Ghostly figure spotted at Indian restaurant

4/30/2014 David Holmes

Is this ghoulish face of a ghost in the city’s Bombay Palace restaurant in Upper Northgate Street?

This ghoulish face peering out of the darkness from the gents in a city centre Indian restaurant is enough to give anybody the willies.

Aaron Ali, co-owner of the family-run Bombay Palace restaurant in Upper Northgate Street, Chester, was sitting in the dark at the front of the eating house about 3am one morning, just before last Christmas, when he heard the sound of a door banging.

Everybody else had gone home, except for the waiter who had retired to his upstairs living quarters, and Mr Ali decided to film the scene on his mobile because he was slightly unnerved by the noise.

However, his mobile was set on stills camera mode and he took a snap shot which looked innocuous at first. However, on zooming in he spotted the creepy looking face in the background, positioned where the gents toilet mirror is located.

Mr Ali explained: “I thought it must be the light hitting the mirror in the gents toilet because when we clean up we use a mop to hold the door open. I thought it was some sort of reflection.

“When you first look at the photo you think there’s nothing there but when you zoom in you can see what looks like a face.”

Mr Ali said customers, a handyman who does work at the restaurant, the chef and his brother Zafor, with whom he runs the business, had always thought there was “something” towards the back of the building.

In addition, an empty coffin had been found in the cellar of the restaurant in the 1980s with no explanation as to what it was doing there.

Mr Ali, from Newton, denied altering the image, saying: “I don’t know anything about computers.”

He had been reluctant to share the photo because he does not want to unsettle his young children who often visit the restaurant. “I don’t want to scare them,” he said.

Why do Germans Celebrate April 30th?

4/30/2014

Germans will find any reason to celebrate, so before the anarchy on May 1st can begin, they like to bid the evil spirits of winter goodbye by dressing up as witches and warlocks and dance around bonfires.

Walpurgisnacht, the night from April 30th to May 1st takes its name from Saint Walburga, a Catholic Saint, whose feast day is celebrated on May 1st. She was known as the protector against sorcery and witchcraft.

Traditionally, it is the night when witches would gather together on the Brocken, the highest peak of the Harz mountain range in central Germany, and celebrate the triumph of spring over winter.

The Brocken is surrounded in mystery due to the mist and clouds that shroud the peak, and according to legend, is the home of witches and the devil.

The tradition of Walpurgisnacht also features in Goethe’s Faust, when Faust is taken to Brocken by Mephisto to revel with the witches on Walpurgisnacht.

Walpurgisnacht is a noisy and fun affair for the family in Germany. Children and adults dress up as witches and communal bonfires are lit.

At midnight, the official start of spring is heralded by setting off fireworks, dancing and playing loud music – all said to drive the witches and winter spirits away. But not for long, exactly six months later the spooks will return for the start of winter on All Hallow’s Eve.

Nowadays Walpurgisnacht has also become an excuse for causing mayhem.

In Bavaria, the night is known as Hexennacht (witches’ night) and is filled with mischief as cars are sprayed with shaving foam, and paper streamers are hung on trees.

And in Berlin and Hamburg the celebrations are more extreme. As the cities prepare for leftist May Day riots, some already erupt on Walpurgisnacht and carry on through the night.

Executive Summary of the US Report

At the invitation of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, representatives of 26 governments and four international organizations met in Washington, D.C. on December 12-14, 2011 to discuss the implementation of United Nations Human Rights Council Resolution (UNHRC) 16/18 on “Combating Intolerance, Negative Stereotyping and Stigmatization of, and Discrimination, Incitement to Violence and Violence Against, Persons Based on Religion or Belief.” In her closing remarks, Secretary Clinton stressed, “The United States is hosting this conference because religious freedom and freedom of expression are among our highest values. They are enshrined in our Constitution. For people everywhere, faith and religious practice is a central source of our identity. It provides our lives with meaning and context. It is fundamental to who we are.”

The implementation meeting focused on two elements of the steps set forth in Resolution 16/18: 1) prohibiting discrimination based on religion or belief and 2) training government officials, including on how to implement effective outreach to religious communities. Participants agreed that their task was to keep the discussion focused on implementing the specific steps called for in Resolution 16/18, rather than broadening the dialogue to other possible measures not included in the resolution.

Presenters and participants in the interactive sessions were law enforcement and anti-discrimination experts. Presenters included experts from invited countries and international organizations, as well as personnel from the United States Departments of Homeland Security and Justice.

Discussions were held under “Chatham House Rule” in order to promote a free and candid exchange of views. Accordingly, while this report reflects accurately the points made and best practices described by all participants, approval was sought before attributing specific remarks to particular participants.

The sessions produced a rich exchange of best practices, which are set forth in the body of this report. Key conclusions for policy makers include the following:

  1. Participating countries already have in place legal prohibitions of discrimination and violence based on religion or belief. While the nature of these prohibitions vary – some are contained in national constitutions, others in domestic laws, and still others in international instruments that have the same importance in the relevant countries as domestic law – there does not appear to be a fundamental gap in the domestic legal framework of the majority of participant countries.
  2. Many countries have specialized units in their justice ministries or prosecutor general’s offices which have proven effective in imposing civil, and at times criminal, penalties against those found to have engaged in violence or discrimination on the basis of religion or belief in employment, the provision of public services, or in access to public accommodations such as hotels and restaurants. Others rely on regular prosecutors to enforce these laws. Civil enforcement of anti-discrimination laws has proven to be the most effective and is most widely used. Strong public outreach is a key factor in all systems. Effective outreach not only ensures that the population knows authorities are willing and able to take on religious discrimination cases, but also teaches citizens how to call such cases to the attention of authorities.
  3. There is a wide variation in training for government officials. Some countries have specialized programs focused on training officials to consider religious sensitivities when formulating and implementing policies and practices; others have no specific training in this area.
  4. The disparity in training is reflected in wide variations in the systematization of outreach to religious communities. Some countries have highly structured outreach systems. These systems ensure that communities are aware of potential or actual changes in policy that may affect them, the rationale behind such policies, and the opportunity that communities have to shape such policies through their input. Other countries do not have a systematic way of conducting such outreach, but many have developed creative and effective ad hoc methods for such engagement.
  5. Effective national security policy and protection of human rights are mutually reinforcing. Law enforcement needs the cooperation of religious and other communities to fight violent extremism. Communities will not cooperate if they perceive that their members are being discriminated against or that their members’ beliefs are not being respected by the authorities. Extremists can use such perceptions to further their own ends. Profiling based on religion or ethnicity not only violates human rights, but also provides a false sense of security and allows actual terrorists to proceed undetected.

Islamic World Tells Clinton: Defamation of Islam Must be Prevented — in America

 As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton welcomes Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu to Washington this week, it is critical that Americans pay attention to what these two leaders intend to do. From 12 to 14 December 2011, working teams from the Department of State (DoS) and the OIC are going to discuss implementation mechanisms that could impose limits on freedom of speech and expression.

The OIC’s purpose, as stated explicitly in its April 2011 4th Annual Report on Islamophobia, is to criminalize “incitement to hatred and violence on religious grounds.” Incitement is to be defined by applying the “test of consequences” to speech. Under this twisted perversion of falsely “yelling ‘fire’ in a crowded theater,” it doesn’t matter what someone actually says — or even whether it is true or not; if someone else commits violence and says it’s because of something that person said, the speaker will be held criminally liable.

The OIC is taking direct aim at free speech and expression about Islam. Neither Christianity nor Judaism is named in the OIC’s official documents, whose only concern is to make the world safe from “defamation” of Islam — a charge that includes speaking truthfully about the national security implications of the Islamic doctrine of jihad.

Incitement to hatred under the OIC definition includes artistic expression like the Danish cartoons, literary expression like Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses, or Pastor Terry Jones’ burning of his personally owned copy of the Qur’an. According to the “test of consequences,” if Muslims feel compelled to burn, loot, riot, and kill in response to such exercises of free expression, under the laws the OIC wants the U.S. to enact, it would be the editor and cartoonist of the Jyllands-Posten newspaper, Salman Rushdie, and Terry Jones who would be held criminally responsible for any damage or deaths that ensue.

Last March, the State Department and Secretary Clinton insisted that “combating intolerance based on religion” can be accomplished without compromising Americans’ treasured First Amendment rights. But if that were so, there would be no possible excuse for engaging at this level with an organization like the OIC that is openly dedicated to implementing Islamic law globally. This is why it is so important to pay attention not only to the present agenda, but to a series of documents leading up to it, issued by both the U.S. and the OIC. From 12 to 14 December 2011, the DoS and OIC working teams will focus on implementation mechanisms for “Resolution 16/18,” a declaration that was adopted by the U.N. Human Rights Council in April 2011.

Resolution 16/18 was hailed as a victory by Clinton, because it calls on countries to combat “intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization” based on religion without criminalizing free speech — except in cases of “incitement to imminent violence.” But if the criterion for determining “incitement to imminent violence” is a new “test of consequences,” then this is nothing but an invitation to stage Muslim “Days of Rage” following the slightest perceived offense by a Western blogger, instructor, or radio show guest, all of whom will be held legally liable for “causing” the destruction, possibly even if what they’ve said is merely a statement of fact. The implications of such prior restraint on free speech would be chilling (which is precisely the point).

In fact, the “test of consequences” is already being applied rigorously in European media and courts, where any act or threat of violence — whether by a jihadist, insane person, or counter-jihadist — is defined as a “consequence” of statements that are critical of some aspect of Islam and, therefore, to be criminalized. Recent trials of Dutch political leader Geert Wilders, Austrian free speech champion Elizabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, and Danish Islamic expert Lars Hedegaard (as well as the witch hunt for “instigators” that followed the murderous attacks by Norwegian blogger Anders Behring Brevik) all attest to the extent of these “hate speech” laws’ oppressive pall over what is left of the European Enlightenment. Now, if the OIC and the Obama administration have their way, it’s America’s turn.

Once it’s understood that under Islamic law, “slander” is defined as saying “anything concerning a person [a Muslim] that he would dislike,” the scope of potential proximate causes of Muslim rage becomes obvious. For instance, in the Preamble to the Resolutions on Legal Affairs Adopted by the 38th Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the OIC in Astana, Kazakhstan in June 2011, under paragraph 9, the OIC:

Denounces media campaigns and fabrications made by some quarters in non-Member States [i.e., the Dar al-Harb or West] regarding the mistreatment of non-Muslim minorities and communities in the OIC Member States under the slogan of religious freedom and so on.

Consider what is likely to be a bloodbath for Coptic Christians that will occur as soon as the Muslim Brotherhood and its Salafist allies are firmly in control of Egypt. This provision means that any Western media that accurately report that coming massacre could be legally charged with “incitement to imminent violence” under the test of consequences, in effect blaming those who raise the alarm instead of those who perpetrate the violence.

Clearly, the OIC feels some sense of urgency to get the rest of the non-Muslim world, and especially the U.S., on board with these objectives as Paragraph 10:

Expresses the need to pursue as a matter of priority, a common policy aimed at preventing defamation of Islam perpetrated under the pretext and justification of the freedom of expression in particular through media and Internet.

In this same document is the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers’ “Resolution No. 1/38-LEG On Follow Up and Coordination of Work on Human Rights,” which makes reference to the OIC’s new “Independent Permanent Commission on Human Rights” and stipulates that it “shall promote the civil, political, social, and economic rights enshrined in the Organization’s covenants and declarations and in universally agreed human rights instruments, in conformity with Islamic values.” [Emphasis added.] This wording alone should set off alarm bells in view of the OIC’s 1990 Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam (CDHRI), which explicitly declared that when the Muslim ummah (as represented by the OIC) uses the term “human rights,” what is meant is Islamic law (sharia). “Universally agreed” or not, the CDHRI was served as an official document to the U.N. Commission on Human Rights in 1993, thereby creating an established instrument of reference on the Islamic definition of “human rights.”

The foundational documents upon which the Muslim ummah — the OIC — now relies to undergird its sharia agenda were drafted years ago. The 1966 U.N. Commission for Human Rights International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which entered into force in 1976, was based firmly on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and preceded the 1969 creation of the OIC by just a few years. The ICCPR’s Articles 19 (3) and 20 nevertheless foreshadow sharia Islam’s demand for restrictions on free speech in an explicit and chilling way — and, as will be seen, in a way the OIC is trying to exploit:

Article 19

1. Everyone shall have the right to hold opinions without interference

2. Everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression: this right shall include freedom to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas of all kinds, regardless of frontiers, either orally, in writing or in print, in the form of art, or through any other media of this choice

3. The exercise of the rights provided for in paragraph 2 of this article carries with it special duties and responsibilities. It may therefore be subject to certain restrictions, but these shall only be such as provided by law and are necessary.

(a) For respect of the rights or reputations of others;

(b) For the protection of national security or of public order (ordre public), or of public health or morals.

Article 20

1. Any propaganda for war shall be prohibited by law

2. Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law.

Clearly, the OIC is trying to exploit these international standards, as shown in its April 2011 4th Annual Report on Islamophobia posted at its online Islamophobia Observatory. Given the ICCPR’s assertions above, the OIC’s objective has long since been entered into official U.N. language. It required only a narrowing of the focus from the generality of the ICCPR down to the OIC’s exclusive interest in protecting Islam from discrimination. It also required bringing the U.S. on board with the program to enforce Islamic law on slander. With the willing participation of the Obama administration, the OIC has tackled both of these challenges. In Section 6 of the Islamophobia Report, “Conclusions and Recommendations,” the language references the OIC goal of “removing the gaps in international legal instruments” to force the non-Muslim world to comply with its plan to criminalize “slander” of Islam (emphasis added):

d. Ensuring swift and effective implementation of the new approach signified by the consensual adoption of HRC Resolution 16/18, entitled ‘combating intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatization of, and discrimination, incitement to violence, and violence against persons based on religion or belief’, by inter alia, removing the gaps in implementation and interpretation of international legal instruments and criminalizing acts of incitement to hatred and violence…

e. Constructively engaging to bridge divergent views on the limits to the right to freedom of opinion and expression, in a structured multilateral framework…geared toward filling the ‘interpretation void’ with regard to the interface between articles 19(3) and 20 of the ICCPR based on emerging approaches like applying the ‘test of consequences.’

