Mark Dankof to Howard Phillips: A Violation of the 8th Commandment Requires a Public Apology
Pastor Mark Dankof in the 1990s.
I am reminded today of the spring of 1969, when I was confirmed in a traditional German Lutheran Church in Dayton, Ohio, after two years of catechetical instruction. In those days, the class had to memorize many Bible passages, and entire sections of Luther’s Small Catechism. This rigor included the memorization of the 10 Commandments, and the brief written expositions on the meaning of each provided by the 16th century Father of the Reformation.
The 8th Commandment, and Luther’s subsequent explanation, are simply as follows:
“Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness Against Thy Neighbor. [8th Commandment]
“What Does This Mean? [Luther's posited question]
“We should fear and love God that we may not deceitfully belie, betray, slander, nor defame our neighbor, but defend him, speak well of him, and put the best construction on everything. [Luther's Answer]“
In the annotations provided by Edward W. A. Koehler in the version of Luther’s Small Catechism published by Concordia Theological Seminary Press in Fort Wayne, Indiana, we read the following supplementary comment on Luther’s exposition:
“False witness is making an untrue statement and making it with the intention of harming a reputation.”
With this in mind, Howard Phillips, the founder of the Constitution Party and the Chairman of Washington’s Conservative Caucus, has borne public false witness against me in an article penned by Zionist sock puppet Kenneth R. Timmerman in the ironically named Accuracy in Media (AIM). Timmerman’s piece, entitled “Tehran TV Loves Ron Paul,” is clearly directed against Press TV/Iran, and against American conservatives who have appeared on that network to publicly state their opposition to an Israeli-provoked American war with that country. Philip Giraldi, Paul Craig Roberts, Paul Sheldon Foote, Mark Glenn, and I are among those Mr. Timmerman has in his gun sites. But most interestingly of all, Timmerman has drawn Howard Phillips into participation in a hit piece designed to hurt the Presidential candidacy of Congressman Ron Paul of Texas (R-TX). Why?
The public professional and political connections of Kenneth R. Timmerman may explain exactly why. The online news service, The Newshoggers, informs readers that:
“Mr. Timmerman is also Executive Director of the Foundation for Democracy in Iran, an organization which he co-founded with Project for the New American Century (PNAC) founding member Peter Rodman, who is currently United States Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs and some prominent Iranian dissident figures. As such, you might expect (and you would be right to do so) that this Foundation has the ear of the Bush administration, GOP members on the Hill and prominent neoconservative thinkers. The Foundation has a distinctly secular bent, unsurprising given Mr. Timmerman’s negative opinions of the Islam in that country, and is dedicated to assisting regime change in Iran.”
“More surprising, perhaps – and not mentioned in any official bio – is his presence on the Advisory Board of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) – an honor he currently shares with Rep. Eric Cantor, Michael Ledeen, Jack Kemp and Richard Perle. Past Board members include Vice President Dick Cheney, US ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, and Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith. A heady and powerful grouping. JINSA, it has been alleged, is closely allied to neoconservative advocates of pre-emptive regime change and to the AIPAC group which is currently embroiled in a spying scandal.
“It appears, then, that Mr. Timmerman and his Foundation for Democracy in Iran are very well placed indeed to gain a great measure of influence and power should the US institute force regime change in Iran. Iranian members of his organization could reasonably expect high political office as appointees of any occupation authority in the same way that Ahmed Chalabi and Iyad Allawi were in Iraq. The parallels are obvious – providing shaky evidence and allegations of a WMD program to help foment a war that catapults them into political office.”
This is neither the first, or the presumably last time that Howard Phillips has been in the unmistakable service of an obvious asset of the Israeli Lobby in the media arena. In the run-up to the 2008 elections, Phillips was publicly promoting Dr. Jerome Corsi as the best Presidential candidate available to the Constitution Party to run in that cycle. Corsi is the author of “Atomic Iran: How the Terrorist Regime Bought the Bomb and American Politicians,” and a Harvard-educated pundit connected to Joseph Farah’s Neo-Conservative/pro-Zionist World Net Daily. Corsi dropped out of contention for the nomination of Phillips’s party only a handful of weeks after appearing on my old radio show on the Republic Broadcasting Network. There, Corsi spoke openly of his regular trips to the Zionist State, and his regular consultations with his “political advisors and friends in the Israeli Knesset.”
Kenneth R. Timmerman and Jerome Corsi are two of the most identifiable figures in the American Neo-Conservative Press working with The Lobby and The War Party. Yet Howard Phillips, the founder of a political movement originally rooted in the disenfranchised Pat Buchanan wing of the Republican Party, is a provable player and participant in their activities, even as Phillips has a longtime track record of rhetorically attacking “The Neo-Cons” and “The Globalists” in a shopworn public profile as an America First patriot. That record includes membership in the shadowy Council for National Policy (CNP), the Trilateral Commission of the American Right. The Internet trail on this is extensive, including Jackie Petru’s observations on Phillips in a piece entitled, “Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing.”
To purloin Pat Buchanan’s turning-of-a-rhetorical-phrase at the Republican Party National Convention in Houston in 1992, it would appear that Phillips has pulled off the greatest instance of “. . . cross-dressing in American political history.”
At least until now. When it comes to my U. S. Senate race in Delaware in 2000, Phillips and Kenneth R. Timmerman publish palpable falsehood in the following way:
“But what about his credential as a former U.S. Senate candidate? Dankof claims on his website that he was the “nominated candidate of the Constitution party” in Delaware in 2000. It turns out, however, that the Constitution Party never held a formal nominating process or a party primary, and that Dankof essentially nominated himself to run in that year’s U.S. Senate race.
“‘Anybody can be a candidate just by filing the forms’,” said Howard Phillips, Conservative Party founder and long-time standard bearer. “‘Mark was never anointed by the Constitution Party; he decided to run by himself.’”
My response is simply as follows. Howard Phillips is a liar. He has violated the 8th Commandment. He owes me a public apology.
For the record, 1) Phillips called me personally at my apartment in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in January of 2000 to ask me to run for the U. S. Senate seat in Delaware in the fall of that year. When I decided to run, against my better judgment, Phillips met me at his Washington, D. C. office on a number of occasions to plan out strategy for the operation. This included a move to Claymont, Delaware [across the border from Philadelphia, PA] and a change in drivers license to legally permit me to make the race. 2) There was, in fact, a public caucus of existing Constitution Party activists in Dover, Delaware (an event mentioned in their media in one location at the time), which formally recognized me as the standard-bearer that year. Howard Phillips was in physical attendance at the public caucus, and spoke on my behalf. The papers which were subsequently filed on behalf of my candidacy after the public caucus were filed either by Phillips himself, his staff member Alison Potter at Constitution Party of Virginia headquarters, or the State Chairman of the Constitution Party of Delaware at their behest. I did not file them. 3) Howard Phillips asked Pat Buchanan to formally endorse two Constitution Party candidates for the U. S. Senate that year, in states where the Reform Party had no one on the ballot. One was in Michigan. Mark Dankof in Delaware was the other. 4) At the National Convention of the Constitution Party in Baltimore in 2000, nationally televised by C-SPAN and chronicled in their archives for DVD sale, Mark Dankof’s 30 minute address to all of the National Convention Delegates from the podium was featured along with speeches by Larry Klayman of Judicial Watch, Christopher Ruddy of NewsMax, and Mr. Phillips himself. 5) Howard Phillips’ nationally distributed Issues and Strategy Bulletin formally acknowledged my candidacy in 2000 in a word of expressed appreciation to me as well as his other candidates for Federal offices, after the election was over. 6) As a quid pro quo for my agreeing to run, Howard Phillips issued me a written agreement as an Independent Consultant to research and ghost-write his nationally distributed Senate Roll-Call Report under Conservative Caucus auspices, for remuneration for a period not to exceed one year. This was designed to cover my loss of income in 2000 when I agreed to devote myself to running, even as I suspended my theological studies at Westminster Theological Seminary in 2000 at Phillips’ request, to do what I thought was a favor for a friend. Now an ex-friend. 7) In 2000, Howard Phillips’s national television show on public access channels, Conservative Roundtable, chose only two Constitution Party national candidates to showcase as featured guests in the Washington, D. C. studio connected to Morton Blackwell’s Leadership Institute. Lou Wein, the Constitution Party candidate for the U. S. Senate in New York was one. The other was the Constitution Party candidate for the U. S. Senate in Delaware—Mark Dankof. The published archives for the show reveal that I was interviewed by Phillips in July of 2000, show episode 237.
Steve Farina, a System Engineer and System Programmer in Delaware in 2000 (now in Massachusetts), also has a different memory of what happened there in 2000 from that of Howard Phillips. Mr. Farina, and his wife Liz, hosted a meeting in their home in The First State to promote my candidacy and organizational efforts for the Constitution Party. Steve recently commented on Timmerman’s smear in Accuracy in Media on LinkedIn by stating that:
“I sat in my den with Mark [Dankof], Howard [Phillips], Jim Clymer [the National Chairman of the Constitution Party in 2000], and some Constitution Party supporters from around Delaware in 2000. There is no doubt that Howard [Phillips] and all involved recognized Mark [Dankof] as the ‘anointed’ candidate for the U. S. Senate seate in Delaware.”
Saved e-mails, official letters under Phillips’s signature sent to me, as well as what is in the public record from 2000, will also corroborate who is telling the truth, if the issue is pressed.
As for my ex-friend, I reiterate my request. I demand a public apology for publicly uttered untruth issued with clear malicious intent.
There is a simple second second request. If you desire to continue working with War Party stooges to promote World War III on behalf of Israel, Central Bankers, and the New World Order, please cease and desist with your Political Cross-Dressing as an America First patriot and Constitutionalist.
It’s time to be honest and Come Out of the Closet, Howard. To quote John Lennon in Imagine, “It’s Easy if You Try.” It should be especially easy when you’re about to hang it up.
Postscripts: The interview I did with Howard Phillips at his Conservative Caucus headquarters in Washington in 1998 for the German Lutheran weekly Christian News, was re-posted by World Net Daily and is ironically entitled “The Last Honorable Politician.”
Richard Mellon Scaife is the chief financial backer of Accuracy in Media. Check out the Rense listing for “Israel Moles Behind 9-11 and Iraq War: The Pollard Affair Never Ended which reposts the work of the Executive Intelligence Review. It tells us that:
On July 8, 1996, Richard Perle, now the Chairman of the Defense Policy Board, an advisory group that reports to Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, presented a written document to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, spelling out a new Israeli foreign policy, calling for a repudiation of the Oslo Accords and the underlying concept of “land for peace”; for the permanent annexation of the entire West Bank and Gaza Strip; and for the elimination of the Saddam Hussein regime in Baghdad, as a first step towards overthrowing or destabilizing the governments of Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. The document was prepared for the Jerusalem and Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies (IASPS), a think tank financed by Richard Mellon-Scaife. The report, “A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm,” was co-authored by Perle; Douglas Feith, currently the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Policy; David Wurmser, currently special assistant to State Department chief arms control negotiator John Bolton; and Meyrav Wurmser, now director of Mideast Policy at the Hudson Institute.
Richard Mellon Scaife is number #2 among those financing Islamophobia in the United States at the behest of the Zionist State, according to the Center for American Progress (CAP). Edward Spannaus’s expose on Richard Mellon Scaife for the Executive Intelligence Review is also revealing.

Fort Sumter, False Flags, and The Empire’s Coming Crusade Against Iran
Mark Dankof in Washington, D. C. in November of 2011
It is no accident that Michael Gerson, a major schill of the Establishment Corporate Media’s (ECM) chorus for a Zionist-inspired war with Iran, has stepped forward in the Washington Post to broadside Congressman Ron Paul of Texas, and to concurrently publish a breathtaking synthesis of ignorance and duplicity regarding the American War Between the States in the 19th century. Gerson is joined in his transparent machinations for the Israeli Lobby against the Presidential campaign of the Texas Republican Congressman by fellow agents Wolf Blitzer and Dana Bash of CNN, who pulled the plug on U. S. Army Corporal Jesse Thorsen during an on-air interview with the Corporal on the night of the January 3rd Iowa Caucus. It seems the young man’s comments on why the United States didn’t need to be a surrogate military force in the Middle East for the Jewish State were too much on target to be placed before the American people for honest examination and consideration. George Orwell lives. The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (WRMEA), which has ruthlessly exposed the backgrounds of Blitzer and Bash, has the video of the latest version of the Hasbara Project online. Check out the following synopsis from WRMEA:
Blitzer is a former employee of AIPAC, Israel’s behemoth Washington, DC lobby (see former Sen. James Abourezk’s “Wolf Blitzer, AIPAC, and the Saudi Peace Initiative” in the July 2007 Washington Report, p. 16, also posted on our Web site). The CNN anchor also is the author of Territory of Lies: The Exclusive Story of Jonathan Jay Pollard: The American Who Spied on His Country for Israel and How He Was Betrayed (the title seeming to imply that it was Pollard, rather than his native country, who was betrayed).
Senior congressional correspondent Bash joined CNN as Dana Schwartz, her maiden name. Her father, Stu Schwartz, is a senior broadcast producer at ABC News and her mother, Frances Weinman Schwartz, is, according to Wikipedia, “an educator in Jewish studies and author of the book, Passage to Pesach, and co-author with Rabbi Eugene Borowitz of two books, Jewish Moral Virtues and A Touch of the Sacred.” In 1998 the CNN correspondent married her first husband, Jeremy Bash, chief of staff to Leon Panetta in his capacities as both defense secretary and former CIA chief. The son of the chief rabbi of the Arlington Fairfax (VA) Jewish Congregation, Bash was chief minority council to the House Intelligence Committee when the pro-Israel Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) was its top Democrat prior to the 2006 elections. The Bashes divorced in 2007. The following year Dana Bash married fellow CNN congressional correspondent John King, who converted to Judaism prior to their marriage.
But we are not to worry. There was no conspiracy to silence Corporal Thorsen on international television on January 3rd. And there is nothing to the allegation that Jews disproportionately control major American and world media outlets. . . .
We return to Dr. Thomas DiLorenzo, the author of The Real Lincoln. He dissects Michael Gerson this week in print, exposing the latter for the historical ignoramus he truly is. Di Lorenzo’s post is essential reading, as is my review of his magnum opus on Lincoln penned during the beginning of King George’s War on Terror which commenced a decade ago and continues to unfold as a tragedy with eschatological dimensions under King Barack.
The essential point clinched by DiLorenzo is this: The pattern of Presidential duplicity, criminality, and mythologically-wrapped spin which legitimized unnecessary state-sponsored violence and war, was foundationally established by the 16th President of the United States, a pattern which was expanded in relentless application by Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Delano Roosevelt as the typological 20th century Presidents of the American Empire. Wilson and Roosevelt, in turn, have strengthened the hand of either the 44th or 45th President of the United States in the 21st century in launching the genesis of World War III, at the behest of Benjamin Netanyahu and the cabal of central bankers and Zionist agents utilizing the American government as their personal instrument in the achievement of global conquest and the solidification of the New World Order.
The pattern of Lincoln, Wilson, Roosevelt, Bush, and Obama has essential components and ingredients. Chief among these are: 1) The understanding of each of these Presidents that their continuance as a Chief Executive of the United States necessitated the furtherance of the power agenda of a central banking cabal; 2) This furtherance would require the involvement of their nation in a war; 3) Hostilities would commence courtesy of a false flag incident, used to disguise the identity of the real perpetrators and their agenda; 4) The war would of necessity involve the employment of mass media in legitimizing the rationale for the conflict among the masses with a barrage of viscerally powerful images and metaphors soaked in notions of moral crusade, absolutism, the sanction of Divine Providence, blind nationalism, and religious visions containing distorted notions of Manifest Destiny, messianic fervor, and millennial fanaticism; 4) Legitimate dissent from the Crusade, rooted in sounder notions of Constitutional restraint, diplomacy, and what Jesus Christ actually teaches about the Kingdom of God, would be met with demonization, economic impoverishment, persecution, imprisonment, and death. What worked for Lincoln in this final regard, is being arranged nicely for Obama in the form of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as demonstrated recently by Jonathan Turley in The Guardian (UK). Building on the foundations of the two Patriot Acts, the Military Commissions Act of 2006, the jettisoning of Posse Comitatus laws, the National Security Agency’s warrantless wiretap program, and the circumventing of the Federal Court established by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the NDAA has formally codified George W. Bush’s observation that the Constitution of the United States is nothing but a “Goddamned piece of paper.” Presumably the lives and liberties of American citizens, not to mention The Empire’s victims abroad, fall into the identically condemned status and subsequently fateful demise.
Thomas DiLorenzo (“The Lincoln Myth“) and Frank Conner, author of The South Under Siege 1830-2000: A History of Relations Between the North and the South, largely agree on the fundamental causes of the War Between the States and the agenda of Abraham Lincoln and the banking/mercantilist cadre which instigated its ignition. Conner’s contribution is especially valuable in outlining the path of America’s 16th President in arranging for the “First Shots” at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, an installation on an island in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. As for DiLorenzo, he reminds his readers of what they are not likely to have ever been told in an American grade school, or by Michael Gerson and Wolf Blitzer, about Lincoln as the prototype for Bush and Obama and their ongoing war with Persia. The Loyola College professor debunks the six (6) most prominent myths about the most mythologized Chief Executive in American history as follows:
Myth #1: Lincoln invaded the South to free the slaves. Ending slavery and racial injustice is not why the North invaded. As Lincoln wrote to Horace Greeley on August 22, 1862: “My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and it is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it . . .”
