Open Minded Realism

This video is a compilation of brief snippets of video footage of celebrating Palestinians that was broadcast in the US media on September 11, 2001.  Much more footage has been suppressed by the AP, as explained in this article.

The following information has been summarized from this Gateway Pundit article: 

The AP has been shown to have suppressed video taken by a freelance AP reporter showing  widespread jubilant celebrations by thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank on September 11, 2001, cheering the al Qaeda attacks that occurred in the United States on that day.

A 2015 New York Post article  by former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman explains how the video was suppressed by the AP after the cameraman and news organization were threatened by Palestinian terrorists.  Brief videos of smaller celebrations by Palestinians did get broadcast in the US media on 9/11 and have been compiled in the video that is posted on the top of this article.

Footage that is still suppressed supposedly shows thousands of jubilant Palestinians taking to the streets, chanting “Allah akbar,” firing automatic weapons and handing out candy to passers-by, with the largest demonstration taking place in Nablus in the West Bank where as many as 3,000 people danced and cheered.

Foreign journalists were in the area but they were forcibly detained in a hotel by Palestinian security forces to prevent them from documenting the rally, however one cameraman who was a freelance AP reporter managed to film some of the celebrations.

The next day, members of Tanzim, the military arm of Fatah, threatened the cameraman with death if the AP aired the material he recorded, telling them they could not “guarantee his life” if he did so.

The AP bureau chief in Jerusalem acknowledged the intimidation and refused to release of the footage citing safety reasons.  The footage remains inaccessible to this day.

Litman laments, “… whatever exigency it could point to in 2001 cannot justify a permanent gap in the documentary account of the worst domestic attack in US history.  These searing images belong in the public record, not in the closed video vault of a cowed news agency.”

The following is summarized from a Breitbart article: 

A German NGO in Brussels is trying to establish allowing Migrants to come to Europe via passenger airlines to prevent harm from coming to them on their treks to the continent.

The group is trying to circumvent airline regulations which don’t allow migrants to fly due to complications arising from asylum seekers being rejected, where airlines are currently fined $3,000 for each brought in and bare the responsibility of returning them, which is a process that can cost as much as $50,000 per migrant.

Article: “North African migration has largely been the driver of the current migrant crisis and many, including the Libyan Prime Minister have warned that the Islamic State is infiltrating the migrants.  To some, given their vast funding, the group may easily be able to take advantage of easy flights and access to Europe through the ‘Let’s fly To Europe’ program.”

An article recently published by Bloomberg News explains that American businesses are being forced to change their business practices out of fear of lawsuits for religious discrimination.  The article explains that while only 1 percent of the U.S. population is Muslim, 40 percent of religion-based workplace complaints filed in 2015 were Islam related.

It has been a growing trend that Muslims bring lawsuits against their employers for not accommodating all of their religious idiosyncrasies, often being facilitated through the help of the CAIR organization that advertises such legal services to Muslims.

The council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a Muslim advocacy group in the United States that is known for its political activism among Muslims in America, having an innocuous facade while also being notorious for its connections to Muslim extremism and terrorist groups.

The website  http://www.anti-cair-net.org/  is a website documenting issues with the organization.

Following is a list of many lawsuits that have been recently brought by Muslims against their employers:

A Jury in Illinois awarded two Muslim Somalian truckers $240,000 in a lawsuit for being fired for refusing to transport alcohol for their trucking company. — video

A former Cosco employee is suing the company for religious discrimination due to the fact that he was reassigned to gather carts in the parking lot because he refused to touch pork products when working as a cashier. — link

A Muslim special education teacher sued the Newark Board of Education, the former Newark Central High Principal, and the current Newark Mayor Ras Baraka for religious discrimination and harassment because he was denied his request for religious accommodation allowing him to attend a religious service every Friday afternoon which led to him resigning his position in 2012. — link

