So, here's the deal:



Tired of constantly being broke & stuck in an unhappy marriage, a young husband decided to solve both problems by taking out a large insurance policy on his wife with himself as the beneficiary, and then arranging to have her killed.

A 'friend of a friend' put him in touch with a nefarious dark-side underworld figure who went by the name of 'Artie.'


Artie then explained to the husband that his going price for snuffing out a spouse was $5,000.

The husband said he was willing to pay that amount, but that he wouldn't have any cash on hand until he could collect his wife's insurance money.

Artie insisted on being paid at least something up front, so the man opened his wallet, displaying the single dollar bill that rested inside. Artie sighed, rolled his eyes, & reluctantly agreed to accept the dollar as down payment for the dirty deed.

A few days later, Artie followed the man's wife to the local Super Wal-Mart store. There, he surprised her in the produce department & proceeded to strangle her with his gloved hands & as the poor unsuspecting woman drew her last breath & slumped to the floor, the manager of the produce department stumbled unexpectedly onto the murder scene. Unwilling to leave any living witnesses behind, ol' Artie had no choice but to strangle the produce manager as well.

However, unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings were captured by the hidden security cameras & observed by the store's security guard, who immediately called the police. Artie was caught & arrested before he could even leave the store.

Under intense questioning at the police station, Artie revealed the whole sordid plan, including his unusual financial arrangements with the hapless husband who was also quickly arrested.

The next day in the newspaper, the headline declared ....

'ARTIE CHOKES 2 for $1.00 AT WAL-MART!' J

Killing Flies



Dear Jeff,

On September 23, 1979, I had dinner with Isser Harel, former head of Israeli Mossad, at the home of the senior advisor of the Prime Minister Menachem Begin, Dr Reuben Hecht. I asked Isser two questions and shall never forget his answers; all came to pass just as he said they would.

The first question was, "Will President Anwar Sadat be able to remain in power with Jimmy Carter pushing him for human rights and democracy in Egypt?" The second question was, "Will terrorism come to America?"

His answer to the first was that he feared Sadat would be killed because of his push for democratic reform. In answer to the second, he said:


"Yes, I fear it will come in time. America is developing a tolerance for terrorism. The US has the power to fight terrorism, but not the will; the terrorists have the will, but not the power. That could change in time. Oil buys more than tents."



And then he made this thought-provoking observation: "You in the West kill a fly and rejoice. In the Middle East, we kill one, and one hundred flies come to the funeral."

In Middle Eastern Muslim countries, the "winner takes all" philosophy rules the day. Democracy, if considered at all, has to go through the filter of mullahs, mosques, and madrassas before it has any chance of acceptance. In countries such as Afghanistan and Libya, tribalism triumphs tribunals more often than not. This is the morass where the flies of which Isser Harel spoke are bred. It is in the morass that people are murdered, maimed, and martyred for the sake of radical Islam and Shari'a law.




During the Persian Gulf War in 1991, I had lunch one afternoon Prince Mohammed Khalid (then-Commander-in-Chief of the Saudi Royal Air Force and the Arab multi-national forces). At the time he was over the Syrian High Command, and the Egyptian Third Army Commanders. During lunch, Khalid and I talked privately about Islamic fundamentalists and the threat that their fanatical religion could be to the West.

Our conversation antagonized Khalid, and he told me in no uncertain terms that Islam was a peaceful religion and fundamentalists represent no more than 10 percent of Islam. I replied, "That really comforts me to know that only 150 million people want to kill me in the name of their religion."

The fuel for those millions of radical Muslims is their hatred for the Great Satan, America, and the Little Satan, Israel. When they or their leaders are embarrassed by the President of the United States or bested in war by the Israelis, their ire grows to limitless proportions. In this particular instance, a media show has erupted surrounding the "coalition" imposed no-fly zone and the bombing of Libya.

No matter their feelings about Gadhafi as a person or a leader, what is important is their unsupported belief that the Crusaders are killing Muslims for oil. Of all the actions taken by the United States to protect its own citizens or for humanitarian efforts, it has never occupied another country and drained it of its oil reserves. Never! Yet, when Muslims see U.S. aircraft targeting other Muslims, it only fuels the conspiracy myth and feeds the rage against the West.

