			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is interesting that before teaming up with the former Prince Sihanouk, Pol Pot used to hate him.  This reminds me of the Lyceum.  This, however, is a bit more serious than web words!  Early on, Pol Pot fought with Sihanouk, but was willing to adapt his alliances when it became necessary to do so.</p>
<p>I understand that some of the comments by viewers are very &#8220;one-sided,&#8221; but in general the video is pretty good.  It shows that Pol Pot was focused but very secretive and determined.  He was calculating, but appeared very gentle.  He worked his way from the bottom to the top.  He was sold out by the Vietnamese.  I didn&#8217;t know that.  That&#8217;s why he hated the Vietnamese.  Cambodia was sacrificed to France when other Southeast Asian countries collaborated for Independence.</p>
<p>It noted that he adopted some aspects of Marx, but was really not a hardliner &#8220;anti-revisionist&#8221; Marxist.  In truth he was more of a progressive nationalistic type.</p>
<p>His rejection of urbanization is important too.  Mao was similar in his approach though for Mao it was pragmatic.  For Pol Pot it was a matter of principle.</p>
<p>What do you think?  Was Pol Pot himself a criminal, or is he the ultimate victim of American, Soviet, Vietnamese and French imperialism?</p>
<p>Noam Chomsky defends Pol Pot. Pol Pot may have saved more people than he killed.  Nobody said anything negative during the Cold War.  It was only after Russia fell, when China became the next &#8220;big Satan,&#8221; that the &#8220;Maoist&#8221; Pol Pot was demonized by America.</p>

<p>I do not like liberals, but who can blame them?  The &#8220;Zionist movement&#8221; is nothing but a play pin where babies cry about being persecuted.  It is the handicap parking space of the Caucasian world.  It is not a legitimate socialist or nationalist movement.</p>

It is important to note that the person who is making these comments is not &#8220;a figurehead&#8221; or &#8220;a representative&#8221; of the Islamic Republic of Iran.  Still, this is an interesting article and worth posting.  Long ago, I warned other posters that anti-imperialism cannot be reduced simply to anti-Americanism.  There are different types of nations, even if they all oppose America.</p>
<blockquote><p>TEHRAN, Iran (AP) &#8211; A radical cleric called Saturday for the creation of a &#8220;Greater Iran&#8221; that would rule over the entire Middle East and Central Asia, in an event that he said would herald the coming of Islam&#8217;s expected messiah.</p>
<p>Ayatollah Mohammad Bagher Kharrazi said the creation of what he calls an Islamic United States is a central aim of the political party he leads called Hezbollah, or Party of God, and that he hoped to make it a reality if they win the next presidential election.</p>
<p>Kharrazi&#8217;s comments reveal the thinking of a growing number of hard-liners in Iran, many of whom have become more radical during the postelection political crisis and the international standoff over the country&#8217;s nuclear program. Kharrazi, however, is not highly influential in Iran&#8217;s clerical hierarchy and his views do not represent those of the current government.</p>
<p>Kharrazi&#8217;s comments were published Saturday in his newspaper, Hezbollah.</p>
<p>He said he envisioned a Greater Iran that would stretch from Afghanistan to Israel, bringing about the destruction of the Jewish state.</p>
<p>He also said its formation would be a prelude to the reappearance of the Mahdi, a revered ninth-century saint known as the Hidden Imam, whom Muslims believe will reappear before judgment day to end tyranny and promote justice in the world.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Islamic United States will be an introduction to the formation of the global village of the oppressed and that will be a prelude to the single global rule of the Mahdi,&#8221; the Hezbollah newspaper quoted him as saying.</p>
<p>Besides Israel, he said the union would also destroy Shiite Iran&#8217;s other regional adversaries, whom he called &#8220;cancerous tumors.&#8221; He singled out secular Arab nationalists such as members of Saddam Hussein&#8217;s Baath Party in Iraq, as well as followers of the austere version of Sunni Islam practiced primarily in Saudi Arabia that is known as Wahabism.</p>
<p>Saudi Arabia and other Sunni Arab nations have watched Iran&#8217;s growing regional clout with deep concern.</p>
<p>The growing voice of hard-liners like Kharrazi has deepened worries even if it appears unlikely such a divisive figure would win the 2013 presidential election.</p>
<p>Still, even President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Thursday that he expects the government which follows his to be &#8220;ten times more revolutionary.&#8221; </p></blockquote>

This is an article that I found interesting enough to post.  There is not really much more for me to comment.</p>
<blockquote><p>How much longer will the American public tolerate the anti-white rhetoric coming from the mouths of liberal politicians and the pen of the media?</p>
<p>Over the past few months, CNN, MSNBC, the Washington Post, the Huffington Post and Democrat politicians, including former President Clinton and others, have questioned the legitimacy of the Tea Party movement because, as they say, it is “too white.”</p>
<p>To them, such “whiteness” is evidence of “racism.” They are attempting to drumbeat into the American consciousness two principles: one, that political speech and positions vocalized primarily by white people is, basically, invalid; and, two, opinions emanating from non-liberal white people is motivated by racism.</p>
<p>Throughout the entire healthcare debate, liberals assigned “racism” to those opposed to the massive overhaul. In fact, the opposition among the middle class had nothing to do with “hidden racism” but was a neutral and understandable desire to maintain for themselves the liberty to choose their own doctor, the fear of diminished quality care, the horror of being over-taxed to a degree that leaves little disposable income for working parents for their own family, and the bedrock, historic American belief of self-responsibility.</p>
<p>Similarly, those wanting closed borders and an end to illegals entering the country and blithely living off taxpayer largess are accused of “white racism.” when the underlying reason has to do with protecting themselves from crime, rape, murder, property damage and the closing of schools, hospitals and other essential services due to local and state bankruptcy born of the expenses of subsidizing illegals.</p>
<p>The left is trying to muzzle its political opposition by brainwashing us into accepting their mantra that non-liberal whites are racist. Our reply in proving that we are not racist has been to show that blacks are among Tea Party members. To be sure, that is important, but, by so doing, we are capitulating to the premise that by itself “white” opinion is somehow invalid.</p>
<p>Nowhere in the Bill of Rights is found a footnote or asterisk that freedom of speech or assembly is conditioned on its racial diversity, its “un-whiteness.” Our answer to those who ask “how many blacks, Muslims, or Hispanics are members of your group, should be: “It doesn’t matter, what matters is the cogency of our argument.”</p>
<p>We should have enough confidence to answer: “The problem is not with our beliefs, rather with those who do not share our core American values or are unwilling to gather and associate with a group overwhelmingly white”.</p>
<p>Freedom of speech and assembly should not be based on a quota system. Will we now have a situation in speech, like that in hiring, that requires 12% black or 11% Hispanic or 2% Muslim for that speech to be politically valid and acceptable?</p>
<p>What started out years ago as inclusiveness of others has dangerously degenerated into an exclusion of speech and validity if exercised by the white community. Obsessive identification with minority-group views has led to, among elite liberals, a complete indifference and callousness to the feelings and yearnings of the majority white population.<br />
Truthfully, this has always been the goal of liberal multiculturalism. Its intention was never to simply open up our society but to close down those representing the historic ethos and values of America: the white middle class.</p>
<p>For the liberal left, other cultures are not simply to be admitted but should reign supreme—a tyranny of the minority over the majority, orchestrated by white liberals, and minority power brokers, wishing to subdue the majority standing in the way of their political and cultural hegemony, and feeling righteous doing so out of a conviction that non-liberal white people are racist and must be stomped down.</p>
<p>The truth is that many in the liberal community preaching to us about racism are, themselves, bigots against white Christians, labeling them red-necks, un-educated, racists, and simpletons. No one calls them on their bigotry since it’s difficult to conceive that those always touting civil rights and diversity are imbued with their own bigotry. Their never-ending indictment of American society as racist cloaks what is their own variety of bigotry.<br />
The crusade of the liberal establishment to sew into the collective consciousness a belief that whites are inherently racist and “extremist” was displayed in the media’s endless speculation about a “white male” as the perpetrator during the first hours of the Times Square terrorist incident and yet played down the Moslem origin of the actual terrorist when so discovered. Even Rep. Jerold Nadler (D.-N.Y.) and Mayor Michael Bloomberg alluded to a white person “angry over the healthcare bill.” In the liberal mind, white people are closet Timothy McVeighs. It is a subtle bigotry that the American public dare not allow seep into their world view. It is a presumption which must be decried as racism against the white majority.</p>
<p>This belief is so ingrained that after the discovery of the Pakistani terrorist, Mayor Bloomberg warned that: “No reprisals and backlash against the Pakistani community will be tolerated.” Why the need to make this warning given that since 9/11 and numerous Islamic attacks since then, there have been no burnings of mosques or backlash riots against Islamic communities?</p>
<p>Instead of liberals admiring the majority, white community for their monumental restraint and fairness, liberals continue to peddle to “white America” how our evil impulses must be continually reigned in. President Obama has often delivered this very same message, and in a weekly radio address appealed to “Blacks, Muslims, Latinos and women to coalesce into standing behind his hopes and agenda for America”.</p>
<p>The reason for this never-ending liberal portrayal of “racist and extreme white-male America” is to intimidate us into silence. The left knows that the only thing standing in the way of their complete takeover of American government, culture and values is disenfranchising the legitimacy of the middle class. America is unique and different than other countries that are divided into a ruling class and a recipient class, with a very weak middle class. Americanism, on the other hand, comes from a prosperous, self-assured and vigorous middle class.</p>
<p>Liberals cannot out-rightly condemn the middle class. They have decided to strip it of its self-confidence and legitimacy by categorizing it as “white,” with all the orchestrated belittlement and demonization of whiteness we are now hearing. The economy is being transformed in such a way that entrepreneurship and small business, the backbone of the middle class, is being thwarted. An impoverished middle class is an impotent class. The elites are engaged in the destruction of the historic American ethos and value system embodied in the American majority. They want to convince us that “white values” are dangerous. What we have here is nothing less than cultural ethnic cleansing.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_AL_QAIDA_IN_IRAN?SITE=NVREN&#038;SECTION=HOME&#038;TEMPLATE=DEFAULT"><u>The link</u></a><br />
Note to Washington&#8230;When creating propaganda, first remember that Sunni Fundamentalism (Al-Qaida) is not Shia Fundamentalism (Iran) and that neither are Ba&#8217;athism (Iraq).</p>
<blockquote><p> WASHINGTON (AP) &#8212; Al-Qaida operatives who have been detained for years in Iran have been making their way quietly in and out of the country, raising the prospect that Iran is loosening its grip on the terror group so it can replenish its ranks, former and current U.S. intelligence officials say.</p>
<p>This movement could indicate that Iran is re-examining its murky relationship with al-Qaida at a time when the U.S. is stepping up drone attacks in Pakistan and weakening the group&#8217;s leadership. Any influx of manpower could hand al-Qaida a boost in morale and expertise and threaten to disrupt stability in the region.</p>
<p>U.S. officials say intelligence points to a worrisome increase in movement lately.</p>
<p>Details about al-Qaida&#8217;s movements and U.S. efforts to monitor them were outlined to The Associated Press in more than a dozen interviews with current and former intelligence and counterterrorism officials, most of whom spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.</p>
<p>The relationship between Iran and al-Qaida has been shrouded in mystery since the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, when many al-Qaida leaders fled into Iran and were arrested. The Shiite regime there is generally hostile to the Sunni terrorist group, but they have an occasional relationship of convenience based on their shared enemy, the U.S.</p>
<p>U.S. intelligence officials have tried wiretapping and satellite imagery to watch the men. The CIA even established a highly classified program &#8211; code-named RIGOR &#8211; to study whether it could track and kill terrorists such as al-Qaida in Iran. Results have been mixed. Monitoring and understanding al-Qaida in Iran remains one of the most difficult jobs in U.S. intelligence.</p>
<p>&#8220;This has been a dark, a black zone for us,&#8221; former CIA officer Bruce Riedel said. &#8220;What exactly is the level of al-Qaida activity in Iran has always been a mystery.&#8221;</p>
<p>That activity has waxed and waned, officials said. Sometimes the men could travel or communicate with other operatives. Other times, they were under tight constraints and the U.S. considered them to be out of commission. There was no obvious pattern to the movement.</p>
<p>The departures began in late 2008 as the U.S. stepped up international efforts to sanction Iran for its nuclear program. Saad bin Laden, one of Osama bin Laden&#8217;s sons, was allowed to leave the country around that time with about four other al-Qaida figures.</p>
<p>Since then, U.S. intelligence officials say, others have followed. One former CIA official familiar with the travel identified the men as moneymen and planners, the kind of manpower al-Qaida needs after a series of successful U.S. drone attacks on al-Qaida&#8217;s ranks. But a senior counterterrorism official said the U.S. believes anyone who has left Iran recently is likely to be lower-level.</p>
<p>A major concern among U.S. officials is that this movement foreshadows the release of al-Qaida&#8217;s &#8220;management council,&#8221; including some of al-Qaida&#8217;s most dangerous figures.</p>
<p>Most recently, the concern focused on Saif al-Adel, an Egyptian-born confidant of Osama bin Laden who is on the FBI&#8217;s most wanted list in connection with the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. In the past year or so, intelligence officials circulated a bulletin saying al-Adel, one of al-Qaida&#8217;s founding fathers, was traveling to Damascus, Syria. The U.S. is offering a $5 million reward for his capture.</p>
<p>The Damascus connection ultimately was disproved but, underscoring the difficulty of monitoring the men, U.S. intelligence officials are divided on whether Saif has been allowed to travel in the region. The senior counterterrorism official said there&#8217;s no clear evidence Saif has left Iran.</p>
<p>&#8220;Regardless of where he is, we haven&#8217;t forgotten about him or stopped looking for him,&#8221; said Don Borelli, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI&#8217;s terrorism task force in New York. &#8220;He&#8217;s a most-wanted terrorist and we intend to find him.&#8221;</p>
<p>The roster of al-Qaida figures in Iran is something of a who&#8217;s who for the terror group. One is Abu Hafs the Mauritanian, a bin Laden adviser who helped form the modern al-Qaida by merging bin Laden&#8217;s operation with Ayman al-Zawahiri&#8217;s Islamic Jihad. Al-Qaida&#8217;s longtime chief financial officer, Abu Saeed al-Masri, has been held there. So have bin Laden&#8217;s spokesman, Suleiman Abu Ghaith, and Mustafa Hamid, an al-Qaida trainer with a terrorism pedigree that spans decades.</p>
<p>Several members of bin Laden&#8217;s family also have been under house arrest.</p>
<p>All fled into Iran after al-Qaida&#8217;s core split up after the 9/11 attacks. Bin Laden led some confidants toward the mountainous border with Pakistan. Al-Adel led others into Iran, which has historically allowed al-Qaida members safe passage through the country.</p>
<p>Iran arrested the men in 2003 and has held them as both a bargaining chip with the U.S. and as a buffer against an al-Qaida attack.</p>
<p>Using spy satellites, the U.S. has monitored vehicles in and out of the compound where the al-Qaida operatives have been held. U.S. officials have gleaned some information about the men through intercepted Iranian phone conversations and e-mails. But generally, the U.S. has only limited information about them.</p>
<p>If Iran were to release any of the major al-Qaida figures, it would be a violation of a United Nations resolution. A senior U.S. counterterrorism official said Iran is well aware of U.S. concerns that they not be released.</p>
<p>Late in President George W. Bush&#8217;s administration, the CIA began developing a broad and lethal counterterrorism program, RIGOR, that targeted an array of terrorists in different countries. Part of the program examined the possibility of finding and eliminating al-Qaida inside Iran, former intelligence officials said.</p>
<p>They described the program as a feasibility study. One aspect was to figure out whether the CIA could slip spies into Iran to locate and possibly kill al-Qaida figures. RIGOR was separate from an earlier program involving contractors from Blackwater Worldwide.</p>
<p>RIGOR existed on the books for about two years but never progressed any further. CIA Director Leon Panetta canceled RIGOR last year. A U.S. official familiar with the program said a list of specific targets had not yet been identified when the program was nixed.</p>
<p>U.S. officials realized that things in Iran were changing in the waning days of Bush&#8217;s administration when Saad bin Laden crossed into Pakistan. The administration took the unusual step of announcing bin Laden&#8217;s move and freezing his assets. As many as four others were believed to have been with him.</p>
<p>&#8220;This served in large part as a symbolic act to remind both Iran and al-Qaida that we are watching this relationship,&#8221; said Juan Zarate, Bush&#8217;s former deputy national security adviser for counterterrorism. &#8220;We were concerned operationally about his movements, which was another reason for the designation.&#8221;</p>
<p>In July, intelligence officials revealed that Saad bin Laden was probably killed in a drone airstrike. Intelligence officials suspected he was traveling with Abu Khayr al-Masry, an Egyptian who had also been held in Iran. Officials believe al-Masry &#8211; an al-Zawahiri deputy &#8211; is alive and in Iran.</p>
<p>At the time, officials didn&#8217;t believe bin Laden&#8217;s departure was an isolated event.</p>
<p>Indeed, it wasn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>Since Saad bin Laden left Iran, other al-Qaida figures have followed, current and former officials say. They are suspected to be taking smuggling routes heading toward Saudi Arabia or the tribal areas of northwest Pakistan. Last fall, top CIA officers received intelligence reports suggesting the release of several al-Qaida members from Iran, according to a former CIA official.</p>
<p>One of the men placed a phone call to a relative in Saudi Arabia. The call was made from Baluchistan, a western Pakistan province bordering both Iran and Afghanistan. It is known as a transit point for al-Qaida operatives.</p>
<p>But even when they have known that al-Qaida had traveled, U.S. officials say they have rarely understood the purpose.</p>
<p>The activity comes as Iran allowed Osama bin Laden&#8217;s daughter Iman to leave the country in March and settle in Syria. Details are murky.</p>
<p>&#8220;Clearly, there&#8217;s something going on on the Iranian front,&#8221; said Riedel, the former CIA officer who is now a Brookings Institution scholar.</p>
<p>Some experts believe that anyone from al-Qaida freed to leave Iran must be returning to the battlefield. Others believe that, with al-Qaida families left behind, terrorists may actually be working for Iran, gathering intelligence or passing messages before returning to Iran.</p>
<p>Either way, it&#8217;s being noticed. Clare Lopez, a former CIA officer and a senior fellow at Center for Security Policy, says it&#8217;s not a good sign.</p>
<p>&#8220;Movement like this doesn&#8217;t augur well,&#8221; she said.</p></blockquote>

While I realize the fundamental errors of American imperialism, I continue to reject the line that suggests that because Islamic fundamentalists are at the mercy of Americans, that Islam is fundamentally a progressive religion deserving wholesale support of the political dissidents in America and also the true Marxist-Leninists.  Islam remains a religion with contrary tenants to other political theories, and I will never pretend otherwise.</p>
<blockquote><p> A Lebanese man sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia on charges of witchcraft is due to be beheaded this week, his lawyer said on Wednesday, urging officials and rights groups to intervene on his behalf.</p>
<p>&#8220;Last night we got news through unofficial channels that Ali Sabat would be beheaded within 48 hours,&#8221; May el-Khansa, Sabat&#8217;s attorney in Beirut told AFP.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have since been contacting Lebanese officials, including President Michel Sleiman and Lebanon&#8217;s ambassador to Saudi Arabia to appeal his case.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sabat was sentenced to death in November of last year by a Saudi court for practicing witchcraft.</p>
<p>He was arrested in May 2008 by the religious police in Medina, where he was on a pilgrimage before returning to his native Lebanon.</p>
<p>The case against him was brought after he gave advice and made predictions on Lebanese television.</p>
<p>Khansa said Lebanon&#8217;s ambassador to Saudi Arabia was in contact with Sabat and someone from the embassy had visited him on Wednesday in his jail cell.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is very important that we save the life of this one person,&#8221; she said. &#8220;He is not a criminal.&#8221;</p>
<p>She added that Sabat&#8217;s family was in shock and that his mother was seriously ill with doctors saying she could die anytime.</p>
<p>Rights groups have expressed concern about Sabat&#8217;s case and similar ones pending in Saudi Arabia and have accused Saudi courts of sanctioning a literal witch hunt by the religious police.</p>
<p>Saudi Arabia has no clear legal definition on the charge of witchcraft and judges are given discretionary power in determining what constitutes a crime and what sentence to impose.</p>
<p>In November 2007, Mustafa Ibrahim, an Egyptian working as a pharmacist in Saudi Arabia was beheaded after he was found guilty of sorcery.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the American Party of Labor (<a href="http://theredphoenix.wordpress.com/2010/03/20/anniversary-of-the-iraq-occupation/">Red Phoenix</a>)</p>
<p><em>By Comrade Kale, A. S. Kinser &amp;  Marcus Winter</em></p>
<p><strong>Seven Years of War</strong></p>
<p>The 20th of March 2010  marks the seventh anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq. And after  seven years, over 100,000 dead Iraqi citizens, 700+ billion dollars and  almost 5000 US soldier deaths later, what does the American Empire have  to show for its expense? Not much. Iraq, even still is a county ruined  and torn apart by war. Power in Baghdad is often only on one or two  hours per day, crime and ethnic violence are still rampant, and much  worse. That country, so rich in oil, is now in debt—a large debt too.  The oil fields themselves have been mainly privatized and although they  are pumping oil, the efforts of the American exploiter corporations in  Iraq are hampered by the heroic efforts of the Iraqi Resistance.</p>
<p>In these past seven years it has been  remarkable how much the original reasons behind the invasion have been  widely proven to be a lie. By now, everyone knows that the so-called  Global War on Terror has nothing to do with terrorism, the Taliban,  democracy or womens’ rights in the Middle East. It is also common  knowledge that Iraq held no responsibility for attacks against the US,  and that the old WMD claims of Saddam’s government possessing biological  and nuclear weapons was a lie.</p>
<p>Let’s discuss the fact that the US  government stated it was “freeing” a subjugated people. We need not look  far to disprove that. Despite claims of “fighting radical Islam,”  Saddam’s Ba’ath Party was a secular party throughout its history. The US  supports the Saudi Arabian monarchy financially, politically and  militarily. The United States and the Bush Administration did not enter  the war because it was liberating anyone. Iraq was also not filled with  “terrorists” until a military coalition invaded it.</p>
<p><strong>Operation Iraqi “Freedom”</strong></p>
<p>The former Administration of George W.  Bush seized the opportunity after the events of 9/11 to launch an  occupation against two nations and interfere in several more. The US  government assembled a military coalition to secure the economically and  strategically crucial Persian Gulf. Iraq’s military and civilian  infrastructures have been mostly obliterated by sustained military  bombardment and on-the-ground invasion. Predictably, this involved  overthrowing Middle Eastern regimes that interfered with US corporate  interests in exploiting vast oil fields in Central Asia. This has ended  in the installation of a “democratic” government hand-picked by US  forces, which of course support the ongoing military presence.</p>
<p><strong>Some Statistics</strong></p>
<p>It’s been seven years since the United  States launched its occupation into Iraq, and that means it is time for  us to review the numbers. First, take a note. At the time we began  writing this article an estimated $712,156,525,787 had been spent on the  war.</p>
<p>Number of Coalition Forces who have Died  in Iraq: 4,693</p>
<p>4,375 US Military, 179 British Military,  139 Other Country Coalition Forces</p>
<p>Number of Civilians Dead (Iraqi and  Other): 151,000</p>
<p>Number of Iraqi Security Forces: 8,745</p>
<p>Number of Insurgent Deaths: 20,987</p>
<p>Number of Private Military Contractor  Deaths: 1,186</p>
<p>Number of Journalists: 170</p>
<p>218,397</p>
<p>Source: <a href="http://www.icasualties.org/Iraq/index.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.icasualties.org/Iraq/index.aspx</a></p>
<p>[Due to chaos and civil war, actual  totals for Iraqi deaths are most likely much higher than the numbers  recorded on this site. As well, the United Nations Human Rights Council  as well as the UN can be seen as a group led by the US and therefore  cannot be trusted in it's listing of Human Rights Violations. We post  these numbers as merely one possible source. Some have listed as high as  over 1,000,000 dead.]</p>
<p>That number is 186,781 dead and 31,616  wounded. This is the human cost of a war propagated by the United States  government not for the liberation of a people, but for imperialism and  the dawn of a New Age of American Colonialism. By the time we finished  writing this article an estimated $712,164,983,347 had been spent. That  is $8,457,560 dollars worth of writing.</p>
<p><strong>Announcement</strong></p>
<p>With seven years, 186,781 dead and 31,616  wounded under its belt, need this war, now turned into an out-and-out  occupation, continue? It will unless the American people stand up and  put a stop to imperialist war once and for all.</p>
<p>In light of all that has been said here  and must continue to be said, the American Party of Labor must reiterate  the call it began making a year ago during the 6<sup>th</sup> anniversary of this tragedy:</p>
<p><strong>Troops Out of Iraq! Troops Out of  Everywhere! </strong></p>

Imperialism is a two edged sword, and I see no reason to make a moral distinction between American imperialism and Islamic imperialism.  I salute the authorities for properly dealing with the matter.</p>
<blockquote><p>Lars Vilks had a $100,000 bounty put on his head after he drew the Muhammad cartoon for local newspaper Nerikes Allehanda. Photo: Harry Soremski/AFP/Getty</p>
<p>Irish police today arrested seven suspects over an alleged plot to kill a Swedish artist who drew the Prophet Muhammad with the body of a dog.</p>
<p>The target of the alleged assassination was Lars Vilks, who had a $100,000 (£67,000) bounty put on his head by al-Qaida in 2007, with a 50% bonus if Vilks was &#8220;slaughtered like a lamb&#8221; by having his throat cut. Another $50,000 was said to have been put on the life of Ulf Johansson, editor-in-chief of Nerikes Allehanda, the local newspaper that printed the cartoon.</p>
<p>The four men and three women, who were detained at about 10am this morning, are in their mid-20s to late-40s and are being held at stations in Waterford, Tramore, Dungarvan and Thomastown. Garda sources have confirmed that some of those arrested hold Irish citizenship and a number are from the Middle East. Some of those questioned have been confirmed as converts to Islam.</p>
<p>The suspects are being held under Ireland&#8217;s Criminal Justice Act 2007. Under Irish law they can be held in custody for up to seven days.</p>
<p>Ireland&#8217;s anti-terrorist special detective unit was involved in the operation. A spokesman for the force said: &#8220;Throughout the investigation Garda Síochána has been working closely with law enforcement agencies in the United States and in a number of European countries.&#8221; The CIA and the FBI were involved in the investigation.</p>
<p>Vilks&#8217; cartoon caused outrage because dogs are considered unclean by conservative Muslims, and Islamic law generally opposes any depiction of the prophet for fear it could lead to idolatry.</p>
<p>The controversy over cartoons depicting Muhammad began in 2005, when the Danish daily Jyllands-Posten printed 12 caricatures of the prophet after a children&#8217;s author said he could not find an illustrator for his book on the life of Muhammad.</p>
<p>The drawings sparked violent protests across the Muslim world, culminating with the burning of the Danish embassy in Damascus and its consulate in Beirut in February 2006.</p></blockquote>

It appears the current material conditions in Iraq and Afghanistan are very unpopular, as even with the recession and horrible job market, &#8220;not enough&#8221; people want to join the military to fight a strategically flawed war in Afghanistan and an ideologically flawed war in Iraq.  So the army is now hiring &#8220;for profit&#8221; contractors to &#8220;fill the void,&#8221; thus validating claims of a military industrial complex.  We continue to be weary of veterans who brag about their service while simultaneously pretending they are political dissidents.</p>
<blockquote><p>WASHINGTON &#8212; The Army&#8217;s ability to train its forces is &#8220;increasingly at risk&#8221; because of the nation&#8217;s protracted commitments to Iraq and Afghanistan, the general in charge of training has told the Army&#8217;s chief of staff.</p>
