casseia's blog

Thanks to Danse at Truthaction for this transcript/translation of Khamenei's speech today.

I finally dredged from my memory the reason that I was (most unpleasantly) acquainted with von Brunn and his website -- back in 2007-8 he was a "character reference" for Capt. May, believe it or not. I'm posting the material from the "Portland Nuclear Inquest" Yahoo group that I came across back then and revisited today -- just in case they try to wipe the slate clean. The Capt. May connection is perhaps THE significant connection between von Brunn and the 9/11 Truth movement -- which is merely to say that when open racists and nutty demagogues are tolerated, we end up one handshake away from people like von Brunn. Incidentally, the reason May felt compelled to repost von Brunn's assurance to us that he really isn't a racist is because Carol Brouillet was taking flak for and concerned about having him (May) on her radio show. - c455

LeftWright calls this the best article he's ever read on Alternet and proceeds to inject massive life-saving doses of Truth into the comments section. Note the especially lackluster strategies used by the "two" resident troll(s):

This is from Jack Blood, the radio host -- NOT the most credible source by any means -- based on what Dylan Avery -- again, not someone whose word I would take without a salt shaker handy -- says. Obviously, one particular interpretation of the private detective's alleged response is promoted here, but it seems to me that BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW, it is not the only one. -- c455

NEW INFORMATION ON THE DEATH OF 911 EYEWITNESS BARRY JENNINGS SEEMS TO POINT TO FOUL PLAY

by Jack Blood

I stumbled across this video today -- it reminded me of my trip to France last year which included a visit to a big grocery store like this Carrefour.

Part one of four.

Abstract:

http://jta.org/news/article/2009/03/11/1003607/freeman-blames-israel-lob...

WASHINGTON (JTA) -- Supporters of the Obama administration's aborted appointment for a top intelligence post said the former ambassador was unfairly tarred by pro-Israel pundits and advocates.

But lawmakers who led the successful campaign against the selection of Charles “Chas” Freeman said their concerns always had less to do with his criticisms of Israel than his financial ties to Saudi Arabia and a Chinese oil company with business dealings in Iran.

This is an old article (2007) but definitely something to keep in mind should, G-d forbid, unfortunate events befall any Muslim holy places in Jerusalem. Also check out the author's uncanny 1984-ism of a name.

Dome of the Rock: Target of Muslim Extremists?
by Emanuel A. Winston

Collapsing the Dome and Al-Aksa may trigger a war.

This is a repost of a Guardian blog and mostly pertains to fruits and vegetables. In the US, at least on the West Coast, most of our imported produce (besides all the Mexican stuff) is from Chile, but it is most definitely worth reading the labels on products like olive oil, olives, feta cheese, couscous and other less-perishable products that make their way here from Israel -- not to mention that WTCD islanders in Britain/Europe may actually be able to shun the perishables.

Let's hope this guy is just full of shit. Let's also hope than when he says "in the next month" he means "months" and just doesn't pronounce it right. (That's a tricky one for non-native speakers.) Don't miss his request that cameras be turned off!

Under better circumstances, this would be really freakin' funny. -- c455

In addition to bombs and missiles that have killed an ever increasing number of Palestinian civilians, Israel has dropped millions of flyers on the occupied, besieged Gaza Strip.

Most of these blogs seem to feature first-person reporting from Gaza.

I'd like to add more to this list and will do so as I sort through everyone's links to everyone else.

The ground invasion has begun. I'm watching a little FOX because the other networks don't seem to be pre-empting their regular crap (and you know if you watch it in a mirror and play the sound backward, you can actually get some news).

I don't like violence, I really don't, but when Hamas tells the IOF (Israeli Offense Force) that Gaza will be their cemetery, I know which side I'm on.

McKinney masterfully controls this interview with CNN, invoking Martin Luther King, Jr., and the attack on the USS Liberty.

Gaza today: 'This is only the beginning'
By Ewa Jasiewicz

As I write this, Israeli jets are bombing the areas of Zeitoun and Rimal
in central Gaza City. The family I am staying with has moved into the
internal corridor of their home to shelter from the bombing. The windows
nearly blew out just five minutes ago as a massive explosion rocked the
house. Apache’s are hovering above us, whilst F16s sear overhead.

UN radio reports say one blast was a target close to the main gate of Al
