Freud in Zion Three Jewishly-conflicted German speakers changed the course of modern history. By the time the first, Karl Marx, had died in 1883, Sigmund Freud and Theodor Herzl were rising stars in their twenties; later, they came to be neighbors living but a few doors apart on a Vienna street. Whereas Herzl determined that […]

“If the oil and the gas start to flow in anything like the quantities experts think now may be possible, expect many more visitors to Jerusalem to say similar things to Israelis and the Al Aqsa Institute will have to issue a lot more angry rebuttals. An Israel with vast energy endowments may be less coolly received in certain circles than it is today.In the meantime, we wonder if there was an 11th, hitherto undiscovered commandment on those tablets at Sinai: Thou shalt drill, baby, thou shalt drill.”
Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir famously lamented that Moses led the children of Israel for forty years of wandering in the desert until he found the only place in the Middle East where there wasn’t any oil.But could Moses have been smarter than believed? Apparently the Canadians and the Russians think so, as both countries are moving to step up energy relations with a tiny nation whose total energy reserves some experts now think could rival or even surpass the fabled oil wealth of Saudi Arabia.
Actual production is still miniscule, but evidence is accumulating that the Promised Land, from a natural resource point of view, could be an El Dorado: inch for inch the most valuable and energy rich country anywhere in the world. If this turns out to be true, a lot of things are going to change, and some of those changes are already underway.
Israel and Canada have just signed an agreement to cooperate on the exploration and development of what, apparently, could be vast shale oil reserves beneath the Jewish state.
The prospect of huge oil reserves in Israel comes on top of the recent news about large natural gas discoveries off the coast that have been increasingly attracting attention and investor interest. The apparent gas riches have also been attracting international trouble. Lebanon disputes the undersea boundary with Israel (an act somewhat complicated by the fact that Lebanon has never actually recognized Israel’s existence), and overlapping claims from Turkey and Greece themselves plus both Greek and Turkish authorities on Cyprus further complicate matters. Yet despite these tensions, following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s surprisingly cordial visit last week, Gazprom and Israel have announced plans to cooperate on gas extraction.

http://dailycaller.com/2012/07/03/protect-america-first-mr-obama/ Last Friday, millions of Americans from Illinois to the Delmarva Peninsula were hit by an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) missile: no lights, no air conditioning, no Internet, no cellphones and no refrigerators for their insulin. Actually, it was a storm called a “derecho,” but its effects were similar to that of an EMP missile. EMP? […]
http://pjmedia.com/spengler/2012/07/04/a-national-anthem-that-begins-and-ends-with-a-question/?singlepage=true There’s no mistaking Francis Scott Key for a great poet, but like other minor talents at exalted moments, Julia Ward Howe, for example, he wrote a great poem. It might seem a stretch to think of “The Star-Spangled Banner” as high art, but its first verse, despite some deficiencies, has true grandeur. Some years […]

Polonium poisoning? Some tall tales refuse to die. In the Arab Mideast they even grow – often to gargantuan proportions, usually proportionate to their inherent preposterousness. This is the case with insinuations about the cause of Yasser Arafat’s death eight years ago, at the age of 75. Conspiracy theories abound. The only scenario serially discounted […]

What’s doing – and been doing – at the US Jerusalem Consulate whose goal includes “to strengthen the Palestinian economy and provide you with the infrastructure you need…We are driven by a single, overarching goal: to help build an independent Palestinian state living side-by-side in peace and security with Israel.”:
And how is that accomplished? Is true peace a goal? Coexistence? Understanding? Shared values? Joint projects and cooperation?Try again.Jews are an excluded populace.

Hello to my American friends,
some news from occupied France…
The situation in France, now that the Socialists have all the powers (President, the 2 chambers, all the regions but 2, the biggest towns…), is horrendous. The Socialists are massively increasing all the taxes (corporate taxes, income taxes, and social taxes !), which were already the highest in the world (see Forbes’s “Tax Misery Index”). At the same time, they are increasing the minimum wage : the result will be that many businesses will go broke, that unemployment, which is already very high (over 10%) will explode, that our economy will be destroyed.
Some other crazy decisions :
— they will cancel the tribunals for teenagers who have committed violent crimes ;
— they will force the policemen to give a document to each “youth” (delinquent) they control, so that they cannot control the delinquents more than once a day ;
— they are freezing the rents, so that the owners cannot increase the rent when a new tenant is moving in ;
— they will forbid the business leaders of public companies to earn more than 20 times the lower wage in their company ;
— etc.
