"Make sure you get your facts
straight," Anna Kolodner said to me as she received my Haters Magazine
business card and took down my name. "Absolutely," I replied,
relishing the patinaed protocols of her and my statements (if it is not
wholly inappropriate to utter the word "protocols" in a story of this
subject).
The venue was Kehillath Israel, or KI to the hipper people of
Brookline, of which I am not. Assuming you may or may not be as
well, various nouns and verbs in this story shall have definitions,
keys, and references. Pardon the self-referential metalanguage
and the story within a story if you will, but the nature of this story
is a Richardian, which is to say that it is an example of the very
thing it wishes to describe, or more accurately, it is a continuation
of the event it purports to cover. Thus the "facts" will be
"straight" with the caveat that a good fact or factum bene is not always a bene factum -- a good deed done or
a benefaction -- a
good thing said.
"Please say only good things about me and my good faction" is a rather
tall order for anyone. I will in fact say good things and bad things.
Kehillath:
From
the hebrew word Kehilla, is a Jewish community, or communal
organization centered around a synagogue, typically with an immersion
pool, a loan society, and a kosher food supervisor. It is also a
quasi-governmental agency.
In Henry Ford and the Jews the author Neil Baldwin says of the
Kehillath:
"the concept of covenanted
community is among the most ancient and revered in Jewish
history. It is found in the traditional national and spiritual Hebrew
phrases for the Jewish people [...] it was incumbent upon Jews to come
together in these, representative ways can be found as far back as "the
process of electing kings in ancient Israel, constituting the Council
of the Four Lands in late-medieval Poland, or forming communities in
the modern United States." The Hebrew root word for this dynamic of
congregating as an organized community; of equals is kahal or kehillah, and any ten male Jews can
create such a self-governing group."
To the editors of the Dearborn
Independent, the imagined machinations transpiring within these kehillot represented a constant source of potential harm to the
surrounding society. Did not the Seventeenth Protocol of the Elders of Zion warn
of this ever-present
possibility, when it spoke of "the obligation to denounce apostates or any person known to
be opposed to the Kahal"? "When our kingdom comes," the
Protocols reputedly said in the oracular voice of imagined rabbis,
"it will be necessary for all subjects to serve the state in a
similar manner..." As defined in the Independent,
"The Kahal is the traditional Jewish political institution during the dispersal of the
race among the nations." As far as the Independent was concerned, the
kehillah of antiquity had now reached the modern iteration in one
dangerous organization, the New York Kehillah. (135)

I admit to being more or less a Fordian. As I am also a collector
of the world's allegedly worst books, I have read "The International
Jew," by Henry Ford, and "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion"
as it was reprinted in Behold
a Pale Horse by William Cooper. To the chagrin of many
readers, I will not go into the merits or demerits of these
writings. But knowledge of their publication serves as backdrop
to this story. Henry Ford held the Kehillath to be a Jewish
Tammany Hall. "The Protocols" are significant as noted by Hannah
Arendt for being an example of the precession of the simulacrum in
politics. Arendt does not use Baudrillard's term "precession of
the simulacrum." She says the fact that a patent forgery is being
believed is more meaningful than the name of its author.
It is in the context of network centric warfare, precession of the
simulacrum (the notion that map takes precedence over territory), and a
war between patent forgers that I found myself in the Kehillath Israel
at 7:30 PM at The David Project's
presentation on Wednesday, 6/20/07
entitled: "Defeating the Islamic Society of Boston's Lawsuit: Why It
Happened and What It Means." I attended this event, navigated the
police presence and metal detectors typical of Jewish Nationalist
functions, collected some free literature, took a seat in the synagogue
portion of the compound, observed the American and Israeli flags being
flown as correct protocol for a political function, listened to the
three speakers and took notes. Afterwards, I met and shook hands
with Charles Jacobs, and Anna Kolodner, and talked to Anna briefly.
I
first
developed an
interest in Charles Jacobs as a subsidiary interest in the
nongovernmental agencies, the Federal Government Corporations, the
eminent domain real estate swindlers, the Massports, the Bechtels, the
Halliburtons, the Carlyle Groups, the political action committees, the
AIPACs, the private intelligence companies, the JINSAs, the mercinary
groups, the Blackwaters, the insurance scams, the FEMAs that I believe
are destroying or have destroyed the United States as a representative
democratic republic, and the Coldwell Bankers, the Bank of America, the
Citigroup, and other federal monopolies that barrage us with junk mail,
triple our fees at the spanish speaking ATM, and generally eliminate
the possibilities of hard working, cash saving family-oriented
Americans from acquiring a home.
