Finding prostate cancer metastates in lymph nodes early
With the help of an engineered common cold virus spreadings of prostate cancer in the pelvic lymph nodes can be visualised with a PET scanner. It is now possible to treat the cancer in an early stage. But the developers of the virus from UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center see a chance to even use it as a treatment option.
Lily Wu, M.D., Ph.D.
Using an engineered common cold virus, UCLA researchers delivered a genetic payload to prostate cancer cells that allowed them, using positron emission tomography (PET), to locate the diseased cells as they spread to the lymph nodes, the first place prostate cancer goes before invading other organs.
The tiny cancer metastases in the pelvic lymph nodes are very difficult to find using conventional imaging tools such as CT scanning. This discovery could aid oncologists in finding the cancer's spread earlier, when it's more treatable and before it invades distant organs, said Lily Wu, a researcher at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center and the senior author of the study, which appears July 11 in the early, online edition of the peer-reviewed journal Nature Medicine.
The next step for Wu and her colleagues is linking the non-invasive imaging advance with a treatment component, activating a toxic agent in the genetic payload to kill the spreading cancer cells. Wu hopes one day to be able to find tiny prostate cancer metastases in patients and kill them at the same time, watching it all on a PET scanner. She currently is refining this image-guided therapy in her lab in mouse models.
"I think this is very exciting for many reasons," said Wu, who also is an associate professor of pharmacology and urology. "We now know we can reach these prostate cancer metastases at an earlier stage than before, and we know we can deliver genes to those cancer cells that produce proteins that can be imaged by PET. Now we will find out how effective this genetic toxic payload is in preventing further spread of the cancer to other vital organs."
The spread of prostate cancer to the pelvic lymph nodes is the most reliable indicator that the patient will have a poor prognosis, with disease recurrence and progression likely. Accurately assessing pelvic lymph node involvement in patients is critical in planning their treatment, Wu said.
Currently, physicians don't know if a treatment is attacking cancer cells until, using traditional imaging, they see a decrease in tumor size, an insensitive approach that can take weeks and months. And if the treatment isn't working, the patient is exposed to a toxic therapy that isn't helping them. If Wu is successful, an oncologist would know within days if the cancer has spread and whether the treatment is killing the cancer.
Using mouse models, Wu and her team engineered a virus to travel to the lymph nodes, using a prostate cancer-specific vector that dictates its protein payload be expressed only in prostate cells. The payload in this case is a protein that can be imaged by PET scanning. The virus was introduced into the tumor in the mouse and Wu and her team were able to detect PET signals only from the lymph nodes with cancer cell involvement, indicating the virus reached and infected the prostate cancer cells and produced the imaging protein.
As part of this study, Wu co-developed TSTA, a two-step transcriptional amplification method, which increased the expression of the genetic payload inside the cancer cells — in effect boosting the imaging signals and potential killing activity of the engineered virus.
Wu believes this type of image-guided therapy has the potential to improve the way advanced prostate cancer is treated.
"It would represent a treatment advance in patients for whom the outcome is not good," Wu said. "This would help improve the prognosis for these patients by letting us find and treat these metastases early. If we can catch the cancer before it invades other organs, we have a better chance to change the outcomes for these patients."
This type of approach was pioneered in the field of breast cancer with testing of the sentinel lymph node, the first place breast cancer goes when it spreads. A biopsy can determine if the cancer is in the sentinel node, therefore spreading, and oncologists base their treatment decisions on that information. In prostate cancer, the lymph nodes are much more difficult to access for biopsy, so Wu's method provides a much needed, non-invasive alternative.
Wu's work was initiated more than five years ago with the support of an interdisciplinary grant from the Jonsson Cancer Center.

Cooper Tire Europe's rugged Discoverer A/T3 Sport tyres took their place in the limelight at this year's Geneva Motor Show, as part of the Chelsea Truck Company's stand.
The 88th Geneva Motor Show ran from 8-18 March and placed the Cooper brand in front of nearly 700,000 visitors and more than 10,000 of the world's media.
Cooper's acclaimed range of SUV and 4×4 tyres were showcased as part of the exhibit, and performance ambassador, ex-Formula 1 driver David Coulthard, was on hand for part of the show to talk about his role in developing the company's latest SUV tyres.
The A/T3 Sport product (275/70R18) was fitted to the Chelsea Truck Company's all-terrain Civilian 6×6, which made its world debut at the show.
Alongside the Discoverer A/T3 Sport, visitors to the stand were also able to see examples of Cooper's range of extreme off-road tyres; the Discoverer S/T MAXX POR and Discoverer STT Pro POR.
Coulthard talked to visitors and journalists about Cooper's flagship SUV tyre, the Cooper Zeon 4XS Sport, which is among the best available for this growing industry sector and features an A grade safety rating for wet grip.
Meanwhile, the Discoverer S/T MAXX POR has proven its mettle in the most extreme of real-world environments, as the tyre of choice for Dakar Legend, Xavier Foj.
The Discoverer STT Pro POR is Cooper's most extreme 4×4 offering and delivers traction, toughness and tread wear on even the most challenging of off-road conditions, whether thick mud or rocky terrain.
The Cooper Zeon CS8 was shown in its guise as an original equipment fitment on the new Volkswagen T-Roc SUV, sold throughout Europe. The T-Roc is produced at Volkswagen's Autoeuropa factory in Palmela, Portugal. This marks the first Cooper tyre to be specified as an OE fitment for Volkswagen.


The new school year is just around the corner. Are you ready? In addition to buying school supplies and reviewing your schedule, there are other important things you need to do to prepare. One critical thing to check on is your computer. If you or your student will be using a laptop for class, you'll want to make sure it's in good working condition. MP Computer Services is your local computer repair service and we want you to have a great classroom experience. Here are four ways you can get your computer up to speed for the new school year.
Get it serviced – Many students have to get a checkup before they return to class. Did you know that your computer needs one, too? Bring it to a repair shop for an inspection. While it's in the shop, technicians can perform any necessary maintenance.
Install updates – How often do you ignore those notices to update your computer? While the updates may seem minor, failing to install them can affect the operation of your machine. Get things up-to-date and your computer will likely process data more efficiently – and faster, too.
Clean up your files – If your desktop's gotten too cluttered to find what you need, take a few moments to clean it off. Delete files you don't use and consolidate related items into folders. Uninstall programs you no longer use, move photos to cloud storage, and back up any important documents on an external hard drive. Freeing up some space will also help your computer operate better.
Install antivirus software – If you don't already have it, install antivirus and spyware protection programs on your computer. The last thing you want is for a computer virus to wipe out all of your hard work. Save yourself from a lot of stress this semester by protecting your computer upfront.
If your computer crashes or has other propblems, give MP Computer Services a call. Our computer repair technicians will help you recover your files and fix any problems.


When I'm in the mood for something that feels a little "naughty", there's nothing more satisfying than cooking up a bowl of sweet potato fries. I discovered this recipe recently and I'm in love! Not only are these fries baked and 100% good for you, the cinnamon and coconut adds a rich depth of flavor. They are finger-licking good!
If you're after a savory version, just swap the cinnamon for black pepper and a dash of cayenne or you could try a rosemary and himalayan salt version.
Cut ends off sweet potatoes and peel if they are not organic. Slice them lengthwise, then into strips about 1/4" thick.
In a large bowl, toss sweet potato slices with coconut oil, cinnamon and salt, making sure all pieces are coated.
Spread out over baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes (until edges are lightly browned), flipping halfway.

Google's VR future looks pretty comfy.
Today at its October hardware/software/everything event, the company showed off its latest VR initiatives including a Daydream headset. The $79 Daydream View VR headset looks quite a bit different than other headsets on the market with its fabric exterior.
Clay Bavor, head of VR, said the design is meant to be more comfortable and friendly. It's unclear whether the cloth aesthetic is a recommendation for the headset reference design as Xiaomi's Daydream headset is similarly soft and decidedly design-centric.
The headset and the Google Daydream platform will launch in November.
Notably, while Samsung's $99 Gear VR requires the user to slot the phone into the headset using the phone's data port, Google is opting to keep the headset as simple as possible without any embedded sensors or controls. The headset connects wirelessly to the phone.
Speaking of controls, Google's VR headset includes a single Daydream controller. Like Google detailed at I/O in May, the controller will have three-degrees-of-freedom meaning it isn't as sophisticated as the controllers on any of the desktop VR headsets but it can do just about everything a Nintendo Wiimote could thanks to motion-sensing IMUs.
Again, the headset is largely just a refined viewer that fits into the new Android Nougat ecosystem with its low-latency VR mode. The headset will not have any external trackers to enable something like positional tracking. There currently are not any consumer VR systems with that technology available, though it's something Oculus has been toiling over in recent years. It's unclear whether Oculus will have any announcements related to mobile at its Oculus Connect 3 conference later this week.
Google's headset may not have all of the bells and whistles available on more serious VR headsets on the market right now but it will bring a quality Android VR experience to people sporting the latest Pixel phones.

