I got a NoCon, Camera June 22 2011

With this post, work will resume on Talking Back to CSpan, with the added feature of correct D framing efforts of migrant Kaplan on camera.Works C-SPAN watch pH. Once agenda is to force all Americans used hand opinions into opinions that are favorable to the Jewish people or to Israel. One and camera insists that any American expiration of opinion that does not deflect favorably on Jewish people or on Israel is unacceptable. Murdoch and my Rick Kaplan attempt with some success to create a chilling effect on C-SPAN moderators.

Here's the latest example of my Rick Kaplan's work on C-SPAN watch this page:

• June 22, 2011 – 7:07 AM

Host: GRETA BRAWNER.

Topic: When should U.S. engage in war?

Caller: Ron from Miami, Florida (anti-Israel repeat caller).

Caller: “Yes. Thank you. I have a problem with all these wars going on. We have to realize that we can't just keep going in and fighting these wars. We have to understand that Israel has a lot to do with it. If we solve the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, we could solve the war on terrorism and that's really what it comes down to.”

NOTE: Previous guest by phone (from 7:02 to 7:05 AM), Frank Oliveri, Congressional Quarterly's defense and foreign policy reporter, discussed congressional deliberations regarding war policy, particularly as it relates to drawdown of American troops in Afghanistan. The broadcast's first caller, “Ron from Miami,” asserted that the cause of “these wars” is the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. Every “Ron from Miami” call targets mainly or only Israel for blame – examples: May 7, 2011 (7:11 AM), March 27, 2011 (8:00 AM) and Jan. 28, 2011 (7:03 AM).

As usual for a number of Washington Journal callers like Ron, indulged by Journal hosts, mindlessly blaming Israel is accepted by C-SPAN. A competent host would have pointed out the obvious: the U.S. conflict with Afghanistan's Taliban and al Qaeda, America's military involvement in the turmoil in Libya, or the 2003 invasion of Iraq and continued troop presence there have had no direct connection to the Palestinian conflict with Israel. Neither would a resolution of that conflict have affected American involvement in the 1991 Persian Gulf War, prevented the 1980 - 1988 Iraq-Iran war, or blocked the upheavals that have shaken numerous Arab countries this year. But on C-SPAN's Washington Journal broadcasts, tolerance regularly is extended for chronic, biased attacks on only one nation – Israel.


In his explanation of why it is wrong for Americans to blame Israel for the masking at least Kaplan resorts to near-term is straight but not to the to the core of the issue. If in his remarks on January 23, 2011 stating his rationale for the limited troop drawdown from Afghanistan president Obama said that you American people were acting in accord with American values and that they sought to allow self determination to all people's to the people of Afghanistan and East. Jack is a critical phrase in his 14 points, Pres. Woodrow Wilson promised self-determination to the states of the former Ottoman Empire. When Wilson reneged on that promise and instead honored the terms of the Balfour declaration, the Arab states were outraged they were resentful. They felt abused and exploited. Coupled with the increasing colonized Asian of Palestine by European Jews, and of British occupying forces actions in displacing Arabs and getting between and and being forced to insert themselves between Arabs and Jews in numerous conflicts over territory and trading rights and commercial interest in Palestine Arabs seem recently came out on the short and of the equalization, and gradually came to understand that their situation was not going to get any better.

Resources in support of my assertion that the core of the problem started in with the Treaty of Versailles in settlement of World War I, and Woodrow Wilson's reneging on his promise to the Arab states of the Ottoman Empire, are supported by Prof. Salim Yacub, are supported by Etan Bloom and his dissertation on the work of Arthur Ruppin, and are supported by the pictoral histories presented by the blog Lawrence of Cyberia.

Gilad Atzmon Has Rightly Said That Quote Jews Do Not Do History." Israelis do not truthfully acknowledge the history of how Arabs were displaced and disregarded from the very beginning of Jewish colonization of Palestine, in the context of the first world war; between the first and second world wars, and ever since. There is no honesty in Jewish reflection on their own actions or on their impact on people of the East working D on the American people.

on June 23, 2011, Marcy captor, Democratic representative from Toledo, Ohio, was a guest on C-SPAN Washington Journal. Peter Slen was the moderator. A caller from New York City commented that the problems in the middle east would not be resolved until the Israel Palestine conflict was resolved; that was the problem precipitating all of the problems in the area. Marcy Kaptor agreed; she went on to say that the Israel Palestine conflict is the sword hanging over the entire region.

