It's not just the NY Times: hypocrisy is the very DNA, the essence of the left. Where are the Soros-funded leftwing smear machines like Media Matters, the Center for American Progress, Obama's OFA, and all of the feminazis women's groups? *Crickets chriping* *sheep bleating*
As for Sandra Slutgate Fluke (President Obama wants his daughters to be just like her!), she was unavailable for comment, as she is on extended holiday in Europe. I guess all the money she saved on birth control really paid off.
Leftwing puppetmaster, George Soros, empowering women to be beaten ..... whores (literally). Looks like Soro's nazi youth has served him well. Once a nazi, always a nazi.
George Soros has reportedly offered his ex-girlfriend’s cousin $250,000 to persuade her to drop her lawsuit against him.
Mauricio Carneiro, a lawyer, is the cousin of Adriana Ferreyr, 31, the ex-girlfriend of the 81-year-old billionaire. Carneiro claims that Soros offered him the money as a bribe to convince his cousin to drop her $50 million lawsuit against Soros, which included “claims of emotional torture, harassment and violence—all denied by the twice-divorced Soros.”
“Pursuant to your conversation with George Soros . . . I understand you may wish to be helpful with the situation,” the billionaire’s lawyer William Zabel wrote to Carneiro in an email seen by The News.
Carneiro fired back that he could not be bought. “I was shocked that George called me to offer me $250,000 in order to get my sympathy, get rid of her lawyers and settle the case.” …
Ferreyr and Soros dated for five years, and she says he dangled the promise of a luxury E. 85th St. pad three times.
In August 2010, while they were in bed, Soros told Ferreyr he had finally bought the apartment — for another girlfriend, according court papers.
An argument ensued, and the beauty claims the elderly man choked and slapped her and threw a lamp, cutting her foot.
''Since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, a group of right-wing activists who view themselves as 'anti-Jihadists' have aggressively tried to tie American Muslims to terrorism overseas and in the United States"
Program launched to teach press about Muslim sensitivities blames 'right-wing activists.' (hat tip Brandy)
A new course on Islam designed for journalists tries to minimize the impact and importance of ''jihad'' by comparing it to the number of murders in America each year. That same course claims ''right-wing activists'' tried to tie American Muslims to terrorism and doesn't mention examples of Islamic attacks on press freedom.
That's the way a prominent news organization is teaching journalists in a three-hour online course. The Poynter News University, part of the Poynter Institute, launched the free course ''Covering Islam in America'' to guide the media on their coverage of Muslim communities.
The George Soros-funded Social Science Research Council, which received $50,000 from the Open Society Institute ''For Initiative on HIV/AIDS and Social Transformation,'' is one of the groups behind the initiative, along with the Edward R. Murrow College of Communication at Washington State University. That fits with a theme for liberal financier Soros, who has spent more than $52 million on influencing the media. The Islamic course also links to another Soros-funded entity, the well-financed Center for American Progress.
In about 30 pages of text with links to other reports and articles, journalists can go through and read about the history of Islam, Muslims in America, and how to cover stories on Islam. Besides learning basic facts about Muslims and their history, the course adds ways to put ''jihad'' into perspective, attack conservatives, and provide a list of liberal groups that can be contacted for expert advice and quotes.
The pre and post-assessments give a hint as to the nature of the course. One question asked, ''What grievances might sources associated with 'Political Islam' hold against Western journalists?'' The answer is that ''Western journalists are seen as all of the following: ''hostile to Islam,'' ''focus too much on Islamic violence,'' ''viewed as water carriers for Western government agendas,'' and ''thought to be unable to understand Islam unless they embrace Islam.''
Course instructors Lawrence Pintak and Stephen Franklin are both former foreign correspondents. Pintak serves as dean at The Edward R. Murrow College of Communication at Washington State University, which is a partner of the project. He also has two books on journalism and Islam and defends the biased, activist network Al Jazzera English.
There is some useful information in the Islamic course for those journalists that did not pay attention in their history classes and are ignorant of Islamic beliefs. However, this does not excuse statements that accuse conservatives of bigotry.
''Since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, a group of right-wing activists who view themselves as 'anti-Jihadists' have aggressively tried to tie American Muslims to terrorism overseas and in the United States. You can learn more about some of these groups in the following...''
The reports that journalists are told to look at to uncover the ''right-wing activists'' agenda are even more telling. The first is a report from none other than the Soros-funded progressive group Center for American Progress, which received $7.3 million from the Open Society Foundations since the year 2000.
Fear, Inc.: The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America, details charitable groups that ''spent almost $43 million financing anti-Muslim campaigns.'' One of the coauthors of the report is the Koch-hating Lee Fang, who writes for Center's left-wing blog Think Progress. Fang continuously goes after the Koch brothers for their contributions to conservatives and Tea Party support.
The other report is by The Tennessean in Nashville titled Anti-Muslim Crusaders Make Millions Spreading Fear. This article details the story of ''activists who have raised millions of dollars after they convinced donors that the nation's Muslim population posed a security threat.''
Another section of the course also encourages journalists to add context to their stories. They note it is important to explain political motives stating ''Politicians do not oppose or support proposed mosques and other Muslim-American projects without taking into account their own interests.''
One of the more offensive statements is that ''context is essential in covering this global story in a way that does not amplify fears of jihad.'' Journalists ''are far more likely to report on jihad-related incidents than other violence' which gives people a ''skewed impression of the prevalence of jihad.''

When liberal investor George Sorosgave $1.8 million to National Public Radio , it became part of the firestorm of controversy that jeopardized NPR’s federal funding. But that gift only hints at the widespread influence the controversial billionaire has on the mainstream media. Soros, who spent $27 million trying to defeat President Bush in 2004, has ties to more than 30 mainstream news outlets – including The New York Times, Washington Post, the Associated Press, NBC and ABC.
Prominent journalists like ABC’s Christiane Amanpour and former Washington Post editor and now Vice President Len Downie serve on boards of operations that take Soros cash. This despite the Society of Professional Journalists' ethical code stating: “avoid all conflicts real or perceived.”
The investigative reporting start-up ProPublica is a prime example. ProPublica, which recently won its second Pulitzer Prize, initially was given millions of dollars from the Sandler Foundation to “strengthen the progressive infrastructure” – “progressive” being the code word for very liberal. In 2010, it also received a two-year contribution of $125,000 each year from the Open Society Foundations. In case you wonder where that money comes from, the OSF website is www.soros.org. It is a network of more than 30 international foundations, mostly funded by Soros, who has contributed more than $8 billion to those efforts.
The ProPublica stories are thoroughly researched by top-notch staffers who used to work at some of the biggest news outlets in the nation. But the topics are almost laughably left-wing. The site’s proud list of “Our Investigations” includes attacks on oil companies, gas companies, the health care industry, for-profit schools and more. More than 100 stories on the latest lefty cause: opposition to drilling for natural gas by hydraulic fracking. Another 100 on the evils of the foreclosure industry.
Throw in a couple investigations making the military look bad and another about prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and you have almost the perfect journalism fantasy – a huge budget, lots of major media partners and a liberal agenda unconstrained by advertising.
One more thing: a 14-person Journalism Advisory Board, stacked with CNN’s David Gergen and representatives from top newspapers, a former publisher of The Wall Street Journal and the editor-in-chief of Simon & Schuster. Several are working journalists, including:
• Jill Abramson, a managing editor of The New York Times;
• Kerry Smith, the senior vice president for editorial quality of ABC News;
• Cynthia A. Tucker, the editor of the editorial page of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
ProPublica is far from the only Soros-funded organization that is stacked with members of the supposedly neutral press.
The Center for Public Integrity is another great example. Its board of directors is filled with working journalists like Amanpour from ABC, right along side blatant liberal media types like Arianna Huffington, of the Huffington Post and now AOL.
