FORMER beauty queen and Sydney socialite Lady Michele Renouf is the secret force behind a campaign to free an Australian teacher facing jail in Germany for being a Holocaust denier.

Gerald Frederick Toben was arrested at his seat on a plane at Heathrow Airport two weeks ago by British police on a request from German authorities.

He is charged with inciting racism and xenophobia through posting on the internet alleged anti-Semitic and or revisionist views, denying there was a mass murder of Jews during World War II.

He was to represent himself in court for an extradition hearing to send him to Germany from Britain, where he was in transit enroute to Dubai, but Lady Renouf has stepped in and assembled a legal team to not only get him out of British detention but challenge the validity of European warrants that can see people arrested in one country at the behest of another.

Lady Renouf, briefly married to millionaire financier Sir Frank “The Bank” Renouf, said it was a matter of principal her friend Dr Toben got the best help and the Germans not be allowed to curtail freedom of speech.

She said she was not a revisionist and something “bad” did happen to the Jews during the war, but on principal she supported people like Dr Toben and renowned Holocaust denier David Irving for the sake of freedom of expression.

Revisionism, she said, was not an ideology but a historical method. The 61-year-old former model and Miss Newcastle 1968 said people might not like what Dr Toben stood for but it was his and others’ right to freely express themselves.

“My interest is in making sure we don’t have laws that we say we don’t accept and yet we allow to come in to the back door,” she said yesterday.

Dr Toben’s solicitor Kevin Lowry-Mullins said his client was in good cheer and health and was stoic in the face of potentially being extradited and serving up to five years in a German prison.


“Watch Ukraine!”

John McCain said it twice, once during the first presidential debate:

“And watch Ukraine. This whole thing has got a lot to do with Ukraine, Crimea, the base of the Russian fleet in Sevastopol. And the breakdown of the political process in Ukraine between Tymoshenko and Yushchenko is a very serious problem. So watch Ukraine, and let’s make sure that we – that the Ukrainians understand that we are their friend and ally.”

And again during the second match-up with Barack Obama:

“I said before, watch Ukraine. Ukraine, right now, is in the sights of Vladimir Putin, those that want to reassemble the old Soviet Union. We’ve got to show moral support for Georgia. We’ve got to show moral support for Ukraine. We’ve got to advocate for their membership in NATO.”

Most Americans have no idea where Ukraine is, much less any interest in watching it, but just on the premise that McCain’s connections with the War Party give him the inside scoop on where the next phony foreign policy “crisis” is going to erupt, let’s take his advice and start watching Ukraine with the help of our Antiwar.com microscope… CLICK BELOW LINK FOR FULL STORY

“Until we question something, nothing is true”-the florida rebel. Below is a compilation of links, including: articles, essays, writings, and mp3 clips, based upon the “six million lie”. The lie that claims, six million jews were killed in concentration camps during the time of WWII. No doubt POW camps were built to house internees, that had proclaimed, and declared war on Germany. Was it not, the Jews who declared war on Germany?? Posted in news papers read, “Judea declares war on Germany”. So why is it so hard to realize that when war is declared uopn you, you gather all opponents, and put them in a solitary structure, so they don’t carry out acts of violence against the military who is fighting against the declarers of war? All peoples, of every nationality were interned in the Camps of WWII, including: Polish, German, American, and any others who declared war on Germany. Note to reader, American camps during the war…… wait did I say American camps???? YES I DID. In a pain staking effort to, justify American patricipation in POW acts, as “non-violent”, non-prisoner, related, America called these, Japanese, POW’s, “dislocated people”. As far as the American Propagandist media was concerned, these people were not, prisoners, and they were not internees. Instead of dubbing these places “concentration camps”, which they had defined the facilities in Europe, the American government convientily named these structures, “Relocation facilities”. People being taken from their homes, and placed in a prison. Why are they “relocation facilities”, for the American media, and “concentration camps” for the rest of the world. I sence a bit of American elitist propaganda already. I beg of you to view this video clip showing American camps, and realize the same, propaganda was used for all media releases. If you believe “nazi-concentration camp, video footage, was real, then you must believe this footage is real, leaving you in no place to be upset about concentration camps. If what was done in these camps is true, America is guilty of more crimes than Hitler, due to the fact that the People in the American camps never declared war on America. The POW’s (jews) in the European camps did in fact declare war.

