Syria, Hizbullah: Deterrence has never ever worked so far..., since Asef SHAWKAT is the Chief Architect of the assassination of Imad F. MOUGHNIEH


Israel, Hezbollah: Has deterrence worked? YES Undoubtedly, a big YES.
Syria, Hizbullah: Deterrence has never ever worked so far..., since Asef SHAWKAT is the Chief Architect of the assassination of Imad F. MOUGHNIEH in Damascus last year, Feb. 12th 2008....
So, despite the gruesome killings of 27 Hizbullah fighters by Syria's killer Ghazi Kanaan in the 80s/90s and his cruel "jogging" through the same neighborhood the very next day, to thumb Hizbullah's nose... Hizbullah never felt the need to retaliate against Ghazi Kanaan then, and it won't feel the need to do so now in this Geoplotilical
context.... "Geoplotilical" mis-spelled on puspose here....so the west and Israel can take a deep breath and go on with their usual and well known Geoplotical games.
Asef Shawkat went as far as to trigger the various fake missiles fired from South Lebanon at Israel during the Gaza war... in order to try to push the Israelis into retaliating against Hizbullah to tame them some more....
We know excatly what the odious criminal Syrian mafiosi regime is capable of.
If Hizbullah wants to create further deterrence... the address is Damascus Syria for the very big operation to come... targeting the criminal organization of the Siamese twins: The white house murder inc, and its CEO in the Levant Asef Shawkat and Maher ASSAD.

As anniversary of Hezbollah commander Mughniyah's assassination looms, Israel tightens security....LOL ROTFL....

By HK

Hezbollah's leader, seen by video last month in Beirut, says it is 'necessary' to respond to commander Mughniyah's killing.


BEIRUT, Lebanon - When Imad Mughniyah, Hezbollah's top military commander, was assassinated by a car bomb in Damascus one year ago, the militant Shiite group blamed Israel – which denied involvement – and vowed revenge. But a year on, that vow remains unfulfilled, because Hizbullah know well that Asef Shawkat is the Assassin in Chief and the Architect in chief of Imad Moughniah's assassination...which was "sold" through the White House Murder INC, for plenty of good will at the upcoming tribunal ....

While Israel is taking no chances and has tightened security ahead of the Mughniyah anniversary, Israeli officials repeatedly have claimed that threats of massive retaliation to a Hezbollah revenge attack have deterred the Shiite group.

"On the one hand, Hezbollah is driven by its desire to carry out an attack as revenge for the death of Mughniyah ... but they do not want to start a war," Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin, Israel's military intelligence chief, told the Israeli cabinet in a briefing two weeks ago.

Deterrence and counterdeterrence have shaped the Israeli-Arab conflict for decades. Israel relies on the threat of overwhelming military force to cow its Arab enemies. While its military superiority in the past has dealt crushing blows to Arab conventional armies, Israel has struggled to find a means of deterring a new generation of enemies, the smaller sub-state guerrilla movements exemplified by Hezbollah and Hamas.

"These guys are not intimidated by the Israelis," says Timur Goksel, former senior official with the UN peacekeeping force in south Lebanon. "They are ideologically driven and don't have the same responsibilities as a state."

That is why many analysts in Lebanon believe that Hezbollah will respond to Mr. Mughniyah's assassination with a calculated strategic blow to deter further assassinations and restore a balance of deterrence between the two foes.

"The retaliation is a strategic necessity for Hezbollah. In fact, it would be suicidal if Hezbollah did not respond," says Amal Saad-Ghorayeb, a Lebanese specialist on the group.

Analysts say Hezbollah's targeting and timing of a retaliation is more dependent on its multiple, sometimes conflicting, obligations toward its Lebanese Shiite constituents, domestic political allies, ideological interests, and backers in Syria and Iran. Few doubt that a reprisal will come.

"It is necessary to respond to the killing of martyr leader ... Mughniyah to punish the killers," said Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's leader, in a press conference two weeks ago.

Israel's deterrent capability has suffered several blows in recent years. Hezbollah's bombs and bullets drove the Israeli army out of south Lebanon in 2000. Six years later, Israel failed to defeat Hezbollah's battle-hardened guerrillas in a month-long war. The recent three-week onslaught against Hamas in Gaza was, in part, an attempt to show it had learned the lessons of the 2006 war. But with rockets still being fired into Israel nearly a month after the cease-fire, many military analysts question whether the offensive succeeded in restoring Israel's deterrence.

A report released this month by the Center for Strategic and International Studies concluded that while the Israeli army performed more effectively in Gaza than in Lebanon, its tactical gains against Hamas were short-term and no clear strategic benefit was achieved.

"Israel does not seem to have been properly prepared for the political dimensions of the war, or to have had any clear plan and cohesive leadership for achieving conflict termination," wrote military analyst Anthony Cordesman. "Moreover, it seems to have approached the fighting, and the Arab world, from a strategic perspective that will increase instability in the region and ultimately weaken Israel's security."

Hezbollah long ago recognized the value of deterrence. A month after Israel killed Hezbollah leader Sheikh Abbas Mussawi in February 1992, a suicide bomber blew up the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires, killing 29 people. While Hezbollah denied responsibility, Israel refrained from assassinating top Hezbollah figures for the next 16 years.

During Israel's occupation of south Lebanon in the 1990s, Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel whenever Israeli forces caused Lebanese civilian casualties. The tit-for-tat tactic helped impose restrictions on the Israeli army's freedom of action in south Lebanon.

After Israel withdrew from Lebanon in 2000, Hezbollah staged periodic attacks against an Israeli-occupied sliver of mountainside called the Shebaa Farms. The attacks were calibrated to needle Israel without eliciting heavy reprisals that could backfire on the party's domestic standing. Similarly, Israel for six years adopted a policy of restraint, recognizing that a disproportionate response would draw rocket salvos on northern Israel.