Like ProPublica, the CPI board is a veritable Who’s Who of journalism and top media organizations, including:
• Christiane Amanpour – Anchor of ABC’s Sunday morning political affairs program, “This Week with Christiane Amanpour.” A reliable lefty, she has called tax cuts “giveaways,” the Tea Party “extreme,” and Obama “very Reaganesque.”
• Paula Madison – Executive vice president and chief diversity officer for NBC Universal, who leads NBC Universal’s corporate diversity initiatives, spanning all broadcast television, cable, digital, and film properties.
• Matt Thompson – Editorial product manager at National Public Radio and an adjunct faculty member at the prominent Poynter Institute.
Once again, like ProPublica, the center’s investigations are mostly liberal – attacks on the coal industry, payday loans and conservatives like Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour. The Center for Public Integrity is also more open about its politics, including a detailed investigation into conservative funders David and Charles Koch and their “web of influence.”According to the center’s own 990 tax forms, the Open Society Institute gave it $651,650 in 2009 alone.
The well-known Center for Investigative Reporting follows the same template – important journalists on the board and a liberal editorial agenda. Both the board of directors and the advisory board contain journalists from major news outlets. The board features:
• Phil Bronstein (President), San Francisco Chronicle;
• David Boardman, The Seattle Times;
• Len Downie, former Executive Editor of the Washington Post, now VP;
• George Osterkamp, CBS News producer.
Readers of the site are greeted with numerous stories on climate change, illegal immigration and the evils of big companies. It counts among its media partners The Washington Post, Salon, CNN and ABC News. CIR received close to $1 million from Open Society from 2003 to 2008.
Why does it all matter? Journalists, we are constantly told, are neutral in their reporting. In almost the same breath, many bemoan the influence of money in politics. It is a maxim of both the left and many in the media that conservatives are bought and paid for by business interests. Yet where are the concerns about where their money comes from?
Fred Brown, who recently revised the book “Journalism Ethics: A Casebook of Professional Conduct for News Media,” argues journalists need to be “transparent” about their connections and “be up front about your relationship” with those who fund you.
Unfortunately, that rarely happens. While the nonprofits list who sits on their boards, the news outlets they work for make little or no effort to connect those dots. Amanpour’s biography page, for instance, talks about her lengthy career, her time at CNN and her many awards. It makes no mention of her affiliation with the Center for Public Integrity.
If journalists were more up front, they would have to admit numerous uncomfortable connections with groups that push a liberal agenda, many of them funded by the stridently liberal George Soros. So don’t expect that transparency any time soon.
The House passed a bill Thursday - with many voting along party lines - to block federal funding of National Public Radio . The bill is not expected to pass the Senate and the White House opposes it.
Wait until 2012, those traitors in the Senate will thrown out, too
Texas Republicans, who all voted in favor of the bill, argue that the defunding of NPR isn't about ideological differences, but another way to curb government spending.
"The only way to control our federal debt is to re-focus our federal spending," said Rep. Joe Barton , R-Arlington. "This vote wasn't about ideology; it was about getting our fiscal house in order."
Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Dallas, said that defunding NPR was a "way to reduce job-destroying spending."
"NPR is widely recognized as a partisan media outlet that has long served as a platform for decidedly left-leaning programming and commentary," Hensarling said. "This is a highly objectionable trait for an organization that is funded by American taxpayers."
We owe James O'Keefe, American hero, and and his team over at Project Veritas an incalculable debt. Nice move releasing the third vdeo today :)
Here is part III in James O'Keefe's groundbreaking investigative journalism expose on NPR. I applaud O'Keefe and his team for exposing NPR's corruption and naked bias. I question the motives by websites on the right (like The Blaze) who have misrepresented O'Keefe's revelations and sought to downplay their significance. The video was blockbuster. Whose side are they on, and what is their agenda?
The Soros Connection: Despite the millions George Soros has given to NPR, he refused to have his name or organization listed. The secret influence buying of Soros is exposed in this video.
If you are unfamiliar with Soros’s actual past, remember that, as 60 Minutes reported in 2006, “While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews.” Is it any wonder he has funded the viciously anti-Israel, anti-Jewish J Street?
On March 8th, Project Veritas released Part 1 of its investigation of National Public Radio, followed by a second release. The investigation, in which Project Veritas investigators posed as members of a fictional group founded by "members of the Muslim Brotherhood," was widely reported in the media and produced a dramatic response from NPR and its board members.
The a[bove] video contains a full conversation between Project Veritas' undercover investigator, Simon Templar, and Betsy Liley, NPR's Senior Director of Institutional Giving along with James O'Keefe's call to George Soros' Open Society Foundation.
In addition, Project Veritas would like to thank Pamela Geller for her cooperation with Project Muslim Brotherhood.
My pleasure. I am sure Wonkette and Justin Elliott over at Salon won't let the facts get in the way of their smear campaigns, clowns. Good old fashion left-wing journalism at work!
Betsy Liley, the taxpayer-funded radio network’s director of institutional giving is heard saying controversial left-wing billionaire George Soros has donated to the organization before last October’s $1.8 million gift. Liley is currently on administrative leave, but her bosses, Ron Schiller, the president of NPR’s nonprofit foundation, and NPR CEO Vivian Schiller (no relation) were both fired.
Liley brought up Soros and his nonprofit organization, the Open Society Institute, while discussing what kind of on-air publicity the Muslim Education Action Center (MEAC) Trust would want in exchange for its donation. Liley mentioned that Soros and his organization decided they didn’t want on-air publicity for their donation to avoid conservatives’ scrutiny.
“George Soros and the Open Society Institute gave us $1.8 million, and they have decided not to use on-air credits because of what’s happening in Congress,” Liley said. When the man she thought represented the fictitious Muslim Brotherhood front group asked her how Soros’s donation and “what’s happening in Congress,” relate, Liley said conservatives tried to link Soros’s donation to Juan Williams’s firing.
“I think the first gift was within the first year he set up the Foundation, which was 10 or 15 years ago,” Liley said. “But, it was a different political situation and current events were a little different, and so, it went through – I was not here, but I think it went – there wasn’t a press hullabaloo. I mean, the Open Society Institute was getting – you know, the conservatives on some of the websites, were having people call his foundation. The press was calling and so, it became, kind of – you know they got roped into the Juan Williams thing, which they didn’t feel like they needed to be.”
Activist also tied to revolts against other U.S. allies across Mideast, North Africa
One of the main groups organizing protests against the pro-Western king of Morocco is funded by philanthropist George Soros and the U.S. State Department.
Soros' Open Society Institute also has funded opposition groups across the Middle East and North Africa, including organizations involved in the current chaos.The Human Rights Education Associates opened its offices in Morocco in 2004 with funds provided by both the State Department and the Open Society Institute.
It was a key supporter of Sunday's protests in Morocco demanding that King Mohammed VI's powers be limited while pushing for constitutional reforms that would allow opposition parties to join the government. The banned Islamist Justice and Charity is believed to be the country's biggest opposition force. It joined together this past Sunday with a coalition of leftist parties that held mass protests in cities across Morocco that turned violent.
Five burned bodies reportedly were found in a bank set ablaze in a north Moroccan town where some of the violence was reported.Morocco Interior Minister Taib Cherkaoui said yesterday 128 people, including 115 members of the security forces, were wounded in violence in several other Moroccan towns following this weekend's unrest.
The protests were organized under the umbrella of the "February 20 Movement for Change," which boasts 19,000 Facebook fans. It officially is calling for the 47-year-old king to dismiss the government and dissolve parliament. The protests were unusual for a country in which King Mohammed is widely considered popular, although Islamic groups seek his removal from office.
Mohammed, who took the throne in 1999, is an ally in the U.S.-led fight against terrorism. He even repeatedly has stated he is willing to normalize relations with Israel once a peace agreement is signed with the Palestinians. Mohammed is also Western oriented. He has dramatically improved Morocco's human rights record and has been a champion of women's rights and a more open economy.
