The Jewish Question

November 16, 2009 - July 20, 2010

Author: Bart klein Ikink



Introduction

Currently a small predominantly Jewish oligarchy runs the affairs in the Western world and especially in the United States. This has far reaching consequences for the world, because the United States has been the most powerful nation in recent decades. I will try to demonstrate that this oligarchy is undermining democracy and using the United States government to enrich itself and to favour Israel. The actions of the oligarchy are underpinned by the morals of the Jewish faith and therefore the Jewish religion itself comes into question.

The Jewish religion fails to recognise Christianity and Islam as true religions while Christianity fails to recognise Islam as a true religion. Most Christians are therefore inclined to choose the side of the Jews when Jews take land from the Muslims in Palestine. The Jewish religion openly advocates the use of money as a tool of power to be used against non-Jews by charging interest on money.

Usury has helped a small group of oligarchs to acquire a large share of wealth and influence without producing useful goods or services. Usury is also the main cause of social inequality and the destruction of the living conditions on Earth. If usury is not abolished then civilised human existence may not be possible in the near future (see also: Building the future with natural money). If the morality of the Jewish religion and its most destructive product usury can be overcome, then a better future is possible.

Anti-Semitism can never be effectively combated if its true causes are ignored. When the usury financial system collapses and takes down society with it, many people will realise that that they have been robbed of everything they had and that Jews dominated the financial sector. In Islamic countries there is already much resentment over the actions of Israel. A potentially dangerous situation is brewing, which may have consequences for the Jews. If this threat is not defused, Jews may find themselves harassed, threatened and sometimes forced to leave their homes.

In this document the word Jews is used for people of the Jewish faith. The Jewish race is difficult to identify. Palestinians probably are more genetically Jewish than many people that call themselves Jews. The subject of Jews, their wealth and influence is also the domain of conspiracy theorists. Whenever there is money or power involved, the existence of conspiracies is inevitable. However people making up conspiracy theories mostly do not have insider knowledge. Therefore conspiracy theories are often speculative and cannot be proven.



All the nations of the Earth shall be blessed

History is a script and God was in control of everything all the time (see also: Incidents, accidents and coincidences). Therefore some unsettling conclusions are unescapable. All wars and killings that have taken place in history, were intended or at least accepted by God. Because we live in a virtual reality, we are not real in the eyes of God. To God we are only characters in a story.

Another conclusion that comes as a consequence, is that it was the intention of God to kill 6,000,000 Jews during World War II. Most people that died in the concentration camps did not commit any crimes. Many Jews consider themselves to be God's chosen people and therefore the obvious question is: Why were Jews killed in such large numbers? In this document I will also try to give some answers on this question.

In Genesis 18 God already told Abraham that all the nations of the Earth will be blessed:

[17] The Lord said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, [18] seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the Earth shall be blessed in him?"

In the eyes of God there are no special people. The Jews were already informed of this before they came into existence as a people. Because all the nations of the Earth shall be blessed, people that consider themselves to be chosen because of their descent or religion may become disappointed.

God favoured Jacob who outsmarted his brother (Gen. 26:29-34) and deceived his father (Gen. 27:5-29). The story of Jacob and Esau may have had a strong influence on the morality of the Jewish people. Being smart and taking advantage of others probably has helped the Jews to survive as a people for more than 3,500 years.



The root of all evil

By the 10th century most of Europe was under the rule of Christian monarchs who made Christianity the religion of their realms. The Catholic Church forbade Christians from charging interest to fellow Christians. Therefore the only source of loans were non-Christians such as Jews. While this status did not always lead to peaceful conditions for the Jewish people, they were the most compatible non-Christians for the position due to their shared devotion to God. While many Jews rose to prominence in these times, Judaism was mostly practiced in private to avoid persecution (see also: Wikipedia - Jews in the Middle Ages).

Jews could justify charging interest to Christians based on the following verses in Deuteronomy 23:

[19] You shall not charge interest to your brother, interest on money or food or anything that is lent out at interest. [20] To a foreigner you may charge interest, but to your brother you shall not charge interest, that the Lord your God may bless you in all to which you set your hand in the land which you are entering to possess.

Therefore the Jews charging interest to Christians did not consider Christians as their brothers but as foreigners that could be exploited. The Bible explicitly forbade usury, which is the charging of interest (see also: Scripture references to usury, interest). According to apostle Paul Jesus stated: "The love of money is the root of all evil" (1 Timothy 6:10). This most likely played a crucial part in creating the feelings of enmity of Christians towards Jews, which resulted in persecutions and expulsions.

Usury made it possible for governments to finance war with debt. If there was no interest on money, financing war with debt would not be possible because there was no compensation for the risk involved. Leaders that wanted to expand their power found bankers willing to lend money to them at interest. A documented example of debt based war financing are the Genovese public debts in the Middle Ages (see also: Giuseppe Felloni - Genova public debt reform). The debts could only be repaid if the wars were profitable or taxes were raised. In this way there is a direct link between usury banking, wars, government debt and high taxes dating back from the Middle Ages.



Predictions hinting at events to come

The Quran and the hadith speak of Jews sometimes in favourable terms and sometimes in unfavourable terms. Some verses in The Quran specifically warn the Jews such as:

[4:160] Due to their transgressions, we prohibited for the Jews good foods that used to be lawful for them; also for consistently repelling from the path of God. [4:161] And for practicing usury, which was forbidden, and for consuming the people's money illicitly. We have prepared for the disbelievers among them painful retribution.

[5:41] O you messenger (Mohammed), do not be saddened by those who hasten to disbelieve among those who say, "We believe," with their mouths, while their hearts do not believe. Among the Jews, some listened to lies. They listened to people who never met you, and who distorted the words out of context, then said, "If you are given this, accept it, but if you are given anything different, beware." Whomever God wills to divert, you can do nothing to help him against God. God does not wish to cleanse their hearts. They have incurred humiliation in this world, and in the Hereafter, they will suffer a terrible retribution.

The Quran verses also indicate that history is predetermined and must run its course. God intentionally diverted specific people to make them suffer a terrible retribution. Usury and the misuse of public money are transgressions specifically mentioned to be eligible for punishment.

Many people believe that Nostradamus predicted the rise of Adolf Hitler. Because the course of history is predetermined, this is possible in theory. A quatrain supposedly predicting the rise of Adolf Hitler is:

Century 2, Quatrain 24
Beasts ferocious from hunger will swim across rivers:
The greater part of the battle will be against the Danube,
The great one will cause it to be dragged in an iron cage,
When the German child will observe nothing.

The Latin word for Danube used in the quatrain is Hister, which resembles the name Hitler. This is the reason why many people think that the verse refers to Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler grew up in Linz, which is a city on the banks of the Danube. This most likely is not a coincidence. There are more quatrains written by Nostradamus that may refer to Adolf Hitler. However the vast majority of his prognostications are so ambiguous and vague that they could fit a great variety of events. Some people argue that Nostradamus was possessed by a daemon but his work resembles the Book of Revelation in ambiguity and vagueness. Therefore such a conclusion is not justified.

Nostradamus made many predictions and they can only be linked to historical events by human interpretation. Therefore it can never be proven that Nostradamus predicted specific events. It is said that Nostradamus intentionally obscured the quatrains through the use of symbolism and metaphor, as well as by making changes to proper names by swapping, adding or removing letters. The obscuration is claimed to have been done to avoid him being tried as a magician.



Jews and banking

Because Jews could charge interest to non-Jews based on their religion, some of them did get an important role in the banking sector. The Rothschilds were the most prominent banking family during the nineteenth century. They made their fortune by dealing in gold bullion, financing the war effort of Great Britain against Napoleon and lending money to governments in general. Around the Rothschilds many stories circulate, such as the Rothschilds having made a vast fortune by using early knowledge of the British victory at the Battle of Waterloo. Many of those stories are not based on facts and they may have been contrived by anti-Semites or conspiracy theorists.

The Rothschilds probably did understand that the bankers were the real power behind the scenes. A quote attributed to Amschel Bauer Mayer Rothschild is: "Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who makes its laws". This quote however is not documented. If Amschel Bauer Mayer Rothschild was a wise man then he would not have bragged about his powers in this way. There are a number of quotes circulating about banking that are attributed to prominent people but some of them are not adequately documented (see also: Quotes on banking).

Jews were not the only bankers and therefore the hatred against Jews must have been partly the result of envy or anti-Semitism in general. The banker JP Morgan was a prominent anti-Semite while he did not have moral objections against the practice of usury banking. Swiss bankers may have helped Adolf Hitler for the same reasons but most likely they only wanted to make a profit. Financing war is a major business of usury banking since the Middle Ages. The wars the United States are currently fighting are financed by the FED lending money to the banks at low interest rates so the banks can buy government bonds at higher interest rates and profit from it.

There is a direct link between usury banking, wars, government debt and high taxes so bankers were often seen as criminals that exploit and kill people for profit. Jews traditionally held a strong position in usury banking because their religion promotes the use of money as a means of exploiting non-Jews. This did not escape the attention of some prominent political thinkers. In his work On the Jewish Question, Karl Marx attributed a low moral consciousness to the Jewish religion and he equated practical Judaism to huckstering. Marx concluded that the Christians have become Jews in a practical sense and that mankind (both Christians and Jews) needs to emancipate itself from practical Judaism. Karl Marx correctly observed that Christians act contrary to what their religion teaches. Some Christians are aware of this (see also: Waragainstbeing.com - Part IV: Usury and The Love of Money).

Adolf Hitler could not have risen to power if there had not been many people that held similar views. There had been a strong sentiment against Jews in Europe for centuries. Many people thought that Jews form a secretive tribe obsessed with money that screws other people. The Dutch language has the word jodenbod, which means Jew's offer, to indicate a very low offer below the market price, which people in a desperate position may accept. The Dutch language also has the word jodenstreek, which means Jew's trick, for a dirty trick. It may therefore not be a coincidence that in the Netherlands 90% of the Jews have been deported during the World War II. The majority of the Dutch probably did not care what happened to them. Heroic stories about people hiding Jews did get much attention after the war and this may have distorted the official view on history.



