IDF, settlers brace for Migron's eviction

Settlers wait for final High Court decision on illegal West Bank outpost's eviction; IDF gears for possible violent resistance by residents

Barring a last-minute delay by the High Court of Justice, the eviction of the illegal West Bank outpost of Migron has been set for Tuesday and both the settlers and the defense establishment are gearing for it.

The court still has to rule on a petition filed by one-third of the outpost's residents, who claim they have legal ownership of the land.

• State: Migron must be evicted on time
• Ministers endorse Migron evacuation postponement
• Migron residents want to remain home

 
Meanwhile, defense establishment sources expressed concern over the possibility that the settlers might mount a violent resistance to the eviction.

The decision to pursue a forceful eviction will eventually be made by Defense Minister Ehud Barak, subject to an operational assessment by the GOC Central Command.

In order to ameliorate the volatile situation, four known extreme right-wing activist have been banned from the area, and Shin Bet officials have met with several of the settlers' leaders, urging compliance with authorities.

Defense establishment sources said that while the IDF does not expect the residents of Migron themselves to clash with troops, there are concerns that external, extreme elements will pursue violent resistance and "price tag" acts against nearby Arab villages and IDF bases.

Major-General Eitan Dangot, the coordinator of Government activities in the territories, has sent the 33 Migron families who have not contested the eviction order, a letter asking them to leave by outpost by Tuesday, in according to their agreement with the State.

Yesha Council Chairman Danny Dayan said that "While an eviction prior to the court's ruling might be perceived as a good will gesture, it is not mandatory and at the moment – it's unnecessary. We have to wait for the court's decision.

"We were surprised by Dangot's letter, but there is no cause for concern. Nothing will happen before Tuesday," he said.

Coalition Chairman MK Zeev Elkin urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Sunday to "rein in the legal system's clerks and prevent a clash."

Elkin maintained that "The decision to evict Migron stemmed from the claim that it was private land – but we cannot ignore the fact that the majority of the land was legally purchased (by the settlers).

"It makes no sense to evict Jews from lands they legally own. The position stated by the Ministerial Committee on Settlement – to delay the three-part eviction – is a reasonable one. The legal system's putsch in this matter is outrageous."

In the basement of a hotel in Istanbul, 30 people from around the world met in August to talk about how to translate the phrase "Son of God" and "God the Father" in Muslim contexts.Wycliffe Bible Translators and a close partner, Dallas-based SIL International, called the private gathering, which included its own translation staff as well as outside scholars. The issue on the table—translation of the familial titles for God and Jesus Christ—was one that has divided Wycliffe members and alarmed supporting churches and missions agencies—leading a few Wycliffe members to leave the organization and some churches to consider withdrawing their support.

Branches of the Same Tree: Overcoming Sectarian Divides Among MuslimsPosted: 08/15/2012 8:20 am -"Hold fast to the hope of God, all together, and be not divided." --Quran 3:103