The Soros-funded Human Rights Education Associates has been engaged in teacher training and national training for family judges in Morocco. It marks the latest connection of the philanthropist activist to protests sweeping the Middle East and North Africa.
Soros' Open Society Institute's Middle East and North Africa Initiative has provided numerous grants to a wide range of projects that promote so-called democratic issues across the region, including in Egypt, where the Muslim Brotherhood stands to gain from any future election. The Open Society also funded the main opposition voice in Tunisia, Radio Kalima, which championed the riots there that led to the ouster of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
WND reported last week an international "crisis management" group led by Soros long has petitioned for the Algerian government to cease "excessive" military activities against al-Qaida-linked groups and to allow organizations seeking to create an Islamic state to participate in the Algerian government.
Like Morocco, Algeria last week was the site of violent anti-regime protests.
The organization, the International Crisis Group, also is tied strongly to the Egyptian opposition movement whose protests led to the ouster of Mubarak.
Following protests that led to the resignations of Mubarak and Ben Ali – both key U.S. allies – Algeria similarly has been engulfed in anti-regime riots.
Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has ruled the country with a tough hand. And he has been an ally of the U.S. in fighting al-Qaida.
Islamist parties serve as Bouteflika's main opposition.
The International Crisis Group, or ICG, which includes Soros among its eight executive committee members, long has petitioned for the reformation of the Algerian government and for the inclusion of Islamist political parties, two groups that seek to turn Algeria into an Islamic state.
In a July 2004 ICG report obtained by WND, the ICG calls on the Algerian government to curb military action against al-Qaida-affiliated organizations, particularly the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, GSPC, which, like the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, aims to establish an Islamic state within Algeria, and an armed Islamic terrorist group known as Houmat Daawa Salafia, or HDS.
Soros' ICG names the two Islamic groups in its recommendations to the Algerian government.
"Give top priority to ending the remaining armed movements, mainly the GSPC and HDS, through a political, security, legal and diplomatic strategy," states the ICG report.
"Avoid excessive reliance on military means and do not allow these movements' purported links to al-Qaida to rule out a negotiated end to their campaigns," continued the ICG's recommendation to the Algerian government.
The ICG has issued at least six other reports recommending Algeria transition to a democracy that will allow the participation of the Islamic groups seeking to create a Muslim caliphate.
Once again the ADL comes down decidedly on the side of nazis and annihilationists. This latest is incomprehensible. It was horrible when the ADL denied the Armenian genocide, the Muslim annihilation of millions of Christians ..................but attacking Beck in the morally bankrupt and dishonest defense of nazi-lover and notorious anti-Israel crusader Soros? Huh?
New York, NY, November 11, 2010 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today criticized as "completely inappropriate and offensive" remarks by Glenn Beck on his radio and television programs, in which he inaccurately connected George Soros, who was then a young boy, to the actions of others in sending Jews to death camps during the Holocaust.
On his November 10 radio show, Beck described how Soros, who was born in Hungary to Orthodox Jewish parents, "used to go around with this anti-Semite and deliver papers to the Jews and confiscate their property and then ship them off. And George Soros was part of it. He would help confiscate the stuff. It was frightening. Here's a Jewish boy helping send the Jews to the death camps."
Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director and a Holocaust survivor, issued the following statement:
Glenn Beck's description of George Soros' actions during the Holocaust is completely inappropriate, offensive and over the top. For a political commentator or entertainer to have the audacity to say – inaccurately – that there's a Jewish boy sending Jews to death camps, as part of a broader assault on Mr. Soros, that's horrific.
Abe Foxman is a pox on our house. He is probably angling for a Soros "donation." And he'll get it, too. He'll need it. I imagine self-defining Jews have been fleeing the destructive ADL for years.
Beck is right. It is true. Don't kill the messenger. As a proud Jew and passionate zionist, I thank Glenn Beck.
Soros is funding the antisemitic J Street group that is hellbent on delegitimizing and eliminating Israel (screenshot above right are the J Street haters on the White House visitor logs).
Atlas has been following George Soros, the black hand, since 2005. He has his own category here.
Described by the New York Times as "the world's single largest donor" (Dec. 17,1996), Soros uses his philanthropy to change -- or more accurately deconstruct -- the moral values and attitudes of the Western world, and particularly of the American people. While others give to the arts and higher education, or to better the quality of the lives of their fellow men, Soros funds campaigns for euthanasia and to legalize illegal drugs [and J Street]. -- Rachel Ehrenfeld, Author, New York, USA
Back in October 2006, Atlas posted about Soros' extensive ties with the nazis, not just as a teen but in the very business dealings that built his fortune:
Atlas Shrugs October 2006; This exchange on 60 minutes between George Soros and Steven Kroft gives you a glimpse at what lurks in the "heart" of a soulless evil man. No mention is made of Soros' alleged collaboration with Nazi financier Francois Genoud (they were both ONE WORLDERS) after the war (more here.)
Extended quotation from the 60 Minutes transcript follows:
When the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1944, George Soros' father was a successful lawyer. He lived on an island in the Danube and liked to commute to work in a rowboat. But knowing there were problems ahead for the Jews, he decided to split his family up. He bought them forged papers and he bribed a government official to take 14-year-old George Soros in and swear that he was his Christian godson. But survival carried a heavy price tag. While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews.

KROFT: (Voiceover) These are pictures from 1944 of what happened to George Soros' friends and neighbors.
(Vintage footage of women and men with bags over their shoulders walking; crowd by a train)
KROFT: (Voiceover) You're a Hungarian Jew...
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.
KROFT: (Voiceover) ...who escaped the Holocaust...
(Vintage footage of women walking by train)
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Mm-hmm.
(Vintage footage of people getting on train)
KROFT: (Voiceover) ...by--by posing as a Christian.
Mr. SOROS: (Voiceover) Right.
(Vintage footage of women helping each other get on train; train door closing with people in boxcar)
KROFT: (Voiceover) And you watched lots of people get shipped off to the death camps.
Mr. SOROS: Right. I was 14 years old. And I would say that that's when my character was made.
KROFT: In what way?
Mr. SOROS: That one should think ahead. One should understand and--and anticipate events and when--when one is threatened. It was a tremendous threat of evil. I mean, it was a--a very personal experience of evil.
KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.
Mr. SOROS: Yes. Yes.
KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from the Jews.
Mr. SOROS: Yes. That's right. Yes.
KROFT: I mean, that's--that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many years. Was it difficult?
Mr. SOROS: Not--not at all. Not at all. Maybe as a child you don't--you don't see the connection. But it was--it created no--no problem at all.
KROFT: No feeling of guilt?
Mr. SOROS: No.
KROFT: For example that, 'I'm Jewish and here I am, watching these people go. I could just as easily be there. I should be there.' None of that?
Mr. SOROS: Well, of course I c--I could be on the other side or I could be the one from whom the thing is being taken away. But there was no sense that I shouldn't be there, because that was--well, actually, in a funny way, it's just like in markets--that if I weren't there--of course, I wasn't doing it, but somebody else would--would--would be taking it away anyhow. And it was the--whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator, the property was being taken away. So the--I had no role in taking away that property. So I had no sense of guilt. (George Soros, 60 Minutes interview transcript, December 20, 1998)
I received intel from David W on the connection and association of George Soros and Nazi Third Reich’s treasure keeper Francois Genoud.
Genoud was part of the Nazi party. He met with and funded the Grand Mufti under orders from Hitler. He managed the hidden Nazi treasury after the war, and funded the defense of many of the Nazis’ and terrorists up until his suicide. He admitted to being the creator of the 1972 hijacking of a commercial plane by Palestinians. He was creator and owner of Arab Commercial Bank of Switzerland that many muslim countries and terrorist organizations use, and he used the banks money to fund the operations of terrorism, and the defense of many of his allies, he may have even started his bank with the Nazi treasury that was stolen goods and gold from the Jews.
