The Manifest of the American People for the 21st century.
Like: “The Entire Americana continent must be in the control and hegemony of the USA”
Posted on September 28, 2008
We all know by now that the September 11, 2001 attack on the Twin Towers and its consequences in Iraq, Afghanistan and the Muslim World in general were the events of the decade.
We do feel deep in our guts that the fall of Wall Street and its consequences would be the events of the century. The fall of the last bastion of unbridled capitalism is shaking the World economy and sending strong Tsunami waves to the global finance and investment institutions all around.
The US Federal government is nationalizing the major banks, the foundation and symbol of greedy capitalism.
For the time being, the Federal government has bailed out AIG and then nationalized banks, like for example Goldman & Sacks and G.P. Morgan who have the task of purchasing the remaining failing financial institutions.
Since when the two relatively puny latter institutions could purchase Washington Mutual and other giants for a nickel? What organizations are behind Goldman & Sacks and G.P. Morgan to obtain formal nomination of the US Federal government for the nationalization process?
It is well documented that minor cataclysms generate abundance of investigation and public coverage, but the coverage of seismic cataclysms that are financial in nature are relegated to professional manuscripts that the general public would not touch with a long pole.
Did anyone read any serious coverage of the financial repercussions of the September 11 nightmare?
Quickly a war plan was set up and the people galvanized against an “Evil” enemy and then the financial problems were swept under the rug.
Or do you know of the causes of the bankruptcy of the energy giant ENRON? If anyone comprehend the causes of the fall of Wall Street. then please disseminate your knowledge profusely and immediately, in words understood by the common people.
One hint though; follows the money trails and you will catch the head criminals.
Astute Warren Buffet has already invested 5 billions in Goldman & Sacks or 10% of the shares; thus, this is a strong lead to follow.
The most direct way for grabbing significant threads is by investigating Vice President Cheney and his inner circle: they were fundamentally following orders of the malefic financial giant organizations behind the turmoils of this decade.
I wonder though why the fall of Wall St. happened when the last bastions of communism definitely shifted gears to participate in the new world economic order!
The fall of Wall Street should have taken place shortly after September 11.
The invasion of poor Afghanistan was not credible to infuse over 4 trillion dollars into the already failing financial institutions in the USA, through fraud and the scapegoat of a major war against “terrorism”.
The Bush Administration and the behind the scene nefarious financial organizations needed to invade rich Iraq and blackmail the neighboring tiny Arab Emirate States to redirect the swindle on the largest scale through front re-construction companies such as Bechtel and Halliburton and others private security companies.
The pre-emptive war on Iraqis could not cost that much money and certainly the Iraqi people didn’t notice any beneficial change in their daily lives for six years but they are much worse everyday.
This gimmick of infusing another 700 billion dollars from the US citizens taxes is basically one of the last payments of the Federal government to the financial mega mafias.
For a year, those malefic financial mafias might lay low to ride off the catastrophe on the US people and then the same cohabitation and capitalist schemes will resume under laws cribbled with loopholes as large as elephants.
They say that everything is politics; Not in capitalist systems where political structures are fundamentally legal front for the mega financial mafias to bleed dry the citizens.
I urge the US citizens not to wait and see! If you do not do your homework now and before the 700 billions are issued and then actively revisite your political structures, then the same cycle would recur at a nastier magnitude.
Many contradictory economics school of sciences that earned Nobel Prices such as the School of Chicago, the School of Vienna and even Amartya Sen tried to interpret a few of Smith’s economic principles and his metaphor of the invisible hand.
Capitalists have usurp Adam Smith’s economic principles as their system guideline to cheat their countrymen.
Let us revisit briefly Adam Smith who published in 1776 “Investigation on the nature and causes of the wealth of Nations”.
He stated that individuals have the tendencies to invest whatever capital they own within the areas of their residence so that they could have better control over their business because they are aware of the people they can trust and the environment that can use their skills and products and the functioning of the legal system.
This process of increasing the added value of their businesses in the local commerce or inner commerce is like “an invisible hand” at work for increasing the wealth of the whole economy.
When the State risks to orient or guide an individual or moms and pops family businesses in the manner of investing his capital, it is meddling in pointless exercises since the investor is better positioned to know the kinds of activities he is fit to undertake.
