A VOTE FOR ROMNEY IS A VOTE FOR AN UNCONSCIONABLE LIAR

Conservative priests and ministers are running around America advising their Christian flock to vote for Romney (or subtly insinuating as much), using the old "lesser of two evils" line of malarkey.

• A vote for Romney is a vote for more useless foreign wars that will bleed and bankrupt America.

• A vote for Romney is a vote for a respectable-looking, family-values spouting whore who will say or do anything to get elected President of the United States.

If you vote for Romney, remember that you have been warned. 

If he is elected, you will bear responsibility for his wars, the police state those wars will engender here at home, and treacherous deceiving of the American people on the model of George W. Bush.


Romney Versus the Automakers
New York Times, Nov. 1, 2012

When General Motors tells a presidential campaign that it is engaging in “cynical campaign politics at its worst,” that’s a pretty good signal that the campaign has crossed a red line and ought to pull back. Not Mitt Romney’s campaign. Having broadcast an outrageously deceitful ad attacking the auto bailout, the campaign ignored the howls from carmakers and came back with more.

Mr. Romney apparently plans to end his race as he began it: playing lowest-common-denominator politics, saying anything necessary to achieve power and blithely deceiving voters desperate for clarity and truth.

This started months ago when he realized that his very public 2008 stance against the successful and wildly popular government bailout of G.M. and Chrysler was hurting him in the valuable states of Ohio and Michigan. In February, he wrote an essay for The Detroit News calling the bailout “crony capitalism on a grand scale” because unions benefited and insisting that Detroit would have been better off to refuse federal money. (This ignores the well-documented reality that there was no other cash available to the carmakers.)

When that tactic didn’t work, he began insisting at the debates that his plan for Detroit wasn’t really that different from President Obama’s. (Except for the niggling detail of the $80 billion federal investment.)

That was quickly discredited, so Mr. Romney began telling rallies last week that Chrysler was considering moving its production to China. Chrysler loudly denounced it as “fantasies,” saying it was only considering increasing production in China for sale in China, without moving a single American job.

“I feel obliged to unambiguously restate our position: Jeep production will not be moved from the United States to China,” Chrysler’s chief executive, Sergio Marchionne, said in a statement. “Jeep assembly lines will remain in operation in the United States and will constitute the backbone of the brand. It is inaccurate to suggest anything different.” In fact, 1,100 new jobs will be added in Toledo to produce a new generation of Jeep.

The Romney campaign ignored the company, following up with an instantly notorious ad saying President Obama “sold Chrysler to Italians who are going to build Jeeps in China.” If the false implication wasn’t clear enough, the campaign put out a radio ad on Tuesday saying “Barack Obama says he saved the auto industry. But for who? Ohio or China?” What happened, the ad asks, “to the promises made to autoworkers in Toledo and throughout Ohio?”

What happened was that those promises were kept. Nearly 1.5 million people are working as a direct result of the bailout. Ohio’s unemployment rate is well below the national average. G.M.’s American sales continue to increase, and Chrysler said this week that its third-quarter net income rose 80 percent. These companies haven’t just bounced back from the bottom; they are accelerating.

What Mr. Romney cannot admit is that all this is a direct result of the government investment he would have rejected. It’s bad enough to be wrong on the policy. It takes an especially dishonest candidate to simply turn up the volume on a lie and keep repeating it.

By doing that in a flailing, last-minute grab for Ohio, Mr. Romney is providing a grim preview of what kind of president he would be.

USURY BOOK UPDATE WEEK OF SEPT. 17

I am mostly consumed with finishing my book on usury. There is so much fascinating and undiscovered documents and material that I can't overlook them. I might as well make the book's documentation as strong as it posibly can be.

Today I found a passage from a twelfth century Catholic bishop who advised the lay people to "take up arms" against those who charge interest on money! I wonder what that bishop would have said about the "Christian-Republican" state of Idaho, where the legal rate of usury on a loan is 400%?

I am sustained, thus far in this book project, by donations received from approximately twelve wonderful people. Their donations are not for printing the book -- that will be have to be charged on credit (we have non-usurious credit with the printer), and then paid for by sales of the book in advance of its publication.

