Guest guest Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 CLINTON FRENCH CONNECTIONS TO GEORGE ALLEN LYNCHING The first item below is excerpted from the Hillary Rodham Clinton, Biography which may be found at: http://clinton1.nara.gov/White_House/EOP/First_Lady/html/HILLARY_Bio- plain.html " In the summer of 1994, they (Hillary Rodham Clinton and then President Bill Clinton),traveled to Naples, Italy, again for the G-7 Summit. " Whether it was at that summit, or at some other time, we suspect that Hillary Rodham Clinton may well have met with none other than Anne Lauvergeon. Anne Lauvergeon is listed as number eight in The 100 Most Powerful Women at: http://www.forbes.com/lists/2006/11/06women_Anne-Lauvergeon_YTCZ.html The Delegations of France and the United States are described below: " G-7 Summit Naples , Italy July 8th-10th, 1994 France : François Mitterrand, President of the Republic Alain Juppé, Minister of Foreign Affairs Edmond Alphandéry, Minister of the Economy Anne Lauvergeon, Personal Representative United States : William J. Clinton, President Warren Christopher, Secretary of State Lloyd Bentsen, Secretary of the Treasury Robert Fauver, Personal Representative " at: http://www.g7.utoronto.ca/summit/1994naples/delegation.html We wonder if Anne Lauvergeon and Hillary Rodham Clinton may have met at some function or other of something called the " Young Leaders Program " . The program is described as: " The Young Leaders is the flagship program of the French-American Foundation and continues to be central to the Foundation's success in deepening understanding between France and the United States. The program was created in 1981 in response to observations that the close working relationships between French and American leaders in the post-war period were waning as new, younger leaders rose with little exposure to their transatlantic counterparts. From its inception, the program has taken small groups of carefully selected up-and-coming leaders in government, business, the media, the military and the non-profit sector and provided them the opportunity to spend four days discussing issues of common concern and, most importantly, getting to know each other. The relaxed atmosphere and the off-the-record nature of the conferences have fostered trenchant and open discussions of policy and social issues, and have been very successful in facilitating the development of a new network of transatlantic leaders. The 18 meetings which have been held since 1981 have been attended by 250 influential men and women, many of whom have gone on to positions of significant responsibility. Young Leaders include such prominent American as President Clinton, Senators Bill Bradley and Hillary Clinton, General Wesley Clark, …as well as business leaders… On the French side, past participants include several distinguished business leaders, such as, Anne Lauvergeon (with Areva)…Roundtables are moderated by past participants with relevant expertise. An emphasis is always placed on creating an informal, frank dialogue: discussions are therefore strictly off-the-record. The group stays together throughout the length of the conference,with meals, free time and group activities providing further opportunities to develop personal relationships and networks, and promote cross-cultural understanding....

She leads Areva, a company that is mostly owned by the French government, " source: http://www.scaruffi.com/politics/france.html " Iran Asks France to Oversee Enrichment October 3rd, 2006 By ANGELA CHARLTON Associated Press Writer PARIS A top Iranian nuclear official proposed Tuesday that France create a consortium to enrich uranium in Iran, saying that could satisfy international demands for outside oversight of Tehran `s nuclear program. " To be able to arrive at a solution, we have just had an idea. We propose that France create a consortium for the production in Iran of enriched uranium, " Mohammad Saeedi, deputy chief of Iran `s Atomic Energy Organization, told France-Info radio. " That way France , through the companies Eurodif and Areva, could control in a tangible way our enrichment activities, " he said. Eurodif is a branch of Areva, a French state-controlled nuclear manufacturer, and was created in part with Iranian backing in the 1970s. " ...European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana gave a cautious response to the proposal, saying the idea of a consortium had long been discussed in his talks with Larijani. " It's an interesting thing, but it's difficult to put it in place, " Solana said on the sidelines of an EU defense ministers' meeting in Finland .Iranian state television, in a commentary Tuesday, said the proposal amounted to a " a test ... to assess the extent of the French government's realism and flexibility. " It said timing of the proposal following talks between Larijani and Solana " shows Iran `s determination in seeking a negotiated settlement " over Tehran `s nuclear activities....Iran's participation in Eurodif was reduced after the 1979 revolution, and now Iran has a " purely financial " stake of about 11 percent through a joint French-Iranian company called Sofidif, Hufnagel said. " Excerpted from page 3 of SPIDER'S WEB: THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ by Alan Friedman ASIN: 0553096508 " It was hardly a secret that Saddam was aiming to develop nuclear weapons. He ahd already shelled out $3 billion, purchasing much of the equipment from the french. Indeed Saddam had even given an interview to a Lebanese journalist in 1975 in which he called his dealilngs with France " the first concrete step toward the production of the Arab atomic weapon. " Excerpted from page 4 SPIDER'S WEB: THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ by Alan Friedman ASIN: 0553096508 " Although Saddam had been obtaining most of his arms from the Soviet Union since the early 1970s, the top of the line equipment he really craved was Western. So he had begun cultivating the Europeans, especially the French, and in September 1975 he found himself flying into Paris for a champagne reception offered by Prime Mnister Jacques Chirac. It was not long before France, which saw billions of francs worth of business just over the horizon, began selling Saddam missiles, helicopters, defense electronics, and ultimately the materials and technology he needed to construct a nuclear reactor. So obvious was his intended use of this technology that the French press even allowed itself some grim humor, referring to the Iraqi reactor as " O'Chirac " . After he apporved the Osirak deal and other weapons transactions for Baghdad, he became known in certain French business circles as " Mr.Iraq. " excerpted from page 75 SPIDER'S WEB: THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ by Alan Friedman ASIN: 0553096508 " Allivane did not discriminate between the two combatants in the Iran-Iraq war. Back in 1983, it had signed up as a subcontractor for Luchaire, a French company that was selling the popular 155-mm shell to Iran. The Luchaire sales, based on false end-user certificates, were appproved at cabinet level in Paris and contradicted France's officially stated policy of neutrality. When they became public, they caused a political fracas. " excerpted from page 117 SPIDER'S WEB: THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ by Alan Friedman ASIN: 0553096508 " If Baghdad's nuclear weapons ambitions were acknowledged by London and Washington at the same time they were officially condemmed by them, the same was true of Iraqi chemical weapons development. The Iraqis would frequently order BNL to provide funds to finance a huge petrochemicals complex called PC2, located above seventy kilometers south of Baghdad, near the natural gas feeder lines that came from the southern oil fields. PC2 was to be the pride of the Iraqi military establishment because it had the support of contractors from the United States, Japan, Italy, France and Britain. More significant, as Western intelligence agents knew, although PC2 would manufacture normal petrochemicals upon completion, like many of Saddam's disquised operations, it would be dual-use. This meant it would be able to generate chemical compounds needed to make mustard gas and nerve gas as well. The head of Iraq's chemicals industry, Lieutenant General Amer Hamoudi al Saadi, was proud of PC2. Al Saadi was himself a dual operative-his other job was as head of Saddam's ballistic missile and chemical weapons programs, reporting to Hussein Kamel and his father-in-law, Saddam Hussein.

