AUSTRALIA POLITICAL PRISONER BRENDON O'CONNELL
Brendon O’Connell Released From Jail: March Update
Daily StormerApril 2, 2014
"The most famous Antisemitic web designer in the world, Brendon O’connell has been released from jail at last. He came out on January 23, 2014 to no job, no work and no accommodation.
He was the first person to be charged under the new ‘Racial Vilification’ laws for conduct likely to offend the Jew. The Jew in question this time was a Mr. Stanley Keyser. Stanley had been covertly filming Brendon and the Pro-Palestinian demonstration he was at, without identifying himself or asking permission. Brendon decided to turn the tables on him and start filming him. This got the Jew all riled up and he tried to snatch Brendon’s camera, whereupon Brendon pushed him away and called him a ‘Racist Jew.’
Calling anyone other than a White man a racist is known to have no effect, as most people think that only White people can be racists, but calling this Jew a racist had an entirely unexpected effect. It was deemed as ‘conduct intended to incite racist animosity’ by the Police and Brendon eventually ended up seeing 3 years inside for the so-called ‘offense,’ but not before the Israeli ambassador had got involved, along with 30 members of parliament. Just before that, the Detectives who had investigated his hard-drive had told him they were on his side and that the results of his research into the Jewish takeover of Australia, was top quality work that they would be acting on.
Who knows, if the Chabad-Lubavitch hadn’t got involved, those detectives might actually have done something about it."
Brendon O'Connell - Jailed Four Years for "Anti Semitism"
April 22, 2014
Australian
activist Brendon O'Connell, 42, was arrested
and jailed in 2009 for making "anti-Semitic" statements.
He was released last January. Brendon reveals exactly what he said
and how an apology would have spared him
a four-year prison term.
"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."- Voltaire
by Brendon O'Connell
(henrymakow.com)
I was arrested by 7 members of the State Security Investigation group on May the 12th 2009 for calling Stanley Elliot Keyser a "racist Jew" and "racially vilifying him in the process. Section 80B. That was one year jail time.
I then used words such as, "your days are numbered" talking about Rabbinic Pharisaic Judaism etc. This came under a different part of the legislation, Section 77, the most serious in that I was "inciting others" to go and kill Jews.
These are comments from my Blog at the time - after I was arrested - that got me more charges under Section 77 -
"1,500 Gazan's are dead, one million plus Iraqi's. We can only hope and pray that the international community strikes hard and makes sure that gaggle of Satan's children in occupied Palestine are brought to justice."

Then 2 years jail for saying "your days are numbered in the video.
All up I was given 11 years jail which was then made "concurrent" which mean it all ran together as one charge. If they really don't like you, they run the charges "consecutive" and you do all 11 years. They were trying to scare me. I made sure I said, "Jail here is a holiday camp compared to Gaza!" which the media reported. I wanted to be as defiant as possible.
This Blog links to two video's I did explaining things
Here Justice Buss at my appeal indicates that if I would just say sorry they would let me out of jail. This was in December of 2011:
JA BUSS: One can readily understand that a suspended sentence would have been appropriate had someone in your client's position pleaded guilty even if not at the first opportunity, had expressed some remorse at some stage or even given an apology. If these had been the facts, then it is very difficult to see how a term of immediate imprisonment could possibly have been justified, but those are not the facts.

[G] Hansard of Debate - Criticism of West Australian Racial Vilification Legislation by Hon John Fischer Nov.. 2004
"This legislation is atrociously drawn up. It will not achieve what it is intended to achieve, although I am not sure what the intent is. The Government has introduced the legislation and I do not believe there has been any consultation with the general public. I believe this legislation has been brought on as a red herring. From the people I have spoken to, I believe that this legislation will do the Government a great deal of harm. It represents without doubt, a loss of freedom of speech and a loss of freedom of knowledge.
...
I believe these laws will increase problems. The whole of the legislation will be thrown out. It is absolutely pathetic. I cannot emphasize enough that this is probably some of the worst legislation I have read."
Criticism by Greg Craven, 'Conversations With The Constitution: Not Just A Piece Of Paper'. UNSW PRESS.
"The most obvious feature of this rights discourse is its unremitting focus on the rights of minorities. New constitutionalists are relatively uninterested in the rights of common or garden Australians to live dull, secure lives in dull, secure suburbs, unmolested alike by burglars and intrusive governmental gate crashers. They are transfixed, however, by the rights of minority groups: indigenous people, ethnic minorities, sexual and gender groupings though not (of course) by the rights of unfashionable minorities such as conservative religious groups or right wing nutters. New constitutionalists argue, with obvious force, that it is the rights of minorities that most need protection. But there is more than necessity at work here."

THE UGLY TRUTH
Update on Brendon O’Connell July 12, 2012
ed note–I have not spoken with Brendon for a few weeks, but received this email from someone close to him there in Australia.
“When anyone of you sees an
indecent thing being done, he should stop it with his hands and if he
cannot do so, he should stop it with his tongue. And if he cannot stop
it with his tongue, he should condemn it in his heart. And this (i.e.
the third alternative) is the weakest stage of faith.”
The Prophet Muhammad
Mark,
I am someone who often looks for a
sign when embarking on something new. I hope that what I am about to
tell you is taken by you to be a good sign for your coming trip to Iran
to interview the President.
I have recently been put into the
punishment section of the jail. Well, it is not really punishment for
me with a single cell, no TV and just a pen and paper and book-
solitude, blissful solitude. While coming here in hand cuffs, a Lebanese
Muslim friend of mine saw me and asked if he could give me a book to
read while in solitary. That book is called “The Voice of Human
Justice”, a biography of the prophet’s cousin and closest friend Imam
Ali: “The Commander of the Faithful”.
Iran is of course predominantly
Shia Muslim and the ‘Hadiths’ and Imam Ali tend to take on a greater
focus there. The fact that the book that I am going to quote from was
written by a Lebanese Christian makes it even more meaningful as you
yourself are a Lebanese Christian living in the United States and about
to travel to Iran. Let me quote from the publisher’s note at the
beginning of the book:
“Much has been written and
continues to be written about the life, character and attributes of Imam
Ali. The present book is an English translation of ‘Sautu’ I ‘Adᾶlati’ I
Insaniyah; the biography of the Imam, written in Arabic by George
Jordac, a renowned Christian author of Lebanon. It has gained much
popularity in the Arab and Muslim world. Many Muslim and non Muslim
scholars have paid it glowing tributes”. Page 11
If I were to quote from this book
I would have to write you one hundred pages, every page has something
in it. Let me give you a few however:
“Ali formulated such firm
rules and presented such solid views for the rights of human beings and
the welfare of the human society, that their roots penetrate into the
depths of the earth and their branches extend up to the heavens. All the
social sciences which are prevalent at present mostly confirm these
views and principles. Although these modern social sciences may be given
many names, and may be presented in various forms, their object is one
and one only. That the human being should be protected from oppression
and there should be formed a society, which should protect human rights
in a better way- a society in which human dignity should be respected
and the freedom of word and action should be safe to such an extent that
none should be hurt.” Page 83
“Did not the Jewish priests
of Jerusalem tell the representative of Caesar that in order to support
Caesar’s system of government, according to which the poor were
exploited and the capitalists became rich; that if he did not crucify
Jesus Christ, he was not a friend of Caesar? It was Muhammad, the
brother of Christ, who rose against the oppressive society at the time,
where in there was a great friction between the oppressors and the
oppressed.” Page 96
“Ali was most anxious to
enforce equity and justice. His main object was that justice should be
established… He always desired those pious persons, who were anxious for
the Hereafter, to serve the public to gain the bounties of the next
world. He said: ‘Only that person, who works for the welfare of the
people, will be prosperous in the Hereafter. And the best things that
can be done in connection with public welfare are these- to feed the
hungry; to provide water for the thirsty; to provide dress to those who
do not have it; to inform the people of their rights and duties; and to
protect the rights of others.” Page 105
Mark, I could quote page after
page from the book and besides the Quran, I would highly recommend the
book for Christians or anyone else wishing to understand what Islam is
about.
Further to our telephone
conversations, it’s my understanding that you will attempt to raise my
case with the president if the opportunity arises- on camera? I hope
this is possible as my matter is so full of utter hypocrisy. I’m sure
the Iranian President could have a field day with it, especially as a
violent extremist group known as “Combat 18” shot up a Perth Mosque in
2010 and received a 7 month suspended sentence. I believe that whole
operation was police run. Now that Mosque has video surveillance both
inside and out, paid for by the police, no doubt installed and run by
“Verint”. J
Well Mark, thank you again for
your support. I continue to “spread the word” amongst the Muslim jail
population about Jewish racial and religious supremacism underpinning
Zionism; how local Jews act as “Sayanims” (helpers) for the state of
Israel and infest government, military and private corporate sensitive
positions; how Israel carried out 9-11; how Military Intelligence
officers under “Operation Talpiot” run all the database security and
communications companies out of Israel giving them unprecedented access
to information of every kind and finally I do everything I can to
further improve Muslim and Christian relations so that we can come
together to crush the virus that is political Zionism and the racial and
religious hatred and intolerance that feeds it. I know that this is
your mission too and I pray that God will bless this meeting in Iran and
we can do our part. Insha’ Allah. God Bless,
Brendon Lee; of the family O’Connell
July 2, 2012
P.S. Mark, perhaps Imam Ali sums it up with these two quotes:
“The time is extremely
incompatible and disagreeable. In these days a righteous person is
considered to be wicked and the refractoriness of the tyrant is on the
increase… The people are involved in doubts and sensuality. They have
ears but they are deaf. They have eyes but they are blind. They are
neither steadfast in the battlefield nor reliable in difficult
circumstances.” Page 126
“I was worried and alarmed
lest the foolish and wicked persons should become the rulers of this
nation and make the property of God their plaything and the creatures of
God their slaves and fight with the righteous and make the tyrants
their helpers.” Page 127
So, the more things change, the more they stay the same. The problem we have discussed so often is not new
Brendon
Update on Brendon O’Connellby crescentandcross | 15th of April 2012 |
I received a call from Brendon the other night who informed me that he has resumed his hunger strike as of 4/7/2012. I counceled against this as best I could, reiterating that it was the near-unanimous opinion of the readers/listeners here at TUT that his demise would do NO GOOD to the movement and that his enemies would rejoice at such a development, but to no avail.
Other than making this situation known, I don't know what else can be done.
mg
Update on Brendon O’Connell, April 5, 2012
I just received a very welcome phone call from Brendon over almost a week of not hearing from him.
The good news is that the hunger
strike is over. After 29 straight days of eating no food and having lost
35 lbs, he began hallucinating and suffering from very irregular
heartbeat. He was hospitalized for a day where they started him on a
nourishment regimen.
His goal was to make it to 40
days but fate had other plans obviously. I told him there was no shame
in the fact that his strike was ended early, as it would have done him
and the cause no good had he died as a result.
#1 by Mahmoud El-Yousseph on April 6, 2012 - 4:22 am
Yes indeed Mark. Fate has had other plan for Brendon.
I admire this man courage. I know as a Muslim, when I observe the Holy Month of Ramadan and fast from dawn till Sunset every day for 30 days, I am physically and mentally exhausted by the end of the day. Imagine going for straight days with no food.
By contrast I have also to salute the two Palestinian hunger strikers: Khadir Adnan and Hanaa Shalaib who went for 66 days and 43 days respectively. Like Australia, Israel would not even give a damn if those people have died as a result. They would as usual blame the victims.
Adnan & Shalabi managed to expose Israeli illegal practice of Administrative Detention, where you can hold some one without charges for 6 month at a time, up to two years. no charges no trial, no evidence.
Adnan will be release on April 24th
Shalabi was banished into Gaza instead to her home and family. Israel may or may not allow her to return to her home town in the West Bank. Israel is notorious for re nagging on agreement and deals it makes.
All of this anguish and agony is caused by the action of those bastards.
My prayer and thoughts are with Brandon O’Connell!

