International rightists foster Maduro's assassination
Assassination plans are being fostered by right-wing leaders internationally against Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro and other revolutionary leaders, as well as attempts against sister nations as Ecuador and Bolivia. Venezuelan minister of Interior relations, justice and peace Miguel Rodriguez Torres detailed such information last Wednesday night at an interview with Telesur network. According to intelligence investigations, ex-presidents of Colombia, Alvaro Uribe, and Hondura, Roberto Micheletti (who took office after a coup against Manuel Zelaya) and terrorist Luis Posada Carriles would be involved in plots against the Venezuelan president. Meetings to arrange the plot would had been held outside Venezuela, in countries as Colombia, Panama and the United States and they took place since last month of April, before presidential elections in this South American nation. "The first information we have dates back to April 4, 2013. They agreed there to meet again to plan violent actions in Venezuela prior elections. People involved are Alvaro Uribe, Roberto Micheletti, a delegate from Posada Carriles, an officer we think is active in Colombia and an alleged CIA official," explained the Minister. There, they agreed to get in touch with Venezuelan far-rightists to carry out destabilizing actions, he added. "We saw some lights in Venezuela before the elections, such as rallies and protests, but they did not reach the target." The local extreme right, Rodriguez Torres said, is made by those who took part on an oil sabotage in Venezuela in 2003, violent actions at Altamira square in Caracas, riots and the assassination of attorney Danilo Anderson, as well as those who contracted paramilitary soldiers in 2004 to murder Hugo Chavez. "These have always been brazen, irresponsible people who have never been so brave as to accept their mistakes." A second meeting would had been held on April 29 to plan subversive actions from Colombia. Rodriguez Torres said information was received in San Antonio, bordering state of Tachira, about an alleged order to elements tied to Alvaro Uribe. "In that opportunity, they talked about a patriotic strategic plan and we have a document from a Colombian armed group which certifies this." A more dangerous action was undertaken since May 8, 2013 according to the Venezuelan minister: "They thought that such hysteric rage suffered by the Right when president Maduro won (on April 14), they would overthrow the new government and they realized it did not happen. So, they start to change destabilizing plans to a plan to assassinate the Venezuelan Head of state." For it, a meeting was held in Bogota, Colombia, with Cuban citizens who live in Florida, United States, he detailed. It was attended by Eduardo Macaya aka Eddie, member of an anticommunist group in Miami and link with Posada Carriles; aka Julio, member of an armed group in Miami "which had dreamed of murdering Fidel Castro, Chavez and now Maduro;" and Many, an 80-year-old man who provides resources. As a matter of fact, minister Miguel Rodriguez Torres said that in order to achieve the plan of attempting against president Maduro's life, these groups count on about 2.5 million dollars. A scheduled event Interior relations, justice and peace minister Miguel Rodriguez Torres informed that assassination plans against president Nicolas Maduro were scheduled for last July 24, when Venezuela commemorates the birthday of liberator Simon Bolivar. "They start talking about carrying out the assassination on July 24 and it is absolutely logical. They know what a President does on July 24 because it is historic. The President takes a floral tribute to the Pantheon, then goes to the National Assembly, to a parade; I mean, the President is exposed the entire day. It is a tradition. They know exactly what the President does that day. Not a great intelligence analysis is needed to find out that," Rodriguez Torres said. Assassination plans would include revolutionary leaders as National Assembly chairperson Diosdado Cabello and members of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV). "Armed men in Venezuela expected to go against several political targets. The main target was president Nicolas Maduro. They think that killing president Maduro they would divide Chavez's movement and so they think it is the main target." Harassment on behalf of local and international rightists to end with the Bolivarian Revolution has been reported since the year 2002 and up to date, commented minister Rodriguez Torres. "There is a very extremist group in the Right, that we have been monitoring, which we may not point it as involved in this but we know they are linked to Alvaro Uribe. Among them Henrique Capriles." In addition, Rodriguez Torres recalled that Uribe is well known for his ties to drug trafficking and paramilitarism. "Between June 21 and July 8, we have a long list of calls from these elements to another in Venezuela, which we are still investigating. We refer to five calls in which they talk about logistics, weapons, dates, extension and they were even planning to bring weapons to Venezuela through Venezuelan ports, which they could not do." Another meeting to discuss the assassination of the Venezuelan president took place at Hotel Holiday Inn Express, in Bogota, Colombia, on July 22. The minister said it dealt with changing the date of the plan and actions on Miraflores Presidential Palace in Caracas. "They baptized our president as Baby. As the plan had been leaked and they start to investigate how the information is leaking, they change the plan, change the date. They hold another meeting in the surroundings of the mentioned hotel the following day at 21:45 hours in a vehicle, where they even request intelligence labors over Miraflores Palace, pictures of Palace, so as to continue with intelligence labors and delay the date," he explained. Minister Miguel Rodriguez Torres said rightists are talking now about carrying out their assassination plan against president Maduro by the second quarter of August. The plan now would include a sniper in a people assembly attended by Maduro in his Street Government program. "As they cannot do it in a date as the one they had on July 24, then they talk about monitoring Street Government to find a place where they may attempt against the President," Rodriguez Torres warned. Investigations are under way to get more details about the matter, he said, while all evidence will be submitted to the Public Ministry. Venezuelan bodies will reinforce the presidential security force and protect the Venezuelan people. "We have to watch for the security of our people and the president of the Republic," Rodriguez Torres affirmed. Other nations targeted Venezuelan minister of interior relations, justice and peace Miguel Rodriguez Torres warned that far-right groups have also discussed plots against the governments of Ecuador and Bolivia. Some groups proceed irrationally in the pursuit of power but they would abandon for the time being assassination plans disclosed by the Venezuelan government, he said. Those groups, Rodriguez Torres added, have as well rejected claims about oil sabotage by the end of 2002 and early 2003, as well as the 2002 coup against president Hugo Chavez; more recently, violent actions carried out on April 15-16 fostered by unconstitutional and fascist people, which resulted in 11 deaths and over 70 injured. As plots has been disclosed, these sectors cease their plans temporarily though actions against president Maduro go on, Rodriguez Torres stated. "While we cannot have access to masterminds of the plan, the best alternative is to denounce it regardless of what they may say," said the Minister and he added that Venezuelan intelligence groups are expected to request Colombia's support to go deeply into this investigation. Previous plans Previous investigations had also led to plans to carry out riots, seize the presidential palace and murder president Hugo Chavez during the last years have been, such as that which involved former metropolitan mayor of Caracas, Alfredo Peña, Orlando Urdaneta and Orbert Alonso. They had contracted a group of over 100 Colombian paramilitary soldiers back in 2004 for such action. "It is a complete group of extremist thinking with no moral, ethical or spiritual limitations to commit events of the kind and it is the same that wants to assassinate president Maduro today and murdered Danilo Anderson," he said. Furthermore, Rodriguez Torres mentioned Francisco Chavez Abarca, arrested in Venezuela in 2010. He figures in police records as accomplice and disciple of terrorist Luis Posada Carriles.

