July 06, 2011 journal, Rupert Murdoch Fox News caught red handed hacking into phone conversations of families of dead soldiers and many more to hijack juicy news stories & now orders his London News of the World closed."Make sure your sin will find you out". Read about the evil empire of Murdoch's Fox News- http://www.slate.com/id/2298691/ "When legendary editor Kelvin MacKenzie ran Rupert Murdoch's London Sun in the 1980s and early 1990s, he would incite his reporters into tabloid action by ordering them to "put a ferret" up the trousers of the powers that be. As Neil Chenoweth writes in Rupert Murdoch: The Untold Story of the World's Greatest Media Wizard: [MacKenzie] would do this until the moment it became clear that in the course of making up stories, inventing quotes, invading people's privacy, and stepping on toes, the Sun had committed some truly hideous solecism-like running the wrong lottery numbers-when he would rush back to the newsroom shouting, "Reverse ferret!" This is the survival moment, when a tabloid changes course in a blink without any reduction in speed, volume, or moral outrage. In the midst of a disaster of its own making, it pulls a ferret out of a hat and sails on. Chenoweth continues: Murdoch's entire business style may be characterized as a reverse ferret. Time and again when his plans have gone awry and he has found himself facing calamity, his superb survival skills have saved him. Just before he hits the wall, he does a little dummy, he feints this way and that, and then he sets off with undiminished speed in a new direction. This is Murdoch's genius: not that he gets into a jam, but that he is able to walk away afterward, an implausible winner. Today, as Murdoch's son James announced that News Corp. is shuttering its besieged News of the World, the voice you really heard was Rupert Murdoch, running away from the paper as fast as his 80-year-old legs would carry him, howling "reverse ferret" at full power. The dramatic closure of the 168-year-old newspaper is Murdoch's way of deflecting attention from not just the paper's scandalous phone-hacking ways but its destruction of evidence in the Milly Dowler murder case, its payoffs to police, its role in the cover-up of the scandal, and lord knows what other crimes it committed. By killing the newspaper, said by the Guardian to be the company's most profitable venture, Murdoch hopes to create the illusion that justice has been done. By abruptly closing the paper, Murdoch also scatters a potentially incriminating paper- and computer-trail. Although the 2.66 million circulation News of the World will die after its last edition Sunday, the newspaper's ferret is still very much alive and may soon have a new home. The Guardian, whose investigations under reporter Nick Davies uncovered the phone-hacking outrages, has already spotted the furry creature migrating to another Murdoch-owned London tabloid. The Guardian reports, "There are already industry rumours that the News of the World's stablemate the Sun could be turned into a seven-day operation." When asked by the BBC if a Sunday edition of the Sun was in the works, a company spokeswoman answered cryptically, "What happens to the Sun is a matter for the future." News of the World-When the subject is financial crimes, this sort of artful shifting of assets is called "money laundering." The cover story Murdoch has advanced from the beginning and continues to push is that rogue operators were responsible for the scandal. That's the line James Murdoch observed today, when he told the News of the World staff the paper must die so the company can live.

Photo of News of the World by Adrian Dennis/AFP/Getty Images. John Rohan-I'm confused. If Jack Shafer thinks that closing the paper is Murdoch's way of running from the problem, then what would constitute facing it? A "reverse ferret" would be a cheap way to deflect attention without losing business. It wouldn't include shutting the business down! Keep in mind that it isn't as if Murdoch is personally running News of the World. If Shafer isn't satisfied by Murdoch closing the entire profitable business, then what would be a suitable penance in his eyes? For Murdoch to commit suicide? Jacob Cerf -Newspapers are only a small fraction of Murdoch's business. The real money is in television, and his current project in the UK is to buy complete control of satellite broadcaster B-Sky-B, where he now hasa minority interest.. Killing NOTW is not a bad sacrifice if it avoids the regulators torpedoing the B-Sky-B deal. The paper is profitable now, but tabloid readership has been declining for years. As Larry the Liquidator says in Other People's Money, it's not good for a business to be constantly increasing its share of a constantly declining market. Jascob-Who will be surprised when "News of the Globe" runs its first edition the week after "News of the World" runs its last? The only shock will be that News of the Globe will be as profitable as News of the World ever was. Michael Jennings -I think Rupert Murdoch is in severe damage control mode now, to the extent that he is attempting to minimise the number of his people who end up in prison. I doubt, in the end, that there are many people he wouldn't ultimately throw to the wolves, so I am curious as to who he is trying to protect. (I can guess, but I am not going to guess out loud). Still, it will be very interesting to see who gets arrested. If there is any justice at all, Scotland Yard are going to have to arrest a number of their own people as well. So very interesting indeed. Jacob Cerf-The Guardian and the Telegraph are both reporting that NOTW records show payments of L100,000 to cops while Brooks was the editor. That is not coffee money (even at Starbucks prices), and it is highly unlikely that Brooks didn't know what was going on. Oh, and the Guardian is reporting that Andy Coulson, her successor (and David Cameron's ex press secretary) is going to be arrested tomorrow. It is premature to say that killing the NOTW will get the Murdochs off the hook. Social Networking by Echo-How the Heck Are We Going To Catch Terrorists Who Have Surgically Implanted Bombs?