Another White HERO. Thank goodness Brendon at least has a chance
of getting out alive, unlike Edgar J Steele and other White martyrs too
numerous to mention.
Stick it out, Brendon. Don’t let the bastards beat you. You’ve got a lot of support here in zog central, formerly known as England.
The sooner we smash the devil’s gargoyles (jews), the better it will be for every decent White Man, Woman and Child.
We need to make the 14 words reality.
note from me, MG–I can tell you having spent a LOT of time talking to Brendon on the phone that he doesn’t give 2 healthy s***s about the color of someone’s skin and the role they play in defeating evil. In fact, he has told me personally on MANY occasions how people such as you with comments such as this do more to help out the cause of the evil doers than the evil doers themselves with your ‘white’ thing.
Why not praise Brendon for what he is doing rather than the fact that he is doing it as a white man? Your line of thinking–like so many other ‘white identity’ people is EXACTLY how the Jews think–supremacism, superiority, etc, etc, etc.
Stick it out, Brendon. Don’t let the bastards beat you. You’ve got a lot of support here in zog central, formerly known as England.

Music to my ears to hear this latest news with brother Brendon!
Also music to my ears to hear Mark’s comments to this very mis-guided individual.
Snap out of this Jewish race trap people. Why are you so myopic?
Why can you not see this is the exact divide n rule rhetoric they want us all embroiled in.
Wake up and GROW UP!
It’s time for us all to be big boys n girls and pull together. The only ‘identity’ we need to attach ourselves to is sentient beings leaning towards the light.
Come on, come on, come on – we ain’t got the time now to be wasting energy in these kosher traps.
Well done Brendon for making a stand. I look forward to the new release of energy and the continuation of your sterling corageous efforts.

Jewish Sex Suspect Protected By Prominent Melbourne Jews
Locksmith
and security guard David Samuel Cyprys, 43, was yesterday
charged with
16 counts of indecent assault and 13 counts of gross indecency
claimed
to have been committed between 1984 and 1991.
Prominent members of the Melbourne
Jewish community lied to the police, covered up an alleged sex scandal
and protected a man accused of repeatedly molesting children from a
school in St Kilda East, a court has been told.
Locksmith and security guard David Samuel Cyprys, 43, was yesterday charged with 16 counts of indecent assault and 13 counts of gross indecency claimed to have been committed between 1984 and 1991.
Twelve alleged victims - who were aged between seven and 17 at the time the crimes are said to have occurred - knew Cyprys through Yeshivah College, where he worked as a security guard. Some also took karate lessons taught by Cyprys after school.

Detective Senior Constable Lisa Metcher said Cyprys was supported by ''high-standing members of the Jewish community'' who did not say anything when the alleged offending was canvassed. ''They failed to act in any way to protect children and the matter has been swept under the carpet,'' Senior Constable Metcher told Melbourne Magistrates Court.
Asked on what she based this, Senior Constable Metcher said: ''Based on the lies told to police and information that has been twisted and covered up.''
She said there was a high risk these supporters would help Cyprys flee the country if he was released on bail. Cyprys had told her he was ''unable to locate his passport''.
''The accused is still connected with people who would probably make it possible for him to leave the country if that was what was required for him to do,'' she said.
The court heard that five of the alleged victims were from Victoria and another five were from New South Wales. Police were travelling to the United States to obtain statements from another two.
Most of the alleged offences occurred in Melbourne, but some allegedly took place at Yeshivah school camps in NSW.
In 1992, Cyprys pleaded guilty to one count of indecent assault. He was fined $1500 but no conviction was recorded.
Senior Constable Metcher said the Moorabbin sexual offences taskforce was receiving between five and 10 phone calls a day in connection with the case and it was possible that publicity after the court case would generate more. ''We believe there are other victims and complainants that will come forward,'' she said. ''A lot of anonymous complainants are still deciding whether to come forward and make a statement.''
The court was also told of concerns that Cyprys lived with his 14-year-old son and spent time living with his new partner, who had three children aged four, eight and 13. ''These children have been subject to child protection notification,'' Senior Constable Metcher said.
The prosecution asked that any bail conditions ban Cyprys from unsupervised contact with any child under 16, including his own two children and three step-children.
However, defence lawyer Alex Lewenberg said a parent should not lose the right to have contact with their children unless the children were in danger.
''There is the entitlement of the child to see their parent. Whatever condition might be imposed we ask permission to facilitate continued contact with the son and daughter,'' Mr Lewenberg said.
He also opposed a surety being imposed as a bail condition, saying Cyprys had been ostracised in the community as a result of media coverage.
''His ability to secure surety is limited if non-existent,'' Mr Lewenberg said.
However, magistrate Luisa Bazzani said she would only grant Cyprys bail on the condition he pay a $50,000 surety to ensure his return to court.
She ordered him to report to police in St Kilda every day, not to contact any prosecution witnesses other than police and not to leave Victoria.
A further bail condition was that he have no contact with any child under 16 without exception unless supervised by child protection authorities.
This included contact with his children and the children of his partner. ''It is up to the Department of Human Services to nominate an appropriate supervisor,'' Ms Bazzani said.
Ms Bazzani said Cyprys would not be released on bail until he surrendered his passport and any other travel documents to police.
Cyprys was remanded to reappear on December 2.

Update on Brendon O’Connell
I received a very welcome phone
call tonight from Brendon O’Connell who is currently one year into
serving a 3-year prison sentence. In effect, he is in jail for his
anti-Zionist activism.
As reported here a week ago,
Brendon is on a hunger strike until his case is reheard. He alleges that
the Australian government–due to pressure from powerful Jewish
interests–denied him the right to a free trial and has broken every rule
of judicial procedure possible in doing so.
As of this evening, he is into
his 15th day of not eating. It is clearly taking a toll on him as his
speech and mental activity are slower than usual, which, anyone who has
spoken to Brendon can attest, is saying a lot, as he normally has the
mental energy of a micro-nuke. He has lost over 25 lbs in the process.
He said he is holding up well and
intends to take this to the end if necessary. He is in solitary
confinement, which he prefers for the silence it offers. He says he has
his pictures of Jesus and Mary and spends much of his time in prayer and
just realized the other day that it is Lent, and that this is the best
Lent he has ever passed.
We are calling upon any and all
major news agencies to dispatch their correspondants in Australia to the
prison in Casuarina and bring some attention to this situation.
Other updates on his situation can be found at http://brendonoconnellincarcerated2.blogspot.com/
HUNGER STRIKE AND SUICIDE IS NEVER A SOLUTION
In the name of Freedom: Tibetan protester sets himself on fire in demonstration ahead of Chinese president's visit to India
- Protester ran 50m before collapsing in flames outside Indian Parliament
- Over 30 have performed self-immolation this year in protest at China's rule over Tibet
|
A Tibetan protester has been treated for severe burns after setting himself on fire in a demonstration before the Chinese president's visit to India.
The male protester sprinted for 50m through New Delhi today engulfed in flames as hundreds demonstrated against China's rule over Tibet.
Jamphel Yeshi carried out the self-immolation as he ran near the speakers at a rally near the Indian Parliament in the country's capital.
The Tibetan sustained burns on 98 per cent of his body and his condition in hospital was described as critical today.