Some have dismissed the book's premise (a showdown between American- French forces and Cuban-Soviets) as outlandish. To do so is not only to neglect the era this book came out of, but to ignore the lessons about " small " wars, political manipulation of the military and the American public's fickle nature. " Here is Webb writing as very much a Francophile: excerpted from " Fighting Words A former Marine's favorite books on the military. BY JAMES WEBB Saturday, May 27, 2006 12:01 a.m. EDT Mr. Webb, former secretary of the Navy, is the author of eight books, including " Fields of Fire, " a novel about the Vietnam War. He is now a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in Virginia. http://www.opinionjournal.com/weekend/fivebest/?id=110008438 Hell In a Very Small Place " by Bernard Fall (Lippincott, 1966). For anyone who believes that France's Dien Bien Phu operation in Vietnam in 1954 was little more than a blunder, and for anyone who believes that the French were not capable fighters in Vietnam, this comprehensive and often surprising nonfiction account of the siege that brought France to its knees will be a deserved surprise. Bernard Fall, the Frenchman who was the most perceptive observer of Vietnam's shaky march away from French colonialism, wrote several books about Vietnam; he was killed while on a patrol with the U.S. Marines in 1966. This book—his best—shows us the under appreciated complexities of that war, the regional issues that drove many local decisions and the tragic heroism of France's finest fighting forces. http://www.opinionjournal.com/weekend/fivebest/?id=110008438 Given the Webb campaign's history of " alleged " anti-Semitism we were hardly surprised by Webb's choice of another favorite book, this one from the perspective of one of Hitler's soldiers. Here is Webb commenting on another of his favorite books: " The Forgotten Soldier " by Guy Sajer (Harper & Row, 1971). This memoir from the perspective of one who fought on the German side in World War II is probably the most overwhelming book ever written about ground combat. Guy Sajer, an Alsatian drafted into the German army, fought for three years as an infantry soldier, mostly on the Russian front. Germany fielded an army of 12 million soldiers and lost 3.7 million combat dead, a preponderance of those casualties occurring in the mind-boggling, massive engagements with the Soviets. Sajer, who had no politics and little enthusiasm for soldiering, nonetheless demands an understanding of the immensity of this human experience, and is the perfect voice to ask for it. " http://www.opinionjournal.com/weekend/fivebest/?id=110008438 " Francois Mitterrand's political career spanned half a century, and his 14 years as president made him France `s longest serving leader since Napoleon III. Peter Morgan of Independent Television News remembers Mitterrand just after his death. Morgan's report precedes a discussion between Washington Post senior foreign correspondent Jim Hoagland and Charlayne Hunter-Gault. PETER MORGAN, ITN: Francois Mitterrand worked at first for Marshal Petain's pro-Nazi Vichy government. Later, he downplayed his ties with that regime and stressed his work for the Resistance. FRANCOIS MITTERRAND: (speaking through interpreter) I started my political life in the Resistance. It was there that I had my first responsibility. PETER MORGAN: But a recently discovered photograph showing Mitterrand with Marshal Petain suggested a more uncomfortable truth. Mitterrand continued to lead a political double life, cultivating the extreme right and the extreme left to further his career. Soon after the liberation, Mitterrand joined the government as its youngest minister, but when DeGaulle returned to power in 1958, Mitterrand left the government. In political exile, the former conservative discovered Socialism. DeGaulle always ridiculed the conversion. " http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/remember/mitterrand_1- 8b.html " A recent biography revealed Mitterrand flirted with fascism as a young man and was also, for a time, an admirer of the pro-Nazi collaborationist leader Marchal Petain. Mitterrand himself helped the author's research and never disavowed the facts presented in the biography. " http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9601/mitterand/ " Even in death, Mitterrand remains a controversial and contradictory figure. After the Nazi conquest of France , he spent a year working for the collaborationist Vichy government… he defended associates who had aided the persecution of Jews under the Vichy regime. " http://www.amazon.com/Francois-Mitterand-Ronald- Tiersky/dp/0312129084 Bitter Scent : The Case of L'Oreal, Nazis, and The Arab Boycott Michael Bar-Zohar Publisher Information: New York : Dutton. Penguin, 1996. ISBN: 0525940685 " The business of L'Oreal is beauty. It is the world's largest cosmetics firm. " This startling book shows the other face of beauty. It is the story of how this giant company became a haven for ex-Nazis. It reveals the illegal alliance the L'Oreal forged with the Arab Boycott Bureau. And it brings to light the secret link between the L'Oreal high command and the President of France himself, Francois Mitterrand—a link cast in the darkness of the Nazi past. Above all, it tells the story of what happened when L'Oreal partner Jean Frydman, a former French Resistance hero who had fought against anti-Semitism all his life, stumbled upon and exposed the shocking truth about L'Oreal and its web of concealed Nazi collaborators. Making it his crusade to unmask the cosmetics firm's long history of Nazi connections, Frydman filed suit against L'Oreal for forgery, perjury, and racial discrimination. " Though the Nazi movement of the 1930s and 1940s appears to be moribund, vestiges still remain—and in some unlikely places. Official biographer of David Ben-Gurion and novelist, Bar-Zohar documents the very strange truth of how certain top L'Oreal managers collaborated with Hitler and how they conspired to eradicate an existing Arab boycott on their products in the 1990s. The story begins—and ends—with Jean Frydman, a French-Israeli executive running one of the cosmetic giant's subsidiaries. Told to resign for no apparently valid reason, Frydman launched a series of investigations and lawsuits that eventually led to the resignations of high-ranking businessmen. Jacques Correze, the president of L'Oreal's Cosmair in New York City , was part of La Cagoule, a band of Hitler sympathizers; and Andre Bettencourt, a L'Oreal director and friend of French president Mitterrand, was found to have been on the payroll of the propaganda ministry of Nazi Germany. Revelations such as these shocked the world press—and will probably do the same for readers in this well- wrought, fact-filled book. " Library Journal: " Bar-Zohar. a specialist on Jewish-Arab relations, presents another masterpiece (previously published in Israel ) about the corruptions and violations of France `s anti-boycott laws by L'Oreal, a giant French conglomerate, with the `zealous cooperation of the French embassy in Damascus ` and other important French dignitaries. Bar-Zohar relates how L'Oreal yielded to the Arab boycott of Israeli products, which started even before the birth of the state of Israel . He also gives a fascinating look into France `s murky past during World War II, following the complex story of President Francois Mitterand's right-wing connections during his youth, activities as an official of the Petain government at Vichy , and his continued and shadowy ties with top L'Oreal executives. The author also delves into the shadowy past of L'Oreal owner Andre Bettencourt, a cabinet minister, senator, and recipient of the Resistance medal who was on the payroll of the Propaganda Ministry of Nazi Germany. Bar-Zohar's work is richly detailed and clearly argued but not well documented. It is a remarkable work designed for nonspecialists. " Publishers Weekly: " In 1989, Jean Frydman, a director of L'Oreal, the highly profitable Paris-based cosmetics conglomerate, learned he had " resigned " at a board of directors meeting that never actually took place. A hero of the French Resistance, founder of Paravision (a L'Oreal subsidiary), a Jew and a part-time resident of Israel , Frydman suspected that his resignation had been forged to meet the demands of the Arab League, which, at that time, was enforcing an illegal ban in both France and the U.S. on businesses with ties to Israel . He later began to suspect that the instigator of his removal was Jacques Correze, a former Nazi collaborator and convicted war criminal who was head of the company's U.S. operation. The ensuing lawsuits created a scandal in France . As retold by Bar- Zohar, a novelist and a biographer of David Ben-Gurion, L'Oreal was a hotbed of former Nazi sympathizers all too willing to bribe and be pressured by anti-Zionists. It also had friends in high places, Bar- Zohar claims, as high as French President Francois Mitterand.

H. Josef Hebert Associated Press April 11, 2000 WASHINGTON (AP) - Less than two years after the government sold its uranium business, the private company it created to take on the job is mired in financial quicksand. The deal is also jeopardizing a crucial nuclear security agreement with Russia , critics say. USEC Inc.'s (NYSE:USU -news) first 20 months as a private company have been anything but smooth. Its stock has dropped 70 percent, its credit rating is in junk bond territory, and its earnings have nose dived. Amid the financial turmoil, lawmakers and others are questioning the sale. A congressional investigation has been under way for a year, with the first public hearings scheduled this week. While investors have lost millions of dollars, some of the people who pushed hardest for an initial stock offering have profited handsomely. " A number of lobbyists, company insiders and investment bankers made a killing financially, " said Charles Lewis, director of the Center for Public Integrity, a private government watchdog. In all, Wall Street bankers, Washington lawyers and lobbyists – many with close ties to the Clinton administration – earned more than $75 million on the $1.9 billion sale, according to contracts and interviews. Among those talking up the stock offering in 1998 on Capitol Hill and in the White House were Susan Thomases, a New York lawyer and confidante of Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Greg Simon, formerly Vice President Al Gore's domestic policy adviser. The law firm of Skadden Arps, which represented President Clinton in the Paula Jones case, was USEC's lead attorney in the deal. " This from another source: " What Wilson Didn't Say About Africa Joseph Wilson's Silent Partners By Fedora with help from a few FReeper friends Former ambassador Joseph Wilson has been a leading spokesman for critics who accuse President Bush of basing his case for war against Iraq on forged documents purporting that Iraq attempted to buy uranium from Niger. Wilson's charge has been discredited by a Senate investigation,1 but what remains unanswered are questions arising from what is now known about French intelligence's role...The role of France and Wilson in undermining Bush's case for war looks particularly curious in light of disclosures about Saddam Hussein's bribery of foreign political and business figures during the course of the Oil-for-Food program from 1996 to 2003. Saddam's web of graft spun in many directions: among others, to UN officials,Russian and Chinese oil companies, British critics of Tony Blair's Iraq policies, and US critics of President Bush's Iraq policies, as well as France. Near the center of the web was the Banque Nationale de Paris, where Iraq's Oil-for-Food revenues were initially kept until 2001, when they were redistributed among several undisclosed banks approved by Iraq. Meanwhile French oil company TotalFinaElf received Oil-for-Food vouchers and held a contract to develop oil fields in southern Iraq.2 Already in December 2001, Russia had announced it would not support a US attack on Iraq.3 Then shortly after President Bush's January 29, 2002 State of the Union Address named Iraq as a member of a terrorist-sponsoring " Axis of Evil " , France announced on February 22, 2002 that Europe would not support a US attack on Iraq.4 French intelligence soon began a campaign to discredit the US case for war against Iraq. In 1999, French intelligence had begun investigating the security of uranium supplies in Niger, where uranium production was controlled by a consortium led by the French mining company COGEMA, a division of the French state-owned nuclear energy firm AREVA. Wilson, a lifetime Francophile, had spent the bulk of his diplomatic career in former French African colonies like Niger.7 His second wife from 1986 to 1998, Jacqueline, had served the French embassy in Burundi as a " cultural counselor " (a function often used as a cover by French intelligence).8 From Wilson's experience in Niger he was familiar with the Niger uranium industry. Additionally, he had worked in Iraq during the days leading up to the Gulf War. (Intriguingly, on the eve of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait Wilson had dined at the home of an arms dealer who bought weapons for Iraq from France; a Vanity Fair profile on Wilson mentions his wife's presence at this event, but Wilson's book states " I was the only guest. " ).9 Wilson ran his company out of the offices of an investment company called Rock Creek Corporation. Rock Creek was controlled by Mohammed Alamoudi, whom Wilson had met in 1997 at a reception organized for the World Bank by Westar Group. Alamoudi was a member of the Saudi- Ethiopian Alamoudi dynasty, which was heavily invested in the segments of the African economy Wilson was seeking to penetrate. The Alamoudi-affiliated company Delta Services—a Swiss subsidiary of the Saudi company Delta Oil—handled Iraqi oil export contracts in 2000 and 2001 and was revealed in 2003 as a recipient of Iraqi Oil-for- Food vouchers channeled through Abu Abbas, a Palestinian terrorist with Iraqi connections. Delta Services also cooperated with Afghanistan's Taliban regime in a project to build an oil pipeline from Afghanistan to Pakistan, prior to this project's suspension in 1998. In 1999, Alamoudi was accused by USA Today reporter Jack Kelley of heading a bank which was being investigated for financing Al Qaeda. USA Today printed retractions of several details in Kelley's article in 2004, after another member of the Alamoudi family—Abdurahman Alamoudi, a prominent American Muslim lobbyist—was indicted on terror-related charges involving a Libyan-backed conspiracy to assassinate Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Abdullah. Abdurahman was ultimately convicted in October 2004 and sentenced to 23 years in prison.12 Under Mohammed Alamoudi's direction, Rock Creek was chaired by Elias Aburdene, an Arab-American international banking advisor and lobbyist who had previously advised banks linked to organized crime and intelligence community figures involved in the S & L Scam. In 2003 and 2004 Aburdene donated to the Sandhills Political Action Committee, which was affiliated with Senator Chuck Hagel, 13 a leading Republican critic of the Bush administration's Iraq policy.14 While Wilson was pursuing his foreign investment ventures, he also served as a foreign policy advisor to the 2000 Presidential campaign of Al Gore. A company the Gore family had a long-term relationship with, Occidental Petroleum, shared business interests with Alamoudi- affiliated companies in Africa and the Middle East, and employed as Vice President for Middle East business Odeh Aburdene,24 who shared a complex network of relationships with Rock Creek's Elias Aburdene and Joseph Wilson—notably, all three contributed to Arab-American Congressional Caucus leader Nick Rahall,25 who supported Muslim lobbying groups linked to terrorists and opposed military action in Iraq.26 Abdurahman Alamoudi also contributed to Rahall, and sat on the steering committee of Arab Americans for Clinton/Gore `96 along with his associate James Zogby, who later advised Gore's 2000 Presidential campaign.27 Wilson had worked as an aide to Gore from 1985 to 1986 and had developed a friendly relationship with him. Wilson says Gore was the first person outside the State Department to contact him expressing support when he was caught in Iraq in the middle of the diplomatic crisis leading up to the Gulf War. In 1997 Gore recommended Wilson to President Clinton to help him plan a trip to Africa. When Wilson began publicly opposing Bush's Iraq policy in 2002, Gore was still considered a potential candidate in the 2004 election. Gore's speeches were then being sponsored by the antiwar group Moveon.org, which Wilson would support in September 2003 in an attempt to petition Congress against appropriating funds for Iraq operations.28 Moveon.org was financed by billionaire George Soros,29 who had business interests encompassing, among other things, the BTC Pipeline that Mohammed Alamoudi's Delta Oil was helping build.30 Later, after Gore announced in December 2002 that he would not be running in the 2004 campaign,31 Moveon.org began supporting John Kerry's campaign.32 Wilson began advising Kerry's campaign on foreign policy matters around May 2003, several months prior to his public entry into the Niger uranium controversy.33 Another question that might be raised is why Wilson and the CIA's investigation did not explore at least the possibility of the French- led company COGEMA covertly allowing Niger to sell uranium to Iraq. In Wilson's book, while explaining the method that led him to conclude the report of Niger selling uranium to Iraq was false, Wilson explains that he ruled out the possibility of an off-the- books transaction partly because " COGEMA, as the managing partner, would have had to know and be complicit. " 37 This seems to rule out a priori the very thing Wilson was sent to investigate, and in the process, to rule out the possibility of French complicity in arming Saddam Hussein's regime, which seems a hasty exoneration in light of the fact that France had a long history of selling Iraq military equipment and resisting UN sanctions against Iraq.38 It is now known that in fact French companies were helping Iraq skirt UN sanctions.39 " Source: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1256475/posts (The full name for COGEMA in French is Compagnie Generale des Matieres Nucleaires) " The arab American Nick Rahall hates Israel with a passion. He spent the anniversary of September 11th with Saddam Hussein, the man who sent Osama bin Laden to assassinate former President Bush at the White House on September 11th, 2001.

