AWKAR 2, whereby the T. Wing within the Lebanese Government's Security apparatus is utterly controlled by CIA/DIA wall to wall....





(HK, Elie HOBEIKA, and his 3 wonderful comrades, cowardly assassinated by the infamous White House Murder INC, May God avenge their blood several times over...)


أن الوزير الراحل شهيدنا البطل الرئيس ايلي حبيقة لم يترك المطر وحده يروي الأرض، فسالت دماؤه غزيرة تروي أرض لبنان التي أحبّ، مؤكداً ما ردّده دائماً "أنّ الحياة انتصار للأقوياء في نفوسهم لا للضعفاء

Awkar is home to the infamous US Embassy in Lebanon, a despicable den of spies and barbaric KILLERS/Murderers for decades.
...

The most infamous White House Murder INC's extrajudicial operations carefully replicated in Lebanon and beyond since January 24th 2002 in Hazmieh, a tested and proven technique in order to achieve a desired result. This is hardly surprising. Intelligence operations involving assassinations are rarely experimental; they are meticulously designed on the basis of lessons drawn from previous operations. To do otherwise would be risky, and intelligence bureaucracies tend to be risk-averse. If an operational method appears to bear the desired outcomes, it will continue to be used until some major parameter in the overall equation changes drastically....

The second conclusion that can be drawn from the Elie HOBEIKA assassination is that it was part of a discernible pattern, which points to what intelligence planners often call a “decapitation operation”. The idea behind it is to disrupt or impair the actions of an organized group or entity by neutralizing its leadership....

AWKAR 2, whereby the T.

Whenever I hear the words "conspiracy theory" (which seems more often, lately) it usually means someone is getting too close to the truth....

“Half the truth is often a great lie.” – Benjamin Franklin




"التعامل مع الاستخبارات الاميركية هو كالتعامل مع "الموساد
لبنان ساحة مخترقة وعجينة لينة بيد "الصديق" الاميركي


الطبقة الرقيقة التي تغطي رأس جبل الجليد

«مطبخ الجواسيس» بيروت ونشاط الـ«سي أي ايه»



- اظهار حجم الاستباحة الاميركية للنسيج اللبناني، ومدى تغلغل الـ«سي أي إيه» في مفاصل لبنان سياسيا واقتصاديا وتجاريا وماليا وامنيا وعسكريا ودبلوماسيا واعلاميا وفنيا وثقافيا واجتماعيا.. والى آخر ما هنالك من قطاعات، بما فيها قطاع المنظمات غير الحكومية


....أن الاميركيين والاسرائيليين وجهان لعملة واحدة تجمعهما مصلحة واحدة وهدف واحد هو النيل من لبنان

التذكير بأن كل الادبيات السياسية اللبنانية تقول، أقله لفظاً، ان التعامل مع المخابرات الاسرائيلية هو جريمة، وطالما ان الاميركيين يتجسسون لمصلحة اسرائيل، فمعنى ذلك ان التعامل مع الاستخبارات الاميركية جريمة، فضلاً عن ان التجسس وتهديد امن وسلامة الدولة والتخابر مع دولة اجنبية هي افعال جرمية يعاقب مرتكبها قانونياً


أن التحدي كبير امامنا، وأن العقل الاميركي والاسرائيلي الخبيث لن يتوقف عن نسج الفخاخ والكمائن ضدنا... وهذه حرب كر وفر.. ويوم لك ويوم عليك

وأخطر ما يحكم السلوك الروسي المؤيد لسوريا الآن هو حلم موسكو الحصول على امتياز التنقيب عن النفط والغاز قبالة السواحل اللبنانية، وهو مشروع ضخم تم التجهيز له في دمشق وفي لبنان

ويعرف اصدقاء سورية في لبنان وعلى رأسهم طلال سلمان الذي ينط مثل السعدان كلما اخبره نهاد المشنوق خبرية نقلا عن ناكوزي نقلا عن بترايوس الذي اصبح اماما لطائفة السي آي ايه في واشنطن وحول العالم والتي ينتمي اليها الاف اللبنانيين واللبنانيات ومنهم كثير من الاعلاميين والسياسيين ومسؤولين عسكريين خاصة وامنيين


ألم أقُل لكم إن الملف السوري من الخطورة بحيث إذا انفجر فإن شظاياه سوف تتناثر على المنطقة ك
لها؟
امتحان مصيري ساحق للبنان وقواه السياسية "دود الخل سي اي اي منه وفيه" في القدرة على الحماية تحت وطأة العودة الى السليقة القاتلة، سليقة القفز الى حفرة النار


Christ tells us not to fear those who can kill our bodies, but only those who can kill our souls....


This is an important aspect of ongoing American hegemony in contemporary world affairs: the United States, as the criminal hegemon (even if a declining and utterly crumbling one), can invoke and even distort international law for its purposes, but has multiple ways to forestall having international law invoked against it.... An American unipolarity is the only international system in which “balancing”—that is, a state taking normal steps in its military-intelligence posture and its foreign policy to defend itself against a more powerful state (like a global hegemon)—is considered “revisionist” or, “destabilizing” behavior....LOL

October surprise II

Obama is being "Jimmy Cartered" out of office by his Arch-Neocon CIA director....

December , 2011 -- Has Petraeus set up Obama for a 1980-style fall...?

When he heard that one of his top military commanders, General David Petraeus, was talking to top GOP officials, including former Vice President Dick assassin Cheney, [ Head of the most Infamous White House Murder INC, ] in 2010 about challenging Obama for the presidency, President Obama and his advisers decided the best way to neutralize Petraeus was to make him the CIA director and take him out of the running for the presidency.... There was only one slight problem. Petraeus was nicknamed General "Betray-us" by his troops in Iraq and Afghanistan for a reason. If Petraeus, a "think tank" general, was capable of betraying his own troops in the field, why not his commander-in-chief?

Recent major failures of the CIA in its drone operations in the Middle East and Africa have some congressional sources wondering what is afoot with the CIA. Those in Washington with long memories recall how one of President Jimmy Carter's National Security Council staffers, on loan from the CIA, was feeding classified information on the Iran hostage situation, on sensitive negotiations with Tehran that sought a possible "October Surprise" by Carter to get the U.S. embassy hostages released by the Iranian government prior to the November election. The information was funneled by the staffer to Ronald Reagan's campaign director William Casey and the vice presidential nominee George H. W. Bush. The NSC staffer feeding the information to Casey and Bush was one Robert Gates. Gates would go on to become CIA director under President Bush 41 and Defense Secretary under Bush 43 and Obama.

