Israels Inalienable Rights Posted by Charles Glass on January 19, 2009 Self-evident Truths: For Barack Obama on the Eve of His Inauguration as President of the United States.
Israel has the inalienable right to pursue terrorists in the Gaza Strip and everywhere else they are hiding. Israel has the inalienable right to attack houses, mosques, churches, United Nations shelters, schools and hospitals to kill terrorists. Israel has the inalienable right to expropriate the land of Palestinian farmers for Israeli Jewish settlers. Israel has the inalienable right to arrest, torture and brutalise Palestinians who resist the expropriation of their land. Israel has the inalienable right to restrict the movement of Palestinians from one place to another in order to protect the settlements it has built on land expropriated, by inalienable right, from Palestinians. Israel has the inalienable right to demolish the houses of Palestinians, provided: the land on which the houses stand are needed for Israeli settlement; the owners of the houses are related to terrorist suspects; or Israeli military commanders determine that demolition is necessary. Israel has the right to erect concrete walls within the occupied territories to put more land on the Israeli side of the line for future use by Israeli settlers. Israel has the inalienable right to establish road networks that non-Israeli residents of the occupied territories are forbidden to use. Israel has the right to instruct the President of the United States how the Secretary of State must vote at the United Nations, which criminals must be granted presidential pardons and how he should treat other nations of the Middle East. Israel has the inalienable right to a minimum of $1,500 per Israeli Jewish citizen every year from the American Treasury. Israel has the inalienable right to the most sophisticated and lethal American weaponry. Israel has the right to deploy any and all American weapons on terrorists, whether in violation of international law or agreements with the United States not to deploy phosphorous and cluster bombs against civilian populations. Israel has the inalienable right to defy United Nations resolutions and World Court rulings. (A corollary of this right means that United Nations resolutions do not apply to Israel.) Israel has the inalienable right to accuse those who disagree with its occupation anti-Semites, unless the dissenters are Jewish, in which case Israel has the inalienable right to declare them self-hating. Israel has the inalienable right to demand the dismissal of American academics, journalists and politicians who voice opinions that question any of Israels inalienable rights. Israel has the inalienable right to invoke the memory of the victims of Nazi persecution to exempt itself from blame for any of its actions. Israel has the inalienable right to determine what rights the Palestinians have. Thus, The Palestinians have no right to resist military occupation, confiscation of land, seizure of their water supply, collective punishment, arbitrary taxation, torture, public beatings, school closures and the destruction of crops and orchards. The Palestinians have no right to disobey Israeli soldiers orders or to appeal for outside assistance. The Palestinians have no right to non-violent civil disobedience, to armed struggle or to international representation to present their case. The Palestinians have no right to withhold taxes that pay for the Israeli occupation. The Palestinians have no rights, except those granted to them by the Israeli authorities, whose inalienable rights may not be contested. http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/israel_inalienable_rights/ ----- Children Can Now Be Taken from Parents for Thought Crimes by James Buchanan Most of us saw that news story about a birthday cake for a little boy named Adolf Hitler Campbell. The family was complaining about a store that refused to spell out the boys name on the cake. There was considerable controversy about a father giving his son such a controversial name, but most people acknowledged that this was America and the boy could always change his name when he turns 18. Its fairly obvious that the parents must be pro-White politically. The father has been evasive about having any support for Hitler and has claimed that he gave the boy the name Adolf Hitler for the sake of having a unique name. It seems highly unlikely that anyone would actually believe that explanation especially considering that a sister of the boy has Aryan Nation as her middle name. Well, that story just became a whole lot more sinister as Heath and Deborah Campbell just lost custody of their children thanks to the state of New Jersey. An article from the NY Daily News reports A young boy named Adolf Hitler, who attracted national attention when a local supermarket refused to make a birthday cake with his name on it, has been taken away from his parents by authorities, according to a local website. LehighValleyLive.com reports that Adolf and his sisters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation, 1, and 8-month-old Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie, were removed from their home by New Jerseys Division of Youth and Family Services. No reason was given for why the children were removed, however, and Holland Township police chief David Van Gilson told the site they had not received any reports of abuse or negligence. Back in December, the boys parents, Heath and Deborah, were outraged when a local ShopRite declined to provide them with cake for Adolfs birthday. This is an extremely ominous development. These child protective services agencies have been getting more and more intrusive in recent years. This is possibly the first case of children being taken away for thoughtcrimes or political