Anne Frank and Rabbi's Garlic

From the NSP News Service: Today, October 27, msn.com ran a lead story about the 10 greatest mysteries of world history. "Who betrayed Anne Frank?" was listed as the all-time number 2 mystery.

There is just one problem with the whole Anne Frank issue: SHE DID NOT EXIST! Some time ago, researchers at The Hague concluded "with a fair amount of certainty" that Frank's famous diary was written in a style closer to 1950 than any date during the War. Additionally, private investigators from what was, in 1984, West Germany, called into question the merits of the "attic hiding place" which supposedly concealed the young Jewish woman for a number of years in the latter part of World War 2. According to the investigators' report, the attic room was in all likelihood a cache for black market goods as well as a spot where a local married woman carried on a liaison with a German Wehrmacht officer.

Then, where did the Frank legend come from? Sources close to the NSP, renegade Jewish sources in fact (!!!) stated by phone from Tel Aviv to this reporter that the Frank legend was concocted by a Hasidic Rabbi just at the War's end. The Rabbi, who lived and taught in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn in 1946, was reading the Torah and eating an overly garlic laden "everything bagel" when he began to experience severe intestinal pain. His breath was so tainted by the fumes of the garlickish spices that the pages of his copy of the Torah began to curl. A young man assisting the Rabbi was heard to mutter "damn, it stank," whereupon the befouled Rabbi was asked to leave the synagogue. In order to save face (and his job), the Rabbi's assistant insisted that he had said "Anne Frank." The Rabbi, who believed his young emanuensis, asked "vhat mit dieser Maedel Frank?" From there, the whole legend was "off and running."

HENCE THE TRUTH UNFOLDS: ANNE FRANK, THE BAGEL--EATING RABBI, THE SCARED ASSISTANT, AND A BESMERCHED TORAH ARE ONE AND THE SAME !!!

Sarah Palin? Brewing a Teapot Tempest?

From the NSP News Service: Well, folks, Sarah Palin may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but nobody among us can deny that her heart is in the Right Place. Just for comic relief, check out the news summary below. Boy, have "the Whiggers amongst us" gotten their panties in a twist or what? And all over a few meaningless words which are made into a racist statement! Dream on, you Jewish-Marxist-Negro crackpots. Keep looking for racists and hate speech wherever you think you can find it. What a delusional crew, don't 'cha think? I'd love to know what psychedelic stuff you buffoons are on!

Here's one for laughs:

Fitness book author and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin took to Facebook today to decry President Obama's response to the Benghazi consulate attack: "The White House and State Department knew that an Islamic terrorist group with ties to al Qaeda claimed credit for the attack. ... Why the lies? Why the cover up? ... President Obama's shuck and jive shtick with these Benghazi lies must end." Maybe Palin was just looking for something that roughly rhymed with "lies" — but we're guessing she was entirely aware of the racist overtones of the phrase "shuck and jive" and was quite content to invoke them. Or maybe she's just going after Alaska's Jewish vote with "shtick." In that case: l'chaim!

HateCrimeWatch: Check this One Out, for Pete's Sake!

From the NSP News Service: As if giving good folk like Dr. Jacques Pluss three years Probation in the State of New Jersey for allegedly engaging in "Bias Intimidation" against some Jewish activist he has never met, and obviously doesn't know personally, along with allegedly possessing an old hunting rifle (in its case, in the back of a hall closet!) in violation of a completely unrelated ancient Judicial Order from the last century, isn't enough? Check out the story below, excerpted from the AP. It's the new American cat's meow! Get those "evil rightists" on something! Well, Cheesis K. Reist! While the NSP does not yet have an (anti)gay policy, it surely has a reaction to the idiocy adumbrated (A-DUMB-rated) below. Bringing the two men up on charges of a "Federal Hate Crime" -- "Federal"? What'll be next, jerked-up Federal Charges just for speaking about Holocaust Revisionism? Why, we'll then have sunk to the level of some EU nations -- and that would be a Hate Crime in and of itself!

Soon, any knee-jerk liberal, socialist, feminist, communist or "antifa" (I'll stop before I vomit!) might very well be able to invent any concoction of crap in order to attempt to silence, humiliate, or hang by the balls, anyone who gets vaguely near to asserting his or her Constitutional Rights as a White Nationalist, an opponent of Zionistic nonsense, or, for that matter, a supporter of the Second and Fourth Amendments! My Lord! And to think that, in the area of the United States which the NSP may call its "administrative headquarters spot," most men (and more than a tiny handful of women) drive around in very nice pick-up trucks with gun mounts in the rear of the cab. We'll bet that near to none of the few police officers one ever sees in this neck of the woods would even dream of "pulling them over!" What sort of lumbering contradiction of a nation have we become? And isn't it time to do something about this liberal dung -- legally and legitimately? Leaving the Country may not be a desired or possible option for those who simply intend on being a good 'ole American! And the NSP thanks its 'lucky stars" for them!