A Muslim schoolteacher in Illinois requested an unpaid three-week absence so she could make a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, but her request was denied.  So she submitted a letter of resignation, taught students until her scheduled departure, and then later sued the school district for religious discrimination.  In the settlement she received $75,000 compensation and mandated that all members of the board of education are required to receive mandatory training on Muslim religious issues. — link and link

A Woman at an Amway plant in Michigan was told she couldn’t wear her hijab for safety reasons upon starting her new factory job, so they moved her to another department but with less working hours, leading to her quitting the job.  She then sued using CAIR when the company didn’t find her another full time position despite the fact that head coverings were banned in the employee handbook. — link

A Muslim flight attendant is suing ExpressJet using CAIR for their insisting that she serves alcohol. — link

A woman started wearing a hijab on the third day of her job as a dental assistant in Virginia and was told that she is not allowed to wear it, so she is filing a lawsuit using CAIR (which the dentist is fighting.) — link

A Denver federal jury ruled AGAINST Muslim employees who sued Jetstream Ground Services for not allowing Islamic clothing to be worn on the job. — link

CAIR sued for 21 Somali Muslim employees in Minnesota who were fired for taking unscheduled prayer breaks throughout the day, demanding that they be reinstated with back pay. — link

A Syrian former attorney for Apple Computers is suing the company because they refused to print Arabic on his business cards, refused to re-schedule weekly meetings with his supervisor so he could attend Friday prayers, and they supposedly told him he was not “culturally fit.”  He was fired because he showed a confidential prototype of an iWatch to family and friends. — link

CAIR is suing a Wisconsin company named Ariens on behalf of 21 Muslim employees who lost their jobs over taking unscheduled prayer breaks in addition to the breaks that were already scheduled for them. — VIDEO

200 Somalian Muslims in Colorado that walked off the job at a meat packing plant had been fired over demands of having special prayer rooms and being allowed to stop working and pray several times a day.  CAIR is filing a lawsuit on their behalf. — VIDEO

CAIR is demanding that the Columbus, Ohio Police Department allow Muslims to wear hijabs on duty. — VIDEO

A Sunni Muslim applicant for a children’s day care position in Britain lost her legal battle to wear a head-to-toe jilbab after she decided to try to sue the company on the first day for religious discrimination and “being insulted” because they asked her to wear a slightly shorter jilbab that did not extend over her feet. — link

CAIR reached a confidential settlement against the DHL shipping company in Ohio on behalf of 23 Muslim workers who were fired for taking unauthorized breaks after the company reversed a policy that allowed flexible break times for workers pray. — link 

Three Muslim women have sued the Abercrombie & Finch clothing store on three different occasions with the help of CAIR for being terminated for wearing Hijabs that went against its dress code. — link, link, and link

CAIR helped a man in Ohio file a lawsuit against the company he worked at because he quit his job due to his permissions being revoked to have Fridays off to attend religious services. — link

CAIR is helping a group of 18 Muslims in Ohio who were fired by a DHL subsidiary sue for refusing to allow break times which corresponded with their payer schedules. — link

A Somali Muslim’s long flowing Burka got caught in a boot washer at a bakery in Minnesota, so new shorter length Burka guidelines were established, which prompted 30 Somali Muslims to walk off of the job, bringing the intervention of CAIR which had the workers reinstated despite the safety issue. — VIDEO

A Muslim cashier in France sued the Supermarket she worked at because she was not permitted to wear a hijab, and was awarded 10,000 Euros.  She initially worked without wearing the hijab and left the job to have children, then started wearing it upon returning to her job knowing that it was not permitted as a company policy.  “This decision gives back her dignity” said her lawyer. — link

In 2016 I wrote an article on this website entitled “A CNN article labeled Donald Trump as a white nationalist, interviewing numerous Establishment Controlled bigots such as David Duke who claim they love Breitbart’s Steve Bannon,” which detailed a CNN article that interviewed various white supremacists who said that they love Breitbart’s Steve Bannon, and the article also accused Brietbart of publishing anti-Semitic articles (which it does not).

