Pakistanis have great deal of emotional attachment with the Iranian people: Shahid R. Siddiqi

Posted: 29 Sep 2010 07:58 AM PDT

The 2010 Pakistan flood was one of the most unpleasant and painful incidents of the year which attracted widespread international attention due to its extensiveness and destructive impacts. The floods started in July following heavy monsoon rains and overflow of the Indus River in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan regions of Pakistan. It is estimated that more than two thousand people lost their lives and over a million homes were destroyed since the flooding began. According to the United Nations estimates, over 21 million people have been injured or displaced as a result of the devastative flood.

The New, More Racially Diverse US Army

Posted: 29 Sep 2010 06:18 AM PDT

Next time you see or hear that old "support our troops" mantra, you might want to think long and hard about what it is you're supporting. There's still a core of good quality Whites who hold everything together, but they must worship at the altar of Diversity and multi-culturalism like all federal employees. The minority portion of the United States military is largely a disgrace, and some of their bad habits like drug addiction are spreading to the less-disciplined Whites.

 

General Toufik: 'God of Algeria'

Posted: 29 Sep 2010 02:29 AM PDT

September 2010 is the 20th anniversary of the world's longest serving 'intelligence chief' taking office. The man in question is General Mohamed 'Toufik' Mediène, the director of Algeria's Département du Renseignement et de la Sécurité (DRS).

He was appointed head of the DRS in September 1990, 15 months before Algeria's 'Generals', or 'the group' as they were known at the time, which included Mediène (then a colonel), annulled the elections that would have brought to power the world's first ever democratically elected Islamic government.

David Icke: The Beleaguered Warrior

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 05:58 PM PDT

There is a time when the warriors amongst us must be honored.

I have a friend who most of you are aware of. His work is tireless, yet the challenges against him mount. He has chosen a path few would dare consider as it has put him in the line of fire within his community, country and even on a global scale. I am referring to David Icke.

The Road to World War III - The Global Banking Cartel Has One Card Left to Play

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 05:50 PM PDT

When we analyze our current crisis, focusing on the past few years of economic activity blinds us to the history and context that are vital to understanding the root cause. What we have been experiencing is not the result of an unforeseen economic crash that appeared out of the blue with the collapse of the housing market. It was certainly not brought on by people who bought homes they couldn't afford. To frame this crisis around a debate on economic theory misses the point entirely. To even blame it on greedy bankers, while essentially accurate, also misses the most vital point.

Israel's Reasoning against Peace

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 05:33 PM PDT

With the resumption of settlement construction in the West Bank yesterday, Israel's powerful settler movement hopes that it has scuttled peace talks with the Palestinians.

It would be misleading, however, to assume that the only major obstacle to the success of the negotiations is the right-wing political ideology the settler movement represents. Equally important are deeply entrenched economic interests shared across Israeli society.

West's tax benefits for donation to Israel Army

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 05:27 PM PDT

In July 2010, the British goverment launched an investigation into the possible links between country's leading Muslim charity, Islamic Dawah Centre International and the anti-USrael terrorist groups. The IDCI joined the list after the British Home Secretary, Zionist Theresa May, banned India's top Muslim preacher, Dr. Zakir Naik, to address a meeting sonsored by the charity group.

Interestingly, British Prime Minister, David Cameron, who had boasted of his Jewish roots – has agreed to become a patron of Jewish National Fund (JNF), following in the footsteps of his predecessors Gordon Brown and Tony Blair. JNF collected US$12.2 million last year and is well-known for giving financial aid to Israel Occupation Force (IOF) projects.

A Lie at the Heart of Israel's Settlement Project

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 05:24 PM PDT

As Israel's self-imposed and largely irrelevant settlement freeze ends, Prime Minister Netanyahu has asked settlers to show 'restraint'. It is an interesting choice of adjective, for people who show restraint are the injured and outraged; they are victims who although entitled to a full measure of justice settle for less to maintain good will and harmony. In the context of the West Bank settlers and Israel's illegal colonisation no adjective could be less appropriate. Yet unwittingly it also reveals the mendacity behind Israel's whole approach to these negotiations.

