CLINTON FRENCH CONNECTIONS TO GEORGE ALLEN LYNCHING
The first item below is excerpted from the Hillary Rodham Clinton,
Biography which may be found at:
http://clinton1.nara.gov/White_House/EOP/First_Lady/html/HILLARY_Bio-plain.html
"In the summer of 1994, they (Hillary Rodham Clinton and then
President Bill Clinton),traveled to Naples, Italy, again for the G-7
Summit." Whether it was at that summit, or at some other time, we
suspect that Hillary Rodham Clinton may well have met with none other
than Anne Lauvergeon. Anne Lauvergeon is listed as number eight in The
100 Most Powerful Women at:
http://www.forbes.com/lists/2006/11/06women_Anne-Lauvergeon_YTCZ.html
The Delegations of France and the United States are described below:
"G-7 Summit Naples , Italy July 8th-10th, 1994 France :
François Mitterrand, President of the Republic
Alain Juppé, Minister of Foreign Affairs
Edmond Alphandéry, Minister of the Economy
Anne Lauvergeon, Personal Representative
United States :
William J. Clinton, President
Warren Christopher, Secretary of State
Lloyd Bentsen, Secretary of the Treasury
Robert Fauver, Personal Representative"
at:
http://www.g7.utoronto.ca/summit/1994naples/delegation.html
We wonder if Anne Lauvergeon and Hillary Rodham Clinton may have met at
some function or other of something called the "Young Leaders
Program". The program is described as: "The Young Leaders is the
flagship program of the French-American Foundation and continues to be
central to the Foundation's success in deepening understanding
between France and the United States. The program was created in 1981
in response to observations that the close working relationships
between French and American leaders in the post-war period were waning
as new, younger leaders rose with little exposure to their
transatlantic counterparts. From its inception, the program has taken
small groups of carefully selected up-and-coming leaders in government,
business, the media, the military and the non-profit sector and
provided them the opportunity to spend four days discussing issues of
common concern and, most importantly, getting to know each other. The
relaxed atmosphere and the off-the-record nature of the conferences
have fostered trenchant and open discussions of policy and social
issues, and have been very successful in facilitating the development
of a new network of transatlantic leaders. The 18 meetings which have
been held since 1981 have been attended by 250 influential men and
women, many of whom have gone on to positions of significant
responsibility. Young Leaders include such prominent American as
President Clinton, Senators Bill Bradley and Hillary Clinton, General
Wesley Clark, ...as well as business leaders... On the French side,
past participants include several distinguished business leaders, such
as, Anne Lauvergeon (with Areva)...Roundtables are moderated by past
participants with relevant expertise. An emphasis is always placed on
creating an informal, frank dialogue: discussions are therefore
strictly off-the-record. The group stays together throughout the
length of the conference,with meals, free time and group activities
providing further opportunities to develop personal relationships and
networks, and promote cross-cultural understanding...."

"Iran Asks France to Oversee Enrichment
October 3rd, 2006 By ANGELA CHARLTON Associated Press Writer PARIS A
top Iranian nuclear official proposed Tuesday that France create a
consortium to enrich uranium in Iran, saying that could satisfy
international demands for outside oversight of Tehran 's nuclear
program. "To be able to arrive at a solution, we have just had an
idea. We propose that France create a consortium for the production in
Iran of enriched uranium," Mohammad Saeedi, deputy chief of Iran 's
Atomic Energy Organization, told France-Info radio."That way France ,
through the companies Eurodif and Areva, could control in a tangible
way our enrichment activities," he said.
Eurodif is a branch of Areva, a French state-controlled nuclear
manufacturer, and was created in part with Iranian backing in the
1970s."...European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana gave a
cautious response to the proposal, saying the idea of a consortium had
long been discussed in his talks with Larijani. "It's an
interesting thing, but it's difficult to put it in place," Solana
said on the sidelines of an EU defense ministers' meeting in Finland
.Iranian state television, in a commentary Tuesday, said the proposal
amounted to a "a test ... to assess the extent of the French
government's realism and flexibility." It said timing of the
proposal following talks between Larijani and Solana "shows Iran 's
determination in seeking a negotiated settlement" over Tehran 's
nuclear activities....Iran's participation in Eurodif was reduced
after the 1979 revolution, and now Iran has a "purely financial"
stake of about 11 percent through a joint French-Iranian company called
Sofidif, Hufnagel said."

"It was hardly a secret that Saddam was aiming to develop nuclear
weapons. He ahd already shelled out $3 billion, purchasing much of the
equipment from the french. Indeed Saddam had even given an interview to
a Lebanese journalist in 1975 in which he called his dealilngs with
France "the first concrete step toward the production of the Arab
atomic weapon."

"Although Saddam had been obtaining most of his arms from the Soviet
Union since the early 1970s, the top of the line equipment he really
craved was Western. So he had begun cultivating the Europeans,
especially the French, and in September 1975 he found himself flying
into Paris for a champagne reception offered by Prime Mnister Jacques
Chirac. It was not long before France, which saw billions of francs
worth of business just over the horizon, began selling Saddam missiles,
helicopters, defense electronics, and ultimately the materials and
technology he needed to construct a nuclear reactor. So obvious was his
intended use of this technology that the French press even allowed
itself some grim humor, referring to the Iraqi reactor as
"O'Chirac" . After he apporved the Osirak deal and other weapons
transactions for Baghdad, he became known in certain French business
circles as "Mr.Iraq."

"Allivane did not discriminate between the two combatants in the
Iran-Iraq war. Back in 1983, it had signed up as a subcontractor for
Luchaire, a French company that was selling the popular 155-mm shell to
Iran. The Luchaire sales, based on false end-user certificates, were
appproved at cabinet level in Paris and contradicted France's
officially stated policy of neutrality. When they became public, they
caused a political fracas."

OF HOW THE WHITE HOUSE ILLEGALLY ARMED IRAQ by Alan Friedman ASIN:

"If Baghdad's nuclear weapons ambitions were acknowledged by London
and Washington at the same time they were officially condemmed by them,
the same was true of Iraqi chemical weapons development. The Iraqis
would frequently order BNL to provide funds to finance a huge
petrochemicals complex called PC2, located above seventy kilometers
south of Baghdad, near the natural gas feeder lines that came from the
southern oil fields. PC2 was to be the pride of the Iraqi military
establishment because it had the support of contractors from the United
States, Japan, Italy, France and Britain. More significant, as Western
intelligence agents knew, although PC2 would manufacture normal
petrochemicals upon completion, like many of Saddam's disquised
operations, it would be dual-use. This meant it would be able to
generate chemical compounds needed to make mustard gas and nerve gas as
well. The head of Iraq's chemicals industry, Lieutenant General Amer
Hamoudi al Saadi, was proud of PC2. Al Saadi was himself a dual
operative-his other job was as head of Saddam's ballistic missile and
chemical weapons programs, reporting to Hussein Kamel and his
father-in-law, Saddam Hussein."
One focus of this post is the alleged French connection in the George

A former Marine's favorite books on the military.

Hell In a Very Small Place" by Bernard Fall (Lippincott, 1966). For
anyone who believes that France's Dien Bien Phu operation in Vietnam
in 1954 was little more than a blunder, and for anyone who believes
that the French were not capable fighters in Vietnam, this
comprehensive and often surprising nonfiction account of the siege that
brought France to its knees will be a deserved surprise. Bernard Fall,
the Frenchman who was the most perceptive observer of Vietnam's shaky
march away from French colonialism, wrote several books about Vietnam;
he was killed while on a patrol with the U.S. Marines in 1966. This
book-his best-shows us the under appreciated complexities of that
war, the regional issues that drove many local decisions and the tragic
heroism of France's finest fighting forces.

Given the Webb campaign's history of "alleged" anti-Semitism we
were hardly surprised by Webb's choice of another favorite book, this
one from the perspective of one of Hitler's soldiers.
Here is Webb commenting on another of his favorite books:
"The Forgotten Soldier" by Guy Sajer (Harper & Row, 1971). This
memoir from the perspective of one who fought on the German side in
World War II is probably the most overwhelming book ever written about
ground combat. Guy Sajer, an Alsatian drafted into the German army,
fought for three years as an infantry soldier, mostly on the Russian
front. Germany fielded an army of 12 million soldiers and lost 3.7
million combat dead, a preponderance of those casualties occurring in
the mind-boggling, massive engagements with the Soviets. Sajer, who had
no politics and little enthusiasm for soldiering, nonetheless demands
an understanding of the immensity of this human experience, and is the
perfect voice to ask for it."

"Francois Mitterrand's political career spanned half a century, and
his 14 years as president made him France 's longest serving leader
since Napoleon III. Peter Morgan of Independent Television News
remembers Mitterrand just after his death. Morgan's report precedes a
discussion between Washington Post senior foreign correspondent Jim
Hoagland and Charlayne Hunter-Gault.
PETER MORGAN, ITN: Francois Mitterrand worked at first for Marshal
Petain's pro-Nazi Vichy government. Later, he downplayed his ties
with that regime and stressed his work for the Resistance. FRANCOIS
MITTERRAND: (speaking through interpreter) I started my political life
in the Resistance. It was there that I had my first responsibility.
PETER MORGAN: But a recently discovered photograph showing Mitterrand
with Marshal Petain suggested a more uncomfortable truth. Mitterrand
continued to lead a political double life, cultivating the extreme
right and the extreme left to further his career. Soon after the
liberation, Mitterrand joined the government as its youngest minister,
but when DeGaulle returned to power in 1958, Mitterrand left the
government. In political exile, the former conservative discovered
Socialism. DeGaulle always ridiculed the conversion."
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/remember/mitterrand_1-8b.html "A
recent biography revealed Mitterrand flirted with fascism as a young
man and was also, for a time, an admirer of the pro-Nazi
collaborationist leader Marchal Petain. Mitterrand himself helped the
author's research and never disavowed the facts presented in the
biography." http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9601/mitterand/ "Even in
death, Mitterrand remains a controversial and contradictory figure.
After the Nazi conquest of France , he spent a year working for the
collaborationist Vichy government... he defended associates who had
aided the persecution of Jews under the Vichy regime."