Smith relied heavily on the liberal scientific economic principles of the French School of the Physiocrats and then three economic revolutions carried his manuscript as their Bible. Mainly, the French Revolution in the political debates, the industrial revolution seeking justifications for their capitalist system and lastly the scientific revolution.
Smith warned against freight commerce where the capital of an investor is divided among foreign countries and never under his control (does the stock market correspond to freight commerce?).
Thus, a businessman prefers to deal within the inner commerce over external commerce and by far over freight commerce.
How Smith’s explanations for a strong economy could ever be matched with the principles of these mega businesses that nobody even know the behind the scene power manipulators?
Maybe the climatic changes would usurp the rank of the fall of Wall Street for dire consequences in the decade after the fall of Wall Street and maybe the decision of the next US administration to lead the environmental remedies in a political gimmick to redirecting the attention of its public away from this major handicap might generate the necessary good will for behavioral change and away from this “stupid increase of consumerism growth” ideology.
Are you hopeful that the temporary fall of greedy capitalism might enhance a revival for the environment? Don’t count on it.
Only a serious movement to restructure the actual US political system with serious independent institutions to control, monitor and investigate the so-called check and balance porous institutions might offer a glimpse to the light at the end of the tunnel.
Once this mass movement is on the march then the rest of the world will back it with all its might to save this one Earth and its 8 billions inhabitants.
I sincerely expect the Chinese people, the huge continents of India, Brazil, Russia and the European Union to get the message of the pitfalls of an uncontrolled capitalist system and sever the cozy relations between their political structure and financial institutions.
Who Assassinated Lebanon’s late Rafic Hariri PM?

Who Assassinated Lebanon’s late Rafic Hariri PM? (May 26, 2009)
The German daily Der Spiegel reported excerpts from internet blogs posted by Syrian dissidents six months ago claiming that a special team of Hezbollah masterminded the assassination of late Lebanon Rafic Hariri PM. The timing of that report, which the International Tribunal denied any knowledge, was evidence that the real perpetrators were scared shit of the victory of the opposition in Lebanon at the next Parliamentary election on June 7. It meant that the opposition is not about to let the assassination case linger any longer and will pursue its own investigation or force the International Tribunal to move swiftly and close the doors to further political manipulations of that case. What exacerbated the political climate is that Lebanon has started dismantling systematically Israel’s spy webs and dangerous intelligence are accumulating relative to Israel involvement in many of the string of assassination cases in Lebanon since the murder of Rafic Hariri.in 2005. The US Vice President Biden visited Lebanon for 6 hours before the publishing of the report and met with the leaders of the government alliances. Lebanon has to expect the worst every time a US official pay us visit to give us orders.
Thanks to Walid Jumblat, one of the principal allies to the government, he quickly and adamantly lambasted this chimerical and fabricated report and proclaimed that the report was intended to draw Lebanon into another civil war between the Shiaa and the Sunni Moslem sects. Saad Hariri (leader of the Future movement) and Seniora PM were forced into suspect silence; proof that they were aware of the plan that backfired on them, a plan that is backed by Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, and the USA.
Seymour Hirsh has pronounced that former Vice President Cheney had formed a secret cell with purposes to assassinate a few leaders, including Rafic Hariri. Hassan Nasr Allah, Secretary General of Hezbollah, delivered a speech on May 25 warning the Lebanese of the seriousness of the planning to resume machinations for instigating civil war in Lebanon. Sayyed Hassan recounted the well planned dissemination process of the report. Al Arabiya news media started drawing comments on the report but the feedback was lukewarm and the session fell flat. Then, Israel’s dailies picked up the report on their front pages and the Israeli Foreign Affairs and Defense ministers urged that Nasr Allah be apprehended and delivered to the International Tribunal.
This report is timed before Israel’s all out military maneuver on May 31 and lasting 5 days. This is to be the largest and most exhaustive maneuver ever in the 61 years of the creation of the Zionist State; it should involve all Israel civil and military institutions and cover all the land.
On March 7, 2005 I wrote an article with the same title “Who assassinated Rafic Hariri?” The subsequent chapter is a copy of the article.
“Since the assassination of former Prime Minister Hariri, thousands of citizens have been gathering, every day and night, in Downtown Beirut demanding to know who assassinated Hariri. Not many believe that the government has enough credibility to investigate properly this political crime. The UN has sent a team headed by a former Irish police officer and then later, the Lebanese government asked the help of several criminal experts and investigators from Switzerland and Denmark.
