Israeli Government Ads Warn Against Marrying Non-Jews

The Israeli government has launched a television and internet advertising campaign urging Israelis to inform on Jewish friends and relatives abroad who may be in danger of marrying non-Jews.
The advertisements, employing what the Israeli media described as “scare tactics”, are designed to stop assimilation through intermarriage among young diaspora Jews by encouraging them to move to Israel.

The campaign, which cost US$800,000 (Dh2.9 million), was created in response to reports that half of all Jews outside Israel marry non-Jews. It is just one of several initiatives by the Israeli state and private organisations to try to increase the size of Israel’s Jewish population.
According to one of the advertisements, voiced over by one of the country’s leading news anchors, assimilation is “a strategic national threat” and warns that “more than 50 per cent of Diaspora youth assimilate and are lost to us.”

Spain's top judge appears in court

Baltasar Garzon, Spain's most well-known judge, has appeared before the country's supreme court accused of overstepping his authority in a case involving Spanish civil war atrocities.

The court agreed in May to investigate a complaint from an ultraconservative group that accuses Garzon of knowingly acting without jurisdiction in ordering an inquiry into abuses of civilians by forces loyal to General Francisco Franco, Spain's former leader.

Garzon, who became famous for indicting Augusto Pinochet and Osama bin Laden, made no comment to journalists as he arrived at court on Wednesday in a rare case of a Spanish judge being formally probed in legal proceedings.

A handful of supporters cheered Garzon as he went in a side entrance for a closed-door session.

Among those standing outside the court was Gervasio Puerta, 88, who fought against Franco in the war and ended up spending eight years in jail. He said: "It is an injustice to try a person who wants to defend those of us who suffered under Franco." 
Garzon's 2008 investigation was the first in official inquiry in Spain and was widely seen as seeking an indictment of the Franco government itself.

US Girl Scouts prepare for war, hurricanes, pandemics, terror attacks and other disasters

The United States wants to enlist its 3.4 million Girl Scouts in the effort to combat hurricanes, pandemics, terror attacks and other disasters.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched a campaign Tuesday to entice the blue, brown and green-clad multitudes to be even more prepared, with the promise of a new patch if they pitch in.

The young scouts will be able to emblazon their sashes or vests with the patch if they undergo the training which readies them for an emergency. "This new preparedness patch will increase citizen preparedness and enhance our country's readiness for disasters," said DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano in a statement.

"As a former Girl Scout, I know the 'Be Prepared' motto well, and I look forward to working with the Girl Scouts to spread the preparedness message to all of our nation's citizens."

The move is part of a month-long government effort to make Americans better able to cope with natural and man-made disasters.

Putin: The dark rise to power

Ten years ago this month, Russia was rocked by a series of mysterious apartment bombings that left hundreds dead. It was by riding the ensuing wave of fear and terror that a then largely unknown Vladimir Putin rose to become the most powerful man in the country. But there were questions about the nature of those bombings - and disturbing evidence that the perpetrators might actually have been working for the Russian government.

In the years since then, the people who had been questioning the official version of events began one by one to go silent or even turn up dead.

U.S. Marines In The Caucasus

On August 21 the chief of the U.S. Marine Corps, General James Conway, arrived in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi to begin the training of his host country's military for deployment to the Afghan war theater under the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
"During the meeting the sides discussed a broad spectrum of Georgian-U.S bilateral relations and the situation in Georgia's occupied territory."  Occupied territory(ies) meant Abkhazia and South Ossetia, now independent nations with Russian troops stationed in both.

Conway met with Georgian Defense Minister Davit (Vasil) Sikharulidze, who on the same day gave an interview to the Associated Press in which he said that the training provided by the U.S. Marine Corps could be employed, in addition to counterinsurgency operations in South Asia, in his country's "very difficult security environment."

U.S. Marines and Green Berets have become regular fixtures in the Balkans, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Iraq, Kuwait and the Horn of Africa over the past decade. With the widening of the Afghan war they are soon to take up permanent residence in the capital of Pakistan, in the Caucasus, in the Black Sea region and the Caspian Sea Basin among other locales.

Karzai says United States wants to manipulate him

Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai has accused the United States of denouncing his friends and family in an effort to undermine his own position and make him more malleable.

In a wide-ranging interview with Le Figaro daily, released on Monday, Karzai also condemned a NATO airstrike last week on hijacked fuel tankers, and said he supported a mooted shift in U.S. military tactics in Afghanistan.

