Al-Jazeera has just announced that the Egyptian military junta is: a) Re-activating “emergency laws” including b) Indefinite detention without trial c) State Security court trials Well, now the regime is showing its true face. It remains to be seen if it has the means to crush the people. Either way, the hatred for the Israel and the USA will only become deeper and more widespread. The Zionists are really in
First, it was Erdogan who declared that henceforth the Turkish Navy would escort ships headed for Gaza with humanitarian aid. It sounds fantastic, of course, but its all hot air. Turkey is not going to confront the Israelis on the high seas because their US masters will simply not allow that. Still, it says something about the public opinion in Turkey. But the really amazing thing is what happened in
In preparation for the 10th anniversary of September 11th attacks, the Anti-Defamation League went on the offensive with a long article entitled “Decade of Deceit: Anti-Semitic 9/11 Conspiracy Theories 10 Years Later“, a very interesting piece indeed which I urge you call to carefully read. FYI, on of the persons the ADL mentions, wrote a reply in the form of an open letter to Abe Foxman, the ADL director. Anyway,

by Glenn Greenwald for Salon.comOver the past several years, the Justice Department has increasingly attempted to criminalize what is clearly protected political speech by prosecuting numerous individuals (Muslims, needless to say) for disseminating political views the government dislikes or considers threatening. The latest episode emerged on Friday, when the FBI announced the arrest and indictment of Jubair Ahmad, a 24-year-old Pakistani legal resident living in Virginia, charged with “providing material
by Dr Paul Craig Roberts for Infowars It is Labor Day weekend, 2011, but labor has nothing to celebrate. The jobs that once gave American workers a stake in capitalism have left and gone away. Corporations in pursuit of near-term profits have moved labor’s jobs to China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, South Korea and Eastern Europe. Labor arbitrage, that is, the substitution of foreign labor that is paid less than its
by Maximilian C. Forte for Counterpunch Since Colonel Gaddafi has lost his military hold in the war against NATO and the insurgents/rebels/new regime, numerous talking heads have taken to celebrating this war as a “success”. They believe this is a “victory of the Libyan people” and that we should all be celebrating. Others proclaim victory for the “responsibility to protect,” for “humanitarian interventionism,” and condemn the “anti-imperialist left”. Some of
(many thanks to I. for pointing me to this article – S) By Yusuf Dhai-Allah for Crescent International online Successive US regimes have claimed that al-Qaeda is their enemy number one and that no effort would be spared in costs or human lives to eliminate it. Does empirical evidence support this claim? Let us examine the facts. The US and its allies are involved in a brutal campaign to oust
Al-Jazeera is biased beyond any hope about the NATO war against Libya, and they are a de-facto active propaganda mouthpiece for pro-NATO Gulf States, but nonetheless, this discussion is interesting as it does reveal that al-Qaeda and Algeria are on a collision course with Libya now playing a role similar to what Pakistan plays in Afghanistan: a safe-heaven for al-Qaeda types. Anyway – listen to the discussion, and “read between
The first act of international diplomacy of the new regime in Tripoli? Declare that granting refuge to Gaddafi’s family is, quote, an “act of aggression”. A spokesman for the new regime, Mahmoud Shamman, told Reuters. “We are warning anybody not to shelter Gadhafi and his sons. We are going after them … to find them and arrest them.” Sure sounds like a threat to me.
I take refuge in Allah from the stoned devil. In The Name of Allah, The Compassionate, The Most Merciful. Peace be upon our Master and Prophet – the Seal of prophets – Abi Al Qassem Mohammad and on his chaste and pure Household, his chosen companions and on all prophets and messengers.Allah Al Mighty says in the Qoran: “So when the second of the warnings came to pass, (we permitted
In the meantime, the EU is investigating the other “democratic” US/NATO ally in the Mediterranean region: the KLA and its leader, Hashim Thaci for, of all things, Israeli-style organ trafficking. Just like the Israelis harvested organs from their Palestinian victims, the Kosovo Albanians harvested organs from their Serbian victims. The report was based on a two-year investigation led by special rapporteur Dick Marty, and it named Mr Thaci – who
Dear friends, What Col. Gaddafi had been saying from day 1, and what all too many observers have dismissed, now turns out to have been true: al-Qaeda elements appear to be in charge of the anti-Gaddafi insurgency. Furthermore, there is also a strong probability that Gaddafi and these Wahabis have struck some kind of deal allowing Gaddafi to flee from Tripoli. Check these last three posts for details: http://10.16.86.131/an-interesting-theory-about-that-took-place-in-bab-al-azizia/ http://10.16.86.131/al-qaeda-asset-leading-rebels-in-tripoli/
By Pepe Escobar for the Asia Times online His name is Abdelhakim Belhaj. Some in the Middle East might have, but few in the West and across the world would have heard of him. Time to catch up. Because the story of how an al-Qaeda asset turned out to be the top Libyan military commander in still war-torn Tripoli is bound to shatter – once again – that wilderness of
Fabri Malek, spokesperson of the Libyan Democratic Party, went on the Iranian Press TV channel and presented an interesting theory about what actually happened in Bab al-Azizia: Malek: It is all over for Gaddafi, there is no doubt about that. What happened is a result of a deal [that] Gaddafi cut with the fundamentalists, with the Islamists, about three weeks ago and Seif al-Islam was telling us about it that
Well, its not like I ever doubted that Muammar Gaddafi was crazy, so this is not big news to me. And, frankly, its too long and too discombobulated to publish in its entirety here, but here is the link to the “letter to the world” from the “Leader of the Green Committees Movement” (sic). You can read it here: http://www.mathaba.net/news/?x=628250 should that site be taken down by some over-zealous NATO
According to the Sydney Morning Herald (dunno how reliable this paper is), UK SAS teams are leading a hunt to capture Gaddafi and a 1.6 million dollar bounty has been put on his head. According to NPR (aka “Neocon Public Radio” – reliability: zero), an “international effort” (nice euphemism for “intervention”) is underway to capture Gaddafi, and the bounty is at 2 million dollars. I can only suppose that they