Federal jury acquits cousins of hate crime in attack on gay man in landmark case

By Miranda Leitsinger, NBC News

A jury has acquitted two cousins accused of attacking a Kentucky man because he is gay, the first time prosecutors pursued federal hate crime charges in a case where the victim was allegedly targeted due to their sexual orientation, media reports say.
However, Anthony Jenkins and Jason Jenkins were convicted on Wednesday on kidnapping and conspiracy charges in the assault on Kenneth Pennington in a state park last year.
The Department of Justice had argued that the pair assaulted Pennington, 29, because he was gay and said the intent was to kill him. Anthony Jenkins' attorney, Willis Coffey, denied that, saying it was a plan to buy drugs that went wrong. [space below for deleted ad. Keep scrolling! -- ed.]

Jurors did not comment after the decision was rendered, nor did federal prosecutors, The Associated Press reported.
Relatives of Anthony Jenkins wept, while Pennington made an audible sigh when the verdict was read, media reports said.
"You'd like to have an acquittal on all counts, but he's happy he was found not guilty of a hate crime," Coffey said, according to The AP. "So am I."
The cousins allegedly punched and kicked Pennington while yelling anti-gay slurs at him during the April 4, 2011 attack in Kingdom Come State Park, The Lexington Herald Leader reported. Defense attorneys argued the attack stemmed from drug and alcohol abuse, said the paper, but the prosecutor argued otherwise.
"This is not about drugs, this is about the fact that Kevin is gay," U.S. Justice Department civil rights attorney AeJean Cha told jurors, according to The AP.
Pennington described the attack after he escaped in a 911 call played by Assistant U.S. Attorney Hydee Hawkins.
"They're trying to kill me," Pennington said. "I didn't know what they were going to do. I think it's because I'm gay."
Coffey, the defense attorney for Anthony Jenkins, said his client -- who has an IQ of about 75 -- told the court on Wednesday that Jenkins never formulated a plan to attack or kill Pennington, and called the anti-gay allegations "the nearest thing to nothing I have ever seen," reported The AP.
The Jenkins were the first people prosecuted under part of the federal hate crime law that makes it a crime to hurt someone because of their perceived or real sexual orientation. The pair faces life in prison on the kidnapping charges when they are sentenced on Feb. 21, 2013.
In April, Anthony Jenkins’ wife -- Mable Ashley Jenkins, 19 -- and his sister, Alexis LeeAnn Jenkins, also 19 -– pleaded guilty to assisting the kidnapping and assault of Pennington because he is gay, the Justice Department said in a statement.
It was the first federal convictions nationwide for violating the sexual orientation provision of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act.

And now I guess it's time to get to the "head" and worship the "porcelain goddess" -- Wolff!

Dr. Pluss: Next Political Steps for NSP.

From the National Socialist Party Leader: In a short while, the guiding council of the NSP (a small group, we all admit with no trepidation whatsoever), in conjunction with Dr. J. Pluss, will issue a small number of provisions and guidelines for the National Socialist Party. The Party is, in fact, an international movement, and some foreign contacts (as well as those in the U.S.) will be disclosed.
Until then, Dr. Pluss has one key piece of advice for Americans as the United States comes up upon election day: DO NOT VOTE FOR EITHER MAIN PARTY CANDIDATE! They are both FIRMLY in the grip of ZOG, Romney probably more than Obama! So, just keep away from that hellish contest! It's not worth the bother; America as a political and economic power is, even now, "operating on fumes!"

Excellent Nazi-Era Method of Treating "Psychiatric" Disorders!

Austria probes gruesome fate of Nazi-era disabled

By GEORGE JAHN | Associated Press – Fri, Oct 19, 2012

HALL, Austria (AP) — Forensic crews scraping away dirt from the remains of the Nazi-era psychiatric patients were puzzled: The skeletal fingers were entwined in rosary beads. Why, the experts wondered, would the Nazis — who considered these people less than human — respect them enough to let them take their religious symbols to their graves?

It turns out they didn't.
A year after the first of 221 sets of remains were exhumed at a former Austrian hospital cemetery, investigators now believe the beads were likely nothing more than a cynical smokescreen, placed to mislead relatives attending the burials into thinking that the last stage of their loved ones' lives was as dignified as their funerals.
But skeletons don't lie. Forensic work shows that more than half of the victims had broken ribs and other bone fractures from blows likely dealt by hospital personnel. Many died from illnesses such as pneumonia, apparently caused by a combination of physical injuries, a lack of food and being immobilized for weeks at a time.

