So This is Self Defence?

Warning: This video is very upsetting

I realise some of you may have already seen this. But I feel an obligation to post it. The Israeli tactic of blocking all communication from the ship and detaining the passengers for days allowed Israeli doctored pictures to be the only ones broadcast by the mainstream news media. Despite the crudity of the tactic, the MSM have happily gone along with the idea that once alternative footage finally became available, it was no longer “news”.

We of the new media therefore have an obligation to do what little we each can to expose the lies, propaganda and twisted agenda of the mainstream media.

    I agree eddie; but combine it with the locality, and the time, then compare with witness statements, and it maybe the correlating evidence that shows ‘everything’; especially cover-ups.

    The other previous longer video shows more interesting material. The Israeli assassins had a photographic catalogue of those on the boat who were scheduled for summary execution.

    These are barbarians.

    eddie,

    Plainly that is nit true. It is not a blank screen. Let me have your idea of what the Israeli soldiers were kicking?

    How can you say that the video shows nothing eddie when it clearly does?

    It shows two soldiers intently stomping and kicking something out of view, which thereafter gets shot more than once as you can clearly see the guns recoil action going through his body.

    Once again, just as Craig earlier, I question the cowards who lobbied hard to exclude maritime experts being interviewd internationally on this incident.

    Craig, amongst others I’m sure, would be able to give his expertise on the subject in a coherent impartial manner, regardless of his personal opinion, as are others.

    So, who or what is stopping the BBC,CNN,Sky,AlJazeera news networks asking these questions, debating the issue, differentiating between piracy and an act of war, explain the ins and outs of the NATO doctrine, what paragraph 5 means to members,etc., who’s jurisdiction such an attack falls under and much more, when will we see these uncomfortable questions raised and debated as they should have been?

    Not that the eddies of this world would have an answer, but they’ll try and move mountains to stop this openess from happening, upholding the bias with belligerence, diversion, and an unusual secrecy over this outrageous massacre, but also keeping it in people’s mind.

    My interweb connexion is on ‘treacle mode’ so can’t watch the video; however, it does raise the point that people should go tooled up and bob wifi cameras on boats and other such vehicles. Beat them at their own game – get professional about it.

    Look we all know Goy live mean nothing to Zionists.

    First stage, Deny it happened.

    Second stage when deniability becomes impossible, belittle what happened.

    They shot a whole bunch of people. Out of them they admitted 9 died.

    And the rest were beaten.

    Zionists think this was a good thing. Not just a good thing, they think more should have been killed!

    So what is the point of proving to them people were murdered when they support murder even though they deny it?

    I have said again and again, Zionists are Nazis.

    Larry is a Nazi, Michael is a Nazi they are all Nazis.

    They are just going through the Nazi motions.

    What do Nazis say about Jews being killed in ww2?

    They say it didn’t happen, and they say more should have been killed.

    Now, what is the difference between what they say, and what the Zionist Nazis say?

    The issue isn’t about whether they were murdered. The issue is Israel and Israel’s supporters will always support each and every murder Israel does, not just support, but they will call on Israel to murder more.

    One has to wonder what all the “confiscated” material the Israelis stole from the crew might have shown. How come the old adage “if one has nothing to fear, one has nothing to hide” does not hold when it comes to this bunch of thugs? How come the criminals who murdered these innocents get to decide what evidence may be released?

    “Let me have your idea of what the Israeli soldiers were kicking?”

    Probably just a rat. A big one though or they wouldn’t have bothered shooting it.

    Dick: Israel jammed all communications from the boat and (tried to) confiscate all recordings. AFAIK there were a lot of recordings (stills, handheld video, CCTV).

    I haven’t seen the full hour-long Iara Lee video, only the 15 min version in Craig’s previous post.

    However I was very struck by the fact that Lee was still filming at dawn, a couple of hours after the initial attack, when the Israeli assault boats came alongside. I took this to mean that the helicopter assault actually failed. Not only were three commandos captured, but the rest were penned up in a small part of the ship, or had to be taken off.

    I note that we haven’t had the media doing diagrams of the assault – the Sunday Times used to love doing this kind of thing when I was young – and the sequence of events still remains confused.

    I’m sure the viciousness of the Israelis has a lot to do with the fact that they were really in trouble. Much more trouble than we have been given to think.

    Mainstream media are afraid of the Israelis, as demonstrated by BBC boss Mark Thompson’s grovelling to war criminal Ariel Sharon in 2005.

    I’m sure we’d all have good reason not to fund Israeli propaganda by refusing to pay the licence fee.

    Or maybe not. The whole thing is like some sick perverted joke.

    Alexno, I also have my doubts about their effectviness, because usually they are not that coy and secretive when they conduct a rogue military mission.

    Maybe that the only reason why theyr have confiscated everything, they made a right cock up and had to shoot their way out fo trouble, but, some activists seem to have been killed in a deliberate fashion, as if there was a hit list.

    The lack of intricate disection and debate of the laws and conventions involved, by the global media is deafening like silence in a desert.

    I have not had any reply from my MP to my letter questioning the Government for not condemning Israel for its breaches of international rights, not a dicky bird.

    “To cloud this straightforward issue, Israel immediately attempted to control the coverage by kidnapping and holding the human rights activists incommunicado for several days. Israel also took the activists’ recording devices and videos. Thus Israel was able to spread its version of events without challenge in the crucially important first few days.

    Unlike most of the U.S. mainstream media that simply parroted Israeli military sources, a few reporters including Max Blumenthal (http://maxblumenthal.com/) actually investigated Israeli claims. They found several Israeli misrepresentations and, as a result, Israel retracted or clarified some of its key false charges. Blumenthal said: “The lesson of the debacle is that nothing the IDF [the Israeli military] says can be trusted by anyone. Not ever.”

    Most of the activists are now free and their stories strongly contradict the Israeli version. However, since many of the mainstream media have now moved on to other stories, Israel’s false version of events is still out there and accepted as gospel by many.”

    The government’s efforts to avoid a thorough and credible investigation of the flotilla affair seem more and more like a farce.

    http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/opinion/the-public-has-a-right-to-know-1.295797

    The Haaretz haaretz.com/

    also reported today that the Israel risks losing Poland, another close ally, over the extradition of Uri Brodsky, who is widely believed to be one of the Mossad spies allegedly involved in the January assassination.

    Brodsky, who is an Israeli citizen, was arrested earlier this month in Poland’s capital city of Warsaw after revelations showed that he helped the Mossad hit squad to obtain forged German passports to assassinate al-Mabhouh in a Dubai hotel room.

    Germany has demanded that Brodsky be extradited, where he could be tried in a German court or even sent to Dubai for his suspected role in the assassination.

    Brodsky has denied having connections with the high-profile assassination and says he is a businessman, but evidence show him being involved in logistics, providing paperwork, safe houses and other back-up for the 20-strong execution squad.

