Dr. Paul Sheldon Foote on the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (Mek/MKO): Mark Dankof’s America on RBN Radio, October 18th

 

 

Cal State-Fullerton professor, Dr. Paul Sheldon Foote, covers the history and ideology of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MeK) for two hours on Mark Dankof’s America on the Republic Broadcasting Network.

Dr. Foote’s sites include http://groups.yahoo.com/group/traitorsusa, http://360.yahoo.com/paulsheldonfoote, http://www.youtube.com/paulsheldonfoote , and http://business.fullerton.edu/accounting/pfoote.

A current Iranian web site which discusses the Muhahedin-e-Khalq is that of the Habilian Association at http://www.habilian.com.

The Last Pinko: Ted Kennedy Leaves the Scene for the Final Time

     Even Eleanor Clift had to acknowledge the hypocrisy of the left on the recent posthumous lionization of The Last Pinko, Ted Kennedy, in her essay in the current edition of Newsweek.  Mr. Kennedy’s combustible mixture of copious amounts of alcohol with a brand of serial womanizing not seen since his brothers departed this veil of tears, was consistently ignored by a Feminazi constituency enamored of his faithful commitment to the ongoing execution of millions of unborn children, and the legitimization of queerdom.  The Feminazi hypocrisy is matched only by that of the Roman Catholic church, which has also given Mr. Kennedy a free pass for all the obvious reasons.

     The late libertarian speechwriter, Karl Hess, once hoisted some German Weissbiers with me in the 1970s at a notoriously heterosexual watering hole in Washington.  At the time, Hess mirthfully quipped that he’d be glad to cruise the Nation’s Capitol with both The Last Pinko and Barney Frank, as long as “Kennedy picked the dates and Barney did the driving.” You get the picture.  Pat Buchanan similarly observed at the 1992 Republican National Convention in Houston, that when it came to Kennedy, you had to go with a guy who at age 60, was “still going to Florida for spring break.”

     But the ultimate legacy of Ted Kennedy must surely be the mesmerizing faith in the deification of Caesar and the Central State that he bequeathed to America, an America that memorialized him this past week, even as it forgot to place Old Glory at half-staff for an Old Republic that died too long ago to remember.  The echoes of the rifle reports for the imaginary funeral for the Old Republic at Arlington National Cemetery, no longer even resonate in one’s late-night dreams.  The Lee-Custis mansion above all 3 Kennedy brothers’ graves is now, thanks to Orwell, Lincoln, and all of the faithful who worship at the altar of Leviathan Government, now referred to as The Arlington House.  America’s gloried Constitutional past is now embodied in the permanent image of a riderless horse with reverse boots in the stirrups, even as the mournful sound of accompanying drumbeats wafts away over the Potomac.

     A look at The Last Pinko’s legislative legacy is best understood and interpreted in terms of the supremacy of the Central State. His aforementioned  commitment to the execution of even 9 month old infants half way through the birth canal of the mother, is matched by an absolute desire to keep violent felons alive at virtually any cost.  His crusade against 2nd amendment rights was designed to insure that firearms and deadly force remain only in the hands of said violent felons, including the ones representing Caesar at both Ruby Ridge and Waco.  Even as he rightly decried the loss of civil liberties at home and the over-expansion of American military presence abroad in Iraq, he voted to re-authorize the Patriot Act, to expand NATO’s membership to include former Eastern bloc countries, and to authorize NATO’s police actions in Kosovo in 1999.  He never met an IMF or foreign aid expenditure he didn’t like.  His love of expanding federal entitlement programs matched his enamorment of booze and broads.

     In the end, Ted Kennedy became the high priest of  the Leviathan Central State entering a Roman Empire-like stage 4 cancer metastasis.  His ultimate epitaph will be three-fold.  First, the trillion dollar federal deficits each year for the next decade, will engulf America and its once vaunted dollar in a sea of foreign borrowing and Federal Reserve funny money.  Second, as documented in a fine piece last week by my good friend, Frosty Wooldridge, entitled, “Teddy Kennedy’s Deadly Legacy for America,” Kennedy’s key role in the 1965 Immigration Reform Act, has sealed America’s ultimate fate in the drive of the once-greatest nation on earth to achieve Third World toilet status and a comprehensive linguistic and cultural Balkanization.

     And finally, Mr. Kennedy assiduously avoided any public pursuit of the real powers behind the assassination of the 35th President of the United States, as documented by Michael Collins Piper in Final Judgment.

     As Martin Luther King would say, “I Have a Dream.” As a matter of fact, I happened to have one last night, prior to finishing this op-ed.  Ted Kennedy was driving a car.  Mary Jo Kopechne was riding in the passenger seat.  Bob Dole, Orrin Hatch, and John McCain were in the back seat, representing the Loyal ‘Opposition’.   As you might imagine, the car veered off the famous Dike’s Bridge at Martha’s Vineyard.

     But there was a happy ending.  Ms. Kopechne emerged from the car and swam to safety.  The Last Pinko, Dole, Hatch, and McCain remained at water’s bottom. 

     Can the Old Republic still swim?

Mark Dankof on Queers in the ELCA: Subversion and Incrementalism Lead to Open Apostasy‏

 

Letter to the Editor
Christian News
New Haven, Missouri
 
Dear Pastor Otten:
 
I have a few brief observations about yesterday’s news story that the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) has legitimized the participation of practicing homosexuals and lesbians in ordained “Lutheran” ministry.
 