So far, how the blast occurred and what kind of explosive was used is still not conclusive and pretty much vague and divergent. The government is claiming that it was a suicide car bombing done by Abu Abbass who sent a video to Al Jazira channel, one hour after the incident, claiming the responsibility of an unknown group. The government hinted that it analyzed genetically remnants of the perpetrator. A political scientist, Dr. Nakash, believes that the video is real and that two similar simple terrorist techniques were successfully used in Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Dr. Nakash produces documents published in the New York Times of many serious threats to King Fahd, owner of Al Arabiya channel and the main mentor of Hariri. Apparently, Al Arabiya was muting news on Iraq that could damage the US presence there. Thus, Saudi Arabia bribed Alawi (Iraq’s prime minister) with two billion dollars to shut down the offices of Al Jazira channel and to crack down on the militia of Al Sadr in Najjaf. Alawi executed the order effectively. Hariri was for some time following the political premises of Saudi Arabia in Iraq but had a change of position lately: It was too late.
The Hariri’s deputies in the Parliament affirm that the detonating charge was planted underground and the material is so new that the labs have failed to determine its composition until now. One of the surviving bodyguard claims that the street was clear and no visible obstructions was evident before the blast.
May be the people want to know but the powers to be, locally, regionally and internationally are not that excited to divulge the parties behind this barbaric crime. The rhetoric of President Bush, Chirac, and the European Union has already pointed the finger to Syria: an indication that any investigation is decided to be politically motivated.
It is hardly credible that any Lebanese political party is behind this assassination.
It seems that Syria has much to lose from the death of Hariri because of his wide range of connections and the many favors he enjoys with Saudi Arabia, the main financial backer of Syria and his stabilizing power within the Lebanese political system.
I am leaning toward an Israeli/US connection for several reasons:
1) The next day to the assassination, Sharon dismissed or refused to extend the appointment of Yaalon as head of the army and appointed the head of Israel secret services to replace him. Was Yaalon against this assassination decision or was he not informed and expressed his position accordingly?
2) Hariri failed many Israeli attempts to internationally cast Hezbollah as a terrorist organization and he succeeded in Europe and in France.
3) Hariri was behind snubbing Israel for the failed May 17, 1983 peace treaty agreement with Lebanon.
4) Hariri was behind the April understandings in 1997 with the direct involvement of the USA on the procedures of conducting war between Hezbollah and Israel. This agreement seriously hampered Israel in waging its devastating traditional attacks on civilians’ targets in south Lebanon and carrying out mass detentions.
5) Hariri had reversed his position on the issue of the return of the Palestinian refugees to Palestine and could certainly block any UN resolution to the contrary. For many years Hariri on purpose heavily indebted the State of Lebanon; the plan was that the Lebanese would cow and accept the residency of the Palestinians in return of the cancellation of the international debt. The pragmatic Hariri comprehended that his former plan was not feasible and agreed to reverse the indebtedness program.
6) The timing of the assassination was appropriate because Israel was under pressures to negotiate with Abu Abbass (The recently elected Palestinian prime minister). Israel wanted a free hand to pressure Abu Abbass into a flexible understanding about the refugees’ problems and Hariri could very well exercise effective counter attacks when he returned as prime minister after the April election.
7) Israel has a history of eliminating every enemy to its plans for expansion and the timing was perfect because first, Hariri was no longer a prime minister; second, the political discourse within Lebanon was very heated for blaming Syria of the many current setbacks, especially for generating the UN resolution 1559. The unfounded rumors that Hariri was behind this resolution could divert the guilt for the assassination to Syria for an extended period of time.
8) Since Israel never makes such serious decisions before receiving the green light from Washington, it is obvious that the USA government has an interest in eliminating Hariri at this junction. Hariri was to be reelected in April and be appointed prime minister again. With this international heavy weight and with his personal friendship with President Chirac of France it would be very difficult for the US to pass a resolution in the UN council to attack Syria in due time, especially after the State of Palestine is recognized internationally.
