Anti-Imperialist Syrians Speak Out

Syrian Sovereigntists Oppose Imperialist Destabilization of Their Country

by Joshua Blakeney

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve had the pleasure of acquainting myself with a segment of the vast Syrian community who oppose the ongoing covert interventions in Syria and who generally think their current government is doing a good job, all things considered. An intrepid citizen journalist named Michelle Robinson drew my attention to a network of marginalized pro-Assad Syrians based in my city of residence, Calgary, Alberta. Whereas most activists in the West have been hoodwinked by the Zionist-influenced media into blindly supporting the broadly defined “Syrian opposition” my fellow Calgarian had the independence of mind to seek out these opposers of the opposition who offered a more nuanced — and in my view reasonable — analysis to the Syrian debacle.

Michelle artfully produced a series of You Tube interviews with these Syrians, many of whom are receiving hostility from well-funded, well-protected Islamist groups who, for ideological reasons, oppose the Assad government and it’s many supporters. When they call the police to report the death threats they’ve been receiving these Syrians get asked “are you pro-Assad or anti-Assad?” With the Canadian neocon government funding anti-government elements in Syria it is not surprising that these Canadian-Syrians who endorse the Syrian government feel that they are being unjustly treated by the Canadian state and it’s supposed “law enforcement system.” Indeed these Syrian patriots even went so far as to insinuate that the Canadian state was consciously nurturing Islamist groups in order to import the Middle East’s sectarian problems into Canada which would have the effect of making Canadians more likely to view the world through Israel’s anti-Arab spectacles.

I also went to interview these pro-government Syrians at an undisclosed location and was thoroughly moved by their compelling testimony. These Syrian sovereigntists contend that there are reactionary terrorists destabilizing their country at the behest of the US, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Israel. These, often non-Syrian, terrorists are being characterized as “human rights activists” by the mainstream media in the West because Israel and its stooges in the US government benefit from a terrorized, factionalized Syria. These Syrians are thus grateful that their government led by President Assad is using the military to weed out the insurgents who are, literally, killing their family members and destroying their nation. They legitimately fear their country degenerating into civil war and internal sectarianism.

All of those I interviewed emphasized the fissiparious nature of Syria, with it’s eighteen different ethnic groups that are unified by the current government led by the largely secular President Assad. Of course, a comparatively secular government that unites disparate ethnic groups and stands up to the Zionist colonizer, that has illegally occupied the Golan Heights since 1967, is anathema to imperialist interventionists.

I have been very skeptical of the so called “opposition protests” I’ve seen taking place here in Calgary and elsewhere in North America. I am skeptical of any protest that gets ubiquitous, positive coverage by the mainstream media as is invariably the case with these pseudo-revolutionary rallies. The pro-government Syrians informed me that while they had been interviewed multiple times by media venues such as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, those interviews had not been broadcasted.

The failure of the media to report their majoritarian perspective on Assad and Syria was a real source of contention for them. I was the first journalist they had encountered who actually intended to relate their perspectives to his readers, they told me. One would have thought that those liberal activists who attend the anti-Assad protests in North America and Europe would have felt conflicted by the fact that their perspective was zealously promoted by the same media venues that sold us the war on Iraq, the Israeli genocide of Palestine and a host of other imperialist initiatives.

It appears that many leftist activists who’ve been supporting the reactionaries who are destabilizing Syria have a kind of nihilistic philosophy that “anything is better than the status quo.” They support the reactionaries who are jeopardizing Syrian sovereignty premised on their belief that anything is better than an Arab strongman. Zionist liberals have encouraged us to blame Israel’s enemies for the strife in the Middle East rather than blame the most egregious threat to Middle East peace and stability, namely Israel. Leftists fear being called “anti-Semitic” and so refrain from identifying the imperialist agenda of an ethnic-nationalist apartheid state and instead direct their wroth at one of that state’s last remaining nemeses, President Assad.

Joshua Blakeney Discusses 9/11 and the Plan to Balkanize the Middle East at the University of Victoria

During the Cold War anybody who opposed the Communist camp was supported by the US government and its allies even when those people were right-wing, capitalist restorationists or white pro-apartheid forces that would make things worse for the inhabitants of communist nations. Many left-anti communists threw their hat in with aristocrats like Vaclav Havel who sought to implement a regime of privatization on nations that had made several strides to move beyond capitalism to a more humane social order. Likewise today Western governments and their liberal apologists are supporting whichever elements, no matter how reactionary, that oppose the only leaders who offer obstacles to US-Israeli imperialism. And as was the case with left-anti-Communists in the Cold War, left-Zionists are promoting an agenda that will worsen the lot of the ordinary worker in the beleaguered nations.

Many on the left would rightly support Hugo Chavez using his military to restore Venezuelan sovereignty in the event that agents of imperialism were destabilizing Venezuela; why apply a different standard to the Assad government which is using its military to restore peace and order to the working class neighbourhoods that are infested with Mossad and CIA sponsored patsies? Who is selling out the working class Syrian and who is really concerned about their betterment? It would appear that many liberals and Starbucks-sipping revolutionaries have been fooled, yet again, into supporting an imperialist subvention that will potentially lead to the slaughter of millions of Syrians.

In his infamous essay Oded Yinon argued that Israel ought to foment sectarianism in the Middle East so as to weaken all potential opponents of Israeli Empire

It is well documented that the Israeli government aspires to destabilize the Middle East so as to weaken the Arab states in a divide and conquer policy that would facilitate regional hegemony for Israel. This prerogative to break down the Middle East ensemble into ethno-religious statelets was documented most notably in Oded Yinon’s “A Strategy for Israel in the 1980s“. Yinon’s geopolitical analyses evolved into what many scholars have identified as the Sharon Doctrine. In other words this imperialist worldview has its roots in the Likud Party whose leader Bejamin Netanyahu is the the current Israeli Prime Minister. Yinon argued that Israel’s successful divide and rule policy in Lebanon offered a blueprint for a pan-Middle Eastern Israeli foreign policy. Yinon ominously wrote:

“The Western front, which on the surface appears more problematic, is in fact less complicated than the Eastern front, in which most of the events that make the headlines have been taking place recently. Lebanon’s total dissolution into five provinces serves as a precendent for the entire Arab world including Egypt, Syria, Iraq and the Arabian peninsula and is already following that track. The dissolution of Syria and Iraq later on into ethnically or religiously unqiue areas such as in Lebanon, is Israel’s primary target on the Eastern front in the long run, while the dissolution of the military power of those states serves as the primary short term target. Syria will fall apart, in accordance with its ethnic and religious structure, into several states such as in present day Lebanon, so that there will be a Shi’ite Alawi state along its coast, a Sunni state in the Aleppo area, another Sunni state in Damascus hostile to its northern neighbor, and the Druzes who will set up a state, maybe even in our Golan, and certainly in the Hauran and in northern Jordan. This state of affairs will be the guarantee for peace and security in the area in the long run, and that aim is already within our reach today.”

Jonathan Cook has written a whole book on the subject of Middle East balkanization which is aptly entitled Israel and the Clash of Civilizations: Iraq, Iran and the Plan to Remake the Middle East. Stephen Sneigoski likewise documents the Israeli plan to balkanize the Middle East in his book. Sneigoski states on page 50 of his Transparent Cabal: “With Likud’s assumption of power, the most far-reaching militant proposals entered mainstream Zionist thinking, involving militant destabilization of Israel’s neighbours and Palestinian expulsion.”