Under Petraeus's watch the CIA has experienced its worst failures since those that occurred in its failure to foresee the Iranian embassy hostage situation that helped sink any possibility of a second term for President Carter's. And, perhaps not coincidentally, the failures, once again, partly involve Iran.

If Petraeus were to receive a report card for his time at the helm in Langley, it would be:

Clandestine Operations Lebanon F
Clandestine Operations Iran F
Drone Operations F

Petraeus's first major failure, Lebanon, involved Hezbollah's exposure of the CIA's agent network in the country... The CIA station chief, Daniel Patrick McFeely, has been outed as the CIA station chief at the U.S. embassy in the Awkar2 neighborhood of Beirut and its crooked T. Wing....at the G2.... Not only was Hezbollah able to out McFeely, who operates as "official cover" as part of the embassy staff, but they identified his predecessor, Louis Kahi....

By
conducting surveillance of meetings at Pizza Huts and Starbucks in Lebanon between CIA case officers and agents, Hezbollah -- and their Iranian allies -- were able to construct the CIA's network that included over 1000 top Lebanese politicians, academics, medical doctors, journalists, military personnel, and celebrities. Essentially, the CIA's network in Lebanon has been largely rolled up. According to Al-Manar television The code names of the agents, names like Nick, Jim, Youssef, Liza and Jonah, were also exposed....LOL

The U.S. corporate media has refrained from publishing the names of the CIA station chiefs or the cover names of their Lebanese agents.....

Almost simultaneous to the Lebanon roll up, Iran announced it discovered a network composed of at least 42 CIA agents in Iran, operatives that worked in nuclear and other scientific centers, the military, biotechnology, and various universities. Iran's chief prosecutor has indicted fifteen of the 42 for espionage on behalf of the CIA and MOSSAD....the Siamese Twins since 1995 and the Clean Break.

On November 26, a U.S. air strike killed 24 Pakistani military personnel on the Pakistani border with Afghanistan. The incident, which frayed already poor relations between the United States Pakistan, resulted in the U.S. being expelled from the CIA's Shamsi airbase in Pakistan, one from which drones were launched, with few successes and many failures, against "terror" targets in Pakistan's volatile mountainous frontier region bordering Afghanistan.

The debacle that resulted in the loss of the Shamsi drone base was followed by the biggest intelligence failure to date, the downing by accident or hostile action, of an RQ-170 Sentinel "stealth"-enabled drone over Iran... President Obama was under pressure to launch a commando raid on Iran to retrieve the state-of-the art technology drone or bomb it and its security detail once it was discovered to be in Iranian hands. Obama chose to ask the Iranians to return the drone to the United States, something Tehran has refused to do, without, at the very least, an official apology.

Obama now has on his hands his Jimmy Carter moment and Petraeus has been manipulating all the "joy sticks" from his perch at crooked Langley.... Obama's potential opponents, including arch-neocon and uber-war hawk Newt Gingrich, are now pouncing on Obama as a weak and ineffectual president because he allowed the RQ-170 to fall into the hands of not only the Iranians, but possibly the Russians and Chinese who will attempt to re-engineer what is known as the mysterious "Beast of Kandahar" to leap frog and at least match the United States in stealth drone technology by years.

And just when Obama did not need any more bad news from his problematic CIA director, news came that an Air Force-operated MQ-9 Reaper drone on counter-terrorist and counter-piracy duty in the Indian Ocean crashed and burst into flames on landing at the international airport on Mahe island in the Seychelles. Most Air Force Reapers are remotely-piloted from Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Why would Petraeus risk his job as CIA director by embarrassing his commander-in-chief? For starters, being Vice President under President Gingrich or President Romney would be a much better job.....and he will be heading the Odious and the most Infamous White House Murder INC, from the despicable WH....


But then again, hubris tends to ignore the self evident. Sadly, naïveté is hubris's best friend with the price being paid by others for now... Blowback anyone?
The pain and suffering and death of the thousands and thousands of human beings versus the improved financial situation and subhuman satisfaction of the few…
My simple question is how come that the big-time war criminals and assassins within the infamous White House Murder INC, in the Levant and Worldwide, like Bush, Blair, Tenet, Rumsfeld, Sharon, Halevy, Dagan, Abrams, Rove and Cheney have not been excommunicated and anathematized by the Church or Temple....? And how come that the great Jewish tradition of humanism has been so thoroughly defaced by the American Neocons on such grand scale? These are of course rhetorical questions...

Nietzsche stumbled.

God is alive. Due process is dead.

President Barack W. BUSHObomba is God. He holds the power of life and death over every creature on the planet.

The Roman Senate waited until Caesar Augustus’s death for deification.

The United States Congress, by nonfeasance and appalling irresponsibility, has deified President Obama during his White House tenure.

Through the National Defense Authorization Act of 2012 and acquiescence in repeated executive usurpations, Congress has empowered President Obama to kill any person anywhere in the world who is secretly listed as an enemy on a list that’s reminiscent of the Lord High Executioner’s “Little List” in The Mikado. The putative “battlefield” is boundless. The standards for listing are secret. The evidence justifying a listing is secret. The legal justification for the assassinations is secret. The secrecy persists after the alleged enemy target is vaporized. No proof is proffered that the corpse had conspired or attempted or had actually engaged in hostilities against the United States; or, that capturing the victim for criminal prosecution or detention would have been unfeasible. Instead, the White House summons into being as its defense a counter-constitutional divine doctrine of presidential infallibility when it comes to killing suspected enemies. Due process is buried in the detritus of “collateral damage.”

But enshrined in Article 39 of the Magna Carta, due process is the very wellspring of civilization — the most important concept in the history of mankind. It recognizes that humans are prone to err. Cravings for money, power, domination, fame and vanity routinely distort truth-telling. Events or actions are multi-dimensional, not one-dimensional, and lend themselves to competing rational interpretations. Justice and human dignity alike require listening to all relevant parties before decisions are forthcoming. Due process should be honored because of what it says about us as a people. It is not saluted as a concession to enemy suspects.