Demo: The unnamed Tibetan man ran 50m outside the Indian parliament before collapsing today
Yeshi, 27, escaped from Tibet in 2006 and had been living in New Delhi for the past two years, activists said.
He collapsed after around 50m as fellow protesters beat out the flames with Tibetan flags they were carrying.
Yeshi was later treated for severe burns at a New Delhi hopital, one Tibetan organiser said.
He made the dramatic protest as Chinese President Hu Jintao prepared to arrive in India later this week for a summit meeting.
The Tibetan exile, who had been protesting at
China's continued ownership of Tibet, is being treated for severe burns
at a New Delhi hospital
The Tibetan man ends his protest as he nears collapse while engulfed in flames burning his entire body
Saved: The protester was eventually put out by
other demonstrators who doused him in water and beat the flames with
Tibetan flags
The Tibetan protest came as Chinese president Hu Jintao prepared to visit New Delhi for a summit meeting
At the protest venue a big poster featuring Mr Hu's face with a bloody palm print on it said: 'Hu Jin Tao is unwelcome' at the summit.
As speakers addressed the crowd, the protester set himself ablaze and ran across the venue.
After witnessing the man set himself on fire, one onlooker, Tenzin Dorjee, said: 'This is what China faces unless they give freedom to Tibet.'
At least 30 people in Tibet have set themselves on fire over the past year in protest at Chinese rule over their homeland.
The Dalai Lama has blamed China's 'ruthless policy' for the self-immolations. China accuses the Dalai Lama of stirring up trouble.
China says Tibet has always been part of its territory. Tibetans say the Himalayan region was virtually independent for centuries.

The Flag And The Penis
The Daily Mail
reported this week that young Paul Donnachie was found to have acted in
a racially aggravated manner when he defiled an Israeli flag in a
supposed political protest.
“A judge has ruled that a St Andrews University student who defiled an Israeli flag in a supposed political protest was acting in a racially aggravated manner. Donnachie, 19, put his hands down his trousers before he touched the flag belonging to Jewish exchange student Chanan Reitblat in what he claimed was a 'political statement'.”
Donnachie, will lose his place at St Andrews University with immediate effect. He is very unhappy with court’s decision.
The pathetic Scottish sheriff, who was booed loudly by pro-Palestine supporters, upheld the complaints, telling Donnachie: “I consider this to have been an act of malice against Mr Reitblat for his membership of Israel.
The judge had also refused defence solicitor Patrick Campbell to allow evidence from academic experts on whether the actions of Donnachie constituted an attack on the Israeli state as opposed to racism.
I am slightly perplexed here. What was the nature of Donnachie’s offence exactly? Was it the fact that Donnachie’s genital was not Jewish enough? Would it be different if Donnachie’s penis was circumcised by a Rabbi before the event? Would the judge react the same in case the Jewish Student Reitblat touched his penis before he touched, let’s say, an Iranian flag? Would it also constitute a ‘racist’ assault? I don’t think so.
The Scottish Judge should know that the Israeli flag is not a Jewish symbol. Zionism promised to transform the Jews into a nation. The Israeli flag, therefore, is clearly a national symbol.
For many of us, the blue & white flag stands for horrendous crimes against humanity, genocidal practices, white phosphorus, execution of peace activists in high seas and so on. For more and more people, Israelis are the Nazis of our time and showing contempt towards their national symbols is legitimate and doesn’t constitute any racial offence.
However, it is not a secret that many Jews around the world, including exchange student Chanan Reitblat, proactively identify spiritually and politically with the Israeli flag. This is indeed a problem since the blue & white flag is a symbol of some grave non-ethical behaviour. It is absolutely clear therefore that Donnachie’s protest was totally legitimate as long as Donnachie washes often enough and keeps his hygiene intact.

