We all want control


by Nur Abdur Rashid

CONTROL

This is about control, it's about vision,
my vision, my mission
Don't tell me about what you think,
'cause I don't care, no I don't care

Chorus:
We all want control of our destiny,
we all want control of our lives
We all want control of our each other,
we all see the fear in our eyes

An old man was sitting on a corner,
he couldn't remember where he lived
I felt so sad until he told me
He knew where he was and that was enough for him

(chorus)

Open my eyes to it, I can see that way too
Open your eyes to it, you can see that way too

(chorus)

We all want control, we all want control, we all want control
We all want control

(Mr. Mister -- from the "Go On" CD)

Thinking about the "War on Terrorism"...
Thinking about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict...

We are One. The Lord Our God, is One. God is Greater.
Then, why can we not identify with one another?

We cannot see that we come from one womb:
Mother Earth;

We come from one Design...
One True Parental Origin: Our Father, who art in Heaven.

Deep inside I feel that I am a Black Polish Jew... A Confucian, Christian, Buddhist... of Islamic persuasion. I am blessed to be "Made in the USA." But this day, it was written: I set before you a blessing and a curse:

Deuteronomy 11
[26] Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
[27] A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
[28] And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day...

I can, in essence, identify with those who call for a more 'humane' stewardship on the part of Jewish clout in the world today (and on the part of all other parties with excessive clout). Please bare with me, into the response, below:

In essence, 'To whom much is given, much is expected.'
Jewish people have a lot of 'control' in this world.
They are truly blessed of God in order that all the world might be blessed through them.

Can a Muslim or a Christian speak of our Jewish Heritage? Can we not speak of that heritage?

Can I speak as a Jew, of my Christian and Muslim sibblings? Do I blaspheme one, or the other, by claiming all.

Abraham begat the Arab, first; then the Jew. And all in Christ are Second Israel.

Friend, you say you have not given much thought to Jewish people (as an economic, social, cultural, and political force)? and to the clout they represent in the States (and worldwide) as a vested interest in the survival (and possible expansion) of Israel?

Their/Our suffering is great; has been great indeed.
"Remember"... "Never Again."

Let us remember, indeed, our origins in Abraham, the Father of our faith, and the father of our brethren of a different fold.

Let us never again forget the God of Abraham who set before us the blessing and the curse...

Before I 'misrepresent' mySelf as anti-Semitic, or as being subject to the disreputable forces of reverse-racism... please allow me to qualify myself, thoroughly, as one who am proud (for the most part) of my Jewish ancestors (Black and White) and grateful for the heritage bequeathed by and through the faithful of that heritage.

That said, let me say that I am equally saddened by how many times, my Jewish ancestors have played the part of the stiff-necks to the hilt, how many times they have used the advantage of their call, and the air-tight identity it provided (for them to remain a "separate" and chosen people), to the detriment of those in whose presence they chose and/or were forced to live.

You ask for some data that he might back up these contentions that Jewish clout does, in fact, exercise excessive control over advertising and the media--and that they therefore have some inordinate amount of influence on shaping the values, desires, preferences, and market demands of the 'masses' (for lack of a better word).

While you might be tempted to ignore and disqualify this data because some of it sounds like racist/nazi characterizations (for surely the nazis were spouting some of the same observations); nonetheless, some of these observations stand on their own merit, and should not fold under the quite valid, yet at times over-played, apologetics of the Holocaust.

The Holocaust was heinous, unjustifiable, and just plain evil. But it should not be used as a club and a blinding shield to prevent us from seeing the part that Jews played in creating the conditions that allowed that sore to burst out upon the world. Nor should we allow the prolific outpouring of what some have called the Holocaust 'industry' to blind us to several other genocidal waves, some of which were instigated, in part, by Jewish clout.

5) Israelis and world-wide Jewish clout (no connection?)
Israelis really so isolated and so much the underdog?

http://users.cyberone.com.au/myers/freedman.html

Granted, I can not vouch for the veracity of every comment and every suggestion in these links. But there is enough of a pattern--and enough questionable motives, ways, and means involved--to make one wonder if better use could not be made of the considerable clout waved by a people so 'blessed'


As many as answer the call, we are all, metaphorically speaking, partakers of the title, Israel.

Christians consider themselves a "second" Israel. And if you are something other than Christian or Jew, you need only answer the call to be a "Third" Israel, of sorts.

(Sorry, this language may be offensive to our Jewish or Israeli brother.)