Neither do medical records, which show that medical personnel cursed their patients as "imbeciles," ''idiots" and "useless eaters."

Indeed, there is now little doubt that for many of the dead — mentally and physically disabled people considered by the Nazis to be human garbage — their final months were hell on Earth.
Nazi extermination of the mentally and physically deficient has been documented since the end of World War II. But information gathered from the hospital cemetery in Hall, an ancient Tyrolean town of narrow, cobble-stoned alleys, cozy inns and graceful church spires east of Innsbruck, has filled out the picture in chilling new ways.
Historians, anthropologists, physicians and archaeologists say the Hall project represents the first time that investigators can match hospital records with remains, allowing them to identify, for example, cases in which patients had broken ribs, noses and collarbones that were not listed in their medical histories, suggesting that the patients had been beaten by those responsible for their care.
Faced with the horrors of the findings, those involved in the probe struggle to maintain the detached attitude of an investigator.

"At first, I sat here and worked through these documents in a relatively dry manner from the point of view of a scientist," psychiatrist Christian Haring said. "But as you read on at some point, you suddenly find yourself in a world where the goose-bumps appear."

Anthropologist George McGlynn said more than half of the sets of remains have broken bones, many of them unexplained in the patients' medical records.
"Why is a stubbed toe talked about in three different (documents), but six rib fractures that cause terrible pain isn't even mentioned?" he asked.
While such injuries did not kill directly, they may often have led to death. Many of the patients are listed as dying of pneumonia, and McGlynn said the "scary conclusion" is that rib injuries combined with sedation and forced immobility — patients are suspected to have been strapped to their beds for weeks at a time — may have generated fatal incidences of the disease.
"Nobody is being executed here, like you see in concentration camps," he said. "It was done in a more sinister, insidious way — people are loaded up with drugs until they get a lung infection."
Forensic examination of the bones shows infection that started at the skin level then "goes right into the muscle and all the way to the bone," McGlynn said.
Others apparently starved — if not to death, then to the point where they were susceptible to diseases that then killed them.
"We can assume that the patients suffered massively from hunger," said Haring, the psychiatrist, speaking of "enormous" losses in weight.
The Nazis called people deemed too sick, weak or disabled to fit Hitler's image of a master race "unworthy lives," in the terrible culmination of the cult of eugenics that gained international popularity in the early 1900s as a way to improve the "racial quality" of future generations.
"Patients, who on the basis of human judgment are considered incurable, can be granted mercy death after a discerning diagnosis," Hitler wrote in a 1939 decree that opened the flood gates to the mass killings.
More than 70,000 such people were killed, gassed to death or otherwise murdered between 1939 and 1941, when public protests stopped most wholesale massacres. From then until the end of the war in 1945, the killings continued at the hands of doctors and nurses. In all, at least 200,000 physically or mentally disabled people were killed by medication, starvation, neglect or in the gas chambers during the war.
After 1941, McGlynn said, "a lot of the smaller institutions were given carte blanche to take care of things themselves. No longer were people being transported to (killing) centers. They were being put to sleep right there."
Hundreds of psychiatric patients from Hall were among those shipped to killing centers before 1941, but what happened there after that was unknown until two years ago, when an archivist searching through old hospital files discovered the graveyard during a hospital expansion.
The records show that as the war progressed, and able-bodied men and women became scarce behind the front lines, the Nazis made a cynical adjustment in their measurement of patients' value.
"'Worthy of life' and 'unworthy of life' were the terms used back then," Haring said. "The difference was ability to work or not."

Excerpts of medical histories provided to The Associated Press described one of the patients as suffering from "imbecility," but most were objective, bereft of demeaning descriptions. McGlynn, however, said he had examined records that show emotional abuse in addition to the physical violence the remains attest to.

"People are being threatened: 'If you don't do this we are going to stuff this tube down your nose and pump you full of stuff,'" he said. "These people were at the mercy of their captors."
Other evidence backs up his findings.
Documents show that the cemetery was created in 1942, a year after the formal end of the mass-killing campaign meant that Hall patients could no longer be shipped to gas chambers. It was shut down and abandoned in 1945, when the war ended. During that time, deaths in the psychiatric ward rose from an average of 4 percent a month in early 1942 to as high as 20 percent in some months before the end of the war.

