The movement for “a State of Judea” is among the foreign terrorist organizations that were named on Oct. 8, 1999, by the Office of the U.S. State Department’s Coordinator for Counterterrorism, as one of many initiatives of the American- born fascist, Meir Kahane. (Kahane had been murdered in 1990.) The state of mind of Abramoff’s agent may be gleaned from the e-mail sent Oct. 19, 2001 from Ben Zvi, discussing the hoped-for apocalypse: “The Zohar [the mystical Cabbala] says that before Moshiach [the messiah] comes, three towers will burn in the gate of Rome (edom).

  • How the State Department Betrays the Reagan Vision
    484 January 31, 1986 RHETORIC VS. REALITY: HOW THE STATE DEPARTMENT BETRAYS THE REAGAN VISION INTRODUCTION President Ronald Reagan and Secretary of State George Shultz have articulated a welcome and long overdue foreign policy doctrine. They have said that the goal of freedom loving people should be to roll back Soviet gains, not merely Itcontain them.Il They have denied the validity of the doctrine enunciated by the late Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev that once a country becomes communist it can never leave the Soviet camp. The liberation of Grenada was vitally important to this new Reagan Doctrine because it was the first step in discrediting the Brezhnev Doctrine. There are today a number of national liberation movements attempting to overthrow Marxist regimes in countries of key strategic interest to the U.S. As with most indigenous revolutions, these are anti-colonialist in nature. They seek to'oust rulers installed by an outside power. Unlike insurgent uprisings of the past two decades, today's national liberation movements are anti-communist and threaten to topple Soviet colonial governments. This is an historic turn of events for the Free World, one that may mark the first stage in the unraveling of MOSCOW~S empire. Both Reagan and Shultz have said consistently that free people have a moral obligation to support indigenous and nationalist anti-communist resistance movements wherever they occur. Both have said that freedom and autonomy are not privileges limited to.the West. After five years, however, the Reagan Administrationls liberation rhetoric still bears little relationship to actual U.S. foreign policy.

  • Editorial Africa's Food Crisis: What Is to Be Done?
    1 Editorial Africa's Food Crisis: What is to be done? There is far more written about the nature, causes and effects of the agrarian crisis facing Africa than about possible solutions. Several contributions to this Issue attempt to shift the discussion to these matters of policy. Some critically review prescriptions that are on offer from the international agencies or in the literature: Bienefeld's polemic against neo-classical economics' answers to the general economic crisis that are shared by certain 'Marxists'; Gavin Williams' meticulous dismembering of what the World Bank prescribes for Nigeria's agriculture. One book review looks at the World Bank's view of Famine and the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation's master plan for African agriculture while another explores how far mechanisation can solve the problems of agriculture. Other articles offer critiques of actual policies in Somalia and Zimbabwe and present their own alternatives. Of course, even the growing mass of analyses of 'The Crisis' are often implicitly pointing to certain prognoses, for any specification of causes tends to simply 'appropriate' treatment. In this respect Bienefeld's contribution to a debate more general than that of the specifically agrarian crisis, starts at the right place in uncovering the shaky assumptions of the arguments that state intervention is the root of the problem and release of market forces the solution. He also challenges the factual evidence drawn from the experience of the Newly Industrialising Countries and the more specific and very selective African cases, on which this 'new orthodoxy' is premised. Although this is the main thrust of the piece, we anticipate, and hope, controversy will be provoked by his conclusion that both this establishment view and the cosy convergence with it of certain 'marxist' views about the progressive nature of capitalism in contemporary Africa have thrown aside some of the insights about medium term economic prospects and political tactics that dependency theory offers.

  • The Anti-Defamation League
    The Anti-Defamation League Intimidation (including false accusations) by the ADL is their specialty, but through the strength of God, I have no fear of them. There is nothing wrong with exposing real anti-Semitism directed toward Jewish and Arabic people. Sometimes, the ADL do indeed expose real anti-Semites (like the neo-Nazis, 33rd Degree Scottish Rite Freemason Henry Ford, Charles Coughlin, etc.). On the other hand, real researches make manifest of the ADL not only being an arm of the elite (many of these elitists advocate one world government), but some have accused the ADL of once having mafia and pornography ties . The ADL is a network of people that stalks some people under the guise of “anti-Semitism” to elevate their own agenda . Many members of the ADL sincerely fight against bigotry, but their leadership have been corrupted with compromise. Their agenda is extreme political correctness and the promotion of a far left agenda. Out of the many exposes on them, one was created by William Cooper. William Cooper (who died in a murder at October 2001) created his The Hour of the Time tape series on the ADL, which is the most truthful and fairest around to lay the reality on the Anti-Defamation League. The ADL’s roots existed from the Jewish Masonic Lodge of B’nai B’rith, so that will be outlined first. In the words of William Cooper: “I am not talking about Jews. I am talking about a branch of the Illuminati, the control structure that is bringing one world government into fruition, destroying the sovereignty of nations, and many many other things.” According to Edith Starr-Miller’s 1933 Occult Theocracy, German Jews headed by Henry Jones invented the B’nai B’rith in October 13, 1843.

  • Displacements and Hmong Transnational Politics, 1975-2010
    Dreaming of Home, Dreaming of Land: Displacements and Hmong Transnational Politics, 1975-2010 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Her Vang IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Dr. Erika Lee, Advisor July 2010 © Her Vang 2010 All rights reserved ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In 1933, the Lakota author Luther Standing Bear suggested that written history was second best to oral tradition because “a people enrich their minds who keep their history on the leaves of memory.”1 For much of their history, the Hmong also stored their past not in books but on “the leaves of their memory,” and they passed down their history orally from one generation to the next. Parents in Euro-America read to their children to put them to sleep, but Hmong children traditionally fell asleep listening to their parents tell Hmong folklores and their own family history. Storytelling and history- telling were important parts of traditional Hmong culture and livelihood. A Hmong child who learned the most Hmong folklores and knew the most about the family’s history often grew up to become the leader of the family and the clan. Today, the keeper of the family’s past is still the leader of the family and the clan. A Hmong leader knows all the secrets of his family and clan, and he is responsible for resolving all disputes involving his family and clan. Despite this significance, history, I admit, has not always been my chosen field of academic inquiry. First, I previously had no strong motivation to do written history because written history, for the Hmong, was secondary to their oral tradition.
