Betrayal: "The Battle for Warsaw" BRUSSEL AND EUROPEAN UNION ASK TO CLOSE THE HISTORY SOLIDARITY SHIPYARDS BETRADED ONE MORE TIME
Betrayal: "The Battle for Warsaw" GAZA NOW 2009
The Warsaw Uprising was the largest and perhaps most heroic underground campaign of World War II. It was also one of the most desperate and little known battles of the war. Yet even as the Poles rose up against the Germans in the heart of Warsaw, THEY WERE CALLOUSLY BETRAYED. NOT BY THEIR ENEMIES BUT BY THEIR ALLIES. They were promised help that never came, so they took matters into their own hands. In the summer of 1944, more than 20,000 Polish Freedom Fighters and 220,000 Polish civilians died at the hands of the German Army during 63 days of hellacious battle in Poland's capital city of Warsaw.
Consisting entirely of archival footage and interviews with survivors, BETRAYAL: THE BATTLE FOR WARSAW is an inspiring and heartbreaking retrospective of one of the greatest fights you've probably never heard about.

Anty-goizm i żydowski problem genetyczny Prof. Iwo Cyprian Pogonowski
Anty-goizm i żydowski problem genetyczny Prof. Iwo Cyprian Pogonowski
Anty-goizm i żydowski problem genetyczny
Antygoizm pochodzi z egotyzmu radykalnych Żydów i jest komplikowany przez żydowski problem genetyczny TSD, zwłaszcza wśród polskich i wschodnio-europejskich Żydów. Para zdrowych nosicieli tej genetycznej choroby ma 25% szans urodzenia dziecka nawiedzonego tą nieuleczalna chorobą. Z tego powodu małżeństwo nosicieli tej choroby chce jak najwcześniej dowiedzieć się czy poczęte przez nie dziecko nie ma we krwi dowodów na tę śmiertelną chorobę.
Na wypadek takiego nieszczęścia, rodzice nie-urodzonego jeszcze dziecka, domagają się prawa do legalnego przeprowadzenia zabiegu przerwania ciąży. Mimo tego, że niewielka część Żydów znajduje się w tej sytuacji, sprawa przerywania ciąży została dołączona do wywrotowego arsenału żydowskiego razem z niby obroną praw homoseksualistów, kobiet, etc. Bardziej radykalną bronią żydowską jest legalny w Izraelu handel żywym towarem, pornografia i handel syntetycznymi narkotykami, których przemysł izraelski produkuje najwięcej na świecie.
Talmud jest główną kodyfikacją strategii żydowskiej przetrwania. Kodyfikacja ta powstała na przestrzeni kilku wieków i została ukończona w Babilonie, czyli dzisiejszym Bagdadzie, około 500 lat po urodzeniu Chrystusa. Głównym elementem Talmudu jest przekonanie o wyższość Żydów nad nie-Żydami oraz podstawowa zasada, że dziesięć przykazań wyłącznie dotyczy Żydów i że nie-Żydzi mogą być traktowani jak bydło. Talmud również daje wskazówki Żydom jak powinni pasożytować n a gojach, czyli nie-Żydach.
Niestety kapelani armii Izraela nauczają Żydów-żołnierzy, żeby postępowali według Talmudu i zabijali bez miłosierdzia Arabów, jako faktycznych lub potencjalnych wrogów. Znęcanie się Żydów nad Arabami w Palestynie ma na celu spowodowanie Arabów do opuszczenia przez nich ich stron rodzinnych. Pisze o tym dokładnie profesor Izrael Shahak w jego książce pod tytułem „Żydowskie Dzieje i Religia: Żydzi i Goje – XXX wieków historii.”
Notorycznie, Żydzi kultywują mit, że zawsze są krzywdzeni przez gojów. Żydzi sami nienawidzą okazywania skruchy, za krzywdy wyrządzane przez Żydów innym. Faktycznie ofiary krzywd wyrządzonych przez Żydów, są nagminnie przez nich nienawidzone. Stąd pochodzi niesłychana nienawiść do chłopów polskich i ukraińskich w literaturze żydowskiej. Lata terroru Jakuba Bermana, w czasie dziesięcioletnich rządów żydowskich w Polsce z ramienia Sowietów, oraz działalność żydowskiego ruchu roszczeniowego, są obecnie jednymi z głównych powodów stałych napaści żydowskich na Polaków, w prasie kontrolowanej przez Żydów.
Najbardziej szkodliwy dla Polaków był i jest żydowski ruch roszczeniowy, kierowany przez aferzystów w Ameryce, którzy pomnożyli wielokrotnie ilość Żydów europejskich, którzy przeżyli wojnę pod niemiecką okupacją, pobrali dla tych ludzi odszkodowanie w wysokości wielu miliardów dolarów z Niemiec i ze Szwajcarii, a następnie pieniądze te sprzeniewierzyli. Dlatego profesor Norman Finkelstein, autor książki „Holocaust Industry,” uważa żydowski ruch roszczeniowy za bandę oszustów.
Kevin MacDonald, profesor University of Southern California, opisuje w swojej książce o Żydach pod tytułem „Kultura Krytyki,” jak w powojennych państwach satelickich, Żydzi kierowali sowieckim aparatem terroru. W Polsce, czynił to Jakub Berman, który mianował Żydów na kluczowe stanowiska w komunistycznym aparacie terroru. Starsi Polacy pamiętają lata terroru Jakuba Bermana.
Podobnie w Rosji, po rewolucji, Żydzi pomagali stworzyć aparat terroru, w tradycji „tysiącletniego terroru rabinów,” który trwał do połowy 19go wieku i jest szczegółowo opisany przez profesora Izraela Shahak’a w wyżej wymienionej książce. Żyd Laureny Beria, któremu udowodniono jego Żydostwo wkrótce po śmierci Satlina, przygotował począwszy od 3go pazdzienika, 1939 roku do wiosny 1940 roku, tak zwaną imienną „listę katyńską” w celu egzekucji ponad 25,000 Polaków, przez NKWD.
W Polsce, po 1944 roku, szalał przez 10 lat terror Jakuba Bermana, który mordował dziesiątki tysięcy patriotów polskich i przygotowywał na masowe zesłanie żołnierzy Armii Krajowej do Rosji. Trudno pogodzić książki J. T. Grossa, z tymi faktami historycznymi. Niestety twórczość Grosa idzie w parze z perfidnym oczernianiem Polaków przez prezydenta Aleksandra Kwaśniewskiego, za pomocą przeprosin i skruchy, podczas gdy w rzeczywistości Żydzi, którzy przeżyli wojnę masowo mordowali Polaków-patriotów, w ramach aparatu terroru Jakuba Bermana.
