Well what do you know...

The Kennedy's have been a curse to this nation for a long, long time. Born to a Jew-hatin', philandering, boot-legging, mob-lovin', wall street-lootin' father and a mother in blissful denial, Robert Kennedy was as liberal as his dead brother. Which wasn't much in some ways, too much in others. Both Kennedys were for low taxes but open marriages. While John was voraciously hetero, both in front and behind the scenes, Robert's outward hetero behavior was more subdued, and his homosexual leanings have long been the whisper of the town. These are the kinds of sons you raise when you are the anti-Semitic hypocritical narcissistic married-in-name-only Joe Kennedy.

His sons were just like him...with one all-important exception.

Joe hated Jews, so much so that he did not want America to go to war against Germany. It cost him his Ambassadorship. But that was about it.

John and Robert, however, saw the horrors of WWII and knew better than their dad. And Robert literally witnessed the prophetic re-birth of one all important nation: Israel.

I received this today from good friend Lily Steiner. I am reposting it here in it's entirety; the reasons should be obvious, the importance more glaring now than ever. Robert Kennedy was a failure as a husband and father, but he was a stand-up guy when it came to Israel.

On the 40th Anniversary of His Assassination:

Robert Kennedy's 1948 Reports from Palestine

Lenny Ben-David

In April 1948, one month before Israel declared independence, Robert Kennedy, then 22, traveled to Palestine to report on the conflict for the Boston Post. His four dispatches from the scene were published in June 1948. The newspaper closed in 1956, and for decades the reports were virtually forgotten.

"Unfortunately for [the Jews, Jerusalem's water] reservoir is situated in the mountains and it and the whole pipeline are controlled by the Arabs. The British would not let them cut the water off until after May 15th but an Arab told me they would not even do it then. First they would poison it."

The Arab responsible for the blowing up of the Jewish Agency on March 11, 1948, said "that after the explosion, upon reaching the British post which separated the Jewish section from a small neutral zone set up in the middle of Jerusalem, he was questioned by the British officers in charge. He quite freely admitted what he had done and was given immediate passage with the remark,
Nice going.'"

"The Jews informed the British government that 600 Iraqi troops were going to cross into Palestine from Trans-Jordan by the Allenby Bridge on a certain date and requested the British to take appropriate action to prevent this passage. The troops crossed unmolested....I saw several thousand non-Palestinian Arab troops in Palestine, including many of the famed British-trained and equipped Arab legionnaires of King Abdullah [of Trans-Jordan]. There were also soldiers from Syria, Lebanon, Iraq."

"The Arabs in command believe that eventually victory must be theirs. It is against all law and nature that this Jewish state should exist. They...promise that if it does become a reality it will never have as neighbors anything but hostile countries, which will continue the fight militarily and economically until victory is achieved."

"The Jews on the other hand believe that in a few more years, if a Jewish state is formed, it will be the only stabilizing factor remaining in the Near and Middle East. The Arab world is made up of many disgruntled factions which would have been at each other's throats long ago if it had not been for the common war against Zionism."



Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, brother of slain U.S. President John F. Kennedy and former U.S. Attorney General, was the leading Democratic candidate for president when he was gunned down at a primary victory celebration in California on June 5, 1968. His Palestinian assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, said he killed Kennedy due to his vocal support for Israel.

In April 1948, one month before Israel declared independence, Robert Kennedy, then 22, traveled to Palestine to report on the conflict for the Boston Post. His four dispatches from the scene were published in June 1948. The newspaper closed in 1956, and for decades the reports were virtually forgotten.

Kennedy arrived in a chaotic and dangerous land on the eve of the British departure. Jewish Jerusalem and the Jewish Quarter of the Old City were under Arab siege and regular Arab armies were pouring into the territory. The British authorities were hampering Jews' efforts to defend themselves and were even countenancing Arab attacks against Jews.

Kennedy was liberal in his praise of the Palestinian Jews (only one month later did the name "Israel" and the term "Israelis" come into being). "The Jewish people in Palestine who believe in and have been working toward this national state have become an immensely proud and determined people," Kennedy wrote. "It is already a truly great modern example of the birth of a nation with the primary ingredients of dignity and self-respect."

One of his dispatches was headlined, "Jews Make Up for Lack of Arms with Undying Spirit, Unparalleled Courage." In one of his accounts, Kennedy describes his traveling with Haganah fighters in a convoy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

The young reporter was critical of a temporary slippage of the American government's support for Jewish statehood. He feared that the U.S. was shifting towards Britain's negative policies and its aim "to crush" the Zionist cause. "If the American people knew the true facts," Kennedy wrote, "I am certain a more honest and forthright policy would be substituted for the benefit of all."

In his biography Robert Kennedy and His Times, historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. reported that during his visit to Palestine, Kennedy wrote to his parents that the Jews he met "are different from any Jews I have ever known or seen." As for the Arabs, he wrote, "I just wish they didn't have that oil." Kennedy's empathy for the Jews of Palestine was all the more remarkable considering his father's antipathy to Jews. As related by Schlesinger, Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. opposed the United States entry into the war against Germany, and in the summer of 1942 complained to a friend, "There is a great undercurrent of dissatisfaction with the appointment of so many Jews in high places in Washington."

In the midst of the conflict, young Robert Kennedy expressed an amazing optimism: "The Arabs in command believe that eventually victory must be theirs. It is against all law and nature that this Jewish state should exist....The Jews believe that in a few more years, if a Jewish state is formed, it will be the only stabilizing factor remaining in the Near and Middle East....In many cases Jews and Arabs work side by side in the fields and orange groves outside of Tel Aviv. Perhaps these Jews and Arabs are making a greater contribution to the future peace in Palestine than are those who carry guns."

Boston Post - June 3, 1948


British Hated by Both Sides

Robert Kennedy, Special Writer for Post, Struck by Antipathy Shown by
Arabs and Jews'

By Robert Kennedy

Certainly if Arthur Balfour, Britain's foreign minister during the first World War, had realized the conflicting interpretations which were to be placed on his famous "declaration" calling for a homeland for the Jews, he probably would have drawn it with its meaning clearer and saved the world the bloodshed that its double promises have caused. In his attempt to conciliate both Jews and Arabs in a time of distress for the British empire, he conciliated neither.

No great thought was given to it at the time, for Palestine was then a relatively unimportant country. There were then not the great numbers of homeless Jews that we have now and no one believed then that the permission granted for Jewish immigration would lead 30 years later to world turmoil on whether a national home should mean an autonomous national state.

First let us consider the viewpoint of the Arabs in regard to the national homeland promised to the Jews in the Balfour Declaration.

The Arabs by word and deed leave no question in anyone's mind how they feel. They argue that the Balfour Declaration supports their point that no national state was promised, pointing to the clauses in the declaration that says the national home shall be set up subject to the civil rights of the people living in Palestine at this time. In recent years they have pointed to the United Nations charter and the Article dealing with the self-determination of nations. Let us adhere to that, the Arabs say, and let the people, that is the Arabs who are involved, decide the question by the democratic processes. If this policy of participation was truly adhered to they say, then why couldn't there be a partition with "the" partition set aside for the Arab minorities?

The Arabs are most concerned about the great increase in the Jews in Palestine: 80,000 in 1948. The Arabs have always feared this encroachment and maintain that the Jews will never be satisfied with just their section of Palestine, but will gradually move to overpower the rest of the country and will eventually move onto the enormously wealthy oil lands. They are determined that the Jews will never get the toehold that would be necessary for the fulfillment of that policy.



Always Will Attack

They are willing to let the Jews remain as peaceful citizens subject to the rule of the Arab majority just as the Arabs are doing in such great number in Egypt and the Levant states, but they are determined that a separate Jewish state will be attacked and attacked until it is finally cut out like an unhealthy abscess.

The Arabs believe they contributed greatly to making the Allied victory possible in the first World War. At the Paris peace conference they felt that they received nothing comparable to what they were promised for their fight under Lawrence against the Turks. Rather, due to power politics, British and French domination replaced that of the Ottoman empire. The Arab leaders attribute their country's backwardness to these 400 uninterrupted years of subservience to the Ottoman empire.

The Jewish people on the other hand believe that if it were not for the wars and invasions that racked Palestine and which sent them scattered and persecuted throughout the world, Palestine would today be theirs.

It would be theirs just as when Moses led them from Egypt into the Palestinian plains which they point out were unoccupied except for a few Bedouin tribes.



Set Up Laboratories

The [Jews] wish no other country, and in 1903 when Uganda was offered to them as a homeland, they were unanimous in their refusal. The Balfour declaration, when it was made, however, they felt was the answer to their prayers.

Under the supposition that, at the finish of the [British] mandate, this was to be their national state, they went to work. They set up laboratories where world-famous scientists could study and analyze soils and crops. The combination of arduous labor and almost unlimited funds from the United States changed what was once arid desert into flourishing orange groves.

