The Trial of Israel

The Trial of Israel

Jim Kirwan
1-8-9

“It is way past time,” mused an old man in the corner.
“Time for what!” barked his recently terminated program manager.
“Time to drag that little outlaw-country into the world-court and force it to answer for what they’ve been doing for the last six decades” the old-one responded; with just the hint of a smile near the corner of his ancient mouth.

Israel reminds most people of a totally out-of-control teenager who thinks of himself as both a rebel and an outlaw—when in fact he’s just a common criminal that has become a legend in his own mind. Today he is in the criminal-courts division of global-public opinion; at a hearing to determine whether or not he, Israel, should be allowed to continue to exist.

The judge orders Israel to take the stand. There is no oath and there are no lawyers here as this is a pragmatic political court that was created after the world recognized that there are no longer any laws that apply to those in power. Everyone knows that bit of history now and that since everybody lies; this court in the interests of time has dispensed with the failed trappings that were once part of courtrooms around the world.

“What have you to say for yourself in this matter before the court,” asked the somber middle-aged woman in the center of the three-judge panel.

“Well first of all I don’t belong here!” the dark-eyed boy began: “I’m Israel, and I’ve been chosen above all others to do whatever I please with the rest of humanity!”

“Um—and where would you place this court in the context of your statement Mr. Israel?”

“ You’re just like the United Nations; that international false-flag operation that keeps on sending me notices that I use to start whichever global fire I feel like lighting at the moment— you’re nothing but another empty shell that postures on the global stage” he smirked.

“We see that” said the ancient judge, with a dismissive movement of his hand. “And just what might be your second point Israel”?

“Secondly, I am not the aggressor here—Israel is the victim in this charade that has apparently caused you people to think that you have the right to question me—about anything I decide to do!” And if this outrage continues much longer I shall be forced to have my underlings just nuke this building.”

“We’re all aware of your connections Israel—they will be next—but at this moment we want to hear from you.” This speaker, the third judge, is a robust man who speaks quietly but with an inner authority. Physically he resembles Caesar Chavez of Venezuela, and his presence seems to annoy Israel just a bit.

“Yeah – well I’ll believe that when the sun rises in the West,” quipped Israel. “But, you must understand I began life as an orphan, a global outcast with nowhere to go: no place to call home! And my people were tortured and murdered by the Nazi’s as a matter of policy; and the whole world just looked on and did nothing to help my people—so we deserved to have our own country—isn’t that what this is really all about—you still hate us for being Jewish, right? Oh yeah and now because the whole world is against me, just because I had to take what I needed to survive--you need to consider my special circumstance of being alone in the world today - except for Obama-Bush I guess.

“We are here to look into what you have been doing for the last sixty years, which will tell the world what they need to know about your claims to absolute immunity from all international laws as well as the United Nations and the International Criminal Court”.

“Yeah- well for the last eight years my people can’t even enjoy a shower without having to stop and run to their bomb-shelters, because Hamas won’t stop their rocket attacks upon the civilian population of Israel! That’s an outrage to me and I was forced to eliminate this threat to the security of the state. That’s why I had to go in and eliminate those people that are creating this threat.”

The Chief Justice leaned back in her oversized chair for a moment then flipped open a file and turning to the defendant said: “Eight years? According to the Palestinian people that asked for this hearing, you have been holding them hostage, as prisoners for most of the last sixty years. I would remind you that they have virtually no drinking water, never-mind enough water for showers, and very few if any have the luxury of bomb shelters to protect them from the daily attacks, by you, from the air. So in this context the Palestinians are saying that you have been displacing, torturing, starving and murdering them for over seven times as long a period as Hamas has been sending “rockets” into those ‘civilian’ areas that were once the land they owned, where their homes and lives had existed for hundreds of years. Any comment on this Israel?

“We tried to make peace with them, but they’re not human beings they send suicide bombers to kill our innocent women and children in the streets of our cities, and now they’re threatening millions of Israeli’s with their brutal rocket attacks, upon innocent people – for no reason!” (1)

The judges spoke briefly with each other and then the third judge asked:
“Have you looked at the recent maps of what you are claiming as your state, because the boundaries of Israel have changed hundreds of times since you began this venture—and you claim you won’t be finished until all the Palestinians have been driven from “your land.” It appears to me



that there is no land left from which to fashion a viable second state, especially given the walls that you’ve used to separate farmers from their lands, people from their families and to block people from their occupations—not to mention that you’ve destroyed the viability of their lives.