"Islam is simple," the taxi driver explained to me as he drove me to the Center for Shariah Studies in Muscat, the capital of Oman in the southeastern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. "Basically, Islam is like a tree, and all of the various denominations are branches on the tree, they make up the entirety of the religion," he said. The driver's insightful comment introduced me to the beliefs of the Ibadi denomination in Islam, which represents a majority of Omani citizens and a small minority of Muslims worldwide.My recent journey to Oman brought new insights, offered both by erudite scholars of Islamic law as well as ordinary Omanis. Home to Ibadis, as well as Sunnis, small groups of several branches of Shiism and foreigners from various faith traditions, Oman represents a unique situation of relative interreligous harmony. In a time where intra- and inter-religious conflicts seem to dominate the headlines, Oman is a stable nation ruled by an absolute monarch, Sultan Qaboos. Perhaps partly due to the strict rule of the Sultan, Oman has seen little turmoil in recent years. Omanis are proud of their country's tolerant attitude toward religious minorities and although they like to differentiate themselves through their distinct Ibadi background, they consider any Muslim who prays toward the direction of Mecca to be a Muslim, no matter what their specific theological beliefs may be.
Oman represents a calm oasis in the midst of a cyclone of intra-Muslim ignorance and brutality. My time there stirred me to reflect on the disheartening situation of Muslims in the modern world and their futile struggle to create impenetrable boundaries based on superficial religious differences. While around the Muslim-majority world, Sunnis, Shiites, Ibadis and others have lived in relative calm and harmony for hundreds of years, recent political factors have kindled the flames of sectarian violence.Most Americans are aware of the sectarian violence in Iraq, where there have been countless cases of sectarian violence from both sides. In some areas of Iraq, it is dangerous to have an overtly Sunni or Shiite name in the wrong neighborhood and people must navigate parts Baghdad according to their sectarian identity. Shiite pilgrims walking on foot to the city of Karbala have been killed on a regular basis by suicide bombers and car bombs: the question is usually not if the attacks will happen, but when. Terrorists also have killed worshipers during Friday prayers at Sunni mosques, and there seems to be no end to these merciless assaults despite efforts at reconciliation by activists and clerics.In Afghanistan, Shiites mourning the death of Husayn were massacred by a man who allegedly belonged to a militant Sunni Pakistani terrorist organization. Saudi Arabia continues to treat its Shiite minority population as second class citizens, depriving them of the rights granted to the rest of its Muslim citizens and swiftly suppresses any protests against the government. The Sunni ruling family of nearby Bahrain continues to oppress the Shiite majority with the help of the other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, and the situation in Syria has devolved into a full-blown civil war with sectarian undertones. Even in Indonesia, far removed from the Middle East, Shiites have suffered verbal abuse and physical attacks by radical Sunni Muslims. Egypt, a country known more for its tolerant and welcoming environment has witnessed an increasing fear of Shiism, especially in reaction to the growing population of Iraqi refugees, many of whom are Shiites, as well as Egyptian converts to Shiism.Muslims in the West are not immune to the problem of intra-Muslim hostility and Sunnis and Shiites more often than not worship in separate communities. Conflict starts with the tongue and sometimes can end up with bloodshed: last March, the largest Shiite mosque in Belgium was firebombed and the Imam of the mosque killed in the fire, the alleged perpetrator is said to have been a radical Sunni Muslim. While Muslims often come together to respond to rampant Islamophobia, most Americans are unaware that Muslims have internal disputes and lack unity on many other issues. Many Muslims are involved in interfaith dialogue, yet some of these same people might be reluctant to involve themselves in intra-Muslim dialogue, unable to accept other Muslims who hold differing beliefs. It would appear that interfaith engagement is -- at times -- less threatening than intrafaith engagement.In the U.S., it is not uncommon to find mosques with constitutions that stipulate potential members be Sunni and follow one of the four Sunni schools of law to join the mosque as a member. While they most probably would not turn away a Shiite worshiper, the anti-Shiite attitude that is prevalent in the majority of mosques often makes non-Sunnis feel unwelcome. Moreover, mosques often demarcate their communities by ethnicity, spiritual inclinations, political affiliations and other identity markers, causing further unnecessary separation between Muslims of varying backgrounds.Much of the intra-Muslim discrimination that takes place in the Muslim community is not obvious to outsiders and few people are wiling to discuss this issue in public out of fear of reproach from within the community. Some young people are warned by their parents to only consider spouses from the same denominations. Young Sunnis and Shiites do fall in love and get married, navigating the challenges to raise their children between their different understandings of Islam. Some Sunnis refuse to pray behind a Shiite prayer leader (imam) as they consider Shiite prayer and ablution methods to be invalid; and some Shiites will not pray behind Sunnis for the same reasons.Of course, there are many exceptions, and Muslims who are aware of the nuances of Islamic law and those who are more concerned with unity than sectarian strife consistently make an effort to reach out to their fellow Muslims from different backgrounds. There are a handful of mosques and Islamic centers that explicitly cater to Muslims from all backgrounds, regardless of their ethnic, political or sectarian affiliation, such as the Islamic Center of Southern California, whose ideology specifically states: "Sect, school of thought, are a matter of personal preference, not a community policy." One can only pray that other mosques develop similar attitudes toward the creation of a pluralistic community and the ability to accept difference. Most Muslim Student Associations (MSA) at university campuses around the country cater primarily to Sunni students, but a few of the more inclusive MSAs have made laudable efforts to fully engage with students and community members from diverse backgrounds.The first step to combating this problem -- at least in America -- is through education and by spreading awareness about the dangers of disunity, as it states in the Quran:
Surely, those who have made divisions in their religion and turned into factions, you have nothing to do with them. Their case rests with God; then He will inform them of what they used to do (Quran, 6:159).While Muslims from diverse backgrounds might want to participate in certain rituals within their specific community, there is no reason why they cannot also come together to pray and socialize at the same mosques and Islamic centers, and perhaps even join in certain rituals and celebrations together.While Sunnis and Shiites may never be able to agree on the fine points of theology, they should be able to learn how to coexist with each other and to join forces to create a unified, stronger community. Many initiatives have been undertaken by Muslims, specifically scholars, to encourage intra-Muslim dialogue and tolerance, such as the 2004 Amman Message -- signed by the most prominent contemporary Muslim scholars from around the world -- which explicitly states that eight branches of Islam are legitimate denominations in Islam. Most importantly, the statement emphasizes the impermissibility of accusing other Muslims of being heretics, an act that is often encouraged and practiced by hate-mongering clerics and Internet "scholars" who train under the "renowned" Shaykh Google.Other initiatives that could kindle friendships between Muslims of various backgrounds would be to coordinate intra-Muslim service projects similar to interfaith initiatives, such as Interfaith Youth Core. These initiatives could bring together Muslims from various mosques in a community to work together on issues that matter, where they could focus on building relationships and helping others. Building friendships and working together could help Muslims of different backgrounds to humanize their fellow Muslims and to overcome the stereotypes and misinformation they have been given.Although the situation is incredibly complex, many journalists oversimplify the growing tensions between Sunnis and Shiites as an eternal battle between sworn enemies. Each instance of sectarian clashes we witness around the world is unique and in many cases, religion is not usually the primary motivating factor. What is clear is that now is not the time for Muslims to be fighting one another. It is high time that we become more accepting of those we disagree with and acknowledge that all those who identify themselves as Muslim are already included in the vast and merciful embrace of Islam. Most importantly, we have no right to judge them. I pray for a time when Muslims can grow together as branches on one tree to ensure that the core message of Islam -- that of unity, pluralism and compassion -- is embodied by Muslims in their dealings with both Muslims and non-Muslims.

Islam a Religion of Peace? Actions Say Otherwise.

By W.A. BeattyAt the 3:40 point of this AT video entitled "Obama Promoting Islam," President Barack Hussein "kill list" Obama says, "Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism; it is an important part of promoting peace." Saying "that Islam embodied a religion of peace, fairness and tolerance," Obama then commented "that the religion was being 'distorted' by a few extremists."  He made that statement in Mumbai, India, on November 7, 2010, at St. Xavier's College.  In the irony department, St. Xavier's College is a short distance from Chhatrapati Shivaji railroad terminal, where, in November 2008, Islamic terrorists killed 173 people and injured 308 people. When asked by a St. Xavier's student, "What is your take or opinion about jihad?"  Obama stumbled (I guess he was sans teleprompter), then continued, "Well..."  Then he paused.  "You know, uh..."  He paused again, then, leaning on a  cliché about the "Great Religions of the World, " said:

The phrase jihad has a lot of meaning within Islam and is subject to a lot of different interpretations, but I will say that first Islam is one of the world's great religions.  More than a billion people practise [sic] Islam and an overwhelming majority view their obligations to a religion that reaffirms peace, fairness, tolerance.  I think all of us recognise [sic] that this great religion in the hands of a few extremists has been distorted by violence.

