For the Republic - “US/UK/Israel constitute a true axis of evil" ALERT

CORRECTION? Last month this column stated; “US/UK/Israel constitute a true axis of evil. They all employ torture, all are now genocidists, perpetrators of the Supreme Crime. All are robbers of the resources of other nations, all three routinely employ deception, all have assassination teams and perpetrate atrocities to be blamed upon others. All three clothe their crimes in the vocabulary of democracy while claiming to represent the moral high ground.” The correction, if one is in order, derives from the following. Are Bush & Co’s crimes US crimes? Are all Americans culpable for crimes perpetrated by Bush & Co? Seeing that the vast majority of Americans had been deceived into believing that Saddam’s WMD threatened the very existence of the US, is it correct to say that they are accomplices in Bush’s subsequent crimes against Iraq? What about Bush’s crimes in Lebanon and his international Gulag? Are we, the US, collectively responsible? What about those who did everything possible to stop it; even before the invasion? What about Iran?

BRINGING DEMOCRACY to Iraq? If so, we would allow an Iraqi referendum to decide whether they want us there. We will not allow such a democratic event. Why not? Because we already know the answer. The vast majority of Iraqis want us out, and a large majority of them say Iraqis are justified in killing US soldiers. Had Bush & Co a “…decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind…” they would not have ignored the expressed wishes of the Pope and every nation on earth except Israel and US (for so long as the deception held).

BUSH’S BASE has eroded to twenty-some percent of Americans. Everybody else is onto the lies; especially the two crucial ones; 1) The WMD, and 2) that Saddam was involved with Al Qaeda in 9/11. These are crucial because, had they been true, our war on Iraq would be lawful instead of the Supreme Crime it is. This twenty-some percent is not likely to shrink much further because, being “faith-based,” neither evidence, nor justice, nor even our Constitution concerns them. At the core of Bush’s base are the millions of Rapturists, mostly in the southern States. They believe that he will bring about Armageddon upon which, being biblical literalists like the Rev. Ian Paisley, they will receive their heavenly reward. Their reward will consist of being “raptured” up into heaven where they will sit at the right hand of God and look down with satisfaction upon the rest of us burning in “the Lake of Fire.” (That’s a lot of napalm. Have they arranged to have their United Technologies and Northrup dividend checks forwarded to them in heaven?) Because “their bible tells them” that “End Days” cannot occur until Zion (Israel) is restored to its maximum biblical extent “from the Nile to the Euphrates,” they do all in their power to promote that expansion of exclusively Jewish population. Thus, according to them and to their minority of wacko accomplices in Israel, one does God’s Work by exterminating Palestinians, Jordanians, Egyptians, Syrians, Iraqis, etc. whose existences thwart biblical fulfillment. Rapturists visiting Israel screamed insults at Sharon when he temporarily slowed his genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

EVANGELICALS. A headline reads; “Ousted Republican US Senator Criticizes Bush on Israel.” The text reads “Ousted Republican Sen. Lincoln Chafee criticized President George W. Bush’s handling of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, saying that the president was bowing to a faction of evangelical Christians who oppose a Palestinian state. Chafee lost to Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse in the last elections. “The religious thing is driving foreign policy here;” Chafee said following a speech at Brown University on Monday (Feb 12). Chafee cited comments by evangelical Christians who have said that they do not think Israel should give up any land to the Palestinains. (YNET News/AP)

A READER contends that our attacks upon Iraq, Lebanon and, soon, Iran are all Israeli initiatives; that Israel is the only beneficiary of our population-reduction campaigns, and that Iraq’s Shi’a vs Sunni civil war is no random event but that Mossad and US/UK assassination teams have been instigating it; that the bombing of the Golden Mosque was probably part of it. We do know that Britain’s MI5/SAS/FRU perpetrated precisely such “false flag” massacres in Ireland to be blamed on the IRA.

IN IRELAND the people have always been notably sympathetic to Jews. The old “Christ-Killer” slur was never heard in school (where we were taught that He had died for our sins. (This was also true in St. Margaret of Scotland school on Chicago’s south side.) Though Jews constitute fewer than one percent of Ireland’s population there have been Jewish members of the Dáil. One, (Robert Briscoe) was twice elected Mayor of Dublin (or was his son Ben the second Briscoe mayor?). That empathy has always been strongest among the Occupied Irish who, as targets of Brit genocidists, can better sense the enormity of the Shoah. But Belfast today reflects the new reality. Palestinian flags fly throughout the oppressed Irish enclaves, while Israel’s flag flies in Brit (Orange) areas. The issue was fully revealed by a letter from the head of Combat 18 to the head of an Orange gang. (Combat 18 is a Neo-Nazi gang in England. Its “18” is from the first and eighth letters of the alphabet; Adolph Hitler.). The letter began by claiming that Combat 18 had always supported that Orange gang against “the Niggers.” (In Combat 18’s Neo-Nazi world “Niggers” also applies to Irish and Jews. It then went on to plaintively ask what was Combat 18 to think when their Orange allies have taken to flying the Israeli flag. This flag issue in Occupied Ireland represents something much larger, which is this; those who used to empathize with Jews have switched to supporting Palestinians against Israel, while at least one group of Neo-Nazi allies now supports Israel and its policies.

