1. Here’s the “live” feed which at the moment is feature al-Jazeerah English commentary on the Israeli soldiers storming one of the boats, the Turkish passenger ship MAVI MARMARA, and killing ten people according to the latest reports. Israel engaged in an act of piracy by storming the ship and an act of murder by killing people on board. No doubt the Israelis will come up with all sorts of lies claiming the passengers are terrorists and fired weapons at them (which they would have every right to do to stop Israel from storming their ships, but which they probably did not do – we’ll see as more info becomes available), they’ll probably claim that the flotilla used “weapons of mass destruction.” Any claim the Israelis make, no matter how ridiculous will be repeated as fact by the zionist-controlled US media. You’ll need to go to international sites to find what the hell is going on.
Here’s a report from the Free Gaza site. It claims that at the time of the report two people had been killed and 31 wounded. An excerpt is below:
(Cyprus, June 1, 2010, 6:30 am) Under darkness of night, Israeli commandoes dropped from a helicopter onto the Turkish passenger ship, Mavi Marmara, and began to shoot the moment their feet hit the deck.They fired directly into the crowd of civilians asleep. According to the live video from the ship, two have been killed, and 31 injured. Al Jazeera has just confirmed the numbers.
Streaming video shows the Israeli soldiers shooting at civilians, and our last SPOT beacon said, “HELP, we are being contacted by the Israelis.”
This report from al-Jazeera English, which seems to be more recent says 16 people have been killed by the Israelis.
And this Arabic-language report by al-Jazeera says not only that sixteen have been killed but that the Israelis used “hundreds” of troops supported from the air “attacked the flotilla’s ships simultaneously using bullets and gas.”
The Turks are really pissed off. We’ll see if they act like a bunch of pussies the way the US government ALWAYS does when it comes to standing up to Israel’s crimes against humanity.
USS LIBERTY survivors would not be surprised by any of this.
Freegaza also reports that two of the ships in the Flotilla that belong to Freegaza, are US-flagged vessels . It will be interesting to see what happens if either of those ships are taken over by the Israelis. Prediction: nothing. Well, actually if the Israelis kill people on those ships and in general create mayhem, the US government will cover it up, just like it did with the USS LIBERTY.
1. The quote in the title headline is from the video below featuring Huwaida Arraf, an American-born Christian woman of Palestinian heritage married to a Jew, Adam Shapiro, the head of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM). Rachel Corrie was with the ISM when she was murdered. Ms. Arraf is talking about the Freedom Flotilla, a group of ships heading to Gaza to break the illegal Israeli blockade of Gaza’s shore. In addition, the Flotilla is not just carrying “humanitarian aid” – you know, shitty food that Jews occupying Palestine wouldn’t eat themselves, they are carrying construction materials so that Gaza can rebuild itself after the terrorist murderous Israeli invasion of Gaza about a year and a half ago. Said invasion being a series of war crimes against the Palestinian people that was bravely supported by both houses of the Congress of the United States of America, a fact which all decent Americans are utterly ashamed of.
Here is Ms. Arraf talking about the Flotilla. There is no question in my mind that the Israelis are far more afraid of people like Huwaida Arraf and the 750 or so good folks on board the Freedom Flotilla than they have ever been of suicide bombers.
As proof of my point go here to read about all the military and propaganda preparations the Israelis are taking to block the Flotilla. They also intend to detain ALL of the passengers on ALL of the ships and take them to Ashdod, put them in tents, “process” them and deport them.
2. Regular readers of this blog are aware that Israel is not just run by people who are out and out racists, war criminals, crooks, and just plain assholes, they also know that lots of Israel’s ruling class is composed of people who are insane. Evidence for this abounds. Here is what Israeli Foreign Minister Asshole Avigdor Lieberman has to say about the Flotilla and the situation in Gaza.
First of all, he tells us that “”the flotilla is an attempt at violent propaganda against Israel, and Israel will not allow a violation of its sovereignty at sea, in the air, or on land.”
Now ladies and gentlemen, I submit to you that the above quote is nothing but pure 100% unadulterated totally kosher Zionist Bullshit. I love how unarmed ships carrying aid to one of the most wretched places on earth is “violent” propaganda. But again, Israel has a long record of attacking defenseless ships. Just ask Gaza fishermen. You could also ask Phil Tourney. But I digress.
And what is this Zionist Bullshit about the ships violating Israel’s sovereignty? That’s because in the minds of Israeli leaders (and many of its rank and file citizens), Gaza and the West Bank are part of Israel. They know the peace process is just more Zionist Bullshit, as I have documented on this blog.
Lieberman goes on:
“There is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and despite the Hamas leadership’s war crimes and rocket fire, Israel is conducting itself in the most humanitarian manner, and is allowing the entrance of thousands of tons of food and equipment to Gaza.”
I have an idea, let’s take one of the hundreds of illegal Israeli settlements, for example the illegal Israeli settlement in the West Bank called Nokdim where Lieberman lives, and let’s surround it with the US military and block the entry of goods into the settlement, not let any of the residents leave the settlement, bomb the shit out of the settlement, reduce the standard of living in the settlement to that of the Gaza strip, and if the Israelis send an unarmed caravan of trucks with construction equipment, medical supplies and food and in Gandi-like fashion attempt to deliver these things peacefully to the extremist wackos who live in the settlement, let’s have the US military arrest them and treat them like they treat prisoners at Bagram or Guantanamo Bay. Oh, and let’s take one of the peaceful protesters and run over her a couple of times with a bulldozer.