Soils had to be washed of salt, day after day, year after year, before crops could be planted. One can see this work going on in lesser or more advanced stages wherever there are Jewish settlements in Palestine.

From a small village of a few thousand inhabitants, Tel Aviv has grown into a most impressive modern metropolis of over 200,000. They have truly done much with what all agree was very little.

The Jews point with pride to the fact that over 500,000 Arabs, in the 12 years between 1932 and 1944, came into Palestine to take advantage of living conditions existing in no other Arab state. This is the only country in the Near and Middle East where an Arab middle class is in existence.

The Jews point out that they have always taken a passive part in the frequent revolutions that have racked the country, because of the understanding that they would eventually be set free from British mandateship. They wished to do nothing to impair this expected action.

During the second World War they sent numerous volunteer Jewish brigades which fought commendably with the British in Italy. In addition to that, many Palestinian Jews fought as volunteers with Allied troops throughout the world and still others were dropped by parachute into German-held territory as espionage agents. They were perhaps doing no more than their duty, but they did their duty well.

The Jews feel that promise after promise to them has been broken. They can quote freely, for example, from speech after speech of Labor Party leaders in the election campaign prior to the victory of the Labor Party in England, to attest to the fact that one need not even refer back to the controversial Balfour declaration to learn Britain's attitude and promises toward a Jewish state, that was to be one of the first acts of the Labor government if it were put into power. The Jews, remembering this, have rather bitterly named the black bombed out [area] in the Ben Yehuda disaster, "Bevin square." [An Arab car bomb in Jerusalem in February 1948 killed some 50 people.]

It is an unfortunate fact that because there are such well founded arguments on either side, each grows more and more bitter toward the other. Confidence in their right increases in proportion to the hatred and mistrust for the other side for not acknowledging it.



Never Searched

When I landed at Lydda Airport I became immediately aware of it. I carried letters of introduction to both Arabs and Jews and at the airport where both sides intermingle it was explained to me by first one and then the other that I was taking a great risk. The Jew said it was all right for me to carry Arab papers in Jewish territory for I wouldn't be molested, but when I entered Arab territory I had better be rid of all letters to Jews for I would immediately be searched and, if they found anything, would be quickly shot. The Arab said exactly the opposite and I found both to be half right, in that I was never searched by either side.

Another fact I became immediately aware of was a basic violent hatred of the British by both sides. I talked to a British army sergeant who had been in Palestine for two years, and he placed the blame with the Palestine Colonial Police. Later I found many to be in agreement. He called them the "underpaid, uneducated dregs of society." They were evidently the most corrupt group of police in the world, firstly because they were so underpaid and, secondly, because when colonial police were sent to their posts the worst of the lot were invariably sent to Palestine.

The Arab bitterness and also fear toward the British had as its starting point the 1936-1938 revolution, which was crushed most ruthlessly by the British.



Increasing Bitterness

Leading Arabs in the higher committee speak in all sincerity of the Indian brought by the British into the country because of the great skill and knowledge that he possessed in being able to torture with fire while leaving no scar tissue. Many claim to have suffered by having their nails pulled out from their fingers and toes and others of having burning matches thrust beneath their nails. I found little evidence that these stories were true.

The Jewish attitude toward the British has been one of increasing bitterness. The Jews have looked upon the British civil administration, which some years ago took over from the army, as most unfriendly and uncooperative and which has therefore led to much mutual distrust. Jews received virtually no financial help for building schools and hospitals in Jewish settlements and the post office which was set up to serve Tel Aviv wasn't suitable for a village of several thousand inhabitants. I was forced to wait well over an hour in line in order to purchase stamps.

When told if they wanted a port they would have to build it themselves, the result was the port of Tel Aviv, which was constructed entirely through Jewish capital and labor. Nevertheless, it is taxed as high as the Arab port of Jaffa, which was built and maintained by funds raised by taxing both Arabs and Jews. These arguments are infinitesimal compared with the larger issues that have swept both sides during the last year, but they are mentioned to show that the hate that exists now is not something newly born and has a substantial background.

Jews Have Fine Fighting Force

Make Up for Lack of Arms with Undying Spirit, Unparalleled Courage - Impress World

The Jewish people in Palestine who believe in and have been working toward this national state have become an immensely proud and determined people. It is already a truly great modern example of the birth of a nation with the primary ingredients of dignity and self-respect.

Malca and her family to me are the personification of that determination. She is a young girl of the age of 23 and her husband and four brothers are members of the Haganah. She herself is with the intelligence corps and worked on the average of 15 hours a day, which evidently was not unusual. She had seen and felt much horror and told me the story of a case she had just handled.

A Jewish girl in her teens was picked up by some members of the Haganah on the road from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and, as she was injured, she was taken to the Hebrew Hospital in Jerusalem. They believed that she had somehow been separated from a Jewish convoy which had just gone through and which had had a scrap with the Arabs.

She was particularly noticed because of the strange people who were her visitors and by the fact that she insisted on being moved to the English hospital. Malca was sent to question her. She was turned away gruffly by the girl after the girl admitted that she had in reality been in a British tank with a boy friend and wanted nothing to do with the Jews.

The Jewish Agency offered to send the girl out on a farm in order to let her regain her health and give her a new start, but she just demanded her release which they were forced to give her. She continued consorting with the British police despite warnings from the Stern gang.



Brother Shoots Sister

One night the Stern gang followed the tactics of the underground forces in the last war. They shaved all the hair off the girl's head. Two days after Malca told me this story the sequel took place. The girl's brother returned for leave from duty with the Haganah up in Galilee and, finding her in such a state, shot her.

Malca's youngest brother is only 13, but every night he takes up his post as a sentry with the Haganah at a small place outside of Jerusalem.

His mother and father wait up every night until midnight for him and his older brother, 15, to return home. The other two brothers, both younger than Malca, give full time duty with combat troops.

An understanding of the institutions it contains, and of the persons that run these institutions, is most important if one would make up one's mind as to the worth of this "de facto" Jewish state.

I visited and inspected a community farm [kibbutz] through the kindness of a Jew who 40 years ago was in Boston making speeches for my grandfather, John F. Fitzgerald, when he was a candidate for congress. A third of the agricultural population live in such community farms which were set up originally to help newly-arrived refugees who had no money or prospects.

They are in reality self-sustaining States within a State and all the people in common undergo arduous toil and labor and make great sacrifices in order that their children might become heir to a home. An example of this is that when a child is one year old he is placed in a common nursery, with the result that all but the sick and infirm are able to devote their talents to the common cause. They get paid nothing for they need no money. Everything is financed by a group of elected overseers who get their money by selling what the farms produce. In our country we shrink from such tactics but in that country their very lives depend upon them.

The whole thing is done on a volunteer basis and one may leave the farm with his proportionate share of wealth at any time he chooses.

The one we visited was at Givat Brenner and, although no one paid attention to the firing going on in the plain below, one could see all around preparations being undertaken for the coming fight.

I talked to members of the underground organization Irgun. They were responsible for the King David Hotel disaster and told me proudly that they were responsible for blowing up the Cairo-Haifa train which had just taken place with the loss of 50 British soldiers.



Disillusioned

They believed the time had long since passed for the Jewish people to expect anything but treachery and broken promises from the outside world. If they wanted an independent state they would have to fight for it, and before they could even do that, they had to rid the country of foreign troops. They believe unquestionably that if it weren't for their so-called terrorist activities the British would have remained on in their country. Bevin's recent speeches in the House of Commons, they argue, have been ample proof of that. The question, though, in other Jews' minds is whether this compensated for what they have lost in good will by such tactics.

I went to the training camp at Netanya, north of Tel Aviv, where for three weeks and with very little equipment, Jewish youths, trained mostly by former British officers, were attempting to learn the basic tenets of army life. We watch a first-week group attempt an obstacle course, and while maybe the flesh was weak, it emphasized all the more what can be accomplished when the spirit is willing. We watched a graduation class make its final round and they gave the appearance that they might well be whipped into a fighting force before much time has passed.

The security forces and Haganah are far more experienced. After landing at Lydda Airport, I was immediately taken to be questioned and my credentials examined by the Haganah. After being released and going to my hotel in Tel Aviv, I went for a walk around this city of 200,000 inhabitants. I wasn't out for 10 minutes before I was recognized as a foreigner and picked up by the Haganah, blindfolded and once again brought to headquarters for questioning.

I talked to a Haganah soldier who fled from Prague as the Germans were taking over the city and he and his brother, who was killed, fought with the British throughout the war. He received news that his mother and two sisters who he had left in Prague were killed by the Germans and that his home had been completely destroyed.

