UK, February 8, 2010 (Pal Telegraph) -This year saw an Israeli-US joint exercise "Juniper Cobra 10" take place off the coast of Israel which involved the IDF and the US Navy 6th Fleet. The purpose of the exercise was to participate in countering simulated attacks by ballistic, medium-range and short-range missiles and rockets by Iran on Israel.
As part of this build up the US Military has more than doubled its stockpile of weapons in Israel which it states "Israel can use." One would assume that just like the preparation in the build up to the Lebanon Crisis in 2006 and pre Cast Lead in 2008 that this is a very clear indication that both the US and Israel are preparing for a strike on the nuclear facilities in Iran. The US Navy already has a significant naval force in the Gulf and we are now seeing the slow deployment of Israeli Naval Vessels into the region. In order for the Israeli Navy to position to such a location it requires the permission of the Gulf States to enter their waters. One cannot fully understand how these Islamic States could allow Israeli vessels to transit their zone with the intention of carrying out an attack on another Islamic country (Iran). Nothing surprises me anymore when we saw those same states turn their back on Gaza and Palestine.
What I find amazing is that the UN and the world looks on without saying a word knowing that this action will probably take place as soon as the Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) is ready for operational use. The Pentagon has been applying extreme pressure on Boeing to bring forward the development and testing of this massive bomb by June 2010 almost two years ahead of intended operations. It may also be the US intention to make use of the Massive Ordnance Air Blast (MOAB) which was intended for use in Iraq and Afghanistan.
It is my understand that this is not just a simple action, to take out nuclear facilities, but rather an extremely dangerous situation that could not only lead to a major action or war but also cause catastrophic radiation contamination of the entire Middle East and the World. I will cover the environmental aspect in Part 2 followed by the Part 3 which will cover the economic damage that such action would cause to the UK and EU economies.
Militarily speaking this possible strike can erupt into a full scale war based on the proviso that if Israel and the US attack Iran that would be considered an act of war resulting in retaliatory action by the Iranian on Israeli and US targets. Make no bones about it Iran has a significant high tech military that can cause much damage on the invaders and once that step has been taken the US would then carry out further attacks resulting in War. My guess would be this is what the US, UK and NATO countries really want, which is a regime change......heard that before in Iraq and Afghanistan?
With the new NATO ground rules clearly in place "An attack on one is an attack on all" or what has recently been added to the rules "An attack on any military facility, oil/gas facility, pipeline or any other commercial entity is an attack on all" we can, as usual, see how the US can carefully manipulate this action into a total NATO involvement or should I say a possible WW3. I must emphasize that any such action by the US and Israel would be totally irresponsible leading to the possible death of millions of people in the region.
So lets again look at this very dangerous and complicated military scenario that is starting to unfold and fully understand who has to be involved in carrying out such an attack and the risks associated with its implementation.
First of all this type of operation is pushing the safety envelope of the Israeli Air Force to its maximum and can only be achieved with the involvement of the US Military. None of the existing IAF aircraft can make such a long range flight without transiting other Islamic States, stopping for fuel or in having in flight refueling provided by the US. The massive US fed munitions stockpile currently in Israel would be utilized by the IAF and they would have to take maximum weapons payload with minimum fuel. This mission would test both aircraft and their crews to the maximum with the main purpose of delivering their deadly payload to target and with no room to detour or carry out a defensive role if attacked by any Iranian aircraft. It would clearly mean that some of the Israeli aircraft would not return as a result of this high risk operation.
The weapons stockpiled by the US in Israel also contain weapons with uranium components such as "Bunker Buster" etc and the combination of such weapons hitting a nuclear facility would lead to terrible consequences in the Middle East. Then we have the question of the MOP which is specifically being tested for use in Iran. This bomb has the potential to not only call catastrophic damage but also has the ability to set off earthquakes in the region. All of the above weapons in that context could be classified as WMD's and are totally indiscriminate in their application and thus are in breach of the Geneva Convention as well as breaching many other international laws. We have heard rumours that such weapons as the MOP and other penetrating type weapons could have triggered the earthquakes in California and also Haiti. Any weapon of this size when it enters the earth crust sends huge shockwaves deep into the earth and should this be in an area of existing rifts the resultant aftermath is self explanatory.
Let's now look at this evil bomb currently under test in the US. The MOP is around 20.5 feet long and a total weight of just under 30,000lbs. The weapon carries 5,300lbs of explosives. It is carried aboard a US Air Force B-2 Bomber and is guided to its target by its onboard global positioning navigation system.
Reader will note that the only aircraft capable of carrying this weapon is the USAF B-2 Stealth Bomber and therefore if Israel attacks Iran (which is what the US wants them to do) then the US will definitely be involved in the delivery of this bomb. The B-2 will be able to carry two MOP's and thus would be a prime target to attack as it approached Iranian airspace. The B-2 would fly at high altitude and release the weapons some distance from target.
It is also my belief that whilst Israel and the US are on a war footing they may also possible carry out strikes on Gaza, Lebanon and Syria during 2010. As with all conflicts the whole purpose is to divide and conquer and Israel is right in the middle of a very unstable area. Should they choose to carry out such action I am sure this could well see the end of Israel.
Part 2 of this series will cover the environmental aspect of such an attack. It will show how the catastrophic fallout will initially consume the entire Middle East from Turkey - Afghanistan - Pakistan - India and from North of the Caspian Sea to the Gulf of Aden. Armenia - Georgia - Azerbaijan - Turkmenistan - Uzbekistan -Tajikistan - Kyrgyzstan - China - Nepal - Syria - Iraq - Kuwait - Saudi Arabia - Bahrain - Lebanon - Israel - Palestine - Jordan - Egypt - Qatar - UAE - Oman - Yemen. Not one country in the Middle East will be spared.
All of this contamination will take place within the first couple of days and within 7-10 days will be around the world.
I ask the UN, UK, EU, Russia, China, Japan and all of the above countries to address this problem with the utmost urgency and ensure that the US and Israel do not attack Iran and that diplomacy without threat is the only way to come to some compromise. Maybe if the US and the rest of the world applied the same pressure on Israel as they do on Iran we may see fair play. Surely if Israel has unlimited and uncontrolled nuclear capabilities they would be considered a threat to the Islamic world so common sense must prevail here. As it stands at the moment it is just pure US/Israeli aggression as we have seen so many times before.
Keep watching this space for the horrific details of Part 2 - Environmental Impact of such action.

The propaganda and failure of all inquires and tribunals
It is with disgust that I read yet again another disturbing article emanating out of the corridors of the United Nations. Ban Ki-moon passed comment on the responses from Israel and the Palestinian Authority on the behavior of Israeli soldiers and Palestinian militants. The two reports received by the UN were as a direct result of the demands set down in resolution 192-nation assembly which was approved in November 2009.
I note with interest the emphasis on Israeli soldiers behavior during the conflict which would indicate that a couple of insignificant soldiers are likely to be punished for their part in the conflict (lambs to the slaughter) but no mention of the Israeli Government, Minister of Defence, Chiefs of Staff or Senior Unit Commanders.
I also found it alarming that once again reference was made of the Goldstone Report which highlighted that the Israeli army and Palestinian militants committed war crimes during the conflict from late December 2008 to mid-January 2009 but was this statement correct and what right did the Secretary General have to voice his own opinion. Naturally in conflict individuals do carry out violations of the Geneva Convention but one cannot bypass the fact that all of those listed in the above paragraph are themselves implicated in all the violations that were listed in the Goldstone Report but they never get a mention. I again ask the question why are senior figures such as Bush, Blair, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Reid, Hoon and many others exempt from trial?
The report fell short of the more serious crime, that of genocide, and did not pursue the many other violations that were not covered. White Phosphorus (WP), as and example, was more of a slap on the back of the hand, Flachette and DIME weapons were totally forgotten and the question of weapons containing uranium components was totally swept under the carpet.
How can the Secretary General be critical of Israel and Palestine when his own inquiry was a total cover up? I would also ask how anyone can pursue their own internal inquiry when they intentionally target a couple of insignificant individuals who were probable only acting on the orders of higher authority.
Again we saw Ban Ki-moon initially condemn the shelling of the UN compound but said nothing about the remainder of Gaza, we saw him pursue compensation from the Israeli Government but nothing for the people of Gaza. Only this week we saw him draw reference to the firing of WP on the compound but said nothing about the rest of Gaza or the other terrible weapons used.
We have seen one inquiry after another but nothing comes out of these hearings. We continuously see those giving evidence flaunting their arrogance and repeating the same cliché that given the information available at the time they would still arrive at the same decision.
I noticed with some amazement as to how Ann Clwyd so tactically manipulated the inquiry. Again we saw such wonderful accounts of her visit to Iran and how they provided her with a helicopter to fly over a long line of Kurdish refugees who put their fingers to their mouths to show they wanted food. It’s incredible how much detail she saw from altitude and how she changed this inquiry into a sort of compassionate story. Reference was also given to the fact that soil samples revealed the use of chemicals. Again no reference to the US and UK use of WMD’s (weapons containing uranium) or the fact that soil samples have also been recovered revealing traces of both DU/EU. Then we had Reid talking about the fact that whilst he was Minister of Defence the armed forces had everything they needed in defiance of all those who said that we did not. Numerous references have been made by those giving evidence at the existence of chemicals held by Saddam and their usage on the Kurds in Halajaba. Again we missed out on an opportunity to explain that the Chemicals and training know how was provided by the west. They were first intended and used by Iraq against Iran during the 1980-1988 with the full support of the US and UK Governments and many other countries were also implicated.
