Mark Dankof's America

Mark Dankof to American Patriots: Bob Barr for President? Forget It.

kramfoknad — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 23:44:23 +0000

Julie Bosman's front page story in the June 28th New York Times chronicles the 3rd Party Presidential campaign efforts of ex-Republican Congressman Bob Barr, who will run on the Libertarian Party ticket.

My candid advice to American Patriots. Forget it. And please spell that in capital letters for public distribution to people in our movement around the nation.

Barr and I have met personally on only one occasion--the Conservative Caucus symposium on Y2K issues held before the turn of the century in Washington, D. C.'s swank University Club. He was one of the illustrious speakers scheduled for that event by Caucus Chairman Howard Phillips. I recall the Congressman as an interesting speaker and an apparent gentleman.

That having been said, Ms. Bosman's well positioned piece on the Barr candidacy in today's Times should prove fatal to the Georgian's chances for meaningful impact on the November election--if the Patriot movement glances at the record, effectively chronicled for the world in New York this June 28th. Furthermore, his nomination by the Libertarian Party could seal the latter's permanent fate as well.

Why? As page A 10 in today's Times underscores, Bob Barr voted in the United States Congress for 1) the USA Patriot Act; and 2) the "authorization" for Mr. Bush's war in Iraq in 2002.

It is difficult to imagine a more ludicrous scenario than this--a Libertarian Presidential candidate running as an "alternative" to the impending McCain-Obama/AIPAC tragicomedy unfolding before the American people, who has put his own imprimatur on the drive of the New World Order's elite to recast the United States as a domestic police state, and a nation at perpetual war on behalf of transnational corporations and the Israeli Lobby.

As I have already said--forget it. In capital letters.

Ms. Bosman also notes that Barr is attempting to co-opt Congressman Ron Paul's constituency. Reassuringly, the Times columnist notes the resentment of ex-Paul staffers and supporters, aimed at such a transparently fraudulent scheme being launched by the Libertarian Party and its dubious Presidential nominee. That The New York Times honestly reports this development, suggests that Barr's sleight-of-hand with the American Right specifically, and the voting public generally, will mercifully crash land well before becoming airborne this fall.

American Patriots, Constitutionalists, and Paleo-Conservatives are then left with one of three (3) choices going into November of 2008.

The first option is not to vote. There is a compelling rationale behind this argument, namely to delegitimize a corrupt process firmly in the control of a well-financed, evil cabal, right down to the Diebold electronic voting machines and a sockpuppet news media parroting the line of the Masters of the Masses. The libertarian web site LewRockwell.com has occasionally run well honed essays promoting this viable choice.

The second option materializes only if Congressman Ron Paul decides to launch his own 3rd party effort after the Republican National Convention is over. Paul's assets are his ideological principles, a loyal grassroots constituency, and a higher degree of name recognition than would have been the case a year ago. His liabilities include a less than effective communication style and bearing than one would like in a Presidential candidate in this media driven age, and the age-old problems confronting any 3rd party effort--money, ballot access, and media coverage.

There is a third option. This involves casting a vote for Pastor Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party. I have endorsed Baldwin, on the basis of his ideological consistency and personal integrity, and also out of loyalty to my old friends in the Constitution Party. Baldwin has already served the American Republic well by keeping Zionist shill Alan Keyes from taking over the 16 year old party founded by Howard Phillips in 1992. If the Pensacola-based Baptist clergyman is to move his Party into better electoral results and the subsequent credibility such results would bring, he must prove to be a much better guerrilla political strategist and campaigner than his well meaning predecessors have been. My advice to 2004 Constitution Party candidate Michael Peroutka, still available at Dave Black On-Line, holds true today for Chuck Baldwin. He must pursue my Trinity Strategy with a vengeance, while targeting key swing states in a close election between the major party candidates. If he manages this, his candidacy and the fate of his party might become exhiliratingly airborne like a Phoenix rising from the ashes. If he fails, the Constitution Party will be consigned to the trash heap of history in the final days of the American Republic.

