Former US Spy Confirms Rigi's CIA Link, Rejects Ties

A former US intelligence official has admitted that CIA operatives in Pakistan had held talks with the Jundallah terrorist group led by Abdolmalek Rigi.

Soon after the 9/11 attacks, a senior Jundallah member, acting on Rigi's behalf, approached CIA agents in Pakistan and told them the group would help the US against both Iran and al-Qaeda, prominent US weekly magazine Newsweek reveals in its March 1 issue.

The former US official, who has asked to remain anonymous because of the sensitive nature of the information he was providing, said that the Jundallah representative suggested that the group would kidnap leaders of the Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and al-Qaeda and turn them over to the Americans.'

Afghanistan Massacre on Eve of Obama's Surge

With the first elements of 30,000 additional US troops set to arrive in Afghanistan next week, the massacre of as many as 15 civilians in a US raid has heightened fears that the Obama administration’s so-called surge will spell a dramatic rise in bloodletting.

The killings took place in eastern Laghman province in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Gulzar Sangarwal, the acting head of the provincial council, reported that 13 civilians were killed in the raid on the village of Armul, including one woman. Local villagers reported 15 killed, including children. Reuters news agency said its correspondent had seen the bodies of a woman and 12 men, several of them teenagers.

Local authorities have blamed the killings on US Special Forces troops.

The deaths triggered an angry protest that ended in still more killings. According to Reuters, some 5,000 villagers marched on the provincial capital of Mehtar Lam chanting slogans denouncing the US occupation, the puppet government of President Hamid Karzai and the provincial authorities. The crowd shouted “Death to America, Death to Obama and Death to Karzai” as they marched through the town.

The villagers carried the bodies of the civilians slain in the US raid, laying them in front of the provincial governor’s house.

Soldiers from the Afghan National Army opened fire with live ammunition in an attempt to disperse the crowd, reportedly killing two demonstrators outright and mortally wounding two others, who died in the local hospital.

Outrage over the killings spread to the neighboring province of Nangarhar, on the border with Pakistan. Pajhwok Afghan News reported that 3,000 students from Nangahar University occupied the main highway linking Kabul and the provincial capital of Jalalabad for hours on Wednesday, chanting slogans denouncing the US-led occupation and the Karzai regime and burning American flags. A US military column attempting to move down the highway was forced to turn back to Jalalabad.

As is its standard operating procedure in such incidents, the US command in Kabul initially denied that any civilians were killed in the raid. It issued a statement claiming that the occupation troops had only shot “militants” and insisting that there were “no operational reports to substantiate those claims of harming civilians, including women and children during this operation.”

Faced with protestors carrying the bodies of civilians, the second-highest ranking American commander in Afghanistan, Lt. Gen. David Rodriguez, backed off from the categorical denial Wednesday, stating that the raid had been a “confusing operation” and that the US military was “continuing to investigate.”

Clinton's Veiled Threats to South American Leaders Over Iran Ties

Clinton said the United States was well aware Iran had stepped up its diplomatic activities in the region, citing Venezuela and Bolivia in particular.

"We can only say that is a really bad idea for the countries involved," Clinton told a State Department briefing on Latin American relations.

"This is the major supporter, promoter and exporter of terrorism in the world today," she said. "If people want to flirt with Iran, they should take a look at what the consequences might well be for them. And we hope that they will think twice".'

Calling black kettle the pot ( rearrange into a sentance)

The Emerging Medical Dictatorship

We may have been granted a temporary reprieve from forced medical treatments this time around, but have we been spared from the government? As usual, the answer is "no". While the government may not be forcing a medicine down our throats or corralling uncooperative people in camps, what they are doing should send shivers down our collective spine. They are creating lists of dissidents and "terrorists". These lists contain detailed information on individuals. And, if ever the laws were changed to permit more coercive action instead of passive data collection then the government would already have the names of the supposed "enemies of the state" on hand.'

Fire Departments Offer Free Pizza as Pretense to Enter Homes

It sounds innocent enough. In Santa Barbara County, California, you’ll get a free Domino’s pizza if you allow the fire department to enter your house and check the fire alarm.

Prior to September 11, 2001, and the establishment of the behemoth Department of Homeland Security, allowing firemen into your home would have been safe enough. Now you run the risk of being categorized as a terrorist.

US Sold Phosphorus Shells Used in Gaza to Israel

The United States sold phosphorus artillery shells made at the Pine Bluff Arsenal to Israel — the same kind of rounds allegedly used against civilians during the recent fighting in Gaza.A State Department official told The Associated Press that the rounds — typically used to light up darkened battlefields or provide smoke cover for combat troops — were most recently shipped to Israel in 2007. International human rights groups accuse the Israeli military of firing the chemical rounds into civilian homes, causing severe burns to those inside and killing at least one woman.International law allows for the use of the phosphorus shells, but not in areas where civilians could be harmed by the burning rounds.

