Palestinian Prisoners

About The Prisoners Exchange With Israel


Salim Nazzal Oct 17,2011


Palestinians have the right to celebrate the freedom of their sons and daughters who spent years in the Israeli jails because they fought the occupation and they deserve a hero-like reception. Fighting the Zionist occupation is an honor for those Palestinians who put defending Palestine before their own interests. And shame on all those European countries which preach to us about democracy and human rights yet lifted no finger about Palestinians taken to jail by illegal power in Palestine.


And since 2006, the year of arresting the French mercenary soldier by Palestinian freedom fighters, the question of the European and American mercenaries in the Zionist army has not taken serious concern in terms of the international law, including the juridical responsibility of these countries which its citizen join an occupation army and contribute in murder and occupation.


Therefore I address Palestinian's lawyers to consider this question and to take legal actions because all know that the Israeli army includes thousands of European and American citizens who kill and occupy innocent Palestinians.

The second point I like to raise is the question of how the Palestinian side accept deporting 41 prisoners outside Palestine, while we know from the experience of the church deportee in 2003 that none of them were allowed to return to their homes.


This question has juridical, national, social and human sides and we Palestinians are extremely sensitive to the question of deporting us from our home country because this is exactly what Zionism is about, to deport as many Palestinians as they could.


Bearing all these considerations in mind, I am shocked that the Palestinian negotiating team has accepted the principle of deportation, knowing how this word is extremely sensitive in the Palestinian psychology. And all of us do not forget for a moment that the Russian polish defacto Zionist state is based from A to U on the question of deporting Palestinians from their homeland.

However, I do not claim that I know much about the science of negotiation, nor I am a political man by any way, but as a Palestinian who studied well the Zionist criminal history in Palestine, I would strongly oppose the idea of deporting any Palestinian from his home under all conditions. However I hope this would be the last time such horrible things are accepted by Palestinian negotiators; looking of course towards the day we see no Palestinian in the Zionist jails, and no Zionists on the land of Palestine.

The War On Democracy

'The War On Democracy' (2007) was John Pilger's first for cinema. It explores the current and past relationship of Washington with Latin American countries such as Venezuela, Bolivia and Chile.

Using archive footage sourced by Michael Moore's archivist Carl Deal, the film shows how serial US intervention, overt and covert, has toppled a series of legitimate governments in the Latin American region since the 1950s. The democratically elected Chilean government of Salvador Allende, for example, was ousted by a US backed coup in 1973 and replaced by the military dictatorship of General Pinochet. Guatemala, Panama, Nicaragua, Honduras and El Salvador have all been invaded by the United States.

John Pilger interviews several ex-CIA agents who took part in secret campaigns against democratic countries in the region. He investigates the School of the Americas in the US state of Georgia, where Pinochet’s torture squads were trained along with tyrants and death squad leaders in Haiti, El Salvador, Brazil and Argentina.

The film unearths the real story behind the attempted overthrow of Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez in 2002 and how the people of the barrios of Caracas rose up to force his return to power.

It also looks at the wider rise of populist governments across South America lead by indigenous leaders intent on loosening the shackles of Washington and a fairer redistribution of the continent's natural wealth.

John Pilger says: "[The film] is about the struggle of people to free themselves from a modern form of slavery". These people, he says, "describe a world not as American presidents like to see it as useful or expendable, they describe the power of courage and humanity among people with next to nothing. They reclaim noble words like democracy, freedom, liberation, justice, and in doing so they are defending the most basic human rights of all of us in a war being waged against all of us."

'The War On Democracy' was a Youngheart Entertainment, Granada and Michael Watt production. It was released in UK cinemas on 15 June 2007 and broadcast on ITV1, 20 August 2007. Directors: John Pilger and Chris Martin. Producers: Chris Martin and Wayne Young. Editor: Joe Frost. The film was made with the support of the humanitarian financier Michael Watt.

Awards: Best Documentary Award, 2008 One World Awards, London. The panel's citation read: "There are six criteria the judges are asked to use to select the winner of this award: the film's impact on public opinion, its appeal to a wide audience, its inclusion of voices from the developing world, its high journalistic or production standards, its success in conveying the impact of the actions of the world's rich on the lives of the poor and the extent to which it draws attention to possible solutions. One film met every one of these. It was the winner of the award: John Pilger's 'The War on Democracy'."

Lies and More Lies



The Fast and Furious Plot

to Occupy Iran


Tehran would have to be terminally foolish to try to snuff out an ambassador on US soil, author says.

By Pepe Escobar

October 13, 2011 "Al-Jazeera" - - No one ever lost money betting on the dull predictability of the US government. Just as Occupy Wall Street is firing imaginations all across the spectrum - piercing the noxious revolving door between government and casino capitalism - Washington brought us all down to earth, sensationally advertising an Iranian cum Mexican cartel terror plot straight out of The Fast and the Furious movie franchise. The potential victim: Adel al-Jubeir, the ambassador in the US of that lovely counter-revolutionary Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

FBI Director Robert Mueller insisted the Iran-masterminded terror plot "reads like the pages of a Hollywood script". It does. And quite a sloppy script at that. Fast and Furious duo Paul Walker/Vin Diesel wouldn't be caught dead near it.

The good guys in this Washington production are the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). In the words of Attorney General Eric Holder, they uncovered "a deadly plot directed by factions of the Iranian government to assassinate a foreign Ambassador on US soil with explosives".

Holder added that the bombing of the Saudi embassy in Washington was also part of the plan. Subsequent spinning amplified that to planned bombings of the Israeli embassy in Washington, as well as the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Buenos Aires.

The Justice Department has peddled quite a murky story - Operation Red Coalition (no, you can’t make that stuff up) - centred on one Manssor Arbabsiar, a 56-year-old holding both Iranian and US passports and an Iran-based co-conspirator, Gholam Shakuri, an alleged member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps's (IRGC) Quds Force.

Arbabsiar allegedly had a series of encounters in Mexico with a DEA mole posing as a Mexican drug cartel heavy weight. The Iranian-American seems to have been convinced that the mole was a member of the hardcore Zetas Mexican cartel, and reportedly bragged he was being "directed by high-ranking members of the Iranian government", including a cousin who was "a member of the Iranian army but did not wear a uniform".

On top of it, he told the DEA mole that his Iranian government buddies could come up with "tons of opium" for the Mexican cartel (an Afghan connection, perhaps). Then they discussed a "number of violent missions" complete with Arbabsiar bragging about bombing a packed Washington restaurant used by the Saudi ambassador.

Holder characterised the whole thing as a $1.5m "murder-for-hire" plan. Arbabsiar was arrested only a few days ago, on September 29, at JFK airport in New York. He allegedly confessed, according to the Justice Department. Shakuri for his part is still at large.

Holder was adamant: "The United States is committed to hold Iran accountable for its actions." Yet he stopped short of stating the plot was approved by the highest levels of the Iranian government. So what next? War? Hold your horses; Washington should first think about asking the Chinese if they’re willing to foot the bill (the answer will be no).

Predictably, the proverbial torrent of US "officials" came out with guns blazing, spinning everything in sight. An alarmed Pentagon will be increasing surveillance over the Quds Force and "Iran’s actions" in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf. Former US ambassadors stated that, "it's an attack on the United States to attack this ambassador". Washington is about to impose even more sanctions against Iran; and Washington is urgently taking the matter to the UN Security Council.

What next? An R2P ("responsibility to protect") resolution ordering NATO to protect every House of Saud minion across the world by bombing Iran into regime change?

Ali Akbar Javanfekr, a spokesman for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, at least introduced a little bit of common sense. "I think the US government is busy fabricating a new scenario and history has shown both the US government and the CIA have a lot of experience in fabricating these scenarios ... I think their goal is to reach the American public. They want to take the public's mind off the serious domestic problems they're facing these days and scare them with fabricated problems outside the country." Iran has not even established yet that these two characters are actually Iranian citizens.

