  • ISIS Started By US Saudi Arabia Documents

    The US created the Taliban in order to drive Russia away and Saudi Arabia also played its part.

    Then came Al Qaeda, an offshoot of that move.

    Now it transpires that US , with Saudi Arabia has again created IS  to ferment trouble in Syria and IS has now become to haunt the world like Al Qaeda.

    US, more menacing than Pakistan in the creation of Terrorism.

    The Documents Government prove this.

    The Islamic State first gained their ground in Syria, where Senator John McCain visited them and had his now famous photo [above] taken with their leader. He later called them “freedom fighters” and asked Congress to give them financial support and arms. But the real support for this group came from Saudi Arabia — and continues to come from this oil rich country..

     

    The former employee at US National Security Agency (NSA), Edward Snowden, has revealed that the British and American intelligence and the Mossad worked together to create the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

    Snowden said intelligence services of three countries created a terrorist organisation that is able to attract all extremists of the world to one place, using a strategy called “the hornet’s nest”. NSA documents refer to recent implementation of the hornet’s nest to protect the Zionist entity by creating religious and Islamic slogans.

    According to documents released by Snowden, “The only solution for the protection of the Jewish state ‘is to create an enemy near its borders’”. Leaks revealed that ISIS leader and cleric Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi [above] took intensive military training for a whole year in the hands of Mossad, besides courses in theology and the art of speech.

    It started slowly with the collapse of the U.S.-trained and U.S.-supplied Iraqi army in Mosul and other northern Iraqi cities in the face of attacks by ISIS.  In mid-June, the aircraft carrier USS H.W. Bush with more than 100 planes was dispatched to the Persian Gulf and the president sent in hundreds of troops, including Special Forces advisers (though officially no “boots” were to be “on the ground”).  He also agreed todrone and other air surveillance of the regions ISIS had taken, clearly preparation for future bombing campaigns.  All of this was happening before the fate of the Yazidis — a small religious sect whose communities in northern Iraq were brutally destroyed by ISIS fighters — officially triggered the commencement of a limited bombing campaign suitable to a “humanitarian crisis.”

    When ISIS, bolstered by U.S. heavy weaponry captured from the Iraqi military, began to crush the Kurdish pesh merga militia, threatening the capital of the Kurdish region of Iraq and taking the enormous Mosul Dam, the bombing widened. More troops and advisers were sent in, and weaponry began to flow to the Kurds, with promises of all of the above further south once a new unity government was formed in Baghdad.  The president explained this bombing expansion by citing the threat of ISIS blowing up the Mosul Dam and flooding downriver communities”

  • CIA Confirms Torture of Detainees.

    This is the message of the CIA Director  ,while commenting on the Osma Bin laden Film ‘“Zero Dark Thirty.

    He said he ‘was unhappy’

    Guantanamo  Torture
    Guantanamo Torture

     

    “In a message to Central Intelligence Agency employees Friday, he said that the movie “creates the strong impression that the enhanced interrogation techniques that were part of our former detention and interrogation program were the key to finding bin Laden. That impression is false.”…

     

    Wait, what follows is important,

    ” “some” of the information “came from detainees subjected to enhanced techniques. But there were many other sources as well.”

    This is as much as a CIA  Acting Director,can admit in Public.

    Story:

    Acting CIA director Michael Morell said that “Zero Dark Thirty,” the Hollywood take on the hunt for Osama bin Laden, exaggerates the importance of information obtained by harsh interrogations.

    The movie by Academy Award-winning director Kathryn Bigelow tells the story of the decade-long search after September 11, 2001, climaxing in last year’s dramatic and deadly raid in May on the Al-Qaeda terror leader’s hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan

    The film shows US personnel using harsh interrogation techniques like water-boarding — a method many consider torture — to force captives to speak. The information obtained was crucial, according to the movie, in piecing together the trail that eventually lead to bin Laden….

    Morell’s message, released to AFP, states that “multiple streams of intelligence” led CIA analysts to conclude that bin Laden was hiding in Abbottabad….

    Morell’s message also follows a similar statement decrying the “Zero Dark Thirty” interrogation scenes signed by three senators, including Republican John McCain, himself a prisoner of war and torture victim during the Vietnam war.

