  • 2015-07-12 Cold War 2.0 - the propaganda wars - MH17
    ===========================
    After publishing false, fake intelligence data, claiming Russian accountability for the downing of MH17, the international "investigation Committee" signed a secret confidentiality agreement. The aim is probably to cover up pro-US, Ukrainian accountability for the case.
    A memorial service in honor of the MH17 flight victims has been held in Kuala Lumpur, marking almost a year since the tragedy. The Malaysian PM asked for “the...

    ===================================
    Author: Tony Cartalucci Region: Ukraine in the world
    The absence of America's so-called "intelligence" regarding the downing of Malaysia Airlines MH17 over Ukraine in a 34 page Dutch Safety Board preliminary report raises serious questions about the credibility and legitimacy of both America's political agenda, and all agencies, organizations, and political parties currently behind it. The report titled, "Preliminary Report: Crash involving Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 flight MH17" (.pdf), cites a wide variety of evidence in its attempt to determine the cause of flight MH17's crash and to prevent similar accidents or incidents from occurring again in the future. Among this evidence includes the cockpit voice recorder (CVR), the flight data recorder (FDR), analysis of recorded air traffic control (ATC) surveillance data and radio communication, analysis of the -Сontinue reading...

  • Joseph Zernik 2015-04-09 Cold War 2.0 - propaganda wars - Reuters falsified eye witnesses reports on MH17 downing
    ======================================
    [via Anonymous Berlin]
    The downing of MH17 is a key issue in the propaganda wars and the efforts to escalate the war against Russia.
    The evidence shows that MH17 was most likely downed by US-backed, Kiev forces.
    Moreover, the the fourt nations, who are members of the international, Hague-based, investigation committee, which includes Ukraine (the main suspect), secretly signed a veto/non-disclosure agreement, regarding results of the investigation.
    ____
    Russia pushed into the shoes: the US News Agency of Reuters forged statements from eyewitnesses on the launch of MH17! Reuters, one of the largest international news agencies, has massively distorted testimony to MH17. Witness the crash of MH17 from the Lugansk region Ukrainian told RT that his interview to the crash of the Malaysian airline MH17 exactly in the opposite has turned Reuters. So, his statement that he a rocket from the area of the Ukrainian army had see Ascend was portrayed by Reuters that the missile from the "rebel territory" came. Reuters did not respond to requests from RT so far.[1]
    In the context of a report on the causes of the crash of MH17 in the Eastern Ukraine, the British news agency of Reuters conducted an interview with the foresightedness Piotr Fedotov from the village Tscherwoni of Schoiten in the region Luganks. This should have observed according to Reuters, as a ground-to air missile allegedly being fired from positions of pro Russian self-defense forces on the Malaysian airliner.
    News Agency wrote in its report:
    [...] In an interview with Reuters said Fedotov, who described the 'shaking' the rocket first towards the camera, that fired the missile from the territory of the Ukrainian army. Later, behind the camera, he acknowledged, the rocket was launched from a nearby rebel territory. On the question of why he originally claimed the opposite, saying that he had fear of the rebels. [...]
    Meanwhile, RT with Fedotov said. This however explained in an interview that Reuters correspondent Anton Zwerew in any way accurately worked in his report on the joint meeting.
    The witness told RT literally:
    [...] When we talked on camera about the Boeing, I explained, everything as it was. The things that I supposedly said when the camera was turned off, were invented by the journalists. It is all a lie. When the camera was, we talked at any time about the Boeing. [...]
    He added that the Reuters journalist contacted him but after the interview, but never put forward a draft of the article to check him. Instead, Fedotov was asked whether he did get in trouble after the interview:
    [...] The journalist called me and asked if I was in trouble. I was really surprised. Why should I be get in trouble, where I said only the truth? Then, but my friends told me that I told different things according to the article, as the camera was and when she was on. There I understood why he asked me if I was in trouble. [...]
    » So it's pure imagination by the journalist or he did it to their advantage,"he added.
    So far, the London-based news agency was not answered a request from RT to Reuters on the controversial interview with Fedotov.
    The Malaysian passenger plane MH17, a Boeing 777, crashed last year apparently on July 17 after a hit with a still unidentified high-energy projectile. All 298 passengers of the plane were killed. The culprit in the crash was immediately clear for the political leadership in Kiev and a large of Western States. You accused directly the East-Ukrainian self defense units as well Russia until today, without to present hard evidence.
    Dear bloggers and Internet users. Please share this post restated in the Internet, in forums and blogs, and of course on VKontakte, Facebook and Twitter. Right now, it is important that we can not fool us the German lies press and establish a reasonable counter public.

