“THE GOD of the cannibals will be a cannibal, of the crusaders a crusader, and of the merchants a merchant.” Ralph Waldo Emerson (Civilization, 1862). Likewise, I’d suggest, the God of the forgiving is merciful, and the God of the murderous is an angry God of vengeance.
TWIN TORTURE CITIES! The twinning of Chicago and Israel’s Petach Tikva was made official recently during ceremonies at the Hilton hotel, 720 So. Michigan Ave. Petach Tikva is internationally infamous as Israel’s torture city; the place where it sends Palestinians to be professionally tortured. Though I didn’t recognize any of the entering celebrants they were obviously from the dwindling number of Chicago’s Jews who promote genocide of Palestinians. Chicago pols must have entered from the alley; they didn’t enter through the front. This twinning celebration occurred just days after Israel murdered life-saving aid-givers to Gazans targeted for death. One of those murdered was American; but Obama continues all of Bush’s crimes, and ranks Israeli “right” to murder above even the life of an American, and infinitely above Palestinian lives.
THE AID FLOTILLA massacre is being investigated by—the perpetrator. But not to worry—Israel’s self-investigation was OK’d by the international community (Obama and Hillary). For appearance’s sake they assigned two Non-Israeli observers; a Canadian army officer and David Trimble, the leader of Occupied Ireland’s Loyalists. Who chose Trimble? Trimble’s Loyalist supporters fly Israel’s Star of David flag throughout their neighborhoods while Palestinian flags are flown throughout Irish areas. The Occupied Irish had identified with the Jews ever since the Shoah, while the Loyalists allied with Britain’s Neo-Nazis including Combat 18 (1=A for Adolph, 8=H for Hitler). Some 20 years ago Israel’s treatment of Palestine affected Occupied Ireland; its Irish stopped admiring Israel and became sympathetic with Palestine, while the Nazi-allied Loyalists began to identify with Israel. About a decade ago a Combat 18 leader complained by letter to the Loyalists, referring to Combat 18’s long-time support against “the Niggers” (Neo-Nazi call the Irish “Niggers”), and suggesting that C-18’s support can’t continue if the Loyalists support Israelis (also “Niggers” per C-18).
WHY DID Mayor Daley permit Chicago to be twinned with the abominable Petach Tikva? Is he proclaiming that Chicago, too, is a torture city? We know of Cook County jail torture, and of Chicago’s long-time defense of Jon Burge and his torture gang. Despite a huge City Law Dept. defending Burge, the City spent further $millions to shield him from justice.
A QUESTION our US Senators and Congressman must answer; On what lawful and moral basis do citizens of Poland, Russia, Germany, and Brooklyn, USA possess overriding claims to Palestinian homes and lands in Palestine? Also; exactly why are $7 million per day, 365 days per year, of our taxes going to finance Israel’s genocide of Palestine? Silence gives consent; our failure to object effectively makes us their accomplices.
BLOODY SUNDAY’s official cover-up is over. British P.M. Cameron just stated what everyone knew, excepting Ireland’s gov’t and other Crown sycophants. Cameron admitted that the British soldiers had “unjustifiably shot” the thirty Derry human rights marchers, of whom 14 died, and that the victims hadn’t posed a physical threat. Thus ends 38 years of British and Irish gov’t denials, perjuries, false accusations against the dead, corrupt verdicts, the utterly corrupt Widgery Report, etc. We salute their relatives’ long struggle for justice and must always gratefully remember those Chicago Aldermen who spearheaded the support for years when asked: Aldermen Tom Murphy, Michael Sheahan, Edward Burke and Patrick O’Connor (until the latter two became British collaborators). The Illinois State legislature also provided support when asked, as did the Chicago and Cook County Building and Construction and Trades Council. Why was Britain expected to, or even allowed to, investigate itself? Justice-seekers know that prosecution of Bloody Sunday’s murderers and their abettors will be decisive; only then can the world expect the rule of law to be applied to the “war on terror.” Impunity for Bloody Sunday would be license for continued war crimes.
THE DEPTH of official Ireland’s degradation is made clear by its 38-year failure to legally intervene on behalf of its Derry citizens. Now it is faced with the even greater crime of having covered up, not an atrocity of its own doing, but lethal attacks on Irish soil by a foreign power on May 17, 1974 in Dublin and Monaghan that killed 33 and wounded 300, all Irish civilians. Meanwhile, Irish Consuls in Chicago always attribute such violence to the IRA. Once clear that the Irish gov’t would not prosecute the known perpetrators, the IRA killed a few of them. Another, Somerville, was killed near the border in the premature explosion of the bomb he was placing aboard the Miami Showband bus, intended to detonate after it got home in the 26-Counties.
GREAT NEWS!—from Ireland’s gov’t, no less! It recently released the official census documents of 1901 and 1911! Go to http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie.

THE IRISH GOV’T fabricates history and destroys its own legitimacy. Why? Who are the traitors? It’s hard to believe, but true, that in 2008 Ireland’s State TV [Radio Telefis Eireann (RTE)] collaborated in, and repeatedly aired, gross fabrications about an event in the War of Independence in 1921 Co. Offaly, rejecting all corrections. Though the film has been refuted in all its details by the book, Coolacrease, the Irish gov’t continues to promote the film and its falsehoods; most recently at University College Dublin.
THE IRISH HOLOCAUST, particularly Britain’s at-gunpoint removal of Ireland’s abundant food at that time, is being covered up by the “Irish” government. An expensive propaganda campaign it is waging along with a complicit university states, in part. “An exhibition, presented through September 3 by Quinnipiac University, is currently underway at the Consulate General of Ireland in New York City, showcasing sculpture, paintings, and writings on the Irish Famine. The exhibition, “Ireland’s Great Hunger, An Gorta Mór: The Quinnipiac University Collection,” is a collection of works that focus on the famine in Ireland, which lasted from 1845-1850. During this time, nearly all of Ireland’s potato crops were destroyed. The destruction of crops, as well as the lack of support from the British government, resulted in the death of 1.5 million Irish citizens. Over two million others immigrated to various other nations around the world to escape the famine. The exhibition at the Consulate General of Ireland is the first time that the exhibit has ever traveled from its permanent home in the Lender Special Collection room at Quinnipiac University. The collection includes over 700 volumes on the actual famine period, as well as others focusing on peripheral issues that helped shape the events surrounding the tragedy.” Have they no shame?
