STRAWBERRY STATEMENT-
The Movie That Breathed Fire
Into the Anti-Vietnam Protests.

Anarchy is best understood as Rebellion against UNJUST laws. The Yang [male positive force] of anarchy resists authority and causes disorder and is socially and politically incorrect by the norms of the status quo for it seeks the higher ground of justice.
The Yin or feminine passive force of anarchy births a new order out of the chaos and chaos is creativity in action.
In 2004 the International Court of Justice ruled that The Wall is a violation of International Law because it cuts through the West Bank appropriating Palestinian land and destroying Palestinian villages and economy to make way for further Israeli settlements, all of which are illegal under international law.
Negligently unreported by corporate media are the thousands of indigenous Palestinians and hundreds of Israelis and internationals who have been waging a major grassroots nonviolent campaign of resistance to the route of Israel’s Wall.
In November 2005, this reporter attended the Gainesville, Florida, Anarchist’s Against the Wall Power Point Lecture by Ayed Morrar from the West Bank village of Budrus and Jonathon Pollak, an intense young Israeli and committed activist and organizer for Anarchists Against the Wall/AAtW.
Pollak: “I was six years old at my first demonstration and active on my own at thirteen. I am 23 now. When they started to build the Apartheid Wall in the West Bank I would go a few times a week and watch them deceive the world. The Israeli government successfully marketed the Apartheid Wall as a security barrier. But it is all about segregation, separation and ethnic cleansing. The Apartheid Wall has put 76% [of what had been the village of] Jayous on the Israeli side of the Wall.”
“Not such a great shock when government lies to you.
“Civilian uprising and non-violent activism is not like the Gandhi movie. It’s not carrying posters and saying we don’t like your wall, go away. We stand in front of Caterpillar’s knowing we will be shot and arrested. I was shot five times in the last two years by rubber bullets which are 1/2 inch steel bullets covered with plastic. I have been shot in the head and the more I experience I have the scarier it is. One learns to recognize the ritual of it all: when the IDF will begin using the billy clubs, when the tear gas will come, when the bullets will come…..We are not a dialogue group, AAtW is an Israeli organization and we are not colonial liberators. All the strategy is done by Palestinians, we are with them seeking justice and giving support. There is no price to high to pay for freedom, equality and universal rights. Without justice there can be no peace.
“Although Israel marketed the Wall as a security barrier, logic suggests such a barrier would be as short and straight as possible. Instead, it snakes deep inside the West Bank, resulting in a route that is twice as long as the Green Line, the internationally recognized border. Israel chose the Wall’s path in order to dispossess Palestinians of the maximum land and water, to preserve as many Israeli settlements as possible, and to unilaterally determine a border.
“In order to build the Wall Israel is uprooting tens of thousands of ancient olive trees that for many Palestinians are also the last resource to provide food for their children. The Palestinian aspiration for an independent state is also threatened by the Wall, as it isolates villages from their mother cities and divides the West Bank into disconnected cantons [bantusans/ghettos]. The Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem conservatively estimates that 500,000 Palestinians are negatively impacted by the Wall.
“We believe that, as with Apartheid South Africa, Americans have a vital role to play in ending Israeli occupation – by divesting from companies that support Israeli occupation, boycotting Israeli products, coming to Palestine as witnesses, or standing with Palestinians in nonviolent resistance.” [1]
According to a UN report, Haaretz columnist Danny Rubinstein admitted that “Israel today was an apartheid State with four different Palestinian groups: those in Gaza, East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Israeli Palestinians, each of which had a different status…even if the wall followed strictly the line of the pre-1967 border, it would still not be justified. The two peoples needed cooperation rather than walls because they must be neighbors.” [2]
“An apartheid society is much more than just a ‘settler colony’. It involves specific forms of oppression that actively strip the original inhabitants of any rights at all, whereas civilian members of the invader caste are given all kinds of sumptuous privileges.” [3]
On May 14, 1948, The Declaration of the establishment of Israel affirmed that, “The State of Israel will be based on freedom, justice and peace as envisaged by the prophets of Israel: it will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion it will guarantee freedom of religion [and] conscience and will be faithful to the Charter of the United Nations.”
