Harvard's Stephen Walt will be Stepping Down in Disgrace After Notorious "Israel Lobby" Paper Published

Academic Dean of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, Stephen Walt, will be stepping down from his position as Dean following the publication of a paper that he co-wrote describing a gigantic Jewish conspiracy to control US foreign policy. His paper was immediately endorsed by former Grand Wizard of the KKK, David Duke, and an assortment of Islamic extremist groups. The entire affair as proven a huge embarrassment to Harvard University who have removed the University logo from the paper, posted a strong disclaimer disassociating the school from the paper, and now have announced Mr. Walt’s departure from the Deans desk in the coming months. Mr. Walt released the paper only a few months after Harvard’s Kennedy School received a $20 million donation from Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abd al-Aziz Al-Saud of Saudi Arabia, and only a few weeks after the departure of Harvard President Larry Summers, who was known to oppose such shenanigans. Harvard denies any connection between Walt's stepping down and the paper in question, any connection between the paper and the $20 million dollar donation from the Saudi prince, and any connection to the timing of Summers departure. You make the call.

Message to Iran: Check Out Our New Toy!

As Iran defiantly rejects new UN demands that it freeze uranium enrichment, the US announced today that in June it will detonate a 700 ton explosive charge outside of Las Vegas as a test of “deep penetration.” This is a clear message to Iran that the United States has the technological capability of destroying any Iranian deep bunker nuclear facility. Las Vegas residents will be notified, as will the Russians. This will amount to the largest non-nuclear explosion ever conducted, and is expected to create a mushroom cloud visible from Las Vegas.

Jill Carroll Released: "I Was Treated Well," Really

Other than the fact that my interpreter was SHOT DEAD, I was kidnapped and held against my will for months, threatened with death and made to go on Al Jazeera and desperately plead for my life and for my government to give into the demands of my captors, I was treated just fine. It was kind of like a cruise to Cabo, yeah I couldn’t get off the ship, but the all-night buffet was really great. I have no idea why I was taken or what behind the scenes expensive deal was cut to gain my release. Two words...: Stockholm Syndrome.

Fukuyama Debates Bernard-Henri L'evi on Las Vegas and the Meaning of America

In a fascinating exchange, two of the worlds most recognized and respected intellectuals use Las Vegas as a metaphor to debate the meaning of America. Neo-Conservative Francis Fukuyama, the author of ‘The End of History and the Last Man’; and Frenchman Bernard-Henri Levi author of the new book, ‘In the Footsteps of Tocqueville,’ debate American virtues, vices, neoconservatives, religion, the future of American muscular internationalism, and the role of intellectuals in a free society. Truly a worthwhile read for those with patients.

US Lawyers Stunned That Anyone Would Go before a Judge or the Media and Tell the Truth

Moussaoui offered to testify against himself

With the Death Penalty at stake, Zacarias Moussaoui proudly incriminated himself yesterday in court by announcing that he and shoe bomber Richard Reid were part of a plot to crash a plane into the White House. His US Lawyers sat stunned in the courtroom as their client revealed his involvement in a conspiracy to decapitate the leadership of the United States. He also announced his pre-knowladge of 9/11 (as it related to the twin towers only). It was only a few weeks earlier that University of North Carolina Student, Mohammed Taher-azar, also with his stunned Lawyer standing next to him, proudly announced that in the name of Allah, he tried to kill as many infidels as possible with a rented SUV. US Lawyers are simply not accustomed to dealing with folks who are not only unashamed of their criminal/terrorist actions, but take pride in them. All of this reveals something interesting about our Lawyers, in addition to the terrorists.

Op-ed Of The Day, Krauthammer: What's at stake in the dispute over Iranian nukes? Ultimately, HUMAN SURVIVAL

"With infinitely accelerated exchanges of information helping develop whole new generations of scientists, extremist countries led by similarly extreme men will be in a position to acquire nuclear weaponry. If nothing is done, we face not proliferation but hyperproliferation. Not just one but many radical states will get weapons of mass extinction, and then so will the fanatical and suicidal terrorists who are their brothers and clients.

That will present the world with two futures. The first is Feynman's vision of human destruction on a scale never seen. The second, perhaps after one or two cities are lost with millions killed in a single day, is a radical abolition of liberal democracy as the species tries to maintain itself by reverting to strict authoritarianism--a self-imposed expulsion from the Eden of post-Enlightenment freedom."

Immigration... Security... Solution

By Si Frumkin
With regard to our illegal immigration problems here is a solution. It would not only reduce the pressure on us but would also solve the dilemma of a Europe that is increasingly and relentlessly plagued by the influx of immigrants whose alien culture and religion make assimilation and peaceful coexistence difficult.