Having lapped up the moving testimony of the pro-Assad Syrians in Calgary I sought out a new star of the internet, who has adopted the moniker “Syrian Girl”, to hear her analysis of the strife in Syria. Syrian Girl defies so many stereotypes that have been constructed to dehumanize Arabs, Persians, Syrians and many other groups in the Middle East. This dehumanization process is a necessary prerequisite for the premeditated Zionist genocide in the Middle East.

With the precision of a brain surgeon, Syrian Girl, who I am calling the “Flower of Syria”, unpicks the lies and myths which have been propagated by the neocon lie machine. Her analysis is both incisive and inspiring and helps to demystify the Syrian conflict which in turn helps to counter a nefarious Zionist policy that jeopardizes the lives of millions of her fellow countrymen. Syrian Girl is a true philosopher of the struggle for decolonization cut from the same cloth as Frantz Fanon, Nelson Mandela, Patrice Lumumba and Che Guevara. I think we should recognize that Syrian Girl and her fellow Syrian patriots in Calgary are being very courageous by speaking out against the Western-backed sabotage and subterfuge that is taking place in Syria. It is time that left wing activists confront the realities of power and look beyond the liberal window dressing which imperialists decorate their colonial intrigue with.

There was a day when empires cloaked their iniquitous subventions with the moralism of “christianizing the natives”. “Civilizing the natives” was a claim that went hand in hand with the rise of racist social darwinism from which the ideology of Zionism emerged. The emerging Israeli empire and it’s US adjunct slyly and adeptly convinces liberals to support genocide and civil war in the name of “democratization”. “Democratization” is the moral justification for imperialism du jour.

It is quite obvious that the Israeli government hopes the inhabitants of the Middle East will kill each other off sufficiently for Israel to erect a formal empire in the Middle East. Syria is a perfect patchwork of ethnic groups for this divide and rule policy to be prosecuted. Just imagine the false-flags the Mossad are cooking up to build upon those they’ve already been accused of conducting in Egypt’s Coptic churches.

Syria, Waco, Occupy, and Los Angeles: Correlations They Hope You Never Make

Tony Cartalucci, Via Activist Post

Image: While the UN demands that Syria not only allow admittedly armed terrorists to roam freely through its cities, but that they also capitulate to their demands, the West has driven peaceful "Occupy" protesters from the streets of their cities by force. One wonders what events would have followed if protesters being sprayed and beaten in the streets pulled out assault rifles and fired on police. Would Washington withdraw security forces and entertain their demands?

While the West demands Syria pull its security forces from cities where roving bands of terrorists are on record committing widespread atrocities including the kidnapping, torture, and murder of civilians, as documented by the West's own Human Rights Watch report, "Syria: Armed Opposition Groups Committing Abuses," it has denied its own citizens the right to even peacefully assemble at "Occupy" protests to address their grievances back home.

Syria's government has been threatened continuously by the West to begin a process of political "transition," or more accurately, to submit to Western-backed regime change, in the face of armed militants, while the West itself maintains a strict policy of non-negotiation with terrorist demands.

Image: Homs, Syria? No, this is Waco, Texas after a combination of military and federal security forces raided, burned down, and killed nearly every man, woman, and child in this sprawling complex located on private property. The US will kill its own citizens with weapons of war just for breaking their laws, mentioning nothing of what they would do should Americans take to the streets and carry out a campaign of terror while demanding the government step down.

As the West conjures up a myriad of excuses to sweep prolonged "Occupy" protests off the streets of their biggest cities, they insist that the Syrians not only tolerate an armed "occupation," but capitulate immediately to their demands. But one must wonder just what any given Western nation would do if protesters demanded the nation's leadership to stand down, and did so through armed violence.

Video: Hardly unarmed civilians, meet Syria's tank-driving, rocket-firing, Kalashnikov-waving rebels. Had rioters in Los Angeles raided government armories and patrols, capturing armored vehicles and rocket launchers, or had violence escalated to the point where such weapons were crossing in from Mexico, surely Washington would have mobilized armored divisions, gunships, and aircraft to crush them and would be considered negligent if they failed to do so.

In Europe there are the Basque separatists of Spain - considered terrorists across the European Union, England, and the United States. The Irish Republican Army likewise was considered a vicious terrorist organization the United Kingdom sought to crush with a brutal military campaign of their own, turning entire cities into Syrian-esque war zones.

In the United States, there have been no real organized armed uprisings, yet the government has still mobilized its military to slaughter its own citizens as seen during the siege in Waco Texas in 1993. Scenes of tanks and helicopters against the backdrop of a Texan landscape and the subsequent destruction of the Branch Davidian compound are on par with anything allegedly unfolding in Syria, including the murder of women and children.

However, unlike in Syria, where terrorists are actively carrying out widespread violence, including bombing campaigns, targeted assassinations, and kidnappings, the people of Waco, Texas were on their own property attempting to mind their own business.

Image: Not tanks headed for Hama, Syria, but rather tanks waiting in a Texan parking lot for their chance to roll over men, women, and children barricaded on their own private property. The siege at Waco, Texas illustrates that federal authority will not be challenged and that the penalty is certain death - even if a column of tanks must be mobilized. The cheap veneer of civility across Western civilization is peeled back at times like this as is the hypocrisy of their international "responsibility to protect."

When armed groups do take to the streets, such as during the 1992 LA Riots, the government was far from "withdrawing" security forces from the city and accepting demands. In addition to the police who were gunning down both armed threats as well as looters, thousands of National Guardsmen and Marines were also mobilized to restore order. Unlike in Syria, where rebels are armed with rocket propelled grenades, tanks, French-made missiles, assault-rifles, machines guns, and mortars, the rioters in LA were armed with pistols, rifles, shotguns, or simply their own cars - yet still the military was mobilized, and indeed killed Americans in their own streets.

Image: Not Syrian soldiers in the suburbs of Damascus, but rather National Guardsmen and Marines amongst thousands brought in to restore order in California's city of Los Angeles during the 1992 riots. Such a mobilization of military force represents astounding hypocrisy when the Syrian government is then told to stand down in the face of Syrian rebels openly waging war against both the government and minority ethnic groups.

It is sensible for a government to restore order in their own country, preserving the life and liberty of the vast majority of citizens not taking to the streets to carry out theft, violence, and mayhem. The people of Los Angeles, had the government not acted and had the violence continued to spiral out of control, would have begged for security forces to restore order and viewed the government as negligent in their duties should they have failed to do so. They also most likely would have taken the law into their own hands, just like thousands of Syrians are doing now against NATO-backed death squads.

So why is the West holding Syria to standards they themselves have demonstratively rejected? It goes beyond hypocrisy - it is a declaration to the world that the "international rule of law" exists solely as a means to justify the expansion of the West's global hegemony. It is naked military conquest hiding behind the fig leaf of "humanitarian concerns." Syria, as does any sovereign nation or individual on Earth, has the right to defend itself and restore order within its realm.

The United States, England, and France would never withdraw security forces from their own cities where militants were armed with rockets, tanks, and machine guns while killing security forces and civilians alike and they certainly would not step down from power in the face of such armed threats. In fact, after invading foreign nations on patently false pretenses and stirring up warranted armed resistance, they then use such violence to justify perpetual occupation. They promptly label these people "terrorists" and then execute a bloody campaign to eliminate them.

The depths of depravity, the hypocrisy, the illegitimacy flaunted by the United Nations and the Western interests pulling its string, demanding Syrian troops to withdraw from cities plagued by terrorists, but making no mention of the terrorists themselves or their own serial violations of the "peace plan," even as they drive tanks around on camera in front of the world, forever renders moot this latest attempt to assert the "primacy of international law" over that of the nation-state.