However, reality intrudes, for “The truth which is known to all; through its army, the government of Israel practices a brutal form of Apartheid in the territory it occupies. Its army has turned every Palestinian village and town into a fenced-in, or blocked-in, detention camp.”- Israeli Minister of Education, Shulamit Aloni quoted in the popular Israeli newspaper, Yediot Acharonot on December 20, 2006.
How could a state founded on “equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants” come to be such a state of hypocrisy?
A Little History:
On July 5, 1950, Israel enacted the Law of Return by which Jews anywhere in the world, have a “right” to immigrate to Israel on the grounds that they are returning to their own state, even if they have never been there before. [4]
On July 14, 1952: The enactment of the Citizenship/Jewish Nationality Law, results in Israel becoming the only state in the world to grant a particular national-religious group—the Jews—the right to settle in it and gain automatic citizenship. In 1953, South Africa’s Prime Minister Daniel Malan becomes the first foreign head of government to visit Israel and returns home with the message that Israel can be a source of inspiration for white South Africans. [IBID]
In 1962, South African Prime Minister Verwoerd declares that Jews “took Israel from the Arabs after the Arabs had lived there for a thousand years. In that I agree with them, Israel, like South Africa, is an apartheid state.” [IBID]
On August 1, 1967, Israel enacted the Agricultural Settlement Law, which bans Israeli citizens of non-Jewish nationality- Palestinian Arabs- from working on Jewish National Fund lands, well over 80% of the land in Israel. Knesset member Uri Avnery stated: “This law is going to expel Arab cultivators from the land that was formerly theirs and was handed over to the Jews.” [IBID]
On April 4, 1969, General Moshe Dayan is quoted in the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz telling students at Israel’s Technion Institute that “Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You don’t even know the names of these Arab villages, and I don’t blame you, because these geography books no longer exist. Not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either… There is not one single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population.”[IBID]
On April 28, 1971: C. L. Sulzberger, writing in The New York Times, quoted South African Prime Minister John Vorster as saying that Israel is faced with an apartheid problem, namely how to handle its Arab inhabitants. Sulzberger wrote: “Both South Africa and Israel are in a sense intruder states. They were built by pioneers originating abroad and settling in partially inhabited areas.” [IBID]
On September 13, 1978, in Washington, D.C. The Camp David Accords are signed by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and witnessed by President Jimmy Carter. The Accords reaffirm U.N. Resolutions 242 and 338, which prohibit acquisition of land by force, call for Israel’s withdrawal of military and civilian forces from the West Bank and Gaza, and prescribe ‘full autonomy’ for the inhabitants of the territories. Begin orally promises Carter to freeze all settlement activity during the subsequent peace talks. Once back in Israel, however, the Israeli prime minister continues to confiscate, settle, and fortify the occupied territories. [IBID]
On September 13, 1985, Rep. George Crockett (D-MI), after visiting the Israeli-occupied West Bank, compares the living conditions there with those of South African blacks and concludes that the West Bank is an instance of apartheid that no one in the U.S. is talking about. [IBID]
In July 2000, President Bill Clinton convenes the Camp David II Peace Summit between Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat. Clinton—not Barak—offers Arafat the withdrawal of some 40,000 Jewish settlers, leaving more than 180,000 in 209 settlements, all of which are interconnected by roads that cover approximately 10% of the occupied land. Effectively, this divides the West Bank into at least two non-contiguous areas and multiple fragments. Palestinians would have no control over the borders around them, the air space above them, or the water reserves under them. Barak called it a generous offer and Arafat rightly refused to sign. [IBID]