As newspapers in Israel rightly analyzed the situation, Syria is very probably not directly the guilty party in the crime, but Syria is certainly the party to pay the price and the consequences. Bashar Assad, President of Syria, gave Israel the proper ammunition and the excellent timing for his inexperience and his hubris responses to international pressures. I am certain that it is the Lebanese citizens who are and will pay the price for years to come.”
This is going to be a lengthy article. On March 31, 2005, I wrote another article on the same subject entitled “Okay, let us Cut Out the Crap, Who Killed Rafic Hariri?”
“If anyone is still waiting for the results of any kind of investigation into the assassination of Hariri, I suggest that he build himself a shack in Downtown Beirut and wait there for at least twenty years. If anyone did not get it that more than two great States are behind this assassination he better not stock up on Lebanese flags hoping for another big demonstration with the slogan of “We need the truth. Who killed our martyr Rafic?”
If anyone is still wondering why a thousand kilograms of TNT explosives are needed to assassinate Hariri, or who can stock pile that amount of explosives, or how Hariri was killed by a moving truck, or a suicide bomber, or the detonation technique used or any kind of these stupid details he sure will no more hear any of that crap anymore.
Why Yasser Arafat, the symbol of the Palestinian resistance to Zionism, had to be assassinated, in the meanest possible alternatives, by slow poisoning when even the meanest British allowed Napoleon to dictate his memoirs before dying his slow death with arsenic poisoning? Why Hariri had to be done with in pomp and in grandeur that left dozen killed, a hundred injured and part of Beirut destroyed?
Are the assassins sending an honorable farewell to the overbearing friend, the worthy enemy, the great leader who was much bigger than his tiny country? Apparently the Western Powers have set up a style coding system for eliminating leaders whose time had come and are becoming huge liabilities. I would hypothesize that the number of times the unfortunate bugger was invited officially to visit the leaders of the Western Powers and the frequency of friendship expressions are main factors for this pomp in the assassination; perhaps secondary factors such as the quality and number of citizenships he accumulated in the Western World and less probably the number of honorable degrees which were bestowed on him by universities.
Hariri died on Valentine day. What was his wife Nazek doing in Paris on that day? Was she expecting Rafic to join her in Paris or was she to return that evening to Beirut, or was she held in Paris on purpose so that she might not be a member of the deadly motorcade? Why Hariri was so happy in the morning of his death? Did he receive the good news from Chirac that Syria will be soon be withdrawing its troops but failed to warn him that his hours were counted?
Does anyone still believe that Chirac, a President of a proud country, stayed more than six hours with the Hariri’s family to mourn such a great friend of his? Or may be he is so guilt ridden that he had to shift attention somewhere else? How come France was so chummy with Israel lately as if missing an old friend and cannot stop chatting and cuddling with?
How come the US Administration has been moving its butts in and out of Lebanon and shaking them much more than it did during its Iraq invasion? How come the US Administration has been admonishing Israel to stop affirming the US agreement on its policies whether in Israel or in the Middle East?
I stated in a previous article that the USA and Israel are the culprits and provided the rationales. I stand a little corrected because I am adding a few more culprits.
The 1559 UN resolution that was sponsored by the USA and France was the tip of the iceberg of the package deal between these two States and one of the little secret in the agreement was to contract out Israel to eliminate Hariri with utmost prejudice within specific constraints on when and how. Israel was overjoyed that the opportunity finally came to erase her enemy number one off her black list. Hariri not only attempted several times to undermine Israel plans in Lebanon and in the region but succeeded hands down in all his political counter offensives against Israel and was still capable of doing Israel great damage.
Chirac was relieved from an overbearing friend who kept reminding him of what were the right things to do toward Lebanon. Chirac knew better that doing the right things is not necessarily the right political decisions at this crucial time. Chirac was paying dearly from his prestige and France political positions by opposing the persistent pressures from the European Union and the USA to list Hezbollah as one of the terrorist organizations. Hariri kept showing at the Elysee door and taking photos with Chirac that said “My dearest friend Chirac” as Egypt President Sadat used to say to Kissinger, the USA Secretary of State during Nixon, “My dear friend Henry”.
The USA and France had already agreed on plans for the Greater Middle East and time was of the essence. These plans could not succeed for certain and on time as long as Hariri is still alive and active. France, for now, is winning big: it managed to reaffirm her protectorate rights over Syria and Lebanon like during the colonial times, secured her oil rights in Iraq and removed the American veto to selling military hardware to China.
