The UN says tens of thousands of people have died after what is said to be East Africa's worst drought for 60 years.<br />
<br />
Bay becomes the sixth area to be officially declared a famine zone - mostly in parts of southern Somalia controlled by the Islamist al-Shabab.<br />
<br />
Some 12 million people across the region need food aid, the UN says.<br />
<br />
The situation in the Bay region was worse than anything previously recorded, said senior UN's technical adviser Grainne Moloney.<br />
<br />
"The rate of malnutrition [among children] in Bay region is 58%. This is a record rate of acute malnutrition," she told journalists in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.<br />
<br />
This is almost double the rate at which a famine is declared.<br />

Half of those who have already died are children, it says.<br />

The UN-backed authority controls the capital, Mogadishu but few other areas.<br />
<br />
Unni Karunakara, head of medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), says al-Shabab's restrictions on aid workers mean many people in Somalia cannot be helped - and says aid agencies should be more open about this when appealing for more money.<br />
<br />
"The grim reality of Somalia today is we are not able to get to south and central Somalia, which we consider to be the epicentre of the crisis," he told the BBC World Service.<br />
<br />
"What is needed is a better representation of the challenges that aid agencies, including MSF, face in delivering assistance in Somalia today.<br />

"Even if we are able to get food and supplies to the main ports of Somalia, I think there is a real challenge in being able to deliver that assistance - what I call the 'last-mile' problem.<br />

Food aid is reaching Kenya's Wajir district but not enough of it. The demand is overwhelming and so the religious leaders have to pick out the most vulnerable - only they are given the sought-after parcels of rice, sugar, beans, flour and oil.<br />
Schools are supposed to be reopening this week but there will be many empty benches as some children are too weak to make the long walk to school. <br />
"The children are demoralised and many will not go. Also the UN has reduced the school feeding programme and the children can't learn without food," said father of five Mohammed Abdulahi. <br />
In Griftu hospital a mother lay beside her terribly malnourished four-year-old daughter. Listless and stick-thin Ahado was being fed through a tube. The nurses are hopeful that within a month she will be out of danger. <br />
"On the ward we now have an average of six to 10 severely malnourished children each week. The numbers have gone up. The drought is still getting worse," said Doctor Kosmos Ngis. <br />

<div id="story_continues_3">Some officials from al-Shabab, which has links to al-Qaeda, have accused Western aid groups of exaggerating the scale of the crisis for political reasons.</div><br />
Tens of thousands of Somalis have fled their country to seek help.<br />
<br />
BBC East Africa correspondent Will Ross says that even if there is rainfall in October or November, people will need food aid for several more months until the crops have grown. <br />
<br />
"This isn't a short-term crisis," said UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Somalia Mark Bowden.<br />
<br />
In Kenya's Wajir district, just across the border from Somalia, health workers are reporting an increase in the number of malnourished children. <br />
<br />
Weakened by the lack of food they are more susceptible to disease. <br />
<br />
The drought is still taking its toll on the livestock, says our correspondent, and people living in the arid areas of Kenya depend on their animals for their livelihood. <br />
<br />
With no rain expected for several weeks the crisis is still deepening despite the presence of aid agencies. <br />

And it’s nothing like what CNN is broadcasting… Pay attention to live reports from Zawia.<br />
First, today the power went out in all of Tripoli today. As a gift to the Muslim community for their 17th day of Ramadan, NATO bombed a power plant and six high voltage sub stations. Apparently they believed the Libyans would have no ability to repair this, and so, in their “humanitarian effort to protect civilians,” they tried to cut power to 2 million innocent people during the holy month of Ramadan and the hottest month of the year in this desert country. Well, NATO sorely underestimated these resilient people. They had the power back in 6 hours! You know, there is NO fighting in Tripoli, never has been, no fighting on the outskirts never has been. So, NATO has been continually bombing a peaceful city, destroying the infrastructure, killing and constantly terrorizing civilians.<br />
Second, the media outside is trying to win this war by completely flipping the truth upside down. Ghadafi is stronger than ever. Today, people gathered in two areas of Tripoli where people said NATO was planning on bombing. Hundreds of thousands of people waving green flags, chanted (Allah, Muammar, Libya, Wah bes) (God and Muammar makes Libya complete). Dancing and daring NATO to come and hit them.<br />
These people are so pissed at NATO that they would all lay down their lives before they let “The NATO” win as they say. A young woman from the Foreign Minister’s office named Sana spoke with us tonight. She said the people are so used to NATO now that they are beginning to name their worthless pets after NATO.<br />
Sana said that the Western news media is showing old pictures of Zawia in an attempt to show bunches of rebels there. So a few people went and waved a green flag at the over pass that the media was showing on the news. And guess what? The group was never on camera, because it was not a live shot.<br />
She also told us that the Libyans are now in complete solidarity behind the legitimate government and Ghadafi. She said all the Libyan people have offered to have Ghadafi come and sleep at their homes, he should switch homes every night, all Libyans are prepared to die for Ghadafi. She said, Ghadafi should run for president in the US, because the US is so divided and people are so disgusted with their government there. The unity of Libya behind Ghadafi is unmatched for any leader world wide, she thinks the American people need someone to unite them, not to divide them.<br />
Spoke with the Electronic army, they say there are small pockets of rebels they liken to gangs in Misurata and the Libyan army is the middle of the city cleaning them out. Most of them are running away.<br />
Dr Moussa Ibrahim stated yesterday that Oil Companies of the aggressor nations are trying frantically to open avenues of communication with any and every minister trying to garner favor and regain their once lucrative contracts. You won’t see that in the Western news, even though this release was given to all the journalists here in Tripoli.<br />
That is all for now.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605057989490284368.post-38483401400975363972011-08-18T01:19:00.000-07:002011-08-18T01:19:20.947-07:00Gaddafi: Africa’s biggest Blessing and the West’s biggest Threat – explained by Minister Farrakhan<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><em>Interview with the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan by radio host Gary Byrd of WLIB 1190AM in New York on July 31, 2011</em><br />
<a href="http://eccleza.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/130811g.jpg"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-459" height="196" src="http://eccleza.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/130811g.jpg?w=257&h=196" title="130811g" width="257" /></a>“I don’t know if our listening audience is aware that the United Nations in March of this year was going to present Muammar Gadhafi with the United Nations Humanitarian Award for the great work that he and those with him were doing not only for the Libyan people, but for the African continent as well. Muammar Gadhafi, whether we like him or not, when you understand what this Brother has done not only for Libya, but also using petrodollars to help Africa – this man put into a bank billions of dollars to help Africa get their own satellite so we don’t have to call through Europe to get to Africa. Now we can call directly to Africa, which caused Europe to lose over $500 million last year.<br />
Gadhafi put millions of dollars into an account to set up an African Development Bank. Gadhafi used money-oil revenue that he gets from Libya – to finance business projects throughout Africa to make Africa more independent. Instead of raw materials coming up out of the land in Africa being sent to Europe to be fashioned into goods that are sent back to Africa at a higher price, this was going to stop. Africa would take her own resources, make products and put her own products on the market.<br />
He used billions of dollars to connect states in Africa. This man has something to make Western powers, who have grown strong sucking the blood of Africa, fearing that if Africa became independent and used the tremendous resources that Africa has, and that the Western world needs, in order to become powerful and stay powerful in the 21st century.<br />
So he became a threat. In order to vamp on him and destroy him and destroy what he was doing with Africa and for Africa, they manufactured this false play that he was killing his own people in order to put him out of power, assassinate him, destroy the good that this man has done and put a puppet regime in power so that they would no longer have to contend with the idea of the United States of Africa, which the African Union was moving towards under Brother Gadhafi’s guidance, help and monetary assistance.<br />
What was also leading to this humanitarian award to Gadhafi and the Libyan Jamahirya was the UN report that was issued around January 2011, a multi-country report that seemed to give Libya, and subsequently Gadhafi’s government, rather high marks and praise as early as January 2011 around a whole range of issues.<br />
What Brother Gadhafi did coming to power in a bloodless coup is, he nationalized the oil, he removed Britain and America from their bases in Libya and he used Libyan oil to finance revolutionary movements against puppet regimes in Africa and other parts of the world. This made him persona non grata in the West, and it also set him up as an enemy of those who have traditionally misused Africa and poisoned African leadership.<br />
When I say poison, I don’t mean with physical poison, but African leaders who wanted more for themselves than they wanted for the liberation of our people – these are the types of leaders that America supported. They did not support Osageyfo Kwame Nkrumah, Sekou Ture and many of those revolutionaries and many of those revolutionary thinking Black leaders, Patrice Lumumba and others. These are the Black Leaders who were murdered or abandoned or who were set up to destroy their power, because they were the leaders who understood a United Africa. Not all of these separate states.<br />
Kwame Nkrumah, Gamal Adel Nasser, they wanted to lift up the idea of the Honorable Marcus Garvey-that there should be one Africa. That is what Nasser wanted, that is what Nkrumah wanted, that is what Muammar Gadhafi spent billions of dollars trying to promote: an African Union on the way to a United States of Africa. This is what made him such a threat to the West, and unfortunately for them, he’s still there, he’s still alive. They will ultimately have to deal with that man.<br />
If I can make a point with this. He raised the standard of living with the Libyan people to the highest on the African continent and even the highest in the Middle East. He freed women who were Muslims to be a part of government, to be a part of a society where they don’t sit back and allow men to do everything.<br />
The women are partners with the men in Libya. He was a socialist in orientation in the early days, but as he became involved deeper and deeper with the Quran, he saw himself as a reformer of Islam, and he was in the process of reforming Islam in his country and influencing the development in others.<br />
I was there with him, my dear brother, when he spent $33 billion to create a marvel in the 20th century where they discovered water under the desert. And he invested $33 billion to bring that water up out of the desert, and I was with him on the day that we pushed a certain button and the water began from near Benghazi into Tripoli, almost to the Tunisian boarder.<br />
He made agriculture an absolute must for Libya, that they would produce their own food. He made it possible for the Libyans to get land and equipment to farm the land so that Libya would never have to depend on others for the basic necessities of food. This is what this man was doing, not only for Libya, but he was doing it for Africa as well. He became a thorn in the side of Europe, so now they want regime change.<br />
The man was not in any office of power, he’s the revolutionary leader. We call him Brother Leader Muammar Gadhafi. He set up a participatory democracy where the people make the decisions for the future, and he guides the revolution.<br />
I was with him, dear brother, when African presidents would come in, and he encouraged them and said, “Look, we are revolutionaries and you cannot have a revolution and every four years or eight years you bring somebody else in who may or may not continue the trend that you have started.” So when people say he has been in power too long, it takes a long time to bring a mind out of a colonial and slave mentality. He is not interested in power in that sense for himself, but he wants to empower the people.<br />
And lastly, brother, he shared oil revenue with all the citizens of Libya. No Libyan has to pay for health care, education or for living in a house or an apartment.<br />
Everybody there has a place to live. And he has sent hundreds of thousands of Libyans all over the world to study and the Libyan government pays for their education. If there is an operation that a Libyan needs and they have to go to Europe or America for that operation, the Libyan government pays for it. There is no government on the earth that does that for their people to the degree that this man has done.<br />
That kind of leader with that kind of work for his people is an enemy to those who want to live off the sweat, blood and labor of the poor, but not give the poor anything in return. This is why some say that if this man came to America with what he has done for Libya and was trying to do for Africa, maybe they would renounce the 22nd Amendment and change it and make Gadhafi president in America for life.<br />
You know, Gadhafi got into trouble with many Arabs in his own country because he said that Libya really belonged to the Blacks, and that the future of the world would be with Black people. He invited many Black people throughout the world to come to Libya. He gave them work and they became Libyan citizens. Now, when Arabs saw that-some of whom are absolutely racist – they felt he was doing too much for Africans and for Africa.<br />
They rebelled against him for that. So when this group rose in Benghazi, the hatred for Black Africa and for Blacks came out of them and they’re slaughtering African Libyans, Black Libyans and calling them mercenaries when, if fact, they belong to Libya. Yes, this has gone on and it is going on, and with the help of Allah, we hope that all of this will stop, and that if the NATO bombing stops, then maybe the Libyan forces can liberate Benghazi and stop the slaughter of African people by Arabs who hate Black people.”<br />