<p>In a Feb. 16 memo to Gen. George W. Casey, Gen. Martin Dempsey, the commander of the Army Training and Doctrine Command, says that the Army has lost thousands of uniformed trainers because of troop demands in Iraq and Afghanistan, has had to put junior officers in charge of some key training functions and has delayed initial instruction for nearly 500 pilots because it doesn&#8217;t have enough trainers.</p>
<p>Only 30 percent of the instructors at Army training schools are in the military, Dempsey says, <strong>with the Army increasingly dependent on outside contractors.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;We are behind in integrating lessons learned, developing training and updating doctrine,&#8221; Dempsey wrote in the memo, a copy of which McClatchy obtained. &#8220;We are undermanned in our efforts to design the future Army.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dempsey&#8217;s warning occurs as the Obama administration presses ahead with plans to increase the number of troops in Afghanistan by 30,000 and has committed a growing number of military trainers to doubling the size of the Afghan security forces. Since Dempsey took command of TRADOC in December 2008, the command has sent 889 troops, contractors and civilians to Iraq and 675 to Afghanistan.</p>
<p>Casey, who&#8217;s frequently warned that the long-term commitments in Iraq and Afghanistan have strained the Army, said in an interview this week that Dempsey&#8217;s memo didn&#8217;t surprise him.</p>
<p>He said, however, that the military didn&#8217;t have enough soldiers to commit more troops to training, and that relief would come from two developments: the continued withdrawal from Iraq and the planned expansion of the Army by 65,000 soldiers by the end of 2011.</p>
<p>Dempsey&#8217;s memo &#8220;is his way of getting it on my radar,&#8221; Casey said.</p>
<p>Titled &#8220;Erosion of TRADOC&#8217;s Core Competencies and Functions,&#8221; the memo contains a litany of how keeping a large troop presence in two war zones while committing to train foreign troops has hurt the military&#8217;s training efforts.</p>
<p>There are 96,000 U.S. troops in Iraq and 78,000 in Afghanistan.</p>
<p>Dempsey wrote that since September 2001, the number of soldiers assigned to training and other planning responsibilities has declined by 7,300, while the number of civilian employees has declined by 4,500. To fill the gap, Dempsey says, <strong>his command has hired 9,000 outside contractors</strong>.</p>
<p>He complains that the result is a &#8220;de-greening&#8221; of training, meaning less reliance on Army personnel. For example, he wrote, outside contractors are teaching 68 percent of the courses at the Army&#8217;s Intelligence School.</p>
<p>Dempsey says the manpower shortage has affected ROTC training programs, particularly at universities that provide large numbers of junior officers to the Army. <strong>He says that the officer-to-student ratios at five of the nation&#8217;s six largest ROTC programs, including The Citadel in South Carolina and Texas A&amp;M University, now exceed 1 to 45 and that in some cases the ratio is 1 to 76</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>A shortage of captains and majors with combat experience is particularly troubling</strong>, he says.</p>
<p>&#8220;Their experience level is of extreme importance to our command because it gives them the field-tested knowledge and credibility to teach, coach and mentor the officers following behind them,&#8221; Dempsey wrote.</p>
<p>He wrote that 18 first lieutenants were filling company command positions in basic combat training units &#8212; positions usually reserved for higher-ranking officers &#8212; and that the command has had to turn to noncommissioned officers in some of those units to fill operations positions usually reserved for commissioned officers.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the <a href="http://www.korea-dpr.com/ocn/">Korean Friendship Association</a></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="Kim Jong Il" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2QJSeWQoKyA/SbV3qPd5X3I/AAAAAAAAGMQ/mG5lmgGLfDs/s400/kimjongil_alt.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="350" /></p>
<p>There are many noted mountains in the world. There are mountains boasting about height and kaleidoscopic view. However, the south Korean people are proud of Mt. Baekdu.</p>
<p>It attracts the eye of the public not only mystery of the mountain, indomitable spirit, appearance, thick forest, diversified natural phenomenon, unfathomable Lake Chon, but because leader <strong>Kim Jong Il </strong>was born there and leads the Korean nation to prosperity.</p>
<p>Mt. Baekdu is a noted one well known to the world people. It is famous not because of only its height and lake on its summit.</p>
<p>Mt. Baekdu is a time-honored one where <strong>Kim Jong Il </strong>was born. He was born in the mountain when the anti-Japanese armed struggle was waged and cultivated matchless courage and extraordinary ambition. Therefore, the Mt. Baekdu shows its appearance throughout the world and the august name of the leader shines along with the mountain. The Korean people call Mt. Baekdu the native place of their heart.</p>
<p>The Bright Star of Mt. Baekdu the Korean people admired in the past is towering high as the sun leading the struggle for national reunification and the way for humankind. Mt. Baekdu that produced the Bright Star is the native home of the Korean nation.</p>
<p>The sun of Mt. Baekdu is leader <strong>Kim Jong Il</strong>.</p>
<p>Every peaks of Mt. Baekdu are fraught with his ideal and high aims and valleys are filled with his courage and wisdom. Mt. Baekdu is the mountain of leader <strong>Kim Jong Il</strong>.</p>
<p>Having <strong>Kim Jong Il</strong>, a great man born of Heaven, in high esteem, the Korean people and humankind are blessed with leaders century after century. He is the sun, as he possessed at the high level with light, heat and attraction, attributes of the sun.</p>
<p>The Korean people are confident about a reunified and prosperous nation as long as they are led by him.</p>
<p>It is the greatest fortune for the Korean people to have <strong>Kim Jong Il </strong>as the sun of the nation, who frustrates the challenges of the imperialist allied forces to demonstrate national dignity throughout the world with his matchless pluck and far-sightedness.</p>
<p>Mt. Baekdu is the sacred place of the nation that the Korean nation boasts to the world. From time immemorial, a great man is born in a famous place.</p>
<p><strong>Kim Jong Il</strong>, who was born in Mt. Baekdu, is a great man produced by the Heaven.</p>
<p>He started his life in Mt. Baekdu, listening gunshot as a lullaby and cultivated courage and wisdom of a brilliant commander under generals of Mt. Baekdu. He overcame unprecedented difficulties in grave period with pluck of Mt. Baekdu.</p>
<p>It is his spirit and pluck that north Korea defends the national dignity and makes efforts to build a thriving nation, frustrating the vicious moves and military threat of the allied forces of imperialist.</p>
<p>As it is hard to expect the dawn without the sun, the realization of reunification encouraging the nation with hope and confidence is inconceivable without an outstanding leader of the nation.</p>
<p>The dawn of reunification and national prosperity will break at Mt. Baekdu.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&#038;sl=ar&#038;tl=en&#038;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ssnp.info%2Findex.php%3Farticle%3D51036"><u>The Translated Link from Arabic</u></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Agencies &#8211; Media sources said that former Prime Minister Tony Blair lied to the investigation committee on the Iraq war when he claimed that attention to topple former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein began after the attacks atheist ten of September.  And removed the newspaper &#8220;The Independent&#8221; British unveiling of the document did not receive the Commission of Inquiry into the Iraq war, confirms that the government of Tony Blair made secret plans to drum up support for the establishment of an internal coup against Saddam Hussein two years before the invasion of Iraq. The newspaper &#8220;The Independent&#8221; The British Foreign Office officials drafted a plan called &#8220;contract with the people,&#8221; suggested to the dissidents in Iraq that toppling Saddam would receive support from Britain, also pledged to provide aid and debt cancellation of oil contracts and the provision of commercial transactions as soon as the ouster  The newspaper &#8220;has been the completion of the plan, titled&#8221; Confidential &#8211; for the eyes of the British and U.S. &#8220;in the June 11, 2001, and approved by the cabinet of ministers.&#8221; The document said Britain would &#8220;want to deal with Iraq that respects the rights of its people and live in peace with its neighbors and abide by international law and the right of the Iraqi people to live in a society based on rule of law, free from repression, torture and arbitrary arrest, and that respects human rights, freedom and prosperity the economy.   The document said &#8220;those who wish to be published a call for change in Iraq deserve our support. We look forward to the day when Iraq who is due to join the international community, will receive a new system to reschedule debt and aid from the World Bank and International Monetary Fund aid package and trade of the European Union.&#8221; Mr Blair said during his testimony before the commission last week that serious attention to the overthrow of Saddam breed only after ten atheist attacks of September, which changed from &#8220;a risk&#8221;. For his part, &#8220;said Ed Duffy, spokesman for the Liberal Democrats in foreign affairs, said the document questioned the validity of the certificate made by Blair should have been published before hearing his testimony on Friday. &#8220;The plan to support the Iraqis who seek to topple Saddam may be less harmful, and that was without a doubt the most legitimate what happened. However, it appears that Blair had always intended to change the system since the early and before the atheist of September.&#8221; &#8220;It seems, however, that veil of secrecy was lifted from the documents is crucial, which stop an obstacle to question Blair and other people.&#8221;  In addition, newspaper &#8220;The Guardian&#8221; The Commission of Inquiry Celkot Blair will call again to make further submissions before it.  She said Blair would be questioned in public and in secret after the committee expressed concern that his testimony on the legality of the invasion are contrary to those made by the former British Attorney General Lord Goldsmith.</p></blockquote>
<p>This article focuses on Blair, but it is clear that Bush was trying to downplay the Afghanistan war, and switch to Iraq, even though a stronger case can be made against Afghanistan than against Iraq.  Iraq is secular and never attacked USA.  It was back stabbed.  Afghanistan is theocratic and could be accused of Al-Qaeda collaboration.  Yet Bush wanted to get the focus off of Afghanistan and onto Iraq.</p>
<p>The motives are ulterior!  Profit and gain!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.workers.org/2010/world/socialist_korea_0121/">Workers World online</a></p>
<p>By Deirdre Griswold</p>
<p>This year’s economic plans in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea will put greater emphasis on the development of light industry and agriculture, promising a surge in the living standards of the people.</p>
<p><!--end paragraph--> <!--begin paragraph-->An outline of these plans was contained in a joint New Year’s editorial that appeared in the DPRK’s three leading newspapers: one representing the party, one the youth and one the army.</p>
<p><!--end paragraph--> <!--begin paragraph-->For almost a decade, at great sacrifice, the DPRK has had to allocate a large amount of its resources to building up its means of defense. This emphasis took on special urgency when, in January 2002, former U.S. President George W. Bush arbitrarily added the DPRK to the propaganda invention he called the “axis of evil.” Such a pronouncement by the commander-in-chief of the world’s largest military power could only be interpreted as a threat to attack Korea.</p>
<p><!--end paragraph--> <!--begin paragraph-->At the time, the Bush administration had already embarked on a war in Afghanistan and was threatening to invade Iraq, another country on Bush’s “axis.” Hundreds of billions of dollars were being added to the budget for the Pentagon and other agencies of U.S. aggression and intervention around the world.</p>
<p><!--end paragraph--> <!--begin paragraph-->The DPRK had to take the threat seriously.</p>
<p><!--end paragraph--> <!--begin paragraph-->From 1950-53, hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops had invaded Korea and fought a war there against the People’s Liberation Army of the DPRK. The Korean soldiers were bolstered by a million Chinese volunteers, who came across their common border to fight alongside their Korean comrades. Both the Koreans and the Chinese were defending revolutions that had begun in their countries decades earlier, when the masses of people suffered under Japanese troops and puppet regimes. Sweeping to victory when World War II ended in Japan’s defeat, the Korean revolutionaries soon had to fight a second war for national liberation and social justice — this time against U.S. imperialism.</p>
<p><!--end paragraph--> <!--begin paragraph-->Virtually no family in Korea was left untouched by that war. Millions of civilians and soldiers were killed. At the end, the U.S. continued to occupy the south militarily — and still does. This division of Korea and the constant pressure on the north have been a drag on its economy ever since.</p>
<p><!--end paragraph--> <!--begin paragraph-->Despite all this, industrialization in the DPRK began almost immediately after the armistice in 1953, and its economy soon outstripped the U.S.-occupied south. Living conditions for the people rose quickly. Ever since, the socialist system of the DPRK has been able to provide quality free, universal medical care and education to its people.</p>
<p><!--end paragraph--> <!--begin paragraph-->However, much of this progress was cut short in the 1990s. Not long after the fall of the Soviet Union, which had been an important ally and trading partner of the DPRK, the legendary leader of the Korean Revolution, Kim Il Sung, died. The country then experienced several years of the worst weather of the century, when floods ruined much of its agricultural land and swept away bridges, hydroelectric dams and other important infrastructure.</p>
<p><!--end paragraph--> <!--begin paragraph-->Add in the increased threats from the U.S., including economic sanctions that still continue, and it is clear that this has been a very difficult period for the Korean people, but one in which their resolve to defend their socialist state has never wavered.</p>
<p><!--end paragraph--> <!--begin paragraph-->In recent years, the DPRK has announced its ability to defend itself not only with a superbly trained and motivated army but with nuclear weapons. It has staged underground nuclear tests and launched several missiles that could send a warhead thousands of miles if Korea were attacked. Last year, Pyongyang announced it had put a communications satellite in space, launched by its newly developed Kwangmyongsong-2 missile.</p>
<p><!--end paragraph--> <!--begin paragraph-->Underlying these military achievements is the DPRK’s progress in rebuilding its scientific-technological base on a higher foundation. The joint statement points to its success last year in perfecting new steel-making techniques at the Songjin Steel Complex and in achieving “cutting-edge” computer-guided machinery.</p>
<p><!--end paragraph--> <!--begin paragraph-->The DPRK registered growth in its economy last year, even as the economy of the south was contracting because of the world capitalist crisis. The joint New Year’s statement credits the unity of the people with the Workers Party of Korea and its leader Kim Jong Il for having turned the situation around so dramatically.</p>
<p><!--end paragraph--> <!--begin paragraph-->Now the DPRK is poised to take a leap forward in providing more and better consumer goods and services.</p>
<p><!--end paragraph--> <!--begin paragraph-->At the same time, it is calling for the U.S. to drop the sanctions and join it in signing a peace treaty ending the Korean War. Only an armistice exists — which Washington uses as the basis for keeping some 30,000 U.S. troops in southern Korea to this day. Pyongyang is also calling for Washington to join it in hammering out an agreement to create a nuclear-free Korean peninsula — a reminder that the DPRK was under the shadow of U.S. atomic weapons for more than half a century before it attained a nuclear deterrent of its own.</p>
<p><!--end paragraph--> <!--begin paragraph--><em>Griswold has visited both the DPRK and south Korea a number of times.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Revolutionaries are dreamers and must always remain dreamers or they become borderline suicidal, uncontrollably angry and can&#8217;t even function marginally in the world. Having had the secular religious experience in our hearts, we can never possibly go back, because the People are our god and the Revolution is our path to the heavenly prospect of national, proletarian, and racial liberation. We must keep the deep feelings of youth in our hearts, but also become wise with age and experience. Always knowing that we are ready to find martyrdom at the hands of the Zionist Occupied Government, we must become scientific and materialist dreamers, not idealist or Utopian dreamers, for we live in an evolutionary and dialectical world.</p>
<p>Imagine a racial communist super-State comprising all of Europe and Russia and stretching across the reclaimed Siberian Land Bridge Project into White North America and includes Australia, New Zealand, Chile and Argentina in its project. Bloodline shall supersede  geographical boundaries. This shall be the greatest civilizationational accomplishment in the entire history of the world. We are talking about the total victory of White Power over the conspiracy for our genocide, more than just racialism, but true socialism, and the rebirth of the neighborhood and family again.</p>
<p>Only within the racial communist super-state within a vast regionalist and ethno-nationalist framework and an organic ethnic local character can our people be saved and find their truly greatest era. Nationalism will only die  when it is outmoded by racialism, and even then nationalism is an intricate part of our framework, not rootless cosmopolitanism. Our project to Pan-Africanism, Pan-Arabism, the Bolivarian project, is a brother in a common trench, but it goes deeper than theirs and reflects our true potential and the vanguard role which Darwinism demands of our people who constitute the biological aristocracy of world history.</p>
<p>For now we must address the miserable state of existence our people wallow in. We must painfully internalize the pain of knowing that as things stand now the White race may not even exist in years to come. We must feel the troubles and the brokenness of the middle aged crisis and the nihilistic teenager, the single mother and the white man down the street who just lost his job.</p>
<p>More than that we need to be beacons of light and hope. My own European-American nation already knows they are fucked, double fucked and then kicked in the head just for fun. They may not have some deeply advanced political analysis of how this is happening, but we don&#8217;t need to be doomsday prophesiers fullfilling a self-prophesying picture of defeat. We already have enough defeat. We need VISIONARIES.</p>
<p>The fact is the White race is NOT going to be exterminated and neither are we going to wind up being permantly ruined financially either, no matter how damn miserable things get. We haven&#8217;t survived since at least the Ice Ages and built some of the greatest civilizations the world has ever known just to go the way of the dodobird, and it isn&#8217;t going to happen as a result of Zionism, liberalism, finance capital or &#8220;globalization&#8221;, a vulgar euphenism for imperialism, today either.</p>
<p>In the end our people will fight!</p>
<p>Getting away from the areas closest to Hollyweird and Jew York and into the heartland, our masses own guns more than any other citizenry in the world per capita except north Korea. ZOG isn&#8217;t going to take our guns away, because the gun was brought into our psychology as small children learning the first and second amendment in school as if memorizing and idealizing bible versus. Our people still have some level of strong family life even though everything from meth to poverty to a lack of committment from men for our women and children is really blowing it for us big time. Unlike Jews, our people work for their money. They still know that it is important to have a self-reliant economy, community and healthy Teutonic work ethic and Celtic sense of identity. Even Lenin in his day admired our people&#8217;s powerful work ethic. Not only are we brilliant and creative, but we have the drive, muscle and determination to do something truly fanatastic. Things seem so aweful for us because we really are such a gifted and incredible people and anything but the best, especially the wallowing backwardsness of the era, is completely intolerable for our spirit. Drink can&#8217;t take that feeling away nor drugs nor finding a healthy partner who loves us to fill such void. The void comes from the need to freely express our intrensic nature for creative development, and hyper-alienation of the hour can only be eliminated with the new connect, the renassiance.</p>
<p>The redneck hates the intellectuals who betrayed him and hates his own organic intellectualism. Actually, this is true of the vast majority of just regular good ole&#8217; all-American working people. Our people now think they are stupid, glorify at times the lowest common denominator of mass culture and have little hope in their hearts. If they had the hope they would be as brave as any Palestinian human bomb. You can see it in their eyes. You feel it when you go on a fishing trip or watch people drink coffee in the breakroom at work. You here it in the middle of the third quarter of a boring football game when the score is 24-7 and talk turns back to reality and not the images of distraction on the television screen. Maybe we can get some sort of healing going between nerds and rednecks, or all sorts of sub-cultural &#8220;groups&#8221; whose identity will eventually become meaningless in the new society anyways since we are the same people.</p>
<p>Our people aren&#8217;t going to become Nazis and they aren&#8217;t going to build the Bolshevik Revolution either. Our people are going to reclaim the neighborhood, and we need the trust of those who don&#8217;t trust fancy talk and only would be willing to work with those they learn to admire over a long period of time, leaders who either are organic or at least go out of their way to be as organic as possible to our conditions today. Our Lenin is going to be wearing a flannel shirt and blue jeans with a baseball cap. Maybe he worked at Dairy Queen when he was 16 and use to have a nice construction job making $20 an hour until that fell apart, or she is going to have concerns about the future of her children and sees beyond the phoney patriotism for the real patriotism of a mother for her cubs, watches her man become less of a man in his heart because he can&#8217;t provide the level of economic comfort he once did or thinks the family deserves.</p>
<p>We absolutely need violent extremism, because ZOG isn&#8217;t coming down without weapons and ammunition, but it has to be at the heart and soul of our people. It needs to be able to read the direction our people are going in without becoming too depressed when our people still cling to all sorts of self-defeating ideas. Violent extremism needs to have a dialectical compass that will do the best it can to find what is useful in our people, something that provides a dynamism and gets people to feel they aren&#8217;t part of some political group, but a LIBERATION STRUGGLE.</p>
<p>We need the equivelant of &#8220;Allahu Akbar!&#8221; to racial national materialism, a scientific battle cry, but one with deep religious emotion.</p>
<p>Nothing starts automatically. Revolutions don&#8217;t come about because of spontaneous collapse of &#8220;the system&#8221; but because they are built and mature so that when conditions are ripe they can mature.</p>
<p>2010 has come, let&#8217;s each vow to take concrete steps towards building things on the ground, and yes we need the regular &#8220;activists&#8221; too, but let&#8217;s push for getting the bulwark of our people who aren&#8217;t in any sort of group at all and are instinctively distrustful of them. To do that we must reject politics as usual and push for an uncompromising battle cry of liberation without being sectarian and splitting hairs over stupid ass secondary differances, many of which the people may eventually agree with us on through persuasion, anyways.</p>
<p>Let us each brainstorm in the coming weeks ideas for what we each are going to do, even if it is just some meetings and get togethers as a first start, to actually build something on the ground. Ask yourself how you are going to get those pissed off people with radical ideas that just float back into mainstream society into our National Front. We have to build things, even small ones, because it provides the mutual support against alienation at the very least, and has unlimited upwards potential beyond just that.</p>
<p>Long live the White race!</p>
<p>Long live the communist revolution!</p>
<p>Let us vow to die in the trenches of combat before ever even considering the thought of surrendering our European-American Nation!</p>

<p><a href="http://www.kcna.co.jp/index-e.htm">From the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA)</a></p>
<p>Pyongyang, January 1 (KCNA) &#8212; Rodong Sinmun, Josoninmingun and Chongnyonjonwi Friday published a joint editorial titled &#8220;Bring about a radical turn in the people&#8217;s standard of living by accelerating the development of light industry and agriculture once again this year that marks the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Workers&#8217; Party of Korea&#8221; on the occasion of the New Year.</p>
<p>The following is the excerpt from it:</p>
<p>Today our service personnel and people greet the New Year Juche 99 (2010) with the pride of being victors, who wrote a new history of great revolutionary upsurge.</p>
<p>A heyday unprecedented in the history of the nation lies ahead of them, who are courageously rushing towards the world by tapping the inexhaustible potentials of Songun Korea.</p>
<p>Kim Jong Il is leading the campaign for the building of a great, prosperous and powerful nation to a brilliant victory as he steers the efforts to effect a great revolutionary upsurge on the strength of single-minded unity.</p>
<p>Now all the service personnel of the Korean People&#8217;s Army and all the people are offering their heartfelt thanks and the greatest glory to him who is shaping the brilliant future of the country and the revolution with unflagging energy and untiring leadership, and are filled with a firm determination to support the Party&#8217;s cause to the last with intense loyalty and heroic feats.</p>
<p>Last year Juche 98 (2009) was a year of dramatic change, when a phenomenal age of realizing all the ideals of the people has come.</p>
<p>Kim Jong Il worked out a grand plan for making a decisive turn in the Korean revolution and the building of a thriving nation by effecting a new revolutionary upsurge and wisely led the efforts of the service personnel and people.</p>
<p>After kindling the torch of a great upsurge in Kangson, home to the Chollima movement, he proposed launching the 150-day and 100-day campaigns successively, and took revolutionary measures to bring them to a victorious conclusion. His outstanding leadership ability was the source of impetus for the unprecedentedly great innovations and leap.</p>
<p>The matchless fighting spirit of the leader, who continued the forced march of high intensity to vibrant hard-fought fields for an upsurge throughout the year, burning his heart with noble love of his country and fellow people, gave free rein to the mental strength of all the service personnel and people and worked world-startling miracles across the country.</p>
<p>Last year&#8217;s struggle etched in their hearts the truth that his decision is precisely practice and they will always emerge victorious when they follow him.</p>
<p>Last year witnessed one remarkable event of knocking on the gate to a thriving nation after another.</p>
<p>The successful launch of man-made satellite Kwangmyongsong-2 and the successful second underground nuclear test by our own efforts and technology were a landmark event signaling the first victory in the building of a thriving nation.</p>
<p>The perfection of the Juche-based steel-making system in the Songjin Steel Complex and the attainment of the cutting edge of the CNC technology constitute a great victory of the great Juche idea and an auspicious event for the whole country and all the people that demonstrated our inexhaustible economic and technological potentials.</p>
<p>The firework displays on the Day of the Sun&#8211;birthday of President Kim Il Sung&#8211;, May Day and the WPK anniversary in October were a striking manifestation of the lofty ideals and ambition of the Korean people who are building a thriving nation and the rosy future of Songun Korea that is advancing under the leadership of the great Party.</p>
<p>The economy of the country entered the stage of full-scale upturn as all the people staged a life-and-death struggle under the leadership of the Party.</p>
<p>The 150-day and 100-day campaigns were an unforgettable struggle that wrote the most brilliant chapter in the history of our great upsurge.</p>
<p>The whole course of the heroic campaigns conducted by all the people, including the workers, clearly showed what kinds of miracles would be performed and what kinds of changes would be effected when we give free rein to the might of the harmonious whole of our leader, our Party and our people, in which the Party trusts the people and the people defend the Party and the leader at the risk of their lives.</p>
<p>Production sharply increased in the sectors of basic industries, vanguards of the national economy, and the industry as a whole achieved revitalization.</p>
<p>Structures of lasting value in the Songun era, like the Nyongwon Power Station, the Wonsan Youth Power Station, Waterway on the Miru Plain and Mansudae Street, were built across the country.</p>
<p>The gasification project in the Namhung Youth Chemical Complex was completed, and dynamic efforts were made to upgrade major factories and other enterprises.</p>
<p>Last year remarkable achievements were brought about in agricultural production and rural construction, many cooperative farms transformed into ideal villages appropriate to a prosperous country and the production foundations and potentials of the light-industry sectors, including the textile and food-processing industries, strengthened markedly.</p>
<p>Remarkable successes were achieved in the development of socialist culture.</p>
<p>In the heat of the revolution in literature and the arts in the Songun era conducted under the energetic guidance of Kim Jong Il, masterpieces were produced and re-presented one after another in the fields of the cinema, opera, drama and music.</p>
<p>Examples of mass-based culture and the arts in the era of a great upsurge were set to inspire the whole country with revolutionary enthusiasm and militant spirit.</p>
<p>Kim Il Sung University, Wonsan University of Agriculture and other institutions of learning were refurnished splendidly, and sportspersons registered good results bringing great pleasure to the people.</p>
<p>The victorious great upsurge of last year confirms that the DPRK is developing in leaps and bounds, and the day when the successful building of a thriving nation will be proclaimed is just approaching.</p>