The first clip is American (so called, relocation), camps, showing the Japanese concentration camps, constructed after Pearl Harbor attacks, dubbing all Japanese living in America, as enimies of war. The second clip, proves the declaration of war upon Germany, before Hitler took power, and the third clip, shows how propaganda can infiltrate, fumigate, and rape the minds of unknowing people. Please pay attention to the second clip, the diolague stating, the “jews claimed 6 million dead 20 years before Hitler took power. The second clips host is Dr. Toben, currently imprisoned for thought crimes. He is jailed for thinking. Please, after watching the second clip, watch part 3, 4, 5 etc. The. entire film “Judea declares war on Germany” is on www.youtube.com. If you, now, have an ounce of doubt about the holocaust, please support all holocaust revisionist POW’s. Follow these links to support minds of free thought. Including one of my posts about the”supposed gas chambers”. First read the links of the Thought crime POW’s then explore the literature, on the web to back it up. IF YOU THINK THE GOVERNMENT IS LYING TO US NOW, (and most people do) WHY CANT YOU ASSUME THEY WERE LYING TO US THEN????

According to the Britain’s highest military commander in Afghanistan, Brigadier Mark Carleton-Smith,

We’re not going to win this war.” This is in stark contrast to the political rhetoric of our two presidential candidates, who are both calling for more troops to be deployed in Afghanistan. According to Obama, “We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there.” [The sound bite "just air-raiding villages and killing civilians" is being used in a new McCain attack ad painting Obama as "dishonorable." And John McCain claims, "We've got a lot of work to do in Afghanistan. But I'm confident, now that General Petraeus is in the new position of command [as the commander of US Central Command he will oversee US military involvement across the Middle East, including Iraq, as well as Afghanistan, Pakistan and other Central Asian nations], that we will employ a strategy [modeled after the surge in Iraq]… It’s a strategy that will succeed.”  CLICK BELOW LINK FOR FULL STORY.

U.S. Military Increasingly Privatized

U.S. government has lost track of massive private contractor army operating in active U.S. war zones

rss202

By Richard Walker

The next president will find that private contractors have not only benefited from the war on terror and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq but they have become an integral and expanding part of America’s military-industrial structure.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO)—says there has been a 78 percent increase in Department of Defense spending on private sector services since 2001. The money spent has exceeded by a wide margin DOD spending on supplies, equipment and weapons systems. This expanding role of the private sector has led to a diminishing government-employee workforce and less oversight of contracts, resulting in numerous examples of fraud and wasteful spending.

Since 2003, the Army’s hiring body, the CCE— Contracting Center of Excellence—has begun to rely on contractor specialists, with the result that contractor employees now represent more than 42 percent of the CCE workforce. Many in Congress fear contractor employees may be perceived to be speaking for the government. They are also paid considerably more than their government counterparts.

A major concern for those investigating fraud is that contractor employees are frequently the point of contact for the DOD when dealing with private-sector contracts. According to a GAO report, the DOD’s growing dependence on private sector goods and services has doubled in seven years and is a trend likely to increase over time. In 2007, the DOD signed $270 billion in contracts and, according to the GAO, “faced vulnerabilities to contracting fraud, waste and abuse due to weaknesses.”

A critical weakness was the growing lack of government control over the massive dollar amount paid private companies. In many instances, the specialists determining the value and terms of contracts were specialists hired from the private sector. One of the most egregious examples of waste was the way the DOD used a technique offering financial incentives to improve the performance of private companies. In effect, the technique resembled rewarding a child for an excellent school project but in this case it wasn’t a matter of a star attached to a project but billions of dollars paid out as performance awards. As a result, an estimated $8 billion in awards was shared among contractors.

“Furthermore, the DOD gave contractors a second opportunity to earn an estimated $669 million of initially unearned or deferred fees on approximately half of the award-fee contracts,” said a GAO report.

The problems of waste and the unregulated growth of the private sector in relation to defense spending has been an issue for decades but the sharp spike in the expansion of the contractor work force, and the shrinking numbers of government employees, were particularly striking in the 1990s. From 1992 until 1999, DOD contracts with the private sector expanded from $39.9 billion to $51.8 billion. The services included repair to equipment, medical care, technical and clerical support and management oversight.