That "balance of terror" was upset in July 2006 when Hezbollah fighters abducted two Israeli soldiers and Israel responded with war.

Since 2006, Hezbollah and Israel have tried to establish new means of deterrence. Israel has warned that it will flatten Hezbollah-supporting areas of Lebanon in the event of another war. And it remains the chief suspect in Mughniyah's killing, suggesting it has abandoned its moratorium on targeting senior Hezbollah officials.

Though Hezbollah has frozen its attacks on the Shebaa Farms, it has mounted a rearmament, recruitment, and training drive and drawn up fresh battle plans. Israeli intelligence says Hezbollah has amassed three times the number of rockets it had at the start of the 2006 war.

"The Zionists will discover that the war they had in July [2006] was a walk in the park if we compare it to what we've prepared for every new aggression," Sheikh Nasrallah warned in January.

The US Government is utterly corrupt and deceitful beyond redemption...in politics, policy, economy, monetary, finance, Intelligence and CI practices.









"The US Government is utterly corrupt and deceitful beyond redemption...in politics, policy, economy, monetary, finance, Intelligence and CI practices and much much more to name here!"

If John O'Neill's case has been so callously treated by the US Government...imagine the real intentions towards the KILLERS of SYRIA, Asef SHAWKAT , Maher ASSAD, and Jamil Al-Sayyed who work directly for the White House Murder INC, the kind treatment which will be afforded to them...by CIA2/MOSSAD/MI6,DGSE , FDDC, NID etc. to cover the tracks of the real assassins who shower the US with such "delicatessen" by doing their dirty work for them covertly for decades...

John O'Neill and another FBI agent who still works for the bureau discovered that Emanuel was heavily involved in the decision to place Lewinsky close to Clinton. O'Neill retired after being set up in a smear operation involving a temporarily stolen briefcase in 2001, accepted the top security position for Kroll Associates at the WTC, and was killed in the 9/11 attack. Clinton reportedly had knowledge of Israeli intelligence penetration of White House communications systems, and Lewinsky, in sworn testimony before the Office of Independent Counsel, stated:

He suspected that a foreign embassy was tapping his telephones, and he proposed cover stories. If ever questioned, she should say that the two of them were just friends. If anyone ever asked about their phone sex, she should say that they knew their calls were being monitored all along, and the phone sex was just a put-on.

It is now known that the 'foreign embassy' was that of Israel. We have learned from US intelligence sources that Emanuel was discovered to be part of a political intelligence and blackmail operation directed against Clinton by Israel. We have also learned that the FBI investigation of Emanuel is part of a file code-named Mega, a reference to a top-level Mossad agent in the Reagan administration, who was said to have run a number of Israeli agents, including US Navy spy Jonathan Pollard...

Rahm Emanuel: Ardent Zionist called Obama’s ‘Svengali’

americanfreepress.net

More sinister than Karl Rove and potentially deadlier than Dick “Darth Vader” Cheney, his name is Rahm Emanuel, and he was recently appointed chief of staff in the president-elect’s White House. This first official act should send waves of alarm through people because Barack Obama promised change, but what we’re getting is the exact same cabal that brought us 9-11 and endless war in the Middle East.

Initial media reports described Emanuel as a vulgar, Chicago-based enforcer who had an aggressive, in-your- face, pit-bull style. Others painted him as a partisan Washington insider with strong ties to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).Although these labels seem harsh, the reality is far worse.

Rahm Emanuel, nicknamed “Rahmbo,” is a pro- Israel Orthodox Jew who was educated in a Talmudic yeshiva and served as a volunteer in the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). He is a dual citizen of Israel, which his office refused to deny when AFP inquired. Israel is the only nation where Americans can apply for and obtain citizenship without automatically renouncing U.S. citizenship.

Some Americans are unilaterally proclaimed citizens of other countries, as when an American GI marries a French girl and becomes an automatic citizen of France. But if the GI applied for and obtained French citizenship, he would lose his American citizenship. It is impossible to be a 100 percent loyal American and have an ounce of loyalty to another country; there is no #101 percent and the interests of Israel and the United States are not always synonymous.

Those familiar with the 9-11 terrorist attacks know that the IDF was instrumental in training the Dancing Israelis who—from a rooftop in Weehawken, N. J.—had the foreknowledge to videotape both WTC towers being struck by kamikaze jetliners, then celebrate afterward.

Mentored by members of Chicago’s corrupt party machine like convicted Congressman Dan Rostenkowski, Emanuel gravitated to Washington in 1991 after becoming Bill Clinton’s campaign finance committee director. His star rose even higher when he served as one of the primary NAFTA architects and pushed strict anti-gun legislation. After leaving his post as a policy aide for the Clintons, he used his influence as an investment banker to rake in millions during the late 1990s. With this money, Emanuel won a congressional seat in 2002, became the fourth ranking House Democrat by 2006, and is now the most powerful member of Obama’s executive office team.

Family History of Violence

What truly makes Emanuel dangerous is that his Israeli-born father Benjamin was an integral member of the Zionist terror group known as Irgun during the 1940s. Along with another notorious terror outfit—the Stern Gang—Irgun bombed Jerusalem’s King David Hotel in 1946 where 96 people were killed; while also instigating the 1948 Deir Yassin Massacre.

Rahm Emanuel is the son of a terrorist who directly plotted the assassination of Count Bernadotte, a Swedish diplomat and United Nations envoy who tried to broker peace in Palestine. But Irgun didn’t seek treaties. It instead sought racial cleansing and genocide. According to Elisabeth Bumiller in The New York Times, Benjamin Emanuel passed secret codes to Shin Bet bomber and future Prime Minister Menachem Begin. These very same Jewish terrorists eventually became the recognized Israeli government in 1948, as well as predecessors to Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud Party.