Oh, sorry, I forgot. The US military is a tool to be used by Israel to fight Israel’s wars. In fact, the US military won’t even defend US military ships if they are attacked by Israel, so why expect them to ever do a fucking thing to protect the real interests of the people of the United States? Can’t believe I forgot this. I must be reading too much Zionist Bullshit. Need to cancel that subscription to Inforwars.com. But I digress.
Now as I said above, the Israelis are far more afraid of articulate peace loving people like Huwaida Arraf and Adam Shapiro than they are of suicide bombers. This is because Israel only understands violence – violence is something they can deal with – something which they in fact enjoy. What Israel cannot deal with are people who courageously and peacefully stand up to its endless crimes against humanity, in part because the Israeli psyche, as Lieberman’s entire life demonstrates, is incapable of understanding motivations not rooted in a zero-sum game where aggression, killing and theft are standard operating procedure. When Lieberman says that “there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza” he means it. He can’t see it – he is completely incapable of empathy. We are dealing with a nation where sociopaths run the show.
3. To see a live feed from the Freedom Flotilla, go here. The feed is not always live, as I write this the feed is showing a Turkish music video with political overtones. A few minutes ago the feed had a diminutive Turkish woman speaking from of the ships. If readers find other feeds, please post the links in the comments and I’ll put them in the main body of this post.
Israel intends to bring an end to that live feed and to secretly arrest the people on the ships as this report from Ynet makes clear.
“The Israel Defense Forces said they would block access to the live footage as the ships near the shores of Gaza, meaning a takeover of the ships will be done secretly.”
4. Did I mention something about illegal Israeli settlements? How about the psycho-filled Israeli settlement called “Kiryat Arba” (Hebrew for “crazy motherfuckers”) which sits next to the major Palestinian city of al-Khalil in the West Bank. [Shas Party members know al-Khalil as Hebron]. Kiryat Arba was home to the American-born Zionist Jew mass murderer Baruch Goldstein who was allowed in 1994 by the Israeli military, to enter al-Khalil’s major shrine, go into the part of the shrine that is a mosque where dozens of unarmed Palestinians were praying, and calmly to begin spraying the room with machine gun fire, managing to kill 29 Palestinians before the Palestinians overcame him and killed him. Now that shrine is surrounded by Israeli military, why didn’t they do anything to stop it once the shooting started? Because the Israeli military is under orders not to shoot at any Jew. So Goldstein knew he’d be safe from them. It does appear that some of the Israeli soldiers did fire some shots, but it seems that they were firing at the Palestinians too.
This was done on the major Jewish holiday of Purim, by the way. A holiday that celebrates the murder of about 75,000 Persians. Ian Lustick noted regarding Goldstein’s murderous rampage that “by mowing down Arabs he believed wanted to kill Jews, Goldstein was reenacting part of the Purim story”. It’s all right there on the Islamofascist run Wikipedia. Go read about Goldstein before the Wiki editors change the story. Btw, if you ever go to Kiryat Arba, be sure to stop and pray at Goldstein’s grave there, just like many Jewish extremists do.
Anyway, I’ve been digressing. What I had wanted to note is that the crazies in Kiryat Arba have gone on yet another rampage – as they often do – against the residents of al-Khalil and have set fire to a bunch of their shops and homes. This kind of thing happens a lot in al-Khalil. But Lieberman says that the “Freedom Flotilla” is “violent.”
5. I wonder if, when the Israelis arrest the “violent” people on the Freedom Flotilla, they will abuse them like they do Palestinian children when they arrest them? The Palestinian Telegraph reports:
“According to a report published by Israeli newspaper Haaretz on Friday, that the Israeli army harasses Palestinian children that they detain and put in israeli jails and alongside with the Israeli police they threat[en] those children with sexual assault. The report was based on statements the newspaper took last year by the Palestinian children of the branch of the Palestinian global movement to Defend the child immediately after their release.”
This is interesting:
“The report pointed out that 69% of children who were arrested said that they had been beaten, and 97% were held handcuffed for long periods, and 96% were detained, blindfolded, in addition to deprivation of water and being insulted.”
What is with the Israeli Genocide Forces (the IGF)? Are they a bunch of Neanderthals?
6. Here’s a video of Israelis practicing their sharpshooting skills in April of this year. Go to about 1:40 of the video, if you are impatient. Also the last half of the video features a young Maltese woman speaking English. Her name is Bianca Zimmit. I’m telling you, people like Huwaida Arraf, Adam Shapiro and Bianca Zimmit scare the hell out of the Israelis. That’s why they shot Ms. Zimmit.
7. Now’s let really scare the shit out of the Israelis. Here is the very scary looking Nabil Mansour in two videos. In the first one, he talks about the siege of Gaza. It’s short and worth watching. No doubt Lieberman is shaking in his boots.
In this video Nabil Mansour sings for Palestine. And this young man can sing.
1. A remarkable thing is happening – a thing of beauty and courage. In the same waters where the air and naval forces of the criminal state of Israel murdered thirty-four US sailors and wounded over 170 more – and nearly 43 years to the date of that fateful attack – nine ships forming what is called “The Freedom Flotilla” are well on their way to heading to Gaza to break the Israeli blockade. Five of the ships have left from Greece, three from Anatalya. These eight will hook up with a ninth vessel, the MV RACHEL CORRIE, which recently left from Ireland.
