ISRAEL DEPLOYS THE CONTROLLED PRESS AND CONGRESSIONAL STOOGES AGAINST AMERICA
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor
Even before 9/11, Cheney and Rumsfeld started weeding any intelligent life out of America’s military command structure. Anyone who would ask hard questions or say “no” when asked to betray the United States, violate the Geneva Convention or be willing to wage aggressive war was cashiered. A pack of rank amateurs led by famed military genius Karl Rove and listening to continual whisperings from Tel Aviv started America on the road to ruin.
A massive dossier was accumulated on nearly everyone, covering falsified intelligence, payoffs from military contractors, a rendition program now admitted to have averaged over 90% “innocent bystanders” and more. Mostly, however, it was contracting fraud, hundreds of billions of dollars of over payments, missing weapons, unfinished but paid for projects and defective everything from poisoned drinking water to electrocuted troops living and working in defective buildings. With AIPAC controlling congress for Israel and everyone else “on the take,” running America around by the nose was simple.
The movie, Green Zone, covers our attack on Iraq with considerable accuracy. The film clearly outlines how, in order to justify an illegal invasion, an American government created “false flag” intelligence. Despite any crimes Saddam may have committed, currently America has caused more civilian deaths in Iraq than Saddam in 30 years, the invasion was illegal and any and all involved in its planning, according to international law, should face tribunals. Those who were misled are innocent. Those who did the misleading are war criminals, exactly like Saddam. Our war to save Iraq from a brutal dictator was simply cover for a bank robbery and some “dirty work” that needed to be done, work that opened the door to country after country being destabilized.
All of this was done to deal drugs, steal gas and oil and loot the American economy. Oh, they forgot to tell you that on Hannity last night? Sorry about that.
This is how Iraq was destroyed, over a million killed and untold damage was done to America. In the process, the balance of power in the Middle East swung to Iran, who now largely controls Iraq and to the India/Israel alliance. The United States is no longer a factor, bogged down in Iraq, over its head in Afghanistan and flat broke at home. The surrogate wars fought for Greater Israel left America castrated. Now Israel is laughing at us.
The original plan, the Bush/Israeli plan was to use NATO as cover to expand into oil and gas rich Asia, flank Russia and gain control of key hydrocarbon supplies worth trillions of dollars, supplies that would give defacto control of China, India and Western Europe, not to America, but to key international groups in bed with Israel. The whole thing was going to be kept going with timely terror attacks, staged conflicts like the Georgia/Russia war and lubricated with billions in heroin profits that would undermine the governments of the narco-republics, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and last, but far from least, Afghanistan.
Managing Afghanistan would be easy. President Karzai is a puppet of India, a country willing to sell its soul to get into Afghanistan and organize terrorist groups to attack Pakistan. Kids there go to schools surrounded by fully armed military. If you want to see the real cost of the war in Afghanistan, you can see it in the faces of school children in Pakistan, who risk death daily because their army is fighting beside ours.
WHY IS IRAN A TARGET?
Russia was supposed to sit around stupidly while Bush and company put the Ukraine, Georgia and the other break-away republics into NATO. Weak and corrupt governments would quickly become corporate puppets, greased with drug money and ready to pump millions of cubic feet of natural gas into Israeli controlled pipelines for pennies on the dollar. However, Russia had different plans. The Ukraine fell away from the west. Hungary is doing that even as we speak. Kyrgyzstan threw out its narco-dictatorship and Russian owned Gazprom got control of the regions natural gas supplies.
All that is left to steal is Iran’s natural gas, the world’s largest supplies. The excuse to go after them, of course, will be imaginary nuclear weapons and, as nearly everyone has predicted, some “9/11″ type attack that can be blamed on Iran. This contingency plan, war on Iran, using the same falsified intelligence or a “false flag” attack, is the only way of moving plans for an economic empire forward, a cabal of Israeli and Christian Zionists, “robber baron” Wall Street types and oil companies.
Expect some type of international tensions or an incident to spike gasoline prices during the summer of 2010, something meant to push America toward ruin and financial desperation and to condition them for another war.
WHY GO AFTER THE U.S. ARMY, WHY ARE THEY STARTING TO RESIST “GANGSTERISM?”
The CIA and other American intelligence agencies all agree that Iran has no nuclear program. Pat Buchanan probably states it best:
“Diplomacy has failed,” Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., told AIPAC, “Iran is on the verge of becoming nuclear and we cannot afford that.”
“We have to contemplate the final option,” said Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., “the use of force to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.”
War is a “terrible thing,” said Sen. Lindsay Graham, R-S.C., but “sometimes it is better to go to war than to allow the Holocaust to develop a second time.”
Graham then describes the war we Americans should fight:
“If military force is ever employed, it should be done in a decisive fashion. The Iran government’s ability to wage conventional war against its neighbors and our troops in the region should not exist. They should not have one plane that can fly or one ship that can float.”
Danielle Pletka of the American Enterprise Institute, Neocon Central, writes, “The only questions remaining, one Washington politico tells me, are who starts it, and how it ends.”
As to who starts it, we know the answer. Teheran has not started a war in memory and is not going to launch a suicide attack on a superpower with thousands of nuclear weapons. As with Iraq in 2003, the war will be launched by the United States against a nation that did not attack us — to strip it of weapons it does not have.
Before Israel can put its forces into motion, starting with Rupert Murdoch and his media empire, Fox News, Limbaugh, Beck, Palin and the WSJ, and the congressional hacks fall in line, Secretary Gates, Admiral Mullen and General Petraeus have to be flanked. They are the voices telling us, not only that an attack in Iran is unwarranted but that war would be a disaster for America. The easiest way to destroy the credibility of the military is to marshal assets, the press, President Karzai and so many others. How has this begun?
WIKI-LEAKS, A SMALL “PEARL HARBOR” ATTACK ON THE ARMY
Kablam! In one fell swoop, we learn the Army has been lying all the time, murdering reporters, gunning down children and lying thru their teeth. Followup stories seen everywhere now claim this was done every day. Then we hear that the Special Forces use their knives to dig bullets out of bodies. When you think of an 5.56mm rifle ammunition of 5.7 mm pistol ammunition, all designed to penetrate body armor, either capable of passing through a human body with little reduction in muzzle velocity having to be dug out of a poor innocent Muslim woman with one of those huge butcher knives that the Special Forces carry, I have a bad moment. I begin to feel the pressure of a myth coming on, a story, a legend, perhaps even a movie script. I think Israel.
When I see poor hapless President Karzai telling the world he plans to move into the hills and command the Taliban in its war against the American occupiers, all the while his friends, family and associates are drowning in drug profits and massive American contracts, that same “Tel Aviv tango” seems to be playing in the background. Isn’t this the same Karzai, who in the last two weeks tried to set up a permanent commission to rig elections in Afghanistan? Is this the same Karzai given a “no confidence”vote from a tribal Shura last week? Someone should search him for his secret Israeli decoder ring.
Did General Stanley McChrystal admit to broad failures in “collateral damage” as is being reported? Is the Army “out of control” as claimed my the press? Moreover, recent operations in and around Marjeh, we are told, have now led to a reassessment (again) of policy toward drug eradication. Have we, as the news claims, embarked on a path of nation building that coincides with maintaining a narco-republic, an economic model deemed impossible to maintain?