Nigel Farage Returns As Britain Faces Nightmare New Brexit Elections
Full Gamut Radio 0 Comments April 13, 2019 April 13, 2019 Politics
COVENTRY, England–Theresa May's mortification at the paws of the European union countries was ended on Thursday not by one of those startling votes that has been beamed around the world from a raucous House of Commons but via a technocratic single-page note signed by a little-known British civil servant.
Away from the bear-pit of British parliamentary republic and not decorated by the cameras, the letter from Sir Tim Barrow to the chairman of the European Council countenancing another Brexit extension strengthened what we've long believed: The British prime minister has failed to deliver on the promise that has defined her premiership.
The country will not be leaving the European union countries within the two-year frame set out in 2017. May still hasn't dared to acknowledge it in public, but her agreement to slow Brexit day until October 31 — Halloween–means Britain now faces the ordeal situation of holding elections next month to appointed new members to a European Parliament the country voted to quit three years ago.
Her unwillingness to come clean about it will simply help to rekindled the rage of a nation that feels mischievously let down over Brexit.
Europe anxieties an influx of vengeful pro-Brexit lawmakers looking to stir up disturbance in Brussels. Britain's main parties worry this is gonna be humiliated by their most radical counterparts on the two sides of the Brexit spectrum in the midst of a period of political frustration that has threatened to upend the traditional two-party structure as well as splitting neighbours and family members down a brand-new political fault line.
The Labour Party is so scared of the response from its pro- and anti-Brexit backstages that it has sought to navigate the swirl with a policy of" productive ambiguity ." That will be sorely tested by adversity to amply explain their eventual program purpose during the election campaign–do they want to stay in the European Union or not?
Labour is currently engaged in Brexit negotiations with the governmental forces, but their chances of the two parties disturbing a deal that would pass Parliament in time to avoid the European elections seems remote.
Jeremy Corbyn, a longstanding Eurosceptic, has been edging towards an anti-Brexit primacy but nowhere near fast enough for the majority of the party's grassroots members and even many of its legislators. Some of the lawmakers discontinue the two parties in February to met an explicitly anti-Brexit party that is expected to contest the European elections for the purposes of the mention Change UK. The Radical Democrat, the Scottish National Party, and the Greens also crave Britain to stay in the European Union–voters are likely to absconds the main parties in record lists as they seek to express a clearly defined preference in what could become a proxy second referendum.
" Theresa May has gone to Europe with her begging bowl time and time again. I could no longer stand by and watch that ."
— Annunziata Rees-Mogg
On the other side of the European debate, the Conservative came face-to-face with an old-fashioned nemesis on Friday. Nigel Farage propelled his new Brexit Party which will stand in next month's elections on the simple send that May's deal must be thrown out and a" proper Brexit" delivered.
May and the Conservative Party was considered that they are trying to deliver Brexit, but opinion polls increasingly be stated that her accommodation administer is hated by Brexiteers as well as those who want to Remain.
One of the prominent express inside the Conservative Party pushing for a harder Brexit, or even a no-deal gate-crash out of the union, has been Jacob Rees-Mogg. Earlier this month, he finally acquiesced and backed his leader's compromise consider saying that he feared Brexit might not happen at all unless the two parties coalesced behind May.
There is little signal of solidarity. On Friday, his own sister "re coming out" against that slot in striking style; seeing unannounced on stage in Coventry to be reputation as one of the Brexit Party's election candidates.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg was a two-time Conservative campaigner selected to be on the party's -Alist of nominees under onetime supervisor David Cameron. Her decision to quit and fight against her brother's party highlightings just how savagely Brexit has cut across party and familial lines.
" You don &# x27; t do everything your brother or sister supposed to say to you; I don &# x27; t do everything he says to me. We agree on the results of this, we just see different streets there ," Annunziata Rees-Mogg told The Daily Beast." It &# x27; s been a extremely, very sad, gradual eroding as Theresa May has gone to Europe with her imploring container time and time again. I could no longer stay where you are and watch that ."
She said she "wouldve been" "stunned" if her friend likewise left the Conservative Party to fight for his explanation of Brexit, but splitting member states and voters away from the Conservatives is the primary object of the Brexit Party.
The party's campaign was launched in the heart of Brexit country. Coventry is less than an hour on the train north of London, but the Midlands is worlds apart when it comes to the biggest political issue of the day, as both traditional Labour and Conservative voters now have shaken decisively behind Brexit.
Another of the Brexit Party candidates, Ben Habib, a onetime Conservative donor, said had run out of fortitude with the party's Brexit position last year. He hadn't told his Republican contacts that he was joining the Brexit Party until "hes been" launched as presidential candidates at the occurrence on Friday." I don &# x27; t guess they &# x27; ll be pleased, but I did caution them I wasn &# x27; t joyous at all ," he told The Daily Beast.
Habib expects the party to capture the national imagination and reassuring as much as 20 percent of the vote." If beings come out en masse, it could be contentious and it could be quite an interesting proxy ," he said." The main parties will have to listen ."
Farage hopes the new Brexit party will volunteer voters a clean slate after his old right-wing U.K. Independence Party( UKIP) became mired in a number of racism scandals.
He made a swipe at his former colleagues who have moved to embrace far-right YouTube virtuosoes and street movement agitators since he stood down as manager, saying they had attracted a" loutish fringe ."
" I don &# x27; t believing that Middle England, good parties, want to vote for a registered political party that is linked with extremism, violence, criminal records and thuggery ," he said.
The Brexit Party, however, has already lost its original lead, Catherine Blaiklock, when old-time prejudiced and Islamophobic social media poles emerged last month indicating the two parties is likely to be allure some of the offensive elements drawn to Farage's outspoken politics.
The clean start, and Britain's broken political landscape, has selected some unlikely adherents to the Brexit Party. Alka Sehgal Cuthbert, another of the party's new candidates, is a former member of the Revolutionary Communist Party.
" My son still learns it is very hard to endure this ," she told The Daily Beast.
" It's widely recognized that Left and Right have lost their representing so we need new principles to locate our politics on, and for me issues of republic is the key–I &# x27; m not doing this for Nigel Farage ."
Farage hopes to push his Brexit betrayal narrative hard enough for the party to have a previous impact on a British political organization that is tightening under the pressure.
" The terribly parole Brexit is no longer just about leaving the European Union. The text Brexit represents a cognitive state ," he said.
Increasingly the word Brexit represents a country losing its psyche, and that might just be Farage's moment to affect.

