George W. Bush has puncture the image of essential American goodness that has always been the United States' key selling point.
Western visitors here have often been surprised by Poland's avid pro-Americanism. For some it's a pleasant surprise: They find none of the anti-American stereotypes common elsewhere in Europe.
Polish immigrants have been emigrating to the US since they arrived with the Vikings, and Christopher Columbus but significant immigration did not occur until the 1800's. However, the first appearances of Poles in America occurred in 1608. These Poles were hired by the London Company to bring their industrial skills to Jamestown. The Poles created glass house shops, and pitch and potash burners. These products became the first exports of Jamestown. As a result of their success more Poles were invited to Jamestown. They were always cooperative and willing workers. In 1619 more Poles landed at Jamestown with the intent to manufacture pitch, tar and resin for ships. They also helped start the timber industry that was necessary for ship building. The first Legislative Assembly denied the Jamestown Poles the right to vote. As a result the Poles went to strike, refusing to work unless they had the right to vote. On July 21, 1619 the Legislative Assembly granted Poles the right to vote. Thus, the Poles were the first group that fought successfully for civil rights.
Polish immigration to America increased in 1776, the year of the American Revolution. The Poles that ventured to America in 1776 were traveling to fight. They supported the idea of self government. Count Kazimiere Pulaski, and Thaddeus Kosciuszko both were generals during the Revolutionary War.
Bush has managed to puncture Poles' image of America as essentially good.
Poles managed to find something deeply admirable in all American Presidents: They appreciated Carter for his human rights agenda, Reagan for his gut anti-Communism, Bush Senior for overseeing the end of the cold war and Clinton for his commitment to an inclusive globalization.
Until now. George W. Bush has managed to do what forty-five years of Communist rule could not: puncture the image of essential American goodness that has always been the United States' key selling point.
Polish journalists now ask questions like, "How can we explain America's transformation from a country that introduced international law to one that intervenes militarily wherever it likes?" Or, more plaintively: "Does it really pay to be America's friend?" It is an astonishing turnabout: I have never heard these kinds of criticisms.
The Iraq war has been the turning point. Poland was one of America's most zealous supporters, the leader of what Defense Secretary Rumsfeld dubbed the "new Europe." Unlike the situation in other supportive European countries, all major political parties supported the war. People elsewhere argued over whether Iraq really had weapons of mass destruction, but in Poland the calculus was more simple: America requested our help, so we gave it.
Poland has always had great universities, and most Polish students possess a very good analytical and mathematical understanding. This is a great base for companies interested in developing strong business relationships with these new high-tech companies. The above example manifests this Polish opportunity.

Polish émigré 5 years since entering U.S., he gets into 7 Ivy Leagues
Polish émigré couldn’t speak English; now he’s admitted to 17 top schools

Lukasz Zbylut has taken “the old college try” to a whole new level.
The New York teenager, who emigrated from Poland only five years ago, applied to seven Ivy League schools — and was accepted by every one of them.
Now he’s thrilled to further his education at his “dream school” of choice — Harvard. What, Yale wasn’t good enough for him? How about Princeton?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I do feel sorry, and I feel awful for turning down such great institutions,” Zbylut told TODAY co-hosts Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira. “But it’s Harvard.”
Among the other schools he declined were Columbia, Dartmouth, Penn, Cornell, Georgetown, Stanford and New York University.
There were 10 other prominent schools that also accepted the ever-smiling 18-year-old. But he knew he could only pick one.
“It’s a great feeling to have,” Zbylut added. “And it’s very exciting — and confusing, to an extent.”
A class act
Lukasz Zbylut (pronounced Loo-KASH Zbeh-LOOT) was in seventh grade when he came to the United States. At that point, he admits, he had only a limited grasp of the English language.
“It’s quite amazing that the first words you learn in any language are the curses,” Zbylut said with a laugh. “It’s ‘thank you’ and the curses. Someone should study that at some point. But I’ve come a long way since then.”
Zbylut said the transition to attending school in the U.S. was “easier than expected.”
“Schools in Poland are very rigorous, as you can imagine,” he said. “When taking my first exam, I was constantly turning to the girl next to me because in Poland, [testing] is very collaborative. Here, it’s the opposite.”
In addition to holding such high grades, Zbylut is co-captain of his school’s United Nations team; founder of its debate team; president of its mock-trial team and editor of the school newspaper. And, just for kicks, he plays soccer.
