ebanese Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn ...Syria Info Correct, His Sources: Beware of Secret Papers http://en.moqawama.org/essaydetails.php?eid=16198&cid=274 

Lebanese Defense Minister Fayez Ghosn stressed that "his last week revelations concerning the infiltration of "al-Qaeda" members from Lebanese town Arsal to Syria are correct.""My declarations last week were not a product of speculation, but they were based on information we received, which we thought was prudent to reveal to the public," he stressed.Confirming that he was trying to highlight the dangers against Lebanon's security and stability, the minister viewed in his statement that "the criticism that was directed against me has been approached from a sectarian perspective, making it appear as if I was targeting a specific sect or the dignity of the town.""We know that the Lebanese, regardless of their sectarian affiliations, reject and combat terrorism," he added.Considering that "those questioning his statements are doing so in order to fulfill political purposes," Ghosn stated that "the army and security forces are performing their duties in tackling the security situation which should motivate the people to support the army and its role in defending Lebanon.""Ghosn, from his position as a defense minister, represents the political reference for the army," "as-Safir" commented adding that "if someone did not like the ministers' words, they might respond without fooling people and burying their heads in the sand."Sources close to Ghosn alerted to the daily that the information he revealed is only a little of what he owns.Noting that "the political team that belongs to him has certain information about how the smuggling of arms to Syria took place, and to what side they belong," sources reflected to "as-Safir" that "it may be necessary to detect some of these papers if the attack continues on the minister of defense."

US Recruiting Spies through MEPI Program  http://en.moqawama.org/essaydetails.php?eid=16208&cid=274  In the context of a US plan to clamp down on young Jordanians, US Embassy in Amman is working on recruiting spies openly through the "MEPI" program."MEPI" provides tens of thousands of dollars for young people to pursuit "American democracy". Moreover, embassy staff imposes tight control over social network to catch their goals and create illegal organizations and networks in the Jordanian street which suffers from the fact that poverty, unemployment, and lack of national spirit form fundamental reasons for Jordanian youth to join the US project."Under the cover of the implementation of democracy, reform, women's empowerment, and enhancing the quality of education, "MEPI" agency or Middle East Partnership Initiative, works through funding of political individual project to stimulate young people to form organizations, whether legal or illegal, to obtain the announced financial support. According to a source from within the "MEPI", the US State Department's initiative targeted young people in Jordan, where it doesn't stop at civil society's institutions but specialized cadres in the embassy move to encourage young people to establish organizations and bloc.US initiative brings youths through money which reaches 150 thousand dollars, not less than 25 thousand dollars for each youth group.The same source affirmed "MEPI" has achieved remarkable successes in Syria, where it has recruited many young people working under its command until reaching 1,700 young men between the ages of 17-34 years distributed over 13 organizations.The great success was achieved in less than two months, as the financial procedures went quickly to facilitate the process of polarization; especially among young people suffering from financial hardship.

Observers in Syria: Time to separate civilians from insurgents?

Dozens of new civilian deaths are being reported in Syria as the Arab League gears up to monitor the implementation of a peace plan. But could the media be failing to distinguish between civilians and armed insurgents?Hisham Jaber, the director of the Center for Middle East Studies, told RT that there is no doubt that armed insurgents are operating in Syria. But when the media report violent clashes and deaths in the country, for some reason the word “insurgent” is never used.“When they talk about the thousands of people killed in Syria, they don’t mention insurgents – they say civilians,” Jaber said. “And also we cannot deny that about 2,000 soldiers or security men were also killed in Syria within this period.”Arab League observers are charged with ensuring that Damascus sticks to a peace deal brokered by the League, a mission Hisham Jaber believes will be a very “complicated and sensitive” one. But the Syrian government will provide the observers with all the necessary tools to accomplish the job.“The Syrian government made it clear that it is not using forces and weapons against peaceful civilians,” he said. “But the army in Syria will continue the military operation against deserters from the army and against insurgents, who now have the most sophisticated weapons.”Syria accepted and signed the Arab League’s protocol, letting the observers in, because it wants out of the current political dead end, Jaber said. “And many believe that Russia was behind this, convincing Syria to accept the protocol, which represents a breakthrough of the situation,” he added.

