RUTHFULLY YOURS

http://www.dianawest.net/Home/tabid/36/EntryId/2161/Why-Arizona-Matters.aspx

I find it difficult to regard the Supreme Court decision on Arizona immigration law as just another controversial or disappointing highest court decision. There is something almost post-apocolyptic and certainly pre-totalitarian when, to invoke Justice Scalia’s dissent, the Court has ruled that Arizona contradicts federal law by enforcing it. Yes, as Scalia put it, it “boggles the mind.” It also conjures up truly alarming comparisons with “justice” as meted out by kangaroo courts, show trials and other horrors of totalitarian dictatorships.

We understand such criminal acts of going through the motions as sham procedures that have no intention of upholding the rule of law, but rather go forward to entrench an ideology or regime or, usually, both. It is shocking, therefore, to see even a pale reflection of such things in this ruling, the perfect endpiece to President Obama’s recent Rose Garden Amnesty. Maybe it’s the context of lawlessness and abdication of responsibility we live amid (I discuss this at some length here). In these lawless and irresponsible times, Arizona’s immigration law sets a dangerous precedent, demonstrating how both to re-establish the rule of law and take responsibility.

Is that why, circa 2012, it had to be struck down?

WHY AM I SKEPTICAL? BRANDEIS WHICH HAS BECOME A HOTBED OF ANTI-ISRAEL RHETORIC WAS FOUNDED AS A JEWISH UNIVERSITY……RSK

Group founded by Russian-Jewish oligarchs to bestow annual $1m prize for achievements in arts, sciences or activism. Photo: Courtesy A Jewish foundation on Tuesday announced the creation of an annual award with a one million dollar cash prize that will be bestowed upon a personality with strong ties to the Jewish people for his or her achievements in the fields of art, science or diplomacy The Genesis Philanthropy Group headed by Russian-Jewish businessmen including billionaires Mikhail Fridman, Pyotr Aven and German Khan, among others, said the Genesis Prize, which has been likened to a “Jewish Noble Prize,” would help strengthen ties between Israel and the Diaspora.

“The Genesis Prize emphasizes the contribution of the Jews to world history,” Fridman was quoted as saying in a press release. “Far-reaching achievements in science, the arts, business, medicine, diplomacy and other fields of human endeavor have been realized thanks to the Jewish people’s natural aspiration to improve the world and to its desire to pass its moral values on to coming generations. This tradition of the Jewish people must continue.”

The announcement was made during a meeting in Jerusalem between Fridman, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Jewish Agency for Israel Chairman Nathan Sharansky.

The one million dollar award would put the new accolade on a par with the famous Noble Prize, which comes with a $1.1 million gift. So far about 20 percent of Noble Prize laureates have been Jewish, a staggering number considering Jews make up about 0.2 percent of the world’s population. Jewish recipients of the Noble include the likes of physicist Albert Einstein, author Shai Agnon; and slain prime minister Yitzhak Rabin and current President Shimon Peres, who received the award together.

In the video below, we see a small number of Christians who gathered holding Christian signs at the 2012 Dearbor, Michigan Arab festival being assaulted by Muslims with bottles, stones, and other objects. The police do not protect the Christians or take action against the perpetrators; in the end, they reprimand the Christians and instruct them to leave. Ever since, there has been no coverage of this outrageous event in our media. Nor has CAIR or any other Muslim organization denounced the Muslims who abused the Christians.

One can’t help but wonder: If a small group of Muslims gathered in the U.S. somewhere with a few signs depicting Koranic verses, and a mass crowd of Christians or Jews began to assault them, verbally and physically, threatening violence and mayhem, would police tell the Muslims to leave, instead of acting against the perpetrators? And would the media be completely quiet about it? Would Muslim groups be silent about it after?

What if Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson gathered in a civil rights rally and they were surrounded and stoned by a mob of KKK supporters? Would the police show up and reprimand Sharpton and Jackson and instruct them to leave, all the while leaving the racist perpetrators untouched? And if this happened, would our media be completely silent about it? Would Anderson Cooper be completely silent every evening on CNN as he is at the moment about the stoning of the Christians in Dearborn?