Israel is threatening to “confront” the flotilla.You know what that means. In fact the IGF (Israeli Genocidal Force) is already engaged in electronic warfare against the vessels including jamming their maritime transmissions. Greta Berlin, of the Free Gaza Movement, one of the groups sponsoring the flotilla – reports:
“They have turned off our satellite phones. They have blocked our transmissions,” Berlin said. “We have live stream videos and we will continue to broadcast as long as we can. As long as it is on live and the signal suddenly goes out, then I think the world clearly knows what is happening and what Israel is doing.”
No doubt all the Islamofascists who run the American media will be covering the events closely.
Fortunately brave Senator Mark Dearey has come out demanding that Israel “treat our passengers and cargo with respect.” Wow! Hey goys and girls, that’s pretty exciting to hear from a Senator – especially after our having learned what a complete Israeli suck-up and ass-kisser Rand Paul is. I’d vote for the devil before I’d give that cretin a campaign contribution. May he get his ass kicked from here to Herziliya. But I digress.
Yes in indeed. Senator Mark Dearey has come out guns-a-blazing, in support of the RACHEL CORRIE and her sister ships. Goys and girls!!! We need to keep this man in office. Don’t send a penny to Rand Paulberg – no, send it to Senator Mark Dearey. In fact, as a public service, the tuyuur here at Mantiq al-Tayr have done some research so you can contact this Senator and send him some worthless Federal Reserve notes.
Oh, and for all you folks living the the Cardin State (for new readers and Shas Party members, the Cardin State is named after the Islamofascist Cardin family which wields lots of power in the state. Non-readers of Mantiq al-Tayr know this state as Maryland.) Senator Dearey just loves Dundalk, describing it as “the only thing that matters.”
Anyway here are some links to Senator Mark Dearey. Let him know you support him. Here’s a nice bio of him that includes phone numbers. Go here and you can get an email sent to you every time Senator Mark Dearey speaks. His love for Dundalk is most evident here. For the Mantiqiyyat, nice photos of Senator Mark Dearey can be found here.
You know, I was going to end part 1 of this post right here and start item 2. But according to the highly detailed stats we are getting regarding hits to this site (we have a much better tool that the thingy that comes with WordPress, it’s our latest invention here at Mantiq al-Tayr and it’s called the Tayronator) we are getting tons and tons of hits from both Shas Party members and Infowars subscribers, so after much consultation we’ve decided to explain the joke. Senator Mark Dearey is an Irish politician, not an American one. That’s why he doesn’t have to kiss AIPAC’s ass every day of the week and twice on Saturday. No US Senator is going to speak up for the Freedom Flotilla, even if the Israelis go out there a sink every single ship and kill everyone on board, including no doubt, a bunch of Americans. In fact, if Israel were to go out there and attack those ships, the disgusting assholes who do not represent you in the House or the Senate would probably write a letter to the Israeli Vice President for American Affairs (IVPFAA) Barak Obama, denouncing the Flotilla and praising Israel’s tolerance – as usual.
2. Now we can finally get to item 2. This is our modest proposal to IVPFAA Obama. Dear Mr. Vice-President Obama, let’s face it, it’s over for you. You have about as much chance of being re-elected as Mark Glenn does of becoming the head of Elie “the fraud” Wiesel’s foundation for Zionist Bullshit. Thanks to you and your failed policies – and yes they are now your policies – the United States is hated around the world more than ever. Your Nobel Piss Prize isn’t worth the royalties on Larry Sinclair’s book. The Israelis hate you, the Muslims hate you, many of your former supporters hate you, the Europeans hate you and I bet even Rahm Emmanuel hates you.
However, here is something you can do about this. You should immediately send whatever US Navy warships are in the region to sail alongside the “Freedom Flotilla”, and make sure one of the meanest looking vessels sails right along side the MV RACHEL CORRIE. You should make your orders public immediately and you should state that any effort by Israel to hinder any of the “Freedom Flotilla” ships, by any means whatsoever, “will be considered an act of war against the United States and will be dealt with by any means necessary.” And if the Israelis try to ram one of those ships, have our Navy sink the the Israeli ship. And if the Israelis do anything else, blow them out of the sky and shell the shit out of their shores.
In one fell swoop, the entire world’s attitude towards the United States will change. You will also have pulled the rug out from under al-Qa’ida and whoever it is that supports it. You will become a hero to the American people for generations to come.
You will never be re-elected, but that’s not happening anyway. But you will go down in history as the man who maybe, just maybe, led the way to the rebuilding of the United States of America.
Bring it on.
3. Here are some links about the Freedom Flotilla.
An excellent overview of the flotilla and the Israeli Navy’s dilemma.
4. Yes, it’s video time. Since we were talking about Dundalk (Ireland and Maryland), who could be better to listen to than the Corrs who are from Dundalk? (You’ll have to guess which one. For Shas Party Members here is a hint, they are from the Dundalk that is in Ireland.) The Corrs have no association with Mantiq al-Tayr, neither does Rod Stewart. But don’t you wish you knew what you know now when you were younger? Ooh la la.
Actually I can think of something even better. But that’s for our next post.
However, confidence is high that some of the Corrs musicians will pass the Freeman test.
At 1:45 pm on June 8, 1967, 20 year-old Petty Officer 3rd Class Phillip Francis Tourney was just one of 294 mostly ordinary men on board the USS LIBERTY which was sailing all alone about twelve and one-half miles off the coast of the Sinai Peninsula. Tourney had just finished a horrible drill during which he nearly passed out from having to wear a hot and heavy “impregnated” suit as he practiced washing, in this case imaginary, chemicals from on board his ship. Just another grunt with a six-grade education on a boat far from home in a part of the world he knew nothing about. By 4:00 pm that same afternoon, Phillip Francis Tourney had become a real-life war hero whose courage under fire for close to two hours would lead to his receiving a Bronze Star With V for Valor and a Purple Heart. His life and the lives of the entire crew of his ship were changed forever, changed in ways none of them could possibly have known at 4:00 pm, June 8, 1967. His book removes the veil and allows us to see what happened to these men and why that day should always be remembered.