Is this flood of reported failures, combined with destabilization of Iraq, renewed defense spending scandals there, part of a pattern meant to discredit the Army, discredit them at the same time they are the only institution in the United States supporting the executive branch in resisting demands for a preemptive strike, perhaps even using nuclear weapons, against Iran?
CAN ISRAEL FORCE A GEOPOLITICAL REALIGNMENT?
Both Pakistan and Iran feel they are targeted by Israel. Pakistan feels Israel is using its massive influence in the US to fill the news with rumors of nuclear weapons falling into the hands of terrorists and of Pakistani complicity in world terrorism, despite the recent successes Pakistan has had militarily. In fact, Pakistan is the only US ally to have any successes against terrorism at all. Pakistan is also under daily attack by terrorists they feel are armed and trained by the Indo-Israeli alliance, trained in Afghanistan, under the eye of President Karzai and also under circumstances that the United States could effectively oppose were the terrorist operations not being managed by Israel.
When the destabilization of Pakistan is considered, certain inherent problems come to mind, in particular, corruption and lack of national cohesion. The exacerbation of these problems by a concerted terror campaign coordinated with the American military operations in Afghanistan, operations that have pushed Pakistan into long term military operations well beyond their financial capabilities, has pushed Pakistan to near collapse.
Thus, Pakistan’s options are few. She can be dismembered by India and Israel or she can form an alliance with Southern Afghanistan and Iran, providing a nuclear umbrella for Iran in exchange for oil and gas revenue. The oddity of this, of course, is that, despite what is reported as news, Pakistan is still very much allied with the United States and has always been so, to as much a degree as Israel and, currently, more.
Such an alliance, which could be expanded easily to include Iraq, even Syria, could provide economic stability to the region, end any discussion of nuclear proliferation except that of Israel, and establish a basis for a regional trade zone capable of engaging India and China in a productive way, something Pakistan, as it now exists, is unlikely to be able to accomplish. This would also represent the recognition of the waning influence of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States, the reactionary Bedouin cultures that have so long been the external face of Islam.
SOCIAL REALIGNMENT AND REAL DEMOCRACY
It isn’t only the Palestinians who are being removed from their land or “ethnically cleansed.” The Kurds, through Turkey, Iraq and Iran have, for centuries, struggled for identity, as have the Baloch’s, millions of Pashtuns in Afghanistan and Pakistan and many other groups. The “economic pie” has always been cut to favor Israel, the oil princes, the Punjabi’s and a series of oligarchic families whose control stretches, not only thru Islam but India as well. Oil culture, drug culture or gun culture, even brushes with Islamic extremism and socialism have all led to political and social inequities.
Israel, once technically the region’s only democracy, is now looked on as a thinly veiled military dictatorship with controlled press, a brutal justice system and racist policies. If we are demanding democratic governments in Islamic countries, governments that comply with UN Resolutions, international law and civilized practice, then why aren’t we asking the same of Israel? From being presented to us for years on TV and in the news as a “beacon of light” we now see the truth. They are made of the same cloth as our other dictator friends, Noriega, the Shah, Diem and so many more. Noriega helped us run drugs, the Shah kept Russia out of the Persian Gulf and Diem helped create the Viet Cong to keep a generation of Americans off the street. Maybe Israel is doing what Diem did, starting wars so unemployed Americans can fill body bags, wars started by insane policies, greed, hubris and lots of phony talk about democracy.
With ethinic cleansing in Palestine still going on and similar issues in Darfur and earlier in Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Kashmir and elsewhere, this and other issues of human rights have to be addressed through whatever international conventions we currently have. Currently Iran is under sanctions and facing more. Israel faces sanctions which are vetoed by the United States. Leaders of more than a few countries, including even the United States and Israel, but many others also, face war crimes prosecution, an imperfect protection.
Over 60 years ago, Eleanor Roosevelt helped establish these principles which need full force of law, military force if necessary, to guarantee:

60 YEARS OF MOVING BACKWARDS
If you asked Americans today if their country fulfilled the promise of the 1948 declaration, a majority would admit we are moving backwards. Some would say so based on massive foreign propaganda that has infiltrated our media to destroy confidence in our ability to rule ourselves. Those talking “birth certificates” or “socialism,” the “tea bag” revolutionaries organized by monied interests and Israeli pressure groups are using fear and our history of class warfare and racial hatreds to cripple America. Driven by a plummeting standard of living and a massive realignment of wealth from the middle class to the upper 3 percent, a group that no longer invests in America, no longer provides jobs, develops technology nor advances productivity and innovation, a group that simply buries money overseas and “vacations” in America, living in gated communities and parking their yachts in our harbors, class warfare may be a real threat. In fact, Americans have been living it for years.
While Fox News and Glen Beck have been lulling America to sleep, America’s wealth has disappeared and with it, America’s standard of living. 70% of America’s families face homelessness based on a job layoff, and half the jobs in the country are in doubt. Yet, million of Americans are ready to take to the streets to support the same groups that planned it all, simply based on what they see on television.
When America lost its free press, it really lost all its rights.
DEBT, SLAVERY AND FEUDALISM
When the World Bank and IMF show up in a country to loan them money, the result is always the same. Within a few years, people are starving, a few wealthy have everything and the government that supports the process is always corrupt and totalitarian. The basic concept is that debt services itself and never delivers development, education, health care and human rights. As with dozens of countries around the world, the United States, as it buries itself further and further in debt becomes, as the Heritage Foundation points out, “less free.” We now have a Department of Homeland Security, an analog for Hitler’s GESTAPO, and a pattern of subterfuge, from controlled news to rigged elections to a looted economy, all with a backdrop of endless wars and threats against our “security” that have taken the focus off our loss of freedoms and blame a world of “terrorists” and “extremists.”
These enemies are all people who have been helped into extremism by debt, by the IMF and World bank, and are all living under military threat from the great enforcer, the United States.
Calling such a political system socialist is wrong. Calling it Fascist insults the social programs and efficiency delivered by Italy and Germany. It is Feudalism, the rule by armed thugs and ignorant despots that kept the world in a dark age for centuries. Instead of “serfs” we have “guest workers.” When Saddam invaded Kuwait, hundreds of thousands there lived in slavery. The United Arab Emirates, a close American ally has over 80% of its population as foreign workers.
Today, Israel is displacing the Palestinians who grew the food and worked in the factories for foreign workers, soon to number over 1 million in that tiny country, workers who are paid a tenth the wages of even a Palestinian. In Thailand, the fishing industry is run on slavery. In Burma, oil workers were cheaper to murder and replace than to pay. India is ready to send a man to the moon yet the majority of her population is the poorest on earth. 40 families control a country with over 1 billion people.
If you ever wondered why the water cannons and demonstrators, the mass arrests when the “Big 8″ get together or what it is all about, those are the people who “get it.” They are out there screaming for you to listen. Their message is that your world, the wars, the poverty, the job losses, the mortgage scandals, the rigged elections and the insane lies we see on the news are all about they money boys playing with debt. Is there a “new world order” or some other secret organization? Who needs one when we are all slaves to debt. If you think you owe money personally, you have no idea. You have lent billions you will never have, money you will owe for generations, to countries that could never hope to pay it all back.
Is it all as imaginary and sinister as it sounds? No, it is actually far worse.