What Wall Street and London do through their "international institutions" from this point forward, is done as poorly disguised imperialism with their "humanitarian concerns" nothing more than the weakest sort of rhetoric in the long history of weak rhetoric used to propel the interests of empire.

Labour Jews endorse anti-Zionist Ken Livingstone

Posted on April 27, 2012 |

After anti-Israel George Galloway’s surprise return to British parliament – a group of prominent Jewish members of the “Labour Friends of Israel” who ran a smearing campaign against London Mayoral candidate Adam Yosef Ken Livingstone – have now announced to back him over Conservative rival Boris Johnson who is leading by eight percentage points according to latest poll by ComRes. Boris Johnson’s victory is considered ‘a vote of confidence’ for David Cameron’s pro-Israel and anti-Iran policy.

On March 1 – Israel-Firsters Andrew Gilbert, Neil Nerva, Judith Bara, Jem Stein and Rabbi Danny Rich met Ken Livingstone to clarify his views on Israel, Iran and Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood. However, after learning that Ken still stands-by his praise of Qatar-based Egyptian Islamic scholar Dr. Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi and Iranian Press TV – and his dislike for Zionism and Israel – they wrote a letter to Labour Party leader Ed Milliband, a Zionist Jew, demanding that he should expel Ken from the party.

Ken Livingstone who profess to be an atheist – determines Jews as a religious group but does not accept Jews as an ethnicity and a people. He has also stated: “I am not against Israel, I am against Zionists“.

Labour Jews endorse Nato Mufti

Concerning Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi’s views on homosexuality, Ken had responded: “One would expect the same views on homosexuality from extreme Christians, Muslims and Jews“. Ken repeated his view that al-Qaradawi is a moderate cleric and since he was not advocating suicide bombings in the UK, and as he had apparently been the victim of a smear campaign by the Zionist-controlled British press, Ken would gladly embrace him as he would anyone being attacked by the Murdoch empire.

Endorsing Ken in their latest letter the Jewish Labour leaders say they are acting with “eyes open and breathing deeply, maybe with a sigh or two” in endorsing him.

They claimed that as Mayor of London Livingstone would “irritate, upset and annoy”, but encourage Jewish supporters to back him over Conservative rival Boris Johnson. They also claim that Ken has “regularly upset” them with his position on Israel and his “inappropriate” approaches to political Islamists.

The Israel-Firsters were not ashamed to acknowledge Ken’s services toward British Jewish community in the endorsement letter.

"So much about Ken is good for London and even for the Jewish community. Ken’s policies on housing, transport, regeneration, business, young people, crime and so much more is streets ahead of Boris"

Their letter concludes that voting for Ken Livingstone would lead to better results for the Jewish community than the election of Boris Johnson, who would provide “a few laughs, but little service and not much engagement”.

SYRIA REGIME CHANGE: United Nations Duplicity, Kofi Annan and Diplomats Wives.

By Felicity Arbuthnot

Global Research, April 26, 2012

“Their wives run round like banshees - Their children sing the blues - They've got expensive doctors -To cure their hearts of stone ...” (Maya Angelou, 1928 - )

If destabilization, duplicity, insurgency and mass murder could surprise yet again, with blame of the victim adding to the “shock and awe”, after Libya, Syria would certainly be a case in point.

America’s decades long plan (i, ii) for another puppet government and quasi client state status for the country is well underway. Any observer of the shenanigans within the US Embassy in Damascus would be forgiven for mistaking it for a covert operations centre rather that a seat of diplomacy.(iii) Michel Chossudovsky gives graphic life to Ambassador Ford’s - surely coincidentally -eminently pertinent and relevant qualifications.(iv)

Of course no plan for a country’s ruination is complete without the help of the UN. Think Libya and Resolution 1973, the green light for a “humanitarian”blitzkrieg, regime change, razed towns, murder from air and ground on an industrial scale, including that of most of the country’s leading family, with small grand children and the butchering of Colonel Quaddafi, the country’s sovereign leader, his body still unaccounted for.

Lynch-law ruled, under UN mandate.

Who then, better to be appointed “Peace Envoy” to Libya than Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary General (1997-2006) who silently acquiesced to the average deaths of 6,000 children a month in Iraq from “embargo-related causes”, throughout the hundred and nineteen months of his tenure, bowing to the US-UK driven UN embargo

Inevitably, for his silence, the man who one diplomat described to this publication, as: “like Pontious Pilate, he washes his hands”, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, in 2001, jointly with the UN, for amongst other delusional rubbish, his: “emphasizing its obligations as with regard to human rights.”

Presumably this “emphasis” also applied to his deafening muteness as America and Britain, illegally, bombed Iraq for his entire tenure, often daily, routinely re-destroying vital infrastructure and erasing lives in uncounted numbers.

The UN’s Baghdad cabal, with its fine restaurant and barbecue parties, ensconced at the Canal Hotel, at Iraq’s expense, were in a perfect position to visit these sites, record and account. They never bothered.

That was yesterday. Apart from Annan, the UN has another weapon for Syria: UN diplomat’s wives.

The wives of the German and British Ambassadors to the UN, Frau Huberta Voss-Wittig and Lady Sheila Lyall Grant, have released a video appeal and an online petition to President Assad’s wife, Syria’s First Lady, Asma al Assad. A performance of skin crawling, patronizing, head patting, treacle trash, which reflects nothing but the UN’s duplicity and its representatives privileged, reality- removed lives in its ivory tower.(v)

The “initiative”, the pampered pair stress, is entirely independent, theirs alone, and nothing to do with their husbands.

Of course, ladies.

Frau Voss-Wittig’s involvement, it might be surmised, lies in: “The German ‘ no’ to the US about Iraq”,in 2002.(vi) “Historically this was the deepest ever division between the White House and any post-cold-war German Chancellor.”
Additionally, in August 2002, Germany and France agreed the “Declaration of Schwerin”, named after the German town where their representatives had a working dinner, resolving that they: “had to oppose the war ... and that they had to do it in public and as forcefully as possible.” An overt collision course with the US and UK.

Only when Angela Merkel took office were links tentatively repaired formally, but “shock-waves” remained. Two wives have clearly taken delivery of bricks and tools and set about erecting bridges, never mind demolishing those of others.

Sheila Lyall Grant is the wife of Sir Mark Lyall Grant, former political Director General of the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, a post with wide responsibilities including for Iraq, 2007-2009 and also line manager of post-invasion UK Ambassadors to Iraq.

He was senior policy adviser to the Foreign Secretary on various strategic Foreign Office priorities regarding Iraq, in which capacity he attended major European, G8, UN, OSCE and NATO meetings.

Sir Mark clearly went through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s rigorous and scrupulous selection process as to suitability for key posts:

“I was not an Arabist. I haven't been posted in the Middle East”, he told the Chilcot Inquiry on Iraq (20th January 2010.)

However: “It naturally fell to the Foreign Office to look at where Britain's long-term strategic interests were in Iraq and in the wider region ...”
The Iraq priority for Sir Mark had been: “ a strong economy.”

Whilst: “Abidance of human rights and better social conditions, better social delivery to the people (were) highly desirable, I don't say it is absolutely essential in the near future”, he told the Inquiry. (Emphasis mine.) “Let them rot”, comes to mind.

Given that Nuri al Maliki’s Iraq is now firmly allied with Iran, and a disaster on every level, with economy, health, malnutrition and social conditions worse than the embargo years, it might be though that the Foreign Office and Sir Mark would think twice before stepping aside, as his “independent” wife became another regional unguided missile.

