Allah the Almighty says:
Koran "5.51": O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
Koran "8.60": And prepare against them what force you can and horses tied at the frontier, to terrorize thereby the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them, whom you do not know (but) Allah knows them; and whatever thing you will spend in Allah's way, it will be paid back to you fully and you shall not be dealt with unjustly.
La beauté de la liberté d'expression, c'est que vous êtes toujours surpris par le cynisme de ceux qui veulent la limiter.

As-Salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh my brothers and sisters in Islam. I am actually a converted Muslim and a blogger who classifies articles that I found on various sites and that I find interesting concerning Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, Chechnya, Somalia, the Philippines, the Caucasus, Thailand, Kashmir and other locations. A memory aid that makes my life easier and at the same time I share this to those who have the same interests as me. I am also a freelance journalist (unpaid since the salary comes from Allah), an investigative journalist on child porn networks in cases such as the Zandvoort files, the Koala Case, the Pinon Case, the CORAL case, the case of a juvenile court judge exposed with an 11 year old autistic boy, the CRIES network, the Case 'Spartacus' and the X Witnesses in Belgium, but also a researcher and analyst on modern state terrorism (the secret NATO operation 'Gladio', the danger of vaccines, CHEMTRIALS in the air, the danger of the new bulbs, aspartame, false flag attacks, a specialist in intelligence and strategic communications. The right for free information, freedom of expression, religion and freedom of literary criticism and the diversity of opinions are a fundamental freedom and a basic right for every human being.There's 2 sides to every coin...so bought sides have the right to express their views concerning the wars. Since a couple of years, we have been confronted with amazing victories of Moudjahideen against the NWO armies and their apostates.This does not correspond with the traditional media who claim to inform us.
At least Censored31 is clear on the subject and this for freedom of speech and press.
For the first time the audience discovers the true face of the war. Images and video contradicts all official versions.This is not Islamic propaganda. This is NOT a call for JIHAD. It is to question why these unjust wars are happening. But secret services around the world want to curtail the free speech on this website.I am against racism, I am against violence,I am against violence, ethnic, racial or religious hatred, intolerance, anti-Semitism and terrorism.

Au nom d'Allah, le Tout Miséricordieux, le Très Miséricordieux. As-Salâmou 'alaykoum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhmes frères et soeurs en Islam. Je suis en fait un musulman converti et un blogueur qui classe les articles que j'ai trouvés sur différents sites et que je trouve intéressante concernant l'état Islamique de l'Irak, la Palestine, l'Emirat Islamique de l'Afghanistan, l'Emirat Islamique du Caucase, la Somalie, les Philippines, la Thaïlande, le Cachemire et d'autres endroits. Un aide-mémoire qui me rend la vie plus facile en cas de recherches d'informations et en même temps, je partage ceci à ceux qui ont les mêmes intérêts que moi. Je suis aussi un journaliste indépendant (non rémunéré puisque le salaire vient d'Allah), un journaliste d'investigation sur les réseaux de porno enfantine dans des affaires de pédocriminalité comme notamment l'affaire Zandvoort, l'affaire Koala, l'affaire Pinon, l'affaire CORAL, l'affaire du juge de la jeunesse haut placé, l'affaire CRIES, l'affaire Spartacus et l'affaire des témoins X, mais également chercheur et analyste concernant le terrorisme d'État moderne (l'affaire GLADIO, le danger des vaccins, les CHEMTRIALS, le danger des ampoules économiques, l'aspartame, les attaques terroristes sous faux drapeaux, etc ..) chercheur en études sur l'Islam, un spécialiste du renseignement et de la communication stratégique. Le droit à l'information libre, la liberté d'expression, la liberté de la religion et la liberté de la critique littéraire et la diversité des opinions est un droit fondamental qui est et un droit fondamental pour chaque être humain, même pour un(e) Musulman(e).
Il y a toujours 2 côtés à une médaille ... donc chaque partie bénéficie du droit d'exprimer son point de vue durant une guerre, non?
Depuis quelques années, nous avons été confrontés à des victoires étonnantes des Moudjahideen contre les armées du nouvel ordre mondial et leurs apostats. Ceci ne correspond pas avec la version des médias traditionnels qui prétendent nous informer. Au moins Censored31 est claire sur le sujet et ce, pour la liberté d'expression et la presse. Pour la première fois le public découvre le vrai visage de la guerre à travers des vidéos qui ont été publié et héberger par des sites web américains et canadiens. Les images et vidéos contredisent toutes versions officielles. Ceci n'est pas de la propagande Islamique. Ceci n'est pas un appel au JIHAD. Il s'agit de se demander pourquoi il y a des guerres injustes sur terre ? Et Censored31 apporte les réponses essentielles. Ce n'est donc pas l'apologie pour le terrorisme, un mot qui fait d'ailleurs tout avaler sans broncher, un mot qui fait tout voter, même le massacre de millions d'enfants, hommes et femmes libre. Ce blog n'est donc pas un appel à la violence. Je suis contre le racisme, l'antisémitisme, la haine ethnique, raciale ou religieuse, l'intolérance, la violence et le terrorisme.