What is totally unacceptable was the fact that the war in Iraq was planned months ahead of 9/11 and they just needed an excuse to justify it. The same with Afghanistan which was planned months before 9/11. Now we have the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan with far greater usage of WMD’s than Iraq. It is easy to see that really the “Axis of Evil” lies within the governments of those involved.
This week saw another classic comment from the US Government who suggested that Israel should ease the blockade of Gaza to help counter the fallout from the Goldstone report on alleged war crimes during Operation Cast Lead a year ago.
First of all I would like to change the word alledged into committed and what exactly was this comment implying? Does the US think that relieving some aspects of the blockade will help the people of Gaza forget the genocidal attack? It would have been more appropriate for the US and other governments to put forward a proposal to put UN Peacekeepers (Blue Helmets no Combat Troops) into Gaza and West Bank on all side of the border and lift the blockade permanently.
There appears to be a growing movement to form tribunals such as the one in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal) and now another one in London (Russell Tribunal on Palestine). I am sure that people who make such an effort have good intentions but from my perspective all past and current inquiries and tribunals fizzle out without a constructive verdict or decisive recommendations being made. If those that lied or those that committed horrendous crimes are not cross examined by a panel that know and fully understand what actually happened in Iraq, Afghanistan or Gaza then how can they qualify to ask the correct questions.
It makes me feel sick inside to listen to these hearings and tribunals talk about such thinks as Cluster Bombs or White Phosphorus as being the only issue when in actual fact this to all intents and purposes was the lesser of the many other crimes committed. It always appears to be a slap on the hand for those committing the crimes along with such regrettable comments that hopefully we will learn from the mistakes made.
My question to the Russell Tribunal on Palestine would be why are you not following the very principle that Bertram Russell instigated all those years ago in bringing to justice all those that have violated treaties or who have carried out war crimes. Bertram Russell’s justification was “If certain acts and violations of treaties are crimes, they are crimes whether the United States does them or whether Germany does them. We are not prepared to lay down a rule of criminal conduct against others which we would not be willing to have invoked against us.”
Not one inquiry or tribunal has pursued those responsible for using WMD’s in the Balkans, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Gaza and now Pakistan. Any country or leader who authorizes the use of weapons that contains uranium components is guilty of an extremely serious war crime. It is of concern that the following announcement was made by the Russell Tribunal on Palestine when they announced the following “Unlike the preceding Tribunals, the aim in this case is not to denounce a perpetrator of the violations, since that has already been done, for instance by the International Court of Justice in The Hague in its Advisory Opinion of 9 July 2004, which is endowed with considerable legal force.”
Unfortunately this statement was not correct as to date the question of bringing to justice those responsible for using weapons containing uranium components (WMD’s) have never been under investigation or reached the level of a trial. In this context it is my own opinion that the globe trotting currently being carried out by the Tribunal to Brussels, Barcelona, Latin American is not only a waste of time and money it will not address the real issue, which is that of mass genocide, therefore this Tribunal falls well short of becoming effective.
It is now time for the Palestinians themselves to form their own Tribunal and address the more serious war crimes that up to this time have been swept under the carpet. The Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal is as close as one can get in addressing the real issues but even this tribunal does not address the topic of WMD. When one adds to this the rape of the countries oil and gas resources by Israel, the decimation of the Gaza Fishing Industry and all the horrific illegal weapons used by Israel one can clearly see that no one is truly pursuing the crime of genocide or in pursuing any legal aspect regarding Israel’s daily harassment and humiliation of the people of Palestine
I have myself formulated how such a Palestinian Tribunal could be formed and what aspects should be address by way of an initial hearing followed by a full Tribunal by International Lawyers. One of the most critical issues here is who is brave enough to weather the storm that would erupt from such a vital tribunal? How many good quality international lawyers (including Islamic lawyers) would be prepared to come forward and sit on a tribunal panel? Who from the Islamic world or the international corporate sector would help fund such a bold venture? I myself could certainly put it all together and be happy to bring those to justice that have violated the Geneva Convention. We are talking here about multiple incidents of mass genocide. The best place to carry out such a hearing would be in London and I feel confident that I can bring in enough victims and witnesses to make the case almost 100% concrete.
The Tribunal would be formed to address all legal issues pertaining to Palestine and its people both within Palestine and Palestinians who are now living overseas as Asylum Seekers or Refuges….basically the entire Palestinian Diaspora. It purpose would be to strengthen the Palestinian Authority from the outside and to deal with all legal issues concerning War Crimes and Breaches of Human Rights on Palestinian within and outside of Palestine, International Border Disputes and Clarification, Natural Resources Identification and Ownership, The pursuit of Sovereignty by way of the United Nations without interference from Israel the US, UK and other Pro Israel Countries within the EU, Identification of weapons used during the conflict, and daily violations by Israel of the Geneva Convention.
It is time that we the citizens of the world implemented such an action as it is blatantly obvious that the UN. ICJ, ICC, ECHR and many other legal bodies do not wish to pursue the more serious crimes, challenge the Israeli authority both locally and internationally or take on countries that violate their own guidelines in relation to the export of arms to Israel. It should also be challenged via an international court as to why such countries as Israel are allowed to carry out development of WMD’s without any comment from the UN, US, UK, EU and other countries. This aspect alone makes the Non- Proliferation Treat a joke when they have in the past applied tremendous pressure on India, Pakistan, North Korea and Iran but say nothing about Israel or anyone else who continues to develop and use WMD’s.
So if there are any brave potential participants that would wish to formulate such a tribunal please contact the Palestine Telegraph and together we can for the first time in current history challenge the flawed and corrupt international legal system that exists to this day. This would directly challenge such authorities as the UNEP and WHO on their past and current methods of determining what constitutes a WMD and where they have been used and the dangers that up to the current time have been hidden from the world’s public. One example being the extensive past and current usage of weapons containing uranium components in the Balkans, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Gaza, Pakistan and now possible Somalia and Yemen.
I am sure you would all agree that this would be a wonderful opportunity to reclaim our dignity and pride in bringing true justice back into play and at the same time have the distinct possibility to prohibit any weapon from containing uranium components. There are millions of people around the world that have become victim to DU/EU weapons and we owe this to all of them
Are you an International Lawyer and willing to take part in such a venture or are you from the Corporate Sector and willing to financially support this meaningful act for humankind……….Go on I dare you!!!!

Israel receives an accolade from the US as being responsible!
It was fascinating to read what U.S. National Security Adviser Jim Jones said at a recent press conference that “Israel’s conduct was responsible” and United States and Israel are in close coordination over how to handle Iran. "We have very good dialogue with Israel, continual dialogue," he told The Jerusalem Post. "We're working very closely with them." When haven’t they I might ask? So there we have it Israel has received a “Gold Medal” for being responsible, and Obama has been awarded the “Nobel Peace Prize” for spreading uranium aerosols around our planet and killing thousands if not millions of coalition troops and innocent civilians. I think some other award will be forthcoming for Olmert, Barak, Livni and many others for their service to mankind. There’s nothing better than slapping yourself on the back as they say!
I read another article the other day reporting that the big boys clubs (UN Security Council) have been negotiating with Iran in an attempt to break the nuclear standoff. What is fascinating here is the fact that when Obama and Brown appeared on the stage to voice their objection to Iran’s attitude they also invited Sarkosi onto the stage to re enforce their argument and also stated that Germany was also in full support….I think this group should be given the title of the G3.5. Now we again see a similar situation whereby the five permanent Security Council members -- the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China are deeply involved in planning the next round of sanctions on Iraq and again included Germany so maybe we can give them a tag also and call them the G5.5. It is obvious that the US and UK desperately need the French and Germans on their side in any further decision making in order to improve the slight rift that currently exists.
As we already know Iran rejects Western charges that its nuclear program has military designs, and has vowed to retaliate with ballistic missiles for any strikes on its facilities by Israel and rightfully so. We again see the US, UK and NATO countries passing gratitude for Israel’s tolerance on this issue but turn their backs on Israel’s own nuclear arsenal and continued manufacturing of WMD’s. As we have already found out the US has been doubling its own munitions stockpile in Israel. This arsenal belongs to the US but they have clearly emphasised that Israel can use any of the weapons in order to fulfil its own defence and needs. This is a clear sign of deceitful arms dealing with the ability to bypass US Congress.
It is also a clear sign of preparation for an attack on Iran and maybe more strikes in Syria, Lebanon and Gaza. It is very clear that the US is not only standing alongside Israel but also cooperation every step of the way. Obviously increased sanctions will be the next step followed by military action. We are still waiting for the completion of the US weapons testing of the new Massive Air Penetrator (MAP) which is expected to be ready by June and then basically they will be set to carry out a strike with the other WMD’s that are stockpiled in Israel. No doubt the Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB) will also get some usage this year in Afghanistan as part of the next surge and could also be used in Iran
I would like to make it very clear that Israel cannot pull this off by themselves without US assistance. Any such planned attack by Israel is pushing the safety envelope of their fighters which cannot make the target area direct. The US would have to approve any such attack and almost certainly would be involved in providing spy satellite data, in flight refuelling, clearance into certain zones and also in the delivery of the MAP itself. Basically if Israel attacked Iran it would be a joint attack.
This week also saw the assassination of a leading Hamas figure in Dubai and obviously this was the work of Mossad. The Israeli Government has made it very clear that he was an arms dealer. So what, you may say…..at the end of the day he was responsible for obtaining arms for a legal entity and if any international laws were broken then one would assume such people could be dealt with through the normal legal system. This assassination by Mossad or even possible the CIA can only be put down to a “Political Assassination”….maybe someone should use the same philosophy on the many people in the US who deal in arms to Israel…..hey but that’s different!
