Israel is "Pure Evil" says Israeli Writer

Stands to reason that Israel, the capital of the

Masonic Jew World Order, would reveal its

true character.


Gideon Levi:

"Israel may not be Nazi, nor even a fascist state.

Yet it is a member of the family of evil states.

Just consider these acts

of evil perpetrated by the state..."




Gideon Levy (and Amira Hass,_ who is also on Ha'aretz, are the only remaining journalists in Israel who have dedicated themselves to stopping the move to the racist far-right in Israel. Unsurprisingly, both are heavily criticized by the (left wing?) Israeli Labour Party and under constant attack by nationalists. They have to put up with constant death and other physical threats in this, the 'only democracy in the Middle East.'

Stop Living in Denial; Israel Is an Evil State

(henrymakow.com)


After we've cited nationalism and racism, hatred and contempt for Arab life, the security cult and resistance to the occupation, victimhood and messianism, one more element must be added without which the behavior of the Israeli occupation regime cannot be explained: Evil. Pure evil. Sadistic evil. Evil for its own sake. Sometimes, it's the only explanation.

Eva Illouz described its signs ("Evil now," Haaretz Hebrew edition, July 30). Her essay, which challenges the idea of the banality of evil, considers the national group as the source of the evil. Using philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein's concept, she finds a "family resemblance" between the Israeli occupation and history's evil regimes. This similarity does not mean that Israel is Nazi, nor even fascist. And yet it is a member of the same terrible family, the family of evil states. It's a depressing and brilliant analysis.


The evil that Illouz attributes to Israel is not banal, it cannot happen anywhere, and it has political and social roots that are deeply embedded in Israeli society. Thus, Illouz joins Zeev Sternhell, who warned in his impressive and resounding essay about the cultural soil out of which fascism is now growing in Israel ("The birth of fascism," Haaretz Hebrew edition, July 7).


But alongside these analyses, we must also present a brief history of evil. We must present the instances that combine to create a great and horrific picture, a picture of Israeli evil in the territories, so as to stand up to those who deny the evil.


It is not the case of the individual - Sgt. Elor Azaria, for example, who is being tried for the death of a subdued Palestinian assailant in Hebron - but the conduct of the establishment and the occupation regime that proves the evil. In fact, the continuation of the occupation proves the evil. Illouz, Sternhell and others provide debatable analyses on its origins, but whatever they are, it can no longer be denied.


One case is like a thousand witnesses: the case of Bilal Kayed. A young man who completed a prison term of 14.5 years - his entire sentence - without a single furlough, without being allowed to at least say goodbye by phone to his dying father; a clear sign of evil.


bilal-kayed-rd.jpg

About six weeks ago, Kayed was getting ready for his release. A representative of the Shin Bet security service - one of the greatest agencies of evil in Israel - even showed him a photograph of the home his family had built for him to stir him up even more ahead of his release. And then, as his family waited impatiently for him at the crossing point and Kayed grew ever more excited in his cell, he was informed that he was being thrown into administrative detention for at least another six months, without trial and without explanation.


Since then, he has been on hunger strike. He is cuffed to his bed. His family is not allowed to see him. Prison guards never leave his room and the lights are not turned out for a moment. Evil.


Only evil can explain the state's conduct toward Kayed - only an evil state acts this way. The arbitrary announcement, at the last moment, of a senseless detention is abuse, and the way he has been treated since then is also abuse.


Only evil can explain the detention last week of another young man, Hiran Jaradat, whose brother Arif (who had Down syndrome) was killed in June and whose father died two days ago. He is under arrest for "incitement on Facebook" and was not released to attend his father's funeral. Evil.


The continuation of the detention of poet Darin Tatur - evil. The destruction of the tiny swimming pool that the residents of Khirbet Tana in the northern West Bank had built for themselves - evil. The confiscation of water tanks from a community of shepherds in the Jordan Valley in the July heat - evil.


A great many of the decisions of the occupation regime that decides the fates of individuals, families, communities, villages and cities cannot be explained without evil. The list is as long as the occupation. The extortion of sick people from Gaza to enlist them as collaborators, the blockades on cities and towns for weeks, the Gaza blockade, the demolition of homes - all evil.



Banal or not, its existence must be acknowledged and it must be recognized as one of the most influential values in Israel. Yes, there is an evil regime at work in Israel, and therefore it is an evil state.

I wish these folks can just see what the mindset of the west is for once! The west have this conviction that the Middle East must be kept busy round the daan clock by making them fight, killing each other unend!! They do this to weaken them, to go in and steal thier wealth and probably to let the rest of the world have a little peace.
Can't a people come to their senses and be wise for once, after so many years of being morons? huh!!!
They cannot see the objective of Israel and the west because they've brain washed by hate and the wahabeast doctrine. I'd suggest you read the link between terrorism and the Salafists, western Intelligence, Israel and the Illuminati in a book written by david livinsgton "terrorism and the illuminati".