Smith, a lawyer, prepared Ms. Bjornsson's will and acted as executor to her estate after her death in October 2006. The principal asset of the estate was a home appraised at $90,000. The beneficiaries were her two sons (receiving 41.66% each) and the Winnipeg Humane Society ("WHS")(receiving 16.68%).
In December 2006, the sons contacted Mr. Smith numerous times requesting proceeds from the estate. Mr. Smith indicated that the administration of the estate, including the sale of the home, would need to be completed before any money was released. He estimated it could take approximately one year to complete. The sons continued to make requests for proceeds from the estate. Mr. Smith told them the appraised value of the home was $90,000, however he could arrange for a quick sale to an "investor" for $50,000. If agreed to, Mr. Smith would immediately release $10,000 to each son. He would release the balance of their share when the property title passed to the purchaser. The sons agreed.
The sale was finalized in June 2007. Mr. Smith had failed to disclose that the investor was his wife. This prompted the WHS & the sons filed claims with the Law Society of Manitoba's Reimbursement Fund seeking compensation for the difference between the appraised value and the amount it was sold for to Mr. Smith's wife. In June 2012, the Law Society paid the sons and WHS $47,000 from the reimbursement fund in exchange for a release and assignment from the estate. The Law Society then commenced action against Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith moved to have the action struck on the basis it was being funded by the Law Society and thus a product of champerty or maintenance. The motion was dismissed. Mr. Smith appealed. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal.
The Court found that the Law Society had a legitimate interest in the outcome of the lawsuit: the recovery of $47,000 paid out of the reimbursement fund. The purpose of the fund was to compensate claimants who suffered loss due to misappropriation of funds by a member of the Law Society.
champerty is the process whereby the maintainer shares in the profits of the litigation.
Although litigation funding has been prevalent in the U.S., U.K., and Australia for some time, it has until recently been more limited in Canada. This matter furthers the notion that courts may be more broadly accepting of litigation funding or third party agreements in certain circumstances. The key consideration in these cases has been the balance between access to justice and preventing the abuse of the administration of justice.
Schenk v Valeant Pharmaceuticals International Inc., 2015 ONSC 3215: "Counsel could not locate any cases in which third party funding has been extended to the context of commercial litigation. This being said, I see no reason why such funding would be inappropriate in the field of commercial litigation." (para. 8) Schenk also commented on the criteria of third party agreements, namely a 50% cap on proceeds is reasonable (para. 17) and termination rights for the funder should be included within the agreement (para. 23).
the scope may be broadened from class action lawsuits to commercial litigation.
Although the Court discussed litigation funding, champerty and maintenance, this matter provided a twist on third party agreements. The Reimbursement Fund allowed the Law Society to compensate the beneficiaries $47,000, thus enabling the Law Society to create an interest in the lawsuit. However, the reasoning put forth by the Court affirms that a purely financial interest is not sufficient in proving an improper motive. The Court further suggests that the onus is on the Appellant to demonstrate that the third party does not have a legitimate interest in the outcome of the lawsuit, and thus an improper motive.
By affirming that providing financial support to a lawsuit may not amount to maintenance or champerty, the Court has opened the door for litigation funders to involve themselves in lawsuits by way of third party agreements. The Court follows the reasoning of lower court decisions in enhancing the flexibility of claimants in accessing justice in a reasonable manner. This case was among the few to discuss litigation funding and third party agreements at the appellate level. With the recent emergence of international litigation funding companies in Canada, the next case heard on this matter at the appellate level may open the doors wider for litigation funders in a commercial context.
Counsel for Appellant: S. Green, Q.C.

A number of emerging market economies intervened in the foreign exchange markets to limit currency appreciation pressure, including intervening in the spot market and taxing purchases of domestic securities. The South African Reserve Bank did not intervene, instead allowing the rand exchange rate to be determined by forces of demand and supply.
The Foreign Exchange Market in the United States 26 role of the Federal Reserve in the foreign exchange market is discussed more fully in Chapter 9. Intervention operations designed to influence foreign exchange market conditions or the exchange rate represent a critically important aspect of central banks' foreign exchange transactions.
Structure of the Market. The foreign exchange market in Korea is divided into OTC markets and exchanges. The OTC markets consist of a customer market, where foreign exchange banks deal with customers such as importers, exporters, travelers and nonresidents, and an interbank market, where foreign exchange banks deal among themselves.
Foreign-exchange operations did not end after the United States stopped its activist approach to intervention. Japan persisted in such operations, but avoided overt conflict with its monetary policy.

Following the ninth-place finish on their return to the top flight last term, many fans would have been expecting Marcelo Bielsa's side to kick on.
However, life in the Premier League is not that easy and, while the performances have improved recently, they are yet to reach the levels of the 2020/21 campaign.
A selection of pundits and fans of other teams had begun to bask in Leeds' early struggles with many highlighting 'second season syndrome' as the root of the problems at Elland Road.
In truth, there have been a number of contributing factors to the Whites' slow start with injuries being the worst, by some way.
Already this season, the majority of Leeds' best XI have been injured in some capacity, missing vital games in the process.
With those absentees having already returned or being on their way back to full fitness, optimism is starting to replace pessimism in West Yorkshire, especially after the 1-0 victory against Crystal Palace on Tuesday evening.
Raphinha's 93 rd -minute penalty looks as though it could be a real turning point in the season but it isn't the first time, and won't be the last, that the same has been said of a pivotal Leeds goal this term.
We have taken a look at the five defining moments of the season so far.
Bamford's injury away at Newcastle
After picking up just two points from their opening four matches, Leeds travelled to equally winless Newcastle in mid-September hoping to come away with all three points.
Raphinha and Allan Saint-Maximin had scored in the first half to make it 1-1 at the break and both sides were pushing for a winner in the second period.
As the visitors looked for the game's winning goal, Patrick Bamford collided with Javier Manquillo in, what looked like, a fairly innocuous challenge on the edge of the Newcastle 18-yard box.
The England striker saw out of the rest of the match despite looking in some discomfort and was subsequently ruled out of the following matches against Fulham and West Ham with the extent of his ankle injury unclear.
Fast forward two and a half months and Bamford is still yet to feature for Leeds, although he is on his way back after playing 90 minutes for the U23s on Monday night.
His presence in the frontline has been greatly missed with the Whites scoring just nine goals in their last nine Premier League games.
Tyler Roberts, Dan James, Rodrigo and Joe Gelhardt have all been tried in the 28-year-old striker's absence but with no real success.
Had Bamford been fit for those matches, it is hard to imagine that Leeds would be sat 15 th in the table, especially considering the amount of chances they have created in that period.
Michail Antonio's late winner for West Ham at Elland Road
The next game after the visit to St James' Park saw an in-form West Ham side travel north on the back of a strong start to the campaign.
Bielsa's injury problems had just about reached a head in that match as Charlie Cresswell was handed his Leeds debut on the right-hand side of the defence next to Jamie Shackleton.
Despite contrasting starts to the season, Leeds were the better team for the majority of the match but were dealt a cruel sucker punch by the league's stand-out performer at the time.
Cresswell had managed to keep Michail Antonio relatively quiet for 89 minutes but the Hammers striker did his best work in the final minute as he took the ball past Shackleton and finished calmly past Illan Meslier.
Even though they had watched their team play well, the late defeat started murmurs of fear within the Leeds fanbase as they dropped into the bottom three for the first time since the opening day of last season.
Patrick Bamford return, Leeds United board investment, Rodrigo's troubles
Rodrigo's even later equaliser against Wolves
A few weeks later, there was another frustrating match at Elland Road that Leeds dominated but ultimately looked like they'd come away from empty handed.
But Gelhardt's introduction from the bench totally changed the game. After replacing Mateusz Klich, he was brilliant and his impact earned Bielsa's side a point when he was brought down in the box following a spell-binding run.
In the absence of the Polish midfielder, Rodrigo stepped up and sent Jose Sa the wrong way, sending the Leeds fans into euphoria behind the goal.
That goal seemed to ignite the season after a start that threatened to undo all the good work that they had done in their return to the Premier League.
A trio of much improved performances have since followed, albeit only yielding four points, but they have been better all the same.
Forshaw's return
When Andrea Radrizzani claimed, on Twitter, that Adam Forshaw was going to be like a new signing this season, to say that Leeds fans didn't believe him would be an understatement.
Since making his first league start in two years, the Whites owner's comments have hardly been wrong with the 30-year-old turning in all-action performances of the highest order.
He deservedly received the Man of the Match award for the part he played in the 1-1 draw against Leicester and, more recently, was once again brilliant in the 1-0 win against Palace.
His impact in the last couple of weeks has significantly eased the pressure on Kalvin Phillips who was being run into the ground for both his club and his country.
Considering the length and severity of his injury lay-off, it has been the distance covered by Forshaw that is most impressive as no blade of grass has gone untouched by the former Middlesbrough man.
While he isn't necessarily the new signing that Leeds supporters craved in the summer, his influence since returning to fitness is something they could only wish for from an incoming player.
Raphinha's Crystal Palace winner
Finally, after 14 games of the Premier League season, it feels like Leeds' campaign is underway. Despite looking for large parts of Tuesday evening's game like the contest would end goalless, there was time for a winner deep into stoppage time.
The Whites had probably been the better team but a glaring Christian Benteke miss would, and should, have put Palace in front in the second half.
It ultimately cost Vieira's side a share of the points when Liam Cooper's header crashed onto Marc Guehi's arm. The wait for the VAR decision was agonising after the hosts surrounded Kevin Friend appealing for a penalty.
The correct decision was eventually awarded and when Raphinha grabbed the ball, there shouldn't have been anyone inside Elland Road worried that he was going to miss but there understandably were.
His disjointed run up begged for early movement from Vicente Guaita but it never came. That still didn't matter as the Brazilian winger stroked it past him and into the back of the net anyway.
Somewhere in the jubilant celebrations was an almighty sigh of relief as it ensured Leeds would put vital breathing space between themselves and the relegation zone ahead of an extremely tough run of fixtures.
Bielsa's side must now look to repeat the same result against Brentford again on Sunday as they then look to fixtures against Chelsea, Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool in the space of a couple of weeks.

