Narrative progresses in Southeast Asia, West Africa, Pakistan: drug trafficking, Abu Sayyaf, JI, al qaeda, attacks on Westerners…

1. JI terrorist Dulmatin resurfaces on Jolo, Philippines - Abu Sayyaf — same area that US forces use wo/oversight

MANILA - AN ISLAMIST militant accused of being behind the deadly 2002 Bali bombings is alive and hiding in the southern Philippines despite earlier reports of his death, a senior military official said on Tuesday.

Dulmatin, leader of the regional militant group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), was not killed in a clash in 2008 as the military initially believed, said Major General Juancho Sabban, the head of the Philippine Marines.

‘I believe, from what my sources say, he is still in Sulu,’ Maj. Gen. Sabban told reporters, referring to the southern chain of islands in the south including Jolo, a hotbed of Islamist militants.

He also said that another JI militant, Umar Patek, is also believed to be hiding in the Sulu islands and is being sheltered by the Abu Sayyaf, a local Muslim extremist group linked by intelligence agencies to the Al-Qaeda network.

Dulmatin, accused of helping the JI plan and carry out the Bali bombings that killed 202 people in the Indonesian resort island, was initially believed to have been killed by the military in the southern Philippines in January 2008. However DNA tests of the body of the slain man raised doubts that it was Dulmatin.

Patek and Dulmatin, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, have been hiding out in the Philippine jungle with the Abu Sayyaf group since 2003, intelligence officials have said. The US State Department has offered a reward of US$10 million (S$14 million) for information leading to the arrest of Dulmatin, and $1 million for Patek. — AFP

2. 2 Malaysians abducted in Borneo, affirming warning given by US authorities last month

KOTA KINABALU (Malaysia) - MALAYSIAN police said on Monday that two men have been abducted by gunmen near a Borneo town which the United States warned last month was being targeted by criminal and terrorist groups.

Noor Rashid Ibrahim, police chief in Sabah state, said the maritime border with the Philippines, which lies to the north of Borneo, had been sealed off to prevent the gunmen from escaping.

He said that the two abducted men, Malaysians working at a seaweed farm near the fishing town of Semporna were seized in the early hours of Monday by five men armed with two rifles. ‘Based on police investigation, the group is believed to be comprised of foreigners and locals out to commit robbery,’ he told reporters.

Mr Noor Rashid declined to say which country they came from, and also sidestepped questions over whether they were from the Abu Sayyaf militant group which is active in the southern Philippines.

The US embassy in Kuala Lumpur had warned that there were indications of strikes being planned in isolated areas of eastern Sabah state, including the diving resort of Sipadan as well as the destinations of Semporna and Mabul.

Mr Noor Rashid said that the two kidnapped men were a 40-year-old manager and a 25-year-old farm supervisor. He said their abductors arrived in a narrow-hulled boat and were believed to still be in Malaysian waters. — AFP

3. Malians face cocaine charges in the US: drug trafficking, FARC, al qaeda, Europe, West Africa

Three men have been charged with plotting to transport tons of cocaine across Africa with the help of Al Qaeda. The three defendants all of them from Mali, were arrested in Ghana on Wednesday and flown to the United States on Thursday night. The men said that they were helping some people set up a trafficking network to move what they thought was FARC’s cocaine from Ghana to the deserts of North Africa to Spain.

The 3 whose names were given as Oumar Issa, Harouna Touré and Idriss Abelrahman, were charged with conspiracy to commit narco-terrorism and conspiracy to provide material support to terrorist groups: Al Qaeda, Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and the FARC.

According to the charges, the men were alleged to be members of a criminal organization operating in the West African countries of Togo, Ghana, Burkina Faso and Mali and that they worked with Al Qaeda groups in the region which ultimately promised to provide security for the North African leg of the journey. According to the New York Times, the three men were charged under statutes passed in 2006 that gave federal drug agents the authority to pursue narcotics and terrorism crimes committed anywhere in the world if a link between a drug offense and a specified act of terrorism or terrorist group could be established.

4. Plot foiled to bomb Americans in Pakistan hotel — police get testy with reporters

LAHORE—Pakistan police claimed Monday to have arrested six suspects, including a would-be suicide bomber, who were plotting to attack a five-star hotel and kill Americans. Police recovered an explosive-laden suicide vest fitted with 26 hand grenades during the operation in Lahore, the country’s second-biggest city, senior police superintendent Zulfikar Hameed told a news conference.

Police in Pakistan, which is under huge US pressure to do more to root out Islamist militants, routinely claim to foil high-profile attacks, most often in Karachi, but rarely release any details of the alleged plots. It is not possible to confirm the alleged plots independently.

The six suspects were paraded at the news conference wearing black masks to hide their identity….

Police also recovered four kilograms (nine pounds) of hashish, he added.

But officers angrily called a swift end to the news conference after a television reporter snatched away a hood, unmasking one of the suspects.

“If you behave like this we will not invite media in the future,” one police inspector said.

5. India: asks officers to please not speak to reporters there are too many leaks!

CBI officials are not allowed to interact with the media under their service rules. Only the CBI director and the chief PRO is allowed to interact with reporters and share details of stories. Journalists are not allowed to carry mobile phones, camera, laptop and other electronic gadgets inside the CBI headquarters at the CGO complex in New Delhi.

A new circular issued by the top brass of the agency has asked the officers to refrain from speaking to the media.

The agency sleuths are anyway not supposed to talk to the press under the service rules laid down for them, so why the circular?”The directions are against any particular group of mediapersons or individuals. It is only meant to alert the officials from some fake journalists who can misuse the information imparted to them,” explained an official spokesperson for the top investigating agency.

CBI sources told MiD DAY that though no such journalist has been encountered by the agency, so far but the circular seems a clear effort to “safeguard the secrets better.” While contents of the circular, issued last week, is being guarded as a much-valued secret, sources said it is “very clear and categorical in nature.”

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, highly-placed officials in the CBI headquarters told the agency has already been under fire from various quarters for cases under its investigation, the word of caution would help the agency to stem bad publicity. They also pointed out that the notice is “actually about mediapersons who could be trying to do sting operations on cases being investigated by the CBI.”

“Recently, the agency came under public scrutiny after news reports related to Sant Singh Chatwal. Though public enjoy such investigative stories but sometimes the repercussions are very hard on the CBI officials related to that particular case. It is assumed that the story leaked from their end,” said a senior CBI official, requesting anonymity.

Sant Singh Chatwal whose name appeared in the latest list of Padma awardees was later discovered as a multiple offender who has been under CBI scanner for cases of fraud against him. Earlier the CBI had earned public ire for its probe into cases against Bofors kickbacks accused Ottavio Quattrocchi. “Of late the department became a subject of ridicule on issues like Bofors, Nithari, kidney transplant racket, Arushi double murder case and Ruchika Girhotra molestation case. It is assumed that officers connected to the cases leak information to the media and hence the notice,” the officer said.