Taktyka ogłupiania społeczeństwa polskiego jest dobrze zilustrowana w sugestywnym tekście Kwaśniewskiego, który występując w jarmułce powiedział, że wraża przeprosiny i skruchę „w imieniu tych Polaków, którym sumienie nakazuje tak postąpić.” Był to tekst na użytek wewnątrz Polski. Inaczej pisano w Izraelu i w USA, gdzie media podały, że w imieniu państwa polskiego, prezydent Polski, wyraził wobec wszystkich Żydów na świecie przeprosiny i skruchę. W liście do mnie pani Condoleezza Rice, działająca w rządzie USA zgodnie z życzeniami lobby Izraela, dała dowód swojego posłuszeństwa wobec radykalnych Żydów, kiedy napisała w tym liście, że jakoby „prezydent Kwaśniewski zachował się w Jedwabnem w sposób godny naśladowania.”
Perfidny Kwaśniewski prawdopodobnie znał fakt, że zbrodnie w Jedwabnem, były dokonane przez „sonder komando” z Ciechanowa, pod dowództwem Hauptsturmfuerer’a Hermann’a Schaper’a, który był skazany po wojnie w Niemczech, na sześć lat więzienia za tą zbrodnię, w dokonaniu której, Niemcy użyli około 400 litrów benzyny, do podpalenia zarekwirowanej stodoły i zastrzelili Żydów, którzy nieśli części rozbitego betonowego pomnika Lenina. Jak wiadomo wówczas Polacy w Jedwabnem nie mieli ani benzyny ani broni palnej, których posiadanie było zabronione pod karą śmierci.
Szerko głoszona fałszywa propaganda, krytykowana przez profesora Mac Donalda mówi „że Żydzi bolszewicy nie identyfikowali się z Żydami.” Bogaci bankierzy żydowscy w Nowym Jorku finansowali rewolucję bolszewicką i byli dumni z nieproporcjonalnie wielkiej ilości Żydów w rosyjskim ruchu rewolucyjnym. Mówił o tym z dumą Jacob Schiff (Jacob Hirsch Schiff ,1847-1920), bankier nowojorski, wspólnik rodziny W. Averell’a Harrimana, który był mistrzem ceremonii na konferencji w Teheranie w 1943 roku, gdzie alianci dokonali zdrady Polski.
Schiff jako prezes banku Kuhn, Loeb & Co. dał Leonowi Trockiemu 20 milionów dolarów w złocie, na bolszewicki pucz w St. Persburgu w 1917 roku. Później rząd Lenina zwrócił temu bankowi pięciokrotnie w złocie, 100 milionów dolarów, w nagrodę za pieniądze otrzymane, na opłatę zorganizowanych band zbrodniarzy w celu dokonania puczu bolszewickiego w St. Petersburgu.
Obecnie, ponad 90 lat po puczu bolszewickim i po upadku Związku Sowieckiego, Polacy są w nienawiści Żydów na drugim miejscu po Palestyńczykach, których Żydzi traktują tak jak Niemcy traktowali Żydów w czasie wojny, chociaż nie używają komór gazowych. Od czasu powstania państwa Izrael jest kolej na szczególną żydowską nienawiść do Palestyńczyków, w nieludzki sposób traktowanych w czasie tworzenia państwa Izrael i jego starań osiągnięcia „hegemonii od rzeki Nil w Egipcie do rzeki Eufrat w Iraku.”
Organizacja charytatywna Interpal, fałszywie oskarżana przez Żydów o terroryzm, działa na terenie Palestyny i stara się ratować Arabów nieludzko traktowanych przez ekstremistów żydowskich, rządzących w Izraelu. Interpal zbiera fundusze na służbę zdrowia i szkoły na terenach palestyńskich. Tymczasem na terenach Palestyny, okupowanych przez armię Izraela, Żydzi zbudowali wielki „mur hańby” czyli ścianę getta arabskiego i uruchomili 500 rogatek, które paraliżują poruszanie się Palestyńczyków, oraz zbudowali nielegalne osiedla dla ponad 400,000 nielegalnych osadników.
Obecnie miliony Palestyńczyków żyją na wygnaniu i państwo Izrael absolutnie nie zgadza się na wypłatę jakichkolwiek odszkodowań za zbrodnie popełnione przez Żydów na Arabach, jak również za stałe gwałcenie prawa międzynarodowego i rezolucji ONZ, potępiających bezprawie i masowe morderstwa dokonywane na Palestyńczykach, takie jakie z początkiem roku 2009 miały miejsce na terenie Gazy, prawie do chwili przejęcia władzy w USA przez prezydenta Barack’a Hussein’a Obamę.
Tymczasem fałszywa propaganda żydowskiego ruch roszczeniowego i jednoczesne ukrywanie masowych zbrodni żydowskich w ramach terroru komunistycznego, doprowadziło do takiego stanu rzeczy, że o ile zbrodniarzy hitlerowskich postawiono pod sąd, o tyle zbrodniarzy- komunistów przed żadnym sądem nie postawiono. Powszechnie wiadomo, że stało się tak z powodu wielkiego udziału Żydów, w kolosalnych zbrodniach epoki komunizmu. Ten stan rzeczy utrwala w Polsce, między innymi Gazeta Wyborcza, książki J.T. Gross’a oraz publikacje Żydowskiego Instytutu Historycznego.
Dziesięć lat przez zbrodniami Hitlera, w czasie narzucania kolektywizacji, Żydzi pod wodzą Lazara Kaganowicza, wymordowali głodem dwa razy więcej chłopów w Sowietach, niż Hitler wymordował Żydów dziesięć lat później. Wówczas Żydzi chwalili się w Kijowie, w czasie narzuconego „głodomoru,” że w stolicy Ukrainy, żaden Żyd nie był głodny.
Profesor Norman Finkelstein opisuje szczegółowo w swoich książkach, że sedno samo-zakłamania Żydów uformowane zostało w latach 1945-1967, kiedy skończył się okres żywej pamięci zbrodni, popełnianych przez Żydów, od 1939 roku współpracujących z sowieckim aparatem terroru na polskich terenach.
