Dershvitzing Over Carter

Posted by alex in double standards, jew-led smear campaigns, jewed foreign policy, jewish hate & hypocrisy at 7:07 pm | Permanent Link

Hysterical jew insists that Carter is bought. Of course, when Carter and we point to the purchasers of Congress, we’re anti-semites. Having everything both ways is pretty much the essence of judaism, a religio-racial scam.

Great Truths, Revealed Unwittingly

Ex-President For Sale (Dershowitz on Carter)

Posted on 01/10/2007 7:35:04 AM PST by Dark Skies
It now turns out that Jimmy Carter–who is accusing the Jews of buying the silence of the media and politicians regarding criticism of Israel–has been bought and paid for by Arab money. In his recent book tour to promote Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, Carter has been peddling a particularly nasty bit of bigotry. The canard is that Jews own and control the media, and prevent newspapers and the broadcast media from presenting an objective assessment of the Arab-Israeli conflict, and that Jews have bought and paid for every single member of Congress so as to prevent any of them from espousing a balanced position. How else can anyone understand Carter’s claims that it is impossible for the media and politicians to speak freely about Israel and the Middle East? The only explanation – and one that Carter tap dances around, but won’t come out and say directly – is that Jews control the media and buy politicians. Carter then presents himself as the sole heroic figure in American public life who is free of financial constraints to discuss Palestinian suffering at the hands of the Israelis.

Listen carefully to what Carter says about the media: the plight of the Palestinians is “not something that has been acknowledged or even discussed in this country… You never hear anything about what is happening to the Palestinians by the Israelis.” He claims to have personally “witnessed and experienced the severe restraints on any free and balanced discussion of the facts.” He implies that the Jews impose these “severe restraints.” He then goes on to say that the only reason his book–which has been universally savaged by reviewers–is receiving such negative reviews is because they are all being written by “representatives of Jewish organizations” (demonstrably false!). So much for the media.

Now here is what he says about politicians:

“It would be almost politically suicidal for members of Congress to espouse a balanced position between Israel and Palestine, to suggest that Israel comply with international law or to speak in defense of justice or human rights for Palestinians. Very few would ever deign to visit the Palestinian cities of Ramallah, Nablus, Hebron, Gaza City or even Bethlehem and talk to the beleaguered residents.”

Each of these claims is demonstrably false, as I have shown in detail elsewhere. The plight of the Palestinians has been covered more extensively, per capita, than the plight of any other group in the world, certainly more than the Tibetans and the victims of genocides in Darfur and Rwanda. Moreover, Carter totally ignores the impact of Arab oil money and the influence of the Saudi lobby. In numerous instances where the Arab lobbies have been pitted against the Israeli lobby, the former has prevailed.

Even beyond these nasty canards, the big story that the media and political figures in America have missed is how grievously they, themselves have been insulted and disrespected by our self-righteous former president. Carter is lecturing The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, CNN, and the major networks about how they are incapable of reporting the news objectively because they are beholden to some Jewish cabal. He is telling Pulitzer Prize winning writers such as Tom Friedman and Samatha Power that they did not deserve their prizes. He is telling George Will that his reporting is controlled by his Jewish bosses (sound a little bit like Judith Regan?). And he is denying that Anderson Cooper is capable of filing an honest report from the West Bank.

As far as our legislators are concerned, he is accusing Barack Obama, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Patrick Leahy of being bought and paid for by the Israeli lobby. On Planet Carter, even congressmen with no Jewish constituents would be committing political suicide by taking a balanced position on the Middle East. What an outrageous insult to some of the best journalists and most independent political figures in the world.

At the bottom, Carter is saying that no objective journalist or politician could actually believe that America’s support for Israel is based on moral and strategic considerations and not on their own financial self-interest. Such a charge is so insulting to every honest legislator and journalist in this country that I am amazed that Carter has been let off the hook so easily. Only the self-righteous Jimmy Carter is capable of telling the truth, because only he is free of financial pressures that might influence his positions.

It now turns out that the shoe is precisely on the other foot. Recent disclosures prove that it is Carter who has been bought and paid for by anti-Israel Arab and Islamic money.

Journalist Jacob Laksin has documented the tens of millions of dollars that the Carter Center has accepted from Saudi Arabian royalty and assorted other Middle Eastern sultans, who, in return, Carter dutifully praised as peaceful and tolerant (no matter how despotic the regime). And these are only the confirmed, public donations.