In my article I mentioned that David Duke is “controlled by the political Establishment,” however I don’t actually have specific proof of that in his particular case, so I want to issue a retraction about that.

However, it is proven that white supremacist groups are often infiltrated by the political Establishment, such as in programs like COINTELPRO. People who are opposed to racism and bigotry often think that it is a good thing that such groups are infiltrated, however the truth is that the infiltration is actually meant to create racism and division to further Establishment agendas rather than to put a stop it. I’ve seen documentaries and other information about the topic, I will create a specific article about that in the near future.

Also in the article I said that the “alt-right” movement is not necessarily racist, however the “alt-right” movement should now be considered to be associated with white supremacist groups, but the reason for that is the fact that it has been infiltrated by the political Establishment in order to pollute it to neutralize its effectiveness. The Establishment does not want any effective movement that stands up to its agendas to have a “label,” so when one does arise they put many resources into infiltrating it.

I’ve found a lot of important information in Henry Makow’s website and books, but sometimes there is also what I call “clunker information” mixed in with it, and sometimes it can make me concerned about his information that I have summarized on NOITV.

Usually Makow makes appropriate distinctions with his information, but sometimes I think he goes overboard when criticizing Judaism, such as in this recent article on his website called “America’s Enemy is Talmudism, not Islam.”

The article talks about “Jews” being culpable for the 9/11 attacks, but I think it is ultimately the global Masonic banking elite who are most responsible, not “the Jews” as the article claims.  It is true that many of the global elite are Jewish, but that doesn’t make “Jews” responsible.  People from all religions (and people who only claim to be from certain religions) were involved, including from Islam.  For example George Bush and Dick Cheney aren’t Jewish, and much evidence points to them being involved.  I think it would be much more fair and accurate to generalize about Freemasonry’s culpability in the attacks, although with the way the organization is compartmentalized it would certainly block all but the highest ranking members from knowing anything about it.

What’s worse, the article even includes an image of a “shifty Jew” stereotype!—  Which is something that I’ve never seen on his website before.

Also the article tries to be an apologist for Islam.  Islam is an ideology of horrible subjugation and repression, where unlike in Judaism or Christianity, conformity to every aspect of the religion is very often strictly enforced with intimidation and violence, such as in the many Islamic countries where Muslims are executed simply for trying to leave the religion (apostasy)!  Interestingly though, Islam is actually covertly controlled by the global elite, as Makow’s site explains, and they make use of it as an unwitting tool for their subjugation of the world to help usher in their totalitarian New World Order.  I wouldn’t doubt that the death penalty for apostasy is enforced at the instructions of the global elite who covertly control the Islamic governments.

Of course I think Makow has the right to publish whatever he wants, although I’m sure articles like the one I’m criticizing here are very upsetting to people.  I think it is possible that he feels that he “needs” to publish such articles now and then for his personal safety because he talks about sensitive information that the political Establishment doesn’t want to be known.  I’m sure he has the assumption that his readers are astute enough to be able to read between the lines in those cases.  In any event I know for certain that he doesn’t actually have the mentality to seriously post such an image.  He is Jewish himself, actually.

I’ve learned a lot of important information from Henry Makow’s website and books, but I don’t always agree with his approach or everything that he says.   I generally think he is too pro-Islam and his approach with criticizing Judaism and Israel is often done in a manner that can be needlessly off-putting to readers, however I think that he has the right to say whatever he wants to say on his website, of course.

I know a lot of nice Jewish people, so sometimes I feel uncomfortable when I read some of Makow’s articles.   I think there are a lot of issues with the Israeli government, but ultimately Israel is controlled by the Illuminati global elite just as all governments are, and I think the Illuminati in fact depends on people thinking that Israel and Judaism is supposedly some sort of an ultimate source of corruption in order for the Illuminati to throw blame off of themselves and stifle criticism, because it generally is not PC to criticize Judaism.

