.

By the time we left at 5 a.m., well over a thousand
people were already in line. Why did they arrive so
early? Alirio Jose Perez, directly in front of Segura,
said it was because under Chavez a democratization of
Venezuelan life, along with mass education and health
campaigns, has given people a stake in their country.

As we talked, a flatbed truck full of youthful members
of the Communist Party of Venezuela, with their party
flags flying, drove by. Their calls for the election
of Chavez were met with spontaneous cheers from the
crowd. The Communist Party had its own line on the
ballot with Chavez as its presidential candidate. We
later learned that in Caracas the CPV was the third
largest vote-getter, and in the nation it was fourth.
Chavez's name appeared on the ballot of at least 23
parties.

The polling station where we were, near the Bellas
Artes Metro station, is one of the largest polling
places in the city. Altogether, it was expected that
over 12,000 people would vote there.

We are at a special point in the history of Venezuela,
said Daniel Leonard, a bank worker who was about 100th
in line. This election will change the history of
Venezuela and all of Latin America. The 
missions [social service agencies initiated by the
Bolivarian government that work to meet people's needs
such as education and health care] 
benefit all of the people and they have changed
people's thinking, Leonard said. He added, The oil
wealth of the country is now being 
used for the people.

Leonard predicted a big margin of victory for Chavez.
He observed that people think the good intentions of
Simon Bolivar in Venezuela and George Washington in
the U.S. were lost by presidents who came after them, 
and that in Venezuela they are returning to Bolivar's
concept of putting the interests of the poor before
the rich oligarchy.

As we neared the front of the line, we met Daniel
Televera Montero, a restaurant worker, who had arrived
shortly after 9 p.m. the night before. Televera comes
from Zulia, the state where Manuel Rosales, Chavez's
opponent, had been governor until he stepped down to
run for president. Although his parents still live in
Zulia, Televera said his entire 
family is voting for Chavez.

At the front of the line and showing great enthusiasm
though they had already been standing for many hours
were a group of young women. As we talked, a large
convoy of cars and pick-up trucks went by with people
clapping and singing for Chavez. The voters responded
with their own set of cheers.

The people today are very happy, said Fina Garcia, who
works in the office of Caracas Mayor Freddy Bernal.
She told us she had participated in many peace
demonstrations against the Iraq war in Caracas. I did
not give birth to a son so he can die in war, (hey's,
that's our Quaker reason for having invented Mohter's
day! -ed)  she said. Garcia said the Venezuelan people
love the people of the U.S. and understand that a
majority opposes the policies of President Bush.

Our delegation spent the day studying the mechanics of
democracy in Venezuela. We familiarized ourselves with
every point of their electoral process. As evening
came, the polls closed one by one as the lined-up
voters completed their task.

We rejoined Roraima Segura and her family as they
settled around the television to watch the results. As
soon as the election commission announced Chavez's
landslide victory, 61 percent to 38 percent, the day's
general merriment reached an ecstatic climax. From
Segura's window, we watched fireworks going off all
over town and listened to the horns honking and the
whistles of celebrants on the rainy streets below.

Iran War for Dollar Hegemony
by Jurgen Wagner Tuesday, Jun. 27, 2006 at 9:18 AM
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 

  The run on the US currency has already begun. Preventing the IOB may help 
explain the extreme aggressiveness of the US toward Iran. Mending our own 
pockets and recalibrating energy and security policies are more sensible than 
the Bush doctrine, invading and colonizing countries for US politico-economic 
interests.

IRAN WAR FOR DOLLAR HEGEMONY 

By Jurgen Wagner 

[This article published in: Friedensjournal Nr 3, May 2006 is translated from 
the German on the World Wide Web, 
http://www.uni-kassel.de/fb5/frieden/regionen/fran/dollar.html. Jurgen Wagner 
is director of the Tubingen Information on Militarization Institute (IMO).] 




The aggressiveness of US war policy has triggered discussions within the left 
about the driving forces of this offensiveness. In this context, the thesis is 
often defended in view of the obvious war preparations against Iran that the 
war against terror is essentially nothing but a crusade to maintain the 
dollar hegemony. The mass medias try to either ignore or make fun of this theme 
(e.g. Spiegel, 3/10/2006). What is involved is merely an implausible legend 
of conspiracy theoreticians. While mono-causal explanations should be avoided, 
there are good reasons for giving more attention to this legend. 