Ever since witnessing the gay agenda being promulgated at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary (PLTS) in Berkeley, California by then seminary president Walter Stuhr and the “Lutherans Concerned” constituency of the San Francisco Bay area in school year 1979-80, I knew what the endgame would be over a quarter of a century later.
 
The queer infiltration of the ELCA mirrors that in American society generally.  First, the infiltration begins by stealth concealment of the network of gays and lesbians permeating any targeted organization.  Second, participation in the target organization proceeds on a “don’t ask, don’t tell” basis, as it has in the American military since the Clinton years.  The “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy is followed by the acceptance of the inclusion of “celibate” homosexuals and lesbians.  The endgame is the placing of an official imprimatur on openly queer practices, within the context of “committed” relationships, in conjunction with the utilization of a legal and governmental establishment to threaten the careers and livelihoods of moral traditionalists who do not bend the knee to Baal.  How long will it be before churches and non-profit organizations who cling to Biblical teachings have their 501c3 tax exempt statuses revoked?  The clock is ticking.
 
It is also important to see that the ELCA’s legitimization of queerdom only underscores that church body’s general jettisoning of sound Biblical principles and hermeneutics for Bultmannianism many years ago.  Circumventing Paul’s clear teachings in Romans chapter 1 on queer perversion, and the implications of the acceptance of such perversion for any society in question, is accompanied in the ELCA by other clear deviations from orthodox Christian teaching.  How many ELCA clergy deny the historicity of the virgin birth of Christ, the time-space character of His resurrection from the dead, the clear Biblical teaching that one is saved through faith in Jesus Christ alone, and the inspired character of Holy Scripture?  As for the sacred character of human life, during its Philadelphia national convention earlier in this decade, the ELCA not only publicly proclaimed its adherence to the pro-death ideology of the abortion-on-demand cancer legitimized by Roe v Wade in January of 1973, but proudly told the world in its official convention news release in the City of Brotherly Love that abortion privileges were included in its group health insurance plan for rostered clergy.
 
Let us speak clearly.  The ELCA is an officially apostate church body, in conjunction with the American Episcopal Church and every other ecclesiastical structure in America that has followed Rudolph Bultmann and Paul Tillich down the pathway of moral relativism and the “demythologizing” of God’s Word.
 
And let us speak clearly once again.  When we ask ourselves who it is that has provided more money and political support than any constituency in America for queerdom and death of the unborn, Incog Man and Ted Pike’s National Prayer Network, among others, provide the answer:  the Jewish Lobby.  

Christian Zionists, and Mr. John Hagee, please take note.

Mark Dankof to Jim Tucker of American Free Press: Mark Glenn is Your “Valued” but “Jew-Baiting” Correspondent?

I wish to inform my readers at Mark Dankof’s America,  Al Bawaba, and The Proud Political Junkie’s Gazette, of my on-the-record response to an official communication of American Free Press (AFP) editor, Jim Tucker, characterizing AFP correspondent Mark Glenn as one guilty of “Jew-baiting hysteria.”

Why not call Mr. Tucker on his nickel at 1-888-699-NEWS and tell him what you think as well?

My letter, and the blathering communication of Mr. Tucker that prompted it, appear as follows:

August 15, 2009

Jim Tucker, Editor
American Free Press
Washington, D. C.
 
Dear Mr. Tucker:
 
Your open letter raises more questions than it answers.  On the one hand, you refer to “our valued correspondent, Mark Glenn.” On the other hand, you have accused Mr. Glenn of “Jew-baiting hysteria.”  This is Orwellian doublespeak, par excellence.
 
I have regularly read Mr. Glenn’s AFP columns in recent years, even as their frequency in publication clearly diminished after Christopher Petherick left AFP and you assumed the role of Editor.  Let me say for the record that his columns are insightful, accurate, and articulate, while hitting the nail on the head in regard to the Israeli Lobby, Israel’s actions in Palestine and Gaza, and the Zionist State’s role in utilizing the military of the United States as a surrogate military force in both Iraq and Afghanistan. 
 
The utilization of the phrase “Jew-baiting hysteria” is not “subject to wide misunderstanding.” It clearly conveys the notion that Mr. Glenn is an irresponsible reporter operating from racial bias, bigotry, and malice.  It is a most serious charge, and one that is patently false.
 
Rather than suggest that your characterization of Mark Glenn’s writings for AFP was misunderstood, why not simply admit that your clearly intended description of him and his work for your newspaper was a serious error and one worthy of a public apology?
 
After all, since in your own words, AFP is the only newspaper you know of that “promises–and does–correct every error,” why not begin with setting the record straight on a moral, journalistic, and political error on your part so egregious that it begs confession and expiation before the credibility of AFP–and its subscriber list–end up with a one-way ticket to Sheol?
 
And what does your libelous description of Mr. Glenn imply about two of your other correspondents, Victor Thorn and Michael Collins Piper, and their collaboration with Glenn on a new book on the USS Liberty being promoted by your newspaper?  Are they too, flirting with “Jew-baiting hysteria?”

OPEN LETTER TO TUCKER CRITICS

 Dear  Friends,

      I sincerely regret that there has been an unwanted bru-haha because of a misinterpretation of what I said to our valued correspondent, Mark Glenn.

