Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan military operations against the kafirs, munafiqs and the worshippers of Idols

Canada and the Origins of the Israel-Palestine Conflict, Part 1 of 3 The year 2008 marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the State of Israel, and should be the occasion for a serious re-evaluation of international policy towards the conflict that has ensued. Political Zionism, and after 1948 the Israeli state, has consistently drawn crucial political, economic and military support from Europe and North America. With this support comes a heavy burden of responsibility for its consequences.

 

Canada and the Origins of the Israel-Palestine Conflict, Part 2 of 3 Massacres, Expropriation, and Canadian Participation in 1948: Ben Dunkelman and his "Anglo-Saxon Brigade"

 

Canada and the Origins of the Israel-Palestine Conflict, Part 3 of 3 "August 1947 marked the beginning of decolonization, when British rule in India ended with a last spasmodic human carnage. In January 1948 Burma became independent, in February Ceylon; October 1949 witnessed the exhilarating final liberation of China. It was in those days of hopes and fulfillments that the colonization of Palestine occurred. ... Thus, at the dawn of decolonization, we were returned to the earliest, most intense form of colonial menace - the exclusivist settler colonialism which had dealt genocidal blows to the great civilizations and peoples of the Americas. ... The tragedy occurred as a counterpoint to contemporary history, a reminder that all was not well with the era of decolonization."

 

Canada colonization at home Jailed Algonquin Leader Begins Hunger Strike; Second Algonquin Chief Going to Jail   On February 15, 2008 Ardoch Algonquin First Nation (AAFN) Spokesperson Robert Lovelace was sentenced in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Kingston to 6 months in maximum security, plus crippling fines, for peacefully protesting uranium mining in the Ardoch homeland. Chief Paula Sherman was fined $15,000 and given until today to pay the fine, failing which she will be jailed.

The jailing of respected, law-abiding community leaders has had a devastating impact on our communities, particularly on the families of those incarcerated. The indifference shown by the McGuinty government towards the rights of First Nation communities and the imposition of long jail terms and crippling fines in the name of "the rule of law" has further eroded respect for both the legal system and the government of Ontario in the eyes of First Nations people in this province.

Bush kisses the ass of Israel President Peres and Mr. Prime Minister, Madam Speaker, thank very much for hosting this special session. President Beinish, Leader of the Opposition Netanyahu, Ministers, members of the Knesset, distinguished guests: Shalom. Laura and I are thrilled to be back in Israel. We have been deeply moved by the celebrations of the past two days. And this afternoon, I am honored to stand before one of the world's great democratic assemblies and convey the wishes of the American people with these words: Yom Ha'atzmaut Sameach. (Applause.)

 

The Nakba is our Holocaust For those unacquainted with Zionist phraseology, the venomous remarks were an obvious allusion to diabolic Zionist designs to ultimately expel more than 1.5 million Israeli Arab citizens whose presence in Palestine predated the establishment of Israel by hundreds if not thousands of years. Similarly, an Israeli diplomat at the UN reportedly complained on Thursday (15 May) that the mere use and circulation of the word Nakba carried a whiff of anti-Semitism, and that the word itself ought to be banned. The obscene raving came after UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon telephoned Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and expressed empathy with the Palestinian people in honor of the Nakba anniversary. You see the brutal ugliness of the Zionist mentality. They want even to ban the use of word that reminds humanity of the greatest theft and act of rape in history, carried out by a people who claim to adhere to the Torah, the Holy Scripture that taught humanity, among other things, "thou shall not steal."
 

Attributes Of The Mujahideen: Compliance With The Sunnah A Mujahid should endeavour to live his whole life according to the past shown by the last Rasool of Allah Salallahu-alaihiwasallam (may peace and blessings be upon him)). Every deed of a Mujahid, his appearance, his deportment, his manners, his etiquette, may it eating, drinking, sleeping or any other daily activities, should be a shining example of compliance with the Revered Sunnah. The last Rasool of Allah (SAW) left behind amongst us two things, if we hold on to them firmly, we will never go astray. They are: i. The Holy Quraan. ii. The holy Revered Sunnah of the last Rasool of Allah (SAW).

 

Mujahideen inflict sabotage strikes on kuffar and murtadin Publication time: 14 May 2008, 09:05. A source inside the command of Armed Forces of the Caucasus Emirate has reported that on 6 Jumada Al-'Awwal 1429 (11 May 2008), sabotage squad of Mujahideen of one of the units under command Amir Muslim ambushed kuffar forces in the district of village Eshelhatoi of the Vedeno district of Wilayah Nokhchicho (Ichkeria). As a result of sabotage operation a BTR armored personnel carried was destroyed and 2 kuffar (invaders) were eliminated, many kuffar were wounded. On 7 Jumada Al-'Awwal 1429 (12 May 2008), sabotage unit of Mujahideen of Kurchalou sector of Eastern Front of Armed Forces of the Caucasus Emirate (commander Amir Zaurbek), attacked a squad of murtadin in the district of Nikihat village. As a result of this attack 4 murtadin were eliminated and 4 Mujahideen were wounded. Meanwhile, on the night of 9 Jumada Al-'Awwal 1429 (14 May 2008) sabotage unit of Mujahideen bombarded the checkpoint of kuffar Yandarbiyev (formerly Oktyabrskiy) district of Jokhar city. Several shells from rifle grenades were fired on the checkpoint. The precise data on losses among the kuffar is unknown. Other details were not reported. Source: Kavkaz Center
 

Russia-Georgia tensions over Abkhazia and South Ossetia independence Even as a new president taking over the Kremlin reigns, long-standing tensions between Russia and Georgia over breakaway Abkhazia and South Ossetia regions in Georgia have flared dangerously recent days with each country accusing the other of provocative actions that risk war. Russia has moved troops and armor into Abkhazia last week to respond to a Georgian military buildup along the unofficial border with the breakaway region of the Caucasus republic. But Georgia has warned of military action, if Russian forces interfere.