Further, Ethel C. Fenig said at AT in September 2009, in her article, "Islam, a religion of peace?": "While President Barack Obama (D) was busy praising Islam as a religion of peace worthy of "mutual interest and mutual respect" to foster engagement at a dinner in honor of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan[.]"
There can be little doubt that Obama considers Islam a religion of peace.So, with Obama's thoughts and actions as a backdrop, let's see what leaders of Islam have said and done lately:

• In April 2010, in the United Kingdom, Anjem Choudary, an Islamic radical, said, "You can't say that Islam is a religion of peace, because Islam does not mean peace. Islam means submission. So the Muslim is one who submits. There is a place for violence in Islam. There is a place for jihad in Islam." He also said, "The Koran is full of, you know, jihad is the most talked about duty in the Koran other than tawhid - belief. Nothing else is mentioned more than the topic of fighting." Choudary, by the way, has also praised the 9/11 attackers.
• In August 2012, Hamas leader Sheik Ahmad Bahr, on Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV, said, "... if the enemy sets foot on a single square inch of Islamic land, Jihad becomes an individual duty incumbent upon every Muslim, male or female." Bahr continued, "Oh, Allah, destroy the Jews and their supporters, and the Americans and their supporters. Oh, Allah, count them one by one, and kill them all, without leaving a single one."
• The Holy Month of Ramadan began on the evening of Thursday, July 19, 2012, and ended on the evening of Saturday, August 18, 2012. It was a time for Muslims to purify their souls, refocus their attention on God, and practice self-sacrifice. Muslims worldwide spend their daylight hours fasting, and were supposed to re-evaluate their lives in light of Islamic guidance, to refrain (sawm) from evil actions.

That having been said, let's look at what actually happened during Ramadan.  There have been 404 deaths in Iraq during Ramadan.  "There has been at least one bombing or shooting on every day of the holy month but one."  At least 54 people were killed in Baghdad, Iraq, in a series of attacks on Thursday, during the four-day Eid al-Fitr holiday, which comes at the end of Ramadan.
We can, therefore, conclude that killing is not, in Islam, an evil action, and is in accordance with Islamic guidance.

• On August 18, 2012, in Sanaa, Yemen, at least 20 people died as al-Qaeda was suspected of attacking a Yemeni intelligence headquarters building. That coordinated attack came on the last day of Ramadan.

But let's be fair, as Obama likes to say.  George W. Bush, while he was president, also said that Islam is a religion of peace.  In November 2002, Bush said, "Islam, as practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion, a religion that respects others."Islam may, indeed, be a peaceful religion, but recent actions suggest otherwise.  If there are billions of peaceful Muslims, then they had better clean up Islam's act.  And they had better act immediately.

SODOMY ALLOWED IN ISLAM TO MURDER PEOPLE.ARE THEY SICK IN THE HEAD.THIS CULT ISLAM.

Sodomy ‘For the Sake of Islam’

Posted by Raymond Ibrahim Bio ↓ on Jul 13th, 2012 

Abdullah Hassan al-Asiri

Originally published by the Gatestone Institute.
Not only did the original “underwear bomber” Abdullah Hassan al-Asiri hide explosives in his rectum to assassinate Saudi Prince Muhammad bin Nayef—they met in 2009 after the 22-year-old Asiri “feigned repentance for his jihadi views“—but this “holy-warrior” apparently had fellow jihadists repeatedly sodomize him to “widen” his anus to fit the explosives—and all in accordance with the fatwas of Islamic clerics.A 2010 Arabic news video that aired on Fadak TV gives the details. Apparently a cleric, one Abu al-Dema al-Qasab, informed al-Asiri and other jihadis of an “innovative and unprecedented way to execute martyrdom operations: place explosive capsules in your anus. However, to undertake this jihadi approach you must agree to be sodomized for a while to widen your anus so it can hold the explosives.”Others inquired further by asking for formal fatwas. Citing his desire for “martyrdom and the virgins of paradise,” one jihadi (possibly al-Asiri himself) asked another sheikh, “Is it permissible for me to let one of the jihadi brothers sodomize me to widen my anus if the intention is good?” After praising Allah, the sheikh’s fatwa began by declaring that sodomy is forbidden in Islam,

However, jihad comes first, for it is the pinnacle of Islam, and if the pinnacle of Islam can only be achieved through sodomy, then there is no wrong in it. For the overarching rule of [Islamic] jurisprudence asserts that ‘necessity makes permissible the prohibited.’ And if obligatory matters can only be achieved by performing the prohibited, then it becomes obligatory to perform the prohibited, and there is no greater duty than jihad. After he sodomizes you, you must ask Allah for forgiveness and praise him all the more. And know that Allah will reward the jihadis on the Day of Resurrection, according to their intentions—and your intention, Allah willing, is for the victory of Islam, and we ask that Allah accept it of you.

Two important and complementary points emerge from this matter: 1) that jihad is the “pinnacle” of Islam—for it makes Islam supreme (based on a Muhammad hadith); and 2) that “necessity makes permissible the prohibited.” These axioms are not limited to modern day fatwas, but in fact, were crystallized centuries ago, agreed to by the ulema, or Islam’s leading doctrinaires.

