Norman Finkelstein: I fully expect to be arrested, Sept 5
Fri 31 Aug 2007
Posted by Cecilie Surasky
After losing tenure because of an unprecedented campaign of outside
interference waged by Alan Dershowitz, who has no academic background in in
Middle East or Israeli history or politics , DePaul University has decided to
unilaterally cancel Holocaust Industry author Norman Finkelsteins classes and
shut down his office. This despite overwhelming approval of his scholarship by
his peers at the school, and a remaining one-year contract.
When classes start on September 5, Finkelstein promises
As usual I will show up for class on the first day and go to my office. I
fully expect to be arrested.
Fox News reports:
Meanwhile, a faculty advocacy group sent the university a letter demanding
the administration reinstate Finkelstein or hold a hearing with an elected
faculty body to show cause for the suspension.
There ought to be a hearing before any such action is taken, said Robert
Kreiser, senior program officer for the American Association of University
Professors.
Administrative leave with pay isnt justification for removing Finkelstein
from teaching, Kreiser said.
They have the burden of demonstrating that there was good reason to suspend
him, Kreiser said.
For a man who is a son of Holocaust survivors and who has been targeted by
critics because he believes that some Jews have exploited the Holocaust,
Finkelstein must have felt some tragic sense of validation while watching
demonstrations in Israel earlier this month by Holocaust survivors and their
familes. There are 250,000 survivors still living, but it turns out barely, in
Israel. A government report said about a third live in poverty. Thousands took
to the streets when the state offered to help out with insulting $20.00 monthly
payments, prompting Israeli historian Tom Segev to say, it could be that
Germany treated the survivors better than the State of Israel did.
So who got all those reparation payments? It wasnt the Holocaust survivors
of Israel.

MICHAEL CHERTOFF AS ATTORNEY GENERAL?
By Frosty Wooldridge
August 30, 2007
NewsWithViews. com
On 9/11, the United States suffered its worst terrorist attack in the
history of the Republic. Burning World Trade Center towers featured black
smoke, people jumping out of windowsand ultimately, magnificent skyscrapers
collapsing like water falling over the edge of Niagara Falls.
Meanwhile, President Bush read a childrens story to an elementary
classroom for eight minutes after being told that two commercial jets ran
into the WTC towers.
Cogent arguments based on investigations by serious Americans
projected an inside job. Did the president of the U.S. know about 9/11 like
Franklin D. Roosevelt knew about Pearl Harbor? Why didnt the CIA splice the
pieces together long before the event? What subliminal message did our
leaders ignore when Muslims in U.S. flight schools learned how to fly
commercial jets with no interest in the skills of take offs and landings?
What about demolition explosives purported in the third building that
collapsed, but was not hit by airplanes? How could so many Muslims from
dangerous countries be given visas so nonchalantly? Was CIA chief George
Tenant playing Foosball with Joey on Friends every day while pretending to
protect our country?
Fast forward: Alberto Gonzales, an anchor baby as well as a card
carrying La Raza advocate--achieved the highest lawyer status in the nation
with his appointment as U.S. attorney general. During his term, by his own
incompetence and disarray, the rule of law in America degraded to that of a
third world country. Only token prosecutions resulted for employers of
illegal alienswhich encouraged more lawbreaking nationwide. Top federal
attorneys either quit or suffered firings.
Meanwhile, Gonzaless lackey in Texas, Johnny Sutton, prosecuted U.S.
Border Patrol officers Ramos and Campeon for shooting a drug smuggler in the
butt. A judge gave those men, who upheld the law and protected American
citizens, 12 year prison terms.
Back in the saddle in Washington, DC, Scooter Libby, a convicted
felon, received commutation of his crime without jail time. In other words,
our laws couldnt touch the privileged and powerful.
Further incredulity: Gonzales fired eight federal attorneys without
cause. Gonzales proved SO bad an attorney general that he faced
impeachment for his inability or sheer corruption-- to operate competently
at that level. Senators called for his resignation. This week, he vanished
like a snowflake in Tucson, Arizona in July!
Back-step: A man named Michael Chertoff, who carries duel citizenship
as a citizen of Israel first and the United States secondtook over from
Thomas Ridge as the chief of Homeland Security.
Under Chertoff, millions of illegal aliens continued overrunning U.S.
borders despite and since 9/11. Drugs flooded into the United States
unimpeded by the Border Patrol which is undermanned and understaffed. Ten
percent of those illegals consist of sex offenders, felons and drug runners
such as MS-13 gang members. Thousands of U.S. citizens have died at the
hands of illegal aliens. Chertoff conducted token raids on meat packing
plants in 2006. No employers suffered prosecution of any kind.
Two years ago: Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc on the Gulf Coast. It
caught Chertoff with his pants around his ankles. Under director Mike Brown
in concert with Chertoff, FEMA moved millions of dollars of packed ice
around in 18 wheelers for months after the hurricane as reported by Brian
Williams at NBC. Incompetence set a new benchmark for The Peter Principle.
Today, Michael Chertoffs name floats around the Beltway as the new
attorney nomination to take Gonzales place. Talk about collusion of
incompetence!
To top it off, Chertoff stated that new terrorist attacks remain
imminent in the United States. Duh! With wide open borders for the past six
years, this is a given!