The economic blow of sanctions will be felt by every family in Israel." The business leaders' particular concern was the U.N. General Assembly session this September, where the Palestinian Authority is planning to call for recognition of a Palestinian state. Dan Gillerman, Israel's former ambassador to the United Nations, warned participants that "the morning after the anticipated announcement of recognition of a Palestinian state, a painful and dramatic process of Southafricanization will begin" - meaning that Israel would become a pariah state, subject to international sanctions. In this and subsequent meetings, the oligarchs urged the government to initiate efforts modeled on the Saudi (Arab League) proposals and the unofficial Geneva Accord of 2003, in which high-level Palestinian and Israeli negotiators detailed a two-state settlement that was welcomed by most of the world, dismissed by Israel and ignored by Washington. In March, Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak warned of the prospective U.N. action as a "tsunami." The fear is that the world will condemn Israel not only for violating international law but also for carrying out its criminal acts in an occupied state recognized by the U.N. The U.S. and Israel are waging intensive diplomatic campaigns to head off the tsunami. If they fail, recognition of a Palestinian state is likely. More than 100 states already recognize Palestine. The United Kingdom, France and other European nations have upgraded the Palestine General Delegation to "diplomatic missions and embassies - a status normally reserved only for states," Victor Kattan observes in the American Journal of International Law. Palestine has also been admitted to U.N. organizations apart from UNESCO and the World Health Organization, which have avoided the issue for fear of U.S. defunding - no idle threat. In June the U.S. Senate passed a resolution threatening to suspend aid for the Palestine Authority if it persists with its U.N. initiative. Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the U.N., warned that there was "no greater threat" to U.S. funding of the U.N. "than the prospect of Palestinian statehood being endorsed by member states," The (London) Daily Telegraph reports. Israel's new U.N. Ambassador, Ron Prosor, informed the Israeli press that U.N. recognition "would lead to violence and war." The U.N. would presumably recognize Palestine in the internationally accepted borders, including the Golan Heights, West Bank and Gaza. The heights were annexed by Israel in December 1981, in violation of U.N. Security Council orders. In the West Bank, the settlements and acts to support them are clearly in violation of international law, as affirmed by the World Court and the Security Council. In February 2006, the U.S. and Israel imposed a siege in Gaza after the "wrong side" - Hamas - won elections in Palestine, recognized as free and fair. The siege became much harsher in June 2007 after the failure of a U.S.-backed military coup to overthrow the elected government. In June 2010, the siege of Gaza was condemned by the International Committee of the Red Cross - which rarely issues such reports - as "collective punishment imposed in clear violation" of international humanitarian law. The BBC reported that the ICRC "paints a bleak picture of conditions in Gaza: hospitals short of equipment, power cuts lasting hours each day, drinking water unfit for consumption," and the population of course imprisoned. The criminal siege extends the U.S.-Israeli policy since 1991 of separating Gaza from the West Bank, thus ensuring that any eventual Palestinian state would be effectively contained within hostile powers - Israel and the Jordanian dictatorship. The Oslo Accords, signed by Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1993, proscribe separating Gaza from the West Bank. A more immediate threat facing U.S.-Israeli rejectionism is the Freedom Flotilla that seeks to challenge the blockade of Gaza by bringing letters and humanitarian aid. In May 2010, the last such attempt led to an attack by Israeli commandoes in international waters - a major crime in itself - in which nine passengers were killed, actions bitterly condemned outside the U.S. In Israel, most people convinced themselves that the commandoes were the innocent victims, attacked by passengers, another sign of the self-destructive irrationality sweeping the society. Today the U.S. and Israel are vigorously seeking to block the flotilla. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton virtually authorized violence, stating that "Israelis have the right to defend themselves" if flotillas "try to provoke action by entering into Israeli waters" - that is, the territorial waters of Gaza, as if Gaza belonged to Israel. Greece agreed to prevent the boats from leaving (that is, those boats not already sabotaged) - though, unlike Clinton, Greece referred rightly to "the maritime area of Gaza." In January 2009, Greece had distinguished itself by refusing to permit U.S. arms to be shipped to Israel from Greek ports during the vicious U.S.