Israel burned for Hanukkah

Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem in 164 B.C. According to tradition, a candelabra was lit with only enough oil for one day, but it miraculously burned for eight days. ...

'Fire is God punishing Israel for occupying Arab lands'

The present policy of benign false flag terrorism began with the Air Force One fly-over of lower Manhattan on April 27, 2009. It then continued over the course of the first two years of the Obama administration with numerous botched and intercepted terrorist attacks. The policy is to achieve political and economic goals by exploiting fear without culling casualties.

A case in point: the Christmas day underwear bomber, contributing to the economic goals of the scanner industry.

Lately there has been a good deal of public backlash on this front, with many travellers vowing to go "pre-Wright Bros." It almost seems as if the purposes were to quash travel and kill the commercial airline industry. But some have speculated that the ultimate purpose of the outrages in airports is to generate public support for a biometric ID program, replacing one physically invasive security procedure with an unnoticeable, but more penetrating interrogation.

But the most recent botched attacks indicate that a greater purpose is to dominate commerce itself.

First it was the Yemen-sent package bombs, intercepted and identified of their blatant addressees: Chicago synagogues. Now this: Germany on high alert; Namibian fake bomb suspect arrested

The opportunity arising from this scare is seized by the interests of a TSA program directed towards the shipping industry.

This Time The World

Let men say what they will, I say that as surely as the sun in the heavens once shone upon Britain and America united, so surely is it one morning to rise, to shine upon, to greet again the reunited states—the British-American Union.

-Andrew Carnegie, as quoted in...

REMARKS
of
HON. J. THORKELSON
OF MONTANA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Monday, August 19.1940

To expand upon these remarks, it might be said that in the 20th Century, following World War II, the British Empire went bloodied but unbowed in relinquishing direct control over much of its colonial territory while retaining a "merely" nominal claim on its commonwealth. Britain's imperial ambition retreated into a state of latency. Of late, however, there have been some audacious indications of a desire that this latency should end...

William Hague has outlined the Government's vision of Britain's role in the world, promising a sweeping overhaul of foreign policy aimed at expanding the country's influence to every inhabited continent.

And so just following the United States 234th annual celebration of independence, Elizabeth II came to the United States in order to address the United Nations, of which, it is noted, she "nominally" holds a considerable fraction.

The significance of this speech is examined in a rant of Joan M. Veon at Rense...

...the physical structure of the United Nations and its agenda represents the completion of the dream and aspirations of British aristocrat Cecil Rhodes to return the United States and the rest of the world back under British rule. He felt that "too little of the globe was British territoryand if we had retained Americathere would be millions more of English living."

In Rhode's 1877 will, it says

"the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British Empire, the consolidation of the whole Empire, the inauguration of a system of colonial Representation in the Imperial Parliament which may tend to weld together the disjointed Members of the Empire," which may well ultimately be achieved, by the Roundtable which "publicized the idea of and the name `British Commonwealth of Nations.'"

Oftentimes, nowadays, Americans behave as if they are the Queen's subjects. The "special relationship" of the "USUK" has entangled the two in more than a few foreign mis-adventures, most recently of course in Iraq & Afghanistan. Then there is the accusation of Lyndon LaRouche that President Obama is in fact a British agent. On the cultural side, take a look at federally tax-funded public television, and note how much of its programming is of boring British fare.

On a more symbolical level, however, we have this recent addition to the skyline of Cincinnati, a Mid-West city named after a military society of veterans of the American Revolution, but sometimes known as the "Queen City"...

Workers will soon place the crowning tiara atop the Queen City Tower.

The "Grand Tiara" will be hoisted into place Tuesday by cranes to the highest point on the $322 million downtown skyscraper.

The 15,000-pound steel structure is intended as a tribute to the late Princess Diana.

Princess Diana has been in the news in other respects lately...

Then there is the performance of Lady Gaga before the Queen Elizabeth late last year, where she had planned to commit virtual self-immolation before Her Majesty, as she had done at the MTV music awards to the song Paparazzi. Indeed, such a performance would have been intensely scandalous, especially in light of the circumstances of Diana's death (hounded as she was by the paparazzi). In any case, Lady Gaga met the Queen dressed as her predecessor, but in blood-red latex, like a pelican suffocating in red crude...