ELIMINATING THE THREAT, DESTROYING THE INSTITUTIONS OF FREEDOM
Information is the basis for all decision making. If someone walks up with a gun and robs you, you see their face. Now, when it is done, we see no one. The robber controls newspapers or has a “think tank” blame someone else. In America, the robbers of the health care industry bought half our government, spending hundreds of millions on bribes, hired thousands of liars, really just paid thieves, all to continue control of one of the greatest financial frauds on earth, a health care system based on a mix of private insurance, public charity and millions of untreated sick, all being done at astounding cost and with incredible inefficiency. Health care costs are the major reason America has almost no manufacturing jobs.
With a two party political system where both parties receive massive contributions from Israeli/AIPAC sources and America is continually at war, fighting the imaginary enemies of Israel, most powerful country in the Middle East, our “free government” has become a joke. If a small nation like Israel can buy us into war, imagine what our own banking/insurance or oil industries can do? With enough phony religious “hoopla,” and more Israeli reminders of the holocaust, some “mysterious group” could blow up a school and we might invade anyone, even ourselves.
We have simply given away any rational control of our lives.
FIGHTING BACK
300 American members of congress signed a letter of support for Israel, a letter meant to tell our government that, even if Israel is getting our troops killed because of their war crimes, 300 bribed criminals sworn to support the United States will become traitors. They have to go, every single one of them and anyone else who accepts money from a foreign power unfriendly to the United States has to leave office.
We must admit that Fox News and its affiliates are part of the Israeli government. We also have to admit that some Jewish Americans, those who support AIPAC, or who have dual citizenship, are foreign agents and should be registered as such. Our laws require it. No one should be above the law.
If the United States Supreme Court continues to operate outside the Constitution, as it has for some time, the members, 5 that we know of, who are no longer loyal to the United States should be removed from office. The entire concept of the Supreme Court is one the Founding Fathers never thought out that clearly. SCOTUS is a form of tyranny protecting the interests, most often, of criminal classes in the United States from lawful government. When they started deciding elections, they had gone too far. When they authorized endless bribes, turning our government over to multi-national corporations, they became a threat. We are capable of governing ourselves without Clarence Thomas and those of his ilk, people no decent American would trust to watch a parakeet, ruling over us like Princes.
ONE COUNTRY, PART OF A WORLD OF PEOPLE, NOT IDEAS
It is time that we admitted that the ideas we hold have become our enemy. Our ideas are seldom our own. They always come from others, other that profit from convincing us that we are going to be safe from terrorism, have eternal life or “get rich quick” if we only accept their ideas.
Every idea is a denial of our innate goodness, decency and intelligence. If someone stops to help a stranger change a tire, they are a “liberal.” If someone fails to give a panhandler money for drugs, they are a ” conservative.”
The people who invented those terms have made fools of everyone who uses them, people who gave up their common sense for a promise of something that never existed and never will. All ideas offer the same thing, something for nothing. Free lunch.
There is no free lunch.

Excellent article!! Wish all of the American media can think openly like him!
Wish him great luck and happiness.
Not even worth commenting.
Duff needs to start living in real world.
Calcina,
Say hi to the folks in Calcutta. Perhaps you could spend some of that 2 billion dollar arms deal with Israel and spend a buck or two to educate some of the half billion people who live in abject poverty.
Sticks and stones.
g
You’ve presented so many inaccuracies as fact in this article, and flawlessley woven a web of opinion around them, that it’s nearly impossible to know where to start. You’re a better writer than I, but you’ve used your talent to perpetuate lies.
James,
Time for Jews to grow a pair and smack down the extremists in Israel, especially our Jewish friends in Russia. How can the most educated people on earth be the most brutal? But, didnt we say that about the Germans during the last century? How history repeats itself. Stop hiding under your bed and deal with the real world. Thanks for reading.
g
PLEASE JAMES COULD YOU TYPE THE DETAILED LIST OF LIES AND “INACCURACIES” THAT YOU CLAIM ARE IN THIS ARTICLE, AND PLEASE BACK IT UP WITH DOCUMENTATION (GOOGLE REFERENCES pdf Documents etc) BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENT I GOT BASICALLY CONFIRM WHAT THIS ARTICLE SAYS.
I BET THAT, WHAT YOU CLAIM “LIES AND DISTORTION” ARE FACTS THAT YOU REFUSE TO BELIEVE… BASED ON YOUR POOR SOURCE OF INFORMATIONS AND MAINSTREAM MEDIA PROPAGANDA.
COULD YOU BRING YOUR “EVIDENCE AND DOCUMENTATION” PROVING THAT THIS ARTICLE IS PURE FABRICATION OR LIES.
THEN I WILL BRING MINE (INCLUDING WEBSITES AND pdf DOCUMENTS)
GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK
JAMES.
Israel floods the blogs with people slamming Obama. I can only guess why they do that. They are also behind the over reporting pedophilia in the Catholic Church with their legions sounding like Americans. I can only guess why they do this.
As for India it is common knowledge with anyone with a knowledge of India it’s ties to Israel. My answer to this off the cuff is thank God China balances out their threat,
Bill,
Fascinating comment. I knew Malachi Martin. I was surprised to hear he was taking money from Israel. Martin, for those who don’t know, was Vatican Secratary of State under John XXIII, an exorcist, and accused Catholic officials of consecrating St Peters in the name of Satan.
g
He was also a nut case who thought aliens were living among us. I heard him say this one time on the Art Bell program. Reflecting maybe he was right.
Bill,
The art bell videos on youtube are interesting. However, I recommend getting his early book, Hostage to the Devil, about exorcisms. It is a very surprising read…very.
g
Thank you GD.
The many dots have become a clear pattern.
The mass awakening is in process, thanks to determined, couragous people;
those with inner moral compass still intact.
Predicable is the scorn & verbal attacks from those who are, and will be exposed in the light. Mindless denial will, sooner or later, place them under personal scrutiny.
With regards & respect.
Steve
If the ignorant and evil aren’t upset by what we write, none of it would be worthwhile. I bask in it.
g
Wow! I really enjoyed the article. You could have made about 20 interesting articles out of it. Not too many journalist have the guts to take on Israel and their Sayanims. The top leaders of the Israeli government must be exposed for being part of a selfish, inhumane, egotistical, deranged, war mongering cabal.
I agree that the Iran situation is mostly about the USA/Israel wanting to control their huge natural gas reserves. I would say it’s primarily the desire of Israel. They need the USA to conquer Iran and install a puppet on their behalf.
Since for decades the Israeli government, through Israeli communications company’s contracts in the USA, has the ability to listen in on any phone conversation in the United States, including at the Whitehouse, I am wondering if they are blackmailing Obama to go to wars on behalf of Israel.
Does Obama have secrets, perhaps something that happened years a go, that would destroy his reputation if announced to the world? Expanding the evil war in Afghanistan and Pakistan makes no sense for the United States but it does for Israel. Are they blackmailing you president Obama?
well said, but obama was chosen for the job.
don’t forget the bankers, they do not control them (iran) yet (to my nowing)
all part of the big picture. (most power sits in jewish hands)and as far as a secret
I think they all have (those to lead us)very dirty secrets
Is there a con game going on with the supposed spat between Obama and Israel? Is there a devious, surreptitious plan going on?