Australia’s Repression Of BDS Movement Coordinated With Israel
In the largest show of support for the Palestinian-initiated boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign so far in Australia, more than 350 persons marched on 29 July in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle — and in opposition to an attempt by Victorian Police to criminalize Palestine solidarity activism in Melbourne.
A month earlier, on 1 July, a similar, peaceful BDS action involving 120 persons was brutally attacked by the Victorian Police. Nineteen individuals were arrested.
Charged with "trespassing" and "besetting," those arrested are now facing fines of up to AUD $30,000 (approximately US $32,300). The 1 July action, organized by the Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid, had sought to highlight the complicity of two Israeli companies, Jericho and Max Brenner Chocolate, with Israel’s occupation and apartheid policies. The action was the fourth protest against both companies since December 2010.
Jericho, located in Melbourne Central Shopping Centre and other shopping centers around the city, produces cosmetics made from minerals exploited from the Dead Sea. While Jericho and other Israeli companies — such as Ahava, also a target of BDS campaigns — profit from the Dead Sea, Palestinians are regularly denied access by Israel’s military checkpoints, exclusion zones and Israeli-only roads.
Max Brenner Chocolate, the other Israeli company subject to BDS protests in Melbourne, is owned by the Strauss Group — one of Israel’s largest food and beverage companies. On its website, the Strauss Group emphasizes its support for the Israeli military, providing care packages, sports and recreational equipment, books and games for soldiers.
Strauss boasts support for the Golani and Givati Brigades, which were heavily involved in Israel’s military assault on the Gaza Strip in the Winter of 2008-09, which resulted in the killing of approximately 1,400 Palestinians, the majority civilians, including approximately 350 children. While Strauss has removed information about their support for the Golani and Givati brigades from their English language website, information about the company’s support for both brigades remains on their Hebrew language site.
BDS repression coordinated with Israeli government
Trade union and community representatives spoke at the rally on 29 July before the crowd marched through the city. In spite of repeated threats of mass arrests by Victoria Police — and the deployment of police horses in one of the shopping centers — the protest marched into both the Melbourne Central and Queen Victoria centers, staging peaceful sit-ins in front of the Max Brenner stores located within.
Two day earlier, on 27 July, the Victorian police confirmed during a bail variation hearing at the Magistrates’ Court of Victoria (local District Court) for some of the activists arrested on 1 July that a decision had been made to arrest the protesters before the demonstration. This decision was made after discussions with Zionist organizations, the Victorian government, shopping center managements and state and national management of Max Brenner.
In April, the Australian Jewish News (AJN) reported that the Jewish Community Council of Victoria (JCCV) had made representations to the Victorian police. According to the AJN, JCCV president John Searle had "called on the police to stamp down harder on aggressive protesters" ("Police questioned as protests turn violent," 15 April 2011). Similar calls for a government and police crackdown on BDS protests against Max Brenner in Sydney were made in June by former AJN journalist Walt Secord, who is now a member of the NSW State Parliament ("Police called to action on BDS," 24 June 2011).
On July 29, the same day as the BDS action against Max Brenner in Melbourne the Australian Jewish News carried a "debate" piece between Vic Alhadeff, the CEO of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, and Ted Lapkin, a former staffer with the key pro-Israeli lobby group in Australia, the Australia/Israel and Jewish Affairs Council. The piece reveals that the various calls for police and government crackdown on BDS activism was part of a "nationally coordinated strategy" developed with and backed by the Israeli Foreign Ministry ("BDS: To protest or not to protest?").
Arguing against any Zionist-organized BDS "counter" protest, Alhadeff writes: "It is important for the community to be aware that our response to BDS forms part of [a] coordinated national strategy. Furthermore, this strategy is endorsed by counterparts abroad and Israel’s Foreign Ministry."
Alhadeff outlined this coordinated national strategy in response to BDS, stating that it "included, but is not limited to, engagement with civil society and politicians, patronage of boycotted outlets, cooperation with police, shop owners and center managers and exposure of the motives behind the BDS movement." According to Alhadeff, Zionist policy in response to BDS should be one which seeks to "speak softly" but to also carry "a suggestion of a big stick."
Activism leadership targeted
During cross-examination by Robert Stary, the lawyer representing the activists, Michael Beattie, an operational support inspector with the the Victorian Police, conceded that both Melbourne Central and Queen Victoria shopping centers were "public places" and that neither center prior to 1 July had sought any civil injunctions to prevent entry to the public places inside.
The cross-examination by Stary also revealed that the main reason that police had decided to criminalize the actions against the Israeli companies was because they had been well-organized, coordinated and effective.
Victorian Police acknowledged that the demonstrations had been peaceful, that solidarity activists hadn’t damaged property and there was no record of police or any member of the public being injured.
According to the testimony given by Inspector Beattie, the police had specifically sought to target the leadership of the protests, in particular those activists the police perceived as "operating a command and control function," in order to diminish the possibility of well-coordinated demonstrations — and to ensure "no protesters go to property and disrupt targeted business or additional businesses."
According to Inspector Beattie, "the protesters had their own way" for too long and a "decision [was] made to draw a line in the sand and make arrests." Another police officer, Senior Sargent Andrew Falconer, also gave testimony at the court hearing and acknowledged that police infiltrators had been sent to pro-Palestine solidarity meetings in order to monitor the activity of BDS activists.
In a statement issued after their arrests, the nineteen activists noted that "the attack on the peaceful BDS action in Melbourne highlights increasing attempts to criminalize BDS and Palestine solidarity activism internationally. Currently in the US, France and Greece, hundreds of pro-Palestine activists are facing criminal charges for nonviolently standing up for Palestinian human rights" ("Support the Boycott Israel 19 Defence Campaign").
James Crafti, one of the activists arrested, told The Electronic Intifada that "the attempt by Israel and governments around the world to criminalize pro-Palestinian and BDS activism ignores the fact that the real criminal activity is being carried out by the Israeli state."
"Since its founding in 1948, Israel has sought to ethnically cleanse the indigenous Palestinian people through war, occupation and apartheid practices. Israel regularly engages in collective punishment, arbitrary arrests, extra-judicial assassinations and the demolition of Palestinian homes and civil infrastructure, all of which are illegal under international law," he added.
Crafti noted that while the Victorian and Australian governments sought to criminalize support for Palestine self-determination, they refused to hold Israel accountable for its human rights abuses, war crimes and apartheid policies.
All of the arrested activists who spoke to The Electronic Intifada said the police attack on the protest also highlighted the increasing repression of civil liberties and freedom of speech by the Victorian (conservative) Baillieu government.
One Palestine solidarity activist, Sue Bolton, who has been charged with "besetting" (obstructing or hindering the right to enter, use or leave a premise), asserted that the police reaction to the action on 1 July was "over the top."
"There were massive numbers of police, well over a hundred, not counting those behind the scenes in the loading docks," she said.
According to Bolton, the Queen Victoria Centre loading docks had been cleared of delivery trucks, allowing the police to set up a processing unit and bring in prison transport trucks to be used as holding cells for those arrested.
Bolton described how police had sought to "kettle" the demonstration by corralling protesters and physically pushing them into a smaller and smaller area. According to Bolton, this resulted in a number of protesters being injured and crushed when the police had surrounded and violently pushed protesters from all sides.
Similar tactics have been used by police forces in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Finland and Denmark. The use of kettling by police in the UK against student protesters in November 2010 has led to legal challenges and the calling for a ban on the use of the tactic in the British High Court and the European Court of Human Rights.
Damian Ridgwell, another Palestine solidarity protester arrested on 1 July, told The Electronic Intifada that he had been standing away from the peaceful picket, speaking on a megaphone when three policemen grabbed him.
"I was dragged behind police lines," Ridgwell said. "Once they grabbed me and started dragging me, I went limp and dropped to the ground … As I was being carried through the corridors of the loading dock, I lost consciousness because one of the police had me in a choke hold. I am not sure how long I was out, probably a few minutes. I woke up on the loading dock floor and heard the police saying I was 'out.’"
Ridgwell, who was charged with trespassing, said "while it is outrageous we were arrested for peacefully demonstrating, our arrests have to be seen in the context of the Australia government’s support for Israel and its continued theft of Palestinian land … it’s important we don’t let the police intimidate protests like this. It is important to keep going with the protests and to keep supporting BDS."
Australian government’s support of Israeli apartheid
Successive Australian governments, including the current Gillard government, have long supported Israel’s colonial and apartheid policies.
Current Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard signaled her uncritical support for Israel when she was still deputy Prime Minster of Australia. During the early days of Israel’s bombing of Gaza in the winter of 2008-09, she blamed Palestinians for Israel’s all-out assault, saying that Hamas must "renounce violence" and that Israel had the "right to defend itself."
During a visit to Israel In 2009, Gillard was thanked by Israeli government minister Isaac Herzog for standing "almost alone on the world stage in support of Israel’s right to defend itself" ("Israel to Gillard: thanks for standing by us," The Age, 24 June 2009).
The arrested activists noted that in June, the Baillieu government had established a new 42-member riot squad — and the attack on the 1 July protest was the first time it had been used in any significant way.
According to James Crafti, "the Victorian government thinks it can easily get away with attacking a pro-Palestine action because they think they can label us anti-Semitic." Crafti, who is Jewish, said that the police and those opposed to the BDS actions, however, "underestimate the sympathy towards both Palestine and the [Palestine solidarity] movement in the broader community."
"The amount of force used by the police and the response of the political elite to our protests, particularly the fact that the Australian Foreign Minister [and former Australian Prime Minister] Kevin Rudd felt the need to go a few days after our protest to Max Brenner as a public relations stunt is a sign of the pro-Israeli forces’ desperation," he added.
The eleven activists succeeded in changing the original bail conditions preventing them from entering either shopping center (which also host medical clinics and a major train station) until the end of their case, to a lesser restriction of being prohibited from being within fifty meters of Max Brenner in both centers. However, Stary said he was still "anxious about the criminalization of dissent."
"The police should not be used to protect the interests of an international commercial company," he said.
Building on the success of 29 July, Melbourne activists will continue to campaign in support of Palestinian rights and oppose the criminalization of Palestine solidarity activism. The next Melbourne BDS action is scheduled for 9 September, the same week those arrested will plead not guilty to the charges against them. The defense campaign in support of the arrested activists has gained wide attention, with well-known public figures such as filmmaker John Pilger, author Norman Finkelstein and radical thinker Noam Chomsky supporting the campaign.
In a media release issued immediately following the success of the 29 July BDS action, Melbourne activists said the Victorian Police "thought that by attacking the BDS demonstration they would put an end to our movement. They were wrong … [we will] not be silenced" ("BDS returns to Max Brenner in spite of police intimidation," 5 August 2011).

