Don't leave the site. You may still want to periodically write in the forums. I get the scammers all the time but just report them and delete them. Sometimes, I save the scammers email and then email it directly to another scammer and watch to see if they open the scam mail I just sent them. Oh the joys of one scammer receiving another scammers email. I can just hear them saying "WTF is this?"

I have to LMAO when I think of how they must react to reading the emails sent to each other by me or even when one scammer inadvertently sends another unknown scammer a scam letter.

This is from the Kristalnacht Forum and I feel that it is very appropriate to remind every one again since several here enjoy beating up Conrad, Bebe, Lonelycowboy and myself and others for supporting Israel's right to exist. For when the radicals take over your country and you are personally affected, you will then understand what Israel has been up against. Consider yourself lucky if your country has been there to protect your lives from this form of new world order. Close your eyes to these radical groups and they will be there at your doorstep sooner than you think. Spain learned a hard lesson.

"No one should forget lest the events of that era come back to haunt the world again. Should Israel ever fall, the new generation of fundamentalist terrorism that has been spreading throughout different countries of the world will take a very firm foothold everywhere and the new radical fundamentalist order will be the norm everywhere and directly affect many different nationalities and religions of people."(Kristalnacht Forum)

Update with an excerpt from article CNN Nov 12 09

MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- The trial started for eleven suspected Islamic militants Thursday morning in Madrid for allegedly plotting suicide attacks on Barcelona's metro last year -- assaults that were to be followed by attacks elsewhere in Europe.

The suspects "were preparing and organizing a series of terrorist attacks in Europe that would start in Barcelona," prosecutor Vicente Gonzalez Mota wrote in a document outlining the charges.

Four of the defendants arrived in Barcelona shortly before the planned attacks, at least two of them from Pakistan, the prosecutor said, and the group allegedly was under the influence of Baitullah Mehsud, a Pakistani Taliban leader of the radical Tehrik-e-Tabligh movement.

Mehsud was to make demands after the Barcelona attack, and if the West refused, further attacks in Europe would have followed, the prosecutor wrote.

The Tehrik-e-Tabligh movement of Pakistan later claimed responsibility for the Barcelona plot on its Web site and in a video, while criticizing the presence of Spanish troops in Afghanistan, the prosecutor wrote.

The prosecutor wrote, just before the trial, that "The discovery of the organization and the preparation of the attack was known, thanks to the statement of the protected witness, identified as F1."

The prosecutor said the informant joined the Tehrik-e-Tabligh movement from France, later received military training in Pakistan and was finally sent to Barcelona, where he met the other suspects, learned of their plans and quickly informed authorities.

The alleged leaders of the cell were Mahroof Ahmed Mirza, who was to choose the place and time for the Barcelona attacks, and Mohammad Ayud Elahi Bibi. The prosecutor is seeking 18-year prison terms for them as leaders of a terrorist group and for possession of explosives.

More than 300 suspected Islamic extremists have been arrested in Spain since the Madrid commuter train bombings that killed 191 people and wounded more than 1,800 on March 11, 2004, the interior minister has said.

On Land and Sea
Elbit Systems and Israel Aerospace Industries have branched out from the air to jointly develop the Guardium Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV). The Guardium UGV, which has been supplied to the IDF, is an advanced, third-generation UGV based on the Tomcar platform, which is an off-road, highly maneuverable vehicle for rough terrain and challenging topography. The vehicle features autonomous operation, allowing for precise steering across pre-defined routes programmed in its mission profile.

Guardium is capable of extended and continuous operation, and contains systems allowing for all-weather continuous transmission of visual, audio and target data back to the operator, without risk to human lives. It is also able to autonomously detect and avoid various types of obstacles, enabling real-time course corrections without the intervention of an operator.

As the first operationally deployed autonomous UGV system, Guardium is already a subject of great interest worldwide. It is also scheduled to take part in security missions along Israel's borders.

