By Stuart Littlewood


Churchill, in his Battle of Britain speech 71 years ago, said: 'If we can stand up to him [Hitler], all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age, made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science...'


Today those "broad, sunlit uplands" of Churchill's are again shrouded in storm-clouds. Zionist infiltrators have succeeded where Hitler failed. The difference now is that the enemy’s invasion forces are not massing across the Channel. They are already here in our midst and we are indeed on the brink of a new Dark Age, as the ruthless conspiracy masterminded by foreign interests expands its influence by stealth and by subversion and by intimidation.


America is sliding into the abyss fast as US Congressmen repeatedly parade their abject subservience to the powerful pro-Israel lobby, AIPAC. Who will forget the pathetic spectacle of 29 standing ovations they accorded the swaggering, lying, crazed Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu while he delivered his poison?


The question now is whether we in the UK can stand up to the encroaching menace and save "all that we have known and cared for", when we have so completely lost our moral bearings.


We duck our solemn responsibilities under the Geneva Conventions and give Zionist war criminals a safe haven immune from arrest.


We allow fanatics, such as Conservative Friends of Israel, to organize and promote the interests of the criminal Israeli regime at the very heart of Westminster government.


We allow MPs to place themselves under the influence of foreign interest groups and to abuse the principles that are supposed to underpin standards in public life.


We allow Jews to be hugely over-represented in our Parliament and to dominate key areas of our administration, including those related to security. If Muslims were over-represented to the same extent they’d have 200 seats and action would be taken.


We spend large amounts of treasure and send our troops to murder foreign civilians and die in foreign lands simply to support US-Israeli greed, destroying our own good name in the process.


We allow civil society's hard-earned savings to bail out Zionist bankers in distress and fund endless wars and the corporate and personal profits of those who promote wars.


Civil Society’s Fury


Last week we watched with satisfaction as media mogul and Zionist flag-waver Rupert Murdoch's stranglehold on the political scene in Britain came unglued after revelations of hacking into a murdered schoolgirl’s voicemail and other dirty tricks. But it wasn’t the Establishment or the police that taught Murdoch a much-needed lesson: it was a disgusted civil society whose anger eventually brought down the weight of the law and Parliament on the offenders' heads.


Politicians, from prime ministers down, wet their pants at the thought of how much damage Murdoch's gutter-sniping newspapers could do to them if they didn't bow and scrape to the over-mighty NewsCorp. The News of the World, we were told so many times, had the power to make of break political careers.


That was only true, of course, if the politicians in question were weak and susceptible to pressure – and those are not the sort of politicians we want anyway. Blair and Cameron were at Murdoch's beck and call and socialised with his odious executives, including the scary Rebekah Brooks. Neither had the balls to curb the illegal practices


It finally came down to this. Who were our spineless politicians more scared of – the furious public or ‘Dirty Digger’ Murdoch? Clearly the British people need to show their outrage more often.


When we reach the age of 60 we cringe at how arrogant and ignorant we were at 40. So why saddle ourselves with a gullible 44 year-old prime minister, which is how old Blair was when he entered 10 Downing Street? Cameron was only 43.


Blair at first impressed by being a Flash Harry but in reality was so young, stupid and unprincipled that he became an acute embarrassment, bringing shame on Britain. Cameron is similarly ‘flash’ and continually has to make desperate U-turns to reverse half-baked policies.


Like Blair he’s a warmonger eager to make an impression on the back of someone else’s blood and shredded body parts. Prime minister Cameron recently launched an extraordinary attack on “moaning” military chiefs who had dared to openly question the length of the war in Libya. In a public slap-down he told top brass: “You do the fighting and I’ll do the talking.” He added: ‘I’m absolutely confident that we can keep this pressure up. We can maintain this mission for as long as necessary. Time is on our side.” Arrogant pup, they probably thought.


Indeed. Those were the ill-considered words of a leader whose country is financially broke… and went broke while Cameron and his Conservative buddies were the official opposition charged with the duty of holding the governments of Blair and Brown to account.


So How Bad Is It, Really?


It’s this bad. Britain’s foreign policy remains perfectly aligned with the demands of Israel and its protector, the United States. Long-time friends and admirers of the Israeli regime, such as William Hague and Alistair Burt, are hand-picked to make sure we do not stray from the pro-Israel path no matter how diabolically criminal that regime’s conduct or how offensive the agenda of these Israeli-firsters to ordinary decent British citizens.


