A Difference Beyond Question
Before the Jews of Hungary were emancipated in the 19th century, they were not permitted to own land. By the end of the century, they were on their way to owning fully one-fifth of Hungary's large estates and were hugely successful in business and the arts. The Jews of Germany had a similar history. They comprised many if not most of the country's lawyers, doctors, composers, playwrights and scientists, and were so astonishingly successful in business that while they were just 1 percent of the population, they were 31 percent of the richest families. What did it? Was it nature (Jews were smarter) or nurture (Jews had a certain culture)? Here's my answer: I don't know.
I do know, though, that if you eliminate what would certainly be condemned as a racist explanation -- Jews as inherently smarter than non-Jews -- then you are left with culture: There was something in the Jewish experience -- 1,000 or so years of persecution and being shunted into dishonorable occupations such as money lending -- that prepared Europe's Jews for the onset of capitalism. Countless books have been written to explain this phenomenon, which continues to this day with Israel's intellectual domination of its region. In his new book, "The Future of the Jews," Stuart E. Eizenstat provides an example: "Between 1980 and 2000, 7,652 patents were registered by Israelis in the United States." The figure for the entire Arab world? 367.

Now, now you just call me a neonazi! What a joke! Go on invent a patent for me. I think you are so intelligent to get some other weapons against me. It is right I was educated in nazi schools, but I was for years in progressive jewish circles. But if you call me an antizionist you are right.

Well how about the atombombs of Truman in Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Useless civilian victims in WWII of perhaps approximately 400.000. Just to keep the Soviets from Japan. War crime. Without the atom bombs Japan would have capitulated too.

probably ...eventually,,, with more loss of life

Civilian deaths in the precursors to WWII started early thirties.

If you are totally against civilian deaths you could start in China and Germany.

If you are going to throw hype around at least freshen up on history a little bit.

So I'm getting closer to your real inner thoughts from your "nazi school" education. Not too far off, was I?

Perhaps an old Nazi, not a Neo.

Something for Big O to chew on while he's campaigning to keep his job. I wonder if he has the gonads to start a no-fly zone in Russia's backyard.

BEIRUT (AP)— The head of Syria's main opposition group in exile called Sunday for international powers to impose a no-fly zone in border areas to protect civilians who are coming under increasingly intense attacks by regime warplanes and helicopters.

The president of the Syrian National Council, Abdelbaset Sieda, told The Associated Press that such a move by the international community would show President Bashar Assad's regime that his opponents around the world are serious.

The Syrian opposition has been calling for a no-fly zone over Syria for months. But Sieda renewed the plea a day after U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Washington and Turkey were discussing a range of steps including a no-fly zone over some parts of Syria as the regime increasingly uses its air force to attack rebels.

"There must be special protection," Sieda said by telephone. "The numbers of martyrs are increasing and destruction too. If the country keeps going this way, then we are heading to a catastrophe."

Asked who will impose the no-fly zone, Sieda said: "We leave it to the international community."

Russia and China have vetoed attempts to pass tough U.N. Security Council resolutions aimed at Assad's regime. Last week, the U.N. and Arab League envoy to Syria, Kofi Annan, announced his resignation, following a frustrating six-month effort that failed to achieve even a temporary cease-fire.

See You at the Club: Fed Fat Cats Dip Into the Till
Fed members gave their own banks $4 trillion during bailout

By Robert Scheer

June 15, 2012 "TruthDig" -- Statistics are boring, but it’s important to wrap your head around this latest one from the Federal Reserve as the definitive epitaph for the American dream. Wall Street’s financial shenanigans, the banking games that made some fat cats outrageously wealthy as they turned home mortgages into toxic securities, wiped out 20 years of growth in American families’ net worth.

“Americans saw wealth plummet 40% from 2007 to 2010, Federal Reserve says,” is how The Washington Post headlined the startling news that all of the economic gain of the past two decades had been destroyed by the banking meltdown. And with housing values—the bulk of middle-class savings—indefinitely moribund, the situation will not get better anytime soon.

