Deputy CEO, Tel Aviv Municipality
By email and by fax

RE: Untreated latrine and sewage release by “State Persons” in OccupyTLV camp.

Dear Mr Zkuf:
For about a year I am signed on the permit for the OccupyTLV camp. In my first meeting in this regard with Mr Yacov Drachman, Neighborhood Manager, he clarified to me of his own initiative that building latrines and showers by the camp people, not by the Municipality, is strictly prohibited.
Such conduct is an obvious fundamental public health problem.
At the same time, an Iraqi Muslim family, which has nothing to do with the OccupyTLV camp; and was apparently implanted at the front of the OccupyTLV camp by State authorities, operates here for about a year a private, untreated latrine and a private shower.
This morning, sewage was released by this family, which flooded neighboring tents.
The tent most affected by the sewage flooding happens to belong to an IDF invalid from the Second Lebanon War.
My attempt to explain to the Iraqi man that their conduct is unreasonable, was answered by expletives.
It should be noted that Tel Aviv Municipality Inspectors, who routinely inspect the tents of the OccupyTLV people, skip this family, which clearly violates the restrictions placed on OccupyTLV people. Municipality Inspectors explained to me that this family was exempt, since they were “State Persons”.
I request immediate action by the Tel Aviv Municipality to eliminate this serious health hazard in a public park and the OccupyTLV camp.
Needless to say, State authorities should find adequate solutions for “State Persons”.
Truly,

מר ראובן זלוף
משנה למנכ"ל עיריית ת"א
בדוא"ל ובפקס

בנידון: בור שופכין בלתי מטופל, והזרמת מי שופכין ע"י"אנשי מדינה" במאהל המחאה ת"א
מר זלוף הנכבד,

מזה כשנה אני חתום על ההסכם לקיום מאהל המחאה ת"א.בפגישתי הראשונה בעניין זה עם מר יעקב דרכמן, מנהל רובע בני דן, לפני כשנה, מר דרכמן מיוזמתו הבהיר לי שהקמת בורות שופכין ומקלחות ע"י אנשי המאהל, שלא על ידי העיריה, אסורה באיסור חמור.

הדבר ברור מאליו – זוהי בעיית תברואה ציבורית בסיסית.

יחד עם זאת, משפחה מוסלמית מרובת ילדים מעיראק, שאין בינה לבין מאהל המחאה ולא כלום, ושככל הנראה הושתלה בחזית מאהל המחאה על ידי רשויות המדינה, מפעילה כאן כשנה בור שופכין בלתי מטופל ומקלחת פרטית.

הבוקר, הוזרמו מי השופכין של משפחה זאת על אוהלים סמוכים.

האוהל שהוצף על ידי מי השופכין בצורה החמורה ביותר, שייך במקרה לנכה צה"ל ממלחמת לבנון השנייה.

ניסיון להסביר לאבי המשפחה העיראקי שהתנהלותם בלתי סבירה,נענה בקללות.

יש לציין שפקחי עיריית ת"א שבדקו פעמים רבות את אוהלי אנשי המחאה, אינם מפקחים על הנעשה על ידי משפחה זאת, החורגת מן המותר לאנשי מאהל המחאה. פקחי עירית ת"א הסבירו לי שמשפחה זאת פטורה מן הפיקוח, כיוון שהם "אנשי מדינה".

אבקש פעולה מיידית של עיריית ת"א לחיסול מפגע תברואתי חמור זה בשטח גן ציבורי ומאהל המחאה ת"א.

למותר לציין שמן הראוי שרשויות המדינה יטפלו כראוי ב"אנשי מדינה".

בברכה,

Militias head to Nevada rancher’s standoff with feds: We’re not ‘afraid to shoot’

  • Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy’s decades-long battle against the federal government over grazing rights has heated to the point where militia groups have joined in and taken up spots against the feds who’ve circled his land — and talk is, they’re not afraid to open fire.

    A spokesman for the one of the militia groups said as much to local 8 News Now: I’m not “afraid to shoot,” he said.

    14-04-11 US: Citizens United and McCutcheon - Dred Scott of our generation


    Whereas Dred Scott led to the Civil War, with total surveillance and Federal abuse of power at every level, the chances of organized civil war appear slim.
    Instead, we see the low grade civil war - like the stand off in Nevada right now...

    The War on Democracy: SCOTUS Weighs In
    Americans are worried about the economy and economic inequality. Most of us feel the government should do something to reduce inequality. Now the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has weighed in with its April 2 nd decision in McCutcheon v. FEC making it more difficult for the 99 percent to influence government to remedy inequality.

    14-04-11 I miss America...