There were many heroes on board that ship that dreadful afternoon. What I Saw That Day is a first-hand account by one of them that is dedicated to Tourney’s shipmates, most especially the thirty four who were killed as a result of two hours of relentless assault by the air and naval forces of the state of Israel. Tourney, like virtually all of the crew, firmly believes that this assault was not only deliberate but that it was premeditated, conducted with malice aforethought. Read this gripping first-hand account and you will learn why.
This son of a full-blooded Cherokee mother and working class father had grown up believing that serving in the United States Navy was to be his destiny. When Tourney was at the tender age of 17 his father took him to the recruiting station so he could enlist. Tourney ended up in Damage Control aboard the LIBERTY and his job was to make sure his ship was secure and seaworthy at all times. What Tourney did not know at 1:45 pm on that fateful day was that he would be performing damage control in one way or another for the next 43 years.
What I Saw is not just a thrilling war story, which indeed it is, but it is something much more – something that the other fine books about Israel’s attack on the LIBERTY did not, could not, quite become. Tourney’s book is, and this may come as a surprise to many, in essence very much a “chick” book in that it is ultimately about relationships: relationships between men on a sinking ship, between officers and enlisted men, between countries, between men and their country, and relationships between these men and their families and with one another throughout the now almost 43-year aftermath of that terrible day.
It is also a story of betrayal. The betrayal is so shocking that even those who are extremely well versed in the USS LIBERTY story will be moved to outrage – and they should be. Tourney recounts betrayal after betrayal after betrayal of himself and his shipmates by not just the US government and its officials, civilian and military, which happened repeatedly for decades, but even by individuals who shared his fate on that awful day. You will gasp as you learn of each one.
It is also a story of redemption – Tourney’s for sure – but also of the likes of Captain Ward Boston who at the end of his life acknowledged what he had done to those ordinary men turned heroes who were on board that ship when it was attacked.
Tourney gives wonderful vignettes that are unforgettable. One is of “Doc” Richard Kiepfer – also immortalized in James Scott’s “The Attack on the USS LIBERTY.” Doc Kiepfer is indeed a true American hero. Tourney believes he deserved the Congressional Medal of Honor. Read this book to find out why this incredible man, the only doctor on board the entire ship, had even less morphine than he should have had to administer to the wounded and the dying during and after the assault.
Of the men in the ship’s boiler room, the most dangerous place in the ship to be when under torpedo attack, Tourney writes:
I sat and stared at them in awe. I knew that none of them, not even one, had abandoned their stations the whole time the ship was under attack. I learned later that during the worst part of the assault, Lt. Golden, fearing for the safety of his men, ordered everyone in the area to evacuate. Despite being given a direct order to leave the spaces, Benjamin Ash, a fireman, refused to obey and remained. In the boiler room one deck below, the other firemen had either not received the orders to evacuate or else had simply disregarded them as well. Knowing they were face to face with death and could be killed at any second, nevertheless they had continued their duties without consideration for the danger their own lives were in.
Tourney gives us their names, and makes a request of his readers:
The world owes a debt to these men it can never repay, and yet to this day these men have received nothing – officially or otherwise – for their bravery and their sacrifice.
I ask the reader to memorize the names of these men and always pay them the respect they deserve when recounting this story to others:
-Lt. George Golden
-Chief Richard Brooks
-Fireman Benjamin Ash
-Petty Officer Gene Owens
-Petty Officer Gary W. Brummett
-Petty Officer JP Newell
-Damage Controlman James Smith
-Petty Officer Robert C. Kidd
-Ensign Malcom Watson
-Petty Officer Rick Aimetti
-Albert Brammelsburg
-Steven J. Krasnasky
-Richard Munford
-Jim Kelly
Tourney manages somehow to downplay his own courageous role throughout this attack, but there is one vignette of himself that he gives at the end of his account of the assault that will forever stay in my mind. I will not reveal it here.
But I will take a moment to mention another hero. This one was never a sailor, was never aboard the USS LIBERTY, was never shot at. Lisa Tourney, Phillip Tourney’s second wife, whom he married years after the events that gave Tourney a permanent case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD]. This woman, in my estimation, made it possible for Tourney to do so much of the work he has done on the issue of the USS LIBERTY for the past decades. No doubt this book does not quite tell you everything that she has done and endured, but it tells you enough.
There are a host of other good and bad souls to whom Tourney will introduce you as he recounts the stories of betrayal alluded to above. One of the most humorous and most important is the story of “the nerdy guy with glasses.”
What I Saw is a book of thirty chapters. The first four deal with the attack itself, the other 26 deal with the aftermath. The first four chapters are so gripping you will not be able to put the book down.
But the greatest fact about “What I Saw That Day” is that the other 26 are equally gripping – spanning the time between 4:00 pm June 8th, 1967 to the year 2009. Surprise after surprise appears the more deeply one reads into the book. The final chapter will make you . . . well you will see. This book would make a great movie.
I’ve mentioned some of the heroes you’ll read about. But there is a host of villains too and Tourney wrote this book to name names. And he does. Some people are going to be squirming.
You will also see Tourney’s first marriage crumble to pieces and how hard he had to work to put his life back together, how he became reunited with his shipmates and became a leader among them.