Those “gaps in implementation and interpretation” refer to U.S. objections to criminalizing free speech (in violation of the First Amendment), and the “structured multilateral framework” would appear to be the agenda in Washington, D.C. from December 12 to 14 at the meeting between Clinton and OIC Secretary General Ihsanoglu. It would not be overreaching to conclude that the purpose of this meeting, at least from the OIC perspective, is to convince the Obama administration that free speech that rouses Muslim masses to fury — as defined by the “test of consequences” — must be restricted under U.S. law to bring it into compliance with sharia law’s dictates on slander.

Clinton’s own statements reflect the OIC language on the “gap” (emphasis added):

… together we have begun to overcome the false divide that pits religious sensitivities against freedom of expression, and we are pursuing a new approach based on concrete steps … to use some old-fashioned techniques of peer pressure and shaming, so that people don’t feel that they have the support to do what we abhor.

Despite disingenuous protestations by Clinton, another OIC document likely to be on the table at the Department of State/OIC working sessions abandons all pretense that any other religion besides Islam is the point of discussion. The Resolutions on Political Affairs Adopted by the Thirty-Eighth Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers at the June 2011 OIC Council of Foreign Ministers in Kazakhstan (emphasis added):

5. Affirms that freedoms have to be exercised with responsibility and with due regard for the fundamental rights of others and, in this context, condemns in the strongest possible terms, all blasphemous acts against Islamic principles, symbols and sacred personalities, in particular, the despicable act of burning of the Holy Quran in Florida, USA on 20 March 2011, publication of offensive caricatures of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), all abhorrent and irresponsible statements about Islam and its sacred personalities, and screening of defamatory documentary about the Holy Quran [Wilders' Fitna] and dissemination of this hate material under the pretext of freedom of expression and opinion[.]

Subsequent sections in the same document stress “the need to prevent the abuse of freedom of expression and press for insulting Islam and other divine religions” and to reaffirm “that terrorism cannot and should not be associated with any religion, nationality, civilization or group.” It furthermore:

[c]alls upon all States to prevent any advocacy of religious discrimination, hostility or violence and defamation of Islam by incorporating legal and administrative measures which render defamation illegal and punishable by law, and also urges all Member States to adopt specific and relevant educational measures at all levels[.]

It may be recalled that the Obama administration claimed, obviously incorrectly, that defamation was no longer part of these agreements. The language of these resolutions instead stresses “the importance of expediting the implementation process of its decision on developing a legally binding international instrument to prevent intolerance, discrimination, prejudice and hatred on the grounds of religion, and defamation of religions[.]“

The Department of State is not the only U.S. government agency committed to achieving compliance with the OIC’s “Islamophobia” censorship agenda. The Departments of Justice and Homeland Security both have committed publicly to an overhaul of their training materials to ensure that nothing in the curriculum gives “offense” to Muslim Brotherhood affiliates such as the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) or the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), with which both departments maintain close relationships. Instructors who previously taught the intrinsic connection among Islamic doctrine, law, and scripture and Islamic terrorism henceforth will be blacklisted by the U.S. government. As documented by the intrepid columnist and author Diana West, the Department of Defense also has made its obeisance to Islam, with troop instructions on how to handle the Qur’an and avoid spitting, urinating, or sleeping with feet pointed in the direction of Mecca.

Capping the administration’s campaign to align U.S. national security policy within the parameters of Islamic law, the White House published “Strategic Implementation Plan for Empowering Local Partners to Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States” in December 2011. The plan makes clear that “violent extremism,” not Islamic terrorism, is the primary national security threat to the homeland. According to this “strategy,” the solution is partnership with “local communities” — the term used for the administration’s favored Muslim Brotherhood front groups, which already are using such relationships to silence their critics, both inside and outside government. These new rules of censorship state that the term “violent extremism” can no longer be used in combination with terms like “jihad,” “Islam,” “Islamist,” or “sharia.” And these new rules are already being taught to U.S. law enforcement, homeland security offices, and the military nationwide.

The agenda of this week’s Department of State/OIC meetings may mark an important “milestone,” as Sayyed Qutb might put it, on the pathway to sharia in America. If — under the “test of consequences” — those who speak truth about Islam, sharia, and jihad may be held criminally responsible for the violent actions of those who say they find such truth “offensive,” then, in the future, “violent extremists” could be just about anyone…anyone the government, in obedience to the sharia dictates of the OIC, decides they are.

Further, if the rubric is to be based on this “test of consequence,” then it creates a real temptation to any administration so inclined to “create” consequences that will justify a change in America’s free speech rights. By way of example, analysts have suggested that the motive for the Department of Justice’s “Fast and Furious” scandal, now under congressional investigation, may have been to create a “crisis” — a “consequence” — caused by U.S. guns shipped across the border to Mexican drug-dealers (and used in multiple homicides, including an American Border Protection officer) to “nudge” public consensus to expand gun control laws.

Even if Obama’s State Department seems fully enamored with a “test of consequences” on speech critical of Islam, most Americans across the political spectrum will realize that this perverts the traditional understanding of the First Amendment. It is to be hoped that dedication to the Constitution — rather than to the OIC’s definition of “slander” of Islam or the “test of consequences” — will prevail among the ranks of our national leadership. Regardless of what’s going on behind closed doors at the State Department this week, Americans should be aware — and outraged. An informed citizenry, as always, remains the final defense of the Republic.

Yet American Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) hate crime statistics in Durie’s PowerPoint belie this Islamic victimhood, with attacks upon Jews far outstripping those on Muslims in 2012 (674 to 130). Western states in the past have also often aided their Muslim minorities and Muslim countries, such as when the British government donated land for the United Kingdom’s first mosque, London Central Mosque.” Source

Chilling: Political leader charged with hate crime for quoting Winston Churchill

Criticizing Islam Now a Thought Crime!

Political party leader Paul Weston was arrested by police and faces up to two years in jail for criticizing the religion of Islam during a public speech in the United Kingdom.

Weston’s “racially aggravated” hate crime consisted of him quoting Winston Churchill.

Weston’s arrest reveals the chilling implementation of thought crime in Britain and how political correctness is being used as a weapon with which to destroy the edifice of freedom of speech across the western world.

A quote from an 1899 book by Winston Churchill, “The River War,” in which he describes Muslims he apparently observed during Kitchener’s campaign in the Sudan:

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia (rabies) in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property – either as a child, a wife, or a concubine – must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the faith: all know how to die but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.”

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_was_Winston_Churchill’s_quote_on_Islam

.

He was obviously proving a point. Things have changed a lot since Churchill. Resolution 16/18 already appears to be in the UK. Coming to the USA sooner rather than later if Hillary Clinton and the 57 Islamic states have a say in it. Remember the 57 stated it was their highest priority. Whatever they have on Obama and the Clintons must be big. I’d love to awaken in the morning - read the headlines stating they’d all resigned. heh

Benghazi Follow-Up: Who Told Ben Rhodes To Lie About U-Tube Video ? Our Research Provides The Answer…

Posted on by

The latest discovery of the Ben Rhodes email structuring the Benghazi Talking Points for U.N Ambassador Susan Rice to use on the post Benghazi attack Sunday Talk Shows confirms even more evidence into the White House cover up.

However, with that ‘Rhodes’ smoking gun email, people are asking who directed Ben Rhodes to deliver the false narrative about the Benghazi Attack and the lies about the U-Tube video.

blood on their hands

For over a year-and-a-half we have researched both the attack itself, and the surrounding story coordinated by the various players in and out of the White House.

Within our research we can answer the question:

“Who above Ben Rhodes told him to create the lie”?

If you want to know the answer you must absorb the entire construct, as it developed, because as you are well aware it’s fraught with various degrees of separation and ass covering.

So we’ll walk you through the process to the exact moment when the U-Tube video narrative was first announced, and who announced it. We’ll also prove not only who inside the White House created it, but provide the evidence to rebuke any indication it could have been created outside of the White House.

Back in January 2013 we posted a discussion around a newly released photo from the White House. The picture was taken in the oval office on Sept 11th 2012, the date of the Benghazi attack – but the picture was NOT released until after the election and was dumped in a random White House “year in review” pictorial.

At the time we thought the picture was worth a thousand words. After research, and with the hindsight of the latest revelations, it appears we were correct. Yet again, it provides more sunlight into the events surrounding the Benghazi, Libya events and who made the critical decisions in those moments of crisis. But more importantly for the sake of U-tube lies you can see the origin unfold.

At 5pm-5:30pm, according to the White House and President Obama himself, President Obama was set for a prior scheduled meeting with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Chairman of Joint Chiefs Martin Dempsey.

It was just prior to this meeting that White House National Security Advisor Tom Donilon tells President Obama of the attack and the fire at the main villa. The meeting with Panetta and Dempsey lasted about an hour.

Following the meeting with Panetta, Dempsey and Donilon, at 6:30pm President Obama and Joe Biden took a previously scheduled phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The picture above was taken at exactly 7:28:16pm DC time. It was dusk outside, and President Obama had just completed a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Why is this important?

Because we know the conversation with Obama, Biden and Netanyahu lasted an hour.

Sept 11, 2012 President Obama spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu for an hour tonight as a part of their ongoing consultations. The two leaders discussed the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program, and our close cooperation on Iran and other security issues. (link)

So we know the phone call began around 6:30pm and ended just before 7:28pm.

What is equally important is what was taking place in Libya (Benghazi) during the time the Netanyahu phone call took place.

The attack against the CIA/State Dept. Consulate began at 3:40pm D.C. time. So this phone call between Benjamin Netanyahu and President Obama started three hours after the attack began.

What is also revealing about this photograph is who was where, why, and what decisions were being made.

It might seem odd that both President Obama and Vice-President Biden would simultaneously be tied up, especially given the information about the Benghazi attack which took place just prior to the call itself.

Indeed, in our research, the decision not to postpone the call may be identified as the exact moment when the Benghazi attack, as a ‘Political Bomb’, actually ignited.

Arguably, it is a breach of previously established security protocols for this exact “crisis” and “leadership need” reason.

But, they are used to doing it all the time – and besides, what are the odds of something actually being *THAT* urgent while they are both engaged, and needing one of them immediately.

A massive political reason not to postpone the call is because the political media were beginning to pose the question about Netanyahu and Obama’s relationship.

Indeed the odds are generally slim that one of them would be immediately needed for a crisis decision. Slim, however, in hindsight this was one of those moments when it actually existed; and had massive consequences.

You can see the phone notes in the hands of Joe Biden. If you enhance the picture and zoom in on the notes you can see they are notes, in Biden’s handwriting, of the phone call discussion contents between Netanyahu and Obama.

Whether or not BiBi knew Biden was also on the call is unknown, but he was indeed taking copious notes.

(on the left you see the notes from Biden 9/11/12 - on the right you see notes from Biden taken during the Vice-Presidential debate)

Context of Netanyahu Phone Call: It is important to remember how much flack President/Candidate Obama was getting from the opposition about his previously ignoring Netanyahu around the BiBi United Nations speech.

This call was perceived as important by both the Obama Campaign and White House advisors to a defensive pro-Israel narrative. It could not be skipped by a candidate needing to assure the Jewish electorate of his Israel-Cred. So from 6:30pm to 7:28 pm both Vice-President, Joe Biden, and President Obama, were “indisposed”.

This phone call took place between 12:30pm and 1:28am Benghazi time. Again, three hours after the attack began at 9:40pm. By the time the picture was taken at 7:28pm (DC) Ambassador Stevens was widely known to be missing – perhaps killed.

According to numerous reports, in Benghazi, around the same time, CIA operatives and former SEAL’s Tyrone Woods and Glenn Doherty were returning from the Consulate complex to the CIA annex with the body of State Dept. Aide to Ambassador Stevens, Sean Smith. Ambassador Stevens was missing.

In Libya, during this Oval Office Netanyahu call, Woods and Doherty were setting up defensive positions on the roof of the CIA annex building and maintaining a defensive perimeter while calling for more support.

Annex w-backgate

So we know POTUS and VPOTUS were out-of-the-decision-loop. Who was making the decisions on behalf of the Commander and Chief?

Back to the timeline – and remember, this is the TIMED VERSION initially released to the media:

(5 p.m. D.C.): Just ahead of the weekly meeting with Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Chairman of Joint Chiefs Martin Dempsey, White House National Security Advisor Tom Donilon tells President Obama of the attack and the fire at the main villa….

(6:07 p.m. D.C): An alert from the State Dept. Operations Center states that the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli reports the Islamic military group “Ansar al-Sharia Claims responsibility for Benghazi Attack”… “on Facebook and Twitter and has called for an attack on Embassy Tripoli.”

(6:30 p.m. D.C.) : The Pentagon issues an order to a special operations team in Europe to move to Sigonella, Sicily – less than one hour’s flight away from Benghazi…. [Obama and Biden are now on the phone with Netanyahu] Who is in charge?

(7 p.m. D.C.): The first of two unmanned U.S. Predator drones, which already had been flying over eastern Libya, is diverted to Benghazi, as reported by CBS News’ Sharyl Attkisson and David Martin on Oct. 15. [Obama and Biden are still on the phone with Netanyahu] Who is in charge?

(7:30 p.m. D.C.): A U.S. security team from Embassy Tripoli lands in Benghazi and learn that the ambassador is missing. They try to arrange for transportation into town, with the goal of locating Stevens. [Phone call over - Obama and Biden are being updated by Denis McDonough as per the picture]

White House 9-11-12 Donilon - McDonough

But who was representing the Commander In Chief ? During that critical hour?

This is where you begin to find the origin of the U-Tube Narrative.

(From 2011) With little to no experience guiding them, everything becomes a first-impression type situation to Obama’s inner crew. To the point, Henry Kissinger reportedly, refers to Obama’s group of advisers as, “kids.” [...]

One of Obama’s closest advisers is his Deputy National Security Adviser. The person acting the part of Deputy National Security Adviser is one Denis McDonough. While McDonough enjoys the credentials of a well-educated 41-year-old, he has sparse work experience. Working on the hill as a legislative aide before transferring to a liberal think tank before campaigning for Obama before becoming Deputy National Security Adviser, is good for McDonough but embarrassing to the position which he holds. [...]