 

Senate Moves Forward on Orwellian "Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act" Under cover of studying "violent radicalization," both bills would broaden the already-fluid definition of "terrorism" to encompass political activity and protest by dissident groups, effectively criminalizing civil disobedience and non-violent direct action by developing policies for "prevention, disruption and mitigation." Crafted by former House Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Jane Harman (D-CA), the legislation would create a domestic commission, a university-based "Center of Excellence" that would study and then, target domestic "radicalization" as a "threat" to the "homeland."

 

US and Iraq Regime Holding 51,000 Iraqi Behind Closed Bars, Most Illegally Given previous reports of torture and murder of inmates both in U.S. and Iraqi custody, it comes as no surprise the report descirbes conditions in the prisons as grim. “U.S. forces are holding nearly all of these persons indefinitely, without an arrest warrant, without charge, and with no opportunity for those held to defend themselves in a trial,” writes Ciara Gilmartin, the Security Council Program Coordinator at Global Policy Forum(GPF), of New York City, which compiled the information. “While the United States has put in place a formal review procedure that supposedly evaluates all detainees for release on a regular basis, detainees cannot attend these reviews, cannot confront evidence against them, and cannot be represented properly by an attorney,” Gilmartin said.
 

Freedom Rider: America Brings Hell to Somalia The U.S. "war on terror" is in fact a war on international law and civilization, a catch-all category of assaults on the weak. Under the anti-terror banner, Washington grinds Somalia into the sand, through hi-tech weaponry and the deployment of Ethiopian surrogates. No more rationale is offered for murderous aggression in the Horn of Africa than the presence of people the U.S. calls "Islamists" - a label designed to excuse any and all American crimes against Muslims. "More than 600,000 Somalis have fled from their homes and at least 6,000 are dead." The savaging of Somalia is nonpartisan - Democrats are as bloody-handed as Republicans. "It takes foolish optimism to think that the willing accomplices to crime will change their ways when Bush is gone."

 

Is the 'intelligent community' intelligent? When we are in troubling times we should be able to trust our intelligence community, our government, and our press. Unfortunately, such trust is at times misplaced. Have we learned anything?

The Secret World The Story Good and Evil

And (have We not) shown him (man) the two highways? But he has made no haste on the path that is steep. Holy Qur'an: Al-Balad verses 10 and 11.

The confrontation between the forces of this world, plays itself out in a complex story, of the events that unfold through the many machinations that men create, by their various endeavours, composed of all sorts of intentions. To the public in general, things do not seem to have any particular pattern, nor does there seem to be much meaning behind most events. That for the average person, there is not much significant outside his daily coming and goings. But a careful examination of the interplay of these conflicting forces, reveals complicated, cleverly schemed operation, which displays the actually deeply meaningful course of reality. That life is the conception of a much more sophisticated wisdom than what we had previously envisioned. The following is a humble attempt to expose some of that reality. We are in a particular period in time, when darkness is predominating. Some of what you are about to read may appear fantastic, but we must remember that our failure to apprehend such matters, is merely the sad fact of underestimating our own selves. We underestimate the potential for good and bad in human beings, because we underestimate ourselves. God created us with an intellect, but we fail to exercise it to its true potential. The capabilities of our intellect lie far beyond what we suspect.

This text is merely a brief resume of the subject, only to introduce the reader to it. Most facts, are presented with the bare minimum of evidence, but the reader can further explore each matter on his own in order to further feed their accounts. He will find its evidences at every step he takes, if he doesn’t satisfy himself merely of reports from others, but investigates matters for himself. Not forgetting to take full advantage of his intuition as a guide into subjects that need inquiry.

Brainwashing in America Brainwashing is not, as some anti-Christian educators and students contend, the Biblical process of training our children to love and follow God. The word "brainwashing" refers to a planned, step-by-step attempt to "wash" family-taught beliefs from the minds of those who oppose government ideology. In America, it would mean replacing the old Biblical values and world view with a new way of thinking that would support a totalitarian agenda. In other words, every child must become a peace child, a willing and active servant of a new world order. A massive world-wide partnership is pioneering new strategies for social transformation. The media, the entertainment industry, computer companies, government agencies, educational institutions, the United Nations and its accredited non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have all joined together in a common quest for a global mind change. They seek solidarity -- a worldwide unity based on a new set of beliefs and values. "Obsolete" and "exclusive" loyalties to national sovereignty, Biblical values, and the unadulterated U.S. Constitution stand in their way.

 

EDUCATION -- BRAINWASHING During the Korean War, American prisoners were brainwashed to question their previous beliefs and learn new doctrines. Some of the younger, less mature prisoners didn't have much knowledge of political dogma, so it wasn't a matter of relearning, but rather filling a void. Those who were slow to absorb material received special attention. The sessions were compulsory; those who questioned or resisted were punished.

In America, a child has the choice of going to kindergarten; most do because their friends attend and it sounds like fun. The next year, the first grade is compulsory, by law. The first minute of the first grade, a change takes place: the child is subtly, without his or even his parents knowledge, brainwashed with a very important shift in their whole makeup. The freedom known and lived in the first years of life is gone. Government authorities now know what is best for the next, very formative years, "for our own good."