The only problem in Libya is Gadhafi and his unlimited resources with which to buy mercenaries to attack his own people. Sadly, there will not be Jeffersonian democracy in Libya or in any of these Middle Eastern countries in turmoil. Hamas in Gaza supposedly has a democratic state, as did Hitler in Germany. There is too vast a difference between what we in the U.S. call democracy and the Shari'a law-type democracy that will likely emerge in Muslim countries.

This Day…

April 12, 70(15th of Nissan, 3830): According to some, the date on the civil calendar when Pesach is observed for the last time before the destruction of the Second Temple.[1]



April 12, 1204: During the Fourth Crusade, Venetian and French crusaders seize Constantinople. The Crusades were a disaster for much of the Jewish population of Europe.[2]



In 1208 Pope Innocent III introduced a new Crusade but this time the target was other Christians and alledgedlly the grail bloodline itself.You were given absolution if you fought in this Crusade and murdered other Christians. The Crusade lasted some 40 years during which thousands of Kathars were rounded up and tortured throughout France. Soldiers pursued them to remote mountain fortresses. [3]



1213

By the thirteenth century, Roman Catholism had become firmly entrenched in England. This was clearly seen in King John’s recognition of the kingdom as a papal fief in 1213, and the King resigning his crown to the Pope.[4]



1215: The Fourth Lateran Council of 1215 adopted the doctrine of transubstantiation, i.e., the bread and wine used in the mass actually become converted into the body and blood of Christ. Groups of Jews in various European countries such as Germany, Poland, France, and Belgium were accused of stabbing the Host, forcing a nail through it, or misusing it in other ways. Arrested and tortured, they confessed and sometimes were burned. [5]



April 1270: In April 1270 Parliament agreed an unprecedented levy of one-twentieth of every citizen's goods and possessions to finance Edward's Crusade to the Holy Lands.[6]

April 12, 1451: A Flemish scholar recorded his observation of the Jews of Fez (Morocco): "Fez is divided in two parts. The Old City quite populous with about 50,000 families…The Jewish quarter is surrounded by its own walls. Approximately 4,000 Jews dwell there...The more the sultan needs money, the more they have to pay."[7]

1452-1453

A major eruption that might have affected global climate was in 1452-1453 when records were much less complete.[8]

April 12, 1454: 1454: In the on-going struggle between Islam and Christianity John of Capistrano called for a crusade against the Turks. Such a crusade was started in Cracow, but never left the city. Over thirty Jews were killed and their homes plundered. The crusade later expanded to include Posen and the surrounding area.[9]

1454

The Teutonic Knights were overthrown by the Prussians with help from Poland and Lithuania in 1454. Prussia was divided into Royal Prussia in the west and Ducal Prussia in the east. Royal Prussia was incorporated into Poland providing it with a corridor to the Baltic Sea (the “Danzig Corridor”). Ducal Prussia became a Polish territory. At this time, the port city of Danzig (modern day Gdansk) was designated a “free city”.[10]

1454 Jews expelled from Wurzburg.[11]

1454/1455

When printing was invented, the first book to come from the press of Johannes Gutenberg of Mainz, Germany, in 1454/1455 was Jerome’s Latin Vulgate.[12]

April 12, 1577: Birthdate of King Christian IV of Denmark. Christian reversed a prohibition against Jews living in Denmark that dated back to 1536. He gave permission to a Jewish merchant named Albert Dionis to settle in the newly founded city of Glückstadt. More Jews followed and in 1628 their rights were formally recognized. By the time Christian passed away in 1648, Jews could have their own cemeteries, hold religious services and enjoyed the protection of the civil law.[13]

April 12, 1764: Former supporters of Chief Pontiac sign the Treaty of Presque Isle with the English.[14]



April 12, 1776



The following bill of sale from Valentine Crawford to John Mintor will show how the business was usually done:

“Know all men by these presents, That I, Valentine Crawford, of the County of West Augusta, in Virginia, for and in consideration of the sum of fifty pounds, lawful money of Virginia, to me in hand paid by John Mintor, the receipt whereof I do hereby acknowledge, and myself therewith fully satisfied, have bargained and sold unto the said John Mintor a certain negro woman named Sall, which said negro woman I, the said Valentie Crawford, will forever warrant and defend to the said John Mintor, his heirs and assigns together with increase. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 12th day of April, 1776.



Then follow the signature of Crawford, the seal, and the acknowledgment.[15]



April 12, 1776: North Carolina becomes the first Colony to propose independence from England.[16]

April 12, 1777

During the night it rained heavily and in the darkness two ships, Stag and Lively, ran into

one another, which damaged them somewhat, but not seriously…[17]





“FORT PITT, April 12, 1782.