With such credentials, Lauer asked, why did Zbylut apply to so many schools when he knew he’d be accepted to so many of them?
“That isn’t really true, especially the last decade,” Zbylut explained. “[It’s] very competitive. We’re into the single digits when it comes to acceptance rates.
“I thought of myself as a great candidate, but I was never certain of getting into a single one college.”
Zbylut plans to study politics, law and philosophy at Harvard. But there was one school that actually did turn him down — the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Zbylut said he didn’t mind the snub.
“I really don’t regret it, because I would never be as passionate as a student they potentially could have given the spot to,” he said. “I’m hoping that the spot they gave would have been to someone who is very passionate about politics and everything.”

Polish war hero Jan found peace on Tyneside
Polish war hero Jan found peace on Tyneside
War hero ... Jan Zielinski.
By Andrew Hughes
TRIBUTES have been paid to a former Hebburn war hero who was among the last survivors of one of the bloodiest encounters of the Second World War.
Jan Zielinski, who was an 18-year-old cadet when Germans invaded his hometown in Poland, fought with the Allies at the Falaise Gap in Normandy – later known as the 'Corridor of Death' – where he pulled a comrade from a burning tank, despite being injured himself.
Mr Zielinski, 87, who lived in Marina View, in Hebburn, from 1990 to 1999, was awarded a medal for his bravery and later the French Croix de Guerre, with two laurels, for being twice mentioned in dispatches.
The dad-of-four died on May 27, in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gateshead, after suffering kidney failure and heart disease.
Daughter Maria Hall, from Blaydon, Newcastle, said: "We are all so proud of him.
"He was such a humble and quiet man.
"He didn't make a big fuss of all his decorations, but he always made sure that no one forgot what the soldiers did for their country in the Second World War.
"But as a father and grandfather, he was a very loving and kind man.
"He went through so much in his life and the whole family loved him very much."
Mr Zielinski was also the youngest commissioned officer in the Polish Army.
The war veteran wrote about his part in the 'Corridor of Death' in a rare letter.
In it he recalled returning to France in 1944 with the Allied invasion as part of the 1st Canadian Army under Montgomery.
However, pandemonium broke out when the Allies moved to trap the Germans trying to escape the Falaise pocket.
Mr Zielinski, who also spent 40 years in the pit, said: "We were exposed to German bullets and shells. Our tank caught fire but we got out. All except one.
"We went back to get Eddie and I was shot by a sniper as we pulled him out.
"Eddie was seriously wounded in both legs and he died through loss of blood.
"There was not enough soil to bury him in, so we put a helmet over his face to stop the flies getting into his mouth.
"I could not describe the stench from all the dead men and horses, the congealed blood on the road and the flies."
Mr Zielinski moved to North East England when he returned, "because people had once given us a nice welcome there", while transporting a tank by train.
On his first day off after VJ Day, Mr Zielinski met Mary Burrell, from Pelaw, who later became his wife. She died 12 years ago.
The couple had four children – Paul, 60, Peter, 55, Mark, 53, and Maria, 46 – and eight grandchildren.
His funeral service, to be attended by the deputy Polish military attache, Lieutenant Colonel Colin Adamski, will be held at St Joseph's Church in Blaydon, Gateshead, at noon on Wednesday.

Support Our Allies - They Support Us?
"...For Your Freedom and Ours..."
Gen. T. Kosciuszko (Poland and America's Patriot)
- Poland sent combat troops to Iraq, Afghanistan , Kosovo, Panama, Haiti, Polish Army's Peacekeepers in Golan Heights, Americans during the war.
- Polish troops are responsible for security in 1 of the 4 zones in Iraq
- 20,000 soldiers from 17 countries served under Polish command
Poland sent its elite commando unit, GROM, which means thunder. It helped secure the port at Umm Qasr, which was vital to delivering aid to Iraq. The unit also secured nearby oil platforms before they could be sabotaged.
In the first Gulf War, Polish intelligence officers snuck into Iraq to rescue a group of CIA operatives trapped behind enemy lines.
Poland's secret agents disguised CIA agents as Polish construction workers and smuggled them out of Baghdad.