Finally, perhaps my friend Peter Phillips of Sonoma State University and Project Censored might have some thoughts on why The New York Times is willing to give Bob Barr and the Libertarians front page coverage, while ignoring Chuck Baldwin and his Constitution Party. It may be more than a coincidence that the Georgia-based Congressman is an ex-operative of the Central Intelligence Agency, or that he is now associated with Dallas-based and H. Ross Perot-linked political consultant Russell Verney. American Patriots may be interested in searching out these links and money trails in the days ahead--to see where they lead and what they mean.

His historic interview with anti-Taliban Northern Alliance leader Ahmad Shah Masoud took place in Afghanistan several weeks before the latter's assassination and the onset of the events of September 11, 2001.

America Wins, Israel Loses: Chuck Baldwin over Alan Keyes in Constitution Party Presidential Sweepstakes

kramfoknad — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 21:09:03 +0000

There is little to cheer about for any real American conservative in the 2008 Presidential election sweepstakes. The notion that John McCain, Hillary Clinton, or Barack Obama will celebrate a Presidential inaugural this January is an idea guaranteed to produce a tsunami of nausea for anyone associated with the Old American Right and Republic.

One thing is not in doubt: subsequent to the January 2008 inauguration, American neo-conservatives will convince the next American Chief Executive to engage in a preemptive military strike on Iran, with or without overt Israeli involvement. Take it to the bank.

In this present malaise, to borrow Jimmy Carter’s well chosen term for the late 1970s, there is one item fresh off the newswire guaranteed to produce at least some measure of satisfaction for those looking for an alternative to the three Zionist-controlled sockpuppets being offered as Presidential candidates by the two major parties in the coming fall of 2008: the Constitution Party, America’s largest 3^rd party in total voter registrations nationwide, has just nominated Chuck Baldwin as its standard-bearer over Zionist shill, ex-UN Ambassador Alan Keyes.

I know Baldwin personally. He was the Constitution Party’s Vice-Presidential choice in 2004, when Michael Peroutka of Maryland accepted the Presidential bid. Baldwin is correct in his policy positions when it comes to virtually anything I can think of, including what he believes on globalization, the Bill of Rights, gun rights, the protection of unborn life, the insanity of Mr. Bush’s war in Iraq, and the importance of an America-First foreign policy. Equally as important, I know Chuck Baldwin to be a self-effacing, honest man, driven to seek his fledgling Party’s top post out of sole concern for a mutually shared belief--that America is on the edge of a precipice, and fast headed for cataclysm.

I derive equal satisfaction that the voting delegates to the National Convention of the Constitution Party in Kansas City, dumped Keyes in favor of Baldwin by a count of 384-126. The Kansas City Star reports that in the wake of this decision, Keyes’s national political director, Tom Hoefling, whined and sniffed that, “They [the voting delegates] just rejected the most qualified man to be president.”

Yes, Mr. Hoefling, if the criterion for most-qualified is defined in terms of a candidate’s willingness to serve as a front man for the Zionist enterprise and the Israeli lobby. Keyes, it will be recalled, did the bidding of William Kristol and American neo-conservatives as a last minute entry in the 1996 GOP Iowa Presidential caucuses. Doing so diverted enough votes away from Pat Buchanan to guarantee Bob Dole’s Iowa victory and eventual nomination in San Diego later that fateful summer. The Catholic columnist, Joseph Sobran, observed at the time that the forces behind Keyes were identical to those who promoted the Jewish-Zionist takeover of William F. Buckley’s National Review in the 1950s. You get the picture.

Dole, in turn, tapped the moribund Jack Kemp as his running mate. Kemp, disqualified as George Herbert Walker Bush’s running mate in 1988 after a Penthouse magazine expose of the former NFL star’s personal life, had 3 things going for his subsequent selection by Dole in 1996. First, Kemp, it seems, accepted Mr. Dole’s appeal to Go Down on the Ship in an assuredly losing effort. Second, Kemp assisted Dole in brokering a deal with Clinton, Gore, and major media moguls, to make the personal lives of all 4 candidates off limits to media discussion and analysis. The Washington Post reported this Faustian affair on page one, the day after the 1996 elections. Third—and perhaps most importantly—Kemp was on the Board of Directors of JINSA—the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs.