-Israeli assault in Gaza. No longer an independent country in its current financial duress, Greece evidently cannot risk such unusual integrity. Asked whether the flotilla is a "provocation," Chris Gunness, the spokesperson for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, the major aid agency for Gaza, described the situation as desperate: "If there were no humanitarian crisis, if there weren't a crisis in almost every aspect of life in Gaza there would be no need for the flotilla â(euro) [ 95 percent of all water in Gaza is undrinkable, 40 percent of all disease is water-borne ... 45.2 percent of the labor force is unemployed, 80 percent aid dependency, a tripling of the abject poor since the start of the blockade. Let's get rid of this blockade and there would be no need for a flotilla." Diplomatic initiatives such as the Palestinian state strategy, and nonviolent actions generally, threaten those who hold a virtual monopoly on violence. The U.S. and Israel are trying to sustain indefensible positions: the occupation and its subversion of the overwhelming, long-standing consensus on a diplomatic settlement.

Chomsky is emeritus professor of linguistics and philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass. Art Brennan-People who care about peace and justice in the world are people who care about other people. Thank you Professor Chomsky for the work you do to help us understand the facts of the draconian US government policy toward the Palestinian people. The people of the US and Israel need to wake up and realize that they are just like everyone else, no better and no worse, and so are the Palestinians who deserve the peace and justice that the US and Israel deny them through brute force and economic terrorism. Edmond-I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Brennan. One must remember that Israel came about as a country in upper 40's thanks to western powers who won the big war WWII and were in a position to contribute to that fact. Jews persecuted, especially so, in WWII came from all over the world and converged on Israel to reclaim it and as such take it away from the Palestinians. Mind you the Jew had vacated Israel in 70 AD, the great exodus. They became citizens of the world. How can anyone people claim a country, they had vacated for centuries, to be theirs? By that logic the American Indian, those on reservations and those elsewhere have the same right to come out and claim any land in these United States theirs!! Precedent was set. Douglas-It is a myth that Jews had vacated Israel by 70 AD. Read Shlomo Sand, The Invention of the Jewish People. The present day Palestinians are actually descended from the ancient Israelites. Through the centuries many of them converted either to Christianity or to Islam. As Sand points out, methods of mass transportation sufficient to relocate the entire Jewish people did not exist in the first century AD. Even if the Romans had wanted to relocate the Jews, they had no means of doing so. Myths persist however groundless, however. david-Problem is I don't think that's actually correct, but more importantly Hamas isn't the point here. The point is that support for the people of Palestine is coming from far and wide. That support is not coming exclusively from Hamas nor is external support being given exclusively (if at all) to Hamas. Hamas is not the point. The occupation of Palestine and the growing support for resistance to that occupation is the point. You're trying to make it all about 'Hamas' because that functions to de-humanize the people who have skin in this game, whose lives and freedom are actually at stake. 'Hamas' is a brand name in this conversation, deployed to impugn whomsoever you try to associate with it. RockyMissouri-You are WRONG..! There are MANY Israelis who DEPLORE the horrifying manner in which the settlers and the Israeli government treat the Palestinians.! ESPECIALLY, people who were treated THEMSELVES, in such a VILE MANNER....and who know of the pain that bigotry and soul-destroying racism can cause......ESPECIALLY, those individuals....! And yet....here it is... Hsssam-It's not that the Arabs hate the Jew for occupying the land. There were always Arab Jews who lived in peace with the Christian and Muslim Arabs. The problem started when the non semetic Jews from Europe took over this region and tried to ethnically cleanse the new Israel. The European Jews did not want to assimilate into the area. They demanded that the native inhabitants change to their Euopean ways by force or face expulsion. Remember the Irgun? joe plmber-History will condemn Israel as a rogue, terrorist, pariah, racist, fascist state with fascist inhuman leaders and a useless docile racist population full of hatred and murderous impulses. But history will condemn the US as a hypocritical racist fascist