Extrajudicial killings of civilians by army a crime against humanity: Colombia court http://colombiareports.com/false-positives-a-crime-against-humanity-court/
A court in central Colombia has upgraded the extrajudicial execution of civilians by the armed forces to a crime against humanity, reported Caracol Radio on Friday. The case concerning the death of Farid Leonardo Porras, a young man from the city of Soacha who along with 10 others, was killed by the military and presented as a combat kill. MORE: 8 soldiers arrested for Soacha ‘false positives’ After reviewing the case, the High Court of Cundinamarca stated that the false positives were part of a “widespread and systematic pattern of behavior” which would thus raise the level of their actions to crimes against humanity. According to Caracol Radio, after the decision the court upgraded the sentences of five soldiers from 35 years to 55 years in prison and urged the Prosecutor General’s office to review current and past cases, taking this decision into account. Colombia’s false positives scandal is centered around the extrajudicial killings of thousands of civilians by members of the armed forces who dressed their victims as guerrillas in order to present them as combat kills. In a report sent at the request of Colombia Reports, the Prosecutor General’s Office said that since 1986, 3,896 civilians have been assassinated and subsequently presented as combat kills by members of the security forces.

Toronto’s Rachel Corrie play angers Israeli Jews  
Toronto-based Hart House Theatre’s 2005 play, ’My Name Is Rachel Corrie, is now playing at the Khan Theatre in Jerusalem. The play has recieved both praise and threats from the audience and the city officials. Jerusalem’s deputy Mayor David Hadari has threatened to cut Khan’s several thousand dollars budget if the show go on as planned, angering the Jewish team of the play. 
“It’s a pity that the deputy mayor, just as MK Orit Strouk before him, is hurrying to judge the play as inciting without even seeing it. They are both most welcome to come and see the play first to see what it’s all about,” says the statement issued by the theatre’s management.In May 2013, police arrested two Jews for defacing dozens of Khan Theatre posters showing a picture of Jewish actress Tamar Alkan, causing damage estimated at thousands of shekels.The play is based on the life of American student, Rachel Corrie, 23, who was crushed to death by an Israeli military bulldozer as she was trying to stop demolition of a Palestinian home on March 16, 2003. My Name is Rachel Corrie is a controversial, passionate and stunning account of one woman’s participation in events that most of us only experienced through watching the news. Since its sold-out opening in 2005, My Name is Rachel Corrie has acted as a catalyst for discussion and an eye-opener to the impact of western foreign policies on people living thousands of miles away. Watch a trailer below.The play’s screening at the New York Theater Workshop in March 2006 was also cancelled under Jewish Lobby pressure.After Jewish army occupied East Jerusalem, an old Christian pilgrim hostel building was turned into Khan Theatre on October 26, 1967 by the orders of Jerusalem Mayor Teddy Kollek.In March 2011, Dr. Steven Plaut (Haifa University) in his article ‘Welcome to Haifa, Mr. and Mrs. Corrie’, published in The Jewish Press (March 3, 2011), wrote: “Corrie has since become a sort of Mother Teresa for the radical left and apologists for Islamofascism. She is the martyr saint of the pro-terror lobby and is even celebrated by Klansman David Duke”.“On March 16th, 2003, an Israeli soldier driving a bulldozer two-stories high crushed to death 23-year-old Rachel Corrie, an American nonviolent human rights protester. According to numerous witnesses and photographic documentation, she was killed intentionally,” says Allison Weir, the founder of ‘If Americans Knew’ website. Reach full article here.
Dr. Lasha Darkmoon, an Anglo-American poet and writer, wrote a poem in honor of Corrie, which Patrick Willis sang in a video below.