Bitter Scent : The Case of L'Oreal, Nazis, and The Arab Boycott
Michael Bar-Zohar Publisher Information:
New York : Dutton. Penguin, 1996.
ISBN: 0525940685
"The business of L'Oreal is beauty. It is the world's largest
cosmetics firm." This startling book shows the other face of beauty.
It is the story of how this giant company became a haven for ex-Nazis.
It reveals the illegal alliance the L'Oreal forged with the Arab
Boycott Bureau. And it brings to light the secret link between the
L'Oreal high command and the President of France himself, Francois
Mitterrand-a link cast in the darkness of the Nazi past. Above all,
it tells the story of what happened when L'Oreal partner Jean
Frydman, a former French Resistance hero who had fought against
anti-Semitism all his life, stumbled upon and exposed the shocking
truth about L'Oreal and its web of concealed Nazi collaborators.
Making it his crusade to unmask the cosmetics firm's long history of
Nazi connections, Frydman filed suit against L'Oreal for forgery,
perjury, and racial discrimination. "Though the Nazi movement of the
1930s and 1940s appears to be moribund, vestiges still remain-and in
some unlikely places. Official biographer of David Ben-Gurion and
novelist, Bar-Zohar documents the very strange truth of how certain top
L'Oreal managers collaborated with Hitler and how they conspired to
eradicate an existing Arab boycott on their products in the 1990s. The
story begins-and ends-with Jean Frydman, a French-Israeli executive
running one of the cosmetic giant's subsidiaries. Told to resign for
no apparently valid reason, Frydman launched a series of investigations
and lawsuits that eventually led to the resignations of high-ranking
businessmen. Jacques Correze, the president of L'Oreal's Cosmair in
New York City , was part of La Cagoule, a band of Hitler sympathizers;
and Andre Bettencourt, a L'Oreal director and friend of French
president Mitterrand, was found to have been on the payroll of the
propaganda ministry of Nazi Germany. Revelations such as these shocked
the world press-and will probably do the same for readers in this
well-wrought, fact-filled book."
Library Journal: "Bar-Zohar. a specialist on Jewish-Arab relations,
presents another masterpiece (previously published in Israel ) about
the corruptions and violations of France 's anti-boycott laws by
L'Oreal, a giant French conglomerate, with the 'zealous cooperation
of the French embassy in Damascus ' and other important French
dignitaries. Bar-Zohar relates how L'Oreal yielded to the Arab
boycott of Israeli products, which started even before the birth of the
state of Israel . He also gives a fascinating look into France 's
murky past during World War II, following the complex story of
President Francois Mitterand's right-wing connections during his
youth, activities as an official of the Petain government at Vichy ,
and his continued and shadowy ties with top L'Oreal executives. The
author also delves into the shadowy past of L'Oreal owner Andre
Bettencourt, a cabinet minister, senator, and recipient of the
Resistance medal who was on the payroll of the Propaganda Ministry of
Nazi Germany. Bar-Zohar's work is richly detailed and clearly argued
but not well documented. It is a remarkable work designed for
nonspecialists."
Publishers Weekly: "In 1989, Jean Frydman, a director of L'Oreal,
the highly profitable Paris-based cosmetics conglomerate, learned he
had "resigned" at a board of directors meeting that never actually
took place. A hero of the French Resistance, founder of Paravision (a
L'Oreal subsidiary), a Jew and a part-time resident of Israel ,
Frydman suspected that his resignation had been forged to meet the
demands of the Arab League, which, at that time, was enforcing an
illegal ban in both France and the U.S. on businesses with ties to
Israel . He later began to suspect that the instigator of his removal
was Jacques Correze, a former Nazi collaborator and convicted war
criminal who was head of the company's U.S. operation.
The ensuing lawsuits created a scandal in France . As retold by Bar-
Zohar, a novelist and a biographer of David Ben-Gurion, L'Oreal was
a hotbed of former Nazi sympathizers all too willing to bribe and be
pressured by anti-Zionists. It also had friends in high places, Bar-
Zohar claims, as high as French President Francois Mitterand."

"Trouble With Uranium Processing Co. H. Josef Hebert
Associated Press April 11, 2000 WASHINGTON (AP) - Less than two years
after the government sold its uranium business, the private company it
created to take on the job is mired in financial quicksand. The deal is
also jeopardizing a crucial nuclear security agreement with Russia ,
critics say. USEC Inc.'s (NYSE:USU -news) first 20 months as a
private company have been anything but smooth. Its stock has dropped 70
percent, its credit rating is in junk bond territory, and its earnings
have nose dived. Amid the financial turmoil, lawmakers and others are
questioning the sale. A congressional investigation has been under way
for a year, with the first public hearings scheduled this week. While
investors have lost millions of dollars, some of the people who pushed
hardest for an initial stock offering have profited handsomely.
"A number of lobbyists, company insiders and investment bankers made
a killing financially," said Charles Lewis, director of the Center
for Public Integrity, a private government watchdog.
In all, Wall Street bankers, Washington lawyers and lobbyists - many
with close ties to the Clinton administration - earned more than $75
million on the $1.9 billion sale, according to contracts and
interviews. Among those talking up the stock offering in 1998 on
Capitol Hill and in the White House were Susan Thomases, a New York
lawyer and confidante of Hillary Rodham Clinton, and Greg Simon,
formerly Vice President Al Gore's domestic policy adviser. The law
firm of Skadden Arps, which represented President Clinton in the Paula
Jones case, was USEC's lead attorney in the deal."

"What Wilson Didn't Say About Africa Joseph Wilson's Silent
Partners By Fedora with help from a few FReeper friends Former
ambassador Joseph Wilson has been a leading spokesman for critics who
accuse President Bush of basing his case for war against Iraq on forged
documents purporting that Iraq attempted to buy uranium from Niger.
Wilson's charge has been discredited by a Senate investigation,1 but
what
remains unanswered are questions arising from what is now known
about French
intelligence's role...The role of France and Wilson in undermining
Bush's case
for war looks particularly curious in light of disclosures about
Saddam
Hussein's bribery of foreign political and business figures during
the course of
the Oil-for-Food program from 1996 to 2003. Saddam's web of graft
spun in many
directions: among others, to UN officials,Russian and Chinese oil
companies,
British critics of Tony Blair's Iraq policies, and US critics of
President
Bush's Iraq policies, as well as France. Near the center of the web
was the
Banque Nationale de Paris, where Iraq's Oil-for-Food revenues were
initially
kept until 2001, when they were redistributed among several
undisclosed banks
approved by Iraq. Meanwhile French oil company TotalFinaElf received
Oil-for-Food vouchers and held a contract to develop oil fields in
southern
Iraq.2
Already in December 2001, Russia had announced it would not support a
US attack on Iraq.3 Then shortly after President Bush's January 29,
2002 State of the Union Address named Iraq as a member of a
terrorist-sponsoring "Axis of Evil", France announced on February
22, 2002 that Europe would not support a US attack on Iraq.4 French
intelligence soon began a campaign to discredit the US case for war
against Iraq. In 1999, French intelligence had begun investigating the
security of uranium supplies in Niger, where uranium production was
controlled by a consortium led by the French mining company COGEMA, a
division of the French state-owned nuclear energy firm AREVA.
Wilson, a lifetime Francophile, had spent the bulk of his diplomatic
career in former French African colonies like Niger.7 His second wife
from 1986 to 1998, Jacqueline, had served the French embassy in Burundi
as a "cultural counselor" (a function often used as a cover by
French intelligence).8 From Wilson's experience in Niger he was
familiar with the Niger uranium industry. Additionally, he had worked
in Iraq during the days leading up to the Gulf War. (Intriguingly, on
the eve of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait Wilson had dined at the home of
an arms dealer who bought weapons for Iraq from France; a Vanity Fair
profile on Wilson mentions his wife's presence at this event, but
Wilson's book states "I was the only guest.").9 Wilson ran his
company out of the offices of an investment company called Rock Creek
Corporation. Rock Creek was controlled by Mohammed Alamoudi, whom
Wilson had met in 1997 at a reception organized for the World Bank by
Westar Group. Alamoudi was a member of the Saudi-Ethiopian Alamoudi
dynasty, which was heavily invested in the segments of the African
economy Wilson was seeking to penetrate. The Alamoudi-affiliated
company Delta Services-a Swiss subsidiary of the Saudi company Delta
Oil-handled Iraqi oil export contracts in 2000 and 2001 and was
revealed in 2003 as a recipient of Iraqi Oil-for-Food vouchers
channeled through Abu Abbas, a Palestinian terrorist with Iraqi
connections. Delta Services also cooperated with Afghanistan's
Taliban regime in a project to build an oil pipeline from Afghanistan
to Pakistan, prior to this project's suspension in 1998. In 1999,
Alamoudi was accused by USA Today reporter Jack Kelley of heading a
bank which was being investigated for financing Al Qaeda. USA Today
printed retractions of several details in Kelley's article in 2004,
after another member of the Alamoudi family-Abdurahman Alamoudi, a
prominent American Muslim lobbyist-was indicted on terror-related
charges involving a Libyan-backed conspiracy to assassinate Saudi
Arabia's Crown Prince Abdullah.
Abdurahman was ultimately convicted in October 2004 and sentenced to
23 years in prison.12 Under Mohammed Alamoudi's direction, Rock
Creek was chaired by Elias Aburdene, an Arab-American international
banking advisor and lobbyist who had previously advised banks linked
to organized crime and intelligence community figures involved in
the S&L Scam. In 2003 and 2004 Aburdene donated to the Sandhills
Political Action Committee, which was affiliated with Senator Chuck
Hagel, 13 a leading Republican critic of the Bush administration's
Iraq policy.14
While Wilson was pursuing his foreign investment ventures, he also
served as a foreign policy advisor to the 2000 Presidential campaign of
Al Gore. A company the Gore family had a long-term relationship with,
Occidental Petroleum, shared business interests with
Alamoudi-affiliated companies in Africa and the Middle East, and
employed as Vice President for Middle East business Odeh Aburdene,24
who shared a complex network of relationships with Rock Creek's Elias
Aburdene and Joseph Wilson-notably, all three contributed to
Arab-American Congressional Caucus leader Nick Rahall,25 who supported
Muslim lobbying groups linked to terrorists and opposed military action
in Iraq.26 Abdurahman Alamoudi also contributed to Rahall, and sat on
the steering committee of Arab Americans for Clinton/Gore '96 along
with his associate James Zogby, who later advised Gore's 2000
Presidential campaign.27 Wilson had worked as an aide to Gore from 1985
to 1986 and had developed a friendly relationship with him.
Wilson says Gore was the first person outside the State Department
to contact him expressing support when he was caught in Iraq in the
middle of the diplomatic crisis leading up to the Gulf War. In 1997
Gore recommended Wilson to President Clinton to help him plan a trip
to Africa. When Wilson began publicly opposing Bush's Iraq policy in
2002, Gore was still considered a potential candidate in the 2004
election. Gore's speeches were then being sponsored by the antiwar
group Moveon.org, which Wilson would support in September 2003 in an
attempt to petition Congress against appropriating funds for Iraq
operations.28 Moveon.org was financed by billionaire George Soros,29
who had business interests encompassing, among other things, the BTC
Pipeline that Mohammed Alamoudi's Delta Oil was helping build.30
Later, after Gore announced in December 2002 that he would not be
running in the 2004 campaign,31 Moveon.org began supporting John
Kerry's campaign.32 Wilson began advising Kerry's campaign on
foreign policy matters around May 2003, several months prior to his
public entry into the Niger uranium controversy.33
Another question that might be raised is why Wilson and the CIA's
investigation did not explore at least the possibility of the
French-led company COGEMA covertly allowing Niger to sell uranium to
Iraq.
In Wilson's book, while explaining the method that led him to
conclude the report of Niger selling uranium to Iraq was false,
Wilson explains that he ruled out the possibility of an off-the-
books transaction partly because "COGEMA, as the managing partner,
would have had to know and be complicit."37 This seems to rule out a
priori the very thing Wilson was sent to investigate, and in the
process, to rule out the possibility of French complicity in arming
Saddam Hussein's regime, which seems a hasty exoneration in light of
the fact that France had a long history of selling Iraq military
equipment and resisting UN sanctions against Iraq.38 It is now known