Carter has also accepted half a million dollars and an award from Sheik Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan, saying in 2001: “This award has special significance for me because it is named for my personal friend, Sheik Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan.” This is the same Zayed, the long-time ruler of the United Arab Emirates, whose $2.5 million gift to the Harvard Divinity School was returned in 2004 due to Zayed’s rampant Jew-hatred. Zayed’s personal foundation, the Zayed Center, claims that it was Zionists, rather than Nazis, who “were the people who killed the Jews in Europe” during the Holocaust. It has held lectures on the blood libel and conspiracy theories about Jews and America perpetrating Sept. 11.

Another journalist, Rachel Ehrenfeld, in a thorough and devastating article on “Carter’s Arab Financiers,” meticulously catalogues Carter’s ties to Arab moneymen, from a Saudi bailout of his peanut farm in 1976, to funding for Carter’s presidential library, to continued support for all manner of Carter’s post-presidential activities. For instance, it was the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI), founded in Pakistan and fronted by a Saudi billionaire, Gaith Pharaon, that helped Carter start up his beloved Carter Center. According to Ehrenfeld:

“BCCI’s origins were primarily ideological. [Agha Hasan] Abedi wanted the bank to reflect the supra-national Muslim credo and ‘the best bridge to help the world of Islam, and the best way to fight the evil influence of the Zionists.’

As Ehrenfeld concluded:

“[I]t seems that AIPAC’s real fault was its failure to outdo the Saudi’s purchases of the former president’s loyalty. There has not been any nation in the world that has been more cooperative than Saudi Arabia,” The New York Times quoted Mr. Carter June 1977, thus making the Saudis a major factor in U. S. foreign policy. ”Evidently, the millions in Arab petrodollars feeding Mr. Carter’s global endeavors, often in conflict with U.S. government policies, also ensure his loyalty.”

It is particularly disturbing that a former president who has accepted dirty blood-money from dictators, anti-Semites, Holocaust deniers, and supporters of terrorism should try to deflect attention from his own conflicts of interest by raising the oldest canard in the sordid history of anti-Semitism: namely, that Jews have dual loyalty and use their money improperly to influence the country they live in, in favor of the country to which they owe their real allegiance. Abraham Foxman responded to Carter’s canard as follows:

As disturbing as Carter’s simplistic approach is, however, even more disturbing is his picking up on the Mearsheimer -Walt theme of Jewish control of American policy, though in much more abbreviated form and not being the focus of his work. Referring to U.S. policy and the “condoning” of Israel’s actions, Carter says: “There are constant and vehement political and media debates in Israel concerning its policies in the West Bank but because of powerful political, economic, and religious forces in the U.S., Israeli government decisions are rarely questioned or condemned, voices from Jerusalem dominate our media, and most American citizens are unaware of circumstances in the occupied territories.” In other words, the old canard and conspiracy theory of Jewish control of the media, Congress, and the U.S. government is rearing its ugly head in the person of a former President.

As noted above, the most perverse aspect of Carter’s foray into bigotry is that as he pours this old wine into new bottles he is himself awash in Arab money. When a politician levels these kinds of cynical accusations against others, it would seem incumbent on him to show that his own hands are clean and his own pockets empty.

Accordingly I now call upon Carter to make full public disclosure of all of his and the Carter Center’s ties to Arab money. If he fails to do so, I challenge the media to probe deeply into his, his family’s, and his Center’s Arab ties so that the public can see precisely the sources and amounts of money he has received and judge whether it has corrupted the process of objective reportage and politics by Carter and others who have received such funds. Finally, I ask the appropriate government agencies to conduct an investigation into whether Carter should be required to register as a lobbyist for foreign interests.

Let’s stop invoking discredited ethnic stereotypes, look at the hard facts, and actually see who’s being bought and sold.

      Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid

      ANTI-SEMITIC REACTIONS TO JIMMY CARTER’S BOOK

      Many scholars and experts on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have strongly criticized Jimmy Carter�s book, �Palestine Peace Not Apartheid,� for its distortions, misrepresentations, and one-sided arguments that blame Israel for the conflict while giving the Palestinians a pass. Yet the book is being widely celebrated in the Arab and Muslim press and in online white supremacist forums for its anti-Israel, conspiratorial and anti-Semitic propaganda value.

      Writers in newspapers across the Arab and Muslim world have used the book�s reception in the West as a means to further conspiratorial views of Jewish power, with some citing Carter�s accusation that the �Israel Lobby� in the U.S. stifles debate as an affirmation of their belief of �Jewish control� of the U.S. government. Many of the commentaries are virulently anti-Semitic, focusing on the alleged power of Jews by claiming that Zionists are able to suppress criticism of Israel and questions about the reality of the Holocaust. Several articles portrayed President Carter as a hero for going up against such odds.

      Some white supremacists in the United States have embraced the message of Carter�s book, pointing to criticism by supporters of Israel as confirmation of their anti-Semitic notions of Jewish power. As a result, various white supremacist and neo-Nazi online forums have hailed Carter�s book in diatribes laced with anti-Semitic invective.

