<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Sometime in my bible reading I come across some passages that leave me stumped.  This verse is one of those passages <strong><a href="http://read.ly/Matt19.28.NIV">Matthew 19:28</a></strong> and it has left me with a few questions about Judas.</p>
<p>If Judas was a disciple and followed Jesus, even though he betrayed Him, and killed himself, will he still be one of the 12 members around the throne. Which I guess ultimatly leads me to ask, did Judas go to heaven. What are your thoughts?</p>
<p>Can you help me understand who and what this verse is talking about when Jesus told his disciples that those who have followed him, would sit on 12 thrones to Judge the 12 tribes of Isreal?  Also, what part, if any, does Judas play as one of the 12 which initially followed Jesus?</p>

<description><![CDATA[“The other regional players [read China] are busily setting the stage for exploitation of Afghanista]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><em>“The other regional players [read China] are busily setting the stage for exploitation of Afghanistan’s natural resources, while the US remains bogged down with the war. This should change,” (former CIA Pakistan Station Chief Milton) Bearden said (to the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee).</em></p>
<p><em>Two weeks ago, when the (Zionist-dominated) Associated Press broke the story, it quoted leading American think-tanker and author, Robert Kaplan, “The world isn’t fair. A worse outcome to staying and helping the Chinese would be withdrawing and losing a great battle in the war against radical Islam.”</em></p>
<p>Here we have two clashing views: the former American, the latter Zionist. The American, Milton Bearden, who oversaw the US-Islamist alliance against Soviet imperial-colonial repression of the Muslims of Central Asia during the 1980s, realizes that the war in Afghanistan, like the war in Iraq, is completely, self-destructively insane when considered from the standpoint of the U.S. national interest. The latter, Robert Kaplan, a Jewish Zionist agent who once wrote <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Arabists-American-Robert-D-Kaplan/dp/0028740238" target="_blank">a virtual Mossad dossier on those Americans smart enough to learn Arabic and support the Arab anti-Zionist cause,</a> doesn’t care if the US destroys itself while destroying Af-Pak. The only thing Kaplan cares about is the “great battle in the war against radical Islam.” That war, of course, is a war for Israel.</p>
<p>Anybody who has taken Geopolitics 101 knows that the prime US foreign policy objective is to prevent the rise of a nation or bloc that could dominate the Eurasian land mass. The rising nation today is China, a new superpower with a 10% growth rate. And the dangerous (to US interests) bloc is the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which adds Russian energy resources and nuclear weapons to the mix.</p>
<p>If it were rationally pursuing its own interests, the U.S. would be trying to help other powers act as counterweights to the development of a potentially hostile Eurasian bloc. The only sensible way to do that would be to support “radical Islam,” not fight it. Let me explain why.</p>
<p>When the Zionists and their dupes speak of “radical Islam,” what they really mean is not the crazy, isolated terrorist groups, most of them run by Mossad and other Zionist-influenced intelligence agencies, that target their fellow Muslims. What the Zionists are mortally afraid of is the Islamic world becoming politically united and economically and technologically successful.</p>
<p>The movement to rebuild the Islamic nation, the umma, is <a href="http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/brmiddleeastnafricara/346.php" target="_blank">supported by a strong majority of Muslims worldwide</a>: “Two-thirds (of of the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims) would even like to ‘unify all Islamic counties into a single Islamic state or caliphate.’” (WorldPublicOpinion.org)</p>
<p>If the US really wants to support democracy in the Middle East, it should throw its support behind that majority of Muslims, and help pave the road to a newly-united Islamic umma. A newly-united caliphate would be the natural ally of the US, which would help it control and protect its energy resources against possible threats from energy-hungry China and nuclear-armed Russia and India. A newly-empowered, US-allied caliphate would use its oil wealth to become one of the world’s top three superpowers, alongside the US and China, ahead of Russia and India. It would be a key stabilizing force in a peaceful multi-polar world order. And it would be, among the big powers, the closest US ally.<br />
Why isn’t the US actively helping the world’s Muslims re-unite their umma? Why is the US in fact fighting a brutal and deceptive war to smash and destroy key parts of the Muslim world, and to prevent any such reunification and re-empowerment?</p>
<p>The answer is obvious: This war on Islam is being waged by a fanatical minority of Zionists who have used their power in finance, media, political money, and organized crime to essentially take over the US and turn it against its own interests, as well as the interests of the world’s Muslims.</p>
<p>The Zionists know that if Muslims gain even a tiny fraction of the power they ought to have, relative to their proportion of the world’s population, Israel as a Jewish apartheid state is finished.</p>
<p>That is why the <a href="http://mondoweiss.net/2008/02/do-jews-dominat.html" target="_blank">heavily-Zionist-influenced media</a> churns out Islamophobic fantasies 24/7/365. And that is why the Zionists have duped the U.S. into a war on Islam, disguised as a self-evidently-absurd “war on terror,” launched by the <a href="http://www.mujca.com/luttwak.htm" target="_blank">9/11 coup d’etat</a>.</p>
<p>It is time for patriotic Americans to rise up and overthrow the Zionist facist regime that overthrew our government and burned our Constitution on September 11th, 2001. And it is time for Americans to demand a rational foreign policy that takes account of American interests, rather than being subservient to the interests of Zionism.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Eine kurze Mitteilung macht das Elend deutlich: Die Gate-Sauna in Mitte hat das gleiche Problem wie ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Eine kurze Mitteilung macht das Elend deutlich:</p>
<p><a href="http://skorpionstich.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/foto0041.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-158 alignleft" title="Mitteilung der Gate-Sauna an ihre Gäste" src="http://skorpionstich.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/foto0041.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>Die Gate-Sauna in Mitte hat das gleiche Problem wie alle ihre Nachbarn: Durch die Willkür der Staatsverwaltung wird ihnen eine Zwangspause aufgezwungen &#8211; ohne Entschädigung.</p>
<p>Der Grund: ein deutsch-israelisches Regierungstreffen in Berlin.</p>
<p>Man fragt man sich doch, was das eine mit dem anderen zu tun hat. Nun ja, durch die Paranoia einer kriegstreiberischen Regierung ist es nicht zulässig, dass sich fremde Personen in einen Bannkreis zu einer bestimmten Zeit aufhalten. Dass damit die persönliche Freiheit von Tausenden Menschen eingeschränkt wird, interessiert nicht.</p>
<p>Da kann es schon mal vorkommen, dass man stundenlang in Geiselhaft in einem BVG-Bus sitzt, nur weil dieser zur falschen Zeit am falschen Ort fuhr (nach Fahrplan). So geschehen im Mai diesen Jahres, als der rechtsreaktionäre Außenminister Isreals in Berlin weilte und sich unbedingt das Stelenfeld ansehen musste.</p>
<p>So ist das also. Erst wird an exponierter Lage durch Steuergelder ein künstlerisch fragwürdiges und überdimensioniertes Denkmal gebaut, nur um später diesen Steuerzahlern immer wieder Platzverbot zu erteilen, wenn mal wieder irgendwelche Regierungsmitglieder des Staates uns besuchen kommen, der sich durch die Unterstützung der USA und Deutschland zu einem der angriffslustigsten Kriegsstaaten entwickeln konnte &#8211; in dem Menschenrechte hauptsächlich Juden und anderen Nicht-Arabern zuteil werden.</p>
<p>Benimmt man sich als Besucher so? Oder auch als Gastgeber? Wirft man unliebsame Menschen, die ein Vorrecht haben, sich an einem Ort aufzuhalten einfach so vorübergehend raus, weil der Gast es so will?</p>
<p>Wenn hier jemand Antisemitismus rauslesen will, dann hat er falsch gelesen. Aber es darf heutzutage kein Tabu mehr sein, Israel zu kritisieren (auch wenn die Bewohner dieses Staates überwiegend Juden sind), ebenso wie es erlaubt sein muss, öffentlich zu sagen, dass ich Herrn Michel Friedman absolut unerträglich finde und es ein großer Fehler ist, dass er wieder im öffentlich-rechtlichen Fernsehen seine geifernden Tiraden ablassen und über andere moralisch zu richten darf, trotz seiner fragwürdigen Vita (Stichwort: Paolo Pinkel) &#8211; aber das ist ein anderes Thema.</p>
<p>Ich finde, dass dieser Staat nicht das Recht hat, die Anwohner und Gewerbetreibenden rund ums Holocaustdenkmal so in ihren Rechten zu beschneiden, wie er es auch morgen wieder tut &#8211; und das ohne jede Entschädigung.</p>
<p>Insbesondere im Fall der Gate-Sauna ist die Geschichte wirklich tragisch. In der Anfangszeit befand sich der Eingang in einer hinteren Ecke eines unbeleuchteten Anwohnerparkplatzes &#8211; die Diskretion, die eine solche Lokalität benötigt.</p>
<p>Durch den Bau des Mahnmals und der dazugehörigen Infrastruktur liegt dieser Eingang inzwischen an einer vielfrequentierten Straße ohne jede Diskretion. Die Geschäftsführer der Sauna haben inzwischen auch schon die Regenbogenflagge eingeholt und wollen möglichst wenig auffallen &#8211; ebenso wie die &#8220;heterosexuellen&#8221; Vormittagsgäste, die morgen ausbleiben werden.</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>Update 30.11.: Netanjahu krank &#8211; Treffen auf unbestimmtes Datum verschoben &#8211; der nächste Grund, die Anwohner zu mobben!!!!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Can you tell me why we&#8217;re in Afghanistan? Are we really looking for Bin Ladin? The same old tired answers. The Taliban, Bin Ladin, what? Certainly it&#8217;s not that we&#8217;re opposed to sharia law as we&#8217;re allowing it to infiltrate our culture. Why do we even have such an army? Someone on the radio the other day said it was mandated by the Constitution to protect us. I can&#8217;t find that crap anywhere in our Constitution.</p>
<p>The real answer to our middle east problems is to get the heck out. These people have been at war for thousands of years and maybe that&#8217;s why the world thinks we&#8217;re arrogant. Because we think we&#8217;re going to go in there and end all this.</p>
<p>The first thing I always hear when I suggest this is, &#8220;What about Isreal?&#8221;. My friends let me tell you about Isreal. It&#8217;s not Isreal that needs protecting from us, they can take care of themselves. If anything we restrict them from having their way in the middle east. Isreal is a military powerhouse not to be triffled with that would make quick work of any invading force if not for our meddling. I said ANY invading force.</p>
<p>Why then are we in the middle east? This question has always puzzled me since I was very young and first found out what was going on there. As long as I can remember we have had a military presence there. The obvious answer is oil but that don&#8217;t seem to be adding up. We go in there and tear up and spend billions of dollars and all we get is higher gas prices. No, oil doesn&#8217;t make sence either.</p>
<p>How about control, are we trying to control some thing or some one? I don&#8217;t really see that happening. Everytime we go in there we seem to lose control. No, I think that if you&#8217;ll think about it you&#8217;ll find that the only thing happening here is a redistribution of wealth.</p>
<p>WHAT? Well think about it.</p>
<p>We have made the Saudi&#8217;s very wealthy. Every street urchin there has pockets full of American dollars. Oil money. As well as Viet Nam, Korea, Japan. Need I continue? WTF? Don&#8217;t listen to Hanoi Jane and her ilk on this. Those people are so much better off than they were that it makes me sick. Go there. See for yourself. Ask them. They will tell you.</p>
<p>The media goes in and finds all the hard luck stories to tear at your heart but the real story is that we brought these countries out of the middle ages and into the present. Has anyone been paying attention? The best thing that can happen to these third world holes is for us to drag our big, dumb, military butts in there and stimulate the heck out of their economy.</p>
<p>REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH! It has been going on right under your nose for your entire life and you didn&#8217;t even realize it.</p>