The whole region is becoming a hot bed of activity and Israel (the new super power) is right in there with Mossad operatives in Somalia, Yemen, Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. One should also give mention to RAW, which is the Indian Foreign Intelligence Agency also implicated in some clandestine operations. One could go on further to say they are all basically partners in crime. I can also tell you on some of my trips to Iraq that Mossad also enjoyed the same exposure there. I found myself amongst one of them who really did not cover his identify very well at all. He used totally irrelevant spin about what he was doing in Iraq but what he didn’t know was the fact that I knew the project he was talking about. He also didn’t notice that I took his name tag off his baggage whilst talking and also observed where he was staying….dare I say almost living next door to a local official…….I wonder why?
We see almost daily articles now about Yemen and that famous duo of Obama and Clinton continuously applying pressure on the government to take control of this fictitious Al Qaeda threat. The Detroit incident was a Mossad/CIA/RAW trick to attempt to cause panic both in the US and UK and it clearly did the trick. The greatest threat in Yemen is the existence of US Special Forces, Mossad and CIA operatives who only wish to destabilise the country as they have done successfully in Pakistan, Somalia, India and now Yemen.
Realistically speaking we now have the potential for a major conflict in the Middle East (Iran) with both the US and Israel sowing the seeds for what could only be described as a major catastrophe should such an attack take place. We also see friction between Pakistan and India over Kashmir and the US again applying pressure to North Korea. One could also add that the US is fuelling the unrest with Russia by not being sincere with them about its missile defence system. To add more fuel to the existing fire the US has recently awarded military aid to Taiwan which is a very sensitive issue with China.
If war does become the option with Iran it will certainly bring much economic growth to the US in defence exports and also adds a dramatic rise in the price of oil. It was interesting to read that BP was disappointed with its profits for the current quarter even though the profits were still good. It is common knowledge that US and UK leaders always look for such trouble when their economy is suffering or if their popularity is at an all time low. Such a nice thought don’t you think?
Obama keeps repeating his stance against Iran and continues re enforcing his support for Israel. How can anyone call such a nation responsible when they used such disproportionate force on such a densely populated area? How can you call Israel responsible when it used Gaza as a test bed for illegal weapons that had been exported by the US? How can you call Israel responsible when it blasted the entire Gaza strip with weapons containing uranium components? How can you call Israel responsible when it contaminated its own soldiers and its own population with radioactive aerosols?
Now we have Obama’s Christian and Jewish Zionist supporters giving him an encore at his State of the Nation address when he told the people that he will give them clean energy and launch a major programme of “Nuclear Power” stations and also develop “Clean Coal”…..that means much more depleted uranium and associates weapons and the use of coal which is not environmentally friendly. So much for Global Warming which is another farce.
Israel is totally irresponsible and so is the US for giving them the tools to carry out this evil act of genocide. It is worth noting that the International Court of Justice is still contemplating whether to charge the current President of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir with genocide but no mention of Bush, Blair, Obama, Blair, Olmert and Netenyahu…..the list is endless
Peter Eyre – Middle East Consultant – 2/2/2010
I read another article the other day reporting that the big boys clubs (UN Security Council) have been negotiating with Iran in an attempt to break the nuclear standoff. What is fascinating here is the fact that when Obama and Brown appeared on the stage to voice their objection to Iran’s attitude they also invited Sarkosi onto the stage to re enforce their argument and also stated that Germany was also in full support….I think this group should be given the title of the G3.5. Now we again see a similar situation whereby the five permanent Security Council members -- the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China are deeply involved in planning the next round of sanctions on Iraq and again included Germany so maybe we can give them a tag also and call them the G5.5. It is obvious that the US and UK desperately need the French and Germans on their side in any further decision making in order to improve the slight rift that currently exists.
As we already know Iran rejects Western charges that its nuclear program has military designs, and has vowed to retaliate with ballistic missiles for any strikes on its facilities by Israel and rightfully so. We again see the US, UK and NATO countries passing gratitude for Israel’s tolerance on this issue but turn their backs on Israel’s own nuclear arsenal and continued manufacturing of WMD’s. As we have already found out the US has been doubling its own munitions stockpile in Israel. This arsenal belongs to the US but they have clearly emphasised that Israel can use any of the weapons in order to fulfil its own defence and needs. This is a clear sign of deceitful arms dealing with the ability to bypass US Congress.
It is also a clear sign of preparation for an attack on Iran and maybe more strikes in Syria, Lebanon and Gaza. It is very clear that the US is not only standing alongside Israel but also cooperation every step of the way. Obviously increased sanctions will be the next step followed by military action. We are still waiting for the completion of the US weapons testing of the new Massive Air Penetrator (MAP) which is expected to be ready by June and then basically they will be set to carry out a strike with the other WMD’s that are stockpiled in Israel. No doubt the Massive Ordnance Air Blast Bomb (MOAB) will also get some usage this year in Afghanistan as part of the next surge and could also be used in Iran
I would like to make it very clear that Israel cannot pull this off by themselves without US assistance. Any such planned attack by Israel is pushing the safety envelope of their fighters which cannot make the target area direct. The US would have to approve any such attack and almost certainly would be involved in providing spy satellite data, in flight refuelling, clearance into certain zones and also in the delivery of the MAP itself. Basically if Israel attacked Iran it would be a joint attack.
This week also saw the assassination of a leading Hamas figure in Dubai and obviously this was the work of Mossad. The Israeli Government has made it very clear that he was an arms dealer. So what, you may say…..at the end of the day he was responsible for obtaining arms for a legal entity and if any international laws were broken then one would assume such people could be dealt with through the normal legal system. This assassination by Mossad or even possible the CIA can only be put down to a “Political Assassination”….maybe someone should use the same philosophy on the many people in the US who deal in arms to Israel…..hey but that’s different!
The whole region is becoming a hot bed of activity and Israel (the new super power) is right in there with Mossad operatives in Somalia, Yemen, Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. One should also give mention to RAW, which is the Indian Foreign Intelligence Agency also implicated in some clandestine operations. One could go on further to say they are all basically partners in crime. I can also tell you on some of my trips to Iraq that Mossad also enjoyed the same exposure there. I found myself amongst one of them who really did not cover his identify very well at all. He used totally irrelevant spin about what he was doing in Iraq but what he didn’t know was the fact that I knew the project he was talking about. He also didn’t notice that I took his name tag off his baggage whilst talking and also observed where he was staying….dare I say almost living next door to a local official…….I wonder why?
We see almost daily articles now about Yemen and that famous duo of Obama and Clinton continuously applying pressure on the government to take control of this fictitious Al Qaeda threat. The Detroit incident was a Mossad/CIA/RAW trick to attempt to cause panic both in the US and UK and it clearly did the trick. The greatest threat in Yemen is the existence of US Special Forces, Mossad and CIA operatives who only wish to destabilise the country as they have done successfully in Pakistan, Somalia, India and now Yemen.
Realistically speaking we now have the potential for a major conflict in the Middle East (Iran) with both the US and Israel sowing the seeds for what could only be described as a major catastrophe should such an attack take place. We also see friction between Pakistan and India over Kashmir and the US again applying pressure to North Korea. One could also add that the US is fuelling the unrest with Russia by not being sincere with them about its missile defence system. To add more fuel to the existing fire the US has recently awarded military aid to Taiwan which is a very sensitive issue with China.

Israel receives an accolade from the US as being responsible!
It was fascinating to read what U.S. National Security Adviser Jim Jones said at a recent press conference that “Israel’s conduct was responsible” and United States and Israel are in close coordination over how to handle Iran. "We have very good dialogue with Israel, continual dialogue," he told The Jerusalem Post. "We're working very closely with them." When haven’t they I might ask? So there we have it Israel has received a “Gold Medal” for being responsible, and Obama has been awarded the “Nobel Peace Prize” for spreading uranium aerosols around our planet and killing thousands if not millions of coalition troops and innocent civilians. I think some other award will be forthcoming for Olmert, Barak, Livni and many others for their service to mankind. There’s nothing better than slapping yourself on the back as they say!

Blair comes out clean with no regrets
We, the public, expected more from this Iraq Inquiry especially on that special day when Tony Blair appeared before the panel. I am sure that we are all now totally devastated when we heard what appeared to be an array of well orchestrated question. As one would expect the response was as if Blair knew the questions to be asked of him and had carefully selected his response.
Throughout the day he didn’t blink and eyelid or show any remorse and very clearly indicated that he had no regrets. He again repeated that given the facts presented to him he would have made the same decision. What was apparently well concealed was the fact that on a previous interview he had said that if there were no WMD’s he would have still made the decision to go into Iraq i.e. a regime change.
We all know that after his last visit to see Bush it was clear that a decision had been made for a regime change but as one would expect he again brushed over this extremely well in his response. I found the panel were rather soft on him and even diverted from time to time on the Afghanistan, Iran and Palestinian issues that were totally irrelevant to the inquiry. I found Blair to come across with a well rehearsed list of responses that I am sure were formulated by his wife but at the same time showed a certain amount of arrogance in standing his ground in defence of the decisions he had made.
What became apparent throughout the cross examination was this over emphasis that on the information that was presented to him, Iraq had WMD’s or could have been in a position to use chemical or biological means. What Blair and other world leader tend to forget is that during the time when the west had good relations with Saddam, the US gave them the chemicals and the ability to use them. If we cast our minds back to the Iraq – Iran conflict we can see the very reason why the US did this.
It was during Ronal Reagan’s term in office that the New York Times reported:
Than in the 1980s, the administration of US President Ronald Reagan covertly provided "critical battle planning assistance at a time when American intelligence knew that Iraqi commanders would employ chemical weapons in waging the decisive battles of the Iran-Iraq war. The article went on to say: Ronald Reagan turned a blind-eye to the Hussein regime's repeated use of chemical weapons against Iranian soldiers and Iraq's Kurdish minority and also the fact that the US helped Iraq develop its chemical, biological and nuclear weapons programs.