Even prime minister Cameron has pledged: “In me, you have a Prime Minister whose belief in Israel is indestructible… I want to be clear, we will always support Israel...” One’s blood runs cold. Is Cameron paid and sworn to represent a foreign military power? It’s not such a silly question as it sounds.


The Foreign Office still refuses to say whether it will protect British subjects and other peaceful nationals from the threat of lethal force by Israel in its attempt to maintain an illegal blockade on Gaza. Instead our ministers effectively endorse the blockade by advising against all travel to the Gaza Strip.


As for Iran the UK has banned more than 80 Iranians from visiting, including scientists and engineers connected with the Iranian nuclear programme, government ministers, members of the judiciary, prison officials and others “who have committed serious human rights abuses”.  Says foreign secretary Hague: "The message to the Iranian government from the UK and its partners is clear: it needs to change its behaviour before it will be treated as a normal member of the international community."


Has Hague banned any Israelis linked to war crimes, human rights abuses and nuclear arms proliferation? Perish the thought. They are not required to “change their behaviour” in the least. They are welcomed with open arms.


Our politicians, in the main, are already Zionist stooges like their American counterparts. Our enforcement agencies are so weakened or dysfunctional and some leading figures are so out of control and doing so much damage that there may soon be no way of reining them in. We are losing control fast and we'll find it difficult to take back our country without organizing serious insurrection.


Churchill, a Zionist sympathizer of the old-fashioned kind, confronted many dire threats but could not have foreseen, in his day, how the tentacles of Zionism would envelop the civilized world. But there’s no excuse for today’s leaders when the truth is so brazenly ugly. That they embrace it and even change our laws to accommodate it, underlines their utter unsuitability for high office.


We stood up to Hitler. Is no-one incorruptible enough to stand against the Zionist menace?

Palestinians grapple with the opposition plan UNITED NATIONS (AP)

RAMALLAH, West Bank – faced with opposition from the United States, a number of top officials quietly advise Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to drop plans to seek recognition for a State of Palestine in the UN this fall.


Top officials say Abbas remains committed to his plan — a result of the widespread opinion among Palestinians, two decades-and turn on-off negotiations with Israel have run their course, and that the current isrælske leadership is not a partner for peace.


Officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to the Associated Press Thursday, said Abbas would like to "climbing from the tree" and find a mutually acceptable formula for restarting the negotiations, preferably based on the ideas presented by President Barack Obama recently.


At the same time, there is a widespread feeling that Abbas has announced his intentions so eye-catching, has left itself with little room to maneuver and can continue with the UN gambit just to avoid loss of credibility.


"We are caught by September," said an official. "We do not know what to do after that."


Concerns reflects a growing recognition of the fact that the project is problematic and the promise of a messy and unclear result which could change a little on the ground — and can backfire politically or even trigger new violence if Palestinians emerge disappointed at the outcome.


That was underscored this week when U.S. officials told a visiting Palestinian delegation to seek UN recognition, in the absence of a peace agreement was a "nonstarter" — in the latest indication that the United States would veto a Security Council decision.


"There is no clear Palestinian options," said Hani Masri, analyst, which is in close contact with Abbas ' inner circle. "Abbas go definitely to the UNITED NATIONS to maintain its credibility. But if there are other chance to come back to negotiations, he will do it ".


The Security Council, the UN's most powerful body, is charged with recommending membership for new Member States in the world body — a necessary step in the process. United States, has as one of five permanent members veto power over Council decisions.


The Palestinians has been to examine alternatives, such as asking the general Assembly, where they enjoy widespread support, on the recognition of a different kind.


The Assembly's decisions are not legally binding, and it has become increasingly clear that the approval would be a little more than a symbolic victory. Late last month said the Assembly's President, Swiss politician, Joseph Deiss, there is no way a Palestinian State could join the UNITED NATIONS without a recommendation from the Security Council.


The Palestinian officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, when they discussed the sensitive negotiations, said a number of top advisers now have second thoughts on the strategy for the United Nations.


They said that among them Yasser Abed Rabbo, the No. 2 official after Abbas of the Palestinian Liberation Organization; Abbas ' Chief negotiator, Saeb fine; and Nasser al-Qidwa, a former Palestinian Envoy to the United Nations and Chief Abbas perfume business.


All three declined comment.


Earlier this week, al-Qidwa recognised borders Abbas ' strategy in a closed collection of prominent Palestinian intellectual.


