More censorship of Hoffman

On July 18 I documented the role of New Jersey Supreme Court justices in a Chabad-Lubavitch Talmud seminar:

Bro. Nathaniel, a convert from Judaism to the Russian Orthodox Church, asked permission to reproduce this writer's findings and I granted him permission. He did indeed mention this writer as his source, but nota bene: when his reproduction of my article made the rounds of the right wing websites, specifically "Stormfront," I was removed as the source of the article, not by Bro. Nathaniel but by third parties, as the http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php?t=509402 link shows.

This unscrupulous plagiarism is extremely destructive of my work because people are denied the right to consult the source of the information. Who would do this and why? Cui bono?

On the eve of the publication of my new book, the censorship by shadowy forces inside the right wing, intended to guarantee that I remain largely unknown as a source of information on Judaism, continues.

New Jersey Supreme Court Justices at Talmud Seminar

MICHAEL A. HOFFMAN'S NOTE: The "Institute of American and Talmudic Law" (see below) was co-founded by Nathan Lewin, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's close friend. Lewin is a member of the institute's faculty. Mr. Lewin is on record advocating the killing of the parents and siblings of Palestinian suicide bombers. Justice Scalia is a staunch supporter of the institute, which teaches American judges and lawyers how to apply rabbinic halacha to US courts. There was widespread condemnation of Rowan Williams, England's Archbishop of Canterbury, when he said recently that some of Islam's Sharia law should be allowed to play a part in British jurisprudence. But the incorporation of Talmudic law into the US judiciary raises nary a whisper of disapprobation from the crusaders for "Western values"who denounced Williams. Do they imagine that rabbinic law is a western value? Note that the state education departments of New York and Pennsylvania officially accredit the Institute of American and Talmudic Law. Needless to say, the association of the Talmud with "civil rights" for gentiles is chutzpagh with a capital "C." Such falsification would leave even George Orwell speechless.

NEW JERSEY SUPREME COURT CHIEF JUSTICE RABNER AND ASSOCIATE JUSTICE ALBIN ADDRESS TALMUDIC LAW SEMINAR

July 17, 2008

http://www.chabad.org/news/article_cdo/aid/703108/jewish/Civil-Rights-on-the-Docket.htm

Some 200 attorneys and jurists packed a ballroom of the Madison Hotel in Morris Township, N.J., for two presentations dealing the nexus between civil rights law and Talmudic jurisprudence.

The topic for the second-annual Jewish Law Symposium, a project of Chabad-Lubavitch of Southeast Morris County, was "Democracy and the Uncertain Fate of Individual Rights."

Leading off the discussion was New Jersey Supreme Court Justice Barry T. Albin, who tackled the traditional American concept of civil rights; Rabbi Shlomo Yaffe, dean of the Institute of American and Talmudic Law, gave attendees the Jewish approach to the issue.

In a surprise appearance, the newly installed chief justice of the New Jersey Supreme Court, Stuart Rabner, shared a few words with the crowd before turning the dais over to Albin.

Participants could earn New York and Pennsylvania Continuing Legal Education credits for their attendance. "

The laws and ethics of the Talmud have served as a cornerstone of humanity's civil and moral infrastructure, while shaping it's legal systems," said Rabbi Shalom Lubin, founder of the Jewish Law Symposium and executive director of the sponsoring Chabad House."

Iran's role in helping the Afghan people

From Bloomberg.com:

Tehran's investment of $500 million in the region has helped the U.S. by minimizing the influence of the Taliban extremists who once ruled the country and the sort of violence they have inflicted on southern and eastern Afghanistan. Iran paved half of Herat's streets and 40 miles of highway leading north, built schools and health clinics and partnered with Afghan companies in an industrial park.

``It's not just investments, but also trade,'' said Ali Shah Ahmedi, the 43-year-old manager of Herat's Tejarat Hotel. ``I have Iranian businessmen staying here all the time, coming to buy or sell goods'' such as packaged foods and motorcycles.