As a former resident of Allston, Massachusetts I am familiar with daily
living in a city without a workable transportation system, in a suburb
in the greater metropolittan area with no functional local city hall,
and with absentee landlords in Brookline, Newton, and Belmont
parasitizing neighborhoods and converting two family homes into five
student per floor, four figure rental dormitories with rats, bedbugs,
cooties, illegal extensions, illegal parking lots, convenient to the
sprawling cartel of college properties and liquor stores. I am
familiar with the incompatibility of factory farmed freshmen and
resident Bostonian commuters who jam onto the Green Line or face the
American OPEC cartel's escalating gas prices and Boston's makework
construction debacles to earn that good ole' slip of paper from the ADP
paycheck monopoly that won't pay that Samia Company rent. In
sort, I have enjoyed the world where there is nothing to do but get hit
by a car in between eating at Taco Bell, 7/11, Dunkin Donuts, Hess, and
Store 24. But for my forays into the racial enclaves of Greater
Boston, it is a life bereft of hamentashen (cookies) and gang
warfare. Hence also the pull of Boston's tribal hinterlands.
But I digress.
I used to
talk to
BU's Richard
Landes back during the Divest Israel days. For me this was round
two of the Campus Wars that took place in 1995 which was the year I
graduated from the University of New Hampshire and moved to Boston to
build a rap studio. The short version of the Campus Wars story is
that the FBI hired a member of the terrorist group Jewish Defense
League to coax Quibilah Shabazz (Malcolm X's daughter) into hiring him
as a hit man to kill Louis Farrakhan. Jewish Defense League was
listed as a terrorist organization by Hatewatch after an email campaign
by myself and others forced them to add Zionist terrorists to their
primarily Chiristian, Nazi and Black Hebrew blacklist of targets.
Ultimately, the leader of the ADL, Irv Rubin cut his own throat in
prison having been jailed for pipebomb terrorism and plotting to kill
Republican Congressman Darrell Issa.
Also, Qubilah's son was taken from her custody and placed into the
custody of Malcolm X's widow, Betty Shabazz, whose house he burned in
an act of rage, causing her to die of her wounds. This chaos
initiated by the FBI took place because Betty Shabazz reconciled with
Louis Farrakhan, thereby patching the old rift in the Black Nationalist
community which parted ways with the Jews of the New Left during the
rise of Israel as a nuclear power in the 1960's and 1970s. During
the late 1990's college campuses across the country were rocked by
Afrocentrist vs Hellenic Judeocentrists, and we saw the books (Muslim)
Sheikh
Anton Diop's Stolen Legacy
and Wellesley College (Jewish) Mary Lefkowitz's Not Out
of Africa: How Afrocentrism Became an Excuse to Teach Myth As History. Therein, Diop accuses the
Greeks of stealing Classic civilization from the Egyptians, and
Lefkowitz volleys back by accusing the black (muslims) of being Masons,
and she reattributes to Jews the credit for Greek (read Phonician)
civilization. These books both have merits and demerits that I
will not go into. Lefkowitz duked it out with Ron Karenga (father
of Kwanzaa and the African Menorah) on NPR.
This was the first (but not last) time I had read a Lithuanian or
Eastern European Jewish personality go batshit ballistic against
afro-muslim anything. She was joined by the tritone chorus of
Dinesh D'Souza, and David Horowitz. Dinesh is a Hoover
Institutionalist, that is to say a 2nd worlder who has learned to walk
on his hind legs as a conservative Republican, e.g. the dot Indian
forerunner to Townhall's Michelle Malkin. David Horowitz is a
Left Schachtmanite Communist cum Neoconservative who left the staff of
Ramparts to support Zionism instead of Black Nationalism. He
wrote some hysterical articles comparing prominent east coast rap acts
like Boogie Down Productions (BDP) and Poor Righteous Teachers (PRT) to
the KKK. He also booked a deliberately underspaced publicity tour
against Slavery Reparations which used the BU campus and newspaper
parasitically, by buying a full page in the paper, printing a diatribe
and challenge to come to his debate, allowing major local media into
the debate, and blocking college students and independent journalists
from entering the debate. I myself was ejected from the hall by a
police officer who was acting on behalf of a "bona fide" (read cartel) journalist who did not
recognize me as one of his own.