Foreign AffairsThe United States Supporting Us In Syria But Not Enough Al-nusra Commander(pix) by seagulsntrawler(op):
This scumbag is exposing the lies of the Empire of chaos!

A high-ranking commander of the al-Qaeda branch in Syria revealed that the United States indirectly supports rebel forces fighting Assad government in Syria, Kölner Stadtanzeiger newspaper reported.

"The U.S. support the opposition, but not directly. They support the countries which support us. But we are not yet satisfied with this support. They should support us with highly developed weapons. We have won battles thanks to the "TOW" missiles. We reached a balance with the regime through these missiles. We received the tanks from Libya through Turkey. Also the "BMs" - multiple rocket launchers", Abu al-Ezz, the jihadi commander, told reporter Jürgen Todenhöfer.

He made it clear that the group (now known as Jabhet Fateh al-Sham) doesn't recognize the ceasefire recently brokered by the US and Russia, saying that they took advantage of it in repositioning the fighters to undertake an overwhelming attack against the government forces.
,

"We do not recognize the ceasefire. We will reposition our groups. We will undertake in the next, in a few days an overwhelming attack against the regime. We have rearranged all our armed forces in all provinces, in Homs, Aleppo, Idlib and Hama", he explained.

"We accept no one from the Assad-regime or from the Free Syrian Army, which is called moderate. Our aim is the down

The Judeo Masonic Legal Octopus

September 23, 2016

ny-court.jpg
Left, the Southern District of New York federal court at 500 Pearl St.,
is where the federal judges are literally divided into commando units
to advance the corrupt Judeo Masonic agenda.

Insider Frederick Rotir describes how each group operates.







by Frederick Rotir
(henrymakow.com)


The Southern District of New York federal courthouse located in lower Manhattan New York City is literally the "Luciferian Eye" of the "Empire State," i.e. New York State, and is literally the most pre-eminent federal courthouse in the country, and possibly the world, so a great deal of Zionist Cabalist "social engineering legal experimentation" takes place there.

judge190.jpg
(Left, Chief Justice Robert Katzmann presides over this Jewish Mafia clubhouse. Anyone recognize the hand sign?)

These federal judges like to see "what can they get away with," so as to then impose it on the rest of the United States, who unwittingly must follow their lead in the 2nd Circuit Court of the USA (of which the SDNY is the main courthouse.)

It is light years ahead of the rest of the federal courts in America in terms of money, power, media, racial/cultural diversity.
In addition, this jurisdiction contains the main Federal Reserve Bank with all of the entire world's gold bunkers located a few blocks away at 33 Liberty Street, New York NY, underground about five stories down (the site of another terrorist bombing a few years ago.)

ASSIGNMENT: CORRUPT IN ORDER TO CONTROL

Under the aegis and supervision of Chief Judge Robert Katzmann, and preceded by equally culpable Cabalist Dennis Jacobs, the federal judges of the Southern District are grouped into the following sub-groups, each with the following responsibilities:

andrew-l-carter-ceglia-persecutor.jpg
The Black Judge Group - various federal judges such as Gregory Woods, George Daniels, Vernon Broderick, and Andrew Carter, left, were literally selected to thwart, sabotage, and obtain early dismissals for civil rights violations in New York City.

Their other job is to cover up the crimes of terrorist states like Saudi Arabia and Israel, while nailing to the wall otherwise innocent enemies of Israel, such as Iran.

The predominant litigants appearing in their court are racial, religious and ethnic minorities with bona fide grievances against various corrupt governmental members of New York City, such as victims of bad cops, corrupt government officials and lower court judges, out of control child protective services workers, unscrupulous bureaucrats, and others sucking the tit of the New York City taxpayer to earn their living.

The cases and controversies brought before the Southern District invariably get assigned to any one of the above named "black judges," whose job, through various legal and corrupt mechanisms, is to kill and hide these types of civil rights cases. Because who would ever suspect a "black judge" of not giving a damn about civil rights? It's the best cover, ever.

But these black judges have long ago sold their souls for the almighty dollar, career advancement, lust for power and prestige, and loyalty to their Zionist Freemason Luciferian Cabalist masters. With the vast majority of them having been appointed by fellow supreme Uncle Tom and Freemason President Barack Obama, there is no question that their high crimes and misdemeanors, and treason to the taxpayer citizens is protected from up on high by the veritable Prince of Darkness.