ID=MN05 & cycle=2006 & special=N We thought you might wish to find out a bit more about C.A.I.R. from " Daniel Pipes, a former Reagan administration Middle East aide who now runs the Middle East Forum in Philadelphia and the wonderfully informative Web site DanielPipes.org: Mr. Pipes says: " CAIR is a particularly worrisome organization because it has succeeded in portraying itself as a public affairs organization promoting `interest and understanding among the general public with regards to Islam and Muslims in North America.' In fact, this organization is radical to the core; it seeks nothing less than the imposition of Islamist mores on the United States. " Mr. Pipes notes that CAIR's record includes the following: " Apologizing for such killers as Hamas (a group associated with the murder of 7 Americans) and Usama bin Ladin (charged with the Tanzania and Kenya embassy bombings a year ago). . . . Helping promote terrorism: In the words of Steve Pomerantz, a former Chief of Counter-terrorism for the FBI, `CAIR, its leaders, and its activities, effectively give aid to international terrorist groups.' . . . Intimidation of patriotic Muslims who disagree with CAIR's chauvinist agenda: In one case (Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani), the FBI is looking into charges that he received death threats after renouncing the chauvinists. . . Defense of even the most archaic and barbaric of customs associated with Islam: When a prosecutor in Cleveland argued that the bail of two young men being held for an `honor killing' of their female cousin should be increased, CAIR replied by accusing him of `ethnic and religious stereotyping' and called for a formal investigation into the prosecutor's actions. " In addition, as anti- terrorism expert Steven Emerson has noted in Congressional testimony, CAIR co-sponsored a May 24, 1998, all-day program in the Walt Whitman Auditorium of Brooklyn College in Brooklyn, New York. As Mr. Emerson testified, " In Arabic,Wagdi Ghuniem, a militant Islamic cleric from Egypt, mesmerized his audience, with his relentless tirade against the Jews, reminding them of the Jews' `infidelity,' `stealth' and `deceit.' Known for his folksy deliveries and exhortations to commit violence against the Jews, Ghuniem did not disappoint his crowd, several of whom had come just to hear him. The conflict with the Jews, he said, was not over land but one of religion. `The problem of Palestine is not a problem of belief. suppose the Jews said " Palestine-you [Muslims] can take it. " Would it then be ok? What would we tell them? No! The problem is belief, it is not a problem of land.' " Mr. Emerson continued: " Ghuniem then led his rapt audience, which numbered as many as 500, in a special song, the audience responsively repeating each refrain: `No to the Jews, Descendants of the Apes.' " Says Mr. Pipes: " In short, CAIR represents not the great civilization of Islam but a radical utopian movement originating in the Middle East that seeks to impose its ways on the United States. Americans should consider themselves warned: a new danger exists in their midst. " Relatively speaking, in a manner of speaking, we do not know if James Webb, a.k.a.

The historic name confused many, who believed that NCCJ was an interfaith organization. Therefore the new name is not a change in vision, but rather an affirmation of our abiding commitment to embrace the diversity of our nation. NCCJ is the only national human relations organization that focuses on a broad range of " isms, " the multiple manifestations of discrimination and oppression that are based on one's religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, bias crimes to racial profiling - the challenges ahead are real. To confront and overcome them, NCCJ maintains an abiding commitment to work with decision-makers and leaders to support their work to build an inclusive society. " Now all of these things are of course worthy goals. Medical research is admirable, so is fighting the ills of tobacco, although Webb himself admits to being someone who has chewed tobacco for many years, and certainly fighting discrimination of any sort is a worthy goal. It is the interesting cross connections between the characters involved in the character assassination and overall lynching of Senator Allen that lead us to believe that there are just too many coincidences involved to be pure coincidence.

Dr. Who? No not the British science fiction series time traveler in any of his many incarnations. Doctor Ken Shelton is the man we firmly believe is lying. Of course lies are nothing new to Saddam's Saddemocrats. Recall if you will the 2004 fake Dan Rather memo falsely accusing President Bush on his National Guard record. The Big Lie is nothing new to these people. They are masters of The Big Lie. We think Shelton is falsely accusing Virginia Republican US Senator George Allen. We believe that what Shelton is saying is absolutely untrue. " During a deer hunt with Allen in the early 1970s " Shelton lied, " Allen asked whether black families lived in the area before stuffing a female deer's head into the mail box of a black household. " George insisted on taking the severed head, and I was a little shocked by that, " Shelton lied. " This was just after the movie `The Godfather' came out with the severed horse's head in the bed, " Shelton lied to the AP. Doug Jones, who said he roomed with Shelton at Virginia, said in a statement that he never saw or heard anything from Allen that supports Shelton `s claims. " I never heard George Allen use any racially disparaging word nor did I ever witness or hear about him acting in a racially insensitive manner, " Jones said. " Please pay particular attention to the following item in the article below in which Senator Warner is comparing the invitation to the 50th birthday party for Larry Sabato to Marlon Brando's " offer you can't refuse " . Surely that line must have stuck with Larry Sabato. Larry Sabato must have remembered that line. " U.S. Senator John Warner, R-Va., compared the invitation to Marlon Brando's " offer you can't refuse. " In case you are not a fan of The Godfather, which starred Marlon Brando Senator Warner's 2002 reference was to Marlon Brando's character Don Vito Corleone, The Godfather, " Don Vito's line, " I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse " was voted as the second most memorable line in cinema history in a 2005 poll " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Godfather The reference is to a character being pressured by The Godfather to use a film star favored by The Godfather waking up to find the severed head of a horse in his bed. item immediately below is excerpted from the Wednesday, October 23rd, 2002 issue of a publication called THE CAVALIER DAILY " Life Birthday Bashing Politicians, professors and students gather to celebrate Larry J. Sabato's 50th birthday and raise money for the Center for Politics… Katie Sullivan , Cavalier Daily Associate Editor … Clearly, these people could only have gathered for one reason—to celebrate Politics Prof. Larry J. Sabato's 50th birthday. Virginia politicians, political analysts, journalists and University students and alumni gathered Monday night in the Richmond Marriot to wish Sabato a happy birthday... a few prominent Virginia politicians humorously chose to light something else on fire—Sabato's reputation. The celebration, called the " Sabato Five-O, " took the form of a roast a la Comedy Central. The event also served as a fundraiser for The University of Virginia Center for Politics, of which Sabato serves as director. The Center for Politics, located on Old Ivy Road …After the crowd made its way into the dining room, former Virginia Gov. L. Douglas Wilder introduced himself as emcee of the night's festivities, and proceeded to introduce a video, much like those shown at bachelor parties. The video started out with photos of Sabato's youth, then moved to doctored photographs including Sabato as Elvis and an onlooker in the fateful photograph of former President Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. …The program then gave six of Virginia `s most powerful politicians the opportunity to poke fun at a man who, as he himself claimed, has predicted defeat for every one of them…. Virginia Attorney General Jerry Kilgore spoke about Sabato's ability to state the obvious and make it sound profound, then joked about Sabato's abundance of media exposure. " He spends so much time in front of the camera lights, " Kilgore said, " that when he opens his fridge at night he speaks for three minutes. " … U.S. Senator George Allen, R-Va., cited a need to keep Sabato off their backs. " There are places we'd rather be, " Allen said. " But we didn't want to cross the good professor. " U.S. Senator John Warner, R-Va., compared the invitation to Marlon Brando's " offer you can't refuse. " …Allen mentioned budgets cuts facing the University as well, and, indicating Warner, said, " If he cuts your budget next year, Larry, put it in your file as something mean a Democrat did to you. " Allen, who attended the University as an undergraduate with Sabato, remembered Sabato's beginnings as a student who wanted to fight the power of special interest groups. " Then I see this gathering, " Allen said. " You make Hillary Clinton look like a pike. " Other commentary centered on Sabato's role as a professor... Politics Prof. Larry J. Sabato covers his face in embarassment as U.S. Senator George Allen teases Sabato about his excessive on- camera time.