McDonough has a reputation around D.C. – as a rabid mind-fixer in his mission to ‘set the record straight’ with democratic politicians and mainstream media types, who dare veer off the political reservation. It’s rather humorous in a way to see a glorified political functionary like McDonough act the part of a seasoned and experienced political heavyweight. McDonough was promoted out of ideological loyalty over convention. Try telling McDonough that and he’ll likely piss ideological vinegar all over you. But the thing with McDonough’s verbal piss, it doesn’t stain things, it can’t… it’s too inexperienced.

Above said, guess who is guiding Obama on the crisis in Egypt and the pending melt-down in the Middle East? If you guessed the low cal aperitivo named Denis McDonough, you would be correct. The United States’ official response to the crisis in Egypt has so far been one big massive embarrassment. President Obama is getting bad advice; advice that is fueling his ideological ego; advice that is clearly immature in nature and devoid of geopolitical experience. (link)

Perhaps this insight from Newt Gingrich , after he spoke to a “key senator” provides some clarity to the “fog”. Gingrich shared this information during an unrelated interview:

“There is a rumor — I want to be clear, it’s a rumor — that at least two networks have emails from the National Security Adviser’s office [Denis McDonough? or Tom Donilon?] telling a counterterrorism group to stand down,” [Newt] Gingrich said.” (link)

Newt Gingrich was specifically talking about his knowledge of a communication known by at least one Senator, and given to two media outlets – who did not use it. It makes sense:

Did Denis McDonough and Tom Donilon tell Pentagon people to “stand down or wait” while POTUS and VPOTUS were on the phone with BiBi and unable to be interrupted ?

At 7:28pm (DC) 1:30am (Benghazi) Denis McDonough was bringing POTUS and VPOTUS up to speed. At that exact moment, events in Benghazi had spiraled. What took place next, and why they did nothing is unknown.

Perhaps, as they later espoused ad infinitum, they considered it too late, after all, this 7:28pm update probably revealed the status of Ambassador Stevens as “Missing presumed Dead”.

Damage control time….. Here comes the first origin of the talking points everyone is now attaching to Communications Director Ben Rhodes…..

Denis McDonough, “the fixer” provided the cover story.

[Pictured: Ben Rhodes, President Obama, Denis McDonough]

The cover story already existed because earlier in the same day the State Dept was getting questioned about the attack in Cairo, Egypt. Again, at another embassy – and a story had already begun about a U-Tube video.

McDonough just needed to continue, and later emphasize, the same narrative story.

Which he did, effectively, the following day: [McDonough on Sept 12th]

“This work takes on added urgency given the truly abhorrent video that has offended so many people–Muslims, and non-Muslims alike—in our country and around the world.” (link)

THIS date and speech IS CRITICAL:

RIGHT THERE you have Denis McDonough, the very next morning, September 12th, attaching the little known U-Tube video from the Cairo Embassy explanation, directly to the Benghazi, Libya attack.

Why this McDonough speech is so critical is because what the White House was being told at the exact same moment McDonough was talking.

John Brennan the CIA Director, James Clapper the Director of Intelligence, and Leon Panetta who was Secretary of Defense at the time, all three of them the day it happened, actually it was the morning of the 12th, said that it was an organized terrorist attack and they told the President that. [...] all three testified under oath about that day (link)

Remember, Brennan, Clapper and Panetta told Obama this BEFORE he walked into the Rose Garden and delivered his now famous, and well debated, line about the attack being an “act of terror” caused by a U-Tube video.

Brennan, Clapper and Panetta told Obama that Ansar al-Sharia (al-Qaeda in Libya) were to blame for a “terrorist attack on our Benghazi compound”. Meanwhile Denis McDonough was saying it was a “protest” as a result of a “U-Tube video“.

We all know which of those narratives President/Candidate Obama chose.

Denis ‘the fixer’ McDonough was specifically blaming the U-Tube video. AND McDonough’s job was/is to protect POTUS.

Mike Morell, acting CIA Director, testified to congress he never told anyone the Benghazi incident was the result of a U-Tube video, and was “surprised” as he watched TV that Susan Rice was attributing the video to the cause of the Benghazi attack. AND Morell’s job was/is to protect HILLARY CLINTON.

The impetus of the instructions to Communications Director, Ben Rhodes, came from the man who is not only close to Obama, but was with him in the Oval Office as the crisis unfolded and who is now his Chief of Staff, Denis McDonough.

Ben Rhodes’s brother, David Rhodes, is the President of CBS News.

ben rhodes 1

The same CBS News that would not allow their own investigative reporter Sharyl Attkisson to follow up on the Benghazi story; eventually resulting in Attkisson quitting the network. The same Sharyl Attkisson who had her phones tapped and her computer hacked both at home and at work while she was initially following the Benghazi story.

What followed in the days, weeks, and even months after the September 12th U-Tube talking points, was just a continuance of the same manufactured explanation during the “peak” of the 2012 election cycle.

After all, it was this same 41-year-old “kid”, McDonough, who was the key deflector between POTUS and the crisis that was “Fast and Furious“:

“Investigative journalists have provided details on McDonough’s background and work history in politics, but the information that makes McDonough relevant to the continually breaking news on the Fast and Furious scandal is his role in silencing complaints from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)…” (link)

If the media would set their mind to it they might find this picture is worth “A Thousand Words” indeed:

Turkey May Day protesters clash with police in Istanbul

Water cannon and rubber bullets used against demonstrators trying to reach Taksim square, centre of last year’s uprising

Turkish police have fired teargas, water cannon and rubber bullets to stop May Day protesters, some armed with firebombs, from defying the prime minister and reaching Istanbul’s central Taksim square.

Citing security fears, authorities shut parts of the city’s public transport system, erected steel barricades and deployed thousands of riot police to block access to Taksim, a traditional union rallying point and the focus of weeks of anti-government protests last summer.

The PM, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan – who warned last week he would not let labour unions march on Taksim – says both last year’s street protests and a corruption scandal dogging his government since December are part of a plot to undermine him.

The Istanbul governor’s office said it had received advanced information that “illegal terror organisations and their extensions” would resort to violence to stoke unrest. But the security measures failed to deter thousands of people from trying to march, with pockets of protesters playing cat and mouse with police in teargas-shrouded side streets.

Demonstrators in surrounding neighbourhoods repeatedly tried to breach police lines blocking the way to Taksim, a normally teeming shopping and tourism district that lay virtually deserted and ringed by security checkpoints.

Some 40 people were hospitalised and around 160 detained, according to the Progressive Lawyers Association.

In the working class Okmeydani district, members of leftist groups threw firebombs and fireworks at security forces, who responded with rubber pellets. Similar clashes erupted in March at the funeral of teenager Berkin Elvan, who had lain in a coma after being wounded in last year’s unrest.

Elvan’s image was displayed on a giant poster on Thursday as some of the protesters chanted “Berkin’s murderer” at police. “This is a day of struggle. We’re not trying to reach Taksim to celebrate but to resist … We don’t want violence and whenever May Day was allowed in Taksim, it was peaceful,” said Caglar, 37, a teacher and leftist activist, clutching a scarf and a homemade antacid mixture to protect against the tear gas.

Police also used water cannon and gas to disperse more than a thousand demonstrators in the capital Ankara, where the centre of the city was on lockdown, with a heavy security presence and police helicopters buzzing overhead.

The authorities issued a similar ban last year, leading to thousands of anti-government protesters fighting with police as they tried to breach barricades around the huge square, which in previous years was a focal point for labour demonstrations.

That violence was followed by mass protests that spread across Turkey last May, in one of the biggest challenges to Erdoğan’s rule since his AK party came to power in 2002.

“Give up your hope of Taksim,” Erdoğan said at an AK party meeting in parliament last week.

The prime minister has in the past dismissed protesters as “riff-raff” and “terrorists” and pointed to his AK party’s strong showing in elections.

The AK party dominated the electoral map in municipal polls on 30 March, retaining control of both Istanbul and Ankara despite the corruption scandal and last summer’s unrest.

But Erdoğan has faced criticism from abroad, not least from the European Union, which Turkey aspires to join, over restrictions on freedom of speech including a two-week ban on Twitter and last summer’s police crackdown on demonstrations.

Pressure Builds Over Germany’s Secretive Drones Strikes Which Killed Thousands of Civilians

Recent revelations over German complicity in US drone strikes will tomorrow cast a shadow over Chancellor Angela Merkel’s talks with President Barack Obama in Washington.

Investigative journalists in Germany recently revealed Ramstein, a US base in the country, to be a major data centre for the secretive strikes, which have killed thousands of civilians in countries such as Yemen and Pakistan. Legal charity Reprieve this week revealed that a strike in Yemen over the Easter weekend killed four builders on their way to work, leaving at least 20 children fatherless.

The Ramstein findings contradict claims made by both leaders at their last meeting in June 2013, when Obama dismissed reports that US bases in Germany had been used for drone attacks. He told journalists: “We do not use Germany as a launching point for unmanned drones […] as part of our counterterrorism activities. […] I know that there have been some reports here in Germany that that might be the case. That is not.” During the same visit, Merkel spoke of Ramstein as filling “a very important function”, saying “our work is based […] on shared values.”

Recent questions in the German parliament have increased pressure on Merkel to reveal the true extent of Germany’s involvement in the strikes, but there is little evidence that the government plans to challenge the Obama administration over them.

Kat Craig, Legal Director at Reprieve, said: “One year on from Chancellor Merkel’s assertions about shared US-German ‘values’, the extent of Washington’s use of German soil to perpetrate illegal killings is clear. Despite Obama’s promises to the German people last year, the number of civilian deaths from these secretive drone strikes is higher than ever, and the response of the German government has been to ignore the issue. It is high time that Merkel raised concerns with Obama about the launching of illegal drone strikes from Germany – concerns that are echoing loudly throughout her country. ”

Journalists are writing as if they live in a sovereign country which hasn’t been the case for decades.  The USA isn’t the only big bad wolf – one needs to start investigating who is really giving the orders. Merkel and Obama are but CEO’s of the unelected leaders of the EU. who are under the auspices of the UN, which is the office of the “Company”. So it’s really USA Inc., Germany Inc., and so on…The Monarchs or their Financial Advisors, such as Rothchild, have never lost control and continue cling to their self-declared Divine Right to Rule. If the did, and the know it, they wouldn’t last a decade since they produce nothing. And yes, I know their corporate media tells you otherwise…The Bank of England has been producing paper money since 1694 when King Billy gave his royal stamp of approval and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why…

Bottomline: these “royal” and their “aristocratic” friends are people think we’re lower than…listen carefully to what they say and write and not how they smile and smooze while sticking a knife in your back.

No more wars for the Houses of the Bankster-Gangsters! They’ve already killed billions since their “adventures” and “excursions” over the centuries. Enough already!


Ukrainian Crisis Was Always About Containing Russia

A secret no more, NATO’s continued existence is hegemonic in nature – its meddling in Ukraine an act of war against Russia

By Tony Cartalucci Global Research, May 01, 2014 Land Destroyer Report

 

NATOexpansion

.

To careful and honest observers of the events unfolding in Ukraine, it was clear from the beginning that the US and EU through NATO were creating unrest in an attempt to foster regime change in Kiev. They had done so already, admittedly according to the Guardian which would admit in its 2004 article, “US campaign behind the turmoil in Kiev,” that:

…while the gains of the orange-bedecked “chestnut revolution” are Ukraine’s, the campaign is an American creation, a sophisticated and brilliantly conceived exercise in western branding and mass marketing that, in four countries in four years, has been used to try to salvage rigged elections and topple unsavoury regimes.

Funded and organised by the US government, deploying US consultancies, pollsters, diplomats, the two big American parties and US non-government organisations, the campaign was first used in Europe in Belgrade in 2000 to beat Slobodan Milosevic at the ballot box.

The Western media has attempted to sidestep this inconvenient chapter in history and paper over what is an overt repeat of the so-called “Orange Revolution” but with the addition of snipers and mystery gunmen sowing violence alongside battalions of literal Neo-Nazi militants, armed and clamoring to back Ukraine’s integration into the EU and eventually NATO.

The constitution of the opposition that has since seized power and is occupying the Ukrainian capital city of Kiev, is a mixture of bigots, racists, Neo-Nazis, and anti-Semites – all bent in eager capitulation to Western interests including the IMF’s desire to impose crippling austerity upon the population. It was no surprise then that the majority of Ukraine’s diverse population, which includes Russian-speakers, Jews, and other minorities,quickly rose up against the unelected regime. Despite the West’s best attempts to bolster the legitimacy of the regime, including visits from both the US Vice President himself and the CIA director, the uprisings have spread and intensified.

Image: Armored vehicles deployed by the regime occupying Kiev are part of an ongoing campaign to put down multiplying uprising across the south and east of Ukraine. Almost immediately much of Ukraine’s Russian speaking communities turned on the unelected regime in Kiev, with more likely to join them as mismanagement, incompetence, and foreign influence further mire the country in socioeconomic turmoil.

 

Attempts by the Western media to parade out in front of the global public, token “Jews,” claiming they wholly support the Neo-Nazi regime illegally occupying their nation’s capital is undermined by reports from Ukraine’s last round of actual elections in 2010. The Jewish Week reported then in an article titled, “Change For Ukraine, But Likely Not For Jews,” that:

In a country where anxieties about anti-Semitism are never far from the surface, Viktor Yanukovich’s victory in Ukraine’s presidential election is being welcomed with caution by Ukrainian Jews.

Yanukovich, who has close ties to the Kremlin, replaces Viktor Yushchenko, his West-leaning rival who won five years ago in a second runoff election between the candidates. Widespread protests claiming fraud in favor of Yanukovich in the original runoff spurred the rematch. The pro-democracy protests became known as the Orange Revolution.

As mentioned, the “Orange Revolution” was admittedly US-orchestrated, and yielded what Ukrainian Jews called “a rise in nationalism” which they claim is always “accompanied with the rise of anti-Semitism.”