Congress announced to the world on July 22, 1861, that the purpose of the war was not “interfering with the rights or established institutions of those states” (i.e., slavery), but to preserve the Union “with the rights of the several states unimpaired.” At the time of Fort Sumter (April 12, 1861) only the seven states of the deep South had seceded. There were more slaves in the Union than out of it, and Lincoln had no plans to free any of them.
The North invaded to regain lost federal tax revenue by keeping the Union intact by force of arms. In his First Inaugural Lincoln promised to invade any state that failed to collect “the duties and imposts” and he kept his promise. On April 19, 1861, the reason Lincoln gave for his naval blockade of the Southern ports was that “the collection of the revenue cannot be effectually executed” in the states that had seceded.
Myth #2: Lincoln’s war “saved the Union.” The war may have saved the Union geographically but it destroyed it philosophically by destroying its voluntary nature. In the Articles of Confederation, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution, the states described themselves as “free and independent.” They delegated certain powers to the federal government they had created as their agent but retained sovereignty for themselves. This was widely understood in the North as well as the South in 1861. As the Brooklyn Daily Eagle editorialized on Nov. 13, 1860, the Union “depends for its continuance on the free consent and will of the sovereign people of each state, and when that consent and will is withdrawn on either part, their Union is gone. The New York Journal of Commerce concurred, writing on Jan. 12, 1861, that a coerced Union changes the nature of government from “a voluntary one, in which the people are sovereigns, to a despotism where one part of the people are slaves.” The majority of Northern newspapers agreed.
Myth #3: Lincoln championed equality and natural rights.. His words and, more importantly, his actions, repudiate this myth. “I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races,” he announced in his Aug. 21, 1858 debate with Stephen Douglas. “I, as well as Judge Douglas, am in favor of the race to which I belong having the superior position.” And, “Free them [slaves] and make them politically and socially our equals? My own feelings will not admit of this. . . . We cannot, then, make them equals.”
In Springfield, Illinois on July17, 1858 Lincoln said, “What I would most desire would be the separation of the white and black races.” On Sept. 18, 1858 in Charleston, Illinois he said: “I will to the very last stand by the law of this state, which forbids the marrying of white people with negroes.”
Lincoln supported the Illinois Constitution, which prohibited the emigration of black people into the state, and he also supported the Illinois Black Codes which deprived the small number of free blacks in the state any semblance of citizenship. He strongly supported the Fugitive Slave Act, which compelled Northern states to capture runaway slaves and return them to their owners. In his First Inaugural he pledged his support of a proposed constitutional amendment that had just passed the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives that would have prohibited the federal government from ever having the power “to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State.” In his First Inaugural Lincoln advocated making this amendment “express and irrevocable.”
Lincoln was also a lifelong advocate of “colonization” or shipping all black people to Africa, Central America, Haiti – anywhere but here. “I cannot make it better known than it already is, “he stated in a Dec. 1, 1862 Message to Congress, “that I strongly favor colonization.” To Lincoln blacks could be “equal,” but not in the U.S.
Myth #4: Lincoln was a defender of the Constitution. Quite the contrary: Generations of historians have labeled Lincoln a “dictator.” “Dictatorship played a decisive role in the North’s successful effort to maintain the Union by force of arms,” wrote Clinton Rossiter in Constitutional Dictatorship. And, “Lincoln’s amazing disregard for the Constitution was considered by nobody as legal.”
James G. Randall documented Lincoln’s assault on the Constitution in Constitutional Problems Under Lincoln. Lincoln unconstitutionally suspended the writ of Habeas Corpus and had the military arrest tens of thousands of Northern political opponents, including dozens of newspaper editors and owners. Some 300 newspapers were shut down and all telegraph communication was censored. Northern elections were rigged; Democratic voters were intimidated by federal soldiers; hundreds of New York City draft protesters were gunned down by federal troops; West Virginia was unconstitutionally carved out of Virginia; and the most outspoken member of the Democratic Party opposition, Congressman Clement L. Vallandigham of Ohio, was deported. Duly elected members of the Maryland legislature were imprisoned, as was the mayor of Baltimore and Congressman Henry May. The border states were systematically disarmed in violation of the Second Amendment and private property was confiscated. Lincoln’s apologists say he had “to destroy the Constitution in order to save it.”
Myth #5: Lincoln was a “great humanitarian” who had “ malice toward none.” This is inconsistent with the fact that Lincoln micromanaged the waging of war on civilians, including the burning of entire towns populated only by civilians; massive looting and plundering; rape; and the execution of civilians (See Mark Grimsley, The Hard Hand of War). Pro-Lincoln historian Lee Kennett wrote in Marching through Georgia that, had the Confederates somehow won, they would have been justified in “stringing up President Lincoln and the entire Union high command” as war criminals.
Myth #6: War was necessary to end slavery. During the 19th century dozens of countries, including the British and Spanish empires, ended slavery peacefully through compensated emancipation. Among such countries were Argentina, Colombia, Chile, all of Central America, Mexico, Bolivia, Uruguay, the French and Danish Colonies, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. (Lincoln did propose compensated emancipation for the border states, but coupled his proposal with deportation of any freed slaves. He failed to see it through, however). Only in America was war associated with emancipation.
In sum, the power of the state ultimately rests upon a series of myths about the alleged munificence of our rulers. Nothing serves this purpose better than the Lincoln myth. This should be kept in mind by all who visit the new Lincoln statue in Richmond.
The essential connection of the dots provided by DiLorenzo with contemporary events is this: Just as Lincoln’s war of aggression against the South had nothing to do with the moral issue of slavery, but the agenda of the Northern banking cabal, the ideology of British economic mercantilism, Henry Clay’s “American System,” and the preservation of Lincoln’s personal power, the coming war with Iran has nothing to do with any credible military threat against the United States. It has everything to do with preserving Israel’s regional supremacy in the Middle East; forcing Iran at gunpoint to fully integrate its banking system into that of the Globalist Cabal’s; protecting the status of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency; and purloining oil and natural gas deposits and pipelines for energy consortiums. It is inextricably linked with the money trail which bankrolls American Presidential and Congressional elections, and Establishment Corporate Media (ECM).
Discerning readers worldwide have already concluded that the American-Israeli conflict with Iran is based on the overt aggression of the former, and being perpetrated for publicly stated reasons that are palpable falsehoods soaked in mythology and the American commitment to “democracy,” the ”rule of law,” ”human rights,” and the ”security of the international community.” These convenient canards are belied by the employment of the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK), the Kurdish PJAK, and the Jundallah terrorist organizations for bomb detonations and assassinations of Iranian citizens within their borders, acts of criminality etched with the fingerprints of the Israeli Mossad. Covert incitement of ethnic/tribal tensions by Western intelligence in Iranian Azerbaijan, Khuzestan, and Balochistan Provinces is a supplement to this strategy. Violation of Iranian airspace with American drones will continue. As Ron Paul has underscored, the economic sanctions aimed at the Iranian banking and oil sectors are additional overt acts of war. It is also crystal clear that the American Fifth Fleet in Bahrain is being publicly touted as the ace in the hole of the War Party in an escalating war of words that may well make the Strait of Hormuz a 21st century Fort Sumter.
And for what? To remove the “threat” of an Iranian weaponized nuclear program, an accusation unsupported by the last American National Intelligence Estimate on this issue and the ambiguity of recent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reports? Even as Israel, a non-signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), sports a nuclear monopoly in the region with supplemental chemical and biological stockpiles and the area’s premier conventional military? The smell of the putrid stench of Ahmad Chalabi, the Iraqi National Congress (INC), and their “substantiation” of Saddam Hussein’s “Weapons of Mass Destruction” is in the air.
And for Americans who dissent from their government’s policies in the Middle East, especially in the last decade, Lincoln’s 19th century Crusade against the Constitution of the United States stands as a warning. Chapter Six (6) of The Real Lincoln warns us that America’s 16th President launched an invasion of the South without consulting Congress, as required by the Constitution; declared martial law; blockaded Southern ports; suspended habeas corpus for the duration of his administration; imprisoned without trial thousands of Northern citizens; arrested and imprisoned newspaper editors critical of him; censored all telegraph communication; nationalized railroads; created several new States without the consent of the citizens of those States; ordered Federal troops to interfere with elections in the North by intimidating Democratic voters; deported United States Congressman Clement L. Vallandigham of Ohio for criticizing the administration’s income tax proposal at a Democratic Party rally; confiscated private property; confiscated firearms in violation of the 2nd Amendment; and eviscerated the 9th and 10th Amendments to the Constitution.
DiLorenzo puts a 19th century historical perspective on the current vulnerability of those Americans who oppose the codification of the suspension of habeas corpus by Barack Obama and a complicit American Congress in the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA):
“Secretary of State William Seward established a secret police force that made thousands of arrests on mere suspicion of ‘disloyalty,’ broadly defined as disagreement with Lincoln’s war policies. Prisoners were not told why they were being arrested, no investigations of their alleged ‘crimes’ were carried out, and no trials were held. There was no legal process at all, and many Northern citizens were imprisoned for such alleged infractions as ‘being a noisy secessionist,’ selling Confederate trinkets, or ‘hurrahing for Jeff Davis.’ An Episcopal minister in Alexandria, Virginia was arrested for omitting a prayer for the President of the United States in his church services as required by the Lincoln Administration. A New Orleans man was executed by General Benjamin Butler for merely taking down a U. S. flag. [The Real Lincoln, page 138]“
And as the Loyola College professor ominously reminds us, Fort Lafayette in New York Harbor came to be known as the ‘American Bastille’ [read Guantanamo] because it housed so many political prisoners during the Lincoln Administration [more than 13,000 is the consensus among historians].
I will say again on this day of the New Hampshire Republican Primary: World War III is coming; it will be accompanied by a catastrophic destruction of American citizens domestically whose lives and Constitution will be eradicated forever by its ignition in an unjustifiable attack on Iran; and the not-so-hidden Hand behind it all is the government of Israel and the domestic Zionist lobby in the United States which owns the American Presidency, the Congress, the Judiciary, and the Establishment Corporate Media [ECM].
Ron Paul: Will you finally connect the dots and step up to home plate on this in your remaining time in this Presidential campaign, or will your equivocation and obfuscation continue? The clock is ticking toward midnight.
The clock is also ticking toward the ultimate irony and tragedy in human history, if the 44th President of the United States, from The Land of Lincoln and mythologically “emancipated” by the 16th President, proves to be the ultimate consummation in history of the utilization of capricious and usurped powers that destroy the Constitutional freedoms of his countrymen, even as the planet itself is engulfed in mass murder and death. We may live to see the fateful lifting of the Seventh Seal.
Home from Kuala Lumpur: Observations on November 22nd
Mark Dankof: "The Linear Line from Dealey Plaza to 9-11 and War with Iran"
It is November 22nd in the United States. To those of us old enough to remember, that date will be inextricably linked with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. Old shopworn debates will be revived on the Warren Commission, conspiracy theories, ballistics, and grassy knoll gunmen. What will be left undiscussed is the most important aspect of what happened in Dealey Plaza 48 years ago: the linear line which can easily be drawn from November 22, 1963 to the events in New York City on September 11th, 2001, and now what would appear to be the impending character of an American-Israeli attack on Iran. This latter event is one which Leon Panetta warns will have “unintended consequences.” In terms of these looming consequences, perhaps all that remains to be determined in another American Presidential Election Cycle is the date when this insanity will proceed, and whether or not the go-ahead for the Apocalpyse will be sanctioned by Barack Obama or a GOP Neo-Conservative sock puppet like Newt Gingrich. Michael Collins Piper’s Final Judgment remains as one of the best ways to connect the dots of this linear high-speed progression to the depths of Hades itself.

The Linear Progression from Dealey Plaza to 9-11 and War with Iran: Mark Dankof photo of Elm Street from the Grassy Knoll in Dallas, September 1st, 2010.
As for a war with Iran, the latest must-read is Mehdi Hasan’s missal for The Guardian (UK) entitled, “If You Lived in Iran, Wouldn’t You Want the Nuclear Bomb?“ The logic of the piece leads to the inevitable conclusion: Yes.
I have just returned from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The purpose of my trip was two-fold. First, I had not had the opportunity to travel in Southeast Asia for almost 40 years, and wanted to add Malaysia to my list of places visited. Second, I had successfully procured a meeting with Matthias Chang of Future FastForward and the Perdana Peace Organization.
Meeting Chang is quite an experience. We covered his role of leadership in the Malaysian humanitarian aid mission to Gaza, his prison experience of a year and a half ago, and his observations on developments both Malaysian and global. His predictions of global economic tsunami in his Trilogy appear to be well on their way to fulfillment, paralleling my own forecasts of the last eight years of an American-Israeli-Iranian military conflict. One can well argue that the two trends are symbiotically linked to each other.
Chang’s observations on Corporate Media in Malaysia in his office conversation with me mirror my own brief experience in Kuala Lumpur with newspapers like the New Straits Times and The Star. In terms of hard news, prescient analysis, and spirited debate in the Letters to the Editor section, forget it. Like their American counterparts, Malaysian thinkers and political activists of every stripe are absolutely dependent on alternative media and the Internet for the real stuff.
Matthias Chang and Mark Dankof in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: November 2011
I decided to test my own theory (and Chang’s) about Corporate Media Controversy Avoidance and Management by writing a Letter to the Editor of the New Straits Times regarding the Seksualiti Merdeka (“Sexuality Merdeka ['Independence']“) controversy festering in the print dailies during my sojourn in Kuala Lumpur. For the uninitiated (which included me prior to the last couple of weeks), Seksualiti Merdeka is the LGBT (Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgendered) rights organization operating in this definitively Islamic country in Southeast Asia. A public demonstration of the organization was shut down by the local police a couple of days into my 2 week visit. You can begin to monitor the issue and the controversy over the actions of the police by clicking here.
The New Straits Times did not disappoint me. To my knowledge, they didn’t print what I submitted. Fair enough, but the Malaysian establishment is kidding itself if they ignore the larger implications of this movement in their country. You can destroy a nation militarily, through economic manipulation with global central bankers, or through cultural subversion. Take your pick. Where it comes to Seksualiti Merdeka, an investigation of their funding, and their relationship to certain Western NGOs and anti-Islamic elements in the United States and Europe with ties to Jewish and Israeli interests globally, would be a great place to begin.
Here is what I said, for the record:
Malaysia's Seksualiti Merdeka: Who is Really Behind the Militant Gay Rights Movement in an Islamic Country?
The Editor New Straits Times 31,
Jalan Riong, 59100,
Kuala Lumpur FAX (03-2056-7148)
To the Editor:
I wish to second the concerns raised by Jeremiah Tan to the New Straits Times on Monday, November 14th, 2011, in his Letter to the Editor entitled, “Stop Gay Culture in Showbiz, Too.” Malaysia, and Islamic culture globally, are at the same risk of infiltration and subversion as the older Christian culture in the United States was 50 years ago. The America of today bears no resemblance whatsoever to the country I knew as a young boy. Homosexuality, lesbianism, heterosexual promiscuity, abortion, drugs, and pornography, are now standard operating procedure in the United States. The Hollywood industry of John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Gregory Peck, and Fred Astaire has been replaced by a Hollywood in the moral and cinematic sewer. Elton John is a poster boy for what has happened in the Western world generally. Who was, and is, behind this tragedy in my country? The answer will never be found in Corporate Media in the United States for obvious reasons. But your readers will find the answer through Google search, and consulting American conservative cultural commentators like Dr. E. Michael Jones of Culture Wars.
The overwhelming political, logistical, cultural, and financial force behind all of this in the United States is clearly the domestic Jewish Lobby and its minions. Just as the Zionist monolith has hijacked American foreign policy, and Jewish banking usury has destroyed the American middle class with the Federal Reserve Board, fiat money, and fractional reserve banking, the cultural cancer metastasis already cited comes from the identical source.
Malaysians and faithful Moslems take the advice of a traditional Christian and Pat Buchanan political conservative from America: Beware.
Mark Dankof
San Antonio, Texas U. S. A.
On to a second observation about Malaysia, this one involving the presence of American, British, and Australian expatriates I encountered in two different hotels in downtown Kuala Lumpur. The identical theme was being sounded repeatedly in low-key conversations over drinks and food in comfortable surroundings. It was something on the order of, “I don’t have good feelings about what’s going on right now.” The spectrum of thoughts being expressed ranged from the overwhelmingly anxious to the enshroundingly ominous. Economic cataclysm, societal meltdown, and World War III were the three (3) leading fears of the Western faithful.
My reassuring thought to each and every one of them who confided in me: Don’t worry. Between Barack Obama, the Congress, the GOP Presidential Contenders, and the American National Security Establishment, your worst fears are guaranteed to transpire. Have another Carlsberg, or another Tiger. . . . [the two most popular beers in peninsular Malaysia].