This was not the first time Polish soldiers risked their lives for our freedom. Generals Casimir Pulaski and Tadeusz Kosciuszko were two of the first foreigners to fight in the American Revolution. Kosciuszko designed and oversaw the construction of West Point. After that, he returned to Poland, where he led a democratic uprising. As a result of that fight, Poland had the first written democratic constitution in Europe, second in the world only to the U.S.

I have to bring to your attention. What kind of:
How autocratic our Homeland Security in US is.
Ciekawy wiadomosc prasowa:
Israel to Get $30bn US Defense Aid
RAMALLAH/GAZA CITY, 30 July 2007 — Prime Minister Ehud Olmert yesterday announced a new $30 billion US defense aid package to preserve Israel’s regional military superiority, as he appreciated Washington’s wishes to boost moderate Arab states through weapons sales.
“This is an increase of 25 percent for the military aid to Israel from the United States. I think this is a significant and important increase in defense aid to Israel,” Olmert said at the opening of the weekly Israeli Cabinet meeting.
Olmert added that the aid package was offered during his meeting with US President George W. Bush in Washington on June 20.
“This would mean a lot to Israel’s security, and this is a good opportunity to thank President Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice,” Olmert said.
Other Israeli ministers stressed during the Cabinet meeting Israel’s need to secure its “quality advantage” over its neighbors in the Mideast and the US’ major role in maintaining this advantage.
“Defense aid to Israel is still a top priority for the United States,” Olmert told the Cabinet, adding that Israel enjoys more financial assistance than other countries in the Middle East.
“We have renewed agreements and a renewed commitment from the Americans that would help preserve our advantage over the Arab countries,” Olmert said, referring to reports by the New York Times and the Washington Post that the US is mulling a $20 billion arms deal with Gulf states and increasing military aid to Egypt to $13 billion over 10 years.
The deal with Gulf states includes advanced satellite-guided bombs, upgrades to their fighter jets and new naval vessels. It has reportedly raised concerns in Israel and among its supporters in the Congress. However, Olmert said that Israel fully understood the US’ need to support the moderate states in the region.
“We understand the US’ need to assist the moderate Arab states, which are standing in one front with the United States and us in the struggle against Iran,” Olmert said, referring to its nuclear program.
Israeli security officials called the increase in military aid “an unusual achievement.”
According to Israeli diplomatic sources, the final details about the new aid package to the Jewish state will be worked out during the visit by US Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns to the region, adding that his visit is slated for mid-August.
US defense aid to Israel began in 1973 but a regular 10-year aid plan — with the previous one expiring this summer — was institutionalized in 1977 as part of the Egypt-Israel peace agreement, the official said.
The military aid is made up of 75 percent US military hardware, ranging from ammunition to warplanes, with the other 25 percent in cash, which goes mainly toward securing new Israeli-made weapons.
Meanwhile, a new Palestinian government platform drawn up by Prime Minister Salam Fayyad pledges, in an indirect swipe at the Islamist group Hamas, to prevent the use of violence in the name of Islam.
An official English-language translation, released yesterday, of the policy document said that Fayyad’s administration would build a clearcut strategy to “enhance the status of Islam as a religion of tolerance.”
At the same time, the platform said, the government would prevent “the use of Islam to justify killings, exclusion of others and destruction.”
The phrasing was clearly aimed at Hamas who took control of Gaza last month in fighting with President Mahmoud Abbas’ secular Fatah faction.
The group has accused Abbas, based in the West Bank where Fatah holds sway, of carrying out a coup by setting up the new government without Hamas, which won an election 18 months ago. Palestinian officials on Friday confirmed that the new platform omits the phrase “armed struggle” and “resistance” against Israeli occupation.
A spokeswoman for Olmert has welcomed the new language. Hamas has rebuffed international demands to recognize Israel and renounce violence.
In another development, more than 100 Palestinians stranded for weeks in Egypt after the Hamas takeover of Gaza began returning home yesterday, crossing into Israel and riding buses to a crossing point between Israel and northern Gaza.
The first three Palestinians crossed into Gaza through the Erez checkpoint late yesterday afternoon. They were greeted with kisses and hugs from relatives, who rushed them away from the scene in cars.
The violent Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip last month triggered the closure of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, which was run by Palestinian security with European supervision and Israeli security in the background — stranding about 6,000 Palestinians on the Egyptian side. During the violence, the European monitors fled and Hamas militiamen took control of the terminal.
Earlier yesterday, about 1,000 Palestinians gathered in a stadium in the Egyptian town of El-Arish, where authorities read the names of 105 people who they said were approved by Israel to return to Gaza.