Current donations are keeping me going while I am writing - providing gas money for me to travel to university libraries, paying my household bills and offsetting the cost of hundreds of dollars in  books and primary materials I have purchased since August. Thanks to everyone who can help. (If you can't send something, please pray for the success of this project).

HOLOCAUST AMNESIA

The 30th anniversary of the Sabra and Chatila massacre in Lebanon has passed with hardly any notice. Several hundred Palestinians were butchered by Israeli proxies in Lebanon on Sept. 16, 1982. Throughout July and August of that year, the Israeli air force, under the command of Ariel Sharon, carpet-bombed clearly marked civilian centers in the city of Beirut, including nursing homes, hospitals and apartment blocks. In August of 1982 the attacks escalated to terror bombing of downtown Beirut in a true holocaust (death by fire).

The Israelis commit war crimes and atrocities with impunity. They know that after the initial editorial outrage, their mass murder will never form part of a permanent collective ritual of commemoration similar to the eternal remembrance and teaching of the Nazi persecution of Judaic people under the rubric "the Holocaust."

No one can comprehend or fully account for this Zionist mentality of callous indifference toward the murder victims of the Israeli military without being conversant with Talmudic culture and ethics; at the heart of which is the concept of Judaic racial and spiritual superiority. That is the reason why the conscience-on-its-sleeve liberal media turns its back on the remembrance of the slaughter of the Arabs by the Israelis.

On the 30th anniversary of the Sabra and Chatila massacre the New York Times printed, with regard to the visit to Lebanon by Pope Benedict XVI, "Lebanon is still rebuilding from a devastating 1975-1990 civil war fought largely on sectarian lines..." (16 Sept. 2012, p. A14 print edition only; online edition has been bowdlerized).

"Civil war"? Was it the Lebanese who bombed Beirut from jets throughout the summer of 1982? Actually it was Sharon's aerial terrorists, but that fact is forgotten and covered up. The NY Times implies the Lebanese did it to themselves. How perverse.

Notice that the reference to "rebuiding" Lebanon is limited to destruction perpetrated during the years 1975-1990. No mention is made of the massive destruction Israeli bombs, rockets, missiles and artillery fire visited upon Lebanon in the summer of 2006 in the course of which hundreds of Arab children were killed and thousands of homes and businesses were destroyed.

Just before the Israelis withdrew in 2006 they dropped tens of thousands of land mines all over the Lebanese countryside to guarantee years of crippling and maiming injuries, mostly of children who attempt to pick up the bomblets, thinking they are toys.

A question for the New York Times: is Lebanon "rebuilding" from the Israeli holocaust in 2006? Apparently not, because your timeline stops at 1990. The entire Israeli war in Lebanon of 2006 has been ommitted from the New York Times' remembrance.

In the same issue that makes these deliberate and flagrant omissions, there is an obituary for "Holocaust Survivor" Eli Zborowski, who is celebrated for supporting "Holocaust Remembrance." In his N.Y. Times' obituary we read, "In 2000, when the pope visited Yad Vashem, some criticized him for declining to comment directly on the church's silence about Hitler's crimes during the war...” (16 Sept. 2012, p. A25; [published online Sept. 12]).

Always these self-righteous accusations in the face of Judaism's own extraordinary hypocrisy!

What about the "silence" of the New York Times concerning Israeli crimes during the First and Second Lebanese wars of 1982 and 2006?

The explanation of the disparity between suffering remembered, and suffering dismissed, is that "Jews" are human beings, and deserve commemoration, reparations and remembrance. Whereas the Arabs are sub-humans who deserve obscurity, anonymity and ignominy. Or as the Talmud informs its followers: "You are called men, but the gentiles are not men" (BT Bava Metzia 114b).

BILLIONAIRES FOR ROMNEY

Yet another plutocrat has stepped forth to help elect Binyamin Netanyahu's junior partner to the presidency: "A billionaire investor whose family owns the Chicago Cubs is pressing ahead with a multimillion-dollar pro-Republican political campaign...Joe Ricketts, the founder of what became online brokerage T.D. Ameritrade Inc., plans to spend $10 million airing ads supporting GOP nominee Mitt Romney..." (Wall Street Journal, 17 September, p. 1).