When Russia killed Alexander Litvinenko with Polonium poisoning in London, the assassination was censured in the United States as tyranny... When Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei assassinated Shapour Bakhtiar, the last prime minister under the shah, the killing was assailed in the United States as state-sponsored terrorism...But when the barbaric assassins, George Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, Elliott Abrams, George Tenet, Ariel Sharon and Ephraim Halevy assassinated Mr. Elie HOBEIKA in Beirut Lebanon, January 24th 2002, using the infamous White House Murder INC, in the Levant together with Asef Shawkat's Syro-Lebanese Goons..., the whole Zioconned World remained MUM...And when United States citizens Anwar al-Awlaki, Samir Khan and al-Awlaki’s 16-year-old son were assassinated by President Obama in 2011 with predator drones, the United States applauded with virtually inaudible dissent.

In George Orwell’s Animal Farm, all animals were equal, but some were more equal than others. In the United States Empire, all assassinations are equal, but assassinations perpetrated by the United States president are innocent, while assassinations perpetrated by others are criminal.

The Roman historian Tacitus observed as the Roman Republic surrendered to the Roman Empire: “The worst crimes were dared by a few, willed by more and tolerated by all.” Ecclesiastes 1:9 NIV was prescient: “[T]here is nothing new under the sun.”

....فمنذ أغتيال الوزير الراحل شهيدنا البطل الرئيس ايلي حبيقة



أن الوزير الراحل شهيدنا البطل الرئيس ايلي حبيقة لم يترك المطر وحده يروي الأرض، فسالت دماؤه غزيرة تروي أرض لبنان التي أحبّ، مؤكداً ما ردّده دائماً "أنّ الحياة انتصار للأقوياء في نفوسهم لا للضعفاء

...كلّ شهداء الامس أصبحوا شهيداً واحداً

....فمنذ أغتيال الوزير الراحل شهيدنا البطل الرئيس ايلي حبيقة

شهداء التاريخ هم شهداء الوطن، وهؤلاء هم شهداء لبنان، كلّ لبنان وكلّ لبنانيّ
فبشهادتهم شهد لبنان شهادةً تاريخيّةً حافلةً بسيول دمائهم.
ومع شهادتهم أبكي وأنوح اليومَ لأنَّ الذين يعتبرون أنفسهم كبار الوطن اليوم، قد أزالوا كلَّ شهداء الماضي، شهداء الأمس، واكتفوا بشهيدٍ واحدٍ وهو شهيدهم.
أين هُدِرَ دم شهداء الأمس؟ أيّ موقعٍ يحتلّه شهداء الأمس في ذاكرتنا اليوم؟
فيا أهل الجبل، هل نسيتم أغتيال الوزير الراحل شهيدنا البطل الرئيس ايلي حبيقة وشهداءكم الذين سقطوا؟

ويا أهل البقاع، هل نسيتم شهداء زحلة في بداية الثمانينات؟
أمّا أنتم يا كسروانيون، هل نسيتم "الشيخ بشير"؟ ويا شماليون، هل نسيتم شهادة "الرئيس معوّض"؟
ولكن أهل الجنوب، لا وأقول مجدَّداً لا تنسَوا، شهداء المقاومة.
وانت يا بيروت "يا ستَّ الدنيا" هل نسيتِ شهداء الحرب، شهداء لبنان؟ فكيف تقبلين بأن تقتصر شهادة لبنان بشهيدٍ واحدٍ اليوم!!! فيا عينيّ، نعم اذرفوا الدموع على شهداء الأمس وعلى لبنان الذي نساكم!!!
فيا عاصمتنا بيروت، لك الحق كلَّ الحق، أن تبكي شهيدك، أن تقيمي ذكراه، أن تحيي روحه، أن ترفعي صوره، ولكن ليس من حقك ومن حقّ كبارك أن تمحوا شهداء الماضي من ذاكرتنا ومن تاريخنا ليبقى لنا شهيداً واحداً فقط ولا بديل عنه. بحقِّ السماء قولوا لي: كيف يمكن أن تقبلوا محو الماضي وشهادته وأن يُمحى دم الاستقلال ليحلَّ مكانهم شهيدٌ واحدٌ، وليصبح لكل لبنان، للمسيحيّ وللمسلم وللدرزيّ ولغير المؤمن شهيداً واحداً بدل الشهداء.
مَن أنتم – بحقّ الله – لكي تزوّروا تاريخنا وتمحوا أسماء شهدائنا من لوح علم شهادة واستقلال لبنان؟
مَن أنتم - بحقّ الله – لكي تدفعوا الأموال لحشد الحشود وإضاءة الشموع على قبر شهيدٍ واحدٍ وكأن لامثيل له؟
مَن أنتم – بحقّ الله – لكي تتآمروا مع دُول العالم لفبركة من هو القاتل؟
مَن أنتم – بحقّ الله - لكي تقيموا محكمة دُوليّةً فقط لشهيدكم، متناسين شهداء الماضي؟ أليسوا اولئك الاخرون ببشر شهداء مثل شهيدكم؟
مَن أنتم – بحقّ الله – لكي تجعلوا من ذكراه، يوم عطلةٍ وطنيّةٍ، يوم شللٍ في البلد على جميع أصعدته، ...؟
مَن أنتم – بحق الله - ...؟ مَن أنتم – بحق الله - ...؟ مَن أنتم – بحق الله - ...؟
بأيِّ سلطانٍ تفعلون كلُّ هذا؟؟؟
استيقظ أيها اللبنانيّ من غيبوبتك! استيقظ أيها اللبنانيّ لماضيك!
استيقظ يا لبنان وطناً وشعباً ومؤسسات! استيقظ لكي تبقى عارفاً جميل كلّ شهدائك!
استيقظوا يا شباب لبنان لكي تجعلوا من صوتكم صوت كباركم وليس من صوتهم صوتكم.
كفى هُزءاً، كفى مسخرةً، كفى بكاءً على الأطلال !
قُم يا لبنان ويا لبنانيّ واشكر شهداءك جميعاً على كل ما بذلوه وقدّموه من أجل لبنان، ولا تشكر وتحيي ذكرى شهيدٍ واحدٍ ناسياً ومتناسياً شهداء الأمس، شهداء الماضي.
شكراً لكم يا شهداء لبنان، يا شهداء الأمس. واعذروا كلَّ واحدٍ شطبكم من تاريخ الشهادة، من تاريخ لبنان

إلى روح شهيدنا البطل الرئيس ايلي حبيقة


L’Histoire ne peut être écrite que par les grands Hommes personifies par l'heroisme de Mr. Elie HOBEIKA, ceux qui fixent le cap et marchent devant leur peuple en leur indiquant la direction et non ceux qui adaptent leur positions aux conditions du jour et au meilleur offrant....