It was through David Horowitz and his Center For the Study of Popular
Culture which is an academic front organization, that I discovered the
noun "Hasbara."
Like the comedian says "Shalom is Hebrew for aloha," hasbara is Hebrew
for samizdat, which is a soviet infoshop or soviet indymedia
center. A hasbara is a Zionist apologetics organization which
disseminates propaganda on behalf of the constructed and as yet
unconstructed Israel. Having familiarized myself with the many
Hasbaras of the United States, including Townhall.com, Frontpage,
CAMERA, Birthright Israel, and even Radio TKK at Westwood One, I found
not only the network of Zionist propaganda outfits in our midst, but
also the source of many attacks on the hip hop community, the peacenik
community, and the source of impetus behind the tribal war drum urging
us on to Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and other destinations along the Clean
Break Strategy white paper's itinerary of conquest. I came to
Charles Jacobs' name via Benador Associates, of whose list of experts
he inhabits.
The list is:
Frank J.
Gaffney, Alexander
M. Haig, Charles Krauthammer, Michael Ledeen, Richard Perle, Walid
Phares, Richard Pipes, Amir Taheri, and Meyrav Wurmser, in short order,
a laundry list of Townhall and Poynter Institute and American
Enterprise Institute favored Israeli Intelligence agents, one attempted
United States coup member (Haig), various persons with military
industrial conflicts of interest, who advise, budget for, and then sell
the same military weapons to the Pentagon, former Young Socialists, and
one person (Taheri) who seeds the foreign press with false news stories
to agitate the US to go to war with Iran. I covered that
particular story in Star of David Misses Target.
Charles Jacobs
teamed
up with
Curtis Sliwa of the Guardian Angels. The American Anti-Slavery Group of
Boston, is headed by Jacobs and was awarded the Boston Freedom Award by
Coretta Scott King. A fair mind recognizes that slavery is an
abomination. A fair mind also recognizes that apartheid is an
abomination. Jacobs does not believe apartheid exists in Israel,
and repeated this on Wednesday at Kehillath Israel. Nobel
Laureate
Archbishop Desmond Tutu told me in person that it does, and I consider
him an expert on apartheid. Tutu was vehemently denounced, and
denied clearance to travel to Israel on a fact finding mission after
one of Israel's "accidental" shellings of its neighbors which was of
course done with the best of intentions.
Curtis Sliwa is
of
course the red
bereted kook who threatens to send his red clad ninja army into Boston
whenever Jewish girls get shot by stray bullets at Dorchester
afterparties. I have spoken with three Haters Mag staff partners,
all African American, who think that gang violence and anti-gang
violence, drug killing and
policing of Inner Boston blacks by Lower New York whites and Jews are a
bad thing. Personally, I think kids should be in college and high
school, not standing around the T station in Masonic McDonaldland Kung
Fu uniforms. Thus do I stablish and amplify the Bostonian's
impression of New York's self-promoting socialist and zionist watchdog
organizations, and the derision and suspicion with which they and their
press releases to the Globe, Herald, and Metro are viewed.
Dr. Jacobs'
endorsement by
Coretta Scott King notwithstanding, my impression is that Dr. Jacobs'
principal interest in that organization is in destabilizing the Islamic
dictator and Janjaweed of Sudan. This is also not a bad
thing. We Americans are in principle opposed to dictatorship,
mass slaughter of innocents by renegade marauders, religious
fundamentalism, and slavery. I say "in principle." And by
"we Americans" I of course mean also we
who abolished slavery, or more accurately, we whose ancestors
abolished slavery, we whose ancestors fought for the Union, we Freedom
Riders, etc. I do not mean "we Social Gospelites, we inheritors
of the Permanent French Revolution, or we Neoconservative
Trotskyists." That optimistic clarification being made, I permit
myself the cynical observation that Dr. Jacobs is more interested in
destabilizing Muslim institutions than he is in freeing slaves or
judging media fairness. I am also convinced by reading the
prolific information released under the FOIA that the FBI killed Martin
Luther King and Malcolm X with the help of white and Jewish nationalists and some
street recruited black scumbags. This is of course my "conspiracy
theory" and of course I am a crackpot myself for suggesting this.