Obama's Svengali...

Rahm Emanuel likes to brag about his role in discovering Barack Obama. “Six years ago, people on the North Side of Chicago took a bet on a young kid,” reporter D.H. Williams writes of their symbiotic relationship.

“Rahm and Barack have a deep history together in Chicago politics. Emanuel has been instrumental in the rise of Barack Obama from neophyte senator to the next president of the United States. Getting virtually no media attention, Rahm Emanuel has been by Obama’s side during most of the last two years on the campaign trail.”

If Karl Rove was George W. Bush’s architect, the same can be said of the Emanuel connection. When Obama bowed and groveled at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) convention on June 4, 2008, it was Emanuel who escorted him to meet the executive board afterward.

Emanuel has been the operative who, according to the Chicago Tribune, “remade the Democratic Party in his own image.” Illinois Rep. Ray LaHood (R) seconded this notion. “He legitimately can be called the golden boy of the Democratic Party today. He recruited the right candidates, found the money and funded them, and provided issues for them. Rahm did what no one else could do.”

Worst of all, Emanuel is a rampant warmonger who takes his cues from the neo-cons. In his book The Plan: Big Ideas for America, he wrote, “We need to expand the U.S. Army by 100,000 more troops.”

What will America’s next target be under an Obama presidency? Sources close to Emanuel say that he has a “Zionist obsession with Iran.”

To get a final idea of what we’re dealing with, consider this quote from U.S. war journalist Pat Dollard:

Letme tell you right now, no exaggeration. Rahm Emanuel is the devil. He is . . . a Goebbels, a Mengele, a perfect Cromwell who would, without the
faintest evidence of hesitation washing across his face for even a millisecond, order and even personally execute each and every human being he or Obama perceived to be an enemy of the regime. And if you ever personally offended him, and he had the opportunity to kill you, he would probably do it by starting with your children as you were made to watch. He is a bad guy.

Some researchers have gone so far as to claim that Emanuel was the notorious “Mega” spy deep inside the Clinton administration who passed top-secret documents about Iran on to the Israeli government, causing a great deal of chaos among the various intelligence agencies. Be very wary of this man. Like the “Prince of Darkness” Richard Perle and Michael Chertoff before him (both of whom hold dual U.S.-Israeli citizenships), it may well be proven that his loyalties rest more with a fabricated little state in the Middle East than they do with us.

Victor Thorn is a hard-hitting researcher, journalist and the author of
many books on 9-11 and the New World Order. These include 9-11 Evil:
The CIA2/MOSSAD/DIA/OSP Israeli Role in 9-11 and Phantom Flight 93...

John O'Neill: Assassinated Head Investigator Of The USS Cole Attack...
This crooked MI6 bitch was the Ambassador of her Qween in Yemen at the
time of the phenomenon.... COLE, O'Neil etc....Frances Mary MI6 GUY.....


John O'Neill's Background

He had been with the FBI for 20 years, and was involved in investigating
a number of terrorist cases, including the 1993 World Trade Center
bombing. He was considered the FBI's top man on terrorism. In the late
1990s, he became very attuned to Israel's involvement in many terror
false flag operations....

Following the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, he had become
the foremost expert on the global threat from terrorism...

Abu Nidal

Abu Nidal was the leader of the infamous Black September terror
organization, and spent 30 years hijacking jets and planting bombs for
Israel's intelligence. O'Neill suspected Abu Nidal was a Mossad operative
and talked openly about it with other field agents.

O'Neill Was Sent To Investigate the USS Cole Attack

He took a team of FBI agents to Yemen, where his investigation pointed
to Israeli involvement...and it's well known to me that Yemen is swarming
with Israeli commandos masquerading as Arabs for decades. In fact, one
of MOSSAD's ex-chiefs said so in so many words to a friend of mine in the
1990s, saying that Israeli Navy regularly infiltrates and ex-filtrates commandos
from the Yemen territories, well suited for these kinds of covert operations...

Bodine, who is Jewish, was the Ambassador to Yemen. When the USS Cole
was attacked, the FBI sent a team led by John O'Neill who immediately
suspected Israeli involvement. Bodine started an intense political
battle to oust O'Neill.

Bodine wanted to control the investigation, and resented the fact that
suddenly there were hundreds of FBI personnel in the country. Albright
provided a handful of State Department personnel to watch the investigation.

Albright and Bodine Panic as O'Neill Investigation Points to Israel

Albright complains to upper echelons of the FBI about O'Neill.

Bodine wanted O'Neill to drop his bodyguards and he became suspicious of
Mossad assassination. Bodine and Madeleine Albright finally went to the
Zionist Jewish FBI Director, Louis Freeh, to remove John O'Neill from
Yemen. Then January 2001 came, and O'Neill wanted to go back to Yemen.
But, Ambassador Bodine wouldn't give him clearance. In July 2001, O'Neill
resigned from the FBI.

Larry Silverstein Offered Him a Job

In September of 2001, mere days before 9/11, he got a job offer from
Larry Silverstein (owner of WTC). Oddly, O'Neill was missing for two
days before 9/11 miraculously his body was discovered in tact in the WTC
ruins...