During my time in Kuala Lumpur (“Muddy Estuary“) I had a great time getting away from American media and the NFL Gladiator Empire Cult on Sunday afternoons. In addition to talking to Matthias Chang and a contact on the faculty of the International Islamic University of Malaysia about Christian Zionist eschatology, I went to some great places in this most fascinating city. I discovered the relatively new Kuala Lumpur City Gallery on Merdeka Square’s south end, the National Art Gallery , St. Mary’s Cathedral , Plaza Low Yat, the Islamic Arts Museum, Central Market, the National Monument, and the National Mosque among others. I met a lot of great people on the streets, the KL Monorail, the National Museum, and in the endless shopping malls and kiosks. Malaysia has much to offer, and a great future if it can continue to distinguish between sharks and minnows. Let us trust that it will.
Late at night in my hotel room, I went back to my own roots, in reading. In the wee hours when I wasn’t sleeping all that well, I poured over George Washington’s Farewell Address, some of the warnings of Thomas Jefferson to the American people, the Gospel of John, the Olivet Discourse, the Book of Romans, and John’s Apocalypse. For the “I don’t have good feelings about what’s going on right now“ crowd of Western expatriates in Kuala Lumpur, I recommend these treasures for the deeper reservoir of truths that would really explain what has happened to them, and to the dying cultures and Empires they represent. Their predicament stands as a warning to the good people of Malaysia.
Finally there is my return to my home in San Antonio. In my first Sunday back at Immanuel Lutheran Church in the Alamo City, there was a envelope and a note waiting for me after the conclusion of the Liturgy and the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. It serves as a reminder that there is a faithful, albeit embattled remnant left in America in these dark days and nights. The note read:
Pastor Mark:
Ever since your very first day with us on September 10th of 2006, we have grown in our great appreciation of you for all that you are, and bring to us. If God’s will continues in our favor, we hope to have you with us at least until the end of this millennium!! We hope that’s not asking too much–of you or God!!!
During these last three Sundays without you, we have come to appreciate you even more, and have extended [Pastors] Appreciation Month to all of November.
Your Loving Congregation at Immanuel Lutheran of San Antonio.

Mark Dankof Interview with the Habilian Association: On Israel, the MEK, and Iran
Mark Dankof: "The Mujahedeen-e-Khalq: The Intersection of the CIA-Mossad-Saudi Nexus Against Iran"
The Habilian Association of Iran talks to American conservative and Taft-Buchanan Republican Mark Dankof about Israel, American foreign policy in the Middle East and Asia, and the role of the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK/MKO/PMOI) in both. A past Republican Party District Chairman in Seattle, Washington; U. S. Senate candidate in Delaware in 2000 for Howard Phillips’s Constitution Party; and radio voice in recent years with Lebanese-American Mark Glenn of The Ugly Truth, Dankof also serves as a Lutheran clergyman in San Antonio, Texas and theological graduate student. His last academic degree’s thesis will deal with the subject of Christian Zionism and the latter’s role in shaping a pro-Israel American foreign policy. Mr. Dankof’s recent appearances on Iran’s Press TV are augmented by his opinion-editorials, which include, “The Red Ladies: Sara Flounders and Debra Sweet,” “Mark Dankof’s Final Word on Michael Collins Piper’s ‘Final Judgment’ on Israel and the Assassination of JFK,” “The Bank Markazi Blacklist Proposal: Straight out of the McCollum Memorandum and the FDR Playbook for War,” “2012 Options for The Real Right: But is it Too Late? ,” and “Rapture Rick Perry of Texas: Israel’s Stealth GOP Presidential Candidate? “

Habilian Association: Tell us about Intelligence collaboration between the MKO and the Israeli Mossad over Iran’s nuclear case.
Mark Dankof: Information from non-classified sources is circumstantial but overwhelmingly strong. Dr. Paul Sheldon Foote of Cal-State Fullerton, probably the leading authoritative source in the United States on the MEK, and its presently functional relationship with the Israeli Mossad and elements in the American intelligence community, has publicly stated via his own sources that the MEK is the leading tool of Israeli intelligence and American Neo-Conservatives in the latter’s espionage agencies in launching acts of destablization and violence directed at Iran’s current government and conducted illegally within Iranian borders. Foote identifies the PJAK, the offshoot of the Kurdish separatist PKK, and the Jundallah, as the other elements in this dangerous game. The MEK’s fingerprints in Tehran are joined by what seems to be a cooperative relationship with PJAK directed against the Iranian government in efforts launched from northeast Iraq and the Qandil Mountains and directed against Iranian Azerbaijan. And suspicious terror activities in Khuzestan and Diyala Provinces in recent years seem to be augmented by bomb blasts and terror killings in Balochistan Province in Iran where it appears that the MEK’s partner-in-crime is the Jundallah based in Pakistan. But again, the Hidden Hand is comprised of the obvious, bigger ultimate players and assets. The increase in PKK attacks on Turkey since May 2009 coincides exactly with the corresponding time frames of the Turkish government’s public beefs with Israel over the Mavi Marmara shoot-up and other formal Erdogan government protests against the actions of the Netanyahu regime in Gaza and elsewhere. What does this tell any of us? But for the Israeli Mossad, the American CIA, the British MI6, and their respective Commanders-in-Chief, the operative concept is “plausible deniability.”
Mainstream American governmental and media sources confirm publicly that the MEK is the source of the information being used by pro-Israeli American Neo-Conservatives to argue for a military attack on Iran to preemptively strike the latter’s alleged weaponized nuclear program and its suppposed desire to use it against Israel. It is noteworthy that this “information” contradicts the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) report prepared by the 16 intelligence agencies of the American national security establishment regarding Iran and its nuclear program. Worse yet, there have been repeated allegations in the international press corroborated by Israel’s critics in the American intelligence community that these MEK-generated reports and the lies in them being repeated incessantly by every War Party news agency from CNN to Fox News, World Net Daily, The Weekly Standard, NewsMax, and National Review, are in fact nothing more than the Israeli government’s brokering of deliberate agitation-propaganda to the voluminously gullible and ignorant consumers of these well-packaged charades which employ the MEK as the broker. I believe Philip Giraldi of the Council for the National Interest and Buchanan’s The American Conservative, and former CIA station chief in a couple of different places over the years, is among those making this charge. In essence, it would appear to be the case beyond a shadow of a doubt that the MEK is playing the same Judas Goat role for the American and Israeli intelligence establishments that the Iraqi National Congress (INC) and Ahmad Chalabi did with their brokered nonsense before the last American invasion of Iraq that Saddam Hussein possessed “Weapons of Mass Destruction.” This is a critical angle to this present story involving the MEK. Why should the people of the United States and honest policy makers in Washington (all 10 of them?) now believe sources on Iran in 2011 with every motive for lying and a past record of doing so, especially in the last ten years?
After the last assassination of an Iranian nuclear scientist in Tehran, Newsweek magazine all but confirmed the role of the Mossad and the MEK in that murder (and the previous episodes as well). The coverage was preposterously positive regarding these killings. To put into perspective just how this ruthless game is played, your readers may find it interesting that when the late Sidney Harman owned Newsweek, his wife was California Democratic Congressman Jane Harman, a member of the House Intelligence Committee. According to Pat Buchanan, Mrs. Harman was overheard on an American National Security Agency (NSA) wiretap assuring some Israelis at the other end of the conversation that she would use her considerable and covert influence on Capitol Hill to have American prosecutors drop their espionage case against Weissman and Rosen of the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) for illegally obtaining classified National Security Council (NSC) documents on Iran from one Larry Franklin, so-called NSC expert on Iran. This is just one example of how American financial, political, and media power always seems to intersect when it comes to the subject of Israel. And since Israel and the MEK are now full business partners in directing their animus at Iran, the MEK will draw an increasingly free pass in the American media and government, as long as they are doing the Mossad and Israeli Lobby’s bidding.
All of this of course, increases the moral bankruptcy of this policy mix exponentially, when considered in conjunction with the clearly established fact that Israel is the weaponized nuclear monolith of the Middle East; has never and presumably will never submit to any form of international inspection of its nuclear program, not to mention its known stockpile of every biological and chemical warfare agent known to humanity; while the Zionist State’s policies in Occupied Territories and Gaza, as evidenced by its military assault on the civilian Mavi Marmara humanitarian flotilla in international waters in May of 2009, and the earlier Operation Cast Lead in Gaza, are the acts of an increasingly desperate entity led by a criminal cabal of sociopaths. If the United States is worrying about nuclear weapons in the hands of the wrong people, it should start with taking a hard look at our leading “ally” in the region. But the money trail will keep that from ever happening. . . .
Habilian Association: What do you know about further Israeli support for Mujahedin-e Khalq, I mean financially, logistically…?
Mark Dankof: One presumes that the Israeli and American money trails going to and from the MEK are closely guarded black-operational intelligence secrets not necessarily even known in details and numbers by the denizens of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees. Or shall we say, at least not known to anyone on those Committees of Alleged Oversight not in the back political and financial pocket of the Israeli Lobby. That in and of itself, raises a related issue—the amount of PAC money going into American elections from approximately 30 PACS known to have direct or disguised links to the Israeli monolith in this country, as chronicled by Janet McMahon and Hugh Galford of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (WRMEA).
One recent news article is most suggestive, however. That is Elizabeth Rubin’s New York Times op-ed of August 13th, “An Iranian Cult and its American Friends.”
This article, in the most Corporate Establishment, pro-Zionist newspaper in America (along with The Washington Post), underscores that the MEK is exactly what the Habilian Association, Mark Dankof, Ed Blanche of The Middle East desk in Beirut, and the RAND Corporation say it is: a totalitarian cult which not only possesses a warped ”Islamic-Marxist” ideology that is inherently contradictory, but is led by Miryam and Masoud Rajavi in a fashion reminiscent of that which governed the Reverend Jim Jones’ leadership of his demonic religious cult at Jonestown a generation ago in Guyana. Even more significantly, the Elizabeth Rubin expose provides a laundry list of people in the American military, intelligence, and political establishments who are fraudulently working to have the MEK removed from the State Department terrorist organization list and subsequently legitimized. This would be bad enough, but they are doing it for money—plenty of it, to the tune of $25,000 to $50,000 a speaking engagement on the MEK’s behalf. (see the excellent RAND Corporation report on the MEK at RAND_MG871 MEK PAPER )
Most critically, Rubin’s essay is potent for what it doesn’t say, and is patently obvious to anyone familiar with the subject: These paid American denizens of pro-MEK activities and plans have Israel’s fingerprints all over them. The names in her article overlap with the Israeli oriented think tanks Inside the Beltway, and the Israeli money on Capitol Hill documented by the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (WRMEA). One does not have to be a rocket scientist to figure out what is going on here. This is ultimately the Israeli Lobby and the government of Benjamin Netanyahu and Avigdor Lieberman at work for apocalyptically nefarious purposes.
The Elizabeth Rubin New York Times expose also mentions the “millions” at the disposal of the MEK for its current public relations campaign in the United States, using these bought-and-paid for players in the American establishment. It begs the question: Where do Miryam and Masoud Rajivi and the MEK get this kind of money? On what basis does Elizabeth Rubin cite the ambiguous but potent term “millions” to describe their financial power? How many “millions” are we talking about specifically? And what rag-tag “Islamic-Marxist” cult presently camped out in Paris and Camp Ashraf can have “millions” to dispense on political hired guns in America without major outside sources of funding? And who are these outside sources of this kind of cash? Oil and banking come to mind as possible places to look. Beyond that, one doesn’t have to look too much further to find Saudi Arabia, Israel, the Israel Lobby in the United States, and international oil consortiums, as the chief targets of suspicions as to who and what really constitutes the force behind the attempted renovation of the MEK’s image and fortunes in the West.
Rubin’s New York Times piece of August 13th is also noteworthy for what it doesn’t mention or explain: The MEK’s most well-heeled and connected American power broker is the Iran Policy Committee of Dr. Raymond Tanter of Georgetown University, his colleague Clair Lopez of the Central Intelligence Agency, and the assortment of Israeli oriented think tanks and individuals who shadow the Iran Policy Committee, including the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) strongly linked to Dr. Tanter. This picture is abundantly clear, despite the reticence of The New York Times, at least to this point, to cover the real players and angles in the story.
Dr. Raymond Tanter: The Intersection of Georgetown University, the MEK/MKO/PMOI/NCRI, and the Israeli-influenced WINEP
Perhaps the most spicy and inflammable aspect of the story of Dr. Raymond Tanter, Clair Lopez, and the Iran Policy Committee involves the explosive divorce of Raymond Tanter from his ex-wife, Constance Tanter. Mrs. Tanter alleges a most incredible tale of international intrigue that resulted in the targeted demise of her marriage, career, and personal life, up to and including the specific charge that at the direction of her ex-husband, the MEK and Clair Lopez forcibly held Constance Tanter captive; transported her against her will to Paris, France; and subjected the Georgetown University professor’s wife to a coercive interrogation in the French capital designed to extort a signed capitulation to a divorce settlement characterized by Mrs. Tanter as literal robbery at gunpoint. If Constance Tanter is telling the truth, Madam Rajavi was personally present for her interrogation and forced capitulation to a dictated divorce decree introduced into the American court system after the fact.
Are the charges true? Outsiders who have heard the allegations are at one level incredulous, yet uncommitted because of the cultic history of the Rajavis chronicled by Ed Blanche of The Middle East and other internationally credible sources.
Constance Tanter: Targeted by Raymond Tanter, Israeli Intelligence, and the MEK/MKO/PMOI in divorce settlement proceedings?
Alban Towers in Washington: DC Headquarters of The Iran Policy Committee and Denizens of Israeli Intelligence and the MEK
One thing is crystal clear: Mrs. Tanter is taking her allegations to The New York Times and other outlets who have already covered the MEK’s activities up to this point. Her allegations are buttressed by a thick file of papers, diary notes, photostatically reproduced copies of Iran Policy Committee documents, and a complete list of the Iran Policy Committee’s e-mail contacts by name and accompanying e-mail addresses. That list represents a virtual Who’s Who of the American Neo-Conservative, pro-Zionist Right; major figures in the Israeli government and intelligence community; MEK assets around the globe; and major players in a number of world governments and media outlets who seem to have more than a passing involvement with what Elizabeth Rubin terms, “An Iranian Cult.” This story continues to unfold.
Habilian Association: What’s the role of Israel in the Iranophobia project and the creation of a false dichotomy between Iran and its neighboring countries? What would Israel find beneficial in playing a role in this ?
Mark Dankof: This one is easy. Any Internet search on the Iranophobia and Islamophobia projects internationally leads straight to Israel and its assets in the American Neo-Conservative Right. The Center for American Progress report is among those that lead straight to the key players in the creation, funding, and dissemination of the Iranophobia and Islamophobia seeping out of Daniel Pipes, Pamela Geller, Frank Gaffney, Kenneth R. Timmerman, Stephen Emerson, and the Israeli foundations, PACS, and media outlets. This is a no-brainer. The way these jokers spun the Breivik murders in Norway is a primer for the way they do business in virtually everything else. I keep waiting for these kosher Ken and Barbie Dolls to explain Zionism’s history with the United States going back to the relationship of the Meyer Lansky Crime Syndicate to the Jewish Haganah’s blowing up of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, the Lavon Affair, the Kennedy Assassination, the USS Liberty attack, the PROMIS affair, the Pollard spy case, and the recent AIPAC spy cases. Frankly the Pipes, Geller, Gaffney, Emerson crowd reminds me of the old Colt 45 malt liquor TV commercials in the United States, where the guy sitting at the cafe table by himself in the middle of the bullfighter ring is oblivious to the real wars taking place all around him that constantly get closer to enveloping him while he quietly sips his drink. The pro-Zionist American Right and Left are just like this: focusing on an exaggerated and falsified threat, while ignoring the major player in the destruction of their national security, culture, political integrity, and economy. It is pathetic.
This is a $42 million dollar industry, the production and dissemination of the constant stream of anti-Iranian, anti-Islamic propaganda in the United States and Europe. Someone is paying for it, and finds it profitable to continue paying for it.
By the way, the classic example for our discussion is this: Who produced and paid for the anti-Iranian propaganda film, Iranium, being promoted by Eric Cantor, Sam Brownback, Joseph Lieberman, and the usual suspects on Capitol Hill? I don’t yet have the facts, but the promotional film available on the Internet is connected to Frank Gaffney’s Center for Security Policy. The television spokesperson for the film is none other than Clair Lopez of the Iran Policy Committee and the Central Intelligence Agency. Get the picture?
Habilian Association: What is your estimation of the recent American accusation of Iran’s attempt to kill the Saudi Arabian ambassador to US?
Mark Dankof: I believe the accusation is absurd on its very face. As I told Press TV the other night, the nature of this alleged plot presupposes that the Supreme Leader of Iran, the Guardians Council, President Ahmadinejad, and the leadership of the Islamic Republican Guard Corps are all idiots. They clearly are not. There is no way that anyone acquainted with the intelligence and shrewdness of these Iranian leaders would buy for one minute the notion that they would commission a plot as reckless as this one, with two Iranian individuals representing the unstable profiles of the accused, and in conjunction with an unproven asset in a Mexican drug cartel (who proved to be an American DEA informant). This is straight out of the Keystone Cops.