The Swiss politician and, Daniel Streich, converted into Islam
The Swiss politician Daniel Streich, who rose to fame as a result of his opposition to mosques in his homeland, has now embraced the faith he reviled.
Daniel Streich was a member of then Swiss People's Party (SVP) in Switzerland. A well-known politician, Streich led the calls for a ban on minarets across Switzerland. He was active in building anti-Muslim sentiments throughout Switzerland. This sustained campaign led to him being given a high ranking position in the Swiss Army.
Streich left the SVP in November 2009 calling his party's campaign against Islam as a 'witch hunt.' The date coincided with the second anniversary of Streich's conversion which he had kept secret from the party.
With the party's campaign to ban minarets leading to a referendum, Streich said the situation had become unbearable for him.
In the lead up to the ban Streich said "If the initiative passes, it will be an absolute deep blow for me. I would have to ask myself, why I applied myself professionally and politically for over 30 years for this political system. It is not worthy of Switzerland to force Muslims to practice their faith in back alleys."
Streich is a military instructor in the Swiss army and was said to be a committed Christian reading the Bible and attending Church regularly.
He was also committed to his party (SVP) and stood as a local politician in the commune of Bulle.
Streich attempted to understand the Qur'an and Islamic teachings in order to argue against Muslims on tenets of their faith. In the course of his efforts the ex-Christian began to agree with and acknowledge the proclamations of the Qur'an.
"Islam offers me logical answers to important life questions, which, in the end, I never found in Christianity," says Streich. He is now a committed Muslim, who attends the mosque, recites the Qur'an and prays five times a day.
Streich has now focused his intentions on participating in the building of the new Conservative Democratic Party in the canton of Freiburg. Freich's new movement is in contrast to his previous one and he aims to promote religious tolerance and peaceful cooperative living, in spite of the fact that ban on mosques minarets has gained a legal status.
He is vehemently opposed to the Minaret ban and is hoping to establish Switzerland's fifth mosque and the most beautiful in Europe.
Meanwhile the SUV have raised concerns over Streich's position as Military Commander in the Army in the aftermath of his conversion citing him as a security risk. SVP-National Council member Alfred Heer cited the Fort Hood shooting spree as an example.
People who drink two or more sweetened soft drinks a week have a much higher risk of pancreatic cancer, an unusual but deadly cancer, researchers reported on Monday.
People who drank mostly fruit juice instead of sodas did not have the same risk, the study of 60,000 people in Singapore found.
Sugar may be to blame but people who drink sweetened sodas regularly often have other poor health habits, said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota, who led the study.
“The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin in the body, which we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth,” Pereira said in a statement.
PORT-AU-PRINCE — As fear for post-disaster epidemics haunts, doctors from some countries and international organizations are orchestrating vaccination efforts against diseases that may spread in the tent cities of quake-hit Haiti.
A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Children are main vaccination targets and vulnerable adults will also get vaccine shots in temporary residence areas which are mostly large tents in open places.
So far there is no evidence that contagious diseases have broken out in the makeshift camps, but diseases caused by poor hygiene, like skin rashes and respiratory complaints are plentiful.
Red Cross officials worry about a potential cholera outbreak.
Cuban doctors have started vaccinating children in a clinic at the Silvia Cattor Stadium in the Haitian capital.
Canadian military base commander of CFB Trenton charged with Murders
The Canadian military was rocked to its core Monday following the bombshell allegation that the colonel in command of the country's largest air force base had killed two women and sexually assaulted two others. Col. Russell Williams, a 46-year-old career member of the Canadian Forces, was charged Monday with first-degree murder in the deaths of Jessica Lloyd, 27, of Belleville, and Marie France Comeau, a 38-year-old corporal with CFB Trenton's 437 squadron who was killed last November.
He is now also charged with sexual assault and forcible confinement in attacks on two other women in the region during home invasions last September. Williams was appointed as the base commander of CFB Trenton last July. The high-profile military base is where troops depart from for Afghanistan and where repatriation ceremonies are held honouring slain soldiers.
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Aqsa foundation for endowment and heritage that caters for Muslim holy shrines in Palestine disclosed that big cracks were seen in the northern wall of the Aqsa Mosque.
According to a press release issued by the foundation and published by the Quds Press on Tuesday, the cracks were expanding day after day, and described the situation as "serious".
The foundation quoted analysts and experts as asserting that based on the examinations they have conducted, the cracks were the result of the continued Israeli excavations near the wall, particularly under the Omari school, which is located within the zone of the Mosque.
However, the foundation highlighted that the Israeli excavations were more than what had been discovered so far, warning that the continuation of those excavations pose direct threat to the Mosque, and would sooner or later affect its existence.
Nevertheless, the foundation vowed to expose the Israeli practices against the Mosque, urging, at the same time, Arab and Muslim countries to stand up in defense of the first Muslim Qiblah.
Claims on behalf of authorities that naked body scanner images are immediately destroyed after passengers pass through new x-ray backscatter devices have been proven fraudulent after it was revealed that naked images of Indian film star Shahrukh Khan were printed out and circulated by airport staff at Heathrow in London.
“It is very important to stress that the images which are captured by body scanners are immediately deleted after the passenger has gone through the body scanner,” Adonis told the London Evening Standard.
Adonis was forced to address privacy concerns following reports that the images produced by the scanners broke child pornography laws in the UK. When the scanners were first introduced, it was also speculated that images of famous people would be ripe for abuse as the pictures produced by the devices make genitals “eerily visible” according to journalists who have investigated trials of the technology.
A d v e r t i s e m e n t
However, the Transport Secretary’s assurances were demolished after it was revealed on the BBC’s Jonathan Ross show Friday that Indian actor Shahrukh Khan had passed through a body scan and later had the image of his naked body printed out and circulated by Heathrow security staff.
“I was in London recently going through the airport and these new machines have come up, the body scans. You’ve got to see them. It makes you embarrassed – if you’re not well endowed,” said Khan, referring to how the scans produce clear images of a person’s genitals.
“You walk into the machine and everything – the whole outline of your body – comes out,” he said.
“I was a little scared. Something happens [inside the scans], and I came out. Then I saw these girls – they had these printouts. I looked at them. I thought they were some forms you had to fill. I said ‘give them to me’ – and you could see everything inside. So I autographed them for them,” stated Khan.
Khan’s reference to “girls” with printouts of his naked body scan can only refer to female airport security staff responsible for processing the images produced by the scanners, “professionals” who are supposed to instantly delete the images, according to Lord Adonis.
The revelation that airport security staff are completely abusing any notion of the professionalism promised by authorities by printing out and circulating images of naked body scans should set alarm bells ringing, especially in light of the fact that such images of minors break child pornography laws. British authorities have made it mandatory for travelers to submit to the naked body scanners when asked and have overturned previous rules that prevented under 18’s from passing through the devices.
Within days of the devices being introduced at Heathrow, staff have abused their professionalism and printed out naked scans of a famous actor for their own titillation.
We were promised all along that the body scanners “increased privacy” because they were only accessible to a single staff member who had no personal contact with the passenger taking the scan, in addition to the assurance that the images could not be saved and were instantly deleted. It in fact turns out that airport staff have been saving, printing and circulating naked body scans in complete violation of these supposed guarantees.
Furthermore, we were told that the identity of the person undergoing the virtual strip search would also be kept private. The fact that Heathrow employees must have known that the actor was about to take the body scan in order to print out copies of the image also proves this claim to be a total fallacy.
The abuse of the naked body scan images in this instance is a total violation of every data protection law in the UK. Far from treating the story in a comical manner, Khan should be filing a very expensive lawsuit and preparing for a successful and lucrative outcome.
In the meantime, the revelation that the naked body scanner images are being freely printed out and circulated by airport security staff should prove to be the death knell for plans on behalf of governments worldwide to institute the scanners on a widespread basis.
The Meaning of Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim, illaah and Allah
Question#01 The Meaning of Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful (Reference Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim are two names derived from Ar-Rahmah (the mercy), but Rahman has more meanings that pertain to mercy than Ar-Rahim. There is a statement by Ibn Jarir that indicates that there is a consensus on this meaning. Further, Al-Qurtubi said, "The proof that these names are derived (from Ar-Rahmah), is what At-Tirmidhi recorded - and graded Sahih from `Abdur-Rahman bin `Awf that he heard the Messenger of Allah say,
Allah the Exalted said, 'I Am Ar-Rahman. I created the Raham (womb, i.e. family relations) and derived a name for it from My Name. Hence, whoever keeps it, I will keep ties to him, and whoever severs it, I will sever ties with him.' He then said, "This is a text that indicates the derivation.'' He then said, "The Arabs denied the name Ar-Rahman, because of their ignorance about Allah and His attributes.''
Al-Qurtubi said, "It was said that both Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim have the same meaning, such as the words Nadman and Nadim, as Abu `Ubayd has stated. Abu `Ali Al-Farisi said, `Ar-Rahman, which is exclusively for Allah, is a name that encompasses every type of mercy that Allah has. Ar-Rahim is what effects the believers, for Allah said:
وَكَانَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَحِيماً
And He is ever Rahim (merciful) to the believers.)' (33:43) Also, Ibn `Abbas said - about Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim, `They are two soft names, one of them is softer than the other (meaning it carries more implications of mercy).
Ibn Jarir said; As-Surri bin Yahya At-Tamimi narrated to me that `Uthman bin Zufar related that Al-`Azrami said about Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim, "He is Ar-Rahman with all creation and Ar-Rahim with the believers.'' Hence. Allah's statements
ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ الرَّحْمَـنُ
Then He rose over (Istawa) the Throne (in a manner that suits His majesty), Ar-Rahman (25:59),) and
الرَّحْمَـنُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوَى
Ar-Rahman (Allah) rose over (Istawa) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that suits His majesty).) (20:5)
Allah thus mentioned the Istawa - rising over the Throne - along with His Name Ar-Rahman, to indicate that His mercy encompasses all of His creation. Allah also said:
وَكَانَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَحِيماً
And He is ever Rahim (merciful) to the believers, thus encompassing the believers with His Name Ar-Rahim. They said, "This testifies to the fact that Ar-Rahman carries a broader scope of meanings pertaining to the mercy of Allah with His creation in both lives. Meanwhile, Ar-Rahim is exclusively for the believers.'' Yet, we should mention that there is a supplication that reads
رَحْمنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَرَحِيمَهُمَا
The Rahman and the Rahim of this life and the Hereafter Allah's Name Ar-Rahman is exclusively His. For instance, Allah said:
(Say (O Muhammad ): "Invoke Allah or invoke Ar-Rahman (Allah), by whatever name you invoke Him (it is the same), for to Him belong the Best Names) (17:110),) and:
And ask (O Muhammad) those of Our Messengers whom We sent before you: "Did We ever appoint alihah (gods) to be worshipped besides Ar-Rahman (Most Gracious, Allah)'') (43:45).
Further, when Musaylimah the Liar called himself the Rahman of Yamamah, Allah made him known by the name `Liar' and exposed him. Hence, whenever Musaylimah is mentioned, he is described as `the Liar'. He became an example for lying among the residents of the cities and villages and the residents of the deserts, the bedouins. Therefore, Allah first mentioned His Name - Allah - that is exclusively His and described this Name by Ar-Rahman, which no one else is allowed to use, just as Allah said:
Say (O Muhammad ): "Invoke Allah or invoke Ar-Rahman (Allah), by whatever name you invoke Him (it is the same), for to Him belong the Best Names.'') (17:110)
Only Musaylimah and those who followed his misguided ways described Musaylimah by Ar-Rahman. As for Allah's Name Ar-Rahim, Allah has described others by it. For instance, Allah said:
Verily, there has come unto you a Messenger (Muhammad ) from amongst yourselves (i.e. whom you know well). It grieves him that you should receive any injury or difficulty. He (Muhammad ) is anxious over you (to be rightly guided) for the believers (he is) kind (full of pity), and Rahim (merciful)) (9:128).
Allah has also described some of His creation using some of His other Names. For instance, Allah said:
Verily, We have created man from Nutfah (drops) of mixed semen (sexual discharge of man and woman), in order to try him, so We made him hearer (Sami`) and seer (Basir) (76:2).
In conclusion, there are several of Allah's Names that are used as names for others besides Allah. Further, some of Allah's Names are exclusive for Allah alone, such as Allah, Ar-Rahman, Al-Khaliq (the Creator), Ar-Raziq (the Sustainer), and so forth.
Hence, Allah started the Tasmiyah (meaning, `In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious Most Merciful') with His Name, Allah, and described Himself as Ar-Rahman, (Most Gracious) which is softer and more general than Ar-Rahim. The most honorable Names are mentioned first, just as Allah did here.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ Question#02 The Meaning of "Allah (Reference Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Allah is the Name of the Lord, the Exalted. It is said that Allah is the Greatest Name of Allah, because it is referred to when describing Allah by the various attributes. For instance, Allah said,
He is Allah, beside Whom La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He) the Knower of the unseen and the seen. He is the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. He is Allah, beside Whom La ilaha illa Huwa, the King, the Holy, the One free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His creatures, the Almighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allah! (High is He) above all that they associate as partners with Him. He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To Him belong the Best Names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorify Him. And He is the Almighty, the Wise (59:22-24).
Hence, Allah mentioned several of His Names as Attributes for His Name Allah. Similarly, Allah said:
وَللَّهِ الأَسْمَآءُ الْحُسْنَى فَادْعُوهُ بِهَا
And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call on Him by them) (7:180), and
Say (O Muhammad "Invoke Allah or invoke the Most Gracious (Allah), by whatever name you invoke Him (it is the same), for to Him belong the Best Names.'') (17:110)
Also, the Two Sahihs recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah said:
Allah has ninety-nine Names, one hundred minus one, whoever counts (and preserves) them, will enter Paradise.
These Names were mentioned in a Hadith recorded by At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah, and there are several differences between these two narrations. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ Question# 03 And can someone help me with the meaning of "illaah"? (Reference Qur’an al-Karim) (Few example of word ilah)
And your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God ـ Allah), La ilaha illa Huwa (there is none who has the right to be worshipped but He), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
In this Ayah, Allah mentions that He is the only deity, and that He has no partners or equals. He is Allah, the One and Only, the Sustainer, and there is no deity worthy of worship except Him. He is the Most Gracious ـ Ar-Rahman, the Most Merciful ـ Ar-Rahim.
Say: "What thing is the most great in witness'' Say: "Allah is Witness between you and I; this Qur'an has been revealed to me that I may therewith warn you and whomsoever it may reach. Can you verily bear witness that besides Allah there are other gods'' Say "I bear no (such) witness!'' Say: "Only He is God, alone, and truly I am innocent of what you join in worship with Him.''
No son (or offspring) did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with Him. (If there had been many gods), then each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have tried to overcome others! Glorified be Allah above all that they attribute to Him! All-Knower of the unseen and the seen! Exalted be He over all that they associate as partners to Him!
Hillary to China: Vote for Iran sanctions, or face Gulf conflagration and Oil cutoff
Webster G. Tarpley Infowars.com February 10, 2010
For her Jan. 29 speech at the Ecole Militaire in Paris, Mrs. Clinton was evidently wearing that stylish new French perfume from the House of Sarkozy called Chantage – meaning blackmail. Mrs. Clinton gloats because she thinks she has the Chinese leadership in a bind. As she stated, she knows that China increasingly depends on oil from the Gulf. She demanded that China vote for crippling sanctions against Iran in the UN Security Council this month, while Sarkozy — the craziest of all western leaders against Iran — controls the presidency of that body. For China, approving crippling sanctions against Iran means in all probability the loss of 10% to 12% of its oil imports, the aborting of some $80 billion in development projects by Beijing in Iran, the sacrifice of hundreds of billions of dollars worth of oil which the Chinese have locked in via futures contracts, and, above all, a farewell to the best chance of getting a secure overland oil pipeline far away from the US-UK fleets — the pipeline from Iran via Pakistan into China.
If the Chinese fail to captitulate on this point, Mrs. Clinton darkly hinted, the US would no longer restrain the Israelis, who might then launch their long-threatened air attack on Iran, which the US has emphatically vetoed over the past two years. At that point, the Iranians would try to interdict Gulf maritime traffic and close the strait of Hormuz, meaning that about a third of China’s oil could be cut off. (The other 20% comes from Saudi Arabia.)
The US-UK elite is in a state of collective hysteria about the growth of Chinese economic power. China is now the largest exporter in the world, and officially about to become the second largest economy, passing Japan to challenge the US.
The US is way behind China in fast rail, and will soon fall behind in modern nuclear energy production. China is clearly aiming to put astronauts on the moon, but the Obama-Orszag NASA budget makes clear that the US is going nowhere when it comes to manned space flight. If US elites really want to keep pace, they should put aside their feckless attempts to contain China by subversion, economic warfare, and fomenting conflicts in the Guif and on the India-China border. Match the Chinese programs in nuclear reactors, fast rail, and manned space flight, or prepare for the status of has-been.
But for right now, the Iran attack scenario, which had been pushed to the back burner by the US National Intelligence Estimate of December 2007 — which stated that there was no Iranian nuclear weapons program — is once again operational, this time as a means at striking at China’s oil supply.
Loin des « imbéciles » qui croient aux réseaux pédocriminels et des « génies » qui en nient l’existence, Catherine Favre raconte la vie d’un enfant prostitué en Suisse. Micha a 16 ans et gagne 700 euros la nuit. Il donne un pourcentage aux barmen entremetteurs et des bakchichs aux employés des hôtels pour avoir la paix. Il est régulièrement victime de blessures physiques nécessitant l’intervention du service des Urgences et se drogue à la cocaïne pour supporter les plus vicieux.
La prostitution n’est pas illégale, dés à partir de la majorité sexuelle, qui est de 16 ans en Suisse, comme à peu près partout en Europe. Tant que le jeune où ses parents ne portent pas plainte, la police ne peut rien faire, selon Olivier Guéniat, chef de la Sûreté du canton de Neuchâtel. Si la police établit qu’un adulte apparaît comme un «mécène» auprès d’un mineur, et que les parents ne la sollicitent pas officiellement, elle ne pourrait pas intervenir !
Cet article est historique, dans la mesure où pour la première fois depuis l’exposition de l’affaire Zandvoort, un journal officiel révèle une réalité qui est identique dans tous les pays prospères, mais se maintient par manque de volonté politique d’y apporter une solution. Merci Catherine Favre.
Tu t'es fait avoir, petit gars. Téléphone à ta mère. Tu ne la reverras pas pendant 4 ans et ton père ne te donnera pas les moyens de lui téléphoner de Nouméa. N'attends pas d'humanité de gens qui se droguent, parce que la drogue dessèche la cervelle et les émotions. Considères-les comme des robots, qui ressemblent à des humains, mais qui ne sont que des machines. Vois-les comme des lessiveuses. On pousse sur un bouton et ça blanchit n'importe quoi ; on pousse sur un autre bouton et ça arrête de faire du bruit, mais n'attends pas à ce qu'une lessiveuse te paye un billet d'avion pour revoir ta mère, même si tu la supplies. Si ta mère n'est pas venu te voir quand tu étais chez ta tante, c'est parce que ta tante n'a jamais voulu lui dire quand tu étais là. C'est la vérité. Ta mère pleure tous les jours d'être séparée de toi et je suis bien placée pour le savoir, parce qu'elle me téléphone tous les jours.
La carrière du Fournisseur de la Cour débuta à Arcachon, dans les années 70. Deux adolescents de 17 ans se prostituaient pour se payer de la drogue. L'un décéda d'une overdose. L'autre monta pour découvrir le Gai Paris, puis le Gai Lyon. Il épousa une prostituée, qui avec sa meilleure amie, avait monté un réseau de « call-girls de luxe ».
Ils vécurent heureux du commerce de leurs corps, derrière une façade d'artisans grivois. Leurs meilleurs clients étaient des industriels de province et des avocats. Il vendit tous les beaux meubles de son épouse sans son accord. Un événement inconnu conduisit la meilleure amie en prison. Il prit la poudre d'escampette, dans une camionnette, avec de quoi assouvir sa toxicomanie.
Il se donnait à Bordeaux une image de troubadour, fabriquant des bijoux de fantaisie qu'il vendait dans des marchés de rue. Il rencontra Patricia, une oie blanche qui gobait n'importe quel mensonge, au point où elle l'épousa, sans imaginer un passé pavé de faits constitutifs de proxénétisme et de trafic de drogue. Il accédait à une clientèle bourgeoise, dont des experts judiciaires friands de drogues. Il est ainsi devenu « Fournisseur de la Cour » de Bordeaux. La première épouse, depuis secrétaire d'un vétérinaire, avertit la deuxième : « il ne te laissera rien ». Il introduira en effet une demande en divorce traditionnelle dans ce milieu-là, par un tabassage en règle de sa femme, après l'avoir dépossédée de son héritage.
La Justice de Bordeaux désigna pour experts judiciaires, ceux que le père fournissait en drogue. Ils ne lui ont rien laissé. Ils l'ont même fait incarcérer, retirer l'autorité parentale et interdire tout contact avec son fils durant six ans. Le troubadour qui vivait dans une camionnette avant son mariage, a acquis deux magasins après son divorce. Tout s'achète avec la drogue, y compris la disparition des pièces d'un dossier pénal et la constitution d'un dossier administratif, pour accabler la victime de troubles psychiatriques.
Le Fournisseur de la Cour finit par épouser une greffière, voyant l'occasion de s'envoler à Nouméa, au frais du contribuable. Le jeune homme, actuellement âgé de 16 ans, demanda à sa mère d'introduire la demande pour l'autoriser à rester en métropole. Il voulait retourner dans son pensionnat, passer les W/E chez sa tante et renouer les contacts avec sa mère, qui vit dans un studio trop petit pour deux. La Juge Claire Chabrol fut désignée pour en décider dans l'urgence et ordonna une enquête sociale.
Le jeune a découvert les manœuvres éhontées de sa tante pour empêcher ses contacts avec sa mère. Il fut pris d'une soudaine répulsion à l'idée de passer ses W/E chez elle, et d'une répulsion pour la France, manifestement menacé d'institution, s'il voulait rester en métropole. Il a été trompé. Il aurait pu être mis en famille d'accueil le W/E, le temps de renouer les contacts avec sa mère comme le veut l'usage, et qu'elle trouve un appartement assez grand pour deux.
Le Fournisseur de la Cour et la greffière ont montré l'image d'une famille recomposée harmonieuse. Le père louait depuis trois mois un magasin dans une ville morte. Il a assuré qu'il engagerait une vendeuse et reviendrait deux fois l'an. Le jeune pourrait ainsi revoir sa mère deux fois plus souvent qu'il ne l'avait préalablement permis. Je croirai au miracle de l'amour, si la mairie voit la couleur de son prochain loyer.
La juge Chabrol a entendu le jeune homme. Il lui a dit qu'il voulait partir, mais qu'il avait peur de l'éloignement. La juge a ensuite entendu une mère brisée, incapable de comprendre autant de décisions sauce cocaïne, qui lui ont interdit tout contacte avec son fils durant six ans. Elle lui apporta une analyse de laboratoire assurant que son fils avait contracté une maladie vénérienne à l'âge de 7 ans, d'où une preuve d'abus sexuels qui disparaît systématiquement de tous les greffes des tribunaux. La juge n'a pas dit un mot. Le jugement arrivera quand l'avion aura décollé.