<br />
Citing spies operating among Gaddafi's ranks, Mohammed Zawawi, a spokesman for revolutionary militia groups, told AFP that Khamis was confirmed to be among the dead.<br />
<br />
"Overnight there was a aircraft attack by NATO on the Gaddafi operations room in Zliten and there are around 32 Gaddafi troops killed. One of them is Khamis," said Zawawi, a spokesman for the United Revolutionary Forces.<br />
<br />
Khamis, who has long led pro-government militia fighters, was said to be commanding the battle for Zliten -- a Gaddafi bastion that has halted the rebel advance on Tripoli.<br />
<br />
The strike appears to have come just hours after Tripoli took journalists on an escorted tour of the centre of Zliten, an effort to rubbish rebel claims the town was under attack.<br />
<br />
Fighters from the rebel enclave of Misrata, 60 kilometres (37 miles) to the east, announced this week they had made progress in Zliten, a strategic coastal town on the road to Tripoli.<br />
<br />
But authorities in Tripoli quickly denied that claim, saying they controlled the entire town.<br />
<br />
On Thursday an AFP journalist saw the town centre was in the hands of regime forces, although intensive artillery fire was heard in the distance.<br />
<br />
Residents said the frontline is located at a distance of 10 to 15 kilometres (six to nine miles) east of the city centre while rebel official said they control three neighbourhoods in the town's east.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;">Second, from the Deputy Foreign Minister, Dr. Khaled Kaim to me on the phone 5 minutes ago. </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;">The Warfalla tribe, the largest tribe in Libya, (Sheikh Ali is the head of this Tribe and all Libyan Tribes) is lit up! They are pissed, the killing of Abdel Fateh Younes has caused a huge rift in the so called rebels and they are now actively fighting against al Qaeda in Benghazi. Last night 4 or 5 al Qaeda elements were killed. The Warfalla tribes are not armed with any sophisticated arms and some of the Libyan soldiers that were fighting for the rebels have returned to fight against the al Qaeda elements with the tribes. Also, some factions of Warfalla members in the East that had not spoken up before are now speaking and fighting, ALL OF THEM ARE PRO GHADAFI. </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;">The atrocities that are occurring now are startling. Qatar troops, tanks and helicopters are openly killing these unarmed tribal members. They have their (Qatar) tanks in the streets of Benghazi. They are speaking on loud speakers telling the people to leave and go home. They are actively shooting on unarmed civilians. NOW, tonight, Dr. Khaled stated that there are more tribes wanting to join in with the Warfalla tribe and they are making their way to Benghazi as we speak. He stated that now Libya is very worried about what NATO will do, he said "they have made a commitment, they cannot abandon them now, can they"? So, killing innocent unarmed or armed with knives and rocks civilians is what NATO and Qatar are openly engaging in. </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;">Just 10 minutes ago we had a visit from a Warfalla tribal member, he had 2 cousins killed today by Qatar and they were NOT armed. One of them was carrying a green flag and the other one had a broom stick. He stated that there has been a blood bath by Qatar and more than 120 innocent civilians have been killed and the number is raising. Ismil stated that not just Qatar is there killing innocent civilians but also US, British and French special forces are seen in the streets with Qatar, killing the innocent tribal members. </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;">Answer me this: Who the hell is Qatar, the US, UK or France to say who will rule, live or die in Libya? What the hell is wrong with them? </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;">Wasn't this war started over some LIE that Ghadafi was killing innocent civilians?? </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;">One of the problems is no money for the people in Benghazi and the East of Libya. Ramadan begins tomorrow and the custom is to fast then feast every day for the (approx) 30 days. Muslim families all over the world fill their larders in preparation for this religious period. The East of Libya cannot buy daily needs much less any feast. The pro-Ghadafi people live in fear of execution. The pro rebels suffer from lack of all goods and services. Now the Ramadan season has further demonstrated their terrible state. </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;">For months the rebels and TNC have promised money for the people. Where has all the money gone? It simply never happened. Any money that came in went into the pockets of the leaders and the paid rebel mercenaries, but none to the innocent people. The promise of FINALLY $500 yesterday became only $100. This is not enough to buy even one lamb per family for their celebrations. </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div></dt>
<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><dt><div style="text-align: justify;">NATO is truly a terrorists group funded and supported by our government. NATO is actively bombing peaceful cities, openly supporting the illegal takeover of a sovereign nation. How do they get away with this? </div></dt>

No more predatory western loans used to cripple African economies; instead, a $42 billion dollar African <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4">Investment Bank</span> would be supplying major loans at little or even zero <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">interest rates</span>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Libya has funded major infrastructure projects across Africa that have begun to link up African economies and break the perpetual dependency on the western countries for imports. Here in Eritrea, the new road connecting Eritrea and Sudan is just one small example.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">What seems to have finally tipped the balance in favor of direct western military intervention was the reported demand by Gadaffi that the USA oil companies who have long been major players in the Libyan petroleum industry were going to have to compensate Libya to the tune of tens of billions of dollars for the damage done to the Libyan economy by the USA instigated “Lockerbie Bombing” sanctions imposed by the UN inSecurity Council throughout the 1990’s into early 2000’s. This is based on the unearthing of evidence that the <span style="color: red;">CIA paid millions of dollars to witnesses in the Lockerbie Bombing trial to change their stories to implicate Libya,</span> which was used as the basis for the very damaging UN sanctions against Libya. The government of the USA lied and damaged Libya so the USA oil companies were going to have to pay up to cover the cost of their government’s actions. Not hard to see why Gadaffi had to go, is it?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Add the fact that Gadaffi had signaled clearly that he saw both Libya’s and Africa’s future economic development linked more to China and Russia, rather than the west, and it was just a matter of time before the CIA’s contingency plan to overthrow the Libyan government was put on the front burner.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">NATO’s war against Libya has much more in common with NATO’s Kosovo war against Serbia. But one still cannot compare Gadaffi to Saddam or even the much smaller-time criminals in the Serbian leadership. The Libyan War lies are worse than Iraq.</div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605057989490284368.post-10745062377320645172011-08-01T06:22:00.000-07:002011-08-01T06:32:07.768-07:00Horrors Of US-NATO Butchery Of Libya Revealed<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">7-30-11<br />

