The Jews and the Origin of Traffic in Secondhand Clothing

 The Jews and the Origin of Traffic in Secondhand Clothing  When the Jews landed in what is today called America, together with Christopher Columbus, around 1492, after they had been expelled from Spain on August 2, 1492, they were prohibited from settling among the people there—an order from the Dutch governor, Peter Stuyvesant, because of who they were.  Fortunately for them (the Jews), they already invested large amount of capital in the shares of the Dutch’s company. Henry Ford observes: “Nevertheless, they were forbidden to enter public service and to open retail shops, which had the effect of driving them into foreign trade in which they were soon exercising all but a monopoly because of their European connections.” “This is the only one of the thousand illustrations which can be given of the resourcefulness of the Jew. “Forbid him in one direction, he will excel in another”. When he is forbidden to deal in new clothes, he sold old clothes—that was the beginning of ...

Washington in a Unipolar World

 …on December 25, 1991–two years to the day after the Ceauşescus’ execution, twelve years to the day after the invasion of Afghanistan, and just over seventy-four years after the Bolshevik Revolution—the last leader of the Soviet Union called the president of the United States to wish him a merry Christmas, transferred to Yeltsin the codes needed to launch a nuclear attack, and reached for the pen with which he would sign the decree that officially terminated the existence of the U.S.S.R. It contained no ink, and so he had to borrow one from the Cable News Network television crew that was covering the event.

The threat of a world is no more.”  The above lines marked the be...

America Will Fall

 During the Cold War—1945 to 1991—Soviet Union not only suppressed, victimized and bribed its own citizens, smaller countries that proved their dogged commitment to leaning toward the Western Bloc got hit monumentally.  The new Kremlin leader, Gorbachev, having recognized this wrote, “One could always “suppress, compel, bribe, break or blast, but only for a certain period.” —His book, “Perestroika”.  John Lewis Gaddis observes: “From the point of view of long-term, big-time politics, no one will be able to subordinate others…Let everyone make his own choice, and let’s all respect that choice.” In the light of Gorbachev’s words, America will FALL like the “Evil Empire” of Soviet Union in the 1990s. Israel is on the verge of collapsing too.  These are not largely my opinion only, Fareed Zakaria tells us how Americans feel about their country in his article, “The Self-Doubt Superpower”, although he consoles them that this is a world that has been built by America—an int...
