Jerusalem: What’s the Struggle About?”
With Dr. Mordechai Kedar

Sunday, January 16, 7PM
Temple Emeth
194 Grove Street
Chestnut Hill MA 02467

Christians and Jews United for Israel (CJUI)is honored to present Dr. Mordechai Kedar, the distinguished Israeli scholar of Arabic and Islamic history and culture, on Sunday, January 16 at 7 pm at Temple Emeth in Chestnut Hill. His topic will be “Jerusalem: What’s the Struggle About?”

Dr. Kedar, who received his Ph.Dfrom Bar-IlanUniversity, is a lecturer at the Department of Arabic Studies and a research associate at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, Bar-IlanUniveristy.

Dr. Kedar, an expert on Islam, Islamic radicalism, the political discourse of Arab countries, and the Arabic press and mass media, served for 25 years in IDF Military Intelligence.

Dr. Kedar gained fame-and notoriety-with his 2008 interview on Al-Jazeera in Arabic with a Palestinian Islamist moderator, challenging the moderator’s assertions on Jerusalem. The interview can be seen on YouTube.

There will be a suggested donation of $10 per person for this event. Light refreshments will be served.

The Markey/Madoff Connection

Remember that "Cauldron of Corruption" I was talking about the other day? Well after going through the records provided by Markey's opponent, Dr. Gerry Dembrowski in a bit more detail, it appears that Ed Markey received approximately $30,000 in campaign contributions from the one and only Bernie Madoff and various members of his family.

Take a look at the list below and you can see the details for yourself. Each line represents a donation that was made to Ed Markey.



I for one would like to know if Mr. Markey donated these contributions or did he turn a blind eye to the corruption because it once again served his own interests?

Picture of the Day

THE CAULDRON OF CORRUPTION

The Phantom Menace and the Cauldron of Corruption

OUR WARS : EPISODE 1 : THE PHANTOM MENACE

"Currently in a Democracy very very near...."


"EPISODE 1 THE PHANTOM MENACE"

"Turmoil has engulfed the Republic.

Corruption and excessive spending by the leadership has become commonplace.
The best interests of the citizenry have been repeatedly ignored,

their common sense mocked and sensibilities abused.

Seeking to further dampen the will of the people, the greedy Congressional leaders repeatedly pass laws without the consent of the governed.

While the Congress of the Republic endlessly abuses its power and further pushes this alarming agenda, the citizens have boldy risen up to settle the conflict..."

With all due respect to Darth Maul, there is one congressional figure whose actions have epitomized the unethical, immoral, and until now, invisible goings on in Washington DC. For 34 years Ed Markey has flown under the radar, repeatedly being re-elected to serve a district that he neither lives in not cares about.

Mr. Markey has come to epitomize everything that is wrong with the system, amassing a small fortune in campaign contributions from the very firms (and individuals of those firms) and special interest groups he is charged with overseeing.

For example, Ed Markey currently chairs the Energy and Commerce committee. A closer look into his donations by the related industries leads one to seriously question whether or not Ed Markey is influenced to pass certain bills and set aside particular earmarks. At minimum, there is a clear and undeniable conflict of interest.

Here are just a few examples that can't help but make one wonder whether or not Markey is a key component of the “pay to play” schemes that we all fear are happening in Washington.

The following is paraphrased from the article titled Caldron of Corruption now up on Gerry Dembrowski's website at http://gerry2010.com/news/2010/10/cauldron-corruption:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General Electric is one of the largest companies in the world yet they received a $25M grant from the Stimulus Package to create jobs only to have them lay off 18,000 workers. (See http://www.mediaite.com/online/bill-oreilly-suggests-ge-received-stimulus-money-as-payback-for-nbcs-support-of-obama/)

In August of 2009 leaked emails from GE show how the company would financially support Waxman-Markey for Cap and Trade (See http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/How-GE-puts-the-government-to-work-for-GE-8154266-54820577.html).

Markey along with several democrat leaders such as Pelosi and Waxman received thousands in campaign contributions from GE. (Please refer to the “Ed Markey donor list on Gerry Dembrowski’s website here: http://gerry2010.com/sites/default/files/Markey%20Donor%20List.pdf)

The question Bill O’Reilly asks is, “Why would we give GE $25 million in the first place when they’re generating an enormous amount of money. They don’t need stimulus package.”

Earmarks have long been a concern of the deception and waste that takes place in Congress. This past year, questions over Ed Markey’s $32M earmark in defense for the Ted Kennedy Library received the most notoriety since it had nothing to do with the defense of our country.
At closer examination of Ed Markey’s earmarks however demonstrates how political contributions directly influence earmark appropriations to companies.