Am I living in a nightmare or am I dreaming this stuff up? How could a
man who sports Israeli citizenship and passport make his way to the top
echelon of American power? Thats like Michael Vick operating a dog fighting
kennel and running for the president of the Humane Society! How could
Chertoff be promoted after demonstrating gross incompetence?
Does anyone realize that since the S.1639 failed in June, tens of
thousands of illegal aliens crossed our borders? That any number of them
could be terrorists? How do I know? Ive spent weeks on the border from
Texas to California. Its an open playground for anyone who wants to cross.
Does anyone realize that the president of the United States hires
incompetent people? Does he do it on purpose? What motivates Bushs
decisions against our countrys security? Why?
A mother of a U.S. Army trooper said last week, Why am I going to my
sons funeral and Bush is going to his daughters wedding?
I might add, As I witness this invasion of my nation, will I live to
see the death and funeral of my own country?
If 20 million illegal aliens wont satisfy Bush to do the jobs
Americans wont do, then will another 20 million illegal aliens make him
happy? The fact is: theyre still streaming over the borders Chertoff swore
to protect.
If Bush succeeds with his open borders, Robert Rector of the Heritage
Foundation predicted an added 70 million immigrants within several decades.
Whats left of our country for us?
Does Chertoff, an Israeli citizen, warrant becoming attorney general
of the United States? Does any of this make any sense to you?

U.S. Poverty Data Raise New Questions About Cost of War Haider Rizvi, OneWorld
US
Fri Aug 31, 6:19 PM ET
NEW YORK, Aug 31 (OneWorld) - It is one of the most affluent countries in the
world, but sill millions of people in the United States find it very difficult
to put a nice meal on their dinner table.
ADVERTISEMENT
Nationwide, more than 36 million people, or nearly 13 percent of the total
population, lived in poverty last year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau
report released this week.
Among those officially considered "poor," over one third are children, most
of them non-white minorities such as African Americans, Latinos, and Asians.
The data reveals continued inequality and concentration of wealth in the
United States, with the top 20 percent of households receiving over 50 percent
of the nation's income, while the lowest 20 percent got just a little over 3
percent.
"The impact of race, ethnicity, and gender is extremely disturbing," notes
Roberta Spivek of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), a Quaker
organization involved in numerous campaigns for economic and social rights.
According to the data, more than 8 percent of non-Hispanic whites, about 10
percent of Asians, over 20 percent of Hispanics, and some 24 percent of African
Americans are "poor."
Although the Hispanic poverty rate went down by about 1 percent last year,
African Americans and non-White Hispanics are still about three times more
likely than whites to be poor.
Single mothers figure among the nation's poor who suffer the most. "Being a
single mother has an alarming effect," Spivek noted, reflecting on the
gender-specific aspect of the numbers.
The data shows that more than 28 percent of women raising their children
without husbands are condemned to suffer from poverty. Those married but
impoverished are estimated to be around 5 percent.
The official poverty threshold in 2006, which many experts believe to be too
low, was $20,614 for a family of four, about $16,000 for a family of three,
around $13,000 for a family of two and a little over $10,000 for an individual.
Last year, according to the census report, about 47 million Americans had no
access to health insurance. Once again, official figures suggest that most of
those who lack health care are individuals and families from non-white
minorities.
In Spivek's analysis, Hispanics, American Indians, and Alaska natives are
three times more likely than whites to lack access to medical care.
Noting that currently the U.S. government spends about $720 million a day on
the war in Iraq, Joyce Miller, a human rights activist associated with AFSC,
said that amount could buy school lunch for 1 million children.
With that money, according to her, the government could also provide over
400, 000 children with health care.
Recent studies point out that over 23 million Americans seek emergency food
each year. According to a study carried out by the California-based Institute
for Food and Development Policy, about 13 million American children worry where
their next meal is coming from "because their parents do not earn enough to pay
for food, rent, heat, health care, and transportation."
The AFSC figures on the Iraq war are based on a statistical analysis done by
Nobel Prize-winning economists Joseph Stiglitz and Linda Bilmes of Harvard
University.
Their analysis includes $410 billion in Iraq supplemental funding bills, $160
billion embedded in the Pentagon's annual budget, $290 billion for Iraq
veterans' medical expenditures, and $191 billion in interest on the war debt.
"America's shameful poverty rate should lead every one to ask how we want to
spend our tax dollars," said Miller, "on war or on education, health care, job
training, and affordable housing?"
"Reducing poverty is not rocket science. We can go a long way by investing in
education, health care, job training, and housing," she added.
In collaboration with a number of human rights groups, AFSC has led calls for
a substantial increase in the minimum wage. It claims to have generated more
than 100,000 phone calls to Congress in the last two years.
The phone call campaign helped encourage Congress' passage earlier this year
of the first minimum wage raise in a decade. Many groups note, however, that
even at the new rate, the federal minimum wage has failed to keep pace with
inflation, and today's lowest-wage earning workers are worse off than those who
earned minimum wage salaries decades ago.
AFSC and other humanitarian groups are now campaigning to make the minimum
wage a true "living wage" and to increase human needs spending in the federal
budget. But President George W. Bush has threatened to veto those increases by
reasoning that the nation "can't afford it," according to AFSC.
In urging the Congress to adopt the human needs spending bills, the AFSC's
Spivek said the nation should spend $720 million a day on ending poverty, not
on war.
"It's a question of political will and citizens' action," she added in a
statement. "It's a question of redirecting our resources away from war and tax
breaks for the highest-income households, towards the common good."