W 1967 roku zaczął się trwający do dziś okres skutecznego narzucania zakłamanej propagandy i ostrej cenzury, tak, że obecnie, mało kto, zdaje sobie sprawę, że w dwudziestym wieku, żydowskie ofiary stanowiły mniej niż 3% dwustu szesnastu milionów ofiar masowych mordów popełnionych w tym największym „wieku śmierci” w historii ludzkości. Tymczasem Żydzi szerzą propagandę „antygoizmu,” w ramach którego „antypolonizm” odgrywa ważną rolę.

Od czasu powstania państwa Izrael jest kolej na szczególną żydowską nienawiść do Palestyńczyków, w nieludzki sposób traktowanych w czasie tworzenia państwa Izrael i jego starań osiągnięcia „hegemonii od rzeki Nil w Egipcie do rzeki Eufrat w Iraku.”
Organizacja charytatywna Interpal, fałszywie oskarżana przez Żydów o terroryzm, działa na terenie Palestyny i stara się ratować Arabów nieludzko traktowanych przez ekstremistów żydowskich, rządzących w Izraelu. Interpal zbiera fundusze na służbę zdrowia i szkoły na terenach palestyńskich. Tymczasem na terenach Palestyny, okupowanych przez armię Izraela, Żydzi zbudowali wielki „mur hańby” czyli ścianę getta arabskiego i uruchomili 500 rogatek, które paraliżują poruszanie się Palestyńczyków, oraz zbudowali nielegalne osiedla dla ponad 400,000 nielegalnych osadników.
Obecnie miliony Palestyńczyków żyją na wygnaniu i państwo Izrael absolutnie nie zgadza się na wypłatę jakichkolwiek odszkodowań za zbrodnie popełnione przez Żydów na Arabach, jak również za stałe gwałcenie prawa międzynarodowego i rezolucji ONZ, potępiających bezprawie i masowe morderstwa dokonywane na Palestyńczykach, takie jakie z początkiem roku 2009 miały miejsce na terenie Gazy, prawie do chwili przejęcia władzy w USA przez prezydenta Barack’a Hussein’a Obamę.
Tymczasem fałszywa propaganda żydowskiego ruch roszczeniowego i jednoczesne ukrywanie masowych zbrodni żydowskich w ramach terroru komunistycznego, doprowadziło do takiego stanu rzeczy, że o ile zbrodniarzy hitlerowskich postawiono pod sąd, o tyle zbrodniarzy- komunistów przed żadnym sądem nie postawiono. Powszechnie wiadomo, że stało się tak z powodu wielkiego udziału Żydów, w kolosalnych zbrodniach epoki komunizmu. Ten stan rzeczy utrwala w Polsce, między innymi Gazeta Wyborcza, książki J.T. Gross’a oraz publikacje Żydowskiego Instytutu Historycznego.
Dziesięć lat przez zbrodniami Hitlera, w czasie narzucania kolektywizacji, Żydzi pod wodzą Lazara Kaganowicza, wymordowali głodem dwa razy więcej chłopów w Sowietach, niż Hitler wymordował Żydów dziesięć lat później. Wówczas Żydzi chwalili się w Kijowie, w czasie narzuconego „głodomoru,” że w stolicy Ukrainy, żaden Żyd nie był głodny.
Profesor Norman Finkelstein opisuje szczegółowo w swoich książkach, że sedno samo-zakłamania Żydów uformowane zostało w latach 1945-1967, kiedy skończył się okres żywej pamięci zbrodni, popełnianych przez Żydów, od 1939 roku współpracujących z sowieckim aparatem terroru na polskich terenach.
W 1967 roku zaczął się trwający do dziś okres skutecznego narzucania zakłamanej propagandy i ostrej cenzury, tak, że obecnie, mało kto, zdaje sobie sprawę, że w dwudziestym wieku, żydowskie ofiary stanowiły mniej niż 3% dwustu szesnastu milionów ofiar masowych mordów popełnionych w tym największym „wieku śmierci” w historii ludzkości. Tymczasem Żydzi szerzą propagandę „antygoizmu,” w ramach którego „antypolonizm” odgrywa ważną rolę.

ZEGOTA saved 50000 Jews from Holocaust 1/3
ZEGOTA-Council for Aid to Jews in Occupied Poland(1939-1945). ZEGOTA (in Polish: ŻEGOTA) was the only government-sponsored (London-based Polish Government-in-Exile) social welfare agency established to rescue Jews in German-occupied EUROPE. It provided hiding places and false identify documents for Jewish men, women, and children who were able to escape from German-Nazi control and ultimately their efforts saved thousands of lives.
ZEGOTA (ŻEGOTA) distributed about 50,000 sets of false identification documents that were provided by secret forgery units of the underground. ŻEGOTA agents looked for homes and hiding places, including emergency shelters, to enable escaping Jews to get off the streets as quickly as possible.
A special section of ŻEGOTA was organized to get Jewish children out of the German Warsaw Ghetto after locating homes for them. The Jewish children also required false documents and stories to match. If they were old enough, they had to memorize new identities. ŻEGOTA rescued about 2,500 Jewish children in the city of Warsaw. IRENA SENDLEROWA (de domo: IRENA KRZYŻANOWSKA) (also IRENA SENDLER) played a leading role in the rescue and hiding of Jewish children. LIFE IN A JAR in You Tube. ZEGOTA was the only such organization in occupied Europe during the Holocaust.
Germans selected Poland as the only country where aiding a Jew, be it only to give him a slice of bread, was immediately punished by death. Failure to inform on a neighbor hiding Jews meant deportation to a GERMAN NAZI Concentration and Extermination Camp(1939-1945) AUSCHWITZ, BUCHENWALD, DACHAU, BERGEN BELSEN, Ravensbrück, Sachsenhausen, MAUTHAUSEN, Neuengamme, GROSS-ROSEN, SZUCHA, PAWIAK, PALMIRY.
Few people know that among all the countries occupied by the German Third Reich during the Second World War(1939-1945) only in GERMAN-OCCUPIED POLAND was any kind of help to a person of Jewish faith or origin punishable by death. This penalty was widely announced by the occupying authorities. What is more, this punishment was quite often imposed not only on the rescuer, but also on his/her family, often on neighbors, and on whole towns or villages. The Germans believed in collective responsibility, trying to eliminate as many Poles, and Slavic people, as possible, making them the most terrorized populations after the Jews and the Gypsies. Close to THREE MILLION Polish Christians lost their lives by execution, torture, starvation, or overwork in more than 2,000 prisons, forced labor and concentration camps.