Of course, President Yanukovich has been run out of power by literal Neo-Nazis. One must wonder what has changed across Ukraine’s Jewish communities that now make such a violent and abrupt transition suddenly “ok.” The answer of course is that Ukraine’s Jews are terrified, their voice simply drowned out by Western propaganda like the Guardian’s “Russia’s propaganda war is a danger for Ukraine’s Jews.” In it, Timothy Snyder claims:

The current Ukrainian government, we were told, was composed of antisemites, fascists, and Nazis. Russian intervention was required, went the argument, to rescue the Jews of Ukraine.

This version was peddled to the west, where it had some effect, but interestingly it failed entirely in Ukraine itself. Putin seems to have believed that Jewish people in Ukraine would identify with Russia, especially in times of threat. This was one of his many mistakes.

Ukrainian Jews, especially those from the major communities of Kiev and Dnipropetrovsk, made clear to me that they had no desire to be protected by Russia. Jews in Ukraine understand Russia far better than anyone in the west Jewish or otherwise.

“Made it clear to me…” Of course Snyder cites no organizations or leaders who told him anything, made no direct quotes nor linked to any official statement from any representative body among Ukraine’s Jews. We are to believe Snyder’s claims, apparently, because he says so.

This pattern is repeated across the Western media, except curiously enough, in the BBC which actually interviewed the Nazis Snyder claims are the creations of Russian propaganda. Not only did the BBC prove the existence of Neo-Nazis running rampant across Kiev, but proved that they were very much armed and had run their political opposition out of the capital quite literally. One interview takes place in Ukraine’s Communist Party headquarters now defaced with Nazi slogans and symbolism and occupied by the armed Neo-Nazi militants themselves.

Thus, despite the best efforts of the West’s media and politicians to claim the Nazi militants they used to overrun Kiev are creations of Russian propaganda, the truth exists in plain sight. The inability of the West to check Russia’s counterstrokes in Crimea and eastern Ukraine is precisely due to the fact that neither the people of the East nor the West believe what Washington, London, or Brussels are saying.

NATO, Nazis, and the “Expansion of Europe”

Image: Atlantic Council’s corporate members.

So what is NATO doing with Nazi militants in Ukraine? The same thing Adolf Hitler was doing – establishing “breathing room.” While the West attempts publicly to portray the crisis in Ukraine as Europe reacting to Russian aggression, behind semi-closed doors they are very open about their agenda in Ukraine and elsewhere along Russia’s peripheries – it is and always was about the expansion of Europe and the containment of Russia.

Recently the corporate-funded NATO think tank, the Atlantic Council, celebrated what it called, “anniversaries of crucial importance to the transatlantic community, including the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the 15th anniversary of NATO’s first post-Cold War enlargement, and the 10th anniversary of the “big bang” enlargements of both the European Union and NATO.” These “enlargements” all took place after the fall of the Cold War – in other words, after NATO’s mandate for existing expired. Yet the alliance continued to grow, and not only did it grow, in tandem with the European Union, it did so directly toward Moscow’s doorstep with every intention of eventually absorbing Russia as well.

In fact, many of the same organizations standing behind the unelected regime in Kiev, have been directing unrest within Russia as well. And in turn, Russian opposition leaders backed by Western-cash and diplomatic support have vocally supported the regime in Kiev.

In reality, what we have witnessed over the past several months is not “Russian aggression,” but the premeditated destabilization and overthrow of the elected government of Ukraine, and a resulting, and continuously escalating confrontation with Russia as Moscow reacts to the reappearance of Nazis along its borders, backed by NATO and the EU.

I’ve been reading this authors work for a long time and trust him in his reporting. On the odd occasion when I don’t have time to read it first – I’ll post it anyway which says a lot. Watch the video – the BBC continues to talk about the “far right” yet some ascribe to being  “national socialists” like Hitler. Personally I’m not into labels since they’re placed in our way to confuse but here’s a theory in which one can believe:

Horseshoe theorists argue that the extreme left and the extreme right are a lot more similar than members of either group would admit.

The horseshoe theory in political science asserts that rather than the far left and the far right being at opposite and opposing ends of a linear political continuum, they in fact closely resemble one another, much like the ends of a horseshoe. The theory is attributed to French writer Jean-Pierre Faye.[1]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horseshoe_theory

They are one and the same. Not good!!!

The objective is to keep the country in a state of destabilization, a state of flux, until the cartel cleans out the resources and signs the contracts. The PM, a mentor of Pinuk, was a Central Banker and as such in line with the IMF and World Bank tactics. Pinuk is in trouble with his steele company and the US for legitimate wrongdoings – one can only but surmise there’s some kind of deal going on there w/ Hillary Clinton (at the time)…since Pinuk is ready to lose his company worth billions. Pinuk is a member of the International Crisis Group – search here or the web – wiki uses this site as a critic of this vile outfit.


Brunei Adopts Shariah Law – Others in Region Consider it

KUALA LUMPUR, April 30 — The sultanate of Brunei this week becomes the first East Asian country to introduce Islamic criminal law, the latest example of a deepening religious conservatism that has also taken root in parts of neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia.

Brunei, a tiny former British protectorate of about 400,000 nestled between two Malaysian states on Borneo island, relies on oil and gas exports for its prosperity, with annual per capita income of nearly US$50,000 (RM163,000). It is the first country in east Asia to adopt the criminal component of sharia at a national level.

Run by Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, 67, Brunei has no national elections, but any discontent has been assuaged by high, tax-free incomes and benefits like free education and health care.

By 2035, though, Brunei’s net exports of oil and gas will almost halve, according to the Asian Development Bank. Efforts to diversify the economy have made limited progress.

The sultan, said by diplomats to have become more religious, announced the introduction of sharia as a “great achievement”.

From today, residents of the country dominated by Malay Muslims face conviction by Islamic courts and fines or jail terms for offences like pregnancy outside marriage, failure to perform Friday prayers, and propagating other religions.

A second phase comes into effect 12 months later covering offences for theft and alcohol consumption by Muslims, punishable by whipping and amputations.

The death penalty, including by stoning, will be introduced in the final phase a year later for offences including adultery, sodomy and insulting the Koran or the Prophet Muhammad.

Most of the laws will also apply to non-Muslims.

That raises concern among Western workers in the oil sector and tens of thousands of ethnic Chinese Bruneians and 30,000 mostly Roman Catholic Filipino migrant workers. About 20 per cent of residents are non-Muslim, including substantial Buddhist and Christian communities.

The United Nations Commission on Human Rights denounced the new system for applying the death penalty to a wide range of offences. Several of the penalties constitute torture under international law, said Emerlynne Gil, Southeast Asia legal adviser for the International Commission of Jurists.

“A lot of these provisions and penalties discriminate against women. Stoning to death normally has a huge impact on women because more often than not they are found guilty of these crimes,” Gil told Reuters.

US news reports this week said celebrities, including US television personality Ellen DeGeneres and British actor Stephen Fry, had launched a boycott of a hotel chain owned by the sultan on grounds that the new laws criminalised homosexuality.

Brunei’s religious affairs ministry, which is coordinating the implementation of the new laws, did not respond to Reuters request for comment.

A Christian priest in Brunei contacted by Reuters said he was concerned by the development, but hoped the new system would be enforced less strictly than set down in the written law.

“They have been giving seminars to different groups to clarify,” said the priest, who declined to be identified. Authorities, he said, “seem genuinely concerned” at suggestions that the system would have an all-pervasive enforcement network.

Expert says no extremes

Brunei’s top Islamic scholar denied any suggestion the system would lead to extremes, persecution or cruelty.

“It is not indiscriminate cutting or stoning or caning,” Awang Abdul Aziz was quoted as saying by state media after the law was announced. “There are conditions and there are methods that are just and fair.”

Brunei officials have said there will be a high burden of proof required to sentence suspects to harsher punishments. They say criminal cases rose by a third between 2000 and 2008. Arrests for drug abuse surged 50 per cent last year from 2012.

Diplomats say it remains unclear how the new system will work in practice and operate alongside the police and courts under the existing British-based legal system.

The religious turn taken by the sultan contrasts with a reputation for decadent excess gained by the royal family.

Late pop idol Michael Jackson was paid a reported US$17 million to give a concert in Brunei in 1996 to mark the sultan’s 50th birthday.

Details of the lavish lifestyle of the sultan’s brother, former finance minister Prince Jefri, including owning hundreds of luxury cars and a large yacht – became public during a family legal feud.

Critics say the new penal code will give authorities expanded powers to stifle dissent at a time when palace officials are concerned about dwindling energy reserves.

A common concern among the palace elite is that the gas is going to run out. The population’s loyalty has been bought with gas money,” said Maung Zarni, a visiting fellow at the London School of Economics who quit the Darussalam Brunei University in 2013 over what he said was a lack of academic freedom.

Responding to a rare outbreak of dissent on social media, the sultan warned in February that anyone criticising the new laws could be punished under their provisions. Strengthening the governing principle of “Malay Islamic Monarchy”, he said, was a crucial “firewall” against globalisation, he said.

Leaders of Malaysia’s Islamist PAS party, part of the opposition, say the move has accelerated their bid to install sharia punishments in Kelantan state, which they control.

A PAS plan to introduce a bill is sowing divisions within the opposition, with critics saying it would be at odds with Malaysia’s secular national constitution.

In Indonesia, some districts have sharia-inspired bylaws but Aceh is the only province allowed to implement it as law. The province has its own sharia police force and courts that enforce strict laws against gambling, promiscuity and alcohol. — Reuters

It’s well known that these “royals” are part of the so-called jet set. They pretend to be “religious” when the world knows they’re not by their actions.

And we all know who benefits from this “religious” control – unfortunately the uneducated and poor are manipulated by their imams and believe everything they’re told.

As we have seen, any categorical and metaphysical denial of the moral order will inexorably lead to radical deceptions and sometimes covert operations.

Freemasonry, as a secret society and judaizing movement, is not only part of those deceptions but is congruent with Jewish magic and mysticism.[1] Only those in the upper echelon actually know what is exactly going on. As Jones documents,

“The deeper the adept penetrates, the more Talmudic are the mysteries revealed to him. The Rosicrusian, for example, is taught the inscription INRI which was nailed to the Cross means not Iesus Nazarensis Rex Iudeorum, but rather the ‘Iew of Nazareth Led into Iudea,’ a reading which deprives Christ of his divinity and reasserts the Talmudic calumny that Christ was a common criminal who deserved to be executed:

“‘As soon as the candidate has proved that he understands the Masonic meaning of this inscription INRI, the Master exclaims, My dear Brethren, the word is found again, and all present applaud this luminous discovery, that—He whose death was the consummation and the grand mystery of the Christian Religion was no more than a common Jew crucified for his crimes.’

“To be initiated into the higher degrees of Freemasonry, the adept must agree to become an assassin of the assassin of Adoniram. He must be willing to assassinate Christ and his representatives on earth.

“The revolutionary intent of Freemasonry becomes clear when the adept is informed that he must be willing to kill the king. Mystical Masonry is synonymous with Revolution. ”[2]

Quoting Barruel, Jones writes,

“When the adept sallies forth from the cavern with the reeking head, he cries Nekom (I have killed him)….

“The adept is informed that till now he has only been partially admitted to the truth; that Equality and Liberty, which had constituted the first secret on his admission into Masonry, consisted in recognizing no superior on earth, and in viewing Kings and Pontiffs in another light than as men on a level with their fellow men, having no rights to sit on the throne, or to serve at the altar, but what the people had granted them.”[3]

Kinsey and Kenneth Anger at Croley's Abbey of Thelema

What a coincidence that Aleister Crowley, a 33rd degree mason who ended up having a master effect on pop music, who held “group orgies” as part of his regular rituals (including small children), and who ended up influencing sex perverts such as Alfred Kinsey,[4] also performed similar rituals. During one particular ceremony, he blasphemed Christ and intoned his own malediction:

“Lo, Jesus of Nazareth, how thou art taken in my snare. All my life long thou hast plagued me and affronted me. In thy name—with all other free souls in Christendom—I have been tortured in my boyhood; all delights have been forbidden unto me, and that which is owed to me they pay not—in thy name.

“Now at last I have thee…the Slave-God is in the power of the Lord of Freedoom…Give thou place to me, O Jesus; thine eon is passed; the Age of Horus is arisen by the Master the Great Beast that is a man…

“I To Mega Therion therefore condemn thee Jesus the Slave-God to be mocked and spat upon and scourged and then crucified.”[5]

Some scholars would point out that “Rosicrucianism played an important role in the formation of Freemasonry.”[6] If that is the case, then we have another piece of evidence on our hands which clearly indicates that a marriage between Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism is almost unavoidable.

Denis Diderot

Both Freemasonry and Rosicrucianism, at their eventual root, sought to denigrate and attack Christ and this was very important during the French Revolution. Since that was the case, again the marriage between the French Revolution and Jewish movements were two sides of the same coin.

Isaac M. Wise wrote in 1866 that “Masonry is a Jewish institution, whose history, degrees, charges, passwords and explanations are Jewish from beginning to end.”[7]

There are some scholars on the other end of the spectrum who would argue that Freemasonry played little or no part in the French Revolution, despite the fact that it was widespread and was embraced by the philosophes. R. R. Palmer somewhat ascribes to that position. He writes,

“The Masonic lodges provided a kind of international network of like-minded people. Their existence facilitated the circulation of ideas. But the lodges took no orders from any headquarters, their members never acted as a group, and their very taste for elaborate mystification made them innocuous if not ridiculous in real political life.”[8]

The French Revolution, as we have seen, belies this claim. To reemphasize, the Encyclopedists were almost exclusively Freemasons and had one abiding principle: to attack the moral order in all its areas and to replace it with their own agenda, which they called “Reason.”

The Encyclopedists really wanted to cross the sexual Rubicon. For example, Diderot’s 1748 novel Les Bijous Indiscrets was “midly pornographic…”[9]

Moreover, if the “Masonic lodges provided a kind of international network,” and the Encyclopedists were intellectually and politically agitating the masses and anyone who would listen to take actions in the Revolution, it is irrational and irresponsible to say that Freemasonry played little role in political life.

