General Marie Harf Through History

My personal fave will be that one, probably:

I came, I saw, I provided significant social welfare benefits and jobs for the Gauls.
But there are a lot of other goodies here. Enjoy.

Update: and yes, it is Bush who is guilty in Ms Harf talking nonsense.
Later in the interview she returned to her "not the first person" argument, pointing out that George W. Bush made the same point.
Now, I think, I've heard everything... nah...

Globalization in a nutshell

From a conversation between two system administrators:

Well, we've checked the situation, and look what we figured out: A Kazakh customer's site, located on a Ukrainian server, was hacked by Turkish hackers, who are based on the Russian segment of the Internet and Russian sites. The funniest thing is that the site in question (which contains materials in English) is dedicated to international brotherhood and common ethnic roots of all people.




The perfect remedy for her headache

The general theory of espionage. And the end of thereof.

This post is very important to all fans of spy thrillers, to all who are mad about Ian Fleming, John le Carré (at least before his conspiracy-ridden years), Robert Ludlum etc. It is even more important to all the naifs who believe that every stupid move by our less than smart politicians will be corrected by wise old people who inhabit their dusty small offices somewhere far from the glitter of the capital and their brawny trusty 007-type braves spread all over the world, ready to spring into action and save us (and the world) again and again. I know this is one illusion that was carefully nurtured in your brain. To part with it could be traumatic, but necessary, so schedule a series of meeting with your shrink, but first read this to the bitter end. It is going to change your life, I can assure you, and if it doesn't - your money back.

The man whose report I am translating is depicted above. His name is Alfred Koch, and some of his bio details appear in the text. More than that I can't tell. So, let's go.

***

I kept thinking: why does Putin call his opponents (whoever they are) - "colleagues"? It sounds somehow too ponderous for humor. And when the same crappy joke is repeated for the umpteenth time, it doesn't even sound funny anymore. And it doesn't work as an insult anymore, because of frequent use. And then it dawned on me: this is simply a part of KGB jargon! They used the nickname "colleagues" for the representatives of the intelligence services of the West. CIA, MI6, BND, what else is there... Ah! Mossad...

But why do they have to call them "colleagues"? After all, "colleague" is your teammate (perhaps a friend), who works with you on the team to solve a problem! And they are the enemies! Who kill each other, stalk, compromise, cheat, put each other in jail ... Wow - some "colleagues"... Why is that? What kind of common problem do they have to solve? Are they on our side of the barricades? I thought a lot about it and that's what I want to tell ...

Long ago, when I was a big boss (Deputy Prime Minister and, at the same time - Chairman of the State Property Committee), the same scene took place once a week in my office in the White House (and in the offices of other deputy prime ministers). My Chief Secretary will come in and, in a subdued voice, inform me that I had a courier with secret government documents waiting for me at the reception. The Old Faithful bowed his head out of respect for State secrets and opened the door.

A dashing lieutenant entered and handed me over a package in exchange for my signature. The package bore the inscription "Federal Security Service." It contained a summary of reports from agents abroad about everything. Who, where, what they said, what intrigues against Russia are invented by our enemies, what hypocrites our friends are, what they say about us behind our backs etc.

I must say that all this gobbledegook wasn't worth shit. All that was old news from the day before yesterday newspapers and magazines. The New York Times, Washington Post, Financial Times, Times, Frankfurter Allgemeine etc.

I, in the State Property Committee, had my own press office, which prepared for me the briefs from today's(!) Western newspapers. And I knew all these Chekist "secrets" three or four days before they were brought to me by the government courier. And my press secretary sent them to me by e-mail, rather than sending a secret courier with an envelope. Of course, no one classified this information as state secret of the highest level.

So what was the difference between these two files: the strictly top-secret FSB reports and frivolous digests by my press service? The point is that they presented the same news differently. My press office wrote: "Süddeutsche Zeitung reports..." And the FSB reports: "As we found out from a source we've recruited..."

And a revelation struck: there is no source at all! All this was bullshit! They do not recruit anyone. They just read the newspapers and on this basis concoct their memorandums to the Centre. And the "recruitment" money goes into their pockets. They even get the newspapers from the trash bins, which explains why the news is always from the day before yesterday. And the money for the newspapers - again, goes into their pockets.

And I've realized that this system exists for decades. They were so confident that the Deputy Prime Minister (a septuagenarian grandfather with the background of a parochial school) will not, under any circumstances, read "New York Times", that they easily sold him crap from NYT editorials, presenting it as information from a top-secret super-influential "source", which required lots of money for the recruitment and lots of time. (Come on there, where is my order of the Red Star and my KGB colonel's shoulder straps...)

Periodically, KGB funded exciting thrillers about their spies and created a mythology about themselves. But now that we know the value of all these Anna Chapman & Co, we understand that all this is BS and it's all about a sinecure. A budget manipulation and a fraud against the taxpayer, clear as baby's tear.