في مثل هذا اليوم في الذّكرى العاشرة لإستشهاد إيلي حبيقة .... إلى روح شهيدنا البطل الرئيس ايلي حبيقة

- حبيقة حاول وقف الحرب بالحوار لإعادة الإنسان الى التفاهمات
- إغتيال ايلي حبيقة كانت بداية سلسلة التفجيرات في المنطقة
- منسوب الحقد في المنطقة يسجّل اعلى المستويات
- مقتل حبيقة اسلوب غير حضاري وقيم الحق لا تتجزأ
ايلي حبيقة قائدا وسلاحو كان لبنان
كان قائدا بكل معنى الكلمة وسيبقى.... رحمه الله وصبّر اهله
....وحدهم الأبطال يستشهدون بصمت
الوزير الراحل شهيدنا البطل الرئيس ايلي حبيقة صرف عمره على العمل والتعب, اغتيلت حقيقة عشرين عاماً وأكثر، عبثاً تبحث عنها محاكم محلية مقصِّرة أو أخرى دولية مسيَّسة
....خلية امنية لبنانية يتقاطع عملها مع الموساد وسوريا وقرارها اميركياً
للحقيقة الحقيقة هو شهيد لبنان المظبوط
صح ذلك في زمن نضال شهيدنا البطل الرئيس ايلي حبيقة ومن سبقه وواكبه ولحق به على درب الشهادة
في مثل هذا اليوم، علّق شهيدنا البطل الرئيس ايلي حبيقة على أرزة ... في مثل هذا اليوم، كفّن بالأبيض والأحمر والأخضر ... في مثل هذا اليوم، رقد على رجاء قيامة لبنان

شهيدنا البطل الرئيس ايلي حبيقة ، سلام عليك وسلام على روحك وسلام على الأرض التي تحضنك وسلام يوم تبعث لتحلّق بطائر الفينيق في سماء الحرية والشهادة والحقيقة

رحمك الله شهيدنا البطل الرئيس ايلي حبيقة ، الإنسان والأب والقائد، وأعان عائلتك التي وقفت عند حدود الشهادة ...وهذه هي القمة... وفاء لك، سلام وتحية
من حق رفاق الدرب، وهم على وفرة كبيرة مقدارَ ما كان صاحب الذكرى أخّاذاً ومستقطباً وكاريسمياً، ان يعلوا في سنة غيابه العاشرة تحديدا رمزية الذكرى ملتصقة بـ"الربيع العربي"، فهو حين كان لبنان يرزح تحت جاهليته الاهلية في لغة الدمار والدماء وقبع العرب مع العالم متفرجين عليه في السبعينيات والثمانينيات، راح يصدر تلك الاحلام "المجنونة" آنذاك، احلام المواطنة أو العلمانية الحرية والانعتاق
الانعتاق العربي بصورة ملبننة خالصة اسقط عليها خصوصيات بلده وثقافته الموروثة جيلا اثر جيل
مثل هذا المفهوم يساور معظمنا اليوم، فيما الايدي على القلوب لرؤية اخطار هائلة ومحاذير واقعية في زحف بعض الظواهر المتطرفة المحمولة مع الثورات
" شهدنا في السنوات الاخيرة محاولات كثيرة للسي آي إي لحل المشاكل السياسية باستخدام القوة، وحان الوقت لاستخلاص العبر"
اسقاط الطغاة والمستبدين والديكتاتوريين وعدم احلال من يتناسلون انماطهم تحت اي عنوان او ظاهرة او تواطؤ دولي واقليمي وما شابه، حتى لو هلل العالم لتغيير كهذا
واوكد بان الشعلة التي اوقدها الوزير الراحل شهيدنا البطل الرئيس ايلي حبيقة متألقة وخالدة الى الابد، ان شهداءنا قد ضمنوا الثورة بدمائهم وينبغي اليوم العمل في ظل الجهد وبذل الهمة لجعل ثقافة الشهداء تموج في التربية والتعليم
من ثوابت الموت وتوابعه الراسخة، غربان ونعيق. يندهها عزرائيل من آخر الظلمات، فتحضر فوراً. كأنها تحمله بأجنحتها السوداء، كأنها تنهب الروح الصاعدة بصوتها المقلوب شؤماً. هذا في غابات الأرض. أما في أدغال العهر والفجور، فغربان موتنا سياسيون، ونعيقهم تصاريح متلفزة، لا يُفهم منها إلا رائحة الموت ولونه، وشهيتهم لجثاميننا موتى، كأنهم لا يكفيهم نهشنا ونحن أحياء
في الخلاصة إن قيامة لبنان من أوحاله والفخاخ ليعود وطناً للرسالة والقداسة والكرامات يكمن هو في عودة المواطن اللبناني أولاً إلى ينابيع الحرية والإيمان والصدق والحق، والرجوع دون تردد إلى مفاهيم ثقافة احترام الذات والغير وإلى التصرف على أساس أنه مخلوق حر وليس عبداً، وإلا "فالج لا تعالج

الدولة اللبنانية تعاقب الضحايا وتبرّئ القتلة


واللدغ سيتكرر وعلى كل المسيحببن أن يفهموا هذا


و لتبقَ ذكرياتنا صامدة

الشهيد ايلي حبيقة

ايلي حبيقة افتدى لبنان واللبنانيين


آدميون نحن ولنفس الأصل ننتمي فكيف نهنأ بالعيش والغير يألم

*Christ tells us not to fear those who can kill our bodies, but only those who can kill our souls......*

....يتمجد اسم الله في قديسيه لا تخافوا انا غلبت العالم



يا قديسة رفقا بطلب منك تمنحي لبنان السلام وتمنحي شعبه حب العيش المشترك وتمنحي السياسيين القائمين على الشأن العام القدرة على أن يتعاطوا ذلك بكل شفافية وخوف ألله - آمين

ايلي حبيقة افتدى لبنان واللبنانيين

إن الإنسان المؤمن بربه وبكتبه المقدسة وبتعاليمه وبموت وقيامة السيد المسيح لا يموت، بل يرقد على رجاء القيامة بانتظار يوم الحساب الأخير، والرب الذي وهب الإنسان نعمة الحياة هو وحده يقرر متى يستردها وليس أي مخلوق أخر.