On August 22, 1939, a week before his attack on Poland, Hitler exhorted his nation: "Kill without pity or mercy all men, women and children of Polish descent or language. Only in this way can we obtain the living space we need." As many as 200,000 Polish children, deemed to have "Germanic" (Aryan) features, were forcibly taken to Germany to be raised as Germans, and had their birth records falsified. Very few of these children were reunited with their families after the war.
More than 500 towns and villages were burned, over 16 thousand persons, mostly Polish Christians, were killed in 714 mass executions of which 60% were carried out by the Wehrmacht (German army) and 40% by the SS and Gestapo. In Bydgoszcz the first victims were boy scouts from 12 to 16 years old, shot in the marketplace. All this happened in the first eight weeks of the war. See Richard C. Lucas, The Forgotten Holocaust; The Poles under German Occupation. Lexington: The University Press of Kentucky [c1986].
According to the AB German Plan, Poles were to become a people without education, slaves for the German overlords. Secondary schools were closed; studying, keeping radios, or arms of any kind, or practicing any kind of trade were prohibited under the threat of death.
Out of its pre-war population of 36 million, Poland lost 22%, a higher percentage than any other country in Europe. The heaviest losses were sustained by educated classes, youth and democratic forces that could have challenged totalitarianism. See I. C. Pogonowski, Poland: A Historical Atlas. New York, Hippocrene Books, 1987.

Ron Paul: I’d like to give you an update on 1207. This week we went over the number 218, which means that the majority of the members of the House of Representatives have signed on as co-sponsors. As a matter of fact, we’re up to 223 co-sponsors of the bill and this means that the momentum is picking up. It would be nice someday to see 290, which would mean that it could be passed even under suspension. We still have a long way to go, but this is really a very important event, an important number.
We also have to remember that we should push S 604, the Senate bill, which is the same bill and there’s not nearly as many co-sponsors over there, but eventually the Senate would have to act on this bill.
But we also have the strong support of Dennis Kucinich. As a matter of fact, he came on and symbolically became the 218th member to co-sponsor our legislation, but I also have co-sponsored his legislation, which is HR 2424. As a matter of fact, he has passed that in the committee that he’s on, the Government Oversight Committee, and that now will be acted on one way or the other.
Now, his bill is a little bit different. What it does, it provides access from Congress and the GAO to look at the papers in the Federal Reserve dealing with the lending facilities that were all devised here in this past year and that is very important and I have, like I said, been a co-sponsor of that.
But his bill now has… several things could happen and that could be brought directly to the floor or it could go to the Banking Committee. As a matter of fact, I think Chairman Frank is asking to take a look at that bill and that’s not all bad, but it does lend itself to some confusion. But if it comes to the Banking Committee, then I might then have the opportunity to take 1207 and attach it to what Mr. Kucinich has done and that would be fine. His bill doesn’t cancel my efforts out and my bill doesn’t cancel his efforts out.
But 1207 is much broader, Dennis’ bill has a sunset provision. After five years, it is sunsetted. That’s not all bad, but it’s not as good as what we’d want. What 1207 does, it’s an overall audit of everything the Fed does and there’s no sunsetting on it and calls for a full audit.
So it’s a different approach and 1207 is much thorough and, of course, we want to make sure that the bill in the Senate gets momentum as well. So we are now looking forward to some very positive things happening, but we also have to remember, there’s nothing automatic about this.
I think when push comes to shove, the authorities who will be under the gun if we ever get the Fed exposed are going to come down real hard and they’re going to be talking to the leaders of both parties on all the bad things that could happen if they ever found out what was going on.
But, you know, in a way, I don’t lie awake at night worrying about this because I think we’ve had a major victory. We’ve had a moral victory and we’ve had a political victory. We may well end up with a legislative victory, but just think, even if they close us out and they don’t allow this bill to be passed, it will prove our point. It will prove our point that there’s a lot of shenanigans going on in the Federal Reserve that deserve attention and so the fact that so many people have joined in on this effort around the country as well as the members of Congress, it is, to me, a major victory and we have to continue this momentum.
But we have to look at all the options. The legislative process is not going to end in a week or even a month. It may take a while. When it gets to the Banking Committee, Chairman Frank might decide to extract this portion of the auditing procedure and put it into a banking bill and that might become more confusing.
And there will be efforts, of course, to water the bill down and I have to watch out for that because the temptation will be to allow the bill to go through, but strike a few clauses or put a phrase in there that really guts the bill. That’s essentially what happened in 1978 when the audit bill was passed. They said, “Sure. You can audit the Federal Reserve now, except for…” and they listed all the exclusions and made the audit bill in 1978 worthless and we need to correct that.
It’s a tremendous opportunity right now for us to find out more about the Federal Reserve, rein in the Federal Reserve, and in time, we can talk about why we don’t need the Federal Reserve and why we need a constitutional system of money which, of course, is not paper money and it can’t be run and managed by a Central bank.
But overall, there’s every reason to be excited about what has happened and that we making great progress here in the Congress and around the country for monetary reform.
An Open Letter to the Jewish Community in Behalf of Ron Paul
Ron Paul favors the elimination of foreign aid to Israel. Many Jews, even those who favor free enterprise, individual rights and peace, thus oppose the most libertarian candidate ever to run for the Republican nomination for president. This enmity goes so far as to account for his being barred from the Republican Jewish Coalition’s candidates' forum. This is no doubt that this action was taken out of fear that if Congressman Paul’s policies are put into effect, they will be harmful to Israel.
At first blush, this seems reasonable enough. The U.S. gives lots of money to the Israeli government for use by its military, and if this were totally eliminated, it is not unwarranted to think that this country would thereby be weakened.
However, I contend that there are several good and sufficient reasons to doubt this popular belief. Consider the following.
