Carter's Brain Tumor!

I received this from a friend and fellow memo reader.  I wrote in a previous memo I wished Carter well  and hoped he would not suffer but I am in total agreement with this op ed and frankly believe his brain was attacked by cancer cells far sooner than his doctors finally  discovered. (See 1 below.)
===
The current market correction is healthy because anything that reduces unsupportable expectations is good.  However, when a decline could be a reflection of a future deflationary trend gripping world economies that is not healthy.  I fear the latter and hope for the former.
===
Is Lebanon next on ISIS' list? This op ed author believes it is.  (See 2 below.)
===
Has the consequence of Iran soon to be receiving hundred of billions from the DEAL begun to energize its proxies?  (See 3 below.)

Even When Announcing His Grave Illness Jimmy Carter Is An Anti-Semitic Dirt-bag



Despite writing about Jimmy Carter's hatred of Jews and Israel for over a decade, when I heard last week that Jimmy Carter's cancer had spread I felt bad for the man, his family, friends and prayed that he would be free of pain till the end. To be honest I began to agonize what I would write about when he died. Usually I ignore the deaths of dishonorable people, the two exceptions were Helen Thomas who I exposed as an anti-Semite which destroyed her career and John Murtha the late congressional king of pork who disgraced himself and the uniform he wore by making false charges against soldiers honorably serving in Afghanistan.

I pretty much decided I would keep silent. Especially when he started his press conference on Friday revealing that the horrible disease had spread to his brain. Well---that was until a reporter asked him what he would like to see happen before he died, and when he answered the former president slandered the Jewish State (see video below):
In international affairs I would say peace for Israel and its neighbors. That has been a top priority for my foreign policy projects for the last 30 years. Right now I think the prospects of are more dismal than anytime I remember in the last 50 years. Practically, whole process is practically dormant. The government of Israel has no desire for two-state solution, which is policy of all the other nations in the world. And the United States has practically no influence compared to past years in either Israel or Palestine. So I feel very discouraged about it but that would be my number one foreign policy hope.
Perhaps it's all the Times he met with Hamas, ignoring their terrorism and declaring they want peace that has clouded Mr. Carter's memory.  But the Author of a book with a title calling the Jewish State an apartheid nation forgets history.  The truth is that the last Israeli Premier who did not support a two state solution was Yitchak Rabin. Every prime minister since Peres, Netanyahu, Sharon, Barak, Comb-over...er Olmert, every single one of them declared their goal was a two state solution. Heck under Barack and Olmert, the Palestinians were offered deals which gave them 98% of what they wanted and each time they said no.  On the other hand even years after Rabin shook the hands of the terrorist Arafat the Palestinians refuse to recognize the sovereign Jewish State of Israel.

So why would Jimmy Carter take the time to slander the Jewish State at the same time he was announcing the graveness of his illness.  That's easy, Carter hates Jews.

Anti-Semitism is not a claim I make lightly especially about a guy who seems to be close to meeting his maker, but I feel that his slander needs to be answered. So allow me to present some evidence.

For example, ultra-liberal Alan Dershowitz  feels that Carter is a Jew-hater. In an essay talking about Carter's anti-Semitic claims that the Jews control foreign policy and the media, he wrote:
The entire premise of his criticism of Jewish influence on American foreign policy is that money talks. It is Carter, not me, who has made the point that if politicians receive money from Jewish sources, then they are not free to decide issues regarding the Middle East for themselves. It is Carter, not me, who has argued that distinguished reporters cannot honestly report on the Middle East because they are being paid by Jewish money. So, by Carter's own standards, it would be almost economically "suicidal" for Carter "to espouse a balanced position between Israel and Palestine."
(...) If money determines political and public views as Carter insists "Jewish money" does, Carter's views on the Middle East must be deemed to have been influenced by the vast sums of Arab money he has received. If he who pays the piper calls the tune, then Carter's off-key tunes have been called by his Saudi Arabian paymasters. It pains me to say this, but I now believe that there is no person in American public life today who has a lower ratio of real to apparent integrity than Jimmy Carter.
Ambassador Marc Ginsburg was Jimmy Carter's deputy senior adviser on the Middle East, and from 1977 through 1980 was White House liaison to the State Department. He has a unique perspective of Jimmy Carter's Middle East dealings. According to the Ambassador, the reason Carter goes out of his way to bash Israel is that he feels American Jews did not kiss his butt enough for all that he did for Israel.
...When former President Jimmy Carter revealed that Israel has more than 150 nuclear weapons, he clearly had a motive, according to his administration’s deputy senior adviser, Marc Ginsberg: “I think there’s no doubt — particularly given the vantage point I had in the White House at the end of his administration — that he resents the way in which Israel and the American-Jewish community have failed to express sufficient gratitude for his efforts on behalf of peace in the Middle East.
“In my judgment, there’s no other explanation,” Ginsberg says.