This lesson of authority and government approved versions of history and the world, is subtly hidden in the worthwhile programs of reading, writing, arithmetic, hot lunches, playgrounds, etc. Kindergarten (a German word) brings this about on a painless installment plan. This is a benign, though just as effective form of an authoritarian youth program. Government approved history is from George Orwell's "1984"; government compulsory education is subtle brainwashing. This early, premeditated ignorance is the strength, the foundation, the first cause of any paternalistic authority: IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.  A "free" education that enslaves the mind, is a very high price to pay.

 

Islam & the Economic Question In order to address the economic system in Islam, we first of all need to clarify the position of Islam in relation to the quest for material well being. This is because the word dunya, which is associated with material wealth or worldly matters has become a dirty word for many Muslims. The separation of deen from dunya (secularism) is a Western-Christian concept that has recently become widely internalised amongst Muslims. Consequently, seeking to increase in economic or worldly matters is frowned upon, - while continuous engagement in prayer and other personal ibadat is regarded as meritorious. As such, many people get confused and conduct a double life. On the one hand, money talks, it gives status and makes life comfortable, so they seek it vigorously. On the other, they feel guilty, thinking that their effort should be spent on 'religious' duties.

 

The Jinn (something hidden or which cannot be seen) "Two thousand years before (mankind) was created, there were Jinn on (the Earth), and they caused corruption on it and shed blood. Then Allah sent against them a troop of Angels who beat them and cast them away to islands in the seas. So, when Allah said: ‘I am placing (mankind) generations after generations on Earth,’ They (the Angels) said, ‘Will You place therein one who will cause corruption and shed blood’ (Al Baqarah, 2:30), That is: Just as those Jinn did?? Then Allah said: ‘I know that which you do not know.’" Al-Hakim

We can not ordinarily see the Jinn, unless they take a material form, which is usually in an unpleasant or ugly form such as a snake or a black dog, as opposed to angels who take pleasant and handsome forms. They can also take a human form.

 

The World of the Jinn In many aspects of their world, the Jinn are very similar to us. They eat and drink, they marry, have children and they die. The life span however, is far greater then ours. Like us, they will also be subject to a Final Reckoning by Allah the Most High. They will be present with mankind on the Day of Judgement and will either go to Paradise or Hell.

That which clearly distinguishes the Jinn from mankind, are their powers and abilities. Allah has given them these powers as a test for them. If they oppress others with them, then they will be held accountable. By knowing of their powers, we can often make sense of much of the mysteries which go on around us. One of the powers of the Jinn, is that they are able to take on any physical form they like. Thus, they can appear as humans, animals trees and anything else. Over the last few years the interest in the subject of aliens and UFO's has become heightened.
 

Programmes such as the X-files and the Outer limits have increased the popularity of the theory that aliens exist. Thousands of people have sighted strange looking creatures all over the world. These sightings however, have still not proven substantially that aliens exist. Rather - and it seems more plausible all the sightings of such creatures were just Jinns parading in different forms. So the next time you see something that looks like E.T, its most probably just a wicked Jinn trying to scare and confuse you!

 

86 Indian worshippers of Idols occupation military terrorists commit suicide since Jan 2007 Srinagar, May 15 (KMS): In occupied Kashmir, an Indian trooper of Border Security Force committed suicide by hanging himself at army headquarter in Bandipora taking the death toll of such killings amongst the troops to 86 since January 2007.
 

India deploys extra companies of terrorists in IHK, Israel to deliver long-range reconnaissance devices Jammu, May 15 (KMS): The Indian government has decided to deploy four additional companies of the Indian Border Security Force in occupied Kashmir. Along with increased personnel, more night vision devices, thermal imagery, ground sensors and battlefield surveillance radars would be inducted in Jammu region including the Line of Control areas.

Quoting the daily Indian tribune newspaper, the Indian Home Ministry of affairs sanctioned a comprehensive package of Rs 2,300 crore for the paramilitary forces. The Indian ministry has also been proposing to construct 697 border outposts (BoP) on entire Indo-Pakistan border. To further modernize and strengthen the Border Security Force, the ministry has already procured 10 long-range reconnaissance and observation system (LORROS), whereas 10 are in the process of being procured. An Israeli firm will deliver all the systems. 33 mobile surveillance vehicles at a cost of Rs 3 crore each would be inducted into the force shortly. “These vehicles fitted with modern surveillance equipments will be capable of carrying out 24 hours surveillance and operational in all types of climate and all types of terrain. The BSF will also be equipped with battlefield surveillance radars system (BFSR),” the paper said. The BFSR will have auto detection, auto-tracking capability and will function at a distance of 12 km and can scan the area at 350 degrees. The BSF till date possesses 946 hand-held thermal devises, and will soon get another 671 such devices at an estimate cost of Rs 231.97 crore.

Gaza: The children killed in a war the world doesn't want to know about The conflict in Gaza has attracted relatively little international attention, not least because for five weeks it was overshadowed by that in Lebanon. But the death toll has continued to rise.

 

President Bush committed political treason today But what Bush did in Israel this morning goes well beyond the accepted confines of American political debate, When the president speaks to a foreign parliament on behalf of our country, his message needs to be clear and unambiguous. Our democracy may look messy to outsiders, and we may have our disagreements with some sharp elbows thrown around, but at the end of the day we are not Republicans or Democrats or liberals or conservatives. We are Americans. And you, Mr. Bush, are the leader of us all. To use a diplomatic setting on foreign soil to score a cheap political point at home is way beneath your office, way beneath your country, and way beneath the people you serve.