And when we ask who might have benefited by a false-flag operation of this type pinned on Iran, the clear answer is Israel and its Neo-Conservative agents of influence in the American government angling for a wider war in the Middle East. Israel does not want any regional power in the Middle East threatening its absolute hegemony in the region, especially Iran. Simultaneously, they need an international PR diversion from their illegal activities in Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and elsewhere, where the Zionist State is clearly losing catastrophically in international opinion in every known venue outside that of the United States. Even in the case of the latter, there are evidences of cracks in the canvas where the Netanyahu government is concerned. And between the ominous downturn in the American national economy, and the upcoming Presidential election in 2012 where Obama and his GOP opponents are tripping over each other to demonstrate which has the most absolute fealty to American Jewry and the Israeli Lobby’s entrenched position on the Hill, the aggregate picture suggests the identity of the leading candidates for using this so-called Saudi Envoy Assassination Plot for their own non-publicly-advertised purposes and agendas.
And now that there is a published allegation that Interpol in France has established an MEK-link and affiliation for the second terror suspect now in custody, the odor becomes even more pungent. Yesterday’s New York Times made reference to this allegation, but only in a small strip column on page A8. Where is Elizabeth Rubin on this one? Or is the Israeli scent to the trail one her bosses have told her not to follow? We shall see. Mrs. Rubin’s July 13th, 2003 essay, “The Cult of Rajavi,” taken in tandem with her story of August 13th this year on the MEK, fills in many blanks. Will she fill in the rest of them, and connect the rest of the dots for the composite portrait on the canvas? If she should do so, some sordid people will run pell mell for the exits. If she doesn’t, American Corporate/Zionist media will have failed the acid test one more time.
Habilian Association: After all these many years, you should visit in Iran again.
Mark Dankof: Time and political developments will determine whether or not God will grant me that special privilege. If I do get the chance to come, it is my intention to also visit Yerevan and some of the Christian monsteries in Armenia, maybe in conjunction with another pilgrimage to the Armenian Christian Festival of St. Thaddeus at the Church of St. Stephanos in Azerbaijan Iran. My own feelings about your country are best expressed by your 10th century poet, Ferdowsi. I understand that chiseled on his stone tomb at Tus is an inscription of his immortal words which state, “Let not this body live if there is no Iran.”
The Red Ladies: Sara Flounders and Debra Sweet
Mark Dankof on Press TV: Is Dankof a Real Racist and Anti-Semite? Or are Flounders and Sweet The Red Ladies?
Richard Nixon, not-so-fondly remembered by many of us Left and Right as Tricky Dick, once tabbed opponent Helen Gahagan Douglas as “The Pink Lady,” remarking that Douglas was “Pink, right down to her underwear.” That remark, however accurate, and Nixon’s role in exposing Alger Hiss as a Communist spy working for the Soviet Union and World Communism, were but a few of the reasons for Nixon’s own eventual political demise, along with his own perfidy and political bankruptcy. Jewish-American academic Allan Weinstein would set out to prove Hiss’s innocence to vindicate a largely Jewish fueled American Communist and Communist-user friendly-Left crying foul for decades over the exposure of Hiss and other Zionist assets as traitors and spies. To Weinstein’s eternal credit, he went where the facts learned in his research took him, and later wrote the voluminous Perjury, which correctly and comprehensively proved Hiss’s guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt. Conservapedia has an excellent on-line piece entitled, “The Legacy of Alger Hiss,” which provides much background for the uninitiated regarding this period of American history.
Recently, in a show on the anti-Wall Street protests aired on Iran’s Press TV, I was tabbed as “racist, anti-Semitic, and divisive,” by two ladies, Sara Flounders and Debra Sweet, in a discussion of the anti-Wall Street protests.
Sara Flounders is a member of the General Secretariat of the Marxist-Leninist World Workers Party, which prides itself not only on trying to bring the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 to America and the rest of the world, but is proud of its public role in trying to bring the militant homosexual agenda to play throughout the planet. (Ted Pike’s “Judaism and Homosexuality: A Marriage Made in Hell,” may be suggestive and informative here. Rabbi David Saperstein and Ken Mehlman would certainly reject Pike’s conclusions about Judaism, but not about the link he establishes on gay Jewish activism.).
Both Flounders and Sweet attempted to insist on international television that there is no basis for believing that the Rothschild dominated Federal Reserve Board and its fiat money policies have anything to do with the present world economic crisis or the fueling of world conflicts since 1913, and went the extra mile to deny what the rest of the world community has already concluded, Left and Right: that Israel is the tail which wags the American foreign policy dog. Neither lady has apparently researched the approximately 30 PACs in the United States affiliated with the Israeli Lobby which pump more money into American Congressional races than other other single Leviathan. Janet McMahon of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, and her colleague, Hugh Galford, might be able to enlighten them. Presumably neither Flounders nor Sweet has looked into the role of the Meyer Lansky American Jewish crime syndicate in financing the underground Zionist Haganah terror organization in the seminal period involving the establishment of the State of Israel; the Lavon Affair; the Kennedy Assassination; Israel’s attack on the USS Liberty and the cover-up which followed; the Pollard spy case; the PROMIS affair; and the more recent AIPAC spy scandals, not to mention the recent Israeli-driven Circus in employing Obama and most of the U. S. Congress in attempting to kill any declaration of Palestinian statehood at the UN. As for Flounders and Sweet, perhaps they can discuss on a future Press TV show who they think is behind the burgeoning calls in the American government and media for a preemptive war with Iran. . . . and why. Hint: it isn’t just Iran’s nuclear program, but Ahmadinejad’s attempt to effectively launch an oil sales bourse minus the enforced use of petrodollars. Economic nationalists world-wide, take note. There is also a third reason. International bankers make a bundle off of war. Fiat money and fractional reserve banking are pivotal to understanding this.
As for the specific identity of the people involved in the Occupy Wall Street protests, The New American and the Executive Intelligence Review (EIR) nail down what Red puppets Sara Flounders and Debra Sweet don’t want you to know. The chief players are Zionist George Soros, and the Rothschild Banking Dynasty which stands behind Soros. EIR tells us that the Anti Defamation League of B’nai Brith (ADL) and Abraham Foxman are working overtime to attack those who point out the implications of all of this as “anti-Semites.”
The ADL's Foxman: "Anti-Semites are Linking George Soros to Rothschild and Israeli Intelligence"
For the story on fiat money, fractional reserve banking, and the Fed, consult the late (and very Jewish!) Murray Rothbard’s writings through his very much alive colleague, Lew Rockwell, at LewRockwell.com. Another essential reading is the work on Constitutional money by Harvard educated Edwin Vieira. I invite The Red Ladies to regularly consult both.
Debra Sweet, of World Can’t Wait, has been especially active in the promotion of the legitimization of abortion on demand in the United States, among other things. Internet research on her turns up many interesting connections.
Both of these women are aptly tabbed The Red Ladies. They are Red and Red Fellow Travelers right down to their underpanties.
American traditionalist activist A. J. MacDonald, Jr. wrote me about World Can’t Wait after the Press TV interview, reporting that:
“The pro-abort World Can’t Wait people were counter-protesting us during the Summer of Mercy protest against late-term abortionist Leroy Carhart in Germantown, MD last month. These pro-aborts lied to the police about me in a failed attempt to have me arrested. The police, although still keeping a close eye on me, because the protest is on-going, told me: ‘You guys have already won the debate.’”
Debra Sweet proclaims her concern about vigilante violence directed against abortion clinics. Fair enough. But she seems not to be concerned about the violence directed against innocent children in their mother’s womb, to the tune of at least 45 million deaths since Roe versus Wade in 1973. Or the 300,000 deaths of women due to abortion-induced breast cancer. Or the lives of women destroyed by post-abortion stress syndrome.
One thing I’m absolutely sure she may not want discussed: the provable and overwhelming proof that the radical American feminist movement and the abortion industry it spawned, are overwhelmingly and disproportionately Jewish in their staffing and their financing. Dr. E. Michael Jones of Culture Wars, a past guest on Press TV, would be only too happy to appear with Debra Sweet to give an international audience the full historical and academic data pertaining to this admittedly volatile subject. David A. Wemhoff’s essay in Dr. Jones’ magazine in October 2009, entitled, “Abortion, Organs, and ‘Dialogue’,” is most informative, along with a general Google search of the subject. I also wonder what Ms. Sweet would think of the truth surrounding Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, whose support of abortion and birth control were rooted, among other things, in racial eugenics.
The late Jewish gynecologist, Dr. Bernard Nathanson, who founded the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) and personally supervised the ending of the lives of 75,000 children, is sadly not available to be a part of this present and future conversation. He would later repent of his heinous deeds, and spend the remaining years of his life informing the rest of us about the hideous character of the abortion industry. His passing early this year was noted in the New York Times and elsewhere. A You Tube video of partial-birth abortion’s techniques, and several of Nathanson’s own videos, including the background of The Silent Scream, are listed for the interested below.

As for Sara Flounders, she spent some time discussing the sins of America from a Marxist-Leninist perspective. She does so with a straight face, not acknowledging that she is a card carrying water girl for the greatest group of totalitarian mass murderers in human history. African American Walter Williams tells us who they are, and that the death toll as of ten years ago was 97 million victims. Mark Weber fills in some of the documented facts and context surrounding the Jewish role in the Bolshevik Revolution, as does Nobel Prize-winning author Alexander Solzhenitsyn of ”The Gulag Archipelago.” Dr. Kevin MacDonald offers several informative essays on the work of Solzhenitsyn, entitled “Russia and the Jews,” which is now available in its entirety in the English language. Google search the good Doctor in conjunction with The Occidental Observer. Dr. MacDonald has also written about “The Global Anti-Semitism Report: The Organized Jewish Community Opposes Free Speech.”
One more documented truism: Communism, and the militant homosexual and abortion lobbies share one compelling link to the Neo-Conservatives in both of the major American political parties serving as the driving force in bringing about a War of Civilizations with the Islamic World. They are all disproportionately Jewish staffed and financed. See Murray Friedman’s classic, entitled, “The Neo-Conservative Revolution: Jewish Intellectuals and the Shaping of Public Policy,” [Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2005, 303 pages, ISBN #0-521-83656-5].
Christian traditionalists not infected with the Dispensationalist virus, mainstream Islamic traditionalists concerned about culture and a usury based economic system, and the more secularized libertarian free-market opponents of globalism embodied by Murray Rothbard, Lew Rockwell, and Congressman Ron Paul, understand how much they do have in common with each other. Their opposition to the globalist New World Order, and to the American Neo-Conservative War on Terror and War for Zionism, has nothing to do with the Marxist agenda of The Red Ladies.
All of us oppose Transnational Corporate Capitalism and Communism as a two-sided coin of the same cancerous Beast driving for the goalline for a touchdown for the New World Order. All of us have but one word of warning regarding the ideology and associations of Sara Flounders, Debra Sweet, and their Fellow Travelers.
Beware.
I close today with two quotations. The second is a New Testament reminder of a truism sent to me by pro-Palestianian Christian activist Miryana Maria after last Friday’s Press TV show.
“The Bolshevist Revolution in Russia was the work of Jewish brains, Jewish
dissatisfaction, and Jewish planning, whose goal is to create a new order in
the world. What was performed in so excellent a way in Russia, thanks to
Jewish brains, and because of Jewish dissatisfaction, and by Jewish planning,
shall also, through the same Jewish mental and physical forces, become a
reality all over the world.”
American Hebrew, September 8, 1920.

A Thousand Years as Yesterday When It is Past: My 3 Phone Calls in the Night from Lee Atwater
Mark Dankof: "The End is Not in Doubt."
In October of 2011, I await the year’s American Presidential political cycle with a synthesis of fatalism, depression, and absolute confidence in an ultimately tragic ending.
Back in 2003, I was writing with the same set of internal convictions. The essay below is reproduced in its entirety from that year. It is a reflection on my past political and personal relationship with the nefariously legendary Lee Atwater, George Herbert Walker Bush’s smarmy campaign pitbull in the 41st President’s one successful bid for the American Presidency. I was one cog in his master plan to politically decapitate Michael Dukakis, the ex-Governor of Massachusetts.
Atwater and I succeeded in achieving the objective. But for whom and at what cost? After one term of King George the 41st and two cataclysmically awful terms of King George the 43rd, it is apparent that the New World Order hums right along, as the American Empire continues its final descent to death. Guargantuan national debt, the deliberate destruction of the American manufacturing economic sector, endless ill-founded and un-Constitutional foreign wars of colonial-style occupation and counterinsurgency, the perpetuation of a domestic police state, unrestrained judicial activism aided and abetted by Republican court appointees, and the continued pursuit of a foreign policy run by the Israeli Lobby and Multinational Corporations, are the ongoing legacy of the Bush Empire and the Neo-Conservative Globalist cadre that owns both the GOP and the Democratic Party.
My prediction for the American Presidential sweepstakes is as follows. Congressman Ron Paul, the only Republican Presidential candidate worth a warm bucket of spit, will not receive the GOP nomination. A Globalist and Israeli-backed puppet will. My readers and radio listeners get to predict which mannequin will be anointed as the latest cardboard Savior of the “conservative” alternative to Barack Obama. It really doesn’t matter. In the final analysis, the forces of the New World Order have a stranglehold on the outcome. The fix is in.
As I try to explain the level of my previously mentioned fatalism, depression, and absolute confidence in an ultimately tragic outcome for it all, my best analogy is a medical and pastoral one. Recently, I was visiting a 19 year old kid who had been brought back to the San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC), formerly known worldwide as Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) in the Alamo City, from Afghanistan. He had one arm missing, and everything below the waist including his private parts. Extensive brain damage had occurred. All that remained of life on this earth was being sustained by medical and electronic devices in this high-technology age in which we live. The boy’s condition begged the classic question for all of us in examining such a contingency–when are we sustaining life, and when are we prolonging death? His 17 year old wife of only a few months kept asking me in a daze, “He’s going to be all right, isn’t he Pastor?”
The correct answer can only be, “No, he isn’t going to be all right. And neither is the Empire he lost his life to. . . .”
The death of the American Empire is assured and proximate. Not that this is a bad thing at all. If you accept my diagnosis of its fruits and its terminal condition for the mere sake of argument, we might be toasting this inevitable conclusion. Most of the rest of the world certainly will be.
As for me, I continue to grieve over something that died long ago, the American Republic. The difference between Republic and Empire has been lost on both Democrats and Republicans ever since the American public’s embrace of Franklin Delano Roosevelt over the prophetic warnings of Charles Lindbergh. This truism applies to virtually every political candidate in this country, as well as to a general American electorate plagued by dementia, and an Orwellian news media which receives a ton of Corporate Money for effectively generating in the mind of the American voter the false notion that in this perversely corrupted process, positive change is both possible and achievable. Notice I said positive change. A tidal wave of change is in fact clearly discernable on the visible horizon, but what it will bring for the United States of America approximates the news Belshazzar of Babylon received from Daniel’s interpretation of the handwriting on the wall. Belshazzar finally got it, all right. But it was too late. His life and kingdom were divinely ended that very night (Daniel 5). This event 2,500 years ago underscores what is about to happen again in a new historical context, but for largely the same reasons.
Lee Atwater and Mark Dankof in Seattle 1988: Decapitating Michael Dukakis is Achieved. But for What and for Whom?
I offer only one additional observation in 2011, 23 years after Lee Atwater brought me into a Bush Presidential campaign that clearly evidenced the worst moral and political judgment I have ever shown in my life. I have confessed my own sin and culpability for participating in that fraud perpetrated on millions of my unsuspecting fellow countrymen almost a quarter of a century ago. I’ve been trying to atone for it ever since. There is a corollary observation. For those of you who consider yourselves American Christians, it is time to wean off of the spiritual and theological poison proferred by clergy as deceived as I was in 1988. These Neo-Conservative Caesaropapists need to hear and heed the same admonishment given to Hananiah by Jeremiah after the former continued to assure Judah that they weren’t under the impending judgment of God Himself. “Now listen, Hananiah, the Lord didn’t send you: you make these people trust a lie (Jeremiah 28).”
Patrick J. Buchanan and Mark Dankof: Anti-King George Mischief in South Texas in the 1990s.
After the debacle of 1988 with all that followed, I subsequently worked tirelessly for Pat Buchanan in 1992 and 1996 in south Texas. Those were principled and heady days, until he committed political suicide in San Diego at the Republican National Convention in August of 1996 by endorsing Robert Dole. Buchanan’s political muscle went into overnight atrophy after that decision, one not to be healed to this day. From that point, I followed many of Buchanan’s best activists into Howard Phillips’s Constitution Party, running as their U. S. Senate standard-bearer in the nationally publicized matchup of William Roth and Thomas Carper in the year 2000. Since that time, my writing and broadcasting activity has largely been channeled into work with Mark Glenn’s The Ugly Truth. He is one of the most principled and talented people in the history of our movement. But he now agrees with me that in terms of the present age, our nation has been weighed and found wanting in the balance. The end is not in doubt.
Sometimes our best experiences in life involve egregious error and subsequent tragedy. But only if we learn the real principles and lessons involved in the experiences in question. I offer below the original text of my 2003 essay entitled, “A Thousand Years as Yesterday When It is Past: My 3 Phone Calls in the Night from Lee Atwater.”
—————————————————————————————————————————–
The first call came at approximately 0300 in the darkness of my cottage in Seattle overlooking Puget Sound on a date in 1988. In those days, as both an occasional radio talk show personality on a 50.000 watt Christian radio station in Seattle, and a Lutheran pastor to boot, it was not unusual to be suddenly awakened in the night by all manner of distress calls. But this one was most unique.