Anti-Semite? What About Anti-Goyimite?
Introducing The Hoffman Center for the Study of Anti-Goyimism
By Michael Hoffman
"A
dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his
punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world." Oscar Wilde
Perhaps
some of you have wondered about the debut of The Hoffman Center for
the Study of Anti-Goyimism and desire more details concerning it.
It bears mentioning that The Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of AntiSemitism (http://sicsa.huji.ac.il/)
was established "as an interdisciplinary research center dedicated to
accumulation and dissemination of knowledge necessary for understanding
the phenomenon of antisemitism. The Center engages in research on
antisemitism throughout the ages, focusing on relations between Jews and
non-Jews, particularly in situations of tension and crisis."
The
Center is based at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and funded in
part by the multi-millionaire cosmetics' baron Vidal Sassoon, CBE
(Commander of the Order of the British Empire).
The
purpose of the Sassoon Center is two-fold: to gather active
intelligence on the movements and personnel around the world stigmatized
as "antisemitic," and to paralyze any leader or movement that exposes
Judaism, Talmudism or the Israeli state by tarring them with the
career-ending "antisemitic" label.
Turning the Tables
I
have never been interested in being confined to a category or placed
on the defensive. As far as categories go, I have always sought to turn the tables by
thinking completely outside the box and crafting a new epistemology.
Toward that end I coined the term "Judaic" to replace the appellation
"Jew" as a description of rabbis and Zionists who lay claim to an
awe-inspiring self-description with little or no evidence to
substantiate their presumption.
Judaism
offers race-based divinity to those of whom it is said are the
descendants of the Old Testament patriarchs. We see echoes of this in
Judeo-Churchianity, where the insinuation that “Jews” are saved by their
racial prestige is a powerful undercurrent.
What
salvation is there for impostors, however? For those who reject Jesus
Christ and think they are Jews, but in genetic reality they are not
Jews? (Rev. 2:9; 3:9). This dilemma is almost never considered. There is
a snare wrapped within it – the huge superstructure of fraud, demonic
pride and misdirection built upon the notion that many or most of the
followers of the religion of Judaism and the inhabitants of the Israeli
state, are “Jews” descended from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and thereby
saved, or at the very least, ennobled, by virtue of their supposedly
exalted genealogy, and entitled to certain immunities and prerogatives.
There
was a quasi-magical awe in which self-described “Jews” were viewed in
medieval Europe, one of the few “Ace” cards they held at that time, and
one which they exploited masterfully and to great effect, no less than
now among the Republican Right wing. The whole thing is as absurd as a
band of Calabrians in Italy claiming to be owed deference, or
rulership over Rome, because they insist they are genetic descendants
of the Caesars.
Why
do we take anything the rabbis and their cronies say at face value,
absent collaborating data? We can talk about this until we are blue in
the face or we can act to withdraw the mechanism whereby this fraud is
maintained and substitute the word Judaic for the word Jew. In addition
to being a dispassionate, generic description of those who have an
ethnic attachment to renascent Phariseeism ("Orthodox Judaism"), and
Zionism, "Judaic" disarms the familiar accusation of Jew hate and the
special aura of victimhood surrounding that term, which is mined to
maximum effect by those who claim its mantle.
Not
everyone agrees with my strategy and this is to be expected. Anything
new is often attacked and can make those who are stuck in a rut very
uncomfortable. They are accustomed to their rut, it is cozy and
familiar. They cannot envision a significant advance unless it involves
the coming to power of a charismatic national leader of their
persuasion. If that scenario isn't realized, they are stranded in limbo
while the enemies of truth take command.
To what extent are antisemitism accusations a mask for anti-goyimism?
The
Hoffman Center for the Study of Anti-Goyimism approaches these
problems in an entirely new way. First, the Center directs a vigorous offense,
rather than a retreating defense. Second, it possesses the energy of
an original idea made concrete: how do we account for Judaism's hatred
for the goyim (i.e. the non-Judaic nations)? How does this hatred
manifest in politics, society, culture, education, business and world
affairs?
The Hoffman Center studies a pivotal question: to what extent are antisemitism accusations a mask for anti-goyimism?
In playwright David Mamet's new book announcing his conversion to the Right wing, The Secret Knowledge: On the Dismantling of American Culture (http://t.co/2GK08VE),
the English people are besmirched as possessing an almost genetic
strain of antisemitism. Years ago, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir
declared that Polish people imbibe antisemitism in their mother's
breast milk. These hateful characterizations of the English and the
Poles reflect the general contempt and bigotry of the Gemara, Mishnah
Torah, Shulchan Aruch and Mishnah Berurah for the goyim, yet they are
put forth and gain legitimacy as part of an alleged fight against
bigotry.
The
Hoffman Center aims to expose this hoodwink with facts and documents,
not just generalized rhetoric about the Talmud. When the Hoffman Center
states that the rabbinic texts teach that goyim are lower than dogs,
we will prove our contention chapter and verse. Of course it will be
said that we took the texts "out of context." We are prepared to
deflate that Pavlovian defense and show with massive documentation that
goyim have a status beneath that of dogs in Orthodox Judaism -- and
that's far from the only racist dehumanization to which goyim are
subjected in the holy books of Chazal (the founding "sages" of Judaism).
Here
is the one-way prerogative of the Talmudic mentality: entitlement to
bash our eminent authors with the "anti-semite" cudgel, while we respond
on the defensive. Our defensive response has been a failure. I'm sick
of failure!
Anthony
Julius was Deborah Lipstadt's lawyer in historian David Irving's libel
suit against her. Mr. Julius is the author of a recent book, Trials of the Diaspora: A History of Anti-Semitism (http://tinyurl.com/3u6qp2l).
In its pages he defames Chaucer, Shakespeare and Dickens, among
others. His book was reviewed with fulsome praise by the Yale
University literary critic Harold Bloom, who wrote: "Julius links
anti-Semitism to sadism. He might have done even more with this, since
sado-masochism is something of an English vice, and is so much a
school-experience of the upper social class."
An English vice.
To say that Shylock's usury or Fagin's fencing of stolen goods are
"Judaic vices" is nothing less than rabid Shakespearean and Dickensian
antisemitism according to Julius, yet Bloom feels entitled to stigmatize
the English as sadomasochist, as a nation which derives pleasure from
extreme cruelty.
As
one of the Holy People, Mr. Bloom can libel the English nation with
impunity, while the profound insights of Chaucer, Shakespeare and
Dickens constitute an "immemorial stench" (Bloom), out of a "sewer"
(Julius).
In
his chapter on "The Mentality of Modern English Anti-Semitism," Mr.
Julius presents what Prof. Bloom terms, "the puzzle of what appears to
be an incessant prejudice, never to be dispelled."
The concept of goyim harboring never-to-be-dispelled prejudice toward Judaics is a troglodyte dogma taught to bochurim (yeshiva
boys). They are indoctrinated from an early age to believe that any
opposition to the religion of Judaism is irrational (based on no
legitimate grievance) and ineradicable, the assumption being that all
opposition to Judaism reflects a hereditary gentile predisposition
toward hatred of the Holy People.
This traditional rabbinic brainwash is expressed as follows: "Halacha hi beyoduah she'Eisav soneh l'Yaakov" ("It is a given law: it is known that Esau hates Jacob;" cf. Judaism Discovered, pp. 463-466).
Despite
their morally superior liberal pretensions, Julius and Bloom are
steeped in 2,000 years of Talmudic anti-gentile darkness.
The
purpose of The Hoffman Center for the Study of Anti-Goyimism is to
elucidate this stream in western académe and media and track the tail of
the serpent of hatred and prejudice to its clandestine root in
Judaism.
Resources
Personnel: one (so far).
Resources: letterhead printed with the name The Hoffman Center for the Study of Anti-Goyimism.
That's it, for now, at least in material terms.
I can dream, can't I?
The Vision
Our starting point: planting the seed of this vision.
At
present, to be honest, there is little chance that my Center will
become a brick and mortar institute in the near future, yet I didn't
want to live my life without at least sowing in as many minds as I
could, this idea whose time has come; one that has incubated in my soul
for many years.
So there you have it: merely a letterhead entity envisioned by a dreamer.
Someday,
perhaps sooner rather than later, God will see fit to attract support
for this dream. If not in my lifetime then in that of the next
generation, this Center will become a truly realized venture -- the
axis upon which the most virulent racism that ever arose in the annals
of time, will finally have its human rights mask torn away, heralding a
new birth of freedom for the people of the West.

Dual Citizenship - Loyal To Whom?
By Dan Eden
Someone wrote and asked me, "Why are there Israeli- but not Mexican-American Dual Nationals?"
Well, here's my take on this. I'd also like your views and opinions.
Before I begin I'd like to day something important. There is a new law -- the so-called "Hate Speech" law, that just passed the House and is expected to pass the Senate and become law very soon. It was originally designed to guard against discrimination of oppressed minorities but was soon recognized as a way for Israel to forever end any criticism of the state of Israel and Zionism. When it is law, this page, and many like it will be deleted from the internet as yet another mile marker of the infringement of truth and free speech by certain dual-nationals at the expense of true and patriotic Americans. Enough said.
Unless we are Native American Indians, all Americans have their origins in some other country. Both of my parents were from England. They were proud to be "British" but they were most proud of achieving their American citizenship. Sure, we had pictures of the Queen and nick-nacks with the Union Jack on them. My mother even celebrated the traditional 4 o'clock tea time and was good at making Yorkshire Pudding. In the late 60's my older brother served in the US Army and did his tour in Viet Nam. When it came down to "allegiance," we were all patriotic Americans. Period.
The word "allegiance" means that we promise loyalty. It also carries with it the expectation that this loyalty will be exclusive and unrestrained. In the case of a declared war or real threat or conflict, for example, our allegiance to America should preclude any other interest, be it another country or political ideology.
When they took their oath to become American citizens, my parents had to pledge their "allegiance" exclusively to America and renounce their allegiance to "any and all foreign governments." That included Great Britain, one of our strongest allies.
Before Viewzone asked me to research the meaning of "dual citizenship," I had never heard of the term. How could someone be a citizen of two countries at the same time? But I was just ignorant. Dual nationalities and citizenships are quite common.
From my internet research, I learned that in 1997, a French Canadian with a U.S. passport ran for mayor of Plattsburgh, N.Y. He argued that the incumbent spoke French too poorly to be running a city so close to Quebec. He lost. Also in 1997, a retired top American official for the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) ran for president of Lithuania. He was inaugurated in February to a burst of fireworks!
In 1996, Dominicans from New York not only could vote in the Dominican Republic's presidential elections for the first time, they could vote for a fellow New Yorker. Multiple nationalities have become so commonplace that some analysts fear the trend is undermining the notion of nationhood, particularly in the place with the most diverse citizenry on Earth: the United States.
Debate over the issue intensified in the late 1990s, when Mexico joined the growing list of poor nations that say it's OK for their nationals to be citizens of the countries to which they have migrated. Under the law that took effect in 1998 Mexicans abroad -- most of them in the United States -- will be able to retain Mexican citizenship even if they seek U.S. citizenship. And naturalized Americans of Mexican descent will be able to reclaim their original citizenship. The Mexican government stopped short, for now, of giving expatriates the right to vote.
Well, here's my take on this. I'd also like your views and opinions.

Security Issues
Since citizenship carries with it a
responsibility to be exclusively loyal to one country, the whole concept
of dual citizenship and nationality raises questions about which of the
dual citizenships have priority. This is extremely important when the
two countries have opposing interests. It can be a deadly problem when a
dual citizen is in a high position within our American government.
Can one imagine a Japanese citizen serving in the Pentagon during WWII? Or how about a citizen of the Soviet Union holding a cabinet position in the White House during the Cold War?
Today's conflicts are centered in the Middle East. America needs to balance foreign policies towards oil producing Arab nations with our goal being peace and stability in the region. This places a burdon on our government to be even-handed in our dealings with the Arab world and Israel. While the Iraq War was waged on lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction and revenge for 911, the real reason has emerged as a well designed global plan to improve the power and leverage of Israel. Added to this policy is yet another potential blow to American interests and security -- the impending War with Iran. This war will be waged for the security of Israel and will be paid for by the blood of American soldiers and the hard-earned money of American citizens whose quality of life is inversely tied to the cost of petroleum.
Recently, in their much lauded paper, The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy, Harvard professor, Stephen Walt, and University of Chicago professor, John Mearsheimer, focused attention on the strong Israeli lobby which has a powerful influence over American foreign policies (see BBC article). They detail the influence that this lobby has exerted, forming a series of international policies which can be viewed as in direct opposition to the interests and security of the American people. These acts and policies are more often than not carried out by US government appointees who hold powerful positions and who are dual American-Israeli citizens. Since the policies they support are often exclusively beneficial to Israel, often to the detriment of America, it has been argued that their loyalties are misdirected.
A few classic examples can be cited here.