<p>New Year Juche 99 (2010) is a year of general offensive, when all-Party and nationwide efforts should be concentrated on improving the people&#8217;s standard of living on the basis of the laudable victory and achievements of the great revolutionary upsurge.</p>
<p>Kim Jong Il said:</p>
<p>&#8220;Our building of the country into an economic giant is aimed, to all intents and purposes, at radically improving the people&#8217;s standard of living. When the people&#8217;s living standards are decisively improved, hooray for socialism and singing of Arirang of prosperity can ring out louder across the country and the gate to a prosperous nation be opened.&#8221;</p>
<p>This year marks the 65th anniversaries of the founding of the glorious Workers&#8217; Party of Korea and the country&#8217;s liberation.</p>
<p>The anniversary of the founding of the WPK will be an important occasion for demonstrating the mounting national spirit and mettle of the Korean army and people, who are adding brilliance to the undying exploits performed by President Kim Il Sung in building the Party and carrying out the revolutionary cause of Juche and the human cause of independence, and are speeding up the building of a thriving socialist nation on the strength of the single-minded unity around the leadership of the revolution.</p>
<p>We should celebrate the anniversary as a great revolutionary event to be written down in the history of Kim Il Sung&#8217;s nation by giving the fullest play to our ardent loyalty to the Party, great guide, that has opened up a bright future for the country and people.</p>
<p>The great upsurge we are bringing about as we make unheard-of creation and leap forward under the leadership of the Party has entered a new phase.</p>
<p>The might of the country&#8217;s economy, including the heavy industry, was strengthened in the flames of the gigantic great upsurge, setting up a springboard for the country, already a politico-ideological and military power, to justifiably reach the status of an economic giant.</p>
<p>Now, based on the brilliant achievements of the great revolutionary upsurge, the Party is unfolding unprecedentedly grand plans and operations to bring about a decisive turn in the people&#8217;s standard of living.</p>
<p>It is the firm determination and will of the Party to enable the people, who have braved severe hardships together with the Party, to enjoy the blessing of socialism to their hearts&#8217; content by getting them relish the substantial fruits of the present great upsurge and realize without fail the noble intention and desire of President Kim Il Sung who devoted his heart and soul to the people all his life.</p>
<p>True to the intention of the Party, which regards it as the supreme principle in its activities to steadily improve the people&#8217;s standard of living and spares nothing for them, we should channel all our efforts to improving the people&#8217;s standard of living.</p>
<p>To launch a sweeping campaign to bring about a drastic turn in improving the people&#8217;s standard of living in the flames of the great revolutionary upsurge&#8211;this is the general orientation of this year&#8217;s efforts.</p>
<p>We should conduct an all-Party and nationwide drive for improving the people&#8217;s standard of living to ensure that the achievements of the great upsurge are followed by greater ones and this year becomes a prosperous year filled with the people&#8217;s happiness.</p>
<p>&#8220;Bring about a radical turn in the people&#8217;s standard of living by accelerating the development of light industry and agriculture once again this year that marks the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Workers&#8217; Party of Korea!&#8221; is a slogan we should uphold.</p>
<p>Light industry and agriculture are the major fronts in the efforts for improving the people&#8217;s standard of living.</p>
<p>Great are the foundations of light industry and agriculture, which our Party has laid out with an eye on today against all odds.</p>
<p>An all-Party, nationwide effort should be directed to mass-producing consumer goods.</p>
<p>The light-industry sector should carry forward the upgrading of its factories and enterprises on a high level, and strive to improve the quality of the consumer goods.</p>
<p>Local-industry factories should be operated at full capacity, and units, as many as possible, should launch a campaign to turn out more daily necessities favoured by the public.</p>
<p>The agricultural sector should sharply increase the grain production by thoroughly applying the Party&#8217;s policy of agricultural revolution, like improving the seeds, doing double cropping and improving potato and soya bean farming.</p>
<p>It should strictly observe the requirements of the Juche farming method and introduce organic and other new farming methods and technologies.</p>
<p>We should ensure that the updated stockbreeding, fish farming and fruit production bases that have established a Juche-oriented breeding system and embodied the principle of profitability demonstrate their great effect in reality.</p>
<p>We should radically increase the state investment in the fields related to the people&#8217;s living, and all the sectors and units should supply fully and in time the raw and other materials needed for the production of light-industry goods.</p>
<p>We should gain access to more foreign markets, and undertake foreign trade in a brisk way to contribute to economic construction and the improvement of the people&#8217;s standard of living.</p>
<p>The four vanguard sectors are the engine of the national economy and a key to solving the problem of the people&#8217;s living.</p>
<p>In December last year, Kim Jong Il kindled the flame for the new year&#8217;s drive while inspecting the Kim Chaek Iron and Steel Complex and placed the workers of the Songjin Steel Complex, who had perfected the Juche-based steel-making system, in the van of the great revolutionary upsurge in the Songun era.</p>
<p>The vanguard sectors, with a firm view that the development of light industry and agriculture depends on that of heavy industry, should push ahead with today&#8217;s general offensive for improving the people&#8217;s standard of living by means of increased production.</p>
<p>Steel production leads to the production of grain and machinery.</p>
<p>The sector of metal industry should increase the capacity of Juche iron production that relies on the domestic raw materials and fuel and scale without fail the targets of pig iron, steel and rolled steel production set by the Party.</p>
<p>The sector of electric power industry should channel effort to run thermal power stations at full capacity and push ahead with the construction of large-scale hydroelectric power stations, including the Huichon Power Station.</p>
<p>The sector of coal industry should produce coal without condition for the thermal power stations, chemical factories and other important units, and step up modernization projects to steadily enhance its production capacities.</p>
<p>The sector of rail transport should set an order and discipline as strict as in the army, produce new-type locomotives and freight cars in a larger number and make railway service modernized and railways heavy-duty.</p>
<p>The sector of machine-building industry should extend the scope of introduction of the CNC technology on a high standard as required by the IT age, and effect a revolution in the production of tools, so as to produce high-performance, state-of-the-art machinery in a larger number.</p>
<p>We should implement the people-oriented policies of the Party and the state to enable all the people to substantially enjoy the benefits of socialism.</p>
<p>The true nature of our socialism lies in putting the people&#8217;s well-being above anything else and providing them with all the benefits.</p>
<p>We should ensure that the advantages of the people-oriented policies, like giving free medical care and free education, formulated by President Kim Il Sung and applied by the Party and state throughout their history are given fuller play in the people&#8217;s living.</p>
<p>We should speed up the construction of 100 000 flats in Pyongyang with those in Mansudae Street as a model, and build beautiful socialist streets and villages in a greater number in other urban and rural areas.</p>
<p>Socialist principles should be maintained in commodity circulation, and the quality of welfare service improved decisively.</p>
<p>The fundamental secret of making a new leap in this year&#8217;s general offensive lies in launching a campaign to push back the frontiers of science and technology in all sectors.</p>
<p>We must turn out as one under the slogan, &#8220;Let us push back the frontiers of science and technology in all the sectors of the building of a great, prosperous and powerful country and leap higher and faster!&#8221;</p>
<p>The sector of defence industry, a major front in pushing back the frontiers of science and technology, should continue to lead the efforts to open the gate to a great, prosperous and powerful country, and all other sectors and units of the national economy should launch a drive to push back the frontiers of science and technology.</p>
<p>They should bring science and technology close to production and put themselves on a modern and scientific basis in a far-sighted manner, focusing on enhancing their abilities to develop new technologies and products.</p>
<p>We should map out a correct strategy for the development of science and technology as required by the 21st century, and rapidly develop core technologies, technical engineering of major sectors and basic science.</p>
<p>Scientists and technicians should fulfil their role as the pioneers in pushing back the frontiers of science and technology and standard-bearers in making their country a scientific and technological giant, with a determination to glorify their country by means of their intelligence, their technology.</p>
<p>All the sectors should conduct a vigorous mass technological innovation movement to push back the frontiers of science and technology and create new norms and records.</p>
<p>Today&#8217;s vibrant reality requires a revolutionary change in organizing economic work.</p>
<p>The leading economic officials should map out aggressive and realistic business and management strategies, and actively push ahead with the advance of the current great upsurge.</p>
<p>A strict discipline should be established in planning, financial management and labour administration, so as to give full play to the superiority of the highly-organized, socialist planned economy.</p>
<p>In order to maximize the speed of this year&#8217;s general offensive, it is necessary to give steady play to the unconquerable mental strength of the service personnel and people.</p>
<p>Our Party remains unchanged in its stand to persistently hold fast to the ideological strength, mental strength, no matter how the situation may change.</p>
<p>The mental strength of our people is based on the strong will and fighting spirit of General<br />
Kim Jong Il.</p>
<p>All the Party members and other people should become staunch revolutionaries and vanguard fighters, who, defending their leader unto death, translate into reality the idea of great upsurge and the far-reaching plans of the General, who continues his unremitting forced march for the benefit of his country and fellow people.</p>
<p>The slogan &#8220;When the Party is determined, we can do anything!&#8221; must become the eternal motto of our people in their life and struggle.</p>
<p>For us, who have to make a higher and faster leap towards the world, national dignity is as precious as life itself.</p>
<p>We should thoroughly embody the Korean-nation-first spirit in all fields of social life as befits the people of a dignified power, who opened up an era of frontier science in which our satellite is circling the orbit.</p>
<p>The sector of art and literature should produce many masterpieces so as to give the fullest play to the mental strength of the service personnel and people.</p>
<p>In order to achieve the goals set by the Party this year, we should strengthen in every way the might of our revolutionary ranks, whose core is the Korean People&#8217;s Army.</p>
<p>The KPA should plan and conduct all forms of its military and political work on the highest level this year that marks the 50th anniversary of the start of the Songun-based revolutionary leadership of Supreme Commander Kim Jong Il, thus giving fuller play to the inexhaustible might of the revolutionary army of Mt. Paektu.</p>
<p>The KPA is an elite force that has formed a harmonious whole with the Supreme Commander in idea and will, in disposition and pluck, and in feeling and emotion.</p>
<p>It should train all its men and officers into the vanguard fighters of the Songun revolution, holding aloft the slogan &#8220;Let us defend with our very lives the leadership of revolution headed by the great Comrade Kim Jong Il!&#8221;</p>
<p>It should ensure that it overflows with the soldiers&#8217; spirit of implementing without condition the orders and directives of the Supreme Commander by holding the work of establishing the revolutionary command system and military discipline as a priority task of the Party political work and developing the work without letup.</p>
<p>It should always remain highly alert without a moment of relaxation or indolence while keeping itself fully ready for combat action so that it can resolutely frustrate any surprise attacks of the enemy.</p>
<p>The men and officers of the People&#8217;s Army should continue to perform feats that would go down in history in the grand construction sites, including the Huichon Power Station, by displaying the revolutionary soldier spirit.</p>
<p>Under the slogan &#8220;Let us help the people!&#8221; they should strengthen the unity between the army and the people, a foundation of Songun Korea, and become the role models for civilians in the ideological spirit, morality, sports and physical culture, the arts and all other aspects.</p>
<p>The working class, youth and all other people, who are taking part in the effort for the building of a great, prosperous and powerful country, should launch determined offensives, regarding their work places as battle fields.</p>
<p>Our workers should create a new speed of advance in the spirit of having performed labour feats during the 150-day and 100-day campaigns.</p>
<p>The youth, who are a shock brigade in the great revolutionary upsurge, should make breakthroughs in the construction site of the Paektusan Songun Youth Power Station and other most difficult and labour-intensive posts and build more monumental edifices representing the Songun era, burning their hearts with the determination to move even the mountain if the Party calls them to do so.</p>
<p>They should become heroes, who add lustre to the era of great upsurge with undying labour feats, and talented persons, who highly demonstrate the dignity of the country by pushing back the frontiers of science and technology.</p>
<p>We should strengthen the Party and remarkably enhance the role of Party organizations to achieve a brilliant victory in this year&#8217;s general offensive.</p>
<p>This year, when we will be celebrating the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Party, Party organizations should give free rein to our Party&#8217;s militant might, which was built in the tempest of the Songun revolution, by bringing about a fresh turn in the Party work.</p>
<p>They should further intensify the Three-Revolution Red Flag Movement, so as to ensure that the revolution in ideology, technology and culture is waged briskly at all units.</p>
<p>We should defend the interests of the masses in a thoroughgoing way and solve all problems by relying on their strength as required by the revolutionary mass line of the Party.</p>
<p>Officials should become true servants of the people, who understand their sentiments and unfold their work as suited to these sentiments, and commanding personnel who, enjoy reputation and love among them, as they are possessed of free and easy character and ennobling humane traits.</p>
<p>All Party members, with a high political consciousness that they are the members of the glorious Workers&#8217; Party of Korea, should become skillful political activists and courageous fighters, who always hold the flag in the van in all fronts of making a great upsurge.</p>
<p>The working people&#8217;s organizations should strengthen ideological education and briskly conduct various kinds of mass movements, like the socialist emulation movement among their members so as to give free rein to their patriotic enthusiasm in today&#8217;s effort for building a great, prosperous and powerful nation.</p>
<p>This year marks the 10th anniversary of the publication of the historic June 15 North-South Joint Declaration.</p>
<p>The North-South Summit and the publication of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration in 2000 were a historic event that is of great significance in accomplishing the cause of national reunification.</p>
<p>Under the banner of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration, a new era of independent reunification has been opened, and great, unprecedented successes were achieved in the development of inter-Korean relations and the national reunification movement.</p>
<p>The previous ten years since the publication of the June 15 joint declaration followed by the publication of the October 4 declaration for its implementation, during which the Korean nation has advanced along the road for independent reunification and peace and prosperity, has clearly confirmed that these declarations are the most reasonable reunification programmes and the ideal of &#8220;By our nation itself&#8221; is the very national spirit and the one and only ideal in the June 15 reunification era.</p>
<p>Last year, we took active and bold measures and made sincere efforts in order to improve the aggravated inter-Korean relations and bring a radical phase in national reunification.</p>
<p>Our measures evoked great support and sympathy at home and abroad and created an atmosphere of dialogue and cooperation between the north and the south.</p>
<p>The schemes of the separatist forces to thwart the advance of the era of June 15 reunification are vicious, but they cannot break the desire and will of the fellow countrymen to achieve independent reunification and national prosperity by implementing the north-south joint declarations, and it is inevitable that the pro-reunification, patriotic forces will prevail over the separatist forces and emerge victorious.</p>
<p>This year we should hold high the slogan &#8220;Let the entire nation unite under the banner of north-south joint declarations and achieve national reunification at the earliest date!&#8221;</p>
<p>The way for improving the north-south relations should be opened.</p>
<p>Unshakable is our stand that we will improve the north-south relations and open the way for national reunification on the basis of the historic June 15 joint declaration and October 4 declaration.</p>
<p>If the south Korean authorities continue to negate the June 15 joint declaration and cling to the policy of confrontation in collusion with the foreign forces, the relations between the north and the south will never be improved.</p>
<p>They should refrain from committing acts that may aggravate the confrontation and tension, and take the road of respecting the inter-Korean declarations, promoting north-south dialogue and improving the relations between both sides.</p>
<p>National reconciliation and cooperation should be promoted actively.</p>
<p>Reconciliation should be promoted with the common national interests given precedence, and cooperation should be encouraged through travel and contacts between the people from all walks of life.</p>
<p>All sorts of legal and institutional mechanisms that hinder the projects for common interests and prosperity of the nation should be abolished and free discussion and activities of the broad sections of the people for reunification should be fully ensured.</p>
<p>The unity of the entire nation constitutes a decisive guarantee for the country&#8217;s reunification.</p>
<p>All the fellow countrymen in the north and the south and abroad should strengthen solidarity and collaboration to develop the national reunification movement.</p>
<p>They should build up the atmosphere of independent national reunification, reconciliation, cooperation and unity on a nationwide scale to greet the 10th anniversary of the publication of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and the 30th anniversary of the proposal for the founding of the Democratic Federal Republic of Koryo.</p>
<p>The entire Korean nation should crown the year 2010 as a year of opening a new phase of independent reunification by frustrating all challenges of the anti-reunification forces with their concerted efforts and stepping up the grand nationwide march toward reunification.</p>
<p>The fundamental task for ensuring peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in the rest of Asia is to put an end to the hostile relationship between the DPRK and the USA.</p>
<p>It is the consistent stand of the DPRK to establish a lasting peace system on the Korean Peninsula and make it nuclear-free through dialogue and negotiations.</p>
<p>Our Party and the government of our Republic will strive to develop relations of good-neighbourliness and friendship with other countries and achieve global independence under the unfurled banner of independence, peace and friendship.</p>
<p>Our Party is a great guide which steers our motherland and people to sure victory, and ours are heroic army and people who perform everything without fail once the Party has planned and decided to do it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The majestic firework display to be held on the auspicious October holiday will resound all over the world as a reflection of the determination of all the service personnel and people to follow the Party to the last along the road of Songun and the delight of all the people in enjoying the blessings of socialism.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: red;"><em>This piece is directly inspired by Constantin Von Hoffmeister&#8217;s : &#8220;<a href="http://www.freemediaproductions.info/Editorials/2009/08/23/jewish-bolshevism-european-liberation/"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Jewish Bolshevism, European Liberation</span></a>.&#8221;  It involves both modifications and original thoughts.  It is a &#8220;remix.&#8221;</em></span></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Mr. Hussein is a strong advocate of progress under the banner of secularism and a united Arab destiny. Mr. Hussein believes that a dictatorial government that force-feeds modernization is a shortcut to progress. He is convinced that such an approach will catapult the backward Arab world, starting with Iraq, into the next century.<br />
-<a href="http://www.freemediaproductions.info/Firezone/showpost.php?p=58633&amp;postcount=1 "><span style="text-decoration: underline;">New York Times</span></a></strong></p></blockquote>
<p>The Ba&#8217;athist movment was and is clearly run by mainly Caucasoid Arabs (of course there is some racial variation), of Mediterranean appearance in Syria and of partial Iranid mixture in Iraq, who claim religious beliefs from Christianity, to Islam, to atheism, to even Judaism.  It was a Jewish mother who convinced Saddam Hussein&#8217;s mother not to abort him.  While many Muslims participate, an important point in their worldview is the separation of church and state.  Ba&#8217;thists enthusiastically embrace secularism and technological progress and oppose Sharia law.  In addition, the Iraqi Ba&#8217;athists embraced the Soviet Union, logically becoming allies of third positionists as nationalists who are conscious of the dangers of capitalism. The Ba&#8217;thist Arabs were not religious fanatics but progressive Human Beings.  &#8220;American” imperialists targeted the Ba&#8217;athists not because they were a theological threat, but out of Corporate greed.  There was no link between Al-Qaeda and Ba&#8217;athism, so the war was fought under false pretenses.</p>
<p>Arab Ba&#8217;thists strongly resisted and continue to resist a global capitalist structure that not only keeps them enslaved but also the majority of the world. Hence, Arab Ba&#8217;thists and their American, European and Israeli Third Positionist brothers should work actively together to smash imperialistic ideologies like capitalism, Shia fundamentalism, Sunni fundamentalism and mainstream Torah Zionism (secular Zionism is okay) wherever possible! HAIL the heroic Ba&#8217;athists! Only those who do not understand the material falsehoods of Abrahamic theology do not appreciate the hard work that they did for the betterment of progressive thinking. The accomplishments of the Arab Ba&#8217;athists should be remembered by any self-respecting race realist and anti-capitalist nationalist.</p>
<p>While the Middle East, North Africa and Near East are now enslaved by a reactionary religion, at one point Arabs were major contributors to paganism and technical progress.  Saddam Hussein set out to progress his people scientifically at the expense of religion in the same way that Stalin did!  The regime in Israel which the Ba&#8217;thists opposed was nothing but a puppet for American interests.  America stabbed Saddam Hussein in the back, and logically he had to respond with defiance.  But this does not mean that Saddam Hussein was fixated on killing Jews.  Being a secular man, I firmly believe that Saddam Hussein was open minded enough to embrace the right Israel if it wasn&#8217;t aligned against his interests behind America.</p>
<p>How do Clerics view the Ba&#8217;athists? As traitors to Islam who need to be decapitated!</p>
<p>HAIL the Ba&#8217;athist Arabs! Good fascists most of them… HAIL the ideology and the pragmatic results of its applications!</p>
<p>Some Arabs supported the Ba&#8217;thist Revolution to liberate the Arabs from the possibility of encroaching Sharia Law while others chose to side with the non-Arab South Asians who worship an Arabian religion in Iran.  The Ba&#8217;thist Arabs that sacrificed their lives to aid the destruction of Sharia law and liberal capitalism were spiritually connected to Europeans and secular Israelis that fought for the same goal.  It is absolutely correct to distinguish between good Arabs and bad Arabs. It is retarded to throw all Arabs into the same pot, declaring them enemies of progressive civilization. After all, historical evidence suggests otherwise. Besides, many Arabs were and are similar to Europeans, both culturally and racially.  All were pagan and now all are ruled by Abraham&#8217;s creed (Christianity, Judaism and Islam come from Abraham)! Physically, Bashar al-Assad is the president of Syria, and he is DEFINITELY Mediterranean in appearance, similar to a person in Southern Europe. Is Saddam Hussein non-White? No.  Is Ralph Nader non-White? No. Is Steve Jobbs non-White? No.</p>
<p>Arabs as a group are not the enemy.  Massive immigration of Arabs into Europe, and Islamic imperialism are the enemy, but not Arabs in a physical sense just because they are Arabs. Theocratic nuts are the enemy.  Failing to realize the genetic link between Europe and the Middle East is anthropology for a crippled mind.  A lot of Arabs look Mediterranean in appearance, a few are actually blondish, and a few have a particular &#8220;Arabid&#8221; type which is still Caucasoid.  There are, however, negroids who live in Arab countries and have mixed, and they should not be confused with the indigenous Arabs.  In the case of Iraq, Iranian admixture is present (Persians are not Arabs).  There is variation in phenotype internal to the Arab linguistic group just like there is variation in phenotype internal to the Hispanic linguistic group, Soviet Geographical group and American geographical group.  Nevertheless the majority of Arabs are Caucasoid, with some variation in appearance from the Peninsula to the Gulf to the fertile crescent.</p>
<p>Islam is a reactionary religion. Iraq was a secular state and therefore indefinitely more progressive than the Islamic “republics” surrounding it. Most Arabs in Iraq opposed sharia law while other Muslims are religious fanatics. Why a socialist should support religious fanatics instead of rational secularists is beyond me. Ba&#8217;thism is a beacon of communitarianism. This is why it is necessary that Arabs orient themselves towards either Ba&#8217;thism or Social Nationalism (another secular party in Syria) instead of towards a capitalist liberalist AmeriKa or Sharia law. Social nationalists fringe movements and mainstream Ba&#8217;thist movements are trying to push Arabs in that direction. Only modernism can guarantee communitarian stability in the Middle East, if necessary by force. After all, it has been conclusively proven that hardcore Muslims are incapable of uniting themselves, for whatever cause. Muslims are by nature tribal and factional but Saddam Hussein brought many people together under his rule. Ba&#8217;athists are more industrious than theocrats as well. This is why Iraq remained a techno-progressive labor nation while Muslim nations reverted to their medieval (and natural) state of tribal and nomadic desert communities. While Saddam looked towards the future, Muslims longed to live in the past.</p>
<p>Iraq was a race realist tribal state which is superior to a liberal state. If Iraq was only a liberal state, it would have been defeated by Islam. But since Ba&#8217;athists are of a different mindset than Theocrats, Iraq adamantly resisted Iran. This is a good thing. Actually, to civilize the Middle East, Iraq was correct to invade Iran and Ku&#8217;wait. The effects of reactionary imperialism could be erased with progressive imperialism. Of course, for this to happen, Iraq needed the support of America, which backstabbed it, and could have benefited from a Euro-Siberian Empire.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.northstarcompass.org">From Northstar Compass (Nov./Dec. 2009 ed). </a></p>
<p><em>By  BRUNIDE LA MOTTE<br />
Guardian newspaper<br />
UK Nov/  8/09</em></p>
<p>On November 9, 1989 when the Berlin Wall came down I realized that German unification would soon follow, which it did a year later. That meant the end of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), the country in which I was born, grew up, gave birth to my two children, gained my Doctorate and enjoyed a fulfilling job as a lecturer at Potsdam University. The union brought wealth for some, but it also brought social breakdown, widespread unemployment, blacklisting, a crass materialism and an &#8220;elbow society&#8221; as well as demonisation of the country I lived in and helped shape it. Despite some advantages, for most it was more a disaster than a celebratory event.</p>
<p>Here are just two. My best friend, a foreign languages teacher, lost her job and was then blacklisted because, at the time the wall fell, she was teaching at the GDR Law College. She wasn&#8217;t a member of the Party or a political activist. After much searching she managed to find a job helping students who were excluded from school, because their parents were working in the GDR Government.</p>
<p>My brother who has a PhD in Philosophy of Science, lost his research job at the GDR Academy of Sciences, and ever since has only been able to find odd low-paying temporary jobs.</p>
<p>After the Wall was torn down more than 85% of industrial enterprises were sold to private firms in West Germany. More than 1.7 million of hectares of agricultural and forest lands were sold off and 80% of agricultural workers lost their jobs.</p>
<p>In 1990 the GDR economy plunged into bankruptcy when the hasty &#8220;currency union&#8221; was imposed by the West. The results were that the GDR export products rose in price by 450% overnight and were no longer competitive and thus the West gained more markets at the expense of GDR and the working people who became unemployed on a massive scale.</p>