The voice at the other end of the line said, “Pastor, this is Lee Atwater, the chairman of the Republican National Committee calling from Washington, D. C. How are you? I’m sorry to be calling you at 3 a.m. your time, but I’m off to an early work start out here at 6 a.m. EST. I’m calling for a simple reason—George Bush is coming to Seattle for a campaign appearance at the Four Seasons Hotel–televised, the whole works. We need a pastor for an invocation. You’ve been selected. Are you available?” I hesitated in the midst of a sleepy stupor before replying with the equivocal, “Well, I guess so.” The legendary, creepy voice at the line’s other end said with finality and satisfaction, “Good. I know you want to get that pinko Dukakis as much as I do. My secretary will call again with the exact time, date, and logistical details.” The line went dead.
I showed on the night in question at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Seattle. There were TV camera men out on the street waiting for the arrival of George Bush. There were also a lot of demonstrators of various descriptions with ugly moods and placards waiting for the arrival of his motorcade from Boeing Field. Upon reaching the hotel parking lot, I was flagged by a Secret Service man who took over the parking of my 1982 Pontiac 6000LE–the worst looking car in what proved to be the Bush delegation’s designated section for parking, lined with luxury vehicles and multi-door hotel and airport limousines. Another Secret Service agent escorted me to a special room adjacent to the hotel ballroom, designated as the “Holding Zone” for the guests who would be eventually seated on the stage in the ballroom to greet the man who would eventually prove to be the electorate’s choice as the 41st President of the United States.
I had arrived early enough that I was initially accompanied by only one other denizen of the Holding Room honorees–the legendary William Ruckelshaus, best remembered for his role in October 1973 in refusing Richard Nixon’s direct order to fire Special Watergate Prosecutor Archibald Cox. (It would be left to Judge Robert Bork to carry out the Presidential directive, an act which set the stage for Bork’s own hostile grilling years later at the hands of a hostile Senate Judiciary Committee examining the Judge’s Supreme Court nomination.) Ruckelshaus was courteous to me, but seemed slightly uncomfortable with my presence. I found myself wondering whether there might be some lurking Freudian suspicion of a clergyman–or more likely, inside information about where I stood on the political spectrum in the Republican Party of 1988 that gave the ex-FBI chief a slight case of heartburn. But both of us were trying to sustain the conversation until reinforcements arrived.
A Secret Service agent came to the Holding Room and spoke to Ruckelshaus by first name. He then turned to me and said, “Pastor, I need for you to come with me. You have a brief private audience with Chairman Atwater.” Chairmen Mao and Stalin would have loved it.
Sure enough, Lee Atwater was waiting for me in an adjacent room. The Secret Service agent who escorted me was told by Atwater to produce Ruckelshaus in about 15 minutes. Despite this agent’s departure, two other agents remained in the room with Chairman Lee and me during what proved to be a rather historic conversation.
Atwater got directly to the point. He said that he wanted to “hear my prayer, verbatim.” I was incredulous and said so. The beady eyes and perspiring forehead of George Herbert Walker Bush’s chief horseholder then got virtually into my own face. He said, “Pastor, the 41st President of the United States is going to be in this ballroom in 20 minutes. TV cameras. Musical band. Big ballroom crowd. Everything has to be right for this first appearance in Seattle. I want to hear the whole goddamn prayer right now. Don’t ask me to Tilt Nipple for you, OK? I want to see if this prayer will fly.”
I admittedly forgot my identity as a Lutheran pastor wearing a black cleric, white collar, and crucifix. I looked into Atwater’s eyes as intensely as he into mine. What followed from me was, “Mr. Atwater. The last time I checked St. Paul’s admonitions to Timothy, it said that the only Mediator I have between God the Father and myself is Jesus Christ. You weren’t mentioned. Secondly, I’m not exactly as wild about your boss and his boys as you are. Thirdly, try not to take the Lord’s name in vain, at least when discussing intercessory prayer. And fourthly, if you’re interested in something that will fly, why don’t you take a flying leap up my ass?”
Lee Atwater blinked. He gulped. Helplessly he reached for a glass of water while the two Secret Service agents in the room tried to appear unobtrusive and uninterested in the dialogue. Upon recovery, Atwater, whose complexion was now an apoplectically beet-red, simply said, “OK, Pastor. I guess we will trust to your judgment and to chance.” Picking up a telephone, he called for William Ruckelshaus to enter the room. I was escorted back to the Holding Room. Upon reflection, I couldn’t believe I had retorted to Atwater’s crudity with an In-Kind response. But one can’t recall a ballistic missile once launched, a lesson that the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush, will hopefully remember before it is too late.
I waited there for a handful of minutes, but it seemed like an eternity. Finally, it was Ruckelshaus who returned with the Secret Service agent to the Holding Room. His countenance revealed a thinly disguised mirth. His eyes had suddenly acquired a sparkle. His demeanor with me had totally changed into one of extreme gregariousness. There was no discussion or comparing of notes in regard to our respective encounters with Atwater. Then we were joined in the Holding Room by Washington State Attorney Ken Eikenberry (father of actress Jill Eikenberry), ex-Washington Governor John Spellman, and a few other schmucks selected for a Stage Presence before the cameras. At the appointed hour, yet another Secret Service agent collected all of us, and marched us into the crowded Four Seasons Hotel Ballroom where we were positioned at assigned seats on either side of the speaker’s podium. The TV cameras were rolling. Mr. Bush’s State Campaign Chairman, later to become the United States Ambassador to New Zealand, came to the podium. I was introduced for the invocation. My prayer was as follows:
O, Almighty and Most Merciful God
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob–
We ask for your blessings and your provision for all who gather here
As we do so for the people of this city and this nation.
Especially do we ask for protection, discernment, and wisdom for both men
Running for the Presidency of the United States.
And protection for their families and their advisors
As we collectively seek Your Will for this Nation
May we always seek Your Will and Your Guidance.
Until Your Son Jesus Christ comes again.
In His name we pray.
Amen
The band immediately began playing. A booming voice over the hotel PA system announced, “Ladies and Gentleman, the Vice-President and Future 41st President of the United States, George Herbert Walker Bush!”
And there he was, accompanied by his daughter Dorothy, who immediately came over, kissed my cheek, and took her place right next to me. Mr. Bush then reached me, and shook my hand as his left hand rested on my right shoulder. Our eyes penetrated each others as two transplanted Texans tried to look friendly for the cameras. The one destined to be President was really an Eastern patrician from a Connecticut family with ties to the Rockefellers and the Harrimans. He was a Yale graduate, an Internationalist, a devotee of Globalism and the United Nations, a member of the Trilateral Commission. The other was in both paternal and maternal lineage from a poor rural German American farming background based in southwest Iowa. I was Old Right, a graduate of a seminary representing the best academic tradition of the American Evangelical Middle Western Right. I hated the United Nations. I was an American Firster. I belonged to the National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America. Yet there we were smiling in front of cameras. What a Maalox moment for all three major network news affiliates in Seattle. . . .
Mr. Bush’s speech to the gathered faithful in the Four Seasons ballroom was exactly 13 minutes long. After its conclusion, he waded into the milling ballroom crowd to shake hands accompanied by a bevy of Secret Service agents. His departure would mark the quick departure of the media and the big crowd out the main ballroom door. By the time they were all gone, I thought I was alone on the stage. But I was wrong. There was a tug at my left elbow. It was Ruckelshaus. He was beaming at me and said, “Pastor, I really enjoyed meeting you.” In reply, I said, “I am embarrassed that I did not take the opportunity to engage you in conversation about the events of October 1973. Your place in history is secure. God bless you.” We shook hands. It was over.
Or so I thought. A few weeks went by. There was a second late night call at my secluded Puget Sound cottage overlooking the Edmonds-Kingston ferry route. When I answered the phone in dread of whatever awaited me, I was incredulous to hear Lee Atwater’s voice at the other end of the line. He said, “Pastor, I will be in Seattle on secret business on this date. I will be at the Four Seasons Hotel at this suite number. Will you meet with me? It involves important business before the election.” My response was equally succinct. “I don’t know why I am agreeing to this, but I will be there.” My curiosity had gotten the better of me.
I came to the Four Seasons in civilian clothes and approached the desk. When I asked for the designated representative of the hotel Atwater had mentioned, he immediately appeared and summoned me to a security elevator. We traveled upward a lot of floors. When the elevator stopped, I got out alone and approached the indicated room number.
Lee Atwater came to the door. He was smiling and ushered me into a relatively palatial suite and seating arrangements at a large table that seemed to double as both a dining room table and an executive conference operation. I was asked to sit down.
There was no re-hash of our previous meeting at the Four Seasons to discuss my impending prayer for the Presidential appearance. Atwater was quick and to the point. The 36th Legislative District in King County/Seattle was the largest in the State of Washington. The Republicans faced the very real prospect of internecine warfare in the District between the Robertson (who had won the Washington State Presidential caucus on Super Tuesday) and Bush factions. It promised to be ugly enough that it might threaten Bush’s chances in the general election against Dukakis in the fall in Washington State. The Seattle media was poised and primed to cover the whole impending debacle. The 36th was also home to United States Senator Slade Gorton and ambitious Republican National Committeewoman Jennifer Dunn, later destined to be in the House of Representatives. They led the establishment Bush faction. On the other hand, the 36th was also the home of an ex-Boeing executive serving as Pat Robertson’s Washington State Chairman. There were serious secret discussions between the two constituencies as to how to pick a District Chairman “liked” by both sides and not identified with either one. It came down to one choice–me.
- I told Atwater I was as incredulous as on the day of our first encounter to discuss his burgeoning theological understanding of prayer. He laughed, before the beady eyes drew tight again in their focus on my eyes and forehead. His articulation was both targeted and clear when he said, “Pastor, if you don’t help me and Dukakis gets elected, you and a few other people here and around the country in the conservative movement will live with the consequences for the rest of your lives. It’s that simple. And the other thing–you and I aren’t so different as people might think. We’re both street fighters.”
I paused before saying to Chairman Lee, “What is your understanding of what we’re fighting for?” It was then his turn to pause before uttering a truism that has remained with me in all the years since. “You’ve got me there, Pastor. You see, I am a street fighter who fights with a European political model in mind. I don’t give a shit about ideas, only power–mine and people’s who help me achieve what I want. You’re a throwback to the American idealist movement which is more concerned about the articulation of ideas, ideologies, and philosophies. Our goals are completely different, except that they coincide in our mutual desire to rid the country of Michael Dukakis.”
I decided to accept his challenge and the offer. Years later I would leave the Republican Party in complete disgust, convinced (correctly I believe) that the European model of power and the insidious Statism it inevitably represents is so pervasive in both of the major political parties in America that the two groupings and their accompanying policies are virtually indistinguishable and mutually reprehensible. But on a dark night in a Seattle hotel in 1988, Lee Atwater convinced me to play along with the Republican Establishment one more time. It would be the last time. As the years that followed brought more taxation, more UN control over America, globalist trade treaties, and more foreign wars, I rejected any more Faustian deals.
Long after our second meeting at the Four Seasons Hotel, I received a third and final call from Lee Atwater while visiting my parents in Texas. He was beginning the short, steep descent to death from the ravages of brain cancer. His demise was covered with regularity in the national print and electronic media. He was confined to a wheelchair. The brashness and self-assurance were drained from his voice. His career as a rock music singer and guitar player had evaporated. The end was near.
But I recognized the voice as clearly in Texas as I had in two separate occasions in the dead of night on the Puget Sound in Seattle. He said that I was on a list of people he wanted to make amends with before the end of his temporal life. The poignancy over the telephone lines was palpable. He reminded me of our verbal jousting before the Presidential appearance at the Four Seasons Hotel. He wanted to apologize for his arrogance and his blasphemy. I assured him that God’s forgiveness in Christ was complete–and that from what I had read, Lee Atwater had already discovered this for himself.
For a time I could only hear a grown man crying on the other end of the conversation. Finally, his voice was able to permeate the airwaves again in a temporary respite from overwhelming grief and emotion. He said, “I can’t tell you how many times my mind has gone back to the night in my hotel suite when I told you about being a street fighter in the interest of the acquisition and accumulation of power. I had all of it. Now it’s gone. Now all that is left is the Lord’s love and the day He takes me home. I’m just glad He found me in time. I just had to tell you before the end.”
“Lee,” I responded, “the Cross and the Resurrection are about one ending and a new beginning. I guess we’re on the same wave length and the same page for the first time. Praise God.”
“Goodbye, Mark. I will see you again.” The line went dead.
I still feel his presence lo these many years later. The world seems to be moving closer to economic, political, and military destruction. The current George Bush seems more hapless than his Old Man in the maelstrom. History is perhaps reaching the end of its linear travel since the Garden of Eden. Yet I am again renewed in the promise of eternal life in the Kingdom of God through Jesus Christ, looking forward to a future time there where Lee Atwater and I will sit down for another conversation. Somehow I see him looking down from above upon this presently dreadful world with a smile and an expressive facial conveyance of love and compassion, two concepts which largely eluded his grasp in this life until the end, asking His Lord to spare those who seek His face from the wrath and the unveiling of seals yet to come.
Mark Dankof’s Final Word on Michael Collins Piper’s Final Judgment on Israel and the Assassination of JFK
Mark Dankof on Press TV: Piper is correct in his Final Judgment on Israel and the JFK Assassination
I told an international television audience on Press TV/Iran this past Friday that Michael Collins Piper’s book, Final Judgment, on the Israeli Mossad links to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is absolutely compelling, not simply in terms of unraveling the truth about what happened to America’s 35th President, but seeing the bigger picture surrounding false flags, governmental and media corruption, and how a linear line of development may be clearly drawn from the USS Maine and Lusitania incidents, Pearl Harbor, and the Kennedy killing in Dallas in 1963, to the events a decade ago in New York City propagandized ad nauseam yesterday on the 10th anniversary of 9-11 by everyone from the American Legion to the National Football League.
And as noted some years ago, Israeli nuclear dissident Mordechai Vanunu agrees with Piper’s thesis, and has said so publicly. Vanunu’s endorsement of the thesis may go a long way toward explaining his continued detention in Israel, perhaps more so than the revelations provided to the Sunday Times of London years ago about the Zionist State’s nuclear weaponry and operations at Dimona.
Three official endorsements of Final Judgment will suffice here as an indication of the quality of Michael Collins Piper’s research, his analysis, and the inexorable conclusions drawn from both.
Endorsement One (Dr. Herbert L. Calhoun, Ph. D., who retired as deputy division chief of the Policy, Plans, and Analysis Office of the State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, and who formerly served as a senior foreign affairs specialist for the U. S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. He was the American representative to the 1996 and 1998 United Nations Group of Governmental Experts on Small Arms and Light Weapons. Dated March 10, 2003):
“As one who has read over 200 books on the JFK assassination, and engaged in research both as an individual and as part of various teams, I can say without fear of contradiction that Piper’s book is now the definitive work on the JFK assassination. Final Judgment is the most thorough, most honest, most penetrating, most factual, and most analytically complete and systematic of all that I have read so far.”
The view of the Grassy Knoll Gunman on November 22, 1963. Did the Mossad and a Renegade Element in the French OAS Provide the Rifle Team? Mark Dankof photo in Dallas, September 1st, 2010.
Endorsement Two: (Colonel Donn De Grand Pre, who served as Deputy Chief of the International Division/Office of the Chief of Research and Development at the Pentagon. In 1967, Grand Pre was named as Director for Ground Weapons Systems in the newly-created office of International Logistics Negotiations, responsible for negotiating sales contracts with heads of foreign nations for military weapons systems. On September 30, 1979, The Washington Post Magazine wrote about Grand Pre, citing his expertise: “If you had been a Middle Eastern ruler in the 1970s in search of American weapons systems, you would have called Donn de Grand Pre, Pentagon arms peddler.”):
“Piper’s Final Judgment is brilliant. . . . Several high-level military officers believed that the killing of JFK was in fact a coup d’etat carried out by elements of the CIA working with the Israeli Mossad. Kennedy was attempting to halt the development of nuclear weapons by the Israelis, while simultaneously planning to disband the CIA and disengage our military troops from the Indo-China area. Read Final Judgment by Michael Collins Piper for more details. [Citing Final Judgment in Grand Pre's own book, Barbarians Inside the Gates]“
Mark Dankof in November of 1963: Age 8, Montgomery, Alabama.
Endorsement Three (Mark Dankof, ex-Republican Party activist, year 2000 Constitution Party candidate for the U. S. Senate in Delaware, and investigative print and broadcast journalist):
“Having read all of the major Kennedy Assassination literature from Mark Lane’s Rush to Judgment and Josiah Thompson’s Six Seconds in Dallas to Anthony Summers’s Conspiracy, Jim Marrs’ Crossfire, and Gerald Posner’s Case Closed, I can say definitively that Michael Collins Piper’s Final Judgment is the Final Word on what happened to America’s 35th President.
“Piper’s magnum opus accomplishes many things at many levels. First, he studiously avoids tiresome repristination of ancient arguments about ballistics and the lone gunman controversy already covered in dozens of works on the Kennedy tragedy. Second, he demonstrates conclusively that David Ben Gurion and his agents in the American Jewish Lobby were in serious subterranean warfare with JFK over Dimona, the burgeoning Israeli militarization of their nuclear program, and the President’s insistence that the Zionist State submit to international inspection of both. In this regard Mr. Piper acquaints the reader with the copious research on this long-suppressed subject undertaken by Stephen Green in Taking Sides, Andrew and Leslie Cockburn in Dangerous Liaison, and Seymour Hersh in The Samson Option.
