BOLIVIAN VICE PRES:WE WONT ACCEPT KIDNAPPNG OF OUR INDIGENOUS LEADER BY IMPERIALISTS

  VICE PRESIDENT OF BOLIVIA:WE WONT ACCEPT KIDNAPPING OF OUR INDIGENOUS LEADER HELD HOSTAGE BY IMPERIALISTS http://www.albatv.org/Pueblos-del-mundo-no-aceptemos-que.html

As it is known to the Bolivian people and the whole world, today Tuesday, when President Evo was returning from Moscow, - where he had a meeting with President Putin, the last meeting-, returning to Latin America, had to pass through the airspace of France, Portugal, Spain, to refuel in Canary Islands and from there reach the continent, the presidential plane.It received a statement from the Government of France, which could not pass through French airspace. Nor could pass through Portuguese airspace, the aircraft made a request for emergency landing at the airport in Vienna, Austria and landed approximately at 16:30 in the afternoon.In absolute violation of the Vienna Convention, which States that the flights of the Presidents of the world, they can not be obstructed and they have immunity, a couple of European Governments forbade that it can pass through your airspace aircraft President Evo. From 16:00 until this time, the 22:35, President Evo still parked at the airport in Vienna. We want to say to the Bolivian people, we want to say to the world that our President, President Evo Morales, the Bolivian President today by today is kidnapped in Europe. We want to say to the peoples of the world that President Evo Morales has been kidnapped by imperialism and is retained in Europe. It is the first kidnapped by imperialism, because not allowed to pass through airspace of European countries to return to our homeland, to Bolivia.Imperialism has kidnapped President Evo, imperialism has kidnapped the truth, imperial lie has kidnapped the truth of peoples. Imperial abuse has kidnapped the dignity of peoples. Powers foreign - again, as they did 500 years ago - abused, assaulted a town, to the Bolivian people, abused, assaulted, retain, they offend the first indigenous President of Latin America. 500 Years ago, foreign powers kill Indians, they abducted Indians, 500 years later, the pale, decadent, reflections of those foreign powers, today they retain the first indigenous President of Latin America.We know that this impediment to the travel of the President has been on orders by the US Government.. They Have fear of a farmer, who is afraid of an Indian, who is afraid of an honest man, defending the sovereignty of our country. Upholding a policy of prostituted and decadent Empire, they appeal to the terror, the fear, the police control of its own people and of the whole world and today of the first indigenous President, Latin America and Bolivia.This is one an insult to all Bolivians. All Bolivians today we are outraged, we are offended. But also with the Bolivian people are offended all the peoples of the world, farmers in the world, workers of the world, intellectuals of the world, young people of the world, persons worthy of the world, which come as a decadent, ambitious power, uses his strength, his arrogance for assaulting people simple, a people worthy, laboriously, as it is the Bolivian. A worthy President, a laborious President, an indigenous President, as it is President Evo.But he doesn't draw attention, that behind this imperial arrogance, some European countries, which colonies of that decadent Empire, fall in the attitude step follow and obey instructions non.Today the colonial countries are no longer here, in Latin America. Today we find countries colonized in Europe, which abide by against its democratic precepts, against the international precepts, abusive impositions of a foreign power. Some European countries today have become colonies and unworthy colonies of the American Empire.Far is the European enlightenment, behind the lights that illuminated Europe culture, democracy and the pluralism of the world has been: today some countries in Europe are subjected to terrible, inglorious, obscurantism not only of slavishly following the imposition of a foreign power, as it is us.US, but assault and attack the free transit of a President, by any Convention in the world, has the right to navigate the world on official travel. Obscurantism, the repressive police attitude, abuse are taking possession of that beautiful Europe, century and decades ago was an example of plurality and respect for the rights of persons and the rights of peoples.The imperial powers, subordinated and colonized Europe countries, say that they do not frighten us. Tell them they do not frighten us because it is not time for Empires, because it is not a time of colonies; today is time for peoples, today it is time for dignity, and I'm sure that sooner than later peoples brothers of those subject countries ask accounts their rulers of these abuses of these abuses that break with all European democratic, progressive history. It is regrettable.I say again, they will not frighten us. We have been in contact with President Evo from the moment that was instructed that he could not pass through French territory. We are talking our Chancellor, our Prime Minister, the Ministers in permanent conversation with the President. We know your State's current situation and maintain the force, of the dignity that is not going to bend. They won't bend to the Bolivian people, will not bow to Latin Americans, they won't bow to President Evo, they won't break again to indigenous peoples that today we raised head to define our own destiny.No power, the decadent or who yearn for old times of rotten colonialism will scare us,we  are not going to back out, are not going to surrender.First cabinet in full, gathered from days ago, invites the peoples of the world, to the peoples of the world to repudiate this abusive, anti-democratic attitude that goes against the principles that govern the coexistence peaceful and democratic peoples, civilized, to repudiate this kind of Troglodyte, archaic, colonialist and abusive attitude against President Evo.We call on the workers of the world, the workers of Europe, young Europeans, to the young farmers and workers around the world, there where there are people, there where there are million Morales Evos to manifest their rejection, to express their indignation against this Act of imperial arrogance, to express their rejection against this imperial abduction of President Evo.We call upon the peoples of Latin America, progressive Governments, to pronounce, we ask that the peoples of Latin America, the Governments of Latin America to meet emergency, to take position on this abuse.Today Latin America is being trampled, not only Bolivia, the smallest, most slaughtered, but more fighter country having the continent. Latin America is which is being trampled, the dignity of Latin Americans that is being attacked.We call on Latin America to speak out, to meet emergency in different instances that they have, that we have Latin Americans to take a stand firm and strong; First, respect for the life of our President, protection of the life of our President, why it was life at risk in the afternoon, when prevented from passing through French territory. International treaties was not only violated, but that it put at risk the lives of the indigenous President of Bolivia.We invite them to speak out, we also ask people to speak out, the unions, the unions, the universities; There can be no impunity with this last glimpse of 19th century imperial colonialism that has no place in the 21st century.The Bolivian people, we want to thank you for the different manifestations, plural, of all sectors of society, of the drive around our President. We have told our President Evo does a few minutes of love, support that he has received from social, political and cultural sectors; We call on the Bolivian people to maintain unity in lathe to our President.Today, Bolivia is Evo Morales, today the village is Evo Morales; Evo Morales is Bolivia, and keep us United. Feel the Bolivian people that we are doing all we are using all necessary means establishing diplomacy and dignity to achieve that our President here return more quickly to Bolivia. We will make every effort.But we also want to say this, we will not accept blackmail of any country. At times, in the last minutes, have tried to blackmail the President, that would give him passage, authorization to fly over some European countries provided they allow a review the presidential plane. Where have you seen that? President Evo is not any criminal, President Evo has the right of any President of immunity of your flight, and what we say is true, we have never lied, has been given the information that corresponds to official travel, and that's our last word. President Evo is going to uphold the dignity of the Bolivian people, the dignity of the indigenous peoples of the world, the dignity of Latinos, has the right to lift flight to return here to Bolivia as soon as possible.We will not accept blackmail, any kind of conditioning, peoples of the world, we stand up for dignity; peoples of the world, reject the imperial arrogance; peoples of the world, do not accept that our indigenous President is a hostage of the imperialism retained in Europe.Bolivian and Bolivian, keep us together, we are confident that within hours our President Evo will be back with us and we will receive him with love and with all due respect and all the pride it deserves a worthy man who is now representing all the peoples of the world kidnapped by imperial arrogance.It is not time already Empires, and their rabid, decadent tail and last term they won't us back out, we will keep this consistent line of dignity, respect for peaceful among the Nations and peoples living together, but above all of pride, of revolutionary pride of what we, workers, revolutionary, indigenous, wrestlers that we defend the interests of all working people in the world.It is what we wanted to inform, within hours the Cabinet will continue meeting, surely the political Commission, and just we have more accurate information regarding the flight of President Evo, we will be informing the press. I want to thank them for their presence, very good night.