Oh, and if you are thinking of enlisting in the United States Navy, when you find out what the United States Navy did to Phillip Francis Tourney, you may change your mind.
What I Saw also recounts the efforts over decades by USS LIBERTY survivors to not let what happened to them be forgotten as well as their efforts to demand a true investigation into the reasons for what happened. No true investigation has ever taken place and that is because the perpetrator of the attack was the holy state of Israel – a country with a death grip on the throats of virtually all US politicians. Tourney has had it with this situation and his book documents his heroic efforts to never let this country forget what happened on June 8, 1967. I believe that thanks to his book, more so than to any of the others written about the event, the USS LIBERTY will not only be forever remembered, but also that many Americans who have never heard of that ill-fated ship will learn of the USS LIBERTY story and the relevance of that story to certain critical world events happening today; and when they do, they will be pissed.
Fine accounts of the USS LIBERTY attack have been done by James Ennes, James Scott, John Edgar Borne and Peter Hounam. James Bamford also included a powerful chapter of the LIBERTY in one of his books. Plus the BBC documentary based on Hounam’s book is very informative and free on the Internet. LIBERTY buffs should study them all, many have.
But if you are going to read just one book on the USS LIBERTY, What I Saw That Day is the one to read.
By 4:00 pm on June 8th, 1967, the USS LIBERTY was lying virtually dead in the water and listing badly. 34 men were dead or about to be, over 170 others wounded. The ship had a huge torpedo hole near its boiler room, hundreds if not thousands of rocket and bullet holes, blood was everywhere, so was the napalm the Israelis used. No help from the United States would arrive for at least 16 hours. In fact, twice planes that had been sent from the Sixth Fleet had already been called back. USS LIBERTY Captain William McGonagle, who earned the Congressional Medal of Honor, tried to move his crippled ship into deeper waters in case it were to sink so that classified equipment and information would be harder to find.
James Scott reported in his book that there was actual discussion in Washington DC of not coming to the LIBERTY to save it, but to sink it – apparently with the men on board, by the way.
4:00 pm, on June 8th, 1967, just a few miles off the shores of Israel, but 500 miles removed from the Sixth Fleet, the bloody, battered, but unsinkable USS LIBERTY and its crew, both dead and alive, stood on the waters of the Mediterranean defiantly flying the flag of the United States of America. Israel’s reach had exceeded its grasp. And thanks to men like Phillip Francis Tourney, the USS LIBERTY remained a ship too far.
1. Hello goys and girls, are you feeling good today? Are you in a good mood cause you are reading this on the weekend before going out to some honkey tonk somewhere and looking for sex with complete strangers? Maybe you are in a good mood because you are not sitting in the middle of Afghanistan dodging IED’s and bullets? Or maybe you are in a good mood because you are not living under Israeli occupation in Gaza while Israeli snipers take pot shots at you and your children wearing those nice, no doubt ADL-approved t-shirts celebrating the joy of murdering Palestinians? Maybe you have tickets to some sports game where all the players are multi-millionaires and who, when push comes to shove, have no respect for you whatsoever? Maybe you are in a good mood because you’ve taken all your money out of Swiss banks and deposited them in Israeli banks where the new law against hiding money in Swiss banks does not apply and so the Israeli Revenue Service [thanks for that one goes to Rick Adams] can’t get at them?
Well, for whatever reason you may be in a good mood dear Mantiqiyyiin and Mantiqiyyaat, all of the tuyuur here at Mantiq al-Tayr have made it our goal today to ruin it. By the time you are done reading today’s blog if you are not totally enraged, embittered, aggravated, irritated, angered, pissed off, incensed, infuriated, livid and just plain madder than a beautiful prostitute who has just found out that her “john” for the evening is Abe Foxman, then you are either as brain dead as a follower of Big Fat John Hagee or you are smoking something that you really do need to tell the rest of us about.
Oh, and one more thing. If you laugh at anything in today’s blog, then you are a bad person.
Let’s get ready to rumble, tumble, and piss off the worshipers of Zion, the Synagogue of Satan, all of the Judas Goats.
2. Last week we discussed these two bozos having lunch. They so seem to enjoy each others company, don’t they?
Who are those guys?
In a way, it truly would be fitting if these two dudes were in fact asshole-buddies from way back, because they both have something in common, well maybe more than one thing, but I want to point out the more interesting thing that they have in common, we really don’t know what their real names are or where they were born.
Now Obama’s limbo status is widely written about and commented on, some of that stuff I find interesting and some of it, like the crap that Oiley Taitz puts out – she’s sort of the Alan Derwoshitz of the birther movement, isn’t worth getting into.
But I’d like to bring to light some great research done on the holocaust carpetbagger known as Elie Wiesel [and it is pronounced "Weasel" I am not making this up. I mean, if I stole someone's identify it wouldn't be someone named "skunk" or "weasel" or "pig". I think I'd prefer "Fred Eclectus" or something like that. But I digress.]
Anyway, it may well be that Elie Wiesel is not who he says he is and he may also be a plagiarist and he is almost certainly a liar. This is all in addition to the fact that he is a Palestinian-hating bigot. No doubt all of these fine attributes contributed to his getting the Nobel Prize for Peace – very possibly the most disgusting award ever created. Oh, Obama got one of those too. Proves my point. But again, I digress.