Right-wing US group holds Hanukkah party at IDF base Anshel Pfeffer, Haaretz, Dec 26 2011

Organizations from all shades of the political spectrum are holding Hanukkah events this week at various army bases, with or without military authorization. On Sunday night, the US organization United with Israel, which has a pro-settlement agenda and is identified with the US religious right, held an army-approved Hanukkah party at the Military Police base in Anatot, outside of Jerusalem. The group, which has trademarked its slogan, ‘The Global Movement for Israel’, organizes events in support of the Jewish settlement in Hebron and in Jerusalem-area settlements, and also conducts pro-Israeli public relations. In August, it took part in Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Courage” event in Jerusalem. Beck was fired from the right-wing US Fox News Channel earlier this year for accusing Obama of “hating white people”. On its website, United with Israel encourages the purchase of homes in Jewish settlements in East Jerusalem and takes donations for the cause. The organization’s Jerusalem offices did not respond to our request for comments. Elsewhere, Chabadniks are planning to visit dozens of IDF bases and outposts during the holiday to distribute sufganiyot (jam doughnuts) and Hanukkah menorahs to the soldiers. Although the army has not authorized these visits, Chabadnikim enter the bases freely, often leaving informational material in the synagogues. Chabad’s website invites supporters to its Hannukah party at the Anatot army base, near Ramallah. The IDF Spokesman’s Office said in a response that it had not received a permit request from Chabad and would review any that arrived. The IDF Spokesman’s Office said:

Last night, there was a Hannukah event at the Anatot base that was held in cooperation with the nonprofit organization Lehayalim Be’ahava (To Soldiers With Love), which gives donations to the IDF, in cooperation with the Aguda Lema’an Hachayal (The Association for the Wellbeing of Israel’s Soldiers). It was approved by the IDF. The ideological positions of the NGOs is not a factor in accepting donations.

 IRANS OPPOSITION ADVOCATE US NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL INTERESTS  http://www.rajanews.com/detail.asp?id=110904 The behavior of Iranian pro-western media towards recent legislative election in Russia disclosed the realities behind their slogans against Russia and China as Washington's traditional rivals in street protests after 2009 presidential election.It showed that Iran’s opposition aimed to support US imperialism by shouting anti-China and anti-Russia slogans, without considering the national interest of its own country.

US, IRI opposition in line against Russia

Although, the results of recent legislative elections in Russia showed a big gap between the “United Russia” lead by the anti-western politician Vladimir Putin’ and the rivals but former CIA expert of velvet revolutions and current US Ambassador to Moscow John Beyrle, using western propaganda machine did his best to destabilize the country provoking unrests, claiming fraud in the election.

 In the meantime, along with the face book and other western social networks, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a provocative speech against Moscow in Lithuania which hosted chairmanship of Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, saying that “the Russian voters’ voice should be heard and their votes should be counted again.”She noted that”the Russian voters deserve a more free, transparent and responsible election.”In support of the US accusations against Moscow, a pro-western Iranian daily named “Shargh” in line with US secretary of state put this headline on its first page “Unrest in Moscow, Protest against Putin’s Fraud in Election” to prove that the Iranian pro-western opposition advocates Washington regional and international interests and ideals.This is just a piece of the comprehensive articles, columns, interviews, etc which published consonance with the psychological war of the West against the “United Russian” party leaded by Putin.Shouting anti-China and anti-Russia slogans in Iran, started for the first time after Iran’s 1979 revolution, when Iranian pro-western opposition leader Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani made a speech in support of Muslim minorities in China and  Russia in his last Friday prayer in Tehran after 2009 election.This was repeated later, on Quds Day (2009 September 17) when pro-western opposition shouted “No Gaza, No Lebanon, I die for Iran”; same slogans continued and in Aban 13(2009 November 4), protesters replaced the uncommon slogan of “Death to Russia” with the famous slogan of “Death to America”.American daily Christian Science Monitor in reaction to the anti-Russian slogans in Aban 13, wrote that when for years, US was called “Great Satan” by Iranians, Iranian opposition protesters shouted slogans against Washington international rivals angrily, for the first time after three decade.Of course, this American newspaper stressed that “since most Iranians still see US as Great Satan, then Washington should not expect that other international powers take the place of US as the first enemy in nostalgic mind of all Iranians.”