I think the most significant causes of problems in the world are the Masonic global banking elite and Islam— with Islam being covertly controlled by the global elite as a tool for subjugating and controlling the populations of the world.   Many of the Masonic elite are Jewish, but it is not a “Jewish” conspiracy; however they need people to think that it is a Jewish conspiracy in order for them to avoid significant exposure.

I think the spread of Islam is mostly empowered by people not knowing the truth about it due to being “well-meaning” and not willing to look at or even consider criticism of the ideology.  In my own case, I was very naive about Islam for many years, where I realized that it had a lot of issues, but I thought that they were only “cultural remnants” which would soon dissipate, not realizing that Islam’s issues are at the core of its ideology and are reinforced by extreme intimidation and violence often including even the death penalty; which makes it entirely unlike any of the other major religions of the world.

An article that explains many surprising and disturbing issues with Islam is here.   Until shortly before I wrote the article, I was mostly unaware of most of the points that the article makes, and I think many other people are also unaware of those facts as well.

It’s strange to hear that Amazon has decided not to locate its headquarters in New York City after all, even after doing so was supposedly decided upon.  Those employees would have loved living there, especially while making average salaries of $150k a year!  Of course those are very substantial salaries, even for New York City.

The fact that some politicians were complaining about Amazon’s move to New York was cited by Amazon as their reason for deciding not to go through with it, but really it was mostly just a few inconsequential politicians who were actually opposed to it.  For example the leftist extremist Ocasio-Cortez was loudly complaining about tax breaks being offered to the company to relocate there, despite the fact that the company would have brought huge tax revenues to the city nonetheless.

I lived in the Sunnyside neighborhood next to Long Island City in Queens for a while.  It is a great area that is adjacent to midtown Manhattan.  I’ve heard that there was an apartment buying frenzy in Long Island City immediately after the announcement that Amazon was going to move there.  I’m sure that some people who put their apartments on the market at just that moment got premium prices for them.  And some people who bought apartments hoping to cash in on Amazon might be regretting it a bit now, although that is hardly a bad location to own real estate.

In any event, the idea that Amazon moving to Long Island City would have “gentrified” it as Ocasio-Cortez was claiming is ridiculous— that area has already been “gentrified” many decades ago, it is right in the heart of New York City!  Rent controls are already in place, so what would the problem have been?

A view from Sunnyside, Queens in a video that I made from my rooftop in 2001.  Manhattan looks rather far away in the video, but that is its southern tip.

.. Midtown Manhattan is actually much closer to where I was.  This is a stock photo, but it is pretty much exactly the view that I had from the rooftop of my building.  I was situated where I could see almost every bridge on the East River from that viewpoint, especially at night.  See a detail of the image.

Yesterday I saw parts of a World War II documentary entitled “The Price of Empire” which was annoyingly loaded with Establishment disinformation, as most such documentaries are.  Its narrative was seemingly taken verbatim from Establishment news that was disseminated in newsreels and printed on the front pages of the newspapers at the time, with the information also being infused with modern Establishment propaganda agendas.

As example of its bias, when the documentary introduced the rise of Nazism in the first episode, it claimed: “A new populist party OF THE RIGHT [emphasis mine] that had secured 2.5% of the vote previously, found its share jumping to 18.3% in 1930.  The National Socialists are suddenly a serious political force.”  But their claim that Nazis were “right wing” is not accurate, Nazis were LEFTISTS (socialists), not right-wingers.  All of the most dangerous political movements in history have been left wing, including Neocons like the Bush family who are actually hard core leftists (and also Nazis) that pretend to be “right wing” so they can get away with it.  See the video “Overview of America” for an explanation of the true meaning of “left wing” and “right wing.”