The Israeli Navy has also begun deploying a highly maneuverable unmanned craft called the Protector along the Mediterranean coast. The Protector is being used particularly off the Hamas-held Gaza Strip in the south, and outside Lebanon in the north where Hizbullah terrorists operate. Built by Rafael Advanced Systems, the Protector is one of the newest systems acquired by the Navy and can carry a wide range of payloads, including cameras, sensors and weapons. The ships are operated remotely from land stations and can carry out a wide range of missions while evading detection. "There are areas that the navy preferred to first enter in an unmanned capacity before a manned capacity," a navy official said.

Aeronautics Defense Systems manufactures SeaStar, an unmanned maritime operations vehicle featuring capabilities for the entire range of Naval and Coast Guard missions. The SeaStar is highly autonomous and can perform a wide variety of missions, and can even be operated in hazardous sea conditions.

Unmanned Vehicles to Protect Against Nuclear Threat
And the next big thing? Israel is reportedly developing a high-flying, long-endurance unmanned infrared sensor to assist in those critical minutes when it may be forced to spot incoming nuclear warheads amidst dozens of decoys sent to confound national missile defenses. A prototype of the long-range, high-resolution target-discrimination sensor has already been tested aboard a business jet under a classified Israeli-German program called “Bluebird.”

Don't believe that Israel is so dependent on the U.S. for their weapons. Israel will wind up supplying the world with their advanced weapons, not the other way around.

Israel Leads in Making and Flying Unmanned Vehicles

by Yehezkel Laing
Nov 11 09(IsraelNN.com)

Israel has become a leader on the cutting edge of the unmanned vehicles industry. While it started with aerial vehicles, the country has expanded into developing advanced crafts for the skies, sea and the ground.

“He Who Saves One Life…”
Perhaps due to their concern for human life, it is mainly Western countries that have embraced the new unmanned vehicle technology - especially the U.S., Israel, the United Kingdom and France. The chief non-Western nation to embrace the technology is India, which receives most of its drones from Israel.

“We’re not going to send our soldiers out to be ambushed,” said one IDF General Staff officer. “It’s that simple. And the technology being developed and tested today allows us to both protect our troops and enhance our precision strike options, all at the same time. ‘No signature’ means no troops. If you’re in [Palestinian Authority-controlled] Tulkarm, you may see balloons or unmanned aerial vehicles, but you won’t see targets until we choose the time and place to attack.”

Multiple Advantages
Steve Rodan from Middle East Newsline, a Canada-based news agency reporting on military and security developments, writes that there are three main advantages to unmanned vehicles: “Firstly they help protect human life by taking humans out of the battlefield. Secondly, they never get tired. A regular pilot is often exhausted after a mission. The UAVs don’t have that problem. They never get weary and can be used repeatedly. Thirdly, they can be used for boring patrol duty where often nothing happens for 40-50 days and military personnel often lower their guards.”

And it’s not just airplanes. Israeli companies are also busy developing unmanned helicopters. Israel-based Steadicopter has produced an unmanned helicopter using patented technology that enables the chopper to stay stable while airborne. The developers say that the unmanned helicopter can be used wherever manned helicopters are currently used, for a smaller price and with no danger to human life. It can also take the place of unmanned fixed-wing aircraft.

Meanwhile, the unmanned aerial vehicle known as the Mule is being built by another Israeli company, Urban Aeronautics. It has the same attributes as a helicopter, but is more stable, cheaper, smaller and less noisy. The IDF Medical Corps is interested in the Mule in order to evacuate injured troops. Its narrow width is its most valuable benefit, given that the Mule is able to land in areas that would normally be unreachable to other vehicles. As of now, the Mule can hold two injured persons in a lying down position. In the future, there will be place for a chaperone as well.

UPDATE:
Housing Minister: Netanyahu Hasn't Even Authorized One Building

(IsraelNN.com) Nov 11 09

'No tenders have been issued for building inside or outside the settlement blocs, nor in east Jerusalem,' Attias said
Despite all the talk about continued building in settlement blocs, Housing Minister Ariel Attias said Tuesday night that since becoming Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu has not authorized construction of one new home in Judea, Samaria, or neighborhoods of Jerusalem over the green line. "No tenders have been issued for building inside or outside the settlement blocs, nor in eastern Jerusalem," Attias said in a television interview.