Brazil’s Vinegar Revolution: Left in Form, Right in Content  Part 3 of 6: Washington’s Response - Protests by Gearóid Ó Colmáin / August 2nd, 2013
These are some of the reasons why Washington and its allies are attempting to carry out a vast, coordinated and covert regime change strategy in Brazil, in cahoots with Brazil’s ultra-reactionary comprador elites who detest the centre-left orientation of the Brazilian government and long for a return to the good old days of fascist dictatorship from 1964 to 1985. The class of people who will lose most in this game are the very people protesting, the new petite-bourgeoisie, a credit-bubble class who will default on their debts, thus falling back into proletarian and lumpen-proletarian classes. As already stated, there are very real …

Bob Filner now claims he was fooled by fake MEK charity in U.S. 

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner said Wednesday that he will pay out of his own pocket the nearly $10,000 it cost for his trip to France last month. Filner’s announcement came one day after U-T Watchdog reported that the IRS had no record of the organization Filner said paid his tab of being a U.S. tax-exempt nonprofit. Filner said his $9,839 in travel costs to Paris were covered by the Organization of Iranian-American Communities, a group Filner initially claimed was a charity organized under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3). “I have become aware that the OIAC’s representations regarding its non-profit status were inaccurate,” Filner said in a news release late Wednesday. “For this reason, I will reimburse OIAC for all amounts it paid for my travel and expenses in its international conference in Paris, France, above the $440 gift limit.” Filner filed a similar statement on a mid-year disclosure of gifts, filed Wednesday on the day it was due. The tax status is important because, under city and state law, officials such as Filner are prohibited from receiving gifts totaling more than $440 in a calendar year from most sources. Nonprofits are allowed to exceed that limit if facilitating the official’s appearance or speech at an event — such as the Iranian resistance rally Filner participated in. Filner’s trip to France has been controversial since he returned in late June. The U-T revealed on July 16 that two top aides to Filner increased their city charge-card limits to $30,000 each in advance of Filner’s trip. Councilman Kevin Faulconer sent a series of questions to interim Chief Financial Officer Greg Bych in response to that story, in large part because of the cost to the taxpayers for the trip. Filner later released some details of the trip’s funding, including the cost of his travel covered by the outside group and the cost of his security detail’s travel, covered by taxpayers — $21,244. Filner has said that his fiancee, Bronwyn Ingram, paid her own way. The two have since broken up, and Ingram has not returned messages seeking confirmation that she paid her own way. Filner’s spokeswoman did not respond to calls for comment seeking more information about Filner repaying the Iranian-American organization. Faulconer, chairman of the city’s audit committee, said Filner’s actions in reimbursing the group for the trip confirm a suspicion Faulconer had — that the gift was illegal. “As Chairman of the City’s Audit Committee, I’ve continued to ask questions about Mayor Filner’s junket because the story doesn’t add up,” Faulconer said. “Nothing makes sense about a San Diego Mayor taking this trip to France. I’m going to continue to investigate to determine if other rules meant to protect taxpayers were broken.” Felipe Monroig, president of the San Diego County Taxpayers Association, also said Filner’s action was inadequate. “Mayor Filner has announced that he’ll cover the roughly $9,000 cost of his recent trip to Paris,” Monroig said. “Yet, there remains a much larger cost for his security detail that taxpayers are still on the hook for. Since it’s clear the Mayor’s trip to Paris was little more than a vacation, the Taxpayers Association calls on him to do the right thing and reimburse the full cost, which was upwards of $30,000.” Filner has previously accepted travel from groups that are part of the National Council of Resistance of Iran. He went to Paris in June 2011 as a member of Congress. He also took a similar trip in June 2007, federal records show. His 2011 trip cost $6,589 and was paid for by Colorado’s Iranian American Community, a group tied to the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq or MEK, the militant — and largest — arm of the National Council of Resistance of Iran. The 2007 trip to France, also paid for by Colorado’s Iranian American Community, cost $7,949. The plane ticket in that case was business class. Filner is not alone in accepting travel from the Iranian groups. Others who have gone include former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Rep. Patrick Kennedy of Rhode Island. In large part, the trips were part of a lobbying campaign to remove the MEK from the U.S. State Department’s foreign terrorist organizations list. In a speech to the group, Filner compared their plight to the U.S. civil rights movement. “This will happen,” Filner said in a speech to the group in 2011. “This will happen. The laws, the facts, are on our side.” The de-listing effort succeeded last year.