"When the 'War on Terror' becomes genocide" by J.B.Gerald
February 9, 2010
The "Convention for the Punishment and Prevention of the Crime of Genocide" stresses the prevention of genocide more than prescribing its exact manner of punishment. Genocide does not have to be committed for the Convention to have effect. By defining "genocide" it seeks to avert agendas which will confirm the crime. Physical manifestations of genocide are preceded by psychological preparation and the resulting psychological damage to entire victim groups. There is no way not to apply this awareness to current pressures on Islamic communities in North America, so this is an obvious and rather late notation of a genocide warning for Islamic peoples in the U.S. (see also Canada), late, in that one could sense the program over twenty years ago without knowing the scope of its intentions. The threat of whole or partial destruction of this religious group is exacerbated by Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people, bombing of civilian Lebanon, invasion of Gaza, which placed essentially Islamic civilian populations without human value, in a manner politically acceptable to U.S. and Canadian governments.
The heavy media campaign and foreign policy agenda targeting Muslim fundamentalism opened with the 1988 publication of Salmon Rushdie's Satanic Verses. The book became a global event as a bestseller. It teased portions of Islam with enough disrespect to provoke extreme reactions. Used tactically, it enlisted the West's entire intellectual media establishments in defense of Rushdie's freedom of expression and his life. It was as though social engineers had found a flaw line to sever the common ground of reason which allowed populations of religious difference to coexist. "Western Civilization's" attack on Islamic fundamentalism extended to the religion as a whole. The 1990-91 Gulf War, the initial crime in what has become a genocide of the Iraqi people, followed, and it is difficult to understand the Viking-Penguin campaign for Satanic Verses apart from its uses as a psy-war program preparing a global public for massive bombings of Muslim civilians. The difficulty that remains is, the program is no longer cultural warfare or specific wars for corporate profit, but relentlessly proceeds with a process that historically leads to attempted genocide of the group. It would be a strange bent of thinking to expect the destruction of Muslim peoples in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other countries slated for takeover by U.S. expansionism, not to devolve on North American Muslims as well. Because there is evidence of further US.expansion (Yemen, Sudan, Iran, Somalia) exclusively against Muslim peoples, there is no way to avoid placing a genocide warning for Islamic peoples in the United States. Some current notes are symptomatic of where we all find ourselves in 2010:
* On February 3rd, 2010, in a New York City Court, a Muslim woman doctor was convicted of two attempted murders and armed assault. There were no victims, no wounded except for the woman doctor who was shot by U.S. forces while she was held in detention under armed guard. There was no valid evidence of the bullets she was said to have fired from a rifle in a small room. Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, an MIT graduate and mother of three believes 2 of her children dead after her disappearance for five years and detention by Pakistani and U.S officials (see enforced disappearances). Amid reasonable doubt, the obvious injustices of the verdict suggest a New York City jury pool terrorized and propagandized by the "war on terror". U.S. military credibility remains problematic. In the Omar Khadr case (see previous) the prisoner may have been charged to cover a war crime against him by the aggressor forces. During a U.S. forces action in Afghanistan, Canadian Omar Khadr, was shot in the back while severely wounded, then tortured, and subsequently charged with murder. Three Muslim detainees at Guantanamo, intially declared "suicides" were apparently executed in torture sessions. Etc. The outrage to justice in each case, intentionally avoided by government, becomes a psychological warfare threat against all people.

* Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah was reported "gunned down after firing on officers as the FBI raided a Dearborn warehouse" ("FBI kills leader of radical Muslims; 12 charged," Ben Schmitt, Niraj Warikoo, Robin Erb, Oct. 26, 2009, Pan-African News Wire), while the autopsy reveals he was shot in the back and genitals, receiving 20 to 21 gunshots in all. The chief medical examiner told reporters his investigator found the body handcuffed. There is possible evidence of wounding by a dog. The imam's mosque hosted mostly American converts to Islam; several news stories mention a community affinity with Imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, deeply religious and provably persecuted, currently held in solitary confinement at a maximum security facility in Colorado. Partial sources: "Dearborn police chief wanted slain imam's autopsy reports withheld," Cecil Angel, Feb 5, 2010, Detroit Free Press; "Detroit Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah Killed by FBI Agents in Dearborn ," Ben Schmitt, Niraj Warikoo, Robin Erb, Oct 29, 2009, Pan-African News Wire; Autopsy: "Detroit imam shot 20 times in FBI raid," Associated Press, Feb. 1, 2010,The Baltimore Sun.
* There is no retraction of a government policy to grossly abuse Muslim suspects and prisoners within the U.S..Night`s Lantern pages concerned with mistreatment of some of the Muslims held prisoner by the U.S. from 2004-2008 can be found at: "political prisoners: detention of muslims and their defenders 2004 ~ 2005 ~ 2006 ~ 2007 ~ 2008". A common theme to many of the cases is the attempt to destroy the detainee's self-respect and reason.
* In Canada the "War on Terror" initially provoked police raids on Muslim families, targeting and entrapment of the young, an illegal application of Canadian Security Certificates against five Muslim men without adequate evidence, and Canadian officials breaking Canadian and international law to comply with U.S. policies. Basic human rights of some Muslim Canadians had to be defended by the Supreme Court. Government policy was bent to support criminal actions of Israel during flagrant violations of international law. See genocide warning.
* Religion News Service reports that although there is little prejudice against other religious minorities in the U.S., nearly half of Americans admit to having negative feelings about Islam ("Nearly Half of Americans Admit to Anti-Muslim Bias," Adelle M. Banks, Jan. 25,2010).
* The laws against torture were broken by the Bush administration (see law archives), and contravene the U.S. military code of justice and field manual. Overt exception to its own and humanity's laws were made by the Bush administration specifically to deal with Muslims. Previously the torture taught by the School of the Americas and practiced by U.S. client governments in Central and South America was with U.S. participation, covert. The public humiliation of Muslim suspects, by torture, by lack of rights, by enforced helplessness, by lack of redress, becomes a destruction of the individuals but also of their families. Because U.S. courts have not stopped it, and seem helpless to bring under law U.S. secret detention and torture sites throughout the world, a necessary portion of law safeguarding humanity is not functioning. U.S. society proceeds under law but having sacrificed a group of Muslims, denied common humanity by torture. Again and again the victims are found to be innocent of any crime. Conclusion: they were allowed to be tortured because of their faith. Where does this process once it has started, end ?
* Wars against the Muslim countries of Iraq and Afghanistan are proving to be genocide in their effects on the people. Despite increasing suppression of news concerning the effects of depleted uranium the destruction of civilian populations and cultures are terrible enough to show "intention" by the aggressors, and justify prosecution of administration officials pursuing either war. The Convention on Genocide has adequate legal standing within the U.S. for the law to be applied. It is not being applied.
* Muslim charities in the US. have been targeted and largely closed. For an example see the case of Dr. Rafil Dhafir a humanitarian Muslim doctor who is in prison for showing compassion to Muslims.
* There is a pattern of discrimination against Islam which can't be explained by the supposed faith of those accused in the World Trade Center destruction. Many people understand the September 11th catastrophe as a 'false flag' operation. While there aren't attempts to physically harm entire Muslim communities there is evidence of a campaign to psychologically imbalance, terrorize and impair and control the functioning of an entire religious group. There's evidence of extreme degradation and humiliation of Muslim detainees within the U.S.. The very high profile cases of torture at Guantanamo, at Baghram, at secret facilities, with token prosecution of the torturers and without redress for the victims, has as effect a public dehumanization of Muslim peoples. Torture is a profound symptom of dehumanization and if allowed, puts others of the victim group at risk. Then it puts us all at risk. Historically this inevitably leads to greater violations of human rights. The U.S. government was able to launch criminal wars of aggression against civilian populations and infrastructures of Afghanistan and Iraq. "Profiled" and threatened Islamic peoples in North America are under pressure to show their loyalty to the aggressors, and lack the freedom to protest crimes against foreign Muslim populations, or defend themselves against the outrageous. Islamic communities are psychologically at the mercy of the U.S. government's agenda. While the physical appearance of genocide is currently avoided within North America, there's a clear threat against an entire group to assure cooperation with criminal foreign policies. The false equation of Islamic faith with terrorism (and this rises from the guilt of killing hundreds of thousands of Islamic civilians), the clarity of injustices without accountability or redress, the relentlessness of a propaganda which denies human rights to its victims, are establishing a pattern which history recognizes as a crime.
With Obama’s support, most of the developed world has accepted plans for government-approved online activity and Pentagon-monitored internet traffic. The U.S. and UK are facilitating the hijacking of what has, until now, been a highly-democratic Internet. Overall, it has been a technological God-send for bringing together communication and strongly expressing thought outside of the mainstream information available on television and in print.
A d v e r t i s e m e n t
Now, people are being forced onto the corporate-dominated Internet2– once again, in the name of “security.” (Internet) Freedom sacrificed at the same false alter of (Internet) Security. Independent blogs, news sites and online businesses will all be financially disadvantaged by access fees not demanded of dominant entities. What is today outside the ‘norm’ but well within free speech will tomorrow be evaluated by politically-correct criteria that will be used to identify sites to block and users to deny access.
An inquisitive message has arrived from Moscow on Monday. As per official release of the "Kremlin mob," the so called "supreme court" of Russia, it gives a formal recognition to the Caucasus Emirate as an "international terrorist organization."
Besides the recognition in itself, the "supreme court" deemed it important to "outlaw" the Caucasus Emirate.
The Russian sources have informed that the session of the "supreme court" occurred behind closed doors. During the process, the representatives of the varied Kremlin "gangs" were given stage time to voice their concerns. Amongst these were the FSB, MIA, Department of Justice and Prosecutor-General's Office.
None of the representatives of the Caucasus Emirate were present at "court", indicated Moscow sources.
The report further indicates that the "court's" simultaneous decision to recognize and prohibit the Caucasus Emirate, can be appealed within the next 10 days.
Russian mass media has recalled that the Caucasus Emirate was proclaimed in the fall of 2007 by Emir Dokka Umarov.
Russia's recognition and prohibition of the Caucasus Emirate can be attributed to the absurd propaganda practices to generate "criminal cases" as a retaliation for the destruction of military convoys of the occupant's forces. However this subsequent ludicrousness from Kremlin, has a reasonable explanation.
Moscow's present acknowledgement of the Caucasus Emirate is the second evident sign that Kremlin felt realness and tangibility of the Islamic state of the Caucasian Muslims. It came after two years of attempts to ignore, ridicule and silence the "virtual fantasies" of the militants.
The first apparent sign was the formation of the "North-Caucasus district" which fully coincided with the borders of the Caucasus Emirate, defined by Dokku Umarov as early as fall 2007. The leader of Kremlin essentially duplicated the decree of Dokku Umarov.
As per assessment of former diplomat, expert on the issues of the Caucasus, Doctor of the French Institute for Higher studies in Social Science, Georgi Mamulia, the decree of Russia's leader Medvedev, in regards to the creation of the "North-Caucasus District" demonstrates that "Kremlin is having tougher and tougher of a time in controlling that stormy region."
According to Mamulia, Moscow's decision, "without a doubt indicates the panic, that in the present time exists in Kremlin in relation to the problems of the North Caucasus."
Even for the most notorious skeptics and lovers of muddying the waters, it is obvious today the latest actions and decisions of Moscow are dictated by the desire to somehow resist the rapidly developing process of crystallizing the new "Caucasus format", which leaves no room for the infidels of Russia and their local puppets.
The importance of tawheed by Shaikh Muhammad bin Jameel Zainoo
Author: Shaikh Muhammad bin Jameel Zainoo
1) Verily, Allaah has created the world and everything in it in order to worship Him alone. He sent the Messenger to call the people to Tawheed and the Noble Qur'aan is concerned with the aqeedah of tawheed in most of its chapters, and it explains the harm of shirk for the individual and the society. Shirk is the reason for destruction in this life and the reason for eternal destruction in the Fire of the Hereafter.
2) Verily, all the Messengers began their call with Tawheed, which they were commanded by Allaah to convey it to the people. He, the Most High, said:
We have not sent before you from the Messengers, except We inspired to him that He is the only One worthy of worship, so worship Him. [21:25]
The Messenger of Allaah stayed in Makkah for thirteen years while he called his people to the Tawheed of Allaah and he called to Him alone without associating anything with Him. It was regarding this issue that Allaah revealed the following verse to His Noble Messenger:
Say: Verily I call to my Lord and I do not ascribe any partners to Him at all. [72:20]
The Noble Messenger brought up his followers upon Tawheed from the time of childhood and he said to the son of his uncle, his cousin 'Abdullaah ibn 'Abbaas: "When you ask, then ask Allaah, and when you seek help, then seek help from Allaah." [Hasan Saheeh, Tirmidhi]. This Tawheed is in reality the religion of Islaam, which is built upon it, and anything other than it is not accepted by Allaah.
3) Verily, the Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) taught his Companions to begin their call to the people with tawheed, so he said to Mu'aadh ibn Jabal, when he (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) sent him to Yemen: "So let the first thing you call them to, be the testification that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah." And in another narration: "...that they worship Allaah alone." [Bukhari and Muslim]
4) Tawheed is embodied in the testification that "None has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah." Its meaning is that there is no one who is worthy of deserving worship except Allaah, and there is no worship except that which the Messenger of Allaah came with. This allows an unbeliever to enter into Islaam, since it is the key to Paradise, and the one who testifies to it and believes it enters into Paradise as long as he does not invalidate it by shirk or a word of disbelief.
5) The disbelieving Quraish offered the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) kingship, wealth and wives and other than that from the pleasures of this life in exchange for him abandon the call to tawheed, and abandon the attacks against the idols. However, he did not desire that from them, rather lie continued his call and endured the onslaught along with his Companions, until the call to tawliced was victorious after thirteen years, after which Makkah was conquered and the idols were destroyed. The Messenger of Allaah # recited
Truth has come and falsehood has vanished, surely falsehood is ever bound to vanish. [17:81]
6) Tawheed is the preoccupation of a Muslim in his life, so he begins his life with Tawheed and he ends his life with Tawheed. His task in life is to establish Tawheed and the call to Tawheed, since Tawheed unifies the believers and gathers them upon the statement of Tawheed.
So we ask Allaah to make the statement of Tawheed (Laa ilaaha lila Allaah) our last words in this world and we ask Him to gather the Muslims upon the statement of Tawheed.