This event became known as "Iraqgate” and is uniquely horrendous: a scandal about the systematic abuse of power by misguided leaders of three democratic nations (the US, Britain and Italy) to secretly finance the arms buildup of a dictator". This whole pattern started with Reagan and passed down the line to every US President up to and including both the Bush’s. Obama is now showing signs of “Business as usual” which is rather sad when one considers the hope that he portrayed to the people who elected him. He may well prove to be the worst President on record……even within his first year in office he has reversed most of what he promised.
It is with horror that one learns of such sinister plans and to think that the Kurds think so highly of the US who ultimately created and assisted in the terrible genocide that took place at Halabja in Kurdistan. Even to this day the US stand side by side with the Kurds in remembering this event when they were directly implicated in their genocide. Add to this that the weapons used by US, UK and NATO forces in Iraq and now in Afghanistan are killing people in mass, not only in the areas where they were used but in other far reaching corners of the globe.
When you see the smugness of Blair sitting there and talking about the reasons why one has to take action against any country that have the potential to manufacture and use WMD’s it makes you feel acutely sick. He repeated at the inquiry about Iran and North Korea situation or the fact that any country must be stopped from creating such weapons and yet the US, UK (under his orders) and other NATO countries used WMD’s themselves in the Balkans, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and now Yemen and Somalia. One can clearly see the hypocrisy and lies that radiate from the governments and leaders of today. When Blair talked about Iran and North Korea this is exactly the same tactic used by Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Obama and Brown. It is to only stir up hysteria within the US and UK in order to get the public on their side to carry out justifiable actions.
Blair points fingers at many regimes on this issue but does not point a finger at himself the US or other NATO countries……lets also add Israel to the list because they have a huge stockpile of WMD’s and also design and manufacture their own arsenal in addition to the stockpile sent over by the US. It is clear that in doubling the existing stockpile the US and Israel are setting up the logistical support for attacks on Iran, Lebanon and Gaza with a possible strike on Syria. It is also clear that the US and Israel want to divide the Middle East in order to conquer it…..these are old and very effective tactics that have existed throughout history.
What is amazing about this inquiry is that fact that the real issues of not only the reasons for going to war but also the weapons use by coalition forces really does constitute an horrendous war crime at the highest level. To kill your own troops and thousands if not millions of innocent civilians in such areas of conflict and beyond is in despicable.
Basically this hearing and the Goldstone report is a pathetic sham. Both avoid the real issues of these conflicts and the men in power or who hold senior positions that implicate them in such matters sit snug and get away with what can only be called “Mass Genocide.” It was so sad when the Chair addressed Blair and said that we must all bear in mind the public outrage of these events and the fact that many families of the soldiers that made the ultimate sacrifice are in this room, do you have any regrets. He responded by saying he did not……at that stage someone in the room shouted something and the Chair quickly silenced the person concerned….it was obvious to me that such a response would enrage anyone who had lost a loved one in this manner.
Soon we will see Gordon Brown front up to the same gang of ineffectual experts, all of whom do not have the slightest idea of the issues involved, military application of weapons used or their devastating effects on innocent victims. We will see a Prime Minster who will concur with all the other cronies that gave such false evidence and will leave the room totally free of any guilt. So I ask the question where does does justice exist or does it exist at all. I am sure this hearing may turn over a few loose stones and one could realistically see the down fall of some small time administrative official or research clerk and if we are lucky maybe one of the Prime Minister Senior Advisers or even maybe someone from MI5/6….either way the elite group who have told lie after lie will get away with, dare I say “Blue Murder” or “Mass Genocide.” It is normal for such members of the “Rogue Gallery” to achieve celebrity status and go on to make much money. Blair is a classic example of this….he took us into a false war; he knowingly allowed our military to use WMD’s and now he lives in a country palace and can earn 2,000 pounds a minute on talking about it. We truly have to hang our head in shame to allow our country to fall to such a low level of existence.
Perhaps it would also be a good opportunity to talk about that dear man who basically knew too much, Dr David Kelly - United Nations weapons inspector. Everyone knew that Dr Kelly had vital information that was relevant to the war on Iraq and had that information been allowed to leak out it could have terrible consequences for key members of government (Including Tony Blair) and the Labour Party in general. This poor man was in my opinion taunted mentally and physically assassinated.
Dr Kelly had been interviewed by a well known reporter who had told him that the dossier that was released by the government in September 2002 had been beefed up and that paragraphs had been added to the original dossier that were false! Dr Kelly drew reference to one of those paragraphs “the insertion of the 45-minute claim.” What came out of this interview and other reports was that Alastair Campbell had specifically been implicated in added to this dossier.
As I have said so many times before I find it disgusting that people in high places can carry out horrendous crimes, manage to leave office discretely and end up writing books about their former leader or become leading celebrities for the rest of their lives instead of rotting in a prison where they belong. Alalstair Campbell certainly fits perfectly into this category as well as a long list of senior political figures. It is beyond a shadow of doubt that from the top of the list, the Prime Minister, all these very senior politicians are implicated in the deaths of thousands of troops and millions of innocent civilians. This is direct and indirect genocide on a grand scale. The notorious Geoff Hoon named Kelly as the person who had spoken to a reporter, which then put Kelly under tremendous pressure? Geoff Hoon, the then Defence Secretary, had by now hung out his dirty washing, as we have seen so many times before and carried on his career dodging other major blunders that had caused the unnecessary deaths of our troops.
As we know after Dr Kelly’s body was found an inquiry took place headed by Lord Hutton. To this day many doctors (around 13 of them) have challenged the verdict given over the circumstances of his death and to this day continue to repeat “that it would have been impossible for Dr Kelly to carry out this act”. The whole scenario is plagued with suspicion and the government will not allow the body to be exhumed for re examination. Lord Hutton himself has suppressed the medical examination report and the post mortem for a period of 70 years and one must certainly ask the question “what is so secretive about a routine medical examination and post mortem report”? Why was this suppressed just before Tony Blair was interview? One can see that this goes well beyond a conspiracy!
The actress and former minister Glenda Jackson called for the resignation of Tony Blair and that Geoff Hoon should also consider his future. The illustrious and famous Peter Mandelson (a Blair Minister at the time) also applied his spin.
It became obvious that the government of the day was covering up what can only be described as an arranged assassination of Dr Kelly.
Now that Tony Blair has defended his actions with such tenacity and that Gordon Brown had rigged the entire event, it is very easy to see that this inquiry is going nowhere and that our failed current leader is clutching at straws for his own survival.
This government, its past and current leader, its past and current ministers are certainly implicated in genocide by their creation of “False Flag” wars in the Balkan, Iraq, Afghanistan and now Pakistan. Soon we will be adding Iran and Yemen to the list with the US and Israel urgently pushing for action. I again ask the same question “where is the true axis of evil”…..I can assure you it is not on some far away Islamic land but right here on our doorstep.
We must fully understand that behind our governments are the true manipulators and war mongers who fuel this evil, especially those that fund our political figures into taking office. They do this in such an open manner and yet we the public do not even notice it is going on. They effectively change policies in favour of their own hidden agenda and the key to the door is held by all those listed below. This is truly the headquarters of the “Axis of Evil”.
Finally we now see pressure being applied to the Secretary General of the UN to drop the Goldstone Report” which in itself is a sham anyway. Now we can see the true colours of imperialism at its best and economic greed at a level that can only be described as the true “Axis of Evil”…..one can only hope and pray that the term “What goes around comes around” eventually catches up with the “New World Order” and that these terrible people and organisation that control the international banking elite fall by the wayside, namely: the Bilderberg Group, Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Windsor’s (Royal Family) and the City of London. the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Council for National Policy (CNP), the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Freemasons, The Trilateral Commission, Chatham House the list is endless.
Its is truly time for the people to take back their countries, especially during the run up to elections. The biggest issue is who do you vote for……I guess the answer is no one…..it reality we are probable better voting for an independent who can add new blood to governments and possibly challenge the philosophy of the current elite. The final question would have to be….Will we ever see justice? The answer is simply no, unless you the public wake up and start asking questions about 9/11 and so many other incidents that show many grey crowds and just simply do not add up.
Oh before I forget……do you think the opposition is a better choice at the
forthcoming election?..... Forget it!......remember those words used by David Cameron some time ago in response to Brown’s quote “Education, Education, Education” when Cameron said “Afghanistan, Afghanistan, Afghanistan.” As you can see our world is well and truly screwed up with Obama being the icing on the cake. I once participated in a management course when they talked about “an inverted triangle policy.” As we would all be aware, normal companies are run from the top down i.e. Director, Manager, Supervisor, Team Leader, Worker and Office Cleaner. Would anyone ever use the inverted triangle method and turn it all upside down?......someone once said “How do you know what time it is on the shop floor if you don’t go down and see how it ticks”? It certainly is time for the citizens of our respective countries to turn the policy upside down and take control of our destiny.
Peter Eyre – Middle East Consultant - 31/1/2010
Throughout the day he didn’t blink and eyelid or show any remorse and very clearly indicated that he had no regrets. He again repeated that given the facts presented to him he would have made the same decision. What was apparently well concealed was the fact that on a previous interview he had said that if there were no WMD’s he would have still made the decision to go into Iraq i.e. a regime change.
We all know that after his last visit to see Bush it was clear that a decision had been made for a regime change but as one would expect he again brushed over this extremely well in his response. I found the panel were rather soft on him and even diverted from time to time on the Afghanistan, Iran and Palestinian issues that were totally irrelevant to the inquiry. I found Blair to come across with a well rehearsed list of responses that I am sure were formulated by his wife but at the same time showed a certain amount of arrogance in standing his ground in defence of the decisions he had made.