As a consequence, the government workforce declined from 966,000 in 1996 to 682,000 by 2000 but even then it was almost impossible to get accurate figures for the value of contracts awarded to private companies. In 1999, a figure of $96.5 billion was reported by several government employees’ unions but was not confirmed by government.

EXPLOSION IN MILITARY USE OF CONTRACTORS

In subsequent years, the role of the private sector has increased beyond anyone’s expectations. In 2007, $254 billion was funneled directly to approximately 100 companies with 10 of those companies awarded the lion’s share, estimated at approximately $130 billion. The smallest contract awarded to any company was approximately $500 million.

The GAO has softened its stance on the DOD’s growing reliance on the private sector, telling Congress earlier this year that the services provided have helped the ongoing missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. For example, there are now 196,000 contractors in those two war zones. In Iraq alone, there are three brigades of security contractors with another brigade providing them with support.

Other contractors work as interpreters, weapons systems analysts, depot-level maintenance crews, communication specialists and food and housing suppliers. Contractors are also working for the DOD in parts of South East Asia. In essence, GAO reports and statements tend to imply that the modern U.S. military cannot function adequately without a massive private
sector input.

Nonetheless, the GAO has admitted it may be time to examine whether the Pentagon needs to be so dependent on contractors to provide essential services.

It may also be an opportune time to improve the surveillance of the contracting system because the DOD, in the words of the GAO, “will continue to be vulnerable to contracting fraud, waste and abuse.”

In May 2008, Mary Ungone, deputy inspector general of defense, admitted to Congress that the DOD “did not maintain adequate internal controls over commercial payments and that $7.2 billion out of a pool of $8.2 billion did not meet all statutory regulations.”

She conceded that approximately $1.4 billion “lacked the minimum documentation for a valid payment” and 28 transactions worth $35 million appeared to involve criminal activity. The Congressional Oversight and Government Reform Committee chaired by Rep. Henry Waxman, (D-Calif.), was not satisfied with her evidence and suggested there were probably 7,000 potentially criminal cases of fraud to be examined. Waxman also claimed that the IOTC International Oil Company Ltd. was charging the Pentagon $1.08 over the market price of each gallon of jet fuel delivered to the U.S. military in Iraq.

The most striking examples of fraud have involved companies like Kellogg Brown and Root, which was a subsidiary of Halliburton when Vice President Dick Cheney was its CEO. KBR has made huge profits with no-bid contracts that were negotiated without definite time frames and on the basis that cost overruns would be met no matter how high they were. In other words, if KBR were to bill for tens of millions beyond the initial estimate of a contract the DOD would pay up. In one instance, KBR was judged to have fraudulently billed for $1 billion, yet attempts to stop the payment were thwarted with approval from the White House.

Critics argue that the use of a massive private sector army and the expenditure of hundreds of billions for other services are creating a new, out of control military-industrial juggernaut. They point to the late general and president, Dwight Eisenhower, who warned when leaving office in 1961 that Americans should be alert to the growing influence of the arms industry within the military. It was the Cold War and an arms race was under way, yet he saw the danger of private weapons companies acquiring what he called “unwarranted influence” on America’s political and military policy making. He became the first person to use the term, “military-industrial complex,” suggesting that its growth could impact not only the military but the spiritual and economic life of the nation.

Some members of Congress are deeply concerned about the growing privatization of the DOD and argue it is a trend that could have the outcome President Eisenhower warned about. Any decisions on whether to change course on how the U.S. military functions, and how it is financed, will be a task for the next president.

Ultimately, accountability lies at the heart of the matter, following a decade when there has been little oversight of the hundreds of billions of tax dollars that have flowed into the coffers of private corporations, some of whom continue to outsource work to hundreds of companies abroad and rarely provide their books for scrutiny. At the apex of government there is a need for transparency that will allow the public to learn the true financial cost of the expanding contractor phenomenon. Only then can a debate be launched to examine whether this is the right course for the future of the military.

November 4, 2008 marks the first time in U.S. history whereby countless foreign nationals known as illegal aliens or non-citizens—may contaminate the U.S. presidential and Congressional elections. When all it takes to win may be a few percentage points, illegal aliens grow in their power to throw an election.

A recent report shows 80,000 Chicago illegals registered to vote: “But won’t show up at jury summons,” wrote Mark Burkhalter, for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper published on: 07/15/08. Chicago features 2.1 million illegal aliens within Richard Daley’s “Sanctuary City.” Cities such as Los Angeles, with upwards of 3.1 million illegal aliens, feature even more voters swinging the vote for the presidency.