Lieberman: No Way Can Israel Accept a Nuclear Iran

Foreign Minister Lieberman criticizes decision makers from the past decade, says they failed to take steps to stop Iran.By Elad Benari, Canada First Publish: 8/24/2012, 9:44 PM

Avigdor Lieberman

Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman criticized on Friday the decision makers from the past decade, saying they failed to adopt the necessary policy and thus allowed the Iranians to reach the capabilities they have today."I talked about this back in 2001, when the Iranian nuclear facilities were not underground and scattered as they are now,” Lieberman said in a special interview with Channel 2 News. “I was exposed to this issue for the first time in 1996, when I was Director-General of the Prime Minister's Office. In 2001, we knew they were planning to move all their nuclear facilities underground and spread them out, but the decisions as they should have been made were not made.Lieberman refused to directly answer the question of whether he was among the ministers who support an attack on Iran, but stressed that he views the current situation as being very serious.“As someone who has been engaged with this issue for many years, I can say that, according to intelligence information, Israel cannot live with a nuclear Iran,” he said, adding, “Whoever makes light of this situation and brings, as an example, the fact that Pakistan, India and North Korea are nuclear - does not know what he's talking about. There is no way that the State of Israel can accept a nuclear Iran.”Lieberman pointed a finger at his partners in the government and the coalition who he said are talking too much about an attack on Iran.“Some people are discussing this issue without having intelligence information,” he said. “I think that this chatter is destructive and reduces our deterrence.”On Thursday it was reported that Iran has accelerated its activities at the Fordo underground nuclear site near Qom.The information, revealed by international diplomats, comes several days before the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog agency, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is set to publish a new report on Iran’s nuclear program. According to the diplomats, the report will say that Iran has installed new centrifuges at the Fordo uranium enrichment facility.Strategic Affair Minister Moshe Ya’alon on Thursday placed the responsibility on the United States if the Islamic Republic realizes its nuclear ambitions.“History will judge whether the United States stood in the face of the Shiite threat and prevented the Iranian military nuclear capability in time,” Ya’alon said during a forum at the Gordon College of Education in Haifa. “A Middle East with a nuclear Iran is a Middle East with nuclear chaos.”Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met Friday with U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), who is visiting the Middle East and told him, "Just yesterday, we received additional proof of the fact that Iran is continuing to make accelerated progress toward achieving nuclear weapons while totally ignoring international demands."(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

New Image Suggests More Suspicious Activity at Parchin

ISIS exposes new satellite imagery which suggests that additional suspicious activity may be occurring at the Parchin site in Iran.By Elad Benari, Canada First Publish: 8/25/2012, 12:52 AM

A new satellite image suggests that additional suspicious activity may be occurring at the Parchin site in Iran, according to a Friday report by the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS).The new GeoEye image dated August 15, 2012 shows that additional suspicious activity may be occurring at a building suspected of housing high explosive experiments related to the development of nuclear weapons and at an adjacent, northern building that may have also hosted suspect activities.ISIS noted that the new image shows what appears to be pink tent-like material over the two buildings, citing an article which concurrently reported that “diplomatic sources said the building believed to be housing an explosives chamber - if it is still there - had been ‘wrapped’ with scaffolding and tarpaulin, hiding any sanitization or other activity there from satellite cameras.”In an August 1, 2012 report, ISIS assessed that apparent cleanup activities at Parchin were complete, because imagery showed what appeared to be the final result of considerable sanitization and earth displacement activity. The latest satellite imagery clearly shows the suspected high explosive test building covered in a pink-colored material. A comparison with previous satellite images of the building, ISIS noted, shows that the size of the now covered building has visibly increased, especially in its height. In consultation with experts ISIS said it believes that the covering tarp is supported underneath by scaffolding which would account for the increase in size as well as for the horizontal lines appearing under the tarp.
Similar activities appear to be taking place at the northernmost building at the site, the report added. Currently only part of the roof appears covered by the pink-colored tarp; however, similarly colored material is visible on the ground next to the building suggesting that it may soon be covered.The purpose of covering the buildings could be to conceal further cleanup activity from overhead satellites or to contain the activity inside, the report noted. Depending on how effective of a seal the tarp provides, the goal could be continue sanitizing the inside and outside of the building that is suspected to contain particles indicative of nuclear weapons development work. Alternatively, ISIS said, tarps could provide a cover for the demolition of the buildings, or portions of them, while also containing the spread of potentially contaminated debris.A June report by ISIS indicated that Iran is continuing its suspected clean-up activity at the Parchin military complex.
ISIS presented satellite imagery from June 7, 2012, which shows continued activity at the site. The image shows heavy machinery tracks and earth displacement throughout the site. Satellite images taken at the end of May and exposed by ISIS confirmed the destruction of two buildings that inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have sought access to.Iran has refused to allow IAEA inspectors access to Parchin. Another round of talks in Vienna between the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog agency and Iran on an agreement which would see the IAEA entering sites of suspected nuclear activity in Iran ended without progress on Friday.International diplomats said Thursday that Iran has accelerated its activities at the Fordo underground nuclear facility near Qom.The information revealed by the diplomats came several days before the IAEA is to publish a new report on Iran’s nuclear program. According to the diplomats, the report will say that Iran has installed new centrifuges at the Fordo uranium enrichment facility.(Arutz Sheva’s North American Desk is keeping you updated until the start of Shabbat in New York.

Syrian rebels set free a kidnapped Lebanese

By BASSEM MROUE | Associated Press – 1 hr 29 mins ago AUG 25,12

BEIRUT (AP) — Syrian rebels freed one of 11 Lebanese Shiite pilgrims they have been holding for three months on Saturday, in a move aiming to ease cross-border tensions after a wave of abductions of Syrian citizens in Lebanon.Hussein Ali Omar, 60, appeared healthy in an interview aired on Qatar's Al-Jazeera TV as he crossed into Turkey after his release, urging the Lebanese and Arabs to support the Syrian people in the midst of their country's escalating civil war.The release came a week after Lebanese tribesmen kidnapped two Turks and more than 20 Syrians to force the rebels to release Lebanese citizen Hassane al-Mikdad, who the rebels captured near the Syrian capital of Damascus and accused of being a member of Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group. The al-Mikdad clan, which later released most of the Syrians it was holding except for four, is a powerful Shiite Muslim family in Lebanon.The Shiite pilgrims were abducted May 22 after crossing into Syria from Turkey on their way to Lebanon. A previously unheard of group calling itself "Syrian Rebels in Aleppo" claimed responsibility.The group demanded that the Hezbollah leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, apologize for his comments in support of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Nasrallah, an ally of Assad's regime, has said the abduction would not change his group's stance.Mohammed Nour, a rebel spokesman in the Syrian northern town of Azaz, said in a statement read on TV that the release was in response to a request by Lebanon's Association of Muslim Scholars and an adviser to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Nour did not say what they will do with the remaining 10 pilgrims but repeated his call for Hezbollah to "specify their stance regarding the Syrian people and revolution."
Syria's 18-month crisis has spilled over into neighboring Lebanon, where pro- and anti-Syrian group have clashed since Monday in the northern city of Tripoli. The latest violence in Tripoli killed at least 17 and wounded more than a 100 wounded.In Syria, activists reported clashes between rebels and government troops and well as shelling in different areas including the northern province of Aleppo, the district of Idlib, the eastern region of Deir el-Zour and Daraa in the south. The activists also reported violence in some suburbs of the capital, Damascus, including Daraya which government troops entered on Thursday.