“At a board of officers of which Colonel Gibson is president,— to inquire and report their Opinion whether John Eels, an Indian, is guilty of an intention of making his escape to and joining the enemy, and trying to prevail on others to do the same, and also to report their Opinion whether it was not evrdently his intention to discover to the enemy the design of the party under Captain Springer, of which he was to have been one; the board reports to General Irvine as their opinion that John Eels, an Indian, is guilty of an intention of making his escape to and joining the enemy, and also trying to prevail on others to do the same. The board further reports it is their opinion that if he had gone off, Captain Springer and the party under his command must have been discovered and the desigu of the party. The board is of opinion that John Eels ought to suffer death as a traitor. The general confirms the opinion of the board, and directs that John Eels, an Indian, shall be shot to death this day at one o’clock at the foot of the gallows on the bank of the Alleghany river. The major of brigade will see this order executed. A party consisting of one subaltern, one sergeant, one corporal, one drum, one fife, and twenty rank and file, properly armed and accoutred will attend at the execution, to parade at half past twelve.”[18]



“FORT PITT, April 12, 1782.

“Sir:— The nature of the service you go on is such that confining you by particular instructions might defeat the purpose intended.

“In general, however, I wish you to consider yonr command (on account of the smallness of your number) more in the light of an reconnoitering party than èalculated for offensive operations against the enemy. You will, therefore, proceed with great caution; your route first, for thirty or forty miles, inclining up the Alleghany river. Should you not discover any traces of an enemy on that route, you will proceed toward Sandosky, where you will use every prudent means in your power to gain intellegence of the strength and intentions of the enemy; whether any white men are among them; and whether they are regular British troops or refugees, or as they call themselves — “raiders?; “ who now commands at Detroit; what the strength of the garrison, or whether they have received, this spring, reenforcements of men, provisions, etc. The best mode, I think, of obtaining this end would, if practicable, be by capturing one or more white men.

“If you should discover such symptoms of bodies of the enemy being on their march, so large as to endanger any of our posts, or the settlements on the frontier of’ this country, you will either return or send me notice by one of your party o hum? you can confide in, as in your judgment the case may merit. Should you meet a smaller party than your own, I make no doubt you will give a good account of them, provided you can effect it without risk of frustrating your principal object. Given under my hand at Fort Pitt, this 12th day of April, 1782. “Wir. IRVINE, B. Gen’l.

“Captain URIAH SPRINGER.”

April 12, 1865: The Salisbury Prison in N.C. then became a supply depot, but it had no prisoners when on April 12, 1865 (3 days after Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox) Union General George Stoneman arrived in Salisbury to free the Federals. The Prison was burned, the only one recorded as having been destroyed in this manner. A confederate Government flag that once flew over the gates is now housed at the North Carolina Museum of History in Raleigh. [26]



April 12-13, 1865: General George Stoneman burned the prison buildings April 12-13, 1865



April 12, 1865

When the South surrendered, Ulysses S. Grant decided that there should be a formal laying down of arms. After three days of preparation, the ceremony took place at Appomattox Court House on April 12, 1865. One Federal soldier recounted a few of the “very witty things” that Lee’s men said as they gave up their guns. “If you kill as many Rebels as you killed Yanks, you will do very well,” remarked one to his weapon. Said another, “Good-bye gun; I am darned glad to get rid of you. I have been trying to for two years.”[27]



April 12, 1865: Union forces commanded by Gerneral George Stonemen capture Salisbury, North Carolina, and take over 1700 Confederate priosoners. [28]







April 12, 1899: Abraham Baer Gottlober was a Russian-Hebrew poet and author; born at Starokonstantinov, Volhynia, January 14, 1811; died at Byelostok April 12, 1899. His father was a cantor who sympathized with the progressive movement, and young Gottlober was educated in that spirit to the extent of receiving instruction in Biblical and modern Hebrew as an addition to the usual Talmudical studies.[29]

Abraham Baer Gottlober then settled in Dubno with his son-in-law, Bornstein, who was the official rabbi of that town. Thence he removed to Kovno, and subsequently to Byelostok, where the aged poet, who in later years had become blind, ended his days in poverty and neglect. He died April 12, 1899.[30]



We connect to Abraham Baer Gottlober through our DNA match and our connection to the Cohen DNA. JG



