[CTRL] THE ISRAEL LOBBY STRIKES BACK
-Caveat Lector- THE ISRAEL LOBBY STRIKES BACK AT CRITICS http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/041306A.shtml NORMAN SOLOMON, TRUTHOUT - Weeks after a British magazine published a long article by two American professors titled "The Israel Lobby," the outrage continued to howl through mainstream US media. A Los Angeles Times op-ed article by Council on Foreign Relations senior fellow Max Boot helped to set a common tone. He condemned a working paper by professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt that was excerpted last month in the London Review of Books. The working paper, Boot proclaimed, is "nutty." And he strongly implied that the two professors - Mearsheimer at the University of Chicago and Walt at Harvard - are anti-Semitic. Many who went on the media attack did more than imply. On April 3, for instance, the same day that the Philadelphia Inquirer reprinted Boot's piece from the Los Angeles Times, a notably similar op-ed appeared in the Boston Herald under the headline "Anti-Semitic Paranoia at Harvard." And so it goes in the national media echo chamber. When a Johns Hopkins University professor weighed in last week on the op-ed page of the Washington Post, the headline was blunt: "Yes, It's Anti-Semitic." The piece flatly called the Mearsheimer-Walt essay "kooky academic work" - and "anti-Semitic." But nothing in the essay is anti-Semitic. ome of the analysis from Mearsheimer and Walt is arguable. A number of major factors affect Uncle Sam's Middle East policies in addition to pro-Israel pressures. But no one can credibly deny that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee is one of the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington, where politicians know that they can criticize Israel only at their political peril. Overall, the Mearsheimer-Walt essay makes many solid points about destructive aspects of US support for the Israeli government. Their assessments deserve serious consideration. For several decades, to the present moment, Israel's treatment of Palestinian people has amounted to methodical and despicable violations of human rights. Yet criticism of those policies from anyone (including American Jews such as myself) routinely results in accusations of anti-Jewish bigotry. The US media reaction to the essay by professors Mearsheimer and Walt provides just another bit of evidence that they were absolutely correct when they wrote: "Anyone who criticizes Israel's actions or argues that pro-Israel groups have significant influence over US Middle Eastern policy - an influence AIPAC celebrates - stands a good chance of being labeled an anti-Semite. Indeed, anyone who merely claims that there is an Israel Lobby runs the risk of being charged with anti-Semitism, even though the Israeli media refer to America's 'Jewish Lobby.' In other words, the Lobby first boasts of its influence and then attacks anyone who calls attention to it. It's a very effective tactic: anti-Semitism is something no one wants to be accused of." Sadly, few media outlets in the United States are willing to confront this "very effective tactic." Yet it must be challenged. As the London-based Financial Times editorialized on the first day of this month: "Moral blackmail - the fear that any criticism of Israeli policy and US support for it will lead to charges of anti-Semitism - is a powerful disincentive to publish dissenting views. It is also leading to the silencing of policy debate on American university campuses, partly as the result of targeted campaigns against the dissenters." The Financial Times editorial noted: "Reflexes that ordinarily spring automatically to the defense of open debate and free enquiry shut down - at least among much of America's political elite - once the subject turns to Israel, and above all the pro-Israel lobby's role in shaping US foreign policy." www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

Surely not. A centuries-old democratic constitution cannot be swept away. Basic human rights cannot be made abstract. Those who once comforted themselves that a Labour government would never commit such an epic crime in Iraq might now abandon a last delusion, that their freedom is inviolable. If they knew. The dying of freedom in Britain is not news. The pirouettes of the Prime Minister and his political twin, the Chancellor, are news, though of minimal public interest. Looking back to the 1930s, when social democracies were distracted and powerful cliques imposed their totalitarian ways by stealth and silence, the warning is clear. The Legislative and Regulatory Reform Bill has already passed its second parliamentary reading without interest to most Labour MPs and court journalists; yet it is utterly totalitarian in scope. It is presented by the government as a simple measure for streamlining deregulation, or "getting rid of red tape," yet the only red tape it will actually remove is that of parliamentary scrutiny of government legislation, including this remarkable bill. It will mean that the government can secretly change the Parliament Act, and the constitution and laws can be struck down by decree from Downing Street. Blair has demonstrated his taste for absolute power with his abuse of the royal prerogative, which he has used to bypass parliament in going to war and in dismissing landmark high court judgments, such as that which declared illegal the expulsion of the entire population of the Chagos Islands, now the site of an American military base. The new bill marks the end of true parliamentary democracy; in its effect, it is as significant as the U.S. Congress last year abandoning the Bill of Rights. Those who fail to hear these steps on the road to dictatorship should look at the government's plans for I.D. cards, described in its manifesto as "voluntary." They will be compulsory and worse. An I.D. card will be different from a driving licence or passport. It will be connected to a database called the NIR (National Identity Register), where your personal details will be stored. These will include your fingerprints, a scan of your iris, your residence status, and unlimited other details about your life.