THE TRIBUTE SYSTEM OF THE US EMPIRE 

Two members of George W. Bush's party, his former Secretary of the Treasury 
Paul O'Neill and Representative Ron Paul, are chief witnesses for the 
connection of monetary- and war policy. In an interview, O'Neill gave revealing 
insights into the mentality of the Bush administration. When he spoke out 
internally against more tax cuts since they would further enlarge the gigantic 
US deficit, he was reprimanded by Vice-president Dick Cheney as follows: You 
know Paul, Reagan proved deficits aren't important. The significance of this 
sentence cannot be overrated. Common sense says that whoever imports (consumes) 
more goods than he exports (produces) engenders a balance of trade deficit that 
cannot be endlessly financed through indebtedness since the creditors will 
refuse some time or other. 

In fact, this happened at the beginning of the 1970s when expenses for the 
Vietnam War led to a rapidly inflated indebtedness of the United States. As a 
result, Washington could not maintain exchanging the dollar for gold at a fixed 
exchange rate ($35 per ounce) guaranteed up to this time. Since then, the 
dollar has been nothing but a piece of paper, a currency without any backing. 

Only two options existed at that time. If a radical revitalization and drastic 
military disarmament were refused, a possibility had to be found for becoming 
endlessly indebted so states would need to buy dollar reserves or US treasury 
notes. Henry Kissinger, the architect of the modern American tribute system, 
found the following solution. In exchange for the security of US rule - and 
with massive aggressive threats - Kissinger induced the Saudi royal house to 
calculate its oil in dollars. The other Opec states joined so the two central 
trading centers for oil and gas, the International Petroleum Exchange (IPE) in 
London and the New York NYMEX are both based on the dollar. This mechanism 
leads to a gigantic demand for dollars and supports the role of the greenback 
as the leading world currency. Everyone accepts dollars to buy oil. (Asia 
Times, 4/11/2002). 

As long as dollars are demanded, the US can become indebted almost at will 
without having to declare bankruptcy. Any other state with comparable 
statistics would be forced to declare bankruptcy. In a speech before the House 
of Representatives (2/15/2006), the republican representative Ron Paul clearly 
described the functioning of the US tribute system: Our whole economic system 
depends on the present recycling system. We borrow $700 billion annually from 
our generous benefactors who work hard and accept our dollar bills for their 
products. We borrow all the money we need for the security of the empire 
(defense budget $450 billion) and more. The military power that we enjoy 
becomes the support of our currency. Maintaining the dollar-oil relation and 
securing it as the dominant currency is most important. Any attack on this 
relation will be powerfully defeated - as has always happened. Does the 
currency question play a role regarding the offensive plans against Iran? 

IS THE IRANIAN OIL BOURSE THE END OF PETRODOLLAR IMPERIALISM? 

For the first time, a serious alternative to the dollar exists in the euro. The 
run on the US currency has already begun. More and more countries - 
particularly Russia and China - systematically rearrange their currency 
reserves. The falling demand for dollars is a logical consequence. Some recent 
headlines show the greenback has lost considerable value and is under massive 
pressure: The Asian

Putin to remain leader after leaving Kremlin: senior politician

President Vladimir Putin will retain a leadership role in Russia even if he 
steps down in 2008, as required by the constitution, a senior politician has 
said. 
He will not leave, Sergei Stepashin, head of Russia's accounting chamber, was 
quoted as saying in the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily Saturday. I think he will 
find the kind of formula in which he would step down, but stay on. 

 

Stepashin, a former prime minister, secret services chief and KGB veteran, 
suggested that Putin's post-Kremlin future could be modelled loosely on that of 
Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, who in the 1990s was widely considered to retain 
backroom power despite his retirement. 

Asked what sort of options Putin might consider, Stepashin answered: Lots. 
Party leader, head of parliament, government, a new state council. 

Putin has repeatedly vowed to respect the constitution and leave office at the 
end of his second four-year term in 2008. However, he has also said that he 
hopes to retain influence. 