Let Europe dedicate funds and effort – possibly with U.S. help – to spread the word in Latin America that Europe needs workers. Their travel would be subsidized – no more tunnels, life threatening treks through the desert or climbing over razor wire fences – just a welcome mat.

It is a fact that the pressure for a better life elsewhere is too strong to be contained by a change of American policy alone. It is also our fortune that the immigrants – legal or not – who come here from Central and South America do not blow up churches, burn cars or bomb railroads. They are too busy working. They would also be a boon to Europe where they would share culture, Christianity and, in many cases, an intelligible language.

The problem with this proposal is that it is far too simple and logical to be taken seriously by our political leaders.
___________________________________________________
The Neocon finds Si Frumkin's proposal interesting and creative. It can help address Europe's negative birth rate and radical Islam issue simultaneously, while relieving pressure on us and the huddled masses from Mexico yearning for a better economic opportunity for their families.

Meet the New Jews: AMERICANS

Congrats to Jim Hogland who has an interesting piece in the Washington Post making the case that Americans today are experiencing a classic form of old-school Anti-Semitism, and in essence, in many ways Americans have become the worlds “new Jews.” Envious of our success and economic wealth, with an exaggerated perception of our all encompassing power…it is increasingly easy for demagogues to point to America as “the man,” and if any tyrant, or even just a weak leader wishes to cut out a niche for themselves, what better way to do so than to be seen as standing up to “the man” (Chavez, Saddam, Ahmadinajad…etc..). This is an interesting thesis and certainly worth considering. However, the Neocon completely disagrees with Mr. Hogland’s conclusion about how to deal with this new form of “anti-Semitism.” He talks about the need for America to “Repair our image” as if our success is our own fault, or somethng to be ashamed of (Catholic/Jewish guilt?). As if the ugly demagoguery of others is cause for our own self-adjustment. First, let us loudly place the primary blame where it belongs and that is on the heads of the “new anti-Semites,” and not on their target: America, as imperfect as we may be.

Afghan Christian, Abdul Rahman, May Go Free "For Lack of Evidence"

Lack of Evidence? Wow, does this mean that if there was “evidence” then he would have been stoned to death? Getting him off on a manufactured technicality to avoid a gigantic diplomatic incident is, of course, much preferable than watching him being “pulled to pieces,” as a “moderate” cleric threatened, but this does not solve the basic issue at hand: Why is Islam so intolerant and insecure that the Law would require the DEATH PENALTY of someone who chooses to exercise a different personal religions expression?

In Iraq, The Historical Record Will Speak Loudly

As the old saying goes, a lie travels around the world many times before the truth gets out of bed in the morning. The innocents of Saddam Hussein is by now a central theme of moonbat nation. However, the truth has a way of reveling itself over time as historians slowly expose the real record one painstaking document at a time. Such is the case with the massive release of the Iraqi government documents captured during Operation Iraqi Freedom, as described in this interesting expose’ in World Magazine.

Major Paper Confirms Blog Report On Accelerated Iranian Enrichment

A few days following Vital Perspective's report on Iran's accelerated Nuclear activity, posted on this web site and a small group of others, The Los Angeles Times today is confirming the report. This Once again proves that a few people with a computer and good sources can easily out-scoop multi-billion dollar media conglomerates from the comfort of their own home office. How much more proof is needed that Newspapers are dinosaurs?

To Paraphrase ‘An Army of Davids’: To call Journalism a profession, is like calling checkers a sport. Journalism is not a profession, it’s an activity. Engineering is a profession, Architecture is a profession, Medial Research is a profession, Journalism is an activity, and like all activities, some people do it better than others, and some people do it more profitably than others, but unlike a real profession, any minimally educated person can do it, and in many cases quite well.

CAIR's Lawsuit Against Anti-CAIR: Case Dismissed.

The Neocon Express congratulates Anti-CAIR for standing up to the CAIR lawsuit. The Neocon is aware of numerous people who have been sued by CAIR, an organization that regularly uses the American legal system in an effort to intimidate and silence Americans from exposing CAIR’s ties to terror. Of all these lawsuits, the Neocon has yet to hear of a single case in which CAIR has prevailed. If someone hears of one please let us know. The following is the statement from Anti-CAIR upon the dismissal of the CAIR Lawsuit:

As you know, the Council on American-Islamic Relations filed a $1.35 million libel suit against me because I made the following statements:

* Let there be no doubt that CAIR is a terrorist supporting front organization that is partially funded by terrorists, and that CAIR wishes nothing more than the implementation of Sharia law in America.”

* CAIR is an “organization founded by Hamas supporters which seeks to overthrow Constitutional government in the United States and replace it with an Islamist theocracy using our own Constitution as protection.”

