ISRAEL COHEN (1912)
"We must realize that our party's most powerful weapon is racial tensions. By propounding into the consciousness of the dark races that for centuries they have been oppressed by whites, we can mold them to the program of the Communist Party. In America we will aim for subtle victory. While inflaming the Negro minority against the whites, we will endeavor to instill in the whites a guilt complex for their exploitation of the Negros. We will aid the Negroes to rise in prominence in every walk of life, in the professions and in the world of sports and entertainment. With this prestige, the Negro will be able to intermarry with the whites and begin a process which will deliver America to our cause."

Açaí Berry

Acai Berry Benefits

Note: US FDA Disclaimer

Recent media coverage by the Oprah Winfrey Show, Rachael Ray, ABC, NBC and CBS shows have touted the many benefits of acai. And doctors and celebrities have heralded acai as the number 1 Superfood. The extremely high concentration of antioxidants, omega fatty acids, amino acids, fiber and other nutrients are the reason this superfood has so many benefits. In summary, here are just some of the many benefits that acai berry can help with:

* Promote weight loss
* Increase energy and stamina
* Fight heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other diseases
* Boost the immune system
* Improve the digestive system
* Reduce the effects of aging
* Improve vision
* Increase sex drive

Promote Weight Loss

Acai Berry Weight Loss
Acai has an extremely high concentration of fiber and omega fatty acids. It also contains a healthy dose of amino acids, carbohydrates and vitamins. These nutrients have been shown to:

* suppress appetite
* reduce accumulation of body fat
* boost metabolism
* increase energy and stamina

Approximately 40% of the acai fruit is fiber. There are many benefits from fiber. Since fiber tends to make a meal feel larger and linger longer, it acts as a natural appetite suppressant. And since it helps stabilize blood sugar, it helps keep energy levels stable and higher by preventing sugar crashes. This also helps reduce accumulation of body fat by preventing insulin spikes which can turn excess blood sugar into fat tissue.

The omega fatty acids, fiber, amino acids and vitamins in acai can also help to boost metabolism. And a boost in metabolism can help burn more calories — even at rest.

Combined with a proper diet and exercise, the various nutrients in acai can be a great aid to weight loss and better overall health.

Read more about diet and weight loss.
Increase Energy and Stamina

Acai Berry Diet Acai has become legendary among Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighters, top surfers and other athletes for it’s ability to boost energy and increase stamina. Legendary Jiu-Jitsu fighters Carlos and Royce Gracie have used acai to propel them to multiple UFC and other championships. And 6 time world champion surfer Kelly Slater made acai an important part of his diet. If world class athletes can use acai to boost energy and stamina in competition, it can certainly help you with your training or exercise regimen. And the more energy you have, the more calories you can burn in your workout.

The right combination of nutrients eaten at regular intervals will help keep energy levels high. And the high concentration of carbohydrates, proteins and healthy fats in acai help to fuel activity while the high concentration of fiber helps to regulate blood sugar levels and keep energy levels higher for longer.
Fight heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other diseases

Perhaps one of the main reasons that acai is considered the number one Superfood is because of the nutrients that help prevent diseases and help promote general health. Acai contains one of the highest concentrations of antioxidants, omega fatty acids, other good fats and fiber of any food. And these nutrients can reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and other diseases. For example, the high concentration of antioxidants are thought to help prevent Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, neurodegenerative diseases, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. The high concentration of fiber and beta-sitosterol can lower blood cholesterol. Fiber also helps to lower glucose levels which can help prevent diabetes. And oleic acid, an omega 9 fatty acid which is the chief component of olive oil, can reduce blood pressure. A recent University of Florida study has even linked consumption of acai to prevention of leukemia! With high concentrations of nutrients which help combat many diseases, it’s easy to see why acai is considered by many to be the number one superfood.