We thought you might wish to find out a bit more about C.A.I.R. from
"Daniel Pipes, a former Reagan administration Middle East aide who
now runs the Middle East Forum in Philadelphia and the wonderfully
informative Web site DanielPipes.org: Mr. Pipes says:
"CAIR is a particularly worrisome organization because it has
succeeded in portraying itself as a public affairs organization
promoting 'interest and understanding among the general public with
regards to Islam and Muslims in North America.' In fact, this
organization is radical to the core; it seeks nothing less than the
imposition of Islamist mores on the United States." Mr. Pipes notes
that CAIR's record includes the following: "Apologizing for such
killers as Hamas (a group associated with the murder of 7 Americans)
and Usama bin Ladin (charged with the Tanzania and Kenya embassy
bombings a year ago). . . . Helping promote terrorism: In the words of
Steve Pomerantz, a former Chief of Counter-terrorism for the FBI,
'CAIR, its leaders, and its activities, effectively give aid to
international terrorist groups.' . . . Intimidation of patriotic
Muslims who disagree with CAIR's chauvinist agenda: In one case
(Sheikh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani), the FBI is looking into charges that
he received death threats after renouncing the chauvinists. . .
Defense of even the most archaic and barbaric of customs associated
with Islam: When a prosecutor in Cleveland argued that the bail of two
young men being held for an 'honor killing' of their female cousin
should be increased, CAIR replied by accusing him of 'ethnic and
religious stereotyping' and called for a formal investigation into
the prosecutor's actions." In addition, as anti-terrorism expert
Steven Emerson has noted in Congressional testimony, CAIR co-sponsored
a May 24, 1998, all-day program in the Walt Whitman Auditorium of
Brooklyn College in Brooklyn, New York. As Mr. Emerson testified, "In
Arabic,Wagdi Ghuniem, a militant Islamic cleric from Egypt, mesmerized
his audience, with his relentless tirade against the Jews, reminding
them of the Jews' 'infidelity,' 'stealth' and 'deceit.'
Known for his folksy deliveries and exhortations to commit violence
against the Jews, Ghuniem did not disappoint his crowd, several of whom
had come just to hear him. The conflict with the Jews, he said, was not
over land but one of religion. 'The problem of Palestine is not a
problem of belief. suppose the Jews said "Palestine-you [Muslims] can
take it." Would it then be ok? What would we tell them? No! The
problem is belief, it is not a problem of land.'" Mr. Emerson
continued: "Ghuniem then led his rapt audience, which numbered as
many as 500, in a special song, the audience responsively repeating
each refrain: 'No to the Jews, Descendants of the Apes.'" Says
Mr. Pipes: "In short, CAIR represents not the great civilization of
Islam but a radical utopian movement originating in the Middle East
that seeks to impose its ways on the United States. Americans should
consider themselves warned: a new danger exists in their midst."
Relatively speaking, in a manner of speaking we do not know if Senator
George Allen's opponent in the 2006 US Senate race James Webb is

itself:
National Conference for Community and Justice (NCCJ)
http://www.nccj.org/nccj/nccj.nsf/articleall/4499?
opendocument
that organization states:
"The National Conference of Christians and Jews, changed its name in
the 1990's to better reflect its mission to build whole and inclusive
communities. The historic name confused many, who believed that NCCJ
was an interfaith organization. Therefore the new name is not a change
in vision, but rather an affirmation of our abiding commitment to
embrace the diversity of our nation. NCCJ is the only national human
relations organization that focuses on a broad range of "isms," the
multiple manifestations of discrimination and oppression that are based
on one's religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, bias crimes to
racial profiling - the challenges ahead are real. To confront and
overcome them, NCCJ maintains an abiding commitment to work with
decision-makers and leaders to support their work to build an inclusive
society." Now all of these things are of course worthy goals. Medical
research is admirable, so is fighting the ills of tobacco, although
Webb himself admits to being someone who has chewed tobacco for many
years, and certainly fighting discrimination of any sort is a worthy
goal. It is the interesting cross connections between the characters
involved in the character assassination and overall lynching of Senator
Allen that lead us to believe that there are just too many coincidences
involved to be pure coincidence. However, to paraphrase Fox News once
again, "We report, you decide!" What do you think of the so-called

Recall if you will Doctor Ken Shelton. Dr. Who? No not the British
science fiction series time traveler in any of his many incarnations.
Doctor Ken Shelton is the man we firmly believe is lying. Of course
lies are nothing new to Saddam's Saddemocrats. Recall if you will the
2004 fake Dan Rather memo falsely accusing President Bush on his
National Guard record. The Big Lie is nothing new to these people. They
are masters of The Big Lie. We think Shelton is falsely accusing
Virginia Republican US Senator George Allen. We believe that what
Shelton is saying is absolutely untrue. "During a deer hunt with
Allen in the early 1970s" Shelton lied, "Allen asked whether black
families lived in the area before stuffing a female deer's head into
the mail box of a black household. "George insisted on taking the
severed head, and I was a little shocked by that," Shelton lied.
"This was just after the movie 'The Godfather' came out with the
severed horse's head in the bed," Shelton lied to the AP. Doug
Jones, who said he roomed with Shelton at Virginia, said in a
statement that he never saw or heard anything from Allen that supports
Shelton 's claims. "I never heard George Allen use any racially
disparaging word nor did I ever witness or hear about him acting in a
racially insensitive manner," Jones said."
Please pay particular attention to the following item in the article
below in which Senator Warner is comparing the invitation to the 50th
birthday party for Larry Sabato to Marlon Brando's "offer you
can't refuse".
Surely that line must have stuck with Larry Sabato.
Larry Sabato must have remembered that line.
"U.S. Senator John Warner, R-Va., compared the invitation to Marlon
Brando's "offer you can't refuse."
In case you are not a fan of The Godfather, which starred Marlon
Brando Senator Warner's 2002 reference was to Marlon Brando's
character Don Vito Corleone, The Godfather," Don Vito's line,
"I'm
going to make him an offer he can't refuse" was voted as the second
most memorable line in cinema history in a 2005 poll"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Godfather
The reference is to a character being pressured by The Godfather to use
a film star favored by The Godfather waking up to find the severed head
of a horse in his bed.
item immediately below is excerpted from the Wednesday, October
23rd,
2002 issue of a publication called THE CAVALIER DAILY
"Life
Birthday Bashing
Politicians, professors and students gather to celebrate Larry J.
Sabato's 50th birthday and raise money for the Center for Politics...
Katie
Sullivan , Cavalier Daily Associate Editor
... Clearly, these people could only have gathered for one reason-to
celebrate Politics Prof. Larry J. Sabato's 50th birthday. Virginia
politicians, political analysts, journalists and University students
and alumni gathered Monday night in the Richmond Marriot to wish Sabato
a happy birthday... a few prominent Virginia politicians humorously
chose to light something else on fire-Sabato's reputation.
The celebration, called the "Sabato Five-O," took the form of a
roast a la Comedy Central. The event also served as a fundraiser for
The University of Virginia Center for Politics, of which Sabato serves
as director.
The Center for Politics, located on Old Ivy Road ...After the crowd
made its way
into the dining room, former Virginia
Gov. L. Douglas Wilder introduced himself as emcee of the night's
festivities, and proceeded to introduce a video, much like those shown
at bachelor parties.
The video started out with photos of Sabato's youth, then moved to
doctored photographs including Sabato as Elvis and an onlooker in
the fateful photograph of former President Clinton and Monica
Lewinsky. ...The program then gave six of Virginia 's most powerful
politicians
the opportunity to poke fun at a man who, as he himself claimed, has
predicted defeat for every one of them.... Virginia Attorney General
Jerry Kilgore
spoke about Sabato's ability
to state the obvious and make it sound profound, then joked about
Sabato's abundance of media exposure.
"He spends so much time in front of the camera lights," Kilgore
said, "that when he opens his fridge at night he speaks for three
minutes."... U.S. Senator George Allen, R-Va., cited a need to keep
Sabato off their backs.
"There are places we'd rather be," Allen said. "But we didn't
want to cross the good professor."
U.S. Senator John Warner, R-Va., compared the invitation to Marlon
Brando's "offer you can't refuse."
...Allen mentioned budgets cuts facing the University as well, and,
indicating Warner, said, "If he cuts your budget next year, Larry,
put it in your file as something mean a Democrat did to you." Allen,
who attended the University as an undergraduate with Sabato, remembered
Sabato's beginnings as a student who wanted to fight the power of
special interest groups.
"Then I see this gathering," Allen said. "You make Hillary
Clinton look like a pike."
Other commentary centered on Sabato's role as a professor...
Politics Prof. Larry J. Sabato covers his face in embarassment as U.S.
Senator George Allen teases Sabato about his excessive on-camera time.

Here is an excerpt from the bio of one George Beam:
"George Beam Senior Vice President, Nuclear Services AREVA NP Inc.
George Beam is currently Senior Vice President of Nuclear Services for
AREVA NP Inc. Beam started his career as a Reactor Engineer at the
Oconee Nuclear Station in 1977. After two years, he left to attend
business school,after which he started work at Babcock & Wilcox in its
Nuclear Services business in 1981. He initially started out on staff as
a Strategic Planner, followed by several assignments in Business
Development/Marketing for Steam Generator and Reactor Services. In
1992, Beam became the General Manager for the Plant Services business
responsible for all field services performed by B&W Nuclear
Technologies, excluding steam generator services. In 1998, he was
promoted to Vice President, Steam Generator Services. Beam received a
Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Math and Computer Science from
the University of Virginia , a Master of Science in Nuclear Engineering
from N.C. State , and a Master of Business Administration from the
University of Virginia . He is a registered professional engineer in
the state of Virginia ." source:
http://www.areva-bp.com/scripts/us/publigen/content/templates/show.asp?
PS0&L=US&SYNC=Y
You may have heard of George Beam, currently Senior Vice President of
Nuclear Services for AREVA NP Inc., recently Writing about the
imaginary deer hunt, which was really a hunt that never happened
DALE EISMAN, wrote in The Virginian-Pilot on September 28, 2006 about
one "George Beam, now an executive at a nuclear engineering firm
based in Lynchburg,(Virginia)."
Beam, wrote Eisman: "was not part of the hunting party." Which is
of course true because there was no hunt and no hunting party to begin
with.
Eisman writes that Beam " told the Associated Press that one of the
hunters, his now-deceased roommate, Bill Lanahan, described the
incident to him later over a beer. "Billy Lanahan told me they cut
the head off a deer and stuffed it in a mailbox. He didn't say whose
idea it was, and he didn't say, at least not in my presence, anything
about a black family or a black neighborhood,"
In our opinion Beam lied to the AP.
Eisman's article continued: "Allen insisted Monday that "The deer
head story is... pure fabrication, absolutely false." The senator and
several of his former classmates also have denied allegations that he
routinely used the "n" word to refer to blacks.
Beam did not return several calls Wednesday from The
Virginian-Pilot...Dick Wadhams, Allen's campaign manager, insisted
Wednesday that there is no evidence to support Shelton 's claim and
called Shelton and Beam "sad and pathetic" for bringing Lanahan,
who died earlier this year, into the dispute. "The incident did not
occur. This gentleman is just piling on to a false story," he said of
Beam, adding later that "I have no idea why he would do it."
(The fabricated "hunt" allegedly)
the article being quoted continues:
"took place on land owned by Lanahan's family in Louisa County ,
east of Charlottesville. Maj. Donald Lowe of the Louisa Sheriff's
Department said Wednesday that a search this week of department records
failed to produce any evidence of a complaint concerning a deer's
head....Lowe said the sheriff's department also has interviewed
several deputies from the early 1970s as well as with black community
leaders at the time. None recalled any complaint concerning a deer's
head....

