Occupy Wall Street Is Still Here!

CNN) -- Occupy protesters succeeded in shutting down overnight operations at California's port of Oakland on Monday night after a day of similar protests in several other U.S. cities.

The protests in Oakland have "disrupted workers trying to get to work and impaired the port's ability to operate," port spokesman Issac Kos-Read told CNN. Craig Merrilees, a spokesman for the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, said the port has told its members not to report for work for the overnight shift because of the mass of protesters at the port.

Earlier Monday, the port authority said in a statement there were "some delays of truck traffic" but said the port remained operational.

"Today's disruptions have been costly to port workers and their families in terms of lost wages and shifts," said Port of Oakland Executive Director Omar Benjamin, who suggested the movement should focus on "real solutions to the problems plaguing our economy."

On a normal night, several hundred people would be working the graveyard shift, Kos-Read said. Day shifts involve several thousand, he said. He said the protests have cost workers their wages, cost the city and region some revenue and could cause shipping firms to divert vessels to other ports.

"What has this accomplished?" he asked. "This is disrupting the 99%"

Oakland Mayor Jean Quan concurred, saying the Occupy movement isn't thinking of the consequences of its actions and who it is actually hurting.

"They are saying ... they have to get the attention of the ruling class. I think the ruling class is probably laughing and people in this city will be crying this Christmas," Quan said. "It's really got to stop."

Oakland has been a flashpoint of the Occupy movement since October, when police used tear gas to break up demonstrators who refused to leave downtown. One demonstrator, a Marine veteran of the war in Iraq, suffered a skull fracture after being hit with a police projectile, according to a veteran's group; police said they acted after the crowd threw paint and other objects at officers.

The ILWU -- which represents 15,000 dockworkers -- has distanced itself from the protest movement. The union "shares the Occupy movement's concerns about the future of the middle class and corporate abuses," ILWU President Robert McEllrath wrote to locals last week -- but he urged the movement to stay out of its dispute with the port of Longview, Washington, and warned against "outside groups attempting to co-opt our struggle in order to advance a broader agenda."

Monday's demonstrations also took place in Los Angeles, Seattle, Houston and Portland, Oregon. Organizers said the goal was to shut down ports in an effort to "disrupt the economic machine that benefits the wealthiest individuals and corporations."

In Houston, police arrested 20 protesters after dozens of police on foot and on horseback confronted a somewhat larger group of Occupy protesters who blocked an interstate on-ramp, authorities said.

Groups of up to six protesters got down on the pavement and interlocked arms and legs, while a larger group stood near them yelling protest slogans. Officers set up barricades to cordon off protesters in an attempt to free the ramp for traffic. The majority of the protesters could be seen moving behind the barricades, with a few exceptions, including those who had lain down.

Police handcuffed some protesters and led them to a police vehicle. Six face felony charges of using criminal instruments to block a public roadway, said Houston Police Department spokesman Victor Senties.

In Long Beach, California, protests caused isolated traffic delays but did not hinder port operations, according to Police Chief Jim McDonnell.

"Two arrests were made -- one for resisting and one for failure to disperse, as well as a number of traffic citations issued to pedestrians," he said.

About 80 protesters demonstrated outside the gate of San Diego's port, but caused no disruption, port spokesman Ron Powell said.

"They were there at a time when we really didn't have a lot of truck traffic coming in and out," he said.

Four people who sat down in the road were arrested, he said. San Diego police did not immediately return a telephone call seeking information on the arrests.

A spokesman for the port in Portland said the protests had partially shut down the port there. In addition to the West Coast port blockades, demonstrators in Salt Lake City and Denver said they were planning to disrupt operations of Walmart distribution facilities. About 40 to 50 people protested at the Denver facility, CNN affiliate KCNC reported.

The demonstrations were part of a nationwide day of protest called in the aftermath of efforts by cities across the country -- including New York, Boston and Oakland -- to clear demonstrators from encampments they had set up in public parks and other locations.

"We are occupying the ports as part of a day of action, boycott and march for full legalization and good jobs for all to draw attention to and protest the criminal system of concentrated wealth that depends on local and global exploitation of working people, and the denial of workers' rights to organize for decent pay, working conditions and benefits, in disregard for the environment and the health and safety of surrounding communities," organizers said on their website.