Narrative limps along slowly in Mexico shooting cases: drug trafficking, gunmen escape and reportedly go on to kill others, arrests of a few people around the edges. evidently some people are supposed to get away with murder.

1. a suspected lookout arrested in attack that killed 15 youth in Ciudad Juarez

Reporting from Mexico City — Authorities in the border city of Ciudad Juarez said on Tuesday night that they had arrested a man suspected of taking part in a shooting attack on a high-school party that killed at least 15 people early Sunday.

Officials summoned reporters to see the suspect, who said in their presence that the main Juarez-based drug cartel targeted the party because it had received reports that members of a rival trafficking group were in attendance.

The suspect, identified as Jose Dolores Arroyo Chavarria, said he acted as a lookout for the 24 or so gunmen he said took part. He said they were ordered to kill everyone inside.

Authorities said they arrested the suspect Monday afternoon after army troops interrupted the planned assassination of a drug rival. Killed during that gunfight was one of the men who allegedly supervised the assault on the party, in which dozens of young people packed a private home.

Officials said some of the same gunmen are believed to be responsible for the killings of four people Monday at a dance hall.

Authorities in the state of Chihuahua on Tuesday gave the number of dead as 15, though a day earlier they had said 16 died, a figure corroborated by local news reports.

Parents of the slain teens have denied that their children were involved in criminal activity.

2. another arrest in the same case

Police have made a second arrest in connection with last weekend’s party massacre which left 15 people dead in the Colonia Salvarcar of Cuidad Juarez. Witnesses at the site of the massacre said they believed one of the “lookouts” for the group of armed men was driving a Jeep Cherokee.

Police said the witnesses gave police a description of the jeep and the license plate number. Police stopped the Jeep Cherokee and arrested the driver, Israel Arzate Melendez, who later confessed to taking part in the massacre. Juarez police say they now know the names of three other suspects.

3. Salvadore Cabanas case: just unconfirmed rumors (links removed)
Salvador Cabañas: Assailant Captured and Arrested in Sonora? True? Or Rumors?

Al Dia, Costa Rica newspaper, has reported that the Mexican newspaper, Diario Reforma, suggests that Jose Jorge Balderas (aka. JJ or el Modelo), Salvador Cabañas’ assailant, has been captured and arrested by Mexican authorities. Baldera was staying at a local hotel in the Municipality of Puerto Peñasco located in the State of Sonora.

According to Al Dia, it appears that media reports have been confirmed by the State Attorney General’s Office and Notimex, the official Mexican Government News Agency. However, no other governmental office has either confirmed or denied this rumor.

1. the PROBLEM of US hegemony and abuse of the internet … definitely a problem. BUT what should be done about this problem??

Concerns about the US monopoly of the domain name server (DNS) system grew among other nations as much as their reliance on the Internet for issues ranging from politics and the economy to defense and the general society. Years ago, there was a proposal that the Internet be administered by the United Nations or under international cooperation. The European Union insisted that the World Wide Web is an international resource that should be jointly managed by all nations. Some developing countries pointed out that at the early stage of Internet development, developed countries seized large amounts of domain names, leaving a limited few for them, and demanded a share with the US over Internet administration. American officials opposed the suggestion.

…US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Twitter and other social networking sites are “strategic assets of great importance” because “these new technologies make it harder for the ‘dictator regimes’ to control information”. A former intelligence official said the channeling of US ideology via the Internet is much easier than sending spies to target countries or training local agents in target countries who identify with US ideology. The move the US government made in June 2009 — when it dissented over the Chinese government’s order to install the filtering software Green Dam and pressured China’s government for interfering in the freedom on the ‘Net and the freedom of information flow — is probably related to its intention to infiltrate China.

According to a Hong Kong media agency, the CIA invests tens of millions of US dollars every year to aid “Chinese net traitors” to infiltrate Chinese net users with US ideology. They haunt major Chinese forums and portals. A website called “Wazhe Online” (Chinese Pinyin) is a secret mission with the cooperation of US government institutions and overseas “Tibetan splittist organizations” with the tasks of agitating, deluding, infiltrating and instigating Chinese net users, making up rumors to initiate riots and collecting information via the Internet. A Tibetan youth who once worked with one organization said it is an online spy agency which is supported by the US financially, controlled by the Americans and serves the Americans. A commentary on Hong Kong-based Ta Kung Pao said those who publish stories sensitive to China’s policies on the net have complex backgrounds and are hired by US and Japanese spy agencies.

2. Hillary Clinton: would everybody PLEASE condemn people who engage in cyber attacks???

WASHINGTON - UNITED States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton yesterday called for global condemnation for those who carry out cyber attacks, as China sought to contain tension with the United States over online censorship and hacking.

In what was flagged as a major policy speech on Internet freedom, she said: ‘Countries or individuals that engage in cyber attacks should face consequences and international condemnation. In an interconnected world, an attack on one nation’s networks can be an attack on all.’…The Internet has already been a source of tremendous progress in China, and it’s great that so many people there are now online,’ she said. ‘But countries that restrict free access to information or violate the basic rights of Internet users risk walling themselves off from the progress of the next century.’

3. FOR INSTANCE, let’s talk about Hezbollah’s news outlet al Manar. now as we all know Hezbollah is designated a “terrorist” operation, so the fact that they have a pretty decent news outlet is of NO CONSEQUENCE! they refer to israel as “the zionist entity.” that is so hurtful. it is practically hate speech! you better not be getting any news from al Manar tv or next thing you know the US govt will conflate you will aiding and abetting terrorists. capice? especially if any weapons happen to fall into Hezbollah’s hands, as bibi keeps predicting over and over and over again, and something happens to an israeli who is only acting in self-defense, and some Iranian weapons hurt a hair on his head via Hezbollah, and Hezbollah has a news channel…. you see where this is going right? if you read al Manar tv you might as well just fly to Iran and get a weapon and use it on an innocent israeli yourself. SAME THING. so shield your eyes. be innocent of knowledge.

The U.S. Embassy said Friday that a bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives calling for punitive measures against Hizbullah’s al-Manar TV was not a measure taken against freedom of expression.

…The U.S. government believes

there is no difference

between a terrorist organization

and a media outlet run by it, Gliha said.

4. google’s deep CIA connections

Google is, in fact, is a key participant in U.S. military and CIA intelligence operations involving torture; subversion of foreign governments; illegal wars of aggression; and military occupations of countries which have never attacked the U.S. and which have cost hundreds of thousands of lives in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and elsewhere.

To begin with, Google is the supplier of the core search technology for ‘Intellipedia, a highly-secured online system where 37,000 U.S. spies and related personnel share information and collaborate on their devious errands.

Agencies such as the so-called ‘National Security Agency’ have also purchased servers using Google-supplied search technology which processes information gathered by U.S. spies operating all over the planet.