(...) “There’s no doubt he knows exactly what he is doing when he’s making these statements, or making misrepresentations that Hamas has agreed to recognize Israel if certain conditions occur, or to the book he wrote [‘Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid’] referring to Israel.”
About those Camp David talks most people forget how Carter didn't want them to happen. The truth is when Sadat went to Jerusalem and Israel and Egypt began bi-lateral talks, Carter objected. He didn't care that the peace process already begun by Sadat and Begin might lead to peace, Carter wanted his "Geneva Peace Process" plan or nothing.

Thankfully Carter couldn't stop the approaching peace train. Within days after the Sadat vist  Israeli journalists were allowed into Cairo, breaking a symbolic barrier, and from there the peace process quickly gained momentum and dragged Carter along.
As President Carter even rejected someone for a position on the board of the Holocaust Memorial Council because the guy'sname was too Jewish:

William Bradford Smith, Chair of the Division of History, Politics & International Studies at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta once sent a letter to the Jewish Exponent in Philadelphia, which said in part:
Carter's hatred of Israel and, by extension, of all Jews (and make no mistake, if you spend any time in the man's presence, his discomfort at being in the same room with someone who merely appears to be Jewish is palpable), is rooted in the man's megalomania, and his unflinching belief in his own rectitude.
Here's the bottom line, I am sorry the guy is so sick but that doesn't change the fact that deep in his heart he is an anti-Semitic dirt-bag. As he plays out his last days, I would just like to give the former President one suggestion, perhaps it's time to learn Hebrew, because when he meets his maker he may be a bit surprised about how he feels about Jew-haters.