Clash of civilisations

Huntington's view

According to Huntington the principal conflicts of global politics in the future will occur between nations and groups of different civilisations. He stated that the Western belief in the universality of Western culture is false, immoral and dangerous and that imperialism is the necessary logical consequence of universalism. Huntington also believed that the fundamental problem for the West is Islam, which is a different civilisation whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power. According to Huntington the West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion, but rather by its superiority in applying organised violence. He further stated that to understand current and future conflict, cultural rifts must be understood, and culture must be accepted as the locus of war. According to him Western nations will lose predominance if they fail to recognize the irreconcilable nature of cultural tensions.

The ideas of Huntington inspired a variety of Neoconservative and Zionist think tanks like the Project for the New American Century. The stated goal of the PNAC was to promote American global leadership. The PNAC strongly stressed the need for military force. The goal of regime change in Iraq remained the consistent position of PNAC. After the attacks of September 11, 2001 the Neocons seized the opportunity to promote an attack on Iraq. Nine days after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the PNAC sent a letter to President George W. Bush, advocating a determined effort to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq.

Many governments in the Middle East are not democratic. Leaders in Islamic countries often use Islam to justify their existence, even though their behaviour often conflicts with Islamic teachings (see also: Mail Online - 'BAE's Saudi slush fund and the girl entertainers'). The position of minorities in most Middle Eastern countries is worse than in most Western countries. Israel is often used as an excuse to divert attention away from wrongdoings in Islamic countries. Also a number of violent groups try to justify their deeds with Islam. Therefore Islam is sometimes used as a cover for a violent totalitarian ideology. On a regular basis people who call themselves Muslims kill innocent people in terrorist attacks.

This gave rise to the word Islamofascism (see also: Weeklystandard.com - What Is 'Islamofascism'?). Expressions of Islamofascism are the killing of the Dutch film maker Theo van Gogh and the death threats to the Danish cartoon maker Kurt Westergaard who made cartoons of the prophet Mohammed. During violent protests against the cartoons more than 100 people were killed. People that are critical of Islam and its practices often fear for their lives. The problem of many Muslims may just be they are lacking a sense of humour. Islamofascist groups also try to gain influence within the Muslim communities in the West.


The religious conflict

After the attacks of September 11, 2001, Huntington's views about Islam got more attention. Huntington failed to see that the clash of civilisations between the West and Islam was not cultural but religious in nature. Both Judaism, Christianity and Islam claim to be the true religion. Islamic warriors attacked the West, not because they believed that their culture is superior, but because they believed that the West is on the wrong path and does not respect the laws of God.

The conflict between Islam and the West is the most prominent, but it is part of a larger religious conflict. The religious conflict concentrates around the following issues:
- Judaism does not recognise Jesus and Mohammed as prophets of God and therefore religious Jews consider Christianity and Islam as false religions.
- Christianity does not recognise Mohammed as a prophet of God and therefore Christians consider Islam to be a false religion.
- Christians helped the Jews to take land from the Muslims in Palestine because they consider Islam to be a false religion.
- There is little political and religious freedom in many Islamic countries. In those countries Christians and Jews are severely restrained in practicing their religion.
- Islam as it is currently practiced by many Muslims gives women less freedoms than men.
- According to Muslims, the West is on the wrong path by practicing usury and not respecting the laws of God.

Most Christians forget that there is not only a religious conflict between Christianity and Islam but also between Christianity and Judaism. Many religious Jews do not respect Christianity (see also: Haaretz - Christians in Jerusalem want Jews to stop spitting on them). Rational arguments do not play a dominant role in religious conflicts, and especially those in the Middle East (see also: Independent - Robert Fisk's World: The never-ending exodus of Christians from the Middle East). All parties in the conflict have committed acts of violence. The propagandists of the parties in the conflict tend to concentrate their attention on the violence and atrocities committed by their opponents. Focusing on violence and atrocities while ignoring the underlying causes will not solve the conflict but only perpetuate it.


Money is the religion of the West

Heinrich Heine made an astute comment by saying "Money is the god of our times, and Rothschild is his prophet". This observation is even more valid today, because the West is promoting money as a religion. This religion is called Capitalism and is promoted as being "good". Within the money religion there are theological disputes. Most believers worship central bankers while others think that gold or economic cycles will bring salvation. At least they all share the belief that money should dominate our lives. The debate is often not rational (see also: Alternet - The Lunatics Who Made a Religion Out of Greed and Wrecked the Economy). As a consequence, truth has become an inconvenience (see also: Prison Planet - Good-bye: Truth has fallen and taken liberty with it).

On November 8, 2009, the CEO of Goldman Sachs Lloyd Blankfein said that his firm is doing God's work in trying to justify the high bonuses of the bankers shortly after the banks were bailed out with taxpayer money. Because of his Jewish religion he could make such a statement. Goldman Sachs and other firms may also have triggered and aggravated the financial crisis to profit from it (see also: Allgov.com - Goldman Sachs and Others Investigated for Betting Against Securities They Created). According to Matt Taibbi this is not an incident but part of a pattern (see also: Rollingstone.com - The Great American Bubble Machine). Goldman Sachs is a predominantly Jewish banking house that seems to show the highest degree of unscrupulous greed.

Goldman Sachs may have been involved in criminal and fraudulent activities (see also: Goldman Sachs Watch Page). Legal proceedings will result in Goldman Sachs paying a fine that is far less than the profits made in the activities that are considered to be criminal and fraudulent (see also: Goldman Sachs faces $1bn fine to draw line under fraud trial). Futhermore no executive or trader of Goldman Sachs is going to jail as a consequence of the legal action. Goldman Sachs allegedly also helped Greece hiding its debts and allegedly speculated against the Euro when the Greek debt crisis emerged. The practice of large scale currency speculation at the expense of the public was first practiced by George Soros, who reportedly made $1 billion during the 1992 Black Wednesday UK currency crisis. Soros was called "the man who broke the Bank of England". In 1997 the UK Treasury estimated the cost of Black Wednesday at £3.4 billion. It may not be a coincidence that George Soros is a Jew (see also: Wikipedia - George Soros).

The largest financial fraud in history has been committed by Bernard Madoff. In March 2009, Madoff pleaded guilty to 11 federal crimes and admitted to turning his wealth management business into a Ponzi scheme that defrauded thousands of investors of billions of dollars. The court appointed trustee estimated actual losses to investors of $18 billion. It may not be a coincidence that also Bernard Madoff is a Jew (see also: Wikipedia - Bernard Madoff). The difference between trading and stealing often is obscure. The ancient Greeks already recognised this. Hermes was the God of Commerce and the Market and patron of traders, merchants and thieves. It is therefore a sign of moral decay when traders like George Soros or Jesse Livermore are glorified.

Capitalism as it is promoted by the West today is the worship of Mammon. It is therefore most likely not a coincidence that Islamic warriors attacked the World Trade Center because it is the symbol of usury banking. The attacks show many coincidences linked to the number 11, which is the signature of God (see also: Incidents, accidents and coincidences - September 11 and Madrid terror attacks). Islamic warriors will remain motivated to perform acts of terrorism as long as the West promotes the worship of Mammon, helps the Jews to kill Muslims and take land from the Muslims in Palestine, meddles into the affairs of Islamic countries and invades those countries under false pretexts (see also: Salon.com - More cause and effect in our ever-expanding "war").



Israel betrays its closest allies

Introduction

The Israeli government shows signs of believing that Israel can use other nations as a tool for its own purposes. Israel is a small nation surrounded by Arabs who are generally hostile towards the Jewish state because Israel has taken their land. It is therefore understandable that many Jews think that the existence of Israel is not secure. This may explain why Israel does not shy away from betraying its closest allies. Many Jews consider themselves to be God's chosen people so Jews may find an additional justification for using and betraying their allies in their religion.

The United States is Israel's closest ally, but Israel betrayed the United States at least in the Lavon Affair (1954) and the Jonathan Pollard spy case (1987). Many people have doubts concerning the role of Israel in the sinking of the USS Liberty (1967), the suicide attack that killed 241 Marines in Beirut (1983) and the terror attacks of September 11 (2001). Also the Netherlands is a close ally of Israel but there are indications that Israel supports the Dutch politician Geert Wilders who is known for his strong stance against Islam. The rhetoric of Geert Wilders may destabilise the country.


Lavon Affair

The Lavon Affair was a plan to discredit Egypt's government, then headed by Gamal Abdel Nasser, by bombing theaters, post offices and U.S. and British institutions, and making it seem as though Egypt was behind the bombings (see also: Haaretz - MI figures out what went wrong in Lavon affair - 55 years later). The plan involved the killing of British and US citizens and then putting the blame on Egypt. The Haaretz article shows that after 55 years the Israeli Military Intelligence is still focusing on what went wrong in the operation.


Jonathan Pollard spy case

Jonathan Pollard stole more than 1 million highly-classified US documents and then sold those documents to Israel. Israel most likely gave many of those documents to the Soviet Union in exchange for continued Soviet permission for Jews to emigrate to Israel. A large number of American intelligence assets may have been eliminated as a result.

The US officials investigating the spy case stated that they had no hard evidence in the form of a document from an Israeli or a Soviet archive to demonstrate the link between Pollard, Israel, and the Soviet Union, but they also said that the documents that Pollard had been directed by his Israeli handlers to betray led them to no other conclusion (see also: Wikipedia - Jonathan Pollard).


Other spy cases

Leading Neoconservatives like Richard Perle, Douglas Feith and Stephen Bryen have all provided classified information to Israel. The investigations were halted and they could remain in office. FBI counter intelligence officer John Cole has reported on the frustration of his colleagues over the many cases of Israeli espionage that are dropped under orders from the Justice Department. He provides a conservative estimate of 125 worthwhile investigations into Israeli espionage in the US stopped due to political pressure from above.