Al-Qidwa said the Palestinians must continue to try to rally support for their cause in the UNITED NATIONS ", but we should distinguish between download support and obtain recognition. We can not have recognition simply because the United States will veto it, "he said, according to a transcript obtained by The Associated Press.


Setting the UNITED NATIONS is a centerpiece Abbas ' foreign policy since a short-lived round of peace talks collapsed in september last year after the expiry of a isrælsk slowdown in settlement construction.


The Palestinians have demanded a renewed settlement construction freeze in the West Bank and in East Jerusalem. The Palestinians claim both territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Middle East war. Israel counters that the Palestinians have never laid down such a condition before and the issue of settlements should be discussed in the negotiations.

The Palestinians want the UN to approve an independent State within the pre-1967 lines.

Such a vote would have little immediate effect on the Earth, believe the Palestinians will send a strong message to Israel to withdraw. Isræls prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, rejects a return to the lines before 1967.

Both Obama and France have recently offered similar formulas to restart negotiations, suggesting that the future borders will be based on pre-1967 lines with mutually agreed changes.

The Palestinians have embraced both proposals. Masri, analyst, said he believes they are even prepared to drop their long-standing demand for a full settlement freeze in exchange for the Obama formula. Israel, however, have reacted coolly.

Top Palestinian and isrælske dealers were in Washington this week meeting separately with U.S. officials in search of ways to resume negotiations. There was no word of a breakthrough.

Palestinian foreign minister Riad Malki, Abbas ' point man on the UNITED NATIONS preparations, said the Palestinians "is determined" seeking UN membership in September "unless the negotiations be resumed based on Obama parameters."

United States were warned about the Nakba

By Dallas Darling


Even alleged terrorists have authentic complaints, obvious truths that cannot be denied with regard to State-sponsored terrorism. This old security was again revealed when isrælske soldiers shot and massacred more than 20 Palestinian demonstrators and injured several hundred more. Their crime was commemorating the Nakba, an event when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were killed or militarily forced to flee from their homes, while Israel was a new State. the Palestinian demonstrators, killed along with steel barricades in Lebanon and occupied the Golan Heights and the Gaza Strip and West Bank, not only requires the attention of the Palestinian Nakba, also known as day disaster and a tragic memories, as Israel has outlawed and tried to remove, but they also demonstrated on behalf of Palestinian refugees and their right to return to their home countries.


In 1948, when the Truman administration and much of the United States the creation of Israel even before the United Nations did and immediate aid and military support recognised, was Palestinian survivors of the Deir Yassin spread naked, were loaded on open trucks and paraded through Jerusalem where they were spat on, beaten and stoned. Zionists lo and stroked by women was cut over their chest. A passing Palestinian mother pulled quickly his young child away from the horror-filled scene, but not before he shouted, "Momma's House, looking at blood." His name was Sirhan Sirhan.(1) following the murder of Robert f. Kennedy in 1968 and at his trial, Sirhan delivered a grievance, a warning to the United States on its unwavering support for Israel at the expense of Palestinian refugees.


"Well, sir, when you move-when you move a whole country," said Sirhan, "whole body people from their own home, from their own country, from their companies, sir, outside their country, and to introduce a foreign people, sir, in Palestine-Jews and Zionists-it is quite forkertsirand it is unfair and the Palestinian Arabs did a thing, sir, to justify the way they were treated by the West. "He explained how forced relocations and massacres deeply affected him asks," where is the Justice involved, sir? Where is the love, sir, are fighting for the underdog? Israel is not the underdog in the Middle East, sir. It is these refugees who are underdogs. And because they have no way of fighting back, sir, sir, Jews, Zionists, just keep marketing plan away on them. than roasted hell out of me. "(2)


In its final storage media and just before his murder, warned Osama bin Laden, the United States and the Americans that they would not live in safety until the Palestinians fine in security. A sickly and pale-looking bin Laden declared, "America will not be able to dream of security until we live in safety in Palestine. It is unfair that you live in peace while our brother in Gaza live in insecurity. " Just as Sirhan thought bin Laden back to 1982 when he saw the United States and its warships bombing, killing and wounding many Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, while others fled in horror. In "The Towers in Lebanon," bin Laden wrote: "I still remember the appalling scenes: blood, torn limbs, women and children were massacred. Everywhere, houses destroyed and tower blocks hide, crush their bebøre, while bombs spread mercilessly on our homes. "(3)