August 31, 2001: Durban, South Africa. Up to 50,000 South Africans march in support of the Palestinian people. In their Declaration by South Africans on Apartheid and the Struggle for Palestine they proclaim: “We, South Africans who lived for decades under rulers with a colonial mentality, see Israeli occupation as a strange survival of colonialism in the 21st century. Only in Israel do we hear of ‘settlements’ and ‘settlers.’ Only in Israel do soldiers and armed civilian groups take over hilltops, demolish homes, uproot trees and destroy crops, shell schools, churches and mosques, plunder water reserves, and block access to an indigenous population’s freedom of movement and right to earn a living. These human rights violations were unacceptable in apartheid South Africa and are an affront to us in apartheid Israel.” [IBID]
October 23, 2001: Ronnie Kasrils, a Jew and a minister in the South African government, co-authors a petition “Not in My Name,” signed by some 200 members of South Africa’s Jewish community, reads: “It becomes difficult, from a South African perspective, not to draw parallels with the oppression expressed by Palestinians under the hand of Israel and the oppression experienced in South Africa under apartheid rule.” [IBID]
Three years later, Kasrils will go to the Occupied Territories and conclude: “This is much worse than apartheid. Israeli measures, the brutality, make apartheid look like a picnic. We never had jets attacking our townships. We never had sieges that lasted month after month. We never had tanks destroying houses. We had armored vehicles and police using small arms to shoot people but not on this scale.” [IBID]
April 29, 2002: Boston, MA. South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu says he is “very deeply distressed” by what he observed in his recent visit to the Holy Land, adding, “It reminded me so much of what happened in South Africa.” The Nobel peace laureate said he saw “the humiliation of the Palestinians at checkpoints and roadblocks, suffering like us when young white police officers prevented us from moving about. Referring to Americans, he adds, “People are scared in this country to say wrong is wrong because the Jewish lobby is powerful—very powerful. Well, so what? The apartheid government was very powerful, but today it no longer exists.” [IBID]
From an email received from the AAtW on July 20, 2008:
The mounting legal costs of the joint Palestinian-Israeli struggle against the occupation, and the heightening legal persecution of Palestinian activists, are forcing us to send this urgent appeal for funds. We are asking for your support to continue the work of the Israeli group Anarchists Against the Wall (AATW), and perhaps even more importantly, to allow us to expand our legal fund in an attempt to also cover the legal costs of our Palestinian partners arrested at demonstrations.
Since 2003, the group has supported the Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation and specifically against Israel’s segregation wall. Week after week, AATW joins the Palestinian popular resistance against the wall, in diverse areas of the West Bank, including the villages of al-Ma’asara, south of Bethlehem, Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, Bil’in and recently, almost on a daily basis, Ni’ilim (http://www.awalls.org/topics/niilin) west of Ramallah. There, the army is taking extreme steps to suppress the demonstrations, such as occasionally firing live ammunition and imposing siege and curfew.
Hundreds of activists have been arrested and dozens indicted for their participation in the struggle. Fortunately, the group is represented by a dedicated lawyer, Adv. Gaby Lasky. [who] has tirelessly worked to defend activists arrested at demonstrations or direct actions in the West Bank and in Israel. Though the legal defense she provides AATW is almost a full-time job, she has agreed to be paid only a token fee. However, even despite a successful fundraising campaign last year, AATW still owes Adv. Lasky approximately $15,000.
Recently, we have seen an increase in the legal persecution of our Palestinian partners. In solidarity we are now fundraising to expand AATW’s existing legal fund to also cover defense costs for Palestinian arrestees. This is in addition to covering the existing aforementioned debt, and operational expenses such as communications and transportation.
We urge you to read this article in The Nation http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080804/gordon about the recent struggle in Ni’ilin, and to please make a donation that will enable us to continue this struggle.
In appreciation and solidarity.