state that made Israeli crimes of genocide and against humanity possible along with supporting the same crimes in the cases of Colombia, Sudan, Bahrain, and a host of other backwards anti-evolutionary regimes. This makes the US 0ne of the most evil governments in world history. This is what has become of the once greatest nation in the world - shame America!! Newscritter-History is written by whoever controls the means of production. Victor's history, the type loathed by the great Howard Zinn, is all that is taught in the US. But when the next financial crash arrives - and it will be soon - this power over words will be lost. Language is a currency that is linked to power. Power has many ways of making itself felt. But money, real assets, give power its enabling ability. Once the dollar is hung out to dry, a new history will be in the offing. That's the hope anyway. Douglas-Nonsense!! Conservatives are not the most ardent supporters of Israel. No one was a more ardent supporter of the Zionist apartheid state than the disgraced liberal congressman Anthony Weiner. No current members of the US Senate are more ardent supporters ot Israel than Barbara Boxer., Charles Schumer, Tom Harkin and John Kerry. It doesn't matter whether members of congress are liberals or conservatives they are almost totally owned by AIPAC. Actually, the congressperson least likely to support Israel is conservative right winger Ron Paul. No, not all liberals are the same, but the ones in congress are almost all Zionist ass kissers. Dolly Dagger-So sad that most rabid Conservatives have never bothered to learn the real origins of Israel. Fiction_detective-Let's hope that level heads prevail and the flotilla is allowed to deliver its aid without another vicious and illegal assault by the IDF. The US/Israeli bond will not suffer if these boats are allowed to deliver the aid. Newscritter-Surely they have no authority to inspect any vessel as the ships are sailing in Gazan waters. Israel has or should have no jurisdiction over this territory - correct? Douglas-The criminal state of Israel has no right whatsoeveer to inspect the flotilla in international waters. Perfectclue1-Let the record show that the "Tsunami" , historical cumulation of injustices committed, not only by Fascist Israel through its reactionary Zionism, includes the fascist U.S. Empire under liberals and conservatives and the fascist military alliances under NATO. We need to recognize that ALL class states are FAILED class states and that the Post colonial deformed CLASS OUTCOME, including the previous Failed Stalinist States are part of a GLOBAL FAILED CLASS MATRIX of deformed, class outcomes which includes Fascist States, apartheid states, post colonial states UNABLE TO BREAK , from the death grip of class deformed hierarchies of Western States. Only a civil society that has become part of a SOCIAL TSUNAMI removing class hierarchies within states and between states can hope to become truly INDEPENDENT from Western Capital, corporate fascism, colonialism and Empire tyranny. Israel became a failed class state, like most of the world, as soon as it embraced class nationalism and ethnic cleansing , using the very NAZI, fascist methods against Palestinians , forced, killed, out of their villages by the Fascist militias of Zionist thugs. All class states start off with crippled, class Republics degenerating into class tyrants and Empire itself. The class disease of Empire and exclusion has now reached the point of Fascism for both Israel, and Amerika, including the fascist NATO, military arrangements. The world is moving not only against Fascist Zionism, but against Fascist U.S. Empires, and all their failed bribed, blackmailed, threatened quislings, misleaders that reflect global CLASS TYRANNY/FASCISM. Brenda Wayne Wyatt-Israel will have to give the Palestinians their land back DesignCreature-Israel is like the USA. It can and will do anything it wants, whenever it wants, and to whomever it wants. Big daddy, Washington D.C., will make sure of that. Eric Ford-About "Joe six pack", just remember the media slants our view of him. George W. Bush was never elected, yet most people think Joe voted for him. Brumark614-Oh, so Noam Chomsky is dismissed as just another "self-hating Jew"? No, he recognizes that Israel is rapidly becoming an apartheid state - which no one can support. It's past time for the two-state solution that Israeli hardliners resist at their peril. And Chomsky recognizes this." EthanAllenSpeaks-"Professor Chomsky is a Jewish U.S. citizen who opposes Zionist political ideology and the policies that spring from it, this does not constitute hatred of Israel, or of its people; most Zionists are not Israeli citizens, and most Israeli citizens are not Zionist extremists in the fanatical CONservative sense of the term. Your intentional conflation of fringe talking points with facts speaks for itself." Mad Mal-"The group that killed Americans?" Like Israel did in 1967 