     First of all, Mark has done a lot for AFP; I will be that first to acknowledge that. And the fact is, we do not wish to lose him. I trust that we will continue to run his articles.

     On August 11, I sent a e-mail to Mark which was subject to wide misunderstanding. In that message, I said:

“I carry a lot of ‘articles dealing with Israel and Zionism’—check any edition. But you are unable to write this stuff without a lot of Jew-baiting hysteria before getting to the lead. This style is offensive to many readers.” 

As is known by every reader, The American Free Press, and before that, The Spotlight, has never been hesitant about criticizing Israel and political Zionism. In fact, we do so in every issue and will continue to do so. In this endeavor, we have to walk a fine line. On the one hand we frankly criticize when in our judgment criticism is due. On the other hand, we have other subjects to report on, and in everything we do, above all, we must be accurate. In fact, AFP is the only newspaper I know of that promises—and does—correct every error.

Readers must be aware that in so doing, we are fighting against the most potent pressure group in this nation of pressure groups. Almost all Americans have been brainwashed to accept the sanctity of Israel and Zionism. They literally believe that Israel is the finger of God Himself on our planet.  Preachers like John Hagee literally worship Israel, making Christianity a sham. (And no newspaper in America has criticized this fraud as strongly or as consistently as AFP.)

The point is that we have to be diplomatic—and all groups and persons in this business of educating Americans must be diplomatic with others—including you, too. It is not easy to tell anyone that they are wrong. I mean the vast majority of Americans who apparently gladly supply over ten billion  dollars yearly in tax money to this parasite state.

AFP will continue—as it has—to frankly discuss Israel, political Zionism and the outrages that accompany this factor, of that readers should be aware. But we will not devote all of our space to this subject nor cease to try to attract new subscribers, because the vitally important nature of this job we have is as important for you as a patriotic American as well as for AFP.

Sincerely,

Jim Tucker, Editor

The Mujahedin-e-Khalq: The Peril of Paradox in American Middle East Policy

The Mujahedin-e-Khalq: The Peril of Paradox in American Middle East Policy

by Mark Dankof

One thing is abundantly clear about American policy in the Middle East–it is based on a series of paradoxical, internally contradictory goals and alliances which typically end in tragic results for friend and foe alike.

Nowhere is this conundrum clearer than in the present U. S. quandary over the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), or People’s Holy Warriors, as chronicled by Ed Blanche, Beirut correspondent for The Middle East, in that publication’s June 2009 issue.

As Blanche capably summarizes what is known of the MEK, the organization was formed in Iran in 1965 by leftist students, subsequently adopting a “bizarre ideology that embraced both Islam and Marxism.” The ideology soon became linked to urban revolutionary guerrilla violence. In the final years of Pahlavi Iran, the MEK conducted a series of attacks and assassinations on American military and diplomatic personnel, as it sought the overthrow of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi.

The MEK joined forces with Khomeini’s revolutionaries in this ultimately successful effort, only to be expelled by the IRI regime itself in Tehran once its usefulness had expired after the Shah’s departure. The MEK began to conduct guerrilla operations against the Mullahs as they had against the monarchy previously, with considerable success. But the Mullahs applied a level of retaliatory force the “Islamic-Marxists” could not endure. They fled to France, and later joined forces with Saddam Hussein against Iran in the 1980-1988 war between the Gulf rivals.

The shifting paradoxes would continue, as the MEK established a headquarters at Camp Ashraf in Iraq, largely under American and Israeli protection. The one-time adversaries of both Persian monarchy and its American military and intelligence allies, had now become a tool of the United States and the Europeans against the Islamic theocratic regime they helped to usher in 3 decades ago.

And the ultimate paradoxes are these: First, Mr. Bush’s Operation Iraqi Freedom has resulted in the installation of a central government in Baghdad largely sympathetic to the IRI regime in Tehran, and with identical animosity to the MEK’s presence within its borders. Second, while Ed Blanche notes that it “was the MEK that disclosed the existence of Iran’s nuclear program in August 2002, stunning the U. S. intelligence and military establishments,” he fails to note credible information provided by Barry O’Connell and IPS’s Gareth Porter that the MEK’s role in “disclosing the existence of Iran’s nuclear program,” has been to serve as a clandestine conduit of information on the subject supplied by the Israeli intelligence community. Hello, Mossad, meet your new allies in the “Islamic-Marxist” network worldwide.

There you have it. The Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK), or People’s Holy Warriors, is an “Islamic-Marxist” terror organization, which assisted in implementing the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979; was subsequently involved in guerrilla warfare operations against the very Iranian Mullahs they helped to bring to power; fought on the side of Saddam Hussein for 8 years in the Iran-Iraq war between 1980-1988; and now, according to Barry O’Connell and Gareth Porter, is working with Jewish neo-conservatives and Israeli intelligence in planting false “intelligence” on Iran’s nuclear program with the American National Security State and Western news media, itching for a confrontation between Tehran and Tel Aviv—even as it now possesses an adversarial role with the very regime in Baghdad installed by Mr. Bush’s War. Confused?

You should be. The global international establishment can’t figure out what its position on the MEK is supposed to be, either. Hence, according to Blanche, Saudi Arabia’s General Intelligence Directorate is trying to find the organization a new place to live; the U. S. State Department continues to maintain a place for the MEK on its terrorism blacklist, as does the European Union; American and Jewish neo-conservatives in the defense and intelligence communities of the United States advocate an alliance with the MEK against Tehran; even as Britain’s Court of Appeal ruled in May of 2008 that the MEK “should not be deemed a terrorist organization.”