Read more about acai nutritional information.
Boost the immune system

The immune system protects against diseases and pathogens like viruses, bacteria and parasites through the use of mechanisms like enzymes, good bacteria, proteins, cells, organs, tissues, etc. The high concentration of antioxidants and other nutrients in the acai berry can help bolster the immune system by contributing to the healthy function of those mechanisms which protect against pathogens.
Improve the digestive system

The high fiber content, enzymes and other nutrients in acai may not only help to reduce heart disease by lowering blood cholesterol and stabilizing blood sugar, but they also aid in the proper functioning of the digestive system. The enzymes can aid in the digestion of food. And the fiber can help prevent hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome and prevent or relieve constipation. The high fiber content in acai can help ensure that you get your recommended daily allowance of fiber and help maintain a healthy digestive system.
Reduce the effects of aging


In addition to helping prevent diseases, the high concentration of antioxidants in acai may help reduce the effects of aging. By minimizing damage to cells from free radicals, antioxidants may prevent the effects of aging caused by oxidative stress due to normal bodily function (e.g. exercise) or external causes like sun damage, pesticides, pollutants, cigarette smoke, etc. For example, vitamin E and other antioxidants are thought to help prevent skin damage due to sun exposure and other causes.
Improve vision

Anthocyanins and other antioxidants such as Vitamin A are thought to improve vision through various mechanisms. In fact, in World War II, British fighter pilots were thought to gain increased night vision through an intake of large amounts of bilberry. A later nutritional analysis attributed the vision improvement to anthocyanins and other antioxidants. And the old adage that carrots (high in Vitamin A and other antioxidants) may improve vision may have something to it as well.
Increase sex drive

Due to the increased energy and stamina, acai is considered by many to increase libido. Acai can also help reduce weight, improve heart health — all of which can help libido as well. And the abundance of “good” fats helps metabolize cholesterol and produce testosterone and estrogen. In fact, on a recent trip by NBC’s Matt Lauer to the Amazon, he was amused to find that acai berry was commonly referred to by natives as “Amazon Rainforest Viagra“.

Codex Alimentarius

The United States federal government has been known to initiate some of the most sickest and inhumane policies known to man. On December 31, 2009, Codex Alimentarius will qualify to be catergorized with such a label. Developed in 1963, the United Nations and World Health Organization patterned a plan that could be used as a step toward a more intense level of global control. This policy is an intricate attempt to label vitamins as poison. This policy will inflict billions of people with malnutrition and the diseases that come along with this condition. The following video link will provide further information. What we must do as an organization is prepare ourselves; mentally, physically, and spiritually. This day is rapidly approaching.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE FRIST BLACK PRESIDENT






TRUE 1st BLACK PRESIDENT...not Obama...
Category: Life
Here is another interesting site I found, I know it's old news, but I feel it's relevant to all the lies & dis-in-formation, -that is placed out there to confuse us on our journey, anyways so here is the article or you can click here to go to source...

A Moor, John Hanson... 1st President of the United State.. 1781-1782 A.D

A Moor, John Hanson 1781-1782 A.D. was the First President of the United States!

George Washington
was really the 8th President of the United States!


George Washington was not the first President of the United States. In fact, the first President of the United States was one John Hanson. Don't go checking the encyclopedia for this guy's name - he is one of those great men that are lost to history. If you're extremely lucky, you may actually find a brief mention of his name.

The new country was actually formed on March 1, 1781 with the adoption of The Articles of Confederation.

This document was actually proposed on June 11, 1776, but not agreed upon by Congress until November 15, 1777. Maryland refused to sign this document until Virginia and New York ceded their western lands (Maryland was afraid that these states would gain too much power in the new government from such large amounts of land).

Once the signing took place in 1781, a President was needed to run the country. John Hanson was chosen unanimously by Congress (which included George Washington). In fact, all the other potential candidates refused to run against him, as he was a major player in the revolution and an extremely influential member of Congress.

As the first President, Hanson had quite the shoes to fill. No one had ever been President and the role was poorly defined. His actions in office would set precedent for all future Presidents.

He took office just as the Revolutionary War ended. Almost immediately, the troops demanded to be paid. As would be expected after any long war, there were no funds to meet the salaries. As a result, the soldiers threatened to overthrow the new government and put Washington on the throne as a monarch.

All the members of Congress ran for their lives, leaving Hanson as the only guy left running the government. He somehow managed to calm the troops down and hold the country together. If he had failed, the government would have fallen almost immediately and everyone would have been bowing to King Washington. In fact, Hanson sent 800 pounds of sterling siliver by his brother Samuel Hanson to George Wasington to provide the troops with shoes.