Syrians Kidnap for Ransom Lebanese Citizen in Arsal http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/92939-syrians-kidnap-for-ransom-lebanese-citizen-in-arsal
 A number of Syrians kidnapped on Friday a Lebanese citizen in the Bekaa region, reported the National News Agency. It said that Syrians from the town of Yabrod in Syria, near the border with Lebanon, kidnapped Abbas Qasas in the Lebanese town of Arsal. Qasas, who hails from Younin in the Bekaa, was taken by his captives to Yabrod. The kidnappers later demanded 120,000 dollars as a ransom from his family. On Thursday, men from Arsal kidnapped a Lebanese citizen Youssef al-Meqdad while he was buying goods in their town. The abduction came in retaliation to a recent robbery which Arsal residents blamed on young men from al-Meqdad family. In March, a wave of abductions erupted between residents of Arsal and the Hermel region, after unknown individuals kidnapped 30-year-old Hussein Kamel Jaafar who hails from the Hermel town of al-Bustan. The incident prompted members of the Jaafar clan to nab several Arsal residents.

 
Nasrallah in Rare Public Appearance: Israel Demise a Lebanese Interest, Resistance to Protect Country alongside Army http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/92953-nasrallah-in-rare-public-appearance-israel-demise-a-lebanese-interest-resistance-to-protect-country-alongside-army
Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Friday noted that “Israel's demise is a national Lebanese interest,” stressing that Hizbullah will continue to “protect our country alongside the national Lebanese army" and that it will not "abandon Palestine," as he made a rare public appearance at a rally in Dahieh. It was the first appearance in public since last September for Nasrallah, public enemy number one for Israel and a staunch ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad whose troops have been battling an insurgency since 2011. His appearance comes less than two weeks after the European Union listed Hizbullah's military wing as a "terrorist" organization. “Entire Palestine, from the sea to the river, must return to its people. No one in the world, no king, prince, Sayyed, leader, president or state has the right to give up a single grain of sand of Palestine's land,” said Nasrallah in a speech marking Quds (Jerusalem) Day. This day “aims to remind Muslims and the world of the Palestinian cause and to rescue Jerusalem from the hands of the Zionist occupiers and it is an occasion to shed light on what Palestine and its people are suffering from the siege, Judaization, starvation and the demolition of holy sites,” Nasrallah said. “Today, on August 2, 2013, we critically need to commemorate the occasion, and I thank all of you for heeding the call of (late) Imam (Ruhollah) Khomeini,” leader of the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Nasrallah told supporters. He warned that Israel poses a “grave and permanent threat to all the states and peoples of this region and its capabilities, security, dignity, safety and sovereignty, and anyone who denies that would be practicing obstinacy.” “Therefore, it is not only an existential threat to Palestine's people, but also to all the peoples and civilizations of the region,” added Nasrallah. “The removal of the usurper entity is in the interest of the entire Islamic world and the entire Arab world and it is also a national interest for every country in the region. Israel poses a threat to Jordan and its demise is a national Jordanian interest, it poses a threat to Lebanon and Israel's demise is a national Lebanese interest,” he went on to say. He added that accordingly, “anyone who stands in the face of the Zionist scheme anywhere in our region and through any means, would be defending his country, people and the future of his children and grandchildren, in addition to defending Palestine.” He called for highlighting the priority of “this conflict with the Zionist scheme in Lebanon, Syria and Jerusalem.” “All the massacres and plights that we suffered in Lebanon and the region can be attributed to abandoning the priorities and responsibilities,” Nasrallah noted. “Unfortunately, some in the Arab world who are backed by the states and governments of the West are blocking and preventing this priority and are pushing peoples to endorse other priorities and are inventing new wars. First they spoke of the communist expansion and Palestine was forgotten and they spent billions and came up with books, conferences and wars. Then they invented the Iranian and Persian expansion and a war that cost billions was waged against Iran. Had they spent only one tenth on Palestine, it would have been liberated,” he added. “They then used the so-called Shiite expansion and said the priority is confronting the Shiite threat because it poses a greater threat to the nation than the Zionist scheme. To many, Israel is not a threat and an enemy anymore,” Nasrallah lamented. He added that what's worse is that “they gave some local conflicts a sectarian nature.” “In Egypt, there is an acute political rift, but it is political and not sectarian. The same applies to Yemen, Tunisia and Libya. But when it comes to countries that have diversity, such as Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Bahrain, the political conflict is turned into a sectarian conflict and they invoke the conflicts of history,” Nasrallah noted. “Isn't it time for the peoples of the region to realize that some parties are seeking to destroy the region and its countries, armies and peoples? They don't only want to fragment the nations but also to fragment the peoples into sects. Isn't it time for the peoples of the region to point their fingers at the countries that are sponsoring this destructive, spiteful scheme, which is the most dangerous scheme our region has witnessed?” he said. Nasrallah pointed out that anyone backing the “Takfiri groups” ideologically, financially and in the media and anyone “pushing them to the battlefields” bears the first responsibility for all the “ongoing destruction.” Hizbullah's leader called on everyone to realize the threats and “exert strenuous efforts in every country to resolve its issue through dialogue and halt the bloodshed, in Syria, Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Pakistan and Somalia,” noting that “unfortunately, wherever these Takfiri groups go, there will be disasters.” “In Hizbullah, we have always and will continue to seek common denominators and to organize and postpone our differences, because the disputes have become destructive,” he said. “Where will this madness lead everyone? This is the responsibility of all the scholars and for the sake of the entire nation efforts must unite to defeat this destructive scheme,” added Nasrallah. But he reassured that “our people are capable of defeating this scheme and God willing it will be defeated.” “We in Hizbullah stress our commitment to these principles, for which our enemies and sometimes our friends criticize us,” he added. Addressing the dispute with the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas over the conflict in Syria, Nasrallah said: “We in Hizbullah will keep supporting Palestine and we're keen on good ties with all the Palestinian forces, although we might have our differences sometimes over Syria and Palestine.” “Whatever the doctrinal, religious or political dispute might be, Palestine must remain the main cause,” he stressed. Nasrallah thanked Hizbullah's regional allies Iran and Syria “for all they are doing for Palestine.” Turning to Lebanon, Nasrallah said: “We will remain a vigilant and alert resistance to protect our country alongside the national Lebanese army and we send a big salutation to its command, officers, soldiers and wounded.” He also noted that certain forces ]are seeking to “remove the Shiites of the Arab and Islamic worlds from the equation.” “Describe us as rejectionists, describe us as terrorists, describe us as criminals, say whatever you want and keep killing us ... On every front, at the door of every hussainiyah and mosque, we the Shiites of Ali bin Abi Taleb will not abandon Palestine,” Nasrallah vowed.