    On January 22, 2002, The U.S. Department of Justice issued a document to White House Counsel Alberto Gonzalez, and Department of Defense Counsel William J. Hynes on the “Application of Treaties and Laws to Al Qaeda and Taliban Detainees.” The document concluded that existing rules on detainees do not necessarily apply to Al Qaeda or Talibanmembers:

    “You have asked for our Office’s views concerning the effect of international treaties and federal laws on the treatment of individuals detained by the U.S. Armed Forces during the conflict in Afghanistan. In particular, you have asked whether certain treaies forming part of the laws of armed conflict apply to the conditions of detention and the procedures for trial of members of al Qaeda and the Taliban militia. We conclude that these treaties do not protect members of the al Qaeda organization, which as a non-State actor cannot be a party to the international agreements governing war. We durther conclude that the President has sufficient grounds to find that these treaties do not protect members of the Taliban militia. This memorandum expresses no view as to whether the President should decided, as a matter of policy, that the U.S. Armed Forces should adhere to the standards of conduct in those treaties with respect to the treatment of prisoners.”

  • 5 Ridiculous Things You Probably Believe About Islam.(?)

    Kaaba at the heart of Mecca. As the night goes...
    Image via Wikipedia

     

    Some facts and explanations seem to be contrived.

    Story:

    If You’re a Muslim Woman, You Have to Wear the Veil

    For instance, in France they have about 3 million Muslim women. French police decided to figure out how many of them wore burqas and/or niqabs and found the number to be … 367.

    Not 367,000, but 367, a number so small that from a statistical point of view, it’s barely enough to register as a margin of error. As for the rest of Europe, the numbers are even more disastrous for the burqa business (for instance, Belgium has 500,000 Muslims, a couple dozen wear the burqa).

    Yes, there are Middle Eastern countries where the veils are required by law (namely Iran and Saudi Arabia) and combined those countries have less than 5 percent of the world’s Muslims. There are actually more Muslim countries that outright ban the wearing of the veils than there are that require them. They can do that because wearing a veil is not required in Islam but is more of a custom, depending on where you live and who’s in charge.

    Our Founding Fathers Would Never Have Tolerated This Muslim Nonsense!

    Even if they were staunch Christians (or deists, whatever), plenty of the Founding Fathers had a healthy admiration for the Muslim faith. Thomas Jefferson, for example, taught himself Arabic using his own copy of the Quran and hosted the first White House Iftar during Ramadan.


    Jefferson believed in celebrating the deliciousness of all world religions.

    John Adams hailed the Islamic prophet Muhammad as one of the great “inquirers after truth.Benjamin Rush, who was so Christian he wanted a Bible in every school, also said he would rather see the opinions of Confucius or Mohammad “inculcated upon our youth” than see them grow deprived “of a system of religious principles.” Benjamin Franklin once declared: “Even if the Mufti of Constantinople were to send a missionary to preach Mohammedanism to us, he would find a pulpit at his service.” Even George fucking Washington personally welcomed Muslims to come work for him at Mount Vernon.

    Another possible translation.

    “Muslim” Equals “Arab

    Remember that crazy lady with the Einstein hair who asked John McCain if Barack Obama was an Arab? No? Well, let us refresh your memory:


    The instant John McCain realized that he would never, ever be president.

    We’re willing to bet there’s more than a 20 percent chance this woman meant to say “Muslim” but accidentally said “Arab” because same thing, right? And even if you’re not in the tea party camp, where you’re convinced “Arab” and “Muslim” are interchangeable, you’ve probably operated under a similar assumption: that non-Jewish Middle Eastern people are Muslim and that most Muslims live in the Middle East.

    But actually…

    Only about 20 percent of the entire world’s Muslim population is Arab or North African. For comparison, about 22 percent of the global Christian population is African, yet when somebody says “Christian,” you don’t immediately picture a dude from Africa. Equating “Muslim” with “Arab” makes just as much sense.


    That’d be like associating “Kansas” with “hate-filled douchebags”.

    While we in the West have been conditioned to associate Islam with the Middle East, a whopping 61.9 percent of all Muslims — aka a supermajority — don’t live in the Middle East at all; most Muslims live in the Asia-Pacific region. Indonesia alone is home to more than 200 million Muslims, and the Indian subcontinent has roughly a half-billion Muslims.

    It works the other way, too. For example, if you think being Arab guarantees you being Muslim these days, well, we are sorry to disappoint. As much as 10 percent of the world’s Arab population is Christian (that’s more than 14 million people). That means there are 1 million more Arab Christians than, oh, we don’t know … the world’s entire Jewish population..

    Western Cultures Are Far More Humane Than the Bloodthirsty Muslims

    Even before the whole terrorism thing, Islam had a reputation in the West for violence. Part of it has to do with how abruptly Islam was all up in everyone’s face. For instance, while Hinduism took about 1,000 years to spread through India, and Christianity took about 400 years to go from persecuted cult to the state religion of the Roman Empire, Islam went from one guy’s epiphany to the dominant political and religious force in the Middle East and North Africa in about 100 years.