“From Moses to Jeremiah and Isaiah, the Prophets taught…that the Jewish claim on the land of Israel was totally contingent on the moral and spiritual life of the Jews who lived there, and that the land would, as the Torah tells us, ‘vomit you out’ if people did not live according to the highest moral vision of Torah. Over and over again, the Torah repeated its most frequently stated mitzvah [command]: “When you enter your land, do not oppress the stranger; the other, the one who is an outsider of your society, the powerless one and then not only ‘you shall love your neighbor as yourself’ but also ‘you shall love the other.’” [5]

The Israelis who own and control the media in America (and Britain) were not in the slightest bit morally disturbed let alone outraged that their fellow countrymen were filching Russia’s wealth or acting in such a treacherous way to the country in which they had lived for most of their lives. They were much too pre-occupied with a far more serious world historical event – Monica Lewinsky wrapping her pretty, lip-stick coated, lips around Bill Clinton’s willy. Of course, if Bill had been a complete shabbat goy and given the Zionist state in Palestine all that it wanted, then the Zionist media in America would probably have given him their seal of approval and his affair would never have been mentioned.
Such is the power of the Israeli owned media in America that the president of the United States can invite members of the Zionists’ global criminal fraternity to meet with him in the white house, presumably to talk about how to spread Zionist-dominated democracies to all countries around the world, without fearing that the media will expose his criminal associates. “You would think it would be hot news when wanted men being hunted by European police suddenly pop up in the US particularly on Capitol Hill and at events attended by the US president. Yet, there was not a single AP story in the US on any of this. Not a single national network television or radio news program even mentioned these facts. In fact, Google and LexisNexis searches four days after these events took place turned up only three newspaper articles on them anywhere in the entire country.” (Alison Weir
‘Russia, Israel and Media Omissions’). “Prosecutors in Russia have been searching the world for a pair of oil tycoons who got on president Vladimir Putin’s bad side. Maybe they should have asked Putin’s friend President Bush. There in the audience joining Bush at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington on Thursday were two partners of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the billionaire imprisoned after defying the Kremlin. The two partners, Mikhail Brudno and Vladimir Dubov, were allowed into the United States – and the president’s company – despite Interpol notices filed at the request of the Russians. Dubov, who will turn 47 on Monday, and Brudno, 45, were major shareholders in Yukos along with Khodorkovsky, each holding about 7 percent of the firm, making them billionaires as well. When prosecutors targeted Khodorkovsky, Dubov and Brudno fled to Israel, where they obtained dual citizenship. Russian prosecutors asked Interpol, the Paris-based international police agency, to issue “red notices” for Dubov and Brudno, alerting member states that they are wanted on fraud charges. But U.S. officials said they saw no reason to honor the Interpol red notices and noted that the United States has no extradition treaty with Russia. Traveling on Israeli passports with long-term U.S. visas, Dubov and Brudno were not stopped when they landed.” (Peter Baker ‘Prayer Breakfast Includes Russian Fugitives’ Washington Post).One of the main reasons the Israelis who own and control the media in America never exposed what their colleagues and business associates were doing in Russia is because of the obvious parallels between Zionists’ control of Russia and Zionists’ control of America. In both Russia and America, the Zionists control the media, parliament/congress, and even to a large degree the presidency. If the Israeli owned American media started discussing the Zionists take-over of Russia even the most retarded Americans, many of whom have adopted Zionism as their religious ideology but yet bitterly resent accusations that they’ve been indoctrinated by Zionists, might start wondering if Israelis had already done to America what they had just done to Russia. This might even lead them to question whether it is right for Israelis to control not only Palestine but Russia and America. It might lead them to wonder whether the view promoted by the Israeli traitors in the Bush administration that ‘what is good for the Zionist state in Palestine is