ISRAEL: THE "DRAGGING ANCHOR"? You ain't kiddin'!
http://incogman.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/israels-death-culture-a-dragging-anchor/

Yes!It's the old "chickens coming home to roost" bit.
I have watched the Israel Government and military ever since the end of WW2,abuse and misuse their power and IMMUNITY under the British/USA umbrella.
Israel under the zionist political policies has ALWAYS been a PARASITE,feeding on OTHERS land,money,sweat,labor,crops,pain,suffering,and NATURAL RESOURCES.
And like ANY parasite,it is ONLY as strong,or healthy as its host!
Israel NEVER totally broke the UMNBILICAL cord from the USA or other 'benefactors'.
It never has been INDEPENDENTLY SOLVENT,or self-sustaining.
Now,the 'HOST' is sick and that sickness is passing through to Israel,and I have NO SYMPATHY.Not after sixty years!
I could NEVER sympathise with a brutal serial killer and LIAR.
The zionists have had SIXTY++ YEARS to prove their worth,humanity and COMPASSION to others,as well as prove they respect UNIVERSAL LAWS,MORALS,ETHICS and establish respect for other FAITHS too.
They have done NONE of these things.
Preferring,rather,to create A BIGGER RACIST,BIGOTTED DIVIDE.
And all because they have had AMERICA as their stupid,naive benefactor.
This has been TOTALLY to the detriment of the USA,as all AMERICANS are now finding out.
The very same thing happened pre-WW2 in Europe.
The zionists there were considered a double-dealing parasite,with really NO RESPECT for its hosts.
Always the TAKERS and never reciprocating with anything mutually progressive GOOD or humane.
The most pathetic thing,is to see the younger generations of radical Israelis/zionists perpetuating the National suicide.
Israel,in its present sick,manic form is failing fast,thank goodness.
They haven't EARNED the right to success,by any means.
Because after sixty long years of BRUTALITY,RACISM,APARTHEID,TORTURE,BULLYING,LAND and RESOURCE THEFT,MURDERING OF INNOCENT MEN,WOMEN AND CHILDREN all they have proved is that they CANNOT live independently,economically,spiritually,culturally in mutual and respectful PEACE with their NON-Jewish neighbours,who are often far more civilised and greater human beings with more intelligence,compassion,and love of LIFE,and GOD,than the zionist PARASITES.
This is something that MORE and MORE Israelis are realising too.There is an ever-growing divide within Israel itself,which could split it in two and weaken it further IF they do not change their terrible domestic/international policies.
It is also isolating itself from MILLIONS of Jewish,Christian,Muslim,Buddhist and ATHEIST people all over the planet.
Israeli zionists consider NO-ONE else but themselves!
They SHAME their own children,who are being really SCREWED UP psychologically,emotionally and spiritually.

As AMERICA goes,so goes Israel.
The parasite is ONLY as healthy as the host,and if the SMALL PARASITE BECOMES diseased itself(Israel) it will end up toppling the LARGER HOST,by passing back the disease,in a never ending circulation.
SO! Cut the umbilical cord.It's SIXTY YEARS OLD ALREADY,SHOULDN'T NEED BREAST-FEEDING ANY MORE.
We need to BOYCOTT,SANCTION,DIVEST from Israel,as long as it chooses this path of SELF-DESTRUCTION.
Otherwise Israel will drag us off the cliff WITH IT!
I will not allow my family,Nation,and their futures,to commit UN-NECESSARY suicide for a BAD,UNWORTHY,SICK COLD-BLOODED MURDERER.
That is Israel in its present form of SIXTY ++ YEARS!

Peace,Salaam,Shalom.

Loch,I agree with you totally.what saddens me is that as usual it will be the little one paying the price before anybody else and I don t wish that
We must not forget that many Israeli are just born there they should not pay for the father and mother fault,many of the generations want peace and they will be the first one suffering

Here's an interesting article on how the economic meltdown is beginning to affect Israel.

http://www.uruknet.de/?p=m53150&hd=&size=1&l=e

I suppose it will make the Zionist Entity more intransigent and more aggressive... The global economy blues HAD to come home to Israel eventually. The billions purloined by Madoff really couldn't last that long, considering all the military expenditures...