He is on record saying that Adolph Hitler wanted the Nazi National Socialist Movement to proceed in the Third World countries of the world. He has been printed saying the Hitler wanted the movement to move from Naziism, to Islamism and to carry on the National Socialism movement to gain control of the world and to exterminate Jews. Hitler, Genoud, and the Grand Mufti agreed that the only war for this to happen was to inflame the Middle East countries. Genoud then funded the organizations that would do this. Genoud funded David Irving in 1982 a writer but with no training in history to discredit Ann Franks Diaries, stated that the extermination of Jews never occurred, Hitler knew nothing of the prisoner camps, and that only 1 million Jews died.
Genoud is also quoted as saying that Hitler and he agreed that for the National Socialist movement to wil and control the world another war would never have to be faught. And that the Third World countries could win.
Soros and Genoud were ONE WORLDERS. This would also be the reason why we see the agendas and causes that Soros is behind and funds. Also why he stands in the way of Bush and Bolton, and wants America to be disarmed. His money is dirty.
There is a lot of further information regarding Soros’s and Genoud’s banking and currency backgrounds that are quite interesting regarding world currency manipulation.
George Soros is the source of the dirty money behind the front group to destroy Israel, J Street, as J Street executive director Jeremy Ben Ami has finally admitted to the media, after lying about it since the group’s founding: “I accept responsibility personally,” said Ben Ami, “for being less than clear about Mr. Soros‘ support once he did become a donor.”
Of course it was Soros. George Soros vowed years ago to start an anti-Jewish organization under the nefarious guise of a Jewish organization, in order to counter the influence of the American Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC). He knew full well that there would be lowlife Jews who would be only too happy to serve as funktionshäftling.
He assisted the Nazis, so is it any wonder he wants to destroy the Jew? If at first you don’t succeed…
If you are unfamiliar with Soros’s actual past, remember that, as 60 Minutes reported in 2006, “While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews were being shipped off to the death camps, George Soros accompanied his phony godfather on his appointed rounds, confiscating property from the Jews.”
And now Soros has given $750,000 to J Street. Another $811,697 came from a mysterious woman in Hong Kong named Consolacion Esdicul, who has apparently acted as a representative for Black Rock, a New York hedge fund with close ties to… George Soros.
Numerous outlets are reporting that Soros is the dirty money behind the front group to destroy Israel, J Street. Of course it was Soros. Soros vowed years ago to start an anti-Jewish org to counter AIPAC under the nefarious guise of a Jewish organization, knowing full well that there would be lowlife Jews who would be only too happy to function as funktionshäftling.
What galled me was the tragic gullibility of leading American Jewish organizations that insisted Soros was not funding J Street. I spoke to numerous heads of various organizations after J Street had been established and they were parroting the leftist/Islamic narrative that it wasn't Soros financing it.
It took extraordinary delusion. Back in October of 2006 (before there was a J Street), I reported on Soros pairing with "dovish Jews" to consider an alternative to AIPAC in order to, at the very least, undermine it, and eventually destroy it (go here).
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10,2006 (JTA) – A top staffer for billionaire philanthropist George Soros met recently with senior representatives of the dovish pro-Israel community to discuss setting up an alternative to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, JTA has learned.
Morton Halperin, a director of Soros’ Open Society Institute and a veteran of senior positions in the Clinton, Nixon and Johnson administrations, confirmed to JTA that the meeting took place late last month. He would not add details.
“It was a private meeting, it was an effort to get this off the ground,” said Halperin, who directs the institute’s U.S. advocacy.
Of course, it was common knowledge that J Street was an anti-Israel, anti-semitic, fringe organization that no one took seriously. Think Code Pink. That is, until Obama. Obama is a longtime Soros toy, so it was no surprise when White House visitor logs had J Street president Jeremy Ben-Ami as a frequent visitor.
Despite Obama's tacit support of this dangerous group and O's preference for the company of Jew-haters, the vile anti-Jewish J Street is being shunned by K street, Congress, and anyone with an ounce of basic human decency. Only Obama sanctioned this stain on humanity. Another revolting notch in the belt of the enemy in the White House.
Crypto-anti-Zionist J Street is a 501(c)(4) organization, allowing it to keep the source of its funding under wraps. But Eli Lake, an enquiring reporter from the Washington Times, got a peek anyway and here's what he found:
The Jewish-American advocacy group J Street, which bills itself as the dovish alternative to the influential American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) lobby, has secretly received funding from billionaire George Soros despite previous denials that it accepted funds from the Hungarian-born financier and liberal political activist.
Tax forms obtained by The Washington Times reveal that Mr. Soros and his two children, Jonathan and Andrea Soros, contributed a total $245,000 to J Street from one Manhattan address in New York during the fiscal year from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2009 .
The contributions represent a third of the group's revenue from U.S. sources during the period. Nearly half of J Street's revenue during the timeframe — a total of $811,697 — however, came from a single donor in Happy Valley, Hong Kong, named Consolacion Esdicul.
Perhaps the strangest thing in Eli Lake's story on the funding of the liberal group J Street is that it got half of its money in 2008-9 from a single, obscure woman in China.
The group's 990 forms -- which I've also obtained and put online for the first time here -- show the group's single largest contribution, in the odd sum of $811,697 coming from one Consolacion Ediscul of Happy Valley, a Hong Kong suburb. Ediscul, whose name is Filipino, has no presence on Google or Nexis aside from this story, and people I spoke to in Jewish groups left and right had never heard of her. According to Smith, a J-Street spokeswoman says that Ediscul is an associate of a well-known and successful gambler, but provided no other information.
A reader (see comments) located what he believes to be Ediscul's Facebook profile. It has had no activity since May, and has no friends or entries other than to an online cooking game:
and here being photographed with Jackie Chan at a charity event in Hong Kong:
The commenter who noted these pages referred to The Advantage Trust as being related to Blackrock investments, but it appears to be controlled by or at least related to William Benter, the successful businessman / gambler mentioned in the Ben Smith post. So if the elusive Ms. Esdicul contributed to the charity in Honk Kong on behalf of The Advantage Trust, was her contribution to J-Street also using money from The Advantage Trust and/or Benter?
And this from a commenter:
The mysterious large donor, Consolacion Esdicul, is better known as "Connie Esdicul" and even has a Facebook page. She appears to be a middle-aged woman who lives in the wealthy Happy Valley area of Hong Kong.
Ms.Esdicul has some unknown relationship with the New York hedge fund Black Rock and represented them at a charity event in HK. She presented a donation for Quality Camp to actor, Jackie Chan, from the Black Rock Advantage Fund in HK.
Black Rock has close ties to Soros ever since one of its founders, Keith Anderson, was appointed Chief Investment Officer of Soros Fund Management 2 years ago.
Chicagoland gangsta style racketeering in the White House. We are living in an age of lawlessness by the effete elite, while the persecution of the common man becomes commonplace. It's ugly.
And Obama is handing over our national treasure to America-hater and self professed nazi George Soros, who was mentored by and was a longtime associate of Francois Genoud, Hitler and the Grand Mufti's banker:
Genoud is notable for being the executor of last will and testament
of Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, and for reportedly making a fortune from
publishing Goebbels' diaries; later he would attain an equal measure of
notoriety for bankrolling the legal defenses of Adolf Eichmann and Klaus
Barbie.[1]
Nazi hunters such as Serge Klarsfeld and Simon Wiesenthal, journalist David Lee Preston and
others have asserted that his role as a benefactor for surviving
National Socialist interests goes much deeper, offering evidence that
Genoud was no less than the principal financial manager of the hidden
Swiss assets of the Third Reich after WW II,[2]
and would use his banking contacts to set in motion networks that later
became known as ODESSA, which sponsored evacuation of key Nazi
leaders into Morocco, Spain and
Latin America.