The port protesters are focusing on terminals owned by SSA Marine, saying it is owed by the Goldman Sachs investment firm, which they argue exemplifies corporate greed and is anti-union.

SSA Senior Vice President Bob Watters disputed the protesters' claims, saying Goldman Sachs owns less than 3% of an investment fund that has a minority stake in the company. He also said the company is the largest employer of International Longshore and Warehouse Union members on the West Coast.

In a letter to members sent last month, International Longshore and Warehouse Union president Robert McEllrath said the organization shares Occupy protesters concerns about what they consider corporate abuses, but he said the union was not sanctioning any shutdown.

Protest organizers said on their website that they were acting independently of organized labor only because the unions are "constrained under reactionary, anti-union federal legislation."

Some port workers are also against the planned blockade.

"I'm just barely getting on my feet again after two years, and now I gotta go a day without pay while somebody else has something to say that I'm not really sure is relevant to the cause," trucker Chuck Baca told CNN affiliate KGO.

Port officials say shutting down their facilities will only cost workers and their communities wages and tax revenue.

"Protesters wanted to send a message to the 1% but they are impacting the 99%," said Portland port spokesman Josh Thomas. The stoppage is resulting in "lost shifts, lost wages and delays," he said.

Port of San Diego board chairman Scott Peters issued an open letter to the community on Sunday asking that protesters not disrupt work.

"The Port of San Diego is made up of working people with families who serve the public each day by helping to bring in goods that are important to the people of the San Diego region," Peters wrote.

"They are the 99%, the gardeners, the maintenance workers, the dock workers, the Harbor Police officers, the office workers, the environmental workers -- all working to improve the quality of life in San Diego Bay and on its surrounding lands," he said. "It is these people who would be hurt by a blockade of our Port."

CNN's Greg Morrison, Amanda Watts, Shawn Nottingham and Sara Weisfeldt contributed to this report.

Comment:

Mr. Thomas has a point when he said the protester's actions had a negative effect on the dockworkers who are part of the 99%. On the other hand, I say the dockworkers should have JOINED the protesters, rather than just try and do their jobs.

I'm well aware that they would have been putting their jobs in jeopardy if they did, but if we want real change, then people have to be willing to sacrifice. You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.

The people of America have, for the most part become soft, spineless weaklings, cowering for their jobs in the shadow of their Lord High Master (their boss). "I can't come to Laurens. I'd have to miss a day of work and my boss might fire me." "I can't protest. If my boss finds out he might fire me." "I have to go to work sick as a dog because my boss might be pissed off if I call in sick because we're short handed." Maybe if they hired more help they wouldn't be short handed in the first place. But noooo, that would cut into the company's profits too much.

The people of America have had their spirits broken from years of abuse and exploitation. Fortunately, that kind of thing takes time, and our young people haven't been broken yet. They are the backbone of "Occupy Wall Street". There are some older people, but mostly it seems to be younger workers.

On the brighter side, most people are followers, not leaders. The more that stand up to the system, the more that will join in, and it will continue to spread like a virus. But this time, it's the elite that will feel the effects, not the working and middle class.

Keep up the good work OWS. We mustn't stop until we achieve victory!

Reconquistos To Stage Their Own "Protest"

By Miguel Perez

Members of Nuestros Reconquistos, Take Back Aztlán, and the Aztlánian Brotherhood met at the Phoenix Public Library this morning to discuss a future movement for Latinos called “Occupy Aztlán.” It will start in Phoenix and eventually involve protesting in states originally owned by Mexico.

“Occupy Wall Street” has been such as success,” says Nuestros Reconquistos President Manuel Longoria. Latinos will create a symbolic similar movement that will remind Americans who originally owned Mexican lands occupied by California, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and Oklahoma.”

Latinos plan non-violent protests in mostly upscale areas where rich White people live. Part of the demonstrations include door-to-door protests. “Occupy Aztlán” will start in January.

Comment:

Protest door-to-door? WTF does that mean? Are they planning on knocking on White people's doors and tell them to get out off the land they legally bought and paid for? Back in New Hampshire we had a word for that: TRESPASSING! Here in California I'm not so sure these days, but definitely in New England and the South.