State-run news agency SANA reported heavy clashes in the northern city of Aleppo, Syria's largest, saying that "many terrorists" were killed or wounded.The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said clashes in the eastern town of al-Bukamal, which borders Iraq, were concentrated near an air defense base. Al-Bukamal is in the oil-rich province of Deir el-Zour.The Observatory said 109 people were killed in Daraya alone over the past four days as a result of clashes and violence.The Local Coordination Committees, another activist group, said army helicopter gunships attacked the town of Qusair in the central province of Homs.Activists say that more than 20,000 people have been killed since the country's crisis began in March last year.Earlier Saturday, the head of a team of United Nations observers tasked to monitor a cease-fire in Syria that failed left Damascus. Lt. Gen. Babacar Gaye gave no statement before leaving for Lebanon.The mission ended last Sunday but Gaye stayed for meetings. The U.N. Security Council has agreed to back a small new liaison office to support future peace efforts.The observers' deployment in April was one of the only concrete achievements in Special Envoy Kofi Annan's attempts to halt the country's escalating civil war. They had intended to supervise a truce that never took hold.Annan abandoned the job earlier this month and was replaced by veteran Algerian diplomat and former U.N. envoy to Afghanistan and Iraq Lakhdar Brahimi.Brahimi hinted Friday at the immense challenges he faces trying to negotiate an end to the war, saying the mission left him "flattered, humbled and scared."

Hamas team headed to Egypt for security talks

AFP – 3 hrs ago AUG 25,12

A Hamas delegation was to head to Cairo for security talks later Saturday amid Egyptian anger at a deadly raid on an army post near the Gaza border earlier this month, officials from the Islamist group said."A security team from Gaza will leave for several meetings with Egyptian security," Hamas interior ministry spokesman Ihab al-Ghussein told AFP.He said that the object was "to coordinate completely on all security issues, including border security and events which happened in Sinai and the Rafah border crossing (between Gaza and Egypt)."Egypt closed the crossing --- Gaza's only gateway to the outside world that bypasses Israel -- after the August 5 attack and has since only partially reopened it.Egyptian officials have charged that some of the 35 gunmen who stormed the army post killing 16 soldiers had crossed from Gaza through the network of smuggling tunnels that run under the Gaza border.But Gaza's Hamas rulers have said no Palestinians are suspected of involvement in the attack.Asked if the Hamas delegation would take part in the Egyptian investigation, Ghussein said they would not be "directly involved" but would coordinate with Egyptian colleagues.A Hamas official said that the team would travel to Cairo later on Saturday, but did not say for how long.

Iranian invitation splits Palestinians

Associated Press – 1 hr 11 mins ago AUG 25,12

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — The Palestinian foreign minister says President Mahmoud Abbas will not participate at the summit of non-aligned nations in Iran at the end of the month if Hamas also attends.

Riad Malki said Saturday the Palestinian Authority is seeking clarifications from Iran after Hamas announced it had been invited to the August summit and that Hamas' prime minister Ismail Haniyeh would attend.

Malki said Abbas will not attend if Hamas is taking part.Abbas' secular, Western-backed Fatah party and the militant Islamic Hamas are bitter rivals. Violence between the two sides in 2007 left the Palestinians divided with Hamas ruling Gaza and Fatah governing the West Bank. Repeated attempts for reconciliation have failed.Iran is a major supporter of Hamas.

Netanyahu says Iran speeding up nuclear arms quest

AFP – 19 hrs ago AUG 25,12

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a visiting US congressman on Friday that Iran was speeding up its quest for nuclear weapons in defiance of international sanctions."Just yesterday, we received additional proof of the fact that Iran is continuing to make accelerated progress toward achieving nuclear weapons while totally ignoring international demands," Netanyahu's office quoted him as telling Republican Congressman Mike Rogers.Netanyahu was referring to a story in Thursday's Washington Post that cited "diplomats and experts" as saying a forthcoming International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report would show Tehran had installed hundreds of new centrifuges "and may also be speeding up production of nuclear fuel."Netanyahu's comments came as IAEA and Iranian officials met on Friday at the Iranian mission in Vienna to discuss what the agency called "outstanding issues" over Tehran's contested nuclear drive.

Israel and its ally, the United States, accuse Iran of seeking to develop an atomic arsenal but Tehran insists its nuclear programme is only for civilian purposes.Widely suspected to have the region's sole, if undeclared, nuclear arsenal, Israel has warned that if need be it will attack nuclear facilities in the Islamic republic to prevent it becoming capable of producing nuclear weapons.