JudgeScheindlin.jpg
The Feminazi Group - led by arch-Zio-Feminist Judge Shira Scheindlin, left, who recently retired from the bench, was literally appointed by the Luciferian Zionist Deep State as another "protected class" prostitute to torture those before her who are litigating over the Feminazi Mafia police state currently in place and driven by such satanic organizations as organ-stealing Planned Parenthood, the National Organization of Women, and other banker- funded feminist groups whose only role is to neuter the American male, destroy the American family, and force American children into dependence on the State, drug addiction, abuse, child prostitution, trafficking, and pornography. The gaggle of female Zionist witch federal judges led by supreme coven sorceress Shira Scheindlin is absolutely unparalleled in the United States, and their job is to keep the Feminazi Mafia working overtime to destroy the cornerstone of America, the family.

The White Jewish Banker Male Group - led by scumbags of humanity like Judge Alvin Hellerstein (below left), this group is primarily responsible for whitewashing and sanctioning the wholesale robbery and theft of trillions of dollars by corrupted hedge fund managers like Stephen Cohen of SAC Capital, Paul Singer of Elliot Capital, and Larry Silverstein who they allowed to hoodwink his insurance company into paying him $7 billion dollars for TWO "terrorist attacks" of 911 on his precious World Trade Center insurance policy, the building he "purchased" only a few weeks before these "attacks." In the latter case, Judge Alvin Hellerstein was culpable in insurance fraud.

hellerstein.jpg
(Left, Judge Alvin Hellerstein, who even looks like Mafia, "handled" all 9-11 litigation)

Under the color of law and authority, this federal judge sub-group has literally given meaning to the phrase, "you can steal more money with a briefcase and a pen, than with a gun."

Most of the white or Jewish male judges in this massive finance whitewashing federal judge group went to white/jewish male privileged prep schools and the Ivy League schools. On graduation, they were grandfathered into the most exclusive and prestigious "white shoe law firms," wherein their clients were the big banks, big corporations, military industrial complex, and other pivotal and central components of the proverbial deep state Zionist Cabalistic Freemasonic elite.

They completely understand their role in furthering and continuing the massive financial crimes originating within the great big international monetary playground of New York City. These judges are there to help other Freemasonic Zionist Luciferians steal other people's money, in a BIG

That the great Satan is behind all the problems in the world today is apparent to all. I know you would go along with the tainted narrative of economic mismangement but here's an article that put western media to shame about whats going on in that Country!


The Other Explanation for Venezuela’s Economic Crisis
March 24, 2016 COHA 22 Comments Chavez, chavismo, Maduro, Peter Bolton

By Peter Bolton, Research Fellow at the Council on Hemispheric Affairs

To download a PDF version of this article, click here.

Reports in the English-language press last week highlighted a series of small-scale street protests in Venezuela that bemoaned the scarcity of certain basic products, chronic shortages of medical supplies, and continued power and water outages throughout the country. According to Reuters, for instance, more than a thousand such protests occurred in January and February and, taken together, “show the depth of public anger” and “could become a catalyst for wider unrest.”[1] News accounts proclaiming Venezuela’s state of emergency are not new but in recent weeks have reached hysterical levels, with the Boston-based Global Post claiming that Venezuela’s economic situation is now “worse than 1960s Cuba.”[2]

The mainstream narrative explanation is that the crisis is the result of economic mismanagement and the ideological rigidity of the country’s “authoritarian” Chavista led-government. For instance, Andreas E. Feldmann, Federico Merke, and Oliver Stuenkel, writing for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, wrote last November that “Venezuela’s steep recession has been worsened by economic mismanagement leading to mounting inflation, a widening fiscal deficit, and growing shortages of essential goods including food, soap, and diapers.”[3] Similarly, Arlecchino Gomez at The Daily Signal, wrote, also last November, that Venezuela’s recession “was largely due to government incompetence and mismanagement.”[4]

The Workings of the “Free” Market

These sentiments are strongly predicated on the standard line of economic thought prevailing in the Western media and political class: that stringent price and currency controls are distorting the mechanisms of the “free” market and have led to stagnant production, soaring inflation and a burgeoning black market in U.S. dollars and consumer goods. The explicit or strongly implied conclusion is that the crisis proves beyond doubt that socialism “doesn’t work” and that the solution to Venezuela’s ills is a return with gusto to Chicago School economic policy and hence a restoration of the unimpeded mechanisms of the market. Making this point in Forbes magazine, Tim Walstall goes so far as to compare the situation in Venezuela with the collapse of the Soviet Union; he argues that the solution “is to do as Russia did at the end of their socialist nightmare… [and implement] an immediate move to full blown free marketry [sic].”[5] To achieve this, “regime change” is presented as an imperative prerequisite and the only viable way for things to improve. Michael Shifter, writing in Foreign Affairs, says that even though many on the Latin American left initially found Chavismo an “appealing alternative to market-based approaches,” these days “few dispute that it has failed.”[6]

The Alternative Thesis

Within Venezuela itself, however, this analysis is just one of two competing narratives, both of which are discussed and taken seriously in discussions of policy, governance, and economic dynamics. The economic mismanagement thesis is the natural position taken by the Venezuelan opposition and its allies. But the fact that it is practically the only narrative reported in the English-language press misrepresents the intricacies of Venezuela’s economic problems while revealing how Western media heavily favor the opposition’s analysis, often by its own admission. (Rory Carroll of The Guardian, for instance, boasted that he moved almost exclusively in opposition elite circles while based in Caracas as the paper’s Latin America editor.)