      The following is a sampling of reactions from the Arab and Muslim world:

      Muslim and Arab Press

      “Former American President Jimmy Carter offered new criticism of the racist Israeli policies in his last book where he stressed ‘that the Palestinians are more exposed to racial discrimination than were the Africans in South Africa during the Apartheid regime…’”

      “…Carter attributes ‘the deep impediment to criticizing Israeli policy’ in the United States to the overwhelming activity of the pro-Israel lobby…”

      “We find a link in this context between President Carter’s book and the charges of anti-Semitism against him [and] charges of anti-Semitism in general and researchers who seek to reveal the facts about the Jewish ‘Holocaust’…since anyone researching into Israeli violations and war crimes against the Palestinian people…and anyone examining the Holocaust, attempting to deny it and criticize it, is convicted as a racist and an anti-Semitic by Israeli and American lobbies…

      “We might see the former American President Carter in court accused of anti-Semitism, even though Israel is a state of terrorism, crime and racism…and they attack anyone doubting the Holocaust or criticizing Israeli terrorism and crimes with the charge of anti-Semitism, racism and terrorism…imagine that?!… until when will the world remain a hostage of the Holocaust, anti-Semitism and terrorism scarecrow? Tehran took a great bold step on Monday which will be always remembered… organizing a special conference to delve into the facts of the Jewish Holocaust… doing so, it penetrated the Holocaust wall and barrier for the first time in six decades.”
      — Ad-Dustur- Jordan, “Israel Calls on the Anti-Semitism Scarecrow; Carter is the Target,” Nawaf al-Zaru, December 17, 2006.

      “Palestine Peace not Apartheid, which evoked resentment in the current Zionist administration and a counter campaign on behalf the Jewish lobby, conveyed remorse for the flawed political and diplomatic behavior of the American presidents concerning the region in general and towards the Palestinian people in particular…

      “This criticism might be political suicide, with Carter’s acknowledgement of how much influence the Zionist lobby has in the United States, which immediately described Carter’s book of being anti-Semitic.”
      — Tishrin – Syria, “Important Remarks, but!” Omar Jaftile, December 11, 2006.

      “Isn’t it odd that the West with all of its powerful nations, economical might and academic glory remains a prisoner for more than 60 years to a Jewish nation consistent of only 12 million people?

      “The storm of criticism facing the former American President Jimmy Carter over the past few weeks for daring to speak the truth about the Judaism of Israel is not the first of its kind…and will not be the last; before [the Jews] opened fire on the French philosopher Garaudy and the British historian Irving…

      “The question remains: why and until when will Europe and the United States as nations and governments submit to the extortion of a Jewish minority?”
      — Al-Bayan- UAE, “The Jews and the West,” Ahmad Amrabi, December 14, 2006.

      “The American Jews and Zionists moved forward with their known intellectual terrorism that they have spread all over the American arena and on the entire world, especially in Europe, where they condemn anyone opposing Israel or even criticizing it to political assassination.”
      — Ar-Rai- Jordan, “Read Jimmy’s Carter Article…and Look for his book,” Mohammad Kharob, December 10, 2006.

      “Carter says in his book that what is occurring in Palestine is a kind of racial separation similar to what was done in South Africa before the regime collapsed…this is an honest accusation…

      “Israel is duplicating between Arabs and Jews the apartheid regime, which is a regime that was scorned by the entire world …this man [Carter] is no doubt able to face a grand campaign which he will be exposed to from the Zionists.”
      — Al-Watan- Qatar, “A Righteous Word from Carter,” Raja al-Naqash, December 12, 2006.

      “Carter breaks the wall of fear of assault by the Israeli lobbies inside American society…

      “The Israeli lobbies in America did not hesitate of course in leveling accusations, and they even reached the point of accusing Carter of high treason.”
      — Al-Bayan- UAE, “A Late Conscience Awake,” Mejde Shinde, December 12, 2006.

      “The publication of President Jimmy Carter’s book about Palestine was a such a joyous surprise, as was its recognition the facts for the first time….

      “Jimmy Carter…published his book to safeguard Israel [and] the future of peace in the region and the world as a whole…

      “It is an honor for Jimmy Carter and the magnificent American people who gave birth to him, to restore and admit the facts even though he is late…

      “I don’t know why western scholars disapprove of the Nazi Holocaust which was inflicted on the honorable Jewish people but don’t also condemn, first, the Palestinian Holocaust and, second, the Lebanese [Holocaust]. They should know that the State of Israel will not be guaranteed legitimacy in the region if it doesn’t apologize to the Palestinian people the way the German people apologized to the Jews for their deeds during World War Two.”
      — Ash-Sharq Al-Awsat- London Based Saudi Daily, “Carter’s Awake: Did the Western Moral Conscience Wakeup?” Hashim Salah, December 12, 2006.