Settlements - or to describe them accurately, illegal Jewish only colonies - did not happen by accident; nor do they continue as some sort of unfortunate but unavoidable historical hangover. Rather they are central to Israel's entire policy with regard to the Palestinian territories.

Is South African Foreign Policy with Palestine Tied in Knots?

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 05:20 PM PDT

In a recent interview, South Africa's ambassador to the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, Ted Pekane, made an intriguing observation:

"Currently we have no intention of breaking ties with Israel. That would be counter-productive. Our policy of engagement applies to Israel as well. Only if the [Palestinian Authority of President Mahmoud Abbas] asked us to support the disinvestments and sanctions campaign against Israel would we consider packing our bags".

It Takes a Cynic: 'If I Were Not Obama, I Would Be Diogenes'

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 05:13 PM PDT

As a lawyer and one time activist, President Barack Obama should not have lashed out at the Cynics when he asked the United Nations General Assembly and the world to back his plan to forge a Palestinian State and a secure Israel. Actually, it is Cynicism itself that is sorely and desperately needed in order for a just and secure Palestinian State and Israeli State to peacefully co-exist and thrive.

It is unfortunate too, that the current meaning of "cynic" is someone who assumes the worst about human nature. However, Cynicism was an Ancient Greek philosophical movement probably founded by Diogenes of Sinope. The Cynics took their name either from their meeting place or from the word kynikos, referring to the free, unfettered-and always questioning-lifestyle mixed with contempt for the established social and political orders of their day.

Israel's Political Firewall against the Truth

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 05:10 PM PDT

In an article published in the September 6th edition of The Palestine Chronicle ("Imagining Palestinians as Equal") I began with this quote from novelist Aldous Huxley: "The propagandist's purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human." It is the key to separating out what is blatant propaganda and what is fair and honest communication.

Tuesday: 3 Iraqis Killed, 24 Wounded

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 04:02 PM PDT

Margaret Griffis

At least three Iraqis were killed and 24 were wounded in mostly late evening attacks in and near Baghdad. Meanwhile, a U.S. servicemember is in custody for the deaths of two fellow soldiers last week. Also, Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari called on the United States to increase its role in helping Iraq form its new government.

The U.S. military is holding a U.S. servicemember in connection with a deadly shooting in Fallujah last week. Spc. Neftaly Platero is suspected of killing Spc. John Carrillo Jr. and Pfc. Gebrah P. Noonan, while wounding a third unnamed soldier, in an attack that followed an argument between the four servicemembers.

There goes the neighbourhood

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 01:17 PM PDT

As demographic data from the 2010 census starts to come in, it will show a startling trend - cities that have long been the African American capitals of the US are undergoing drastic change. On the south side of Chicago, in New York's Harlem, across New Orleans and in Washington DC, the black population is in rapid decline. The numbers are particularly startling in Washington, DC - a city that was once so thoroughly black it gained the name "Chocolate City". In 1970, blacks made up over 70 per cent of the district's population. Today, African Americans represent less than 54 per cent of the population and demographers predict they will be a minority in the next five to 10 years. The most common explanation for the displacement is gentrification, and the rising cost of living that comes with the new, generally white, population. Even as a black family occupies the most important residence in DC for the first time in history, "Chocolate City" is having an identity crisis. Al Jazeera goes to the neighbourhoods of the nation's capital where long time black Washingtonians question their future in a city with centuries of rich African American past.

Sunlight Disinfects Sunstein - Now Bring on the War Crimes Tribunals

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 11:50 AM PDT

David Ray Griffin's new book Cognitive Infiltration is absolutely brilliant. It elegantly does several things at once: * Puts forward  key 9/11 evidence; * Reveals the slightly hilarious inadequacy of the  official story defenders' case,  as exemplified by Cass Sunstein's "Conspiracy Theories" article; * Uses irony to demolish the neocons' philosophy of the noble lie -- the philosophy that in all probability led directly to the 9/11 inside job.