Haring, an affable, soft-spoken man, is visibly shaken as he speaks of the horrors perpetrated by the previous generation of psychiatrists. But he hesitates to assign individual guilt to anyone caught up in the inhuman machinery of the Third Reich.

"It is easy for us now to point the finger and say 'what have they done?'" he said. "But ... I am not sure that I would have acted differently. We were simply paralyzed."

From the NSP News Service: In the story above, we finally note a good common-sense manner through which the "mentally impaired" can be treated. We applaud the courage of Third Reich policy-makers on this issue. Finally, how many of you knew that, as part of research into "eugenics," these sorts of treatments were used in the United States and other western European nations prior to 1939, when the association of the method of treatment with "Nazi Evils" put an end to their use in most non-Axis nations? Shame, indeed. The NSP advocates the reinstitution of the Third Reich treatments here in the U.S. as soon as possible in order to end the unbearable lives of the patients and also in order to keep psychiatric treatment cost as low as possible. And by the way, it is highly likely that these "abhorent" practices were widespread in the former Soviet Union and are still "alive and well" in former Soviet-bloc nations today!

Israeli Paranoia Again (or not)? More Gaza Nonsense?

From the NSP News Service: Note the latest Israeli bombing of Gaza! What a pernicious waste? Anybody reading this ever been to Gaza? I sure have. And I tell you, folks, there is not a think worth bombing or destroying there -- it is mostly sand, rocky terrain and ruins (by now)! Why can't those "verdammte" Jews just leave those poor Gaza Palestinians alone? I'll tell you why -- they want to get at the cash-producing material under Gaza -- probably a great deal of oil, the amount of which is cleverly kept secret from most of the outside world. So why not buy the oil from the Palestinians? Afraid of what they'd use the money for? Don't worry -- the first things they'd do is buy tickets out of that place! I guarantee it! -- Wolff. 1488!

Israeli forces strike Gaza targets after rocket salvo

By NBC News wire services

October 8, 2012, 11:39 am

NBCNews.com

Israel said it struck targets in the Gaza Strip on Monday after Palestinian militants fired rockets at southern Israel in what they said was a response to an Israel airstrike that wounded two militants and eight bystanders.

Meanwhile, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, citing The Associated Press, said the Israeli air force flew mock raids over southern Lebanon after a mysterious unmanned aircraft was shot down over Israel over the weekend.

An Iranian military official was quoted as saying Monday that the drone's incursion exposed the weakness of Israeli air defenses, but did not confirm or deny Israeli charges that Tehran and southern Lebanon-based Shiite militia group Hezbollah were behind it.

Jamaluddin Aberoumand, deputy coordinator for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said the incident indicated that Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile defense system "does not work and lacks the necessary capacity," Fars news agency reported.

The Iron Dome system, jointly funded with the United States, is designed to shoot down short-range guerrilla rockets, not slow-flying aircraft. It intercepted more than 80 percent of the targets it engaged in March when nearly 300 rockets and mortars were fired at southern Israel, the Pentagon said at the time.

The drone was first spotted above the Mediterranean near the Gaza Strip to the west of Israel, said military spokeswoman Avital Leibovich. An Israeli warplane shot it down above a forest near the occupied West Bank.

Israeli parliament member Miri Regev, a former chief spokesman of the military, wrote on Twitter it was an "Iranian drone launched by Hezbollah."

Israeli defense officials have not confirmed the charge.

On at least one occasion, Iranian-backed Hezbollah has sent a drone into Israeli airspace. Also, in 2010, an Israeli warplane shot down an apparently unmanned balloon in the Negev near the country's Dimona nuclear reactor.

Sunday's flyover by Israeli jets appeared intended to demonstrate to Hezbollah that Israel retained air superiority, according to the AP.

On Monday, the Israeli army said it had targeted "Hamas terror activity sites and terrorist squads responsible for the rocket fire"in Gaza, but gave no details.

Gaza hospital officials said one Islamic Jihad militant thought to have been involved in the rocket attack had been wounded by Israeli tank fire east of the town of Rafah.

Residents of the town of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip said an Israeli tank fired at the suspected launch area, slightly wounding four children and damaging a mosque minaret and a water tower.

The Israeli army says 470 rockets have been fired from Gaza this year, 10 in October alone.

Full international news coverage on NBCNews.com

The armed wing of Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist faction that controls the Gaza Strip, said it had carried out the latest rocket attack with the militant Islamic Jihad group.

It was the first time since June that Hamas had acknowledged launching rockets at Israel.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said some rockets had landed harmlessly near the border with the Gaza Strip.

An Israeli air strike on Sunday was aimed at two Palestinian militants, one of whom was critically wounded, as was one of the bystanders.

