Learn Israel's Secrets With Barry Chamish Israel's Most Controversial, Heroic Journalist Now Available For US Appearances By Cheryl Storrs 6-27-6 LEARN ISRAEL'S SECRETS WITH BARRY CHAMISH Barry Chamish is Israel's most controversial writer. Ten years ago he claimed in his bestselling book, Who Murdered Yitzhak Rabin, that the prime minister was murdered in a coup from within his own party. In the past 3 years, every major newspaper poll has proved the majority of Israelis support Chamish. The Israeli answer was to smear Chamish with ugly web sites, rumors and violent accidents. Tired of the harassment, Barry Chamish is in the U.S. for at least 4 months and offering his lectures to your congregations and organizations for free. FREE SPEECH Mr. Chamish will offer your group a lecture for the cost of their generosity. Whatever they raise will be his fee. The only cost will be travel and accommodation of any kind. Further, if as was the case in Denver in mid-June, when there were 3 congregations wanting to hear him and someone to drive him to the speeches, Mr. Chamish will risk it all and cover the travel expenses. In any case, Mr. Chamish is located in the United States and travel will not be a huge issue. A STUNNING EVENING Mr. Chamish offers a choice of three speeches. WHO MURDERED YITZHAK RABIN - When Rabin got cold feet about Oslo, he was eliminated by his own political faction. This speech contains 5 video clips and 18 once secret documents. Besides churches and synagogues, major universities worldwide, Rupert Murdoch U, Hong Kong U, Yeshiva U, etc. have ordered the event. THE SECRET WAR AGAINST THE SETTLERS - First presented at Messengers Of Messiah in California before the Gaza pullout, the lecture details the undeclared war to remove the settlers from their homes, including the violent removal of two dozen of their rabbis. The settlers have become complacent in the wake of the war and will surrender with barely a fight. THE VATICAN'S NEW CRUSADE AGAINST JERUSALEM - Just given to three Denver congregations to great enthusiasm, Bet Messiah, Hagigah and Restoration Fellowship, Chamish exposes the Vatican's campaign to re-establish the Holy Roman Empire of Charlemagne. Here is the reason Europe wants Israel out of Jerusalem. PRAISE FOR CHAMISH Chamish has appeared on the fine radio shows of protest including Jeff Rense, Alex Jones, Joyce Riley, Don Weidemann, Dr. Stan Monteith etc. Alex Jones has called him a great Israeli patriot. Rense and Monteith have noted his research has held the test of nearly 15 years. Oslo is as he first described it, was right on the money. After 4 lectures at Bet Messiah, Don Weidemann notes the same enthusiasm for the last lecture as the first. LET YOUR CHURCH OR ORGANIZATION... Know why Israel's government has chosen to divide the country and leave it ultimately, defenseless against rockets, terror and war. Mr. Chamish knows who is guiding Israel to disaster and the answers will satisfy your group. For four months he will be in America seeing if his answer has an audience. Invite him to speak today.

