Chilcot Report on Iraq War: Whitewashes Jewish Lobby



On July 6, UK’s five-member panel headed by Sir John Chilcot admitted after seven years what most political-aware people knew by the end of 2003 that former prime minister Tony Blair’s joined American invasion of Iraq in 2003 on Purim night which was totally wrong as Saddam Hussein didn’t possessed WMDs or threatened to invade United Kingdom.
Tony Blair who made tens of millions of dollars after the Iraq War, was rewarded by heading several international forums and lately appointed by Europe’s Organized Jewry to fight anti-Semitism in Europe has refused to show remorse for killing over one million Iraqi civilians. He insists that he did it to save Brits from their own 9/11.
Tony Blair had always insisted that the on-going bloodshed in Iraq had nothing to do with US-UK invasion of the country, and that it was making of Arabs themselves. British veteran reporter and author Alan Hart wrote in January 2010:
Former Prime Minister Tony Blair’s testimony before the Chilcot inquiry into the 2003 Iraq war marks him down once more as a war criminal. His testimony made clear that he collaborated in preparing an illegal war of aggression, in line with the policy of pre-emptive war elaborated by the Bush administration in the United States (here).”
The Chilcot report’s while accused Tony Blair and UK’s military brass, ignored the major part played by the country’s powerful Jewish Lobby and the Zionist regime to push Britain into Iraq War based on lies cooked-up by Israel’s intelligence agencies (here). In 2003 some intelligence experts insisted that the Iraq’s WMD dossier was initially produced in Tel Aviv and only ‘sexed up’ in London.
The Jewish criminals behind Tony Blair’s Middle East policy were billionaire Lord Michael Levy, Peter Henry Goldsmith, Blair’s Attorney General, and Israel’s main propaganda outlet Jewish Chronicle’s David Aaronovitch and Nick Cohen. In addition to that, two members of the Chilcot inquiry, Sir Martin Gilbert (met Lucifer in course of inquiry), and Sir Lawrence Freedman are Israel-First Zionist Jews filled with hatred toward Muslims. Baroness Usha Kumari Parashar, a third member of inquiry, doesn’t care how many Iraqis died as long as they’re not Hindus. Same could be said about the fourth member, Sir Jeremy Greenstock, and Sir Roderic Lyne, the vice-president of Chatham House, an Israeli advocacy think tank.
They’re all handpicked by Crypto-Jew Gordon Brown.
The Chilcot Report gave the British public what it wanted. It blamed Blair for failing in his responsibilities to them. But the report’s focus on Blair, diplomacy, the military and  intelligence failures concealed the Jewish Lobby that was pulling the strings. Since the Iraq war, the same Jewish Lobby has mounted enormous pressure on western governments, promoting more Zio-centic interventionist wars in Syria, Libya and Iran,” Gilad Atzmon wrote on July 7, 2016.

Downing Street Protest Against Israel, Held Saturday, July 8

Londoners refusing to remain quiet in the face of Israeli war crimes and occupation. The protest is taking place on the second anniversary of the Israeli assault upon Gaza known as “Operation Protective Edge.” The 51-day attack, which began on July 8, 2014, resulted in the deaths of more than 2,100 Palestinians, including 448 children.
In the next video Chris Gunness, of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, discusses the Gaza blockade and its impact on the local population. Why, if Israel’s only concern is security, is the Jewish state imposing a blockade on Gaza exports?

Telling the stories of Gaza's 'obliterated families' caused by israel's 2014 genocidal attack

A new project uses heartbreaking photos, text and video to tell the stories of the Palestinian families who lost more than three members in the 2014 Gaza war, the stories of their lives, their deaths and the survival of those left behind.