Support Our Allies - They Support Us?
"...For Your Freedom and Ours..."
Gen. T. Kosciuszko (Poland and America's Patriot)
- Poland sent combat troops to Iraq, Afghanistan , Kosovo, Panama, Haiti, Polish Army's Peacekeepers in Golan Heights, Americans during the war.
- Polish troops are responsible for security in 1 of the 4 zones in Iraq
- 20,000 soldiers from 17 countries served under Polish command
Poland sent its elite commando unit, GROM, which means thunder. It helped secure the port at Umm Qasr, which was vital to delivering aid to Iraq. The unit also secured nearby oil platforms before they could be sabotaged.
In the first Gulf War, Polish intelligence officers snuck into Iraq to rescue a group of CIA operatives trapped behind enemy lines.
Poland's secret agents disguised CIA agents as Polish construction workers and smuggled them out of Baghdad.
This was not the first time Polish soldiers risked their lives for our freedom. Generals Casimir Pulaski and Tadeusz Kosciuszko were two of the first foreigners to fight in the American Revolution. Kosciuszko designed and oversaw the construction of West Point. After that, he returned to Poland, where he led a democratic uprising. As a result of that fight, Poland had the first written democratic constitution in Europe, second in the world only to the U.S.

Israel to Get $30bn US Defense Aid
RAMALLAH/GAZA CITY, 30 July 2007 — Prime Minister Ehud Olmert yesterday announced a new $30 billion US defense aid package to preserve Israel’s regional military superiority, as he appreciated Washington’s wishes to boost moderate Arab states through weapons sales.
“This is an increase of 25 percent for the military aid to Israel from the United States. I think this is a significant and important increase in defense aid to Israel,” Olmert said at the opening of the weekly Israeli Cabinet meeting.
Olmert added that the aid package was offered during his meeting with US President George W. Bush in Washington on June 20.
“This would mean a lot to Israel’s security, and this is a good opportunity to thank President Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice,” Olmert said.
Other Israeli ministers stressed during the Cabinet meeting Israel’s need to secure its “quality advantage” over its neighbors in the Mideast and the US’ major role in maintaining this advantage.
“Defense aid to Israel is still a top priority for the United States,” Olmert told the Cabinet, adding that Israel enjoys more financial assistance than other countries in the Middle East.
“We have renewed agreements and a renewed commitment from the Americans that would help preserve our advantage over the Arab countries,” Olmert said, referring to reports by the New York Times and the Washington Post that the US is mulling a $20 billion arms deal with Gulf states and increasing military aid to Egypt to $13 billion over 10 years.
The deal with Gulf states includes advanced satellite-guided bombs, upgrades to their fighter jets and new naval vessels. It has reportedly raised concerns in Israel and among its supporters in the Congress. However, Olmert said that Israel fully understood the US’ need to support the moderate states in the region.
“We understand the US’ need to assist the moderate Arab states, which are standing in one front with the United States and us in the struggle against Iran,” Olmert said, referring to its nuclear program.
Israeli security officials called the increase in military aid “an unusual achievement.”
According to Israeli diplomatic sources, the final details about the new aid package to the Jewish state will be worked out during the visit by US Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Nicholas Burns to the region, adding that his visit is slated for mid-August.
US defense aid to Israel began in 1973 but a regular 10-year aid plan — with the previous one expiring this summer — was institutionalized in 1977 as part of the Egypt-Israel peace agreement, the official said.
The military aid is made up of 75 percent US military hardware, ranging from ammunition to warplanes, with the other 25 percent in cash, which goes mainly toward securing new Israeli-made weapons.
Meanwhile, a new Palestinian government platform drawn up by Prime Minister Salam Fayyad pledges, in an indirect swipe at the Islamist group Hamas, to prevent the use of violence in the name of Islam.
An official English-language translation, released yesterday, of the policy document said that Fayyad’s administration would build a clearcut strategy to “enhance the status of Islam as a religion of tolerance.”
At the same time, the platform said, the government would prevent “the use of Islam to justify killings, exclusion of others and destruction.”
The phrasing was clearly aimed at Hamas who took control of Gaza last month in fighting with President Mahmoud Abbas’ secular Fatah faction.