http://home.hamptonroads.com/stories/story.cfm? story 1765&ran!065
We do not believe Areva Senior Vice President George Beam's story
about the imaginary "deer hunt".
Here is Beam being quoted on August 2, 2006
AREVA wins contract for replacement reactor vessel head project at
Diablo Canyon power plant...AREVA, through its subsidiary AREVA NP, has
received a contract from Pacific Gas & Electric Company for two
replacement reactor vessel heads at the Diablo Canyon Power Plant Units
One and Two. "The replacement Reactor Vessel Closure Head (RVCH)
project is particularly exciting because we are working with AREVA to
fabricate RVCHs in the United States for the first time in many
years." "A replacement reactor vessel head with a state-of-the-art
integrated head assembly is one of the best economic options for a
commercial nuclear utility to choose in today's cost and safety
conscious environment to ensure continued operational safety as well as
guarantee shorter outage durations and less cumulative personnel dose
in the future. AREVA looks forward to working with PG&E to provide
clean, safe, cost effective nuclear power for years to come" said
George Beam, Senior Vice President of AREVA NP Inc."
The axis of evil certainly figures into this story. Whether it is Iran,
Iraq or North Korea.
"Reprocessing is the chemical separation of the spent fuel into its
three parts-plutonium, uranium, and highly radioactive reactor
waste. Several countries have the capability to reprocess North
Korea's spent fuel, but only two-the United Kingdom and
France -have companies that offer commercial reprocessing services.\3
These
companies also have direct experience in reprocessing magnox fuel-the
type of
fuel used in
North Korea 's 5-MW(e) reactor.\4 Two companies provide commercial
reprocessing
services-British Nuclear Fuels plc. (BNFL) of the
United Kingdom and Cogema of France-and both have expressed interest
in
reprocessing North Korea's spent fuel.\5 If either of these companies
is
selected to do the reprocessing, under normal circumstances, the
repackaged
spent fuel would be picked up, transported to the company's
reprocessing
facility, and placed in interim storage until it is reprocessed.
Neither company
would normally take title to the spent fuel or the
products of reprocessing so, unless other arrangements are made, the
separated materials would be stored for up to 5 years and,
eventually, returned to the country of origin. The specific terms of
the commercial arrangement would be defined in a contract between the
parties. According to BNFL, other matters-such as ownership and
liability for the fuel after its removal-would be defined in letters
between the governments. According to BNFL, reprocessing
North Korea 's spent fuel would result in approximately 25 kilograms
of
plutonium, 50,000 kilograms of uranium, and 160 liters (one canister)
of
high-level waste. If the spent fuel is reprocessed, the separated
plutonium and
uranium would
be purified and converted into stable compounds that can be safely
stored until final disposal.\6 The separated uranium and plutonium
could be used as fuel for a nuclear power reactor. If not used as
fuel, the plutonium would be disposed of in an underground
radioactive waste repository, and the uranium would be stored for its
economic value and potential use. The radioactive waste would be
mixed with melted glass and poured into a steel canister to harden-a
process called vitrification-and eventually disposed of in an
underground repository.\7
BNFL representatives estimated that it would cost between $50 million
to $100 million to transport and reprocess
North Korea 's spent fuel,
treat the waste, and store the resulting products for up to 5
years.\8 In addition to the cost of reprocessing, costs would also be
incurred for the final disposal of the plutonium and the one canister
of radioactive waste in an underground repository. We could not
determine the costs of disposing of these materials because, among
other factors, the disposal location and the cost of preparing the
materials for disposal are not known.\9"

We firmly believe Senator Allen's denial of the deer head story.
How it was fabricated. Who fabricated it, remains to be seen.

"Angry Hillary threw book at Secret Service agent
First lady hit her limo driver in back for allegedly
'eavesdropping'
on chat
June 7, 2003 By Paul Sperry WorldNetDaily.com
WASHINGTON - In a fit of rage, former first lady Hillary Clinton
threw a book at a Secret Service agent, hitting him in the back as he
was driving her here in a limousine during the 1996 campaign, former
Secret Service officers and agents tell WorldNetDaily.
She accused the plainclothes agent of "eavesdropping" on her
conversation with another passenger in the back seat of the limo, the
agents say. The missile she hurled was a painful message for him to
mind his own business.
Hillary Rodham Clinton
"The book hit him in the back, and it wasn't lobbed - she was
angry," said a retired uniformed Secret Service officer familiar with
the incident.
"She was under the impression that he was eavesdropping on her
conversation," he
added. "Here he's the driver, but he was eavesdropping? I don't
know
how you get
around that."
He said there was no center divider in her vehicle.
"It was in a limo," he said. "There's no separation in hers,
not the
one she was
in." The veteran officer, who helped coordinate security in advance
of President
Clinton's trips, says the book was in the back of the limo. "It was
something
that she was carrying."
Cadillac limousine used by first lady in 1995.
He said both Clintons viewed Secret Service personnel as "Republican
spies," since many of them worked in the previous Republican
administrations. And they were "very skeptical of us."
Another retired Secret Service veteran, a plainclothes agent assigned
to Clinton's security detail, corroborated the book-throwing account.
"Yeah, it's true," he said, without elaborating.
Though retired from the service, both White House veterans have found
jobs in the Homeland Security Department, and they asked that their
names be withheld.
Attempts to reach the driver assigned to Hillary's protective detail,
also retired from the service and working in another federal agency,
were unsuccessful.
A Washington Metro Police detective also recalled hearing of the
incident at the time, adding that the former first lady "was pretty
sh-ty to the Secret Service guys." Phone calls to Clinton's
office were not returned. The New York senator is on a book tour.
The Secret Service officer who did presidential advance said she often
spoke in "unacceptable language to officers and to agents."
He said the lack of respect stemmed in large part from an overriding
suspicion allegedly held by the Clintons that agents doubled as
Republican plants, relaying dirt to the first couple's political
enemies. Cutting security posts "When they came into office, because
the Republicans were in for so long, they thought everybody in the
Secret Service was a Republican spy," said the Secret Service
veteran, who calls himself an Independent. Soon after they took over
the White House, the Clintons had agents removed from sensitive areas
and permanently eliminated their posts, he says.
"They requested specific posts be removed so that agents in the
uniformed division were out of earshot of the conversations," he
said. "For instance, inside the mansion itself, I know of at least
two [posts] that were relocated," the former agent added. "One was
relocated away from the residence; one was relocated away from the Oval
Office." He said Secret Service brass told agents to keep an
"arm's distance," as much as they could, from the Clintons.
"Even on details, they wanted us where we weren't visible," he
said. "We were all spies, all spies. I mean, it was a big joke,"
he said. "We were giving each other secret names, like 'Agent X,
it's time for you to be relieved from your post for right now,' as
if we were Soviet agents or something." ...
Her alleged book-throwing tantrum does not fit the cool and controlled
demeanor the freshman senator conveys in public.
But early in the Clinton administration, Newsweek reported that Hillary
had thrown a lamp at the president in a fit of anger. She later denied
the incident took place while suggesting, ironically, that the Secret
Service spread the story."
We of course were not there to witness any of the alleged lamp or book
or Bible throwings by Hillary Rodham Clinton.
We turn our attention now to the person who,in a manner of speaking,
wrote A book, if not THE book, on poltical "dirty tricks" none
other than Larry Sabato.

" France had begun supplying Iraq with arms in 1967 and continued
until early 1990, by which time it had overtaken China as Baghdad 's
second-largest supplier after the Soviet Union . The inventory of items
supplied during thirteen years is lengthy. In addition to Mystere and
Mirage fighters, it includes Alouette, Gazelle, Puma and Super Frelon
helicopters supplied by Aerospatiale; HOT and Milan anti-tank missiles
and Exocet AM-39 and MM -40 anti-ship missiles from Euromissile; as
well as AMX -10-P mechanized combat vehicles and AMX-30 main battle
tanks supplied by GIAT. Other French companies who have supplied
weapons and equipment to Baghdad include Panhard, Thompson-Brandt,
Matra, Thomson CSF, Lucaire, COFRAS, Raclet, Matra Manurhin Defense and
Lacroix."
Excerpted from Page 139
"In 1980, shortly after declaring war on Iran , the Iraqis had turned
to France in desperation after Baghdad itself was subjected to air
raids. Saddam Hussein had been advised, byl former generals of the
deposed Shah's imperial army, that the Iranians were desperately
short of trained pilots and that those who had previously served the
Shah would, if permitted to fly, take off and not return to Iran . In
fact, this was totally incorrect and it was a grave miscalculation on
Saddam Hussein's part to allow himself to be convinced by such
ill-founded beliefs. Not only did the Iraqis fail to knock out the
Iranian air force but the Iranian pilots, putting duty before Ideology,
also carried the war into the Iraqi heartlands. Baghdad , which is only
four minutes' flying time from the border with Iran , was subjected
to a series of well-planned air attacks which exposed the inadequacy of
the Iraqi air defences. The Iraqis immediately placed orders with the
French for considerable amounts of air defence systems and eighty
Mirage fighters."
"The French arms industry had always enjoyed a full measure of
support from its government, the latter's attitude apparently being
that arms exports are in the interest of national security and that
they enable France to afford to manufacture its own arsenal. "
"There is no doubt that France considered Iraq an important client
deserving preferential treatment. There is evidence that the French
intelligence services tolerated several 'irregularities' by the
Iraqi Mukhabarat on their own soil in order to keep the path smooth for
lucrative arms deals. In 1979 Barzan Takriti, Saddam Hussein's
half-brother and the head of the Mukhabarat , commissioned his deputy,
Sabaawi Ibramhim, to oversee the creation of a new network in Europe .
This consisted in part of companies owned by Iraqi residents in France
which acted as fronts for both covert procurement tasks and
intelligence operations. Sabaawi Ibrahim in turn sent Sadd Saleh
Al-Jabouri, a Mukhabarat officer, to Paris as the chief of a new bureau
housed at the Iraqi Airways office in the French capital. Part of his
brief was to mastermind the hunting down and elimination of opponents
of Saddam Hussein's regime..." "Al-Jabouri was subsequently
joined by two other Iraqis-Kadhem Al-Rabie and Nizar Hamdoun, the
former an Iraqi businessman who subsequently used his connections to
set up a 'front' company and was successful in striking a number of
important arms deals in France ."
Excerpted from Page 140
"In 1967 France 's stock in the arab world had gone up following
General de Gaulle's decision to stop supplying arms to Israel ..."
Excerpted from Pages 141-142 "During the first half of the 1980s,
French assistance to Iraq also extended to the loan of aircraft and
personnel for use in the conflict against Iran . On 26th, May 1983 a
secret agreement was signed by President Francious Mitterand, covering
the supply on lease of five Super Etendard aircraft. In February of
that year there had been reports in the French media that the
government was planning to sell the aircraft, complete with Exocet
missiles, to Iraq , but the Defence Minister at that time, Charles
Hernu, denied the report. However at the beginning of June, Hernu
signed an agreement with the manufacturers of the aircraft Dassault and
Snecma. Subsequently, Iraqi pilots and technicians underwent fourteen
weeks of intensive training at an airbase at Cuers." "On the
morning of 7 October 1983 five Super Etendards left the Brittany base
of Landivisiau, staging at Corsica before eventually making a
rendezvous with the aircraft carrier Clemenceau in the Mediterranean .
During the following week, the aircraft were repainted in Iraqi colours
whilst checks were carried out to ensure that the pilots removed all
identifying insignia from their personal equipment and that they were
not carrying any incriminating documentation. The aircraft were then
flown to Iraq ." "A detachment of thirty French military personnel,
including seven pilots and several technicians from Dassault, Snecma,
Aerospatiale and Matra, were based in Iraq to provide training and
logistical support. It was subsequently reported buy not confirmed that
the pilots also participated in missions....
The Super Etendards and their Exocet missiles proved a decisive factor
in the outcome of the (Iran-Iraq) war (in the Persian Gulf ). The five
aircraft enabled Iraq to intensify what was known as the 'tanker
war', which achieved wider political objectives for the Iraqis...It
was a French-supplied Exocet which in 1987 crippled the American
frigate USS Stark, causing the US navy's rules of engagement to be
changed an ultimately resulting in America's direct involvement in
the (Iran-Iraq War in the Persian Gulf )."
"In May 1989, it was revealed that France was negotiating with Iraq
for the supply of fifty Dassault Mirage 2000 and fifty Alpha Jet
trainer ground attack aircraft. It was, however, France and not Iraq
which had sought the deal. In efforts intensified during 1989, Defence
Minister Jean-Pierre Chevenment's visit to the four Gulf states also
included Iraq . The Iraqis were impressed by the performance of the
Mirage 2000 at the Dubai Air Show on 20th January 1989, when two
Aircraft flew all the way from France , stopping once in Egypt and
refueling in mid-air several times en route."
"Dassault, one of the jewels in the French arms industry's crown,
had supplied the Iraqis with aircraft since 1976, when it sold them
thirty-two Mirage F1EQ and foru F1BQ. A second order for twenty-eight
F1Eq-4 and three F1BQ was placed in the same year and all these
aircraft were delivered between 1983 and 1985.
A third order for twenty Mirage F1EQ-5, equipped to carry Exocet
missiles, was placed in 1981 and these were delivered between 1983 and
1985. At the same time, a further eighteen F1EQ-6 and six F1BQ were
ordered, delivery being planned to take place at intervals between 1987
and 1989."