Prof Craven Omahkohkiaaiipooyii: INDIANS, JEWS, PALESTINIANS AND ZIONISTS 
Introduction
Indians and real [non-Zionist] Jews, just as Indians and Palestinians, are natural allies. But Indians and Zionists have as much in common as Indians and the historical and present-day Settlers of the Americas who were/are bent on the forcible removal, extermination and/or forced assimilation of all Indians; that which also parallels the past and present-day Zionist Settlers in Israel that clearly have the same intentions with respect to Palestinians.As various Indigenous realities and struggles increasingly appear as just and imperative for any chance of survival as Peoples, because of the historical and present-day realities of genocide and international law that cannot be ignored or covered-up any longer, all sorts of nefarious forces, with nefarious intentions. hiding behind masks and offering “sugar-coated bullets”, are surfacing and trying to attach themselves with, and gain some kind of legitimacy through, some elements among Indigenous Nations and remnants of Nations in the Americas.Certain elements from the Taiwan “independence” forces have been attempting to forge “sports” and “cultural” exchanges between certain First Nations “Traditional” Indians in Canada and the U.S., suggesting that the present-day people of Taiwan are “Indigenous” and with the same rights under international law: to independence; self-determination; sovereignty; non-interference in internal affairs; UN membership as nation-states; to return to “traditional governments” as do the First Nations Peoples in Canada and the U.S. They argue that “facts on the ground and international law parallel, in the case Taiwan, the respective cases of and for First Nations in the Americas that are being made by Traditional Indians opposing genocide in the Americas as well as serial breaches of Treaties and Treaty rights and other threats to the continued existence of Indigenous people as Peoples. There are also overtures being made to certain First Nations by elements favoring “independence” of Tibet.Of course the historical reality is that the true Indigenous Peoples of Taiwan were systematically exterminated in the early 1900s by the Japanese and later between 1945 and 49 by the Kuomintang on Taiwan the predecessors of some of the the present-day right-wing elements trying to promote Taiwan “independence” and “sovereignty”