Eritrean “Opposition” Turn to Violence Seeking Attention

Eritrean “Opposition” Turn to Violence Seeking Attention
When people mention Eritrean opposition groups, for most Eritreans and neutral observers, the Ethiopian regime quickly comes to mind. Yet, even with the support of TPLF, Eritrean opposition groups remain highly fragmented along regional, ethnic, religious, and ideological parameters. Because of their numerous divisions and alarming ties with Addis Ababa, they have failed to gain any real support from Eritreans.Despite their differences, one area the opposition has thrived in is the internet. The Digital Age has provided them an opportunity to stay visible, even as their followers in the real world continue to dwindle. One group that has seized this opportunity is the Eritrean Youth Solidarity for Change (EYSC). EYSC is perhaps the most visible cyber opposition group to date. The group gained distinction after its creators used a controversial Facebook feature that lets users add friends to groups without their consent. This deceptive method was preferred after the group originally launched a FB page, in which members were required to “like” the page to join, had less than 60 participants.Launched on Feb 14, 2011 by Solomon Assefaw, a 42-year-old Oakland resident, EYSC is a copycat group inspired by the Egyptian revolution. Although it claims to be a youth organization, the overwhelmingly majority of its members are middle-aged men between the ages of 40-65. The group says its mission is to create  ”cyber-demonstration” against the Eritrean administration, with the objective of mobilizing youth inside Eritrea to “rise up” against their government. Most Eritreans, however, see the groups’ objective differently.Since repackaging themselves as a youth movement in 2011, the group has increasingly used deceit, intimidation, vandalism, violence and terrorism as tools to accomplish their political objectives. As a result, several leading members of EYSC are being investigated by authorities in their host countries for alleged crimes involving harassment, theft, vandalism, arson, aggravated assault and conspiracy to commit murder against Eritreans in the diaspora.The following information are just a few of the crimes committed by this group within the last 12 months:On January 31, 2013, Solomon Assefaw (the self-proclaimed vice-chairmen of EYSC and co-founder of the Facebook group), along with Fitsum A. Ghebreegziabher, aka Fitsum Arefaine and Bemnet Mesfen, were found guilty in a California Superior Court for vandalizing the Eritrean Community Cultural Civic Center (ECCCC) in Oakland. The courtroom also ordered the three men to pay restitution to the ECCCC for the damages they caused and court fees associated with the case.Just last week, a dozen EYSC men rushed into an Eritrean restaurant in Zurich, Switzerland and started trashing their furniture and attacking their customers. Two Eritreans suffered head injuries and bruises and needed medical attention. The EYSC members caused several thousand francs in damages to the restaurant. So far, Swiss authorities have apprehended three suspects in connection with the crime.Even senior fighters of the Eritrean revolution have been targets of this increasingly violent group. On Saturday, January 14, 2012, former freedom fighter and popular Eritrean musician Estifanos Abraham (Zemach), who lost his limb fighting for Eritrea’s independence, was assaulted and beaten severely by a small gang of EYSC members in Switzerland. He spent a week in a Zurich hospital recovering from his injuries.

