“We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population.”

To understand the Zionist terror network behind 9-11, it is essential to know about Israel's long history of "false-flag" terror attacks - against Americans. I have edited the chapter, "America the Target: 9-11 and Israel's History of False Flag Terrorism." The following is an extract from the chapter:
The Zionists also began using terrorism as a tactic against the West in the 1940s, carrying out false-flag terror attacks against the United States and Britain as far back as the bombing of Jerusalem's King David Hotel on July 22, 1946. The bombing of the luxury hotel was ordered by Menachem Begin, the head of the Irgun, a Zionist terrorist organization during the 1930s and 1940s. Begin, a terrorist and avowed racist, later became prime minister of Israel, a position he held during the 1982 invasion of Lebanon, which was led by Ariel Sharon, then minister of defense. Begin had a Jewish supremacist view of the world, which he used to justify his crimes of terrorism and genocide.
"Our race is the Master Race," then Prime Minister Begin told the Knesset (Israeli parliament) in June 1982 as Israeli forces invaded Lebanon. "We Jews 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, the Polish-born head of the terrorist gang Irgun, and the King David Hotel he ordered bombed in 1946. "Everything was coordinated with the Haganah," Prime Minister Begin later told the Israel Broadcasting Authority. The Haganah was headed by David Ben Gurion.
MAPPING THE NETWORK OF TERROR
I have added three improved schematic diagrams to a special section at the end of another key chapter entitled "The Architecture of Terror: Mapping the Network Behind 9-11." These diagrams were sent to me by a reader and supporter in Massachusetts and are quite similar to the large diagram that I made as I wrote this chapter of my on-line book, Solving 9-11: The Deception that Changed the World.
These simple diagrams are very helpful for the reader to understand the network of relationships between the key individuals and entities in the Zionist network behind the false-flag terror attacks of 9-11. The diagram of the people involved in security at the World Trade Center has Maurice "Hank" Greenberg, the head of the massive insurance fraud scheme known as A.I.G., and his business partner Henry Kissinger at the top of the network. Kissinger is still a key player in the crimocracy as seen by the conspicuous fact that he was sent by the new Obama administration to meet with the leadership of Russia, although the nominal Secretary of State was Hillary Clinton. Understanding "Hank" Greenberg's connection to WTC security helps to understand the huge financial fraud he managed as head of A.I.G. - and why it was bailed out. American taxpayers were forced to absorb the immense costs of Greenberg's crimes, which drained hundreds of billions of dollars from the U.S. Treasury.

The vehicle has, reportedly, contained about 800 kg explosives. Soon after the martyr operation, the area was surrounded and the helicopter was called in to evacuate the dead and the wounded from the explosion site, said the residents. It is worth remembering that about thirty puppet army and U.S invading terrorists were killed in a martyrdom operation carried out within the U.S invaders base near the center of Dant Patan district in Paktia province, on Thursday evening. We ask Allah to accept our brother among martyrs in Eelleyeen (high rank in the paradise). All praise and gratitude are due to Allah. Reported by Zabihullah Mujahid

Mujahideen Killed 36 Terrorists Of The U.S, Nato And Puppet Forces Besides Destroying 7 Tanks In Marjah Mujahideen, during face-to-face battles, killed thirty-six soldiers of the U.S, Nato and puppet forces besides destroying their seven tanks through much of Saturday in Marjah area of Nad Ali district, Helmand province. The report from Helmand province says shortly after having been dropped by the helicopters at Lowi Char Rahi, Block Now and some other points, the combined U.S and puppet terrorists were drawn into face-to-face fighting as they came under Mujahideen immediate attacks. After meeting with the Mujahideen's strong resistance and suffering fatal casualties and sever losses, the enemy forces retreated from battle ground. Some twenty-five foreign and local terrorists were killed and dozens wounded during the fighting whose some of the corpses were lying across the battle ground till the early evening hours of Saturday.
Elsewhere in Helmand province, about seven tanks of U.S invaders forces were destroyed apart from their loss of life and injuries during the fighting with the Mujahideen and their bombings which occurred in Wakil Wazir and Sefen areas Marjah. Also Saturday, eleven US and Afghan terrorists were killed and a dozen wounded during the Mujahideen's bombings and face-to-face engagement that has been going on throughout Saturday in Abdullah Qulf area of Marjah. However, four Mujahideen embraced martyrdom and seven injured during the engagements and airstrikes that were continuing through much of the day. Reported by Qari Muhammad Yousuf
5 U.S Invading Terrorists Killed As Their 8 Tank Stuck By Landmine Blast In Helmand At least five U.S invading terrorists were killed in Helmand province when one of their tanks was blown apart by a blast while the U.S invading terrorists were tying to flee from Abdullah Qulf area of Marjah, in the late evening hours of Saturday. Indeed, it was the eighth tank of the U.S invading terrorists that had been destroyed throughout Saturday. Reported by Qari Muhammad Yousuf
7 Tanks Of The U.S And British Invading Terrorists Eliminated Within 3 Hours In Marjah There are recent reports from Helmand province that seven tanks of the joint U.S-British invading terrorists, within three hours, were destroyed by the landmines placed by the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate in the Province's Marjah district on Thursday. According to the details, Three of their tanks were targeted by the blasts when the U.S-British invaders combined patrol convoy was traveling on the road near Malik Wazir Charahi (roundabout), while four other tanks of the British and American invaders forces were hit by roadside bomb attacks separately in Bolan and Bad Allah Kalf areas of this district on Thursday.
The report adds all the seven tanks were destroyed, killing and wounding all the Americans and Britons invading terrorists who were inside the struck tanks. A statement from the U.S. and Nato invaders military claiming that the British and U.S invading terrorists placed Marjah district under siege blocking all the exit and entrance ways in this district where the Mujahideen are surrounded is baseless and untrue, these rumors are only spread by the enemy to bolster the lost moral of the their invading terrorists. On the contrary, the Mujahideen are stationed in different strategic points in this district and they are ready to defend against every offensive of the U.S and Nato invaders forces. However, the Mujahideen suffered only loss of one Mujahid during the U.S invaders massive aristrikes which left one Mujahid martyred. Reported by Qari Muhammad Yousuf

Details of British Resident's Brutal Torture by CIA Officers Released
British resident Binyam Mohamed was tortured by the CIA while in Pakistani custody in April and May 2002. (Photo: art makes me smile; Edited: Jared Rodriguez / t r u t h o u t)
Three senior UK judges on Wednesday ordered the British government to publicly disclose previously highly classified information that reveals how Binyam Mohamed, a British resident, was brutally tortured by the CIA while in Pakistani custody in April and May 2002.
In one short session, the Court of Appeal brought an end to a transatlantic game of cat and mouse that for the last year and a half has prevented two high court judges from making public a seven-paragraph summary of an intelligence briefing, supplied by US intelligence services to their British counterparts, which provided information about Mohamed's treatment after his capture in Pakistan in April 2002.
Disclosure of the summary, which was written by the high court Judges Lord Justice Thomas and Mr. Justice Lloyd Jones, had been opposed by the British Foreign Secretary, David Miliband, since August 2008, when the judges delivered a stern rebuke to the British government, ruling that, "by seeking to interview BM [Binyam Mohamed] in the circumstances found and supplying information and questions for his interviews, the relationship between the United Kingdom Government and the United States authorities went far beyond that of a bystander or witness to the alleged wrongdoing." However, Miliband argued that releasing any information publicly would damage the valuable intelligence-sharing relationship between the UK and the US, and the judges, with some reluctance, accepted his claims.
However, the judges ordered 42 documents in the possession of the British government to be released to Mohamed's lawyers, on the basis that they were vital to his defense in a planned trial by military commission, in which he might face the death penalty. In the months that followed, further wrangling over the disclosure of these documents was transferred to the US courts, where the Justice Department (DOJ) tried in vain to keep them away from Mohamed's legal representatives.
By November 2008, however, these last-ditch attempts had failed, and, as a result, the central allegation against Mohamed - that he was involved in a "dirty bomb" plot (noticeably, one that never existed) - was dropped by the DOJ, his planned trial by military commission was also dropped, and on February 23, 2009, he was flown back to the UK as a free man.
The manner in which Mohamed's case was fast-tracked to the top of the pile of cases being reviewed by President Obama's interagency Guantánamo Review Task Force strongly suggests that both the US and UK governments hoped that releasing Mohamed would seal the lid on further embarrassing disclosures about his torture - not only in Pakistan, but also in Morocco, where he was sent by the CIA for 18 months, and in the CIA's own "dark prison" near Kabul.
However, instead of backing down, the high court judges refused to let go of the case, arguing that, although it was appropriate for the contents of the 42 documents to remain secret, it was in the interests of "open justice" for their own summary of those documents to be made available to the public.

Miliband disagreed, maintaining, as he had in August 2008, that releasing the summary would threaten the intelligence-sharing relationship between the US and the UK, with dire consequences for national security, even though the judges maintained that their summary contained "nothing secret or of an intelligence nature," as it merely comprised "admissions by officials of the United States Government as to BM's [Mohamed's] treatment by them."
Throughout 2009, the case rumbled on, as the judges maintained pressure on the government, and in November, the most revealing information to date was disclosed, when two previously redacted paragraphs in an earlier ruling were reinstated. These, as I noted at the time, were extremely significant, because they revealed that the judges had referred to the memos released by the Obama administration last April, written by lawyers in the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel in 2002 and 2005, which purported to redefine torture and approved the use of banned techniques by the CIA.
The judges had also noted that "the techniques described were those employed against [Abu] Zubaydah," the supposed "high-value detainee," captured in Pakistan on March 28, 2002, who was, officially, the first prisoner to be subjected to ten "enhanced interrogation techniques," which included physical violence, stress positions, sleep deprivation and waterboarding.
The Court of Appeal Judges Order the Release of the Torture Summary
On Wednesday, after 18 months of obstruction on the part of the government, the judges in the Court of Appeal - Sir Igor Judge, the Lord Chief Justice; Lord Neuberger, the Master of the Rolls; and Sir Anthony May, President of the Queen's Bench - finally dismissed Miliband's claims, and, as the Guardian described it, "shattered the convention that the courts should not question claims by the executive relating to national security."
In the ruling, Sir Igor Judge said that the case raised issues of "fundamental importance," of "democratic accountability and ultimately the rule of law itself." He added that the reasons for publishing the summary were "compelling," because they concerned the involvement of British agents in the "abhorrent practice of torture," and because the information contained in the summary helped to "vindicate Mr. Mohamed's assertion that UK authorities had been involved in and facilitated the ill-treatment and torture to which he was subjected while under the control of USA. authorities."
Finally accepting defeat, Miliband made the summary available on the web site of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The seven paragraphs are reproduced below:
It was reported that a new series of interviews was conducted by the United States authorities prior to 17 May [2002] as part of a new strategy designed by an expert interviewer.
v) It was reported that at some stage during that further interview process by the United States authorities, BM [Binyam Mohamed] had been intentionally subjected to continuous sleep deprivation. The effects of the sleep deprivation were carefully observed.
vi) It was reported that combined with the sleep deprivation, threats and inducements were made to him. His fears of being removed from United States custody and "disappearing" were played upon.
vii) It was reported that the stress brought about by these deliberate tactics was increased by him being shackled in his interviews.
viii) It was clear not only from the reports of the content of the interviews but also from the report that he was being kept under self-harm observation, that the interviews were having a marked effect upon him and causing him significant mental stress and suffering.
ix) We regret to have to conclude that the reports provided to the SyS [the British intelligence services] made clear to anyone reading them that BM was being subjected to the treatment that we have described and the effect upon him of that intentional treatment.
x) The treatment reported, if it had been administered on behalf of the United Kingdom, would clearly have been in breach of the undertakings given by the United Kingdom in 1972 [in the 1972 torture convention]. Although it is not necessary for us to categorise the treatment reported, it could readily be contended to be at the very least cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment by the United States authorities.
As can be seen, the summary describes a range of techniques, which, in the judges' opinion "could readily be contended to be at the very least cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment by the United States authorities," including "continuous sleep deprivation," combined with "threats and inducements," including the threat of "disappearing." As the judges also explained, "the stress brought about by these deliberate tactics" was "causing him significant mental stress and suffering," to the extent that he was being "kept under self-harm observation."
The Evidence Demonstrates That Torture Began Before It Was Sanctioned by the DOJ in August 2002
That such tactics were being used by US agents in April 2002, four months before the ten previously banned techniques - including sleep deprivation and waterboarding - were approved by lawyers in the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), should come as no surprise. As I pointed out in an article last April, "CIA Torture Began In Afghanistan 8 Months Before DoJ Approval," lawyers for Rafiq Alhami, a Tunisian prisoner in Guantánamo, demonstrated in court submissions that the CIA was torturing prisoners in Afghanistan from December 2001.
In a lawsuit, Alhami stated that he was held in three CIA "dark sites," where "his presence and his existence were unknown to everyone except his United States detainers," and where, at various times, he was "stripped naked, threatened with dogs, shackled in painful stress positions for hours, punched, kicked and exposed to extremes of heat and cold." He also stated that his interrogators "sprayed pepper spray on his hemorrhoids, causing extreme pain."
Nevertheless, Alhami's statements, which reflect similar statements made by other prisoners held in secret CIA prisons at this time, were largely ignored last April, and it is to be hoped, therefore, that the official confirmation of Binyam Mohamed's torture in April and May 2002 will put pressure on Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate how it came to pass that prisoners were tortured - or, at least, subjected to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment - so many months before the OLC provided what senior Bush officials referred to as their "golden shield," providing a twisted rationale for the torture and abuse that followed in the memos issued on August 1, 2002.
According to Newsweek, the conclusions of a long-awaited internal report into the behavior of the OLC lawyers who drafted the "torture memos" - conducted by the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) - have been fatally watered down in the report's final version, so that the primary authors, John Yoo and Jay S. Bybee, are no longer regarded as having "violated their professional obligations as lawyers" when they drafted the memos, and have only been mildly reprimanded for showing "poor judgment."
Even if this is the case, however, it fails to explain who was responsible for authorizing the infliction of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment before August 1, 2002, and this is a question that needs to be answered.
How Binyam Mohamed's Torture Was Revealed in a US Court
Further disturbing evidence of the use of torture emerged through close scrutiny of a statement issued by Miliband in the wake of the ruling by the Court of Appeal. Miliband noted, "At the heart of this case was the principle that if a country shares intelligence with another, that country must agree before its intelligence is released," and that "This 'control principle' is essential to the intelligence relationship between Britain and the US." With some satisfaction, he added that the government had "fought the case to preserve this principle," and that "today's judgment upholds it," explaining that the court only ordered the release of the summary "because in its view their substance had been put into the public domain by a decision of a US court in another case," and that "Without that disclosure, it is clear that the court of appeal would have overturned the divisional court's decision to publish the material."
This is an accurate assessment, although it glosses over the importance of the material that "had been put into the public domain by a decision of a US court in another case." The case in question was the successful habeas corpus petition, in November 2009, of an Algerian prisoner in Guantánamo, Farhi Saeed bin Mohammed. In her ruling, made available in December, Judge Gladys Kessler expressed serious doubts about the reliability of allegations made by other prisoners, as she had in previous cases, and as the judges in general have throughout the habeas process. These doubts have contributing significantly to the 32 out of 41 rulings that have resulted in the judges concluding that the government failed, by a preponderance of evidence, to establish that the prisoners in questions were involved with either al-Qaeda or the Taliban.
In the case of Farhi Saeed bin Mohammed, one of the dubious witnesses identified by Judge Kessler was Binyam Mohamed. As she described it, Mohamed's statements, placing bin Mohammed at a training camp in Afghanistan,
cannot be relied upon, because he suffered intense and sustained physical and psychological abuse while in American custody from 2002 to 2004. Petitioner [bin Mohammed] argues that while Binyam Mohamed was detained in locations in Pakistan, Morocco, and Afghanistan, he was tortured and forced to admit to a host of allegations. When he arrived at Guantánamo Bay, Binyam Mohamed implicated Petitioner in training activities ... However, after being released from Guantánamo Bay, he signed a sworn declaration claiming that he never met Petitioner until they were both detained at Guantánamo Bay, thereby disavowing the statements he made at Guantánamo Bay about training with Petitioner.
Judge Kessler also made some important points about torture, refuting the government's claims that he had made statements voluntarily at Guantánamo, and concluding that the effects of the torture he endured from 2002 to 2004 had not dissipated by the time of the later statements. This is undoubtedly an important precedent for future cases, but with specific reference to Binyam's court case in the UK, the significance of Judge Kessler's ruling relates to the government's refusal - or inability - to challenge the assertions made about Binyam Mohamed's torture.
In response to bin Mohammed's claims about Binyam Mohamed's statements, Judge Kessler noted, "The Government does not challenge Petitioner's evidence of Binyam Mohamed's abuse," and at another point, after running through the whole horrendous story of Mohamed's abuse in Pakistan, Morocco and the dark prison, as recounted in statements to his lawyer, Clive Stafford Smith, she noted, "The Government does not challenge or deny the accuracy of Binyam Mohamed's story of brutal treatment."
Further Evidence of a British Cover-Up
It is somewhat ironic that information that the British government tried so hard to suppress was actually disclosed in greater detail in a judicial ruling in a US court, which made its protestations worthless, but this is not the last piece of shocking evidence to emerge from the Court of Appeal ruling.
Just hours after the ruling was announced, the Guardian reported that one of the judges, Lord Neuberger, the Master of the Rolls, had included in the ruling a statement regarding the behavior of the British security services that was so critical that Jonathan Sumption QC, representing the government, had written to the court, warning that the paragraph in question was "likely to receive more public attention than any other parts of the judgments."
As referred to in Sumption's letter, which came to light following intervention by lawyers and media organizations including the Guardian, Lord Neuberger's statements included assertions that MI5 did not respect human rights, had not renounced participation in "coercive interrogation" techniques, deliberately misled MPs and peers on the intelligence and security committee, which is supposed to be able to scrutinize its activities, and had a "culture of suppression" in its dealings with Miliband and the court.
With reference to the MI5 officer known as Witness B, who interrogated Binyam Mohamed in Pakistan in May 2002 (and is now the subject of a police investigation), Neuberger apparently indicated that he did not believe that he was acting alone and that he believed that his conduct was "characteristic of the service as a whole," and also noted that MI5's culture of suppression "penetrates the service to such a degree" that, as the Guardian explained, "it undermines any government assurance based upon information that comes from MI5 itself."
At the government's request, Lord Neuberger dropped his comments from the final ruling, without advising any of the other parties involved in the case. However, after Sumption's letter was disclosed, Lord Neuberger conceded that it was "over-hasty" to withdraw it without allowing other voices to be heard, and provided objectors with a deadline of 4:00 PM on Friday to make representations, to enable him to decide whether to reinstate his judgment.
Throughout this whole tawdry saga, Binyam Mohamed was not present, but it must come as some relief to him, after his long ordeal, to realize that, one year after his release, his torture by US agents in April 2002 will cause questions to be raised regarding the authorization of prolonged sleep deprivation and threats to make him "disappear," and that the British security services face questions about their entire way of operating, in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, when the UK zealously embraced its role as America's closest foreign ally.

Allons-nous vers un nouvel 11 septembre ? (3ème partie)
ou comment on nous prépare à un méga-attentat en Europe...
ou comment on nous prépare à un méga-attentat en Europe...
Dans nos deux précédents articles des 1er et 6 Février 2010, nous avons évoqué la possibilité d’un grave attentat sur le territoire européen, attentat qui tel le 11 septembre 2001, justifierait une nouvelle croisade antimusulmane, notamment une agression contre l’Iran. Ce risque a été également évoqué par les grands journaux du Proche-Orient. De nombreux sites web ont également répercuté cette éventualité mettant en garde l’opinion publique contre des attentats en des lieux hautement symboliques telles la cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris ou la Basilique Saint Pierre de Rome.
Toute la machine de guerre de propagande de l’USraël est mobilisée de façon permanente et avance en ordre de bataille. Ainsi, lors de l’audition annuelle par la Commission parlementaire du Renseignement, les principaux dirigeants des services de renseignement nord-américains ont provoqué une certaine émotion en mentionnant la possibilité d’une cyber-guerre déclarée par la Chine menaçant ainsi tout le réseau informatique mondial :http://www.senate.gov/fplayers/I2009/urlPlayer.cfm?fn=intel020210&st=1073&dur=10255
Quand on connait l’imbrication actuelle des économies chinoises et américaines, une telle « agression » est pour le moins difficile à imaginer dans l’immédiat. Mais alors, pourquoi parler de la Chine si ce n’est pour faire diversion ? D’ailleurs, les participants à l’audition annuelle reviennent très vite à leur thème favori affirmant qu’Al-Qaida pourrait frapper les USA d’ici trois à six mois.
Ici se trouve peut-être le cœur de la diversion. En effet, qui dit Al-Qaida dit immanquablement islamisme, et en citant le territoire nord-américain, on détourne provisoirement l’attention de l’Europe. Et si le prochain attentat programmé devait se produire en Europe Occidentale (Paris ou Rome) et non aux États-Unis ou au Canada ?
Des indices concordants et inquiétants semblent indiquer que nous sommes à la veille d’événements dramatiques.
Partout, depuis les grands instituts d’analyse spécialisés jusqu’au quotidien français Le Parisien, il est martelé quotidiennement à l’opinion que les risques d’attentat en Europe augmentent. Ainsi, le Centre d’Analyse Conjoint sur le Terrorisme JTAC, à Londres, a rehaussé le niveau d’alerte au Royaume-Uni. Le Parisien (éd. du 25.01.2010) fait état également d’une menace bien réelle en France. La préparation psychologique bat son plein.
Le soutien inconditionnel et provocateur de M. Sarkozy et de M. Berlusconi à l’entité sioniste n’est pas seulement un choix politique délibéré. On a souvent l’impression que ces deux dirigeants cherchent à provoquer et à activer intentionnellement les réseaux terroristes (au service de qui ?). On ferait alors croire à l’opinion qu’un tel attentat est imputable aux « musulmans extrémistes » comme conséquence du soutien des gouvernements de l’Europe Occidentale à Israël et à la politique américaine (réintégration de l’OTAN et Afghanistan).
Une semblable manipulation serait aux yeux du grand public en conformité avec la théorie dite du « choc des civilisations » de M. Huntington. La croisade antimusulmane, notamment contre le front de la Résistance, Iran, Syrie, Hezbollah, Hamas, pourrait commencer. Vue l’ampleur d’un tel conflit, personne ne peut dire jusqu’où il ira.
Une opération de cette envergure aux conséquences incalculables suppose pour le moins deux conditions :

Une opération de cette envergure aux conséquences incalculables suppose pour le moins deux conditions :
- une intoxication quotidienne de l’opinion combinant à la fois terrorisme, Islam et soutien à Israël est indispensable afin de créer partout des réflexes de peur et d’hostilité vis-à-vis de l’Islam. De la Burqa à la guerre d’Afghanistan en passant par les menaces contre la République Islamique d’Iran, il existe un lien et un dénominateur communs : faire admettre comme inéluctable un attentat dit islamiste en Europe ;
- le deuxième élément consisterait à choisir en Occident des cibles hautement symboliques et religieuses telles Notre dame de Paris ou la Basilique Saint-Pierre de Rome au Vatican, l’idée étant de rallier une partie importante du monde chrétien autour de l’USraël et sous la coupe sioniste.
Ce scénario catastrophe n’est nullement improbable. N’oublions pas que celui qui aurait évoqué la possibilité d’un 11 septembre 2001 quelques mois auparavant aurait été immanquablement traité de « conspirationniste » ou de fou.
Néanmoins le pire n’est pas toujours certain. Même si nous connaissons le mépris que le lobby sioniste et ses exécutants portent à l’opinion publique, ils doivent toutefois en tenir compte. Et c’est en faisant connaître autour de soi ce risque d’attentat en Europe qu’on peut réussir à l’empêcher. Nous savons que cette menace est déjà prise très au sérieux dans plusieurs grandes capitales et ce au plus haut niveau. Une censure règne pourtant dans les prétendus grands médias sur ce sujet.
A nous de briser cette censure afin d’empêcher ce nouveau crime du sionisme dont toute l’histoire démontre son goût et son habileté pour la manipulation, l’intoxication et surtout à opposer les communautés et les nations pour son plus grand profit...

Allons-nous vers un nouvel 11 septembre ?
Quelle que soit l’opinion que l’on se fait sur les attentats du 11 septembre 2001 (version officielle ou attentat organisé par la CIA ou le Mossad israélien), des faits incontestables découlent de ce fameux 11 septembre.
La seule grande puissance dominante après la désintégration de l’Union Soviétique (USA) s’est donnée à elle-même un chèque en blanc, un quitus moral et politique lui permettant d’intervenir partout, quand elle le souhaite et par tous les moyens, au nom de la lutte contre le terrorisme.
Ce concept « le terrorisme » dit international est assez flou pour pouvoir être appliqué à n’importe qui. Il a été défini au départ par l’axe américano-sioniste pour désigner à l’époque « l’islamisme » par opposition à l’Islam « modéré », c’est-à-dire, l’Islam des pays déjà sous la coupe américano-sioniste (pays du Golfe Persique, Égypte, Maghreb, Pakistan, etc..). Ces pays ont eu pour fonction de servir de bases et d’alliés aux États-Unis et de jouer également le rôle des «bons musulmans de service ». Cet appel à la croisade contre le terrorisme a été adressé également aux anciens ennemis des USA (Russie et Chine) afin de les embrigader sous la bannière américano-sioniste.
Le premier objectif nommément désigné a été l’Afghanistan refuge des Talibans et de l’insaisissable Ben Laden. L’invasion et l’occupation de ce pays ont donc été décidées et menées à terme avec la complicité du gouvernement pakistanais, entraînant ce pays à son tour dans une guerre tantôt ouverte tantôt larvée.
A cet ennemi fantomatique et insaisissable qu’est Al Qaida, les États-Unis et Israël en ont ajouté un autre l’Irak, un État souverain, un État sous embargo, totalement affaibli depuis la guerre du Golfe . L’agression contre l’Irak a voulu être présentée comme une croisade du bien contre le mal afin d’obtenir la caution des Nations Unies (cette « respectabilité » que les puissants appellent le « droit international »). Cette fois-ci le montage mis en place par tout l’appareil propagandiste américano-sioniste s’est heurté à l’incrédulité d’une partie importante de l’opinion (les fameuses armes de destructions massives de Saddam Hussein n’arrivaient pas à convaincre) et surtout au refus de la Russie, de la Chine et de la France : membres du Conseil de Sécurité avec droit de veto.
La Russie et la Chine ne pouvant pas ou ne souhaitant pas apparaître au premier plan, ce fut à la France de Jacques Chirac et de De Villepin, dans la meilleure tradition gaulliste, que revint la mission d’« accrocher » le veto. Les États-Unis et leurs alliés ont été ainsi obligés d’agresser l’Irak sans la caution de l’ONU (ce « machin » comme disait le Général De Gaulle).

Les États-Unis et leurs alliés ont été ainsi obligés d’agresser l’Irak sans la caution de l’ONU (ce « machin » comme disait le Général De Gaulle).
On peut considérer que depuis ce jour, les Nations Unies sont mortes même si leur siège à New-York continue à faire la fortune des grands restaurateurs locaux et autres lieux de divertissement destinés aux diplomates.
Cette agression/occupation de l’Irak a répondu à plusieurs objectifs dont le premier et sans doute le plus important est d’avoir donné satisfaction à Israël et à son lobby nord-américain. Il s’agissait de briser un État arabo-musulman disposant à la fois d’eau (agriculture) et de pétrole, et de le morceler en trois entités ethniques et religieuses (Kurdes, sunnites et chiites). On a également liquidé ses élites soit par la corruption soit par l’assassinat (plus de 70 physiciens, chimistes et techniciens de haut rang dans le domaine nucléaire disparus ou assassinés). Enfin et surtout cette occupation renforce l’encerclement de la République Islamique d’Iran, principale ennemie d’Israël et de son lobby.
A Gaza en décembre 2008, il s’est agi pour l’entité sioniste de mettre à l’épreuve M. Obama, élu en novembre avec en grande partie, les fonds du lobby sioniste mais également de vérifier par la pratique le nouvel axe régional Israël - pays arabes dits modérés, c’est-à-dire complices : Égypte, Jordanie et certains pays du Golfe Persique. Le silence d’Obama, de Moubarak, sans parler de celui de Mahmoud Abbas, Président de l’autorité palestinienne ont bien montré la complicité unissant les USA, Israël et les gouvernements arabes assujettis au sionisme. Le silence tout aussi complice de l’Union Européenne a confirmé, si besoin en était, son alignement total sur la politique israélienne, alignement renforcé par le retour de la France dans l’OTAN, décidé par M. Sarkozy.
L’échec relatif de l’armée israélienne sur le terrain et l’indignation croissante d’une partie de l’opinion n’ont fait que suspendre provisoirement la question de Gaza. Depuis, le territoire de Gaza est soumis à un total embargo avec la complicité de l’Égypte, des États-Unis, de M. Obama et de l’Union Européenne. Pendant ce temps, la colonisation sioniste de la Cisjordanie et de Jérusalem Est se poursuit, quoi que puisse dire M. Obama pour tenter de tromper l’opinion publique, notamment arabe. La Palestine demeure le pivot de ce conflit opposant la volonté de domination sioniste au reste du monde.
Pour que tombent les dernières illusions sur la politique de « paix » de M. Obama, ce dernier a décidé l’envoi de 30 000 hommes supplémentaires en Afghanistan alors que toute solution militaire du problème est exclue et que la guerre contre les USA et ses alliés s’étend au Pakistan. Pendant que l’empire USraël s’enlise en s’élargissant (suite notamment au mystérieux attentat manqué du « terroriste aux sous-vêtements » et à une possible intervention américaine au Yémen), la situation économique globale ne s’améliore pas pendant que la Chine, la Russie et surtout le front de la résistance (Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas) continuent de se renforcer...
Version officielle ? CIA ? Mossad ? ... ou version officielle + CIA + Mossad ?
Alors une question vient immanquablement à l’esprit : la machine de guerre USraélienne n’a-t-elle pas besoin d’une « relance psychologique », à savoir un nouvel 11 septembre ?
Doit-on s’attendre à une nouvelle provocation gigantesque permettant de mettre en application ce que Samuel Huntington, idéologue des néoconservateurs américains et des sionistes, a appelé le « choc des civilisations » ?
Sous ce terme relevant de la philosophie politique, se cache en fait le nom de la troisième guerre mondiale qui sur les plans psychologique, économique et militaire, est en partie déjà commencée. L’ennemi est de plus en plus clairement désigné, il s’agit de l’Islam. La bonne vieille tactique oblige cependant USraël à ménager provisoirement la Russie et la Chine afin d’empêcher une union entre ces trois entités. En Europe occidentale et notamment en France, la préparation psychologique bat son plein : référendum en Suisse concernant les minarets, débat en France sur l’identité nationale organisé par M. Sarkozy et au cours duquel très vite le suspect désigné est le musulman. Alors que la France connaît environ 9 à 10 millions de chômeurs, travailleurs précaires, sous-payés et nouveaux pauvres, on nous fait découvrir que le problème essentiel du pays est dû à environ 1200 femmes portant la Burqa !
Du député communiste M. Gerin à Éric Besson (passé du socialisme à Sarkozy), le débat s’accentue chaque jour à travers les médias, débat naturellement alimenté par tous les journalistes, intellectuels sionistes, et amis d’Israël. La Belgique, la Hollande, et l’Italie en attendant l’Espagne, n’échappent pas à cette campagne dont le but est clair : en vue de la guerre qui se prépare contre l’Islam et notamment l’Iran, accréditer l’idée que les musulmans européens sont « une cinquième colonne », c’est-à-dire un corps étranger au service de l’ennemi désigné (l’Islam).Dans une Europe minée par la crise économique et ayant perdu tous ses repères spirituels et idéologiques, cette propagande insidieuse, quotidienne et disposant de la totalité des médias, peut porter ses fruits même si pour l’instant, les populations européennes de souche semblent plus que réservées, estimant que leurs problèmes principaux sont l’emploi et le niveau de vie. Il n’empêche que les graines de la haine et de la discorde sont semées tous les jours.
Voilà pourquoi un nouvel 11 septembre se déroulant cette fois sur le sol européen est à craindre. Un nouvel attentat savamment orchestré et frappant une capitale européenne hautement symbolique telle Rome ou Paris n’est pas à exclure.Un tel attentat aurait plusieurs objectifs :
- ressouder les populations européennes contre l’Islam, notamment contre le camp de la Résistance (Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas) ;
- justifier une agression contre l’Iran et/ou le Liban en réponse au pseudo attentat ;
- provoquer des heurts sanglants voire une série de guerres communautaires entre Européens non musulmans et musulmans.

La Belgique, la Hollande, et l’Italie en attendant l’Espagne, n’échappent pas à cette campagne dont le but est clair : en vue de la guerre qui se prépare contre l’Islam et notamment l’Iran, accréditer l’idée que les musulmans européens sont « une cinquième colonne », c’est-à-dire un corps étranger au service de l’ennemi désigné (l’Islam).Dans une Europe minée par la crise économique et ayant perdu tous ses repères spirituels et idéologiques, cette propagande insidieuse, quotidienne et disposant de la totalité des médias, peut porter ses fruits même si pour l’instant, les populations européennes de souche semblent plus que réservées, estimant que leurs problèmes principaux sont l’emploi et le niveau de vie. Il n’empêche que les graines de la haine et de la discorde sont semées tous les jours.
Voilà pourquoi un nouvel 11 septembre se déroulant cette fois sur le sol européen est à craindre. Un nouvel attentat savamment orchestré et frappant une capitale européenne hautement symbolique telle Rome ou Paris n’est pas à exclure.Un tel attentat aurait plusieurs objectifs :
- ressouder les populations européennes contre l’Islam, notamment contre le camp de la Résistance (Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas) ;
- justifier une agression contre l’Iran et/ou le Liban en réponse au pseudo attentat ;
- provoquer des heurts sanglants voire une série de guerres communautaires entre Européens non musulmans et musulmans.
Ce scénario, auquel on nous prépare, signifierait une victoire du lobby sioniste et en même temps la disparition définitive de l’Europe occidentale en tant que force politique. L’Europe deviendrait alors officiellement ce qu’elle est déjà de fait : une annexe d’USraël, gérée depuis Wall Street, contrôlée par le Pentagone via l’OTAN, et prenant ses ordres à Tel Aviv. Il est évident que, compte tenu des réalités géopolitiques, la Russie, la Chine et le Maghreb ne resteraient pas à l’écart d’une telle conflagration dont les effets seraient mondiaux, y compris en Amérique Latine...
Une information de source russe nous est récemment parvenue. Selon cette source le tremblement de terre qui a anéanti Haïti ne serait pas d’origine naturelle mais pourrait avoir été provoqué par le Pentagone. Il s’agirait d’un test avant une éventuelle application aux nations récalcitrantes au sionisme, notamment l’Iran. Le fait que la source soit russe ne doit pas laisser indifférent. La Russie, de par sa situation de pont entre l’Europe, l’Asie et le monde musulman, ainsi que par son arsenal nucléaire, est avec l’Iran une des cibles potentielles du lobby militaro-sioniste. Son retour officiel au christianisme orthodoxe (dont on connaît les liens anciens avec les Chrétiens orientaux, en particulier de Palestine) est également un élément à ne pas négliger, tout comme ses liens avec la Chine et l’Iran via le groupe de Shanghai.
Tout ceci conduit à ce que les dirigeants russes se sentent finalement eux-mêmes menacés par ce tremblement de terre en Haïti. En effet, la maîtrise par les USA de l’arme sismique introduirait alors une nouvelle donne et un nouveau rapport de force international...

Les autorités maliennes refusent de cautionner l'enlevement de trois espagnols et du francais Pierre Camatte par la DCRI alias AQMI
La racaille juive sioniste Kouchner
Sarkosy, Bajolet et Squarcini portent l'entiere responsabilité du sort des otages europeens aux mains de mercenaires travaillant pour la DCRI en Mauritanie, Algerie, Libye, Mali, Niger pour voir s'y implanter des bases militaires de l'OTAN sous controle americano-israelien, chargées du controle du flux de la drogue vers l'occident et de surveiller de tres pres les gisements d'uranium, iridium, silicium, phosphates, gaz et petrole, leurs extractions et transit dans la region. Une recolonisation totale des pays africains sous couvert de 'terrorisme' pour maintenir le monopole du pillage des richesses de ces pays, tout en les plongeant dans des conflits et guerres civiles permanentes. Il semble que les autorités maliennes aient compris qu'AQMI n'existe pas reellement et que ce n'etait rien d'autre de plus qu'une creation de la France-Israel, comme les GIAs.
« Le Mali n’entend pas du tout libérer des islamistes radicaux actuellement détenus dans des prisons maliennes, comme l’a exigé Al Qaîda en échange de la libération d’un otage français », affirment des responsables maliens de la sécurité, cités hier par l’agence de presse française (AFP). Les mêmes responsables affirment que cette décision est prise par les autorités supérieures maliennes. « Notre pays n’entend pas du tout libérer les combattants islamistes qui sont actuellement aux arrêts au Mali. Non, nous n’allons pas les libérer. C’est une décision de nos autorités supérieures », ajoute la même source. Les responsables maliens opposent également une fin de non-recevoir à la demande « insistante » de Bernard Kouchner qui leur avait demandé de satisfaire l’exigence de l’Aqmi pour sauver le ressortissant français, Pierre Camatte, enlevé par les terroristes d’Al Qaîda, le 26 novembre 2009 au Mali.
« Personne n’a à nous dicter notre conduite. Nous sommes un pays souverain et nous prenons les décisions qui nous paraissent nécessaires », rétorque une autre source sécuritaire malienne, reprise par la même agence de presse. Pour rappel, le ministre français des AE s’est rendu, la semaine dernière, à Bamako, la capitale malienne, pour convaincre les autorités de ce pays de libérer les quatre terroristes d’Al Qaîda afin d’obtenir la libération de l’otage français. Outre Pierre Camatte, l’Aqmi avait aussi enlevé trois Espagnols, capturés le 29 novembre en Mauritanie, et un couple d’Italiens kidnappés également en Mauritanie le 17 décembre 2009. Toute en menaçant d’exécuter les otages, Al Qaîda tente d’exercer une pression sur le Mali et les pays européens concernés afin d’accepter ses conditions.
La sinistre organisation avait fixé, la semaine dernière, un nouvel ultimatum à ces pays pour accepter sa proposition, sans quoi elle exécutera les otages. Pour l’otage français, Al Qaîda avait affirmé que « sa vie serait en danger si Bamako et Paris n’acceptaient pas l’accord avant la date butoir du 20 février ».