Nevertheless I reside in a country which sent weapons and money to the
Taliban, nukes to Iran via Israel, shook hands with Saddam Hussain,
invited him to invade Kuwait, and then waged wholesale warfare on the
Middle East. Crackpot I, from a nation of crackpots.
Due to my era
of
birth and my
education, I saw the construction of an Orthodox Muslim Mosque on
Malcolm X Boulevard, Roxbury as the most interesting development since
the black helicopters chased people down Malcolm X Boulevard in New
York at a Khallid Muhammad Rally in '08/09. Islamic Society of
Boston (ISB) has a Cambridge mini-mosque near my DJ's house in North
Cambridge. My friend Biggah who collaborated on my solo album
converted to Islam from a loosely observed Hip Hop / Five Percent
Nation of Islam. We have discussed the potential merits and
demerits of having the biggest mosque in the United States pop up in
our fair city. We of course took amused interest when a prominent
Jewish group took immediate actions to prevent this house of worship
from being constructed. Long have we conversed and reasoned about
the philosophies and religions within Hip Hop and of Hip Hop's
detractors. We had discussed D'Souza, Lefkowitz, and Horowitz
before. We have discussed Abe Foxman's, Time and Newsweek's
rivalry with Louis Farrakhan, the shutdown of the Arsenio Hall Show,
and Newsweek's hatred of Hip Hop and
Snoop Dogg.
I am the
atheist of
our crew, but
also the one who goes the deepest into the motives associations and
affiliations of people and organizations within, tangental to, and
adversarial to Hip Hop. Though I disagree with various odd
statements of Wise Intelligent of PRT, I took his words seriously when
he called for the need for a counter-Cointelpro force within Hip
Hop. As T-Nyne, Game, Biggah, RPMC and I laid the foundations of
Haters Magazine, we stressed the need to integrate rap music with rap
photography, rap politics, and rap intelligence. In these
respects we witnessed the founding and collapse of The Source, the rise
and fall of certain emcees, the tenuous rise and fall of local rap
radio stations, and the coming and going of political and religious
influences in the ultra East Coast rap scene. As a current
function of our exercise we have pushed into many realms of Boston, and
also stepped on the toes of Davey D, Landspeed Records, Metro Concepts,
What's Up
Magazine, Boston Indymedia Center, all local activist groups and
cockblockers, and are now tapping the toe of Jewish Nationalist groups
who have designs on Cambridge, Boston, and Roxbury real estate.
Thus was I at
the
David Project's
info session at KI, understanding it to be an afterparty and planning
session for the next round of media warfare in which the Clean Break
Zionists would spin their Goliath of organizations into a David, gnash
teeth, and make boasts over the Philistine giant that they had slain
with the help of pro-bono lawyers, and that paragon of papers, the
Boston Herald. I did find a more subdued event than I expected,
certainly not in sync with a Dearborn
Independent's image of a dungeon of depravity, machination, and
moneylending. I was moved, slightly, by speaker Ahmed Mansour's
statements that 1) "You cannot fight a war of ideas as a Jew, a
Christian, or a Muslim." 2) "I defend Israel because I love Egypt and I
love my religion. The enemy of Islam is not the Jews, it is the
Muslim Brotherhood and the Wahabbists." and 3) "Once you would kill a
civilian in the next camp, you would kill a civilian in your own camp
the next day." I was impressed by Mr. Mansour's holding of ideas
and freedom above religious fundamentalism. I was not moved to
the point of believing that fat oil sultans in Saudi Arabia do not
inspire people to kill them. Mr. Mansour did not claim this, but
it is part and parcel to believing that Muslim Brotherhood, Wahabbists,
Hamas, and Hezbollah have no context within the solpisistic world of
Judaism and oil mining.
I was moved by
the
humorous
points of David Project's pro-bono lawyer Jeffrey Robbins'
presentation in which he shows a significant portion of Islamic Society
of Boston's Mosque trusteeship to be vocal supporters of Hamas and
Hezbollah. It is no surprise, considering that in this effed up system
of college and municipal patronage that any new house of worship would
most likely be built on a college campus, and involve a conflict of
interest with The Boston Redevelopment Authority or Mumbles Menino
(kind father of our Hip Hop Peace and Unity Festival, and the mission
to abolish the Second Amendment for residents of Massachusetts) and be
opposed by another house of worship with contrary beliefs and
competing expertise in real estate manipulation. I am fair minded
enough to believe that ISB's bluff was called in court, and that David
Project therefore won the battle but lost the war to prevent Muslims
from having infrastructure in the same city that Jews have
infrastructure. As an atheist, I find the whole thing
amusing. I would not go so far as to support Robbin's contention
that Al Qaeda would more or less run the Gate of Roxbury as a Saudi
Arabian absentee landlord. I was also amused at pro-bono Robbin's
admitted attempt to bill court his costs to ISB -- almost as amused as
when Larry Silverstein tried to double collect on the WTC
collapse. This is Boston, after all, so the humor like
everything, is on a 1/5 smaller scale than New York.