British Position Hit in Palestine
Kennedy Says They Seek to Crush Jewish Cause Because They Are Not in Accord with It


I was in Palestine over Easter week and even then people knew there was absolutely no chance to preserve peace. They just wanted the British out, so that a decision could be reached either way. An early departure of the British has been far more important strategically to the Jews than to the Arabs.

The City of Jerusalem has more Jews than Arabs but the immediate surrounding territory is predominately Arab. Through part of that hilly territory winds the narrow road that leads from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

It is by this road that the Jewish population within Jerusalem must be supplied, but it is fantastically easy for the Arabs to ambush a convoy as it crawls along the difficult pass. On my trip from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem I saw grim realities of the fact and while in Jerusalem the failure and destruction of another Jewish convoy made meat non-existent and lengthened food queues for other items.

The Arabs living in the old city of Jerusalem have kept the age-old habit of procuring their water from the individual cisterns that exist in almost every home. The Jews being more "educated" (an Arab told me that this was their trouble and now the Jews were going to really pay for it) had a central water system installed with pipes bringing fresh hot and cold water. Unfortunately for them, the reservoir is situated in the mountains and it and the whole pipeline are controlled by the Arabs. The British would not let them cut the water off until after May 15th but an Arab told me they would not even do it then. First they would poison it.



Orthodox Community

Within the Old City of Jerusalem there exists a small community of orthodox Jews. They wanted no part of this fight but just wanted to be left alone with their wailing wall. Unfortunately for them, the Arabs are unkindly disposed toward any kind of Jew and their annihilation would now undoubtedly have been a fact had it not been that at the beginning of hostilities the Haganah moved several hundred well-equipped men into their quarter.

This inability to make any long range military maneuvers because of the presence of the British has been a great and almost disastrous handicap to the Jews. If the brief but victorious military engagement on the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem road had not taken place, the Jewish cause would have suffered such a setback as to be virtually lost. If the Haganah had waited for May 15th and the withdrawal of British troops, there would be few alive in Jerusalem today. Strong units of that body had moved into the hills on either side of that strategic road and repelled Arab counterattacks long enough for several hundred truckloads to make the 40-mile trip into the city, and then, only after threats from the British commander to use force against them, had withdrawn from their positions. As a Jew said to me at the time, "This is our battle of the Atlantic." The maneuvers had to take place and took place despite the British.



Power Supply

The same basic difficulty that exists in relation to the water exists with regard to electric and power supply. Fortunately, an immediate danger is not yet present, but the Arabs have had months of preparations for a maneuver they know their opponents must eventually make.

The Jewish ghetto in the old city of Jerusalem would not have been in such an untenable position if it could have been periodically relieved, or if with a Jewish victory in that area it could have been connected with the main Jewish section in the new city.

The Jews have small settlements or community farms such as Givat Brenner in completely hostile territory. They take pride that, despite the great difficulties, they have not evacuated any of them. From the very tip of Galilee right down to the arid Negev these communities exist with such Jewish names as Zan, Safed, Yehsem, Mishmar Haemak, Ben Sheba, Laza. All have their supply problems. But no great military operation can be undertaken into Arab territory to relieve the increasing Arab pressure.



Need True Facts

In addition to these handicaps that the Jews suffered through the presence of the British, there are many more far-reaching aspects of British administration which unfortunately concern or, rather, involve us in the United States.

Having been out of the United States for more than two months at this time of writing, I notice myself more and more conscious of the great heritage and birthright to which we as United States citizens are heirs and which we have the duty to preserve. A force motivating my writing this paper is that I believe we have failed in this duty or are in great jeopardy of doing so. The failure is due chiefly to our inability to get the true facts of the policy in which we are partners in Palestine.

The British government, in its attitude towards the Jewish population in Palestine, has given ample credence to the suspicion that they are firmly against the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine.

When I was in Cairo shortly after the blowing up of the Jewish Agency [March 11, 1948] I talked to a man who held a high position in the Arab League. He had just returned from Palestine where he had, among other things, interviewed and arranged transportation to Trans-Jordan for the Arab responsible for that Jewish disaster. This Arab told him that after the explosion, upon reaching the British post which separated the Jewish section from a small neutral zone set up in the middle of Jerusalem, he was questioned by the British officers in charge. He quite freely admitted what he had done and was given immediate passage with the remark, "Nice going."



British Markings

Just before I arrived in Palestine there was the notorious story of the foundry outside of Tel Aviv. It was situated in a highly contested area and the British accused the Jews of using it as a sniper post for the Jaffa-Jerusalem road. One day the British moved in, stripping the Jews of all arms and ordered them to clear out within 10 minutes. The British had scarcely departed when a group of armed Arabs moved in, killing or wounding all the occupants. The British government was most abject in its apologies.

I came in contact personally, however, with evidence that demonstrated clearly the British bitterness toward the Jews. I have ridden in Jewish armored car convoys which the British have stopped to inspect for arms. As always, there were members of the Haganah aboard and they quickly broke down their small arms, passing the pieces among the occupants to conceal them so as to prevent confiscation. Satisfied that none existed, the convoy supposedly unarmed was allowed to pass into Arab territory. If the arms had been found and confiscated and the Arabs had attacked, there would have been but a remote chance of survival for any of the occupants. There have been many not as fortunate as we.



British Informants

When I was in Tel Aviv the Jews informed the British government that 600 Iraqi troops were going to cross into Palestine from Trans-Jordan by the Allenby Bridge on a certain date and requested the British to take appropriate action to prevent this passage. The troops crossed unmolested. It is impossible for the British to patrol the whole Palestinian border to prevent illegal crossings but such flagrant violations should certainly have led to some sort of action.

Five weeks ago I saw several thousand non-Palestinian Arab troops in Palestine, including many of the famed British-trained and equipped Arab legionnaires of King Abdullah [of Trans-Jordan]. There were also soldiers from Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Trans-Jordan, and they were all proudly pointed out to me by a spokesman of the Arab higher committee. He warned me against walking too extensively through Arab districts as most of the inhabitants there were now foreign troops. Every Arab to whom I talked spoke of thousands of soldiers massed in the "terrible triangle of Nablus-Tulkarem-Jenin" and of hundreds that were pouring in daily.



Oversubscribed

When I was in Lebanon and asked a dean at the American University at Beirut if many students were leaving for the fight in Palestine he shrugged and said, "Not now - the quota has been oversubscribed." When journeying by car from Jerusalem to Amman I passed many truckloads of armed Arabs and even then Jericho was alive with Arab troops. There is no question that it was taken over by the Arabs for an armed camp long before May 15.

Our government first decided that justice was on the Jewish side in their desire for a homeland, and then it reversed its decision temporarily. [Editor's note: In March 1948 the State Department reversed its support for partition and called for a UN trusteeship.] Because of this action I believe we have burdened ourselves with a great responsibility in our own eyes and in the eyes of the world. We fail to live up to that responsibility if we knowingly support the British government who behind the skirts of their official position attempt to crush a cause with which they are not in accord. If the American people knew the true facts, I am certain a more honest and forthright policy would be substituted for the benefit of all.

Communism Not to Get a Foothold

Jews Guard against Red Agents in Guise of Refugees - Want No Part of Russian Tyrant

The die has long since been cast; the fight will take place. The Jews with their backs to the sea, fighting for their very homes, with 101 percent morale, will accept no compromise. On the other hand, the Arabs say:



Religious Crusade

"We shall bring Moslem brigades from Pakistan, we shall lead a religious crusade for all loyal followers of Mohammed, we shall crush forever the invader. Whether it takes three months, three years, or 30, we will carry on the fight. Palestine will be Arab. We shall accept no compromise."

The United Nations is scoffed at by both sides and the United States will never be able to regain the position of ascendancy she previously enjoyed with the Arab world. She lost the love of the Arabs when she supported partition. She lost their respect when she reversed that decision [in March 1948]. She lost it irreparably. For days on end Arab commentators drummed into their people that finally the power of the Arab world had been realized.

The Jews are bitter in disappointment. As one Jew said, "Britain let us down for 25 years but you bettered them in a week." The feeling stops at disappointment and there is none of the hatred that exists for the British. They can understand us not wishing to send troops and so become entangled in a war that does not immediately concern us, but they plead only for the right to make this fight themselves. They want arms and frankly admit that if they cannot get them from us they will turn to the East. "What else can we do?" They are fighting for their very lives and must act accordingly.



Won't Accept Communism

That the people might accept communism or that communism could exist in Palestine is fantastically absurd. Communism thrives on static discontent as sin thrives on idleness. With the type of issues and people involved, that state of affairs is nonexistent. I am as certain of that as of my name.

When I was in Tel Aviv, a group of refugees was landed and amongst them the Jewish Agency's "FBI" immediately picked up one of these agents. He was loaded down with money and papers, and all agreed that he must have been sent with the intention that he be captured to mislead the security forces into thinking that all the Russian agents would be as inept as this one and equally easy to capture. Lethargy would set in and it would be then that they would smuggle in their Mata Hari.