The fall of Mubarak, the control of Nile Water in Soudan, Egypt and the seizure of the Litani in the Lebanon. Why Netanyahu failed to seize Arab water
Israeli threats to unleash the dogs of war | |
         Israel will target Lebanese civilian infrastructure during its next offensive against Hezballah, according to Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak. Addressing Israeli army officials last Monday, Barak made clear that Tel Aviv would hold nothing back in any future conflict in Lebanon. |  “If Israel is attacked, we will not limit ourselves to only Hezballah targets”, the Israeli Haaretz newspaper quoted Barak as saying.He also reiterated previous Israeli threats that it would hold all of Lebanon responsible for any Hezballah attack. “The government of Lebanon is responsible for everything Hezballah does”, Barak added. “The organization has an internal Lebanese identity, in addition to its well-known affiliation to Syria and Iran”. Israel claims it avoided targeting civilian positions during the 2006 summer war following a tacit agreement with then-US President George W. Bush. Nevertheless, the 34-day assault hit Beirut International Airport, highways, bridges, power stations and other vital civilian infrastructure, causing billion of dollars of damage. Barak also refused to rule out pre-emptive strikes against Iran, should international sanctions fail to stifle what Tel Aviv sees as Teheran’s designs on a nuclear weapons program. An Israeli attack on Iran could prompt responses from Iranian-backed groups in Lebanon -- Hezballah included -- according to some analysts. Israel’s hawkish defense minister has previously warned that any provocation from Lebanon will be met with severe repercussions. Hezballah, for its part, maintains it is ready for another conflict whenever it comes, and its secretary-general, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah promised “surprises” should hostilities restart. Last Tuesday, Israeli warplanes conducted practice aerial raids over parts of the South of Lebanon, including Nabatiyé and Iklim al-Toffah, the National News Agency (NNA) reported. “The said planes performed mock raids at a low altitude, [reaching] to Marjayoun and Khiam”, the NNA added. The latest incident to raise tensions along the UN-demarcated Blue Line -- the boundary of the Israeli military withdrawal from Lebanon -- occurred on Sunday, January 31, when Israeli soldiers arrested a Lebanese shepherd, Rabih Mohammad Zahra, 17, as he tended a flock of sheep close to the disputed Shebaa Farms region. He was returned to the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) and handed over to the Lebanese Army. Zahra claims he was beaten by Israeli soldiers and interrogated about Hezballah positions in South Lebanon. Lebanon has filed a complaint to the UN about Zahra’s arrest, which it claims took place on its side of the Blue Line and is a violation of Security Council Resolution 1701 -- drafted to end the 2006 war -- which stipulates that Lebanon’s sovereign borders be respected. US Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Jeffrey Feltman said last week that Beirut was not doing enough to implement resolution 1701, as Hezballah and other non-state actors harbor weapons south of the Litany River, in violation of intentional law. This promoted a riposte from the Lebanese Foreign Ministry, which claimed that Israel was the main culprit in breaching conditions set by Resolution 1701. “Israel has committed over 6,000 violations since 2006, the latest of which was the abduction of Mohammad Zahra from Lebanese territory on Sunday”, said a statement from the ministry’s media office. Last Tuesday UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon Michael Williams, following a meeting with Parliamentary Speaker Nabih Berri, said that the pair had discussed the implementation of Resolution 1701. Williams told Berri that during a recent visit to Israel, “officials assured me that they still remain committed to the prevailing cessation of hostilities and to Security Council Resolution 1701”. For his part, Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu on Tuesday accused Lebanon of allowing Hezballah to develop its military force by smuggling weapons in violation of a UN resolution. “We are worried about developments in Lebanon and the great flow of weapons, rockets and missiles in blatant violation of Resolution 1701”, Netanyahu told a press conference alongside his Berlusconi. Hezballah is represented in the Lebanese cabinet by what is referred to as its political wing, the Bloc of Loyalty to the Resistance. The government was formed in November by Prime Minister Saad Hariri, and Netanyahu said he held the Lebanese government accountable. “Hezballah is in the Lebanese government and is developing a military force under the government”, Netanyahu charged. “These weapons are without doubt aimed at Israeli civilians”, said Netanyahu. “It is the responsibility of the Lebanese government to prevent attacks against Israel and its citizens”. Berlusconi said he would raise the Israeli concerns when he met Hariri in Beirut later this month. Israel and Hezballah fought a devastating war in 2006. Resolution 1701, which led to an end to the 34-day conflict, set mechanisms to stop arms smuggling into Lebanon.Damascus warns Israel Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Mouallem warned Israel last week about launching any war against his country, saying it would turn into a wider conflict. “Israelis, do not test the power of Syria since you know the war will move into your cities”, Mouallem told journalists in Damascus. “Return to reason, follow the path of peace... and implement the requirements of peace fairly and comprehensively”, he told a media conference with his visiting Spanish counterpart, Miguel Angel Moratinos. Mouallem had been questioned about comments made last Monday by Barak. “In the absence of a peace agreement with Syria, we might find ourselves in a forceful conflict that could lead to an all-out war”, Barak’s office quoted him as saying in a speech to senior officers on Monday. The Syrian minister said such statements “heightened the risk of war in the region. If such a war comes... it will be widespread even if it is waged against [just] South Lebanon or Syria”, Mouallem warned, while excluding the chance of “peace negotiations being launched after such a war”. Moratinos, who visited Israel and the Palestinian Territories last Monday and Tuesday, said he “had not heard the war drums beat” in the Jewish state. “Instead, I heard about peace”, he said, stressing that the European Union would keep up its efforts to revive the Middle East peace process. Syrian President Bashar Assad said in a meeting with Moratinos that “Israel was not serious in achieving peace and that everything showed it was working towards a war”, according the state news agency SANA. Syria and Israel held indirect talks mediated by Turkey in 2008 over the Golan Heights, which was seized and later annexed by the Jewish state after the 1967 war. Israel’s firebrand foreign minister further fuelled the battle of words with Syria last Thursday, warning that its president would be toppled in any armed conflict between the two countries. Avigdor Lieberman’s direct verbal punch at Assad capped several days of threats traded between Israel and Syria. “When there is another war, you will not just lose it, but you and your family will lose power”, Lieberman asserted a day after Mouallem’s words of caution in the presence of Moratinos. Hours after Lieberman spoke, Netanyahu’s office sought to ease the tone, saying the premier had spoken to the ultra-nationalist foreign minister on the Syrian issue. “The two would like to make it clear that the government’s policy is clear: Israel seeks peace and negotiations with Syria without preconditions”, a statement said. “At the same time, Israel will respond vigorously and with determination to any threat against it”. And analysts warned against reading too much into the blunt language from both sides. “All this is just posturing and things will calm down in two or three days since neither Israel nor Syria wants to cause a war”, said Eyal Zisser, a specialist on relations with Syria at Tel Aviv University. The latest spat emerged after Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak warned on Monday that if there is no peace agreement with Syria, “we might find ourselves in a forceful conflict that could lead to an all-out war.” But Barak reaffirmed on Thursday that “peace with Syria is a strategic objective”, and tried to distance himself from the row. “The least I can say is that I am unhappy with the exchanges of the past two days”, the Labor Party leader said. Zisser said he believed the Syrians misinterpreted Barak’s original comments, which were meant as an argument in favor of renewed negotiations. The previous government of Ehud Olmert held a series of Turkish-brokered peace feelers in 2008. On Thursday Netanyahu suggested relaunching the contacts, which collapsed after Israel launched its devastating military offensive in the Gaza Strip in December 2008. “The prime minister has declared on numerous occasions he is willing to go anywhere to negotiate with Syria, without precondition,” his office said, lamenting what it said were obstacles put in the way by Syria. But Lieberman’s warning to Assad overshadowed Netanyahu’s statement. “It should be clear that if he provokes us, it will end badly for him on the battlefield but also for his power. I hope this message will be heard in Damascus”, the minister said at a business conference at Bar Ilan University near Tel Aviv. Lieberman noted that Egyptian President Gamal Abdel-Nasser and Syrian President Hafez Assad -- Bashar’s father -- both stayed in power after they were defeated in wars against Israel. Moshe Maoz, a political analyst at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, called the minister’s outburst “a disaster” that “destroys” Israeli efforts at making peace. And Eitan Cabel, a member of Parliament in Barak’s center-left Labor Party, urged Netanyahu to get rid of Lieberman, calling the foreign minister a “warmonger who has neither honor nor wisdom”. South Lebanon residents in fearful anticipation More than three years after the last war between Israel and Hezballah, South Lebanon residents are preparing themselves for a new conflict. “If you come back, we’ll be waiting for you”, Hezballah warns Israel on a billboard near the southern village of Aita Shaab. It was across the border from Aita Shaab that Hezballah fighters captured two Israeli soldiers in a deadly cross-border raid in July 2006, provoking a devastating month-long Israeli offensive against Hezballah strongholds in South Lebanon and destructive onslaughts against civilian facilities in other parts of Lebanon. The war killed more than 1,200 people in Lebanon, mainly civilians, and 160 Israelis, most of them soldiers. “We’re afraid, of course”, commented Hayat, a resident of the southern village of Cana, which came under deadly bombardment in the 2006 war. “Every day we hear news of a possible new war”, she observed, adding that she feared any renewed fighting would see even the heart of the capital Beirut bombed. “Where will we hide?” she asked. Her neighbor Diba agreed that any new conflict risked being more devastating than 2006. “If war erupts, Syria and Iran will participate too. Next time it will not be limited to Hezballah”. Israeli officials have warned repeatedly in recent weeks that any attack by Hezballah will meet with a tough response. Last month, Yossi Peled, an Israeli minister without portfolio and a reserve army general, warned Israel was heading towards a new war with Hezballah. “We are heading toward a new confrontation in the north, but I don’t know when it will happen, just as we did not know when the second Lebanon war [i.e. the conflict of 2006] would erupt”, Peled told Israeli radio. In Aita Shaab, new houses and villas are under construction, visible to Israeli soldiers across the border. But a third of the homes in the village remain in ruins after the 2006 war. Farmer Hassan Srour’s house was reduced to rubble. “We are rebuilding, and if war breaks out again, then we will rebuild again”, the 39-year-old said resignedly. “We have got used to occupation, war and destruction. Where are we expected to go? This is our land”, he said. Unlike in Northern Israel, villagers in Aita Shaab are not building bomb shelters as they reconstruct their homes. “What for?” said Srour. “In 2006, two of our neighbors were buried alive in their bomb shelters”. Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri has voiced fear of another “Israeli intervention” and Hezballah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah said the next war would “change the face of the region”. In the village of Yarin, Khaled and his wife Dima, who run a shop near the border, carry on with their daily lives amid the mounting war of words. “This time with the first explosion we’re packing our bags”, Dima said. Akel Hammoud, from the nearby village of Beit Leef, said Hezballah’s fighters were prepared for any Israeli move. “Everything is ready”, he said. “The weapons and equipment are there. All we need is anti-aircraft defense”. Visit of Sleiman to Cyprus and Moscow Continuing his official visits to foreign capitals, President Sleiman will in February 12 go to Cyprus at the head of a ministerial delegation for talks with his Cypriot counterpart, Dimitris Christofias and senior officials on issues of mutual interest in the light of Lebanon’s presence as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council Beirut sources indicate that the president will raise the issue of oil-prospecting in the waters between the two countries and the demarcation of the two countries’ respective spheres in those waters, as well as the sphere of Syria. President Sleiman will then go to Moscow on February 24 at the invitation of President Dimitri Medvedev, with whom he will have negotiations on issues of mutual interest, the Arab-Israeli conflict and developments on the regional and international scenes. Sources close to Prime Minister Hariri say he will be visiting Moscow later, after his trips to the Vatican and Washington. Cabinet meeting Failing to adopt amendments suggested by the interior minister to the law on municipalities, the Council of Ministers convened once again on Wednesday at the Serail under the chairmanship of the prime minister to discuss the above-mentioned law, while the rest of the meeting was dominated by the aftermath of the crash of the Ethiopian airliner. Concerning the municipal elections and in the absence of an agreement among ministers, President Sleiman insisted on “the necessity of holding the municipal elections within the legal frame time”, this being preferable to their postponement”. During Tuesday’s cabinet meeting, the head of state discussed the municipal elections with many ministers to try to reach a consensus likely to ensure the holding of the elections in a calm climate and on the basis of an agreement on amendments to the electoral code. But no decision was taken. Aoun in Syria after Lahoud Visiting Syria over the weekend was former President Emile Lahoud for talks with President Bashar Assad on the regional and international situations. The former president was accompanied by his two sons. After Lahoud, General Michel Aoun, leader of the Free Popular Movement (FPM), was to visit Syria on February 9 to celebrate the feast of Saint Maroun. Speaking of the weapons of Hezballah, Aoun said, “I’ve placed myself on the side of Hezballah because its weapons have a justification. If we want to eliminate them, let’s begin by eliminating the reasons for them”. March 14 closes ranks With the political changes which have taken place on the local scene, the March 14 movement has been trying to close ranks following what some have called reverses for it on the local scene, and in the context of preparations to mark the fifth anniversary of the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri on February 14. Movement leaders met at the Le Bristol Hotel last week to discuss their position. The moderate tone of the communiqué issued after the meeting reflected the reflected “the imperatives of the present situation and also confirmed the movement’s presence on the scene and its capacity to adapt without changing anything in its immutable national principles”, said one source, speaking anonymously. The meeting grouped more than 136 political and civil personalities; Prime Minister Saad Hariri, former President Amin Gemayel (now supreme leader of the Kataeb Party), Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea, Dory Chamoun and Carlos Eddé, respectively leaders of the National Liberal Party and the National Bloc; former MPs Nayla Mouawad, Solange Gemayel and MP Sethrida Geagea, who are the principal figures of the movement. Also on hand were ministers, MPs, and a host of others who adhere to the movement’s ideals. Noted was the absence of MP Walid Jumblat, once a top figure in the movement, and of most members of his parliamentary Democratic Gathering bloc, apart from MP Marwan Hamadé, who was attending in a personal capacity, he said. Also absent was Nassib Lahoud, leader of the Democratic Renewal movement. The presence of the prime minister was regarded as significant in view of rumors that he might distance himself from the movement because of his official functions and in the wake of his recent meeting with Syria’s President Bashar Assad. The closing statement had a moderate tone compared with those of previous statements, in the context of the calm prevailing on the local and regional scenes. In another development, the president of the UN Special Tribunal for Lebanon, Antonio Cassese, visited Beirut last week for talks with officials. He told reporters of the “great complexity” of the investigation into the assassination of Rafik Hariri and said there was no deadline for issuing indictments in the case. Pastoral visit by Cardinal Sfeir to Syria Maronite Church sources note that Patriarch Nasrallah Sfeir will be making a pastoral visit to Syria to be informed of conditions among his flock in Aleppo, Damascus and Latakia. The visit is to be coordinated with the Syrian authorities, though they have issued no formal invitation to him. http://www.mmorning.com/ArticleC.asp?Article=7633&CategoryID=2 |

================================================
Des évènements troubles se déroulent depuis quelque temps dans notre pays, en relation avec les luttes souterraines des clans qui se partagent le pouvoir. Nonobstant leur contenu, ces événements nous permettent d’observer sous leur vrai jour les grands prédateurs qui ont fait main basse sur le pouvoir et sur les ressources vitales de notre pays. Cette grave situation de corruption généralisée et de dilapidation des richesses de notre pays requiert de nous tous, une réaction énergique et immédiate. L’Algérie est la patrie de toutes les Algériennes et de tous les Algériens. Nous refusons qu’elle se transforme en propriété privée d’une caste félonne, ou en butin de guerre d’une minorité de criminels.
Dans cet esprit, je soumets cette initiative en demandant à tous les patriotes d’en débattre sereinement :
Il s’agit de la mise en place – en Europe, au Canada, aux USA, voire partout où se trouvent des algériens – de coordinations composées de patriotes libres et intègres, qui enquêteraient sur les avoirs des barons du régime à l’étranger et qui porteraient systématiquement les faits à la connaissance de nos concitoyens, afin de faire poursuivre en justice dans ces pays-mêmes, les criminels auteurs de détournements de fonds publics, appartenant au peuple algérien.
Progressivement, cette initiative s’étofferait et cette action de salubrité publique deviendrait – avec l’aide de Dieu – de plus en plus positive, ayant pour finalité, le recouvrement par le Trésor Public Algérien, des fonds détournés. Ainsi, nous démontrerons au monde entier que l’Algérie n’est pas une manne en déshérence ni une proie facile et que le Peuple algérien est décidé à se défendre contre les ogres insatiables, secrétés par un pouvoir illégitime et corrompu qui a rongé le pays et terni sa réputation.
Je demande à nos ami(e)s de l’Appel du 19 mars – signataires et autres adhérents à notre démarche – ainsi qu’à tous les mouvements de l’opposition réelle, de s’impliquer dans cette initiative, aux côtés de nos compatriotes. Parce que ce sursaut doit être celui de tout le peuple algérien.
J’invite aussi tous nos compatriotes juristes de formation, qui se sentent concernés par cet appel à réagir en se penchant sur les voies et moyens que le Droit International a prévus, pour la saisine des Instances Pénales Internationales contre les criminels auteurs de ces détournements massifs, perpétrés au préjudice du Peuple algérien.
Il appartiendra à l’Histoire seule, de juger entre ceux qui se positionnent aux cotés des prédateurs, des criminels et des félons et ceux qui prennent position aux cotés de leur peuple et de leur patrie.

Christmas Day Crotch Bomber tied to Israel, FBI
By Jeff GatesOnline Journal Contributing Writer
The Christmas Day “terrorist” is the latest in a series of staged incidents meant to make The Clash of Civilizations appear plausible and “the war on terrorism” rational.
The Christmas Day “terrorist” is the latest in a series of staged incidents meant to make The Clash of Civilizations appear plausible and “the war on terrorism” rational.
The storyline does not hold together. Not even a little bit. As usual, the source of this media-fueled fear campaign traces directly to Tel Aviv -- with a supporting role by the FBI.
How did a young Nigerian Muslim without a passport “slip through” security at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport? Not only did his itinerary feature an illogical travel route, he paid cash for a high-priced last-minute ticket and boarded without checked baggage. How?
ICTS International, the security screening company at Schiphol, was founded by former members of Shin Bet, Israel’s civil security agency, and Israeli executives in charge of El Al security. ICTS had already proven its expertise in mounting this type of operation.
In December 2001, Richard “The Shoe Bomber” Reid “slipped through” ICTS security at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. Huntleigh USA, an ICTS subsidiary, shared responsibility for security at Logan International Airport in Boston where hijackers for two of the four 9/11 jets “slipped through” airport security. It gets better.
The Crotch Bomber told U.S. authorities that radical Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki counseled him on the incident. Born and raised in New Mexico, Al-Awlaki moved to Yemen in 2004 after advising the two 9/11 hijackers who trained in San Diego. He also advised U.S. Army Major Nidal Hasan who is charged with shooting 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009.
It’s not yet clear whether FBI agents were monitoring the Nigerian while he too was advised by Al-Awlaki. If not, that would be an anomaly in a repetitive pattern of FBI complicity.
FBI agents not only monitored Major Hasan and Al-Awlaki before the Fort Hood shootings, they also monitored the San Diego hijackers while they were advised by Al-Awlaki. It gets better.
Though the Nigerian was foiled while trying to ignite 80 grams of PETN, an explosive sewn into his underwear, that amount was barely enough to dislodge the arm on his seat -- of course that assumes it could have been ignited.
Without a blasting cap, this “terrorist incident” was doomed to failure even before he “slipped through” security. Could this get even better? Oh yeah.
We were told about his father alerting the C.I.A. station chief in Lagos However, we were not informed that his father, a banker, oversaw a Nigerian defense firm that hired Israeli Defense Forces personnel to train Nigerians -- in security.
Nor were we told that, for decades, Nigeria has been a central hub for Israelis laundering the proceeds of their transnational organized crime. That’s not all.
The Iraq War connection
Four days after 9/11, San Diego special agent Steven Butler came to the San Diego home of Iraqi-American Munther Ghazal, the Iraqi closest to Saddam Hussein then living in the U.S.
That’s the same day Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz proposed in a principal’s meeting at Camp David that the U.S. should invade Iraq. Iraq?!
Agent Butler paid rent and cashed checks for the two San Diego hijackers while they were being advised by Al-Awlaki. What did Butler want to know? Was Ghazal funding Mel Rockefeller with whom he had traveled to Iraq in 1997.
While in Baghdad, they confirmed that Saddam Hussein had mothballed Iraq’s WMD program after the 1991 Gulf War -- and was prepared to negotiate his departure without this war. That was four years before 9/11. The FBI has yet to interview Mel Rockefeller.
Meanwhile, the usual suspects are once again profiting off the misery of both sides in a “Clash” that they played a key role in creating. It was Jewish Zionist Bernard Lewis who first coined the term, The Clash of Civilizations.
Only later was Harvard professor Samuel Huntington branded with that premise when his book by that name was published in 1996, five years before 9/11.
Israeli-American Michael Chertoff, former secretary of Homeland Security (aka the rabbi’s son), now promotes firms that manufacturer highly intrusive body scanners that are terrific for spotting crotch bombers unless, of course, an Israeli firm is in charge of security.
News reports suggest that the stock of body-scanning firms soared $3 billion in value after this latest “terrorist” incident. Imagine the glee among clients of the Chertoff Group.
Meanwhile the U.S. has been transformed from the wealthiest nation to the world’s largest debtor. Nobel economist Joe Stiglitz projects a $3 trillion tab for a war based on fixed, flawed and outright fabricated intelligence -- every cent of it borrowed, including $700 billion in interest.
Tel Aviv: The common source of terror
That’s not all. Controlling shares in ICTS are held by Menachem Atzmon, board chairman since 2004. While treasurer of Israel’s long-dominant Likud Party, Atzmon was convicted of campaign finance fraud. His co-treasurer, Ehud Olmert, resigned as prime minister in 2008 after being acquitted of fraud amid multiple corruption charges.
Did I forget to mention that ICTS was also handling security for London’s bus system when the U.K. was targeted for its terrorist attack? Did I neglect to note that six months prior to the Shoe Bomber’s flight on American Airlines, Richard Reid was stopped at Schiphol while boarding an El Al flight to Tel Aviv? Shin Bet allowed him to board so he could be monitored in Israel.
Did the Israelis inform their loyal ally about Richard Reid? What do you think?
Remember the October 1983 truck bombing of the Marine Barracks in Beirut that left 241 Americans dead? A former Mossad case officer conceded they had a description of the truck. Did our ally tell us? What do you think?
Our withdrawal from Lebanon left the field open to those who specialize in displacing facts with what targeted populations (including our own) can be deceived to believe.
Recall our belief in Iraqi WMD? Iraqi ties to Al Qaeda? Iraqi mobile biological weapons laboratories? Iraqi yellowcake uranium from Niger? Iraqi meetings in Prague? All were false. All were traceable to Tel Aviv. Are you still having trouble connecting the dots?
As the U.S. sinks into bankruptcy, we are ridiculed abroad for failing to acknowledge the obvious: Americans have long been the target of a fraud operated by Israelis, pro-Israelis and those supportive of their goals for the region.
What better way to wage war on the U.S. than from within? How else can Israel expand except by duping its super power ally to wage wars for Greater Israel? Never mind the cost in blood and treasure. As an ally, the U.S. is easily portrayed as guilty by association.
Those promoting the Crotch Bomber scare are part of the problem. In the Information Age, this latest false flag operation is typical of how treason proceeds in plain sight yet, to date, with impunity. Those media outlets marketing this latest lie are an enemy within.

Any attack would destabilise the US which is why Israel wants to attack now, to finish the transfer of western key control powers to Tel Aviv
10 Geopolitical Predictions for 2010 & Short Term Strategic Outlook
A great – and still growing – divergence appeared in 2009 between public statements by leaders and their public performance. The politicized, romanticized theater of increasingly populist “democratic” leaders and media seemed to be of a different planet from activities taking place in the real world.
While a large part of the global population appears still transfixed by words, there is a growing perception that great fissures already rend the global strategic architecture.
This is a trend which will compound during 2010.
There is a widespread belief that the world has “ducked the strategic bullet” of global economic collapse, but this is merely the delusionary euphoria of the severely wounded patient. Severe structural damage has occurred to the key driver of global economic stability, the United States. Most major economies of Western Europe and Asia, although in plight, have been protected in their fall by a complex web of structures and the fact that they were not, in many respects, as leveraged as the US. Britain and Japan, however, remain leveraged in their debt-to-asset ratio, to a death-defying degree.
All of this has been long in coming, and brought to a speedy climax by the unprecedented recklessness of inflationary spending by US Pres. Barack Obama, and, in the UK by Prime Minister Gordon Brown. The modern world (East and West, but prompted by the West) is at a junction point in a long process of constantly growing — but poorly-defined — obsession with “rights” (entitlements). This had its origins with the halting, but consistent, rise in global prosperity which began with the early stages of the Second Industrial Revolution (1700-1900).
Thus, a butterfly flutters its wings in 18th Century Britain and a tsunami engulfs the world in the early 21st Century.
Managing the now-overwhelming sense of entitlement in what we call modern democracies has become, because of the power of a comprehensive, but ill-informed electorate, an exercise in mob control, and an opportunity for populist demagoguery.
Pres. Obama’s statement of January 25, 2010, that he would now curb US Government spending was, like most of the statements of the past year, self-serving and had nothing to do with reality. His plan to push through a State-dominated healthcare system at a reputed cost in excess of $1-trillion (quite apart from other discussions about a new “stimulus package” of spending) makes a mockery of the pre-election posturing of fiscal moderation (that is, his posturing before the 2008 and the 2010 elections). In any event, a review of the statistics of the US shows that his proposed “freeze” on a small part of US Government spending would be, compared with his profligacy and reduction of private sector productivity and capital formation ability, a derisory diversion.
Without dwelling, for the purposes of this estimate, on the cumulative impact of ever-broadening the electoral franchise — which creates an automatic disposition of an electorate to demand increasing benefits without attendant increases in productivity — the Western economies are probably at a point where they must attempt to create fairly draconian, centralized power structures to rule more by diktat than by “democracy”. That is the only recourse to stem the growing dysfunction of government brought about by the “democratic” necessity to pander to a restive populace.
In a report on March 20, 2009, I noted: “the ‘professional politician’ will morph into new forms of Cæsarism or Bonapartism. This is already underway, as ‘leaders’ with no practical experience of the world increasingly fear the uncertainties of markets and the confidence of those who can actually create, manage, and build. Thus, the ‘new socialism’ is a system built by leaders who demand central control of societies and who genuinely fear freedom.”
The new circus includes the pandering to newly-created pseudo-scientific religions, such as “climate change”, which have so greatly distracted governments, the media, and populations from their daily work as to have already hampered the chances for economic viability in the near future. Those, however, who live by the sword of populism — mob rule — must ultimately answer to that same fickle crowd, which, as Elias Canetti noted in Crowds & Power, has no mind, only wants.
Pres. Obama is already facing the turning crowd, which is why, on January 25, 2010, he began his studied portraiture of reasonableness and fiscal moderation, a process to continue in his January 27, 2010, State of the Union address to the US Congress. The policy analyst, however, must look to actions, and the feasibility and context of those actions, and not to the words which attend them.
Let me highlight some of the cautions which I have made over recent years, without merely repeating the ground of the March 20, 2009, report.
1. The decline in Western asset values will likely continue in the broad sense through 2010, which will automatically lead to a compounded reduction in the asset-based credit available. In other words, Western economies will be forcibly “de-levered”, quite apart from the fiscal prudence which will cause a reduction in risk investment;
2. The West will demonstrably not contest dominance of the major oil and gas fields of Iraq, Iran, Nigeria (and elsewhere in the Gulf of Guinea) against competition from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and, to a lesser extent, India. This will force moves in the US toward natural gas exploitation and — as Obama and the “green left” depart — possible exploitation of US oilfields and new nuclear energy approaches. This would in turn imply a renewed look at nuclear waste disposal. But none of this Western search for alternatives will occur in 2010.
3. The conflict in Afghanistan will become increasingly strained as the US sends out, literally, signals of surrender to the Taliban, who take all calls from the US for a “negotiated settlement” in the wake of a pronouncement of US imminent withdrawal as a sign of weakness and defeat. It is, in fact, such a signal. And while senior US military and security officials “reassure” regional states, such as Pakistan, that the US would, in fact, remain in the area beyond the Obama withdrawal deadline of 2011, the reality is that — absent the removal of Obama from office — this will not happen. Once again, the “long-timers” in the US bureaucracy, including those in Defense and State, believe that they can outwait and outwit the “short-timers”. But the determined short-timer, such as Pres. Obama, can and will wreak havoc and destroy the pillars of the system before he leaves. And when Obama leaves, the money, in any event, will be also gone, and with it the capability and viability for the US to remain in or near Afghanistan. Indeed, the destruction of key elements of the US economic and political framework has already occurred.
4. Quite apart from the US ability to sustain South Asian operations in the manner which the Washington insiders have assured the Pakistanis (and others, such as the Australians), the reality is that India — which the US has been courting as a strategic partner — will of necessity have to re-align with Russia if it is to gain any access to the Eurasian heartland. If it does not, it will never be able to compete strategically in the near future with the PRC, which is pushing ahead with the construction of more efficient overland links to the Indian Ocean through Myanmar and through Pakistan (from the Karakoram Highway down to the Baluchistan Arabian Sea port of Gwadar, which had been offered twice by Pakistan to the US, which refused it).
5. A strategic opportunity is emerging for the West — and possibly for India — in the transformation now occurring in Myanmar as the ruling military leaders take very seriously their approach to elections later in 2010. This could — could, not necessarily will — mean that Myanmar opens to a more Western orientation to the detriment of the PRC, but only if the US can support the notion of providing some measure of post-election security, ideally within Myanmar, for the retiring military leaders. The US lost massive credibility in this kind of undertaking when it lured Liberian Pres. Charles Taylor into exile in Nigeria in 2003 and then broke promises of safe-haven for him, and organized his subsequent extradition to the UN’s International Criminal Court (ICC), to which the US does not even subscribe.
6. As global productivity fades during 2010 (albeit with some pockets of resilience), many Western leaders will turn to sophistry and intellectual distractions, such as an attempt to assert or blame “international law” as the mechanism for remedying their situations. There is, in reality, no such thing as “international law”, but there is an attempt to create it, even absent global acceptance of such a concept. There are norms of international behavior, but, strictly speaking, the United Nations (around which much of the proposed “international law” is being built) specifies the right of nations and peoples to self-determination, free from external interference. But what we are seeing is the creation of a minority-controlled set of structures — such as the “International Criminal Court” and its derivatives — creating laws without any valid legal framework. The ICC derivative judging “war crimes” in the former Yugoslavia, for example, has been making up laws and case law to validate its position. In any event, 2010 will see a stark removal of the media-perpetuated view that “international law” exists. The PRC and India have already indicated that they will not comply with so-called climate change measures; they will not commit their populations to starvation by forcing emission reduction measures on their industries, making them unaffordable or uncompetitive. This, as I have often said, is part of the trend which sees nations moving back toward nationalistic stances and protectionism. “International law”, and the United Nations itself, is heading toward irrelevancy. The feel-good gatherings, such as the World Economic Forum, at Davos, Switzerland and even the Copenhagen conference on “climate change”, become mere distractions from the real issues facing the world.
7. The unease and conflict in the Arabian Peninsula will continue apace, with strong Iranian support and some Russian interest, merely because there is nothing to stop it. Only a total compromise of Yemen Pres. ‘Ali ‘Abdullah Saleh to Iran — something which would greatly antagonize Saudi Arabia — can bring the fighting in the area to a more contained level, and even that would signify an Iranian victory. Inter-governmental talks on the security and stability of Yemen, held in London on January 27, 2010, were essentially cosmetic, and signified the lack of Western commitment to addressing the problem in the Arabian Peninsula and the Red Sea. The most significant unknown factor is the degree to which Oman can stop the spread of unrest into its country, which controls the southern littoral of the Strait of Hormuz. Equally, Oman’s unique culture, and the strength of its leader, Sultan Qaboos bin Sa’id al-Said, is its best safeguard, as well as the West’s best hope for security at the Strait.
8. It is in a climate of profound international distrust in any Western support or ability to protect that we will see the transition of power occurring in places such as Egypt and Nigeria in 2010. Both states are critical to the West, both geopolitically and in energy terms. France has offered a strong degree of support for a stable Egyptian transition, but the rest of the West has been fairly impotent. Similarly, Pakistan is undergoing a constitutional crisis which may see Pres. Asif Ali Zardari removed by the Supreme Court which he, essentially, helped reinstate after the end of the Musharraf Administration. Even if Pres. Zardari can circumvent the mounting constitutional legal case being mounted against him, his powers are being eroded by the National Assembly.
9. It is profoundly unlikely that Israel will militarily attack Iran in 2010, or in the foreseeable future. As a result, the clerical leadership in Iran will move inexorably toward greater consolidation, a process which will occur in diametric contrast to the rising shrillness of US condemnation of Iran’s nuclear position. The reality is that (a) international embargoes against Iran have already failed, and new embargoes cannot be implemented as long as Russia and the PRC guarantee Iranian trade, (b) the US (and Israel) cannot militarily attack Iran with any hope of a positive strategic outcome because the nuclear and National Command Authority targets are too diffuse and there is no capability of a ground-force follow-up, and (c) the Iranian population would, as they have always done, react with great hostility to any foreign attack, rallying around the government of the day, even if they have despised it. The only hope of what the US calls “regime change” in Iran can come if it is at the hands of the Iranian population, and Russian and PRC support for the Administration of Pres. Mahmud Ahmadi-Nejad’s security services has ensured that the Iranian public cannot effectively combine to remove him. Still, mounting internal frustration in Iran could result in a coup by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC: Pasdaran).
10. The People’s Republic of China will continue to manage the great internal disparities through 2010, but there is no guarantee that Beijing will not face major hurdles in the year. Moreover, the continuing poor economic performance in Japan and the US will continue to constrain PRC exports and dampen PRC economic options given the extent of Chinese holdings of US securities which grow less attractive by the day.