Sana, 42, holds forth from his office in the Herat Trade Center, a modern nine-story building of gleaming blue glass that helped inspire residents' nickname for their city: ``the Dubai of Afghanistan.'' A hotel, law offices and a finance company that supports farmers are connected by an Afghanistan rarity: an elevator.

Traffic lights in Herat work, in contrast to the capital, Kabul, so vehicles flow smoothly around the Blue Mosque, an 800- year-old, blue-tiled landmark. Herat is cleaner than Kabul, with more trees and parks, and less dangerous, with fewer visible police and troops.

Ties between Iran and Herat run deep. The city was the capital of 15th-century Persia, and Iran held Herat until midway through the 19th century. Heratis, mostly Sunni Muslims, today speak a dialect closer to the Farsi spoken in Tehran than the Dari used in Kabul. Predominantly Shiite Iran opposed the Sunni Taliban -- who refused to educate girls when they ran Afghanistan, among other strictures -- as extreme. After the Taliban were toppled for harboring the terrorists behind the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, Tehran's government helped the U.S. and the UN begin the political transition that led to Hamid Karzai's election as president.

Iran's leaders feel that contribution wasn't properly acknowledged, said Manouchehr Mottaki, its foreign minister. The slight explains their refusal to help fight the Taliban's current insurgency, he said... (End quote from bloomberg.com)

Hoffman's Afterword: Iran got nothing for helping the US in Afghanistan in the aftermath of 2001. This led them to believe that backing off from nuclear power will only embolden the US Zionists (yes, you read that right; the US government does not represent "the West," it represents the Talmud and Zionism). US government Zionists seek nothing less than the overthrow of the elected government of Iran (so-called "regime change"). Advocating "regime change" in the US is considered "terrorism."

Socialism for the Rich: Fannie/Freddie Plan a `Disaster'

Fannie Plan a `Disaster' to Rogers
By Carol Massar and Eric Martin
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=ana3QllbJTkY&refer=home

July 14 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Treasury Department's plan to shore up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is an ``unmitigated disaster'' and the largest U.S. mortgage lenders are ``basically insolvent,'' according to investor Jim Rogers.

Taxpayers will be saddled with debt if Congress approves U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's request for the authority to buy unlimited stakes in and lend to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Rogers said in a Bloomberg Television interview. Rogers is betting that Fannie Mae shares will keep tumbling...

``I don't know where these guys get the audacity to take our money, taxpayer money, and buy stock in Fannie Mae,'' Rogers, 65, said in an interview from Singapore. ``So we're going to bail out everybody else in the world. And it ruins the Federal Reserve's balance sheet and it makes the dollar more vulnerable and it increases inflation.''

The chairman of Rogers Holdings, who in April 2006 correctly predicted oil would reach $100 a barrel and gold $1,000 an ounce, also said the commodities bull market has a ``long way to go'' and advised buying agricultural commodities.

Rogers, a former partner of hedge fund manager George Soros, predicted the start of the commodities rally in 1999 and started buying Chinese stocks in the same year. He traveled the world by motorcycle and car in the 1990s researching investment ideas for his books, which include ``Adventure Capitalist'' and "Hot Commodities.''

Billionaire investor Soros said today that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac face a "solvency crisis,'' not a liquidity one, and that their troubles won't be the last financial disruption, Reuters reported. "This is a very serious financial crisis and it is the most serious financial crisis of our lifetime,'' Soros told Reuters in a telephone interview. ``It is an idle dream to think that you could have this kind of crisis without the real economy being affected.''

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac each surged more than 20 percent in pre-market trading today after Paulson moved to stem a collapse in confidence in the two companies that purchase or finance almost half of the $12 trillion in U.S. home loans. Fannie Mae's market value is now about $10 billion, down from $38.9 billion at the end of 2007. Freddie Mac's market value has shrunk to about $5 billion from $22 billion at the end of last year.