good for America’ could possibly be true when Zionist traitors in the Yeltsin government were arguing that ‘what is good for the Zionist state in Palestine is good for Russia’. Even worse is that American goyims might begin to feel as much contempt for their Zionist masters as Russian goyims have for their Jewish masters, “In Russia, the oligarchs are deeply loathed, considered villains who worked to bleed the country dry; during their reign many Russian citizens saw their life savings disappear overnight. (Alison Weir ‘Russia, Israel and Media Omissions’). But it would be wrong for American goyims to believe that the Israeli oligarchs in Russia were anything like as mendacious and murderous as America’s ziocon traitors. Sure, Russia’s Zionist traitors are a lot richer than their American neocon counterparts but America’s Zionist traitors are far more professional when it comes to lying, cheating, stealing, and murdering.The Israeli owned media in America has also been keeping quiet about another dirty secret they know about what their fellow countrymen are doing in American politics. “For years, the neocons’ push for war against Iraq was largely uncovered by the US media. For even longer, the neocons’ close connections to Israel have gone largely unmentioned in mainstream American news reports. As a result, very few Americans know to what degree many of those responsible for the tragic US invasion and occupation of Iraq have been motivated by Israeli concerns. The omission in coverage of Iraq has been profoundly disastrous, both for the Middle East and for Americans. In fact, it is quite likely that only history will show the true extent of this disaster. It is deeply troubling to see the same kind of omission occurring on Russia.” (Alison Weir ‘Russia, Israel and Media Omissions’). The Israeli owned media in America doesn’t want American goyims being worried about the loyalties of the Israelis who have forced American administrations into adopting Zionist policies from the Ford administration onwards.It is commonly appreciated that it is not politically kosher to explore the thesis concerning Jewish world domination. But, given Zionists’ control of America and Britain, and the Zionist takeover of Russia, what other theory fits the facts so precisely?If a leftist Israeli historian such as Benny Morris, a “paragon of dispassionate Israeli scholarship” argues, “The Arab world as it is today is barbarian,” and believes that Islamic and Arab culture is “a world in which human life doesn’t have the same value as it does in the West,” and that Palestinians are barbaric, “a very sick society,” and should be treated “the way we treat individuals who are serial killers. . . . Something like a cage has to be built for them.”" (Kathleen Christison
‘American Jewish sensitivities to criticism of Israel’) then what does this say about the utter barbarity and depravity of the more extreme Zionists in the illegal Zionist state in Palestine?Christison concludes, “Morris’s blunt soul-bearing has lifted the last barrier of propriety to the open expression of raw Arab hatred. One longs for some gigantic outcry of opposition or disgust over this confession of deep bigotry, but there has been none. Except for a few letters to the editor of Ha’aretz from American Jews, the interview has aroused little attention in the Jewish-American community: no denunciation, no shock, little or no discussion on any but the most progressive Jewish e-mail lists. You have to assume that, however awkward Morris’s blunt language may be, he is speaking for a large segment of American Jews who say they oppose the occupation, say they hate Sharon, say they hate Israel’s oppression of the Palestinians, but who do nothing about any of these things and who in the end would not grieve, either for the Palestinians or for the Jewish soul, if Israel wiped the Palestinians off the map.” (Kathleen Christison ‘American Jewish sensitivities to criticism of Israel’).What makes all of this amusing is that in the over-industrialized world, liberals, leftists, greens, and progressives, regard the use of such phrases as Zionist world domination or Zionist controlled media as having no relationship to empirical realities. But what this chorus of denunciations indicates of course is the pervasiveness of Jewish world domination. Liberal/lefty/greenie/progressives seem to be suffering from Zionist indoctrination almost as much as, right wing Christians i.e. the people they disdain for supposedly suffering from political naivety.Thankfully Russian president Putin managed to wrested a lot of control away from the Jewish oligarchs in Russia, something that George Bush wouldn’t even contemplate doing in America.