"In December 1989, a high-level delegation headed by Jacques
Mitterand, the president's brothers, visited Baghdad to discuss
closer cooperation on aerospace and other projects. It included in its
ranks representatives of several French companies. During their stay,
which included a visit to the Saad-16 missile development complex near
Mosul , meetings took palce with the Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister,
Sadoun Hammadi, Minster of Industry and Military Industrialisation

"Islamist Nukes: The French Connection
Lowell Ponte, FrontPageMag.com
Tuesday, March 7, 2006
"No civilian nuclear program can explain the Iranian nuclear program.
It is a clandestine Iranian military nuclear program,"
But what of that other nation that poses a serious risk of deliberately
or inadvertently providing nuclear weapons to Islamo-fascist
terrorists?
This other nation was willing to give atomic weapons potential to Iraqi
dictator Saddam Hussein.
This other nation that may beget a world of atom-wielding Ayatollahs is
France itself.
At least three paths could lead to the French arming Islamists with
nuclear weapons.
The first path to this doomsday nightmare came to public attention in
June 1981, when Israeli warplanes destroyed a nuclear reactor 18 miles
south of Baghdad .
This Osirak reactor was being built by the French for Saddam Hussein,
who had already used nerve gas on his own people and on Iranians.
Hussein had already described himself as the reincarnation of the
ancient Babylonian king and mass murderer Nebuchadnezzer II who
destroyed Jerusalem around 586 BCE.
Had Israel not carried out this preemptive act of Assertive Disarmament
weeks before the reactor became operational, Hussein could have
fabricated nuclear weapons from this reactor's radioactive output by
the time he invaded neighboring Kuwait in August 1990. The threat that
Hussein could then unleash radioactive devastation on nearby Iranian
and Saudi Arabian oil facilities might have made him too dangerous to
attack....
France is among the world's leading sellers of nuclear reactors and
reprocessors and sellers of radioactive reactor fuel. Days after
President George W. Bush struck a nuclear power deal last week between
the U.S. and India , for example, a high member of France 's National
Assembly on Sunday quietly dropped the news to Reuters that France has
agreed to help develop a "peaceful" nuclear power program for
oil-rich Libya 's dictator and longtime terrorism backer Col.
Mohammar Qaddafi.
Amid the controversies over whether Saddam Hussein attempted to procure
radioactive material in Africa, few bothered to note that the country
at the center of this discussion is a former French colony, Niger .
One of the biggest uranium mine owners and dealers in processed uranium
in Niger is COGEMA, historically 82 percent owned by the French Atomic
Energy Commission and now a subsidiary of the French-controlled
French-German consortium Areva, a major worldwide nuclear reactor
manufacturer and seller....
But, as nuclear scholar Henry Sokolski reported in 2004, "the French
firm Areva," like its international reactor-marketing competitors,
has been "so eager to sell China nuclear-power plants that they and
their governments are turning a blind eye to...a Chinese deal to sell
Islamabad (Pakistan) a large reactor."
Pakistan, the one Islamic nation that already has atomic weapons, has
refused to sign the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). Pakistan
's chief atomic weapons scientist secretly provided nuclear materials
and nuclear bomb-making information to other Muslim states, but after
brief imprisonment for this crime he was recently set free by his
government.
The French government not only approved selling its Osirak reactor and
ample radioactive fuel to Saddam Hussein but also threatened to use its
veto as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council to
prevent Hussein's overthrow.
It later came to light that several of French President Jacques
Chirac's closest political allies were being given millions of
dollars worth of oil certificates by Hussein under the United Nations
Oil-for-Food program that controlled Iraqi oil sales. Was there also a
secret deal with Hussein involving COGEMA, Areva, the French Government
and Niger ?
Can a French Government that was willing to put nuclear weapons
ingredients into the hands of Saddam Hussein be trusted to keep such
materials out of the hands of oil-rich Islamist fanatics? Is France
again willing to sell doomsday weapon capability if the price is
right?...(If the world were sane, of course, France would have
forfeited its nuclear weapons and materials after the Osirak reactor it
was building was destroyed. France has shown that it lacks both the
morality and maturity to be trusted with these dangerous tools the U.S.
and Britain gave it - along with a permanent seat on the Security
Council - following the French complicity with Hitler during World
War II.)... (During World War II the German-aligned Vichy government in
France used its national railroad to transport 76,000 French Jews to
their doom in Nazi death camps. Virulent anti-Semitism is one of the
ideologies many French share with their former Nazi overlords and
Islamofascists. French treachery has not been limited to its Arab
citizens.)... Lowell Ponte is the former Roving Science Editor for

"The Wilson, Rockefeller, & McCarthy Ties
Filed under: General- Robert Farrow by Curt
Very interesting stuff going on in the Mary McCarthy files. It appears
many of us missed a few important connections:
One aspect of her background so far comparatively unexamined is her
West African uranium connection. She served in a key government
position concerned with West African nations producing yellowcake
uranium at the same time that Joseph Wilson was working in the area.
The two may be considered members of the "yellowcake community"
within the Clinton national security apparatus of the 1990s. There are
more questions than answers for the moment, but yellowcake uranium is
not only of strategic importance for WMD purposes, it is also a highly
profitable commodity traded under UN supervision and restrictions, a
set of circumstances known to produce extraordinary opportunities for
both profit and corruption, as in Oil-for-Food. These comparatively
still waters may run deep. Investigators equipped with both subpoena
power and security clearance may be called for.
Mary McCarthy held positions in both African and Latin American
analysis desks at Langley while Wilson was U.S. Ambassador to the
Gabonese Republic from 1992 to 1995. Gabon was a producer of yellowcake
uranium. Wilson 's powerful position in Gabon from 1992 to 1995
raises questions about his official trip to Niger to discredit
President Bush's claim that Iraq had sought quantities of uranium
from Africa .
During his time in Gabon , Wilson must have been deeply knowledgeable
about uranium production and trade there, and must have been familiar
with officials of the French energy giant COGEMA, now consolidated into
the French Areva Group, a firm closely involved with the French
government which appoints members of its board. Joe Wilson has his own
French connection.
So, who better to send to Africa to dig up dirt to refute intelligence
findings of both the US and Great Britain concerning the Iraq-Africa
yellowcake trade?
The article then goes into great detail about the loophole the UN
instituted to allow: certain nuclear materials to be maintained and
traded even by countries known to be covertly developing a nuclear
capability or who supported terrorist groups....
Speaking of dealing in commodities, this whole affair brings us back to
square one and Mary McCarthy. One of her previous employers was Beri,
SA. Possibly by coincidence Beri provides a Mineral Extraction Risk
Assessment service for up to 145 countries that are expected to show
rapid growth in oil, gas, and mineral extraction capacity. If one had
advance access to economic intelligence and had fostered close business
ties over the years with uranium producers, huge financial gains would
be possible.... Macranger, the former intelligence official, believes
he knows what is coming next:
I can't tire of telling you how important it is that Mary Loose Lips
has been brought down. More than just a random 'discovery' - she is
the key to the lock. Guys at the agency and the DOJ knew exactly where
to target - and they hit it dead on. In the coming days you will see
why Senator Rockefeller HAD to make such an emergency visit to Syria in
2002. For a little tip, read here.
The "here" he is referring to is a Italian article that points out
Rockefeller's business dealings with none other, Cogema.... Cogema
runs the Niger uranium trade.
Getting a little fishy in here as AJ Strata notices:
the Italian story mentions Senator Jay Rockefeller and his unique
efforts against the invasion of Iraq . Among them is mention of "the
relationship of the Senate American ". The story links the UN Oil For
Food program and the Uranium trade (which I showed was possible in
previous posts).
Then the story talks about a connection: "the French of the Cogema
are in transactions with the magnates of the oil, comprised the
group Rockefeller American. " Wow. COGEMA is the French company...
that runs the Niger mines and monitors the uranium. Now I
understand what Mac Ranger meant by this comment:
In the coming days you will see why Senator Rockefeller HAD to make
such an emergency visit to Syria in 2002.
I had not made the connection until now that Wilson and Rockefeller
both raced to the region in 2002! Maybe the heads up Rockefeller was
giving Bathaast Bashir (and therefore Baathist Hussein) was not just
about the pending war. The timing is right. Wilson went to Niger in
February 2002, Rockefeller went to Syria in January 2002. So far Mac
has been dead on in his predictions. This one is going to be a doozy.
McCarthy now appears to be a little fish in a BIG pond whose scum layer
is getting quite thick.