Rep. Paul Broun: Ha ha ha. . . .

From the NSP News Service: Is this man mentally ill? Just read the utter crap he takes as fact. Here's yet another example of why the people in our government are unfit! Oh, and by the way, does Broun only make love with his wife in the missionary position, on Saturday nights, and then attend Church on Sunday to pray for his sin of "indulging in connubial bliss?"

U.S. Rep. Paul Broun's view that the theories of evolution and the big bang are "lies straight from the pit of Hell" is getting more exposure than he might have expected, thanks to a video that was made at a church-sponsored banquet in Georgia and distributed by a progressive political watchdog group.
The Georgia Republican is already well-known as an outspoken conservative Christian, due in part to his unsuccessful campaign to have 2010 declared "the Year of the Bible." But the latest comments have taken on an extra dab of controversy because Broun, a medical doctor, calls himself a scientist in the video

and chairs the House Science Committee's panel on investigations and oversight.

READ ON BELOW: VIDEO REMOVED (WHO NEEDS TO SEE IT?) ----

The video clip, distributed by the Bridge Project, was taken from a longer version recorded on Sept. 27 during the 2012 Sportsman's Banquet at Liberty Baptist Church in Hartwell, Ga. Here's a transcript of the Bridge Project's snippet:

"God's word is true. I've come to understand that. All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the big bang theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell. And it's lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior. You see, there are a lot of scientific data that I've found out as a scientist that actually show that this is really a young Earth. I don't believe that the earth's but about 9,000 years old. I believe it was created in six days as we know them. That's what the Bible says.
"And what I've come to learn is that it's the manufacturer's handbook, is what I call it. It teaches us how to run our lives individually, how to run our families, how to run our churches. But it teaches us how to run all of public policy and everything in society. And that's the reason as your congressman I hold the Holy Bible as being the major directions to me of how I vote in Washington, D.C., and I'll continue to do that."

Broun's comments were greeted with applause, and they probably reflect how a lot of his constituents feel about the same issues. He's assured of re-election in any case, due to the fact that he has no Democratic Party challenger in next month's election. But how will Broun's latest pronouncements play out on a national stage?

Campus Life: Bleach Bombing not nearly as Effective as Tar and Feathers!

From the NSP News Service: We commend the students who have found pleasure in the harmless undergraduate game of "bleach bombing." Yet we suggest that tarring and feathering -- a tried and true method of making a fine racialist point -- yields much more "colorful" results! -- Wolff.

A series of attacks apparently targeting minority students at the University of Texas stirred an anti-racism demonstration against the acts. The march on Tuesday night followed several weeks of “bleach bombing” attacks at apartments near the university's Austin campus. Several minority students reported that they had been bleach-bombed — that bleach-filled balloons were thrown at them from balconies of apartments in the West Campus neighborhood. They, and other demonstrators, believe the attacks were racially motivated. The incidents followed a spate of racially themed parties held by members of the school's Greek organizations, in which partygoers dressed as stereotypes of minority groups, drawing criticism

Jews: Murder is BEST Way to Celebrate Holiday!

From the NSP News Service: Only a bunch of Yids celebrate holidays by venting their miserable blood-lust, even on one-another! By the way, don't ever bother to go to Eilat. It is one of the most miserable, overpriced, boring spots in that Zionist entity some refer to as "Israel," but we here all know it's simply a Palestinian land now crowded with Canned Goods! -- Wolff.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli forces shot dead an American man who opened fire in a seaside hotel packed with tourists on Friday, killing one person.

Police and military troops swiftly surrounded the hotel in the Red Sea resort city of Eilat after the man - a former employee of the hotel - "grabbed a weapon from a security guard and shot a hotel worker," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said.

The man barricaded himself in the hotel kitchen, shooting back at law enforcement officers. He was shot dead by members of a military counter-terrorism squad, a military source said.

An Israeli hotel guest, Aviram Sela, said he tried to wrestle the gunman to the ground before he started shooting, as terrified tourists dived for cover behind a sofa in the hotel lobby.

"We saw him beating the guard and grab his weapon and the magazine," Sela told Israeli television, adding that the gunman then took aim at a member of his family.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak told Army Radio the incident "appears to be an internal dispute".

Eilat, on the border with Egypt and Jordan, has been a target of militant attacks in the past, and has come under rocket fire from Egypt's Sinai in the past several months. The city is currently crowded with both foreign tourists and Israelis on a seven-day Jewish religious holiday

Israel's Hostile Take-Over: The U.S.!