But there is another narrative, favored by the government and the pro-Chavista social movements and civil society sectors, which, it is important to stress, are independent of the government. This perspective can loosely be called the economic war thesis. It explains the crisis in terms of the economic and social dynamics at play outside policy and governmental action. It holds that business sectors friendly to the opposition are waging an aggressive and protracted campaign of economic sabotage to deliberately stir up social unrest to destabilize and discredit the governing Chavista bloc and in the ensuing chaos bring about an end to the PSUV government and the installation of a new one made up of opposition parties. The central pillars of the economic war thesis are that these hostile sectors have been engaging in acts such as hoarding and price speculation and have purposely generated scarcity in pursuit of calculated chaos.

Naturally, all of the allegations that make up this narrative are dismissed out of hand by the opposition, which argues that they amount to a desperate propaganda stunt to shift blame from the government’s own incompetence onto its political opponents. President Nicolás Maduro’s use of the term “bourgeois parasites” in particular has been seized on by opposition commentators to portray him as a hopeless buffoon desperately holding onto to power and flailingly seeking to prop up a failed political project. Friendly commentators in the Western press are equally disparaging, with the aforementioned Michael Shifter, for instance, claiming that these accusations “have no merit,” but do serve to “show that any semblance of cooperation between the executive and the assembly to alleviate the country’s economic collapse is, at least for now, far-fetched.”[7] Similarly, Jeffrey Taylor writes in Foreign Policy, “Maduro’s response [to shortages and currency crises] has been to blame everything on scheming “Yanquis,” Venezuela’s “far-right elite,” the “parasitic bourgeois,” and, of course, the opposition, “even though he has effectively neutralized its leadership.”[8]

But though more scholarly research is necessary for a detailed and considered analysis of the myriad factors contributing to Venezuela’s economic situation, it is worth giving the claims of Chavismo a fair hearing. A fuller picture shows that this alternate thesis should not be so glibly dismissed.

Take hoarding, for instance. Before Hugo Chávez was elected president in 1998, the economic levers of society were near-exclusively in the hands of a social elite of overwhelmingly light-skinned Venezuelans: the inhabitants of the wealthy neighborhoods of Venezuela’s urban centers and wealthy landowners of the campo. Not only were they in charge of importation, distribution and wholesaling of all manner of goods for the Venezuelan markets, but they also had a stranglehold over the state apparatus needed to profiteer from effective importation in the first place. A central goal of Chavismo was to wrest control of the economic levers from this elite and more evenly disperse it throughout society. The Chávez and Maduro administrations have sought to democratize economic decision-making and predicate it on serving the public interest rather than the pursuit of private profit.

Confronting Entrenched Privilege

Political psychology provides important insights into the socio-economic dynamics of Venezuelan society. In his book, Angry White Men, sociologist Michael Kimmel argues that much of white men’s rage in the United States is the result of privileges that were historically bestowed on them gradually becoming less automatic. As historically disadvantaged sectors gain more opportunities and influence, the change appears to the previously favored group as a great injustice.[9] The same dynamic is evident in Venezuela: an unaccountable elite of overwhelmingly white, Euro-descent Venezuelans hold positions of influence and has had control of many of the important economic decisions. In great part the Chavista movement was based on giving voice to the country’s poor majority, which incidentally is overwhelmingly black, brown, indigenous, and/or mixed race. Hugo Chávez was himself of mixed-race heritage, with European, native Venezuelan, and African ancestry. The mere idea that such a person (or mono, meaning monkey, as the opposition frequently called him) could be president and give voice to the dark-skinned chusma was seen as a veritable insult to the Venezuelan elite.

The Chávez and Maduro governments have attempted to transition Venezuela away from a society that has been not only inherently racist and classist, but also highly rigid, stratified and oligarchic. Problems inevitably arise because this elite already holds the reins and can aggressively resist a recalibration of economic and social power. In 1998, the highly corrupt business class controlled almost every economic structure imaginable from distribution of food and production of oil to systems for obtaining dollars and importing consumer goods. As James Petras and Henry Veitmeyer argue in their 2013 book What’s Left in Latin America? Regime Change in New Times, “The government’s socialist project depends on mass social organizations capable of advancing on the economic elite and cleaning the neighborhoods of rightwing thugs, gangsters and paramilitary agents of the Venezuelan oligarchs and [Colombia’s] Uribe regime.”[10] Since these are the people who were already in positions of economic power and influence when the Bolivarian process began, their ability to throw a wrench in the government’s efforts for reform has been formidable. Ryan Mallet-Outtrim, writing in Venezuela Analysis, points out that “Venezuela’s private sector has long attacked the socialist government.” So much so, he adds, “that for years Venezuelans have acknowledged that scarcity of basic consumer goods spikes around important elections, as businesses seek to pressure voters into turning against Chavismo.”[11]