Now having driven millions of Palestinians out of the country, with no right of return, you have herded the survivors of your internal and interminable wars upon the original population into two isolated camps, Gaza and the West Bank; in which you are apparently attempting to exterminate the remaining population and thereby you are seeking to end the problem by killing those that still want their land and rights returned to them, under all the international laws that you have violated as a way of life, but only for Israeli citizens. What say you Israel?

“This is my land—God gave it to me—because among all people Israel was chosen to rule over all others. The Palestinians are nothing to me but a plague to be exterminated. If that were not so, would not the other Arab counties have come to their aid by now?”

“You have failed to answer the questions I put to you Israel—but then you have never chosen to actually argue the facts, because in that area you have nothing that proves you “deserve” anything. You have behaved far worse towards the Palestinians, than the Nazi’s did against the Jews; and the Nazi persecutions of the Jews only lasted seven years, while your Zionist persecutions against not only the Jews inside Israel, but of every other people that are trying to live in “Israel” under a siege now that has lasted over eight times as long. Moreover you have stolen their lands and destroyed their property, after the Palestinians had been conquered in war.

How is it Israel that you have the gall to be ‘surprised’ that those you have treated in this way refuse to let you live-in-peace with the illegally seized booty that you have stolen from them while maiming, raping and killing, the original peoples of Palestine that are the survivors that you still brutalize and terrorize at will!”

“This is the New World Order “judge” you need to get-with-the-program, because all that stuff from the past is just history now: Israel is the way of the Future, in partnership with our friends, we shall remake the world in the 21st Century. Anyone that doesn’t join us will be eliminated!” (2)

At this point the proceedings are interrupted by air-raid sirens from the pubic loud-speakers outside. The populations are being informed to take to the shelters because Hamas & Hezbollah have joined forces and the rockets being fired are no longer without targeting devices or warheads: so this metaphorical trial must wait upon history for answers to the questions that Israel still refuses to answer for - but maybe it’s not too late for others in the region to finally inject themselves into this public rape of an imprisoned people!

UK e-mail law 'attack on rights'
The Cabinet Office has ruled e-mails older than three months must be wiped from Monday. Conservative leader Michael Howard has written to Tony Blair demanding an explanation for the move. (Gotcha again!! GJ (UK) See....... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4107563.stm
Rules forcing internet companies to keep details of every e-mail sent in the UK are a waste of money and an attack on civil liberties, critics say.From March all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will by law have to keep information about every e-mail sent or received in the UK for a year.
The government will pay the ISPs more than £25m to ensure work runs smoothly.
The Home Office insists the data, which does not include e-mails' content, is vital for crime and terror inquiries.
Dr Richard Clayton, a security researcher at the University of Cambridge's computer lab said the money could have been better spent.
He said:"There's going to be a record of every single e-mail which arrived addressed to you and all the e-mails you sent out via your ISP.
"That of course includes all the spam.
"I'd have liked to see more bobbies on an electronic beat investigating internet crimes
"There are much better things to do to spend our billions on than snooping on everybody in the country just on the off chance that they're a criminal."
The new rules are due to come into force on 15 March, as part of a European Commission directive which could affect every ISP in the country.
The firms will have to store the information under the government's Interception Modernisation Programme (IMP) and make it available to any public body which makes a lawful request.
That could include police, local councils and health authorities.
To help set up the system the government may end up paying ISPs between £25m and £70m.
The rules already apply to telephone companies, which routinely hold much of the data for billing.
'Fundamental right'
The Earl of Northesk, a Conservative peer on the House of Lords science and technology committee, said it meant anyone's movements could be traced 24 hours a day. "This degree of storage is equivalent to having access to every second, every minute, every hour of your life," he said
"People have to worry about the scale, the virtuality of your life being exposed to round about 500 public authorities. "Under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, privacy is a fundamental right... it is important to protect the principle of privacy because once you've lost it it's very difficult to recover."
The Home Office said the data was a vital tool for investigation and intelligence gathering. "It will allow investigators to identify suspects, examine their contacts, establish relationships between conspirators and place them in a specific location at a certain time. "Implementing the EC directive will enable UK law enforcement to benefit fully from historical communications data in increasingly complex investigations and will enhance our national security."
'Better things'
But the industry itself has concerns about how the new rules will work. Malcolm Hutty, from LINX (London Internet Exchange), a membership association for ISPs, said: "The position as to what the ISPs are to do is not clear." He said that on paper the law applied to all companies, but that the Home Office has been saying informally that small ISPs would be exempt. He said they were now left "in limbo", fearful of legal action if at some time in the future as the company became bigger, and they were then expected to collect the data.
Reports have suggested the government has even bigger plans for data retention. They could involve one central database, gathering details on every text sent, e-mail sent, phone call made and website visited. Consultation on the plans is due to open later this year.
The Tories have branded the government "hypocritical" over reports officials will delete millions of e-mails before new data laws take effect on 1 January.