Just as a side thought too mizo.
Just as America's fiscal WOES are going to hurt Israels ongoing slaughter of Arab/Muslims/Palestinians(they CAN'T do it without us,the sweet,naive,all-giving Americans).
So ALSO,the Taliban will suffer too,because all these wealthy Sheiks,Emirs,Princes etc etc in The Gulf States and Saudi WON'T be able to ship out in the USUAL SUITCASE loads,BILLIONS of dollars(from our gas-tank filling)to fund the TALIBAN to slaughter OUR US troops!
Folks, every time you read of our US TROOPS getting blown to bits in Afghanistan(and before in Iraq),you will know that many of the Taliban/Mujarhadeen/al-Qaida weapons,to do it,came FROM the SAME GUYS we buy our OIL FROM!
They should have a sign at all our US gas stations,"Fill a tank and kill a US soldier".What do you say to that,Mr.EXXON Chaney,and M/s Chevron Rice?
How terribly sad,that double-dealing,back-stabbing creeps like Bush/Clinton/Bush etc spend SO MANY years shaking hands,signing oil-deals and swapping ceremonial tribal swords with some of the SAME oil-Sheiks who ARE STILL FUNDING puritanical fundamentalist killers like the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden to KILL OUR TROOPS.
Can you fathom that? Are we REALLY so stupid? So dumbed down and numbed OUT?
The profits from our US GAS-GUZZLING,goes to build those 'towers of babel' in the Gulf,and INSIDE those 'babel-isques' DEALS and PROFITS are made that pay for the killing of OUR boys and girls!
And then,our TAX MONEY goes to Israel to murder UNARMED CIVILIANS trying to resist AGAINST ILLEGAL occupation.
What 'friends' our Government chooses!
What "special relationships" our Congress INDULGE in.
No wonder our dead soldiers come home in the dark with hidden coffins! Our Congress must feel SO GUILTY!
It's amazing what,and WHO,our Government,and us,will sacrifice so our GAS TANKS are full,and the pockets of the oily boys in Congress and the White House ARE ALSO FULL.
Like the White House,the Burj Dubai wouldn't have been built if it hadn't been for THE UNDERFED,UNDERPAID,MISTREATED SLAVES.
Hey! I'm a secular Christian,who is deepily spiritual about life and humanity.
But,when I look at extravagant obelisques like the Durj,they still remind me of FALSE GODS rather than HONEST success,because I think of all the THOUSANDS of local people,in that nation who could have benefitted from the MONEY IT TOOK to raise such 'temples' for the FEW money-changers within.
And they can't tell me that that wealth trickles DOWN either!
Because it DOESN'T,LOL! Just like here!
Our Corporate Congress/Treasury/Reserve have a way of defying gravity when oit comes to MONEY and WEALTH.
IT TRICKLES UP,and SIDEWAYS ONLY!
Peace,Salaam,Shalom.

Regrading this thread:

Beggar, I thy neighbor
By Chan Akya

"Across the world, a number of previously autonomous republics are being forced to swallow their pride in the wake of the unfurling economic crisis. Often the cost of a bailout from a rich neighbor has been political accommodation, but even here shifts are only just beginning.

One of the more interesting stories deals with Dubai, the previously sleepy smugglers' port in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) that suddenly had aspirations to global dominance, as exemplified by the Burj Dubai, the world's tallest building (as an aside, building the world's tallest building almost always condemns the country to an economic downturn; the skyscraper curse is not urban legend). .."

A teacher can recognise when a student is ALREADY a teacher lol!

Live,Read,Teach,Change,Live.

First of all Grassroots, if I say something about your knowledge, experience, the long history you have observed and most importantly your passion when talking to people and how you talk to them, which is myself and lot of other people don't have it, it is because I SEE IT.
I believe that we need voices to tell the TRUTH along side KNOWLEDGE, some who can connect the dots, because they know and care and doing their duty, and unfortunately we need to adopt always to new ways to spread our views, and the good things with the blog idea, are many, it is going to save you a lot of time, all your posts, writing, links... in one spot and categorized, it can be public, privet, or to your family to share and participate, or make three instead of one! And about saving time for example there is a tool called: Press This, would allow you to copy and paste any part of the article you are referring to; and link already is added, and give you the options to choose any picture or video in the article and in seconds to your blog, then you copy it from there and pasted to any discussion.
All your posts and video would be organized and archived for you go back to any one of them and edit it or update it. It would take a couple hours to get the whole idea of blogging, and after that it is like writing an email!
And if your wife is complaining about your blog, tell her to have her own, I am just kidding, and I hope it is okay, but it could be a good idea too!!
Again I would love to see a blog called: Grassroots news' Blog!!!
I won't like the idea of taking a break, like a day or two from the news to manage a blog, which I did, but still you will comeback, if not as strong, stronger and with a new tool and ability to give more voices and echoes to the links and sites you think that they are telling the truth and you spread their words more, I have nothing yet in my blog, only 5 posts so far, but in 4 days there were 73 visit!
There are some people using blogging to talk about their cats, which is fine, someone blog is someone space;co and they are completely free to do whatever they want to, BUT isn't great to have a high level talk because we are concerned about WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING?
This is my opinion and wish, and I can't ask more, I went through this road, posting comments, involving in discussions on the net, and blogging after reading your posts. Could a student give his teacher a homework?
Thanks a lot Grassroots!!!