Charles Jacobs'
portion of the
presentation was smooth and swift. He got off the word "Nazi"
three times in the first two minutes of his opening remarks. He
brought to my attention the "New Antisemitism" which is always
upsurging like the "Good news" of Christ's ressurrection. He
brought my attention to a danger which had completely escaped my
radar until Wednesday: The Problem of Anti-Semitic Crossword Puzzles In
Muslim Mosques. I have to admit, that that could be the most
serious threat to humanity since the spread of Sudoku. I was
amused by the rage poured out in measured tones against Jimmy Carter,
who on top of failing to mitigate OPEC's retaliation for our financial
and military patronage of Israel also had the nerve (Chutzpah?) to
write a book which is "a curse against Jews displayed in the front
window of the bookstore." Is a Jewish Kristallnacht coming?
I doubt it. People in glass houses, and all. Kehillath
Israel is a glass house with one book across the street from Barnes and
Noble, another glass house with many books, but without the delightful
window engravings. I believe both are here to stay.
I was put off
by a
few
things. Nothing major, mere matters of aesthetics. I
thought the decor of KI was lacking in geometric complexity. The
voice of the Rabbi was irritatingly effeminate, and his use of the
Torah to equate defense of Zion with an implicit duty to defend
Zionism, which of course means extend
Zionism I found particularly vomitorious, but as my pal Isaac Bresnick
would say "You went there voluntarily, buddy" which is true. You don't
go to a house of worship if you don't expressly want to hear what
sounds like gay epileptic hermaphrodites on hallucinogens speaking of
bondage, and I do. Dr.
Jacobs also stressed thrice that Muslims were out to kill homosexuals
and women, which made for amusing anecdotes. Skipping back to some
other random comments, my Allstonian renter's mind thought "Anna
Kolodner daughter of Holocaust Survivors" was funny when the speaker
appended it to the "bedbug of the ISB." This makes me think that
Dan the Bagelman Kontoff might have a few words with her, and they
might cancel one another out. The lawyer quoting Borat was also
just not funny. But I am biased against the Ali G. Show as I have
a long standing hatred of schtick rappers.
I am
unaccustomed to
seeing
national flags in a house of worship, believing them to belong on gas
stations and car dealerships, but hey, I am no Jehovah's Witness and I
know how to fold a flag. They saved money on function halls, and
created a congregational atmosphere for the event. The air
conditioning was also delightful.
The meeting ran
from
7:30 to 9:45
with a few hundred people in attendance. A special shout out to
the Jewish Lauryn Hill who sat in the row in front of me with her
blinged out wristwatch, her japanese hornrim glasses, and who raised
her hand when they asked if anyone had been to a David Project event
before. I had to fold down my tray. I was also surprised,
but Anna Kolodner looked a fair deal prettier than the CNN screenshot
that the uberkook PF Soto is running on her Rule19.org "Zionist Spies"
webpage. PF Soto is damaged goods along with Karin
Friedemann.*
Friedemann who although generously released to the entire public
(including an [unsolicited] reprint by David Duke) the discovery emails
of David
Project's campaign against ISB also bombarded the hell out of my email
and invited me to join her newsgroup of her Joachim Martillo styled
Islamic-Converso rants. She also rolls too closely with David
Rolde who is Belmont MA's overweight self-avowed Hamas and Hezbollah
supporter within the Massachusetts Green Party.
The discovery
emails
show that
The David Project was really all about taking down the ISB using any
and every means available. Charles Jacobs furthered this point at
KI by saying that only the ISB was targetted, and that he has no
interest in wholesale investigations of every new house of worship
built in Boston, only those believed to be sponsored by Saudi
Arabia. You know, the place where Mecca is. If I were to
construct a media lobby group with pro-bono lawyers, college shell
organizations, and assail the next new Boston Kehillath and Synagogue
on the basis that it is sponsored by Israeli Extremists, known
supporters of Irgun and Betar, I would of course have lots of luck,
well wishing, and the peace love and understanding of the local
community.