      “It is suicidal, I was told, for politicians, writers, journalists, professors and even students, to ask the wrong questions about Almighty Israel. You may deny the existence of God, if you wish, but you will be crucified if you doubt the right of Israel to exist.” According to Batarfi, the “Israel Lobby” is unlike other American pressure groups, since “they fight and pressure not for the good of the American nation, but for that of a foreign country…. Whatever Israel wants Israel gets.”
      — Saudi blogger and journalist Khaled Batarfi, Saudi English-language newspaper, Arab News.

      White Supremacists

      White supremacists, who already focus much of their hatred on Jews and believe that “Zionists” and Israel control the U.S. government and create the world’s problems, welcomed President Carter’s book as an affirmation of their warped anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

      White supremacist forums such as Stormfront, the longest-running white supremacist Web site on the Internet, Aryan Nations Forum, a Web forum operated by the South Carolina-based Aryan Nations group headed by August Kreis, and Vanguard News Network (VNN), a white supremacist Web site and discussion forum run by neo-Nazi Alex Linder, have included posts praising President Carter for standing up to the “Zionist lobby” and Israel and reaffirming their views on the inherent evil nature of Jews. Many of the messages expressed support for Carter, claiming that any criticism of his book is an attack by “the Zionists.”

      Mark Weber of the Institute for Historical Review, a Holocaust denial organization, listed the book along with the conspiratorial paper on the “Israel Lobby” by professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt as one of the year’s crowning achievements, showing the “growing awareness of Jewish-Zionist power.”

      The following is a sampling of racist commentary on Carter’s book, “Palestine Peace Not Apartheid” appearing in online white supremacist forums:

      “Carter decided to quit being a Zionist puppet (as he was during his presidency), and actually starts exposing the lies of Israel. That’s when he gets slandered by ‘anti-racism’ (pro jewish racism) groups like the ADL and SPLC, in addition to the rest of the mainstream media.”
      — From Stormfront (12/23/06)

      “Right now I see the whole world beginning to sense the end of Jewish political power. That’s why Mel and Jimmy Carter are saying and doing the things they are, and their defiance of Jewish rath [sic] is also part of the cause of the fall of Jewish power. It’s a snow ball effect. Now who is afraid of the big bad Jew?”
      — From Stormfront (12/20/06)

      “did anyone happen to see jimmy carter on jacob lenstein(aka jay leno)? he knows whats going on with the kikes. he was promoteing his new book PEACE NOT APARTIED: IN PALESTINE. he was actually defending the palestinians i could not believe it. but he was careful in what he said, but he did say about the number of palestinians being killed dailey by the israelie gorillas. and boy did “jay” get cold and quiet, quick to defend israel by saying what great alies they are,(uhgg, why cant people see). and true to jew form, he is now being attacked and accused of plagerism. thats what the kikes do, instead owning up to the truth they just falsely slander and blackball him. thats what a filthy dirty kike does. in this country it is only acceptable to hate white people and arabs. these dity parisites must be erraticated, such like a tape worm. white power.”
      — From Aryan Nations Forum (12/16/06)

      “Congratulations Jimmy Carter, you have some backbone after all! Now, if the power-mad Zionist Lobby keeps it up, (i.e. their ad homonym smear attacks on the ex President), then hopefully the imbroglio will turn out to be even bigger and better than the attempted defamation of Mel Gibson and his movie! We need to encourage Jimmy in any way that we can, as this opportunity may be literally ‘heaven sent’. As a matter of fact, opportunity is knocking loud as hell! Send him positive emails, and give positive feedback at Amazon.com or anywhere else that you can. Now is the time to fan the flames and strike while the iron is red hot!”
      –From Stormfront (12/9/06)

      “’Because of powerful political, economic, and religious forces in the United States, Israeli government decisions are rarely questioned or condemned,’” the former president writes. Translation: ‘The United States has a Zionist Occupied Government.’ Amen.”

The only explanation – and one that Carter tap dances around, but won’t come out and say directly – is that Jews control the media and buy politicians.”

      Wow, what a colossal assumption. Carter advocates a more fair approach to the Israel/Palestine conflict and Dershy immediately jumps to the BIG SECRET: “Jews control the media and buy politicians”

      What else could it be but this when you have evil Jimmy the neo-Nazi extremist who thinks maybe Israel should really attempt peace and fairness rather than racist oppressive apartheid.