Demands Allegiance

Communism demands allegiance to the mother country, Russia, and it is impossible to believe that people would undergo such untold sufferings to replace one tyrant with another. Robert Emmet, the Irish patriot, on trial for his life before a British tribunal stated the principle. When accused of attempting to bring French forces into Ireland to help wrest it from the British, he said why would he, who loved and had been fighting for his homeland, deem it to his country's interests to replace a known tyrant by an unknown one. These people want a homeland of their own. That to them is the sole issue.

Vehemence and hatred between the Jews and Arabs increase daily. But in many cases Jews and Arabs work side by side in the fields and orange groves outside of Tel Aviv. Perhaps these Jews and Arabs are making a greater contribution to the future peace in Palestine than are those who carry guns on both sides.

The Arabs in command believe that eventually victory must be theirs. It is against all law and nature that this Jewish state should exist. They trace expectantly its long boundary and promise that if it does become a reality it will never have as neighbors anything but hostile countries, which will continue the fight militarily and economically until victory is achieved.



Stabilizing Factor

The Jews on the other hand believe that in a few more years, if a Jewish state is formed, it will be the only stabilizing factor remaining in the Near and Middle East. The Arab world is made up of many disgruntled factions which would have been at each other's throats long ago if it had not been for the common war against Zionism. The United States and Great Britain before too long a time might well be looking to a Jewish state to preserve a toehold in that part of the world.

Both sides still hate the British far more deeply than they hate one another. There was a British high commissioner who when attending the opera used to have his car parked directly in front of the main door, a place usually reserved for discharging passengers. An even more unpopular practice was the regulation that at the end of the opera everyone had to remain in their seats until the British high commissioner was out of the opera house and in his car.

But the British have left - and now the issue is to be resolved in a bitter war between Jew and Arab. I do not think the freedom-loving nations of the world can stand by and see "the sweet water of the River Jordan stained red with the blood of Jews and Arabs." The United States through the United Nations must take the lead in bringing about peace in the Holy Land.

Robert Parks running for office!!!

Dear friend and born leader Bob Parks is announcing his bid for office in the east's liberal playground of Massachusetts. I've known this courageous man for 4 years now, and my only regret is that I can't vote for him. But many of you being held hostage in this vile liberal prison can. For the first time in a long time, a candidate truly worth voting for.

Spread the word...there is hope yet for freedom's backers, and his name is Bob Parks.

Keep the faith, bros, in all things courage, and no substitute for VICTORY!

What will it take????

You know, I have been saying for months that the Spirit has been telling me it was going to be Hillary. As we've been getting closer and the hippies' worst nightmare--having to decide who is more victim-ee, a black man or a white woman--plays out on TV I've asked again and again and still it's been Hillary. I started thinking that maybe it was meant for later, or that she would be VP and come into power somehow, but the power of the Spirit continuing to say that started me thinking that something was going to hit so hard that the easily led Dem Delegates--who chose Hillary last fall without even considering any of the white guys, then couldn't dump her fast enough when they decided the word "racist" was waaaay more scary than "sexist"--would jump ship with all the other rats and let Obama go down with a gurgle.

Good friend Bob Parks of Black & Right hinted to yet another Black Mama Michelle rant against Whitey.

Excerpt from Bob's site:

"...Rudy Giuliani may be out of the presidential picture for now, but he may swing the election towards McCain. According to Katy Grimes at Townhall, he has the sledgehammer that just may deliver Barack Obama a knockout punch, again, all because his wife has a big mouth.

The buzz about a tape surfacing of Michelle Obama ranting about "Whitey" together with Louis Farrakhan and the Reverend Jeremiah Wright is interesting, if not a deal breaker. When it comes out, Barack will be permanently branded with the Nation of Islam - not a good tag when running for President of the United States.

The word is that one of the Republican candidates no longer in the race (Rudy) acquired the tape. Republicans will most likely hold the tape until the fall. Because if Hillary had it, she'd let it out now to get rid of Obama."


And a Fox News teaser he has up:



Tomorrow, huh? June 5th? If they wait just one more day, we could have a whole new meaning to D-Day.

POLYGAMY--A Mormon Broad's View

BY: Resa LaRu Kirkland


The latest news on the horrors of man-instituted polygamy has caused me to receive a deluge of emails regarding the LDS church--to which I belong--and the practice of polygamy. While the scandal involves a break off of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, it is still a reasonable question, and deserving of a truthful answer. Only the Prophet can give direction for the Gospel here on earth, but all of God's children are entitled to ask Him for answers and receive answers when He--and His child--is ready. Between His words to His prophets--from the Old Testament to now--and the personal answers we are all entitled to through study and prayer, understanding the difference between polygamy ordained by God and the selfish, gluttonous, and wicked polygamy of man are plain to see and stark in contrast.

So here it is--the good, the bad, and the ugly of Polygamy.

We believe in the concept of the New and Everlasting Covenant. We are sealed by those in authority to do so beyond this life so that we remain a family in the next life; there is no "'till death do you part" in our religion. We do not believe that God meant for marriage and family--the
ONE thing He established when earth started and man came to be(he did not set up farming, business, governments, or politics, but MARRIAGE only)--to be for this life only. Marriage and family are the ONLY eternal profession. It is the most important thing we will ever do.

God instituted polygamy on rare occasions on earth; it was never viewed as one of the "blanket commandments" like THOU SHALT NOT STEAL. It was a law that was lived at certain times and forbidden at others, and was usually a legal maneuver for childless women within society more often than a commandment of Father's. But there is a most definite way to know when the times were approved of by God and when they were chosen by man.

When polygamy was allowed by God, it was always the woman's choice, such as with Abraham and Sarah. Not only did the woman have to give her consent to living polygamy, it was often her idea. The wife had to both agree to polygamy AND have say on who the other wife was. If the wife said no at any point prior to the marriage, the man was commanded not to live it. There was no punishment or threat of going to hell for not living this commandment--it was seen as a law for only a handful of people to live at any time it was implemented by God. At the times it was a commandment of God, less than 5% of His followers lived it. Abraham lived it at the request of his wife Sarah, who chose his second wife Hagar. Jacob lived it only because of the treachery of his father-in-law, and then tolerated more wives after Rachel and Lea began "the battle of the handmaidens." Jacob was an obedient son-in-law but a greatly beleaguered husband. He tolerated much for the sake of his beloved Rachel, who was childless for many years of their marriage. Polygamy of God was seen as the wife's choice and husband's obligation to his wife in order to remove the shame that man heaped upon a childless woman.

It was the same with Mormons and polygamy. Less than 5% were asked to live it, and every time it was the decision of the woman, not the man, that was the final call. And as with Old Testament polygamy, there was no threat of hell or eternal punishment if it was rejected, no excommunication or denial of association. It was all a matter of free will: the one matter of eternity that not even Father’s unconditional love can trump. We must choose to return to Father; He will NOT force us to Heaven, nor will He ever force us to do right. It must always be our choice—both good choices and wicked choices--or it simply doesn’t count. Only Satan forces. He has to, because he knows that those with free will gain knowledge, truth and understanding, and such things are NOT his friend. He knows God’s children will never choose him if given a choice; that is why all wicked men must deny free will. It is the ultimate enemy of iniquity.

Now look at the difference between God-ordained polygamy and the polygamy of man. In man's polygamy, the wife has no say whatsoever. The man gets to choose whatever woman and however many women he wants, and none of the women are allowed to say no. The trend when polygamy is evil is toward men growing older and older and their wives getting younger and younger. To force anyone to do anything is a direct violation of God's lawful polygamy, which was a law of choice, not force. You also see--without the ordination of God--that men begin to turn on one another, forcing younger more attractive men to leave their cults so they have less competition for women, beatings and threats to keep non-compliant women in line, the denying of choice or even the right to say “No” to marriage or pregnancy, gluttonous numbers of women who are forced into a lifetime of servitude to a man instead of being allowed to choose to serve God as they see fit, and the eventual incestuous relationships of uncles, nieces, cousins, etc. It is a law of force and no choice when it is mandated by man, rather than the law of choice--specifically the woman's choice--when it is justified by God. Therein lies the difference.

You must also understand that social norms often demanded such things. When polygamy was authorized of God, it often came at a time where famine, plague, or war had depleted the male population and left more females behind, in particular widows and orphans. God has been consistent from Old Testament through Doctrine and Covenants in providing care for widows and orphans. In ancient Israel it fell to a man's brothers to marry his widow and care for his children, but in modern heavily-Puritan influenced times of the 1800’s, a woman could be labeled the worst thing society back then could label her: a whore. Most of the documented cases of Mormon Polygamy were to care for women left behind by men who had either died or abandoned them. Remember, American society at the time frowned on women with careers. Brigham Young was actually ahead of his time in that when they needed doctors and there weren't enough single men to fill the need, he sent single women back east to train. Many of the marriages, as in ancient times, were done to remove the shame that man heaped on women who were alone, and prevent any punishment by gossip and the evil tongue against these righteous daughters of God. Of course, it shouldn’t happen that way, but the evil tongue is a horrific evil that weighs heavily on man more today than at any other time in history, and Father knows this to be true. In His wisdom, He seeks to give those who hate Him no cause.