I. Relative statistics
Dr. Paul by no means would single out the single country of Israel for an elimination of foreign aid. Much to the contrary, his is a thorough-going plan that would end this pernicious program for all countries. Indeed, each and every nation on the face of the earth that had been receiving U.S. tax dollars would be told that their ride on this particular gravy train had ended. Would this hurt Israel? Of course, at least in dollar terms (see below for the argument that foreign aid actually hurts the economies of the recipient countries). But, it would also harm every other recipient as well (I am still positing, arguendo, that foreign "aid" benefits recipient countries). In order to determine whether or not Israel would be better off or not, one must make a relativistic judgment. That is, will Israel lose more or less than its enemies?
The facts for a recent year appear below. Here are the top 16 recipients of U.S. foreign aid for 2005:
1. Israel 2.58 Billion
2. Egypt 1.84 Billion
3. Afghanistan 0.98 Billion
4. Pakistan 0.70 Billion
5. Colombia 0.57 Billion
6. Sudan 0.50 Billion
7. Jordan 0.48 Billion
8. Uganda 0.25 Billion
9. Kenya 0.24 Billion
10. Ethiopia 0.19 Billion
11. South Africa 0.19 Billion
12. Peru 0.19 Billion
13. Indonesia 0.18 Billion
14. Bolivia 0.18 Billion
15. Nigeria 0.18 Billion
16. Zambia 0.18 Billion
Israel, as can be expected, is right at the top of this list. It would lose $2.58 Billion, under President Paul’s administration (I have to confess that I really like the sound of that phrase. I think I’ll repeat it: President Paul’s administration. Perhaps this sounds even better: President Ron Paul’s administration. Or maybe this: The Administration of President Ron Paul? Okay, okay, back to business, now.) However, let us add up the amounts received by only these few countries, all of them mainly populated by either Muslims and/or Arabs:
2. Egypt 1.84 Billion
3. Afghanistan 0.98 Billion
4. Pakistan 0.70 Billion
6. Sudan 0.50 Billion
7. Jordan 0.48 Billion
If we do so, we arrive at the figure of $4.5 Billion. So, yes, Israel will lose $2.58 Billion, but its enemies, both actual and potential, are out of pocket a far larger $4.5 Billion. If we sum up the amounts received by all countries which harbor anti-Semites, we reach a much higher figure. If we define this broadly enough, this might well include just about every other nation on earth. No matter what statistics we consider, Israel is relatively strengthened by the Ron Paul policy on foreign aid. It loses, but its actual and potential enemies lose more. Thus, it becomes relatively stronger. Note, also, that these figures do not include the vast amounts currently spent by the U.S. on and in Iraq and Palestine, certainly no friends of Israel.
II. Private giving
There is nothing, nothing at all, in Ron Paul’s program that would even in the slightest interfere with private foreign charitable giving. In other words, Jews in the U.S., and non-Jewish American supporters of Israel, would be just as free as at present, to donate to this country. In fact, there is every reason to suppose that these private gifts to Israel would increase, not decrease. For one thing, with the slight (foreign aid comprises only in the neighborhood of 1% of GDP) reduction in taxes this would imply (in a Ron Paul administration, such savings would be funneled into lower taxation, not into other programs; did I mention that I really like the sound of that phrase, a Ron Paul administration?) more disposable income for all. Since Jews are in higher income brackets than the average person, and we presently suffer under a progressive income tax (which, by the way, would also be ended by President Paul) the largest donors to Israel would have even more income at their disposal. Then, too, this community might be so upset at this action of President Paul (I really like the way that phrase rolls off the tongue; ah, the sheer alliteration!), unwisely so, but still, so that they would donate additional monies.
III. Foreign aid weakens the economy
If we learn anything from Peter Bauer, it is that government-to-government transfers of income do not constitute foreign "aid." Very much to the contrary, they typically amount to foreign detriment. Much of the money goes to the three Ms: monuments, Mercedes and machine guns. The first need not be in the form of a statue of the leader: it could also take the form of a mill that produces steel at a multiple of the price available on world markets. The second includes not only automobiles, but also, invariably, engorged Swiss bank accounts. And the third is usually utilized by third-world dictators to keep the citizenry in thrall. Then, too, while foreign "aid" is a small part of the donor’s economy, it accounts for a large percentage of that of the recipients’. Instead of the best and brightest of their young people aiming at careers that can help economic development (doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs), they engage in training that will help them divert some of the boodle to themselves, and their relatives and friends (civil servants, lawyers, bureaucrats).
In Israel, the main negative implication of U.S. largesse has been promotion of socialism. Had our country not been financially supporting a heavily unionized and socialized economy in Israel, these policies would likely have never been as large as they were, and would have diminished much sooner. There are strong empirical illustrations attesting to the correlation between size of government and economic regulations, on the one hand, and attenuation of the economy on the other (Gwartney, James, Robert Lawson and Walter Block. 1996. Economic Freedom of the World, 1975–1995, Vancouver, B.C. Canada: the Fraser Institute. For a non-empirical treatment of this phenomenon, see Smith, Adam. [1776] 1979. An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, Indianapolis, IN: Liberty Fund).
That is, without U.S. "aid" to Israel, the economy of the latter would have been stronger. But a richer country is usually a safer country. One of the effects of Dr. Paul’s policy, then, would be the strengthening of the Israeli economy.
IV. The U.S. handcuffs Israeli policy
Because of its monetary transfers to Israel, the U.S. is in a position to dictate policy to its client state. Sometimes, perhaps, maybe, this is in the best interests of the nation of Israel. At least, it does not constitute a logical contradiction to entertain such a notion. But there are numerous cases where the U.S. has obviously handcuffed the Israelis, not to the benefit of the latter, at least as the Israelis saw their own best interest.
Perhaps the most famous example of this phenomenon is when Eisenhower forced the British, French and Israelis to pull back from their invasion of Suez in 1956.
According to one historian: "President Eisenhower of the United States pressured Britain, France and Israel into agreeing to a cease-fire and eventual withdrawal from Egypt." Forget about the rights and wrongs of the matter; they do not concern us. My point is that it is extremely difficult to interpret this little episode as being in the best interests of the security of the state of Israel, at least insofar as the leaders of that country saw their own best interests in this regard.
A more recent case in point took place when Condoleezza Rice forced the Israelis to postpone the bombing of a possible nuclear facility in Syria. This was done in the context when the Israelis certainly saw quick action as being in their national interest. According to a news report:
"A mysterious Israeli military strike on a suspected nuclear site in Syria last month was opposed by Condoleezza Rice, the American secretary of state, because she feared it would destabilise the region, according to a report this weekend.