Oh, yes. One other thing. Even as Israeli intelligence and the Pentagon pursue an anti-Tehran alliance with the MEK, Tehran, according to Blanche, offered the United States in December of 2003 several senior Al Qaeda operatives in exchange for MEK commanders under U. S. control at Camp Ashraf. The U. S. could have had Saif Al Adel and Mahfouz Ould Walid (Abu Hafs the Mauritanian), even as it avenged the deaths of murdered American personnel from the days of Pahlavi Iran in the 1970s.

Why was there no deal?

Better ask the Mossad, Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Kenneth R. Timmerman, and the Project for the New American Century crowd.

Isn’t paradox wonderful?

Colonel Karl E. Dankof, Shah’s Imperial Iranian Air Force Logistician, Dead at 89

 

 

San Antonio, Texas (U. S. A.)/May 20th, 2009

 

 
 
     Colonel Karl E. Dankof (USAF-ret.), a director of logistics for Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi’s Imperial Iranian Air Force (IIAF) from 1973-1978 as an employee of the Lockheed Corporation, has died in San Antonio, Texas on Wednesday, May 20th, 2009.  He was 89 years old.  The cause was kidney failure.
 
     Colonel Dankof was born on March 3, 1920, in Hamburg, Iowa, one of six sons born to a struggling German-American farming family which endured the hardships of the American Depression throughout the 1930s.  He would prove to be the only child in the family who would graduate from high school because of the severity of the times.  After graduation from Hamburg High School in 1938, he accepted a football scholarship from the University of Omaha in Nebraska.  In June of 1941 he was offered a tryout with the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL), but elected to defer this opportunity until his scheduled graduation from college in 1942.  He would marry his high school sweetheart, Vera, in June of 1941, a marriage of 68 years duration.
 
     The opportunity to play professional football was derailed forever by the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.  The following day, Colonel Dankof enlisted in the Army Air Corps at its recruiting station in Omaha.  He would subsequently serve in the Army Air Corps and its successor service, the United States Air Force, for 32 years of active duty service.  (He managed to finish his Bachelor’s Degree at the University of Omaha after the war’s end, in 1952.) 
 
     Graduation from Officers’ Candidate School occurred in January of 1944, where he remained for a short time as a tactical officer and supply instructor.  He was then transferred to the Miami Air Depot where he was assigned to the Supply Division.  In 1946, Colonel Dankof was reassigned to the Erding Air Depot outside Munich, Germany, where in 1947 and 1948, he served both as Head Coach and starting offensive and defensive end for the Erding Arrowhead football team.  In a fund-raising game for the post-Hitler German Youth Corps, the Arrowheads played to a capacity crowd in Munich of 65,000 people, in what was believed to be a then record for attendance at an American football game on German soil.
 
     In 1950, Colonel Dankof was transferred to the Air Proving Ground Command; in 1953, to the Mission for Aid to Turkey in Ankara; in 1955 to the Air Force Advanced Management Course at Indiana University, where he earned a Masters Degree in Military Science and Business Administration; in 1956 to Headquarters, United States Air Force in Washington, D. C., followed by assignment in 1960 to the 1155th Technical Operations Squadron at McClellan Air Force Base in Sacramento for 3 years.  During the Sacramento years, Colonel Dankof founded the Center Joint Little League in North Highlands, California in 1960-1961.  As the League’s founder and first president, his efforts included the recruitment and supervision of volunteer work crews, and the contribution of his own physical labor, in the building of the baseball parks, backstops, and dugouts which remain in use to this day.
 
     In 1963, Colonel Dankof was assigned for a year to the Air War College at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama, graduating in 1964.  His thesis pertained to the Alliance for Progress program for Latin America.  From 1964-1967, he was stationed at Wheeler Air Force Base, Hawaii, with the 1156th Technical Operations Squadron.  From 1967-1971, he served at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, followed by a stint from August 1971 to April of 1973 as the Air Force Logistics Command’s (AFLC) Liaison to Southeast Asia, in logistical support of the American air war over North Vietnam.
 
     Most of Colonel Dankof’s Air Force career involved two commands, the Air Force Logistics Command (AFLC); and the Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC), which utilized the U-2 spyplane at the height of the Cold War to assist the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) in monitoring the missile sites and nuclear tests of the former Soviet Union.  He was once chosen as the personal aide to General Curtis E. LeMay, founder of the Strategic Air Command (SAC), and Chief of Staff of the Air Force under President John F. Kennedy, for a command staff conference.
 
     After retirement from the United States Air Force in April of 1973, work began with the Lockheed Corporation as a logistical director for Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi’s Imperial Iranian Air Force (IIAF), based at Ghasre Firouzeh Air Depot with secondary responsibilities at Doshentappeh Air Depot.  After the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Colonel Dankof spent several years with the Lockheed Corporation in Marietta, Georgia, and then 4 final years with the aerospace giant in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as a logistical advisor to the Royal Saudi Air Force.
 
     Prior to the health decline of more recent times, the Colonel spent his final years as a volunteer for the Randolph Air Force Base pharmacy, and a volunteer driver of cancer patients in San Antonio to chemotherapy treatments, where illness and lack of funds deprived the latter of private transportation to and from home.  Membership was maintained in American Legion Post 612, Windcrest, Texas.
 