" source: http://www.areva- bp.com/scripts/us/publigen/content/templates/show.asp? PS0 & L=US & SYNC=Y You may have heard of George Beam, currently Senior Vice President of Nuclear Services for AREVA NP Inc., recently Writing about the imaginary deer hunt, which was really a hunt that never happened DALE EISMAN, wrote in The Virginian-Pilot on September 28, 2006 about one " George Beam, now an executive at a nuclear engineering firm based in Lynchburg,(Virginia). " Beam, wrote Eisman: " was not part of the hunting party. " Which is of course true because there was no hunt and no hunting party to begin with. Eisman writes that Beam " told the Associated Press that one of the hunters, his now-deceased roommate, Bill Lanahan, described the incident to him later over a beer. " Billy Lanahan told me they cut the head off a deer and stuffed it in a mailbox. He didn't say whose idea it was, and he didn't say, at least not in my presence, anything about a black family or a black neighborhood, " In our opinion Beam lied to the AP. Eisman's article continued: " Allen insisted Monday that " The deer head story is... pure fabrication, absolutely false. " The senator and several of his former classmates also have denied allegations that he routinely used the " n " word to refer to blacks. Beam did not return several calls Wednesday from The Virginian- Pilot...Dick Wadhams, Allen's campaign manager, insisted Wednesday that there is no evidence to support Shelton `s claim and called Shelton and Beam " sad and pathetic " for bringing Lanahan, who died earlier this year, into the dispute. " The incident did not occur. This gentleman is just piling on to a false story, " he said of Beam, adding later that " I have no idea why he would do it. " (The fabricated " hunt " allegedly) the article being quoted continues: " took place on land owned by Lanahan's family in Louisa County , east of Charlottesville. Maj. Donald Lowe of the Louisa Sheriff's Department said Wednesday that a search this week of department records failed to produce any evidence of a complaint concerning a deer's head....Lowe said the sheriff's department also has interviewed several deputies from the early 1970s as well as with black community leaders at the time.

Here is Beam being quoted on August 2, 2006 AREVA wins contract for replacement reactor vessel head project at Diablo Canyon power plant...AREVA, through its subsidiary AREVA NP, has received a contract from Pacific Gas & Electric Company for two replacement reactor vessel heads at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant Units One and Two. " The replacement Reactor Vessel Closure Head (RVCH) project is particularly exciting because we are working with AREVA to fabricate RVCHs in the United States for the first time in many years. " " A replacement reactor vessel head with a state-of-the- art integrated head assembly is one of the best economic options for a commercial nuclear utility to choose in today's cost and safety conscious environment to ensure continued operational safety as well as guarantee shorter outage durations and less cumulative personnel dose in the future. AREVA looks forward to working with PG & E to provide clean, safe, cost effective nuclear power for years to come " said George Beam, Senior Vice President of AREVA NP Inc. " The axis of evil certainly figures into this story. Whether it is Iran, Iraq or North Korea. " Reprocessing is the chemical separation of the spent fuel into its three parts—plutonium, uranium, and highly radioactive reactor waste. Several countries have the capability to reprocess North Korea's spent fuel, but only two—the United Kingdom and France —have companies that offer commercial reprocessing services.\3 These companies also have direct experience in reprocessing magnox fuel— the type of fuel used in North Korea `s 5-MW(e) reactor.\4 Two companies provide commercial reprocessing services—British Nuclear Fuels plc. (BNFL) of the United Kingdom and Cogema of France—and both have expressed interest in reprocessing North Korea's spent fuel.\5 If either of these companies is selected to do the reprocessing, under normal circumstances, the repackaged spent fuel would be picked up, transported to the company's reprocessing facility, and placed in interim storage until it is reprocessed. Neither company would normally take title to the spent fuel or the products of reprocessing so, unless other arrangements are made, the separated materials would be stored for up to 5 years and, eventually, returned to the country of origin. The specific terms of the commercial arrangement would be defined in a contract between the parties. According to BNFL, other matters—such as ownership and liability for the fuel after its removal—would be defined in letters between the governments. According to BNFL, reprocessing North Korea `s spent fuel would result in approximately 25 kilograms of plutonium, 50,000 kilograms of uranium, and 160 liters (one canister) of high-level waste. If the spent fuel is reprocessed, the separated plutonium and uranium would be purified and converted into stable compounds that can be safely stored until final disposal.\6 The separated uranium and plutonium could be used as fuel for a nuclear power reactor. If not used as fuel, the plutonium would be disposed of in an underground radioactive waste repository, and the uranium would be stored for its economic value and potential use. The radioactive waste would be mixed with melted glass and poured into a steel canister to harden—a process called vitrification—and eventually disposed of in an underground repository.\7 BNFL representatives estimated that it would cost between $50 million to $100 million to transport and reprocess North Korea `s spent fuel, treat the waste, and store the resulting products for up to 5 years.\8 In addition to the cost of reprocessing, costs would also be incurred for the final disposal of the plutonium and the one canister of radioactive waste in an underground repository. We could not determine the costs of disposing of these materials because, among other factors, the disposal location and the cost of preparing the materials for disposal are not known.\9 " http://www.fas.org/spp/starwars/gao/nsiad97165.htm We firmly believe Senator Allen's denial of the deer head story. How it was fabricated. Who fabricated it, remains to be seen.

" Angry Hillary threw book at Secret Service agent First lady hit her limo driver in back for allegedly `eavesdropping' on chat June 7, 2003 By Paul Sperry WorldNetDaily.com WASHINGTON – In a fit of rage, former first lady Hillary Clinton threw a book at a Secret Service agent, hitting him in the back as he was driving her here in a limousine during the 1996 campaign, former Secret Service officers and agents tell WorldNetDaily. She accused the plainclothes agent of " eavesdropping " on her conversation with another passenger in the back seat of the limo, the agents say. The missile she hurled was a painful message for him to mind his own business. Hillary Rodham Clinton " The book hit him in the back, and it wasn't lobbed – she was angry, " said a retired uniformed Secret Service officer familiar with the incident. " She was under the impression that he was eavesdropping on her conversation, " he added. " Here he's the driver, but he was eavesdropping? I don't know how you get around that. " He said there was no center divider in her vehicle. " It was in a limo, " he said. " There's no separation in hers, not the one she was in. " The veteran officer, who helped coordinate security in advance of President Clinton's trips, says the book was in the back of the limo. " It was something that she was carrying. " Cadillac limousine used by first lady in 1995. He said both Clintons viewed Secret Service personnel as " Republican spies, " since many of them worked in the previous Republican administrations. And they were " very skeptical of us. " Another retired Secret Service veteran, a plainclothes agent assigned to Clinton's security detail, corroborated the book- throwing account. " Yeah, it's true, " he said, without elaborating. Though retired from the service, both White House veterans have found jobs in the Homeland Security Department, and they asked that their names be withheld. Attempts to reach the driver assigned to Hillary's protective detail, also retired from the service and working in another federal agency, were unsuccessful. A Washington Metro Police detective also recalled hearing of the incident at the time, adding that the former first lady " was pretty sh—ty to the Secret Service guys. " Phone calls to Clinton's office were not returned. The New York senator is on a book tour. The Secret Service officer who did presidential advance said she often spoke in " unacceptable language to officers and to agents. " He said the lack of respect stemmed in large part from an overriding suspicion allegedly held by the Clintons that agents doubled as Republican plants, relaying dirt to the first couple's political enemies. Cutting security posts " When they came into office, because the Republicans were in for so long, they thought everybody in the Secret Service was a Republican spy, " said the Secret Service veteran, who calls himself an Independent. Soon after they took over the White House, the Clintons had agents removed from sensitive areas and permanently eliminated their posts, he says. " They requested specific posts be removed so that agents in the uniformed division were out of earshot of the conversations, " he said. " For instance, inside the mansion itself, I know of at least two [posts] that were relocated, " the former agent added. " One was relocated away from the residence; one was relocated away from the Oval Office. " He said Secret Service brass told agents to keep an " arm's distance, " as much as they could, from the Clintons. " Even on details, they wanted us where we weren't visible, " he said. " We were all spies, all spies. I mean, it was a big joke, " he said. " We were giving each other secret names, like `Agent X, it's time for you to be relieved from your post for right now,' as if we were Soviet agents or something. " ... Her alleged book-throwing tantrum does not fit the cool and controlled demeanor the freshman senator conveys in public. But early in the Clinton administration, Newsweek reported that Hillary had thrown a lamp at the president in a fit of anger.