    Israel, for its part, is pressuring Poland to refrain from handing Brodsky over to Germany — leaving Warsaw officials in an awkward position, in which they are torn between Tel Aviv’s demands and Berlin’s repeated calls for Brodsky’s extradition.

    This is while Germany and Poland have an extradition agreement, both bilateral and through European treaties.

    However, Polish officials have strived to keep the lid on Brodsky’s arrest, which was based on information provided by the Dubai and United Arab Emirates police and on an international arrest warrant issued in Germany via Interpol.

    btw:

    The official inquiry into the unlawful killing of 14 unarmed men by British soldiers on Bloody Sunday is due to be released after 12 years.

    The probe known as the Saville report will be released on Tuesday.

    The Zionist Trolls are conspicuous by their absence trying to defend this IDF actions in this Video. Normally they would be more vocal crying antisemitism, self defence, racism. They know they do not have any argument moral, legal or human to justify such callous murder of unarmed civilians before the eyes of the wold. Regev the chief Hasbara spokesman has become an international Joke trying to justify Israeli Atrocities only the BBC and US MSM take him seriously. See this Excellent piece.

    One or two things wrong with this.

    First, an eagle with 20-20 vision and night-vision goggles couldn’t see anyone being shot or kicked.

    Second, the soldiers couldn’t have been Israelis, because – as Borat tells us – Jews have horns.

    Third, the organisation which owned the ship, IHH, is affiliated with the Union of Good, an umbrella organisation created and controlled by Hamas. Therefore, the Mavi Marmara was within the Hamas chain of command and a military vessel feigning civilian status and misusing whatever flag she was flying.

    Fourth, all the men who were killed were mujahidin and therefore not protected civilians, because they were Muslim men past adolescence and responding to the call to wage jihad.

    Why were they not in uniform, and what business did this warship have taking others on board who were civilians in good faith?

    “…they made a right cock up”

    They seem to have been making a few of these recently. Having the Dubai hit plastered all over the TV and press was a little careless. As was getting caught out presenting 6 year old photos of the aid-workers’ ‘weapons’. Not to mention the amateurishly-faked video footage and audio transmissions.

    What has happened to Mossad? Can’t they get the staff these days? Perhaps it should change its motto to: “By way of deception, thou shalt appear a bumbling buffoon”.

    OMG. So Craig Murray, once again you’ve demonstrated an inability to correctly judge evidence when you really really want to believe something.

    At best (for your position), this video shows IDF soldiers kicking a man when he’s down. But I wonder if he had just attacked the IDF soldiers, and I wonder if he was trying to get up to continue his attack. Some of these fuckers do intend to be martyrs at some point.

    But 4 kill shots? Ha! I count exactly zero discharges coming out of that weapon. He points the weapon down twice and checks his clip (or something like that) once.

    What’s with the red target outline placed there by the video producers? Probably to obscure the fact that THERE WAS NO FUCKING MUZZLE FLASH.

    Craig, if you get called for jury duty and one of the parties is a Jew (or “Zionist” in your words), you should recuse yourself.

    I have said that Michael Petek was a Nazi Before, and with this comment:

    Michael Petek at June 13, 2010 3:37 PM

    Michael Petek has confirmed everything I have said about him, including what Craig has deleted.

    “therefore not protected civilians, because they were Muslim men ”

    What I have said about him and Larry has been confirmed.

    His point 1 and 2 are what I call the “Deny”

    His point three and for are what I call the “Support and call for more”

    He is a Nazi as can be seen by the Nazi Arguments he uses.

    Everyone read this.

    And this confirms what I wrote.

    With one mouth the Nazi state the murders didn’t take place, and with the other they support the murders. Not just support they call for more, according to this Nazi, all Muslim men can and should be killed.

    But the truth is the killings are not restricted to men, they kill women and babies too. And when they do, whether it is in secret or infront of Cameras,

    Michael Petek will still deny it. When he and other Nazis can’t think of how to deny it they will say:

    “the soldiers couldn’t have been Israelis, because – as Borat tells us – Jews have horns.”

    Larry – Turkish (aka Greek coffee aka Cyprus coffee aka Arabic coffee) coffee is particularly good for maintaining alertness. Perhaps you might visit a delicatessan and buy some. I would recommend it. But there again, you’ve got the Seattle Coffee Company right where you are. Don;t drink too much though, it might keep you awake all night and we can’t be having that, can we.

    The confiscation of cameras, etc. will lead an endless discussion about whether such-and-such footage was or was not indicative of so-and-so.

    The crux is that nine people were killed violently by Israeli armed forces on a ship in international waters. I keep coming back to this fact.

    What he is saying is clear. It is just that he is so twisted we refuse to see it.

    What he is saying is Israel has a right to kill them. Not because the soldiers were defending themselves against the unarmed, but because the men they killed were Muslim men.

    What he is saying is Muslim men have no right to life.

    That anyone is allowed to kill them.

    Because he says, every Muslim man should be seen as a soldier, whether armed, whether unarmed. whether fighting, sleeping or shitting on a toilet.

    Basicly he is saying about Muslims what Hitler said about Jews.

    He is a Nazi.

    The justification for killing Turks on a ship is Some people in Iraq killed some Christians during American occupatio.

    So was the head of the Army!

    There were Christian all over the government!

  44. Michael Petek

    13 Jun, 2010 - 5:08 pm

    In answer to your small question, MJ, what the hell I’m talking about is this.

    According to the manual of Islamic law, Ummdat as-Salik (Reliance of the Treveller), everyone is obligated to jihad who is a Muslim male, past the age of puberty and sane.

    The Mavi Marmara and Hamas were at both ends of a military chain of command, which makes the Marmara, by status, equivalent to a warship, though feigning civilian status. So were the men who were shot, as they had boarded the vessel in answer to the summons to jihad issued by Hamas.

    Pretending to be a civvy is perfidy and liable to get you shot in cold blood even after capture.

    Ummdat as-Salik also states that jihad is etymologically related to mujahada, which connotes war to establish the religion.

    If someone declares and wages eternal war against infidels, don’t be surprised if some of them hit back, kill the mujahidin and do all sorts of gruesome things to them.

    Larry is right. The video clip in Craig’s post shows a soldier preparing his gun. Craig’s clip is wrong by six seconds.

    Congratulations, Larry. This man did indeed live six seconds longer than the clip above indicates.

    And yes, Larry, maybe it was some other gun that is heard to fire, and the smoke was from something else. But ultimately, there is a body where there was a 19 year old man.

  49. Arsalan

    13 Jun, 2010 - 5:21 pm

    I said it before. For the Zionists it isn’t about whether the Zionists murdered the people on the ship. Because they already agree with any murder Israel will ever do, or has ever done.

    When they say “Israel didn’t murder” it is a false flag. Because even if Israel did murder they would support it. Just look at what Micheal patak is saying. He is calling for the killing of every Muslim man!