In 1958 he founded the Arab Commercial Bank, which would be active in
lending money to Arab nationalist groups and as the chief repository
for the Algerian National Liberation Front,[3]
in Geneva in 1958, and in 1962 was named Director of the Arab People's
Bank in Algiers.[4]
He is also believed by Swiss authorities to have been the founder of
Lugano-based al Taqwa Bank, which was shut down in 2002 for
reputed status as a funding conduit for al Qaeda and Hamas.
Preston, David Lee. "Hitler's Swiss connection". Philadelphia Inquirer(January 5, 1997):
Note: One month after Swiss banking officials and Jewish leaders announced an agreement to set up an independent commission, chaired by former US Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volker, to search for the whereabouts of funds deposited in Switzerland by Holocaust victims, a Swiss citizen named Francois Genoud committed suicide. Author David Lee Preston suggests that Genoud's suicide may be linked to the new commission as well as to Senator D'Amato's investigations for the U.S. Senate Banking Committee and class action lawsuits against Swiss banks filed by Holocaust survivors and victims' heirs. Genoud, a Nazi enthusiast and friend of Hitler's, worked with Swiss and German intelligence during WWII; he was then active in setting up the ODESSA network for the transfer of money from Germany and the evacuation of key Nazi leaders at the end of the war. Postwar, Genoud used his wartime contacts to become an advisor to Arab causes and anti-Israel activities.
Accusations of favoritism swirl in deals for institutions seized by government
A company formed by an investor group that includes billionaire George Soros
swooped in to purchase a failed California bank in the latest acquisition by the
company, despite controversy surrounding some of its previous bank takeovers.
OneWest Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, for the acquisition of all of
the deposits and certain assets of La Jolla Bank.
The acquisition is the latest in a string of failed bank purchases for the
California-based OneWest, a federal savings bank formed by an investor group
that includes billionaire George Soros and Dell Inc. founder Michael Dell.
According to a press release, under the terms of the transaction OneWest
acquired $3.6 billion in assets, including $3.3 billion in loans, and $2.8
billion in deposits of La Jolla, as of Dec. 31, 2009. The FDIC and OneWest have
entered into a loss-sharing agreement covering a majority of the acquired loans.
Last March OneWest completed the purchase for $13.9 billion of the failed
lender IndyMac Federal Bank, described as one of the largest casualties of the
housing crisis. IndyMac had been seized by the government prior to OneWest's
purchase.
OneWest also reportedly acquired and will continue to operate Financial
Freedom, one of the nation's largest reverse mortgage businesses, as part of
that deal.
Another bank which recently entered a deal with OneWest is First Federal Bank
of California, which had been closed by the FDIC. All deposits were transferred
to OneWest, with California locations reopening as branches of OneWest Bank.
Investment News quoted insiders as saying the true draw for the kinds of
purchases by OneWest are the properties and real estate debt the banks hold.
The government is, increasingly, the enemy. Imagine the jobs, the wealth, the independence, and cutting the jihad snake off at the head. There is no downside. We could easily extract that oil with minimum impact to the trees.
Why do you think they are brainwashing the children with all the "green" vomit? Going green, cleaning green, talking green, dressing green, shtupping green. Ayn Rand said back in 1970, "Ecologists predict universal doom and demand totalitarian power on the basis of arbitrary hypothesis, which sets back the possibility of such a science centuries. The ecology disgraces science. It is a political and publicity movement...........They have no right to impose their 'wisdom' by force on the rest of mankind. Those who agreed with them would be saved, those who didn't would perish. But this is an absolute: no discovery, no concept, no fact can give any individual or group the power to enforce their conclusion on others".
The green movement wants to "eliminate industry and labor-saving devices, and if the standard of living declines, that's too bad - we must preserve nature. Anyone who is against industry is against man, against life, against reason."
I don't vouch for these numbers. I don't know exactly how much we have - I do know we need to drill baby drill.
I got this from Cathi via the Mission Viejo chapter of ACT! for America.
About 6 months ago I was watching a news program on oil and one of the Forbes Bros. was the guest. This is out of context, but this is the actual question as asked. The host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer, how much oil does the U.S. have in the ground." Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "more than all the Middle East put together." Please read below.
The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April ('08) that only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since '95) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota ; western South Dakota ; and extreme eastern Montana ..... check THIS out:
The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska 's Prudhoe Bay , and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable... at $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion.
'When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea..' says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyst.
'This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years' reports, The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It's a formation known as the Williston Basin , but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' And it stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada . For years, U. S. oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves.... and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!
That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years straight.
2. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - because it's from TWO YEARS AGO!
U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World!
Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006
Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. In three and a half years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this motherload of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore drilling?
They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the official estimates:
- 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
- 18-times as much oil as Iraq
- 21-times as much oil as Kuwait
- 22-times as much oil as Iran
- 500-times as much oil as Yemen
- and it's all right here in the Western United States .
HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people dictate our lives and our economy.....WHY?
James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post.
Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price - even with this find? Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace, - it has to. Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?
For decades, Democrats have blocked efforts to responsibly develop this nation's energy resources, transforming vast areas of opportunity into "The No Zone." (hat tip Jim)
Democrats have blocked the development of new sources of petroleum. Democrats have blocked drilling in ANWR. Democrats have blocked drilling off the coast of Florida. Democrats have blocked drilling off of the east coast. Democrats have blocked drilling off of the west coast. Democrats have blocked drilling off the Alaskan coast. Democrats have blocked building oil refineries. Democrats have blocked clean nuclear energy production. Democrats have blocked clean coal production.
The
U.S. is going to lend billions of dollars to Brazil's state-owned oil
company, Petrobras, to finance exploration of the huge offshore
discovery in Brazil's Tupi oil field in the Santos Basin near Rio de
Janeiro. Brazil's planning minister confirmed that White House National
Security Adviser James Jones met this month with Brazilian officials to
talk about the loan.
The U.S. Export-Import Bank tells us it
has issued a "preliminary commitment" letter to Petrobras in the amount
of $2 billion and has discussed with Brazil the possibility of
increasing that amount. Ex-Im Bank says it has not decided whether the
money will come in the form of a direct loan or loan guarantees. Either
way, this corporate foreign aid may strike some readers as odd, given
that the U.S. Treasury seems desperate for cash and Petrobras is one of
the largest corporations in the Americas.
Chevron U.S.A. Inc. announced that the Discoverer Clear Leader -- an ultra-deepwater drillship -- has begun work in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico, allowing Chevron to expand its search for new domestic sources of energy. Chevron
is forced to develop new technology to drill in the Gulf's deepwater
since most of the US is off limits to oil companies -- thanks to Democrats. (There's video at the link.)
Barack Obama's pal George Soros, "The Black Hand," is heavily vested in PBR, Brazilian Petroleum, which
Obama loaned money to through the US Import/Export bank -drill offshore oil and
development. Which they wouldn't do here in Alaska or Utah.
1.Petroleo Brasileiro S.A.Petrobras (PBR) - 9,818,323 shares, 15.42% of the total portfolio 2.Hess Corp. (HES) - 5,123,198 shares, 10.56% of the total portfolio 3.Petroleo Brasileiro S.A.Petrobras (PBR-A) - 5,884,700 shares, 7.53% of the total portfolio 4.Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan Inc.

Note that there are two Petrobas stock numbers (PBR and PBR-A, numbers 1 & 3 listed above). The absolute corruption of the absolute power of the Soros-Obama connections.
Could Soros be behind the demonization of the CIA? At his Open Society Institute website he has this blurb about his documentary. This man is evil, but could he possibly have this much influence on Obama? I say, yes.