Attias' comments contradict statements by Netanyahu, who claims that hundreds of homes in the settlement blocs are under construction. According to Netanyahu, Israel has not implemented a building freeze in the settlement blocs, and intends to complete construction of some 3,000 housing units that have already been approved.

In an interview last week with the Al-Hura, an Arabic-language news station operated by the U.S. government, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that Netanyahu had, in a recent meeting, agreed to halt all construction over the green line. He also agreed not to issue new permits for construction.

Ooby,

You and your son had a guardian angel watching over your shoulders. I also know the feeling when someone is watching. It is some type of weird vibe we seem to instinctively feel or know when we may be walking into danger. It's a very eerie feeling.

Glad you are in tune with your intuition and insisted that you and your son get out of there quickly. You were probably soon to be in the shooters crosshairs and in full range very soon.

RevWhiteWolf,

It is so easy for the buffoons and bullies to pick on someone who is religious, ethnic or racially different from them when the buffoons and bullies are in the majority. However, when you get them into the corner one on one, you better believe they run scared with their tail between their legs.

My 6'6" son got bullied in high school by these bullies of varying sizes(all shorter than him) when they would group up on him together and mock his Jewishness. He would just walk away mad as they would laugh at him. Well,he didn't forget and cornered each one individually when they were alone and literally put his chest and then his eyes right into their faces and pushed them up against walls where no one could see what he was doing. He literally scared the shit out of each and every one of them as they thought their lives were going to be snuffed out at any given moment if they even looked him in they eye. Besides that, my son's black friends watched his back and made sure no ethnic slurs were ever said to my son again by the dud bullies. There would have been a stabbing or fist fight in defense of my son.

Your father had the courage to stand up and fight for liberty and freedom not only for our citizens but citizens of the Pacific countries. I salute him in honor and wish to give him a Thank You. Please do let him know. You are also to be thanked for what you did for that Jewish man. God does see what people do and think.

Hi LaVerdad. How are you? I had posted much on your behalf on the forum where you had lost friends in an attack. The insensitivity to you by several of the CS members at the time of your immense grief and pain was absolutely appalling to say the least.

Not even stupidity would be the appropriate description of the appalling postings of those CS members.

The memory of friends that we hold so very dear in our lives will forever be engraved on our hearts and souls. May you garner strength and resolve to go on in life and take moments to reflect on special past memories as you experience new moments throughout your life.

And there are some Goons burning to repeat Kristallnacht,and initiate another Final Solution!When I listen to some of those 20-30 yo Neo-Nazis here in Europe,who think it is chick to push for a repeat,my Blood starts to boil!


Conrad, you have my ultimate respect. You have lived through WW2 era and know first hand of the politics and know how much has changed and yet nothing has changed. When you post, your facts are not bulllshit.

Also, these 20-30 something neo-nazis would not even have the courage of one Israeli soldier who goes out and risks their lives for the security and preservation of every Israeli citizen...be it a Jew, Muslim, Jehovah's Witness, Catholic, Druze, Bhai or Christian of any faith living within it's borders. Doubt these goons you speak of would put their life on the line to protect any fellow citizen of their own country but would rather conspire to maim or murder their fellow citizens and deface ethnic property becasue of a dead guy's fanatical ideology that lives on to haunt mankind for many generations. Twisted chicness I guess.

They may think it's chic to push for a repeat of nazi history but in the end, it is they who will be the new Final Solution. Final Solution meaning that it is they who will be incarcerated and humbled and living out their lives in real misery. Perhaps that is what they are really hoping to acheive.

When the Poles became aware of the Jewish cargo on their way to Poland, they closed the border. “No more Jews” was the order. With Polish machine guns facing them, and German bayonets pointed at them from behind, the Jews were stranded in no-man’s land. Jewish welfare organisations were allowed to hastily erect some shelter. The circumstances were grim and food was short, while the Poles and Germans argued for two or three days. Eventually the Poles were forced to accept this by-now dejected, hungry and tired mass of humanity.