Documenting the ethnic cleansing of truth (and people) by the anti-Semitic Jews.
ZIONISM FROM THEODOR HERZL TO LORD ROTHSCHILD
The ZIONISTS
by George Armstrong
Palestine and Theodor Herzl
In 1896 Austrian journalist and playwright Theodor Herzl (1860-1904) who founded the Zionist movement was the first person to write of "the Jewish Question" when he wrote, "The Jewish State. A modern attempt to solve the JEWISH QUESTION!" All these years the NSDAP has been unjustly blamed for talking about "A final solution to the Jewish Question" when the suggestion was Herzl's.
His Majesty's government view with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of the existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country." - Balfour Declaration.
Mineral Wealth of Dead Sea
The value of the minerals of the Dead Sea is estimated at five trillion dollars. This estimate appears to be optimistic but it is supported in part by the report of the Crown Agents of the British Colonies entitled "Production of Minerals From the Waters of the Dead Sea" (page 2). It is alleged that all copies of this booklet containing this report have been destroyed except those in the British Museum, Colonial office, and House of Commons. This official report estimates the minerals, except oil, in 1925 as follows: Magnesium Chloride, 22,000 tons, value 600 billion dollars; Potassium Chloride, 20,000 tons, value 75 billion dollars; other minerals valued at 1,200 billion dollars; or a total of about three trillion dollars, exclusive of oil (The Palestine Mystery, pages 12 and 13).
This enormous value staggers the imagination. I am unable to appraise the effect on the human race if the Zionists gain undisputed title to it, or if it should be devoted to public use.
This huge concession was first granted by the British Colonial Secretary to the Russian Zionist Moise Novemeysky in 1923 and finally granted on January 1, 1930, by the British House of Lords to "Palestine Potash Limited", a joint stock company. This company, so far as known, is composed wholly of American, British, and Russian Zionist Jews. Mr. H.H. Klein, a patriotic Jew, states that there are 1500 American stockholders and that they organized themselves into a corporation known as "Palestine Associates Inc.," with a capital of $400,000,000 and that this group owns 581,000 shares of the parent company. He states that Moise Novemeysky owns 30,000 shares; that Casenove Nominees Ltd., owns 221,075 shares; that Palestine Economic Corporation, dominated by the Warburgs, owns 45,111 shares, and that the Anglo Palestine Bank Nominees owns 42,935 shares. He says also that Palestine Potash Ltd. has three American directors, viz: Benjamin Brodie, Julius Simons, and Robert Szold, whose brother is a member of the banking firm of Lehman Bros.
Mr. H. H. Klein says of the British concession and the protocols:
"The aim of Zionist leaders was to establish a Jewish state in Palestine. Why?
'Was it in order to fulfill the plan outlined in the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, for world conquest; or was it to protect the concession from the exploitation of all the chemical wealth in the Dead Sea in Palestine, estimated at five thousand billion (five trillion) dollars?
"If it is for the purpose of world conquest, then Jews have been fatally deceived, because Zionist leaders and their financier backers maintain that the Protocols are a forgery. If it is for the purpose of extracting chemical wealth from the Dead Sea, then Jews have been shamefully imposed upon because that purpose has never been mentioned by Zionist leaders.
"If the Protocols are a 'forgery' whatever that may mean, it is the most remarkable 'forgery' ever perpetrated because every step outlined in that amazing document of over 30.000 words, is an accomplished fact. This so-called forgery was published fifty years ago. At that time, the value of the chemicals of the Dead Sea was known to the financial backers of Theodor Herzl who is known as the 'father of Zionism'."
The financial backers of Theodor Herzl were M. A. Rothschild & Son of Paris and N. M. Rothschild & Son of London. Mr. Klein confirms the opinion expressed by Henry Ford in The International Jew, viz: That the protocols explain current history. There can be no reasonable question about the authenticity of the protocols and the fact that they were adopted by World Zionist Jewry and that they represent the plan of the Zionist Jews for creating a World Empire. The first and second World Wars were for that purpose and so, likewise, was the Jewish invasion of Palestine. That was also the purpose of the League of Nations and is the purpose of the United Nations - all Zionist enterprises. Mr. Klein says further that the "American Group," owners of 51,000 shares of Palestine Potash, Ltd., incorporated in 1930 under the name of "Palestine Associates, Inc.," and that "at least seven of the directors of this corporation are members of the American Jewish Committee." He says that ex-Governor of New York Herbert H. Lehman has been honorary head of Palestine Economic Corporation for many years and that this corporation "owns banks, water companies, land holding companies, hotels, and agricultural corporations in Palestine." He says that these facts have been concealed from the Jews and that they have been used as tools by their Zionist leaders. Henry Morgenthau, Jr. is now at the head of this corporation.
The "Balfour Declaration" was made in a letter from Lord Balfour to Lord Rothschild. This same Lord Rothschild was a member of the Zionist International Conference at Bazle, Switzerland in 1897 that adopted the Protocols. This same Lord Rothschild was also a member of the British House of Lords that gave this huge wealth to Palestine Potash Ltd. The Rothschild interests are at the head of political Zionism and they promoted the invasion of Palestine. Their position in our government and financial system is such that they can bring about deflation and a third world war.
A Gigantic Steal
If Palestine has one fourth of its estimated mineral value it will enable the Zionists to control the destiny of the peoples of the world. The Zionist invasion of Palestine is a gigantic steal and an infamous outrage against Christian civilization. Under present circumstances it means a third world war and that the new state of Israeli will line up with the Bolsheviks. The only way to avoid it and to assure permanent peace is to destroy the Rothschild agencies, - alias Zionist Wall Street. It is indeed the best way to restore the solvency of our country and of the world, and to restore constitutional government.
The "Balfour Declaration" to Lord Rothschild and the gift of this fabulous wealth to him and his fellow Zionists is evidence that he and his fellow Zionists then controlled the British Empire. If the British Government were authorized to give it to the Zionists they had the power to keep it or to give it to us as security for our donations, or to give it to the United Nations for the preservation of world peace. They gave it to the war-promoting Zionists for the obvious purpose of promoting Zionism.
Theodor Herzl, of Austria, was the founder of Political Zionism. It was established at a secret convention of Zionist leaders August 29th to 31st, 1897, in Bazle, Switzerland. It was at this convention that the "Bazle Programme" - the Protocols were adopted. Herzl presided at the conference and it was due to his untiring energy and zeal that the conference was called. The object of the Bazle Programme was to unite the scattered Jews of the world into a separate and independent nation and a World Empire. The "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" represent their method of accomplishing this end, and evidently Herzl was one of the authors.
The Zionists revere Herzl as their messiah. They transferred his remains from Austria by airplane and reburied them with pomp and ceremony in Jerusalem. They published a very laudatory "Memorial" of him under the auspices of "The New Palestine," official organ of the Zionist Organization of America edited by Meyer W. Weisgal, and copyrighted in 1929 by "The New Palestine." This Memorial contains many laudatory contributions by prominent Jews. It contains also Theodor Herzl's diary, admitting that it was censored and expurgated by the editors. This diary is an interesting history of Herzl's effort to arouse the Jews to the importance of nationalization, and of his financial difficulties and sacrifices in doing so.
Palestine was not the ancestral home of the Khazar and Ashkenazim Jews. That is only a pretense for obtaining its mineral wealth and the creation of a Zionist Empire. The Jews have always had good homes in America and all other countries in which they have lived. They are the usurers of the work and have always been. They were designated the aristocrats of Europe by the Zionist leader Samuel Untermeyer. They are not farmers. I have never known or heard of a Jew farmer an, I have lived a long time and farmed in three states, viz: Texas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma. Some of them OWN farms, but they do not work them. There may be some "displaced" Jews but we support them. If given the best farms in America or Palestine they would not work them. They don't know how to farm and farming in Palestine or America is not their purpose. They farm the Christians, not the land.
The ancestors of the small Sephardic tribe once lived in Asia. but their descendants constitute only about 5% of the present Jewish population. The present day Jews, including the Rothschilds, are either of the Ashkenazi or Khazar tribes. These Jews are and always have been nomadic predatory people. It was a company of these Jews that bought and sold Joseph. They have always been traders and the dealers in slavery and narcotics and usury. The Roosevelt fortune was founded by a Jewish opium smuggler.
A few days after the adjournment of the first Bazle convention, to-wit, on September 3, 1897, Herzl said of it in his dairy
"If I were to subsume the Bazle Congress in one word which I shall not do openly - it would be this: at Bazle I founded the Jewish State" (Diaries of Theodor Herzl, page 149).
They appointed an "inner action committee" at this first Congress and founded the "Jewish Colonial Bank." He says, (page 151):
"The Bazle Congress represents the creation of the Society of Jews for the Jewish State . . . The work of the next few years will be the creation of the Jewish Company, temporarily called the Jewish Colonial Bank."
The protocols obviously represent the programme of their secret "Inner Action Committee."
Kaiser Wilhelm Interested
Herzl first sought the aid of Kaiser Wilhelm. He says of the Kaiser in his diary, October 19, 1898:
"The Kaiser, in the dark uniform of a Hussar, came toward me. I stood still and made a deep bow. He came up to me, almost to the door, and offered me his hand. I believe he said that he was glad to see me, or something like that. I said: 'Your Imperial Majesty, I am happy to be the recipient of this distinction.' . . .