Isaac M. Wise

Jewish historian Margaret C. Jacob ascribes to a somewhat more irresponsible view of the Masonic lodges. She writes that the lodges did not seek to create revolution, but

“sought to inculcate civic virtue. They placed a great emphasis on living by laws and constitutions, on voting and oratory, and on charitable works.”[10]

There were indeed some Catholics who were members of the Masonic lodges, and there are even some sodomites who have crept in over the years,[11] thanks to the sexual undercover work of Wilhelm Reich.[12]

But the Catholic Church in general has always opposed Freemasonry from its inception largely because they view it as a dark, secret, and anti-Christian activity, which only a select few are allowed to know.

In 1738, the Pope condemned Freemasonry because it was perceived to be not only anti-Christian but subversive.[13] Of course Freemasonry does mention a form of “brotherhood” for the initiates, but the higher one goes, the more things change and the more he learns about the ideas that lurk beneath the surface.

Jacob can see that Freemasonry played at least some role in the French Revolution, but she still cannot explain the fact that the revolutionaries were almost all Freemasons. To cite again philo-Semitic historian Will Durant, the Masonic lodge

bijousserved as a refuge for deists and as a center of political intrigue; it became a channel of English influence, and prepared the way for the philosophers.”[14]

If Masonic lodges “provided members with an opportunity to orate, to vote, to pay dues, and to abide by rules and constitutions,”[15] why did hundreds of Catholic priests who did not agree with the Masonic revolution have to die?

Why did “executions” actually “become a daily ritual, producing a Reign of Terror” which left more than thirty thousand people dead between 1793 and 1794?[16] Scholar Michael Allen Gillespie writes,

“the Reign of Terror had an extraordinary impact on the intellectual elite of its time, shattering their faith that reason could rule the world, that progress was inevitable, and that the spread of enlightenment would usher in an age of peace, prosperity, and human freedom.

“The Terror convinced them that when universal reason came to power it wore a devil’s mask and opened up the gates not of heaven but of hell.”[17]

I would slightly disagree with Gillespie here. The Reign of Terror was not based on reason but on essentially Masonic principles, which ended up using universal reason as a pretension.

As we have already seen, the philosophes who were committed to the Enlightenment project were overwhelmingly freemasons—and Voltaire was no exception.


After he was initiated into the Nine Sisters Lodge of the Freemasons, the chairman of the lodge made a speech with respect to Voltaire’s initiation, saying,

“We swear to help our brothers, but you have been the founder of an entire colony which adores you and which overflows with your benefactions…You, much beloved brother, have been a Freemason before you received the degree…and you have fulfilled the obligations of a Freemason before you promised to keep them.”[18]

In other words, according to the chairman, Voltaire’s revolutionary ideology was consistent with Freemasonry even when Voltaire was not aware of it. In fact, Voltaire constantly received positive accolades from the Lodge.[19] Why?

Because Voltaire, according to Will Durant’s own assessment, was weakening the Church’s political power.[20] And this was fully congruent with the Masonic lodge.

Some, like Jacques-Rene Hebert, “followed Voltairean rationalism, encouraged the desecration of churches, and set up the public worship of the Goddess of Reason” by 1793.[21]

palmerEric Hobsbawn can talk about a “fairly coherent social group” that gave the French Revolution “effective unity,” including Freemasonry,[22] and moves on to say, “If there was a flourishing religion among the eighteenth century elite, it was rationalist, illuminist and anti-clerical Freemasonry.”[23]

According to this premise, it simply does not make sense to say that Freemasonry had no effect on the French Revolution. In the end, Jacob had to admit that Freemasonry had some role in the revolution:

“Unquestionably, the Masonic lodges and prominent Freemasons did play a political role in the revolution, but it would be naïve to imagine that they conspired to bring it about. History simply does not work that way.

“Yet…it would be naïve to imagine that Masonic lodges…possess no discernible political ideology and interest.”[24]

If they did not conspire to bring it about, who was the culprit? Or does Jacob try to tell us that the revolution happened by itself?

When the French Revolution broke out, the Masonic Encyclopedists who presumably preached “Reason” and Liberte, L’egalite, and Fraternite had to persecute the Catholics who opposed the Revolution in the first place.

This “fraternity,” as it turned out, was only all-inclusive so long that one did not stand in opposition to the fraternity. Barruel had to flee to London in order to save his skin.

About 8,000 to 10,000 Catholics also had to take refuge in Protestant England. Both Edmund Burke and King George III made great efforts to rescue Catholics in France during that period.[25]

Jacob treats Barruel’s work as “paranoia,” but cannot help to use it as a way to “approach” the study of “European history.”[26]


collaborationFreemasonry seems to have lain dormant after the French Revolution among intellectual revolutionaries, but it got its reprisal in the twentieth century—this time during World War II. One individual who was doing research on this very subject was noted French historian Bernard Fay.

Fay was educated at Harvard, became a professor of history at College de France, and eventually became the general administrator of the Bibliotheque Nationale.

Fay began to search the archives in order to give a detailed account of Freemasonry and how it was largely the backdrop of the French Revolution. Not only that, Fay saw that Freemasonry was having a come-back in his own time. Fay was what one might call an “archivist,” that is, he believed in documented evidence.

Fay’s account here is taken from Barbara Will. Building her argument from Jacques Derrida’s premise, Will faults Fay for what Derrida called “archive fever.”[27]

Summoning Derrida to build her case proves to be detrimental to Will’s cause, because Derrida did not believe in objective truth. For Derrida, archives can never lead to truth—on the contrary, archives “work against stable or positivistic knowledge or historical meaning.”[28]

“The archive,” Derrida tells us, “always works…against itself.”[29] If they always do, then why do we have them? Well, for Derrida, archivists are compulsively “sick” because they seek knowledge in archives.[30] Once again following Derrida’s premise, Will writes,

“And as someone who staked his entire career on archival knowledge, Bernard Fay also succumbed to the fever that would work against this knowledge, leading his career down ever more paranoid and delusional paths.”[31]

Bernard Fay

The only way that Derrida could come up with these ridiculous ideas was because he was following the ideological tenets of postmodernism, which is Jewish in its intellectual orientation. As such, he had to dismiss any document that might lead one closer to the truth.

As Jones puts it, “Political correctness was the final expression of the Talmudic redefinition of American discourse which had begun in the ‘70s under the direction of Jewish critical theories like [Stanley] Fish and Derrida.”[32]

After Derrida delivered a lecture at Johns Hopkins University on deconstructionism, postmodernism began to take shape not only in academia but in culture as well. Lawrence D. Kritzman, Brian J. Reilly, and Malcolm DeBevoise tell us,

“With this paper [La structure, le signe, et le jeus dans le discourse des sciences humaines] the incipient movement was effectively launched: for the first time the elements of the poststructuralist program were laid out as part of an inquiry that was utterly different from the one that had prevailed under the name of structuralism in the strict sense.”[33]

Derrida was a revolutionary, and he made no apology when he wrote:

“It is true that my interest in literature, diaries, journals in general, also signified a typical, stereotypical revolt against the family.

“My passion for Nietzsche, Rousseau, and also Gide, whom I read a lot at that time, meant among other things: ‘Families, I hate you.’ I thought of literature as the end of the family, and of the society it represented, even if that family was also, on the other hand, persecuted.”[34]

derrida (1)Literature, then, was for Derrida a weapon with which he could attack ultimate truth. He put it quite bluntly:

“If the philosophical question seemed at least as necessary to me, this is perhaps because I had a presentiment that there could be sometimes an innocence or irresponsibility, or even an impotence, in literature.

“Not only can one say everything in literature without there being any consequences, I thought, no doubt naively, but at bottom the writer as such does not ask the question of the essence of literature.”[35]

If postmodernism/relativism is true, then there is no need for historical scholarship, for any “text” is relative to all other “texts,” though they may pronounce completely contradictory statements.

Furthermore, since no ultimate truth exists in the end, one statement is as valid as another. Consistent with this frame of mind is the idea that there is no need to sift fact from fiction, truth from error; astronomy is no better than astrology, chemistry is no better than alchemy.

Will would have made a much more historically rigorous point had she not relied on Derrida’s self-defeating philosophy to draw some of her conclusions. As Professor R. V. Young of North Carolina State University put it, “Rather than a frontal assault on metaphysics, Derrida proposes subversion from within.”[36]

Sarah Hammerschlag

Similarly, late French philosopher Maurice Blanchot implicitly argued that Derrida’s Deconstructionism is rabbinic in its ideological orientation. This led scholar Sarah Hammerschlag to say, “This rabbinic reading could be intended to remind Derrida that he may be closer to Judaism that he would expect.”[37] Hammerschlag moves on to declare that

“Judaism, as it signifies in modernity, develops a particular political and ethical importance in his thought: it appears as one of the key sites through which he highlights his concerns with the problems of negotiating between political/philosophical claims to universality and structures of exclusivity…being Jewish becomes the very site at which the very possibility of such an opposition can be deconstructed.

“Moreover, he sees being Jewish as the key site and the source for deconstruction itself: ‘Being-Jewish would be more than and the other than the simple strategic or methodological lever of a general deconstruction, it would be the experience of deconstruction itself, its chance, its menace, its destiny, its earthquake.”[38]


ChurchillWills writes that Fay began to cooperate with Nazi Germany, which eventually took the lives of hundreds of Freemasons. Yet whenever Fay declares something that seems to contradict her thesis, she doesn’t believe him. She writes,

“Fay would later claim that he hid the volume [archival documents about freemasonry] from Nazi seizure; at his trial, he even brought forward evidence from a French Freemason thanking Fay for having ‘done excellent work’ in saving Masonic archives from the occupying forces.”

Yet even then, Will declares that “it is also interesting to speculate about other motives driving Fay—this historian of Freemasonry turned ideologue and inquisitor—to hoard Masonic archives in his private home.”

In order to make this point, Will admits that she had to step “outside of history for a moment.”[39]

It is conceivable that Nazi Germany would persecute Freemasons, for Hitler himself was anti-mason.[40] Propaganda against Freemasonry was quite rampant in the Third Reich.[41]

Put simply, both Derrida and Will are not interested in archival documents, even though Will quotes some archival documents in her book (only to prove her points), which make the story even more ambiguous. According to Will’s account,

“According to information presented at Fay’s 1946 trial, six thousand Freemasons were directly questioned or placed under surveillance over the course of the war, 989 were deported to concentration camps, and 549 were killed, either by firing squad or through deportation.”[42]

She admits, however, “No document exists that directly links Fay to these deportations or killings; whatever involvement he had in the system that facilitated these actions was steps removed from their terrible final outcome.”[43]

Some would tend to lean toward the view that Fay was an anti-Semite, but Will again writes,

“Fay had enough Jewish friends before and during the war—including, of course, Gertrude Stein…The list of Fay’s Jewish supporters at his trial reinforces this claim, as do attestations by even the most critical of his colleagues. One Jewish friend, Denise Aime Azam, was vocal enough in her support of Fay to call him her protector during the war.”[44]

Will agrees that Fay was not an anti-Semite.[45] But Will seems to find it puzzling that Masonic members around that time were largely Jews, and Fay was radically anti-Masonic.[46] As a result, Will declares,

“Beyond a few chosen exceptions, the Jews and their unhappy fate mattered little to Bernard Fay. They were casualties of the ‘cleaning-up operations’ required to purge France of a century and a half of democratic decadence.”[47]


winston-churchill

The French Revolution and its bloody aftermath clearly indicated that Winston Churchill’s bold declaration was more plausible than he ever imagined, that the West ultimately faces two opposite but powerful worldviews: the divine and the diabolical.

The diabolical worldview is based on the rejection of the divine plan, and both are at war with each other. This ideological and cosmic war, which historically began at the foot of the cross, will continue until the end of history, and we just happened to be in middle of this war.

Moreover, the diabolical worldview has a long list of devoted disciples. As Churchill himself put it,

“From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxembourg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this world-wide conspiracy for the overthrow of civilisation and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing.

“It played, as a modern writer, Mrs. Webster, has so ably shown, a definitely recognisable part in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century; and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworld of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters of that enormous empire.”[48]

Churchill also said that

“Of all the tyrannies in history, the Bolshevist tyranny is the worst, the most destructive, and most degrading. Bolshevism is not a policy, it is a disease…

“Civilization is being completely extinguished over gigantic areas while Bolsheviks hop and caper like troops of ferocious baboons amid the ruins of cities and the corpses of their victims.”[49]

Katy Perry's Dark Horse

At the metaphysical and categorical level, it is either the implications of Logos or Talmudic/diabolic thought that will eventually dominate the West.

We are seeing this in pop music as well, where the principles that make up the Illuminati and Freemasonry have already been embraced by people like Jimmy Page, late Jim Morrison of the Doors, David Bowie, Sting, Daryl Hall, Marilyn Manson, Prince, late Michael Jackson, Jay Z, Kanye West, etc. New Masonic puppets like Beyonce, Katy Perry, and Rihanna are no exceptions.[50]

In the political realm, the subversion of the West has been going on in a subliminal way. For example, neo-Bolsheviks subvert America and in the process America, through Wall Street bankers and the CIA, began to subvert other countries and even America with drugs, torture, and other destructive means.

Countries such as Guatemala, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan were and perhaps still are, in the words of Peter Dale Scott of the University of California, “CIA clients.”[51]


Dieudonne

Talmudic/Zionist/neo-Bolshevik thought represents the end of the West and every reasonable person must stand in opposition to its political and historical ideology precisely because it leads to bondage, double standard, and, in one word: chaos.

This has created a stir in countries such as France and Jewish journalist Alissa J. Rubin of the New York Times has lamented that despite the fact that the Zionist establishment has isolated people like Dieudonne, the anti-Zionist movement is garnering millions of support across the globe.

Rubin, who struggled mightily to string two rational thoughts together in her article, accused Dieudonne of “inventing an inverted Nazi salute known as the quenelle to satirize the French elite,”[52] but Rubin cannot explain the fact that at this current moment, the Zionist establishment has allied with Fascists and neo-Nazis to destroy Russian forces in Ukraine.[53]

Once again the current situation in Ukraine is a classic example of how Jewish revolutionary movements seek to subvert the West. Journalist Patrick L. Smith rightly declared that

“You need a machete these days to whack through the thicket of misinformation, disinformation, spin, propaganda and straight-out lying that daily envelopes the Ukraine crisis like kudzu on an Alabama telephone pole. But an outline of an outcome is now faintly discernible.”