Torture on Trial, a documentary video produced by Link TV,
examines how detainees held in U.S. military and CIA custody as part of
the "war on terror" were subjected to interrogation methods that
amounted to torture, how these methods came to be authorized by
high-level Bush administration officials, and the mounting demand for
accountability for torture. The half-hour program premieres on Sunday,
May 3, on Link TV at 10:00 p.m. ET, and can be viewed online at LinkTV.org.
Torture on Trial
features interviews with two investigative journalists who leaked
details from a confidential International Committee of the Red Cross
report documenting the physical abuse of detainees held by the CIA in
secret "black site" prisons—Jane Mayer, staff writer with The New Yorker and author of The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How The War on Terror Turned into a War on American Ideals,
and Mark Danner, U.C. Berkeley journalism professor. The report
describes in graphic detail how detainees were slammed against walls,
placed in excruciatingly painful positions, subjected to waterboarding,
and deprived of sleep for prolonged periods.
The program also
features interviews with two leading human rights activists, Elisa
Massimino, executive director of Human Rights First, and George
Hunsinger, founder of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture.
Additionally, the program features interviews with Retired Col.
Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin
Powell, and Maj. Matthew Alexander, a U.S. Air Force interrogator, who
offer military perspectives on how the use of torture is
counterproductive and harms U.S. interests. They also urge a full
airing of this tragic chapter of American history so that these
mistakes are not repeated.
Torture on Trial was supported by a grant from the Open Society Institute's National Security and Human Rights Campaign.
I said the J in J Street, the fake Jewish lobbying group, stood for jihad, not Jewish. I was, of course, right. It's no wonder this group of wannabe Jew killers were welcome at the White House:
The J Street political action committee has received tens of thousands of dollars in donations from dozens of Arab and Muslim Americans, as well as from several individuals connected to organizations doing Palestinian and Iranian issues advocacy, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
Additionally, at least two State Department officials
connected to Middle East issues have donated to the PAC, which gives money to
candidates for US Congress supported by J Street. The organization describes
itself as a "pro-Israel, pro-peace" lobby pushing for more American involvement
and diplomacy in resolving the Middle East conflict.
Arab and Muslim donors are extremely rare for other
organizations that describe themselves as supporters of Israel as J Street does,
Jewish leaders at organizations across the political spectrum told The Jerusalem Post. Because most of these other
organizations are not PACs, however, US law does not require them to release
their donor lists. J Street's non-PAC arm also does not release a complete list
of contributors
There's more. Want to fight back against this century's nazis?
Z Street and the Z for zoooooom, baby. There is a wonderful new organization, Z Street,
that was created to counter the growing Jewicidal influence the left
wing anti-Jew Jews have in the anti-Israel Obama administration. I
wrote about it here.
J Street, the marginal, fringe, alleged Soros group, given such
credence by the White House, should be put on notice. The Jewish people
have a real voice that speaks to the existential needs of the Jewish
community (the J in J Street stands for jihad, don't let them fool you).
"We need to show everyone that it isn't only those on the left who know
how to organize," said Lori Lowenthal Marcus, a long-time Zionist
activist and, with Allyson Rowen Taylor, a Z Street founder. Her point
of reference, and the inspiration for the name Z Street, was the
well-known Jewish-American far-left advocacy group J Street and its
associated Capitol Hill political action committee.
They are having a huge rally in DC, where I, among others,
will be speaking. If you can get down to DC in support of Israel at the
end of October, please join us. This group speaks for those who love
and support the state of Israel.
Lori Lowenthal Marcus penned this piece for the American Thinker:
There is a chilling scene
in the 2002 movie "The Pianist." In it the train was already chugging
along on the path to insanity and destruction, but before all was
destroyed. The family of the protagonist has been moved into the
Warsaw Ghetto and the head of the family is sitting at a table, reading
a newspaper. He looks up and says, "I blame the American Jews."
He was talking to me.
At
least, that's how I heard it. I resolved then not to be our time's
analog of a World War II American Jew -- you know, the ones who read
the newspapers, see what is happening to Israel, mutter "tsk, tsk" and
turn the page.
Others
have had similar epiphanies, but the light from our bulbs going off is
obscured by the clouds of appeasement and apologies, dressed up as
tolerance and even-handedness.
For
several years we have agonized over the gathering storm of hostility
towards Israel, and the organizational human shields which eagerly
validate those positions. Finally we decided that action - an
immediate, decisive, in-your-face facts war, was imperative. Allyson
Rowen Taylor and I spent a few hours on the phone and created Z
(Zionist) Street.
Z STREET is based on these ironclad positions:
The
right of the Jewish people to a state, and the right of Jews to live
freely anywhere, including inhaling oxygen in areas the world insists
are reserved for Arab Palestinians;
Relishing the terms "Jewish State" and "Zionism" - ones currently derided as shameful instead of sources of pride;
Circulation of facts -- not deceptive "Palestinian" narratives -- about the Middle East, Israel and terrorism;
Condemnation
of those who revile Israel for actions they ignore when taken by
Israel's enemies and virtually all states throughout history;
Categorical
rejection of agreements with, or concessions to, terrorists (or
their supporters) who are dedicated to Israel's destruction.
Unlike
other organizations that claim to be pro-Israel, Z STREET will not
pander to politicians who invite us to their offices and pay attention
to our pocketbooks but ignore our positions. For those who do not
embrace our principles, there are plenty of other organizations to
join. This catalyzing organization seeks to change the way discussions
about Israel are crafted and viewed.
A
fuel source previously untapped has been released: within days of the

The
rising groundswell is in part a response to organizations whispering
into the ear of this US administration that pervert the meaning of
"pro-Israel." Their ultimate loyalty is to left-wing principles
including a secular Israel and tolerance of terrorism only when
directed at Jews. They are ashamed of an avowedly Jewish State, yet
completely comfortable with 22 Muslim ones, and are actively seeking
the creation of a 23rd, based in Jerusalem, whose governing documents
call for the destruction of Israel.
hedge-fund legend
George Soros. He took in $1.1 billion, partly by making "a good call
against the dollar," said Alpha. The dollar rebounded starting in
August, ending a years-long decline.
UPDATE: So Soros is showing off how he raped the people. Will Obama comment on this? Will Soros puppets in the Hussein administration rail against this - or will they continue to place in effigy the AIG execs, this week's straw men. Depraved.
George Soros, who predicted the global financial crisis twice before, was one of the few people to anticipate and prepare for the current economic collapse.
Mr Soros said his prediction meant he was better able to brace his Quantum investment fund against the gloabal storm.
But other investors failed to take notice of his prediction and his decision to come out of retirement in 2007 to manage the fund made him $US2.9 billion.
And while the financial crisis continued to deepen across the globe, the 78-year-old still managed to make $1.1 billion last year.
'It is, in a way, the culminating point of my life’s work,' he told national newspaper The Australian.
Soros is one of 25, top hedge fund managers from across Wall Street who have defied the credit crunch crisis to reap a total of $11.6billion (£7.9bn) last year.
On Friday, President Obama reiterated for the umpteenth time his determination
to develop a "new relationship" with the Muslim world. On this occasion, the
audience was the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Unfortunately, it increasingly appears that, in so doing, he will be embracing
the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood – an organization dedicated to promoting
the theo-political-legal program authoritative Islam
calls Shariah and that has the self-described mission
of "destroying Western civilization from within."
As part of Mr. Obama's "Respect Islam" campaign, he will travel to Turkey
in early April. While there, he will not only pay tribute to an Islamist
government that has systematically wrested every institution from the secular
tradition of Ataturk and put the country squarely on the path to Islamification.
He will also participate in something called the "Alliance of Civilizations."