"Rice persuaded the Israelis to delay their operation…"
Say what you will about these two events, which are only the tip of a very large iceberg, it cannot be denied that they constitute a serious drawback to the safety of Israel, at least in terms of how the Israelis themselves see their own best interest. Needless to say, this sort of interference would come to a complete, abrupt and utter halt under a Ron Paul presidency.

Forget about the money, at least for a moment. The U.S. also provides Israel with a guarantee: any country trying to overrun Israel will have to deal with the armed might of the U.S. Iran, the member of the "evil axis" du jour, had better watch out.
But just how good are U.S. guarantees? As but one example you can ask the Vietnamese who supported the U.S. incursion into their country all about that.
Would an Israel completely untied to the apron strings of the U.S. be able to take care of itself? There seems little doubt that not only would Israel be able to defend itself, it would be more able to do so without the U.S. continually orchestrating matters in a paternalistic manner.
How about in the face of nuclear-armed Iran? An Israel able to operate on its own, without a by your leave from Uncle Sam, might be better able to prevent just such an occurrence. If not, that nation has its own nuclear weapons at its disposal. If the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. could endure decades of cold war, with only Mutual Assured Destruction keeping the "peace," it may well be that Israel and its Arab neighbors will have to go through the same process. At the very least, this present tossing of missiles from Gaza over to Israel would have to come to an end; it would be far too dangerous in a Middle Eastern MAD. Without the U.S. in the neighborhood, the major Muslim/Arab powers such as Iran/Egypt, Syria would never tolerate such risky acts.
Having given several reasons for doubting that Ron Paul’s program would harm Israel, let us move on to a conclusion.
Perhaps, if Ron wanted to help Israel vis-à-vis its enemies, it would end government to government transfers of income to that country, and double or triple it to every other nation, particularly to its most vociferous enemies. With the poison of foreign "aid" applied to its enemies, but not to Israel, the latter might become even the more strengthened relative to them. This is an interesting speculation. But this is not part of Ron Paul’s program. For one thing, there is nothing in the Constitution allowing, let alone requiring, such a policy. (Ron really ought to give a free copy of this document to his Republican debating partners.) For another, it is highly incompatible with libertarian prohibitions against stealing.
The action of the Republican Jewish Coalition in barring Ron Paul from their debate was thus a shonda for the goyim. A disgrace. We Jews are supposed to be the people of the book. That is, open to intellectual dialogue. How is it possible to reconcile this with a refusal to hear out one of the major Republican candidates for the presidency. I urge all Jewish Republicans and libertarians to express their dissatisfaction with this act, and to join Jews for Ron Paul.
Note the narrow scope of this article. I am not engaged in any discussion of shoulds or oughts. I take no position, whatsoever, on whether Eisenhower was justified in forcing an end to the Suez crisis, nor whether Condoleezza Rice was justified in postponing the more recent Israeli bombing of (possible) Syrian nuclear installations. I am addressing myself solely to the narrow question of whether Ron Paul’s plan to eliminate all foreign aid will likely help or hurt Israel. The mainstream Jewish community fervently believes the latter. And this to such a degree that they have acted disgracefully by barring Dr. Paul from their debate. With leaders like that, the Jewish community in the U.S. hardly needs enemies.

ZEGOTA saved 50000 Jews from Holocaust 1/3
ZEGOTA-Council for Aid to Jews in Occupied Poland(1939-1945). ZEGOTA (in Polish: ŻEGOTA) was the only government-sponsored (London-based Polish Government-in-Exile) social welfare agency established to rescue Jews in German-occupied EUROPE. It provided hiding places and false identify documents for Jewish men, women, and children who were able to escape from German-Nazi control and ultimately their efforts saved thousands of lives.
ZEGOTA (ŻEGOTA) distributed about 50,000 sets of false identification documents that were provided by secret forgery units of the underground. ŻEGOTA agents looked for homes and hiding places, including emergency shelters, to enable escaping Jews to get off the streets as quickly as possible.
A special section of ŻEGOTA was organized to get Jewish children out of the German Warsaw Ghetto after locating homes for them. The Jewish children also required false documents and stories to match. If they were old enough, they had to memorize new identities. ŻEGOTA rescued about 2,500 Jewish children in the city of Warsaw. IRENA SENDLEROWA (de domo: IRENA KRZYŻANOWSKA) (also IRENA SENDLER) played a leading role in the rescue and hiding of Jewish children. LIFE IN A JAR in You Tube. ZEGOTA was the only such organization in occupied Europe during the Holocaust.
Germans selected Poland as the only country where aiding a Jew, be it only to give him a slice of bread, was immediately punished by death. Failure to inform on a neighbor hiding Jews meant deportation to a GERMAN NAZI Concentration and Extermination Camp(1939-1945) AUSCHWITZ, BUCHENWALD, DACHAU, BERGEN BELSEN, Ravensbrück, Sachsenhausen, MAUTHAUSEN, Neuengamme, GROSS-ROSEN, SZUCHA, PAWIAK, PALMIRY.
Few people know that among all the countries occupied by the German Third Reich during the Second World War(1939-1945) only in GERMAN-OCCUPIED POLAND was any kind of help to a person of Jewish faith or origin punishable by death. This penalty was widely announced by the occupying authorities. What is more, this punishment was quite often imposed not only on the rescuer, but also on his/her family, often on neighbors, and on whole towns or villages. The Germans believed in collective responsibility, trying to eliminate as many Poles, and Slavic people, as possible, making them the most terrorized populations after the Jews and the Gypsies. Close to THREE MILLION Polish Christians lost their lives by execution, torture, starvation, or overwork in more than 2,000 prisons, forced labor and concentration camps.
On August 22, 1939, a week before his attack on Poland, Hitler exhorted his nation: "Kill without pity or mercy all men, women and children of Polish descent or language. Only in this way can we obtain the living space we need." As many as 200,000 Polish children, deemed to have "Germanic" (Aryan) features, were forcibly taken to Germany to be raised as Germans, and had their birth records falsified. Very few of these children were reunited with their families after the war.
More than 500 towns and villages were burned, over 16 thousand persons, mostly Polish Christians, were killed in 714 mass executions of which 60% were carried out by the Wehrmacht (German army) and 40% by the SS and Gestapo. In Bydgoszcz the first victims were boy scouts from 12 to 16 years old, shot in the marketplace. All this happened in the first eight weeks of the war. See Richard C. Lucas, The Forgotten Holocaust; The Poles under German Occupation. Lexington: The University Press of Kentucky [c1986].