There is no shortage of numbers and statistics that are cited in telling, reporting on and remembering periods of war and violence. Often times certain wars come to be represented by numbers. The number of killed, wounded displaced. The number of homes damaged or destroyed. The number of days that the bombs fell, the number of days since they stopped.
It goes without saying that people are not numbers. One innovative and touching writing project in the Gaza Strip, We Are Not Numbers, aims to take those numbers, the way that so much of the world views far-off conflict, and recapture the human narratives they represent.
But photojournalists Anne Paq and Ala Qandil were haunted by one specific number about the 2014 Gaza war. One hundred and forty-two. The 142 families that lost three or more members. Obliterated families.
Photos of 14 killed members of the Abu Amer family are displayed in Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis, November 15, 2014. A total of 16 members of the Abu Amer family were killed on July 29, 2014 in an airstrike that targeted the al-Dali building in Khan Younis. In total, 34 people from five families were killed in the attack. It was the deadliest attack on a residential building in the 2014 Israeli military offensive. (Anne Paq/Activestills.org)

Paq, who as a member of the Activestills photography collective helped cover the 2014 war for +972 Magazine, met some of the families and their survivors before and during the war. In return visits over the past two years, she has met with 50 such families. Together with Qandil and other Palestinian journalists, the pair launched a multimedia web project on Friday, using photos, in-depth text, animations, infographics, short videos, and design elements to tell their stories.
(View the project at obliteratedfamilies.com)
The Kilani family of Beit Lahiya lost 11 members on July 21, 2014. Ibrahim al-Kilani, an architect who lived in Germany for 20 years before moving back to Gaza, was killed along with his wife and five children in the bombing of the Salam residential tower in Gaza City. They had sought shelter there after being told by the Israeli military to leave their own home.
Ibrahim and all five children were German nationals. He is survived by two children from an earlier marriage who still live in Berlin.

They flew their home in Beit Layhia after they saw leftlets launched by the Israely army, urging the residents to go to Gaza city. (Anne Paq / Activestills.org)

They family had fled their home in Beit Layhia after the Israeli military dropped leaflets urging residents to go to Gaza City. (Anne Paq / Activestills.org)

The area of the online project dedicated to the Kilani family powerfully combines photographs, video and text to tell the story of Ibrahim and his family, from tales of childhood games hiding in orchards from Israeli warplanes in the 1960s, to joining his now-adult son, Ramsis, at Palestinian solidarity protests in present day Berlin.
Through the various types of media, the reader is drawn into the story, as emotionally packed image followed by heartbreaking video pushes through the screen in order to attach faces, possessions, and memories to families that might otherwise exist only as a harrowing statistic.
Five families’ stories are being published Friday along with the website itself. The remaining chapters are scheduled to be published over the coming 51 days, corresponding with date of the respective family’s obliteration.
The website is also slated to include factsheets, infographics, and a library section with a photo gallery, a downloadable exhibition, additional interviews, and other features.
The web project was preceded by a short film, “Gaza: A Gaping Wound,” which can be viewed on the site’s homepage.

IRAQIS IN BALAD BLEED AGAIN: NEW ISIS MASSACRE AT HOLY SHRINE AT SALAHUDDINE

Balad massacre

Balad massacre

by Jonathan Azaziah

The blood ain’t dry in Karrada. The pure blood of more than 300 martyrs didn’t even dry yet in Karrada for God’s sake, we’re still counting, identifying and mourning our fallen, and these ISIS maniacs unleash their hellishness on Iraqis once again. This time the target is the shrine of Sayyed Muhammad Ibn Ali al-Hadi, the son of Shi’a Islam’s Tenth Imam (A.S.) and the brother of Shi’a Islam’s Eleventh Imam Hassan al-Askari (A.S.), in the Salahuddine Province town of Balad.

First a suicide bomber blew himself up at the gate of the holy site and then terrorist gunmen opened fire on pilgrims in the midst of celebrating Eid al-Fitr. The martyr count is at least 37 and is expected to rise, as is the wounded count which currently stands at 62. This isn’t the first time Balad has been struck with murderous chaos. Just last May, MossadDaesh shooters opened fire on the Fourat Café, brutally and senselessly slaughtering 14 Iraqi Real Madrid fans gathering to discuss all the latest from the football world. Yesterday a harmless sports event. Today a sanctity. What will be hit tomorrow la sama7 ALLAH (God forbid)? It feels like there is no village, town, city or province in Iraq that doesn’t know bloodshed, heartbreak and trauma.