"He soon took over the lead and explained why he considered the Zionist movement of worth. Unfortunately I was an embarrassed listener, and I had to exert all my strength in preparing the replies, so that I have not been able to retain all the details. He never mentioned the Jews except as my 'Landsleute' - and not in an exactly friendly tone. He had no doubt that we had sufficient money and manpower at our disposal to carry out the colonization of Palestine. Here my attention failed a little, for I was observing my own impression that my three years of work have made of the world 'Zionism,' a terme recu, which the Kaiser used freely in speaking with me.
"'There are,' he said, 'among your Landsleute certain elements which it would be well to have immigrate into Palestine. I am thinking, for instance, of those cases where there are a number of usurers among the country people. If these were to take their wealth and settle in the colonies, they would make themselves more useful.' These were his words, more or less.
"The Kaiser observed that he believed the Jews would set about the colonization of Palestine if they knew that he would keep them under his protection, and that they really would not be leaving Germany.
"I said: 'Your Excellency, that is purely a matter of money. As a writer I regret to have to say it.'
"I felt my arguments growing stronger and stronger under the encouragement of the Kaiser's approval" (Pages 154-5).
Herzl later met the Kaiser in Palestine, to-wit, on October 28, 1898. He said of this meeting:
"He laughed, and flashed with his kingly eyes: "'How are you?'
"'I thank Your Majesty. I am seeing the country. How has your Majesty's journey been so far?'"His eyes flashed.
"'Very hot. But the land has a future.'
"'At present it is still sick,' I said . . .
"'It needs water, much water,' he said, speaking downward at me.
"'Yes, Your Majesty. Colonization on a grand scale.'
"He repeated: 'It is a land of the future.'
"The spectators of Mikveh Israel were utterly dazed. A few of them asked who that had been. The Rothschild administrators looked timid and irritated . . .
"'The settlements which I have seen, the German as well as those of your Landsleute, may serve as a model of what can be done in this country. The land has room for all. Only provide water and shade. For the native population, too, the colonies can serve as models to be imitated. Your movement, with which I am well acquainted, contains a healthy idea.'. .
"'Well, you certainly don't lack the money," exclaimed the Kaiser jovially, and slapped his whip against his boots. 'You have more money than all the rest of us.'"
The Kaiser was willing to sponsor the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine as a colony of the German Empire, but that did not fit in with Herzl's plans. It would have meant that the German government would acquire the mineral wealth of Palestine and Herzl wanted it for the Rothschilds and Zionists and their independent state.
Negotiates with Sultan of Turkey
Failing to make a satisfactory deal with the Kaiser, Herzl sought to acquire Palestine from the Sultan of Turkey, first with the Kaiser's support and later by direct negotiation with the Sultan's minister, N. Bey. He first offered Bey 1,000 francs to arrange for an interview with the Sultan. Seeing that was not enough, he offered 20,000 francs. He said of N. Bey in his diary, August 22, 1899:
"At first he was dry, unfriendly, as if he did not know why I had come. Soon I got the truth out - the twenty thousand francs were not enough. He said: 'Considering your position in the Zionist movement, an audience means a great deal to you. Besides, any banker would offer me twice as much as you did for an audience with the Sultan.'
'We won't haggle about this,' I said. 'You will get forty thousand.'. .
'You ought to give this man ten or fifteen thousand francs, to make Stimmung for you.'
"I saw where this was leading to. Money talks. I said to him, almost harshly: 'I shall give you ten thousand francs in advance, and thirty thousand on the day of the audience. How you use that money is your business. I won't ask you what you have done with it.'
"He became as soft as butter and said: 'Done! I'll have to add some money of my own to it, but the speculation is worth it. I believe I can earn a couple of million on this: and that's worth a risk" (Pages 164-5; 158-9).
"Herzl said of his interview with the Sultan (page 170-1):
"But this is not enough for me. I told him (the Sultan) through Ibrahim that I was devoted to him because he was good to the Jews. The Jews all over the world were grateful to him. I in particular was ready to serve him in every way possible, naturally not on a small scale - I left that to others - but on a large scale . . .
"Then the Sultan said: 'I always have been and still am a friend of the Jews. I rely chiefly on Mussulmans and Jews. I haven't as much faith in my other subjects as in them' . . .
'The Public Debt I consider to be the thorn. If this could be removed then Turkey could once more blossom in her strength, in which I believe'. . .
'Well then,' I said, 'I believe I can. But the first and principal condition, a condition of precedent, is absolute secrecy.'
"The ruler lifted his eyes to heaven, placed his hand on his bosom and murmured: 'Secret, secret!'
"I said, - as from now on I kept the reins of the conversation in my hand - that I could carry through this operation through my friends on all the Exchanges of Europe, if I had the help of His Majesty. But this help had to consist, at the right time, of a mass measure in favor of the Jews, made public in the proper way.
"Ibrahim sucked in with astounded looks the words of his master and translated them with joy. 'His Majesty has a court jeweler, who is a Jew. He could give anything of a friendly nature to him, to publish in the papers. He also has a Chief Rabbi for the Jews, the Chasham Bashi. He could also tell him.'
"My impression of the Sultan is that he is a weak, cowardly, but thoroughly well-meaning person. I think he is neither treacherous nor cruel, but a deeply unhappy prisoner, in whose name a thieving, infamous and dishonest camarillia commit the most shameful acts . . .
"The dishonesty and bribery which began at the door of the palace and wind up only at the foot of the throne are probably not the worst. Everything is business, and every official is a thief. At least, I hear this on every side, and from what I know of the way things are done, I do not believe this to be a calumny . . .
"I still see him before me, this Sultan of the dying robber kingdom. Small, shabby, with his badly dyed beard - which is probably dyed only once in a week, for the Selamlik. The hook-nose of a clown, the long yellow teeth and the big gap in the upper jaw to the right. The fez drawn down deep over his head, which is probably bald - the protruding ears. The strengthless hands in the big white gloves, and the ill-fitting, big, multicolored cuffs. The bleating voice, the limitation in every word. And that rules! As a matter of fact he rules only in appearance and in name."
Herzl proposed to lend the Sultan 1,500,000 pounds (about five million dollars) if the Sultan would grant a charter giving the Zionists Palestine. The Sultan, Herzl says, did not know anything about its vast mineral wealth. It was only known to Herzl and the Rothschilds. The editor of the Memorial says in a footnote:
"Herzl will not budge before he has the charter. The Sultan apparently will not budge before he gets money - if then" (Diaries, page 173).
"However, the impasse was partially broken. The Sultan would open his empire to all Jews who wish to become Turkish subjects, but the regions to be settled were to be decided from instances to instances, and Palestine was not to be included. The Company could colonize in Mesopotamia, Syria, Anatolia, but not in Palestine. A Charter without Palestine I refused at once" (Diaries, page 174).
It was obviously the plan of Herzl to found a Zionist Empire; That probably was also the purpose of the Rothschilds and oil rich Jews, and it was the only basis on which Herzl could interest them in his Zionist Empire scheme. This plan was clearly revealed in his diary memo of September 4, 1899, as follows:
"Yesterday, after the opera, I had supper in the Hotel Bristol, with Martin Furth. He told me that the day before he had met N. Bey at the races. The latter had spoken to him very favorably of Zionism. It was not impossible, he said, to win the Sultan over to the idea, as the latter was a friend of the Jews. BUT THE NEWSPAPERS OUGHT NOT TO WRITE THAT WE WANT TO FOUND A JEWISH EMPIRE. N. Bey, said Furth, has been very serious about it. He asked me if I knew him. "Very faintly," I said" (Diaries, page 165).
Herzl interviews Chamberlain and Rothschild
Herzl approached the British through Lord Rothschild and the British Prime Minister Chamberlain, to-wit: on October 23, 1902. He said in his diary of that date:
"I laid the entire Jewish question before the immobile mask which is Joe Chamberlain. My relations to Turkey,
'I am in negotiation with the Sultan,' I said in English.
'But you know what Turkish negotiations are. If you want to buy a carpet, first you must drink a half dozen cups of coffee and smoke a hundred cigarettes. Then you discuss family stories, and from time to time you speak a few words again about the carpet. Now I have time to negotiate, but my people have not. They are starving in the Pale. I must bring them immediate help.' And so on. The mask smiled at the carpet story. I then passed on to the subject of the territory which I wanted from England."
Herzl also said:
"I set my hopes on Chamberlain, whom I shall see next week. He stands at a distance from the whole business, sees it from a higher point - AND DOES NOT KNOW THE VALUE OF THE BIG STRETCH OF LAND FOR WHICH I AM ASKING" (Diaries, page 178).
But the Rothschilds knew the value of the "big stretch of land" for which he was asking. When he and the Kaiser visited Palestine they found the Rothschild agents there (see supra). Lord Walter Rothschild to whom the Balfour Declaration was made, was not at first very friendly to his colonization scheme. Herzl (p. 176) says of his interview with him:
"In England, said Rothschild, there will never be any anti-Semitism, etc. In France, too, it was something else, etc. He does not believe in Zionism. We should never get Palestine, etc. He is an Englishman and wants to remain one. He 'desires' me to say this and that to the Alien Commission, and not to say this and the other.
At this point the business became too stupid for me. I had interrupted him a couple of times. But now I began to overshout him in such a way that he was dazed and kept his mouth shut. . .
'I shall tell the Commission what I think proper and the truth as I see it. That is my habit, and I shall cling to it now, too.'
It was false, I said, that the powers were against our going to Palestine. I have influenced Germany and Russia in our favor. England, I thought, would have nothing against it. I was PERSONA GRATIA with the Sultan.
'Yes,' he threw in, 'The Sultan is naturally friendly to you because you are Dr. Herzl of the Neue Freie Presse.'
