Iranian Propaganda Reaching New, Nazi-Like Levels
Foreign Confidential....
Iran's propaganda war with Israel and the United States is entering a new, Nazi-like phase, as shown by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech at the UN General Assembly Tuesday.
The Hitler-admiring, Holocaust-denying, Iranian maniac-in-chief railed against "Zionist murderers," dwelling on what he described as Zionist control of international finance, echoing the libel that blamed a world Jewish conspiracy for all the world's troubles.
There is a method to Mahmoud's madness. Like the Nazi Fuhrer--who first tested the international community's attitude towards the Jews with propaganda, killings, beatings, persecution, and discrimination before opting for full-fledged genocide--the Islamist (clerical fascist) leader is trying to exploit anti-Semitic themes in order to isolate and weaken Israel and its supporters around the world ahead of an all-out assault aimed at annihilating the Jewish state.
Again, we advise and appeal to Israel: end the Iranian regime before it ends you. The choice is mass death in Tehran or mass death in Tel Aviv.
As a Jew--and a Zionist--this reporter chooses mass death in Tehran.
Diplomacy is dead. There is only a military solution; and it must include the use of nuclear weapons. There is no alternative.

Al Gore Declares War on American Economy
Dateline USA....
Is Al Gore a lunatic or a traitor?
The fire-breathing, global warming charlatan called Wednesday for "civil disobedience" to combat the construction of coal power plants without the ability to store "carbon."
The former vice president, who parlayed a boring slide show into an Academy Award--and a Nobel Peace Prize--made the comment during a session at the fourth annual Clinton Global Initiative in Manhattan.
"If you're a young person looking at the future of this planet and looking at what is being done right now, and not done, I believe we have reached the stage where it is time for civil disobedience to prevent the construction of new coal plants that do not have carbon capture and sequestration," Gore said.
Understand, as Barack Obama likes to say, that the United States is the Saudi Arabia of coal, that coal liquefaction and gasification are commercially proven and available technologies, that energy is the lifeblood of a nation, that no serious energy expert believes that solar power and windmills can begin to make a dent in US energy needs over the next decade, that the most recent data shows that the earth has stopped warming and actually may have begun to cool, and that over 31,000 scientists, including climatologists and more than 9,000 Ph.D.s, have signed a petition urging the US government to resist the manmade global warming hysteria.
So ... is Al Gore a lunatic or a traitor?

Asian Markets Buoyed by Buffett-Goldman Deal
Asia's institutional investors are somewhat encouraged by news that Warren Buffett is investing heavily in a major Wall Street firm.
Buffett, one of the richest men in the United States, announced Tuesday that his Berkshire Hathaway investment firm would buy $5 billion of shares in Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs. The investment is a major boost for an institution battered by the current meltdown of the US financial sector.
The 78-year-old billionaire described the current financial crisis as an "economic Pearl Harbor," and said his investment in Goldman Sach is an endorsement of the Treasury's $700 billion bank rescue plan.
" I am betting on the Congress doing the right thing for the American public and passing this bill,'' Buffett said on CNBC. "I certainly have a vote of confidence in Goldman and vote of confidence in Congress.''
Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke are pressuring Congress to quickly approve the proposal to remove illiquid assets from the banking system.
Buffett's decision to buy a stake in New York-based Goldman comes after three of the investment bank's biggest competitors collapsed or were forced into emergency sales.
"I think the Treasury will pay back the $700 billion and make a considerable amount of money,'' Buffett said, adding that if he had $700 billion on the government's terms to buy distressed assets, he would. "
"Unfortunately, I'm tapped out,'' he said.
In related news, the US Federal Reserve announced earlier Wednesday that it is pumping another $30 billion into the global financial system, in a coordinated action with central banks in Australia, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