The wives petition, which is pretty much the same as their toe curling video reads, in part:

Dear Asma, Some women care for style and some women care for their people. Some women struggle for their image and some women struggle for their survival. Some women have forgotten what they preached about peace and some women can only pray for their dead. Hundreds of Syrian children have already been killed or injured. One day, our children will ask us what we have done to stop this bloodshed. What will your answer be, Asma? That you, Asma had no choice? Every single child had a name and a family. Their lives will never be the same again.Asma, when you kiss your own children goodnight, another mother will find the place next to her empty. These children could all be your children.They are your children. Stand up for peace, Asma. Speak out now. Stop being a bystander. No one cares about your image. We care about your action. Right now.” Lady Lyall Grant, has been a diplomat since 1980. Her most recent post was Head of VIP Visits at the Protocol Directorate in the heart of government, Whitehall. Clearly her induction course in protocol did not include instructions on how to address the wife of a Head of State. Incidentally, Sir Mark apparently cares as little about the UN as he did Iraq. Asked at the Inquiry about the current role of UN in Iraq, he replied that they were no longer there, after the bombing of their building in, he hesitated, then: “ 2005, was it?”

The bombing of the Canal Hotel, which killed seventeen, including the Head of Mission, Sergio de Mello, and injured scores, was on 19th August 2003.

Corrected by the Chairman, Sir Mark responded: “2003, was it? I apologise”,apparently as sanguine about his colleagues being blown to bits as in assessing that basic provisions to sustain Iraqi lives were not “absolutely essential.”

Now, for Syria, in a crisis so clearly manipulated from without, as Kofi Annan ratchets up the number of “UN Observers” from ten to three hundred – surely as Iraq, many will be meddlers, spies and worse, Sheila Lyall Grant writes: “One day, our children will ask us what we have done to stop this bloodshed.” Every child: “had a family and a name.”

The child victims of Afghanistan, decimated by the invasion also had names –but the Taliban was blamed. As did their small counterparts in Iraq since that illegal takeover, the 4,5 million orphans, 600.000 of whom live on the streets, are still somehow the fault of Saddam Hussein - and their traumatized little global siblings in Libya are still somehow the fault of Colonel Qaddafi, who brought the country the best welfare and highest living standard in Africa.

Perhaps the diplomatic duo have not noticed that Syria, generous host country to two million Iraqis, fleeing their “liberation” now have their own nationals fleeing in fear, over the border to Jordan, Syrians now joining the near similar number of Iraqis there, now refugees themselves. Iraqis in Syrian have no where to run.

The ladies have seemingly also missed the media coverage of senior, experienced Al Jazeera journalists, who have walked away from their livelihood in protest and disgust at the media distortion and manipulation of Syria’s plight, the portrayal, of course, that it all blame lies with President al Assad.

Further, “Peace Envoy” Kofi Annan has already let slip that both he and the“truce monitors”: “should help pave the way for much needed political process”,presumably he means with those insurgents with foreign passports. Read: “Regime change.”

And no planned destruction, overthrow and general catastrophe would be complete without hidden weaponry and hardware with which the leader “oppresses his own people.” Syria, say - as ever - unnamed “activists” is hiding tanks and weapons in government compounds.

The media faithfully repeats the mantra. None seem to have mentioned that one of the “Peace Envoy’s” stipulations, to which Bashir al Assad agreed, was to take tanks and weapons off the streets. Where rebel violence is such that government troops are not forced to respond, they have been withdrawn - back to government compounds. Mr Annan, seemingly has not thought to point this out.

China’s Ambassador, Li Baodong seems to be watching more closely than most. He expressed the hope that: “the Supervision Mission will fully respect Syria’s sovereignty and dignity, act in strict accordance with the authorization of the Security Council, adhere to the principles of neutrality and impartiality ...”(vi.) Quite.

If Lady Lyall Grant cares about children, which could equally be “her”children, she should ponder on, and tell her humanity-deficient husband of just one, which represents the trauma of every child, in every street, in every country targeted by an unholy Western alliance – and the UN.

It is an Iraqi boy of about five, in an orphanage, asleep. He has drawn a huge picture, depicting his mother, on the floor, her arms outstretched. He is curled up on it. Every night he goes to sleep the same way, on the floor, between her arms.

Well past time for the powerful to grow the hell up.Those children could be your children,

Palestine.... A Moment of Reflection

To Save Palestine is to Save the World

Nahida the exiled Palestinian

 I often pondered as to why the name Holy Land was given to Palestine?

What is it about this land that justifies or legitimizes such a description when in fact that land, through myriad of foreign invasions has witnessed some of the cruelest, most barbaric, most unholy, most immoral human behaviour?

 My latest visit to my Home-Land Palestine was a heartrending experience with shocking reality; a roller-coaster, a volcano of paradoxical emotions, an extraordinary visual and sensual intensive course, with daily, if not hourly, spiritual lessons.

While the visit itself did not last more than ten days, I however travelled through time, standing on the terrace of my grandparents, I saw what was, what is and what could be.

 As I stood on that old terrace of my grandfather's house in Beit Iksa, facing the remains of the village of Lifta on one side and the construction of the Jewish colony Givat Shaul with its hideous buildings and eery cemetery on the other, what I saw was indescribable: a vivid screen shot of two extremes of human existence and endeavour, a visual manifestation of a bizarre reality of two paradoxical worlds narrating the tragedy of what had happened and is still happening to Palestine and the world:

 In the horizon, there before my eyes, written the truth in plain indisputable language.

 With poignant Lifta on my left I saw the past: organic, natural, native, rooted, sustainable, gentle, green, alive, flowing, timeless, tender, harmonious, modest, and exquisitely beautiful.

With Givat Shaul on my right I saw the present, violently constructed on the ruins of massacred Deir Yassin by the Jewish-Zionist occupiers; artificial, implanted, pompous, forced, disconnected, rootless, harsh, malignant, cancerous, dead, offensive, aggressive, predatory, foreign, ruthless, and hideous beyond words.

On the terrace of my grandfather's I saw a Civilization that lived by fostering life VS a Devilization that can only exist by destroying life.

 On the terrace of my grandfather I saw a culture of Life being momentarily oppressed by a culture of Death.

On the terrace of my grandfather I understood that for us Palestinians if we are to make it into the future, all we need to do is to vehemently reject the poisonous glitter of the occupiers with all its multifaceted deception: where slavery is sugar-coated with slogans as "modern banking systems", "global trade", "free loans", "buy now pay later" and "economical growth".

On the terrace of my grandfather I understood that whatever we do we must vehemently oppose any attempt that aims to lure us to "learn" from or mimic the occupier in any shape or form:

Not in the way they run their society, where the selfish concept of "I" and "my interest" are promoted and admired while the foundation of civil human interaction and the altruistic concepts of "we" and the "communal interest" are frowned upon, despised and discouraged as irrelevant backwardness;

 Not in the way they conduct business by the use of usury enriching the rich few and impoverishing the masses of poor;

Not in the way they use aggressive agriculture, under the veil of "increasing productivity" they kill the land with chemicals and over-irrigation and destroy the future with GMO sterile seedless uncontrollable crops, they farm animals in most cruel conditions. Under the veil of modernity they inject seeds of death and un-sustainability, bleeding the land dry of its richness and natural resources;

 Not in the way they model their pyramidic hierarchical systems of which millions who languish at the bottom are crushed by a handful who climb to the top.

Not in the way they build colonies brutally carving out the heart of our beautiful landscape, savagely slicing through our precious hills and butchering our millennia-old meadows and mountains only to replace it with prison boxes and creepy tombstones.

On the terrace of my grandfather I saw that a culture of death by its very nature is not sustainable, and cannot possibly survive let alone give birth to life.