Dutch set to defy austerity as left takes poll lead

24.08.12 @ 19:54 By Benjamin Fox

BRUSSELS - The left-wing Socialist party is expected to seize the largest gains in September's Dutch elections, threatening to deprive German Chancellor Angela Merkel of one of her closest allies in response to the eurozone debt crisis.With Dutch voters set to go to the polls on 12 September 12, opinion polls indicated that the Socialist party, which has never formed part of a government, is running marginally ahead of caretaker Prime Minister Mark Rutte's Liberal party (VVD).According to a survey released on Wednesday (22 August) by opinion pollsters TNS-Nipo, both parties are projected to win 34 seats in the 150 member Parliament, with the centre-left Labour party (PvdA) expected to poll in third place with 21 seats. A poll of polls compiled this week by the University of Leiden pegs the Socialist and VVD parties at 35 and 33 seats respectively.The election, which takes place on the same day as the German constitutional court rules on whether the European Stability Mechanism, the permanent EU bail-out fund, breaches national law, comes after the centre-right coalition led by Liberal leader Mark Rutte collapsed in April over budget cuts.
The Socialist party is more eurosceptic than the mainstream Dutch parties, leading opposition to the ill-fated Constitutional Treaty which was defeated in a 2005 referendum. It also opposed EU bail-out packages and the European Stability Mechanism, and is against further moves towards fiscal federalism in the eurozone.
Last week, the Socialist party leader Emile Roemer promised to hold a referendum on the fiscal compact treaty, describing it as "idiotic" to impose a 3% limit on budget deficits. The treaty, which was designed by Merkel and former French President Nikolas Sarkozy, and enthusiastically backed by Rutte, would put the deficit and debt brakes from the Stability and Growth Pact into national constitutions.Although Rutte's Liberal party are expected to make slight gains on the 31 seats claimed in 2010, with no party likely to score a decisive victory the election is likely to lead to lengthy negotiation to fashion a coalition government. The Rutte government was cobbled together in October 2010 after four months of negotiations.Geert Wilders' Freedom party (PVV) is expected to lose up to ten of their 24 seats. Wilders', whose party courted controversy earlier this year over its website calling on people to report unruly immigrants, toppled the Rutte administration in April by walking out of negotiations for further budget cuts demanded by the European Commission.Rutte had promised to make further spending cuts in a bid to reduce the country's 4.7% deficit in 2011 below the 3% threshold. Wilders's deputies had voted with the government to give it a parliamentary majority. Meanwhile, economic data released on Friday (24 August) by the Dutch Central Planning Bureau (CPB) forecast that the country's deficit would fall to 2.7% in 2013, with the economy expected to grow by 0.75%.

Air crews make dent in massive Calif. wildfire

By JEFF BARNARD and TERRY COLLINS | Associated Press – 23 hours ago AUG 25,12

MINERAL, Calif. (AP) — Air tankers and helicopters flew repeatedly into a deep rim rock canyon to douse the spearhead of a massive wildfire in Northern California and stop it from driving into a nearby mountain community and Lassen Volcanic National Park."This is the critical spot we have on the fire now," CalFire Division Chief Scott Lindgren said Thursday as he watched the air drops of fire retardant and water on flames burning the steep timbered sides of the canyon, about 6 miles west of Mineral.He was standing in a backyard on the edge of a cliff, where the brush and dirt were colored orange-pink by a recent drop of retardant."The further east we go, the harder it is to stop this thing," he said. "The problem is, we catch it up on top (of the basalt rim rock) at night, but we can't catch it on the bottom (of the canyon) because of the cliff."It has helped to slow the fire's spread so far, reducing the threat to miles of commercial timberland, the mountain community of Mineral, and the park. A logging road to the east was cleared to serve as a contingency line if the air attacks don't stop the fire from running up the canyon.Sixty-four homes and 20 other buildings have been destroyed, mostly in the Manton area, since lightning ignited the blaze Saturday, state fire spokesman Don Camp said. It was still threatening 900 other homes as it burned a new front to the south.About 2,500 firefighters were battling the blaze, which has grown to 44 square miles in the piney hills about 25 miles southeast of Redding.The Ponderosa Fire was 68 percent contained Friday morning, up from 61 percent Thursday evening, said CalFire spokesman Daniel Berlant. Full containment is expected early next week"We've definitely turned the corner, and we're really starting to make good progress in getting a handle on the fire," Berlant said Friday.Watching the drops with the fire chief were Jane Carney, Kelly Strong and Sherill Jenkins, who said they were ready to leave their vacation home if necessary."We'll get out if we're told to get out," Strong said.They stayed because, Jenkins said, "It's beautiful up here."Mineral is a town of 187 vacation and year-round homes that serves as the gateway to the national park.Beth Glenn, whose family owns area commercial buildings dating to 1896 said she was not nervous, having grown up in a firefighting family and living with the frequent fires in Southern California.Elsewhere in the state, a large wildfire in Plumas National Forest expanded with help from gusty winds. The blaze, about 120 miles north of Sacramento, has consumed 99 square miles since it started at the end of July and threatens about 900 homes. It was 55 percent contained Thursday night.The California fires were among several stubborn wildfires in the West. In Washington, crews were still working on a week-old wildfire that has destroyed 51 homes and 26 outbuildings and damaged at least six other homes, authorities said.The fire, about 75 miles east of Seattle, has caused an estimated $8.3 million in property damage.In central Idaho, firefighters were burning and removing vegetation near the town of Featherville in hopes of protecting hundreds of evacuated homes from an approaching wildfire. Fire managers said that blaze already has charred 164 square miles, forcing the residents to evacuate due to heavy smoke.___Collins reported from San Francisco.