FLASHBACK- On Political Order and the “Arab Spring” By Amichai Magen

 FLASHBACK- On Political Order and the “Arab Spring”
By Amichai Magen, in Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs VI : 1 (2012). Read the full report. Amichai  Magen  is  head  of  political  development  at  the  Institute  for  Counter-Terrorism
(ICT) and a lecturer at the Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy and Strategy, The
Interdisciplinary Center (IDC), Herzliya. Dr. Magen is a Visiting Fellow at the Hoover
Institution,  Stanford  University,  and  a  member  of  the  World  Jewish  Congress (WJC)
Executive Committee.With the advent of the Arab Spring, freedom’s long march had finally reached

the southern shores of the Mediterranean and the Arab heartland.A fourth global wave of 

democratization is upon us, protracted and messy as it may be.Like water dripping on a rock, the forces of modernization and globalization have corroded and finally cracked open the last remaining region of the

world that hs long appeared—mistakenly, as it turned out—impregnable to the norms and institutions 

of political competition and accountability. The fact that the revolts are occurring in clustersof geographically proximate states is also reminiscent of past patternsof democratization, which typically display regional “contagion” and“domino” effects.Israel has a deep vested interest in the emergence of consolidated liberal democracies in North Africa and the Middle East, and so should 

strive, whereverpossible, to establish links with genuine democrats and to empower

 them where itcan. Moreover, just as the emergence of Southern Sudan as an

 independent state provided Israel with a rare opportunity to establish diplomatic,

economic and security ties with a south eastern African country, resurgent Kurdish nationalism creates new opportunities for constructive alliances.Under the authoritarian 

adaptation scenario, existing regimes will reluctantly liberalize in response to fear of instability; striving to accommodate and co-opt opposition forces. Such accommodation may be direct—

in that it will legalize formerly banned political parties and form coalition governments with Islamists

—or indirect,opening up new space for opposition participation in economiclife, civil society, 

the media, and security forces. Authoritarian adaptation may therefore lead to the Pakistanization 

 of the state security forces of erstwhile western supported Arab states, with Islamist elements 

penetrating military, police,and intelligence agencies.Liberalized autocracy is an inherently 

unstable equilibrium, however, and so is likely to be succeeded, sooner or later, if not by democracy,

 then by new forms of authoritarianism.29[[[[[ Together with its (PUPPETS)allies, Israel would do 

well to closely study, monitor, and  report on Islamist movements’efforts to exploit or 

 subvert new political openings. Military, diplomatic,and economic aid to North African

 and Middle Eastern countries must also be more closely coordinated by Western powers,

 and conditioned more stringently on substantive democratic reforms.]]]]]]]

Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade spokesperson Laeth Horan Photo: Laeth Horan/Facebook)
July 1, 2013 by Ilan Ben Zion and Agam Rafaeli
A Syrian rebel group operating along the Israeli border in the Golan Heights said it has no quarrel with Israel, and that its fight is with President Bashar Assad, not the Jewish state — and it will remain that way.Speaking with The Times of Israel by telephone in Arabic, a spokesperson for the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade — the militia that kidnapped UN peacekeepers in March and May — said, “We are only here to fight Assad; we want nothing from Israel and we want Israel to know this.”Laeth Horan’s overarching message to Israel throughout the conversation was one of nonbelligerence, surprising considering the group’s overt Islamist agenda. Analysts, however, were split over whether the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade and other Sunni Free Syrian Army outfits would really bury the hatchet with Israel.“There is nothing between us and Israel. We only have demands of Assad, even after the war,” Horan said. ”The Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade has no international aspirations; we are only in conflict with the Assad regime.”He said that despite his group’s proximity to the Israeli border and the contested Golan Heights, which Israel has held since the 1967 Six Day War, there “is nothing between us and them” and wouldn’t be, “even in 10 years’ time.”
Earlier in June, an unnamed spokesperson for a Syrian rebel group operating near the Turkish border told Israel Radio that his group “hopes for peace and security with Israel after the downfall of the Assad regime,” but that it doesn’t want Israel to interfere in the revolution.The best weapon Israel can grant the rebels is its recognition of the justness of their cause, the Syrian rebel told correspondent Eran Singer.
Horan, in his conversation with The Times of Israel, went so far as to offer rare praise for Israel’s efforts to provide medical assistance for Syrians injured near the border with Israel in clashes between Assad forces and rebels.“The medical help that the refugees got from Israel is a very good thing,” he said.Regarding his group’s kidnapping of UN personnel and unlawful confiscation of their vehicles on multiple occasions in the past several months, Horan said it was done in order to safeguard the peacekeepers from Assad forces. He admitted the UN’s armored vehicles and trucks were in the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade’s possession — albeit briefly. He claimed they were destroyed by the Syrian army.Syria analysts reacted to the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade’s statements with varied responses. Professor (emeritus) Moshe Maoz of the Hebrew University said that their statements were likely sincere and that, like other rebel groups, they may be willing to strike a compromise with Israel after the fall of Assad.Maoz contended that Israel should covertly assist “mainstream” Sunni rebel groups of the same stripe as the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade against the government through humanitarian aid, so as to encourage a partnership in a post-Assad era. In a recent article in the Haaretz daily, Maoz wrote that Israel “should publicly express support for the Free Syrian Army and the civil leadership of the mainstream Muslim rebels, both secular and religious (including the Muslim Brotherhood).“In this way Israel would signal to the Sunni rebels and countries that it wants to join a regional strategic alliance, which will act to topple the Assad regime and will also weaken Iran and Hezbollah,” Maoz wrote.Speaking with The Times of Israel, Maoz dismissed the threat radical groups like Jabhat al-Nusra may pose in a post-Assad Syria, noting that “by and large they’re foreigners,” and that their aspiration of a pan-Islamic state incorporating Syria is “not the agenda of most Syrians.”

Open letter to the Syrian opposition,from a ZIOCON!

FROM A LOVING ZIONIST... Open letter to the Syrian opposition  https://now.mmedia.me/lb/en/commentaryanalysis/open-letter-to-the-syrian-opposition-from-an-american-supporter
The world is astonished by your sacrifices, your courage and your strength in your struggle against Assad. But the regime in Damascus that is now at work slaughtering your loved ones has employed the same means against your neighbors and others for 40 years. You overcame your fears of Assad’s depredations when they came for you, but when it was others that the regime targeted for death, you said nothing. Or did you approve of it?The regime waged acts of terror for 40 years against every country on your borders – Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, Palestine, Israel – other regional states, and us, against our family and friends. During the Iraq war, Assad turned your capital’s airport into a transit hub for foreign militants who sought to kill American troops fighting against extremists – Sunni and Shiite – so that Iraqis might have a better life.I know what you said when Hezbollah dragged Lebanon to war in the summer of 2006, costing your neighbor billions of dollars worth of damage, as well as thousands of lives. I was in Damascus the second week of the war and watched you celebrate Hezbollah’s war against the Zionists, and Assad’s supporting role, too. If they were fighting the Jews, you believed, they were in the right. You were played for fools. For 40 years the regime sold you on the notion that the great enemy was the Zionist entity, which permitted the Assads to rule and kept the Syrian state unified. But the reason you cannot live together now in peace, the reason Syria is at war, is because you were held together by hatred of someone else, Israel, the Jews.Have you not noticed yet that it all hangs on the same thread? The hateful language the regime used about Israelis, Jews, is the same extermination-ist rhetoric driving their war against Sunnis, against you. You, says Assad, are “foreign terrorists.” The Jews, said the regime, are a colonialist export, foreign to the region. They must be destroyed, driven into the sea, exterminated – the same plans he now has in store for you. Assad’s war against you shows that the Arab war against Israel is simply another aspect of a regional dynamic – the inability to accept and live with the other, whether they are Sunnis, Alawites, Shiite, Druze, Christians, Jews, or for that matter Americans. [[[[[[[We need an account from you, especially those of us, like me, who support your cause.]]]]]]]] If we hesitate to say we are your friends, it is because we do not know who you are, where you are going, or where you have been for the last 40 years, when the regime that now hunts you like animals was killing all the rest of us.

Two Kuwaiti MP's have gone on television in recent weeks to defend their government's purchase of equipment for their security forces from the State of Israel. These kinds of deals were always made in the background, but for them to be acknowledged openly by the legislators of a Muslim country on television is really quite shocking.