      Jewish logic: advocating peace and exploring the Palestinian question from the Palestinian viewpoint = “jews control the media and buy the politicians”. Flawless, itz.

      Dershowitz has stated the plain truth in a feeble attempt to brand President Carter as a conpiracy mongering hater who thinks jews control something besides their matzo soup and bagel consumption levels.

      Guilty conscience much Mr. Dershowitz?

      Maybe I didn’t read enough and I definitely haven’t read Carter’s book but I find it funny that Dershowitz thinks any open support of Palestine means !quote! “jews control the media and buy the politicians”.

      A plain fact hidden in an accusation. Maybe Dershowitz hates Mr. Carter and is doing some intellectual projection.

    4. Adolf Hitler Says:

      Only the deeper and broader strata of the people as such, or rather that class which is beginning to wake up and fight for its rights and freedom, cannot yet be sufficiently taken in by these methods. But this is more necessary than anything else; for the Jew feels that the possibility of his rising to a dominant role exists only if there is someone ahead of him to dear the way; and this someone he thinks he can recognize in the bourgeoisie, in their broadest strata in fact. The glovemakers and linen weavers, however, cannot be caught in the fine net of Freemasonry; no, for them coarser but no less drastic means must be employed. Thus Freemasonry is joined by a second weapon in the service of the Jews: the press. With all his perseverance and dexterity he seizes possession of it. With it he slowly begins to grip and ensnare, to guide and to push all public life, since he is in a position to create and direct that power which, under the name of ‘public opinion,’ IS better known today than a few decades ago.

      … And this nationality he guards as never before. While he seems to overflow with ‘enlightenment,’ ‘progress,’ ‘freedom,’ ‘humanity,’ etc., he himself practices the severest segregation of his race. To be sure, he sometimes palms off his women on influential Christians, but as a matter of principle he always keeps his male line pure. He poisons the blood of others, but preserves his own. The Jew almost never marries a Christian woman; it is the Christian who marries a Jewess. The bastards, however, take after the Jewish side. Especially a part of the high nobility degenerates completely. The Jew is perfectly aware of this, and therefore systematically carries on this mode of ‘ disarming ‘ the intellectual leader class of his racial adversaries. In order to mask his activity and lull his victims, however, he talks more and more of the equality of all men without regard to race and color. The fools begin to believe him.

      … If anyone by his intelligence resists the Jewish lures, his defiance and understanding are broken by terror. The success of such an activity is enormous.

      … Above all, it hammers away at the characters of all those who will not bow down to the Jewish presumption to dominate, or whose ability and genius in themselves seem a danger to the Jew. For to be hated by the Jew it is not necessary to combat him; no, it suffices if he suspects that someone might even conceive the idea of combating him some time or that on the strength of his superior genius he is an augmenter of the power and greatness of a nationality hostile to the Jew.

      His unfailing instinct in such things scents the original soul l in everyone, and his hostility is assured to anyone who is not spirit of his spirit. Since the Jew is not the attacked but the attacker, not only anyone who attacks passes as his enemy, but also anyone who resists him. But the means with which he seeks to break such reckless but upright souls is not honest warfare, but lies and slander.

      Here he stops at nothing, and in his vileness he becomes so gigantic that no one need be surprised if among our people the personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew.

      … The ignorance of the broad masses about the inner nature of the Jew, the lack of instinct and narrow-mindedness of our upper classes, make the people an easy victim for this Jewish campaign of lies.

      While from innate cowardice the upper classes turn away from a man whom the Jew attacks with lies and slander, the broad masses from stupidity or simplicity believe everything. The state authorities either cloak themselves in silence or, what usually happens, in order to put an end to the Jewish press campaign, they persecute the unjustly attacked, which, in the eyes of such an official ass, passes as the preservation of state authority and the safeguarding of law and order.

      Slowly fear of the Marxist weapon of Jewry descends like a nightmare on the mind and soul of decent people.
      They begin to tremble before the terrible enemy and thus have become his final victim.

      The Jew’s domination in the state seems so assured that now not only can he call himself a Jew again, but he ruthlessly admits his ultimate national and political designs. A section of his race openly owns itself to be a foreign people, yet even here they lie. For while the Zionists try to make the rest of the world believe that the national consciousness of the Jew finds its satisfaction in the creation of a Palestinian state, the Jews again slyly dupe the dumb Goyim. It doesn’t even enter their heads to build up a Jewish state in Palestine for the purpose of living there; all they want is a central organization for their international world swindle, endowed with its own sovereign rights and removed from the intervention of other states: a haven for convicted scoundrels and a university for budding crooks.

