America's Judicial Body works ponderously slowly but it does work,
especially with clear and simple facts like who knew what when.
And, if a crime, big or small can be pinned down, then other strands can
then open into much more complex 'conspiracy' territory.
Over the last few weeks several judicial investigations have begun to
bite. Lesser members of what had looked like an oiligarchic mafia
lockdown have started to be legally picked off one by one and those at
the centre of the cancer begin to question their own powers, as do all
other involved parties as they sense for the first time that there may be
a new bandwagon in town. I call it the Future, but of course those
involved up to their genitalia in the whole sorry, outdated political
charade, see much shorter gains. They think they're actors, but
they're merely agitated drops in a wave.
Take a familiar scene at the US District Court House in Washington, DC.
this week - the media camped out in the courtyard in front of the E.
Barrett Prettyman Federal Court House.
Look familiar? Yes, they were there during
Watergate. They were there during the
Iran-Contra scandals. And they were
there, more recently, for the non-scandal of
Monica Lewinsky/Whitewater.
The preponderance of satellite dishes, microwave "trees," and
entrepreneurial hot dog vendors all point to an impending scandal of
similar (or far greater) proportions. Where in the past they
anxiously awaited the arrivals and departures of people with names like
Haldeman, Ehrlichman, Liddy, North, Poindexter,
Secord, McFarlane, Tripp, Curry, and
Hubbell, now they’re looking for people with
names like Miller and
Rove to enter and exit the famous court
house.
Word among reporters and intelligence people is that the criminal probe
is focusing beyond the CIA leak of the
identities of Valerie Plame Wilson and on to the wider role of senior
White House officials in a conspiracy to lie about the reasons the
United States used to go to war in Iraq.
The focus of the probe is on the White
House Iraq Group (WHIG) which leads directly to
Carl Rove
(called back on Friday for the FOURTH time),
Scooter Libby, and Ari Fleischer
(names that have already been mentioned by informed sources
as likely targets) but also to Vice President
Cheney, National Security Adviser
Stephen Hadley, Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice, International Public
Diplomacy chief Karen Hughes, and Chief of
Staff Andrew Card.
“President” Bush, himself, could also be a
subject of the criminal probe for
conspiracy.
There are indications that the White House’s outing of Valerie Plame
Wilson and her Brewster Jennings & Associates may have also
compromised the CIA's Counter Proliferation efforts in Iraq prior to the
war. Remnants of Iraq's security services and other
paramilitaries working for the U.S. may have actually
executed Iraqi assets in a position
to know about the destruction of Iraqi WMDs by 1995. In other
words, they may have been silenced as witnesses
to Iraq's WMD disarmament 8 years prior to the U.S.
invasion.

all on my little porty tv but i won’t be able to contact you to share our
joy. so for the next several months let’s sit back and watch the
slow motion collapse of the Last

thatcher finished of the conservative party forever, bush has buried the
gung-ho corporate empire extreme of the republican party once and for

A VERY
IMPORTANT BOOK HAS JUST BEEN PUBLISHED WHICH EVERONE SHOULD READ.
UNBELIEVABLY DIRTY TRICKS AND THREATS WERE PULLED TO TRY TO STOP ITS

FINALLY BEEN PUBLISHED AND MADE AVAILABLE THIS WEEK. IT’S

REACHES AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE FOR IT DEALS WITH THE TRUE STORY OF
PROBABLY THE SINGLE MOST GAWPING SPIRITUAL WOUND ON THE PLANET BODY ON
WHICH WE LIVE.
WE CAN’T PUBLISH THE BOOK ITSELF, SO HERE’S THE AUTHOR’S STORY OF THE
DISGUSTINGLY UNDEMOCRATIC ATTEMPTS TO SILENCE HIM AS A TASTER FOR THE
CONTENTS OF