April 12, 1921: On April 12, 1921, a new petition was filed with the county superintendent. Except for excluding 160 acres that had been ceded to the now formally delimited Union No. 1 subdistrict, the boundaries of the proposed district were identical to those in the original proposal. This small tract of land was highly dissected, of low value, and belonged to Catholic families; hence Buck Creekers were glad to be rid of it. They also argued that it gave Union No. 1 enough territory to continue as a subdistrict in what was left of Union School Township (just over seven section), if consolidation passed. The petition contained 88 signatures and was accompanied by an affidavit signed by Harry B. Sill maintaining that the proposed district contained 240 qualified voters, twice as many as had been claimed in the first affidavit because women were now counted as “qualified” to vote. Eighty eight signatures was only ten more than the minimum one third required by law, indicating that proponents were anxious to get the issue back on the ballot as soon as possible.[31]

A delegation of five or six men from the Buck Creek Church, including Cliff Willard, Harry Sill, and “Happy” Stead, filed the petition with the county superintendent’s office in Manchester. Willard was a new convert to the cause of building a consolidated school in Buck Creek. He swung his support over only after Grant assured him that his Catholic neighbors, the Kings and the Britts, would not be forced into the consolidated district. The Kings and Britts owned the 160 acres referred to above that had been ceded to the Union No. 1 subdistrict. The delegation must have been confident of success, because on the train trip to Manchester they stopped in Oneida to examine the consolidated school there and to examine the school wagons used to transport students. Of the consolidated districts in Delaware County, Oneda was the only one that transported almost all its pupils to the school, as would also be the case in any Buck Creek District. On the return trip, after having been assured by County Superintendent Ottlilie that the petition was in proper order and that he would approve it, the delegation noticed some men from the Dufoe and Rose Hill neighborhoods, Catholics all, at the back of the coach. When the Catholic group noticed the Buck Creek delegation, they began talking loudly about the “damned Klansmen” of the Buck Creek Church who were pushing people around trying to get a consolidated school built. Mike Evers, a fiery Irish American with a reputation as a fighter, was in the Catholic group. As told by Willard’s son, “Oh he [Mike Evers] could whip anything he could whip. He was shooting off his mouth about the Klan and the school, that they shouldn’t have it and so on. And so my dad got up and walked back there. He says, “Does that include me?” I don’t know just what Evers said, but he didn’t get up. He knew better. Evers was a fighter, but he wasn’t in my dad’s class. My dad was a big man and about forty three at that time.” While Evers may well have remained seated because of Willard’s size, he was also probably aware that Willard had, at least until recently, been one of the few people in the Buck Creek Church who treated Catholics fairly, even on the consolidated school issue.[32]



April 12, 1935: Germany prohibited publishing "not-Arian" writers.[33]



April 12, 1939



• Hans Frank declares that Krakow must be judenfrei (“free of Jews”) by November. By March 1941, 40,000 out of 60,000 Jews have been deported from Krakow.[15][34]



April 12, 1941(15th of Nisan, 5701): As German troops entered Belgrade, Yugoslavia, a Jewish tailor who spit on the arriving troops was shot dead. Jewish shops and homes in Belgrade were ransacked by both German soldiers and resident Germans.[35]

April 12, 1941: The Germans announced publicly that anyone caught leaving the Lodz Ghetto would be shot.[36]

April 12, 1942: To maintain the deception that all was well and to better control the population, 115,000 of the Jews remaining in Lodz ghetto were told that the 100,000 Jews already deported (and in actuality gassed in Chelmno), were safe and staying in a camp near Warthburcken. Kolo was actually the town near Chelmno.[37]

April 12, 1943: An Anglo-American Conference opens in Bermuda. The conference was supposed to come up with ways of saving European refugees (in reality the Jews of Europe). During the 12 days of meetings it became obvious that the Foreign Office and the State Department would do nothing including relaxing immigration quotas or opening Palestine to Jewish immigrants.[38]

April 12, 1944: ‘Who has made us Jews different to all other people? Who has allowed us to suffer so terribly up till now? It is God that has made us as we are, but it will be God, too, who will raise us up again. . ." From the daily entry of the Diary of Anne Frank[39]

April 12, 1945: Franklin D. Roosevelt, thirty second President of the United States dies in office, in Warm Springs, Georgia[40]



April 12, 1945: General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe, to visit Ohrdruf Concentration camp with Generals George S. Patton and Omar Bradley. After his visit, Eisenhower cabled General George C. Marshall, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington, describing his trip to Ohrdruf:

. . .the most interesting--although horrible--sight that I encountered during the trip was a visit to a German internment camp near Gotha. The things I saw beggar description. While I was touring the camp I encountered three men who had been inmates and by one ruse or another had made their escape. I interviewed them through an interpreter. The visual evidence and the verbal testimony of starvation, cruelty and bestiality were so overpowering as to leave me a bit sick. In one room, where they were piled up twenty or thirty naked men, killed by starvation, George Patton would not even enter. He said that he would get sick if he did so. I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in a position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to 'propaganda.'