    And makes no secret of it.

    What he does is justify it.

    He justifies it by pointing at the Islamic religion, and justifies it by attacks on others.

  50. Arsalan

    13 Jun, 2010 - 5:23 pm

    13 Jun, 2010 - 5:24 pm

    Michael Petek: I rather doubt that the ship was under Hamas control. That just sounds like panicky, post de facto Israeli propaganda to me. But even if it were true that the whole operation was under the Hamas control the point surely is that the ship was carrying nothing but food and medical aid, the passengers had no weapons and it was sailing perfectly legally in international waters.

    The lengths you are prepared to go to defend the indefensible is truly breathtaking.

    Larry,

    are you in favour of a full and impartial international inquiry?

    Did you check the link I posted? If so, what do you think? It seems pretty clear to me. You were right, the soldier checks his clip. Then we hear four shots, but the camera is pointing elsewhere. The camera turns back, smoke, probably gun smoke, drifts towards the camera. OK, it’s not proof in itself. But I expect that this documents Furkan Dogan’s execution. How do you rate the balance of probability?

    To Michael PAtek it doesn’t matter whether the Ship was filled with Hamas, or not. As long as the people killed were Muslims, they can be killed.

    Why?

    Just look at his justifications:

    Justification 1:

    Muslims kill people, so if a Muslim, any Muslim any where kills someone. Lets say in Iraq. It is ok to kill all Muslims. So Israel was right to kill Muslims on that ship.

    Justification 2>

    He regards all Muslim men as fighters.

    So it doesnt matter whether or not they were Hamas. Because they were Muslim me, they can be killed.

    Arsalan – “The thing is Craig can’t tell too.”

    Yes, I remember that exchange. I think that was what led me to notice it; he’s become his own parody.

    Anybody who quotes Borat as though it were a factual reference is clearly taking the piss out of something. Maybe he’ll tell us what, eventually. In the meantime, the sillier a statement is, the more it works as a troll – there’s always someone who feels the need to correct it.

    Richard Robinson I think it might have got to the stage where Michael Patek no longer knows what he says as fact and what he says as a parady?

    He may well have lost all touch with reality?

    I’ve noticed that a lot with extreme rightin general and Zionist Christians who are always extreme right in particuler.

    They just say things and do things without knowing or caring about what they say and do.

    And I think Israel has got to this stage too. In the past Israel acted like a lunitic state, because Israel believed if they acted as such no one will touch them.

    I think Israel has now crossed the line, Israel is no longer acting and has now become a lunitic state.

    It has got to the stage now when they are attacking fellow Zionist Jews as antisemites, attacking ships of its allies on the high seas. It has lost all conection with reality and so has its supporters.

    In the past Zionists used to secretly work togeather with far right Nazis.

    Now they demonstrate hand in hand!!

    You see Zionist Jews waving Nazi flags!

    You see Zionist Jews holding hands with skinheaded Nazis waving Israeli flags in the streets of London.

    They have united with the people who put jews in consentration camps. not secretly, but openly.

    They have lost all connection with reality.

    And if the Nazi they are supporting now ever take power, it would be too late. Because the Nazi have made clear on their websites that they are only supporting Israel because they need Jewish support to take power, once in power they want to complete what they tried to do before.

    War Criminal & Warmonger Averts French Court Move…

    Ehud Barak cancels France visit due to flotilla commission

    Barak staying out of France because of flotilla

    Defense Ministry reports that Barak will remain in Israel until team of experts investigating flotilla raid announced. Over weekend, sail participants declared intention to sue defense minister

    Roni Sofer

    Published: 06.13.10, 12:09 / Israel News

    Defense Minister Ehud Barak unexpectedly announced Sunday morning that he will not be traveling to Paris for the international military exhibition, Eurosatory.

    The Defense Ministry reported that Minister Barak decided to remain in Israel until the team of experts investigating the raid on the Gaza-bound flotilla is announced.

    Over the weekend, French activists who took part in the flotilla to the Gaza Strip announced that they intend to file a lawsuit against Barak both in France and in the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Three members of French parliament have joined the effort.

    Barak was slated to leave Sunday morning for an official two-day visit to Paris, where he would inaugurate the Israeli booth at the international military exhibition and meet with defense and foreign ministers.

    On Friday, political officials said that Barak had no intention of canceling his trip, and that the legal department of the Foreign Ministry along with others in the judicial system were taking action to provide him with adequate defense should the case indeed be filed. However, at the last minute, Barak did indeed decide to cancel.

    Regarding his previous visit to Paris, Barak was harshly criticized by State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss regarding his delegation’s extravagant hotel expenses at the Paris Air Show in 2009.

    “A sign that Michael Petek is the Second Coming. Or possibly the Third Coming. Or possibly The Beast.”

    Michael Petek is the whore of Babylon, the mother of all Harlots.

    Or at least he serves her?

    Actually he does?

    Come to think of it he does!!!!

    Christian Zionist support Israel, because they believe it will speed up the rapture, bring on the rule of the antichrist, resulting in Christ coming to kill him.

    That means he supports Israel because he thinks Israel is the Whore of Babylon due to be lead by the beast!

    He does this thinking he will have time to change sides at the last minute when Jesus comes.

    He is knowingly serving the Whore of Babylon, the mother of Harlots.

    Hay guys, this isn’t an insult or a Parady. It is actually his beliefs, you can do a search for Christian Zionist theology to confirm it.

    Am I right Michael, is that what you are up to?

    When ever I read Islamic or Christian books about the rapture, I always found it difficult to understand how people could serve the antichrist when he is so clearly evil.

    Why could’t they see the person they serve is the antichirst..

    But the issue is, people like Micheal serve him with their eyes wide open. Serve him knowing exactly who he is and what he is, with the mistaken belief they can change side in the last minute!

    I also found it difficult to understand how people like micheal could serve a country as anti Christian as Israel.

    But I understand now, He is serving who he believes is the whore of babylon, thinking the Anti Christ will come to lead that country and then he will be able to serve the antichirst to spead up the rapture!

  107. Arsalan

    13 Jun, 2010 - 9:14 pm

    Freeborn and co is a friend who I/we have major disagreements with. But we can work togeather because he/they do not call for the deaths of anyone. He/they are against people being killed and oppression.

    He/they don’t support what hitler did, I never heard him say such a thing or read it on his links.

    So he is not the enemy, he is a friend that we disagree with.

    Larry, Micheal and the other Zionists are the enemy, they support deaths, torture and war.

    They support hate and strife.

    When the Zionists say Israel has killed no Palestinians, they all ways make clear that they wish Israel did. And they will still support Israel if it did.

    Micheal makes it clear that he supports the killing of ALL MUSLIM MEN.

    He has said this many times. And LArry has never attacked him for it even when asked.

    Freeborn has never called for the killing of all Jews, no one here has.