The Iranian government - which prides itself on a logical approach to diplomacy - would have to have been inoculated with a terminal Stuxnet-style foolishness virus to behave in such a counterproductive manner, by targeting a high-profile foreign policy adviser to King Abdullah on American soil. The official Iranian news agency IRNA described the plot as "America's new propaganda scenario" against Iran.

As for the Washington mantra that "Iran has been insinuating itself into many of the struggles in the Middle East", that's undiluted Saudi propaganda. In fact it's the House of Saud who's been conducting the fierce counter-revolution that has smashed any possibility of an Arab Spring in the Persian Gulf - from the invasion and repression of Bahrain to the rash pre-emption of protests inside Saudi Arabia's Shia-dominated eastern provinces.

The whole thing smells like a flimsy pretext for a casus belli. The timing of the announcement couldn't be more suspicious. White House national security advisor Thomas E. Donilon briefed King Abdullah of the plot no less than two weeks ago, in a three-hour meeting in Riyadh. Meanwhile the US government has been carrying not plots, but targeted assassinations of US citizens, as in the Anwar al-Awlaki case.

So why now? Holder is caught in yet another scandal - on whether he told lies regarding Operation Fast and Furious (no, you can't make this stuff up), a federal gun sting through which scores of US weapons ended up in the hands of - here they come again - Mexican drug cartels.

So how to bury Fast and Furious, the economic abyss, the 10 years of war in Afghanistan, the increasing allure of Occupy Wall Street - not to mention the Saudi role in smashing the spirit of the Arab Spring? By uncovering a good ol' al-Qaeda style plot on US soil, on top of it conducted by "evil" Iran. Al-Qaeda and Tehran sharing top billing; not even Cheney and Rumsfeld in their heyday could come up with something like this. Long live GWOT (the global war on terror). And long live the neo-con spirit; remember, real men go to Tehran - and the road starts now.

Pepe Escobar is the roving correspondent for Asia Times. His latest book is named Obama Does Globalistan (Nimble Books, 2009).

War Scores



Since the 1979 Iranian revolution and the downfall of the US Puppet Ruler the Shah, Iran has been an Islamic state. In that interval of time, 1979 to the present, Iran has not invaded anyone. Not once. People of all religions live in peace in Iran, even Jews, who find life so comfortable in Iran they refused an offer by the government of Israel to emigrate!

In the same period of time, Israel, a self-declared Jewish state, attacked Iraq in 1981, bombing the power station at Osirik, claiming it was a clandestine weapons factory. Subsequent examination of the ruins following the 2003 invasion proved Israel had lied. In 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon. This led to the Massacres at Sabra and Shatilla. In February 2003 Israel staged incursions into Gaza and Nablus. In September 2007 Israel bombed Syria, again insisting they were destroying a clandestine weapons laboratory. Again there was no evidence to support Israel's claims. In 2006, Israel attacked Lebanon, killing 1200, mostly civilians, several UN observers, and littering the landscape with land mines on their way out. In February 2008 Israel again raided Gaza, killing over 100. HAMAS agreed to a cease fire and kept it for 6 months until November 4, when Israel again attacked without warning, killing 6 HAMAS members, and launching operation CAST LEAD. 1300 Gazans, mostly civilians, were killed. Israel lost 13 soldiers. Violations of international law included the use of White Phosphorus incendiary bombs against civilians and non-military targets. The United Nations investigated, but Israel refused to cooperate. In May 2010, Israel attacked an international aid flotilla bringing food and medical supplies to Gaza in international waters. 9 people were murdered including an American from New York.

In the same period of time, the United States, officially a secular nation but predominantly Christian, attacked El Salvador (1980), Libya (1981), Sinai (1982), Lebanon (1982 1983), Egypt (1983), Grenada (1983), Honduras (1983), Chad (1983), Persian Gulf (1984), Libya (1986) , Bolivia (1986), Iran (1987), Persian Gulf (1987), Kuwait (1987), Iran (1988), Honduras (1988), Panama (1988), Libya (1989), Panama (1989), Colombia, Bolivia, and Peru (1989), Philippines (1989), Panama (1989-1990), Liberia (1990), Saudi Arabia (1990), Iraq (1991), Zaire (1991), Sierra Leone (1992), Somalia (1992), Bosnia-Herzegovina (1993 to present), Macedonia (1993), Haiti (1994), Macedonia (1994), Bosnia (1995), Liberia (1996), Central African Republic (1996), Albania (1997), Congo/Gabon (1997), Sierra Leon (1997), Cambodia (1997), Iraq (1998), Guinea/Bissau (1998), Kenya/Tanzania (1998 to 1999), Afghanistan/Sudan (1998), Liberia (1998), East Timor (1999), Serbia (1999), Sierra Leon (2000), Yemen (2000), East Timor (2000), Afghanistan (2001 to present), Yemen (2002), Philippines (2002) , Cote d'Ivoire (2002), Iraq (2003 to present), Liberia (2003), Georgia/Djibouti (2003), Haiti (2004), Georgia/Djibouti/Kenya/Ethiopia/Yemen/Eritrea War on Terror (2004), Pakistan drone attacks (2004 to present), Somalia (2007), South Ossetia/Georgia (2008), Syria (2008), Yemen (2009), Haiti (2010), etc. etc. etc. etc.

Capitalism

A Psychological Profile of the Petty Minds That Defend Capitalism


by Maria Fernandez


Contrary to popular belief, capitalism’s staunchest defenders are not billionaires. Capitalism’s strongest believers are often a notch or two above the poverty lines. They are traitors from the middle class who harbor hopes of one day becoming filthy rich.

Billionaires know themselves, they know that they are guilty, rotten, human beings. Billionaire recognizing their inherent complicity in the destruction of human lives. This is why the billionaire Warren Buffet recently wrote a letter asking the congress to stop ‘coddling billionaires’.

Billionaires know themselves very well, and they recognize their patterns of deceit instinctively. This is why they have a hard time defending the system vocally. It is the minions, the middle class dogs, who go about telling the world how great capitalism is. It is weak individuals who want to have a bigger house and a fancier car that are always telling us what an amazing, creative, system capitalism is.

At times you get conservatives, who are actually impoverished, defending capitalism, because they secretly aspire to impossible gains and imaginary riches. They are brainwashed human things, who treat thieving billionaires like benevolent fathers.

The defenders of capitalism are idiotic people who are under the spell of capitalism even as it drives the whole world into an escapable cycle of debt and poverty. They are the workers who suck up to the boss. They are the feeble minded creatures who think that worshipping the boss will make you a boss.

The reality of the matter is that these fools defend a system that actually exploits them. They are the modern day uncle toms, house slaves at best. They defend a system that indebts their children. They defend a way of life which destroys their very minds and souls.

Ignore these fools, these pit bull slaves of their capitalist masters. Really, do not waste time on these vocal defenders of capitalism, for they are not the enemy. They are a distraction. They are just mislead morons who think that saying prosperity enough times will make it come to fruition.

Focus on the billionaires, attack the doctrines of the billionaires and the ruling elites, do not attack their vocal domesticated animals.

First We Present The Fair



Missing Links - The Definitive Truth About 9/11 - Full Documentary, a two hour film placing the blame for USA's 911 events as a false flag opperation conceived and executed by Isreal with support of its amerikan supporters

Following is the source uploader's introduction to the film below

"Now you will discover the definitive truth about 9/11 and learn why even the most popular movies on the subject have failed to address the evidence exhaustively presented in this video. The facts will make it abundantly clear that the so-called 9/11 Truth movement has been infiltrated and is ultimately controlled by the same criminal group who masterminded the attacks. As they say, 'if you want to control the dissent you lead the dissent.' Utilizing evidence from the FBI, CIA, NSA, US Armed Forces Intelligence sectors, Foreign Intelligence organizations, local law enforcement agencies and independent investigators, Missing Links goes where no other 9/11 video has dared to."

And Now For The Balance



9/11 is Mossad Job, a 9 minute video negating all that appeared above

The responsible YouTube account holder leaves this introduction

"A global network of anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists is energetically working to blame Jews and Israel for the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

"These theories are the latest manifestation of centuries-old allegations that Jews manipulate and control world events for their own benefit. They bring the Protocols of the Elders of Zion into the 21st century, updating a familiar theme: that Jews are inherently evil and have a "master plan" to rule the world.