    So a lot of people have reached the conclusion that the religion spread like holy wildfire for one reason: the sword. The next logical leap from this viewpoint is that as a people, Muslims must be violent and barbaric conquerors. Even before 9/11, you saw this portrayal in popular culture all the time:

    But actually…

    Muhammad laid out some pretty progressive rules of warfare, and medieval Muslims out-niced the Christians in battle by a landslide. Especially since Muhammad personally issued “a distinct code of conduct among Islamic warriors” that included:

    • No killing of women, children or innocents — these might include hermits, monks or other religious leaders who were deemed noncombatants;
    • No wanton killing of livestock or other animals;
    • No burning or destruction of trees and orchards; and
    • No destruction of wells.


    And no kicking with cleats on, Jeremy.

    In short, Muhammad wanted his armies to fight like freaking hippies. During the fucking Dark Ages. And they did.

    But the biggest territorial gains were made after Muhammad’s death, right? Maybe that was when Islam earned its bloodthirsty reputation? Not exactly. His successor codified the existing rules and made them the standard for his army. Which probably explains why the Muslim army conquering Europe “exhibited a degree of toleration which puts many Christian nations to shame,” in the words of one expert.


    Plus, they built all sorts of nifty buildings.

    So while Christian crusaders were beheading enemies and tossing their heads like oversized hacky sacks, their Muslim counterparts had a whole honor code that led them to feed the armies of their defeated enemies.

    Islam Is Stuck in the Dark Ages

    There are really three big negative stereotypes about Islam — that it hates women, that it’s violent and that it hates any kind of scientific progress. We’ve covered the first two already, but how can you argue against the third? Their governments are based on ancient religious texts! And what diseases has Iran cured?


    You guys could at least take out herpes or something.

    But actually…

    In the same way that not all Christians are Young Earth Creationists, plenty of modern Muslims see room for interpretation in the Quran. In fact, 45 percent of American Muslims in one poll said they see evolution as “the best explanation for the origin of human life on Earth,” which isn’t so shabby, considering only 24 percent of evangelical Christians believed the same. The percentage of Muslims embracing the scientific explanation for the origin of life was about the same as Americans as a whole (48 percent).


    If they only knew how to communicate their views like we do …

    And historically, they have a hell of a track record. Science and math as we know it wouldn’t even exist without Islam. The Islamic Golden Age caused a revolution in virtually every field of human thought, during which they fucking invented algebra — and advanced everything from geography and exploration to the arts, architecture, philosophy, urban development, medicine and health.

    The Muslims actually came pretty damn close to sharing all this brilliance with the truly ass-backward kingdoms of Christian Europe, since the Islamic caliphates blanketed every country they conquered with schools, libraries, public works and the most comprehensive system of social welfare on the planet. In fact, the case has been made that if the caliphates succeeded in conquering all of Europe an Italian Renaissance would have been unnecessary.


    It would have saved us all a lot of dong-staring, too.

    So, there’s that.

     

     

  • Violent Rhetoric behind the attack on Giffords?-Video.

    Gabrielle Giffords

    Political violence is due to following reasons,

    -by a group who have an ideological back ground(intensity varies)

    -by a disgruntled individual who has a grouse against the Establishment/votary of a cause  which has affected the individual adversely.

    -by members of the same party/the other  party to upstage/eliminate the individual,

    -where corruption on a large-scale is involved.

    As far as this case is concerned , we need to await the inquiry.

    Ideological zealots have to be dealt with as a law and order problem as Al Qaeda,

    When taking a stand on controversial subjects, needless rhetoric has to be avoided as there always

    will  be some who are going to  be affected.Taking recourse  to rhetoric will have serious consequences.

    In India, empty rhetoric  on Language.Religion.States Reorganization has resulted in uncontrollable violence and loss of lives and the problem is yet unresolved.Take the case of Pakistan where rhetoric has pushed the country to the point of disintegration.

    As to parties’ upstaging one another ,members of the same party indulging in violence and corruption ,well..it is an occupational hazard of politicians.

    Story.