On the terrace of my grandfather I saw the manifestation of an exemplary, sustainable, organic, cohesive, open and hospitable civilization, a World Heritage that learned how to peacefully and lovingly coexist and thrive with its neighbours, surroundings and environment.

On the terrace of my grandfather, I understood why and how a land can become Holy and where did the sanctity of this cherished Land emerged.

On the terrace of my grandfather I saw the hands of thousands upon thousands of men women and children tenderly attending the land, lovingly removing the stones from its farms and pathways, where in return I saw the stones write poetry of love and thankfulness with its poppies, daisies and bluebells.

 On the terrace of my grandfather, I saw the attentive hearts of my people singing melodies of affection and adoration as they tenderly depicted their poetic verses in sublime harmony with their environment. Their little hand-picked stones thoughtfully arranged, perfectly in tune with the landscape around. Sensitively, compassionately and to the best of human endeavour, mimicking in fine details the Divine-artwork, without causing injury or harm to whatever lays in the way. Out of stones, rocks, flowers and trees they have created a timeless panorama of breathtaking beauty.

On the terrace of my grandfather, I saw the hands of generations of my ancestors patiently caressing its sleepy hills and artistically painting the landscape with the brush of pure love, swathing it with Holiness and Sacredness, preserving its Divine-given authenticity and protecting life that dwells on it.

On the terrace of my grandfather I saw breathing homes with flowery grassy roofs, I saw homes with eyes, homes with hearts, homes that smile and weep, homes that rejoice meeting her loved ones and mourns those whom she lost.

On the terrace of my grandfather I saw homes that welcome its dwellers with hugs and kisses and puts its children to sleep by tales of love, magical bedtime stories and singing prophetic lullabies.

 

On the terrace of my grandfather, I finally understood the meaning of the name Holy Land, Blessed Land, Sacred Land and why that name was bestowed on our Palestine.

On the terrace of my grandfather, I saw Love of Life, Love of Land and Love of Humanity beautifully and supremely intertwined with spirituality, religiously protecting all what is around, thus creating a Holy Land, with excruciating beauty and dazzling glory, a Sacred Landscape, a Majestic Prayer and a Soul-Capturing Sanctuary with infinite charm and mesmerizing grace.

On the terrace of my grandfather, I saw how is it possible for humanity to be saved, to survive and thrive by saving and following the example of Palestine.

On the terrace of my grandfather I understood that the day of their demise is a stone throw away and the day of our Liberation is not far anymore.

On the terrace of my grandfather I realised that stopping and reversing the destruction of this land, and its inevitable Full Liberation, is not only necessary and urgent from the standpoint of Justice. Palestine is far more.

 Palestine and its ominously peaceful and sustainable model is NOT a mere nostalgic ideal, but the most perfect source of inspiration and blueprint to design a futuristic, yet solidly rooted and time tested society, in which human interaction, environmental intervention, timeless architecture, agriculture, ethical commercial exchange and spiritual quest are the peak of human achievement. They are not incompatible with contemporary technology and population growth, they are the safeguards and KEY to a sustainable, peaceful and brighter future.

Whether some like it or not, in order to rescue this Sacred World Heritage, it will need a difficult surgery: the removal of the invading death culture that has shown its colossal failure to integrate the Land and its People.

Beauty and Humanity shall prevail.

I warmly invite the world along with my fellow Palestinians to rediscover and embrace our Palestinian culture of Life following the flowering footsteps of the Prophets of this Holy Land, Palestine.

Enemies Within the Gate – Police Corruption – Infiltration & Subversion – Trade Not Aid

Preface – Below you will read of DC Paul Harry of the Swansea Police, the man who falsely arrested me on November 2, 2011. This statement is being sent directly to him, as well as his immediate superior, Detective Inspector Darren George, Professional Standards of Swansea Police, the Independent Police Complaints Commission and of course many others in the independent media realm and law.

Infiltration & the Erosion of Trust

There is something admirable about an honest enemy; I rather respect people who at the least state very clearly who they are and what they stand for. Even if their views are morally repugnant, I still maintain a level of respect for the honest yet offensive opponent. The liar on the other hand, that is a different matter. The liar might be and often is the “nicest person you could ever want to know”, but an honest jerk is much better in my book than a lying “friend”, or as it is in my case, lying “volunteers”.

In my view the liar, fraudster, infiltrator and collaborator is the most vile of them all… and make no mistake, they are everywhere in this so-called “movement” of ours.

‘They show how Special Branch penetrated the (anti-Apartheid) movement from top to bottom, infiltrating meetings, recruiting informers and obtaining documents. Officers snooped on leaders including MPs, two of whom are now Labour ministers. Police spies slipped into meetings of local groups which were attended by as few as five genuine campaigners.’ – The Guardian (‘Documents show how Special Branch infiltrated Anti-Apartheid Movement’)

One of the most insidious aspects of infiltration is the erosion of trust. Think of it this way, how can a “movement” get meaningful work done when the people who comprise it and the leaders leading it cannot trust each other? The answer of course is work becomes difficult at best, and such our movement for a better world, all too often stumbling along with one setback after another. It is like this that the end goal of the powers that be is maintained, and that is the status quo of course.

And so it is that an activist leader like myself invariably will have more personal contact with devils posing as friends/volunteers then most can imagine, this is the nature of the game. I know this so very well, I understand how infiltration works, but with limited resources and big goals you have to be able to trust, and if you can’t, you really need to get out of activism. And in all honesty, I am probably more valuable in other ways. But I am not a quitter, I like to finish what I start, and I remain fully capable of trust, my faith in humanity will not be destroyed, absolutely not, I know far too many beautiful people. And for sure, the Samouni Project and the Trade Not Aid Mission must and will move forward.

But my purpose in this statement is to shed light on what has happened with the Trade Not Aid Mission so as to enlighten people in the tactical use of infiltration and subversion, a tactic I consider the most effective tool for the powers that be to quell the progress of virtually every social movement. But before we get into that…

The Head of the Snake

Let us start at the root level; let us address the “Head of the Snake” as it were. Let us understand the so-called financial system. The financial system denotes a system run by a tiny minority of the individuals who are undoubtedly the greatest fraudsters and financial terrorists in human existence. They have managed through treasonous “public servants” to acquire the ability to ‘legally’ print fiat money, to print money out of thin air. Furthermore, since their money is inherently debt generating, we all, the people, the 99%, we become enslave by debt. Entire nations are in debt, the vast majority of people are in debt, and we are in debt to the richest of the rich, the greatest fraudsters and thieves to ever walk this planet. Think about that next time the prostitutes of propaganda talk about “the debt”, because it is that debt which essentially says all the working class people have not worked hard enough, no, no, we all owe the Rothschilds and their ilk more money, trillions and trillions to be more precise. They are in the most incredible way mocking us. And in a way I respect them, I mean, if we the masses are so incredibly stupid as to allow this tiny minority to get away with it, I reckon we are more pathetic then them. Nonetheless, if there is one priority in the creation of a better world, it is the absolute destruction of this system and justice for those who have conspired to protect and maintain it.

“Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes her laws.” - Mayer Amschel Rothschild

Private control of the money supply is ultimate Earthly power, and it is that kind of power the bankster families have wielded for centuries, with devastating affects. All we need to know about the corruption and endless war humanity has been locked within can be understood by understanding this simple, fraudulent system. The ‘Money Masters’ are behind almost every war you can cite, usually investing in all sides. Their scam inherently encourages and manipulates never-ending wars, while providing the added benefit of dividing the people.

It is in this context that we find the most vile, bloodthirsty and sociopathic rising to the highest levels of power, below the Money Masters of course, while people of honour and integrity are punished, imprisoned, framed and often murdered.