<tr><><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div></><td valign="top" width="100%"><div style="text-align: justify;"> Note - The following email was received by a colleague of Susan Lindauer This document is extremely important to read as it shows the hideous barbarity of the so-called 'civilized' Zionist-controlled United States and its City of London EU Western gangster allies. The bombing of the Libyan water project (the 'Great Manmade River'), the bombing of schools, hospitals and population centers, the blockading of the port at Tripoli to cut off all food and medical supplies, are all designed to starve and kill masses of humanity. </div><dl><dt><div style="text-align: justify;">The people of Libya are incredibly intelligent and strong and are committed to withstanding this effort to steal their nation from them. We wish them all possible success. If Libya is allowed to be slaughtered and reduced to Third World rubble like the Zionist-owned United States did to the nations of Iraq and Afghanistan, the Western world - and 'civilization' as we knew it - are essentially gone. Remember Dresden... - ed </div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;"></div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;">Susan: Also enclosed below is a press release on today's bombing by NATO </div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;"></div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally back on the internet, not at our hotel, had to travel to get on. Thursday and Friday no gasoline thanks to the piracy of NATO. </div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;"></div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;">What they gave me for Jeff Rense is a web link, they say it has photos and a video of what he needs. It is http://libya-sons.tv/video/ (Ed note - This page is now 404, apparently as a result the outrageous NATO bombing of the Libyan Broadcasting Authority and the murder of three journalist colleagues there.) </div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;"></div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;">These people are now excited hiring some of the biggest lawyers in the world to file (lawsuits) against NATO. The war crimes here are unforgivable. </div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;"></div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;">Last night, NATO bombed the Libyan Broadcasting company killing 3 civilians and injuring 15 others. They don't like any TV here except NATO propaganda. I am attaching 2 more leaflets, NATO dropped these last week. In what alternate Universe does NATO think these people will take any advice from them? </div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;"></div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;">We were at a rally on Thursday where probably 400,000 to 500,000 people rallied behind their country and the Leader of their revolution. </div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;"></div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;">These were some of the poorest people in Tripoli, yet they came with signs and their children dressed in green. They had written on their hands and bodies, we will give our soul for M. Ghadafi, we will all die before we let NATO and the great Colonial crusaders kill our beloved leader. NATO has stepped into a huge pile of shit and I hope that they end up with it all over their face. Ghadafi spoke at this rally over the phone, he said to NATO, "you must negotiate with the people of Libya" NOT ME, it is the people who decide their government and their leader. </div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;"></div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;">I suppose you know about the infighting amongst the rebels? Now they have killed one of their big generals and this has instigated hate amongst them, this is due to the tribal loyalties. They have actually been fighting amongst each other for weeks, the kill each other periodically as they are all thugs. </div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;"></div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;">In England, the British tried to give the Libyan embassy to the rebels! Like England says who owns the Libyan embassyand then the next day the rebels are killing each other. What a joke. The legitimate government of Libyan has now sealed that embassy. The UK can KISS any business here in Libya off they are finished as are the FRENCH who periodically by orders of Sarkozy, shut the border between Tunisia and Libya to stop food and medicine and gasoline from coming in. NATO has blocked all the ships from coming into Tripoli so they want to starve these people out. Libya must pay big bribes to get the border open every time. </div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;"></div></dt>
<dt><div style="text-align: justify;">They are losing and they don't like it, they had better wake up, the US taxpayer will not fund this huge atrocity against humanity. The truth is coming out. </div></dt>

<br />
This is not a conspiracy theory, nor a piece of fiction. It is now an openly-admitted fact that this was pulled off by the BATFE (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, more commonly called "ATF") under orders from <span style="color: blue;">Washington</span>. The program was called "Fast and Furious."<br />
<br />
Even Reuters is now covering the news and reporting how members of Congress are outraged to learn that this happened (<a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/06/15/us-usa-mexico-guns-idUSTRE75E49N20110615" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.reuters.com/article/2011...</span></a>).<br />
<br />
Details are also starting to leak about the cover-up inside ATF, which was led by the U.S. Attorney in <span style="color: blue;">Arizona</span>, Dennis Burke, an <span style="color: blue;">Obama</span> appointee (<a href="http://dailycaller.com/2011/07/06/issa-grassley-blast-holder-in-letter-after-secret-meeting-with-atfs-ken-melson/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://dailycaller.com/2011/07/06/i...</span></a>). The engineering of the illegal gun <span style="color: blue;">running</span> went right up the chain of command to the director of the ATF, Kenneth Melson, who is now expected to resign. The real planning of this <span style="color: blue;">event</span> went even higher up the chain of command in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Washington</st1:place></st1:state>, possibly all the way to Attorney General Eric Holder (<a href="http://dailycaller.com/2011/06/21/issa-staffer-gunrunner-investigation-points-much-higher-than-atf-director/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://dailycaller.com/2011/06/21/i...</span></a>). <br />
<br />
Among the firearms sold to the Mexican <span style="color: blue;">drug</span> gangs were <b>AK-47s</b>, thousands of pistols and, remarkably, <b>.50-caliber rifles</b> which are typically used to disable vehicles or carry out sniper-based assassinations at extremely long ranges (up to two miles). The mainstream media is now reporting that these <span style="color: blue;">weapons</span> are turning up in violent crimes being committed in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:city>, <st1:state w:st="on">Arizona</st1:state></st1:place>. As an ABC news affiliate reports:<br />
<br />
<i>"According to the testimony of three Phoenix ATF agents, including Dodson, hundreds of weapons are now on the streets in the <span style="color: blue;">United States</span> and Mexico, possibly in the hands of <span style="color: blue;">criminals</span>. Dodson estimated the number could be as many as 1,800 weapons. He estimated agents in the <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:place></st1:city> field division facilitated the sale of approximately 2,500 weapons to straw purchasers. A few hundred have been recovered."</i> (<a href="http://www.abc15.com/dpp/news/local_news/investigations/weapons-linked-to-controversial-atf-strategy-found-in-valley-crimes" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.abc15.com/dpp/news/local...</span></a>)<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><h1 style="margin: 0.67em 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">How the "Fast and Furious" program put thousands of weapons directly into the hands of Mexican drug gangs<o:p></o:p></span></h1><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">Here's how "Fast and Furious" worked: Under orders from Washington, ATF agents were specifically told to acquire these weapons using "straw" buyers in the <span style="color: blue;">USA</span>, find new buyers in Mexican drug gangs, then sell the weapons and "lose track" of them. Although some agents raised concerns about the insanity, they were overruled by the higher-ups in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Washington</st1:place></st1:state> who wanted to pursue this policy for their own <span style="color: blue;">reasons</span>. "It made no sense to us either, it was just what we were ordered to do, and every time we questioned that order there was punitive action," said Phoenix Special Agent John Dodson.<br />
<br />
But what could be the reasons for <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Washington</st1:place></st1:state> initiating such a program in the first place? Why would the Obama administration actively send <b>30,000 sniper rifles, assault weapons and firearms</b> into <span style="color: blue;">Mexico</span> even while claiming to follow an anti-gun stance back in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">USA</st1:place></st1:country-region>?<br />
<br />
To answer that question, you need to understand <b>P.R.S</b> -- Problem, Reaction, Solution. It is the "playbook" that governments use to get what they want, which usually involves: 1) Disarming their populations, 2) Taking away all their rights and <span style="color: blue;">freedoms</span>, and then 3) Ruling over their <span style="color: blue;">people</span> as tyrants with complete <span style="color: blue;">power</span>.<br />
<br />
Precisely such an effort is now underway in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>, led by the Obama administration which has repeatedly demonstrated itself to be an enemy of the U.S. Constitution and its <span style="color: blue;">Bill of Rights</span>.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><h1 style="margin: 0.67em 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">How Problem, Reaction, Solution really works<o:p></o:p></span></h1><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">If you're the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> <span style="color: blue;">government</span>, you can't just announce a new program to disarm the country, end the Bill of Rights and install yourself as the <span style="color: blue;">King</span>. People won't go for it if you try to sell it that way. Instead, you need to find a way to <b>get people to BEG you</b> to do all that.<br />
<br />
So you need a way to put people in a state of mind where they are terrified of <span style="color: blue;">drugs</span>, terrified of guns and terrified of the border <span style="color: blue;">violence</span> -- to the point where they insist that somebody in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Washington</st1:place></st1:state> do something about it.<br />
<br />
Therefore, you first need a way to <i>cause the problem</i> that results in all the violence that people react to. You effectively need to <b>create violence</b> and then wait for people to beg you to stop it.<br />
<br />
This is where the Obama administration's program to send 30,000 firearms into <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mexico</st1:place></st1:country-region> comes into play. If you want to cause gun violence and drug war violence, what better way to accomplish it than to just <b>arm all the bad guys?</b><br />
<br />
Think about it: 30,000 weapons in the hands of drug criminals! Then all you have to do is sit back and wait for all the violence to kick in. And it has kicked in -- in huge numbers. Shootings on the border, kidnappings, armed conflict across the border with <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> border agents, and so on. Violent crimes in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Arizona</st1:place></st1:state> are now being committed with these very same weapons the ATF trafficked into the hands of Mexican drug gangs.<br />
<br />
As Judicial Watch president Tim Fitton explains, his belief is that Operation Fast and Furious was purely an anti-gun political ploy from the Obama administration, designed to put more guns into the hands of criminals as a justification for confiscating guns from all citizens. He adds, "I think another major part of this story is that the narrative of the Obama administration and the ATF is that, 'wouldn't it be great if we could tie guns, as part of our anti-gun agenda, to the Mexican civil war, as opposed to, you know, our lack of enforcement of the drug <span style="color: blue;">laws</span> or failure to protect the borders.'" (<a href="http://dailycaller.com/2011/06/21/issa-staffer-gunrunner-investigation-points-much-higher-than-atf-director/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://dailycaller.com/2011/06/21/i...</span></a>)<br />
<br />
And here's the real kicker: Of all the weapons now being confiscated by <span style="color: blue;">police</span> in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Mexico</st1:country-region>, an astonishing <b>70 percent came from the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region></b>. So now you have a situation where the <st1:country-region w:st="on">USA</st1:country-region> is actually arming the criminals in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Mexico</st1:place></st1:country-region> and destabilizing that country's entire system of law and order. The drug gangs are at war with the police there, and thanks to thinks like U.S.-supplies AK-47s and .50-caliber sniper rifles, <i>the drug gangs are winning!</i><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><h1 style="margin: 0.67em 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">ATF can now demand more power and bigger budgets<o:p></o:p></span></h1><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">Getting back to the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> issue, if you're the <span style="color: blue;">DEA</span> or the ATF, you now have 30,000 more reasons to have your own budgets increased. There's a wave of violence coming across the border! The drug gangs are out of control! They're <span style="color: blue;">shooting</span> back!<br />
<br />
Well gee, I wonder why? It's because the ATF actually sold them these 30,000 rifles <b>under orders from <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Washington</st1:place></st1:state></b>.<br />
<br />
And now the Obama administration is, predictably, saying there's so much "gun violence" in the <st1:place w:st="on">Southern USA</st1:place> that new laws are needed to curb gun sales there.<br />
<br />
Seriously? New laws? What about the 30,000 guns the ATF openly and admittedly sold to the Mexican drug gangs? Wasn't that already a violation of law?<br />
<br />
It all comes back to Problem, Reaction, Solution, you see. Want to keep the useless War on Drugs going a little longer? Just dump a few thousand pounds of <span style="color: blue;">cocaine</span> into the hands of criminals and let 'em run loose with it. Want to beef up the budgets of the ATF? Just distribute 30,000 illegal weapons into the hands of drug gangs and then sit back and wait for people to beg for your help. Want to justify a war on "terror" in the <st1:place w:st="on">Middle East</st1:place>? Dream up some stupid story about Weapons of Mass Destruction and then launch a war.<br />
<br />
For every power-hungry tyrannical agenda in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Washington</st1:place></st1:state>, there's a false flag operation that will make it come true.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><h1 style="margin: 0.67em 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">If the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> government would actively arm drug gangs, in what other ways might it betray the <span style="color: blue;">American people</span>?<o:p></o:p></span></h1><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">Now that you know the truth about how <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Washington</st1:place></st1:state> put 30,000 guns into the hands of Mexican drug gangs, it naturally makes you start to wonder about the government's involvement with things like <b><span style="color: blue;">vaccines</span></b>.<br />
<br />
Want to make people so afraid of <span style="color: blue;">infectious disease</span> that they beg for vaccines? Just <b>release an infectious disease</b> into the <span style="color: blue;">population</span> yourself! It's a simple matter, really.<br />
<br />
Want to get the public to beg for new <span style="color: blue;">food safety</span> regulations? Just <b>release e.coli into the <span style="color: blue;">food</span> supply</b> and then wait for the deaths to be reported in the news. All of a sudden people are <i>demanding</i> more food <span style="color: blue;">safety</span> regulations.<br />
<br />
Want to justify military imperialism and expansion? Just stage your own terrorist attack against your own country! Then magically find the passports of some <span style="color: blue;">terrorists</span> at the scene of the <span style="color: blue;">crime</span> and blame the whole thing on them.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><h1 style="margin: 0.67em 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">When theory becomes fact<o:p></o:p></span></h1><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">You see, all this used to exist solely in the realm of <span style="color: blue;">conspiracy theory</span>. A few years ago, if you even suggested this kind of thing was going on, you were called a kook. But now it's an established fact being reported by Reuters, Washington Post and other major news outlets. Now the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> government has been forced to <i>admit</i> that yes, it actively delivered 30,000 firearms into the hands of Mexican drug gangs and then intentionally stopped tracking where they went.<br />
<br />
This is no longer <span style="color: blue;">conspiracy</span> theory. It's conspiracy FACT. And similar types of operations are being planned right now for other agendas the government has in mind: Taking away your Fourth Amendment rights, for example. How do you accomplish that? Just stage an airport <span style="color: blue;">terrorism</span> attack, just like the one the <span style="color: blue;">TSA</span> was caught rehearsing in <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Minnesota</st1:place></st1:state> (<a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/032458_TSA_bomb_drill.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.naturalnews.com/032458_T...</span></a>).<br />
<br />
Want to take away peoples' Second Amendment rights? Just brainwash some low-IQ psychopath to walk into a shopping mall and start blazing away with fully automatic weapons that were provided to him by the ATF!<br />
<br />
It's simple, you see. Pick a topic, choose an agenda, then <i>cause the problem</i> yourself. Then sit back and wait for the reaction. Works every time.<br />
<br />
The CDC pulled the same stunt back in the 1980's with <span style="color: blue;">AIDS</span>. At a time when the CDC was facing severe <span style="color: blue;">budget</span> cuts, it actually hyped up the whole AIDS epidemic and started releasing complete scientific fictions as if they were fact. The <span style="color: blue;">disease</span> mongering by the CDC caused widespread fear and panic across the country, earning it huge budget increases from the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">U.S.</st1:place></st1:country-region> government.<br />
<br />
This is all fully documented in the movie <i>House of Numbers</i>, by the way, using recorded <span style="color: blue;">video</span> interviews from many of the key scientists involved in the whole fiasco who finally went on record to tell the truth. Almost everything you've been fed about AIDS is a fabrication or a distortion of the scientific truth. Watch these astonishing videos to see for yourself:<br />