What became apparent throughout the cross examination was this over emphasis that on the information that was presented to him, Iraq had WMD’s or could have been in a position to use chemical or biological means. What Blair and other world leader tend to forget is that during the time when the west had good relations with Saddam, the US gave them the chemicals and the ability to use them. If we cast our minds back to the Iraq – Iran conflict we can see the very reason why the US did this.
It was during Ronal Reagan’s term in office that the New York Times reported:
Than in the 1980s, the administration of US President Ronald Reagan covertly provided "critical battle planning assistance at a time when American intelligence knew that Iraqi commanders would employ chemical weapons in waging the decisive battles of the Iran-Iraq war. The article went on to say: Ronald Reagan turned a blind-eye to the Hussein regime's repeated use of chemical weapons against Iranian soldiers and Iraq's Kurdish minority and also the fact that the US helped Iraq develop its chemical, biological and nuclear weapons programs.
This event became known as "Iraqgate” and is uniquely horrendous: a scandal about the systematic abuse of power by misguided leaders of three democratic nations (the US, Britain and Italy) to secretly finance the arms buildup of a dictator". This whole pattern started with Reagan and passed down the line to every US President up to and including both the Bush’s. Obama is now showing signs of “Business as usual” which is rather sad when one considers the hope that he portrayed to the people who elected him. He may well prove to be the worst President on record……even within his first year in office he has reversed most of what he promised.
It is with horror that one learns of such sinister plans and to think that the Kurds think so highly of the US who ultimately created and assisted in the terrible genocide that took place at Halabja in Kurdistan. Even to this day the US stand side by side with the Kurds in remembering this event when they were directly implicated in their genocide. Add to this that the weapons used by US, UK and NATO forces in Iraq and now in Afghanistan are killing people in mass, not only in the areas where they were used but in other far reaching corners of the globe.
When you see the smugness of Blair sitting there and talking about the reasons why one has to take action against any country that have the potential to manufacture and use WMD’s it makes you feel acutely sick. He repeated at the inquiry about Iran and North Korea situation or the fact that any country must be stopped from creating such weapons and yet the US, UK (under his orders) and other NATO countries used WMD’s themselves in the Balkans, Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and now Yemen and Somalia. One can clearly see the hypocrisy and lies that radiate from the governments and leaders of today. When Blair talked about Iran and North Korea this is exactly the same tactic used by Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Obama and Brown. It is to only stir up hysteria within the US and UK in order to get the public on their side to carry out justifiable actions.
Blair points fingers at many regimes on this issue but does not point a finger at himself the US or other NATO countries……lets also add Israel to the list because they have a huge stockpile of WMD’s and also design and manufacture their own arsenal in addition to the stockpile sent over by the US. It is clear that in doubling the existing stockpile the US and Israel are setting up the logistical support for attacks on Iran, Lebanon and Gaza with a possible strike on Syria. It is also clear that the US and Israel want to divide the Middle East in order to conquer it…..these are old and very effective tactics that have existed throughout history.
What is amazing about this inquiry is that fact that the real issues of not only the reasons for going to war but also the weapons use by coalition forces really does constitute an horrendous war crime at the highest level. To kill your own troops and thousands if not millions of innocent civilians in such areas of conflict and beyond is in despicable.
Basically this hearing and the Goldstone report is a pathetic sham. Both avoid the real issues of these conflicts and the men in power or who hold senior positions that implicate them in such matters sit snug and get away with what can only be called “Mass Genocide.” It was so sad when the Chair addressed Blair and said that we must all bear in mind the public outrage of these events and the fact that many families of the soldiers that made the ultimate sacrifice are in this room, do you have any regrets. He responded by saying he did not……at that stage someone in the room shouted something and the Chair quickly silenced the person concerned….it was obvious to me that such a response would enrage anyone who had lost a loved one in this manner.
Soon we will see Gordon Brown front up to the same gang of ineffectual experts, all of whom do not have the slightest idea of the issues involved, military application of weapons used or their devastating effects on innocent victims. We will see a Prime Minster who will concur with all the other cronies that gave such false evidence and will leave the room totally free of any guilt. So I ask the question where does does justice exist or does it exist at all. I am sure this hearing may turn over a few loose stones and one could realistically see the down fall of some small time administrative official or research clerk and if we are lucky maybe one of the Prime Minister Senior Advisers or even maybe someone from MI5/6….either way the elite group who have told lie after lie will get away with, dare I say “Blue Murder” or “Mass Genocide.” It is normal for such members of the “Rogue Gallery” to achieve celebrity status and go on to make much money. Blair is a classic example of this….he took us into a false war; he knowingly allowed our military to use WMD’s and now he lives in a country palace and can earn 2,000 pounds a minute on talking about it. We truly have to hang our head in shame to allow our country to fall to such a low level of existence.
Perhaps it would also be a good opportunity to talk about that dear man who basically knew too much, Dr David Kelly - United Nations weapons inspector. Everyone knew that Dr Kelly had vital information that was relevant to the war on Iraq and had that information been allowed to leak out it could have terrible consequences for key members of government (Including Tony Blair) and the Labour Party in general. This poor man was in my opinion taunted mentally and physically assassinated.
Dr Kelly had been interviewed by a well known reporter who had told him that the dossier that was released by the government in September 2002 had been beefed up and that paragraphs had been added to the original dossier that were false! Dr Kelly drew reference to one of those paragraphs “the insertion of the 45-minute claim.” What came out of this interview and other reports was that Alastair Campbell had specifically been implicated in added to this dossier.
As I have said so many times before I find it disgusting that people in high places can carry out horrendous crimes, manage to leave office discretely and end up writing books about their former leader or become leading celebrities for the rest of their lives instead of rotting in a prison where they belong. Alalstair Campbell certainly fits perfectly into this category as well as a long list of senior political figures. It is beyond a shadow of doubt that from the top of the list, the Prime Minister, all these very senior politicians are implicated in the deaths of thousands of troops and millions of innocent civilians. This is direct and indirect genocide on a grand scale. The notorious Geoff Hoon named Kelly as the person who had spoken to a reporter, which then put Kelly under tremendous pressure? Geoff Hoon, the then Defence Secretary, had by now hung out his dirty washing, as we have seen so many times before and carried on his career dodging other major blunders that had caused the unnecessary deaths of our troops.
As we know after Dr Kelly’s body was found an inquiry took place headed by Lord Hutton. To this day many doctors (around 13 of them) have challenged the verdict given over the circumstances of his death and to this day continue to repeat “that it would have been impossible for Dr Kelly to carry out this act”. The whole scenario is plagued with suspicion and the government will not allow the body to be exhumed for re examination. Lord Hutton himself has suppressed the medical examination report and the post mortem for a period of 70 years and one must certainly ask the question “what is so secretive about a routine medical examination and post mortem report”? Why was this suppressed just before Tony Blair was interview? One can see that this goes well beyond a conspiracy!
The actress and former minister Glenda Jackson called for the resignation of Tony Blair and that Geoff Hoon should also consider his future. The illustrious and famous Peter Mandelson (a Blair Minister at the time) also applied his spin.
It became obvious that the government of the day was covering up what can only be described as an arranged assassination of Dr Kelly.
Now that Tony Blair has defended his actions with such tenacity and that Gordon Brown had rigged the entire event, it is very easy to see that this inquiry is going nowhere and that our failed current leader is clutching at straws for his own survival.
This government, its past and current leader, its past and current ministers are certainly implicated in genocide by their creation of “False Flag” wars in the Balkan, Iraq, Afghanistan and now Pakistan. Soon we will be adding Iran and Yemen to the list with the US and Israel urgently pushing for action. I again ask the same question “where is the true axis of evil”…..I can assure you it is not on some far away Islamic land but right here on our doorstep.
We must fully understand that behind our governments are the true manipulators and war mongers who fuel this evil, especially those that fund our political figures into taking office. They do this in such an open manner and yet we the public do not even notice it is going on. They effectively change policies in favour of their own hidden agenda and the key to the door is held by all those listed below. This is truly the headquarters of the “Axis of Evil”.
Finally we now see pressure being applied to the Secretary General of the UN to drop the Goldstone Report” which in itself is a sham anyway. Now we can see the true colours of imperialism at its best and economic greed at a level that can only be described as the true “Axis of Evil”…..one can only hope and pray that the term “What goes around comes around” eventually catches up with the “New World Order” and that these terrible people and organisation that control the international banking elite fall by the wayside, namely: the Bilderberg Group, Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Windsor’s (Royal Family) and the City of London. the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the Council for National Policy (CNP), the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), Freemasons, The Trilateral Commission, Chatham House the list is endless.
Its is truly time for the people to take back their countries, especially during the run up to elections. The biggest issue is who do you vote for……I guess the answer is no one…..it reality we are probable better voting for an independent who can add new blood to governments and possibly challenge the philosophy of the current elite. The final question would have to be….Will we ever see justice? The answer is simply no, unless you the public wake up and start asking questions about 9/11 and so many other incidents that show many grey crowds and just simply do not add up.
Oh before I forget……do you think the opposition is a better choice at the

Why are the US and UK Governments creating mass hysteria!!
Part 2(Final)
Why so much hysteria on both sides of the pond when really it’s just another day in the lives of ordinary people. They used the Delta Airlines “False Flag” to try and scare us but to no avail……they fail to understand that many out there are intelligent human beings that know how to smell a rat! I find it incredible having been associated with intelligence that the CIA and Mossad frequently shoot themselves in the foot and really make an absolute mess of trying to cover up their own actions. Maybe the more mature guys have some credibility but the bottom end of the scale I have found to be pathetic to say the least.