The only way this insanity will end is if we end it. For one thing, I don't feel we stole anything from them. They lost it in the Mexican-American war, which they started in the first place. California wasn't even taken. It was sold to us by Mexico shortly after the war because they were broke, and the United States thought it best to keep them below the Rio Grande all the way. At least in the case of California, they are complaining to the wrong people. They should address their gripes to Mexico City.

I know this is true because a few years ago, former Mexican President Vicente Fox commented in an interview that technically Santa Catalina Island and the other channel islands still belong to Mexico. He said the deed of sale of California to the United States did not include the offshore islands, just the mainland. He also added that Mexico has no plans of pressing this claim. Gee, I'm so relieved to know that. lol

Comrades, just as they are stepping up their activism, so must we. As the Latino holiday Los Posados (don't ask me, but it is related to Christmas) begins on December 17, and Christmas is less than two weeks away, I doubt they'll be doing too much until after the holidays. Activism will take up too much valuable drinking time. I only said that because I've noticed a sharp in crease in beer and tequila sales in the markets recently. Mostly Corona, of course. So we can afford a little time off for the holidays as well, but after New Year's Day, we have to jump back into things with both feet, and renewed resolve.

So relax and enjoy the upcoming holidays, and be prepared to renew the fight with the New Year.

Banksters Are Plotting To Take Your Home

For those not paying close attention to this issue already, it may be news to you that despite being outed a year ago for using the practice of robosigning to fabricate thousands of documents used to foreclose on homeowners, banks are still using this practice today.

American Banker:

Some of the largest mortgage servicers are still fabricating documents that should have been signed years ago and submitting them as evidence to foreclose on homeowners.

The practice continues nearly a year after the companies were caught cutting corners in the robo-signing scandal and about six months after the industry began negotiating a settlement with state attorneys general investigating loan-servicing abuses.

Several dozen documents reviewed by American Banker show that as recently as August some of the largest U.S. banks, including Bank of America Corp., Wells Fargo & Co., Ally Financial Inc., and OneWest Financial Inc., were essentially backdating paperwork necessary to support their right to foreclose.

Some of documents reviewed by American Banker included signatures by current bank employees claiming to represent lenders that no longer exist.

David Dayen explains what this means:

And you see, the banks HAVE to fabricate documents. Because they destroyed the private property system through improper and sloppy securitizations and lost or missing mortgage assignments during the bubble years, and as such they cannot prove standing to foreclose without lying. Robo-signing is a crime, but it’s also a cover-up for a much bigger crime, which involves MERS and improper mortgage transfer and securities fraud. The robo-signed, forged, fabricated documents are the smokescreen being used to foreclose and get the real problem off the books. Banks are trying to wriggle off the hook by saying they are merely “memorializing” past actions with the fake documents. Some courts aren’t buying it; the pooling and servicing agreements stipulate that all assignments showing transfers must take place within 60 days, not years later through “memorialized” actions.

What this really comes down to is that making a settlement with banks around robosigning now, while there has been no real investigation by the state law enforcement officials who are negotiating a settlement and while the practice is continuing as the negotiations go on, is dangerous and premature. The banks can't possibly be negotiating in good faith with Tom Miller and the other state AGs because they're still committing the crimes they want to be released from prosecution for!

There's a massive criminal scheme being revealed by the press and a handful of diligent public officials like Attorneys General Eric Schneiderman, Catherine Cortez Masto and Beau Biden, as well as county Registers of Deeds like Jeff Thigpen in North Carolina and John O'Brien in Massachusetts. These officials seem committed to pursuing investigation and accountability. It's time their peers get on board.

Commentary:

Comrades, this whole situation is completely unacceptable. Even at this moment, the Banksters are trying to cover up their crimes, and at the same time attempting to wriggle their way off the hook. I'm sorry to say they will probably succeed.

Firstly, Wall Street has been in bed with Washington D.C. since at least 1913 (the founding of the Federal Reserve Bank), and any financial penalties will range in the hundreds of billions of dollars range, which ZOG feels will boost its sagging economy.

Think of it this way: If some billionaire killed a loved one of yours while drunk driving, and you were the only witness, and he offered you one hundred million dollars not to testify, how many average people would have the strength of character to turn down that much money and do what's right?

That alone is one of the best reasons why the Judeo-Capitalist system has to go. It is the closest thing to being the Devil there is. If they can't get what they want through power and influence, they buy it.