A few spy cases got some media attention. AIPAC officials Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman passed classified Pentagon information on to an intelligence officer at the Israeli Embassy. The FBI set up a sting using Franklin and arrested them. The AIPAC officials escaped punishment. Ben-Ami Kadish was arrested in New Jersey in December 2008 for a handing over classified defence documents related to nuclear weapons and anti-missile defence systems. He was fined and given a suspended sentence.

Israel always features prominently in the annual FBI report called Foreign Economic Collection and Industrial Espionage. The 2005 report states that Israel has an active program to gather proprietary information within the United States. These collection activities are primarily directed at obtaining information on military systems and advanced computing applications that can be used in Israel’s sizable armaments industry. It adds that Israel recruits spies, uses electronic methods, and carries out computer intrusion to gain the information. The 2005 report concluded that the thefts eroded US military advantage, enabling foreign powers to obtain expensive technologies that had taken years to develop.


The attack on the USS Liberty

The Israeli attack on the USS Liberty during the Six-Day War probably was not an accident (see also: Wikipedia - USS Liberty incident). Some suspicious circumstances point at a cover up. Therefore many people believe that the Israeli Air Force deliberately attacked the vessel (see also: Stars and Stripes - A fair probe would attack Liberty misinformation). Only a proper investigation can reveal the truth.

The USS Liberty may have been there to monitor whether nor not Israel was keeping an agreement with the United States of not extending the war with Egypt to Syria and Jordan. Israel may have attacked the USS Liberty because it was not planning to keep the agreement and wanted to keep the United States uninformed of its troop movements to Syria and Jordan (see also: Veterans Today - Why Really The USS Liberty Was Attacked by Israel?).


Other possible cases of Israeli betrayal

In his book By Way of Deception Victor Ostrovsky, a former Israeli secret agent, claims that the Israelis had advance notice of the suicide attack that killed 241 Marines in Beirut in October 1983 but withheld the information from the United States in the hope that the attack would poison American Arab relations. According to Victor Ostrovsky Ronald Reagan was tricked into bombing Libya by means of a radio transmitter smuggled into Tripoli by the Mossad, which broadcasted messages designed to fool the United States into thinking Libya was about to launch a massive terror attack on the west.


The attacks of September 11, 2001

Many people believe that the US government is not telling the truth about the terror attacks of September 11. Theories brought up by conspiracy theorists are often logically inconsistent with verifiable facts and can be falsified. There is much questionable speculation and distortion of facts. Intelligence services may have played a role in this in order to discredit people who do not believe the official story. However the official story is also logically inconsistent with verifiable facts and can therefore also be falsified (see also: The Washington Times - Inside the Beltway). A number of facts indicate that the September 11 attacks may have been a false flag operation (see also: Wantoknow.info - 9/11 Information Center).

False flag operations have been planned in the past. America’s top military leaders drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in US cities to trick the public into supporting a war against Cuba in the early 1960s. Approved in writing by the Pentagon Joint Chiefs, Operation Northwoods even proposed blowing up a US ship and hijacking planes as a false pretext for war (see also: Wantoknow.info - Operation Northwoods Information Center).

A number of suspicious circumstances hint at Israeli involvement in the September 11 attacks. Reporters of the Herald Times investigated the leads linking Israel to the September 11 terror attacks (see also: Herald Times - Five Israelis were seen filming as jet liners ploughed into the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001 ...). Some of the suspicious circumstances are:
- Five Israeli citizens were seen filming, dancing and celebrating when the World Trade Center burned and crumbled. They were arrested and at least two of them were Israeli intelligence agents working for Mossad.
- According to a French intelligence report the Mossad agents were spying on Mohammed Atta and Marwan al-Shehi, two of leaders of the 9/11 hijack teams. The pair had settled in Florida, along with three other hijackers, after leaving Hamburg where another Mossad team was operating close by.
- The Mossad agents were driving a van from Urban Moving Systems. A warrant was issued for a search of the Urban Moving Systems premises in Weehawken in New Jersey but boxes of papers and computers had already been removed.
- After being questioned by FBI-agents the owner of Urban Moving Systems Dominick Suter suddenly departed from the United States and left no one acting as an agent (see also: New Jersey State Department - State Granted Access to Moving Company's Storage Facility).
- A US official noted that the assessment was that Urban Moving Systems was a front for the Mossad and operatives employed by it.
- The five Israelis were held in custody for 71 days before being quietly released.

The Mossad agents showed joy in seeing the loss of American lives. More leads link the Mossad to the September 11 attacks, but the facts mentioned above alone are sufficient cause for suspicion. Other explanations for the links between the Mossad and the September 11 attacks are possible, like the Mossad spying upon Islamic extremists and not knowing what they were planning. However debunkers of conspiracy theories often show a great deal of naivety in trying to refute more probable scenarios. It is known that Israeli intelligence forces do not shy away from tying up with Islamic terrorists (see also: Asia Times - Obama's Yemeni odyssey targets China). Many other terrorist attacks, like the Times Square bomb may therefore be the work of the Israeli secret services (see also: Veterans Today - Gordon Duff: Times Square bomb hoax, Israeli intel group shows it’s hand). At least it is certain that the Neoconservative and Zionist lobbyists succeeded in provoking the Iraq war using falsified evidence.

Shortly after September 11, 2001, a series of anthrax attacks took place in the United States. Those attacks may have played an important role influencing the attitudes towards Iraq. According to the FBI, the anthrax originated from a U.S. military lab (see also: Salon.com - A key British official reminds us of the forgotten anthrax attack). A thorough investigation never took place because the suspected perpetrator was found dead, which could be expected if such a high profile attack was an inside job.

What the Israeli involvement exactly was remains unclear because other parties like Wall Street firms and defence contractors also could benefit from the wars that followed. The oil industry, whose interests are closely linked to the Bush family, could profit the most because Saddam Hussein had nationalised the oil sector and kicked out foreign firms. Israel could benefit in two ways. First the public attention could be turned away from Jewish settlers taking Palestinian land. Second Israel's enemy Saddam Hussein could be eliminated in the Iraq war that followed. There are strong indications that the conspiracy includes people within the ranks of the US Government and the secret services. The conspirators may have thought they could get away with this without being punished.


Events in the Netherlands

The Dutch politician Geert Wilders believes that Islam is an ideology that conflicts with Western values. According to Wilders a moderate Islam does not exist. Because Islam means surrender (to God), a moderate Islam is a contradiction in terms. With his statement "I have enough of The Quran in the Netherlands: ban that fascist book" he tried to place himself upon the throne of God by declaring which religious texts are acceptable and which are not. Furthermore Wilders called the prophet Mohammed a barbarian, a mass murderer and a pedophile. According to Wilders several verses in The Quran call Muslims to oppress, persecute or murder Jews, Christians, other believers and non-believers, to rape and beat women and to use violence to establish a global Islamic state. Because of his statements Islamofascists threaten to kill Geert Wilders.

The picture Fitna made by Geert Wilders shows selected excerpts from verses of The Quran, interspersed with media clips and newspaper cuttings showing or describing acts of violence and hatred by Muslims. The film intends to demonstrate that The Quran motivates Muslims to hate all who violate Islamic teachings. According to the picture Islam encourages, among other things, acts of terrorism, antisemitism and violence against women and homosexuals.

The activities and the inflammatory statements of Geert Wilders have the potential of destabilising the Netherlands. Before he founded his Freedom Party PVV, his visits to the Israeli embassy caught the attention of the Dutch intelligence service AIVD (see also: Elsevier - AIVD tailed Wilders when visiting embassy). These visits are remarkable because Geert Wilders declared many times that Muslim immigrants should renounce dual citizenship because of a potential loyalty conflict. There may be Israeli involvement in the Freedom Party. If this is true, Israel may be involved in destabilising the Netherlands for its own benefit, even though the Netherlands is one of Israel's closest allies.



Zionism and Nazism are nearly identical ideologies

Because there is a sense of political correctness surrounding Jews that is reinforced by the atrocities committed by the Nazis during World War II, the Jewish religion and Zionism are not adequately analysed. Many Jews think of themselves as superior people and have no respect for non-Jews. Closer inspection reveals that Nazism and Zionism are nearly identical ideologies. The parallels between Zionism and Nazism are striking:
Zionism Nazism
Jews are God's chosen people Germans are superiour people (Übermenschen)
Gentiles can be exploited with the use of money Inferior people can be exploited to the benefit of the Third Reich
Jews must return to Israel Ethnicity is based on descent and homeland (Blut und Boden)
Jews colonise the occupied territories Germans need living space (Lebensraum)
Palestinians living in the occupied territories have bad living conditions and little freedom of movement Jews and other "undesirables" were put in concentration camps

Some rabbis call their followers to kill enemy children if they are considered to be a threat to Israel (see also: Haaretz - West Bank rabbi: Jews can kill gentiles who threaten Israel). This type of thinking is widespread among the Jewish settlers in Palestine. Israel and the Zionists have committed atrocities like the ethnic cleansing of Deir Yassin in 1948 (see also: The Independent - A massacre of Arabs masked by a state of national amnesia) and the war crimes in Gaza during operation Cast lead in the winter of 2008-2009.

Judaism like any other religion can be used to justify war but also to promote peace (see also: Globalresearch - Rabbis Condemn Israel for War Crimes Committed in Gaza). Many Jews that support Israel have objections to the war crimes Israel has committed. However in many conflicts war crimes are committed and the war crimes of Israel are not extraordinary. They are small compared to those of the Nazis during World War II.

Nevertheless the parallels between Zionism and Nazism probably are not a coincidence. Nazism looks so much like Zionism that it most likely was God's intention to show the Jews and the Zionists what the consequences of their religion and ideology can be. Usury is the main systemic driver behind the destruction of nature, poverty, exploitation, corruption and wars. Usury has killed millions of people and is about to destroy the living conditions of humanity on Earth. Therefore usury is a crime against humanity that even outstrips the war crimes of the Nazis. For thousands of years many Jews considered themselves to be superior people that have the right to exploit others for their purposes. This has to end.