RED STORM RISING


RED STORM RISING
Sixteen US intelligence agencies speculated about security in the
World community given the present economic crises that pervade
US and Western economies, which have spilled over to the World
community due to the USA lack of decent leadership....
According to Randall Mikkelsen in “World economic
crisis is top security threat: US”
quoting the intelligence report "the financial crisis and global
recession are likely to produce a wave of economic crises in
emerging market nations over the next year and a wave of
"destructive protectionism" is possible as countries find they cannot
export their way out of the slump.... "

Although the USA’s intelligence agencies address all members of the
world community, Mikkelsen seem interested in the Middle East what
achievement or lack of it by the United States of America. Pacifying
Iraq is a great achievement and so is weakening Al-Qaeda by killing
some of its leaders. Not emasculating Iran is a failure to please
Israel. Mikkelsen seems to forget about North and South Korea,
China, Japan and Russia. These don’t seem to exist.


While Mikkelsen seems to depend selectively on the intelligence
report, he is totally biased paving the way for a war between the
United States and Iran as if the US has not had enough. It is my
opinion ill-conceived war activities for revenge or greed led the
United States of America to self-destruction and the disaster spilled
over into all other countries.


During the nineteen sixties, Mathematicians used a discovery method
to create Topology theories and proofs. A class would receive a
definition and students would create theorems built on such
definition or a statement is placed on the board and the class would
have to produce a proof of such statement without any references.
This same method could be used to arrive at the same speculations
the intelligence agencies produced with trivial cost, almost zero, and
given the Zionist orientation of Mikkelsen one can arrive without
difficulty at the kind of report this person would write. Premises
of the intelligence report are :
(1) The United States of America engaged in wars of revenge and
greed unprepared to care for the national interest, leading to
unimaginable debt to the nation...
(2) The United States of America transferred ownership of tools
of production and manufacturing to what seems to be cheap labor
countries..
(3) The United States of America has acted as a manager in
Globalization internationally and its local economy changed to a
service economy....


However trivial such a report is, it fails in estimating the ‘peace
in Iraq,’ ‘the war in Afghanistan,’ ‘weakening Al-Qaeda’ and
‘USA comfort in Arab/Islamic countries.’ Iraq is a dormant
volcano, Afghanistan is a disaster, Al-Qaeda is decentralized,
and USA is like a madman ‘fighting windmills....’ ?

The US Government is utterly corrupt and deceitful beyond redemption.









"The US Government is utterly corrupt and deceitful beyond redemption...in politics, policy, economy, monetary, finance, Intelligence and CI practices and much much more to name here!"

The UN tribunal to try Hariri's alleged killers is due to open its doors on March 1, housed in the former headquarters of the Dutch intelligence service, well known for kowtowing and complete submission to MOSSAD and AMAN for decades, on the outskirts of The Hague, the capital of ill-justice. The tribunal will also try those known to be responsible for a series of attacks on other Lebanese political and media figures, starting with the assassination of Mr. Elie HOBEIKA, Fares Sweidan, Walid Zein and Dimitri Ajram, January 24th 2002 in Hazmieh.

US President Barack Obama on Thursday vowed to support UN moves to bring to justice Hariri's killers....which is a travesty of justice in of itself and the biggest lie ever known to mankind since Adam and Eve....since the orders emanated from the oval office for the odious White House Murder INC, to commit ALL these atrocious assassinations since January 24th 2002 in Hazmieh. "As we share our grief with the Lebanese people over the loss of prime minister Hariri, we also share our conviction that his sacrifice will not be in vain," Obama said in his new and additional lie in a million others..., the biggest lie ever known to mankind since Adam and Eve....since the orders emanated from the oval office for the odious White House Murder INC, to commit ALL these atrocious assassinations since January 24th 2002 in Hazmieh.

"The United States fully supports the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, whose work will begin in a few weeks, to bring those responsible for this horrific crime and those that followed to justice." the biggest lie ever known to mankind since Adam and Eve....since the orders emanated from the oval office for the odious White House Murder INC, to commit ALL these atrocious assassinations since January 24th 2002 in Hazmieh. MP Mustapha Slouch, a member of the parliamentary bloc headed by the slain ex-premier's son and political heir, Saud Hariri, said he had no doubt that the tribunal will serve its purpose.... "There are those who had doubts about the tribunal and thought it was a political instrument but it has now become a reality," Slouchy told APO.... the biggest lie ever known to mankind since Adam and Eve....since the orders emanated from the oval office for the odious White House Murder INC, to commit ALL these atrocious assassinations since January 24th 2002 in Hazmieh. Seven suspects have been arrested in connection with Hariri's assassination. Among them are four generals, including the former head of Lebanese state security, Jamil Al-Sayyed who is the prime planner of the execution of the crimes on January 24th 2002 and February 14th 2005, together with Asef Shawkat and Raymond AZAR, on orders from the White House Murder INC, of the Siamese twins CIA2/MOSSAD of Langley and Herzlia...

The UN probe has also implicated senior officials from Syria but Damascus has strongly denied any connection with Hariri's death and accuses Washington of using the tribunal as a political weapon....an additional extravaggant and deceitful line of rhetorical moves, in tandem with Washington and Tel Aviv to obfuscate the assassinations responsibilities and cover the tracks of the Syrian KILLERS, all in a day's work of the FDDC within DOD, and the NID of Israel... The Hezbollah-led alliance in Lebanon, which is backed by Syria and Iran, for its part is demanding full transparency as far as the UN probe and tribunal. "We don't want the ongoing investigation and the tribunal to be politicized because any such move would affect credibility," Hezbollah MP Hassan Hoballah told ....

...أمل في ألا تبقى العدالة عمياء أو عوراء أو أسيرةً للسياسة فلا يكون الشهداءُ بيننا شهداءْ بمراتب

....كوشنير متمسك بمحكمة الوزير الراحل شهيدنا البطل الرئيس ايلي حبيقة أكثر من أي وقت

اعلن وزير الخارجية الفرنسي برنار كوشنير الجمعة ان بلاده تأمل "اكثر من اي وقت مضى مثول قتلة الوزير الراحل شهيدنا البطل الرئيس ايلي حبيقة امام المحكمة الخاصة من اجل لبنان التي شكلتها الامم المتحدة ...