"What makes the 9/11 conspiracy theories particularly important is that they have united disparate groups of Jew haters — American far-right extremists, white supremacists and elements within the Arab and Muslim world — who are exchanging and echoing information, ideas, and conspiracy theories, particularly through the Internet."

An Amerikan Article




New York

Power Center for US Financial

and Political Corruption



by moneychanges on October 7, 2011

Instead of boots on the ground in Libya, the American people actually need their military to deploy to Wall Street and the New York Federal Reserve. In an ideal political world the military would have already been ordered to seize control of numerous banking corporations and arrest and detain numerous individuals in the New York financial and political establishment. They could be justified in doing so by the same the practices and standards set for the war on terror which included detention centers and military tribunals. What is happening in New York constitutes high crimes and misdemeanors, sedition, treason, bribery, theft, racketeering, and corruption in ways that threaten the national security of the United States.

Protecting the interests of Wall Street and private banking interests is the core principal of the New York political establishment. New York Judges, district attorney’s, police, Mayors, state officials, and regulators at every level of the state government are either protective of, complicit with, or feign blindness to the criminal nature of their state’s ruling class.

The targeting of former IMF Director Dominique Strauss-Kahn for a questionable prosecution in New York ought to be examined in light of who controls the State of New York politically. The existence of top down political control over New York’s politicians ,government officials, and law enforcement agencies renders the banking elites of New York immune from real investigation or prosecution for wrong doing of any kind. The New York Banking establishment has similarly corrupted the political and legal machinery in Washington DC so that federal regulatory agencies charged with oversight of their activities have their hands tied.

The capability of having such complete control over a state is a significant factor in why so many large banks choose to have their headquarters in New York when there are so many other states to choose from. Such control over the state bureaucracy and media may also implicate New York Banking Interests in complicity in the September 11th terrorist attacks. Only New York officials were in the unique position to conduct a cover ups, block investigations, and derail lawsuits related to the September 11th terrorist attacks at the state level.

At the federal level the Bush administration was filled with Neoconservatives from the New York establishment who could lend a hand in the 911 cover up. According to a New York Times magazine article the Neoconservative movement was born in New York.

“The roots of neoconservatism lie in a remarkable group of largely Jewish intellectuals who attended City College of New York (C.C.N.Y.) in the mid- to late 1930′s and early 1940′s”

WHAT COMES AFTER OCCUPY WALL STREET PROTESTS

Aside from deserving praise for their courage of conviction, the Occupy Wall Street protesters deserve credit for having correctly identified that the primary influence of corruption of the US Government is based in New York not Washington DC. The time has come for Tea Party supporters and like minded conservatives to consider they have been misled in choosing Washington DC as their prime target and to change their focus to the New York Federal Reserve and its member banks.

The US Government’s political and economic problems almost entirely stem from it being a puppet of large banking and financial interests headquartered in New York which are typified by Goldman Sachs. The New York establishment lead the efforts to make the Federal Government adopt ruinous policies of unnecessary wars, economic globalization, free trade, and financial deregulation. The end result of these policies has been the bankruptcy of the financial sector, a huge government debt, the destruction of the US industrial and manufacturing base, and the outsourcing and relocation of most of America’s high tech industry to Asia. To add injury to insult, the New York Financial interests used their power and influence over the New York Federal Reserve to force Americans into bearing the burden of their liabilities which are upwards of 16 trillion dollars.

Conservative mass media are downplaying the Occupy Wall Street protests as being liberal led and aimed at helping President Obama. Some like Alex Jones are calling for occupation protests to be conducted in Washington DC aimed the Federal Government and the Federal Reserve. If the protests stop or if their energy diverted to occupy Washington DC the end result would serve the New York establishment who is presently petrified that they will be the sole focus of nationwide protest. If the focus stays on New York and is expanded to include the New York FED it would be a shot heard around the world, creating a significant political opening in the United States and internationally for real reform of the monetary and banking system.

However if Washington DC is in chaos and under occupation by Egyptian style pro-democracy protesters, and/or tea party populists, then the advantage will be lost to the New York Banking establishment. They will be able to escape unscathed and continue business as usual with an even greater ability to do so. Unlike a government or national corporation, these banks operate internationally and are a powerful force both inside and outside of governments all around the globe. A strong and effective government is the only entity which poses a threat to them. That is why they will likely support and lead efforts to put the United States through an Egyptian style revolution. Such would likely be done with the same New York based leadership that provided support for the Arab revolts.

At present Egypt is politically weak and fractured in the aftermath of its revolution. For that reason the country is at the mercy of the powerful banking interests and foreign intelligence agencies who are attempting to manipulate its political parties and the control the evolution of the new government to their advantage. The ability of international banking interests to have their policies prevail now in Egypt is greater then before the revolution and that may have been the intention by design. Since the beginning of the Arab Revolts there was no real accounting or concern by Arabs for why there was so much support for them from western entities like Google, Facebook, George Soros, and the US State Department under former New York Senator Hillary Clinton. The reality has been that only particular Arab Revolts were supported by the West, and the regimes which had close economic and political ties with the West were protected by them to the best of their ability. After select Arab governments that were out of favor with Western powers were toppled there was no effective governance in those countries. Now these politically weakened countries are subject to increased influence by outsiders who are able to use vast sums of money and other tools of manipulation to steer the formation of policy and outcomes in ways such as aid packages and loans.

What is most important to the New York Establishment is that all these Arab countries stay inside the collapsing dollar denominated Western Financial system a little while longer until they can figure out how they are going to deal with Chinese resistance to their agenda and to a lesser degree resistance from other BRIC countries like Russia. While many see the western financial system collapsing globally the International Bankers in New York and London can only see that they are as close as ever to achieving their dream of one world financial system which is under their control. All of the war, deaths, and chaos which they have helped unleash in the Arab and North African region this year is just a small example of how far they are willing to go to achieve their agenda.

The international network of western power which coordinated to support the Arab Spring still exists and may well be activated to control and steer the direction of the Occupy Wall Street protest movement which is fast becoming a national protest. That network includes finance, television and print media, internet social media, corporations, the US State Department, and numerous activist front organizations like Movements.org. According to a New York Times article the organization Movements.org is highlighted for its instrumental role in sowing the seeds for the Arab Spring, supporting the revolts as they were in progress, and for being headquartered in New York. The make up of its staff, its inclusion of US government officials as speakers in its conferences, and its big corporate sponsorship all strike of a duplicitous and vast pro-Western and pro-Israel agenda to topple and remake Arab and Middle eastern governments as they see fit.

GEORGE SOROS IS ALSO BASED IN NEW YORK

George Soros is based in New York and has a hedge fund called the Quantum Fund which has been linked to the powerful Rothschild family banking interests. Few will dispute that billionaire speculator George Soros has become the effective owner of the Democratic Party. It is well known that Mr. Soros has used his fortune acquired as international speculator to become a champion of liberal causes through his New York Based Open Society Foundation.

However it is not known how much of the billions he donates to the Open Society Foundation is his own money rather then being money channeled on behalf of other interests like the Rothschild financial empire. Due to how much impact the Soros money is having on toppling governments and determining policy of governments all over the globe shouldn’t more Americans and democratic party members be concerned with his high degree financial support and influence over the Democratic Party and other liberal advocacy groups?

Ironically Soros has has at least one major thing in common with the Tea Party leadership. Neither will come out in favor of directly taking on the corrupt Wall Street/Federal Reserve Banking establishment which are headquartered in New York. Is it a coincidence that Mr. Soros chooses New York as his home base and the headquarters for his Open Society Foundation? Or could it be that he is just following tradition because New York still remains the location of what President Andrew Jackson’s fought against and identified as a “den of vipers and thieves”

Far from being a simple philanthropist George Soros is playing a significant role in the financial domination of the entire world by Western Financial institutions. Like George Soros, many other billionaires in the world today have borrowed their starting capital from a financial oligarchy to which they remain loyal and in the service of throughout their lives. In the United States, that financial oligarchy’s main branch has always been in New York.