And just as Sirhan, bin Laden wondered how "the entire world" could hear and see what had happened but still do nothing. In another letter, this one entitled "to The Americans," explains bin Laden why he fights United States and its military and he wants. The very first reason he expresses is: "because you attacked us and continue to attack us. You attacked us in Palestine. "(4) according to bin Laden, "Palestine, which have wrecked military occupation for more than 80 years. The British handed over Palestine, with their help and their support for the Jews, who have occupied for more than 50 years; years is overflowing with oppression, tyranny, crimes, killings, displacement, destruction and devastation …The blood pouring out of Palestine must be equally avenged. "(5)


United States and Americans must one day realize that Arab Palestinians not weep alone; their women are widowed alone; their sons are orphans alone; and their peaceful demonstrators slaughtered by isrælske soldiers do not die alone.


(Note: while abhorring violence perpetrated by both Sirhan and bin Laden, the Palestinians should be commended for their non-violent Intifada uprisings.)

The trial in the United States, Iran claims to have helped plan the September 11 attacks (Reuters)

NEW YORK (Reuters)-11. victims of the September 2001 attacks on the written documents, to the families of the Federal Court this week, in response to a request for subsequent verification, Iran had role in terrorist attacks, even if the u.s. Government, the decision of the Executive Committee of inquiry in 2004.

New documents filed in the current proceedings in the United States District Court, Manhattan, to lay the blame for the Iran and Hezbollah, helping plot the attacks on the al Qaida terrorist ties to Iran, the Lebanese militant group.

"Iran and the upper was in advance of the information on the 9/11 attacks in the planning," said the documents that accuse Iran of direct aid ", and the United States of America and the history of the most deadly act of sponsorship of terrorism."

From a strictly legal point for families, Thomas Mellon Jr., told Reuters on Friday that a new application based on his firm's former Chief of staff of the United States and Iran has drawn up the intelligence officials.

Iran's involvement in the issue examined in the light of the existing 9/11 Commission in its decision to initiate the formal investigation after the terrorist attacks in the United States Government. It was released in 2004, the report found "strong evidence" of Iranian helped some of the 9/11 hijackers and out of Afghanistan to the terrorist attacks. It was found that the "evidence of Iran or Hezbollah was aware of what later became the 9/11 attacks."

Mellon said, the latest legal move is intended to prove that Iran helped the movement, because it was aware of and supported their hijackers.

Mellon said some of his company's testimony gathered showed that Hezbollah's Imad Mughniyah, a senior officer met al Qaida leader Osama Bin Laden in 1993 between Iran and al Qaida terrorist attacks served to draw, and traveled to Saudi Arabia to help coordinate the al Qaida terrorist attacks.

MUGHNIYAH, who was killed in 2008, it was for a long time also the 1983 bombing attacks that killed more than 200 Us Marines, Us armed forces from Lebanon terror watch list.

Ellen Saracini, United Airlines, the pilots were flying the plane, the husband, who was abducted and the World Trade Center crashed, said the terrorist attacks on the participation of the Iranian allegations are not new. They were filed in court this week because the have not made themselves known, the United States Government had fully examined by them.

"It is a little worrying that our Government has taken more responsibility for locating, which has been involved in the terrorist attacks," he said.

United States and Bahrain: how to talk just hard enough with an ally (Time.com)

Tuesday-met just seven days after his country lifted 13 weeks of emergency-Bahrain's Crown Prince, Salman bin Hamad al-Khalifa, separately with President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Washington. White House statement said President supported al-Khalifa "ongoing efforts to initiate a national dialogue" and that "Bahrain stability depends on the universal rights of the people of Bahrain, including the right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly."


Come after Obama lashed in Bahrain violent punishment on peaceful demonstrators in a speech on May 19, his support was a public change of course, that appear to repair ties with a key Middle East ally. It also appeared to signal that America will stop his public criticism of Bahrain Government itself as it invites the Sunni-dominated regime to initiate talks with opposition leaders. (See photos of the demonstrators sent from Pearl Square).


Meetings are "a shift in tone and indicate a softening of the U.S. approach to Bahrain," said Shadi Hamid, Research Director of the Brookings Doha Center, "and show that the United States is not only seriously putting real constant pressure on the regime right now. The impact of Tuesday's visit has been to put a band aid on the tensions between the two countries and is, Hamid says, "green light" to the Bahrain Government to go about his business without criticism or interference by the United States. Business includes both the reopening of the country to international trade, fear of unrest in the spring, and the closing stages of a months long violent punishment on the demonstrators, who this week as security forces repeatedly attack Shi'a enclaves with rubber bullets and tear gas.