The British Empire Answers the Tea Party of Boston Harbor, 1773

Queen Elizabeth I - The Pelican Portrait

In this portrait of the queen, aged about 41, she is treated almost like a religious icon. Elaborate symbolism and rich detail show off her status and royal qualities... The mother pelican on her brooch is a traditional Christian symbol of Christ's sacrifice. It was believed that the pelican fed her young with her own blood...

Queen Bess Island pelican rookery affected by oil

(June 3, 2010) Today, driven by strong winds and weather, oil impacted the Queen Bess Island Pelican Rookery which resulted in 60 birds, including 41 pelicans being coated with oil...

And so it was precisely on Queen Elizabeth II's 84th birthday, April 21st 2010, 3AM Greenwich Mean Time, that an explosion occurred on British Petroleum's Deepwater Horizon...

The Queen was born at 2.40am on 21 April 1926 at 17 Bruton Street in Mayfair, London.

The rig was in the Mississippi Canyon area of the Gulf of Mexico when the blast occurred at 10 p.m. CDT Tuesday (0300 GMT Wednesday).

Subsequently, millions upon millions of gallons of crude oil have been spilled into the Gulf. This then is the British retort to the Boston Tea Party of 1773. 237 years separate these events, yet they both implicate differing forms of corporate welfare. The former was a rejection of the favorable tax policy instituted on behalf of the East India Company, which had been given a monopoly of tea importation to the American colonies...

In an effort to prop up the financially troubled East India Company, Parliament passed the Tea Act, granting it a virtual monopoly over the British tea market and allowing direct sales access to the colonies (colonial merchants were cut out of the loop entirely). As a consequence, East India Company tea cost the least of any available tea, foreign or domestic. Following the retention of the 3 pence Townshend duty on tea in 1770, colonists had generally boycotted British brands, turning instead to contraband Dutch brews. An estimated 90 percent of all tea consumed in the colonies was of the Dutch variety, so patriots could sip cheaply while avoiding the despised revenue duty altogether. Now, even with the Townshend duty added, East India tea remained the least expensive. Because the tax seemed "hidden" in this manner, colonists viewed the Tea Act as an underhanded way to foist the tax, and Parliamentary taxation power, onto the colonies.

In 2010, though not a monopoly, BP is the leading producer of oil and natural gas in the United States and the largest investor in U.S. energy development. As such, BP stood to receive the greatest benefit from the 2005 Energy Policy Act, which gave tax and royalty relief to companies drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, as reported in the L.A.Times article: Oil companies have a rich history of U.S. subsidies.

Moreover, BP stands to recieve corporate welfare as a result of the situation it has created in the Gulf. Hans Bader explains in OpenMarket.org...

President Obama, the biggest recipient of campaign cash from BP, is using BP’s oil spill to push for a global warming bill that is chock full of corporate welfare and environment-destroying ethanol subsidies. And the bill is one crafted by lobbyists for big companies like BP: “For years, BP has lobbied for climate change legislation, until recently running around with the U.S. Climate Action Partnership.”

Obama Baits Civil War

Since the beginning of his presidential bid (Wilmette), Obama has frequently implied self-comparisons and invited media-assisted comparisons (Newsweek, CBS, L.A. Times) to Lincoln. Now, in a Christian Science Monitor headline, we find another point of similarity: States Rebel Against Washington

With the passage and signing of the "ObamaCare" bill, the states - beginning with Virginia - have been moved to assert the rights of their citizens over the federal law, particularly on the issue of the individual mandate.

Speaker Pelosi's butchering of the words of that venerable Virginian, Thomas Jefferson, warrant special attention. In a disgusting paraphrase from the Declaration of Independence, she said:

...we will honor the vows of our founders, who in the Declaration of Independence said that we are ‘endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’ This legislation will lead to healthier lives, more liberty to pursue hopes and dreams and happiness for the American people.


But, if delivered with honesty, here is how the speech would have went...

Herewith is established a C change in American sovereignty. Now with this act of Congress - however shamefully it was executed - the Federal Government now has a stake in the maintenance of the very bodies of each and every one of the U.S. citizenry. Henceforth, the citizen is a subject, on this most fundamental level. People of America, go to hellth with your unalienable rights. Your life is a ward of the state. Your happiness consists in the pursuit of hellth insurance. Your are at liberty to choose government sanctioned hellth care.

Never mind the Constitution. The Declaration of Independence is Null and Void!