<br />
Suckers and sheeple always believe the mainstream news at face value. They believe we're under attack from terrorists who bring down tall buildings, or we're being assaulted by Mexican drug gangs on the border, or we're threatened by the Swine Flu. That's what suckers are supposed to believe, you see: That your government is never working <i>against</i> you... it's always working FOR you, right?<br />
<br />
But intelligent people know the opposite is true: Your government is usually <b>plotting against you</b> and trying to figure out how to expand its power, expand its reach, reduce your freedoms and control your life. This is accomplished by <b>unleashing the very problems</b> that the government <span style="color: blue;">claims</span> to be fighting to prevent.<br />
<br />
The government, for example, says it's trying to <b>solve our nation's economic problems.</b> And how does it accomplish that? By generating <i>trillions of dollars</i> in new fiat currency and handing it over to the criminals running Wall Street. This has the net effect of <i><span style="color: blue;">stealing</span></i> money from everybody else through dollar devaluation.<br />
<br />
How does the government solve our national <b>health care crisis?</b> By enacting Obamacare, which mandates that more people buy into a system that has utterly failed to serve the health interests of the American people in the first place!<br />
<br />
So at the very same time the government says it's working to improve the economy, it's actually stealing from you behind your back. At the very same time the government says it's trying to stop <span style="color: blue;">cancer</span>, its own health-related agencies (National Cancer Institute, for example) are openly engaged in massive disinformation campaigns that spread false <span style="color: blue;">information</span> about sunlight being "dangerous" to your health (while conveniently ignoring the truth about vitamin D and its cancer preventive properties).<br />
<br />
The government says it wants to make your food <i>safer</i>, and yet the USDA keeps approving genetically modified foods that are essentially massive <b>biological experiments</b> that cause widespread infertility and disease.<br />
<br />
The same story goes on and on... with fluoride in the water, mercury in dental fillings, aspartame in diet sodas, pesticide use in agriculture and so on. At nearly every turn, the government itself is <b>actively plotting against the People</b> to keep them financially enslaved, biologically diseased and mentally ignorant.<br />
<br />
Shipping guns into <st1:country-region w:st="on">Mexico</st1:country-region>, you see, is just a tiny part of the big picture that's going on today in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">USA</st1:place></st1:country-region>. The same process -- Problem, Reaction, Solution -- is in use almost everywhere in government at both the state and federal level.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><h1 style="margin: 0.67em 0cm; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;">Big Government is the enemy of peace and freedom<o:p></o:p></span></h1><div style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Bureaucrats hate to lose their jobs</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">, and if there's a way to stage something that makes them suddenly look more important, they won't hesitate to roll it out.

If you or I did what our own government does every single day, we'd be arrested as felony criminals.

<br />
Amazing how our own government has now turned into the very criminals that it claims to be protecting us against, isn't it? <b>Who are the real terrorists in <span style="color: blue;">America</span>?</b> The ATF agents running guns into the hands of Mexican drug gangs, of course.