An ultra-Orthodox Jew — an Israeli citizen who’s part of a group that finds religious reasons to oppose the existence of the State of Israel — has been arrested for spying on behalf of Iran.
The way this Israeli was hired by the Iranians and run by his spymasters shows the low quality of Iran’s efforts to dig into the hidden secrets of Israel.
The man’s arrest has just been publicly confirmed by Israeli officials, but he is not being named. He is a member of the Neturei Karta sect. The men look like classic Hassidic Jews: with large black coats, beards, long sidelocks, and usually with large furry hats.
Perhaps one would think that someone with such a “Jewish” appearance would be above suspicion — and therefore might be an excellent choice to be a spy. But Neturei Karta members have made quite a splash with their anti-Zionist activities such as visiting Iran and praising the Palestinian radicals of Hamas.In any event, this man — while visiting Germany — offered his services to the Iranian embassy in Berlin. He had two motives, according to interrogators of Shin Bet (Israel’s domestic security agency): hatred for Israel, and financial rewards from the Iranians. He acted on his own — not sent by Neturei Karta colleagues.At Jerusalem’s district court, officials said the accused is 47 years old. [[[[[The charges against him include contact with a foreign agent and “intention to betray” Israel.]]]]]Prosecutors, based on what the man told Shin Bet, allege that he offered to “murder a Zionist,” if that is what the Iranians would want him to do. In an early misunderstanding, the Iranians thought he was asking for political asylum.For some reason, when three Iranian diplomats — probably the embassy’s intelligence officers — engaged the wayward Israeli in conversation, he chided them for failing to defend their own country against “the Zionists.” He specifically needled them over the assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists in Tehran (a series of operations our book describes as Mossad missions).One of the three Iranians, using the code name “Hajji Baba,” said he would be the Israeli spy’s point of contact. They gave him a password for a “dead e-mail box,” which the two sides can share without even sending e-mails to other addresses. That is where he would look for messages.The man returned to Jerusalem and tried to communicate with his Iranian handlers from internet cafes and even from public phone booths.
[[[[[It is worth noting that ultra-Orthodox Jews are forbidden by their religious leaders from using computers — one of the strictures meant to insulate them from “promiscuous” elements of modern, secular life.]]]]]] In terms of tradecraft, the would-be James Bond was a rank amateur. [[[[[Israeli officials say no damage was caused. He was arrested before he could provide the Iranians with any information ]]]]— [[[[if he, in any event, was able to collect anything that a newspaper reader or TV viewer would know.]]]]
[ed note;did you catch that?if in any event he was able to collect anything it would be what a regular newspaper or tv watcher would have been able to access ,so much for the james bond theory lol

The indictment happens to mention what he was wearing when he entered Iran’s embassy in Berlin: white shirt, black trousers, long fringes (“tzizit”) from an undergarment visible from his midsection. Perhaps he himself provided that description — but it’s equally likely that Germany’s intelligence agency, BND, photographs the entrances of Iran’s embassy on a 24-hour basis. The BND has a long history of close cooperation with Israel’s Mossad and Shin Bet.
The Iranian side behaved professionally. The “diplomats” didn’t reject him right away and gave him a coded means of communication. But they also seemed to be suspicious that he might be an agent of provocation sent by the Mossad or the BND. The Iranians were fairly cautious.This was the third case in which an Israeli Jew initiated contact with Iran. The two previous cases took place in Turkey.There also were a few cases in which Arab citizens of Israel were recruited by Iran — either by that nation’s own intelligence agency or by the Shi’ite Muslim radicals of Lebanon’s Hezbollah.
Luckily for Israel, all in all, Iranian intelligence coverage of the Jewish state is very poor.
[ed notes:trying to stop laughing ,this is so pathetic...so lets recap,the man was acting alone,not part of naturei karta(even though most naturei karta jews oppose state of israhell),[[[[he walked into the Iranian embassy in germany]]]]]!!!!,therefore hes a spy who betrayed israhell a state wich his sect denounces as illegitimate ...no doubt naturei karta members are all being investigated and spied upon,but that not being enough they must demonize the most successful jewish sect wich exposes israhells existance for what it is...an afront to judaism and worldwide jewry

Al-Qaeda Backers Found With US Contracts in Afghanistan
Tony Capaccio, Bloomberg, Jul 30 2013
Supporters of the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan have been getting US military contracts, and US officials are citing “due process rights” as a reason not to cancel the agreements, according to an independent agency monitoring spending. The US Army Suspension and Debarment Office has declined to act in 43 such cases, John Sopko, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, said today in a letter accompanying a quarterly report to Congress. Sopko said:

I am deeply troubled that the US military can pursue, attack, and even kill terrorists and their supporters, but that some in the US government believe we cannot prevent these same people from receiving a government contract.

The 236-page report and Sopko’s summary provide one of the watchdog agency’s most critical appraisals of US performance in helping to build a stable Afghanistan as the Pentagon prepares to withdraw combat troops by the end of next year. Sopko, whose post was mandated by Congress, said:

There appears to be a growing gap between the policy objectives of Washington and the reality of achieving them in Afghanistan, especially when the government must hire and oversee contractors to perform its mission.

  Regarding the 43 cases of contractors with militant connections, Sopko said the Army should “enforce the rule of common sense” in its suspension and debarment program. According to the agency’s report:

They may be enemies of the US, but that is not enough to keep them from getting government contracts.

ZIONISTS SECTARIAN PLOTS AGAINST SYRIA BLAMED ON ASSAD... http://www.demdigest.net/blog/2013/08/mideasts-sectarian-battle-lines-drawn-tensions-fueled-by-politics-not-theology/
“Fears are growing the Syrian war might become a region-wide religious conflict,” says a leading commentator.“Sectarianism in Syria has undeniably been given an opportunity to flourish as overseas involvement in the war has grown,” writes the FT’s Michael Peel: The conflict has long been a proxy conflict between Russia and Iran on the regime side, and the western and Gulf States that back the rebels. While this is in large part a political and ideological battle, the rivalry between the Gulf capitals and Shia-ruled Tehran also has a strong religious dimension.“The genie of militant sectarianism is out of the bottle” in Syria, Thomas Hegghammer and Aaron Zelin argued in a Foreign Affairs article published last month.“Before long, Syria’s civil war could turn into an all-out sectarian conflict involving the entire region,” they caution.“Yet some observers say this verdict is too bleak, conforming to a classical western view of the Middle East as a region governed by immutable historical prejudices,” notes Peel.