IT MUSTN’T BE war that we are waging against “international terrorism.” Why not? Because, in wartime, the outing of a U.S.undercover agent is treason, punishable by summary execution. Agent Valerie Plame headed the CIA’s Nuclear Proliferation desk, one of the most secret and crucial jobs in the defense of America. Her husband, Ex-Ambassador Joe Wilson, was the whistle-blower who exposed Bush’s forgery-based claim of “Saddam’s negotiations to buy uranium oxide from Niger;” a claim that bolstered Bush’s earlier war-“justifying” fabrications about the “danger” Saddam posed to America. Evidently, to punish Wilson and to intimidate other truth-tellers, Bush & Co “outed” Valerie. It has now been revealed in Federal court that Cheney, Wolfowitz, Feith, Rove and Libby all participated in that vile act of treason (oops, leaking). But they have not been summarily shot, nor even charged with treason, so we must not be at war.

GREAT NEWS! Last month you read here of the trial of two noble Palestinians here in Chicago and how the US Court agreed to take the case against them after the German gov’t refused to try them because the case was based upon prepared confessions they had signed under Israeli torture. The verdict is rendered. The Chicago jury found them not guilty of any of the terrorism charges. It did, however, find them guilty of the much lesser charge of Obstruction of Justice. Their obstruction is a fact – they had, indeed, refused to cooperate with the Feds who were framing them for Israel. Here’s to two honorary Irish republicans named Mohammed Salah and Professor A. Ashqar! Here’s to their courageous defense attorneys Moffit and Deutch who provided the jury with an education about life in Palestine under Israeli tyranny that I’d never before heard uttered in public. May it help to bring an end to our funding of Israel’s genocide of Palestine. Our funding of it continues to shock the conscience of the world, and is one of the three reasons given by Osama bin Laden for 9/11. For years nearly half of our total foreign aid has gone to Israel. To keep those funds flowing, approximately one percent of it returns as bribes to our congressmen. In this way our taxes are used to our detriment to fund Israeli crimes instead of good works or American interests.

THANK YOU, Atty. Tom Durkin. I’ve never met Mr. Durkin, but was immensely impressed by his op-ed piece (Trib, 2/8/07) on the Salah/Ashqar trial. It was headlined; “Terrorism in Our Courts” and described how the Federal judge allowed Israeli agents to create opinion-molding theater in her courtroom. He quotes then

USAG Ashcroft saying; “…the two men ‘played a substantial role in financing and supporting international terrorism… (and) took advantage of the freedoms of an open society to foster and finance acts of terror’.” With these powerful words “our” USAG worked in tandem with Israeli torturers and against justice in a US court. Ultimately, the jurors proved intelligent and patriotic enough to ignore Ashcroft, the judge, and the Israeli spooks. While observing that trial for a few days it became clear to me that as important as the outcome was for the two defendants, it was crucial for our nation. A gov’t victory would have established secrecy as the norm in our courts, also the use of tortured confessions. It was clear that the life of our republic itself was at stake. A gov’t victory would also have given a green light to a third frame-up of me by MI5/FBI. And they wouldn’t have to fabricate their evidence against us as they did before.

Under the new standard created by a gov’t victory against Salah/Ashqar I would be convicted for the truths I’ve written here. Mr. Durkin’s admirable piece ends with; “What should also not be lost on anyone is the extraordinary effort of the Muslim-American communities in Chicago and Virginia that rallied around the Salah family and his co-defendant, Abdelhaleem Ashqar. To fight the government in the face of potential life sentences is no small effort unto itself. It’s even more daunting to raise the money it takes to bring in lawyers who are talented enough to attempt to level the playing field the government gets in its federal courts. If it takes a village to raise a child these days, it truly takes a community to stand up to the government. We should all take note as a community and pay attention before it is too late.”