But yes, we are all the third Israel; if we do not consider ourselves counted among the 1st, 2nd, Israel (though some of the adherents of other faiths have performed as well as any of the "chosen"). Nonetheless, Israel and the Jews (where there is to be a distinction) have yet a call to live up to... particularly if they base their claim, to 're-claim' the holy land on the distinctive injunction that "God gave this land to me."

Not everyone who speaks out so strongly and judgementally against what our Jewish brother has made of his 'blessing' is speaking with the venom of a Jew-hater. Rather, some are speaking with the same anxiety that was in the bosom of every prophet who ever came to Israel. As one who answers the call of the Third Israel, they would be merely voicing with vigor the frustration (Korean "Han") of God: this day--my beloved, my prefered (you nation of priests)--I set before you, yet again, a blessing and a curse.



Notes:
=================

1) "Tony Blair said; 'Those who lurk in the shadows, are not governed by any sense of morality.'
I endorse that statement and before I am wrongfully accused of Anti-Semitism, as is customary for implicating the Rothschild family's unseen hand in all major World events, one's ethnicity does not grant immunity from scrutiny and the Rothschilds owe their allegiance not to Judaism... I could not care less whether this Dynasty was Irish or Indian, their nationality is of no concern to me, it's what they do that offends my sensibilities. As a Scot, if I had an axe to grind it would be with the Auld enemy the Sassenachs (see Braveheart) but I don't bear a grudge or blame the sons for the sins of the fathers. However, Mayer Amschel Bauer, born in a Jewish ghetto at the end of the 18th. Century, who changed his family name to Rothschild, meaning Red Shield, left a legacy through his five sons, which touches all our lives...

"Baron Nathan de Rothschild, the power behind the throne, and great grandson of Mayer, financed Benjamin Disraeli's government in the colonial conquest of Zululand and on Queen Victoria's behalf in 1879, Cetshwayo's army and the Zulu Empire was utterly decimated. Baron Rothschild supplied Cecil Rhodes with the funds to establish a monopoly over the gold fields of South Africa and DeBeers diamonds. Rhodes organised further incursions into Matabeleland, which he claimed for the English Crown and named after himself. The enslavement of the indigenous population in the gold mines and the seizure of their territory by force, with it's repercussions, is still in evidence today.

"Britain introduced it's venal political system all over the African Continent, after Imperialists had carved it up, indifferent to ethnic or cultural divides. For instance, look at the hand-picked puppet choice in Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe or Morgan Tsvangirai. the bad and the ugly. where's the good? It goes without saying this is not what is meant by democracy or free and fair elections and innocent blood will be shed..."

2) Cecil Rhodes in his will stated:
"It is the destiny of the pure Aryan Anglo-Saxon race to dominate the world and kill off or else reduce to servile status all other inferior races." "White Man's Burden", the "public-face", semi-official ideology of the British Empire popularized by Rudyard Kipling and from which the current conspiracy descends, was a transparent rationalization for White domination of the world under the color of patronizing of non-Whites as inherently inferior or at least historically and culturally undeveloped. In nearly all theories, those suspected of being the "top conspirators" are all light skinned from the Aryan-rooted British Royal family to Rockefeller, Rothschild, and George Bush. Certainly, few dark faces are seen at the top of the Vatican hierarchy. Those near or at the top of the Judeo-Masonic conspiracy may or may not be Jewish, but they are not, as far as anyone can tell, Black, Oriental, Native American, Mongols, etc. To often, we Whites forget how anomalous the world situation is from a non-White perspective. With less than 10% of the world population, Whites some how hold the bulk of world power. Only the Japanese are seriously challenging this White supremacy. [dated...]

3) "The largest media conglomerate today is Walt Disney Company,
whose chairman and CEO, Michael Eisner, is a Jew. The Disney Empire, headed by a man described by one media analyst as a 'control freak' includes several television production companies (Walt Disney Television, Touchstone Television, Buena Vista Television), its own cable network with 14 million subscribers, and two video production companies.

"As for feature films, the Walt Disney Picture Group, headed by Joe Roth (also a Jew), includes Touchstone Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, and Caravan Pictures. Disney also owns Miramax Films, run by the Weinstein brothers.

"When the Disney Company was run by the Gentile Disney family prior to its takeover by Eisner in 1984, it epitomized wholesome, family entertainment. While it still holds the rights to Snow White, under Eisner, the company has expanded into the production of graphic sex and violence. In addition, it has 225 affiliated stations in the United States and is part owner of several European TV companies.

"ABC's cable subsidiary, ESPN, is headed by president and CEO Steven Bornstein, a Jew. This corporation also has a controlling share of Lifetime Television and the Arts & Entertainment Network cable companies. ABC Radio Network owns eleven AM and ten FM stations, again in major cities such as New York, Washington, Los Angeles, and has over 3,400 affiliates.