Evidence of such efforts by pro-opposition sectors has not been lacking. Immediately following the opposition victory in the 2015 National Assembly elections, for instance, social media commentators indicated that staple goods miraculously began to reappear on shelves throughout the country.[12] Tellingly, some of the products had expiration dates that suggested that the problem was not with production but rather with distribution, which is largely controlled by the right-wing business elite. By creating this kind of scarcity, the elite were essentially trying to starve the public into rejecting the revolution, a tactic influenced by the United States’ economic blockade against Cuba.

When these dynamics are taken in the wider context of Venezuelan politics over the last two decades, they begin to seem less and less ridiculous and more and more plausible. Throughout the period of Chavismo there have been times when these aggressive tactics of economic sabotage have been too obvious to allow for the opposition’s usual equivocation. During the so-called oil strike, for example, opposition forces led by Venezuela’s largest business association, Fedecamaras, orchestrated a nationwide disruption of oil production in hopes that the ensuing economic chaos would destabilize the government and precipitate a coup.[13] Taken in the context of this history of instigated pandemonium, the economic war thesis emerges as at least equally worthy of consideration as its major competitor.

Internal and External Challenges to the Revolution

None of this is to say, of course, that there are no legitimate criticisms of the central government, far less that the opposition’s explanation for the economic crisis should be dismissed as casually as it dismisses the government’s. Yet there are mitigating factors that must be raised in the government’s defense. The Bolivarian process has attempted not just to pay the social debt that was owed the country’s poor majority, but also to radically transform society by offering an alterative development model to the neoliberal consensus of the 1980s and 1990s that plunged the entire region into disarray. The Chávez and Maduro administrations have attempted this task while facing constant hostility not only from an aggressive internal political opposition that has often resorted to violence, but also from the hemisphere’s hegemon, the United States. Washington, which almost instinctively has been opposed to Chavismo from day one, has consistently interfered in Venezuela’s internal affairs in the hope of crushing the Bolivarian process. From a Bush administration-backed[14] and CIA-aided[15] coup in 2002, in which then-President Chavez was nearly removed from power by force, to refusals to recognize Chavista electoral victories, threats of sanctions, and covert funding for opposition candidates, the United States had been determined to do everything possible to ensure that it would fail. The United States has viciously opposed anything that threatens the dominance of the unfettered neoliberal capitalist vision that it has sought to defend, and then spread, throughout the world. As William Camacaro and COHA Senior Research Fellow Fred Mills wrote early last year in Counterpunch, “A great deal hangs in the balance with regard to the feasibility of advancing a democratic socialist project while under the continuous attack of a U.S.-backed opposition, elements of which are bent on restoring the neoliberal regime.”[16]

The U.S. mainstream media, overwhelmingly owned by large corporations and loyal to their interests, naturally reflects and promulgates the ideological contours of this worldview. Herein lies the explanation for why the debate has been so narrow, so inordinately skewed toward the opposition’s account of the situation, and so disregarding of the complexities and subtleties of the discourse regarding the admittedly tragic and desperate circumstances in which the Venezuelan people find themselves.

Hard to comprehend?. I never mentioned s300.

This is from 2010. National S-200 Coverage

The primary means of air defense in Iran, insofar as SAM systems are concerned, is the deployment of 7 S-200 firing batteries throughout the nation. The four northernmost sites are positioned to defend the northern border and the region surrounding the capital of Tehran. A fifth site is situated to defend facilities in and around Esfahan in central Iran, including the Natanz nuclear facility.


You said Iran's nuclear facility is for peacful means so why are sam batteries near it? And why are they built deeply underground? Only an uninformed person thinks Iran doesn't want a weapon. I suggest you actually read the Iran deal. It only delayed the inevitable.
It is a free world, so you are free to believe whatever you like, but just remember that there is is a great awakening taking place all over the world and the lies of the empire of chaos are being laid bare for all to see. Iran is more trustworthy than that Great Satan with a lying, forked tongue. Iran has never attacked any country before and the Great satan has destroyed the middle east on behalf of the Jew wannabe ishitreal. Only a blind and uninformed fellow will see the truth and fail to acknowlege it. We are still waiting for Saddam's WMD years after they killed over a million people and bombed Iraq back to stone age. Libya,AfghanistantYemen and Syria nko? I will leave you with this quote from Hugo Chavez about your Warmongering, Hero, George Bush!

