Could this be the real reason the U.S. doesn’t want to leave Iraq? Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki made it clear that Iraq and Iran are coming together to act as a regional power.
On May 16, Maliki told Iranian media that Iraq and Iran will expand military, as well as economic, cooperation. He said the ongoing situation in the Middle East (caused by Western forces) demands that the ancient powers of Iraq and Iran must work together to create stability in the Middle East.
14 Muslims are suing their government for spying on them. Some of those suing the Japanese authorities actually worked for police to spy on their fellow Muslims.
It’s not just the fact that Muslims are being spied on in Japan, the Japanese police actually published their data on the internet!
This is not the first time police made spy data available to the public, resulting in a lawsuit. In December 2010, a Japanese book publisher was sued for printing a book with recent police spy data in it.
A report from Ireland shows that sex crimes committed by Catholic leaders has continued, and actually increased.
The National Board for the Safeguarding of Children in the Catholic Church says in 2010, reported cases of sex abuse by Irish Catholic leaders increased by 38%, over 2009.
The Vatican has just released new rules for church leaders to deal with such claims. Basically local Bishops have been ordered to report sex abuse claims to the police. Critics point out that the new Vatican rules are useless because many of those Bishops are actually trying to cover up such crimes.
“The overall plan would need to be like an onion, each layer concealing the one below.”-Richard Dearlove, former SIS (MI-6) chief
When it comes to the long history of Iraq and the British Empire it’s always been about the oil.
The United Kingdom’s Secret Intelligence Service (aka MI-6, aka SIS-4) has revealed documents that show that the British interest in the invasion of Iraq was all about controlling the oil.
The report appears in the U.K. newspaper The Daily Mail. SIS officers and the Blair administration discussed ways to “new security in oil supplies” by invading Iraq. The British Empire first took over Iraq after World War 1, for the purpose of surrounding Russia in what’s called the Great Game (which many think is still going on), and mainly to develop Iraq’s oil fields. Invading Iraq in the 21st century gave the U.K. another chance at controlling that oil.
The SIS documents also show that Richard Dearlove, then boss of the intelligence service, was concerned about the legality of the invasion. He wanted the input of “Government law officers to provide assurances of legality (there has been a serious problem here).”
If you need more proof that the U.K. was in the Iraq invasion for the oil, just compare how many oil contracts went to U.S. companies, to how many went to British companies.
“We must bow before the courage, the bravery, of those who protested yesterday at Lebanon and Syria’s borders with occupied Palestine, who faced the tyranny of the enemy with bare chests and their heads held high.”-Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah
The leader of the Lebanese organization Hezbollah, said protesters gave Nakba “new meaning”.
Nasrallah also said: “…the fate of this entity (Israel) is demise, and that no initiatives, treaties or borders will protect it.”
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad dismissed the Oil Ministry, and says he will run Iran’s Oil Ministry himself: “The Iranian government and Parliament (Majlis) have consensus on the Oil Ministry merger…I am the caretaker for the Oil Ministry.”
Iran’s Five Year Development Plan requires the merger of several Ministries, to make the government more efficient. Those mergers are Roads and Transportation with Housing and Urban Development, Energy with Oil, Industries and Mines with Commerce, and Welfare and Social Security with Labor and Social Affairs.
Despite the fact that the mergers are required by law, under the five year plan, Ahmadinejad is being criticized by those ministers who’ve lost their jobs.
Some Parliament members say Ahmadinejad was supposed to get their approval before merging the ministries. Ahmadinejad says the Parliament did approve the Oil Ministry merger.
Pakistan officials say a Saudi Arabian diplomat was gun down by people on a motorcycle. They say the “consulate employee” was shot multiple times.
“God had put us under three oaths during King Solomon that we are never to rebel against any nation where we are law citizens and residing in, we should not go back in mass to the Holy Land, and we should not make any attempt to end exile. So therefore, the concept of a Jewish sovereignty is forbidden in Judaism.”-Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss
Not only has Weiss used the Tora to show that the creation of the Israeli nation is an abomination to God, but he used legal documents from 1947 that showed Palestinian Jews voted against it. Many people in the West don’t realize that the Israelis didn’t force just Muslims into the refugee camps, but Palestinian Jews and Christians as well.
Israelis “…banished them (Palestinian Jews) from their homes.”
When asked how Israel should be described to Westerners, since he does not believe it to be a “Jewish” state, Weiss replied “It’s the state of Satan.” He pointed out that before the European Zionists arrived in Israel, in the 20th century, the Palestinian Muslims, Jews and Christians live together in peace.
Weiss showed photos of Jews being beaten by Israeli forces, inside Palestine, because they were protesting the Israeli government. He’s outraged that Israel is considered the representative of Jews around the world, and the Western media goes along with it. He called it “…the work of Satan.”
In reference to former U.S. President Jimmy Carter’s book calling Israel an apartheid system, Weiss said Israel is worse than apartheid.
Weiss said the Zionism that runs Israel was created by European Jews who hated their own religion: “…Zionism and its development into the state of Israel is a transformation of Judaism the religion…into base materialism, a nationalistic goal. It was created a mere hundred odd years ago by people who detested the religion…” Weiss added that Zionism is rooted in blasphemy against Judaism.
