Where’s the Outrage, Turtle Bay? (at UN, Ahmadinejad gives Goebbels-like Address)
NRO ^ | 9/25/2008 | Eve Epstein

In the absence of outcry, he will have won.

Iranian extremist Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has wangled invitations from various patrons of New York polite society this week, seeking “dialogue” and discussion, during the opening of the United Nations General Assembly. He is, after all, president of Iran.

But we should harbor no illusions about what the man is up to.

Ahmadinejad has revealed his agenda.

He is not just against Israel. He is against the Jewish community in its entirety.

This was made plain by the dastardly speech delivered by the Iranian strong man from the platform of the General Assembly earlier this week. The text came straight from Joseph Goebbels.

The Iranian leader did not observe the polite distinctions of refined antisemites in Europe and elsewhere. He did not say that some of his best friends were Jews, even though the Israeli state should be considered a criminal regime.

Instead, taking advantage of the world financial crisis, he resurrected language from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, and recycled the worst of Hitler’s tropes.

He knows his moment, and, evidently, his audience.

Amadinejad announced that the Wall Street financial crisis was the fault of the Jews. Jews, writ large. True, he spoke of “Zionists.” True, most Jews are, indeed, supporters of the state of Israel. But he attacked the Jewish community around the world for crimes they were said to have committed, with no relation to Israel.

He is rebranding a real and full-throated antisemitism. The nightmare sketched by Philip Roth, in his novel about the possible revival of the real thing, has come out from under the bed.

Listen to the Iranian president in his own voice of malevolence — citing the “deceitful, complex and furtive manner” of people who live as Jews.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s been an anti-American wackjob since his earlier years when he led the Iranian ‘students’ that took the American embassey workers hostage in 1979. He’s no good, he’s nuts.

Worse than that...

Bigtime bambi backer Penny Pritzker picked up the Hyatt tab for a big party for the terrorist.

Bambi has great friends.

Does American Jewry KNOW that this modern-day Haman endorses Obama?

If not, why not?

If so, how can ANY American Jew be so STUPID as to vote for Obama, friend of Mahmoud HAMAN Amadinejad.

Though it’s a stretch, I wouldn’t be terribly surprised to learn that Amadinejad’s ancestry is through Agag-Haman.

Very little of value to America goes on at Turtle Bay.

At the time the newly hatched United Nations was panhandling for a site to construct its modern Tower of Babel, the Rockefeller family (gee, what other organizations has THAT gang spawned?) stepped forward and
DONATED $8.6 million to purchase the property at Turtle Bay on the East River.

It is believed by a number of historians to be the very site where, on September 22, 1776, 21 year-old American patriot Captain Nathan Hale was hanged by the Brits after declaring “I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.”

Do you, like me, suppose that to be an in-your-face flight of sick cabalistic humor to site the organization at the center of the destruction of the American national sovereignty for which Hale fought and gave his life near where he was hanged?

Probably!

“Bigtime bambi backer Penny Pritzker picked up the Hyatt tab for a big party for the terrorist.”

Pritzker is Obama’s Finance Chair. She also pioneered running banks into the ground with sub-prime loans at now defunct Superior bank in Chicago.

There will be investigative news blockbusters on this as soon as the Investigative News Shock Army returns from assignment in Alaska. Reurn is expected around November 5th.

From a Hilleryite site “GDAE
________________________________________
February 21, 2008

Who is Penny Pritzker and Why is She Obama’s Campaign Finance Chair?

Yesterday, February 20, 2008, on Flashpoints Radio (Stream/podcast Link), an investigative report into Penny Pritzker, the Obama campaign finance chairman. She and her family were central to the innovation known as “Mortgage Backed Securities,” which are now at the center of the financial crisis and real estate melt down.

Pritzker is one of the most active of celebrated Chicago patriarch Abraham N. Pritzker’s 12 living grandchildren. A Harvard-trained attorney, Pritzker, 46, was chosen by her late uncle Jay to help oversee the family’s vast portfolio of investments, including the Hyatt hotel chain and the Marmon Group industrial conglomerate. (Forbes Lists 2005)

One reason we don’t hear the Clinton campaign raising this as an issue is because Penny’s brother has apparently been playing a spokes-person role in Hillary’s campaign. Reminds me of Enron buying off both Republicans and Democrats, along with accounting firms, the media, law firms, regulators, ....

Don’t get me wrong. After Edwards dropped out I shifted my support to Obama, in as much as I support dismalcrats. But, if Barak Obama was smart, he’d thank her for her services and quietly let Penny Pritzker go.

As of today, Google search of Penny Pritzker Obama generates 9,700 hits. Expect that number to grow over the coming months. But today, you are led to comments on Nation Magazine article entitled “Subprime Obama” - Letters (article link in Sources below. One comment begins as follows:

One reason Barack Obama might not want to talk about the role of financially irresponsible bank board members in creating the subprime mortgage foreclossure financial disaster is that the national finance chair of Obama’s campaign, Penny Pritzker, is a former board member of the failed Superior Bank S&L that engaged in irresponsible subprime mortgage lending during the 1990s.

Apparently Penny was into subprime lending before it became all the rage starting in around 2000. It continues:

Penny Prtizker’s chairmanship was apparently “to concentrate on subprimelending, principally on home mortgages, but for a while in subprime auto lending, too,” after the Pritzkers’ bank acquired its wholesale mortgage organization division, Alliance Funding, in December 1992.

Back then they called it “predatory lending.”

What else does Google dish up? Penny’s contribution record. There are rumors she gives to republicans, and it’s true. She gave $1,000 to both John McCain and George W. Bush in the 1999 primary. She also gave money to McCain for Senate in 1998. She also gave money to Barack Obama for his failing House bid in 1999. She gave to Bill Frist, Rudi Giuliani’s exploratory fund, and several other Republicans in 2000. $4,000 to Joe Lieberman in 2006 (he’s practically a Republican). Dennis Hastert in 2006, 2003. You get the idea. Our Noble Obama’s campaign finance chair likes to spread money around. Grease the wheels so to speak. She’s a billionaire. Woman of the people (NOT).

They're voting for him because he's pro-abortion and he's a socialist. Yeah, it's crazy, but that's the way it is.

I fear that you are correct.

Murdering babies before or as they are being born and redistribution of the wealth is more important to them than their own survival.

Amazing.

IIRC, Russian Jews supported the Bolsheviks, too, and we know how well that worked out for them.

I don’t get it, either. I went to school with lots of Jewish students, mostly Orthodox and Conservative. One of my good friends went to Israel to yeshiva after high school. I wish I knew what happened to him, but his name (Howard Siegel) is so common that all Google turns up is scientific journals :-).

However, Alouette said on another thread that her 85-year-old mother planned to vote for Obama to keep abortion on demand legal, so this is obviously a key issue for some Jews ... more important than the survival of Israel or the Jewish people. I don’t get it.

To be fair, I don’t get Catholics who support abortion or socialism above the survival of our country and our religious liberty, either. It’s a perversion of Catholicism.

I agree completely.

And that goes for a lot of “evangelicals” as well!

So many of our religious leaders have confused Caesar with God, and have confused the duties of the Christian with the duties of the state. I find it very annoying!