Hanson, as President, ordered all foreign troops off American soil, as well as the removal of all foreign flags. This was quite the feat, considering the fact that so many European countries had a stake in the United States since the days following Columbus.

Hanson established the Great Seal of the United States, which all Presidents have since been required to use on all official documents.

President Hanson also established the first Treasury Department, the first Secretary of War, and the first Foreign Affairs Department.

Lastly, he declared that the fourth Thursday of every November was to be Thanksgiving Day, which is still true today.

The Articles of Confederation only allowed a President to serve a one year term during any three year period, so Hanson actually accomplished quite a bit in such little time.

Six other presidents were elected after him - Elias Boudinot (1783), Thomas Mifflin (1784), Richard Henry Lee (1785), Nathan Gorman (1786), Arthur St. Clair (1787), and Cyrus Griffin (1788) - all prior to Washington taking office.

So what happened?

Why don't we ever hear about the first seven Presidents of the United States?

It's quite simple - The Articles of Confederation didn't work well. The individual states had too much power and nothing could be agreed upon.

A new doctrine needed to be written - something we know as the Constitution.

And that leads us to the end of our story.

George Washington was definitely not the first President of the United States. He was the first President of the United States under the Constitution we follow today.

And the first seven Presidents are forgotten in history

A Time for Peace & A Time for War! by Ivan Sanchez

Time for Peace & A Time for War!By Ivan Sanchez
It’s always a hard decision to make when you have to decide between sitting back quietly while allowing someone to take advantage of your kindness… and speaking out at the risk of making yourself look bad in the process of doing so.

As a youth advocate, I always have to be careful what kind of message I’m putting out there to the world… But in this instant, I felt it necessary to speak out as opposed to sit back and continue to be taken for a ride by a man who believed he could use threat tactics to silence me.

A week before I received the final copy of “It’s Just Begun,” in the mail… I was contacted by powerHouse that the legendary DJ Disco Wiz wanted me removed from the project. Seems I was “only” necessary to actually “write” the book… and then I became very dispensable…

I attended the book release party to prove a point that no one was going to keep me away from a celebration that I deserved to be at, since it did take two years of my life to see this book come to fruition. As the party wrapped so to did my friendship with DJ Disco Wiz and I decided to walk away quietly and peacefully…

Until…

I continued to read press on the book in which I am completely erased as the Author (co-author) of “It’s Just Begun…”

Even worse was Wiz misleading the public that he decided to write his life story, when in fact he wanted to write a hip hop poetry book… You can see him in his own words on the Bronx Talk video (http://bronxnet.fliggo.com/video/mcHhjfPw) stating that it was me who told him I was there to write his life story…

My next step was to reach out to the inner-circle for advice, guidance and to speak to Wiz about his actions… when that too failed… I decided it was time to go public and speak out against the bullying ways of DJ Disco Wiz…

Below is my open letter to Wiz along with his very intelligent and well thought out response! (Please don’t allow your children to read Wiz’s response as there are just a few explicatives used).

No matter what this does to my future friendships, working relationships, book projects and youth advocacy work… My decision to speak out is not an emotional one… It is a well thought out decision to shine a light on the way many of us treat one another when we feel we can get away with it… It’s my decision to speak out against wrong… and if I don’t… then the advice I give to the youth on a daily basis is nothing more than a farce…

(My letter to Wiz)

To DJ Disco Wiz,

Back in early 2007 you asked me to help you write a book. I had a lot of respect for who you were as a pioneer and I wanted to help another brother out… So I agreed immediately to help you… BEFORE I HAD ANY IDEA HOW POWERFUL YOUR STORY WAS! I did it out of love…

When we first sat down you showed me a collection of poetry and said you wanted to write almost like a “Hip Hop Meets Spoken Words” kind of book… But I told you I wasn’t there for that… I told you that I was there to write your life story – because we all had one…

And so the journey began…

I recall being yelled at by your wife because I wanted to write about your arrest for attempted murder… I also recall fighting very hard to write two chapters about your incarceration – one prior to your discovering yourself and one while on the road to redemption… I fought very hard to make this an honest memoir that people would respect… and it looks like I won the battle to put out a great book about your life – but I’m losing the war to be recognized for my tireless efforts…

In your own words you’ve stated, “It was very therapeutic.” And in your own words you’ve stated, “Ivan told me he wanted to write about my life,” but lately in your own words and the words of journalists who have interviewed you… you seem to have completely forgotten about the man who sacrificed two years of his life, hundreds of hours of travel, thousands of dollars and hundreds of lost hours of sleep actually penning your life story.