Firstly, Jewish power to control America has built up slowly since the second world war. At first America’s Jewish lobbies seemed to have no desire to try and control American policies on a day to day, policy by policy basis. The power of the Jewish lobby to force American administrations into adopting policies that were beneficial to the Jewish state in Palestine but detrimental to American interests was used sparingly. The most blatant example of this came in 1973 when Arab armies were gaining the upper hand against the illegal Jewish state in Palestine. President nixon had to decide whether he would intervene and on which side. After all, America relied on Arab oil just like the rest of the world. According to the oil theory of politics this decision should have been a no brainer. Firstly, Arabic/Islamic countries had vast quantities of oil while the Zionist state had none. Secondly, there was nothing that the Zionist state could do for America that one or other of the American sponsored Arab/Islamic dictators could not do. Thirdly, geopolitically, America also needed to lure Arab countries from the clutches of the Soviet empire. And yet, Nixon choose to support the Zionist state. “When Israel faced defeat before the united armies of Egypt and Syria, Sec. Of State Henry Kissinger ordered America armaments flown into the Israel-occupied Sinai Peninsula, giving Israel a pivotal advantage against her Arab foes. The ensuing Arab outrage produced the great oil embargo of 1973, sending the U.S. into a debilitating recession for the better part of a decade.” (Mark Green with Wendy Campbell
‘Exit Neo-Conservatives, Enter Neo-Liberals’). In other words, the Zionist lobby was powerful enough even in the 1970s to force America into supporting the illegal Zionist state in Palestine even though this meant massive oil price rises that seriously damaged the American, and the global, economy and could have permanently alienated the Arab world pushing it further into the arms of the Soviet Union.Since the second world war, Zionists have acquired more and more of the American media until they are now its dominating force. They have majority control, verging on a monopoly, over the American media. As a consequence, they are able to pump out Zionist propaganda to tens of millions of Americans who, not surprisingly, have come to support the Zionist media’s views on the Middle East.Secondly, Israeli lobbyists in America fund both American political parties and thereby control the American congress. The Republican and Democratic parties are simply the international branches of the Likud party governing Palestine.
Thirdly, Jews in America would not have such enormous political power without the support of non-Jews – some are shabbat goys who work for Israeli owned companies while others are the victims of Zionist indoctrination i.e. Zionization. In the late 1970s the Israeli neocons set out to win mass support for the Republican party by winning over America’s so-called Christian moral majority. In general, it can be argued that if one group of people manages to persuade a second group of people to follow their ideas then plainly the first group is in a dominant position over the second group. And this is exactly what has happened in America. Zionists have managed to persuade, or financially entice, non-Jews to uphold Zionist values.
Most commentators look at the size of America’s Christian movement and put 2 and 2 together to make 23. They conclude that Christian evangelicals are the country’s dominating political influence. It is true that Christian evangelism has grown considerably in political power since the 1970s but the particular strain of evangelism that has flourished has been one which has been groomed, supported, and financed, by the Zionist lobby because it promotes Zionist objectives. The Jewish neocons succeeded in transforming the Republican party into a popular political party which supports Zionist values. Much more critically, if Christian evangelists really dominated American politics they would concentrate on pursuing domestic campaigns to turn America into a Christian state i.e. ending the constitutional separation of church and state in America. But this is not the case. Christian evangelists give absolute political priority to the racist Zionist state in Palestine even over campaigns concerning domestic issues. Christian evangelists spend more time, effort, and money, campaigning for total Jewish control over Palestine than they do in campaigning for a Christian control over America.
Zionists in America are implacably opposed to the abolition of the separation between church and state and have deterred American Christians from campaigning to create a Christian state in America – while at the same time using American Christians to promote a racially pure, Jewish state in Palestine where there is little separation between church and state. In other words, in the power battle between America’s Zionists and Christian evangelicals, the former are plainly more politically powerful than the latter. In america, the continued constitutional separation of Christian churches from the state symbolizes the dominate position of the Zionist lobby over Christian evangelism.
America’s Christian evangelists are better described as de-Christianized Zionists. Firstly, they believe in the Jewish god of revenge rather than the christian god of forgiveness: they believe in the old testament more than they do the new testament with the exception of the book of revelations. Secondly, they give priority to a Judaic state in Palestine rather than a Christian state in America. Given that these victims of Zionist ideology are more concerned about foreign, rather than domestic, issues they could be referred to as de-Americanized, de-Christianized Zionists. America’s political leaders are not true Christians or even true Americans but Zionist traitors who use Christianity to win elections solely in order to promote foreign policies supporting the illegal Zionist state in Palestine.