'It would be stupid and arrogant of me,' I said, 'to read the Commission a lecture on the characteristics of the real Englishman. I shall simply say what terrible misery there is in the East, and that these people must either get away or perish. The need in Rumania has been known to us since 1897; the Congress petition received no attention. In Galicia it is perhaps even worse. There are seven hundred thousand people there in misery. They also begin to move.
My Lord said: 'I hope you are not going to say that to the Commission. Or else we shall have restrictions.'
At this point I became massive: 'Certainly I shall say it. You can count on that.'
Whereupon his jaw dropped, he rang, and called his brother Leopold.
To him he repeated what had been said, and added that in my opinion Jewish charity had merely become a machine for the suppression of the cry of misery . . .
At the same time I shall make a semi-official attempt to get in touch with Lord R. He is in a furious rage against me - perhaps this is the psychological moment for the conclusion of peace. When he was asked in the Commission why he was opposed to calling me, he said that I was demagogue, a windbag."
But he sold Rothschild on his plan as being the practical to obtain what both of them wanted. He said (Diaries, page 177):
"We went into the dining room, where I met Lord Roseberry's son and later Alfred, the third Rothschild, a true spiritual child of his father.
"Later, in my Lord's study, Alfred told me of his very high Austrian and Russian orders. 'Great, what? Kronenoden, first class.' The same Alfred asked me what I wanted to do for the Jews. Colonization? Good. But why in Palestine? It sounded so Jewish.
"After the coffee I went over to the writing desk and asked him:
'Would you like to hear my scheme now?'
'Yes'.
"I shoved my chair closer to his better ear and said:
'I want to get a Charter for Colonization from the English Government.'
'Don't say Charter. The word doesn't sound so good now.'
'Call it what you like. I want to found a Jewish colony in British territory.'
'Take Uganda.'
'No, I can use only this.. .' And as there were several others in the room I wrote on a piece of paper: Sinai Peninsula, Egyptian Palestine. Cyprus. And I added: 'Are you for it?'
"He reflected, grinning, and answered: 'Very much.'
That was victory; I then added on the piece of paper: STOP THE SULTAN FROM GETTING MONEY.
"He answered: 'I prevented Rumania from getting money. But here I can do nothing, as the great powers want it. They want to have the railway built.'
"I said: 'The Sultan offered me Mesopotamia.'
He, astounded: 'And you refused?'
'Yes.'"
Baron Rothschild of Paris was Original Zionist Promoter
Baron Edmond Rothschild of Paris, the managing partner of the original M. A. Rothschild & Son banking firm was the main support of the Zionist political movement in the beginning. Herzl says in his diary (page 196):
"For three extraordinarily difficult years they struggled against overwhelming odds, and would surely have been defeated had not a miracle saved them. . .
"The miracle was this: When one of the colonists of Rishon le Zion went to Paris and there saw Baron Edmond Rothschild and told him of the work of the Jewish settlements, the Baron grew so enthusiastic about the colonists that he immediately sent his representative to Palestine to study conditions and to help the settlers with money and advice. From that day on Baron Rothschild's interest in Jewish colonization has never waned; indeed, this work came to fill his entire life. He is known, and quite properly, as the father of Jewish colonization in Palestine. There is no doubt that it would have been impossible to preserve the early Jewish settlements and to establish new ones had not the Baron generously assisted the colonists at the beginning. He it was who, when the colonists did not know what branch of agriculture to choose, directed them toward wine-growing, by sending them expert instructors and good French vines, and by building large wine-vaults for them. In the first years, moreover, the Baron bought their grapes at a fixed price, thus assuring them of a definite income."
There can be no doubt about the fact that the principal purpose of Herzl was to nationalize the Zionists and to create a Zionist Empire. The Rothschilds wanted the minerals of Palestine. They knew about the fabulous mineral wealth of the Dead Sea and they wanted it and had taken steps to acquire it before meeting Herzl. Herzl's "Inner Action Committee" and Jewish Colonial Bank did not supply him with sufficient money for his campaign and he became very much discouraged in the early stages of it.
Herzl's Difficulties
In April 1899 he says (Diaries, page 162-3):
"While these gentlemen direct affairs, the worries of getting money for the preliminary work devolve on me. The guarantee fund is exhausted; I believe the money is being badly managed. Now H. writes me that he needs another six hundred to one thousand pounds."
"Never was a greater task undertaken with less adequate means.
"Tomorrow I must again ask pardon of my 'chiefs' for the leave of absence I have taken without their permission. Who knows how long they will let me carry on in this way?
"The movement demands my constant travel; and there is no doubt about it that the Neue Freie Presse can dismiss me for neglect of duty, 'with all the respect in the world for difference of opinion'. This pitiful clash of duties wearies me, unnerves me and wears me out more than anything else."
He says on August 23, 1899 (Diaries, page 163-4):
"Je La Connais Aussi. My work will look much more marvelous when people will get to know with what money worries I had to struggle as a result of my efforts of Zionism.
"I miss at every turn the fifty thousand kronen which I have sunk in the movement: the lack of the money makes me less free than ever in my relations to the Neue Freie Presse."
He appears to have been disillusioned by November 9, 1899. He says (Diaries, page 166):
"This is a good lesson for me. I suppose it would be even worse if I were completely ruined.
'Put not your trust in Princes -
They are an eternal delusion'
is something I might well say about the 'help' of the German Kaiser.
"But when I think of my followers, so easily prone to rebellion, I can add the end of the verse;
'He that cries Hosannah for you today
Tomorrow will cry: Crucify!'
"And, indeed, I put my trust neither in Princes, nor in the people, but in myself."
And on May 1, 1900, he says (Diaries, page 167):
"I have a first class epitaph for myself:
'He had too high an opinion of the Jews.'"
Herzl's Success
But after obtaining the support of the Rothschilds his spirits were revived. He records on June 13, 1901 (Diaries, page 172):
"Society is interested in me. I am a social curiosity, a dish; people come to meet Dr. Herzl.
"Yesterday Sir Francis Montefiore was here with several ladies and gentlemen. There were Princess Lowenstein, Lady Jane Taylor, and others whose names I have forgotten. Also Gilbert Farquhar, lord and actor.
"I shall use Princess Lowenstein, in order to reach the King. For they all invited me. Lady Jane was present as spectator at the last Congress and said her daughters envied her because she was lunching with me."
It appears from Herzl's diary that the Rothschilds had agents on the ground in Palestine when he met the Kaiser there on October 29, 1898 for he records the fact that "The Rothschild administrators looked taunt and irritated." They no doubt had other plans for obtaining the mineral wealth of the Dead Sea and feared that the presence of Herzl and the Kaiser would interfere with them. It was necessary for Herzl to sell Lord Rothschild on his colonization scheme as being the surest and best method to reach their goal.
When Herzl sold his plan of conquest to Lord Walter Rothschild, managing partner of N. M. Rothschild & Son and managing director of their Bank of England, his financial troubles were over. There was no longer any need for his colonial bank. N. M. Rothschild & Son took over the financing and management of Herzl's World Empire scheme and Herzl became their lieutenant. Herzl is now dead but the perpetual Rothschild partnership never dies. The two enormousy rich partnerships of M. A. Rothschild & Son of Paris and N. M. Rothschild & Son of London then and now control the gold and press of the world with minor exceptions, and the economy of the people of the world. It was to Lord Rothschild that Lord Balfour wrote his note promising Palestine. It was the agents of the Rothschilds that wrote our Federal Reserve Act. It was the agents of the Rothschilds that inveigled us into two wars and established the Zionist United Nations. The Rothschilds control the economy of the people of the world and seek to enslave them.
The Protocols represent the program of the Zionist "Inner Action Committee" then and now. They are the program of the Rothschilds. As bigoted and cruel and satanic as they are, they are not any more so than the Talmud and the Zionist Politburos of Moscow and Wall Street. They are rounded upon the Talmud and breathe its spirit. They were obviously written, at least in part, by Theodor Herzl himself. He was a very adroit and cunning man, a facile writer and a master of intrigue and deception as revealed by his diaries and other writings. But there is no mention of them in his dairy. The Zionists have sought to suppress them. If Herzl had actually referred to them, his Zionist editors would have omitted the reference.
The rich Zionists do not want Palestine as a "home" but for it mineral wealth, estimated at five trillion dollars. It is reported that they have a few collective farms patterned after the Soviet system and that they live in the cities and employ the Arabs to do the work. Their ancestral home propaganda is only camouflage, a smoke screen, to hide their real purpose. The majority of the are contented to live in the countries in which they reside, as their refugees to remain in idleness at our expense in German homes (given them by President Truman's order) until they can migrate to America.
Wealth of Palestine does not belong to Zionists
This enormous mineral wealth belongs to the Allies of World War I by right of conquest. It did not belong to the British - who were only its custodians by virtue of a mandate. The Zionists stole these minerals by the newly created and recognized state of Israeli. Theft is an ugly word but it forcibly expresses the truth. Lord Balfour knew nothing about these minerals when made his conditional promise. He did not promise a state and the minerals of Palestine, but, based on his restricted promise, the Zionists have created a state which includes the minerals within its boundaries. But Herzl and the Rothschilds knew about these minerals when they sought the "home," and as early as 1897.
We need these minerals for our national defense and we must repudiate this concession and recover them for the use and benefit of ourselves and our Allies of World War I. Moreover, their enormous wealth is sufficient to restore the solvency of the British and ourselves and our other Allies. The recovery of these minerals together with the destruction of Zionist Wall Street will establish the peace of the world and it will probably be a permanent peace. There is no other way. The Rothschilds must be banished and their ill-gotten wealth confiscated and devoted to the public good. herzl.htm