Read this intriguing interpretation of the spat:
Much was made of Obama diverting a cargo of “smart-bunker-busters” destined for Israel, but re-routed to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean instead. But few have picked up on the fact that this deceptive move brings these munitions within firing range of Iran. It’s from this strategically located island (stolen by the British and its natives forcibly expelled before being handed over to the US as an airbase) that air strikes were launched during Operation Desert Storm against Iraq and currently against Afghanistan. I think Keith Johnson hit the nail on the head in his analysis of this sleight of hand:
This announcement brought cheers and jeers from opposite ends of the political spectrum while leaving those in the middle, well…perplexed. [...] The diplomatic theatre going on between Israel and the Obama administration has everybody fooled. But this entire political circus is purely for public consumption. The short-term goal is to create the illusion that there is a riff between the two nations, while the larger scheme is intended to give Israel complete inculpability when the U.S. finally decides to strike Iran. [...]
But by creating the illusion that those weapons were intended on being delivered to Israel, the contrived “last-minute decision” to divert them to housing on Diego Garcia appears to be merely an innocuous logistics decision.[...] This is not a place where bombs go to sit in storage. This is a place they go before they’re launched. [...]
This strategy to make Israel look like an estranged child from its parent gives them complete deniability once the bombs start dropping. They believe that this staged feud between Israel and the U.S. will put the kibosh on any allegations that the two are working in concert. But behind the scenes, they hope to provoke Iran into a retaliatory strike on Israel in order to lend justification for their involvement and compel the American people to come to their defense.

interesting,
I would not look for a war with iran this year (2010)
but by march 2011 is for sure.
diplomacy is a joke in the west
The surrogate wars fought for Greater Israel left America castrated.
Take a look around our country, what’s left of it after spending the last 9+ years fighting these ‘Wars for Wall Street and Israel.’
We’re not only broke, we’re beyond bankrupt. Our infrastructure, not in good shape to start with, is worse off than ever.
Cities are closing schools by the score.
Over 4.5 million Americans will lost their homes this year, adding to the millions that have already lost their homes.
Good paying jobs are basically non-existent–unless you work for Triple Canopy or Boeing.
Then look at Israel. Israel’s economy is doing just fine, in fact it’s growing. Housing prices in Israel are appreciating, not still dropping like here in the USA.
Their standard of living is up and Israel’s infrastructure, especially their highways, are to be envied. They’ve got a National Health Insurance that is a single-payer style that provides excellent care.
And yet we give that Apartheid nightmare billions and billions each year in cash, billions and billions more in ‘loans’ that are NEVER repaid, they get turned into ‘grants,’ more free money and billions and billions in advanced weaponry.
And what do we get in return? A country that sends legions of spies to steal our military, industrial and business secrets and use stolen insider knowledge to manipulate the stock market so Israeli agents like ‘Bernie’ Madoff can loot billions from our pension funds.
A nation that used its vast Zionist network to manufacture much of that ‘dodgy’ intelligence used to scare Americans into thinking Saddam was going to invade the USA and was behind 9/11.
A pariah state that is now using that same network to pass on more lies about Iran.
Watch FOX or CNN for an hour or so and count how many stories are about Iran and its nuclear program and what should be done about it.
One guess as to what the Rupert Murdoch’s of the world want the USA to do about Iran and it involves our sons and daughters.
well stated, lese.

Thanks again, Gordon, for taking the risks you take. What concerns me is Israel’s end-game scenario. An article dealing with that would be most welcome.
Dan,
The Israeli end game is expressed with incredible accuracy in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Since, as we are continually told, the “Protocols” were invented by the Russian secret police, these guys must have had a crystal ball or something.
g
The Protocols of the Elders of Zion are an amazing read and fit the Zionist agenda and actions. The Zionists have done an amazing job of strongly discrediting them as a hoax. It wouldn’t surprise me if they’re authentic.
Combining the Protocols of the Elders of Zion and the extremely degrading, horrible, stunning remarks in the Talmud regarding Christians and the Goyim, militant Zionists must feel very justified in their actions.
Gordon…great article!
I came up with a summary I call the “New World Order steps;” here they are:
1. Crash the economy; make the U.S. entirely dependent on the “largesse” of the international bankers.
2. Control the news media, keeping the public ignorant of the truth, but keep them “entertained.”.
3. Create fear; terrorist acts (e.g., 1/11, 7/7/ London bombings, etc.). Other fears: health, food, glabal warming. Fear creates a submissive population, willing to give up freedoms.
4. Blame the population’s individuals, particularly the middle class. Corporations are untouchable, but individuals can be bullied.
5. Establish a “militarized” police mentality, with police viewing citizens as the enemy.
6. Create wars; this benefits the corporations and diverts the public’s attention away from domestic problems by insituting a “boogeyman.”
7. Remove moral codes; create attacks on religious beliefs, social ascquiescence of violence, encourage a “me-first” attitude and a “must have” consumer mentality.
8. Make Obama untouchable; any criticism is considered racist. This creates a submissive population for him and future presidents.
9. Maximum vaccinations of the population, starting with infants and up to the elderly; flouridate everyone; this helps in dumbing down the population.
10. Educate children to obey authority (read “government”), and force any who disagree to attend “anger management” sessions.
Who do you work for, the DHS or the Bilderberg Group?
Make Obama untouchable; any criticism is considered racist
And with GW Bush, those speaking out were accused of being unpatriotic, since we just HAD to get behind the prez during a time of war…. Except war has NEVER been declared, only the “Authorization to Use Military Force,” against those who attacked us on 9/11.
One of these days, that’s going to come back and seriously bite in the ass those who actually did attack on 9/11.
Thanks, Lese Majeste for bringing up Bush’s crime regime. You’re right; the “you’re either with us or against us” mentality started with Cheney/Bush. I was just trying to keep it current. Actually my interest in this whole mess began with Cheney/Bush as I could hardly believe what was happening to our country. Letters I wrote to the editor of our local paper elicited that same mentality. And I’m still stunned that so much has changed in so short a time. My internet research has shown the steps I listed above have been going on for quite some time, begninning the establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1913. On national holidays, I notice fewer and fewer American flags being flown. Are we, the people, feeling less national pride? And if so, why? There’s a loaded question. Frankly, in my mind, it all goes back to 9-11. Who benefitted?
false flag? did building 7 get “pulled” (famous words of silverstien) the man profited from the deciding the terror attack was two separate events (1-event 3BILLION) (two events 7 plus BILLION)
If so quick work by demo team !! should take week or at least several days.
And I watched twin towers explode not collapse
to the ground at free fall speed. interesting!?? who benefits?? where are we now??

Fantastic article Gordon you are hitting on all cylinders here. You know you are when you bring the nut cakes out of the wood work.
They know how to handle an up and coming party in Hungary also just call it the rise of the extreme right-wing Jobbik party, which has been accused of anti-Semitism and xenophobia. It works every time and makes the sheeple wince. The intelligentsia in Hungary are demanding people stop calling it a country and simply a collection of traditions kind of like America.
This article is so good I am going try and pitch in with a bit of humor in an otherwise morbid situation.

the fire of corruption flashes over
Peter Chamberlin has collected various interesting news articles about the upheaval in Kyrgystan.
Blood in the Streets of Bishkek
Kyrgyz protestor: “The Jews are Kaput”
Is the Kyrgystan upheaval bad for the US?
Maksom Bakiev appears online — from the US evidently
Trouble in the Stans: Which is the next country to blow up?
Let’s break this down.
