ALWAYS BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT AND THE MEDIA
Jew Persecution Over Says Envoy
Washington, March 27, 1933 (INS)
Secretary of State Hull today was “greatly relieved” at the official report from the American embassy in Berlin that mistreatment of Jews in Germany had abated and the Hitler regime was doing its best to curb further persecution.
The report: received at the state department over the week-end said physical mistreatment of Jews “may be considered virtually terminated.”
Secretary Hull immediately sent this reassuring information to leading American Jews and Jewish organizations who had complained of the alleged persecution of their religious brethren under Hitlerism.
In his telegraph the secretary said the “feeling had been widespread in Germany that following a political readjustment as has recently taken place some time must elapse before a state of equilibrium could be re-established.
“In the opinion of the embassy,” he added, “such a stabilization appears to have been reached in the field of personal mistreatment and there are indications that in other phases the situation is improving.”
Nazi Drive on Jews Under Control Now: US Investigation Shows No Cause for Protest (AP)
March 26, 1933
“A reply has now been received indicating that whereas there was for a short time considerable physical mistreatment of Jews, this phase may be considered virtually terminated. There was also some picketing of Jewish merchandising stores and instances of professional discrimination.
“These manifestations were viewed with serious concern by the German government. Hitler in his capacity as leader of the Nazi party issued an order calling upon his followers to maintain law and order, to avoid molesting foreigners, disrupting trade and to avoid the creation of potentially embarrassing international incidents.”
(from the Hull telegram)
Sec. Hull Again Apologizes to Germany for “Insults”
Washington March 17, 1937 (AP)
A second protest by the German government against anti-Hitler remarks by Mayor LaGuardia of New York drew a fresh apology today from Secretary Hull.
The German ambassador, Hans Luther, delivered the protest in a 55 minute conversation with the secretary of state. He complained that LaGuardia insulted Hitler by declaring at an anti-Nazi rally in New York that Hitler was a “man without honor”.
Exodus of German Jews can’t begin before 1939: Estimate 5 to 10 Years before Problem can be Liquidated
July 24, 1938 (AP) – Washington. The flow of refugees which President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull are trying to set in motion from Germany cannot begin before the end of the year. A vast amount of preparation, political and financial, must be completed before German Jews can begin their exodus to the United States and other countries which have voiced their willingness to receive them. Officials say five to ten years will pass before the problem can be liquidated.
OUT OF LINE
In one of the odder election events so far, a Republican candidate who for all his flaws did have a track record of implementing a conservative program was demonized as a Communist on behalf of a man who had nothing resembling that track record, in defense of a company which benefited from tariffs and a pension bailout.
But the word has come down the wire. If you hate Mitt Romney then you’re a Communist. Like those well known members of Occupy Wall Street, Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich. So Gingrich came down to conservative talk radio, portions of which are heavily syndicated by a company owned by Bain Capital to make his apologies. Not that it will stop the establishment from baying for his blood a second time around.
Gingrich was obviously out of line here. The last thing we want is a candidate who takes the fight aggressively to his opponent. What we want is a candidate who smiles a lot at the camera and waits for the media to do his work for him. But that won’t work so well for Romney in the actual election where Obama has the national media sewn up. Sneering pieces in the National Review are not going to win the general election. Neither will declaring Bain Capital off limits. That might work on Bain Capital radio, it won’t work at all in the media.
Romney has the Republican establishment on his side in the primaries, but in a national election the establishment he faces is liberal. Which is why liberal Republicans can sweep through primaries but have a much tougher time in national elections. Standing for nothing is a good way to win party support, but a bad way to win national support.
In an Olympics worthy display of acrobatic prowess, no lesser conservative stalwart than John McCain declared that attacks on Bain Capital were right up there with Communism. “These attacks on, quote, Bain Capital is really kind of anathema to everything that we believe in. We believe in job creation, and the record of Bain Captial is to take companies that would otherwise fail and restore them to some kind of viability, and sometimes that doesn’t work, but, you know, when it always works is a thing called communism, where you keep everybody in business.”
Which just goes to show you that McCain is a Communist because back in 2008 he was leveling withering attacks against Romney’s Bain tenure. But the authentic conservatives like Romney and McCain have spoken. We will speak of Bain Capital no more, until we’re all defending Romney on it in a few months.
HEZBOLLAH NOW OPERATING IN THAILAND
Thai police were on Friday questioning a Lebanese man with alleged links to Hezbollah militants as the U.S. Embassy warned of a “real and credible” threat of a terrorist attack against American citizens in Bangkok.
FINDING MODERATE MUSLIMS
What were viewers willing to endure rather than experience the Shiite version of the Jersey Shore? They tuned in to National Geographic’s “Alaska State Troopers,” Tru TV’s “Lizard Lick Towing” and Animal Planet’s “Finding Bigfoot,” but you couldn’t get them to watch “All-American Muslim.” Which just goes to show that we’re a nation of Islamophobes. Or that even people with bad taste in television have standards.