Four weeks after earthquake Haiti: hunger sparks growing protests
By Bill Van Auken
February 9, 2010
On Sunday, Haiti saw one of its largest protests since the January 12 earthquake, as four weeks after the disaster, frustration with continuing hunger and homelessness mount.
A scene of the devastation in Haiti shortly after the earthquake
Thousands of demonstrators, most of them women, marched through the streets of Petionville, a Port-au-Prince suburb, denouncing the local mayor,Lydie Parent, for hoarding food for resale and not distributing it to the hungry.
A significant amount of food aid has been channeled into Haiti’s informal markets, sold at elevated prices and clearly yielding a profit for some officials who are in charge of its distribution.
Congregating in front of the local municipal building, the demonstrators chanted "if the police shoot at us, we will burn everything," Reuters reported.
"I am hungry, I am dying of hunger," one of the marchers told the news agency. "Lydie Parent keeps the rice and doesn’t give us anything. They never go distribute where we live."
Petionville, up the mountain from the capital, has traditionally been the preserve of Haiti’s economic elite. Shanty towns sprung up around the walled mansions of the country’s businessmen and politicians, however. Since January 12, one of the principal watering holes of the well-heeled, the Petionville Club, has been transformed into the capital’s biggest homeless encampment, where more than 40,000 quake victims have sought refuge on the club’s nine-hole golf course.
Sent in to police this yawning social divide are 360 US combat troops from the 82nd Airborne Division, who have set up camp around the club’s swimming pool and restaurant.
Last Friday, former US President Bill Clinton was also met by protests upon his return to Haiti. Hundreds gathered outside the judicial police headquarters, the makeshift headquarters of the Haitian government, during Clinton’s visit there with the country’s President Réne Préval.
"Our children are burning in the sun. We have a right to tents. We have a right to shelter," one of the protesters, Mentor Natacha, 30, a mother of two, told Agence France Presse.
Hundreds of others demonstrated outside the US embassy.
Clinton, who was named the United Nations special envoy to Haiti last May, was forced to acknowledge the failure of sufficient aid to reach the majority of the Haitian people nearly a month after the earthquake. "I’m sorry it’s taken this long," he said. "I’m trying to get to what the bottlenecks are."
Clinton also visited the Gheskio medical clinic in Port-au-Prince, announcing the donation of various supplies by his foundation. However, the clinic’s director, Jean William Pape, told AFP that the facility is overwhelmed and has not received adequate aid.
Censored31: "Of course not! What did you expect from that war criminal?"
"It has been huge on us because in addition to providing the care to our HIV/AIDS patients, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases, we have to take care of around 6,000 refugees," said Pape. "We don’t have enough supplies. We don’t have tents for them and the rainy season is coming and we live in a flood area."
According to press reports, barely 10,000 tents of the 200,000 requested by the Haitian government have arrived in the country. Clinton said that another 27,000 would come in the next week, still grossly inadequate to meet the massive need.
The ex-US president felt compelled to deny that he had been sent in as a de facto colonial governor of the devastated Caribbean nation. "What I don’t want to be is the governor of Haiti," said Clinton. "I want to build the capacity of the country to chart its own course. They can trust me not to be a neocolonialist, I’m too old."
Whatever Clinton’s personal role, his attempt at self-deprecating humor cannot hide the fact that Washington is playing precisely the role of a neocolonial power in Haiti. Within hours of the earthquake, the Pentagon launched an operation that has thus far seen the deployment of some 16,000 troops and the assumption of US military control over the country’s airports and port facilities. US naval warships and Coast Guard vessels have imposed a blockade off Haiti’s shores, ensuring that any of the earthquake’s victims seeking to escape to the US will be swiftly repatriated.
Colonel Gregory Kane, the operations officer for US Task Force Haiti, said that US troops would remain in Haiti as long as necessary. "We are in Haiti as long as needed and are welcomed by the government of Haiti," he said.
Aid groups and government officials in Europe and Latin America have sharply questioned the US militarization of the response to the Haitian disaster. Many blame Washington’s making the deployment of US troops—rather than the provision of desperately needed aid—the top priority in the first critical days following the earthquake for increasing the death toll.
The militarization of aid and obsession with security remain clearly in evidence nearly a month after the earthquake. This was reflected in a report by the AFP on food distributions over the weekend. "Surrounded by dozens of heavily-armed US soldiers, old ladies and even young men struggled under the burning tropical sun to carry away sacks of rice," the news agency reported. "In another part of the city a detachment of around a dozen Argentine troops, some enclosed in an armored personnel carrier equipped with a turret gun, escorted a small flat-bed truck laden with food to its destination."
For its part, the Haitian government has appeared largely powerless and has grown increasingly unpopular with the Haitian people. Graffiti reading "Down with Préval," the Haitian president, has begun appearing with increasing frequency on walls in the capital.
President Préval, who has been virtually unseen by the population since the quake hit, announced over the weekend, while meeting with officials from the neighboring Dominican Republic, that the estimate of the number of people killed in the earthquake has risen to a quarter of a million, while 250,000 homes have been destroyed and more than a million people are facing an urgent need for temporary shelter with the rainy season fast approaching.
Speaking with the media on Saturday, he urged the Haitian population to remain calm. "We understand the difficulties faced by the people who sleep outside, homeless, we understand the frustration about food and water distribution being difficult," he said. "But it is in discipline, in solidarity, in patience that we will be able to solve the problems that confront us."
The real class position of the Haitian regime was evident in an interview given by the country’s Prime Minister to the Colombian daily País. "The ones who lost the most in Haiti on January 12 weren’t the poor, it was what was left of the middle class," he said. "Because the poor didn’t have houses before, and they still don’t have houses. The middle class, which had stayed in Haiti, which had made some effort to build a house, a small business, lost everything."
The fact that the poor "didn’t have houses" has been cited by relief organizations as a significant factor in the present crisis, in that they have no means of rebuilding and nowhere to go. According to the Catholic relief group Caritas International, 70 percent of those displaced by the earthquake in the capital did not own their own homes before the disaster struck.
More than half a million of these people have left Port-au-Prince, with the encouragement of the government, to return to rural areas from which many of the capital’s poorer layers had migrated and where they still have relatives.
The reason that people had migrated to the capital in the first place, however, was that they could not sustain themselves through agriculture. Now these areas have seen a massive influx of hungry people for which there is little or no food. Relief supplies have yet to arrive in the rural areas, and there is growing fear that farmers will begin using their seed supplies for food, endangering next year’s harvest and leaving even greater hunger.
Meanwhile, the Miami Herald reported Saturday that there is a new crisis with the emergency medical flights that bring severely injured Haitian children to US hospitals for treatment, and that once again it is costing lives.
Last month, the military suspended the flights after Florida Governor Charlie Crist sent a letter to the Obama administration questioning whether the federal government would assume responsibility for the costs being incurred at the state’s hospitals, where most of the young Haitian victims had been brought.
After a growing public outcry over the suspension, the Obama administration agreed to foot the bill through the US Department of Health and Human Services.
But now, the department has imposed such stringent eligibility requirements for the medical flights that few patients qualify, and those who don’t are dying in Haiti.
"They want paperwork. We don’t have paperwork," Miami Children’s Hospital Dr. William Muinos, who heads the pediatric unit of a field hospital in Port-au-Prince told the Herald. "They don’t have passports. They don’t have IDs. They don’t have homes. They don’t have anything."
The paper cited the case of a 15-year-old girl, Whitney Constant, who was told she would be taken to Florida for treatment, but then was stopped by the government requirements. Three days after she was to have been flown out, she contracted gangrene, forcing doctors to amputate the lower half of one leg and the foot of the other.
Another 14-year-old child died of a pulmonary embolism last Tuesday. Doctors said she would have survived had she been evacuated. "She was told she would leave," said Dr. Muinos. "Within 24 hours, that promise was denied."
"The Department of Health and Human Services lifted the embargo on flights but made the criteria so strict that you can’t get anybody in," said Elizabeth Grieg, director of the field hospital. She told the Herald that since the flights resumed only nine of the hospitals’ patients have been accepted, six of whom had been scheduled to go out before the military suspended them last month.
More Blackwater terrorist contractors than cops in Pakistan's capital
United Press International
February 9, 2010
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Feb. 8 (UPI) -- There are more private security contractors from Xe, formerly Blackwater, operating in Islamabad than capital police, a religious leader said.
Maulana Fazal-ur-Rahman, the leader of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, a Deobandi political party in Pakistan, said there were as many as 9,000 Xe contractors working in Islamabad, compared with just 7,000 capital police, Pakistan's News International reports.
The Pakistani Taliban last week said attacks in the Lower Dir District of Pakistan's North-West Frontier province killed U.S. personnel, claiming the attack was an act of revenge against Xe contractors operating in the region.
Richard Holbrooke, the U.S. special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, confirmed the deaths were U.S. military personnel but described the Taliban claims as propaganda.
Their deaths are the first known U.S. military fatalities in Pakistan.
Fazal blamed foreign contractors for instability in the country, saying they undermined an already weak democratic government. He equated Xe contractors with the insurgent Taliban.
Washington linked stability in Pakistan to the success of its counterinsurgency battle in neighboring Afghanistan, encouraging Islamabad to step up domestic security measures. Pakistan in October launched its own offensive in the volatile tribal regions near the Afghan border.
Fazal during a weekend meeting with Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari said an immediate halt to military activity in the tribal areas would bring normalcy to the region.

Sweden's military says the gunman who killed two Swedish officers and their local interpreter in northern Afghanistan over the weekend was wearing a police uniform.
The military says the shooter opened fire as a Swedish patrol visited a police station near the village of Gurgi Tappeh, about 25 miles (40 kilometers) west of the Swedish base in Mazar-e-Sharif. Military spokesman Gustaf Wallerfeldt said Monday it's still unclear whether the gunman was a police officer or an impostor dressed in a police uniform. The gunman was shot and killed in the ensuing shootout. The Swedish officers were identified as 28-year-old Capt. Johan Palmlov and 31-year-old Lt. Gunnar Andersson, both from Stockholm. Another Swedish soldier was lightly wounded in the attack.
The Islamic administration of Al-Shabaab that controls Somalia’s southern regions of Jubba has on Sunday declared holy war on Kenya over reports that Nairobi is training Somali troops.
Sheikh Hussen Abdi Gedi, Al-Shabaab’s second in command in the southern port city of Kismayo said his group has received reports of planned offensives from the Kenyan side, urging the regions’ residents to prepare for holy war.
“Kenya has prepared troops that comprise of Kenyans and Somalis, who are trained to attack and take over the regions. They are planning to attack us on the land, sea and air. We are urging people to be ready and defend our land,” he told Al-Shabaab’s Andalus radio on Sunday.
His sentiments come as Kismayo, the lucrative southern Somali port city that fuels insurgent activities across the war-torn country, witnesses a low flying military planes which raised high tension.
The border between the two countries has also seen the enormous presence of Kenyan troops, who are patrolling with the battle wagons.
It is the first time that the rebel group has declared jihad against Kenya since capturing the bordering region.
However, Kenya denied reports of its involvement in the training of Somali soldiers, saying it has nothing to do with the Somali issues.
Sources quoted by Garowe Online said Nairobi trained in its soil some 2,500 troops, who are ready to join the Somali government’s offensive against Al Shabaab rebels.
An American soldier ‘waterboarded his 4 year daughter’
A soldier waterboarded his four-year-old daughter because she was unable to recite her alphabet. Joshua Tabor admitted to police he had used the CIA torture technique because he was so angry. As his daughter ’squirmed’ to get away, Tabor said he submerged her face three or four times until the water was lapping around her forehead and jawline. Tabor, 27, who had won custody of his daughter only four weeks earlier, admitted choosing the punishment because the girl was terrified of water. The practice of waterboarding was used by the CIA to break Al Qaeda suspects at Guantanamo Bay. Detainees had water poured over their face until they feared they would drown. President Barack Obama has since outlawed the practice.
Tabor, a soldier at the Lewis-McChord base in Tacoma, Washington, was arrested after being seen walking around his neighbourhood wearing a Kevlar military helmet and threatening to break windows. Police discovered the alleged waterboarding when they went to his home in the Tacoma suburb of Yelm and spoke to his girlfriend. She told them about the alleged torture and the terrified girl was found hiding in a closet, with bruising on her back and scratch marks on her neck and throat. Asked how she got the bruises, the girl is said to have replied: ‘Daddy did it.’ During a police interview Tabor allegedly admitted grabbing his daughter, placing her on the kitchen counter and submerging her face into a bowl of water. Sergeant Rob Carlson said the punishment was carried out because the girl would not recite the alphabet. Police have not revealed Tabor’s military service, but his base is home to units that have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. The girl has been taken into care.