اليوم ونحن نصلي في الذكرى التاسعة لروح الشهيد النائب والوزير الراحل ايلي حبيقة نردد بايمان وخشوع ووقار ما قاله النبي أيوب رغم كل المصائب التي حلت عليه فيما كان الشيطان يحاول جاهداً إيقاعه في التجربة دون أن يتمكن من أن يحقق هدفه اللعين هذا كون إيمان أيوب بربه كان قوياً وراسخاً: "عرياناً خرجت من بطن أمي، وعرياناً أعود إلى هناك، الرب أعطى والرب أخذ تبارك اسم الرب". (ايوب01/21).

يقول السيد المسيح: "أَنَا هُوَ الْقِيَامَةُ وَالْحَيَاةُ. مَنْ آمَنَ بِي، وَإِنْ مَاتَ فَسَيَحْيَا" (يوحنا 25/11). إن تعلقنا بلبناننا الحبيب حتى الشهادة يعزينا ويقوي إيماننا ويرسخ الرجاء في نفوسنا ويساعدنا على تقبل غياب الشهداء الأبرار برضوخ كامل لمشيئة أبينا السماوي فهم لا يموتون بل يبقون أحياء في وجداننا وضمائرنا وقلوبنا وعقولنا وفي كل عمل نقوم به يهدف لخدمة ومساعدة الآخرين الذين هم بحاجة إلينا.

يقول الشاعر: "ما استحق أن يعيش، من عاش لنفسه فقط". لذلك فالشخص المؤمن يجد لذته في أن يحيا لأجل غيره، عملاًً بقول الرب، "تحب قريبك كنفسك" (متى39/22). ولهذا يحب كل الناس من أعماق قلبه وتكون محبته للآخرين محبة عملية حسبما قال الرسول يوحنا: "يا أبنائي، لا تكن محبتنا بالكلام أو باللسان بل بالعمل والحق". (1يو18:3).

هذه المحبة العظيمة، والله هو محبة، تتميز بالعطاء والبذل والتفاني سواء من الناحية الجسدية، أو الناحية الروحية. لذلك فإن الشخص المؤمن والمعطاء والصادق هو بطبيعته إنسان نقي وتقي وشفاف وصادق ومحب يخاف الله الذي خلقه على صورته ومثاله.

هذا الإنسان يجهد بفرح كبير ليكون خادماً يخدم غيره في كل المجالات، لا لأنه مطالب بهذا، وإنما لأن الخدمة جزء من طبيعته ونفسيته وثقافته، ومكون أساسي من مكونات كيانه الإيماني. في خدمة الآخرين يشعر بالحب ويتغذى روحياً من تقديم الخدمات أكثر مما يغذي غيره بها. وإذا كانت الخدمة هي من عمل الملائكة (عبرانيين14:1)، فكم بالأولى البشر. وقد أعطانا السيد المسيح المثال الأبلغ في هذا الشأن إذ قال: "ومن أراد أن يكون الأول فيكم، فليكن لكم عبدا، وهكذا ابن الإنسان جاء لا ليخدمه الناس، بل ليخدمهم ويفدي بحياته كثيراً منهم". (متى 20/27 و28)

جاء في إنجيل القديس يوحنا (15/13): "ما من حب أعظم من هذا: أن يضحي الإنسان بنفسه في سبيل أحبائه". وقال الشهيد النائب والوزير الراحل ايلي حبيقة: "إن الوطن الذي لا يفتديه شبابه بأرواحهم لا يستمر ويزول. إن خدمة الآخرين وبذل الذات من أجلهم هي أعمال مقدسة والمسيح الإله قبل الصلب والعذاب والإهانات وقدم نفسه على الصليب فداء للإنسان ليعتقه من نير وعبودية الخطيئة ويحرره.

إن الشهيد لا يطلب شيئاً لنفسه من مقتنيات هذه الدنيا الفانية، وإنما يسعي لنيل بركات الله ليستحق بجدارة أفعاله وإيمانه العودة إلى منزل أبيه السماوي، والمسيح قال لنا: "ماذا ينفع الإنسان لو ربح العالم كله وخسر نفسه". (متى 16/26).

الشهيد هو قربان طاهر يقدم نفسه طواعية على مذبح الله بمحبة واندفاع وفرح من أجل أحبائه تماماً كما هو حال كل شهيد من شهداء لبنان الأبرار. عرفاناً بجميلهم نقول أنه وبفضل استشهادهم بقينا، وسوف نبقى بإذن الله طالما بقي الشباب اللبناني مؤمنا بلبنان وبرسالته وعلى استعداد تام ودائم للشهادة.

الشهيد النائب والوزير الراحل ايلي حبيقة لم يمت لأنه باق في كل جهد وعمل يقوم بهما أي لبناني من أجل الحفاظ على سيادة واستقلال وحرية وطنه الحبيب، ولصون كرامة وعزة اللبنانيين، كما أن عائلة حبيقة هي نبع معطاء لا ينضب في دفق الإيمان والوطنية والشهادة للحق والشهداء من أجل لبنان الرسالة والقداسة والقديسين.

نصلي من أجل أن يسكن الله روح الشهيد النائب والوزير الراحل ايلي حبيقة فسيح جناته إلى جوار البررة والقديسين وأن يلهم عائلته ومحبيه الصبر والسلوان



"Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then...."

Entre la peste et le choléra… 10 siècles encore pourront passer mais ce petit monde la, restera toujours bloqué au passage de la Sinaï et le "Covenant"....de 5000 ans avant notre ère....



I have always been opposed to systems of “objective” analysis of real world problems in the analysis of human affairs. I have opposed them whether in intelligence or in academia. The great difficulty with objective systems is that they inevitably build models for whatever they are studying. Such models require that a problem be “factored” for the elements of the study. This creates artificialities since human affairs concern humans and humans are more complex than any model can be made unless the subject studied is extremely narrow. Any widening of the subject beyond something like a market place mechanism is likely to lead to false results through an inability to reflect actual human thought.....

- I view all of human experience as a continuum extending through time, developing, expanding and reflecting an accumulation of learning and development by human groups in a variety of paths, some of which share characteristics and many of which do not. This is basically a river of moving data that is growing and changing as it flows. We live in a small segment of that river’s current but the course of the river upstream has made our piece of the river what it is and the river flowing through and past us creates a future that is shaped by the stream as it flows forward in time. This does not mean that what has been will necessarily be, but it does mean that the elements of the past will be present in any future. It means that something truly new in human affairs is a rarity. We often think things are new but usually that is because we do not know enough about the past. I watch continuously for what have recently been called “black swans.”