I'm sad to say that everyone has their price, which is why the temptation MUST be removed. Judeo-Capitalism must be destroyed once and for all.

National Socialism is the last best hope for White America. Support the ANP. If you already do, then do more than just pay your pledge. Get out there and spread our message. If you don't, who will?

Don't Feed The Beast

Christmas is fast approaching. Most of us have started our Christmas shopping by now.

Indeed, some have already finished (not me).

The ANP and National Socialism preach against materialism. It is sad to say that at this

time of year materialism goes hog wild – and that includes many of us.

The holidays used to be a time of love, giving, sharing, and family togetherness. But in

the past few decades it has become nothing but “gimme, gimme, gimme!”

Rather than accepting gifts from your friends and family in the spirit of, “It’s the thought

that counts, it has become a time of list making and order filling.

Just look at the commercials that Madison Avenue puts out. All they do is encourage

greed, materialism, and selfishness. The people are told that the more you spend, the

better a holiday you and your family will have. Spending more than you can afford will

only give Wall Street a better Christmas, not you and your family.

The profits department stores rake in at this time of year are truly obscene.

According to the Retail Industry Guide, spending has descreased slightly in the past few

years, due to the failing economy and rising unemployment. However, the amount spent

at Christmas time by the average American family is truly disturbing.

The following is a five-year Comparison of the NRF BIGResearch Christmas Holiday

$82.32. Of course you’re such a good person, you deserve to buy yourself a present.

No dollar amount is given but 51% of Americans do this. I think $50.00 for a self-gift is

a reasonable figure.

Okay, let’s add it all up. That comes to $866.70. Now let’s not forget that we use extra

gas running around to a dozen different stores filling our family’s Christmas orders, so I

think it’s fair to round that up to about $900.00.

Things have gotten completely out of hand. When I was a kid, the Christmas decorations

went up in the stores after Thanksgiving. Now they go up a day or two after Halloween.

That’s because for the most part, department stores don’t make very much money off of

Thanksgiving. Supermarkets do, but not department stores.

The Judeo-Capitalists have commercialized and twisted this wonderful time of year into

a time of greed and selfishness, and all for the sake of their mega-profits.

It’s a far cry from what Charles Dickens wrote in ‘A Christmas Carol’,

“Uncle, I’ve always looked upon Christmas as a good time and a charitable time. It’s the

only time where people seem to realize that we’re all part of the same family, and being

part of the same family, we all owe each other some measure of warmth and solace. And

though it’s never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pockets, I think that it has done me

good, and will do me good, and I say God bless it!”

Remember the old saying, “Christmas is a time of giving, not receiving.” It’s also a time

of giving of yourself.

Let’s not forget that when you give in to greed at Christmas, you are literally feeding the

Beast that is draining you dry. It’s not enough that they send our jobs overseas. It’s not

enough that that pay us low wages with the jobs they don’t outsource. But they have to

make us think that we’re cheap and stingy people if we don’t empty our wallets every

December 25.

I’m not saying we should not buy Christmas presents for our friends and family. That is, and always will be a part of the holiday. What I’m saying is we should use restraint. Let’s not try and buy everything that Madison Avenue says we must have.

How many of you overspend every year, and barely get it paid off in time to start it all

over again?

The vicious cycle must stop. This year, give of yourself, instead of your wallet. Buy

presents, of course, but do it sensibly, and within your means. But above all, DON’T

FEED THE BEAST!

BTW, just two weeks to go!

Don't Feed The Beast

Christmas is fast approaching. Most of us have started our Christmas shopping by now.

Indeed, some have already finished (not me).

The ANP and National Socialism preach against materialism. It is sad to say that at this

time of year materialism goes hog wild – and that includes many of us.

The holidays used to be a time of love, giving, sharing, and family togetherness. But in

the past few decades it has become nothing but “gimme, gimme, gimme!”

Rather than accepting gifts from your friends and family in the spirit of, “It’s the thought

that counts, it has become a time of list making and order filling.

Just look at the commercials that Madison Avenue puts out. All they do is encourage

greed, materialism, and selfishness. The people are told that the more you spend, the

better a holiday you and your family will have. Spending more than you can afford will

only give Wall Street a better Christmas, not you and your family.