According to the AB German Plan, Poles were to become a people without education, slaves for the German overlords. Secondary schools were closed; studying, keeping radios, or arms of any kind, or practicing any kind of trade were prohibited under the threat of death.
Out of its pre-war population of 36 million, Poland lost 22%, a higher percentage than any other country in Europe. The heaviest losses were sustained by educated classes, youth and democratic forces that could have challenged totalitarianism. See I. C. Pogonowski, Poland: A Historical Atlas. New York, Hippocrene Books, 1987.

Ron Paul: I’d like to give you an update on 1207. This week we went over the number 218, which means that the majority of the members of the House of Representatives have signed on as co-sponsors. As a matter of fact, we’re up to 223 co-sponsors of the bill and this means that the momentum is picking up. It would be nice someday to see 290, which would mean that it could be passed even under suspension. We still have a long way to go, but this is really a very important event, an important number.
We also have to remember that we should push S 604, the Senate bill, which is the same bill and there’s not nearly as many co-sponsors over there, but eventually the Senate would have to act on this bill.
But we also have the strong support of Dennis Kucinich. As a matter of fact, he came on and symbolically became the 218th member to co-sponsor our legislation, but I also have co-sponsored his legislation, which is HR 2424. As a matter of fact, he has passed that in the committee that he’s on, the Government Oversight Committee, and that now will be acted on one way or the other.
Now, his bill is a little bit different. What it does, it provides access from Congress and the GAO to look at the papers in the Federal Reserve dealing with the lending facilities that were all devised here in this past year and that is very important and I have, like I said, been a co-sponsor of that.
But his bill now has… several things could happen and that could be brought directly to the floor or it could go to the Banking Committee. As a matter of fact, I think Chairman Frank is asking to take a look at that bill and that’s not all bad, but it does lend itself to some confusion. But if it comes to the Banking Committee, then I might then have the opportunity to take 1207 and attach it to what Mr. Kucinich has done and that would be fine. His bill doesn’t cancel my efforts out and my bill doesn’t cancel his efforts out.
But 1207 is much broader, Dennis’ bill has a sunset provision. After five years, it is sunsetted. That’s not all bad, but it’s not as good as what we’d want. What 1207 does, it’s an overall audit of everything the Fed does and there’s no sunsetting on it and calls for a full audit.
So it’s a different approach and 1207 is much thorough and, of course, we want to make sure that the bill in the Senate gets momentum as well. So we are now looking forward to some very positive things happening, but we also have to remember, there’s nothing automatic about this.
I think when push comes to shove, the authorities who will be under the gun if we ever get the Fed exposed are going to come down real hard and they’re going to be talking to the leaders of both parties on all the bad things that could happen if they ever found out what was going on.
But, you know, in a way, I don’t lie awake at night worrying about this because I think we’ve had a major victory. We’ve had a moral victory and we’ve had a political victory. We may well end up with a legislative victory, but just think, even if they close us out and they don’t allow this bill to be passed, it will prove our point. It will prove our point that there’s a lot of shenanigans going on in the Federal Reserve that deserve attention and so the fact that so many people have joined in on this effort around the country as well as the members of Congress, it is, to me, a major victory and we have to continue this momentum.
But we have to look at all the options. The legislative process is not going to end in a week or even a month. It may take a while. When it gets to the Banking Committee, Chairman Frank might decide to extract this portion of the auditing procedure and put it into a banking bill and that might become more confusing.
And there will be efforts, of course, to water the bill down and I have to watch out for that because the temptation will be to allow the bill to go through, but strike a few clauses or put a phrase in there that really guts the bill. That’s essentially what happened in 1978 when the audit bill was passed. They said, “Sure. You can audit the Federal Reserve now, except for…” and they listed all the exclusions and made the audit bill in 1978 worthless and we need to correct that.
It’s a tremendous opportunity right now for us to find out more about the Federal Reserve, rein in the Federal Reserve, and in time, we can talk about why we don’t need the Federal Reserve and why we need a constitutional system of money which, of course, is not paper money and it can’t be run and managed by a Central bank.
But overall, there’s every reason to be excited about what has happened and that we making great progress here in the Congress and around the country for monetary reform.
An Open Letter to the Jewish Community in Behalf of Ron Paul
Ron Paul favors the elimination of foreign aid to Israel. Many Jews, even those who favor free enterprise, individual rights and peace, thus oppose the most libertarian candidate ever to run for the Republican nomination for president. This enmity goes so far as to account for his being barred from the Republican Jewish Coalition’s candidates' forum. This is no doubt that this action was taken out of fear that if Congressman Paul’s policies are put into effect, they will be harmful to Israel.
At first blush, this seems reasonable enough. The U.S. gives lots of money to the Israeli government for use by its military, and if this were totally eliminated, it is not unwarranted to think that this country would thereby be weakened.
However, I contend that there are several good and sufficient reasons to doubt this popular belief. Consider the following.
I. Relative statistics
Dr. Paul by no means would single out the single country of Israel for an elimination of foreign aid. Much to the contrary, his is a thorough-going plan that would end this pernicious program for all countries. Indeed, each and every nation on the face of the earth that had been receiving U.S. tax dollars would be told that their ride on this particular gravy train had ended. Would this hurt Israel? Of course, at least in dollar terms (see below for the argument that foreign aid actually hurts the economies of the recipient countries). But, it would also harm every other recipient as well (I am still positing, arguendo, that foreign "aid" benefits recipient countries). In order to determine whether or not Israel would be better off or not, one must make a relativistic judgment. That is, will Israel lose more or less than its enemies?