neglect is a form of abuse,I am glad that GR has the priority straight,Your wife and kids are lucky,to many act so well out side and totally forget and give for grunted what they have,In have been neglected and abused for 4 years

I'm humbled and honoroured mizo,thanks.
START A BLOG?
You are kidding. My beloved wife and kids tell me I spent TOO much time already on the computer,trying to find out what's happening in the world,and how to change it for the better, LOL!
Besides,I shall have great pleasure checking out yours now.And hope to see the web of TRUTH grow.

SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER,and remind "power" that they are ONLY 'power' because WE ELECTED them,and CAN un-eldct them PRONTO,if they do not perform Constitutionally and with integrity! lol!
Peace,Salaam,Shalom.

Hey Grassroots, a lot of the links I added to the blog were from your references.
In case you want to start a blog you can import all your bookmarks, or manually add each website you like to your blog.
Anything you write here, you can add it to your blog or the opposite and in this case they will be more in order; on your blog and easier to find and arranged.
Grassroots if you gather your comments here, only from one week, then believe my you will have a very good size blog.
It is really fun Grassroots, and great outlet to express ourselves, and try to expose the real issues.

And just in case anybody interested in this subject, and didn't know about it, here is a link would help:

"You can get a blog started in less time than it takes you to read this sentence. All you need is an email address. You’ll get your own WordPress.com address (like you.wordpress.com), a selection of great free and customizable designs for your blog (we call them themes), 3 gigabytes of file storage (that’s about 2,500 pictures!) and all the other great features listed here. You can blog as much as you want for free, your blog can be public to the world or private for just your friends.."

Cheers to all!

Hey mizo: This is taken from your site(good site).It reflects on what Obama will do with all the KBR(Kill,Bomb,Rout)servants/slaves left in Iraq?
I notice Obama is thinking of leaving in Iraq 10,000-30,000 troops to maintain securities and "take care of America's interests there"(big loop-hole,especially if Israel V Iran is one of those "interests",as well as protecting all the OIL/GAS facilities.
KBR guys DO NOT COME UNDER "American Troops" and NEITHER DO private mercenary/military forces.
If the Iraqis are NOT TOUGH,and make SURE that the USA does not PULL OUT completely Iraq will just turn into another US outpost/fort,with ACCESS TO ISRAELIS/MOSSAD,which means Israel will be using Iraqi soil to spy closer on Iran and CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS,for the US V Iran,which we DO NOT need OR want!

I am talking about all different forms of it starting from home to the rest of the universe,love for those children that are scared,love for those women that are not only dealing with the crises as all but they are often even more abused because their mates are male chauvinist that just take out their frustration on to them and then they will on the children,I am talking about the drive that comes when you want all happy and cared for,you believe in justice not revenge and it comes from my hart

I know that my biggest drive and strength comes from love,when I feel the love I am very powerful and driven,I am the only one that gets motivated by love?

You have to have some anger midnight,especially when its sometimes the only driving force that gets people up to DO SOMETHING.
Anger is natural.It stokes adrenalin too,and moves people from their status quo,to act and learn more.
Hatred is unhealthy. That can push you down the WRONG road,especially if it blinds you to reason and common-sense.
There is a BIG difference between RATIONAL anger and IRRATIONAL anger/hatred.
You have to stop looking at NEGATIVE themes as BAD.
They can actually be very stimulating and challenging to take on a try to change. Negative themes may not be fluffy clouds,blue-sky sunshine,love and peace.
BUT,they are often what life is and only by critically addressing NEGATIVE things can we resolve them and turn them more POSITIVE.
This IS anger and JUSTIFED anger,regarding un-necessarily BAD things that people do.
Somtimes certain things are WORTH losing,if they are bad.And maybe things are "Never the same after that"....maybe they are BETTER.
Storms are needed sometimes to blow away the clouds and dust,so we can SEE BETTER.