The Rothschild Banking family fortune backs the New York Establishment and was accumulated over centuries by usury, war profiteering, creating corporate monopolies, and subverting nations to go to war with one another on behalf of their interests. Some famous American names which were financed by Rothschild Money are JP Morgan and Rockefeller. As New York continues to be the base of operations for this subversion of the United States it is truly the best place to mount an offensive like Occupy Wall Street to restore liberty. And similarly the best place for anti-Federal Reserve protesters to have the most effective impact is a few blocks away from the New York Stock Exchange at the New York Federal Reserve.

With few exceptions, the largest banks in the US are all headquartered in New York. This is a major factor in why the New York FED is extraordinary powerful in relation to the other 11 Federal Reserve District Banks. The New York FED is also where the vast majority of bank bailouts from 2007 to 2009 were conducted rather than the Federal Reserve Headquarters in Washington DC. In actuality, shutting down the New York Fed would have a greater financial and political impact then shutting down every one of the other 11 district offices. New York Banks represent the greatest of all financial liabilities to the taxpayer due to risk associated with their activities. Conservatively these liabilities have already run into the tens of trillions of dollars from FED bailouts. If potential losses from derivatives and credit default swaps are factored in those numbers may approach the hundreds of trillions. The New York FED plays the indispensable role in transferring the liability from these private New York banks to the American people.

WHO ELSE IS IN NEW YORK



The United Nations is Headquartered in New York, and in the last decade New York based Goldman Sachs has come to be publicly recognized as having the most pervasive and detrimental influence on Washington DC of any New York Bank. However there is a lesser publicized entity that is perhaps more influential then Goldman Sachs on US policy. New York Based Kissinger Associates and Henry Kissinger himself may be playing a greater role than Goldman Sachs behind the scenes by setting US government policy and having a strong influence over government officials. The path to powerful positions for many notable diplomats and politicians continues to cross paths with Henry Kissinger. That would include former New York Senator Hillary Clinton who is now Secretary of State and has maintained an unprecedented relationship with Henry Kissinger. Secretary Clinton has established a track record of advocating policies which are virtually indistinguishable from those advocated by Dr. Kissinger . Additionally there is former New York Federal Reserve Chairman Timothy Giethner who is now the current US treasury Secretary. Mr. Giethner actually began his career working for Kissinger Associates.

THE FACTOR OF WAR AND MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX


The real budgetary hemorrhaging of the US Government in recent years results from enormous defense spending to conduct wars which serve to protect the interests of large international banks and advance their agenda. For example President Obama’s expansion of military operations in Afghanistan serves to benefit New York banks in their currency battles with China. The ongoing NATO military aggression against Libya has been the most overt case to date of a war to maintain monopolistic interests of bankers over world reserve currency. Like Libya, the Iraq war was also consistent with objectives of international banking interests and allied with the interests of their most powerful partner the Isreali lobby. Some estimates for the overall costs of the Iraq war run as high as $3 trillion

The New York monied interests have a long sorted history of being pro-soviet and anti-capitalist going back as far as the early 1900′s when Wall Street Financiers backed the Communist Revolution in Russia. During the Great Depression, Wall Street would have destroyed America’s capitalistic system entirely had it not been for the bold leadership of a wealthy Texan named Jesse Jones who chaired the Reconstruction Finance Corporation.

In his powerful position as Chairman of the RFC Jones was given a blank check by congress to economically mobilize the nations defenses for World War II. In that capacity Jones became the Father of the Military Industry Complex as it has come to be known. During the late 1930′s and 40′s, Jones engaged in an intense battle with New York financial interests and their agents in the Roosevelt White House in the course of getting the American Economy back on its feet. Those battles by Jones to take control over the nations credit and have influence over US war industries set the foundation for the eventual shifting of US policy against Communism in the later 1940′s. Due to the hostilities between the New York Bankers and the Texas establishment represented by Jones, it was no accident that many of the largest defense companies which sprung up under the RFC during World War were headquartered in Texas and allied with Texas Oil interests. Of the many large World War II military industrial complex companies that were financed by Jesse Jones, few were based in New York and fewer, if any at all, were controlled by New York Banking interests.

However the Military Industrial Complex of today is not what it was then. The Presidency of George W. Bush and the false flag terrorism of 911 signifies the fusion of the US Military Industrial Complex with the pro-Isreal New York Banking Establishment. The political expression of this fusion of interests is nothing other than “Neoconservativism” and its related political organizations like PNAC. This unholy alliance may or may not be permanent, but no matter the intention of its leadership the alliance could likely fracture into mutual conflict like what happened in the 1940′s and 50′s where the two factions were at odds with each other. Such a circumstance would be desirable as it would change the balance of power in Washington DC and therefore the world as a whole. This would more greatly empower the 99% who are being represented by the Occupy wall street protests, and would go a long way toward ending the current needless US military involvement in the Muslim world.

One scenario which could bring about that change is a complete focus of public protest on the New York Establishment by continuing the current Occupy Wall Street actions. Another possibility for a non-violent solution which breaks the unholy Neoconservative alliance between Defense Interests and New York Banking Interests is to successfully implement a Truth and Reconciliation Commission which grants amnesty for all crimes involving national security including 911, Kennedy Assassination, Iran Contra, and of the Cold War era as a whole. This would require the truth be told on public record and admission to crimes in order to gain amnesty or a pardon for specific crimes. While no one could go to jail, it has the potential to bring out the truth and identify and remove from power all those who are either guilty or compromised in some way. A large number of individuals in the Banking Sector and US national security establishment are being threatened or blackmailed in order to make them continue participating in ongoing coverups and immense crimes against humanity and the state which are financial, political, and military in nature.

Wall Street and the New York Banking establishment are the genesis of this corruption in the United States and have always been the greatest enemy of American capitalism. Wall Street remains the antithesis of what defines real free market competition in world commerce and banking today. If economic history was truthful taught in universities then it would be more widely known that Jesse Jones and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation played the leading role in rescuing capitalism from Wall Street and New York Bankers during the Great Depression. It is for that reason that American conservatives should not have to think twice about declaring a revolutionary war on New York Banking interests for fear of undermining capitalism. Aside from undermining and exploiting markets that are not policed or regulated, what does today’s Wall Street have to do with the kind of capitalism associated with production, industry, manufacturing, small business, competition, opportunity, and private ownership?

Even free societies need laws and to empower police that will enforce them. Without laws and law enforcement a society will break down and the worst aspects of human nature will manifest themselves in ways that threaten the public good. The same is true of free markets. Aside from the financial cost to the public, the failure of Wall Street is most dangerous because of the threat to liberty it poses.

Wall Street and New York Banks have grown into a tyranny that works against private ownership, free markets, and entrepreneurship. Such an outcome could have been predicted if people would have presumed human nature to be the same in economic life as it is in personal life. For instance, imagine what would happen if state and local governments shut down police stations and jails. What if laws were revoked which punish murder, rape, theft, etc? Wouldn’t we expect an increase in crime and chaos to follow such a move? The predictable outcome would be that rather than the most noble, the most ruthless individuals would take advantage of the disorder and be most capable of organizing themselves to rule over the rest of society as a criminal elite. That is exactly what we are seeing from the New York Financial Establishment today.

Free Market ideology is not compatible with a constitutional republic that practices capitalism, rather it is a Trojan horse intended to destroy that very political system and replace it with a morally corrupt financial means of dictatorship. Conservatives and the tea party faithful should join the protest movement on Wall Street and buck their phony leadership by changing their target from Washington DC to New York.

Next False Flag: Israel trying to Shut Down American Revolution



I have been following the Occupy Wall Street and some of its look-a-likes in other US cities through internet news and our Occupy Wall Street Forum post. There have been changes, not only of location spread but also character cast evolving from begining wannabe young white know-it-alls knowing little to that of image enhancing visiting celebrities, union groups, older people, darker skin shade, and even appearance of political activism experience. Of all the placards read and slogans heard there are two words not yet noted, "Israel" and "Palestine". However, that may be changing also. Michael Rivero, an internet broadcaster, uploaded the following introductory text and 15 minute video to YouTube on 4 October 2011.