The largest number of Jews - including my father - were interned in Zbaszyn, a small Polish border town, for several months, before being relocated to the Warsaw Ghetto. My own father was among them, but I was fortunate to have been away on the day of the arrests, and so escaped almost certain death.

At least one Jew refused to take it lying down. A 17-year-old old German-born Polish Jew, Hershel Grynspan, who lived illegally in Paris, received a postcard from his family telling him of their deportation and desperate plight. He became so enraged that he called at the German Embassy in Paris, asked for the Ambassador, and when taken to Ernst Vom Rath, a third secretary, he drew a pistol and shot him. Vom Rath died of his wounds on November 7.

This was the trigger for the “spontaneous” pogroms of 2-3 days later that became known as Kristallnacht. It is documented that plans for such an outrage had been planned in great detail and that Himmler had only been waiting for a suitable moment to implement them.

When Hershel Grynspan was arrested by French police, he protested: “Being a Jew is not a crime. I am not a dog, and I have a right to exist on this earth. Wherever I have been I have been hounded like an animal.” There are conflicting reports about his fate, but it can be safely assumed that he did not survive the war.

Let us never forget the brave Hershel Grynspan of blessed memory.

The photograph, from the Yad Vashem archives, shows deported Polish Jews waiting for soup in Zbaszyn. The man with the light colored hat, standing behind the one with the light-colourd cap, right by the kettle. is my father. Had I been at home at the time, I also would have been standing there then - but not for very long.

In Blessed Memory of All The Jews Murdered November 9, 1938:

Kristallnacht: The Terror of a Knock on the Door

by Walter Bingham, Israel National Radio showhost

(IsraelNN.com) Throughout the Jewish world, commemorations are being held during this period of Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, which took place exactly 71 years ago. The murderous violence and destruction of that night, in which 100 Jews were killed, over 250 synagogues were destroyed, and tens of thousands of Jewish businesses vandalized, marked the beginning of the Holocaust.

It also marked the deportation of close to 30,000 Jewish men from Germany and Austria to concentration camps.

The trigger for these atrocities can be found in the events of a few weeks earlier. During the course of 1938, the Polish authorities grew concerned about the German annexation of Austria in March of that year, as well as the increased persecution of German and Austrian Jews. It was not the Jews' welfare that concerned the Poles, but rather the fear that the many Polish nationals among them would seek to return to - or be deported to - Poland. For this reason, in mid-October of 1938, the Polish government issued a de-nationalization law which annulled the citizenship of Poles living abroad for more than five years. Exceptions were granted for those who could receive, by the end of that month, a special Polish Consulate stamp in their passports - unless they were Jews.

When the Nazi regime learned that Polish officials would not stamp the passports of Jews, who would thereupon become stateless, Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler ordered that all Polish Jews be immediately and forcefully repatriated to Poland.

My family was among them. My mother was one of thousands who heard the dreaded knock on the door on October 28, 1938. She was asked where I was, and she answered vaguely that I was not at home. In fact, I was at school in Mannheim, some 60 kilometers away. But my father was home. They took him away, and I never saw him again. He and thousands of others throughout Germany and Austria were told to hurriedly pack just one suitcase each, including just 10 marks per adult. They were transported to the Polish border in sealed trains.

Meanwhile, somehow I contacted my mother, and she told me, "They're looking for you; don't come back. They've just taken your father."(cont pg 2)

Ray,

You are digging yourself deeper into a hole that you can't get out of. You're trying to rectify one statement and then coming up with other ridiculous statements. You double sided your statements here again with saying that "Jewish doesn't claim to be a race" and then on the same paragraph state that it's "a religious denomination or sect that claims to be a race."

C'mon now already...get your story straight and stop posting paragraphs that go around in circular riddles already. You post fabricated lines from dubious websites or from your own words and try to make yourself look important.

Please...please...spare us all the mongrel facts already

Do you think that horn thing stretches his male appendage like the rings they put around some women's neck and ears to elogate them a bit in some African tribes?

I feel sorry for this guy when he ever has to remove that horn. His appendage would droop to below his knees and then he will have to figure a way to hold it up or it will drag and catch on underbrush as he walks......OMG Ouchie!!!