Another example of the documentary’s deceptive intent is in the episode entitled “A Day in Infamy,” where it gives a common Establishment narrative about the Pearl Harbor attacks that conceals the evidence showing that the United States facilitated the Japanese attack at the instructions of the global elite.  (You can gauge a lot about the overall approach of any World War II documentary by first finding what it says about this event.)  The documentary makes the ridiculous statement: “Japan did not want to wage war against the United States.  Japan knew that it could never win such a war.  What Japan wanted was to nullify American power for long enough to enable it to grab such a strong bargaining position that it would walk enriched from peace talks.  That meant a preemptive strike designed to keep Americans out of the Japanese theater of operations.”

Interestingly though, the documentary makers apparently felt that they had no choice but to mention the fact that the commander of the U.S. fleet Admiral Kimmel and the army commander General Walter Short were publicly held responsible for the Pearl Harbor attack in a board of inquiry shortly after the attack, but  were then exonerated after their deaths in 1999 “when a congressional committee found that intelligence reports that were available in Washington has not been forwarded to the two men..”  However, the documentary makers seemed to do all that they could to try to insert that information in as brief of an aside as possible to make it seem as if it was an inconsequential aspect of the event, without mentioning the ramifications of it or any of the other facts associated with that matter.

A New American article by James Perloff entitled “Pearl Harbor: Hawaii Was Surprised; FDR Was Not” is an excellent explanation of the deceit associated with the attack.  Also see a summary of a book written by Perloff entitled “The Shadows of Power” which explains that situation and many other similar little known facts about the actual activities of the global elite.  (The book was first published in 1988, eleven years before Kimmel and Short were exonerated in Congress.)

(The documentary did mention something that I didn’t know before though— the fact that most of the ships that were attacked at Pearl Harbor were docked in very shallow water so they didn’t actually “sink,” which allowed them to be quickly repaired and put back into action.  Wikipedia says “All eight U.S. Navy battleships were damaged, with four sunk.  All but the USS Arizona were later raised, and six were returned to service and went on to fight in the war…”)

I see that Bette Midler is advocating for the lynching of Donald Trump and his family on Twitter.

Remember though that Trump was a part of the entertainment industry world before he was President, and he and Midler (and Robert De Niro, etc..) are likely actually friends and the supposed “persecution” of him by such celebrities is essentially a scam give him credibility in the eyes of his supporters.

[Note: March 9, 2020— I’m critical of Trump, however I do think that he is very preferable to what a Hillary Clinton administration would have meant.  Nonetheless I think it is important to call him out on issues where he is not actually doing what he has promised to do.]

[Another Note: March 13, 2020— Actually Trump isn’t that great at all!  Hillary would have been horrible, but Trump is bad too.  His “job” for the political Establishment is to play a role of making right wing and anti-Establishment views seem bigoted and unworkable, while actually implementing as little of his promises as possible.  He’s done some  bad things, with one of the worst being his endorsement of the Hitler-like Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte who urges the extra-judicial killings of suspected drug dealers.]

[March 9, 2020— I have re-written this article.]

I saw this news article with a video about a housing boom in Boulder, Colorado.  I grew up in a suburb twenty miles to the east of Boulder where there was mostly empty prairie filling the space between the two areas.  Needless to say there isn’t much empty prairie there any more.  I’m surprised to read about the huge increase in the of value of the houses, although Boulder has always been a fancy area though.

I think it’s strange that they say there is such a supposed housing “shortage” though..  All of the right half of Colorado to the east of Boulder and the Rocky Mountains is flat with mostly just prairie and wheat fields, so what is stopping people from continuing to build outward?  They could easily build fast trains going into the urban areas from such outlying areas.

The video clip shows a Boulder councilwoman actually complaining about the city being too affluent!  I think it’s ridiculous to be complaining about that.  Ask cities in the rust belt or much of the rest of the country what they think of that “problem”!  My point is that there is unlimited space to expand outward to the east, so it only means that there would be an easy commute into the city for lower income residents— So what’s the big deal?  The video falsely claims that “there isn’t any room to expand” while showing clips of driving in the mountains— but they don’t mention the unlimited expanse of prairie to the East.  So why not just keep expanding outward?—   The answer is because doing so wouldn’t let them implement their leftist agendas as easily.
