Possible signs of real changes in the Russian security and elite military forces

One of the more exotic technologies for tracking deeply submerged submarines consists of using a satellite based radar to measure the tiny elevation of the water surface of the ocean above an otherwise well hidden and silently moving submarine.  Some less exotic techniques including detecting wakes, tiny differences in water temperatures, magnetic fluctuations and many other “indirect” methods.  What I propose to do today is something similar: to try to

Statement From the Family of Osama bin Laden

I Omar Ossama Binladin and my brothers the lawful children and heirs of the Ossama Binladin (OBL) have noted wide coverage of the news of the death of our father, but we are not convinced on the available evidence in the absence of dead body, photographs, and video evidence that our natural father is dead. Therefore, with this press statement, we seek such conclusive evidence to believe the stories published

Sacrilege, rape, torture, murder and other atrocities continue in Bahrain

by Zafar Bangash for Crescent International Saudi-Bahraini atrocities against peaceful protesters Given its tiny size (1.215 million population and 290 sq. miles of territory), Bahrain would not warrant a second glance yet its un-elected, tribal rulers rub shoulders with leaders at the world stage. Originally from Kuwait, the Khalifah family moved to Bahrain displacing Banu ‘Utbah nearly 200 years ago. Since then, the Khalifahs have ruled the tiny island as

Dominical audio-visual smörgåsbord

First, an extremely interesting interview of Julian Assange on RT TV. For those who still insist on believing that Assange is an agent of the New World Order and Wikileaks a US government false flag psyop operation, please contact me ASAP. I have a bridge for sale in NY. Next, and totally unrelated to the above – check out the Wahabi crazies in Gaza: Lest anybody think that the only

Morderchai Vanunu wants his Israeli citizenship revoked

The Israeli Committee for A Middle East Free of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Arms Press release, May 7, 2011 Morderchai Vanunu demands to apply a recently passed law and revoke his Israeli citizenship. “I have no interest in Israeli citienship, I don’t want to go on living here”. To Mr. Eli Yishai, Minister of the Interior, 2 Kaplan Street, Hakirya, Jerusalem Re: Revocation of Citizenship I am Mordechai Vanunu, who

Time Magazine ghoulish propaganda

Infantile, stupid, ghoulish – this is the propaganda style of the US corporate media’s flagship Time Mag.  Remember how in 2001 Time put that idiot Guiliani as man of the year instead of OBL?  Or how in 2010 they put that “ethnically correct” Mark Zukerberg and not Julian Assange?  Well, OBL finally did make it to Time’s front cover.  He is now the forth “official US villain” to be crossed

Barak Obama insults the US military (but will anybody notice?)

According to the BBC, Barak Obama met the soldiers which killed OBL and praised their mission as “one of the greatest military operations in our nation’s history”.   Now, readers of this blog will no doubt have noticed that I am not exactly a big admirer of the US military.  And yet, there is no denying the US military did fight – and win – some major and very difficult battles

Lack of change we can all believe in

So Obama, having betrayed every promise he ever made, was in a popularity free fall for a looooooong time already.  Then he decided to announce that he would seek a second term.  That did littele to improve his ratings.  Then OBL was “killed” (on Holocaust Day!) while Obama was about to depart for a trip to New York to visit “ground zero”.  That did the trick and his popularity jumped

How stupid does the US regime think that we all are?

A small team of Americans carried out the operation with extraordinary courage and capability. No Americans were harmed. They took care to avoid civilian casualties. After a firefight, they killed Osama Bin Laden and took custody of his body (…) We give thanks for the men who carried out this operation, for they exemplify the professionalism, patriotism, and unparalleled courage of those who serve our country Barak Obama All this

Bin Laden’s daughter confirms her father shot dead by US Special Forces in Pakistan

Al Arabiya News reports: Senior Pakistani security officials said Osama bin Laden’s daughter had confirmed her father was captured alive and shot dead by the US Special Forces during the first few minutes of the operation carried out at the huge compound in Bilal Town, Abbottabad. 
 
 Besides recovering four bullet-riddled bodies from the compound, Pakistani security agencies also arrested two women and six children, aged between 2 and

“Osama Bin Laden is Dead” by David Rovics

It was a commando operation of courage and skill Navy Seal helicopters flew in for the kill They had a firefight and they shot him in the head Now the mastermind of terror, Bin Laden is dead For all those who love freedom it’s a glorious day In DC and New York they’re chanting USA Fatherless children clutching teddy bears Legless veterans with catheters and wheelchairs Can all rejoice that

Was he betrayed? Of course. Pakistan knew Bin Laden’s hiding place all along

by Robert Fisk for the Independent A middle-aged nonentity, a political failure outstripped by history – by the millions of Arabs demanding freedom and democracy in the Middle East – died in Pakistan yesterday. And then the world went mad. Fresh from providing us with a copy of his birth certificate, the American President turned up in the middle of the night to provide us with a live-time death certificate

Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood:”Islam is not Bin Laden”

Unlike Hamas, the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood does not not believe that OBL is a “holy warrior” to be counted with the “true believers and martyrs”.  In fact, in a blunt comment, Mahmud Ezzat, the Brotherhood’s number two, told AFP that “Islam is not Bin Laden(…) After September 11, there had been a lot of confusion. Terrorism was mixed up with Islam (…) In the coming phase, everyone will be looking

And now, a few words from a “rabbi cum spiritual life examiner”

by rabbi Ben Kamin, self-described “spiritual life examiner” Osama appropriately dies on Holocaust Remembrance Day God bless the courageous American servicemen and women who masterminded, directed, and fulfilled the special operation in Pakistan that put an end to one of the most sinister human beings who ever lived. We are thankful that our soldiers departed the scene without shedding any of their own blood. We note the brilliance of disposing

Hamas never misses a beat (to do something wholly self-defeating, again)

Oh boy, just when I was considering the possibility that Hamas might not be its own worst enemy, came this: Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh (allegedly) said: “We condemn the assassination and the killing of an Arab holy warrior. We ask God to offer him mercy with the true believers and the martyrs“. Now, of course all sinners should be prayed for, and it is perfectly wise and good to ask

OBL disappears AGAIN?

From the BBC: US officials said Bin Laden was shot in the head after resisting. US media reports said that the body was buried at sea to conform with Islamic practice of a burial within 24 hours and to prevent any grave becoming a shrine. Very “pious”, of course, but also very convenient. Is anybody else smelling a rat here?