Many say that polygamy has been lived over the centuries to build up the kingdom of God. This could be true, except for one thing. When God placed Adam and Eve on earth, if there was ever a time to justify polygamy, wouldn't it have been then? I mean, they were it, and needed to people an entire world--so why didn't He give Adam multiple wives then? As I studied and prayed to figure that one out, it became clear.

Adam and Eve were the beginning of God laying down His laws and relationship with His children on earth. For the rest of time, men would look back to the beginning when asking God how they should deal with life on earth. The fact that God made Adam and Eve the foundation for all marriage proves that His eternal ideal always has been the idea of one man, one woman. There have been times when He has temporarily ordained more than one wife, but those were never meant to be His law forever, or for everyone, and were often the idea of man and made into the law of the land. So long as His daughters were NOT denied the right to say “No,” Father allowed man to make laws for the benefit of society. But His ideal of marriage will always be that of one man with one woman. He has made that abundantly clear.

We believe that the inherent love for family and spiritual leanings of a woman means that more women will be worthy to enter the Celestial Kingdom--the highest degree of Heavenly glory, and the only one where man can live with our Father in Heaven--than will men. The Jews also believe more women will be worthy to enter Heaven than will men. In order to access the top level of the Celestial Kingdom, a man or a woman must attain the highest level of the priesthood. The highest level of the Priesthood is a temple marriage, an eternal sealing to one another. Men can only attain this high level of the Priesthood with a woman, and women can only attain this high level of the Priesthood with a man. There are no singles at this level of the Priesthood. A man cannot enter the highest degree of glory alone, and no matter how righteous, neither can a woman. If the only thing keeping a righteous woman from the top level of Celestial glory is marriage to a worthy man--and there are no worthy men available among single men--then polygamy is logical, but again, it will be as it was on earth--very few will choose--and choice is the eternal key--to live it. The majority who make the top kingdom will most definitely live God's ideal, which he has made VERY clear is one man, one woman. It will require remarkably unselfish, true loving women to care so much for a sister that she offers to share her husband so that this sister she loves may attain Celestial glory. And as on earth, it must again in eternity be the woman's choice and the woman's choosing to live it.

I must stress this again: at any of the times that polygamy was authorized or tolerated by God, less than 5% of his righteous were asked to live it. That is hardly enough for any reasonable person to believe that it will be the rule rather than the exception in the next life. Bear in mind that when polygamy was lived in unrighteousness and against the will of His daughters, God was quite irate, and chastised the people through His prophet. That happened in the OT as well as in the Book of Mormon. I honestly don't know how much more God has to do to make it clear that His eternal ideal, both now and for eternity, is the same as it was in the beginning: one man, one woman.

You need only to read scripture and the words of the prophets to know that what we see in Texas is evil. The women are allowed no choice in their dress, hair styles, spouse, age of marriage, children, or lives, a direct offense to God’s eternal commandment of all things being a choice, even if we choose wrong. Anyone—and I mean ANYONE--who tells you that you have no choice has chosen Satanic belief; run from them and never look back.

CAVEAT—Obeying the laws instilled by the will of the people is NOT force, so let’s nip that in the bud right now. Those who choose God will make righteous laws; those who choose Satan will make selfish, wicked laws that remove free will. Choose wisely and you have no need to fear law, be it God’s or mans. Consequences are the natural result of obedience or disobedience, NOT a punishment from God. If your choices force your Father to leave, you are not in neutral territory; you are left to the mercy of he who has none. And once in his grasp, you can be sure choice will be gone and replaced with slavery.

All of this can be summed up in my favorite old hymn:

Know this, that every soul is free
To choose his life and what he’ll be;
For this eternal truth is given
That God will force no man to Heaven.

He’ll call, persuade, direct aright
And bless with wisdom, love, and light;
In nameless ways be good and kind,
But never force the human mind.
--LDS Hymnbook

So there it is…knowledge, truth, and understanding. The choice is up to you. Ain’t it grand?

Keep the faith, bros, in all things courage, and no substitute for VICTORY.

SAME OLD SAME OLD--Israel, America, and one Very Wicked Man

By: Resa LaRu Kirkland


We never learn.

I know, you've heard it before. And yet, here we are...again.

As a history lover, I cannot help but notice the trends, cycles, behaviors, and consequences that humanity has repeated since leaving Eden. Oddly enough, in spite of the diversity of this planet, there are some things that are the same no matter where, when, or to whom they happen. Those are the things of eternal consequence, the things that truly matter when all the fluff and distraction of life is tossed aside.

They are what happens when good people choose evil.

Yea, and we also see the great wickedness one very wicked man can cause to take place among the children of men.--Book of Mormon, Alma 46:9

It has never ceased to amaze me that no matter which tribe of Israel you study--the Bible is about the tribe of Judah and the Book of Mormon is about some of the descendants of Judah's little brother Joseph, who left Jerusalem in about 600 BC and traveled by ship to the promised land of America--there is the same cycle. The people start out righteous, constantly seeking to do good. As a result, God blesses them with great gifts of knowledge, technology, wealth, abundance, peace and wisdom.

But then a curious thing happens, a thing that inevitably leads to THE ONE INEXORABLE TRUTH, a truth that Father knows but that we have to learn over and over again, and usually the hard way. Please follow me through the progression, as there are several steps that lead to the final, full understanding of this eternal truth.

***NOTE***(For those of you new to WARCHICK writings, the above is why I refer to America and Israel as the "Joes" and the "Jews." Nearly all archaeologists and historians agree that the peoples who wound up in England, Scotland, Ireland, and parts of Western Europe descend from the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, the two sons of Joseph; that's not even counting the group mentioned above who were already in America when Europe landed, those who came to be known as the American Indians. That means that every Founding Father was of the House of Israel through the tribe of Joseph, thus fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy about the Stick of Judah and the Stick of Joseph, and Daniel's talk of the "Big branch" and the "Little Branch" of the same tree: Israel. This also indicates that the "New Jerusalem" and "New Zion" spoken of over and over again in the scriptures is in America, which makes perfect sense when you understand that nothing can stop God's plan, not even blood-thirsty Muslims stealing Jerusalem. ("16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. 17 So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more." Old Testament | Joel 3:16-17. Zion roars and Jerusalem utters? AFTER Zion shall Jerusalem be holy and Israel restored to the House of Israel by Zion, no less? Sounds like America and Israel in the past 100 years to me! America certainly roars, and I am always in awe of the way Israel quietly goes about being the most remarkable nation on earth.)Those of you who read me know that I am fond of saying, "We must stick together, the Jews and the Joes, in the war against the great evil of Islammunism." Whether you like it or not, America, you are the prophesied Joes. What, you thought it was just a coincidence that the whole world refers to our warriors as "Joes?" Not only from His mouth shall we know the truth, but from the mouths of millions shall it be eternally confirmed. And for those of you in full "Why I never!" gasping, I have one question: Do you honestly believe that God would command only ONE of the tribes of Israel to write their history? I swear to you this day that He commanded ALL 12 tribes to write their histories, and the day will come that we discover the Sticks of Reuben, Simeon, Dan, Gad, Levi, etc.)

Rather than these gifts inspiring man to be even more righteous, they cause him to begin to believe in his own knowledge, power, wisdom, and wealth. The more he gains, the more he credits himself. He begins to dismiss God, leaning instead unto his own understanding, and engaging in the only practice that divided Heaven in the pre-existence: the evil tongue.

Through the gift of this same free will that he will come to viciously suppress in others, this man will start planting little seeds of discontent among the righteous, stirring up emotions in order to disarm the logic center of the brain, as he knows all too well that logic and truth are NOT on his side. He will take little wounds and pick at them until they are red, swollen, and infected. Even when he gets his way, it will not be enough. He will use his free will to force others to do things his way over and over again and again, to greater and greater extremes of evil and insanity, focusing on tiny, imaginary, or long-ago offenses in order to try to justify unjustifiable behavior. (Think of the femmies, hippies, and minorities of the past 40 years. Even when the majority have agreed that there were wrongs in need of righting--and acted upon them--it was not enough. What generally starts as a just cause that most can see--equality--inevitably morphs into wretched elitism--affirmative action.)