Independence, IRI foreign policy

“America is worse than Britain; Britain is worse than America. The Soviet Union is worse than both of them. They are all worse and more unclean than each other!” this quotation from IRI founder Imam Khomeini as well as “No East No West-Only Islamic Republic” slogan which has been the major demand of Iran’s 1979 popular revolution, show that Tehran’s unchangeable policy is to defend its national interests, unafraid of big powers.

 Russians even after the dissolution of Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) could not get a trustee friend for Iran as Moscow accompanied the West against IRI on four rounds of sanctions toward Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities, slowed the construction process of Bushehr nuclear power plant for several times and canceled a deal for selling S-300 missile system to Tehran.Of course, it should be noted that IRI opposition hostility towards Moscow does not refer to the above mentioned circumstances because they are critic of all these progressive programs.

CIA plan for velvet revolution in Russia

 Since the result of the election showed a big gap between the “United Russia” and other parties in the election outcome, at first small population of opposition made some protest streets but with the call of twitter and face book and other western funded social networks, the unrest spread and the protesters could arrange large-scale demonstrations in Moscow with the participation of around 25000 people.

Same as the proposed failed pro-western 2009 Iran’s Green coup d'état, Orange Revolution in Ukraine and other CIA  velvet revolutions around the world, the failed Russian velvet revolution was also programmed months before the election and the opposition parties were instructed to use “white ribbon” as the symbol of their movement which named as “Snow Revolution”.Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) as one of the Russian election observers was the only foreign observer of the election which provoked unrest in this region by reporting comprehensive fraud in the election; protesters' call for street protest in the social networks was another factor which helped the spread of protests.Former Russian President and current Prime Minister Putin, in reaction to US official and non-official interfere in the election process said that “Washington is provoking unrests in the country, warning about violation of Russia sovereignty by outside financial and political investment in the election process.Legislative elections were held in Russia on 4 December 2011. At stake were the 450 seats in the State Duma, the lower house of the Federal Assembly of Russia (the legislature). United Russia won the elections with a 49.32 percent share of votes (238 seats; 52.88 percent of Duma seats), down from 64.3 percent (70 percent of seats) in the 2007 elections. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation received 19.19 percent (92 seats), while A Just Russia received 13.24 percent (64 seats) and the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia got 11.67 percent (56 seats). Other parties did not cross the 7 percent election threshold, and the list of parties in the parliament did not change.United Russia lost the two-thirds constitutional majority it held prior to the election, but it still won an absolute majority of seats in the Duma although gaining less than 50 percent of the popular vote. The Communist Party, Liberal Democratic Party and A Just Russia all got a higher level of representation in the parliament compared to the previous 2007 elections.Elections received various assessments from abroad: positive from the Commonwealth of Independent States observers, mixed from the OSCE and critical from some EU representatives and the United States. Alleged reports of election fraud have led to major protests particularly in Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

Future Riot Shields Will Suffocate Protestors with Low Frequency Speakers

It's not the first crowd control tool to use sound waves, but Raytheon's patent for a new type of riot shield that produces low frequency sound waves to disrupt the respiratory tract and hinder breathing, sounds a little scary.And like Roman soldiers joining their shields to form a large impenetrable wall, these new riot shields can actually be networked together to form a larger acoustical horn, vastly improving their range, power, and effectiveness. There's no word on what the long-term medical implications might be if you find yourself on the wrong side of one of these shields. But I imagine the unpleasant experience is not unlike being force choked from afar by Darth Vader.

Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the U.S. accused of funding the “Muslim Brotherhood”  http://www.islamtimes.org/vdca6en6u49nuu1.tgk4.html Egypt (Islam Times) -The prominent Egyptian intellectual Rifaat Sayid Ahmad accused the three parties of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United States of funding the religious movements and specifically the Muslim Brotherhood in the elections witnessed in Egypt ...