In addition, Google is linked to the U.S. spy and military systems through its Google Earth software venture. The technology behind this software was originally developed by Keyhole Inc., a company funded by Q-Tel http://www.iqt.org/ , a venture capital firm which is in turn openly funded and operated on behalf of the CIA.

5. US state dept ‘not the foreign policy arm of google’ — that’s right. it’s the CIA.

Speaking of the cyberattacks which Internet giant Google said last week originated in China, Ross said: “I think it is important to emphasize the private nature of some of this.” “This is primarily an issue between Google and 30 plus other private entities and the Chinese government,” he said at the start of a panel discussion sponsored by the New America Foundation and Slate magazine. “But we have responded with what I think is justifiable concern,” Ross said. “We’ve asked for an explanation.”

Ross added that the United States and China “have had conversations over the years where we’ve made clear our opinions both about the freedom of expression as well as cybersecurity. “So we’re taking this very seriously,” he said. “But all of that said, the State Department is not the foreign policy arm of Google,” he said.

no need to worry about the safety of the World Cup in South Africa. this little incident here is nothing to worry about - just a little operant conditioning.

The two men were wielding guns and preparing to unleash terror on the nation. With their faces obscured, they were apparently loading their guns in preparation to rob tourists and cause mayhem during the forthcoming World Cup in South Africa. This was the image a controversial television channel, E.tv, beamed to South Africa and probably the world when they broadcast a documentary about criminals trying to upset the progress made by South Africa to host the international football tournament.  But the image is causing a huge controversy among South Africans and journalists for what they term irresponsible journalism, and the media house has now been subpoenaed under Section 205 of the South African (SA) constitution, to reveal the identities of the two men shown in the video.

the departing US envoy to the Philippines, Kristie Kenney, is very very very grateful to the Malacanang Press

I know how hard all of you work everyday, so thank you very much,” she said.

‘Conspiracy theories aside, people actually died in that suicide attack. Dr Mahathir’s statement is disrespectful to the victims for it to be described that way, with reference to a Hollywood movie,’ he said on Thursday.

DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang in a statement said that Dr Mahathir would have created ‘an international incident’ between Malaysia and the United States if he was still the Prime Minister.

7. well in any case you have NOTHING to worry about because We Are Ready

The president of the United States has always had the constitutional authority, and duty, to protect the American people and direct the national response to any emergency that threatens the security and safety of the United States. The Rockefeller-Snowe Cybersecurity bill makes it clear that the president’s authority includes securing our national cyber infrastructure from attack. The section of the bill that addresses this issue, applies specifically to the national response to a severe attack or natural disaster. This particular legislative language is based on longstanding statutory authorities for wartime use of communications networks.

OK that seems pretty clear that the president can secure (control) the national infrastructure from attack as part of the national response to a severe attack or natural disaster based on statutory authorities for wartime use of communication networks. Right?

WRONG! THAT’S NOT WHAT IT SAYS CAN’T YOU READ?????

To be very clear, the Rockefeller-Snowe bill will not empower a “government shutdown or takeover of the Internet” and any suggestion otherwise is misleading and false.

Oh wow, that’s so confusing. The statement says one thing, and then it says the complete opposite! Yes you will allow the president to secure the private infrastructure based on the Rockefeller-Snowe bill based on longstanding statutory authorities for wartime use of communications networks, but no you will not suggest that the Rockefeller-Snowe bill empowered the president to shutdown or take over the internet. That would make you a LIAR.

So here’s the instruction: “Securing the private infrastructure based on longstanding statutory authorities for wartime use of communications networks” IS NOT “shutting down or taking over the internet.”

YES IT IS.
NO IT’S NOT.
YES IT IS.

Mind-fucking.

The purpose of this language is to clarify how the president directs the public-private response to a crisis, secure our economy and safeguard our financial networks, protect the American people, their privacy and civil liberties, and coordinate the government’s response.

No. The purpose of this language is mind-fucking people into supporting the government takeover of the internet after a false-flag terrorist attack. You will support President Obama. You will listen to whatever he says. Turn on the teevee.

Those conspiracy theorists…

You see, this is why people stick with trusted news sources, like ABC news. ABC news brings this disturbing report that some Haitian children have gone missing from hospitals. UNICEF suspects these children may have been fed into an international trafficking ring.

United Nations officials say children have gone missing from hospitals in Haiti since the devastating January 12 earthquake, raising fears of trafficking for adoption abroad. “We have documented around 15 cases of children disappearing from hospitals and not with their own family at the time,” said UNICEF adviser Jean Luc Legrand. “UNICEF has been working in Haiti for many years and we knew the problem with the trade of children in Haiti that existed already beforehand.

“Unfortunately, many of these trade networks have links with the international adoption market.”

An ADOPTION ring! That’s right. Orphaned children might be smuggled out of desperate, ravaged Haiti to be given loving homes with white people. Of course that doesn’t quite explain why the children disappear from hospitals, does it.

Here’s the little faux-outrage politically correct bullshit argument that I’m sure somebody somewhere will go running with: This is outrageous. Surely in every single instance, the people must have only the purest of intentions. But that does not mean they can take these poor children away without following the legal procedures. Even if they only want to save them.

And here is the matching argument for the other foot: This is outrageous. Why should these children be left to die for lack of care and good homes when wonderful people can take them out of that hell right now and give them wonderful homes? Leave these good people alone they are only trying to help.

That controversy oughta keep a few people busy for a while…

The agency said it had warned countries during the past week not to step up adoptions from Haiti in the immediate wake of the quake. However several are fast-tracking adoption procedures already under way, including Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and the United States. Mr Legrand said the situation was similar to the aftermath of the tsunami in Asia five years ago.

Trafficking networks were springing into action immediately after the disaster and taking advantage of the weakness of local authorities and relief coordination “to kidnap children and get them out of the country”. Rupert Colville, a spokesman for the office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said child enslavement and trafficking in Haiti was “an existing problem and could easily emerge as a serious issue over the coming weeks and months”.

The UN mission in Haiti has stepped up surveillance of roads, UNICEF officials said. Mr Legrand said there was separate but only anecdotal evidence of people taking children by road to the neighbouring Dominican Republic and loading children on to planes. “We have seen over the past years many children being taken out of the country without any legal procedure,” he said. “This is going on. This is happening now. We are starting to have the first evidence of that, this is unquestionable.”

He was unable to give details on the 15 missing children or their condition or clearly connect the anecdotal observations in Haiti’s chaos with trafficking.

The cases were documented by social workers and by partner non-governmental organisations working for UNICEF in hospitals.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/01/23/2799492.htm

Do you see that trafficking networks are….well….good? Or at least not all bad? They spring into action immediately and take advantage of the weakness of local authorities to kidnap children and get them out of the country. See? It’s “nuanced.”

But of course, we can take our sharp little stick and poke around that trafficking idea and ask some more pertinent questions, like: what other rings might be operating in the chaos in Haiti — aside from the fairy tale adoption rings of people who only ever have the best intentions?