According to Stepashin, Putin's departure would be a blow. He is right and not 
right. There is a dilemma. From the political view, he should stay. Not only 
because the work is all going well. Any new leader brings a new team. At a 
minimum, this causes a break in momentum. 

Putin, another KGB veteran whom critics accuse of rolling back democracy and 
crushing independent media, became president in 2000. Polls show that he is 
hugely popular in Russia.

Then there is the mature man that was told what a wonderful farm the good Lord 
had given him with orchards, gardens, deep well and rock house. Shaking his 
head, he replied, You should have seen the place when the Lord had it to 
himself.

Most believe we have the right to our opinions, I would argue that it is more 
important that our opinions be right.

MY CHRISTMAS GREETING
Please allow me to join your family and friends in wishing you a very blessed 
and Merry Christmas. Along with many others, I am praying that God will 
continue to shower His protection and provision upon our land.

As a nation, we have drifted very far from the principles upon which our 
country was founded. I doubt that Washington and Jefferson would even recognize 
what their posterity has done to what was once a constitutional republic. I am 
old enough to say that I don't even recognize my country anymore. We don't 
deserve God's protective hand, that is for sure. However, as God would have 
spared Sodom for the sake of ten righteous souls, I am praying that there are 
yet enough truly righteous men and women in these United States that God will 
be pleased to spare us.

Stop Blaming Theology For Your Apathy
I know dispensationalists who will excuse their apathy by saying, It's the 
last days, and there is nothing we can do about it. Or, This is just prophecy 
being fulfilled; we can't stop it.

Maybe... The Best 911 Explanation Available
Well, the end game was this: Flight 93 was to land on the Whitehouse. You see, 
under US law at the time, if that happened, it would be martial law in the US 
and under those conditions, the entire 911 plot could have been completely 
tidied up, all the evidence buried.

VIDEO: Bush Knew 9/11 Was Coming
It's been categorically proven that the Bush Administration knew 9/11 was 
coming. They knew the exact date, the exact place, and the exact means, and 
still, even while it was in progress, did nothing to stop it. During and after 
9/11, they told the public that the reason they took no action to halt the 
attacks or warn the people in tower 2 was that they were caught by surprise

Appeal for Redress From the War in Iraq
As a patriotic American proud to serve the nation in uniform, I respectfully 
urge my political leaders in Congress to support the prompt withdrawal of all 
American military forces and bases from Iraq. Staying in Iraq will not work and 
is not worth the price. It is time for U.S. troops to come home.

Iraq's Death Squads: An Instrument Of The Occupation
The U.S. did not invade Iraq to establish democracy and free Iraqis. The 
U.S. invaded and destroyed Iraq in order to humiliate and divide Muslims - 
Arabs in particular -, protect Israel's Zionist expansion and control Iraq's 
natural wealth. So, the U.S.-imposed democracy by force is fraud. 'Democracy is 
like a plant; it grows from bottom up, not from top down'.

Gates visited Baghdad to quell US soldiers mutiny in Anbar, US imminent attack 
on Ramadi soon




  December 24, 2006

  According almoharrer newspaper quoting an Iraqi Military sources

  Iraqi military sources told the newspaper that the reason that the 
American Secretary of Defense Robert Gates visited Baghdad urgently after two 
days he received his new post as a Defense Minister; is to extinguish a 
military mutiny carried out by American VI battalion based in Anbar, after 
refusing to obey orders and prefer not to leave their base in Ramadi, the 
capital of Anbar province.

  The sources pointed out that the US military base is exposed to daily 
heavy tactical attacks and attempts to storm the walls of the base by Iraqi 
resistance.

  The sources added that Washington and specifically Military, and 
intelligence in the American Congress, designedly sending Gates to rectify the 
mistakes that were made by his predecessor Ramsifeld and the most serious is; 
the American soldiers surrendering to the Iraqi resistance in Ramadi, which is 
what happened a month and a half before, while Iraqi resistance clashed with 
American patrol and managed to burn their military vehicle, US soldiers had no 
choice but surrender and hope for safety. 

  With a help of an interpreter, the American POW explained they do not 
wish to fight the Iraqis and asked their captors to help them to smuggle them 
to Turkey across Mosul, Syria-Iraq borders  in order to request political 
asylum.