“The recession caused the greatest upheaval among the middle class,” the Post noted.“... Their median net worth ... suffered the biggest drops. By contrast, the wealthiest families’ median net worth rose slightly.”

That outcome, disastrous to the American ideal of a nation of mostly middle-class stakeholders competing on a relatively equal economic playing field, was preordained. When tens of millions lost their jobs and homes as a result of financial swindles that the Federal Reserve failed to prevent, this ostensibly public agency, with strong bipartisan support in the White House and Congress, adroitly directed the flow of public funds to save the bankers while abandoning their victims.

On Tuesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders, acting under authority of the Dodd-Frank financial regulations, released the conclusions of a Government Accountability Office report showing that ”... during the financial crisis, at least 18 former and current directors from Federal Reserve Banks worked in banks and corporations that collectively received over $4 trillion in low-interest loans from the Federal Reserve.”

One of those Fed directors, Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, who has been on the New York Fed board since 2007, testified before Congress on Wednesday that he was sorry his company lost billions in risky trading even after all of the warnings concerning too-big-to-fail banks.

(Contd.)

Dimon—whose company last year paid him $24 million, compared to the $45,800 median U.S. family income—testified that the bank could manage its own affairs. But that is hardly reassuring given that the Fed provided JPMorgan Chase $391 billion in total assistance as well as paying the bank to administer the government’s emergency lending program. It was the Fed that back in March of 2008 made $29 billion available to Dimon’s bank so it could acquire beleaguered Bear Stearns; the Fed also agreed to purchase Bear Stearns’ most toxic assets before the merger.

Such sweetheart deals are the norm, and they are further illustrated by the case of Stephen Friedman, chairman of the New York Fed board, on which Dimon serves. Friedman simultaneously was a director at Goldman Sachs when the N.Y. Fed allowed Goldman to become a bank holding company and thereby become eligible for cheap Fed loans. Thanks to a plea by then-New York Fed President Timothy Geithner that Friedman be granted a waiver from conflict-of-interest rules, he continued to own and buy additional Goldman stock. Friedman ended up with $13 million in stock whose value was bolstered by Fed assistance to Goldman totaling $814 billion. And Geithner ended up becoming President Barack Obama’s treasury secretary.

The Fed backed the bailout of Citigroup, the result of deals dreamed up by Dimon, who before his JPMorgan days had teamed with Sanford Weill to merge privately held investment firms with government-insured commercial banks, which would have been illegal under the Glass-Steagall law. Weill succeeded in getting President Bill Clinton to back the reversal of Glass-Steagall, and as a consequence Citigroup soon became too big to fail. Weill was on the Fed board on the eve of a crisis that would lead to Citigroup receiving more than $2.5 trillion in Fed financial assistance.

The GAO list includes Jeffrey Immelt, the CEO of General Electric, who was on the N.Y. Fed board from 2006 to 2011, a period during which the Fed refused to even consider a moratorium on mortgage foreclosures or any other serious effort to help homeowners survive the mortgage crisis the banks had created.

One of those banks is GE Capital, which was started by GE and was a major contributor to the banking disaster. The government came to GE’s assistance by purchasing GE Capital and giving GE an additional $16 billion in low-cost financing. Immelt, whose company now has shipped two out of three of its jobs abroad, is the head of the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.

Geithner’s stewardship of the bailout of AIG is perhaps the most egregious example of the Fed’s preoccupation with the welfare of the banks as opposed to the well-being of the ordinary folk the Federal Reserve was created to protect.

The Fed has been run like an elite club, handsomely rewarding its banker directors while sacrificing the homeowners and families who most need safeguarding.

No blood for lithium, though. Get rid of your iPhones and electric cars.

How about you? Is death by drone a particularly nasty form of torture, knowing that you were under surveillance before you got a huge hole in your chest, before being splattered all over the place? Without the due process of Guantanamo, and all.
American citizens, now, too, plus their children. We've come far.

Guantanamo is unlawful in the hands of the American Imperialists. It is part of Cuba no one else. The American Imperialists wont Guantanamo in order to have a hold (unlawful)on Cuban soil. Thats all why they cling to Guantanamo.