I think, Friends of Efrat is the best Jewish charity around. It simultaneously achieves major religious and political aims. I found it here samsonblinded.org/blog/the-best-jewish-charity.htm and donated that same day which is sort of unusual for me.
Leland Roth said...
9 The reason the International Bankers backed Political Zionism from 1914 to date is explained in another chapter dealing with events which led to World War Two. It is sufficient to say here that the International Bankers were interested in securing control of the Five Trillion Dollars worth of minerals and oil which had been discovered in Palestine by Cunningham-Craig, consulting Geologist to the British Government and others, prior to 1918. These geological reports were kept secret. In 1939 Cunningham-Craig was recalled from Canada to make another survey in the Middle East. He died under mysterious circumstances immediately after he had completed his task. To-day, i.e. 1954, arrangements are being made quietly by the big money people to exploit these resources.

Jew or Nazi Master Race?
Jewish eugenics pre-dates Hitler's Master Race
According to the Israeli daily newspaper quoted below, before the Nazi Third Reich in Germany plotted to create a Master Race from the European gene pool, Zionists had already established a racial purification program to create the perfect Jewish bloodline. More
From the horse's mouth:
"Our race is the Master Race. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves." -- Menachem Begin (Israeli Prime Minister, 1977-1983.

BLOOD PASSOVER
At the dawn of civilization, the blood rite, in which human blood is drunk from the body of a still-living victim, was known to many tribes. However, only one people, that has never progressed beyond the Stone Age, has continued to practice the blood rite and ritual murder. This people are known to the world as Jews.
The author of this book is not Christian, Muslim or Hindu but a Jew and is the son of the Chief Rabbi of Rome, and a professor of Jewish Renaissance and Medieval History at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, just outside Tel Aviv.
The following translation was performed free of charge to protest an injustice: the destruction by the ADL of Ariel Toaff's BLOOD PASSOVER on Jewish ritual murder.
They cut this Palestinian kid's arms for "throwing Stones" before murdering him
Repeat: The author is the son of the Chief Rabbi of Rome, and a professor of Jewish Renaissance and Medieval History at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, just outside Tel Aviv.
Dr. Toaff is uniquely qualified to write this book, being thoroughly familiar with the derivative literature in English, French, German and Italian, as well as the original documentary sources in Latin, Medieval Italian, Hebrew and Yiddish. This is not something he worked on in secret. On the contrary, he worked on it openly with his university students and colleagues in Israel for several years; one of his students was even going to publish a paper on the subject. The author is extremely careful about what he says, and his conclusions must be taken seriously. It reads like a detective story.
If it had been published in Israel, in Hebrew, no one would have cared. There are large bodies of literature in Hebrew that Jews do not wish Gentiles to know about. But Dr. Toaff's announcement of its publication in Italy, in Italian, raised a worldwide firestorm of fury. Under unbearable pressure, the book was withdrawn from publication, and is not to be re-issued.
You can strike a blow against censorship by circulating this text by e-mail or posting in on the Internet. No one can sue hundreds of people.
If the text is all over the Internet, and everybody has it and everybody knows what is in it, the cat will be out of the bag, and it will have to be published – sooner or later.
Come in out of the darkness, and strike a blow for the light.
Jewish Israeli professor – Arnon Sofer - made this quote to the Jerusalem Post regarding the Jewish-Zionist-Israeli people:
"If we want to remain alive, we will have to kill and kill and kill. All day, every day. If we don't kill we will cease to exist." -Israeli Prof. Arnon Sofer of Haifa University, Jerusalem Post
"When I open the police files I find detailed reports about Jewish criminals. The archives have enough material for 100 historians and for 100 years, and even then they won't finish." -- Haartez News. Jerusalem, Tuesday, November 2, 2004
'Judaism is not a religion at all. It's a license to lie, cheat, steal, rob, exploit, prostitute, enslave, destroy, torture, murder… as long as the victim is not Jewish. It's a mental disease somewhere in between bipolar disorder and psychopathy. It's the membership in a terrorist, satanic cult.' -Andrew Winkler, Editor/Publisher, ZioPedia -