The group has accused Abbas, based in the West Bank where Fatah holds sway, of carrying out a coup by setting up the new government without Hamas, which won an election 18 months ago. Palestinian officials on Friday confirmed that the new platform omits the phrase “armed struggle” and “resistance” against Israeli occupation.
A spokeswoman for Olmert has welcomed the new language. Hamas has rebuffed international demands to recognize Israel and renounce violence.
In another development, more than 100 Palestinians stranded for weeks in Egypt after the Hamas takeover of Gaza began returning home yesterday, crossing into Israel and riding buses to a crossing point between Israel and northern Gaza.
The first three Palestinians crossed into Gaza through the Erez checkpoint late yesterday afternoon. They were greeted with kisses and hugs from relatives, who rushed them away from the scene in cars.
The violent Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip last month triggered the closure of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt, which was run by Palestinian security with European supervision and Israeli security in the background — stranding about 6,000 Palestinians on the Egyptian side. During the violence, the European monitors fled and Hamas militiamen took control of the terminal.
Earlier yesterday, about 1,000 Palestinians gathered in a stadium in the Egyptian town of El-Arish, where authorities read the names of 105 people who they said were approved by Israel to return to Gaza.

Irak jako nieudana super-baza osi USA-Izrael
Irak jako nieudana super-baza osi USA-Izrael
Nadworny pisarz przemówień Bush’a, Żyd Dawid Frum napisał, że Irak będzie kwaterą główną potęgi USA na Bliskim Wschodzie i że w ten sposób Ameryka będzie bardziej skutecznie władać tym regionem niż Turcy Ottamańscy lub nawet Imperium Rzymskie. Obecnie obywatele USA mogą położyć kres tym złudzeniom w następnych wyborach, ale czy potrafią tego dokonać jest rzeczą bardzo wątpliwą, wobec kontroli mediów amerykańskich przez radykalnych Żydów, mimo tego, że 84% wyborców wypowiada się przeciwko dalszej pacyfikacji Iraku.
Niewiele lepiej powodzi się Żydom w Izraelu, gdzie 64% obywateli bezskutecznie domaga się zawarcia traktatu pokoju z Palestyńczykami, wobec uporu rządzących izraelskich radykałów, którzy utrzymują zupełnie niebezpieczną fikcję, że Izrael nie musi mieć żadnych oficjalnie uznanych granic. Czyni to z Izraela jedyną niby demokrację, która, w nadziei ekspansji nie uznaje żadnych własnych granic i z tego powodu nie może zawierać formalnych traktatów z USA gdzie narazie syjonistom wystarcza kontrola polityki Waszyngtonu przez lobby Izraela.
Ciekawe, że już 15go lutego, 2003, tłumy ludzi na całym świecie wyszły na ulice, żeby protestować przeciwko zapowiadanemu napadowi USA na Irak. Demonstracje miały miejsce w wielkich miastach i w małych na całym globie, nawet na Antarktyce w Stacji McMurdo. Około trzydzieści milionów ludzi protestowało i wówczas pisano, że była to największa demonstracja pokojowa na świecie.
Tymczasem już od 1991 roku, Irak był bojkotowany przez USA i znalazł się w coraz gorszych warunkach zdrowotnych, tak ze śmiertelność dzieci bardzo wzrosła. Bombardowania systematycznie niszczyły infrastrukturę i takie urządzenia jak oczyszczanie ścieków. Wiele szkód spowodowała blokada handlowa i ograniczanie eksportu paliwa. W rezultacie szyby i rurociągi na polach ropy naftowej i gazu ziemnego nie były utrzymywane w dobrym stanie. Opinia światowa nie zdawała sobie sprawy z tego stanu rzeczy.
W 2003 wydawało się, że odbyła się wtedy największa nieudana pokojowa demonstracja w historii, ponieważ miesiąc później wojska USA przekroczyły granice Kuwejtu i uderzyły w kierunku na Bagdad. Następnie napad na Irak był traktowany przez media USA w taki sposób, że nie wiedziano w Ameryce, co naprawdę dzieje się w Iraku pod okupacją i w czasie pacyfikacji.
