After Republican Senator Phil Gramm had engineered the midnight removal of all regulations and standards from the banking industry and its menagerie of exotic "derivatives" creations in 1999, (which he still maintains strenuously had nothing to do with the present credit collapse,) he retired from the Gubbamint and was hired by UBS at a salary which UBS and Phil Gramm choose not to disclose. One hand washes the other, so to speak, as it has always done down through the sewers of history.<br /><br />Whatever UBS gets, UBS deserves. <br /><br />Unfortunately, Phil Gramm gets nothing, except to keep his salaries, commissions, stock options, perks, expense accounts, and cash, which is no doubt deposited for him in UBS accounts.<br /><br />Possibly, the directoral board of UBS consists of forty members, and Phil Gramm's real name is Ali Baba.<br /><br />Lemuel Gulliver.Lemuel Gullivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-6478431693932636872009-07-14T22:04:04.630-06:002009-07-14T22:04:04.630-06:00Will, again, bless you.

I cannot explain why it is that d...Mr. Wiedenfeld,<br /><br />I cannot explain why it is that down through history Jews have been picked upon by the populations they lived among. Anti-Jewish writings are vast and extensive over the past 2,000 years. Even Shakespeare created the caricature Shylock to represent "The Jew," and many of the Founding Fathers of this country also wrote in highly unfavorable terms about Jews. It was not only the Nazis who felt this way - they just represented the syndrome taken to incomprehensible and spectacular criminal lengths. <br /><br />(I personally believe the Shoah had just as much to do with stealing the money, homes, and property of the Jews of Europe as with hatred of them. A dead rich man has no voice in the disposition of his property. And the Nazi Party was an immense criminal enterprise, which stole gold bullion and diamonds and money and art treasures from conquered nations in vast quantities that would boggle the mind.)<br /><br />We can propose many theories about this phenomenon. Certainly, the writings of many rabbis in the Talmud down through the centuries are even more vicious and derogatory towards Goyim than the writings of all those Goyim towards Jews. Which side started this war of words I do not know. As for which tribe is to blame, the answer might be none of the above - it could be the Khazars, whose existence is denied by some.<br /><br />As I have mentioned before on this blog, the Polish immigrant Jews in Germany, (descendants of the Khazars,) who had fled there from Poland following their treachery to their host country during the battle of Warsaw in 1920, were utterly despised even by the native (as in 300+ years of residence) Jews of Germany, who referred to them as "Galizianer Judenschwein." <br /><br />In the 1920's 300,000 Polish Jews also fled east into Russia, expecting a warm welcome from their hero Uncle Joe Stalin, whose side they had taken in the Battle of Warsaw, but who had them all shot -every one - as soon as they crossed the border.<br /><br />Post-WWII those Polish Jews who had somehow survived the war in Germany (I could make reference to some rodent or insect species, but will refrain,) were so much trouble to the American Occupation Authority that they were rounded up and held in a concentration camp in Hamburg prior to forcible deportation to Palestine from 1945 to 1947. (They have since become the corrupt Zionist criminals who now rule Israel.) Yes indeed - not only did Roosevelt blatantly steal $229 million of Jewish money deposited in America, but America operated the last Jewish concentration camp (but without gas chambers) in Germany. <br /><br />The Polish Jews in Germany could not be sent back to Poland - that was tried, and resulted in Catholic Polish massacres of their returning Jewish countrymen - the last pogroms in history were in Poland in 1946. Today you will find there are more Jews living in Germany, the fountainhead of Nazism, than in the Nazi-conquered nation of Poland. (118,000 vs. 25,000. Even Hungary has more, at 49,000.) Something to wonder at, don't you think? As I said, it was not only the Nazis who felt this way towards those "certain" Jews.<br /><br />However, in conclusion, if I was Jewish, I would make every effort, not only to research every discriminatory atrocity ever perpetrated against my people, and to commemorate these in religious holidays, but to find out WHY it keeps happening again, and again, and again, and again, over thousands of years and across continents, and in places where an entire host of religions have prevailed. What is that for a phenomenon? It is quite astonishing.<br /><br />Yours truly,<br />Lemuel Gulliver.Lemuel Gullivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-5861708118384233012009-07-14T04:03:24.532-06:002009-07-14T04:03:24.532-06:00These figures are from my Casey Investment newslet...These figures are from my Casey Investment newsletter:<br /><br />==================================<br />Simone Wapler compared government debt to government gold. The United States has gold worth about $241 billion, she reports. Its official national debt is $11.5 trillion. That gives it a debt/gold ratio of 48 – meaning; the feds have 48 times as much debt as gold.<br /> <br />Britain is even worse. Prime Minister, then Chancellor, Gordon Brown sold much of England's gold at the worst possible moment – about 10 years ago. This leaves the island with only $9 billion worth of gold compared to $1,274 <br />billion of government debt – a ratio of 1 to 139. <br /><br />But Japan is the worst of all. It has $23 billion worth of gold and $7.3 trillion of government debt, for a ratio of 1 to 323. (Of course, Japan has vast holdings of dollars too!)<br /> <br />What nation has the best gold/debt ratio? Switzerland. It has only twice as much in government debt as it has in gold. <br />===================================<br /><br />Lemuel GulliverLemuel Gullivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-42550280718784489672009-07-13T18:44:48.012-06:002009-07-13T18:44:48.012-06:00I largely agree with Mr. Gulliver's point that...I largely agree with Mr. Gulliver's point that the political exploitation, financial extortion and 'victimization' culture that emanated from the Shoah industry as ably documented by Norman Finkelstein in his book "The Holocaust Industry" has tainted the memory of the unspeakable, horrible WWII democide, but I'm still a little uneasy about comments like "Certain Jews are equal opportunity embezzlers...".