Very timely, swift and coordinated avalanche killing 17 Indian terrorists.
SRINAGAR, India – A massive avalanche plowed into an Indian army training center at a ski resort town in Indian-controlled Kashmir on Monday, killing 17 soldiers and critically injuring 17 others.
The avalanche slammed into the army's High Altitude Warfare School at about 11 a.m. and swept away the soldiers during a training session, said army spokesman Col. Vineet Sood. It was the worst avalanche in the area in many years, he said.
Seventeen bodies were found and 53 troops were rescued about six hours after the speeding mass of snow and ice struck the center high on a Himalayan slope, senior police officer Qayoom Manhas told The Associated Press. Many more are still missing.
Manhas said of those rescued, 17 needed emergency medical care.
About 70 troops were taking a skiing test when the avalanche came crashing down, he said.
Rescue efforts involving army, police and civilian officials were "very timely, swift and coordinated," Manhas said.
The accident occurred near Gulmarg, a ski resort about 30 miles (50 kilometers) northwest of Srinagar, the main city in Indian Kashmir, said Sood.
About 400 people, including 30 civilian workers, were at the training center, but the avalanche hit only one portion of the facility.
Incessant snow and rain complicated rescue operations.
G.M. Dar, a tourist official in the area, told the AP about 400 tourists skiing in Gulmarg were safe.
Frequent rain and heavy snowfall often trigger avalanches and landslides in Kashmir, blocking roads and cutting off tourist resorts like Gulmarg. Gulmarg is also close to the Line of Control, a highly militarized cease-fire line dividing the Himalayan region of Kashmir between India and Pakistan.
The claim over Kashmir has caused two wars between the archrivals since they became independent from Britain in 1947. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are posted along either side of the Line of Control.
Last year in April, an avalanche hit an Indian army post in a separate region close to the de-facto border with Pakistan, killing seven soldiers and injuring at least eight others.
Al-shabab presents TFG officer, weapon in Mogadishu
Posted: 2/8/2010 3:29:00 PM
MOGADISHU (Sh. M. Network) – Harakat Al-shabab mujahideen officials have Monday displayed an officer from the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and more weapons in the Somali capital Mogadishu.
Sheik Ali Mohamud Rage (Sh. Ali Dere), the spokesman of Harakat Al-shabab Mujahideen who was present at Gulwadayasha building, the area where both the officer and weapon formally displayed today said that more than 50 soldier from the transitional government from their military positions joined them adding that they had welcomed them greatly and dealt with them with good manner.
The spokesman said the performed officer was called Bashi Ahmed who he said that he was member of the former national forces of Somali government in the are of ousted president Mohamed Siad Barre, but was current serving as transitional federal government officer in the capital.
He said that he was one of the troops in Na’na’a factory, a base for the transitional government of Somalia in south of Mogadishu.
Bashi Ahmed who also talked to the journalists said that he was trained in Djibouti adding that the authorities of the transitional government did not give any rights to its troops asserting that he decided to leave his colleague and joined to Harakat Al-shabab Mujahideen.
Sheik Ali Mohamuded Rage said that Mr. Ahmed understood more about the decisive actions of the TFG calling for the others soldiers to leave from the government and join them pointing out that the government and AMISOM were those who often plan to deceive the Somalia people.
The officials also displayed 50 AK-47, mostly automatic hand guns used saying that 50 other government troops from the transitional government with the weapon had joined the Islamist fighters of Harakat Al-shabab Mujahideen urging the fighters to redouble their fighting against the allied troops of the government and AMSIOM stressing that they would once be out of the country
Surprising: Islam Insulted, Muslim converts in Denmark increased instead
The attention on Islam in Denmark, the country that triggered the reactions of the millions of Muslim all over the world, keeps on increasing. This has been ongoing following the publications of the controversial cartoons in 2005. Based on the study conducted by the University of Copenhagen, it was found that with the occurrence of that incident there exists a surprising new phenomenon where quite a large number of people who are natives of Denmark precisely embraced Islam. After the incident of insulting cartoons targeting the Prophet SAW, some experts viewed that the anti-Islam actions taken up in the West has, on the contrary, caused a huge interest on the society in the religion of Islam, not distancing them from the religion Islam like what the West intended, instead it increased their love for the religion of Islam.
In connection with this, the University of Copenhagen made a report which has 69 pages, explaining the result of their study that what those experts were telling was true. The report has been submitted to the government offices while its contents have not been revealed to the press. Only that, some politicians judged that the Danish people who converted to Islam were those who were stressed and frustrated. These were some of the information's that they talked about. The University of Copenhagen initiated their study following the controversy that happened last year regarding the prohibition of veils in Denmark. The spokesman of the Conservative Party, proclaimed the importance of the prohibition of veils worn by some Muslim women. This issue kept on brewing for quite some time, that it eventually caused the Chairman of the Liberal Party, Lars Luka Rasmussen and the Chairman of the Conservative Party, Lenny Ospercyn held an emergency meeting concerning this problem. This study had also received a lot inputs from various medias in Denmark, especially some national newspapers in Denmark, which used a number of pages for the news related to this issue, and the largest of them was the Jilan Posten, the newspaper that in 2005 published the cartoon insulting Prophet Muhammad SAW.
1920 Revolution Brigades an element of Consolidated Commission for Authorizing Factions claimed responsibility for shelling American occupation headquarters in Kirkuk City with rockets. The jihad faction said the target was successfully hit where it also shared the video record of the operation. According to the statement, helicopters were flying over the headquarters for an hour.
Israeli hypocrisy would be comical, if its consequences weren’t so tragic. These days, Israeli media and Israel’s powerful friends in the media in the United States have been tom-tomming about the noble help and rescue mission Israelis have undertaken in the remote, quake-hit island of Haiti.
Doubtless, the catastrophe that has hit Haiti is truly mind-boggling and terrifying. The all-round devastation the island has suffered is beyond words. This is perhaps how our world would look like when the End comes. And one hates to make a political point out of this terrible, terrible human tragedy. But you can’t help it when you come across the kind of hypocrisy that Israel displays in Haiti.
While the people it has locked away in their homes in Gaza and across the Palestinian territories live in most despicable conditions and crave the basics such as food, water, electricity and just about everything else, the magnanimous Israel is sending aid and medical teams to help the luckless people of Haiti.
Can there be a more stunning example of hypocrisy and double standards?
I am not even remotely suggesting that Israel shouldn’t act to help the calamity-hit people of Haiti. In fact, given the magnitude of the tragedy, every one of us should do his or her bit for the unfortunate people.
Lest the U.S. media preoccupied with Israel have failed to notice, Arab and Muslim countries, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Qatar, Iran, Kuwait, Morocco and many others, have also reached out to Haiti, sending much-needed aid soon after the earthquake last month. Despite its tiny size, the U.A.E. has been quick to act through the Red Crescent and even independently, just as it always has in the past.
But you don’t get to hear about them on Fox News or CNN because Arab countries are not crowing about their actions. Perhaps, it’s time they should. In any case, when it comes to fighting a propaganda war and handling the media, Arab and Muslim countries have never been a match for Israel and its many lobbies and think tanks.
Just Google and see how bloggers are praising Israel for its mission in Haiti even as they blast the oil-rich Arab and Muslim countries for not giving a damn or a dime for the needy in Haiti.
This, despite the plane-loads of relief and aid supplies Muslim countries have sent. This is just one instance of how shockingly ill-equipped Arab and Muslim countries are for the modern warfare of the media and the diplomatic battles for hearts and minds.
But this is not about what the Arab and Muslim world is doing in Haiti. This is about the ludicrous double standards of the state that claims to be the only "democracy and civilized society" in the Middle East.
If the Israelis have reached out to the Haiti tragedy by swiftly dispatching a medical team, it’s laudable. But why the gentile Jews who were moved by a tragedy on the other side of the world cannot see what’s been happening right under their noses for years beats me.
It’s indeed good to see that Israelis are after all human and can be moved by human suffering. But I wonder why the same Israeli hearts run dry of the milk of human kindness when it comes to Palestinians.
Help for the helpless Haitians is welcome but what about those languishing in Gaza? As Israeli writer Akiva Eldar argues in a courageous piece in Haaretz, "The remarkable identification with the victims of the terrible tragedy in distant Haiti only underscores the indifference to the ongoing suffering of the people of Gaza. Only a little more than an hour’s drive from the offices of Israel’s major newspapers, 1.5 million people have been besieged on a desert island for two and a half years. Who cares that 80 per cent of the men, women and children living in such proximity to us have fallen under the poverty line? How many Israelis know that half of all Gazans are dependent on charity, that Operation Cast Lead created hundreds of amputees, that raw sewage flows from the streets into the sea?"
Why aren’t there more voices like that of Eldar from within Israeli society against the victimization and persecution of Palestinians? Why don’t more Israeli journalists and commentators protest against the inhuman treatment of Palestinians, whose only crime is that they were born at the wrong time in the wrong country? They are as guilty as the Jews had been seven decades ago when the Nazis sent them to their death. Why can’t yesterday’s victims see the tragic irony and incongruity of their actions against today’s victims?
As Eldar has the moral courage to point out, if Haiti is a natural disaster, "The one in Gaza is the un-proud handiwork of man. Our handiwork!"
Israeli media is full of heart-warming, feel-good stories about the brave Israeli Defense Forces, or IDF, soldiers and medical teams saving lives and rescuing babies on the Caribbean island. But how many Israelis care about the babies and infants dying for lack of critical food and medicines in Palestinian territories under their occupation? How many care about pregnant women, critically injured men dying after endlessly waiting at Israeli checkpoints?
The Israeli concern for people in the devastated Haiti is very touching. But how many Israelis care two hoots about the thousands of Palestinian families living in open, in the ruins of their former homes?
Israel’s bombing blitz on Gaza last year destroyed 60,000 homes, 3,500 of which were totally turned into rubble. More than 1,500 people, nearly half of them women and children, were killed in the war that started the day after Christmas in the land that gave birth to Christ.
And much of the surviving population in the limbo that is Gaza cannot go back to living, nor can it rebuild its homes and demolished city. The Israeli blockade of the Strip means nothing, including construction material and the promised aid by the international community, can get into Gaza.
Isn’t this a mockery of humanity and the so-called international community that while this population languishes under a lockdown in the largest prison on the planet, Israel sends food and medicines to the people on the other side of the world? Can there be a more breathtaking example of injustice? As Akiva Eldar says, "the images of Israeli doctors (helping) in Haiti cannot blur Israel’s ugly face" in Gaza and elsewhere in Palestine.
When will the world break its silence to end this charade in the Holy Land? When will the world act to stop Israel’s oppression? How long will the poor Palestinians have to carry this heavy cross that the West has forced on them? Any answers, Mr. Barack Obama? Any clue, Mr. Ban Ki-moon?

The Yemeni archipelago of Socotra in the Indian Ocean is located some 80 kilometres off the Horn of Africa and 380 kilometres South of the Yemeni coastline. The islands of Socotra are a wildlife reserve recognized by (UNESCO), as a World Natural Heritage Site.
Socotra is at the crossroads of the strategic naval waterways of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden (See map below). It is of crucial importance to the US military.
Among Washington's strategic objectives is the militarization of major sea ways. This strategic waterway links the Mediterranean to South Asia and the Far East, through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
It is a major transit route for oil tankers. A large share of China's industrial exports to Western Europe transits through this strategic waterway. Maritime trade from East and Southern Africa to Western Europe also transits within proximity of Socotra (Suqutra), through the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. (see map below). A military base in Socotra could be used to oversee the movement of vessels including war ships in an out of the Gulf of Aden.
Sea Power
From a military standpoint, the Socotra archipelago is at a strategic maritime crossroads. Morever, the archipelago extends over a relatively large maritime area at the Eastern exit of the Gulf of Aden, extending from Abd al Kuri, to the main island of Socotra. This maritime area of international transit lies in Yemeni territorial waters. (See map).
Socotra is some 3000 km from the US naval base of Diego Garcia, which is among America's largest overseas military facilities.
The Socotra Military Base
On January 2nd, 2010, President Saleh and General David Petraeus, Commander of the US Central Command met for high level discussions behind closed doors.
The Saleh-Petraeus meeting was casually presented by the media as a timely response to the foiled Detroit Christmas bomb attack on Northwest flight 253. It had apparently been scheduled on an ad hoc basis as a means to coordinating counter-terrorism initiatives directed against "Al Qaeda in Yemen", including "the use [of] American drones and missiles on Yemen lands."
Several reports, however, confirmed that the Saleh-Petraeus meetings were intent upon redefining US military involvement in Yemen including the establishment of a full-fledged military base on the island of Socotra. Yemen's president Ali Abdullah Saleh was reported to have "surrendered Socotra for Americans who would set up a military base, pointing out that U.S. officials and the Yemeni government agreed to set up a military base in Socotra to counter pirates and al-Qaeda." (Fars News. January 19, 2010)
On January 1st, one day before the Saleh-Petraeus meetings in Sanaa, General Petraeus confirmed in a Baghdad press conference that "security assistance" to Yemen would more than double from 70 million to more than 150 million dollars, which represents a 14 fold increase since 2006. (Scramble for the Island of Bliss: Socotra!, War in Iraq, January 12, 2010. See also CNN January 9, 2010, The Guardian, December 28, 2009).
This doubling of military aid to Yemen was presented to World public opinion as a response to the Detroit bomb incident, which allegedly had been ordered by Al Qaeda operatives in Yemen.
The establishment of an air force base on the island of Socotra was described by the US media as part of the "Global war on Terrorism":
"Among the new programs, Saleh and Petraeus agreed to allow the use of American aircraft, perhaps drones, as well as "seaborne missiles"--as long as the operations have prior approval from the Yemenis, according to a senior Yemeni official who requested anonymity when speaking about sensitive subjects. U.S. officials say the island of Socotra, 200 miles off the Yemeni coast, will be beefed up from a small airstrip [under the jurisdiction of the Yemeni military] to a full base in order to support the larger aid program as well as battle Somali pirates. Petraeus is also trying to provide the Yemeni forces with basic equipment such as up-armored Humvees and possibly more helicopters." (Newsweek, Newsweek, January 18, 2010, emphasis added)
Existing runway and airport
US Naval Facility?
The proposed US Socotra military facility, however, is not limited to an air force base. A US naval base has also been contemplated.
The development of Socotra's naval infrastructure was already in the pipeline. Barely a few days prior (December 29, 2009) to the Petraeus-Saleh discussions (January 2, 2010), the Yemeni cabinet approved a US$14 million loan by Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED) in support of the development of Socotra's seaport project.
The Great Game
The Socotra archipelago is part of the Great Game opposing Russia and America.
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union had a military presence in Socotra, which at the time was part of South Yemen.
Barely a year ago, the Russians entered into renewed discussions with the Yemeni government regarding the establishment of a Naval base on Socotra island. A year later, in January 2010, in the week following the Petraeus-Saleh meeting, a Russian Navy communiqué "confirmed that Russia did not give up its plans to have bases for its ships... on Socotra island." (DEFENSE and SECURITY (Russia), January 25, 2010)
The Petraeus-Saleh January 2, 2010 discussions were crucial in weakening Russian diplomatic overtures to the Yemeni government.
The US military has had its eye on the island of Socotra since the end of the Cold War.
In 1999, Socotra was chosen "as a site upon which the United States planned to build a signal intelligence system...." Yemeni opposition news media reported that "Yemen's administration had agreed to allow the U.S. military access to both a port and an airport on Socotra." according to the opposition daily Al-Haq, "a new civilian airport built on Socotra to promote tourism had conveniently been constructed in accordance with U.S. military specifications." (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (Pennsylvania), October 18, 2000)
The Militarization of the Indian Ocean
The establishment of a US military base in Socotra is part of the broader process of militarization of the Indian Ocean. The latter consists in integrating and linking Socotra into an existing structure as well as reinforcing the key role played by the Diego Garcia military base in the Chagos archipelago.
The US Navy's geostrategist Rear Admiral Alfred T. Mahan had intimated, prior to World War, that "whoever attains maritime supremacy in the Indian Ocean would be a prominent player on the international scene." (Indian Ocean and our Security).
What was at stake in Mahon's writings was the strategic control by the US of major Ocean sea ways.