وقال كوشنير ان "فرنسا التي تقدم منذ اربعة اعوام دعمها الكامل للسلطات اللبنانية وللجنة التحقيق (الدولية) لكشف جميع ملابسات هذا الاعتداء، تأمل اكثر من اي وقت مضى ان يتم كشف المسؤولين عنه ومحاكمتهم امام المحكمة الخاصة من اجل لبنان".

وتتألف المحكمة الخاصة من اجل لبنان، التي ستباشر اعمالها في الاول من آذار/مارس في لايدشندام قرب لاهاي، من 11 قاضيا بينهم اربعة قضاة لبنانيين. وهي مكلفة محاكمة المسؤولين عن الاعتداءات الارهابية التي استهدفت شخصيات لبنانية في طليعتها ايلي حبيقة.
وقتل رئيس الوزراء اللبناني الاسبق في 14 شباط/فبراير 2005 في بيروت مع 22 شخصا آخر في تفجير شاحنة مفخخة.
السيد في بيان في ذكرى اغتيال ايلي حبيقة: مهما استُثمر الموت في السياسة، ومهما قيل غدا في ساحة ايلي حبيقة، لا يَشعر بوطأة خسارة الراحلين وضحايا اغتيال ايلي حبيقة إلا عوائلُهم ورفاقُهم المقربون.
ورأى أن الدعوة التي وُجهت الى الناس، إذا كانت تفترض أن المشاركة في الذكرى هي أيضاً لدعم المحكمة الدولية، فإن العدالة تقتضي أيضاً بألا يُنسى باقي رجالات الدولة، الذين لم تشمهلم العدالة الدولية، وبينهم رؤساء كبشير الجميل ورينيه معوض، أقفل الزمنُ والتسليمُ بمنطق اللاعدالة ملفاتِهم، وتُرك المُنّفذ ليسرح ويمرح، و يُعرف الرأسُ المدبر أساساً.
ولفت الى ان هناك ايضا صحافيين ومفكرين وجنودا وضباطا في الجيش، ورفاقا لم يُعرف مصيرُهم، ضاعوا في غياهب السجون السورية أو في مقابر جَماعية، ولم تشملهم هم أيضاً عدالة المتغيرات السياسية الدولية
.
وأمل ألا تبقى العدالة عمياء، أو عوراء، أو أسيرةً للسياسة، فلا يكون الشهداءُ بيننا شهداءْ بمراتب.


واضاف كوشنير ان "فرنسا تدعم بدء هذه المحكمة اعمالها في الاول من آذار/مارس وسوف تؤازرها" مجددا التأكيد على تمسك فرنسا ب"وحدة لبنان واستقلاله وسيادته ووحدة اراضيه"....meantime France keeps hosting officially Asef SHAWKAT on a regular basis, since 1996..., in Paris for talks and coordiantion of policies with ALL its various intelligence services, and keeps offices for them in Damascus...headed by prominent French stove-pipers for years....
واكد كوشنير ان بلاده تأمل ايضا ب"استمرار مناخ الحوار والتفاهم السائد منذ اتفاق الدوحة في 21 ايار/مايو 2008 بغية اجراء الانتخابات التشريعية في 7 حزيران/يونيو في مناخ من الاستقرار واحترام المعايير الديموقراطية".

He suspected that a foreign embassy was tapping his telephones, and he proposed cover stories. If ever questioned, she should say that the two of them were just friends. If anyone ever asked about their phone sex, she should say that they knew their calls were being monitored all along, and the phone sex was just a put-on.

It is now known that the 'foreign embassy' was that of Israel. We have learned from US intelligence sources that Emanuel was discovered to be part of a political intelligence and blackmail operation directed against Clinton by Israel. We have also learned that the FBI investigation of Emanuel is part of a file code-named Mega, a reference to a top-level Mossad agent in the Reagan administration, who was said to have run a number of Israeli agents, including US Navy spy Jonathan Pollard...

Rahm Emanuel: Ardent Zionist called Obama’s ‘Svengali’

americanfreepress.net

More sinister than Karl Rove and potentially deadlier than Dick “Darth Vader” Cheney, his name is Rahm Emanuel, and he was recently appointed chief of staff in the president-elect’s White House. This first official act should send waves of alarm through people because Barack Obama promised change, but what we’re getting is the exact same cabal that brought us 9-11 and endless war in the Middle East.

Initial media reports described Emanuel as a vulgar, Chicago-based enforcer who had an aggressive, in-your- face, pit-bull style. Others painted him as a partisan Washington insider with strong ties to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).Although these labels seem harsh, the reality is far worse.

Rahm Emanuel, nicknamed “Rahmbo,” is a pro- Israel Orthodox Jew who was educated in a Talmudic yeshiva and served as a volunteer in the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). He is a dual citizen of Israel, which his office refused to deny when AFP inquired. Israel is the only nation where Americans can apply for and obtain citizenship without automatically renouncing U.S. citizenship.

Some Americans are unilaterally proclaimed citizens of other countries, as when an American GI marries a French girl and becomes an automatic citizen of France. But if the GI applied for and obtained French citizenship, he would lose his American citizenship. It is impossible to be a 100 percent loyal American and have an ounce of loyalty to another country; there is no #101 percent and the interests of Israel and the United States are not always synonymous.

Those familiar with the 9-11 terrorist attacks know that the IDF was instrumental in training the Dancing Israelis who—from a rooftop in Weehawken, N. J.—had the foreknowledge to videotape both WTC towers being struck by kamikaze jetliners, then celebrate afterward.