Fourthly, in the early 1990s a group of American politicians, who happened to be Jewish, wrote a book entitled ‘Project for a New American Century’ in which they advocated new policies for the Jewish state in Palestine that would undermine what little political power that America has over the Jewish state. In general, when politicians in one country write books advocating policies to boost the powers of a second country over their country then this is treason. The Jewish authors of the PNAC are traitors to America. The ‘Project for a New American Century’ is better understood as an updated version of the ‘Protocols of the Elders of Zion’.
Fifthly, much more remarkable than the Jewish take-over of American politics which happened over a period of many decades, was the Jewish take-over of Russia in a way which is remarkably similar to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Because they possessed vast fortunes from the usurpation of virtually all of Russia’s natural resources, they were able to take control of the Russian media and use it to persuade tens of millions of Russians to vote for Boris Yeltsin who was virtually on his death bed – indeed, the day after his election he suffered a heart attack and took no further part in politics.
America is the world’s only hyperpower. But Israelis control America’s media and political system which ipso facto makes them the world’s rulers. The Zionist state in Palestine is not an American colony since there are few Americans in the Knesset or in Zionist administrations. On the contrary, America is a colony of the Jewish state in Palestine because there are so many Jews in American politics and American administrations.

In the last 15 years or so, as a society we have had access to more information than ever before in modern history because of the Internet. There are approximately 1 billion Internet users in the world B and any one of these users can theoretically communicate in real time with any other on the planet. The Internet has been the greatest technological achievement of the 20th century by far, and has been recognized as such by the global community. The free transfer of information, uncensored, unlimited and untainted, still seems to be a dream when you think about it. Whatever field that is mentioned- education, commerce, government, news, entertainment, politics and countless other areas- have been radically affected by the introduction of the Internet. And mostly, it’s good news, except when poor judgements are made and people are taken advantage of. Scrutiny and oversight are needed, especially where children are involved. However, when there are potential profits open to a corporation, the needs of society don’t count. Take the recent case in Canada with the behemoths, Telus and Rogers rolling out a charge for text messaging without any warning to the public. It was an arrogant and risky move for the telecommunications giants because it backfired. People actually used Internet technology to deliver a loud and clear message to these companies and that was to scrap the extra charge. The people used the power of the Internet against the big boys and the little guys won.
However, the issue of text messaging is just a tiny blip on the radar screens of Telus and another company, Bell Canada, the two largest Internet Service Providers (ISP’S) in Canada. Our country is being used as a test case to drastically change the delivery of Internet service forever. The change will be so radical that it has the potential to send us back to the horse and buggy days of information sharing and access.
In the upcoming weeks watch for a report in Time Magazine that will attempt to smooth over the rough edges of a diabolical plot by Bell Canada and Telus, to begin charging per site fees on most Internet sites. The plan is to convert the Internet into a cable-like system, where customers sign up for specific web sites, and then pay to visit sites beyond a cutoff point.
From my browsing (on the currently free Internet) I have discovered that the ‘demise’ of the free Internet is slated for 2010 in Canada, and two years later around the world. Canada is seen a good choice to implement such shameful and sinister changes, since Canadians are viewed as being laissez fair, politically uninformed and an easy target. The corporate marauders will iron out the wrinkles in Canada and then spring the new, castrated version of the Internet on the rest of the world, probably with little fanfare, except for some dire warnings about the ‘evil’ of the Internet (free) and the CEO’s spouting about ‘safety and security’. These buzzwords usually work pretty well.
What will the Internet look like in Canada in 2010? I suspect that the ISP’s will provide a “package” program as companies like Cogeco currently do. Customers will pay for a series of websites as they do now for their television stations. Television stations will be available on-line as part of these packages, which will make the networks happy since they have lost much of the younger market which are surfing and chatting on their computers in the evening. However, as is the case with cable television now, if you choose something that is not part of the package, you know what happens. You pay extra.
And this is where the Internet (free) as we know it will suffer almost immediate, economic strangulation. Thousands and thousands of Internet sites will not be part of the package so users will have to pay extra to visit those sites! In just an hour or two it is possible to easily visit 20-30 sites or more while looking for information. Just imagine how high these costs will be.