Bat Ye'or said the following of the Alliance of Civilizations in a speech given at the Counter Jihad conference in Brussels in 2007: The Alliance of Civilizations, created to oppose the clash of civilizations, that is jihad, hasalso added pressure. On 13 November 2006, the High-Level Group of the Alliance ofCivilizations presented its report which sums up the request of the OIC at its Mecca Summit in 2005, after the Cartoons affair. First, it adopts the Islamic view of history and politics byclaiming that everything was fine between the three monotheistic religions until the 19thcentury, when the evil of European colonialism and Zionism destroyed this harmony. Then itaffirms that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the main source of Christian-Muslimantagonism, not the jihadist war and ideology that deny for others the right to exist. It proclaims that this conflict “remains one of the gravest threats to international stability” and formulates recommendations that again echo the OIC requests. Such views mirror Hitler accusing the Jews of fomenting World War II, or the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, praisedin the Hamas charter, the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood which denies Israel’s
right to exist.
The recent meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (and here)
(OSCE Conference on intolerance and discrimination against Muslims, Cordoba, 9-10
October 2007) is much of the same, a charter of dhimmitude. It examines the means to
condition Europeans to respect Muslim immigrants and accept their culture. Although racism
against Muslims as well as against any other should be punished, nowhere do we see in any of
these texts a genuine desire to understand the fears of Europeans aggressed in their own
country by local jihadist cells, their anger at the Muslim scriptures and history loaded with
anti-Jewish and anti-Christian stereotypes which they bring into Europe, the continual
incitement to hate and war against the infidels, particularly against Israel and America, the
inferiority of women and the legal oppression of non-Muslims. The accusations of
Islamophobia totally overlook these facts as if they emerge from a vacuum. The Eurabian
moral dishonesty that incriminates Israel’s self-defense in order to exist is now projected onto
Europe, guilty when protecting itself against Islamic terrorism. Our self-defense is considered
an aggression that victimizes Muslims. We are in fact in a logic of dhimmitude within Europe.
The Alliance is a UN-sponsored affair that reflects – as, increasingly do
most things the United Nations is involved in – the views of the Organization of
the Islamic Conference (OIC). The OIC is made up of 57 Muslim-majority nations.
Thanks to support from Saudi Arabia and its proxies, the Muslim Brotherhood has
become a driving force within the Conference and their agendas largely coincide.
For example, in 2005 a communiqué issued after a summit in Mecca declared:
"The Conference underlined the need to collectively endeavor to reflect the
noble Islamic values, counter Islamophobia, defamation of Islam and its values
and desecration of Islamic holy sites, and to effectively coordinate with States
as well as regional and international institutions and organizations to urge
them to criminalize this phenomenon as a form of racism."
The logic of dhimmitude.
Ominously, as part of its bid to "criminalize" Islamophobia, the OIC is
seeking "deterrent punishments." It insists that not only freedom of expression
but all human
rights
be circumscribed by the OIC's 1990 Cairo Declaration on Human
Rights
in Islam, which concludes with the caveat that, "All the rights and freedoms
stipulated in this Declaration are subject to the Islamic Shariah." Translation:
Liberties enshrined in the UN's foundational Universal Declaration of Human
Rights are largely rendered null and void.
The demand that no criticism of Islam be permitted is the preeminent
feature of the Muslim Brotherhood's efforts in the West. In fact, it is but the
leading edge of the Brothers' bid to suppress public awareness of the threat
posed by their program in societies that pride themselves on religious
tolerance,
thereby facilitating seditious penetration and influence operations by the
Shariah-adherent.
A playbook for the latter can be found in a publication issued last fall by
the U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project that is being aggressively promoted to the
Obama administration and Congress by a number of its non-Muslim participants.
Notably, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright recently effusively
presented the Project's book entitled Changing Course: A New Direction for U.S.
Relations with the Muslim World to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Former Congressman Vin Weber did the same at Grover Norquist's weekly meeting of
conservative activists last week.
Underwritten largely by George Soros' and other left-wing foundations,
Changing Course seems to reflect predominantly the recommendations of groups the
government has established are Muslim Brotherhood fronts, such as the Islamic
Society of North America and the Muslim Public Affairs Council. Both are
represented in the Engagement Project's "Leadership Group." Accordingly, its
book calls for:
"engagement with groups that have clearly demonstrated a commitment to
nonviolent participation in politics" (read: the Brotherhood);
"not equat[ing] reform with secularism, nor...assum[ing] that reformers who
advocate some form of Shariah as the basis for the rule of law will inevitably
abuse human rights or adopt anti-American policies";
"not supply[ing] additional ammunition to extremists by linking the term
‘Islam' or key tenets of the religion of Islam with the actions of extremist or
terrorist groups";
Launching "an education program comparable in scale" to "the more than $7
billion" invested in the "post-Sputnik U.S. commitment to math and science
education" to "education on Islam and Muslims, sustained over a decade or more,
focused on teacher training and curriculum in middle and high schools, and
colleges."
Emboldened by the promise of this influence operation and the apparent
willingness of the Obama administration to embrace the Muslim Brotherhood's
agenda – in part, if not in its entirety – the organization's assorted fronts in
America are becoming ever more audacious. In response to a long-overdue decision
taken by the FBI
last year to terminate "sensitivity training" of its agents by one of the most
prominent of these fronts, the Council on American
Islamic
Relations (CAIR), assorted Brotherhood groups and operatives reportedly intend
to announce that Muslims will henceforth cease any and all cooperation with U.S.
law enforcement until CAIR is rehabilitated.
Such a step would not only call into question the patriotism of the many Muslims
in
America
who do not embrace the Brotherhood's Shariah agenda – something that would,
presumably, be as offensive to them as it would be troubling to the rest of us.
It could also expose those engaged in it to criminal charges of "misprision of
felony," conspiring to withhold information from the authorities concerning
terrorist operations and activities in the Muslim
community.
Thereby killing any hope, any hope at all of real reform of Islam.
The message should go forth: Friends of the Muslim Brotherhood are no
friends of America. We follow their guidance at our peril.
The left, as its history painfully shows, has always aligned itself with the totalitarian ideology du jour. The jihad could never have made such enormous strides into Western society without the leftards carrying their water.
Those on the right considered themselves safe from dhimmitude and oppression. Wrong.
Defenders of America have been acutely aware of the infiltration of Political Islam into Conservative circles. It's why I along with Robert Spencer and David Horowitz brought Geert Wilders to CPAC. It was the only event at the largest gathering in CPAC history that spoke to Islamic Supremacism, freedom of speech and the war on jihad.
What is the next phase in the Muslim Brotherhood's project to overtake America? And how is America caving to Islam? It's happening right before your very eyes.
Read this document US MUSLIM ENGAGEMENT - Changing the Course".It's the absolute Obama blueprint. It's all George Soros money and the usual cast of suspects - Madeline Albright, Richard Armitage, Ingrid Mattson, Lugar, Ross ... the obvious cast of craven quislings.
The proposal for "reducing distrust"? Surrender. The document is deeply informed by the objectives of the OIC and the ummah. It is a blueprint for our dhimmitude. It's the basis for Kerry's hearing taqiyya and that garbage Fareed Zakariah article (cover) in Newsweek on how we have to accept Islamic governments and shariah.
Take a look at page 80 and what they are doing with your infidel dollars:
SPUDNIK!? vis a vis Islam?
Wait -- and if that were't disastrous enough. They are recommending Homeland security reduce the rejection rates for applicants from Muslim countries.
Grover Norquist is a conservative activist and the president of Americans for Tax Reform. He is also well-known in Washington D.C. circles as a friend of Islam. Since the 1990s he has held weekly “Wednesday meetings” in which he briefs fellow conservatives and helps plot strategy for the Republican party.
But yesterday it was Mr. Norquist’s turn to be briefed.
A few days ago I wrote about John Kerry’s speech on the Senate floor touting the U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project. Yesterday Mr. Norquist’s group was briefed by Vin Weber, a member of the leadership group of the same U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project.