ISRAHELLS AMERICAN WAR LOBBY WINEP: Arming the Syrian Rebels

ISRAHELLS AMERICAN WAR LOBBY WINEP: Arming the Syrian Rebels: Sliding Toward Iraq or Inching Toward Stability?http://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/view/arming-the-syrian-rebels-sliding-toward-iraq-or-inching-toward-stability
 ANDREW J. TABLER (ZIONAZI)
The argument in (ZIONIST RAN)U.S. policymaking circles that Washington can deal with the symptoms of the Syrian crisis, but not the disease, is becoming less tenable. Given the threat that the conflict poses to the region's security architecture, the question is not if the (ZIONIST RAN) United States should get involved, but rather when, how, and at what cost. Washington (ZIONIST RAN) may not be able to completely end the fighting, but through a more assertive approach, the administration can help contain it.Several (ZIONIST RAN) U.S. interests are at stake in the conflict.Going forward, Washington should pursue a four-part agenda for containing the crisis:

1. Enforce the (ISRAHELLI) chemical weapons redline. Failure to do so harms America's image in the region and signals to Bashar al-Assad that he can escalate further without consequences. Such escalation -- which is already occurring with the regime's use of surface-to-surface missiles against civilian populations -- will cause more displacement and regional destabilization.
2. Establish safe havens in southern Turkey and northern Jordan, enforced through either Patriot missile batteries or more direct action.
3. Work with the opposition to unseat Assad politically and militarily. Given the rigidity of his regime, Assad has lost the opportunity to reform the country and contend with the demographic youth bulge that has overcome the political system since his father's similarly violent crackdown in 1982. Aid to the rebels must be discriminate, however, and aimed at spurring the opposition to establish a political system that accommodates the country's demographics. The Supreme Military Council (SMC) -- the armed affiliate of the National Coalition of Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces (SOC) -- has Salafists among its leadership, raising concerns that nationalist SMC commanders may leak weapons to extremists given that they share the same short-term goal of deposing the regime.
4. Use diplomacy, but more as an endgame strategy to bring Syria's three major areas and noncontiguous cantons into a more decentralized arrangement.

This measured, assertive, but nonaggressive approach can help contain the crisis. The four steps need not be executed simultaneously, and the United States does not have to commit itself to a full-on confrontation.

Israeli occupation troops abducted this afternoon shepherds Youssef Hussein Rahil and Youssef Mohammad Zahra from the vicinity of Shebaa farms and led them into the occupied area, National News Agency correspondent reported Tuesday.The kidnapping took place before the very eyes of the Indian contingent operating within the UNIFIL and located in the western heights of Jabal Sheikh.  http://www.islamicinvitationturkey.com/2010/06/27/israel-kidnaps-lebanese-shepherd/
A Lebanese lawmaker, Qassem Hashem, condemned the abduction as a clear violation of Lebanon’s territorial sovereignty. He said the incident is part of Israel’s policy of intimidation.The Lebanese army and security services said that the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) have arrested Imad Hassan Atwi, a 37-year-old shepherd near the Shebaa town.A security official said the shepherd was abducted in an area where there is no barbed wire separating Shebaa Farms from the Lebanese town of Shebaa.UN peace keepers in Lebanon, UNIFIL, have reportedly contacted Israel to secure the release of Atwi.Shebaa Farms is a small enclave occupied by Israel since 1967.

 Salafist cleric Sheikh Ahmed al-Asir was plotting to target several areas across Lebanon in an attempt to provoke strife under the auspices of a “prominent” security agency and funded by well-known businessmen, a local newspaper reported on Tuesday.A security source told As Safir newspaper that reputable businessmen granted al-Asir financial funds and apartments, who in turn used the funding to buy arms and explosives, aiming to bomb several areas across the country to create a sectarian strife.The [[[[source also told the newspaper that a truck loaded with arms crossed al-Awali army checkpoint two days before the clashes with the army in the southern town of Abra, near the port city of Sidon]]]]].According to the source,[[[[[[[ the truck made its way to Abra through a “prominent” security agency.The truck was located near al-Asir's complex in the southern town with the arms.]]]]]]The fighting, which was sparked last Sunday when al-Asir's supporters opened fire on an army checkpoint, left around 18 soldiers and more than 20 gunmen dead.The gunbattles concentrated in the area of Bilal Bin Rabah Mosque and nearby buildings.Al-Asir, a 45-year-old cleric who supports the overwhelmingly Sunni rebels fighting to topple Syrian President Bashar Assad, is no where to be found along with singer-turned Salafist Fadel Shaker.On Monday, State Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Saqr Saqr asked for the DNA samples of al-Asir's mother and the brother of Shaker.Al-Asir teamed up with him when around two years ago he began agitating for Hizbullah to disarm.The results of the tests will be compared with the DNAs of two burned bodies found by the army after taking control of the complex of al-Asir.