- I have spent my life accumulating knowledge in a wide variety of fields. I have a good memory. My mind is like a filing cabinet with most of the files available for inspection. Anomalous phenomena stand out against the picture formed by the stream of history in much the same way that a moving object stands out against a static or constant background. I often see them clearly.

Israel? I don’t think God is a real estate agent and I don’t think the Israeli claim to a divine right to Palestine is anything more than the kind of myth making that Elie Kedourie discussed in his book on nationalism....[ http://books.google.com/books/about/Nationalism.html?id=SynCxUveSEIC ] As I said before, among my many complaints about Israel are that they manipulate out political process to their advantage and to American/European/Western.... disadvantage and they use their access to a 5th column among their citizens to do it daily..... The other thing I don’t like about this relationship to Israel is their commanding the most infamous White House Murder INC, in the Levant since January 24th 2002, and the cowardly assassination of Mr. Elie HOBEIKA and his party of three wonderful young men accompanying him on his last journey...., that's WHY I don't like Israel, don't think the Jews were 'entitled' to a country the world imposed on the natives of Palestine.... Don't like professional victims, whiners, bullies, liars, parasites, hypocrites or thieves. Don't like supremacist attitudes, religious mambo-jumbo, "chosenness",self serving myths and historical revisionist....

Don't like agents of influence, fifth columns in my government or country. Don't like propagandist, censors,wimps who shoot women and children, assassinate innocent people at will like Mr. Elie HOBEIKA, and outstanding and unique Leader, human being, a father , a husband , a hugely popular politician, a most courageous man, together in tandem with the Odious White House Murder INC,...wars and greed mongers or political corrupters.....

Can't think of single damn thing I like about that midget Nazi outpost of so called Jewish self determination we have sunk 1.6 trillion dollars and the US reputation into....

Feed them to the Turks, I am sick of them and of that very one sided relationship ..... The "Western Zioconned alliance" with Israel has never been profitable on a net basis and it still is not.....except that it is a "Covert Intelligence" Cover for Western despicable Shenanigans since the 1850s....in the Levant and MENA....

* Christ tells us not to fear those who can kill our bodies, but only those who can kill our souls. .....

http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/messages/peace/documents/hf_ben-xvi_mes_20111208_xlv-world-day-peace_en.html


What the "Church Fathers" have rejected as heresy you shall now accept as Orthodox". Nor has the Papacy ever denounced the primacy of the Pope who, from a Patristic point of view, is claiming attributes which solely belong the Universal Church....

Christ tells us not to fear those who can kill our bodies, but only those who can kill our souls. So now instead of killing Orthodox Christians (as in the past), the Papacy is telling us that it and the Church are two lungs of one Body, even though Saint Athanasius clearly taught us that true Christianity is the faith "which the Lord gave, was preached by the Apostles, and was preserved by the Fathers. On this was the Church founded; and if anyone departs from this, he neither is nor any longer ought to be called a Christian".

So , which is the bigger threat to the Orthodox Christian, the Jesuit who wants to kill him at majorem Dei gloriam, or the smiling modern Jesuit who tells him that they are now both brothers in Christ as long as the Primacy of the Pope is accepted and that nothing else really matters?

The famous dialog "The Great Inquisitor" in Dostoevsky's "Karamazov Brothers". Remember what the Inquisitor tells Christ? "You have done your part, now leave us alone, we are now in charge". That has ALWAYS been the message of the Papacy, from the Frankish invasion of Byzantium to today's "ecumenical dialog of love" between the Pope and the thug and Mafia-boss Kirill Gundaev who fancies himself Patriarch of Russia....

The Papacy will always welcome the (ex-)Orthodox with open arms, as long as they, in turn, forget about the Truth which the Lord gave, was preached by the Apostles, and was preserved by the Fathers and upon which the Church was founded.... That is exactly the option given to Christ by Satan when he was tempted in the desert...

That is the option which we, Orthodox Christians, shall never, ever accept.....


Revolutionary change is, I believe, in itself neutral or, rather, non-defined as such....

When revolutionary process is the result of a belief in the power of Man to make the world a just place, when it offers a hope for a paradise on Earth, an "achievable utopia". then it is an 'opium of the people' way more toxic than what any religion has ever offered. From the Tower of Babel, to the WTC buildings, from secularists of the so-called "Enlightenment" to Marx, Hitler or Fukuyama, there has always been a type of man who wanted to "reach the heavens" and to declare to mankind that ye shall be as gods if you are without God. This type of revolution always begins with promises of paradise and ends in a hellish bloodbath....

But revolutionary change can also be a process which begins with the paradoxical realization that man can only free himself by submitting to God. This is the basic truth with most, if not all, religions share. This is what Christ meant when he said without me ye can do nothing. This is what Hassan Nasrallah refers to when he begins his speech with the words I take refuge in Allah from the stoned Satan or what Ahmadinejad referred to in his 2008 speech at the UN when he said God Almighty has tied their perfection and true freedom of humans to their devotion and obedience to Himself. True freedom and obedience to God are in balance and in fact are two sides of the same coin (...) Humans need to know God in order to realize a prosperous society in this world as well as to strive for a beautiful eternal life. This is what the Hindu tradition calls the doctrine of Prapatti (which Swami Siwananda defined as 1. the acquisition of virtues which would make one a fit offering to God; 2. avoidance of conduct not acceptable to God; 3. faith that the Lord will always protect him; 4. appeal to the Lord for protection and mercy; 5. a feeling of one’s own littleness; and 6. total surrender. The first five are the means to the attainment of absolute self-surrender.

In this latter case, the revolutionary process becomes filled with an internal dimension which can make the world better, even if only on the margins, and only for a while....


There is only ONE *real* liberation, the one which Christ refers to when He says If ye continue in My word, then are ye My disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free and that is the re-union with the Theandric Body of Christ - His Church - followed by theosis, what the Church hymns often call the "co-resurrection with Christ". However, the process of standing up against evil, of deliberately submitting one's will to God, can take many forms and, I believe, that it can also have the visible manifestation of a stance against oppression in a political process...

When you try to push history forward too quickly, sometimes it bites you back....Will Obama Pull a Johnson for Hillary to enter the fray in 2012...


When you try to push history forward too quickly, sometimes it bites you back....Will Obama Pull a Johnson for Hillary to enter the fray in 2012...?