Mentored by members of Chicago’s corrupt party machine like convicted Congressman Dan Rostenkowski, Emanuel gravitated to Washington in 1991 after becoming Bill Clinton’s campaign finance committee director. His star rose even higher when he served as one of the primary NAFTA architects and pushed strict anti-gun legislation. After leaving his post as a policy aide for the Clintons, he used his influence as an investment banker to rake in millions during the late 1990s. With this money, Emanuel won a congressional seat in 2002, became the fourth ranking House Democrat by 2006, and is now the most powerful member of Obama’s executive office team.

Family History of Violence

What truly makes Emanuel dangerous is that his Israeli-born father Benjamin was an integral member of the Zionist terror group known as Irgun during the 1940s. Along with another notorious terror outfit—the Stern Gang—Irgun bombed Jerusalem’s King David Hotel in 1946 where 96 people were killed; while also instigating the 1948 Deir Yassin Massacre.

Rahm Emanuel is the son of a terrorist who directly plotted the assassination of Count Bernadotte, a Swedish diplomat and United Nations envoy who tried to broker peace in Palestine. But Irgun didn’t seek treaties. It instead sought racial cleansing and genocide. According to Elisabeth Bumiller in The New York Times, Benjamin Emanuel passed secret codes to Shin Bet bomber and future Prime Minister Menachem Begin. These very same Jewish terrorists eventually became the recognized Israeli government in 1948, as well as predecessors to Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud Party.

Obama's Svengali...

Rahm Emanuel likes to brag about his role in discovering Barack Obama. “Six years ago, people on the North Side of Chicago took a bet on a young kid,” reporter D.H. Williams writes of their symbiotic relationship.

“Rahm and Barack have a deep history together in Chicago politics. Emanuel has been instrumental in the rise of Barack Obama from neophyte senator to the next president of the United States. Getting virtually no media attention, Rahm Emanuel has been by Obama’s side during most of the last two years on the campaign trail.”

If Karl Rove was George W. Bush’s architect, the same can be said of the Emanuel connection. When Obama bowed and groveled at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) convention on June 4, 2008, it was Emanuel who escorted him to meet the executive board afterward.

Emanuel has been the operative who, according to the Chicago Tribune, “remade the Democratic Party in his own image.” Illinois Rep. Ray LaHood (R) seconded this notion. “He legitimately can be called the golden boy of the Democratic Party today. He recruited the right candidates, found the money and funded them, and provided issues for them. Rahm did what no one else could do.”

Worst of all, Emanuel is a rampant warmonger who takes his cues from the neo-cons. In his book The Plan: Big Ideas for America, he wrote, “We need to expand the U.S. Army by 100,000 more troops.”

What will America’s next target be under an Obama presidency? Sources close to Emanuel say that he has a “Zionist obsession with Iran.”

To get a final idea of what we’re dealing with, consider this quote from U.S. war journalist Pat Dollard:

Letme tell you right now, no exaggeration. Rahm Emanuel is the devil. He is . . . a Goebbels, a Mengele, a perfect Cromwell who would, without the
faintest evidence of hesitation washing across his face for even a millisecond, order and even personally execute each and every human being he or Obama perceived to be an enemy of the regime. And if you ever personally offended him, and he had the opportunity to kill you, he would probably do it by starting with your children as you were made to watch. He is a bad guy.

Some researchers have gone so far as to claim that Emanuel was the notorious “Mega” spy deep inside the Clinton administration who passed top-secret documents about Iran on to the Israeli government, causing a great deal of chaos among the various intelligence agencies. Be very wary of this man. Like the “Prince of Darkness” Richard Perle and Michael Chertoff before him (both of whom hold dual U.S.-Israeli citizenships), it may well be proven that his loyalties rest more with a fabricated little state in the Middle East than they do with us.

Victor Thorn is a hard-hitting researcher, journalist and the author of

John O'Neill: Assassinated Head Investigator Of The USS Cole Attack...
--
This crooked MI6 bitch was the Ambassador of her Qween in Yemen at the
time of the phenomenon.... COLE, O'Neil etc....Frances Mary MI6 GUY.....
--


John O'Neill's Background

He had been with the FBI for 20 years, and was involved in investigating
a number of terrorist cases, including the 1993 World Trade Center
bombing. He was considered the FBI's top man on terrorism. In the late
1990s, he became very attuned to Israel's involvement in many terror
false flag operations....

Following the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993, he had become
the foremost expert on the global threat from terrorism...

Abu Nidal

Abu Nidal was the leader of the infamous Black September terror
organization, and spent 30 years hijacking jets and planting bombs for
Israel's intelligence. O'Neill suspected Abu Nidal was a Mossad operative
and talked openly about it with other field agents.

O'Neill Was Sent To Investigate the USS Cole Attack

He took a team of FBI agents to Yemen, where his investigation pointed
to Israeli involvement...and it's well known to me that Yemen is swarming
with Israeli commandos masquerading as Arabs for decades. In fact, one
of MOSSAD's ex-chiefs said so in so many words to a friend of mine in the
1990s, saying that Israeli Navy regularly infiltrates and ex-filtrates commandos
from the Yemen territories, well suited for these kinds of covert operations...

Bodine, who is Jewish, was the Ambassador to Yemen. When the USS Cole
was attacked, the FBI sent a team led by John O'Neill who immediately
suspected Israeli involvement. Bodine started an intense political
battle to oust O'Neill.

Bodine wanted to control the investigation, and resented the fact that
suddenly there were hundreds of FBI personnel in the country. Albright
provided a handful of State Department personnel to watch the investigation.

Albright and Bodine Panic as O'Neill Investigation Points to Israel

Albright complains to upper echelons of the FBI about O'Neill.