 

My pain in Human rights day To be honest I laughed when I read the declaration in the UN site…I laughed a lot but the more I laugh the more I bleed…I was laughing on the way we are living and how should humans live, I was laughing on the new democracy and freedom, I was laughing on the idiots that without any shame or disgrace show up in the TV and speak about the new Iraq and how sacrifices must be done and Iraq will be a model and everyone should help each other to build the new Iraq…what new Iraq those rats are talking about? How could they build a country in this way? Do they really want to build it depending on a foundation of humiliation, violations, sectarianism and genocides they caused and carried on?

 

we shouldn't feel guilty about our food choices but angry with a corrupt food system TV dinners were launched at a time when only a small percentage of Americans actually owned TVs. Thus, the meals, writes Raj Patel, "were what people ate while they dreamed of affording one." In the American dream, we imagine a bucolic Midwest, a place of bounty, yet the reality is that the breadbasket of America is rife with poverty and a declining life expectancy. The idyllic vision of quaint American farmland doesn't work like that "except in fiction," says Patel, and there is perhaps no greater fiction than the comforting hand of the free market -- particularly as it pertains to food.

Video Jesus (peace be upon him) preached Jihad

 

Muhammad, A Guidance to follow Muhammad as a man had already died, but as a Prophet he left behind him a legacy in the form of the Qur’an and the Sunnah. He stressed the urgent need to hold firmly to these two sources during his Farewell speech in the valley of Arafat. If people hold fast to them, they will never go astray.

The teachings he left for us if put into practice in their true spirit and proper way will bring a happy life in this world and besides the indubitable rewards that will be received by those who believed in them in the life after death.

In this sense, Islam is a worldly religion which cares first for the worldly affairs of humanity. The hereafter is merely a continuation of the worldly life. It is difficult to portend that man can be saved in the hereafter without being saved in this world. The safe way is to follow the way shown to us by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). When his wife, ‘Aishah, was asked by a companion about the Prophet’s daily conduct, ‘Aishah replied that the conduct of the Prophet is the Qur’an which is the guidance from Allah and Muhammad was given authority by Allah to interpret it. That is why his conduct is exemplary of human conduct. Islam as brought by the Prophet Muhammad is very much misunderstood as a religion of rituals only like prayers, fasting, almsgiving and pilgrimage. Thanks to the new developments in the world, Islam is now looked upon In a wider perspective than the narrow-minded view.

The increased interest in Islamic studies by Muslims and non-Muslims supported by the advanced printing technology, has begun to open the eyes of the world about the true teaching and intrinsic values of Islam.

 

Secularisation no answer for Muslim world Contrary to popular opinion, Islam, in its political manifestation, is democratic - if democracy means that people choose their own leaders and laws are passed through discussion and deliberation. The Prophet Mohammed himself refrained from appointing a successor, instead allowing people to choose the next ruler of the fledgling Islamic state. Umar, the second Caliph (ruler), said that the ruler can be chosen only through the consultative approval of the people. However, Islamic democracy differs from secular democracy in that the right of the people to legislate is limited by what they believe to be a higher law, to which human law is subordinate. There is no axiom that states that a democracy must be secular, in the same way that there is no axiom that states that a secular system is intrinsically democratic.

The subordination of law-making to the Koran and Sunnah (traditions of the Prophet Mohammed) made Muslim society immune to absolute tyranny and dictatorship. Such emphasis also prevented absolute tyranny by giving Islamic scholars more legislative power than the ruler. It was their word that was final on many matters. If the ruler made a decision that was contrary to that of the ulema (people of knowledge), his decision was to be rejected. There is a stark contrast between past glories and current reality. Whereas once the Muslim world was ruled by a single caliphate, its post-colonial manifestation is a collection of weak, mostly secular, nation-states. Termed "bunker regimes" by Samuel Huntington, their guns face their own people, ruthlessly repressing dissent and committing some of the worst violations of human rights.

Anglo-American Ascendancy Lost in Unnecessary Wars In a new book that will infuriate the fake conservatives who inhabit the Republican Party, Patrick J. Buchanan documents how British self-righteousness, delusion, and hubris destroyed both the British Empire and Western ascendancy in two unnecessary wars launched by a small cabal of morons that ruled Britain Churchill, Hitler, and the Unnecessary War shows that the two world wars that destroyed European civilization began when England declared war on Germany, thus dragging in the Empire, Commonwealth, and United States. This was a strategic blunder unparalleled in history. Mighty Britain emerged from World War II as an American dependency.

Buchanan cites such British notables as F.J.P. Veale, B.H. Liddell Hart, and C.P. Snow to document that it was Winston Churchill who committed, in Veale’s words, “the first deliberate breach of the fundamental rule of civilized warfare that hostilities must only be waged against the enemy combatant forces.” It was Churchill, not Hitler, who first targeted civilian populations in World War II and caused the structure of civilized warfare to collapse in ruins. The Americans quickly adopted Churchill’s criminal policy of attacking civilians, culminating in the outrageous use of nuclear weapons against two Japanese cities, the slaughter of Vietnamese civilians, and the ongoing slaughter of Afghan and Iraqi civilians.

 

Ottawa's silence called tacit approval of U.S. abuse of Canadian citizens Canada's silence about how the United States deals with Canadian citizens on terror-related issues amounts to tacit approval of widely condemned practices such as rendition to torture and illegal detention, observers said Tuesday. That Ottawa knew the U.S. paid a $500,000 bounty to Pakistan to capture Abdullah Khadr but kept quiet about it, despite the high risk of torture, is just the latest example of Canada's reluctance to stand up for its own, they said. "What they certainly should be doing is speaking out about this type of conduct, especially when it's committed against a Canadian citizen," said Khadr's lawyer, Nate Whitling.
 