Additional evidence on Alan Keyes has been provided by author Michael Collins Piper, my colleague at the Republic Broadcasting Network, in the latter’s new book, “The Golem: Israel’s Nuclear Hell Bomb and the Road to Global Armageddon.” In chapter 11 of that work, Piper notes the existence of an organization called “The U. S.-India League,” an organization staffed by a “virtual roster of some of Israel’s most vociferous boosters in Washington.” These names include Don Feder, the league’s executive director and author of “A Jewish Conservative Looks at Pagan America”; Thomas Donnelly, former deputy executive director of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), founded by William Kristol. PNAC once declared that American needed “a new Pearl Harbor” in order to begin expanding its imperial interests abroad; Kenneth R. Timmerman, author of the definitive “case” for Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction” for the Moon-owned Insight magazine, and the ex-editor of a Paris-based newsletter allegedly financed by the Israeli Mossad; Clifford D. May, former New York Times correspondent, ex-Republican National Committee official, and chairman of the policy committee of the Committee on the Present Danger---and Alan Keyes.

This weekend in Kansas City, the Constitution Party delegates offered a choice, not a Zionist-inspired echo. God bless them. God bless the Old American Republic. And God bless a Godly-man named Chuck Baldwin. Go get, ‘em, Chuck.

Mark Dankof to Attorney General Mukasey: Free Dr. Sami Al-Arian

kramfoknad — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 20:45:16 +0000

13 March 2008

The Honorable Michael B. Mukasey
Attorney General of the United States
U.S. Department of Justice
950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, DC 20530-0001
(202) 307-6777 Fax
askdoj@usdoj.gov

Dear Mr. Mukasey:

I write you today to request that Dr. Sami Al-Arian be freed from his federal detention center, effective immediately.

I became familiar with the Al-Arian case through interviewing Dr. Al-Arian's wife, Nahla, for a radio broadcast aired on the Republic Broadcasting Network. I have also followed the details of the case through news updates provided by the Washington Report for Middle East Affairs (WRMEA) and other agencies.

As I see it, the two (2) salient points are as follows. First, Dr. Al-Arian has been convicted of absolutely nothing in an American court of law. The lion's share of the federal charges against him were rejected by a jury of his peers in the State of Florida. While the remaining charges against him resulted in a hung jury, it is noteworthy that the vast majority of the sitting jurors voted for complete acquittal on these accusations as well.

Let me be absolutely clear about who it is that writes your office today. I am an orthodox Lutheran pastor and a Pat Buchanan Republican. I am an endowed Life Member of the National Rifle Association. My father is a retired United States Air Force Colonel with 32 years of active duty service to his country. No credible person this side of Fox News and The Weekly Standard would possibly accuse me of being anti-American or pro-terrorist.

As one who is proud to be an American, I am, however, pro-Constitution and pro-Bill of Rights, which means that I possess the Constitutional presumptions of individual innocence until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, the sustenance of habeas corpus, and the rejection of the acceptability of the physical and psychological torture of suspects. The Al-Arian case is especially noteworthy since the complete absence of adherence to said Constitutional foundations in this specific instance, is not simply a threat to this man's "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", but a potential threat to the life and liberty of any American accused of subversive activities and crimes, minus due process of law--the domestic machinations of the Israeli Lobby notwithstanding.

Let your office and the Congress of the United States work to restore our most basic and cherished principles as Americans. The American public has had enough of Patriot Acts; the Military Commissions Act; NSA warrantless electronic surveillance; and the insistence of the current Presidential administration that it retains the prerogative to employ any form of surveillance or surreptitious entry it so desires against anyone in this country, without regard for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) provisions for judicial review and the foundational presuppositions of the Founding Fathers.

And let this entire recovery of what we once stood for in the land we love, begin with the release of Dr. Sami Al-Arian.

Sincerely,

Pastor Mark Dankof
Immanuel Lutheran Church