Isaac passes Haiti, heads toward Cuba, Florida

By TRENTON DANIEL | Associated Press – 11 mins ago AUG 25,12

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — Tropical Storm Isaac swept across Haiti's southern peninsula early Saturday, dousing a capital city prone to flooding and adding to the misery of a poor nation still trying to recover from the terrible 2010 earthquake.The storm was heading toward eastern Cuba and forecasters said it poses a threat to Florida Monday and Tuesday, just as the Republican Party gathers for its national convention in Tampa. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said a hurricane warning is in effect for the Florida Keys and for the west coast of Florida from Bonita Beach south to Florida Bay.At least three people were reported dead. A woman and a child died in the town of Souvenance, Sen. Francisco Delacruz told a local radio station. A 10-year-old girl died in Thomazeau when a wall fell on his, said Marie Alta Jean-Baptiste, director of Haiti's Civil Protection Office.She said as many as 5,000 people were evacuated because of flooding.Many, however, stayed and suffered. The sprawling seaside shantytown of Cite Soleil was among the areas that flooded."From last night, we're in misery," said Cite Soleil resident Jean-Gymar Joseph. "All our children are sleeping in the mud, in the rain."More than 50 tents in a quake settlement collapsed, forcing people to scramble through the mud to try to save their belongings.Forecasters said Isaac could dump as much as eight to 12 inches (30 centimeters) and even up to 20 inches (51 centimeters) on Hispaniola, which is shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic, as well as produce a storm surge of up to 3 feet (0.9 meters).Isaac was centered about 95 miles (150 kilometers) east-southeast of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, early Saturday, with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph (95 kph). It was moving northwest at 14 mph (22 kph). Tropical force winds extended nearly 200 miles (321 kilometers) from the storm's center.
Forecasters said the storm was likely to march up the Gulf of Mexico, offshore of Florida's west coast, as a hurricane on Monday, just as the Republican National Convention is scheduled to start. Tampa was within the storm's possible strike zone, but the most likely course would carry it toward landfall on the Florida Panhandle late Tuesday or early Wednesday.Cuba declared a state of alert Friday for six eastern provinces and five central provinces were put on preliminary watch. Vacationers in tourist installations of those regions were evacuated.State television began an all-day transmission of news about the storm on Saturday.
Radio Baracoa, from the city of Baracoa on the northern coast of eastern Cuba, reported that high seas began topping the city's seawall Friday night. Reports said lower than normal rains had left reservoirs well below capacity and in good shape to absorb runoff.Cuba has a highly organized civil defense system that goes door-to-door to enforce evacuations of at-risk areas, largely averting casualties from storms even when they cause major flooding and significant damage to crops.In Port-au-Prince, a city of some 3 million ringed by mountains, authorities and aid workers tried to evacuate people from a tent camp to temporary shelters.
More than a hundred people were at a shelter in a school that President Michel Martelly toured Friday, but after the visit some people began to leave."They dragged me from the camp and brought me here," 38-year-old Marlene Charles, thirsty and hungry, said about the aid groups. "There's no way I'm going to spend the night here."In the Dominican Republic, authorities evacuated people from low-lying areas but, as in Haiti, they encountered resistance. Still, authorities said they evacuated nearly 2,900 people. The majority were transferred to the homes of relatives while about 300 were sent to government shelters.Flooding was reported in Santo Domingo and Santiago but no reports of injuries.Organizers of next week's Republican National Convention in Tampa were monitoring storm developments, and authorities said there were no plans to cancel the convention.Out in the eastern Atlantic, former Tropical Storm Joyce degenerated into a weak low pressure system Friday.___Associated Press writers Evens Sanon in Port-au-Prince, Haiti; Peter Orsi in Havana and APTN journalist Fernando Gonzalez in Santiago, Cuba; Danica Coto in San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Ezequiel Abiu Lopez in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, contributed to this report.

Lawyer: 20 More Cases Similar to Brendon Raub Ongoing

Veterans are being targeted in aftermath of Homeland Security smear campaign
Paul Joseph Watson Infowars.com Friday, August 24, 2012

The lawyer who helped secure the release of Brendon Raub, a former Marine forcibly incarcerated in a psychiatric ward by authorities in Virginia for political posts on Facebook, told the Alex Jones Show today that there are currently a further 20 cases in his county alone that are similar in nature to Raub’s detention.

John Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute also said that he had been contacted by numerous veterans in the aftermath of Raub’s release who had encountered similar problems with authorities attempting to have them declared mentally ill.Whitehead attributed the high number of cases involving veterans as a consequence of the Department of Homeland Security’s aggressive campaign to demonize former servicemembers as domestic extremists.Despite controversy at the time, DHS chief Janet Napolitano said she stood by an April 2009 DHS intelligence assessment that listed returning vets as likely domestic terrorists.Just a month later, the New York Times reported on how Boy Scout Explorers were being trained by the DHS to kill “disgruntled Iraq war veterans” in terrorist drills.The FBI has also gone out of its way to characterize returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan as a major domestic terrorist threat.Whitehead pointed to efforts on behalf of health authorities in the United States to characterize distrust of authority as a mental illness under the label “oppositional defiant disorder” or ODD.As we highlighted earlier today, veterans in particular are being targeted in police raids to confiscate their firearms based on the manufactured pretext that they are “mentally defective.”Earlier this year, we also reported on a similar case involving David Sarti, one of the participants in the National Geographic Channel’s Doomsday Prepper show. Sarti visited his doctor complaining of chest pains, only to have the doctor later commit him to a psychiatric ward and alert authorities, before Sarti was declared “mentally defective” and put on an FBI list that stripped him of his second amendment rights.

During an interview with Alex Jones last night, Whitehead also revealed that shortly before his release, psychiatrists had threatened to forcibly medicate Raub in order to “brainwash” him.Critics have made comparisons to the infamous psikhushka psychiatric prisons in the former Soviet Union where dissidents were sent to be isolated, brainwashed, and have their political ideas discredited amongst the general public.

Whitehead added that Brandon Raub is currently at home recovering from his ordeal and that he plans to file a civil lawsuit against the government for damages. Whitehead hopes that the shocking nature of the case will force Congress to begin investigations that could strip the state’s power to carry out civil commitments, under which victims are declared mentally ill with little due process and detained in psychiatric wards.

Brandon Raub: Persecuted for Telling the Truth About the Federal Reserve

Kurt Nimmo Infowars.com August 24, 2012

Corporate media news reports state that former Marine Brandon Raub was arrested by the FBI and the Secret Service and detained in a psychiatric hospital for anti-government posts on Facebook.
A large part of Raub’s post, however, was not directed at the government. It was directed at the Federal Reserve. The Fed is not the government. It is a privately owned financial institution run by a cartel of banksters.