Op-Ed: Islamic State is Heading for Lebanon Next


The Syrian regime's situation took a turn for the better when in May 2013, Hezbollah's infantry entered the conflict in full force in an attempt to conquer the city of Al-Qusayr, located between the Jussieh border crossing that separates northeast Lebanon from Syria and the Syrian city of Homs. Al-Qusayr was of great importance to Hezbollah, because it is on the road that leads from northern Lebanon deep into Syrian territory and was the site of much arms, weapons, ammunition, communications equipment and cash smuggling that came from the port of Tripoli and the Sunnis of northern Lebanon and reached the rebel forces.
The Syrian army did not succeed in conquering al-Qusayr, so the Iranian Revolutionary Guard command decided to bring in Hezbollah to free the town from anti-Assad rebels headed by the Free Syrian Army and Jabhat al-Nusra. Hezbollah managed to win the tough battle that included house-to-house fighting, but it paid a hefty price with over one hundred of its fighters dead and at least double that number wounded. The rebels lost over two thousand fighters, of whom 1000 were killed and another 1000 taken prisoner by the Syrian Army while at least 2000 were wounded. The high number of rebel casualties is a result of the Syrian Air Force's intensive use of barrel bombs.
Hezbollah continued to take part in freeing Homs from rebel control, helping Assad hold his ground by ensuring that the Allawite area and its seaports remained accessible from Damascus. At that time, those fighting Hezbollah were mainly the Free Syrian Army and Ja;bhat al-Nusra.
In 2014, however, Islamic State made its appearance, and in June 2014 it began fighting heavily in Syria, conquering large swaths of land in the eastern, thinly-populated part of the country. Islamic State's tactics were to use a large motorized force of 4X4 vehicles plus heavier tanks and troop carriers that it had taken as booty in Iraq to attack small towns, villages and army posts. Only rarely would Islamic State mass its forces in order to engage in static trench warfare, as it did in Kobane on the Syrian-Turkish border, because in that type of battle it had no advantage over those protecting the city.
As a result, Islamic State has developed a most useful tactic – it simply surrounds places that are difficult to conquer, such as eastern Syria's regional city, Dir-a-zur, laying siege to them and blocking overland supply routes. This minimizes casualties for Islamic State and allows it to achieve significant territorial and psychological successes at a relatively small price.
Another important detail of Islamic State's strategy is its efforts to gain control over border passes, thereby stopping overland traffic between Syria and its neighbors – Iraq, Turkey and Jordan – and resulting in a partial siege of Assad's regime. Up until this week, Lebanon was the only country whose border crossings were still in Assad's hands.
That ended when advance forces of Islamic State infiltrated westward to the area south of Homs this week, surrounded al-Qusayr and overran Hezbollah positions guarding the Jussiah crossing that joins Homs with northern Lebanon. Hezbollah lost tens of fighters in the short battle that took place in an area where it did not expect to be attacked.
Islamic State chalked up several gains: it isolated Damascus, cutting it off from the Alawite coastal area, surrounded the cities of al-Qusayr and Homs, gained control of an important border crossing and surprised the Hezbollah in what it sees as a strategic victory, as Hezbollah will now have to transfer fighters from Syria back to Lebanon in order to protect the country and its Shiites.
Surrounding al-Qusayr and Homs is a ringing slap in the face to Hezbollah which lost two hundred of its fighters to free these cities, and now is forced to see all that effort obliterated, since that is not able to stop the determined IS forces on their westward route to Lebanon. For the past three years, Hassan Nasrallah has been claiming that Hezbollah fought in Syria in order to survive in Lebanon, but it looks as though its involvement in Syria has not brought about the hoped-for results. The opposite is true, it increased the Sunni rebels' motivation – Islamic State and Jebhat al-Nusra – to take revenge on Hezbollah in its own strongholds, that is, in Lebanon.
Hezbollah may also retreat from Zabadani, a city on the road from Beirut to Damascus, clearing the way for a possible retaking of the city by the rebels or Islamic State.
The Sunni stranglehold over the Alawite sect in Syria, Assad's regime, the Shiites of Lebanon and the Hezbollah militias is growing tighter, with the voices of those under siege calling out for aid to their patrons in Tehran and Moscow. That is the reason for the feverish efforts of politicians in those two countries this week, attempting to find a solution of some kind to the war in Syria before Assad, his people and the Lebanon Shiites fall under the knives of Islamic State. As time passes, the chances of finding a solution are less and less realistic, especially since the rebels and Islamic State are already picturing the blood gushing from the necks of their opponents, the Shiites of Lebanon.
The fate of the Druze, Christians and Alawites in Lebanon will be no better than the fate of the Shiites, and Lebanon – once called the Switzerland of the Middle East – may soon become its Hell on earth.
Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Iraq must join forces with regard to Hezbollah's rocket stores, because if and when they fall into the hands of Islamic State, they will in all probability be launched against each one of those countries. Iran, the main supplier of these missiles, will take revenge on whoever allows Islamic State to carry out its plans against the Lebanese Shiites.
The Ayatollahs of Iran, whose regime is the main chess piece in the Middle East, will put the billions it receives as a result of the Iranian Nuclear Agreement to good use in order to get back at anyone who supported, aided and helped the Sunni militias in Syria, starting with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the Emirates, Turkey and Israel.  That makes it imperative for anyone who cares about the future of the Middle East to put an end to this scenario's possible occurrence before it is too late. The chaos that Iran has wrought in Yemen is exactly what it will do in Lebanon, if given the chance.
The problem is not only the nuclear arms it possesses, it is the Iranian regime itself, its way of thinking, its belief system and behavior. The world must strangle this regime in every possible way, exactly as it has to strangle the threat of Islamic State. The hope that Iran will do the world's dirty work and destroy Islamic State is unfounded, nothing but a pipe dream. The world must unite against both Iran and Islamic State, before they present it with an unconventional challenge.
Unconventional warfare