The profits department stores rake in at this time of year are truly obscene.

According to the Retail Industry Guide, spending has descreased slightly in the past few

years, due to the failing economy and rising unemployment. However, the amount spent

at Christmas time by the average American family is truly disturbing.

ANP News And Reminders

Comrades, the month of December is nearly a third over. I hope all Official Supporters have their pledges at least in the mail by now. I have.

Our last ANP Radio show was another huge success. I think the topic was excellent. It was about the Kosher food tax I wrote about yesterday. If you missed the show, you can listen to a recording on the main website.

In relation to that topic, I have a suggestion for everyone to make. Technically, only meat and meat by-products need to be Kosher. As you know, most products have contact information on the package or container. We should all start calling, writing, or emailing these companies and ask them why non-food products such as dish washing liquid and bug spray have to be Kosher. If they reply, let me know what they say. It will certainly be interesting. Make sure you include what the product is, who makes it, and who distributes it. Use the comments section. This is another way of helping the movement without having to leave your house, so you have no excuse. Cost is not an excuse. Email is free, and all the phone numbers are toll-free.

Do not speak to them with a, "Those damn Jews" attitude, or they'll hang up on you, and refuse to answer your letters/emails. Simply ask them politely why. Thanks.

Next, as it says in the ad at the top of this page, our 10th Annual Christmas party is being be held TODAY. If you live close enough, drop by. Bring the kids because Santa will be there.

There will be no uniforms, and no official party business. This is a social event only. We will have SA Men present to make sure everyone has a safe and good time, but they will be in plain clothes.

Next, I have no intention of making serious posts on the 24th, 25,th, and probably the 26th. I will schedule something, but they will be for fun only. Even National Socialists can afford to take a few days off for the holidays.

Finally, I ask all our opponents, like Stop The Hate, SPLC, and other NS groups like the NSM and NSALP if we can have a truce for the above mentioned days. After all, it's Christmas. I think we can all bury the hatchet for two or three days in the spirit of the holidays.

Merry Christmas to everyone - and I do mean EVERYONE!

SECRET JEWISH TAX ON MOST OF THE WORLD’S FOOD!!! MUST READ

Blog Administrator's Message: When I scheduled the following story to post automatically, something went wrong. It posted over-sized, and over-lapped some older posts. I have corrected this problem. Since most of the post was unreadable, I will leave it up for Friday's post as well. Sorry I didn't catch this earlier. - Dan 88!

Non-Jews are unaware that all food products marked with the "K" or "U" Symbols have been
taxed by Jewish Rabbis.

On every pantry shelf in America, lay dozens of canned and packaged food products which have a tiny "K" or "U" printed on the label.

This symbol informs Orthodox Jews that the items have been checked by a rabbi, to make sure that they have been prepared in accordance with "Jewish Dietary law", as set forth in the Jewish Talmud -(the real "bible" of the Jews.)

American food companies are forced to pay multi-billions of dollars to several Orthodox Jewish organizations, just so an estimated 10% to 20% of Jewry, (or 800,000 to no more than 1.2 million Orthodox Jews), will buy their products. Please bear in mind that this is a country of 270 million people, and we are all forced to pay this Kosher Tax, just to appease LESS THAN ONE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION!

This comes out of your pocket!

What does "Kosher" mean?

The word "Kosher" means "fit" to eat. Orthodox Jews are forbidden from eating meat products from any animal that doesn't have a split hoof and chew its cud. Pigs, (pork), is not kosher because while they do have the split hooves, they don't chew their cud. Rabbit meat is not kosher because, while they chew their cud, they don't have split hooves. Jews are not allowed to eat any dairy products along with meat at the same meal. If they eat meat at one meal, they must wait six hours before they can eat any dairy food.

All of this is superstitious nonsense, and has absolutely nothing to do with improving the quality of any food product. Still, this clever scheme of requiring kosher labeling has become a multi-million dollar business today!

The Jewish Encyclopedia of 1942 states that the practice of eating rabbi-approved "kosher" foods goes back to ancient times when Jews were forbidden from eating with or having sex with Gentiles. The Encyclopedia says rabbis taught that, "Gentiles are ridden with diseases and death from unclean habits, and that, God wishes to protect his people from being contaminated by the Gentiles. The non-kosher goods of the Gentiles were ruled to have a contaminating effect!"