Amazing "Coincidence": UT Shooting Cancels Pro-Gun Speech

White House Science Czar Questioned The Right of Unborn Child to Live Inside Womb

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 09:49 AM PDT

It is almost tiresome, but yet another writing by White House science czar John P. Holdren has surfaced- this time questioning the right of a "potential human" to live and grow in the womb of an "actual woman". One could fill a medium-sized library with the writings by this Malthusian monster, denouncing humans and their right to live under the sun.

The Emperor Has No Clothes

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 08:30 AM PDT

In this edition of Epilogue Akbar Mohammad interviews Ivan Eland about his new book, The Emperor Has No Clothes. Eland points out that every time we had a war in the US our freedoms and civil liberties have been reduced. Democracy should not come from above. The people of a country should be ready for it and it should be institutionalized from the grassroots level. Sanctions are not effective because they have a rally around the flag effect. The Iranians would definitely not stop their nuclear program because of the sanctions. It's better to buy goods and resources rather than spend on the military and send it to secure goods and resources.

Ed Milliband - The Manchurian Candidate

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 08:25 AM PDT

Ed MillibandThe election of Ed Milliband to lead the Labour party, is a nightmare come true.

After the long charade of a feud between the brothers David and ED, we now see that it was all just a scheme to keep them in the public eye.

It appears that 10% of the votes were not counted, an astonishing 36,562 votes were rejected because a new addition ofa small box on the bottom of the ballot paper was not ticked, this meant that these were marked 'spoilt' and not counted, most people did not even see this new addition to the paper.

 

Going nuclear: Arab-Iranian fissure

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 07:27 AM PDT

Schisms in Arab-Iranian relations litter their common history. None perhaps threatens calamity for both sides more than the fissure over Iran going nuclear. However, in Arab-Iranian relations the fusion of religion and politics is more of a quandary than the nuclear fusion Iranians seem to be seeking.

This is not a time for the Arab side to melt from the heat of Iran going nuclear. This is a time to put intellectual and political wisdom before irrational machinations against the 'other.'

Turkey and Russia: Cleaning up the mess in the Middle East

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 01:17 AM PDT

The neocon plan to transform the Middle East and Central Asia into a pliant client of the US empire and its only-democracy-in-the-Middle-East is now facing a very different playing field. Not only are the wars against the Palestinians, Afghans and Iraqis floundering, but they have set in motion unforeseen moves by all the regional players.

The empire faces a resurgent Turkey, heir to the Ottomans, who governed a largely peaceful Middle East for half a millennium. As part of a dynamic diplomatic outreach under the Justice and Development Party (AKP), Turkey re-established the Caliphate visa-free tradition with Albania, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya and Syria last year. In February Turkish Culture and Tourism Minister Ertugrul Gunay offered to do likewise with Egypt. There is "a great new plan of creating a Middle East Union as a regional equivalent of the European Union" with Turkey, fresh from a resounding constitutional referendum win by the AKP, writes Israel Shamir.

Ashcroft's Post-9/11 Roundups Spark Lawsuit

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 11:00 PM PDT

William Fisher

Hundreds of people who believe they were falsely detained and imprisoned by the Department of Justice in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks are now seeking redress through the U.S. courts.

The exact number of detainees is unclear, as no lists were ever released publicly. But according to a report by the Office of the Inspector General in 2002, 475 9/11 detainees were arrested and detained in New York and New Jersey. Hundreds more were arrested across the country.

Sorry, You're Under Surveillance

Orwell, Kafka,

Would soon watch me.

For governments keen on muzzling and thwarting opposition, terrorism is a God-sent cover. A nation subject to terrorist attack can get away with deception, surveillance, secret arrests, harassment, entrapment, censorship, spying, stealing, and grievous infringements on travel. Nothing to it… you just cite national security.

Riots Grip East Jerusalem

Mel FrykbergTension, the twisted carcasses of gutted vehicles, buses with smashed windows, smoldering dumpsters, streets riddled with rubber-coated steel bullets and empty cartridge cases, tear gas, and air thickened with black soot from burning tires marked the beginning of the fifth day of continuous rioting in East Jerusalem Monday.