  • Joseph Zernik Flight MH17: Dutch government answers to Parliament
    Geplaatst op 07/11/2014
    Letter of 27 October 2014 from the Minister of Security and Justice, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Defence to the House of Representatives answering questions relating to the MH17 air disaster
    Attached to this letter are the government’s answers to the questions put to it by the Permanent Committee on Foreign Affairs at its meeting of 15 October on the disaster involving Malaysia Airlines flight MH17. These answers will serve as input for the government’s upcoming follow-up meeting with the Committee.
    ....
    Question 5:
    Non-disclosure. Is it possible to rule out one of the countries disclosing details of the investigation into the circumstances into the crash or the criminal investigation?
    Answer 5:
    The Dutch Safety Board is leading the international investigation into the circumstances of the crash of flight MH17 and will decide what is ultimately made public. The investigation is being conducted in accordance with the Convention on International Civil Aviation. Therefore, only the Dutch Safety Board’s final report is decisive. None of the countries can veto the final conclusions, which are for the Dutch Safety Board to determine.
    In the criminal investigation, the countries involved in the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) have entered into a partnership with the aim of uncovering the truth. They have agreed to work together and to exercise restraint with regard to the disclosure of information about the investigation. The government has no reason whatsoever to believe that the authorities in any of the countries affected is failing to honour these commitments. There is a great willingness to work together.
    ...
    Question 8:
    Do the investigators possess satellite data for the period from 10 minutes before to 10 minutes after the crash?
    Answer 8:
    It is desirable that the Public Prosecution Service obtain additional material from the USA for the purpose of the criminal investigation. This is a lengthy process because passing on intelligence information to the criminal justice authorities involves legal complications arising from US legislation. The Public Prosecution Service has every confidence that it will obtain the relevant material in a timely manner.
    The government will not at present be making any further disclosures of what specific and detailed information it possesses. In accordance with usual practice, all sources that could help establish the facts in a criminal investigation are being utilised. The Public Prosecution Service must be allowed to assess and determine in confidence what information is usable as evidence. Moreover, the Netherlands is leading the international investigation into the circumstances of the crash. This makes the need to act with due care all the more pressing. Publishing details of intelligence sources now would only further fuel speculation and would be inappropriate in light of the Netherlands’ leading role in the criminal investigation. The same concerns apply to the publication of information from the Dutch Safety Board’s investigation into the circumstances of the crash. It is up to the Dutch Safety Board and the Public Prosecution Service to draw conclusions in due course. This is a process which demands time and care (see also the answer to question 2).
    However, the Public Prosecution Service will, in the period ahead, depart from its usual practice in ongoing investigations by giving information at various stages in the process about how it is progressing, in so far as this is not detrimental to the investigation. This approach is being adopted because of the great importance of this international investigation and the next of kin’s need for information.

2015-07-10 US policy moving the world closer to WW III
===================================
Coleen Rowley writes:
Wake up Americans! Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg encourages us to read and share the following articles (and then figure out what we may do to avert this nightmare):
Max Fisher, Vox, "How World War III became possible: A nuclear conflict with Russia is likelier than you think": http://www.vox.com/2015/6/29/8845913/russia-war
Graham Allison and Dimitri Simes, "Russia and America: Stumbling Toward War"
http://nationalinterest.org/…/russia-america-stumbling-war-…
Ellsberg further noted: "Both articles have their limitations--in particular, neither addresses at all the way that NATO and the EU have fueled the current conflict, with the expansion of NATO (to the Baltics!) and in particular the coup in Kiev, and Fisher quotes only the worst possible interpretations of Putin's motives--but they're both compelling enough to be very alarming. What seems to be looming is the most dangerous possibility of direct Russian and US armed conflict since the Cuban Missile Crisis half a century ago. Really, the only one since then, and like that, with the real possibility that it would provoke the use of tactical nuclear weapons--this time, first-use threatened on both sides!--and all-out nuclear war, causing nuclear winter/famine. It can't get more serious than that. And both sides are proclaiming their readiness to engage, seeming to ignore that prospect!"
So while it may not seem possible to those of us anguished by US-NATO's costly wars on Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and other countries in its "global war on terror," the past 14 years could actually turn out to be the relative lull before the storm. There are strong indications that we're quickly reaching an even more dangerous moment, this one to most life on earth, with this insane brinkmanship risking a nuclear WWIII. One sign is the General nominated to Chair the Joint Chiefs just voiced the Pentagon's apparent new talking points: http://www.reuters.com/…/us-usa-russia-dunford-idUSKCN0PJ1Y… (H/T Alice Slater)
Ironically as a different colleague noted, the US is using the WWII Axis, by pushing Germany to take on Russia and pushing the rearming of Japan to confront China. Although the Vox article notes, with respect to Russia, that nations in decline are dangerous, it fails to note that this also applies to the U.S. side so we have a doubly dangerous situation, maybe as bad as the Cuban missile crisis.
A growing chorus of analysts and policymakers are sounding the alarm. Will the world hear them in time?