Islam Times - The writer criticized Egypt’s Foreign Minister for submitting to the orders and directives of Qatar’s Foreign Minister regarding imposing sanctions on Syria and that after the Egyptian revolution placed him in his position in the Arab League. He added Al-Arabi’s actions along with the actions of the Secretary General of the Arab League go against the principals of the Egyptian revolution and as if the sacrifices given during the revolution have come to serve America and Israel through having prominent figures working to dismantle the Arab countries and resistance forces. Rifaat Sayid Ahmad stressed that the United States, and through its ambassadors in Cairo, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar has spent and since the beginning of the Egyptian revolution from 5 to 7 billion dollars and that according to official reports. Youssef Al-Qardawi helped in delivering these funds to support Wahhabi movements and Americanized groups in the elections. Sayid Ahmad also pointed out that these movements will not have the role of building and placing a new constitution in such a critical stage in Egypt’s history and they won’t even end the problem of garbage, but their role will specifically be to incite political, sectarian, and religious fires and to create vacuums and contrasts with the army to belittle its prestige so that Egypt would be pre-occupied with its internal issues.

Germany training Egyptian soldiers amid deadly security crackdown  http://www.irna.ir/ENNewsShow.aspx?NID=30718209&SRCH=1 Germany remains committed to training Egyptian soldiers amid the ongoing lethal security crackdown against pro-democracy demonstrators in Cairo's Tahrir square, the Hamburg-based weekly Der Spiegel said in a report on Sunday.Replying to a letter by German opposition lawmaker Niema Movassat who called for an end to the controversial military cooperation between Berlin and Cairo over the brutal security clampdown, the German Defense Ministry stressed Egypt was 'absolutely eligible' for having the military training program. The German army is training up to 10 Egyptian military officials every year. The cost of the military program is paid by German taxpayers. Meanwhile, Movassat labeled the German-Egyptian military cooperation a 'scandal' amid 'the numerous human rights violations of the Egyptian military.' Germany was a strong supporter of the former Mubarak regime for his backing of the Zionist regime and had provided billions of euros in development and military aid during his 30-year dictatorship. Egypt is now ruled by the western-backed Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF)
which has played a key role in the recent deadly crackdown of the pro-democracy
movement.

Iran to Rank 1st in Science, Technology by 2025

http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9007277876 Iranian Deputy Science, Research and Technology Minister Seyed Javad Sadatinejad boasted the country's astonishing progress in science and technology, and said Iran will stand first in the region in terms of science and technology by 2025. "Given the efforts made by the Islamic Iran's youths, we will rank first in the region in science and technology before 2025," Sadatinejad said on Sunday. He reiterated that Iran at present ranks first in the region and ranks 12th in the world in nanotechnology, which shows the country's good status in producing science and technology which is the result of the efforts made by the Iranian scientists and researchers, specially the university students. Iran has taken wide strides in science and technology, particularly in medical and medicinal fields, in recent years. In a landmark pharmaceutical progress, the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) announced in January that Iranian scientists have managed to synthesize two new types of radiomedicines to treat malignant types of cancer. "The Iranian scientists and researchers of the AEOI's Nuclear Science and Technology Research Center succeeded in producing two new radiomedicines for the first time to cure malignant cancers," AEOI Spokesman Hamid Khadem Qaemi said at the time. He named the radiomedicines as Lutetium-177 Phosponate (EDTMP) for bone pain palliation in metastatic prostate cancer and Iodine 131 Chlorotoxin to treat malignant glioma. Also, Iran in December unveiled five different radiomedicine projects with applications for diagnosis, prevention and treatment of a number of diseases. In September, Iran announced that it plans to synthesize 20 kinds of radiomedicine inside the country, stressing that its scientists are capable of supplying the 20%-enriched uranium needed for the production of such drugs. "Iran has gained the necessary preparedness to produce 20 radiomedicines and we will provide the 20% (enriched) fuel needed for the production of these medicines this year," Deputy Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) for Planning, International and Parliamentary Affairs Massoud Akhavan-Fard told FNA in September. In addition to the Tehran research reactor which has long been used by radioisotope production, Iran also plans to build four other research reactors in the other parts of the country, he added.