The facts for a recent year appear below. Here are the top 16 recipients of U.S. foreign aid for 2005:
1. Israel 2.58 Billion
2. Egypt 1.84 Billion
3. Afghanistan 0.98 Billion
4. Pakistan 0.70 Billion
5. Colombia 0.57 Billion
6. Sudan 0.50 Billion
7. Jordan 0.48 Billion
8. Uganda 0.25 Billion
9. Kenya 0.24 Billion
10. Ethiopia 0.19 Billion
11. South Africa 0.19 Billion
12. Peru 0.19 Billion
13. Indonesia 0.18 Billion
14. Bolivia 0.18 Billion
15. Nigeria 0.18 Billion
16. Zambia 0.18 Billion
Israel, as can be expected, is right at the top of this list. It would lose $2.58 Billion, under President Paul’s administration (I have to confess that I really like the sound of that phrase. I think I’ll repeat it: President Paul’s administration. Perhaps this sounds even better: President Ron Paul’s administration. Or maybe this: The Administration of President Ron Paul? Okay, okay, back to business, now.) However, let us add up the amounts received by only these few countries, all of them mainly populated by either Muslims and/or Arabs:
2. Egypt 1.84 Billion
3. Afghanistan 0.98 Billion
4. Pakistan 0.70 Billion
6. Sudan 0.50 Billion
7. Jordan 0.48 Billion
If we do so, we arrive at the figure of $4.5 Billion. So, yes, Israel will lose $2.58 Billion, but its enemies, both actual and potential, are out of pocket a far larger $4.5 Billion. If we sum up the amounts received by all countries which harbor anti-Semites, we reach a much higher figure. If we define this broadly enough, this might well include just about every other nation on earth. No matter what statistics we consider, Israel is relatively strengthened by the Ron Paul policy on foreign aid. It loses, but its actual and potential enemies lose more. Thus, it becomes relatively stronger. Note, also, that these figures do not include the vast amounts currently spent by the U.S. on and in Iraq and Palestine, certainly no friends of Israel.
II. Private giving
There is nothing, nothing at all, in Ron Paul’s program that would even in the slightest interfere with private foreign charitable giving. In other words, Jews in the U.S., and non-Jewish American supporters of Israel, would be just as free as at present, to donate to this country. In fact, there is every reason to suppose that these private gifts to Israel would increase, not decrease. For one thing, with the slight (foreign aid comprises only in the neighborhood of 1% of GDP) reduction in taxes this would imply (in a Ron Paul administration, such savings would be funneled into lower taxation, not into other programs; did I mention that I really like the sound of that phrase, a Ron Paul administration?) more disposable income for all. Since Jews are in higher income brackets than the average person, and we presently suffer under a progressive income tax (which, by the way, would also be ended by President Paul) the largest donors to Israel would have even more income at their disposal. Then, too, this community might be so upset at this action of President Paul (I really like the way that phrase rolls off the tongue; ah, the sheer alliteration!), unwisely so, but still, so that they would donate additional monies.
III. Foreign aid weakens the economy
If we learn anything from Peter Bauer, it is that government-to-government transfers of income do not constitute foreign "aid." Very much to the contrary, they typically amount to foreign detriment. Much of the money goes to the three Ms: monuments, Mercedes and machine guns. The first need not be in the form of a statue of the leader: it could also take the form of a mill that produces steel at a multiple of the price available on world markets. The second includes not only automobiles, but also, invariably, engorged Swiss bank accounts. And the third is usually utilized by third-world dictators to keep the citizenry in thrall. Then, too, while foreign "aid" is a small part of the donor’s economy, it accounts for a large percentage of that of the recipients’. Instead of the best and brightest of their young people aiming at careers that can help economic development (doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs), they engage in training that will help them divert some of the boodle to themselves, and their relatives and friends (civil servants, lawyers, bureaucrats).
In Israel, the main negative implication of U.S. largesse has been promotion of socialism. Had our country not been financially supporting a heavily unionized and socialized economy in Israel, these policies would likely have never been as large as they were, and would have diminished much sooner. There are strong empirical illustrations attesting to the correlation between size of government and economic regulations, on the one hand, and attenuation of the economy on the other (Gwartney, James, Robert Lawson and Walter Block. 1996. Economic Freedom of the World, 1975–1995, Vancouver, B.C. Canada: the Fraser Institute. For a non-empirical treatment of this phenomenon, see Smith, Adam. [1776] 1979. An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, Indianapolis, IN: Liberty Fund).
That is, without U.S. "aid" to Israel, the economy of the latter would have been stronger. But a richer country is usually a safer country. One of the effects of Dr. Paul’s policy, then, would be the strengthening of the Israeli economy.
IV. The U.S. handcuffs Israeli policy
Because of its monetary transfers to Israel, the U.S. is in a position to dictate policy to its client state. Sometimes, perhaps, maybe, this is in the best interests of the nation of Israel. At least, it does not constitute a logical contradiction to entertain such a notion. But there are numerous cases where the U.S. has obviously handcuffed the Israelis, not to the benefit of the latter, at least as the Israelis saw their own best interest.
Perhaps the most famous example of this phenomenon is when Eisenhower forced the British, French and Israelis to pull back from their invasion of Suez in 1956.
According to one historian: "President Eisenhower of the United States pressured Britain, France and Israel into agreeing to a cease-fire and eventual withdrawal from Egypt." Forget about the rights and wrongs of the matter; they do not concern us. My point is that it is extremely difficult to interpret this little episode as being in the best interests of the security of the state of Israel, at least insofar as the leaders of that country saw their own best interests in this regard.
A more recent case in point took place when Condoleezza Rice forced the Israelis to postpone the bombing of a possible nuclear facility in Syria. This was done in the context when the Israelis certainly saw quick action as being in their national interest. According to a news report:
"A mysterious Israeli military strike on a suspected nuclear site in Syria last month was opposed by Condoleezza Rice, the American secretary of state, because she feared it would destabilise the region, according to a report this weekend.
"Rice persuaded the Israelis to delay their operation…"
Say what you will about these two events, which are only the tip of a very large iceberg, it cannot be denied that they constitute a serious drawback to the safety of Israel, at least in terms of how the Israelis themselves see their own best interest. Needless to say, this sort of interference would come to a complete, abrupt and utter halt under a Ron Paul presidency.
V. Guarantor
Forget about the money, at least for a moment. The U.S. also provides Israel with a guarantee: any country trying to overrun Israel will have to deal with the armed might of the U.S. Iran, the member of the "evil axis" du jour, had better watch out.
But just how good are U.S. guarantees? As but one example you can ask the Vietnamese who supported the U.S. incursion into their country all about that.

If not, that nation has its own nuclear weapons at its disposal. If the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. could endure decades of cold war, with only Mutual Assured Destruction keeping the "peace," it may well be that Israel and its Arab neighbors will have to go through the same process. At the very least, this present tossing of missiles from Gaza over to Israel would have to come to an end; it would be far too dangerous in a Middle Eastern MAD.