" UNHOLY BABLYON The Secret History of Saddam's War by Adel Darwish and Gregory Alexander ISBN 0-312-06530-2 Excerpted from Page 138 " France had begun supplying Iraq with arms in 1967 and continued until early 1990, by which time it had overtaken China as Baghdad `s second-largest supplier after the Soviet Union . The inventory of items supplied during thirteen years is lengthy. In addition to Mystere and Mirage fighters, it includes Alouette, Gazelle, Puma and Super Frelon helicopters supplied by Aerospatiale; HOT and Milan anti-tank missiles and Exocet AM-39 and MM -40 anti-ship missiles from Euromissile; as well as AMX -10-P mechanized combat vehicles and AMX-30 main battle tanks supplied by GIAT. Other French companies who have supplied weapons and equipment to Baghdad include Panhard, Thompson-Brandt, Matra, Thomson CSF, Lucaire, COFRAS, Raclet, Matra Manurhin Defense and Lacroix. " Excerpted from Page 139 " In 1980, shortly after declaring war on Iran , the Iraqis had turned to France in desperation after Baghdad itself was subjected to air raids. Saddam Hussein had been advised, byl former generals of the deposed Shah's imperial army, that the Iranians were desperately short of trained pilots and that those who had previously served the Shah would, if permitted to fly, take off and not return to Iran . In fact, this was totally incorrect and it was a grave miscalculation on Saddam Hussein's part to allow himself to be convinced by such ill-founded beliefs. Not only did the Iraqis fail to knock out the Iranian air force but the Iranian pilots, putting duty before Ideology, also carried the war into the Iraqi heartlands. Baghdad , which is only four minutes' flying time from the border with Iran , was subjected to a series of well-planned air attacks which exposed the inadequacy of the Iraqi air defences. The Iraqis immediately placed orders with the French for considerable amounts of air defence systems and eighty Mirage fighters. " " The French arms industry had always enjoyed a full measure of support from its government, the latter's attitude apparently being that arms exports are in the interest of national security and that they enable France to afford to manufacture its own arsenal. " " There is no doubt that France considered Iraq an important client deserving preferential treatment. There is evidence that the French intelligence services tolerated several `irregularities' by the Iraqi Mukhabarat on their own soil in order to keep the path smooth for lucrative arms deals. In 1979 Barzan Takriti, Saddam Hussein's half-brother and the head of the Mukhabarat , commissioned his deputy, Sabaawi Ibramhim, to oversee the creation of a new network in Europe . This consisted in part of companies owned by Iraqi residents in France which acted as fronts for both covert procurement tasks and intelligence operations. Sabaawi Ibrahim in turn sent Sadd Saleh Al-Jabouri, a Mukhabarat officer, to Paris as the chief of a new bureau housed at the Iraqi Airways office in the French capital. Part of his brief was to mastermind the hunting down and elimination of opponents of Saddam Hussein's regime… " " Al-Jabouri was subsequently joined by two other Iraqis-Kadhem Al-Rabie and Nizar Hamdoun, the former an Iraqi businessman who subsequently used his connections to set up a `front' company and was successful in striking a number of important arms deals in France . " Excerpted from Page 140 " In 1967 France `s stock in the arab world had gone up following General de Gaulle's decision to stop supplying arms to Israel … " Excerpted from Pages 141-142 " During the first half of the 1980s, French assistance to Iraq also extended to the loan of aircraft and personnel for use in the conflict against Iran . On 26th, May 1983 a secret agreement was signed by President Francious Mitterand, covering the supply on lease of five Super Etendard aircraft. In February of that year there had been reports in the French media that the government was planning to sell the aircraft, complete with Exocet missiles, to Iraq , but the Defence Minister at that time, Charles Hernu, denied the report. However at the beginning of June, Hernu signed an agreement with the manufacturers of the aircraft Dassault and Snecma. Subsequently, Iraqi pilots and technicians underwent fourteen weeks of intensive training at an airbase at Cuers. " " On the morning of 7 October 1983 five Super Etendards left the Brittany base of Landivisiau, staging at Corsica before eventually making a rendezvous with the aircraft carrier Clemenceau in the Mediterranean . During the following week, the aircraft were repainted in Iraqi colours whilst checks were carried out to ensure that the pilots removed all identifying insignia from their personal equipment and that they were not carrying any incriminating documentation. The aircraft were then flown to Iraq . " " A detachment of thirty French military personnel, including seven pilots and several technicians from Dassault, Snecma, Aerospatiale and Matra, were based in Iraq to provide training and logistical support. It was subsequently reported buy not confirmed that the pilots also participated in missions…. The Super Etendards and their Exocet missiles proved a decisive factor in the outcome of the (Iran-Iraq) war (in the Persian Gulf ). The five aircraft enabled Iraq to intensify what was known as the `tanker war', which achieved wider political objectives for the Iraqis…It was a French-supplied Exocet which in 1987 crippled the American frigate USS Stark, causing the US navy's rules of engagement to be changed an ultimately resulting in America's direct involvement in the (Iran-Iraq War in the Persian Gulf ). " " In May 1989, it was revealed that France was negotiating with Iraq for the supply of fifty Dassault Mirage 2000 and fifty Alpha Jet trainer ground attack aircraft. It was, however, France and not Iraq which had sought the deal. In efforts intensified during 1989, Defence Minister Jean-Pierre Chevenment's visit to the four Gulf states also included Iraq . The Iraqis were impressed by the performance of the Mirage 2000 at the Dubai Air Show on 20th January 1989, when two Aircraft flew all the way from France , stopping once in Egypt and refueling in mid-air several times en route. " " Dassault, one of the jewels in the French arms industry's crown, had supplied the Iraqis with aircraft since 1976, when it sold them thirty-two Mirage F1EQ and foru F1BQ. A second order for twenty- eight F1Eq-4 and three F1BQ was placed in the same year and all these aircraft were delivered between 1983 and 1985. A third order for twenty Mirage F1EQ-5, equipped to carry Exocet missiles, was placed in 1981 and these were delivered between 1983 and 1985. At the same time, a further eighteen F1EQ-6 and six F1BQ were ordered, delivery being planned to take place at intervals between 1987 and 1989. " Excerpted from Page 143 " In December 1989, a high-level delegation headed by Jacques Mitterand, the president's brothers, visited Baghdad to discuss closer cooperation on aerospace and other projects. It included in its ranks representatives of several French companies. During their stay, which included a visit to the Saad-16 missile development complex near Mosul , meetings took palce with the Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister, Sadoun Hammadi, Minster of Industry and Military Industrialisation General Hussein Kamal Al-Majid, Transport and Communications Minsiter Mohammad Hamza Al Zubiadi, and Oil Minister Issam Abdul Rahmim al-Chalabi. " " In February 1990, Jean-Pierre Chevenement paid a further visit to Baghdad , where he met Saddam Hussein. " Below is excerpted from the List of Participants at THE TRILATERAL COMMISSION 2002 ANNUAL MEETING - Ritz Carlton Hotel , Washington , D.C. - April 5-8, 2002 Colin Powell,David Rockefeller, Madelaine Albright, Zbigniew Brzezinski, Anne Lauvergeon,Kenneth Lay, " The following is excerpted from: " Islamist Nukes: The French Connection Lowell Ponte, FrontPageMag.com Tuesday, March 7, 2006 " No civilian nuclear program can explain the Iranian nuclear program. It is a clandestine Iranian military nuclear program, " But what of that other nation that poses a serious risk of deliberately or inadvertently providing nuclear weapons to Islamo- fascist terrorists? This other nation was willing to give atomic weapons potential to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. This other nation that may beget a world of atom-wielding Ayatollahs is France itself. At least three paths could lead to the French arming Islamists with nuclear weapons. The first path to this doomsday nightmare came to public attention in June 1981, when Israeli warplanes destroyed a nuclear reactor 18 miles south of Baghdad . This Osirak reactor was being built by the French for Saddam Hussein, who had already used nerve gas on his own people and on Iranians. Hussein had already described himself as the reincarnation of the ancient Babylonian king and mass murderer Nebuchadnezzer II who destroyed Jerusalem around 586 BCE. Had Israel not carried out this preemptive act of Assertive Disarmament weeks before the reactor became operational, Hussein could have fabricated nuclear weapons from this reactor's radioactive output by the time he invaded neighboring Kuwait in August 1990. The threat that Hussein could then unleash radioactive devastation on nearby Iranian and Saudi Arabian oil facilities might have made him too dangerous to attack.... France is among the world's leading sellers of nuclear reactors and reprocessors and sellers of radioactive reactor fuel. Days after President George W. Bush struck a nuclear power deal last week between the U.S. and India , for example, a high member of France `s National Assembly on Sunday quietly dropped the news to Reuters that France has agreed to help develop a " peaceful " nuclear power program for oil-rich Libya `s dictator and longtime terrorism backer Col. Mohammar Qaddafi. Amid the controversies over whether Saddam Hussein attempted to procure radioactive material in Africa, few bothered to note that the country at the center of this discussion is a former French colony, Niger . One of the biggest uranium mine owners and dealers in processed uranium in Niger is COGEMA, historically 82 percent owned by the French Atomic Energy Commission and now a subsidiary of the French- controlled French-German consortium Areva, a major worldwide nuclear reactor manufacturer and seller.... But, as nuclear scholar Henry Sokolski reported in 2004, " the French firm Areva, " like its international reactor-marketing competitors, has been " so eager to sell China nuclear-power plants that they and their governments are turning a blind eye to…a Chinese deal to sell Islamabad (Pakistan) a large reactor. " Pakistan, the one Islamic nation that already has atomic weapons, has refused to sign the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). Pakistan `s chief atomic weapons scientist secretly provided nuclear materials and nuclear bomb-making information to other Muslim states, but after brief imprisonment for this crime he was recently set free by his government. The French government not only approved selling its Osirak reactor and ample radioactive fuel to Saddam Hussein but also threatened to use its veto as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council to prevent Hussein's overthrow. It later came to light that several of French President Jacques Chirac's closest political allies were being given millions of dollars worth of oil certificates by Hussein under the United Nations Oil-for-Food program that controlled Iraqi oil sales. Was there also a secret deal with Hussein involving COGEMA, Areva, the French Government and Niger ? Can a French Government that was willing to put nuclear weapons ingredients into the hands of Saddam Hussein be trusted to keep such materials out of the hands of oil-rich Islamist fanatics? Is France again willing to sell doomsday weapon capability if the price is right?...(If the world were sane, of course, France would have forfeited its nuclear weapons and materials after the Osirak reactor it was building was destroyed. France has shown that it lacks both the morality and maturity to be trusted with these dangerous tools the U.S. and Britain gave it – along with a permanent seat on the Security Council – following the French complicity with Hitler during World War II.)... (During World War II the German-aligned Vichy government in France used its national railroad to transport 76,000 French Jews to their doom in Nazi death camps. Virulent anti- Semitism is one of the ideologies many French share with their former Nazi overlords and Islamofascists. French treachery has not been limited to its Arab citizens.)...

