Erekat Wakes up to the Peace Swindle - Abbas Still in Cloud Cuckoo Land

None of this is new or surprising; it's standard stuff and should be unobjectionable, supported as it is by UN resolutions (unimplemented) and international law (unenforced).

No Brain Transplant for Ariel Sharon, Rest in Agony

As it was the truth in '06, it's just as true today. The crook Ariel Sharon was assassinated by a gang run by today's Israeli President, Shimon Peres.

(ST AUGUSTINE) - Ariel Sharon and George Bush As Ariel Sharon loses his battle for a brain transplant, writers of my acquaintance like Rachel Neuwirth, Susan Rosenbluth, Prof. Paul Eidelberg et al, are distributing a research piece more than hinting that Sharon was executed by fellow gangster, Pres. Shimon Peres.

Ms. Neuwirth said, “The apparent reality is that Israel’s government is a cesspool of corruption and treason. Its prime minister appears willing to place his people in mortal peril by destroying their national security, unity, and morale...”

I didn’t find out about this important decision until today (January 4). The western media, including left-wing web sights, has been silent or ignorant of this.
