Let's Make A Deal ... With The Devil


The man then began to see the donors, or to be more accurate, sellers, who were flown in from impoverished countries such as Moldova.

"He said it was awful. These people would be brought in and they didn't even know what they were supposed to be doing and they would want to go home and they would cry," Scheper-Hughes said. "These people were paid a fee of $10,000 and the organs would be sold for $180,000."

The man called Rosenbaum "was a thug" who would pull out a pistol he was apparently licensed to carry and tell the sellers, "You're here. A deal is a deal. Now, you'll give us a kidney or you'll never go home.' "

Scheper-Hughes felt she had to stop Rosenbaum. She met with the FBI.

What? More Jews ruthlessly exploiting goys for profit?

Talmudic business as usual. Next.

50 shekels this won't even make headline news in the US.

(Comedy gold from Monday’s Jerusalem Post:)

Anti-Semitism was behind the highly publicized arrests last week of rabbis, including three from the Aleppo-Syrian Jewish community in New York and New Jersey, according to Yitzhak Kakun, editor-in-chief of the Shas weekly Yom Le'Yom.

"There is a feeling here that the FBI purposely attempted to arrest as many rabbis as possible at once in an attempt to humiliate them," Kakun said in a telephone interview Sunday.

"Regardless of the details of the case - I am not familiar with the precise charges and the evidence - you would never see the FBI and police behaving that way with Muslim sheikhs or Christian priests. It is so obvious that the whole thing is motivated by anti-Semitism," he said.

Kakun added that he planned on devoting the editorial of his paper to an attack on the Obama administration for attempting to whip up anti-Semitic feelings against the Orthodox Jewish community in the US. ...

By the wildest of coincidences, I was already working on a musical about a "matchmaking" rabbi in the illegal-kidney trade.

It's called "Hello, Dialysis."

In a book I was reading, it hinted that in the future, the black market organ business is going to be what the black market drug trade is today.

Which I suspect is kinda the case, today. Ever notice how, when famous people need organs, it only takes a few weeks (And it's always "an anonymous fan" who volunteers the organ) and with us regular bums, it takes YEARS.

Err... not to be so vague, the book was "Chief" by Albert Seedman. And by black market, I mean that the mob is going to become heavily involved in it.

Even when illegally selling human organs, the Jew is the victim.

The Doc said...

So apparently "Anti-semite" is a weapon, now, just a meaningless term that you throw at anyone who dares claim a jewish person is responsible for any crime.

The Doc said...

Apparently, even another Jew.

Dayum. Zayde was hot!

Not too shabby, eh? What's not to like?

It's not surprising that Palestinian "terrorists"provide a steady supply of these organs

II: That site you linked to is interesting but has seriously racist overtones and tons of racist links. They even link to David Duke's site that has a warning from Blogger! All of this to say that it is important to question existing paradigms in history, but consider the source.

A lot of those truther sites have overlap with a branch of right wing extremist racism that preaches scientific racism etc.

Too bad.

Mahndisa,

Truth is truth regardless of its source.

Hence the old European saying - Only the Jew cries out in pain as he strikes you.

Nooby Americans just don't know what they're dealing with yet.

"They even link to David Duke's site that has a warning from Blogger!"

Wow.

The thought police are effective.

"Warning" people ... for linking to other people.

Amazing.

If you read the articles posted on David Duke's site NoWarForIsrael.com prior to the run up to the War On Iraq, you will see he told far more truths than did the New York Times.

In fact. Everything he said turned out to be true. Everything. He named the NeoCon warmongers. He deconstructed the WMD lie. He explained the motivation and revealed Israeli connection to false intelligence.

He told the truth.

Yet he has been shunned. And even good people are participating.

Funny thing is, the NYTimes and the Washington Post were far more pro war and Right Wing than was David Duke.

But the thought police have created a REVERSAL.

The occupiers are "moderate". The occupied are "extremists".

They want the "truth" to be things they like and "lies" to be things they don't like.

II and DV with much respect you are taking this out of context. I am not part of the thought police at all and certainly believe in respecting the message irrespective of the messenger. HOWEVER, if someone links to a David Duke site and then touts it as truth, I've got to wonder about that. I went to the site, I did not admonish anyone else against going to the site, simply warned them of possible topics that are sensitive.

Cringing at the thought of someone viewing David Dukes diatribes as 'truth' is not thought police; it's common sense. You forget where I live. Up until a few years ago there was a yearly cross burning in a town right outside of ours at the local KKKmans home. I've encountered racism, that is people who think they're better than me AND have power and authority to enforce their views, from David Duke supporters. Skinheads used to be all but the norm in this town, so NO fuck this thought police shit.

Sometimes you take it to another level when any reasonable person would be concerned.


With that said, that guy Brother Nathaniel is a total zealot in his crusade against Jewish establishment tyranny, as is his right. He might have some valid points, but the problem is that in a few of his articles, people have had to check him on misreporting facts (particularly related to how he feels Jews are culpable for Armenian genocide), among other things.

I am all for questioning orthodoxies and looking at who is in control of the media etc. I personally find it offensive that this major ethnic group says its victimized by racism when this group MAKES policy and owns the media. One of the first talkie stars was a Jew named Al Jolson. He made his money doing BLACKFACE routines put out by a studio, Warner Brothers started by three Jewish Ukranian brothers. Warner Brothers studios put out extremely racist depictions of Blacks and perpetuated them in the media, yet we should feel sorry because the Warners were victims of antiSemitism.

It only takes common sense to explore these issues.

But I take offense with the insinuation that I've been brainwashed by the thought police because I dare question one of these 'alternative' so called news sites.

I think Brother Nathaniel has some important information on his site, that is the stuff that isn't blatantly incorrect.
