All the President's Nazis (real and imagined): An Open Letter to Bush
Friday, 16 May 2008 12:40

Your speech on the Knesset floor today was not only a disgrace; it was 
nothing short of treachery. Worse still, your exploitation of the 
Holocaust in a country carved out of the wounds of that very crime, in 
order to strike a low blow at American citizens whose politics differs 
from your own is unforgivable and unpardonable.

President Bush's grandfather was a director of a bank seized by the 
federal government because of its ties to a German industrialist who 
helped bankroll Adolf Hitler's rise to power, government documents show.

I cannot think of one Democrat who can boast this kind of lineage. Can 
you? No, I don't think so. But you can lie brazenly and attack a sitting 
US Senator on foreign soil by comparing him to Nazi sympathizers? Let us 
continue down memory lane to help those who applaud you understand just 
what it is they are celebrating.

Grandpa Bush - that is to say, your grandfather - wanted fascism 
imported into the United States, or as you now call this type of 
transformation, "exporting democracy." Prescott went so far as to 
subsidize a coup attempt in order to achieve his dream of a fascist America.

U.S. seeks reports on Americans' foreign bank accounts
Friday, 16 May 2008 10:50

In its hunt for wealthy Americans who have stashed money overseas to 
evade taxes, the U.S. government has turned to an obscure law enacted 
nearly four decades ago.

Under the law, originally aimed at rooting out laundering of drug money, 
citizens or residents of the United States must tell the Internal 
Revenue Service each year if they have any foreign bank or financial 
accounts holding a total of $10,000 or more. Income from the assets is 
taxed at ordinary rates of up 35 percent.

TVNL Comment: The criminal militant arm of the illegal Federal Reserve 
is clamping down! They want their extortion money...no matter where it is!

Biden calls Bush comments 'bulls**t'
Friday, 16 May 2008 10:46

The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Joe Biden, 
D-Delaware, called President Bush’s comments accusing Sen. Barack Obama 
and other Democrats of wanting to appease terrorists "bulls**t” and said 
if the president disagrees so strongly with the idea of talking to Iran 
then he needs to fire his secretaries of State and Defense, both of whom 
Biden said have pushed to sit down with the Iranians.

ISRAEL’S INDEPENDENCE FROM WHOM?
Friday, 16 May 2008 10:43

In 1938, Mahatma Gandhi wrote the following… “Palestine belongs to the 
Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to 
the French…What is going on in Palestine today cannot be justified by 
any moral code of conduct…If they [the Jews] must look to the Palestine 
of geography as their national home, it is wrong to enter it under the 
shadow of the British gun. A religious act cannot be performed with the 
aid of the bayonet or the bomb. They can settle in Palestine only by the 
goodwill of the Arabs…As it is, they are co-sharers with the British in 
despoiling a people who have done no wrong to them. I am not defending 
the Arab excesses. I wish they had chosen the way of non-violence in 
resisting what they rightly regard as an unacceptable encroachment upon 
their country. But according to the accepted canons of right and wrong, 
nothing can be said against the Arab resistance in the face of 
overwhelming odds.”

Afghan death squads 'acting on foreign orders'
Friday, 16 May 2008 00:48

Secret Afghan death squads are acting on the orders of foreign spies and 
killing civilians inside Afghanistan with impunity, a senior UN envoy 
has claimed. Professor Philip Alston, the UN special rapporteur on 
illegal killings, said "foreign intelligence agencies" had used illegal 
groups of heavily armed Afghans in raids against suspected insurgents.

He said the attacks were beyond the legitimate military chains of 
command, and they were "completely unacceptable" and "outside the law".

'We have to kill Tutsis wherever they are'
Friday, 16 May 2008 00:37

Hundreds of thousands of people were massacred during the genocide of 
1994 in Rwanda. Now, in the crucible of the ensuing war in neighbouring

to the mother country.