A few
observations
bear
mentioning on the subject of real estate.
Citizens for
Peace
and Tolerance
draws its authority from the fact that Dennis Hale is a Boston College
professor of history. I find his additional title, Episcopal
Political Science
Professor to be repellent. I am not so Fordian as to say that "History
is
more or less the bunk," but I am no Hegelian. I am also less
inclined to "feel authority" as it emanates from a shell organization
of a Hasbara pointed to as an independently existing other by its
parent. BU
has its tenured haters of Hip Hop, Nietzsche, and Capitalism, as well
as its espousers of Jesuitism and Social Gospel, and its grand
abutment of Archdiocesal lands which the rest of us humbly refer to as
The Neverland Ranch of Boston. BC is part of the college
industrial complex, and its course teachers ranging from Brookings
Institutionalists to Indymedia Boston refugees. The common view
is that at one time or another some college or other is going to
consume one neighborhood or another. So, this point of authority
is somewhat skewed.
I was also
repelled
by the fact
that The David Project syndicated (for lack of a better word) its story
to CBN, the Christian Broadcasting Network. Raise your hands if
there are any Pat Robertson / 700 Club fans out there. I thought
not. I would sooner join Tekiah, the coalition of "non-extremist,
less fanatical Jews," to use a AIPAC / JINSA turn of phrase.
Tekiah although opposed to Muslim terrorism, is also opposed to a
church of one religious group attacking the First Amendment of another
religious group. I submit, to invert Frank Gaffney,
Gerald Posner, Charles Krauthammer and Co., that we freedom-loving
Americans should disfavor this more extremist, tribalist, and religious
fanatical type of Jew in favor of the more moderate, more well behaved,
and less lunatic form of Ultranationalist Jew -- if I may pour on to
excess the full measure of the accepted jingoism. Returning to
the issue of Pat Robertson, his Christian theme park and hotel chain in
Israel is of course the the most secular-hell-earning thing since the
PTL Club's amusement park. Christian Zionists and their partners,
British Israelists belong down the swirling toilet of neo-nazism.
Charles Jacobs should not cling to them too tightly as they swirl on
down.
Changing
tracks, real
estate
divestiture is a
strange horse to ride. Without going into it, Joe Curtatone who
tried to extort homeland security for funds during the DNC, and who has
Israel junkets waved in his face by Christmas-Hating mall builders is
poised to be the McGreevey of Somerville. His continued
opposition to Israeli Divestiture notwithstanding, divestiture has
metamorphosed into something Rachel Fish (of DP) does against Harvard's
Muslim contributors, and Save Darfur does against anyone holding stocks
which relate in any way to Sudan. Divestiture is now the weapon
of pro-Israeli nationalists, in a spectacular yet equally dubious and
cynically organized moral posture. Again, the core targets are
absentee landlords but of the most immense caliber and degree of
corruption. So corrupt. How corrupt? Corrupt enough
to sell a Business School to Schachtmanite Jeane Kirkpatrick's elbow
rubber, B.U.s John Silber shortly before he and Billy Bulger are ousted
with massive severance packages, and Rafik Hariri is assassinated with
C4. Ah, college.
If anything
consoles,
it is the
wise words of David Project member, Tal Ben-Shahar: "How to be happy?
Give yourself permission to be human." I am sure I do. I
even give other people of other races and religions permission to be
human, and I hope you do to.
And get your
facts
straight
before you write anything.
The
Boston Globe's version of the facts are that Anna Kolodner and
Monty Gold own at least six $4,000 per unit college ghetto units in
Mission Hill, one of which caught on fire and burned due to gross
negligence and lack of maintenance. Monty Gold's version of the
facts is that he doesn't own buildings in Mission Park (though his name
is on them), and Anna's version of the facts is that "the residents of
those buildings were lucky we maintained them as diligently as we did,
for the students were in the habit of destroying the place and tearing
out the smoke detectors. I am known as a good landlord by my tenants.