I’ve said this before, but I’m going to repeat it now as it is severely warranted: He who thinks Ramadan, the Month of Mercy, is actually the Month of Mass Murder, is not Muslim. He who bombs the Mosque of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W.) in Madinah, is not Muslim. He who threatens the Kaaba with destruction–a longstanding geopolitical and “spiritual” objective of International Jewry tied to the 9/11 false flag attack–is not Muslim. He who would detonate explosives in Karbala where Imam Hussein (A.S.) was martyred, the shrine of Lady Zaynab (A.S.) in Damascus and the shrine of Imam al-Hadi’s (A.S.) brother in Balad, is not Muslim. He who drops bombs on Yemen, a land which Rasoulallah (S.A.W.W.) said is blessed for all-time, is not Muslim.

He who brings death to the peaceful as they break their fast and perform Salat in their masjids, is not Muslim.

He who would bomb the Lebanese Christians of Al-Qaa in their churches is not Muslim.
He who harms even a single hair on a child’s head is not Muslim.

He who would eviscerate whole families as they shop for Eid al-Fitr gifts is not Muslim.
He who would commit any such crime, period point-blank, is not Muslim.

Only Muhammad-hating, Christ-hating, Arab-hating, woman-hating, child-hating, anti-Gentile Jewish supremacists and those at their command could perform such heinous acts.
Death to the Wahhabi-Takfiri ideology and the Saudi snake its trail of blood leads back to, but let us not forget who the Balad attack, the Karrada bombing, Iraq’s destruction generally speaking and this sanguinary conflagration of atrocities consuming our region–“Goy” killing “Goy”–benefits most: the usurping Zionist entity.

So stop calling these “chosenite” psychopaths and their tools “Muslims” or “Islamic” or “Jihadi” or anything else related to our Deen. ISIS and other-like similar groups are nothing but mercenary gangs performing services for ‘Israel’, NOT, I repeat again, NOT Muslims. Indeed, the Daeshis are the very antithesis to Islam; the Soldiers of Sufyani; Dajjal’s First Line of Defense; the Takfiri “Goy” Golem. The monsters may think that we’re so far up to our necks in blood that we’re drowning and can’t come up for air but they couldn’t be more wrong. We see. We’re aware. We’re resisting. And when we win–and make no mistake, we will achieve victory–the world will know that Iraq didn’t just defeat terrorism but arguably the most subversive scheme the string-pullers of this terrorism, i.e. Empire Judaica, ever concocted.

We’ve been able to stand up thus far with just a limited but committed and game-changing amount of assistance from Hizbullah and Iran. With the full-fledged support that our brothers in the Syrian Arab Republic are receiving, history could be made.

It’s time for Haidar al-Abadi and his corrupt regime to find their dignity, kick out the American occupiers they answer to, and invite the real friends of the Iraqi people, namely the Lebanese Islamic Resistance and the Islamic Republic–REAL Muslims, mind you–into the fray at maximum capacity so we can finish off this virus permanently and bury the Zionists’ dream of dividing Iraq. If that can’t be done, the PM needs to get out of the way, because this madness has to stop. It just has to. Enough has been enough for a damn long time now. May the blood of our martyrs in Balad, Karrada and the entire homeland finally dry and may their benevolent souls rest in salaam.

Lessons from Hillarygate




On July 6, longtime Clinton crime family ally Attorney General Loretta Lynch unsurprisingly made it official.

Following FBI director James Comey’s failure to acknowledge Hillary’s email criminality serious enough to send ordinary people to prison, she issued a statement, saying:

“I received and accepted their unanimous recommendation that the thorough, year-long investigation be closed and that no charges be brought against any individuals within the scope of the investigation.”