Prof. Francis Boyle: Israel Is Committing Genocide
“What we’re seeing in Gaza now, is pretty much slow-motion genocide against the 1.5 million Palestinians who live in Gaza…. If you read the 1948 Genocide Convention, it clearly says that one instance of genocide is the deliberate infliction of conditions of life calculated to bring about the physical destruction of a people in whole or in part,” stated Francis A. Boyle, professor of International Law at the University of Illinois in Champaign. “And that’s exactly what has been done to Gaza, since the imposition of the blockade by Israel; then the massacre of 1,400 Palestinians, two-thirds of whom were civilians, in Operation Cast Lead. And that also raises the element in the Genocide Convention, of murder, torture, and things of that nature.”
Boyle spoke to {EIR} on Jan. 15, 2010, giving his assessment of Gaza, one year after the Israeli attacks. He stressed that he was speaking only for himself.
While the Israelis stopped the artillery bombardment and air strikes just before the inauguration of President Barack Obama in 2009, the deaths of Palestinians continue–from lack of medicines, infrastructure, clean water, and everything else that the world community–as shown in emergency aid to Haiti–{knows} is necessary to sustain human life.
But no international action has been taken to stop genocide in Gaza–despite the finding by the UN’s Goldstone Report that Israel committed war crimes in the wanton destruction of civilian infrastructure, and in the killing of civilians, and despite the Jan. 21, 2010 letter by more than 50 members of the U.S. Congress to President Obama that due to “the unabated suffering of Gazan civilians,” he must press to end the Israeli blockade.
Similarly, according to Turkish Prof. Bulent Aras, there is almost no hope for a peace agreement, or for ending the growing isolation of Israel from the international community, unless Gaza is opened and reconstruction begins. Aras was speaking on a Jan. 14 conference call, sponsored by the Turkish SETA and New America Foundations in Washington, D.C. He was addressing the recent tensions between Israel and Turkey after the Israeli Foreign Ministry insulted the Turkish ambassador, and on the collapse of the Turkish-mediated Israel/Syria negotiations, which ended with the Israeli attacks on Gaza.
According to Boyle, the question of the Gaza opening must be immediately taken up by the Obama Administration. “We need all the openings to Gaza, the crossings from Egypt and Israel, opened immediately. {Massive} provision of humanitarian assistance, medical supplies to Gaza–exactly what Obama’s doing today, with respect to Haiti–I support that! But why aren’t they doing it to Gaza? You have 1.5 million people over there.
“Unless this step is undertaken, certainly on Gaza, relieving the people of Gaza with massive humanitarian relief supplies, I really think we’re going to see a dog-and-pony show,” being run by the Obama White House, and the sending of Sen. George Mitchell to the region.
So far, what the U.S. has done is, “once again, provid[ed] diplomatic cover for Israel to stall and delay its objectives, and meanwhile, they continue to steal Palestinian lands, destroy their orchards, destroy their olive fields, and build more settlements. This has been going on, right from the beginning of the Middle East peace negotiations in 1991, when I was legal advisor to the Palestinians and the Syrians at that time.”
But, “miracles can always happen: Look at the darkest days of the apartheid regime in South Africa, and all of that collapsed,” said Boyle. “Well, here we have another apartheid regime, Israel. It’s apartheid to its core, it always has been. This whole situation could turn around and collapse very quickly–I just don’t know. But I’ll hang in there, certainly, with the Palestinians.”
And recent events in the field of international law lead Boyle to say that, as in the case of Chilean fascist Pinochet, law may catch up with Israeli criminals.
- No Immunity Under Nuremberg Codes -
Few international figures can speak in as much detail about the decades-long fight against Israeli war crimes, and the political blocks to prosecuting them, than Professor Boyle, who has led successful campaigns at the United Nations to bring war criminals–for example, those who committed crimes against the citizens of Bosnia-Herzogovina in the 1990s Balkan War–before an international tribunal.
Even before “Operation Cast Lead,” Boyle had proposed that the UN General Assembly establish an International Criminal Tribunal for Israel (ICTI) as a “subsidiary organ” under UN Charter Article 22. Boyle’s proposal has been endorsed by Malaysia and Iran, and supported in General Assembly debates by some dozen Arab and Muslim nations.
His work on bringing Israelis to justice for war crimes goes back much further–to the 1982 massacres at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Lebanon, conducted under the watch of top Israeli officials like Gen. Ariel Sharon and Gen. Amos Yaron.
Boyle told {EIR}, “I think that I was probably the first lawyer ever to file a lawsuit against a major Israeli war criminal–that was back in about 1986, when I represented several women who were next of kin of the victims of the massacre of Sabra and Shatila, and I sued General Yaron, whose forces were occupying the Sabra and Shatila camps, and the whole massacre took place under his direction and control.”@s1
“I sued him … about 1986. Eventually I lost the lawsuit, when the Reagan Administration entered the lawsuit through the State Department, and claimed that Yaron, since he was being admitted to the country and accredited as Israel’s military attache@aa to Washington–which we tried to stop, and indeed, we held up for quite some time–had diplomatic privileges and immunities, could not be sued.”
“I dealt with that issue, saying that under the Nuremberg principles, there are no privileges and immunities in the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity.” But the court decided that because Yaron got a “formal certification” by the Reagan Administration, “this was a political question and the Court could not do anything to the contrary.” But that was not the end of it. Since then, he has followed “all the lawsuits against Israeli war criminals” internationally, “and they’ve really taken off, and they will take off” further. In the U.S. he says, “because of the pretty much Zionist control and domination of the American judiciary, none of these lawsuits have gotten anywhere,” he says, but “abroad, they are making progress…. “I advise the Belgian lawyers. They filed another lawsuit, 20 years later [in 2002], against Yaron, Sharon, Elie Hobeika, and [Gen. Rafael] Eitan for the massacre at Sabra and Shatila,” which was a criminal case. Boyle explained that the 2002 case came to an end {only after the Belgian law was changed by the Parliament under pressure}–because someone else had sued U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld under the same law. Rumsfeld threatened Belgium and NATO unless that law was rescinded, and Parliament killed it.
“But, at this point, it doesn’t matter: The genie is out of the bottle. Twenty-five years ago, or so, when I filed that lawsuit [over Sabra and Shatila], there weren’t too many lawyers qualified to do that work. Today, with the expansion of the human rights community, you have all sorts of lawyers qualified to do that work, and they’re doing it.” Asked about recent arrest warrants issued in Britain against Israeli officials, Boyle exclaimed, “That’s starting now! They’re going after them in Britain; they’re going after them in Belgium…. “So, I think, eventually, we’re going to get one of these people, just like the human rights lawyers in Britain got General Pinochet. Indeed, now we know, that before Israeli government officials travel abroad, they have to get legal advice as to where they can travel–which is good. Unfortunately, they can still pretty much freely travel here to the United States! And that’s all they really care about.
“But they’re really in a sort of pariah status now, in many other countries, especially in Europe. And that will continue, for sure.”
- Open Gaza Now; End Apartheid –
Nearly 30 years after Boyle’s first lawsuit, U.S. policy still gives Israel impunity for war crimes, beginning with Gaza.
“In the Obama Administration, they are continuing to aid and abet the genocidal Israeli policies against the 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza,” Boyle told {EIR}. Just recently, the U.S. “pressured the Egyptians to build a steel wall on the border of Gaza, to cut off Gaza, to stop the tunnels that were bringing food, relief supplies, medicines, and everything else to the people,” he revealed. And it was done with the assistance of U.S. Army engineers. This “makes a mockery of the claim by the Obama Administration and the alleged efforts by Senator Mitchell, to reconvene the Middle East peace negotiations,” he said. And unless Mitchell and the Obama Administration are prepared to do something–immediately–to stop the war crimes in Gaza, then the mission will be just another “dog-and-pony show.”
“When President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton called for Netanyahu to freeze the settlements, and Mitchell did, too, Netanyahu stood up to them and forced them to back down.
“So–I’m not questioning Senator Mitchell’s good faith and intentions and experience–but if Netanyahu has already successfully stood him down on the settlements, how is he going to get Netanyahu to do anything? Secondly, how is he possibly going to engage in any type of good faith negotiations between Israel and Palestine, brokering them, when he–Senator Mitchell–Obama, and Clinton, are working with the Israelis and the Egyptians, to starve 1.5 million Palestinians? How can this be done?”
According to Boyle, Obama had already decided on the track of “toeing the line” for Israel during the 2008 campaign, when in response to Republican John McCain’s claim that he was “soft” on supporting Israel, Obama promised Jewish voters in Florida that he would appoint Rahm Emanuel as his chief of staff. “Now, Emanuel is an agent of the AIPAC [American Israel Public Affairs Committee], which, in turn, is an agent of the Israeli government…. [David] Axelrod is a Zionist; Dennis Ross is now at the White House, he’s a Zionist…. [Most of] the cast of characters there in the White House … are Zionists,” Boyle said. “Fortunately, Senator Mitchell, in charge of these negotiations, is not. But I really don’t know how much freedom Senator Mitchell has to do anything under these circumstances.”
- The Two-State Solution -
There are international actions in the works to use every possible avenue to stop the war crimes against the Palestinians, and Boyle is involved in many of them.
“Right after Operation Cast Lead ended, I did advise Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian President,” says Boyle, “to send in a declaration, under Article 12, paragraph 3, of the Rome Statute for the International [Criminal] Court, accepting the jurisdiction of the Court, and requesting prosecution of the Israelis, high-level Israeli officials, for what they did to the people of Gaza. And President Abbas did do this….
“Just recently the ICC prosecutor, [Luis] Moreno-Ocampo, did make a public statement to the effect that he is investigating this, for two reasons: 1) to determine, do the Palestinians have sufficient government and state capacity to make this declaration; and then, 2) were war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Israel against the Palestinians part of Operation Cast Lead?
“That statement by Moreno-Ocampo was [issued] before the Goldstone Report came out, and Goldstone determined that, in fact, Israel had committed war crimes and crimes against the Palestinians…. “Right now, as we speak, the Council of Foreign Ministers of the League of Arab States has proposed a resolution to be submitted to the Security Council for Palestine to be admitted as a UN member-state, with the 1967 boundaries. “Admission to the UN is done by the General Assembly, but it must be upon recommendation by the Security Council. The problem there, is, of course, it could be subject to a veto by the Obama Administration. I don’t know what position they are going to take on this: I would hope they are going to abstain. Certainly, the votes for the admission of Palestine to the United Nations are there.
“Right now, today, the State of Palestine is recognized bilaterally {de jure} by about 126 states. It has all the rights of a UN member-state, except the right to vote; it has state membership in the League of Arab States, the Islamic Council Organization [ICO], and then, also, in the advisory proceedings by the World Court on Israel’s [Separation] Wall, the State of Palestine was invited to participate in a state capacity.
“So, that is another initiative. Now, the problem is, Israel is claiming, fatuously, that somehow, this is going to interfere with the peace process. Well, first, right now, there is no peace process. But, second, this is ridiculous, because if Palestine is admitted to the United Nations with the 1967 boundaries, we will have two states at the UN: We will have Israel and we will have Palestine, and we will have the [UN Resolution] 242 boundaries. Even Netanyahu has recently stated that he is favor of two states, {mirabile dictu}! Obama has stated he’s in favor of two states. Even Bush said he was in favor of two states!
“This would be–as I saw it originally in my advice to President Abbas–a way to produce two states, for two people, living in peace and both bound by the requirements of the United Nations Charter for the peaceful resolution of international disputes, that would overcome the fact that there are no Middle East peace negotiations going on right now. So, those are three initiatives, I want to have taken myself.” Boyle has a fourth initiative, which is gathering international steam–disinvestment.
“Back in 2000, I did call for the establishment of the Israeli disinvestment campaign, and have worked quite hard to push that. That’s a grassroots movement. Certainly in my lifetime, which goes back to civil rights for African-Americans, the only progressive change we have ever seen in this country is by a grassroots movement by the common, ordinary, everyday people of America. And, as of 2000, the Palestinians did not have a grassroots movement in their support, so I decided to set one off, and it’s doing quite well. Indeed, it’s take off worldwide.”
- Dershowitz Accused of War Crimes – On one issue–the Jewish settlements in the occupied lands–Israel has {already} been found, by an international court, to be in violation of international law. This has caused a firestorm of reaction from Israel, and its apologists, like Harvard’s Alan Dershowitz. But, Boyle and a number of other American human rights advocates have taken Dershowitz on, and are ready to do it again.
The settlements are “clearly illegal and criminal,” said Boyle. “All the settlements, as the World Court ruled in the advisory opinion on the [Separation] Wall, all these settlements violate the Fourth Geneva Convention, and a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention is a war crime. All these so-called settlers are committing war crimes, except the children, who are obviously not old enough to formulate a criminal intent.
“Indeed, Alan Dershowitz began attacking the World Court for this ruling and attacking their credibility, and this, that, and the other.
“Well, Dershowitz is not a trained international lawyer; he’s not a trained human rights lawyer. I debated him once, and he sort of gratuitously conceded that I was the expert on these subjects. “But in any event, what Dershowitz was not aware of, was that in the advisory committee proceedings, the American judge, Thomas Buergenthal, {who is a Holocaust survivor, himself}, joined the ruling–he dissented against a lot of other things by the World Court [International Court of Justice]–but Judge Buergenthal ruled that the settlements violate the Fourth Geneva Convention. And to Judge Buergenthal’s credit–I’ve known him for many years; I have a lot of respect and admiration for him–he made this ruling.
“So, in other words, Dershowitz was attacking the integrity of a Holocaust survivor. But of course, that doesn’t surprise me: He attacked [Prof.] Norman Finkelstein’s mother; he also attacked Prof. Israel Shahak, one of the leaders of the peace movement in Israel, himself a Holocaust survivor, unfortunately, no longer with us, but a great man.
“I’ve dealt with [Shahak], I have great respect, and indeed, he was going to have a lecture tour here in the United States, in, I guess, the Fall of 1990, and he was coming to speak in Champaign, [Ill.], and the organizers of his lecture tour asked me if I would put him up in my home as my guest, in order to conserve on expenses, and I agreed. And I was greatly looking forward again to meeting Professor Shahak…. But as you know, with the Gulf crisis, Professor Shahak decided to cancel his lecture tour and stay home with his own people, which was certainly understandable.
“Dershowitz couldn’t care less. Whatever kind of outright character assassination he has to apply to anyone, even Holocaust survivors like Judge Buergenthal, Professor Shahak, Norman Finkelstein’s mother, it doesn’t bother Dershowitz. Indeed, my understanding is, he’s trying to run to become President of Israel, to take Peres’s place. Well, fine, it would be great to get him out of Harvard Law School–my dis-alma mater!–and ship him over to Israel with all the other war criminals over there. “In fact, I say that, because Dershowitz admitted, publicly, that he is part of a Mossad committee that authorized the assassination of Palestinians.
“You can find that article on counterpunch.org, by Prof. [Liquat Ali] Khan. Well, the Palestinians are all protected persons under the Fourth Geneva Convention, and for Dershowitz to authorize their murder is a war crime. So, Dershowitz is a {prima facie} war criminal, who should be prosecuted himself. [Footnote 2]
“And there he is, teaching at the Harvard Law School, and advocating torture, crimes against humanity, war crimes against the Palestinians. As you know, he said, `Well, we should just be obliterating their villages. You know, if they do this, there’s a terror bombing here, we [should] destroy one of their villages.’
“And, of course, Dershowitz also advocates torture here, in America. The guy’s shameless.
“I remember, [when] I started [at Harvard], Dershowitz started as an assistant professor, and his first big case was defending a pornographic film star in `Deep Throat.’ Dershowitz likes to present himself as some great defender of the First Amendment…. Well, as Catherine McKinnon has, I think, taught us all, pornography is a form of violence against women: It’s a human rights matter. So, it doesn’t surprise me that Dershowitz started his career defending pornographers and pornography, and was and still is greatly proud of it–and now he moves on to defending war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and in addition, over the years, became a war criminal himself.
“But the sum of it is, he’s still teaching there at Harvard Law School. So, I hope he goes back to Israel and becomes President, sure! Be great to see him go: Bon voyage.”

Terreur sur l’Europe : « La cruauté de la compassion »
les banksters terroristes Trichet et Bernanke
4 février 2010 (Nouvelle Solidarité) – « La cohésion sociale sert désormais d’excuse pour éviter de nécessaires réformes en Europe », nous explique sans vergogne The Economist, le magazine de la City de Londres qui a pour code d’honneur de ne jamais signer ses articles. Non content d’avoir popularisé le terme en vogue PIGS qui voudrait que le Portugal, l’Italie, l’Irlande, la Grèce et l’Espagne soient traités de « porcs » pour ne pas avoir respecté les sacro-saints critères de Maastricht, The Economist met tout son poids dans la balance pour imposer une cure d’austérité à tous les pays qui ont eu la faiblesse de croire que l’Union monétaire n’était pas un empire.
Dans son article intitulé « La cruauté de la compassion », l’hebdomadaire britannique use d’une vieille ruse en stigmatisant « syndicats » et « fonctionnaires » qui usurpent « le désir naturel de cohésion sociale » au détriment des laissés pour compte du marché du travail que sont « les chômeurs, les intérimaires, les jeunes et les immigrés ». Ainsi, pour The Economist, la véritable cohésion sociale serait de détruire ce qui sépare ces deux catégories de la population active : « Dans toute l’Europe, de nombreux travailleurs du secteur privé ont vu leurs salaires, leurs retraites et autres avantages sociaux être gelés ou coupés par des employeurs à court d’argent à cause de la récession. Mais pour l’instant, la plupart des gouvernements, même la Grande-Bretagne, se sont montrés réticents à appliquer le même traitement au secteur public ». Même « le président conservateur de la France Nicolas Sarkozy » est vilipendé pour « ne pas vouloir égratigner la cohésion sociale (et risquer des problèmes avec la rue) en poussant durement des réformes du marché du travail, des retraites et de la protection sociale ».
Il faut donc prendre exemple sur le courageux gouvernement irlandais qui « a jeté au rebus le pacte social trentenaire qui l’unissait aux employeurs et aux syndicats. Il a tranché dans les dépenses publiques et entaillé profondément les salaires. En effet, les salaires chutent dans toute l’économie. Evidemment, les travailleurs et les syndicats ne sont pas contents et le secteur public vient de se mettre en grève. Mais ce traitement sévère semble fonctionner puisque l’Irlande sort de la récession, les finances publiques s’améliorent et l’économie recouvre de sa compétitivité perdue dans la zone euro. »
En France, c’est le collègue de Dominique Strauss-Kahn et économiste en chef du FMI, le comportementaliste Olivier Blanchard, qui a apporté son soutien au programme d’austérité de la City contre les pays d’Europe. Dans les colonnes des Echos, il a courageusement affirmé : « Maintenant, avec la crise, le Portugal, l’Espagne et la Grèce éprouvent de sérieuses difficultés. Celles-ci impliquent des ajustements très pénibles. Surtout lorsque l’environnement inflationniste est très bas. Le rétablissement de leur compétitivité peut nécessiter de lourds sacrifices, comme une baisse des salaires. »
Il est donc clair que la Grèce n’est pas le véritable problème ; elle n’est que la porte d’entrée pour imposer un fascisme financier sur les provinces d’une Europe « unie ». L’erreur de départ fut de sacrifier notre souveraineté sur l’autel de Maastricht. Eh bien, pour régler le problème, il va donc falloir en revenir et créer un système de crédit au sein duquel chaque nation pourra émettre sa propre monnaie pour financer son redéveloppement et ainsi construire ces grands projets européens que l’existence de la BCE a de fait interdits.

Apres la mort de racaille juifiste Belkheir, la France-Israel perd le controle de la sonatrach, Sarkosy se prepare a un changement de regime
Révélations. Assassinats pendant la décennie noire : Bouteflika installe une Commission d’enquête autonome
On le savait déjà avec les émanations qui se propagent depuis quelques semaines, rien ne va plus dans les dédales du Sérail. La tension, connue déjà, entre la Présidence et le Département du renseignement et de la sécurité (DRS), s’est encore accentuée ces derniers jours et la situation risque de s’empirer dans les jours à venir. Motif : le président de la République, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, a décidé d’ouvrir la boîte de Pandore et de mettre un puissant coup de pied dans la fourmilière Algérie.
Des sources proches de la Présidence ont révélé à Algérie-Focus.com que Bouteflika s’apprête à mettre en place une «Commission sécuritaire autonome», composée de plusieurs magistrats et procureurs civils et militaires en vue de rouvrir certains dossiers et affaires restés en suspens ou bâclés à leur époque. «Ces dossiers que Bouteflika veut rouvrir, c’est du lourd», nous dit notre source, qui a requis l’anonymat. Il s’agirait, selon elle, de plusieurs affaires d’assassinats menés durant la décennie noire et qui ont ciblé des personnalités nationales, à l’instar de feu Mohammed Boudiaf ou encore du Général Fodil Saidi.
Notre interlocuteur rajoute que «Pour une raison ou une autre, cette démarche du président de la République n’a pas trop plu aux Services du DRS et à son homme fort, le Général Mohamed Mediène dit Toufik». Le projet de Bouteflika a, de ce fait, ravivé le conflit mis en stand by entre les deux puissantes institutions algériennes: la Présidence, menée par les partisans de Bouteflika, et le DRS sous la houlette des fidèles de Toufik. «Le conflit a pris une tournure alarmante», rajoute notre source.
Cette dernière révèle, également, que «des copies des deux dossiers d’enquête ont été adressées par la Présidence aux Services du DRS afin de les compléter dans le but de faciliter la mission de la Commission d’enquête mise en place par Bouteflika». «Bouteflika veut imposer cette Commission d’enquête au Patron du DRS qui n’apprécie pas vraiment la chose.
Il faut savoir que jusqu’à présent, ce genre d’affaire étaient l’apanage exclusif du DRS. Le Général Toufik l’a fait savoir et a émis un niet catégorique à tous déclassement de dossiers pour le compte de la Présidence, particulièrement pour les deux affaires Boudiaf et Fodil Saidi», poursuit notre source. «C’est une question d’équilibre des Pouvoirs mais aussi de Politique. Bouteflika veut se refaire une santé politique auprès des Algériens par la réouverture de ce genre de dossiers.
«Toufik a un autre avis sur ce sujet», conclut notre source. In fine, le bras de fer DRS/Présidence est engagé de nouveau et la tension est montée d’un cran depuis quelques temps. Au vue de ses informations, les récentes révélations sur les scandales à Sonatrach ou dans le projet de l’Autoroute Est-Ouest ne semblent pas anodines, encore moins faisant partie d’une opération anti-corruption, mais visant plutôt le Cercle présidentiel. La preuve étant le silence et le désarroi déconcertant des proches de Bouteflika, comme Khelil et Zerhouni. Bouteflika contrattaque.

La vie de Mahmoud Abdel Raouf Mohammed Al-Mabhouh
Palestine – CPI
www.palestine-info.info
www.palestine-info.info
Ô Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh ! Tu as toujours été un chef courageux, habile et initiateur dans tous les domaines. Tes empreintes, on les trouve partout. Tu n’avais jamais peur de la mort, tout au contraire, tu cherchais le martyre. Nous ne pouvons écrire de ta vie qu’un minimum, toi qui a tant fait de mal aux occupants israéliens.
Naissance
C’est le 14 février 1960 que le moudjahid Mahmoud Abdel Raouf Al-Mabhouh est né. La Palestine était en rendez-vous avec l’enfant qui allait grandir et être une épine dangereuse sur le chemin des occupants israéliens.
Et c’est dans le camp de réfugiés palestiniens de Jabalia, bloc 9, que le chef Al-Mabhouh est né, dans une famille pratiquante. Elle est originaire du village de Beit Tima, occupé en 1948.
Al-Mabhouh est né dans le camp de réfugiés palestiniens de Jabalia et c’était là, dans ce camp de la révolution, du premier feu de la Première Intifada, qu’il grandit. Un enfant qui haïssait l’occupation plus que tout. Il rêvait toujours de se voir grandir pour travailler contre ceux qui commettent des massacres envers notre peuple palestinien.
Le jeune Al-Mabhouh grandit et devient un sportif de premier ordre. Une fois, il a gagné le premier prix de bodybuilding face à toute la bande de Gaza. En 1982, notre martyr a déménagé vers le camp de réfugiés palestiniens de Tal Az-Zatar.
La vie sociale
Le martyr avait treize frères et deux sœurs. Il était le cinquième enfant. En 1983, il s’est marié pour mettre au monde quatre enfants. Mona, 24 ans. Abdel Raaouf, 21 ans, un étudiant universitaire. Majd, 11 ans. Ranim 7 ans.
Le martyr était connu pour sa ferveur religieuse. Il invoquait Allah (le Tout Puissant) afin qu’Il purifie son âme, que son travail soit entièrement destiné au Créateur. Il donnait une bonne éducation islamique à ses enfants. Il les a emmenés à la Mecque.
L’éducation
Le martyr a fait ses études primaires à l’école Al-Ayyobiyya, dans le camp de réfugiés palestiniens de Jabalia. Ensuite, il a obtenu un diplôme en mécanique auto. Il a ouvert un garage dans la rue de Saladin. Sa bonne conduite a attiré beaucoup de monde.
Le Hamas et les brigades d’Al-Qassam
En 1988, les combattants des brigades Ezzeddine d’Al-Qassam, sous la direction de Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh, ont pu capturer un sous-officier sioniste pour le liquider plus tard.
Après la première réussite, les combattants enlèvent, en mai 1989, un soldat de l’occupation israélienne. Plus tard, ne pouvant le garder vivant, ils l’ont tué.
Dans le même mois, les occupants israéliens ont pris connaissance de son implication dans ces opérations. Et le 11 de ce mois-là, des forces spéciales encerclent sa maison. Les soldats cassent les portes, lancent des bombes assourdissantes et arrêtent tout le monde, mêmes les enfants. D’autres soldats habillés en ouvriers agricoles l’attendaient dans son atelier. Mais deux de ses frères sont arrivés. Son frère Fayeq a été blessé et arrêté. En 1990, un tribunal israélien a décidé de démolir la maison du martyr et de confisquer sa terre.
Quitter Gaza
Malgré la dure poursuite de la part des forces israéliennes d'occupation, le martyr Al-Mabhouh a pu, avec collègues, passer en Egypte, puis en Libye, avant d’aller en Syrie et de continuer son chemin de combattant.
La veille du martyre
Mahmoud Abdel Raouf Al-Mabhouh était de passage à Dubaï. C’est dans un hôtel de cette ville des Emirats Arabes Unis que les Sionistes l’ont assassiné, le 19 janvier 2010.
Il est parti, mais il reste une lumière permanente dans le chemin de la résistance et de la libération.
Les fils des Brigades Ezzeddine d’Al-Qassam et tous les combattants te vengeront.

Pris la main dans le sac, les israeliens et leurs pantins americains prevoient maintenant de nouveaux 11 Septembre. Nous vous informions trois semaines auparavant que tous les plans avaient ete transmis en details a plusieurs pays. Ceux-ci ont organise des fuites dans leurs journaux respectifs, prouvant encore une fois que nos revelations se basent uniquement sur de l'intelligence pure et non sur de l'affabulation de juifistes comme les rapports que Squarcini fait ecrire sur mon compte !

| Washington prévoit un nouveau 11-Septembre d’ici six mois |
| Publié le 05 février 2010 | |
L
es principaux responsables des services de renseignement US ont suscité l’émoi lors de leur audition annuelle par la Commission parlementaire du Renseignement, le 2 février 2010. Dennis C. Blair, directeur national du Renseignement a d’abord évoqué une possible guerre dans le cyber espace, dont on a compris qu’elle serait déclarée par la Chine et mettrait en péril toute l’infrastructure informatique mondiale.Puis, il a annoncé que ses services se réservaient le droit d’assassiner toute personne liée à un groupe terroriste menaçant la vie de citoyens états-uniens, y compris lorsque le suspect est lui-même ressortissant US et ou qu’il se trouve. Surtout l’amiral Blair, le directeur de la CIA Leon Pannetta, le directeur du FBI Robert Mueller, le directeur du Renseignement militaire Ronald Burgess et le directeur du Renseignement du département d’Etat John Dinger ont affirmé chacun qu’Al-Qaeda ourdi une attaque d’un nouveau genre, de manière à échapper aux dispositifs anti-terroristes, et pourrait frapper le territoire états-unien d’ici trois à six mois. A usage interne, cette déclaration vise à préparer l’opinion publique états-unienne à un nouveau cataclysme et à un possible retour à la politique néo-conservatrice. Mais à usage externe, elle vise à contrer la rumeur diffusée par de grands journaux du Proche-Orient tels que Kheyan (Iran), Al-Binaa (Liban) ou Al-Wataan (Syrie). Selon ces médias, pour relancer le « choc des civilisations », l’Etat hébreux s’apprêterait à organiser un nouveau 11-Septembre qui serait attribué à Al-Qaeda. Cependant, toujours selon ces sources, les services secrets iraniens et turcs auraient observé des agents israéliens réalisant des repérages non pas aux Etats-Unis, mais en Europe. Tel-Aviv étudierait la possibilité de frapper une cible à très forte symbolique religieuse, telle que la cathédrale Notre-Dame de Paris ou la basilique Saint-Pierre de Rome. Cet attentat justifierait une nouvelle croisade anti-musulmane. Pour visionner l’enregistrement vidéo intégral de cette audition, cliquez ici. |
The Axelrod Factor: Why Obama Fails to Deliver
By Christopher Bollyn,
www.bollyn.com
After one year in office, President Barack Obama has failed to deliver on any of his key campaign promises. Public opinion of the Obama White House has clearly changed. Obama has only succeeded in protecting the outrageous 9-11 deception, wasting billions of dollars in bailing out Maurice Greenberg's criminal enterprise A.I.G. and the corrupt investment banks he insured, and increasing the killing and suffering in the Middle East and Central Asia. To understand why Obama seems unable to deliver we need to know much more about his Senior Advisor David Axelrod -- the man who made Obama president.

After one year in office, President Barack Obama has failed to deliver on any of his key campaign promises. Public opinion of the Obama White House has clearly changed. Obama has only succeeded in protecting the outrageous 9-11 deception, wasting billions of dollars in bailing out Maurice Greenberg's criminal enterprise A.I.G. and the corrupt investment banks he insured, and increasing the killing and suffering in the Middle East and Central Asia. To understand why Obama seems unable to deliver we need to know much more about his Senior Advisor David Axelrod -- the man who made Obama president.
After one year, even the New African asks Obama, "Where is the hope?"
"What went wrong?" Pat Oliphant asks the "Great Obama."
"Now what?" Time magazine asks of the president who was elected on promises of change but fails to deliver. He can't even close the outrageous gulag of Guantanamo? What's wrong?
"Who is Barack Obama?" Bob Herbert of the New York Times asks, "Americans are still looking for the answer, and if they don’t get it soon — or if they don’t like the answer — the president’s current political problems will look like a walk in the park."
"Mr. Obama promised during the campaign that he would be a different kind of president, one who would preside over a more open, more high-minded administration that would be far more in touch with the economic needs of ordinary working Americans. But no sooner was he elected than he put together an economic team that would protect, above all, the interests of Wall Street, the pharmaceutical industry, the health insurance companies, and so on," Herbert wrote in his editorial of January 25 entitled, "A Credibility Gap."
"Who is Barack Obama?" asks Bob Herbert of the New York Times.
"Americans want to know what he stands for, where his line in the sand is, what he’ll really fight for, and where he wants to lead this nation," Herbert concluded. "They want to know who their president really is."
THE AXELROD PRESIDENCY
It is safe to say that the U.S. government today is a far cry from what the framers of the Constitution intended. Congress has lost its control over our currency and completely abdicated its role as the only branch that can declare war. These powers now belong to the president, directly or indirectly. The executive branch has gained immense power at the expense of the legislative branch, our representatives in Congress. The result is that our presidents have much more power than envisioned by the Founding Fathers. The real power of the U.S. government is centralized in the person of the president, who has more power than a king or czar. To control the United States one need only control the president. The president is controlled by the people around him, his chief of staff and senior advisors. This is why it is essential to understand who advises the president because these are the people who shape the policies of the White House.
To understand the Obama presidency one needs to know the people who made Barack Obama president. Chief among the people behind the Obama presidency is David Axelrod, Obama's friend, senior advisor, and chief media and political strategist. If one were to look behind the televised images of Barack Obama, one would find David Axelrod writing the speeches and creating the image of the candidate and the president. While Barack Obama is the face of the current administration, the policies, words, and images are creations of David Axelrod. So overwhelming is his influence on the White House that it would be fair to call this the Axelrod Presidency.
David Axelrod is the man who explains the Obama administration to the world.
Axelrod is Obama's right-hand man and is always at his side.
Axelrod goes everywhere Obama goes...
Axelrod writes Obama's speeches...
and coaches him on how to present them, as he has since 1992.
Axelrod has been with Obama as his advisor and chief strategist every step of the way, creating and shaping the candidate who became president after a short career as a politician from Chicago.
Looking at the Obama White House from outside, one might get the impression that David Axelrod is the real president and Obama is his spokesman.
WHO IS DAVID AXELROD?
The most peculiar thing about David Axelrod is that although he is clearly one of the most powerful men in the government of the United States, for most Americans he remains an unknown factor. The controlled media does nothing to help us understand who Axelrod is. How can that be? How is it that Axelrod represents the executive branch of the U.S. government on television and speaks to the media daily about the policies of the U.S. government and nobody cares to explain who this person is and how he became senior advisor to President Obama? Who is this senior political advisor to the president who said, quite incorrectly, in June 2009 that Iran had nuclear weapons - on national television? Who is Axelrod to say that Iran will face consequences for failing to submit to the extra-judicial dictates of the so-called "international community," as he did at the end of 2009?
David Axelrod is a Chicago-based media consultant, advertising man, and corporate lobbyist who makes his living by changing public opinion to support his clients, who are primarily political candidates and major corporations. Axelrod is really a paid lobbyist who uses television advertising to change public opinion on behalf of his clients. Because he has two kinds of clients – political candidates and large corporations - Axelrod started two media companies: AKP&D Message and Media for politicians, and ASK Public Strategies for corporations. While all partners at AKP&D (A is for Axelrod, with John Kupper, David Plouffe, and John Del Cecato) held senior positions on the Obama campaign, it wasn't the only campaign AKP&D worked on. AKP&D also provided services to the presidential campaigns of John Edwards and Hillary Clinton.
Creating a positive image to affect public opinion through television ads is one of the basic services Axelrod provides. To do this he writes most of their speeches. Because he has so many politicians as clients, sometimes he re-uses the same speech. When Obama the candidate used the same speech that Deval Patrick or John Edwards had used earlier, it wasn't plagerism – it was simply Obama reading a recycled Axelrod speech.
David Axelrod is described on the White House website as the former "Senior Partner" at AKP&D, who "managed media strategy and communications for more than 150 local, state, and national campaigns, with a focus on progressive candidates and causes."
SourceWatch has information about David Axelrod and his media companies. As a former resident of Cook County who was born and raised in the Chicago area, I can say that the people who Axelrod has helped put into office in Illinois and Chicago are anything but "progressive." Having monitored elections in Cook County, I can say with a high degree of certainty that the Chicago-based political figures that Axelrod has worked with are actually part of a large criminal enterprise.
Why would David Axelrod be involved in promoting candidates who are so easily corrupted? Why is a son of Romanian Jewish immigrants working to promote black candidates in cities and states across the country? Who tells Axelrod who to support and what policies to promote?
ATTACK DOGS OF ZIONIST TERRORISTS
David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel run the Obama White House.
David Axelrod works very closely with Rahm Emanuel, President Obama's Chief of Staff. Axelrod and Emanuel are the highest level Zionist agents/controllers of the Obama administration. Rahm Emanuel is named after an Israeli terrorist from the Stern Gang and is the son of Benjamin (Auerbach) Emanuel, a former member of the Irgun, the Zionist terrorist organization headed by Menachem Begin. The Irgun was behind the bombing of the King David Hotel in 1946, the worst terrorist bombing in Palestinian history.
Rahm Emanuel with his brothers and his father, Benjamin, who admitted to the author that he had been a member of the Irgun, a terrorist gang headed by Menachem Begin.
Menachem Begin was a well-known terrorist who went on to become prime minister of Israel.
Begin had been a criminal in the Soviet Union (1940) before bringing his terror methods to Palestine.
While still in their twenties, Axelrod and Emanuel began working together to defeat Senator Charles H. Percy (R-Ill.) in 1984. Percy was a popular senator who had served three terms and risen to become the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Senator Percy had become a powerful adversary of Menachem Begin, the former terrorist leader who had become prime minister of Israel. Begin saw Percy as an enemy in the U.S. Congress because Percy was openly critical of illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories and advised Israel to compromise with the Palestinians. Percy had also criticized Israel's brutal siege of West Beirut during the summer of 1982, saying, "It could turn out to be, if it continues this way, Israel's Vietnam."
Sen. Charles H. Percy
When Begin read a report Percy had called for economic measures to be taken to stop Israel's murderous invasion of Lebanon, Begin fired back. "I would like to tell Senator Percy that nobody, nobody is going to bring Israel to her knees. You must have forgotten that Jews do not kneel but to God," an angry Begin told Jewish fund-raisers in Jerusalem. Philip M. Klutznick of Chicago, the former president of B'nai B'rith International and the World Jewish Congress, who had corresponded with both Percy and Prime Minister Begin, was a key Jewish fund-raiser who conspired with Begin and took action to remove Senator Percy from office.
Begin wanted Percy removed from his position of power in the U.S. Congress and Klutznick made it happen. When Axelrod and Emanuel went to work for the Paul Simon senate campaign (1984) they were taking orders from Klutznick and working as the political attack dogs for Menachem Begin, one of the most notorious terrorists of history. Axelrod was later commissioned in 1992 by Klutznick to make Barack Obama "our first black president," as his daughter Betty Lu Saltzman said.
David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel are clearly not working for America's best interest in the Obama White House. They are the highest-level point men in the White House for an international network of Zionist criminals. The candidates that Axelrod promotes are not progressive. They are controlled. The Zionist strategy in promoting candidates who can be controlled is what I call "Control through Corruption."
THE 9-11 CONNECTION
One of Axelrod's clients was Michael R. White, who was mayor of Cleveland from 1990 to 2002. Mayor White played a key role in the actions that took place at the Cleveland airport on 9-11, when it was reported that Flight 93 and another plane had made emergency landings and that the passengers had been taken into the NASA facility at the airport where they had been interviewed by FBI agents.
Mayor Michael White of Cleveland lowered Sam Miller's property tax by $56 million and played a key role in the deception of 9-11.
Mayor White headed what is described as the most corrupt administration in Cleveland history. Nate Gray, who is currently in prison, was White's "bagman," and collected bribes for contracts. During a court hearing in September 2008, U.S District Judge James Gwin said Gray still refused to testify "to protect some compatriot."
Michael White's "bagman" Nate Gray went to jail for 15 years.
As I wrote in "The Hollywood Fantasy of Flight 93" in 2006:
On August 17, 2005, White's business associate and close friend, Nate Gray, was convicted of 36 criminal counts relating to bribery of public officials in four cities. Two days after the Gray conviction, Brent Larkin, in an editorial in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, wrote: "Now we know that, at the very least, White presided over a government that will forever be remembered as one of the most corrupt in the city's history."
The central figure in the corruption of the White administration appears to be Samuel H. Miller, co-chairman of the board of directors and treasurer of Forest City Enterprises, Inc., a family-run company with extensive real estate holdings which it owns or manages. The Ratner family, which Miller married into, controls Forest City Enterprises. Ricardo Teamor, one of the co-defendants in the racketeering and extortion scheme with Nate Gray, told the FBI that Mayor White, Gray, and Miller had regular business dinners at the Ritz Carlton hotel for years. According to Teamor, Gray said that Miller controlled White and told the mayor what to do.
Miller was White's biggest financial backer when, as a little-known state senator, White ran for mayor in 1989. Miller is also a national leader in Zionist and Jewish causes. He is, for example, the national chairman of the United Jewish Appeal (UJA), a past chairman of the Cleveland Jewish Welfare Fund and Israel Bonds, and a member of the board of trustees of the Jewish National Fund. Miller is also the father of Aaron David Miller, who served for two decades at the Department of State as senior adviser to six Secretaries of State, where he was involved in formulating U.S. policy on the Middle East and the Arab-Israel peace process.
The Zionist Jew Sam Miller ran the city of Cleveland...
...while his son Aaron (center) crafted U.S. policy in the Middle East for two decades. Here Aaron Miller talks with the war criminal and genocidaire Ariel Sharon.
When David Axelrod worked his television magic to get Michael White elected mayor, he was really working for Sam Miller. Miller then used White to serve his purposes. Under Mayor White, Sam Miller's taxes for the property he owned (with the Ratner family of Forest City) in Cleveland fell every year to the point where he was paying very little tax. When White took office in 1990, he cut Miller's property tax by 21 percent. In 1991, Miller's taxes fell another 20 percent. In 1992 his taxes fell another 17.3 percent and in 1994 by 12.4 percent - for a tax cut of 71 percent in four years. During the first four years of White's administration, Miller's assessed property value was lowered by $160 million, saving him and Forest City $56 million. This savings for Miller and Forest City lowered revenues for Cleveland schools and libraries. Axelrod also worked on something called the Gateway Committee (Cleveland Downtown Redevelopment Program), which was a project that the Miller family was very much involved in.
David Axelrod is a highest-level Zionist agent controlling the president of the United States. Here he discusses candidate Obama's visit to Israel as he speaks from the King David Hotel. This was the hotel that was bombed by Rahm Emanuel's father and his gang in 1946 killing more than 90 people.
Menachem Begin was the terrorist head of the Irgun when it bombed the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, killing nearly 100 people. Rahm Emanuel's father was an active member of this terrorist gang at the time and probably was involved in this atrocity given the fact that he lived in Jerusalem at the time.