The SPLA becomes a national army Saturday, when the south breaks away and becomes the world's newest country.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The United States is investing tens of millions of dollars into this fledgling military, one that is massing troops on the north-south border as tensions — and violence — with the north rise. SPLA troops are battling rebel militias in hot spots across the south, and fears of renewed war with the north are high.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But international rights groups say those soldiers have been responsible for human-rights abuses, including killings.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who sponsored a law that prohibits U.S. aid to foreign military units that violate human rights, says he is concerned about those reports.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Former Secretary of State Colin Powell and Susan Rice, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, will head a U.S. delegation that will attend ceremonies marking the nation's independence. Powell was instrumental in brokering the 2005 peace accord between the north and south.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The United States backed the south's push for independence, and the Obama administration long had said it would formally recognize Southern Sudan.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The State Department is giving nearly $100 million in yearly assistance to train and support the SPLA and says the behavior of the former guerrilla fighters is being monitored. Yet, watching the 140,000-plus-member army of a developing nation the size of Texas is a nearly impossible task.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In April, a 700-member battalion of SPLA commandos — the most highly trained of the army's fighters — fired indiscriminately on unarmed men, women and children of a rival ethnic group at a remote Nile River village in Jonglei state, killing or wounding hundreds, according to witness accounts in a confidential U.N. report.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The State Department, after a congressional inquiry, investigated and found no U.S. aid was being given to the two commanders named in the report or to the unit as a whole.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Since Sudan's decades-long civil war ended — some 2 million people were killed — the U.S. government has given more money than any other to programs aimed at professionalizing the SPLA.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Despite all hues and cries by the US officials and media as well as those of the west that the Al-Qaeda and its leader Osama Bin Laden are the most wanted people for their direct role in September 11th terrorist attacks, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) says that it has no evidence in this regard, raising more suspicion over all the speculations the US tried to forge in the world public opinion.</strong><o:p></o:p></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT2EZT0l5BSDAGOtmvpO9nz5-eEKYqlLDQI-TO2QUjY_00K-X1XP2F19HBwvhVK3xOkH13Ar4HxQrkAK02NyiVPZSpswsIBcOWuHd9WXSk8O99lJuapWBrtv1tVw1J7XuQG4cFFfKNmQI/s1600/911.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT2EZT0l5BSDAGOtmvpO9nz5-eEKYqlLDQI-TO2QUjY_00K-X1XP2F19HBwvhVK3xOkH13Ar4HxQrkAK02NyiVPZSpswsIBcOWuHd9WXSk8O99lJuapWBrtv1tVw1J7XuQG4cFFfKNmQI/s320/911.gif" width="280" /></a>What follows is an article by American researcher and citizen Ed Haas, proving that the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">US</st1:country-region></st1:place> has sought to misuse the occasion for indicting the world of Islam for belligerency and hostile attitudes based on no substantiating evidence. <o:p></o:p></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">This past weekend, a thought provoking e-mail circulated through Internet news groups, and was sent to the Muckraker Report by Mr. Paul V. Sheridan (Winner of the 2005 Civil Justice Foundation Award), bringing attention to the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorist web page for Osama Bin Laden. In the e-mail, the question is asked, "Why doesn't Osama Bin Laden's Most Wanted poster make any direct connection with the events of September 11, 2001?" The FBI says on its Bin Laden web page that Osama Bin Laden is wanted in connection with the August 7, 1998 bombings of the United States Embassies in <st1:city w:st="on">Dar es Salaam</st1:city>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Tanzania</st1:country-region>, and <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Nairobi</st1:city>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Kenya</st1:country-region></st1:place>. According to the FBI, these attacks killed over 200 people. The FBI concludes its reason for "wanting" Bin Laden by saying, "In addition, Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorists attacks throughout the world." <o:p></o:p></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">On June 5, 2006, the Muckraker Report contacted the FBI Headquarters, (202) 324-3000, to learn why Bin Laden's Most Wanted poster did not indicate that Osama was also wanted in connection with 9/11. The Muckraker Report spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden's Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, "The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Osama Bin Laden's Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11." <o:p></o:p></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Surprised by the ease in which this FBI spokesman made such an astonishing statement, I asked, "How this was possible?" Tomb continued, "Bin Laden has not been formally charged in connection to 9/11." I asked, "How does that work?" Tomb continued, "The FBI gathers evidence. Once evidence is gathered, it is turned over to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice then decides whether it has enough evidence to present to a federal grand jury. In the case of the 1998 United States Embassies being bombed, Bin Laden has been formally indicted and charged by a grand jury. He has not been formally indicted and charged in connection with 9/11 because the FBI has no hard evidence connected Bin Laden to 9/11." <o:p></o:p></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">It shouldn't take long before the full meaning of these FBI statements start to prick your brain and raise your blood pressure. If you think the way I think, in quick order you will be wrestling with a barrage of very powerful questions that must be answered. First and foremost, if the <st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region> government does not have enough hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11, how is it possible that it had enough evidence to invade <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Afghanistan</st1:country-region></st1:place> to "smoke him out of his cave?" The federal government claims to have invaded <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Afghanistan</st1:country-region></st1:place> to "root out" Bin Laden and the Taliban. Through the talking heads in the mainstream media, the Bush Administration told the American people that Osama Bin Laden was Public Enemy Number One and responsible for the deaths of nearly 3000 people on September 11, 2001. Yet nearly five years later, the FBI says that it has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11. <o:p></o:p></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Next is the Bin Laden "confession" video that was released by the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region></st1:place> government on December 13, 2001. Most Americans remember this video. It was the video showing Bin Laden with a few of his comrades recounting with delight the September 11 terrorist attacks against the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">United States</st1:country-region></st1:place>. The Department of Defense issued a press release to accompany this video in which Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld said, "There was no doubt of bin Laden's responsibility for the September 11 attacks before the tape was discovered." What Rumsfeld implied by his statement was that Bin Laden was the known mastermind behind 9/11 even before the "confession video" and that the video simply served to confirm what the U.S. government already knew; that Bin Laden was responsible for the 9/11 attacks. <o:p></o:p></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">In a BBC News article reporting on the "9/11 confession video" release, President Bush is said to have been hesitant to release the tape because he knew it would be a vivid reminder to many people of their loss. But, he also knew it would be "a devastating declaration" of Bin Laden's guilt. "We're going to get him," said President Bush. "Dead or alive, it doesn't matter to me." <o:p></o:p></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> I</o:p>n a CNN article regarding the Bin Laden tape, then New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said that "the tape removes any doubt that the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region></st1:place> military campaign targeting bin Laden and his associates is more than justified." Senator Richard Shelby, R-Alabama, the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee said, "The tape's release is central to informing people in the outside world who don't believe bin Laden was involved in the September 11 attacks." <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Shelby</st1:city></st1:place> went on to say "I don't know how they can be in denial after they see this tape." Well Senator Shelby, apparently the Federal Bureau of Investigation isn't convinced by the taped confession, so why are you? <o:p></o:p></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Muckraker Report attempted to secure a reference to the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region></st1:place> government authenticating the Bin Laden "confession video", to no avail. However, it is conclusive that the Bush Administration and U.S. Congress, along with the dead stream media, played the video as if it was authentic. So why doesn't the FBI view the "confession video" as hard evidence? After all, if the FBI is investigating a crime such as drug trafficking, and it discovers a video of members of a drug cartel opening talking about a successful distribution operation in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">United States</st1:country-region></st1:place>, that video would be presented to a federal grand jury. The identified participants of the video would be indicted, and if captured, the video alone would serve as sufficient evidence to net a conviction in a federal court. So why is the Bin Laden "confession video" not carrying the same weight with the FBI? <o:p></o:p></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Remember, on June 5, 2006, FBI spokesman, Chief of Investigative Publicity Rex Tomb said, "The FBI has no hard evidence connecting Osama Bin Laden to 9/11." This should be headline news worldwide. The challenge to the reader is to find out why it is not. Why has the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region></st1:place> media blindly read the government-provided 9/11 scripts, rather than investigate without passion, prejudice, or bias, the events of September 11, 2001? Why has the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region></st1:place> media blacklisted any guest that might speak of a government sponsored 9/11 cover-up, rather than seeking out those people who have something to say about 9/11 that is contrary to the government's account? And on those few rare occasions when a 9/11 dissenter has made it upon the airways, why has the mainstream media ridiculed the guest as a conspiracy nut, rather than listen to the evidence that clearly raises valid questions about the government's 9/11 account? Why is the Big Media Conglomeration blindly content with the government's 9/11 story when so much verifiable information to the contrary is available with a few clicks of a computer mouse? <o:p></o:p></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">Who is it that is controlling the media message, and how is it that the <st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region> media has indicted Osama Bin Laden for the events of September 11, 2001, but the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">U.S.</st1:country-region></st1:place> government has not? How is it that the FBI has no "hard evidence" connecting Osama Bin Laden to the events of September 11, 2001, while the U.S. media has played the Bin Laden - 9/11 connection story for five years now as if it had conclusive evidence that Bin Laden was responsible for the collapse of the twin towers, the Pentagon attack, and the demise of United Flight 93?</div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605057989490284368.post-24596760772207272492011-07-04T19:42:00.000-07:002011-07-04T19:42:06.006-07:00Obama Administration Lists Israel as a Terror Sponsor!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;">The Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) maintains a <a href="http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/us-designates-israel-country-tends-promo"><span style="color: #0854c7;">list</span></a> of “specially designated countries” (SDCs) that “have shown a tendency to promote, produce or protect terrorist organizations or their members.” The folks from these nations get special scrutiny when they enter the U.S.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here’s the short list:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://cloud.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/ICESpecialAgentNew.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://cloud.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/ICESpecialAgentNew.gif" /></a>Afghanistan<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Australian central bank’s note-printing units and six people including former managers have been charged with bribing officials in <span style="color: #0033cc;">Malaysia</span>, Indonesia and<span style="color: #0033cc;">Vietnam</span> to win currency contracts. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Securency International Pty and Note Printing Australia Ltd. were charged over alleged payments to foreign public officials between 1999 and 2005, the Australian <a density="full" href="http://www.afp.gov.au/media-centre/news/afp/2011/july/foreign-bribery-charges-laid-in-australia.aspx" rel="external" title="Open Web Site"><span style="color: #0033cc;">Federal</span></a> Police said in a statement on its website. The <a density="full" href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/reserve-bank-of-australia/"><span style="color: #0033cc;">Reserve Bank of Australia</span></a>, which owns NPA and 50 percent of Securency, said in a statement it condemns corrupt behavior of any kind and no one at the bank has been accused of wrongdoing. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Today’s arrests are the first under Australia’s decade-old foreign bribery laws and coincided with related bribery charges against two individuals in Malaysia by that nation’s Attorney-General’s Chambers following an investigation by the country’s anti-corruption commission, the AFP said. The RBA said in November last year that it will sell its stake in Securency. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">“It’s clearly embarrassing for the <span style="color: #0033cc;">Reserve Bank</span>, but I think the market would make a clear distinction” between their monetary policy and note printing functions, said Nigel Stapledon, a former Treasury and Westpac Banking Corp. economist who lectures at the University of New South Wales’ school of business in Sydney. “I don’t think that it’s going to have any material effect on people’s judgment of their performance on monetary policy, which is more critical.” </div><h2 style="text-align: justify;">‘Full Confidence’ </h2><div style="text-align: justify;">Australian Assistant Treasurer <a density="full" href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/bill-shorten/"><span style="color: #0033cc;">Bill Shorten</span></a>, speaking after the announcement, told reporters in Melbourne that he has “full confidence in the Reserve Bank of Australia.” </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Governor <a density="full" href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/glenn-stevens/"><span style="color: #0033cc;">Glenn Stevens</span></a> said after the announcement that“the Reserve Bank condemns in the strongest terms corrupt or questionable behavior of any kind.” </div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Companies associated with the Reserve Bank and their staff must, like the bank itself, meet the highest standards of integrity and fully comply with the law,” Stevens said in an e-mailed statement. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Police said today a team of up to 20 officers had worked on the investigation, resulting in charges against six men from the state of Victoria aged between 50 and 66. The six men appeared in a <a density="sparse" href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/melbourne/"><span style="color: #0033cc;">Melbourne</span></a> magistrate’s court today. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The charges carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail and/or a fine of A$1.1 million ($1.2 million), AFP’s statement said. </div><h2 style="text-align: justify;">‘Clear Message’ </h2><div style="text-align: justify;">“This sends a very clear message to corporate Australia that the AFP will diligently chase and enforce the laws on foreign bribery,” said Chris McDevitt, AFP manager special references commander, in a press conference today in Melbourne. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The AFP will allege that during the period 1999-2005, senior managers from Securency and NPA utilized international sales agents to bribe foreign public officials in order to secure banknote contracts, according to today’s statement. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Malaysia’s Attorney-General Gani Patail said his department is cooperating with colleagues in Australia and <a density="sparse" href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/bank-negara-malaysia/"><span style="color: #0033cc;">Bank Negara Malaysia</span></a>, the nation’s central bank. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission has charged Mohamad Daud Dol Moin, a former assistant central bank governor, for allegedly accepting a 100,000 ringgit ($33,000) bribe related to a contract to print polymer bank notes, the commission said in an e-mailed statement today from <a density="full" href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/kuala-lumpur/"><span style="color: #0033cc;">Kuala Lumpur</span></a>. Collin Goonting, a lawyer for Mohamad Daud, said in a telephone interview his client pleaded not guilty. </div><h2 style="text-align: justify;">University Scholarship </h2><div style="text-align: justify;">The AFP said it will allege that in Vietnam a foreign official received a bribe paid in the form of a university scholarship to secure a banknote contract on behalf of Securency, the statement said. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Vietnam will consider the case “seriously and objectively,” Pham Anh Tuan, deputy chief of the secretariat of the Office of the Anti-Corruption Steering Committee said by phone from Hanoi today. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The AFP statement said the charges brought against the companies are “not a reflection that individual board members were complicit or had knowledge of any illegal activity.” </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Australian central bank Governor Stevens said the RBA“deeply regrets that the governance arrangements and processes in the companies at that time were not able to prevent or detect the alleged behavior that has led to today’s charges.” </div><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Sale Talks </h2><div style="text-align: justify;">Securency Chairman Bob Rankin said in an e-mailed statement that the company is “considering its legal position.” Since it became aware of the allegations in May 2009, Securency’s board has taken steps to ensure compliance with ethical business practices, the statement said. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Securency is in talks with potential buyers, Managing Director Philippe Etienne said in a phone interview today. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">“The business is currently in a divestment process,” he said. “I don’t expect the RBA to be shareholder in the medium term.” </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Formed in 1996, Securency is a joint venture between the RBA and Innovia Films, and supplies materials used in the printing of banknotes and security documents, according to Securency’s website. NPA, fully owned by the RBA, printed Australia’s first polymer banknote in 1988, while Innovia Films produces the base material that’s been used in bank notes issued in 31 nations, including Malaysia, Vietnam and <a density="sparse" href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/indonesia/"><span style="color: #0033cc;">Indonesia</span></a>, the website says. </div><h2 style="text-align: justify;">Test Case </h2><div style="text-align: justify;">The RBA’s share of Securency’s profit before income tax in 2009-10 was A$9.5 million, according to the central bank’s 2010 annual report. NPA earned a profit after tax of A$4.3 million in 2009-10. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Michael Ahrens, spokesman at Transparency International Australia, a group that has lobbied governments for tougher anti-corruption laws, said today’s charges are “a test case.” </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Australian foreign bribery law isn’t as good as legislation in the U.S. or the U.K., where a new law comes into effect today, because it sets the bar too high to win convictions, Ahrens said. Civil prosecutions, such as those available in the U.S. and U.K., require only that the weight of the evidence tip in favor of the prosecutors to win a conviction. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">In <a density="sparse" href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/australia/"><span style="color: #0033cc;">Australia</span></a>, prosecutors must prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, Ahrens said. “We need to adopt a more modern piece of legislation,” he said. “There are too many hurdles, it’s too technical.” He said he was surprised police laid charges, even after a two-year probe. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">“I was doubtful they would be willing to take the plunge,” he said. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

