Israeli crimes against humanity have continued with United States collusion. The US is bound by treaty to cut off all military aid to the Israeli terror state for breaching the UN Charter and for violating numerous resolutions to establish its borders.
The true story of this conflict has a categorically different set of headlines than propagandized Americans have previously seen.
Israel Steals Land
Israel Steals Water
Israel Steals Natural Gas
Israel Bombs Civilians
Israel Massacres Thousands
Many More Thousands Maimed
Israeli Propaganda Infiltrates Social Media
Israel Pressure Threatens Journalists
Israel Seeks to Expand Borders Indefinitely
Israel Violates Dozens of UN Resolutions
Et cetera, this is a conflict where one side has a major military surrounding the other side, which subsists in a ghetto. The Israelis learned more than a few tricks out of the World War Two experience. The ghettoization of its opponents, demonization and final solution are always, as they say, “on the table.”
It is not Palestinians surrounding Israel. It is the Israeli military surrounding Palestine.
It is not Palestinians starving Israelis with a military siege. It is Israel starving Gaza, turning it into the world’s largest prison camp.
It is not Palestinians bombing Israelis. It is the Israeli military bombing Palestine.
It is not Palestine stealing Israel. It’s Israelis stealing Palestine.
Most of the world understands these basic facts. Americans are too deluded and propagandized to comprehend international events. Any international events.
The claim that MH17 was hit by a missile originated with the Kiev coup regime, which is the most likely culprit in this atrocity. Forensics have not determined this to be the case so far. It is political propaganda, not facts, that lie behind this assumption.
The skin fragments appear to be shot up by bullets / projectiles.
The Kiev (Nazi) regime has lied about the presence of its SU-25 fighter jet near MH17, as witnessed on Russian radar and by many eyewitnesses. No ground based missile may have been fired at all. No eyewitnesses reported a surface to air vapor trail, which would be visible for many miles and for up to 10 minutes.
Remember also that the Kiev air traffic control ordered the Malaysian plane to fly north 200km of its usual path and straight over the war zone.
The video was published by Israeli journalist Haim Har-Zahav.
The chant also contains the words “I hate all Arabs” and “Gaza is a graveyard,” according to the pro-Palestinian news resource Electronic Intifada.
Palestinian officials say that in total over 1,200 Palestinians have been killed in the fighting, with over 215,000 displaced in Gaza. The Israeli military says it has lost 53 soldiers during Operation Protective Edge.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is a known liar:
The author of the Patriot Act and former chairman of the House Judiciary Committee — Congressman James Sensenbrenner — says that Clapper should be prosecuted for lying to Congress and the American people about NSA spying.
7 members of the House Judiciary Committee (Sensenbrenner, Issa, Franks, Farenthold, Gowdy, Labrador and Poe ) have asked the Department of Justice to investigate Clapper for perjury.
One of the nation’s top military and constitutional law experts — Professor Jonathan Turley —writes:
“National Intelligence Director James Clapper appeared before Congress and lied about the program. He later said that he gave the least untruthful statement he could think of. But it was nevertheless untrue and potentially a crime for which he could be prosecuted.”
Clapper now claims that satellite photos show that Russia fired artillery into Ukraine…
Obama’s entire administration should be impeached and prosecuted for war crimes. They are now dead set on escalating the Ukraine fiasco into war against nuclear-armed Russia. Such insanity needs to be checked, now, before we all pay the price.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes can be viewed on a number of different levels, possibly not all of them present in the minds of its makers. First, it can be viewed as a remarkable achievement in high-tech/special effects movie-making. It is one thing to see Andrew Serkis motion-captured as the chimpanzee leader Caesar, who becomes totally convincing (no masks here) and conversant in at least three languages: Simian sign language, human sign language (apparently), and English. (Being in California he may also speak some Spanish, but we do not have the opportunity to find that out). But it is quite another to see literally a multitude of totally life-like chimpanzees engaged in big-game hunting or swinging through the trees on their way to an engagement with a group of surviving Homo sapiens holed up in downtown San Francisco.
Second, it can be seen as a fairly conventional action-adventure movie, man vs. man-like ape, the latter being originally a lab creation of the former. (By the way, in terms of the story-line, except for a few names and superficial identities, the current “Planet of the Apes” series has nothing to do with the [original 1968 film] directed by Franklin J. Schaffer, with the screenplay by Michael Wilson and Rod Serling, that was based on the 1963 French novel La Planète des Singes by Pierre Boulle, and starred Charlton Heston, Roddy McDowall, Maurice Evans, and the most appealing Kim Hunter, or its then-successors.)
