Via Islamica

Grace Halsell ( 1923-2000) served President Lyndon Johnson as his speech writer for three years.
She covered both Korea and Vietnam as a journalist and wrote for newspapers in the US., South America,
 Europe, Russia, China, Japan and Middle east. She wrote 14 books among them thee well received
Soul Sister, Prophecy and Politics, Militant Evangelists on the Road to Nuclear War, Journey to Jerusalem,
 The Illegals and Forcing God's Hand.

In her startling book Forcing God's Hand: Why Millions Pray for Quick Rapture and Destruction of Planet Earth,
Grace Halsell explores the danger of a new religious doctrine sweeping America. Adherents to this doctrine
are said to constitute the fasted growing movement in Christianity.

President Jimmy Carter, Ronald Regan and George Bush alluded to their Born Again experiences. Also
Watergate conspirator Charles Colson, exiled Black Panther Leader Eldrige Cleaver, Hustler Magazine
 publisher  Larry Flynt, former Oregon senator Mark Hatfield, Oliver North, Independent Counsel
Kenneth Starr, and many of the conservative Leaders.  This is a strange marriage of convenience between
US Christian Right and Israel. Neither likes the other – but about politics – Dr. Alfred Lilienthal.

Stuart Littlewood looks at how American journalist Grace Halsell exposed the un-Christian wart among Christians, the “Christian Zionist movement”, which believes that it is “perfectly acceptable to give the green light to whatever it is Israel wants and then conceal this from the American people”, and that “anything, including lies, theft, even murder, is justified as long as Israel wants it”.

Zionist Israel never, ever wanted peace in the region. Peace is an anathema to Zionism. Peace means
no more flee zing of the West. Zionists do not want a Two-State or One State solution. In short it does
not want any sort of solutions. With or without Palestinian bid at the UN Zionists will continue to grab
more and more land, expel more and more Palestinians, KILL MORE AND MORE MEN WOMEN AND
CHILDREN. SHAME ON THE COUNTRIES THAT SUPPORT THESE INSIDIOUS, DASTARDLY VICIOUS ACTS.
“America has Israel’s back,” Hilary  said, “and this month we proved it again.” YES! YES!! You will prove it again and again.
When your economy already reeling, comes to a grounding halt, when  the Tidal Waves come in the form of Oil and Gas Embargo,
when the emerging Arab Spring Nations unite, when the gates  Geneva are open displaying the Zionists Crime Against Humanity,
and Genocide, that will be the time American Regimes will open their eyes.

On Wednesday 23 May, over 140 people gathered in a small room in Holborn, tuning into the case of Syed Talha Ahsan.

Talha is a British citizen from South London who graduated in Arabic from the School of Oriental with first class honours. Talha Ahsan who suffers from Aspergers syndrome is to be extradited to the US, along with Babar Ahmad in the coming months following a ruling by the ECHR on 10 April 2012. Babar Ahmad’s case is familiar to many as it gained incredible momentum in the lead to the ECHR ruling, as a petition to grant him a fair trial circulated nationwide and surpassed the 100,000 mark yet despite this excellent result, his situation worsened. The public meeting held on Wednesday was a reminder to us all that the battle to overturn this nonsensical extradition law is not over and if these men are in fact extradited to the US, in the words of Michael Ratner, President of the Center for Constitutional Rights, their extradition ‘is an extradition to purgatory’.

"One of the saddest lessons of history is this:
If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend
to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.
We're no longer interested in finding out the truth.
The bamboozle has captured us. It?s simply too painful
to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we?ve been taken.
Once you give a charlatan power over you,
you almost never get it back."

Next month, the Palestinian non-violent resistance movement will take center stage at an art gallery in New Mexico. Mati Milstein, an Israeli photojournalist, has spent the last year documenting the activities of a group of women activists fighting the occupation. He discusses “Nesa’iyéh (a woman thing),” his exhibition of their struggle, as depicted through his lens.

How did you get involved in the project?

I was in downtown Ramallah on March 15, 2011, photographing Palestinian demonstrations calling for unity between disparate political factions. I noticed that many of the protest leaders were, in fact, women. Though I did take note of this unusual fact, it initially remained filed somewhere in the back of my head. As the following weeks passed and I continued to photograph Palestinian protests in the West Bank, I realized I was seeing the same women – week after week – that I had seen at that protest in Ramallah.

Philip Giraldi, the executive director of the Council for the National Interest and an astute critic of America’s Israelocentric policy in the Middle East, recently made the case that United States support for Israel, and the concomitant Israeli power which depends on that support, has reached its tipping point and is now on an ineluctable downward slide. A “tipping point,” a term given wide publicity in the decade past by Malcolm Gladwell’s best-selling book with that title, is defined by Giraldi as a point “where physical momentum, inclined in one direction, reverses its course, stabilizes, and then begins to move the opposite way.” And the movement usually accelerates after reaching the “tipping point.” In Gladwell’s definition: “The word ‘Tipping Point’ . . . comes from the world of epidemiology. It's the name given to that moment in an epidemic when a virus reaches critical mass. It's the boiling point. It's the moment on the graph when the line starts to shoot straight upwards. AIDS tipped in 1982, when it went from a rare disease affecting a few gay men to a worldwide epidemic.” http://www.gladwell.com/tippingpoint/

There are basically 2 types of crooks in the world—dumb ones and smart ones…

The smart one (in this case the ‘generic’ crook–the thief) is a product of predator-evolution. He knows by the terms of his very existence that he lives in a state of war with organized society, and if he’s not smart eventually some form of City Hall is going to come down on him like a ton of bricks and squash him for being the cockroach that he is.

He has the best teacher available on this matter–history. Expulsion after expulsion…’Persecution’ in the form of prison, pogroms and Pales of Settlement… Ghettos and shtetls…Legislation outlawing his involvement in certain types of business activities, and then–when all these prove ineffective in taming the wild beast within and stymieing his criminal inclinations–violence against him on the part of aggrieved neighbors who’ve had enough of both his behavior and a government too impotent and/or corrupt to deal with it properly.