An alert reader of this site posted a link to an article by a Carlo Mattogno, whom we had never heard of. So, as we often do when readers post links in comments, we went to the link and actually read it. If Mr. Mattogno is correct, then Elie Wiesel has stolen the identity of a person named Lazar Wiesel, a man who really was at Auschwitz. In addition, if Mr. Mottogno’s research is correct then Wiesel may never have been in a concentration himself at all – at least it would seem quite possible that he was not. Also, if Mr. Mattogno’s research is in the right direction, it may very well be that the piece of shit book called “Night” that Wiesel “wrote”, and which sold 10 million copies, is not only full of misrepresentations and lies, but it may also have been, at least in part, stolen from the work of the man whose identity Wiesel may have stolen. [Those of you who right now are thinking, "gee, did Bill Ayers write Obama's stuff" are definitely on the right frequency here.]
Mr. Mattogno’s research can be found right here. Go read it. I will just note below one of the (many) interesting things that Mr. Mattogno has brought up in his paper.
Mr. Mattogno first tells us the story of a man named Miklos Gruner who, at the age of 15, was a prisoner at Auschwitz. He quotes from an English translation of an article in a Hungarian newspaper entitled “Auschwitz Survivor Claims Elie Wiesel is an Imposter.” According to this article, Miklos Gruner ended up alone at the camp and then “two elder Jewish inmates who were also Hungarians and friends with his late father took him under their protection. These two protectors of the young Miklos were the Lazar and Abraham Wiesel brothers.”
Here is where it starts to get very interesting. Again, for Shas Party members, the red highlights are mine.
In the following months, Miklos Gruner and the Wiesel brothers became good friends. Lazar Wiesel was 31 years old in 1944. Miklos never forgot the number Lazar was tattooed with by the Nazis: A-7713. In January 1945, as the Russian army was coming, the inmates were transferred to Buchenwald. During the ten days this transfer took, partly by foot, partly by train, more than half of the inmates died and amongst them was Abraham, the elder brother of Lazar Wiesel. In April 8, 1945, the US army liberated Buchenwald. Miklos and Lazar were amongst the survivors of the camp. As Miklos had tuberculosis, he was sent in a Swiss clinic and therefore was separated from Lazar. After recovering, Miklos emigrated to Australia while his elder brother, who also survived the war, established himself in Sweden.
So, Miklos and Lazar (who was 31 years old at the time and had A-7713 tattooed on his arm) were separated after the camp was liberated. About 40 years later they were reunited, er – sort of. This is pretty damn interesting. Read on and enjoy.
Years later, in 1986, Miklos was contacted by the Swedish journal Sydsvenska Dagbladet in Malmo and invited to meet “an old friend” named Elie Wiesel… As Miklos answered that he doesn`t know anyone with this name, he was told Elie Wiesel was the same person Miklos knew in the Nazi camps under the name Lazar Wiesel and with the inmate number A-7713… Miklos still remembered that number and he was therefore convinced at that point that he was going to meet his old friend Lazar and happily accepted the invitation to meet him at the Savoj Hotel in Stockholm on December 14, 1986. Miklos recalls:
So, Elie Wiesel and Miklos Gruner, having seen only through a glass darkly for 40 years, now come face to face on December 14, 1986, a day that shall live in infamy. [Oh wait, that day was actually June 8, 1967 when Israel deliberately and with malice of forethought attacked and tried to sink the USS Liberty, but I digress. Oh, btw, soon a new and great book about the murder of 34 US sailors and the wounding of over 170 others will be available. It will knock your socks off. You will be able to read about it here as soon as it is available. But yet again, I digress.]
And here’s what happened when the light was shone on “Elie Wiesel’s” face.
“I was very happy at the idea of meeting Lazar but when I confronted the so-called ‘Elie Wiesel’, I was stunned to see a man I didn`t recognize at all, who didn`t even speak Hungarian or Yiddish and instead he was speaking English in a strong French accent. Therefore our meeting was over in about ten minutes.As a goodbye gift, the man gave me his book entitled ‘Night’ of which he claimed to be the author. I accepted the book I didn`t know at that time but told everyone there that this man was not the person he pretended to be!”
Well, hell what about that tattoo on his arm, the A-7713 number. I mean, if “Elie Wiesel” had that number on his arm everything about him be kosher, right?Turns out “Elie Wiesel” is a little shy.
Miklos recalls that during this strange meeting, Elie Wiesel refused to show him the tattooed number on his arm, saying he didn`t want to exhibit his body. Miklos adds that Elie Wiesel showed his tattooed number afterward to an Israeli journalist who Miklos met and this journalist told Miklos that he didn`t have time to identify the number but… was certain it wasn`t a tattoo. Miklos says:
“After that meeting with Elie Wiesel, I spent twenty years of research and found out that the man calling himself Elie Wiesel has never been in a Nazi concentration camp since he was not included in any official list of detainees”.
Hey birther people, when you hold your big march in September asking the Israeli Vice President for American Affairs [IVPFAA] Barack Obama for his birth certificate, also ask “Elie Wiesel” to show his tattoo. But again, I digress.
So this interesting little story got Mr. Mattogno, well, interested. So he did something unbelievably shocking, horrifying, and no doubt damnable. He did some research. Here is just one small, but “very interesting” piece of it.
He found Miklos Gruner’s registration card at Buchenwald. He also found the card for Lazar Wiesel. Mr. Mattogno writes:
However, the key person here is Lázár Wiesel. Fortunately, the file card concerning his stay at the Buchenwald camp also exists and allows us to verify Miklós Grüner’s assertions. This file card [6], has in its upper left hand corner the handwritten entry “Ung. Jude” (Hungarian Jew), in the center, “Ausch. A 7713”, i.e. “Auschwitz A-7713”, the former Auschwitz ID number, and, on the right, “Gef.-Nr.:123565”, (Detainee number 123565, the new Buchenwald ID number). This detainee was born on 4 September 1913 (Lázár Wiesel’s year of birth according to Miklós Grüner) at Maromarossziget and was the son of Szalamo Wiesel, who was at Buchenwald, and of Serena Wiesel née Feig, interned at KL Auschwitz. The stamp “26.1.45 KL. Auschwitz” indicates that Lázár Wiesel was registered at Buchenwald on 26 January 1945 coming from Auschwitz.