Since March 13 when Saudi tanks rolled in Manama and security forces began arresting any connection with anti-Government movements-including journalists and health workers-the US Government has faced a conundrum. How snub Obama an ally, which houses the Navy's fifth fleet in a geopolitical arena, which includes its regional nemesis, Iran? (See photos of penalty in Bahrain).


"Bahrain has always been ground zero America's inability to reconcile interests and ideals in Arab spring," said Hamid. "It is difficult for Management to handle and they really have not found a way yet. Obama has also come under fire from international rights groups and Bahrain's Shi'as, which has repeatedly said his and Clinton's sporadic criticism was just lip service and that both should have taken a public stance against the tougher regime's violent tactics.


The White House said Tuesday that al Khalifa urged Obama to follow up on "the Government's obligation to ensure that those responsible for violations of human rights will be held responsible," a marked shift in tone from May 19, when he lambasted the regime's destruction of more than 30 Shi'a mosques.


"We have called on the Obama administration to highlight strongly and publicly and in no uncertain terms about the violations of human rights that occurred," says His Hogrefe, Chief policy officer at Physicians for human rights, which this week refers to the conviction of 48 doctors and nurses if ministering to wounded demonstrators led to their prosecution for participating in the protests. "We hope that there would have been a more public discourse-it is important for the region to see that we measure human rights with the same standards everywhere, that we are not just condemning Syria, Libya constantly but let our friends from easy." (See if Obama speech help Bahrain reformists).


The u.s. Government the goal this week was to stress the need for immediate talks on the reform between the Bahrain Government and opposition officials. Although the Crown Prince said he would be open to meeting with Shi'a leaders, repeating Obama, in his speech may activists frustration that it was impossible to open negotiations, when most of the opposition leadership was in jail. "What is driving this visit to D.C., is that [Obama and Clinton] tries to tell Shi'a actually negotiate. And tell the Royal family to negotiate, "said Thomas Ferguson, senior researcher at the Roosevelt Institute. "The phrase was blunt." Obama solidarity is crucial for the relatively moderate Crown Prince, whose influence in Bahrain has fallen as he fights the growing number of harsh extremists within its own Government.


Is U.s. relationship not only with Bahrain but Saudi Arabia, if soldiers allied with the Bahrain security officers in quelling ønations revolution in March on the games moving forward. Many see the conflict in Bahrain as a proxy war between the Saudis and Iran, with the latter seeks to seize on any perceived weakness in the relationship between oil-rich Saudi and America. (See how Bahrain sits between Saudi Arabia and Iran).


"The United States has a fundamental interest in keeping its relations with the Saudis on an angle and Bahrain is its biggest problem," said Joost Hiltermann, Middle East, Deputy Director of the International Crisis Group. Obama "that Iran will take advantage of instability in the region. The current situation of the Iranian interests, feeding because the more you suppress the Shi'a, the more they radicalize and seek external sponsors. So it is important for the United States to put pressure on the regime to open up political space and to permit the participation of all its people. " This week, "they insist on the need for dialogue without preconditions as an inclusive exercise that leads to genuine political reform."


"Rights groups can say it is not doing enough to publicly criticise its close ally" Hiltermann continues. "But the Government believes that private conversations are more useful in this situation than public scorn." Before Clinton meeting Tuesday, State Department spokesman Mark Toner alluded to the possibility of criticism-and repeated the Government's months-long position on its public treatment of its island ally. "We will, of course, increase our concerns," he told journalists. "Bahrain is a friend and partner, but we can be honest with you, as well as". Although opposition leaders has long shake stronger public rebukes from the Americans, most now side with Sheikh Ali Salman, head of the official opposition party al Wefaq, which said last month that the Group was ready for negotiations. After months of violence, it is likely the country's Shi'a majority not fault U.S. leaders to keep their discussions with the largely private-as long as the promises of the conversations are kept, Crown Prince and tear gas to stop counting on Manama.

United Kingdom criticize Hamas ' sorrow bin Laden (AFP)

Håg said: "it would help to cause if it was possible to display across many different divides in the world very unit about what happened on Sunday evening and the removal of the author of some of the world's biggest terrorist acts from the scene.


"It would have been better for Hamas to join in the Welcome to which it would have been a leap forward in the peace process itself."