By this point he will be too mentally stunted to even recognize that by destroying the free will of the righteous, he is cannibalizing his own, for one of the foundations of THE ONE INEXORABLE TRUTH is this: what starts with one group never ends with that group. He who seeks to deprive the righteous of free will for his own selfish gains shall inevitably be enslaved by those very same mandates.

Thus we see that a group that once dwelt in righteousness and peace begins to chip away at its own foundation. It is Satan's ultimate, gleeful, low-down double-cross: convince one man to obliterate the free will of another man, then enslave and cannibalize the man who aided and abetted you.

Two destructions for the price of one. And it all begins with one free man, one good man, who chooses to become one wicked man.

At this point, the remaining righteous--still the majority--will go to their Father and ask for direction in dealing with the growing group that is beginning to murmur and to harass those who believe in God and in His precept of "live and let live."

Reading through the scriptures, I find several steps that occur when dealing with the wicked who cannot and will not live and let live. The first step is that of limitation.

God will tell his people that these wicked children have the right to choose to do the wrong thing, and that none of His children has the right to force them to do anything, EVEN the right thing, for force was the plan put forth by Lucifer and rejected by all who dwell in this mortal realm. Instead His command would be for the righteous to limit their interaction with the wicked; not because the righteous couldn't handle it, but because the wicked's intentions and dealings with the righteous could not be trusted.(Hmmm...sounds a lot like those nations who have NEVER kept a single peace treaty, cease fire, truce, etc., while America and Israel have faithfully stood by theirs.) So the righteous go back among those who were once their friends, watching carefully and praying as much for their fallen brethren as they do for themselves.

And it came to pass...

But it didn't take long--in any of the scriptures--for this first step to no longer be enough. The harassment of the righteous by the wicked would escalate as more were easily led to the side of fools, and the field begins to tilt to the other side. What started as tauntings become deliberate cruelty, attacks, lies, theft, defrauding and subjugation. These junior high antics are the only weapons the wicked have, for with each step they take away from the light and toward the darkness their levels of maturity and intelligence actually drop, until they have regressed to perpetual adolescence, delighting in cruelty, name-calling, forcing, and fighting.

And the righteous return to Father for help.

The next step the scriptures often repeat in this constant and vicious cycle is the "cut off" stage. This is the stage where things have become bad enough to warrant cutting all ties and dealings with the wicked but not yet a mortal danger. The righteous cut all business, merchant, political, association, and minglings with those who seek their destruction. They keep to themselves, buying and trading only with those who will allow them to do so in peace and doing nothing against an enemy who is now thirsting for their blood.

By this point in scripture, most of us can see what's coming, and if you're like me, you're always puzzled as to what bug crawled up the wicked's butts. The righteous are doing nothing to hurt them, interfere with their freedoms, provoke them, or stop their choice to be complete and utter assholes. They are simply existing, living, loving, defending and unlike the wicked, they are prospering.

For the wicked--since time began--existing IS the offense. Prospering just aggravates it. When you choose evil, it would seem, the ability to put two and two together hitches a ride with your rapidly exiting conscience. You are unable--and unwilling--to connect the actions of the righteous with their prosperous outcome, and seethe with jealousy and hatred for what the good have and the wicked want.

So now it's back to Father for help. The attacks are growing violent, constant, and too often life-threatening. Freedoms, possessions, and rights are being stripped with ravenous frequency from the righteous, every offense greatly amplified if it is committed by one of the righteous, but covered up, ignored, justified, or rapidly glossed over if the offender is one of the wicked, (often hidden under code words like "Oppressed minorities, apartheid, racism, sexism, or any cowardly words they can invent in order to call good evil or evil good")and all of this in spite of protest, reason, and even the law. At this point--throughout all history, both scripture and secular--a split occurs. The righteous are either run out of town by the wicked--now the majority--or choose to leave because staying means certain death, or even worse: slavery.

If they've listened to Father, the split comes as the next step: fleeing into the wilderness. By now the wicked are in full decadence and wretched consumption. They no longer have to be lured or eased into hell; they are now the proud owners of it. This step inevitably causes the loss of many righteous, who have grown at ease in Zion, and don't want to be bothered with sacrifice and difficulty. Unless they come to their senses and starting walking what they talk, they will inevitably be consumed by the wickedness they were too apathetic to flee.

Father will lead them to a safe place to build up a city fortress, for He knows what the righteous don't: this is merely buying them some time. The wicked WILL come.

Now keep in mind that these steps usually take place over many generations, even centuries. They have rarely occurred in a matter of a decade or two. And for those of you wondering why bother with all the steps when Father knows from the beginning what will happen, I remind you that what goes on here on earth is for our benefit, not Father's. WE are the ones who need to learn, NOT Father.

The moment of truth is now upon the righteous in the final step: Defending Zion and freedom. The one constant throughout history has been the showdown that must always happen so long as evil dwells among us. We have a choice to make then: risk death to defend the freedoms that God gave us but Satan seeks to steal, or choose to live under wretched slavery.

And here we are again, at that final step. Now if you ask anyone who has ever lived under Islam or communism--or Islammunism, given their Hitler/Stalin-esque Non-Aggression pact while they carve up the world between them--they will cry freedom. But it is a quirky thing that those who have had freedom and abundance have a tendency to choose "moderate slaver" or "slowly encroaching slavery" rather than risk pain, suffering, and losing their stuff.

Never once in history has any group unwilling to defend itself survived. Not once. Diplomacy, negotiations, reason, decency--all of these have only stalled the inevitable, and are useless against an indecent enemy. The War in Heaven--fought between those who wished to have the free will to choose and those who demanded you do it their way--has followed us to earth, and will always be here until the father of that war--Satan--is bound. Until then, we must re-defeat him and his followers over and over again, because he will never stop on his own, and neither will those who subscribe to the Satanic belief of force over free will. Every war in history has been between these two forces, and every war in the future will be the same until force is fully rejected by us.

And the One Inexorable Truth that all of these steps lead to? The answer is simple, and explains why we must keep fighting the same war over and over again.

Islammunists/hippies would have you believe that the righteous, Judeo/Christian groups are an oppressive bunch who impose their will upon those who choose not to believe. While there have certainly been individuals and groups in our history who have done so, the steps outlined here prove that to be completely wrong. You see, it isn't good that will not live with evil. Good can tolerate evil, and always has. It is evil that will never, ever, ever tolerate good. There could be one righteous man in a far off corner of the world, living on his own and interacting with no one and evil would seek him out with ravenous carnage.

That is why war with evil is inevitable; there is no permanent appeasement for those who never intend to let you live. And that is why any treaties signed by a follower of Islammunism can't be trusted. No matter how strictly you adhere to your side of the bargain, they will break theirs the minute they think they can hurt you, then hurry and promise to do it for real this time, no crossies count.

You need only look at restored Israel--who has kept every word it has ever given--and the Islamic stain they must live with. Out of every promise, treaty, truce, cease fire, etc., the phony-baloney Palestinians have ever signed, they have yet to keep one. This what God meant when he spoke, "But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." It has always fascinated me that Father put both--deceiving and being deceived--on the same level. Surely one is the sinner and the other the victim, right?

Wrong. When God has given you signs of the type of people to be wary of, when those people show over and over again their true intent while we play "Let's pretend they're not lying" when the only evidence you have is lies, broken promises, and murderous intent, sounds to me like maybe the victim's guilt is even higher. To be deliberately deceived is indeed wicked because we know better, and are too lukewarm to do things right.

No matter how many Oslos, Road Maps, or Annapolis's you have, so long as the House of Israel breathes, evil will come, for good doesn't follow evil. Evil will always, inevitably, follow good. So this whole dealing with Abbas instead of Hamas is like sending billions of weapons to Himmler to defeat Hitler: delaying the inevitable and helping them kill us. Israel could abandon all land on earth and take to the sea on giant pontoons and Islammunists would STILL seek them out and wipe them from the earth.

This has never been about land; it has been about life, and the fact that the House of Israel has one. If we don't defeat evil and keep it from us you can be sure that it will defeat us.

Just look at history; one very wicked man is all it has ever taken. And right now, we are overrun with many very wicked men.

Keep the faith, bros, in all things courage, and no substitute for VICTORY.

AUTOPSY--Murdering Freedom

By: Resa LaRu Kirkland

It all began with the following letter that I emailed to Dog's website, and then sent out to my mailing list to rouse support for Duane Chapman:

Dear DOG,

I left a phone message at the following phone number: 808-***-**** for you regarding his use of the word Nigger. (See? The world didn't end...it's just a damn word, the one thing that the Constitution ensures is free for all to use with no restrictions saving those of violence or panic.)