Od 1991 roku straciło życie milion Irakijczyków z powodu działań USA, według oceny John Hopkins University. Od 2003 roku ponad 4000 Amerykanów poległo w Iraku i dziesiątki tysięcy zostało okaleczonych na całe życie. W tym samym czasie cztery miliony Irakijczyków straciło dach nad głową a ekonomiści oceniają, że napad na Irak w sumie będzie kosztował skarb USA od 3000 do 5000 miliardów dolarów. Wojna w Iraku już trwa dłużej niż wojna światowa oraz wszystkie inne wojny w historii USA i pewnie będzie najbardziej kosztowną i beznadziejną.
Napad na Irak spowodował kolosalne zniszczenia w Mezopotamii, kolebce ludzkiej cywilizacji. Irakijczycy, stawiając opór, ponieśli dużo większe straty niż gdyby oporu nie stawiali. Nie wiadomo ile konfliktów między mieszkańcami Iraku spowodowały obce prowokacje a zwłaszcza Mossadu. Duch oporu w Iraku nie stracił na sile i zatrzymał tryumfalny marsz amerykańskiej maszyny wojennej przez bogaty w paliwo Bliski Wschód. Obecnie klęska inwazji na Irak jest odczuwana na całym świecie w formie rosnących cen paliwa.
Faktem jest, że w Iraku został pogrzebany sen o potędze USA w formie „Nowego Amerykańskiego Stulecia” neokonserwatystów-syjonistów. USA jako „super potęga” wydaje na zbrojenia więcej, niż reszta świata, ale nie potrafiła stworzyć w Iraku nawet demokracji fasadowej, mimo tego, że w kraju tym mieszka niecałe 30 milionów ludzi według ocen z 2007 roku na 440,000 km. kw. Jak dotąd nie udał się rabunek ropy naftowej i gazu ziemnego z zasobów w Iraku. Napad na Irak udowodnił, że rabunek paliwa obecnie więcej kosztuje niż uczciwy zakup.
Neokonserwatyści spodziewali się, że sama demonstracja siły USA w Iraku, spowoduje Iran i Syrię do uległości wobec osi USA-Izrael. Mówili o chwilowych „bólach porodowych” „Wielkiego Bliskiego Wschodu” w czasie niszczenia infrastruktury Libanu. Nowy „jedno-biegunowy” świat miał być rządzony z Waszyngtonu sterowanego przez lobby Izraela.
„Jedno-biegunowy moment” amerykańskiej światowej hegemonii zaczął się od upadku Związku Sowieckiego, według ideologii stworzonej przez Żydów nowojorskich, trockistów nawróconych na radykalny syjonizm i marzących o Izraelu „od Nilu do Eufratu,” niby w imię spełnienia amerykańskiego snu o potędze, kultywowanego przez żydowską elitę Stanów Zjednoczonych. Nawet sam napad na Irak nosił nazwę „Iraqi Freedom,” czyli „Wolność Iraku” według utartych zasad neokolonializmu, niby w imię wolności i demokracji.
Tymczasem ruch oporu wzrasta na sile i wybory planowane na jesień 2008 roku prawdopodobnie wykażą, że większość Szyitów popiera niepodległościowy ruch Sadrystów. Faktycznie opór Iraku na każdym poziomie kontaktu z Amerykanami uniemożliwił stworzenie tam bazy osi USA-Izrael. W rzeczywistości opór w Iraku skompromitował „wojnę Bush’a przeciwko terrorowi,” która najwyraźniej była planowana jako namiastka „Zimnej Wojny” w celu uzasadniania wydatków zbrojeniowych, jako siły motorycznej gospodarki USA. Tymczasem USA ugrzęzło w faktyczną wojną, którą ekstremiści żydowscy chcą rozszerzyć na Iran „dla dobra Izraela.”
Cyniczna propaganda wojny przeciwko Iranowi obecnie objawia się w ponownej eksploatacji fundamentalistów protestanckich przez neokonserwatystów, za pomocą szerzenia wśród nich przekonania, że kandydat na prezydenta USA, Barack Obama, który obiecuje wycofanie wojsk USA z Iraku, jest wcieleniem „anti-Christ’a.” Słyszałem tego rodzaju nonsensy od mieszkańców Zachodniej Wirginii, w której wygrała przed-wybory Hilary Clinton, obiecująca Żydom zniszczenie Iranu.