beliefs. If the name Adolf Hitler is grounds for a child being taken away, then what about Robert E. Lee? Liberals could make an argument that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson were both slave owners and that no children should be named after them either. How far down this slippery slope should we tolerate government going? There was an incident in Brunswick, Ohio in which an equivalent state agency wanted to make an issue of a father having a gun collection and carrying a gun around inside his own home. Apparently a state worker, who was giving medical care to Mrs. Lekan, complained about Mr. Lekan cleaning his guns and carrying a gun around inside his home. The police should have told that worker to mind her own business, but some liberal tyrant decided to send police in to harass Mr. Lekan over his fondness for guns. One website notes At 3 p.m. Friday, March 31, 1995, two Brunswick police officers arrived at the Lekan home. Officer Sam Puzella knocked on the door. When Lekan refused to let them in, Puzella kicked in the door. This is the second point at which government officials violated Lekans rights. At this point, there was no suspicion that anyone was in immediate danger, nor was there a search or arrest warrant enabling the officers to enter the property. When the door was kicked in, Lekans eccentricity turned violent. Lekan shot Puzella in the chest. The police retreated. Puzella was airlifted to a hospital. The police tried to rush the home again suffering two more wounded. The father and boy were eventually shot dead after police surrounded the home and riddled it with bullets. This case involving a boy named Adolf Hitler may not seem very important, but it is extremely important to all of us. If liberal state authorities can assume the power to take children away from parents for the politics and beliefs of the parents, then all of us may have to make a decision one day to hand over our children to the state and hope that a liberal judge will give them back months or years into the future. Or we will have to make a decision not to meekly surrender our children. Alexander Solzhenitsyn once said that the police state tyranny in the Soviet Union could have been stopped and millions of lives could have been spared and even more people could have been spared a brutal imprisonment if just a few brave citizens had killed some of the KGB officers, who came to take away innocent people in the middle of the night. Hopefully Americans will stand up and support the Campbells so that this tyranny is stopped now before it spreads. Right now, things are looking especially dark and gloomy. ------ Bernie Madoffs Ethno-Nepotistic Ponzi Scheme James Murray January 4, 2008 Haaretz has run an article claiming that anti-Semites will jump on Madoff's $56 billion fraud against Jewish investors to besmirch the good name of Jews. Some Jews have proclaimed Madoff's fraud to be a new Kristallnacht. The Jewish Journal connects Madoff to the perpetrators of the Holocaust. Some Jews even insist that "Christmas came early" for anti-Semites because of the collapse of the Madoff scheme, implying that some Jews think that Christmas is a holiday of pure hatred toward Jews. Perhaps. However, the demographics of the Madoff scheme deserve some ethnic analysis: Was this really a story about how a Jewish turncoat victimizes Jewish-millionaire Holocaust survivors, leading to gloating among anti-Semites at Christmastime? Or could it be that the dirty little secret of the Madoff scheme that Jews are desperate to conceal is that Jews were not the victims but rather the beneficiaries of the scheme? First, it is important to realize that Jews lost only a relatively small amount of the money in Madoff's fraud scheme. As the New York Times shows, those who invested early and withdrew profits many of them presumably Jews did not lose a penny but rather profited rather grandly. Second, a quick glance at the table in the December 17, 2008 Wall Street Journal (reproduced below) makes clear that of the top 30 investors in the fund, only 2 are Jewish, and relatively small investors at that. Granted, the list is incomplete. It omits, for the sake of respect I suppose, the $37 million reportedly lost by Elie Wiesel and his foundation (modestly named after himself). (As an aside, it should be noted that Wiesel, the Holocaust promoter and Jewish moralizer, is absolutely indifferent to the extermination of the Palestinians.) Although many other versions of this table have appeared (and many major investors who lost will try to keep their identity secret), it is worth noting that the identifiable Jewish share of monies lost through Madoff in this compilation of victims is precisely 2.31%. While this omits the Jewish petty-millionaires who were the mainstay of Madoff's scheme for decades, even if there are 1000 Jewish petty-millionaires, the Jewish share of the Ponzi scheme is surely less than 5%. And since the best compilation so far argues for only 2.31% of the victims being Jewish, are the crocodile tears of Jewish columnists for the Jewish millionaire-victims really appropriate? One is reminded of the Jewish book on the Katyn Forest Massacre, in which 20,000 Polish Catholics and a few identified Jews were slaughtered: Of course, that book, written by a Jew, focuses only on the few Jewish victims. The non-Jewish victims are simply meaningless. Then and now. There are many articles about Jewish petty-millionaries who have lived on their profits from Madoff for years or decades of retirement (1020% a year in payouts). (See here, here, and here.) These articles make the structure of this Ponzi scheme immediately clear. That there was something wrong was certainly clear to many investors; they just did not know what was wrong. Anecdotally, many Jewish investors thought they