“You see, despite the rhetoric, Israel and its supporters in Washington do not view the current dispute over Iran’s nuclear program as an ‘existential threat.’ Rather, it is viewed as another golden opportunity to bring ‘regime change’ to a country considered one of Israel ‘s adversaries, as Iraq was under Saddam Hussein.” – Ray McGovern A leaked top-secret memo from the Israeli Ministry of Secrets, Existential Threat Department has confirmed what everybody always suspected: The real existential threat facing the apartheid state of Israel is not Ahmadinejad, Hamas, or Hezbullah. The memo, entitled “Coping with the Real Threat,” begins: “It…

Debating pro-war, pro-bankster-bailout Rep. Ron Kind in 2008 Yes, I’m asking YOU: Should I run for Congress? Pro: We need truth-tellers like tomorrow’s radio guest  Sander Hicks, NY Senate candidate to run for national office. My wife and family are  on board and enthusiastic this time. I could coordinate my campaign with Eric Sayward, who is running in District 3 as an independent; we could do a series of “debates” around the district bashing the New World Order bankster dictatorship and calling for a peaceful uprising. Con: “Standing for Congress” requires a lot of standing, and I was recently diagnosed…

Last night’s Nakba Day radio special with Franklin Lamb and Gordon Duff is already going viral. (Radiodujour.com, the “best of alternative radio” channel, picked it up within minutes.) Complete show archive: http://www.americanfreedomradio.com/archive/Truth-Jihad-32k-051510.mp3Note: “194” is the U.N. Resolution enshrining the Palestinian right of return. -KB From Debbie Menon, MyCatbirdSeat.com Franklin does not write the best satire I have ever read, and he ought to stick to reporting and scholarly analysis, but he captures very well in this story, the British “away from home” character of “Jack” who, along with so many of his like insular brothers, should stay at home where…

Tomorrow, Saturday, May 15th, is Nakba Day, marking the commemoration of the Palestinian holocaust. In honor of the occasion I am re-posting a couple of old favorites. Also, don’t miss tomorrow’s incendiary Nakba Special Edition radio show! -KB Hamas Rescinds Nakba-Denial Law (Gaza City – UPI) The democratically-elected government of Palestine, Hamas, has rescinded its new law making Nakba-denial a crime, citing fears that hundreds of millions of Americans and Europeans would be deported to Palestine for trial if the law remained on the books. (complete story: http://truthjihad.blogspot.com/2010/03/hamas-rescinds-nakba-denial-law.html) It’s no joke! Israel criminalizes observation of Nakba My satire, unfortunately, was…

Is the top US brass getting tired of working for the IDF? Tonight’s radio guest*, Religious Studies professor Ira Chernus, just published an article entitled Blood or Treasure: Obama’s Crucial Choice in the Middle East. The article begins: “Writing about U.S. Middle East policy used to be a boring job. You’d start out with ‘The U.S. supports Israel’s stand on…’ and then just fill in the details. No longer. Many pundits claim to smell the winds of policy change blowing from the White House.” Why the change? Admitting that there is little hard information, just “a riot of rumors,” Chernus…