* “ACAIR reminds our readers that CAIR was started by Hamas members and is supported by terrorist supporting individuals, groups and countries.”

* “Why oppose CAIR? CAIR has proven links to, and was founded by, Islamic terrorists. CAIR is not in the United States to promote the civil rights of Muslims. CAIR is here to make radical Islam the dominant religion in the United States and convert our country into an Islamic theocracy along the lines of Iran. In addition,
CAIR has managed, through the adroit manipulation of the popular media, to present itself as the ‘moderate' face of Islam in the United States. CAIR succeeded to the point that the majority of its members are not aware that CAIR actively supports terrorists and terrorist supporting groups and nations. In addition, CAIR receives
direct funding from Islamic terrorists supporting countries.”

* “CAIR is a fundamentalist organization dedicated to the overthrow of the United States Constitution and the installation of an Islamic theocracy in America.”

I am pleased to report the CAIR lawsuit is over, and has been dismissed, as the parties have reached a mutually agreeable settlement.

I want to thank my attorneys who worked hard on my defense, and all of the others who have stood by me these past two years.

The policies and procedures of Anti-CAIR (ACAIR) have not changed in any way as a result of the CAIR lawsuit settlement. ACAIR, and ACAIR’s founder, Andrew Whitehead, will continue to work to expose and present to interested parties any information regarding CAIR that they feel is of importance.

Iran On The Brink:

Vital Perspective's sources (who the Neocon views as reliable) inform us that the IAEA is urgently warning of the need to reassess the timeline on Iran's nuclear program in light of the following:

Iran has assembled and is possibly already operating the 164-centrifuge cascade
Iran has moved canisters of UF6 to the cascade site
Iran has indicated its intention to operate the cascade over a two-to-three week period, and if successful, to move towards assembly of a 3,000 centrifuge unit.
As we have said before, 3,000 centrifuges could produce enough highly-enriched uranium for a bomb. The IAEA also expressed alarm over Iran's technological capabilities, which are more developed then previously assumed, and its willingness to skip phases in the enrichment process.

Unfortunately, as we have been reporting, the pace of diplomacy is not keeping up with Iran's accelerated drive, as the Russians (and Chinese) continue stalling despite repeated attempts by the U.S., Britain and France to soften the Security Council proposals in an effort to reach consensus.

Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Wednesday that American threats are no more than propaganda, and that a U.S. military attack is not likely, especially in view of U.S. requests for Iran's assistance in solving the crisis in Iraq. He also expressed confidence that the Security Council will fail to reach agreement on sanctions. This statement is particularly significant in view of the buzz in Washington regarding a U.S. dialogue with Iran. Mottaki leaves little doubt that Tehran sees U.S. calls for dialogue as a sign of weakness.

Neocon Projection: Palestinians Covering Up Dangerous Bird Flu Outbreak.

Over a week ago Bird Flu broke out on various Israeli poultry farms from areas adjacent to the Gaza Strip, to farms to the east of West Bank Arab population centers, in the Jordan Valley. These are not large distances. Palestinian clarics described the outbrake on Israeli farms as "punishment from Allah." It is difficult to conceive that numerous Israeli poultry farms would be affected, while Palestinian Authority poultry, sometimes only a short drive down the road remain unaffected. Yet since the outbrake the Palestinians have not reported a single case and have taken no action to destroy infected or potentially infected flocks. This is causing a number of Israeli experts to project that the Palestinian Authority is suppressing information of Bird Flu outbreaks in the Palestinian Authority, a development which could have serious, direct health consequences for Israel. Israel will likely, in the very near future, turn to international bodies like the World Health Organization to assume control of Palestinian counter-Bird Flu issues before it is too late.

UPDATE: Neocon's cover-up suspisions premature: Bird Flu announced today in Gaza on PA farms (likely belatedly announced by a week): "the discovery of bird flu in Gaza changes everything. We are so close to them, and I do not know if they will deal with the problem like it should be dealt with. It definitely complicates things." Israeli veterinarians met with their Palestinian counterparts to discuss how best to deal with the problem. With Hamas set to take over, these types of contacts could halt, complicating counter-Bird Flu efforts acorss the region.

"Peace" Creeps Will Not Thank US & British Military for Rescue and Saving Their Lives

Acting on an intelligence tip, members of the United States & British Military risked their lives to rescue 3 Western leftist “peace” activists. Another member of that group, Mr. Tom Fox was discovered dead, tortured and riddled with bullets only a week earlier. Any thanks for the Military and the young men who risked their lives to save the activists? Nope. Only this: "We believe that the illegal occupation of Iraq by Multinational Forces is the root cause of the insecurity which led to this kidnapping and so much pain and suffering…” Perhaps they should have left them there to rot.