Perhaps one can reach the hearts of some of these agents (yes some are human) when they realize that any conspiracy or cover up will eventually come back to haunt them. If 9/11 proves to come into this category then for sure many heads will role. If the cover up on the use of weapons containing uranium components is anything to go by many millions of people will be affected and that also includes CIA/Mossad agents and their families…..that is what is crazy about this world…we drop bombs and missiles all over the world and assume mother nature is going to clean it all up!
So back to the evil intentions of the US and UK in Yemen…..what is this all about and why are we who are totally alien to the Islamic World trying to interfere in their own local politics? The US and UK come out with the spin that it’s the activity of Al Qaeda in Yemen that is spreading fear around the world but I can assure you this concept is wrong. The “Axis of Evil” starts in the minds of our leaders and their governments who will do anything to get their hands on anyone else’s resources.
So what is the main problem in Yemen? First of all the country is stricken by poverty on a big scale and this alone can bring on discontent and conflict. What is rather sad is that the country is endowed with tremendous wealth in natural resources and yet this cannot lift the country out of poverty. We now have the US and UK offering aid when in actual fact all they need to do is to tap into their own resources and spread that wealth amongst its people.
To the North we have Saudi Arabia which by comparison is extremely rich but having said that there is again a hint of over the horizon issues concerning, dare I say religion. The Saudi in the main are Sunni’s but in Yemen there is almost a 50/50 mix. The Shiites belong to the Zaydi and the Sunnis belong to the Shafa’i……the problem being is that the Shiites frequently have crossed the border into Saudi and vice versus and, much like Iraq, therein lies the problem. Another problem as far as the government of Yemen and Saudi is the existence of Shiite Houtis who want the restoration of their Imam.
Like any other Islamic country the west has to learn to be more tolerant and also learn to negotiate with greater diplomacy and not turn to military might every time things don’t go the way they want. This is particularly relevant when it comes to oil and gas (which is the case with Yemen). Currently there are many lucrative oil and gas contracts up for grabs.
The Saudi Government accused the Houtis of killing two Saudi Soldiers on the border region. However, Saudi troops have carried out incursions in Yemen and therefore maybe there is justification for such action. The Houtis are blaming the Saudis for trying to bring Wahabism into Yemen. As you can see the situation is rather complex.
The US has taken this internal and cross border conflict a stage further and introduced the usual “False Flag” emphasis on Al Qaeda as being the main problem. So how is this going to pan out? The US has been supporting the Yemen Government for some time which is obviously Sunni and obviously the US has a hidden agenda in their search for oil contract and possible a military base in Aden and control of the shipping lanes.
From the Saudi aspect things did not go to plan this month. By the middle of this month they had lost 82 and another 21 were missing. When any country sends it troops over the border one can expect heavy losses especially when up against local militia who know their own country extremely well. In the meantime both US and Saudi fighter aircraft are bombing Al Qaeda hideouts but reports from within Yemen as saying that as usual the casualties are innocent tribal villages.
It is interesting to note that on the ground they have their match but with air superiority they can clear large areas without any loss to themselves. But again the issue here is what this conflict all about? The Saudis have an issue with the Houtis but the US has turned this into one of their own fiascos. The US in turning this conflict in a war against terror and bringing this invisible enemy called Al Qaeda into the picture obviously was to justify their long involvement in Yemen. As a direct result of the “False Flag” Detroit incident and again the US repeating that Al Qaeda were fully established in Yemen gave the US (in their opinion) further justification for the US Air Force to carry out aerial bombardment within Yemen, which continues to this day.
It should remain clear in our minds that if Al Qaeda is a reality in Yemen its numbers are very small as they have been in the current conflict in Afghanistan. The Government of Yemen is therefore perfectly capable to deal with that one issue alone without interference from the US, UK or any other EU country. The very fact that the Government of Yemen and the Saudi Government were working for a common goal therefore revealed that this was an internal conflict with full support from Saudi. Therefore in my opinion the involvement by the US was totally unjustified and certainly did not warrant an “Aerial Bombardment.”
As far as the UK is involved we had no right to call for a conference on Yemen in London when Yemen and Saudi had in existence a clear plan of action. That conference was dominated by the US, US and EU with additional military representation. Hilary Clinton, in a very demeaning way, gave reference to Yemen as being the perfect place for terrorism. She stated that most of the country was illiterate, high levels of poverty and high unemployment all of which would make the formation of militia and easy option.
I have to say the this interference was not only a political ploy by Brown in the lead up to the election but also a clear sign yet again of the west’s interference in Middle Eastern matters. It is obvious that the hidden agenda here is to get a foot in the door on the very lucrative oil contracts and also with the added possibility of permanent US/UK presence in Yemen. I am sure that events will lead to a major military base in Aden (as it used to be when it was a British Protectorate). This ploy would certainly make the US extremely happy as they would have control over the Gulf of Aden to oversee the main shipping lanes to and from the Suez Canal and in addition Aden would serve as a stepping stone for their next conflict zone of Somalia and the Horn of Africa.
Lets just for one moment again return to the tribal groups in the north of Yemen who are mainly Houtis (Shiite) and look at their position. Although they are large in numbers they none the less are the minority group in Yemen. They are fighting for the retention of their faith (like most Islamic groups) and also to try and stop the infiltration of Saudi interference. It’s a classic case of an attempt by the Saudi’s to “Divide and conquer” that is not going so well, hence the cross border incursions by the Saudi military.
From the Houtis perspective they see President Saleh as an ally to the US and Saudi, in other words a possible corrupt deal coming in existence between Yemen and the US and also that Saleh is ally to Saudi and both are Sunni…..now one can see just how complicated this has become. It also makes Yemen a target to come under the control of the US with UK involvement. If one can imagine a coastline of some 2,000 km being totally unprotected with maybe a desire by the US, UK and obviously NATO to militarize it! Now one can clearly see how an “Iron Fist” foreign policy can enhance the west’s imperialistic greed to participate in, take or control someone else’s natural resources and more importantly control the shipping lanes.
This is a classic case as to what has happened in the Eastern Mediterranean whereby the US and NATO patrol the offshore areas of Syria, Lebanon, Israel (in conjunction with the Israeli Navy) and Egypt (in conjunction with the Egyptian Navy). The latter is also setting up a base on the Egyptian border with Gaza.
Currently we have patrols covering the entire Somalia coastline and Gulf of Aden, the entire Persian Gulf and Eastern Med areas. It is interesting to note with little involvement by the countries who own the coastlines within these zones!
Back to the Houtis again….we have seen that conflict always appears to exist between Shiite and Sunni (as per Iraq) and this is again repeated in Yemen…I guess in a way its no difference between the Catholics and Protestants in Ireland. So I ask the question do such religions have the right to exist….obviously in a democratic society the answer is yes. So why do we in the West jump up and down when a minority group start taking up arms against their opponents. How would the British Government feel if the Arab League became involved in supporting for instance the IRA or actually became involved in military intervention….now I think you are getting to see the picture?
The other question here is the fact that President Salah is due to step down in 2013 and is favoured by the US, UK and Saudi Governments. Will this take place or will we see the same Palestine interference by the West (Abbas) to keep the President of Yemen in power illegally? I am sure we can imagine the outcome.
Maybe the Houtis have justification to carry out their actions and they certainly have the right to maintain their religion. Then of course we have the West accusing Iran of supporting the Houtis (both mainly Shiites)….I know you have heard all this before in Lebanon and Gaza. Again what is the difference between the US sending weapons and military hardware to Israel (including WMD’s) and Iran doing the same……its all very one sided don’t you think? One other major issue in Yemen is the difference between the north and south…..one can draw a comparison here with north and south Sudan. We may well see the two become separated at a later date therefore adding more complexity to the internal problems.
The Houtis also claimed that the government was actually hiring Al Qaeda operatives which to all intents and purposes does make sense as they are both Sunnis and one would not expect Houtis and other groups to cooperate. It is also assumed that any extreme group in Yemen could well be part of a CIA – Mossad funded operation with the tag of Al Qaeda which in my opinion is a pseudonym that has been used time and time again. I personally do not think they actually exist.
I am also led to believe that Israel is also very involved in the Yemen conflict as they frequently operate clandestine operations in many countries around the world. Their purpose would be to help the current government, the Saudis and the US to secure this vital gateway to the Red Sea and the Suez Canal and also attempt to stop any support from their arch enemy Iran. Maybe I should also point out that Israel does have some activity and a certain amount of control in Yemen and so we can see that on either side of the straits leading into the Red Sea ( lucrative and vital sea lane) that there is a strong military presence in the form of Special Forces – CIA – and Mossad.
The other factor here is that the US, Israel desperately need to seize control of Yemen in order to stop any further involvement from Iran. One would assume that it would be important from both the US and Israeli perspective to take total control of the entry and transit to the Red Sea and Suez Canal in conjunction with Saudi and Egypt and in doing so could stop Iranian crude oil and general cargo vessels from entry into and out of the Mediterranean. On this aspect alone you can see the west desperately wants to control the oil/gas markets and stop any competition from Iran. There is also an Israeli plan to pipe Caspian oil and gas by subsea pipeline down from Turkey – Ashkelon – Eiliat and then via the Gulf of Aqba – Red Sea – Gulf of Aden and then eastbound to new international markets in Pakistan, India, SE Asia and China etc. This also clearly shows the urgency by the US/Israel to secure the region in order to exploit lucrative international markets and at the same time control what flows and where!
I have always strongly believed that the False Flag Detroit incident was a combined CIA – Mossad set up and I would go as far as saying that all of this was a diversionary tactic to spread hysteria throughout the US and UK…….you will note little has been done in the rest of Europe even though they have forces in the Middle East and would normally also become a target for their involvement in Iraq or Afghanistan etc.