Millions of Americans believe the Federal Reserve is a federal agency despite the fact the Ninth Circuit Court ruled in 1982 that “the Reserve Banks are not federal instrumentalities for purposes of the FTCA, but are independent, privately-owned and locally controlled corporations.”Brandon knows what Congressman Charles Lindbergh, Congressman Louis T. McFadden, Congressman Wright Patman, Senator Barry Goldwater and others brave enough to speak their minds knew: the Federal Reserve is a criminal operation of the international money lenders and swindlers, it functions as a shadow government and has usurped the real government of the people of the United States by arrogant credit monopoly.“The Federal Reserve is wrong. They have designed a system based off of greed and fear. They designed a system to crush the middle class between taxes and inflation. This is wrong, and it is unjust. It is wrong,” Brandon wrote on November 11, 2011.“This thing has deceived our entire nation… They created it in 1913. They also created the income tax in 1913. They encouraged the growth of debt so they can tax you on it. There is interest on the debt. Your government is in bed with these people. They want to enslave you to the government so that they can control every aspect of your lives. It is an empire based on lies. They operate of greed and fear.”
Raub’s arrest by the secret political police run by the banksters who own the United States sets a precedent and sends out a warning: you may be arrested and deemed mentally insane and locked up against your will in a mental ward if you tell the truth about the Federal Reserve.The NDAA is not about al-Qaeda and terrorists. It’s about those of you who dare tell the truth. If the government considers you a threat like they consider Brandon Raub a threat, they may send out the secret political police and disappear you.After the economy collapses – a collapse engineered by the Federal Reserve and the international banksters who run it – and there is social chaos, the government may forgo the relative nicety of a mental ward and put a bullet in your head.

KING JESUS IS COMING FOR US ANY TIME NOW. THE RAPTURE. BE PREPARED TO GO.

False flag-From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.False flag operations are covert operations designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations, and can be used in peace-time.(NOTICE EVERY TIME THERES A REAL TERRORIST ATTACK,THE GOVERNMENT ALWAYS IS DOING A FAKE DRILL WHICH MEANS THEY CAN SAY IT WAS ONLY A DRILL IF THE ATTACK DOES NOT GO OVER WITH THE PUBLIC OR IF THE GOVERNMENT MUFFED UP THEIR OWN FALSE FLAG CONTROL FREAK,GET MORE CONTROL OF PEOPLES RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.)

WELL IF THIS WAS A FALSE FLAG.CNN AND OBAMA WOULD TEAM UP TO PROPAGANDIZE THE AMERICAN CITIZENS AND CLAIME IT WAS NOT A TERRORIST ATTACK.CNN MADE A GRAVE MISTAKE BY COMING OUT AFTER AN HOUR BY SAYING THIS WAS NOT A TERROIST ATTACK.THEY GAVE AWAY THEIR AND OBAMAS SECRET IF IT WAS A FALSE FLAG.BECAUSE NO ONE WOULD KNOW FOR SURE IF HE WASN'T A RADICAL MUSLIM SEX FOR MURDER CULT,ISRAEL HATER FOR SURE.

Two people were killed and at least eight were wounded in a shooting outside the landmark Empire State Building in New York City on Friday, according to a New York police source.One of the dead was the shooter, the source said, adding that there was no apparent link to terrorism.“I heard the gunshots,” said Dahlia Anister, 33, who works at an office near the 102-story Empire State Building. “It was like pop, pop, pop. It was definitely in a bunch.”The victims were shot shortly after 9 a.m. on the sidewalk on Fifth Avenue outside the building in Midtown Manhattan.The shooting broke out at the height of the tourist season outside one of New York City’s most popular attractions, startling tourists and commuters in one of the busiest areas of the city.The building is two blocks from Pennsylvania Station, one of New York City’s main transportation hubs.The United States has had two other mass shooting cases this summer. On July 20, James Holmes, 24, allegedly opened fire at a midnight screening of the Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises” in Aurora, Colorado, killing 12 people and wounding 58.On Aug. 5, a gunman killed six people and critically wounded three at a Sikh temple outside Milwaukee before police shot him dead in an attack authorities treated as an act of domestic terrorism.The Empire State Building was the world’s tallest building for 40 years from its completion in 1931 until construction of the World Trade Center. Following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, it was again the tallest building in the city.

Coast Guard in STC drill

The Coast Guard, along with local and federal law enforcement agencies ran a  joint-agency anti-terrorism “Securing the Cities” (STC) exercise on July 18 in the waters of New York Harbor.During the exercise, the Coast Guard said two of its cutters and crews from stations in locations near New York Harbor coordinated with local law enforcement agencies in screening recreational vessels for a dirty bomb or nuclear device as they moved through the harbor under the Verrazano Narrows Bridge.Specifically, Coast Guard Cutters Penobscot Bay, homeported in Bayonne, NJ, and Tiger Shark, homeported in Newport, RI, along with crews from Coast Guard Stations New York and Sandy Hook, NJ, participated, it said.News reports said harbor units from several area police departments, including the New York Police Department fielded harbor units for the exercise.
In a statement on July 18, the Coast Guard said seven other agencies participated, including the New York Police Department, New York Fire Department, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, New York Naval Militia, Perth Amboy, Union County, and Jersey City Police Departments.
STC is an ongoing, federally-funded exercise designed to evaluate the ability of first responder organizations in the New York tri-state area to detect and interdict radiological materials bound for New York.  The program began in 2006 as a pilot project for the New York City region, providing equipment, tools and training through cooperative agreements to the NYPD, the lead agency for the STC program, which in turn distributes grant money to other participating agencies. In all, STC has provided more than 5,800 pieces of detection equipment, trained nearly 11,000 personnel, and conducted more than a hundred drills, according to DHS.