"The devil came here yesterday, and it smells of sulfur still today, this table that I am now standing in front of." At that point, Chávez made the sign of the cross, positioned his hands as if praying, and looked briefly upwards as if invocation of God. He continued "Yesterday, ladies and gentlemen, from this rostrum, the President of the United States, the gentleman to whom I refer as the devil, came here, talking as if he owned the world."

Well it is nice to know that you admitted that what you said made no sense. Only an uninformed person will think that Iran has no weapons program. If it was for peacful means, why did they deploy SAMs to their nuclear sites?

What do you mean the IRGC have always found favour? What the heck are you talking about? The hardliners in Iran want to keep the status quo since sanctions have been good for business and opening up Iran will bring in competetion. Iran wouldn't even dare close the strait. Do you think America is the only country that import oil? You should go read what China had to say the last time Iran made that threat.

You have no clue of what you are talking about.
You are still not making sense with the assertions you made up there!
I just realised that you've been swimming in the "sewer of western media" lies and need to raise your head up before you drown!
I knew you'd run away with the SAM deployment at Fordow but here's Janes disputing the claims
Satellite imagery obtained by IHS Jane's shows Iran has not deployed an S-300 long-range air defence system to the Fordow uranium enrichment facility as claimed.

Iranian media reported on 28 August that one of the S-300 systems that Russia began delivering earlier this year had been deployed to Fordow, which was constructed inside a mountain to protect it against aerial attack.

The claim was seemingly supported by footage showing a transporter-erector launcher (TEL) and 64N6 battle management radar from the system. While a 64N6 was shown in a disassembled state during the Army Day parade in April, this is the first time an Iranian S-300 TEL has been seen.

Some of the footage could be geolocated to the Fordow area, but the shots showing the S-300 components could not.

Satellite imagery of what is believed to be an air defence training base in Tehran's eastern outskirts on 20 and 26 August showed two S-300 batteries, each with four TELs and a 30N6 engagement radar. They were supported by a single 64N6.

All the TELs were deployed in battery formations on 20 August, but by 26 August one had been moved close to the 64N6 so that the two components were aligned in the same way as those seen in the Iranian television footage. A water tower seen behind the S-300 components in the footage also matched one just to the east of the air defence base in Tehran.

It is still unclear whether the Iranian systems are the S-300PMU1 or the almost identical S-300PMU2 with longer-range 48N6E2 missiles.

When asked in March by the Wall Street Journal whether Iran was getting the S-300PMU1, Sergei Chemezov, the CEO of Russia's Rostec state corporation, said, "Yes, they gave the conditions, and said they need only an S-300PMU1."

Chemezov appeared to contradict himself in June.

You should thank me for the education grin grin grin


Lastly, Iran has the strait under fire control and can close at will and nobody will do nada! Even the Zionist controlled entity you support can't do anything about it!
Foreign AffairsRe: Has Israel Effectively Colonized The United States? by seagulsntrawler(op): 11:36pm On Sep 20, 2016

Sorry but your explanation doesnt make much sense. The deal wasnt made because the US doesnt wsnt an all out war and the IRGC/Supreme leader did not oppose the deal because of a fatwa. The sanctions have been good for the revolutionary guards and the hardliners and opening up Iran will threatening their interest.

And Yes. Iran have a weapons program. If you look at the agreement, it only extended Iran's breakout time
The reasons you gave above doesn't make much sense either because:
Israel had always wanted to attack Iran for some yrs now but can't do that alone cos of the presence of Hezzbollah in Lebanon and the fierce response it will draw from the Islamic republic as I stated earlier.
Secondly, Iran can easily block the strait of Hormuz which takes a large percentage of daily crude leaving the middle east in the event of a war.
The fatwa against WMD was issued by Khomenie and he didn't attack Iraq with chemical weapons even when they had the capability to do that.
The supreme leader had ambiguous feelings about the deal and voiced concerns about the treachery of the Great Satan!
The IRGC has always been favoured since the revolution and is not unusual for them to find favor in every situation!
Lastly, Iran's nuclear weapon is for peaceful use and there's been no evidence that it plans to weaponise it.
Foreign AffairsRe: Has Israel Effectively Colonized The United States? by seagulsntrawler(op): 7:12pm On Sep 20, 2016
When you put everything that happened with the Iran deal into perspective, the chosen Zionist scoundrels still pressed for more defence pact money from their vassal state, culminating into the recent aid package given to them. They know very well that Iran has never invaded any country and is no threat to anyone. Her military doctrine is defensive in nature, never aggressive in anyway! So Israhell got the best out of the whole saga. For US to still slammed sanctions on Iran shortly after the deal was signed,is enough proof for you to know the whole deal was a sham sponsored by the US. "Indeed the Great Satan cannot be trusted"!
Foreign AffairsRe: Has Israel Effectively Colonized The United States? by seagulsntrawler(op): 5:57pm On Sep 20, 2016
Missy89:
So why did the US agree to deal with Iran. The very deal Israel did not want?
You need to understand that the deal was brokered by five other powerful nations and not just the US alone. The US and Israel know fully well that Iran has no program to build a nuclear weapon. There's the fact that President Rouhani and his moderate leaning govt wanted a deal that would end yrs of sanctions. The Supreme leader was against the deal because there's already a fatwa against the use of WMDs and he believed the US. Govt can't be trusted. He's been proven right because no banks want to do business with Iran today.
Lastly, Israel can't single handedly attack Iran without the help of her vassal state the US because Iran has the most formidable air defence system in the middle east. With Hezzbollah training over 80k missiles on the Jew-wannabe, Ashkenazi run Israel making such attacks virtually impossible. The US doesn't want an all out war in the ME cos it will distract from the illegal regime change project in Syria too! Israel's opposition is partly borne out of insecurity and more because Iran will be a major player ahead of the child molesting wahabeast Saudi Arabia. Hope I've answered your questions.