The USA is succeeding in destabilizing Syria and weakening any resolve Syria might still have to counter the plans in the Greater Middle East.
The price for Hariri’s life was certainly worth any stupid friendship that reached the stage of no return on investment but was becoming a real liability in prestige for Chirac and France geopolitical interests.
A practically weakening Lebanon President Emile Lahoud quickly agreed to an international investigating team without discussing the details of its composition or duration. Lebanon is going to be manhandled by the world community as President Lahoud, reluctantly, invited the wolves, through an international resolution, to come and freely investigate their own deeds and mischief. Lebanon will be welcoming an international team of investigators, about 60 of them and for 6 months automatically renewed for another 6 months.
Citizens, what sort of political and economic stability do you expect for Lebanon in the coming year? Another wave of immigration is taking place and no noble slogans can undo this trend. If Syria was in cohort to this assassination plan it certainly was left to drown and take the heat alone.
Hezbollah (God’s Party) and Hassan Nasr Allah (Good God’s Victory): Biographies
Posted by: adonis49 on: May 27, 2009
Hezbollah (God’s Party) and Nasr Allah (God’s Victory): Biographies (May 25, 2009)
Hassan Nasr Allah is currently the Secretary General of Hezbollah. He was born in August 31, 1960 in the poorest section of East Beirut called Nab3a.
Hassan was the eldest among 9 offspring and his father supported this vast family selling vegetable.
Hassan refrained from playing soccer with the neighboring kids or joining them for a swim; he was deeply religious and admired greatly Imam Moussa Sadr who gave the Moslem Shiaa sect a sense of their pride and potentials in the Lebanese fabrics.
The regions of the Shiaa in south Lebanon and in the Bekaa Valley were neglected by the central government since the independence in 1943. The Imam of the Mosque where Hassan prayed in Nabaa was the late Muhammad Fadlallah who is presently the highest Imam of the Shiaa in Lebanon.
At the age of 14 Hassan moved with his family to their home village Bazourieh in south Lebanon. He aided Sheikh Ali Shams el Deen to open a small library of religious manuscripts and Hassan started teaching religion in the village and then finished his high school in Tyr.
By the age of 15 Hassan joined the “AMAL” movement of Imam Moussa Sadr and was quickly appointed officer of the Bekaa district and then a member of the politburo. Sheikh Muhammad Ghrawy facilitated to Nasr Allah higher religious learning in Najaf (Iraq).
Nasr Allah met in Najaf with Abbass Moussawy (later the first Secretary General of Hezbollah). By 1978, and after two years spent in Najaf, Nasr Allah returned to Lebanon. A couple of months later, Imam Moussa Sadr disappeared after a visit to Libya in August 1978.
In 1979, Khomeini came to power in Iran and the Shah went to exile. The geopolitical condition in the Middle East changed drastically. Iran was now against the USA interests in the region, supported the Palestinian cause, and was the first State to officially allow the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) to open and embassy in Tehran.
Israel invaded Lebanon in June 1982; the operation was baptized “Peace in Galilee“. Israel put siege to Beirut for two months and Yasser Arafat and 11,000 Palestinian fighters left to Tunisia.
The Lebanese President of the Republic Elias Sarkis invited Nabih Berri (leader of AMAL) to join Walid Jumblat (Druze leader) and Basheer Gemayel (leader of the Christian Lebanese Forces) to forming a national rescue team. Many AMAL cadres quit Nabih Berry such as Abbass Moussawy, Sobhi Tuffaily, Hussein Moussawy, Ibraheem Amin Sayyed, Naeem Qassem, and Nasr Allah. They created Hezbollah and blew up the US Marines and French barracks in Beirut in 1983. Nasr Allah had said that Hezbollah was the consequence of Israel entering Beirut in 1982.
Hezbollah postponed declaring its formation until 1985 after Israel assassinated one of Hezbollah’s leaders Sheikh Ragheb Harb. The Iranian leaders Ali Mohtashamy was then the spiritual father of the Party and Muhammad Akhtary the military father.
Hassan Nasr Allah learned from Ragheb Harb the famous dictum “The word is taking a stand and shaking hands is acknowledgement of assent” and thus Harb never shook hands with any Israeli army officers who were trying hard to win Ragheb over to supporting the Israeli occupation of south Lebanon.