<p>In the GDR everyone had a home, a guaranteed job, health care and all benefits that the socialist GDR gave to the people. After the unification close to 3,000,000 claims by non-GDR citizens were made on the GDR citizens&#8217; homes! Most of the GDR citizens lost their homes to West Germans that were abetted by the West. Scores of GDR citizens committed suicide when they were evicted from their homes that they and their children grew up in.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the price of the forced reunification and the sell off by traitors like Gorbachev and others!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/01/01/danish.cartoon.break.in/index.html"><u>The Link</u></a><br />
I want to give my official endorsement to Kurt Westergaard, who was attacked by a raving Muslim associated with Al-Qaeda for the cartoon he drew.  Keep drawing more cartoons!  I officially endorse you!  Death to your attacker!  Keep up your anti-imperialist message against Islamic imperialism!</p>
<blockquote><p>A Somali man believed to have ties to terrorist groups was shot as he allegedly tried to enter the home of Danish political cartoonist Kurt Westergaard &#8212; known for his controversial depictions of the Muslim prophet Mohammed &#8212; on Friday, police said.</p>
<p>The 27-year-old man, who was not identified, wielded an ax and a knife and cracked a window at Westergaard&#8217;s home in Aarhus, said police spokesman Morten Jensen. A home alarm alerted police to the scene at 10 p.m., and they were attacked by the man, he said.</p>
<p>The officers shot the man in the right leg and left hand. He was hospitalized, but was not seriously injured, police said.</p>
<p>Danish intelligence officials said the suspect is connected to al-Shabaab, al Qaeda&#8217;s ally in east Africa.</p>
<p>The incident &#8220;once again confirms the terrorist threat that is directed against Denmark and against cartoonist Kurt Westergaard, in particular,&#8221; said Jakob Scharf, spokesman for the Danish Security and Intelligence Service, in a statement.</p>
<p>Westergaard&#8217;s caricature of Mohammed &#8212; which depicted the prophet wearing a bomb as a turban with a lit fuse &#8212; sparked an uproar among Muslims in early 2006 after newspapers reprinted the images months later as a matter of free speech. The cartoon was first published by the Danish newspaper Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten in September 2005.</p>
<p>At the time, Westergaard said he wanted his cartoon to say that some people exploited the prophet to legitimize terror. However, many in the Muslim world interpreted the drawing as depicting their prophet as a terrorist.</p>
<p>Over the years, Danish authorities have arrested other suspects who allegedly plotted against Westergaard&#8217;s life.</p>
<p>After three such arrests were made in February 2008, Westergaard issued a statement, saying, &#8220;Of course I fear for my life after the Danish Security and Intelligence Service informed me of the concrete plans of certain people to kill me. However, I have turned fear into anger and indignation. It has made me angry that a perfectly normal everyday activity which I used to do by the thousand was abused to set off such madness.&#8221;</p>
<p>Scharf said authorities have taken measures to ensure Westergaard&#8217;s safety, and that the protection has &#8220;proven effective.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #969696;"><strong>By:</strong></span> <a href="http://www.iranchamber.com/personalities/ashariati/ali_shariati.php"><span style="color: #969696;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Dr. Ali Shariati</span></strong></span></a><span style="color: #969696;"><strong>,</strong> 1933 &#8211; 1977</span></p>
<p><strong>I</strong>slam is a religion which made its appearance in the history of mankind with the cry of &#8220;No!&#8221; from Mohammad (PBUH), the heir of Abraham, the manifestation of the religion of the Unity of God and the oneness of mankind; a &#8220;No&#8221; which begins with the cry of &#8220;Unity&#8221;, a cry which Islam reiterated when confronted with aristocracy and compromise.</p>
<p>Shi&#8217;ism is the Islam which differentiates itself and selects its direction in the history of Islam with the &#8220;No&#8221; of the great Ali, the heir of Mohammad and the manifestation of the Islam of Justice and Truth, a &#8220;No&#8221; which he gives to the Council for the Election of the Caliph, in answer to Abdul Rahman, who was the manifestation of Islamic aristocracy and compromise. This &#8220;No&#8221;, up until pre-Safavid times, is recognized as part of the Shi&#8217;ite movement in the history of Islam, an indication of the social and political role of a group who are the followers of Ali, known for their association with the kindness of the family of the Prophet. It is a movement based upon the Qoran and the Traditions; not the Qoran and the traditions as proclaimed by the dynasties of the Omayyids, Abbasids, Ghaznavids, Seljuks, Mongols and Timurids, but the ones proclaimed by the family of Mohammad.</p>
<p>The history of Islam follows a strange path; a path in which gangsters and ruffians from the Arab, Persian, Turk, Tartar and Mongol dynasties all enjoyed the right to the leadership of the Moslem community and to the caliphate of the Prophet of Islam, to the exclusion of the family of the Prophet and the rightful Imams of Islam. And Shi&#8217;ism begins with a &#8220;No&#8221;; a &#8220;No&#8221; which opposes the path chosen by history, and rebels against history. It rebels against a history which, in the name of the Qoran, Kings and Caesars, follows the path of ignorance, and in the name of tradition, sacrifices those brought up in the house of the Qoran and the Traditions!</p>
<p>Shi&#8217;ites do not accept the path chosen by history. They deny the leaders who ruled the muslims throughout history and deceived the majority of the people through their succession to the Prophet, and then by their supposed support of Islam and fight against paganism. Shi&#8217;ites turn their backs on the opulent mosques and magnificent palaces of the Caliphs of Islam and turn to the lonely, mud house of Fatima. Shi&#8217;ites, who represent the oppressed, justice-seeking class in the Caliphate system, find in this house whatever and whoever they have been seeking:-</p>
<p><strong>Fatima:</strong><br />
the heir of the Prophet, the manifestation of the &#8220;rights of the oppressed&#8221; and, at the same time, the symbol of the first objection, a strong and clear embodiment of the &#8220;seeking of justice&#8221;. In the ruling system, these are the cries and slogans of subject nations and oppressed classes.</p>
<p><strong>Ali:</strong><br />
the manifestation of a justice which serves the oppressed, a sublime embodiment of the Truth who is sacrificed on the altar of inhuman regimes, and which lies hidden in the layers of the formal religion of the rulers.</p>
<p><strong>Hassan:</strong><br />
the manifestation of the last resistance of the garrison of &#8220;Imamate Islam&#8221;, who confronts the first garrison of &#8220;Islamic Rule&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>Hussein:</strong><br />
bears witness to those who have been martyred by the oppressors throughout history, heir of all the leaders fighting for freedom and equality and the seekers of justice, from Adam to himself, forever the messenger of martyrdom, the manifestation of bloody revolution.</p>
<p><strong>Zeinab:</strong><br />
bears witness to all of the defenseless prisoners in the system of executioners, and is the messenger left after martyrdom, and the manifestation of the message of revolution.</p>
<p>Shi&#8217;ites take their slogans from the embodiment of the tribulations and hopes of the masses of the oppressed. Aware of the rulers, and in rebellion against them, they cry out:-</p>
<p><em>&#8220;Seek the leadership of Ali and flee from the leadership of cruelty. Choose Imamate, and stamp &#8216;cancelled,&#8217; &#8216;disbelief&#8217; and &#8216;dispossession&#8217; upon the forehead of the Caliphate.</em></p>
<p><em>Choose justice, and overthrow the system of paradox and discrimination in ownership.</em></p>
<p><em>Choose the principle of being ready to protest against the existing conditions, where the ruling government, religious leaders and aristocracy try to show that everything is in accordance with the Will of God, the Divine Law and the satisfaction of God and his creatures. Such things, to the ruling government, included their conquests, their plundering of mosques, associations, schools, gifts, trusts, and charities and the observance of religious ceremonies and practices.</em></p>
<p><em>Choose religious leadership for the central organization of the movement.</em></p>
<p><em>Choose the concept of imitation of your betters so as to properly organize your energies and bring order, discipline and direction.</em></p>
<p><em>Choose the viceregency of the Imam so as to have a responsible leader.</em></p>
<p><em>Give a share of the funds to provide for the socio-political struggle, for educational foundations and for teaching, in a system where all religious funds are forcibly collected by the government acting as a government of the Law.</em></p>
<p><em>Choose mourning, to continue the constant historical struggle of the Shi&#8217;ites against usurpers, treachery, cruelty, and the sources of fraud, lying and degeneration, and especially to keep alive the memories of the martyrs.</em></p>
<p>Remember Ashura, to humiliate the ruling group who call themselves the inheritors of the traditions of the Prophet, for the remembrance of it will prove that they are the inheritors of the killers and murderers of the Prophet&#8217;s family. It will show you a path of action, and provide an answer to the recurring question &#8220;What should be done?&#8221;. It will help you to decide on the best agenda for the struggle against the rule of tyranny. It will avoid allegiance to cruelty. It will provide a pattern for the unbroken continuity of history. It will declare an unending struggle between the inheritors of Adam and the inheritors of the devil. Ashura reminds us of the teaching of the eternal fact that the present version of Islam (in1972), is a criminal Islam in the dress of tradition, and that the real Islam is the hidden Islam, hidden in the red cloak of martyrdom.</p>
<p>And finally, concealment; creating a clever camouflage for the organization, and its activities, affiliations, leadership, personalities and plans, to protect the leadership, people and groups from being harrassed by the rulers of the day and from the hard-heartedness of the religious organisation associated with them, who might either slander the Shi&#8217;ite movement through excommunication and rouse the ignorant masses against them, or destroy it through persecutions, or weaken it through wholesale murders, imprisonment and deportations, and thus to create the best conditions for the struggle and its continuation; to practice, carefully, the principle of secrecy, and maintain the distinctive conditions of an underground movement.&#8221;</p>
<p>We can see that for over eight centuries (until the Safavid era), Alavite Shi&#8217;ism was more than just a revolutionary movement in history which opposed all the autocratic and class-conscious regimes of the Omayyid and Abbasid caliphates and the kingships of the Ghaznavids, the Seljuks, the Mongols, the Timurids and the two Khanids, who had made the government version of the Sunni School their official religion, and it waged a secret struggle of ideas and action. Like a revolutionary party, Shi&#8217;ism had a well-organized, informed, deep-rooted and well-defined ideology, with clear-cut and definite slogans and a disciplined and well-groomed organization. It led the deprived and oppressed masses in their movements for freedom and for seeking justice. It is considered to have been the rallying-point for the demands, distress, and rebellions of the intellectuals seeking to gain their rights, and for the masses in search of justice.</p>
<p>Because of this, throughout history, as the power of the rulers grew, the difficulties, injustice, dispossessions, and the denial of the rights of the people, and the exploitation of the farmers, increased. Inequality became more pronounced because of the system of aristocracy, class-inequalities, brain-washing, ideological prejudices, the connection between the theologians and the temporal rulers, the poverty and privation of the masses, and the power and wealth of the rulers. When this occurred, the Shi&#8217;ite front became stronger, the basic slogans of the movement more powerful, and the struggle of the Shi&#8217;ites more intense and more important. It changed from a School of thought, a way of study and religious sectarianism reserved for the intellectuals and the chosen few, to a way of correctly understanding Islam and the culture of the people of the house of the Prophet, when confronted by Greek philosophy and oriental Sufism, to a deep-rooted and revolutionary, socio-political movement of the masses, especially the rural masses. It caused greater fear among the autocratic rulers and the hypocritical religious bodies who rule the people in the name of the Sunni sect.</p>
<p>It is for this reason that the pseudo-intellectual and free-thinking rulers, at whose courts the Jews, Christians, Magians and even the materialists enjoy freedom, honor and influence, talk of the Shi&#8217;ites with such anger and vexation that a massacre of all of them would not quench the thirst of these rulers. They flay them alive, pass iron rods through their eyes, pull out their tongues and burn them alive. These are all current practices of the day. It reaches the point that the historians, theologians and even philosophers and men of piety of the court considered it to be part of their prayers to invent any false accusations, forgeries and falsified records that they could against the Shi&#8217;ites! It is in such circumstances that Sultan Mahmoud of Ghazni declares &#8220;I search the world over for a Shi&#8217;ite&#8221;. It is his government which sponsors the Sunni theological decree that marriage of a Moslem man with &#8220;people of the Book&#8221; i.e. Jews, Christians and Zoroastrians, is legal, but it is illegal to marry a Shi&#8217;ite woman.</p>
<p>With the coming to power of the Seljuks, prejudices and bias become stronger against the world of thought and religion. From the social point of view, the feudal and guardianship system accentuates the degree of the exploitation of the masses, expecially the farmers, to an unbearable degree. In order to maintain the policies of the state, floggings and torture are necessary, resulting in the construction of many piles of skulls and eyes.</p>
<p>The religious body of the Sunni sect, which had from the beginning become &#8216;the government&#8217;s Islam&#8217;, becomes a conglomeration of the most debased and prejudiced beliefs and harsh rules. It turns into a tool for the justification of the inhuman ways of the rulers. It compromises with the autocratic regimes of the Ghaznavid and Seljuk Turks and the Mongols. It becomes an opiate for the masses, and an instrument for murder to be used to prevent any thought or action that jeopardizes the interests of the strong and harms the landlords and feudal chiefs.</p>
<p>This is what causes Shi&#8217;ism, during this period, to appear as the fountainhead of the rebellion and the struggle of the downtrodden and oppressed masses, especially the rural people. It flourished wonderfully, in multiple facets, and in different directions, moderate or extreme, in the form of various movements of the masses against the powers of the day; movements like the terrorism of Hasan Sabbah, the communal living of the Qaramateh, the extremist cultural and religious beliefs of the Ghalat, and the rebellion for free-thinking of some of the Sufi sects of the revolutionary and Shi&#8217;ite School of thought, against the harsh prejudices and the souless, petrifying censorship of the theological and legal system attached to the ruling group. Finally, the intellectual, moderate and rich School of the Imamate, as the greatest flow of thought and culture, rebels when confronted by the religion and culture of the government.</p>
<p>The rousing call and the possibilities for learning in this School of thought are based upon the twin principles of imamate and justice. It produces the revolutionary cries of A&#8217;shura and the aggressive mobilization of the masses against existing conditions. It invites people to await the hidden Imam who is in occultation. It raises the critical problems of the &#8217;signs of appearance&#8217; and the &#8216;end of time&#8217;. It keeps alive the hope of &#8216;redemption after martyrdom&#8217;. It promotes the idea of revenge and revolt, faith in the ultimate downfall of tyrants and the decrees of destiny against the ruling powers who dispense justice by the sword. It prepares all the oppressed and justice-seeking masses who are waiting to participate in the rebellion. In some towns like Kashan and Sabzevar, where the Shi&#8217;ites are strong, they saddle a white horse on Fridays, and all the people of the town, the protesting, disatisfied and expectant Shi&#8217;ites, follow the horse out of town, despite the opposition of the government and the ruling religion. They await redemption and freedom from tyranny, and the beginning of a rebellion. They discuss questions which cause fear among the ruling group.</p>
<p>During the first half of the eighth century, following the wholesale massacres of Ghengis Khan and Hulaku, when the rule of the Mongols had reduced the Iranian masses to submission, depression, humiliation and weakness; when the revenge of Ghengis Khan was law; when the sword and the hangman were enforcers of the law; when the Mongol Khans and nomads and the officers and chiefs of Mongol tribes each ruled as a feudal lord over various regions and estates, and had enslaved the peasants in the most cruel manner; when, in the towns as well, the men of religion were mostly in the service of the Mongol rulers, they called upon the masses to submit in the name of &#8216;the true Sunni religion&#8217; to the pseudo-Moslem rulers who continued to be replicas of Ghengis Khan. They circumcised themselves only to please the religious sentiments of the Moslems, at the cost of the spread of the culture, faith, morality, society and of the very existence of the Moslems!</p>
<p>Some of the religious men, whose piety made them abstain from co-operating with the rulers and tyrants, had crept into the oblivion of piety in the monasteries of the Sufis, thereby indirectly becoming the means by which the path is paved for oppression and the ground is prepared for murder. They had left the people defenseless against the floggings of the Mongol executioners and robbers, and the fraudulent men of religion.</p>
<p>It is under these circumstances that a religious preacher sets out in search of the truth in the way that Salman did. Salman approaches all those with claims to religious faith. First he approaches the pious Balu to seek the path of salvation in his School of piety and freedom. There, he sees piety remaining silent against tyranny. What a shame! What heartlessness and selfishness, that a man should be surrounded by the screams of prisoners, the shouts of executioners, the poverty of the hungry, the whips of the cruel over the bodies of the helpless, and, instead of volunteering to defend them, that he should simply seek his own redemption and try to gain paradise for himself! Salman flees from this man in disgust and goes to Semnan to see Rukneddin Emad-od-Dowleh, whose piety and leadership in Sufi practices is well-known. He finds Sufi practices also, like piety, a means of escape from reality and responsibilities, turning away from the fate of the masses, and ignoring cruelty and tyranny. Salman finds the Sufi to have a tender heart, tender feelings and a sublime soul. But, how is it that the rivers of blood shed by the Mongols in this country, and that the decline threatening Islam and the masses of the people, do not in any way disturb the peace of his soul and the tenderness of his heart? Salman flees from him in hatred, and goes to the Sheikh ol-Islam, Imam Ghiasuddin Habibollah Hamavi in Bahrabad, to gain knowledge of the religious laws and the theology of the true Sunni sects from him, and to find his way back to the original spring of truth. Here, he sees a theology that discovers and discusses a thousand problems in bathroom etiquette, but has a total lack of any awareness of the evil destiny facing the nation.</p>
<p>Disgusted with all these robes of piety, and satisfied that these religious teachings are all the weavers of the clothes of piety to be worn on a body of oppression, then with a heart filled with hatred towards the cruel Mongol rulers, and reeling with pain because of the evil destiny of the Moslem masses, as a Moslem responsible for the people and knowledgeable about the times, and as a protestor against the existing system, having lost all faith in the sellers of religion, Sheikh Khalifeh chose the Islam of Ali, the School of protest and martyrdom.</p>
<p>In the dress of a simple darvish, he goes to Sabzevar as a lonely stranger, takes up residence in the great mosque of the town, and begins preaching there. This marks the beginning of the Sarbedaran liberation movement. He is a preacher who is in revolt against everything that teaches people to bow to ignorance and oppression, a revolt backed by a faith, a School of thought and a &#8220;Red&#8221; history: Shi&#8217;ism. Slowly, the deprived masses begin to understand, to find their way, and as a result, to become a threatening force. The official pseudo-clergy start their usual game of spreading rumors and then issuing religious decrees, and at last, calling for authorised murder, saying:-</p>
<p><em>&#8220;This Sheikh discusses worldly affairs in the mosque&#8221;,<br />
&#8220;This Sheikh conjectures in the mosque and defiles the house of God&#8221;, and  &#8220;This Sheikh confuses the religion of the people&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>The pseudo-clergy try to turn the people against him, and prepare the ground for his downfall. They help the Mongol ruler to take his life. They write to the Mongol ruler saying that the Sheikh has strayed from the true Sunni Religion, and is not prepared to repent and retract in spite of their best efforts. They say he is propagating worldly ideas in the mosque, and spreading the work of the protesters (Shi&#8217;ites)! They continue &#8220;His behaviour calls for the death penalty, and it is up to Sultan Saied to rid the religion of this pestilence&#8221;. The spreading of rumors and the rousing of people against him increases but the Sheikh&#8217;s call to understanding, faith and salvation, continues to attract the hearts of the deprived and suffering rural masses more and more to him. Until early one morning, when his admirers go as usual to see him, they see his dead body in the mosque.</p>
<p>After the Sheikh&#8217;s assassination, his disciple Sheikh Hasan Juri continues his work. He gives an immediate call to arms, organizes his disciples and goes underground. He starts roaming the towns and sowing the seeds of understanding and revolt wherever he goes, on the basis of Shi&#8217;ism. The minds of the people are prepared. The hearts of the enslaved masses are throbbing for revolt under the curtain of secrecy. One spark will be sufficient&#8230;</p>
<p>A nephew of the ruler enters the village of Baashteen, a village about thirty-six kilometers south of Sabzevar, as he normally does. With his followers, he enters the house of Abdul Razzaq, one of the pious and honourable villagers who is still reeling under the devastating influence of the religious propaganda of the ruler. The retinue asks the villagers for food, and are duly served. Then they ask for wine! For the villagers, who are Moslems and Shi&#8217;ites, who have been deeply influenced by the words of Sheikh Khalifeh, the bringing of wine for such rascals, and that, too, under compulsion, is too much. However, they serve it! The guests become intoxicated! They ask for women! This was the beginning of the explosion, very simple and rapid! The host goes to the people and calling the Shi&#8217;ite masses, exclaims that the Mongol ruler is asking for their women. What is their reply? They say &#8220;We are prepared to die rather than be so defiled! Our women for the enemy shall be our swords&#8221;. The result is inevitable. The masses have made up their minds. They kill the whole group at one attempt. As they know that there is no turning back, as they know that they have already chosen death, they stop wavering. The choice of death gives them such energy that their single village revolts against that bloodthirsty regime and is successful. The villagers overrun the town, fighting against the Mongol army and the decrees of the pseudo-clergy of the religion of the state. They are victorious. Their cry: &#8220;Salvation and Justice!&#8221; and &#8220;The destruction of the power of the ruling Mongols and the influence of the priests of the religion of the rulers and the big landowners of the ruling class&#8221;. The victims of the ignorance of the pseudo-clergy and the prisoners of the oppression of the Mongols continue joining the ranks of the rebels. Sabzevar becomes a center of power; like a fire that spreads through dry brush, the Shi&#8217;ite revolutionary guards, who enjoy the backing of the rural warriors and champions of the masses, and have the ideology of Sheikh Khalifeh and Sheikh Hasan and similar kinds of well-informed, righteous and missionary men of learning, engulf the whole of Khorasan and northern Iran and even inflame the south of the country. And for the first time, a revolutionary movement based on Alavite Shi&#8217;ism, against foreign domination, internal deceit, the power of the feudal lords and wealthy capitalists, had an armed uprising, led by peasants seven hundred years ago, under the banner of justice and the culture of martyrdom, for the salvation of the enslaved nation and the deprived masses.</p>
<p>And this is the last revolutionary wave of Alavite Shi&#8217;ism, Red Shi&#8217;ism, which continued for seven hundred years to be the flame of the spirit of revolution, the search for freedom, and justice, always inclining towards the common people and fighting relentlessly against oppression, ignorance and poverty.</p>
<p>A century later came the Safavids, and Shi&#8217;ism left the great mosque of the common people to become a next-door neighbor to the Palace of &#8216;Ali Qapu in the Royal Mosque.</p>
<p>Red Shi&#8217;ism changes to Black Shi&#8217;ism!</p>
<p>The Religion of Martyrdom changes to The Religion of Mourning.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Philosophies like Judaism, Christianity and Islam to the extent they are against the materialistic conclusions of both racialism and Marxism.  While racialists and Marxists have elements of their thought process grounded in materialism, nationalism recognizes the nature of reality and uses it to strive for ideals.</p>
<p>There is a difference between Torah “Zionism” and supporting Jewish self-determination under the philosophy of secular nationalism.  A Torah Zionist can be an ally to the extent they reconcile their views, but secularists are more likely to ally.  Perhaps Jews and Arabs (many of which are racially Caucasoid, but that&#8217;s not the point) could even work together in the name of a Third Positionist ideology that focused less on religion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/http://forum.stirpes.net/185440-post23.html"><u>The link (using a proxy)</u></a></p>
<p>Without knowing what you are doing, you can&#8217;t see this post if you are from America because Stirpes hates Americans.  They are European nationalists.  So I&#8217;m linking through a proxy.</p>
<p>This is interesting.  And it&#8217;s not uncommon.  I talk to an Iranian all the time and he hates Arabs.</p>
<p>By the way, I&#8217;m not some crazy &#8220;white nationalist&#8221; who thinks Middle Easterners (both Arabs and Iranians) are all &#8220;non-Whites.&#8221;</p>
<p>Here is the post.</p>
<blockquote><p>Yeah Spain had something beautiful called the inquisition</p>
<p>They literally cleaned out their nation out of Arabids since your so insisting on claiming J (Y-DNA) is a European gene. You will have no problem taking the refugees from our own inquistion</p>
<p>We have 36% J (Y-DNA) who feel Islam and only Arabid leaders of the lineage of their Bedouin cheif can rule Iran!</p>
<p>J (y-DNA) 99% of the time is Semitic, only one or two subclades of J2 are farmers who went to greece and spread all over Europe, some of you own J are Sephardi &#038; Lucera Muslism converts &#038; Roman Slaves&#8230;etc</p>
<p>Your Arabid population is assimilated ours is not they are occupying us, I have nothing to do with Islam or their Arabid culture or any single Arabic word, yet the whole world insists on imposing that image on us.</p>
<p>The Caspain region is our Kingdom of Asturias &#038; we will reconquer our lands if you are a true European you will side with your R1a &#038; R1b kinsmen &#038; don&#8217;t try to play down Arabid J (Y-DNA) as Europeans, usually jews do that to make it easy for them to mix Europe, they even call Arab people White in the USA!&#8230;. :-O</p></blockquote>

<p>Pyongyang, December 13 (KCNA) &#8212; Voices calling for withdrawal of nuclear weapons is now ringing out more loudly than ever before in the Western European countries where lots of U.S. nukes have been deployed, says Minju Joson Sunday in a signed commentary.</p>
<p>Nuclear disarmament is one of the requirements of the times and an international trend, it notes, and goes on:</p>
<p>Nevertheless, the U.S. has made desperate efforts to keep the deployed nuclear weapons at any cost, claiming that the existence of about 200 B61 thermal nuclear bombs deployed by it in such Western European countries as Italy, Belgium, Germany and Netherlands, is important for the security of NATO and they would deter its member nations from developing their own nuclear weapons.</p>
<p>This goes to prove that though the U.S. pays lip-service to &#8220;nuclear disarmament&#8221;, it is nothing but hypocrisy and the U.S. is an arch criminal of nuclear threat and proliferation.</p>
<p>It is the U.S. invariable policy and strategic goal to contain other big powers and threaten, blackmail and put under its control the anti-imperialist independent countries with an unchallenged nuclear edge and thus realize its ambition for world supremacy.</p>
<p>The U.S. is keen on threatening and blackmailing other countries with nukes and many other weapons of mass destruction it deployed in different parts of the world. It is giving spurs to modernization of nuclear weapons while squandering a huge amount of money under the pretext of coping with &#8220;nuclear threat&#8221; from someone given that it is left with no justification to increase nuclear armed forces after the end of the Cold War.</p>
<p>The world is beset with danger of a new nuclear arms race and nuclear confrontation, its peace and security being exposed to grave threat, owing to the U.S. frantic arms expansion and nuclear war moves.</p>
<p>Peace can never settle in this land as long as the U.S. nuclear weapons are left intact. This is the unanimous assertion of the peaceloving people of the world including those countries in the European region and the demand of the times.</p>
<p>The U.S. would be well advised to stop at once the anachronistic and anti-peace nuclear war moves as required by the international community calling for the nuclear disarmament and the dismantlement of nuclear weapons.</p>

<p align="center"><strong><em>“You are the best of people evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right,</em></strong></p>
<p align="center"><strong><em>forbidding what is wrong and believing in the Creator…”</em></strong></p>
<p align="center"><em>~ <strong>Al Quran</strong>: Surah 3 Verse 110</em></p>

<p align="center"><strong><em>Let’s organise ourselves and protect our children from the dangers they face every day! </em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Join other neighbours and establish a PAGAD Branch in your area.</em></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>Background Information (from www.sahistory.org):<br />
</strong></em></p>