In all of the recent media on “In the Loop,” “Mun2,” “Village Voice,” and 30 minutes of interviews with powerHouse TV you fail to mention my name even once! How fucking sad is that???

You went from wanting to hide your incarceration to stating in the Village Voice, “The only reason I'm talking to you now is because I was quicker on the trigger." Fuck MEEEEEEEEEEE!! That sounds like a little bit of a glorification… Let me find out you’re hanging out with 50 Cent, Dipset and D-Block now…

I never asked for the spotlight Wiz… Frankly, I don’t need it… But it would be nice to have the person who you worked so hard for over the last two years recognize your hard work out of love, that same love that got you to where you are today.

I thought it was cute how I was kept from every microphone and tape-recorder in the building at the book release party… Well designed plan to erase a person from the history books…

Personally, I think you need an ego-check… But maybe that’s just me… For the record… I wish you nothing but the greatest of all success… even if there is no future in your frontin’…

- Ivan Sanchez

Obama Claims CIA Involvement In Iran “Patently False”

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet.com
Wednesday, June 24, 2009



President Barack Obama was forced to address accusations that the CIA was involved in fomenting the post-election riots in Iran during his White House press conference yesterday, claiming the allegations were “patently false,” despite the fact that the U.S. government publicly gave the CIA approval to undertake a destabilization campaign in Iran more than two years ago.

“There are reports suggesting that the CIA is behind all this - all of which is patently false but it gives you a sense of the narrative that the Iranian government would love to play into,” said Obama.

CIA involvement in Iran is not a “narrative” manufactured by the Iranian government, as Obama well knows.

As we highlighted in our report earlier this week, evidence of U.S. intelligence meddling in Iran is widespread, which is no surprise considering the fact that the U.S. all but announced they would pursue a destabilization campaign in Iran years ago.

In May 2007, the London Telegraph and others revealed that President George W. Bush had “Given the CIA approval to launch covert “black” operations to achieve regime change in Iran.”

On May 23, 2007, Brian Ross and Richard Esposito reported on ABC News: “The CIA has received secret presidential approval to mount a covert “black” operation to destabilize the Iranian government, current and former officials in the intelligence community tell ABC News.”

The plan set in motion CIA propaganda and disinformation campaigns “intended to destabilise, and eventually topple, the theocratic rule of the mullahs”.


It also released funds to bankroll the militant Jundullah organization, an Al-Qaeda offshoot formerly headed by the alleged mastermind of 9/11 Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. The group has been blamed for a number of bombings inside Iran aimed at destabilizing Ahmadinejad’s government.

It is widely suspected that the well known right-wing terrorist organization known as Mujahedeen-e Khalq, once run by Saddam Hussein’s dreaded intelligence services, is now also working exclusively for the CIA’s Directorate of Operations and carrying out bombings in Iran. A large number of Mujahedeen-e Khalq members were arrested following riots last week, according to a Press TV report. The article claims that the men were “extensively trained in Iraq’s camp Ashraf to create post-election mayhem in the country”.

As part of CIA destabilization efforts in Iran, former Pakistani Army General Mirza Aslam Beig last week claimed that the Agency had distributed 400 million dollars inside Iran to evoke a revolution. Beig cited documents that prove “the CIA spent 400 million dollars inside Iran to prop up a colorful-hollow revolution following the election.”

The CIA program approved by Bush also included funding opposition groups and providing them with communications equipment that would bypass Internet censorship and allow demonstrators to communicate.