I wrote to you last week regarding your father, as I am a Military Historian whose focus is on the Korean War, and I wanted to know your dad's story. I also write conservative commentary online, known as the WARCHICK, and am good friends with Bob Parks. He, too, is a conservative commentator who cannot stand the enslavement and fear-based power of the leftist blacks.(You should see what his fellow blacks called HIM when he dared to write about their wretched behavior after Katrina. No one covered those words--far worse than Nigger--and Bob somehow survived) There is no one more kind, decent, or intelligent on this subject. He deplores the idea--as we all should!--that in a nation of free speech we inexplicably have words that, if uttered, can cause a man to lose his job, business, home, possessions, and even his freedom. I, too, have written about this and discussed it on my radio show:

http://www.warchick.com/2005/091005.htm

http://www.warchick.com/2005/081505.htm

http://www.warchick.com/2005/092805.htm

Please read these articles. I know, I know, you're busy, but you need to know that there is a whole network of conservatives of all colors out there who are determined to undo the insanity that PC--or as I call it, Political Castration--hath wrought. We have given words such as racist and sexist unreasonable power, and out of the fear of words--mere words, for God's sake!--men will cower from truth and do nothing against the lie. (If you know anything about communism, then you also know that triggering an emotional response in the brain temporarily disarms the logic center of the brain. Stalin enacted it as daily supplements when his brainwashing scientists recommended it as the best way to control the masses. This is also why the left in America is constantly trying to keep you emotionally driven. They know that logic and reason are NOT on their side...they must disarm those areas to keep you fearful and in line.)

Dog, PLEASE, I beg of you, don't hand your balls over to Political Castration. There are many of us who will back you. Tell the Hippy Press to kiss your ass, that you have the right to say whatever damned thing you choose to say and they do NOT have the right to punish you for it. YOU are the one in the right here, NOT THEM.

But worst of all, the Hippy Press has totally missed the point of all of this.

The fact that you were afraid of the word Nigger and the power it has to destroy--as evidenced by your words--should sound as a wake-up call to all Constitution-loving people. The one thing our Founding Fathers wanted to be free to all was speech, as they had come from lands where you could be jailed for saying the "wrong" thing. Their commitment to this was also a nod to the fact that all technologies and progressions can only happen so long as people are free to give voice to them.

The fact that we have allowed a damned word to have the power to destroy a good man is a horrific abomination. PLEASE FIGHT THIS...don't let the femmies, hippies, and commie-bastards take one more bite out of free speech. Not one more bite!

I will help you, along with my group of men and women, whites and blacks, Muslims, Jews, and Christians. You should be furious that a word--A WORD!!!--can cause you to lose your job and all you've worked for. This is a gross violation of the law of the land. A&E has committed a crime against the Constitution by firing you. No word was meant to have this kind of power. It is up to us to end this madness now. DO NOT SUBMIT WHEN YOU'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG! For crying out loud, Duane...those who extend this type of time and energy to a WORD will NEVER survive this war we call LIFE! You and I are made of much stronger stuff than that...it is time to demand that others suck it up and grow a pair as well. We will help you, Dog...please let us before it is too late.

As this letter made the rounds, I watched the around the clock coverage of THE DAY THE DOG DIED. Over the next few weeks we'll have to suffer through Jesse Jackson's bug-eyed mug demanding all whites flog themselves, and after DOG kisses his ass for an hour or two, he'll have to move on to that greasy, smelly, low-rent Jackson we lovingly refer to as Al Sharpton. That's worse news for DOG, however; ever one to try to one-up Jackson, Sharpton's behind won't be the only place DOG will have to kiss.

I'll wait while you shudder.

This kill-the-DOG overkill has left me weary and at the point of enough. I don't know about the rest of you, but it's time for a little free speech, so blacks, whites, and every color in between, brace yourself. I know how fragile we Americans have become, how easily offended and horribly scarred we get from mere words, so grab your pillow and ring up your Mommy--you're about to gasp and suck in more air than a Hoover on crack.

The worst thing you can call a black is Nigger.

Man is getting worse and worse, just as the scriptures predicted. I actually think the worst thing you can call someone is "coward." But words only have the power you give to them, and we have given racist/sexist words unreasonable power. Not even threatening to kick the crap out of someone--a far greater offense and one of the few things not protected by the Constitution--is viewed with so overwhelming an emotional response. I agree it's a negative word, but to call it the worst thing you can call a black person isn't even close. It is a word used with such frequency--hypocritically by blacks themselves--that to give it that kind of power is to keep us constantly emotional, marching, screaming, demanding, and other such hippy fagatronics (Inside Joke--sorry, Andy and Fran!) that now pass for normal.

Everyone knows the feeling of offensive words. Not one soul will ever get through this life without feeling the pains of words, and to say that one word is worse than any other offensive word is to be a respecter of persons, something that Judeo/Christian principles forbid. The thrower of such words is counting on them causing an emotional response rather than a logical and reasonable one. To give him what he wants ensures the victory of a tyrant and the continued life of that word. That word would be gone if it did not invoke such unreasonable power on American society. Remove the absurd power from it and it will shrivel and die.

For a man to fear losing his job, business, possessions, and even his freedom because of a word is beyond hypocrisy--it is evil. That he must now guard private speech is demented. And that we ignore a gross violation of both the law of illegal wire-tapping--apparently it's only wrong when Bush does it to catch Islammunists...glad I now understand this baffling and duplicitous modern-day rule--and the Constitutional violation of free speech has opened the door for a hippy drug-fest free-for-all abandonment of all things legal, holy, and decent.

This is what happened in the world before America was, and what happens now in Islammunist countries. Saying the wrong thing is all it takes to justify destroying you. We have no right to say thing one about those nations and their brutal massacre of freedom when here in America, racist/sexist words are doing the exact same thing.

The Constitution doesn't protect foul names or deliberate hate speech. You can't just hurt someone's feelings!

Wrong. Freedom of Speech was made to cover despicable language, NOT feel-good language. Our Founding Fathers came from nations where speaking anything negative or even perceived as negative--such as speaking truth regarding the church, king, or state--was punishable by confiscatory rights, imprisonment, banishment, or even hanging. They were criminals back in England, their speech labeled "treason," tried in absentia, declared traitors to the crown, and sentenced to death for daring to speak sedition against King George. Should freedom have been halted over the fear of words? Or so King George's feelings wouldn't be hurt?

Controversial speech will always need vigilant protection. To say that a certain word is good or bad is fine; but to use the powers of the government, industry, media, mobs or education to punish an individual for using that word is wrong. I don't like words like "bitch, cracker, snow white, polygamist, racist, Islamophobe, Jew-lover, etc." but I don't throw a tantrum over them, and it would certainly never, ever, EVER occur to me to demand punishment for their use. Why on earth should we make an exception for Nigger?

My people--Mormons--are the only religion in American history that had state-sanctioned torture, murder, and extermination orders. The only one. The names we were called are too numerous to recount, the rapes and murders and stolen property--never recovered, btw--so overwhelming that dwelling on them would cripple us. And still we have persevered, for one reason and one reason only: free will. It is the one area that trumps even unconditional love, for no matter how much our Father adores us, He will NEVER force us to heaven.

(Self defense of freedom, life and property is not forcing, and neither is trial/sentencing in a court of peers. These are acts of defense, so don't start that lame argument! Hippies, I'm looking harshly at you. Watch it or I'll really let you have it by calling you Nigger! I know the horrible power that word has to maim you wimpy types.)

When America did wrong by us, we sighed, buried our dead, abandoned the stolen property, ran for our lives and built up in Utah. When we were followed and harassed, we did it all over again. And when this same country demanded our men in the Mexican/American war--WHICH WE WON, illegals!--and the Civil War, we obeyed. Our land has never been returned; we have slowly been buying parts of it back. Did it hurt us? Damn straight! Were we angry? Of course we were! But that is why those who follow God are taught to wait until anger, fear, hatred, etc. subside and reason returns to make any decisions. Decisions based on emotion--particularly anger, fear, hatred, agitation, etc--are almost always wrong. It is reason that must rule the day when you are dealing with masses of people, NOT emotion. Emotion divides people into groups; it is reason and the willingness to recognize it that unites.

The wise man is slow to take offense, investigating first rather than expending all of that energy on a word of passion. We have become the second fastest word-provoked people on earth--Islam holds first place...for now--and it is a gutless salute to the easily led, easily outraged, and inevitably, the easily conquered.

(If you don't believe the power emotion has, take this simple test. Your wife walks into the house, bloody and battered, and says, "I was just raped!" If you are a normal human male, your first response is ALWAYS going to be, "I'm going to kill the SOB!" But once anger subsides, reason returns and you then say, "Come on, let's get you to the hospital and call the police." Reason is far more likely to obtain justice than emotion. And even when man's law fails--as anything run by man will--reason hands it over to the only one capable of complete and absolute justice: God.)

But common sense dictates that you don't say that word.