In 1987, Nasr Allah was appointed member of the highest legislative order in Hezbollah and chairman of the executive branch.
In 1989, Nasr Allah resumed his religious studies in Qom (Iran) and returned in a hurry to Lebanon when military skirmishes with the AMAL movement spread. The AMAL party was executing the orders of the Syrian regime to entering the Palestinian camps and disarming the Palestinians of any heavy arsenal.
Hezbollah followed the policies of Iran to leave the Palestinian out of harm. After many months of fighting both parties settled out their differences as Syria and Iran reached a compromise.
Israel assassinated Hezbollah leader Abbass Moussawy in 1992. Nasr Allah was the closest aid to Moussawy, had extensive contacts with the base, and studied in Qom.
Hassan Nasr Allah replaced Moussawy as Secretary General; he was only 32 of age. Nasr Allah said: “A movement that witnesses its leader falling martyr can never be defeated“. Hezbollah evolved into a qualitative phase in organization and political acumen.
Israel invaded Lebanon in July 1993 for 7 days under the code name “Settling Accounts” and then re-invaded in 1996 under Shimon Peres (Nobel Peace prize winner!) and the operation of total destruction lasted for 17 days under the name “Grapes of Wrath” and shelled a UN compound in Qana where civilians had taken refuge and over 100 died and 300 were gravely injured.
Hadi, the eldest son of Nasr Allah, fell martyr during a resistance operation in September 1997; it was the night before Nasr Allah was to deliver a major speech and he insisted on speaking and said:
“In Hezbollah we do not save our children for the future; we honor them when they fight in the front lines against our enemy Israel; we stand tall when they fall martyrs”
Israel had to retreat from all of Lebanon, with the exception of Shebaa Farms and the hills of Kfarshouba in May 24, 2000 without pre-conditions or negotiations. The Arab recognized Hezbollah as the main resistance movement that vanquished Israel and acclaimed Nasr Allah as the Hero of liberation. In the large town of Bent Jbeil Nasr Allah delivered the Victory Speech and offered the liberation in the name of all the Lebanese.
Nasr Allah said: “Israel has nuclear arsenals and owns the most lethal air force in the region. Israel is still much weaker than the spider web” (It was a reference of a spider web on a cave that saved the Prophet Muhammad from being caught by the Kuraich persecutors while fleeing to Yathreb)
Israel bombarded the villages in south Lebanon in 2003 and then raided Beirut in 2005. Israel re-invaded Lebanon in July 2006 for 33 days and failed to achieve any of its proclaimed objectives. Nasr Allah was recognized as the most charismatic and powerful resistance leader in the Arab and Moslem World. Nasr Allah played the catalyst for the Shiaa in Lebanon to participate in projecting the living messages in the symbolism of the Koran verses and thus be capable of assimilating and accepting changing social and environmental conditions.
According to the famous journalist Seymour Hirsh, Cheney, Eliot Abrahams, and Bandar Ben Sultan conspired to finance and whisk the members of Fatah El Islam into the refugee camp of Nahr Al Bared with the purpose of destabilizing Lebanon and starting civil war between the Moslem Shiaas and Sunnis and thus immersing Hezbollah into a potential civil war. It didn’t work because the Lebanese army was hurt in its pride after many soldiers were executed by severing their heads in the summer of 2007. The army lost over 160 soldiers and many hundreds were severely injured but the Moslem extremism objectives were defeated after 6 months of engagement in the camp. Deputy Bahiya Hariri (sister of late Rafic Hariri) acknowledged that she contributed substantially in financing extremist Palestinian groups in the refugee camps.
The Israelis take very seriously Nasr Allah promises and threats. The Lebanese Government of Seniora PM failed to understand that “A word is a commitment”. Nasr Allah had said that Hezbollah will never turn its arms internally excepting when coerced to relinquish its arms; especially its secured communication lines, the most potent arm it had during the war in 2006. In May 5, 2008 Seniora PM Government, with no Shiaa minister representatives in the cabinet, executed a plan to dismantle Hezbollah secure communication network. Hassan Nasr Allah delivered a speech demanding the government to retract its decision.