It is enough to check what exactly did Putin do in GDR (what spies did they have - with their Stasi?) To make sure - he went for the "Volga" [the car] and did nothing aside of fucking some German woman with big boobs and fishing in the Elbe ...

But the things are not different with the villains. Remember that idiot Briton, who two years ago was hiding some notes in a fake rock (well, wasn't he an idiot?). Or that CIA report to the US president in 1989 that the Soviet Union is stronger than ever and will last at least another 20 years ... Or the fascinating story about the fact that, when the invasion of Iraq began, it became clear that the American army has no translators from Arabic...

Where I am leading? It is now clear as day why all of them are "colleagues". They're all together in staging a show about themselves and about each other, getting paid from the budget in non-transparent funds and spending them on themselves. That's all. Do you get it? There is nothing more - nothing!

They can do this only because of the existence of each other! This scam has been going on for many years. They are completely dependent on each other. They coordinate all of their actions, demands, captures and exposures. Indeed, they work as a team against all of us. Russians, Americans, Germans, etc.

That's why they are "colleagues". You got it now, I hope?

And if you think that all of the above was a joke, check this.

Former FBI Agent Reveals Who Really Killed JFK. Finally!

I know, you all have grown to distrust headlines like this one. Indeed, the years that passed since the assassination have seen the list of culprits to grow so large that it may take a medium-sized football stadium to organize a reunion.

This time, I think, it is real McCoy.

A retired FBI Agent and Police Chief, who was one of the original investigators in Dallas examining the JFK assassination, stumbles upon records and reports that were doctored. He knows that, because he filed the original reports. His decade long investigation would take him deep into history and to the National Archives and beyond. Step by step he says he learned and can prove that Oswald did not kill JFK.
So now, with appropriate fanfare (drums included) we can disclose the name:

The Truth is Out  Most Agree That JFK Was Killed by the Federal Reserve Banks

(I've kept the original font for authenticity, if you know what I mean)

Read (and watch) the rest of the news in that link above. I shall only confess that I don't know the first thing about the Federal Reserve Banks, not even how many of these things are out there. Be interesting to know how they decided which one of the banks will pull the trigger, who will drive the getaway car and where they will hide the money... oops, no, scratch the last one.

Suffice to say that from now on I shall watch my back to insure that no Federal Reserve Bank follows me too closely.

And, not to forget, the article linked here offers a log of other goodies. Here are some of the offers:

The President of France Has Spoken The Truth

“I won’t allow words spoken in Israel that allow people to think that Jews don’t have their place in Europe and, in particular, in France,”
Quite.  The article is even accompanied with an expressive photo, illustrating that place.


Obama’s shameless Jewish cheerleaders

Isi Leibler on some Jewish Obama's supporters who pulled all the stops in their drive to earn some brownie points.

While U.S. President Barack Obama determinedly pursues his policy of appeasement, which may enable the world’s most dangerous terrorist state to become a nuclear threshold power, there are Israelis and American Jews who have initiated a campaign against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The campaign calling for the maintenance of bipartisanship toward Israel, is in reality undermining the hitherto strong bipartisan congressional opposition to the catastrophic U.S. policy toward Iran.

Israeli opposition groups and the anti-Netanyahu media are now concentrating their efforts on discrediting and calling on the prime minister to cancel his address to the joint session of Congress scheduled for March 3.

Disregarding the gravity of the negotiations with Iran — the underlying reason for the invitation — they accuse Netanyahu of destroying the U.S.-Israeli relationship by failing to obtain Obama’s advance approval to address Congress (which would never have been forthcoming). The White House even falsely alleged that Netanyahu accepted the invitation before they were aware of it.
More where this came from. Read it all.

Forum: What Do You Like Most About Where You Live? What Would You Change?

Then we'll kill us some Jews too...


The behavior pattern of murderous followers of the branch of Religion of Peace (that is not to be named by certain Western leaders by name) becomes more and more clear.

First they'll murder the infidels who desecrate the memory of the dear Muhammad PBUH in the Charlie Hebdo offices. Then they'll kill a few Jews, just for dessert.

Then they'll murder the infidels who desecrate the memory of the dear Muhammad PBUH at a free speech debate in Copenhagen. Then they'll kill a few Jews, just for the fun of it.

The Rage Boy has grown up, ladies and gentlemen. The Rage Boy is not into shouting and breaking windows anymore. He wants blood.

It doesn't matter anymore how adept you are in not naming the Rage Boy by his real name.

It doesn't matter anymore how subservient your are in acknowledging the Rage Boy's grievances, real or imaginary.

It doesn't matter how quick you switch off the TV in the security of your house, when they show the brown, black and yellow people murdering each other in far away places you shall never visit anyway.

Because the Rage Boy is in your streets now, and you can decide to remain deaf and blind to the danger. Or you can do your best to catch the Rage Boys and put them away for a long time or to kill them, whichever comes first.