Grave concerns over presence of Blackwater in Pakistan by Asif Haroon Raja
February 6, 2010
A private and secretive outfit named Blackwater under Erik Prince propped up in North Carolina in mid 1990s with its HQ spread over 7000 acres of land.
It trains tens of thousands of law enforcement officials a year from the US and other nations. It has grown into a private army and has become so powerful that it can topple a government. It has over 2300 soldiers deployed in nine countries. It maintains a data base of 21000 Special Forces troops and retired police for its use.
Jeremy Scahill revealed in his book "Rise of the world’s most powerful mercenary army", that Pentagon has made private contractors an integral part of operations. Infamous private security firm Blackwater had been put to use in Iraq as hired killers. Largest ever private contractors totalling 100,000 were employed having a ratio of 1:1 to American soldiers. Paul Bremer initially used security guards of this private firm for his personal protection and subsequently expanded its role to avoid US casualties. It changed its name to Xe Worldwide or Xe Services after earning bad name in Iraq where it was extensively employed by US military.
This role is now being performed in Afghanistan particularly after US war casualties started to rise in 2009. Most of clandestine work in Afghanistan is being done by Blackwater. Reportedly, Blackwater/Xe in Afghanistan is training and equipping Afghan troops who then fire on US soldiers during joint operations. Two such incidents took place in 2009 and this practice is aimed at justifying troop surge.
Gordon Duff, a senior editor of Veterans Today has disclosed that the CIA has outsourced its most secret projects to Blackwater, a mercenary group with worst reputation of any firm the US has ever done business with. It plans and executes terrorist acts against civilian targets, military installations, intelligence agencies and resorts to target killings. It maintains contacts with terrorist leaders and organizes revolutionary groups. Disregarding US laws, CIA has expanded the role of private contractors including Blackwater like raids, operations in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and Somalia and now in Yemen. This was disclosed by four former US military and intelligence officers to ABL News.
There is mounting evidence that Pentagon and CIA are engaged in a war against Pakistan population involving death squads, disappearances and torture. These infamous practices were employed in Vietnam and Al Salvador. One of the chief executives of Blackwater Robert Richer was head of CIA’s Near East and South Asia from1999 to 2004 and ran clandestine operations throughout Middle East and South Asia. Gen Petraeus in August 2009 announced plans to launch an intelligence training centre in coordination with others to train military officers, covert agents and analysts who agree to focus on Afghanistan and Pakistan for up to a decade. In the same month, it was announced that Pentagon was reassigning its 3rd Special Forces Group presently deployed in Africa and Caribbean to focus on Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The CIA also uses credentialed journalists to engage in counter-intelligence. Individuals working as subcontractors to CIA have links to Blackwater CIA-approved operations in targeted countries of the region. Blackwater comes in the guise of contractors, investors, business partners and economic advisers. According to Tim Shorrock, Washington obtained $42 billion annually on private intelligence contractors, up from $17.5 in 2000. It implies 70% intelligence budget going to private companies. Private contractors have been involved in Guantanamo Bay, Bagram and Abu Garib prisons. Blackwater not only serves CIA but also private interests for money. Blackwater elements used extensively by CIA and US military to minimize hazards of combat to US troops have come under intense censure and scrutiny in Iraq and Pakistan due to which their liberty of action has curtailed.
Controversial Blackwater firm which is an extension of US military and CIA is associated with Christian rights and is anti-Islam. Its head Eric Prince is right wing Christian. He has been engaged in uniting conservative Catholics, evangelicals, and neoconservatives in a common Theo-conservative holy war to eliminate Muslims and Islam globally. Blackwater acts as the armed wing of the movement. Blackwater is reportedly running a covert recruitment drive through its website in Pakistan; www.blackwaterUSA.com. It can only be accessed through four company executives’ references. It seeks candidates who can speak Punjabi and Urdu. $ one billion has been allocated for Blackwater which is above law and accountability. Not even home country law is applicable to this outfit. Not a single private contractor involved in gruesome murders has been prosecuted.
Presence of elements of notorious Blackwater in Islamabad, Peshawar and Quetta and now in Karachi has created ripples in Pakistan and has become a cause of serious concern for all Pakistanis. In Peshawar, they are operating from office of CA11 on Chinar Road, University Town. In-charge of this set up Craig Davis was caught red handed in Peshawar indulging in objectionable activities and having links with Afghanistan. He was identified as an operative of Creative Associates International Inc; a Washington based US firm, one of the wings of Blackwater. Craig was arrested and deported to USA. He and several other deported persons were returned to Pakistan after receiving visas from Pak Embassy in Washington and security cleared by interior ministry and Craig resumed his official activities. Ambassador Hussain Haqqani issued 360 visas to American nationals in one month without consulting Islamabad. This dangerous practice would have continued had the ISI not put its foot down. Consequent to this setback, this suspicious company changed its name and shifted to Karachi.
Several incidents of Americans carrying prohibited bore weapons and grenades roaming the streets of Islamabad during ungodly hours took place. Two incidents happened in Lahore and five Americans were caught under suspicious conditions from Sargodha. Glen Greinwad disclosed that there is ample evidence that the US pays a number of groups within Iran to commit acts of terrorism. If so, there is likelihood that CIA must be indulging in such like activities in Pakistan as well. Blackwater has been actively involved in assassinating pro-government Maliks, clerics and notables in FATA, religious scholars in NWFP, political figures, and target killings in Quetta and in Karachi and in drone attacks. It had a role in organised terrorist attacks against military and police targets in Lahore and Rawalpindi. It provides surveillance and support to terrorist groups such as BLA and BRA in Balochistan and FATA and Swat.
Reportedly, the US has purchased 16 acres land from CDA in Islamabad. Over $ 1 billion has been earmarked for the expansion of US Embassy in Islamabad, part of which would stretch up to PM Secretariat and Presidency. Offices of Marines, Blackwater security consultants along with residences will be constructed. The new Embassy would be designed to make it bomb proof and to be able to eavesdrop all our high powered secret meetings taking place in parliament, Presidency and PM Secretariat. Rumors are afloat that 1000 to 7000 US Marines together with APCs are planned to be stationed within the confines of new embassy in Islamabad with licence to move about anywhere in Pakistan. 400 houses have been hired in Islamabad by US Embassy.
The intended expanded US Embassy in Islamabad will be the largest in the world. $ 115 million have been earmarked for it and made part of Kerry-Lugar Bill (KLB) package for Pakistan. It includes $5 million for Marines quarters, $53.5 million for housing infrastructure; $18 million for general services and office area; $36 million for temporary duty quarters and community staff facilities. All told $4 billion will be required for the ambitious project. $800 million had been allocated for the protection of enlarged and fortified Embassy through private security contractor DynCorp.
Some say it is being made into a military base while others say a cantonment is being built. Expansion of US Embassy in Islamabad is being justified under the plea that greater number of officials would be required to disburse promised $1.5 billion aid per annum from USA and Friends of Pakistan. If this is the criteria, India with which USA has strategic cooperation in defence and economic fields which is twenty times more in volume, USA should need half of New Delhi to accommodate coordinating and disbursement staff. US Ambassador has sought sanction for 800 vehicles which will be in addition to existing fleet of 1100 private cars in use by Embassy staff in Islamabad. It is said that the fortified US Embassy close to PM secretariat will counter balance Rawalpindi based 111 Brigade. Under the garb of KLB, which is a step towards neo-colonisation of Pakistan, it is intended to enhance presence of US military contractors, immune from prosecution.
The US has purchased a large chunk of land in Sihala and has seemingly established a secret military training camp adjacent to police academy just a few km away from Islamabad and from Kahuta. It is being used to recruit retired army personnel preferably ex SSG at handsome salaries to work for US military. Monthly salaries range from $200 to $1200. Commandant of the Academy or any other person belonging to law enforcing agency could not enter the prohibited area. Sensitive instruments were implanted to monitor KRL and to gain intelligence on nuclear assets. It has now come to light that this unchecked facility was given to USA in 2003 under an unwritten agreement by Gen Musharraf to train the police.
A security firm has a warehouse in Islamabad which was involved in illegal arm trade. The warehouse, Kestral Logistics, worked as a sub contractor of Xe World. It imported heavy arms and ammunition for US Company for its illicit operation in Pakistan. The US rejected news on warehouse for storing arms. US Ambassador Anne Patterson and Richard Holbrooke too denied presence of Blackwater.
In 2006, Pakistan had signed an agreement with the US authorising Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) to enter Pakistan to hunt Osama bin Laden. At that time Gen McChrystal was head of JSOC. It was learnt in 2008 that the US had acquired huge chunk of land near Tarbela with a view to build a military base. Some reports say that 300 US military advisers are lodged in Tarbela and drones are also controlled from there. US Special Forces have been conducting joint exercises with our commandoes apart from imparting advanced training.
US military trainers favour tactics adopted by JSOC and are imparting training to Frontier Corps in Fort Balhissar Peshawar and in Warsak. On 23 February 2009, Pentagon revealed that over 70 American military advisers had been secretly working in Pakistan since long. It has now transpired that 100-member strong Special Forces unit is stationed in NWFP since 2008 to train FC in counter terrorism. Three US trainers died in a suicide attack in Lower Dir on 3 February 2010. TTP claimed responsibility and claimed that the killed foreigners belonged to Xe Worldwide.
Reportedly, US opened a JSOC in Balochistan where Marines are coming in via Islamabad. Marines as well as heavy contingent of Blackwater elements to the tune of 11000 have also been spotted in Balochistan, who in collaboration with BLA and BRA are mostly carrying out target killings. Four air bases in Balochistan had been leased to US military in September 2001 and these bases at Jacobabad, Pasni, Dalbaldin and Shamsi are still in their use. It is now an open secret that Shamsi airbase is under use by US drones where Blackwater was hired for loading hellfire missiles and 500 lbs laser guided bombs on Predators. Similar job is being performed at Jalalabad air base to strike targets in Pakistan. In the wake of intense pressure from people of Pakistan, CIA terminated the contract of terrorist group Blackwater Worldwide employed at Shamsi Base but is still using it in Balochistan under the name of Xe Services.
Blackwater has now spread its tentacles to Karachi under a different name. It has hired seven private houses in defence area and acquired hundreds of acres of land near Pataro in Sindh to launch agricultural research institute. There were reports of secret construction of operational facilities in Gharo in Sindh to serve as a base for 200 Marines and that sizeable numbers of American armoured carriers had arrived at Port Qasim, with 3000 Humvees awaiting dispatch.
Jeremy Scahill has revealed about a covert forward operation base run by JSOC in Karachi in which Blackwater is actively involved in planning and executing target assassination of suspected Taliban and Al-Qaeda. The outfit also helps in gathering intelligence and in drone attacks. Reportedly the militant wing of MQM has joined hands with Blackwater and former is making full use of it to serve its political ends.
Seymour M. Hersh suggested that it is easier and safer to remove separately stored arming system of nuclear systems from the soil of Pakistan. US intelligence agencies in various guises like Xe worldwide are reportedly developing techniques to disable arming system. Blackwater has begun to make diagrammatical drawings and video films of nuclear installations as well as available routes to help execute US plan to hijack nukes in one go.
While every second Pakistani is expressing its grave concern over presence of Blackwater, and even Robert Gates admitted its presence, ironically the Interior Minister is adamant that there is none and wants documentary proof. It is generally believed that while Musharraf regime allowed setting up of DynCorp in Islamabad, Hussain Haqqani and Rehman Malik are instrumental in facilitating entry of Blackwater in Pakistan.
Afghan resistance statement: "Can we call this reconciliation?"
February 6, 2010
After the London Conference, the Kabul surrogate administration farcically speaks of peace and reconciliation. Hamid Karzai, Head of the stooge administration, visited Saudi Arabia to request Saudi King Abdullah to mediate between the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and the Kabul regime and, by extension, with the USA. However, if we ponder over the whole process of reconciliation, we see that it is no more than an eye-wash, designed to ostensibly show to the public of these countries who are against the war, that the power-that-be wants peace and an end to the current war. But, contrarily, Pentagon is at present making preparation for a new military operations in Helmand province, south Afghanistan. Similarly, they put forward conditions, which are tantamount to escalating the war rather than ending it. For example, they want Mujahideen to lay down arms; accept the Constitution and renounce violence. None can name this reconciliation.
Likewise, it is in condition that the Kabul stooge regime has no writ beyond the capital Kabul. Even in Kabul they are not safe. The audacious attack of Mujahideen on building of some important ministries, near the presidential palace in Kabul is an example of the military strength of the Mujahideen and the inability of the stooge regime to face the committed members of the Islamic Emirate.
According to International Council for Development and Security, the Islamic Emirate has influence in 80% of Afghanistan and with the passage of time, the influence is spreading. So the Kabul regime effort to call on the Islamic Emirate to surrender under the pseudo-name of reconciliation is a futile effort.
This is not the first time that the Kabul regime and the invading countries want to throw dust into the eyes of the public of the world by announcing reconciliation in words and, in practice, make preparation for war. Ironically, the Pentagon is trying to lure away files and ranks of the Islamic Emirate by offering them cash money rather than making an honest effort for peace based on ground realities and on realization of the natural rights of the Afghans. No doubt, by resorting to the old British formula divide and rule, the invading Americans will only prolong the war but will not end it.
The Islamic Emirate has curtains goals to achieve. They are: 1. Complete independence of the country. 2. Establishment of an Islamic system representing the wants and aspiration of the Afghan people. 3. Progress and prosperity of the country and people.
Our first priority is to achieve these goals through talks and negotiation. But if the invading powers in Afghanistan are not ready to give the Afghans their natural rights which is the right of independence and establishment of a government based on their aspirations and wants, then the Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate are determined to carry on the fight until the realization of the said goals.
A US military contractor is believed to have been kidnapped in Iraq after an armed group released a video showing a man being held captive.
The video was released by a group calling itself Asaib Ahl al-Haq, or the League of the Righteous, just hours after the US defence department said that 60-year-old Issa T. Salomi had been missing since January 23.
In the video, which runs less than two minutes, he read out the group's demands for the release of detainees who had "resisted occupation" and "never been involved in any serious crime against their fellow innocent Iraqis".
The captive also called for the conviction of employees of US security firm Blackwater, since renamed as Xe Services, accused of killing unarmed Iraqi citizens in 2007.
"The second demand is to bring the proper justice and the proper punishment to those members of the Blackwater company that have committed unjustifiable crimes against innocent Iraqi citizens," he said.
"I also would like to relay the justifiable demand of the Iraqi Islamic resistance for the complete withdrawal from Iraq, so Iraq can become a sovereign nation."
Hostage 'deal'
Asaib Ahl al-Haq was believed to be responsible for the kidnapping of Peter Moore, a British IT expert, and his four bodyguards in May 2007.
Moore was released last year, but three of the bodyguards have been confirmed killed and the fourth is still missing.
A senior leader of Asaib Ahl al-Haq was reported as telling the Reuters news agency on Saturday that the abducted contractor, whom he did not name, was seized because the government was not keeping a promise to free the group's supporters from prison.
Such a deal was widely believed to have been behind the release of Moore in December, despite Iraqi and British government denials of a link.
"The government is carrying out many violations against us," the leader was quoted as telling Reuters.
If the kidnapping of Salomi confirmed, it will be the first of a foreigner in Iraq since the group took Moore.
Furqon di Indonesia: Understanding the meaning of "permission is given (to Fight)"
Safar 22, 1431 A.H, Saturday February 06, 2010
We have known that the System of Democracy or "Religion of Democracy" had been developed by "America" together with the other zionist/crusaders alliances who are in power. Besides that, they also invented the system of pluralism, liberalism, communism, socialism and capitalism to support that religion of democracy. They endavored to build a world civilization with that liberalist system and capitalist economy. However, what has happened is that, they have failed to build a World Civilization that is successful and prosperous. On the contrary, they all have ruined the life on this earth. From the issue of unemployment to other issues of social life, in fact even in the issue of environment such as the conservation of nature and its natural resources, all have been ruined by them. These are the facts that are happening when the kafirs are in power.
Compare it to the time when Islam was in power, there was no unemployment, in fact the wealth in the Baitul Mal was accumulating as there was no more Muslims who was in need of them. Conservations of nature and the natural resources were maintained and preserved, there was no destruction on earth. In short, the "Baldatun Thoyyibatun wa robbun Ghofur" (Saba' (34): 15) had really come into being. Those were the facts that happened when the Islamic Ummah were in power.
In this respect, let's understand the verses of Allah SWT below:
[22:39] Permission (to fight) has been given to those who are being fought, because they are wronged. And verily, Allah is most powerful to give them victory,
[22:40] (They are) those who have been expelled from their homes without right,- (for no cause) except that they say, "our Lord is Allah." Were it not that Allah checks one set of people by means of another, there would surely have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and masjids, in which the name of Allah is commemorated in abundant measure. Allah will certainly aid those who aid His (cause) - for verily Allah is full of Strength, Exalted in Might, (able to enforce His Will). (At Taubah (22): 39-40)
In the verse 39, it is clear that the Islamic ummah are permitted to fight because they have been wronged (oppressed, tyrannized) by the kafir people who are in power.
In the verse 40, let's understand the kalimah"Were it not that Allah checks one set of people by means of another, there would surely have been pulled down monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques, in which the name of Allah is commemorated in abundant measure. Allah will certainly aid those who aid His (cause)."
It is plain clear from these verses that if Allah SWT does not impede the cruelty of the kafirs who are in power, then the result would be that all the existing houses of worship would be demoslihed and destroyed including the masjids where the names of Allah are mentioned a lot.
So by what mean does Allah SWT impede those cruelty of the kafirs? The answer is by "permission to fight" given to the Islamic ummah in order to raise Dienullah.
To sum up, in the Qur'anic verses 22:39-40; by Him giving permission to fight, it is purely for the sake of putting a stop to the cruelty of the kafirs which has ruined the life of worshipping Allah SWT on this earth.
Now, let's also understand the verse of Allah SWT below:
"By Allah's will they (the forces of Thalut) routed them (the forces of Jalut); and Daud slew Jalut (in the battle); and Allah gave him power and wisdom and taught him whatever (else) He willed. And were it not that Allah checks one set of people by means of another, the earth would indeed be full of mischief: But Allah is full of bounty to all the worlds."Al-Baqara 2:251)
In the above verse, it is clear that the forces of Thalut had defeated the forces of Jalut by the will of Allah SWT, the same goes with Daud (David) as His "Battle Commander", he managed to kill Jalut (Goliath) by His will. This is Allah's way of impeding the cruelty of one set of people (at that time it was Jalut) through the forces of Thalut and Daud as His "battle commanders."
Supposing that Allah SWT does not stop the cruelty of one set of people (the kafirs) by means of another (the Islamic ummah) this earth would surely be damaged. Natural resources would be continually "exploited" in order to gratify the needs of the kafirs' carnal appetites without caring for the conservation of nature and environment.
The conclusion of the Qur'anic Surah 2:251; by "Him giving permission to fight", it is solely for preventing destructions on the surface of this earth resulting from the cruelty of the kafirs.
Warnings...!!!
1. O Islamic ummah (of Indonesia in this particular case)! We have understood that at this time the kafirs are in power through various systems that they have invented such as the system of democracy, Pluralism, liberalism, Neo Liberalism, communism, socialism and capitalism. All those systems have been proven of their incapability to bring impacts of progress for the human civilization, instead they have corrupted the life of worshipping Allah SWT and damaged the universe along with its contents.
2. If we claimed to be belonging to the Islamic ummah which has clearly been oppressed/subjugated but refuse to pick up weapons to fight, then it is the same as giving a hand in the destruction of the earth and ruining a life of worshipping Allah SWT, meaning we are just the same as them.
Let's be united as one, to build the strength of Islam in order to impede the cruelty of the kafirs through the systems that they have invented. We have been given the "green light" (permission) to fight by the Almighty! Great and heavenly rewards are awaiting us...