Make no mistake, so long as we allow the banksters to continue this madness we the people will be victimised by it. The banksters can outspend the good people of the world a billion to one. For them money is not even paper, it is zeros added to bank accounts from the offices of Goldman Sachs and Barclays and all the rest of them. This system buys every last person that can be bought, so when you look at the top of the pyramids in politics, media, corporations, law enforcement, intelligence services, and yes, even within charities and social movements, eventually this system co-opts and corrupts every thing that can be corrupted.

Wolf in Sheep's clothing

This is the method for achieving controlled opposition, it wears the face of the sheep, but behind its mask it is indeed the wolf.

“The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.” - Vladimir Lenin

If you fail to understand this reality, you will have no clue at all of how the world truly functions. It is the ignorance of this reality that preserves its existence and maintains the tyranny that threatens to climax in the form of full scale World War III and nuclear Armageddon. Simply put, the stakes could not be any higher.

Support for Palestine = Contempt from the Powers That Be

Now if you want to effect justice in this world, especially in Palestine, and you are making any real progress in this area, you better be prepared for what will come. I have prepared myself as best one can for any consequence.

In order to repel the temptation of the honey trap or material wealth you will need to be beyond the pursuit of material wealth. Such people, those who is not addicted to material pleasures, they simply cannot be bought. I am such a person, I actually want the entire system abolished so that everyone will have what they need, I will not fight for the crumbs that the banksters and their minions brush of their parasitical dining table. By western standards and with this mentality I am in financial terms a poor man, but in real terms I am blessed with riches that money can never buy.

I believe this is why the powers that be have not tried to buy me; they have done their personality profile and concluded that I am indeed one of those who cannot be bought. When you see me driving a flash car and/or reversing myself of who is responsible for 911, this will be your first clue I have been corrupted. But don’t hold your breath, I intend to die with my integrity intact and even if I am effectively framed for a crime I did not commit, the truth remains in the all knowing wisdom of the universe and if I am to face my maker I will have nothing whatsoever to fear. I am not alone in this way of thinking, far from it, and it is such people that are impossible to control.

I know the game, and I shall deal with it and face it with the most powerful weapon of all, the truth.

Although my life did not begin on the Mavi Maramara, the humanitarian ship attacked in international waters by Israeli pirates in which 9 good people were murdered/executed, it was the aftermath of my role on the Mavi Maramara where my position as a first class enemy of the powers that be was cemented. It was from that time on that the tactic of slander was increasingly employed against me.

Slander & the ‘Terrorist’ Tag

In the aftermath of the Mavi Marmara and upon my release from Israeli jail and subsequent deportation to Turkey, the Israeli Defence (Offence) Forces issued a press release stating that I was an ‘operative of the Hamas Terror organization’ and that I was going to Gaza ‘in order to form and train a commando unit for the Palestinian terror organization’. Well you know you hit the big time as a humanitarian in this Orwellian world of ours when the greatest terrorists on the planet are calling you a terrorist. I am proud to share the company of the Founding Fathers of the United States, Nelson Mandela and countless others falsely labelled as terrorists simply because we refused to bow to tyranny and suckle from the tit of corruption.

In 2011 the honour was elevated when Rep. Gus Bilirakis of the United States Congress introduced a bill that links me to ‘Al Qaeda’. As Mayer Amshel Rothschild so arrogantly but all too rightly implied, the lawmakers are nothing more than minions. What more incredible display of that do we have then the last speech of Netanyahu at the United States Congress in which he received no less than 29 standing ovations.

Enemy Within the Gates
If ever there were an example of a “democratic” nation bending over, grabbing its heels, and taking it where the sun don’t shine it is in the spectacle of my birth nation, the good ole US of A, in full blown self-destruct mode. These bootlicking Chickenhawks in the US Congress mock every red-blooded American Patriot, it is way beyond embarrassment, it is treason that spans decades and which is on hyper display today. It is infiltration in full bloom; it is the enemy within the gate.

“If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” – Samuel Adams

The US Congress epitomises the last stages of Empire in decline, awash with decadence, exuding corruption, detached from reality and drunk on its own fraud-based power. It is the perfect display of what powers the Money Masters have over those who lust for money. If it can have this affect on people in such high levels, what affect can the powers that be have on the street criminal?

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.” – Marcus Tullius Cicero

The UK government is no different from the US Congress, they are just a little bit more experienced and thus know a thing or two about how to avoid being seen as bought and paid for. While the idiot Yanks in Congress are on full display with their obsequiousness, the British/European political counterparts get to play the “civilized” role. And in terms of real power, London houses more high-level fraudsters and thieves and terrorists than any city on planet Earth. And the UK Parliament is a direct extension of this power gone mad, all the while looking oh so ‘civilised’.

“All the world’s a stage,” – William Shakespeare

And below them we have the various branches of government and all too importantly, the physical arms of the powers that be in the so-called “intelligence” services, the military and the police.

“My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of the higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military.” – Smedley Butler

Who Rises to the Top?

So we have the bankster families (powers that be) at the top of the pyramid, and these powers seek out and reward people with very specific qualities, the best of which will occupy the top levels of every institution that serves them. Regardless of the actual position, the essential quality sought by the powers that be for their legions of minions is a lust for money and power, for material wealth, often times fueled by sexual desires and perversions. These are the hallmarks of a person with a low level development, like so-called “primitive man”, these lot are motivated by food and sex. Today that manifests in the form of money and power. If you want the true qualifications for “stature” and “fame” and so on in this collectively insane world that is run by psycho/sociopaths, these base qualities are it.

So when we look at the world and all our so-called “leaders” what we will see is a large collection of hand selected sociopaths charged with maintaining the system. Morals and integrity are repugnant in such a system, although you always have some groomed actors who play the integrity role when needed. Colin Powell’s UN speech that sold the invasion of Iraq to the easily duped is a classic example.

Stupid is as Stupid Does

Almost all of these people have been thoroughly brain washed in so-called “higher learning” institutions, indeed the dumbest of the dumb are graduates of Harvard and Yale and Oxford and Cambridge. It is among these useful idiots that you find and endless supply of ‘experts’ who can educate us dumb masses about Saddam’s WMD threat and how 19 “Jihadist” hijackers armed with box cutters, lead by a man with Cocaine residue probably in his nose, possibly with a hangover, who just left the strip bar in Florida, after having sex with his stripper girlfriend, were all in turn lead by a man in a cave in Afghanistan who together managed to disable all of the mighty super powers air defences and defy the laws of physics and pull off 9-11.

It is like a bad B-movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger, surely it is all one sick joke, but no, we are supposed to believe this fairy story.

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity, and the champions in this area are the ones rewarded by the powers that be. Don’t get me wrong, these minions can read teleprompters, many have great memories, they can articulate, they can not answer a question a million different ways and make the most simple reality a quantum physics exam.

So for sure, never, ever, lose your sense of humour. Look at this world like a reality TV show and the people are all trying to one up each other on the bullshit meter. If you do take it a little too seriously you might just seek out 18 buddies and a set of box cutters so as to vent your rage and pull a 9-11.

All this madness explains a lot about my very independent way about doing things. I simply have not found a group that I feel really right with, so I initiate my own missions, always unique, always intending to fill the void. But such goals require us to work with each other, there is clearly no other way to effect real and positive change. Thus I seek to connect with genuine people for genuine good, but humans can be incredible liars, and trusting people make for easy targets.