RE: Evidence of racketeering in Bet Tzedek -  "The Los Angeles House of Justice" - an affiliate of the Greater Los Angeles Jewish Federation

Dear Mr Carter,

Thank you for your email note, copied below, and for your interest in this important matter.
I summarized some of the information for the general readership in the articles, linked below.  The articles, in turn, include links to key records. Upon request I could provide an entire archive...
Such records were also part of the Human Rights Alert (NGO) [HRA] submission for the first ever Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Human Rights in the United States by the UN Human Rights Council [HRC].
The submission focused on corruption of the LA County justice system and refusal of California as well as US federal agencies to take action.  The HRA submission was incorporated by reference into the UN HRC Professional Staff Report (2010) with the note: "Corruption of the courts and the legal profession and discrimination by law enforcement in California".
Included in the submission were, for example, records of Congressional Inquiries by Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congresswoman Diane Watson on my behalf on US Attorney General and FBI Director: Why FBI and US DOJ would not respond on my requests for investigation of racketeering by California judges in Los Angeles County...
The story of Mr Samuels' conduct at Bet Tzedek is of course part of the bigger story of the criminality, underlying the financial crisis, and the "Too big to fail, too big to jail" policy of the US DOJ... 
Part of what makes my research and reports unique:
  • Abundant indisputable documentary evidence of  criminality in Countrywide Financial Corporation (particularly in its Legal Department, headed by Mr Sandor Samuels) already in 2004, and indisputable evidence of the infusion of such criminality into Bank of America Legal Department, following the collapse of Countrywide in 2008, and Mr Samuels' appointment as Associate General Counsel of BofA;
  • Abundant indisputable documentary evidence of racketeering by judges of the LA Superior Court in real estate matters already in 1998, and
  •  Documentary evidence of the tight links between racketeering by LA Superior Court judges in civil matters, such as real estate, and racketeering by LA Superior Court judges in criminal matters, such as in the Rampart Scandal reports, through key figures, e.g., then California Judge Jacqueline Connor.
Not in vain FBI described Los Angeles County already in the early 2000s as "the epicenter of the epidemic of real estate and mortgage fraud."

Following the October 2014 appointment of Attorney Jessie Kornberg President and CEO of Bet Tzedek, I filed with her a request for compensation, documented in [1], below.  No response whatsoever has been received to this date.  And the fact that ADL has for years refused to respond on requests for comment on the indisputable evidence of racketeering in Bet Tzedek - an affiliate of the Greater Los Angels Jewish Federation - and one of the most visible Jewish organizations in LA, speaks volumes for itself...

Finally, as a former member of the Los Angeles Jewish community, and at times a volunteer for the Greater Los Angeles Jewish Federation, I find the entire matter despicable, to say the least...

Truly,

Joseph Zernik, PhD
Human Rights Alert (NGO)

P.S.
I would still appreciate a response from Attorney Kornberg on my December 2014 request for compensation by Bet Tzedek.

Dear Rabbi Owens:
In view of the commercial in which you are featured, copied below, and the press release, also copied below, I urge you to dissociate yourself from Bet Tzedek and its President Sandor Samuels.
Bet Tzedek is nothing less than a Jewish racket, headed by Sandor Samuels, one of the architects of the epidemic of mortgage and foreclosure fraud, and corruption of the state and US courts from coast to coast.
The fact that Sandor Samuels likes to find cover under the mantle of Jewish charity and in particular holocaust survivors, is a cynical ploy. But the fact that the Los Angeles Jewish and legal community continue to provide his such cover is inexcusable.
In case you are interested, I would be happy to provide you full documentary evidence of racketeering by Sandor Samuels, even from his office in Bet Tzedek, and legal opinions of his conduct in the courts from coast to coast.
Truly,

The charade goes on - SANDOR SAMUELS, one of the key figures in criminality that underlies the financial crisis, appears as the “President and CEO” of BET TZEDEK (“The House of Justice”), an affiliate of the LOS ANGELES JEWISH FEDERATION. The evidence shows him engaging in racketeering even in his capacity of President of BET TZEDEK. Both BET TZEDEK and the LOS ANGELES JEWISH FEDERATION refuse to address the matter.  ADL – of "justice and fair treatment for all" – remains mum, when it comes to one of the best documented Jewish rackets.  There is no way of telling how many lives have been ruined for the greed of SANDOR SAMUELS, DAVID PASTERNAK and TERRY FRIEDMAN.