Thought control

Introduction

Money is power more than anything else. Money commands states, armies and people. As long as the power of money remains out of sight, people will not question the power of banks, governments and the special interest groups surrounding them. To divert attention away from the powers behind the scenes, methods of thought control are implemented. Some of those methods are:
- Diversion: Attention can be diverted by coverage of non-essential issues like sports and celebrities. The American media have spent much time on topics like O.J. Simpson, Michael Jackson and Tiger Woods.
- Selective presentation: A selective presentation of facts can be used to create a certain picture. Nearly every viewpoint has facts supporting it. There is a selective presentation of facts when only facts supporting the viewpoint are mentioned while facts contradicting the viewpoint are ignored.
- Labeling: Labeling can be used to create a certain picture. For example: Palestinians attacking Israel are labeled as terrorists by some while others depict them as people resisting occupation. Israel is depicted as a terrorist state by some while others see Israel as a nation under threat surrounded by enemies.
- Airtime: By giving certain opinions more attention than other opinions, the media can create a certain picture. For example: if the Israeli viewpoint is aired more often than the Palestinian viewpoint, most people will believe the Israeli viewpoint. In this case factual evidence is not needed to create a certain picture.
- Hoaxes: A hoax is a false story. Hoaxes can be presented as news or as facts. For example: the existence of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction was a hoax.
- Propaganda: Propaganda is showing only one viewpoint and presenting this as the truth. For example: Many people see Foxnews as a prominent example of biased corporate media. Foxnews is implicitly acknowledging it is a propaganda channel by calling itself fair and balanced.

The methods of thought control mentioned above are well-known. Many people see through these methods and can identify them in situations where they are used. However the most important method of thought control escapes the attention of most people. It is the political debate and the use of trigger words. By creating and maintaining opposing opinions, attention can be driven away from essential issues so solutions remain out of sight. In this way trigger words can be used to make people react in a frenzy on situations without clear observation and thought.


Dialectic and political debate

According to Wikipedia dialectic (also called dialectics or the dialectical method) is a method of argument, which has been central to both Eastern and Western philosophy since ancient times. The word dialectic originates in Ancient Greece, and was made popular by Plato's Socratic dialogues. Dialectic is rooted in the ordinary practice of a dialogue between two or more people who hold different ideas and wish to persuade each other. The presupposition of a dialectical argument is that the participants, even if they do not agree, share at least some meanings and principles of inference.

Our political debate is shaped by Hegelian dialectic. The basic idea behind Hegelian dialectic is that solving a conflict of opposing sides will lead to progress. Hegelian dialectic, usually presented in a three-fold manner, was stated by Heinrich Moritz Chalybäus as comprising three dialectical stages of development: a thesis, giving rise to its reaction, an antithesis, which contradicts or negates the thesis, and the tension between the two being resolved by means of a synthesis.

The conflict of Capitalism versus Socialism or free market versus government was the fundamental theme in most of our political debate for over a century because wealth is not distributed based on need or economic achievement. Both ideologies state that they have the best intentions for mankind. However only understanding the underlying cause of a conflict can solve the conflict if both sides share the same basic principles. The underlying cause of the conflict between Capitalism and Socialism is usury, which is the charging of interest on money (see also: Money of the Natural Economic Order).

Usury results in a distribution of wealth that is not based on need or economic achievement. Socialists mistakenly believed that return on capital and therefore Capitalism was the cause of the exploitation of workers. The capitalists had to defend themselves against those allegations. In this way the thesis Socialism as an ideology gave rise to the antithesis Capitalism as an ideology. This resulted in a fierce political debate that lasted for more than a century. However the political debate was not resolved in a synthesis but only resulted in people taking sides.


The use of Hegelian dialectic

On the site Newworldrhinos.blogspot.com the following observation has been made:

In 1847 the London Communist League (Karl Marx and Frederick Engels) used Hegel’s theory of the dialectic to back up their economic theory of Communism. Now, in the 21st century, Hegelian-Marxist thinking affects our entire social and political structure. The Hegelian dialectic is the framework for guiding our thoughts and actions into conflicts that lead us to a predetermined solution. If we do not understand how the Hegelian dialectic shapes our perceptions of the world, then we do not know how we are helping to implement the vision. When we remain locked into dialectical thinking, we cannot see out of the box.

Hegel’s dialectic is the tool which manipulates us into a frenzied circular pattern of thought and action. Every time we fight for or defend against an ideology we are playing a necessary role in Marx and Engels’ grand design to advance humanity into a dictatorship of the proletariat. The synthetic Hegelian solution to all these conflicts can’t be introduced unless we all take a side that will advance the agenda. The Marxist’s global agenda is moving along at breakneck speed. The only way to completely stop the privacy invasions, expanding domestic police powers, land grabs, insane wars against inanimate objects (and transient verbs), covert actions, and outright assaults on individual liberty, is to step outside the dialectic. This releases us from the limitations of controlled and guided thought.

Karl Marx thought of class struggle as a dialectic conflict with a predetermined outcome. However the use of Hegelian dialectic will not necessarily promote the Communist agenda. It can also be used to create a corporate police state ruled by oligarchs. Under the rule of President Bush the United States progressed into this direction. Because the police state was not an issue of debate between the left wing liberals and the right wing conservatives, it could be implemented with the consent of the majority of both sides. Essential issues are decided without much debate because the political debate is not concentrated on them. The Hegelian dialectic controls our thought and actions by focussing the attention of the public on non essential issues. Because this dynamic is not correctly understood, this trend is not effectively countered.

As long as the political debate rages, powers behind the scenes can profit from this. In this way the population of a democratic country will become alienated of the political system. The control of the wealthy and powerful over society steadily increased by corrupting the political system while the strategic interests of the country are neglected (see also: New York Post - China's debt bomb). In this way their share of the wealth steadily increased at the expense of the ordinary people (see also: Fairfield University - The Distribution of Wealth in America) while poverty spreaded into the suburbs (see also:Brookings - The Suburbanization of Poverty: Trends in Metropolitan America, 2000 to 2008) and jobs became less secure (see also: Newsweek - The Disposable Worker). As a consequence the middle class is being wiped out (see also: Business Insider - The U.S. Middle Class Is Being Wiped Out: Here's the Stats to Prove It).

As long as people remain stuck in promoting political agendas, politics will not solve the problems of society because all ideologies including Capitalism have failed. Central in the ideology of Capitalism is that people who work hard and take risk should be rewarded. However this is not always a good idea, especially when this hard work and risk taking harms other people or nature. Furthermore Capitalism is like a game of Monopoly where a few end up with all the possessions, but this still seems to lie beyond the grasp of its proponents.


Trigger words

The result of Hegelian dialectic and political debate is that the use of trigger words activates predetermined responses from individuals depending on their political or religious views. The responses are based on belief systems that generate emotions like "this is good" or "this is evil". Some of those trigger words are: free markets, government intervention, Capitalism, Socialism, Nazism, racism, anti-Semitism, Jews, whites, blacks, gay marriage, abortion, Islam, Zionism, intelligent design, evolution theory, liberals and conservatives.

In the Netherlands the adjustment problems of Muslim imigrants in the Dutch society were not seriously debated for a long time because people raising the issue were often labeled as racists. Racism was a trigger word that blocked any rational discussion of the situation. Especially groups of aggressive and criminal young men of Moroccan origin cause trouble. Because of this right-wing extremists have succeeded in making Islam a trigger word so the issue still is not discussed in rational way. This makes it difficult to find a good solution.

The political debate in the United States is very effective in directing money away from the people to the oligarchic interests. The debate concentrates on whether or not the United States can afford to have a universal health care system or social security, which are items that benefit the people. The spending on the military, the police state and the wars that benefit the oligarchic interests are not questioned.

The working class in the United States has paid taxes for retirement in Social Security. However this money has not been saved but has been used to finance tax cuts for the rich (see also: Philstockworld.com - It’s the End of the World As We Know It). Now there is no money in the Social Security Trust Fund and some label Social Security as an "entitlement program" to create the impression that people living on Social Security have not paid taxes for it. Estate taxes are sometimes labeled "death taxes" to create the impression that the government is taking away money from hard working people while in reality people receiving inheritances almost never have worked for it.

The debate about health care reform in the United States is dragging on for 60 years now (see also: New York Times - Centrist, and Yet Not Unified). After World War II, President Truman proposed a government insurance plan that would cover everyone. Republicans and the American Medical Association labeled the plan as socialistic. Socialism was used as a trigger word to generate negative responses, which was enough to defeat Truman's plan.

Currently the problem of Islamic terrorism in the United States is exaggerated. Terrorism is not a significant cause of death in the United States while Islamic terrorism makes up only 6% of terrorist attacks (see also: Causes of death in the United States). Money spent on a guaranteed healthcare for all US citizens will save far more lives than money spent on the War on Terrorism. Trigger words like "soft on terrorism" generate emotions that block a rational discussion of the money spent on the military, the police state and the wars. The military spending often does not contribute to the security of the United States at all (see also: Nieman Watchdog - Obama gave a pass to out-of-control military spending).

The Zionists use anti-Semitism as a trigger word to gain the moral high ground by linking criticism on Israel to anti-Semitism (see also: AFP - Israel calls UN Gaza report 'anti-Semitic'). Labeling criticism on Israel as anti-Semitism is their method to end any serious debate on the issue. Because of the Holocaust the word anti-Semitism has a strong sense of evil surrounding it. The exploitation of the word anti-Semitism and the Holocaust by Zionists for their political purposes shows their lack of morality because Zionism and Nazism are nearly identical ideologies.

After World War II Fascism and Nazism have been the ultimate trigger words. Those words are used to label all kinds of situations depending on the the political agenda of the people using the word. According to Franklin Delano Roosevelt Fascism is the ownership of the government by private interests. Stephen Schwartz defines fascism as a violent totalitarian ideology to underpin the theory of Islamofascism. Because there are similarities between ideological principles and practical outcome, Zionism can also be seen as a form of Nazism.


