“Jew Flu”: With Friends Like These, Who Needs Enemies
Lenin called those who work against their own people’s best interests in support of their enemies “helpful idiots,” and I am sure that many in the Arab world feel the same way about entities like J Street and Peter Beinart . Throughout history – both ancient and modern, there has never been a shortage of people or groups from within and without the Jewish community who harm Jews – and the most effective stick for beating Israel over the head is a Jewish or Israeli stick.
Did the GOP and the Dems collude on the eligibility question. UPDATED
Is Obama a “natural born citizen” or even a citizen?
By Ted Belman (first posted a year ago)
It appears, a deal was cut in 2008 to validate both John McCain and Barack Obama as eligible for the position of President though it was likely, neither were.
I recently posted a video under the title Obama is clearly not constitutionally eligible to be President. While, in my opinion this title was accurate the video didn’t necessarily substantiate it.
The video discusses all the clauses of Senate Resolution 511. It clearly stated that one must be a natural born citizen to be President and that this term was defined by the First Congress. Not quite.The First Congress, on March 26, 1790, approved an act that declared, “The children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or outside the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural-born citizens of the United States.” But fivce years later it was repealed. But this statute did not constitute a constitutional amendment. Either the courts must use rules of interpretation to interpret it or a constitutional amendment is necessary.
This resolution was passed with unanimous consent without a recorded vote and averred,
Obama Natural Born Conspiracy
Evidence Broadens
By JB Williams
Evidence that we have a fraud and a usurper currently residing in the people’s White House is overwhelming, despite the overt lack of journalistic investigating on the part of the American press. But now new evidence indicates that the conspiracy to carry out that fraud was much broader than originally thought.
The story of whom and what Barack Hussein Obama II really is – is a forty-year story that requires a book, not a column, to tell. Strong evidence suggests that he was being groomed from a very young age for the moment in history that would end American supremacy in the world, and usher in a new era of Global Marxist Governance.
But there was a major hurdle that had to be overcome – the U.S. Constitution, in this case, Article II – Section I – Clause V specifically, which requires that “no person except a natural-born citizen of the United States” can hold the office of President. – Obama is not a natural-born citizen of the United States…and may not even be a legal citizen of the United States. So, how can he be President?
This column focuses upon the period 2003-2008 and the political maneuvers that took place in order to make way for America’s first unconstitutional resident of the White House. (Read more…)
Israel’s Rocket-Hunting Ace Got His Start Playing Warcraft

Obama: The Affirmative Action President
BY Matt Patterson, AMERICAN THINKER
Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world’s largest economy, direct the world’s most powerful military, execute the world’s most consequential job?
Imagine a future historian examining Obama’s pre-presidential life: ushered into and through the Ivy League despite unremarkable grades and test scores along the way; a cushy non-job as a “community organizer”; a brief career as a state legislator devoid of legislative achievement (and in fact nearly devoid of his attention, so often did he vote “present”); and finally an unaccomplished single term in United States Senate, the entirety of which was devoted to his presidential ambitions. He left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature legislation as legislator.
Who believes this crap? Unfortunately, many.
by Barry Rubin, PJ MEDIA
The Washington Post continues to talk relatively sensibly about Middle East developments. And yet its latest editorial also shows the type of contortions necessary to avoid facing the awful truth of the situation in the region.
The editorial concludes:
- Election results notwithstanding, it seems clear that the vast majority of Egyptians as well as Tunisians seek economic progress and respect for human rights, and not a theocracy. Secular citizens and minorities, who make up a large part of the population, will not accept discrimination. Islamic movements will succeed in government, and retain their following, only if they recognize those realities.
Really? Let’s consider this text, as it reveals precisely how the Obama administration and the conventional wisdom in the U.S. policy establishment think about these issues:
As goes Migron, so goes Judea and Samaria
By JOSH HASTEN, JPOST
I fear that under our current leadership all of these communities are susceptible to dismantlement down the road.
The government recently decided to back the High Court of Justice ruling to evacuate the community of Migron by August 1, 2012. Per an agreement facilitated between Minister Bennie Begin and the residents of Migron, the community will be re-located just 2 km. away from its current site.
The Court’s rationale for tearing down a Jewish community over the so-called Green Line only to rebuild it almost literally just down the road is that the land on which Migron stands is, according to a 2006 petition filed by Peace Now, privately owned Arab land.
Holocaust Speaker Too Controversial for Purdue Calumet?
The Jewish Federation recently played a decisive role in the cancellation of a speaker on the Holocaust at Purdue University in Indiana. In withdrawing the invitation to Peggy Shapiro, an appointee to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, Michael Steinberg, the executive director of the Jewish Federation, voiced his concern about presenting a“politically sensitive topic on campus,” particularly upsetting representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood (the MSA). Muslim students on campus have filed numerous harassment claims against a political science professor at Purdue, who has been determined to confront Islamic jihad. (Imagine that! Someone trying to prevent the slaughter of infidels! What nerve!) Muslim students were offended when the professor demanded justice for Black Christians murdered by Muslims in Nigeria. (Yes, OFFENDED!)It’s certainly remarkable that the Jewish Federation would back out of a talk about the Holocaust!You can do your part by withholding all donations to the Federation, the largest Jewish philanthropic organization in the world. If you donate to this organization, YOU are supporting actions like this as well as a program that sends American college students to meet with Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas operatives.Janet Levy, Los Angeles
Another mockery of the free and open exchange of ideas has unfolded in Indiana. Last week, Purdue University Calumet had the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), along with anti-Israel activist Sefi Samuel speak on campus. Yet the university’s history department, in conjunction with the local Jewish Federation, played a role in the cancellation of another speaker, Peggy Shapiro, two weeks ago.Ms. Shapiro is the Midwest director of StandWithUs, an organization “dedicated to informing the public about Israel and to combating the extremism and anti-Semitism that often distorts the issues.” She was a special appointee to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council and is also the child of Holocaust survivors. (NOTE: StandWithUs (and ZOA) is aware that the Jewish Federation and Hillel promote and provide financial and logistical support for a program that sends American college students to meet with Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas operatives (Olive Tree Initiative (OTI)). A former StandWithUs employee has served as a tour guide for the OTI. - J.L.)