Sex trafficking? Human slaves? Organ trafficking? You know, it’s kind of funny that Mr. Legrand would say: “This is going on. This is happening now. We are starting to have the first evidence of that, this is unquestionable.”

Because, to be honest, the authorities have known about these problems for years.

And they also know about the international pedophile rings.

And that doesn’t even begin to touch upon the organ trafficking angle.

But ABC News doesn’t do conspiracy theories.

and so it would be very rude of me indeed to cast an aspersion on this whole haiti roadside hospital narrative and ask just how the sam hill did the israelis, out of all the people in the world who have converged on the little island, how exactly did the israelis manage to get their hospital equipment set up? i thought there were some bottlenecks but i guess they have connections. lucky huh? and what exactly do they do in the mash field hospital with all the little orphaned children? does anyone oversee anything going on or would that be rude? would that insinuate that maybe, you know, given the circumstances of the israeli organ stealing that has happened in the past with disadvantaged populations that maybe our israeli bestest friends could use some chaperones around the destitute orphans of haiti, lest their little kidneys go missing?

Remember the Harley shirt guy after 9/11?

“…come out of nowhere and just ream right into the side of the twin tower, exploding through the other side…and then I witnessed both towers collapse, one first then the second. Mostly due to structural failure because the fire was just too intense.”

I thought of him as I read this account: http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/archives/012609.html

I was notified by dispatch that there were several shots fired and potentially several victims. The scene was not safe so we were instructed to “stage” close to the scene. While staging I was approached by a police officer that their was an “officer down!”…I told him I had not gotten a “code 4″, our code that the scene was safe for emergency responders to enter the scene. The officer left and came back again to me to tell me again there was an officer down and needed EMS NOW!

He assured me the scene was safe so we proceeded into the scene. Several bystanders were around and Ft Hood fire dept was already on scene. My partner went to a pt lying on the ground on her side of the ambulance and I approached the officer who had been shot; her gun shot wound was exposed which appeared to be potentially fatal due to the location, a tourniquet was applied prior to my arrival which probably saved her life; she was conscious but appeared very pale and probably in compensated shock at this point due to the massive amount of blood loss I witnessed around her.

I was then summoned to other patients calling for EMS; the next pt I approached was shot in the neck with a arterial bleed…I instructed bystanders to continue to hold pressure to the wound and gave them bandaging material. I triaged several pt’s with potentially life threatening wounds, each worse than the next.

A young man walked up to me and asked if I could help him, I asked him, “where are you shot?”, he told me in the chest…I directed him to go sit in my ambulance and an army medic sat with him and started oxygen and bandaging on him; in the mist of the madness I was trying to determine who would be the first to be transported still waiting on the helicopters to land so I could fly out the worst.

While getting more bandaging material off my ambulance several bystanders carried a soldier to my truck that had been shot in the head, he was conscious and breathing, he kept asking me “am I gonna die?”, I told him I was doing the best I could, [o_O] knowing from experience his situation appeared bleak.

Behind my ambulance several bystanders were doing CPR on a lady [Do most women routinely refer to other women as ladies? - ed.] that had obviously been fatally shot, in a mas-cal situation you do “the most good for the most people”…that means save the ones you can and black tag the un-salvageable…it’s a harsh truth but effective in this type of situation.

Since the helicopter was still not there I made the decision to take off and transport these two critical patients to Darnell Army Hosp which was about 4 mi away. I quickly dropped off those patients and headed back to the scene with an ER nurse as well to help. In the meantime, several other ambulances had showed up and others had been transported leaving me with one soldier shot in the shoulder, and deservedly last, the shooter was the last to leave the scene and was flown to a hosp approx 30 mil away since the local hosp’s were overwhelmed at this point.

I consider myself and seasoned and experienced medic but no one can prepare you for a war zone, which is exactly what this was…I felt so helpless trying to help so many with such limited resources. Thank God for all the bystanders, fire dept and community EMS services that came to our aide. [???? ...said a paramedic called to the scene presumably from the surrounding community????] Thank you officer Kimberly Munley for being so brave and fearlessly doing your job….

That’s the voice of a female paramedic. In her own words.

blink blink blink

It’s funny but she talks just like a highly trained military officer. Cold and calculating, able to triage, and then in the last paragraph gushing about feeling so helpless and thanking God and all the heroes.

Who am I to doubt it? Who am I to say that this story sounds totally inauthentic to my ear, drawn up in a military PR office somewhere?

You know the Bushes and the Saudis are tight, right? I think most people running in these circles have some vague understanding of that much…pictures of George the Younger holding hands with his pals and so forth.

There’s also the question of whether the Saudi royal family are crypto-Jews. In general the subject of crypto-Jews in Arab countries remains obscure.

This information comes from The Scribe, which as best I can tell is a historical website of a Sephardic Iraqi Jew:

http://www.dangoor.com/74008.html

A crypto Jewish couple from Saudi Arabia with their twelve children came to London a few years ago and visited the offices of the Exilarch’s Foundation, asking for help to obtain a visa to enable them to emigrate to Israel. However, the Israel Embassy in London turned down their application and they decided to travel to Jordan and move over to Israel clandestinely.

According to their evidence there are thousands of crypto Jews in Saudi Arabia who lead a separate existence from the main population. To our knowledge, there are no Jews living in Kuwait, but a number of Jewish families still live in Bahrain, mainly of Iraqi origin.also this: http://www.dangoor.com/issue78/articles/letters/12.htm

(Q) Is there any further information on the Saudi family claiming to be Crypto Jews who went to London several years ago, or any other info on Saudi Crypto Jews. Medina (Al Yatribe) and Kyber Oasis were Jewish areas in Saudia which were ethnically cleansed after the death of Muhammad. …(A) The Crypto Jews who contacted the Scribe, were unable to obtain Israeli visas and said at the time that they would go to Jordan and smuggle themselves to Israel. According to the head of the family there are a number of Crypto Jews still in Arabia who lead a separate life and inter- marry within the group.

So if it’s true, it’s a pretty tightly held secret.

Here is additional background (links removed, click through for more plus links):

Jews have lived in Saudi Arabia for over 1400 years. Several Arab/Muslim intelligence agencies think the Saudi royal clan are Crypto-Jewish. There mission is to spread for The UK an extreme form of Islam which is wholly irrelevant in the twenty-first century, keep Muslims backward, destroy progressive thought in Muslim society—where it was the leader in such matters in the world at one time, progressive movements and progressive persons within the umma.

