The Shanghai Daily reports: Iran’s Ambassador to Russia Seyyed Mahmoud Reza Sajjadi said Iran has filed a lawsuit against Russia at the International Court of Justice over Moscow’s refusal to ship S-300 air defense systems to Tehran, the local satellite Press TV reported on Thursday. “Legally, we believe the shipment of S-300 system is not subject to the UN Security Council resolution so we filed our lawsuit, hoping the International
by Franklin Lamb for CounterPunch This observer’s tentative appraisal of Tuesday’s events along the north Tripoli port area as of late afternoon 8/23/11 is that the “65,000 well trained and well-armed troops” hyped Sunday by the Gaddafi government don’t in fact exist and that the pockets of government troops here in Tripoli and across Libya that do, will continue to resist what it views as NATO aggression designed to usurp
Okay, maybe al-Jazeera is too biased against the Gaddafi regime to credibly report facts on the ground. But this time the information is also confirmed by Russian and Iranian sources (nevermind the entire Western press corps): the Gaddafi compound in Tripoli has been taken and pro-Gaddafi forces appear to be on the retreat. Whatever the possible tactical moves, there is exactly zero evidence that Saif al-Islam’s boasting about ‘having lured
Comment: I have no idea of what is really going on in Tripoli or the rest of Libya. The only thing which is clear is that NATO and its local puppets are lying through their teeth about the reality of the situation. It might well be that tomorrow I will wake up to hear about the complete triumph of the anti-Gaddafi forces. But if what Saif al-Islam says is true,
by Gilad Atzmon I have been monitoring the Hebrew press for the last three days and it is increasingly obvious to me and others, that no one out there, including Israeli top analysts, understands where the current escalation is leading. However, a few things are becoming clear: 1. The so-called ‘Jewish spring’, known also as the Israeli ‘tents protest’, has been easily dismantled. The Israelis seems to be far more
Ladies and dear sisters! Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.I thank you all for your presence on this occasion on the holy Month of Ramadan in which the Women’s Branch in the Islamic Resistance Support Association in Lebanon gathers us. I extend my regards to all the presence in the six different places: in Beirut in Sayyeda Khadeja Charity, Baalbeck, Saida, Tyr, Nabatiyeh and Tiri. We ask
I recently had to drive to my local airport to pick up my son who was returning from a trip to Argentina and this provided me with the interesting “opportunity” to try out for myself the “enhanced pat-down” TSA experience. I want to share this experience with you. Luckily, on that day my wife had come with me, so I could leave with her the two “prohibited items” I always
So goes one of the fundamental laws of physics. In the face of recent “actions” in the West — economic crisis and rampant Islamophobia, there is an inexorable “reaction”, as the eternal values of Islam continue to manifest themselves, notes Eric Walberg Ramadan exemplifies the powerful spiritual calling of Islam. Dry fasting is more a test of the spirit, the will, proof of devotion, than just some health gimmick.
I wanted to write a long article for a while already, but I just don’t have the time. So I will pass on a few things I want to share with you, in no particular order, bullet-style presentation. Ubuntu is undergoing a serious crisis from which it is unlikely to recover. Without going into many details, let’s just say that Mark Shuttleworth has openly stated that the Unity, the default
Londres flambe, Londres flambe, Quelle affaire, quelle affaire, Au feu ! Au feu ! Pas d’eau, rien à faire. French children’s song First, there were the riots in France. Then the riots spread to other countries, Spain, Greece, and now the Britain. As I sit and watch the various news reports I am amazed to see to what degree they are all missing the point and misreading the nature of
Dear friends, I just got this email from Gilad. I ask you to do what I just did myself: pre-order his book. That is the best way to make sure that the Zionist will fail in their attempt to prevent its publication. This is really the least we can do (its only 10 bucks!) Many thanks, The Saker ——- Hello everybody, My new book, “The Wandering Who? A Study Of
(thanks to L. for pointing out this article to me! The Saker) By Paul Craig Roberts In my recent article, “Creating Evidence Where There Is None,” about the alleged killing of Osama bin Laden by a commando team of US Seals in Abbottabad, Pakistan, I provided a link to a Pakistani National TV interview with Muhammad Bashir, who lives next door to the alleged “compound” of Osama bin Laden. I
By Elias Davidsson for Truthjihad A new religious movement was born September 11th, 2001. This movement was conceived by the American government and comprises many members of the American and European elite, politicians, editors of mass and so-called alternative media, publishers and academics. The movement’s unifying faith is the legend of 9/11, namely that 19 Arab terrorists hijacked four airliners and flew these airliners into the known landmarks in a
By Patrick Cockburn for The Independent In keeping with the British Government’s well-established record of comical ineptitude in dealing with Libya, William Hague chose to recognise the rebel leaders in Benghazi as the legitimate government of the country at the very moment some of them may have been shooting or torturing to death their chief military commander. The exact circumstances surrounding the killing of General Abdel Fattah Younes remain murky,
Commentary by Jillian York for the EFF pseu·do·nym[sood-n-im]–noun a fictitious name used by an author to conceal his or her identity; pen name. There are myriad reasons why individuals may wish to use a name other than the one they were born with.