Hillary is home free – except in the court of public opinion and to what extent Trump and other Republicans intend making her criminality and untrustworthiness major campaign issues. Much exists to exploit.

For now, she and husband Bill remain unaccountable for high crimes against peace, supporting predatory capitalism and neoliberal harshness harming millions, as well as racketeering through their Clinton Foundation – using it as a money-laundering, influence-peddling, self-enrichment racket, besides serious Hillary email security breaches.

It doesn’t matter as long as she and husband Bill remain untouchable, things rigged to protect them, the way it is for all current and former top US officials.

If ordinary people committed any of their offenses, indictment, prosecution and imprisonment would follow.

High crimes by top government and favored business officials go unpunished – one system for America’s privileged, another for everyone else, making a mockery of justice.

The prospect of a second Clinton co-presidency should scare everyone. Maybe they’ll be emboldened to destroy planet earth for their own self-aggrandizement and enrichment.

Dim-Witted Americans Clueless on Independence, Founding Fathers, etc.




Videos like this–seemingly intended to be humorous while at the same time showcasing American stupidity–often get uploaded to the Internet. RT dabbles in this kind of cultural critique from time to time, and each time I come across it I find myself wondering–did the reporter or video producer edit out all the people who gave intelligent responses in order to lavish plenty of camera time on the dumbest? What’s unusual about this video, is the interviewer does include–toward the end of the video–some Americans who dodemonstrate an above-kindergarten-level familiarity with history and who don’t embarrass themselves with their answers. Sadly, however, there appears no shortage of those deserving of the dunce cap. (Hat tip Ariadna).

Insight Vox – Identity Politics with Gilad Atzmon and David Scott



Introduction By David Scott, UK Column: Love has many definitions; but one is certainly to have the patience and care to point out the errors and flaws in another so that they may reform themselves, and by doing so avoid repeating self-destructive behaviour and the mistakes of the past. By this definition, Gilad Atzmon has a great love for the Jewish People although at times he has received great hatred in return. This is because in addition to being a Jazz Saxophonist of note and delight, writer and philosopher, he is also the sharpest and bravest of the critics of contemporary Jewish identity politics.
The central role of the modern State of Israel in middle east affairs, and the central role of the Jewish lobby in shaping the policies of the United States of America make his insights into Jewish power, Jewish identity and Jewishness of vital and pressing interest to all men and women with an interest in the forces which shape our world and affect our future. His views and observations are also an antidote to the narrow politically correct mindset which prevents honest discussion of vital matters due to fear of the label “anti-Semite”
Certain of Gilad’s insights, such as the issue of temporality- the short time horizons which characterise the Jewish world view, and the exilic nature of the Jewish religion will likely be entirely new to anyone not familiar with his writings as he has been almost alone in examining these issues which are at the heart of so much of contemporary Jewish culture and politics. These themes are explored further in Gilad’s first book “The Wandering Who”
In this interview we expand on his observations on Jewishness and take an occasionally more universal snap shot of the human condition, looking at issues for Great Britain, The United States and the Arab world. In particular comparisons and contrasts between our two nations; Scots and Jews, are used to illustrate the problems of exceptionalism, national exclusiveness and the effects of a powerful political elite upon national thriving.
This interview was a pleasure to be involved with and I hope the warmth and frankness of our discussion comes across to the viewer.

Saudi Aggression Continues, Yemenis Retaliate

Saudi warplanes bombed the town of al-Mukha in the Ta’az Province in Yemen’s extreme southwest, the Harib al-Qaramish town in the west-central Ma’rib Province, and another town in the Sana’a Province, on Friday, the al-Masira television reported.
saudi aggression
Besides, other reports added that an unspecified number of people were martredin al-Qaramish.
In response, Yemeni forces and fighters of the Popular Committees retaliated by launching rocket against a gathering of the mercenaries in Ma’rib, the report said. The television stated that dozens of mercenaries were killed in the operation.
Earlier in the month, it was informed that Saudi mercenaries killed three children in Yemen’s Jawf Province after assaulting a number of civilian buildings in the Matun district there.
Saudi Arabia launched its military aggression against Yemen on March 26, 2015 in a bid to bring Abed Rabboh Mansour Hadi, an ally of Riyadh, back to power.
More than 9,400 people were martyred and at least 16,000 others injured since the onset of the aggression.
The Saudi strikes also took a heavy toll on the country’s facilities and infrastructure, destroying many hospitals, schools, and factories.