A Palestinian man was killed by an Israeli settlement security guard in disputed circumstances, a Palestinian toddler asphyxiated on tear gas, and dozens of Palestinians were injured by beatings, rubber-coated metal bullets, and tear gas inhalation.

Stuxnet False Flag Launched For Web Takeover! - Alex Jones Tv 2/3

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 07:35 PM PDT

Stuxnet False Flag Launched For Web Takeover Paul Joseph Watson www.infowars.com www.prisonplanet.tv September 27, 2010 Israel and the United States have emerged as the prime suspects behind the Stuxnet worm attack, which has infected the Iranian nuclear plant at Bushehr, following the discovery that a "wealthy group or nation" must have been responsible for the malware assault. On Sunday, Infowars speculated that Stuxnet was a false flag intended to both target Iran and provide a pretext for the implementation of draconian cybersecurity legislation. That suspicion has been greatly enhanced by new evidence which proves the virus was "created by experts working for a country or a well-funded private group," according to Liam O Murchu, manager of security response operations at Symantec Corp. "A number of governments with sophisticated computer skills would have the ability to create such a code. They include China, Russia, Israel, Britain, Germany and the United States," states the Associated Press report, clearly indicating that the US, Israel, Great Britain, or a combination of the three were behind the attack. The Stuxnet worm is now "rampaging through Iran," causing havoc to the country's industrial infrastructure, having already infected at least 30000 IP addresses. There would be no motivation whatsoever for Russia to be behind the attack because they have helped fuel the Bushehr reactor.

Poll – Arabs prefer Ahmadinejad over Obama

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 07:18 PM PDT

Last month, Brookings Institute released results of a poll conducted by Professor Shibley Telhami of Saban Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings Institute – in co-operation with Zogby and the University of Maryland. The participants from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Morocco, Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates expressed they're more supportive of Iranian President Dr. Ahmadinejad's views on the Middle East than US President Barack Obama.

Professor Shibley Telhami pointed out that the results of "the poll present problem for the US, which has counted on Arabs seeing Iran as a threat – maybe even bigger one than Israel".

Obama's Internet Wiretap Move: Just One Small Facet Of Total Domination Project

The Obama administration is drafting legislation that will see all internet providers and other online communication services, including email clients and social networks, be forced to allow the intelligence agencies unfettered backdoor access.

"Essentially, officials want Congress to require all services that enable communications — including encrypted e-mail transmitters like BlackBerry, social networking Web sites like Facebook and software that allows direct "peer to peer" messaging like Skype — to be technically capable of complying if served with a wiretap order."

Reaping terror's reward: get in there first – that's the secret

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 02:58 PM PDT

If it wasn't for the "war on terror" America and Israel wouldn't be enjoying such military fun and games and reaping such fat rewards. Whole new industries are flourishing thanks to the considerable effort they've devoted to sowing the seeds of terror.

The Institute of Terrorism Research and Response (ITRR), for example, is an American-Israeli corporation "created to help organizations succeed and prosper in a world threatened by terrorism".

Israeli Raid on Gaza Flotilla: Revealing UN Rights Council Report

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 02:11 PM PDT

Following Israel's raid on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla on 31 May, the UN Human Rights Council elected to establish an independent international fact-finding mission to investigate violations of international law, including humanitarian and human rights law. On 23 July the three-person Mission was appointed. It consisted of Chairman Karl Hudson-Phillips, retired Judge of the International Criminal Court and former Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago; Sir Desmond de Silva, former Chief Prosecutor of the UN-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone; and Ms Mary Shanthi Dairiam, a specialist on international women's rights. They were assisted by a large team including external specialists in forensic pathology, military issues, firearms, the law of the sea and international humanitarian law. The Mission began work in Geneva on 9 August and an advanced unedited edition of its report was published just over six weeks later on 22 September.

What if peace talks "succeed?"