At present, the world condemns China because that country restricts certain websites. “They are undemocratic; they are removing people’s freedom; they don’t respect individual rights; they are censoring information,” are some of the comments we hear. But what Bell Canada and Telus have planned for Canadians is much worse than that. They are planning the death of the Internet (free) as we know it, and I expect they’ll be hardly a whimper from Canadians. It’s all part of the corporate plan for a New World Order and virtually a masterstroke that will lead to the creation of billions and billions of dollars of corporate profit at the expense of the working and middle classes.
There are so many other implications as a result of these changes, far too many to elaborate on here. Be aware that we will all lose our privacy because all websites will be tracked as part of the billing procedure, and we will be literally cut off from 90% of the information that we can access today. The little guys on the Net will fall likes flies; Bloggers and small website operators will die a quick death because people will not pay to go to their sites and read their pages.
Ironically, the only medium that can save us is the one we are trying to save- the Internet (free). This article will be posted on my Blog, www.realitycheck.typepad.com and I encourage people and groups to learn more about this issue. Canadians can keep the Internet free just as they kept text messaging free. Don’t wait for the federal politicians. They will do nothing to help us.
I would welcome a letter to the editor of the Standard Freeholder from a spokesperson from Bell Canada or Telus telling me that I am absolutely wrong in what I have written, and that no such changes to the Internet are being planned, and that access to Internet sites will remain FREE in the years to come. In the meantime, I encourage all of you to write to the media, ask questions, phone the radio station, phone a friend, or think of something else to prevent what appears to me to be inevitable.
Maintaining Internet (free) access is the only way we have a chance at combatting the global corporate takeover, the North American Union, and a long list of other deadly deeds that the elite in society have planned for us. Yesterday was too late in trying to protect our rights and freedoms. We must now redouble our efforts in order to give our children and grandchildren a fighting chance in the future.

Here is a perfect example of the “most moral army in the world” in action. This video is not an anomaly;it is one of perhaps hundreds (most of them have been pulled off You Tube when you know who complained to the corporate guys. Our State Dept. issued a report saying that comparing Israel or its actions to Nazism is “anti-Semitic.” What do you think? Did you need to see a swastika on that man carrying the Star of David to see his fascist actions as extremely repugnant, like something out of the Third Reich? These are the guys that American Christians think we should start world war III to protect them for natural human retaliation for barbaric acts such as you are about to witness. These aren’t God’s “Chosen People,” unless God is some kind of monster. That’s not the God that I know. We have to stop these animals and put an end to their parasitic feeding on America’s lifeblood, and their ceaseless attacks upon the most defenseless among us.
Has the Palestinian Authority smelled a rat in east Jerusalem?

In the past the news agency, which is controlled and funded by PA President Mahmoud Abbas’s office, has accused Israel of using wild pigs to drive Palestinians out of their homes and fields in the West Bank. In the reports, Palestinians were quoted by the agency as saying that they had seen Israelis release herds of wild pigs, which later attacked them.
But this is the first time that Palestinians have spoken of rats being used against them.
“Rats have become an Israeli weapon to displace and expel Arab residents of the occupied Old City of Jerusalem,” Wafa reported under the title, “Settlers flood the Old City of Jerusalem with rats.” The report continued: “Over the past two months, dozens of settlers come to the alleyways and streets of the Old City carrying iron cages full of rats. They release the rats, which find shelter in open sewage systems.”
Wafa quoted unnamed Arab residents as saying that they had tried to eliminate the rats with various poisons, but to no avail.
Israel’s goal was to “increase the suffering of the [Arabs] in Jerusalem by turning their lives into a real tragedy and forcing them to evict their homes and leave the city,” Hasan Khater, secretary-general of the Islamic-Christian Front in Jerusalem, was quoted as saying.
Jerusalem Municipality spokesman Gidi Schmerling said that the report was “pure fiction,” and had no connection to reality.