We encourage our readers to watch the video and to ponder what is happening not only in the Middle East, but on the soil of the United States of America:

Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Israel this week, just as Egypt announced the victory of Mohammed Morsi in its first “civilian” presidential election. The fuss made over the former — bordering on fawning — temporarily drowned out “concerned reactions” in relation to the latter. But the bottom line regarding both is that Israel is screwed, no matter what pomp, circumstance, or spin it engages in to buy time before genuinely grasping how alone it really is in the world right now. It is facing a nuclear Iran bent on its destruction; it is watching as each country in its immediate neighborhood is becoming Islamized (even its former buddy, Turkey); it is hearing a self-imploding Europe accuse it of being at the root of all problems in the Middle East; and last but certainly not least, it is prey to all of the above without America’s embrace.

“Palestinian Arabs, as opposed to Arabic-speaking residents, have not been in the area west of the Jordan River from the Islamic occupation, from the Ottoman Empire, or even from British rule since 1917. No Palestinian state has ever existed, and so, no Palestinian people has ever been robbed of its land. There is no language or dialect known as Palestinian; there is no Palestinian culture distinct from that of surrounding Arab ones; and there has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians at any time in history. For these reasons, Palestinians have been driven to fabricate a past by denying and expropriating that of Jews and Israel.”

The vast literature proving the historic Jewish connection to the Land of Israel has been extensively manipulated and distorted as part of the Palestinian politics of nationalism. Propaganda, indoctrination, and socialization, both domestically and internationally, are essential parts of the strategy and tactics of asserting Palestinian nationhood and statehood. By appropriating to themselves the values, traditions, and historical facts that belong to the Jews, Palestinians have managed to fabricate a “legitimate” history and political traditions out of nothing while denying those of Israel.

How come our president did not think any of these young victims “could have been his son?”…..rsk

I know you’re busy writing to your friends to ask them to skip your birthday present this year and send the cash to Obama, but I just want to interrupt you for a minute to introduce you to 32 parents who probably won’t be fundraising for Obama anytime soon.
Kent and Josephine Terry are the parents of slain Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, who sacrificed his life protecting ours. Last week, they spoke up for the first time with a message to Obama, who has asserted executive privilege to hide documents on Operation Fast and Furious.
When asked what they’d say to Obama and Eric Holder, Kent Terry replied, “I probably couldn’t say on camera what I’d like to say to them. But I’d say get their heads out of their butt anyway.”

(Please don’t share this quote with the “important” gay activists whom Obama invited to the White House, where they ran riot, kissing and exposing their middle digits to Reagan’s portrait. They might get too excited.)

Brian Terry was murdered in December 2010 with guns from Obama’s Fast and Furious program, which is politely (and fictitiously) described as a botched gun-tracing operation. Somehow this “botching” resulted in the most violent Mexican drug cartels being armed with thousands of assault weapons, which they used to slaughter 300 Mexicans and Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

FEW AUTHORS ARE SO ARTICULATE, ERUDITE AND WITTY…..RSK

Yes, that’s right folks, my new book The Fortunes of Permanence: Culture and Anarchy in an Age of Amnesia is available now, at a huge discount, at the world’s biggest bookstore, viz Amazon.The President of the United States wants you to forgo “wedding, anniversary, or birthday” gifts in order to contribute to his campaign. “It goes a lot further than a gravy bowl,” he says. (But does it go further than the government-funded gravy train? We’re left in the dark about that.)

I say, keep your silver-plated fish slicer, if that’s what you want, but why not consider a lasting gift—The Fortunes of Permanence? Maybe you should send a copy to the President: he’ll have plenty of time for serious reading come January, and what could be better calculated to stir this President’s gray matter than a book featuring an image by Thomas Cole of a ruined city on its cover? A single click here and the book will be winging its way to you (or to anyone to whom you’d like to send a gift) in hours. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you (or he or she) will get it in 2-days post-free. Think of how many liberals you could annoy by the simple expedient of sending them Kimball’s latest! Any day now (or so I am told) a Kindle version will also be available, ditto a version for the iPad through Apple’s iBooks store and Barnes & Noble’s Nook: we have all the technological bases covered. But right now you can take a moment to go to the page, buy the book, and don;t forget to click Like if you like the book or to leave a customer review if you feel so moved. What’s in it for you?