Whilst the Saudi Royals live the most unholiest of lives, even by moderate Islamic standards—-Western prostitutes, call girls, casino’s, wild parties, massive palaces, extravagant spending in the face of Muslims suffering around the world…

Thus we see the Saudis funding ‘Operation Cyclone’ and ‘Operation greenbelt’ dollar for dollar for the creation of Islamic holy warriors in the wake of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Osama and some of his most closest cohorts came from Saudi—–more on him later. The Saudis also funded the Taliban partly. Being leaders of the two most holy places of Islam they seem to be providing minimal leadership to the umma where it matters, when Arabs are victims of genocide left, right, and center around them—-Iraq, Palestine and Somalia. Finally the Saudis were installed through the good grace of the British; Rothschild Britain.

So I’m looking for news today, and I come across this (links removed):

http://www.layalina.tv/publications/review/PR_V.22/article8.html

…and I notice it has Israeli talking points. Like for instance: Iran and Ahmadinejad are bad, Western Powers are good, Iran is hiding something, etc. Hopefully you can see them. That Canada Free Press article alone presents a case of extreme Israel hagiography in which Saudi Arabia has cruelly used little Israel as a punching bag to take the body blows that rightfully should be directed at Saudi Arabia. Those mean Saudis. They’re kind of like the evil big brother or something, but NO WE’RE NOT RELATED. I don’t know. The passion against Saudi Arabia has a little whiff of ‘Ma, this is SO NOT FAIR!’ to me.

Asserting its influence on Middle Eastern politics and power relations, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused “Western powers” of wielding the media for “full-fledged psychological attacks as a lever to influence nations against their better judgment,” reports Press TV.

The media’s ability to shape the relationship between Iran and other nations has been increasingly analyzed and exploited in the weeks prior to the first significant negotiations between Iran and Western powers. Press TV further antagonizes this divide by referring to “Western powers” throughout the article.

Indirectly referring to Israel and the US, Ahmadinejad alleged that media campaigns led by “some regimes” have become “the prime weapon-of-choice against other countries” to advance their political agenda rather than properly report on Iranian affairs.

Khalil Sheikh, writing for the Daily 49er, laments the “aggressive right wing rhetoric,” and the lack of factual analysis of Middle Eastern politics that led many people to be “blind under the umbrella of misconception that Iran is a threat to the ‘free world.’”

Ahmadinejad’s comments coincided with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) takeover of Iran’s telecommunications monopoly, reports the New York Times. The acquisition “amplified concerns in Iran over what some call the rise of a pseudo-government.”

The Guards, whose mandate is to “protect the revolution,” oversee Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. According to the New York Times, the Guards tightened their political and economic control following this summer’s elections.

It remains unclear as to whether the Guards taking over major sectors of the economy will significantly impact Iranian media freedom or foreign policy. Some analysts believe that the Guards’ growing influence will further hamper opening up to the West.

“It’s not just a matter of the Guards dominating the economy, but of controlling the state,” commented Alireza Nader, an expert on Iran. Any integration on a global scale would require greater transparency, which the Guards are averse to do since it may imply having to relinquish some of their control.

On the eve of major negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program, experts are extensively scrutinizing President Obama’s policies.

Daniel Greenfield, writing for Canada Free Press, asserts that Obama’s policies toward Iran are driven by the “concerns of Saudi Arabia.” In Greenfield’s opinion, Saudi Arabia is mainly concerned with its Sunni influence in the Middle East jeopardized by Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.

“Muslim holy wars that are fought against other Muslims are often indirect,” writes Greenfield. “The Sunni powers in the Middle East understand that when Ahmadinejad talks about destroying Israel, he only means destroying Israel first, and them second…Israel is not the endgame, they are.”

According to Greenfield, Obama’s policy of “soft power, engagement and appeasement” arises directly from Saudi influence that seeks to defuse the Iranian threat “without war or any democratization or regional political instability that might rebound back in Riyadh.” Consequently, “Obama is dithering on Iran, because the Saudis are dithering on Iran,” a policy direction rejected by Greenfield.

The conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia is epitomized by various accusations that Iranian and Saudi Arabian media outlets have exchanged since the contested 2009 Iranian presidential elections, writes the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

Iranian television channels allege that Saudi media is “waging an anti-Iran campaign in coordination with Israel in the West,” and that Saudi Arabia is an “absolutist dictatorship” with “no status whatsoever in the Islamic world.”

In response, Saudi papers have accused Al-Qaeda of being an “Iranian front organization,” whose operations are primarily designed to benefit Iran. Iran’s nuclear ambitions and “alleged aspirations to take over the Middle East” are repeatedly condemned and the Saudi daily Al-Riyadh called on Arabs to protect themselves “with a force that recognizes the struggle between opposites.”

Unlike Greenfield, Iranian lawyer and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Shirin Ebadi supports a soft power approach, according to The Washington Post.

Ebadi claimed that the Obama administration has made several mistakes regarding Iran, arguing that the nature of Iran’s regime is more crucial to US security than deals on nuclear energy, because nuclear programs would not be a threat in the hands of a government that did not view America or Israel as enemies.

“If the West focuses exclusively on the nuclear issue, Ahmadinejad can tell his people that the West is against Iran’s national interest and rally people to his cause,” argued Ebadi. “But if the West presses also on its human rights record, he will find himself in a position where his popular base is getting weaker and weaker by the day.”
Obama declared that “the voice of the people needs to be heard,” she continued, “but he needs to repeat the statement again and again, so that people in Iran hear him.”

UPDATE: “Saudi-backed, anti-Iranian” means CIA and Mossad

Peter Chamberlin commentary:

[The White House Feigns ignorance of some CIA programs, in order to maintain its deniability. There has never been even one anti-Iranian operation anywhere that was not controlled or monitored by the CIA. Even if it was true that the Jundullah outfit that attacked in Iran was really not a Pakistani group, even though it was based in S. Waziristan, the CIA knew of their actions and aims beforehand and chose to let them happen, just the way they "let 911 happen." Every Sunni terrorist outfit, especially all those described as being "al Qaida related" are CIA sponsored, using Saudi money, under ISI direction, facilitated by the Mossad.]

His commentary is on this piece from the Asia Times: Saudi-Iranian hostility hits boiling point

excerpts:

This brings us to Saudi Arabia, whose relations with Iran are passing through a period of mutual antipathy bordering on hostility….Saudi newspapers with links to the establishment have carried in recent months extremely vituperative attacks against the regime in Tehran, often at a personal level directed against the Iranian leadership. They have almost gone into mourning now that the turmoil on Tehran’s streets following the disputed presidential election has receded.

…Saudi Arabia has two great worries over Iran. First, that Obama is pressing ahead with the normalization process with Tehran - a “thaw” was visible at the Geneva talks on October 1- and Tehran has begun responding to US overtures. The worst Saudi nightmare is coming true.

King Abdullah, who had refused to visit Damascus, landed there two weeks ago on a three-day visit in a desperate attempt to bring Syria into the Arab fold and to “isolate” Iran. Riyadh is worried that Iran’s status as a regional power will get a massive boost if the normalization process with the US advances, and that can only be at the cost of Saudi Arabia’s pre-eminence in the region. Riyadh helplessly watches a beeline of other Persian Gulf states reaching out to Tehran for accommodation.