Vanity:
The corruption that pissed people off in Kyrgystan — mainly the president using his position to enrich himself and his family — also happens in Uzbekistan, except that it’s worse. (Independent UK)
In Uzbekistan, a similar process has been under way. The president’s daughter, Gulnara Karimova, is a glamorous, Harvard-educated socialite based in Geneva, and, according to Mr Murray and others, controls the regime’s billions of dollars of assets through the Zeromax company. She has her own jewellery and fashion lines, and occasionally releases saccharine pop songs. She is also said to have provided the money for one of the regime’s biggest vanity projects – the Bunyodkor football club, based in the capital Tashkent. The side, which plays in the obscure Uzbek League, has paid millions to lure stars such as the Brazilian Rivaldo to play for them, and last year recruited former Brazil and Chelsea boss Luis Felipe Scolari to manage the team, giving him the highest salary of any football manager in the world.
Last month we learned that international organized crime rings cooperate and use legitimate businesses, including sports teams among other things, to launder money. This is from a Telegraph UK story.
In July last year, police arrested seven alleged mafia members suspected of attempting to buy into the Lazio soccer team [to launder money - ed.]. … After the offer was turned down, the Casalesi allegedly tried purchasing shares in the club through front companies based in Switzerland or Hungary. Police said the attempt to acquire a soccer club was “a new phenomenon”.
Vanity projects in Uzbekistan. Vanity projects in organized crime rings. Do vanity projects reliably indicate the presence of organized crime? We do not know.
Nepotism:
Speaking of presidential daughters, next door in Kazakhstan the president’s daughter Dinara has an important role in the business of the country, particularly in the oil and gas sector, through her marriage to Timur Kulibayev.
An intelligent and ambitious President and CEO of the KMG group since June 2006, Kulibayev is married to President Nazarbayev’s second daughter Dinara. Until his promotion, he used to be KMG’s first vice president of KMG. In his 30s, he began his career in the finance ministry’s division which was once in charge of the petroleum sector. In March 1997, as Nazarbayev made Balgimbayev president of KazakhOil, the latter made Kulibayev the financial boss and vice president of the company. The oil and gas firms then were transferred from the finance ministry to KazakhOil.
Timur Kulibayev, the president’s son-in-law, has reportedly fathered a “love child” with Goga Ashkenazi. Goga has also dated Prince Andrew. And, come to find out, they’re all good buds, helping each other with selling mansions and what-not! Turns out that moneyed people and British royals just love to hang out in Kazakhstan. Who knew?!?
Goga Ashkenazi and Prince Andrew, from News of the World
Does any of this matter? We do not know. It sure is interesting though.
Israel:
Meanwhile, Kazakhstan is actually “Israel’s Partner in Eurasia” according to Ariel Cohen, writing for the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs. (source) (source: http://tinyurl.com/yfw6d8h)
Israel and post-communist, resource-rich states have similar geopolitical priorities in opposing terrorism and radical Islam.
By developing closer ties with Kazakhstan – and with Eurasian countries in general – Israel can expand its ties to the secular Muslim Turkic states and its role in the new “great game” of Eurasia: economic development fueled by exports of the region’s massive natural resources.
Israel and the countries of Eurasia are economically complimentary: Central Asian countries are rich in natural resources, and can benefit from Israeli solar, irrigation/agricultural, medical and other know-how. Israel can offer high-tech, military, and advanced agricultural technology, cutting-edge medical sciences, and educational opportunities. As always in international relations, common interests define strong ties.
On occasion, President Nursultan Nazarbayev used his good services to appeal to Iran on behalf of missing Israeli servicemen or call on Tehran to abandon its nuclear weapons, as Kazakhstan did in 1994. Unfortunately, these appeals usually fall on deaf ears.
With oil prices rising, Kazakhstan may have left the nadir of economic decline behind, although banking and construction sectors were hurt particularly hard.
Kazakhstan is much larger than Kyrgystan, and the two countries share a long border. You can read more about the two countries and their possible connections to Israel here.
Mystery:
The other day I came across a story from a newspaper on the Texas border, the Del Rio News Herald. Del Rio is next to Laughlin AFB. The story was reported on April 6, 2010. The Kyrgystan unrest took off the very next day.
A man was found dead in his hotel room. He apparently worked for a company called TolTest in the Indianapolis area.
Justice of the Peace Precinct 3 Fred Brockwell identified the man found in the room as Alvin L. Lehman, 46, a resident of Indianapolis, Ind. Brockwell pronounced Lehman dead at 2:45 p.m. Monday and ordered an autopsy of the body to determine the cause and manner of Lehman’s death. Brockwell said Lehman was found sitting in the bathtub inside the motel room, but added there was no trauma to the body and no obvious signs of foul play.
So, probably nothing. But I looked up TolTest and it’s a very large defense contractor. (You would never know this from the news item.) For example, it was awarded part of a $4 billion contract to the USAF in 2004. TolTest has locations throughout the world including Guantanamo Bay, the Azores, Spain, Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Afghanistan, South Korea, Japan and Guam. (http://www.toltest.com/?event=locations)
So not a rinky-dink operation. In fact TolTest comes in above Lockheed Martin on this list of top 100 contractors:
1 KBR (formerly Kellogg Brown and Root)
2 DynCorp International (Veritas Capital)
…..
12 Blackwater USA
….
17 Toltest
18 Lockheed Martin
So this guy, Alvin Lehman, just happens to die mysteriously while on business for TolTest, down in Texas right next to Laughlin AFB. And the next day the Kyrgystan people toss out their president and his son. Again, I’m sure it’s probably nothing. But it got me thinking about the accusations of corruption in Kyrgystan, and Manas, and the logistics of running NATO operations. Because one of TolTest’s core business is bulk fuel services. (http://www.toltest.com/?event=news.read&newsid=169)
Services include asbestos; lead abatement/demolition; bulk fuel services; construction; design/build; environmental consulting & remediation; general contracting; operations & maintenance (OM); site engineering; telecommunications installations; transportation and disposal; underground/above-ground storage tank management, removal & installation; and value engineering.
So anyway, for the third time, it’s all probably neither here nor there. It just flicked my whiskers. The point is that some people are making a lot of money in Central Asia. And those people probably know each other, because let’s face it, that’s how business is done. It’s all about who you know, and there aren’t all that many people mixing it up in Kyrgystan based on the reports of these US Department of Commerce conferences. So when we start talking about corruption, the problem can flash over very quickly and engulf others. Thus whenever we see people dying mysteriously or getting tossed off buildings or committing “suicide,” like all those bankers, then we must ask whether these deaths are really fire doors slamming shut to prevent the corruption from spreading.
^^^^^^^
Control:
Getting back to this story about trouble in the Stans and which one is next to blow, we learn a little more about Uzbekistan and Kyrgystan:
…Ordinary Uzbeks live in crushing poverty, with no free press and in fear of the rapacious security services. The country’s border with Kyrgyzstan has been shut off since the unrest began last week, and the Uzbek authorities have ensured that local media do not cover the uprising. Nevertheless, the fear for the Uzbek regime will be that news of the collapse of the Kyrgyz regime may put thoughts of revolution into the heads of Uzbeks.
In May 2005, roughly two months after the Tulip Revolution that brought Mr Bakiyev to power in Kyrgyzstan, protests erupted in the Uzbek town of Andijan, not far from the border with Kyrgyzstan. Uzbek troops fired into the crowds, and it is estimated that several hundred people died. The government refused to hold an independent inquiry into the events at Andijan, and claimed that the uprising was organised by terrorists, but those who were there speak of unarmed civilians being sprayed with machine gun fire and later buried in mass graves.