السياسة مكيافيلية صرف تقوم على "الغاية تبرر الوسيلة، ويُحكم على الوسيلة المستخدمة بنتائجها السياسية وليس على أخلاقيتها أو عدمها


A trader's Take on the 2012 Presidential Election. As I write this, I am sitting at the San Francisco consulate of the People’s Republic of China, awaiting the issuance of my business visa. Since I will soon be in the neighborhood, I plan to interview some companies that I want to buy on the next upswing in the global financial markets. The Defense Department has asked me to call on my senior contacts in the People’s Liberation Army to try and get a read on the Middle Kingdom’s next likely president, Xi Jinping. Also, it has been ages since I had a decent Peking Duck.

It seems that whenever you do anything with China, there are always scads of people around. I had to wait in line on cold and foggy Geary Street an hour just to get into the building, pestered by assorted anti-government demonstrators....

Therefore, I am going to take advantage of the very rare luxury of some extra free time and speculate at length on the prospects of another president, that of Barrack Hussein CIA Obama.... Having spent time in the White House Press Corp under Carter and Reagan, I have some inside knowledge about how whole the utterly corrupt election process works in the ZIOCONNED USA....

The most important factor to affect global financial markets next year and years beyond will be the outcome of the 2012 presidential election. As card carrying paid up members of the Mad Hedge Fund Trader network, I therefore have not only the responsibility, but the obligation to give you my forecast about how this is going to play out.

To believe that President Obama is anti-business and bad for the economy is lunacy of the highest order. Barack knows more American history than either you or I will ever forget. He is well aware that a poor economic performance has been the primary creator of one term presidents since WWII.

Kennedy was assassinated, Johnson retired early, Carter was demolished by the stagflation caused by the Iranian revolution and the second oil shock, and George H.W. Bush was turfed out by a minor recession, despite winning the first Gulf War. Therefore, the economy had to be Obama’s top priority from the first day in office. To do otherwise was for Obama to risk becoming one of the countless jobless himself.

I believe that the economy that Obama inherited was so broken that it will take decades to fix, if ever. It is easy to forget that virtually the entire financial system was bankrupt, the credit markets had seized up, and the ATM’s were two weeks away from failing to dispense cash. The government newly found itself a major investor in the country’s 20 largest banks, General Motors, and AIG.

But the reflationary measures he was able to get through a reluctant congress were too small to engineer the recovery he needed. The boldness of the moves seen during the Great Depression was sadly absent. Remember, Franklin Roosevelt directly hired 3 million men during his first two years through the Civilian Conservation Corps, immediately preventing 5 million from immediate starvation. This was when the population was less than half of what it is today.

To a large extent, Obama has become the fall guy for the excesses of earlier administrations. The big problems facing the country are long term and structural. The $15 trillion national debt is the product of 30 years of tax cuts and spending increases, primarily for defense.

Our runaway health care costs can be traced by our failure to nationalize health care when the rest of the developed did so in the late 1940’s, enabling them to keep their medical expenses to two thirds of ours, with better results. Social security and Medicare were financially flawed from the day they were launched, and modern day politicians were loath to touch them once they became sacred cows. None of these intractable problems are amenable to a quick fix.

All of this leaves Obama’s popularity in the polls falling, going into one of the most acrimonious and hard fought elections in American history. Obama has become the Jackie Robinson of American politics, the first African-American to play in major league baseball. The better the job he does, the more people hate him. Robinson died at 53, largely due to stress.

Is Obama the Jackie Robinson of American politics?

-

If he can’t pull out of his tailspin, I believe the president will withdraw his candidacy, and throw it open to other contenders. That is what Lyndon Johnson did in 1968 due to declining health and an unpopular war. When you try to push history forward too quickly, sometimes it bites you back. The election of Obama was such a generational leap in so many ways that some retracement was inevitable. Blame it all on the excesses of the previous administration, which were many. After all, the Democrats don’t want to commit suicide.

There are two potential candidates. I believe that Hillary Clinton was given the safe position as Secretary of State precisely to hold her in reserve as a backup candidate in 2012 in case something happened to Obama. People of both political parties agree that she has done a spectacular job managing America’s role in the Arab spring, providing military support to drive Khadafy out of power, and keeping the Chinese buying out gargantuan debt issues. But as a presidential candidate, she is not without baggage.

Who wins This Contest?

-

The dark horse in the race is Michael Bloomberg, the highly popular mayor of New York. If there was ever a politician who can change his spots, it is Michael. A lifetime Democrat, he switched parties to win as a Republican in a Democratic town. He could flip flop again, or bolt to form a third party. I have known Michael since he went door to door on Wall Street seeking funding to start his data business to replace the aging Quotrons. A more quixotic mission there never was.

Yet he succeeded wildly, making himself a billionaire many times over, proving his credentials as an entrepreneur and a businessman, and creating an urban legend. An early adopter, I have personally paid him over $1 million in fees for the past 20 years for his versatile machine, as have most other hedge fund managers.

Where do the Republicans stand in all of this? They have to spend a year appealing to the conservative base, attempting to outmaneuver each other in a marathon to the right. Then they only have two months to swerve back to the middle to win the election. They have a somewhat hopeless task, and is why we have so many two term presidents.

What Rick Perry harangues about is popular in libertarian, oil based Texas, but will they wear it in Ohio, Washington, or Florida? I think not. Mitt Romney’s Mormon origins leave his party’s Christian base cold, and he is unelectable without them. Both these men are presenting themselves as modern day incarnations of Ronald Reagan. But I knew Ronnie for decades, first as an aspiring governor of California, and a Reagan they are not. I can’t imagine Perry telling me an off color joke.

The rest of the field are just “also rans”. On top of this, the power of the presidency as a campaign tool is not to be underestimated. Air Force One versus a chartered bus? Give me a break.

Or This One?

-

There are a few imponderables to consider in 2012. Some 4 million immigrants became naturalized US citizens in four years, who have a very high turnout ratio. Given anti-immigrant rants in states like Arizona and Alabama, you can count on almost all of these going Democratic. Another 4 million millennials will have reached voting age. Obama managed to get this group to turn out in unprecedented numbers in 2008. He didn’t run in 2010, and they failed to show. Will they return in 2012? Another demographic trend that has been ongoing for 50 years is the migration to the sunbelt, which favors the Republicans. I don’t know how all of this nets out, but I bet Carl Rove does. Ask him.