Political parties

Political parties are institutions that need the political debate to justify their existence while the political debate itself distracts the attention away from important issues. They often identify themselves with ideologies that have failed and try to generate emotional responses by the use of trigger words to forward their political agendas. Furthermore power politics harm the interests of a country (see also: Rollingstone.com - The GOP's Dirty War). Political parties can be corrupted by special interest groups and corporations. In this way corruption becomes institutionalised. When the institution is corrupted, all people that want to have a career within the institution also need to engage in bribery and corruption.

In many Western European countries the role of money in political parties seems less predominant than in the United States, but this is not true. Also in Western Europe business interests influence political decisions in a significant way. There is a network of captains of industry and politicians called the Old Boys Network that runs the affairs in The Netherlands (see also: Nu.nl - 'Minister Zalm put pressure on Amsterdam'). Part of the Old Boys Network is the former union leader and Social Democrat Prime Minister Wim Kok, who once opposed high bonuses and called them exhibitionistic self enrichment. He became a strong supporter of high bonuses after he was appointed as a member of the Supervisory Board of the Dutch banking giant ING.

His successor Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende specifically praised the mentality of the Dutch East India Company VOC of the Seventeenth Century. The VOC was a government mandated private enterprise that combined trade with wars (see also: Wikipedia - Dutch East India Company). The VOC was the first multinational corporation in history. The same model of government mandated private enterprises is now applied in Iraq and Afghanistan. It may therefore not be a coincidence that the Netherlands supported the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and has sent troops to those countries.

Royal Dutch Shell, which is partly a Dutch company, did benefit enormously from the Iraq war. Shell succeeded in acquiring a large stake in the Iraqi oil assets (see also: Independent - Shell wins historic Iraq oil contract). Furthermore a brother of Jan Peter Balkenende is managing director for Tenaris (see also: International Association of Drilling Contractors - 2006 IADC Membership Directory), which is a supplier of tubes and related services for the world's energy industry that has acquired contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Wim Kok and Jan Peter Balkenende are only examples of how business interests dominate political decisions. These practices are widespread at all political levels within the mainstream political parties.



The United States is not a democracy

Introduction

Jews make up 2.5% of the population of the United States but according to Vanity Fair more than 50% of the 100 most powerful and influential people in American society are Jews (see also: Jewish World Review - Feel the power). Jews are also well organised. Organisations like the ADL and the AIPAC are very effective in influencing the government and the public opinion. Because Jews traditionally have an important role in the banking sector, they have a strong influence on Wall Street. Traditional banking families were the Seligmans, Lehmans, Goldmans, Sachs, Warburgs, Schiffs and Loebs. Their businesses have been merged into the banking firms that dominate Wall Street today. It may therefore not be a coincidence that 7 out of 10 people Max Keiser identified as the main culprits of the financial crisis are Jews (see also: Klokkenluideronline.nl - Max Keiser: “Stop drinking Coca Cola!”).

For the last two decades proteges of the predominantly Jewish banking house Goldman Sachs have often been Secretary of the Treasury. Goldman Sachs and other banks are also the owners of the FED. It may therefore not be a coincidence that the financial sector has captured the government of the United States and that the FED turns out to be secretive group that is deploying billions of dollars to favoured banks (see also: Bloomberg - Secret Banking Cabal Emerges From AIG Shadows).

Money plays an important role in the politics of the United States. Campaigns are often costly while special interest groups and corporations fund election campaigns. The result is that most politicians do not serve the people but serve the special interest groups and corporations that funded their campaigns. Goldman Sachs has contributed to the Democratic Party and the Obama campaign (see also: Rollingstone.com - The Great American Bubble Machine - Bubble #6: Global Warming). It may therefore not be a coincidence that a Goldman Sachs protege has become Secretary of the Treasury. The coup d'etat of the special interest groups and corporations has recently been completed by a Supreme Court ruling that removes all restrictions on political campaign funding.

The United States is therefore not a democracy. The United States can be considered as a Zionist dictatorship of oligarchs because of the following:
- US Congress is bought and paid for by special interest groups and corporations;
- Jewish and oligarchic interests are in control of the US Congress;
- Jewish interests determine who can be part of the United States government and who can not;
- Jewish and oligarchic interests control the United States media;
- Jewish and oligarchic interests exercise thought control over public opinion in the United States;
- the election process in the United States is seriously flawed;
- war can be used as an excuse to restrict freedoms and
- the justice system serves the oligarchic interests.


US Congress is bought and paid for

According to Senator Sanders, the US Congress is bought and paid for by special interest groups and corporations (see also: Alternet.org - Senator Sanders Unfiltered: US Congress Bought and Paid For):
- Wall Street and big financial institutions have spent over $5 billion in campaign contributions and in lobbying activities. It may therefore not be a coincidence that Wall Street was able to convince Congress to deregulate their industry (see also: 321gold.com - America: 'Sold Out' for $5.2 Billion).
- Since 1998 the pharmaceutical industry has spent over $1.6 billion on lobbying and they employ over 1,100 lobbyists. It may therefore not be a coincidence that citizens of the United States pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.
- The United States are the only country in the industrialised world that does not have a national health care plan guaranteeing health care to all people. It may not be a coincidence that since 1990, the health care industry has spent over $850 million dollars in campaign contributions.
- Over the last decade the defence industry has spent more than $447 million on lobbying and made $144 million in campaign contributions. It may not be a coincidence that the United States spends by far the most on the military in the world.

A former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund claimed that the financial sector has captured the government of the United States (see also: Atlantic - The Quiet Coup). According to him any recovery will fail unless the financial oligarchy that is blocking essential reform will be eliminated. Because US Congress is bought and paid for, this most likely will not happen without ending the current political system (see also: Independent - Johann Hari: This corruption in Washington is smothering America's future).

Throughout the financial reform debate the finance industry was spending an estimated $1.4 million per day on lobbyists to influence Congress (see also: Institute for America's Future - Big Bank Takeover) with considerable success (see also: Rollingstone - Wall Street's War) so the outcome seems to be a relief for Wall Street firms (see also: New York Times - As Reform Takes Shape, Some Relief on Wall Street). The core problem of fraud has not been touched at all (see also: Yahoo - "A Gigantic Ponzi Scheme, Lies and Fraud": Howard Davidowitz on Wall Street) and even something as modest as auditing the FED seems impossible in the current political system (see also: MSNBC - Fed dodges bullet as House drops audit idea).


Jewish and oligarchic interests are in control of the US Congress

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is one of the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington, DC, and its critics have stated it acts as an agent of the Israeli government with a stranglehold on the US Congress. AIPAC lobbies for financial aid from the United States to Israel, helping to procure up to three billion in aid yearly making Israel the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign assistance since World War II. Additionally, the result of AIPAC's efforts include numerous exceptional provisions that are not available to other American allies. According to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), these include providing aid as all grant cash transfers, not designated for particular projects.

The use of money and favours is part of the activities of AIPAC. In August 2009, 56 members of the US House of Representatives traveled to Israel together with their spouses in the largest AIPAC-sponsored fact-finding visit by American politicians ever conducted. If US representatives voice opinions that do not comply with the Zionist line of thinking, the Israel lobby often uses its influence to destroy their careers. For example U.S. House of Representative Dennis Kucinich spoke to his colleagues for two minutes in an effort to make them not voting against the Goldstone Report reporting on Israeli war crimes in Gaza. On November 9, 2009, the Israel Lobby forced the withdrawal of Kucinich as the keynote speaker for the Palm Beach County (Florida) Democratic Party's annual fundraising dinner. County Commissioner Burt Aaronson called Kucinich an absolute horror.

Because more than 50% of the 100 most powerful and influential people in American society are Jews while the US Congress is bought and paid for by special interest groups and corporations, it may not be a coincidence that the US Congress condemned the UN Goldstone Report with 344 to 36 votes, despite the fact that the Goldstone Report is credible and well documented (see also: Intifada Palestine - Why the Goldstone Report matters). This demonstrates that US Congress is not only corrupt but also under Zionist control. It may therefore also not be a coincidence that the September 11 terrorist attacks and the attack on the USS Liberty have never been seriously investigated.


Jewish interests determine who can be part of the United States government and who can not

Every appointee to the American government must endure a thorough background check by the American Jewish community (see also: Haaretz - American Jews eye Obama's 'anti-Israel' appointees). This is not a democratic process. In the case of Obama's government in particular, every criticism against Israel made by a potential government appointee has become a catalyst for debate about whether appointing another leftist offers proof that Obama does not truly support Israel. For example protests by the American Jewish community helped foil the appointment of Chaz Freeman to chair the National Intelligence Council, citing his "anti-Israel leaning".

The nomination of Hannah Rosenthal to head the Office to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism in the Obama administration lead to a fierce debate. Shortly after the announcement of Rosenthal's nomination, conservative Jewish web sites began to attack her, some of them declaring that Obama appointed an anti-Israeli to fight anti-Semitism. In one of her articles, Rosenthal criticized conservative voices in the Jewish community who she accused of taking over the discourse regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "It's a scary time, with people losing the ability to differentiate between a Jew, any Jew, and what's going on in Israel", Rosenthal said.


Jewish and oligarchic interests control the United States media

The research staff of National Vanguard Books investigated the ownership of the US media (see also: The National Alliance - Who Rules America?). It turned out that most US media are under Jewish ownership. The Jewish and oligarchic control over the US media is nearly complete. The most important findings of the National Vanguard research are mentioned below.

The largest US media conglomerate in the US today is Time Warner. Warner, founded by the Jewish Warner brothers in the early part of the last century, rapidly became part of the Jewish power base in Hollywood. Speaking of the initial merger of Time, Inc. with Warner, Jewish writer Michael Wolff said in New York magazine in 2001 "since Time Inc.'s merger with Warner ten years ago, one of the interesting transitions is that it has become a Jewish company". AOL is the largest Internet service provider in the world, with 34 million U.S. subscribers. It is now being used as an online platform for the content from Time Warner. Time Warner owns 50 magazines including Time, Life, Sports Illustrated and People. Book publishing ventures include Time-Life Books, Book-of-the-Month Club, Little Brown and many others.

