The "White Crusaders Of The Racial Holy War"...
According to the poster, the "sponsoring organization" ( to put it politely) is the "White Crusaders Of The Racial Holy War", which wins the prize for corniest name for phony intelligence front group for this century (so far). Funny thing about the "White Crusaders Of The Racial Holy War". They are located in Arizona!
UPDATE: A received a lot of letters that the Registry is for a proxy company in Arizona which makes their money by concealing the real identity of website owners. I based the Arizona claim on the one line in the WHOIS file that states that the IP location is in Arizona. So, this is where the actual host computer for this group appears to be.

Iraqi military and resistance fighters are human beings?:
I wrote two days ago that George Bush's assertion that 30,000 Iraqi "citizens" had died was wrong, not just because it didn't give credence to the controversial Lancet study which estimated (more than a year ago) 100,000 dead

30,000 Iraqis More or Less
"The long run in this war is going to require a change of governments in parts of the world."
George's face was eerily matter-of-fact as he said it. "30,000 Iraqis more or less" have been killed so far in the 'War on Terror'. No remorse or sadness, he seemed wholly unaffected in any way by the enormity of such a loss of life, let alone that he might bear some responsibility for it happening.

Can Americans Save America from Israel?
The US is as much strangely obsessed with the Holy land as was Britain as the Ruling State in the world (e.g., the Balfour Declaration). The British people were themselves incapable of explaining this strange obsession. So too are the Americans: totally incapable of explaining the administration?s strange obsession with Israel. The USA was the first State in the world to ?recognize? the new State of Israel when it declared its independence in 1948, and it is the last standing by it in defense of all its crimes and defiance of all international laws and norms of decency.

The United States is Actively Engaged in War Crimes and Polluting with Deadly Nuclear Materials
Today I am going to address a subject that it as touchy as anti-Semitism and over time is going to be a very painful realization that the citizens of this Republic will have to face. Americans do not like to have to come to grips with the fact that this nation is not always right, our policies are not always honorable, and our actions in war are not always defending Liberty and Freedom. Sometimes what is done in our name is so horrible they do not want you to know about it.

Documentary Relives Horror of Shatila Massacre
DUBAI, December 15, 2005 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) - Twenty-three years after hacking to death Palestinian refugees, six Israeli-backed Lebanese Christian militiamen show no remorse recounting the massacre in a new chilling documentary.
"With hanging or shooting you just die, but this is double," recalls one of the men, explaining how he took an old Palestinian and held him back against a wall, slicing him open in the shape of a cross.
"You die twice since you also die from the fear," he says nonchalantly of the act, describing white flesh and bone.

Bethlehem, a symbol of Israel's depravity (Benvenisti/Ha)
No longer in the way to Efrat
In another few days, Bethlehem will once again, for one night, win the world's attention. Only a few of the hundreds of millions of Christmas celebrants will spend
the night in the city of the Nazarene's birth, but that will be a symbol of the desire for peace that beats in the hearts of all humans, from all religions. The few who do reach Manger Square and take part in the midnight mass will not be able to avoid wondering about their experiences at two opposing places that symbolize
Bethlehem in 2005 - the Church of Nativity and Rachel's Crossing. The first symbolizes the hope that emerged with the birth of the baby, and the second represents
alienation, hostility and aggression.

US Congress Told of Chinese Muslims' Plight
WASHINGTON, December 15, 2005 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) ?