By May 7 the AMAL militias confronted the security forces of the Moustakbal movement in Beirut and quickly closed down those arm caches intended to start civil disturbances. The AMAL forces were controlled by cadres of Hezbollah in order for the confrontation not to degenerate into sectarian infighting. For example, the rioters saved the huge pictures of late Rafic Hariri PM and removed the pictures of Saad Hariri and Seniora PM. Israel admitted that its patient work of infiltrating Hezbollah for two years vanished within a couple of hours.
Hezbollah has joined the Parliament since 1992 and has increased the number of its Deputies; it has cabinet ministers since the year 2000. Lebanon is getting ready for Parliamentary election in June 7, 2009 and all the indications point to victory of the opposition headed by Hezbollah, AMAL, and the movement (Tayyar) of Change and Reforms of General Michel Aoun. Over 20 Lebanese agents spying for Israel have been apprehended. Nasr Allah is demanding that the traitors be hanged.

“No mas” for Nobel Peace prizes
Posted by: adonis49 on: January 15, 2009
“No mas” for Nobel Peace prizes (January 15, 2009)
The Norwegian Nobel committee, for awarding “Peace Prizes” for personalities who contributed greatly to communicating the spirit of peace and actively working toward instituting peace around the world and in their communities, has been politicizing their policies which contributed to lavishing totally undeserving war criminals and criminals against humanity.
The latest of awardees is Israel president Simon Perez who said lately: “Israel can protect its babies against Gaza babies” and who participated in the decision making to perpetrate genocide on the Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Many deserving Nobel Peace Prize awardees signed a petition saying that they feel ashamed that Peres was awarded such an honorable prize.
The Norwegian committee has awarded this prize to Kissinger, the US Secretary of State under Nixon who prosecuted the Viet Nam war until it was a losing case; Kissinger is the one who planned and prosecuted the Lebanese civil war in conjunction with Sadat of Egypt.
Mind you that Sadat shared this honorable prize with Menahim Begin, the Zionist terrorists since 1920 and who became Prime Minister and invaded Lebanon in 1982 and entered the Capital Beirut.
Mind you that Arafat also shared this honorable prize with General Rabin, the Zionist Prime Minister who pre-empted the war in 1967 against Egypt and Syria and led terrorist activities against the Palestinians. Arafat cooperated with Sadat to set Lebanon afire for over 15 years.
What is it with Norway that it feels compelled to politicize the Nobel Peace Prize? What! Do I have to wage a pre-emptive war and then work out a flimsy peace negotiation in order to be awarded a peace prize? Do I have to be a Zionist zealot in order to increase my odds for being considered a worthy peace recipient?
What next? Are Bush Junior, Cheney, Olmert, Ehud Barak, Natanahu, Mubarak, and Condo potential candidates for Nobel Peace prizes? What next? Would Hilary Clinton and Barak Obama be the next candidates if they succeed to eliminate Hamas over the death of 1,000 babies and 5,000 injured Palestinians in Gaza? Would Mahmoud Abbass be awarded a Peace Nobel as a consolation prize? Would the Wahhabi Saudi monarch, the leader of the darkest and terrorist religious sect, be considered a serious candidate if he offered one billion dollars for the prize?
It is not enough to feel ashamed! It is the responsibly of the Norwegian government or its Parliament to strip the names of those who won these prizes and then proven to be undeserving from the list of this Hall of Fame or we will label this list the Hall of Shame!
A Walk in the Park for Barak Obama: Gaza

A Walk in the Park for Barak Obama: Gaza (January 10, 2009)
Within two weeks and single handedly, Bush Junior and Cheney have shredded the mask of Zionism. For a century, the Western establishments have tried restlessly to design a human mask for the Zionist movement because Zionist ideology suited their interests in the Middle East to perfection. The Western intelligence communities have studied and analyzed completely the characteristics of the Zionist movement and it was no mystery to them at all. Zionism was the ideal candidate to destabilize a region rich in oil and strategically located to hamper colonial commerce and exploitation of the India and the Far East if the Middle East region united to preserve their natural resources and behave as an independent and self autonomous people.
It has taken the Palestinian resistance in Gaza and the murder of 300 babies and the injury of 2,000 babies and the traumatizing of 600,000 babies to finally removing the tattered mask of Zionism and exposing the true ugly face of reality. The World Community and populations needed this crazy couple of Bush-Cheney to steadfastly believe that crime against humanity is good if it suit their goals; that blessing war crimes against human dignity is their prophetic calling. Yes, the New-Conservative, New-Born Baptist “Christians” finally succeeded to take revenge on the Jews who crucified their brand of “Jesus”; they must be feeling wonderfully good for this rebirth on the third millennia and at the expense of the “homeless” Palestinians.