OccupyTLV, March 05  – The charade goes on - SANDOR SAMUELS, one of the key figures in the criminality that underlies the financial crisis, appears as the “President and CEO” of BET TZEDEK (“The House of Justice”), an affiliate of the LOS ANGELES JEWISH FEDERATION.
In Bet Tzedek's most recent gala production, "Attorney to the stars casts lawyers as defenders of justice".  [1] Nothing could be further from the truth, when it comes to Bet Tzedek!
SAMUELS and BET TZEDEK are bound to be remembered as the Scarlet Letter of the Los Angeles Jewish Community.

As Chief Legal Officer of COUNTRYWIDE FINANCIAL CORPORATION and later Associate General Counsel of BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATION, SANDOR SAMUELS was:
  • Starting at least in the early 2000s - key figure in establishing corrupt organization practices in Countrywide, with an unprecedented fraud on the US tax payer, on shareholders, and on homeowners nationwide;
  • Starting in the early 2000s – key figure in corruption of the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles and the US District Court, Central District of California;
  • Starting March 2007 – central figure in conduct amounting to racketeering in the Los Angeles Superior Court, on the grounds of BET TZEDEK, as President of BET TZEDEK; [i]
  • In January 2008 – directly responsible for the collapse of COUNTRYWIDE, following the publication of news of fraud through the filing of “Recreated Letters” as evidence in the US Bankruptcy Court in PA by COUNTRYWIDE’s attorneys. [ii]
  • In March 2008 – directly responsible for the fraud in the US District Court, TX by attorneys for COUNTRYWIDE, and theMemorandum Opinionby the Hon Judge Jeff Bohm, which reads as a catalog of fraud methods by COUNTRYWIDE in courts throughout the United States. [iii]
  • Starting July 2008 – directly responsible for establishing the same conduct in BANK OF AMERICA. [iv]
  • 2010 – key figure in Human Rights Alert’s report, which was incorporated into the United Nations Human Rights Council Staff Report, with a note referring to “corruption of the courts and the legal profession and discrimination by law enforcement in California”. [v]
Complaints, alleging racketeering by SANDOR SAMUELS, DAVID PASTERNAK and their accomplices have been repeatedly filed in courts. [x]
The LOS ANGELES JEWISH FEDERATION and BET TZEDEK have been repeatedly requested, since 2007, to initiate corrective actions. [vi] Both have consistently refused to respond.

In the meanwhile, SANDOR SAMUELS continues to serve on the boards of other Los Angeles Jewish institutions as well:
  • ADAT ARI-EL SYNAGOGUE
  • AMERICAN JEWISH UNIVERSITY, LOS ANGELES
  • SHALHEVET SCHOOL
  • ZIEGLER SCHOOL OF RABBINIC STUDIES
The synergistic corruption of the US justice system and US financial institutions is at the heart of the current crisis. [vii]  And SANDOR SAMUELS, one of the key architects of the corruption, is now re-invented by the LOS ANGELES JEWISH COMMUNITY, as Mr Jewish Justice.
Note:
Releases, pertaining to corruption in BET TZEDEK and the LOS ANGELES JEWISH FEDERATION were copied to the ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE (ADL), to BET TZEDEK, and the LOS ANGELES JEWISH FEDERATION with requests for comments.  No comments have been returned so far. [viii]

======================
A Debtors Court judge issued an arrest warrant against an attorney, for filing too many motions in defence of his client...
The Israeli Debtors Courts are the epitome of corruption of the court system. Banks and large corporations conduct large scale courts in collusion with attorneys and judges. They defraud the debtors even on simple issues such as calculations of the interest rates - charging far more than permitted by law, and at time higher than loan sharks...

"אין המדובר בפנייה לערעור על ההחלטה, אלא תיקון פגם מהותי, שכן עורך הדין אינו צד לתיק, ואינו יכול לערער על ההחלטה. מצב זה מהווה פגיעה חמורה בשמו הטוב של עורך הדין [פלוני] בפרט, ובשאר עורכי הדין בכלל. לא ניתן להשלים עם מצב בו משפילים את עורך הדין לעיני כל ופוגעים בעבודתו ובפרנסתו של עורך הדין, וזאת מכל סיבה שהיא", נאמר במכתב. הרשות מסרה בתגובה: "התלונה הועברה לבירור בפני האחראי לבירור תלונות על רשמים, ולפיכך אנו מנועים מלהתייחס לעניין בשלב זה