" This from another source, dated:4/27/2006 " The Wilson, Rockefeller, & McCarthy Ties Filed under: General— Robert Farrow by Curt Very interesting stuff going on in the Mary McCarthy files. It appears many of us missed a few important connections: One aspect of her background so far comparatively unexamined is her West African uranium connection. She served in a key government position concerned with West African nations producing yellowcake uranium at the same time that Joseph Wilson was working in the area. The two may be considered members of the " yellowcake community " within the Clinton national security apparatus of the 1990s. There are more questions than answers for the moment, but yellowcake uranium is not only of strategic importance for WMD purposes, it is also a highly profitable commodity traded under UN supervision and restrictions, a set of circumstances known to produce extraordinary opportunities for both profit and corruption, as in Oil-for-Food. These comparatively still waters may run deep. Investigators equipped with both subpoena power and security clearance may be called for. Mary McCarthy held positions in both African and Latin American analysis desks at Langley while Wilson was U.S. Ambassador to the Gabonese Republic from 1992 to 1995. Gabon was a producer of yellowcake uranium. Wilson `s powerful position in Gabon from 1992 to 1995 raises questions about his official trip to Niger to discredit President Bush's claim that Iraq had sought quantities of uranium from Africa . During his time in Gabon , Wilson must have been deeply knowledgeable about uranium production and trade there, and must have been familiar with officials of the French energy giant COGEMA, now consolidated into the French Areva Group, a firm closely involved with the French government which appoints members of its board. Joe Wilson has his own French connection. So, who better to send to Africa to dig up dirt to refute intelligence findings of both the US and Great Britain concerning the Iraq-Africa yellowcake trade? The article then goes into great detail about the loophole the UN instituted to allow: certain nuclear materials to be maintained and traded even by countries known to be covertly developing a nuclear capability or who supported terrorist groups…. Speaking of dealing in commodities, this whole affair brings us back to square one and Mary McCarthy. One of her previous employers was Beri, SA. Possibly by coincidence Beri provides a Mineral Extraction Risk Assessment service for up to 145 countries that are expected to show rapid growth in oil, gas, and mineral extraction capacity. If one had advance access to economic intelligence and had fostered close business ties over the years with uranium producers, huge financial gains would be possible…. Macranger, the former intelligence official, believes he knows what is coming next: I can't tire of telling you how important it is that Mary Loose Lips has been brought down. More than just a random `discovery' - she is the key to the lock. Guys at the agency and the DOJ knew exactly where to target - and they hit it dead on. In the coming days you will see why Senator Rockefeller HAD to make such an emergency visit to Syria in 2002. For a little tip, read here. The " here " he is referring to is a Italian article that points out Rockefeller's business dealings with none other, Cogema…. Cogema runs the Niger uranium trade. Getting a little fishy in here as AJ Strata notices: the Italian story mentions Senator Jay Rockefeller and his unique efforts against the invasion of Iraq . Among them is mention of " the relationship of the Senate American " . The story links the UN Oil For Food program and the Uranium trade (which I showed was possible in previous posts). Then the story talks about a connection: " the French of the Cogema are in transactions with the magnates of the oil, comprised the group Rockefeller American. " Wow. COGEMA is the French company… that runs the Niger mines and monitors the uranium. Now I understand what Mac Ranger meant by this comment: In the coming days you will see why Senator Rockefeller HAD to make such an emergency visit to Syria in 2002. I had not made the connection until now that Wilson and Rockefeller both raced to the region in 2002! Maybe the heads up Rockefeller was giving Bathaast Bashir (and therefore Baathist Hussein) was not just about the pending war. The timing is right. Wilson went to Niger in February 2002, Rockefeller went to Syria in January 2002. So far Mac has been dead on in his predictions. This one is going to be a doozy. McCarthy now appears to be a little fish in a BIG pond whose scum layer is getting quite thick.

" " Allen, Webb spar in final TV debate By LARRY O'DELL, Associated Press Writers October 2006 RICHMOND, Va. (AP)Throughout the debate, Webb looked tense, his eyes riveted on his off-camera questioners or on Allen. His answers were detailed, sometimes to the point of wonkishness; his delivery sometimes halting. Allen, a veteran of numerous TV debates in his long political career, appeared relaxed, his eyes connecting comfortably with the camera, even as he offered up refrains he has used for years and made a practice of opening his response with attacks on Webb. At least three times, Allen took pains to link Webb, a former Republican, with Democrats Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, the Democrats' 2004 presidential nominee. " the following item is excerpted from: More Than Sex: The Secrets of Bill and Hillary Clinton Revealed by Arkansas State Trooper NewsMax.com September 14, 1999 Washington - An Arkansas State Trooper who once guarded Bill Clinton has revealed startling new information about Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Trooper Larry Patterson, a recently retired 32-year veteran of the state police, had been the most senior member of the elite Governor's Security Detail during the period Bill Clinton served as Governor. During that time, Patterson became privy to Bill and Hillary Clinton's most closely guarded secrets. Patterson told his story exclusively to NewsMax.com and Internet Vortex. NewsMax.com has published More than Sex: The Secrets of Bill and Hillary Clinton Revealed — a two-hour audio cassette tape of Christopher Ruddy's interview with Trooper Larry Patterson. In More than Sex Patterson makes bombshell revelations, some of which have never been disclosed before: Organized Crime. The press has ignored reporting of this critical issue, but Patterson says Clinton had a close relationship with the head of the Dixie Mafia—Arkansas' homegrown organized crime family that has grown in recent years through drug trafficking. Patterson said Clinton regularly received gifts from the reputed mob boss. Ethnic Slurs about Jews. Both Hillary and Bill Clinton frequently used slurs during heated arguments with each other, Patterson said. Among the epithets they frequently hurled at each other were anti-Semitic slurs such as `mother f---in' Jew' or `Jew bastard'. Patterson said such references were heard frequently during the years he served the Clintons. Patterson said Clinton loved telling ethnic jokes and frequently told jokes that were anti- Semitic. The use of the " N " word. Patterson said Bill Clinton would use the word " nigger " — the " N " word — when he was angry with African-American opponents. He recalls the use of the word in describing a black, Arkansas activist who was critical of Clinton. Patterson said Clinton also used the " N " word during the 1992 campaign Hitler and Mein Kampf. Bill Clinton, Patterson said, spoke admiringly of Hitler and was fascinated by his book Mein Kampf. source: http://www.newsmax.com/articles/?a=1999/9/13/220611 " Jerusalem, November 10, 1999 Fooling the Jews WOMEN IN GREEN, among whose members there are many voters from New York who have dual citizenship, will protest against the visit of Hillary Clinton. We will be outside the Tel Aviv Museum, Shaul HaMelech Boulevard and Weizman Street in Tel Aviv, at 19:15 to voice our opposition to this " new " and dubious friend of Israel. Hillary Clinton is one smart lady. She wants to be President. Therefore, she will say anything to any particular Group that will lend itself to obtaining that set objective. She strategically chose the upcoming Senatorial race in New York as the first stepping stone towards reaching her presidential goal. However, New York has an important Jewish vote and that is a hurdle that she must leap over and " handle " . The difficulty for Hillary is that she has never been a friend of Israel. She has publicly come out for a Palestinian State, which as a sophisticated and smart lady she knows would threaten Israel's very existence. She very well knows that hatred of Jews and Israel even now is an essential part of Arafat's educational system; moreover, Arafat's hate propaganda in his Media includes praise of the bomb makers who specialize in blowing up Israel's buses. Yet she has never leveled one word of criticism against Arafat in that or any other regard, or for that matter against any Arab. Her Arab guest list at the White House has included American Arab leaders who are sympathetic to and support terrorist Hamas. She could find nothing about Israel to publicly admire throughout the many years that she has been in the White House. But to garner the Jewish vote in New York she has to appear to tone down her bias in favor of the Arabs, and make some Jewish " gestures " . She now lets out of the family closet the inconsequential news that her grandmother's second husband was a Jew. And of course for these New York voters, she is making the proscribed visit to Israel. After all these years she suddenly awakened to recognize the status of Jerusalem; she recently told the Jews that Jerusalem is Israel's eternal capital; however, she is not in favor of moving the U.S. Embassy to that capital. In that she is consistent with her husband who broke his previous campaign promise to move it. Her track record insures that she too will not keep whatever promises she makes to the Jews in order to get into the Senate. If elected, she would be the most pro-Arab Senator New York has ever had. Unmasked, Hillary Clinton has proven herself again and again to have little sympathy and understanding for Israel and the Jewish People. Don't be fooled by the Jewish " appointees " of her husband. Albright, Berger and the like are Jews in name only, who lack loyalty to the Jewish People. Nor should you be " taken in " by her deceptive sweet talk. Hillary's visit to Israel is just part and parcel of her New York campaign.

Webb 1 May 1987 - 23 Feb 1988 source: http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq37-1.htm Former Navy Secretary Virginia US Senate Candidate James Webb has been a long time opponent of the liberation of Iraq. When he was Secretary of the Navy he urged that the US attack Saddam's enemy Iran. While we support the liberation of both Iraq and Iran, it is clear that the US tilt towards Iraq and against Iran in the Iran- Iraq war helped to set Iran on its current anti-American path. That tilt was a major mistake. Webb's role in that tilt as Secretary of the Navy during part of the Iran-Iraq war is examined briefly here. Hopefully those who are naive enough to think of former Navy Secretary Webb as a peacemaker will have their eyes opened by this brief look at some of his history. Excerpted from Pages 39-40 of SPIDER'S WEB: THE SECRET HISTORY OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ by Alan Friedman ASIN: 0553096508 " In January 1987, as the " (Iran-Iraq) " war entered its seventh year and the combined death toll neared one million people, Iran began yet another major offensive. This time it pushed deep into Iraqi territory. Saddam Hussein needed help-but he also required reassurance from Washington about its intentions, since revelations in the Iran-Contra scandal were now detailing the U.S. covert military aid that had been going to his enemy, Iran. From Baghdad's point of view, Washington was either ambivalent or duplicitous. Thanks to the rival pro-Iraq and pro-Iran factions inside the government, the United States had indeed sent out very confusing signals. Nonetheless, the secret shipments to Iran paled when compared with the support given Saddam, and William Casey led the drive to placate Iraq. He had already met with Tariq Aziz at the United Nations to make sure Iraq was happy with the flow of intelligence it was receiving, and he encouraged Aziz to go ahead with more attacks on Iranian economic targets. Then netural ships in the Persian Gulf began coming under attack from both Iran and Iraq. Those of oil-rich Kuwait were of particular concern to the administration. Kuwaiti leaders wanted their oil tankers protected by either Moscow of Washington, and in March 1987 top U.S. officials including Caspar Weinberger, George Schultz aand Admiral William Crowe, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, decided to defend Kuwaiti vessels that were navigating the Gulf. Two months later, on May 17th, pro-Iraqi officials such as Weinberger suffered an instant case of political whiplash when a U.S. frigate, the Stark, was attacked by an Iraqi warplane and thirty-seven Americans on board were killed….The Stark incident underscored the increasingly risky state of affairs in the Gulf, and it was followed by a formal announcement from President Reagan that the United States would reflag Kuwaiti oil tankers so that the U.S. Navy could escort them.