Twitter and other social networking websites have played a key role in the demonstrations. The U.S. State Department, which routinely demonizes the Internet as a tool of extremists and terrorists when it is used to criticize U.S. foreign policy, took the unprecedented step last week of requesting that Twitter.com “delay planned maintenance work so that Iranian protesters can continue to use it to post images and reports of unrest,” according to a London Times report.

According to several different reports, the CIA and Mossad has been creating fake Twitter feeds and flooding Iranians with SMS messages inspiring them to riot.

According to author Thierry Meyssan, Iranians received messages before the election votes had even been counted telling them that the Iranian Guardian Council had declared Mir-Hossein Mousavi to be the winner. When the official announcement of Ahmadinejad’s victory was later broadcast, the sentiment that fraud had took place was therefore amplified.

Meyssan also charges that the CIA and Mossad used Twitter feeds to put out fake reports of gun fights and deaths that were never confirmed, rousing Iranians to riot in the belief that their fellow countrymen were being brutally suppressed by the authorities.

Another website clearly documents the fact that the main Twitter accounts used to send out hundreds of alerts during the protests were only recently created and had not send out any alerts whatsoever before the protests began.

Top Neo-Cons with deep ties to the U.S. military-industrial complex like John Bolton and Henry Kissinger have been calling for the CIA to fund a ‘color revolution’ in Iran for years as a gateway to regime change.

Lest we forget that it was a violent CIA coup that led to the overthrow of the democratically elected Iranian Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh in 1953 under Operation Ajax. The ousting was achieved by means of staged bombings and shootings which were blamed on the Iranian government in order to antagonize the population and enable the coup. During the coup, the CIA also bribed Iranian government officials, businessmen, and reporters, and paid Iranians to demonstrate in the streets.

Given this history, allied with the U.S. government’s own public program to instigate a destabilization campaign in Iran through the CIA, Obama’s claim that CIA involvement is “patently false” is clearly contradicted by the facts. The only thing that’s “patently false” is Obama’s statement itself.

US Lawmakers Take Advantage To Target Iran Gasoline Imports.

US lawmakers are taking advantage of the election chaos in Iran to push through dangerous legislation targeting gasoline imports into Iran. This has been in the works for years even before the election controversy, it is a clear economic assault on the Iranian people.

http://rawstory.com/news/afp/US_lawmakers_target_Iran_gasoline_i_06232009.html

Spurred on by post-election turmoil in Iran, a key committee in the US House of Representatives voted Tuesday to target the Islamic republic's gasoline imports and its domestic energy sector.

The House Appropriations Committee approved by voice vote a measure prohibiting the US Export-Import Bank from helping companies that export gasoline to Iran or support its production at home.

"While students are murdered in the streets of Tehran, we should not use taxpayer money to bolster the Iranian economy," said Republican Representative Mark Kirk, a leading author of the provision.

Because of a lack of domestic refining capacity, oil-rich Iran is dependent on gasoline imports to meet about 40 percent of domestic consumption.

Iran gets most of its gasoline imports from the Swiss firm Vitol, the Swiss/Dutch firm Trafigura, France's Total, the Swiss firm Glencore and British Petroleum, as well as the Indian firm Reliance.

In 2007 and 2008, the US Export-Import Bank approved two separate loan guarantees totaling 900 million dollars to expand the largest refinery owned by Reliance, which provides roughly one-third of Iran?s daily import of gasoline, Kirk's office said.

Kirks' measure was an amendment attached to the annual spending bill to cover the expenses of the US State Department and other US foreign operations, which must clear the House and Senate before being signed into law.

Even before protestors took to the streets of Tehran after the contested Iranian presidential election, lawmakers had targeted the Islamic republic's imports of refined petroleum products and foreign investments in its energy sector to break its defiance of global pressure over its suspect nuclear program.

US Kills 65 In Pakistan With New Drone Strike.

The vicious Obama bombing campaign continues in Pakistan, this time killing 65 including people trying to rescue survivors from the first wave of the attack.

http://news.antiwar.com/2009/06/23/at-least-65-killed-as-us-drones-attack-south-waziristan-funeral-procession/

On Thursday, US drones launched an attack on a compound in South Waziristan, and when locals rushed to the scene to rescue survivors, they launched more missiles at them, leaving a total of 13 dead. The timing and target of the attack were controversial, as was the tactic of luring locals in with a first strike to maximize the kill count. Today, locals were involved in a funeral procession when the US struck again.