Whistleblower discloses Saudi King's secret  http://english.irib.ir/voj/topics/injustice-worldwide/item/81348-whistleblower-discloses-saudi-kings-secret Sources close to the Saudi King revealed that King Abdallah has been complying with the US policies in the world almost since he ascended to power in a bid to prevent the disclosure of a secret that can ruin not only him, but also his country. An informed source from the Saudi royal palace told FNA that King Abdallah bin Abd al-Aziz Al Saud has been obeying the US orders and policies in a bid to avoid disclosure of the most important secret in his personal life."In the early years after he ascended to power, King Abdallah travelled to the US for both medication and meetings with US officials. During the trip, he received a gift from the White House officials, which has made him keep mum and only put the US policies into action," the source, who has accompanied the King during the aforementioned trip to the US, told FNA on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of his information.The source, who said he started babbling about the King's secret due to his concern and anger at the King's appointment of Nayif bin Abd al-Aziz Al Saud as his heir apparent to the thrown, said the gift was a chemical substance called "Herbal Red Mercury".He said the substance heels and revives body cells, energizes the body, rejuvenates you and makes you look and feel much younger, adding that 100 grams of the substance costs around USD6 million.The source said after the King left the hospital, "he injected a gram of Herbal Red Mercury. Then a White House official gifted several high-class women to the King and left the place, but his people had planted spying devices in the room and recorded everything the King did during those days"."Soon after the King returned home, the 2006 Israeli invasion of Lebanon started and before King Abdallah could make a move, the White House sent him a message, alerting him that if he did not accompany Israel and if he did not pressure the Lebanese Hezbollah, the footages of his lustful trip to New York would be released to the media," the source continued.He added that the Red Mercury has played a major role in the King's recovery during the last few years.

Canadian analyst calls 9/11 verdict part of US psychological war on Iran http://almoqawama.org/?a=content.id&id=29081  Director of the Center for Research on Globalization Michel Chossudovsky dismissed a new ruling by a US court calling Iranian officials guilty of helping the 9/11 attackers as nothing but "a ploy".On Thursday, families of victims of the September 11th 2001 attacks won a default judgment against Iran, the Taliban, Al-Qaeda and Lebanon-based Hezbollah. The lawsuit alleges that people in Iran provided support to the terrorists who went on to attack civilians on US soil. But Chossudovsky told RT he believes it's nothing but a cover-up, with Iran as a convenient fall guy. "There is absolutely no evidence that Iran aided the 9/11 attacks. There is ample evidence after collection that there was conspiracy and the complicity of the US government…There is absolutely no evidence that Al Qaeda or the Taliban were involved in the 9/11 attacks. In fact, if there is anyone behind Al Qaeda, it was the Central Intelligence Agency, going back to the Soviet Afghan war", Chossudovsky said. And this latest court ruling is part of the plan, according to Chossudovsky. "We are dealing with fabrications whereby a war agenda, which has been on the Pentagon's drawing board for many years, is now seeking justification to go live - and we've seen the drone attacks, we've seen the sanctions." But why would the United States get involved in such a long-running, costly, dangerous ploy? The answer, according to the Canadian analyst, is simple. "Because Iran has 10 per cent of the world's oil reserves - four or five times the amount of the United States; it's in a crucial region, it doesn't accept US hegemony and it's an ally of Russia and China." However, Chossudovsky told RT, the consequences of such a move could be disastrous. "It could unleash a war which extends from the eastern Mediterranean right through to Central Asia to the Chinese border - and then we are in a World War III scenario."

Only 28 percent of the people polled agreed that the government should pay for the court.The poll also suggests that 70 percent of the Lebanese people favor the triangular formula comprising the army, nation and the resistance movement to protect the country against the Zionist regime’s invasions.Asked about Syria, 53 percent of those surveyed said that if Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad remains in office, it will be more helpful to the neighboring Lebanon.

Iran Arrests another CIA Agent  http://en.moqawama.org/essaydetails.php?eid=16107&cid=274 Iranian Intelligence Ministry announced Saturday that it has arrested an agent of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Iran immediately after he started his spying activities inside the country.The Ministry's public relations office said in a statement that "the US administration had designed a very complicated and massive plot to pave the way for infiltrating the intelligence apparatus of the Islamic Republic."According to the ministry's statement, the CIA tasked one of its intelligence analysts with putting this complicated intelligence-operational plan into action.The statement said that the spy who is of Iranian origin and has served in the intelligence units of the US Army has served US missions in Afghanistan and Iraq and has passed highly sensitive and complicated training courses for the mission.Unveiling that the Iranian intelligence forces identified the individual as soon as he entered the Bagram military base in Afghanistan and could find out his main mission, the statement clarified that "Iranian forces kept an eye on the spy when he entered Iran and arrested him as soon as he started his spying mission."Iranian intelligence minister Heidar Moslehi announced in May that more than 30 US and "Israeli" spies had been discovered.