<description><![CDATA[(Source) Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer has become the first hospital in Israel to administer ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>(<a href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1130246.html" target="_blank">Source</a>) Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer has become the first hospital in Israel to administer marijuana to patients for medical purposes. Over the last six months, as part of a pilot project, 20 patients have been treated with the drug.</p>
<p>The first was a 24-year-old cancer patient, who recently died. She was hospitalized about six months ago in the hematology ward and suffered severe pain and nausea. According to Ora Shamai, the head nurse for Sheba&#8217;s pain management program, &#8220;the patient had a permit from the Health Ministry, and she had joints, but the ward wouldn&#8217;t let her smoke them,&#8221; due to the presence of specialized equipment in the ward that could be disrupted by opening a window.</p>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="right">
<p>The hospital therefore moved her to a private room in the oncology ward. There, she was able to smoke her marijuana by an open window.</p>
<p>Shamai recently finished drafting a formal protocol for administering medical marijuana, the first to be drafted by any Israeli hospital. The document has already been approved by the Health Ministry&#8217;s Dr. Yehuda Baruch, who is in charge of approving marijuana treatments, and is expected to receive final approval from the hospital soon.</p>
<p>The protocol states that if a patient needs marijuana, the doctor in charge of treating him will help him secure the necessary permit from the ministry. Ambulatory patients will smoke their joints in the hospital&#8217;s smoking room. Bedridden patients will be allowed to smoke only in private rooms, near an open window.</p>
<p>&#8220;We make it clear to the staff that smoking medical marijuana doesn&#8217;t endanger the medical staff on the wards,&#8221; Shamai said. &#8220;It does not harm those in the area via passive smoking.&#8221;</p>
<p>A more serious concern is that smoking the drug could hurt the patient himself. &#8220;It&#8217;s certainly a dilemma, but it&#8217;s the lesser of two evils,&#8221; said Dr. Itay Gur-Arie, the head of Sheba&#8217;s pain management unit. &#8220;When you&#8217;re talking about smoking a joint or two a day, we don&#8217;t think this causes short-term harm to the patients.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Israel Association for the Advancement of Medical Cannabis, which has also been involved in the project from the beginning, is now raising money for machines that vaporize the marijuana and allow patients to inhale it as steam, without the need to light a joint. Five such machines are already in use in Sheba.</p>
<p>Israel is one of the first countries to have permitted the use of medical marijuana, along with Holland, Germany, Canada and some American states. And Sheba&#8217;s protocol is one of the first in the world to regulate the use of this drug in hospitals.</p>
<p>Ran Gottlieb, 51, of Gan Yavneh, is one of the people who participated in the pilot. A disabled army veteran of 35 years&#8217; standing, he was hospitalized at Sheba three months ago after breaking some of his vertebrae in a household accident, and suffered severe pain and occasional spasms. The marijuana the hospital administered &#8220;helped me with the pain, significantly reduced the spasms and improved my mood,&#8221; he said.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong><a href="http://pakalert.wordpress.com/2009/11/23/iran-begins-large-scale-war-games-to-defend-nuclear-sites/">PakAlertPress</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Iran has begun five days of large-scale war games to simulate attacks on its nuclear sites, officials said, warning it will retaliate if provoked.</strong></p>
<p><strong><img src="http://www.alarabonline.org/english/data/2009/09/09-28/zmainz/900p.jpg" alt="" /> </strong></p>
<p>The head of Iran’s air defence said the aim of the exercises was to thwart aerial reconnaissance and air attacks.</p>
<p>Another official warned Tehran would retaliate with a missile strike on Tel Aviv, if it was attacked by Israel.</p>
<p>Iran is under intense pressure over its nuclear programme, which critics say is intended to produce nuclear weapons.</p>
<p>The US and Israel have not ruled out the prospect of a military attack to prevent Iran developing nuclear bombs. Tehran insists its programme is peaceful.<br />
<em><strong>IRAN’S NUCLEAR SITES</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><em><strong><img src="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/46443000/gif/_46443625_iran_nuclearsites_0909.gif" border="0" alt="Map showing Iranian nuclear sites" hspace="0" vspace="0" width="226" height="170" /></strong></em></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong>Iran insists that all its nuclear facilities are for energy, not military purposes</strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong>Bushehr: Nuclear power plant</strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong>Isfahan: Uranium conversion plant</strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong>Natanz: Uranium enrichment plant, 4,592 working centrifuges, with 3,716 more installed </strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong>Second enrichment plant: Existence revealed to IAEA in Sept 2009. Separate reports say it is near Qom, and not yet operational</strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong> </strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong> </strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong><em><strong></p>
<div><em><strong>Arak: Heavy water plant</strong></em></div>
<p></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></strong></em></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>Annihilation warning</strong></p>
<p>The head of Iran’s air defence, Brig Gen Ahmad Mighani, told state media the aim of the war games, which will cover an area of 600,000 sq km (230,000 sq miles), was “to display Iran’s combat readiness and military potentials.</p>
<p>“Due to the threats against our nuclear facilities it is our duty to defend our nation’s vital facilities,” he said.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Mojhtaba Zolnoor, an aide to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warned Iran would respond to any Israeli attack.</p>
<p>“If the enemy attacks Iran, our missiles will strike Tel Aviv,” he was quoted as saying by the official Irna news agency.</p>
<p>The commander of the elite Revolutionary Guards’ air force wing said Iran’s air defence forces would “annihilate” Israeli warplanes if they attacked.</p>
<p>“Their [Israeli] F-15 and F-16 fighters will be trapped by our air defence forces and will be annihilated,” Amir Ali Hajizadeh told Iran’s Fars news agency.</p>
<p>“Even if their planes escape and land at the bases from which they took off, their bases will be struck by our destructive surface-to-surface missiles.”</p>
<p><strong>Deal in doubt</strong></p>
<p>The exercises come as the UN Security Council’s permanent members – Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States – plus Germany, urge Tehran to reconsider its rejection of a proposal that would see some of its nuclear material being enriched outside Iran and returned as fuel rods.</p>
<p>The deal – brokered by the UN’s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency – envisages Iran sending about 70% of its low-enriched uranium to Russia and France, where it would be processed into fuel rods for a research reactor in Tehran.</p>
<p>Such a process would prevent Iran enriching uranium to the degree necessary to make a bomb, the UN says.</p>
<p>But Iran has rejected a key part of the deal, seeking further guarantees.</p>
<p>The UN Security Council has called on Iran to stop uranium enrichment and has approved three rounds of sanctions – covering trade in nuclear material, as well as financial and travel restrictions.</p>

<p>By <a href="http://www.pakistanintellectuals.com/index.php?option=com_content&#38;view=article&#38;id=344:arrival-of-imam-mahdi-and-rise-of-islam&#38;catid=13:featured-news&#38;Itemid=8" target="_blank">Sajjad Shaikh</a></p>
<p>The coming of the Mahdi is one of the major signs of Judgement Day. Unlike the minor signs his appearance will signal that the Final Hour is near and that believers must ensure that they are ready to endure its trials and tribulations (fitan).</p>
<p><img src="http://pakalert.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/imam.jpg?w=600&#38;h=399" alt="" /></p>
<p>The Mahdi will come at a time when Muslims will have become disunited and where tyranny and corruption will have prevailed.The situation will be so bad that a person would wish he was not born or that if someone died he would wish that it was him.</p>
<p>The story of al-Mahdi, as recounted in the sunnah, is a story of hope where the struggle between Haqq (Good) and Baatil (Evil) results in the believers gaining victory over the disbelievers, where the earth is filled with peace and justice due to the just rule of al-Mahdi. It is narrated by Abu Said al-Khudri (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wassalam) said: “At the end of the time of my ummah,the Mahdi will appear. Allah will grant him rain, the earth will bring forth its fruits, he will give a lot of money, cattle will increase and the ummah will become great.” (Reported by al-Haakim in his Mustadrak, 4/557-558).The story of mahdi is one that encourages the believers to work for the unity of Muslims and the justice of Islam via the establishment of the Khilafah and the application of the Shariah as the believer knows that one day the whole world will be enlightened by the light of Islam and falsehood shall vanish. But until that day comes he must take encouragement from the bashaarat (glad tidings) of the Messenger (Sallallahu alaihi wassalam) and strive and work for Islam following the Sunnah of the Messenger (Sallallahu alaihi wassalam).</p>
<p>So it is sad to hear sometimes that some find in the story of Mahdi an excuse and justification for inaction, taking the fatalistic view that we as an Ummah cannot, and even should not, do anything about the corrupt situation until the Mahdi appears at the end of time and establishes the Khilafah. Clearly, this is not the message the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) took when they heard the story directly from the lips of the Messenger (Sallallahu alaihi wassalam). They heard this story and they took its lessons and they worked tirelessly, first in Makkah in order to establish dar al-Islam and then after its establishment in Madinah to consolidate and extend the influence of the Islamic state.After the death of al-Mustafa (Sallallahu alaihi wassalam) the Sahabah appointed Khulafah who extended the authority of Islam even further until the light of Islam had spread to a large part of the world. So how can it be that the coming of the Mahdi has become an excuse for the resignation to the corrupt reality? Indeed, if we analyse the authentic reports about the coming of Mahdi from both a prophetic and legal point of view we can conclude the following:</p>
<p>The Khilafah will not be established by the Mahdi but he will be a Khaleefah coming after the death of the Khaleefah before him. In other words the Khilafah will have been established by the Muslims before the coming of the Mahdi.This can clearly be seen in the hadith narrated by Umm Salamah (ra) that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu alaihi wassalam) said: “Disagreement will occur at the death of a caliph and a man of the people of Medina will come flying forth to Mecca. Some of the people of Mecca will come to him, bring him out against his will and give bay’ah to him between the Rukn and the Maqam. An expeditionary force will then be sent against him from Syria but will be swallowed up in the desert between Mecca and Medina. When the people see that, the God fearing people of Syria and the best people of Iraq will come to him and swear allegiance to him between the Corner and the Maqam. Then there will arise a man of Quraysh whose maternal uncles belong to Kalb and send against them an expeditionary force which will be overcome by them, and that is the expedition of Kalb. Disappointed will be the one who does not receive the booty of Kalb. He will divide the property, and will govern the people by the Sunnah of their Prophet (peace be upon him) and establish Islam on Earth. He will remain seven years…” (Reported by at-Tabarani in al-Awsat.According to Ibn Hajar in his Majma’ az-Zawaid the transmitters in at-Tabarani’s narration are sound and authentic.)</p>
<p>Notice the above hadith states that disputes will take place at the death of the Khaleefah and consequently a man will come forth who after being given bay’ah as the khaleefah will declare himself to be the Mahdi. So clearly Mahdi will not establish the Khilafah Rashidah that will return as foretold in the ahadith, and as well he will not be the first Khaleefah after the destruction of the Khilafah and nor will he be the last Khaleefah. Rather, he will be a just Khaleefah who will establish the justice of Islam on earth.This is from the perspective of the account of the story as prophesised by the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wassalam).</p>