Jonathan Jay Pollard
[right] was an American-Israeli citizen who worked for the US
government. He is well known because he stole more secrets from the
U.S. than has any other spy in American history. During his
interrogation Pollard said he felt compelled to put the "interests of my
state" ahead of his own. Although as a U.S. Navy counter-intelligence
specialist he had a top-secret security clearance, by "my state" he
meant the state of Israel.
Literally tens of thousands of
Americans holding U.S. passports admit they feel a primary allegiance to
the state of Israel. In many instances, these Americans vote in Israeli
elections, wear Israeli uniforms and fight in Israeli wars. Many are
actively engaged both in the confiscation of Palestinian lands and in
the Israeli political system. Three examples come to mind:
One is Rabbi Meir Kahane, who
founded the militant Jewish Defense League in the U.S. in the 1960s,
then emigrated to Israel where, eventually, he was elected to the
Knesset. Until he was shot and killed at one of his U.S. fund-raising
rallies in 1990, the Brooklyn-born rabbi shuttled between Tel Aviv and
New York, where he recruited militant American Jews for his activities
in Israel against Palestinians. He claimed to be a "dual citizen" of
America and Israel.
Another Jewish American, James Mahon
from Alexandria, Virginia, reportedly was on a secret mission to kill
PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat when he was shot in 1980 by an unknown
assailant. When he was shot, Mahon held an American M-16 in his hand and
a U.S. passport in his pocket.
Then there was Alan Harry Goodman, an American Jew who left his home in Baltimore, Maryland, flew to Israel and served in the Israeli army. Then, on April 11, 1982, armed with an Uzi submachine gun, he walked, alone, to Al-Aqsa, Jerusalem's most holy Islamic shrine, where he opened fire, killing two Palestinians and wounding others. Both the U.S. and Israeli governments played down the incident, as did the media.
Most recently, US Navy Petty Officer, Ariel J. Weinmann, while serving at or near Bahrain, Mexico, and Austria, "with intent or reason to believe it would be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of a foreign nation (Israel), [attempted] to communicate, deliver or transmit classified CONFIDENTIAL and SECRET information relating to the national defense, to a representative, officer, agent or employee of a foreign government." Weinmann was apprehended on March 26 after being listed as "a deserter by his command," according to the US Navy. The information he gathered was supplied to Israel.
Ben-Ami Kadish , a Connecticut-born U.S. dual citizen who worked in New Jersey was arrested and charged with giving top secret nuclear information and details about the US Patriot Missile to an Israeli agent -- the same agent involved with the Jay Pollard case. The espionage charges reportedly stem from acts committed in the 1980s. These activities, like the ones with convicted spy Pollard, were immediately denied by Israel (Pollard pleaded guilty in 1986). It is further reported that Israeli officials instructed Kadish to lie to US investigators. Kadish was scheduled to be arraigned on April 22, 2008 at U.S. District Court in Manhattan.

In 2009 it was revealed that the NSA had secretly taped conversations of Congresswomen Jane Harman [pictured above on the right with Israeli Knesset Speaker, Dalia Itzik] negotiating with two AIPAC spies accused of giving sensitive information about US military activities to the Israeli government. In the taped conversation she is being asked to dismiss their espionage charges in return for large political contributions and (are you ready) a chairmanship of the US Intelligence Committee! One has to assume that they thought they could actually "arrange" for this to happen. This information was secretly revealed by the NSA to Nancy Polosi prior to the selection of the committee chairman and was a factor (let's hope, anyway) in Harmon's failure to obtain this highly sensitive position. After all was said and done, however, the case against the two Israeli lobbyists was dismissed -- against the insistence of the FBI. No satisfactory reason has been given for this.
Unfortunately, such an act of treason remains unchallenged and Jane Harman remains at her congressional job and enjoys being the third wealthiest member of Congress. Only in America!
The examples of Kahane, Mahonm, Goodman and Weinmann raise the question of when a U.S. citizen ceases to be, or should cease to be, a U.S. citizen. U.S. Law at one time clearly stated that an American citizen owed first allegiance to the United States. A U.S. citizen should not fight in a foreign army or hold high office in a foreign country without risking expatriation. What the heck happened?
The 1940 Nationality Act
Section 401 (e) of the 1940 Nationality Act provides that a U.S. citizen, whether by birth or naturalization, "shall lose his [U.S.] nationality by...voting in a political election in a foreign state."
This law was tested many times. In 1958, for instance, an American citizen named Perez voted in a Mexican election. The case went to the Supreme Court, where the majority opinion held that Perez must lose his American nationality. The court said Congress could provide for expatriation as a reasonable way of preventing embarrassment to the United States in its foreign relations.
But then something very odd happened.
In 1967 an American Jew, Beys Afroyim received an exemption that set a precedent exclusively for American Jews. Afroyim, born in Poland in 1895, emigrated to America in 1912, and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1926. In 1950, aged 55, he emigrated to Israel and became an Israeli citizen. In 1951 Afroyim voted in an Israeli Knesset election and in five political elections that followed. So, by all standards he lost his American citizenship -- right? Wrong.
After living in Israel for a decade, Afroyim wished to return to New York. In 1960, he asked the U.S. Consulate in Haifa for an American passport. The Department of State refused the application, invoking section 401 (e) of the Nationality Act -- the same ruling that had stripped the American citizen named Perez of his U.S. citizenship.
Attorneys acting for Afroyim took his case to a Washington, DC District Court, which upheld the law. Then his attorneys appealed to the Court of Appeals. This court also upheld the law. The attorneys for Afroyim then moved the case on to the Supreme Court. Here, with Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas, Lyndon Johnson's former attorney and one of the most powerful Jewish Americans, casting the swing vote, the court voted five to four in favor of Afroyim. The court held that the U.S. government had no right to "rob" Afroyim of his American citizenship!
The court, reversing its previous judgment as regards the Mexican American, ruled that Afroyim had not shown "intent" to lose citizenship by voting in Israeli elections. Huh?
While Washington claims it has a "good neighbor" policy with Mexico, the U.S. does not permit Mexicans to hold dual nationality. The US makes them become either U.S. or Mexican -- you can't be both. But the U.S., in its special relationship with Israel, has become very sympathetic to allowing Israeli-Americans to retain two nationalities and allowing U.S. citizens not only to hold public office in Israel, but to hold US government positions as well! No other country holds this special exception to our laws of citizenship.
So, you might ask, are there any other dual Israel-American citizens who hold US government positions that could compromise American security? Yes. Consider the following list that I obtained on the web:
Michael Mukasey
Recently
appointed as US Attorney General. Mukasey also was the judge in the
litigation between developer Larry Silverstein and several insurance
companies arising from the destruction of the World Trade Center on
9/11/2001.
Michael Chertoff