The Era of American Leadership Is Over

Vast numbers of people in the United States and abroad are hoping that President Obama will end America’s illegal wars, halt America’s support for Israel’s massacre of Lebanese and Palestinians, and punish, instead of reward, the shyster banksters whose fraudulent financial instruments have destroyed economies and imposed massive sufferings on people all over the world. If Obama’s appointments are an indication, all of these hopeful people are going to be disappointed.

James Petras examines Obama’s foreign policy appointments and finds the largest collection of Zionist militarists outside of Avigdor Lieberman’s far right political party in Israel.

Petras concludes that Obama’s “diplomatic” team has Iran in its sights, an hostility that meshes with Israel’s own intent. Not realizing that a member of the press had been mistakenly invited to a selected audience, the Israeli ambassador to Australia said that Israel’s attack on Gaza was a dress rehearsal for a major attack on Iran. Netanyahu, the expected winner of Israel’s March elections, has again declared that Israel will not permit Iran to have a nuclear energy program as it would provide the basis for developing nuclear weapons.

It makes no sense for Israel to baldly state its intention to attack Iran if Israel does not mean it. What if the Iranians believe the Israelis and decide to strike first with their long-range missiles?

Obama’s economic appointments are just as discouraging. Obama chose as his Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, the man who helped Bush’s Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, engineer the $700 billion dollar rip off of the US taxpayer, money that was gifted to the crooked banksters who destroyed Americans’ pensions, jobs and health care coverage.

These banksters, and the negligent federal regulators that enabled them, should be put in prison, not handed hundreds of billions of dollars.

Two Faced Bastards!

US and Israel Conducted Nazi Style medical Experiments - 100,000 Radiations

In 1951, the director general of the Israeli Health Ministry, Dr. Chaim Sheba flew to America and returned with 7 x-ray machines, supplied to him by the American army.

They were to be used in a mass atomic experiment with an entire generation of Sephardi youths to be used as guinea pigs. Every Sephardi child was to be given 35,000 times the maximum dose of x-rays through his head. For doing so, the American government paid the Israeli government 300,000 Israeli liras a year. The entire Health budget was 60,000 liras. The money paid by the Americans is equivalent to billions of dollars today.

To fool the parents of the victims, the children were taken away on "school trips" and their parents were later told the x-rays were a treatment for the scourge of scalpal ringworm. 6,000 of the children died shortly after their doses were given, the many of the rest developed cancers that killed them over time and are still killing them now. While living, the victims suffered from disorders such as epilepsy, amnesia, Alzheimer's disease, chronic headaches and psychosis.

Hear, O Israel!!

Hear, Hear O Israel!

You have massacred infants and blamed their parents for itsaying that they used them as shields. I can think of nothing,nothing more disgraceful.Only in the space of a generation, in the name of that suffering,you have caused suffering to others: you have hermetically sealed themin a territory, and you started to slaughter them with the most sophisticatedof arms, indestructible armoured tanks, state-of-the-art helicoptersbrightening the night-time sky as if it were day, to strike them more efficiently.But 668 dead Palestinians and 4 dead Israelis is not a victory, it’s just a defeat for you and for humanity as a whole.

Hear, O Israel!

I do not repudiate my history, or that of my family, which hadundergone the Shoah. But I repudiate you, the Israeli State, because youbelieved that to make the credit of the Shoah mature, you wouldbe allowed to rid yourself of the Palestinian people and occupy their land.But that is not the way things operate, life does not work that way. The people of Israelhave to live their own lives and not live by means of the deaths of others.

Hear, O Israel!

I do not repudiate my history, or that of my family, which hadundergone the Shoah, but today I am Palestinian. I am on the sideof the Palestinian people and their heroic resistance. I am with theheroic resistance of the Palestinian women who kept on giving birthto little Palestinian girls and boys in the refugee camps, in the villagesfrom which you had uprooted their olive trees, stolen their land. I am with the thousandsof Palestinians jailed in your prisons for having only resistedyour annexation plans.

Hear, O Israel!

There will be no Israel without Palestine, but there could be Palestine without Israel, because your credit, by now completely dried upby your mad and suicidal policies, was not towards the Palestinianpeople who never raised a finger against you, but it was towards the peopleof Germany, Italy, Poland, France, Hungaryand Europe in general; and they are to be blamed for their inaction.Hear, O Israel, hear these names: Deir Yassin, Tel al-Zaatar,Sabra and Chatila, Gaza. They are some names, names writtenin the annals of history, thatwill be voiced every single time one sees the name: Israel.

Israel Turns Gaza Into Weapon Testing Lab?

Israel has turned Gaza into a research laboratory to test out its new "extremely nasty" weapons on Palestinians, say on the scene medics.

Dr. Gilbert said the kinds of injuries he and his colleague Erik Fosse had seen during their ten-day aid work in Gaza had proven that Dense Inert Metal Explosives (DIME) was being used in the embattled territory.

DIME, which is an experimental kind of explosive, is believed to have strong biological effects in those who are hit by the "low lethality" weapons. Survivors close to the lethal range may have their limbs amputated as their soft tissues and bones are shredded to pieces. The victims may also subsequently contract cancer from the micro-shrapnel embedded in their body tissue within just four to six months.