were buying into a long-lived insider trading scam. Does the fact that some of Madoff's early Jewish investors always believed that their "profits" were derived from financial crimes make them more or less sympathetic? Madoff is described as having spent decades building a carefully structured Ponzi scheme (which large European investors note was one of the American investments highest rated for return and being risk-free for decades by the SEC and rating services). Yet, Madoff's scheme was something else and something more: It was, in fact an Ethno-Nepotistic-Ponzi scheme, a Ponzi scheme where most of the payouts were to the investors of the same ethnicity as the conspirators. And here is how it worked: In the first period (perhaps two decades), beginning in the 1960s, Madoff ran a carefully structured Ponzi scheme, possibly beginning when he really could not get the returns he thought he could get by legitimate means. But once started, there was no turning back. Madoff's genius (linked to guaranteed super-safe investment ratings from the rating agencies) was to have the larger investors reinvest a lot of their imaginary "profits", while using their money to keep the scheme going. Madoff carefully structured his scheme and limited the number of investors. (He was notorious for refusing to accept all potential investorsmany relate how they begged him for years before he allowed them to invest; many joined his country clubs just to stalk him. And I suspect he required a high rate of reinvestment). Madoff was therefore able to meet the payouts he promised since so much of the imaginary "profits" were simply reinvested and because bigger non-Jewish investors were brought in to keep the scheme going. If investors could be held to 1% a month payoffs (and this was a typical rate of payoffs), it would take 8 years, 4 months before a given investor would use up their own money in "profit" payouts. If Madoff could convince an investor to take only 0.5% a month in payouts (or less: many Jewish charities appear to have taken such lower rates of "profit" payouts), Madoff would have 16 years, 8 months before he would have to use someone else's money to maintain the stream of "profit" payouts. These modest, if impossibly consistent returns, differentiate Madoff from normal Ponzi schemes that pay out big early on but crash and burn within a year or two. Madoff built his scheme to run for decades. These long term horizons on the order of a decade or so required that Madoff restructure his scheme periodically. The first decade or two saw Madoff operate real money-making securities services and begin to collect his portfolio of million-dollar investors. At the beginning of this period he built an innovative, heavily computerized and successful financial services business. On top of this real and profitable business, he slowly started building a portfolio of unsophisticated Jewish investors, many of whom placed their life savings with him. These are the Jewish petty-millionaire ($13 million) investors everyone has been crying about in the newspapers. Many of them drew substantial cash payoffs for decades payouts that were often multiples of what they invested. Towards the end of this period, Jewish-Zionist charities and Jewish-segregated schools came into the system, but few were as large as $10 million, and all can be presumed to have profited from Madoff's fraud. For example, Hadassah, the Women's Zionist Organization, was one charity that came in at this time: Its initial $7 million investment in 1988 would be supplemented by $33 million over the next decade until 1998. By including paper profits, Hadassah would ultimately claim to have lost $90 million with Madoff; that is: 7 + 33 = 90. It is actually worse than this, since Hadassah may have actually lost nothing at all. A quick and dirty estimate of Hadassah "profits" suggests that if Hadassah had averaged $23.5 million in 19881998 and left all its "profits" with Madoff, there should have been about $64 million in their account, not $40 million in 1998 as reported, suggesting that Hadassah could have drawn as much as $24 million in "profits" in the first decade. Similarly, if Hadassah had started 1998 with $40 million as they report, 1% per month would yield $110 million, not $90 million as they report now, suggesting that Hadassah withdrew as much as another $20 million in the second decade with Madoff. Hadassah could have withdrawn as much as $44 million from the $40 million they invested with Madoff, and this would mean that Hadassah's losses are not the $40 million actually invested, or the $90 million as they now claim, but rather no more than zero. (Incidentally, some newspapers are so terrified of Jews that they will not even print the word "Zionist" unless it is in the address of a letter to the editor from an imperious Zionist organization: The cringing, terrorized Seattle Post-Intelligencer will only call Hadassah, which is officially "The Women's Zionist Organization of America," "a Jewish women's charity.") Interestingly, Madoff was so immune from regulatory oversight that he would not even be correctly registered as an investment firm until 2006, when SEC investigators were credibly informed that Madoff had committed numerous violations but settled for asking him to please, please, please register his firm in an appropriate manner... after it had been operating outside the law for over 40 years!!!! (Madoff would marry off a daughter, Shana, to one of the investigators in that 2006 inquiry.) The second decade or so began with the need for investors at least in the $10 million range, since the costs of the scheme kept growing. By the end of the decade he apparently needed investors in the $50 million range. This phase saw the development of the "feeder" system, in which investment companies