Without a doubt CAMERA and Myron Kaplan will have something to say about Marcy Kaptor's comment. But it was true. The sooner the Jewish people in the United States stop attempting to carve out special exception for their behavior, for their rights, for their entitlements, the better off they will be in the United States, the more friendly the American people will be toward Jewish people, and the more readily will the problems in the middle east be resolved. But 2000 years of Jewish history do not give reason to be optimistic that that change in thinking and ideology on the part of the Jewish people will come about any time soon.

C Span Feb 25 2011, "Our Goal is to Educate . . ."

Steve Scully, 7:45 am: "Our goal is to educate - - -"

see also, The Forgotten Memoirs of John Knox, secretary to McReynolds

So said Scully in response to a caller who said he hopes Washington Journal disappears because it gives a voice to ignorant people like "racist Tea Partiers."

8:48 am: caller -- complaining about Trumka, says Scully is "most liberal of all." Scully says "we have all sides on this program 7 days a week . . ." Caller's complaint is that Scully does not fairly represent Republicans.

Caller: 8:57 am: Last time prices went very high what was driving it was speculation. Same thing is happening now, it's not scarcity, it's an opportunity. We can't even see who is doing the speculating.

Guest (John Felmy, American Petroleum Institute): Yes you can see, commodities trading is heavily regulated.

9:06 Wyoming caller in praise of oil companies--all they do for the community. Felmy echoes, says must

____

I agree with the caller at 8:48, that Scully is "about the worst," but not because he's "liberal" or against Republicans; my opinion echoes that of Chris Hedges, that those terms and distinctions are meaningless.

Scully is "about the worst" because he does not even acknowledge to himself how sedulously he is defending the status quo, and protecting Israel and zionism at all costs.
Brian Lamb similarly defends Jews -- yes, Jews.
In an interview of the author of the biography of Sandy Weil, Lamb expressed disgust that WEIL was engaging in anti-anti semitic talk and behavior.

And in an interview of M Urofsky, biographer of Louis Brandeis, Lamb and Urofsky discussed Brandeis's resignation from the Supreme Court in 1939, and the letter of farewell that all of the justices save one, McReynolds signed. Lamb expressed disgust that McReynolds would refuse to sign the letter, attributing it to antisemitism but without saying the word -- Lamb did not SAY the judge was antisemitic or hated Jews, he merely implied it by his body language and tenor and context of the conversation. Urofsky, however, supplied the missing piece -- he said, "McReynolds would say, 'that Jew . . .'" referring to Brandeis.

Does the possibility exist that McReynolds had a profound ideological or moral concern that Brandeis had acted or was acting in ways detrimental to American interests, and THAT was the source of his refusal to sign the letter? ** see "Forgotten Memoir John Knox"

McReynolds, James Clark

McReynolds, James Clark (mukren'uldz) [key], 1862–1946, U.S. Attorney General (1913–14) and Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court (1914–41), b. Elkton, Ky. He received his law degree from the Univ. of Virginia in 1884. He was a professor of law at Vanderbilt when he was appointed Assistant Attorney General by Theodore Roosevelt. He served from 1903 to 1907, and later, while practicing law, he was a special assistant to the Attorney General in several antitrust cases. He continued his active antitrust work as Attorney General. Appointed by President Wilson to the Supreme Court, he opposed most expansions of the power of the federal government, firmly supporting laissez-faire economic policies. He particularly opposed the New Deal legislation, which he believed violated the Constitution. As a result, he was a key target in President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's unsuccessful attempt to reconstitute the Supreme Court. Considered a difficult and rather unfriendly man, McReynolds was an anti-Semite who thoroughly disliked his fellow justices Louis Brandeis and Benjamin Cardozo.

James C. McReynolds (1913–1914): Attorney General

The son of a surgeon, James Clark McReynolds was born on February 3, 1862, in Elkton, Kentucky. He graduated from Vanderbilt University in 1882 and followed in the footsteps of the President he would serve, Woodrow Wilson, by studying law at the University of Virginia, earning his degree in 1884. McReynolds entered the political arena when he served briefly as private secretary to U.S. Senator Howell E. Jackson. He returned to his law practice in Nashville, Tennessee, before losing in a bid for Congress as a "gold" Democrat in 1896.

McReynolds taught law at Vanderbilt University from 1900 to 1903, at which time he was appointed assistant U.S. attorney general by President Theodore Roosevelt. As special counsel for the government from 1907 to 1912, McReynolds prosecuted violators of the Sherman Antitrust Act. President Woodrow Wilson named him attorney general on March 5, 1913.

When Associate Justice Horace Lurton resigned from the Supreme Court in August 1914, Wilson tapped McReynolds to take his place. McReynolds served on the high court for twenty-six years, until February 1, 1941, voting down most New Deal measures during the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt. He died on August 24, 1946, in Washington, D.C.