     Colonel Karl E. Dankof is survived by his wife of 68 years, Vera, an artist in San Antonio, Texas; two sons, Steven, an attorney in Dayton, Ohio, and Mark, a Lutheran clergyman at Immanuel Lutheran Church  in San Antonio and radio broadcaster for the Republic Broadcasting Network; two daughters-in-law, Nancy and Carmen; four grandchildren, Elizabeth and spouse Virgil Welch, Steven Jr. and new bride Danielle Rachel Baron, Sarah, and Ann; one great-grandchild, Henry Welch; brother-in-law and sister-in-law Slim and Carolyn Zanker of Hamburg, Iowa, and their sons Charles, John, and James; and many nieces and nephews in the Dankof clan in the Midwest, along with one sister-in-law, Ruth Dankof of Hamburg, Iowa.  This latter group will be specially represented at Colonel Dankof’s services in Texas by Mr. Lowell Dankof of Omaha, Nebraska.
 
     Full military honors are scheduled at Randolph Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, immediately following a memorial service at Randolph Air Force Base Chapel One on June 5th, 2009; final interment is scheduled thereafter at Arlington National Cemetery in the Nation’s Capitol.
 
     Memorials in the name of Colonel Karl E. Dankof may be sent to the General and Mrs. Curtis E. LeMay Foundation, established to assist needy widows of both officers and enlisted personnel in the United States Air Force; the Lutheran Heritage Foundation, a translation ministry designed to spread the Christian Gospel around the world through translation of the Bible and Martin Luther’s works into a multitude of different languages; the special charitable funds of the National Kidney Foundation; or the ministry of Odyssey House hospice home in San Antonio, Texas at 4440 S Piedras Drive, Suite 125, San Antonio, Texas 78228.

Israel’s Agenda of Control and Death in Gaza: Coming Soon to an American Neighborhood Near You

Israel’s Agenda of Control and Death in Gaza: Coming Soon to an American Neighborhood Near You

by Mark Dankof

      Former U. S. Congresswoman and Green Party Presidential candidate, Cynthia McKinney of Georgia, has been sitting in an Israeli prison as one of the Free Gaza 21. She is now known as Israeli prisoner #88794. Her crime and that of her compatriots? In her own words, “. . .trying to take medical supplies to Gaza [by boat], building supplies–and even crayons for children.”

 

     As McKinney tells it, her own involvement with the Free Gaza movement, was precipitated by Israel’s Operation Cast Lead aerial assault on Gaza, which was launched in December of 2008. American taxpayers will be delighted to know that their conscripted monies on behalf of the Zionist State, funded unrestrained Israeli F-16 airstrikes on a captive population in Gaza, employing white phosphorus munitions, depleted uranium shells, robotic technology, DIME weapons, and cluster bombs. Word has it that Gaza has served as the laboratory testing ground for an entirely new generation of Israeli aerial weaponry, to be used at Tel Aviv’s discretion and with total disregard for international law or world political opinion.

     And Mr. Obama, like his predecessors, is engaging in a silence that is comprehensively deafening. Hugh Galford’s piece on Israeli PAC money in American elections, in the May/June Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (WRMEA), provides the oh-so-familiar bottom line on why.

     But take heart, America. What is happening in Gaza, is coming to a community near you. Bet on it. Your own political and economic freedoms are in the crosshairs of the same folks. A totalitarian state is just around the corner in the United States, courtesy of the marriage of the Israeli intelligence apparatus and homeland security structures with their counterparts in this country, aided and abetted by the media and the U. S. government. This is the bottom line.

     The latest evidence of what has–and what will be–transpiring in the continental United States may be found in the current newsstand edition of Counter Terrorism: The Journal of Counterterrorism and Homeland Security International (Volume 15, No. 2, Summer 2009), in an article entitled, “International Corporate Profiles: Israeli Counterterrorism Institutes and Firms.” The magazine is published by SecureWorldnet of Arlington, Virginia, in cooperation with the International Association for Counterterrorism and Security Professionals, and the Counterterrorism and Security Education and Research Foundation.

     The article profiles 6 Israeli research institutes and commercial firms, representing only a sample of the total number of such organizations in existence. The reader will become acquainted with The International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT), and its commercial arm, Counter Terrorism Solutions (CST); The Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center (ITIC), part of the NGO known as the Israel Intelligence Heritage and Commemoration Center (IICC); the Shurat HaDin–Israel Law Center; Chameleon Associates LLC [formerly known as the Chameleon Group]; the Sdema Group; and The Institute of Terrorism Research and Response (ITRR).

     Of particular note to the American reader are the tentacles of these shadowy organizations in the continental United States, and the American institutions working with them on a public basis. These include the Syracuse University Maxwell School of Government’s Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism (INSCT); the University of Pennsylvania; Boeing; SAIC; Hewlett-Packard; and Texas A+M University. American cities, especially Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, figure prominently as hosts for these Mossad and Shin Bet front groups. No American political figure of significant prominence has said a word about the existence and operations of the Israeli intelligence nexus within the continental United States, even subsequent to the Pollard, Ben-Zvi, and Rosen/Weissman AIPAC spy cases. Why?