The corporate-owned mainstream media is not interested in looking out for us. Rather, they are going to tell us whatever fits with the agenda that their owners are pushing.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">1) The Nuclear crisis at the Fort Calhoun nuclear facility in Nebraska USA has received almost no attention in the International mainstream media. It has been inundated with flooding and is completely flooded out. The ground level spent fuel pools were flooded out and the river water is now mixing with the cooling water and flowing back down the river.<br />
How many millions will be in contact with this water that is now totally radioactive?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2) Most people are aware that the U.S. is involved in wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya. However, the truth is that the U.S. military is also regularly bombing <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43333763/ns/world_news-the_new_york_times/"><span style="color: #3970dc;">Yemen</span></a>, <a href="http://www.japantoday.com/category/world/view/19-killed-in-2-u-s-drone-attacks-in-northwestern-pakistan"><span style="color: #3970dc;">Pakistan</span></a> and parts of <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/national-security/us-drones-target-two-leaders-of-somali-group-allied-with-al-qaeda/2011/06/29/AGJFxZrH_story.html?hpid=z1">Somalia</a>. If you count the countries where the U.S. has special forces and/or covert operatives on the ground, the U.S. is probably "active" in more countries in the Middle East than it is not. Now there are even persistent rumors that U.S. ground units <a href="http://www.infowars.com/u-s-invasion-of-libya-set-for-october/"><span style="color: #3970dc;">are being prepared to go into Libya</span></a>. Are we watching the early stages of World War 3 unfold before our eyes in slow motion? It was obvious with Hitler's Nazi's because the west was against them but now it IS the west. Who will tell us before it's too late? NOBODY!</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">3) The crisis at Fukushima continues to get worse. Arnold Gundersen, a former nuclear industry senior vice president, <a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/features/2011/06/201161664828302638.html"><span style="color: #3970dc;">recently made the following statement</span></a> about the Fukushima disaster....</div><blockquote><em>"Fukushima is the biggest industrial catastrophe in the history of mankind"</em></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">TEPCO has finally admitted that this disaster has released more radioactive material into the environment <a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/features/2011/06/201161664828302638.html"><span style="color: #3970dc;">than Chernobyl did</span></a>. That makes Fukushima the worst nuclear disaster of all time, and it is far from over.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Massive amounts of water is being poured into the spent fuel pools in order to keep them cool. This is creating "<a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/features/2011/06/201161664828302638.html"><span style="color: #3970dc;">hundreds of thousands of tons of highly radioactive sea water</span></a>" that has got to go somewhere. Inevitably much of it will get into the ground and into the sea.</div>Arnold Gundersen says that the scope of this problem <a href="http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/features/2011/06/201161664828302638.html"><span style="color: #3970dc;">is almost unimaginable</span></a>....<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">4) Members of USA Congress continue to mention Christians as a threat to national security. For example, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBAmPxSI8bo&feature=player_embedded"><span style="color: #3970dc;">during a recent Congressional hearing</span></a> U.S. Representative Sheila Jackson Lee warned that "Christian militants" might try to "bring down the country" and that such groups need to be investigated.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">5) China's eastern province of Zhejiang has experienced that worst flooding that it has seen <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43454430/ns/weather/"><span style="color: #3970dc;">in 55 years</span></a>. 2 million people have already been forced to leave their homes. China has already been having huge problems with their crops over the past few years and this is only going to make things worse.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">6) Thanks to the Dodd-Frank Act (USA), over the counter trading of gold and silver <a href="http://www.zerohedge.com/article/trading-over-counter-gold-and-silver-be-illegal-beginning-july-15?page=1"><span style="color: #3970dc;">is going to be illegal</span></a> starting on July 15th. Or at least that is what some companies apparently now believe. The following is an excerpt from an email that Forex.com recently sent out to their customers....</div><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>Important Account Notice Re: Metals Trading </strong></em></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><em>We wanted to make you aware of some upcoming changes to FOREX.com’s product offering. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act enacted by US Congress, a new regulation prohibiting US residents from trading over the counter precious metals, including gold and silver, will go into effect on Friday, July 15, 2011.</em></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><em><strong>In conjunction with this new regulation, FOREX.com must discontinue metals trading for US residents on Friday, July 15, 2011 at the close of trading at 5pm ET. As a result, all open metals positions must be closed by July 15, 2011 at 5pm ET. </strong></em></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><em>We encourage you to wind down your trading activity in these products over the next month in anticipation of the new rule, as any open XAU or XAG positions that remain open prior to July 15, 2011 at approximately 5:00 pm ET will be automatically liquidated.</em></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><em>We sincerely regret any inconvenience complying with the new U.S. regulation may cause you. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact our customer service team.</em></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><em>Sincerely,<br />
The Team at FOREX.com</em></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">7) All over the world, huge cracks are appearing for no discernible reason. For example, a massive crack <a href="http://thewatchers.adorraeli.com/2011/03/07/scientists-are-sounding-the-alarm-the-mysterious-cracks-appear-across-the-planet/"><span style="color: #3970dc;">that is approximately 3 kilometers long</span></a> recent appeared in southern Peru. Also, a 500 foot long crack suddenly appeared recently <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtTmnXt1TUQ&feature=player_embedded"><span style="color: #3970dc;">in the state of Michigan</span></a>. When you also throw in all of the <a href="http://thisistheendoftheworldasweknowit.com/archives/sinkholes-2010"><span style="color: #3970dc;">gigantic sinkholes</span></a> that have been opening all over the world including Australia, it is easy to conclude that the planet is becoming very unstable.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">8) There are reports that North Korea has tested a "<a href="http://www.newsmax.com/KenTimmerman/super-emp-emp-northkorea-nuke/2011/06/16/id/400260"><span style="color: #3970dc;">super EMP weapon</span></a>" which would be capable of taking out a country's power grid in a single shot. The North Koreans are apparently about to conduct another nuclear test and that has some officials very concerned.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">9) NASA has just launched a "major" preparedness initiative for all NASA personnel. The following is an excerpt about this plan <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/centers/hq/emergency/personalPreparedness/index.html"><span style="color: #3970dc;">from NASA's own website</span></a>....</div><blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;"><em>A major initiative has been placed on Family/Personal Preparedness for all NASA personnel. The NASA Family/Personal Preparedness Program is designed to provide awareness, resources, and tools to the NASA Family (civil servants and contractors) to prepare for an emergency situation. The most important assets in the successful completion of NASA’s mission are our employees’ and their families. We are taking the steps to prepare our workforce, but it is your personal obligation to prepare yourself and your families for emergencies.</em></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div></blockquote><div style="text-align: justify;">10) <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"><a href="http://viewzone2.com/fakegoldx.html"><span style="color: black;">“In October of 2009 the Chinese received a shipment of gold bars.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"><em>In short, Americas Gold is GONE! </em>So concerned had Congressman Ron Paul become about the US government and the Federal Reserve hiding the truth about American gold reserves that he put forward a bill in late 2010 to <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/116341-ron-paul-plans-bill-to-audit-us-gold-reserves"><span style="color: black;">force an audit of them</span></a>, but which was subsequently defeated by Obama regime forces. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Funny that!</span></span></div><br />