Karzai, who is closing in on a first-round victory in last month's presidential election, revealed strained relations with the United States and said U.S. criticism of his running mate, Mohammad Qasim Fahim, was actually aimed at him.

"The Americans attack Karzai in an underhand fashion because they want him to be more tractable. They are wrong. It is in their interest ... that Afghanistan's people respect their president," he said, referring to himself in the third person.

"It is in no-one's interest to have an Afghan president who has become an American puppet," he added.

Poor pay, worse jobs and terrible bonuses too - sexism in the city lives

Women (in the UK) earn around 80% less than men in performance-related pay at some of the UK's leading finance companies, revealing a "shocking disparity", according to an official inquiry by the Equality and Human Rights Commission.

Findings also show more than eight out of 10 women starting new jobs are paid lower average salaries than men.

The "massive gender gap" is one of the highest in the UK economy and entrenched by recruitment patterns, said the commission. It is calling for an overhaul in recruitment practices in the industry which provided 1.3 million jobs in Britain last year.

The disparity is revealed after the inquiry, the first of its kind, questioned 44 top firms which between them employ almost one quarter (22.6%)of finance sector workers. A key factor is believed to be the sector's age profile, where the majority of workers are between 25 and 39, the age at which women have childcare responsibilities.

The commission's inquiry found women earned an average of £2,875 in annual performance pay compared to £14,554 for men.  The Guardian

Missing channel pirate ship carried Russian arms for Iran

A cargo ship that vanished in the Channel was carrying arms to Iran and was being tracked by Mossad, the Israeli security service, according to sources in both Russia and Israel.

The Arctic Sea, officially carrying a cargo of timber worth £1.3m, disappeared en route from Finland to Algeria on July 24. It was recovered off west Africa on August 17 when eight alleged hijackers were arrested. The Kremlin has consistently denied that the vessel was carrying a secret cargo. It claims the ship was hijacked by criminals who demanded a £1m ransom.

The official version was challenged by sources in Tel Aviv and Moscow who claimed the ship had been loaded with S-300 missiles, Russia’s most advanced anti-aircraft weapon, while undergoing repairs in the Russian port of Kaliningrad.

Mossad, which closely monitors arms supplies to Iran, is said to have tipped off the Russian government that the shipment had been sold by former military officers linked to the underworld.

The Kremlin then ordered a naval rescue mission which involved destroyers and submarines. Any evidence that the Kremlin had let advanced weaponry fall into the hands of criminals or be sold to Iran would be highly embarrassing, so military officials believe a “cover story” was concocted.

Take more babies away from bad parents

Many more UK children need to be taken into care at birth to stop them being damaged beyond repair by inadequate parents, the chief executive of the children's charity Barnardo's has told the Observer.

Martin Narey called for less effort to be directed at "fixing families that can't be fixed" and for social workers to be braver about removing children at risk .

After revelations about the neglect and dysfunctional background of two young brothers from Doncaster who viciously attacked an 11-year-old boy and his nine-year-old nephew, social workers have once again come under fire for failing to intervene at an early stage.

Israel furious at claim it harvests Palestinian organs

Government officials and commentators in Israel described the report as anti-Semitic and libellous.

Above an article that quoted claims made by Palestinians, Aftonbladet, Sweden's largest-circulation daily newspaper, carried the headline: "Our sons are plundered for their organs". The article alleged Israeli authorities sanctioned such acts because of a shortage of organs in the country.

Daniel Seaman, who heads Israel's government press office, said the article played on "vile anti-Semitic themes".

Yigal Palmor, a foreign ministry spokesman, said officials had met Sweden's ambassador to Israel and had "protested" about the article. He said a formal complaint would be issued soon.

The Swedish embassy in Tel Aviv also condemned the article, saying that it was "as shocking and appalling to us Swedes as it is to Israeli citizens".  Telegraph

Madonna in Israel but not to the West Bank

She is not embarking on a political career. Benjamin Netanyahu just seems to be the last person she's got round to in a long list of assignments on her trip here.

She has also been to the Western Wall, the holiest place Jews can pray. She has paid respects at the graves of dead Kabbalah rabbis, while receiving scorn from living ones for her immodesty and not-so abstemious lifestyle.

The Queen of Pop has dined with the Queen of Israeli politics, opposition leader Tzipi Livni. And a real Queen laid on a helicopter for her to visit the legendary ruins of Petra over the border in Jordan.