"These companies were going to go bankrupt if they hadn't stepped in to do something, and they should've gone bankrupt with all of the mistakes they've made,'' Rogers said. ``What's going to happen when you Band-Aid and put some Band-Aids on it for another year or two or three? What's going to happen three years from now when the situation's much, much, much worse?''

Paulson's proposal, which the Treasury anticipates will be incorporated into an existing congressional bill and approved this week, signals a shift toward an explicit guarantee of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac debt.

The Federal Reserve separately authorized the firms to borrow directly from the central bank.

Shorts Uncovered

Washington-based Fannie Mae slid 45 percent last week, while McLean, Virginia-based Freddie Mac sank 47 percent on concern they may require a bailout that would wipe out shareholders.

Former St. Louis Federal Reserve President William Poole last week said in an interview that Freddie Mac is technically insolvent under fair value accounting, which measure a company's net worth if it had to liquidate all its assets to repay liabilities. Poole said Fannie Mae may also become insolvent this quarter.

Rogers said he had not covered his so-called short positions in Fannie Mae and would increase his bet if it were to rally. Short sellers borrow stock and then sell it in an effort to profit by repurchasing the securities later at a lower price and returning them to the holder.

The U.S. economy is in a recession, possibly the worst since World War II, Rogers said. "They're ruining what has been one of the greatest economies in the world,'' Rogers said. Bernanke and Paulson "are bailing out their friends on Wall Street but there are 300 million Americans that are going to have to pay for this.''

McCain: Let's Kill Iranians with Cigarettes

Iran denounces McCain's remarks about cigarettes

July 13, 2008. Tehran, Iran (AP) — Iran's Foreign Ministry has condemned remarks by Republican presidential candidate John McCain that exporting cigarettes could be a way of killing Iranians.

The state-owned English language IRAN daily has quoted ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini denouncing the remarks as "inappropriate" and describing McCain's attitude as "regretful." Last week, McCain was asked about an Associated Press report that the U.S. exported $158 million worth of cigarettes to Iran during the Bush administration in spite of restrictions on U.S. imports. "Maybe that's a way of killing them," McCain said. He then said that he was joking. Iran has officially announced that it supports neither U.S. presidential campaign but does hope the election will bring a change in U.S. foreign policy.

'Whiners?' Phil Gramm is a pimp for corporate criminals

McCain Adviser Refers to "Nation of Whiners"

...one of his (Senator John McCain's) top economic advisers was quoted Thursday (July 10) as saying that the United States was only in a "mental recession" and that it had become a "nation of whiners." The adviser, former Senator Phil Gramm, Republican of Texas, sought to clarify his remarks Thursday...But it was too late to keep from complicating things for Mr. McCain...Mr. Gramm (is) McCain campaign co-chairman (and) UBS Investment Bank vice chairman..." -New York Times, July, 2008

***

Gramm's record as a pimp for corporate criminals:

Anyone who lived on the West Coast during the phony energy crisis of 2000 and 2001 cannot help thinking of Texas and two of its worst products — Enron and a politician... named (Phil Gramm)...What happened during the great energy heist at the start of the new century was like an extended bad dream, part “Twilight Zone” and part “Chinatown,” the extraordinary 1974 film about water manipulation and long-buried secrets. The price of energy spiked — tenfold, a hundredfold — despite low demand. Californians became the most efficient users of power in the nation, and still suffered through dozens of rolling blackouts. None of it added up.

...We now know, of course, that the problem eight years ago was caused by manipulation by Enron and other speculators who gamed a faulty system, sticking it to Grandma Millie while laughing at how easy it was to rob 40 million people.

Now consider the present dilemma: oil doubling over the last year, gas at $4.50 a gallon in places and the oversized influence of speculators in a market where few used to tread. Big investors are free to run up oil futures contracts thanks in part to former Senator Phil Gramm. He is the Texas Republican who co-sponsored the so-called Enron loophole in 2000 at the behest of what was later found to be one of the nation’s biggest criminal enterprises.