The second-largest media conglomerate in the US today is the Walt Disney Company. Its leading personality and CEO, Michael Eisner, is a Jew. Disney owns several television production companies (Walt Disney Television, Touchstone Television, Buena Vista Television) and cable networks with more than 100 million subscribers altogether. The Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group includes Walt Disney Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, Miramax Films, and Caravan Pictures. Michael Eisner also owns the ABC television network, which in turn owns ten TV stations in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Houston. In the United States ABC has 225 affiliated TV stations, over 2,900 affiliated radio stations and produces over 7,200 radio programs. ABC owns 54 radio stations and operates 57 radio stations, many in major cities such as New York, Washington and Los Angeles.

The third-largest media conglomerate in the US today is Viacom headed by Sumner Redstone, a Jew. Melvin A. Karmazin, another Jew, was number two at Viacom until June 2004, holding the positions of president and chief operating officer. Karmazin remains a large Viacom shareholder. Replacing Karmazin as co-presidents and co-COOs are a Jew, Leslie Moonves, and Tom Freston, a possible Jew. Viacom produces and distributes TV programs for the three largest networks, owns 39 television stations outright with another 200 affiliates in its wholly-owned CBS Television Network, owns 185 radio stations in its Infinity radio group, and has over 1,500 affiliated stations through its CBS Radio Network. It produces feature films through Paramount Pictures.

The New York Times was purchased in 1896 by a wealthy Jewish publisher, Adolph Ochs. His great-great-grandson, Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., is the paper's current publisher and the chairman of the New York Times Co. Russell T. Lewis, also a Jew, is president and chief executive officer of The New York Times Company. Michael Golden, another Jew, is vice chairman. Martin Nisenholtz, a Jew, runs their massive Internet operations. The Wall Street Journal is owned by Dow Jones & Company, Inc., a New York corporation that also publishes 33 other newspapers and the weekly financial tabloid Barron's. The chairman and CEO of Dow Jones is Peter R. Kann, who is a Jew. Kann also holds the posts of chairman and publisher of the Wall Street journal.


Jewish and oligarchic interests exercise thought control over public opinion in the United States

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is an international non-governmental organisation based in the United States of America. Describing itself as the nation's premier civil rights/human relations agency, the ADL states that it fights anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry, defends democratic ideals and protects civil rights for all. Also it advocates for Israel with policymakers, the media and the public and defends the security of Israel and Jews worldwide.

The goal of protecting democratic and civil rights enables the ADL to gain a moral high ground which then is used to defend Israel, a country that has violated those principles on several occasions. The ADL has opposed resolutions like the 1975 United Nations resolution that had equated Zionism and racism, despite obvious similarities between them. The situation in Israel and Palestine is often compared with the apartheid that existed in South Africa. It is therefore striking that Israel probably was the only country that was prepared to help the apartheid regime in South Africa to obtain nuclear weapons (see also: Telegraph - Israel 'offered to sell South Africa nuclear weapons'). Viewed in this way the ADL effectively promotes racism in the form of Zionism. The Simon Wiesenthal Center states to have similar goals as the ADL, such as promoting tolerance, but some of their actions are not very helpful to achieve this (see also: Antiwar.com - Museum of Tolerance Desecrates Graves).

An ADL campaign silenced on-campus criticism of Israel’s December 2008 assault on Gaza. At the University of California Santa Barbara, ADL-initiated charges were lodged against sociology Professor William Robinson. The disciplinary action dragged on until June 24th when 100 professors and 20 department heads demanded an end to all proceedings. The ADL and the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles coordinated the assault on Robinson after he shared with students from his globalisation website a photo essay critical of Israel.

Zionist pressure groups like the AIPAC, the ADL and the Simon Wiesenthal Center operate like packs of hyenas that single out and hunt down individuals that do not meet their standards before they are able to reach an influential position in the government, the media or the scientific community. According to Paul Craig Roberts the Israel Lobby’s opposition to Hannah Rosenthal shows that no moral person can survive the Israel Lobby’s blackball.

It may therefore not be a coincidence that on September 23, 2003, the ADL awarded the Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi the ADL's distinguished statesman award at the Tribute to Italy Dinner. Like the ADL Berlusconi uses his power to silence criticism (see also: Financieele Dagblad - Ban on TV news shows). Furthermore Berlusconi is embroiled in a number of corruption affairs while bribes are also used by Jewish interest groups to influence the politics of the United States.

The Zionists also use the US Government to exercise thought control. The Office To Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism is a part of the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Affairs (DRL) at the United States Department of State. It is headed by the Special Envoy To Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism (SEAS). The office advocates U.S. policy on anti-Semitism both in the United States and internationally, develops and implements policies and projects to support efforts to combat anti-Semitism. The United States government has a department to combat anti-Semitism specifically while other forms of racism are not specifically targeted.


The election process in the United States is seriously flawed

The election process in the United States has serious shortcomings (see also: Wantoknow.info - Elections Information Center). The most important of those shortcomings are:
- Cases of election fraud in the United States that can be proven are not seriously investigated by the authorities.
- Registration of voters in the United States offers opportunities for fraud.
- The use of computerized voting machines makes the election process unverifiable and prone to fraud.
- The media sometimes play an important role in eliminating candidates that may be harmful to the ruling oligarchy.
- Politicians that pose a threat to the ruling oligarchy are sometimes killed.

Both political parties in the United States have committed elections fraud but this issue has never seriously investigated by the authorities, leaving the impression that election fraud is used by the ruling oligarchy to control the election process. James and Kenneth Collier investigated the issue and published a book about the subject in 1992. The book was not offered by the major book chains. Registration of voters in the United States often leads to controversy and offers opportunities for fraud. Excluding certain categories of people from voting only complicates the process which offers even more opportunities for fraud.

Computerized voting machines are used in the United States and some other countries. Most voting machines leave no paper trail and are therefore unverifiable. Some voting machines may have been secretly programmed to make election fraud possible. In the United States the software of voting machines is not open to scrutiny by election officials or computer experts. Many countries and some states in the United States have banned voting machines because they make elections unverifiable. The Republican ties of several leading executives in the companies providing the voting machines cast further doubt on the integrity of the voting machines used in the United States. It is therefore probably not a coincidence that a voting machine with a glitch that gave Bush extra votes during the presidential elections was found in Ohio in 2004 (see also: CNN.com - Glitch gave Bush extra votes in Ohio). Ohio was a crucial swing state that determined the outcome of the election. There may have been more voting machines with similar glitches in Ohio but the issue has not been investigated.

The media sometimes played an important role in eliminating candidates that were not fit to serve the ruling oligarchy. On December 1, 2003, Howard Dean who opposed the war in Iraq was ahead by twenty points in the polls when he appeared on Hardball with Chris Matthews and said that he intended to break up the giant media enterprises. From that point on Howard Dean was consistently labeled unelectable by the media. Yet there was no tangible basis for that assertion. At the beginning of 2004, a poll conducted by Time Magazine showed that Dean trailed Bush by six points. That was a smaller deficit than Gore faced shortly before the general election in 2000. His campaign was finally destroyed when a rallying cry to inspire his supporters was taken out of context and was repeated endlessly on the American media (see also: U.S. News - The Battle Cry That Backfired on Howard "The Scream" Dean).

Politicians that posed a threat to the ruling oligarchy may have been eliminated. An example of this may have been the death of Paul Wellstone who died in a plane crash 11 days before the 2002 elections. This accident happened two years after Melvin Carnahan died in a plane crash just weeks before the elections. Both Wellstone and Carnahan were very progressive Democrats. Wellstone had been projected to win the election. His Republican rival went on to take the Senate seat. The balance in the Senate for the years 2002 to 2004 was 51 Republicans, 48 Democrats, and one independent. If both Wellstone and Carnahan had not been killed the balance probably would have been 50 Democrats, 49 Republicans and one independent. This would have significantly changed what happened in Congress and in the US, where the presidency and both houses of Congress were Republican controlled over those two years. Wellstone died under suspicious circumstances (see also: www.Fromthewilderness.com - Was Paul Wellstone Murdered?).


War can be used as an excuse to restrict freedoms

War is often used as an excuse to restrict freedoms. To combat terrorism the US Patriot Act was enacted but the threat of terrorism in the United States may have been exagerated (see also: Causes of death in the United States). The Patriot Act gave the US government increased policing powers such as the following:
- The government may search and seize Americans' papers and effects without probable cause to assist terror investigation.
- The government may jail Americans indefinitely without a trial.
- To assist terror investigation, the government may monitor religious and political institutions without suspecting criminal activity.
- The government may monitor conversations between attorneys and clients in federal prisons and deny lawyers to Americans accused of crimes.
- The government may prosecute librarians or keepers of any other records if they tell anyone the government subpoenaed information related to a terror investigation.
- Americans may be jailed without being charged or being able to confront witnesses against them.

Until now the freedom of expression in the United States has not been harmed in a meaningful way. However should the US government come under serious pressure then it may use its policing powers to restrict the freedom of expression of its citizens. Israel is doing this after the Israeli government has come in a difficult position because of the Goldstone Report that was critical of Israel's actions in Gaza (see also: Antiwar.com - Israel Crushes Local Dissent, Attacks Global Criticism).


The legal system serves the oligarchic interests

The legal systems of nearly all developed countries tend to favour the ruling class and the rich. Law has become increasingly complex because society has become increasingly complex. This situation tends to favour people that have the best information or the best advisors and lawyers. Justice is often not done because of procedural issues or political pressure. Over time the connection between law and justice has become increasingly remote and sometimes completely lost. Also business interests may have an influence on the decisions of judges (see also: Yahoo - Judge who overturned drilling moratorium reported owning stock in drilling companies).