The dirty little liberal secret is that progressives don’t watch “All-American Muslim” either. The show only exists as an Islamophobia talking point. Every time an advertiser drops it in favor of “Finding Bigfoot,” the progressives crow that once again they have proven that we are a nation that hates Muslims and loves Bigfoot.
All-American Muslim’s hopeless ratings suggest that Americans are more confident of finding Bigfoot than of finding those even more imaginary creatures: moderate Muslims who reject terrorism of all kinds. They certainly aren’t to be found on “All-American Muslim” where the guest Imams have been far less peaceful than Bigfoot who in all his decades of appearing in grainy videos has not been known to curse infidels or support terrorist groups.

ARMS RACE BETWEEN EGYPTIAN ISLAMISTS AND BEAUTY SALONS CONTINUES
Story 1: Self-proclaimed “morality police” in Egypt found themselves on the receiving end of a beating themselves when they threatened women at a beauty salon.
Witnesses said the ultra-conservative vigilante gang, members of the strict Salafi sect who consider themselves “morality police” inspired by Saudi Arabia’s “Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice,” entered the beauty salon in Benha recently and ordered the women to cease their beauty treatments or face punishment, bikyamasr.com reported Monday.
However, the men, who claimed they were enforcing Islamic law, were shocked when the women attacked them with their own canes and shoved them out onto the street,
Story 2: The self-proclaimed Islamist “Morality Police” announced on its new official Facebook page that it has acquired 1,000 tazers to be distributed to volunteers who will promote “virtue” and combat “vice” in the Egyptian street.
So after being beaten up by women in an Egyptian beauty salon, the courageous Salafist lions of Cairo are smuggling in tasers.
FREE TRADE FOR COMMUNISM
The only thing more striking than the $32,000 diamond-encrusted eyeglasses on display at the Baodao Optical department store here is the bronze statue of Chairman Mao that greets shoppers entering what is billed as the world’s largest eyeglass emporium.
A bronze statue of Chairman Mao greets shoppers at a Baodao Optical store in Beijing. The store’s owners are from Taiwan.
That is because Baodao Optical’s owners are from Taiwan, the island whose governing party, the Kuomintang, fought a fierce — and losing — civil war against Mao’s Communist forces before fleeing the mainland in 1949 with more than a million refugees. The rival governments have yet to sign a peace accord.
But by choosing to display Mao’s likeness and his famous credo “Serve the People” so prominently, Baodao Optical reveals how far some Taiwanese businesses will go to romance a Chinese market
First free trade helped convince the United States and the rest of the world to sell out Taiwan and back China. Now hundreds of thousands of Taiwanese with financial interests in China will help swing the vote over to the pro-China candidate moving along the inevitable process of China swallowing Taiwan.
The Obama Administration is naturally against Tsai Ing-wen, the independence candidate.
The Obama administration has warned that a victory by Tsai Ing-wen, the Taiwanese opposition leader, in the island’s January presidential election could raise tensions with China.
“She left us with distinct doubts about whether she is both willing and able to continue the stability in cross-Strait relations the region has enjoyed in recent years,” the official told the Financial Times after Ms Tsai met with administration officials.
Which is a euphemism for the slow surrender of Taiwanese sovereignty. Much like the Israeli peace process is a euphemism for dismantling the country and turning it over to Muslim terrorists.
But the Foxconn Apple suicide factory will be shipping workers back to cast their votes “the right way”. Which is about right for an election that hinges on free trade, or rather the version that allows China’s combination of crony capitalism and slave labor to outcompete the rest of the world, including the United States and Taiwan.
Lenin’s famous line about the capitalists selling us the rope with which we will hang them shows he was a piker. Saudi Arabia, Russia and China are the ones selling us the rope with which we hang ourselves.

No really, the Islamists are really jumping the gun. Sharia hasn’t actually become law in the UK yet.
ROMNEY’S CONSERVATIVE CREDENTIALS BURNISHED BY RELIABLE SOURCES
“Former Obama Official Defends Bain, WaPo Debunks Propaganda Film” TownHall.com
DOUBLE STANDARDS
“You know how to make the Jew jealous? Have some money, honey.”
“There was one producer, I won’t say (who), but she is the personification of what people think about when they think negatively about Jews,”
Guess which comment came from a minister, guess which one came from an indie favorite star. And guess which one touched off a backlash and which one led to yawns.
WHAT DOES IT LIMIT AGAIN?
Obama to ask for 1.2 trillion increase in debt limit.
EXTREMISM IS THE NEW MODERATION
80 percent of Palestinian Arabs support Hamas
OBAMA IS ALL ABOUT THE TROOPS
“Look, I was excited to meet him. I wanted to like him. Let’s just say the scales fell from my
eyes after I did. These are people over here who’ve been fighting the war, or working every day for the war effort, and he didn’t want to take _________ pictures with them?”
DEMOCRACY WINS IN EGYPT
The Muslim Brotherhood will control close to half the seats in the first Egyptian parliament. The more hardline Nour Party, which advocates the strict application of Islamic law, has emerged with 113 seats, or 23 percent, putting Islamists of different stripes in control of more than two thirds of the chamber, according to the figures.