That is pretty much exactly the method covered in yesterday’s post about state-sponsored violence in Guatemala: refusing to hold inquiries, blaming the violence on terrorists:
Social cleansing and state-sponsored violence does not get investigated.
What may arguably be the strongest indication of the state’s role in the current violence is an absolute void of effective homicide investigations. Null or non-existent forensic investigations are a textbook indication of social cleansing. They allow for complete impunity, a heightened culture of terror, and increased powerlessness of victims’ family members, and more widely, civil society.
As for the border between Kyrgystan and Uzbekistan, a company called TFI (Task Force Innovation Internation) reported in their December 2007 newsletter the completion of two projects in Kyrgystan. The president of TFI is Glen Lockwood, the guy who chaired the U.S Department of Commerce Second Annual Conference “Trade and export in Kyrgyzstan: how to strengthen capacity?” on November 12, 2009.
Lockwood’s company completed several Kyrgystan projects in 2007. One was a border crossing.
On the 1st of October 2007, the official opening ceremony of Bekabad Border Crossing Point (Kyrgyzstan –Uzbekistan border) was held and attended by Glen Lockwood, The President of TFI International; Marie Yovanovich, The US Ambassador in Kyrgyzstan; Zlatko Zigic, The Head of Mission of International Organization for Migration in Kyrgyz Republic; Zamir Moldoshev, The Head of Kyrgyzstan Border Services; Jusupjan Jeenbekov, The First Deputy Minister of Emergency Situation of Kyrgyzstan, and other border and customs control officials. Construction of Bekabad Crossing Point was funded by US Department of State within the bounds of EXBS program implemented by IOM in Kyrgyzstan, and successfully completed by TFI International.
The second project involved the construction of showers and latrines at Manas AFB.
Glen Lockwood got married in Kyrgystan on September 11, 2001.
After his marriage, Lockwood planned to work for John Dawkins, who attended the wedding and was part owner and General Director of a Moscow technology company called IPSOTEL. But without explanation Russian authorities denied Lockwood entrance and sent him back to Kyrgystan.
Speculation was that Lockwood’s long tenure in the Russian Far East, as well as his work with the US State Department office in the sensitive area of Tomsk, had led Russian Security Services to unfairly tag Lockwood as a potential spy.
Those crazy Russians. Who would think such a thing?
Anyway, a fascinating story thus ensues involving money, military people, contractors, Turkey, Iraq, intelligence operatives, etc. People coming in and out, companies changing names, giant egos, bitter grudges ending in a death and a disappearance.
In 2004, eight months after the disappearance of Kirk von Ackermann and six months after the death of Ryan Manelick, it appeared that the US Army had finally begun an aggressive investigation into what had happened to the two men. Initially the investigation was assigned to the Criminal Investigation Division (CID) of the U.S. Army’s Fourth Infantry Division, based in Tikrit, Iraq. By May, the case had moved to the Major Procurement Fraud Unit (MPFU) of the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command (HQCID) in Fort Belvoir, Virginia. The general assumption is that the Army’s renewed interest was the result of Greg Manelick’s tireless efforts to uncover the truth of who killed his son. In August of 2005, Geoff Nordloh met with agents of the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division for a second time. The investigation into the disappearance of Kirk von Ackermann and the murder of Ryan Manelick was said to be close to “wrapping up.“
Pretty serious. And somehow Glen Lockwood managed to survive all that because he’s still the president of TFI and up until last week, he was presumably acquainted with Maksim Bakiev.
^^^^^^^
Let’s recap. From this one incident in Kyrgystan we can detect the following:
a culture of corruption in Kyrgystan and Uzbekistan
a culture of nepotism and the strong presence of moneyed people from the UK
connections to Israel
Bakiev hiding in the US and Manas now at risk
US government and business personnel exposed to the fallout of Bakiev’s corruption
the possibility of other contractors deeply involved in corruption
the possibility of state-sponsored violence and intelligence operatives at work

Your views would will not be given the time in the main stream media May be it will get attention in some quarters and the blogs.
There are many who disagree with these wars and the terrible cost to the people and the economy of those countries. These people are in the majority and they see things getting from bad to worse.
You are a vetaran with an impressive record of service. Why you are not given the coverage,maybe the answer lies some where in your writings.
One may disagree with some of your views but not all. One thing is pretty obvious for any one following the recent imposed wars. They have engulfed and destabilised the entire region from Iraq to Pakistan and now Kyrgystan. The common factor is foreign intervention.
Abrar,
I had 3.3 million readers last month, that we can track. The real number was well beyond that. People get the information they want. You have no idea how powerful the internet is. People run the internet, no matter how much others may try. I just write. It isn’t about me.

I have no doubt about the strength of Internet and its coverage where other media cannot even reach. My point is with such a substantial readership this should become a movement to start real debates about the policies that are detremental to world peace and against american national interests.
These chain reaction wars that are being imposed only help those few who benefit from their cost and those who want to impose their dominance forcesfully.
Quote: Kablam! In one fell swoop, we learn the Army has been lying all the time, murdering reporters, gunning down children and lying thru their teeth.”
One fell swoop, eh? What news sources have you been getting your information from, the mainstream outlets you accuse of the Zionism that you so preach against? Here’s a news flash for ya: This kind of thing is nothing new to the US military! As a veteran I kind of figured you would not really be surprised by this sort of thing, but I’ve been wrong before. Come to think of it, much of your ‘article’ is really not much more than a bunch of re-hashed mix of fact AND fiction with your own personal slant thrown on top like so much bulk grade ranch dressing. Oh, it might taste good now…
But I digress. Now where was I? Oh, yeah! I find it interesting that you also boldly admit to being a defense contractor. Not exactly the kind of job with an honest track record what with the history of ripping off the government and all. Of course, that doesn’t mean you did that kind of thing, and I’m not suggesting you would. It’s just very interesting, that’s all. I’m curious, what lobbyists are you affiliated with? Certainly you never would have gained defense contracts without the help of lobbyists. Unless you knew somebody on the inside, perhaps a friend or relative in the senate? Maybe an old war buddy or an uncle in congress? Pure speculation, of course. And what kinds of products and/or services did you provide to our government? Obviously you don’t have to answer these questions, none of my business, right?
Also, I am very curious as to your opinion on gay rights. In the Universal Declaration of Human Rights it mentions just about anybody except gay people. Shouldn’t a declaration of freedom such as this be subject to change to include every human, including the gay ones?
Come to think of it, despite how great this declaration sounds I don’t think I am too comfortable with the term “universal.” Sounds a little too globalist to me. Personally, I am of the mind that individual countries should be allowed to run things as they see fit (as long as they keep it within their boundaries, you know what I mean?) and not be bullied by other nations who stick their noses into business that is not theirs. But what do I know? I’m certainly no former UN diplomat.
Speaking of which, if you don’t mind my asking, just what was the nature of your duties as a UN diplomat? Were you privy to any back door shenanigans? Again, you certainly don’t seem to mind listing things on your resume that carry a certain stigma. That takes some cajones, my friend, especially considering your relationship to the kind of paranoid neo-patriots you seem to pander to. Bravo!