David Simcox, “How many non-citizen voters?” in the Social Contract, summer 2008, Vol. XVIII, No. 4, thesocialcontract.com, said, “…non-citizen voters in 1996 provided the narrow winning margin in Democrat Loretta Sanchez’s upset of long-time incumbent Republican Bob Dornan in California’s 47th Congressional district in Orange County. They believe that the incident was not isolated and that it presaged a growing threat to good government in general.”

Simcox continued, “Indicators of significant registration of non-citizens continue to pop up, and the current vast voter registration campaigns of Hispanic and Asian interests since Congress’s 2006 rejection of mass amnesty may force local registrars to increase their rubber-stamping of applications, producing new legions of non-citizens to vote in 2008.”

One of the most disturbing placards in the LA and Chicago illegal alien marches, read, “Today we march; tomorrow we vote!”

As shown in the Chicago piece by Burkhalter, illegal aliens already vote in large numbers.

In the 2001, an article in “Insight on the News,” read, “Motor-voter Law Responsible for Increases in Voter Fraud.”

“It claimed that two to four percent of votes in the 2000 presidential election were cast by non-citizens, and in some Florida counties 10 to 15 percent of votes were cast by non-citizens,” Simcox said. “To bring this number into perspective, in Florida’s Miami-Dade County, over half the population is foreign born and nearly a third of the voting age population is non-citizen.

“The U.S. Border Control found that between 1994 and 1998, Hispanic voter registration in Florida soared by 557 percent, from less than 100,000 to 655,000. In Miami-Dade County in the same period the number of Hispanic registered voters increased twenty fold.”

Simcox found in 2004 that naturalized citizens make up 61.4 percent of voter registration while non-citizens account for 300,000 of those registrations. That’s a lot of fraud!

“If these figures for non-citizen registration in California, home to more than one-quarter of the country’s non-citizens, are projected, they imply registration of non-citizen voters between 600,000 and 1.71 million,” Simcox said.

He suggests those figures lend toward a total illegal voting population from 1.2 to 2.7 million for the entire USA.

Can illegal aliens determine the outcome of our presidential or Congressional races? You can bet your bottom dollar they can! Ask Al Gore about Florida!

1 – In the 2004 Virginia Senate race, Democrat Jim Webb shaded out George Allen by 7,231 votes. This study estimates 42,000 votes cast by illegal aliens.
2 – In Washington State, Christine Gregoire won the Governor’s race by 261 votes.
3 – In 2004, Democratic candidate John Kerry lost Nevada’s electoral votes by a margin of only 22,000 votes with 25,600 votes cast by non-citizens.

Motor-voter registration laws promote fraud in New York. “In 2004, a large portion of the 250,000 persons issued New York State drivers’ license while providing erroneous social security numbers were illegal aliens who were registered to vote under the procedures of the Motor-Voter law,” Simcox said.

Many states don’t check including Colorado, Iowa and South Dakota. That holds true in “Sanctuary Cities” like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Miami, Denver and 30 more.

“Absentee and mail-in ballots,” said Simcox, “reduce the risk to non-citizens of facing challenges at the polling place. A full 31 percent of votes were cast by mail-in for California; 32 percent in Arizona and 29 percent in Colorado. In those jurisdictions, non-citizens can register on-line or by mail and cast ballots without risking face to face challenges or scrutiny at the registration office or at the polls. An extensive report by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement on voter fraud, much of it in Miami-Dade, saw absentee voting as the greatest facilitator of fraud.”

As I said in the past, we face “Third World Momentum” whereby corruption becomes a mechanism that dominates poor countries. When millions of their citizens migrate into the U.S., they manifest their own corruption as a matter of course and personal entitlement. One look at millions of identification forgeries, people smuggling, cock fighting rings, dog fighting syndicates, drug smuggling, voter fraud and anchor babies—all paid for by U.S. citizens—marks a degradation of the rule of law in America.

“DemocraciaUSA, VotoLatino and Project Vote work with La Raza, League of United Latin American Citizens and gain funding by People for the American Way and Pew,” said Simcox. “In Los Angeles, local college chapters of Aztlan Chicano Student movement have joined the Latino get out the vote effort.”