Corporations Grab Climate Genes First the biotech industry promised that its genetically engineered seeds would clean up the environment. Then they told us biotech crops would feed the world. Neither came to pass. Soon we’ll hear that genetically engineered climate-hardy seeds are the essential adaptation strategy for crops to withstand drought, heat, cold, saline soils and more.

The Media World: The Other Battle Front Modern wars are fought on various battlefronts, not least on the media front. The media has continued to insist on things that are absolutely not true, twisting facts, repeating lies and manipulating public opinion in order to support their wrong cause. Media reports and presentations of events in areas of conflict such as in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, etc. are biased and slanted to such an extent that we do not get a correct picture of what is happening.

Embedded journalists cannot know the war from the other side, nor can they report it objectively, even if they know the truth. The news we receive from the global fake news industry has nothing to do with news. The actual news exists, but hidden behind web sites that only the US Governmentals – and those with a “special relation” have an access. World media is controlled by the rich and powerful countries of the world, and it is only natural that their interests are safeguarded in the featuring of news stories. Hype, slant, and spin are the order of the day in the media world.

 

The Malaise Of The Ummah: Diagnosis And Solutions It is now well recognized that the 1.5 billion people who call themselves Muslims are in a state of multiple crises encompassing all aspects of life. The explanations offered for this devastating state of their political, economic, cultural, and social lives vary depending upon the perspectives used for such analyses, but all answers eventually fall into two broad categories: in the first category are explanations that hold Islam responsible for this state of affairs; in the second are those that consider the abandonment of Islam by Muslims as the main cause of their decline.

The former views Islam as a static dogma that is antithetical to progress; the latter considers Islam to be a dynamic system of life, meant for all times and places. The former perspective originated in the West some 300 years ago and has seeped into the Muslim world, where it has now assumed a modified form in which, instead of blaming Islam directly, a circuitous route is used to find fault with it by saying that it is not Islam but a static interpretation of it that is the root cause of the decline of Muslims. The remedy suggested by these people calls for a new and “enlightened” interpretation of Islam—an interpretation that is consonant with modernity, which is, in turn, equated with progress.

 

Eco Group Calls For "Voluntary Human Extinction"  Says masses should be indoctrinated to stop having children in order that the human race can die out and save the planet.

 

Capitalism, Agribusiness and the Food Sovereignty Alternative  "Nowhere in the world, in no act of genocide, in no war, are so many people killed per minute, per hour and per day as those who are killed by hunger and poverty on our planet." —Fidel Castro, 1998

 

When food riots broke out in Haiti last month, the first country to respond was Venezuela. Within days, planes were on their way from Caracas, carrying 364 tons of badly needed food. The people of Haiti are "suffering from the attacks of the empire's global capitalism," Venezuelan president Hugo Chàvez said. "This calls for genuine and profound solidarity from all of us. It is the least we can do for Haiti." Venezuela's action is in the finest tradition of human solidarity. When people are hungry, we should do our best to feed them. Venezuela's example should be applauded and emulated. But aid, however necessary, is only a stopgap. To truly address the problem of world hunger, we must understand and then change the system that causes it.
 

Protest Camps Against American Military Bases in Japan and Italy The presence of the US military, 63 years after World War II, is a huge source of anger for the citizens of Japan, Korea, Germany and Italy. On the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, the US military uses an artillery firing range known as Yausubetsu. The range is small in comparison to ranges in the United States and Germany - only 30 kilometers by 10 kilometers - but the source of irritation to Japanese farmers whose land was taken for the range and for those who live near the range is large. The peaceful rolling hills and valleys of the area are the home of the dairy industry of Hokkaido. The Japanese have used a cartoon of an angry dairy cow with boxing gloves as their symbol of protest of the US military's use of the range.

 

U.S. paid $500K bounty for Khadr arrest, records show  Newly disclosed documents show Canada knew the United States secretly paid Pakistan $500,000 to capture Canadian citizen Abdullah Khadr in what his lawyers said Monday was another notorious example of Washington's outsourcing of torture. The U.S., which is seeking to have Khadr, who was born in Toronto, extradited from Canada on charges he bought weapons for al-Qaida and plotted to kill American troops in Afghanistan, opted to use Pakistan to do its dirty work, the lawyers said.

Who Are the Gitmo Prisoners Released With Sami al-Haj? 36-year old Amir Yacoub al-Amir was one of at least 120 prisoners (around 15 percent of Guantánamo's entire population), who were captured not in Afghanistan, but in Pakistan, without ever having been anywhere near the battlefields of Afghanistan. In his tribunal at Guantánamo (one of the Combatant Status Review Tribunals convened in 2004 and 2005 to assess whether, on capture, the prisoners had been correctly designated as “enemy combatants” without rights), al-Amir strenuously denied an allegation that he was associated with al-Qaeda, saying, "I disagree with al-Qaeda on everything," and also denied being associated with the Taliban.

Seized from a car in Peshawar in March 2002, while visiting Pakistan, al-Amir’s story echoes reports by numerous other innocent men seized in Pakistan, who said that they were captured and sold for money, a situation that was confirmed at the highest levels in 2006, when, in his autobiography, President Musharraf boasted that in return for handing over 369 terror suspects (who were mostly transferred to Guantánamo), "We have earned bounty payments totaling millions of dollars." In Guantánamo, al-Amir explained that he was seized because the Pakistani government "was capturing any Arab and giving them to the United States as terrorists."