Raytheon received a $4M appropriation thanks to Ed Markey. Ed Markey in turn received thousands in campaign contributions from Raytheon and its executives.

Thermo Fisher Scientific received a mere $800,000 and Ed Markey receives thousands from that company and its executives.

(Please refer to the link titled Ed Markey’ Earmarks on Gerry Dembrowski’s website here http://gerry2010.com/sites/default/files/Markey%20Earmarks%202009.pdf)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ed Markey and his fellow Corrupticrats have shown us exactly who they are. It is time to restore honesty and ethics in Congress and and it is time to return control of it to the people.

Gambling Problem?

Double standard for Democrats
By Howie Carr | Friday, October 8, 2010 | http://www.bostonherald.com | Columnists



If I ever get in a jam, I ask for no special treatment. Just treat me like a Democrat, like the wrinkly wife of a moonbat congressman who worships the ground Nancy Pelosi and her Botox walk on.

Treat me like Patrice Eremian Chew Tierney, aka Mrs. John Tierney. Gets indicted for laundering millions in ill-gotten gains for her brother, a fugitive gangster, and when she gets caught, she tells the judge she’s depressed and gets fined $2,500.

Think about it - a working man in Reading was just hit with a $2,000 fine for the crime of having no dough to buy himself and his family some RomneyCare health insurance he didn’t need. Now that’s a serious offense.

Two months ago, Christy Mihos was caught using his own personal funds in his campaign for governor, as well as filing late reports. The fine: $70,000.

Question: what’s the big difference between Mrs. Tierney and Mihos?

Mrs. Tierney is a Democrat. Thus, when she launders $8 million in ill-gotten gains, a criminal offense (at least if you’re a Republican), her penalty is a paltry $2,500 fine (plus those hefty $400 court costs). Nothing to see here folks, move along.

And what does John Tierney say on behalf of his felon wife?

“Today’s not about me.”

Or, as Richard Nixon put it, “I am not a crook.”

I’m reading the federal indictment of the Eremian gang last summer, and there’s a list of wire transfers Eremian, the Armenian Whitey Bulger, made to his sister/laundress:


•9/21/05, $20,000. Payee: P.T.
•1/27/10, $26,500. Payee: P.T.
“I was not involved,” the congressman claimed. “It had nothing to do with me.”

They must be the only married couple in the world that never talks about money, especially big chunks of it.

This is from the feds on Page 7 of the Eremian mob’s indictment: “Approximately $8 million was laundered through these U.S. bank accounts.”

Nice district, the 6th. The previous Democrat congressman was Nicky Mavroules, Nicky Pockets. He ran his office as a racketeering enterprise - that was the first line in his indictment. He used his son-in-law as his bagman, and they used a code in which a $5,000 bribe was “five bottles of wine.”

What a piker Pockets was. Patrice laundered 8,000 bottles of wine for the Mob.

Henceforward, John Tierney is known as “Johnny Pockets.” When the words “Nicky Pockets” and “racketeering” began to be used in the same sentence back in 1992, the voters threw Mavroules under the bus. Let’s see if they can do the right thing 25 days from now.

Help Us Find Ed Markey!

The Dembrowski campaign put out the following video to accompany the press release below this morning:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2m3NWplkJM

Take a look. It is actually quite humorous. If you agree, donate $10 or $20 to Gerry's campaign and help them get this ad on tv.


With the recent revelation that Democratic State Auditor Candidate Susan Bump has been double dipping on her property tax exemptions by claiming more than one primary residence, it may very well be time for someone to dig a little deeper into Mr. Markey's comings ang goings....

Just sayin,

MARKEY UNQUAILFIED TO SERVE IN CONGRESS

Dembrowski charges Markey as “Undocumented Congressman”


Malden, MA. … Today Dr. Gerry Dembrowski charged Edward Markey of violating the US Constitution Article 1 Section 2 regarding his residency requirements to serve in the US House of Representatives. 1

“Campaigning throughout the district, I kept hearing the same complaint about Ed Markey”, stated Dembrowski, “he is never seen and he does not live in the state. This past Saturday I canvassed Markey’s neighborhood and found that his neighbors never see him and he does not live there.” (See Video)

According to the constitution, no person shall be a Representative if he is not an inhabitant of the state. Ed Markey lists his voting address at 7 Townsend St. Malden, MA.

“It is clear that he is using this address as a mail slot but does not reside there”, continued Dr. Dembrowski. “He is gaining advantage under false pretence at the cost of the constituents and at the expense of the taxpayers”.