      ANSWER TO JIMMY CARTER’S BOOK

      Hello,

      We are writing to inform you about a book related to what is happening now in the Middle East released by Olive Grove Books entitled THE PALESTINE CONSPIRACY. This book takes place in Beirut.

      Because the region of Palestine and the repercussions it holds for peace in the Middle East between the PLO and Israel are critically important, the issues discussed via this spy-thriller makes it interesting and informative so that people all over the world can understand exactly how both sides think and how that thinking has led to continual violence in the Middle East.

      If these issues had been understood and discussed 18 years ago, perhaps two wars in the Persian Gulf, the Sept. 11th catastrophe and this new Beirut War would not have happened.

      That aside, it is never too late for peace.

      With your consideration, we at Olive Grove Books hope you give THE PALESTINE CONSPIRACY its rightful place in history and on your web site and store book shelves.

      It is a book, which has come of age, and is so timely that it is a must read for everyone who wants to understand what is going on in the Middle East.

      With appreciation and gratitude,

      Sincerely, from the publisher,

      THE PALESTINE CONSPIRACY

      ****INGRAM BOOKS IS THE MAJOR DISTRIBUTOR, ALONG WITH ATLASBOOKS, BAKER & TAYLOR AND OTHERS, 1-800-247-6553 OR 1-800-BOOKLOG

      MENTOR, Ohio – THE PALESTINE CONSPIRACY, a genre spy-thriller by Robert Spirko, was fourth on the September best-seller list at Atlasbooks, Inc., a national book distributor.
      “It is time for the Israelis and Palestinians to return to the Camp David Peace Talks, resume where they left off and “freeze in place” the already-agreed-upon negotiating points,” Spirko says.
      “The Iraq Study Group should make this recommendation a top priority before trying to put-in-place a new strategy for Iraq – mainly because ramifications of a peace agreement between both sides will resonate deeply throughout the Muslim world in the way Jews and Muslims interact toward each other. It could have a profound ripple effect including how the United States is perceived by Islamists.” he emphasizes.
      “I have communicated that first step to the James Baker III and Lee Hamilton study group. It is important that both sides in the Middle East region are willing to come to their senses,” Spirko reiterates.
      He uses the following analogy for peace. “The Camp David accords have precedent and continuity through previous agreements. It’s like a marriage where both spouses in an argument storm away mad. They don’t divorce and then try to resume their relationship; rather, they come back together, settle their differences, and resume the marriage where they left off. It must be the same for the Middle East Peace talks.”
      Spirko’s book predicted terrorism against the United States & Israel in his book which takes place in Lebanon. It is eerily similar to the Beirut War which took place last summer between Hezbollah and Israel.
      Spirko says if these issues had been understood and discussed 18 years ago, perhaps two wars in the Persian Gulf, the Sept. 11th catastrophe and the new Beirut War would not have happened.
      “That aside,” he says, “It is never too late for peace.”

      MEDINA, Ohio – When it comes to spy novels and Middle East intrigue, after 16 spell-binding years, the gripping story behind the Middle East quagmire – its issues of nuclear weapons and the quest for a Palestinian State – is finally being told in a ground-breaking new book entitled, THE PALESTINE CONSPIRACY.

      Author Robert Spirko created the work in such a way that every reader in the world will understand all the intricate issues in the Middle East and how close the region actually came to the brink of nuclear Armageddon.

      Mr. Spirko has a unique way of holding the reader in his grasp as the plot of THE PALESTINE CONSPIRACY unfolds. He literally takes you from your armchair and immerses you into the lifestyle of the Bedouin, the Israeli, the PLO and the mindset of the Middle-Easterner.

      THE PALESTINE CONSPIRACY is not just another spy-novel; it is the quintessential spy-thriller because it forces the reader to understand how both sides “think” and why that thinking ultimately led to repeated wars in the Middle East.

      Spirko, a financial and geo-political analyst, turned his attention to the Middle East in 1987, after discovering several common elements related to the Middle East question. In working for peace, and after several frustrating years, he put down his analysis in writing and when he was finished, he not only had a solution to the quagmire, he had a story to tell.

      But, nobody was listening.

      Today, all that has changed, thanks to Olive Grove Publishers who decided to give his book a chance.

      When the Palestinian question came to a festering crisis in 1990, he had already predicted several of the actual events before they occurred. For instance, Spirko predicted the Intifada and Persian Gulf War, missing the actual invasion date of Kuwait by only one week. He did this through spectacular supposition, analysis and prediction based on what he was “seeing” in the region.

      When Spirko typed his manuscript, he set the work to fiction, about what he thought might occur soon in the Middle East involving weapons of mass destruction, nuclear proliferation, the Palestinian uprising before it occurred, and how the Palestinian question begged to be answered, little did he realize that every event he described in the book would eventually transpire.