"What went wrong?" Pat Oliphant asks the "Great Obama."
"Now what?" Time magazine asks of the president who was elected on promises of change but fails to deliver. He can't even close the outrageous gulag of Guantanamo? What's wrong?
"Who is Barack Obama?" Bob Herbert of the New York Times asks, "Americans are still looking for the answer, and if they don’t get it soon — or if they don’t like the answer — the president’s current political problems will look like a walk in the park."
"Mr. Obama promised during the campaign that he would be a different kind of president, one who would preside over a more open, more high-minded administration that would be far more in touch with the economic needs of ordinary working Americans. But no sooner was he elected than he put together an economic team that would protect, above all, the interests of Wall Street, the pharmaceutical industry, the health insurance companies, and so on," Herbert wrote in his editorial of January 25 entitled, "A Credibility Gap."
"Who is Barack Obama?" asks Bob Herbert of the New York Times.
"Americans want to know what he stands for, where his line in the sand is, what he’ll really fight for, and where he wants to lead this nation," Herbert concluded. "They want to know who their president really is."
THE AXELROD PRESIDENCY
It is safe to say that the U.S. government today is a far cry from what the framers of the Constitution intended. Congress has lost its control over our currency and completely abdicated its role as the only branch that can declare war. These powers now belong to the president, directly or indirectly. The executive branch has gained immense power at the expense of the legislative branch, our representatives in Congress. The result is that our presidents have much more power than envisioned by the Founding Fathers. The real power of the U.S. government is centralized in the person of the president, who has more power than a king or czar. To control the United States one need only control the president. The president is controlled by the people around him, his chief of staff and senior advisors. This is why it is essential to understand who advises the president because these are the people who shape the policies of the White House.
To understand the Obama presidency one needs to know the people who made Barack Obama president. Chief among the people behind the Obama presidency is David Axelrod, Obama's friend, senior advisor, and chief media and political strategist. If one were to look behind the televised images of Barack Obama, one would find David Axelrod writing the speeches and creating the image of the candidate and the president. While Barack Obama is the face of the current administration, the policies, words, and images are creations of David Axelrod. So overwhelming is his influence on the White House that it would be fair to call this the Axelrod Presidency.
David Axelrod is the man who explains the Obama administration to the world.
Axelrod is Obama's right-hand man and is always at his side.
Axelrod goes everywhere Obama goes...
Axelrod writes Obama's speeches...
and coaches him on how to present them, as he has since 1992.
Axelrod has been with Obama as his advisor and chief strategist every step of the way, creating and shaping the candidate who became president after a short career as a politician from Chicago.
Looking at the Obama White House from outside, one might get the impression that David Axelrod is the real president and Obama is his spokesman.
WHO IS DAVID AXELROD?
The most peculiar thing about David Axelrod is that although he is clearly one of the most powerful men in the government of the United States, for most Americans he remains an unknown factor. The controlled media does nothing to help us understand who Axelrod is. How can that be? How is it that Axelrod represents the executive branch of the U.S. government on television and speaks to the media daily about the policies of the U.S. government and nobody cares to explain who this person is and how he became senior advisor to President Obama? Who is this senior political advisor to the president who said, quite incorrectly, in June 2009 that Iran had nuclear weapons - on national television? Who is Axelrod to say that Iran will face consequences for failing to submit to the extra-judicial dictates of the so-called "international community," as he did at the end of 2009?
David Axelrod is a Chicago-based media consultant, advertising man, and corporate lobbyist who makes his living by changing public opinion to support his clients, who are primarily political candidates and major corporations. Axelrod is really a paid lobbyist who uses television advertising to change public opinion on behalf of his clients. Because he has two kinds of clients – political candidates and large corporations - Axelrod started two media companies: AKP&D Message and Media for politicians, and ASK Public Strategies for corporations. While all partners at AKP&D (A is for Axelrod, with John Kupper, David Plouffe, and John Del Cecato) held senior positions on the Obama campaign, it wasn't the only campaign AKP&D worked on. AKP&D also provided services to the presidential campaigns of John Edwards and Hillary Clinton.
Creating a positive image to affect public opinion through television ads is one of the basic services Axelrod provides. To do this he writes most of their speeches. Because he has so many politicians as clients, sometimes he re-uses the same speech. When Obama the candidate used the same speech that Deval Patrick or John Edwards had used earlier, it wasn't plagerism – it was simply Obama reading a recycled Axelrod speech.
David Axelrod is described on the White House website as the former "Senior Partner" at AKP&D, who "managed media strategy and communications for more than 150 local, state, and national campaigns, with a focus on progressive candidates and causes."
SourceWatch has information about David Axelrod and his media companies. As a former resident of Cook County who was born and raised in the Chicago area, I can say that the people who Axelrod has helped put into office in Illinois and Chicago are anything but "progressive." Having monitored elections in Cook County, I can say with a high degree of certainty that the Chicago-based political figures that Axelrod has worked with are actually part of a large criminal enterprise.
Why would David Axelrod be involved in promoting candidates who are so easily corrupted? Why is a son of Romanian Jewish immigrants working to promote black candidates in cities and states across the country? Who tells Axelrod who to support and what policies to promote?

David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel run the Obama White House.

Yemen: USA are fighting against democracy, not against Al-Qaeda
INTERVIEW OF MOHAMED HASSAN*
BY GREGOIRE LALIEU & MICHEL COLLON
BY GREGOIRE LALIEU & MICHEL COLLON
A pair of trousers catches fire in an aeroplane close to Detroit and missiles rain down on Yemen. Is this is what is called the butterfly effect? For Mohammed Hassan, the terrorist threat is only an excuse. In this latest chapter in our series "Understanding the Muslim world", our specialist explains what is really at stake in Yemen: i.e. undermining democracy in the Gulf in order to keep control over its oil. Since the failed attack on the Amsterdam-Detroit flight, Yemen has hit the headlines. It's there that the young Nigerian terrorist is supposed to have trained. How could this country, an ally of the US, become of refuge for al-Qaeda?
First of all we must note this phenomenon which is repeating itself: every time that a regime backed by Washington is threatened, then terrorists appear on the scene. In the case of Muslim countries, it's al-Qaeda that gets the blame. This phantom terrorist group always pops up where nationalist or anti-imperialist movements give trouble to puppets supported by the US. That's what's happening now in Yemen. This country is ruled by a corrupt regime that is allied to Washington. But it is threatened by resistance movements.
And lo and behold there appears a young Nigerian who boards a plane destined for Detroit bearing explosives. This presumed terrorist had been placed on surveillance lists from the time his father had warned the US authorities. In addition, the US has at its disposal all the latest military technology. With its satellites it can tell whether you are eating a tuna or chicken sandwich! This terrorism tale is a hodge podge that shows that the situation in Yemen is getting out of hand as far as the US is concerned and that its interests are in danger.
Why has Yemen become so important for Washington?
Yemen's president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, has been in power for 20 years. His regime is corrupt, but aligned politically with the United States. A resistance group in the north of the country and separatists in the south are threatening the stability of the government. If a revolutionary movement overthrows Saleh, that could have an impact over the whole region and give encouragement to the resistance fighting in other pro-imperialist states in the region. In particular, to those fighting the feudal regime of Saudi Arabia.
Moreover, when the fight with the northern resistance broke out in Yemen, the Arab League, under Egyptian leadership, immediately condemned the rebels and gave its support to the Yemeni government. We are still waiting for that League to condemn Israeli aggression against Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. The Gulf Cooperation Council, an organization devoted to western interests, made up of certain oil-producing countries, has also condemned the Yemeni resistance. For the US, which is at the height of recession, their Saudi colony must not be threatened by resistance movements. Saudi Arabia in fact provides a significant proportion of Washington's oil and constitutes a precious ally in the Gulf. If the region becomes unstable, that will have serious economic consequences for the US.
Who are the northern resistance fighters? What are their demands?
In the north of the country, the government has been facing for several years the armed resistance of the Houthis who get their name from the founder of their movement, Hussein Al-Houti. He himself died in battle four years ago and his brother has taken his place. Like the majority of Yemenis in the north, the Houthis are Zaydis. Islam is divided into several trends such as Sunni or Shia. These trends are divided in turn into different branches, Zaydiism being a branch of Shi'ism.
President Saleh is himself a Zaydi, but the Houthis don't recognise his authority. The fact is that Yemen is a very poor country. Its economy depends essentially on an agriculture which is in decline, some oil income, a bit of fishing, as well as international aid and money sent home by expatriates. On top of that, it is only a handful of people in the president's entourage who gets any benefit from the country's riches, while the general population is becoming poorer and poorer. The majority of Yemenis are aged under 30 but they have no hope for the future. Unemployment stood at 40% in 2009. The Houthis have questioned the government to as to the reason for the underdevelopment of the region, the lack of water and for problems of infrastructure. But President Saleh did not respond to their appeals. That is the basis on which the Houthis took up their armed struggle. Their headquarters is the town of Saada. This is most symbolic: it was in that town that more than 10 centuries ago the founder of Yemeni Zaydi'ism was based.
The fighting close to Saada is raging. It has caused several thousand people to become refugees, and the government is accusing Iran of supporting the rebels...
This accusation is false. Iran has a Shia majority, but Yemeni Zaydis, because of the way they pray and for other reasons, are in fact closer to the Sunnis. If the Houthi resistance has enough arms to carry on fighting for the next ten years, it is because it gets help from a part of the Yemeni army. In fact, many soldiers and officers are themselves also Zaydi. The struggles in the region have caused more than 150,000 people to become refugees and Zaydi soldiers can see how their brothers are suffering. Some of them are even joining the resistance.
President Saleh must therefore mobilise opportunist Sunnis in the army in order to combat the northern resistance. This cannot be done with impunity. This Zaydi president, who has already used his religious convictions to mobilize the population and the army, is today calling on Sunnis to defeat other Zaydis. Saleh is set to lose whatever support he had left in the north of the country.
And the south is demanding to secede! The Yemeni president really seems to be in a bad position.It is essential to understand Yemeni history in order to understand what is happening today. In its present form the country came about as a result of the fusion in 1990 of the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, in the south, with the Yemeni Arab Republic in the north. These two states had different histories.
The birth of the north dates back over 10 centuries to the time when Zaydis first arrived in Saada. But in 1962 a revolution broke out aimed at overthrowing the feudal regime and installing a republic. Nasser, the Egyptian president and defender of Arab independence, supported the revolutionary movement. For their part, the US, the UK, Saudi Arabia and the Shah of Iran sent mercenaries to rescue the reactionary elements of the old feudal regime and to weaken Nasser. The conflict resulted in a terrible war in which more than 10,000 Egyptian soldiers lost their lives. Finally, the Republican government was not overthrown, but it was weakened by the conflict. It did not have the means to unleash a cultural revolution or completely to democratize the country, nor to industrialise it. Even though the Imam-king who led the country escaped to Saudi Arabia, a large part of North Yemen remains at the feudal stage.
What about the south?
South Yemen's history is quite different. It was colonized by the British in order to block expansion on the part of the French who had taken over Djibouti and on the part of the Russians who had spread up to central Asia. But it was also a question of the British maintaining their domination of the Persian Gulf and the strategic Straits of Hormuz. It is Great Britain that built the port of Aden in South Yemen. This town became very important for the British empire. One could say it was the Hong Kong or the Macao of the epoch. Many foreigners were sent to the region.
This is what the social pyramid looked like in this colonial society: at the top, the British colonials lorded it, followed by the Somali and Indian communities who acted as a sort of buffer against the lowest category, the Yemenis. It was a classic strategy from the British colonists: using one group of person against another one in order to protect themselves. By the way, all the people that Great-Britain used to see as dangerous for its Indian colony – such as nationalists or communists – were sent in exile in Aden.
As we have seen in Somalia, did these political prisoners influence developments in the region?
Certainly. Independence movements forced out the British colonists in 1967 and the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen was born the following year. It was governed by the Yemeni Socialist Party, which was a coalition of different progressive elements, inheritors in part of Aden's prisoners. You could find there communists, nationalists, liberals, and Ba'athists from Syria or Iraq. All these elements were united under the banner of the Socialist Party.
South Yemen thus became the most progressive Arab state in the region and knew its most flourishing years, with agrarian reform, equality of the sexes, etc. Nevertheless, the socialist party remained a mixture of several elements with diverse origins. The communists were the backbone of the party and gave it a certain amount of cohesion, but every time there was a need to face any major difficulty, the contradictions burst out into the open. Because of a lack of any industrial basis and the petty bourgeois character of the coalition, these contradictions ended up giving rise to assassinations. Members literally killed each other! As a result of this the party underwent three bloody internal revolts. The last one proved fatal. Most of the ideological leaders of the party were assassinated and the liberal wing took charge of the movement. It was therefore a very weak socialist party which was governing Yemen up to the time that the two Yemen were reunified in 1990. Even though both sides had had relatively different histories, the parties of both north and sourth had always supported unfiication of the country in their respective schedule.
Why was it necessary to wait until 1990 before the north and south united?
In the north the state had been very weak after the war. It was led by liberals who lacked any really revolutionary activities and were controlled by the Gulf states, Saudi Arabia in particular. The Saudi neighbour provided arms and money to the feudal class with a view to weakening the central government. For Saudi Arabia a tribal North Yemen was easier to control. The south became, on the contrary, a bastion of progressive ideas. At the height of the Cold War it was considered as an enemy of the region which had to be put in quarantine.
But in the early nineties things had changed. First of all, the Soviet Union had collapsed and the Cold War had ended. On top of that, the Yemeni Socialist Party was no longer much of a threat. Its ideological leaders had been wiped on in the third internal party revolt. For the countries of the region as well as for the strategic interests of the west, the unification of Yemen no longer represented a danger. Ali Abdullah Saleh, who had been president of the Yemeni Arab Republic since 1978, took the leadership of the country. He is still in power today.
In 1990, Yemen was the only country, apart from Cuba, to oppose the Iraq war. 20 years later, while Castro is still holding out against the 'Yankees', Saleh has for his part lined up alongside the US in their war on terror. How can you explain this change?
The opposition to the war in Iraq was not the result of Saleh's policies, but of those of members of the former Yemeni socialist party who occupied various key positions in the new government. Nevertheless, even though the socialist party had always wanted unification of Yemen on a progressive basis, it had been too weakened by its internal revolt to be able to get its policies accepted in their entirety. On top of that, Saudi Arabia, a faithful ally of the US, made Yemen pay dearly for its position against the Iraq war. The Saudi regime expelled a million Yemeni workers who had enjoyed a special status entitling them to work on the other side of the frontier. This caused a severe economic crisis in Yemen, while at the same time sending a strong message to President Saleh. The latter revised his policy, becoming gradually the puppet of US imperialism that we know today.
And the southern progressives let him do?
Reunification was a big letdown for the southern leaders. They launched themselves into the process without a proper strategy. And, as we have seen, the Socialist Party was very weak. The centre of power gravitated in the north around President Saleh. The regime was corrupt, the expulsion of the Yemenis working in Saudi Arabia had created a major crisis and the economic situation was deteriorating.
All these factors led to the south demanding to secede in 1994. The separatists were supported by Saudi Arabia, which preferred its neighbour to be weak and divided, for various reasons. Firstly, because of the contradictions it had with its neighbour as to the course of the Saudi-Yemeni border: Yemen was in fact claiming certain areas situated in Saudi Arabia. Secondly, because a united Yemen with good leadership could cause problems for the feudal classes in Gulf states such as Saudi Arabia.
These tensions between north and south finally led to war. The Zaydi president mobilized the people of the north and the greater party of the army on the basis of their religious beliefs to fight against the Sunni-majority south. The separatists were beaten, which weakened still further the former members of the Socialist Party within the Yemeni government. This war finally offered the north, and Saleh, an opportunity to remove their dominant influence over military and political questions.
Fifteen years later, the south is again demanding separation. Do you think that president Saleh will be able to get away with it again?
Obviously, no. Saleh is facing problems at every turn. The south is demanding again a fair share of power after the corrupt government to all intents and purposes has restored the feudal order. For the southern Yemenis, who have a progressive history, this situation is unacceptable. And it isn't acceptable either for the Houthis in the north. In this case, President Saleh is unable to mobilise most of the population and army on the basis of their religioius beliefs. The Houthis are Zaydis too! The Houthi resistance has exposed the real policies of this government in a way no other strategy could have achieved in so short a time. The population is discovering what is really happening and discontent is growing stronger and stronger.
What are the reasons for the anger of the Yemeni people?
First and foremost, the social and economic situation. The regime has wealth while the people get poorer and poorer. There is also the fact that Yemen has become a bastion of US imperialism and Saleh had lined up alongside Washington in the war on terror. The Yemenis can see what is happening in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq. For them it is a war against Muslims. Barack Hussein Obama may have a Muslim name and make all the speeches he likes, there are no other words to define this war.
On top of that, the Yemeni government is not even able to protect its citizens. After the September 11 attacks, some of them have been kidnapped and removed for no reason. This happened to an eminent Yemeni religious leader. When he was in the US visiting his son, he was arrested and sent to Guantánamo for no valid reason. After 6 years in detention, he was finally released. But he died three weeks later, because he became sick as a result of his imprisonment. This war on terror is really not accepted by the Yemeni people.
Finally, Saleh recognised the disputed frontier claimed by Saudi Arabia. He also authorised Saudi bombers to raid the region where the Houthi rebels are established. For the Yemenis this situation is unacceptable. Saleh is on an ejection seat. That is why he needs the support of the US which is raising the spectre of al Qaeda to be able to do what it likes in the country.
After Afghanistan and Iraq, is Yemen going to be the US's third front?
I think it already is. The US army has already sent missiles and special troops. It equally supplies a great deal of materiel to Yemen, but a good proportion of this goes over to the hands of the resistance because of the links the Zaydis have with the Yemeni army. It is six months since Saleh launched a major offensive against the Houthis. He has called for reinforcements from the Saudi Arabian and US armies. It wouldn't surprise me if Israel were soon to join the party. But in spite of everything, they are unable to overcome the Houthi resistance. The latter operates from a mountainous region, as do the Taliban. We know how difficult it is to combat rebels in such a terrain. Moreover, the Houthis have the arms to carry on fighting for a long time to come.
Is the US facing another defeat?
History does seem to repeat itself as far as the US is concerned. For all that this country is today led by a former Muslim, its policies have not changed. Obama's speeches are a lot like George Bush's: he promises to hunt down terrorists wherever they might be. Washington raises the spectre of al-Qaeda to fight rebels ensconced in Yemen's mountains? Bush did the same thing more than 8 years ago with regard to Afghanistan, and that war is still not over.
The thing is to know how long this is going to carry on. The historian Paul Kennedy has shown that the gap between the economic basis and military expansion was one of the principal factors in the decline of great empires. If the economy of a big power is running out of steam but its military expenses are increasing, this great power is condemned to fade and become very weak. That is the situation with the US today.

Welcoming the Taliban with open arms: Defectors and deception in Afghanistan
By Douglas Valentine
Last week the U.S. Government began floating the idea of welcoming low and mid-level Taliban defectors into its war on terror against Al Qaeda. After waging an eight-year “dirty war” against the Taliban, U.S. military commanders and politicians are publicly acknowledging their “insurgent” enemy is actually part of the “fabric” of Afghan society.
U.S. and NATO officials are also offering bribes from a billion dollar “Peace and Reintegration Trust Fund”to Taliban fighters to defect.
Taliban leaders have condemned the buyout strategy as a “trick” to divide and conquer its forces, and said that offers of reconciliation were futile without a withdrawal of foreign troops.
This billion-dollar buyout may, indeed, seem a bizarre reversal of fortunes, but only if one believes the U.S. genuinely wants reconciliation with the Taliban. In reality, defectors programs like the one proposed for Afghanistan are an essential part of the traditional U.S.
Make no mistake about it: this too is propaganda. Defector “amnesty” or “clemency” or “open arms” programs are aggressive CIA intelligence operations and have nothing to do with reconciliation.
As former DCI William Colby told me, CIA political action teams in Vietnam (like Provincial Reconstruction Teams in Afghanistan) employed defectors whose job was to “go around the countryside and indicate to the people that they used to be Vietcong and that the government has received them and taken them in, and that the Chieu Hoi program does exist as a way of VC currently on the other side to rally. [Defectors] contact people like the families of known VC,” Colby said, “and provide them with transportation to defector and refugee centers.”
Master spy Colby would certainly agree that information management -- language -- is the essence of political warfare in general and defector programs in particular. The first step in either case is concocting a slogan that appeals to the sensibilities of the targeted audience, which is why defectors programs are given names like “amnesty” or “clemency” or “open arms.”
Such cleverly crafted slogans need have no basis in reality. Instead, by appealing to American (not Vietnamese or Afghan) sensibilities (or lack thereof), these slogans serve as the first step in creating deniability for the CIA’s roll in organizing repression.
During Senate hearings into CIA assassination plots against foreign leaders, deniability was defined by the CIA’s deputy director of operations, Richard Bissell, as “the use of circumlocution and euphemism in discussions where precise definitions would expose covert actions and bring them to an end.”
Apart from using circumlocution and euphemism, and Madison Avenue style slogans, the CIA creates deniability, and thus garners public approval, by composing and planting distorted articles in foreign and domestic newspapers. It also composes “official” communiqués which appear to have originated within, for example, the Karzai government in Afghanistan.
To ensure the deniability necessary for public support of its repressive policies, the CIA conducts covert action under cover of Civic Action programs that are advertised as fostering freedom, patriotism, brotherhood, democracy.
Likewise, the Taliban defector buyout program is said to foster reconciliation.
In CIA jargon this manipulation of language is called “black propaganda” and is the job of political and psychological (PP) warfare officers in the covert action branch. “PP” officers played a major role in packaging the Phoenix Program for sale to the American public as a program designed “to protect the people from terrorism.”“
CIA disinformation campaigns persuade predisposed Americans to offer their tax dollars to pay for the massive military and aid programs that support the CIA’s covert action programs. The proposed billion dollar Taliban defector program is just such a case.
Intelligence potential
After arranging for deniability, the CIA will launch a covert action program like the Taliban defector program only if it has “intelligence potential.” Such a program must be able to produce information on an enemy’s political, military, and economic infrastructure or it will not be undertaken. The CIA after all, is not a “reconciliation” agency.
And defectors have superlative “intelligence potential.”
Not only are defectors valued for their ability to sap the enemy’s fighting strength and morale, but having worked on the inside, they are an accurate and timely source of intelligence on enemy unit strength and location. They also serve as guides and trackers, and after defecting, many are immediately returned to their area of operations with a reaction force to locate hidden enemy arms or food caches.
Others defectors, after being screened and interrogated by security officers, are turned into double agents. Defectors who return to their former positions inside enemy military units or political organizations are, as Colby explained, provided with a “secure” means of contacting their CIA case officer, to whom they feed information leading to the arrest or ambush of enemy cadres, soldiers, and secret agents.
Defector programs also provide CIA “talent scouts” with cover for recruiting criminals into counter-terrorist and political action programs. Burglars, arsonists, forgers, and smugglers have unique skills and no compunctions about preparing wanted posters or conducting interrogations.
In Vietnam, the entire Fifty-second Ranger Battalion was recruited from Saigon prisons.
With Obama’s surge and additional NATO forces providing cover for more expansive CIA covert actions, CIA political and psychological warfare experts are moving to the forefront of the occupation; and of course, their Provincial Reconstruction Teams are, as noted in a previous article, at the forefront of this “intelligence” surge. That is why the Taliban defector buyout program is being launched now.
Let me repeat: what makes such an intelligence operation “covert” is not any false impression on the part of the Taliban, but rather the CIA’s ability to deny its involvement in the defector buyout program to the American public.
A case study
Under cover of Civic Action, the CIA is waging a plausibly deniable dirty war against the Taliban using black propaganda, defectors, criminals, selective terror, indefinite detention and a slew of other devious tactics disguised as bringing freedom and democracy, but in fact designed to provide internal security for the puppet Karzai regime.
The CIA perfected this practice in Vietnam, where it waged clandestine political and psychological warfare with the U.S. Information Service (USIS).
Ostensibly the overseas branch of the U.S. Information Agency (which performed the same propaganda and censorship functions inside America), the USIS had as its raison d’être promotion of the “American way.” In its crusade to convert the world into one big happy Chamber of Commerce, the USIS employed all manner of “media,” from TVs, radios, and satellites to armed propaganda teams, wanted posters, and terrorism.
Frank Scotton, a CIA officer masquerading as an USIS officer, played a large role in political and psychological operations (psyops) in Vietnam. A graduate of American University’s College of International Relations, Scotton received a government graduate assistantship to the East-West Center at the University of Hawaii.
According to legendary CIA officer Lucien Conein, it was there that Scotton was recruited into the CIA.
About the CIA-sponsored East-West Center, Scotton said, “It was a cover for a training program in which Southeast Asians were brought to Hawaii and trained to go back to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos to create agent nets.” After passing the Foreign Service exam, Scotton was persuaded to join the USIS, which “dealt with people,” unlike the State Department, which “observed from a distance.
After arriving in Vietnam in 1961, and initiating his vast agent net, Scotton turned his attention to “energizing” the Vietnamese through political action that advanced American policies.
In looking for individuals to mold into unilateral political cadres, Scotton turned to the CIA’s defector program, which in April 1963 was placed under cover of the Agency for International Development and named the Chieu Hoi (Open Arms) amnesty program.
There Scotton found the raw material he needed to prove the viability of CIA political action and psywar programs. Scotton worked with Vietnamese Special Forces Captain Nguyen Tuy (a graduate of Fort Bragg’s Special Warfare Center who commanded the Fourth Special Operations Detachment) and Tuy’s case officer, U.S. Special Forces Captain Howard Walters in Pleiku Province.
As part of a pilot program designed to induce defectors, Scotton, Walters, and Tuy set up an ambush deep in Vietcong territory and waited till dark. When they spotted a VC unit, Scotton yelled in Vietnamese through a bullhorn, “You are being misled! You are being lied to! We promise you an education!” Then, full of purpose and allegory, he shot a flare into the night sky and hollered, “Walk toward the light!”
To his surprise, two defectors did walk in, convincing him and his CIA bosses that “a determined GVN unit could contest the VC in terms of combat and propaganda.”
Back in camp, Scotton told the VC defectors that they had to divest themselves of untruths. “We said that certainly the U.S. perpetrated war crimes, but so did the VC [substitute Taliban]. We acknowledged that theirs was the stronger force, but that didn’t mean that everything they did was honorable and good and just.” In this manner, Scotton indoctrinated cadres for his political action teams.
The chief of CIA covert action programs, Tom Donohue, recognized the value of intelligence obtained through defectors, and authorized the establishment of Chieu Hoi programs in each of South Vietnam’s provinces. In typical CIA style, there was nothing in writing, and nothing went through the central government.
The CIA’s security officer would oversee the Chieu Hoi Program in any particular province and select different defectors for different jobs, working with agents at the district level and into the villages.
If a defector had potential, the province security officer put him on an airplane and sent him to the central CIA re-indoctrination center, where he was plied with special attention and wowed with CIA gadgetry. The food was spectacular, full of protein, and the bullets weren’t flying. The training was vigorous, but the defector was treated for infections and put on weight. Other defectors then explained the beauty of the American Way, and other applicable lessons of the day.
This brainwashing is “precisely” what political warfare is all about: Having been selected into a “special” program and given “special” treatment, defectors are taught the corporate sales pitch, cross-trained as interchangeable parts for efficiency, then given one last motivational booster shot of schmaltz.
Scotton called his program “motivational indoctrination.”
This is deadly serious business, and conducted secretly at high security CIA bases in Afghanistan. All defector debriefing reports are certainly sent to the CIA station in Kabul for analysis and collation. Translations are, typically, never considered accurate unless read and confirmed in the original language by the same person, but that rarely happens. Likewise, interrogations conducted through defectors are rarely considered reliable, for significant information is generally lost or misrepresented. And thus, the defector program will likely be exploited by Taliban secret agents, just as the Chieu Hoi program was penetrated in Vietnam.
According to Douglas McCollum, who monitored the Chieu Hoi program in three provinces in Vietnam, “It was the biggest hole in the net. They’d come in; we’d hold them, feed them, clothe them, get them a mat. Then we’d release them, and they’d wander around the city for a while, and then disappear.”
What McCollom is referring to, “the revolving door syndrome,” is another reason the CIA is turning to the Taliban buyout program at this particular time, when Obama’s surge will produce thousands of more detainees and prisoners.
The CIA was plagued in Vietnam, as it is in Afghanistan, by overcrowding in prisons, defector, interrogation, and detention center. In Vietnam by 1966 there was little space available in the prison system for actual “Communist offenders.” And as more and more people were captured and placed in pens, a large percentage was necessarily squeezed out. Hence the revolving door.
Defectors and the Phoenix Program
In June 1967, the CIA’s Chieu Hoi defector program was incorporated within its newly established Phoenix Program, as it was organized by CIA officer Nelson Brickham, who appreciated Chieu Hoi as “one of the few areas where police and paramilitary advisers cooperated.”
The Phoenix program was designed to coordinate all intelligence programs in South Vietnam so thee CIA could more identify and neutralize Viet Cong political cadre. As Brickham said, “My motto was to recruit them; if you can’t recruit them, defect them (that’s Chieu Hoi); if you can’t defect them, capture them; if you can’t capture them, kill them.”
Brickham also emphasized that Chieu Hoi was a means for the CIA to develop “unilateral penetrations unknown to the [South Vietnamese] police.”
In other words, the Taliban defector buyout program will be conducted unilaterally by the CIA, apart from the Karzai government.
From 1967 onwards, all “rallied” VC cadre were included in Phoenix neutralization statistics, and by 1969 more than a hundred thousand defectors had been processed through 51 Chieu Hoi centers. The Chieu Hoi program was managed from 1966 until March 1969 by Ogden Williams, and then by Eugene P. Bable, a career CIA officer who had served in the Flying Tigers.
The Phoenix Program sought to resolve the “revolving door syndrome” by arranging through the SIDE (Screening, Interrogation and Detention of the Enemy) Program the construction of permanent detention facilities; a registration system coordinated with Chieu Hoi programs; and judicial reform aimed at the rapid disposal of pending cases, as devised by Robert Harper, a lawyer on contract to the CIA.
Through Phoenix, the CIA also began a policy of offering Chieu Hoi status to informers.
From the language of the Phoenix reports, one could easily think that the Chieu Hoi program was a great success. But many Chieu Hoi defectors simply regurgitated the American line in order to win amnesty, make a quick visit to their families, enjoy a few home-cooked meals, and then return to the war for independence, fat and rested.
Legitimate Chieu Hoi defectors were pariahs who were not accepted back in their villages.
Jim Ward, the senior CIA officer in charge of Phoenix in the Delta (1967-1969) described Chieu Hoi as “a great program. Well done.”
Ward explained that most Chieu Hoi advisers were from the U.S. Information Service, although some were State Department or military officers. “
Ward describes the defection process as follows: Upon arriving at the Chieu Hoi center, the defector was “interviewed” and, if he had information on the VCI, was sent to the CIA’s Province Interrogation Center; if he had tactical military information, he was sent to military interrogators.
Next came political indoctrination, lasting from 40-60 days, depending on the individual. “They had a formal course,” said Ward. “They were shown movies and given lectures on democracy.” Upon graduation each was given an ID card, a meal, some money, and a chance to repent. Political indoctrination was handled by defectors who said they had been well treated by the Americans and had decided it was better to live for a free Vietnam than to die for the totalitarian North Vietnamese.
“Chieu Hoi had lots of guys who had been with the enemy before,” Ward continued, “who knew how to talk to these people and would persuade them to join the Territorial Forces or the PRU.” Others joined armed propaganda teams, which went back into VC territory to contact Vietcong families and recruit more Vietcong defectors.
“The great thing about the Chieu Hoi program,” Ward noted, “is that we didn’t have to put people in jails or process them through the judicial system, which was already overcrowded.
Political and Psychological Warfare
Despite his praise for the Chieu Hoi program, Ward said that “Americans should have been targeted only against the North Vietnamese and left the South Vietnamese forces to handle the insurgency,” even though such a strategy would have precluded Phoenix.
The same lesson applies in Afghanistan. The U.S. has no legitimate reason to be there, and thus it must rely on psychological ploys, rather than any appeal to nationalism, to win the Afghanis over to the American Way of doing things.
That is how High Value Reward and bounty programs become business as usual. That is why the U.S. is instituting a defector program, with a publicity campaign managed in the field by psyops teams replete with radios, leaflets, posters, banners, TV shows, movies, comic books falling from planes, and loudspeakers mounted on trucks to spread the word.
On January 22, 1970, thirty-eight thousand of these leaflets were dropped over three villages in Go Vap District. Addressed to specific VCI members, they read: “Since you have joined the NLF, what have you done for your family or your village and hamlet? Or have you just broken up the happiness of many families and destroyed houses and land? Some people among you have been awakened recently, they have deserted the Communist ranks and were received by the GVN and the people with open arms and family affection. You should be ready for the end if you remain in the Communist ranks. You will be dealing with difficulties bigger from day to day and will suffer serious failure when the ARVN expand strongly. You had better return to your family where you will be guaranteed safety and helped to establish a new life. “
This is how defectors will be created in Afghanistan as well. Psyops leaflets aimed at creating defectors will portray the Taliban as a socially disruptive force that can only be stopped by America.
But Americans can only reach the Afghan “people” through “media” like leaflets and loudspeakers -- an indication of just how far removed the CIA is from the reality of life in Afghanistan’s rural villages.
And while the CIA relies on cartoons to sell itself, the Taliban go from person to person, proving that technology was no substitute for human contact. Ultimately the U.S. was defeated in Vietnam for just this reason.
The Taliban defector buyout program heralds just such a development in Afghanistan -- defeat -- and nothing more.

Britain’s Jewish Chronicle warns Gordon Brown: change UK law to accommodate Israeli war criminals or you are finished
How long will it take before the British people say no to Israeli and Zionist infiltration of their politics, laws and values?
By Gilad Atzmon
31 January 2010
Gilad Atzmon comments on an editorial in Britain’s top Zionist newspaper in which the paper’s editor, Stephen Pollard, and its chief political editor, Martin Bright, appeared to be threatening British Prime Minister Gordon Brown with electoral defeat unless he restricts the application of universal jurisdiction to ensure that suspected Israeli war criminals can travel to the UK without risk of prosecution.
”In plain language the Jewish Chronicle is suggesting that Gordon Brown, as far as the Jews are concerned, is basically finished. I wonder how long it will take for the British people to wake up and say enough is enough? How long will it take before they say NO to Israeli and Zionist infiltration of their politics, laws and values?”
Britain’s Jewish Chronicle is apparently stupid enough to unveil the ferocity of Zionist lobbying within the British government and its corridors of power. The Jewish newspaper is happy to outline the relentless measures that are being taken by Jewish lobbyists in order to Zionize the British legal system and the values underlying it.
One can assume the supporters of Israel in Britain are anything but happy with Britain’s magistrates being able to implement universal jurisdiction laws – laws that allow local magistrates to issue arrest warrants for high profile foreign visitors accused of war crimes. The rabid Zionist Jewish Chronicle is obviously outraged because universal jurisdiction puts most of the Israeli political and military echelon at severe risk. Last month former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livini cancelled her visit to Britain over fears that arrest warrants would be issued in connection with accusations of war crimes under laws of universal jurisdiction.

Last month former Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livini cancelled her visit to Britain over fears that arrest warrants would be issued in connection with accusations of war crimes under laws of universal jurisdiction.
Surely, universal jurisdiction is not a bad thing. It is actually an ethically-based idea that is there to prevent world leaders from abusing their powers and committing crimes against humanity. It is also there to prosecute war criminals and to stop them from celebrating their crimes. Yet, it is not very surprising that the only political lobby in Britain that acts against such a set of universal laws is the Zionist lobby.
While in the past Zionist activists tried to hide their conspiratorial actions, Jewish Chronicle political editor Martin Bright and chief editor Stephen Pollard are providing us with a glimpse into the relentless Jewish political activity here. “Will the government ever act?” they ask in their latest editorial, as if the British government has to act in order to satisfy the Zionist will.
Interestingly enough, the Jewish Chronicle editors do not offer a single ideological, ethical or legal argument to suggest that universal jurisdiction is wrong, except that it is not good for the Jews or Israel.
The Jewish Chronicle is rather outraged with Justice Secretary Jack Straw who apparently fails to bow to Israeli pressure. Considering that Jack Straw is of Jewish descent, the Jewish Chronicle must believe that it is entitled to use some measures to put him in the line of fire. Despite the fact that Straw is known in Britain for his notorious call for Muslim women to remove their veils and also as a backer of the illegal invasion of Iraq. The Jewish Chronicle blames him for being too friendly with Muslims. “Mr Straw is known to be highly sensitive to the views of his Muslim constituents in Blackburn and is close to the Muslim Council of Britain, which opposes a change to the law.”
The Jewish Chronicle should have also accepted the fact that, bearing in mind Straw’s Jewish origin, it is just natural for him to be reluctant to initiate a change in British law solely to serve Israeli interests and in total opposition to every universal and ethical value.
According to the Jewish Chronicle, the Jews of Britain should not be too worried. The shadow Middle East minister, David Lidington, is already in their pockets. ”This has to be sorted and quickly”, says the shadow man. “It is very clear to me that this issue is doing serious damage to relations with Israel.”