It should not be a surprise that “A new poll suggests Americans have very little appetite for any real involvement in the crisis in Ukraine.”[54]

Charles Krauthammer

But, according to a new order from Washington entitled “Blocking Property of Certain Persons Contributing to the Situation in Ukraine,” we learn that the government can seize the assets of “any United States citizen, permanent resident alien, entity organized under the laws of the United States or any jurisdiction within the United States (including foreign branches), or any person in the United States” if he/she dares to criticize our government’s involvement in Ukraine.

How could that happen in America? Well, the neo-Bolsheviks such as Max Boot and Michael Austin have wasted no time in screaming their lungs out for more conflict with Russia.[55] Tom Rogan, a neocon mush-head, has declared without any serious thought that

“We have to do what we should have done at first: Provide troops to guarantee Ukraine’s sovereignty.”[56]

For neo-Bolshevik Charles Krauthammer, the United States ought to stop Russia in the following ways (and don’t forget, the American taxpayers will provide the funds):

  1. Send the chairman of the Joint Chiefs to the Baltics to arrange joint maneuvers.
  2. Same for the four NATO countries bordering Ukraine — Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania.
  3. Urgently revive the original missile-defense agreements concluded with Poland and the Czech Republic before Obama canceled them unilaterally to appease Russia.
  4. Extend the Black Sea maneuvers in which the USS Truxtun is currently engaged with Romania and Bulgaria. These were previously scheduled. Order immediate — and continual — follow-ons.
  5. Declare that any further Russian military incursion beyond Crimea will lead to a rapid and favorable response from NATO to any request from Kiev for weapons. These would be accompanied by significant numbers of NATO trainers and advisers.[57]

It looks like Washington was paying attention to Krauthammer, as they are beginning to wage a frontal attack against Russia. Did you know that a cyber weapon has already infected computer networks in Ukraine?

Did you know that the Financial Times itself compared the act with Stuxnet, the malware that was developed by the Zionists in Israel and America which eventually bugged Iran’s computers?[58] This program

stuxtnet<img class=”alignright size-medium wp-image-292884″ alt=”stuxtnet” src=”http://www.veteranstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/stuxtnet1-320×198.jpg” width=”320″ height=”198″ />“could shut off civilian power or water supplies, cripple banks or even blow up industrial sites that depend on computer-controlled safety programmes. The malware has infected networks run by the Kiev government and systemically important organisations. Lithuanian systems have also been disproportionately hit by it.

“Ouroboros has been in development for nearly a decade and is too sophisticated to have been programmed by an individual or a non-state organisation, according to the applied intelligence unit at BAE Systems, which was the first to identify and analyse the malware.”[59]

We know for certain that Stuxnet was created by the U.S. and Israeli governments, and it took millions of dollars to get it going.[60] Moreover, we know that Russia or Iran did not attack Ukraine using malwares. So who is the culprit? You be the judge.

Did you know that U.S. assistant secretary of state for European and Asian Affairs was handing out pastries to anti-government protesters in Kiev?[61]

Did you know that Israel has also been involved in the situation in Ukraine?[62] Did you know that hundreds of American soldiers have already been patrolling Kiev? Did you know that the U.S. sent its warship Destroyer to the Black Sea? Yet, as Israel Shamir points out, it is Russia that is the invader, not the U.S.!

How would you feel if a representative of North Korea or China or Russia or Iran or Japan starts passing out pastries to anti-government protesters in Washington? Would not the government go up in flame and perhaps declare war against that country?


Sarah Harrison

Churchill again noted in 1920 that “the most passions of revenge have been excited in the breasts of the Russian people” by the Bolsheviks. We are currently repeating history.

The people who wanted to overthrow the political order in Russia in 1917 have been dead for a long time, but their ideological grandchildren want to finish the job they had started.

Twentieth-century neoconservatism is in many ways a series of unfortunate events which inexorably lead to the ideological foundation of the French Revolution and then Bolshevism: blood, torture and murder (including sexual murder and sodomy) in the metaphysical and practical sense.

Because of the neoconservative ideology, at least 360,000 U.S. veterans probably have brain injuries.[63] All of those horrors have happened in the name of “democracy.”

But if anyone challenges that form of “democracy,” he or she is to be labeled a threat and sometimes even a terrorist. Sarah Harrison of the Guardian for example cannot even return to England (the land of her birth) because she used to work with Edward Snowden and Julian Assange.[64]

In that sense, neoconservatism and the Masonic ideology of the French revolution converge in a subtle way, since both worldviews end up producing the same fruit and since both worldviews were being manipulated by people of identical ideologies.

Bolshevism was just an updated version of the subversive ideology which Jewish revolutionaries were spreading across the Soviet Union. And neoconservatism is another “clean” version of Bolshevism. The grandchildren of the Bolshevik revolution have been proposing the most passions of revenge in the belly of the Russian people at this present time.

Those grandchildren can deliver their neo-Bolshevik message through the entire media outlets (most specifically in the Washington Post, the New York Times, TV chat shows, etc) almost simultaneously. Paul Wolfowitz for example used the Washington Post to say that the U.S. should arm the Syrian rebels/jihadists.

Jewish-Zionist Neocons Behind Iraq PlightMany of the grandchildren of the Bolshevik Revolution now work at think tanks such as National endowment for Democracy (NED), the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), the Council on Foreign Relations, the Brookings Institution, etc. As journalist Robert Parry points out,

“Neocons played key behind-the-scenes roles in instigating the Feb. 22 coup that overthrew a democratically elected president with the help of neo-Nazi militias; the neocons have since whipped Official Washington into a frenzy of bipartisan support for the coup regime; and they are pushing for a new Cold War if the people of Crimea vote to leave Ukraine and join Russia.

“A few weeks ago, most Americans probably had never heard of Ukraine and had no idea that Crimea was part of it. But, all of a sudden, the deficit-obsessed U.S. Congress is rushing to send billions of dollars to the coup regime in Kiev, as if the future of Ukraine were the most important issue facing the American people.”

As a matter of fact, snipers who killed both civilians and police officers in Ukraine were actually paid by the U.S. The CIA also has a hand in which the situation in Ukraine is loused up.

Moreover, “Russia has received numerous requests from Ukrainian civilians to protect them from radicals, including those from the Right Sector group, and has promised consider them, a Russian Foreign Ministry statement says.”

This has sent shockwaves across the Western world precisely because it is the most blatant double standard ever concocted. Paul Craig Roberts has called it “the stench of American hypocrisy.”[65] For example, when John Kerry and others denounced Russia for meddling in Ukraine, Seumas Milne of the Guardian powerfully pointed out,

“That the states which launched the greatest act of unprovoked aggression in modern history on a trumped-up pretext – against Iraq, in an illegal war now estimated to have killed 500,000, along with the invasion of Afghanistan, bloody regime change in Libya, and the killing of thousands in drone attacks on Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, all without UN authorisation – should make such claims is beyond absurdity.

bolshevik-revolution-1917“It’s not just that western aggression and lawless killing is on another scale entirely from anything Russia appears to have contemplated, let alone carried out – removing any credible basis for the US and its allies to rail against Russian transgressions. But the western powers have also played a central role in creating the Ukraine crisis in the first place.

“The US and European powers openly sponsored the protests to oust the corrupt but elected Viktor Yanukovych government, which were triggered by controversy over an all-or-nothing EU agreement which would have excluded economic association with Russia.

“In her notorious ‘fuck the EU’ phone call leaked last month, the US official Victoria Nuland can be heard laying down the shape of a post-Yanukovych government – much of which was then turned into reality when he was overthrown after the escalation of violence a couple of weeks later….

Fascist gangs now patrol the streets…. Neo-Nazis in office is a first in post-war Europe. But this is the unelected government now backed by the US and EU. And in a contemptuous rebuff to the ordinary Ukrainians who protested against corruption and hoped for real change, the new administration has appointed two billionaire oligarchs – one who runs his business from Switzerland – to be the new governors of the eastern cities of Donetsk and Dnepropetrovsk.

“Meanwhile, the IMF is preparing an eye-watering austerity plan for the tanking Ukrainian economy which can only swell poverty and unemployment.”[66]

Yet in a subtle attempt to box people to say that Putin’s actions are quite similar to those of Hitler, here is what a Poll does:

“Do you think Vladimir Putin’s actions in Crimea today are similar to what Hitler did in Austria and Czechoslovakia in 1938? Would you consider it ‘appeasement’ for the U.S. and other western democracies not to take strong action to defend Ukraine?”[67]

These are some of the loaded questions which actually give the respondent no chance to think outside the neo-Bolshevik/Zionist matrix. It’s like asking a person, “Have you stopped beating your wife yet?”

obama_putin<img class=”alignright size-medium wp-image-292892″ alt=”obama_putin” src=”http://www.veteranstoday.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/obama_putin-320×212.jpg” width=”320″ height=”212″ />The Jewish Telegraphic Agency declares that Putin has been extremely friendly to Jewish groups and organizations in Russia,[68] but that does not stop the neo-Bolsheviks to call him every name of the book.

They don’t like Putin probably because he made the historical point last year that 80-85 percent of the first Soviet government was Jewish.[69]

Since then, Zionist rabble rousers have tried very hard to oust. But again there is more to the conflict than meets the eye and ear. As Conn halliman points out,

“WikiLeaks has revealed a secret cable describing a meeting between French and American diplomats that suggests that [a plan to blackmail Russia]has been in the works since at least 2009.

“Titled ‘A/S Gordon’s meeting with policy makers in Paris,’ the cable summarizes a Sept. 16, 2009 get-together between Philip Gordon, then assistant U.S. Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, and French diplomats Jean-David Levitte, Damien Loras, and Francois Richier. Gordon is currently a special assistant to President Obama on the Middle East.

“While the bulk of the cable covers an exchange of views concerning Iran, the second to last item is entitled ‘NATO’s enlargement and strategic concept.’ At this point Levitte, former French ambassador to the US from 2002 to 2007, interjects that

Propaganda in the media

“‘[French] President [Nicholas] Sarkozy was ‘convinced’ that Ukraine would one day be a member of NATO, but that there was no point in rushing the process and antagonizing Russia, particularly if the Ukrainian public was largely against membership.’”

“Gordon goes on to paraphrase Levitte’s opinion that, ‘the Bucharest summit declaration was very clear that NATO had an open door and Ukraine and Georgia have a vocation in NATO.

“Levitte is currently a fellow at the conservative Brookings Institute.”

Keep in mind that the Brookings Institute is a neoconservative think tank funded by the Israeli mogul Haim Saban, who declared that “I’m a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel.”[70] Saban, who has a “remarkable ability to cultivate, charm, and manipulate people,” had closed ties with Israeli officials such as Shimon Peres.

“At a conference last fall in Israel, Saban described his formula. His ‘three ways to be influential in American politics,’ he said, were: make donations to political parties, establish think tanks, and control media outlets.

“In 2002, he contributed seven million dollars toward the cost of a new building for the Democratic National Committee—one of the largest known donations ever made to an American political party. That year, he also founded the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution, in Washington, D.C.

“He considered buying The New Republic, but decided it wasn’t for him. He also tried to buy Time and Newsweek, but neither was available. He and his private-equity partners acquired Univision in 2007, and he has made repeated bids for the Los Angeles Times.

“By far his most important relationship is with Bill and Hillary Clinton. In 2002, Saban donated five million dollars to Bill Clinton’s Presidential library, and he has given more than five million dollars to the Clinton Foundation.

“In February, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton delivered a major policy address at the U.S.-Islamic World Forum in Doha, co-sponsored by the Saban Center.”[71]


Sarah Palin

Somehow the neo-Bolshevik world expects Russia to stay silent on this Ukraine crisis. As researcher Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich points out, Russia and China seem to pose a threat to global domination, and the shadowy figures have to curb both countries in order to propound world domination.

And you may want to hold your breath: Sarah Palin thinks that the United States should nuke Russia!

“The only thing that stops a bad guy with a nuke is a good guy with a nuke,” said Palin. She continued to propound the dumb idea that the U.S. can no longer play the nice guy with Russia because it allowed some “very, very bad dudes [to] gain ground.”

For Dick Cheney, the U.S. should start training the Ukrainians militarily! Max Boot of Commentary added that “We need to make clear that Russia will pay a price for transgressing the most basic norms of international conduct.”[72] Similarly, Condoleezza Rice, who should know better by now, recently wrote in the Washington Post,

“We should reach out to Russian youth, especially students and young professionals, many of whom are studying in U.S. universities and working in Western firms. Democratic forces in Russia need to hear American support for their ambitions. They, not Putin, are Russia’s future.”[73]

In order to propound the same old ridiculous idea, Rice, who has monkeyed with the lives of precious people in the Middle East and decent Americans in the past, continues to argue that if Iraq and Syria have been flooded by “extremists,” it is because the United States has failed to deal rigorously with “dictators like Bashar al-Assad,” along with his allies such as Iran and Russia.[74]

Rice has probably learned this lie from the Jewish neoconservatives, who are “tightly allied with Israel” and who actually sent a letter to Obama saying that Washington ought to overthrow Assad and substitute a Zionist puppet in his stead.[75]

Here are some of the names of the Jewish and other neoconservatives who sent the letter to the president: Max Boot, Paul Bremer, Elizabeth Cheney, Eric Edelman, Jamie Fly, John Hannah, William Inboden, William Kristol, Michael Ledeen, Clifford May, Robert McFarlane, Martin Peretz, Danielle Pletka, John Podhoretz, Stephen Rademaker, Karl Rove, Randy Scheunemann, Dan Senor, James Woolsey, Dov Zakheim, and Radwan Ziadeh.

Rice’s oxymoronic behavior and sycophantic babbling have never ceased to amaze me. Many decent people in Iraq cannot even perform a decent wedding ceremony without being blasted by car bombers.[76] I guess she would call that “democracy.”