Whose interest is the IS fighting for actually? The same terrorists who after receiving their Dollar bills and ammo from the UShit still threw viles at them and subsequently chased out US commandos in Syrian territory? Why did the US not inform the Russian command of its intention to carryout air strikes against supposed terrorist positions? It took the intervention of the Russians to put a stop to the bombing, in what was described by a top Russian General ‘as an act of negligence and lack of will from the Amerikans to coordinate strikes with Russia'.

Corruption and free looting! He couldn't even complete East-West road befall leaving. Not even the one leading to his own village at Otuoke, not to mention building a single refinery, inter alia.

And this is the same kind of people you're hoping will lead you to the promise land when Biafra comes, huh? sad

Has Israel Effectively Colonized the United States?
By wmw_adminonSeptember 10, 2016
Badruddin Khan — CounterPunch Sept 7, 2016
We normally think of colonizers as large countries, and the colonized as smaller and weaker nations. But this is not always the case. Colonization does not require occupation. It merely requires the subjugation of the colonized. With ambition, superior information and calculation, and the right mindset, smaller nations can (and have in the past) colonized and dominated larger and nominally more powerful countries.
India was successfully colonized by tiny Britain in the 18th century. The vehicle for colonization was the East India Company. It was only after the Indian mutiny that Britain acted directly and sent in troops to establish the British Raj. For the next 200 years India was drained of its wealth, its economy was restructured to support England’s needs and global ambitions, and its people militarized to fight and die on behalf of the British crown. The Indian leaders who remained were willing participants in this venture; those who felt otherwise were destroyed or marginalized.
In a similar vein, Israel today is in the process of colonizing the United States, which is vital to its global projection and exercise of power. The steps Israel is taking are visible to all (as was the case with British designs on India) and yet it is remarkably difficult to connect the dots while such a takeover is in process. Or, to do anything about it.
Colonization does not mean total control of everything
It means total control of what matters. The British were interested in Indian wealth, and a standing army of Indians willing to die for their wars. They couldn’t care less about India’s internal petty politics that did not directly or indirectly impact their mission. An effective “divide and conquer” strategy pit Indians against each other and discouraged any kind of coordinated response, or sedition. The British leveraged their “outsider advantage” to objectively collect data with which to calculate and coordinate which Indian princes to support in battles, and which to connive with. Like pieces on a chessboard, Indian leaders exhausted themselves through internal battles, and were prevailed to seek cover provided by the British. Small amounts of leverage can change outcomes (as the Israeli lobby AIPAC has shown, in its path to dominating Congress and regional/local US politics), and over the years the British were able control and align India to the British crown. Less than 10,000 English controlled colonial India, which at that time had a population of 300 million.
It is instructive to note that while there were relatively few white Englishmen, a class of local “brown sahibs” was developed, to actually run things. This elite class was educated in English ways, and rewarded monetarily and through social stature. Britain was too small a country to ultimately matter by itself, but by leveraging India the English could pursue their global ambitions. India was the “Jewel in the (British) Crown”.
Today, Israel has effective control of US policy in the Mideast, and similar goals. Much has already been written about Israel’s control of Congress. Israel is now edging towards control over the US Executive Branch, with both presidential candidates supported by billionaires whose #1 agenda is Israel (Saban and Adelson). The Supreme Court will be one-third Jewish, and justices have community ties and families. As Israel demonstrated through its successful intimidation of Judge Goldstone, jurists are human and everyone has their price.
Israel’s “occupation force” in the US has long included AIPAC as well as the dense network of community organizations at the State and local levels. Through relationships that have been developed over years and with unlimited funds at their disposal, the “Israel Lobby” ensures that votes go the right way, and that opponents are squashed when Israel demands unity. In 2003 at the onset of George Bush’s Iraq war this occupation force was multiplied through the inclusion of Christian Zionists.