Former Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division, at the Justice Department; now head of Homeland Security.
Richard Perle
One
of Bush's foreign policy advisors, he is the chairman of the Pentagon's
Defense Policy Board. A very likely Israeli government agent, Perle was
expelled from Senator Henry Jackson's office in the 1970's after the
National Security Agency (NSA) caught him passing Highly-Classified
(National Security) documents to the Israeli Embassy. He later worked
for the Israeli weapons firm, Soltam. Perle came from one the above
mentioned pro-Israel think-tanks, the AEI. Perle is one of the leading
pro-Israeli fanatics leading this Iraq war mongering within the
administration and now in the media.
Paul Wolfowitz
Former
Deputy Defense Secretary, and member of Perle's Defense Policy Board,
in the Pentagon. Wolfowitz is a close associate of Perle, and reportedly
has close ties to the Israeli military. His sister lives in Israel.
Wolfowitz came from the above mentioned Jewish thinktank, JINSA.
Wolfowitz was the number two leader within the administration behind
this Iraq war mongering. He later was appointed head of the World Bank
but resigned under pressure from World Bank members over a scandal
involving his misuse of power.
Lawrence (Larry) Franklin
The former Defense Intelligence
Agency analyst with expertise in Iranian policy issues who worked in
the office of Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith and
reported directly to Feith's deputy, William Luti, was sentenced
January 20, 2006, "to more than 12 years in prison for giving
classified information to an Israeli diplomat" and members of the
pro-Israel lobbying group American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
Franklin will "remain free while the
government continues with the wider case" and his "prison time could be
sharply reduced in return for his help in prosecuting" former AIPAC
members Steven J. Rosen and Keith Weissman, [who] are scheduled to go on
trial in April [2006]. Franklin admitted that he met periodically with
Rosen and Weissman between 2002 and 2004 and discussed classified
information, including information about potential attacks on U.S.
troops in Iraq. Rosen and Weissman would later share what they learned
with reporters and Israeli officials." (source: sourcewatch.com).
Douglas Feith
Under
Secretary of Defense and Policy Advisor at the Pentagon. He is a close
associate of Perle and served as his Special Counsel. Like Perle and the
others, Feith is a pro-Israel extremist, who has advocated anti-Arab
policies in the past. He is closely associated with the extremist group,
the Zionist Organization of America, which even attacks Jews that don't
agree with its extremist views. Feith frequently speaks at ZOA
conferences. Feith runs a small law firm, Feith and Zell, which only has
one International office, in Israel. The majority of their legal work
is representing Israeli interests. His firm's own website stated, prior
to his appointment, that Feith "represents Israeli Armaments
Manufacturer." Feith basically represents the Israeli War Machine. Feith
also came from the Jewish thinktank JINSA. Feith, like Perle and
Wolfowitz, are campaigning hard for this Israeli proxy war against Iraq.
Feith was investigated by the
FBI under suspicion of leaking classified information to Israel, being
that he was Larry Franklin's boss when Franklin leaked those documents
to Rosen and Weissman of AIPAC. For that he was forced to leave the
National Security Council. Feith was also investigated by the Senate
Intelligence Committee for sexing up 'intelligence' that was used to
justify invading Iraq.
Edward Luttwak
Member
of the National Security Study Group of the Department of Defence at
the Pentagon. Luttwak is reportedly an Israeli citizen and has taught in
Israel. He frequently writes for Israeli and pro-Israeli newspapers and
journals. Luttwak is an Israeli extremist whose main theme in many of
his articles is the necessity of the U.S. waging war against Iraq and
Iran.
Henry Kissinger
One
of many Pentagon Advisors, Kissinger sits on the Pentagon's Defense
Policy Board under Perle. For detailed information about Kissinger's
evil past, read Seymour Hersch's book (Price of Power: Kissinger in the
Nixon White House). Kissinger likely had a part in the Watergate crimes,
Southeast Asia mass murders (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos), Installing
Chilean mass murdering dictator Pinochet, Operation Condor's mass
killings in South America, and more recently served as Serbia's
Ex-Dictator Slobodan Milosevic's Advisor. He consistently advocated
going to war against Iraq. Kissinger is the Ariel Sharon of the U.S.
Unfortunately, President Bush nominated Kissinger as chairman of the
September 11 investigating commission. It's like picking a bank robber
to investigate a fraud scandal. He later declined this job under
enormous protests.
Dov Zakheim
Dov Zakheim is an
ordained rabbi and reportedly holds Israeli citizenship. Zakheim
attended Jew's College in London and became an ordained Orthodox Jewish
Rabbi in 1973. He was adjunct professor at New York's Jewish Yeshiva
University. Zakheim is close to the Israeli lobby.
Dov Zakheim is also a member of
the Council on Foreign Relations and in 2000 a co-author of the Project
for the New American Century's position paper, Rebuilding America's
Defenses, advocating the necessity for a Pearl-Harbor-like incident to
mobilize the country into war with its enemies, mostly Middle Eastern
Muslim nations.
He was appointed by Bush as
Pentagon Comptroller from May 4, 2001 to March 10, 2004. At that time he
was unable to explain the disappearance of $1 trillion dollars.
Actually, nearly three years earlier, Donald Rumsfeld announced on
September 10, 2001 that an audit discovered $2.3 trillion was also
missing from the Pentagon books. That story, as mentioned, was buried
under 9-11's rubble. The two sums disappeared on Zakheim's watch. We can
only guess where that cash went.
Despite these suspicions, on May
6, 2004, Zakheim took a lucrative position at Booz Allen Hamilton, one
of the most prestigious strategy consulting firms in the world. One of
its clients then was Blessed Relief, a charity said to be a front for
Osama bin Laden. Booz, Allen & Hamilton then also worked closely
with DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which is the
research arm of the Department of Defense.
Judicial Inc's bio of Dov tells
us Zakheim is a dual Israeli/American citizen and has been tracking the
halls of US government for 25 years, casting defense policy and
influence on Presidents Reagan, Clinton, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. Judicial
Inc points out that most of Israel's armaments were gotten thanks to
him. Squads of US F-16 and F-15 were classified military surplus and
sold to Israel at a fraction of their value.
Kenneth Adelman
One
of many Pentagon Advisors, Adelman also sits on the Pentagon's Defense
Policy Board under Perle, and is another extremist pro-Israel advisor,
who supported going to war against Iraq. Adelman frequently is a guest
on Fox News, and often expresses extremist and often ridiculus anti-Arab
and anti-Muslim views. Through his racism or ignorance, he actually
called Arabs "anti-Semitic" on Fox News (11/28/2001), when he could have
looked it up in the dictionary to find out that Arabs by definition are
Semites.
I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby
Vice President Dick Cheney's ex-Chief of Staff. As chief pro-Israel Jewish advisor to Cheney, it helps explains why Cheney is so gun-ho to invade Iran. Libby is longtime associate of Wolfowitz. Libby was also a lawyer for convicted felon and Israeli spy Marc Rich, whom Clinton pardoned, in his last days as president. Libby was recently found guilty of lying to Federal investigators in the Valerie Plame affair, in which Plame, a covert CIA agent, was exposed for political revenge by the Bush administration following her husband's revelations about the lies leading to the Iraq War.
Robert Satloff