Russia takes back the initiativehttp://www.voltairenet.org/Russia-takes-back-the-initiative 

The Spanish royalist daily ABC, which published a series of photographic reports staunchly on the side of the "revolution" and against the regime, oddly released an article by Daniel Iriarte. 

The reporter, who traveled to northern Syria, was chaperoned by the Free Syrian Army. Taken to a hideout in an unidentified village in northern Syria, he came across three Libyans: Mehdi al-Hatari (the famous Tripoli Brigade commander, who was on board the Mavi Marmara last year and witnessed the assault by pirates of the Israeli army), Adem Kikli (one of the lieutenants of Abdelhakim Belhaj, historic leader of Al Qaeda in Libya and new military governor of Tripoli), and someone going by the name of Fouad. The testimony of the ABC reporter was likely published in the wake of the revelations by former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar on 9 December 2011, to the effect that Abelhakim Belhaj was on the list of suspects of the 11 March 2004 attacks in Madrid.

Israel Admits Arming Syrian Revolutionaries By Richard Walker 

www.americanfreepress.net Issue 45, November 7, 2011

 News that israeli weapons are in the hands of Syrian opposition groups should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with Middle East unrest. For decades, israel has not interfered openly in the affairs of its neighbors; it has run covert wars in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Iran, to name but a few nations. It has assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists and has supplied terrorists groups as long as they targeted countries it wanted to destabilize. When it comes to Syria, israel has a vested interest in seeing it collapsed into chaos, convinced the overthrow of the Bashar al-Assad regime will undermine Syria's allies, namely Iran and Hezbollah in Lebanon. It therefore did not come as a shock to pundits when a Syrian envoy to the Arab League revealed israel has been supplying Syrian insurgents with automatic weapons. The envoy said both Lebanon and Syria had intercepted shipments of israeli weapons bound for Syrian fighters. israel has long opposed the Syrian regime and, as far back as 2003, used its neo-con supporters to convince President Bush he should sanction the overthrow of al-Assad. Dick Cheney has since admitted he was in favor of a plan to bomb Syria because he believed it would weaken israel's enemies in the region. Syria shares borders with Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan, and is a gateway for traffic among all those nations. israel and its backer in Washington, Barack Obama, would like to put a regime in Syria that allows them to control that gateway. In so doing, they could shut off trade between Lebanon and Iran, which is next door to Iraq. D.C. continues to support israel's dirty work in the region even though violence in Syria could quickly spread into Lebanon. It was israel's 1982 intervention in Lebanon that led Hezbollah to become the organization it is today."

Nuclear-Israel versus a Nuclear-Free Iran
"The issue of intervention in Iran is not new....Oil may have been the primary motive in the past for intervention; today it is maintaining the regional status-quo, where Israel can continue its program of annihilating the Palestinians with impunity. For the sake of justice and stability, these outdated colonialists need a bloody nose, and an attack on Iran might paradoxically produce that, as Iran for sure will retaliate. And that can only be good for peace and prosperity for the majority of the people in the region."

ZIONISTS DECLARE US WITHDRAWAL FROM IRAQ(A WAR FOR ISRAHELL) PERFECT CHANCE TO ATTACK IRAN...  http://www.jinsa.org/publications/analysis/israel/what-american-withdrawal-iraq-means-israel Although Jerusalem is apprehensive about the American departure, there is a silver lining: American forces no longer stand in the way of an Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. Of the three possible routes to Iran—the northern route which hugs the Turkish-Syrian border, the central route which is due east over Jordan and Iraq, and the southern route over Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf—the central route, which has always been the shortest and within the 1,000 mile range of Israeli F-15s and F-16s, has now also become the most conducive, passing through friendly Jordanian and defenseless Iraqi skies. Until now, it is unclear what U.S. forces in Iraq would have done had radar indicated an Israeli air armada streaking across Iraqi airspace. Former Carter National Security Adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski even suggested that the U.S. shoot down Israeli planes. With the Obama administration adamantly opposed to an Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, especially its airspace, has removed a major obstacle to a successful Israeli operation.