    It’s impossible to know this early what the motivations for the attack were. Was the alleged shooter — who has been identified as 22-year-old Tucsonan Jared Loughner — angry about immigration? Or perhaps another hot-button issue? YouTube videos ascribed to him bore the mark of mental illness — they were conspiratorial, unintelligible, espousing no particular cause — but no matter his mental state, his crime took place in an overheated political environment. Last March, at the height of the health care reform battle, Giffords’ office was vandalized. She mentioned in an MSNBC interview that a Sarah Palin graphic had depicted her district in the crosshair of a gun sight. “They’ve got to realize there are consequences to that,” she said. “The rhetoric is incredibly heated.” The corner next to her office had also become, she said, a popular spot for Tea Party protests.

    As Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik put it in an extraordinary and melancholic press conference after the shooting, “we have become the Mecca for prejudice and bigotry.” He added that he’s “not aware of any public officials who are not receiving threats.”

    Another shooting victim, a federal judge named John Roll, had been placed under 24-hour security in 2009 after ruling in favor of illegal immigrants in a high-profile case. It’s unclear why he was at the supermarket event. But for almost a year now, Arizona‘s leaders have been grappling with anti-immigration sentiments, inflamed by reports of crossborder violence. National media attention, with its attendant voices of hysteria, only added to the churn. Pundits spoke gravely about a wave of violence, born in Mexico and now flooding Arizona. Arizona’s two most famous politicians fueled the fury. Republican Senator John McCain, facing an unexpected reelection challenge from the right, ran a campaign obsessed with crossborder crime. And GOP Governor Jan Brewer, who invited the national spotlight by championing strict anti-illegal immigrant legislation, talked of beheadings in the desert.

    The only problem with all this talk about a massive crossborder crime wave is that it wasn’t true. Phoenix had not become one of the world’s kidnapping capitals. Crime rates in Arizona had been steady or even fallen in some areas. There had been no beheadings in the desert. There were plenty of deaths there, but they were pathetic and meek tragedies: impoverished border-crossers, abandoned by their heartless guides, dying of exposure and dehydration. (See the top 10 American political prodigies.)

    But the idea of a state under siege took hold. When I was on the border last year reporting on the murder of rancher Rob Krentz, I talked to many who sincerely believed that they were under attack. Krentz’s murder was a terrible event, but it was an isolated event. The relatively small number of home invasions, holdups and other crimes deeply disturbed border communities, but only because they had been living in such calm for so long. Their crime rates still don’t match most cities in the states.

    The supermarket meet-and-greet where Giffords was shot was actually a testimony to just how safe southern Arizona is. As a press release from her office last week put it, “‘Congress on Your Corner’ allows residents of Arizona’s 8th Congressional District to meet their congresswoman one-on-one and discuss with her any issue, concern or problem involving the federal government.” Not exactly the kind of event a politician would hold in a war zone.

    It’s true that Giffords was not a fan of the state’s anti-immigration bill SB1070, but there were higher-profile opponents, such as her fellow Congressional Representative in Tuscon, Raul Grijalva. Yet the idea that Arizona is under attack has been pushed hard enough that it’s very possible that the coward who shot her (in the head, according to a Tucson paper) believed that the 40-year-old Democrat, who had been tarred by some as soft on immigration because she didn’t support SB1070, was contributing to larger-scale violence against Arizonans. (Comment on this story.)

    If that is the case, it would only add to the tragedy. The fact is, that among all the overwrought promises and all the panic I heard last summer in Arizona, I found that Giffords was one of the few politicians offering concrete law enforcement steps that would actually work against the drug cartels and other smugglers. It’s not just that she fought for more money and police for border protection, although she did that. She co-sponsored legislation last year with a California Republican that aimed to give law enforcement important new tools in cracking down on the cash cards that were a favored methods of money-laundering. It was one of the many sensible, pragmatic ideas she had for cracking down on crime.

    Whatever dark fantasies drove someone to try to take her life, Giffords is a sensible politician who was likely shot because she dealt with Arizona’s reality, not its rumors.

    Related.

    The events allow constituents the chance for a one-on-one meeting with the Democrat. And, says Don Bivens, head of the state Democratic Party, they are one of the reasons Giffords has been able to win elections in a district that’s not Democratic.

    Giffords was fresh off a campaign victory — winning her swing district by just 2 percentage points last fall, when dozens of her conservative Democratic colleagues failed.

    “People know her. People knows she cares. She knows them,” says Bivens, who is a friend of the congresswoman.

    That Giffords was attacked in the act of public service made it all the more tragic, President Obama said Saturday.

    “Listening to the hopes and concerns of her neighbors — that is the essence of what our democracy is all about,” he said. “That is why this is more than a tragedy for those involved. It is a tragedy for Arizona and a tragedy for our entire country.”