I agree; common sense dictates it, NOT government, business, the masses in an uproar, you, or me. If someone chooses not to be dictated to by common sense, however, the most we can do is feel disappointed and hope that someday they will mature. Common sense does NOT support punishment for the use of Nigger or any word in the Land of the Free. The reasons are too numerous--and too commonly known--for me to cover here, and besides, I know that you already know them, which makes this mass DOG pile even more puzzling. We know better than this, and are always quick to vocalize that we are a land of free speech. Our actions are another matter...

But here is the best reason of all--history has proven again and again that that which you enact to restrict against one group will always inevitably be justified against you and your group. The world's past is littered with the decaying corpses of people who decided to limit the freedoms of someone else now only to find themselves in chains later. While it is the word Nigger today, it may be the word Cracker tomorrow. Or Islam. Or commie-bastard. Or God. No unalienable freedom--those given by God and defended by man--has ever been revoked if it was not first qualified or altered.

One of the best examples of this is the unconstitutional tax called Income Tax. When it was introduced the second time after the Supreme Court shot it down in the late 1800's, the reason it was accepted is because it was only going to be used against the super rich, the top 3% in the nation. All of the middle class and poor shouted, "Yeah! Stick it to those rich sonsabitches!" Fools. Had they never allowed that first bite out of the constitution against someone else, we would not have the horrific burden of taxes--now at 60% when you combine all the taxes the average family pays--that is crushing the middle class today. Once that floodgate was opened, it was inevitable that it would swallow everyone.

Should those who are blessed more give more? You bet they should, but as with everything, it should be a choice, not a command. If they choose not to, then sigh and move on, and let them enjoy their reward. They have, after all, doomed their eternity with their worship of the god of lucre, and chosen to take their reward in this life rather than the next.

Giving because you choose to counts; giving because you have no choice doesn't.

Why?

How will you know if you would have given on your own if you were never given the choice to begin with? Being forced to do right emasculates this opportunity, and is contrary to a God who wants us back with Him because we want to be, NOT because we are forced to be.

It is inevitable that more words will be added to the "Forbidden" list, and eventually it will affect words we never intended to keep from speech. We either believe in the choice to use words--any words--or we don't; there simply is no middle ground. The minute you start trying to walk the middle of the road you have taken the first steps AWAY from the side of free speech, and the person who walks the middle of the road is a danger to everyone no matter what side they are on.

The war in heaven was fought between two sides: the side that wanted the freedom to choose to follow--or NOT to follow--Christ into salvation, knowing it could mean many of us would be lost, and the side that wanted to force everyone to do the right thing, guaranteeing that none of us would be lost, but all of us would be subjugated. It is deep within the human race to resent and rebel against any ideology that forces you to do something, even if it's a good thing. That instinct--which crosses all races, religions, and political leanings--is deeply embedded because a part of our souls remembers that before we were born we rejected the religion of force for the religion of free will.

The flip side of freedom is that some people are always going to choose to use that gift from God negatively. It is something that all freedom-loving people accept. The most we as individuals can do is avoid those who choose to violate God's law. But the minute we condone the destruction of another individual for his use of a word we have condemned ourselves; the creeping oppression will inevitably reach us. The war in Heaven has followed us to earth, and demands that we fight here for what we fought for there. That we are even considering embracing force now is madness.

The minute any human starts saying, "People must be forced to..." you need to turn and run; don't walk, RUN! Any plan that forces you to do a thing--even a good thing--is by definition Satanic. If you now use your free will to choose what you once rejected, it may very well be the last time you ever have a choice. Lucifer is, after all, a very bad loser, and so are those who enlist in his cause.

I've used the word Nigger in this article 10 times; I've even highlighted each and every one, and see? You're fine! The world didn't end, the mountains aren't erupting, the stars are still in the heavens, and we are rotating on our axis. It can be done. It requires only a strong core belief in what you claim to believe and eternal vigilance to ensure it remains your core belief.

Remove the ridiculous power we have given that word and move on, trusting that the majority of God's children will and do choose the right. And when some choose wrong, sigh, learn from the pain, thank God for the freedom to choose, and move on. Never forget that the minute you give a word the power to destroy a man's livelihood, freedom, business, and family, you've done more than hurt his feelings--you've stopped his progression and your own, for what begins with one group never ends with that group. It is simply the nature of man.

A word hurting your feelings? For crying out loud, America, grow up, suck it up, and shut up; painful words are the common human condition and you need to learn to deal with them NOW. It is up to freedom's supporter to grow from pain, not use it as a justification for bondage.

Is freedom dead? Yep; and the autopsy labels this one a deliberate, cold-blooded murder.

Nigger. Better say it while you can, Niggers, Chinks, Spics, Wops, Kikes, Gooks, Nips, Micks, smelly-assed camel jockey ragheaded sand monkeys. (Heh, that last one was just for fun; it's my personal favorite. Ahhh...freedom feels good, doesn't it?) Bring it on, ya commie bastards.

One last thought. It is fine with me if we change the definition of "Racist" to "anyone who is white" so long as we can change the word "Criminal" to "anyone who is black."

See how that works?

Keep the faith, bros, in all things courage, and no substitute for VICTORY--or FREEDOM.

LATEST FROM SALMAN KHETANI, FAISAL'S BROTHER

Dear Salman,

I have a quick question for you, and I hope you take it as intended. Given the attacks on America and Israel, it is only reasonable to expect us to question the intentions of those who belong to any group that cries for our destruction.

Can you tell me about this site? Is this standard? How many within the Muslim community support stuff like this:

http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/06/front2454022.0881944443.html

I'm really not trying to be snotty, but these things are legitimate concerns. Thank you for any insight you can give me.

SO SAYS WARCHICK, Resa LaRu Kirkland
Columnist/Writer/Speaker/Military Historian/The Anti-Feminist!
Agree with RESA at: http://www.warchick.com
Hippies, commies, and femmies opinions altered here!!
STAND WITH ISRAEL! FREE NORTH KOREA!!
POW/MIA: Bring them home or send us back!


Hi Resa,
You are right in that we should question and be on the look out for any group
that cries for our destruction. There are religious, geopolitical, social and
economic issues that are all partly to blame for the hatred and destruction
that has been spawned at the start of this century. Lack of education and
homogeneity of populations also play a role (i.e. some have never lived
amongst
anyone but their own kind, who practice the same religion). As you know, my
family and I have been very focused on assimilating well into American society
and educating ourselves. Clearly, the American lives that are being lost in
Iraq and the hatred towards us by these so-called 'Muslims' is very
disturbing,
not just for you, but also for me and my family. I don't want to be subjected
to random suicide attacks, because you and I both know that when these people
kill, they kill without looking to see who is getting hurt. Of course, the
world trade center had people from all over the world.
Your question is very reasonable indeed. I can tell you that as in every
religion, there are liberals, conservatives, people in between and then
ridiculous fanatics. My family and I are liberals in a sense that we believe
Islam, Christianity and Judaism are God's religions and they are to be honored
and respected. Of course, we believe in general tolerance for all
religions. I associate with people of all faiths and in my experience
in America, I have
never met people who want to hurt others. I have met people who have
fundamental ideological differences, but many people can have that without
wanting to kill others.
Resa, clearly there are many people in the world who want to hurt us
Americans. And, it breaks my heart that many of these people are considered
'Muslim'. From my readings and experience, Islam in its core tenets is not
violent and very reasonable. These fanatics have interpreted many
things wrong
and though I don't have enough knowledge to give you a detailed historial and
political explanation, I can say that I have practiced a liberal version of
Islam well while associating with great rapport with Christians, Hindus, Jews,
Muslims and people of other faiths.
I don't know whether many Muslims in US support destruction of others, but in
my experience of 15 years in America, it seems to be a small percentage. I
have no idea what that violent percentage is except that these people have
infiltrated our way of living and peace and should be thoroughly investigated
and expelled. Maybe the percentage is higher when it comes to not supporting
American involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, but I believe that a high
percentage of America in general doesn't support the war and the casualties
that we are experiencing. But, Pakistanis (my country of origin) for instance
are more supportive of the war in Iraq (and hence Allies of America)
since many
from Pakistan don't want any terrorism on their Afghani border and America is
helping them eradicate the violent component.
The site you emailed me about is by no means standard I think. What is
written on it is outrageous! Don't these people want to contribute something
to the world besides death? What is violence going to solve? What is killing
people going to solve? Violence and fighting have existed throughout history,
but where has it gotten us? I advocate for tolerance and great dialogue and I
believe that the Muslims I know advocate the same.
I only want one thing: To be safe, happy and living. If God forbid, in the
future, America is constantly attacked by terrorists, no matter what religion
they claim they are from, we must all join in speaking and acting against the
evil. Peace, goodness and life should matter more to us than anything else.

My answer is probably not very useful to you since I don't know of anyone who
even considers hurting others, but I wanted to give you the opinion of a
liberal Muslim, one who really wants to live peacefully and productively with
people of all faiths and backgrounds.

Salman