Enron may be gone, but its legacy lingers in the work done by politicians who did its bidding. And Gramm, who once told corporate contributors, “I have the most reliable friend you can have in American politics, and that’s ready money,” is now the chief economic adviser to Senator John McCain. Gramm’s role in helping to unleash energy speculators has been well-documented in recent months... -Timothy Egan, New York Times, June 25, 2008

Gramm on Social Security: “Most people don’t have the luxury of living to be 80 years old, so it’s hard for me to feel sorry for them.”

Added July 13 - from Bob Herbert:

A pro basketball player named Micheal (yes, that’s the way he spells it) Ray Richardson once famously said of the New York Knicks franchise: “The ship be sinking.” When a reporter asked him how far it could sink, Richardson reportedly replied: “Sky’s the limit.”

Something similar might be said about today’s economy, although Phil Gramm, a remarkably out-of-touch former senator from Micheal Ray’s home state of Texas, would beg to differ. You may have lost your job or the family home. Or maybe you’re behind in your car payment or your health insurance premium. Perhaps you can’t afford the gas to get to work.

Phil Gramm will have none of your complaints: Get over it! Stop whining and eat your gruel. This recession’s all in your head...“We’re the only nation in the world,” Mr. Gramm once said, “where all our poor people are fat” (that's because the poor eat empty, white flour types of junk food which are devoid of mineral content and other nourishment and consequently they're always hungry, even when overweight. It's called malnutrition. -Hoffman).

During one of the many Republican assaults on Social Security, the issue of cutting back benefits for the elderly came up in the Senate. “They are 80-year-olds,” howled Mr. Gramm. “Most people don’t have the luxury of living to be 80 years old, so it’s hard for me to feel sorry for them.”

John McCain, whose Straight Talk Express ran out of gas long ago, tried to paper over the implications of Mr. Gramm’s unseemly outburst this week about the very real suffering that has descended on millions of Americans...But the truth is that Mr. Gramm, a close friend of Senator McCain’s for many years, has had a very loud say in the economic policies of the McCain presidential campaign. And those policies are...threatening to sink the ship of state, even as the very wealthy are dancing mindlessly to the music of another Gilded Age.

In the real world, somewhere outside of Phil Gramm’s field of vision, increasing numbers of Americans are working two and three jobs to make ends meet; struggling families are worried sick in July about what it will cost to heat their homes in January; food costs and home foreclosures are soaring; the job market has tanked; and the stock markets are running with the bears.
In that kind of atmosphere, it’s beyond obscene to have to listen to some platinum-card-carrying fat cat tell us, in a tone dripping with condescension: “You’ve heard of mental depression; this is a mental recession.”

What does it say about John McCain’s judgment that this guy was one of his top — and possibly his pre-eminent — economic adviser? What does it say about Mr. McCain’s judgment that in 1996, he believed Phil Gramm was the best choice to be president?

The biggest failing of both parties in this presidential campaign has been the unwillingness to be forthright with the public about the true extent of the crises facing the country. The federal government and ordinary Americans are up to their eyeballs in debt. Much of the financial sector is in deep trouble, with previously blue-chip companies wobbling along on legs as rubbery as a bad check.

Perpetual war in Iraq and oil prices spiking toward the moon are adding to a sense of national paralysis. Where is the money to invest in ventures that will create good new jobs, that will chart new directions in energy self-sufficiency, that will revitalize the public schools, rebuild the nation’s infrastructure, put New Orleans back on its feet?

...the reckless and deliberately inequitable policies of the past several years have gotten the U.S. into this terrible fix...the war in Iraq is hurting us here at home. We should be seeing charts and graphs explaining how ordinary Americans, now the hardest-working people on the planet, have been cheated out of their share of the extraordinary productivity improvements they’ve racked up over the years.