"Although primarily a telecommunications, company, Capital Cities/ABC earned over $ 1 billion in publishing in 1994. It owns seven daily newspapers, Fairchild Publications, Chilton Publications, and the Diversified Publishing Group.

"Time Warner, Inc, is the second of the international media leviathans. The chairman of the board and CEO, Gerald Levin, is a Jew. Time Warner's subsidiary HBO is the country's largest pay-TV cable network. Warner Music is by far the world largest record company, with 50 labels, the biggest of which is Warner Brothers Records, headed by Danny Goldberg Stuart Hersch is president of Warnervision, Warner Music's video production unit. Goldberg and Hersch are Jews. Warner Music was an early promoter of "gangsta rap." Through its involvement with Interscope Records, it helped popularize a genre whose graphic lyrics explicitly urge Blacks to commit acts of violence against Whites.

"In addition to cable and music, Time Warner is heavily involved in the production of feature films (Warner Brothers Studio) and publishing. Time Warner's publishing division (editor-in-chief Norman Pearlstine, a Jew) is the largest magazine publisher in the country (Time, Sports Illustrated, People, Fortune).

4) ... the Jewish people, of European descent, are a part of the world apparatus of European control.
And, in the matter of White control over the world, their position is no different than that of other Europeans. I am not saying that the Jews of Europe are more bent on world dominance than other Europeans; I am saying that they are not radically different from other Europeans in this regard. Internal disputes between the Jews and other Europeans is a form of European domestic racism.

"European racism has spent itself out outside of Europe. During the Nazi regime in Germany, that racism turned inward on itself and created what is referred to as The Holocaust. This was a problem started in Europe by Europeans that should have been resolved in Europe by Europeans.

"... What is now being called anti. Semitism [particularly] among a newly awakened Black intellectual class is that they are beginning to look at the people referred to as Jews as Part of the totality of European world dominance. We are not saying that the European who is a Jew is any more of an imperialist than any other of the Europeans, but that he is basically the same. We are not saying that the role of the Jews in the slave trade was any different then any other Europeans, but that it was basically the same. When they saw the opportunity to make money in the slave trade, they took advantage of this opportunity the same as other Europeans in the same business..."

5) "The Zionists in Germany, who represented the Zionists from Eastern Europe, went to the British War Cabinet
and I am going to be brief because it's a long story... They told England: "We will guarantee to bring the United States into the war as your ally, to fight with you on your side, if you will promise us Palestine after you win the war." In other words, they made this deal: "We will get the United States into this war as your ally. The price you must pay is Palestine after you have won the war and defeated Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey." Now England had as much right to promise Palestine to anybody, as the United States would have to promise Japan to Ireland for any reason whatsoever. It's absolutely absurd that Great Britain, that never had any connection or any interest or any right in what is known as Palestine should offer it as coin of the realm to pay the Zionists for bringing the United States into the war. However, they did make that promise, in October of 1916. And shortly after that-- don't know how many here remember it--the United States, which was almost totally pro-German, entered the war as Britain's ally.

"Versailles -- That is where all the trouble started. The United States got in the war. The United States crushed Germany. You know what happened. When the war ended, and the Germans went to Paris for the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 there were 117 Jews there, as a delegation representing the Jews, headed by Bernard Baruch. I was there: I ought to know. Now what happened? The Jews at that peace conference, when they were cutting up Germany and parceling out Europe to all these nations who claimed a right to a certain part of European territory, said, "How about Palestine for us?" And they produced, for the first time to the knowledge of the Germans, this Balfour Declaration. So the Germans, for the first time realized, "Oh, so that was the game! That's why the United States came into the war." The Germans for the first time realized that they were defeated, they suffered the terrific reparations that were slapped onto them, because the Zionists wanted Palestine and were determined to get it at any cost.

"That brings us to another very interesting point. When the Germans realized this, they naturally resented it. Up to that time, the Jews had never been better off in any country in the world than they had been in Germany. You had Mr. Rathenau there, who was maybe 100 times as important in industry and finance as is Bernard Baruch in this country. You had Mr. Balin, [Albert Ballin-RW] who owned the two big steamship lines, the North German Lloyd's and the Hamburg-American Lines. You had Mr. Bleichroder, who was the banker for the Hohenzollern family. You had the Warburgs in Hamburg, who were the big merchant bankers, the biggest in the world. The Jews were doing very well in Germany. No question about that. The Germans felt: "Well, that was quite a sellout."

Its a very complicated world, but maybe the 1st Israel can still play a major role in a speedy turn-around.