<p>People Against Gangsterism and Drugs (PAGAD) came into being in 1996 when communities on the Cape Flats, Cape Town decided to form an anti-crime organisation. The aim was to fight the drugs and violence plaguing their area. PAGAD began as a multi-religious organisation, but because its dominant membership was of Muslim people, it became an Islamic front. Later, PAGAD developed anti-government and Western sentiments, as</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin: 10px;" title="PAGAD" src="http://www.worldstatesmen.org/PAGAD_logo.gif" alt="" width="300" height="154" /></p>
<p>the organisation believes that the South African government poses a threat to Islamic values. It also aims to create better political representation for South African Muslims.</p>
<p>Due to its controversial vigilante tactics, the organisation has several front names like Muslims Against Global Oppression (MAGO) and Muslims Against Illegitimate Leaders (MAIL) under which it launches anti-</p>
<p>Western campaigns. PAGAD&#8217;s military wing is called G-Force, for Gun Force, and functions as small groups or cells. It is believed that G-Force has been responsible for acts of sabotage and violence akin to terrorism.</p>
<p>PAGAD has been implicated in episodes of urban terrorism in Cape Town since 1998, especially 9 different explosions in 2000. The groups attacks synagogues, gay nightclubs, moderate Muslims, tourist attractions and restaurants with Western associations, like the Planet Hollywood bombing in Cape Town on 25 August 1998. PAGAD denied any involvement in the event after subsequent raids on several members&#8217; homes within 20 minutes of the explosion.</p>
<p>The organisation first came into the spotlight in 1996 when members shot and set alight Rashad Staggie, a notorious Cape Flats drug dealer. PAGAD felt that the police were not doing enough to stop drug related crimes in their communities and decided to take matters into their own hands.</p>
<p>Shots were fired at a group of Muslim men who converged on the Staggie residence and some of the vigilantes were wounded. Staggie tried to escape by car, but was prevented from doing so. He was shot and someone threw a firebomb at him and he burst into flames. Police officers doused the fire, but several masked men fired further shots and finally killed Staggie in a widely televised drama. Benny Gool, a photographer at the scene, captured the killing on film and had to go into hiding for fear of attacks from PAGAD. He was also not prepared to turn his footage over to the police. Rashied Staggie, the brother of the executed drug dealer, fled to a safer location, but swore revenge at his brother&#8217;s funeral.</p>
<p>It is estimated that PAGAD has several hundred members with G-Force probably consisting of less than 50 people. There are allegations that it has relationships with Middle Eastern fundamentalist groups, as well as with Osama bin Laden.</p>
<p>In 1998 the South African Police launched Operation Saladin, a campaign to curb the rampant vigilantism PAGAD was practicing. Two policemen laid charges of intimidation after they allegedly received death threats as a result of the operation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium">The only thing that deeply scares the Zionist Occupied Government enemy regime more than the proletarian shouts of &#8220;White Power!&#8221; as bullets fly through the streets is the monotheistic affirmation by a heroic and Jihadic Mujahid of &#8220;Allahu Akbar!&#8221; Hence any conscious European-American, including the Christians, must uphold and understand the need for critical unity against the common hated enemy of humanity &#8211; the Jews &#8211; and against the extermination of either of our peoples.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium"><br />
I speak here of White Power, not so much as a chauvinistic, divisive, and predatory project aligned with imperialism, but an all-encompassing civilizational project belonging to the popular classes of European-Americans stemming from their deep brokenness and desire for self-determination, one constituting the path and national constants by which any of our revolutionary patriots must travel if seeking to place our people on the solid footings of the resistance option. </span></p>
<div><span style="font-size: medium">The Arab brother or sister in his or her psychology does not recognize the existence of race, genetics, and bloodline in the formation of national identity today, but what they must understand is that our people&#8217;s racialism in their nationalism, like that of Garveyism amongst the Africans, is a progressive racialism that simply demonstrates the incompatibility of linear universal definitions of a nation. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium">Michel Aflaq, even during his Christian years, demonstrated persuasively the centrality of Islam in the make up of Arabism and the formation and expansion of the Arab nation, and hence developing a three-dimensional view of the Arab nation and bonds of the Ummah stemming from the progressive formation of the Caliphate, including its positive effects on Christians and other non-Muslims. This too is a serious error according to dogmatic Western Marxists and cosmopolitan leftists. Hence, we need to speak of the need for the self-determination of peoples, rather than pretending such peoples formed along five common points, and build real true fighting solidarity with one another. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium">While the Arab and Muslim will launch the immediate complaint about &#8220;racism,&#8221; and I do not dispute that our people are full of reactionary and chauvinistic social roles, I plead for them to understand that our people are consistently fed by the Jews and cosmopolitan leftists illusions that they are the only nationality in world history to have developed an advanced civilization that lacks a right to self-determination and must suffer and die needlessly. This brainwashing comes as a total assault on the dignity of our people and a direct provocation to push our people towards the camp of conservative and reactionary forces. The problem is intensified by the lack any real significant revolutionary anti-imperialist project capable of correcting our people&#8217;s reactionary social roles and ideas, and also capable of demonstrating a love for a our people, a truly proletariat platform, and the demonstrated ability to seize power. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium">You Arabs have your qualms with the Iranian Safawid for having overstepped their borders and for having decided to play an opportunist role against the Jihad of beloved Iraq and fellow Islamic brother Afghanistan (and who is frankly for us our Aryan cousin!), but you never put into question that there is an Iranian people or contend that Iranian people should be exterminated rather than simply have their hegemony fought and self-determination exercised solely in their natural borders. Indeed, most peoples have had problems with their neighbors over the years. This is true also of the Turks, and indeed only filth of the Zionist entity is treated to the scorn of unconditional non-recognition, and this for the very survival and unification of your nation and the liberation of al-Quds. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium">For us the problem is greater. First, there is the very real attempt by the Jews and their lackeys on the Western &#8220;left&#8221; to foment hatred by the world&#8217;s people for the White race and the European-American in particular. They claim such attempts at forming anti-White hatred and White self-hatred are not an deliberate platform of promoting globalism, but supposedly because of an eternal grudge because of the policies of colonialism and imperialism. The super-majority of our popular class had absolutely no control over these polices. Indeed, many occurred so many centuries before the birth of anyone living today that it would be idiotic to assign blame to anyone.</p>
<p>The European-Americans, like many peoples today, and indeed much of the White race, at least throughout much of Western Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand plays a largely reactionary and unbearable social role, but this does not deny a very real and ancient Jewish conspiracy to either subjugate or destroy us alongside many other brotherly national, racial, and spiritual groups.</p>
<p></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium">The Zionist assaults center on 1948 Palestine and on affirming the Arab character, but on a global and historical level it does NOT end there, and it didn&#8217;t begin there either.<br />
Just to read the Old Testament, the Jews have been committing genocide since their very inception, and according to the Babylonian Talmud they want to exterminate Christians, believe Jesus of is boiling in semen, and wish to rule over the goyim. One may note correctly that today&#8217;s Jews are the descendants of the Khazar Kingdom and not the people of the Old Testament, but what is significant is that such people subjectively identify by this vulgarity and base their &#8220;spirituality&#8221; and supposed &#8220;national&#8221; mythos around it. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium">Today the Jews who for centuries persecuted Christians and were justly crushed and regularly defeated and exiled have turned the Western Church in a brothel of cannibalism, that is to say a Synagogue of Christ-killers and national nihilist speculators in the name of the Jesus they martyred. Martin Luther&#8217;s wise instructions calling on Christians to exile Jews, burn down their synagogues, business and homes, and even kill them if necessary have been ignored and covered up with disastrous consequences for the popular masses of the world. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium">Now Islam stands beside nationalism in a war of attrition against a globalist enemy led by Jews and Zionist America. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium">While I espouse socialism and even communism, I cannot in good conscience and without feeling like a traitor to my people and the revolution, but denounce the Western &#8220;Left&#8221; and most &#8220;socialists and communists&#8221; for their cosmopolitanism and opportunism.</p>
<p>The right-wing anti-Zionists and White Nationalist camp have HUGE flaws at times. Some are so stupid they think the real enemy are African-Americans who seek self-determination or that we should support Z.O.G. soldiers killing freedom fighter who are resisting a common enemy.<br />
This, however, is not the case for all White Nationalists and &#8220;patriotic&#8221; forces who if not White Nationalist in name are in content. Some groups cheered the September 11th attacks. Some groups reject the Zionist entity&#8217;s right to exist. Some even support attacks on US troops and know that this whole thing is going to come down to needing the maximum amount of unity possible to bring down the Jews and American regime and that we need each other.</p>
<p></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium">My colleague Kevin Walsh and I who started the European-American Socialist Front (EASPF) have such lines and openly support national liberation struggles, the socialist bloc, and advocate self-determination for the Black and White nations alike in the present day United States. When we interact with the European-American streets and White nationalism as a whole, we are finding little pockets here or there that may not get published or openly noticed, but who understand that the paleo-conservativism of the old school White Nationalism isn&#8217;t going to cut it, and are beginning to see the need for patriots of all over the world to have international solidarity with each other against a common enemy. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium">Likewise one can think of a million Arabs, Muslims, and groups and people from traditionally Islamic countries who are traitors, opportunists, or if genuine are retarded, sectarian, or foolish. That doesn&#8217;t mean we should dump the whole of Arabia and the Ummah down the drain. It means that ALL people have to undergo ideological struggle to build and maintain the resistance option. My people have a lot to learn, but we also have a lot to offer. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium">We have so many elements who worship the system and are slaves to the Jews, but like the Islamic psychology we value martyrdom amongst our &#8220;fringe&#8221; elements. Look at the number of domestic bombings and internal military attacks (i.e. Timothy McVeigh and &#8220;The Order&#8221;) against the system as well as the amount of presidential and other political assassinations my people have achieved. Just this week a young European-American appears to have wanted to assassinate Barack Obama, and contrary to the liberal politically correct Zionist distortions that this is just racism, the brother supposedly joked or taunted about getting Bush the little or how someone should get him.<br />
It&#8217;s just simply that we are in the center of imperialism. People who deep down hope Iraq kicks Z.O.G. America&#8217;s ass aren&#8217;t going to often say so. Furthermore, lots and lots of my people alongside African-Americans and others would be willing to take on an enemy if they believed in the probability of victory. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium">It&#8217;s OUR job build the path of hope, to build the united front. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium">Now is not the time for splitting hairs. We don&#8217;t have to all agree. A racialist pagan and a racial nihilist Salafi jihadi may not share much in common on a day to day level, but if they both hate the Jews and the American government, if they both understand the need for collective action to ensure the destiny and greatness of one&#8217;s own nationality and the stability and prosperity of the world, then WE HAVE THE MAKINGS FOR A UNITED FRONT AGAINST THE JEWS AND THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium">Let us march in solidarity, in the spirit of love we each feel for our heritage and people, and in such spirit let us unite to destroy the common hated enemies of us all!</span></div>

<p>The war in Afghanistan turned 8 years old on October 7<sup>th</sup>, 2009. The War in Afghanistan has carried on longer than the Second World War…<br />
Longer than the First World War…<br />
Longer than the American Civil War …</p>
<p>When you talk to a person in the United States or Canada about the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan, many are unaware that the conflict persists to this day (in fact, it is e<img class="alignright" style="margin: 10px;" src="http://isiria.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/afghan-war1.jpg?w=300&amp;h=225" alt="" width="300" height="225" />scalating). Despite the recent escalations in Afghanistan, most pay the conflict absolutely no mind in their day-to-day affairs. Why would they? But the Afghan resistance continues, in the face of a foe that is better armed, funded and supplied than the insurgency. In the face of this resistance, successive administrations of NATO commanders continue to give the same message on Afghanistan: “We cannot win”.</p>
<p>So, how is it that the some of the poorest people on the planet earth are holding their own, and continuing to give NATO forces in Afghanistan an ongoing fight and mounting casualties? More importantly why do the people of Afghanistan continue to resist?</p>
<p><strong>Afghanistan: A Brief History</strong><br />
Afghanistan is, if nothing else, a historical example of iron resistance to invasion.<br />
Alexander the Great, the Mongol Khans, the Persians, the British Empire, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics…no great power has been able to conclusively conquer Afghanistan or hold it indefinitely, no matter what the brutality towards the Afghan peoples inhabiting the region or the cost in human life. Every empire that has ever invaded Afghanistan has subsequently collapsed.</p>
<p>The following account could have just as easily been written after the American conquest of Afghanistan in 2001, but it is an analysis of the British conquest of Afghanistan in 1839 (my emphasis added):<br />
“The conquest of Afghanistan seemed accomplished, and a considerable portion of the troops was sent back. But the Afghans were noways content to be ruled by the Feringhee Kaffirs (European infidels), and during the whole of 1840 and ’41, insurrection followed on insurrection in every part of the country. The Anglo-Indian troops had to be constantly on the move. Yet, McNaghten declared this to be the normal state of Afghan society, and wrote home that every thing went on well, and Shah Soojah’s power was taking root. In vain were the warnings of the military officers and the other political agents….every insurrection during the summer of ’41 was successfully repressed, and toward October, McNaghten, nominated governor of Bombay, intended leaving with another body of troops for India. But then the storm broke out. The occupation of Afghanistan cost the Indian treasury £1,250,000 per annum: 16,000 troops, Anglo-Indian, and Shah Soojah’s, had to be paid in Afghanistan; 3,000 more lay in Sinde, and the Bolan Pass; Shah Soojah’s regal splendours, the salaries of his functionaries, and all expenses of his court and government, were paid by the Indian treasury, and finally, the Afghan chiefs were subsidized, or rather bribed, fro<img class="alignleft" style="margin: 10px;" src="http://isiria.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/afghan-war-3.jpg?w=323&amp;h=242" alt="" width="323" height="242" />m the same source, in order to keep them out of mischief. McNaghten was informed of the impossibility of going on at this rate of spending money. He attempted retrenchment, but the only possible way to enforce it was to cut down the allowances of the chiefs. The very day he attempted this, the chiefs formed a conspiracy for the extermination of the British, and thus McNaghten himself was the means of bringing about the concentration of those insurrectionary forces, which hitherto had struggled against the invaders singly, and without unity or concert; though it is certain, too, that by this time the hatred of British dominion among the Afghans had reached the highest point.”<br />
-<em>Friederich Engels, Afghanistan, 1857</em></p>
<p>While the British occupiers grew complacent in their conquest of Afghanistan, resistance erupted. Engels continues:</p>
<p>“ Nov. 2, 1841, the insurrection broke out. The house of Alexander Burnes, in the city, was attacked and he himself murdered. The British general did nothing, and the insurrection grew strong by impunity…. A few companies were sent against the thousands of insurgents, and of course were beaten. This still more emboldened the Afghans. Nov. 3, the forts close to the camp were occupied. On the 9th, the commissariat fort (garrisoned by only 80 men) was taken by the Afghans, and the British were thus reduced to starvation…In fact, by the middle of November, his irresolution and incapacity had so demoralised the troops that neither Europeans nor Sepoys were any longer fit to meet the Afghans in the open field. Then the negotiations began. During these, McNaghten was murdered in a conference with Afghan chiefs. Snow began to cover the ground, provisions were scarce. At last, Jan. 1, a capitulation was concluded. All the money, £190,000, was to be handed over to the Afghans, and bills signed for £140,000 more. All the artillery and ammunition, except 6 six-pounders and 3 mountain guns, were to remain. All Afghanistan was to be evacuated. The chiefs, on the other hand, promised a safe conduct, provisions, and baggage cattle.”<br />
-<em>Friederich Engels, Afghanistan, 1857</em><img class="alignleft" style="margin: 10px;" src="http://racismandnationalconsciousnessnews.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/american-genocide.jpg?w=305&amp;h=475&amp;h=401" alt="" width="305" height="401" /></p>
<p>The British adventure in Afghanistan ended with the withdrawal of British troops and thousands of British soldiers dead with a disproportionately larger amount of the people of Afghanistan killed in the process. The later Soviet adventure in Afghanistan ended under similar terms. The mass resistance to occupation was enough to drive out even the most technologically superior foe. After the withdrawal of the Soviet Union, the period of Taliban rule began, which leads us to the current occupation which began in 2001.</p>
<p><strong>“Cartoon” Muslims and Chauvinistic Orientalism</strong></p>
<p>“These are detestable murderers and scumbags, I’ll tell you that right up front. They detest our freedoms, they detest our society, they detest our liberties.”<br />
- Canadian Chief of Defense staff, General Rick Hillier.</p>
<p>The ongoing resistance in Afghanistan is written off by Western audiences as savage and the ongoing resistance to occupation is seen as a malevolent force that would just as surely wage a military strike on the United States itself, as well as allied countries, if ever given the chance.<br />
The fighters in Afghanistan are seen literally by many Western observers as being in league with the infamous 9/11 hijackers. Of course, none of the 19 alleged hijackers were from Afghanistan (15 from Saudi Arabia, 2 from the United Arab emirates, 1 from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon), but nonetheless the parallel is drawn.<br />
For this reason, as with resistance/national liberation fighters all over the Middle East, the Afghan resistance fighters are portrayed as two-dimensional cartoon villains, motivated purely by irrational religious fundamentalism. Of course, it is true to an extent that all political movements in contemporary Afghanistan (including the Karzai puppet regime) claim allegiance to Islam, as the majority of the population does.</p>
<p>The dehumanizing portrayal of all Afghan resistance fighters as bloodthirsty religious zealots—note that in most narratives, it is the occupied people of Afghanistan who are portrayed as the aggressors—coupled with “War on Terror” pop-Islamic theology, where the smug premise is given that the unwashed Muslim peoples of the world want nothing more than to end their own life and others in order to receive a celestial gift of paradise and virgins in the afterlife, has given rise to massive national-chauvinism and racism.</p>
<p>While Islam does perhaps have cases of condoning martyrdom, one must also remember that so do Christianity and Judaism, the other major Abrahamic faiths. The allegations of Islamic scriptural basis for the war in Afghanistan are flimsy, as it contrasts sharply with not only the long history of coexistence (including intermarriage) among Muslims and non-Muslim neighboring peoples around the world, but also contrasts with some of the teachings of Islam itself.<br />
From the Quran:<br />
“Be good to . . . the neighbor belonging to your people and the alien neighbor.” (4:36)<br />
“Allah does not forbid you concerning those people who do not fight you because of your religion, nor expel you from your homes, that you show them kindness and deal with them justly.. . . Allah forbids you only concerning those people who fight you for your religion, and drive you from your homes and help others to expel you, that you make friends of them.” (60: 8,9)<br />
<img class="alignleft" style="margin: 10px;" src="http://isiria.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/afghanistan-war-2.jpg?w=348&amp;h=232" alt="" width="348" height="232" />“And you will always find treachery in them, except a few of them. So pardon them and forgive. Surely Allah loves those who do good to others.” (5:13)</p>
<p>These are words of peace and coexistence, taken from the same scriptures as those alleged to incite suicide bombings. It becomes clear at this war being waged in Afghanistan, and other wars waged in other parts of the Middle East against occupation, while they may assume Islam as their vehicle just as most Western conflicts acquired a basis in Christianity, it is not the Islamic faith that is the driving force behind their armed defiance. The actual reasons for their armed resistance are very worldly, very material and tangible—the continuation of capitalism and imperialism.</p>

<p><span><span><span><span style="font-size: medium">In the face of a conspiracy for genocide and the humiliation of the White proletariat, simply proclaiming your White identity in the US today, while not the revolution itself, is a revolutionary and defiant act, and a necessary condition for socialist construction. It is a will to live. My organization, the European-American Socialist People&#8217;s Front, calls for a patriotic front which closes ranks with our people and nurtures their resolve, while struggling among them for a correct line that brings forth the resistance option: White Power in form, national democratic and communist in content.</span></span></span></span></p>
<p>Within the context of our European-American nation, the redneck is not without a great many self-defeating flaws, namely vulgar anti-intellectualism, a lack of scientific class consciousness and geo-political international understanding and a fully distorted view of the nature of true patriotism, but the proletarian redneck remains the heartbeat of our people. The redneck is more than an impoverished but proudly self-reliant Southerner dawning mossy oak long after deer hunting is out of season or a Midwestern farm boy in a long sleeve flannel shirt and blue jeans whose reality is corn and football, but the best organic project the popular classes of our people have against assimilation, liberalism and a world that despises us as “backwards White trash” and wants to eventually kill us after it is done forceably ducking our heads in a mud puddle. In a broad sense these cosmopolitan times treat all of us like we are rednecks, “White Supremacists” or “White trash” whether we work in an office or a foundry, whether we hail from New Jersey or Oklahoma, South Carolina or Washington if our completely natural and healthy desire to preserve and enrich our ethnic character becomes too visible. Any White European-American who thinks and feels White, who wants to stay White and a build a future for White children, and wants to define and come to grips with our reality on our own Eurocentric terms receives the haughty mockery and disdain directed towards the redneck today. For that reason, the Confederate Battle Flag, a symbol hated and feared by anti-White cosmopolitans, belongs to all of us and is more than a symbol of regionalism today. Our motto: This multicultural politically correct Kosher world can kiss our collective White ass!</p>
<p>While I am not without a great deal of criticism of my current experiences in the rural South, one of the things that truly delights me is that to a certain degree, White people still are White. Jews, Hollyweird, liberal cosmopolitanism, and corporate globalism still stands out as alien foreign elements, despite the idiotic hours our people spend in front of their big screen Talmudic televisions wasting their lives away on football when they should be preparing for a guerrilla war. We define what it means to be attractive according to our own standards. A beautiful lady is a lady that reminds you of your mother and sisters or the neighbor lady or school teacher you had a crush on as a small child, not a bimbo celebrity dancing around to hip hop. Keep in mind, if Marilyn Monroe were born today she would be too fat and earthy for the mega sex symbol which has come to traumatize both White and non-White girls alike. Judaized Whites could never understand how gorgeous and divinely feminine Patsy Cline was or appreciate our tens of millions like her today, women who now think they‘re naturally ugly and starve themselves while being doused in Jewish whore paint to avoid being paralyzed as they walk out the front door. David Lane taught us to admire the aesthetic beauty of the White woman so much that we are willing to go hog wild as we kill and die for it. In such a spirit, a fight has to go on today for just what White masculinity and femininity means according to our own terms.</p>
<p>That said, being close to the enemy has its good points and far away its bad points. A genuinely White person in New York and California knows exactly what it means living under the tyranny of Jewish domination when Shylock shorts you on your paycheck. Experience teaches them that multiculturalism means having to get up in the morning and beat the holy hell out of immigrants and lumpen gang bangers who want to rape or rob you on your way to work as the government’s goons turn their eyes the other way. One doesn’t see the gigantic shrines of Jewdom and corporatism in healthy towns of the rural areas and traditional states. The enemy that wants to exterminate us and controls every aspect of our lives today seems more abstract. It seems easier to focus on local short term realities and hate the degenerate lumpens from below who rob our paycheck while ignoring the far bigger monster which constitutes the true power structure.</p>
<p>We need to quickly turn what is left of White reality into base areas, and dynamically redouble our commitment to on-the-ground organizing. That means starting off with a fishing trip, a couple of beers or coffee with family and friends or a simple chat in the break room at work. Yet it needs to be more than that, much more. We’re making up for decades of lost time today, and the enemy definitely controls the momentum. We need a revolution, and while the material conditions on the ground are in our favor, both time and the ideological and military preparedness of our people are greatly working against us.</p>
<p>We need to stay White by being White culturally and spiritually, but let us not abandon our scientific class analysis nor ever forget that we’re going to have to strap bombs around ourselves the way Palestinians do before it gets better rather than worse. After that we intensify the class struggle towards socialism, but not before. You can’t build White European-American socialism without White European-American people when they no longer exist. I guess you could say that we need redneck Maoism.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.ahmadinejad.ir/en/">From the Official Blog of President of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. </a></p>
<p>In the Name of Almighty God, the All-Knowing, the Most Lovingly Compassionate</p>
<p>One&#8217;s perspective regarding government and governance determines the way one ‎should cooperate with the people.   If one recognizes government as a privilege and prey ‎of the governors, then the period of governance can be counted as an opportunity to fulfill ‎the expectations of certain individuals and groups or the ostentation and hedonism of the ‎governors.‎</p>
<p>But if in our view, &#8220;government&#8221; would be a responsibility before God for ‎establishing justice and a duty to ensure the rights of common people, serving the ‎servants of God and helping the oppressed- then the most important issue will be the ‎people&#8217;s concerns.  If this is the case, governors would not view themselves as better than ‎other people and they wouldn&#8217;t put themselves in any other position except serving the ‎people.  ‎</p>
<p>Based upon this view point, the ultimate goal is to achieve God&#8217;s approval and ‎satisfaction in the way of serving His servants, implementing justice and expanding ‎spirituality. This goal cannot be achieved unless fully devoting yourself to Almighty God, ‎and thus even sacrificing your life and reputation for its achievement becomes sweet.  ‎With this type of reasoning, the happiness of an orphan who has achieved his right is ‎preferable to the satisfaction of oppressive and voracious politicians. And the ‎appreciation of an oppressed woman- who is emancipated from the oppression- is much ‎more valuable than hundreds of official and international medals and awards. ‎</p>