What she has not done is meet Palestinian leaders or bothered to go into the West Bank, apparently.

Yemeni group denies fresh fighting

Houthi fighters in northern Yemen have denied government accusations that they have broken a ceasefire aimed at allowing humanitarian aid into the conflict zone.

Mohammad Abdel-Salam, a spokesman for the Houthi fighters, said on Saturday that the fighting had stopped.

The government is "making up excuses to keep the conflict going", The Associated Press news agency quoted Abdel-Salam as saying.

Earlier, a military spokesman said dozens of people had been killed and wounded in Yemen's Hafr Sufyan and al-Malahid regions of northern Saada province just hours after the ceasefire went into effect. No official confirmation of the toll was available.

Sanaa had announced a unilateral ceasefire in its Scorched Earth offensive against the Houthi fighters on Friday. The move was intended to allow humanitarian aid into a conflict zone that has created thousands of refugees.

Gabon riots follow Bongo poll win

Soldiers have clashed with opposition supporters after Ali Bongo, the son of Gabon's long-time ruler Omar Bongo, was declared the winner of the country's disputed presidential election.

Pierre Mamboundou, a rival of Bongo's, was seriously wounded in the capital, Libreville.

Rioting also broke out in Port Gentil in the central African nation's oil zone, French media reported.

Opposition supporters in Port Gentil, Gabon's second-largest city, set fire to France's consulate general after Bongo's victory was announced, witnesses said.

Prisoners who had been set free or escaped from a local jail were roaming the streets and set fire to a petrol station, a resident told French state radio France Info.

United for Truth is a citizen initiative. A European platform - not an organization - that unites people, various peaceful Non-Governmental and Non-Profit organizations over Europe. The main goal is to give every citizen the possibility to learn about the things they cannot learn about via the various mainstream media, and therefore we organize this third meeting in front of the US embassy (12:00pm) and front of the EU parliament (16:00pm) in Brussels on September 11th, 2009. Something wasn't right about the way the 9/11 attacks occurred and about how those tragic events had been "used" since that moment. We demand a real, criminal and independent investigation. We want the power to be back to the people.

We strongly reject any form of racism, fascism, any form of integrism or extremism and try to be straight forward, we believe we are doing a great job in being Big Brothers worst nightmare: we think (and act) by ourselves! ... What about you?

United for Truth European 9/11 Truth Protest

Was Bubonic Plague Knight's Templar Revenge?

The Knights Templar were a military and religious order that also accumulated great wealth through their banking and lending practices. They were disbanded and brought under the Inquisition in 1307. They transferred their massive gold and silver holdings to Switzerland and turned their fleet of vessels into Pirates that plundered the vessels of Catholic Europe.

Did the disbanded and heavily persecuted Knights spread the Bubonic Plague against their enemies in Europe? They definitely had a strong motive(s).

1. They wanted revenge on the Catholic Church and those monarchs that had caused their downfall.

2. They wanted to create a new Templar Republic on the ashes of the Catholic Monarchies of Europe. "Order out of Chaos"

3. The Plague was definitely brought into Europe by sea from the East (Turkey). Templar Ships were by far the dominant force on the sea, whether as "disguised" merchant vessels or as Pirate Vessels that flew the Templar battle flag (skull and bones) and traveled the East-West Route more than any other organization.

4. The map above shows that the Plague started in Europe in areas once dominated by the Templars, like Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica. The plague on these islands would have effected the Knights Hospitallers (who had taken over the Templar holdings and replaced them in the Catholic Church) at the very heart of their order.

5. The spread of the Plague throughout Europe also destroyed the faith of many that followed Catholicism and opened the door for the Protestant revolution in areas still under the Templar influence (Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain etc.)

6. The plague hit only a few decades after the order was formally destroyed.

It was the Templars and their descendants that gained the most from the spread of the plague and the plague did originate in the heart of the Knights Hospitallers who were sworn enemies of the Templars. The disease also struck a mortal blow to the Catholic Church in many parts of Europe.

The descendants of these same mass murderers still govern our world through Free-masonry and the Illuminati. They control the worlds economy and currencies. They own our military, which pursues their goals, and they still want Plato's Republic established under one world government. Add to that, their desire for one master race at the expense of all others and it seems to me that the "Biological warfare" option is still very much on the table with these global criminals.