BRIT TERRORISM in Occupied Ireland has, until now, been totally covered up by the US, UK and Irish gov’ts abetted by the news media in all three nations. So far as I know my web site, www.terrorismireland.org, remains the sole compilation of overall facts as to the identity of the murdered and that of the groups who murdered them. But the official curtain is now partly opened on what close observers have always known. Some news media recently exposed one Orange murder gang run by the Brit police Special Branch. The gang, a UVF branch, is now acknowledged by the police to “probably” have murdered (in chronological order) Peter McTasney, Sharon McKenna, Seán McPartland, Eamon Fox, Gary Convie, Thomas Sheppard, John Harbinson, Raymond McCord jr and Tommy English. As their names suggest, the last four were Protestants. During the past decade Orange murder gangs began turning their guns on each other. This gang, from the Mt.Vernon/Newtownabbey area, is just the tip of the iceberg. Frequently, Catholics phoning the police to report a murder in their homes would have to wait a while. They wouldn’t be told the reason for the delay, which was that the “investigating” police officers hadn’t yet finished chauffeuring the murderers to and from their assignment. The name of this utterly corrupt Brit police force, the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) was changed to the PSNI. All of its murderers remain in uniform, untouchable. That is only one example of the evil in Adams & Co’s call to republicans to join that same police force. All of the deadliest of the atrocities were perpetrated by Brit forces but officially blamed on Irish republicans. It typically took a few weeks before the identity of the murder group became generally known (upon which the gov’t’s announced “pursuit of justice” immediately evaporated). The one exception is the MI5/FBI/RUC bombing of Omagh. Because it was an IRA device the UK/US agents who murdered with it have not yet even been charged, and the news media’s truth-telling about it hasn’t been repeated enough to overcome the Big Lie.

MORE GOOD NEWS! During the past decade you have read here of the Ex-Limerick man living in London who was robbed of his home by the Inland Revenue (IR), Britain’s IRS; how their fraudulent claim of some £hundreds became a lien against his £400,000 house from which they evicted him, sold it and kept all of the proceeds. When the courts, law enforcement and his political representatives all refused to enforce the law for him, in extremis he sought help from the Irish embassy and Irish newspapers in England. I personally witnessed and was shocked to see his urgent requests met with crude insults by his MP, by Irish Ambassador Barrington and The Irish Post and (to a lesser degree) The Irish World. There is a hero in all this; an Englishman, Philip Inman, Finance Reporter for The Guardian. Inman, essentially alone, has championed justice for Cullinane in his columns. Cullinane also credits the Irish American News. It appears that his long nightmare is coming to an end.

EASTER LILIES, the little paper ones from Ireland’s National Graves Association (NGA) and worn in the lapel, will be distributed this Easter week. Ever since 1926 when the new “Irish” gov’t made it clear that the graves of Ireland’s dead heroes were to be unmarked and forgotten, the NGA, a group of private volunteers, have installed and maintained those graves; first out of their own pockets, and later, helped by an annual Easter Lily campaign. They have done so all these years despite constant harassment by gov’t officials who frequently raid them, rob them of their little treasuries and confiscate the paper lilies. Chicago Irish have always been free to wear them. However, beware of frauds. The Friends of Irish Freedom are the NGA’s sole Chicago distributors of these lilies. Though others sell them in Chicago, none of the proceeds go to the NGA. The main (or perhaps, sole) Chicago distributor of those others is a long-time mole for MI5/FBI. 312 664 7651 or fogarty@ix.netcom.com.

Mainly because I was so surprised by where I found it. I was in a record store thinking I was picking up the Illinois Entertainer but grabbed this by mistake. And, for the most part, it was all about bars, restaurants, and Irish entertainment which is very popular here on da Sout’ Side. And then I came across this crap and was wondering if anyone else saw similar things.

Disgusting. Yet, still, it wouldn't be the first time an entertainment magazine was turned into a biased liberal rag. ‘Rolling Stone’ is an excellent example of this. It used to be about music, but now it should have the subtitle ‘The official magazine of stoned college Democrats.’

What a vile piece of sh**. That entire article made my stomach turn.

He of course has to get his plug in at the end for an organization (FOIF) that passes the hat for the IRA.

Thanks for the post. Even though you found this in the US it pretty much sums up how the Irish in Ireland feel about the US. Dont let the smiling Irish eyes fool you. They hate our guts.

Yes, they really do hate our guts. Remember a few years ago an Irishmen made a citizens arrest and took into “custody” six of our soldiers? A choice between the UK/Israel and Ireland has me choosing the UK/Israel every time.

I went to a wedding in Ireland a few months back. Had I known what a fuss it was going to cause I would not have worn my small American flag lapel pin. Most of those folks are frothingly anti American. I left the Emerald Isle a day early. Screwem.

I have never been there, although we did have a trip planned a couple of years ago. We canceled due to family matters. At the time I felt badly, but now I’m glad we did. I have no plans for going in the future it is not a place I would want to visit.

I have to urge you not to fall into the trap of not going somewhere because of sweeping generalizations of them all hating us. I’ve lived in Ireland (in the North); I’ve traveled there extensively; I’m getting married there in a couple of months. I know the people well.

Let me tell you from personal experience - they don’t all hate us. You can certainly tell that from the number of Irish FReepers there are. The true hard-core Shinners (Sinn Fein) don’t think too highly of us. But hey, they are Marxist a-holes, so what do you care?

In all my travels there (I have been to all 32 counties on the island) and in my 2 years of living there, I never ran into any problems with someone hating me because I was American. In fact it was just the opposite. They all loved to talk to me about America, about their friends/family here, their own travels to America, etc.

You certainly will be missing out on quite an experience if you don’t find out for yourself.