<p>The political system of the Islamic Republic of Iran is based on this viewpoint.  ‎The governmental framework and the job description of the rulers is derived from the ‎Islamic holy sources and texts, which are which are the best guidelines for good ‎governance and honest service.  ‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>Last night-while I was spending time with my family-I had the opportunity to ‎review the noble book- Nahjul Balagha &#8211; one of our most valuable religious texts. ‎Naturally- as someone who bears the heaviest executive responsibility of the country for ‎sometime now &#8211; I preferred to use that opportunity and again study with my wife and ‎children, the letter of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) to his governor Maalik al-Ashtar, in ‎which he (pbuh) elaborates the right procedure of ruling and governance.  Certainly, that ‎which is in this letter- the 53rd letter in this noble book – is undoubtedly the greatest ‎management charter of Islamic government. ‎</p>
<p>I present here some sections of this valuable text which were attention-grabbing to ‎me.  I invite everyone -especially my dear colleagues in the government- to again refer to ‎Nahjul Balagha and study the Imam&#8217;s (pbuh) orders to Maalik al-Ashtar and to try to, ‎more-and-more, adjust your daily activities and operations with the Imam&#8217;s (pbuh) ‎instructions. ‎</p>
<p>However, we must say that we are very far away from what Imam Ali (pbuh) has ‎asked us to do, but we can and must strive to fully comply with his orders.    ‎</p>
<p>‎[Excerpts from Nahjul Balagha:]‎</p>
<p>Maalik! You must create in your mind kindness, compassion and love for your ‎subjects. Do not behave towards them as if you are a voracious and ravenous ‎beast and as if your success lies in devouring them.‎</p>
<p>Remember Maalik that amongst your subjects there are two kinds of people: ‎those who have the same religion as you have; they are brothers to you, and ‎those who have religions other than yours, they are human beings like you. Men ‎of either category suffer from the same weaknesses and disabilities that human ‎beings are inclined to, they commit sins, indulge in vices either intentionally or ‎unintentionally and mistakenly without realizing the enormity of their deeds. Let ‎your mercy and compassion come to their rescue and help in the same way and ‎to the same extent that you expect Allah to show mercy and forgiveness to you. ‎You must never forget that if you are a ruler over them, than your wali [Imam Ali ‎‎(pbuh) is referring to himself] is the ruler over you and Allah is the Supreme Lord ‎over the wali. And the reality is that He has appointed you as the governor and ‎tested you through the responsibility of this rule [that He has given you] over ‎them. ‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>And you should never be remorseful if you forgive. And do not be pleased and ‎proud of your punishment. Do not get angry and lose your temper quickly over ‎the mistakes and failures of those over whom you rule. On the contrary, be ‎patient and sympathetic with them. Anger and desire of vengeance are not going ‎to be of much help to you in your administration.‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>If you ever feel any pride or vanity on account of your rule over your subjects ‎then think of the Supreme Rule of the Lord over the Universe, the extent of His ‎creations, the supremacy of His Might and Glory, His Power to do things which ‎you cannot even dream of doing and His control over you which is more ‎dominating than that which you can ever achieve over anything around you. ‎Such thoughts will cure your mental weakness, will keep you away from vanity ‎and rebellion (against Allah), will reduce your arrogance and haughtiness and will ‎take you back to the sanity which you had foolishly deserted.‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>So far as your own affairs or those of your relatives and friends are concerned ‎take care that you do not violate the duties laid down upon you by Allah and do ‎not usurp the rights of mankind, be impartial and do justice to them, because if ‎you give up equity and justice, then you will certainly be a tyrant and an ‎oppressor. And whoever tyrannizes and oppresses the creatures of Allah, will ‎earn enmity of Allah along with the hatred of those whom he has oppressed and ‎whoever earns the Wrath of Allah loses all chances of salvation and he has no ‎excuse to offer on the Day of Judgment. Every tyrant and oppressor is an enemy ‎of Allah unless he repents and gives up oppression. Remember Maalik, that ‎there is nothing in this world more effective to turn His Blessings into His Wrath ‎than to insist upon oppression over His creatures because the Merciful Allah will ‎always hear the prayers of those who have been oppressed and He will give no ‎chance to oppressors.‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>You must always appreciate and adopt a policy which is neither too severe nor ‎too lenient; a policy which is based upon equity will be largely appreciated. ‎Remember that the displeasure of common men, the have-nots and the ‎depressed persons lays heavier in the balance than the approval of important ‎persons, while the displeasure of a few big people will be excused by the Lord if ‎the general public and the masses of your subjects are happy with you. ‎</p>
<p>Remember Maalik, that these personages are the people who will be the worst ‎drag upon you during your moments of peace and happiness, and the least ‎useful to you during your hours of need and adversity, they hate justice the most, ‎they will keep on demanding more and more out of the State resources and will ‎seldom be satisfied with what they receive and will never be obliged for the favor ‎shown to them if their demands are justifiable refused, they will never accept any ‎reasonable excuse or any rational argument and when the time changes, you will ‎never find them staunch, faithful and loyal. ‎</p>
<p>While the common men, the poor and apparently less important section of your ‎subjects are the pillars of Islam, they are the real congregation of Muslims and ‎the power and defensive force against the enemies of Islam. Keep your mind on ‎their affairs, be more friendly with them and secure their trust and goodwill.‎</p>
<p>‎* * *‎</p>
<p>But be careful in forming your contacts (whether with the important persons or ‎the commoners). Keep such people away from you and think them to be the ‎enemy of the State who are scandal-mongers and who try to find fault with others ‎and carry on propaganda against them because everywhere people have ‎weaknesses and failings and it is the duty of the government to overlook (minor) ‎shortcomings. You must not try to go in search of those weaknesses which are ‎hidden from you, leave them to Allah, and about those weaknesses which come ‎to your notice, you must try to teach them how to overcome them. Try not to ‎expose the weaknesses of the people and Allah will conceal your own ‎weaknesses which you do not want anybody to know.‎</p>
<p>Do not give cause to the people to envy each other [man against man, tribe ‎against tribe or one section of the society against the other]. Try to alleviate and ‎root out mutual distrust and enmity from amongst your subjects.‎</p>
<p>Be fair, impartial and just in your dealings with all, individually and collectively ‎and be careful not to make your person, position and favors act as sources of ‎malice. Do not let any such thing or such person come near to you who does not ‎deserve your nearness and your favor. Never lower your dignity and prestige.‎</p>
<p>Remember that backbiters and scandal-mongers belong to a mean and cunning ‎group, though they pretend to be sincere advisers. Do not make haste to believe ‎the news they bring and do not heed to their advice.‎</p>
<p>Do not accept the advice of bakheel [bakheel is a person who is not only very ‎stingy with his own money, but has an envious character and does not like others ‎to contribute anything of theirs to other people]. They will try their best to keep ‎you away from acts of kindness and from doing good to others. They will make ‎you frightened of poverty.‎</p>
<p>Similarly do not allow cowards to act as your advisers because they will make ‎you timid in enforcing your orders, will scare you from handling important affairs ‎boldly and will make your enterprises and invasions timid and fearful attempts. At ‎the same time avoid greedy and covetous persons who would aspire to the ‎position of acting as your counselor because he will teach you how to exploit the ‎community and how to oppress people to get their wealth. Remember that ‎miserliness, cowardice and greed appear to be different wicked qualities but they ‎all arise from the same evil mentality of having no faith and no trust in Allah.‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>Your worst ministers will be the men who had been ministers to the despotic ‎rulers before you and who had been a party of atrocities committed by them. ‎Such persons should not be taken into your confidence and should not be trusted ‎because they have aided sinners and have assisted tyrants and cruel rulers.‎</p>
<p>In their stead you can comfortably find persons who are equally wise and learned ‎but who have not developed sinful and criminal mentalities, who have neither ‎helped the tyrants in their tyrannies nor have they assisted them to carry on their ‎sinful deeds.‎</p>
<p>Such persons will prove the least troublesome to you. They will be the most ‎helpful. They will sincerely sympathize with you. If you take them in your ‎confidence they will sever their connections with your opponents. Keep such ‎people with you as your companions in your informal company as well as in ‎official gatherings in audience. From amongst such honest and humane ‎companions and ministers some would receive your fullest confidence and trust. ‎They are those who can always speak out the bitter truth to you and ‎unreservedly and without fear of your status, can refuse to assist you or ‎associate with you in the deeds which Allah does not like His good creatures to ‎commit.‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>Select honest, truthful and pious people as your companions. Train them not to ‎flatter you and not to seek your favor by false praises because flattery and false ‎praises create vanity and conceit and they make a man lose sight of his real self ‎and ignore his duties.‎</p>
<p>You should not treat good and bad people alike because in this way you will be ‎discouraging good persons and at the same time emboldening the wicked to ‎carry on their wickedness. Everyone should receive the treatment which his ‎deeds make him deserve.‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>Have a lot of dialogues with aalims [learned scholars] and a lot of discussions ‎with hukama [wise persons who are truth-seekers and thinkers] because these ‎‎[dialogues and discussions] would initiate and stabilize prosperity and ‎improvement for the country. And also restore law and order which existed in the ‎past. ‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>You must know Maalik that the people over whom you rule are divided into ‎classes and grades and the prosperity and welfare of each class of the society ‎individually and collectively are so interdependent upon the well-being of the ‎other classes that the whole set-up represents a closely woven and reciprocal ‎net. One class cannot exist peacefully, cannot live happily and cannot work ‎without the support and good wishes of the other. ‎</p>
<p>Amongst them are God&#8217;s faithful soldiers who defend His cause, the next class is ‎that of the secretaries of the State to whom duties of writing out and issuing ‎special or general orders are assigned, the third group is that of the judges and ‎magistrates to administer justice, the fourth is of officers who maintain law and ‎order and guard the peace and prosperity of the country. Then there are common ‎men, the Muslims who pay the taxes levied by the government, and non-Muslims ‎who pay the taxes levied by the government, and non-Muslims who pay tribute to ‎the State (in lieu of taxes). Then comes the class of men who carry on various ‎professions and trades and the last but not the least are the poor and the have-‎nots who are considered as the lowest class of the society. The Merciful Allah ‎has fixed the rights and duties of each one of them. They have been either ‎mentioned in His Book or explained through the instructions of the Holy Prophet ‎‎(pbuh). A complete code of them is preserved with us.‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>Then there is the class of the poor and the disabled persons. It is absolutely ‎necessary that they should be looked after, helped and well-provided for. The ‎Merciful Allah has explained the ways and means of maintaining and providing ‎for each of these classes. And everyone of this class has the right upon the ruler ‎of the State that the minimum necessities for its well-being and contented living ‎are provided for.‎</p>
<p>Remember, Maalik that Almighty Allah will not absolve any ruler from his ‎obligations unless he sincerely tries his best to discharge his duties, invokes ‎Allah to help him in their performance, remains steadfast and diligent on the path ‎of truth and justice and bears all this whether the performance of these duties is ‎congenial or hateful to him.‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>Protect your government from dishonest officers. If you find any of them ‎dishonest and your confidential intelligence service submits acceptable proofs of ‎his dishonesty, then you must punish him. This may be corporal punishment ‎besides dismissal from service and taking back from him all which he has ‎dishonestly collected. He must be humiliated and must be made to realize the ‎infamy of his wicked deeds. His humiliation and punishment must be given ‎publicly so that it may serve as a lesson and a deterrent to others.‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>In reality a state lives upon the revenues collected from the tax-payers. ‎Therefore, more importance should be attached to the fertility of land than to the ‎collection of taxes because actual taxable capacity of people rests upon the ‎fertility of the land. The ruler, who does not pay attention to the prosperity of his ‎subjects and fertility of the land but concentrates only on collection of revenues, ‎lays waste the land and consequently ruins the State and brings destruction to ‎the creatures of Allah. His rule cannot last for long.‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>By Allah, by Allah, I want to caution you about the poor. Fear Allah about their ‎conditions and your attitude towards them. They have no support, no resources ‎and no opportunities. They are poor, they are destitute and many of them are ‎disabled and unfit for work. Some of them come out begging and some (who ‎maintain self-respect) do not beg, but their condition speaks of their distress, ‎poverty, destitution and need. For the sake of Allah, Maalik, protect them and ‎their rights. He has laid the responsibility of this upon your shoulders. You must ‎fix a share for them from Beit-ul Maal (the Government Treasury). Besides this ‎reserve in cash, you must also reserve a share in kind of crops from government ‎granaries in cities where food-grains are stored as are cultivated on State-owned ‎land because in these storages the share of those living far away from any ‎particular city is equal to the share of those living nearby.‎</p>
<p>Let me remind you once again that you are made responsible for guarding the ‎rights of the poor people and for looking after their welfare. Take care that the ‎conceit of your position and vanity of wealth may not deceive you to lose sight of ‎such a grave and important responsibility. Yours is such an important post that ‎you cannot claim immunity from the responsibility of even minor errors of ‎commission or omission with an excuse that you were engrossed in the major ‎problems of the State which you have solved diligently. ‎</p>
<p>Therefore, be very careful of the welfare of the poor people. Do not be arrogant ‎and vain against them. Remember that you have to take particular care of those ‎who cannot reach you, who&#8217;s poverty-stricken and disease-ridden sight may be ‎hateful to you, and whom society treats with disgust, loathing and contempt. You ‎should be a source of comfort, love and respect to them. Appoint a respectable, ‎honest and pious person &#8211; a person who fears Allah and who can treat them ‎honorably, order him to find out everything about them and to submit a report to ‎you. ‎</p>
<p>Then treat these poor people in such a way that on the Day of Judgment you can ‎plead your case successfully before Allah because of all classes of your subjects ‎this class deserves more of your attention, sympathy and fair-deal.‎</p>
<p>Though every one of these poor persons deserves your sympathy and you will ‎have to do justice to His cause to achieve His favor, yet you should pay more ‎attention to young orphans and the old disabled. They neither have any support ‎nor can they conveniently come out begging. They cannot reach you, therefore, ‎you must reach them.‎</p>
<p>Remember that the fulfillment of this obligation and duty is considered as a ‎tiresome burden by most of the rulers but to those who desire to achieve His ‎Blessings and to enter into His Realm, even this work seems light and congenial. ‎They bear it happily, dutifully and sincerely. They find pleasures in it and they ‎believe in the promise made by Allah.‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>Out of your hours of work, fix a time for the complainants and for those who want ‎to approach you with their grievances. During this time you should not do other ‎work but hear them and pay attention to their complaints and grievances. For this ‎purpose you must arrange public audience for them during this audience, for the ‎sake of Allah, treat them with kindness, courtesy and respect. Do not let your ‎army and police be in the audience hall at such times so that those who have ‎grievances against your regime may speak to you freely, unreservedly and ‎without fear.‎</p>
<p>All this is a necessary factor of your rule because I have often heard the Holy ‎Prophet (pbuh) saying, &#8220;The nation, where that rights of the oppressed, destitute ‎and down-trodden are not guarded and where the mighty and powerful persons ‎are not forced to accede these rights, cannot achieve salvation&#8221;. You must ‎remember that in those audiences the most common men will gather. Therefore, ‎if you find them misbehaving, becoming unmannerly or if you feel that their talk is ‎irrelevant, tolerate them; do not be rude and do not insult them, so that Allah may ‎be kind and merciful to you and may reward you for obeying His commands ‎explicitly. Treat them courteously, hear their grievances patiently and if you are ‎forced to reject their demands then reject them in such a way that your rejection ‎may please them as much as your grants.‎</p>
<p>‏****‏</p>
<p>Then there are certain duties which only you will have to perform and which none ‎of your officers can carry out. Among them are replies to the letters of your ‎commissioners and governors and they are beyond the jurisdiction or preview of ‎your secretaries. If you find that your officers are not attending as much to the ‎complaints of the public as they should, then you should personally attend to ‎them.‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>You must finish a day&#8217;s work on that day only because each day will bring its own ‎special work for you. Reserve your best time for prayers to Allah, though every ‎work of the State is the work of Allah, especially, if you are sincere and honest, ‎and if your subjects are happy with your rule and are safe from your oppression.‎</p>
<p>Among those duties that you are to perform diligently must be your daily prayers. ‎These should be offered sincerely and persistently. You must fix times for this ‎during days and nights. You must tax your bodily strength for this duty though it ‎may tire you.‎</p>
<p>‎* * *‎</p>
<p>You must take care not to cut yourself off from the public. Do not place a curtain ‎of false prestige between you and those over whom you rule. Such pretensions ‎and show of pomp and pride are in reality manifestations of inferiority complex ‎and vanity. The result of such an attitude is that you remain ignorant of the ‎conditions of your subjects and of the actual cases of the events occurring in the ‎State.‎</p>
<p>You will fail to realize comparative importance of events taking place and may ‎attach great significance to minor events and may slip over important facts, ‎similarly you may attach importance to mediocre or insignificant people and may ‎ignore real men of consequence; and what is more, you may lose the power of ‎distinction between good and bad and may take one for the other or hopelessly ‎mix up the two.‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>You should never overlook the fact that around the rulers there usually are ‎certain privileged persons (relatives and friends). They may often try to take ‎advantage of their status and may resort to selfishness, intrigues, fraud, ‎corruption and oppression. If you find such people around you then do away with ‎them (however closely connected they may be with you), immediately bring an ‎end to the scandal and clear your surroundings of all such moral and spiritual ‎filth.‎</p>
<p>You must never give lands in permanent lease with all proprietary and ownership ‎rights to your friends and relatives. You must never allow them to take ‎possession of the source of water-supply or lands which have special utility for ‎the communities. If they get possession of such holdings they will oppress others ‎to derive undue benefits and thus gather all the fruits for themselves leaving for ‎you a bad reputation in this world and punishment in the next.‎</p>
<p>Be fair in dispensing justice. Punish those who deserve punishment even though ‎he may be your near relation or a close friend and even if such an action may ‎give you pangs of sorrow and grief. Bear such a sorrow patiently and hope for ‎Divine reward. I assure you this will bear good fruits.‎</p>
<p>If on account of your strict measures people get suspicious of your behaving like ‎a tyrant and oppressor, then come out openly before them and explain to them ‎the reasons of your actions and let them see the facts for themselves and realize ‎the truth. This will give training to your mind, will be an act of kindness to the ‎subjects and the confidence thus reposed in them will make them support justice ‎and truth while you will achieve the end you have in view of obtaining their ‎support in the cause of truth.‎</p>
<p>If your enemy invites you to a peace treaty that will be agreeable to Allah, then ‎never refuse to accept such an offer because peace will bring rest and comfort to ‎your armies, will relieve you of anxieties and worries, and will bring prosperity ‎and affluence to your people. But even after such treaties be very careful of the ‎enemies and do not place too much confidence in their promises because they ‎often resort to peace treaty to deceive and delude you and take advantage of ‎your negligence, carelessness and trust. ‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>At the same time be very careful, never break your promise with your enemy, ‎never forsake the protection or support that you have offered to him, never go ‎back upon your words, and never violate the terms of the treaty. You must even ‎risk your life to fulfill the promises given and the terms settled because of all the ‎obligations laid by Almighty Allah upon man (in respect to other men) there is ‎none so important as to keep one&#8217;s promises when made. ‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>Allah has given promises and treaties the high rank of being messengers of ‎peace and prosperity and through His Kindness and Mercy has made them a ‎common desire (of keeping promises) in the minds of all men and a common ‎requirement for all human beings. He has made them such a shelter and asylum ‎that everybody desires to be under their protection. ‎</p>
<p>Therefore, there should be no mental reservation, no fraud, no deception and no ‎underlying meanings in between the lines when you make a promise or conclude ‎a treaty. Do not use such words and phrases in your promises and treaties as ‎have possibilities of being translated in more than one way or as may have ‎various interpretations and many explanations, let there be no ambiguity in them, ‎and let them be clear, precise and to the point. And when once a treaty has been ‎finally concluded, do not try to take advantage of any ambiguous word or phrase ‎in it. If you find yourself in a critical situation on account of the treaty made in the ‎cause of Allah, then try to face the situation and bear the consequences bravely ‎and do not try to back out of the terms that account, because to face such ‎perplexing situations as may gain His Rewards and Blessings is better than to ‎break your promises on that account and earn that about which you feel nervous ‎and for which you will have to answer Allah and which may bring down His Wrath ‎upon you in this world and damnation in the next.‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>Beware and do not develop the trait of self-admiration and self-appreciation. Do ‎not get conceited of the good points that you find in your good character or good ‎deeds that you have done. Do not let flattery and cajolery make you vain and ‎ego-centric. Remember that of all the cunning ruses of the devil to undo good ‎deeds of the pious people and to affect their piety, flattery and false praises are ‎the ones on which it relies the most.‎</p>
<p>Do not boast of the favors and kindnesses that you have done to your subjects ‎and do not try to make them realize this, do not think too much of the good that ‎you have done to them, and do not go back upon the promises made, all these ‎three habits are very ugly features of one&#8217;s character. The practice of boasting ‎over the favors done undoes the good done, the habit of exaggerating and ‎thinking very highly of our good actions will make us lose the guidance of Allah, ‎and the habit of breaking one&#8217;s promises is disliked both by Allah and by man. ‎The Merciful Allah says, &#8220;It is most hateful in the sight of Allah, to say something ‎and not to practice it.&#8221; [Holy Qur'an, 61:3].‎</p>
<p>Do not be hasty and do not precipitate your decisions and actions, when the time ‎comes for an action to be done, or a decision to be taken, then do not be lazy ‎and do not waste time and do not show weakness. When you do not find a true ‎way to do the thing on hand, then do not persist on the wrong way and when you ‎have found a correct solution, then do not be lethargic in adopting it. ‎</p>
<p>In short do everything at a proper time and in a proper way and keep everything ‎in its proper place.‎</p>
<p>‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏‎ ‎‏*‏</p>
<p>I beseech Allah that by His Limitless Mercy and by His Supreme Might He may ‎grant our prayers, that He may lead both of us to the Divine Guidance of ‎achieving His Pleasure, of successfully pleading our cases before Him, justifying ‎our deeds before man, of gaining good repute, of leaving good results of our ‎benign and just rule with ever-expanding prosperity and ever-increasing welfare ‎of the State and of meeting our ends as martyrs and pious persons, as our return ‎is towards Him only.‎</p>
<p>May the peace of Allah be upon the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and His chosen ‎descendants.‎</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span><span style="font-size: medium">If you ask me if I am a patriot, as a Communist and son of the nation, my obligation and honor would be to affirm a resounding “Yes!” However, telling our people the truth, when they roll around in their own feces and then rejoice of salvation and pride, is my supreme duty both as a patriot and a proletarian internationalist. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">The Zionist-controlled American government is the most evil and reactionary government the modern world has ever seen. In collusion with globalist stooges and petty imperialists, the Jews have demonstrated an evil conspiracy of death and destruction. </span><span style="font-size: medium">Contrary to conventional wisdom, o</span><span style="font-size: medium">ur own people aren’t so far down the totem pole from the Palestinians in this sinister plot for the subjugation of all nations.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">Hence, while our people in the US don’t need to be excessively disparaged and demoralized as done by Western “leftists,” they do play a whole series of reactionary social roles and cling to a whole series of opportunistic self-defeating tenets deeply embedded in their psychology. Getting to the root of this destruction takes precedence above and beyond pragmatism and political expediency. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">The lines of the “left” and right promoted to our people are treasonously criminal and will get us nowhere. Racial and national nihilism, anti-family degeneracy, and anti-moral lines fomented by the “left” on behalf of their Jewish and globalist masters break down the solidarity of our working class, and promote cosmopolitanism, Zionism and imperialism. Likewise, the rightist, “traditionalist,” and so-called “patriotic” crowd’s promotion of so-called “American Nationalism,” this satanic anti-Christian cult of Judeo- “Christianity,” and the spreading of illusions that paleo-conservativism is a viable alternative to neo-conservativism, are all criminal plots leading to the physical extermination of millions upon millions of people.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium"> My organization, the European-American Socialist People’s Front (EASPF), has an extensive amount of material combating the anti-White, philo-Semitic, and cosmopolitan lines of the contemporary “left.” Hence, I wish to  devote this article to combating reactionary ideas and behavior on the Right which stem from our people and are the very heart and soul of our people’s humiliating self-defeat today. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">First, we shall take on the myth that this greedy and bloodthirsty banker’s prison house of nations, America, is any sort of real country and one to which our patriotism should attach itself. Second, we shall analyze the origins and consequences of Judeo-“Christianity,” and demonstrate conclusively that whatever one personally thinks of genuine Christianity, is not a form of Christianity at all, but rather violently contrary to it. Third, we shall analyze the origins and scope of conservativism within the United States, and the relationship between paleo-conservativism which openly promotes US imperialism and neo-conservatism invented by Jewish Trotskites which dominates the leading quarters of imperialism today, to show that while objectively anti-imperialist at times, paleo-conservativism ultimately fails as a program of liberation. We shall throughout this piece demonstrate the role of the Jewish enemy, and the particular conspiracy they hatched long ago to exterminate our people and subjugate all the peoples of the world while destroying their distinct ways of life. Lastly, we shall affirm the call for total war and resistance by our people towards both international solidarity and the formation of the liberated European-American Democratic People’s Republic, one ideally to carry forward with socialist construction. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium"><strong>America is the enemy of our people and the world</strong></span></p>
<p><strong> </strong> <span style="font-size: medium">The now deceased White Separatist guerrilla fighter turned resistance detainee David Lane, whose “14 words” were to become the bedrock of a quasi-national democratic line among White Nationalists, whatever other major differences I have with him, made clear that America is our enemy. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800000;font-size: medium"><span style="color: #800000;font-size: medium">“Determined to destroy the integrity of races, nations and cultures for the Zionist New World Order, The Red, White, and Blue traveling man’s murder machine has been an engine of holocaust, genocide, and death unmatched in human history.</span></span></p>
