JAN MEL POLLER: INCOME INEQUALITY AND REALITY

NO URL

The last American government push was “The Affordable Health Care Act”, previously known as “Obamacare”. We know how well that is working out.

Now they are diverting our attention to “Income Inequality” because that is supposed to be a very bad thing; it is unfair, it is un-American. Equality means absolutely equal. Period. It does not mean less inequality. However, this smacks of George Orwell’s “Animal Farm”: “All the animals are equal but some are more equal than others”.

If we are to have income equality, then a homeless person and Tiger Woods have to make absolutely the same amount of money. Either everyone makes nothing or everyone makes $74 million a year. If everyone makes $74 million a year, then $74 million is effectively nothing. We can take the pre-Nazi Weimar Republic as an example but Zimbabwe makes an even better example. $1 Zimbabwe dollar became $1 Trillion Zimbabwe dollars and a loaf of bread cost $1 trillion Zimbabwe dollars.

There would be an advantage if this happened in the United States: we could pay off the National Debt with 18 loaves of bread.

MELANIE PHILLIPS: LIES, BIGOTRY AND SILENCE- BRITAIN’S PERMANENT STAIN

https://www.embooks.com/blog/single/lies-bigotry-and-silence-britains-permanent-stain British Jews who care about this sort of thing have had the disturbing experience of observing not one but three examples of public, home-grown anti-Jewish bigotry over the past few days. First off the block was the former labour Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, who in an article in the Independent repeated not only his […]

CHLOE VALDARY: THE SOLDIER AND THE REFUSENIK- A CASE STUDY IN PSYCOPATHIC SELF-ABHORRENCE ****

http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-soldier-and-the-refusenik-a-case-study-in-psychopathic-self-abhorrence/#ixzz2qwr3ElfH

Maya Wind and Eran Efrati are alleged peace activists who are touring the country and warning university students about the sins of the Jewish people. They call themselves “The Soldier and the Refusenik; and my friends and I had the unfortunate opportunity of seeing them lecture at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Efrati, a former IDF soldier who now hates both the IDF and his own country, talks a good game. He begins his introduction to the students with a well rehearsed sentimental story of how he was a sweet naive soldier who, in a desire to see love and peace between Arabs and Jews develop, offered candy to a young Arab child, in Hebron. Later, allegedly, in a random house drawing exhibition on the part of the IDF, Efrati finds himself in that same boy’s house. After making the mistake of pointing a gun at the child and, due to his own negligence, getting the boy’s father arrested, Efrati apparently then sees the proverbial light, and decides to fight against Israel, Zionism, and the self-determination of his own people. All because of his own stupidity which he of course blames on the very existence of the Jewish state. So, like most psychopaths, he blames his own pathologies on a completely unrelated entity, namely Israel, and to justify this action, makes up stories about the Zionist state. For example, He laments the checkpoints, which keep Israelis, both Jews and Arabs, safe from terror attacks. He says checkpoints are axiomatic proof of “apartheid,” (which by this standard means that the JFK airport is proof of American “apartheid” as well).

TABITHA KOROL: WOOING WYOMING

  http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/korol/140120 I became aware of an invitation issued to 125 libraries across our nation, a lure for these institutions of learning to participate in a five-part reading and discussion series, titled “Let’s Talk About It: Muslim Journeys.”  I do not use the term “lure” lightly, inasmuch as this is a strategy of the Muslim […]

THE SHAME OF BENGHAZI: CAL THOMAS

  http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | When anything bipartisan comes out of a polarized Washington, one should be grateful. That’s why a Senate Intelligence Committee report on the September 11, 2012 attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans represents progress of sorts. The committee, chaired by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, (D-CA), faults […]

Palestinians vs. Pro-Palestinian Israelis by Khaled Abu Toameh

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/4138/palestinians-israelis-minds-of-peace “Normalization [with Israel] is an act of treason.” — Large poster outside Ramallah peace conference. If Israelis and Palestinians are unable even to talk about peace, what would happen if and when Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas signs a peace deal with Israel? Might he, too, find himself being escorted out of Ramallah under […]

TED BELMAN: THE TWO STATE SOLUTION IS DEAD- LONG LIVE WHAT?

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-two-state-solution-is-dead-long-live-what?f=puball The Two-State Solution is dead.  All that remains is for the US to declare it so. Palestinians leaders and Israeli leaders have made it clear. In a speech on Jan 10/14, Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud  Abbas made it crystal clear that he would never abandon the “right of return”, would never recognize Israel as a […]

ROGER ARONOFF & BETHANY STOTTS: MORE PROOF THAT OBAMA KNEW THE TRUTH ABOUT BENGHAZI

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/further-proof-emerges-that-obama-knew-the-truth-about-benghazi New details have surfaced which further put the lie to the idea that the Obama administration’s knowledge of the Benghazi attacks was “developing” at the time, and that the administration could reasonably have believed that the terrorist attacks perpetrated on September 11, 2012 had anything to do with the anti-Islam video “Innocence of Muslims.” […]

KIM ZIGFELD: HOUSE INTEL CHAIRMAN MIKE ROGERS (R-MICHIGAN)-“SNOWDEN HAD ASSISTANCE FROM RUSSIAN SPIES”

http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2014/01/19/homeland-security-chair-echoes-rogers-on-snowden/?singlepage=true In a jaw-dropping revelation on NBC’s Meet the Press, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Michigan) has stated that he believes the fugitive Edward Snowden had assistance from Russian spies when he stole vast amounts of sensitive U.S. security data and fled to Russia. Rogers told MTP host David Gregory:  “Let me just say […]

DAVID HORNIK: ALI ABUNIMAH- AMERICA’S PURVEYOR OF ANTI-SEMITISM

http://pjmedia.com/lifestyle/2014/01/19/the-ten-worst-u-s-purveyors-of-antisemitism-4-ali-abunimah/

If you oppose Israel’s existence, and especially if you work for its destruction, you’re an antisemite—even if you don’t say things like “Jews are always out for your money,” “Jews control all the world’s governments and banks,” “Jews drink blood at Passover,” etc.

Israel is the world’s only Jewish state, and about half the world’s Jews live in it. If you devote yourself to its dissolution, you’re anti-Jewish—antisemitic—just as someone devoted to America’s dissolution would, of course, be anti-American.

Ali Abunimah, an American of Palestinian descent who runs the Electronic Intifada website, has been called “the leading American proponent of a one-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” “One-state solution” is code for Israel’s demise, to be replaced by a country of mixed Arab and Jewish population that would, however, extend the “right of return” to millions of descendants of (purported) Palestinian Arabs.