  Also reported by Qudspress that a mass exodus take place right now in the 
city of Ramadi after reports of an imminent American attack on the city 
following the visit of the American Secretary of Defense Robert Gates to Iraq. 

  The city filled with people searching for taxis and trucks to flee the 
city, bringing with them some simple belongings, especially after the American 
forces announced to the residents of Al Althelh and Al-Mulameen, the need to 
leave and evacuate their homes.

  US forces took control of many houses in the area by force. It also 
closed schools in the city after electricity was lost completely. American 
forces also cut off water from the city center, with the continued armed 
confrontations between the American forces and Iraqi resistance in the city.

  Jews for Ahmadinejad By ALAN DERSHOWITZ
  click here to complain to the editors of JPOST over this slanderous 
fevered writings.
  Just because it is a blog, its not kosher to publish infantile slander.

  or SKIP THIS futile exercise and read some excellent BOYLE WRITINGS:

  The following is the first post of a new JPost.com blog featuring leading 
American attorney and stalwart defender of Israel Alan Dershowitz 

  By this time, everyone knows that Jews for Jesus are not really Jews. 
They are Christians using the cover of their Jewish origin to fool people into 
coming to their proselytizing services. But many people still think that the 
seven bearded enemies of Israel - members of an extreme cult called Neturei 
Karta - who accepted an invitation from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad 
to come to Iran's Holocaust denial festival, are also real Jews. 

  Still others believe that supporters of Hizbullah and Holocaust 
minimizers like Norman Finkelstein - who uses his Jewish birth to cover for his 
anti-Semitism - are real Jews. Nothing could be further from the truth, and I 
now propose a new vocabulary for describing these imposters. From now on, the 
Neturei Karta should be known as Jews for Ahmadinejad, and Norman Finkelstein 
and his ilk should be known now as Jews for Hizbullah. 

  The Neturei Karta describe themselves as part of the Orthodox Jews 
United Against Zionism. In reality, they are a tiny sect that is unwilling to 
recognize Israel's right to exist as a secular state. According to the Neturei 
Karta, Jews may not reoccupy Jerusalem until the Messiah arrives and God 
explicitly allows the establishment of a Jewish nation grounded in halacha, or 
Jewish religious law. 

  The Neturei Karta are so incensed by a secular Israel that their 
principal mission is to align themselves with people and organizations such as 
Yasser Arafat, Hizbullah, and Ahmadinejad in order to do whatever they can to 
help eliminate Israel. They number no more than a few thousand people. 

  Noam Chomsky probably deserves a category all his own. In light of his 
having written an introduction to a book by Holocaust denier Robert Faurisson - 
who also spoke at the Iranian hate-fest - Chomsky should now be known as a Jew 
for Holocaust Deniers. Chomsky has claimed that he was only defending 
Faurisson's freedom of speech, but that defense rings hollow. 

  In the first place, Chomsky is not remotely a civil libertarian. Civil 
libertarians defend everyone's freedom of speech and conscience, whether they 
agree with the content of that speech or not. Chomsky, on the other hand, 
defends only those with whom he agrees. 

  Second, Chomsky did, in fact, defend the substance of Faurisson's 
Holocaust denial. He called Faurisson as a sort of relatively apolitical 
liberal, praised his extensive historical research, and characterized his 
assertions about the Holocaust as historical findings. He also said that he 
did not see any hint of anti-Semitic implications in Faurisson's claim that 
the so-called Holocaust was a fraud perpetrated by the Jewish people. 

  Finkelstein's wholehearted hatred of Jews and support for Hizbullah is 
well documented and easily accessible. He is a denouncer of all Holocaust 
victims -calling survivors frauds and hucksters - while appropriating Nazi 
language himself when he characterizes American Jews as parasites. He wears 
his vileness on his sleeve. For a quick overview of his positions, please see a 
chapter of my book The Case for Peace. 

  Just like consumers of food and tobacco products must be warned by 
labels, so too, consumers of propaganda should be warned by appropriate 
labeling. And just as a person can renounce his citizenship by deed or word, so 
too can a person renounce his ethnicity in the same manner. I hope my labeling 
of anti-Semites of Jewish heritage will put to rest any misconceptions that