According to several attendees who were present at Grover Norquist’s Wednesday meeting, the participants — presumably including members of Congress — were offered paperback copies of the “Changing the Course” document (pdf), which outlines the steps needed to help the United States achieve reconciliation with the Muslim world.
Unfortunately for non-Muslims in the United States, this prescription involves more engagement and more appeasement. It calls for yet more dialogue with and respect for Islam, and includes a special emphasis on removing Hamas and Hezbollah from the list of terrorist groups so that they can be recognized as legitimate negotiating partners.
The involvement of Mr. Norquist’s group raises questions about of the extent of Islamist infiltration throughout the conservative NGO groups.
If anyone is curious why this year’s CPAC — which has just folded its tents — didn’t have a single panel on radical Islam or the war on terror, remember that Grover Norquist is on the board of the ACU, which sponsors CPAC.
CPAC conservatives have now fallen into line. They don’t use words like jihad, nor do they associate Islam with terror. They have their ACU marching orders.
What’s more, attendees at Mr. Norquist’s meeting yesterday received the Muslim Brotherhood-approved game plan for the Obama administration.
No, not to critique it.
No, not to oppose it.
To get in line and support it.
What is it, exactly? - - - - - - - - - As I mentioned above, paperback copies of the how-to manual for American appeasement “Changing the Course” were distributed to attendees, along with a helpful lecture from Vin Weber (Ingrid Mattson, president of ISNA and Weber’s colleague on the US-Muslim Engagement Project, was sadly absent). Mr. Norquist is making sure that conservatives have the “politically correct” position — that is, Obama’s position. The same position held by Ingrid Mattson and the Muslim Brotherhood. Which, coincidentally, is also the position of Senator John Kerry and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who testified to Kerry’s committee under her US-Muslim engagement project affiliation on February 26.
If we lived in a sane world, revealing all of this to the American public would cause a stir.
But this is not news. It’s a “dog bites man” story.
Still, it’s a damned dangerous dog — and from time to time it still bites.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you want to learn more about Grover Norquist and his inside-the-Beltway operations, Paul Sperry’s website and his book Infiltration are recommended reading.
I’ll just include a few excerpts from his supporting documents:
8.1a
Canceled checks for major donations to GOP powerbroker Grover Norquist’s nonprofit Islamic Institute from now-convicted terrorist Abdurahman Alamoudi, who provided seed money for the controversial Washington think tank, which has a stated goal of “promoting the appointments of Muslims to positions of influence.”
8.1b
Check for donation to Norquist’s Islamic Institute from the Safa Trust, an alleged terror-underwriter based just outside Washington. It is part of the notorious Safa group, which investigators believe runs a terror-support group using Muslim charities and think tanks as cover.
[…]
8.2a
Norquist’s Islamic Institute was a sponsor of the 2000 anti-Israel rally at the White House in which Muslim leaders such as Alamoudi shouted their support for terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah. This press release called a “Friday Brief” — which has been removed from the institute’s website — shows that it strongly advised Muslim members to attend the event. It directs questions to the institute and also to Alamoudi’s American Muslim Council, which has staffed much of the institute
For additional documentation, see the Sperry Files.
No doubt Grover Norquist and his Wednesday meetings will continue, and Washington Republicans will become even more well-informed about the benefits — both spiritual and financial — that Islam brings to the United States and its elected representatives.
This is why the government should stay out of everything except defense. They are selling us out to the enemy. SOROS SHOULD BE LISTED AS A TERROR ORG AND ANYONE AND EVERYONE SHOULD BE BANNED FROM DOING BUSINESS WITH THE CHIEF TERRORMASTER.
The FDIC has just announced that a
consortium of private equity and hedge fund firms would be buying IndyMac.
IndyMac was an independent "bridge bank" spun off of Countrywide Mortgage in the
late 90s. IndyMac acted as a "bridge bank" to Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac.
New York Democrat Charles [dump the upChuck!] Shumer
precipitated the fall of IndyMac in May of 2008 by
releasing "inside" information that the mortgage company was in dire financial
straits. This disclosure created the initial "bank run" that is credited by
many economists as the initial trigger that prompted the current mortgage
crisis. The FDIC took over the operations of IndyMac in late summer of 2008.
So much for history. George Soros
is in on the deal to buy IndyMac from the FDIC. Soros has a
long history of making loads of money by first creating a financial crisis and
then stepping in to grab up the bargains. Perhaps the most famous example of
this tactic is "Black Wednesday," when Soros nearly sunk the entire economy
of Great Britain through currency speculation.
George Soros has helped bankroll
the campaigns of the Democrats in Congress who created this mess. Now, it
appears, he is cashing in on his investment.
Soors has been talking the economy down for a year( and
probably making tons of money shorting the markets) in order for the situation
to favor a new Democratic government. Before you know it the USA will be like
the EU socialist countries.First you break the back of the largest financial and
manufacturing entities and everything else falls into place......unless the GOP
grows a backbone (hat tip s)
Soros:
Definitely. I think this is a great opportunity to finally deal with global
warming and energy dependence. The US needs a cap and trade system with
auctioning of licenses for emissions rights. I would use the revenues from these
auctions to launch a new, environmentally friendly energy policy. That would be
yet another federal program that could help us to overcome the current
stagnation.
SPIEGEL: Your proposal would be dismissed on Wall Street as
"big government." Republicans might call it European-style "socialism." Soros:That is exactly what we need now. I am against market
fundamentalism. I think this propaganda that government involvement is always
bad has been very successful -- but also very harmful to our society. SPIEGEL: Would you advise the new president to say that
publicly? Soros: He has already spoken about changing the political
discourse. I think it is better to have a government that wants to provide good
government than a government that doesn't believe in government.
Hedge-fund billionaire and left-wing political activist George Soros
has become one of the Democratic Party's most important players. Now
that Barack Obama is in the White House, his influence is due to expand
even further as the web of activist groups he funds becomes the new
brain-trust of the incoming administration.
Mr. Soros has been a friend to Barack Obama since Mr. Obama first
ran for Senate in Illinois in 2004. Because of a special provision of
the campaign finance law that allows greater contributions to
candidates who are running against millionaires, Mr. Soros was able to
donate $60,000 to Mr. Obama's campaign against primary opponent Blair
Hull and then against Republican Jack Ryan. Four members of the Soros
family also donated to Mr. Obama's Senate campaign, making Mr. Obama
one of only a handful of candidates -- including Hillary Clinton, Tom
Daschle and Barbara Boxer -- to receive the richest Soros nod.
Mr. Soros's influence on Democratic policy has been years in the
making, through groups like the Center for American Progress, which he
helped underwrite back in 2003 (along with film producer Stephen Bing)
to the tune of several million dollars. CAP is currently headed by
former Clinton Chief of Staff John Podesta, now Mr. Obama's transition
team leader. With 180 staffers and a $27 million budget, the group is
expected to play a role in the Obama administration similar to that
played by the American Enterprise Institute during the Bush years, as a
feeder for staff and a pusher of liberal ideas.
The problem for Mr. Obama, of course, is that not all Mr. Soros's
ideas fly as well with voters as with the New York and D.C.
cognoscenti. The Soros connection already created trouble for Mr. Obama
last year over the billionaire's comment that Democrats should
"liberate" themselves from the influence of the pro-Israeli lobby. Mr.
Soros also is a prominent advocate of drug legalization. So while the
hedge-fund legend may pour money and staffers into the Obama
administration, Warren Buffett is likely to remain the billionaire Mr.
Obama still prefers to share photo-ops with.

The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need? And then people tell me about pilgrimages to some dank pesthole in a jungle where they go to do homage to a crumbling temple, to a leering stone monster with a pot belly, created by some leprous savage. Is it beauty and genius they want to see? Do they seek a sense of the sublime? Let them come to New York, stand on the shore of the Hudson, look and kneel. When I see the city from my window - no, I don't feel how small I am - but I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body."