Or This One?

-

In the end it will come down to Ohio and Florida again, as it has in the last three elections. Few remember that Obama won by a landslide in 2008, taking some 365 electoral votes compared to the 270 needed to win. The Democrats could lose a staggering 94 votes and still take the presidency.

That means losing the entire Midwest and some of the East, including North Carolina (15), Virginia (13), Indiana (11), Missouri (11), Maryland (10), Colorado (9), Iowa (7), Connecticut (7), West Virginia (5), and New Mexico (5), and still seeing blue ties (or pant suits) in the White House. In the end it will come down to Ohio and Florida again, as it has in the last three elections.

This is a race that is wide open and could go in any direction. That is why you are seeing such a plethora of Republican candidates. In politics, 14 months is 14 centuries, and anything could happen by November 6, 2012. New candidates will enter the fray, while old ones fade away. Rick Perry may have already peaked. The economy might even recover, or at least fail to melt down. After all, who heard of Barrack Hussein Obama 14 months before the last election? For those of us who trade for a living, this will be one giant unknown to pile on top of all the others, right up to election day.

Or Will Obama Pull a Johnson?

CNN debate format not much different than the Jerry Springer Show but with more dire possible consequences....
CNN: The Cable Neo-Nazi Network.....

CNN, which is competing with Fox News for the title of network for the political descendants of the Ku Klux Klan, Know Nothing Party, and John Birch Society, decided to co-host the last Republican presidential debate with the Tea Party, a Republican contrivance set up by the likes of former House GOP Majority leader Dick Armey and former George H W Bush counsel C. Boyden Gray. However, the Tea Party, unlike other Republican groups, has attracted a number of out-and-out neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klansmen, Jewish Defense League, neo-Confederates, and other gun-toting racist types who are happy to finally find a home where they can vent their hatred on CNN and Fox.

Such was the case in the last debate when GOP libertarian candidate Ron Paul was posed a question by CNN's Wolf Blitzer on who should pay for an uninsured comatose patient who needed six months in intensive care and whether he should be allowed to die. While Paul struggled to come up with an answer, itself an outrage considering he is a medical doctor who has sworn to uphold the Hippocratic oath and who believes that life exists the minute the sperm penetrates the egg, Tea Party members in the crowd yelled, "yeah! Let him die!"

CNN, with its neo-Nazi and Klan partners in the Tea Party, has allowed the presidential debates to descend into a format that mixes the "Jerry Springer Show" with "American Idol." We have come a long way since it was the non-partisan League of Women Voters that laid the groundwork for the famous Kennedy-Nixon debates of 1960. The League also sponsored the general election 1976 Ford-Carter, 1980 Carter-Reagan, and 1984 Reagan-Mondale debates. In 1968 and 1972, intra-Democratic party debates were sponsored by the Democrats between Eugene McCarthy and Robert Kennedy and George McGovern and Hubert Humphrey, respectively. Imagine the horror and disgust had any of those primary debates been sponsored or co-sponsored by the Ku Klux Klan or American Nazi Party. By inviting the Tea Party to the debate format as a co-equal, CNN has further widened the political cracks that are bringing down the United States electoral system faster than the next earthquake will surely topple the Washington Monument obelisk.

One question that should be asked: Did any money exchange hands between CNN and the Tea Party to carry the debate? For example, was there a financial deal between CNN and the Tea Party similar to those where networks pay the National Football League or Major League Baseball for broadcasting rights?



One thing we have learned from Anders Behring Breivik's far-right, pro-Zionist and neo-Nazi network in Europe is that there has been a heavy liaison between British, Scandinavian, and Dutch neo-Nazis and leaders and members of the Tea Party in the United States. By establishing a professional relationship with the Tea Party, CNN has abrogated its right to provide independent news reporting on the activities of right-wing terrorists, since it has placed itself within their outer chain-of-command -- the propaganda wing reminiscent of Joseph Goebbels's Ministry of Propaganda and its twice daily Tagesparole, which dictated what news was to be reported and how it was to be reported. Today, Goebbels's catch phrases of "Red agents," "Jewish Communists," and "the madmen Churchill and Roosevelt" have been replaced by the corporate media with the terms "Jihadists," "Islamo-fascists," and "tree-hugging liberals."

The people who run CNN are no different than the tycoon publisher William Randolph Hearst, whose publications praised Adolf Hitler and his Nazis. From the September 1933 edition of The Reader's Digest, a chronic re-publisher of Hearst articles: "That Hitler's conquest of the hearts and minds of all classes of Germans is now so complete that even if all his Brown Shirts and Steel Helmets were to be disbanded, tomorrow he would still be easily the strongest man in Germany, and on any appeal to the electorate would be confirmed in power by a quite overwhelming majority of votes . . . Hitler has passed from the stage of party leader to being the national prophet of an exceedingly serious people, and it would need another prophet to replace him." And from another Hearst publication, Better Homes and Garden, in 1938, there is this heart-warming description of Hitler's mountain home: "There is nothing pretentious about the Fuhrer's little estate. It is one that any merchant of Munich or Nuremburg might possess in these lovely hills . . . Herr Hitler's study is fitted as a modern office, and leading out of this is a telephone exchange. From here it is possible for the Fuhrer to invite his friends or Ministers to fly over to Berchtesgaden, landing on his own aerodrome just below the chalet lawn."

Far-right Tea Party candidates like Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, and others are now not only recognized but praised as legitimate potential fuhrers of the United States by CNN, Fox, and MS-NBC. These corporate info-tainment networks should be run out of coverage of national politics on a rail and with their hats in their hands. And how is it fair for CNN to strike a deal with an extremist Republican faction that has been eschewed by invited debate candidates like former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman and non-invited candidates like former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson?

Today, the enablers for Hitler's prodigal sons and daughters in the Tea Party are the likes of Wolf Blitzer and John King, the media heirs of Goebbels and Hearst, who act as political lion tamers and provocateurs at the same time for the angry right-wing crowds gathered at the GOP debates. Blitzer has a number of years of experience pushing propaganda, both as a public relations official for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, where he defended jailed Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, and a correspondent for The Jerusalem Post.

It is past time for the Fox, CNN, and MS-NBC debate formats for the right-wing zombie crowds to come to a close. These hate-fest debates do not serve the public interest and they should be stricken from the agenda before some crazed admirer of Breivik decides that his or her xenophobic and racist rantings are somehow "mainstream" and worthy of a major news "event."