[[[[The communal tensions in Syria are used by the regime to spread chaos, a construct that may yet die with the Assad hegemony, says analyst Robin Yassin-Kassab (left), co-editor of the Critical Muslim and www.pulsemedia.org.]]]]]]“The longer the regime lasts, the more time it has to make good on its promise to regionalize the conflict….But the revolution continues on the ground and this provides reason to hope,” he argues.“When uneducated people face a regime which instrumentalizes and exploits sectarian hatred, which indulges in sectarian massacres, and when those people are traumatized, then sometimes they will respond in sectarian ways,” he contends.“In these terrible and traumatizing circumstances, I think the revolution is doing incredibly well,” he added, praising “some truly excellent leaders” who “speak in non-sectarian and intelligent terms,” as well as “thousands of local leaders on the ground of remarkable quality.”
[ed notes;not one mention of the mushrikun brotherhood ,or puppet gulf countries direct funding and fueling of sectarian hatred,none,zip! notice he also doesnt mention ''one single name'' of these excellent leaders who speak in non sectarian terms or one of thousands of ground eladers on the ground of remarkable qualities lol this is not surprising,considering robin yassin kassabs documented record since beggining of conflict denying that there was any armed opposition,that there were foreign figthers coming to aid rebels,and who vehemently denied any opposition violence against ordinary civilians,though i showed him endless videos from opposition themselves proving that to be case..his best counter arguments were deleting my comments as quickly as possible lol

Sectarian ideology“There is a belief – bordering at times on desperation – among some Syrians that the country will always pull back from a full sectarian war,” notes Peel: But the harsh truth is that, in an ever more brutal conflict, a near 1,400-year-old schism within Islam is already serving as a potent rallying point. Whether sectarian ideology is ultimately a symptom or a cause of the conflict may matter little if it increasingly defines the boundaries on which the struggle is drawn.The “very disturbing” rise in prominence of Salafist groups is due to “the failure of the Arabs, Europe and others to allow the Syrian people to arm themselves,”  says Yassin-Kassab, author of The Road From Damascus, who blogs at www.qunfuz.com. Nonetheless, “this is a popular revolution,” so “the question of me feeling alienated from [it] does not arise,” he writes. “The people are facing a genocide, a fascist regime which is actively destroying the people, the social fabric, the heritage, the infrastructure.”
[ed notes:let me openly state that yassin is nothing more then a brittish intelligence agent ,whos job is clearly defined by shadowy interests...see him talking at a soros event regarding syria for example..

Triggering Sectarianism in Syria, Destabilizing the Secular State

Ankara holds talks between al-Nusra and PYD
World Bulletin (Turkey), Jul 30 2013
Turkey has started negotiations regarding the clashes in the Kurdish region of northern Syria between PYD forces and Jabhat al-Nusra in pursuit of a cease-fire. According to Muzaffer Duru’s report in Taraf, the Syrian Opposition Forces National Coalition, headed by Kurdish-descended Abd’ul-Basit Sayda, has intervened to end the conflict between the PYD and al-Nusra. The PYD and al-Nusra forces have been fighting for 14 days in Ras al-Ayn in northern Syria. The Commission has started negotiations with the National Kurdish Council for peace talks between the PYD and al-Nusra. FSA commander General Selim Idris, who spoke with Taraf regarding the conflicts between al-Nusra and the PYD, said:

We do not want any more blood to flow. Our only goal currently is the toppling of Bashar al-Assad’s regime. Afterwards everyone will get their democratic rights.

An al-Nusra regional commander said regarding the subject:

While we were engaged in fighting against the regime, the PYD used the opportunity to capture Ras al-Ayn where we have lived together. We are not attacking Ras Al-Ayn. We just want to get it back.

According to local sources, the reason the clashes have continued between the PYD and al-Nusra is because both sides are receiving support, otherwise the conflict would not have lasted this long. It has been gathered that political Kurdish and Arab leaders have been mediating between the two sides, with no results as of yet. While the opposition has urged both sides to return to their prior positions, the PYD has not adopted this approach. Due to meeting held by Abd’ul-Basit Sayda, Abd’ul-Ehed Siteyfo and commission members with the National Kurdish Council in order to prevent the growth of conflict, there have been no clashes since last night. Meanwhile, head of the Sharia Court Abu Usama explained the following regarding the announcement made from a mosque. His statement said:

The Kurds in Abyad’li Tel are our brothers. We do not know who made the announcement from a mosque. Peace is necessary for all of us. The Kurds who left their homes should return. Incidents of theft at Kurdish homes should be reported to us immediately. Statements harmful to Kurds should be disregarded.