    3 mins · 
    All,
    Today we are not Republicans or Democrats, Washingtonians or Nevadans... we are Americans who believe in Freedom and Liberty and that human life is more important than a tortoise. It has become obvious to all of us that Federal overreach will not stop and is dramatically harming every citizen.
    Yesterday, we dispatched a group of patriots from Washington State to Nevada to report directly what is happening on the ground and to begin a vigil of prayer for peace and freedom at the Bundy ranch. Enough is enough. A sniper rifle is not due process and I agree with the Nevada Governor this is pure intimidation especially since the court case has not even run its course. NOW IS THE TIME TO STAND. TAKE ACTION 4 WAYS:
    First, join me in prayer and fasting to Almighty God for a peaceful resolution to the situation and for the safety of those traveling to and already on the ground in Nevada.
    Second, after prayerful consideration and much counsel I have put out the call to legislators in 5 states to join Rep David Taylor and me in traveling to Nevada in support of State Assemblywoman Michele Fiore and the Bundy family. This is in conjunction with the call put out across the country to Sheriff's by C.S.P.O.A.'a Sheriff Richard Mack and veterans by Oath Keepers of America. If you know a legislator, share this with them.
    Third, if you are a patriot in Washington or Idaho please join us in traveling to Nevada to love our neighbors and peacefully stand against this tyranny on the range.
    Fourth, please join me in calling and emailing the Gov. Brian Sandoval to immediately step in and end this dangerous and violent escalation by the Bureau of Land Management. http://gov.nv.gov/contact/
    Despite property rights being unalienable, as many in the ranching, farming, logging, mining, and manufacturing industries know this is not an isolated incident. Government seizure or denying use of property without just compensation through nonsensical environmental regulations based on non-peer reviewed science is destroying rural America. This has happened in Idaho and here in eastern Washington with rapidly occurring frequency. After several phone calls with attorneys from all over the country, including Nevada, it is clear that the Federal government's actions WILL NOT STOP IN NEVADA. This war by the Obama administration on rural America and hardworking Americans will go no further.
    This involves all of us. It will take all of us to restore a God Honoring Constitutional Republic. I want to thank all of you for your prayers and support. It is an honor to serve you. May we stand now so that our children and grandchildren can live in peace and prosperity and freedom.
    May God pour out His grace and mercy on us and may this endeavor glorify, honor, and praise Him.
    In Freedom,
    Matt Shea

    ===14-04-11 ISRAEL: IDF evicts, takes over extremist rabbinic Jewish school in Palestine===
    As long as they were only engaging in violence against Palestinians, it was OK. However, following this week's violence by the extreme nationalist Jewish settlers against IDF in the Yitzhar settlement, their rabbinic school "Od Yosef Hai" was closed down today!
    Needless to say, the settlements and the extremist nationalistic rabbinic schools are funded by the Israeli gov to begin with!

    14-04-10 ISRAEL: Anxiety grips the legal racket? // בהלה אחזה בכנופיית שלטון החוק?

    [עברית להלן]
    OccupyTLV, April 10 - Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was convicted of corruption related charges.  As a spin-off of the same case and several other corruption cases against Olmert, both Olmert and his counsel are now under investigation for obstruction of justice. 
    The investigation stems from allegations by Olmert's former secretary Shulah Zaquen that Olmert and his counsel attempted to silence her and prevent her from cooperating with the investigation and trial.
    Today, Globes runs a large headline, quoting unnamed "senior attorneys":
    ___ 
    Following the investigation of Attorney Navot Tel-Zur in the Olmert-Zaquen affair, senior attorneys attack:
    "Law enforcement should leave attorneys alone, and let them represent their clients as they deem fit, and not intimidate them".
    Attorney Navot Tel-Zur, Olmert's criminal defense attorney, who is under investigation regarding pressuring Shulah Zaquen not to sign a plea bargain in the Holyland case, is not alone.  The parade of attorneys led into the investigation rooms has become common in recent years, and alarms attorneys.  "It stems from desperation by police, and may deter attorneys from performing their function. It would lead to criminal court process that is bias from the start."
    ___
    Israeli judges, magistrates and attorneys would like the public to believe that obstruction of justice is their natural right...
    And shouldn't today's Globes publication be deemed an attempt to obstruct police investigation?
    Corruption of the judiciary and the legal profession is central to the current socio-economic crisis in Israel. 

    ===14-04-10 בהלה בכנופיית שלטון החוק?===
    מאהל המחאה ת"א, 10 לאפריל - שופטים, רשמים, ועורכי דין היו רוצים שנאמין ששיבוש הליכי משפט הוא זכותם הטבעית ...

    A nuclear Iran threatens. The Palestinian conflict smolders. Meanwhile, Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has largely vanquished his domestic foes—the Israeli media, the political opposition—in a battle backed by two U.S. billionaires and reportedly fueled by his wife, Sara. Interviewing the 62-year-old leader, David Margolick explores why “Bibi” is in control of his country, but not of its destiny.

    Published on Apr 8, 2014
    4-8-14 - Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) drew attention today after getting into a heated back and forth with Attorney General Eric Holder during a House Judicial Committee hearing. At the same hearing, Gohmert's fellow Texas Republican Rep. Blake Farenthold apparently decided he did not even want to ask Holder any questions, suggesting he belongs in jail.

    In lieu of questioning Holder, Farenthold delivered the following statement:

    "I'm committed to maintaining the Constitutional balance of power and the authority that this legislative branch has, and I just don't think it's appropriate that Mr. Holder be here. If an American citizen had not complied with one of the Justice Department's subpoenas, they would be in jail and not sitting here in front of me, testifying."
    Like Gohmert, who raised the ire of the attorney general by bringing up the House's decision to hold him in contempt of Congress, Farenthold was referring to Holder's refusal to turn over subpoenaed documents related to Operation Fast and Furious.