    Because We all know the real Jews are on our side.

    The real Jews were on those boats being beaten up by the same Zionists who shot the turks. The real Jews are always at the front of our antiZionist demonstrations.

    We all know this.

    I must have missed those comments of Petek’s. I suggest you email Craig with them and ask for a retraction or a ban. Other rpoblems with him aside, I have never heard Larry argue for the killing of anyone.

    You are getting confused with the Jewish issue, my friend (and I feel friendly towards you). You are starting to believe your own propaganda about ‘real Jews’. I understand, about the Israeli regime, since in the same way Bush et al were patently not ‘real’ Christians. But most Jewish people are sick to death of slaughter and hate and have no idea what to do about it. Just as you had no idea how to stop Blair from attacking Iraq. I don’t see any comment from you on the recent peace protests inside Israel, for example. Would that be because they don’t suit your agenda? Please don’t be blinded.

    I deleted some holocaust denial comments tgis morning but I’ve bben watching the World Cup since. It’s one of the few things I do delete.

    I haven’t said anything about the video showing someone being shot four times. What it does show undoubtedly is Israeli soldiers repeatedly kicking something or someone on the floor while pointing their guns at it or them. Without more analysis it is not plain if it shows them shooting.

    Given the context and othe rinformation we have available, we can be reasonably sure it is a person they are kicking and covering with their guns. Plainly that person is in no position to threaten them and the one thing this video indubitably does not show is Israeli soldiers acting in self defence.

    I basically agree with you. I have two criticisms of Apostate under his various names. I followed his ‘goodnewsaboutgod’ link by ‘Freeborn’ at 6:56 PM, to a page that blames and accuses Jews in general. And I regard his use of multiple names as essentially dishonest.

    The posting of such links plays into the hands of violent Zionism by giving them grounds to shout “Antisemitism!”. And his posting under multiple names, that appear to be five people backing each other up amplifies the problem, opening us to accusations of being ‘infested with antisemites’.

    To be fair to Apostate (Freeborn), about a fifth of the way through, the ‘goodnewsaboutgod’ article makes a distinction between “elitist Jews” and “rank and file Jews”. He is welcome to study such stuff himself, but I see no place for it here, where it is counter productive. Israeli atrocities should be criticised in their own right, not as some extension to a conspiracy theory about WWII.

    The sad thing re-Mr Murray’s deletions of Holocaust revisionist material is his assumption that none of it could possibly come from Jewish sources.

    A typical example of precisely the Hollywood Holocaust propaganda the establishment left absorbed with their mother’s milk.

    Edwin Black who wrote The Transfer Agreement re-how Nazi-Zionist collaboration during the 1930s built the infra-structure of what became the Israeli state-is Jewish.

    Hennecke Kardel who described the same collaboration in Hitler:Founder of Israel-is Jewish.

    David Cole who went to the Auschwitz “extermination” camp and returned adamant that it was no such thing and said so on the Phil Donahue Show was hounded into hiding by B’nai B’rith/ADL thugs-is Jewish.

    Why Mr Murray are you censoring Jewish researchers and abetting Zionist lies and propaganda?

    Obviously you take the patently ethnocentric line that all Jews are Zionists.

    P.S. Can you answer the question you were asked about 3 hours ago-are you or are you not running a Holocaust-fundamentalist website here?

    Anti-Zionist Holocaust researchers are rotting in prison because they challenge-and fully document their evidence-the indecently threadbare Holocaust establishment narrative.

    You are deleting all references to Zionist involvement in international finance,Reform Judaism,the Holocaust,911,7/7 and all the other crimes against humanity for which there is abundant evidence they are responsible.

    Just how long do you really think it’s going to be possible for you remain in denial?

    Michael – if it was Michael and not some other astral body – yes, Omid Djalili is superb!

    I agree, Clark, just as come of Michael’s comments (though I’m never sure which of them emanate from Michael Petek and which from Beelzebub or the spirit of Farrokh Bulsara) make it more difficult for aggressive pro-Israel commentators to be taken seriously herein, so some of Apostate’s make it more difficult for critics of the Israeli state’s actions to make those criticisms without being tarnished with the same brush, as well as increasing the risk of the site being unfairly and LOUDLY ‘branded’ at every available opportunity (as you’ve pointed out and as has been demonstrated very recently in this thread).

    I’m not sure whether either of those points requires censoring of the relevant comments. I think, though, on balance it’s better to try and do what you’ve suggested, I sense, and what Craig’s doing and achieve a sensible modulation wit some basic ground-rules. It’s a blog, therefore it has an opinion wrt certain matters. If people want to read stuff ‘beyond the red flags’, there are plenty of other places on the web to find it.

    Are you taking it upon yourself to invent hate laws that haven’t even been passed yet?

    Holocaust fundamentalism is an infringement against free speech not to mention it’s an insult to people’s intelligence.

    Is there anything else you want to censor,Mr Murray?

    You just trashed your liberal credentials Big Time!

    How pathetic!

    Like any historian worthy of the name is going to start researching a topic by giving a prior guarantee s/he will not challenge the establishment narrative?

    Craig it I am not calling people who disagree with me a Nazi. Near enough everybody here disagrees with me, and I disagree with near enough everybody here.

    I call Micheal a Nazi because he has stated that all Muslim men Should be killed.

    So when I call him a Nazi it isn’t about me saying “Well that you say all Muslim men should be killed, I say they shouldn’t lets talk about it”.

    And he hasn’t just said it once, he says it over and over again.

    Posted by: Michael Petek at June 13, 2010 3:37 PM

    His forth point.

    Craig take that line, replace Jew with Muslim.

    Does it sound like a disagreement now?

    Or does it sound like Nazism?

    And you know he has said that same things many times, on many posts.

    I am not screaming Nazi the way those bastards scream antisemite.

    I am calling Nazis, Nazis when they call for the extermination of a whole people.

    And even though I disagree with Freeborn and co, I don’t consider what they/he does as crossing the line. If you used the same rule of holocoast denial on the Zionists, you would delete every post they make, because they always deny what ever Israel does, just before they justify it.

    Freeborn, has never done to the Zionists what they do to others. He has never called for bad things to happen to them the way the Zionists, especially Micheal calls for the extermination of all Muslim men.

    True he does his own side no service by those statements. But Angry and Larry have never disasociated themselves from it.

    technicolour

    I know the people who support the holocoast are against Muslims. And you can see them marching hand in hand waving Israeli flags while giving Nazi salutes all over the UK now. I have already put up pictures of Zionist/Nazi joint demonstrations enough times.

    Steelback has never expressed support for Hitler or Nazi Germany.

    I have never seen him do that, so I don’t think he is one of them.

    Larry and Michael on the other hand are.

    I have seen the Israeli flag waving Nazis express their support for Hitler.

    And Tech, I have put up enough links of real Jews for you to know they are real and not propoganda.