<p>But still the CRAP wraps logic five times around a crooked tree to proclaim themselves “American Patriots” who support “Our Boys” as they bomb helpless nations into the Stone Age and blow tens of thousands or millions of women and children into tiny fragments. Always looking for someone else to blame, the CRAP screams, it’s the Jews, it’s the Jews. Well I’d be the last to deny that the media is dominated by Jews who have an agenda of world domination and of extinction for White Aryans.” &#8212; Excerpt from “C.R.A.P. Christian Right-wing American Patriots.”</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium"> </span><span style="font-size: medium">Indeed, while we must condemn and oppose the Jews and Zionists, Lane’s self-criticism of our people who come from such quarters is completely on the mark, and in this case he was referring to Christian Right-wing American Patriots as “CRAP”. One could go much further in condemning pro-Americanism from amongst our people, because even the more mediocre trends within our genuinely nationalist and anti-globalist quarters are a tiny fraction of the overall European-American populace. Most of our people have no problem whatever, not only with the mass-murder and subjugation of peoples, with the government and ruling classes who perform such crimes against our people and the world, or even with the Jews. Hence, fierce ideological struggle is the first order of the day. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">The same GI mercenary goons occupying Iraq and Afghanistan, may death and suffering be upon them, are the very army that will be mass-murdering our people in the streets in the event a genuine revolutionary struggle stems from them. Supposedly “anti-government” rednecks and Southern Nationalists usually whine to no end about “terrorism” and “supporting the troops,” and yet were a Confederate Army or any other anti-government formation by our people to be created, this same government would be calling them “terrorists,” and it would be US troops and police who work to destroy them. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">How can this possibly be White Power when the enemy multicultural hellhole bombs hapless Serbia, that is a White Aryan traditionally Christian people and the last truly great European-descended force of resistance, and destroys what was then the last revolutionary unitary project of White Europe, i.e. Yugoslavia? Tomislav Sunic and those like him who invent the existence of a “communist threat” to justify race treason and aiding imperialism in turning brother against brother must rejected. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">Can we really believe the Cold War was a good thing? It was Zionism and Jewish finance capital that acted as the shock force for world imperialism in bringing down the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was no more Jewish and Zionist at that point than a Palestinian human bomb, having long since purged the eternal enemy from Soviet and Eastern European power. Can we really believe pointing missiles and nuclear bombs at our White brothers and sisters in Europe because they liberated themselves from finance capital is a form of solidarity between European-descended peoples of the world? Would our people have benefited from White European-descended peoples dropping nuclear weapons on one another? Can we really believe this was even about communism, and not rather a conspiracy of aggression against our continental mother’s womb, just as this same enemy targeted Germany for annihilation by fire twice and has done to our brothers and sisters throughout Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East? I mean just look today and we see Russia isn’t run by Communists, but yet ZOG America’s ruling classes are still bound and determined to provoke another Cold War, crying to no end against the heroic liberation of brotherly South Ossetia and Abkhazia from ZOG Georgia and placing military instillations all over Europe against Moscow. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">“Supporting our troops” means asking the Jews and globalists to mass-murder and subjugate both the world and ourselves with their lackeys. Every enemy who falls today at the hands of the Mujahadeen in Iraq and Afghanistan is a common victory for the truly patriotic forces from among our people. Let us “support the troops” only when they refuse the orders of the imperialist ZOG regime, march away from Iraq westward towards Tel Aviv, when they switch sides and turn their guns the other way, and particularly when they atone for their crimes by blowing up the Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Otherwise, may death and demise be upon them! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">Equally, anyone carrying a badge is an enemy and deserves to be killed when attacking our people or anyone. You tell me, all you idiots who cry and whine when Blacks taunt and praise the killing of “the pigs” in their songs, who brought down Ruby Ridge and Waco with arms? Who is the armed wing of the Zionist Occupation Government? Who is spying on us, beating and imprisoning demonstrators, and every step of the way works to infiltrate and sabotage any hopes for our national liberation? Snitching and cop-calling are NOT “patriotic;” the pigs are not our friends! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">Of course, I support some Black, Red Indian or Puerto Rican radical that is blowing their brains out. The only question is: WHY AREN’T OUR PEOPLE WILLING TO DO THE EXACT SAME THING WHEN THESE LACKIES OF ZOG COME MARCHING INTO OUR HOMES AND COMMUNITIES HELLBENT ON SUBJUGATING US AND MASS-MURDERING OUR POPULAR CLASSES AND POLITICAL DISSIDENTS?! </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">An example that I always bring up is the case of my colleague Kevin Walsh, who was felonized after having an armed standoff with government agents attempting to unjustly detain him. People reacted to the case as if he were “nuts.” Yet, many would completely support the very same case if he were in some exotic-sounding “Third World” country far removed from their comfort zones. What, we aren’t suppose to defend ourselves with arms when the enemy is trying to destroy us? Is that really so “extreme” or are our sensibilities so self-defeating and extremely brainwashed that we wind up thinking surrender and humiliation are acceptable? </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">Yet, the paradigm goes much deeper than being against the government of America. America itself doesn’t have a legitimate right to exist, is again I repeat, A BANKER’S PRISONHOUSE OF NATIONS AND NOT A NATION IN AND OF ITSELF. It is a project directly aligned with the Zionist entity, one more repressive than any other in modern history that will eventually lead to our extermination. Our nation is NOT America. Our hearts and heritage, raped and ravaged by the Zionist multicultural enemy countless times, must for our survival lie with the continental European mother’s womb of our people. In short, we’re White European-descended Aryans who formed a nationality with a common bloodline, language and heritage who require territorial imperatives for our ethnic survival, but we are NOT Americans. To be more exact, call us European-Americans if so long as in so doing we are defining a Eurocentric people and civilization and not a cosmopolitan anti-national project defined by the Red, White and Jew. Delinking our identity from Europe is a Zionist plot to rob of us of our Aryan soul and identity, and rather promote the existence an illusionary “American race” where the Africans, Red Indians, and others perish beside us on an altar of money-worship. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">America is itself a concept of immigration and therefore anti-national. From the idiocy of our ancestors fleeing the continental mother’s womb instead of working to make their homeland a better place, to bombing and attempting to break down the ethnic character of the peoples of the world who resist globalism, to spreading such destruction against the various peoples residing in the United States who over the course of centuries each developed unique cultures and heritages with the genocidal use of “open borders” today, America is a dance with death. Hence, to be a nationalist, to believe in nationalism, and even to be an internationalist in the correct context, is to be anti-American and is to delink ourselves from America. The only thing that will ever be White and truly Eurocentric about America are the nihilism and rotting corpses of our people. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">American Nationalism is objectively anti-nationalist globalism, for the destruction of the national unit, the great black hole, clearly lacks an ethnic character and patriotic dimension. In practical terms, American Nationalism today is just simply rednecks becoming Jewish and a mass support base for military aggression, globalism and consumerism. Such “nationalism” is our enemy. It cannot logically be construed to mean the patriotic love of our people and working to preserve and enrich what makes us unique. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">It’s not only those followers of Marcus Garvey or Puerto Rican freedom fighters for whom the task of delinking from America stands as a sacred patriotic objective. White Power, when correctly defined, ultimately wants both separation from and death to America. Indeed, “White Power, Death to America!” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">While our people are very different from both the Arabs and the Koreans, and hence have their own particular road to national liberation, the best models existing today, and worthy of careful study, admiration, and solidarity by our people are those of north Korea and the Iraqi Branch of the Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">Both projects, while guided by scientific socialism, took a far more thorough-going analysis of nationalism than pretending it to be something harmful to the unity of the popular classes or international solidarity, both realizing that nations are more than something which arose as product of capitalist development which will or should “whither away” as socialist construction intensifies. Both projects also defend the principle that to be a good internationalist one should first be a good patriot and that the nation alone decides the course of its struggle as masters of one’s own destiny and revolution. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">Equally relevant for us, both projects are guided by a mother party capable of unifying the people though ideological struggle and developing a monolithic and organic ideology in the course of rooting out opportunism and erroneous ideas and behaviors. Like the eventuality of our own struggle against the Jews and American regime, both celebrate the central role of armed struggle and used their unique heritages to build a modern people-first civilizational project. In this regard, one finds leader Kim Jong Il’s </span><a href="http://nacazai.org/3031.pdf"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="color: #0000ff;font-size: medium"><span style="color: #0000ff;font-size: medium"><span>On Correctly Understanding Nationalism</span></span></span></span></a><span style="font-size: medium"><span> and </span></span><a href="http://juche.v.wol.ne.jp/pdf/ekimjongil78e.pdf"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="color: #0000ff;font-size: medium"><span style="color: #0000ff;font-size: medium"><span>On Preserving the Juche Character and National Character of the Revolution and Construction</span></span></span></span></a><span style="font-size: medium"><span> extremely relevant and creatively applicable to our own struggle once liberated from ethnic chauvinism and pro-imperialist illusions.</span></span><span style="font-size: medium"><span>For our people, we call for preserving our ethnic character and heritage without pretending that the platform of the dominant White nationalist paradigm or the old Confederate regime are somehow capable of liberating us. We call for European-American motherland defense equipped with class analysis and a proletarian internationalist outlook as the guiding lens in these Zionized and pro-American times of defeat and despair.</span></span></p>
<p>Our nationalism must be a progressive nationalism, which while working to defend our blood and ethnic character against cosmopolitanism, is ultimately part of the global front to preserve the existence of nations and social liberation of the world’s popular classes in general.</p>
<p><strong>Judeo-“Christianity” is our enemy</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>The historical accuracy of the Bible and the question of the existence of Jesus is not relevant to our struggles today. In practical terms, Christianity is today a two millennia old religious and political force in the world with a large number of adherents. With all due respect to the Pagans and non-religious from among our people, Christianity is simply a reality. While I to detest many of its political uses today and also recognize its origins as something distinctly foreign and Semitic, Christianity is an organic White Eurocentric expression from our people today. It is important, even for those like myself who are atheists, to recognize that Christianity has become a part of our people, and that many true Christians are our comrades today.</p>
<p>Hence, we must always hold a place at the table for all of our Christian brothers and sisters who work for social justice and the advancement and upliftment of our people. In criticizing Judeo-“Christianity,” I do not attack these people or the religion of our ancestors, nor am I attempting to discourage our people from practicing true Christianity. Rather, I attack a political poison masking itself in the image our people, but one that is inherently contrary to their best interests and that cannot be construed as being genuinely “Bible-based” anyways.</p>
<p>One should not be surprised that the Christian Jew was ultimately to submit before the Jewish Jew in the power struggle over domination of finance capital. Talmudism, on both a secular and religious level, being far more handcrafted at the art of subversion and sabotage and the Jews themselves raised in such a manner and spirit, than their Christian counterparts turned lackeys, and logically meaning the domination of Jewish Judaism over “Christian” Judaism. Our Christian population will either find alternative paths ranging from Islam, Buddhism and paganism to simply becoming atheists and agnostics or else they will need to reclaim the revolutionary potential of their creed as many have already done. However, Judeo-“Christianity” is unredeemable and shall be annihilated.</p>
<p>Judeo-“Christianity” presents the false notion that Jewish values are also Christian values and that the Zionist entity is part of the will of God in fulfillment of Biblical prophecy. It is treason to true Christianity, because it perverts Christian values and promotes attacks on real Christians in Palestine and elsewhere in the Arab world. &#8220;Love your neighbor as yourself&#8221; becomes &#8220;defraud and exploit your neighbor and physically attack him if he resists or even objects too much.&#8221; The teachings of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin are far closer to the teachings of Christ than any of this predatory Judaeo-“Christian” gutter religion.</p>
<p><strong> </strong><strong>Paleo-Conservativism: an infantile disorder </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>Paleo-conservativism is the general trends of conservativism prior to neo-conservativism. It’s espousers, to varying degrees essentially believe in what one would consider “traditional American values” prior to the particularly Jewish/Trotskite/fanatically interventionist-oriented takeover of both the Republican Party and American nationalist thought. Essentially, while at times objectively anti-imperialist, they’re just whining because White Judeo-“Christian” quarters fail to dominate the leading quarters of imperialist finance capital and policy decisions on domestic and foreign affairs and essentially have the same idiotic attachment to the “American</p>
<p>Dream” as do their neo-conservative rivals. However, they detest America’s globalist role today while glossing over the fact that a whole series of reactionary ideas and behaviors they oppose are the ideological basis for the forming of America and were always tactics and strategies used by the enemy government.</p>
<p>The United States didn’t become imperialistic and hell bent for world domination when it became essentially Jewish. Becoming Jewish just made the problem a whole lot worse. We can trace clear back to wars of aggression against the Red Indians, to support for the Jewish-led slave trade in both the North and South, to the war of aggression against Dixie, and to America’s subversive decision to become an imperialist power clear back to 1898 and the aggression against the Philippines, Cuba and Puerto Rico, while claiming to be their friend and brother against Spanish colonialism.</p>
<p>Miscegenation didn’t begin with Neo-conservatives. Not only were enslaving Africans and mass murdering Red Indians morally wrong and inexcusable, though the meaning, relevance and scope of such actions has become greatly distorted, but they led us to lose our unique European identity by blood and culture for a false and enemy American one, as much as it did to those it colonized. Chinese immigrants, like their Irish counterparts &#8211; our brothers today, were brought in on a large scale by those who adhered to the will of the “Founding Fathers” as a source of cheap and easily exploited labor. This can hardly be seen as wanting to preserve our ethnic character.</p>
<p>The fact is, our “Founding Fathers,” without exception, were all garbage, who hailed an anti-national project where people were advised to abandon their ethnic character and nationalist-class struggle for the merchant’s pipe dream of America. Any true White Nationalist is not a paleo-conservative and should hate America’s founding leaders and ideology as much as leftists and peoples oppressed by White World colonialism.</p>
<p>Paleo-conservatives often play an anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist social role at a time when our culture, like those of the entire world, is being rapidly eroded, but they do so from a distorted and defeatist worldview that lacks class analysis, honest historical basis or a path forward. Our duty as patriots must not be to make the impossible return to the origins of our demise before the onslaught of liberalism and globalism, but to build a revolutionary path forward.</p>
<p><strong>Build the European-American National Democratic Front and People’s War!</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The illusions must smashed. The American regime, dominated by International Zionism but criminal in its own right, is our arch-enemy and ethnic catastrophe. Here we affirm that as ZOG is standing in the way of our national liberation and behaving as a violent anti-nationalist and anti-popular classes menace around the world by force of arms, armed struggle is the primary mode and necessity for our people’s survival, territorial imperative and the formation of a liberated and independent European-American Democratic People’s Republic. Without undue bravado nor illusions, we call upon our best and brightest sons and daughters to build and enhance the European-American people’s mass struggle, prerequisite for our war of national liberation, with total commitment and selflessness.</p>
<p>We must join hands with the “Axis of Resistance” constituting those groups and lands around the world combating imperialism and the Jews. Primarily this includes the Mujahadeen in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan and Somalia, and the People’s Wars in the Philippines and Colombia. It also constitutes the friendly peoples of Korea, Cuba, Russia, Serbia, Venezuela, South Ossetia and Abkhazia, China, Pakistan and India, Belarus, Myanmar, Sudan, Zimbabwe and others. In so doing, being masters of our own destiny, such solidarity is not a manifestation of flunkies. Hence, such solidarity should not be without mutual autonomy or criticism, but as a genuinely organic expression of solidarity among patriots against a common enemy regardless of ethnic and ideological differences.</p>
<p>The current rejectionist tactics of more advanced White Nationalist groups, namely “lone wolf actions,” anti-regime armed standoffs and “terrorism” are not without extremely positive and effective attributes in light of the absolute necessity of military operations and the lack of a revolutionary mass line and political-military apparatus capable of currently defeating the American regime and the Jews. They are not an end in and of themselves however. Our people must launch a successful guerrilla war capable of galvanizing the political arena and mobilizing the masses of our European-American people or we may well perish.</p>
<p>Our revolutionary struggle for liberation is not a “Race War,” and the designs of International Zionism for such fratricide between ourselves and the Black nation, as espoused by certain myopic and sectarian forces only serves to undermine our struggle and resistance. We also call for the formation of solidarity between European-descended peoples of the United States and African-descended peoples and others based on mutual respect of ethnic identity, brotherhood and friendship, and resistance to a common threat. Any ethnic contradictions between ourselves and Black people and others must be secondary to a recognition of the need for class solidarity and the need for all peoples to correct a whole series of idiotic social roles and ideas, though rejecting of assimilation and racial nihilism. We must ultimately unite in a political-military showdown towards defeating Jewish power, promoting the resistance of peoples outside the US territorial boundaries on the frontlines against globalism, overthrowing the regime, and defending the self-determination and ethnic character of peoples.</p>
<p>Furthermore, we laud the heroic acts of resistance which occurred on September 11<sup>th</sup>, 2001 and welcome international combat volunteers, who also recognize in the American regime and the Jews a common enemy of their people and who are currently more advanced politically, spiritually, and militarily to combat them. At a time of total globalist onslaught we cannot pretend that our national borders exist in any coherent and natural sense anyways. This being the case, we respect the calls made by various Jihad organizations for opening up the field of combat both in the United States and the Zionist entity, rather than considering these to be acts of aggression against our people as proponents of the “war on terror” erroneously do.</p>
<p>Many forces conducting solidarity activities, building the movement against war, anti-Zionists, advocates of self-determination and anti-government agitators caution against raising the alarm bells with support of violent resistance to the Jews and regime, promotion of “terrorism” and the call for destroying the United States. Such people would argue that the actual conditions for successfully conducting People’s War currently do not exist or even that “terrorism” is universally immoral and counterproductive. They point out that this is potentially useful for demonizing more “legitimate” organizations, mass-appeal aboveground political work and single issue causes. It’s also true when they argue that this carries with it immense security risks and that the super-majority of people are deeply turned off by such an approach.</p>
<p>Yet, we cannot possibly forsake the revolution for political breadcrumbs or pragmatism. The necessity of armed nationalist-class struggle ranks as the singular greatest imperative both for the survival and liberation of my European-American people and for the final defeat of imperialism and Zionism around the world, i.e. for the national liberation of all peoples as the victory of international proletarian nationalism over cosmopolitanism, Americanism and globalism.</p>
<p>First, as is the duty of all people, I am affirming here the call for the self-determination and liberation of my people as a sacred principle and inalienable right, regardless of calls for moderation. At a time White people are being slated for destruction and demise, with all due respect, moderation and restraint are off the table. Secondly, one has to seriously question if anti-globalist forces within the misnomered “Western World,” unlike their counterparts in the equally misnomered “Third World,” are actually achieving anything at all. This leads to honestly assessing the state of defeat and duress, and presents clearly the centrality of revolutionary dynamism and correct ideology if we are going to tip the balance of power in our favor. Third, again I berate the proponents of dogmatic humanism and moralism for their degenerate blanket condemnations of the truly liberating brutality of resistance terror. The reality is we are fighting an enemy who lacks principles, chivalry or dignity. The idea of rules of engagement becomes a Talmudic length saga, rather than merely stressing the need for focusing attacks on the enemy more so than on our own popular classes (with the exception of the Zionist entity). This has become chains around the arms of our people and objectively enables reactionary anti-human terror of aggression a billion fold more barbaric than collateral damage caused by resistance actions, for it is such resistance actions that help to partially blunt the enemy’s aggression. Lastly, everything I have said about America, that it does not have a right to exist and will ultimately destroy our own just as it has so many others, is completely true. Hence, my position rests on its own merits.</p>
<p>The European-American “left,” unlike their counterparts throughout Eastern Europe, Asia, Arabia, Africa, Turkey and Latin America, overwhelming lack any real national dimension, red meat-eating instinct, willingness and thirst for combat, anti-Judaism and anti-Zionism in their psychology, and even are generally not opposed to globalism and imperialism. They have become chattel slaves, effeminate pacifists and the most loathing and distracted of shabbos goyim and ethnic nihilists. We struggle so that one day the best and brightest of our sons and daughters on the left join the ranks of proletarian Aryan combatant fighters, wishing defeat for the poisons of the New Left and Old Left alike.</p>
<p>Now looking honestly, my brothers and sisters on the right and those still embedded with a sense of salvation and ethnic survival, are not without the many fatal flaws I have mentioned in this appeal. May it be that ideological struggle and the blood of our martyrs cleanses our people, strengthens them, aids their contributions to overall global cause, and finds our people surviving and flourishing. Our greatest threat is apathy, our greatest freedom painful self-criticism, myself included.</p>
<p>We are facing the eventuality of the complete breakdown of imperialist finance capital. The imperialist system of the regime, aside from spreading the ills of multiculturalism, produced a parasitic economy unable to stand. Arise and destroy it with arms!</p>
<p>Glory to the European-American proletarian nation, hail to the White race!</p>
<p>Long live the resistance option, death to our enemies!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[In today’s post-Soviet world, with the exception of those places were Communists seized state power and developed patriotic models of building socialism and a few parties here and there, practically speaking to be a “Communist” today is to be a fifth column agent for Zionism, liberalism, social democracy, defeatism, cosmopolitanism, and imperialist globalization. The rest of the Western left is even more pathetic than this!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span><span><span style="font-size: medium">In today’s post-Soviet world, with the exception of those nations where Communists seized state power and developed patriotic models of building socialism, to call oneself a “Communist” today is to be a fifth column agent for Zionism, liberalism, social democracy, defeatism, cosmopolitanism, international Jewry, and imperialist globalization.<br />
</span></span></span></p>
<p>Those of us who love our Communist identity, who love the working class of our nation and want to preserve our ethnic character and believe in international solidarity with the popular masses of other countries fighting against Zionism and imperialism, have a profound obligation to tell the truth and struggle to rectify this embarrassing and humiliating situation. This is true no matter how many times we ourselves are accused of espousing “racism,” “xenophobia,” “national chauvinism,” “anti-Semitism,” “White Supremacism” or “Islamo-fascism,” and even “anti-Communism.” As a revolutionary principle, the popular classes struggle together as a national unit to build the revolution. This patriotic class struggle forms proletarian internationalism not based upon wanting to destroy nations and form a “Communist International,” but by the bonds of solidarity and cooperation between patriots of one land with another. The leading forces behind the United States and imperialism worldwide, which struggles to break down the ethnic character of people, are overwhelmingly Jewish.</p>
<p>21<sup>st</sup> Century Communism is National Communism, not dogmatic “anti-revisionist Marxism-Leninism,” not liberal identity politics and definitely not national nihilism and Jew-loving self-hatred. European-American National Communism isn’t chauvinistic nor the metaphysics of Hitlerite National Socialism, but it will coordinate with our kindred in the White Power national democratic front and other peoples on its own terms. It also will not fall for the trap of “anti-racism” and “anti-fascism” or whatever Jewish and nihilist conspiracy is hatched to prevent us from closing ranks with our kindred, regardless of whether or not they are currently anti-communist.</p>
<p>While we admire Stalin’s leadership during the Soviet-led struggle against Operation Barbarossa, we cannot possibly deny that many good points existed early on in the German revolution of 1933, and that very real limitations existed in the Communist movement, namely Jew-loving illusions and national nihilism. Further, we argue that Adolf Hitler has become the greatest sacred cow of the entire world, a sacred cow that needs to be correctly deconstructed because it stands in the way of our liberation and of movements of national release against globalism throughout the world.</p>
<p>We also will not deny that the dominant White Nationalist movement, regardless of our internal disagreements and its limitations, is not without many positive features. We defend “Europe for the Europeans” and opposition to “open borders” when Arabs and others ask us to “tone it down a notch,” because White people have a right to self-determination as much as Palestinians and Iraqis. Within the United States, multiculturalism is nothing more than a codeword for Zionist-driven cosmopolitanism and nihilistic death for which all of us are ultimately victims. We refuse to differentiate between Jews and Zionists, because it cannot possibly be argued that this lie has any logical benefit for our struggle or the overall struggle against imperialism. We do not deny the existence of races or the centrality of ethno-nationalism as the only genuine form of nationalism today, but merely state that such questions are the internal matter of other peoples and oppose genuine ethnic chauvinism while equally lambasting calls of denunciation against true nationalism when it is slandered by the forces of “political correctness.” Lastly, like all White Nationalists in the US, we love White people, are proudly Eurocentric and openly quarrel with the dominant leftist paradigm that pretends European-Americans are not an oppressed nation today with a right to self-determination.</p>
<p>Our communism is not an attempted subversion of the people through chameleon tactics. We have no hidden agenda, because our goals are public knowledge. Our call for socialism, anti-imperialism and anti-Zionism and the liberation of White people through a coordinated national democratic front is an open and steady call. Our political alliances are honest alliances, regardless of real differences, based on an understanding of needing unified collective White European-American action and eventually coordination with other people to bring down the American regime and Jewish power worldwide. We are not rightists with the rightists and leftists with the leftists, though we do speak to each in ways to which they can relate. We are patriotic communists at all times.</p>