"I'll tell you who stands to lose the most if occupy America works, and that is ISRAEL. Israel is scared out of their minds if this succeeds, for two reasons: If Israel does not succeed in derailing occupy WallST / occupy America they are going to lose all those billions of dollars that come from the US govt to buy them weapons to shower them all over Palestinian children, they are going to lose all the weapons they get sent to them for free by the US government, they are going to lose all those loan gaurentees, and most importantly Israel will lose the VETO of the US at the UN security council, without which they could not have gotten away with their war crimes for the last 1/4 of a century... that is who is REALLY trying to derail this right now, this nation is a slave to Israel by virtue of the government being a slave to Israel. If the American people throw out the US federal government, Israel has lost their biggest herd of slave animals and walking wallets, and I think that's the reason Alex Jones is out there bashing the Occupy WallST people."

Jew Mobile Phone

The Jew-Only Panic Mobile Technology


by Gilad Atzmon



Ladies and gentleman the ‘CST Report’ mobile application is ready to launch. The first ‘Jew only’ mobile application designed to comfort Jews, their anxiety and their very special security needs.

The London Jewish Chronicle reported today that the ‘Community Security Trust’ (CST) has launched a system to help members of the Jewish community, report ‘anti-Semitic’ incidents direct from their mobile phones.

CST Report is like an "app" for smart-phones. It can be used on any mobile, which has internet access. It is very much like “Angry Birds” yet it is designed to deter the angry Goyim.

It allows its Jewish users to register where and when an incident took place: the nature of it, a description of what happened and their details. Because CST Report is designed specifically for mobile use, it allows those who have witnessed an incident to upload a video or pictures from the phone direct to the CST command bunker in Golders Green. I think that this is a refreshing development. It would clearly disable the potential deniers of any future Shoa. With the CST Report at hand, Jews will be able to provide the CST control room with instantaneous reports from the crime scene.

However, I am puzzled by some of the technological aspects to do with this incredible invention. I am, for instance, a Jew by origin, yet I oscillate constantly between being an ‘Ex-Jew’ and a ‘proud self hating Jew’. In those unique moments of self-loathing, as I am embarking onto some universal ethical realisations, should I hit the panic button and report myself to the CST cyber command? Also, being Jewish by origin, and being subject to constant orchestrated Jewish hate campaigns partially organised by the CST, am I entitled for support of the CST?

Apparently Sheikh Raed Salah was arrested here in the UK in June following a ‘tip off’ that was originated at the CST. Considering Sheikh Salah being far more ‘Semitic’ than the vast majority of British Jewry, could he benefit from such an application installed on his iPhone?

Finally, a suggestion, I honestly think that CST Report is a bit of a cold and boring name for such an innovative technology. I honestly believe that iVey, would appeal to a much wider audience among the upbeat Jewish community.

SIRTE

The slaughter in Sirte


By Patrick O’Connor

NATO countries led by the US, Britain, and France are committing terrible war crimes in the Libyan city of Sirte. In their frenzied drive to crush all remaining resistance in the North African state, NATO and its proxy militia forces aligned with the National Transitional Council are unleashing indiscriminate military force, killing civilians and destroying buildings and infrastructure throughout the urban centre.

Numerous civilian refugees who have managed to escape the siege have reported seeing schools, hospitals, homes, and other civilian buildings destroyed by NATO bombs. Air raids are now taking place around the clock. Anti-Gaddafi militiamen are firing rockets, mortar rounds and tank shells, without even pretending that they are aiming at any particular targets within the city of 100,000 people. Sirte is suffering from severe shortages of food, water and medicine supplies, further fuelling the humanitarian crisis. Children, the elderly and other vulnerable people are especially affected.

The violence underscores the predatory economic and geostrategic calculations behind the regime-change campaign spearheaded by US President Barack Obama, French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister David Cameron. Washington and its European allies aim to seize control of Libya’s lucrative oil reserves, at the same time reasserting their dominance in North Africa and countering the challenge posed to their interests by the revolutionary uprisings in neighbouring Egypt and Tunisia.

The slaughter in Sirte further exposes the “humanitarian” pretext for the war. Last March the imperialist governments and their mouthpieces in the media claimed, without evidence, that Gaddafi’s forces were on the verge of committing a massacre in Benghazi. Now in Sirte, NATO is perpetrating an actual bloodbath on the city’s population in an attempt to overcome the resistance in one of the last pro-Gaddafi strongholds.

Unsurprisingly, the various media pundits and political figures in the US and Europe who backed the war on the basis of “protecting civilians”—including various so-called “lefts” such as Professor Juan Cole and the Nationmagazine—are now uniformly silent amid the unfolding slaughter.

According to estimates previously released by the National Transitional Council (NTC), by early September 30,000 people had been killed and 50,000 wounded in the war. The toll continues to escalate. According to NATO’s publicly released figures, their bombers recorded 121 separate “key hits” in Sirte in the last two weeks of September alone. These air strikes are being conducted on the basis of limited or no intelligence and therefore can only be described as indiscriminate and in blatant contravention of international law.

Tens of thousands of civilians remain trapped in Sirte, though the exact number remains unclear. According to the Red Cross, about 18,000 have left the city. The local population, however, has been swelled by a recent influx of refugees from surrounding areas. This includes a significant number of dark-skinned Libyan families from Tawargha, a town that has been devastated and depopulated by the NTC militias that conducted a murderous racist pogrom there in August and early September.

The people of Sirte are being subjected to a brutal collective punishment for their bitter and determined opposition to the NTC and the NATO intervention. The city is also symbolically identified with the deposed regime. It is Gaddafi’s birthplace and childhood home, and his former legislative body, the General Peoples Congress, convened in Sirte.

For the US, British, and French governments, the destruction serves as a warning to the entire Libyan population—any resistance to the post-Gaddafi order that is to be established under NATO auspices will confront violent repression.

There is a definite parallel between the situation in Sirte and the brutal US offensive in the Iraqi city of Fallujah during November-December 2004. About 10,000 US troops and marines levelled the city of 250,000 people, indiscriminately bombing homes, factories and mosques. The operation was intended to crush the Sunni insurgency against the illegal occupation by terrorising the entire Iraqi people. As is now the case in Sirte, the fighting in Fallujah was less a war or battle than it was an outright massacre, with a vastly outnumbered and lightly armed group of resistance fighters overcome by the world’s most destructive and technologically advanced ground and air forces.

NATO’s conduct of the war in Libya during what appears to be its final stages is also undoubtedly intended to send a signal to governments throughout the Middle East and internationally. In March, Sarkozy made this clear in no uncertain terms, declaring: “Every ruler should understand, and especially every Arab ruler should understand, that the reaction of the international community and of Europe will from this moment on each time be the same.”

Exactly one hundred years ago, on October 3, 1911, Italian forces began a naval bombardment of Tripoli, as part of their drive to annexe the Ottoman provinces of Tripolitania, Fezzna and Cyrenaica, which constitute present-day Libya. The Italian campaign quickly extended from an assault on the Ottoman military forces to a campaign of indiscriminate reprisal attacks and massacres against the local population who rose up against the colonial forces. The Italo-Turkish war, which ended in October 1912, featured a one-sided utilisation of modern military technology, including the world’s first aerial reconnaissance flights and bombing raids.

Lenin described the war as a “perfected, civilised bloodbath.”

None of these words would need to be revised to describe what is now unfolding in Libya. The re-emergence of nakedly colonial-style operations in the twenty-first century is an expression of the deepening crisis of the world capitalist order. The American ruling elite desperately seeks to use its military dominance as a means of offsetting its rapidly eroding economic position. At the same time, the European imperialist powers see an opportunity to regain lost influence in their former colonies, opening up new export markets and securing access to lucrative natural resources.