<p>From a shar’I or legal perspective the hadith which detail the emergence of the Mahdi do not establish any Shariah rules for the reality of Muslims of today, as they relate to a different situation when the Khilafah exists.A Hukm Shar’i or divine rule comes for a manaat (reality to which the hukm pertains) which requires a ruling, which is our current reality and not the end of time which will be signaled by the major signs of the day of judgment.A hukm shar’i essentially is a request to do an action or refrain from it whether by way of obligation (wujoob), prohibition (tahreem), encouragement (nadb) or discouragement (karaaha).Although the hadiths about the Mahdi do not request the obligation to establish the Khilafah, as they are largely ikhbari (informative) in nature and as the Khilafah will already exist when the Mahdi comes (which is why we say this reality is inapplicable), but they certainly do NOT say it is not obligatory to work for a Khilafah when it does not exist. Indeed the Shariah rules established at the time of the Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wassalam) are applicable till the end of time as long as they pertain to the reality for which they came. So not only must the Muslims abide by them, so must the Mahdi and so did ‘Isa (Alaihi as salam) who came not as a Prophet but as a follower of the Shariah of Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wassalam). So if the coming of a great Prophet like Isa (as), after the prophethood of Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wassalam), cannot suspend the rules of the Shariah, how can the coming of the Mahdi suspend them?</p>
<p>As for the hukm shar’i on what to do when the Khilafah does not exist, as we see in our situation today, we need to refer to the following hadith of the Messenger (Sallallahu alaihi wassalam) as it addressed that very manaat (reality): “Whosoever dies without a bay’ah on his neck dies the death of Jahiliyyah.” (Reported by Muslim in his Sahih).This hadith clarifies by its implied meaning (mafhum) that it is not permitted for a Muslim to live without the presence of a Khaleefah as it censures the one who dies without his presence. Consequently, it becomes obligatory on the Muslim to work for the presence of a Khaleefah who will rule justly and work to remove, through only da’wah and political struggle, the Ruwaibidah that are our current despicable rulers.This is our reality today and the work to establish the Khilafah is the vital issue that the Muslims cannot neglect.</p>
<p>Whilst the coming of the Mahdi is an important subject in the books of hadith, it is almost as though some have taken the subject as a “get-out” clause to not work for the return of the Khilafah and the giving of bayah to the next Khaleefah.As though the mere mention of Khilafah in the time of Mahdi in some way excuses Muslims from their obligation of removing the corrupt regimes of today.Yes, there will be a Khilafah again inSh’Allah, but will we all be of the ummah that lived in darkness and did nothing to change that situation? And wait for Allah (SWT) to bring a people that loved him and He (SWT) loved.</p>
<p>يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مَن يَرْتَدَّ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِهِ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِي اللّهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ يُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ وَلاَ يَخَافُونَ لَوْمَةَ لآئِمٍ</p>
<p>“O you who believe! If you ever abandon your faith, Allah will in time bring forth (instead of you) people whom he loves and who love Him – humble towards the believers, strong towards all who deny truth: [people] who strive hard in Allah’s cause, and do not fear to be censured by anyone who might censure them” [5:54]</p>

<h2>The Spiritual War</h2>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><img class="aligncenter" src="http://pakalert.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/israel-2.jpg?w=330&#38;h=397" alt="" width="330" height="397" /></strong></p>
<p>967, a report was issued under the presidency of Lyndon B. Johnson, “The iron mountain report” which was a global research study on the possibility and desirability of peace in US. This was the era of cold war, the time when US was in the middle of Vietnam war and both US and Soviet Union providing excuses to Egypt, and Jordan that they can’t help them for the upcoming invasion on Israel (the 6 day war). How funny it seems now that the biggest opponents of cold war were practicing same diplomacy tactics when it comes to the sovereignty of Israel and dealing with Muslims. One can say that this was the right time to look for world peace and this study was conducted just for that…. or not. This report has reached the conclusion that the worst thing that can happen to United States and its national security were if world peace were to come about. It said that “if lasting peace could be achieved in the world, it would almost certainly not be in the best interest of the society because war is an essential part of the system, war is an essential part of the economy”. Period.</p>
<p>The above concept refers to the teachings of Leo Strauss a professor at Hebrew University of Jerusalem and who is known to be a political Zionist. It is widely believed that it was his teachings that fostered neoconservative foreign policy of George W. Bush’s administration. It was his teachings that resulted in the formation of Neo-cons or more accurately “Neo-con Evangelist Christian Zionists”. Among his famous students being Paul Wolfowitz, who was deputy secretary of defense during U.S. led Iraq war and William Galtson who was a senior advisor to President Bill Clinton on domestic policy. It is hence no surprise, that Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld who are known for orchestrating the whole Iraq war, are among the well-known neo-cons who crave for war to fill their own interests.</p>
<p>The concept of keeping society intact by keeping them in a fear of constant war is not just a Western doctrine. Chanakya, who was an adviser and prime minister to the first Maurya Emperor, Chandragupta and who played an important part in the foundation and governance of Maurya dynasty used to say, that in order to gain control over the people of the country, always keep them in war with your neighboring dynasty or country. Hence it is not surprising at all that India has never been on good terms with it’s neighbours and these terms don’t seem to be on their way to improvement anytime soon..</p>
<p>Why global peace is such a dangerous phenomenon that it used to and still threatens the mightiest of empires and countries. If we dig deeper, the idea of world peace has been reduced to symbols from ancient mythology that are the very opposite of everything that reflects positive energy. For example, the sign of world peace (the dove) is in reality a ritualistic symbol for the Illuminati. Why the most powerful and influential people of the planet are scared of global peace? This is not a matter of imposing martial law on the people of the planet, the upraising of new world order. This has nothing to do with gaining more power or taking over the world or implanting RFID chips in humans as if they are “products” tagged with a number, these are just small pieces in the bigger picture. Believe it or not, even the most ritualistic or evil of mankind wants to get enlightened with satanic power, the power of evil, the power of their satanic god “Lucifer”.</p>
<p>The Satan challenged ALLAH (SWT):<br />
“O My Lord, because Thy hast put me in the wrong, I will make (wrong) fair-seeming to them on the earth and I will put them all in the wrong. Except thy servants among them, sincere and purified (by Thy Grace)” (Al Hijr: 39-40)</p>
<p>And the war has been waged on mankind ever since. The question here is, who was purified by the will of God and how many dedicated their lives to serving the sinister plan of Satan, who thrives on anarchy, war and mayhem. The world peace is a threat to those who are the followers of satan. This is a war of spiritual values, the religious beliefs of the good and the evil, this is the war of the verses..</p>
<p>President George W. Bush told French President Jacques Chirac in early 2003 that Iraq must be invaded to invoke Gog and Magog, the Bible’s satanic agents of the Apocalypse. The president of the United States, in a top-secret phone call to a major European ally, asked for French troops to join American soldiers in attacking Iraq as a mission from God. During the Iraqi invasion in 2003, their out of office statement was that “Gog and Magog are at work in the Middle East…the biblical prophecies are being fulfilled…this confrontation is willed by God … and this is necessary before the beginning of the new age”. Now all of a sudden the prophecies from the book of Ezekiel and Jeremiah (Jewish Books) are so important for them that they were willing to forget their very own New Testament which clearly tells us the downfall of their evil (read: satanic worship) in such a way that even their ultimate savior Jesus (PBUH) won’t help them.</p>
<p>But as Bible says:<br />
“Seeing they see not, and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.” (Matthew 13:13)</p>
<p>Even Quran tells us about Zulqarnain and the wall that he built to keep Gog and Magog from spilling onto the earth. Yes we allowed them to manipulate our ancient history by replacing Zulqarnain with Alexander the Great but this is just another example of our ignorance. We might have seen the movie “Alexander the Great” and admired it but we have no fear or knowing of the second coming on Gog and Magog prophesized in Quran:</p>
<p>“But when Gog and Magog are let loose and they rush headlong down every height (or advantage). Then will the True Promise draw near” (Al Anbiyaa:96-97)</p>
<p>There is nothing significant about Horus sharing same life events as of Jesus. What most of us don’t know this Egyptian methodology of Horus is same as the methodology of Nimrod with her mother Semiramis and the miraculous birth. Horus who was also known as the “war god” or the “god of war” is associated with the falcon. The great seal of United States which features the “falcon” on one side and “pyramid” on the reverse side, strongly reinforces their dogma of following the Horus and Egyptian gods. A detailed study of events occur in the Mesopotamian region (present day Iraq, with some parts of Syria, Turkey and Iran) will give you so much more that will change your point of view on macro level. The Operation Iraqi Liberation wasn’t about just OIL. For them Iraq (former Babylon) is the land of their serpent Gods. For them they are the new leaders of the planet. They will prove what once has been joked by Ronald Reagan on international media that “What is that we need to build world peace … an attack from some outer space, an alien attack that will unite us under one supervision” (New World Order).</p>
<p>You may call them evil beings or satan worshippers … you can see them worshipping and presenting sacrifices to Moloch every year in July (The Bohemian Grove) and still we don’t understand why they are doing this? Nimrod was the first monarch on this earth who wanted to take over the whole world. Today Nimrod statue is present in Israel with Nimrod being one of the most famous names among its inhabitants. He was a “fire-worshipper” and he’s been idealized in a country formed on the ideology of a monotheistic religion. It’s hard to imagine what kind of evil we are dealing with and knowing no evil makes you one of them. This is what they are trying to do to keep us ignored and in return we are becoming a devil within our ownselves.</p>
<p>No matter how much you talk about the Holocaust of World War II, no matter how much you yell over the legality of Belfour Declaration, blame Lawrence of Arabia, Mufti Amin Al Hussaini (the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem), Anwar Saadat anyone. According to Jews, creation of Israel is the fulfillment of the prophecy written in Torah (old testament).</p>
<p>“I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silence, and give Him no rest, till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth”. (Isaiah 62:6, 7)<br />
Then say to them what Adonai Elohim says: ‘I will take the people of Israel from among the nations where they have gone and gather them from every side and bring them back to their own land”. (Ezekiel 37: 21)</p>
<p>If we dig history further, these verses are in conflict with each other and we will notice a pattern in them which will lead us to the present time, to the world we know today. The problem is we have forgotten our history our roots, we have been put into sleep deliberately and they, they have memorized history like no one’s business.</p>
