Today, two thought-provoking items:
Bob Djurdjevic, editor of Truth in Media, sent me this little item, among many. It shows just how closely the New World Order types are aligned with Communism - past and present:
* Title: Lenin Stamp to Be Issued in Belgium
BRUSSELS, Nov. 24 - Remember the Cold War movie, "The Russians Are Coming?" Well, communism may have come and gone in Russia, but it is rearing its ugly head in the West, from where it had been exported into Russia anyway.
Last week, we received several letters from agitated TiM readers in Belgium, the country which is the seat of both the European Union and NATO. The reason for our readers' alarm?
"Belgium's government has completely lost its mind," wrote Irene Gossens "They are printing a series of postal stamps illustrating personalities representing the XXth century. They choose Jean XXIII, Che Guevara (!), Nelson Mandela (!), (Willy Brandt!), John Kennedy, Golda Meier and .... LENIN!! These stamps will be on sale from 6 December 1999." (see the black and white scan of the stamp at our Web site).
So Ms. Gossens fired off a long letter of protest to "La Libre Belgique" ("Free Belgium"), a Brussels daily, which published it in full on Nov. 24. She accused the Belgian government of being accomplices to the crimes against humanity carried out by the Soviet communist under Lenin's leadership. And she demanded that the stamp be pulled from circulation before its scheduled release date.
Meanwhile, we replied to her as follows: ---
"Wish you were right, Irene (that the 'Belgian government has completely lost its mind'). But I am afraid this looks to me more like a case of closet 'reds' coming out of the closet. And why not, when one of them is now president of the United States of America. (You may have noticed that I had already proposed a long time ago that the red star and hammer and sickle symbols be added to the NATO logo?). ---
Speaking of which, here's what we said, in part, last August in the text which accompanied the new proposed NATO logo (see S99-132, "Peacefarce" 26, Item 1, Aug. 5 - http://www.truthinmedia.org/Kosovo/Peace/ps26.html ).
"Throughout NATO,s war on Serbia, (British Defense Minister) Robertson has been one of the loudest hawks among the alliance members. Unlike (the NATO secretary) Solana, who in a fit of double-speak alleged that NATO was not waging war on Yugoslavia (see S99-91, Day 65, Item 1, May 27), Robertson did not mince any words when attacking the Serbs, speaking with a thick Scottish accent. Which is probably why Tony Blair's nominee won such a quick endorsement by Washington and Berlin (to succeed Solana as NATO's top civilian boss).
There is at least one thing which Robertson and Solana have in common - both are lifelong socialists. Add to this left-wing fraternity of Clinton, Blair and Schroeder, plus the fact that leftists are in power in 11 of 15 European Union nations, and you can see that NATO and the West have become a new mutation of Socialist International.
The only thing missing are the hammer and the sickle. Which can be easily appended to the NATO logo (see the new proposed NATO logo)."

Second item:
* A November 24, 1999 Associated Press article written by Mark Lavie
and titled "Crosses, Christmas trees offensive to Jews, says chief rabbi" tells of the following:
AP:
JERUSALEM (AP) - Crucifixes and Christmas trees have been banned from Israeli hotel lobbies during the millennium holiday season because they are offensive to Jews, Israel's chief rabbi said Wednesday.
With a flood of Christian pilgrims expected during the holidays, Israel's rabbis earlier this month said Christmas celebrations had to be held out of sight in closed-off rooms.
Zundelsite:
May we suggest that in an "equal world", the paragraphs above might read as follows:
". . . The Jewish Star and the Menorah have been banned from American hotel lobbies during the millennium holiday season because they are offensive to Christians, Billy Graham (or Jerry Fallwell, Pat Robertson, you-name-'em) said Wednesday.
With a flood of Jewish visitors expected during the holidays, Christian ministers said earlier this month said Chanukah celebrations had to be held out of sight in closed-off rooms.
AP:
Crosses are "against the Jewish religion'' and the sight of a cross or a Christmas tree "is forbidden for a Jew,'' Chief Rabbi Israel Meir Lau told the Foreign Press Association on Wednesday.
And hotels face further restrictions because both Christmas and New Years fall on Friday night - the Jewish Sabbath.
Zundelsite:
Imagine that you were to read:
"The Jewish Star and the Menorah are "against the Christian religion'' and the sight of a Jewish Star or a Menorah "are forbidden to a Christian,'' Billy Graham (or Jerry Fallwell, Pat Robertson, you-name-'em) told the Foreign Press Association on Wednesday.
AP:
And hotels face further restrictions because both Christmas and New Years fall on Friday night - the Jewish Sabbath.
There can be no music in the hotels on Friday night, because "music, using microphones ... is a desecration of the Sabbath,'' Lau said.
Zundelsite:
Moving right along:
And hotels face further restrictions because both Chanukah and New Years fall on a holiday - the Christian Sunday.
There can be no music in the hotels on Sunday night, because "music, using microphones ... is a desecration of the Christian holiday,'' Billy Graham (or Jerry Fallwell, Pat Robertson, you-name-'em) said.
AP:
The decision to keep Christmas celebrations hidden in closed rooms was a compromise reached between hotels and tour operators eager to draw Christian visitors and the rabbis who issue the valuable certificates ensuring that the hotels are kosher.
Some rabbis have tried to stop any Christmas and New Year's celebrations in hotels that receive the kashrut certificates - which includes most hotels in the country.
This year, hotel and tour operators protested the rabbis' constraints, fearful of losing Christian guests. When the dispute became too vocal, the Chief Rabbinate brokered the compromise.
Zundelsite:
In the same vein:
The decision to keep Chanukah celebrations hidden in closed rooms was a compromise reached between hotels and tour operators eager to draw Jewish visitors and the ministers who issue the valuable certificates ensuring that the hotels are clean.
Some Christian ministers have tried to stop any Chanukah and New Year's celebrations in hotels that receive the (?) certificates - which includes most hotels in the country.
This year, hotel and tour operators protested the ministers' constraints, fearful of losing Jewish guests. When the dispute became too vocal, the Council of Christan Churches brokered the compromise.

Thought for the Day:
"Today there are entire groups and many individuals who smash their noses into fists and declare they have been harmed."