Drones attacked what they suspected was a “militant hideout” early today, killing at least 17. When mourners gathered to offer prayers for those slain in the first attack, the drones struck again, attacking the procession it self and bringing the overall toll to at least 65, according to witnesses.

The recent attacks show a level of aggression and a willingness to target gatherings likely to contain many innocent people unseen in previous US strikes in the area. Generally speaking, most of the dozens of attacks against South Waziristan have been isolated strikes against buildings, and were not followed up with supplementary attacks on the gathering crowds.

The attacks come as the Pakistani government begins to ratchet up its own military offensive in the area. It is possible that the Pakistani military’s history of indiscriminate shelling of civilian targets and eagerness for massive kill counts is eliminating the diplomatic obstacles which have kept the deaths from the Americans’ own attacks comparatively low.

U.S. is VERY Interested in Iran Elections

Why the US Wants to Delegitimize the Iranian Elections

By PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration.

How much attention do elections in Japan, India, Argentina, or any other country, get from the U.S. media? How many Americans and American journalists even know who is in political office in other countries besides England, France, and Germany? Who can name the political leaders of Switzerland, Holland, Brazil, Japan, or even China?

Yet, many know of Iran’s President Ahmadinejad. The reason is obvious. He is daily demonized in the U.S. media.

The U.S. media’s demonization of Ahmadinejad itself demonstrates American ignorance. The President of Iran is not the ruler. He is not the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. He cannot set policies outside the boundaries set by Iran’s rulers, the ayatollahs who are not willing for the Iranian Revolution to be overturned by American money in some color-coded “revolution.”

Iranians have a bitter experience with the United States government. Their first democratic election, after emerging from occupied and colonized status in the 1950s, was overturned by the U.S. government. The U.S. government installed in place of the elected candidate a dictator who tortured and murdered dissidents who thought Iran should be an independent country and not ruled by an American puppet.

The U.S. “superpower” has never forgiven the Iranian Islamic ayatollahs for the Iranian Revolution in the late 1970s, which overthrew the U.S. puppet government and held hostage U.S. embassy personnel, regarded as “a den of spies,” while Iranian students pieced together shredded embassy documents that proved America’s complicity in the destruction of Iranian democracy.

The government-controlled U.S. corporate media, a Ministry of Propaganda, has responded to the re-election of Ahmadinejad with non-stop reports of violent Iranians protests to a stolen election. A stolen election is presented as a fact, even thought there is no evidence for it whatsoever. The U.S. media’s response to the documented stolen elections during the George W. Bush/Karl Rove era was to ignore the evidence of real stolen elections.

Leaders of the puppet states of Great Britain and Germany have fallen in line with the American psychological warfare operation. The discredited British Foreign Secretary, David Miliband, expressed his “serioU.S. doubt” about Ahmadinejad’s victory to a meeting of European Union ministers in Luxembourg. Miliband, of course, has no source of independent information. He is simply following Washington’s instructions and relying on unsupported claims by the defeated candidate preferred by the U.S. Government.

Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany, had her arm twisted, too. She called in the Iranian ambassador to demand “more transparency” on the elections.

Even the American left-wing has endorsed the U.S. government’s propaganda. Writing in The Nation, Robert Dreyfus’s presents the hysterical views of one Iranian dissident as if they are the definitive truth about “the illegitimate election,” terming it “a coup d’etat.”

What is the source of the information for the U.S. media and the American puppet states?

Nothing but the assertions of the defeated candidate, the one America prefers.

However, there is hard evidence to the contrary. An independent, objective poll was conducted in Iran by American pollsters prior to the election. The pollsters, Ken Ballen of the nonprofit Center for Public Opinion and Patrick Doherty of the nonprofit New America Foundation, describe their poll results in the June 15 Washington Post. The polling was funded by the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and was conducted in Farsi “by a polling company whose work in the region for ABC News and the BBC has received an Emmy award.”*

The poll results, the only real information we have at this time, indicate that the election results reflect the will of the Iranian voters. Among the extremely interesting information revealed by the poll is the following:

“Many experts are claiming that the margin of victory of incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the result of fraud or manipulation, but our nationwide public opinion survey of Iranians three weeks before the vote showed Ahmadinejad leading by a more than 2 to 1 margin -- greater than his actual apparent margin of victory in Friday's election.