ITSELF.
Beyond
Chutzpah
The Real Issue Is
Israel's Horrendous Human Rights Record
In The Occupied Territories
And The Misuse Of
Anti-Semitism To
Delegitimise Criticism
A statement by Norman G. Finkelstein
upon publication of ’Beyond
Chutzpah’
Professor Alan Dershowitz of Harvard University is
currently best known for his advocacy of the "most
excruciating" torture against terrorist suspects such as a
"needle being shoved under the fingernails." The
alleged purpose of this torture is to extract a truthful confession but
its real consequence, as human rights organizations have pointed out, is
to produce whatever statements are necessary to end the suffering. For 15
months Dershowitz has applied a variant of this truth-seeking
technique less physically painful but no less excruciating -- to
prospective publishers of Beyond Chutzpah, which offers a critical
examination of Israel's human rights record and Dershowitz's defense of
it. Enlisting one of the most powerful law firms in the country
after his personal initiatives proved unsuccessful, Dershowitz has
repeatedly threatened to bankrupt highly respected publishers with
litigation if they didn't cancel publication of my book. He could
then proclaim that the cancellation confirmed the "truth" that
Beyond Chutzpah didn't meet scholarly standards.
Dershowitz justified these blackmail tactics on the ground that Beyond
Chutzpah libels him. Yet, when I first began to expose his
gross scholarly misconduct, Dershowitz publicly declared at UCLA (on 21
October 2003) that he wouldn't respond with a libel action because he
believed "so strongly in the First Amendment and full freedom of
speech." Ironically, just as he was threatening my
publishers with expensive and time-consuming lawsuits, Dershowitz
denounced Holocaust denier David Irving, who had sued Deborah Lipstadt
for libel, with these words: "Before Irving lost his case
[against Lipstadt], several publishers had refused to issue books
critical of Irving, out of fear of his bringing expensive and
time-consuming lawsuits. That was a chilling of free speech"
(Afterword to Lipstadt's History on Trial; his emphasis).
My publisher, University of California Press, was understandably
at great pains to fend off a potential lawsuit by Dershowitz; for an
academic publisher the associated costs would have been ruinous, to the
point of making certain victory meaningless. On occasion our relationship
became strained and at one point it appeared as if we had reached an
impasse. However, through the skilful mediation of Nation magazine senior
editor Roane Carey (who was the freelance editor of Beyond Chutzpah) and
others, a satisfactory compromise was reached that protected the
interests of both publisher and author, and, most importantly, preserved
the integrity of the book. I would like personally to extend my heartfelt
thanks to all who supported me and the press during this difficult
period.
Unable to suppress publication of my book, Dershowitz has instead
declared victory on the ground that certain allegations about his
scholarly misconduct have been removed from the final text. Resorting to
blackmail and censorship is not normally reason for boasting. It's also
difficult to understand how the publication of a book copiously
documenting that The Case for Israel is among the most spectacular
academic frauds ever published on the Israel-Palestine conflict should be
cause for his gloating.
More to the point, is it accurate to state that allegations of mine have
been removed? An appendix to Beyond Chutzpah irrefutably demonstrates
that Dershowitz not only massively lifted information and ideas from
another author, Joan Peters, without attribution, but that he did so from
a book, Peters's From Time Immemorial, universally dismissed as a fraud.
It is left to readers to decide whether Dershowitz committed plagiarism
as defined by Harvard University -- "passing off a source's
information, ideas, or words as your own by omitting to cite
them." The appendix also explicitly recounts my previous
conclusion that Dershowitz didn't have "a clue of his book's
content" and that he was "manifestly ignorant of the content of
his own book" (Beyond Chutzpah, pp. 95, 254). Again, it is left to
readers to draw the only possible inference. In light of the
comprehensive falsification of sources in The Case for Israel that I have
documented, Dershowitz might have been better advised to disclaim
authorship. As I stated to him on Democracy Now!, "For your sake, I
truly hope you did not write this book."

