World War 3: Iraqi leader defies U.S. & Arab League, says stay out of Syria!

“If the Arab nations who met in Doha were honest about wanting to stop the bloodshed, they would have stopped supplying arms…All their statements are hypocritical.”-Jihad Makdissi, spokesman for Syria’s Foreign Ministry

“This call is not appropriate at this time because it is interfering in the sovereignty of another country.”-Labid Abbawi, Deputy Foreign Minister of Iraq

23 July 2012, Iraqi leaders are denouncing the Arab League’s call to support the Free Syrian Army, create a de facto government supported by outsiders, and offer of a “safe exit” for President Bashar al-Assad.

Iraqi officials say the issue is “…the sole responsibility of the Syrian people” and everyone else should butt out!

Evil Elites: Check the facts, fithly rich are NOT the ones creating new jobs!

Right wing pro-unAmerican Corporate America supporters are spouting off that the evil elites are the ones we should thank for job creation.

Fact: According to the Congressional Research Service’s report titled Small Business and the Expiration of the 2001 Tax Rate Reductions: Economic Issues, cutting taxes would have little affect on job creation. Here’s why; business owners already deduct their employees’ wages off their company’s tax filings!

Fact: According to the Congressional Research Service, there is no evidence that tax breaks results in increased investment into businesses!

Fact: Traditionally, in a bad economy the main reason for reduced employment is that business revenues are down, due to reduced spending by consumers.  Reduced revenue means less taxes businesses have to pay anyway (why do you think local governments are going bust?)! Tax breaks to rich business owners do not solve that problem!

Fact: Recently the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities issued a report which showed that tax breaks to rich business owners has a net effect of…nothing!  In the extreme short term jobs might be created, or working hours lengthened, but in the longer run the rich business owners cut back so much they cancel out any employment increases made in the short run!!!

Fact: Studies show that the businesses creating the most new jobs are new small businesses. But the overwhelming majority of filthy rich are not involved in new small businesses, so why give the elites more tax breaks?  According to the U.S. Treasury (Department of the Treasury, Office of Tax Analysis Methodology to Identify Small Businesses and their Owners, Technical Paper 4, August 2011), only 7.6% of elites get their income from small business operations, and only 5.6% of those actually have employees!!!

Evil Elites: Check the facts, high taxes on the rich do NOT hurt small businesses!

Right wing pro-unAmerican Corporate America supporters are spouting off that raising taxes on the elites will hurt small business owners.

Fact: The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s own data (August 2011 technical paper titled Methodology to Identify Small Businesses and their Owners) shows that increasing taxes on the filthy rich will affect only 2.5% of small businesses!

Fact: According to the Small Business Administration, the reason is that about 21 million small businesses are “mom & pop” operations, meaning they have little to no employees (they are operated by the owners themselves), and the average yearly revenue is only $45,000!

Something else, the SBA says the overwhelming majority of U.S. businesses are “small businesses”, employing more than half the U.S. work force.  However, the SBA also points out that the survival rate is not good, with only 25% lasting 15 years or more.  Interestingly the SBA says the survival rate for the big corporations is almost the same!

What this tells me is that tax breaks for businesses, or the filthy rich, are not helping businesses to survive long term (20 years is long term).

World War 3: Syrian government warns of clone TV news reports. Arab League tries to shut down Syrian TV, same thing happened in Libya!

22 July 2012, Syria’s Information Ministry claims that U.S., European, Arab and Israeli agencies are cloning Syrian TV stations, for the purpose of presenting false news reports.

Syrian officials say already one TV station has been cloned, right down to the TV station’s logo and patriotic music.

The Arab League has repeatedly asked Arab satellite TV service providers to stop airing Syrian programs.  The Arab League managed to cut off Libyan TV shortly before U.S./European backed rebels murdered Gaddafi.

World War 3: Saudi Arabian intelligence official assassinated

22 July 2012, unconfirmed reports say an explosion hit the intelligence service headquarters of Saudi Arabia, killing one official.

It happened when the newly appointed intelligence boss, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, was entering the building in Riyadh. His deputy was killed.

Prince Sultan, longtime envoy to the United States (1983-2005), is considered a puppet of the U.S.: “…..is among the people who best understood U.S. policies and managed to deal well with the decision-makers.”-Anwar Eshki, Middle East Center for Strategic and Legal Studies

World War 3: U.S. puppet Arab League throws its support behind Free Syrian Army, calling for new Syrian govenment. Remember what happened in Libya? UN to be involved this time!

“We call on the opposition and the Free Syrian Army to form a government of national unity.”-Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, Prime Minister of Qatar

23 July 2012, the elitist Arab League has come out in full support of the Free Syrian Army, which is proof their so called observer missions to Syria were shams!

The Arab League has also pledged $100 million USD for refugees fleeing the war in Syria.  They also claim that defeating the Syrian government will end the killings. Yeah right! Look what happened to Libya, where the Arab League promised the same things!

One difference, this time the Arab League is asking the United Nations to get involved with creating and imposing any new Syrian government!

World War 3: Israel says the U.S. has NOT asked them to restrain themselves against attacking Syria! Israel working with U.S. for more War! Claiming Syrian troops entered Israel!

“We are working very closely together and there is very close coordination.”-unnamed Israeli official

23 July 2012, Israeli media reporting that Israeli officials have denied earlier reports that U.S. officials asked them to restrain from any military action against Syria.  In fact they state that the United States is working with them for future military strikes!

On 20 July 2012, Israeli Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, told Israeli TV news that he ordered the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) to prepare to attack Syrian sites suspected of having chemical weapons: “I have instructed the military to increase its intelligence preparations and prepare what is needed so that, if necessary, we will be able to consider carrying out an operation.”

On 23 July, an Israeli newspaper reported that the situation in Syria is now the only thing on the minds of Israel’s political and military leaders!

Another Israeli media source is reporting that Syrian troops entered Israel.  On 22 July, a TV station reported that Israeli government officials filed a complaint with the United Nations, saying that during a battle between Syrian government forces, and rebels, the government troops crossed the 1974 Golan Heights Armistice Line.  Also, Voice of Israel radio says a UN observer team confirmed the Israeli claim.

World War 3: Turkey helping Al Qaeda get into Syria! More proof Al Qaeda is a tool of the United States!

22 July 2012, a rebel group claims to have taken a third Syrian controlled border crossing with Turkey.

But as thousands of Syrians flee the fighting, there are reports that hundreds of al Qaeda fighters are streaming in to help the U.S./Israeli/Saudi backed rebels!

Most are coming in through the rebel captured border crossings with NATO member Turkey.

Regional reports say the al Qaeda fighters are coming from the French puppet Algeria, the Russian puppet Chechnya, the U.S. puppet Egypt and the U.S. ally Saudi Arabia.

Just want to remind everyone in the United States that 15 of the 19 hijackers on 11 September 2001, came from Saudi Arabia, not from Afghanistan, not from Iraq, not from Libya, not from Syria and not from Iran (in fact none of the attackers were from those countries).

So who’s side is your government really on?

Saudi Arabia is also calling for an emergency Muslim summit, in an effort to unite Muslims against the Syrian government.