Cops in America Can Kill Some People With Impunity So while the corporate press would have us believe that reporting on what a former Vice Presidential nominee says about a Presidential candidate is a discussion of race, the prospects are that black and brown men and women will continue to be murdered by police officers who, fundamentally, seem scared of black people. That fear apparently extends to the larger community because juries construct ways to let murderous police officers escape just punishment.

 

72% of India's fruit, vegetable produce goes waste About 72 per cent of the fruit and vegetable production of country goes waste because of lack of proper retailing and adequate storage capacity, an agriculture ministry official said here on Monday. P K Mishra, secretary in the ministry's department of agriculture and co-operation, said so while was speaking at a Fruit and Vegetable Summit organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). “The production of vegetables in India is next only to China. The vegetable and fruit production contributes more than 30 per cent of the agriculture GDP. The crop diversification has led to rise in horticulture production, which has reached 185.2 billion tonnes last year,” Mishra pointed out. “But the real challenge starts after the production. More than 72 per cent of the vegetable and fruits are wasted in the absence of proper retailing,” Mishra said.

Health ministry: Entire health services doomed to collapse due to siege  The health ministry in the PA caretaker government on Monday warned that the entire health services in the Gaza Strip are doomed to collapse due to the repeated power outages and lack of fuel to operate generators. The ministry said in a press release that the health conditions in the Strip are heading towards a downward slope in the light of the endless Israeli aggressions and the strict blockade on the Strip that finished off the modest capabilities of the ministry. It appealed to WHO along with legal and humanitarian organizations to pressure the Israeli occupation authority to end the problem and not just to limit it.

The difference between the Capitalist, Communist & the Islamic economic System If we examine the Capitalist economic system we find that, in their view, it deals with man’s needs and the means of satisfying those needs. It only addresses the materialistic side of man’s life and it is established on three principles:

1. There is a relative scarcity of commodities and services in relation to needs. This means the insufficiency of commodities and services to meet the ever-increasing needs of man. This is the society's economic problem from their viewpoint.

2. The value of a product, is the basis of most economic research and study.

3. The price, and its role in production, consumption, and distribution. The price is the cornerstone of the Capitalist economic system.

 

US war dead cremated in same facility as pets: Pentagon An unidentified army officer complained earlier Friday after visiting the military's mortuary at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to pay respects to a comrade who had been killed in combat, officials said. He discovered that the soldier was to be cremated at a facility off the base that had a sign outside saying it was a pet crematorium, they said.

 

Global Poverty: More Big Business Is Not the Solution By most accounts, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown is genuinely passionate about reducing global poverty. But he is not willing to challenge the structures of the global economy that generate poverty, or the corporations that build, benefit from and maintain those structures. Nor, apparently, is he immune to gimmicky notions of corporate leadership to support development, or the lure of high-profile summits to shed light on new plans to do — very little.

Thus, earlier this week the UK was treated to the spectacle of the Business Call to Action summit, which Brown’s office co-sponsored with the UN Development Program. More than 80 CEOs of large companies gathered with Brown and other luminaries to discuss how they could help meet the Millennium Development Goals, which aspire to reduce global poverty by half by 2015. Roughly two dozen of these CEOs — from Anglo American, Bechtel, Citigroup, Coca-Cola, De Beers, Diageo, FedEx, Goldman Sachs, GE, Merck, Microsoft, SAB Miller, Wal-Mart and others — have signed the Business Call to Action, which states, “as leaders from the private sector, we declare our commitment to meet this development emergency.”

 

Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan military operations against the kafirs, munafiqs and the worshippers of Idols

Al-Shabaab: 70 Ethiopian Christian kafirs terrorists occupation military terrorists killed and injured after a deadly ambush Wednesday 30 Rabiul thani 1429 = 07/05/2008. Early this morning the Mujahideen of Al-Shabaab targeted a colony of Tigre vehicles which came from Afgooye and was hedding towards Baydhabo, with a deadly ambush. This battle occurred in the area known as Tabeelaha which is between Warxaman and Wallaweyn, and lasted for nearly one hour. The Mujahideen opened this battle with heavily mines/IED’s which they targeted on Ural vehicles carrying Tigre troops, and after that they began using RPG’s and other heavily ammunitions. The Mujahideen verified that the Tigre enemy suffered the greatest casualties so far on this road, and three vehicles carrying Tigre troops were destroyed and also 70 were killed and injured. Totally, this battle was the battle that caused the most casualties to the Habashi ever since the Mujahideen of Al-Shabaab promised to wage battles that will make the disbelievers cry, after they had killed on an air strike the army leader of the Mujahideen of Al-Shabaab Macalin Aadan Xaashi(ra) (Abu Muxsin Al Ansaari)

Al-Shabaab: Killing 4 troops, injuring 7 and taking 2 vehicles as booty Saturday 03 jamaadul-awal 1429 = 10/05/2008. The unit of Al-Shabaab who operate at the lower Shabeele (Shabeelada hoose) waged a surprise attack on a colony of vehicles carrying the bodyguards of the finance minster, while they were driving close to the village of Yaaqbari-wayne. The Mujahideen of Al-Shabaab who had worked killed 4 of the ridaa troops, especially the bodyguards of that murtad who have claimed to be “minister”, also they have confirmed that 7 others were injured. On the side of the Mujahideen, they captured two of the vehicles belonging to the ridaa troops. These type of operations have grown stronger these days, those whom theirs aim is the Tigre and the Ridaa troops, depending on who’s first. It was last week when more then 70 Tigre troops were killed on this same road. Anyway, this attack will expel the vehicles of the ridaa troops ore the heads of the ridaa government who use this road which connects Baydhabo and Mogadishu, and what’s clear is that the Heads of the Munafiqeen (hypocrites) in Baydhabo are isolated.
 