“Perhaps most critically, Piper takes the outstanding research of Anthony Summers in Conspiracy on the elements of the CIA, organized crime, and the anti-Castro Cuban exile movement demonstrably involved in the events of November of 1963 in Dealey Plaza, and proceeds to show how all of these groups, individuals, activities, and associations were in fact, involved, but under the direction of Israeli intelligence; Meyer Lansky, Jewish organized crime chieftain with a direct line to Ben Gurion and Israeli intelligence; PERMINDEX; and James Jesus Angleton, the longtime director of counterintelligence for the CIA who simultaneously served as CIA liaison chief to the Mossad. The incredible details of Final Judgment even include the Israeli Haganah gun running links of Oswald assassin Jack Ruby and Frank Sturgis, anti-Castro CIA operative with links to Watergate in the 1970, and the role of Jewish mobster Mickey Cohen in introducing Jack Kennedy to Marilyn Monroe–at the direction of Meyer Lansky and Menachem Begin. . . .
“Final Judgment even indicates what is behind much of the disinformation on the assassination disseminated in film and books, including the ominous implications of Mossad agent and Israel arms merchant, Arnon Milchan, being the financial angel of Oliver Stone’s movie, JFK.
“After reading Final Judgment, no American will ever look at the American-Israeli relationship in the same way again, or fail to see the implications of the events in Dallas almost 50 years ago for the present tragedy of the Israeli-driven American military involvements in the Middle East; Israeli infiltration of the American media, Congress, and National Security State; or the insanity of the Zionist State’s attempts to involve the United States in an unjustifiable war with Iran.
“It begs yet another question: What was Israel’s real involvement in 9-11?”
The clock is ticking. Decent Americans, Iranians and all indigenous peoples of the Middle East and Central Asia, and people everywhere who oppose the New World Order must unite while we still can.
And action presupposes the assimilation of the correct information and the will to act upon it. That process begins with acquiring and reading Michael Collins Piper’s Final Judgment. That is my Final Word today.
The Bank Markazi Blacklist Proposal: Straight Out of the McCollum Memorandum and the FDR Playbook for War
Mark Dankof having a Texas Breakfast before assisting Saeb Sha'ath in discussing Israeli settlements on Press TV.
Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern makes two prescient observations about the Zionist-Central Banking-War Party’s drive to incite an American-Israeli conflict with Iran, aside from the sheer insanity and immorality of the proposition itself.
The first is that Fawning Corporate Media (FCM), as McGovern aptly tabs it, virtually never covers the real story, or gets it right. The late William Colby told me much the same thing over 30 years ago, in greater detail. Colby flatly stated in the late 1970s that Corporate Media is totally at the behest of the American National Security Establishment, Central Banks, and Multinational Consortiums. Once it is understood who the Masters of Fawning Corporate Media (FCM) are, the methodology and the game plan become clearer. Seen through these lenses, FCM’s failures in covering what the public has a right to know are no longer attributable to sheer incompetence, but to deliberate demonic design.
Any analysis of an FCM newspaper, television show, magazine, or Internet site will reveal the basics of how the game is played. FCM either: 1) fails to report the real story of any given day or week; 2) buries the real story without comment or explanatory context on the back page of the paper/magazine or in the filler section of a telecast; or 3) reports the real story with the prominent lead story status it deserves, but with a manipulation of the data and a false spin on what the data means, provided by news anchors, columnists, and editors, whose handsomely paid corporate salaries depend on serving as a conduit for the deliberately deceptive, proffered at the direction of The Masters.
The Monday, August 8th, 2011 Wall Street Journal is a classic exhibit of the FCM phenomenon. On page one, the lead stories are the economic downturn in the financial markets in the aftermath of the debt ceiling negotiation controversy, and the CH-47 Chinook helicopter shootdown in Afghanistan complete with 38 casualties. Arguably, neither story is given its real context in the larger scheme of what is happening both in the United States and globally, but the real story is on page A10. It is entitled, “Senators Press Obama On Iran’s Central Bank,” and is penned by Jay Solomon.
Mr. Solomon reports that 90 members of the United States Senate (90% of the Senate) have signed a letter to President Barack Obama pressing him to sanction Iran’s central bank, with some threatening legislation to force the move, “an outcome that would represent a stark escalation in tensions between the two countries. [emphasis added]“
The kicker is in paragraphs 2 and 3:
“Such a measure, if effectively implemented, could freeze Iran out of the global financial system and make it nearly impossible for Tehran to clear billions of dollars in oil sales every month, said current and former U. S. officials [emphasis added].
“Many Americans view the blacklisting of Bank Markazi as the ‘nuclear option’ in Washington’s financial war against Tehran [emphasis added]. Some Iranian leaders have said they would view such a move by the Obama Administration as an act of war. [emphasis added]“
The unnamed Iranian leaders cited by the Wall Street Journal are correct. It is.
But what the paper conveniently fails to contextualize is what the entire world, including the Iranians, knows.
Israel, the Jewish Lobby worldwide, the Central Bankers, and the energy/gas consortiums, are the driving force behind making this war happen. Jay Solomon’s story indeed notes that Senator Mark Kirk (R., Illinois) and Senator Charles Schumer (D., New York), are the co-sponsors of the letter, in a “sign of bipartisan support for tougher financial measures against Iran. . . .“ What the Wall Street Journal omits, of course, is that Kirk received more Israeli/Jewish PAC money for his initial election to the Senate, than any other candidate in the last election cycle, and that Schumer’s pockets have been lined historically with reams of the same levels of financial largesse for doing the bidding of the Zionist State. We might also draw the legitimate and documentable conclusion that Kirk, Schumer, and their colleagues in both houses of Congress, demonstrate the stranglehold that Israel has on both major political parties, as demonstrated each year by Hugh Galford and Janet McMahon of the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs in Washington. The numbers provided annually by Galford and McMahon provide the quantitative proof of what President Obama told Ha’aretz in his last trip to Israel: that Obama himself could not possibly have been elected to the U. S. Senate in Illinois (the seat now held by Kirk, by the way), or the American Presidency, without the amount of Jewish money and political support that came his way. Presumably, the President is saying something about the larger political system and the way it works systemically. Follow the money trail. And the Bankers. And the number of Israeli assets in the GOP Presidential sweepstakes (the exception is Ron Paul) who have never met a surrogate war they didn’t like, including the one on the drawing board now they will assiduously promote if The Masters should decide that Mr. Obama needs replacing in 2012 for insufficient sycophancy.
The average American reliant on FCM for information is also operating minus other information, including all of the specifics of the lies told by Mr. Obama’s predecessor and his Neo-Conservative advisors, regarding why the United States intervened in Iraq and Afghanistan militarily, and who was really behind these ill-advised commitments of thousands of conventional forces into Central Asia. Mr. or Mrs. Middle America has never learned about the laundry list of American physicists with Ph. D.s from the most famous scientific institutes in the world, who question the official version of what happened in New York on September 11, 2001. Or the related implications of the cases involving the Israeli Art Students involved in spy networks in the United States before 9-11, and the Dancing Israelis arrested in New Jersey filming the burning Towers on 9-11 prior to their mysterious release by American authorities and subsequent deportation to Israel. The name Larry Silverstein continues to go unreported in FCM in the United States, both in terms of the conditions behind his assumption of ownership of the World Trade Center (WTC) towers before 9-11, his longtime relationship with Benyamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government, or the amount of insurance profit he accrued in the aftermath of the attacks. The name of the Israeli security company operating at Logan International Airport in Boston that day has been similarly buried to public purview and examination, along with the role of Israel’s Odigo instant messaging service on the day of the attacks. What does it all really mean?
Middle America has subsequently never learned the truth about the numbers of casualties in both the Iraqi and Afghan theatres of conflict, even as the truth behind the NATO intervention in Libya continues to be withheld from the public by a Fawning Corporate Media (FCM).
And in the case of Iran, the average American knows nothing of ongoing violations of Iranian airspace by Western intelligence services, the ongoing American-Israeli-British paramilitary operations of the last decade in Iranian Azerbaijan, Diyala Province, Khuzestan Province, and Balochistan Province, not to mention targeted assassinations of scientists in Tehran clearly marked with the fingerprints of the usual players. Mr. or Mrs. John Q. Public has similarly never heard of the Mujahedin-e-Khalq (MEK/MKO, PMOI), the Kurdish PJAK and PKK, and Jundallah, and the criminal activities of these organizations on behalf of Israeli, American, and British Intelligence, as chronicled by Dr. Paul Sheldon Foote of Cal State Fullerton, and Philip Giraldi of the Council for the National Interest. We may well ask, why are such activities unprovoked acts of war and state sponsored terror when allegedly undertaken by one of the adversaries of the American-Israeli nexus, but perfectly legitimate when employed by the latter? Is it really a case of “Heads I Win, Tails You Lose?”
Pals of the Mossad and the CIA: The Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK)'s recent murder of an Iranian Scientist. Do 90 United States Senators Behind the Bank Markazi Blacklist Proposal Consider This an Act of Terrorism?
And Mainstream America is not asking itself a most obvious question: Why is Israel, a non-signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and armed to the teeth with nuclear bombs and the most lethal arsenal of chemical and biological weapons in the region (in violation of international law), our “ally” in isolating and attacking Iran? By way of comparison, Iran is a signatory to the NPT, has the right in international law to enrich uranium to certain levels, and according to our own National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) is not pursuing a weaponized nuclear program. To make matters even worse according to Philip Giraldi, one organ of FCM, the Rupert Murdoch News Corporation, has deliberately been disseminating false stories about the Iranian nuclear program courtesy of Israeli intelligence in a classic cooperative effort between a pro-Zionist international news consortium and the Jewish State’s National Security Establishment. This of course, includes the infamous Fox News in the United States, hawking the Presidential candidacies of the Rick Perrys, Michelle Bachmanns, and Sarah Palins of the universe.
And what if Mr. or Mrs. Middle Western or Southern American knew the truth about how Israel’s own weaponized nuclear program came into existence? Will the Wall Street Journal inform us of the Zionist State’s intelligence operation that purloined the raw materials from the NUMEC nuclear plant in Apollo, Pennsylvania in the 1960s? Will it even once mention the role of Israel and the late Robert Maxwell of the UK Daily Mirror in the black-ops alteration of PROMIS software by the Israeli LAKAM, which lifted American nuclear secrets and technology from the computers of the Los Alamos Nuclear Laboratory in New Mexico in coordination with the Communist Chinese? Will we ever be told in the United States that the Mossad subsequently assassinated Maxwell at the order of Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir? And what was the real role of the Meyer Lansky Organized Jewish Crime Syndicate in the United States in the most secretive affairs of the Jewish State, even aside from that Syndicate’s acknowledged role in providing massive funding and money laundering operations for the Haganah and Irgun in the late 1940s, along with arms running for both in conjunction with the Sonneborn Institute? Some Hints: 1) Meyer Lansky worked for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS)[the forerunner of the CIA], and the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), in World War II; 2) As Michael Collins Piper chronicles it in Final Judgment, Lansky and his Jewish mob money, plus the brokered support of Huey Long, were the difference in the eventual nomination of Franklin Delano Roosevelt at the Democratic National Convention in 1932; 3) Meyer Lansky would become Franklin Roosevelt’s liaison to Cuban strongman, Fulgencio Batista. This began Lansky’s massive instigation of the Jewish Crime Syndicate’s criminal empire building in Havana.
Philip Giraldi of the Council for the National Interest: Israel Spying and Technology Theft is Threatening American National Security.
The Lansky criminal assets in Havana included Carlos Prio Soccaras, a business partner in gun running activities with one of the Lansky Syndicate’s most notorious henchman. This latter individual had been a mechanic in the American Army Air Corps in World War II. After World War II, this Air Corps mechanic resettled in Dallas, Texas, and became a part of gun running operations out of the Lone Star State for Israel through the Sonneborn Institute, operations supervised by an Israeli intelligence officer. Like Lansky, he would have provable connections to the Guy Banister–Carlos Marcello network in New Orleans linked for years to the Kennedy Assassination by authors like Anthony Summers and Jim Marrs.
The Lansky Syndicate henchman in question would later become the operator of the Carousel Club in Dallas. He would achieve notoriety for the execution style killing of accused Kennedy assassination Lee Harvey Oswald. His name: Jack Rubinstein, a.k.a. Jack Ruby. Like fellow partner in Lansky Crime Syndicate operations in Cuba, CIA and anti-Castro operative Frank Sturgis of JFK Assassination and Watergate fame, the connections of Ruby are indeed suggestive. We learn not only from Michael Collins Piper, but from Frank Sturgis’s new biography penned by his nephew and entitled, “Warrior,” that Sturgis was also in the Army Air Corps in World War II and served on General Lucius Clay’s honor guard detail in postwar Germany. Sturgis, began his clandestine career, however, courtesy of a Jewish girlfriend who was simultaneously sexually involved with a Colonel on Clay’s staff. She was an operative with the Zionist Haganah, and recruited Sturgis in the late 1940s as a courier for the underground terror organization, at the same time Meyer Lansky and the Sonneborn Institute were providing the Haganah with money, arms, and international contacts.

Taken in tandem with the knowledge we possess now about J. F. K.’s secret conflict in 1963 with David Ben Gurion over the issue of international inspection of Israel’s nuclear program at Dimona, and the Israeli Prime Minister’s relationship with Lansky, is there yet another reason why Israel continues to refuse to release Mordechai Vanunu? Is there still concern over what Vanunu has already revealed about the nuclear program of the Jewish State, or are his statements about events in the United States in 1963 what must continue to remain in relative darkness as far as the Israeli government and intelligence community and their allies in the United States are concerned?
I reiterate without apology what I told Iran’s Press TV last week in a discussion on Israeli settlements with Saeb Sha’ath and pro-Zionist London film producer Carol Gould. The entire history of Israel since 1947/48 underscores the ongoingly criminal character of the Zionist enterprise, ideologically rooted in the racial supremacist doctrines of the Talmud. That linear historical line traces from Deir Yassin and the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian Arab villages to Menachim Begin and the Irgun’s blowing up of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem. It includes the assassinations of Lord Moyne and Swedish Count Bernadotte. One continues through the Lavon Affair; the Kennedy Assassination; the attack on the USS Liberty by Israel in 1967; the Sabra and Shatila massacres in southern Lebanon in 1982; the PROMIS affair and the Robert Maxwell murder; the Pollard spy case, including the murder of Shabtai Kalmanovich in Moscow; the Ben-Ami spy case; the AIPAC spy case; the murder of Rachel Corrie; the utilization of white phosphorus and depleted uranium munitions in Lebanon and Gaza; the Operation Cast Lead in Gaza which killed 1400 Palestinian civilians; and the May 2010 criminal assault on the Mavi Marmara Freedom Flotilla in international waters, which are only the highlights. It all began in earnest, however, with stealing the land of 750,000 Palestinians in a 51%-49% “deal” arranged by UN Partition in 1947. That 49% is now down to 9% and shrinking for the Palestinians, including the obvious attempt to purloin East Jerusalem by Israeli settlers and their financiers. But as I said on Press TV, one must contextualize all of this by reiterating the operative Zionist doctrine of “Eretz Yisrael” or Greater Israel, which stakes a claim on Jewish control of all the territories between the Nile River and the Tigris-Euphrates. This was the vision of not only Herzl, but his predecessor as the Father of Zionism, Christian businessman and Dispensational prophecy guru William E. Blackstone of Chicago. Blackstone foundationally established the political, economic, and military application of his Scofield Reference Bible eschatology to the facilitation of the actual creation of the State of Israel, in a way understood by few modern Zionists or Christians. John Hagee primarily carries the water for this ongoing effort now.
But these past criminal highlights pale in comparison to launching a preemptive military assault on Iran, or inciting the United States to do so. The potential not only for massive loss of life but creating the genesis of World War III, is inherently obvious.
Ray McGovern warns us that Israel may well embody the wounded animal syndrome. Like the wounded and cornered animal who becomes irrationally ferocious in a final fight to the death, Israel’s conduct is likely to become more, not less reckless, in the days ahead. As the days count down to what may well be the UN General Assembly’s decision to unilaterally declare a Palestinian State, and as the grip of the United States continues to loosen on its own economy and its Wars of Empire, desperation may facilitate the ultimate False Flag Incident designed to deliberately frame Iran for an event in the world which rejuvenates the comatose American public’s appetite for war in the Islamic world on behalf of Israel. It is a dangerous period of time that now approaches.
With this context in mind, we return full circle to the proposal of the U. S. Senate for sanctions on Iran’s Bank Markazi. It is clear that this latest offensive has upped the ante in American-Israeli attempts to economically and politically isolate the Islamic Republic, even as black operational paramilitary actions continue to occur in conjunction with criminal terror organizations presently on the CIA-Mossad payroll in the Middle East and Central Asia. These tactics, along with continued attempts at altering the domestic Iranian political landscape with Western intelligence funding for NGOs advocating “reform“, are intensifying even as the verdict is still out on their ultimate effectiveness.