    I can’t be bothered to repast, just find the videos, pictures or their websites I have already pasted.

    “Holocaust denial and racism are red lines.”

    Very commendable Craig, yet you allow Zionist trolls to deny the slow genocide being perpetrated against the Palestinians, and you allow racism against Arabs & prejudice against Muslims, to be continuously spouted by the aforementioned trolls.

    Holocaust denial, like all revisionist re-writes of history, is ugly, but so is censorship; we all know that the Holocaust Deniers have no credible case to make, but censoring them allows them to claim that not only they do have a case, but a case so powerful that it has to be censored. Far better to let them be judged by their agenda driven fantasies, so they can then be challenged and exposed with the ridicule they deserve.

    Having a blanket ban on the Holocaust, because of fears that your Site will be tainted by association, is a lazy and hypocritical cope-out, which plays into the hands of Zionists Apologists, who play upon Western guilt, and play upon the self-acclaim exclusiveness of everything Jewish. Instead, you (& others) should treat Holocaust Deniers with all the derision that you can muster in serious or witty put-downs. Clark, or anybody else, has a perfect prerogative to be offended, but not a right to deny others the opportunity to judge somebody by what they chose to reveal about themselves, and not the right in so doing, to prevent somebody from answering.

    If you can honestly claim that you would censor somebody claiming the Armenian Genocide is a hoax, or the genocides committed by Stalin or Pol Pot, or by the Belgians in the Congo, etc, etc, are all hoaxes, then your censoring would at least be consistent, if still intellectually lazy to the point of cowardliness, hiding behind moral indignation, however well justified such indignation is.

    Also I’ve noticed that it seems that debate on your various Posts, always seem to get derailed & side-tracked by people allowing themselves to be provoked by some of the regular & very nasty Islamophobic racists that your Site attracts; if people chose to grace such racists with the dignity of a respond, it would be helpful they could try to make an attempt to link, or revert back to the topic of the Post, because I suspect that the deliberate derailment of a Post, is the only reason why certain people post here.

    I agree with your comment that we must let all sides post here if the Zionist think they have a case or argument than let them articulate it so that it can than be taken apart forensically to expose their lies. The Israel supporters end up taking an intellectual pasting here so they either post and run not wishing to enter any discussion or resort to name calling. I do not think that the Israel sympathizers have persuaded any one with their arguments. They are as deluded as the Israeli Government Jester and story teller Regev.

    Hatari & Mac I support the derailment argument which dilutes many succinct and powerful arguments here. I agree reluctantly on Holocaust analysis; a dear Polish friend of my mother lost his father in a Nazi concentration camp from malnutrition.

    Holocaust denial in strict terms is absurd but a deliberate Zionist conspiracy to advance the interest of Zionism at the expense of other peoples is well worth continued investigation and debate.

    Mac,

    I agree with your second point, but point out that it conflicts with your first point. If someone posts denying the Jewish holocaust, we can argue, thus derailing the thread, or we can let it pass, and be accused of antisemitism. I’d really rather Apostate amended his ways.

    Denial of other holocausts has not proven to be a thread-derailing issue, and in any case wouldn’t be seized upon by apologists for Israeli atrocities.

  138. Mac

    14 Jun, 2010 - 1:41 am

    @ Clark, Not really a conflict between my two points as the first point is relating to the specific topic of the general Holocaust Denial censoring & its associated issues, whereas the second was specifically relating to blatant de-railing attempts, which normally are not Holocaust related. However if somebody does attempt to sabotage a thread by using Holocaust denial as a tactic, then it’s paradoxically important enough to be treated no differently than somebody claiming the World is being controlled by alien lizards, ie either a temporary derailment is warranted, but just enough to expose the lunacy involved, and then the crank can be dismissed/ridiculed/ignored thereafter.

    Also bear in mind that sometimes, some of the Holocaust Deniers are not the real thing, but Zionist Apologists engaged in the similar sort of mischief, as when they post under fake Muslim names, so they should be fairly easy to expose.

    I respectfully take issue with your second point, as I have witnessed many, many threads being derailed by those introducing genocide/atrocities denials, particularly in relation to the Armenians, to Iraq, the Balkans, even Cambodia. Further, Holocaust Denial that is repeatedly & effectively refuted is unlikely to be seized upon by Zionist Apologists.

    In a somewhat ironical manner these same Zionist Apologists are sometimes forced to aid in countering other genocide denials, as when they claim that what Israel is acting no different then the US/UK in Iraq, or when they now seek to hit back at Turkey over the Armenian Genocide, seemingly oblivious to the facts that Israel was the biggest cheerleader & supporter of the attack on Iraq, and that Israel has always refused to officially acknowledge the Armenian Genocide.

    Neil: Would it not be a heck more convenient, had we been allowed to see _all_ the footage that day? I’m sure that, collectively, it would have shown the Israeli thugs to have been entirely benevolent, demonstrating the most tender-hearted restraint, and murdering people only as a most regrettable, and last moment, unavoidable response.

    What a shame that the Israeli authorities were forced to “confiscate” all incriminating evidence which would have shown the relief ships to be manned by filthy jihadists. How unfortunate that the IDF forgot to film their own heroic exploits, which would have settled the entire thing. Why don’t they just release the film and computers etc. of the hostages/ sorry, illegals who were subsequently “deported”?

    How terribly unfortunate that, despite all the “liberal media” going nowhere near the story and dropping it entirely down the memory hole now, we have not heard loudly enough about how benevolent and reasonable the IDF actually were. How they were _forced_ to kill unarmed people, and how tormented they are at having been put in that position. Just like a wife-beating husband cusses out a woman for “forcing” him to beat her, and making him feel bad as a consequence.

    How terrible that the Real News from the MSM has not told us how the heroic IDF actually prevented a dirty bomb/ nuke/ biological weapon etc. / from harming those poor, innocent, beset “settlers” trying to scratch out a living in their Biblical-times traditional way. (Helicopter gunships, F-16s, white phosphorous, cluster-bombs and US billions of $$’s aside, this is Sunday-School olde Israel, folks! We’ve got to support them!)

    Such a shame that Israel acts with such restraint, that it has to restrain the truth – including all video evidence of course – when it comes to its own actions such as this. How the truth would set them free of any unjust criticism!

    Cui bono? as the kind of people who spam other people’s blogs with their conspiratorial obsessions like to ask

    He has also written papers under the auspices of the Conservative Friends of Israel. He left the UUP and joined the Cons in 2007. Also a member of the Henry Jackson Society. Enough said.

    Little on Watkin, the other one. He was a Judge Advocate and there is some suggestion on Wiki that he had knowledge of torture being carried out on Afghan detainees. That has a familiar ring in the last NuLabour outfit doesn’t it?