<p>In the “book of Daniel” comes a story about a prophet of God named Daniel who, while explaining the meaning of a dream seen by the king of Babylon, ‘Nebuchadnezzar’ prophesiezed the upcoming world events. This was the time of Jewish exile into Babylon. It was here in Babylon the Jews started learning and practicing black magic known as “Kabbalah”. It was a time for the creation of Talmud and Mishnah, both being books of law that deviates Jews from the original commandments given to Moses and which govern the present day Israel. Prophet Daniel in the year 333 BC prophesized about the upcoming empires of the world. In the end of it he prophesized that, 2300 years from then on, an “evil empire” will emerge on the face of this earth and from that point we will enter into the end of times. Do your math and you’ll find out that the year is 1967. The year in which after the end of 6 days war with Palestine, Syria, Jordan and Egypt, Israel was able to capture the Sinai desert, Golan heights, West bank and Jerusalem. It was after this war that Israel emerged on the face of the earth as a superpower : An empire founded on murder and injustice: or in the words of Prophet Danile (PBUH), an ‘evil’ empire. He also prophesized that 45 years after the creation of the evil empire, the time for the coming of Antichrist or Dajjal will be very near. Do your math again and find out which year he is referring to.</p>
<p>This is a war initiated by Satan himself and it is a battle for our soul. Dajjal being the final of Satan’s weapon for inflicting unbearable pain on the sons and daughters of Adam, is about to be unleashed into this world. The Quran teaches that for Nimrod came Abraham, for Pharoah came Moses and for Dajjal will come Jesus (PBUH). So, the question that we need to ask is; are we ready for this war on the ground and more importantly within ourselves? The misinterpretation and manipulation of holy scriptures is nothing but a warfare technique chosen by satan and his followers. Those who understand this know that this is in every sense a ’spiritual’ war.</p>

<description><![CDATA[By: PKKH When waging war “by way of deception,” the motto of Israel’s Mossad, well-timed crises play]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>By: <strong><a href="http://pakistankakhudahafiz.wordpress.com/2009/11/17/israel-pakistan-and-us/">PKKH</a></strong></p>
<p>When waging war “by way of deception,” the motto of Israel’s Mossad, well-timed crises play a critical agenda-setting role by displacing facts with what a target population can be deceived to believe. Thus the force-multiplier effect, when staged crises are reinforced with pre-staged intelligence. In combination, the two often prove persuasive.</p>
<p>Such agent provocateur operations typically include collateral incidents as pre-staging for the intended main event. Ongoing incidents suggest a follow-on operation is underway. Recent history suggests we’ll see an orgy of evidence that plausibly indicts a pre-staged Evil Doer. Though Iran is an obvious candidate, Pakistan is also a possibility where outside forces have been destabilising this nuclear Islamic nation with a series of violent incidents. Will it be coincidence if the next war—like the last—is consistent with the expansive goals of Jewish nationalists?</p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p>December 2007 saw the murder of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto. Mark Siegel, her Ashkenazem biographer and lobbyist, had assured US diplomats that her return was “the only possible way that we could guarantee stability and keep the presidency of Musharraf intact.” President Pervez Musharraf had announced that resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict was essential to the resolution of conflicts in Iraq and neighbouring Afghanistan. That comment made him a target for Tel Aviv. During Bhutto’s two terms as prime minister, Pakistani support for the Taleban — then celebrated as the Mujahideen — enabled her to wield influence in Afghanistan while also catalysing conflicts in Kashmir. By fuelling tension with India, she also fuelled an Indo-Israel alliance as Tel Aviv provided New Delhi with an emergency shipment of artillery shells during a conflict over the Kirpal region of Kashmir.</p>
<p>In January 2009, Israel delivered to India the first of three Phalcon Airborne Warning &#38; Control Systems (AWACS) shifting the balance of conventional weapons in the region. That sale confirmed what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had earlier announced: “Our ties with India don’t have any limitation….” That became apparent in April when Israel signed a $1.1 billion agreement to provide India an advanced tactical air defense system developed by Raytheon, a US  defense contractor.</p>
<p>In August 2008, Ashkenazem General David Kezerashvili returned to Georgia from Tel Aviv to lead an assault on separatists in South Ossetia with the support of Israeli arms and training. That crisis ignited Cold War tensions between the US and Russia, key members of the Quartet (along with the EU and the UN) pledged to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict. Little was said about the Israeli interest in a pipeline across Georgia meant to move Caspian oil through Turkey and on</p>
<p>Bhutto’s murder ensured a crisis that replaced Musharraf with Asif Ali Zardari, her corrupt husband. By Washington’s alliance with Zardari, the US could be portrayed as extending its corrupting influence in the region. On August 7, 2008, Zadari-led ruling coalition called for a no-confidence vote in Parliament against Musharraf just as he was departing for the Summer Olympics in Beijing. On August 8, heavy fighting erupted overnight in South Ossetia. As with many of the recent incidents in Pakistan, this violent event involved armed separatists. But for pro-Israeli influence inside the US government, would our State Department have installed in office the corrupt Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan, leading to record-level poppy production? Is the heroin epidemic presently eroding Russian society traceable to Israel’s infamous game theory war-planners?</p>
<p>In late November 2008, a terrorist attack in Mumbai, India’s financial centre, renewed fears of nuclear tensions between India and Pakistan. When the attackers struck a hostel managed by Chabad Lubavitch, an ultra-orthodox Jewish sect from New York, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni announced from Tel Aviv: “Our world is under attack.” By early December, Israeli journalists urged that we “fortify the security of Jewish institutions worldwide.”</p>
<p>Pakistani cooperation with “Islamic extremists” created the impression of enhanced insecurity and vulnerability for the US and its allies. That perceived threat was marketed by mainstream media as proof of the perils of  “militant Islam.”</p>
<p>With the Taleban and Al-Qaeda portrayed as operating freely in a nuclear-armed Islamic state, Tel Aviv gained traction for its claim that a nuclear Tehran posed an “existential threat” to the Jewish state. Meanwhile Israel’s election of an ultra-nationalist/ultra-orthodox coalition further delayed resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict.</p>
<p>More delay is destined to evoke more extremism and gain more traction for those marketing the “global war on terrorism.” Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni argued after the assault in Mumbai: “Israel, India and the rest of the free world are positioned in the forefront of the battle against terrorists  and extremism.”</p>
<p>In announcing that list, Islamabad was indicted by its exclusion even though Pakistan is dominantly Sunni and, unlike Iran’s Shia, abhors theocratic rule. The fact patterns suggest that Pakistan, not India, was the target of the murderous terrorism in Mumbai. Not surprisingly, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s recent mission to Islamabad was a diplomatic disaster. Abrasive and arrogant, America’s top diplomat reinforced Pakistani concerns that it is surrounded by hostile forces and that the nation is being set up to fail by Jewish nationalist advisers to a nation it considered an ally. In a climate of heightened tensions, Clinton undermined US interests, boosted the Israeli case for a global war on “Islamo-fascism” and lent credence to the Clash of Civilisations.</p>
<p>As Afghanistan and Pakistan join other nations being destabilised by outside forces, key questions must be answered:</p>
<p>· Was India’s 9-11 a form of geopolitical misdirection meant to serve both the tactical goals of Muslim extremists and the strategic goals of Jewish nationalists? Who benefits — within Pakistan — from humiliation at the hands of India and the US?</p>
<p>· With Bhutto’s murder and Musharraf’s departure, the crisis in Mumbai drew Pakistani forces to the Indian border and away from the western tribal region. Was that the geostrategic goal of these well-timed crises? What role, if any, did Israel play?</p>
<p>· Is delay in ending the occupation of Palestine part of an agent provocateur strategy? Was the latest assault on Gaza part of this strategy?</p>
<p>Each of these crises incrementally advanced the expansionist agenda of the Zionists. Do these collateral incidents trace their origin to a common source? Is that source again using serial events to pre-stage a main event?</p>
<p>The public has an intuitive grasp of the source of this oft-recurring behaviour. An October 2003 poll of 7,500 respondents in member nations of the European Union found that Israel was considered the greatest threat to world peace. Is terrorism limited to “Islamo-fascists”? Are mass murders also deployed as a strategy of geopolitical manipulation by those who philosopher Hannah Arendt described as  “Jewish fascists”?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>I had a terrifying dream about Israel last night. I was in the middle of another dream and received a phone call from Israel. As I was listening and trying to figure out who and what was calling me, I looked out over the sea and saw it bubbling. It was very frightening. It was as if it was boiling and also as if it was being agitated all at once.  I shivered.</p>
<p>Then I was in Israel up in the mountains above a major city (I assume Tel Aviv? But I wasn&#8217;t told what city was below and didn&#8217;t actually see the city either, I was just aware that it was there behind a boulder which was obscuring my view of it.) I was with a group of military men, most dressed in street clothes, one had a military jacket on but with regular clothes other than that. We were looking for bombs and armaments. While looking we found a long cylindrical shaped bomb, like a giant bullet. I heard them say mortar, but then heard a countdown, and when it got to the number one there was a massive explosion, everything went yellow and I woke up from the force of it.</p>
<p>In the dream I was told (there was a guide who I didn&#8217;t see but heard) that this was not an ordinary regional skirmish, but was much bigger than that, the beginning of a world war.</p>
<p>It was terrifying.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a long time since I had one of these bizarre dreams. I have found that they are not always literal. It could be some  major change in Israel&#8217;s relationship to the world is coming, perhaps from some sort of mind-blowing (hence the symbolism of the bomb and the color yellow) new ideas that could lead to an escalation in a march to a much bigger war. It could also be literal though. And sometimes the dreams are literal, but exaggerated in degree for effect. I haven&#8217;t figured it out completely yet, but I had to post the warning despite being swamped and being sick. I&#8217;ll let everyone know if I have any further clarification.</p>
<p>Many blessings,</p>
<p>Denise</p>

<h2><strong>Sarkozy to urge Assad today to open direct talks with Israel</strong></h2>
<p>By TOVAH LAZAROFF AND RON FRIEDMAN</p>
<p>French President Nicolas Sarkozy is expected to urge his Syrian counterpart to open direct talks with Israel, when the two men meet in Paris on Friday.</p>
<blockquote><p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18466" title="Syria France" src="http://ladylibertytoday.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/satellite.jpeg" alt="Syria France" width="224" height="155" />Sarkozy and Assad walk together at the end of the Damascus summit in September 2008.  Photo: AP</p></blockquote>
<p>While the US has focused mostly on jump-starting the stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, France has recently spent a lot of its energy on the Syrian track, which it believes is a critical key to Middle East peace.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu told Sarkozy during a meeting in the French capital that he would speak with Syrian President Bashar Assad &#8220;anytime, anywhere&#8221; and &#8220;without preconditions.&#8221;</p>
<p>A government source clarified that the prime minister would be willing to talk directly with Assad, something that has not happened since Ehud Barak was in the post 10 years ago.</p>