Netanyahu on Tuesday called on the Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas "totally cancel the" reconciliation trade with Hamas, which was signed in Cairo earlier in the day, and warned it was a "hard" of the peace process.

What should do the United States on the Middle East?


Is it possible America is about to reap what it has sown in the Middle East? There is no sense discussing or non-Iraq war was a stupid war started by a President with an axe to grind. It is the past, this is what it is.

Instead, America had better quickly get its act together and develop a plan that deals with how to handle the current unrest and the overthrow of the dictatorships in the Middle East. This response plan should be prepared without emotion, finger pointing or along party lines, we may be fighting for our existence.

United States brought down the dictatorship of Saddam, good or bad, that it is passed and with it the only deterrence and threat to the Iran gaining complete control over the Middle Eastdominated Muslims.

Overthrow of the Tunisia of his ' dictatorship has led to political unrest and violence throughout the region with the Egypt being the most recent and the most dangerous situation for the interests of the United States. It is quite possible a dominated Islamic radical Middle East could quickly begin a complete takeover of America by turning off the oil tap.

Hatred United, American, Muslim Middle East with the Iran handle the scenario together behind the scenes would not cave and turn back oil that it is a Jihad and their foot on our throat.

There is little debate that should be members of the force to obtain concessions from the enemy to return the flow of oil. Based on this hypothesis we will look at the current military situation, in that we find ourselves.

Our army in Iraq is poorly prepared counter a whole attack from outside forces surrounding the Iraq. Troops, although the best in the world, are exhausted from years of war and endurance of several rotations.

Our Forces in Afghanistan, which should have been removed years before we have repeated the error of the Russia, is unqualified and ill-equipped to fight the war of desert. It is not so the troops could not be reequipped and adapt to the war of the desert, but logistics is huge and sparse time.

We have thousands of soldiers stationed in Korea separating the crazy North Korean dictator, but of South Korea. South Korea is a great economic power which should be able to fight his own case of attack. Why continue to play the nurse? If the South Koreans need help, let them turn to the Japan, which also has much to lose if the North Korea operates the war such as the South.

Organize, equip and recycling of these troops in a fighting force deserted effective would not attainable unless we were engaged in a prolonged war. The immediate effects of a complete oil embargo on the United States of still not a conflict long term on our part. As our soldiers, our army mechanized fuel (petroleum) running would be fighting without water. It cannot last long.

Then, how America should respond to this new threat? Initially, our leaders had better stop bickering about health care and give the case urges the attention it deserves.

The troops of the Afghanistan should be taken as soon as possible, but as orderly as possible to ensure the safety of our soldiers. Withdrawal of type Viet Nam would be catastrophic, we are not running, we will redeploy.

Korea troops should pull down to numbers Advisor original of the 1950s. Korea of the North should go crazy and return to the war, it would quickly lead to a nuclear holocaust, because it would be folly for saber rattling in actual conflict. The North Koreans would destroy rather on both sides of the country suffer defeat in a conventional war, our troops have, therefore, no useful purpose except to increase the number of body.

The United States should immediately Institute a project. Immediately, when talking about Washington D.C., means in the future, as a red band, government bureaucracy and political manoeuvring would delay the effective implementation of the programme.

However, the announcement of a such action would show for Middle Eastand the rest of the world, the United States provides the plan to destroy America and is ready to implement all the means it considers necessary to protect our country.

Iran-Venezuela ties, the United States, which is the subject of the (Christian Science Monitor)

Caracas, Venezuela – Libya Muammar Qaddafi has received in recent weeks, Venezuela, Hugo Chávez attention seems to have left his other best friend, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, of Iran forever, Feeling a little left out.

This week underlines his koulutetumpi closer relations with Iran, Fars Province, according to the News Agency of Iran, Tehran's Ambassador to Venezuela, met with the radical Civic Union (UCR).

Mr. Ahmadinejad "in Iran-Venezuela ties in all domains on the expansion will help peace, stability and security in the world," said.

Two of the "brother" of Nations pledged to strengthen their State of the News coverage of the match, but did not mention publicly, at least in the billions of dollars in the previous year inked energy contracts that are now in US-Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the US House of representatives Foreign Affairs Committee recently, that the United States of America to consider punitive actions if it was found that Venezuela, USA, the fifth largest oil supplier, had violated the sanctions against Iran.

Think you know that in South America? Test your geography.