      His story of what was really happening behind the scenes in the Middle East is truly astounding and remarkable, and his contribution to the Camp David Peace Talks in 2000, formulated a solution to the Jerusalem question. When the BBC got wind of it, they termed it “as nothing short of brilliant” – Jerusalem becoming the simultaneous capitals of both Israel and Palestine in congruous or concentric zones.

      Spirko originally copyrighted his book on October 20, 1987, in the U. S.
      Library of Congress where intelligence agencies reviewed his work.

      Today, finally, somebody is listening.

      Spirko feels that both sides must return to the Camp David Peace Talks and resume where they left off and “freeze in place” the already-agreed-upon negotiating points.

      “It’s like a marriage where both spouses storm away mad in an argument.
      They don’t divorce and then try to resume their relationship, they come back together, settle their differences, and resume their marriage. It must be the same for the Middle East Peace talks,” Spirko says.

      The story begins in Beirut, Lebanon, once a great financial capital of the Middle East, which lay in ruin, having been systematically blasted to rubble during 20 years of inexhaustible civil war and siege by Israel, the PLO, Hamas, Hezbollah and Lebanese factions. Soon, the quest for a Palestinian State would be framed by these events; namely, the invasion of Kuwait by a neighboring rogue state, Iraq, with Saddam Hussein’s goal of seeking nuclear parity with Israel.

      In Mr. Spirko’s story, Rick Waite, a forgotten UPI correspondent, and Adrienne Waters, a Pulitzer Prize journalist from the London Times, meet-up in Beirut with a PLO operative named Ahmed, who discovers a secret intelligence memo about a secret plan to destroy Israel.

      In the ensuing chase to find the answer to this secret communiqué and what it means, a deadly race against time begins as the unlikely trio tries to halt the launch of a secret weapon from a hidden PLO base camp in the Syrian Desert. U. S. and British intelligence operatives have their own agenda, and attempt to stop whatever is going on to save the entire region from a nuclear holocaust.

      Spirko weaves a tale of chilling duplicity and thrilling action, as the characters evade and devise a method to announce the discovery of nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles to the rest of the world – all while United Nations’ delegates bicker endlessly.

      An executive at BookMasters, Inc., says, “The book is absolutely stunning in the manner in which Mr. Spirko, tells his tale. He is truly a master as an analyst, and it’s totally unlike anything else we’ve ever read in a spy-thriller. It keeps you turning pages and won’t let you quit – until the very end. And, what an ending it is! If you crave twisting plots, thrilling spy-action and intriguing characters, then this is the book for you.”

      Spirko, whose own background includes a stint in the U. S. Air Force and has given his advice to the National Security Council in Washington, D. C., has a degree in journalism and knows first-hand about the newsroom and what it takes to be an intelligence field agent. His knowledge of the trade makes the story real, daunting, and strikingly similar to “The Year of Living Dangerously.”

      “THE PALESTINE CONSPIRACY drips with reality,” quips a book reviewer from Olive Grove Publishers. “If books were rated by Siskel & Roeper, it would be given a two-thumbs up.”

      Not since, Casablanca, do characters as earthy as Rick Waite, or as beautifully mysterious as London Times reporter, Adrienne Waters, or as desperate as PLO operative, Ahmed, bring fresh characters to a story that will be remembered by readers for a long time.

      The novel is a mass market paperback produced by Olive Grove Publishers, and can be purchased at area bookstores through Ingram Book Group, New Leaf Distribution, and Baker and Taylor, priced at $14.99, ISBN 0-9752508-0-9.

      For readers who want to know what was really going on in the Middle East prior to the Persian Gulf War, Sept. 11th, and Iraq War, THE PALESTINE CONSPIRACY, is a must read.

      WARREN, Ohio – When both sides walked away from the peace table at Camp David in 2000, Robert Spirko, author of THE PALESTINE CONSPIRACY warned negotiators Ehud Barak of Israel and Chairman Yasser Arafat that they would descend into the abyss of hell.

      “And, they did,” Spirko says, “and, so have we.” Spirko is a native of Warren and a former Tribune staff writer.

      That warning came after both sides had already agreed upon Jerusalem as the simultaneous capital of both Israel and Palestine, according to Spirko.

      “When both parties agreed on Jerusalem, an issue they both said they could never agree on, then left the peace table over reparations and the right of return, 8,000 lives were lost in the ensuing four years, including America’s 9/11 catastrophe,” Spirko reveals. “Chairman Arafat should have taken the deal. He had 90% of what he wanted. The Israelis offered to build upon that later if Arafat would stop the suicide bombers.
      Chairman Arafat would take the same deal today if it was offered, but it may be too late.”