<p>Netanyahu himself has never spoken directly with Syria. Ehud Olmert held four rounds of indirect talks with the Syrians when he was prime minister, which were brokered by Turkey.</p>
<p>But the Turkish-Israeli relationship has recently become strained, opening the door to speculation that France could mediate any new talks. The Prime Minister&#38;apos;s Office on Thursday declined to comment on the possibility.</p>

<description><![CDATA[PakAlert When waging war “by way of deception,” the motto of the Israeli Mossad, well-timed crises p]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://pakalert.wordpress.com/2009/11/12/israels-role-in-destabilizing-pakistan/"><strong>PakAlert</strong></a></p>
<p>When waging war “by way of deception,” the motto of the Israeli Mossad, well-timed crises play a critical agenda-setting role by displacing facts with what a target population can be deceived to believe. Thus the force-multiplier effect when staged crises are reinforced with pre-staged intelligence. In combination, the two often prove persuasive.</p>
<p>That duplicity was on display when U.S. lawmakers were induced to invade Iraq in response to the mass murder of 9-11. That crisis alone, however, was insufficient. Military mobilization required a “consensus” belief in Iraqi WMD, Iraqi ties to Al Qaeda, Iraqi mobile biological weapons, Iraqi meetings in Prague, and so forth. Though all were false, those “facts” proved sufficient to induce an invasion of Iraq.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:XULshQLOTNf-3M:http://gksat.tv/images/stories/news2/4-2009/mossad-logo.jpg" alt="" width="111" height="130" /></p>
<p>Such agent provocateur operations typically include collateral incidents as pre-staging for the intended main event. Ongoing incidents suggest a follow-on operation is underway. Recent history suggests we’ll see an orgy of evidence that plausibly indicts a pre-staged Evil Doer. Though Iran is an obvious candidate, Pakistan is also a possibility where outside forces have been destabilizing this nuclear Islamic nation with a series of violent incidents.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong><strong>The Indo-Israel Alliance</strong></strong></span></strong></p>
<p>December 2007 saw the murder of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Mark Siegel, her <a href="http://pakalert.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/house-of-rothschild-no-one-can-understand-what-has-happened-to-the-planet-without-reading-this/" target="_blank">Ashkenazim</a> biographer and lobbyist, assured U.S. diplomats that her return was “the only possible way that we could guarantee stability and keep the presidency of Musharraf intact.”</p>
<p>President Pervez Musharraf had announced that resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict was essential to the resolution of conflicts in Iraq and neighboring Afghanistan. That comment made him a target for Tel Aviv.</p>
<p>During Bhutto’s two terms as prime minister, Pakistani support for the Taliban—then celebrated as the freedom-fighting Mujahadin—enabled her to wield influence in Afghanistan while also catalyzing conflicts in Kashmir. By fueling tension with India, she also fueled an Indo-Israel alliance as Tel Aviv provided New Delhi an emergency shipment of artillery shells during a conflict over the Kirpal region of Kashmir.</p>
<p>In January 2009, Israel delivered to India the first of three Phalcon Airborne Warning &#38; Control Systems (AWACS) shifting the balance of conventional weapons in the region. That sale confirmed what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had earlier announced: “Our ties with India don’t have any limitation….” That became apparent in April when Israel signed a $1.1 billion agreement to provide India an advanced tactical air defense system developed by Raytheon, a U.S. defense contractor.</p>
<p>In August 2008, <a href="http://pakalert.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/house-of-rothschild-no-one-can-understand-what-has-happened-to-the-planet-without-reading-this/" target="_blank">Ashkenazim</a> General David Kezerashvili returned to Georgia from Tel Aviv to lead an assault on separatists in South Ossetia with the support of Israeli arms and training. That crisis ignited Cold War tensions between the U.S. and Russia, key members of the Quartet (along with the EU and the UN) pledged to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-weight:normal;"><strong><strong>More Game Theory Warfare?</strong></strong></span></strong></p>
<p>Bhutto’s murder ensured a crisis that replaced Musharaff with Asif Ali Zardari, her notoriously corrupt husband. By Washington’s alliance with Zardari, the U.S. could be portrayed as extending its corrupting influence in the region.</p>
<p>On August 7, 2008, the Zadari-led ruling coalition called for a no-confidence vote in Parliament against Musharraf just as he was departing for the Summer Olympics in Beijing. On August 8, heavy fighting erupted overnight in South Ossetia. As with many of the recent incidents in Pakistan, this violent event involved armed separatists.</p>
<p>But for pro-Israeli influence inside the U.S. government, would our State Department have installed in office the corrupt Hamid Karzai in Afghanistan, leading to record-level poppy production? Is the heroin epidemic presently eroding Russian society traceable to Israel’s infamous game theory war-planners? [See “<a href="http://palestinethinktank.com/2009/08/26/jeff-gates-how-israel-wages-game-theory-warfare/" target="_blank">How Israel Wages Game Theory Warfare</a>” and “<a href="http://www.middle-east-online.com/English/?id=34283" target="_blank">Israel and 9-11</a>” .]</p>
<p><img src="http://pakalert.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/mumbai-false-flag.jpg?w=548&#38;h=487" alt="mumbai false flag" /></p>
<p>In late November 2008, a terrorist attack in Mumbai, India’s financial center, renewed fears of nuclear tension between India and Pakistan. When the attackers struck a hostel managed by Chabad Lubavitch, an ultra-orthodox Jewish sect from New York, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni announced from Tel Aviv: “Our world is under attack.” By early December, Israeli journalists urged that we “fortify the security of Jewish institutions worldwide.”</p>
<p>Soon after “India’s 9-11” was found to include operatives from Pakistan’s western tribal region, Zardari announced an agreement with the Taliban to allow Sharia law to govern a swath of the North West Frontier Province where Al Qaeda members reportedly reside.</p>
<p>Pakistani cooperation with “Islamic extremists” created the impression of enhanced insecurity and vulnerability for the U.S. and its allies. That perceived threat was marketed by mainstream media as proof of the perils of “militant Islam.”</p>
<p>With the Taliban and Al Qaeda portrayed as operating freely in a nuclear-armed Islamic state, Tel Aviv gained traction for its claim that a nuclear Tehran posed an “existential threat” to the Jewish state. Meanwhile Israel’s election of an ultra-nationalist/ultra-orthodox coalition further delayed resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict.</p>
<p>More delay is destined to evoke more extremism and gain more traction for those marketing the “global war on terrorism.” Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni argued after the assault in Mumbai: “Israel, India and the rest of the free world are positioned in the forefront of the battle against terrorists and extremism.”</p>
<p>In announcing that list, Islamabad was indicted by its exclusion even though Pakistan is dominantly Sunni and, unlike Iran’s Shi’a , abhors theocratic rule. The fact patterns suggest that Pakistan, not India, was the target of the murderous terrorism in Mumbai.</p>
<p>Advised by legions of<a href="http://pakalert.wordpress.com/2009/11/10/house-of-rothschild-no-one-can-understand-what-has-happened-to-the-planet-without-reading-this/" target="_blank"> Ashkenazim</a>, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s recent mission to Islamabad was a diplomatic disaster. Abrasive and arrogant, America’s top diplomat reinforced Pakistani concerns that it is surrounded by hostile forces and that the nation is being set up to fail by Jewish nationalist advisers to a nation it considered an ally.</p>
<p>In a climate of heightened tensions, Clinton undermined U.S. interests, boosted the Israeli case for a global war on “Islamo-fascism” and lent credence to the Clash of Civilizations.</p>
<p><strong>Destabilization as a Prequel to Domination</strong></p>
<p>As Afghanistan and Pakistan join other nations being destabilized by outside forces, key questions must be answered:</p>
<p>Was India’s 9-11 a form of geopolitical misdirection meant to serve both the tactical goals of Muslim extremists and the strategic goals of Jewish nationalists? Who benefits—within Pakistan—from humiliation at the hands of India and the U.S.?</p>
<p>With Bhutto’s murder and Musharraf’s departure, the crisis in Mumbai drew Pakistani forces to the Indian border and away from the western tribal region. Was that the geostrategic goal of these well-timed crises? What role, if any, did Israel play?</p>
<p>Is delay in ending the occupation of Palestine part of an agent provocateur strategy? Was the latest assault on Gaza part of this strategy?</p>
<p>Each of these crises incrementally advanced the expansionist agenda of Colonial Zionists. Do these collateral incidents trace their origin to a common source? Is that source again using serial events to pre-stage a main event?</p>
<p>The public has an intuitive grasp of the source of this oft-recurring behavior. An October 2003 poll of 7,500 respondents in member nations of the European Union found that Israel was considered the greatest threat to world peace.</p>
<p>Is terrorism limited to “Islamo-fascists”? Are mass murders also deployed—from the shadows—as a strategy of geopolitical manipulation by those who Ashkenazim philosopher Hannah Arendt described as “Jewish fascists”?</p>

<p>Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, is an &#8220;Islamist extremist.&#8221;   Obama &#38; commies do not want to release this information because they can&#8217;t afford to admit that the most destructive terrorist act to be committed on American soil since 9/11; happened on their watch!  The only thing Obama &#38; commies are watching is your wallet! </p>
<p>Could this <strong>TERRORIST ATTACK ON U.S. SOIL</strong> been prevented?  This attack may have been prevented if Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was a &#8220;rightwing extremist&#8221; instead of a &#8220;Islamist extremist&#8221;.  Maybe then the DHS would have had him listed on their &#8220;watchdog list&#8221;.</p>
<p>How many more attacks will we have to endure on Obama&#8217;s watch??  One is too many.  George Bush kept us safe for 8 years; Obama for only 8 months.  </p>
<p>Obama better react to this <strong>TERRORIST ATTACK ON U.S. SOIL</strong>!  We all remember what happened when Bill Clinton failed to react to the attack on the USS Cole&#8230;.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_1003" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://ramblingsfromredrose.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_5004.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1003" title="IMG_5004" src="http://ramblingsfromredrose.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/img_5004.jpg?w=300" alt="The Shepherds Souvenir Shop, Bethlehem" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Shepherds Souvenir Shop, Bethlehem</p></div>
<p>I&#8217;m starting to think about Christmas. I realise that this won&#8217;t be the first Christmas post for <a href="http://theconnexion.net/wp/?p=6151">some</a>, but I haven&#8217;t seen many about Christmas items in my newsreader yet. I get excited this time of year, even when I want to scream out against the commercialisation and my liturgical side wants to keep the focus on Advent (even though I love the Christmas decorations already out and I have already got my first Christmas recipe themed coffee from Starbucks).</p>
<p>Speaking of the commercialisation of Christmas, I remembered one of my favourite photos I took in Bethlehem earlier in the year, which you have no doubt already seen because it&#8217;s right there on the page. The shop is right across the street from the entrance to the Roman Catholic Shepherds&#8217; Field on the outskirts of Bethlehem. There&#8217;s a small cave with a chapel inside, said to be the place where the shepherds were huddled together the night the angels spoke. It was one of my favourite stops on our tour, and surprisingly so.</p>
<p>Our guide (a Palestinian Roman Catholic) answered questions about the poverty of the Palestinians and the wall built by the Israelis, forcing many into the role of outcast. He then moved straight into the story of shepherds, who were the poor and illiterate outcasts of their day. Our guide&#8217;s reminder: the poor and outcasts were waiting for the messiah, also. It was a Christmas Eve sermon I wished I could preach.</p>