The Jewish Chronicle also assures its Zionist readers that they have a man within the government who is working hard to serve their interests willingly and even enthusiastically. David Miliband, the British foreign secretary who is also listed as an “Israeli propaganda [Hasbara] author” on an official Israeli propaganda website already announced his intention to change the law late last year. According to the Jewish Chronicle, he is “pushing hard within Whitehall for a solution”. Earlier this month, says the Jewish Chronicle, “the Foreign Office briefed that an announcement of the law change was imminent”. I wouldn’t except less from a listed “Hasbara author”.
But the Jewish Chronicle is taking it even further. In its editorial, it says it is “Crystal clear who is to blame,” referring to Justice Secretary Straw and Prime Minister Gordon Brown
“The time for excuses is over,” says the paper. “For weeks the government has been giving every possible off-the-record promise that it would change the law on universal jurisdiction. No longer would unsuitable magistrates be able to issue warrants for the arrest of some of our closest allies.” One may wonder why exactly “on the record” genocidal murderers such as Livni, Ehud Barak or Ehud Olmert should be considered as “Britain closest allies”. In fact, these people are primary enemies of humanity and as such they are also enemies of Britain and any other nation.
Seemingly, the Jewish Chronicle, doesn’t just speak on behalf of its editors. For some reason it prefers to speak in the name of the “Jewish community”. “Mr Straw must take the Jewish community for mugs if he thinks his behaviour is not transparent.” The only possible interpretation of this statement is that British Jewry wants Britain to give up on universal Jurisdiction just to appease its Zionists.
In case Prime Minister Brown is slightly confused and doesn’t know how to react, the Jewish Chronicle tells him how he should run Britain just to keep the Jewish community happy. “As for the prime minister: all he has ever needed to do is make clear that he backs Mr Miliband, and the issue would have been over”. Considering Miliband is a listed “Israeli propaganda author”, the message here is clear: Britain had better start to work for Israel and even change its laws accordingly so it can easily comply with Israel’s unethical conduct.
Britain is heading towards election, and the Jewish Chronicle is advising Prime Minister Brown that he is about to pay the ultimate political price for his unwillingness to succumb to the Zionist will. “That he [Brown] has done precisely nothing since promising action speaks volumes about his own bona fides. If – and now it looks like when – the deadline for action passes and nothing is done, it will be crystal clear who is to blame.”

UK war criminals will be prosecuted in 2010, israeli puppets Blair, Brown, Straw. Watch out ! Israel terror operations in the UK !
Chilcot War Inquiry: Professor to launch 'Nuremberg' war crimes prosecution against Blair
By Glen Owen
January 31, 2010
Plans to bring a war crimes prosecution against Tony Blair based on last week’s bombshell evidence to the Chilcot Inquiry have been launched by a leading law professor.
The move could see Mr Blair follow former Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic into a dock in The Hague.
Professor Bill Bowring says the revelation that the Government rejected Foreign Office warnings not to invade Iraq means there is a good chance Mr Blair can be 'investigated, at the very least’ for war crimes.
'We now know that the Government was explicitly warned beforehand that the UK risked being prosecuted for going to war,’ said Prof Bowring.
Professor Bowring has launched plans to bring a war crimes prosecution against Tony Blair
He says that he will deploy the same law used to convict the killers of Garry Newlove, the Cheshire father of three kicked to death in front of his family in 2007, and Nazis at the Nuremberg Trials in 1945-46.
He is drafting a submission to the International Criminal Court (ICC) arguing that Mr Blair is guilty under the law of 'joint enterprise’, which holds people responsible for the actions of a wider group if they know they are involved in criminal enterprises.
It means the former Prime Minister would be liable for any crimes committed by US forces, such as disproportionate bombing.
On Tuesday, Sir Michael Wood, the chief legal adviser to the Foreign Office from 2001 to 2006, said he warned the then Foreign Secretary Jack Straw that invading Iraq without UN backing would 'amount to the crime of aggression’ and could lead
to the prosecution of British soldiers and politicians. Mr Straw rejected the warning.
Prof Bowring said the April 2002 meeting between Mr Blair and George Bush at the President’s Texas ranch, described as the moment the agreement to invade was 'signed in blood’, would be critical in the case.
'Joint enterprise’ was used to convict the killers of Mr Newlove in 2008. Though one kick killed Mr Newlove, three men were convicted of his murder because they were aware they were engaged in joint criminality.
The ICC’s chief prosecutor has said that he could 'envisage’ a situation in which Mr Blair found himself in the dock.
An ICC spokeswoman said that the mandate of the chief prosecutor’s office covered the conduct of Allied forces in the war, but would not comment on Prof Bowring’s specific legal argument.

Video: Islamic Resistance of Palestine kill two zionist terrorists in Gaza clashes
The military wing of Hamas publicized on Wednesday its documentation of the Gaza clashes last Friday, wherein two Israel Defense Soldiers were killed.
An article in the website of the Iz al-Din al-Qassam Brigade, Hamas’s military wing, describes the escalation of events in the Gaza incident and provides video documentation.
n the events on Friday, Maj. Eliraz Peretz and Staff Sgt. Ilan Sviatkovsky were killed in the Gaza Strip while pursuing a group of Palestinian militants trying to lay mines near the border fence. Two other soldiers were injured in the incident, and two militants were killed.
The Hamas website says that in the video, it is possible to see “the Special Forces (IDF soldiers) crossing outside the border area and then seen advancing westward. The forces get injured by Iz al-Din al-Qassam forces and then rescue forces come and evacuate the killed and injured soldiers.”
The military wing of Hamas, the Iz al-Din al-Qassam Brigade, announced on Friday that it was responsible for the killing of the two IDF soldiers and injuring two others.
In a Hamas news conference, the spokesperson for the military wing of Hamas, Abu Obeida, said that a Hamas sniper succeeded in striking two Israeli soldiers. Abu Obeida said that “the act is dedicated to the Palestinian nation, to the jailed prisoners and in honor of shahid Mahmoud al-Mabhouh.”

A very convenient attack blamed on Muslims but has the stench of a False Flag
The news media says two 'Muslim' women were suicide bombers. Russian Zionist Jewish Mafia controlling FSB explained that these Chechnya Muslims were supplied by Iran.This has the stench of the Mossad, very similar to their False Flag on the Madrid train, or the London bus bombing. Putin must support Israel and block the release of the S400 to Iran through the Caucasus or Netanyahu will bring terror over all the motherland ! That's the message !
Double Martyr operation killed or wounded at least 35 puppet policemen in Dagestan
Publication time: Today at 11:02 Emirate time
As reported by Russian terrorists media outlets, at least 12 puppet policemen, including their commander in the rank of a colonel and a police investigator, have been killed Kizlyar in two martyr bomb attacks in the Dagestani town of Kizlyar at 8:42 a.m. local time on Wednesday, March 31, 2010.23 puppet policemen have been wounded in two blasts, the Russian terrorists report.
Other Russian sources say that there are scores of injured and that they are being delivered to hospitals.
One martyr bomber, a driver in a parked car, waited for a police car leaving the police headquarters and attacked it in the blast. The other martyr, a pedestrian in the uniform of a police senior lieutenant, blew himself up 20 minutes later when other policemen arrived to the site of the first blast. A crater of 6 meters wide and 2 meter deep formed at the site of the explosion.
It is to be mentioned that the Russians always reduce the real figures of fatalities and casualties of their puppets.

Des sources palestiniennes ont déclaré que les autorités de l'occupation ont interdit aux croyants palestiniens, de faire la prière dans la mosquée sainte d'el-Ibrahimi, à partir de l'aube de mercredi 31/3 et jusqu'à l'aube de vendredi prochain, au moment où elles ouvrent toute la mosquée devant les colons sionistes pour célébrer la fête de pâque juive.
Des organisations sionistes ont appelé les colons sionistes à participer aux festivals organisés dans la mosquée d'el Ibrahimi, durant les deux jours prochains, pour exercer leurs rites.
On note que les forces occupantes vont empêcher également l'appel à la prière durant les deux jours prochains dans cette mosquée.
De grandes forces sionistes ainsi que les éléments des gardes-frontières se déploient dans la vieille ville d'el Khalil et aux entrées de la mosquée sainte d'el-Aqsa, ainsi que ses alentours et les routes reliant entre les colonies qui encadrent la ville d'el Qods.

Le Hamas n’a qu’une seule stratégie (1)
|

Dr. Azzam At-Tamimi
Les élections du Conseil Législatif Palestinien de 2006 sont différentes de celles de 1996. En particulier, en 2006, l’accord qui était la base de l’autorité et de ses institutions avait reçu un coup mortel de la part de l’ancien premier ministre israélien Ariel Sharon.
La direction du mouvement du Hamas n’a pu bien estimer que la participation du mouvement aux élections, les premières comme les dernières, donne une sorte de légitimité à cette autorité que les Israéliens ont vidée de tous sens. Ces derniers ont décidé d’encercler et ensuite de tuer leur partenaire dans les négociations de paix Yasser Arafat. Puis, ils ont décidé de se retirer, unilatéralement et sans aucun arrangement, de la bande de Gaza qui les avait épuisés. Sans une petite minorité, le mouvement du Hamas ne s’attendait à la position internationale face aux résultats des élections.
Probablement, les élections desquelles le mouvement du Hamas est sorti vainqueur représentaient une occasion en or et sans précédent pour réorganiser la maison intérieure palestinienne, croyaient quelques-uns dont moi-même. On croyait que cette maison serait en mesure de travailler avec la communauté internationale qui travaille toujours au profit de l’Entité sioniste. Mais dès que la victoire du Hamas avait été déclarée, on a commencé à imposer les conditions du Quartette, des conditions ficelées par l’ancien premier ministre israélien Ehud Olmert. Ainsi, un siège total a été imposé sur le Hamas et sur la société palestinienne qui lui avait donné sa confiance.
En attendant que le mouvement déclare sa soumission, le blocus a été mis en place. Le premier qui a béni cette position internationale était Mahmoud Abbas. Le mouvement du Fatah, l’OLP et l’autorité palestinienne ont pris la même position que celle du Quartette. Ainsi, le Hamas s’est retrouvé obligé de composer le premier cabinet d’après les élections tout seul, sans la participation d’autres factions. Les autres forces, autres que le Hamas, ont commencé à s’occuper à faire tomber ce cabinet, à provoquer des guerres civiles. Tout était bon pour convaincre le Hamas qu’il fallait qu’il se soumette aux leaders de la communauté internationale et aux dirigeants arabes.
Et lorsque tout cela n’a rien donné, le mouvement du Fatah a joué avec le dossier des captifs. Il a demandé au Hamas de signer un document les concernant. Par ce document, le Fatah a voulu convaincre la communauté internationale que le Hamas était rentré dans le rang et qu’il fallait lever, même partiellement, le blocus imposé sur les Palestiniens de manière collective. Mais en vain, on veut la tête du Hamas.
Accepter le document des captifs, transformé plus tard en document d’entente nationale, a modifié la ligne droite du Hamas. Désormais, il accepte un Etat palestinien dans les frontières de 1967. Cette position a été renforcée lors de l’accord signé entre le Fatah et le Hamas à la Mecque, sous une égide saoudienne. Ils se sont mis accord pour constituer un gouvernement d’unité nationale.
Mahmoud Abbas, en tant que président de l’autorité et de l’OLP, devait profiter du changement de discours du Hamas pour tenter, avec ses partenaires israéliens et américains, de donner jour à l’Etat palestinien.
Toutefois, les travaux du général Dayton n’ont fait que briser l’union nationale. Mais pas seulement. La rivalité entre les deux mouvements s’est transformée en une inimitié explicite. Les forces de sécurité préventive se sont mises à pratiquer des actes de provocation. Le Hamas n’a eu d’autre choix que de mettre un terme à cela, militairement. Et en Cisjordanie, le Hamas, ses membres, ses sympathisants et ses institutions sont l’objet d’un déracinement. Cependant, les négociations d’Abbas avec Olmert, jusqu’à l’arrivée de Netanyahu, n’ont rien donné, à part quelques embrassades et beaucoup de colonies.
Bien que le Hamas n’ait pas laissé tomber ses principes et son regard sur le conflit, le changement de son discours, à cause de la politique et de l’accord des captifs et celui de la Mecque, a un peu altéré sa réputation. En effet, beaucoup de Palestiniens et de sympathisants de la cause palestinienne partout dans le monde voyaient dans le Hamas une alternative au mouvement du Fatah qui a laissé tomber la lutte armée au profit des négociations, qui a laissé tomber le rêve palestinien pour lequel il est né au Koweït en 1957.

Western Zionist Jewish Mafia with Russian Jewish Mafia still have enough power to block delivery of S400 through the Caucasus to Iran
The only responsible people of the genocide of Chechens are the Western Zionist Jewish Mafia and Russian Jewish Mafia, inside Russian government. Putin is a war criminal because he knows that Russian Jewish Mafia and her huge terror networks in old Khazaria are behind the war in the Caucasus since the beginning, and their desire to offer US-UK-Israel gaz, oil control of distribution and selling through Asia and Europe. If Russian jewish mafia is capable of blocking the delivery of weapons to Iran through Caucasus, then Putin is held by someone, somewhere !
Why war criminal Putin is supporting the israelis over the implementation of a new world currency ? More than 250 000 Chechens were slaughtered in the Caucasus, hundreds of thousands wounded, tortured, raped in a dirty war. Why Putin is not accusing the real brain masters and not cleaning his 'security services' and 'his government' from massive corruption, because claiming victory over innocents is much more easier than taking his responsibility. What is the difference between Berlusconi and Putin ? There is no difference, they are both owned by the zionist jewish mafia !
"Bibi" Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, is a disciple of Ze'ev Jabotinsky, the founder of the most radical, racist, and militant form of Zionism. Jabotinsky was the Zionist who called for an "Iron Wall" to be built in Palestine. The West should know that there can be no appeasement with such fanatics who are devoted to an ideology of Jewish supremacism and Greater Israel. The fact that the U.S. and the international community have now clearly condemned illegal Israeli settlements is piling pressure on Netanyahu and his government of extremists. The crucial question now is how will Netanyahu respond to this pressure? This is a dangerous situation because Zionist zealots, when pressed to make compromises for peace, usually react with violence and terrorism.

Netanyahu and George Mitchell, U.S. Special Envoy in the Middle East
As the Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported in 2009, the Obama administration knows very well that Netanyahu is "a liar and a cheat":
Ehud Barak (left) and Benjamin Netanyahu were at the White House on March 23 for two secret meetings with President Barack Obama and his senior staff. These men are the two highest-level suspects of the false-flag terrorism of 9-11. They should both be arrested for war crimes and crimes of terrorism. Why is Obama meeting with the Israeli terrorists who carried out 9-11? This is clearly a difficult issue where the people have to lead their governments. Public protests should meet the arrival of these terrorists in every nation they visit and shame them as the real culprits of 9-11. This is what our democratic rights allow and what truth and justice demand of us.
At least 62 people have been reported killed and 73 have been wounded in twin explosions at stations on Moscow's metro rail network.
The first blast took place at the Lubyanka metro station in the centre of the city, followed by a second explosion at Park Kultury in the southwest of the city.
Moscow's chief prosecutor said the explosions were carried out by "suicide bombers" wearing explosive belts.
"We can assume that belts with explosive devices were attached to their bodies," Yuri Syomin told reporters at Lubyanka square.
"The scenario was similar at Park Kultury metro station."
Yuri Luzhkov, the mayor of Moscow, said that both attacks were carried out by "female bombers".
Speaking about the Lubyanka attack, Irina Andrianova, a spokeswoman for Russia's emergencies ministry, told the Itar-Tass news agency: "The blast hit the second carriage of a metro train that stopped at Lubyanka, at 0756 (0356 GMT)."
The headquarters of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB), successor to the Soviet-era KGB, is located just above Lubyanka station.
At least 12 people were reported to have been killed and 23 wounded in the later blast at Park Kultury.
"Both attacks took place on what is known as the Red Line, or line number one," Al Jazeera's Neave Barker, reporting from Moscow, said.
"This has to be seen as a politically motivated attack targeting what is perhaps one of the most symbolic signs of Russian authority in the capital when thousands of people are using one of the most heavily used metros in the world."
The Moscow metro system is one of the world's busiest, carrying around seven million passengers on an average workday.
Witnesses spoke of panic at the stations, with people falling over each other in dense smoke and dust as they tried to escape.
"I was moving up on the escalator when I heard a loud bang, a blast. A door near the passage way arched, was ripped out and a cloud of dust came down on the escalator," a witness called Alexei told the state-run Rossiya 24 news television channel.
"People started running, panicking, falling on each other."
Another witness at the Park Kultury station told RIA news agency: "People were yelling like hell.
"There was a lot of smoke and in about two minutes everything was covered in smoke," he said.
Russian civil aviation authorities ordered increased security at airports after the explosions.

Russian society shocked. Russians accuse Putin
Publication time: 29 March 2010, 16:21
According to Russian media outlets, in Moscow radio programs devoted to subway bombings, ordinary citizens have expressed their view that this was the work of Russian secret services, whose purpose is to further "tighten the screws" of "ungirdled" society that dared to criticize and demand the resignation of Putin.
The reaction to the bombings is: that even, if the attacks have been really carried out by the Caucasian Mujahideen, the Russian society is now inclined to blame Putin and the FSB for the bombings.
A 10-year incessant talk about the "victory" in the Caucasus and the "pacification of Chechnya" is a de facto approval by Russia's public of a campaign of monstrous terror in Chechnya, which killed 250 thousand civilians, including 42 thousand Chechen children from 0 to 11 of age, led to an extension of the war far beyond Chechnya.
Today, it is more and more evident that a moment of truth has come to the Russian society.
It is obvious that the Russian society does not want itself to answer for their criminal acts - for the murder of a quarter million people. Therefore, according to the law of genre, a chief culprit should be named. And it would be likely Putin, even if the Martyrs' Brigade Riyad-us-Saliheen would later claim responsibility for the Moscow metro attacks.
Hence the explanation of Putin's hysteria, who after the bombings said he is immediately returning to Moscow and demanded, as he did 10 years ago, to "rub out terrorists in the outhouse".
However, a threatening movement of his pale eyebrows and lump horns on his forehead do not impress anybody anymore. It turns out that Putin is guilty in every case.
"If as a result, subsequent calls to the authorities to toughen and "tighten the screws", to increase the funding for law enforcement agencies, are heard, there will be no shadow of a doubt that these explosions are the handwork of special services, Russian citizens say.
A society's movement for a change of the inefficient, corrupt system of the Putin's "vertical of power" is growing. Demands "Putin must go" sound from all the sides, from all the groups of the society, even from his closest associates. In these circumstances, the current government could be capable for every provocations and atrocities, just in order to stay in power.
No trust of many citizens is left anymore in the current government", commentators and journalists write.
"In Putin's Russia the bombings are the most important part of politics. Putin's Russia started with the bombings. And after 10 years, the society has not seen any other explanation for these explosions, but as "the hand of the FSB".
For 10 years, no one took responsibility on them and said a word, like, we blew you up to achieve that and that. The amazing feature of Putin's Russia is: Terrorism in full anonymity.
Since then, terrorism in Putin's Russia, for the most part, is anonymous. Trains derailed, planes fell, subway cars exploded - and no one makes any demands. Guess yourselves, they say, what we wanted to achieve. And this Hollywood thriller has been continuing for 10 years already.
Now, even more interesting, would Putin's Russia end with the blasts, as it had begun?"- a former editor of the former Russian opposition paper Moskovsky Komsomolets Anatoly Baranov asks and concludes --
"Putin's Russia began with the explosions in Moscow, Volgodonsk and the "FSB exercises" in Ryazan. Putin's Russia has been bombing itself for 10 years with and without any reason.
So finally, take away a TNT charge from this fool!"

(CLUE - Remember Madoff's Missing Billions?)
(CLUE - Remember Madoff's Missing Billions?)
It is said that one can judge a man by the company he keeps. This is sage advice. It is true that one can judge the nature a person by the kind of people he associates with. This is how one can understand the connections between the Zionist network behind the terrorism of 9-11 and the massive financial scams of the past few years. As I pointed out when the Bernard Madoff scam surfaced, the very same small circle of people are involved in 9-11 and the theft of some $50 billion by Madoff and company.
One might wonder how Benjamin Netanyahu can afford to offend and insult the Obama administration so openly? The hubris of Netanyahu comes from his conceit - and the fact that he and his cronies have tucked away billions of stolen dollars, the missing billions from the Madoff scam, for example.
THE SILVERSTEIN CONNECTION
Benjamin Netanyahu and his former commander, Ehud Barak, are both very close friends and business associates with Larry Silverstein. Silverstein was a business partner on his Israeli tax-free zone project with Larry Tisch of CBS and the late Sy Syms Merns (the former Seymour Merinsky), who passed away in November 2009. Sy Syms, a member of the board of the Israeli Discount Bank of New York, was a close business partner of Bernard Madoff. This is the small circle of Zionist masterminds behind 9-11 and the Madoff rip-off.
Bernard Madoff (left) treasurer and chairman of the board of Sy Syms School of Business at Yeshiva University with his vice chairman Sy Syms (center) and Josh S. Weston.
As I wrote about the toothless prosecution of Madoff in May 2009:
[Lev] Dassin, the scion of a family of Russian Zionists, is also handling the Madoff and Art Nadel cases. In the Madoff case, Dassin did not file the most obvious charge of conspiracy. He obviously accepted Madoff's statement that he had stolen the $50 billion all by himself and had no accomplices. According to Dassin's complaint against Madoff, his closest business partners, Sy Syms and Jacob Ezra Merkin, who funneled billions of dollars to his investment fund, were completely clueless and out of the loop. They just invested billions of dollars into a black hole. Is that believable? The conspicuous fact that Madoff's partners are the directors and owners of "private" Israeli banks (privatized under then finance minister Bibi Netanyahu) and have branches in Switzerland that are allowed to make use of Swiss secrecy laws is of no interest to Lev Dassin. Golly Lev, so where did the $50 billion go?

When the massive Madoff rip-off emerged, I pointed out Madoff's close business connections to Ezra Merkin and Sy Syms Merns [born Seymour Merinsky in Brooklyn, 1926], who was a director of the Israel Discount Bank, an institution well-known for money laundering:
The latest massive financial scandal is the giant $50 billion pyramid or ‘Ponzi’ scheme run by a New York Zionist Jew, Bernard Lawrence Madoff. Madoff was chairman of the Syms business school at Yeshiva University with his partner, Sy Merns, a.k.a. Sy Syms, who has been a director at Israel Discount Bank (IDB) since 1991. The IDB bank is well known for its money laundering business.
Syms and the Israel discount bank
The IDB is the Israeli bank at the center of the 9-11 funding matrix connected to the Bronfman family and Israeli military intelligence. IDB is the Israeli financial institution at the center of the Zionist crimocracy.

On January 31, 2006, a controlling interest in the Bank was acquired by an investor group led by Matthew Bronfman and Rubin Schron. The deal gave Bronfman ownership of IDB's wholly owned subsidiary, the Israel Discount Bank of New York. Bronfman is a younger brother of Edgar Bronfman Jr., chairman and CEO of Warner Music Group Corp.

To understand the long-standing relationship between Commander Barak, Bibi Netanyahu, Larry Silverstein, and Seymour Syms [Merinsky], I recommend reading the 2001 Haaretz article entitled "Up in Smoke", by Sara Leibovich-Dar. It reveals that Netanyahu and Silverstein were very close and spoke every Sunday. Why would Benjamin Netanyahu need to speak with Larry Silverstein on a weekly basis - for years?

To understand the long-standing relationship between Commander Barak, Bibi Netanyahu, Larry Silverstein, and Seymour Syms [Merinsky], I recommend reading the 2001 Haaretz article entitled "Up in Smoke", by Sara Leibovich-Dar. It reveals that Netanyahu and Silverstein were very close and spoke every Sunday. Why would Benjamin Netanyahu need to speak with Larry Silverstein on a weekly basis - for years?
Here a few key extracts from "Up in Smoke":
Shortly after the events of September 11, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon called Larry Silverstein, a Jewish real estate magnate in New York, the owner of the World Trade Center's 110-story Twin Towers and a close friend, to ask how he was. Since then they have spoken a few more times. Two former prime ministers - Benjamin Netanyahu, who this week called Silverstein a "friend," and Ehud Barak, whom Silverstein in the past offered a job as his representative in Israel - also called soon after the disaster...
Silverstein is also a member of the joint American-Israeli commission for housing and community development, which was established by former president Bill Clinton. In the early 1990s, he was involved in projects to build housing for new immigrants. The Israeli political world got to know Silverstein when he tried to create a free-trade zone in the country. He became friendly with Yitzhak Rabin, Benjamin Netanyahu, Ehud Barak and Ariel Sharon...
Silverstein conceived the idea of creating the free-trade zone in 1989. He met with Shimon Peres, who was then the finance minister, and with his deputy, Yossi Beilin, and tried to convince them that the project was an urgent necessity. The idea was that he would be given land in the Negev and would establish tax-free industries there. The Negev would benefit by getting new jobs, and Silverstein would benefit by raking in plenty of money. Peres and Beilin objected: Free-trade zones of the kind envisaged were usually created in the Third World and had the reputation of being slave markets. The local workers earn starvation wages, while the entrepreneurs enjoy full tax exemption and make high profits.
Silverstein did not give up. The economic difficulties he encountered in New York forced him to look for an additional source of revenues. In September 1992, he met in New York with the new finance minister in the Rabin government, Avraham Shochat, and again raised the idea of the free-trade zone, claiming it would create 20,000 new jobs and make the Negev flourish. With Silverstein were his partners in the investment group, Larry Tisch, the owner of CBS, and Sy Sims, a major New York discount retailer...
Close ties with Netanyahu
The ascension to power of Benjamin Netanyahu opened a new chapter in the saga. Silverstein is left-leaning in his political views - he supports the Democratic Party - but after despairing of Rabin and Peres, he believed that Netanyahu, whom he called a hero of the free market, would push the project forward.
The two have been on friendly terms since Netanyahu's stint as Israel's ambassador to the United Nations. For years they kept in close touch. Every Sunday afternoon, New York time, Netanyahu would call Silverstein. It made no difference what the subject was or where Netanyahu was, he would always call, Silverstein told an Israeli acquaintance. Their ties continued after Netanyahu became prime minister. They met several times and Netanyahu promised to give the project his support...
However, Sharon's initiative was stopped dead in its tracks by the elections of May 1999. Still, the change of government did not look ominous to Silverstein - on the contrary. He was friends with the new prime minister, Ehud Barak, too. In 1995, when Barak left the army, Silverstein offered him the job of acting as his representative in Israel, hoping that the former chief of staff, with his ramified connections, would be able to push the project through. Barak turned down the offer, but continued to stay in touch with Silverstein. They met at various social events and Barak introduced him to some of the members of his family.
Silverstein had another close contact in Barak's bureau in the person of Isaac Herzog, who handled Silverstein's legal affairs along with Yaakov Ne'eman. "I didn't touch the subject during my period as cabinet secretary," Herzog says. None of this stopped Barak, after his election as prime minister, from trying to help Silverstein advance the project.
"They came to Barak," says Shochat, who was then the finance minister again. "Barak examined the subject with all kinds of confidants and also talked to me about it. I told him that I was vehemently against it." Barak drew on the help of Yaakov Terner, the mayor of Be'er Sheva, the "capital of the Negev," who was an ardent supporter of the free-trade zone.
WHO IS BIBI NETANYAHU?
Joe Lockhart, spokesman for President Bill Clinton, described Benjamin Netanyahu as "one of the most obnoxious individuals you're going to come into - just a liar and a cheat. He could open his mouth and you could have no confidence that anything that came out of it was the truth." When Netanyahu addressed the AIPAC conference in Washington, D.C. on March 22, besides the usual Zionist lies about Jerusalem and Iran, he told a lie that exposes the fundamental deception of his worldview:
We should be judged by one standard and allegations made against the State of Israel must be grounded in facts. One allegation that is not grounded in fact is the attempt to describe the Jews as foreign colonialists in their own homeland. This is one of the great lies of modern times. In my office, I have a signet ring that was loaned to me by Israel’s Department of Antiquities This ring was found next to the Western wall, but it dates back 2,800 years ago, two hundred years after King David declared Jerusalem as our people’s capital. This ring is a seal of a Jewish official, and his name is inscribed on it in Hebrew. The name is: Netanyahu. Netanyahu Ben-Yoash. That’s my last name. My first name, Benjamin, dates back 1,000 years earlier to Benjamin, the son of Jacob. One of Benjamin’s brothers was named Shimon, which also happens to be the first name of my good friend, Shimon Peres, the President of Israel. Nearly 4,000 years ago, Benjamin, Shimon and their ten brothers roamed the hills of Judea.
Benjamin Netanyahu's name, however, is not really Netanyahu and never was. There is, in fact, no real connection between the Jew who owned the ring and the obnoxious Israeli prime minister, and he knows it very well but that doesn't stop him from lying to the AIPAC crowd. His father was born in 1910 in Warsaw, Poland, with the name Benzion Mileikowsky. Like many Zionist immigrants from Poland and Russia, the Mileikowsky family changed the name when they came to Palestine in the 1920s. Shimon Peres is the same. Peres was born Szymon Perski in Wiszniewo, Poland, on August 2, 1923. The Mileikowskys and Perskis of Poland are, indeed, "foreign colonialists" and have no historical or religious right to the land of Palestine.
The Ashkenazi Jews of Poland are neither Semitic nor related to the Jews of ancient Palestine. Ashkenaz (see Chapter 10 of the Book of Genesis) was the son of Gomer and is not descended from Shem - and neither are the Ashkenazi Jews. The Ashkenazi Jews are descendants of the Asiatic Khazars, who lived around the Caspian Sea (in what is today Khazakstan) and who converted to Judaisim in the 8th Century A.D. The extremely fraudulent claim by Polish and Russian Zionists that they are descendants of Abraham and have a right to Palestine is truly "one of the great lies of modern times."

The Ashkenazi Jews are descended from the Sons of Japhet (pink areas), the people who lived around the Caspian and Black Seas. As they are not descendants of Shem or Abraham, they cannot be called Semitic.
NETANYAHU - "A LIAR AND A CHEAT"
Netanyahu and George Mitchell, U.S. Special Envoy in the Middle East
Presumably, former president Bill Clinton did not conceal his opinion of Bibi from his wife. If Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has forgotten Bibi's tricks then Dennis Ross, who was the coordinator of the peace process in the Clinton administration and is an advisor to Obama, can refer her to his book "The Missing Peace."
There he quotes president Clinton's reaction to Bibi's retreat from a commitment.
"At times he was tough," writes Ross, "yelling at Bibi when he retracted an earlier pledge on Palestinian prisoners. 'This is just chicken shit. I'm not going to put up with this kind of bullshit.'"
Aaron David Miller, who was Ross' deputy, also documented the days of Bibi and Bill. In his book "The Much Too Promised Land," Miller relates that during their first meeting in the summer of 1996, Bibi lectured the president about the Arab-Israeli issue, prompting Clinton to expostulate when it was over, "Who the fuck does he think he is? Who's the fucking superpower here?"
Most definite of all is Joe Lockhart, who was the White House spokesman at the time. In a recorded interview to Clayton Swisher, author of the book "The Truth About Camp David," he described Netanyahu as "one of the most obnoxious individuals you're going to come into - just a liar and a cheat. He could open his mouth and you could have no confidence that anything that came out of it was the truth."

Ehud Barak (left) and Benjamin Netanyahu were at the White House on March 23 for two secret meetings with President Barack Obama and his senior staff. These men are the two highest-level suspects of the false-flag terrorism of 9-11. They should both be arrested for war crimes and crimes of terrorism. Why is Obama meeting with the Israeli terrorists who carried out 9-11? This is clearly a difficult issue where the people have to lead their governments. Public protests should meet the arrival of these terrorists in every nation they visit and shame them as the real culprits of 9-11. This is what our democratic rights allow and what truth and justice demand of us.
Ethnic cleansing : A Very Dangerous Racial Israeli Publication in Jerusalem! بالعربية , English and French
These are translated copies (English and French) of the publication which was published by the Israelis in Arabic to people of Jerusalem within their savage campaign to judaize Jerusalem and the historical holy land of Palestine:
النص الأصلي باللغة العربية بالاسفل
Call for all Muslims living in "Israel "
In this message, we would like to explain the view of Torah regarding non- Jewish inhabitants in Israel. Firstly, we say that all human beings were created by one God and every faithful man must be treated respectfully. Therefore, the view of Judaism is not racial nor inhumane! It is all about religion!
The gist of our religions both is the belief in God, the creator. As we both believe, God gave us Torah which contains the duties and messages that we must achieve.
As what Holy Qur'an says, there is no contrast between what Torah says and what Qur'an says. As faithful Jews, we must achieve our duties. In many parts of Torah, it is written that the land of "Israel" was promised to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their grandsons ONLY! All the people agree that we are the grandsons of the ancient people of Israel, grandsons of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!!
Moreover, it is written in Torah that this small land is a property of the Jewish people ONLY! And it is forbidden to let others live here permanently. It is also written in Books of Nevi'im (Books of the Prophets) that we were dismissed because we did not achieve this divine order! The Jewish people were dismissed and stayed outside their homeland for 2000 years. Now and after we have returned back to the land of Israel, as we were promised by Prophets; it is time for the Israeli people to achieve this divine order. So, we ask you to leave the land of Israel!!!
We say that in the point view of religion and to guarantee peace in Israel! We explain to you all the holy speech in both Qura'an and Torah. We think that when you understand that we do not hate you nor do we want to fight you because of your belief in Islam, you will come to understand the reason behind our determine to achieve the divine order! As Islam says, " There is no god but Allah. "
Here is the divine order. God told Moses:
Torah, 33 . 56-50
God talked to Moses on Moab regarding Jordan and Jericho saying:
Tell people of Israel that you will pass Jordan to the land of Canaanites.
So, you will dismiss all the inhabitants from there, will vanish all their statues and you will control all their heights.
You will own the land and live there because I gave you the land to possess and to divide it by lot regarding your tribes.
You should give more for the big tribes than the small tribes.
And if you did not dismiss the inhabitants, they would be thorns in your eyes and bodies and they would annoy you in the land you live on
And I will punish you the same way I wanted to punish them.
Tell people of Israel that you will pass Jordan to the land of Canaanites.
So, you will dismiss all the inhabitants from there, will vanish all their statues and you will control all their heights.
You will own the land and live there because I gave you the land to possess and to divide it by lot regarding your tribes.
You should give more for the big tribes than the small tribes.
And if you did not dismiss the inhabitants, they would be thorns in your eyes and bodies and they would annoy you in the land you live on
And I will punish you the same way I wanted to punish them.
After you see the divine speech and because Islam is a religion of morals, and to avoid the Jews to possess another land, you must have no objection!! You have wide countries to live in!!! You must understand that we achieve the order written in Torah. Because it is not easy to leave millions of people without financial support, we suggest you to negotiate with "State of Israel" (which embodies the promise of prophets) to get economic aids to live wherever else!!!!
When we and you obey God, then we can live peacefully. We, you, our grandsons and your grandsons for a long time!!
As prophet Ichaaih said, " No nation holds the sword on the face of another nation and they no longer learn about war."
Regard the holiness of these pages. (End of the publication!)

Appel aux musulmans qui vivent en "Israël"
Dans ce message, nous aimerions vous expliquer la position du Torah concernant les habitants non-juifs d´Israël.
Dans un premier temps, nous déclarons que tous les êtres humains furent crées par un seul Dieu et tout fidèle sera traité avec respect. en conséquence, le point de vue "judaique" n´est ni racial ni ihumain!!!! Il n´est question que de religion!!
Dans un premier temps, nous déclarons que tous les êtres humains furent crées par un seul Dieu et tout fidèle sera traité avec respect. en conséquence, le point de vue "judaique" n´est ni racial ni ihumain!!!! Il n´est question que de religion!!
L´idée essentielle de nos deux religions est la croyance en Dieu, le createur. Comme nous le savons tous deux, Dieu nous donna le Torah qui contient les tâches et messages que nous nous devons de réaliser.
Selon ce que dit le Coran, il n´y a pas de contraste entre ce que dit le Torah et ce que dit le Coran. Comme juifs croyants, nous devons réaliser nos tâches. Dans beaucoup de passages du Torah, il est écrit que la région d´Israël a été promise SEULEMENT à Abraham, Isaac, Jacob et à leurs petits enfants.
De plus, il est écrit dans le Torah que ce petit pays est la propriété UNIQUE des juifs!!!! Et il interdit de laisser d´autres (gens) y vivre en permanence. Il est également écrit dans les Livres de Neviim (Livres des Prophètes) que nous avions été reniés pour ne pas obéir cette ordre divin!!!! Les juifs ont été renvoyés et sont restés en dehors de leur patrie pendant 2000 ans. Maintenant et après être de retour sur le sol d´Israël, comme les prophètes nous avaient promis, il est temps que les Israëliens réalise cet ordre divin. Nous vous demandons donc d´abandonner le pays d´Israël!!!
Nous le disons du point de vue religieux et pour garantir la paix en Israël!!! Nous vous expliquons le discours du Coran et Torah ensembles. Nous pensons que lorsque vous comprendrez que nous ne vous haissons pas ni ne vous combattons pas pour votre croyance en l´Islam , vous arriverez à comprendre la raison à notre détermination pour réaliser cet ordre divin!!! Comme dit l´Islam , " Il ´n´y a de Dieu qu´Allah!
Voici l´ordre divin: Dieu dit à Moses
Voici l´ordre divin: Dieu dit à Moses
Torah, 33 . 56-50
Dieu expliqua à Moises et à Moab, en contemplant le Jordan et Jericho:
Dites aux gens d´Israël que vous allez dépasser le Jordan vers le pays de Canaanites.
Donc, vous allez renvoyer tous les habitants d´ici, vous détruirez toutes leurs statuts et contrôlerez tous leurs " évolutions" .
Vous posséderez le pays et y vivrez car je vous ai donné le pays pour le posséder et le diviser en lots selon vos tribus.
Vous devrrez donner plus aux grandes tribus qu´aux petites.
Et si vous n´aviez pas abandonné les habitants, ils auraient été des épines dans vos yeux et corps et ils auraient dérangé dans le pays dans lequel vous vivez.
Et je vous punirais de la même manière que j´ai voulu les punir.
Après avoir vue le discour divin et parce que l´Islam est une religion de morale, et afin d´éviter que les Juifs possèdent un autre pays, vous ne devez avoir aucune objection!!!! Vous avez de larges pays pour y vivre!!!