    I realise that you will probably not stoop to addressing me, or answering any of the earlier questions which I put to you on various threads, since you have not deigned to respond to anything I have put to you, but I found it interesting and thought it worthy of being pointed out for itself and for the benefit of others.

    It’s a classic disinformation technique to simply turn up the volume of noise, so as to drown out reasonable discussion. It matters not which position someone is appearing to take either, as long as it’s factuous and creates distracting noise. Eventually we descend into accusations about who is paid to create the noise, paranoia sets in and any valuable discussion is lost in a flame war. That’s why the internet will never replace bodies in rooms. Although, of course, these techniques date back to before t’net.

    Our problem and the problem for Jews is the power and manipulative practices of their elites.

    Unfortunately the charge of ‘racism’ and ‘anti-Semite’ is one of the most powerful weapons in the arsenal of both Jewish and gentile elites , who share the same agenda.

    It is deeply ironic that the charge of ‘racism’ liberally applied (unfortunately) in a blanket and presumptive fashion by Craig (who appears to be a just and fair-minded man in every way, to the point of self-sacrifice) prohibits investigation of contentious issues (like ‘The Holocaust’) that act as the moral engine for easily the most racist state on earth.

    The guilt-complex installed in gentiles by this narrative gives more-or-less a free pass to Israeli savagery, as recent history demonstrates.

    “Holocaust denial” a Red Line?

    We’re not talking about dividing up some bloody Saudi oilfield you know!

    We’re talking about elevating a contentious Zionist version of history to the level of a state religion.

    The man who stood on a soap-box a fortnight ago and declared Zionism was bullshit is happy to enforce Holocaust fundamentalism as the state religion.

    There’s no better illustration of the abject impotence of the PC establishment left than their willingness to be cowed by Zionist propaganda into endorsing its most powerful psychological weapon.

    If the case for the “Holocaust” taking the lives of 6m Jews during WW2 is sustainable it has to be subjected to the same scrutiny as any other event or genocide in history.

    Why is the “Jewish Holocaust” guaranteed sacrosanct status when the genocides in Turkey and Ukraine,and the Soviet gulag in which cadres of high ranking Jewish officials played the leading role are officially off the radar?

    Perhaps Mr Murray needs reminding that up to 60m non-Jews died as a result of WW2.That war like WW1 was regarded as a price worth paying by the Zionist bankers who helped orchestrate it in order that Israel be created.

    Oh,I forgot you want us to stick to another red line that enforces denial of the fact that the likes of Warburg and Schiff played decisive roles in wars and revolutions.

    That’s right we’ve got to stick to the cock-up theory of history!

    The Zionists need to fight their corner not cower behind the PC left who do their bidding.

    Let’s hear them make the Holocaust case shall we?

    They can’t. The whole edifice is a flimsy deck of cards that comes tumbling down as soon as it’s exposed to the same public scrutiny as other historical events.

    By the way before we lock up Bishop Williamson shouldn’t we prosecute Churchill,Ike and De Gaulle posthumously for forgetting to mention the Holocaust in their memoirs?

    Even my local paper which ran a Holocaust fundamentalist article allowed readers who disagreed with it the right of reply.

    “What the flying fuck are you talking about?

    I’ve probably said some nasty things about suicidal martyr-seeking Muslim idiots, but only because they are just that.

    Stop whining and get real, Mac.”

    @Larry, Appropriately for an attention seeking egoist, you assume that I was specifically referring to you, but since you crave the spotlight, then yes you do indeed say such things as “suicide-loving culturally insane Muslim compatriots”, and then try to claim that you are not referring to all Muslims, but just the “terrorists”. As convincing and as damning as the stereotype Racist who says, “I’m not a racist, but… .”

    Anyhow your derailing is not just confined to racism, but to your incessant attempts to sabotage any debate with your favourite twin baiting smears of accusing people of either being anti-Semitic, and/or a Conspiracy Nut. That this is normally the sum total of your “contributions” to most debates, and that you rarely address any of the points being made directly to you, also speaks volumes.

    For example on the “Mavi Marmara: Footage Hidden From the Israelis” thread, as a defender of the Israeli version of the Flotilla attack, and a denouncer of those who cited glaring contradicts, I specifically sought your opinion on two issues that I provided inks to; the first was to the (Times) reported testimony of the “Hero” Commando who murdered six civilians, whose account directly contradicted the official Israeli version, as in;

    “He told The Times that he pulled out his 9mm Glock pistol.

    Yesterday, however, we were informed by a navy officer that navy commandos don’t carry 9mm guns, and that the empty 9mm casings were proof that the humanitarian activists had brought guns with them. Oops, someone forgot to tell Sergeant S. Then, of course, Michael Oren parroted a recital of this “evidence” on the op-ed pages of the New York Times, unchallenged by any differing opinions or contradictory testimony, as usual.”

    http://www.hybridstates.com/2010/06/testimony-of-rogue-commando-who-killed-six-civilian-activists-further-undermines-official-idf-story/

    I also linked to an article hosted by the NYT, reporting the testimony of the Turkish doctor who treated and took care of the three captured Israeli Commandos, complete with photos, in total contrast to the mad murdering jihadists picture that you & Israel tried to paint the activists as, and that also belies the “lynching” justification that Israel tried to use.

    http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/09/turkish-doctor-describes-treating-israeli-commandos-during-raid/

    Of course you chose not to respond to these points, but chose to pursue a derailing conversation about where you may be based, and whetever you are behind various Right Wing Sites or not; not exactly the rational behaviour of somebody who genuinely is interested in discussing the issues of Craig’s Post, but more in line with the behaviour of somebody whose sole motivation is thread derailment.

    This may be difficult for some people to understanding, but shooting people in the back of the head on boats is a questionable practice, regardless of what did or didn’t happen seventy odd years ago

    It doesn’t matter if it were sixty or six million killed in the Jewish holocaust. If it were done with gas or with bullets. Whatever the specifics, none of it justifies murder and genocidal state policies in the here and now

    Holocaust Revisionists essentially support the Zionist cause by implying that a 70 year old genocide *DOES* justify contemporary genocide, provided that the 70 year old genocide has been reliably documented.

    Absolute nonsense. That really is lunatic conspiracy theory, and very reminiscent indeed of Nazi anti-semitic propaganda of the 30s.

    Of course bankers make money out of wars. They still do, as do arms manufacturers, the militray and the burgeoning “security” industry. Of course some of those people sometimes press for war.

    But to believe that World Wars 1 and 2 were fomented by a cabal of zionists, you really have to be warped by racial hatred. Which I am convinced you are.

    He says that the sea blocakde will not be given up and there will be no autonomous habour established,according to his sanitised version.

    A throughout stumbling delivery the war criminals solution to more trouble and strife.

    Can Mr. Blair not see that there is no credence left for a nation that has thouroughly flouted international law, murdered people and challenged NATO’s doctrine?

    And thats just in the last two weeks, dare I speak of the last six decades of waisted UN time and resolutions, or Israels inability to live in peace with its neighbours.