      He explains, “The failed talks were a catastrophe for both the Middle East, and the United States, and the only way out is to resurrect the peace talks at Camp David, freeze the already agreed upon points, and resume where both parties left off.”

      Spirko has given his advice to the National Security Council in Washington, D. C. over the years, and is a 1965 graduate of the Kent State University School of Journalism. He studied for his MBA at Kent State University and currently analyzes geo-political trends as an investment advisor.

      He wrote the book as a spy-thriller detailing what and how the quest for a Palestinian State turned into an ongoing disaster predicting Iraq and Iran would seek to develop weapons of mass destruction. The yet-to-be-resolved “right of return” and reparations were ignored by both sides at the 2000 Camp David Peace Talks. Those issues could have been negotiated later. Ideas presented by Mr. Spirko at those peace talks included letting both sides have the right to name Jerusalem as each nation’s capital, an idea that the BBC in Great Britain termed as “brilliant.”.

      “The idea was to create simultaneous capitals for both countries-Palestine and Israel-with Jerusalem as the capital of each using congruous zones and a neutral governing district involving representatives from both sides with God as the central sovereign because they both believe in the same God, whether He is called Allah or Jehovah,” Spirko reiterates.

      “As we speak, Israel’s Ariel Sharon lies in a coma and Yasser Arafat is dead. Israel agreed to a withdrawal from Israeli settlements in Gaza, and a partial withdrawal in the West Bank. That could have been achieved six years ago at Camp David. Now, Hezbollah and Hamas have thrown a monkey-wrench into the scenario which could lead the United States and the world into World War III.”

      Spirko’s book takes place in Beirut, Lebanon. It details what he thought would occur in the Middle East before the actual events; namely, the Persian Gulf War, the Iraq War, the Intifada, and other events leading up to Sept. 11. His analysis, written as a novel in 1987 and copyrighted in the U.S. Library of Congress that year, warned that the Middle East was heading toward nuclear Armageddon if a rogue Arab state, Iraq or Iran, obtained nuclear weapons. For 17 years publishers refused to publish the book because they told Mr. Spirko that the events he described in his book “couldn’t possibly happen.”

      MEDINA, Ohio – “The Middle East is heading toward a new World War if Syria and Iran continue to aid and abet terrorism and try to develop nuclear weapons to threaten both Israel and the United States,” says Robert Spirko, author of THE PALESTINE CONSPIRACY, a book which predicted both wars in the region.

      He says both Iran and Syria are treading on dangerous ground in their quest to continue the war in Palestine and in attempting to enrich uranium for use in an atomic bomb.
      Spirko, a financial and geo-political analyst, turned his attention to the Middle East in 1987, after discovering several common elements related to the Middle East question. He wrote down his analysis, and when he was finished, he not only had a solution to the quagmire, he had a story to tell.

      THE PALESTINE CONSPIRACY predicted many of the events that occurred three years later, even the firing of missiles which hit Israel.

      “The United States, Great Britain, France, Russia, and China will never allow them to obtain enough nuclear technology to construct weapons of mass destruction,” says Spirko.

      Spirko, whose book foreshadowed the Persian Gulf War by three years, and the resultant Iraq War following the Sept. 11 attack, warned the consequences would be catastrophic for those Muslim nations who insist on continuing down that nuclear path.

      “The chief threat in the region I see right now is the threat to Saudi Arabia by Al Quaida. If Al Quaida were to overthrow the present royal family in Saudi Arabia, cutting off the oil supply to the western nations including Japan and China, it would bring down entire world economies.
      France and Germany would be begging us to go to war to retake those oil wells. It would be World War III,” he emphasizes.

      If such a scenario were to occur, France and the European economies could collapse in a matter of weeks.

      “And, it’s all related to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict which I said back in 1987 that is the crux of my book. It always has been, and always will be until it’s settled. That linkage is exactly what Osama Bin Laden stated in a taped message aired the weekend before the election in November. Whether you believe him or not is beside the point. That’s what’s he told us, and we’d better take that into account.”

      “We are again on the threshold of peace in the Middle East. But, we’re also on the threshold of World War III. We better get it right this time, ” Spirko emphasizes.

      Two faced liars and muder freaks are screaming about Jimmy’s book as they can’t let any opposing opionion reach the folk with out the hate tribes media filter on it.

      J.F.K. and Nixon were destroyed by these Nation destroyer’s, so now Jimmy is old, and as ex President, what will they do now beside’s disrespect him, slander him, and try to harrass him maybe with protester’s or something else. If they were smart they would ignore Jimmy completely, but as always the hate tribe with extreme paranoia will over play their hands once again, if their M.O. holds up.