Finally, I would like to comment on Dershowitz's
repeated claim that I stated that my late mother was a Nazi collaborator
(kapo). In an article for FrontPageMagazine.com ("Why is the
University of California Press Publishing Bigotry?," 5 July 2005),
Dershowitz alleged that "[Finkelstein] suspects his mother of having
been a kapo ('really, how else would she have survived?' he asks
rhetorically)," while in a statement posted on his Harvard
University Law School webpage, Dershowitz wrote that "He suspects
his own mother of being a kapo and cooperating with the Nazis during the
Holocaust"
(
www.law.harvard.edu/faculty/Dershowitz/statement). A more elaborate
version of this claim appears in his new book The Case for
Peace:
"Finkelstein even doubted his own mother's denial that she was a
kapo, asking whether her frequent statements that "the best didn't
survive" constituted "an indirect admission of guilt?" The
most he was willing to do was "assume" that his mother answered
him "truthfully." But he questioned even that assumption:
"Still, if she didn't cross fundamental moral boundaries, I glimpsed
from her manner of pushing and shoving in order to get to the head of a
queue, which mortified me. . . . Really, how else would she have
survived?" "
My late mother was a survivor of the Warsaw ghetto, Maidanek
concentration camp and two slave-labor camps. Every member of her family
was exterminated. After the war she was a key witness in an INS
Nazi deportation hearing and at the trial of Maidanek concentration camp
guards in Germany (where I was also present). She has been written up in
many histories of these postwar hearings. Here is the excerpt from my
memoir that Dershowitz consulted to reach his conclusion:
"Except for allusions to relentless pangs of hunger, my mother
never spoke about her personal torments during the war, which was just as
well, since I couldn't have borne them. Like Primo Levi, she often said
that, being "too delicate and refined, the best didn't
survive." Was this an indirect admission of guilt? Much later in
life I finally summoned the nerve to ask whether she had done anything of
which she was ashamed. Calmly replying no, she recalled having refused
the privileged position of "block head" in the camp. She
especially resented the "dirty" question "How did you
survive?" with the insinuation that, to emerge alive from the camps,
survivors must have morally compromised themselves. Given how ferociously
she cursed the Jewish councils, ghetto police and kapos, I assume my
mother answered me truthfully. Although acknowledging that Jews initially
joined the councils from mixed motives, she said that "only
scum," reaping the rewards of doing the devil's work, still
cooperated after it became clear that they were merely cogs in the Nazi
killing machine. When queried why she hadn't settled in Israel after the
war, my mother used to reply, only half in jest, that "I had enough
of Jewish leaders!" The Jewish ghetto police always had the option,
she said, of "throwing off their uniforms and joining the rest of
us" -- a point that Yitzak Zuckerman, a leader of the Warsaw ghetto
uprising, made in his memoir. (It was always gratifying to find my
mother's seemingly erratic or harsh judgments seconded in the reliable
testimonial literature.) Still shaking her head in disbelief, she would
often recall how, after Jews in the ghetto used the most primitive
implements or even bare hands to dig bunkers deep in the earth and
conceal themselves, the Jewish police would reveal these hideouts to the
Germans, sending their flesh-and-blood to the crematoria in order to save
their own skins. One of the first acts of the ghetto resistance was to
kill an officer in the Jewish police. On a sign posted next to his corpse
-- my mother would recall with vengeful glee -- read the epitaph:
"Those who live like a dog die like a dog." Still, if she
didn't cross fundamental moral boundaries, I glimpsed from her manner of
pushing and shoving in order to get to the head of a queue, which
mortified me, how my mother must have fought Hobbes's war of all against
all many a time in the camps. Really, how else would she have survived?
(
www.NormanFinkelstein.com, "Haunted House")"
Comparing the actual text with his presentation of it gives a hint of
how Dershowitz typically reports sources in his publications. I will
forgo comment on the moral character of an individual who defames a
survivor of the Nazi holocaust after her death.
Beyond Chutzpah is now on its way to bookstores. It is my sincere hope
that the repulsive sideshow created by Dershowitz will quickly be
forgotten and that the book's real purpose will now come into focus:
Israel's horrendous human rights record in the Occupied Territories and
the misuse of Anti-Semitism to delegitimize criticism of it.