Recently, the Syrian rebels/jihadists have captured nearly one hundred civilians, including women and children. Last month, 12 Syrian nuns were abducted in a town where the rebels were working. But according to Rice’s logic, Assad has to be blamed for that, too.

As former CIA officer and scholar Paul R. Pillar has pointed out,

“Al-Qaeda in Iraq was born, nor reborn, as a direct consequence of the Bush administration’s war in Iraq. It didn’t exist there before, and since the U.S. invasion it never went away. Now, in the form of the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Shams (ISIS), it has become as well the most extreme participant in the violence in Syria.”[77]

Has the intellectual caliber of the so-called Republican Party sunk that low? If the U.S. economy is really “screwed up,” to use Paul Craig Roberts’ words, if the “middle class is dying,” as economist Samuel Rines put it, how is it that these people still want perpetual wars when the debt exceeds $ 100 trillion?

Michelle Bachmann recently declares in her speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that “our movement at its core is an intellectual movement. We are based on the greatest ideas ever conceived in the mind of man.”

Palin, Bachmann, and Rice cannot have a rational and coherent thought on their heads because they have been paid big bucks to say dumb things. Aren’t they all New York Times bestsellers—selling lies at the expense of the American people?

Moreover, do these people understand that “ethnic Russians account for about 20 percent of Ukraine’s population and nearly 60 percent of the population in Crimea”?[78]

In other words, if Ukraine goes down the tube, Russia will soon be next. Therefore Putin would be a complete idiot if he stays silent on the situation. The United States had already imposed an embargo on Russian officials who got involved in the confrontation.[79]

To sum up, the Masonic ideology which operated behind the scene in the French Revolution has taken a new garb in the twenty-first century, but the end result is always blood and sexual ideology under the name of “democracy” and “freedom.” Perhaps St. Peter was right when he stated thousands of years ago:

“While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage” (2 Peter 2:19).

Belgium: Doctor Kills Depressed Woman in Euthanasia W/O Any Mental Health Treatment

$

by Alex Schadenberg | Brussels, Belgium

5/1/14

Last week a 20 year-old Belgian woman submitted a formal complaint against Belgian euthanasia guru, Dr Wim Distelmans. The woman, known as Margot, has submitted a complaint stating that her depressed mother died by euthanasia without first receiving treatment for depression.

De Standard news reported Margot as stating:

godelieva“how could someone who has not even received treatment for depression, get euthanasia?”

Distelmans reponded:

“It’s very frustrating for me, but I can not respond to these kind of stories in the press.

I can not respond, because of privacy laws and it would violate my professional duties.”

The article reported that this euthanasia death was approved by the Belgium Euthanasia Control and Evaluation Commission. The article omitted that Distelmans chairs the Commission.

Margot’s complaint follows a complaint last February by Professor Tom Mortier concerning the euthanasia death of his mother, Godelieva De Troyer. In his complaint Mortier stated:

Distelmans did not have the expertise to evaluate whether Godelieva De Troyer, was ready for euthanasia. Distelmans is an oncologist, not a psychiatrist and was not even De Troyer’s doctor beforehand. She was physically healthy and not suffering from physical pain, and she had spoken with psychiatrists who thought that her emotional distress was treatable. In fact, she was taking medication at the time, which can cause suicidal ideation – so clearly a treatment plan was in place and it may have been causing serious side-effects. Distelmans, it seems, did not take that into account.

Similar to Belgium, the Netherlands is also incrementally extending euthanasia to more conditions.

Recently in the Netherlands Gaby Olthuis Nootdorp who was a physically healthy 47-year-old, died by euthanasia because she had been living with Tinnitus for 13 years.

In Belgium and the Netherlands doctors have the legal right to lethally inject people based on physical or psychological suffering. The term physical suffering has incrementally extended to many non-lethal conditions while the term psychological suffering cannot be defined.

The euthanasia bill that was being debated in Québec and the recent euthanasia bill that was introduced by MP Steven Fletcher in Canada’s parliament would also give Canadian doctors the right to lethally inject people for the reasons of physical or psychological suffering.

The rest of the world needs to learn about the Belgium and Netherlands euthanasia laws.

A just society cares for its citizens. A just society does not kill them.

And how is this different from Hitler’s “Culture of Death” program? It’s occurring the Fabian Socialist – sheep in wolf’s clothing way, in increments.

.

“The Fabians were working towards a new world by indoctrinating young scholars who would eventually rise to power in various policy-making positions throughout the world by infiltrating educational institutions, government agencies, and political parties. Their strategy was called the “doctrine of inevitability of gradualism,” which meant that their goals would be gradually achieved. So gradual, that nobody would notice, or “without breach of continuity or abrupt change of the entire social issue.” The secret was evolution, not revolution, or what Webb called “permeation.” Shaw (whose mistress, Florence Farr, was a witch in the Order of the Golden Dawn), revealed that their goal was to be achieved by “stealth, intrigue, subversion, and the deception of never calling Socialism by its right name.” In fact, that’s how they got their name. The name originated from the Roman Consul, General Quintus Fabius Maximus, the Cunctator (‘Delayer’), who through patient, cautious, delaying and elusive tactics during the early phases of the Second Punic War (218-2″01 BC) enabled the Roman army to regroup and defeat Hannibal’s stronger Carthaginian army.”

Muslim Brotherhood Dealing Drugs to Fund Terrorism

By on April 24, 2014

Coptic Solidarity

The Muslim Brotherhood and its jihadi supporters are the latest terrorists to grow and cultivate illegal drugs in the hills of Sinai, in order to sell them and fund their terrorism campaign with the proceeds—not unlike Afghanistan’s Taliban earlier.

A security source from Egypt’s Interior Ministry who chose to remain anonymous recently made these revelations to reporters.

Among other things, he said the numbers of such drug plantations in the Sinai had dramatically grown since the January 25 Revolution, which brought the Muslim Brotherhood to power.

Since the June 30 Revolution, however, which saw the ousting of the Brotherhood, the military has found and destroyed dozens of acres where poppy and cannabis were being cultivated, plants from which opium, heroin, and hashish are extracted.

Although such drugs are generally banned in Islam, the Brotherhood and its supporters, explained the security source, grow them under the Islamic maxim “Necessity makes the prohibited permissible”—that is, in order to fund the jihad to overthrow the “apostate” Egyptian state and reestablish Islamic rule (seen synonymous with Brotherhood rule), it is necessary to sell harmful drugs to fellow Muslims.

Thus the Brotherhood and its supporters find two complementary ways to destroy people, including fellow Muslims:

first with drugs, and

second with the money made from the drugs.

http://www.raymondibrahim.com/islam/muslim-brotherhood-dealing-drugs-to-fund-terrorism/

The Muslim Brotherhood is a political movement who uses the Muslim religion to obtain their goals. Their armed divison is al Qaeda.

The MB is part of the Global Mafia Cartel, of course, they sell drugs. In Afghanistan it’s their top trade. The International Bankers Cartel are certainly involved since it’s a multi-billion dollar business. Their old company – Royal East Indian Company  - expanded this lucritive trade in the 1800′s…drug running into China who had banned Opium.


Christophobia: Why Is The Media Silent About The Crucifixion Of Christians By Radical Jihadists?

Michael Snyder – May 2, 2014

Could you imagine the uproar in the mainstream media that we would see if a member of a politically favored class of people was crucified for who or what they are? There would be front page headlines for weeks.

Image: Crucifixion (YouTube).

But because members of a politically favored class (Muslims) are doing it to members of a non-politically favored class (Christians), it is not newsworthy at all according to the media. In many instances, Christians are being crucified by jihadists that are actually being assisted and funded by the governments of the United States and Saudi Arabia. Yes, our tax dollars are being used to help arm and supply radical jihadists that are beheading and crucifying Christians. And yet none of the big media organizations considers this to be news.

How sick and twisted do you have to be to crucify a little child for being a Christian? Of course you never heard about this from the mainstream media, but that is exactly what happened in Syria recently

Sister Raghida, former head of a Christian school in Damascus explained the horrific event. “Islam or death” was the choice given to many Christians in Syria on Tuesday during the height of the conflict in Syria. She said many Syrian Christians have been affected by the atrocities taking place in the Christian population of the Middle Eastern country, an area once known for the harmonious coexistence of Muslims and Christians.

According to Sister Raghida, the Muslims came to the two youths and said, “So you want to die as a teacher in whom you trust? Please choose: either to renounce (faith) or you will be crucified!”

The boys both refused to renounce faith in Jesus Christ and were martyred because of it. One of them was crucified in front of his father, who was then killed. The nun went on to tell the radio station that the Jihadists entered the city of Maaloula and started killing men, women, and children. According to her report, they killed and played football with the heads of those murdered. Sister Raghida also said the killers took pregnant women and pulled out the babies from their wombs and hung them from a tree by their umbilical cords.

This kind of brutality is absolutely unprecedented!

Who has ever heard of such a thing being done to pregnant women and children?

You would think that crimes of this magnitude would be front page news all over the globe.

But instead, there is mostly just silence.

About the only mainstream news outlet in the U.S. that will even touch this stuff is Fox News. And even they don’t give it front page treatment. Usually you have to really dig to find a brief story about the slaughter of Christians that we are seeing all over the planet.

The following is an excerpt from a Fox News story about another incident of crucifixion that just happened recently…

Al Qaeda-backed jihadists are hanging the bodies of executed enemies on crosses crucifixion-style in a town in Northern Syria, according to a Syrian opposition group.

The executions reportedly took place Tuesday in Raqqa, where the extremist group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, an Al Qaeda-linked network, has taken over the city, according to Abu Ibrahim Alrquaoui, who identifies himself as a founder of a group called Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently.

As I mentioned above, the jihadists that are doing this have the support of Saudi Arabia and the United States. The Obama administration and the Saudia are desperate to overthrow the Syrian government, and Obama seems to have no problem allying us with some of the most despicable jihadists on the entire planet in order to make that happen.

The brutality against Christians by U.S.-backed fighters has been going on for month after month with very little notice by the outside world. Just check out what has been going on in one little village in the middle of the war zone…

For a major part of the past year, it was occupied by Islamist Syrian rebels associated with al-Qaida who took advantage of its commanding position over Maaloula to help keep their grip on this Christian village. During the occupation of the village by the Saudi- and U.S.-supported rebels, strict Shariah law was enforced. Those Christians not able to flee were treated as slaves. Several Christian men were beheaded, and many of the women were forced into “temporary” marriages with multiple Islamic fighters.

And of course Syria is far from the only place where we see this kind of brutality on a consistent basis. For example, Christians are regularly slaughtered by radical jihadists in Nigeria. The following is just one recent example

While many of us were enjoying our Friday evenings, a massacre was taking place in Nigeria that left between 100 and 150 Christians dead and around 200 homes burned to the ground.

At around 10pm Nigeria time last night while villagers were asleep, more than 40 Fulani herdsmen attacked the Ungwan Gata, Me-Sankwai and Tekum villages in Manchok (Kaura Local Government), which is located in Southern Kaduna, Nigeria. Southern Kaduna is a predominantly Christian.

These jihadi attackers first set fire to homes and when the Christians attempted to escape their homes, they were shot dead or butchered with machetes. The ones who could not escape their homes burned to death.

No one attacked was spared, including women and children. A pastor, his wife, and their children, of one of the villages, were said to be among the butchered.

Have you heard about that incident before now?

Probably not.

You see, the truth is that the elite control the “matrix” known as the mainstream media, and they don’t consider such stories to be important.

You probably haven’t heard about the young Christian woman that was dragged out of her car and beaten to death by a Muslim mob in Egypt either. Fortunately, there are some non-mainstream outlets that are covering this

Eyewitnesses have given a harrowing account of the murder in Cairo of a young Coptic Christian woman, hauled out of her car and beaten and stabbed to death by a Muslim mob, apparently targeted because of a cross hanging from her rear-view mirror.

And to say that she was “beaten to death” doesn’t really capture the full horror of what happened to her…

Protestors climbed onto her car, collapsing the roof, then hauled her from the vehicle, beating and mauling her – to the extent, he said, that portions of her scalp were torn off. She was stabbed multiple times, her throat was slit and when she was dead, the mob torched her car.

This is evil to the highest degree.

But even in the midst of the slowest news year in ages, the mainstream media still won’t touch this stuff.

There is an extreme hesitance in the western world to report anything that will put Muslims in a bad light or put Christians in a good light.

Meanwhile, as Christians are being slaughtered by Muslims all over the globe, the western world is doing all that it can to shut down criticism of Islam.

For instance, the leader of a political party in the UK could be facing up to two years in prison for the “hate crime” of quoting Winston Churchill

Political party leader Paul Weston was arrested by police and faces up to two years in jail for criticizing the religion of Islam during a public speech in the United Kingdom.

Weston’s “racially aggravated” hate crime consisted of him quoting Winston Churchill.

Weston’s arrest reveals the chilling implementation of thought crime in Britain and how political correctness is being used as a weapon with which to destroy the edifice of freedom of speech across the western world.

The following is what appears to be the quote that got Weston in trouble

“The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities – but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.”

And in the U.S., great efforts are being made to make Muslims as comfortable as possible in our schools. Even as Christian prayers are being banned, entire prayer rooms are being set aside for Muslim students in schools all over the country. In addition, many school systems are now giving students days off during major Muslim holidays. In fact, this will soon be happening in New York City

New York City is moving to close school for two Muslim holidays and the Lunar New Year — but Mayor de Blasio isn’t so sure about the Hindu festival Diwali.

Appearing on WNYC’s “Brian Lehrer Show” on Monday, the mayor said he hadn’t taken a position on whether Diwali, the festival of lights celebrated in India and other South Asian countries, should be a day off from school.

But he said he’d move forward with closing schools for Lunar New Year and for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, Muslim holy days.

But that is nothing compared to what happened at one high school in Colorado. As students recited the Pledge of Allegiance, the words “under God” were replaced with “under Allah”

The principal at Rocky Mountain High School in Fort Collins, Colorado, is facing a hailstorm of criticism from some very angry parents and residents.