Here is the registration card, taken right from Mr. Mattogno’s article.
For Shas Party members, let me summarize this:
Lazar Wiesel was born on September 13, 1913. [If he were alive today, he would be 96 years old.] The town of his birth is Maromarossziget, which is also called Sighet, and which is in what is today Romania. His father was Szalamo [the same as the name "Shlomo"] Wiesel and his mother was Serena Feig. Lazar Wiesel’s Auschwitz detainee number was A-7713. It also appears that Lazar spoke Hungarian and Yiddish. According to Gruner, “Elie Wiesel” did not.
Let’s compare the above info, just as Mr. Mattogno does in his article, with Elie Wiesel’s biographical info which you can also find on “Elie Wiesel’s” wiki page.
“Elie Wiesel” claims to have been born on September 30th, 1928 in Sighet (the same place as Maromarossziget, mentioned above. He says his father was Shlomo Wiesel and his mother was Sarah Feig. He also claims that he bears the tattoo of A-7713 from Auschwitz.
Mr. Mattogno’s conclusion is:
“Miklós Grüner is perfectly right: Elie Wiesel has taken on Lázár Wiesel’s identity.”
Mr. Mattogno’s article covers many more things about this creature known today as “Elie Wiesel” including what a bunch of bullshit the book “Night” is.
3. There’s so much more about “Elie Wiesel” that I’d like to cover and plan to in the future. I do want to thank the reader using the name “tvlies” who provided the link to the article discussed above. TVlies also made a funny video about the story that you can find here. I also want to point out, and again this is in part due to “tvlies” letting me know about some of this, that Carolyn Yeager is another person who follows “Elie Wiesel” closely. She even announces “Elie Wiesel’s” upcoming speaking engagements so people can go to them in order to protest. According to Ms. Yeager, the next two “Elie Wiesel” speaking engagements are:
A - LEHIGH UNIVERSITY, BETHLEHEM, PENNSYLVANIA Eliezer ”Elie” Wiesel will deliver the address at Lehigh University’s 142nd commencement ceremony on May 24.
[Comment from Mantiq: I think PA is the perfect place for "Elie Wiesel" to speak. It is the state of single bullet theory zionist Arlen Spector and the state from which Israel stole nuclear weapons-grade uranium. But I digress.]
and
7713 – [And this one is truly "bring your own barf-bag material"] BETH TZEDEC SYNAGOGUE, TORONTO, CANADA Monday, May 31, Elie Wiesel and Salman Rushdie in an open forum moderated by former Prime MinisterBrian Mulroney. The Sprit of Hope Benefit is hosted by Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for HolocaustStudies; dinner begins at 5 pm, followed by main presentation at 7:30. Tickets cost $200.00 to $3600.00.Synagogue is at 1700 Bathurst St. (south of Eglinton Avenue) Latest: Tickets are sold out. Remember all money goes to benefit the Simon Wiesenthal Centerfor Holocaust Studies.
There is also no doubt that Ms. Yeager has a little bit of Mantiqiyyan in her. This is really kind of funny. She’s sponsoring a “Find Elie Wiesel’s Tattoo” contest. You can read it about it on her website.
Also, go here to listen to her talk at length about Mr. Mattogno’s article. Great listening while taking a walk.
4. It’s video time. In honor of “Elie Wiesel” here is the Israeli National Anthem, translated no doubt by “Elie Wiesel”. Anyone who laughs at the Israeli National Anthem is a bad person.
1. All of us here at Mantiq al-Tayr wish to convey our deepest condolences to Israeli Vice-President for American Affairs (IVPFAA) Barack Barry Hussein Sotero Obama. Yes, we admit we have been pretty hard on this identity-challenged accomplishmentless C student at Occidental College for being a Wall-Street Slut (WSS) and a one-man front company for JAIPAC Street, but what the IVPFAA had to do this past week would give even the coldest, meanest, most blood-thirsty American-born Israeli soldier/Palestinian child-killer post traumatic stress disorder. In fact, we have dispatched a winged psychiatrist to Washington, District of the Cabalah, to keep an eye on poor Barack, lest he become so imbalanced by the trauma he has endured that he’d do something utterly insane, like nuke Iran.
Poor little Baruch had to do something this past week that no Constitutionally qualified or even unqualified IVPFAA should ever have to do – in fact it was something should never happen to anyone – save maybe Hitler, Stalin, Adam Gadahn and Eric Hufschmid. Yes, it was that horrifyingly horrifying. My keyboard quakes as I contemplate telling you, it keeps typing NO, NO, NO!!! DON’T DO THIS! all by itself.
But I must. I cannot, not this time, I cannot digress before getting to the kosher meat of the story.
Barry Barack Hussein Sotero Obamama, the IVPFAA, was forced at gun-point and also no doubt due to one hell of an interesting blackmail scheme, to, on May 4th, 2010, a day that will live in infamy (hmm, didn’t someone say this about something else? Oh yes, it was about 9/11, but I digress), to sit down and have lunch with the scum of the earth, the solar system, and the galaxy, (no, not Dan Snyder, stop guessing out there). Yes, someone even worse than Dan Snyder, Wolf Blitzer, Anne Coulter and Charles Schumer combined – yes, goys and girls, it is true. Larry Sinclair’s alleged former back-seat blow-job buddy was compelled to have lunch with Elie “the Fraud” Wiesel.
