The Creativity Alliance incorporating your and the rest of our Churches of Creativity is the re-unified Church, and we have our Pontifex Maximus.

Matt has been my friend for many years. As a brother I visited and stayed at his home in the heyday of the WCOTC, but to believe that the Church of that time was unified under Matt as PM is a myth. Matt had the largest Church group, but his was neither oldest nor the only Church group. The same can be said of the Creativity Alliance today.

It's All About Israel: Hagel Hearings Highlight Pro-Zionist Agenda

... In fact, the degree to which Israel and the threat posed to it by Iran dominated the hearing was somewhat understated by Buzzfeed. The full transcript revealed that Israel was brought up no less than 178 times, followed closely by Iran with 171 mentions. Those numbers compared with a grand total of five mentions of China, the central focus of the Obama administration's much ballyhooed "pivot" from the Middle East to the Asia/Pacific ...


Hagel Hearings Underscore Israel-Centered US Foreign Policy

As I noted in the piece published on IPS Friday, "It's All About Israel," Israel and the presumed threat posed by Iran to its security dominated Chuck Hagel's confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) ... That the panel chose to focus almost exclusively on the challenges facing Israel, rather than the United States, speaks volumes about the influence of the Israel lobby on the U.S. Senate. It also speaks volumes about the very basic lack of seriousness or curiosity on the SASC's part about the geo-strategic issues that one would expect to be at or near the top of the Pentagon's agenda.

Chevrolet SS Banned in Israel Over Nazi Related Name

http://www.autoevolution.com/news/chevrolet-ss-banned-in-israel-over-nazi-related-name-55293.html

Recently unveiled at the Daytona International Speedway, Chevrolet's brand new 2014 SS high-performance sedan will not be imported to Israel because of its nazi related name.

According to a Yedioth Ahronoth report, Chevrolet's high performance sedan will not be welcomed in Israel as long as it bears the SS nameplate, one that "will not bring them pride or success", said Baruch Shuv, manager of the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial.

The Daytona debuting car is not the first SS in the Chevrolet range, but it's certainly the first car who can get in trouble for its name. We wonder if there's any Camaro SS in Israel...

While we acknowledge the importance of Holocaust awareness, we really think a clear distinction between simple suffixes and wartime killing machines is needed.

Baruch Shuv, a manager of the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial and chairman of the Organization of Partisans, Underground Fighters and Ghetto Rebels, told Yedioth that "the use of this name is very inappropriate... It is not a name that bring will [sic] them pride or success."

The car was manufactured by the Australian branch of General Motors, Holden, and has been marketed in Australia as the Commodore SS V. [more ...]

'SNL' Lands in Hot Water With Anti-Defamation League Over Hagel Sketch

Lloyd Grove | The Daily Beast | February 11, 2013

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/02/11/snl-lands-in-hot-water-with-anti-defamation-league-over-hagel-sketch.html

An unaired sketch, posted online by NBC, lampoons the Defense secretary nominee's Senate grilling—and, the ADL's Abraham Foxman tells Lloyd Grove, reinforces the notion that Israel controls the government.

Saturday Night Live - Dress Rehearsal C-Span Chuck Hagel Hearings

The national director of the Anti-Defamation League, Abraham H. Foxman, slammed the sketch—which wasn't part of the live show but was released online by NBC—for potentially perpetuating anti-Semitic stereotypes.

NBC and SNL offered no response on Monday to Foxman's complaint and usually don't comment on the frequent criticisms of SNL's comedy.

In the six-minute sketch, performed at SNL's dress rehearsal, Hagel (played deadpan by Jason Sudeikis is grilled mercilessly by South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (a drawling Bill Hader) about his published statement that the interests of the United States and Israel are not always identical. "Is this a typo?" Graham/Hader demands. "Are my eyes deceiving me? Does he think that our interests and those of Israel could ever be different?" And so on and so forth, as Republicans on the Senate Armed Services Committee fall all over themselves to prove their slavish devotion to the Jewish state.

The sketch culminates when a crotchety "Sen. John McCain" insists that Hagel answer a hypothetical question: would he agree to "go on national television and perform oral sex on a donkey" if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu determined it was vital to Israel's security? When Hagel says no, McCain declares that he can't vote to confirm him.

"[T]here inevitably will be those who say, 'Yeah, it's funny, but there's some truth to all of this,'" Foxman wrote in a letter Monday to SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels. "And for a smaller minority among those individuals, elements of the skit could play into the worst kind of ideas, even reinforcing pernicious notions of Jewish control of government in the vein of those routinely espoused by anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists and anti-Semites by suggesting that U.S. officials would even engage in public sex acts if asked to do so by Israel."

It makes no difference that Lorne Michaels and many SNL writers and staffers happen to be Jewish, Foxman said: "That doesn't excuse their insensitivity." [more ...]