The National Academy of Sciences studied these earth-penetrating nuclear weapons last year. They could “kill up to a million people or more if used in heavily populated areas,” concluded the report, which was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense. Physicians for Social Responsibility examined the risks of a more advanced buster-bunker weapon, and it eerily tabulated the toll from an attack on the underground nuclear facility in Esfahan, Iran. “Three million people would be killed by radiation within two weeks of the explosion, and 35 million people in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India, would be exposed to increased levels of cancer-causing radiation,” according to a summary of that study in the backgrounder by the Union of Concerned Scientists. While Congress last year denied funding for a new nuclear bunker-buster weapon, the Pentagon already has a stockpile of one such weapon in the arsenal: the B61-Mod11, according to Stephen Young, a senior analyst at the Federation of the American Scientists. That the Administration is considering using such a weapon against Iran is “horrifying and ludicrous,” says Young. But it is now Bush Administration doctrine to be able to use such weapons. The new “National Security Strategy of the United States of America,” which Bush unveiled in March, discusses the use of nuclear weapons in an offensive way. “Our deterrence strategy no longer rests primarily on the grim premise of inflicting devastating consequences on potential foes,” it states. “Both offenses and defenses are necessary. . . . Safe, credible, and reliable nuclear forces continue to play a critical role.” Even more explicit is the Pentagon’s draft of a revised doctrine for the use of nuclear weapons, which was revealed by Walter Pincus of The Washington Post last September. It envisions using nuclear weapons for “attacks on adversary installations including WMD, deep hardened bunkers containing chemical or biological weapons.” It says that the United States should be prepared to use nuclear weapons “if necessary to prevent” another country from using WMDs.This is a mere amplification of the Nuclear Posture Review of December 31, 2001, which stated: “Nuclear weapons could be employed against targets able to withstand non-nuclear attack (for example, deep underground bunkers or bio-weapon facilities).”If the United States used nuclear weapons against Iran, it would be violating the Nuclear NonProliferation Treaty, which prohibits nations that possess nuclear weapons from dropping them on nations that don’t.But in the Bush Administration, planning to do this is just “normal” behavior.And a million casualties or more?For Bush, that is evidently not a disqualification.© 2005 The Progressive www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] GUNDERSON ACKNOWLEDGES 3 FACTIONS
-Caveat Lector- Further confirmation of this view is provided by Anton Parks, a French author whose work has not been translated. There is a synopsis at a link at the www.openseti.org site: http://www.zeitlin.net/EndEnchantment/Secrets.html You might especially note this, which occurs near the end of the material at the website. There is a glossary of names (under Races)at the beginning and also at the specific link but the characters referred to are two races of reptilians. Status Report Perpetual War Note: Please refer to Races for additional information on the races discussed below. As will be explained in the continued unfolding of these Notes, there is an ancient and up-to-the-minute war going on between the descendants of the Anunna and the Kingú-Babbar... and humanity is caught in the middle of it! This may seem unlikely to some, but please read what Parks said about the matter in his Karmapolis interview: The reptilians have been in conflict among themselves for a very long time and this war is always a reality on Earth. The entire human race pays heavily for it! The Earth is of considerable strategic importance for the Gina'abul male caste. Current geopolitical events are not my specialty but the information available to me today, thanks to that which I received during ten long years, leads me to conclude the following: Since he is no longer in contact with his re-creators, the human being tries to give himself the impression of being master of his own history and destiny. He takes refuge in the official version constructed by the dominant authority, itself manipulated from the wings by the Gina'abul males The Anunna and their terrestrial descendants are at war with the royal Gina'abul called Kingú who believe themselves to be the owners of the Earth. This very ancient war [would] not have any effect on present-day humanity. However, the Gina'abul males use humanity as its cannon fodder -- humans who count, in their eyes, no more than the Á-DAM, who destroy each other for the two clans through skillfully-interposed conflicts. More simply, I think that the Anglo-American armed forces work for the Anunna faction and their direct descendants, while the royal Gina'abul used the Nordic countries to fight their blood-brother enemies. Those who consider themselves at the top of the Gina'abul social pyramid are the royals denominated Kingú-Babbar, that is to say, albino Kingús! They are extremely feared white-skinned reptilians. They have a horror of the Ušumgal, their Anunna and their descendents, which does not prevent them from dealing with them when it serves them. The incredible story of the pure (Aryan) race comes from this. King Šulgi of Ur (2094-2047 BCE), sovereign of Sumer and Akkadia. He was deified during his reign, signifying his divine origin. One sees him on this clay seal facing a Dragon who transmits to him the divine power. One of his anthems specifies "that Šulgi possesses a fierce regard and that he is born of an Ušumgal (Grand Dragon). (ANET 585) Many sources attest that the U.S. would still be at war with Germany today. Note that no peace treaty was ever signed between the allies and Germany at the end of WWII. Was this really an oversight? The Anunna and the Kingú (royals) use humans as pawns and the Earth like a grand chessboard. They have settled their accounts in this sordid fashion for millennia. Each like the other believes they hold the most powers and therefore rights on Uraš (the Earth). The Ušumgal-Anunna and their descendants conceal themselves in caves and other cavities in the Earth. The most "pure" or uncorrupted of them do not tolerate (to say the least) the 3rd dimension (Ki) [see Dimensions], which continues to rise - or rise again - in frequency as time goes on. Certain among them frequent more the 2nd dimension [KUR-GAL] which, by means of its particular density on the Earth, could well correspond to the 3rd dimension on another planet. According to what I know, the royal albinos do not have this problem with frequencies. Those who live on the Earth are situated more at the poles or near the openings of the Abzu (subterranean world). I have no knowledge that they actually live in the Abzu itself. The royals also possess areas under certain mountains and bases throughout the solar system, including on the moon The Gina'abul group to which belongs the being whose chronicles I relate in this series, was positioned between these two consanguine opposed collectives. This "rebel" group, consisting essentially of Amašutum (female Designers of Life), Ama'argi (female Gina'abul terrestrials), and Nungal (cloned Designers of Life), spent its time in coordinating with these two enemy collectives -- and this created political complications on the Earth. The humans, whatever their skin color, always served their re-creators. This is indicated in the African term Wazungu, "the people or the whir