Overall, the American withdrawal from Iraq portends ill for Israel. Iranian domination of Iraq is likely to increase and the Iraqi army will be American trained and armed, but outside the American geostrategic orbit. Since much of the region sees American and Israeli strength as one and the same, any American weakness, especially during such politically uncertain times, will also largely be interpreted as a blow to Israel. Nevertheless, 2012 will mark the first time in over two decades that the United States will not control Iraqi airspace, leaving it exposed to Israeli jets heading eastward. While the long term repercussions of the American withdrawal are unfavorable, Israel may find itself with its best opening to directly confront its greatest security threat: Iran.

The Washington – “Moderate Islam” Alliance: Containing Rebellion Defending Empire
http://axisoflogic.com/artman/publish/Article_64158.shtml 
The key motivation in Washington’s and the European imperial troika’s (England, France and Germany) embrace of what their press and officialdom hail as “moderate” Islamist parties has been the collapse or weakening of their long-term client rulers. Faced with the ouster of Mubarak, in Egypt, Ali in Tunisia and Saleh in Yemen, mass protests in Morocco and Algeria, the US-EU turned to conservative Muslim leaders who were willing to work within the existing state institutional framework (including the army and state police), uphold the capitalist order and align with the empire against anti-imperial movements and states. In Egypt, the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) (the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood), in Tunisia the Renaissance Party, in Morocco the Justice and Development Party have all indicated their willingness to serve as reliable partners in blocking the pro-democracy movements that challenge the socio-economic status quo and the long-standing military-imperial linkages.The Islamist collaborators are called “moderate and respectable” because they agree to participate in elections within the boundaries of the established political and economic order; they have dropped any criticism of imperial and colonial treaties and trade agreements signed by the previous client regions - including ones which collaborate with Israel’s colonization of Palestine.Equally important “moderate” means supporting imperial wars against nationalist and secular Arab republics, such as Syria and Libya, and isolating and/or repressing class based trade unions and secular-left parties.“Moderate” Islamists have become the Empire’s ‘contraceptive of choice’ against any chance the massive Arab peoples’ revolt might give birth to substantive egalitarian social changes and bring those brutal pro- western officials, responsible for so many crimes against humanity, to justice.The West and their client officials in the military and police have agreed to a kind of “power-sharing’ with the moderate/respectable (read ‘reactionary’) Islamist parties. The Islamists would be responsible for imposing orthodox economic policies and re-establishing ‘order’ (i.e. bolstering the existing one) in partnership with pro-multinational bank economists and pro US-EU generals and security officials. In exchange the Islamists could take certain ministries, appoint their members, finance electoral clientele among the poor and push their ‘moderate’ religious, social and cultural agenda. Basically, the elected Islamists would replace the old corrupt dictatorial regimes in running the state and signing off on more free trade agreements with the EU. Their role would keep the leftists, nationalists and populists out of power and from gaining mass support. Their job would substitute spiritual solace and “inner worth” via Islam in place of redistributing land, income and power from the elite, including the foreign multi-nationals to the peasants, workers, unemployed and exploited low-paid employees.Why the Empire Arms Fundamentalist Anti-Secular Muslims.While the US and EU have backed respectable “moderate Islam” in heading off a popular upheaval of the young and unemployed, in other contexts they have enlisted violent, fundamentalist Islamic terrorists to overthrow secular independent anti-imperialists regimes – like Libya, Syria - just as they had done earlier in Afghanistan and Yugoslavia. The US, Qatar and the European troika financed and armed Libyan fundamentalist militias and then engaged in a murderous eight months air and sea assault to ensure their client’s ‘victory’ over the secular Gaddafi regime. Fresh from NATO’s success, the US, the European ‘Troika’ and Turkey, with the backing of the League of Arab collaborator princes and emirs, have financed a violent Muslim Brotherhood insurrection in Syria, intent on destroying the nationalist economy and modern secular state.The US and EU have openly unleashed their fundamentalists allies in order to destroy independent adversaries in the name of “democracy” and ‘humanitarian intervention’, a laughable claim in light of decade long colonial wars of occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan. All target regimes have one crime in common: Using their national resources to develop modern secular states – independent of imperial dictates.NATO implements its campaigns through conservative ‘moderate’ or armed fundamentalist Islamist movements depending on the specific needs, circumstances and range of options in any given target nation. With the fall of pro-Empire ‘secular dictatorships’ in Egypt and Tunisia, pliable conservative Islamist leaders are the fall back “lesser evil”. When the opportunity to overthrow an independent secular or nationalist regime arises, armed and violent fundamentalist mercenaries become the political vehicle of choice.As with European empires in the past, the modern Western imperial countries have relied on retrograde religious parties and leaders to collaborate and serve their economic and military interests and to provide mercenaries for imperial armies to savage any anti-imperialist social revolutionaries. In that sense US and European rulers are neither ‘pro nor anti’ Islam, it all depends on their national and class position. Islamists who collaborate with Empire are “moderate” allies and if they attack an anti-imperialist regime, they become ‘freedom fighters’. On the other hand, they become “terrorists” or “fundamentalists” when they oppose imperial occupation, pillage or colonial settlements.