From the NSP News Service: OMG! -- as the younger people amongst us would "say" -- if the article below, concerning the latest thinking of former presidential candidate ROSS PEROT, is at all accurate, who do YOU think would have the cash-power to take over a weakened America -- not that it hasn't been half done already! -- Wolff. 1488!

Former presidential contender and billionaire Ross Perot is worried that America is a sitting duck for an unnamed foreign invader. In an interview for his new autobiography, Perot said the nation's weak economy has left us open for a hostile takeover—and neither presidential candidate is the man to save the country.

Citing an impending fiscal cliff, Perot warned of disaster. "If we are that weak, just think of who wants to come here first and take us over," the former CEO of info-tech company Perot Systems told USA Today on Monday.

"The last thing I ever want to see is our country taken over because we're so financially weak, we can't do anything," Perot says.

When asked for his take on the presidential race, Perot added, "Nobody that's running really talks about it, about what we have to do and why we have to do it. They would prefer not to have it discussed."

However cryptic he may be, this is the first political reckoning by Perot in years, ever since he withdrew from the political landscape after the fall of his Reform Party in the 2000 election. The man who ran the most successful third-party campaigns in contemporary American politics also expressed optimism about the current tea party activism and its efforts to "wake up" both Washington and the electorate.

Still, he thinks that even the fresh voices in the populist, small-government tea party movement aren't focusing on the real doomsday issue: the deficit. Comparing the Washington establishment to a bunch of fiscal drunks, Perot is still waiting for America to undergo an intervention, before it finds itself owned by a new global power. "It's like the guy who's drinking—sooner or later, he's got to put a cork on the bottle, right?"

"There but for the Grace of God. . . . "

From the NSP News Service: Take a good look at the "Euro Scene" folks. It could very well be that the very same article will be written about the United States in a year or two. -- Wolff, 1488!

BRUSSELS - The EU warned on Monday of an "economic and social disaster" if joblessness among young Europeans continued to rise, calling for a joint effort to combat record high unemployment in the countries which share the euro.
Joblessness in the 17 country bloc was 11.4 percent of the working population in August, stable compared to July on a statistical basis, but with another 34,000 people finding themselves out of work in the month, the EU's statistics office Eurostat said. It was 16th straight monthly rise.
That left 18.2 million people unemployed in the euro zone, the highest level since the euro's inception in 1999 and a rise of some 2.6 million people since early 2011. Around 25.5 million people were out of a job in the wider 27-nation European Union.
"It is clearly unacceptable that 25 million Europeans are out of work," European Commission spokesman Jonathan Todd told a regular briefing. In a separate statement, the EU executive said the data showing a record 22.7 percent of 18-to-25-year-olds out of work in Europe in August was of real concern.
"EU institutions and governments, businesses and social partners at all levels need to do all they can to avoid a lost generation, which would be an economic and social disaster," the Commission said.
The debt crisis that began in Greece in 2010 and has spread across the euro zone to engulf Ireland, Portugal, Cyprus and the much bigger economy of Spain has devastated business confidence and sapped companies' abilities to create jobs.
A European-wide drive to cut debts and deficits to try to win back that lost confidence has led governments to cut back spending and lay off staff, while stubbornly high inflation and limited bank credit are adding to household's problems.
Joblessness could go beyond 19 million by early 2014, or about 12 percent of the euro zone's workforce, according to a new study by consultancy Ernst & Young, predicting that rate to rise to 27 percent in indebted Greece. That compares with 24.4 percent in the country in June, the latest data available.
"In this difficult environment, companies are likely to reduce employment further in order to preserve productivity and profitability," the report said.
Euro zone manufacturing put in its worst performance in the three months to September since the depths of the 2008/2009 financial crisis, with factories hit by falling demand despite cutting prices, a survey showed on Monday.
The International Monetary Fund expects the euro zone's economy to shrink 0.3 percent this year and only a weak recovery to emerge next year that will generate 0.7 percent growth.
But the joblessness picture also obscures wide regional variations. In Austria, unemployment is the euro zone's lowest at 4.5 percent in August, a slight fall from July, while Spain has the highest rate at 25.1 percent in the month.
While a bursting of a real estate bubble in Spain and the end of a decade of credit-fueled expansion in Greece account for difficulties in the Mediterranean, policymakers still face the challenge of trying to revive growth across the bloc.
"The recession in the euro zone is due to the tough consolidation course in the peripheral countries, weaker global demand and the high uncertainty coming from the sovereign debt crisis," Commerzbank economist Christoph Weil wrote in a recent research note.
Euro zone and UK central bankers will likely leave policy unchanged at their meetings this week, but both will announce additional measures to help their moribund economies before the year's end, according to a Reuters poll.

Oil, The Jew, and A New Ally to Screw!