martyrdom operation attack kills a dozen American invading terrorists in Khost, destroys 2 U.S. tanks There is a recent report from the Khost province that on later Saturday morning (today), a brave Mujahid of the Islamic Emirate, Musa, resident of this Province carried out a martyr car bomb attack on the U.S. invaders military convoy of tanks, destroying two of their tanks and killing and wounding a dozen U.S invading terrorists in the Zankhel area of the Manduzu district in Khost province.
The convoy of the U.S invading terrorists was traveling on Gardiz road when the Mujahid slammed his vehicle filled with 1000 kilo grams explosives into their tanks, said the report, adding the road had been blacked off and the traffic movement halted by the Americans who had called in the helicopter to evacuate the dead and the wounded from the explosion site. It is, however, worth remembering that 20 CIA agents were killed and scores wounded in a martyr bomb attack on Dec. 30, 2009 in this province, while the U.S invaders military announced that 7 CIA employees had been killed and 6 wounded. We ask Allah to accept our brother among martyrs in Eelleyeen (high rank in the paradise). All praise and gratitude are due to Allah. Reported by Zabihullah Mujahid

According to the residents, the ambulances were seen rushing to the airfield to carry the casualties to the hospital. It is to be said that this airfield has come under attacks several times for the past 2 months. In fact, this airfield was targeted by missile strikes last month when the Bulgarian Minister of Defense, Nikolay Mladenov, visited Kandahar airfield. However, the U.S and NATO military, concerning the losses of that attack, confirmed the death of their two invading terrorists, saying six Nato invading terrorists were wounded. Reported by Qari Muhammad Yousuf

These operations were part of new Nasrat (Victory) operations plan, which was declared by Amir-ul-Momineen (Leader of the Believers) Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid (May Allah preserve him), leader of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
O Allah, make them and their weaponry a booty for the Mujahideen
O Allah, you are our support and you are our only Victor; by your order we attack; by your order we retreat and by your order we fight
O Allah, the sky is yours; the earth is yours; the sea is yours, so whatever forces they have in the sky, drop them. Destroy all their forces in earth and sink all their forces in sea
O Allah, deal with them for verily they can never disable you
O Allah, retaliate upon them, afflict them like you did to Pharaoh and his nation
O Allah afflict their country with floods, make them in need of money and food and persons
O Allah defeat them, destroy them O the All-Strong, the All-Mighty
Allahu Akbar

As US and British troops prepare to attack the town of Marjah in Afghanistan’s Helmand Province, military commanders and the media are openly comparing the operation to the November 2004 siege of Fallujah, one of the bloodiest war crimes of the Iraq war.
The operation in central Helmand province, long an area of intense resistance to the US-led occupation, will constitute the largest military offensive since Washington invaded the country in October 2001. At least 15,000 troops are expected to lay siege to the Helmand river valley town, which has 80,000 inhabitants and is said by the US military to be a stronghold of the Taliban.
A total of 125,000 people live in the district around Marjah, which is an agricultural center 350 miles west of Kabul. The population has been swelled by Afghans fleeing villages occupied by US Marines last summer, following President Barack Obama’s order shortly after he took office to send 21,000 more troops into Afghanistan.
US Marines, frustrated and enraged over casualties suffered at the hands of an unseen enemy who is able to attack and then blend back into the local population, will be unleashed against the town in a violent military assault, with predictable results.
Brigadier General Larry Nicholson, commander of the US Marines in southern Afghanistan, spelled out the character of the upcoming offensive. Those found in Marjah would have three options. "One is to stay and fight and probably die," he said. "The second one is to make peace with his government and reintegrate." The third would be to attempt to escape, "In which case we’ll probably have some people out there waiting on them as well."
"We're going to go in big," said Nicholson, commander of the 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade. "I’m not looking for a fair fight," he added.
In a highly unusual move, the US command has publicly announced plans for the offensive. "It’s a little unconventional to do it this way, but it gives everybody a chance to think through what they’re going to do before suddenly in the dark of night they’re hit with an offensive," said General Stanley McChrystal, the senior US commander in Afghanistan.
The stated intention of revealing the target of the upcoming offensive is to allow civilians to flee before the Marines move in. It also provides a preemptive alibi for the US offensive by painting those who fail to heed the warning as die-hard Taliban who deserve to be killed.
Stratfor, a military-intelligence web site with close ties to the US state apparatus, reported Thursday that "the assault is likely to include the cordoning off of the area, so many of the fighters dedicated to its defense will probably be forced to fight to the death or surrender."
The article continued: "With assaults on Fallujah and Ramadi in Iraq under their belts, the Marines are experienced with this sort of urban assault."
What is the record of urban assaults of "this sort"?
The Marine assault on Fallujah in November 2004 reduced most of the city of 300,000 people to rubble, as warplanes dropped thousands of tons of explosives and helicopter gunships and battle tanks fired missiles into buildings and strafed the area with cannon fire.
The US military command claimed to have killed 2,000 "insurgents," but the real death toll remains unknown. Civilians who remained in the town were subjected to the same bombardment. Some were shot to death during the door-to-door raids that followed, and others were killed while fleeing. Wounded fighters were summarily executed, and medical facilities were targeted for military attack. All those in the city were denied food, water and electricity for more than 10 days.
The operation was a vicious exercise in collective punishment against the population of Fallujah for the killing there of four Blackwater mercenaries and the city’s protracted resistance to foreign occupation. It embodied the criminality of the entire war and was characterized by multiple and gross violations of the laws of war.
If American military commanders are to be believed, a similar operation is being prepared in Afghanistan, and for similar reasons. The town of Marjah is to be turned into a killing field.
As in Fallujah, vengeance plays a role. US military forces have seen a steady escalation in casualties over the past year, while the CIA suffered a humiliating attack at the end of December that left seven of its operatives dead on the Afghan border.
In Afghanistan, as in Iraq, the US military command sees value in making an example of a population center known as a center of resistance to occupation, sending a message to the entire country that such resistance is futile and will be met with slaughter and destruction.
This bloodletting is officially justified in the name of a never-ending struggle against terrorism. Behind the propaganda, the driving force of the war in Afghanistan, like the war in Iraq, is the attempt by America’s ruling elite to counter the crisis of US capitalism through the use of force and the seizure of strategic positions in the Persian Gulf and Central Asia, both centers of vast energy reserves.
A year ago, when Barack Obama entered the White House, there existed hope among broad layers of the American people that his inauguration would turn such words as Fallujah, Abu Ghraib, Guantánamo, Blackwater, torture and rendition into the lexicon of a dark and shameful, but closed, chapter in US history.
The preparation of the Marjah offensive only underscores that, far from being ended, the crimes of the Bush administration are continuing and escalating under the Democratic president.
Today there are more US troops deployed abroad in colonial-style wars and occupations than under Bush, and the killing has spread from Iraq and Afghanistan to Pakistan and Yemen. The Obama administration is seeking $322 billion for the two ongoing wars and occupations, a figure that will doubtless be swelled by further demands for "supplemental" funding.
The supposed candidate of "hope" and "change" has emerged ever more clearly as the hand-picked agent of sections of the political establishment and military-intelligence complex that wanted to effect certain tactical changes in policy, while continuing to employ militarism abroad and wage a relentless assault on the working class at home.
American working people cannot accept a new round of war crimes carried out in their name. The demand for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all US and other foreign troops from Afghanistan must be joined with a political offensive against the Obama administration and the financial oligarchy that it defends.

Muslims using such sites must be considered "sinners" said the religious edict's author, sheikh Abdel Hamid al-Atras.

"It's an instrument that destroys the family because it encourages spouses to have relations with other people which break Islamic sharia law, said al-Atrash, quoted by pan-Arab daily Al-Sharq al-Awsat.
He is the former head of the fatwa commission at Cairo's Al-Azhar University, one of the highest authorities in Sunni Islam.
"While one or other of the spouses is at work, the other is chatting online with someone else, wasting their time and flouting the Sharia.
"This endangers the Muslim family," said al-Atrash.
The fatwa followed the publication earlier this week of a study claiming one out of five of divorces in Egypt had been caused by liaisons begun on Facebook or other social networking sites.

"That is why whoever uses such websites must be considered a sinner," he concluded.More..
The Rising Tide of Internet Censorship by James Corbett
February 5, 2010
Will recent successes in fighting internet controls be enough to stave off tyranny?
The focus is back on Internet censorship this week as a pair of articles from Time Magazine and The New York Times came out almost simultaneously advocating for licences to operate web sites. These articles were skillfully skewered by Paul Joseph Watson as lame attempts to shore up a disintegrating establishment media in the face of a blogosphere that is increasingly replacing them.
The articles follow on calls by Craig Mundie—Microsoft's chief research and strategy officer—for an Internet licencing system. Introducing the idea, he said "We need a kind of World Health Organization for the Internet." Evidently unaware of the ongoing investigation into the WHO's role in manufacturing the H1N1 pandemic hoax to line the pockets of Big Pharma, Mundie added that an international Internet authority should be given the same kind of authority that the WHO has in dealing with a pandemic. "When there is a pandemic, it organizes the quarantine of cases. We are not allowed to organize the systematic quarantine of machines that are compromised." These calls are worrying because they represent only the latest instance of influential figures proposing increasingly tyrannical controls on free speech on the Internet.
The Obama presidency has seen an increase in hype over cybersecurity threats, with the influential CSIS "think tank" having written white papers proposing cybersecurity as a key issue for the 44th president. As we reported last July, CSIS argued for "minimium standards for securing cyberspace" because "voluntary action is not enough."
Shortly after Obama took office last year, Senator Jay Rockefeller introduced a Senate bill (S.773) that would give the president the power to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" and shut down the Internet. The bill would also require network administrators in the private sector receive licencing from the federal government after taking a federally-mandated certificagtion program. During Committee hearings, Rockefeller went so far as to say that it would have been better if the Internet had never been invented.
In November of last year it was reported that an Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) being negotiated by the world's leading economies would force ISPs to cut off subscribers who were found to have shared copyrighted content on more than two occasions. Recent reports indicate that this proposal was not discussed at an ACTA meeting last month, but the so-called "three-strikes rule" has already passed in France.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that Obama's information czar, Cass Sunstein, has blamed the blogosphere for spreading anti-government sentiments and advocated that the government actually employ people to infiltrate online communities and spread information favorable to the government in an effort to destabilize them. As remarkable as such a proposal may seem from a high-ranking government official, it is only one aspect of an official Pentagon strategy to fight the net as if it were an enemy weapons system.
All of these proposals and numerous other stories we have reported on the past (e.g.here and here) represent only the latest attempts to stifle free speech on the Internet. Although groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation have been fighting such moves for a long time, the explosive power of the online community in derailing the carbon eugenics agenda and exposing the Federal Reserve has awakened many to the nascent medium's potential...and its value. The value of the Internet is directly tied to freedom of speech, a principle that is opposed solely by the establishment media who thrived for decades in a virtually competition-free era before the rise of the Internet. As one commenter on the Time Magazine puff piece calling for Internet licencing notes, "There is NO grass roots movement anywhere calling for government intervention in the internet. It is not broken. It works too well, that is a problem for tyrants."
As with everything related to the Internet, however, the collaborative efforts of concerned citizen in opposing Internet censorship is paying off in positive developments. The newfound awareness of the Internet's power and importance is raising awareness that online liberties are in fact fundamental rights that cannot be taken away. Even China was forced to back down from an Internet licencing scheme (exactly like that proposed at Davos) because of public pressure. A draconian Australian law that would have required all online political comments to be accompanied by the commenters full name and address is likely to be repealed by the Attorney General.
Whether or not these individual successes in fighting back the approach of online tyranny will ultimately derail the establishment's agenda remains to be seen. It depends largely on public outcry over the loss of online liberties becoming a genuine grassroots movement.