Offered by Sens. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) and Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.), the amendment to Senator Stevens' telecommunications bill (S. 2686) would have ensured meaningful protection for Net Neutrality, preventing big phone and cable companies from turning the Internet into their private tollway. The amendment failed by a tie vote of 11-11. All ten Democratic committee members voted in favor with Senator Snowe. The eleven remaining Republican members voted against the amendment. In response to the vote, Free Press, the Consumers Union and the Consumer Federation of America made the following statement: Ben Scott, Policy Director, Free Press: "The tie vote in the Commerce Committee shows the gathering momentum for Network Neutrality across political lines. In the past several weeks, this fundamental principle has moved from obscurity to the center stage in the debate over our nation's telecommunications policy. The issue of Net Neutrality will continue to gain speed as the full Senate takes up a bill that will determine the fate of Internet freedom. "The voices of millions of average citizens are just starting to break through the misinformation and lies being peddled by the big phone and cable companies who want to erect tollbooths on the Internet. Across the country, people are catching on to these companies' plans, and they won't forget which leaders stood up for the public interest. "We applaud the bipartisan leadership of Senators Snowe and Dorgan on this crucial issue, and thank all of the senators who will carry on the fight for a free and open Internet as this legislation moves forward." Jeannine Kenney, Senior Policy Analyst, Consumers Union: "The network neutrality nondiscrimination principle, which protects competition, maximizes consumer choice, and guarantees fair market practices, is one step closer to being abandoned with the Senate Commerce Committee's vote. This endangers the most important engine for economic growth and democratic communication in modern society. Nondiscrimination made possible the grand successes of the Internet. Its removal can take them away. "The biggest winners today are big money and special interest industry groups — and no one else. But this fight is far from over. The public can win back Internet freedom by ringing up their Senators and telling them that consumers need more broadband choices than monopoly cable and phone providers that discriminate." Mark Cooper, Director of Consumer Research, Consumer Federation of America: "The Committee today handed telephone and cable companies a license to be the gatekeepers for consumers' access to their online services and information providers. "Unless the rest of the Senate stands up for the public interest, consumers can kiss goodbye the wide array of low-cost, competitive choices and stunning innovation that the Internet has brought them. It is consumers, and not the bells and cable giants, who get to choose who wins and loses in the online marketplace." Free Press, Consumers Union and the Consumer Federation of America are members of the SavetheInternet.com Coalition, a broad grassroots campaign involving more than 750 organizations, one million Americans and 7,000 bloggers in support of meaningful and enforceable Net Neutrality legislation. ***** American Scholars Symposium A Huge Success Attendees from around the globe attest to 'best 9/11 truth conference ever' Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet.com June 26 2006 Over 1200 attendees from as far field as Japan, Great Britain and Australia converged on the Sheraton Hotel in Los Angeles to enjoy a conference that they later described as the best 9/11 truth symposium ever, the highlight of which was a personal appearance and speech by Hollywood star and 9/11 truth crusader Charlie Sheen. People from as far away as Japan and Australia made the long-haul trip to L.A. to view slick presentations from numerous high profile speakers. Media organizations from Great Britain and Australia were also represented as well as over 100 alternative press outlets. BYU physics professor Steven Jones' authoritative lecture on the use of incendiary devices in the demolition of the trade towers and building 7 went further than ever before in its conclusive tone on the issue. Jones has now tested steel samples from two different sites that both clearly show the use of thermate as a tool of implosion and the analysis has been verified by two other universities. Lt. Col. Robert M. Bowman, the former head of the Star Wars weapons defense system and Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Nuclear Engineering from Cal Tech, also gave a powerful presentation on the NORAD 9/11 stand down which was extremely well received. The highlight for many was the surprise personal appearance of Hollywood star, current TV hit and recent shining addition to the ranks of noted 9/11 whistleblowers Charlie Sheen, who received a rapturous ovation before his speech on the courage of those who went before him in standing up to an unpalatable truth in the name of freedom. The overall sentiment after the conclusion of the conference was that it was the most powerful, informative and progressive 9/11 symposium to date. The conference was a declaration of independence and a warning to the watching media that major western governments are planning more acts of false flag terrorism in order to justify new wars and geopolitical domination of the globe as well as a domestic police state. Reflecting a positive trend embraced by an earlier New York Times article, a Reuters report on the conference mainly sticks to the facts and avoids