The school recites the Pledge of Allegiance weekly, on Mondays. Last Monday, a member of their “Cultural Arms Club” led the student body in an Arabic version of the pledge, replacing the words “under God” with “under Allah.”

Principal Tom Lopez denies any attempt to push an Islamic agenda, saying, “These students love this country. They were not being un-American in trying to do this. They believed they were accentuating the meaning of the words as spoken regularly in English.”

In the U.S., people are bending over backwards to make the Muslim minority feel more comfortable.

But in Muslim countries, Christians are being beaten to death, beheaded and crucified and very few people in the western world even want to talk about it.

Has our society become so “politically correct” that we cannot even denounce great evil when it is happening right in front of our eyes? American Dream

Seymour M. Hersh on Obama, Erdoğan and the Syrian rebels

In 2011 Barack Obama led an allied military intervention in Libya without consulting the US Congress…

…For months there had been acute concern among senior military leaders and the intelligence community about the role in the war of Syria’s neighbours, especially Turkey. Prime Minister Recep Erdoğan was known to be supporting the al-Nusra Front, a jihadist faction among the rebel opposition, as well as other Islamist rebel groups. ‘We knew there were some in the Turkish government,’ a former senior US intelligence official, who has access to current intelligence, told me, ‘who believed they could get Assad’s nuts in a vice by dabbling with a sarin attack inside Syria – and forcing Obama to make good on his red line threat.’

The joint chiefs also knew that the Obama administration’s public claims that only the Syrian army had access to sarin were wrong.

Turkey’s Christians under Siege – Christophobia

Four academics of Turkish background have highlighted this Islamo-Turkish supremacism in a 2008 EU-commissioned report. They argued:

Despite laicism, the Turkish state has not been able to overcome the segregation of non-Muslim minorities and to integrate them into the nation as citizens with equal rights. While the Muslim Turks have been the “we,” the non-Muslim minorities have been categorized as “the other”… they have been rather perceived as “domestic foreigners.”

The authors make further observations about the prevailing concept of nationality in the context of the need for the state to end religious-based discrimination:

Notwithstanding the spirit of the founding text of the republic, the notion of Turkish citizenship was shaped according to the legal context that prevailed before the Tanzimat reforms of 1839. Although the new republic defined itself as a secular state, Sunni Islam has been functional in the nation-building process as a uniting, common cultural factor of the majority of Turkey’s inhabitants. A person who is not a Muslim is usually referred to as a minority person or a Turkish citizen, but not a Turk. Turk designates an ethno-religious characteristic of a political community.[69]

The extent to which this cultural phenomenon still influences Turkish society at the grassroots level is evident from the findings of an EU-financed public opinion survey conducted in 2008 by two Turkish scholars as a part of the International Social Survey Program.

It discovered that -

  • One third of Turkish Muslims would object to having a Christian as a neighbor.
  • More than half believe that Christians should not be allowed to openly express their religious views in printed publication or in public meetings.
  • More than half are opposed to Christians serving in the army, security services, police force, and political parties.
  • Just under half believe Christians should not be active in the provision of health services.[70]

 If Western diplomats spoke at all about the bishop’s murder, it was in the same hushed tones that are used when referring to Turkey’s Armenian genocide of World War I, its subsequent use of terror against remnant Christian communities and Kurdish villages, its 1974 invasion of Cyprus and subsequent ethnic cleansing of the occupied Christian population, and its blockade of neighboring Armenia.”

The real truth is likely that Turkey actually represents Turkey, Sauds, and Qatar who were all influential in Obama’s Arab Spring “Revolutions” which has led to countless deaths of all ethnicities. Turkey, the Muslim Brotherhood, and their mercenary jihad wings specifically targets Christians. Why? Perhaps because they’re living on very rich land resources. PM Gladstone described the Turks “Tailless Devils”. A fair description. Over 100 years on and still applicable.

How can this be possible?

Bond yields are at record lows and stock prices near record highs across Europe and even the ever-increasing debt-to-GDP characteristics of the perennially weak periphery are able to issue bonds willy-nilly as if nothing had ever happened.

So how come 18.9 million people across Europe were unemployed in the euro area in March?

Spain – actually trading at its cheapest cost of funding of all time (below 3%) – accounts for 6 million of those. As Bloomberg’s Niraj Shah notes, Greece and Spain have the highest jobless rates in Europe at 26.7% and 25.3%, respectively. That contrasts with 4.9% in Austria. The overall unemployment rate was unchanged at 11.8% in March from February after the previous month’s read as youth unemployment continues to rise.

Welcome to the totally manipulated “markets” where indicators have no signal quality anymore except to perpetuate an entirely false hope that the status quo is attainable once again and sustainable going forward.

For a brief month or two, Spain’s unemployment data fell – rekindling belief in the miracle (thanks to participation rate shenanigans) but now as yields push below 3% for the first time, it is re-accelerating….

Zero Hedge

The European Commission has warned that eurozone countries are drifting apart: An ever-declining south is facing a relatively stable north. Governments are unable to protect household incomes.

Austria and Spain – worlds apart

To simply discuss European averages, does not get to the root of the problem – perhaps most disturbing is how the EU, and especially the eurozone, is splitting into a relatively stable north and an ever-declining south.

Take unemployment, for example. According to current figures from the European statistical authority Eurostat, Austria is experiencing unemployment at a rate of about 4.5 percent – compared to 26.6 percent in Spain, Europe’s jobless frontrunner.

The situation looks even bleaker for youth in Spain and Greece, where more than every one in two lacks work – illustrating the gulf between individual nations.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa is issuing a subpoena for Secretary of State John Kerry to testify before the committee May 21 about Benghazi, Issa announced Friday.

The move comes in the wake of new, “smoking gun” emails that show top White House officials working to craft a narrative that the attack was the result of a YouTube video and “not a broader failure of policy.”

Republicans have expressed outrage that the documents were not provided earlier under subpoenas for them, but instead came out via a Freedom Of Information Request lawsuit by the conservative non-profit group Judicial Watch.

On Thursday, House Speaker John Boehner called on Kerry to testify before the House to explain why the documents weren’t provided earlier. Breitbart

Cover-up is about shielding details of arms smuggling to terrorists in Syria

Paul Joseph Watson
May 2, 2014

Amidst new revelations concerning emails that show the Obama administration conspired to create a phony narrative around the Benghazi attacks, the true purpose behind the cover-up is being obfuscated – the fact that an annex near the U.S. embassy was being used by the CIA to transfer surface to air missiles to terrorists in Syria.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa today issued a subpoena for Secretary of State John Kerry to testify before the committee on May 21 about Benghazi following the release of emails by Judicial Watch which show that the White House crafted a deceptive policy to falsely frame the attack as a spontaneous protest sparked by a YouTube video in order to protect Barack Obama’s image.

Lost in the haze of claims and counter claims is the real reason why the White House is desperate to prevent the attack from coming under any further scrutiny – because it would likely reveal an arms smuggling scandal that could rival Iran-Contra.

In May last year, Senator Rand Paul was one of the first to speculate that the truth behind Benghazi was linked to an illicit arms smuggling program that saw weapons being trafficked to terrorists in Syria as part of the United States’ proxy war against the Assad regime.

“I’ve actually always suspected that, although I have no evidence, that maybe we were facilitating arms leaving Libya going through Turkey into Syria,” Paul told CNN, adding that he “never….quite understood the cover-up — if it was intentional or incompetence”.

At the same time it emerged that the U.S. State Department had hired an Al-Qaeda offshoot organization, the February 17th Martyrs Brigade, to “defend” the Benghazi Mission months before the attack.

Senator Paul was vindicated less than three months later when it emerged that the CIA had been subjecting its operatives to monthly polygraph tests in an effort to keep a lid on details of the arms smuggling operation being leaked.

On August 1, CNN reported that dozens of CIA agents were on the ground in Benghazi during the attack and that the polygraph tests were mandated in order to prevent operatives from talking to Congress or the media about a program that revolved around “secretly helping to move surface-to-air missiles out of Libya, through Turkey, and into the hands of Syrian rebels.”

Although the Obama administration is now openly arming the Syrian rebels, it has been keen to stress that such weaponry has been restricted to so-called “moderate” fighters, despite the fact that it is now widely acknowledged that Al-Qaeda is by far the most potent fighting force in Syria and indeed commands all the other militant groups.

The real truth behind Benghazi is likely to reveal that the Obama administration knowingly and deliberately provided surface to air missiles and other weapons to the most bloodthirsty Al-Qaeda jihadists in Syria who are now busy crucifying Christians while promising to bring their reign of terror to the west.

If a proper investigation into the Benghazi attacks uncovered concrete evidence of this arms smuggling scandal, Obama would face impeachment and many members of his administration would be facing long stretches in prison.

That’s the real reason why the White House is desperate to bury Benghazi.

A Turkish Minister left the Benghazi compound just prior to the attacks. What was Amb. Stevens doing in Benghazi? They were gun running with al Qaeda in order to destabilize Syria. These terrorists are a military wing of the MB – they’re paid mercenaries. Then there’s the poorer uneducated element under control of the Imams available 24/7 to have a member kill themselves for Allah. They do nothing without direction from their leaders.

Obama Calls Coup Government in Kiev “Duly Elected”

Not a single member of the press challenges blatant deception

Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
May 2, 2014

President Barack Obama made an embarrassing blunder earlier today during his press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel when he described the post-coup government of Kiev as “duly elected”.

Obama Calls Coup Government in Kiev “Duly Elected” 

While Obama himself along with other members of the administration have repeatedly complained about pro-Russian “propaganda” clouding the Ukraine crisis, the President’s characterization of a government that came to power as a direct result of a violent overthrow of the democratically elected Yanukovich administration as “duly elected,” when no democratic vote of any kind took place, is either a huge gaffe or a flagrant act of deception.

Here’s the full quote in context from the transcript (emphasis mine);

“What they cannot accept, understandably, is the notion that they are simply an appendage, an extension of Russia, and that the Kremlin has veto power over decisions made by a duly elected government in Kiev.”

Of course, the government in Kiev is anything but duly elected since it was installed with the aid of the United States itself after a violent uprising that unseated the previous government which actually was duly elected.

The stage was set for the Ukraine revolt to become violent in December when US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe Victoria Nuland announced that the U.S. would invest $5 billion in order to help Ukrainians achieve “a good form of government.”

The true nature of that government was subsequently revealed when leaked phone conversations emerged of Nuland conspiring with US ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt to pick Ukraine’s future puppet leaders, personally recommending Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who soon became interim Prime Minister for the post-coup regime.

Documents also emerged confirming that the Euromaidan uprising was largely financed by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) in concert with numerous American NGOs.

To describe the Kiev government as “duly elected” is almost as silly as saying that North Korea’s Kim Jong-un was voted into office, but not a single member of the press who was at the event picked Obama up on this huge faux pas.

Fukushima owner boasts $4.3 billion profit from rate hikes, government bailouts

May 04, 2014 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer

(NaturalNews) The company that owns and is responsible for cleanup efforts at the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power facility in Japan is reportedly raking in at least $4.3 billion in net profits annually, according to The Economic Times. Thanks to steady rate hikes and a large government bailout following the disaster, the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) has done quite well for itself in recent years, despite continued blunders involving radiation cleanup and containment measures at the plant.

Following the 2011 disaster, TEPCO was having a difficult time staying afloat. This prompted the Japanese government to throw 1.8 trillion yen, the equivalent of about $17.6 billion, at the company to compensate for its unprecedented losses, not to mention to cover the costs associated with ensuring that Fukushima radiation did not spoil the whole planet. TEPCO also raised electricity rates throughout Japan to gather more cash.

While radiation spews, TEPCO takes in record profits

TEPCO got its money, of course, posting profits that topped 438 billion yen during the most recent fiscal year — this is in stark contrast to the monumental 685.3 billion yen loss the company incurred just one year prior. And yet, despite this enormous surge in cash flow, the situation at Fukushima is still dire, with new reports suggesting that a proposed “ice wall” will do little or nothing to protect groundwater and oceans from ongoing contamination.

“Shouldn’t they be paying back the government loans and what about compensation to those affected?” commented one person over at Japan Today about TEPCO’s insane profits. “There should be no net profit, only pay back.”

The profits are particularly stinging when considering the fact that TEPCO had previously ordered injured workers and their family members to give back renumeration payments, all the while failing time and time again to protect groundwater and the Pacific Ocean from radiation poisoning. The entire Fukushima cleanup effort has been one big debacle, to put it plainly, and the company responsible for this mess is reaping benefits from it.

“This is an absolute disgrace in my eyes as they have continually proven [their] reluctance to improve, refusal to provide renumeration for the refugees, and their continued amateur approach of handling the Fukushima Daiichi plant and surrounding area,” wrote another commenter in a public forum about TEPCO’s profits.

“Yet they get a seemingly free pass from one of the largest government infusions of money to a private corporation, now mostly owned by the [government], and on top of that they’re allowed to fleece their customers with 8 to 10% higher rates since 2012 when they were already proven to be overcharging for decades.”

Global threat from Fukushima still very real

Meanwhile, reports continue to surface about radioactive fish being caught off the U.S. West Coast, for instance, and other similar contamination events that are still occurring more than three years after the initial disaster. Many of the remediation efforts taking place at the facility simply aren’t working, which some say is an indicator that an international approach to cleanup is essential.

“It’s embarrassing to admit, but there are certain parts of the site where we don’t have full control,” stated Akira Ono, the current manager of the Fukushima plant, during a recent interview. “It may sound odd, but this is the bill we have to pay for what we have done in the past three years. … [W]e were pressed to build [containment] tanks in a rush and may have not paid enough attention to quality.”

This is disgusting!!! The health of the entire Japanese population has been put at risk (plus nations around the world) and TEPCO isn’t to be made accountable but gain from their massive failure! The financial cost of a meltdown is, of course, being borne by the public tax-payers, what’s new. And not by the companies that created and operated the plants are making big money. Are the 160,000 people who had to flee their homes and continue to live in inhumane conditions being compensated? No!   Governments around the world are working with the International Bankster-Gangster Cartel using our hard-earned tax-money to finance these billionaire’ investors successes and failures. This has been going on globally for centuries – time to put an end to it!!!