Jewish ex-Argentina minister faces probe in bombing

Jewish ex-Argentina minister faces probe in bombing https://theuglytruth.wordpress.com/2013/07/01/jewish-ex-argentina-minister-faces-probe-in-bombing/

ed note–Carlos Vladimir Corach allegedly paid $400,000 to an auto mechanic who provided the car bomb that blew up AMIA Jewish center ed note–So, an Argentine Jew is said to have paid off someone to bomb the AMIA Jewish Center in Buenos Aires in 1994 for which Iran was blamed. Argentina and Iran then sign a memorandum of understanding to open the case and investigate it and Jewish groups the world over are pissing their pants in the process? We now know why. JTA The Jewish ex-interior minister of Argentina will be investigated for his ties to the AMIA Jewish center bombing. The Buenos Aires Federal Appeals Court last week ordered the probe of Carlos Vladimir Corach in connection with an illegal payment of $400,000 to Carlos Telleldin, an auto mechanic who was among those charged in the 1994 attack that left 85 dead and hundreds wounded. Telleldin, who allegedly provided the car bomb that blew up the Jewish center, has not been indicted. The three Appeals Court justices called on Federal Judge Ariel Lijo to investigate “the existence of concrete allegations involving Carlos Vladimir Corach, which have not been investigated until now” regarding the illegal payment to Telleldin. Corach was interior minister during the Carlos Menem government in the 1990s. He was responsible for obtaining the building for the Holocaust Museum of Buenos Aires and was the main speaker at its inauguration.

2.Benefitting from the Asad Regime’s Collapse The civil war in Syria has been
going on for more than two years and an end is still not in sight. Though inevitable, the process of Bashar al-Asad‟s regime downfall will be longer than initially predicted. And it will bring chaos and instability, with ripple effects in the neighborhood, in countries as Jordan and Lebanon Apart from lingering instability, the main Israeli concern is the potential of alQa‟idatype groups to exploit the regime‟s weakness in order to carry out terrorist activities in the Golan area.Otherwise, however, the Syrian enigma offers some opportunities to Israel: first, in the long run, is the likely rise to power of a Sunni legitimate regime that might be more amenable to peaceful relations to Israel. Second, in the more immediate future, it signals the weakening of the anti-Israeli axis, led by Iran and Syria. Iran‟s ability to project power on Israel‟s immediate environment has undoubtedly declined; the weakening of Iran and Syria is also taking atoll on the non-state players in the “resistance” camp, Hamas and Hizballah. Moreover, the fact that the latter continue supporting Asad‟s brutal atrocities further stigmatizes the Shi‟i organization in the Sunni world.The Syrian crisis offers Israel two additional opportunities, whichhave beenpartially exploited:
First, Jordan‟s apprehension of the possible spillover effect withinits borders–in terms of terrorism, instability and refugees–creates a potential for warmer Israeli-Jordanian relations.Indeed, there are indications that Prime Minister Netanyahu and King „Abdallah II are tacitly coordinating their policy vis-à-vis the Syrian front7

3.Benefitting fromthe Growing Sunni-Shi’i Rift:The rise of Islamic Sunni-Arab forces in the

Arab world changed the balance of power between the Sunna and Shi‟a. The growing Iranian role in the Middle East, which in recent years was supported by Syria and Hizballah, and largelyencouraged by the changing role of the Shi‟is in Iraq, received a blow by the Arab Spring. Consequently, a new Sunni coalition seemed to be emerging in the region, withTurkey and Egypt being central players in its formation, backed by the moderate monarchies of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Morocco[[[[[this Sunni axis and Israel have several common interests in theregion:]]]]][[[[[[ first, diminishing theIraniannuclearchallenge, which threatens the security, status and economic interests]]]]]][[[[[oftheSunni Muslim countries;]]]]][[[[[[second, containing the looming threats from Syria, and possibly even assisting in deposing the Bashar regime]]]];[[[[and third, ending the stalemate on the Palestinian front, which might deteriorate into a third Intifada]]]]]

BRAZILS LANDLESS MOVEMENT LEADER ON PROTESTS

FULL INTERVIEW IN ENGLISH  Brazil-Interview with João Pedro Stedile (Landless Workers' Movement coordinator): 'It's time for the government to line up with the people or pay the bill in the future'