In other words, Riyadh has a vested interest, which is no less than Israel’s, to disrupt the US-Iran nuclear talks.

Maybe Riyadh’s interests and Israel’s interests look so similar because it’s really all one big happy family, hmm?

I feel the need to expand on this stuff I corralled over at my news place, I suppose because it really highlights the problem of perspective and audience and how truth can seem to change and be relative depending on where you stand and what you know. But in fact truth is a journey and you have to meet people where they’re at and hopefully take them along with you for a distance, and then if you’re lucky you’ll all meet some other people along the way and we will travel together and eventually get there.

So let’s talk about Ahmadinejad. How did he achieve power in the first place, and how does he remain there? One might say he’s lucky, and that could be a naive way of looking at the situation. Alternatively, one might consider that he has been co-opted into an occult drama as the price of being in power, but that might sound paranoid. And there’s always the third way split the difference kind of thinking the truth is somewhere in between, such thinking which always accrues the benefit of the doubt to liars. So I’m gutting that option here. Either Ahmadinejad is exactly who he appears to be, an Iranian leader who somehow has the nerve to challenge Israel at the risk of getting many innocent Iranians killed and triggering WW III, or he has some kind of protection to take these risks, the nature of which remains hidden.

The naive perspective: Ahmadinejad’s background doesn’t matter:

Gilad Atzmon takes the UK corporate media to task for the debate over Ahmadinejad’s roots, noting that this whole debate shifts the discussion away from Ahmadinejad’s arguments about Israel, which are solid.

One may wonder how come a Western media outlet happens to selectively engage with issues to do with the racial or ethnic origin of the Iranian president. At the end of the day, digging into peoples ethnic past and family bloodline is not a common practice you expect from the Western press. It is something you tend to leave for racists, Nazis and Rabbis. For one reason or another, no one in the so called free press tried to dwell on the close ties between multi billion swindler Bernie Maddof and his tribe. The Free Press saved itself also from dealing with Wolfowitz’s ethnicity, in spite of the fact that the Zionist war he brought on us has cost 1.5 million lives by now. If you wonder how it is that the Western free media is reverting to ‘pathology’ in order to deal with a Muslim president, the answer is simple not to say trivial:

The so called ‘liberal West’ is yet to find the answers to President Ahmadinejad within the realm of reason. It lacks the argumentative capacity to address Ahmadinejad. Instead, it insists to spin banal racially orientated ideas that cannot hold water, “By making anti-Israeli statements” says The Daily Telegraph, “he is trying to shed any suspicions about his Jewish connections.” The truth of the matter is clear. Ahmadinejad has already managed to re-direct a floodlight of reasoning and skepticism just to enlighten our darkest corner of hypocrisy. He somehow manages to remind us all what thinking is all about.

Digging into people’s ethnic past and family bloodlines is something “you tend to leave for racists, Nazis and rabbis.” Ahmadinejad’s arguments stand on their own merits, so the discussion over his background serves as a distraction. It doesn’t matter.

The paranoid perspective: Ahmadinejad is acting a role in the grand narrative, a role he was groomed for because of his secret background:

Once you progress along the road and understand how Iran fits into the broader narrative, your perspective changes and the question of Ahmadinejad’s background definitely matters, and you don’t have to be a racist, Nazi or rabbi to think so. From my perspective, Atzmon’s statement that the question of bloodlines is something left for racists, Nazis and rabbis is a gatekeeper statement. He is saying: Don’t Go There.

But why? That’s where the bodies are buried.

I mean, whose job, exactly, is it to watch the racists, Nazis, and rabbis and figure out what they’re up to? How is it that the evil always seem to outwit the good? Are good people terminally obtuse? Is there some establishment corner of the world untouched by corruption where people study such things and pronounce their authoritative findings to deliver the world from evil? Academia? The Jesuits? Slick online journals with high overhead and paid writers? Surely you jest. Please tell me where it is. The Political Ponerology manuscript disappeared once into a furnace and once into the Vatican before finally seeing the light of day decades later.

The knowledge of how to practice mass evil has been jealously guarded by powerful people, because they’re the ones who benefit from the knowledge and they must keep it secret.

As far as I’ve learned so far, every organization with any prestige whatsoever has the taint of insidious, hidden corruption. You can get bits and pieces of truth here and there, but good luck cobbling something coherent together from anyplace establishment. The thankless job of uncovering the truth has been left to a handful of unknown volunteers with no prestige who are roundly dismissed and derided as wacky conspiracy theorists but who thankfully don’t care. And those people know that bloodlines matter to the people who rule nations. Is that racist? Yes it certainly is. That’s why people should know, because they would be appalled and outraged. And that’s why the information remains hidden, and that’s why it’s not helpful for established anti-establishment people to say Don’t Go There.

But anyway, I’ll give Atzmon the benefit of the doubt and agree that people who are just now realizing, for instance, that Israel is a rogue criminal state with a hidden agenda are prone to confusion, and maybe we shouldn’t overtax them at this juncture. It would be great if they could wrap their minds around some basics:

It is pretty much impossible to deny the fact that Ahmadinejad’s take on the holocaust and Israel is coherent, consistent and valid. He seems to have three main issues with the narrative:

1. Around sixty Million died in WWII, the vast majority of them were innocent civilians. How is it, asks Ahmadinejad, that we insist to concentrate on the particularity of the suffering of one ‘very’ specific group of people i.e. the Jews?

2. The Iranian president rightly maintains that this historical chapter must be historically examined. This would mean as well that every event in the past should be subject to scrutiny, elaboration and revision. “If we allow ourselves to question God and the Prophets, we may as well allow ourselves to question the holocaust.”

3. Regardless of the truthfulness of the holocaust, it is not a trivial fact that the suffering of the Jews in Europe had nothing to do with the Palestinian people. Hence, there is no reason for the Palestinians to pay for crimes committed by others. If some Western Leaders feel guilty for crimes committed against the Jews by their ancestors, which they seem to claim, they better allocate some land for the Jews within their territories rather than expect the Palestinians to keep upholding the Zionist murderous burden.

As much as it is obviously clear that the above points raised by Ahmadinejad are totally valid, it is also painfully transparent that the West lacks the means to address those issues. Instead we seem to revert to supremacy and pseudo scientific discourse dwelling on blood, pathology and lame psychoanalysis.

For the extra-curious: Hmm, WHY DOES “The West” lack the means to address those issues? How has this happened? What is the explanation for such massive obtuseness?