Government to the people – Drop Dead!
Riots in Oakland

Jim Kirwan
1-8-9

On New Years morning a 22-year old man, the father of a four year old daughter, was shot and killed by Bart police in the Fruitvale BART station.
He had two jobs and had turned his life around. He also had many friends.

For any crime of this nature, committed by a civilian, a “police report” would be mandatory within hours of the event; especially when there were three videos of what happened. The officer’s gun is in police custody, the officer is a FEDERAL police officer, as BART is a federal agency: So procedures should have been clearly followed immediately. Yet, it is now a week later and the officer has still not even been interviewed, according to the ‘chief’ of BART police. Yesterday he quit the force, so that he would not have to give his version of events: and this sparked the riots!

Numerous “investigations” (whitewashes one and all, after all this time has passed) – but still the public gets no response from any of their so-called officials that were supposed to be on top of this from the beginning: especially since the victim was black.

The ‘rumor’ is that the officer thought he was going to shoot the victim with his stun gun, instead of his police revolver – that “accident’ is manslaughter which carries an automatic prison sentence, if he is convicted. It took the BART police five days to come up with that lame idea that the officer 'thought he was using his stun gun' instead of his service revolver,

If this death was on purpose then it was murder plain and simple as the man was face-down on the platform with his hands behind his back, and he was not resisting the three pig-like individuals that were surrounding him; one was directly on top of him and the other two supporting whatever was going on.

The bullet went through the victim entering through his lower back and ricocheting off the sidewalk back into his upper body and that killed him instantly. The “police” apparently are treating this as an accident and not as a death that needs to be dealt with, like it does with all those other black men that commit crimes in Oakland California. If a black man had shot an unresisting white man a police report would have been written by the following day, if not sooner: and the officer would have been grilled immediately.

In this case the officer has still not given a statement as to what happened nor has he been arrested. Instead the BART Police Chief said “his privacy is being respected because he has been devastated by what happened.” Wonderful – what about the nightmare that his actions caused for the man’s loved ones and the community, nevermind the fact that he killed a man. Justic might be blind but she cannot be indifferent? The officer, Johannes Mehserle has been moved several times because his life has been threatened. However If. Mehserle was in jail; where he should be, he could be put under 24-hour guard and protected from death threats. But this was not done either.

Here’s what the San Francisco Chronicle had to say in part.
“The protest had started calmly shortly after 3 p.m. at the Fruitvale Station in Oakland, where BART police Officer Johannes Mehserle shot 22-year-old Grant of Hayward a week ago. BART shut down the station well into the evening commute, although the demonstration there was peaceful.
However, shortly after nightfall, a group of roughly 200 protesters split off and headed toward downtown Oakland, prompting the transit agency to close the Lake Merritt and 12th Street stations. The group wreaked havoc through much of downtown, drawing hundreds of police in riot gear. It wasn't until roughly 10:40 p.m that police clamped down on the mob, arresting dozens who were cornered near the Paramount Theatre, and bringing an end to the mayhem.
Earlier in the evening, Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums met the mob on 14th Street, urging calm and leading them on a walk to City Hall, where he gave a speech. I sense your frustration," he told the crowd. "I understand that you've lost confidence in a process because you've seen what you believe is a homicide ... But listen to me, we are a community of people. We are civilized people. We are a nation of laws””.
Apparently the Oakland crowd found this blatant lie to be just ‘too much’ to stomach once again and especially from the government that has done everything it can to destroy Oakland and its citizens rather than to even attempt anything to even remotely begin to save it or them! (2)
Riots can be very dangerous things as they tend to develop a life of their own. And as the participants ‘know’ that nothing gets media coverage unless there is at least some destruction of property, the future for those involved here appears to only be just beginning: thanks entirely to the cavalier attitude of the police and the government at all levels!