The 82%
The US Public Interest Research Group has published a new study finding that 82 of the top 100 publicly-traded US corporations have subsidiaries in offshore tax havens:“All told, these 82 companies maintain 2,686 tax haven subsidiaries. The 15 companies with the most money held offshore collectively operate 1,897 tax haven subsidiaries.…Bank of America: The bank reports having 316 subsidiaries in offshore tax havens – more than any other company. The bank, which was kept afloat by taxpayers during the 2008 financial meltdown, now keeps $17.2 billion offshore, on which it would otherwise owe $4.5 billion in U.S. taxes.”

Classified massacre
ProPublica reports that the US government will not be releasing the findings of its inquiry into the killing of “perhaps thousands of Taliban prisoners of war” in Afghanistan:“The investigation found that no U.S. personnel were involved, said White House spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden. Other than that, she said, there is ‘no plan to release anything.’The silence leaves many unanswered questions about what may have been one of the worst war crimes since the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, including why previous American investigations were shut down, and how evidence was destroyed in the case.”

Photographer Recounts Ordeal at Hands of Islamists in Syria
 He was kidnapped in Syria by an armed group, held by Islamists and freed by a pro-Assad official -- Jonathan Alpeyrie spent 81 days in captivity in one of the world's most dangerous countries. In a detailed account of his ordeal to weekly Paris Match, the 34-year-old photographer -- who returned to France last week after being released -- [[[recalled mock executions and scenes of torture.]]]] "I was betrayed by my fixer (local translators who help journalists in foreign countries), who sold me out," he said, remembering the moment on April 29 when masked men stopped his vehicle on the road to Rankos, north of Damascus. "They pushed me to my knees and pretended to execute me with several gun shots. Then they gagged and handcuffed me." He was taken to a house along with the fixer, who was later freed by another group of "bearded" men.  Alpeyrie eventually met the chief of the clan holding him captive -- "Assad, an Islamist", whose group "Katiba al-Islam" controls Rankos. "One day, they simulated the act of cutting my throat", he said. Eventually he was moved to another house in the countryside, where he spent the first week chained to a window before being allowed to move more freely. "As the weeks went by, the bombings were becoming more intense. You could feel that the (regime) soldiers were getting nearer. We were attacked by MiGs (Russian fighter planes). The bombs were falling just 50 meters (164 feet) away," he said. Alpeyrie told the weekly magazine that he also witnessed the torture of four Christian Shabihas (pro-Assad militia) who had been captured. "They were setting dogs on them, they hit them with their belts. I heard their screams, it was horrible. It lasted a week." The photographer also recalled lighter moments with his captors, including teaching Assad to swim in a nearby pool. "In the water, he started to panic. I held him like a baby," he said. Then on July 18, a "sheikh" told him he was going to be freed. He was driven to Yabroud, north of Damascus, to the man's flat. "Two men arrived... One of them spoke perfect English. He told me: 'Jonathan, you are now free. We are from the government and you're going to Damascus'. "I collapsed. I could picture myself ending up in a government prison." He was driven to a house in Damascus where he says he met the "businessman" who paid a "ransom" to the rebels. According to Alpeyrie, the man is on a black list of Syrian dignitaries drawn up by the West and paid $450,000 (340,000 euros) for his release. Alpeyrie was driven to neighboring Lebanon, from where he eventually flew to Paris

Jihadis hold 200 Syria Kurds hostage: NGO
News International (Pakistan), Aug 1 2013
BEIRUT – Jihadi groups linked to Al-Qaeda have taken hostage around 200 Kurdish civilians after violent clashes with Kurdish fighters in two villages of eastern Syria, according to a monitoring group in the UK. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said:

Fighters of Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) have seized control of Tal Aren village in Aleppo province and are laying siege to another village nearby, Tal Hassel. They have taken hostage around 200 civilians from the inhabitants of the two villages.

On Tuesday, Syria’s main Kurdish militia, the Committees for the Protection of the Kurdish People (YPG), issued a call to arms to battle Jihadis, after a Kurdish leader was killed following weeks of clashes between the minority group and radical Islamists. A YPG statement said:

It is clear that FSA battalions are coordinating with Jihadi groups. Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS have become one side with the FSA in attacking the Kurdish people. Despite our repeated calls to the National Coalition and the FSA command, to date these parties have failed to take a clear position. We call on the Kurdish people to step forward. Anyone fit to bear arms should join the ranks of the YPG and face the assaults of these armed groups.

Isa Huso, a prominent Kurdish politician, was assassinated as he left his house in the city of Qamishli, a pro-Kurdish news agency reported. That raised to new heights Kurdish resentment against the main opposition National Coalition and FSA. Mohammed Mustafa, a Kurdish politician and member of the SNC, said the call to arms came as no surprise. He told AFP via the Internet:

These obscurantist groups are not focusing on Homs or Damascus province, where there are open battles against the regime. Instead, they are assaulting areas that have fallen out of regime control and attacking the Kurds. Opponents accuse the Kurds of being pro-regime, when in fact it is the Jihadis who are helping the regime and all those who want to see Syria’s future destroyed.