Islamic State, while fighting its opponents, also has to deal with internal problems. This week it was reported that sixteen of its fighters were infected with AIDS as a result of the “Marriage Jihad” they held with two Moroccan volunteers who brought the virus with them. The Saudi doctor and two Yazidi nurses who discovered the presence of the disease publicized it, causing a panic among Islamic State forces. The doctor and nurses were put to death after it was discovered that the Moroccan women had escaped to Turkey when the reports went public. Islamic State decided to give those who had contracted AIDS suicide missions in order to stop the spread of the disease and to see to it that their blood is spilled among Islamic State's enemies, infecting them as well. That is Islamic State's method of waging biological warfare.
This week, it became known that Islamic State's weapons engineers have begun filling katyusha rockets with chlorine gas. This became clear when one of the rockets exploded near its launching pad and the gas it gave off killed the fighters who had launched it. This does not come as a surprise – two weeks ago the first reports surfaced claiming that Islamic State is using mustard gas in rockets and missiles. The gas supplies may have been taken from Syrian army supply depots in Alspira and Aleppo and it is quite possible that Syrian army deserters know how to use them. Only a month ago, an attempt by persons connected to Islamic State to pour barrels of poison into the Kosovo capital Pristina's reservoirs was foiled and its perpetrators captured, preventing the deaths of the 200,000 residents of that city. Can Islamic State wage a chemical war? It seems likely.
In northern Syria, with its Kurdish majority, a new women's unit of Assyrian Christians has been formed and has been provided with intensive military training in preparation for all types of warfare. This unit will be sent to fight Islamic State bearing in mind that Islamic State fighters believe that if they are killed by a woman they will not receive the reward awaiting them in Paradise. As a result, as soon as they know they are surrounded by women's army units, they usually flee. This is why the Kurdish women fighters shout loudly and blood curdlingly when they think they are approaching a place that has Islamic State forces. It seems likely that the Assyrian women will do the same, using psychological warfare against Islamic State. For its part, Islamic State continues its own psychological warfare by spreading horrendous videos showing the butchering of its enemies; selling the daughters of infidels as slaves is also intended to demoralize its opponents.
In conclusion: Islamic State is engaging in biological warfare, chemical warfare and psychological warfare, another reason to define it as a terror state and not just a terror organization. Before its fighters get their hands on radioactive materials which they will use unhesitatingly against their enemies, it might be a good idea to remember that every hospital trashcan contains radioactive materials from its x-ray department and putting together a “dirty bomb” using these materials is really easy. May G-d help us all.

Four rockets that slammed into Israel on Thursday have been linked to Iranian commanders working to establish direct and proxy infrastructure in the Golan Heights, according to Israeli officials including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who blamed the attack on an "Iranian commander [who] directed and supported the cell that fired" the projectiles. The rockets were reportedly fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists from territory on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights.  An IDF officer  statedthat Iranian Quds Force operative Saeed Izadi as having directed the attack. Izadi is the head of the Palestinian Department in the Quds Force, the branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps responsible for extraterritorial terrorism. The incident came amid analysis from Israeli military officials and journalists who  concluded that the Iranians have established a sort of "forward command" presence on the Syrian side of the Israeli-Syrian border, and are using it to direct a mix of terror and Iranian military assets in the area. It will reinforce already-widespread concerns that the Iranians intend to use the period following the implementation of the recently-announced Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a nuclear deal that will see Iran receive hundreds of millions of dollars in exchange for temporary restrictions on its nuclear program, to expand its conventional expansionist efforts. Matthew Levitt, a terror finance expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, had specifically warned that financial resources set to flow into Iran - $150 billion almost immediately, and then followed by hundreds of billions more as a result of sanctions relief - would be turned toward funding groups operating along Israel's north, including most prominently Hezbollah. The analysis is in line with  explicit boasts from Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah about the nuclear deal empowering Israeli adversaries. Israel's military experts fear that the new funding for Hezbollah will come just as the Iranians are allowing the terror group to be more aggressive in pursuing campaigns against Israeli civilian and military targets. Colonel (res.) Ronen Cohen, the former director of the Terrorism Desk at the IDF Military Intelligence (MI) Directorate and deputy head of MI's Research Division,  recently explained that after the JCPOA's implementation "it will be clear to the Iranians that Israel is not about to attack them, and they will therefore let go a bit and allow Nasrallah to respond as he pleases."