The Role of the Police & Intelligence Agencies

When I was last in the stolen nation of Hawaii, otherwise known (incorrectly) as the 50th State of the United States, a Special Agent of the FBI at my door, so I invited him into my mother’s home and we sat and talked for two hours or so. I did as I always do, I spoke politely and respectfully and completely honestly to this man; one of the luxuries of having no fear and nothing to hide. Furthermore, I looked at this man and I saw myself not too long ago. As a 19 year-old US Marine I believed there was honour and integrity inherently within the Marines, I was an idiot. And I was far to naïve to realise the direct contradiction in attempting to maintain personal honour while in reality serving a system of tyranny.

Nonetheless I refuse to paint all police and all military or FBI Agents with one brush, we must make distinctions between those on the ground, and those at the top. Of course you have gross corruption and violence and abuse of power at the lower levels, but many in the police and other such positions do have honour and when the big move in the last throngs of power is made by the powers that be, the ones with honour in the police and in the military will stand up. Just as they did under dictator puppet Hosni Mubarak in the face of a fearless and unrelenting Egyptian public.

Recruiting Informants/Infiltrators

Nonetheless, there is obvious and hideous corruption within the police and their systemic policies that do grave harm to society. One such trait is the use of informants and infiltrators. This is the realm of the professional liar; this is where the professional fraudster lands himself or herself the ultimate job. Here is how it works. The police, MI5, MI6, CIA, Mossad, Special Branch or any other such entity, identifies a highly skilled fraudster, but only after having caught them (or framing them if necessary) in some criminal offence that will land them a long holiday in prison. In the US such a person will likely be reminded that “unpopular” inmates can find themselves in a place whereby their heterosexual status will be involuntarily converted to homosexuality via gang rape. There are similar such threats that can be wielded against women.

It is at this point the fraudster/criminal will be “made an offer they can’t refuse.” They are given two options however;

1. A long, torturous and possibly terminal prison term.

2. Regular pay in their chosen profession (fraud), as well as police, judicial, media and government protection, in return all they have to do is some work in infiltration. Their pay and protection being contingent upon befriending people under false pretenses, providing inside information and possibly subverting social causes, sabotaging or even framing innocent people. People like me for instance.

So it is, prison and gang rape or money and protection. In this way, with virtually infinite cash and resources behind them, the powers that be have infiltrated practically every level of society, especially the “problem” sections of society such as the black community, immigrants, Asians and for sure, Muslims and Arabs. And without question, every social movement has swarms of these characters I am describing above, two-bit fraudster sociopaths with the uncommon ability to lie and the servile lust for material gain… or outright fear of the alternative. These criminals who used to fear the police now have them as backup.

‘At the centre of the latest controversy is a set of documents, obtained by the Guardian and the BBC’s Newsnight, indicating that another police spy, Jim Boyling, who lived undercover among the environmental group Reclaim the Streets, concealed his identity in a criminal trial, giving false evidence under oath about his real name.

‘The accusation that police deliberately subverted the judicial process, and at worst sanctioned perjury, prompted outrage among lawyers and parts of the judiciary and led to the last-minute postponement of a major report into undercover policing of protests by the newly appointed commissioner of the Metropolitan police, Bernard Hogan-Howe.’ – The Guardian (Met facing mounting crisis as activist spying operation unravels)

This Guardian article goes further to say;

‘All seven spies shared similar modi operandi: they appeared out of nowhere, often had access to vehicles and showed an unflinching willingness to help run the logistics of protest organisation. Unlike undercover officers who penetrate serious criminal gangs, typically for no more than a few weeks or months, agents deployed in protest organisations are authorised to spend years living double lives as campaigners.’

Although the above description is not perfect, it does so closely resemble the primary infilTRAITOR of my Trade Not Aid Mission, one Catherine Myles to be specific.

Hijacking of the Trade Not Aid Mission & Police Protection for the Hijackers

Catherine Myles

What has happened to me is I have made the grave mistake of trusting people who are all too likely assets for Special Branch. Proving this is almost impossible however, but certain types of behavior go a long way to exposing the person and their true agenda. Put simply, Catherine Myles has managed to steal, blackmail, commit fraud and pervert the course of justice right under the nose of so-called “law enforcement”.

Let me make this crystal clear, she has blatantly, provably, committed the crime of fraud, theft, blackmail and perverting the course of justice, and not a peep from the police.

“Well come on Mr. O’Keefe, give that proof to the police and they will do as the law requires!” And this is what the mind controlled person will assume, there is no part of the their programming that would allow for them believe the police and criminals are all too often one and the same.

Nonetheless I have supplied the police with all the proof required to establish that the crimes of Ms. Myles. What did the police do when I supplied this evidence to them? Well they arrested me of course… for “fraud” no less. “Fraud by False Representation” to be precise, and they did this on November 2, 2011.

Perverting the Course of Justice

The accusation used to justify my arrest is pure comedy. The claim was that I had lied to Catherine Myles, Jez Cuthbert and Cath Jenkins by saying I was the head of a “charity”, and on that basis I solicited their help in getting donations for my “charity”. Only later did they “realise” that I was in fact the Managing Director of a company, and that is when they realised they had been defrauded. They thought, so goes their fairytale, that I was the head of a “charity”, not a company, God forbid. And it was this testimony and nothing more from Catherine Myles, Jez Cuthbert and Cath Jenkins that was used to arrest me. 3 people, just 3 fraudsters, were all that it took to arrest me. Next time I will expect at least 10 such criminals. With this the police stole (seized) 9 of my hard drives, two computers, one camera, my mobile phone, and reams of documents and most perverse of all, my DNA, which was taken against my expressed will of course.

Here is the problem with this action; I had already provided verifiable and conclusive evidence to the police, all recorded of course, that Catherine Myles was;

1. A fraudster who had lied to the police on several levels.
2. A blackmailer who threatened a material witness of mine about her having stolen the vehicles of the Trade Not Aid Mission. Again all verifiable, with the witness providing a written statement and volunteering her testimony with electronic communications proving the blackmail as well. That witness was never interviewed.
3. A thief who had knowingly stolen two vehicles, a truckload of donated goods and somewhere in the area of £15,000 that were deposited directly into her account as the “accountant” for the Trade Not Aid Mission.
4. A pervert… well that to I imagine but actually that she had perverted the course of justice as well by knowingly giving false testimony to the police which directly resulted in my arrest.

So let’s get this straight, Catherine Myles was provably been shown to commit 4 serious crimes, the last of which is punishable with a life sentence, and rather than her facing justice, I was arrested for what is a patently absurd accusation of fraud by false representation. What does this tell us? Well we can conclude one of two possibilities.

1. Either the investigating officer, the man who ultimately arrested me, DC Paul Harry of the Swansea Police, is the most thick, stupid, bumbling idiot of a cop who would give Mr. Bean a run for his money in the idiot department. Or…
2. This minion was charged with protecting the infiltrators, denying me the return of the stolen property, arresting me (but not charging me) so as to put a cloud of doubt over my head and drag out this disruption for as long as possible.

Although DC Paul Harry is clearly a very stupid man, that is not the explanation for what he has done. Clearly it is number 2 above that is his remit.

How can I make this charge? Surely I am waving the red flag in front of the bull on this one. Indeed I am and I say to the powers that be and their servile minions in the police and otherwise, bring it the fuck on. As I have said, I will die with my integrity intact and nothing makes me stronger than injustice and having to deal with bullies and abusers of power. I did not ask for this battle, but it has been brought upon me.

Here is the absolute proof that Catherine Myles and DC Paul Harry and his entire department have perverted the course of justice, a crime let us remember, that is punishable by up to life imprisonment. Let me quote directly from a UK Government website just what is perverting the course of justice.