    My apologies for not indulging or taking part in this slanging match some folks seem to have with themselves on here, just to wind us all up, multiple personality disorders is such a rott.

    There are two types of people who I disagree with here.

    There are people like steelback and co, who I will debate with to try and convince.

    I will try and tell him he is wrong to get him to believe what I believe is right. but it will all be good natured.

    There are somethings everyone here says that I disagree with, and we can debate, to change each other’s views or agree to disagree.

    And the are the Larrys and Micheal, the Zionists and haters. I wont try and convince them, because I believe they don’t need convincing. They believe in death and destruction. they are evil people who call for evil. They know what Israel does is evil, so we don’t need to convince them of that. They already know it. They support Israel because Israel is evil.

    With them, I just condemn them. Or mock them.

    Or state to everyone else that they are Nazis.

    And Larry don’t pretend, that you only Bombers. Michael has made it clear that he wants ever Muslim man dead, and when he says fighters, he means each and every Muslim man.

    He has said it many times.

    And Larry the Turks who were shot to death weren’t sucide bombers. Yet you fight them and support there deaths. So don’t pretend you are something you are not. You are a hater, a Nazi, a Racist and a Murderer.

    That is your be all and end all.

    There is nothing good about you, and everything bad about you.

    What do you do, other then try to spread hate while defending murder?

    Don’t you have any concern about your after lives, or have you moved so far in to evil that you have given up on that?

    What Good have you ever done?

    You might disagree with Craig and me, but you know we are people trying to work for Good.

    Craig lost his Job because he defended people being boiled alive. whether you think people being boiled alive is a good thing or a bad thing. You must admit what he tried to do was a good thing?

    Een though Michael, you believe every Muslim man should be killed. Don’t you believe me sending medical supplies on the flatila was a good thing?

    What good have you two ever done?

    I know you two are Zionist trols, and you are probably getting paid per post, but don’t you have a conscience?

    Don’t you feel bad about what you say?

    Don’t you have a naging voice at the back of your head tell you to leave evil and walk towards good?

    Don’t you feel bad about what you do, say and write?

    Don’t you look at your life and think to yourself, what have I ever done, other than try to upset people? Call for death?

    When I go to bed at night, I know I have made the world a better place during the day.

    Or at least tried to do so.

    So when you go to bed, what do you think about yourself. Is the world better because you are alive, or would it be better if you were dead?

    Other than posting horrible things on the internet, what do you do?

    People here already know what I do. I work with chairities to help people. I help disabled and dying children and their parents.

    That is who I am.

    I look after my children so my wife can go to hospitals to save the lives of Mothers and babies.

    I’m an engineer, a teacher and a scientist, I use each role to try and improve the world for others.

    What are you? what do you do?

    Today I don’t regard myself as a very good Engineer and Scientist, my supervisor just riped me a new one because my research was so rubbish.

    But at least I tried.

    So what do you try and do, other then get people to hate each other?

    So what do you do?

    What is good about you?

    http://www.jpost.com/Israel/Article.aspx?id=177445

    this article also mentions that the Israeli commandos fired warning (sic.) shots before rappelling down onto the deck of the boat

    I mention this because Larry mentioned that the loons who comment on this bog were still clinging onto the ‘delusion’ that the Israelis fired their weapons before boarding the boats

    the jp article also explains that people not moving when explosions go off is a sure sign that they are well trained terrorists and therefore deserving of being shot (in the back of the head)

    presumably, if those activists had moved that would have made them poorly trained terrorists and equally deserving of summary execution

    Rona Kuperboim slams Foreign Ministry’s plan to hire pro-Israel talkbackers

    Rona Kuperboim

    Published: 07.10.09, 13:11 / Israel Opinion

    The Foreign Ministry unveiled a new plan this week: Paying talkbackers to post pro-Israel responses on websites worldwide. A total of NIS 600,000 (roughly $150,000) will be earmarked to the establishment of an “Internet warfare” squad.

    The Foreign Ministry intends to hire young people who speak at least one language and who study communication, political science, or law ?” or alternately, Israelis with military experience gained at units dealing with information analysis.

    Beyond the fact that these job requirements reveal a basic lack of understanding in respect to the dynamics of the online discourse ?” the project’s manager argued that “adults don’t know how to blog” ?” they are not too relevant either. An effective talkbacker does not need a law degree or military experience. He merely needs to care about the subject he writes about.

    The sad truth is that had Israeli citizens believed that their State is doing the right thing, they would have made sure to explain it out of their own accord. Without being paid.

    Foreign Ministry officials are fighting what they see as a terrible and scary monster: the Palestinian public relations monster. Yet nothing can be done to defeat it, regardless of how many foolish inventions will be introduced and how many bright communication students will be hired.

    The reason is that good PR cannot make the reality in the occupied territories prettier. Children are being killed, homes are being bombed, and families are starved. Yet nonetheless, the Foreign Ministry wants to try to change the situation. And they have willing partners. “Where do I submit a CV?” wrote one respondent. “I’m fluent in several languages and I’m able to spew forth bullshit for hours on end.”

    Anti-democratic initiative

    Any attempt to plant talkbacks online must fail. Especially if the State is behind it. Not only because it’s easy to identify responses made on behalf of someone, but also because it’s anti-democratic. When the Israel Electric Company or other companies do it, it’s annoying. Yet when the State does it, it’s dangerous.

    Imposters on behalf of the government are threatening free discourse even if they only wander through the virtual space. The Internet was meant to serve as an open platform for dialogue between people, rather than as a propaganda means.

    Something worrisome is happening here lately. We see the accumulation of silencing attempts. The Nakba Law, the bill calling for a ban on protests outside the homes of politicians, Lieberman’s Loyalty Law, and the biometric information database. The free speech hunting season is on.

    Thankfully we have the Internet, and it enables us to identify processes, discuss them, warn about them, and join forces against them. We can assume that soon we’ll see the establishment of a website opposed to this new initiative, unless such site already exists. Perhaps even a group on Facebook. I wonder whether all its members will be Foreign Ministry agents, or whether it will also include some real people.

    This is not a police state: This is a thought-police state.

    Mr Murray

    You are utterly out of your depth now.

    How the hell can you deny-or for the benefit of your Zionist audience pretend not to know-that a cabal of Zionist bankers led by the Warburgs hijacked the Federal Reserve in 1913?

    Knowing none of this history whatever perhaps you missed the fact that the Great War started the following year in 1914 and J.P.Morgan, agents for the Rothschilds, bank-rolled the British war effort.

    Despite having promised the American people that the US would remain neutral President Wilson, who was controlled by the same cabal of Zionist bankers and their agents, intervened on the British side in 1917.

    The year before with the British war effort disintegrating and Germany winning the war Balfour was persuaded to make the British commitment to the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine.