Plots To Kill Occupy Leaders by Sniper Rifles

 FBI Document:“[DELETED]” Plots To Kill Occupy Leaders by Sniper Rifles “If Deemed Necessary”
 “To Kill the Leadership [of Occupy Wall Street Movement] by Suppressed Sniper Rifles”
Would you be shocked to learn that the FBI apparently knew that some organization, perhaps even a law enforcement agency or private security outfit, had contingency plans to assassinate peaceful protestors in a major American city — and did nothing to intervene?Would you be surprised to learn that this intelligence comes not from a shadowy whistle-blower but from the FBI itself – specifically, from a document obtained from Houston FBI office last December, as part of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by the Washington, DC-based Partnership for Civil Justice Fund? To repeat: this comes from the FBI itself. The question, then, is: What did the FBI do about it? Paul Kennedy, the National Lawyers Guild attorney in Houston who represented a number of Occupy Houston activists arrested during the protests, had not heard of the sniper plot, but said, “I find it hard to believe that such information would have been known to the FBI and that we would not have been told about it.” He then added darkly, “If it had been some right-wing group plotting such an action, something would have been done.But if it is something law enforcement was planning, then nothing would have been done. It might seem hard to believe that a law enforcement agency would do such a thing, but I wouldn’t put it past them.” He adds, “The use of the phrase ‘if deemed necessary,’ sounds like it was some kind of official organization that was doing the planning.” In other words, the “identified [DELETED” mentioned in the Houston FBI document may have been some other agency with jurisdiction in the area, which was calculatedly making plans to kill Occupy activists. Kennedy knows first-hand the extent to which combined federal-state-local law enforcement forces in Houston were focused on disrupting and breaking up the Occupy action in that city. He represented seven people who were charged with felonies for a protest that attempted to block the operation of Houston’s port facility. That case fell apart when in the course of discovery, the prosecution disclosed that the Occupiers had been infiltrated by three undercover officers from the Austin Police department, who came up with the idea of using a device called a “sleeping dragon” -- actually chains inside of PVC pipe -- which are devilishly hard to cut through, for chaining protesters together blocking port access. The police provocateurs, Kennedy says, actually purchased the materials and constructed the “criminal instruments” themselves, supplying them to the protesters. As a result of this discovery, the judge tossed out the felony charges. FBI Response WhoWhatWhy contacted FBI headquarters in Washington, and asked about this document—which, despite its stunning revelation and despite PCFJ press releases, was (notwithstanding a few online mentions) generally ignored by mainstream and “alternative” press alike. The agency confirmed that it is genuine and that it originated in the Houston FBI office. (The plot is also referenced in a second document obtained in PCJF’s FOIA response, in this case from the FBI’s Gainesville, Fla., office, which cites the Houston FBI as the source.) That second document actually suggests that the assassination plot, which never was activated, might still be operative should Occupy decisively re-emerge in the area. It states: On 13 October 20111, writer sent via email an excerpt from the daily [DELETED] regarding FBI Houston’s [DELETED] to all IAs, SSRAs and SSA [DELETED] This [DELETED] identified the exploitation of the Occupy Movement by [LENGTHY DELETION] interested in developing a long-term plan to kill local Occupy leaders via sniper fire. Asked why solid information about an assassination plot against American citizens exercising their Constitutional right to free speech and assembly never led to exposure of the plotters’ identity or an arrest—as happened with so many other terrorist schemes the agency has publicized—Paul Bresson, head of the FBI media office, offered a typically elliptical response: The FOIA documents that you reference are redacted in several places pursuant to FOIA and privacy laws that govern the release of such information so therefore I am unable to help fill in the blanks that you are seeking. Exemptions are cited in each place where a redaction is made. As far as the question about the murder plot, I am unable to comment further, but rest assured if the FBI was aware of credible and specific information involving a murder plot, law enforcement would have responded with appropriate action. Note that the privacy being “protected” in this instance (by a government that we now know has so little respect for our privacy) was of someone or some organization that was actively contemplating violating other people’s Constitutional rights— by murdering them. That should leave us less than confident about Bresson’s assertion that law enforcement would have responded appropriately to a “credible” threat.

ZIOCONS URGE MILITARY INTERVENTION IN SYRIA AFTER MEETING WITH BIBI NETHANYAHUD

FOR ISRAHELL ...Senior Republican senators urge Obama to intervene in Syria
Steve Linde, Noa Amital, JPost, Jul 1 2013
Two ranking Republican members of the US Senate Armed Services Committee [[[[[urged the Obama administration on Sunday evening to take “decisive” action against the Assad regime in Syria.]]]][[[[[ John McCain and Lindsey Graham spoke at a news conference in Jerusalem after meeting with Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders.]]]] Graham said while they supported Jackass Kerry’s efforts to jump-start peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, the Syrian civil war was much more of a pressing issue.Graham warned: To me, we’re having misplaced priorities here. The peace process is important, but Syria is literally blowing apart: 100,000 dead. Both Graham and McCain dismissed a proposal for an international conference on the crisis. McCain, who visited Syria in late May, said: No one believes that Bashar Assad will agree to leave power when he’s on the winning side. Some of us have suggested that this conference take place in Munich rather than Geneva. Graham added: The idea of sitting down with the Russians and the Iranians, and expecting Assad to leave when he’s winning, to me makes no sense. I would urge that the same focus we’re spending on trying to restart the peace process, we should be spending our time trying to stop the slaughter in Syria. And when we say as a nation, our president says ‘Assad must go,’ we need to prove to people we mean it. And when our president said, ‘The use of chemical weapons is a red line,’ well, that red line has been crossed. I would just urge the administration to focus on Syria, because if you don’t get this right soon, the whole region is going down. McCain slammed the Obama administration for exhibiting a lack of leadership in the region, saying: We appreciate the efforts that our allies continue to make in the region, but we clearly see a region in turmoil, an example being the massive protests in Cairo today. It requires US leadership in every instance, and we are disappointed that there is an absence of US leadership. We see Hezbollah with as many as 5,000 troops in Syria, we see Russian equipment falling in on a daily basis, we see the Iranian Revolutionary Guards providing training equipment, boots and troops on the ground. Meanwhile, the freedom fighters have only light weapons. It is an unfair fight. So what we want to see is the declaration of a no-fly zone. We can take out their runways and negate their air power using PAC-3 missile batteries close to the no-fly zone and provide the weapons that they really need. AK-47s don’t do very well against tanks. They need anti-tank and anti-air weapons. That’s what I mean by US leadership. McCain said he did not recommend Israeli military action in Syria unless the country came under attack. He said: I think that Israel’s role is necessarily very limited unless there’s a direct threat by Hezbollah or on the Golan, because that could antagonize other countries in the region. No, I do not recommend any military action on the part of Israel at this time. I do recommend very strongly that we level the playing field with US assistance. Graham, who called Israel “our best ally in the Mideast and probably as good an ally as we have in the world,” added: Chemical weapons could fall into the wrong hands. [[[[[I worry more about the chemical weapons being used against USrael than I do about any weapons we give to rebel forces falling in the wrong hands]]]]]]. If we continue our policies toward Syria, if we do nothing, how do we convince Iran not to get a nuclear weapon? I have visited regularly for the past two years, and my worst fears are coming true every day. Our friends in Israel are being increasingly surrounded by more and more radical regimes who are hell bent on getting the most dangerous weapons. If we don’t start intervening in a decisive way to stop the slaughter in Syria and to end this conflict as quickly as possible, it’s going to take the whole region down with it. And the Iranians are measuring us every day. [[[[[We are in a proxy fight with Iran in Syria, and I don’t see any way the Iranians will stop their nuclear ambitions, given the policies we have toward Syria]]]]].