"Allen, Webb spar in final TV debate
By LARRY O'DELL, Associated Press Writers October 2006
RICHMOND, Va. (AP)Throughout the debate, Webb looked tense, his eyes
riveted on his off-camera questioners or on Allen. His answers were
detailed, sometimes to the point of wonkishness; his delivery sometimes
halting. Allen, a veteran of numerous TV debates in his long political
career, appeared relaxed, his eyes connecting comfortably with the
camera, even as he offered up refrains he has used for years and made a
practice of opening his response with attacks on Webb.
At least three times, Allen took pains to link Webb, a former

More Than Sex: The Secrets of Bill and Hillary Clinton Revealed by
Arkansas State Trooper NewsMax.com September 14, 1999 Washington - An
Arkansas State Trooper who once guarded Bill Clinton has revealed
startling new information about Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Trooper Larry Patterson, a recently retired 32-year veteran of the
state police, had been the most senior member of the elite Governor's
Security Detail during the period Bill Clinton served as Governor.
During that time, Patterson became privy to Bill and Hillary
Clinton's most closely guarded secrets. Patterson told his story
exclusively to NewsMax.com and Internet Vortex. NewsMax.com has
published More than Sex: The Secrets of Bill and Hillary Clinton
Revealed - a two-hour audio cassette tape of Christopher Ruddy's
interview with Trooper Larry Patterson. In More than Sex Patterson
makes bombshell revelations, some of which have never been disclosed
before:
Organized Crime. The press has ignored reporting of this critical
issue, but Patterson says Clinton had a close relationship with the
head of the Dixie Mafia-Arkansas' homegrown organized crime family
that has grown in recent years through drug trafficking. Patterson said
Clinton regularly received gifts from the reputed mob boss.
Ethnic Slurs about Jews. Both Hillary and Bill Clinton frequently
used slurs during heated arguments with each other, Patterson said.
Among the
epithets they frequently hurled at each other were anti-Semitic slurs
such as
'mother f---in' Jew' or 'Jew bastard'. Patterson said such
references were heard
frequently
during the years he served the Clintons. Patterson said Clinton
loved telling ethnic jokes and frequently told jokes that were
anti-Semitic. The
use of the "N" word. Patterson said Bill Clinton would use the word
"nigger" -
the "N" word - when he was angry with African-American opponents.
He recalls the
use of the word in describing a black, Arkansas activist who was
critical
of Clinton. Patterson said Clinton also used the "N" word during
the
1992 campaign Hitler and Mein Kampf. Bill Clinton, Patterson said,
spoke
admiringly of Hitler and was fascinated by his book Mein Kampf.

Boulevard and Weizman Street in Tel Aviv, at 19:15 to voice our
opposition to this "new" and dubious friend of Israel.
Hillary Clinton is one smart lady. She wants to be President.
Therefore, she will say anything to any particular Group that will lend
itself to obtaining that set objective. She strategically chose the
upcoming Senatorial race in New York as the first stepping stone
towards reaching her presidential goal. However, New York has an
important Jewish vote and that is a hurdle that she must leap over and
"handle". The difficulty for Hillary is that she has never been a
friend of Israel. She has publicly come out for a Palestinian State,
which as a sophisticated and smart lady she knows would threaten
Israel's very existence. She very well knows that hatred of Jews and
Israel even now is an essential part of Arafat's educational system;
moreover, Arafat's hate propaganda in his Media includes praise of
the bomb makers who specialize in blowing up Israel's buses. Yet she
has never leveled one word of criticism against Arafat in that or any
other regard, or for that matter against any Arab. Her Arab guest list
at the White House has included American Arab leaders who are
sympathetic to and support terrorist Hamas. She could find nothing
about Israel to publicly admire throughout the many years that she has
been in the White House. But to garner the Jewish vote in New York she
has to appear to tone down her bias in favor of the Arabs, and make
some Jewish "gestures". She now lets out of the family closet the
inconsequential news that her grandmother's second husband was a Jew.
And of course for these New York voters, she is making the proscribed
visit to Israel. After all these years she suddenly awakened to
recognize the status of Jerusalem; she recently told the Jews that
Jerusalem is Israel's eternal capital; however, she is not in favor
of moving the U.S. Embassy to that capital. In that she is consistent
with her husband who broke his previous campaign promise to move it.
Her track record insures that she too will not keep whatever promises
she makes
to the Jews in order to get into the Senate. If elected, she would be
the most
pro-Arab Senator New York has ever had. Unmasked, Hillary Clinton has
proven
herself again and again to have little sympathy and understanding for
Israel and
the Jewish People. Don't be
fooled by the Jewish "appointees" of her husband. Albright, Berger
and the like are Jews in name only, who lack loyalty to the Jewish
People. Nor
should you be "taken in" by her deceptive sweet talk. Hillary's
visit to Israel
is just part and parcel of her New York campaign. Ruth and Nadia Matar

Former Navy Secretary Virginia US Senate Candidate James Webb has been
a long time opponent of the liberation of Iraq. When he was Secretary
of the Navy he urged that the US attack Saddam's enemy Iran. While we
support the liberation of both Iraq and Iran, it is clear that the US

Iran on its current anti-American path.
That tilt was a major mistake. Webb's role in that tilt as Secretary

"In January 1987, as the" (Iran-Iraq)"war entered its seventh
year and the combined death toll neared one million people, Iran began
yet another major offensive. This time it pushed deep into Iraqi
territory. Saddam Hussein needed help-but he also required reassurance
from Washington about its intentions, since revelations in the
Iran-Contra scandal were now detailing the U.S. covert military aid
that had been going to his enemy, Iran. From Baghdad's point of view,
Washington was either ambivalent or duplicitous.
Thanks to the rival pro-Iraq and pro-Iran factions inside the
government, the United States had indeed sent out very confusing
signals. Nonetheless, the secret shipments to Iran paled when compared
with the support given Saddam, and William Casey led the drive to
placate Iraq. He had already met with Tariq Aziz at the United Nations
to make sure Iraq was happy with the flow of intelligence it was
receiving, and he encouraged Aziz to go ahead with more attacks on
Iranian economic targets.
Then netural ships in the Persian Gulf began coming under attack from
both Iran and Iraq. Those of oil-rich Kuwait were of particular concern
to the administration. Kuwaiti leaders wanted their oil tankers
protected by either Moscow of Washington, and in March 1987 top U.S.
officials including Caspar Weinberger, George Schultz aand Admiral
William Crowe, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, decided to
defend Kuwaiti vessels that were navigating the Gulf.
Two months later, on May 17th, pro-Iraqi officials such as Weinberger
suffered an instant case of political whiplash when a U.S. frigate, the
Stark, was attacked by an Iraqi warplane and thirty-seven Americans on
board were killed....The Stark incident underscored the increasingly
risky state of affairs in the Gulf, and it was followed by a formal
announcement from President Reagan that the United States would reflag
Kuwaiti oil tankers so that the U.S. Navy could escort them."

"May 17 1987, had started out as a routine day in the Persian gulf,
we were to soon be on patrol escorting the newly flagged Kuwaiti Oil
tankers. Little Did I know that day would change my life forever .we
were always thinking of The world and our loved ones back at home, to
get this over with do our duty to our country .I had just helped Daniel
Homicki, move into my old bunk, and I went on my last watch ,my
commitment to the Navy was up.
What was supposed to be a good last memory for me went horribly wrong.
The excitement of coming home was over shadowed by an Iraqi attack that
killed 37 of my shipmates, and wounded many more, I narrowly escaped
death myself by being on a SH2 Sea sprite helicopter."

"USS STARK
On May 17, 1987, the Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate, USS Stark (FFG
31) was hit by two Exocet anti-ship cruise missiles fired by an Iraqi
F-1 Mirage fighter aircraft while operating in the central Persian
Gulf. The explosion of the first missile caused extensive structural
damage and flooding. Combustion of the burning propellant of both
missiles immediately caused intense fires to build throughout the ship.
There were 37 deaths and 5 injuries reported as a result of the attack.

Additionally, the ship's damage control and fire fighting inventory
did not include many of the important fire fighting and life saving
equipment that ordinary fire fighters ashore use every day.

WV Law Enforcement Bodies Endorse Kim Wolfe; Rahall's 'Weak'
Record on Homeland
Security Cited....
As his reputation for leadership and integrity grew, he had additional
service opportunities and experience in legislative issues as the
President of the West Virginia Sheriffs' Association, then on the
Ethics Committee of The National Sheriffs' Association. He was later
pegged by The United States Attorneys Office to be the area
representative on The United States Anti-Terrorism Advisory Council,
and he serves on The Advisory Committee of The National Task Force on
Community Preparedness and Response.
Wolfe sites Rahall's weak positions on Terrorism, Homeland Security
and Immigration Reform among the reasons for law enforcement's vote
for Wolfe. Rahall has consistently voted against anti-terrorism
efforts and any efforts to strengthen our borders, and was most
recently one of only 8 congressmen to vote against House Resolution 921
denouncing terrorism and supporting Israel's right to defend itself,
following his anti-Israel record.
Rahall voted against The Patriot Act, against the recommendations of
the 9/11 Commission, and has been mentioned in the national media as a
controversial figure. According to The Charleston Daily Mail, Federal
Election Commission reports, and various news reports, Rahall
"received a campaign contribution from a known radical terrorist
supporter, Abdurahman Alamoudi." Alamoudi staged a protest at the
White House in which he publicly pledged his allegiance to Hezbollah
and Hamas."

6. QUESTIONABLE SITUATION INVOLVING MR. RAHALL'S SISTER'S JOB AS A
"LOBBYIST"
FOR QATAR...
(Pasted directly from The Los Angeles Times)
Sister lobbies Rahall
Congressman's sibling works
as consultant for Qatar
Los Angeles Times
Thursday June 17, 2004
WASHINGTON-Like many sisters, Tanya Rahall talks to her brother
often. But unlike most sisters, she gets paid handsomely to do it.
Rahall makes $15,000 a month lobbying Congress for the tiny Arab
country of Qatar. And the person she frequently lobbies is Rep. Nick J.
Rahall II, D-W.Va., her older brother and one of Qatar's biggest
champions in Washington. Qatar paid her for helping him craft a
resolution praising the country "for years of Democratic reform,"
even though it remained a monarchy without organized political
opposition. She recruited members of Congress for a pro-Qatar caucus
that he leads and accompanied him and other members on a visit to Doha,
Qatar.
The Rahalls are the latest example of a growing, unregulated practice
in Washington: paying relatives of helpful members of Congress as
lobbyists and consultants.
There are no rules specifically barring members of Congress from acting
on behalf of relatives' clients. Indeed, limits on speaking fees and
campaign donations have made hiring family one of the few unregulated
ways in which special interests can ingratiate themselves with
lawmakers. Rep. Rahall's official congressional biography does not
mention his work on Arab issues. Instead it focuses on what he has done
for West Virginia: protecting coal mining as the ranking Democrat on
the Committee on Resources and bringing large amounts of federal
highway money to the state as the second senior Democrat on the
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. But Rahall, 55, is
also the most senior of five Arab American representatives and is an
advocate for Arab countries in a Congress dominated by pro-Israel
members.
In 1993, he was the lone House member of Congress to vote against a
resolution calling for an end to an Arab boycott of Israel. He spent
years pressing the State Department to end a ban on travel to Lebanon,
where his grandfathers were born. He got his wish in 1997.
In 2001, he was one of 11 members of Congress to vote against a
resolution insisting the Palestinian Authority take steps to end a
terrorist campaign-...He flew to Iraq in 2002 to meet with a top aide
to Saddam Hussein ... and voted against going to war. And he traveled
to Syria to meet with President Bashar Assad in 2003, and voted against
increasing sanctions based on allegations that the country was a state
sponsor of terrorism.
Rep. Rahall traveled to Qatar in 1997 and in 2000. According to his
congressional disclosure reports, the first trip was paid for by a
foundation associated with the National Association of Arab Americans
and the second by the Islamic Institute, a group also known as the
Islamic Free Market Institute Foundation.
In 2001, Rahall was invited by the Islamic Institute to be one of the
opening speakers at its first Conference on Democracy and Free Trade,
held in Qatar.