Elliott Abrams
National Security Council Advisor. He previously worked at Washington-based "Think Tank" Ethics and Public Policy Center. During the Reagan Adminstration, Abrams was the Assistant Secretary of State, handling, for the most part, Latin American affairs. He played an important role in the Iran-Contra Scandal, which involved illegally selling U.S. weapons to Iran to fight Iraq, and illegally funding the contra rebels fighting to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista government. He also actively deceived three congressional committees about his involvement and thereby faced felony charges based on his testimony. Abrams pled guilty in 1991 to two misdemeanors and was sentenced to a year's probation and 100 hours of community service. A year later, former President Bush (Senior) granted Abrams a full pardon. He was one of the more hawkish pro-Israel Jews in the Reagan Administration's State Department.

I don't know about you, but dual citizenship is fine with me for an ordinary citizen. But if you hold an official position that demands that you put American interests above all else -- if you should look transparent and fair to the rest of the world regarding your formation of Middle East foreign policies, then this is a dangerous trend. Even if there were no pro-Israeli agenda, the fact that decision makers have a bias or an allegiance to one of the parties involved in the current conflict should have raised red flags long before now.

If you think we're being unfair here, ask yourself: How you would react to the Head of Homeland Security if he or she were a dual national with citizenship in Iran, Lebanon or Saudi Arabia? Ask yourself why you don't feel the same about Israeli dual citizenship. Then you will understand how powerful the Israeli lobby has been in "adjusting" your acceptance of their special status.
Hey, I could be way off on this. Let's hear from you.
FBI arrests US scientist on spying charges
In Jerusalem, Israeli government officials had no immediate comment.
The US justice department said Stewart David Nozette, 52, was charged with attempting to communicate, deliver and transmit classified information to an individual he believed to be an Israeli intelligence officer.
The criminal complaint against Nozette does not allege that Israel's government or anyone acting on its behalf violated US law. In Jerusalem, where the story broke late at night, Israeli government officials had no immediate comment.
Nozette, from Maryland, was arrested yesterday by FBI agents. He is expected to appear in federal court in Washington today.
In an affidavit supporting the complaint, Leslie Martell, a FBI agent,
said that on 3 September, Nozette received a telephone call from an
individual purporting to be an Israeli intelligence officer. The caller
was an undercover FBI agent.
Nozette agreed to meet with the agent
later that day at a hotel in Washington. During the meeting the two
discussed Nozette's willingness to work for Israeli intelligence. The
scientist allegedly said that he had, in the past, held top security
clearances and had access to US satellite information, the affidavit
said.
Nozette also was alleged to have said he would be willing to answer questions about this information in exchange for money.
According to the affidavit, the agent explained that the Israeli
intelligence agency, Mossad, would arrange for a communication system so
Nozette could pass on information in a post office box.
Nozette agreed to provide regular, continuing information and asked for an Israeli passport, the government alleged.
The affidavit then alleged the following sequence of events:
Nozette agreed to provide regular, continuing information and asked for an Israeli passport, the government alleged.
The affidavit then alleged the following sequence of events:
- Sept. 4: Nozette and the agent met again in the same hotel. The scientist allegedly said that while he no longer had legal access to any classified information at a US government facility, he could, nonetheless, recall classified information by memory. He allegedly asked when he could expect to receive his first settlement, saying he preferred cash amounts "under ten thousand" so he didn't have to report it to merchant accounts. (Anti-money laundering laws require that all transactions of $10,000 (£6,000) or more must be reported to the US tax authorities). Nozette allegedly told the agent, "Well, I should tell you my first need is that they should figure out how to pay me ... They don't expect me to do this for free."
- Sept. 10: Undercover FBI agents left a letter in the designated post office box, asking Nozette to answer a list of questions about US satellite information. The agents provided a $2,000 cash payment. Serial numbers of the bills were recorded.
- Sept. 16: Nozette was captured on videotape leaving a manila envelope in the post office box. The next day, agents retrieved the sealed envelope and found, among other things, a one-page document containing answers to the questions and an encrypted computer thumb drive. One answer contained information, classified as secret, that concerned capabilities of a prototype overhead collection system.
- Sept. 17: Agents left a second letter in the post office box with another list of questions about US satellite information. The FBI also left a cash payment of $9,000. Nozette allegedly retrieved the questions and the money the same day.
- Oct. 1: Nozette was videotaped leaving a manila envelope in the post office box. FBI agents retrieved it and found a second set of answers. The responses contained information classified as top secret and secret, involving US satellites, early warning systems, means of defence or retaliation against large-scale attack, communications intelligence information, and major elements of defence strategy.
Nozette had worked in varying
jobs for the department of energy, the national aeronautics and space,
and in the national space council in the president's office in 1989 and
1990. The scientist developed the Clementine bistatic radar experiment
that purportedly discovered water on the south pole of the moon. He
worked from approximately 1990 to 1999 at the department of energy's
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California, where he designed
highly advanced technology. At the department of energy, Nozette held
a special security clearance equivalent to the defence department top
secret and "critical nuclear weapon design information" clearances.
Department of energy clearances apply to access to information
specifically relating to atomic or nuclear-related materials. Nozette
also held top offices at the Alliance for Competitive Technology, a
nonprofit company that he organised in March 1990. Between January 2000
and February 2006, Nozette, through his company, had several
agreements to develop advanced technology for the US government. He
performed some of the research and development at the US Naval Research
Laboratory in Washington, the Defence Advanced Research Projects
Agency in Arlington, Virginia, and at Nasa's Goddard Space Flight
Centre in Greenbelt, Maryland.
2. The jury was also not impressed with Brendon’s attempt to run legal argument that questioned the legality of the court itself, much like some lawyers are doing in the USA. When put to the test the example of successfully defending oneself in court in such a manner often turns out to be the negation of a traffic fine – but Brendon’s matter is more serious than that and it is futile for an unrepresented person to mount any kind of defence when it gets to issues raised under the Racial Discrimination Act.
3. Note how some US courts are openly adopting the ‘hate’ category, which is simply a watered down version of defamation law where truth is still a defence – but this was not to be in Brendon’s case.
4. His matter is much like the contesting of a charge under Section 130 of the German Criminal Code. Imagine, if a lawyer defends you too vigorously in court, as Ludwig Bock did Gunter Deckert during the 1990s, then the lawyer himself is subject to prosecution. Bock was fined about DM10,000, and that is why when he defended me in 1999 he remained silent and refused to defend me, this being the ground for my having a re-trial that since last year’s advice from Dr Meinerzhagen has been adjourned indefinitely.
5. As well, some of Brendon’s supporters believe that invoking Angel-protection will lead to victory.
6. During Brendon’s two-hour appeal on 13 December 2011 I watched how Chief Justice Martin sat there continuously grooming and biting his fingernails. I have never in my life seen anyone do that kind of thing for two hours. Was it boredom or nervousness, or both?
7. A final note: were it not for Brendon’s strong mind and religious belief, then I think he would have trouble coping with his current action. But support from outside also helps a lot, so write to him at:
Brendon O’Connell, Locked Bag 1, KWINANA WA 6966, Australia.
Thanks

1. Brendon had the audacity to challenge a young Jew about his religious convictions, which Brendon rightly claimed, has led to the Palestinian nakba…”
Dear Sir
Are you the Professor Fredrick Toben who the Gestapo illegally arrested and deported when you were transiting here in London?
“As of this evening, he is into his 15th day of not eating….”
I have always held that “hunger strike” is an act of weakness and not of strength and is SUICIDE and I am against suicide. If Brendon O’Connell is in jail only for his opinions, it is because of our cowardice and of the Freemasonry Admiralty Courts that all work for the corporations and have nothing to do with justice, Remember yourself and Sylvia Stolz, for example.
One of my correspondents in Australia, Benjamin Merhav, an Israeli Jew received the same kind of treatment and WORSE because he criticised Zionism. I do not know what happened to him as all our correspondence suddenly stopped. The Zionist Australian government did very bad Jewish things to his children!
Thanks for the address you provided: Brendon O’Connell, Locked Bag 1, KWINANA WA 6966, Australia.
Yours faithfully

ZIONISM, NOAM CHOMSKY, URI AVNERY,COMPLICITY BY PALESTINIAN LEADERS, ZIONIST GESTAPO, TREACHERY, AND BETRAYAL !
Wednesday, September 30, 2009
ON THE DAMAGE NOAM CHOMSKY, URI AVNERY AND THEIR CABALS HAVE BEEN INFLICTING ON THE PALESTINE CAUSE AND ON THE LEFT
Quote from BENJAMIN MERHAV from his Australian Gulag:
“It is obvious that out of the comments by the three Palestine supporters only the comments by the Palestinian activist, Sami Jamil Jadallah, are frank ,sincere and honest. The other two refuse to believe that the Zionist Gestapo has been torturing me for nearly 9 years by sleep deprivation, and by implication they refuse to believe that Palestinian leaders have collaborated with the Zionist Gestapo by imposing a hostile silence on this Zionist crime.
Still worse, not only do they refuse to protest against this torture, they don’t even mention the ongoing psychiatric torture of my daughter (for almost 32 years, and my son for some 19 years), and I provide below the list of links to my blogs of research into the crime of psychiatry and Big Pharma, with whom the Zionists are closely allied.
Furthermore, both these two “Palestine supporters” are claiming in irony that they did not suffer any similar “punishment” as inflicted on myself therefore they “ask” why would I be “singled out ” when they have been free and safe.
Well, there are two answers to this cynical question. First is that I do not know, and neither do they, what criteria the Zionist apartheid regime of Israel use when they single out anybody for “punishment”. Secondly, could it be that the Zionist Gestapo has considered me more dangerous than they and other purported supporters of the Palestine cause, to be singled out for torture?”

Give me a break. Please. NO more disinfo.
Australia, Nor the USA, nor England …is ‘Facist’
Facism is a Talmudic ‘Dirty word’ employed BY Jews and their useful idiots, as they actually stood up TO Jew Bolshvism, defensively. Said Nations have employed 9 of the 10 Planks of Communism, as per the Marx’s Manifesto. We are Communist, NOT facist.
Facist nations typically are characterized BY a strong National Identity.
Australia, USA nor England do not have such an identity.
SPAIN, ITALY, GERMANY Did.
And strong leaders to fight off Jew Bolshevim, to throw out the Banksters, The Usurious Central Bank, The Defilers of their Culture ie Pornographers, Communists, Sympathizers, those that attacked GOD and family.
“Unfortunately for the unlearned, Fascism has an undeserved bad reputation. Regardless of this reputation, Fascism is a very sensible economic and social ideology. There are a few different “flavors” of Fascism, but basically they all come down to the following.
Fascism is an economic system in which a nation’s government plays a central role in monitoring all banking, trade, production, and labor activity which takes place within the nation. Such monitoring is done for the sole purpose of safeguarding & advancing the nation and its people. Under Fascism, the government will not approve of any business activity unless that business has a positive impact on the nation as a whole and the people of the nation – this is the axiom which determines everything under Fascism.
In other words, the government asks, “Is XYZ Enterprises good for our nation and our people?” If yes, it’s approved. If no, it’s not approved. When they ask, “Is it good?”, they mean, “Is XYZ Enterprises good for the workers, do they pay a fair wage, do they produce a product or provide a service which advances our nation & our people technologically, morally, spiritually, health-wise, etc???”
Fascism is based on free enterprise – but with constraints (the primary constraint being, “Is the particular economic activity in question good for our nation?”).
In a nutshell, Fascism basically tells entrepreneurs, “Go ahead and start a business, earn a lot of money, be successful, but don’t produce any products or services which damage our nation and our nation’s people… and make sure you treat your workers fair and pay them a living wage. If you don’t do these things, we’ll shut you down.”
The above is the economic aspect of Fascism. There is also a Cultural/social aspect to Fascism as well. Under Fascism, government plays a key role in Monitoring: film, theatre, art, literature, music, education, etc in order to maintain a high Moral standard, keep things clean and respectable, promote a strong sense of Patriotism and honor, and prevent the dissemination of depraved filth which corrupts society.”
Hunger strikes can be effective.
They worked for Bobby Sands and company, thrown in prison for being a suspected IRA member, and galvanized the Irish nation against England and garnered world support.
I think Brandon would do better to fight this case head on and not strike, but it is his decision.
I wish Brandon well.
You are doing irreperable harm to your internal organs….when you stop eating your body starts eating you.

Remember, it’s the fear of fear that enables bullies – and so: Don’t blame the Jews, blame those that bend to their pressure. A minority can only dominate if the majority permits it.

Thanks, love. I wrote to 10 Downing Street and to the newspapers following his illegal arrest here in London and have been promoting his video on the Holohoax for quite some time.
We do live in a strange world, don’t we?
Thanks again.

Very happy to hear the latest news about how things are going for you.
Hope that the near term brings more of the same tidings.
This site and your level of work are a perfect match–hopefully you’ll have a column on here soon.