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 02:00 PM PDT

Many commentators expect the direct talks between Israelis and Palestinians to fail. But there is a much worse scenario: what if they "succeed?" The United States appears determined to push for a framework agreement within a year and both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Mahmoud Abbas, President of the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority (PA), are aiming for that goal. Such an agreement, US peace envoy George Mitchell explained in a 2 September press conference, would be more than a declaration of principles but less than a peace treaty. In it, the two sides would reach the "fundamental compromises" necessary for a peace accord. Like its predecessor, the Obama administration has already indicated that the accord would still have to be fleshed out and then implemented over the course of several years -- which virtually ensures that it will be delayed if not derailed as happened to past peace accords.

Anthony J. Hall and Joshua Blakeney Challenge Michael Shermer About His 9/11 Denialism

Shermer purports to be a skeptic (his magazine is named "Skeptic Magazine") who has read "ALL of David Ray Griffin's books" (DRG is actually his colleague at the Clairmont Graduate School ). However, Shermer is clearly somebody who has never engaged with any of the critiques of the government narrative about 9/11, a subject which he nonetheless talks about authoritatively to public audiences, conflating 9/11 truth-seekers with UFO spotters, Holocaust Deniers under the rubric of "conspiracy theorists".

Truth will set US free: breaking Israel's stranglehold over American foreign policy

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 01:24 PM PDT

If Israel's stranglehold over US foreign policy is to be broken, Americans will need to be informed about the harm that Washington's unconditional support for the Jewish state is doing to American interests, say leading analysts of US-Israeli relations.


According to John J. Mearsheimer, co-author of The Israel Lobby and US Foreign Policy, "The only plausible way to weaken the lobby's influence on US foreign policy is for prominent policymakers and opinion-makers to speak openly about the damage the special relationship is doing to the American national interest."

Credit Collapse and the Shadow Banking System

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 07:45 AM PDT

While local banks are held in check by the new banking czars in Basel, Wall Street's "shadow banking system" has hardly been curbed by regulators at all; and it is here that the 2008 credit crisis was actually precipitated. The banking system's credit machine is systemically flawed and needs a radical overhaul.

On September 13, the Bank for International Settlements issued heightened capital requirements that will make lending even more difficult for local banks, which do most of the consumer and small business lending today. The new rules are ostensibly designed to prevent a repeat of the 2008 credit collapse, but they fail to address its real cause, which involves a "shadow" banking system that has largely escaped regulation.

Review: Norwegian doctors' "Eyes in Gaza"

Posted: 27 Sep 2010 02:31 AM PDT

Eyes in Gaza is a detailed and harrowing account by the Norwegian doctors Mads Gilbert and Erik Fosse of their experiences in al-Shifa Hospital during Israel's deadly assault on Gaza in December 2008-January 2009. For a time, they were not just the only western doctors in Gaza, but the only western witnesses to what they repeatedly call Israel's "massacre" of some 1,400 Palestinian men, women and children. Hence the book's title, bearing witness to their status as witnesses.

Rabbi–"You Must Suck During Circumcision"

Keep in mind folks, THESE are the people who run our society, the ones Jesus warned us about and who are attempting at present to impose THIS world view upon everyone–a small subsection of which includes the practice of sucking on a baby boy's penis during the circumcision process.

Can you just IMAGINE if the Muslims did this? It would be listed up there with all the other "72 Virgins" BS and all the rest, but yet, we hear NOTHING concerning this perverse behavior on the part of these rabbis, and of course we all know why.

US Zionists in uproar over article showing Israelis don't care about peace

Posted: 26 Sep 2010 11:05 AM PDT

When Time magazine carried an article on "Why Israel doesn't care about peace", a whole coterie of American Zionist supporters reacted as if Time had become anti-Semitic.

For any writer to cast the slightest aspersion on Israel's claim to wish for peace is tantamount to alleging that there never was a Sermon on the Mount.

Author of the Time article, Karl Vick, writes: "Asked in a March poll to name the 'most urgent problem' facing Israel, just 8 per cent of Israeli Jews cited the conflict with Palestinians, putting it fifth behind education, crime, national security and poverty."