Even before the fighting has finished, various politicians and accompanying corporate bagmen from the US and Europe have rushed to Tripoli. Everyone is scrambling to secure their cut, above all of the North African state’s enormous oil reserves—recently described by the US ambassador there as the Libyan “jewel in the crown.”

As in the period prior to 1914, humanity confronts a descent into imperialist barbarism. A struggle against war and militarism requires the building of an independent political movement of the working class based on a socialist and internationalist program to abolish the profit system.

USA plots operation against Pakistan



BySergei Balmasov, 1 October 2011

The conflict between the U.S. and Pakistan continues to evolve. Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar has provided a tough and undiplomatic answer to the senior US authorities, including her American counterpart, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who accused Islamabad of "pandering to terrorists" from the "Taliban." The head of Pakistan's foreign ministry, in fact, accused the U.S. intelligence agencies of committing a series of terrorist attacks against U.S. facilities in Afghanistan to write it off to Pakistan.

Earlier, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, U.S. Admiral Mike Mullen, at a hearing in the Senate criticized Islamabad, accusing it of supporting Pakistan's "Haqqani" (ISI) that allegedly could have ordered the militants to attack the U.S. embassy in Kabul on September 13.

According to the senior military officer, "Haqqani" is "a direct continuation of the ISI." In addition, Washington virtually accused Islamabad of committing other attacks as well. Among them is a recent attack on a U.S. base in eastern Afghanistan where 77 soldiers were injured.

The U.S. Ambassador in Islamabad Cameron Munter said that Pakistan has become home to terrorists that the local authorities stay in contact with instead of fighting. Mullen openly accused Pakistan of exporting terrorism to Afghanistan and added other accusations of Islamabad to Mullen's speech. He said that he had strong evidence that this group was behind the attack at the hotel "Intercontinental "in Kabul on June 28 and was responsible for a number of small but efficient operations.

However, the high-ranking Americans provided no conclusive evidence in support of their words. This did not stop them from basing more serious charges on these allegations at the official level. On September 23, the head of the U.S. State Department stated that the Pakistani authorities have allowed the Islamists to take control of the country, and as a result the situation there became deadly for the global security. According to Hillary Clinton, the Islamists continue to take control over an increasing number of territories. She considered this to be sufficient to call Pakistanis to take a tough stance against the irresponsible policies of their government. The Head of the Department of State reported that the attention of U.S. President Barack Obama in fighting "extremists" was not confined to Afghanistan, and that this struggle extended to the fight with the Islamists, Taliban and Al Qaeda in Pakistan. Despite a new wave of the financial crisis, Washington is ready to allocate billions of dollars to the cause.

Another alarming statement was made earlier by the Pentagon that the Americans were ready to independently eliminate "Haqqani" group on the Pakistani territory if it is not done by Islamabad. The Pentagon chief Leon Panetta said that the US's patience is running out and they simply cannot allow the terrorists to quietly sneak into Afghanistan to attack the US forces and retreat to Pakistan to rest.

Hillary Clinton believes that the urgency of the situation in Pakistan should not be underestimated. She does not rule out that "terrorist groups" may be able to overthrow the Pakistani government.

Such statements are a continuation of a series of anti-Pakistani statements of the American politicians that became more frequent after the events of May 1-2, the alleged liquidation of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. The Foreign Minister of Pakistan Hina Rabbani Khar not only accused her American counterpart of a lie, but openly declared that the United States that created "Haqqani" some time ago is supporting terrorism.

According to the head of Pakistan's foreign ministry, she meant the intrigues of the CIA directed against Islamabad, and the fact that the Americans have never provided evidence of cooperation of ISI with militants. Hina Rabbani Khar is convinced that these actions increasingly more often affect the territory of Pakistan. The head of the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar has threatened to break the alliance with the U.S. that is trying to eliminate their allies. This would include military cooperation with the U.S. She warned Washington against making Pakistan an outlaw, or else they would have to answer for their choice.

However, it is too early to speak about a complete breakup. The U.S. Central Command chief Gen. James Mattis have arrived in Islamabad for talks with the commanders of the armed forces of Pakistan. Yet the harsh statements made by the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are clearly not conducive to a constructive dialogue. It is difficult to come to an agreement in the context of the information warfare, and the visit of James Mattis can be viewed as a "black mark" for Pakistan.

The "security forces" supported the statements of the Pakistani Foreign Ministry. The Army Chief of Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani said that disengagement from Pakistan, first of all, is unfair, and, second, is unproductive. The Minister of Internal Affairs of Pakistan Rehman Malik warned the U.S. that Islamabad will not allow them to conduct operations on its territory. He said that the people of Pakistan would never allow their shoes to walk on their land.

This means that the issue of providing the next tranche of U.S. assistance in the amount of one billion dollars to fight terrorism is in question. The Americans will set conditions for its allocation that would be clearly unrealistic for Pakistan. What does it mean to provide the territory for the U.S. military operations when there is a significant increase in anti-American sentiment in the country?

This was partially caused by the strikes of the American UAV in Pakistan that killed hundreds and hundreds of residents. If the official Islamabad gives a green light for the operation, the opposition will immediately accuse the government of betrayal. Then we cannot rule out an open rebellion in the country, not limited to its north-eastern part.

Pakistani Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani once made an astute observation that the U.S. cannot live with them, but cannot live without them either. However, the United States interprets this statement in two ways. If Washington is really going to limit itself to carrying out punitive operations in Pakistan against the forces supporting the Afghan mujahedeen, it can be seen as a folly that could bring down the current secular government. However, we cannot rule out the fact that the Americans deliberately provoke a fight with far-reaching intentions. Pakistan today is the only Muslim country with nuclear weapons. And under the pretext of fighting terrorists, this arsenal could be destroyed. The Pentagon has already developed several options for such a development, implying, in particular, unexpected precision air strikes and special forces operations.

There is another important point. Pakistan is not that scared of being left without the American financial assistance. Now, in response to the rapid development of its relations with China, the U.S. factor is losing its former influence. This, in turn, cannot but scare Washington. Back in May of 2011 there was information that Islamabad was ready to provide to the Chinese Navy a base on its territory. The appearance of the ships of the "red" in the immediate vicinity of the Persian Gulf area that is considered to be the area of the U.S.'s strategic interests is a nightmare for the Americans. To prevent this, the U.S. can implement the scenario with an attempt of a controlled collapse of Pakistan into a number of small states preceded by the destruction of its nuclear arsenal.


Presidential Murder


After high-profile killings, secret U.S. assassination squad emerges from the shadows

Based in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) is America’s secret army. Members of this clandestine team have recently made news for assassinating alleged al Qaeda operatives Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki; reportedly, they were also responsible for the killings of hundreds of civilians in the 2002 "wedding party" incident in Afghanistan.

In 2009 the investigative reporter Seymour Hersh spoke publicly about this elite military agency. Hersh stated:

"After 9/11 ... the Central Intelligence Agency was very deeply involved in domestic activities against people they thought to be enemies of the state. Without any legal authority for it ... the Joint Special Operations Command -- JSOC it’s called. ... They do not report to anybody, except in the Bush-Cheney days, they reported directly to the Cheney office. ... Congress has no oversight of it. It’s an executive assassination ring essentially ... Under President Bush’s authority, they’ve been going into countries ... and finding people on a list and executing them and leaving. That’s been going on, in the name of all of us. ...

"It’s complicated because the guys doing it are not murderers, and yet they are committing what we would normally call murder. ... In many cases, they were the best and the brightest ... Really fine guys that went in to do the kind of necessary jobs that they think you need to do to protect America. And then they find themselves torturing people. I’ve had people say to me -- five years ago, I had one say: 'What do you call it when you interrogate somebody and you leave them bleeding and they don’t get any medical committee and two days later he dies. Is that murder?'"

Although the organization has only existed for a few decades, the Washington Post recently reported that, since the 2001 terrorist attacks, JSOC has killed more people and interrogated 10 times more detainees than the CIA. JSOC controls its own prisons in the Middle East; it also has its own drones, satellites, and intelligence division, and engages in psychological operations (PSYOP). With roughly 25,000 operatives, it's larger than the CIA, and takes its orders from a higher authority. Not only does the U.S. President provide JSOC with a "kill list," but he even allows JSOC to select its own targets for assassination. According to published reports, JSOC has received approval to conduct missions in more than a dozen countries.