Elie Wiesel
There, I said it. You know, it’s actually kind of therapeutic.
You see, the IVPFAA hasn’t been sufficiently subservient to his massa’ lately, so the US Knesset, as we reported here, put the schwarze goy boy back in his place. However, even that demonstration of Israeli hegemony was deemed insufficient by the likes of Abe Foxman and JAIPAC – so to make sure that he never, ever gets too uppity again, Elie Wiesel descended upon the White House like Turkey Vultures upon their favorite dead carcass.
Elie Wiesel at Lunch
Press reports show pretty clearly that had Obama been the president of a sovereign state, like Kyrgyzstan, the citizens of that state would have been humiliated. In other words, it was another job well done by Elie. No doubt you’ll want some evidence for this. Get out your barf bags cause here we go.
The very first thing the fraud said was ““It was a good kosher lunch”. This should tell you something.
“I had a good feeling” about the long lunch, Wiesel, 81, told The Jewish Week the next day in the first one-on-one interview he granted since the lunch. “There was no small talk; it was all substance,” he said of the meeting, with just the two men in the room. “I spoke about what Jerusalem means to me. I said the Muslims have Mecca, and we have Jerusalem.”
And this asshole is considered to be a human rights activist? I guess the Catholics have Rome, so Palestinian Christians born in Jerusalem also have to get the hell out? I mean, the Jews have New York, Washington, London, Florida, New Jersey, Hollywood, Maryland and so on, so when it is enough? Man they sure are suffering so much that they have to murder and expel Palestinians on a daily basis.
The day after the kosher lunch Wiesel took credit for getting Obama to change his policy on Jerusalem.
Wiesel said his recent full-page ad in several major newspapers here and in Israel extolling Jerusalem was written as “a declaration of love.” In the ad, he wrote that “for me, the Jew that I am, Jerusalem is above politics.
Then in the interview after the lunch he shows what a liar he is.
But the letter asserted that “pressure will not produce a solution” and that it would be a mistake to “tackle” the future of Jerusalem first in peace talks. “Why not leave the most difficult, the most sensitive issue,” he wrote, for a time when some trust had been established between the Israeli and Palestinian people?
Wiesel said he wrote that because he had heard, while visiting Israel during Passover, that the U.S. planned to have the two parties deal with Jerusalem first when they resumed talks.
“It worked,” he said with a smile, saying the White House reassured him that would not be the case.
So, while claiming that Jerusalem is “above politics” this lying little weasel then takes credit for changing the IVPFAA’s position regarding (the fake) peace talks.
While Wiesel downplayed his role as a diplomat — “Who am I to influence high-level negotiations?” —
He just fucking said his tactic “worked”.
As for advice for the Palestinian Authority? “Change the textbooks” that demonize Israel and Jews, he said.
Now let’s see, you steal their land, murder them in huge numbers, expel them from their homes, villages and cities, starve them, continue to murder them and to steal their land and kick them out of their homes and even drop phosphorus bombs on them, and you have the nerve to chastise them for teaching their children that they’ve been screwed, blued and tattooed? (And yes, the textbook issue is a fraud anyway.)
Did I mention that Wiesel is also a fraud? Read this article by Alexander Cockburn. But don’t stop there. Read this one by the director of Deir Yassin Remembered. Don’t, stop, don’t, stop, don’t stop don’t stop – read this one by Esam al-Amin on Counterpunch.
I’ve always liked Counterpunch. Click here and see tons of their articles about Elie Asshole Wiesel. Hours and hours of enjoyment for the whole family.
Elie Wiesel: "A Great Humanitarian"
2. If you read any of the links above you will see too that the fraud is, and this should be no surprise to anyone, an advocate of extreme sanctions against Iran – another Iran war monger. I highly recommend Scott Horton’s interview with Muhammad Sahimi. Dr. Sahimi is a professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Southern California and he, unlike Wiesel, knows what he is talking about. A very informative interview for those not familiar with issues involving Iran’s nuclear program. Very nice work Mr. Horton.
3. In Rabbis we trust: I think this is pretty funny.
4. In sports they call it a “make up call”. For example, your star quarterback whom you are paying 2.6 trillion US dollars a year drops back and throws a pass and about 3 full seconds after he throws the pass a 400 pound but very athletic defensive lineman crashes him to the ground, kicks him in balls and throws him between the uprights, but since the referees are staring at the cheerleaders’ boobs they don’t see it and don’t call the roughing the passer penalty. You run out on the field and scream at them and just go nuts and the replay is shown over and over again on the big stupid screen that’s as big as the football field itself and the refs go “oh fuck” in unison. So on the next play, your backup quarterback (your star is now dead) gets a lucky break due to an obviously incorrect pass interference call and you end up on the opponent’s 5 yard line with first and goal with 30 seconds left. Down by 8 points, you need a touchdown and the two point conversion to have a chance to win. But at least now you have a chance.
Well, this a make up call for you guys for me showing that disgusting picture of Ellie Wiesel above. Readers of Mantiq al-Tayr deserve the best, so here goes:
First, the return of Haifa:
Here’s a Russian belly dancer named Shira doing “Shik Shak Shok”.
And for the Mantiqiyyaat out there, here is Amr Diab
And in closing, we remind you of the stupidest cat ever.