Comme il n´est pas facile pour des millions de personnes de partir sans appui financier, vous vous suggérons de négocier avec "L´Etat d´Israël" (qui incarne la promesse des prophètes) afin d´obtenir des aides économiques pour vivre ailleurs!!!!
Lorsque vous comme nous ayons obéi à Dieu, nous pourrons alors vivre en paix. Nous, vous , vos petits enfants et leurs petits enfants pour longtemps.

المنشور الذي وزعه الكيان الصهيوني على أبناء مدينة القدس ضمن الحملة المستمرة لتهجيرهم و تهويد القدس ومقدساتها وتفريغها من أهلها
ويبدأ البيان بآية من القرآن الكريم :
ويبدأ البيان بآية من القرآن الكريم :
" ( ولا تجادلوا هل الكتاب إلا بالتي هي أحسن إلا الذين ظلموا منهم وقولوا أمنا بالذي انزل إلينا وانزل إليكم وإلهنا وإلهكم واحد ونحن له مسلمون).
نداء إلى جميع المسلمين الساكنين في ارض إسرائيل
نريد أن نشرح لكم هذه الرسالة رأي التوراة بالنسبة لسكن غير اليهود في ارض اسرائيل , نقول أولا انه حسب التوراة كل إنسان خلق من نفس الله , ويجب التعامل مع كل إنسان مؤمن باحترام , ولذلك نظرة الدين اليهودي ليست عنصرية أو غير إنسانية , فهو ديني فحسب.
الأصل في ديننا ودينكم هو الإيمان بالله , ملك العالم , وحسب إيماننا وإيمانكم أعطانا الله التوراة وفيها الواجبات والرسالات ويجب علينا القيام بها.
حسب مقولات القرآن الكريم لا يوجد أي تناقض بين ما أمرتنا التوراة القيام به وبين ما أمركم القرآن به , كيهود مؤمنون يجب علينا القيام بواجبات التوراة , وفي التوراة مكتوب في عدة أماكن أن ارض إسرائيل وعدت لإبراهيم واسحق ويعقوب و أحفادهم ولا غيرهم , الكل يجمعون بأننا أحفاد شعب اسرايل القديم , أحفاد إبراهيم واسحق ويعقوب.
حسب مقولات القرآن الكريم لا يوجد أي تناقض بين ما أمرتنا التوراة القيام به وبين ما أمركم القرآن به , كيهود مؤمنون يجب علينا القيام بواجبات التوراة , وفي التوراة مكتوب في عدة أماكن أن ارض إسرائيل وعدت لإبراهيم واسحق ويعقوب و أحفادهم ولا غيرهم , الكل يجمعون بأننا أحفاد شعب اسرايل القديم , أحفاد إبراهيم واسحق ويعقوب.
ومكتوب في التوراة أيضا بان ارض إسرائيل , هذه الأرض الصغيرة , هي ملك الشعب اليهودي فقط , ومن الممنوع سكن غيرهم فيها بصورة دائمة.
مكتوب أيضا في أسفار الأنبياء انه بسبب عدم قيامنا بهذا الأمر الالهي , الشعب اليهودي طرد وبقي خارج بلاده 2000 سنة , ألان وبعد عودة شعب إسرائيل إلى ارض إسرائيل ,كما وعدونا الأنبياء , حان الوقت ليقوم الشعب الإسرائيلي بتنفيذ هذا الأمر الالهى , ولذلك نطلب منكم مغادرة ارض إسرائيل.
مكتوب أيضا في أسفار الأنبياء انه بسبب عدم قيامنا بهذا الأمر الالهي , الشعب اليهودي طرد وبقي خارج بلاده 2000 سنة , ألان وبعد عودة شعب إسرائيل إلى ارض إسرائيل ,كما وعدونا الأنبياء , حان الوقت ليقوم الشعب الإسرائيلي بتنفيذ هذا الأمر الالهى , ولذلك نطلب منكم مغادرة ارض إسرائيل.
نحن نقول ذلك من وجهة النظر الدينية , لنضمن السلام في ارض إسرائيل , نحن نشرح لكم المقولات التوراتية والقرآنية , ونحن نعتقد انه حين تفهمون أننا لا نكرهكم ولا نريد محاربتكم بسبب إيمانكم بالإسلام , ستفهمون سبب إرادتنا القيام بأمر الله , كما قال الإسلام لا اله إلا الله.
هذا الأمر الرباني قاله الله لموسى :
التوراة , سفر العدد 33 . 56-50 :
كلم الرب موسى في عربات مواب على أردن أريحا قائلا
كلم بني إسرائيل وقل لهم أنكم عابرون الأردن إلى ارض كنعان
فتطردون كل سكان الأرض من أمامكم وتمحون جميع تصاويرهم وتبيدون كل أصنامهم المسبوكة وتخبربون جميع مرتفعاتهم
تملكون الأرض وتسكنون فيها لاني قد أعطيتكم الأرض لكي تملكوها
وتقتسمون الأرض بالقرعة حسب عشائركم الكثير تكثرون له نصيبه والقليل تقللون له نصيبه حيث خرجت له القرعة فهناك يكون له حسب أسباط آبائكم تقتسمون
وان لم تطردوا سكان الأرض من أمامكم يكون الذين تستبقون منهم أشواكا في أعينكم ومناخس في جوانبكم ويضايقونكم على الأرض التي انتم ساكنون فيها
فيكون أني افعل بكم كما هممت أن افعل بهم
كلم بني إسرائيل وقل لهم أنكم عابرون الأردن إلى ارض كنعان

وتقتسمون الأرض بالقرعة حسب عشائركم الكثير تكثرون له نصيبه والقليل تقللون له نصيبه حيث خرجت له القرعة فهناك يكون له حسب أسباط آبائكم تقتسمون
وان لم تطردوا سكان الأرض من أمامكم يكون الذين تستبقون منهم أشواكا في أعينكم ومناخس في جوانبكم ويضايقونكم على الأرض التي انتم ساكنون فيها
فيكون أني افعل بكم كما هممت أن افعل بهم
وفي القرآن الكريم :
سورة الإسراء : ( وقلنا من بعده لبني إسرائيل اسكنوا الأرض فإذا جاء وعد الآخرة جئنا بكم لفيفا)
سورة الإسراء : ( وقلنا من بعده لبني إسرائيل اسكنوا الأرض فإذا جاء وعد الآخرة جئنا بكم لفيفا)
سورة الاحقاف : ( ومن قبله كتاب موسى إماما ورحمة وهذا كتاب مصدق لسانا عربيا لينذر الذين ظلموا وبشرى للمحسنين)
سورة المائدة : ( إنا أنزلنا التوراة فيها هدىً ونور يحكم بها النبيّون الذين اسلموا للذين هادوا والربّانيون والأحبار بما استحفظوا من كتاب الله وكانوا عليه شهداء فلا تخشوا الناس واخشون ولا تشتروا بآياتي ثمنا قليلا ومن لم يحكم بما انزل الله فاؤلئك هم الكافرون)
بعدما رايتهم الأقوال السماوية ولان الدين الإسلامي هو دين أخلاقي , ولان لا تكون بيد الشعب اليهودي أي ارض أخرى , لذلك يجب أن لا تكون لكم معارضة لهذا – ولديكم بلدان واسعة يمكنكم السكن فيها- وتفهمون بان علينا القيام بالأمر المكتوب في التوراة . ولأنه من غير السهل مغادرة ملايين الناس بدون مساعدات مالية , فإننا نقترح عليكم أن تفاوضوا دولة إسرائيل ( التي تجسد وعود الأنبياء) , على أن تحصلوا على مساعدات اقتصادية للسكن في مكان آخر.
ولما نطيع الله نحن وانتم , يمكننا العيش بسلام , نحن وانتم وأولادنا وأولادكم لسنوات طويلة , كما قال النبي يشاعيه : ( لا ترفع امة على امة سيفا ولا يتعلمون الحرب في ما بعد)
يطلب الحفظ على قدسية هذه الصفحات. (نهاية المنشور)!! "

Russia must support Israel and don't deliver S400 to Iran or face consequences : Netanyahu suspected in Moscow terror operations
Russian Jewish Mafia inside FSB suspected and Caucasus Muslims blamed for something they never done. A kind of deja vu ! In February 2004, zionist jews clans stroke Moscow, one year later, London underground was bombed, by israelis... helped by Tony Blair government. Russia is invited to pull off Iran or face consequences like Lukoil last week, said war criminal and 911 brain master Netanyahu.
Moscow metro blasts kill dozens
At least 62 people have been reported killed and 73 have been wounded in twin explosions at stations on Moscow's metro rail network.
The first blast took place at the Lubyanka metro station in the centre of the city, followed by a second explosion at Park Kultury in the southwest of the city.
Moscow's chief prosecutor said the explosions were carried out by "suicide bombers" wearing explosive belts.
"We can assume that belts with explosive devices were attached to their bodies," Yuri Syomin told reporters at Lubyanka square.
"The scenario was similar at Park Kultury metro station."
Yuri Luzhkov, the mayor of Moscow, said that both attacks were carried out by "female bombers".
Speaking about the Lubyanka attack, Irina Andrianova, a spokeswoman for Russia's emergencies ministry, told the Itar-Tass news agency: "The blast hit the second carriage of a metro train that stopped at Lubyanka, at 0756 (0356 GMT)."
The headquarters of Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB), successor to the Soviet-era KGB, is located just above Lubyanka station.
At least 12 people were reported to have been killed and 23 wounded in the later blast at Park Kultury.
"Both attacks took place on what is known as the Red Line, or line number one," Al Jazeera's Neave Barker, reporting from Moscow, said.
"This has to be seen as a politically motivated attack targeting what is perhaps one of the most symbolic signs of Russian authority in the capital when thousands of people are using one of the most heavily used metros in the world."
The Moscow metro system is one of the world's busiest, carrying around seven million passengers on an average workday.
Witnesses spoke of panic at the stations, with people falling over each other in dense smoke and dust as they tried to escape.
"I was moving up on the escalator when I heard a loud bang, a blast. A door near the passage way arched, was ripped out and a cloud of dust came down on the escalator," a witness called Alexei told the state-run Rossiya 24 news television channel.
"People started running, panicking, falling on each other."
Another witness at the Park Kultury station told RIA news agency: "People were yelling like hell.
"There was a lot of smoke and in about two minutes everything was covered in smoke," he said.
Russian civil aviation authorities ordered increased security at airports after the explosions.

La ‘Séparation de l’Église/Synagogue de l’État’ n’est qu’un mythe !
L’État est comme une Église qui ne peut se séparer de ses adeptes. L’État ne peut séparer le religieux comme le non-religieux de l’État vivant. Les humains font de l’État un organisme vivant qui respire alors que sans eux, l’État ne fonctionne pas; il existe toujours, mais il est mort.
Alors qu’un peuple peut facilement identifier une Église, un Temple, une Mosquée (des bâtisses ou institutions) et leurs adeptes dans toutes leurs diversités, le même exercice n’est pas tout à fait évident dans l’identification de l’État. Qu’est-ce un État? Est-il un être humain, une structure (physique ou abstraite), ou tous en même temps ? Pourquoi séparer l’Église de l’État ?Dans le contexte de la dite séparation de l’Église obscurantiste de l’État éclairé, concept qui émane de la laïcité française, on procèdera à apporter une définition du terme tout en analysant si l’Église peut être réellement séparée de l’État ou si elle forme toujours parti intégrante de cet État.
« L’État c’est moi », Louis XIV
État est dérivé du latin, status, qui veut dire « être debout ». En nom propre, « l'Etat désigne la personne morale de droit public qui, sur le plan juridique, représente une collectivité, un peuple ou une nation, à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur d'un territoire déterminé sur lequel elle exerce le pouvoir suprême, la souveraineté. » Par extension « l'État désigne l'ensemble des institutions et des services qui permettent de gouverner et d'administrer un pays : ministères, directions, préfectures, délégations, administrations déconcentrées ou décentralisées ». État est aussi synonyme de « pays ». [Source : Dictionnaire politique].
Quand Louis XIV exaltait « l’État c’est moi », il voulait dire qu’un tel pouvoir suprême aussi bien que les structures pour appliquer ce pouvoir étaient investis en sa personne. L’État, tel qu’on le connaît, est incarné par le gouvernement qui est mis en place par les humains et fonctionne également par les humains pour les humains, les animaux, l’environnement, etc. Les personnes qui font fonctionner l’État incluent les représentants du peuple, les leaders, les fonctionnaires, les juges, les soldats, ainsi de suite. Et ces personnes peuvent être des athées ou des adeptes de diverses religions. Ils sont tous les employés de l’État. Mais qui emploie l’État ?C’est le peuple, y compris les employés de l’État eux-mêmes. Les gouvernants ne sont pas réellement séparés des gouvernés (non-gouvernants), mais ces derniers doivent se plier aux dictats des gouvernants.
« L’État, c’est nous »
Mais la philosophie de l’État est une abstraction qui peut bien exister sans un peuple pour gouverner. Robinson Crusoé peut bien concevoir un tel État. Si on comprend l’État uniquement comme un concept structuré, on peut dire que l’État n’a pas de religion. Il n’a pas de cœur, pas de cervelle; il ne pense pas; il est un imbécile; il est muet ; il est sourd ; il ne mange pas et ne boit pas.
Mais les humains font de l’État un organisme vivant qui respire alors que sans eux, l’État ne fonctionne pas; il existe toujours, mais il est mort. Pour abriter les êtres humains qui font fonctionner l’État, il nous faut des structures physiques qui ne sont que des symboles de l’État et non l’État en lui-même. L’État est alors infesté par des êtres humains qui gouvernent. Mais le peuple non-gouvernant n’est pas la propriété de l’État. Le peuple est représenté par et forme parti de l’État. « L’État, c’est nous ».
‘Séparation de l’Église de l’État’
Il va de soi que l’État reconnaisse, représente et adopte les diversités légitimes du peuple. En dépit de la propagande, l’État ne peut jamais être laïque, car il ne peut séparer le religieux comme le non-religieux et leurs institutions respectives de l’État vivant. La séparation de l’Église de l’État n’existe pas, même dans les pays européens qui revendiquent cette philosophie, par exemple, la France qui inventa la politique de la laïcité, terme emprunté à l’Église catholique [v. la philosophie des années lumières européennes]. Malgré qu’elle se professe laïque, la France est dirigée et contrôlée par les synagogues et les églises, et elle a non seulement aidé à créer avec force l’État juif en Palestine, mais elle soutient, finance et s’identifie même avec cet État religieux et d’apartheid.
« La séparation de l’Église de l’État » est une doctrine qui s’applique à l’Église catholique dans la France post-révolutionnaire en raison des circonstances propres à cette dernière. Cependant, on ne dira pas la séparation de la Mosquée ou du Temple hindouiste de l’État. Mais, la doctrine a été élargie pour inclure toutes les institutions religieuses, et imposées même au-delà de la France à travers le colonialisme (ou le néo-colonialisme).
Un religieux qui veut le bien-être de ses semblables a parfaitement le droit de revendiquer leurs droits politiques et économiques. Il a tout le droit d’audience avec le Chef d’État, et vice versa.Dans un sens, l’État est comme une Église qui ne peut se séparer de ses adeptes.
L’État n’est pas une invention grecque
Le principe de l’État prédate la civilisation grecque. C’est fort connu que l’Europe n’aime toujours s’identifier qu’avec la civilisation grecque parce que les Grecs sont considérés ‘blancs’ et chrétiens. En réalité l’État grec n’était que très rudimentaire. Ce n’est que subséquemment que les Européens ont incorporé et adopté bien des éléments non grecs dans ce concept tout en les faisant passer pour des concepts purement occidentaux, par exemple, les droits humains, l’émancipation de la femme, l’État de Droit, l’équité en justice, le système égalitaire, la sécurité sociale, le respect d’autres religions et cultures, et davantage.
Le Khilâfah (Califate) est un example de l’État basé sur les principes islamiques [VIIeme s.].L’Islam n’est pas uniquement une religion, mais un État, et un mode de vie (diin) complet.Selon Bertrand Russel, l’Islam fut une religion politique dès son origine. [Ref. Dictionary of Mind, Matter & Morals]. Cependant, l’État islamique est un État civil et non un état religieux comme le Vatican parce qu’il doit obligatoirement reconnaître et respecter toutes les religions.Genghis Khan [1162–1227], né Témujin, qui originalement combattait les Musulmans avant de se convertir à l’Islam, gouvernait par les codes civils et militaires, appelés Yassa. Il incorpora bien de principes islamiques dans son État. Il ne s’attachait pas à l’appartenance ethnique et à la race mais à la méritocratie. L’Islam ne reconnaît qu’une race, seule la race humaine. L’Empire mongol était ethniquement et culturellement l’un des plus divers de l’histoire. Il pratiquait la tolérance religieuse parce que la tradition mongole a toujours soutenu que la religion est un concept personnel qui ne devrait pas être sujet à la loi ou à l’ingérence. Précédant sa mort, Genghis Khan voulait créer un État civil sous le Grand Yassa en faveur de l’égalité pour tous, y compris les femmes. L’État grec, par contre, n’avait pas ces qualités. À rappeler que la civilisation grecque est redevable à la civilisation égyptienne et aryenne, et non vice versa, et que la Civilisation de la Vallée de l’Indus, n’ont pas non plus appris les principes de l’État chez les Grecs. [Réf. « Stolen Legacy: Greek Philosophy is Stolen Egyptian Philosophy » de George G.M. James.]
Conclusion
Grâce à une férocité inégalable dans l’histoire, le colonialisme et l’impérialisme occidentaux ne reculèrent devant aucun génocide et culturocide, et démantelèrent tous les autres systèmes étatiques bien supérieurs aux leurs. Des centaines de pays subirent le sort de l’Hindoustan, réputé pour ses richesses, et son État moderne et pluriculturel, en voyant leurs richesses spoliées, leurs cultures détruites, et leurs systèmes de gouvernance imposés aux vaincus, sans oublier l’institutionnalisation du racisme à l’occidental, et en glorifiant tout ce qui était (ou qu’ils disaient être) de Grèce. C’est à travers des guerres d’agression d’une violence extrême et une politique très britannique de « diviser pour régner » qu’ils réussirent à démolir les empires mongol et ottoman qui ont civilisé plus de la moitié du monde. Par exemple, l’empereur Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar est mentionné dans l’Encyclopédie britannique comme le plus grand empereur de l’histoire, et l’Hindoustan unifié par les Mongols comme un État moderne.
Les Européens sont militairement supérieurs. Ils ont inventé les bombes nucléaires, hydrogène et à neutron qu’ils ne veulent pas que les autres possèdent. Ils ont inventé le capitalisme sauvage à travers lequel ils asservissent et exploitent les peuples du monde entier. Ils manipulent les principes de l’État à leurs bénéfices. Ils passent de lois fascistes et oppressives et créent des camps de concentration et de torture. Alors qu’ils sont toujours dirigés par leurs Églises, Synagogues et Loges franc-maçonniques, ils nous aveuglent en imposant le mythe de la Séparation de l’Église de l’État chez eux comme dans les pays qu’ils exploitent par un capitalisme sauvage d’État ou qu’ils occupent militairement, et contrôlent politiquement et économiquement. Dans un monde ‘démocratiquement’ capitaliste ou une petite minorité possède et contrôle la grande majorité des ressources et richesses, tout État est aussi sujette aux dictats d’un Super État capitaliste et suprématiste dont les symboles sont la Banque Mondiale et les Nations Unis contrôlés par les Sionistes, la CIA et bien d’autres.

OPERATION NOVEMBER 1950 : Netanyahu has a 'bullet for Obama' and 'dirty bombs' terror attacks for the europeans
Zionist jews of Londonistan in final preparation of massive terror attacks in Europe on behalf of Israel. As warned in this blog since the 8 November 2008. Great Britain, Netherlands-NATO, France and Germany are helping Tel Aviv. Note that these bastards wrote 'al Qa'ida' in French not the usual 'al Qaeda' in English, as North African were supposed to play the patsie roles... Some zionist jewish people in London are in big trouble !

Britain at risk from al-Qa'ida 'dirty' nuclear bomb
Britain is facing an increased threat of nuclear attacks by al-Qa'ida terrorists, according to three counter-terrorism reviews published yesterday.
Downing Street issued an update to the National Security Strategy, which stated that "the UK does face nuclear threats now", adding that there was "the possibility that nuclear weapons or nuclear material [could] fall into the hands of rogue states or terrorist groups."
According to the Daily Telegraph, Lord West, the Security Minister, has already made likely the possibility of London undergoing a similar attack to that of Mumbai in 2008, when terrorists used small vessels to enter ports and take the city under siege. It comes amid fears that terrorists could transport an improvised nuclear device on the Thames and detonate it in the heart of London. Other areas thought to be vulnerable included Bristol, Liverpool, Newcastle, Glasgow and Belfast.
Another report, on the Government's "Contest" counter-terrorism strategy, said there was a danger that the enhanced expertise of insurgent groups in Afghanistan had increased the threat from a radiological "dirty bomb".
The report also suggested that bomb makers that have been active in Afghanistan could already have the ability to produce a "dirty bomb" using information available over the internet.
A third counter-terrorism report said security around stockpiles of decommissioned material was "variable and sometimes inadequate leaving materials vulnerable and to theft".

Time for an American Intifada?
By Jeff Gates,
http://criminalstate.com
During the 1960 Christmas season, Americans flocked to the theaters to see Exodus, a 3-1/2 hour epic film featuring handsome freedom fighters and a riveting romance amidst the heroic triumph of Jewish Destiny over Arab Evil Doers. Set against a Yuletide backdrop of Biblical prophecy, moviegoers marveled as exiled Jews returned to their fabled promised land, a staple of popular culture to which Americans are first exposed as children in “Sunday school.”
Many moviegoers failed to realize that Exodus was not fact but fiction. Even now, few Americans realize the storyline was adapted for the screen from a 1958 novel by Leon Uris. The biggest bestseller since Gone with the Wind—a novel set during the Civil War of the 1860s—the film adaptation was directed by Hollywood icon Otto Preminger. The blockbuster’s stars included a young Paul Newman with his leading lady a blond Eva Marie Saint.
The cast included character actor Lee J. Cobb and Peter Lawford, married to Pat Kennedy, a sister of John F. Kennedy who was elected president the same year. By then, Lawford was a famous member of pop culture’s high profile “Rat Pack” that included singer Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Joey Bishop. Italian crooner Sal Mineo, then a teen heartthrob, received an Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of a Jewish émigré.
An Oscar should have been awarded to Israel and its supporters for portraying this extremist enclave as a legitimate nation-state when, in reality, its founding traces to an alluring storyline. Forty-five years after the release of Exodus, American naiveté was again targeted by Jewish storytellers to induce the U.S. to war in the Middle East—only this time for real.
Then as now, Americans are easily swayed by sympathetic portrayals of an enclave granted nation-state recognition by President Harry Truman, a Christian-Zionist. The Missouri Democrat had famously read the Bible cover-to-cover five times by age 15. Truman was a True Believer in the same way that fundamentalist Christians believe—truly believe—that their Messiah will not return until the “Israelites” recover their ancestral home.
Preying on similar beliefs, Republican George W. Bush, another Christian-Zionist president, was induced with phony intelligence to wage war in Iraq. The false intelligence was traceable to Israelis, pro-Israelis or assets developed for that purpose. That invasion had long been a priority goal of those who believe—truly believe—in their right to an expansionist Greater Israel.
Yet as Shlomo Sand chronicles in The Invention of the Jewish People (2009), the historical evidence is scant either for an exile or an “exodus.” As with the movie, the return of a “Jewish People” to a Jewish homeland is “a conscious ideological composition” meant “to claim a higher cultural lineage” than what can be supported by the facts.
In lieu of the novel-writing skills of Leon Uris, the Zionist narrative featured Biblical archeologists such as William F. Albright who, in the 1920s, traveled to the Holy Land to excavate artifacts that would, as Sand puts it: “reaffirm the Old Testament and thereby the New.”
By interpreting his finds in Christian-Zionist terms, Albright and his colleagues not only unearthed Biblical “facts” that shaped the Sunday school curriculum, they also helped pre-stage the perceived legitimacy of a Jewish people returning from exile to a Jewish homeland. As Sand points out, if there was no exodus, how can there be a return? If there is no “Jewish People,” how can there be a homeland?
Yet these widely held beliefs remain the premise underlying Israel’s expansionist agenda and its rationale for heaping six decades of abuse on Palestinians who have lived there for centuries.
Political Expedience or Biblical Prophecy?
White House counsel Clark Clifford cautioned Truman that his reelection was unlikely absent the funding that Jewish-Americans—with Israel’s recognition—were eager to provide. In early May 1948, General George C. Marshall, Truman’s Secretary of State, argued vigorously against recognition. Strong objections were also heard from the diplomatic corps, the fledgling Central Intelligence Agency and the Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Marshall, the top-ranked U.S. military officer in WWII, was outraged that Clifford put domestic political expedience ahead of U.S. foreign policy interests. Marshall told Truman that he would vote against him if he extended sovereign status to an enclave of Zionist terrorists, religious fanatics and what Albert Einstein and Jewish philosopher Hannah Arendt called “Jewish fascists.” Marshall insisted that State Department personnel never again speak to Clifford.
In March 1948, a Joint Chiefs paper titled “Force Requirements for Palestine” predicted the “Zionist strategy will seek to involve [the U.S.] in a continuously widening and deepening series of operations intended to secure maximum Jewish objectives.” Those objectives included an expansionist agenda for Greater Israel that envisioned the taking of Arab land, ensuring armed clashes in which the U.S. was destined to become embroiled.
The Joint Chiefs listed Zionist objectives as:
- Initial Jewish sovereignty over a portion of Palestine,
- Acceptance by the great powers of the right to unlimited immigration,
- The extension of Jewish sovereignty over all of Palestine,
- The expansion of “Eretz (Greater) Israel” into Transjordan and portions of Lebanon and Syria, and
- The establishment of Jewish military and economic hegemony over the entire Middle East.
Akin to the fictional portrayal in Exodus, those Zionists lobbying Truman assured him they would remain within the initial boundaries. We now know that was a lie. They also promised that the Zionist state would not become what it quickly became: a theocratic and racist enclave—albeit widely marketed by pro-Israeli media as the “only democracy in the Middle East.”
To remove all doubt as to the extremist goals of the Zionist project, the Joint Chiefs assessment added ominously:
“All stages of this program are equally sacred to the fanatical concepts of the Jewish leaders. The program is openly admitted by some leaders, and has been privately admitted to United States officials by responsible leaders of the presently dominant Jewish group–the Jewish Agency.”
Deceit from the Outset
A beguiling combination of Hollywood fiction, manipulated beliefs and outright lies remain at the core of this entangled alliance and the U.S.-Israeli “special relationship.” The deceit deployed to advance the hegemonic goals of the Zionist project remains obscured by an undisclosed media bias reinforced by a widespread pro-Israeli influence in popular culture. As with the 1960 film, the ongoing manipulation of thought and emotion lies at the core of this duplicity a half-century later.
In The Persuasion Explosion (1985), author Art Stevens reports that Exodus was a public relations ploy launched by Edward Gottlieb who sought a novelist to improve Israel’s image in the U.S. The name Uris originates with Yerushalmi, meaning “man of Jerusalem.” The film rights to Exodus were sold in advance of the book’s publication. Translated into dozens of languages, this masterpiece of mental and emotional manipulation quickly became a global phenomenon as it created favorable impressions of Israel.
The rewards are real for those who offer aid and comfort to this trans-generational deceit. When Truman’s campaign train traversed the nation as part of a 1948 whistle-stop tour, grateful Jewish nationalists refueled his campaign coffers with a reported $400,000 in cash ($3.6 million in 2010 dollars). Those funds helped transform his anticipated loss into a victory with support from pro-Israeli editorial boards that—after recognition—boosted Truman’s sagging popularity.
The Creation of Reliable Assets
Clark Clifford was rewarded with his career goal when he emerged as a top-paid Washington lawyer. After proving himself a pliable personality, he remained a reliable asset. During the G.H.W. Bush presidency, his combination of political prominence and perceived credibility provided cover for a massive bank fraud involving the Bank of Credit and Commerce International aided by Roger Altman, his Ashkenazi law partner.
In 2009, Hollywood released an action thriller (The International) starring Clive Owen and featuring a similar storyline involving the International Bank of Business and Credit. Neither Clifford nor Altman had experience in banking when their law firm enabled what prosecutors charged was a global criminal operation.
Media reports described the BCCI scheme as the largest bank fraud in history. This $20 billion transnational operation even featured the requisite Hollywood component: Clifford’s protégé was married to Lynda Carter, the star of Wonder Woman, a 1970s fantasy-adventure television series.
The real fantasy in this long-running geopolitical fraud lies in why U.S. lawmakers continue to befriend and defend a “nation” that has for so long—and so consistently—deceived and betrayed its most loyal ally. As a badly miscast Eva Marie Saint asked in her most memorable line in Exodus: “When will it ever end?”
The greatest wonder will be if, based on facts confirming the depth and duration of this duplicity, those lawmakers urging continued support for Israel are not charged with treason. [See: How the Israel Lobby Took Control of U.S. Foreign Policy.]
To restore its national security, the U.S. must shake off its entangled alliance with this extremist enclave. “Shaking off” is the literal translation of “intifada.” Those who know the true facts behind this trans-generational deception are quickly reaching the conclusion that the recognition of this enclave as a legitimate state was key to this ongoing fraud. Others may be waiting for the movie, American Intifada.
Afghanistan : Islamic Resistance Operations: Latest update 22nd March 2010
The Islamic Emirate Of Afghanistan:
Who Controls Marjah Now?
Rabi ul Sani 05, 1431 A.H, Monday March 22, 2010
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Marjah was the first test ground for Obama's new military strategy in Afghanistan. Since February 13, when the invading coalition and American troops launched operation " together" against Marjah, no day or night has passed without Mujahideen's inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy. In Every 24 y hours, the enemy loses 3- 10 military tanks and armed vehicles on average. If we count the crews of the tanks killed by IED's mines and armed clashes, the enemy casualties reach tens of soldiers each day. General Azimi, a spokesman of the ministry of defense of the Kabul puppet regime admits that they face 3-4 attacks of Mujahideen in Marjah every 24 hours. The enemy is herded up in a government building in the center of the town. They have no writ beyond that point. Western media outlets themselves acknowledge that Mujahideen rule the whole Marjah during the night. Every one, including the operators of the mobile towers has to obey the Mujahideen instructions.
For the past eight years, the White House rulers have been propagating that Taliban were foreign elements that had no roots among the people. But now they have come around that Taliban are part and parcel of the Afghan society and could not be isolated socially. Richard Holdbrooke, US Envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan admits there is a Talib in every Afghan family. It is a fact , Taliban, in the other word, the Mujahideen, have deep roots in the society. They represent the aspirations of the people and are protectors of their religious and national values. It is why, the enemy is not able to overcome over the Mujahideen despite huge military preparations and operations, being unprecedented in terms of massiveness since World War II. Marjah is a good example of invaders' inability to achieve their colonialist objectives in face of the people's stiff resistance.
Ironically, Washington acts as an evil empire under the pretext of fighting terrorism. Hundred of infants have been born deformed in Pashto-speaking areas because of the use of depleted uranium by the American invading troops. They launch night raids on civilian houses, blow up gates of residential houses with explosives and start firing pointblank and indiscriminately which frequently result in the killing of innocent residents in rural areas.
We have many examples in every part of the country. Recently during a similar case, three women were killed near Gardez, the provincial capital of Paktya province, where the abhorrent black water agents with support of special force's soldiers raided a house. A baby-naming ceremony was going on in the house when the brutal agents gate crashed. Similarly, since 13 February when the enemy launched attacks against Marjah, 36 civilians have been killed by enemy bombardment, missile strikes and night raids. More than 40 civilians received injury and hundreds of houses of people have been destroyed by the enemy. But the brutalities of the enemy to terrorize the people, have not granted them any gain on ground. Marjah is still in the hands of Mujahideen. The enemy is besieged and limited to some government buildings in the heart of the town.
The enemy has appointed an Afghan-German national, Abdul Zahir, as governor of Marjah who has remained out of touch with his community for the last decade and is not able to perceive their needs. He panders more to the demands of the invaders rather than meeting the requirements of the common Afghans.
As long as the invaders do not succumb to the demands of the people i.e. independence of Afghanistan, establishment of Islamic government, reconstruction and development of the country participated by all Afghans, the enemy will never have chance to go to sleep with peaceful mind. Military showdown and operations will not buy them peace . But realization of values and natural rights of the Afghan people is the way, leading to peaceful solution of the issue. However, ironically, these fundamental principles are not found in the book of colonialism and imperialism which have occupied Afghanistan.

The Face Off - The Fanatics of Israel vs the U.S. and World Opinion
"Bibi" Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, is a disciple of Ze'ev Jabotinsky, the founder of the most radical, racist, and militant form of Zionism. The West should know that there can be no appeasement with such fanatics who are devoted to an ideology of Jewish supremacism and Greater Israel. The fact that the U.S. and the international community have now clearly condemned illegal Israeli settlements is piling pressure on Netanyahu and his government of extremists. The crucial question now is how will Netanyahu respond to this pressure? This is a dangerous situation because Zionist zealots usually react with violence and terrorism.

"New construction in East Jerusalem or the West Bank undermines that mutual trust and endangers the proximity talks that are the first step toward the full negotiations that both sides say they want and need," Hillary Clinton told the Israeli lobby AIPAC on March 22. "And it exposes daylight between Israel and the United States that others in the region hope to exploit. It undermines America's unique ability to play a role, an essential role, in the peace process." Israel's "new construction" on occupied land is illegal, a point that cannot be ignored.
The Obama administration and the international community have finally confronted Israel's illegal settlements, its Wall of Apartheid, and the racism inherent in Zionism. The dispute over illegal Israeli settlements on occupied land puts the Obama administration (and the U.N. and international community) into a political face off with the extreme right-wing regime led by the prime minister from the Likud, Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu. Who will prevail? The U.S. government and the American people need to stand firm against the racism and dangerous fanaticism of Zionists like Netanyahu.
How can any American support a state like Israel that is built on a basis of racial and religious segregation? If apartheid was wrong in South Africa, how can it be acceptable in Palestine? Only a racist could support the apartheid state created by Zionism. Why does the U.S. support the Jewish racism of Israel? Why are U.S. taxpayer dollars being used to build illegal settlements and Israel's hideously ugly wall of separation? It is high time for the American people to boycott Israeli racism and demand that U.S. foreign policy reflect fundamental American principles and values.

It should be clear to all that the so-called "Two State Solution" to the problem in Palestine is no solution. The only viable solution, and the only solution the United States should promote, is a non-racist democratic state in the whole of Palestine in which Christians, Muslims, and Jews are all allowed to live as equals under the law. International law, a number of U.N. resolutions, and common sense tell us that the Palestinian refugees must be allowed to return to their homes, villages, and land that were stolen from them by Zionist terrorism. The Zionists were allowed to settle in Palestine with the specific agreement that the rights and interests of the native Palestinian population would not be compromised in any way. The racist laws and policies of the Zionist state must be dismantled. It's that simple. To think that any peaceful compromise can be reached with fanatical Zionism, a racist ideology based on religion, is foolish and dangerous.
"I don't think Palestinians see a bi-national state as a threat," he told The Media Line. "I think it's a genuine feeling that one democratic state in which Jews, Muslims and Christians all live together would simply be easier."
The idea of a one-state solution is gaining popularity among Palestinians. Dr. Jamil Rabah, Director of the Ramallah-based polling group Near East Consulting, said the growing Palestinian support for a bi-national state was not a result of the potential threat it posed to Israeli Jews.
Hagi Ben Artzi, Benjamin Netanyahu's brother-in-law and a devoted follower of the aptly named rabbi Kook, told the Israeli press that President Barack Obama is an anti-Semite. “Unfortunately, there is an anti-Semitic president in America,” he said. “As a politician who ran for president, he had to hide it, but from time to time, it bursts out from inside. It’s creating a difficult situation for Israel, but we won’t even consider giving up on our deep interests.” Ben Artzi is a religious zealot who believes in "the redemption of Greater Israel." He was an advocate of the extremely racist policies of the late Meir Kahane. To understand the dangerous fanaticism of the Netanyahu- Ben Artzi clan, I recommend "Ben Artzi's last stand" by Vered Levy-Barzilai in Haaretz of April 28, 2004

THE ZIONIST CRIME OF APARTHEID
The crime of apartheid is defined by the 2002 Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court as inhumane acts of a character similar to other crimes against humanity "committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime." There is no question that Zionism is a racist ideology and Israel is a state that is guilty of the crime of apartheid. Zionism, in fact, cannot exist without apartheid.