The explosion of the first missile caused extensive structural damage and flooding. Combustion of the burning propellant of both missiles immediately caused intense fires to build throughout the ship.

Additionally, the ship's damage control and fire fighting inventory did not include many of the important fire fighting and life saving equipment that ordinary fire fighters ashore use every day.

Iraq has excellent relations with the anti-Western Yemeni Islamists of the Army of Aden-Abyan, whose militants have been arrested by the Yemenite authorities in connection with the attack. Such an attack required long preparations, technical and military skills and good operational intelligence. In addition, the explosive used in the attack was sophisticated, a " shaped charge " like a torpedo or a missile, a device not in use by terrorist organizations, and which may have come from a military stockpile.

As his reputation for leadership and integrity grew, he had additional service opportunities and experience in legislative issues as the President of the West Virginia Sheriffs' Association, then on the Ethics Committee of The National Sheriffs' Association. He was later pegged by The United States Attorneys Office to be the area representative on The United States Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council, and he serves on The Advisory Committee of The National Task Force on Community Preparedness and Response. Wolfe sites Rahall's weak positions on Terrorism, Homeland Security and Immigration Reform among the reasons for law enforcement's vote for Wolfe. Rahall has consistently voted against anti-terrorism efforts and any efforts to strengthen our borders, and was most recently one of only 8 congressmen to vote against House Resolution 921 denouncing terrorism and supporting Israel's right to defend itself, following his anti-Israel record. Rahall voted against The Patriot Act, against the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, and has been mentioned in the national media as a controversial figure. According to The Charleston Daily Mail, Federal Election Commission reports, and various news reports, Rahall " received a campaign contribution from a known radical terrorist supporter, Abdurahman Alamoudi. " Alamoudi staged a protest at the White House in which he publicly pledged his allegiance to Hezbollah and Hamas.

QUESTIONABLE SITUATION INVOLVING MR. RAHALL'S SISTER'S JOB AS A " LOBBYIST " FOR QATAR… (Pasted directly from The Los Angeles Times) Sister lobbies Rahall Congressman's sibling works as consultant for Qatar Los Angeles Times Thursday June 17, 2004 WASHINGTON—Like many sisters, Tanya Rahall talks to her brother often. But unlike most sisters, she gets paid handsomely to do it. Rahall makes $15,000 a month lobbying Congress for the tiny Arab country of Qatar. And the person she frequently lobbies is Rep. Nick J. Rahall II, D-W.Va., her older brother and one of Qatar's biggest champions in Washington. Qatar paid her for helping him craft a resolution praising the country " for years of Democratic reform, " even though it remained a monarchy without organized political opposition. She recruited members of Congress for a pro-Qatar caucus that he leads and accompanied him and other members on a visit to Doha, Qatar. The Rahalls are the latest example of a growing, unregulated practice in Washington: paying relatives of helpful members of Congress as lobbyists and consultants. There are no rules specifically barring members of Congress from acting on behalf of relatives' clients. Indeed, limits on speaking fees and campaign donations have made hiring family one of the few unregulated ways in which special interests can ingratiate themselves with lawmakers. Rep. Rahall's official congressional biography does not mention his work on Arab issues. Instead it focuses on what he has done for West Virginia: protecting coal mining as the ranking Democrat on the Committee on Resources and bringing large amounts of federal highway money to the state as the second senior Democrat on the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. But Rahall, 55, is also the most senior of five Arab American representatives and is an advocate for Arab countries in a Congress dominated by pro-Israel members. In 1993, he was the lone House member of Congress to vote against a resolution calling for an end to an Arab boycott of Israel. He spent years pressing the State Department to end a ban on travel to Lebanon, where his grandfathers were born. He got his wish in 1997. In 2001, he was one of 11 members of Congress to vote against a resolution insisting the Palestinian Authority take steps to end a terrorist campaign—...He flew to Iraq in 2002 to meet with a top aide to Saddam Hussein ... and voted against going to war. And he traveled to Syria to meet with President Bashar Assad in 2003, and voted against increasing sanctions based on allegations that the country was a state sponsor of terrorism. Rep. Rahall traveled to Qatar in 1997 and in 2000. According to his congressional disclosure reports, the first trip was paid for by a foundation associated with the National Association of Arab Americans and the second by the Islamic Institute, a group also known as the Islamic Free Market Institute Foundation. In 2001, Rahall was invited by the Islamic Institute to be one of the opening speakers at its first Conference on Democracy and Free Trade, held in Qatar. 7.

Jim Webb and Jim Moran stood on the same podium at the 2006 Jefferson Jackson Day Dinner in Alexandria, Virginia. " Moran steps down from leadership post Lawmaker under fire for saying Jews push war with Iraq Friday, March 14, 2003 WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Harshly criticized for saying pressure from the Jewish community was driving the push toward a possible war against Iraq, Rep. James Moran stepped down Friday as a House Democratic regional whip. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California issued a statement indicating she left Moran, D-Virginia, with little choice but to give up his leadership post. " I have taken this action because Congressman Moran's irresponsible remarks were a serious mistake, " Pelosi said in a statement. " As I said earlier this week, his comments were not only inappropriate, they were offensive and have no place in the Democratic Party. " Moran has been under fire since March 3, when he said at an antiwar forum that Jewish leaders were pushing a war with Iraq. " If it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq, we would not be doing this, " he said at the forum in Reston, Virginia. " The leaders of the Jewish community are influential enough that they could change the direction of where this is going and I think they should. " The comments drew condemnation from the White House, Jewish leaders, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.... On Wednesday, a number of Jewish House Democrats urged Moran not to seek re-election in the wake of his comments. In Virginia, several local Democrats have already expressed interest in challenging Moran for re-election. The leader of the Jewish Community Council of Washington said Moran should consider resigning. Moran, 57, has said he will not give up his seat.... The Anti-Defamation League was also among those that condemned Moran's comments. " This is one voice in the chorus spreading a new lie, the age-old anti-Semitic canard that when our country faces danger, Jews are responsible, " it said. " As we move closer to an invasion with Iraq, the drumbeat of `blame the Jews'—meaning Jews in the administration, the `Jewish lobby' and the Jewish community—is intensifying and multiplying. " Congressman Moran's remarks are symptomatic of a more serious problem—that in times of crisis and anxiety, Jews continue to be a convenient and tempting option for scapegoating.

George Allen, R-Va., is accusing challenger Jim Webb of anti-Semitism for spotlighting Allen's newly acknowledged Jewish ancestry on Democratic blogs. " There is a common thread that is running through the Webb campaign, " Allen campaign manager Dick Wadhams said yesterday. " It has a clear anti-Semitic overtone to it. " Webb's press secretary, Kristian Denny dismissed the claim as " slash-and-burn campaign tactics " and a bid to " make George Allen a sympathetic figure by rallying his base against the big, bad media. " The Allen broadside followed the latest complication for his re- election effort: confirming he is part Jewish after angrily ducking a question on his heritage during a debate Monday with Webb. Allen said his maternal grandfather, an Italian jailed in Tunisia by the Nazis, was Jewish. Allen said he learned of his grandfather's religion, in part, after recent discussions with his mother. Allen's mother, Henrietta, " Etty " Allen, told The Washington Post yesterday that she concealed her upbringing as a Jew in North Africa from her children until late August when Allen asked her directly about his Jewish heritage. She said that she and the senator's father, former Redskins coach George Allen, had wanted to protect their children from living with the fear that she had experienced during World War II. Allen's mother, who is 83, said she asked her son not to tell his siblings and his wife. " The fact this is such an issue justifies my actions, and my behavior, " she told the Post. In addition to posts on Democratic blogs focusing on Allen's lineage, Wadhams cited Webb's use of a controversial handbill during the primary campaign as evidence of anti-Semitism. " Anti-Semitic themes run through the Webb campaign, " Wadhams said. " I distinctly make that assertion and that charge. " During the Democratic primary, Webb was criticized for a flier featuring a cartoon likeness of his Jewish opponent, Harris Miller, with a large nose and cash spilling from his pockets. Last night, the Allen campaign issued a statement in which two Jewish Republicans U.S. Rep. Eric I. Cantor of Virginia and U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota—attacked Webb. " Appeals to bigotry fail in Virginia, because Virginians look to a person's integrity and character, " said Cantor. " Jim Webb is failing this test for integrity. " Coleman said, " Former Naval Secretary Webb's campaign is sailing in dirty and dangerous waters when it plays the religious card. The voters of Virginia should sink this vessel and wash away any effort to question Senator Allen's faith or heritage. " Wadhams referred to posts on Democratic blog sites that address Allen's Jewish ancestry, … On several blogs, some friendly to Webb, posts chided Allen for his fierce reply to the question by a Washington television station. Others poked fun at the senator or raised questions about his forthrightness. Some Republican blogs carried posts defending Allen and critical of those who questioned his lineage….