the scoffing, sneering tone of similar reports about 9/11 events we have seen over the last few years. The Reuters article has mainly been picked up by foreign news outlets. From previous experience we know that newswire gatekeepers, ostensibly operating out of London, selectively sideline sensitive stories and order them not to receive substantive nationwide attention. The Reuters piece has not been picked up by any US or European news outlet thus far. Publications such as Turkey's Zaman Online, South Africa's Independent Online, Qatar's Gulf News as well as Al Jazeera and Iran's Tehran Times all carried different versions of the original Reuters piece. ***** Why Are Men Still Joking About Rape? By Sara K. Gould, AlterNet Posted on June 30, 2006 http://www.alternet.org/story/38334/ If there was ever any question about why women's voices should be mandatory at the top levels of decision making in any field, last week's episode of the F/X drama "Rescue Me" provides an answer that is as unambiguous as it is revolutionary. In an episode that aired early last week, the show's main character, Tommy Gavin (played by series co-creator Denis Leary), rewards his estranged wife's perceived insubordination (that is, talking back) with what, in the eyes of these writers and producers, is understood to be a reasonable male response to acts of female insubordination: He rapes her. And, they would have you believe, she enjoyed it. That we should still be debating, at this place in history, the idea that women either deserve or enjoy being physically attacked and sexually subjugated beggars the imagination. But it is indeed where we are, as events like this -- and others, such as the decision of the dean of students at the University of Nairobi to open a recent talk with a joke about rape -- make clear. So let us be clear in return: Rape is not a joke, nor is it mere fodder for the entertainment media's use. Rape is, in every case, a violation of law, international and domestic; the forceful sexual assault of other human beings without their consent carries criminal penalties because we as a society believe that the right to bodily integrity is more than just a catch phrase. Moreover, as our decades of work on behalf of women have taught us us, women do not, by any measure, "enjoy" being sexually assaulted. Sexual assault crimes are motivated by the need to control, humiliate and harm -- and those are precisely the effects these crimes visit upon their victims when they are enacted. According to current estimates, a woman or girl is sexually assaulted every two minutes in this country. One in three girls will be abused before reaching age 18. Yet 80 percent of all rapes are never reported to the police. The incontrovertible fact is that women already feel disempowered to tell their truths around sexual violence, and by creating a fictional world in which Tommy Gavin can leave the scene of his crime with a grin on his face and without accountability required of him by his community of firefighters, the creators of Rescue Me have, in their own way, done violence to women once again. If we are shocked by the inability of the show's creators to produce anything approaching a realistic view of the effect of rape on women and communities, it might help to remember that of the eleven executives in charge of production (from writers to directors to producers) listed on the show's website, just one -- one -- is a woman. And in the executive suites at the networks -- where the real decisions get made about what makes it onto the air and what doesn't -- a similar lack of female perspective is often at play. Depictions of women like the one FX saw fit to air should certainly anger us, but they should also remind us of why it is so important that women's voices, opinions and knowledge not be excluded from the playing field. Because when they are, as is clearly the case here, it becomes all too easy to perpetuate myths about the female experience that have little to do with the realities of women's lives. Sara K.

This was 1947, a few years after WW II, when the Cyclone roller coaster roared down from the sky, the Wonder Wheel rose in the hot sun and later the great parachute jump spilled its screaming couples 220 feet down to a jolting halt, a few feet from the sprawling boardwalk, the planked wood stretching from the proletarian Brighton Beach to the elegant gated community of Sea Gate. All this life punctuated by disastrous fires and marvelous restoration, shedding its stars, like Durante, Mae West, Sophie Tucker, Eddie Cantor, into America. Between them, Nathan’s hot dog stand grew on Surf Avenue to the mother of all fast food joints, with the greatest hot dogs, French fries, fresh fried seafood, roast beef and hot buttered corn you could imagine on working people’s wages, plus a July 4th hot dog eating contest. Is this America or is it just Brooklyn? Or are they one? Among the arcades and narrow lanes, there were still side shows, freak shows, bearded ladies, the fat lady, the strong man, Siamese twins, midgets, dwarfs, The Fun House, the House of Horror that rivaled even today’s White House. All the elements of entertainment that built an audience for 1955’s July 4th, the biggest crowd ever, 1.5 million people, when America was rolling again, ready to battle its own forces of reaction, the perennial undertow ready to subtly sweep us out over our heads, while the crowds watched from a distant shore and lifeguard whistles rose above the roar to save the drift towards going under, pushing an unseen hand from our heads. And what was our fascination with freaks, the odd, the strange and the weird? Did we see ourselves in them, as