the 2006 Jefferson Jackson Day Dinner in Alexandria, Virginia.
"Moran steps down from leadership post
Lawmaker under fire for saying Jews push war with Iraq
Friday, March 14, 2003
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Harshly criticized for saying pressure from the
Jewish community was driving the push toward a possible war against
Iraq, Rep. James Moran stepped down Friday as a House Democratic
regional whip.
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi of California issued a statement
indicating she left Moran, D-Virginia, with little choice but to give
up his leadership post.
"I have taken this action because Congressman Moran's irresponsible
remarks were a serious mistake," Pelosi said in a statement. "As I
said earlier this week, his comments were not only inappropriate, they
were offensive and have no place in the Democratic Party." Moran has
been under fire since March 3, when he said at an antiwar forum that
Jewish leaders were pushing a war with Iraq. "If it were not for the
strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq, we would
not be doing this," he said at the forum in Reston, Virginia. "The
leaders of the Jewish community are influential enough that they could
change the direction of where this is going and I think they should."
The comments drew condemnation from the White House, Jewish leaders,
and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle....
On Wednesday, a number of Jewish House Democrats urged Moran not to
seek re-election in the wake of his comments. In Virginia, several
local Democrats have already expressed interest in challenging Moran
for re-election.
The leader of the Jewish Community Council of Washington said Moran
should consider resigning. Moran, 57, has said he will not give up his
seat....
The Anti-Defamation League was also among those that condemned
Moran's comments.
"This is one voice in the chorus spreading a new lie, the age-old
anti-Semitic canard that when our country faces danger, Jews are
responsible," it said.
"As we move closer to an invasion with Iraq, the drumbeat of 'blame
the Jews'-meaning Jews in the administration, the 'Jewish
lobby' and the Jewish community-is intensifying and multiplying.
"Congressman Moran's remarks are symptomatic of a more serious
problem-that in times of crisis and anxiety, Jews continue to be a
convenient and tempting option for scapegoating."

"Allen: Webb camp anti-Semitic
BY JEFF E. SCHAPIRO
TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER
Thursday, September 21, 2006
U.S. Sen. George Allen, R-Va., is accusing challenger Jim Webb of
anti-Semitism for spotlighting Allen's newly acknowledged Jewish
ancestry on Democratic blogs."There is a common thread that is
running through the Webb campaign," Allen campaign manager Dick
Wadhams said yesterday. "It has a clear anti-Semitic overtone to
it." Webb's press secretary, Kristian Denny Todd, dismissed the
claim as "slash-and-burn campaign tactics" and a bid to "make
George Allen a sympathetic figure by rallying his base against the big,
bad media."
The Allen broadside followed the latest complication for his
re-election effort: confirming he is part Jewish after angrily ducking
a question on his heritage during a debate Monday with Webb. Allen
said his maternal grandfather, an Italian jailed in Tunisia by the
Nazis, was Jewish. Allen said he learned of his grandfather's
religion, in part, after recent discussions with his mother. Allen's
mother, Henrietta, "Etty" Allen, told The Washington Post yesterday
that she concealed her upbringing as a Jew in North Africa from her
children until late August when Allen asked her directly about his
Jewish heritage. She said that she and the senator's father, former
Redskins coach George Allen, had wanted to protect their children from
living with the fear that she had experienced during World War II.
Allen's mother, who is 83, said she asked her son not to tell his
siblings and his wife. "The fact this is such an issue justifies my
actions, and my behavior," she told the Post.
In addition to posts on Democratic blogs focusing on Allen's lineage,
Wadhams cited Webb's use of a controversial handbill during the
primary campaign as evidence of anti-Semitism.
"Anti-Semitic themes run through the Webb campaign," Wadhams said.
"I distinctly make that assertion and that charge." During the
Democratic primary, Webb was criticized for a flier featuring a cartoon
likeness of his Jewish opponent, Harris Miller, with a large nose and
cash spilling from his pockets.
Last night, the Allen campaign issued a statement in which two Jewish
Republicans U.S. Rep. Eric I. Cantor of Virginia and U.S. Sen. Norm
Coleman of Minnesota-attacked Webb.
"Appeals to bigotry fail in Virginia, because Virginians look to a
person's integrity and character," said Cantor. "Jim Webb is
failing this test for integrity."
Coleman said, "Former Naval Secretary Webb's campaign is sailing in
dirty and dangerous waters when it plays the religious card. The voters
of Virginia should sink this vessel and wash away any effort to
question Senator Allen's faith or heritage."
Wadhams referred to posts on Democratic blog sites that address
Allen's Jewish ancestry, ... On several blogs, some friendly to Webb,
posts chided Allen for his fierce reply to the question by a Washington
television station. Others poked fun at the senator or raised
questions about his forthrightness. Some Republican blogs carried posts
defending Allen and critical of those who questioned his lineage....

"Hardball: 27 Minutes For Allegations Against Allen, 0 For Those
Against Webb
Posted by Mark Finkelstein on September 28, 2006 - 18:01. ....
driving through a black neighborhood, flaunting rifles and yelling
racial epithets
why did Chris Matthews devote the first half of this
afternoon's "Hardball" to the n-word story, and not one second to
the driving-through-the-black-neighborhood story?
Matthews opened Hardball with an extended segment featuring Patricia
Waring, who in 1978 was apparently the wife of the coach of the
University of Virginia rugby club team. She claims that, attending one
game, she overheard George Allen telling a story in which he repeatedly
used the n-word. She says she confronted him about it, asking him not
to use the word.
Waring acknowledged that she is a registered Democrat and party
volunteer.
After the Waring interview, Matthews pored over the implications for
Allen's political prospects with guests Howard Fineman of Newsweek,
Matthew Continetti of the Weekly Standard, MSNBC analyst Craig Crawford
and Mike Allen of Time magazine.
At the same time, a Washington Post story that Rush Limbaugh discussed
today [that only managed to make it into WaPo's 'B' section, in
contrast with the front-page treatment the Post accorded the Allen
allegations] contains some shocking assertions. Dan Cragg describes
himself as "a longtime friend of Webb's who worked for him when he
was assistant secretary of defense under President Ronald Reagan." He
told the Post that in addition to hearing Webb use the n-word in his
presence, Webb told him that when he was a student at USC in Los
Angeles :
"[Webb and friends] would hop into their cars, and would go down to
Watts with these buddies of his," Cragg said Webb told him. "They
would take the rifles down there. They would call them [epithets],
point the rifles at them, pull the triggers and then drive off
laughing. One night, some guys caught them and beat . . . them. And
that was the end of that."
Let's recapitulate:
· Story on Allen's alleged use of n-word: first 27 minutes of this
evening's Hardball.
· Story on Webb's alleged driving through black neighborhood
brandishing rifle and hurling racial epithets: not one second.

"Former Reagan Navy Secretary and now Democratic Senate hopeful from
Virginia James Webb is being accused of anti-Semitism for a flier
produced against his opponent Harris Miller.
By James Joyner
Senate candidate James H. Webb, President Reagan's former Navy
secretary, was criticized by his Jewish opponent Friday over a campaign
flier that depicted the opponent with a hooked nose and cash spilling
from his pockets. The flier was intended for distribution among labor
groups. It was titled "Miller the Job Killer," referring to
Webb's opponent for the Democratic nomination in Tuesday's primary,
businessman Harris Miller.
The flier, drawn in comic-book cartoon style, depicts Miller with a
grotesquely hooked nose and cash overflowing from his suit pockets as
he orders an underling to find ways to export U.S. jobs overseas. The
flier refers to Miller as the "anti-Christ of outsourcing."
Miller called it "despicable." "One of the things I hoped we
would

MONEY FROM THE AMERICAN MUSLIM ALLIANCE
it is no wonder that the American Muslim Alliance chapter in
Massachusetts held what it called a "successful fundraiser" for
First Lady Hillary Clinton at the Park Plaza Hotel in Boston on June
13, 2000. AMA Massachusetts Chair Tahir Ali said afterwards, "We are
attempting to send an important message to all AMA chapters: we must
support all who have [Muslim] interests at heart, regardless of what
part of the country they are running in."
EMERSON'S TESTIMONY
According to Steve Emerson, a well-known investigative journalist
specializing in militant Islamic organizations, the AMA's leaders
"have sanctioned terrorism, published anti-Semitic statements, and
repeatedly hosted conferences that were forums for denunciations of
Jews and exhortations to wage jihad." Faced with pressure on the
matter, Mrs. Clinton announced on Oct. 25th that she was returning the
$50,000 in campaign contributions raised for her by the AMA. She failed
to give a credible explanation as to why it took her more than four
months from June 13th until October 25th until she saw it necessary to
return the money.
Mr. Emerson, in a recent Wall Street Journal article, noted: "As
first lady, Mrs. Clinton began in 1996 an outreach program to Muslim
leaders in the U.S.
With America's Muslim population at some six million and growing, an
effort to include the community's leaders in the mainstream of
American politics is unquestionably a worthy undertaking. But
curiously, nearly all of the leaders with whom Mrs. Clinton elected to
meet came from Islamic fundamentalist organizations. A review of the
statements, publications and conferences of the groups Mrs. Clinton
embraced shows unambiguously that they have long advocated or justified
violence. By meeting with these groups, the first lady lent them
legitimacy as "mainstream" and "moderate"."
But this should not be unexpected, considering Mrs. Clinton's past
radical affiliations. During the 1980's, ultra-liberal lawyer Hillary
Rodham-Clinton served on the board of the New World Foundation, which
funneled money to the Palestine Liberation Organization, at a time when
the PLO was officially recognized by the United States as a terrorist
organization.
Similarly, in February 1996, Hillary hosted a reception at the White
House for leaders of Hamas-supporting groups such as the American
Muslim Council and the Council on American-Islamic Relations. And in
January, 1998, Hillary hosted another White House reception honoring
Muslim leaders and the Muslim Public Affairs Council who defended
militant Islamic fundamentalism and also supported radical Islamic
groups.
THE REAL HILLARY
This, then, is the real Hillary Rodham-Clinton. An ambitious woman
willing to utter any banal cliche on behalf of "Israel's
security" to placate unaware New York Jewish voters, but one whose
pre-Senate race record on Israel is appalling.
It's a record of supporting the terrorist PLO, even before the 1993
signing of the first Oslo Agreement on the White House lawn, of
ignoring blatant calumny heaped on Israel by Suha Arafat, of supporting
the creation of a Palestinian PLO State, of hosting and legitimizing
extremist Islamic groups in the United States. Most recently, it
included taking campaign contributions from these very same evil,
anti-Semitic organizations - until being caught with her hand in the
extremist Islamic cookie jar. This is the very same Hillary
Rodham-Clinton who now claims to be Israel's friend."

ARLINGTON, VA - The Allen campaign responded today to the deceitful
DSCC attack ad, funded through Hillary Clinton's latest $1 million
donation, which began airing around Virginia in an attempt to smear
Senator George Allen's proven record of leadership in the U.S.