“While Western news reports from Tehran in the days leading up to the voting portrayed an Iranian public enthusiastic about Ahmadinejad's principal opponent, Mir Hossein Moussavi, our scientific sampling from across all 30 of Iran's provinces showed Ahmadinejad well ahead.

“The breadth of Ahmadinejad's support was apparent in our pre-election survey. During the campaign, for instance, Moussavi emphasized his identity as an Azeri, the second-largest ethnic group in Iran after Persians, to woo Azeri voters. Our survey indicated, though, that Azeris favored Ahmadinejad by 2 to 1 over MoU.S.avi.

“Much commentary has portrayed Iranian youth and the Internet as harbingers of change in this election. But our poll found that only a third of Iranians even have access to the Internet, while 18-to-24-year-olds comprised the strongest voting bloc for Ahmadinejad of all age groups.

“The only demographic groups in which our survey found Moussavi leading or competitive with Ahmadinejad were university students and graduates, and the highest-income Iranians. When our poll was taken, almost a third of Iranians were also still undecided. Yet the baseline distributions we found then mirror the results reported by the Iranian authorities, indicating the possibility that the vote is not the product of widespread fraud.”

There have been numerous news reports that the U.S. government has implemented a program to destabilize Iran. There have been reports that the U.S. government has financed bombings and assassinations within Iran. The U.S. media treats these reports in a braggadocio manner as illustrations of the American Superpower’s ability to bring dissenting countries to heel, while some foreign media see these reports as evidence of the U.S. government’s inherent immorality.

Pakistan’s former military chief, General Mirza Aslam Beig, said on Pashto Radio on Monday, June 15, that undisputed intelligence proves the U.S. interfered in the Iranian election. “The documents prove that the CIA spent 400 million dollars inside Iran to prop up a colorful but hollow revolution following the election.”

The success of the U.S. government in financing color revolutions in former Soviet Georgia and Ukraine and in other parts of the former Soviet empire have been widely reported and discussed, with the U.S. media treating it as an indication of U.S. omnipotence and natural right and some foreign media as a sign of U.S. interference in the internal affairs of other countries. It is certainly within the realm of possibility that Mir Hossein Moussavi is a bought and paid for operative of the U.S. government.

We know for a fact that the U.S. government has psychological warfare operations that target both Americans and foreigners through the U.S. and foreign media. Many articles have been published on this subject.

Think about the Iranian election from a common sense standpoint. Neither myself nor the vast majority of readers are Iranian experts. But from a common sense standpoint, if your country was under constant threat of attack, even nuclear attack, from two countries with much more powerful military establishments, as is Iran from the U.S. and Israel, would you desert your country’s best defender and elect the preferred candidate of the U.S. and Israel?

Do you believe that the Iranian people would have voted to become an American puppet state?

Iran is an ancient and sophisticated society. Much of the intellectual class is secularized. A significant, but small, percentage of the youth has fallen in thrall to Western devotion to personal pleasure, and to self-absorption. These people are easily organized with American money to give their government and Islamic constraints on personal behavior the bird.

The U.S. government is taking advantage of these westernized Iranians to create a basis for discrediting the Iranian election and the Iranian government.

On June 14, the McClatchy Washington Bureau, which sometimes attempts to report the real news, acquiesced to Washington’s psychological warfare and declared: “Iran election result makes Obama’s outreach efforts harder.” What we see here is the raising of the ugly head of the excuse for “diplomatic failure,” leaving only a military solution.

As a person who has seen it all from inside the U.S. government, I believe that the purpose of the U.S. government’s manipulation of the American and puppet government media is to discredit the Iranian government by portraying the Iranian government as an oppressor of the Iranian people and a frustrater of the Iranian people’s will. This is how the U.S. government is setting up Iran for military attack.