The historic context for what is happening now is seven decades past, in the days between October 4th, 1940 and December 7th, 1941, and the machinations of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the Oval Office.
George T. Eggleston’s compendium on the forces behind FDR’s war plans is but one place to turn for the beginning of the explanation of the historical context involved in what happened. But several facts are not in doubt. Roosevelt’s desire for provoking war with Japan was not simply to gain backdoor access for American involvement in the European war he yearned for, it was also a desire to protect the Soviet Union from a pincer attack on the part of both Germany and Japan. The Tyler Kent case is illustrative of what was going on, and what was being systematically concealed from an unsuspecting American public both then and now.
Roosevelt, like Barack Obama, could also read poll numbers. The American public wanted no part of another Great War in Europe. Thus, Roosevelt knew that he would have to lie the American public into the conflict. He manipulated events to insure that it would happen in a fashion designed to fan war fever from coast-to-coast. And he did so while publicly assuring the masses in the Presidential election of 1940 that he would never send young American boys into harm’s way in Europe, even as the New Deal’s vaunted economic stimulus package of programs was failing to jump start the American economy out of the Great Depression.
The Rosetta Stone, as chronicled by Robert Stinnett in Day of Deceit: FDR and Pearl Harbor, was the McCollum Memorandum. Lieutenant Commander Arthur McCollum was head of the Far East desk of the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI). His code name was F-2. He oversaw the routing of communications intelligence to FDR from early 1940 to December 7th, 1941. Every intercepted and decoded Japanese military and diplomatic report destined for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue went through the Far East Asia section of ONI, which McCollum supervised and directed. His office was an element of Station US, a secret American cryptographic center located at the main naval headquarters at 18th Street and Constitution Avenue, N. W., about 4 blocks from the White House.
The McCollum Memorandum of October 7th, 1940, provided Roosevelt’s blueprint for inciting the war he fervently sought. Point 9 of the Memorandum contained the 8 point formula for war in the Pacific sought by the President, as well as the rationale for pursuing the strategy commended by the Lieutenant Commander. From October 7th, 1940 to December 7th, 1941, Roosevelt diligently pursued them to the letter, with the endgame being the attack on Pearl Harbor. It would not be until January 24, 1995, that Robert Stinnett would discover the Memorandum in Box 6 of a special US Navy collection in RG 38 in the Military Reference Branch of Archives II.
McCollum’s direct unfolding of the pathway to war is bone chilling prose 70 years later. He writes:
“Point Nine: It is not believed that in the present state of political opinion the United States government is capable of declaring war against Japan without more ado. [emphasis added] . . . Therefore, the following course of action is suggested:
“1. Make an arrangement with Britain for the use of British bases in the Pacific, particularly Singapore.
“2. Make an arrangement with Holland for the use of base facilities and acquisition of supplies in the Dutch East Indies.
“3. Give all possible aid to the Chinese Government of Chiang-Kai-Shek.
“4. Send a division of long range heavy cruisers to the Orient, Philippines, or Singapore. [emphasis added]
“5. Send two divisions of submarines to the Orient. [emphasis added]
“6. Keep the main strength of the U. S. Fleet now in the Pacific in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Islands. [emphasis added]
“7. Insist that the Dutch refuse to grant Japanese demands for undue economic concessions, particularly oil. [emphasis added]
“8. Completely embargo all U. S. Trade with Japan, in collaboration with a similar embargo imposed by the British Empire. [emphasis added]
“Point 10: If by these means Japan could be led to commit an overt act of war, so much the better [emphasis added]. At all events we must be fully prepared to accept the threat of war.
“[Signed] A. H. McCollum
Fast forward to August of 2011. The American government continues to rhetorically threaten Iran, as does the Netanyahu-Lieberman phalanx in Israel. Overt military preparations ranging from base acquisitions and arrangements in Central Asia to aircraft carrier task force deployments and military exercises continue. Covert black operations inside Iran procede apace, along with the adjacent American conventional military presence in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz watch for signs of overt American or Israeli naval actions.
In an impending election year, the American economy continues to flounder courtesy of national debt, overreaching military commitments, ballooning federal budget deficits, a moribund manufacturing economy, burgeoning foreign trade deficits, fractional reserve banking, an unemployment rate close to 22%, and a dollar perhaps soon to be history as the world’s reserve currency. No one in power has any answers, just as Roosevelt had none in 1940. Like the political scene then, the poll numbers now indicate an American public sick of never ending wars of occupation and counter-insurgency in Central Asia, even as more Americans are beginning to sense that their government’s monolithic support of the Jewish State and its policies in Palestine is creating more enemies exponentially, and arguably the most hostile international climate faced by the United States in its entire history. Zionist Neo-Conservative zealots criticize this turning of public opinion tide against spending 10-12 billion a month in Afghanistan, a total of 1 trillion thus far in both Iraq and Afghanistan with the meter running, and 10 billion in year in subsidizing Israel. Thanks to an Internet technological era not seen in previous epochs in history, more Americans are finding out about the real truth of past and present. It may be harder for the War Party to raise the curtain as effectively this time.
But try they will. Obama is faced with a dilemma. He must either revitalize his sub-40% approval poll numbers and his flagging economic program with action approved by The Master Plan of His Masters, or risk replacement with a GOP mannequin more than willing to do The Masters bidding. Bona fide American populists and a declining middle class are caught in the crossfire of the Hegelian dialectic, with options in 2012 fading and time running out.
The next phase in this escalation by The Masters is clearly the Bank Markazi blacklist proposal being foisted upon Obama by the U. S. Senate. But this is not the endgame. The endgame is war. The preferred method of starting it is to do what General George Patton advocated in post-war Europe [against the Soviet Union], to “. . . get us a war with those sons of bitches and make it look like it was their fault.”
Who will win this war? Will it be the Central Bankers, the Israeli Lobby, the Multinational Energy Consortiums, and the armaments manufacturers? Or will the American public finally wise up and reclaim their own country again? Does the spirit of Charles Lindbergh still live?
Who are the wild cards? One is clearly an Iran more resilent than those who consistently misunderstand and underestimate it in the West. Two others are China and Russia. What will the Chinese do with American debt instruments on the open market if we undertake the most catastrophically idiotic preemptive war in history? Will the Chinese and the Russians merely standby militarily? How does the larger Islamic world react to these events as they continue to reach a climax?
One thing is clear. Israel needs a diversionary event to refocus attention away from Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, while jump starting their flagging domestic political support in Europe and the United States. The American government needs one to jump start domestic support for their Imperial Wars and to divert attention from an economy in free fall. It is Winner-Take-All for the Central Banks and the Federal Reserve.
The creation of an external enemy, followed by a manufactured incident with The Masters behind the curtain, is one of the oldest tricks of the trade in history. When you hear a new version of Remember Pearl Harbor playing on the radio after an American-Israeli war with Iran commences, either before November of 2012 or after a Presidential inauguration in 2013, remember the warning you are reading this day.
As for the American people, if they want a real war the enemy is not Iran and the Iranian people. If there is a fight worth fighting, it is in reclaiming our nation’s political, cultural, and economic landscape from the same sorts of thieves who have been robbing Palestinians blind since 1948. They have been robbing Americans of their Old Republic throughout the 20th century, with nary a domestic uprising.
Will The Masters pull it off again?
2012 Options: A Real Platform for the Real Right: But Is It Too Late?
Mark Dankof: An Honest American Asks, "Is it Too Late?"
When I was a young person, the late William Colby once told me that a honest problem solver had to do three (3) things.
The first involves defining the real problem at hand, isolating root causes and jettisoning red herrings.
The second involves identifying the right sources and resources, utilizing their insights and wisdom while simultaneously eliminating the wrong sources and their deep freezing reservoir of penetratingly false analysis and deceptive solutions, ending only in a beeline to Sheol and outer darkness if followed because of fatally incurable myopia.
The third involves literal intercessory prayer for the honest problem solver who believes that God and that option actually exist. It is an especially focused prayer. One prays fervently that the magnitude of the problem and its enshrouding metastasis have not outstripped the abilities and options of the problem solvers, and the allotted time granted to the latter to solve the issues at hand. Translation: It may prove to be too late.
William E. Colby: Was April of 1996 an Accident? Or a Final Payback from the Angleton/Israel Connection?
Time ran out for William Colby in April of 1996. The various spins on his life and death range from the official version to alternative ones.
And as James Petras’ latest missal suggests, time may also be running out for any semblance of solution to the crisis confronting honest and decent Americans being sucked into suffocating quicksand by dark forces and events threatening to comprehensively destroy both their individual lives and the Old Republic once governed by the great principles reaffirmed in the outcome of the American Revolutionary War. That conflict and the Republic it produced would be clearly explained and justified by George Washington’s Farewell Address, Madison’s essays in The Federalist, the work and philosophy of Thomas Jefferson, and the later struggle of Andrew Jackson against Central Banking.
It would then be tragically left to Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt to destroy the Old Republic and commence the frenzied goosestepping to an Empire rooted in Globalism, Imperialism, Militarism, International Central Banking, and support of World Zionism. The Empire now gasps on life support and artificial respiration. It must be understood that this is not bad news, but merciful news, both for the American people victimized by The Empire, as well as for the latter’s international victims, the latest obvious case being the Palestinians.
Mossad in America: What Did William Colby Know About the "Hidden Hand"?
With that in mind, as another miserable Presidential election cycle beckons, I have been asked by a myriad number of readers and listeners to provide my take on what ails the American people, applying Bill Colby’s prescription of long ago for understanding causes and prescribing cures.
The cause of the American malady is abundantly clear. Our leadership and institutions have been co-opted by International Central Bankers, Transnational Corporate Interests, and the Israeli Lobby. The result is an economic system deliberately rooted in spiraling debt, extortionist usury, profligate governmental spending, and the perpetually murderous utilization of the American military as a surrogate armed force being deployed abroad by the identified actors for their own economic and political gain at the expense of everyone else. The interest of this evil coalition is the antithesis of that of the average American and his/her family, and that of the population of the planet as a whole. In the case of Americans, the agenda is being falsely but effectively marketed by a news media owned and operated by these clearly enumerated interests, and which will employ the symbols of God, country, family, hearth, home, and community to sell the very policies of a New World Order antithetical to the authentic Kingdom of God, a sovereign nation-state governed by the principles enshrined in the Constitution of the United States, and the underlying value system of those who hold them both dearly. Simultaneously, these policies are ruthlessly devoted to the extermination of those who hold the values of The Old Republic to the breast, and who have failed to understand The Real Enemy and the methodology he effectively employs. Rupert Murdoch and William Kristol are but the tip of this media iceberg.
The unmistakable cause of the American malady must be irrevocably uprooted and destroyed. Identifying the players and their methods of operation is but the beginning of the achievement of the goal, not the endgame itself. Bringing actual and meaningful change to bear in the presently disastrous course is imperative. But how is this achieved in an electoral and political process owned and operated by those who control and manipulate money supply, interest rates, electoral outcomes up-and-down the ballot line, and the dissemination of information via Transnational Corporate Media (TCM)?
If there is any hope for reversal of course, speed, and fortune by peaceful electoral means, it will begin with two (2) components at the outset. First, the pivotal and encouraging displacement of Corporate Media by Alternative Media must continue its increase exponentially, to inform a wider segment of the domestic population of the United States as to the identity of The Real Enemy and the way in which he operates. Responsible usage of alternative media must employ a variety of sources to obtain a kaleidoscope of the larger picture. Michael Collins Piper of Final Judgment, Mark Glenn of The Ugly Truth, Paul Craig Roberts, Paul Sheldon Foote, Ellen Brown, Antiwar.com, E. Michael Jones of Culture Wars, the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, Hassan El-Naijar’s Al Jazeerah.info, Lew Rockwell.com, Michel Chossudovsky’s Global Research.ca, Jon Basil Utley’s Americans Against Bombing, the Institute of Historical Review (IHR), Pravada, Philip Giraldi’s Council for the National Interest, Alison Weir’s If Americans Knew, Max Kaiser, and Iran’s Press TV, are but a great start on the replacement of agitation-propaganda with factual truth and an honest attempt at analysis. The consultation of CNN, the New York Times, the Washington Post, Newsweek, Time, the Wall Street Journal, the Weekly Standard, NewsMax.com, World Net Daily and all the other usual suspects, would only occur as an informed comparison of the honest sources with the latter consortium clearly in the employ of The Beast.
If the Internet-driven Alternative Media explosion produces at least a few additional Americans who can still read and think given the right sources of consultation, all well and good. But this must be followed by even the beginning of some semblance of success at the ballot box, as the second component of hope in both national and global recovery from the tentacles of The Beast.
That can only take place by revolutionary change in the financing of American elections and candidates. Absent the successful political disenfranchisement of Transnational Corporate Elites, International Central Bankers, and the Israeli Lobby by the eradication of the existence of their poisonous PAC money pipeline, ballot box change is impossibly and irrevocably hopeless. This cash flow routinely pours carcinogenic snake oil not only into the two major political parties and the Congressional Districts and Presidential Primaries, but into Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs), media outlets, publishing houses, political consulting firms, and the frontmen of the establishment version of the Christian Right. On this last note, San Antonio-based John Hagee’s reported $150 million dollar operation dedicated to fueling the Zionist cause and the size of his own bank account via Cornerstone Church and Christians United for Israel (CUFI), is only the best illustration of the infiltration of the hearts and minds of millions of deluded innocents by The Beast. These innocents need to begin distinguishing sharks from minnows, and wolves from sheep.
The reformation of the process must be followed by the collective enactment of the right policy prescriptions on a coherent, comprehensive basis. What are these?
Keeping in mind the identification of the core players and actors in the promotion of the metastasis of the already diagnosed cancer and its accompanying symptoms, a renaissance of the Old Republic must be accompanied by the end of Fractional Reserve Banking, the Direct Federal Income Tax, and the existence of the Federal Reserve Board and its control of monetary policy since 1913. Participation in the IMF, World Bank, the Import-Export Bank, and related financial institutions of the Globalist Cabal would also go. The eternal cessation of the employment of the American military in endless foreign wars of intervention unrelated to true national interest is a critical and accompanying ingredient in this resurrection of the Old Republic and the well being of its people. A corollary American withdrawal from NATO would be a part of this particular reassertion of the doctrine of America First, much to the delight of both our own citizens and a global population sick of endless death and destruction devoid of moral justification and context. Globalist trade treaties like NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and FTAA would be tossed overboard. Economic policy would center in the revitalization of the manufacturing sector, not its deliberate euthanization and export. Israel’s control of American foreign policy in Palestine, the Persian Gulf, and Central Asia would be expunged. Israeli domestic involvement in the institutions of the United States ranging from Congressional committees, American intelligence agencies, telecommunication firms, and the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security, to NGOs, the media, and assorted religious charlatans, would be exposed and deep-sixed forever. Unconstitutional use of Executive Orders by Chief Executives would be met with Articles of Impeachment, and the Congressional defunding of military expeditions not sanctioned by Article I, Section 8.
There is only one problem with this picture. Consider the presently moribund state of campaign finance law; the still powerful and insidious role of Corporate Media; the dearth of effective 3rd party options; Congressional corruption; Israeli influence both overt and covert in the American military and intelligence communities; and the demoralizing absence of acceptable Presidential candidates save the possible exception of the GOP’s Ron Paul (R-TX). He most certainly will not be nominated by the Republican Party. If that presumption is proven erroneous, a President-Elect Paul would discover the complete absence of the existence of any support in the Congress and Senate, and the deliberate subversion of his best intentions by the internationalist-oriented institutions that presently prevail. Even worse, the ominous spectre of future False Flag Operations (FFO) is ever-present, ranging from new versions of 9-11 and Pearl Harbor to another Dealey Plaza. The bets of The Beast look eminently covered.
The probability of a False Flag Operation (FFO) increases with the potential of a UN General Assembly vote in September recognizing an independent Palestinian state, the burgeoning impatience of the Israeli Lobby with the perceived reluctance of at least some in Washington for launching preemptive military action against Iran, the reduction of Israel’s influence in the Middle East and Central Asia with the unfolding of the Arab Spring, the continued plummeting of American and international economic fortunes, and the real prospect of a new level of domestic discontent in the United States and Europe turning into either targeted civil disobedience or overt violence. The FFO would serve two (2) distinct purposes; the diversion of millions from the task of identifying the source of their respective countries’ ills is one. The substitution of the targeting of their wrath against the real culprits with that of an illegitimate wholesale assault on a deliberately demonized and falsely identified adversary is the other. These purposes come full circle to reinforce the power of the forces pivotal in the deathgrip of the reign of The Beast.
The Samson Option: The "Ace in the Hole" for the Beast and Counterfeit Israel?
And where the full circle phenomenon is concerned, writer and reader return to the third component of the roadmap of William Colby for problem solvers. The definitive question is posed once more: have the magnitude of the problem and its enshrouding metastasis outstripped the abilities and options of the problem solvers, and the allotted time granted to the latter to solve the issues at hand? Is it too late?
Bill Colby’s demise on the Patuxent River of Maryland in a late night plunge in April of 1996 into the depth of its turbulent, life-ending brew may never be satisfactorily explained. The cause will remain eternally elusive and the source of endless speculation. One thing is not in doubt. It is too late to alter the events which ultimately led to his death, which in turn provided the final punctuation mark on his life and the temporal destiny which accompanied its unfolding end. His fate in this latter regard was irrevocably sealed 15 long years ago. In that respect, it is tempting to see his life and death as an indisputable and striking metaphor of a Final Verdict on the American Empire conclusively reached light years ago.