Matthews opened Hardball with an extended segment featuring Patricia Waring, who in 1978 was apparently the wife of the coach of the University of Virginia rugby club team. She claims that, attending one game, she overheard George Allen telling a story in which he repeatedly used the n-word. She says she confronted him about it, asking him not to use the word. Waring acknowledged that she is a registered Democrat and party volunteer. After the Waring interview, Matthews pored over the implications for Allen's political prospects with guests Howard Fineman of Newsweek, Matthew Continetti of the Weekly Standard, MSNBC analyst Craig Crawford and Mike Allen of Time magazine. At the same time, a Washington Post story that Rush Limbaugh discussed today [that only managed to make it into WaPo's `B' section, in contrast with the front-page treatment the Post accorded the Allen allegations] contains some shocking assertions. Dan Cragg describes himself as " a longtime friend of Webb's who worked for him when he was assistant secretary of defense under President Ronald Reagan. " He told the Post that in addition to hearing Webb use the n- word in his presence, Webb told him that when he was a student at USC in Los Angeles : " [Webb and friends] would hop into their cars, and would go down to Watts with these buddies of his, " Cragg said Webb told him. " They would take the rifles down there. They would call them [epithets], point the rifles at them, pull the triggers and then drive off laughing. One night, some guys caught them and beat . . . them. And that was the end of that.

By James Joyner Senate candidate James H. Webb, President Reagan's former Navy secretary, was criticized by his Jewish opponent Friday over a campaign flier that depicted the opponent with a hooked nose and cash spilling from his pockets. The flier was intended for distribution among labor groups. It was titled " Miller the Job Killer, " referring to Webb's opponent for the Democratic nomination in Tuesday's primary, businessman Harris Miller. The flier, drawn in comic-book cartoon style, depicts Miller with a grotesquely hooked nose and cash overflowing from his suit pockets as he orders an underling to find ways to export U.S. jobs overseas. The flier refers to Miller as the " anti-Christ of outsourcing. " Miller called it " despicable.

AMA Massachusetts Chair Tahir Ali said afterwards, " We are attempting to send an important message to all AMA chapters: we must support all who have [Muslim] interests at heart, regardless of what part of the country they are running in. " EMERSON'S TESTIMONY According to Steve Emerson, a well-known investigative journalist specializing in militant Islamic organizations, the AMA's leaders " have sanctioned terrorism, published anti-Semitic statements, and repeatedly hosted conferences that were forums for denunciations of Jews and exhortations to wage jihad. " Faced with pressure on the matter, Mrs. Clinton announced on Oct. 25th that she was returning the $50,000 in campaign contributions raised for her by the AMA. She failed to give a credible explanation as to why it took her more than four months from June 13th until October 25th until she saw it necessary to return the money. Mr. Emerson, in a recent Wall Street Journal article, noted: " As first lady, Mrs. Clinton began in 1996 an outreach program to Muslim leaders in the U.S. With America's Muslim population at some six million and growing, an effort to include the community's leaders in the mainstream of American politics is unquestionably a worthy undertaking. But curiously, nearly all of the leaders with whom Mrs. Clinton elected to meet came from Islamic fundamentalist organizations. A review of the statements, publications and conferences of the groups Mrs. Clinton embraced shows unambiguously that they have long advocated or justified violence. By meeting with these groups, the first lady lent them legitimacy as " mainstream " and " moderate " . " But this should not be unexpected, considering Mrs. Clinton's past radical affiliations. During the 1980's, ultra-liberal lawyer Hillary Rodham-Clinton served on the board of the New World Foundation, which funneled money to the Palestine Liberation Organization, at a time when the PLO was officially recognized by the United States as a terrorist organization. Similarly, in February 1996, Hillary hosted a reception at the White House for leaders of Hamas-supporting groups such as the American Muslim Council and the Council on American-Islamic Relations. And in January, 1998, Hillary hosted another White House reception honoring Muslim leaders and the Muslim Public Affairs Council who defended militant Islamic fundamentalism and also supported radical Islamic groups. THE REAL HILLARY This, then, is the real Hillary Rodham-Clinton. An ambitious woman willing to utter any banal cliche on behalf of " Israel's security " to placate unaware New York Jewish voters, but one whose pre-Senate race record on Israel is appalling. It's a record of supporting the terrorist PLO, even before the 1993 signing of the first Oslo Agreement on the White House lawn, of ignoring blatant calumny heaped on Israel by Suha Arafat, of supporting the creation of a Palestinian PLO State, of hosting and legitimizing extremist Islamic groups in the United States. Most recently, it included taking campaign contributions from these very same evil, anti-Semitic organizations - until being caught with her hand in the extremist Islamic cookie jar. This is the very same Hillary Rodham-Clinton who now claims to be Israel's friend.

The Global Anti- Semitism Review Act, authored by Senator George Voinovich (R-OH) and introduced by Sens. Voinovich, Joseph Biden (D-DE), George Allen (R- VA), and Gordon Smith (R-OR), requires the State Department to provide a country-by-country report on anti-Semitic acts and harassment and the governmental response. The report would also include information on governmental efforts to promote tolerance and anti-bias education. " The Senate has taken an important step to strengthen US efforts to combat the rise of anti-Semitism around the globe, " said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director and author of Never Again? The Threat of the New Anti-Semitism (Harper San Francisco, 2003). " In order to fight anti-Semitism, we must have an accurate assessment of the scope and nature of the problem in varying regions. So many countries lack a formal mechanism to channel information about the problem or to register complaints. While this new report is in no way a substitute for data collection by individual states, until appropriate monitoring systems can be put in place, American leadership in spotlighting the problem will continue to play a vital role. Mr. Foxman, who just returned from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Conference on Anti-Semitism in Berlin, where he was a Public Advisor to the U.S. Delegation added, " passing this bill indicates the United States' continued commitment to spotlighting the problem of anti-Semitism around the world and is an example of the kind of proactive measures a government can take to fight global anti-Semitism.

Freedom of religion, where people's rights are not enhanced or diminished on account of their religious beliefs. Thomas Jefferson was the author of that. As we try to stand up a free and just society, that's the first pillar of a free and just society. And to be getting into what religion my mother is, I don't think it's relevant, whatever one person believes, whatever their beliefs may be, is not relevant. So I'd like to ask you, why is that relevant? My religion, Jim's religion, or the religion beliefs of anyone out there. (applause) My mother's French-Italian— Fox: Honesty.

But let's ask questions about issues that really matter to people here, in Virginia, such as how we're going to bring this country together, make us more secure, a land of opportunity. And I'll tell you one other thing, preserve our foundational values, and one of those values is freedom of religion and not making aspersions about people because of their religious beliefs. " For those who think that " IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE " It just did. Here is Webb being quoted about Syria, the nation from which and through which most of the terrorists who are murdering Americans and coalition forces and innocent Iraqis right now come from,in 2006: " On the current situation in the Middle East, Webb said he believes the U.S. must befriend Syria and try to use that country as an ally… " And if under President Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vice President James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb, or President Webb should something happen to Presdient Hillary Rodham Clinton the U.S. befriends Syria and tries to use Syria as an ally what country or countries will Syria be used as an ally against? Against Israel? Syria is no friend of Israel. So if under President Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vice President James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb America becomes the friend of Syria and the Syria is the enemy of Israel does America become the enemy of Israel? Does America nuke Israel? Does America round up American Jews and open extermination camps? In America can a sitting US Senator be asked whether he has Jewish ancestry? Think it can't happen here? It just did in Virginia! IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE by Sinclair Lewis Sinclair Lewis, the first American to receive the Nobel Prize For Literature, wrote this satirical political novel in 1935, a time when the United States and Western Europe had been in a depression for six years. In this novel, Sinclair Lewis asks the question – what if some ambitious politician would use the 1936 presidential election to make himself dictator by promising quick, easy solutions to the depression - just as Hitler had done in Germany in 1933. Item immediately below is excerpted from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Can't_Happen_Here It Can't Happen Here is a satirical political novel by Sinclair Lewis published in 1935. It features newspaperman Doremus Jessup struggling against the fascist regime of President Berzelius " Buzz " Windrip, who was modeled either on the flamboyantly dictatorial Huey Long of Louisiana, or on Gerald B. Winrod, whose views earned him the nickname " The Jayhawk Nazi " . It serves as a warning that political movements akin to Nazism can come to power in countries such as the United States It Can't Happen Here is thought to have inspired both Philip K. Dick's SF novel The Man in the High Castle George Allen's Jewish Heritage Confirmed http://politics.wizbangblog.com/2006/09/20/george-allens-jewish- heritage-confirmed.php In a statement on AllenHQ and in an interview with The Jewish Daily Forward, Senator George Allen addresses the ethnicity of his parents. Yesterday, I found it especially reprehensible that a reporter would impugn the attitudes of my mother, as Ms. Peggy Fox did in her first question at the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce Senate debate. My mother and father both taught me to abhor bigotry, and Ms. Fox's suggestion to the contrary was deeply offensive. " " The notion peddled by the Webb campaign that I am somehow embarrassed by my heritage is equally offensive, and also absurd. " " I was raised as a Christian and my mother was raised as a Christian. And I embrace and take great pride in every aspect of my diverse heritage, including my Lumbroso family line's Jewish heritage, which I learned about from a recent magazine article and my mother confirmed. " " On several occasions through the years, I have mentioned publicly that my mother's father was incarcerated by the Nazis. I have never known whether he was persecuted by the Nazis because of his nationality, his religious faith, his role as a community leader, or his part in the anti-Nazi resistance. What I do know is that my grandfather's imprisonment by the Nazis had a profound impact on my mother. It was a subject she found painful to discuss and so we almost never discussed it. " " Some may find it odd that I have not probed deeply into the details of my family history, but it's a fact. We in the Allen household were simply taught that what matters is a person's character, integrity, effort, and performance - not race, gender, ethnicity or religion. And so whenever we would ask my mother through the years about our family background on her side, the answer always was, `Who cares about that?' " " My mother has lived a long and full life, and I hope and pray she will enjoy many more years. She deserves respect and she also deserves privacy, especially where painful memories are concerned. I sincerely hope that simple decency will be respected. " In case you missed the NAZI STYLE ACHTUNG JUDEN! (ATTENTION JEWS!) so called " question " , here it is: " It has been reported, " said Fox, that " your grandfather Felix, whom you were given your middle name for, was Jewish. Could you please tell us whether your forebears include Jews and, if so, at which point Jewish identity might have ended? " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