With the current crackdown on illegals, they find a new urgency: “Si no votan, nos botan!” (If you don’t vote, they’ll throw us out!”)

“There is no less urgency for citizens, naturalized and native,” Simcox said. “They must decide whether voting should remain an exclusive attribute of citizenship and demand the safeguards to make it so.”

With as high as 2.7 million illegal aliens voting in this November’s election for president and Congressional candidates, along with very thin margins, it’s quite possible that the next president of the United States may be voted into office by illegal aliens. That harsh reality illustrates America’s degradation toward “Third World Momentum” and the loss of this Republic.

*There is currently a campaign underway to honor a convicted cop-killer from Philadelphia named Mumia Abu-Jamal.

*Mumia Abu-Jamal was convicted for the 1981 killing of a Philadelphia Police Officer.

*It does a disservice to the citizens of New York City to name a street after an un-repentant murderer.

*The facts of the case are available at danielfaulkner.com

Petition:
We, the undersigned, call upon the New York City Council to not name any street within the city of New York after Mumia Abu-Jamal.

As the convicted murderer of a Philadelphia Police Officer in 1981, Mumia Abu-Jamal is not deserving of such an honor.

To name a street after an imprisoned killer of a civil servant is not only a slap in the face to the law enforcement community, but also the public at large.

What is clear from the behavior of European financial markets over the past two weeks is that the dramatic stories of financial meltdown and panic are deliberately being used by certain influential factions in and outside the EU to shape the future face of global banking in the wake of the US sub-prime and Asset-Backed Security (ABS) debacle. The most interesting development in recent days has been the unified and strong position of the German Chancellor, Finance Minister, Bundesbank and coalition Government, all opposing an American-style EU Superfund bank bailout.

Part of the psychology of the Greenspan Bubble – a policy of bank credit expansion that distorted market

 signals and led to the over-valuation of certain assets, such as real estate – has been the vaunted overestimation of America’s staying power as a global hegemon. Standing alongside the hubris that brought down the financial edifices of Bear Stearns and Goldman Sachs is the foreign policy corollary: the triumphalism of the neoconservatives, who imagined that American military power could solve all the world’s problems: or, at least, most of our own. They sneered at the “declinists,” like Paul Kennedy, who pointed to “imperial overstretch” as the cause of our impending economic and geopolitical demise.

“Until we question something, nothing is true”-the florida rebel.I recently, just made my (at least, 500th), extremely, high dollar purchase, of something that has never made me, (in the past), feel like it was controlling my life; and I’m now suffering the, syndrome known as, “buyers remorse. I did, however justify this purchase by allowing myself to remember, that I do, indeed, need this to survive. Although, this “high dollar item”, costs me at least $250 a month, I still have to use it, I cannot stop. I cannot suppress, my addiction, to this thief of my future, this criminal of my life, and yet my reliance upon this chemical has caused me to spend all of my earned wages, just to be able to return to work, so I can assume more income, just to buy this chemical, which I am addicted. Yes, I am admitting, the bowed head, somber admittance of an addict. I am asking you, readers of this essay, to please not judge me for spending all of my money, and sometimes, even stooping so low, as to walk, miles, and miles, in the hot sun to get this, just because I ran out and didn’t know what to do. Sometimes, I would expel my supply, and not even be able to get to work. I have accepted this, grotesque, “feeling of freedom”, is controlling me from every angle of my life, and I cant stop spending all of my money on it. Please help me, I’m crying out as an addict; who has been subjected to the worst chemical, drug to ever pass the face of any human being. I will now, at the risk of exposing my secret, tell you what I am talking about. I am talking about the worst chemical ever consumed by human beings; no joke, please keep your children, and loved ones away from this massacre of our entire population. Today this is a more rampant killer than any other drug that has ever graced the noses of the American consumer. Are you ready? This drug I am using everyday is called “PETROL”. I am addicted to petroleum, or as we in America call it: GASOLINE!! No I do not inhale, or huff, gas. I’m referring to our “addiction to the PUMP”. We, as Americans, have, in our laziness, allowed big corporate, government to control our pocketbooks. Please get this essay, and realize; the addiction, to transportation, adhered to, by the population of America, is only going to promote (the big governing bodies), known as “corporate America” . -Patriots revolt, revolution is now, it’s time to get it done.- The Florida Rebel