Now that the little people all over the world know the fundamental barbarity and apartheid ideology of Zionism then it should be walks in the park for President elect Obama to resolve the Palestinian/Israeli problems, if he wills it. If Obama refuses to resolve the Near East problems, then he might as well give the green light to his mercenary State of Israel to design a vast park of 300 square kilometers in Gaza so that Obama might enjoy a warmer location than Camp David. Either way, it all depends on what kind of a park Obama wishes to have in Gaza.
Note: The true deservers of the Nobel Peace Prize have proclaimed their shame that Shimon Peres (Israel’ President) was also awarded this noble prize. Simon Peres declared that Israel can defend its babies from the Palestinian babies in Gaza.
Iraq: “License to kill” by Robert Pelton
Posted by: adonis49 on: January 5, 2009
Iraq: License to kill (January 3, 2009)
A major part of this article was extracted from a chapter in the book of Robert Pelton “License to kill”.
In a matter of months after the invasion of Iraq in 2003, private security firms increased wildly and many had multi-billion contracts such as Blackwater, HART, Triple Canopy, DynCorp, ArmorGroup, Control Risks Group (CRG), Erinys, and Aegis.
The pentagon was officially contracting with 60 such “private security” firms, but the unofficial subcontractors doubled the number of firms; for example, Zapata Engineering which handled gathering, transporting, and demolition of ordnance had its own security services; not to mention Halliburton and the like.
At the end of the “Cold War” in 1989, the US military force was downsized by 30%. (In my opinion it was not just an economic necessity as it was a political shift of image control; Clinton didn’t want to be cornered by the military for alternatives that can be resolved diplomatically).
Thus, the military enhanced its policy of privately outsourcing logistical supports.
In December 1985, the first Army’s Logistic Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) was introduced; it permitted for civil corporations to supply sanitation, shelter, maintenance, transport, food services, and construction.
In 1992, Dick Cheney, then secretary of defense to Bush Senior, contracted Brown and Root (later acquired by the Texas-based Halliburton) to offer a dozen fictional scenarios that could require the deployment of 20,000 troops in 5 base camps for 6 months. During the Clinton Administration, Cheney headed Halliburton from 1995 to 2000. In 2001, Cheney secured to Halliburton an extended term of 10 years.
Even with the over billing schemes of the private contractors, the military saved money but the main objective was political cost savings when things went wrong: the companies could be blamed, contracts annulled, and their employees lost their jobs without due prosecution.
Bush Junior invaded Iraq with about 250,000 troops because, except Britain, no country would contribute forces but the total manpower on the field was much higher because of the private suppliers. The US refused to increase its forces to at least 400,000 in order to maintain law and order and thus relied on private security services.
Without the necessary forces on the field Iraq drifted into total chaos. The chaos sparked impunity for the violent criminal groups that didn’t exist during the reign of Saddam. Colonel T.E. Lawrence warned 80 years ago about the region “A tissue of small jealous principalities incapable of cohesion, and yet always ready to combine against an outside force.”
(Among the multitudes of private providers were dozens of Israeli companies, coordinating their activities with the Mossad intelligence service, looting Iraq, its historical monuments and artifacts, and assassinating the scientists and Iraqi intellectuals).
While 50% of the Iraqi was unemployed the private suppliers hired foreigners from the Philippine, Turkey, Pakistan…because they could not trust the Iraqis. The Iraqi population stayed quiet for 6 months hoping for the reconstruction of the country to take off but it never materialized. The US allocated $20 billions for the reconstruction, mainly from the Iraqi oil production (Bush Junior signed Executive Order to confiscate Iraqi property in the US and funds in American banks and the UN allowed 95% of the income from petroleum export sales to be diverted to the Development Fund for Iraq “to promote the welfare of the Iraqi people through the effective administration of the territory”).
In 2005, Congress increased the Fund to 55 billions to the year 2007, an influx that benefited the private US sector but not the Iraqi.
More than 600 private security contractors have so far died and were not accounted for in the total number of casualties.