Iran's export of Venezuelan questionMs. Clinton's comments were in response to Rep. Connie Mack (R), Florida, that the documents provided by the claim, the national oil company PDVSA, the Venezuelan is by sending gasoline to Iran in violation of the comprehensive Iran sanctions, accountability and property, the Act of 2010 (CISADA).

Mr. Mack, is the most vocal critics of USA: n in Venezuela. Earlier this year he called for President Chavez ' thugocrat, "the calling", less than any full-scale economic embargo. "

Venezuela exported barrels at places and also mix with petrol for the parts of the 2009 and 2010, if not millions, of Iran. But PDVSA President and Energy Minister Rafael Ramirez has consistently denied the sanctions busting, saying shipments occurred before July 2010, prohibit actions to support the development, production and export of crude oil and refined oil, Iran tightened CISADA arguments.

Agreements were more symbolic than substantive, some analysts believe that in such a way as to violate the sanctions, and, as the case may be. No action has been taken, and Chávez, please see the following article in the history of the corresponding agreements failed.

Obama's reaction to Chavez, "we believe that the State Department response to this, by the time of the sanctions and to propose the purchase of all diplomatic channels, rather than Blunt tool uses to restrict support for the Iranian regime in Venezuela – which seems at this stage, the more symbolic than substantive in our view, locate the" J.p.

Libya, hypocrisy and betrayal by the UNITED NATIONS

By Felicity Arbuthnot-London


' If you want to get a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face-forever. '--George Orwell.


Bombing of Libya will begin or almost on the day of the eighth anniversary of the beginning of the destruction of Iraq, 20 March, in Europe. Libya will also be destroyed-its schools, the education system, water, infrastructure, hospitals, municipal buildings. There will be several "tragic mistakes", "collateral damage", mothers, fathers, children, babies, grandparents, blind and deaf schools and on and on. And wonders of the world of Roman remains and a former predominantly enduring and revered in all of history as Iraq, turmoils the country's history and humanity, again as Iraq and Afghanistan, will be gone, forever.


The infrastructure will be destroyed. Embargo remains in place, so rebuild will be impossible. United Kingdom, France and the U.S.., decides the country needs to "stabilize", "help with reconstruction." They will move in, secure the oil installations and oil fields, the Libyan population will be incidental generation and quickly become "the enemy", "insurgents" will be shot, imprisoned, tortured, abused-and U.S.-friendly puppet "Government" will be installed.


The attackers will reward businesses rebuilding contracts, money-probably taken from Libya's frozen assets without accounting-will disappear and the country will remain largely in ruins.


And highest cheerleaders, such as Iraq, want to run round the tv and radio stations in London, Europe and the United States then returning to their safe apartments and their UK/United States/Europe paid tenures, in the knowledge that no bombs to drop them. their children will not shake the uncontrollable and soiling himself with terror at the sound of approaching aircraft.


And this Libyan "shock and Awe"? Shame shame on France, United Kingdom and the United States and the UN's acknowledged: "... to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war." Each shattered body each child maimed or blown to bits, each widow, widower, rare diseases, will have their name on these countries and the UN., written in their blood in their place of death.


And the public of these murderous, marauding Western ram raiders, will know that we bring democracy, liberating Libya from a tyrant from "New Hitler", "the butcher in Bengazi."


Those countries which have ganged together these last days, in order to overthrow a sovereign Government has, once again, arguably, conspired in Nürnbergs: "... Supreme international crime, differs only from other war crimes, contains in itself the whole accumulated evil", and once again plotted to overthrow a sovereign Government, with a fig leaf "legality" from an arm twisted UN. We have seen it all before.


In time, it will emerge as a stirring, bribe, de-stabilizing-and probably a few will be surprised by the results. But before then, Libya is broken for a long time and its population, refugees, displaced persons, in despair.


When it comes to handling the usual "liberators", be careful what you want. In six months or so, most Libyans, notwithstanding the deficiencies in the last 40 years of rule, regret the day.

United Kingdom upgrades status of Palestinian diplomats (AP)

LONDON — Britain's Foreign Secretary William Hague announced Monday U.K. want to upgrade the status of Palestinian representatives in London, ahead of talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

Håg is scheduled to meet with Abbas in London Tuesday and said he would also increase its concern about the lack of progress on resuming negotiations on the peace process in the Middle East.

"It is still more crucial than ever that we press for a just and lasting solution to the isrælsk-Palestinian conflict. We want to see a quick return to negotiations, based on clear parameters, including the 1967 borders, "said Håg.