Al-Shabaab: Killing 8 soldiers in Baydhabo, amongs them the army commander in Diinsoor Wednesday 30 Rabiul thani 1429 = 07/05/2008. The Explosion/IED unit of the Mujahideen of Al-Shabaab attacked with a big blast on a Cabdi Bile vehicle carrying a group of the ridaa troops, while they were driving at the area known as Maanyafuulka in Baydhabo. The Mujahideen targeted with that blessed mine/IED the commander of the Ridaa troops who had run away from Diinsoor, and his name is Cornell Kowte. He was among the 8 soldiers who were killed, by the blessing of Allah. That operation also injured 3 of the ridaa soldiers and theirs injuries are very critical since the mine/IED was so big, and Allah guided it on them and it destroyed fully the whole vehicle. The Organization of the Mujahideen of Al-Shabaab in Bay and Bakool have the majority support of our Muslim people in the area, after the Mujahideen had established the Islamic sharia on the cities under their control, and they also established security.

 IRAQ: Food Crisis Hits Fallujah Farmers have been struggling with changing times. "We changed our motors from electric to diesel oil to avoid electricity failures during the UN sanctions (during the 1990s)," Raad Sammy, an agriculture engineer who has a small farm in Saqlawiya on the outskirts of Fallujah told IPS. "We used to have a minimum of 12 hours electricity per day under the programmed cut, but there is practically no electricity now. And now we also have to face lack of fuel for our pumps, and the incredible increase of fuel prices on the black market." The price of agricultural products has skyrocketed. "The average price for one kilogram of tomatoes is approximately one dollar," Yasseen Kamil, a grocer in Fallujah told IPS. "This price is when there is no crisis such as Americans blocking the entrance into the city. It is naturally doubled in winter when we have to import everything from Syria and Jordan." Fallujah residents say the price of food now exceeds their income. The average income for government employees is 170 dollars a month, and no more than 100 dollars for labourers and salesmen.
 

Why the presidential candidates won't talk about Israel Israel, celebrating its 60th birthday last week, has proved to be an expensive ally for the United States. Since its birth, Israel has received at least $114 billion from the US in direct foreign economic and military aid, says Shirl McArthur, a retired US diplomat who periodically updates his Israel cost estimates for the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs (WREMA), a magazine often critical of US policy toward Israel.

That estimate, Mr. McArthur notes, is conservative. For instance, he has not factored inflation into that $114 billion cumulative sum. The late Washington economist Thomas Stauffer did that calculation several years ago. He found total official aid to Israel, up to 2002, came to $247 billion. He added other costs of US support of Israel (interest on debt, higher oil prices, etc.) to reach a highly controversial total of $1.6 trillion.

 

Video and Photos: Israeli Army Raid and Loot Hebron Orphanage home to 110 girls Witnesses said that approximately 40 Israeli soldiers raided the sewing workshop, which is located on the first floor of a girls’ orphanage operated by the Islamic Society, at 1am on Wednesday. In the course of a two hour raid, the Israeli troops ransacked the workshop after breaking down its main gates and doors. Israeli soldiers confiscated all the sewing machines, furniture, and clothes which were to be given to orphans. International human rights workers with the organization Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) said: “soldiers looted the workshop of all its sewing and processing machines, office equipment, rolls of cloth, finished clothing and supplies.” Members of CPT documented the raid, and the contents of the workshop being loaded into two forty foot tucks.

 

Americans Are Living (And Dying) In A Militarized Police State Today, police departments across the United States more closely resemble an occupying army than they do public servants responding to calls for help. Police officers can now be seen wearing helmets and body armor and carrying AR-15's, just to deliver simple warrants. The militarization of our police departments not only gives the appearance of a military dictatorship but places the public at great risk.  No less than 70 percent of U.S. cities now have SWAT teams. In cities with a population of 50,000 or more, 90 percent have SWAT teams. Eastern Kentucky University professor Peter Kraska told the Washington Post that SWAT teams are currently sent out 40,000 times a year in the U.S. During the 1980's, SWAT teams were only used 3,000 times a year. Most of the time, SWAT teams are being sent out to simply serve warrants on non-violent drug offenders. Many municipalities are using Homeland Security grants to even purchase large armored vehicles. The Pittsburgh Police Department now uses their 20-ton armored truck complete with rotating turret and gun ports to deliver many of their warrants. Pittsburgh Police Sgt. Barry Budd recently told the Associate Press: "We live on being prepared for 'what if'."  Our police departments now regularly receive free surplus equipment from the U.S. military, which they readily accept.

 

The World at 350: A Last Chance for Civilization Even for Americans, constitutionally convinced that there will always be a second act, and a third, and a do-over after that, and, if necessary, a little public repentance and forgiveness and a Brand New Start -- even for us, the world looks a little Terminal right now.  It's not just the economy. We've gone through swoons before. It's that gas at $4 a gallon means we're running out, at least of the cheap stuff that built our sprawling society. It's that when we try to turn corn into gas, it sends the price of a loaf of bread shooting upwards and starts food riots on three continents. It's that everything is so inextricably tied together. It's that, all of a sudden, those grim Club of Rome types who, way back in the 1970s, went on and on about the "limits to growth" suddenly seem… how best to put it, right.  All of a sudden it isn't morning in America, it's dusk on planet Earth. There's a number -- a new number -- that makes this point most powerfully.
 

