Barack Obama's first appointment to his administration, of Rahm Emanuel, is someone that has been described as having a political history of 'family violence.'
"What truly makes Emanuel dangerous is that his Israeli-born father Benjamin was an integral member of the Zionist terror group known as Irgun during the 1940s. Along with another notorious terror outfit-the Stern Gang-Irgun bombed Jerusalem's King David Hotel in 1946 where 96 people were killed; while also instigating the 1948 Deir Yassin Massacre.
Rahm Emanuel is the son of a terrorist who directly plotted the assassination of Count Bernadotte, a Swedish diplomat and United Nations envoy who tried to broker peace in Palestine. But Irgun didn't seek treaties. It instead sought racial cleansing and genocide. According to Elisabeth Bumiller in The New York Times, Benjamin Emanuel passed secret codes to Shin Bet bomber and future Prime Minister Menachem Begin. These very same Jewish terrorists eventually became the recognized Israeli government in 1948, as well as predecessors to Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing Likud Party." (1)
What is now particularly dangerous is that Benjamin Netanyahu is again in-line to become the next Prime Minister of Israel, which will expand what Rahm will need to do in his capacity at the White House for his actual home-land.
"Polls in fall 2008 showed that, in the wake of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's resignation and Defense Minister Tzipi Livni's failure to form a government, Mr. Netanyahu and his party were likely to win the Israeli elections set for early next year, and that Mr. Netanyahu would be the next prime minister.
Ethan Bronner of The Times wrote in September 2008 that because of Mr. Netanyahu's hawkish stance, those in Israel who favor compromise and negotiation with the Palestinians are deeply worried at the prospect of Mr. Netanyahu's returning to power.
Born Oct. 21, 1949 in Tel Aviv, Mr. Netanyahu was partly educated in the United States and once tried an Americanized name, Ben Nitay. But he is Israeli to the core - a native "sabra" reared on militant Zionism, honed in an elite commando unit and wary of ever giving an inch to his enemies, whether politicians or Arabs.
His heroes are his father, the historian Benzion Netanyahu, an ardent follower of a right-wing school of Zionism that held as early as 1925 that the Jewish claim to the entire Land of Israel was unquestionable and nonnegotiable, and his brother, Yonatan Netanyahu, whose death leading the commando raid to free Jewish hostages at Entebbe in 1976 turned him into an Israeli legend."

To understand who Rahm Emanuel is requires a lot more of those seeking that knowledge than simply looking at all the normal parts of a resume.
To get a final idea of what we're dealing with, consider this quote from U.S. war journalist Pat Dollard:
"Let me tell you right now, no exaggeration. Rahm Emanuel is the devil. He is . . . a Goebbels, a Mengele, a perfect Cromwell who would, without the faintest evidence of hesitation washing across his face for even a millisecond, order and even personally execute each and every human being he or Obama perceived to be an enemy of the regime. And if you ever personally offended him, and he had the opportunity to kill you, he would probably do it by starting with your children as you were made to watch. He is a bad guy."
And this...
"Some researchers have gone so far as to claim that Emanuel was the notorious 'Mega' spy deep inside the Clinton administration who passed top-secret documents about Iran on to the Israeli government, causing a great deal of chaos among the various intelligence agencies. Be very wary of this man. Like the "Prince of Darkness" Richard Perle and Michael Chertoff before him (both of whom hold dual U.S.-Israeli citizenships), it may well be proven that his loyalties rest more with a fabricated little state in the Middle East than they do with us." (1)
Many will say that this 'take' on Obama's new Chief of Staff is extreme, or 'nothing particularly unusual' given that "all president's surround themselves with people of their own choosing and some of those choices have always been a bit suspicious." Except that this is the first time a president has been selected to take the office that now comes with total control over all other branches of the government. And this 'transition' will be taking place during a "time of war" when the primary enemy, in this war, has become the law-abiding people of the United States. This is not a good time to have a 'Svengali' in the position of White House Chief of Staff.
In addition to the super-powers that Bush obtained for the office and that shall be passed directly to Obama when he is crowned on January twentieth; there is also the fact that all the major laws directly affecting everything to do with life & death tend to come to us via Executive Orders, rather than by the more arduous constitutional method that would require the involvement of the congress. Ergo with a Rahmbo in-place this could well mean anything and everything regarding the preferences of Emanuel might not only become possible-but would very likely happen, without fanfare, whether the actions taken were public or privately accomplished.
Obama's "presidency" has not gotten off to a 'great start' as he has already begun to break a great many of his campaign promises, while at the same time over-achieving in his appointment of Rahm Emanuel as White House Chief of Staff; a decision that causes many to wonder which nation will get first preference from the White House: Will it be the country that Barack supposedly represents, or the one he swore allegiance to before the AIPAC convention in Washington D C? (3) & (4)
For the true dangers inherent in this policy, we have only to look at what went on in the inner-circle of Hitler's government before his meteoric rise to power-unlimited. When there is nothing in the ruling House of a nation but lies built upon broken-promises; then whatever dictates emanate from such a House cannot bode well for the people over whom that House has been given total control. With Rahm Emanuel at the elbow of the "helm" the American people and the world may well be in for some very bloody and very unpleasant surprises of the "Un-American kind."