Well, you know, in order to answer those questions you have to look into Conspiracy Facts like who owns the media, who owns money, who owns the politicians, who directs the NGOs and think tanks and medicine and the food supply and education and entertainment, and what goes into these things and what comes out of them. And the next thing you know you’re talking about a surprisingly small group of people who travel in certain circles and have their hands in seemingly everything: the Illuminati and their bloodlines. But be advised, attempting to follow this fascinating train-wreck might cause you to “revert to supremacy and pseudo scientific discourse dwelling on blood, pathology and lame psychoanalysis.” Oh well. We work with what we have. Truth seekers are nothing if not scrappy, especially since the “professionals” refuse to touch this stuff with a nine foot pole with a ten foot handle, because let’s face it, they might offend someone and lose their cushy jobs.

So Israel loves to hate Ahmadinejad. He is a tool. But is he a tool wittingly or unwittingly? THAT is the question.

When you realize that world leaders are being directed as actors on a stage, executing a grand agenda spread out over generations, you can not simply dismiss the importance of knowing about things like bloodlines. The fact that it *shouldn’t* matter to normal thinking people is beside the point! It *DOES* matter to the people calling the shots.

As for gate-keeping, people who fear the truth have something to hide. What is the danger for normal people to research and question the relationships of people in power? If you’re not a racist, finding out that other people *are* racists will not turn you into a racist. If you’re not a liar, finding out that other people *are* liars will not make you a liar. The truth poses no danger except to those in power. The truth is simply the truth.

Very serious PR problems call for all hands on deck

Intense Israeli pressure on Sweden has resulted in a sort of retraction.

A SWEDISH newspaper admitted overnight it did not have proof for an earlier story alleging Israeli soldiers had trafficked the organs of Palestinians, which sparked a diplomatic row with Israel.

Proof. What kind of proof do they need? Bodies? The Swedish paper published eye-witness accounts. There are other eye-witness accounts. Proof is for a court of law not a newspaper. Eye-witness accounts are first class evidence in a court of law. What was Bostrom supposed to do, exhume bodies?

Do the Israelis cooperate with inquiries into their behavior? NO! They deny. They stonewall. They manipulate. They lie. They claim ’security.’ They use every technique in the book to cover up their crimes.

They don’t punish their soldiers. What happened to the soldiers who killed Fadel Shana? Does anyone remember this murder caught on videotape?

Nothing. He was killed with impunity. It was caught on videotape — irrefutable evidence. It didn’t matter. Nothing happened.

Take also the use of white phosphorous in Gaza, which Israel denied repeatedly and brazenly by the way, even in the face of irrefutable evidence. When they finally admitted it they said it was legal. Then they denied denying it.

Israel denies everything, whether the proof is irrefutable or circumstantial. It makes no difference. So where does this demand for irrefutable proof come from? Aha, from gate-keepers. It is part of the hasbara. But excuse me for noticing that we are dealing with Known Liars. Why do they deserve the standard of irrefutable proof in order to sustain an inquiry into their behavior? Whose interests does that standard serve? Israel’s.

You see it takes time to get irrefutable evidence, especially when the Israelis control everything and refuse to cooperate. More Palestinians could die waiting for the irrefutable evidence of organ theft while Israel stonewalls on all the merely circumstantial evidence against them, like missing bodies for instance.

Guess what? Circumstantial evidence counts. Eye-witness statements count.

In law, evidence that is drawn not from direct observation of a fact at issue but from events or circumstances that surround it. If a witness arrives at a crime scene seconds after hearing a gunshot to find someone standing over a corpse and holding a smoking pistol, the evidence is circumstantial, since the person may merely be a bystander who picked up the weapon after the killer dropped it. The popular notion that one cannot be convicted on circumstantial evidence is false. Most criminal convictions are based, at least in part, on circumstantial evidence that sufficiently links criminal and crime.

This is what is really happening and why:

The recent article on Israeli Organ Stealing from dead or captured Palestinians published in a Swedish newspaper has sent the Zionists into a “freak-out frenzy” which, I am finding quite comical. For all of the Zionist huffing and puffing and self righteous pontificating, calling for Sweden to “condemn” the printing of said article, but no matter, the real problem is not the fault of this article being published, for the problem is with Israel, not Sweden.

Here’s why. Israel is not seen as an honest entity, and that is not the fault of Sweden or any article written about Israel. Israel has created its own reality, the world has seen Israel’s refusal to admit to any of the atrocities it has clearly committed, many of which have been witnessed by millions of the worlds people. We all saw the genocide in Gaza, the white phosphorous, the DIME missiles, the tanks, the destruction of homes, hospitals, mosques, UN schools, and the death toll of over a thousand civilians and 400 children.

[what follows in an excellent unpacking of "Zionist Logic" -- please go read it you won't be disappointed - ed.]

So, when an article like this is written, no amount of hasbara can make the reader believe Israel is innocent, because we have all been taught otherwise by Israel itself.

Additionally, it is not Sweden’s fault that a journalist published what a source told him. That’s called journalism and free speech. The journalist only reported what was told to him by those who claim they have either witnessed this or been a victim of it. So, when viewed in that light every newspaper around the world would quickly go out of business. All those stories in your local paper that report what the journalist was told by the victim or witness, from automobile accidents, hit and runs, airplane crashes, murders, fights, anything anyone witnessed, any claims of police brutality, any claims of fraud, cheating, all of those are victim or witness reports. Just like the Swedish article was. The only difference is its about another Israeli crime, and it just so happens to fall on the heels of Israel being found doing much the same thing in the state of New Jersey in America. And given the view Israelis have of Arabs as animals that exist for the use of Zionists, it’s not too difficult to believe what the victims told the Journalist.

Inside the Beast

From the Bostrom report:

We know that Israel has a great need for organs, that there is a vast and illegal trade of organs which has been running for many years now, that the authorities are aware of it and that doctors in managing positions at the big hospitals participate, as well as civil servants at various levels.

We also know that young Palestinian men disappeared, that they were brought back after five days, at night, under tremendous secrecy, stitched back together after having been cut from abdomen to chin.

Hospitals and doctors participate in organ trafficking. That seems rather obvious. And since the ring extends to the United States, we’re talking about American hospitals.

In case that strikes anyone as inconceivable, think about the red tape involved with medical care in the United States for people *with* insurance. Lots of paperwork, some insurance company automaton ready to stamp “DENY COVERAGE” on your procedure at the first opportunity. This is the mind-numbing reality for the lucky people *with* insurance. But somehow this reality becomes suspended in the case of organ trafficking!

According to Scheper-Hughes’ informant within Rosenbaum’s organization, confused and disoriented Russians would be flown into New York City by Israeli brokers who forced them at gunpoint to “donate” kidneys.
Scheper-Hughes: They told me the names of the hospitals, and they were our best hospitals!

Brian Lehrer: And did they know, professor, that they were performing kidney surgery on people who were unwilling participants and were being exploited and threatened?

Scheper-Hughes: My sense is, how could some of them not have known? The people that arrived, some of them didn’t speak the same languages, they were poor, they were disoriented…

We have rules. We have transplant coordinating committees. We have ethical guidelines. And you don’t just let people walk in off the streets.