“The fundamental responsibility of elected officials is to tend to the needs of their constituents. How can Mr. Markey do that if he lives in another state not Massachusetts? I call on Mr. Markey to do the right thing and withdraw from this election,” concluded Dembrowski.

Meet and Greet for Karyn Polito and Dr. Gerry Dembrowski

Join the Repbulican Jewish Coalition-New England Chapter this Sunday, October 3 for a Meet and Greet featuring Karyn Polito, candidate for MA State Treasurer and Dr. Gerry Dembrowski, Republican candidate for the MA-7th.

Karyn Polito...she is the complete package. Her accomplishments are manifold...her stint in Shrewsbury local government, her service to the Commonwealth as a member of the Lottery Commission and State Representative, her longstanding campaign for fiscal responsibility, investing in local communities, support of public education, her background in the Ways and Means processes and her abiding passion for protecting families. Scott Brown's Senate bill to protect children originated in the House...Karyn was its drafter.

However, it is her positions for Israel and Jewish concerns that is most refreshing. Karyn has no need to be concerned about Israel and the Jewish people. Yet, she was one of the first people in Government to raise the issue of divestment of Commonwealth funds in Iranian assets. She is tireless defender and true friend of the State of Israel whose position is to invest in Israel, not to buckle to the supporters of Boycott, Divestment and Sanction.

Dr. Gerry Dembrowski ... Gerry is a primary care chiropractic physician and small business owner from Woburn. In the MA-7th, he is challenging 34-year incumbent Ed Markey...THE author of Cap and Trade legislation. Gerry is a former semi-pro hockey player in the Canadian Junior and Midwestern Leagues. On the cute side, Gerry understands the need to "fore-check Big Government waste and ice the pending tax increases." As a Doctor, Gerry has a prescription...rollback reckless spending, check government intrusion into our lives and retire Ed Markey . This has not been an easy road for Gerry. His wife Margerie (a sweet lady) died of breast cancer this past winter. If you speak to Gerry, you can see the inspiration that he derives from her memory. She continues to be his driving force.

2010 is a pivotal year for the Commonwealth and our Nation. These two have made tremendous personal sacrifice to run for us at this juncture. They are qualified and competent...they deserve our help, support and, if people bring their checkbooks Sunday, our money.

Take the opportunity to kibbitz with both on Sunday, October 3rd 10:30 AM - 12 Noon . RSVP to omh50@aol.com with our name, e-address and number of people. You will receive a confirmation which will include the street address of the venue.

Candidate Profile - Jon Golnik

My Friends,


First I want to apologize for the recent issues that we have had with regards to format errors, etc. You will notice that we have gone back to our old newsletter format in an attempt to address this for the time being.


That aside, the time is now upon us to get involved as best we can individually to collectively secure the future for those we hold most dear, our children and their future posterity.


I am sure you are all very much aware of the fact that the November elections are rapidly approaching. As we get closer and closer to November 2nd, I will be highlighting the efforts and positions of certain candidates who need our support so they can go to Washington and enact the change that we demand!


Today's candidate is a man who I have had the chance to meet and speak with personally on numerous occasions. He is a man of conviction and a man who understands the responsibility of the task he will be charged with should we be fortunate enough to have him represent us.


Jon Golnik is not a career politician. As someone with a strong and diverse background, Jon will bring an innovative and refreshing approach to the challenges we face. His worries are your worries; he is your neighbor, your child's sports coach and your friend.


I recently asked Jon why he decided to enter this particular race at this particular time. I will let Jon's word's speak for themselves:


"After the 2008 election I looked at my two children and simultaneously seeing what was going on in Washington with this new administration; the ongoing nationalization of private companies, the take over of the banking industry and the intrusion by the federal government into every aspect of our lives.


I looked at my elected congresswoman and saw a blind obedience to partisan party leadership who admitted to not reading legislation that would forever change healthcare, and a myriad of other bills with the goal, intentional or otherwise, of reshaping the country that I love. I said enough is enough.


We were raised in a country in which hard work and effort created success, and I want my children and yours to have the same opportunities we have had. For my children, for your children, and for the sake of America as we know it, I opted to stand up and be counted. My goal, if honored with the people's vote and support, is to leave this country a better place for our children and grandchildren."


That said it all for me. Please join Jon in creating a new type of elected leader. Please visit his website at http://www.jongolnik.com/ to learn more about his candidacy, his positions, and ways that you can help Jon Golnik win the Massachusetts 5th Congressional district seat on November 2nd!


Unwaveringly Yours,

Sam