Many lawyers have a low sense of morality. If they succeed in keeping a criminal out of jail then they seem to consider this to be a job well done. Trial lawyers try to make money out of frivolous lawsuits (see also: Foxnews.com - Tort Reform and Medical Practice). This results in a higher cost of living. In many cases the actions of lawyers make the lives of other people unpleasant or even miserable. They often seem to consider lying and cheating as a part of their jobs. It may therefore not be a coincidence that a disproportionate number of American Jews have become lawyers (see also: Journal of Law and Religion - Reflections on the American Jewish Lawyer).

In some high profile cases like Enron and Madoff perpetrators of fraud have been jailed. Those cases did get a lot of media attention. However most crimes committed by the oligarchs are not properly investigated and oligarchs can commit crimes nearly with impunity. If you are a whistleblower, then you are the most likely candate for jail time. For example the whistleblower Bradley Birkenfeld who exposed a tax evasion scheme in the United States was the only one sentenced to prison (see also: Democracynow.org - Why Is the Whistleblower Who Exposed the Massive UBS Tax Evasion Scheme the Only One Heading to Prison?).

In the Netherlands a construction fraud that may have costed the Dutch taxpayer billions of Euros came to light because the whistleblower Ad Bos provided a shadow bookkeeping system of a construction company. Ad Bos was the only person sentenced in the construction fraud case. It may therefore not be a coincidence that the director of the construction lobby Eelco Brinkman had been a senior politician in the ruling Christian Democratic Party. In 2006 the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant named him as the most influential lobbyist in The Netherlands.

Cases of Israeli espionage and treason by Zionists in the US government and secret services have often been dropped after political pressure from the Justice Department. Only Jonathan Pollard did have to serve a long sentence in prison. Also the events surrounding the September 11 terrorist attacks are not thouroughly investigated. There are many traitors in the offices of the US government institutions (see also: Larryflynt.com - Sibel Edmonds: The traitors among us).

A recent Supreme Court ruling removed all restrictions on corporate spending on political elections and lobbyists (see also: Financial Times - Critics contend US lobbyists dealt free hand). This completed the coup d'etat of the oligarchs in the United States. It also demonstrates that the legal system did nothing to prevent this from happening and that the legal system serves the oligarchic interests. The Supreme Court ruling came as a surprise to those that did not consider the possibility of the judges of the Supreme Court being bribed. However it is only rational to spend a few millions on the Supreme Court to safeguard the billions invested in politicians.



The changeover

Introduction

The Jewish and oligarchic interests have pervaded the government, the political system, the media and the legal system in the United States, while the government has become an oppressive force that directs money from the people into the hands of the oligarchs. Therefore any attempt to reform the the political system in such a way that it serves the interest of the people without eliminating the Jewish and oligarchic interests is doomed to fail (see also: Marketwatch - Six investing rules for a worst-case scenario). Usury is the main systemic driver behind poverty, exploitation, corruption, the destruction of nature and wars. Therefore any attempt to reform the economy in such a way that it serves the interest of the people without ending usury is also doomed to fail.

The current usury financial system can be ended because it is inefficient and rewards unproductive people. Therefore it is a matter of time before the Natural Financial System will replace it. The end of usury and a changeover to the Natural Financial System will help to achieve the following:
- the rebuilding of wealth and the strengthening of the middle class by a constant economic growth and a distribution of wealth that is more even;
- the end of the stranglehold of banks and governments and their affiliated oligarchic interests over people;
- a reduction of the use of natural resources and the end of the destruction of the living conditions on Earth;
- a reduction of poverty and the end of the exploitation of poor people by ending the "competition of everybody agains everybody" resulting in outsourcing of jobs to low wage countries;
- a reduction in the number of wars;
- a reduction in migration of poor people to rich countries.

It is important to realise that Judaism is a problem and not an evil. Religious Jews believe in God like Christians and Muslims. Most Jews have a moral concience like everyone and they are often unaware of the problematic nature of the morals of their religion Judaism with regard to honesty, money and trade. Most Jews are not part of the oligarchy and they are also exploited. Furthermore the oligarchy is not exclusively Jewish. It is only a matter of necessity to identify Judaism as a problem because it is not possible to end the rule of the oligarchs, the Zionist dictatorship in the United States, the religious wars and the destructive force of usury if the role of Judaism and its morals are ignored.


The United States probably will be the first country to change

God planted messages in pop-music lyrics (see also: Messages in pop music). Therefore the songs Democracy of Leonard Cohen [1], First we take Manhattan of Leonard Cohen [1] and Long road out of Eden of the Eagles [1] suggest that the United States will be the first country to change. Because the economy of the United States is at the verge of a debt collapse, while the political system and the legal system are corrupted, the United States is a good candidate for being the first country for such a change. The United States government seems to be clueless and out of touch with reality so social unrest is brewing (see also: Prisonplanet - Celente predicts revolution, food riots, tax rebellions by 2012). The change may start in a small community like Wörgl, Austria in 1932. If there is no backing of the central government, then the new currency may be introduced as gift certificates to avoid legal issues, like it is done in Groningen in the Netherlands (see also: BNR - Groningen returns to use of 'Guilder').



The song Sleepwalking of Gerry Rafferty suggests that the Natural Financial System will be implemented [3]. The Natural Financial System will end the stranglehold of banks, governments and affiliated oligarchic interests over people. The Natural Economy addresses social needs better while at the same time it rewards economic achievement more. In the Natural Economy there is full employment without government intervention (see also: Money of the Natural Economic Order). The Natural Economy will produce constant economic growth at maximum potential. Therefore the Natural Financial System will end the current financial system in competition because of its higher efficiency.


The Jewish and oligarchic control must be eliminated

If the Natural Financial System will be implemented most oligarchic structures will crumble because they cannot adapt to the new economic model. If the United States is willing to implement the Natural Economy then the Jewish and oligarchic interests ruling the United States should be eliminated on beforehand because otherwise they will use all means at their disposal to frustrate and block the change. Legal proceedings and political debate will only drag down the process. We have to face the fact that the United States is not a free market democracy but can be considered as a Zionist dictatorship of oligarchs. Also there are clear signs of high treason by Zionists in secret services and other sensitive positions.

The oligarchs have done a far better job in destroying the United States than Osama Bin Laden did. George W. Bush already said: "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." It may have been a slip of the tongue but at least it was true.

The ruling oligarchy is a pervasive power structure that cannot be toppled using a conventional approach. Efforts to reform the financial system or to audit the FED and criminal investigations into the acts of Wall Street banks will not make a serious dent into the oligarchic power structures. Therefore an unconventional approach is needed that is also comprehensive. The ruling Jewish and oligarchic interests have shown a low moral consciousness. They kill people only for profit and therefore they most likely will try to kill people that pose a threat to them. Whatever is necessary must be done to remove them from power. This is a dangerous and mean game and the song Clean Shirt in Paris of The Nits may refer to this [3]. Most likely it will mean a revolution (see also: The Rutherford Institute - The State of the Nation: I am afraid).

The US President can proclaim a National Emergency (see also: Sourcewatch.org - Establishing martial law in the United States) which then can be used to restore democracy by dismantling the police state and eliminating the oligarchic control over the United States. This option most likely is less bloody than an outright revolution. After proclaiming a National Emergency, the US President should take a number of steps.

The Jewish and oligarchic control over the United States government should be ended by not allowing people affiliated to those interests to have key positions in the government. It may be necessary to temporarily exclude Jews in general from key positions in government unless it is clear that they are not and most likely will never be traitors to the United States.

The Jewish and oligarchic control over the United States Congress and the Senate should be eliminated. Only 36 representatives in Congress have shown that they have not succumbed to the Zionists. Therefore the US Congress has lost all credibility because it has committed treason to the United States. The situation in the Senate most likely is the same. Those institutions should be disbanded, the traitors should be imprisoned and new elections must be organised.

The Wall Street control over the United States government should be ended by not allowing people in government that have been employees of Wall Street firms or have ties with them. Currently the treasury is run by a Goldman Sachs protege while Goldman Sachs may have been involved in criminal and fraudulent activity. Usury can be considered as a crime against humanity because of its consequences. Usury banks can therefore be considered as criminal organisations that should be outlawed.

The Wall Street firms that own the FED should be eliminated and their assets should be confiscated because those banks have used the FED to enrich themselves. The FED is an unconstitutional organisation so the banks owning the FED have violated the constitution. An audit of the Fort Knox gold depository may offer an opportunity for apprehending more individuals for fraud because there may be less gold in Fort Knox than officialy stated (see also: Times Online - Is there any gold inside Fort Knox, the world's most secure vault?) and the bars in Fort Knox may be fake (see also: Pakistan Daily - Fake gold bars in Bank of England and Fort Knox).

Traders and executives that have been involved in derivative deals that benefited banks should be jailed unless they can prove that their clients did understand all the possible consequences of the deal. Banks have a duty to care for their clients so clients are not exposed to products and deals they do not understand. Not doing so is criminal negligence.

The wealth of the oligarchs should be confiscated. They have made their money in an economy based on usury and a corrupted political system that favoured them so their wealth is stolen from the working class. Oligarchs that have not committed crimes can keep a small portion of their wealth. This is enough to have a good life. The government should pursue their wealth actively using the military and secret services if needed. Laws protecting the property rights of rich people should be annuled. The confiscated assets should be used to reduce public debts.


The elimination of Zionism

Because Zionism and Nazism are essentially the same ideology, Zionism should be crushed like Nazism. There must be no place for Zionism or any other race based superiority ideology. There is no other option than to eliminate Zionism because Zionism and Nazism are aggressive ideologies that cannot be contained with appeasement. Zionist pressure groups operate like packs of hyenas that single out and hunt down individuals that do not meet their standards before they are able to reach an influential position. Therefore Zionist pressure groups should be targeted in a similar fashion so they will crumble and cease to exist. Zionists trying to voice their opinions should be aggressively attacked and labeled as traitors to the United States.