The Globe article is spurious." I am in no position to pass
verdict on which are the good facts in that matter. The first
item that pops up in a Google search of Anna Kolodner is a .pdf
wherein she and Monty Gold appear as defendants in a mansion contractor
deal gone awry. The contractors are proven to be wrong, but
Kolodner and Gold's real estate expertise is bolstered. Anna's
version of the facts is that "Monty Gold has nothing to do with this
[meaning the David Project]" but the discovery
emails in the ISB case
show that when Anna was trying to find a (shill) plaintiff to
"independently" sue ISB over church and state and/or zoning issues or
any issues that would stick, she offered "my husband Monty Gold is
willing to be part of a group of plaintiffs [...] Filing the lawsuit
will be the initial lead/newsworthy component of the angles."
The
facts impress me as good facts. But what of the terminology? Anna
counsels me that "the term absentee landlord implies a great deal of
bad things, and I would not like to be lumped in with them.
Generally it is the case that most real estate in Boston is not owned
by people who live there." To which I replied, "Indeed. And yet
because of the fact that the majority of Dr. Jacobs and Mr. Robbin's
presentations hinge on the fact that the ISB is owned by absentee
landlords with little or no consideration for our laws, communities, or
well being, and who might in their heart of hearts hate us, sharp minds
would contrast this with the ethics of the David Project."
"The David
Project
does not own
property," Anna said. And I said "No, but the way in which its
members administrate property could impugn its reputation and the case
it wishes to make against the ISB."
I shall not say
that
it
does. And as Charles Jacobs will note, I shall not say that it
does not. I do believe that the way Benador, Save Darfur, and
other Hasbaras use the media
does impugn The David Project as project-du-jour in the media. Since we are all
playing the same game and describing what could be construed, if we in fact actually believed the garbage that
we write for public consumption, we are in the postion selecting the
goodness of our facts based upon the degree in which they bend people
to our will, and we appear as their benefactors.

I was wondering if you could explain to me
what
you mean by "damaged goods"? As far as I know, you have never met me.
David Duke has posted the writings of Walt and Mearshimer as well as
Norman Finkelstein so I doubt that is the source of the taint... could
you be referring to the JCRC anti-divestment website, which tells some
interesting tall tales about me, but is utter bulllshit written by
someone who has never met me? Joachim Martillo has occasionally been
posted on WVNS but not that often. WVNS does not post any conversation
or rants at all... essays/articles only as a rule. I have never met PF,
I do know David. But I rarely attend a protest since I am home with my
children aged 10 months to 8 years. So I'm sure you weren't referring
to my chastity with your unflattering reference. There is someone
who has known me since childhood, that is Josh Meisler of Joint Chiefs.
I don't think he likes me, since I'm friends with his ex-wife, but he
can tell you whatever you want to know, so you can stop speculating.
Maybe you can make me some kind of dance mix CD for me to listen to
while I'm stirring the spaghetti sauce, to make up for your uncouth
mouth.
Best,

Regarding Darfur,
If you are against David Rolde's statement - ie you support an
Iraq-style military occupation and sanctions regime on Sudan, it means
you are FOR the deliberate starvation of Africans, and AGAINST respect
for the sovereignity of African nations - ie you think it's cool for US
neocon corporations to steal Sudan's oil.
Only Zionist propagandists accuse Sudan of genocide. It's a PR campaign
concocted by Charles Jacobs. You are I guess willfully ignorant, since
you
refused to respect my kind invitations to educate you.

Karin Friedemann objects strenuously to being portrayed as an
Islamicist fanatic and insists that various fanatics syndicating some
of her more terse writings are doing so without her solicitation.
I accept this at face value. However, her second letter is
patently ridiculous. Not only is David Rolde a serious kook, his
public activity mars any statements of fact that he may make on various
occasion when he is not dressed in a burqa holding up Hezbollah and
Hamas placards.
Karin seems to have no conception that Islamic brigands ever starve
Africans or compromise their self-rule. It is not true that only
Zionist propagandists accuse Sudan of genocide. It is also not
true that all anti-zionist jews have the same knee jerk opinion in
favor of the Janjaweed. My article on its face indicates that I
do not concede to Charles Jacobs' propaganda campaign. I am at times willfully ignorant to
the convoluted and patronizing expressions of wiggerdom including that
of the NECDP, but this is because I take a strong stance against
brainwashing, and do not believe in the Zionist Friend-Enemy
Matrix. One is not automatically for Right Schactmanites if one
is against Left Schachtmanites.