     Those of us on the authentic American Right will have special interest in the Shurat HaDin–Israel Law Center, headed up by Ms. Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, an Israeli attorney. According to CounterTerrorism, Shurat HaDin “models itself on the groundbreaking work of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), the American civil rights organization dedicated to bankrupting the Klu Klux Klan (KKK), neo-Nazis, and other White Supremacist extremist groups in the United States. Like SPLC, the law center’s goal is to economically cripple extremist groups in the Middle East and elsewhere. . . .”

     This is clearly ominous. The Southern Poverty Law Center and its partner in the predictive profiling of legitimate American citizens, the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai Brith (ADL), have a working definition of extremism which simply demonizes anyone who opposes Israeli governmental atrocities, Zionist ideology, or the left-wing political and social agenda of the majority of Jews in the United States. The Constitution Party candidate for President in 2008, my good friend Chuck Baldwin, chronicles the notoriously illegal and outrageous character of the infamous Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) report, and the American Department of Homeland Security (DHS) missal, entitled, “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.”

     The latter piece of trash reveals that DHS is warning law enforcement in the United States, to be on guard against anyone who:

“. . . opposes illegal immigration, same-sex marriage, ‘free trade agreements,’ gun control, the ‘New World Order,’ ‘One World Government,’ the outsourcing of American jobs, the ‘perceived’ threat to U.S. sovereignty by foreign powers, abortion, ‘declarations of martial law,’‘the creation of citizen detention camps,’ ‘suspension of the U.S. Constitution,’ or the abridgement of State authority. Also branded are people who believe in ‘end times’ prophecies, and who ‘stockpile’ food, ammunition, or firearms.”

     Baldwin goes on to say that the sources of information for the report are The Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai Brith. (Baldwin, Cynthia McKinney, and Ron Paul were among the 3^rd party Presidential candidates libelously depicted in these profiling reports as attracting the support of “extremists.” )

     Why is the mainstream American conservative movement and the Republican Party mute on what is happening, both in Gaza and in the destruction of the Old American Republic?

     As documented by Dr. E. Michael Jones in the April 2007 Culture Wars (pages 40-47) in an essay titled, “The Death of Conservatism,” it all began with the Jewish cooptation of William F. Buckley and National Review. Jones notes that the late Jew, Murray Friedman, proved it in his posthumously published magnum opus on Jewish influence in American politics, “The Neoconservative Revolution: Jewish Intellectuals and the Shaping of Foreign Policy” [Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2005, 303 pages]. According to Friedman, the Jewish activists who formed National Review and ran Buckley as their goyische front man, included Frank Meyer, Frank Chodorov, Morrie Raskin, and Willi Schlamm. Jones notes that:

     “What conservatism lacked in philosophical coherence, however, it made up for in effective political organizing techniques which its ‘founding Jewish fathers’ remembered from their days in the Communist Party. Or from their days in Zionist terrorist organizations. In terms of organization, the most influential of Buckley’s ‘circle of Jews’ was a former communist who came to conservatism via Zionism, in particular via the terrorist organization known as Irgun Zvai Leumi. His name was Marvin Leibman and in addition to serving as publisher of National Review, he created the fund-raising technique known as direct mail, which would play a major role in the political movements surrounding Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan. In 1946, Leibman was captured trying to smuggle Jews into Palestine and held in a British detention camp in Cyprus for 15 days.”

     Thus, once Buckley and National Review were on board with their logistical and financial handlers, other Israeli front men subsequently served their Zionist masters in the infiltration of the American Right, including such frauds as Jack Kemp, Bill Bennett, Pat Robertson, John Hagee, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Ralph Reed. The endgame? Clearly it has proven to be the takeover of the American foreign policy and governmental establishments by Israel, the buyout of the American media, the destruction of this country’s once formidable manufacturing-based economy, and the continued declension of a sewage-seeped culture as embodied in the Jewish Hollywood establishment’s recent lionization of the late pedophile, Michael Jackson. Where does it end in this culture of death?

     My continued prediction: those who have financed the culture of death in America’s abortion industry, and who finance the continued extermination of Palestinians and Gazans with state-of-the-art American/Israeli military and surveillance technologies, will only be happy when a wider war with Iran is launched, courtesy of a false flag incident spun by the media moguls to fan the flames of public thirst for more Middle Eastern adventurism and mass murder.

     As Jesus said in the Olivet Discourse, “Watch.”

 

Mark Dankof: The American Right’s Rubber Ball Pops Up Again

Mark Dankof:  The American Right’s Rubber Ball Pops Up Again 

by Leila Fathi for Janbakhtegan

(Los Angeles/July 17th–Janbakhtegan)

 

     I will always remember my first trip to San Antonio, chiefly for the sights of the Alamo, the Tower of the Americas, and the Riverwalk.
 
     And not incidentally, for the assigned purpose of my just completed 3-day journalistic sojourn to the Alamo City from the City of the Angels:  to encounter The Rubber Ball of the American Right, Mark Dankof, and to gather his latest thoughts on our world and his.

     He picked me up at San Antonio International Airport on time and without a hitch, recognizing me immediately only on the basis of an electronically transmitted photo sent from Los Angeles the day before. Other than a slightly-receding hairline and a touch of gray on the sideburns, he looked exactly as he did in photographs taken of him by my parents 35 years ago, in their home in north Tehran.  The athletic build of three and a half decades previous had been kept reasonably well preserved. My first glimpse of him was a poignant time-warp.  I was not alive when his friendship with my late father and mother first crossed the national and cultural divide, a decade before I was even conceived. 
 