Nonsens zagrożenia Polski i USA rakietami Iranu był piętnowany przez prezydenta Rosji Medwiediew’a, w Pekinie 22go maja 2008 ,według The Wall Street Journal. Rosja i Chiny oficjalnie protestują przeciwko wyrzutniom „Tarczy,” zwłaszcza w Polsce, o cztery minuty lotu pocisku do Moskwy. Polska powinna bronić się wszystkimi siłami przeciwko budowie wyrzutni „Tarczy” na polskich terenach. Nawet takie manipulacje jak ładownie pocisków, lub ich obsługa mogą, być poczytane za przygotowania wystrzału w rosyjskie centra kontroli i dowodzenia i tym samym spowodować automatyczny wystrzał pocisków nuklearnych z Królewca lub Białorusi, żeby zablokować zagrożenie Moskwy, kosztem stworzenia w Polsce terenu radioaktywnego, nie nadającego się, do życia. Tymczasem napad na Irak nie stworzył tam super-bazy osi USA-Izrael.

Jak dotąd nie udał się rabunek ropy naftowej i gazu ziemnego z zasobów w Iraku. Napad na Irak udowodnił, że rabunek paliwa obecnie więcej kosztuje niż uczciwy zakup.
Neokonserwatyści spodziewali się, że sama demonstracja siły USA w Iraku, spowoduje Iran i Syrię do uległości wobec osi USA-Izrael. Mówili o chwilowych „bólach porodowych” „Wielkiego Bliskiego Wschodu” w czasie niszczenia infrastruktury Libanu. Nowy „jedno-biegunowy” świat miał być rządzony z Waszyngtonu sterowanego przez lobby Izraela.
„Jedno-biegunowy moment” amerykańskiej światowej hegemonii zaczął się od upadku Związku Sowieckiego, według ideologii stworzonej przez Żydów nowojorskich, trockistów nawróconych na radykalny syjonizm i marzących o Izraelu „od Nilu do Eufratu,” niby w imię spełnienia amerykańskiego snu o potędze, kultywowanego przez żydowską elitę Stanów Zjednoczonych. Nawet sam napad na Irak nosił nazwę „Iraqi Freedom,” czyli „Wolność Iraku” według utartych zasad neokolonializmu, niby w imię wolności i demokracji.
Tymczasem ruch oporu wzrasta na sile i wybory planowane na jesień 2008 roku prawdopodobnie wykażą, że większość Szyitów popiera niepodległościowy ruch Sadrystów. Faktycznie opór Iraku na każdym poziomie kontaktu z Amerykanami uniemożliwił stworzenie tam bazy osi USA-Izrael. W rzeczywistości opór w Iraku skompromitował „wojnę Bush’a przeciwko terrorowi,” która najwyraźniej była planowana jako namiastka „Zimnej Wojny” w celu uzasadniania wydatków zbrojeniowych, jako siły motorycznej gospodarki USA. Tymczasem USA ugrzęzło w faktyczną wojną, którą ekstremiści żydowscy chcą rozszerzyć na Iran „dla dobra Izraela.”
Cyniczna propaganda wojny przeciwko Iranowi obecnie objawia się w ponownej eksploatacji fundamentalistów protestanckich przez neokonserwatystów, za pomocą szerzenia wśród nich przekonania, że kandydat na prezydenta USA, Barack Obama, który obiecuje wycofanie wojsk USA z Iraku, jest wcieleniem „anti-Christ’a.” Słyszałem tego rodzaju nonsensy od mieszkańców Zachodniej Wirginii, w której wygrała przed-wybory Hilary Clinton, obiecująca Żydom zniszczenie Iranu.
Nonsens zagrożenia Polski i USA rakietami Iranu był piętnowany przez prezydenta Rosji Medwiediew’a, w Pekinie 22go maja 2008 ,według The Wall Street Journal. Rosja i Chiny oficjalnie protestują przeciwko wyrzutniom „Tarczy,” zwłaszcza w Polsce, o cztery minuty lotu pocisku do Moskwy. Polska powinna bronić się wszystkimi siłami przeciwko budowie wyrzutni „Tarczy” na polskich terenach. Nawet takie manipulacje jak ładownie pocisków, lub ich obsługa mogą, być poczytane za przygotowania wystrzału w rosyjskie centra kontroli i dowodzenia i tym samym spowodować automatyczny wystrzał pocisków nuklearnych z Królewca lub Białorusi, żeby zablokować zagrożenie Moskwy, kosztem stworzenia w Polsce terenu radioaktywnego, nie nadającego się, do życia. Tymczasem napad na Irak nie stworzył tam super-bazy osi USA-Izrael.