Xinjiang terrorists finding training, support in Syria

From a foreign student studying in Istanbul to a soldier receiving training in Syria's Aleppo, to a terrorist plotting attacks in China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, 23-year-old Memeti Aili said he felt like his dream was turned into a nightmare.Memeti Aili was recently caught by the police when returning to Xinjiang to complete his mission to "carry out violent attack and improve fighting skills" assigned by the East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM). ETIM is a terrorist group that aims to create an Islamist state in Xinjiang, which works alongside the East Turkistan Education and Solidarity Association (ETESA), an Istanbul-based exile group. "After hearing their lectures, all I could think about was jihad and I totally abandoned my studies and my family," he told the police. "But thinking back, it was like a nightmare."An anti-terrorism official told the Global Times in an exclusive interview that about 100 people like Memeti Aili had travelled to Syria to join the fighting alongside Syrian rebels since last year. "Their purpose is to overcome their fears, improve their fighting skills and gain experience in carrying out terror attacks," according to the official who declined to be named.Xinjiang, in China's far west, borders central Asia and is home to 10 million Uyghurs. It was rocked by two terror attacks that killed 35 people last week, just days ahead of the fourth anniversary of the July 5 riot in the capital Urumqi that left 197 people dead. Yu Zhengsheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, led a work team to Urumqi after President Xi Jinping on Friday arranged measures to safeguard social stability."We will step up efforts to crack down on terrorist groups and extremist organizations while tracking down those wanted for these crimes," Yu was quoted by the Xinhua News Agency.Unwelcome to battle In 2011, after graduating from university in Urumqi, Memeti Aili went to study in Turkey like many other Muslim Ugyhur students. Soon after settling down in Istanbul, someone from the ETESA approached and offered him "help."A year later, after studying the lessons they provided, Memeti Aili was informed by ETESA and ETIM that he had been selected to travel to Syria to join the fighting. Together with other young people, Memeti Aili travelled to Aleppo, the largest city located in northwestern Syria and arranged to join the rebels. The percentage of foreign fighters in Syria has reached up to 80 percent from 29 countries such as Libya, Turkey, Lebanon and Yemen, according to Omran Zoubi, Minister of Information in the Assad government.Before arriving in Syria, Memeti Aili said he had never touched a gun. Together these young people received seven days of training in the suburbs of Aleppo where there was no water or electricity supply, and food was scarce. "We had to change sites four times a day in fear of possible bombings from the Syrian army, therefore we didn't learn that much during that week," he recalled.During the training, he was shown how to shoot a gun and make bombs. But not all of them had the chance to practice and many just watched and hoped that something would sink in. After this rushed training, Memeti Aili was assigned to join the Free Syrian Army (FSA), an armed opposition structure operating in Syria."We were running around Aleppo like madmen to avoid possible bombings and air attacks," said Memeti Aili, "We didn't see the Syrian army, but we saw the places where our guys got hit by bombs and died." He helped to take the wounded to the local hospitals, but they were told only one hospital was still working and was frequently bombed. His comrades were left to die.What surprised Memeti Aili the most was that foreign fighters were not really welcomed by locals. "We thought that if we brought holy war into Syria we would be welcomed, but the fact is, we were told by the local people that we were not welcome as they didn't want their lifestyle to change," Memeti Aili said.Most of the inexperienced fighters were killed due to inappropriate gear. Luckily for him, Memeti Aili was assigned to nighttime patrols instead of fighting in the front lines. Two months later he was sent back to Istanbul.In a statement released on the groups's official website in 2012, the ETESA denied that any Uyghurs had traveled to Syria to join in the fighting and stated it was not associated with any terrorist organization."The Uyghurs have never participated in any terrorist activities or have never carried out any violent actions against anyone or any government," it said.