Hey Obama, keep the change.
by Rich Carroll
Mr. Hope and Change wants to create a nation humbled; humiliated, casting-aside capitalism and individual freedoms for one where we the people are government controlled. This would be a system that genuflects mediocrity, steals personal aspiration and opportunity, and punishes those who strive to succeed.
A gallon of regular gasoline the day Obama was inaugurated was $1.79 on average in the U.S. Today that price is $3.59, a 100.6% increase. The number of food stamp recipients has risen since Obama took office from 31,983,716 to 43,200,878, a 35.1% jump. Long term unemployment soared 146.2% during the same 34 month period from 2,600,000 to 6,400,000. Staggering hope and change isn’t it?
PA has little choice but to engage Netanyahu
[THAT'S THE BAD NEWS. IS THERE ANY GOOD NEWS. TED BELMAN]
Meeting between Fayyad, PM may be sign that PA is rethinking its tactics as world is focused elsewhere.
The Quartet – made up of the US, EU, Russia and UN – is expected to issue yet another call for direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians following a high-level meeting in Washington on Wednesday.
But this time, unlike any other time during Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s tenure, the Palestinians may turn out to be somewhat more amenable, if only because since they broke off the low-level talks in Jordan in January that lasted a month, they have pretty much been pushed off the world’s radar screen – definitely not a place where they want to be.
Why is Israel so happy? What, me worry?
Op-ed: What’s Israel’s secret, which allowed Jewish state to rank 14th on global Happiness Report?
Israel ranked 14th in the United Nations’ first World Happiness Report. The list is headed by Denmark, Finland, Norway and the Netherlands, the paradises of political correctness, welfare, anti-war, ultra-liberal and anti-nationalistic feelings, beacons which, according to the Global Peace Index, topped the list of the most “peaceful” places in the world.
So how can we explain the happiness of Israel, the only civilized country under mortal danger, the only nation without recognized borders and globally selected to be an emblem of evil?
Intervention in Syria looks more likely
Israeli officials say it remains unclear how far Washington will go to help bring about Assad’s downfall. They say Syria might become a failed state if the unrest continues, with Hezbollah and Iran on one side and Al-Qaida-inspired Sunnis on the other consolidating footholds.The consensus in the Israeli intelligence community is that Assad sooner or later will be ousted. “Assad is past the point of no return,” says a senior cabinet minister. “He won’t be able to restore his position as Syria’s undisputed leader. His victory visit to Homs should be taken with a pinch of salt. Resistance is growing, even in Damascus.”Israeli officials are also concerned about reports showing Syrian weapons falling into Hezbollah’s hands, though it is still unclear whether the Shi’ite organization has gotten hold of chemical weapons.

But there’s one big difference between the situation in Bosnia and that in Syria: This time, the clock is moving faster.
Although the Obama administration still hopes to avoid military intervention in Syria and is publicly backing a U.N. effort to broker a cease-fire this week, it has also stepped deliberately onto a slippery slope that is likely to lead to more intervention.
Unlike with Bosnia, where the United States and its allies initially sought to be neutral in a civil war, this time the U.S. has already chosen a side: It has called on Syria’s dictator, Bashar Assad, to step down, and it has embraced the opposition Syrian National Council.
At a meeting in Istanbul last week, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced an escalation of U.S. aid to the opposition. In public, she pointed to a doubling of medical and other humanitarian aid, plus the provision of communication equipment. Less publicly, officials confirmed that the new package also includes “non-lethal” help that will go to the Free Syrian Army, the newly formed opposition armed forces, including night-vision goggles and U.S. intelligence information such as early warnings of Syrian troop movements.
Nazis Were Given ‘Safe Haven’ in U.S., Report Says
WASHINGTON — A secret history of the United States government’s Nazi-hunting operation concludes that American intelligence officials created a “safe haven” in the United States for Nazis and their collaborators after World War II, and it details decades of clashes, often hidden, with other nations over war criminals here and abroad.
The 600-page report, which the Justice Department has tried to keep secret for four years, provides new evidence about more than two dozen of the most notorious Nazi cases of the last three decades.
It describes the government’s posthumous pursuit of Dr. Josef Mengele, the so-called Angel of Death at Auschwitz, part of whose scalp was kept in a Justice Department official’s drawer; the vigilante killing of a former Waffen SS soldier in New Jersey; and the government’s mistaken identification of the Treblinka concentration camp guard known as Ivan the Terrible.