From the NSP News Service:

If you don't think there is such a thing as a "Jewish World Conspiracy," just read the article below! And just imagine a tiny, little miniature Jew, all outfitted in prayer gear, sticking his head out of the pants pocket of some poor Azerbaijani -- while hooting with fervent glee and waving the poor Azerbaijani's money left and right, as the Azerbaijani wonders where his money for his meager daily loaf of bread has disappeared to! Well, we know, don't we? Note, also, that these Israeli Jews have no trouble at all considering alliances with their sworn enemies, the Muslims, if it will serve their sleazy purpose. Excuse me . . .

BAKU, Azerbaijan -- Israel's "go-it-alone" option to attack Iran's nuclear sites has set the Middle East on edge and unsettled its main ally at the height of a U.S. presidential election campaign.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu exudes impatience, saying Tehran is barely a year from a "red line" for atomic capacity. Many fellow Israelis, however, fear a unilateral strike, lacking U.S. forces, would fail against such a large and distant enemy.

But what if, even without Washington, Israel were not alone?

Azerbaijan, the oil-rich ex-Soviet republic on Iran's far northern border, has, say local sources with knowledge of its military policy, explored with Israel how Azeri air bases and spy drones might help Israeli jets pull off a long-range attack.

That is a far cry from the massive firepower and diplomatic cover that Netanyahu wants from Washington. But, by addressing key weaknesses in any Israeli war plan -- notably on refueling, reconnaissance and rescuing crews -- such an alliance might tilt Israeli thinking on the feasibility of acting without U.S. help.

It could also have violent side effects more widely and many doubt Azeri President Ilham Aliyev would risk harming the energy industry on which his wealth depends, or provoking Islamists who dream of toppling his dynasty, in pursuit of favor from Israel.

Yet despite official denials by Azerbaijan and Israel, two Azeri former military officers with links to serving personnel and two Russian intelligence sources all told Reuters that Azerbaijan and Israel have been looking at how Azeri bases and intelligence could serve in a possible strike on Iran.

Netanyahu: Draw 'clear red line' to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons

"Where planes would fly from -- from here, from there, to where? -- that's what's being planned now," a security consultant with contacts at Azeri defense headquarters in Baku said. "The Israelis ... would like to gain access to bases in Azerbaijan."

'Iceberg' relationshipThat Aliyev, an autocratic ally of Western governments and oil firms, has become a rare Muslim friend of the Jewish state -- and an object of scorn in Tehran -- is no secret; a $1.6-billion arms deal involving dozens of Israeli drones, and Israel's thirst for Azerbaijan's Caspian Sea crude, are well documented.

Israelis are prepared -- or not -- for an Iran attack

Israel's foreign minister visited Baku in April this year.

But a leaked U.S. diplomatic cable from 2009 quoted Aliyev, who succeeded his father in 2003, describing relations with Israel as "like an iceberg, nine tenths ... below the surface."

That he would risk the wrath of his powerful neighbor by helping wage war on Iran is, however, something his aides flatly deny; wider consequences would also be hard to calculate from military action in a region where Azerbaijan's "frozen" conflict with Armenia is just one of many elements of volatility and where major powers from Turkey, Iran and Russia to the United States, western Europe and even China all jockey for influence.

Nonetheless, Rasim Musabayov, an independent Azeri lawmaker and a member of parliament's foreign affairs committee, said that, while he had no definitive information, he understood that Azerbaijan would probably feature in any Israeli plans against Iran, at least as a contingency for refueling its attack force:

"Israel has a problem in that if it is going to bomb Iran, its nuclear sites, it lacks refueling," Musabayov told Reuters.

"I think their plan includes some use of Azerbaijan access.

"We have (bases) fully equipped with modern navigation, anti-aircraft defenses and personnel trained by Americans and if necessary they can be used without any preparations," he added.

'Speculation'The administration of President Barack Obama has made clear it does not welcome Israel's occasional talk of war and that it prefers diplomacy and economic sanctions to deflect an Iranian nuclear program that Tehran denies has military uses.

Having also invested in Azerbaijan's defenses and facilities used by U.S. forces in transit to Afghanistan, Washington also seems unlikely to cheer Aliyev joining any action against Iran.

The Azeri president's team insist that that will not happen.

"No third country can use Azerbaijan to perpetrate an attack on Iran. All this talk is just speculation," said Reshad Karimov from Aliyev's staff. He was echoing similar denials issued in Baku and from Israel when the journal Foreign Policy quoted U.S. officials in March voicing alarm that Azeri-Israeli action could thwart U.S. diplomacy toward Iran and across the Caucasus.