<br /><br />Regarding those fiendish "certain Jews", is it due to the genes of a certain Israelite tribe? The Danites? The Reubenites? Maybe it's those treacherous Gadites, or is it due to the genetic descendants of the Levitical priesthood who bear the surname 'Cohen'.<br /> <br />One rarely hears, if ever, such comments as "certain Brits are equal opportunity embezzlers", or "pay strict attention to certain Chinese, for they are equal opportunity swindlers" or the universal admonition to be on the lookout for "certain Buddhists who are equal opportunity cheats and liars who are known to have treated co-religionists and foreigners with equal guile and contempt."<br /> <br />I certainly don't deny that many Jewish people have committed heinous crimes against persons and property, and I don't deny that the Israeli leadership is corrupt, but this can be generally said about other ethnic groups and their government leadership as well. It's as if those Hebrews, as characterized by the ethno-centrically fixated Zionist watchdogs, have some kind of preternatural monopoly on all that is unholy and evil. What is it about "the Jews" that elicits such disproportionate responses above and beyond all other ethnic groups? <br /><br />I suppose I may be a tad bit too sensitive, but 'Group Think' and the collectivist mindset, whether based on economic class or race, has become -how did Will Grigg once word it- a pestiferous <br />irritation between my teeth and gums. <br /><br />P.S. Another "clear sighted and honest Jew" -I know; it's extremely rare. Right?- is Benjamin Ginsberg who wrote the insightful tome entitled "The Fatal Embrace: The Jews And The State". I recommend it....unless, for some inexplicable reason, you don't trust me. <br /><br />-Ari Weidenfeld<br /> Seattle,WAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-88123687280788154692009-07-13T17:32:57.232-06:002009-07-13T17:32:57.232-06:00I'm not sure that the objective behind the sha...I'm not sure that the objective behind the shake-down was to bring about a new Swiss constitution and the end of the franc's link to gold.

Finkelstein, whose mother is an Auschwitz survivor and has the tattoo on her arm to prove it. Out of the $80 billion or so in reparations paid by the German Government to Israel and various Holocuast survivor organizations, his mother has received only about $1,000. This is the editorial review of Finkelstein's book from Amazon.com:<br /><br />===================================<br /><br />"This iconoclastic study was one of the most widely debated books of 2000. Finkelstein indicts with both vigor and honesty those who exploit the tragedy of the Holocaust for their own personal political and financial gain. In a devastating new postscript to this best-selling book, Norman G. Finkelstein documents the Holocaust industry's scandalous cover-up of the blackmail of Swiss banks, and in a new appendix demolishes an influential apologia for the Holocaust industry. <br />In an iconoclastic and controversial new study, Norman G. Finkelstein moves from an interrogation of the place the Holocaust has come to occupy in American culture to a disturbing examination of recent Holocaust compensation agreements. It was not until the Arab-Israeli War of 1967, when Israel's evident strength brought it into line with US foreign policy, that memory of the Holocaust began to acquire the exceptional prominence it enjoys today. Leaders of America's Jewish community were delighted that Israel was now deemed a major strategic asset and, Finkelstein contends, exploited the Holocaust to enhance this newfound status. Their subsequent interpretations of the tragedy are often at variance with actual historical events and are employed to deflect any criticism of Israel and its supporters. Recalling Holocaust fraudsters such as Jerzy Kosinski and Binjamin Wilkomirski, as well as the demagogic constructions of writers like Daniel Goldhagen, Finkelstein contends that the main danger posed to the memory of Nazism's victims comes not from the distortions of Holocaust deniers but from prominent, self-proclaimed guardians of Holocaust memory. Drawing on a wealth of untapped sources, he exposes the double shakedown of European countries as well as legitimate Jewish claimants, and concludes that the Holocaust industry has become an outright extortion racket. Thoroughly researched and closely argued, The Holocaust Industry is all the more disturbing and powerful because the issues it deals with are so rarely discussed."<br /><br />==================================<br /><br />All those tens of billions have disappeared into lavish institutional salaries for wives and girlfriends and children of the principal professional whiners and coprogenetics in the Jewish Holocaust Industry, into study trips to Tahiti to assess how non-Holocaust survivors live, into infrastructure for Jewish settlements in the Palestinian territories, and into arms for the settlers.<br /><br />In case there was any doubt in anyone's mind, the Bernie Madoff saga has confirmed the thesis of this book: Certain Jews are equal-opportunity embezzlers: They will steal from their own people just as readily as from non-Jews, even from their own mothers, children, widows, orphans, the sick, and the poor.<br /><br />I read recently that a survey was done this year in 60 countries, to find out which country was viewed as the most corrupt by its OWN citizens. The hands-down winner: Israel.<br /><br />At least SOME Jews have a clear-sighted and honest view of their own people. However, the luxury of an honest opinion is denied to non-Jews, such as Jimmy Carter, Desmond Tutu, John Mearsheimer, and Stephen Walt.<br /><br />Lemuel GulliverLemuel Gullivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-82963981041022660922009-07-11T18:27:01.134-06:002009-07-11T18:27:01.134-06:00"Coprogenetic" to describe Edgar Bronfma..."Coprogenetic" to describe Edgar Bronfman.