How Racist!

Falsehoods Used To Entice Christians To Accept Kosher Products.

One of our subscriber's wrote the "Aunt Jane Foods Co." in Faison, N.C. asking how much they pay annually for the use of the "U" symbol. Ms. Donna Fonvielle, head of Customer Relations, responded that Jews told them that by submitting to rabbinical supervision they are informing the public that "kosher products are produced under sanitary conditions."

The Jewish Press of Feb. 26, 1988, quotes Menachem Lubinsky, a major marketer of kosher products as saying, "the industry should tell inquisitive Christians this line, Kosher has become something like the 'Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval'. It makes a product appear to be healthier and of better quality."

The Washington Post of Nov. 2, 1987 quotes Rabbi Schulem Rubin, an Orthodox rabbi from the Bronx as declaring: "Kosher doesn't taste any better; kosher isn't healthier; kosher doesn't have less salmonella. You can eat a Holly Farm chicken which sells for 39 cents a pound on sale, and next taste a Kosher chicken selling for $1.69 a pound, and not tell the difference. There's a lot of money to be made!

Religion is not based on logic! It is based on faith.

The Sun-Sentinel of March 20, 1987, quotes Rabbi Irving Silverman, who organized the recent giant Kosher Foods Exposition in New York City, as stating: "There's one misconception I would like to clear up. There's a perception that the Jewish dietary laws are steeped in health considerations. That's not so at all. It is a commitment to a strict adherence to a tradition, a thread from one generation to another. I'm not kosher because it's healthier - I'm kosher because my parents were kosher and my grandparents were kosher. It's a commitment!"

Rabbi Bernard Levy, head of the Orthodox, "Committee For The Furtherance of Torah Observance," demonstrates how he stamps the Kosher symbol which has made him untold millions of dollars. (Tax free) There would be no objection if the small Orthodox Jewish community made their own kosher products and paid for them, as they did before the kosher business was launched in 1919, for the general public. The problem lies in the fact that the meaning of these kosher labels is a tightly guarded secret of which most Christians have no knowledge.

America's huge manufacturers of processed food products keep a tight lid on this subject so that no explanation is ever allowed to seep out to the public. They only run ads announcing which products are kosher in Jewish publications, and NEVER in the daily press or on TV. This subject is so sensitive that few daily newspapers dare to carry articles about this controversy. Growing numbers of non-Jews who become aware of the secret kosher tax object to being forced to pay it. This is a clear violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Who Receives The Kosher Food Tax Money?

In 1960 there were only 225 companies paying the kosher food tax. This jumped to 475 in 1966 and 800 by 1975. Jewish promoters of kosher labeling say there now has been a "kosher food explosion" today with over 16,000 products now paying rabbinical organizations for their "stamp of kosher approval." Kosher products retail sales today amount to $30 billion a year according to "The Chicago Jewish Sentinel" of July 7, 1988. **Note: In the year 2000, this is now a trillion dollar racketeering scheme, in which ever nation on Earth pays the KOSHER TAX.

Orthodox Jewish organizations have copyrighted certain symbols which only they can use. The giant in the business is "The Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations" which issues the "U" imprint. They service some 1,200 companies or about 80% of the business. They employ nearly 600 rabbis as part-time "checkers." This is twice as many as ten years ago. The next largest is Rabbi Bernard Levy's "Committee For The Furtherance of Torah Observance" which uses the "K" symbol.

Canadian Kosher products are stamped with the letters "COR" which stands for "Council of Orthodox Rabbis". This is a front group for the powerful Canadian Jewish Congress, which actually receives all the money from this tax. The Jews in Canada are so united they do not allow any competition which is not the case in the U.S. Here a number of Orthodox rabbis have split away from the major groups to go into the kosher racket for themselves. (Why split easy money with the higher ups?) **Note: This is not Just a problem in the United States and Canada. All nations with an Orthodox Jewish population are being extorted this way. Anywhere you have agents of the World Jewish Congress, you have this form of Racketeering. Do to NAFTA, Mexico is flooded with this problem. 100 Million Mexicans, mostly Catholic, have to pay tribute to Jews in this manner.