<li><a href="http://www.phoenixtears.ca/"><span style="color: #297ccf;">Phoenix Tears - Promoting Hemp Oil as a natural healing agent...</span></a><br />
We are at the dawn of new age in medicine and a new day for mankind. Not only can hemp save the world, it can eliminate a great deal of human suffering and can even put an end to starvation. What are we waiting for?</li>
<li><a href="http://www.natural-health-information-centre.com/codex-alimentarius.html"><span style="color: #297ccf;">Codex Alimentarius - the REAL threat to World health</span></a><br />
Codex Almentarius is a global cartel designed to hand over the control of natural remedies to the pharmaceutical giants. If you use herbs (including garlic - in ANY way), vitamins, minerals or other natural health treatment, you MUST read about it.</li>
</ul></div><div class="module moduleAdSpot color0" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="module moduleText color0" id="mod_7248149" style="text-align: justify;"><h2 class="subtitle">Codex Alimentarias</h2><div class="txtd" id="txtd_7248149">Codex alimentarius is one of the major bodies behind the effort to limit access to nutritional products and information. <br />
Its motivation is not rocket science and neither is the source of its funding - money that somehow expected to return a profit to its members . . . <br />
Most of the information available regarding codex alimentarius refers to its role in the USA, but it is not a US-specific body. <br />
Far from it, Codex has wiggled its dirty little tentacles into just about every national or international body concerned with public health. <br />
Posing as a benefactor, it then uses its significant financial and political clout to do its masters bidding.<br />
<em><strong>What can we expect under Codex? </strong></em><br />
To give you an idea, here are some important points:<br />
<ul><li>Dietary supplements could not be sold for preventive (prophylactic) or therapeutic use. </li>
<li>Potencies would be limited to extremely low dosages. Only the drug companies and the big phytopharmaceutical companies would have the right to produce and sell the higher potency products (at inflated prices). </li>
<li>Prescriptions would be required for anything above the extremely low doses allowed (such as 35 mg. on niacin). </li>
<li>Common foods such as garlic and peppermint would be classified as drugs or a third category (neither food nor drugs) that only big pharmaceutical companies could regulate and sell. Any food with any therapeutic effect can be considered a drug, even benign everyday substances like water. </li>
<li>Codex regulations for dietary supplements would become binding (escape clauses would be eliminated). </li>
<li>All new dietary supplements would be banned unless they go through Codex testing and approval. </li>
<li>Genetically altered food would be sold worldwide without labeling.</li>
</ul>OK, now hopefully we have your attention, so lets move onwards.<br />
Scripture predicted these changes in these last days, and '<em>pinned the tail to the donkey'</em>, when it named it the '<em>Doctrine of Devils</em>' - that is; a doctrine designed and applied that is inspired by Satan not God.<br />

Any hope that the new Gillard administration would reverse the hawkish policies of former prime minister John Howard, who championed the island gulags that hold thousands of refugees from Iraq, Afghanistan, Burma and elsewhere, has been short-lived – Gillard, herself a Welsh immigrant to Australia, is pushing ahead with a plan to send hundreds of refugees to Malaysia, one of only a handful of countries not to have ratified the UN refugee convention and which is therefore not bound by international laws dictating how refugees should be treated.</div><div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">Forgetting the hypocrisy of Canberra’s attempts to deny those in need asylum (Gillard arrived in Australia aged four after doctors in the UK prescribed a warmer climate as a cure for a bronchial condition), there is real concern about the conditions that the 800 refugees earmarked for the ‘Malaysia Solution’ will be forced into. Nearly 170,000 refugees and asylum-seekers “come to Malaysia seeking safety, having fled situations of torture, persecution or death threats,” said an <a href="http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/ASA28/010/2010/en/2791c659-7e4d-4922-87e0-940faf54b92c/asa280102010en.pdf"><span style="color: #ce0000;">Amnesty report</span></a> last year. “But once they arrive, they are abused, exploited, arrested and locked-up – in effect treated like criminals.”</div><div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">The 800 leaving Australia for Malaysia are mostly ‘boatpeople’ who have washed up on Australia’s shores only to be detained in over-crowded, high security centres on <a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article6958520.ece"><span style="color: #ce0000;">Christmas Island</span></a> or onshore camps, where some have been known to stay for as long as five years. They are the victims of Howard’s strengthening in 2001 of the government’s mandatory detention policy, which allows for indefinite detention of unauthorised persons, including children (something that the ruling Labour government, which used as an election stick criticism of the ‘children behind razor wire’ practice of Howard, spoke out against in the run-up to the 2007 vote).</div><div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">By inking the deal with Malaysia, Gillard has violated Australia’s obligations to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, of which Article 33 states that “no contracting State shall expel or return (refouler) a refugee in any manner whatsoever to the frontiers of territories where his (or her) life or freedom would be threatened”. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, has already said the move is illegal, and Australia’s parliament has rejected it, but that matters little – it is effectively a done deal, Ian Rintoul of the Refugee Action Coalition <a href="http://www.dvb.no/news/australian-mps-reject-refugee-swap/16164"><span style="color: #ce0000;">told DVB</span></a> earlier this month.</div><div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">Every now and then, a detainee in one of these Australian centres erupts in a fit of frustration, and for a brief period draws attention to conditions in the camps – earlier this year a man from the Rohingya minority in Burma attempted to set himself on fire in a Darwin camp; last week another Burmese man went on hunger strike. Other nationalities populating the camps have fled war and persecution in the Middle East, Sri Lanka, and elsewhere; now bound for Malaysia, they will be sent to the back of the immigration queue and forced to go through the interminable trials of registration. During that uncertain period, “they face the daily prospect of being arrested, detained in squalid conditions, and tortured and otherwise ill-treated, including by caning”, says the Amnesty report, followed by a precarious life within the bounds of strict immigrant laws.</div><div class="post-content" style="text-align: justify;">Gillard <em>et al</em> are using the initiative as a warning “not to get on that boat” – continual acceptance of refugees would also “send the wrong message” to the people smugglers who facilitate these perilous journeys across seas, they say. Some observers claim it is a populist appeal aimed at harnessing support from Australia’s growing anti-immigration lobby. Regardless, Gillard chooses to ignore the end-results of these policies – a striking show of callousness and hypocrisy given her background.</div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605057989490284368.post-83896296278170304932011-06-28T20:06:00.000-07:002011-06-28T20:07:22.401-07:00USA "Blackmails" UN. - General Assembly can nullify "VETO POWERS" under "Uniting for Peace" mechanism<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><h1 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The US could withdraw funding from the United Nations if its members decide to recognise and independent Palestinian state, a close ally of President Barack Obama has warned.</span> </h1><div class="story" style="text-align: justify;"><div id="storyEmbSlide"><div class="slideshow ssMain"><div class="nextPrevLayer"><div class="ssImg" style="display: block;"><div class="artImageExtras"><div class="ingCaptionCredit">By <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/journalists/jon-swaine/" title="Jon Swaine">Jon Swaine</a>, New York and Adrian Blomfield</div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="byline"><div class="publishedDate">6:21PM BST 24 Jun 2011</div><div class="cl"></div></div><div id="mainBodyArea"><div class="firstPar"><a href="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01929/rice_1929902c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="The US could withdraw funding from the United Nations if its members decide to recognise and independent Palestinian state, a close ally of President Barack Obama has warned.