in the fun house mirrors, twisted, wide, skinny, tall, the little people, the joined at the hip? Did the strong man at once amaze and frighten us like our politicians? Did we want to hammer the catapult that sent the weight zooming to the gong, measuring our strength against theirs? Was the vast crowd sprawled on the beach and boardwalk America compressed, delivered by the sky-screeching elevated subway cars just as they had been by sailboats and steamers from the four corners of the earth? We had en masse recently defeated a world-hungry enemy, the Nazis the Imperial Japanese, the corporate fascists of Italy. But had we? Would they worm their way back in through NATO, take back Europe like P2 in Italy, attacking the left with their right-wing anti-commie violence? Had they wound their way back into power with the help of the American Elites like the Dulles brothers, Allan and John, the Prescott Bushes, the Fords, the Rockefellers, the Standard Oils, with their right-wing ideologies that created a National Security Council, the non-elected who shaped our foreign policy, its CIA soon to enforce it around the world, overturning one country after another in dark an dirty ops? Would the working of government become as dark and shady as Coney Island during the war years of 43-44, when its lights faded to blue and gray at night, a subterranean underworld, protecting us from air raids and other unseen terrors, at what costs, the lives of presidents, truth-tellers, journalists, men and women who marched to different drummers? Yet those dark nights of the soul passed and the lights came on again, crowds of July 4th celebrants, flaring their fireworks over the dark Atlantic, sighing crowds of returned warriors with their families, ooing and aahing, and even the freaks, the odd, the different, the poets, the queers, finding a place under a smiling moon and the sighs of the four winds, arms about each other. And still among us was that enemy, like a fifth column, smuggled on shore as if from a giant submarine, from the deep of man’s inhumanity to man, where shark ate shark. Yet in a wave of human love came the immigrants still, the brothers and sisters, black, Latino, Asian, shades of all whom fought like so many gangs, right here in Coney Island, before they would embrace in peace and acceptance on the riotous streets. This was the real test of the fire swallower, the strong man, the little people, those opposites of color and creed who loved each other under the boardwalk of skin, stretching as if from one American coast to the other, who mixed their bloods, their strength, their genius. And in their bosom were the Jews, the goats of history, harassed, chased, like the many Poles, Irish, Italian, Russian, German, berated, alienated, clinging to the faith, traditions, dreams of betterment, education, a Constitution of even treatment from pogroms, slums, serfdom, class-wars, the Royals of the world, the party dictators of the Soviet Union, the bought and sold dictators of South and Central America, the Mullahs and Sheiks of the Mid East. And all fled to this common shore, to popcorn, peanuts, cotton candy, the circus of Coney, to the shores of the great Atlantic and Pacific, the barrelhouse piano playing in the background. So, let the amusements begin for those laborers of America. Let the merry-go-rounds turn, the horses climb with their children on their backs. Let the bumper car bang into each other, laughter explode. Let the whirling rides disc in jagged circles. Let the truth be told as it was and is and will be. Read all about it! Let the corrupted be trampled by the pure of heart. Let the park be opened to all. Let the children play in shared waters. After all, this was, this is, this will be the Fourth of July, the Day of Independence and its Declaration. Let the believers that men were not beasts have their hour in the sun. Let the stars fall, shower them with light, brighter even than the dark corners of poverty. Lift the Jew, lift the goat, lift the Arab under a scimitar moon and star. Let us all be safe. There is nothing to fear but fear itself. There is no one to hate but the hater himself. Let young and old be one family, rich and poor, smart and not. Let one hand pull another from the deep to the shore. Let the strong lift the weak and hoist the wounded on their shoulders. Let us be a free people. Let us be people. This is the Celebration of Coney. This is the Fourth of July, birthday of America from these muddied waters, baskets of fluted garbage, endless blanket of human bodies. This is the Coney Island of the Spirit, a child of the lost and found tribes of the world in the heat of time’s summer. Let it bloom like the rose of the world, The Rose of Tralee. Let it shed its iron and concrete shade like a beach umbrella, like a Flatbush oak, the perennial tree that grew in Brooklyn. Let a baseball team rise by these waters, a national pastime to test the metal of men, the loyalty of fans, the faith of mates. Let the Cyclones roar onto the diamond field. Let the poor be housed. Let sand castles rise from the sea like public housing, like projects of Trump and Moses. Let lovers twine their bodies on blankets. Let the masses procreate. These are the Paths to Glory, the unending story of Coney, of Turtle Island, rising from the sea, prodigious as bunnies, a nation on the hardened back of shell, the rich earth of dreamland, a schemeland, a Tea for Two-land, a discovery of Hudson, a totally secular corrupt and holy land. Buy you a beer, friend? Here’s to you! And here’s to you, America, to your best and your worst, you know who you are. And we will find you, elevate one, and bury the other, as always.