Dusty,
As you ramble on, you have a point to make? You wouldn’t be blindly speculating about so many things if you were nearly as informed as you would like to pretend to be. Good to see someone from Portland, or as it is called, the Socialist Republic of Portland working at thinking. Keep at it, you will eventually get somewhere. Consider using a name, this isn’t an internet “troll” site.

Yes, our Zionist controlled media and our Zionist controlled Congress certainly are enemy weapon systems, deployed against America.
Now, what to do about it?
As I see it, the immediate problem is to prevent the bloodthirsty, criminally insane, Jewish supremacist madmen from starting WW3.
I’ve always felt that publicly exposing 9/11 as the Zionist crime that it was, had the potential to stop the madmen, but things just don’t seem to be happening fast enough. The evidence presently in the public domain paints a damning picture, but the response so far, especially in the international arena, has been disappointing.

More news from Kyrgystan — translated.
The scandal centered on a Russian Jew with American citizenship in Israel is not noticing. But, according to a Knesset, the story involving Italian politicians, mafia, big businessmen of the EU, USA and Russia and Kyrgyzstan, may continue in Israel.
In the last week in Kyrgyzstan, a scandal erupted in the center of which was a number of big businessmen of Jewish descent. The protagonist of this story was born in the USSR and U.S. citizen 33-year-old Yevgeny Gurevich. Authoritative Central Asian Internet resource Ferghana.ru dubbed him “personal financier (president’s) family Bakiyev, contributing to its partners in the project to control the most profitable sectors of the Kyrgyz economy.”
According to Western media, last week the Roman court issued a warrant for the arrest of Hurewicz, which Italian law enforcement authorities are suspected of involvement in criminal groups engaged in fraud and money laundering in the amount of billions of euros. In this case, were issued arrest warrants for 55 more people, including executives of several Italian companies and politicians from the encirclement of President Berlusconi [worth clicking through to this one -ed.] According to the Sun Francisco Chronicle, the 1600 pages of the indictment brought against Gurevich, alleged that he played a key role in laundering illegal proceeds of Italian criminals. According to La Stampa, employees of the Central Bank of Italy received a warning from the Cypriot colleagues that the company Gurevich used for laundering the proceeds through a scheme of carousel fraud and smuggling of tobacco and drugs, committed, apparently, in Italy and the United Kingdom. ” Austrian publication Profil added that the investigation of the case involved and law enforcement agencies of this state.
Chief Jew Kyrgyzstan
Publications in the Western media to embarrass the Kyrgyz leadership, which had a prominent role in logistics contingent of NATO in Afghanistan. In Bishkek, Evgeny Gurevich still considered the most influential financial consultant, whose services are used by government agencies and state corporations. In Kyrgyzstan, he founded the MGN Group, and before the outbreak of the “Italian scandal” is its CEO. In October last year, Gurevich explained Kabar.kg, that its holding “is focused on Central Asia, and offers a range of services in asset management and corporate finance.” He noted that the mission MGN – “to realize the investment potential of Kyrgyzstan and Central Asia.” After receiving a license in November of 2008, the consulting structure in record time included in the list of its clients the biggest bank in the country AUB (AUB), the government’s Social Fund and Development Fund, whose shares are managed by the Central Agency for Development, Investment and Innovation (TSARII ), chaired by the President’s son Maxim Bakiev. By the end of 2009, MGN, according to Gurevich, managed assets totaling $ 250 million. He himself went to the boards of a number of major Kyrgyz companies as well as the International airport “Manas” (the leader of the local market in air services), “Power Station” (State monopoly for the production of electricity), Kyrgyztelecom, Kyrgyzgaz, etc.
Distribution of activity of holding company led by foreigners, especially in such a short time, the key sector of the economy led to mounting criticism not only to the Hurewicz as his alleged backers around President Bakiyev. In the local media began to appear publications that MGN owes his meteoric rise to Maxim Bakiyev, eager with the help of foreign consultants to take control of the most profitable market segments. Gurevich categorically rejected such accusations. “We are absolutely without any support for the president’s family or the government” – he said in October last year. And only in February of 2010 MGN CEO said in his blog that “had the honor to meet recently with Maxim Bakiyev,” after he led TSARII (October of 2009). “I do not have long to meet a more talented and creative leader,” – noted Gurevich, although the president’s son is in the country rather odious figure.
Linking Hurewicz with Bakiyev, Jr., and “implementation” MGN in the public sector of the economy, caused manifestations not yet characteristic of Kyrgyzstan’s anti-Semitism. This was facilitated by the fact that other key positions in the leadership of the holding and take Russian-American Jews, and business partner
MGN is the founder of a Russian Jew – the owner of AUB Michael Nadel, who played a role in the emergence of Yevgeny Gurevich in the Kyrgyz market. As a result, he himself declared Zionist, but on local Internet forums began to appear the following remarks: “Walking in the wake of the Max (Maxim Bakiyev) resulted in a financial power of the country’s Jews, amerovskih and Russian, for which Kyrgyzstan – a base for enrichment, and people for them – black cattle. Journalism is one of the leading online editions of the republic is explained in this regard, local visitors and blog-sphere, that the Jews “was originally in the blood is no such thing as a conscience – therefore they Kyrgyzstan just another litter, they poimeyut and thrown out ….”
Against this background, it is natural that with the publicity “the Italian scandal, opposition leaders tried to use” popular anger “to intensify attacks on clan Bakiyev. March 11 Party Ata-Meken, led by former parliament speaker Omurbek Tekebayev, demanded the resignation of the president and his son – Director TSARII. They are accused of that lobbied for the “interests of individuals to the detriment of national interests” and created an environment in which private company will have a fabulous profits at the expense of the impoverishment of the population. Another opposition activist Edil Baisalov added: “The company is so deeply intertwined Gurevich with the current regime, that it is not limited to just financial, he actively participated in the gosreformy, promoted the idea of constitutional change.”
March 10, leaving all their positions (including CEO MGN), Gurevich publicly responded to the accusations made against him by the Italian court. Categorically refuting them, and calling a “misunderstanding”, he said that he intends “to the end to defend his innocence and innocence in court.” But the next day to a warrant for his arrest in Italy added to the charges of the company Eventis Telecom, lost in last year’s control over the second mobile operator of the republic “Bimikom. By announcing now Gurevich involvement in the raider attacks, representatives Eventis Telecom announced that they would seek redress through the Court of Arbitration in Stockholm.
Some customers and partners even Gurevich rushed to distance themselves from him. Since March 10, the Development Fund announced the termination of the agreement with MGN. 12-second press-service of the Holding Company issued a formal statement, which stated: “the charges against Yevgeny Gurevich charges not related to the activities of MGN Group, and refer to that period of time when the company MGN Group did not exist.”
Although the number of the local Jewish community is just over a thousand people, the special role of Jews in Kyrgyzstan’s economy – not a new phenomenon.
Even before the overthrow of the first president, Askar Akayev, Bakiyev of the clan in 2005, a noticeable influence on the economy benefited from an approximate one of the key Kyrgyz politicians Felix Kulov – Yuri Sosnowski. Being a native of the republic, the former staff member of the Institute of Physics and Mechanics of Rocks of the Kyrgyz Academy of Sciences, in the early 90′s went into business, mostly food imports from Kazakhstan and Russia. Eventually he became the unofficial financial adviser Kulov, who until the change of power had time to visit the vice-president, minister of national security, the head of Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Mayor of the capital. After the coup, from mid-2005′s to the beginning of 2007, Kulov was the head of government, and another three months before the official formation of the new cabinet proposed Sosnovsky take the post of Minister of Finance. Preferring to remain in the shadows, he refused such a tempting offer, and at the same time, the virtual monopoly of foreign trade contacts Kulov. How then, and Gurevich, special attention he paid to the development of linkages with foreign investors, especially from Western Europe and the USA. In 2006, Sosnowski tried to draw on the local market, and Israeli businessmen, in particular liaising with the former IDF Chief of Staff Lipkin-Shahak.