Perverting the course of Justice

The offence is committed where a person:
• does an act (a positive act or series of acts is required; mere inaction is insufficient)
• which has a tendency to pervert and
• which is intended to pervert
• the course of public justice.

All that is necessary is proof of knowledge of all the circumstances, and the intentional doing of an act which has a tendency, when objectively viewed, to pervert the course of justice.

A false allegation which risks the arrest or wrongful conviction of an innocent person is enough.

Extracts taken from the UK Crown Prosecution Government website

To summarise, if someone has knowingly told a lie to the police and the person they lie about might POSSIBLY be arrested, much less does get arrested, is perverting the course of justice.
Here is the proof that Catherine Myles has committed this crime and that the police know this to be true? This is taken directly from Catherine Myles own blog.

Catherine Myles - Guilty of 'Perverting the Course of Justice'

So what we have above has already been verified by several Trade Not Aid convoy members who also read this blog, it is undeniable, and it is 100% prove of a serious crime. But there is something extremely important to acknowledge here, by the police refusing to even acknowledge this evidence, much less arrest and charge Catherine Myles, they are proving beyond any doubt that the police themselves are perverting the course of justice.

It is not often we have such concrete proof of serious criminal behavior with police involvement. It is not that the police do not do this sort of thing often, they do, but to have proof like this is a bit of a gift really, I am ready for them to make their move, this is my move. Ah but it gets even better.

‘Fraud by False Representation’ by Catherine Myles

What if I had proof that Catherine Myles was guilty of ‘fraud by false representation’? Remember that one? The thing I was arrested for on November 2, 2011. Surely it is not possible that the person whose testimony was used to justify my arrest was in fact provably guilty of that very crime. Well it is possible, and here is the proof.

 

Catherine Myles Committing 'Fraud by False Representation'

What you see above is Catherine Myles soliciting funds for a “charity”, which is exactly what she accused me of doing, but of course I do not have a charity. Thing is that ‘Palestine Aid’, the “charity” she seeks money for, is not now and never has been a charity.

So when it came to me, 3 fraudsters said I said I had a charity and I was arrested and my property stolen as well as my DNA being taken against my will. When proof that Catherine Myles actually committed this crime, what happens? NOTHING!

Police Aiding & Abetting in the Theft of Trade Not Aid Vehicles, Donated Goods & Money

Stolen Trade Not Aid Vehicles

Moving on, in August of last year I made a complaint to the police about the Trade Not Aid vehicles (18-ton Renault Truck Reg. #V97 DBA & Optare Metrorider Minibus Reg. # P420 VRG) being stolen by Catherine Myles, Jez Cuthbert, Cath Jenkins and Saeb Shaath. All communications and evidence required to establish lawful ownership of these vehicles was of course provided to DC Paul Harry. Once again, here is the correspondence that proves this claim.

As a cover to avoid returning the clearly stolen property DC Harry arrested me on the bogus fraud charges on November 2, 2011. His superiors also directed him to drag out the investigation as long as possible so a date of April 2, 2012 (5 months later) was set to either bring charges against me (which was never going to happen) or conclude ‘no further action’. Well I waited these sickeningly long five months, thinking that at the end of these five months surely they will be forced to return the stolen vehicles. Well I was wrong.

Immediately upon my solicitor being told there would be no further action against me (March 30, 2012) he acted in accord with my direction, which was to demand recovery of the stolen vehicles and property. I always knew I would have to go to court to prove Catherine Myles has stolen somewhere in the area of £15,000, but the vehicles and donated goods onboard I thought surely must be returned. On their first conversation it looked like that was what DC Harry was going to do, even saying, “Mr. O’Keefe will need an HGV (Heavy Goods Vehicle) licensed driver” for the 18-ton truck. The next day however he did a Jekyll & Hyde routine, not only was he not returning the vehicles, he would not even answer where the vehicles were or even if the “investigation” I had initiated 8 months earlier was still in progress.

Canon Fodder

He also revealed in coded language that this decision had come from above, as if I did not already know this. There is no doubt that DC Harry is just a willing dupe, and he like other such dupes will be hung out to dry by his bosses when he has exceeded his shelf life. I know this as an ex-Marine as well, and countless veterans know what I am talking about, including my dead father. Countless so-called “heroes” are left to languish with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), cancers and birth defects and other maladies caused by exposure to experimental drugs and toxins like depleted uranium (DU). Many will commit suicide or beat their wives and children or end up homeless with not one bit of help from the governments who sent them to kill or be killed.

Understanding this I feel pity for DC Harry, he is a small-minded man being used up by a system that is a voracious and rapacious exploiter of ‘human resources’. If the world does change for the better, and I believe it will, the DC Harry’s of the world simply will not exist.

In Summary

There is so much more I could say about Catherine Myles, Saeb Shaath, and the rest of the people who have worked for and nearly achieved the goal of destroying the Trade Not Aid Mission. Indeed right now, today, the vehicles that Catherine Myles stole from the Trade Not Aid Mission, remain in her possession. As I have previously mentioned she also holds stolen donated goods and somewhere in the neighborhood of £15,000 of stolen money from the Trade Not Aid Mission, all of this being dutifully protected by the UK Police.

So my priority at this moment is getting back the vehicles and donated goods. My problem is that with the police protecting this fraudster, my only weapon is the truth. While the police remain un-exposed they remain capable of aiding and abetting in the crime of fraud, theft and perverting the course of justice.

As you will recall on March 30, 2012 I was informed that the police would be taking “no further action” with regard to the investigation into me. Surprise surprise. So after five months of depriving me of my property, having access to everything I have ever written, emailed, videoed, every file on my hard drives, “no further action”. I tell you what, and I apologise to the easily offended and my Muslim brothers and sisters, but given this reality I want to express my honest thoughts to the police involved in violating me and my family as they have. GO FUCK YOURSELF! That goes to you DC Paul Harry and also to all the minions and the powers that be that have done what they could to defame me and harm my mission for Palestine.

Who Pays?

Let us be clear, I am not the victim hear, I will never be the victim as I will never sacrifice my self-respect. The real victim is the good people of Palestine who have languished while our corrupt governments have provided material support, including weapons of mass destruction, preferential trade, billions in “aid”, and total cover for all the hideous crimes Israel commits against the Palestinians. And let this be clear, even though some collaborators of Palestinian blood who will be employed to try and defame me, I am a Palestinian. My heart and my commitment are to a Free Palestine. The way of Palestine is the way of the world. If I ever back peddle on that, then you know I have been compromised.

FOR THE RECORD – I see the so-called ‘two-state solution’ as the second Nakba, I see it as totally unjust and I hope the Palestinians never accept such an unjust deal. Although I fully accept that this is 100% up to the people of Palestine. I am a Palestinian citizen however and if I am allowed to vote on such a decision you will know where I stand. I want justice plain and simple, and justice requires;

1. 100% full right of return of all the Palestinian refugees spread around the globe.
2. That every single Palestinian prisoner in Israeli jails is freed. And I mean every single one.
3. That every single person who can provide valid proof, whether it is land deeds or titles to land, pictures of them on that land, testimony that this was their home, they must be able to re-occupy and possess that which was stolen from them.
4. Full and complete compensation for the loss of life and property.
5. That the entire Apartheid system of Israel is dismantled and a system chosen by all the rightful citizens of Palestine replaces it with a government of their own choosing. Whatever form that may be.

These are just some of the prerequisites for justice in Palestine, but right now, I redouble my efforts for real support in the Trade Not Aid Mission. The only thing stopping this mission is not the police, or the governments nor the powers that be, it is us, it truly is up to us. We must simply never give up.

Power to the people, rise the hell up, 2012 is the year.
