'FBI INTIMIDATING ANTI-WAR LEADERS

Leaders of the anti-war movement in the US say they have been threatened and intimidated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).


The FBI raided the houses of several anti-war leaders in Minneapolis and Chicago, searching for evidence of their alleged connection with terrorist groups in Columbia and the Middle East.

Subpoenas have been issued for 11 anti-war organizers to appear before a Grand Jury and they may be indicted for what the FBI calls 'material support for terrorism.'

In a press conference, anti-war organizer Joe Iosbaker denied the accusations, saying the activists have done nothing wrong.

"All we ever did was work against US military aid to … Israel and Columbia … and if the US government wants to call that terrorism, we're all terrorists," Iosbaker said.
Anti-war leaders believe the raids and the subpoenas constitute what they call 'harassment at the highest levels.'

An anti-war group Code Pink says it is frightened as it might be the next FBI target.

"It's shocking, it's outrageous, and it's scary," founder of Code Pink, Medea Benjamin said.

The timing of FBI searches is considered suspicious as they come just a week before a coalition of 40 anti-war groups have scheduled to hold demonstrations in Washington to protest at US President Barack Obama administration's war in Afghanistan.

This shows the true face of FBI that what its working for.Infact people all over in USA are striving for peace but their Govt itself doesnt want peace in the world.It is an eye opener even for the people of america that they must wake up and stand against the wrong policies of their Govt.

ISRAELI NUKES WILL SPARK MIDDLE EAST ARMS RACE

Arab League Secretary General Amr Moussa has warned that the Middle East will head towards an arms race should Israel maintain its nuclear weaponry.


Speaking at a press conference in New York on Friday, Moussa stated that "It is inconceivable that only one country in the Middle East has nuclear weapons. Why should Israel be the only one?"

"There should be no nuclear power in the Middle East. We need to ensure that the Middle East is free from all nuclear weapons," he added.

His remarks came after the International Atomic Energy Agency once again voted against a resolution that called on Israel to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Under the nuclear ambiguity policy, Tel Aviv neither confirms nor denies it possesses nuclear weapons.

Former US President Jimmy Carter has said Israel has between 200 and 300 nuclear warheads.

Arab states say there can not be genuine peace in the Middle East until Israel abandons its nuclear weapons.
Now the main point to focus here is that why US being a super power at present is not pressing israel to abondon its nuclear weapons.

I think this is known to everyone so must not indulge ourselves in these discussions.Infact they (the-americans)themselves dont know what is happening around them.

let me quote the statement of one of israeli spokeswomen "Tzipora menache"

She once very openely said "You know very well, and the stupid Americans know equally well, that we control their government, irrespective of who sits in the White House. You see, I know it and you know it that no American president can be in a position to challenge us even if we do the unthinkable. What can they (Americans) do to us? We control congress, we control the media, we control show biz, and we control everything in America. In America you can criticize God, but you can’t criticize Israel…” Israeli spokeswoman, Tzipora Menache"

Now you can very well imagine that what is the state of affairs in America.Their own Govt is leading them towards complete devastation and misery.

BUSH TEAM WANTED IRAQ WAR FROM START

Declassified documents have revealed that advisors to former US president George W. Bush had focused on justifying a new war on Iraq as soon as he took office.


Official document released on Wednesday shows that a few hours after the 2001 attacks on the Twin Towers in New York, the then Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld spoke of attacking Iraq.

Papers posted by the Washington-based National Security Archive show Rumsfeld discussing war plans for Iraq just two months after the 2001 US invasion of Afghanistan.

In memos dated November 27, he had listed justifications for the war on Iraq.

Iraqi military action against the US-protected enclave in northern Iraq, discovery of ties between former Iraqi dictator Saddam and 9/11 or recent anthrax attacks and disputes with UN weapons inspections were among the possible scenarios.

The documents released under a Freedom of Information request also show that White house claims of Iraq pursuing a nuclear weapons program based on confiscated aluminum tubes were also fabricated.

It was stated in the two State Department memos to then Secretary of State Colin Powell that "The news was released even before a preliminary assessment of the tubes".

In one of the memos it was written that "The announcement had to be made "in our advantage" and it was important to "get the right story out" about the tubes".

After the invasion, the Iraq Survey Group determined that the best explanation for the tubes' use was to produce conventional 81-mm rockets; no evidence was found of a program to design or develop an 81-mm aluminum rotor uranium centrifuges.

ISRAEL SLAMS OFFER FOR DENUCLEARIZATION

The Israeli nuclear agency has once again criticized efforts by Arab countries to push Tel Aviv into becoming a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).


In a speech delivered on Tuesday, Israeli Atomic Energy Organization Director General Shaul Chorev blasted what he called "continuous ill-motivated efforts to single out and to condemn" Israel.

The Israeli official's reaction came in response to a non-binding resolution, which urges Israel to join a global anti-nuclear arms treaty.

Arab states introduced the resolution at this week's annual assembly of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

The "proposed resolution is incompatible with basic principles and norms of international law," Reuters quoted Chorev as saying in his address to the IAEA gathering.

As a staunch supporter of Tel Aviv, Washington has warned Arab countries to withdraw the draft resolution, saying it will jeopardize direct talks between the Palestinian Authority and Israel.

The UN nuclear watchdog has so far refused to ratify any resolutions to condemn Israel's nuclear activities. This is while Israel is widely believed to be the sole possessor of a nuclear arsenal in the Middle East.

IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano recently reported to the agency's Board of Governors about the Israeli nuclear program, saying that Tel Aviv was restricting the agency from examining its nuclear potentials.

The report called on Israel to join the NPT and "place all its nuclear facilities under comprehensive IAEA safeguards," with no enforcement measure.

Now point to ponder upon here is that why Washington is unable to persuade israel to shut down its ever increasing nuclear proliferation.The only answer to this question is US never wanted and still never wants to disarm israel from nuclear weapons as they heve especially been designed to be used against the Muslims.

On one side US is putting a lot of pressure on Iran to stop its nuclear proliferation and on the other hand has left an unleashed dog to continue with whatever it is doing.We strongly condemn this act of israel