Ohrdruf made a powerful impression on General George S. Patton as well. He described it as "one of the most appalling sights that I have ever seen." He recounted in his diary that

In a shed . . . was a pile of about 40 completely naked human bodies in the last stages of emaciation. These bodies were lightly sprinkled with lime, not for the purposes of destroying them, but for the purpose of removing the stench. When the shed was full--I presume its capacity to be about 200, the bodies were taken to a pit a mile from the camp where they were buried. The inmates claimed that 3,000 men, who had been either shot in the head or who had died of starvation, had been so buried since the 1st of January. When we began to approach with our troops, the Germans thought it expedient to remove the evidence of their crime. Therefore, they had some of the slaves exhume the bodies and place them on a mammoth griddle composed of 60-centimeter railway tracks laid on brick foundations. They poured pitch on the bodies and then built a fire of pinewood and coal under them. They were not very successful in their operations because there was a pile of human bones, skulls, charred torsos on or under the griddle which must have accounted for many hundreds.[41]



April 12, 1945: Vice President Harry Truman was sworn in as President of the United following the death of Franklin Roosevelt. No matter what, Truman will always be a hero among Jews for supporting the U.N. resolution that in effect created the state of Israel and for recognizing the state of Israel at the moment of its birth. He did this in spite of strong opposition from advisors in the Defense and State departments.[42]



April 12, 1945: Canadian troops liberated the Nazi concentration camp Westerbork, Netherlands.[43]

Pleasant Hill Landing, LA

U.S.A. 0 Killed, 7 Wounded

C.S.A. 200 Killed and Wounded

(Civil War Battles of 1864;) http://users.aol/dlharvey/1864bat.htm

[24] The morning of the 12th brought no respite. At nine o’clock the Lexington collided with the transport Rob Roy, the former staving in her wheel house and launch and damaging her chimneys forcing her to lay to for repairs. (O. R. N., XXVI, 789) But it was not until the Federals neared Blair’s Landing, forty-five miles by water above Grand Ecore, that they received their warmest reception. Confident that the fleet would turn back as soon as the news of Bank’s misfortunes arrived, Taylor had decided to try to cut it off and, if possible, destroy or capture the whole expedition. For this purpose Bagby’s brigade of cavalry was sent out from Mansfield on the 11th. Bagby, however, was delayed in crossing Bayou Pierre because he had no pontoon train, something which Taylor had repeatedly asked headquarters to send him, and by the time Grand Bayou was reached Porter had slipped by. Another attempt at interception was made when Tom Green set out from Pleasant Hill with several regiments of cavalry at 6 P.M. on the 11th. Like Bagby, Green lost considerable time in crossing Bayou Pierre, but finally his men covered the sixteen miles to the Red and appeared on the south bank of the river at and below Blair’s Landing. At about four in the afternoon of the 12th Green got his men into position and opened on the Union boats with musketry and a four-gun field battery. (O. R., xxxIV, Part I, 381, 570-571). The vessels immediately involved were the transports Hastings, which had tied up at the landing to repair her wheel, the Alice Vivian, carrying 400 cavalry horses, which was aground in midstream, and the Emerald and Clara Bell, which were trying to assist the Alice Vivian. Below the latter lay the Osage, also aground, and the transport Black Hawk, which was trying to get the Osage afloat. The Hastings quickly cast off from the landing when the Confederates opened fire. The gunboat Lexington dropped down from a short distance up stream and opened on the enemy battery. The Rob Roy joined in with the four heavy Parrott guns mounted on her bow, and a section of the 1st Missouri Artillery on the Emerald contributed its fire. (O. R. N., XXVI, 49.) The battle continued for about two hours, with Green’s men delivering m,what Commander Thomas O. Selfridge called “the heaviest and most concentrated fire of musketry that I have ever witnessed.” (O. R. N. XXVI, 49.)