Israeli report claims $2 billion stolen from Palestinians by Jonathan Cook
February 4, 2010
Jerusalem
Over the past four decades Israel has defrauded Palestinians working inside Israel of more than US$2 billion (Dh7.4bn) by deducting from their salaries contributions for welfare benefits to which they were never entitled, Israeli economists revealed this week.
A new report, "State Robbery", says the "theft" continued even after the Palestinian Authority was established in 1994 and part of the money was supposed to be transferred to a special fund on behalf of the workers.
According to information supplied by Israeli officials, most of the deductions from the workers’ pay were invested in infrastructure projects in the Palestinian territories – a presumed reference to the massive state subsidies accorded to the settlements.
After the recent easing of restrictions on entering Israel under the "economic peace" promised by Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, nearly 50,000 Palestinians from the West Bank are working in Israel and continue to have such contributions docked from their pay.
Complicit in the deception, the report adds, is the Histadrut, the Israeli labour federation, which levies a monthly fee on Palestinian workers, even though they are not entitled to membership and are not represented in labour disputes.
"This is a clear-cut case of theft from Palestinian workers on a grand scale," said Shir Hever, a Jerusalem-based economist and one of the authors of the report. "There are no reasons for Israel to delay in returning this money either to the workers or their beneficiaries."
The deductions started being made in 1970, three years after the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories began, when Palestinian workers started to enter Israel in significant numbers, most of them employed as manual labourers in the agriculture and construction industries.
Typically, the workers lose a fifth of their salary in deductions that are supposed to cover old age payments, unemployment allowance, disability insurance, child benefits, trade union fees, pension fund, holiday and sick pay, and health insurance. In practice, however, the workers are entitled only to disability payments in case of work accidents and are insured against loss of work if their employer goes bankrupt.
According to the report, compiled by two human rights groups, the Alternative Information Centre and Kav La’Oved, only a fraction of the total contributions – less than eight per cent – was used to award benefits to Palestinian workers. The rest was secretly transferred to the finance ministry.
The Israeli organisations assess that the workers were defrauded of at least $2.25bn in today’s prices, in what they describe as a minimum and "very conservative" estimate of the misappropriation of the funds. Such a sum represents about 10 per cent of the PA’s annual budget.
The authors also note that they excluded from their calculations two substantial groups of Palestinian workers – those employed in the Jewish settlements and those working in Israel’s black economy – because figures were too hard to obtain.
Mr Hever said the question of whether the bulk of the deductions – those for national insurance – had been illegally taken from the workers was settled by the Israeli High Court back in 1991. The judges accepted a petition from the flower growers’ union that the government should return about $1.5 million in contributions from Palestinian workers in the industry.
"The legal precedent was set then and could be used to reclaim the rest of these excessive deductions," he said.
At the height of Palestinian participation in the Israeli labour force, in the early 1990s, as many as one in three Palestinian workers was dependent on Israeli employers.
Israel continued requiring contributions from Palestinian workers after the creation of the Palestinian Authority in 1994, arguing that it needed to make the deductions to ensure Israeli workers remained competitive.
However, the report notes that such practices were supposed to have been curbed by the Oslo process. Israel agreed to levy an "equalisation tax" – equivalent to the excessive contributions paid by Palestinians – a third of which would be invested in a fund that would later be available to the workers.
In fact, however, the Israeli State Comptroller, a government watchdog official, reported in 2003 that only about a tenth of the money levied on the workers had actually been invested in the fund.
The finance ministry has admitted that most of the money taken from the workers was passed to Israeli military authorities in the Palestinian territories to pay for "infrastructure programmes". Hannah Zohar, the director of Kav La’Oved who co-authored the report, said she believed that the ministry was actually referring to the construction of illegal settlements.
The report is also highly critical of the Histadrut, Israel’s trade union federation, which it accuses of grabbing "a piece of the pie" by forcing Palestinian workers to pay a monthly "organising fee" to the union since 1970, even though Palestinians are not entitled to membership.
Despite the Histadrut’s agreement with its Palestinian counterpart in 2008 to repay the fees, only 20 per cent was returned, leaving $30m unaccounted for.
The Histadrut was also implicated in another "rip-off", said Mr Hever. It agreed in 1990 to the Israeli construction industry’s demand that Palestinian workers pay an extra two per cent tax to promote the training of recent Jewish immigrants, most of them from the former Soviet Union.
Mr Hever said that in effect the Palestinian labourers were required to "subsidise the training of workers meant to replace them". The funds were never used for the stated purpose but were mainly issued as grants to the families of Israeli workers.
In one especially cynical use of the funds, the report notes, the money was spent on portable stoves for soldiers involved in Israel’s three-week attack on Gaza last year.
In response, the finance ministry called the report "incorrect and misleading", and the Histadrut claimed it was "full of lies". However, neither provided rebuttals of the report’s allegations or its calculations.
Mr Hever said the government body responsible for making the deductions, the department of payments, had initially refused to divulge any of its figures, but had partly relented after some statistics were made available through leaks from its staff.
Assef Saeed, a senior official in the Palestinian Authority’s labour ministry, said the PA was keen to discuss the issue of the deductions, but that talks were difficult because of the lack of contacts between the two sides.

GRP peace panel hit in Western Mindanao by Hasan Hattab
Some people in Western Mindanao hit the government's peace panel for deviating from what were agreed upon during the agenda setting held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia last December 8-9, 2009.
One school teacher from Sulu, who requested anonymity for security reasons, said, “the government again returned to its old tactics of reneging from what were previously agreed upon by both panels. The Bangsamoro people are almost pushed to the wall and they do not have any more places to go to except to do anything within their own capacity and limitation.
In August 2008, armed conflict between the Philippine military and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front broke out in the provinces of North Cotabato, Maguindanao and even in Basilan due to the aborted signing of the MOA-AD which was already initialed by both panels but the government refused to sign it. As a result of the conflict, more than half million innocent civilians were displaced while some of them were even rendered homeless.
The draft of the government on comprehensive compact offering the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) for the MILF is an old tactics of the government to renege from what were previously agreed upon.
“The Muslims in Western Mindanao are already fed up of the government's delaying tactics in solving the Mindanao problem. Perhaps it is now high time for the entire Bangsamoro people to wake up and prepare themselves to go to war should the government keep on reneging from previous agreement and continue fooling around,” the teacher said.
He added that “for almost 40 years now, the Bangsamoro people are trying to achieve peace by talking with the Philippine government. But it seems that the government is continuously fooling the Bangsamoro people while at the same time receiving huge amount from donor countries to help the ravaged Mindanao.”
“Enough is enough,” another civilian said.
“We cannot anymore afford to swallow the government's treatment for the Muslims in Mindanao. It is our message to the Philippine government that it should change its attitude if, indeed, it is wants for peace in Mindanao.
With 47 journalists in jail, Iran sets notorious records
Committee to Protect Journalists
Febraury 3, 2010
New York, February 3, 2010—Iranian authorities are now holding at least 47 journalists in prison, more than any single country has imprisoned since 1996, according to a new survey by the Committee to Protect Journalists. While many of the detainees were arrested in the aftermath of the disputed June presidential election, CPJ’s survey found that authorities are continuing to wage an aggressive campaign to round up independent and opposition journalists. At least 26 journalists have been jailed in the last two months alone, CPJ found.
The number of jailed journalists is the highest CPJ has recorded in a single country since December 1996, when it documented 78 imprisonments in Turkey.
"The relentlessness of the press crackdown in Iran demonstrates that authorities continue to fear new ideas and information," said CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon. "Our goal is not simply to document the brutality, but to let the government know that the world is watching."
Mashallah Shamsolvaezin (AP)
CPJ’s findings are based on a census of imprisoned Iranian journalists conducted on February 1. The survey is a snapshot of those incarcerated on that date. It does not include more than 50 other journalists in Iran who have been imprisoned and released on bail over the last several months. Five of those now in jail were detained prior to the 2009 crackdown.
The current detainees include internationally known figures such as Emadeddin Baghi, the author and human rights defender, and Mashallah Shamsolvaezin, an award-winning editor and press advocate. They also include journalists such as Mohammad Davari, an editor who helped expose prisoner abuse at the KahrizakDetentionCenter, and Shiva Nazar Ahari, a human rights reporter who has been jailed twice in the last eight months.
Emadeddin Baghi (AFP)
In most cases, authorities have filed vague antistate charges such as "propagation against the regime," insulting authorities, and disrupting public order. But many cases are shrouded in secrecy, without even formal charges being disclosed.
Some detainees have already been sentenced to lengthy prison terms, lashes, internal exile, and lifetime bans on writing and other social and political activities. One is on death row. The cases of many others are pending. At least two face heresy charges that, upon conviction, would bring the death penalty.
In light of the Iranian government’s ongoing crackdown, CPJ will conduct monthly surveys of journalists imprisoned in Iran. (CPJ normally conducts a worldwide survey of jailed journalists each December.)
Iran is now far and away the world’s leading jailer of journalists. China was holding 24 journalists behind bars when CPJ conducted its worldwide census on December 1, 2009. CPJ research shows the number in China has remained stable since that time.
Mujahideen bombings and attacks in Helmand kill 5 U.S soldiers, wound some
Thursday, 04 February 2010 09:28 By Qari Yusouf Ahmadi
HELMAND, Feb. - At least 5 U.S soldiers were killed and a dozen injured in Helmand's Nad Ali district on Wednesday.
According to the details, the Americans came under attack as they were, earlier in the morning,
dropped off by the helicopter in the area where some 4 detonations ripped through, as a result of the explosions and Mujahideen's attacks the above fatalities and casualties were inflicted on the American troops throughout Wednesday.
Meantime, a Mujahid as well as a civilian were hurt during this operation.
Later in the evening, the U.S troops, having left the battle zone, were about to carry out fresh operations against the Mujahideen elsewhere in this district in Khush Haal village when they encountered another blast, while in the same area on Tuesday morning (today) a landmine exploded to the Afghan-coalition forces while on a demining operation.
The report indicates, some 4 U.S and Afghan soldiers took loss of life and injuries in both bombings.
Haitian Prime Minister Jean Max Bellerive said on Tuesday that the death toll of the devastating earthquake that shook the country on Jan. 12, rose to 200,000.
Bellerive gave the figure during a report presentation at the Senate and he added that the figure does not include those victims that still are under the rubble and those who were buried by their relatives. During his report, Bellerive also said that the structure of the Haitian government has to change in order to face the crisis aroused by the magnitude-7.0 earthquake. 60 percent of the gross domestic product of Haiti was destroyed in 35 seconds, Bellerive said.

Missiles fired by suspected US drones have killed at least 17 people and wounded many more in Pakistan, residents and security officials say.
Officials said the missiles rained down on Dattakhel village in the Degan area of North Waziristan, part of Pakistan's semi-autonomous tribal region near the Afghan border, on Tuesday.
They said the missiles struck suspected fighters' hideouts and a training centre.
Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder, reporting from Islamabad, the Pakistani capital, said there were reports that up to 19 missiles had been fired.
"This would be the first time you get a co-ordinated attack by such a large group of drones since the attacks against targets inside Pakistan began.
"Seventeen people have been reported killed. However, there is mounting fear that the death toll could be at least over two dozen or even cross 30."
Locals were digging dead and wounded out of the debris.

Missiles hit a compound allegedly used by Taliban fighters in Muhammad Khel, a town in North Waziristan.
The identities of those killed in the attack were not immediately known.
A series of drone raids have been carried out this month in North Waziristan, home to fighters loyal to the Taliban, al-Qaeda and the Haqqani network.
The US never confirms drone attacks, but its forces in neighbouring Afghanistan and the Central Intelligence Agency are the only ones known to use the unmanned aircraft capable of firing missiles.
The attacks have often resulted in civilian deaths, stirring anger among Pakistanis and even bolstering support for the Taliban and anti-US sentiment.
Al Shabab Mujahideen in Somalia preparing for global Jihad
Mogadishu, Somalia, Feb. 2010:
As a young Mujahid leads Al Shabab Mujahideen as they conduct military exercises in northern Mogadishu's Suqaholaha neighborhood, Somalia, on Friday Jan. 1, 2010, Al-Shabab's senior Mujahideen official said the young Mujahideen are among hundreds of young Muslims who have recently completed Jihad training to join the global Jihad against the enemies of Allah.
Al-Shabab Mujahideen paraded through the streets of Somalia's capital Mogadishu, after the Sheikh and Mujahid Mukhtar Robow Abu Mansour (Hafidhullah) said on Friday that Al-Shabab is ready to send reinforcement to our Muslim brothers in Yemen to fight against the aggression of American Zionist Crusaders and their Stooges, and he urged other Muslims to follow suit.
"We tell our Muslim brothers in Yemen that we will cross the water between us and reach your place to assist you fight the enemy of Allah," Sheikh Abu Mansour announced on Friday at the graduation ceremony for the hundreds of newly trained Mujahideen in north Mogadishu.
"Today you see what is happening in Yemen, the enemy of Allah is destroying your Muslim brothers, I call upon the young men in the Muslim and Arab lands to join the fight there." Abu Mansour (may Allah Protect him) added.
Bethlehem – Ma'an – Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes on at least two targets in the southern Gaza Strip overnight, witnesses said and the Israeli military confirmed.
Three Palestinians were reportedly wounded and three others reported missing shortly after six separate strikes, which targeted the Yasser Arafat International Airport in Dahaniya and a tunnel along the Gaza-Egypt border.
Israeli forces launched the strikes "in response for the attempted naval attacks in southern Israel and recent rocket attacks," an Israeli military spokesman said in a statement over the phone.
The official added that the army confirmed direct hits on both targets, which he alleged included a tunnel used for smuggling weapons and a "terror tunnel" on the border meant for carrying out attacks in Israel.
"The IDF holds the Hamas terrorist organization responsible for maintaining the calm in the communities in southern Israel and will respond to any attempts to disrupt the calm," the spokesman told Ma'an.
A homemade projectile landed in an open area in the Eshkol Regional Council in southern Israel on Tuesday afternoon, Israeli media reported. Residents heard a loud blast at around 3pm and a Color Red siren was sounded, the Hebrew-language daily daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported. No damage or injuries were reported.
On Monday, two explosive devices were reportedly found on separate beaches in southern Israel. Israeli security sources linked the discoveries to an announcement by a coalition of Palestinian operatives who told Ma'an they launched eight shells at the port of Ashkelon between 29-30 January.
That attack was said to be in response to the assassinations of three prominent Fatah operatives in Nablus in late December, which Israel said was in retaliation for the shooting death of a West Bank settler leader.

We have known that the System of Democracy or "Religion of Democracy" had been developed by "America" together with the other zionist/crusaders alliances who are in power. Besides that, they also invented the system of pluralism, liberalism, communism, socialism and capitalism to support that religion of democracy. They endavored to build a world civilization with that liberalist system and capitalist economy. However, what has happened is that, they have failed to build a World Civilization that is successful and prosperous. On the contrary, they all have ruined the life on this earth. From the issue of unemployment to other issues of social life, in fact even in the issue of environment such as the conservation of nature and its natural resources, all have been ruined by them. These are the facts that are happening when the kafirs are in power.