    In return Zionist financiers promised to use their considerable influence with the US government to bring the US into the war on the British side.

    With a big German push anticipated early the following year the French High Command were mortified to discover in 1916 that British were diverting 250,000 troops to the Middle East! Their mission was to wrest Palestine from the Turks and fulfill the promise made to the Zionists.

    At Versailles the Zionist banking cabal who controlled Wilson,Lloyd George and most of the other leading players orchestrated the terms of a settlement that guaranteed that WW2 would follow.

    As to the Second World War I can only guess which Boys Own version of this event is the one you would like to draw a red line around! However if you bothered to do the research you would find that the same cabal of Zionist bankers were intent on instigating a second conflagration. And they had made sure that certain political figures were in place to bring this about.

    I really can’t believe you’re being so adolescent and wet about documented historical facts.

    The idea I’m a racist because I believe Zionist bankers planned two world wars is risible.

    Since when have Zionist bankers constituted racial group?

    I think you’re playing to the gallery,Mr Murray and that you’ve exposed yourself as a charlatan in the process.

    You might win some applause from the Zionist shills who are pulling your strings and who you have allowed to hijack this comment board.

    You might even convince your Israeli lobby friends among the political class that you’re safe to employ in a new role (LOL-get real) but a lot of people will have seen you for what you are.

    Someone who pretends he’s a liberal but employs blanket censorship against anyone who challenges Zionist propaganda.

    Someone who pretends he’s offering alternative news commentary when in fact he’s gate-keeping for the Zionist version of history and is merely an extension of the corporate media.

    Next time you get on a soap-box and scream about Zionism being bullshit-we will know you don’t mean it but your lobby friends may not.

    Have you got History “O” level?

    Are you not aware that the Rothschilds have a history of financing BOTH sides of wars? They did it during the American Revolution,the Napoleonic wars,and have been doing it ever since.

    Are we supposed to believe the Rothschilds are not Zionist bankers?

    Get real!

    Have you not worked out that Zionist bankers control the Fed, Bank of England, IMF, World Bank, UN, WHO , and BIS?

    Last I heard only N.Korea,Iran,Sudan,Cuba and Libya were the only countries left in the world without Rothschild-controlled central banks.

    Is that cock-up theory too?

    Do you seriously believe that if Palestinians ran the Fed rather than the Zionists they’d be rotting in Gaza,the West Bank and refugee camps across the Middle East today?

    If you do-you’re no use to the anti-Zionist Palestinian cause whatever.

    We can do without such an abject failure to analyse and research facts that are NOT conspiracy theory as you would have your readers believe but verifiable facts in the public domain.

    I can’t believe the crass willed blindness to historical facts shown by Craig Murray.

    Senator Norman Dodd during the Reese-Dodd committee hearings into tax-exempt foundations found that Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Trustees had debated at length by what means US society could be transformed in the direction desired by the financial elites.

    The minutes showed that they had finally resolved that only by involving America in a series of major wars could the changes they desired be wrought.

    The Carnegie Endowment began taking steps to control the State Department.They set up the Council of Learned Societies which begat the CFR and has controlled appointments to the State Department ever since.

    The history Craig Murray pretends is “conspiracy theory” is actually inconveniently for him,his Zionist trolling pals,and people he’s desperate to impress among the Zionist lobby political class ON THE RECORD and IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

    The internet the Zionists want to shut down means-notwithstanding the gate-keeping and censorship of Craig Murray- they can’t hide their complicity in all the most disastrous human tragedies of the last two centuries.

    P.S. Don’t call me racist either or I’ll call you a charlatan!

    “To believe two world wars were fomented by a cabal of Zionist bankers you really have to warped by racial hatred”

    I really couldn’t believe I read this from someone who purports to know something re-world history and foreign affairs.

    What an utterly fatuous accusation to make?

    Zionist bankers are not a race. How the Hell can someone who fingers the elite financial interests behind wars and revolutions be deemed a racist?

    Surely a grown man must know this. The

    Frankfurt/Freudian school bullshit propaganda you’ve swallowed whole is now spewing forth uncontrollably.

    Trotsky and Lenin were tools of the Zionist bankers. Trotsky married into “the family”. The Zionist bankers financed the Bolsheviks,Hitler and the war-mongers who were hot for both World Wars.

    Who the Bejeez do you imagine Karl Marx was? Father bloody Christmas?

    What the Hell do you think the internet is for?

    Some sort of social networking/dating site?

    How can anybody be so pathetically naive and ill-informed?

    The information is out there now. It’s too late for you to try and pretend you can turn back the tide by censoring out the facts.

    To be quite honest,Craig Murray,I find your assumption that anyone who refuses to subscribe to Holocaust fundamentalism or points to the prime role played by Zionist bankers in wars and revolutions is a racist patently absurd.

    Much of the literature pertaining to both the said historical phenomena has been written by Jewish researchers who like all truly independent writers seek to disentangle truth from propaganda.

    To assume that ideas which you are so brain-washed you can’t get your head around come from the basest of motives puts you in the same intellectual league as Larry and the shills on this site who prey on your vulnerability to recycle their propaganda.

    If you think you’re maintaining your credibility with our thoroughly discredited political class and that they might make future use of you-I think your vanity and self-deception may be your undoing.

    A lot of the abject nonsense that’s spouted on this comment board on these topics is the result of people adhering to mainstream accounts they absorbed from prescribed reading lists they were given at university.

    Don’t expect Niall Ferguson or Simon Schama to tell you anything the establishment don’t want you know about either.

    Ferguson ended hisbook on the Rothschild dynasty in 1914 leaving us with implied idea that the fasmily coulkdn’t now compete with bigger corporate players.

    Actually they’re very much still in the game and with court historians like Ferguson can keep their power well concealed.

    The link he makes between Holocaust revisionism and racism is a standard elite-driven attempt to marginalize people who challenge official narratives like “climate change” as well.

    In the US global-warming sceptics are characterized in this way.

    Being as I’m not just a climate change sceptic I’m a 100% DENIER that makes me elegible to join the Klu Klux Clan doesn’t it?

    It is becoming increasingly clear to onlookers that the Decommissioners are not rebels without a cause- in fact their cause was very lucid and honorable.

    As they became witnesses to Operation Cast Lead they took an action that all of us should have felt compelled to do if we could as our duty being part of the human race.

    Political reaction to Israel’s military assault on the Gaza strip underlined total failure of democratic processes to protect those in need, to protect the weak, to save children, to save women, to save men- none of which had ever committed an act that justified their brutal annihilation.

    Israel seek to extinct, whilst the West seeks to fill it bottomless financial pit with more arms trade profit created by the destruction of innocent lives and the continued suffering of those that live through operations such as Cast Lead.

    How can not every single person that comes across realities of war crimes not want to stand up and Decommission whatever link in the chain of terror they can?

    That is not criminal damage, it is a necessity.
