  • Written by Dr. Ludwig Watzal

Bonn 19 August 2014. Did George W. Bush perhaps forget one state when he delivered his infamous speech about the so-called "Axis of Evil"? The Zionist lobbyists around the world do everything in their power to whitewash and justify the heinous war crimes that have been committed by the Israeli occupying force against a defenseless and imprisoned Palestinian population in the ghetto-like Gaza Strip. Stephen Lendman, journalist and Research Associate of the Centre for Research on Globalization, has listed a lot of arguments supporting the thesis that Benyamin Netanyahu is "Israel's Pinochet".1

Why don't dissociate the US Empire and its European client states from such a leader, who discredits all the precious values, these states supposedly ascribe to? Or are these so-called Western values only window dressing or good for soap-box oratory in order to justify their own war crimes? It seems that none of the Western politicians want to understand, in which dilemma they find themselves, if they continue to support the war crimes of Netanyahu's right-wing nationalistic government. International arrest warrants should have already been issued against Netanyahu and his security cabinet in the name of the Palestinian Authority in order to bring Netanyahu and his colleagues before the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

Not without reason have neither the United States nor Israel acceded to the Statute of the International Criminal Court. The leaders of both countries knew why they didn't join it. Both countries on the other hand, exert massive pressure on the court, so the court keeps the lawsuits against Israeli officials for formal reasons inadmissible, as Julian Borger reports in the British newspaper "The Guardian" from 18 August 2014.2

Unfortunately, as long as these reckless politicians are in office, they are granted immunity. But what about Ehud Olmert, Ehud Barak and Tzipi Livni who were responsible for the Gaza massacre in 2008/2009? Why hasn't the Abbas regime not issued arrest warrants against these Israeli politicians? The Goldstone report is the basis for an indictment for these war crimes, even though Judge Goldstone had to renounce form its own results, due to the pressure of the Zionist lobby in South Africa. But nonetheless the report is still legally valid.

Every politically impartial observer of the political scene in Israel turns away in disgust from the everyday racism and fascism in Israel. Here are some samples: The deputy speaker of the Knesset, Moshe Feiglin, calls for "Concentration Camps" in Gaza and "the conquest of the entire Gaza Strip, and annihilation of all fighting forces and their supporters".3 Feiglin is not considered a weirdo but rather a political ticket-puncher within Netanyahu's Likud party.  The newspaper "The Times of Israel" published an article by Jochanan Gordon, in which he argued that "Genocide is permissible". To their credit, the paper removed the online-article after a public outcry. the author was subsequently dropped from the editorial team like a hot potato and had to publicly apologize. The rabbi and member of the Knesset, Eli Ben Dahan, name Palestinians "animals who do not deserve to live".4 The list of racist and extreme right-wing sayings by Israeli politicians could be continued indefinitely. Having read the book "Jewish History, Jewish Religion" by Israel Shahak, I'm not surprised at all.5

For the credibility of all the democracies, Israel becomes an unsustainable problem. Political consequences are overdue.

Dr. Robert Owens’ Newest Book 

 

While neither the first nor the last Hippie, Backstreet was in many ways the quintessential Hippie.  Today the Hippie experience has been glamorized and sanitized by the dreaming of the young and the gleaning of the old. 

Backstreet's experiences covered the whole range of experimentation and rebellion that the Hippies came to symbolize.  From the "Summer of Love" in People's Park and Haight Ashbury, (he helped bury the Hippie in San Francisco) through Drop City, Colorado to the Armadillo in Austin, Texas Backstreet was there. 

More than the Lost Generation of the post-World War I era or the Beat Generation of the 1950's the Hippie Generation represents the ultimate in missed opportunities, lost dreams, and eventually counterproductive goals.

Make America Great Again - AGAIN!

This book is filled with some of the positive accomplishments of President Trump’s first Administration.  Most of this has never been covered by the echo-chamber megaphone pretending to be an objective media.  Some of it has been covered as if through a carnival mirror, distorted and reshaped to fit the negative agenda of the Left. 

Though the media elites, the perpetually re-elected, and the bureaucrats of the deep state are united in their determination to defeat Donald Trump they’ve forgotten one thing … most Americans still believe in America.  And though they’ve used the Plandemic to shut down our economy and their shock troops are burning down our cities they’ll not be able to terrorize us into staying home on election day. 

And when the dust settles,  

four more years may give us enough breathing space to: 

Make America Great Again – Again!