If historical process and Divine Providence have vetoed the possibility of a return of the Old Republic subsequent to demise of The Empire, denizens of the Real Right have but three (3) uncertain options of dubious value.
The first is a continuation of ineffective and purely symbolic protest within the existing conditions and parameters of a rigged American electoral process. Lack of money, restrictive ballot access laws, and zero access to Corporate Media coverage guarantee failure. The history of the Constitution Party, the Reform Party, the American Independent Party, and the Libertarian Party underscore this inevitable outcome.
The second is a definitive resort to a more aggressive and targeted civil disobedience, and a possible evolution into the overt advocacy and use of violence as an instrument of populist counterrevolution. This option carries its own hazards, including the threat of arrest, incarceration, torture, death, and the strong possibility of ultimate failure second only to the prospects for the first option of symbolic electoral protest within the confines of the charade presented by a political process co-opted by those who clearly own and administer its pre-arranged and guaranteed outcomes. There are two other compelling considerations which argue against this choice. As is the case in many revolutions and counterrevolutions involving violence and loss of life, there is no guarantee regarding who and what would replace the existing system and its power elite. For the Christian, there is the added burden of attempting to reconcile the employment of violence in the attempted achievement of temporal political gain with Christ’s ethical mandates and His conception of the eternal character of the Kingdom of God. This last imperative is decisive in my own rejection of revolutionary violence as both a realistic and moral option for consideration.
Finally, there is the third and final option before the Eschaton. Some on the Real Right have suggested it as a fallback alternative: it involves the short or long-term exile of the disenfranchised American in a quiet life of expatriation abroad. This begs the question of where an acceptable and accessible alternative might exist. It also involves the crossing of an intellectual, emotional, and spiritual Rubicon not possible for many, and a particularly daunting task even for those capable of eventually doing so.
In the case of the latter group, the discovery of a viable alternative is clearly the first task at hand. Is there such a place? What about a meaningful job? Language hurdles? Cultural assimilation? Health care? Low-key religious freedom? The logistics of an overseas move?
Let there be no mistake. For those ready to consider this third alternative, intellectual, spiritual, and psychological acknowledgment of the death of a beloved country is as painful as the identical journey traveled in the passage beyond time of a parent, spouse, loved one, or friend. The acknowledgment and acceptance of the reality of such an event will not paralyze the will. Nor will it poison and pollute the heart, the soul, and the mind. It will focus them in the renewal of galvanizing action, commitment, and reaffirmation of faith. This is only possible within a framework which continues to acknowledge even the possibility of temporal hope yet future, and the potential for its rediscovery in a new venue. This profile will be accompanied by the ability to accept an element of risk, and the vicissitudes of a life ready to meet new challenges and tribulations in the next chapter in time.
There is one final and soundly foolproof recommendation for my readers and listeners. Don’t be canoeing late into the night on the Patuxent River in Maryland. Washing up on shore is not the 4th option. . . .

Rapture Rick Perry of Texas: Israel’s Stealth GOP Presidential Candidate?
Mark Dankof: Perry's Financed Junket to Israel: Financed by the Doheny Global Group and Irwin Katsof's Global Capital Associates. What are the Real Implications?
“Wow! Not even a whiff of a notion of the Presidency, and his lips are already lotioned to kiss ass.”
—Iranian-American Facebook blogger on Governor Rick Perry’s Zionist-inspired impending Presidential run
P. T. Barnum aptly observed that there is a “sucker born every minute.” In the case of the Tea Party activist movement, the birth rate may be one every second. The prospects for the movement, and the country, are identically both abysmal and comedic. Perhaps tragedy is truly the flip side of comedy.
What is presently happening in 2011 in the Republican Presidential sweepstakes can be understood against the backdrop of the 1996 GOP wars. 15 years ago, the International Central Bankers, Neo-Conservatives, anti-Catholic bigots, and the ever present Christian Zionist nutcases were having collective heart failure over the prospect of a Pat Buchanan nomination. For the most part, Buchanan wasn’t rising above 30% of the vote in any given primary (save Michigan after the battle had already been decided), but in the early going those figures packed considerable clout in a multi-candidate field, resulting in a victory in the Louisiana caucus that finished Phil Grimm, and a first-round victory in the kickoff New Hampshire primary. It was clear that Tricky Dick’s ex-speechwriter was terrifying the power brokers.
It became necessary for these brokers to develop a playbook to destroy Pat Buchanan.
The playbook that successfully accomplished this purpose included the following three components: 1) enlisting Israeli-asset Alan Keyes, William Kristol’s roommate at Harvard, to enter the Iowa caucus to divide the conservative vote and ensure Bob Dole’s ensuing victory and subsequent drive to the nomination; and 2) tapping the Christian Coalition’s Ralph Reed as Dole’s liaison to the Religious Right, ensuring the Faithful that Dole was a Pro-Life Evangelical (a crock) and a 10th Amendment man (another crock).
Reed’s enlisted effort for this political fraud was successful, despite the clear voting paper trail of Dole in the U. S. Senate, and the problematically untidy issue of the Senator’s impregnation of a campaign worker while running for President in 1980 against Reagan. Conservative Caucus Chairman Howard Phillips printed the evidence on this latter scandal, compounded in damage potential by the published proof that Dole Chief-of-Staff Craig Fuller had taken the lady to an abortionist in Kansas City named Dr. William Crist. Ralph Reed helped to insure that this information never came to light in Evangelical circles. His service to Dole and the New World Order establishment lurking in the darkness behind the senior Senator from Kansas, went a long way toward the development of the client list and the greenbacks for his current Creative Consultants operation, which has included business with such Godly people as Jack Abramoff.

Climatically, Reed’s slimy presence was augmented in the playbook by the third ingredient in the carefully devised game plan, 3) the entrance of William F. Buckley’s pro-Zionist National Review into the 1996 GOP Presidential foray, employed in a joint effort with the mainstream Time, Newsweek, and U. S. News and World Report magazines, in collectively assailing Pat Buchanan on cue as an anti-Semite whose views were totally outside the mainstream of the Republican Party.
The pivotal importance and critical significance of the William F. Buckley angle to the Israeli Lobby’s assault on Pat Buchanan is given its proper historical context by Dr. E. Michael Jones of Culture Wars, in his April 2007 essay in that publication entitled, “The Death of Conservatism.” The Jones piece is a review of the late Murray Friedman’s magnum opus, “The Neo-Conservative Revolution: Jewish Intellectuals and the Shaping of Public Policy” [Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2005]. There, Jones informs us via Friedman, that National Review was essentially run by the Jews who employed it and financed Bill Buckley, for the express purpose of hijacking the American conservative movement for the “ruling class internationalist establishment” and its accompanying Zionist interests, in the process destroying the careers of prominent spokesmen in the movement not co-opted by the hidden hand. These careers included the late Joe Sobran and Sam Francis, and, of course, Patrick J. Buchanan. Jewish activists like Frank Meyer, Frank Chodorov, Morrie Raskin, Willi Schlamm, and Marvin Liebman were the power behind the emerging William F. Buckley persona on the national political scene, especially Schlamm, who drew up the publication’s financial plan, and Liebman, the guru of subscriber recruitment and financing. Jones notes the specifics of the Marvin Liebman biography for the purpose of contextualizing The Lobby’s unfurling plan of deployment of both Buckley and his flagship magazine over the decades to follow:
“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 [William F.] 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 Liebman 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 Liebman was captured trying to smuggle Jews into Palestine and held in a British detention camp on Cyprus for 15 days. . . .”
Buckley’s National Review thus became the prototype of other front publications and outlets making their appearance on the American Right in the years that followed, including William Kristol’s The Weekly Standard, Christopher Ruddy’s NewsMax, Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News, the Unification Church’s Washington Times, Human Events, and Joseph Farah’s Internet-based World Net Daily. Along with the Israeli-controlled American Religious Right print and broadcasting operations, ranging from the Scofield Reference Bible to John Hagee’s syndicated television show, these opinion makers have enabled the Zionist State and its domestic American power brokers to effectively gain a stranglehold on the promotion of Republican political candidates who reflect Tel Aviv’s interests exclusively, even as Israel’s real record of performance since 1948 is systematically withheld from unsuspecting grassroots American conservatives who vote in Republican primaries.
Pat Buchanan: The Anti-Defamation League Inspired Hit Job of 1996 is Joined by Buckley's National Review
Now fast forward to 2012. It is clear that the only candidate in the GOP Presidential field not totally co-opted by multi-national corporate interests, the New World Order, and the Christian Zionist zealots being used skillfully by the first two constituencies, is Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX/14th Congressional District).
Paul’s strong suits are the ability to raise money, and the role he plays as the sole candidate in the field talking about the dangers of a Federal Reserve-run monetary policy and an interventionist foreign policy. His weaker points involve less strength than desired as a television media candidate, and his advancing age (75). There is another vulnerability, noted in my op-ed of last week: the fact that the Congressman has finessed the eternal question of the Zionist State of Israel, and its accompanying American domestic Jewish lobby, despite the fact that his expressed views on major topics would seem to lead, inexorably, to an inevitable public discussion of this matter in the developing Presidential primary campaign in the Republican Party.
How The Lobby and its Neo-Conservative agents of influence handle the Paul candidacy in the coming months will make for one of the more interesting stories of the 2012 campaign for the American Presidency. With a primary campaign season that is deliberately front-loaded, one may anticipate the early nomination of an internationalist Republican Presidential candidate by Super Tuesday next year and the quick fade of a Ron Paul candidacy that is now in its third cycle since his initial run on the Libertarian ticket in 1988.
But if Paul surprises the pundits and achieves early electoral successes akin to those of Pat Buchanan in 1996, he needs to get ready for an assault similar to that launched on Nixon’s speechwriter 15 years ago. Arguably the Congressman makes a far more difficult target for slander and character assassination than Buchanan did at the hands of Abe Foxman and the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai Brith (ADL), but this fact will not preclude what will come if the Representative of Texas’s 14th Congressional District confounds conventional political wisdom and gets out of the starting gate early as a contender for the Presidential nomination of the GOP. As Iran’s Press TV reports, Ron Paul’s enemies already plan to gerrymander him out of business. The playbook’s gameplan in 2011 will escalate well beyond that beginning venture, if future circumstances dictate. Watch your back, Good Doctor.

This then begs the obvious question. If The Lobby is successful as usual in preempting the candidacy of a candidate who threatens it, who among the bought-and-paid for wannabes in the Republican Presidential Sweepstakes will emerge as The Anointed for the fall of 2012?
Rapture Rick Perry: Tapped by the Ghosts of Marvin Liebman and Willi Schlamm as Likud's Man for the White House?
The answer: Rapture Rick Perry, the Governor of Texas.
Perry’s heightened visibility recently seems to coincide with Netanyahu’s recent Washington trip. It was abundantly obvious to any informed observer that the Israeli PM was sending a clear message to Barack Obama and the Democratic Party that The Lobby had other options if the President’s Middle East policy proved to be less than a total lock for AIPAC and Friends.
And the Texas Governor’s credentials with the Zionist State, bankers, military contractors, and the Christian Right prove absolutely impeccable. Perry’s stop in Los Angeles today to assail Mr. Obama on the latter’s position on abortion is tailor made to appeal to the constituency left panting by Mike Huckabee’s mysterious withdrawal from The Sweepstakes, and the failure thus far of alternatives ranging from Michelle Bachmann to Sarah Palin to catch early fire with the followers of Pastor John Hagee of Cornerstone Church/San Antonio, and the odious Christians United for Israel (CUFI) front.
Is the Fix In? Newsweek joins National Review: Rapture Rick As The Lobby's GOP Anointed?
Those credentials were solidified in a June 2007 junket to Israel, paid for by Irwin Katsof’s Global Capital Associates and the Doheny Global Group which includes Tom Ridge as a Strategic Limited Partner. This trip, and its financiers, provide the Rosetta Stone necessary to decipher the forces behind the sudden media ascendancy of Rick Perry approaching 2012.

And not coincidentally, June 2007 was the same month and year according to Democratic Underground, that Governor Perry was an invited guest of the shadowy international Bilderberg Group. Paul Burka, columnist for Texas Monthly reported then that the Texas Governor was joined by:
“Kathleen Sibelius, governor of Kansas; Kristen Silverberg, Assistant Secretary of State; Ross Wilson, ambassador to Turkey; Paul Wolfowitz, World Bank; Philip Zelikow, ex-”9/11″ Commissioner; Richard Holbrooke, Perseus LLC; Vernon Jordan Jr., Lazard Freres & Co.; Henry Kravis, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR); Henry Kissinger, Kissinger & Associates; Richard Perle, Ex-Defense Policy Board, and several others.”
Burka then went to note that:
“. . . Gov. Rick Perry is headed to Israel to receive the Friend of Zion Award for his ‘leadership in homeland defense, border security, and economic development. . . . Gov. Rick Perry and First Lady Anita Perry today left on a seven-day trip to visit the Middle East nations of Israel and Jordan. In Israel, Gov. Perry will receive the ‘Friend of Zion Award’ from the Global Leadership Council for his leadership in homeland defense, border security and economic development. The award, which is given to ‘leaders who have played key roles in promoting the close alliance between America and the Jewish state,’ will be presented during a ceremony in Jerusalem at the historic Western Wall Square.
“Perry is also scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, former Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and former Prime Minister and newly elected President Shimon Peres. In addition, he will meet with the Israeli Chief Scientist, Dr. Eli Opper, and several representatives of the aeronautics, defense systems, homeland security and biotechnology industries. . . .”
No Man Can Serve Two Masters: Governor Perry's is Israel.
One thing is absolutely sure in Campaign 2012: No one will ask Perry in Corporate Media about his chats with these Israeli intelligence and scientific moguls against the backdrop of the charge recently made by Philip Giraldi on Iranian Press TV that Israel engages in more spying and technology theft against the United States than any other American “ally.” Giraldi is the ex-CIA Station Chief in Turkey, Executive Director of the Council for the National Interest , and columnist for The American Conservative. How much of Israel’s espionage operation targeting the United States may involve Global Capital Associates, the Doheny Global Group, and the Perry-backed Texas-Israel Chamber of Commerce would make for an interesting research project for Mr. Giraldi and his Council.
And as for the American Presidential “debates” promulgated by CNN and Fox News, here are a few suggestions for material to be directed toward the Governor of the Lone Star State when his hat is thrown into the ring:
“Governor Perry, how do you feel about a fiat American currency, a direct Federal income tax, usurious interest rates, endless foreign wars, a morally polluted American culture, an economic globalism which has destroyed the once-vaunted American manufacturing economy, and the imposition of a domestic technological surveillance structure that threatens to replace the freedoms of our beloved Old Republic with a repristinated Stalinism?
“Governor Perry, why is the domestic and foreign policy of the modern American conservative movement and the Republican party being defined by a view of Biblical prophecy unheard of until the 19th century, and largely promoted worldwide by the House of Rothschild’s distribution of the Scofield Reference Bible through its Oxford University Press? Secondly, why are we in an alliance with a nation that has repeatedly committed crimes against the United States, including the Lavon Affair, Mossad involvement in the Kennedy assassination, the premeditated attack on the USS Liberty in June of 1967, the Pollard spy case, participation with Communist China in the theft of American nuclear secrets at Los Alamos through the PROMIS affair, and the more recent Ben Ami Kadish and AIPAC/Rosen/Weissman spy cases?
Even Rapture Rick Perry Has to Cover his Face at John Hagee's Love-In for Israel.
“Governor Perry, given your recent attacks on Barack Obama in Los Angeles over the President’s position on abortion, why are we in an alliance as American conservatives and evangelical Christians with a domestic Jewish lobby which has militantly supported and financed the radical feminist, abortion, and homosexual lobbies most of us are sworn to oppose?
“Governor Perry, why are we, as a pro-life movement, committed to policies of genocide against the Palestinians and the advocacy of the mass murder of Iranians, at the behest of an ‘ally’ which is the chief nuclear, biological, and chemical military power in the Middle East, and a non-signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) signed, however, by Iran?
“And why, Governor Perry, are you here today talking about recovering American Constitutional Principles, in the context of ongoing obeisance to the chief players in a central banking cabal which has handed to us the direct Federal income tax, the Federal Reserve Board, $14 trillion in national debt, and every globalist trade treaty that has destroyed both American sovereignty and our economic vitality?
“Governor Perry, why are you not concerned with Philip Giraldi’s charge that Israeli intelligence is promoting agitation-propaganda through the Rupert Murdoch News Corp chain designed to begin a Third World War? Why are you silent about the charges of our ex-CIA Station Chief in Turkey regarding Israeli infiltration of our intelligence agencies, our Homeland Security Department, our Transportation Safety Administration (TSA), and our telecommunications industry?
“Governor Perry, should AIPAC and John Hagee’s Christians United for Israel be forced to register as agents of a foreign government?
“And Governor Perry, do you support the utilization of nuclear weapons against Iran and its people?”
The American people would await the answers in these upcoming Presidential debates, if only they knew what the real questions of the campaign are. . . .
Does Ron Paul?