She goes on to name Mount Sinai hospital, against whom she has videotaped evidence. She brought the videotape to the attention of 60 Minutes, which did not broadcast it. Later in the interview, she refers to operations done at Albert Einstein Medical Center. Mount Sinai says that its kidney donors “undergo an extensive evaluation to provide for their safety and well-being.”

How could these doctors and hospitals NOT know? To receive any substantial medical care in this country, and often just to receive routine medical care, requires that you share practically everything: your medical history, your family’s medical history, your social security number, employer, insurance, medications you take, etc. Does it not? Does anyone have a different experience with the health care system?

So how exactly does some poor Russian show up disoriented and end up on an operating table “donating” a kidney? And how does 60 Minutes decide that’s not a good story if it happened ONCE, let alone hundreds or thousands of times? Does anyone have a good explanation for this?

Corruption. Corruption is real, and it is systemic. It’s as real as having your organs stolen right out of your body. It’s as real as being involuntarily committed to psychiatric care, interrogated, and drugged with mind-numbing pharmaceuticals.

I was wrongly diagnosed as delusional by the psychiatric staff of Ward 7 at Northland Base Hospital in Whangarei and held against my will [and forced to take pharmaceuticals - ed.] for 11 days in mid-2006, because I maintained the attacks of 9/11 were orchestrated by criminal elements inside the US Administration.

Claire Swinney is a journalist and member of Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice. If you click through to read her horrific story of human rights abuse — at the hands of experts — and follow through to the comments section, you will learn of other people who have been committed to psychiatric wards involuntarily for, essentially, thought crimes.

Even after the ordeal, however, Claire can’t quite seem to grasp the reality of the corruption.

“Their comments, body language and the hospital notes indicated what took place was the result of ignorance and a stubborn unwillingness to look at the facts.”

Really? Ignorance? Stubborn unwillingness?

How exactly do experts become so ignorant and stubbornly unwilling to look at facts? Perhaps they have something to gain by this behavior?

The experts become experts by conforming to the system that confers the coveted titles of expertise. The titles confer prestige, and compensation soon follows. Thus it happens that experts OWE their lives of privilege to the system, the system that produces the fancy diplomas on the walls of their offices. Do we really expect these people to RISK all that they have worked so hard to achieve, all that prestige and money and clients and power and good tables at fancy restaurants and nice cars and houses and shopping at expensive boutiques and great vacations, by challenging The System?

Don’t be ridiculous. If they lose their credentials, they lose their income stream. It’s really very simple, because as long as people believe in The System, experts will behave in ways that perpetuate The System. Corruption is assured.

So where does one turn for help? To the Legal System? To the cradle of corruption?

Let us examine a few particulars of the legal system to see how they bring benefit to evil and work to the detriment of good. If you read what legal theoreticians have to say about the structure of the legal system you will encounter statements like this: “It is a robust system which is designed to survive liars”. “We assume that one side is lying one way, and the other is lying the other, and we let the jury find the truth - which will lie somewhere between these two extremes.” What a wonderfully plausible lie that is.

To see the evil behind that last plausible lie it is necessary to turn the assumption upside down. Instead of assuming that both sides are lying, let us assume that one side is innocent, honest, and tells the truth. It is obvious that lying does an innocent defendant no good; what lie is he to use - “I did it”?

The truth - due to the nature of reality - is never completely favorable to anybody; there is always some element of the truth that makes an innocent person look bad.

Since the legal system assumes that the truth lies between the testimony of the two sides - there is always a shift toward the side telling the lies, and away from the side telling the truth. Under the right set of external circumstances This tilt, along with the fact that the truth may always be presented in such a way as to bring detriment to an innocent person, is often enough to shift the outcome toward the wrong side. Advantage: evil.

Yes, the “Two Sides to Every Story” Plausible Lie. We see the same reasoning applied to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict whenever we hear it suggested that the problem is very complex, there are two sides, both sides have suffered, etc. Our foreign policy experts tell us this, because they have spent years and years trying to make peace in the Middle East, and they can’t solve it because the problems are, supposedly, simply intractable.

The presumption that dialogue is needed in order to achieve peace completely ignores the historical context of the situation in Palestine. It assumes that both sides have committed, more or less, an equal amount of atrocities against one another, and are equally culpable for the wrongs that have been done. It is assumed that not one side is either completely right or completely wrong, but that both sides have legitimate claims that should be addressed, and certain blind spots that must be overcome. Therefore, both sides must listen to the “other” point of view, in order to foster understanding and communication, which would presumably lead to “coexistence” or “reconciliation.”

Such an approach is deemed “balanced” or “moderate,” as if that is a good thing. However, the reality on the ground is vastly different than the “moderate” view of this so-called “conflict.” Even the word “conflict” is misleading, because it implies a dispute between two symmetric parties. The reality is not so; it is not a case of simple misunderstanding or mutual hatred which stands in the way of peace. The context of the situation in Israel/Palestine is that of colonialism, apartheid and racism, a situation in which there is an oppressor and an oppressed, a colonizer and a colonized.

In cases of colonialism and apartheid, history shows that colonial regimes do not relinquish power without popular struggle and resistance, or direct international pressure. It is a particularly naive view to assume that persuasion and “talking” will convince an oppressive system to give up its power.

Aha, more experts who are ignorant and stubbornly unwilling to look at facts. Too bad for all the dead Palestinians, no?, that the international community is chock full of ignorant and stubborn foreign policy experts. The legal system will not protect people like Claire Swinney from the abusive medical system, and just as certainly, the foreign policy system will not bring justice to the Palestinians.

And I am suggesting to you that this is intentional. This is By Design. The biggest plausible lie of all is that the systems governing our lives have been designed by ethical people. On the contrary, the systems running our lives are designed and run by psychopaths. We literally live inside the beast.

The truth is that psychopaths and sociopaths have infested every single arena of human interaction that is worth controlling. Every single one. We are literally immersed in systems of their design, systems which allow them to abuse people and get away with it. It is so pervasive and long standing as to be nearly invisible to most people, who of course have been brainwashed into staying in the filthy narrow ruts that psychopaths have furrowed into the dirt for us. We think corruption is normal. We think we have to put up with it.

But that is a lie. We can design better systems, systems that work, but we will have to start from scratch. All the tinkering around the edges does nothing but waste time while preserving the essential corrupt systems with the corresponding corrupt people at the centers, which is exactly why they waste so much time tinkering around the edges. They call it politics.

We feed the system by conferring our respect to it’s experts, be they political, financial, cultural, medical, whatever. We don’t have to do that. We don’t have to consume their opinions. We don’t have to take their advice. We don’t have to think the thoughts that they have prescribed for us. We don’t have to supply them with the power that they use against us. We don’t have to cooperate with them. We don’t have to be compliant.

They will scream bloody murder because they know this will kill them, it will kill their power over us. Witness the shrieking over the organ trafficking story.

Mmm hmm. That means you’re doing it right.