The other issue here is that Israel does not want the Goldstone Report to progress further and they certainly do not want intimidation regarding Palestine. I would even go as far as saying that if the US and the UK do not back off with this relentless pressure they will carry out a more serious false flag in London or elsewhere. When one combines this sinister activity to the might of the Pro Israeli Lobbyist, Christian and Jewish Zionist’s and the political control they already have in the west we are certainly dealing with the “True Axis of Evil”
Finally I would add that the raised level of threat could be directly linked to the current conferences and the Blair interview and more importantly by an unseen threat that could well be another “False Flag” involving yet again either CIA or Mossad operatives or both. After the many unanswered questions regarding 9/11 and certainly the fact that a large airliner did not hit the Pentagon or crash in a field, one would have to be highly suspicious of any future activity that takes place.
Israel and its supporting are determined to kill the Goldstone Report even though the report as such let the Israelis off the hook by not addressing the real crime of using weapons containing uranium components, Flachette and DIME bombs, all of which were gross violations of the Geneva Convention. They also do not want any further pressure in giving concessions to the Palestinians and therefore blatantly challenge and ignore any UN Resolution or any human rights violations etc.

It also makes Yemen a target to come under the control of the US with UK involvement. If one can imagine a coastline of some 2,000 km being totally unprotected with maybe a desire by the US, UK and obviously NATO to militarize it! Now one can clearly see how an “Iron Fist” foreign policy can enhance the west’s imperialistic greed to participate in, take or control someone else’s natural resources and more importantly control the shipping lanes.
This is a classic case as to what has happened in the Eastern Mediterranean whereby the US and NATO patrol the offshore areas of Syria, Lebanon, Israel (in conjunction with the Israeli Navy) and Egypt (in conjunction with the Egyptian Navy). The latter is also setting up a base on the Egyptian border with Gaza.
Currently we have patrols covering the entire Somalia coastline and Gulf of Aden, the entire Persian Gulf and Eastern Med areas. It is interesting to note with little involvement by the countries who own the coastlines within these zones!
Back to the Houtis again….we have seen that conflict always appears to exist between Shiite and Sunni (as per Iraq) and this is again repeated in Yemen…I guess in a way its no difference between the Catholics and Protestants in Ireland. So I ask the question do such religions have the right to exist….obviously in a democratic society the answer is yes. So why do we in the West jump up and down when a minority group start taking up arms against their opponents. How would the British Government feel if the Arab League became involved in supporting for instance the IRA or actually became involved in military intervention….now I think you are getting to see the picture?
The other question here is the fact that President Salah is due to step down in 2013 and is favoured by the US, UK and Saudi Governments. Will this take place or will we see the same Palestine interference by the West (Abbas) to keep the President of Yemen in power illegally? I am sure we can imagine the outcome.
Maybe the Houtis have justification to carry out their actions and they certainly have the right to maintain their religion. Then of course we have the West accusing Iran of supporting the Houtis (both mainly Shiites)….I know you have heard all this before in Lebanon and Gaza. Again what is the difference between the US sending weapons and military hardware to Israel (including WMD’s) and Iran doing the same……its all very one sided don’t you think? One other major issue in Yemen is the difference between the north and south…..one can draw a comparison here with north and south Sudan. We may well see the two become separated at a later date therefore adding more complexity to the internal problems.
The Houtis also claimed that the government was actually hiring Al Qaeda operatives which to all intents and purposes does make sense as they are both Sunnis and one would not expect Houtis and other groups to cooperate. It is also assumed that any extreme group in Yemen could well be part of a CIA – Mossad funded operation with the tag of Al Qaeda which in my opinion is a pseudonym that has been used time and time again. I personally do not think they actually exist.
I am also led to believe that Israel is also very involved in the Yemen conflict as they frequently operate clandestine operations in many countries around the world. Their purpose would be to help the current government, the Saudis and the US to secure this vital gateway to the Red Sea and the Suez Canal and also attempt to stop any support from their arch enemy Iran. Maybe I should also point out that Israel does have some activity and a certain amount of control in Yemen and so we can see that on either side of the straits leading into the Red Sea ( lucrative and vital sea lane) that there is a strong military presence in the form of Special Forces – CIA – and Mossad.
The other factor here is that the US, Israel desperately need to seize control of Yemen in order to stop any further involvement from Iran. One would assume that it would be important from both the US and Israeli perspective to take total control of the entry and transit to the Red Sea and Suez Canal in conjunction with Saudi and Egypt and in doing so could stop Iranian crude oil and general cargo vessels from entry into and out of the Mediterranean. On this aspect alone you can see the west desperately wants to control the oil/gas markets and stop any competition from Iran. There is also an Israeli plan to pipe Caspian oil and gas by subsea pipeline down from Turkey – Ashkelon – Eiliat and then via the Gulf of Aqba – Red Sea – Gulf of Aden and then eastbound to new international markets in Pakistan, India, SE Asia and China etc. This also clearly shows the urgency by the US/Israel to secure the region in order to exploit lucrative international markets and at the same time control what flows and where!
I have always strongly believed that the False Flag Detroit incident was a combined CIA – Mossad set up and I would go as far as saying that all of this was a diversionary tactic to spread hysteria throughout the US and UK…….you will note little has been done in the rest of Europe even though they have forces in the Middle East and would normally also become a target for their involvement in Iraq or Afghanistan etc.
The other issue here is that Israel does not want the Goldstone Report to progress further and they certainly do not want intimidation regarding Palestine. I would even go as far as saying that if the US and the UK do not back off with this relentless pressure they will carry out a more serious false flag in London or elsewhere. When one combines this sinister activity to the might of the Pro Israeli Lobbyist, Christian and Jewish Zionist’s and the political control they already have in the west we are certainly dealing with the “True Axis of Evil”
Finally I would add that the raised level of threat could be directly linked to the current conferences and the Blair interview and more importantly by an unseen threat that could well be another “False Flag” involving yet again either CIA or Mossad operatives or both. After the many unanswered questions regarding 9/11 and certainly the fact that a large airliner did not hit the Pentagon or crash in a field, one would have to be highly suspicious of any future activity that takes place.
Israel and its supporting are determined to kill the Goldstone Report even though the report as such let the Israelis off the hook by not addressing the real crime of using weapons containing uranium components, Flachette and DIME bombs, all of which were gross violations of the Geneva Convention. They also do not want any further pressure in giving concessions to the Palestinians and therefore blatantly challenge and ignore any UN Resolution or any human rights violations etc.

Could Obama and Brown be guilty of War Crimes?
Could Obama and Brown be guilty of War Crimes?
Even possibly Mass Genocide?
Tomorrow we see Ex Prime Minister Tony Blair face the Iraq Inquiry in London but there is much more to this than the reasons for going to war. We have seen repeated violations for those privileged to be in office and yet War Crimes are carried out on almost a daily basis. As it stands at the moment one could say with great confidence that the respective leaders, Secretary of Defence, Foreign Minister and Chiefs of staff etc have and continue to commit War Crimes against humankind.
As far as the previous regimes are concerned that implicates George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Condoleezza Rice and many others and on this side of the pond Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, Bob Ainsworth, John Hutton, Des Browne, John Reid, Geoff Hoon, George Robertson, David Miliband, Margaret Beckett, Jack Straw, Robin Cook etc However, in regard to Robin Cook I feel that although he carried such an important responsibility he never agreed with the war and resigned after going to war in Iraq on moral and ethical grounds.
The list doesn’t simply stop there we also have to implicate all the NATO countries, their leaders and staff and last but not least Israel which has totally abused the vast array of evil weapons that is contained in its arsenal.
We have to fully understand that many of todays so called conventional weapons are in actual fact WMD’s as they contain uranium components. Many other weapons used were also totally illegal under the terms of their usage. So what does constitute a war crime and furthermore mass genocide?
Every leader and their senior staff members are fully aware of every stage of a conflict or war. They are briefed on a regular basis on all aspects of the war, including the logistical support i.e. what is being sent and associated costs etc all of which are vetted by all those in senior positions including the Chancellor. It all comes with the title and you have to take full responsibility if you become involved or implicated in any wrong doing.
Today we see Gordon Brown host yet again another conference on Afghanistan and as he stipulates this will be a decisive year. What exactly is meant by this statement is anyone’s guess but for sure this year is going to be a blood bath. What I find incredibly is the fact that if one is loosing a war or if there is a risk of loosing you immediately put more troops in without delay or you do a phased pull out. Now we see another surge planned but there appears to be no rush to do this.
Obama says he’s putting another 30,000 troops into Afghanistan for this surge which has yet to take place but what will this mean? We also again see a change of tact in that both sides now admit they have to talk to the Taliban, possibly employ them and put some in government.
We must all fully understand that the Taliban are still holding the cards and control a vast majority of the country. They may be poorly equipped by comparison to the coalition forces but they are relatively young hardened fighters that know their country better than the invading forces and have an unbelievable spirit to endure the impossible. In all such conflicts the local militias have always been a force to deal with and in the main are never defeated.
Normally in the winter months such militias are keeping a low profile but this winter has been one of their most active. This is a clear warning to the west that soon the spring will be upon us and this is when the Taliban mobilize into a significant force. Regrettable the coalition forces will sustain very heavy losses this year and could almost double that of 2009. We can also see such a fighting forces over in north Yemen that despite the superiority of the Saudi armed forces and the continues aerial bombardment by both the US and Saudi Air Force the Saudi only a few weeks ago lost 82 troops and 21 are missing.