Iranian: 'Our money is becoming more and more worthless every day'

Israeli officials dismiss talk of Azeri collaboration in any attack on Iran but decline public comment on specific details.

Even speaking privately, few Israeli officials will discuss the issue. Those who do are skeptical, saying overt use of Azeri bases by Israel would provoke too many hostile reactions. One political source did, however, say flying unmarked tanker aircraft out of Azerbaijan to extend the range and payloads of an Israeli bombing force might play a part in Israeli planning.

Though denying direct knowledge of current military thinking on Iran, the Israeli said one possibility might be "landing a refueling plane there, made to look like a civilian airliner, so it could later take off to rendezvous mid-air with IAF jets."

A thousand miles separates Tehran and Tel Aviv, putting much of Iran beyond the normal ranges of Israel's U.S.-made F-16 bombers and their F-15 escorts. So refueling could be critical.

SabotageThere is far from unanimity among Israeli leaders about the likelihood of any strike on Iran's nuclear plants, whether in a wider, U.S.-led operation or not. Netanyahu's "red line" speech to the United Nations last week was seen by many in Israel as making any strike on Iran unlikely -- for at least a few months.

Many, however, also assume Israel has long spied on and even sabotaged what the Western powers say are plans for atomic weapons which Israel says would threaten its very existence.

A second Israeli political source called the idea of Azerbaijan being either launch pad or landing ground for Israeli aircraft "ludicrous" -- but agreed with the first source that it was fair to assume joint Israeli-Azeri intelligence operations.

The Azeri sources said such cooperation was established.

As part of last year's arms deal, Azerbaijan is building up to 60 Israeli-designed drones, giving it reconnaissance means far greater than many analysts believe would be needed just to guard oil installations or even to mount any operations against the breakaway, ethnic Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh.

"With these drones, (Israel) can indirectly watch what's happening in Iran, while we protect our borders," legislator Musabayov said -- a view shared by Azeri former military sources.

Less reserved than Israeli officials, the sources in Azerbaijan and in Russian intelligence, which keeps a close eye on its former Soviet backyard, said Baku could offer Israel much more, however -- though none believed any deal was yet settled.

The country, home to nine million people whose language is close to Turkish and who mostly share the Shiite Muslim faith of Iran, has four ex-Soviet air bases that could be suitable for Israeli jets, the Azeri sources said. They named central Kyurdamir, Gyanja in the west and Nasosny and Gala in the east.

The Pentagon says it helped upgrade Nasosny airfield for NATO use. It also uses Azeri commercial facilities in transit to Afghanistan. But U.S. military aid to Azerbaijan is limited by Washington's role as a mediator in its dispute with Armenia.

One of the sources with links to the Azeri military said: "There is not a single official base of the United States and even less so of Israel on the territory of Azerbaijan. But that is 'officially'. Unofficially they exist, and they may be used."

The source said Iran had been a main topic of talks in April with Israel's Soviet-born foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman.

'We keep buying arms'Azeri tarmac, a shorter flight from key sites in northern Iran including the Fordow underground uranium enrichment plant and missile batteries at Tabriz, might feature in Israeli war planning in less direct ways, the former Azeri officers said.

With Israel wary of its vulnerability to pressure over air crew taken prisoner, plans for extracting downed pilots may be a key feature of any attack plan. Search and rescue helicopters might operate from Azerbaijan, the sources said -- or planes that were hit or low on fuel could land at Azeri bases in extremis.

Such engagement carries risks for Azerbaijan and its oil platforms and pipelines operated with international companies.

Defending against Iran is part of public debate in Baku. The United States has provided Azerbaijan with three Coast Guard cutters and has funded seven coastal radar sites as well as giving Baku other help in protecting its oil installations.

Relations have long been strained between the former Soviet state and Iran, which is home to twice as many ethnic Azeris as Azerbaijan itself. Tehran beams an Azeri-language television channel over the border which portrays Aliyev as a puppet of Israel and the West, as well as highlighting corruption in Baku.

Azerbaijan sees Iranian hands behind its Islamist opposition and both countries have arrested alleged spies and agitators.

Faced with an uneven balance of force, Aliyev's government makes no bones about Israel being an ally. As one presidential aide, speaking on condition of anonymity, explained: "We live in a dangerous neighborhood; that is what is the most powerful driving force for our relationship with Israel."

However, Israel's confrontation with Iran may turn out, the arms build-up in Azerbaijan, including recent Israeli upgrades for its Soviet T-72 tanks, may have consequences for the wider region and for the stand-off with Armenia -- consequences that would trouble all the powers with stakes in the Caspian region.