Rabbi Jack Goldman was formerly with the Orthodox Jewish Congregation, but broke away and now runs the "Metropolitan Kashruth Council of Michigan." He has several rabbis working for him and they issue an "MK" label. Some believe this stands for "Michigan Kosher." It is said that had he remained in the New York-New Jersey area his life would have been in danger. **Note: The symbols differ from country to country, to find out what symbols are use in your nation, check advertisements in Jewish news papers and magazines.

Minnesota has Rabbi Asher Zeilingold who immigrated there in 1953 from England, and today issues his own "K with a shield" to some ISO factories.

This is strictly a religious tax, which millions of non-Jews unknowingly pay each time they buy a basket load of groceries! What would happen if a group of Christian ministers or priests got together and demanded that all companies pay them a similar tax? They could use a "C," symbol (for Christian), or a cross, (for Christ), threatening that those who refuse to print such a label on their products would be boycotted by Christians. If that happened you would hear an enraged outcry from the ACLU, American Jewish Committee, Jewish Anti-Defamation League, etc. They would be filing suits to stop this "violation of the Constitutional provisions providing for the separation of Church and State." But, because of the Jews' centuries old claim of being "a poor persecuted people" along with the Christian fear of being accused of "anti-Semitism," there is a deafening silence.

Comment:

Comrades, I was already aware to some extent of this situation. When we started to discuss this on ANP radio last Tuesday, I started checking my shelves. If the Kosher blessing is necessary for meat and meat by-products only, why did I find a "U" symbol on my salt container, my pepper tin, non-stick pan spray, Arm And Hammer Baking Soda, Palmolive Dish detergent, and get this - a can of bug spray? Why does anyone need Kosher bug spray? I know the Talmud requires that livestock be killed in a particular way. I didn't know that Orthodox Jews had to kill insects in a certain way as well.

Once-upon-a-time, this Kosher blessing my have been legitimate, but now it has become nothing but a racket to defraud non-Jews out of their hard earned money.

You know, it always makes me laugh when I hear Jews whine, "Why does everybody hate us?"

Since I know the ADL monitors this blog from time to time, I'd like to tell them that this Kosher racket is just one of a pretty good list of reasons. Just because you Orthodox Jews must eat Kosher, I don't see why that should affect anyone else but yourselves.

I encourage any Jew who may read this to use the comment section to explain this from your point of view. And please, if you're going to say that it would cost too much for the Orthodox Jews to pay for this all themselves, I say tough sh*t. Your religious laws and/or traditions are YOUR problems, not ours. Kosher is superstition, and I won't pay for such nonsense.

Here's a suggestion: Since in reality, only meat and meat by-products need to be Kosher, how about Orthodox Jews taking their applicable food to their synagogue, and their rabbi could do a mass blessing, and Kosherize their food for free? Oh, I forgot, Jews never do anything for free. Okay, how much could it cost the rabbi in time and effort for such a blessing - a few minutes? If the entire congregation paid just one dollar, they could have their food blessed, the rabbi could make a few bucks, and it wouldn't cost us non-Jews a thing. Sounds reasonable to me.

But here's the problem. The rabbis don't want a few bucks. They want a few million bucks. TJB. Typical Jew Behaviour.

Comrades, this is NOT a racial issue. It's religious and economic. We are being forced to help pay for a Jewish religious custom, and that's not fair. Alright, I'll say it. I'm Anti-Semitic. But I'm also one of the working poor. I can't afford any unnecessary expenses. As a non-Jew, Kosher Tax is completely unnecessary. Why should we pay for a service that is of no use to us?

We must make more people aware of this. How? Tell them. As I said, this is a religious and economic issue. Don't go up to people and say, "You know what those damn Jews are doing? They're making us pay for their damn Kosher food." Instead, have some products handy and show them the "U" or "K" symbol, and ask them if they know what it means. Then explain it to them. Don't make this a hate or racial issue. Make it an economic issue. These days, that hits home to everyone.

BTW, here in California, we have a market chain called "Food-4-Less". Since the shelves are stocked with Kroeger's brand, I think it's safe to assume it's owned by Kroeger's. Kroeger's have completely caved in to the Kosher food racket. Since Kroeger's and Food-4-Less bill themselves as a discount store, point out that they could give the consumer an even bigger discount if they refused to pay the Kosher Tax.

Remember, this is a religious and an economic issue, not a racial one.