But as soon as the clan Bakiyev sufficiently appreciated in the power, the new president hastened to get rid of a strong competitor, and squeezed Kulov from the government. Replaced by Yuri Sosnovsky came other “gray cardinal” of Jewish origin. Besides revealing that, on suspicion of Moscow in the coming to power clan Bakiyev played a role disgraced oligarch Boris Berezovsky and his partner, Latvian banker Valery Belokon (one of the biggest foreign players in the Kyrgyz market).
In the second half of 2000′s local and Russian media have brought to the role of the new “gray cardinal” Michael Nadel – the main shareholder and Chairman of the Board of Directors of AUB (AUB). This – the largest commercial bank in Kyrgyzstan, which account for, according to Russian sources, “more than half of the republic’s budget, including salaries of employees of the public sector, all types of compulsory insurance, retirement savings, loans. According to some media, AUB has managed to achieve such a special situation in the Kyrgyz market in no small measure due to the close connection with Bakiyev
This also contributed to the emergence of a banker in the country Yevgeny Gurevich. “I arrived in Kyrgyzstan, because my close friend, Michael Nadel, a long time working here, and built the most advanced and just a cool commercial bank in the country (and I helped him a bit) – Gurevich, admitted in early February of 2010 in its blog. For the three months before he is called AUB one of the main clients MGN Group. However according to several media in the past few years Gurevich par with an allotment was a member of AUB Board of Directors.
As the portal IzRus one of the Knesset, which supports communication with Kyrgyz colleagues in Bishkek does not rule out that some representatives of business community of the republic, the situation will be interested to receive Israeli citizenship and even return to their historical homeland.
Interlocutor portal IzRus chose not to name any specific names, but noted that “there are already clear signs of this.” According to him, talking about individual representatives of an entire group of big businessmen and top managers, subject to the Israeli Law of Return. And although almost all of them have American or Russian citizenship, “in the current difficult situation, Israel might be their ideal destination.”
“Another question: whether Israel is ready to accept them. In this case, is difficult to draw a parallel here with some of repatriated Russian businessmen. They are in contrast to the” Kyrgyz “colleagues before moving preoccupied by the creation of – sponsored various humanitarian projects, including those of national importance , acquired bonds among the local establishment. But representatives of the business community in Kyrgyzstan within the Law of Return, Israel has so far not interested. Moreover, the current scandalous background obviously will not help to provide them with Israeli citizenship, “- said the same MP.
In related news, 4/9/10:
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State of Israel is following with concern the developments in Kyrgyzstan and, given the friendly relations between the two countries, unpleasantly surprised by the anti-Semitic incidents in Bishkek. We hope that the government clearly favors on this occasion.”
MK Amnon Cohen of Shas, is actively involved in relations with Muslim countries of the CIS, believes that Israel should be ready for more drastic measures if the new government of Kyrgyzstan is not put to anti-Semitism in the country….A native of Uzbekistan, Amnon Cohen, a member of Knesset since 1999 he has served as chairman of the Inter-Parliamentary Association Israel, Uzbekistan, and is also active in relations with Tajikistan and Azerbaijan. The last time Cohen visited Central Asia last December, when held in Tashkent a series of meetings with senior Uzbek officials. In addition, the MP is considered one of the most prominent figures of the World Congress of Bukharan Jews , whose president is an Israeli tycoon Lev Leviev.
From April 2009:
Tuesday, March 31, several hours before the formal entry of Avigdor Lieberman into the new office, the Israeli ambassador in Astana Yisrael Mei-Ami, who is also a non-resident ambassador in Bishkek, presented his credentials to Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev.
Day on March 31 Mei Ami went to the residence of the president to par with the ambassadors of Egypt, China, Vatican, Mexico, Switzerland, Greece and Hungary, to present his credentials Kurmanbek Bakiyev. As the portal IzRus mentioned Kyrgyz officials, in the waiting room an Israeli diplomat shook hands with his Egyptian counterpart.
Addressing foreign ambassadors Bakiev stressed that Kyrgyzstan is ready to cooperate with Israel without exception in all fields and relations between the two countries have absolutely no problems.
After the ceremony at the presidential palace Tsur and Mei-Ami, met with leaders of the Jewish community of the republic, whose strength is about 1200 people. As the portal IzRus one of the local Jewish leaders, at the cocktail party was attended by more than a dozen guests, of whom stood out: the Chief Rabbi of Kyrgyzstan Arie Reichman, chairman of the Society of Jewish Culture “Menorah” Boris Shapiro, and the leader of the local branch of the international Jewish charitable organization “Hesed” ( “Joint”) Rose Fish.
…Before them, the last official representative of Jerusalem, visited Bishkek in June of 2008, was the then Deputy Foreign Minister Majali Uahabe. But the history of diplomatic relations established between the two countries in 1992, Kyrgyzstan has been only one representative of the Government of Israel – Avigdor Lieberman in July 2001 the.
Article 1 of human rights is that the winner is always right. There is no article 2, the winner dictates what is right and what is wrong. I think the Israelis understand this better than anyone in the world. I seen the left and dogooders get the United States out of Vietnam in the early seventies and then stood by as millions of people were murdered in Vietnam and Cambodia and the left never uttered a peek. Get real, a nation of one quarter of the population of New York city and no other country in the world to trust. I ask, if you were an Israeli, would you trust the United States to look out for your interest.
David,
Good point. When Israel pushed the Palestinians into terrorism, as we were unwilling to allow the UN to work as designed, your point was proven.

Well fellas, The bottom in the U.S. has almost completely fallen out. It’s only a matter of time until it does according to your peoples apparent ‘school of thought’; so my question is this. What are you boys going to do then? Are you going to circle the wagons and break-out the winchester 30-30′s or what?
Now, I know that some of you must certainly be in better shape financially than I and with at least some morally-supportive family (which I don’t have since all of my immediate family in Texas are dead except one older sister who is a deranged maniac herself ‘at this point’ and hates everyone including me.)I’ve got a record for something violent I never did compliments of some of those Good Folks in Texas, A psych diagnosis compliments of the V.A. and government which I ‘now’ know was given merely to back up cops and lawyers in Texas about the first thing, I never got to develop my fledgling career in computers or marry anyone decent and have kids like most (even though I always wanted to) because I’m supposed to be some kind of woman-hater which is also a lie. So…. as for me, I ain’t got that much to lose. I do have my passport and am not currently on some cops shit-list so I might have to look for more fertile ground sometime in the future. What about you guys?
Interesting article, I am interested in the end game and how it affects my life, and this is what I have done:
I have opened a Swiss Bank Account funded in CHF and I suggest you all do so as well, perhaps while it is still legal to do so. (Hitler outlawed this un-German-like behavior and made it punishable by death) Don’t place your money in gold, it contains a Central Bank TRAP, subject to the BUBBLE EFFECT, and yields NO INTEREST. Practical applications are nearly nil. . . .