</script> </div><div class="body">Even so, Republicans in the US Congress are promising to react aggressively to any approval of statehood. Two congressmen have already vowed to initiate bills to withdraw UN funding in the House of Representatives.<br />
Such a development could be devastating to the UN. The US provides almost a quarter of its $2.5 billion (£1.6 billion) annual budget, making a yearly contribution of almost $600 million (£375 million).<br />
Speaking at an event in Washington, Miss Rice said the Obama administration was devoting "extraordinary efforts and energy" to restarting middle-eastern peace talks so that a vote in September could be avoided.<br />
On the prospect of it being approved, she said: "This would be exceedingly politically damaging in our domestic context, as you can well imagine.<br />
"And I cannot frankly think of a greater threat to our ability to maintain financial and political support for the United Nations in Congress than such an outcome".<br />
A video of Miss Rice making the comments has been removed from the internet.<br />
Attempting to play down their significance, a spokesman for the ambassador said: "These were informal remarks in a domestic setting."<br />
The US is desperate to avoid being put into a position of having to wield its veto. With growing international support for Palestinian statehood, even in Europe, the US is looking increasingly isolated in its support for Israel and a veto would badly damage Mr Obama's credentials in a rapidly changing Middle East.<br />
But the president faces a politically damaging backlash from the pro-Israeli lobby and its many supporters in Congress if he does not block a resolution, a move that could also cost all-important Jewish votes in key swing states like Florida during next year's presidential election.<br />
Mr Obama has already angered the Israeli government and its US supporters by calling for a Palestinian state that roughly corresponds to the existing boundaries of the West Bank and Gaza, which Israel occupied after the Six Day war of 1967.<br />
The move was intended to rejuvenate the stalled Middle East peace process.<br />
But Palestinian officials, in public at least, say they remain committed to a UN vote as the only realistic way of breaking the deadlock.<br />
Western powers have backed a two-year Palestinian state-building programme that reaches fruition at the end of August. It has already been judged a success by the World Bank and International Monetary Fund and Palestinian officials say it would be hypocritical for the West to back the state-building exercise but not its "logical outcome".<br />
Britain has indicated that it would not join the US in vetoing Palestinian statehood in the Security Council. But David Cameron is also hoping to avert a highly divisive vote in the general assembly.<br />
"The question is whether we can do anything that might deflect the Palestinians from going ahead with this," a British diplomatic source said.<br />
Some Palestinian officials have conceded in private that they do not want to fall out with Mr Obama and are working on ways to resume peace talks with Israel and postpone a statehood vote. </div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605057989490284368.post-74666090837723485622011-06-27T19:51:00.000-07:002011-06-27T19:51:35.446-07:00French Foreign Min Regrets Russia, China Veto Intervention In Syria (Paris 26th June)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: justify;"><a class="image" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Alain_Jupp%C3%A9_2008.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Alain Juppé"><img alt="" height="484" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Alain_Jupp%C3%A9_2008.jpg/225px-Alain_Jupp%C3%A9_2008.jpg" width="225" /></a><span class="newsarttitle"> <span class="newsarttitle"> </span>PARIS -(Dow Jones)- French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe Sunday said he regrets Russia's and China's veto threat to a United Nations Security Council's resolution to authorize an intervention in Syria.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">France and other countries haven't submitted any resolution on Syria to the Security Council, as they expect the action to be blocked.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"I regret the repression continues unleashed in conditions that threaten the region's security," Juppe said in an interview with French TV cable news channel LCI.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">He said France is working with other countries in the UN's Security Council to secure an agreement in favor of an intervention in Syria, Juppe said. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">-By Inti Landauro, Dow Jones Newswires; +33 1 4017 1740; inti.landauro@ dowjones.com</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.nasdaq.com/aspx/stock-market-news-story.aspx?storyid=201106261335dowjonesdjonline000189&title=french-foreign-min-regrets-russiachina-veto-intervention-in-syria">http://www.nasdaq.com/aspx/stock-market-news-story.aspx?storyid=201106261335dowjonesdjonline000189&title=french-foreign-min-regrets-russiachina-veto-intervention-in-syria</a></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605057989490284368.post-17937638126258475062011-06-27T19:21:00.000-07:002011-06-27T19:21:02.705-07:00SIERRA LEONE PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE: Press Release 27 June, 2011.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span lang="EN-AU"><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

We also condemned Mr. Wade’s stupid and arrogant comments about Libyan leader Muammar Qathafi and the Libyan Government.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">President Wade has not only associated himself with the devil to assassinate a sister sovereign independent African nation, but has abandoned the oath of office he swore to defend the Constitution of Senegal and to promote peace, stability and to combat terrorism in Africa and elsewhere on the global village. Mr. Wade swore also to end the rebellion in the Cassamance region of Senegal. While the aged leader is huffing and puffing for regime change in Libya through foreign aggression and crusade attacks, Mr. Wade has lost his sense of reason and has betrayed the conscience of the Africans everywhere.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">In this Press Release, we expose and condemn further President Wade’s complicity in NATO’s brutal terrorism against the people of Libya.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">It has become clear by the passing hour that the rogue government of President Abdoulaye Wade in Dakar is plotting with foreign detractors to overthrow the legitimate Government of Libya and to murder Muammar Qathafi and his entire family-i.e. the goal of NATO’s current aggression of Libya, an impeccable source in Dakar intimated us. This decision by President Wade to plot the murder of Muammar Qathafi and his family was taken at a meeting of secret service agents from the US, France, Britain, Qatar, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. The Israeli dreaded MOSSADS were also present at the meeting which was held in Saint Louis in Senegal.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">President Wade has also allowed territories of Senegal to be used by anti-Libyan, anti-African terrorist outfits for training, transits and planning violent attacks against the Libyan state.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">In carrying out the aggression against Libya, President Abdoulaye Wade along his idols, President Nicola Sarcozy, David Cameron, Barrack Obama and the corrupt Monarchy empires in the Arabian Gulf region are all guilty of planning and brutally executing an illegal war of aggression-the crime for which the Nazi leaders were arrested and tried at Nuremberg and summarily executed.

We are like you: people, who get up every morning to study, work or find a job, people who have family and friends. People, who work hard every day to provide a better future for those around us.<br />
Some of us consider ourselves progressive, others conservative. Some of us are believers, some not. Some of us have clearly defined ideologies, others are apolitical, but we are all concerned and angry about the political, economic, and social outlook which we see around us: corruption among politicians, businessmen, bankers, leaving us helpless, without a voice.<br />
This situation has become normal, a daily suffering, without hope. But if we join forces, we can change it. It’s time to change things, time to build a better society together. Therefore, we strongly argue that:<br />
<br />
The priorities of any advanced society must be equality, progress, solidarity, freedom of culture, sustainability and development, welfare and people’s happiness.<br />
These are inalienable truths that we should abide by in our society: the right to housing, employment, culture, health, education, political participation, free personal development, and consumer rights for a healthy and happy life.<br />
The current status of our government and economic system does not take care of these rights, and in many ways is an obstacle to human progress.<br />
Democracy belongs to the people (demos = people, krátos = government) which means that government is made of every one of us. However, in Spain most of the political class does not even listen to us. Politicians should be bringing our voice to the institutions, facilitating the political participation of citizens through direct channels that provide the greatest benefit to the wider society, not to get rich and prosper at our expense, attending only to the dictatorship of major economic powers and holding them in power through a bipartidism headed by the immovable acronym PP & PSOE.<br />
Lust for power and its accumulation in only a few; create inequality, tension and injustice, which leads to violence, which we reject. The obsolete and unnatural economic model fuels the social machinery in a growing spiral that consumes itself by enriching a few and sends into poverty the rest. Until the collapse.<br />
The will and purpose of the current system is the accumulation of money, not regarding efficiency and the welfare of society. Wasting resources, destroying the planet, creating unemployment and unhappy consumers.<br />
Citizens are the gears of a machine designed to enrich a minority which does not regard our needs. We are anonymous, but without us none of this would exist, because we move the world.<br />
If as a society we learn to not trust our future to an abstract economy, which never returns benefits for the most, we can eliminate the abuse that we are all suffering.<br />
We need an ethical revolution. Instead of placing money above human beings, we shall put it back to our service. We are people, not products. I am not a product of what I buy, why I buy and who I buy from.<br />
<br />
For all of the above, I am outraged.<br />
I think I can change it.<br />
I think I can help.<br />
I know that together we can.I think I can help.<br />
<br />
I know that together we can.<br />