In its Seventh Year, CITGO-Venezuela Heating Oil Program Helps 400,000 Needy Americans http://venezuela-us.org/2011/12/13/in-its-seventh-year-citgo-venezuela-heating-oil-program-helps-400000-needy-americans/  CITGO President and CEO Alejandro Granado and Citizens Energy Chairman Joseph P. Kennedy II launched the seventh consecutive year of the CITGO-Venezuela Heating Oil Program today in New Jersey.The program will help more than 400,000 people this year in 25 U.S. states, including residents of over 250 homeless shelters, members of over 60 Native American tribes, families living in tenant-owned cooperatives and thousands of single-family households.CITGO President and CEO Alejandro Granado, who was joined by Camden Mayor Dana Redd at the launch. said: “Over the years, the program has become the most important energy assistance program by an oil company. For CITGO, it aligns with the humanitarian and solidarity principles endorsed by the government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela through its national oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA) that we echo in everything we do.”“CITGO is very proud to mark the seventh anniversary of our Heating Oil Program. Increasing energy costs continue to affect the quality of life for millions of people and impact community organizations that provide critical social services. As an energy company, we believe it is our obligation to use the strength of our resources to help alleviate the burden for those struggling to pay for home heating costs,” said Granado. The 7th edition of the program was launched with a delivery of fuel to the Camden, N.J., row-house of a grandmother living on a limited income. Arlene Grier, who raised three children in her home on Merrimac Road, thanked Granado and Kennedy after they made a delivery of free heating oil to her home. “I want to thank CITGO and Citizens so much,” said Grier. “This helps a lot. Prices are going up but not my income, so I’m always having to decide between paying for food, heat, electricity, gas, or my mortgage. I wish other oil companies were as generous.”Since 2005, CITGO has invested more than $400 million in energy assistance to those in need. Last year alone, more than $60 million in heating oil was donated to low-income families and individuals. With higher costs for heating oil and reduced government funding for energy assistance programs, the demand this year is greater than ever. “We don’t want families to have to choose between heating their homes or buying basic necessities such as food or medicine. No one should be forced to make those types of decisions,” said Granado. “We are grateful that through our CITGO-Venezuela Heating Oil Program, we can make families’ lives a little warmer.”

SYRIAWATCH-The Medical Examiner Interview about Hamza Al-Khateeb  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xlRDgVh6Dg&feature=autoplay&list=UUDrnROqHtRoes4MXz_hsgTg&lf=plcp&playnext=2  

Hamza Al-Khateeb became an icon for the so-called "Syrian Revolution". But as everything in this "Revolution" his cause was fake.They claimed that the Syrian security arrested, tortured then killed him. It is a big lie. We are talking science right now. Here is the medical examiner giving his professional opinion in this matter.In case they claimed that the medical examiner was forced for his testimony, then why the family didn't ask for another autopsy by another examiner, and we all know that they could have done that. It is important to let you know that the uncle of Hamza Al-Khateeb travels frequently to the "United Arab Emirates" and he receives money to organize demonstrations and any anti-government activities...