Third, it can be seen as a morality play, with a guess-which-group lives to a higher moral standard theme. Fourth, it can be seen as an essay in paleo-anthropology, which is how I have come to see it.
A group of Simians and a group of Homo sapiens are survivors of a world-wide, highly fatal infectious disease epidemic which the humans conveniently name the “Simian flu.” That it has nothing to do with the Simian population but rather was created in a Homo sapiens lab ([the recent CDC anthrax-smallpox episode], anyone?) is of course a product of the Homo sapiens media naming it the “Simian flu,” but what else is new?
The Simian population consists primarily of chimpanzees with few gorillas and one rather intelligent orangutan thrown in (the latter possibly being a throw-back to the Dr. Zaius character of the original). They lead a hunter-gatherer lifestyle in a communal setting. While they have one acknowledged political leader, Caesar, no one appears to have either a) any control over the hunting-gathering processes or b) any material advantages over anyone else. They also appear to not engage in inter-Simian violence, as a routine. When one episode of that sort occurs, an attack on Caesar, when the latter wins he condemns the perpetrator to death. Before he does so Caesar pronounces the profound words: “You are not an ape.”
The Homo sapiens population is classically Homo sapiens. They have guns aplenty and with few exceptions are ready to use them at a moment’s notice. Violence, against other species and within their own, is commonplace and for the most part fully accepted. This characteristic doesn’t show up in this particular scenario, because there are so few of them left (having somehow acquired immunity to the disease). But they are members of one of the very few species of animal on the planet that slaughters each other in numbers that have grown ever larger in the brief period of time that the species has existed in its so-called “civilized” mode of organization. They are devious, both with each other and with the Simians. Unlike the Simians, the Homo sapiens cannot exist for very long without converting one or more elements that they find in their environment into one or more goods and services. It is the struggle of the Homo sapiens to get to an abandoned dam that lies to the north of where the Simians live so that they can have electrical power that forms the basis of the plot-line. They are about to run out of power as the fuel supply for their generators runs out.
So the fundamental conflict in the movie is between an apparently egalitarian society of hunter-gatherers, which among other things rejects the use of use of intra-species violence, and the classic Homo sapiens society. There is no historical indication that if the latter would somehow manage to survive, it would not eventually revert to its economically hierarchical organization based on intra-species violence. Why? Because [as I have discussed elsewhere], what has happened in Homo sapiens history is that the ownership means of production that converts elements found in the environment into the goods and services that Homo sapiens needs/uses for survival has been in private hands. And it is that mode of ownership that eventually leads to violence within and between societies on a larger and larger scale.
I said in the introduction to this column that the movie could be seen as a parable of the conflict that took place tens of thousands of years ago, between the Homo species that we call “Neanderthal” and our own. [By the way, that name comes from the name of the valley in Germany where the original fossils of that species were found, the Valley (“thal” in German) of the German river “Neander.”)] It will be fascinating to see where the movie series goes with this one. And oh yes, the next sequel is set up at the end of the film.
There will eventually be a sequel to this column as well, dealing with three questions.
A) Apparently Homo sapiens and Neanderthals co-existed for tens of thousands of years. Is there evidence that the former killed off the latter over time, or did the former succeed them, simply through better adaptation to the shared environment over time?
B) Is there a gene or genes for intra-species violence in Homo sapiens that exists in few other species? (If they are to survive, all animal species need to have one or more violence genes directing activities at one or more other species.)
C) If Homo sapiens does have one or more intra-species survival genes is it selected for by the organization of Homo sapien communities around the private ownership of the means of production? A consideration of these questions will not be appearing your local theater any time soon.

Israel desperately covets Gaza’s gas as a ‘cheap stop-gap’ yielding revenues of $6-7 billion a year, writes Nafeez Ahmed. The UK’s BG and the US’s Noble Energy are lined up to do the dirty work – but first Hamas must be ‘uprooted’ from Gaza, and Fatah bullied into cutting off its talks with Russia’s Gazprom.
“The proposal was made in view of Israel’s natural gas shortage following the cessation of gas deliveries from Egypt”, reported the Israeli business daily Globes.
According to Globes, Israel had previously “refrained from ordering development of the Noa field, fearing that this would lead to diplomatic problems vis-à-vis the Palestinian Authority” as the field is “partly under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority in the economic zone of the Gaza Strip.”
“In the end, Israel decided to develop the Noa reservoir without any official agreement.”
