Durruti: You look at a couple of sites and feel that you are then able to make a definiative statement on her ideology?
She is also on the Board of CNI and CNIF. I will not bore you with her ...yet...Spion asked why I say CNI is a Neo-Nazi organisation, etc. Here is a link to co-founder (former) Congressman Paul "Pete" McCloskey's mentioned speech at the 13th IHR Conference. McCloskey was later confronted with this to no end, and tried to wiggle by saying he had no doubt that the Holocaust took place, "only the numbers were debatable." At the Conference, where he appeared with Zundl, Faurisson, Irving, and Leuchter among others (as I MIGHT have mentioned earlier) he would only refer to the Holocaust as "the so called Holocaust." When CNI, et al got tired of bailing water they dumped him rather than go down with the ship. They had plenty of other nonsense to answer for though, which I will get to in a sec. First the link...

For anyone wishing to research at length, and I will not dog each one of the current Board Memebers due to my actually having a life offline and it taking far too long to do so, their names are:
Chairman: Former Ambassador Robert Keely
Vice Chairman: Former Senator James "Jim" Abourzek
Prersident (and co-founder): Former Ambassador Eugene H. Bird
Secretary: Zainab Elberry
Treasurer: Stephen Jones Esq.
Board Memembers At Large: Mohammed (sic) Hakki
Daniel McGowan
Peter Viering Esq.
ALISON WEIR
Chairman Emeritus (and co-founder): Former Congressman Paul Findley
IF people choose to research each one of these people they will have a grab-bag full of racism and offencive behavior and actions.
Perhaps almost as interesting as these CURRENT nutters is one of the former fools.
I mentioned old Pete...
Abdurahman Alamoudi was famous in the US, in a fringe sense I suppose, for publicly stating his allegiances to Hezbollah and HAMAS, claiming that the 1993 WTC Bombers were in prison because they are "victims of anti-Muslim bias," but most of all because he himself is now in prison on terror related offences (financial in nature actually but none the less). That is why he was replaced within the 2 organisations.
Then there is a lovable old coot from Weir's own organisation ("If Americans Only Knew"), "Chairman Emeritus," co-founder, and former Ambassador Paul Findley who was the subject of a documentary by Mark Farrel of "Honest Media Today." Among the many "nice" things he said was a piece of Arab propaganda claiming former PM Sharon had said , to Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, that "Israel owns America." Naturally this inflames a great many Americans and so this is especially caustic given the context. That it is pure fabrication is another important factor.
For those that care, those very precious few, it first appeared in the syndicated Chicago Tribune column of Anne Geyer who copped it from a piece released by "Islamic Association for Palestine." Geyer was unmasked though and offered 3 explanations for the piece, but her editor still had to publish an apology. The fact that Findley spread this basic falsehood is just indicative of the unreliability of the organisations he co-founded. That his falsehoods are of the "Protocols" variety makes this all the more vile and thus, akin to Neo-Nazism.
If you like anti-Jewish carticatures you will love the cartoonist most often utilised by the 2 groups, always in their NY Times full page ads, Khalil Bendib. The hook noses always make me curious because they are the same feature used by anti-Arab cartoonists and yet it never seems to occurr to these fellow Semitic "artists."
Bird, who was the object of Spion's curioisity has made some interesting comments. Aside from maintaining that his career was "ruined by Jews," and that "Jews control the media (wow! never heard THAT one!), he was interviewed on CBC (Canadian major network) for their nightly news programme after Abu Ghraib and he had the audacity to closely insinsuate that it was Israel who had committed those atrocities. CBC disavowed him 3 days later (comments made on May 4th, 2004 and disavowed on May 7th, 2004).
Various inflammatory comments made by CNI, et al: "Israel purposely attacked the USS Liberty in 1967." "Zionism is racism (of course parroting that crap)," "Israel has no right to exist," "The Partiton Ratification has no legal foundation and should not be recognised," "The Holocaust was a bonanza to the Zionists," " Israel owns the entire US Congress, not just a few here and there," and far too many more to even hope to finish listing.
Do not worry Durruti, I did not forget about Weir. However, now that I recall, in a thread within the last 8 months or so responded to a post about her organisation, made by GMarthews. In my post(s) I thoroughly outlined the issues urrounding this woman and HER organisation. It is worth noting however that just about every board member past and present (for these 2 orgs.) has also sat on HER board. That alone should make rational people think but as I said, I went far more into detail within the mentioned thread.