"ALL SETTLEMENT ACTIVITY IS ILLEGAL" - U.N. CHIEF BAN KI-MOON
During his recent trip to Israel, Vice President Joe Biden and the Obama administration were insulted and embarrassed by the Israeli government's announcement on March 10 that it had approved construction of an additional 1,600 homes in the illegal Israeli settlement named Ramat Shlomo.
The so-called Quartet of Middle East peace mediators, made up of representatives from the United Nations, United States, European Union and Russia, urged Israel to freeze all settlement activity after talks in Moscow on March 19. The Quartet issued a formal statement read by UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, which said: "The Quartet urges the government of Israel to freeze all settlement activities… and to refrain from demolitions and evictions. It condemns the decision by the government of Israel to advance planning for new housing units in east Jerusalem."
The following day, Saturday March 20, Ban rejected Israel's distinction between East Jerusalem and the West Bank, noting that both are occupied lands. Israeli settlement building anywhere on occupied land is illegal and must be stopped, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon said after viewing some of the illegal Israeli settlements and the Wall of Apartheid near Jerusalem. "The world has condemned Israel's settlement plans in east Jerusalem," Ban told a news conference after his brief tour. "Let us be clear. All settlement activity is illegal anywhere in occupied territory and must be stopped."
During his recent trip to Israel, Vice President Joe Biden and the Obama administration were insulted and embarrassed by the Israeli government's announcement on March 10 that it had approved construction of an additional 1,600 homes in the illegal Israeli settlement named Ramat Shlomo.
The so-called Quartet of Middle East peace mediators, made up of representatives from the United Nations, United States, European Union and Russia, urged Israel to freeze all settlement activity after talks in Moscow on March 19. The Quartet issued a formal statement read by UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon, which said: "The Quartet urges the government of Israel to freeze all settlement activities… and to refrain from demolitions and evictions. It condemns the decision by the government of Israel to advance planning for new housing units in east Jerusalem."
The following day, Saturday March 20, Ban rejected Israel's distinction between East Jerusalem and the West Bank, noting that both are occupied lands. Israeli settlement building anywhere on occupied land is illegal and must be stopped, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon said after viewing some of the illegal Israeli settlements and the Wall of Apartheid near Jerusalem. "The world has condemned Israel's settlement plans in east Jerusalem," Ban told a news conference after his brief tour. "Let us be clear. All settlement activity is illegal anywhere in occupied territory and must be stopped."
Benjamin Netanyahu, however, continues to pretend that there is no legal difference between building on occupied land and construction in Israel. "Construction in Jerusalem is like construction in Tel Aviv and we have clarified that for the American government," Netanyahu said at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting on March 21. Netanyahu is scheduled to leave for Washington Sunday night with Defense Minister Ehud Barak to attend the AIPAC Policy Conference in Washington. Opposition leader Tzipi Livni and Infrastructure Minister Uzi Landau will also attend the convention. Netanyahu, Barak, Livni, and the others should all be arrested on arrival in the United States for war crimes and crimes of terror, such as 9-11. These are the senior Israelis responsible for the false-flag terror atrocity that brought us the fraudulent "War on Terror", which is really a war of terror.
An ultra-orthodox Jew from France shopping for a house in Ramat Shlomo
Ramat Shlomo is an orthodox Jewish settlement that has been built on illegally-occupied Palestinian land in what is called East Jerusalem. It is built right next to the Palestinian refugee camp called Shufat, which is surrounded by the Israeli Wall of Apartheid. To understand why the Israelis made such a provocative and insulting announcement during Biden's visit it is essential to understand that the two ministers involved in the decision are both rabbis from the ultra-orthodox Shas party, which is the political party of religious zealots that enabled the extreme right-wing Benjamin Netanyahu to form a coalition government in 2009.
The minister who made the announcement that was clearly meant to embarrass the Obama administration is Eli Yishai, Israel's Minister of Internal Affairs and chairman of the ultra-orthodox Shas party. The Interior Minister position is often demanded by Shas in such coalition governments as it allows them to control the building of settlements like Ramat Shlomo. It also lets them decide religion and state issues such as marriage and immigration laws. The Shas party has a very strong base of support among orthodox Jews in New York City. The son of Alvin K. Hellerstein, the orthodox Jewish judge who oversees all 9-11 litigation, for example, lives on an illegal Israeli settlement like Ramat Shlomo. Michael Chertoff, the Israeli national who oversaw the non-investigation of 9-11 is another orthodox Jew who comes from a family of Zionist Talmud-thumping rabbis. Orthodox Jews are inclined to be extremely racial in their thinking due to the doctrine of Jewish supremacism they are raised in. This is the real wall that blocks any peaceful settlement of the Israeli conflict with the native Palestinians, who live as second-class citizens on their own land under Zionist occupation.
Rabbi Eli Yishai is Israel's Interior Minister
The minister of housing and construction is Ariel Atias, the number two man in the party.
Ariel Atias, Minister of Housing and Construction, actively promotes a policy of racial and religious apartheid.
The Shas party has a history of criminal activity. Aryeh Deri, the former interior minister and chairman of Shas, was sentenced to three years in jail in 1999 for a range of corruption charges and bribery. Here he is seen after his release from prison in July 2002.
ISRAEL'S APARTHEID POLICY
Israeli Housing Minister Atias openly advocates segregation in Israel in order to create an apartheid state. Israeli construction policies under Minister Atias are designed to separate Jews from non-Jews, and religious Jews from secular Jews. On July 2, 2009, the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz reported that at a conference of the Israel Bar Association focused on reforming Israel's Land Administration, Atias had called for the segregation of Israel's Arab population from Jewish Israelis, saying that achieving this separation or apartheid state was "a national duty."

Atias, as minister of housing and construction, explained his policy that Israeli land should be marketed to each sector separately, in order to create segregation, not just between Jews and Arabs but also between other sectors, such as ultra-Orthodox and secular Jews. "There is a severe housing crisis among the young ultra-Orthodox couples, and in the general population. I, as an ultra-Orthodox Jew, don't think that religious Jews should have to live in the same neighborhood as secular couples, so as to avoid unnecessary friction. And since some 5,000 to 6,000 religious couples get married every year, a problem arises because they require a certain kind of community life that goes along with their lifestyle."
UNDERCOVER HIT SQUADS
On March 16, Palestinians from the nearby refugee camp of Shufat protested the illegal plan to build more Israeli homes on their land. News photos from the Israeli military/police response to the protest show how Israel uses undercover police that look and dress like Palestinians. This is important to understand because Israel often uses agents that look and act like Arabs. The Israelis probably used agents like these to create the cut-out for the "hijackers" of the false flag terrorism of 9-11.

The Israelis probably used agents like these to create the cut-out for the "hijackers" of the false flag terrorism of 9-11.
I find the Israeli use of undercover police in this protest very interesting because this three man team operated in a very similar way to how the three-man squad of military trained undercover cops assaulted me at my home in August 2006. (In my case, however, the cop with the gun would have had his handgun aimed at me on the ground. It would have been Darin Felgenhauer who, as the lethal officer, was prepared to shoot me in case the TASERing made me go berserk.)
Here the undercover cops are operating with protection of uniformed police. How is one to know that these men without uniforms are actually police? This is what I had to deal with when a three-man undercover tactical squad invaded my property in Hoffman Estates, threatened my family, and refused to identify themselves. I was very soon in the same position as the brave Palestinian in these photos.
With a young Palestinian in custody, the Israeli undercover cops give their victim the same kind of treatment I got from an undercover tactical squad in Hoffman Estates. The cop on top of the victim's head would have been Timothy Stoy, who knelt directly on my right temple for more than two minutes while the second cop (Michael Barber) applied the drive stun TASER shock of 50,000 volts to my lower back. The one with the gun would be the lethal officer, Darin Felgenhauer, prepared to deliver the fatal shot.
The Israeli undercover cops act just like the three-man tactical unit who assaulted me in Hoffman Estates on my property in front of my wife and 8-year-old daughter. After assaulting me, breaking my right arm, and TASERing me while I was pinned down in handcuffs - the undercover cops, who never identified themselves as police, charged me with assaulting them and resisting arrest. With a Zionist prosecutor, judge, and clerk calling the shots, I was found guilty on both charges and faced a year in Cook County Jail at sentencing. In my case, two of the three undercover cops (Stoy and Felgenhauer) apparently do not even have police uniforms. (See "Evidence of a Police Conspiracy to Injure Bollyn")
THE HEART OF THE CONFLICT
Dr. Nigel Parsons, a Middle East specialist and senior lecturer in politics, explained why the Israeli plan is so strongly rejected by Palestinians:
Dr. Nigel Parsons, a Middle East specialist and senior lecturer in politics, explained why the Israeli plan is so strongly rejected by Palestinians:
"This cuts right to the heart of the conflict. This is the essence of the problem - the state of Israel lending institutional support to housing for Jewish settlers while in the same location some of the world's most vulnerable people struggle in overcrowded conditions awaiting an end to the occupation and recognition of their rights…
"Restrictions on movement, unemployment, over-crowding, and separation from the West Bank have generated difficult conditions. However, offers of relocation have been refused by camp residents for fear of undermining the Palestinian right of return, a matter for final status negotiations between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organisation.
"In lieu of a final status agreement, Shu'fat captures Palestine in microcosm: an isolated, disempowered indigenous population and an overcrowded refugee camp confront advancing Israeli settlement."
The Shufat refugee camp is inside Israel's apartheid wall on land coveted by Jewish settlers.
Ramat Shlomo and Shufat are on a very large piece of occupied Palestinian land that has been illegally confiscated by the construction of the Israeli Wall of Apartheid. The green line is the legal border; the red and dotted line is the outline of the Wall.
Following Biden's visit to Israel, Thomas Friedman of the New York Times, a Zionist Jew, wrote an editorial titled "Driving Drunk in Jerusalem" in which he said that the vice president had missed a chance to send a powerful public signal:
He should have snapped his notebook shut, gotten right back on Air Force Two, flown home and left the following scribbled note behind: “Message from America to the Israeli government: Friends don’t let friends drive drunk. And right now, you’re driving drunk. You think you can embarrass your only true ally in the world, to satisfy some domestic political need, with no consequences? You have lost total contact with reality.
I couldn't agree more. The U.S. government has to end all support for the criminal and terrorist regime headed by Benjamin Netanyahu. These are, after all, the people who carried out 9-11.
Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu - What is there to laugh about?

Troisieme intifada : Quatre martyrs en 24 heures à Naplouse
Naplouse – CPI
www.palestine-info.info
The defusing of major Washington military threats is far from the only gain for Moscow in having a neutral but stable Ukrainian neighbor. Russia now vastly improves its ability to expand the one great power lever it has, outside of its remaining and still formidable nuclear strike force. That lever is to counter Washington’s relentless mililtary pressure by cleverly using export of the world’s largest reserves of natural gas, a fuel much in demand in Western Europe and even in UK where North Sea fields are in decline.
According to west European industry estimates, demand within the European Union countries for natural gas, especially for use in electric power generation where it is seen as a clean and very efficient fuel, is estimated to rise some 40% from today’s levels over the next twenty years. That increase in gas demand will coincide with a decline in current gas output from fields in the UK, Netherlands and elsewhere in the EU. [1] With Ukraine’s shift from hostile opposition to Moscow to what Yanukovych terms ‘non-aligned’ neutrality -- with an early emphasis on stabilizing Russian-Ukrainian gas geopolitics -- Moscow suddenly holds a far stronger array of economic options with which to neutralize Washington’s game of military and economic encirclement.
When Yushchenko and Georgia's Saakashvili took the reins of power in their respective countries and began taking steps with Washington to join NATO, one of the few means available for Putin’s Russia to re-establish some semblance of economic security was its energy card. Russia has by far the world's largest known reserves of natural gas. Interestingly, according to US Department of Energy estimates, the second largest gas reserves are in Iran, a country also high on Washington's target list.[2]
Today, Russia is clearly pursuing a fascinating, highly complex multi-pronged energy strategy. In effect it is using its energy as a diplomatic and political lever to ‘win friends and influence (EU) people.’ Putin’s successor as President, Dmitry Medvedev, is well suited to the role of overseeing gas pipeline geopolitics. Before becoming Russian President, he had been chairman of the state-owned Gazprom.
High-stakes Eurasian chess game
In a sense, the Eurasian land area today resembles a geopolitical game of three-dimensional chess between Russia, the European Union member countries, and Washington. The stakes of the game are a matter of life and death for Russia as a functioning nation, something clearly Medvedev and Putin well realize at this point.
US attempts at the military encirclement of Russia included not only the Rose and Orange Revolutions in 2003 and 2004, but also the highly provocative Pentagon missile ‘defense’ policy of placing US-controlled (not NATO-controlled) missiles in key former Warsaw Pact countries on Russia’s direct perimeter. As a result, Moscow has developed a remarkable and complex energy pipeline strategy to undercut a clearly hostile US military strategy that has used NATO encirclement, missile deployments, and ‘color revolutions,’ including the attempted destabilization of Iran during summer 2009 with a ‘Green Revolution’ or what Hillary Clinton flippantly dubbed the ‘Twitter Revolution.’ All of these US moves have attempted to isolate Russia and weaken her potential strategic allies across Eurasia.
For Russia, which recently surpassed Saudi Arabia as the world’s largest oil producer and exporter, sales of its natural gas abroad has a significant advantage in that Moscow is better able to control the price and market of gas. Unlike oil, whose price is tightly controlled by a cartel of Big Oil (and their Wall Street co-conspirators such as Goldman Sachs, Morgn Stanley, JP MorganChase), natural gas is far more difficult for Wall Street to manipulate on a short-term speculative basis as with oil.
Because gas, unlike oil, is dependent on construction of costly pipelines or LNG tankers and LNG port terminals, it tends to have a price fixed by bilateral long-term agreements between buyer and seller. That gives Moscow a degree of protection against events such as the brazen Wall Street manipulation of oil prices in 2008-2009 from a record high of $147 a barrel down to below $30 only months later, manipulations which devastated Moscow’s oil earnings at just the time the global financial crisis cut off credit to Russian banks and companies.
With Yanukovych now President in Ukraine, the way appears clear for a rational gas supply and transit contract from Russia’s Gazprom to and through Ukraine, and continuing on to western Europe. Fully half of Ukraine’s domestic energy comes from natural gas and the overwhelming bulk of that gas, some 75%, comes from Russia. [3]
At this point it seems a stable settlement has been reached between the Russian and Ukrainian governments on pricing for imported Russian gas. As of January 2010 Ukraine has agreed to pay prices close to western European levels for its gas, and at the same time she will get significantly higher transit fees from Russia’s state-owned Gazprom for transporting Russian gas through to western Europe. Some 80% of Russian gas exports went through Ukraine up until now. [4]
After the 2004 Ukraine Orange Revolution, Moscow’s western pipeline strategy until now has been to bypass both Ukraine and Poland through construction of an underwater gas pipeline, Nord Stream, running from Russia directly to Germany. Poland’s Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski is a Washington trained neo-conservative . As the previous Defense Minister, he played a central role in Poland’s missile defense agreement with Washington. Sikorski’s Poland today is bound closely to NATO, including agreeing to Washington’s militarily provocative missile deployment policies, and he is trying at every turn, so far unsuccessfully, to block construction of Nord Stream.
Nord Stream was especially vital for Russia when it looked possible that Washington might succeed in pulling Ukraine into NATO after the Orange Revolution. Today the alternative Baltic Sea pipeline assumes a different importance for Russia.
The Nord Stream gas pipeline from Russia’s port of Vyborg near St. Petersburg to Greifswald in northern Germany, goes beneath the Baltic Sea in international waters, completely bypassing both Ukraine and Poland. When Nord Stream was announced as a joint venture between two major German gas companies, E.ON and BASF with Russia’s Gazprom, and with former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder as board member, Sikorski, then Poland's Defense Minister, compared the German-Russian gas deal to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact -- the 1939 pact between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union which divided Poland between the two. [5] Sikorski’s logic was not so precise but his emotional imagery was.
In late 2009 Sweden and Finland joined Denmark in finally granting passage rights through their portion of the Baltic Sea for the pipeline. Construction of the multi-billion dollar project is due to begin this April and gas deliveries are to begin in 2011. When a second parallel pipeline, due to start construction in 2011, is completed, Nord Stream anticipates a full capacity of 55 billion cubic meters of gas a year, enough to fuel 25 million households in Europe, according to the Nord Stream website.
At the end of 2009 in Minsk, just as Nord Stream was clearing the final political hurdles, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev met with Belarus officials. Medvedev said that Russia was considering a second leg of its large Yamal-Europe gas pipeline through Belarus if future demand from western Europe warranted, stating, “I think the more possibilities there are for Russian gas supplies to Europe, the better it will be for both Europe and Russia.” [6]
In addition, in a notable geopolitical shift, the UK has just signed a long-term contract with Gazprom to import gas via the Nord Stream to meet more than 4% of UK gas demand by 2012, as Britain shifts from being a gas exporter to a gas importer.[7] Presently, in addition to the UK and Germany, Gazprom now has contracts to supply Denmark, The Netherlands, Belgium and France, making it a major new factor on the EU energy supply market.
South Stream strategy
Meanwhile, Washington, bitterly opposed to Nord Stream, attempted unsuccessfully to block it by proxy through back-door support for Poland and other EU opposition.
In a second major front in what could be called the Russia-USA pipeline wars, the US has initiatedcompeting proposals to build gas pipelines to serve the countries of southern and southeastern Europe. Here Washington is openly backing what is called the Nabucco pipeline project. Moscow is promoting what it calls its South Stream project, the southern Eurasian sister to the Nord Stream in the north of Europe.
On December 12, 2009 the government of Bulgaria, a former Warsaw Pact member now in NATO and the EU, announced that it would participate in Moscow’s South Stream project despite considerable pressure from Washington.
In June 2007, Gazprom and Italy’s ENI concern signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the South Stream project to design, finance, construct and manage the South Stream. ENI, Italy’s largest industrial company, created in the 1950’s by Italy’s legendary Enrico Mattei, is also partly state-owned and has been involved in the Russian gas business since the early 1970’s.
South Stream’s offshore section is to run under the Black Sea from the Russian coast to the Bulgarian coast, a length of around 550 miles at a maximum depth over two kilometers and have a full capacity of 63 billion cubic meters, even larger than Nord Stream.
From Bulgaria, South Stream will split into two arms, the northern section stretching to Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Austria and the southern arm going through Bulgaria to southern Italy. The new pipeline is expected to become operational in 2013.
Gazprom has an agreement to provide Italy with gas until 2035 and South Stream will be the main vehicle for that. South Stream AG, the 50-50 Gazprom-ENI joint venture is registered in Switzerland. To date Gazprom has signed transit agreements for the pipeline with the Republic of Serbia and Greece and Hungary. [8] In January 2008, Gazprom bought 51% of the Serbian state oil monopoly NIS to secure its presence there.
An indication of the pressure that Washington has put on Bulgaria over its participation in Russia’s South Stream is that Bulgaria also signed up to take part in the Nabucco project in December 2009. Commenting on the dual signings, Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Boyko Borisov told the press, “Nabucco is a priority of the European Union while the Russian South Stream is moving forward very quickly and many European countries are joining it almost daily.” [9]
All potential gas suppliers to the US-backed Nabucco pipeline to the EU are in doubt as Moscow outflanks USA

Deux adolescents palestiniens ont été tués, aujourd'hui à midi, le dimanche 21/3, par les tirs des forces occupantes israéliennes sur un barrage militaire sioniste près du village d'Orta, au sud-est de la ville de Naplouse, au nord de la Cisjordanie occupée, élevant le nombre des martyrs dans cette ville à 4 jeunes durant les dernières 24 heures.
Un porte-parole de l'armée sioniste a prétendu que les deux Palestiniens ont tenté de poignarder un soldat sioniste sur le barrage avant que les soldats sionistes n'ouvrent le feu sur eux, en les tuant directement.
Des sources palestiniennes ont nié les affirmations sionistes affirmant que les deux martyrs Mohamed Kouarek, 19 ans, et Salah Kouarek, 19 ans, sont des fermiers et qu'ils transportaient des matières agricoles.
L'officier de secours palestinien, Ahmed Jebril, a affirmé que les soldats de l'occupation ont paralysé le déplacement de l'ambulance qui transportait les martyrs après avoir reçu leurs corps.
Des témoins oculaires ont dit que les forces occupantes ont annoncé que l'endroit de cet événement est considéré comme une région militaire fermée, au moment où les soldats sionistes se sont déployés dans la région d'Orta.

That’s about to change dramatically however, with the implementation of Russia’s long-term pipeline strategy, a strategy designed to make Russia less vulnerable to future political shifts such as the 2004 Ukraine Orange Revolution.

With Nord Stream’s primary gas route directly from Russia to its major clients in Germany, along with a stable transit agreement through Ukraine, the likelihood of a disrupted supply of Gazprom deliveries to northern Europe becomes remote. Nord Stream will allow Moscow’s Gazprom to use a more flexible gas diplomacy and to greatly lessen future vulnerability to transit country supply disruptions such as it has had in recent years from a hostile Ukraine.
At the end of 2009 in Minsk, just as Nord Stream was clearing the final political hurdles, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev met with Belarus officials. Medvedev said that Russia was considering a second leg of its large Yamal-Europe gas pipeline through Belarus if future demand from western Europe warranted, stating, “I think the more possibilities there are for Russian gas supplies to Europe, the better it will be for both Europe and Russia.” [6]

ENI, Italy’s largest industrial company, created in the 1950’s by Italy’s legendary Enrico Mattei, is also partly state-owned and has been involved in the Russian gas business since the early 1970’s.
South Stream’s offshore section is to run under the Black Sea from the Russian coast to the Bulgarian coast, a length of around 550 miles at a maximum depth over two kilometers and have a full capacity of 63 billion cubic meters, even larger than Nord Stream.
From Bulgaria, South Stream will split into two arms, the northern section stretching to Romania, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Austria and the southern arm going through Bulgaria to southern Italy. The new pipeline is expected to become operational in 2013.
Gazprom has an agreement to provide Italy with gas until 2035 and South Stream will be the main vehicle for that. South Stream AG, the 50-50 Gazprom-ENI joint venture is registered in Switzerland. To date Gazprom has signed transit agreements for the pipeline with the Republic of Serbia and Greece and Hungary. [8] In January 2008, Gazprom bought 51% of the Serbian state oil monopoly NIS to secure its presence there.
An indication of the pressure that Washington has put on Bulgaria over its participation in Russia’s South Stream is that Bulgaria also signed up to take part in the Nabucco project in December 2009. Commenting on the dual signings, Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Boyko Borisov told the press, “Nabucco is a priority of the European Union while the Russian South Stream is moving forward very quickly and many European countries are joining it almost daily.” [9]
On March 3, 2010 the new Croatian government of Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor signed an agreement in Moscow with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin allowing the pipeline to pass through Croatian territory, setting up a 50-50 joint venture to realize the construction.
Kosor said that the agreement ‘On the Construction and Exploitation of a Gas Pipeline on Croatian Territory’ creates a legal basis for Croatia's involvement in South Stream, allowing the parties to set up a 50/50 joint venture. Two days later, in what seemed a snowballing enthusiasm for Gazprom’s project, the Bosnian Serb Republic announced that it, too, will join the South Stream gas pipeline project. It proposes to build a 480 km pipeline in northern Bosnia and link it to the South Stream pipeline, bringing the total number of participating countries that have signed deals with Gazprom to seven. [10]
In addition to Serb Bosnia, Gazprom’s partners now include Bulgaria, Hungary, Greece, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia. It almost retraces the Balkan route of the controversial Berlin-to-Baghdad railway which played such a decisive geopolitical role in British machinations that ultimately led to World War I following the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian heir to the throne, Archduke Francis Ferdinand.[11]
The central issue for the two competing pipeline projects, South Stream and Nabucco, is not who will buy their gas. As noted, natural gas demand across Europe is expected to rise dramatically in coming years. Rather it’s the question of where the gas will come from to fill the pipeline. Here Moscow now clearly holds the trump cards.
In addition to gas directly from Russia’s gas fields, a major component of South Stream gas is to come from Turkmenistan and from Azerbaijan and possibly at some point from Iran. In December 2009 Russian President Dmitry Medvedev went to Turkmenistan to sign major agreements on energy cooperation.
Until the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, Turkmenistan was a republic of the Soviet Union, the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic, Turkmen SSR. It is bordered by Afghanistan to the southeast, Iran to the south and southwest, Uzbekistan to the east and northeast, Kazakhstan to the north and northwest and the Caspian Sea to the west. Russia’s Gazprom until now has been the dominant economic partner of the country, which has newly confirmed huge gas reserves. Turkmen gas has been vital for the supply chain of Gazprom and dates back to the era when Turkmenistan was an integral part of the Soviet Union and the Soviet economic infrastructure.
When ’President for Life,’ Saparmurat Niyazov, known as ‘Türkmenbaşy’ or ‘leader of the Turkmens,’ died unexpectedly in December 2006, Washington began entertaining hopes of weaning the new President, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow, away from Russia and into the US orbit. To date they have met with little success.
The Medvedev-Berdimuhamedow December agreements included new agreements for Turkmen long-term gas supplies to Gazprom which will fill the South Stream pipeline either directly or by replacing Russian gas to the same -- meaning Nabucco is left out in the cold there.
Nabucco high and dry...
The active pipeline diplomacy of Russia and Gazprom in recent months has dealt a devastating blow to Washington’s favored alternative, Nabucco, which is planned to run from the Caspian region and Middle East via Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary with Austria and further on to Central and Western European gas markets, some 3,300 km, starting at the Georgian-Turkish and/or Iranian-Turkish border. End station would be Baumgarten in Austria. The project is parallel to the existing US-backed Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum oil pipeline and could transport 20 billion cubic meters of gas a year. Two-thirds of the pipeline would pass through Turkish territory.
Following a two day visit to Ankara in April 2009, US President Obama appeared to have won a major victory for Nabucco when Turkey’s President Erdogan agreed to sign on to the project in July 2009, after several years of delay. Nabucco is an integral part of a US strategy of total energy control over both the EU and all Eurasia. It explicitly has been conceived to run entirely independent of Russian territory and is aimed at weakening the energy ties between Russia and Western Europe. Those energy ties were considered a significant reason why the German government along with France refused to back Washington’s push to bring Ukraine and Georgia into NATO.
Today the future of Nabucco is in grave doubt. The problem is that Russia’s Gazprom has all but locked up long-term gas contracts with all the potential suppliers of gas for Nabucco, leaving Nabucco high and dry. Thus, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran and Iraq are being touted as potential suppliers to Nabucco.
Until now the main gas supply for Nabucco should be Azerbaijan, the source of large oil reserves captured by a BP-led Anglo-American consortium bringing Baku oil from the Caspian Sea to the west, independent of Russia. That Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline was a major reason Washington backed the 2004 Georgian ‘Rose Revolution’ that put dictator Mikhail Saakashvili into power.
In July 2009 Russia’s Medvedev and Gazprom CEO Alexei Miller went to Baku and signed a long-term contract to buy all the gas from the Azeri Shah Deniz-2 offshore field, the same field Nabucco hopes to tap for its pipeline. Azerbaijan’s President Aliyev seems to be playing a cat-and-mouse game with both Russia and EU-Washington, to play one off against the other for the highest price. Gazprom agreed to pay an unusually high price of $350 per thousand cubic meters for their Shah Deniz gas, a clear political not economic decision by Moscow that owns controlling interest in Gazprom. [12] In early January 2010, the Azeri government also announced sale of a portion of its gas to neighboring Iran, another blow to Nabucco supply.[13]
Even were Azerbaijan to agree to sell gas and Nabucco to buy it on competitive terms to Gazprom, industry sources say the Azeri gas alone would not suffice to fill the pipeline. Where could the remaining gas come from? One possible answer is Iraq; the second is Iran. Both would entail huge geopolitical problems for Washington, to put it mildly.
Currently, even a minimal agreement between Turkey and Azerbaijan for delivery of Azeri gas to Nabucco is in serious doubt. Despite the highly publicized Turkish government decision in 2009 to finally join Nabucco, the vital talks between Turkey and the Azeri government remain stalemated. Despite repeated interventions from US Special Envoy on Eurasian Energy Richard Morningstar to force a final deal, talks remain deadlocked as of this writing. Adding to the woes of Washington’s Nabucco dreams, one of the key partners of the Nabucco, Austria’s OMV, told the Dow Jones wire service at the end of January that the Nabucco pipeline would not be built if demand is too low.[14]
In terms of other options being proposed by some in Washington, for Iraqi gas to flow into Nabucco it would have to go through the Kurdish regions of both Iraq and of Turkey, giving the Kurdish minorities a potential major new revenue source, something not so very welcome in Istanbul. Iran as a potential gas source is at present not in the Washington calculus because of the tensions over Iranian nuclear plans, but more because of Iran’s enormous influence over the future of Iraq, where they exercise significant influence on the majority Shi’ite population there.
Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, though both have significant natural gas reserves, are even more politically and geographically unlikely as sources of gas for essentially an anti-Russian project. Their distance would mean skyrocketing costs, pricing it far above gas from Gazprom’s South Stream.
In a true exercise of Byzantine diplomacy, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan invited both Russia and Iran to join the Nabucco project. According to RIA Novosti, Erdogan stated, “We want Iran to join the project when conditions will allow, and also hope for Russia’s participation in it.” Then, just weeks after a formal signing of the Nabucco agreement with the US, during Putin's visit to Ankara in August 2009, Turkey granted Russia's state-run natural-gas monopoly Gazprom use of its territorial waters in the Black Sea, where Moscow wants to route its South Stream pipeline to deliver gas to Eastern and Southern Europe. In exchange, Gazprom agreed to build a pipeline across Turkey from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean.[15]
In early January 2010, the Turkish government furthered its growing ties with Russia during a two day visit to Moscow by Prime Minister Erdogan during which energy and the South Caucasus were discussed. Washington’s Radio Liberty calls it a “new strategic alliance“ between the once-bitter Cold War rivals. Significantly, Turkey is also in NATO. [16]
This is no passing fad. Press in both countries speak openly of a Russo-Turkish “strategic partnership.“ [17] Today Turkey is Russia’s largest market for export of Russian oil and gas combined. As well the two countries are discussing plans for Russia to build Turkey’s first nuclear power plant to meet Turkey’s electricity demand. Bilateral Turkish-Russian trade last year reached $38 billion making Russia Turkey’s largest trade partner. The figure is expected to grow some 300% over the next five years, creating a solid and expanding pro-Russia trade lobby in Turkey. The two countries are in detailed negotiation over some $30 billion in new trade agreements, including Turkey’s nuclear power plant, as well as the South Stream, Blue Stream Turkish-Russian gas pipelines and a Samsun-Ceyhan oil pipeline from Russia to Turkey’s Mediterranean coast.[18]
Indicating how many land mines could explode in the face of Nabucco’s backers, especially in Washington, the Turkish parliament on March 4, 2010 approved a bill on the construction of the Nabucco pipeline. But the same day the US House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee passed a non-binding resolution calling the World War I-era killing of Armenians genocide.
The vote led to the immediate recall of Turkey’s Ambassador to Washington as a protest, and will possibly lead to even closer cooperation between Moscow and Ankara on matters of mutual interest, including South Stream.
The European Union has just approved a $3 billion general economic stimulus that includes $273 million for Nabucco. At an estimated final cost of $11 billion, that is hardly convincing support for Nabucco. Moreover, the money is being frozen until a final go-ahead for Nabucco is clear, indicating that the countries of the EU are hardly as eager as Washington to back the risky Nabucco counter to Moscow’s South Stream. The EU has said if there is no firm agreement between Nabucco backers and Turkmenistan for gas supply within six months, the money will be used for other projects. [19]
The combination of neutralizing the threat of Ukraine in NATO, starting construction of the strategically important Nord Stream Russian pipeline to Germany and westwards, and Russia advancing its South Stream gas pipeline plans has effectively rendered Washington’s Nabucco pipeline counter-strategy impotent. These developments ensure that Russia’s role as Europe’s largest energy supplier is secure. In recent years Russia has grown to become the source for almost 30% of EU oil imports and by far the largest share of its natural gas.[20] That has enormous strategic geopolitical significance, a point not missed in Washington.
However, with its role in Europe seemingly shored up and the Orange Revolution de facto rolled back, Russia’s policymakers are increasingly turning to the east and the energy demands of its cooperation partner and former Cold War foe, China.
Moscow Goes East
At the end of 2009, precisely as planned and to the surprise of Washington, Russia opened the East Siberia-Pacific Ocean (ESPO) oil pipeline, a four-year construction project costing some $14 billion. The pipeline now allows Russia to export oil directly from its East Siberia fields to China as well as South Korea and Japan, a major step in closer economic integration between especially Russia and China. The pipe now runs to Skovorodino just north of the Chinese border on the Bolshoy Never River. From here at present the oil is loaded onto rail tank cars for transport to the Pacific port of Kozmino near Vladivostok. The port alone cost $2 billion to build, has capacity to handle 300,000 barrels of crude per day, with oil quality comparable to that of Middle Eastern oil blends now dominating the market. Transneft, the Russian state pipeline monopoly, spent another $12 billion to lay the 2,700-km ESPO pipeline through east Siberian wilderness, to connect the area's various oil fields being developed by Russian oil majors Rosneft, TNK-BP and Surgutneftegaz.
The final link of pipeline to the port of Kozmino is due to be completed in 2014, costing an added $10 billion and resulting in a pipeline almost 4800 kilometers long, a distance greater than from Los Angeles to New York. Moscow and Beijing have also agreed to build a spur pipeline from Skovorodino to Daqing in China’s Heilongjiang province in northeastern China, the center of its energy and petrochemical industry and site of China’s largest oilfield. When completed, the pipeline will carry eastward an annual 80 mm tons of oil from Siberia, including 15 mm tons to China through an additional spur.
An indication of the priority that energy-hungry China places on Russian oil, China has loaned $25 billion to Russia in exchange for oil deliveries over the next two decades. In February 2009, when world oil prices dropped to $25 a barrel from a record high $147 some six months before, Russian oil giant Rosneft and pipeline operator Transneft were on the brink of collapse. Beijing, in a deft and swift move to insure future oil from Russia’s East Siberia fields, stepped in and through the state-owned Chinese Development Bank offered loans to Rosneft and Transneft of $10 billion and $15 billion respectively, a $25 billion dollar investment to accelerate the construction of the pacific pipeline. For its part, Russia agreed to develop further new fields, build the ESPO leg for Daqing from Skorovodino to the Chinese border, a distance of some 43 miles, and supply China with at least 300,000 barrels of highly in-demand sweet or low sulfur crude oil per day.[21]
Beyond the Russian border, in the Chinese interior, Beijing will construct a domestic pipeline approximately 600 miles long to Daqing. The Chinese loan was made at 6% interest and would require Russian oil be sold to China for $22 per barrel. Today the average international oil price has recovered to some $80 a barrel, meaning China has locked in a golden prize. Rather than reneg on the price deal, Moscow has clearly decided the strategic advantages of the China link outweigh possible revenue loss. It retains price control over the rest of the oil flowing through the ESPO pipeline on to the Pacific for other Asian markets.