He told lawmakers that the Palestinian representation would be recognised as full diplomatic, rather to its former status as a delegation.

The change is largely symbolic and representatives do not have diplomatic immunity or other privileges and immunities to those working on behalf of the United Kingdom recognizes as independent Nations.

Members of the Palestinian mission has, however, a simplified visa regime.

"In view of the extent of our support for the Palestinian Authority and our work with them, we want to join the many other countries in upgrading the status of the Palestinian delegation to London for the level of mission" Håg said.

After the peace negotiations with Israel broke last year, the Palestinians have embarked on a campaign to win international recognition for a State in all the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem — Israel captured the territories in the 1967 war. So far 10 countries have met, all of them in Latin America.

In January, the Irish Government announced it would upgrade the Palestinian diplomatic status as an official Embassy. France and Spain have also made similar gestures.

Recognition of Palestinian State will not change the situation on the ground. Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005 but still controls the West Bank, where Palestinians have limited self rule in populated areas. The Palestinians hope widespread recognition would increase pressure on Israel.

Israel rejects the unilateral Palestinian approach, insisting that the only way to peace is through direct negotiations.

The British Foreign Ministry said it planned to inform other Nations, including Israel, of the amendment.

Isræls London Embassy welcomed the Hågs appeal for a quick return to negotiations, but said "convinced" the upgrade will not encourage the Palestinians to return to the table.

"Real upgrade is missing is in the Palestinian willingness to talk peace," said an Embassy spokesman.

In recent weeks have called isrælske leaders and Håg United States do more to restart peace talks.

Peace talks collapsed in September and the Palestinians argue discussions cannot resume text wrapping feature continued isrælsk settlement building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

"We want to work with all parties to press for a decisive breakthrough in the year," told the Håg House.

Abbas heads to the United Kingdom for talks on peace (AFP)

RAMALLAH, Palestinian territories (AFP)-Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas is heading to the United Kingdom late Sunday for a one-day visit to discuss the stalled peace process with Israel.


Abbas was scheduled to hold talks with Prime minister David Cameron and foreign minister William Hague on Monday before heading to Denmark.


"Conversations with Cameron and Håg will take the situation in the Middle East, the faltering peace process and isrælske settlement activities, as well as the forthcoming meeting of the Quartet," said spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeina Abbass.


Middle East Quartet of peacemakers--United States, which groups Russia, the European Union and the United Nations--is expected to meet in Paris later this month for talks aimed at jump-starting the peace process.


Abu Rudeina said Abbass meetings in London will also examine "ways to support and promote the peace process in isrælske intransigence and continued settlement activities, which have stalled the negotiations."


He said Abbas would also discuss European efforts to support the peace process, which ground to a halt shortly after direct peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians to restart in September 2010 for the issue of settlement building.


Israel has refused to renew a partial settlement construction moratorium which expired shortly after Washington relaunched direct negotiations between the two sides.


The Palestinians have refused to hold negotiations while Israel builds on land they want for a future State, which led to an impasse.


Isrælske media reports in the past week have suggested that isrælske prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu may draw up an interim peace agreement, which would give the Palestinians a temporary mode on a limited part of the West Bank.


But the Palestinians have already said they will not accept any agreement which does not include a permanent solution of all the so-called final status issues, including borders, Jerusalem and Palestinian refugees status.

Map of United Arab Emirates

United Arab Emirates (u.a.e.) is a Federation of seven States formed in 1971, the then Trucial States after independence from Britain.

After it has been quiet backwater, one of the most important financial centres in the Middle East.

Although each State-Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras al Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm al Qaiwain-maintains the independence to a large extent, the Uae is governed by the Supreme Council of rulers composed of seven emirs, who shall be appointed by the Prime Minister and the Government.

Before oil was discovered in 1950, the economy was dependent on the fishing activities in the u.a.e. and a decline in the pearling industry. But since 1962, when the Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates became the first country to begin exporting oil, the economy, society, and you want to convert.

The late Sheikh Zayed, Abu Dhabi ruler and the President of the UAE, at the inception of the industry was quick to seize the potential. He oversaw the development of all of the United Arab Emirates, and directed the oil revenue to health care, education and the national infrastructure.

The oil industry has attracted a lot of influx of foreign workers, who together with expatriates, now make up more than three quarters of the population.

But the UAE authorities attempted to reduce its dependency on oil by diversifying the economy booming exports, creating business, tourism, and construction sectors.