<p>Of course, you leave the gates of Shepherds Field and you are right back into the commercialisation of Christmas! I love how the shepherds are following a star and the star guides them to&#8230; their very own souvenir shop!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Today was a much more difficult day. I think the theme running through it is the torture of the Incarnation.</p>
<p>We began going through the old city of Jerusalem to meet with the Latin Patriarch.  He was away, but the Chancellor of the Diocese of Jerusalem met with us instead.  He provided a nice intervention that shared an honest skepticism that peace would not be possible soon.  He did offer some points of hope but they were tempered by the reality that even the Christian community is not that united.</p>
<p>We next visited two holy sites, the Cenacle (the place of the last supper) and the Church of St. Peter Gallincantu.  This church is believed to have been the High Priest Caiphas&#8217; house where Jesus was condemned by the Jewish leaders and where Peter denied Jesus three times (thus the name of the church).  It is also here that Jesus would have been tortured and kept overnight in a dungeon before being taken to legal authorities the next day.</p>
<p>After lunch we had the gift (not a nice gift) of meeting some families whose house are being taken by settlers.  The story is a sad one but a typical one.</p>
<p>There are 28 households that were moved by the Ottomans in the 1910&#8217;s from their previous neighborhood in Jeresalem to their current one.  Now, the Israeli government has declared that the land is not theirs and has determined it should be made available for settlers.  They have begun moving these families out of their houses.  One family was able to get papers from Turkey proving that they are the rightful tenants of the land.  However, the case was &#8220;decided&#8221; before the official papers could arrive.  They have not been able to get an appeal hearing.</p>
<p>A word on &#8220;settlers&#8221; as the word brings up a connotation for Americans that is not true.  We think of settlers going to uninhabited or unused land and creating a new life, often from agriculture.  In Palestine, there is almost no uninhabited or unused land.  So to get the land they must take it.  The settlements are more like neighborhood or small towns than farm settlements.  The persons who are settlers fall into two types: religious/ideological and economic.  The first type believes the Holy Land should on be inhabited by Jewish persons.  The second are looking for a better life and housing.  In all cases the settlements are heavily subsidized by the Israeli government, which gets the largest amount of foreign assistance of any nation.  Our aid to the Israeli government frees money to subsidize the building and defending of the settlements.  So we who pay taxes are in part supporting the removal of families from their land.  The Israeli government&#8217;s reason is for security; however, their action squeezes the Palestinians so much that it builds pressure to a point where terrible things will happen.</p>
<p>The ongoing building of settlements is a torture to the people of Palestine.  Let us all pray for forgiveness and a peaceful resolution.</p>

<p><strong>India, Israel linked to Pakistan plot</strong></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">By Syed Saleem Shahzad</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">KARACHI – For the past 23 years, Afghanistan has served as a proxy military playing field for different countries,</p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="9788170491699 copy" src="http://pakalert.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/9788170491699-copy.jpg?w=150&#038;h=150#38;h=150" alt="9788170491699 copy" width="150" height="150" />including the former Soviet Union, the United States and Pakistan. Now, after a year of the US-led war on terrorism, a new proxy war has begun in Afghanistan, this time aimed at Pakistan and involving the intelligence networks of India and Israel.</p>
<p>It has been learned from highly placed intelligence sources that India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and Israel’s Mossad are collaborating to train several hundred militants to be used in an attempt to destabilize the administration of President General Pervez Musharraf.</p>
<p>The sources say that training camps have been established near the southern Afghan city of Kandahar, and the eastern city of Jalalabad, which lies close to Pakistan’s western tribal areas. It is said that RAW has arranged most of the “human resources”, while training is the responsibility of the Special Operations Division (Metsada) of Mossad. Metsada generally conducts highly sensitive assassination, sabotage, paramilitary and psychological warfare projects.</p>
<p>Once trained, the recruits will infiltrate the border areas of Pakistan’s North West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Balochistan Province, where they will attempt to forge links with local tribespeople and militants in an effort to rally support for an uprising against Musharraf, who is widely discredited in these regions for abandoning the Taliban and siding with the US in its war on terror. These provinces have a strong pro-Taliban history.</p>
<p><img src="http://pakistankakhudahafiz.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/dwf15-422998.jpg?w=360&#038;h=288#38;h=288" alt="" width="360" height="288" /></p>
<p>Musharraf’s decision to throw in his lot with the US resulted in pressure from Washington to clamp down on militant organizations and to stem the flow of jihadis from Pakistani soil into Indian-administered Kashmir. And since Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had strong (albeit covert) links with the militant organizations, it was able to bring pressure to bear on the leaders for them to back off for the interim.</p>
<p>However, while most of the leaders of these groups have been ready to cooperate with the military government, some of the rank and file have been less accommodating. Although their numbers are not great – a matter of hundreds – they are still a source of concern to Musharraf as they are fully equipped and trained. Nevertheless, the chaos that had been predicted by many for Pakistan, with disgruntled militant groups causing mayhem, never materialized, largely because of the understanding between the militant groups and the ISI.</p>
<p>The move by RAW and Mossad, as indicated by the intelligence sources, will tap into a large section of the population in NWFP and Balochistan that feels betrayed by Musharraf over his ditching of the Taliban. For India’s part, it hopes to stoke the fires of unrest by using those militants who refuse to muzzle their guns despite the entreaties of their leaders. It has long been India’s desire to portray Pakistan as an unstable country that supports cross-border terrorism into Kashmir in order to gain international support for Delhi’s position on Kashmir – that of staging elections.</p>
<p>In recent times, little-known organizations such as the al-Iqwan and the al-Faran have been the brainchild of RAW, the sources said. These groups have carried out a number of relatively minor incidents in Indian-administered Kashmir, such as kidnapping foreign tourists, which New Delhi has used to back its claim that Kashmiri fighters are international terrorists. These organizations have not been heard of since.</p>
<p>RAW has not been capable of setting up groups to carry out larger incidents without its hand being shown, hence its collaboration with Mossad, which is undoubtedly thoroughly professonal and which is thought to have carried out a number of high-profile incidents without leaving a trail.</p>
<p>Within Pakistan, a few small groups are known to be beyond the control of the Pakistani government. Two of them, the al-Saiqa and the Harkat-ul-Mujahideen al-Alami, have revealed themselves through fax messages to newspaper offices in which they have claimed responsibility for incidents.</p>
<p>Al-Saiqa comprises only a handful of men and is based in NWFP. It has claimed responsibility for various attacks on members of different security agencies early this year. More recently, it owned up to an attack on foreign tourists visiting a Buddhist site in NWFP in which a German citizen was killed.</p>
<p>The Harkat-ul-Mujahideen al-Alami is based in the Pakistani port city of Karachi and also comprises only a handful of youths. It is thought to be behind plots to assassinate Musharraf and interior minister Moinuddin Haider.</p>
<p>Similar small groups in Pakistan share the vision of once again turning Pakistan into a paradise for militant groups, and they all operate beyond the apparatus of the Pakistani intelligence network, as well as beyond the control of the mainstream militant groups. All have a footing of some sort in the tribal areas and remote rural regions.</p>
<p>It is into these groups that the new alliance between RAW and Mossad will feed their trained men in the hope of keeping the wheels of unrest moving sufficiently until popular unrest is strong enough to create anarchy in the country.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.presstv.ir/photo/20091107/jalili20091107105543109.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="216" /></p>
<p>A newly declassified Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) file indicates that an Israeli intelligence agent was among the staff members of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).</p>
<p>&#8220;WFO files disclose that AIPAC is a powerful pro-Israel lobbying group staffed by US citizens,&#8221; says the August 13, 1984 document- a secret communication from the FBI Washington Field Office (WFO) to the FBI director.</p>
<p>&#8220;WFO files contain an unsubstantiated allegation that a member of the Israeli Intelligence Service was a staff member of AIPAC,&#8221; it adds.</p>
<p>The secret FBI document was declassified and handed over to the Institute for Research: Middle Eastern Policy (IRmep) after it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.</p>
<p>IRmep needed the documents to file a third amicus brief urging Judge T.S. Ellis not to drop the charges brought against AIPAC workers Steve J. Rosen and Keith Weissman under the 1917 Espionage Act.</p>
<p>On May 1, 2009, the Department of Justice dismissed the espionage charges against the two former AIPAC staffers.</p>
<p>Department of Defense Employee Col. Lawrence Franklin who was indicted along with the AIPAC workers in 2005, however, pleaded guilty to the charges, admitting that he had provided classified information about Iran to two AIPAC employees.</p>
<p>Apparently the Israeli agent had promised to facilitate the appointment of Harman as the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee in exchange for the information.</p>
<p>It is widely believed that the 1984 and 2005 espionage incidents were not isolated events.</p>
<p>As part of a defamation lawsuit he has launched against AIPAC, Rosen intends to show that obtaining and leveraging classified US government information in the service of Israel is common practice at AIPAC.</p>
<p>He claims it was unfair for AIPAC to fire and smear him in the press after he was indicted on espionage charges in 2005. AIPAC lawyers, however, are hoping to get the case thrown out on technicalities before it goes to trial in early 2010.</p>
<p>AIPAC, considered the most powerful and connected lobbying group in Washington, is known for the influence that it holds over US foreign policy.</p>
<p>Former US president Jimmy Carter has also accused AIPAC of putting a great deal of pressure on politicians running for office who do not share AIPAC goals.</p>

<p>In an attempt to defuse Arab anger over her pro-Israeli remarks, the US secretary of state said Washington does not accept the legitimacy of Israeli settlement activities on Palestinian territories.</p>
<p>Speaking in Cairo after a Wednesday meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, Hillary Clinton said that the US wants a complete freeze on Israeli settlement activities in the occupied West Bank.</p>
<p>She had earlier praised the Israeli proposal of temporary suspension of Jewish settlement expansions during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, describing it as an &#8220;unprecedented&#8221; settlement concession.</p>
<p>She had also called the Palestinian demand for a full settlement freeze before the resumption of peace talks as a &#8216;precondition obstructing peace process.&#8217;</p>
<p>Her remarks appeared to be an endorsement of the Israeli assertion that talks should start before a complete end to illegal settlement activities.</p>
<p>This apparent U-turn in US settlement policy sparked protests among Arab nations and Palestinians who have repeatedly said that they would agree with the resumption of peace talks only after a full settlement freeze</p>

<p>Israel&#8217;s ambassador to Ankara has been pelted with eggs during a visit to a Turkish university in the coastal city of Trabzon.</p>