With the help of Moussavi, the U.S. government is creating another “oppressed people,” like Iraqis under Saddam Hussein, who require American lives and money to liberate. Has Moussavi, the American candidate in the Iranian election who was roundly trounced, been chosen by Washington to become the American puppet ruler of Iran?

The great macho superpower is eager to restore its hegemony over the Iranian people, thus settling the score with the ayatollahs who overthrew American rule of Iran in 1978.
That is the script. You are watching it every minute on U.S. television.

There is no end of “experts” to support the script. For one example among hundreds, we have Gary Sick, who formerly served on the National Security Council and currently teaches at Columbia University:

"If they'd been a little more modest and said Ahmadinejad had won by 51 percent," Sick said, Iranians might have been dubious but more accepting. But the government's assertion that Ahmadinejad won with 62.6 percent of the vote, "is not credible."

"I think,” continued Sick, “it does mark a real transition point in the Iranian Revolution, from a position of claiming to have its legitimacy based on the support of the population, to a position that has increasingly relied on repression. The voice of the people is ignored."

The only hard information available is the poll referenced above. The poll found that Ahmadinejad was the favored candidate by a margin of two to one.

But as in everything else having to do with American hegemony over other peoples, facts and truth play no part. Lies and propaganda rule.

Consumed by its passion for hegemony, America is driven prevail over others, morality and justice be damned. This world-threatening script will play until America bankrupts itself and has so alienated the rest of the world that it is isolated and universally despised.

R.I.P IZ THE WIZ

Graffiti artist 'Iz the Wiz' dies

Friday, June 19th 2009, 4:00 AM

Graffiti artist Michael (Iz the Wiz) Martin, a legendary figure who painted scores of subway trains during a prolific career, has died of an apparent heart attack, friends and blogs said yesterday. He was 49.

Martin collapsed at his brother's Florida home early Wednesday, and later died.

Known for his trademark "Iz" tag, Martin grew up in Queens and was a prominent figure among old-school graffiti artists and the hip-hop pioneers who hung out with them.

Just last week, he appeared at a Bronx art gallery where he painted lifesize replicas of subway cars for fans.

His career began in 1972 and spanned decades before the city virtually eliminated graffiti with new subway cars and stepped-up security.

Martin moved to Florida as his health declined in recent years and he had trouble paying rent and health care expenses, friends said.

Online message boards and graffiti appreciation sites were filled with condolence messages for Martin last night.

Martin once served as president of graffiti group The Master Blasters and the Queens division of Prisoners Of Graffiti.

Martin appeared in the documentary film "Style Wars" and portrayed a transit police detective in the film "Wild Style."

His work has been displayed in museums and galleries throughout the world, including a 2001 exhibit at the Queens Museum of Art.

Gracie Diet: Fruit Picking Techniques

Here is Rener Gracie one of my favorite Gracie instructors at the Gracie Academy. Trained me for 2 years about.

Start the Day With Downward Facing Dog



My time last week at the Green Yoga Conference inspired me to reconnect with the environment. Many yoga postures are meant to embody different animals and help us remember our connection to nature. In the next few weeks, I’ll share several simple postures to celebrate the natural world. You may already know many of them, but this time when you practice them, get in touch with your inner animal before you focus on whether you’re toning your tummy or trimming your thighs. Focus on the posture’s vibe—yogis call this bhvar. This week, work on the Downward Facing Dog pose. Try to envision yourself as a slightly sleepy pup, just up from a nap; it’ll help you really feel energized by this stretch. By channeling your thoughts in this manner, you’ll have a completely different experience with this everyday pose.



Begin on your hands and knees with your hands shoulder-width and parallel fingers pointing forward. Keeping your arms very straight, curl your toes under and lift your hips up and back away from your hands, creating one straight line between your wrists, shoulders, and sit bones. Allow your head to relax. Begin to press your heels into the floor. Don’t worry if they don’t make it—the act of trying to press them down strengthens the legs and pulls the weight of your body back. If you need to keep a slight bend in your knees for your lower back, that’s fine—just keep lengthening the spine. Take some long, deep breaths and get into the feeling of being a dog!