I have always believed that we in the west have to change our “Iron Fist” foreign policy and pull out of this game. Bring all the troops home and close all bases on Islamic soil. Once this has been done terrorism as we know it today will cease. Then we have to learn to negotiate and trade with the Middle East and not try to take their resources, control their markets and totally change our foreign policy. Unfortunately the US must take the majority of blame by implying they are the police of the world. Secondly when there is any regional conflict it should be dealt with by those involved and the adjoining countries and not by the west that in general have no understanding of the complexity of tribal groups or their religion.
I would ask the question why a conference on Afghanistan is being held in London with a strong US and NATO presence. Why isn’t such a conference being held in Iran, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan Uzbekistan or Pakistan with the exclusion of the US, UK and EU……why do we always have to control such events when we have no feelings or understand on how such countries think…..its really does show signs of colonialism or imperialistic greed.
So back to the topic….are all these western leaders and senior politicians guilty of warm crimes or mass genocide…..the answer is clearly yes. If one chooses to use a weapon that could be considered to be a WMD’s then you are in breach of the UN, the Geneva Convention and the Nuclear Non Prolific Treaty. So where have these weapons been used, where are they currently being used and by whom?
We have to turn the clocks back to the mid 1940’s when during atomic weapons testing the authorities realized the potential of creating radioactive nanoparticles aerosols that could be released over the battlefield.
A vital memo giving details of their evil intentions was worded as per below. It must be clearly understand that back in 1943 nuclear experts were discussing the advantages of using fine dust as a weapon. One such document was issued on the 30th of October 1943 which quoted: “It is recommended that a decision be obtained from competent authority authorizing additional work pertaining to the use of radioactive materials in order that this country may be ready to use such materials or be ready to defend itself against the use of such materials”. This same document contained information as follows:
2 As a gas warfare instrument the material would be ground into particles of microscopic size to form dust and smoke and distributed by a ground-fired projectile, land vehicles, or aerial bombs. In this form it would be inhaled by personnel. The amount necessary to cause death to a person inhaling the material is extremely small. It has been estimated that one millionth of a gram accumulating in a person's body would be fatal. There are no known methods of treatment for such a casualty.
Two factors appear to increase the effectiveness of radioactive dust or smoke as a weapon. These are: (1) It cannot be detected by the senses; (2) It can be distributed in a dust or smoke form so finely powdered that it will permeate a standard gas mask filter in quantities large enough to be extremely damaging. This document gave the background to today’s weapons that are not only highly effective in there ability to penetration deep into the target but also the pyrophoric qualities of this product allows it to ignite spontaneously and create a huge cloud of fine DU dust that becomes a lethal airborne aerosol. I have a copy of this memo.
So now the scene was set for these crazy minded scientists to develop the weapons that we see today. They have all been re categorized as conventional weapons when in actual fact they are clearly WMD. So how do today’s weapons violate the Geneva Convention?
The use of Depleted Uranium (DU) was condemned in 2000 by experts from Germany namely Prof. Dr. Albrecht Schott and Prof. Dr Siegwart Horst Gunther. In their submission to phohibit DU they stated - Given the known chemical and radioiogical toxicity of depleted uranium and its compounds causes damage to humans, animals and the ecological cycle, of which there is conclusive evidence we demand that the military and civilian use of depleted uranium (DU) be banned. “The preservation of creation and the dignity of humankind forbid the use of DU. The Invasion of DU, and the compounds produced by its self-ignition due to heat, into the soil and water cycle of Iiving communities, and the environment we live in, make them uninhabitable for thousands of years (the half-life of uranium is 4.5 billion years; uranium forms long-term radiologically dangerous decay products) “.
Legal references were made in this submission as follows: The military use of DU violates current international humanitarian law, including the principle that there is no unlimited right to choose the means and methods of warfare (Art. 22 Hague Convention VI (HCIV); Art. 35 of the Additional Protocol to the Geneva Convention (GP1); the ban on causing unnecessary suffering and superfluous injury (Art. 23 §le HCIV; Art. 35 §2 GP1), indiscriminate warfare (Art. 51 §4c and 5b GPI) as well as the use of poison or poisoned weapons). The deployment and use of DU violate the principles of international environmental and human rights protection. They contradict the right to life established by the Resolution 1996/16 of the UN Subcommittee on Human Rights. Wo demand the following individual points:
1. A ban an the use, development, production, transport, storage and possession of DU weapons and DU armour-plating, as well as all other military uses of DU.
2. Medical treatment of all victims of DU, in particular children.
3. Destruction of all DU weapons and means of its deployment and secure storage of the uranium in a stable chemical compound.
4. A ban on the civilian use of DU because of accidental future, past or present exposure fo uranium or its compounds.
5. Decontamination of all military and civilian equipment contaminated by DU.
6. Decontamination of all territory contaminated by DU. This not only means theatres of war but also military practice ranges and other areas where DU has been deployed.
7. Conversion of the global stocks of DU in the form of Uranium Hexafluoride, approx. 2-3 million tons, from its presently insufficiently stable form into a stable Uranium Oxide and safe deposition.
8. Punishment of the military use of DU as a war crime (in accordance with Art. 85 §3b GP1; Art. 6b IMT Statute; Art. 2c, 3a and b ICTY Statute; Art. 8 §2b Statute of Rome).
9. Eradication of consequential damage caused by DU use according to customary liability principles in international (humanitarian) law.
10. Creation of a centre for the worldwide documentation of all DU contaminated regions, in particular theatres of war, military practice ranges, scenes of accidents, etc., and to study the DU problem.
As you can see these so called conventional weapons clearly do violate almost every aspect of the above listed. It was also interesting for me to read another report by Leuren Moret. US Expert Leuren Moret in her article: DEPLETED URANIUM
THE TROJAN HORSE OF NUCLEAR WAR (8 July 2004) gives a full account of all the issues relating to DU. Lauren’s contribution in the fight against DU is exemplary and I urge you all to read the above article in full as well as many other articles she has produced. In the above article she makes reference to the follow: ILLEGAL UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW- Four reasons why using depleted uranium weapons violates the UN Convention on Human Rights:
LEGALITY TEST FOR WEAPONS UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW
Temporal Test - Weapons must not continue to act after the battle is over.
Environmental Test - Weapons must not be unduly harmful to the environment.
Territorial Test - Weapons must not act off of the battlefield.
Humaneness Test - Weapons must not kill or wound inhumanly.
I have so many other documents from both military and civil sources that clearly say that there is no safe level of uranium and therefore any type of uranium that is allowed to enter our atmosphere (including low level radiation) in any form is totally against the Geneva Convention.
We can now look as to where and when these evil weapons were first used in the battlefield. Most people would be shocked to learn that it was Israel who first used them extensivley (with the assistance of US Military experts) during the Yom Kippur War(October 1973). The IDF has used these weapons almost continuously since this date in all areas of conflict with significant use during the Lebanon 2006 conflict and again during Cast Lead on Gaza in 2008/9. One must also remember that these weapons would have been fired within Israel territory on a test basis and also during IDF exercises.
We then turn to the US, UK and NATO forces use of such weapon in the Balkans in 1995 and finally on to Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Gaza and Pakistan. It would also appear that such weapons have been used in Somalia and now in Yemen. Because these WMD’s weapons are totally indiscriminate and do not recognize international borders they have the ability to drift all over the globe. There can sometimes be huge clouds of nanoparticle aerosols floating around in the earth’s atmosphere and it only takes one particle to enter your lung and start the process. We must further understand that we are talking here about millions of nanoparticles off each weapon.
It makes one feel acutely sick to know that a few select people in high places have known the consequences of such weapons and the magnitude and levels of contamination both within a given conflict area and beyond. They would have known that this could be classified as a massive depopulation tool that is totally indiscriminate and could well contaminate the country that implemented its usage. As an example when Israel used them in Lebanon and Gaza it was also contaminating its own Israeli population, land, crops and water supply.
So there you have it…..we know where the products are made, who exports them and who uses them. We know all the countries involved or implicated i.e. US UK, NATO countries, not forgetting Israel. We know all the Presidents, Prime Ministers, Senior Members of Government and Chiefs of Staff etc.
These countries have already caused immeasurable suffering and death in the Balkans. They have killed the genetics of Iraq and soon probably Afghanistan, they have contaminated Lebanon and Gaza and as a result of their actions that have contaminated adjacent countries and states such as the Punjab etc. They have also carried out the greatest crime of all and that is to contaminate their own troops and their own populations. The IDF latest conflict in Gaza is a classic example which is still on going. Only this week I again see pictures of badly disfigured babies being born in the Gaza Hospital. In Fallujah and Basra women are scared to have a child.
Maybe you the jury can now reach a verdict? Are all of the above listed countries guilt of war crimes, mass genocide or both? From my perspective they certainly are. I would repeat a comment I have made so many times before – What is the reason for the existence of the United Nations? And why do with have a person allocated within the UN to deal with such terrible atrocities – Francis Deng Special Adviser for the Prevention of Genocide whom I have notified and who does nothing?
Only the ordinary people in this world can turn this around….it will take much courage and you may loose many friends on the way who think you are insane. It’s entirely up to you. Remember when you look into that sweet face of your child or grandchild ask yourself, “How can I leave them this legacy” Be strong and Bless you all.

Maybe you the jury can now reach a verdict? Are all of the above listed countries guilt of war crimes, mass genocide or both? From my perspective they certainly are. I would repeat a comment I have made so many times before – What is the reason for the existence of the United Nations? And why do with have a person allocated within the UN to deal with such terrible atrocities – Francis Deng Special Adviser for the Prevention of Genocide whom I have notified and who does nothing?
Only the ordinary people in this world can turn this around….it will take much courage and you may loose many friends on the way who think you are insane. It’s entirely up to you. Remember when you look into that sweet face of your child or grandchild ask yourself, “How can I leave them this legacy” Be strong and Bless you all.