The Vicious Anti-Semitic Defamatory League Exposed:
ADL DataPage
1 - Since being branded an "anti-Semite" has become quite a stigma, placing in jeopardy the individual's economic and social welfare, should not the phrase be exactly and rationally defined? Inevitably someone is going to be mislabeled sometime. And yet the arch-Zionist Anti-Defamation League of Banai B'rith, which usually has charge of wielding the branding iron, has repeatedly refused to answer queries from this committee asking for such a definition. We have sadly concluded by wondering whether that "upright" organization should not more accurately be called the Anti-Definition League!
2 - What is a "Semite"? Is it or is it not a member of a racial group? According to the prevailing Jewish authority, Jewry is a religious group only, with no racial (i.e., genetic) identity. Yet they continue tacitly to endorse a 19th century racialist conception of themselves every time they label an opponent "anti-Semitic." In order to get United Nations approval of a measure condemning religious discrimination recently, the so-called State of Israel gravely assented to having the word "anti-Jewish" substituted for "anti-Semitic." If the two are synonymous to any extent, would it not be more accurate if all Jewish organizations similarly dropped the meaningless and racist designation "anti-Semitic" in favor of "anti-Jewish"?
3 - As we have seen, the majority of today's Jews are not descendants of the Old Testament Hebrews but of a Mongolian people of Central Asia called Khazars. These people were fairly recent converts to Judaism, as Arthur Koestler and earlier writers have shown. Yet, the non-Semitic Mongolian "Jews" are by far the most powerful in Jewish and Zionist affairs, and are the ones who quickest raise the cry of "anti-Semitism" against ideas or activities that irritate them. In the interest of historical accuracy, should not this peculiar but evidently necessary vocabulary of swear-words be enriched by the term "anti-Khazar"? At the very least, should not intelligent people realize that anti-Zionism does not equal "anti-Semitism"?

Authentic Zionist Mein Kampf
"The Jewish people as a whole will become its own Messiah. It will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this New World Order the "children of Israel" will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The Governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, in which is said that when the Messianic time is come, the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands."

Much of the work we do as TrinityP3 consultants is to work with marketers and their teams to develop strategic marketing frameworks that will allow them to engage with and therefore profit from their consumers with smart marketing spend. One of the common issues I have seen over the last 12 months is the need for education in how to engage consumers with relevant and effective conversation.
Fairfax Media is a good example of a company that has invested in digital marketing. They have created an in-house content marketing division called MADE, to help advertisers create content that entertains, influences and informs consumers in the digital world.
Director of Client Strategy, Rob Shwetz, discusses the challenges below for both advertisers and their agencies, and why there is a need for publishers to invest in supporting and developing a content approach to add to their marketing mix.
Why has content marketing come to light all of a sudden?
Fairfax has been creating 'content' as a newspaper since 1841, so I don't believe this is a new trend! What has emerged is a highly competitive environment for consumer attention.
With access to literally thousands of channels across multiple devices, it is no longer about the traditional short term advertising campaigns which have become easy to switch off or block. Brands now need to have long term conversations with their consumers.
Although traditional avenues are still effective, it would be remiss of advertisers to not look at all channels today to see how they deliver their conversation and the messages within that conversation.
Integrated strategy, including aligned social media and content, is so important for agencies to nail. However this needs to incorporate data segmentation and engagement modelling to make use of existing assets and ensure spend is correctly proportioned.
How did you change Fairfax from being a traditional print house?
My perception prior to working with Fairfax, was that it was a staid publishing house going through digital transformation. We are now a digital business with print being only one stream of our business.
The philosophy of MADE is to have strategy at its core and we are now channel agnostic, audience first and solution centric. Fairfax is only part of the solution. Our new way of working is enabling our clients to use content in their own paid and earned channels.
Often the biggest challenge for marketers is educating internal stakeholders on new media spend. With paid and earned media spend, the traditional allocation no longer applies or can be clearly defined up front for Procurement. This creates challenges for marketers to forecast and plan.
How do you work with marketers and agencies?
We have the ability to provide them with audience insights, where they are consuming, which multiple devices are being used and why they are consuming the content, so that we can get real time analytics and audience behaviour, and quality audiences for our advertisers. This really does become the start point for how we work. We need to establish a baseline for how audiences are currently behaving in order to tap into that behaviour.
Engagement can be a core issue between marketers and their consumers so a CRM strategy and the right data analytics to review behaviour on a regular basis, are pivotal to getting results.
What are they getting wrong or what are the mistakes you see from agencies?
"We are seeing the rise of mobile consumption but we are yet to see that transition of traditional revenues move across to mobile platforms," said Simon Smith, who is Managing Director of Content Marketing at Fairfax.
Not so much mistakes, however the question we always get is "where do we start". We approach that problem by understanding their existing content; we review it, look at the audiences and see what they have out there. They bundle them into campaigns instead of having conversations, which needs to be a good 12 month content partnership.
Take a bank example. Messages are the same across every environment and we can offer context around the content and how it is impacting culture, demographic or attitudes on property, for example, to pin point new behaviours that may emerge.
Often we have been brought in to review the current marketing structure in an organisation, as there are still gaps in skill and education when it comes to digital strategy, and there is a huge opportunity for agencies to also be proactive in this space and share knowledge with their clients.
Are marketers giving the right brief to their agency or is the agency not responding appropriately?
Agencies are not focused on the start point, we still see TVC first and content is still a second cousin. This is possibly due to agency processes that are not allowing for speed to market.
Fairfax are used to delivering both quality and speed as we have been storytellers for over 100 years. Conversations that matter are at the heart of our business.
The brief, this is where agencies need to review how they approach the brief and the internal process to get it right. It is no longer top to bottom i.e. TV to content; true integration needs to be seamless throughout the creative process and not an after thought or 'nice to have' add on to the creative idea.
How do you find the quality of content being provided?
Quality is such a subjective measurement, but my thinking is around the quality of the 'thinking' that drives content as an output.
Fast food chains create content on a daily basis, supporting what starts to trend and dropping the rest. In this example, it is a tight process driven by guidelines that inform the strategic quality of the content. However this is a very different brief from a long-form travel editorial which seeks to create desire or inspiration to visit a destination, and which is formed through a different creative process.
So again we find ourselves highlighting the importance of a good strategy and brief from marketers, and an effective process framework the agency has to deliver from. Both share the importance of collaboration to review and get this right before we waste valuable spend. I guess the question here is, do you have the right team to facilitate the two?
Thanks very much for your time and for sharing these insights, Rob.


36 days on crutches, viewing the world from my front porch. 6 days now till the 'skewer' in my toe is removed. This existence has been surreal, but a time for friendship, reflection and a lot of reading and writing. I thought the time would drag, but this last part has gone quickly. I don't expect miracles, but I will be glad to be able to have a shower without saran wrap and a big plastic bag over my foot. I will be glad to be able to manoeuvre the stairs to the basement and do my own laundry. It will take time to walk distances and to start dancing again, but I will at least be able to put weight on the front of my right foot soon. And give the heel a rest from taking all the weight on that foot. And that day when the 'skewer' is removed will be a huge milestone even if I can't walk and dance and take the TTC for a while.
I don't suppose I'll really understand fully the value of this time until it is over. But I do know I am far more aware of the generosity of family and friends and that I have a caring community that surrounds me. This is so even though many of them live at a distance. I am grateful. And also for the time to reflect and do some serious writing and revision. And to understand my life as a writer better. If I hadn't had that work to do, I suspect the time might have dragged more.
