Perish Thou with Thy Real ID, Mr. Chertoff!
The thoroughly Jewish Secretary of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, is so because he holds a dual-citizenship with the nation of Israel, his father, Gershon Baruch Chertoff, was a full-time rabbi, and his equally rabbinic grandfather, a Russian immigrant, was a well-known scholar of the Talmud. His wife shares his credentials: Meryl, was a co-chairman of the regional Anti-Defamation League's civil rights committee. With his training in law, Secretary Chertoff played a central role in drafting the USA Patriot Act.
This man had a message for the states still holding out on the RealID Act:
SO, WHY, YOU ASK, AM I HIGHLIGHTING CHERTOFF'S JEWISHNESS? I'm so glad you asked!
You'd think for ALL the incessant wailing about the horrors of the Holocaust, and the evilness of the German Nazis, that an obviously devout Jew would be the first to ABHOR the path to fascism that the U.S. is taking. NOT AT ALL. This Jewish man is writing the legislation, heading up the American version of the Gestapo, and strong-arming independent states into compliance with a ridiculous law of bureaucratic tyranny, waste, and ineffectiveness. He is the worst kind of hypocrite.
Someone might offer the following defense for Mr. Chertoff: "Yea, but Chris, the difference is that WE had a 9/11 attack that justifies the need for such national security measures. 9/11 created the need for the Patriot Act and the Department of Homeland Security. We're nothing like Nazi Germany." And how WRONG you would be!
It was after the 1933 terror attack on the German Reichstag building that the Nazis introduced the Enabling Act which transferred power to the executive branch of government. The fire created a "state of emergency." Hitler blamed the fire on the communists and said it represented an "internal" threat of a Communist revolution brewing in Germany. Simply replace "communist" with "Islamic terrorist," "Reichstag fire" with "9/11," "Enabling Act" with "Patriot Act," and "Gestapo" with "Dept. of Homeland Security" and you should see the obvious parallels.
To add insult to injury, the current U.S. president's grandfather, Prescott Bush, did have involvement in financing the Nazis during this period. Prescott was a part of the Harriman bank which was the primary Wall Street outfit supplying cash to German companies. After Pearl Harbor, the Union Banking Corporation (Prescott Bush, Director) was cited by the newly created Trading with the Enemy Act. So, you see, this administration is quite versed in the events and methods that created the German fascist system. However, there is no evidence demonstrating Prescott himself was a Nazi. Like much of Wall Street, there was simply money to be made in the new German economy that grew aggressively before the war.
As an interesting side note, the Guardian's reporting of Prescott Bush's financing of the Nazis stated that the only organization that came out in defense of Bush posthumously was the Anti-Defamation League.
This man had a message for the states still holding out on the RealID Act:
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff had warned that if holdout states do not send a letter by the end of March seeking an extension, come May, residents of such states will no longer be able to use their driver's licenses as valid ID to board airplanes or enter federal buildings.The three hold-out states are South Carolina, Maine, and Montana. They have not complied, nor have they sought extensions. The Talmudic bull, Chertoff, threatened:
"Showing up at the airport with only a driver's license from such a state will be no better than showing up without identification...No doubt this will impel many to choose the inconvenience of traveling with a passport."South Carolina is threatening to sue the Federal Government--good on ya, SC! At least some state is resisting the Nazification of the American system.