JSOC prides itself on its secrecy. Its officers often do not wear uniforms, and in combat do not carry identifying information. As one operative boasted: “We’re the dark matter. We’re the force that orders the universe but can’t be seen.” Some aver that the Bush and Obama administrations have deliberately kept JSOC's missions secret from Congress and the public by using the Constitution's grant of presidential military authority in order to overlap military and intelligence operations. Admiral William "Fox" Fallon headed U.S. Central Command until several years ago, when he resigned under pressure. Said his colleague retired Marine General John J. (Jack) Sheehan, “When Fallon tried to make sense of all the overt and covert activity conducted by the military in his area of responsibility, a small group in the White House leadership shut him out ... Fox said that there’s a lot of strange stuff going on in Special Ops, and I told him he had to figure out what they were really doing.”

Since then, recent killings of high-profile targets have brought the secretive agency into the public eye. After tracking events at Osama bin Laden's compound in Afghanistan for five years, in May JSOC officers assassinated bin Laden at his Abottabad camp. This week JSOC again made news, this time for killing Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, two United States citizens in Yemen who had allegedly "inspired" attacks against the U.S. JSOC forces tracked the Americans for weeks, and on Friday launched airstrikes with armed drones, killing at least four people. In 2010 President Obama had approved the assassination of Awlaki, who reportedly is not the only U.S. citizen to appear on Obama's kill list.

This week's assassinations, however, sparked protest from some civil libertarians and legal scholars, in part because the U.S. had neither declared war on Yemen nor charged Awlaki with any crime. A U.S. citizen, the Yemeni-American cleric distributed English-language sermons via YouTube that called for jihad against the country of his birth. Though they have not publicly presented any supporting evidence in court, U.S. intelligence officials allege that Awlaki recruited for al Qaeda and inspired the individuals who carried out the Times Square bombing, the 2009 attempted Christmas Day bombing, and the shootings at Fort Hood. Some, however, say that the cleric's actual influence has been overstated.

Others note that the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits political assassination as a deprivation of life without due legal process. According to Jameel Jaffer at the American Civil Liberties Union, JSOC's "targeted killing program violates both U.S. and international law ... this is a program under which American citizens far from any battlefield can be executed by their own government without judicial process, and on the basis of standards and evidence that are kept secret not just from the public but from the courts ... It is a mistake to invest the President ... with the unreviewable power to kill any American whom he deems to present a threat to the country." Constitutional blogger Glenn Greenwald criticized the President for acting as "judge, jury, and executioner." Last summer, Awlaki’s father filed a lawsuit in an attempt to prevent the Obama administration from killing his son without criminal charges or a court trial. While expressing some qualms about its decision, in December the government dismissed the suit, partly on the grounds that the court lacked authority to review the President's military decisions.

JSOC operatives have earned a reputation for being "the most dangerous people on planet earth." Its officers sometimes conducted 300 raids monthly in the Iraq war, and made as many as 1,000 kills in a year. During a 2001 fight, JSOC killed so many opposition forces that "truckloads" of bodies of enemy fighters were carted away afterward. In July 2002, reports surfaced that several hundred civilians, including members of a wedding party, were killed during a JSOC attack on the Taliban. It was reported that some members of JSOC were physically assaulting prisoners, starving and torturing them, and hiding them in secret facilities, as well as detaining female family members in their houses when male targets were not at home. Military commanders nonetheless expressed satisfaction with JSOC’s 50% success rate in targeting the correct individuals and locations. However, in 2009 JSOC's commander, Adm. William McRaven, ordered a temporary halt to JSOC missions in Afghanistan, apparently due to increasing concern that the mounting civilian casualties jeopardized U.S. interests.

Nevertheless, under President Obama, JSOC's missions have not only increased in number, but have also diversified: reportedly, JSOC is currently collaborating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other domestic agencies.

Conquering Africa

Washington is Conquering Africa using France, Human Rights, Terrorism, and the National Endowment for Democracy

by Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya and Julien Teil

A repeat of the disorder and pandemonium generated inside Afghanistan is in the works for the continent of Africa. The United States, with the help of Britain, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, created the brutal Taliban and then eventually waged war on its Taliban allies. Similarly, across Africa, the United States and its allies are creating a new series of future enemies to fight, but after initially working with them or using them to sow the seeds of chaos in Africa.

Washington has literally been helping fund insurgencies and regime change projects in Africa. “Human rights” and “democratization” are also being used as a smokescreen for colonialism and war. So-called human rights and humanitarian organizations are now partners in this imperialist project against Africa.

France and Israel: Is Washington Outsourcing its Dirty Work in Africa?

Africa is just one international front for an expanding system of empire. The mechanisms of a real global system of empire are at work in this regard. Washington is acting through NATO and its allies in Africa. Each one of Washington’s allies and satellites has a specific role to play in the global system of empire.

Tel Aviv has played a very active role on the African continent. Israel was a major unapologetic supporter of South Africa under the racist apartheid system. Tel Aviv also helped smuggle arms into Sudan and East Africa to balkanize that sizeable African nation and destabilize its region.The Israelis have been very active in Kenya and Uganda, for example. The Israeli presence has also existed wherever blood diamonds and conflicts have been present in Africa. Israel is also now working with Washington to establish total hegemony over the African continent. It is actively involved through its business ties and intelligence operations in establishing the contacts and agreements that Washington needs for expansion in Africa and to disrupt the rise of Chinese influence.

France, as a former colonial master and a declining power, on the other hand has traditionally been a rival and competitor of Washington on the African continent. With the rise of the influence of non-traditional powers in Africa, such as the People’s Republic of China, both Washington and Paris began to look at ways of cooperating. On the broader global stage this is also evident. Both the U.S. and several of the major powers in the European Union considered China and other emerging global powers as great enough threats to end their rivalries and work together. Thus, a consensus leading to integration emerged, which was greatly boosted by the presidency of Nicolas Sarkozy in 2007.

President Sarkozy also wasted no time in pushing for reintegration of the French military command structure with NATO, which has subordinated the French military to the Pentagon. In 1966, President Charles de Gaulle pulled French forces out of NATO and removed France from the military command structure of NATO as a means of maintaining French independence. Nicolas Sarkozy has reversed all of this. In 2009, Sarkozy ordered that France rejoin the integrated military command structure of NATO. In 2010, he also signed an accord to start amalgamating the British and French militaries.

On the African continent, Paris has a special place or niche in the U.S. system of global empire– as a regional gendarme in North Africa, West Africa, Central Africa, and all the countries that were its former colonies. France’s special role, in other words, is due to history and the existing, albeit declining, position of France in Africa, specifically through the “Françafrique.” The Union of the Mediterranean, which Sarkozy officially launched, is one example of these French interests in North Africa.

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has also been working through France’s International Federation of Human Rights (Fédération internationale des ligues des droits de l’Homme, FIDH). The FIDH is much more established in Africa. The NED has essentially outsourced its work to manipulate and control African governments, movements, societies, and states to the FIDH. It was the FIDH and the affiliated Libyan League for Human Rights (LLHR) that helped orchestrate the grounds for the NATO war against Libya via the United Nations through unsubstantiated and false claims.

The NED and FIDH


Following the 2007 election of Nicolas Sarkozy as the leader of the French Republic, the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) started to develop a real partnership with the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). Both organizations are also partners within the World Movement for Democracy. Carl Gershman, the president of NED, even went to France in December 2009 to meet with the FIDH to deepen collaboration between the two organizations and to discuss Africa. [1] Most of the partnerships between the FIDH and the NED are based in Africa and the intersecting Arab World. These partnerships operate in a zone that covers countries like Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), Niger, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.North Africa, which includes Libya and Algeria, has been a specific area of focus for the FIDH, where Washington, Paris, and NATO clearly have major ambitions.