<p>Angry Turkish students threw eggs at Gabi Levy as he arrived at Karadeniz Teknik university on Wednesday.</p>
<p>The students protesting against Tel Aviv&#8217;s policies regarding the Palestinians, including the issues of illegal settlement activity in the West bank and the war on the Gaza Strip.</p>
<p>Police detained a group of 20 students and the Israeli ambassador left without getting out of his vehicle, Anatolia reported.</p>
<p>The embarrassing incident came only one day after Gabi Levy, who is on a tour of the region, faced harsh criticism in the nearby city of Rize, where local officials condemned Israel&#8217;s &#8220;policies of expansion and occupation&#8221; and said that the so-called “self-defense” should not involve &#8220;killing children.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ankara-Tel Aviv re relations deteriorated after Israel&#8217;s deadly military offensive in Gaza that killed over 1,400 Palestinians, mostly civilians, at the turn of the year.</p>
<p>The two side&#8217;s bilateral relations further deteriorated last month, after Ankara excluded Israel from an international air force exercise in protest at &#8220;the humanitarian tragedy&#8221; in Gaza and called for an immediate lifting of Gaza siege, which has put the region&#8217;s 1.5 million population in desperate need of basic necessities.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Will Pakistan be fragmented? Sandwiched between United States, European, Israeli and Indian designs ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><h3>Will Pakistan be fragmented?</h3>
<p>Sandwiched between United States, European, Israeli and Indian designs and Pakistani Quislings.</p>
<p>By <a href="http://www.srilankaguardian.org/2009/11/will-pakistan-be-fragmented.html">Latheef Farook</a></p>
<p>(November 02, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Will Pakistan, the only Muslim nuclear country, be fragmented as it was done in Iraq? This is the common fear among Pakistanis in view of the forces-United States, Europe and Israel, which turned Iraq and Afghanistan into slaughterhouses, are responsible for the deepening quagmire unfolding in Pakistan.</p>
<p>Pakistanis fear that the US led war on Islam and Muslims, under the guise of fighting war on terrorism, AlQaeda and Taleban, is extended to Pakistan .They are putting the Pakistani government of quislings against Pakistanis threatening the very survival of Pakistan. India remains an active partner in this US led conspiracy to destabilize yet another Muslim country.</p>
<p>President Barack Obama signed the 7.5 billion dollar aid package in mid October 2009 demanding Pakistan to launch military strike against its Pashtun tribes in wild South Waziristan. Pakistanis consider the numerous conditions linked to the aid package as insult to their country and many described the aid package as a Big Bribe that will go into the usual pockets.</p>
<p>Within days President Asif Zardari obediently unleashed a ferocious ground and air attack, using American-upgraded F-16s and helicopter gunships, indiscriminately killing, among the others, innocent civilians and destroying their shelters in the South Waziristan region amidst public outrage accusing the government of betraying Pakistan&#8217;s national interests at home, in Afghanistan and in Kashmir.</p>
<p>Hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women, children and the aged were made refugees overnight with no food, water or any other essential as it happened in Swat Valley in April this year.</p>
<p>Under this mercenary military offensive on Washington’s orders, the Pakistani government also permitted US to secretly create a mercenary army inside Pakistan pushing the military to the point of revolt.</p>
<p>United States, European and Israeli designs on Pakistan.</p>
<p>It appears that the American strategy in Pakistan is to Pakistani government against Pakistanis, provoke a civil war and plunge the country into chaos to neutralize its nuclear arsenal that has been US neoconservatives’ urgent priority. The Americans are not interested in Pakistan or its people. They only wanted collaborators and quislings and they found a willing partner in the Asif Zardari government.</p>
<p>Some accuse US of playing double game by financing the Taliban and demanding the government to fight the Taleban . Justifying this fear Pakistani daily “NEWS” stated that the US-led NATO forces vacated more than half a dozen security check posts, together with some posts close to North Waziristan, on the Afghan side of the border, just five days before the Pakistani military offensive began.</p>
<p>This facilitated Afghan Taliban to cross over to Pakistan and support fighters in striking back at the Pakistani security forces in the troubled tribal area-raising many eyebrows in the government and military circles. Shocked and intrigued by its timing the NWFP government and civilian and military officials alerted Islamabad.</p>
<p>Pakistanis consider America to be the greatest threat, worse than the arch rival India, to their sovereignty and independence .They are aware that already a map showing a truncated Pakistan has been in circulation and the ever growing collaborations among India, Afghanistan US, Europe and Israel.</p>
<p>Aggravating this fear, US plans to build the second largest embassy in the world in Islamabad, after its embassy in Baghdad, and reportedly demanding indirect veto power over promotions in Pakistan&#8217;s armed forces and intelligence agency-ISI. This crude attempt to exert more US influence over Pakistan&#8217;s 617,000-man military has enraged the armed forces and set off alarm bells.</p>
<p>Dealing with the US-European, Israeli and Indian conspiracy to destabilize Pakistan columnist Atif F Qureshi stated that;</p>
<p>* The ’surge’ in American troops in Afghanistan accompanied a ’surge’ in terrorism in Pakistan. While the Afghan Taliban never threatened Pakistani sovereignty, since 2001 thousands of innocents have been killed in a wave of suicide bombings in Pakistan that ‘coincidently’, began only after the US invasion and occupation of Afghanistan in 2001.</p>
<p>* The Afghan occupation is deliberately extended into Pakistan and both countries are treated as a single ‘battlefield’ called AfPak .This is laughable because one is war-torn and primitive while the other has a sophisticated civic society .The purpose is to enable American forces to strike into Pakistan.</p>
<p>* Wave after wave of callous and imprecise drone attacks murdering innocent civilians and riling up the Pakistani public who despair at their feckless government for being complicit in continual violations of the nation’s sovereignty and dignity.</p>
<p>* The never-ending American pressure for Pakistan to “DO MORE!” Though no nation has done or sacrificed more to combat terrorism in its own self-interest. The number of soldiers martyred, wealth spent and tears of widows and orphans shed remain testimony to the truth that those who claim that Pakistan is half-hearted in this effort are liars.</p>
<p>* The CIA-sponsored democratic farce whereby American engineered its puppets to seize the reigns in Pakistan’s recent elections. For those who still deny that the Pakistani elections were engineered, think for a moment how is it possible that the most corrupt and despised man in Pakistan’s entire history, Asif Zardari would become the president of Pakistan if the elections were truly and fairly democratic?</p>
<p>* Even though our ‘popularly elected’ politicians are in the pocket of the Americans, they remain frustrated that certain institutions in Pakistan remain out of their reach. The black propaganda targeting Pakistan’s patriotic armed forces, intelligence services and nuclear weapons arsenal reveals their obvious intent. Well aware that these are the only institutions that truly have Pakistan’s interests at heart, the public do not appreciate the Am-Brit campaign to malign them.</p>
<p>* The exposure of blatant double-standards is evident as America turns on the weapons tap for India, whom it wishes to turn into its 21st century ’slave soldier’ in order to counter China, while Pakistani officials are left dangling and must debase and humiliate themselves in order to ensure the delivery of a trifling number of F-16’s and helicopters to fight the same enemies that America is sponsoring.</p>
<p>* The CIA shield, protect and nurture anti-Pakistan insurgent groups on Pakistani soil. The so-called ‘Baluchistan Liberation Army and ‘Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan’ are only a few of many of these groups base their insidious operations from inside US occupied Afghanistan.</p>
<p>The pockets of resistance demonstrate the existence of an honorable people who are not prepared to compromise on their dignity. The recent polling is cause for great hope. It proves what was never in doubt – the Pakistani population will not stand for these US violations of Pakistan’s sovereignty and national interest for much longer.</p>
<p>We know that we fear Allah more than we fear America, but the nation must now realize another profound truth – salvation does not lie in continued cooperation and debasement in front of America, but only in faith in Allah and is His Messenger (SAW). It is time for this nation to throw off its shackles and re-declare its independence.</p>
<p>Recently, in the officer&#8217;s mess in Bajaur, the northern tribal region where the Pakistani Army is tied down fighting the militants, one officer told a visiting journalist that” Osama bin Laden does not exist”.</p>
<p>Explaining the American involvement in Swat Valley in last April columnist Bill Van Auken wrote in the website WSW on 16 September that;</p>
<p>There is mounting evidence that the Pentagon and the CIA are engaged in a war against the population of the region involving death squads, disappearances and torture. Swat Valley, near Afghanistan’s eastern border, provides a gruesome indication of the kind of war that the Pentagon and its local allies are waging.</p>
<p>The Pakistani army offensive in Swat Valley, carried out on the direct and highly public insistence of US envoy Richard Holbrooke, and senior American military officers, unleashed a humanitarian catastrophe. In what amounted to a massive exercise in collective punishment, many civilians were killed or wounded and some 2.5 million people were driven from their homes.</p>
<p>Now, the Pakistani military continues to occupy the area, carrying out a reign of terror in which individuals identified as opponents of the government and the US occupation across the border are being picked up and tortured to death.</p>
<p>New York Times stated on 15 September 2009 that with the military occupation of the Swat Valley “a new campaign of fear has taken hold, with scores, perhaps hundreds, of bodies dumped on the streets in what human rights advocates and local residents say is the work of the military.”</p>
<p>In addition to bearing marks of brutal torture, many of the bodies are discovered with their hands tied behind their backs and with a bullet in the back of the neck. In some cases, corpses have been beheaded. American officials have praised the Pakistani military for its campaign in the Swat Valley, with US Ambassador Anne Patterson visiting Mingora, Swat’s largest town, to congratulate the army.</p>
<p>Now the Pakistani government replicates this bloody campaign in South Waziristan. A similar offensive is already underway in the Khyber Agency, site of the Khyber Pass, a key route for supplies to the US occupation force in Afghanistan.UN officials report that 100,000 people have been displaced by the attack.</p>
<p>There is every reason to suspect that the wave of disappearances, torture and death squad assassinations in Pakistan are also “made in the USA”. US Special Forces “trainers” are operating on Pakistani soil, instructing Pakistani forces in the kind of tactics that yield the bound and battered bodies dumped in the streets of Swat.</p>
<p>Indian design to destabilize and, perhaps, further divide Pakistan</p>
<p>It is common knowledge that India wanted to destabilize and partition Pakistan from the day it came into being in 1947. India played a crucial role in breaking up Pakistan and creating Bangladesh in its eastern wing facilitated by the blunders of the Pakistani’s ruling elite.</p>
<p>India, hand in glove with American installed Hamid Karzai’s puppet regime, has 14 consulates in Afghanistan from which RAW operates and the US has turned a blind eye. Pakistan has stockpiles of evidence against Indian consulates in Afghanistan used to fund terrorism in Pakistan through Baitullah Mehsud’s TTP as well as Brahamdagh Bugti and his Baluch Liberation Army-BLA.</p>
<p>According to DAWN, a dossier containing proof of India’s involvement in “subversive activities” in Pakistan was handed over by Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh during their meeting at Sharm el-Sheikh in July 2009.The dossier, broadly covering the Indian connection in terror financing in Pakistan, is also said to list the safe houses being run by RAW in Afghanistan where terrorists are trained and launched for missions in Pakistan.</p>