often Jewish- controlled marketed Madoff's services to larger, non-Jewish investors, worldwide. For example, in the mid-1990s, Jacob Ezra Merkin, from one of the most distinguished rabbinical families in world Judaism, president of the Fifth Avenue Synagogue in New York, head of the investment committee for the UJA-Federation of New York, and manager of Ascot Partners, brought in Elie Wiesel's Foundation for Humanity. Four of the five largest "losers" in the Madoff scheme are feeder operators who lost essentially nothing of their own: Fairfield Greenwich Advisors, Tremont Capital Management, Ascot Partners, and Access International Advisors brought in other investors and lost their money for them. The end of this period came in 19992000: The result was that, as recently as 1999, Madoff rejected an investment by Jeffrey R. Gural, chairman of Newmark Knight Frank because he could not invest at least $20 million. By 1999, $20 million was too trivial a sum to bother with at this point in Madoff's scheme. Madoff was entering the third and final stage of his scheme, and it required globalization and much, much larger investors. The last decade saw bigger and bigger investors, like European banks, Arab institutional investors, a Korean pension, maybe a Saudi prince, etc., who put in hundreds of millions or billions and got nothing at all back, or very little. The costs of the scheme kept growing. This period was the heyday of the feeder system: Fairfield Greenwich Advisors, Tremont Capital Management, Ascot Partners, and Access International Advisors were bringing in billions now, and almost none of it was from Jews. The investment by Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, which placed $400 million with Madoff in 2005, is typical of the third and final period. It was large, it was non-Jewish, it was used to pay early Jewish investors, and was unusual only in the fact that Abu Dhabi Investment Authority got cold feet and pulled out $268 million in redemptions in 2005 and 2006. Bank Medici of Austria became a sub-feeder collecting monies from smaller investors in New York, Vienna, Gibraltar, Zurich and Milan, through its hedge funds in the United States and Luxembourg: Its investors were happy with 7% a year. And the money still poured into the hands of Jewish "investors", including the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity, and the Jewish retired petty-millionaires of Florida, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Minnesota, etc. Year after year, they received their "profits", extracted from unknowing, duped investors from Singapore to Dublin, from Spain to South Korea. So, it is clear that there were at least three categories of investors: (1) The core Jewish petty-millionaire investors, who made a lot of money for decades, living richly on their "profits" from Madoff's fund. As the New York Times admits, many made a lot of money. (2) More recent Jewish charities who agreed to reinvest a lot of their "profits", like Wiesel's loot from the Holocaust-trade: These investors got good payoffs but reinvested most of it. These people could have lost a little, but if they were really greedy they were easily suckered into big, consistent reinvestments, accumulating only large imaginary paper "profits." In this cohort of investors, actual loses are entirely correlated with excessive greed: If they let their "profits" accumulate without payouts, they could have lost everything. (3) The non-Jews, like Banco Santander, HSBC Holdings PLC, Royal Bank of Scotland, BNP Paribas, etc., who invested large amounts of money recently and who probably got nothing or next to nothing from Madoff. These investors now know that all their money disappeared into the hands of groups (1) and (2) and Madoff and his buddies. (Incidentally, Madoff and his family made a lot of money: One family investment firm alone had $160 million in assets until it was seized last week.) There never was a group (4) because the market melted down and Madoff could not find people big enough to fund the next generation of the scam. (Although he did reportedly scam a Saudi Prince for $3 billion.) In fact, one finds Jeffrey Tucker, a feeder partner in Fairfield Greenwich Group complaining, in an article in HedgeWorld in November 2007, that Chinese and Thai investors are stupid and unsophisticated because they will not provide money to Madoff. When investors sought $7 billion in redemptions in November 2008, the end was near. A careful reader will note that there were real winners. We will call them the Jews, since they were Jews, This group would ultimately have large losses of imaginary paper "profits." And there were big losers. Let's call them the Goys or the Suckers, since they are non-Jews. Of course, the difference between these groups is their ethnicity. It is worth noting that the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, and the mass media in general, see this as a fraud that essentially affected only Jews. As we have seen, this is the exact opposite of the truth. Jews were winners, and non-Jews were losers. To repeat: in Madoff's scheme, Jews were winners, and non-Jews were losers. It was not just a Ponzi scheme, it was a Ponzi scheme structured around a massive transfer of wealth to one's own ethnic group, a kind of previously undescribed Ethno-Nepotistic-Ponzi scheme. Finally, this suggests that the real reason why Haaretz and Abe Foxman are so hysterical about the Madoff scandal and its possible effect of increasing anti-semitism is not because they fear irrational goyim who are overly eager to paint all Jews with the traits of Bernie Madoff. It is that there simply were very few real Jewish victims and quite a few non-Jewish victims: The so-called Jewish victims actually made money. And they made millions and millions and millions.