China quake: 5,000 dead in just one county A 7.8 magnitude earthquake in southwest China has killed up to 5,000 people and left as many as 10,000 injured, state media said, as hundreds of children remained trapped in at least eight collapsed schools .An estimated 3,000 to 5,000 people were killed in Beichuan county of mountainous Sichuan province alone after the quake hit the region during the early afternoon on Monday, Xinhua news agency said, citing the local government. As many as 10,000 in Beichuan county (population 161,000) were feared injured and 80 percent of the buildings there had been destroyed, the report said. The quake's epicentre was in the nearby county of Wenchuan and its force caused buildings to sway across China and as far away as the Thai capital Bangkok. Buildings were toppled in at least six counties near the epicentre, Xinhua said. In Beijing which will host the summer Olympics in August, there was no visible damage to the Olympic stadium. Premier Wen Jiabao arrived in Chengdu and President Hu Jintao ordered an “all-out” rescue effort, Xinhua reported. Thousands of army troops and paramilitary People's Armed Police carrying medical supplies also headed to the region, state television said. But a landslide had blocked a mountain road leading to Wenchuan, preventing troops from reaching the scene, state radio said. Xinhua said there was no immediate impact to the Three Gorges Dam project.

 

Developing countries eye nuclear power: U.S. newspaper More than 40 developing countries have recently approached United Nations officials to express interest in starting nuclear power programs, the Washington Post reported on Monday. The interest among developing countries ranging from the Gulf to Latin America is a concern to proliferation experts, who say it could provide the building blocks for nuclear arsenals in some of the countries, the Post said. The newspaper said much of the interest in nuclear power is driven by economic considerations including the high cost of fossil fuels.

 

CIA Agent Chasing Israeli "Suitcase Nuke" in Houston, Killed by Police! Federal sources close to this case have told me CIA Agent Roland Carnaby had proof a "suitcase nuke" had arrived inside the U.S. from Israel on Tuesday. He was chasing the device and the Israelis who had it. Federal sources have told me that they fear the detonation of a small nuclear device in or around Houston/Galveston, TX. They say the old refineries there need to be modernized and expanded, but environmental regulations require companies clean up existing ground pollution before they will allow those refineries to be modernized. The costs of such environmental clean-up would make new refineries too costly. HOWEVER. . . . . a "terrorist attack" in that region would destroy the refineries and simultaneously shift all the clean up costs to. . . . . . the taxpayer! Gee. How convenient for our Texas Oil Guy President, VP and all their rich Texas Oil Buddies!

Native News Roundup “After a “tense exchange this morning….the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) disbanded a Mohawk roadblock erected on the perimeter of a reclaimed quarry site. This resulted in a tense face-off between the OPP and community members. At present, the OPP has removed one of the roadblocks and pulled back, but remains present in the direct vicinity of the quarry in great numbers. At the center of the dispute is the Culbertson Tract, land which rightfully belongs to the Mohawks of Tyendinaga

 

Anti-Poverty Committee Responds to Anti-Olympic Activist Scare The report attempts to investigate the links between several anti-colonial/capitalist organizations from across occupied 'Canada' to insurgent Chiapas Mexico. The report fesses up [to] the fact that a growing number of people are participating in a growing number of property attacks that target Olympic sponsors. Fortunately all acts promise an increase in sabotage; and not close to one arrest has been made!

 

Canada's plan to enrich uranium Does Stephen Harper’s Conservative government have a hidden nuclear agenda? Not if you happen to live outside Canada. The Canadian government has been campaigning internationally for months to add this country to the small, tightly circumscribed club of nuclear enrichment states. But the diplomatic arm-twisting only came to light less than three weeks ago, when the United States announced it was dropping its insistence on a ban on uranium enrichment technology to non-nuclear states. Anonymous negotiators at the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group meeting in Vienna emerged to say the American demand had been shelved primarily at the insistence of Canada, which wants to build uranium enrichment plants.
 

Heads They Win, Tails You Lose: Canadian Nickel Companies in Guatemala The story of Skye Resources in Guatemala is a story that's been told before, almost to the letter. The dominant narrative is about the wonders of economic development thanks to a large, Canadian owned nickel project. Instead of Skye Resources, the major player in Guatemala's past was one of Canada's top hats: the International Nickel Company (Inco). The history of North American mining projects in the region is a window to understanding the current activities of Skye Resources in the area, and it puts today's race for minerals, led by Canadian mining companies, into context.
 

Destroying the best of Britain In his latest column for the New Statesman, John Pilger describes how the New Labour government is destroying one of the the venerable features of "communal decency" in Britain - the local post office. Economies need to be made, though not in the pursuit of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

 

Dollar, not supply, causes record oil - Iran official The weak U.S. dollar is the main reason behind oil prices rising to record levels, not demand or supply factors, an Iranian Oil Ministry official was quoted as saying on Saturday. "We must be aware that it is not the price of crude oil that has risen but the dollar value that has weakened," said Mohammad Ali Khatibi, deputy director of international affairs at the National Iranian Oil Company.

 Bush Says Starving India Eats Too Much The global policeman Bush, in the time-honoured traditions of backyard bully, has long harboured the habit of dictating to nations who their friends and enemies should be. Now, he has taken to telling nations how much they should eat, and of wagging a disapproving finger at poor nations whose middle class has made some improvements in its diet