The United States may have taken advanced security measures to protect the government and intelligence services but those measures have no use when the government and the intelligence services are infested with traitors. It is therefore necessary to round up and imprison the following types of individuals for treason or high treason: Neoconservatives from the Bush administration, lobbyists working for AIPAC and other organisations that have influenced the US Government and the US Congress to favour Israel or to start the Iraq war, representatives or any other government officials that have taken bribes from Zionist lobbyists and wealthy individuals that supported the Zionist lobby groups financially. Treason is not difficult to prove because it is already proven that Israel betrayed the United States. Therefore advocating for Israel equals to treason. A proper investigation of the September 11 attacks may offer an opportunity for apprehending more individuals for treason.


Decentralisation

The introduction of the Natural Financial System with local currencies will decentralise economic development (see also: Money of the Natural Economic Order - Stimulating local trade). As a consequence centralised structures like the Federal Government and multinational corporations cannot survive in their current form. Within the Natural Economy governments cannot borrow money above their capacity to repay because there is no interest on money to pay for the risk of default. There will be constant growth without crisis in the Natural Economy and government income will rise dramatically so it will be feasible for governments to balance their budgets.

The Natural Financial System can make society less complex so many issues can be resolved locally. The structural problems in the legal system that tend to favour the rich can be tackled if citizens are willing to accept that locally elected officials have the jurisdiction to solve most conflicts with a minimum of codified law. In this way reasonable solutions can be found without legal and procedural issues preventing justice from being done. As a consequence lawyers will become superfluous in most cases. Currently many laws are intended to reduce risk for citizens. Those laws tend to favour big businesses above small businesses because of the investments that are needed to comply with those laws. Furthermore those laws often lead to legal proceedings that mostly benefit lawyers. People should accept risk as a part of life and should not expect that the government or the law are there to take away all those risks.

Multinational corporations can make a profit in one country and pay taxes in another country. In this way there is a competition between countries to have the lowest taxes for corporations. This results in ordinary people paying the taxes while rich people evade them. Every country should be free in determining its tax levels. This can only be realised when taxes are paid where profits are made. This most likely means the end of multinational corporations in their current form.


Restoring democracy

Elections can only be democratic when the voting process is completely verifiable. This means that elections should be done without the use of voting machines or with machines that are completely verifiable while every case of elections fraud should be seriously investigated. In many countries there is a population register that is used to send eligible voters a card in the mail. This method is far less prone to fraud than registering voters before every election. Many US citizens have problems with centralised government registers while corporations often have far more information about them than will be registered in a centralised population register.

Political parties often identify themselves with ideologies that have failed. Furthermore corruption and party discipline reduce the problem solving capabilities of the political system. Often the political process of getting support and bargaining does not solve problems even when good solutions are straightforward. Therefore political parties can better be disbanded. It may be better to let only independent people run for an office based on their credentials and a program of principles and priorities they adhere to. Independent people can also be corrupted but corruption is less likely to become a structural problem because the people in office are not part of an institution. Money should not play a major role in political campaigns. Therefore the size of individual donations as well as the total sum of money spent in a campaign should be maximised.

The people must always be in control of the government. There must be an option to organise a referendum like it is aleady done in Switzerland. In this way the people have the option to introduce legislation or to reject proposed legislation. This could solve controversial issues far more efficiently than the political debate does. For example, the health care debate in the United States became heated and people became angry (see also: CNN - Health care bill anger a sign of the times?). If a country is planning to introduce the Natural Financial System, this should be ratified by a referendum.

The media are important for the public domain. To ensure that the media remain independent, the following rules regarding ownership and controlling stakes should be adhered:
- Media enterprises should have a specific reach, which can be the community, the state or the nation. A media enterprise cannot operate on more than one level.
- Media enterprises should have a maximum size.
- Media enterprises are prohibited from having stakes in other media enterprises.
- Legal entities or natural persons may only own a limited stake in a media enterprise, for example 5%.
- Legal entities or natural persons may only control a limited stake in a media enterprise, for example 5%. This rule must take into account intermediary legal entities.
- Foreign entities having stakes in media enterprises should be completely disclosed. Otherwise they are refrained from having a stake in the media enterprise.

Often a small group of politically active people and lobyists dominate politics. Those people invest much time in lobbying and they often influence the decision making of politicians. Measures should be taken to safeguard politics from the influence of activists and lobyists.



Solving the conflict in Israel and Palestine

Because Israel dominated the foreign policy of the United States for decades, the United States has become a player in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It will be difficult for the United States to disentangle itself as long as the conflict has not been resolved. Even though many Jews and Israeli leaders wanted a serious and lasting peace solution (see also: New York Times - Olmert Says Israel Should Pull Out of West Bank), peace has never been within reach. Peace is in the interest of Israel because the constant threat of war makes living in Israel unpleasant. Furthermore it is unlikely that other countries will continue to support Israel indefinitely by sending money or by fighting Israel's wars.

If military strength is the only basis for the survival of Israel in a hostile environment then one day of weakness may prove to be fatal (see also: Jerusalem Post - Rattling the Cage: Why we're so unpopular). The enemies of Israel are waiting for that day. For Israel to survive in the long term it needs to define itself as a part of the Middle East and not as an outpost of Western civilisation. Jews and Arabs should consider each other as their brothers. This will not be easy and it may take a long time before all feelings of enmity have receded but Jews and Arabs have a common patriarch while Isaac and Ishmael were half brothers.

There are many obstacles to peace in Israel and Palestine. The most important obstacles are:
- Israel feels that its existence is threatened because Israel is a small country surrounded by Arabs who are generally hostile towards the Jewish state. Therefore Israel feels a strategic need to control the West Bank and to destroy any potential enemy before it becomes a threat.
- Israeli leaders need the Zionist settlers to create a coalition government. The Zionist settlers will block any reasonable peace solution.
- The Hamas government has no jurisdiction over the West Bank. The Fatah regime in the West Bank is not legitimate because Hamas had won the elections (see also: Washington Post - Hamas Sweeps Palestinian Elections, Complicating Peace Efforts in Mideast). It is a puppet regime of the Western powers bribed with handouts from Western governments. Fatah could take control of the West Bank with the help of Israel.
- Hamas does not recognise Israel and Hamas seems not to want a lasting peace with Israel. Moreover the Hamas charter encourages its followers to kill Jews and calls for the destruction of Israel.
- Many Jews think that Palestinians have no right to live in Palestine.
- Many Arabs think that Israel has no right to exist.

The best peace solution is the restoration of the 1948-1967 borders, with a possible exchange of land to minimise the number of people that are losing their homes, combined with sufficient guarantees for the safety of Israel. Palestinian refugees living outside Palestine should give up the land lost in 1948 and start a life in the new Palestinian state. Egypt may need to permanently lease a part of the Sinai desert to the Palestinian state in order to give the Palestinians in Gaza more space to live in. When Israel abandoned the settlements in the Gaza strip, this did not bring peace closer. It is therefore reasonable to assume that a complete unilateral withdrawal of Israel from the West Bank will embolden Arabs that want to fight Israel. Nevertheless it is reasonable to demand from Israel to return all territory that was taken from the Palestinians in recent years before peace negotiations can start.



We should realise who our real enemies are

In war you most likely will end up dead when you misidentify your enemy. The deadliest enemies are those who pretend to be your friend. There is an enemy out there that has no morals and kills people only for profit. You may think that the killing of people in distant countries will not affect you. You may think that you will get health care when you need it. You may think that your family is save. However if your death means profit to them, then your life is at risk.

We need to wake up and realise that our real enemies are not in some distant land. They are not people whose names we don't know and cultures we don't understand. The enemy is people we know very well and people we can identify. The enemy is a system that wages war when it's profitable, the enemy is the CEOs who lay us off our jobs when it's profitable, it is the insurance companies who deny us health care when it's profitable, it is the banks who take away our homes when it's profitable. Our enemy is not five thousand miles away. They are right here at home.

The future

Before The Fall people were living in harmony with nature. This is symbolised by the fact that Eve and Adam were naked in Paradise. Humans probably were living in matriarchal organised groups. There was no self-consciousness because the ego did not exist. The concepts of good and evil were still unknown and people only acted out of necessity as animals do. Knowledge was only practical in helping people to survive in nature (see also: God is a woman and Jesus was Her husband). The song Flowers of Talking Heads suggests that humanity will again live in harmony with nature [3] and that consumption levels will be lower in the new Garden of Eden [1]. For some people it may be difficult to adapt to the new situation [4].

Happiness does not come from high levels of consumption. Many countries with high consumption levels also have high numbers of psychiatrists per 100,000 population (see also: Psychiatryonline.org - Psychiatry: Composition and Trends). The Netherlands with 12 and the United States with 16 psychiatrists per 100,000 population are among the countries with the highest numbers of psychiatrists. This suggests that material wealth does not lead to happiness. Also many celebreties do not seem to be happy even though they are rich and famous. The highest numbers of psychiatrists are often found in metropolitan areas, which suggests that city life makes many people feel less comfortable. Because the natural condition for humans is to live in small groups in rural areas, this probably is not a coincidence.

If humanity wants to survive in a civilised manner, resource consumption levels should be reduced drastically because the Earth's natural resources are limited. The site Dieoff.org shows the choices humanity is facing as well as a number of possible solutions. By recycling natural resources and using renewable energy sources, material wealth in the Natural Financial System will be higher than is possible within the current usury financial system. The Natural Financial System will encourage recycling of materials and the use of renewable energy sources. The level of wealth in the Natural Financial System will remain high because of its high level of economic efficiency. Less resources will be spent on financial activity, government and advice so more resources will be available for the needs of peole.

There will be no turning back as soon as the knowledge about the Natural Financial System spreads and some nations, regions or communities start experiments. After the first experiments have turned out to be successful, the Natural Financial System will be adopted worldwide and replace the current financial system. This nearly happened in 1933 after a successful experiment in Wörgl, Austria (see also: Newciv.org - Wörgl's stamp scrip – The threat of a good example?). In 1933 the government and the central bank of Austria were able to end the experiment. However in the age of internet any knowledge of succesful experiments will spread fast and people are less likely to accept the authority of governments and central banks because they have failed to come up with a good solution for the financial crisis.