<p>The dossier also mentions an India-funded training camp in Kandahar where Baluch insurgents, particularly those from Bugti clan, were being trained and provided arms and ammunition for sabotage activities in the Pakistani province. Although the information given to India is being kept highly secret, broad outlines of the dossier available with Dawn reveal details of Indian contacts with those involved in attacks on the Sri Lankan cricket team and the Manawan police station,” the newspaper said.</p>
<p>“Operatives of RAW who remained in touch with the perpetrators of the attacks have been identified and proof of their interaction has been attached,” it added.</p>
<p>A description of Indian arms and explosives used in the attack on the Sri Lankan team has been made part of the dossier, besides which the names and particulars of the perpetrators, who illegally entered Pakistan from India and joined their accomplices who had reached Lahore from Waziristan, have been mentioned, the report said.</p>
<p>Here is what Christine Fair of RAND Corporation had to say about what the Indian consulates are up to in Afghanistan and Iran:</p>
<p>“I think it would be a mistake to completely disregard Pakistan’s regional perceptions due to doubts about Indian competence in executing covert operations. That misses the point entirely. In addition, I think it is unfair to dismiss the notion that Pakistan’s apprehensions about Afghanistan stem in part from its security competition with India. Having visited the Indian mission in Zahedan, Iran, I can assure you they are not issuing visas as the main activity! Moreover, India has run operations from its mission in Mazar (through which it supported the Northern Alliance) and is likely doing so from the other consulates it has reopened in Jalalabad and Qandahar along the border. Indian officials have told me privately that they are pumping money into Baluchistan. Kabul has encouraged India to engage in provocative activities such as using the Border Roads Organization to build sensitive parts of the Ring Road and use the Indo-Tibetan police force for security. It is also building schools on a sensitive part of the border in Kunar–across from Bajaur. Kabul’s motivations for encouraging these activities are as obvious as India’s interest in engaging in them. Even if by some act of miraculous diplomacy the territorial issues were to be resolved, Pakistan would remain an insecure state. Given the realities of the subcontinent (e.g., India’s rise and its more effective foreign relations with all of Pakistan’s near and far neighbors), these fears are bound to grow, not lessen. This suggests that without some means of compelling Pakistan to abandon its reliance upon militancy, it will become ever more interested in using it — and the militants will likely continue to proliferate beyond Pakistan’s control.”</p>
<p>Confirming the Indian support to TTP in Pakistan The Foreign Policy magazine said: “The Indians are up to their necks in supporting the Taliban against the Pakistani government in Afghanistan and Pakistan,” a former intelligence official who served in both countries said.</p>
<p>“The same anti-Pakistani forces in Afghanistan also shooting at American soldiers are getting support from India. India should close its diplomatic establishments in Afghanistan and get the Christ out of there.”</p>
<p>Afghan officials have also confirmed that India is using Afghanistan to stir trouble in Pakistan.“India is using Afghan soil to destabilize Pakistan and Afghan security agencies are unable to stop Indian intervention due to absence of centralized government mechanism”, said Afghan Government’s Advisor, Ehsanullah Aryanzai on sidelines of Pak-Afgan Parliamentary Jirga at a local hotel on April 2, 2009.</p>
<p>Pakistani Taleban using American, Nato, Indian and German weapons</p>
<p>An Islamabad datelined report by Akhtar Jamal Wednesday, 21 October 2009 stated that: Reports reaching here confirm that hundreds of militants from Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), and other associated groups are equipped with most sophisticated American, Indian and German weapons.</p>
<p>According to a survey the weapons in the possession of these militants included U.S. made M249 automatic machine guns, U.S.-made Glock pistols, Indian hand guns, FN Browning GP35 9mmx19mm, Indian automatic machine pistols GLOCK 17 9mmx19mm, Indian machine guns Heckler &#38; Koch MP5A3 9mmx19mm, Indian made Sterling L2A1 sub machine guns, Israeli licensed Indian made UZI 9mmx19mm sub machine guns and German Walther-P1 pistols.</p>
<p>During Swat operation, a number of the Indian army used Vickers-Berthier (VB) light machine guns were also recovered. The recoveries of Indian designed weapons were not astonishing for Pakistan. However, what was more surprising is that the U.S. and German weapons were recently introduced in the Waziristan area.</p>
<p>Ruling Elite</p>
<p>Pakistan’s ruling elite comprising the armed forces, bureaucracy, feudal landlords and capitalists never learnt any lesson. In fact, within a quarter century after Pakistan was created they created the conditions, exploited by India and other hostile forces, to create Bangladesh.</p>
<p>Columnist Ahmed Quraishi pointed out that “ fake democrats produce a fake democracy. This is what our westernized Pakistani elite and some of the self-styled ‘liberals’ in our media don’t understand. A Parliament filled with feudal lords who rape the women of the peasants on their lands and operate secret prisons, and then come to the Parliament in expensive shiny cars and jewelry thanks to political parties where another set of feudal run them as family grocery shops &#8211; this is no democracy.</p>
<p>Accusing main political parties and their leaderships of undermining the existence of Pakistan Dr. Hasan, co-founder of the Pakistan People’s Party with Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in 1967 said:” over the years, they have failed to understand that the state of Pakistan is unraveling. The administrative structure of the state is no longer capable of ensuring the performance of the basic duties of the state, mainly the protection of life, property and dignity of the people, dispensation of justice to all citizens as equals, semblance of equitability in the distribution of wealth and assuring a sense of belonging to the Balochs, Pashtuns, Sindhis and Punjabis that the Government at Islamabad is their Government.</p>
<p>The gulf between the rich and the poor has widened enormously. Ninety-eight per cent of the population is in a state of despair and frustration and has lost hope. The wealthy 2 per cent, armed with foreign passports and visas with huge wealth stashed abroad, are ready to leave the country any time.</p>
<p>The old grievances among the provinces of Sindh, Punjab, Balochistan and NWFP have reached all time high. Cooperation at the federal level has disappeared; complaints and prejudices have taken the place of patriotic fervor.</p>
<p>What had begun in the early years of Pakistan as grievances and complaints between East and West Pakistan, between the Bengalis and Punjabis, has now been replaced by tensions between Punjabis, Sindhis and Mohajirs and between independence-seeking Balochs and Pashtuns.The absence of cooperation between the provinces has snowballed, making Pakistan a fragile state.</p>
<p>It was under this unfortunate circumstance Asif Zardari was elected as President showing the depth to which the state assemblies had descended. Zardari is neither a politician nor a professional. He was known as the husband of assassinated prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, twice elected as prime minister and dismissed on both times on corruption charges. Zardari, better known as Mr. 10 Percent, has been accused of corruption, fraud, underworld links and even murder. Even after elected president, he was implicated in several scandals including an alleged submarine deal for Pakistan navy.</p>
<p>Eric S. Margolis, a contributing editor to the Toronto Sun chain of newspapers, said in an article that;</p>
<p>“Zardari has been dogged for decades by corruption charges. Washington seems unaware of the fury its crude, counter-productive policies have whipped up in Pakistan. The Obama administration listens to Washington-based pro-Israel neo-conservatives, military hawks, and “experts” who tell it what it wants to hear, not the facts. Pakistan’s military, the nation’s premier institution, is being pushed to the point of revolt. Against the backdrop of bombings and shootings, come rumors the heads of Pakistan’s armed forces and intelligence may be replaced. Pakistanis are calling for the removal of the Zardari regime’s strongman, Interior Minister Rehman Malik. The possibility of a military coup against the Zardari regime grows. However, Pakistan is dependent on US money, and fears India. Can its generals afford to break with patron Washington?</p>
<p>It was in this context one should view Zardari’s military onslaught on his own people to please President Obama who began drone attacks, almost immediately after he assumed office, violating Pakistan’s sovereignty, killing hundreds of innocent civilians in the footsteps of his predecessor George Bush.</p>
<p>In fact in a report presented to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday 26 October 2009 ,UN Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Executions Philip Alston described US drone strikes against suspected terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan may well violate international humanitarian law and international human rights law.</p>
<p>” My concern is that these attacks in Afghanistan and northwestern Pakistan have often resulted in civilian deaths and drawn bitter criticism from local populations. Since August 2008, around 70 strikes by unmanned aircraft have killed close to 600 people in northwestern Pakistan,” said Philip Alston.</p>
<p>Meanwhile after Pakistan launched its military strike there were several deadly bomb explosions including the one on the International Islamic University in Islamabad and the market place in Peshawar.</p>
<p>Taleban denied responsibility. However, analysts were quick to accuse the notorious US security firm Blackwater, known for its heinous crimes &#8211; rape, torture and bombings &#8211; in Iraq and Afghanistan, perhaps aimed at putting the government and the so-called Taleban against each other.</p>
<p>Erik Prince, the founder and the boss of Blackwater ,world&#8217;s most powerful mercenary army, accused in court papers of seeking to wipe out Muslims, views himself as a Christian crusader tasked with eliminating Muslims and the Islamic faith from the planet, according to a former employee. These Blackwater mercenaries are in Pakistan and the question is why did the Pakistani government allow them into the country?</p>
<p>In the midst, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in Pakistan on a stormy three days visit on Wednesday 28 October 2009 to convey the Obama administration&#8217;s support, praise the Pakistani government for its military offensive, and tackle rising anti-US feelings among the Pakistani people.</p>
<p>She was greeted with a sophisticated bomb in busy Meena Bazar market in Peshawar killing more than 107 people- most of them innocent women and children. Taleban denied. So the question is who planted such a sophisticated bomb?</p>
<p>She faced sharp rebukes from Pakistani citizens and journalist on the third day of her visit when a woman who chastised the US stating, “Using aerial drones to target terrorists amounted to &#8220;executions without trial.&#8221; while another journalist said “we’ve been fighting your war”.</p>
<p>US appeared to be trying to push the government go beyond South Waziristan when she warned,” after South Waziristan, the Pakistanis will have to go on to root out other terrorist groups”. She never spoke a word about the devastating impact on the entire civilian population in South Waziristan forced to flee for their lives as villages and towns were literally being bombed into rubble.</p>
<p>The question is what next? Will Pakistan be next Iraq? How far the Pakistani government could go in killing its own people to please US?</p>
<p>It appears a poem by Khalil Gibran written in 1934, and now in circulation in e-mails, suit Pakistan’s current dilemma?</p>
<p>Pity the nation that raises not its voice<br />
save when it walks in a funeral,<br />
boasts not except among its ruins,<br />
and will rebel not save when its neck is laid<br />
between the sword and the block.</p>
<p>Pity the nation whose statesman is a fox,<br />
whose philosopher is a juggler,<br />
and whose art is the art of patching and mimicking.</p>
<p>Pity the nation that welcomes its new ruler with trumpeting,<br />
and farewells him with hooting,<br />
only to welcome another with trumpeting again.</p>
<p>Pity the nation whose sages are dumb with years<br />
and whose strong men are yet in the cradle.<br />
Pity the nation divided into fragments,<br />
each fragment deeming itself a nation.</p>
