I do realize that many people, especially Germans, might be offended by the title of this article. I know that one, especially writers, should think twice before calling the elected leader of a respectable country a "political whore."
I absolutely have no intention to offend or denigrate the Great German nation. None the less, one has to be honest to one's conscience especially when the subject matter has to do with the willful extermination by the Judeo-Nazi state of Israel of innocent civilians, including many children. During a pro-Israeli rally on Sunday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel vowed to fight "anti-Semitism," an apparent red herring meant to distract attention from the recent Israeli holocaust in Gaza.
"Germany will do all it can to fight anti-Semitism," Merkel said in a speech on Sunday, following a surge of anti-Israeli feelings following the manifestly genocidal Israeli blitz against Gaza, which killed and maimed thousands of Palestinians, mostly innocent civilians, and destroyed some 50,000 thousand homes and housing units.

It's longstanding Israeli policy. Palestinians aren't wanted. Israel considers them subhuman.
It wants them eliminated. It wants Jewish exclusivity. It wants maximum Jews and minimum Arabs.
Israel's entire history is blood-drenched. Depravity defines it. It's longstanding genocidal war on Palestine reflects it.
In 1985, then Israeli president Chaim Herzog said:
"We are certainly not willing to make partners of the Palestinians in any way in a land that was holy to our people for thousands of years. There can be no partner with the Jews of this land."
Former Israeli military leader Moshe Dayan urged treating Palestinians like dogs.
They're denied fundamental human and civil rights. Israel spurns peace and stability. Militarized occupation harshness persists.

Claims otherwise are false. A previous article explained. It said 43 IDF reservists and former army intelligence members published an open letter.
They addressed Netanyahu and top military officials. They denounced Israeli high crimes against peace. They condemned longstanding collective punishment.
They henceforth refuse to serve. They want no part of Israel's killing machine. They kept their identities secret to avoid recrimination. One of the letter signatories said separately:
"Some of (the things Israel's 8200 intelligence unit do) are supposed to protect us from violence, but some of it is just destroying Palestinian society, preventing them from improving their lives in any way."

America is on the verge of another "Crusade". Of course they are not telling us this directly, but the mass media has lined up its "polls" and has concluded that 90% of Americans want to defeat ISIS or ISIL or IS (whatever). The reason for this is because of the beheadings of two Americans and a Brit. Understandable, right?
I guess if you believe what the media tells you, you really can't be faulted for being outraged. When I saw the first video, I too, was incensed. It is pretty hard not to be outraged. Still, the longer I think about it, the more I wonder about some of the things America has done in Iraq and the rest of the area.

President Mahmoud Abbas and the Fatah movement, which he commands, have unleashed a media campaign against Hamas and the resistance. If pressure from the Palestinian public fails to stop the campaign, Abbas may achieve politically what Israel failed to achieve militarily: forcing the Palestinian presidency to choose “peace with Israel” over national reconciliation.
It appears that President Abbas has, indeed, prioritised “peace with Israel.” He has devised plans for resuming negotiations, and is still banking on American support for such talks. This is the only explanation for the current anti-Hamas media campaign.

New EU sanctions target Russian finance, energy and defense sectors.
They restrict state-owned energy giants Rosneft, Transneft and Gazprom Neft (its oil subsidiary) from raising capital in European markets.
They prohibit buying their 30-day yield bonds and equities of any kind.
Five state-owned banks were targeted. They include Sberbank, VTB, Gazprombank, Vnesheconombank (VEB) and Rosselkhozbank.
They're prohibited from raising capital in EU markets. Purchasing newly issued bonds and other securities with maturities over 30 days are banned.

The Russell Tribunal (RT) is an activist peace organization. It's known as the International War Crimes Tribunal.
It condemns America's permanent war agenda. It opposes New World Order extremism. Its members include academics, intellectuals and artists.
It's inspired by the BRussells Tribunal. It was named after after famed philosopher/mathematician/anti-war/anti-imperialism activist Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970).
He warned many years ago:
"Shall we put an end to the human race, or shall mankind renounce war" and live in peace. There's no in between.
Previous tribunals investigated war crimes in Vietnam, Iraq and Palestine. Others examined human rights abuses in Latin America and psychiatry.

Operation Protective Edge is the latest example. Hard facts explain best. Listing them all requires volumes. A snapshot follows below.
On September 14, the Gaza City-based Palestinian Centre for Human Rights updated Palestinian Operation Protective Edge (OPE) casualties:
Total deaths: 2,188
Other reports exceed 2,200.
Total wounded: 10,895
Other reports exceed 11,000
Total civilians killed: 1,658 (75.7%)

… it's their nature. The United Kingdom (UK) Treasury and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) were caught red handed trying to scare Scottish voters into voting No on independence in the September 18 referendum (HeraldScotland). The two government organizations did so using confidential information about the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) obtained by the UK Treasury. Based on this insider government information from Treasury, BBC then ran a story (Sep 11) about RBS leaving Scotland before the RBS board decided on its announcement. This had the clear effect of embarrassing the independence movement by showing that a major bank was leaving Scotland, which fed other scare tactics about Scotland suffering should voters choose independence and freedom.

In the fiction serial X Files, the three characters known as the Lone Gunmen are very loose, fictional representations of true-to-life Mae Brussell (May 29, 1922 – October 3, 1988). Mae was a radio personality sometimes written up almost solely as a JFK assassination conspiracy theorist, but there are many other articles both by and about Mae Brussell.
How Nixon Actually Got Into Power, THE SLA IS THE CIA, and the must-read Operation Chaos and the Assassination of John Lennon are just a few of her works aside from the John F. Kennedy Killing.
Mae Brussell read numerous newspapers, magazines and circulars she subscribed to from the government printing office. Government officials often listened to her broadcasts and subscribed to her mimeographs. Project Camelot, the Nazi Connection to the John F. Kennedy Assassination, and From Monterey Pop to Altamont. OPERATION CHAOS: The CIA's War Against the Sixties Counter-Culture is more Mae Brussell must-reads.