<p>Unlike other group identities formed around religion or based on national identity (without conceding that the Jews constitute a nation), the very act of being a Jew is hostile to the world and without redeeming value. We admire Lenin, but he was wrong on this. Almost no real “Jewish proletariat” exists to be differentiated from the Jewish bourgeoisie, because Jews are lazy predatory creatures who close ranks around a common goal of world domination and economic slavery. We do need to condemn White globalists and others who are power holders in imperialist finance capital and the conspiracy to destroy nation states and think in terms of class analysis, but it is very important to understand that the leading quarters of imperialism and the true power structure of the United States are all Jews and that the entire Jewish community closes ranks with this threat to liberty.</p>
<p>My organization, the European-American Socialist People&#8217;s Front, calls on honest elements of the White European-descended left to correct their mistakes on the national question and the Jewish problem and join ranks for a nation liberation struggle to come. We call on White European-descended rightists to understand that while the dominant Western leftist political movements are Judaic assaults on the dignity of the white race, that not all of us are without great love for and pride in our people, and we do want a unified front to preserve our identity and promote our liberation. We address our allies outside the realm of our kindred as friends and comrades, but we do not allow that they should possibly dictate the terms of our mass line. We argue that natural differences always will exist between the mass lines of completely different people, but that this should not stand in the way of amiable relations and collective solidarity against a common threat.</p>
<p>Imperialism, not White solidarity, is the real enemy of humanity!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[So then while we reject America as a concept, we cannot reject the fact that materially it obviously does exist. We all are currently thrown into this project which constitutes the center of world imperialism dominated by Jewish finance capital where most people hold self-defeating and deeply reactionary views that promote militarism or illusions about imperialism and Zionism. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span><span><span><span><span style="font-size: medium">Now more than ever, America is deeply hated around the world, and many people have come to detest the opportunism of most of our population for their economist compromises with militarism. It is therefore important to understand who is to blame for tolerating and supporting US imperialism and to properly address how the problem should be addressed. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">My position has always been that America is a banker’s prison house of nations without a right to exist. It should come down by force of arms with each people de-linking their ethnic identity from America as a prerequisite for building socialism and communism. When the people loudly procolaim, “ Death to America!,” we speak not of the needless mass killing of three hundred million people, but of the end to an oppressive and monstrous cosmopolitan Zionist project which brings ruin to White people as much as to Blacks, Red Indians, Mexican-Americans or Puerto Ricans. Even more so, it is also a direct threat of our total extermination! This is a line, incidentally understood in many advanced White nationalist quarters, for those who still believe the Zionist media nonsense about how White racialist forces inherently are so ultra-chauvinistic that they wind up being aligned with imperialism. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">So then while we reject America as a concept, we cannot reject the fact that materially it obviously does exist. We all are currently thrown into this project which constitutes the center of world imperialism dominated by Jewish finance capital where most people hold self-defeating and deeply reactionary views that promote militarism or illusions about imperialism and Zionism. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">The ultra-“left,” namely anarchists, sectarian Maoists, chauvinistic Black/African nationalists and racialists, eclectic New Leftists who unfortunately aren’t dead yet, and that broad cult of ignoring class analysis commonly know as “Third Worldists,” are correct to the extent that they blame the American people for tolerating US imperialist aggression, for taking opportunist lines out of populist feelings, and for putting up insignificant resistance to it. These forces lack an understanding of the socio-economic power structure and often replace anti-imperialism with anti-White sectarianism. However, they are basically correct that the American economy is parasitic for which the popular classes bear some degree of responsibility for tolerating and often supporting and attempting to benefit from it. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">Now then, if we European-Americans, as exemplified by your average redneck, are to be ridiculed for our false patriotism today which heralds the bombing and destruction of peoples, what about the Mexican who receives citizenship in exchange for serving in the imperialist army’s wars of aggression? What about the millions of pathologically lazy proponents of “Aztlan” who pretend to advance Mexican-American interests even while they are really short-sidedly aligned with the very globalist forces who are breaking down the ethnic character of all the world’s people, including Mexican-Americans and Mexicans, and promoting the free flow of imperialist finance capital and super-profits on the graves of national boundaries? What about those who invent a metaphysical “poverty draft” to pretend that those from among their own ethnic group or social class aren’t equally traitors for actively participating in imperialist wars? What about Red Indians who honor those from amongst their people who died while combating the liberation fighters in Iraq on behalf of US imperialism and world Zionism? Should we honor these fallen scum as “heroes” against oppression or be any less enthusiastic about their deaths? What about the reality of the Black streets today who do not turn their hearts towards Shahid Malik elShabazz (Malcolm X) and The Right Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey, but are galvanized around the ultra-Zionist and imperialist lackey Barack Obama simply because he has a non-White continence, even as Obama‘s policies often mirror those of the most hawkish quarters of neo-conservativism, including neo-colonialist policies against Black people? Even Louis Farrakhan’s wing of the Nation of Islam and the leadership of the New Panthers sound like your typical PC Kosher Jewish liberal today. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">The fact is that economism, which can vaguely be defined as attempting to win gains in the struggle for social emancipation and national self-determination through collusion with the imperialist power structure, is a crippling problem with deadly consequences today. White European-Americans are often deeply guilty of this, but so is virtually everyone in the United States to an equal or even greater degree. The lesson to be learned is that all of us need to stop being soft on opportunism, not that the White popular classes in North America and Europe are inherently evil if they reject assimilation and cosmopolitanism. Indeed, White assimilation ultimately works against the self-determination of everyone and is in the best interest of no one except the Jews, the imperialists and petty local tyrants from among the brotherly peoples of the world. Ultimately, the unity and independence of the world and whatever ethnic group we hold dear demands we wage a successful revolutionary struggle against imperialism and Zionism. Namely we need to destroy our Zionist and imperialist rulers in the United States and their power structure. It is vital that we understand that this cannot be achieved short of protracted guerrilla warfare against the US government and the Jews. Furthermore, it is both our internationalist duty and the realization of our true patriotic self-interest to actively support our brothers and sisters in foreign lands on the front lines against the enemy today, particularly as they undergo armed struggle. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium">All of our peoples can and must correct a whole series of reactionary social roles and ideas, but we also do not need to be excessively disparaged. We need to hold accountable and uplift one another and to organize the masses. Through the concerted efforts of all the peoples in North America, let us wage a heroic struggle against imperialism and Zionism! </span></p>
<p></span></span></span></span></p>

<p>Were one to rationally evaluate this &#8220;argument&#8221; of supporting Jews and Judaism but not Zionism, one would face a series of problematic questions.  First, what is Jewishness and is it reactionary?  Second, what does Judaism teach, and does it call for the creation of a Zionist entity on stolen soil, as well as support of  a whole series of racist misanthropic parasitic Jewish behaviors we are trained to consider Zionism today, namely the belief that Jews are superior to everyone else?  Third, to what extent do Jews and Judaism differentiate themselves from international Zionism?  Fourth, to what degree are today&#8217;s Zionist-dominated Jewish social roles, behaviors, and ideas similar to or different from Jewish social roles, behaviors, and ideas prior to the widespread domination of modern Zionism amongst the Jews?  Fifth, if we were to come to the conclusion that Zionism is not drastically different from Jewishness and  Judaism does that mean one is henceforth obligated to recognize Zionism or the Zionist entity out of avoidance of &#8220;anti-Semitism&#8221;?  Lastly, is it possible  to be in opposition to collective Jewry and Judaism, that is to say to be against Jews, Judaism and Zionism, without being a reactionary or a chauvinist, i.e. can one be anti-Judaic or even &#8220;anti-Jewish&#8221; without being a &#8220;racist anti-Semite&#8221;?</p>
<p><strong><em>What exactly is Jewishness?</em></strong></p>
<p>Regarding the Jewish Question, we argue that the Jews are not a nationality with a right to self-determination.  Rather, they are a group based on the religious ideology, Judaism, but also including those who still identify with the camaraderie of &#8220;chosen&#8221; status  they feel God has &#8220;given&#8221; them, even if repudiating the existance of any such Being, who organically  play a common parasitic social role with the desire to create an ever-expansive Zionist entity, which both Hertzelite and non-Hertzelite Jews refer to as &#8220;Israel&#8221;, and to enslave the world, who from the extreme right to the extreme left, secular and religious, share a common willingness to close ranks against the &#8220;inferior&#8221; masses of the rest of humanity whom they collectively and individually see as out to get them.</p>
<p>On all levels Jewishness is reactionary, and yes for that reason we are &#8220;anti-Jewish&#8221;.</p>
<p>We note that the Jews do not share a common language, a definable historical territory, a collective history (at least in the sense of the Polish Jew having the history of the Algerian one, all be it with each having a fierce Jewishness about that that subjectively wishes to negate these obvious material limitations), and arguably even a common culture.  Furthermore, we note that even many Jewish Zionist reactionaries, for example the late Arthur Koestler, openly admit that the Ashkenazi Jew does not originate in the lands of 1948 Palestine, but in the lower Volga River Valley in Russia.  Jewishness in and of itself does not even make one a &#8220;Semite&#8221; i.e. member of a common macrocosm of nationalities (and again Jews are not a nationality) belonging to a language group, one which oddly enough makes all Arabs, but not all Jews, inherently &#8220;Semites&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong><em>The reactionary nature of Judaism</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p>Judaism is a tribalistic religion originating in ancient times which preaches exclusivist values based on perceived bloodline and the following of rituals and taboos.  Judaism rejects the universalism of salvation found in most modern religions and openly proclaims its adherents to be superior to all other people. By contrast, major world religions including Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism, preach brotherhood of all believers, actively seek converts rather than isolating themselves, and preach that salvation is attainable to all who practice the faith. Judaism seldom accepts converts and judges membership based on whether a person&#8217;s mother was Jewish.</p>
<p>While other religions have applications which are completely reactionary, and that should opposed, the primary difference between Judaism and other religions is that reactionary teachings and behaviors are not so much a deviation from true Judaism as they are the logical application of it.  Even dogmatic atheists, were they to condemn all religions, could never condemn all religions equally, namely because Judaism is not simply reactionary, but, strictly on the ideological level, it is drastically more reactionary than any other major trend, even including Satanism.  Judaism preaches genetic-based supremacy, and the Torah depicts God ordering the &#8220;chosen people&#8221; to engage in acts that would now be known as ethnic cleansing and genocide (Joshua 6:16-22 is a perfect example.)  Christianity, Islam and Buddhism, on the other hand, teach universal salvation and the brotherhood of humanity.</p>
<p>This is in stark contrast to western leftists who often use dogmatic atheism as a cover for Judaeophiliac tendencies like pretending that the entire history of Islamic civilization was nothing but a feudal persecution of women, and blaming Christianity for having genocidal perspectives based on Torah quotations that should actually be directed to prove that leftists should be anti-Jewish and not necessarily anti-Christian or anti-Muslim.</p>
<p>This is to say nothing of the insane cultish mysticism of the Kabala, as well as the voluminous diatribes advocating tribal-sectarian objectively anti-social behavioral patterns against the entire world on the part of the sinister and the ever-misanthropic Judaism found within the &#8220;spiritual wisdom&#8221; of the Babylonian Talmud.  This is the very same Talmud which establishes, as a matter of fact, that Judaism and Judaic cultural influence, teaches its children to hate people of other religions, to mock the Virgin Mary as a prostitute or to spit as they walk by crosses.  Can we really expect that this kind of ideology or behavior would have gotten the Jew accepted into deeply religious and Christian-dominated Europe anymore than Jewish sectarian hatred of Muslims and the refusal of Arab Jews to see themselves as Arabs, Persian Jews as fellow Persians, accepted into the various nations of the sacred Ummah?  Only in these Judaeophilic times would such &#8220;logic&#8221; even be worthy of consideration, much less be regarded as the unquestionable and absolute truth.</p>
<p><strong><em>Do Jews and Judaism actually &#8220;differentiate&#8221; between Zionism, support for the Zionist entity and Jewish Supremacy from their Jewishness or the tenets of Judaism?</em></strong></p>
<p>We argue that other than a small handful of politically and socially irrelevant rabbis against the Zionist entity and Zionism solely because they want such entity-stealing to be more racist and more fascist, and to be led by a certain kind of Hasidic sectarian &#8220;messiah&#8221; before stealing Palestine, while fully supporting the parasitic social role Jews play, that all other Jews do not meaningfully differentiate between Jewishness and/or practical Judaism from Zionism.  This is true even if they claim to be &#8220;anti-Zionist&#8221; in some &#8220;progressive&#8221; neo-Bundist bastardization of the word, or in the Trotskyite sense of calling for &#8220;socialist&#8221; models of Jews stealing Palestine and promoting Jewish national illusions, rather than capitalistic ones.</p>
<p>Do any of these &#8220;anti-Zionists&#8221; actually call for the Jews to abandon their illusionary &#8220;nationality&#8221; and &#8220;ethno&#8221;-paranoiac Jewishness?  Have they abandoned forever the age old cause of &#8220;Israel&#8221;, whether messianic or Hertzelite in model?  Do they see themselves as members of the nations to which they belong?  Do they struggle for the social and national liberation of the world around them, rather than partake of the Jew&#8217;s role in society?  They certainly do not collectively.</p>
<p><strong><em>How and to what degree are today&#8217;s Zionist-dominated Jewish social roles, behaviors, and ideas similar to or different from Jewish social roles, behaviors, and ideas prior to the widespread domination of modern Zionism amongst the Jews? </em></strong></p>
<p>Here again, while we argue that the social role of the Jew has become substantially worse with the advent of imperialism, and even worse still with the advent of modern globalism, the social role of the Jew is, was, and always will be reactionary.  One cannot address the pogroms of Russia, inquisitions of Spain, or internment camps of Hitlerite Germany, without considering objectively why the Jews have come to be hated with patriotic fervor by the masses in every country in which they have ever lived in significant numbers, whether under the slave holding society, feudalism, capitalism, or even socialism.</p>
<p>We argue that the Jews their Judaic perversions are inherently and intentionally in the camp of exploiter minority rule against oppressed nations, classes, groups, and individuals because of the market fetish orientation of the Jew.  That Hertzel&#8217;s Zionism and the pre-Hertzelite quasi-Zionism of the Jewish enemy either advocate in theory, by tenets, or by de facto collective historical example the collusion with dominant market powers rather than genuine solidarity with national and social liberation is no accident.</p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>We are anti-Zionist regardless of whether Jews or others approve!</em></strong></p>
<p>Zionism advocates a territorial &#8220;solution&#8221; to the Jewish question, and this despite the fact that they clearly do not constitute a genuine nation (altogether different from subjectively viewing themselves in such a manner).  Furthermore, Zionism by the direct admission of its founders and leading proponents, through its actions, and in its written tenets, advocates collusion with one or more imperialist powers.  It is both subjectively and objectively aligned against the mass of national liberation movements for self-determination.  It negates in practice the Arab identity of Palestine and the right of the Arabs to unify themselves free of outside domination by imperialist Zionist intrigues and conspiracies.</p>
<p>The Zionist entity does not possess a legitimate right to exist.  Therefore, the acts of martyrdom bombings and other glorious resistance of the Fedayeen cannot be seen as illegitimate acts.  &#8220;Israel&#8221; does not contain a single &#8220;citizen&#8221; but rather a collective settler-colonialist negation of the rights of the Arabs.</p>
<p>We reject the existence of normalized relations with the Zionist entity by any nation of this earth and call for Zionist organizations to be annihilated in total and collectively because of their status as one of the greatest dangers facing the planet and an international conspiracy that can only be fully beaten through a global struggle: armed struggle in some places, and boycott activity in others.</p>
<p>While Modern Zionism is a &#8220;secular&#8221; concept, it cannot be seen as such in the conventional sense, because it espouses an exclusive state for the Jews.  This can no more be seen as secular than one could see the Vatican, ruled by the leader of the Catholic Church, as a secular state, even if it performs secular functions that a state must perform.  Secularism, in practice, has come to mean something far more enlightened than this.</p>
<p>Even those who call for Arab-Jewish co-existence are simply using such sophistry as a Jewish colonialist bargaining chip.  After all, if these Jews like assimilating with their neighbors so much, why didn&#8217;t they do that in Russia, Canada, Argentina, or whatever nations to which they each individually belong?  This is neither genuinely secular nor progressive.  The only thing genuinely progressive in the Zionist entity, involving Jews, is a bus bombing in Tel Aviv, with the number dead Jews reflecting the degree of progressiveness of that action.</p>
<p>We militantly reject the Eurocentric racism and opportunism of those who are totally aware of the Jewish threat and the social role that Jews play against all nations to which they belong, and yet who choose the path of dumping the Jews off in the land of Palestine, as if this were some sort of &#8220;solution&#8221;.  The arrogance of this thought and behavior is boundless!  Purely one&#8217;s own racism is at work, if rather than having to deal with their weak stomach for the Jewish question, one instead decides to cooperate with Jews and Zionists and move them out of the country, and which then accurses and punishes the Arab people who have done more than any other people in modern times to fight Jewish Supremacy and Zionism.</p>
<p>As consistent nationalists, must we not insist that the problems of Moscow, Berlin, or anywhere be solved by the national unit alone without making its problems an international drama?  Besides, as a matter of fact, the Jewish danger and Zionism must be fought even if with the firm recognition of the role of the national unit, ultimately on a global scale, in order to win a decisive political/military victory over the enemies of all humanity.</p>
<p>We stand with the Arabs and Muslims resisting the Zionist enemy, just as we stand with all people resisting imperialism and neo-colonialism, opposing all forms of scab behavior in this keynote struggle, and this regardless of how western leftists or international Jewry feel about the matter!</p>
<p><strong><em>On the &#8220;anti-Semitism&#8221; misnomer and why our open disdain for Jews and Judaism is neither &#8220;anti-Semitic&#8221; nor chauvinistic. </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p>Whenever anyone attacks anything about Jews and Zionists, even if such attack clearly is objective and accurate, containing not a shred of racism whatsoever, it is almost always labeled &#8220;anti-Semitism” and its author becomes a &#8220;racist anti-Semite&#8221;.  The basis of this concept is that all Jews are Semites, and that they are being attacked because they are allegedly Semites.</p>
<p>By Semites, again we refer here to a macrocosm of nationalities encompassing one language group, one that makes this paradigm particularly comical as the Arabic language is Semitic, and therefore all Arabs are by definition Semites.  It is an attempt to give the impression that the Jews collectively constitute a nation, and that this nation is a legitimate state.  Well, not all Jews are &#8220;Semitic&#8221;, as the Jew comes from a number of racial stocks and belongs to an even greater number of nationalities and speaks not a single common tongue</p>
<p>There exists a whole series of things which are unacceptable to the Jews and Zionists, and unfortunately today&#8217;s Jewish-controlled western leftists, as well.  These range from the fact that Jews aren&#8217;t a nationality and the bulk of them don&#8217;t have even a shred of ancestral connection to the land of 1948 Palestine, to the Khazar origins of the Ashkenazi Jews, to the history of the Jews in the transatlantic slave trade which resulted in millions and millions of dead Africans, to the fact that revisionist historians have clearly shown that the three great tenets of the Jewish &#8216;holocaust&#8217; myth are all lies, to approaching the parasitic social role of the Jew, or even the relationship they have been accused of having with Freemasonry.</p>
<p>How many Jews do you know who like to talk about the holohoax and its relevance to the Zionist entity?  Yet revisionist historians, many of them facing beatings, slayings, and long prison terms, have revealed that a number several hundred percent smaller than 5-6 million died during the Second World War, that no actual attempt to exterminate the Jews took place, and that the homicidal &#8220;gas chambers&#8221;, whether diesel or dual use Zyklon B, never existed.</p>
<p>When Arab resistance forces launch attacks against &#8220;Israel&#8217;s&#8221; 1948 territories, how many &#8220;anti-Zionist&#8221; Jews actually support these actions?  Virtually none!</p>
<p>Who gives a damn what the Jews like?!  The fact is that our struggle against Zionism and Jewish Supremacy does not require their approval or for us to &#8220;prove&#8221; anything to Jews.  In fact, within materialist parameters of struggle against Jewish behavior, ideology and social roles, which are not based on predetermined pseudo-racial characteristics of the Jew, but on individual and collective choices the Jew has made or at least chosen not to break with, it’s actually anti-racist and progressive to be &#8220;anti-Jewish&#8221;.  In essence, there are anti-Jewish positions which are idealistic and potentially, but not necessarily, chauvinistic, and then there are anti-Jewish positions which are based on materialism and grounded in reality.  Even &#8220;anti-Semitism&#8221;, actually anti-Jewish racialism, is far less a problem today than is the very Jewish racialism which gives rise and form and content to its mirror image.  Before and behind the reflection of hating the Jew for racial sectarian reasons, there was the Jew and his racial sectarian behavior, which gives rise to malformed expressions of the goyim popular masses.</p>
<p>Here again we argue that the world is exponentially a greater victim of the Jews than the Jews of the world!</p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>II. Beyond Judeophilia: A Vital Look at &#8220;Karl Marx on the Jewish Question&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p>In 1844, Karl Marx published an essay called &#8220;On the Jewish Question.&#8221;  This essay has often been suppressed or ignored by people calling themselves Marxists, because Judaeophilic tendencies have become dominant in such groups, and what Karl Marx had to say about Jews was certainly not flattering.  The essay is available online at:</p>
<p>www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1844/jewish-question/index.htm</p>
<p align="center"><strong> </strong></p>
<p>It is worth studying, because what was written about the Jews 162 years ago is true today as well.  Indeed, the Jews are, if anything, guilty of these vices on a far grander scale.  Let&#8217;s be clear of whom Marx was speaking when he criticized Jews.  He wasn&#8217;t speaking of bloodline.  Indeed, as many enemies of Marx often point out, that would have been quite a severe self-criticism. He wasn&#8217;t speaking of religion, for he makes clear in his essay that he is not speaking of the &#8220;Jew of the Sabbath.&#8221;  He was clearly speaking of group identity, which would, of course, include secular people who call themselves Jews, even if they have never in their lives set foot in a synagogue.</p>
<p align="center"><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Marx starts off the essay by berating Jews for calling for their special emancipation.  He asks them why the German people should care about their emancipation, when they don&#8217;t care about Germany.  Isn&#8217;t it ironic that in certain respects Adolf Hitler came far closer to this position than Ernst Thaelman or Georgi Dimitroff?</p>
<p align="center"><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Marx also alluded to the Jewish dominance of finance capital, saying that the Jew in Vienna who is banned from German states still controls the fate of Europe.  He also clearly connected Jews with predatory capitalism.  Marx said, &#8220;What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering.  What is his worldly god?  Money.&#8221;</p>
<p align="center"><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Marx concludes by calling for the emancipation of the world from Jews, as the emancipation of the world from huckstering.  Marx was right in 1844, and his words are still true today.  We need to eliminate Jews from the world.</p>
<p align="center"><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Jewish power over finance capital became power over the entire economy, as Lenin observed in &#8220;Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism,&#8221; without referring to Jews. Zionism also became a peculiarly Jewish form of colonialism, though Jewish finance capital backed other kinds of colonialism as well.</p>
<p>Jews are the enemy to all of us, even when they are not overtly Zionist or not overtly involved with imperialism, as their group identification puts their interests over the interests of the peoples among whom they dwell.  As such, Jewish &#8220;Marxists,&#8221; are invariably traitors.  Trotsky and his followers betrayed the USSR, and they were mostly Jewish.  Stalin purged most of the Jews from the party, and when he had done so, the USSR made tremendous progress.  Even today, Trotskyism and Western &#8220;Maoism&#8221; are dominated by Jews and Judaeophiles (this is not to imply that there was anything Judaeophilic about Mao Zedong, only his Western &#8220;followers.&#8221;)</p>
<p>&#8220;Anti-Zionist&#8221; Jews are invariably that in name only.  Their position turns to treason.  They are &#8220;anti-Zionist&#8221; in that they call for a return to the 1967 &#8220;Israeli&#8221; borders or call for &#8220;peaceful co-existence&#8221; with Palestinians, or claim to support Palestine&#8217;s liberation but condemn the actual steps towards it (particularly common is condemnation of human bombs.)</p>
<p align="center"><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Jewish leaders of the &#8220;anti-war&#8221; movement in the West invariably take collaborationist positions.  They condemn the Iraqi resistance.  They forward the notion &#8220;support &#8216;our&#8217; troops.&#8221;  If they nominally support the Iraqi resistance, it&#8217;s with utter insincerity, such as condemning President Hussein or condemning any resistance fighter who isn&#8217;t Maoist or Trotskyite or &#8220;Marxist.&#8221;</p>
<p align="center"><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Jewish &#8220;Marxists,&#8221; Jewish leftists, and Jewish &#8220;anti-Zionists,&#8221; are worse than overt reactionaries, because they fool a lot of honest Marxists, leftists, and anti-Zionists into following them and committing grave errors that objectively harm the movements, despite their good intentions.  Real leftists must not dance around this issue any longer.  This is the elephant in the living room of which no one dares speak.  We cannot effectively fight capitalism, imperialism, or Zionism unless we also fight the Jews.  To attempt that can at best only attack the symptoms and leave the disease unchecked.</p>
<p align="center"><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Any self-identification as a Jew or adherence to Jewish group identity is inherently reactionary.  Anyone who calls himself a Jew is our mortal enemy.</p>
<p align="center"><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Leftists, anti-capitalists, anti-imperialists, anti-war people, and anti-Zionists must not tolerate Jews in their leadership or even in their presence.  The only good Jew is an ex-Jew or a dead Jew.</p>