when they attacked the USS Liberty leaving 34 dead and 170+ wounded? pappe,-Why, I wonder? Perhaps it is because of Israel's ongoing war crimes, crimes justified by religion. Religion, for crying out loud. A belief. Not truth in any manner of definition. Violence from a religious justification is the most disgraceful act one human can do to another and shows the perpetrators to be pathetically narrow-minded, selfish and, quite frankly, stupid. Israel brings the world's condemnation down upon itself because of its actions. And how is the flotilla illegal? In Israel? So what? Gaza is a Jewish shame. Lola P-Anti-Israel shit. How very Hasbaranik of yours, potroast. Why don't you go ahead and accuse everybody already of being 'anti-semitic'(tm). C'mon, try it. I mean it's not as if it's even been tried before.n Guess what, potroast, the IDF has probably killed more Americans that Hezbollah ever did. Perfectclue1-Postroad: You might want to consider much larger historical failures instead of being an apologist for Fascist Zionism. Historically, there is a division between the revolutionary liberals in the Enlightenment and the "Post" Enlightenment of the French revolution capitulating to Napoleon, class laws and first capitalist tyrant of a failed class state. The term, "Post" reflects in all cases, CLASS DEFORMED states which, instead of dismantling class hierarchies existing throughout class history, from Patriarchy to Feudalism, were allowed to continue, failing to follow through their social agenda of reconstructing class hierarchies into a social agency, the middle layers who would set up social control of wealth, hence the classical, Natural law of political and economic rights that would become the new structure and mechanism. The Enlightenment, revolutionary liberals became class whores, class thugs through existing class hierarchies which produced class nationalism, colonialims, apartheid and the FASCISM/HOLOCAUST against Jews and the social, moral center, mislabeled the "left". The failed Western democracies, like Israel, all degenerated from crippled, corrupt, co opted class Republics to become class tyrants, oligarchies, and Empires through class tyranny, today's global Fascism, including FASCIST ZIONISM. Cabotool-I have been relatively tolerant of Israel until now, despite the fact that I recognize their actions against the Palestinians as criminal. I have now lost all patience with Israel. I have now come to the point where I will be certain that anything I purchase, does not come from Israel, no matter how good a buy or how well made. I will do everything in my power to persuade my like minded friends to do the same. I will reserve scorn for those lost souls who still support Israel. If I cannot persuade these "friends" to take actions in the name of peace, love and justice; I will remove them from my list of friends. If I have left out any actions that I can take, please post them and I will add them to my plan of action. But please, no suggestions of violence. It has been proven many times in the world that the best answer to violence is love and non violence. In the long run love, peace and seeking justice will bring the criminals in Israel to justice. Abu Nidal-This is another example of the audacity of sameness by this administration.America has lost it's sanity, same policy goes on since Truman mainly because of people naivety or fear of being branded anti Semitic. Resistance to occupation became terror.Terror is in the eye of it's beholder. Chomsky represent the true Jewish conscious. Israel is an apartheid state, the world knows it well except the evangelist, Baptist and fundamentalist. Dave Kisor-Of course they have the right to defend against an attack, but shouldn't there first be an attack to defend against? This preemptive hogwash has gotten out of control and the US government is complicit. Passengers attack Israeli commandos? Are they on drugs or off their meds? The Israeli government seems to be pushing for martyrdom in a big way and doesn't seem to want peace, as it threatens their hegemony. Jim Hyder-The peace process has been moot ever since the zionists took over 95% of the West Bank. So if anything does happen it is on the heads of the zionists in Congress and the Department of State. PM Netanyahu will not yield and Palestine cannot die. Law-Alex Seitz-Wald | ThinkProgress.

Just ask Helen Thomas. One comment above mentioned the Israelites left their land of Palestine in 70ad and they did but not voluntarily, they were driven out and their records of bloodline was destroyed. The Russian Jewish impostures of modern Israel knew this and took advantage of the fact that they could not prove their heritage to be awarded a homeland. The Russian Jewish convert imposters never lived in Palestine and have no right to claim it. Modern Israel is today occupied by Khazar Russian Jewish converts. The facts are most the children of Israel went into captivity, 10 lost tribes in B.C. times.