There should be a sense of urgency... in this campaign, a clarion call compelling enough to rally the legions who have been treated unfairly and badly hurt in the nation’s other undeclared war: the class war. Phil Gramm was a general in that conflict, and there was nothing cute about it. -NY Times, July 12, 2008

Alleged Holocaust Denier Prosecuted at Behest of Wiesel

At left: Eric Hunt

San Francisco Chronicle | July 8, 2008

SAN FRANCISCO -- Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel told a San Francisco jury Monday that the man who yanked him out of a hotel elevator last year ignored his anguished cries for help and then fled with the words, "You are afraid of truth."

The 79-year-old Wiesel recounted to jurors how he encountered Eric Hunt, 24, while riding in the elevator at the Argent Hotel on Third Street on the evening of Feb. 1, 2007, after a peace conference.

Hunt, a New Jersey resident who police said had followed Wiesel from Florida to California, has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to crimes including attempted kidnapping, false imprisonment, battery and elder abuse.

As they rode up together, Hunt demanded that Wiesel come to his room for an interview, the author testified. "All of a sudden, he turned to me and said, 'You come with me!' " Wiesel said. "I was shocked."

When Wiesel refused, Hunted grabbed him and pulled him out of the elevator when it stopped at the sixth floor, Wiesel said. "I felt assaulted," he testified in response to a question from prosecutor Alan Kennedy.

Once out of the elevator, Wiesel managed to break away. "I don't know how, but I freed myself and he let go," he said.
Wiesel said he feared he was going to be kidnapped, and cried out for help for what he estimated was three minutes as Hunt stood there. No one came. Eventually, when the elevator was about to stop on the floor again, Hunt walked off, but left a final message.

"He simply said ... something that puzzled me for days. 'You are afraid of truth!' " Wiesel said. "Those were his last and only words. Then he left."

Wiesel testified said he was struck by the blank face of the man who had accosted him.

"It was such an air of total indifference, quasi-indifference, to what I was doing, what I was feeling or saying," Wiesel said.
Hunt was arrested three weeks later, after someone identifying himself as Hunt posted an account of the incident on an anti-Semitic Web site.

In an interview with police, Hunt said he had been trying to get Wiesel to confess that the Holocaust never happened, authorities said.

Wiesel is the author of more than 40 books on the Holocaust, Judaism and related topics. His father, mother and younger sister died in Nazi concentration camps. Wiesel was deported from his native Romania to the Auschwitz death camp in 1944, but survived.

"I don't know why I survived," he testified Monday. "To this day, I don't know."

Wiesel, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986, said he had committed his life to telling the truth about the horrors of the Holocaust. "I get hate mail," he said. "To my surprise, I realize that fighting hatred can generate hatred from the haters."
He said he has been in war-torn countries, but the fear he felt in the encounter in the hotel elevator was different and was similar to the fear he felt in the concentration camps.

"I was in dangerous places, (but) I never felt such fear," he said.

Since the incident, he is accompanied in public by a bodyguard. "I must confess to you, I do not like it," he said.

But, he said, he still trusts people to be basically good.

"I still trust the person, whoever that person is," Wiesel said.

Hunt's attorney, John Runfola, suggested during cross-examination that Wiesel's busy travel schedule may have exaggerated his reaction to the encounter.

He also asked whether Wiesel had suffered any permanent injury as a result. Wiesel said he had not.

Wiesel will continue his testimony today.

E-mail Jaxon Van Derbeken at jvanderbeken@sfchronicle.com

Haaretz Feb. 18, 2007: A Holocaust denier who gave his name as "Eric Hunt" wrote in a February 6 posting on an anti-Semitic Web site about why he had confronted Wiesel, who has written extensively on the Holocaust. "I had planned to bring Wiesel to my hotel room where he would truthfully answer my questions regarding the fact that his non-fiction Holocaust memoir, 'Night,' is almost entirely fictitious," the writer said.

Noam Chomsky has called Wiesel "a terrible fraud."