     Dankof was grudgingly tagged some years ago by the late Jack Kemp as The Rubber Ball of the American Right, for the simple reason that pressing down on him at any moment in time, in any place, always seemed to result in his popping up somewhere else, and usually when least expected by his adversaries.
 
     Kemp, as the erstwhile Pollyanna of the American neo-conservative wing of the Republican Party of William F. Buckley and Ronald Reagan, was especially infuriated with The Rubber Ball when the latter was running as a Constitution Party insurgent in the U. S. Senate race in Delaware in 2000, with the specific goal of displacing Kemp’s old pal, William Roth, from the latter’s seat in the world’s most deliberative and prestigious legislative body.  Several late night phone calls that year from Kemp to Dankof’s apartment on the Delaware/Pennsylvania border, the content of which has yet to be publicly revealed, failed to dissuade the latter from keeping Mr. Roth in the Texas expatriate’s crosshairs.

      In the final analysis, it was Mark Dankof over Kemp-Roth, much to the amusement of the Northeast regional and Delaware State press corps at the time.  Despite being tagged by one Delaware State news daily as the “The Texas Gun Lobby’s Minister Plenipotentiary in the Delaware U. S. Senate race,” and with no money in either federal matching funds or private contributions, the former Seattle/King County 36th Legislative District Chairman of the Republican Party garnered the combined vote totals of the Reform and Constitution Party Presidential candidates for Delaware in 2000. 

     Even more importantly, his fabled talk-show host glibness and occasional acidity in forensic debate encounters (now showcased with the populist Republic Broadcasting Network outside of Austin),  skewered Roth repeatedly around The First State, as Dankof and eventual winner Thomas Carper made ongoing mutual hay over Mr. Roth’s repeated refusal to join any debate format where the Constitution Party insurgent was present. 
 
     “If I was to really toot my own horn,” the now 54 year old Lutheran pastor opined, “I’d have to say that the most important statistic of that race wasn’t the 1,041 votes I actually got in the election.  It was the 11 point swing in the polling service numbers in the last 10 days of the election, from Roth to Carper, where I had the real impact.  My radio debate appearances were credited with being a part of that.  I admit I’m proud of what I accomplished that year, ridding the American conservative movement of one of its biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated on the electorate. But then, there are so many more of them to be rid of.”
 
     Life has now changed considerably for Mark Dankof at the end of the 21st century’s first decade.  He returned to San Antonio in 2006 after a prolonged stint at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia for post-graduate work, chiefly to get medical care for a seriously-ill wife, and to care for a dying father.  The latter, an American Air Force Colonel who once served as Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi’s director of logistics for the Imperial Iranian Air Force, passed away this May 20th.  His military honors funeral at Randolph Air Force Base was June 5th.
 
     As for The Rubber Ball of the American Right, his priorities have been refocused since his father’s death two months ago.  Aside from a once a week appearance on Mark Dankof’s America for the Republic Broadcasting Network, and a rare op-ed piece for brass-knuckled print outlets like the American Free Press and the Proud Political Junkie’s Gazette, public visibility as a political activist for the paleo-conservative, America First sector of the American political spectrum has noticeably waned. He has resumed his pulpit ministry calling with San Antonio’s Immanuel Lutheran Church, and is occasionally spotted in local hospitals visiting the sick, or in especially grim missions of calling on the U. S. Military’s wounded at Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC).  His lips noticeably tighten; the jaw suddenly tenses, when these latter pastoral visitations are mentioned.
 
     The Rubber Ball succumbed to the temptation to editorialize on the impact of the wars:

     “I don’t talk about this stuff when visiting wounded kids or consoling families, but the Iraq-Afghanistan war of counterinsurgency in Central Asia illustrates how screwed up the American Right really is.  We’ve killed thousands of people, put our own kids in a couple of unwinnable wars under false pretenses, and are in the process of running up a tab of at least 3 trillion dollars for a debacle that has no perceivable end–and all for the Israeli lobby, the banks, and the energy consortiums, the very folks who own the American political process and its institutions.  The Founding Fathers wouldn’t recognize the place.  You can have Kemp, John Hagee, John McCain, and all the rest.  I’ll take Washington and Jefferson, thank you.”
 
     Driving around San Antonio for 3 straight days with him is a surreal experience, quite unlike any other in my brief career in political journalism.  In any given day, he pops up at Gold’s Gym in the wee hours for treadmill, weight machine, and swimming pool; spins by his own congregational office at Immanuel Lutheran Church in a changing neighborhood on the Alamo City’s Southside; responds to a sudden emergency hospital crisis involving virtually anyone in any part of town; checks up on his wife’s rehabilitation sessions through the University of Texas hospital system; descends upon several of the city’s major bookstore outlets to snap up his usual panoply of newspapers, magazines, and news journals for instant digestion; returns 10 phone calls made daily to his published cell phone number in any 3 hour segment of time; and diverts to Bracken Gun Range on the city’s Northside to join his network of gun enthusiasts in possession of the most amazing array of weaponry I have ever seen displayed in one place at one time.

