MondoWeiss reports that nearly 1000 demonstrators turned out at 5 a.m. yesterday morning in Oakand to stop the Israeli freighter Zim Shenzhen from docking–and were successful when workers from Local 10 of the International Longshore & Warehouse Union refused to cross the picket line. The Zim Shenzhen is owned by Zim Shipping Lines, which is 50% owned by the Israeli government. According to journalists Mike Ruppert and Christopher Bollyn, Zim broke its lease, and took a big financial hit, in order to move out of the 16th and 17th floors of the North Tower shortly before 9/11. This story is confirmed…

Okay, okay, I admit it! I’m a crypto-Jew! After all, John Kaminski says so. Kaminski recently sent out a mass email with the subject line “Kevin Barrett my old enemy.” Why am I Kaminski’s enemy? He calls me “the leader of the band” and explains: “Kevin Barrett, married to a Muslim or not, is a secret Jew. Just look at the guest list on his radio show — all Jews, or mostly, pushing Jewish books about 9/11. He’s a bad joke and a serious mole.” Kaminski adds that my alleged followers Gilad Atzmon, Wendy Campbell, Stephen Lendman, Adrian Salbuchi, Jim…

Don’t get me wrong, I love Helen Thomas.

Others prefer the US government execution of Martin Luther King, Jr. Then there’s Pearl Harbor…and of course 9/11. But for sheer outrageous hideousness, you can make a case for the cover-ups of (1) the Israeli massacre of unarmed US sailors aboard the USS Liberty on June 8th, 1967; and (2) the Nebraska-based CIA-linked child prostitution ring servicing the top level of the US power elite known as the Franklin scandal. Is it really possible that Israel could launch a vicious, premeditated attack on…