Critics of the Israel Lobby are marginalized by whatever means available, including being called anti-Semitic. The Lobby has been effective in securing massive aid packages for Israel even though Israel’s per-capita GDP exceeds that of several European nations. Israeli insiders permeate the US government, and it is US policy that there be “no light” between the countries so that where Israel is concerned there is no debate. Israel’s top priorities are the top priorities of the US. There are of course instances where this does not happen (such as, Iran) but the direction points to a tighter colonial noose in the years ahead.
The media matters: establishing beliefs and narratives
The colonizer must be a “Sacred Object” above criticism or objective review, and dangerous critics must be either destroyed or marginalized. No Englishman in India spoke of the mother country and its ways with anything other than reverence, even though during periods of the British Raj England was in turmoil. Within England there was a free press and active debate; but this was not permitted in India, about Britain. The only acceptable posture was that of reverence.
Today Israel has a free press, and it is easy to read translations of the Hebrew language press. Israeli commentators compare Netanyahu to Hitler, Israel is called a racist apartheid state based on evidence, and the extreme violence against and ongoing abuse of Palestinians is well documented. But, these same conversations are forbidden in the US. No newspaper would report them, nor are they permitted in polite company. Transgressors are labeled anti-Semitic, whether Jewish or not.
In the US today, boycotts are seen as a permitted non-violent form of free speech. Citizens have the right to boycott whatever they want from wherever they want without risk of penalty. The sole exception is Israel.
Exceptionalism
The British conquests were “for God and country”, and therefore justified. The British were superior, the natives inferior. This setup the moral justification for the mayhem wrought by the British as they colonized Asia and the Mideast. At that time, all men were not born equal, and it took the US Constitution to establish that self-evident fact.
Israel is seeking to revert to those days, by acting as though Arab lives are inferior, and (more recently) promoting Islamophobia to serve their Christian Zionism wing. In 2003, uber Zionist Bernard Lewis posed as “Arab expert” and advised president Bush that the only language Arabs understood was force. This helped to justify the attack on Iraq, as part of a neocon plan to “creatively destroy” the sovereign Arab states in Israel’s neighborhood, to facilitate Israel’s dominance. The Nazis at Nuremberg were shown greater respect than Saddam and his Ba’at leadership, and the contempt for Arabs was in full display.
Today, Israeli Jews are in the process of destroying Palestinian society and erasing Palestinian culture, with impunity. Churches and mosques are both being destroyed, though Israel would prefer to keep the spotlight on mosques, to fan a religious war between Islam on one side, and Christians and Jews on the other.
While the Israeli press records and debates Israel’s bad behavior, Americans are forbidden to publicly debate Israeli behavior critically.
Three Recent Examples:
1/ During the Congressional debate around the Iran deal president Obama had negotiated, Senator Chuck Schumer said he would vote “against”…not because of any independent analysis, but because this is what Netanyahu wanted. In other words, he publically said that he would follow the Israeli prime ministers’ direction, over that of his own president. Because, as he said, he was “guardian of Israel”.
A sitting US senator proclaimed allegiance to a foreign country, and nobody asked him to resign!
2/ The Israeli Prime Minister addresses the full US Congress to lobby against the Iran nuclear deal. When the deal does go through, Israel demands more US aid! And, is likely to get it. One can try various definitions of “blackmail” to see which one fits.
The US president is impotent in dealing with Israel. The so-called “pro Israel lobby” effectively functions like an agent of Israel. The Israel lobby is playing the role of the East India Company, in Britain’s colonization of India.
3/ The Israel Lobby interferes massively in US foreign policy in the region. The “mainstream” media such as NYT spins events to reflect Israel’s views (bureau chiefs are typically Jewish and resident in Israel). The Iraq war cost $1 trillion+ and cost thousands of US lives, created ISIS, and was pushed by the Lobby. Israel benefits from the distraction.
The colonization of the US by Israel is becoming increasingly explicit. It is now increasingly seen as “normal” to have a double standard: one for Israel, another for the rest of the world. The boycott-Israel movement is an example of that: you can boycott anything or anyone, but not Israel. This is true power, and the face of colonization.

Sana’a, Yemen (5:04 A.M.) – A SCUD missile fired by the Yemeni Republican Guard reportedly struck the Saudi city of Ta’if that is located approximately 700 km deep into the oil-dependent nation.

This military development is of massive significance because it implies that the Saudi capital of Riyadh is within the range of the Yemeni ballistic missiles, and may therefore change the trajectory of the Yemeni conflict further to the side of the Sana’a-based elected government of Yemen.

Al-Masira News Channel and official military sources have yet to confirm news of this rocket attack.