     The gun range encounter brought me into contact for the first time with an American subculture unimaginable in my native Iran.  Dankof introduced me to some of the regular denizens who inhabit his area of the armed camp. Many were decked out in camouflage gear, hunting boots, cowboy hats, and shooting glasses.  They all knew him by first name, and gathered eagerly around his table to talk shop, and to learn the identity of his unusual female companion for the afternoon session of controlled gunfire. Logos from various military and gun organizations adorned their gym bags and rifle cases. Range tables were stocked with revolvers, semi-automatic handguns, high powered rifles with long-range optical scopes, shotguns, boxes of ammunition, headphones for hearing protection, and even infrared technology for night vision shooting.

     “My father taught me how to use a gun many years ago,” he explained.  “We never went hunting, only to the ranges for regular target practice.  He and I would compete with each other with the Model 1911 Colt .45 auto, and the Winchester Model 94 in .30-.30 [John Wayne's lever action rifle in the Western movies].  It’s a fact that I never outshot him once.  When we lived in Iran decades ago, he was still beating me at racquetball, when I was 20 and he was 55.  I still feel his presence out here when I come to practice.”

     The conversation between volleys of piercing gun blasts turned naturally to The Rubber Ball’s younger days in my homeland.  “I really loved Iran,” he remembered with more than a trace of wistfulness.  “It was my plan to return there after college, to learn the language, and to travel as extensively within the country as possible.  The Revolution changed all of that in a heartbeat.”

     Topics Iranian would continue in my final night in San Antonio, at a steakhouse called Wildgrass.  The Pastor [known jokingly as "Father" by his circle of friends at Bracken Range] insisted on paying the bill. “You came here from Los Angeles to talk to me,” he cautioned.  “And your parents did more for me in Iran years ago than can ever be recounted.  One can’t return to the past in life, but I’m often taken back to those days when my mind wanders.  It was a different time, a different age, a different place.”

     This led me to the critical question I had been destined to ask Mark Dankof since arriving in the Alamo City.  As you see things now, what continues to give you meaning and to guide your destiny ?

     The Rubber Ball of the American Right paused.  He gathered his thoughts as he smiled, then engaged my question.

     “I’ve given up on changing the course of America through the electoral process,” he opines.  “I think the United States is in the final stages of its past role as a world empire.  I’ve largely shifted into regaining my focus and emphasis on the things of God, and things that edify me, as opposed to dwelling on things that are simply destructive.  You know how it is.”

What are those things?

     He paused once more.  “Other than prayer, Scripture reading, and helping people who need it, my goal is to finish my post-graduate thesis and theological German exam, to learn some Persian through the Pimsleur Language Program, and to complete 3 books in the next 2 months.”

The books in question?

“The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit and Its Impact on World History, by Dr. E. Michael Jones; Iran/Persia:  Ancient and Modern (Odyssey Books and Guides); and The Life and Times of the Shah by Gholam Reza Afkhami.”

Any parting advice to my readers?

     “Get your priorities straight.  Spend your time on things that matter.  Dump the things that don’t.  It’s that simple.”

Any prediction on what will, or should happen in Iran?

     “What will happen may prove entirely different from what should happen there.  Keeping in mind that virtually no one cares what I think on the subject, I’d say that the first step to recovery of that country would be the elimination of any form of Islamic theocracy, which is no better or worse, of course, than any other ill-fated theocratic scheme for government on planet Earth.  Second, the nation needs to return to some type of secular constitutional republic, in conjunction with a well defined return role for Persian monarchy, going back 2,500 years to King Cyrus and the ancient Zoroastrian idea of the divine farr.  Third, the country needs to maintain its autonomy and unity, avoid any descent into sectarian and regional tribalisms, and maintain an openness to commerce and trade with outside powers while keeping foreign interventionism and intrigue at bay.  That includes the American, British, and Israeli varieties, along with the Russian, Chinese, and Arab brands as well.”

Who do you consider the Persians that have stood out most as influences in your own life?

     “I consider your Shahbanou, Farah Pahlavi, the most dignified and effective female political role model and head of state in any country of the world, period.  I know of no American or European lady who quite matches her.  In the scholarly realm, I’d say Fatema Soudivar Farmanfarmian, Dr. Kaveh Farrokh [Shadows in the Desert: Ancient Persia at War], and Dilip Hiro have given me the most guidance on your country, as a non-specialist seeking to learn more.  And when it comes to political activism and human rights for Iran, Shirin Neshat of Sarbazan and Janbakhtegan is at the top of the list.  I say that for two reasons.  First, she has managed to survive for 30 years after losing both her father [General Ali Neshat, Commander of the Shah's Immortals, the Imperial Guard] and her country at the same time.  Second, she harkens back to a time when people in activism were there because of ideas and ideals, not money and power.  If Iran is ever recovered in my lifetime, Ms. Neshat will have a place in the highest stratum of the pantheon of the giants that history will say had the greatest role to play in the most dramatic counter-revolution of all time.”

     I said farewell to The Rubber Ball of the American Right yesterday, July 16th, before transiting through airport security at San Antonio International for a return Southwest flight to Los Angeles.  Once through security, I glanced back.  He was still there, ready to wave goodbye before I disappeared through the mass of humanity bound for distant destinations through the arched, blue, cloudless firmament of the south Texas skies.

     Dozens of Iranian expatriates of the Pahlavi era still count him as their friend, even as he somehow seems a stranger and sojourner in his own land, in these days of a changing American political and cultural landscape. 

     I now understand why.