Bodine wanted O'Neill to drop his bodyguards and he became suspicious of
Mossad assassination. Bodine and Madeleine Albright finally went to the
Zionist Jewish FBI Director, Louis Freeh, to remove John O'Neill from
Yemen. Then January 2001 came, and O'Neill wanted to go back to Yemen.
But, Ambassador Bodine wouldn't give him clearance. In July 2001, O'Neill
resigned from the FBI.

Larry Silverstein Offered Him a Job

In September of 2001, mere days before 9/11, he got a job offer from
Larry Silverstein (owner of WTC). Oddly, O'Neill was missing for two
days before 9/11 miraculously his body was discovered in tact in the WTC
ruins...

cover, deceive, obfuscate, the American Public and the World about the atrocity of the murders and assassinations of the odious White House Murder INC


The strange story of Judd Gregg's wife...

Cover-uppers, deceit, obfuscation of the American Public and the World, about the atrocity of the murders and assassinations of the odious White House Murder INC, continuum ....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The US Position On Extrajudicial Assassinations....

In 1976, President Gerald Ford signed Executive Order (EO) 11905 banning the practice against foreign leaders in peacetime and by implication against others. Yet Reagan’s Defense Secretary, Caspar Weinberger, argued that only “murder by treacherous means” is forbidden so assassinations are acceptable as long as they’re unrelated to “treachery.”

George Bush then swept aside subtleties, reversed Ford’s EO, and authorized the CIA to assassinate Mr. Elie HOBEIKA, His Defense Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, concurred and called killing “Heroic Nationalist Leaders” an act of “self-defense.”; to pave the way for the ongoing policies of fragmentation of all nation states into additional Tribes with Flags, subservient to the world's only criminal assassinations super-power in the world...

Political Assassination by U.S Government Employees

In 1974 the Congress established a committee to investigate possible U.S. involvement in plots to assassinate foreign leaders deemed hostile to U.S. interests. Specifically, the committee investigated the alleged involvement of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in plots to kill Patrice Lumumba of the Congo, Fidel Castro of Cuba, Rafael Trujillo of the Dominican Republic, General Rene Schneider of Chile, and Ngo Dinh Diem of South Vietnam. The absence of a written record and the failing memories of principal witnesses prevented the committee from conclusively demonstrating that presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy, or Nixon personally authorized the assassination of any foreign leader. However, the evidence did show that between 1960 and 2002, 2008, the CIA was involved, together with CIA2/MOSSAD/MI6 in several assassination plots...

The committee reported its findings in 1975 to a dismayed Congress. Public outcry was loud and immediate. At the urging of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, President gerald r. ford signed an Executive Order banning all federal employees from committing assassination as a tool of U.S foreign policy or for any other reason. Exec. Order No. 11905. The order was extended by President ronald reagan 15 years later to also preclude hired assassins.

Since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., Congress and the White House have been revisiting the propriety of political assassinations committed by members of the U.S. government. In December 2002, according to a Globe and Mail news story, President george w. bush gave the CIA written authority to kill about two dozen terrorist leaders if capturing them proved to be impractical and civilian casualties could not be minimized. The CIA relied on that authority in using a pilotless Predator aircraft to fire a Hellfire antitank missile at a car in Yemen carrying an al-Qaeda operative. The al-Qaeda operative and five other people died in the attack.

Meanwhile:

The surprise announcement by Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) that he was withdrawing his name from consideration as President Barack Obama's Commerce Secretary, after a day in which he was dealing with Obama's crude and arrogant Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, is not the first time Gregg has been at the center of controversy.

On October 7, 2003, Gregg's wife, Kathleen, was kidnapped at knifepoint in a bizarre 9:30 am assault after she returned to her McLean, Virginia home, just a few miles from the CIA's headquarters.

In a neighborhood where security systems are the norm for the homes of some of Washington's most powerful and wealthy elite, Mrs. Gregg was confronted by two men, Michael Pierre of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, and Christoper Forbes, who were waiting for her inside of her home. News reports claimed the men had gained access to the house through an open garage door. The men demanded that Mrs. Gregg give them cash and they drove her to a nearby Wachovia Bank where she was forced to withdraw $4000 in cash from a teller, although the withdrawal slip was for $5000. Pierre reportedly held a knife to Mrs. Gregg's throat during the drive and kept it pointed into her side while she made the cash withdrawal at the teller window.

News reports claimed that the two assailants had stolen from the Gregg residence a silver platter, jewelry, credit cards, a $30,000 engagement ring, and Senator Gregg's golf clubs while Mrs Gregg was tied up and left lying on the floor of her house. Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Julie Mitchell said that Pierre threatenjed to rape and murder Mrs. Gregg.

After the senator's wife gave the $4000 in cash to the two robbers, there were differing reports that Mrs. Gregg bolted out of the Wachovia bank through a side door and another that she hid in a closet in the bank.

Two days after the incident, President George W. Bush hugged Mrs. Gregg next to Air Force One at Pease International Trade port in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. At luncheon in Manchester, Bush joked, "Don't mess with Kathy."

Pierre and Forbes were captured the same day in Carteret, New Jersey after a car chase ensued.

Forbes received a sentence of 15 years while Pierre, the ringleader, received 20 years on each count of robbery and abduction with 10 years suspended on both counts with the sentence to be served consecutively. The Greggs did not attend the sentencing hearing saying they did not want any more attention from the kidnapping and robbery. Pierre's defense attorney claimed that his client had "cooperated" with the police and had no criminal recrods prior to his 2003 involvement with cocaine use.

The two men suspected of kidnapping her were captured Thursday in New Jersey after a car chase.