The FIDH, which is directly implicated in launching the war on Libya, has also received direct funding, in the form of grants, from the National Endowment for Democracy for its programs in Africa. A NED grant of $140, 186 (U.S.) has been the latest amount given to the FIDH for its work in Africa. [2] The NED was also one of the first signatories, along with the Libyan League for Human Rights (LLHR) and U.N. Watch, demanding international intervention against the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. [3]

AFRICOM and the Post-9/11 Road Towards Conquering Africa

In 2002, the Pentagon started its first major operations aimed at controlling Africa militarily. This was in the form of the Pan-Sahel Initiative, which was launched by United States European Command (EUCOM) and United States Central Command (CENTCOM). Under the project, the U.S. military would trains troops from Mali, Chad, Mauritania, and Niger. The plans to establish the Pan-Sahel Initiative, however, date back to 2001, when the initiative for Africa was actually launched after the tragic events of September 11, 2001 (9/11). Washington was clearly planning military action in Africa, which already included at least three countries (Libya, Somalia, and Sudan) identified as targets by the Pentagon and the White House according to General Wesley Clark.

Jacques Chirac, the President of France at the time, tried to offer resistance to the U.S. push into Africa by reinvigorating Germany’s role in Africa as a means of supporting France. In 2007, the Franco-African summit even opened its doors to German participation for the first time. [4] Yet, Angela Merkel had different ideas about the direction and position that the Franco-German partnership should take in regards to Washington.

Since 2001, the momentum towards creating AFRICOM had started. AFRICOM was officially authorized in December 2006 and the decision to create it was announced several short months later in February 2007. It would be in 2007 that AFRICOM would actually be established. This momentum also received Israeli encouragement. The Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies (IASPS), for example, was one of the Israeli organizations supporting the creation of AFRICOM.

On the basis of the Pan-Sahel Initiative, the Trans-Saharan Counterterrorism Initiative (TSCTI) was launched by the Pentagon in 2005 under the command of CENTCOM.Mali, Chad, Mauritania, and Niger were now joined by Algeria, Mauritania, Morocco, Senegal, Nigeria, and Tunisia in the ring of military cooperation with the Pentagon. The Trans-Saharan Counterterrorism Initiative would be transferred to the command of AFRICOM on October 1, 2008, which is when AFRICOM would be activated.

The Sahel and Sahara: The U.S.Clearly Adopts France’s Old Colonial Projects in Africa

“Fighting terrorism” and executing “humanitarian missions” are just façades or smokescreens. While the stated goals of the Pentagon are to fight terrorism in Africa, the real aims of Washington are to restructure Africa and to establish a neo-colonial order.In this regard, Washington has actually adopted the old colonial projects of France in Africa. This includes the old U.S., British, Italian, and French initiative to divide Libya after 1943 and the unilateral French initiative to redraw North Africa.

The map used by Washington for combating terrorism under the Pan-Sahel Initiative says a lot. The range or area of activity for the terrorists,within the borders of Algeria, Libya, Niger, Chad, Mali, and Mauritania according to Washington’s designation, is very similar to the boundaries or borders of a colonial entity that France tried to create in Africa in 1957. Paris had planned to prop up this African entity in the western central Saharaas a French department (province) directly tied to France, along with coastal Algeria.

This desired entity was referred to as the Common Organization of the Saharan Regions (Organisation commune des regions sahariennes, OCRS). It comprised the inner boundaries of the Sahel and Saharan countries of Mali, Niger, Chad, and Algeria. The French goal was to collect and bind all the resource-rich areas into this one central entity for French control and extraction. The resources in this area include oil, gas, and uranium. Yet, the resistance movements in Africa, and specifically the Algerian struggle for independence, dealt Paris a hard blow. France had to give up its quest and finally dissolve the OCRS in 1962, because of Algerian independence and the anti-colonial stance in Africa, which also cut France off from the inland area in the Sahara and created opposition towards France in Africa.

Washington clearly had this energy- and resource-rich area in mind when it drew out the areas of Africa that need to be cleansed of alleged terrorist cells and gangs. The French Institute of Foreign Relations (Institut français des relations internationals, IFRI) has even openly discussed this in March 2011. [5] It is also in this context that the amalgamation of Franco-German and Anglo-American interests is allowing France to become an integrated part of the U.S. system of global empire with shared interests.

Regime Change in Libya and the NED: A Nexus of Terrorism and Human Rights

Since 2001, the U.S. has falsely presented itself as a champion against terrorism. The Trans-Saharan Counterterrorism Initiative (TSCTI), which opened the doors for AFRICOM in Africa, was justified as necessary by Washington to fight organizations like the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) in Algeria and the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) in Libya. Yet, Washington is cooperating and using these very same groups in Libya, along with the National Front for the Salvation of Libya and the Muslim Brotherhood, as foot soldiers and proxies in Libya and Africa. Moreover, many of the key Libyan individuals that are members of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) are members of these groups and have also been part of conferences and longstanding plans pushing for regime change in Libya.

One of the key meetings for establishing what would become the current Transitional Council in Libya took place in 1994 when the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) organized a conference with Ashur Shamis and Aly (Ali) Abuzakuuk. The 1994 conference’s title was “Post-Qaddafi Libya: The Prospect and the Promise.” In 2005 another conference with Shamis Ashur would be held in the British capital of London that would build on the idea of regime change in Libya. [6]

Ashur Shamis is one of the founding members of the National Front for the Salvation of Libya, which was founded in 1981. He was also wanted by Interpol and the Libyan police. [7] Ahsur was also a director in the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and in the Human and Political Development Forum (and the editor of the Akhbar webpage, which was registered under Akhbar Cultural Limited and was essentially a NED project). He has also participated in key conferences, including the one in London held by Chatham House in 2011, which discussed NATO plans for the invasion of Tripoli. [8]

Like Ashur, Aly Abuzaakouk is also a member of the National Front for the Salvation of Libya and tied to the National Endowment for Democracy. He was one of the key participants and attendees at the roundtable held for the 2011 Democracy Awards by NED. [9] Like Ashur, he is also wanted by Interpol and serves as a director at the Libyan Human and Political Development Forum. [10]

There is also Noman Benotman, a former leader and founder of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) and a wanted terrorist. He conveniently left the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group due to the attacks of September 11, 2011 in the United States. Benotman is not only a National Endowment for Democracy (NED) director in the Libyan Human and Political Development Forum, but he is also tied to the news network Al Jazeera.

Not only have these three men lived in Britain without any problems while they were wanted by Interpol and sought because of their ties to terrorism or, in the case of Benotman, drug-related crimes and forgery, but they also received grants from the United States. They received U.S. grants that formalized their NED organizations, which have been integral to the regime change agenda against the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. This regime change agenda was done with the help of MI6 and the CIA. The legal documents that have been filed for their NED organizations have been deliberately and illegally tampered with. One key individual’s identity has been hidden in the list of NED directors. Thus, legal documents have been fraudulently filled out to hide a certain individual’s identity under the alias of “Beata Wozniak.” Even Wozniak’s birthday is invalid, appearing as January 1, 1 (01/01/0001). She is listed as a director and secretary of Akbar, Transparency Libya Limited, and several British companies.

The Gate into Africa has been Opened

The fanning of terrorism in Africa is part of a deliberate strategy used by the U.S. and its allies, including NATO, for opening the door into the African continent by expanding the so-called “Global War on Terror.” This will give purpose to the U.S. objective of expanding its military presence in the African continent and it will also justify the creation of the Pentagon’s AFRICOM, which is meant to manage Africa by creating an African version of NATO as a means for establishing Washington’s control. In this regard, the U.S. and its allies have already put budgets aside to fight the very terrorist organizations that they have cooperated with, encouraged, nurtured, armed, and proliferated across the map of Africa from Somalia, Sudan, Libya, and Mali to Mauritania, Niger, Algeria, and Nigeria.

The terrorists not only fight for Washington on the ground, but they also interact with Washington through so-called human rights organizations that promote democracy. These individuals not only destabilize their countries, but they also actively work for regime change and military intervention. Libya is a clear case of this.