ADL Applauds Senate for Global Anti-Semitism Monitoring Bill
New York, NY, May 10, 2004 - The Anti-Defamation League (ADL)
applauded the Senate's passage of legislation designed to require
greater US reporting on anti-Semitism worldwide. The Global
Anti-Semitism Review Act, authored by Senator George Voinovich (R-OH)
and introduced by Sens. Voinovich, Joseph Biden (D-DE), George Allen
(R-VA), and Gordon Smith (R-OR), requires the State Department to
provide a country-by-country report on anti-Semitic acts and harassment
and the governmental response. The report would also include
information on governmental efforts to promote tolerance and anti-bias
education.
"The Senate has taken an important step to strengthen US efforts to
combat the rise of anti-Semitism around the globe," said Abraham H.
Foxman, ADL National Director and author of Never Again? The Threat of
the New Anti-Semitism (Harper San Francisco, 2003). "In order to
fight anti-Semitism, we must have an accurate assessment of the scope
and nature of the problem in varying regions. So many countries lack a
formal mechanism to channel information about the problem or to
register complaints. While this new report is in no way a substitute
for data collection by individual states, until appropriate monitoring
systems can be put in place, American leadership in spotlighting the
problem will continue to play a vital role.
Mr. Foxman, who just returned from the Organization for Security and
Cooperation in Europe Conference on Anti-Semitism in Berlin, where he
was a Public Advisor to the U.S. Delegation added, "passing this bill
indicates the United States' continued commitment to spotlighting the
problem of anti-Semitism around the world and is an example of the kind
of proactive measures a government can take to fight global
anti-Semitism."
The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading

although he has wrongfully been painted as a racist by the Saddemocrat
controlled media US Senator George Allen, Republican of Virginia is no
such thing. He is in fact, just the opposite.
As a US Senator George Allen sponsored legislation to award $1.25
billion in grants for computers and technology for historically black
colleges and universities - the measure died in the US House of
Representatives.
"I have worked very hard in the Senate to reach out to all Americans,
regardless of their race, religion, ethnicity or gender," Senator
George Allen said.
Senator George Allen proposed that the Senate apologize for its failure
to enact anti-lynching laws in the 1930's and 40's.
In fact Senator Allen is being politically lynched every day in the
Saddemocrat controlled media. He is no racist.
We have what we believe is a credible theory about the so-called
"macaca" incident. What we did not know at the time the so-called
"macaca" story appeared was that Senator Allen's mother is
Jewish.
We found that out later. Jews of the generation of Senator Allen's
mother frequently speak one version of Yiddish or another.
What we believe Senator Allen was trying to say was
fakakta: Yiddish for crazy, all mixed up.

We believe that Senator Allen would have heard one version of that word
or another frequently as a child from his Jewish mother or one or more
of his other Jewish relatives,some of whom spoke several languages.

One is ***Technical Support on the Internet. Horrendous. The ads are
very good. They have aged me by twenty years, as one individual, and
*** Bank, the credit card side of it - absolutely dreadful."
There are thousands of online examples of the word fakakta which is
also sometimes spelled in a variety of other ways including fekakte or
verkakte, among others. We cannot blame Senator Allen for
mispronouncing fakakta as "macaca". He certainly never meant to use
any sort of racial slur or epithet.
"We recognize that Action Forum is an open forum intended to foster
the free flow of ideas," ADL head Abraham Foxman said in a letter
dated Aug. 31st (2006) to MoveOn, which supported Lamont in the
Democratic primary against Lieberman. "Nevertheless, since such
profoundly offensive content is appearing on a board clearly linked to
MoveOn.org, we believe you should assume some responsibility to respond
to this hateful content," Foxman wrote in the letter, which was
forwarded by Lieberman's campaign.
Foxman cited examples from the site's Action Forum, including
"media owning Jewish pigs," "Zionazis," a reference to the
senator as "Jew Lieberman" and the question, "Why are the Jews so
Jew-y?"
Foxman wrote, "Those who allow hate to rear its ugly head under their
auspices bear a special responsibility to distance themselves from that
hate, and to speak out against it, as loudly as possible."

"HATEFUL 'MOVE' VS. JOE
SITE'S ANTI-JEWISH SLURS
By MAGGIE HABERMAN
September 5, 2006 -- A string of anti-Semitic rants about Sen. Joe
Lieberman have popped up on the liberal MoveOn.org's open forum Web
site, drawing criticism from the Anti-Defamation League.
It's the latest flap in the contentious race between Lieberman, who
is running as an independent to keep his seat in Connecticut, and
upstart Ned Lamont, the Democratic nominee.
"We recognize that Action Forum is an open forum intended to foster
the free flow of ideas," ADL head Abraham Foxman said in a letter
dated Aug. 31 to MoveOn, which supported Lamont in the Democratic
primary against Lieberman. "Nevertheless, since such profoundly
offensive content is appearing on a board clearly linked to MoveOn.org,
we believe you should assume some responsibility to respond to this
hateful content," Foxman wrote in the letter, which was forwarded by
Lieberman's campaign.
Foxman cited examples from the site's Action Forum, including

Jew-y?"
Foxman wrote, "Those who allow hate to rear its ugly head under their
auspices bear a special responsibility to distance themselves from that
hate, and to speak out against it, as loudly as possible."
Lieberman is one of the country's best-known Jewish politicians.
Foxman and Eli Pariser, executive director of the MoveOn Political
Action Committee, couldn't be reached....
Lamont aides didn't immediately return calls for comment.
maggie.haberman@nypost.com
Lamont's independent opponent for the US Senate is incumbent US
Senator Joe Lieberman, the man who was the nominee of the Democrats for
Vice President of the United States in 2000. Lamont's Republican
opponent in the 2006 US Senate race is widely viewed as being
unelectable, thus a vote for that person rather than a vote to re-elect
Senator Lieberman is a wasted vote.

Transcript: Sen. Allen and Peggy Fox at Monday's Senate Debate
Transcribed by Robert Barnes
Wednesday, September 20, 2006; 11:22 AM Fox: ....the Jewish
press
published a story on the internet that explored your possible Jewish
ancestry on
your mother's side. You've been quoted as saying your mother's
not
Jewish, but
it had been reported her father, your grandfather Felix, whom you
were given
your middle name for, was Jewish. Could you please tell us whether
your
forbearers include Jews, and if so, at which point Jewish identity
might have
ended?
(Booing from the audience)
Allen: I'm glad you all have that, you have that reaction. You know
what our first freedom in this country was? Freedom of religion, where
people's rights are not enhanced or diminished on account of their
religious beliefs. Thomas Jefferson was the author of that. As we try
to stand up a free and just society, that's the first pillar of a
free and just society. And to be getting into what religion my mother
is, I don't think it's relevant, whatever one person believes,
whatever their beliefs may be, is not relevant. So I'd like to ask
you, why is that relevant? My religion, Jim's religion, or the
religion beliefs of anyone out there. (applause)
My mother's French-Italian-
Fox: Honesty.
Allen:--with a little Spanish blood in her. And I was raised as she
was, as far as I know, raised as a Christian. But if you really need to
get into such matters-
Fox:--Honesty, that's all.
Allen: Oh, that's all? That's just all? We need, we need to get
this country together. And I respect your right to ask questions. But
let's ask questions about issues that really matter to people here,
in Virginia, such as how we're going to bring this country together,
make us more secure, a land of opportunity. And I'll tell you one
other thing, preserve our foundational values, and one of those values
is freedom of religion and not making aspersions about people because
of their religious beliefs."
For those who think that "IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE"
It just did. Here is Webb being quoted about Syria, the nation from
which and through which most of the terrorists who are murdering
Americans and coalition forces and innocent Iraqis right now come
from,in 2006:
"On the current situation in the Middle East, Webb said he believes
the U.S. must befriend Syria and try to use that country as an
ally..."
And if under President Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vice President
James Webb,
a.k.a. Jim Webb, or President Webb should something happen to
Presdient Hillary
Rodham Clinton the U.S. befriends Syria and tries to use Syria as an
ally what
country or countries will
Syria be used as an ally against?
Against Israel? Syria is no friend of Israel. So if under President
Hillary Rodham Clinton and Vice President James Webb, a.k.a. Jim Webb
America becomes the friend of Syria and the Syria is the enemy of
Israel does America become the enemy of Israel? Does America nuke
Israel? Does America round up American Jews and open extermination
camps? In America can a sitting US Senator be asked whether he has
Jewish ancestry? Think it can't happen here? It just did in Virginia!
IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE by Sinclair Lewis
Sinclair Lewis, the first American to receive the Nobel Prize For
Literature, wrote this satirical political novel in 1935, a time when
the United States and Western Europe had been in a depression for six
years. In this novel, Sinclair Lewis asks the question - what if some
ambitious politician would use the 1936 presidential election to make
himself dictator by promising quick, easy solutions to the depression -
just as Hitler had done in Germany in 1933.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It_Can't_Happen_Here
It Can't Happen Here is a satirical political novel by Sinclair Lewis
published
in 1935. It features newspaperman Doremus Jessup struggling against the
fascist
regime of President Berzelius "Buzz" Windrip, who was modeled
either on the
flamboyantly dictatorial Huey Long of Louisiana, or on Gerald B.
Winrod, whose
views earned him the nickname "The Jayhawk Nazi". It serves as a
warning that
political movements akin to Nazism can come to power in countries such
as the
United States
It Can't Happen Here is thought to have inspired both Philip K.

The Man in the High Castle
George Allen's Jewish Heritage Confirmed
http://politics.wizbangblog.com/2006/09/20/george-allens-jewish-heritage-confirmed.php
In a statement on AllenHQ and in an interview with The Jewish Daily
Forward, Senator George Allen addresses the ethnicity of his parents.
Yesterday, I found it especially reprehensible that a reporter would
impugn the attitudes of my mother, as Ms. Peggy Fox did in her first
question at the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce Senate debate. My
mother and father both taught me to abhor bigotry, and Ms. Fox's
suggestion to the contrary was deeply offensive."
"The notion peddled by the Webb campaign that I am somehow
embarrassed by my heritage is equally offensive, and also absurd."
"I was raised as a Christian and my mother was raised as a Christian.
And I embrace and take great pride in every aspect of my diverse
heritage, including my Lumbroso family line's Jewish heritage, which
I learned about from a recent magazine article and my mother
confirmed."
"On several occasions through the years, I have mentioned publicly
that my mother's father was incarcerated by the Nazis. I have never
known whether he was persecuted by the Nazis because of his
nationality, his religious faith, his role as a community leader, or
his part in the anti-Nazi resistance. What I do know is that my
grandfather's imprisonment by the Nazis had a profound impact on my
mother. It was a subject she found painful to discuss and so we almost
never discussed it."
"Some may find it odd that I have not probed deeply into the details
of my family history, but it's a fact. We in the Allen household were
simply taught that what matters is a person's character, integrity,
effort, and performance - not race, gender, ethnicity or religion. And
so whenever we would ask my mother through the years about our family
background on her side, the answer always was, 'Who cares about
that?'"
"My mother has lived a long and full life, and I hope and pray she
will enjoy many more years. She deserves respect and she also deserves
privacy, especially where painful memories are concerned. I sincerely
hope that simple decency will be respected."
In case you missed the NAZI STYLE ACHTUNG JUDEN! (ATTENTION JEWS!)
so called "question", here it is:
"It has been reported," said Fox, that "your grandfather Felix,
whom you were given your middle name for, was Jewish. Could you please
tell us whether your forebears include Jews and, if so, at which point
Jewish identity might have ended?"