It retains price control over the rest of the oil flowing through the ESPO pipeline on to the Pacific for other Asian markets.
Whereas the energy markets of Western Europe pose a relatively stagnant demand prospect, those of China and Asia are booming. Moscow is making a major shift eastwards in light of that fact. At the end of 2009, the Russian government released a comprehensive energy report entitled “Energy Blueprint for 2030.” It calls for substantial domestic investment in the East Siberian fields, and speaks of a shift in oil exports toward Northeast Asia, with the share of the Asia Pacific region in Russian exports growing from 8% in 2008 to 25% over the next years.[22] That will have significant political consequences for both Russia and Asia, especially China.
China passed Japan several years ago to become the world’s second major oil importing nation after the United States. The issue of Chinese energy security is of such paramount importance for China that Prime Minister Wen Jaibao has just been named to head a cross-ministry National Energy Council to coordinate all issues of China’s energy policy. [23]
Russian begins LNG deliveries for Asia
A few months before the completion of the ESPO oil pipeline to the Pacific, Russia began its first ever deliveries of Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) from the Gazprom-led Sakhalin-II project, a joint venture that includes Japan’s Mitsui and Mitsubishi as well as the Anglo-Dutch Shell. For Russia the project will give her invaluable experience in the rapidly expanding global LNG market, a market not dependent on fixed long-term pipeline construction.
China has also made forays into other countries in the former Soviet Union area to secure its energy needs. Late in 2009 the first stage of a pipeline, known variously as the Central Asia–China Gas Pipeline or the Turkmenistan–China Gas Pipeline, was completed. It brings natural gas from Turkmenistan across Uzbekistan to southern Kazakhstan parallel to the existing Bukhara-Tashkent-Bishkek-Almaty pipeline. [24]
Within China, the pipeline connects with the existing West-East Gas Pipeline that crosses China and supplies cities as far as Shanghai and Hong Kong. Some 13 billion cubic meters (bcm) are supposed to go through the pipeline in 2010, increasing to over 40 bcm by 2013. Ultimately the pipeline could supply more than half of China’s current natural gas consumption.
It marked the first pipeline to bring Central Asian natural gas to China. The pipeline from Turkmenistan will be connected to a branch line from western Kazakhstan, scheduled to open in 2011 and which will supply natural gas from several Kazakh fields to Alashankou in China’s Xinjiang Province.[25] Little wonder that Chinese authorities were none too pleased with ethnic Uighur riots in July of 2009, which the Chinese government claimed was instigated by the Washington-based World Uyghur Congress (WUC) and its leader Rebiya Kadeer, who reportedly has close ties to the US Congress’ regime-change NGO, the National Endowment for Democracy.[26] Xinjiang is becoming ever more strategically important to future Chinese energy flows.
Far from a threat to Russia’s energy strategy as some western commentators claim, the Turkmen-China gas pipeline in effect serves to deepen the economic ties within the countries of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, SCO, at the same time it locks up for China a major portion of Turkmen gas that might have gone to the floundering Nabucco pipeline favored by Washington. That can only be to the geopolitical advantage of Russia which would lose a major economic influence were Nabucco to succeed.
The SCO, founded in 2001 in Shanghai by the heads of state of China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, has evolved into what might be called Halford Mackinder’s worst nightmare—a vehicle for welding close economic and political cooperation of the key Eurasian land powers independently of the United States. In his widely-publicized 1997 book, The Grand Chessboard, former US National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski bluntly stated, “It is imperative that no Eurasian challenger emerges capable of dominating Eurasia and thus of also challenging America. The formulation of a comprehensive and integrated Eurasian geostrategy is therefore the purpose of this book.”[27] He added the warning, “Henceforth, the United States may have to determine how to cope with regional coalitions that seek to push America out of Eurasia, thereby threatening America's status as a global power.”[28] In the wake of the events of September 2001, events which many Russian intelligence experts doubted to be the work of a rag-tag band of Muslim Al Qaeda fanatics, the SCO has begun to take the character of the very threat that Brzezinski, a student of Mackinder, warned of. In a recent interview on The Real News, Brzezinski also bemoaned the lack of any coherent Eurasian strategy, notably in Afghanistan and Pakistan, on the part of the Obama Administration.
Russia also moves North to the Arctic Circle
Completing Russia’s new geopolitical energy strategy, the remaining move is to the north, in the direction above the Arctic Circle.
In August 2007, then-Russian President Vladimir Putin caught the notice of NATO and Washington when he announced that two Russian submarines had symbolically planted the Russian flag at a depth of over 4 kilometers on the Arctic Ocean floor, laying claim to the seabed resources. Then in March 2009 Russia announced that it would establish military bases along the northern coastline. New US NATO Supreme Commander Admiral James Stavridis expressed concern that Russian presence in the Arctic could pose serious problems for NATO. [29]
In April 2009, the state-owned Russian news service RIA Novosti reported that the Russian Security Council had published an official policy paper on its Web site titled, "The fundamentals of Russian state policy in the Arctic up to 2020 and beyond." The paper described the principles guiding Russian policy in the arctic, saying it would involve establishing significant Russian army, border and coastal guard forces there "to guarantee Russia's military security in diverse military and political circumstances," according to the report.[30]
In addition to staking claim to some of the world’s largest untapped oil and gas resources, Russia is clearly moving to pre-empt a further US expansion of its misleadingly named missile ‘defense’ to the Arctic Circle in echoes of the old Cold War era. Last September Dmitry Rogozin, Russia's envoy to NATO, told Vesti 24 television channel that the Northern Sea Route through the Arctic might provide the United States with an effective theater to position shipboard missile defenses to counter Russian weapons. His remarks followed the announcement by US President Barack Obama that the US would place such defenses on cruisers as a more technically advanced alternative.[31]
A 2008 estimate by the US Government’s US Geological Survey (USGS) concluded that the area north of the Arctic Circle contains staggeringly large volumes of oil and natural gas. They estimated that more than 70% of the region’s undiscovered oil resources occur in five provinces: Arctic Alaska, Amerasia Basin, East Greenland Rift Basins, East Barents Basins, and West Greenland-East Canada. More than 70% of the undiscovered natural gas is believed located in three provinces, the West Siberian Basin, the East Barents Basins, and Arctic Alaska. Some 84% of the undiscovered oil and gas occurs offshore. The total undiscovered conventional oil and gas resources of the Arctic are estimated to be approximately 90 billion barrels of oil, 1,669 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and 44 billion barrels of natural gas liquids.[32] The main potential beneficiary is likely to be Russia which has the largest share of territory in the region.
Contrary to widely held beliefs in the west, the Cold War did not end with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 or the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, at least not for Washington. Seeing the opportunity to expand the reach of US military and political power, the Pentagon began a systematic modernization of its nuclear arsenal and a step-wise extension of NATO membership right to the doorstep of Moscow, something that then-Secretary of State James Baker III had pledged to Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev would not happen. [33] Washington lied. During the chaos of the Yeltsin years, Russia’s economy collapsed under IMF-mandated ‘shock therapy’ and systematic looting by western companies in cahoots with a handful of newly created Russian oligarchs.
The re-emergence of Russia as a factor in world politics, however weakened from the economic shocks of the past two decades, has been based on a strategy that obviously has drawn from principles of asymetric warfare, economic as well as military. Russia’s present military preparedness is no match for the awesome Pentagon power projection. However, she still maintains the only nuclear strike force on the planet that is capable of posing a mortal threat to the military power of the Pentagon. In cooperation with China and its other Eurasian SCO partners, Russia is clearly using its energy as a geopolitical lever of the first order.
The recent events in Ukraine and the rollback there of the ill-fated Washington Orange Revolution, in the context now of Moscow’s comprehensive energy politics, present Washington strategists with a grave challenge to their assumed global “Full Spectrum” dominance. The US debacle in Afghanistan and the uneasy state of affairs in US-occupied Iraq have done far more than any Russian military challenge to undermine the global influence of the United States as sole decision maker of a ‘unipolar world.’

Le Sheykh Ali Belhaj: Le régime saoudien entrave les manifestations de soutien à Al Aqsa
« Il incombe aux ulémas où qu’ils soient de défendre AlAqsa, et surtout aux ulémas saoudiens » a-t-il assuré, les invitant à ne pas décréter des fatwas qui appellent à la soumission et interdisent les manifestations de protestation.
« Le royaume utilise ses fonds et ses chaînes satellitaires pour rendre la nation impuissante et répandre la soumission dans ses rangs» a-t-il regretté.
Belhaj a indiqué avoir lancé un appel aux ulémas de tout le monde musulman, pour qu’ils décrètent une fatwa en appelant à des mouvements de masse contre ce qui se passe ces derniers temps à Jérusalem AlQuds occupée.
Parcours : République vers Bastille Que ce samedi soit un jour de mobilisation pour soutenir la ville d'Al-Quds et la sainte mosquée Al-Aqsa! L’indifférence de l’Occident et des musulmans face à la Tragédie palestinienne restera à jamais au panthéon de l’injustice commise par l’humanité.

The Lehman Scam and Fuld's Mossad Connection
www.bollyn.com
Dylan Ratigan of MSNBC explains how the Lehman scam worked. In this 10-minute video he explains the fraud at Richard S. Fuld's company and who was responsible. Eliot Spitzer calls for "handcuffs" and criminal prosecution of those who were in the responsible positions at the Fed, namely Timothy Geithner and Ben Shalom Bernanke. As I wrote more than a year ago, the A.I.G. and Lehman meltdowns were not accidental - they were carefully designed crimes. Richard S. Fuld and Maurice Greenberg of A.I.G. are criminals, as are the people at the Federal Reserve who allowed their criminal conduct and then bailed them out - with taxpayer funds. Will Geithner and Bernanke face criminal charges?

Nouvelles provocations des enragés de Tel Aviv: La destruction de lieux saints musulmans conduit tout droit vers une guerre genéralisée
Israël lance des invitations pour assister à l’ouverture d’une synagogue à l’intérieur de la Mosquée Aqsa
ALERTE
Ces sources ont ajouté que l’occupation est en pleins préparatifs pour cette journée, ajoutant que selon la prophétie d’un rabbin juif du 18ème siècle, cette synagogue sera établie à la date mentionnée sur les ruines de la Mosquée Aqsa.
L’occupation a la forte intention de démolir la Mosquée, mais les conditions actuelles ne sont pas favorables pour le faire, ont noté les sources.
Les sources ont précisé qu’il y a un accord entre le gouvernement et les partis en Israël pour l’ouverture de cette synagogue, ainsi qu’une coopération palestinienne de l’autorité de Mahmoud Abbas pour faciliter la cérémonie d’ouverture et empêcher toute initiative islamique pour défendre la Mosquée.
A la lumière des préparatifs israéliens pour réprimer toute initiative de défense de la sainte Mosquée ce jour là, l’autorité d’occupation empêche tous les fidèles jérusalémites de moins de 50 ans d’entrer à la Mosquée et a lancé une vaste campagne d’arrestations contre les jeunes palestiniens de la ville sainte.
Pour leur part, les milices d’Abbas ont kidnappé hier jeudi 14 citoyens palestiniens supposés affiliés au Hamas dans les gouvernorats de Tulkarem, Naplouse, Jenin et Qalqiliya.

Israel, Sarkosy et la preparation psychologique a la guerre civile en France
Nous nous sommes récemment adressés aux Chrétiens de France dans le cadre de la lutte contre le sionisme. Nous lançons aujourd'hui un appel à la mobilisation des Musulmans de France.
Le Parti Anti Sioniste est un parti politique français opposé à toute forme de communautarisme. Les communautarismes ne peuvent que semer la discorde et la haine pour le seul profit d’une idéologie que nous combattons : le sionisme. Il est d’ailleurs intéressant d’observer que lors du récent débat sur l’identité nationale, tous ceux qui se sentent israéliens sur le territoire français n’ont jamais été cités et que l’on s’est bien gardé de leur demander : quelle est votre identité nationale ?
En revanche, des millions de Français, eux, se sont sentis non seulement concernés mais visés, soupçonnés, voire parfois accusés. Ce sont ces fameux « dérapages » qui, à force de se répéter, finiront par être la ligne droite d’une certaine classe politique.
Ces millions de Français ont eu le sentiment que leur qualité de citoyens français était remise en cause. Ces Français sont appelés différemment selon les cas : « Français d’origine maghrébine, Beurs, Arabes, Musulmans, Islamistes… ». Dans l’immense majorité des cas, c’est en réalité le musulman qui est pointé du doigt. Or, l’Islam est une religion universelle qui englobe également des Européens, des Africains, des Asiatiques, y compris des Nord-Américains ! C’est donc aux Musulmans que nous nous adressons, à tous ceux qui, en France, ont senti peser sur eux je ne sais trop quel soupçon-accusation pendant ce débat sur l’identité.
Ce débat s’est terminé comme il le méritait, par une sorte de flop, qui a quand même eu le temps de répandre ses propos de haine et de discorde à l’égard d’un groupe de Français. A ces compatriotes, nous voulons redire que la France où ils sont nés et où ils ont grandi est tombée aujourd’hui entre les mains d’un lobby. Il s’agit du lobby sioniste et de son idéologie raciste et d’apartheid. Ce lobby ne survit qu’en divisant et en opposant les autres composantes de la Nation. Ce lobby, malheureusement, est parvenu par un mélange de menaces, chantages et privilèges, à ligoter la classe politique française. C’est pourquoi les partis du Système ne le dénoncent jamais, cherchant même à nous faire croire qu’il n’existe pas.
En réalité, tous ces partis, d’une manière ou d’une autre, sont « tenus ». Il suffit pour s’en convaincre de constater leur soumission au CRIF et à Israël.
A l’approche des élections régionales, ces partis sionistes (qui se partagent le pouvoir à tour de rôle depuis trente ans) vont faire appel à vos voix : promesses par ci, déclarations antiracistes par là. Sachez leur montrer que vous n’êtes pas dupes et boycottez les lors de ces élections. Toutes les formes sont bonnes : abstention, vote nul (par exemple en écrivant sur le bulletin de votre choix : « Je vote Parti Anti Sioniste »), vote blanc. Seule cette attitude politique leur montrera que vous n’êtes plus « de la chair à canon électoral » que l’on manipule comme on veut. Que tous ceux qui se sont sentis visés ces derniers temps refusent massivement de participer à cette élection dont le résultat n’empêchera ni le chômage, ni la pauvreté, ni l’exclusion et encore moins le lobby sioniste de gouverner notre pays.

KSM Conspiracy Charges Analyzed and Debunked
Cyberwar declared as China hunts for the West’s intelligence
The attacks have also hit government and military institutions in the United States, where analysts said that the West had no effective response and that EU systems were especially vulnerable because most cyber security efforts were left to member states.
Nato diplomatic sources told The Times: “Everyone has been made aware that the Chinese have become very active with cyber-attacks and we’re now getting regular warnings from the office for internal security.” The sources said that the number of attacks had increased significantly over the past 12 months, with China among the most active players.
In the US, an official report released on Friday said the number of attacks on Congress and other government agencies had risen exponentially in the past year to an estimated 1.6 billion every month.
The Chinese cyber-penetration of key offices in both Nato and the EU has led to restrictions in the normal flow of intelligence because there are concerns that secret intelligence reports might be vulnerable.
Sources at the Office for Cyber Security at the Cabinet Office in London, set up last year, said there were two forms of attack: those focusing on disrupting computer systems and others involving “fishing trips” for sensitive information. A special team has been set up at GCHQ, the government communications headquarters in Gloucestershire, to counter the growing cyber-threat affecting intelligence material. The team becomes operational this month.
British and American cyber defences are among the most sophisticated in the world, but “the EU is less competent”, James Lewis, of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, said. “The porousness of the European institutions makes them a good target for penetration. They are of interest to the Chinese on issues from arms sales and nuclear non-proliferation to Tibet and energy.”
The lack of routine intelligencesharing between the US and the EU also contributes to the vulnerability of European systems, another analyst said. “Because of Britain’s intelligence-sharing relationship with America our systems have to be up to their standards in a way that some of the European systems don’t,” he explained.
Jonathan Evans, Director-General of MI5, warned in 2007 that several states were actively involved in large-scale cyber-attacks. Although he did not specify which states were involved, security officials have indicated that China now poses the gravest threat. Beijing has denied making such attacks.
Robert Mueller, FBI Director, has warned that, in addition to the danger of foreign states making cyber-attacks, al-Qaeda could in the future pose a similar threat. In a speech to a security conference last week, Mr Mueller said terrorist groups had used the internet to recruit members and to plan attacks, but added: “Terrorists have \ shown a clear interest in pursuing hacking skills and they will either train their own recruits or hire outsiders with an eye towards combining physical attacks with cyber-attacks.”

The Media Calls him Al Qaeda, but his Jewish Father calls him Adam Pearlman
Monday, 04 September 2006
According to Xymphora, a very credible Internet blog that cited/sourced the Times and Post articles, the Times noted in a “characteristically coy” manner:
“In 1995, at 17, Adam Gadahn moved out of the family's Winchester home, his father said, because ‘he wanted out of the country and wanted to be in the city,’ where he lived with relatives in Garden Grove.[2]”
Xymphora then presents what is referred to as the details of the case, provided by the Washington Post, which the LA Times conveniently neglected to mention and that was exactly who these relatives were.
“While living with his grandparents in suburban Santa Ana, he made his first trip to the nearby mosque in 1995. He introduced himself as Yahya - the Arabic name for John the Baptist, revered as a great prophet in Islam.”
That’s right reader, Gadahn/Pearlman’s “relatives,” were actually his grandparents. Now here’s the interesting part, Pearlman’s grandfather was a sitting board member on the Anti-Defamation League, a notoriously anti-Gentile organization that has historically attacked anything and everything that could in any way be considered Christian, wholesome, virtuous, honorable, etc… The ADL is the primary force behind the assault on Mel Gibson,[3] anytime anyone utters what could in any way be perceived as anything less than pro-Jewish, Abraham Foxman, the Director of the ADL, immediately begins a well orchestrated smear campaign, designed to do one thing, force an apology, which can then be spun by the ADL into an admission that whatever errant individual they have targeted was wrong and probably anti-Semitic for saying whatever it was that “offended,” the ADL.
In a past essay I noted:
“In reality, the ADL is nothing more than a political arm of organized world Zionism. It is essentially an organization that is designed to smear the reputation of those that dare question the motives of Zionism and often, individual Zionists acting out of sheer selfishness or on behalf of their co-ethnics. The ADL has the ear of government, the judiciary and law enforcement, it has managed to insert itself in these venues by claiming to represent the underdog, which is generally understood to mean minorities in our present day and age… The ADL engages in defamation, in fact it has mastered the art of defamation – it can and does defame anyone that attempts to bring attention to issues that organized Zionism wants kept under wraps. Interestingly, Foxman and the ADL aren’t in the least bit hesitant to engage in this type of disingenuous behavior, in fact they do so in the open, relying on the media, which is disproportionately owned, operated and managed by Jewish Zionists to convey to the world the ADL’s goal while at the same time suppressing the League’s defamatory techniques.”[4]
Nothing has changed of course, the media continues its subterfuge, that is why Adam Gadahn’s true background remains unknown to the vast majority of Americans, the media refuses to tell viewers that Adam Gadahn, “Azzam the American,” is in reality a Californian Jew with a penchant for “death metal,” music[5] that just happened to “convert,” to Islam, and become an important player in Al Qaeda, so important in fact, that Al Qaeda’s number Two, Ayman al-Zawahiri himself, introduces “Azzam the American,” in the latest Al Qaeda taped threat.[6]

Muslims Are Their Own Worst Enemy
Les nouveaux harkis ont le nez qui coule, ou le nouveau courant des 'boukhneines'

L’Algérie a connu ces derniers temps une série de décès qui a touché plusieurs piliers du régime militaire : d’abord le général Smaïn Lamari (28 août 2007), puis le général Fodhil Cherif (19 juin 2008), ensuite le général Larbi Belkheir (28 janvier 2010), et enfin le colonel Ali Tounsi assassiné jeudi dernier (25 février 2010).
Quand d’aucuns se mettent à les encenser, en faisant le portrait de nationalistes vaillants, intègres, sages, etc. d’autres n’hésitent pas à rappeler leurs méfaits et leur responsabilité directe dans les malheurs qu’a connus l’Algérie ces 18 dernières années, à commencer par le sinistre coup d’Etat du 11 janvier 1992, dont ils étaient instigateurs et exécutants, cette transgression de la volonté populaire et violation de la Constitution, suivie par la répression, la liquidation et l’exil forcé de centaines de milliers d’Algériens, la dilapidation des richesses de la nation et le bradage de la souveraineté nationale.
Certes, chaque partie est libre de choisir son camp et de se positionner comme elle le désire sur le plan moral et politique en Algérie. L’histoire évaluera le choix des uns et des autres. Mais il y a deux phénomènes qui ont attiré mon attention à chaque décès de ces gradés, et qui m’incitent à écrire cet article.
1— Une compétition pour recenser les « qualités » des putschistes défunts
Le premier phénomène est la course à laquelle se livrent certains symboles du mouvement islamique algérien pour assister aux funérailles de ces putschistes, insistant pour contribuer publiquement, à travers la presse, les chaines satellitaires et les sites Internet, aux oraisons funèbres, à dénombrer les « qualités » du défunt et à présenter les condoléances à sa famille. J’ai toujours en mémoire l’image de cheikh Bouabdallah Ghulamallah, ministres des affaires religieuses et des waqfs, de cheikh Bougarra soltani, président du mouvement Hams et de cheikh Abdelaziz Belkhadem, ancien premier ministre et actuel représentant du président de la république, dans les premiers rangs à l’intérieur des cimetières, visage pâle et grise mine.
Les plus grotesques expressions de condoléances que j’ai pu lire sont l’œuvre de cheikh Bougarra soltani suite à la disparition du général Larbi Belkheir et du colonel Ali Tounsi au début de l’année courante. Ces deux officiers sont bien connus auprès des Algériens pour leur implication dans la confiscation de la volonté populaire et dans l’instauration de la politique de l’éradication qui a fait près d’un quart de million de victimes. Voici le texte des messages de condoléances publiés sur le site du mouvement Hams, qui se passe de commentaire :
2— Incitation à évoquer les « qualités » et à faire des prières en faveur des défunts
Quant au deuxième phénomène, c’est l’encensement de criminels d’Etat et la prière pour leurs âmes, tout en niant le droit aux autres de s’y opposer. On observe qu’un grand nombre d’intervenants dans les forums d’information – en langues arabe et française – usent de formules islamiques et se concurrencent dans l’éloge et la glorification du défunt et la prière pour son âme. C’est leur droit de se comporter ainsi, comme je l’ai dit précédemment. Sauf que ces intervenants ne s’arrêtent pas là, mais s’attaquent à quiconque ose relever certains faits au sujet du défunt, et ce par le moyen de la réprimande, instrumentalisant certains textes religieux pour culpabiliser l’Autre, comme par exemple « évoquez les qualités de vos morts », ce qui frôle parfois le terrorisme intellectuel, voire pseudo-religieux. En outre, ils ordonnent à tous de demander à Dieu le pardon et la miséricorde pour le défunt.
Pour illustrer ce genre de remarques, voici un échantillon de ce qui a été publié sur le site « aljazeera.net » pour commenter l’assassinat du colonel Ali Tounsi :
Et lorsque l’un des intervenants fait une contribution à contre courant, alors la riposte ne se fait pas attendre, comme par exemple :
Ainsi, pour ces commentateurs qui sympathisent avec des criminels d’Etat notoires, il ne nous est permis que de demander la miséricorde pour le colonel, et ce serait une preuve de la crainte de Dieu.
3— Nul n’est tenu à prier pour l’âme de n’importe qui
S’il est permis en Islam de faire des prières pour l’âme d’un despote, s’il meurt en tant que musulman, ceci n’est certes pas une obligation. Ce doit être fait de préférence en privé, car rendre publique ces prières et leur faire de la publicité est un encouragement au despotisme.
Dans un « Avis juridique sur la question de la prière pour l’âme du musulman hérétique afin de lui demander le pardon et la miséricorde de Dieu », Cheikh Sulaiman Bin Nasir Al-Alwan rappelle que :
« Les musulmans en Orient et en Occident ne cessent de faire la prière du mort pour tout individu ayant affiché l’Islam et n’ayant pas fait montre de duplicité ou d’apostasie, auquel cas la prière est illicite. Mais à l’exception de ces cas, il n’est pas permis au musulman de délaisser la prière sur le défunt, par piété, sauf s’il y a un intérêt clair. Car certains Imams anciens s’abstenaient d’accomplir la prière du mort sur les gens des passions qui affichaient ostentatoirement leurs péchés, afin que les hérétiques cessent leur hérésie et que les pécheurs arrêtent de suivre leurs passions. Il s’agit donc d’un geste pour désapprouver ce qui est condamnable et pour réaliser l’intérêt général des musulmans ».
Ainsi, parfois la nécessité et l’intérêt général dictent une attitude qui consiste à s’abstenir de faire la prière du mort, qui est une obligation collective (elle doit être accomplie par au moins une partie de la communauté – fardh kifaya), et donc à fortiori à s’abstenir de faire des invocations publiques pour l’âme du défunt, ce qui n’est pas une obligation religieuse.
Ceci a une justification religieuse comme le mentionne Cheikh Al-Alwan :
« Cet acte est licite et on en trouve des exemples dans le droit musulman. En effet, le Prophète (pssl) s’est abstenu de faire la prière du mort dans le cas du suicidé (rapporté par Muslim), de celui qui a laissé une dette et qui n’a pas pris la peine de la régler, et a dit : « faites la prière sur votre compagnon » (rapporté par Al-Bukhari et Muslim) et dans le cas du voleur qui puise dans le butin de guerre (rapporté par Ahmad, Abu-Dawud, An-Nisaï et Ibn-Maja) ».
Il est intéressant de noter que la troisième catégorie mentionnée dans ce hadith correspond à l’auteur de détournement de fonds publics. Ainsi, par exemple, les responsables condamnés dans les scandales de corruption rapportés dans les médias algériens entreraient dans cette catégorie. Et si l’intérêt général dicte le renoncement à la prière du mort dans le cas du suicide et la corruption financière, alors il le fait, a fortiori, dans le cas de crimes de sang massifs.
Cheikh Al-Alwan consolide son avis en se référant à Cheikh-al-Islam Ibn-Taymiya qui affirme dans son ouvrage « Voie de la Tradition prophétique » que :
« Il est permis de demander le pardon de Dieu et de faire la prière pour tout musulman qui n’est pas connu pour sa duplicité, même s’il était connu pour l’hérésie ou la débauche, mais ce n’est pas une obligation pour tout un chacun de le faire. Et dans le cas où s’abstenir de faire la prière, pour celui qui appelle à l’hérésie ou qui affiche ostentatoirement sa dépravation, aurait une utilité générale, dans le sens où cela aurait un effet dissuasif sur les gens, alors s’abstenir de faire la prière devient légitime pour celui qui délaisse cette obligation comme mesure de dissuasion. »
4— Entre insulter les morts et évoquer leurs faits
La légitimité de dire du mal des despotes musulmans qui meurent est une question qui a été débattue très tôt dans l’histoire musulmane, notamment à la suite des conflits politiques qui ont eu lieu.
Certains théologiens l’ont interdit, en ce basant sur un nombre de hadiths comme celui dans lequel le Prophète (pssl) a dit : « Le croyant n’est ni diffamateur, ni lanceur d’imprécations. Il n’est ni obscène, ni grivois. » (relaté par Ahmad) Il a dit également : « N’insultez pas les morts, car vous risquerez de blesser des vivants. » (relaté par At-Tirmidhi).
Le hadith utilisé largement par les encenseurs des criminels d’Etat en Algérie est celui dans lequel il a été rapporté que le Prophète (pssl) aurait dit : « Evoquez les qualités de vos morts et abstenez-vous à mentionner leur défauts ». Les spécialistes de la tradition prophétique affirment que ce hadith souffre d’une faiblesse dans la chaine de transmission, en la personne d’Omrane Bin Anas Al-Makki, décrit par Al-Boukhari comme étant peu fiable.
Dans le cas ou ce hadith serait véridique, il est fort probable que son but soit de préserver la vie privée des personnes non publiques et de protéger leur intimité. Il est rapporté dans un autre hadith que le Prophète (pssl) a dit : « Celui qui couvre un musulman sera couvert par Dieu dans l’ici-bas et dans l’au-delà » (rapporté par Muslim). Il a aussi dit : « Celui qui couvre une faiblesse de son frère musulman, Dieu couvre sa faiblesse au Jour du Jugement dernier » (rapporté par Ibn-Maja) Il est encore plus indiqué de préserver la vie privée des musulmans après leur décès.
Par ailleurs, il est fort probable que « le frère, musulman » évoqué dans ce contexte soit celui décrit par le Prophète (pssl) dans un autre hadith, lorsqu’il a dit : « Le musulman est celui dont les autres musulmans sont à l’abri des méfaits de sa langue et de sa main. » (rapporté par Al-Bukhari)
Alors avec cette acception du terme « musulman », on constate qu’il y a un écart considérable entre le musulman décrit dans ce hadith, d’une part, et le musulman impliqué dans la torture, la mort et la disparation de dizaines de milliers d’Algériens ainsi que dans la misère de millions d’autres, d’autre part. Ce dernier est évoqué par Dieu le Très Haut comme suit : « Quiconque tue intentionnellement un croyant, sa rétribution alors sera l’Enfer, pour y demeurer éternellement. Allah l’a frappé de Sa colère, l’a maudit et lui a préparé un énorme châtiment. » (Coran, 4:93) ainsi que par le Prophète (pssl) en ces termes : « Celui qui ne montre pas de miséricorde pour les gens, ne bénéficiera pas de la miséricorde divine » (rapporté avec consensus). Que dire de celui chez qui la miséricorde s’estompe au point de participer à l’assassinat non d’un seul croyant, mais de dizaines de milliers de croyants ?
D’autres théologiens ont toléré le fait de dire du mal des despotes musulmans qui meurent, en ce basant sur des faits avérés dans la vie du Prophète (pssl), et en particulier ce qui est rapporté de Anas Bin Malik :
« Une fois un cortège funéraire est passé. L’assistance a dit du bien du défunt. Le Prophète (pssl) a alors dit par trois fois : ‘Elle est assurée !’ A une autre occasion, un autre cortège est passé. Cette fois-ci, l’assistance a dit du mal du défunt. Le Prophète a alors dit par trois fois : ‘Elle est assurée !’ Omar interrogea le Prophète sur le fait qu’il ait prononcé les mêmes mots dans les deux cas. Et le Prophète de répondre : ‘Celui que vous évoquez en bien aura assuré sa place au paradis, et celui que vous évoquez en mal aura assuré sa place en enfer.’ Il répètera ensuite trois fois : ‘Vous êtes les témoins de Dieu sur terre !’ » (rapporté par Muslim et Al-Bukhari) Dans ce hadith il y a affirmation de la fonction de témoignage que Dieu a réservé à l’être humain.
Parmi les exemples de divergence de points de vue sur cette question, on peut citer les cas de Yazid Ibn Muawiya et Al-Hadjadj Ibn Yusuf. Cela concerne le fait de lancer des imprécations, ce qui est d’une haute gravité puisqu’il s’agit de prier pour que la personne en question soit expulsée de la miséricorde de Dieu. Le Prophète (pssl) en a parlé ainsi : « Faire une imprécation à l’encontre d’un musulman, équivaut à le tuer » (rapporté par Muslim et Al-Bukhari).
Concernant la légitimité de faire des imprécations contre Yazid Ibn Muawiya pour les méfaits qui se sont produits sous son règne, notamment les crimes commis contre les habitants de Médine dans la bataille d’Al-Harra, et en particulier la mise à mort du petit-fils du Prophète, Al-Hussain, que Dieu l’agrée. Certains théologiens ont désapprouvé l’acte de maudire Yazid, comme Ar-Ramli, Ibn-Hadjr, Abdelmughith Al-Harbi, etc. ; d’autres l’ont approuvé comme Al-Aalusi, Ibn Al-Faraa, Ibn-Tahir Al-Maqdisi, As-Suyuti, Al-Qadhi Abu-Yaala, Ibn Al-Jawzi auteur de l’ouvrage « Réponse aux fanatiques qui interdisent de critiquer Yazid », etc. Quant à Ibn Taymiya, il a écrit à ce sujet ce qui suit : « Celui qui a tué Al-Hussain, celui qui y a aidé et celui qui l’a approuvé méritent d’être maudits par Dieu, par les anges et par l’humanité entière. » (Collection de fatwas)
En ce qui concerne le fait de critiquer Al-Hadjadj pour ses actes de répression et d’agression contre la communauté, il est rapporté, d’une part, qu’Ibn Sirine aurait entendu quelqu’un insulter Al-Hadjadj après sa mort. Il lui aurait dit « Tais-toi ! Sois sûr qu’à l’au-delà, le plus minuscule de tes péchés sera pour toi plus pénible à supporter que le plus grand péché d’Al-Hadjadj, et sache que Dieu le Très Haut est un Arbitre juste. S’il rendra justice aux victimes d’Al-Hadjadj, il rendra aussi justice à ce dernier pour le tort qu’on lui aurait fait. Alors ne t’occupe pas à insulter quiconque. » (Al-Hafidh Abu-Naïm Al-Isphahani, dans son ouvrage Joyau des Saints et Classes des Elus) D’autre part, Ibn Taymiya déclare que : « Lorsque les injustes comme Al-Hadjadj et ses semblables sont évoqués, nous disons ce que dit Dieu dans le Coran : ‘Que la malédiction d’Allah frappe les injustes’ (Coran, 11:18) ».
La position de Ibn Taymiya est intéressante et mérite d’être approfondie, car, d’une part il est d’avis que les injustes, même morts, méritent d’être maudits, et que sont concernés par cela, en cas d’atteinte à la vie d’un innocent, aussi bien l’auteur du crime que celui qui l’a assisté ou celui qui l’a approuvé. Ainsi, il met dans le cercle des injustes celui qui planifie ou perpètre ou assiste dans l’exécution d’un crime ou accepte le crime sans le condamner, ce qui indique la responsabilité de toutes les composantes de la société dans toute forme d’oppression qui s’y produit et leur devoir de s’y opposer.
D’autre part, Ibn Taymiya fait une distinction entre maudire une personne, à titre individuel, et la maudire au titre de son genre, ou la catégorie à laquelle elle appartient (imprécation générique). Il préfère personnellement l’imprécation individuelle à l’imprécation générique, mais ne critique pas celui qui a un avis contraire. Il dit à ce sujet : « La question de la licité de faire des prières en faveur d’une personne ou en son défaveur peut être traitée en se référant au rite funéraire. Les morts des musulmans doivent tous être honorés par une prière, du plus pieux au plus crapuleux d’entre eux, même si ce dernier est maudit individuellement ou génériquement. (…) Et nous n’aimons pas maudire une personne individuellement. » (Collection de fatwas) Ainsi, nous constatons dans ce qui précède que Ibn Taymiya n’a nommé ni Yazid ni Al-Hadjadj, mais les a mentionnés par leurs actes. Ceci indique un haut degré de lucidité dans l’approche des crimes commis par des êtres humains, qui coïncide avec la théorie moderne du changement politique non violent dans l’un de ses principes fondamentaux qui prescrit d’affronter avec force les comportements et les pratiques du despote, sans pour autant porter atteinte à l’humanité de ce dernier. La cible du processus de changement est plus l’acte condamnable que la personne qui l’a perpétré.
De ce qui précède, on peut déduire que dire du mal du défunt est réprouvable s’il n’est pas dicté par l’intérêt général. Cependant, évoquer des réalités historiques qui concernent le défunt, surtout lorsqu’il s’agit d’un homme public soumis de son vivant, comme c’est le cas de toute figure publique, à la critique des citoyens, et si l’intérêt général est établi, devient indiquée et nécessaire. Mais ceci doit obéir à certaines règles éthiques comme acquérir la certitude concernant l’acte et son auteur, pour ne pas distribuer des accusations gratuites, se focaliser sur l’acte lui-même plutôt que sur son auteur en gardant toujours à l’esprit que ce dernier, en tant qu’être humain, a certainement des aspects lumineux quelle que soit l’immensité de ses aspects obscurs, et s’écarter de l’esprit de vengeance autant que possible. Ces règles incluent également la recommandation de ne pas aborder la vie privée et intime du défunt et de se limiter à la vie publique et aux pratiques qui ont un impact sur la société, ainsi que de ne pas s’attaquer à la famille et aux proches du défunt, car « nul ne portera la responsabilité d’autrui » (Coran, 6:164, 17:15, 35:18, 39:7, 53:38)
Pour revenir au cas algérien, il est indéniable que l’intérêt général exige d’évoquer ceux qui ont planifié, exécuté, aidé dans, incité à, approuvé ou se sont tus sur les violations massives des droits de l’homme en Algérie, vécues par les citoyens, et attestées par les militants et les organisations des droits de l’homme au niveau national et international, y compris par des mécanismes onusiens des droits de l’homme, comme la torture, la disparition forcée, les massacres et les exécutions arbitraires. Car cela est utile pour établir la vérité, préserver la mémoire collective, et dissuader ceux qui s’aviseraient à répéter de tels crimes à l’avenir. Le décès de l’un des responsables d’un crime n’est pas à même d’altérer sa réalité historique.
5— Conseil aux « partisans d’une religion de l’oppression » en Algérie
Un nouveau courant islamique se développe en Algérie. Un ami l’appelle le courant des « Boukhnouna », c’est-dire ceux dont le nez coule en public et qui n’ont ni force ni dignité pour se moucher le nez. Ceux qui ont déclaré avoir pleuré sous l’intensité du recueillement en faisant la prière derrière « El-Hadj Smaïn », ce général défunt dont l’un des collaborateurs a attesté qu’il avait déclaré un jour qu’il était prêt à tuer trois millions d’Algériens en cas de nécessité. Ceux dont le masochisme fait qu’ils éprouvent de la jouissance à faire l’éloge de leurs bourreaux qui violent leur intimité et celle de leurs frères. Ceux qui récitent les louanges à l’égard des chefs putschistes qu’ils ont eu l’honneur de rencontrer. Ceux qui glorifient tout responsable politique ou sécuritaire de crimes contre l’humanité qui disparait, et multiplient les prières sur son âme.
Ce courant islamique nouveau veut nous « vendre » un Islam déformé qui accepte le despotisme, l’oppression et l’injustice et appelle à la soumission et à la capitulation devant la volonté des nouveaux Yazid et autres Hadjadj qui sévissent aujourd’hui en Algérie et y sèment mort, corruption et désolation. Mais le peuple algérien, fidèle à un Islam de justice et de dignité, n’acceptera jamais cette forme altérée de la religion, corrompue sur les plans éthique et politique.
Mon conseil à celui dont la piété enfle au point de vouloir faire des invocations en faveur des ces auteurs de crimes imprescriptibles, souhaitant ainsi être ressuscité en leur compagnie, qu’il le fasse discrètement. Car l’afficher publiquement est un manque de respect envers la mémoire des victimes de ces hauts gradés qui ont mené l’Algérie au désastre, et un manque de pudeur et de délicatesse envers les familles de ces victimes. Et qu’il fasse en sorte qu’à chaque fois qu’il demande à Dieu de pardonner l’un de ces officiers supérieurs qui viennent de nous quitter, il dise, au préalable, 200’000 prières à l’intention des âmes des Algériens innocents, victimes des politiques criminelles de ces putschistes.

Apres Dubai, Netanyahu souhaite que Liebermann, Barak ou Peres soient liquidés pour rester au pouvoir indefenitivement
Le criminel de guerre Netanyahu dirige une coalition qu'il a lui meme construite, elle est son premier souci, toute externalisation de la crise interne a Tel Aviv, lui serait d'un grand benefice. Maintenant reste a savoir qui va mourrir, Peres, Barak, Netanyahu ou Liebermann... car leurs maitres en occident eux aussi ont leurs propres plans, entre mega-attentats a la bombe sale en preparation en France, Allemagne et Pays Bas en Europe et l'extension de la prise de controle du Moyen Orient et de l'Asie du Sud-Est en semant le chaos, la construction des routes strategiques energetiques. L'Iran sera bien evidemment le coupable designé, mais l'Iran reserve bien des surprises, le monde musulman sera lui aussi surpris de la capacité et de la facilité des iraniens a se defendre et a detruire leurs ennemis !