Because, no matter the "randomness" and the "smallest extremist fringe" and the "grievances" - you are starting to be afraid, with a good reason.

So face it.

Update: now tell me you are not afraid:
The German city of Braunschweig cancelled a planned carnival parade Sunday because of a “specific threat of an Islamist attack,” police said.
...
Last month, Germany’s biggest carnival procession, in the western city of Cologne, banned a float paying tribute to the slain cartoonists of French magazine Charlie Hebdo due to security fears.

The float design, selected in an online popular vote, featured a man dressed in black with an explosives belt and a drawn gun and a jester shoving a pencil down its barrel.
Thanks to Peter for the update.

הקמפיין הגרוע בעולם, או "הלו, יש מישהו בבית?"

אני מצהירה בזאת שמבחינתי זה "רק לא ביבי".
אין לי די מילים לתאר את התיעוב שאני חשה כלפי ראש הממשלה שלנו ואת הכעס העז שיש בליבי עליו על המקום הנמוך בו מדינת ישראל נמצאת היום בכל אחד משטחי החיים. פנים וחוץ.
כמה שמחתי שבוז'י חבר לציפי ליצור אלטרנטיבה אמיתית לגוש הימין ההולך ונעשה קיצוני והזוי.
אבל עם הזמן אני נעשית מודאגת יותר ויותר.
על מה הם מדברים שם בקמפיין שלהם?
על כך שהליכוד מפחד לאבד את השלטון, או קיי, אז?
או על כך שיגידו עליהם כל מיני דברים, או קיי, אז יגידו, ואז מה?
בן כספית סיכם מצויין את הסיבות ל"למה לא ביבי".
חברים במחנה הציוני: למה שלא תקחו את כל אחת מהסיבות שהוא מפרט ותהפכו אותה לפוסטר בקמפיין?
למשל: ההתערבות הגסה והלא חוקית של גברת נתניהו בתפקודו של בעלה.
או: קלקול מהותי שנגרם ביחסים עם ארה"ב. אפשר להדגיש את ה"ניצחון שלנו על החמאס בעזה" עם כמות הנשק הבלתי נתפסת שנורתה והצורך למלא מחדש את המחסנים.
וכדי להדגיש את הסכנה שברפיסות הקמפיין אני מצטטת את רביב דרוקר: אז ייתכן שהרצוג יקבל בסוף הבחירות את התואר "המועמד ההגון ביותר", אבל אם הקמפיין שלו ימשיך ככה, ראש ממשלה הוא לא יהיה.

Debunking as it should be done


The poster above was presented by a (probably well-meaning) Facebook customer. Follows a great response to this clumsy propaganda attempt by David Sigeti. Enjoy.


This poster is every bit as deceptive as anything the Bush Administration did to convince people to support the occupation of Iraq, and I say this as someone who opposed the second Iraq War and was disgusted by the deception used to justify starting it.

In the first place, the claim of 2.5 million dead in "wars justified by 9/11" (presumably the Afghanistan and Iraq wars) is exaggerated by at least a factor of five or six. 400,000 is probably a high estimate and 500,000 must be very high. Talk about a lack of proportion.

Secondly, the great majority of those killed in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars were innocent Muslim civilians murdered by Islamists who were either our adversaries in the war (Al Qaeda in Iraq and allied groups in their attempt to reimpose Sunni Arab supremacy on the Kurds and Shiite Arabs in Iraq, or the Taliban in their attempt to reimpose a regime of lunatic medieval tyranny and murder in Afghanistan) or were practicing massive reprisals against the former groups, reprisals that we were trying very hard to stop (the Shiite Islamist terrorist groups that were allied with, supplied by, and largely controlled by Iran). Blaming the US for the crimes against humanity committed either by its adversaries or by terrorist groups that the US was trying very hard to suppress is absolute moral cretinism.

Finally, there is the fact that no one would dream of applying a similar argument to almost any other war. Take the US in the second world war, for example. The Japanese killed less than 2000, overwhelmingly combatants, in their attack on Pearl Harbor. The number of Japanese we subsequently killed in the war must have been in the high hundreds of thousands at least, and the number of Germans was probably in the low millions. In addition, the Japanese and Germans killed several hundred thousand Americans, mostly combatants, as well as countless civilians from Allied countries in reprisals connected with our attacks and in fighting our forces. Does this mean that we were wrong to go to war in response to Pearl Harbor?

It is amazing how much mendacity and twisted reasoning you can fit into three sentences and a fragment thereof.

Another book not to read: Q &A

Fearing a grisly re-enactment of the massacre in the present day, the Amblers and Rev. Henshawe use EKO 6 to locate the unhappy bones of Dunnere, a falconer buried alive by the Danes, and rebury him in consecrated ground. Can a Windows 98 prototype prevent catastrophe?
Windows 98? Beta version?

Nope.