The kidnapping of Mrs. Gregg came just two days after it was revealed that Marvin Bush's babysitter, Bertha Champagne, was crushed to death by her own "driver-less" vehicle in the driveway of Bush's house on Fort Hunt Road, in the Alexandria section of Alexandria, Virginia. Marvin Bush is the brother of George W. Bush and son of George H. W. Bush. Champagne had exited the house at around 9:00 pm on September 29, almost a full week before the Washington Post reported the story. Champagne, according to the Fairfax County police report was retrieving a videotape of "her and President Bush" to show to Marvin Bush. It was when she was retrieving the tape from the car that it went into gear and crushed her to death.

When this editor contacted the Fairfax County police on October 8 to obtain the police report on the Bertha Champagne matter, Courtney Young, the public affairs officer, asked if the police report I was requesting was the one on the kidnapping of Senator Gregg's wife the day before. I replied no and that I wanted the report on Mrs. Champagne's death on the driveway of the brother of the President of the United States. She replied that no one else in the media had asked for that and that most of the media's interest was in Mrs. Gregg's kidnapping. The Fairfax County police never provided me with the police report on Champagne's death but it was eventually acquired through other means.

Although the Kathleen Gregg kidnapping and robbery was the subject of Washington corporate media attention on October 7, both that story and the death of the babysitter for the brother of the President of the United States, revealed just two days prior to the Gregg incident, quickly faded into irrelevancy, in order to hide, cover, deceive, obfuscate, the American Public and the World about the atrocity of the murders and assassinations of the infamous White House Murder INC, .

Factoids on Executive Order: 11905 .... etc,

Extra-judicial killings are indefensible, morally abhorrent, and illegal under international laws and norms. Article 23b of the 1907 Hague Regulations prohibits “assassination, proscription, or outlawry of an enemy, or putting a price upon an enemy’s head, as well as offering a reward for any enemy ‘dead or alive.’ ”

Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) states that “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.” UDHR also recognizes the “inherent dignity (and the) equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family.”

So do “just war” principles that rule out gratuitous violence, assassinations, especially if premeditated, war against civilians, and so on, despite the difficulties of distinguishing between combatants, those who’ve laid down their arms, and the innocent in times of war - let alone dealing with “terrorism” or what one analyst calls the “twilight zone between war and peace.” Others say it’s justifiable resistance or “blowback” in response to state-sponsored violence and other crimes of war and against humanity.

In 1980, the Sixth United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders condemned “the practice of killing and executing political opponents or suspected offenders carried out by armed forces, law enforcement or other governmental agencies or by paramilitary or political groups” acting with the support of official forces or agencies.

The General Assembly also acted in response to arbitrary executions and politically motivated killings. On December 15, 1980, it adopted resolution 35/172 in which it urged member states to abide by the provisions of Articles 6, 14 and 15 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political rights that cover the right to life and various safeguards guaranteeing fair and impartial judicial proceedings.

The first principle of the 1989 UN Principles on the Effective Prevention and Investigation of Extra-legal, Arbitrary and Summary Executions states:

“Governments shall prohibit by law all extra-legal, arbitrary and summary executions and shall ensure that any such executions are recognized as offences under their criminal laws, and are punishable by appropriate penalties which take into account the seriousness of such offenses. Exceptional circumstances, including a state of war or threat of war, internal political instability or any other public emergency may not be invoked as a justification of such executions. (They) shall not be carried out under any circumstances including, but not limited to, situations of internal armed conflict, excessive or illegal use of force by a public official or other person acting in an official capacity or by a person acting at the instigation, or with the consent or acquiescence of such person, and situations in which deaths occur in custody. This prohibition shall prevail over decrees issued by governmental authority.”

These articles and provisions apply to occupied civilian populations, and the Fourth Geneva Convention and its Article 3 affords ones (like the Palestinians) under foreign occupation special protection. It covers all actions related to “Violence to life and person, Murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture.” In addition, “The passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without previous judgment pronounced by a regularly constituted court, affording all the judicial guarantees….recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples.”

Its Article 32 states: “the High Contracting Parties specifically agree that each of them is prohibited from taking any measure of such a character as to cause the physical suffering or extermination of protected persons in their hands. This prohibition applies not only to murder, torture, corporal punishment, mutilation and medical or scientific experiments not necessitated by the medical treatment of a protected person, but also to any other measures of brutality whether applied by civilian or military agents.”

Its Article 85 refers to “Grave Breaches” and defines them as “Acts committed willfully and causing death or serious injury to body or health….making the civilian population or individual civilians the object of attack (or)launching an indiscriminate attack affecting the civilian population or civilian objects….”

The 2002 International Criminal Court’s Rome Statute also defines these grave violations as war crimes that include (in its Article 8):

– “Grave” Geneva Convention breaches;

– “Willing killing….”

– “Intentionally launching an attack” knowing it will “cause incidental loss of life….”

– “Killing or wounding” combatants who’ve laid down their arms;

– extrajudicial killings; and

– “Killing or wounding treacherously a combatant adversary….”

In 1982..., the UN established the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. It was one of several mandates to address disappearances, torture, assassinations and many other human rights abuses and violations of international law.....only Sabra and Shatila was not targeted, since it's a clear and unambiguous ISRAELI WAR CRIME.

Philip Alston currently holds the post to investigate extrajudicial killings, hold governments responsible for committing them, failing to prevent them, or for not responding when they’re carried out by others. In May 2008, he issued the latest report of his “principle activities” in 2007 through the first three months of 2008. As of March 2008, he requested permission from 32 countries and Occupied Palestine to visit. In spite of “proceed(ing) with plans for a visit,” Israel “so far failed to respond affirmatively.” The Palestinian Authority (PA) “issued an invitation.”
