Mitt Romney – the man who makes even Dubya look educated, articulate and smart

Priceless no? Though that cretin pretty much gets everything wrong, I fundamentally agree with at least one of his key points: a two-state solution is neither possible nor morally acceptable. The only solution is ONE state, called Palestine.  As for the “Zionist regime occupying Jerusalem” must, of course, “vanish from the page of time” as Ayatollah Khomeini so accurately put it. God willing, soon. The Saker

The Moslem World’s Rage; Justified or Misplaced?

by Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich  Media outlets are abuzz with news of the Moslem world’s rage over the release of the provocative film “Innocence of Moslems”. Pundits are quick to condemn the protests across 20 nations, and the gullible and callous citizens of the “West”, mimicking pundits who are paid to mislead and misinform, are placing the blame on the aggrieved Moslem community – they simply don’t understand how “free speech” works

Russia is considering shutting down YouTube

According to the very official Rossiiskaia Gazeta quoting the Russian Minister of Communications the Kremlin is seriously considering shutting down YouTube.  They could do that under a new law called “On the defense of children against information which can damage their health or development”.  Furthermore, the Russian agency in charge of communications has already demanded that Internet service providers block the streaming of “Innocence of Muslims” on the grounds that

First impressions – and misgivings – in reaction to Hassan Nasrallah’s speech today

I have been studying Hezbollah since 1995 and I don’t recall Hassan Nasrallah ever delivering such a strongly worded warning as what he did today at the “Prophet Loyalty Rally”.  I might be mistaken, but I see several unprecedented elements in his speech today: 1.  First, he clearly and unambiguously threated the USA and its Empire by stating that the consequences for releasing the full movie “Innocence of Muslims” would

Extremely strong words by Hassan Nasrallah at the “Prophet Loyalty Rally “

These are uncharacteristically strong words form the Hezbollah leader and I wonder if that is not also a way of preparing the Middle-East for a US attack on Iran. In the meantime, one of the most pathetic US puppets in Lebanon, Amin Gemayel, actually took the risk of condemning Hassan Nasrallah and, once again, that just makes me marvel at systematic way the Lebanese Phalangists always end up on the

Musings on Pussy Riot , “Sam Bacile” and modern “blasphemers”

Having forced myself to watch the full “performance” of Pussy Riot’s “punk prayer” and “Sam Bacile”‘s short movie “Innocence of Muslims” I want to share with you some thoughts I had on issue of blasphemy. Wikipedia defines blasphemy as “the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for a religious deity or the irreverence towards religious or holy persons or things“. Dictionary.com offers this definition: “impious utterance

Statement of the Head of the Islamic Republic of Iran Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei

In the name of Allah the most Gracious, most Merciful Allah the Dear an the Wise said: “Fain would they extinguish Allah’s light with their mouths, but Allah will not allow but that His light should be perfected, even though the Unbelievers may detest.” O Iranian people, o Islamic Ummah The vicious hands of the enemies of Islam had once again uncovered it’s malice by offending the noble prophet (PBUH);

A Coptic trail to a “flase flag movie”?

Today the net is full of articles expressing doubts about the fact that the person behind the latest anti-Islamic movie is a US-Israeli Jew.  A Coptic/Egyptian trail is often mentioned.  Various sources also doubt the 5 million dollar figure for the production of the movie. All these rumors can be tracked to one source: a, quote, “Christian activist” named Steve Klein, I kid you not… Does that mean that the

And in the meantime, American Jews are fueling anti-US hatred in the Muslim world.

An American-Israeli Jew, Sam Bacile, gets 100 of his pals to donate 5 million dollars to make an anti-Muslim movie which is aired on YouTube and gets 2 US embassies stormed and 4 US diplomats killed.  True, some “Egyptian Coptic activist” called Morris Sadek also appears to be involved because the movie begins with a scene with Egyptian police beating Coptic Christians.  No doubt, Sam Bacile and his pals really

Why a US attack on Iran is inevitable

Over the past few months there appears to be a dramatic rise in the number of articles, opinions and rumors discussing the likelihood of a US and/or Israeli military attack on Iran.  Even the Israeli press is now regularly reporting various opinions about the desirability, or not, of such an attack while keeping a rolling tally of those officials who favor and oppose, often in very strong terms, such an

Full interview of Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah with Al-Mayadeen TV, September 3rd, 2012

Asch experiment at the Democratic Convention or ZOG in action

Thanks to a recent comment by a reader (see here and here)  my attention was draw to this absolutely amazing event described like so by Ali Abunimah on the Electronic Intifada website: An extraordinary thing happened at the Democratic National Convention today. The official party platform for 2012 left out a reference that “Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel” that was in the 2008 version. Under pressure

California passes resolution defining criticism of Israel as anti-Semitism

By Tom Carter for the World Socialist Website Last month, the California State Assembly passed a resolution urging state educational institutions to more aggressively crack down on criticism of the State of Israel on campuses, which the resolution defines as “anti-Semitism.” The anti-democratic resolution is the latest step in the broader campaign to stifle and suppress dissent on California’s increasingly volatile campuses. The California State Assembly is the lower house

Why the Russians are not coming, not even covertly

In a recent comments thread Carlo has pointed out that there is a campaign to murder non-Wahabi Muslims in Russia to which Lysander added that “perhaps it should be Russian policy to seek the overthrow of the Saudi royal family. Perhaps not openly stated, but maybe the should start a covert program of destabilization against KSA. Surely there are some former KGB officers who remember how to do these things?

ALBA, UNASUR and even OAS – all reaffirm the primacy of international law

Okay, not all of them quite to the same degree.  If ALBA and UNASUR clearly and unconditionally backed Ecuador, the OAS passed only a vague, lukewarm and non-specific resolution.  So what?  Everybody knows that the OAS is Anglo-controlled.  But even though the USA opposed the meeting, it had to agree to the resolution passed on the condition that it made no specific reference to the UK.  Fair enough – that