Anti-Democratic Pro EU Protestors





[ Ed. note – This woman feels her life is being destroyed, but obviously hasn’t a clue who is responsible for it. ]
Britain is divided post brexit. The main cities voted to remain and the other areas in England & Wales to leave. The disconnect between our political representatives and the people has never been greater. Scotland voted to stay in the EU and is now pushing for another independence vote. The Pro EU campaigners are now bereft. Despite being a rare example of direct democracy in action they have since the result tried to undermine it’s validity and call for another referendum or for the result to be ignored. This will not happen, the people have spoken , the Queen accepted David Cameron’s resignation, possibly even suggested it.
The idea that the referendum could be ruled non-binding or run again is ludicrous. To do so would only en-flame tensions even further leading to riots and worse.
In this video an unidentified PR-EU protester confronts a woman holding a  “Leave” sign.  Quickly she is implicates her in the murder of Jo Cox. The media have portrayed that Jo Cox’s attacker was anti-EU, therefore all Leave campaigners are closet racists and probably secretly condone her murder.
You people are destroying our lives
You are destroying this country, You are destroying the people, You are destroying the relationships with our neighbours.
You are a racist.

Greece questions its NATO membership




Greece questions its NATO membership. 58355.jpeg
Conference “No to war. No to NATO” took place in Athens, Greece, on July 5.  The event was timed to the NATO summit to take place on July 8-9 in Warsaw, Poland.
The participants of the conference condemned the aggressive policy of the alliance. In their opinion, it tends to reduce the level of security. During the event, the participants of the conference also questioned the expediency of Greece’s NATO membership.
“The events in Cyprus, the war in Syria and disturbing events in the Black Sea with Ukraine – all this spreads NATO bases in Southern Europe. Furthermore, with its ports in Odessa and three airports in Kherson, the alliance reinforces its position in Russia’s backyard, which can not, but bother Moscow, pushing Russia to take measures in response. War is no longer a vague threat,  and the probability for Greece to be involved in it is apparent more than ever,” organizers of the conference noted.
The participants of the conference also intend to organize a social movement, the purpose of which will be to prevent Greece’s participation in NATO operations.

DEFIANCE PERSONIFIED: IRAQIS PERFORM EID PRAYERS AT MOSSAD-TAKFIRI BLAST SITE IN KARRADA



Defiance Personified: Iraqis Perform Eid Prayers At Mossad-Takfiri Blast Site In Karrada
by Jonathan Azaziah
Love my people!
I present to you the living, breathing, physical, visual, literal personification of DEFIANCE. Just 72 hours after the Mossad-Takfiri blast in the Karrada district of Baghdad that claimed the lives of at least 250 innocents, Iraqis marched to the site of the murderous attack and performed prayers for Eid al-Fitr, telling ISIS and its masters in the most elucidated of terms: Your suicide bombs and your sectarian hate, along with your violence and your Oded Yinon plan are comparable to mere gnats pestering a pride of lions; we just swat it all down like it ain’t even a thing and keep rollin’.
Iraq will never bow to the Zionist-Saudi fitnah.
Iraqis will never let you chisel away at our unity and our brotherhood.
We are the founders and builders of civilization; you are the ashes of empires underneath us.
We are knowledge, mathematics, science, poetry and language; you are backwardness, billowing boorishness and barbarism.
We are beauty, splendiferous, sublime, striking beauty; you are subhuman, ulcerous ugliness made flesh.
We are the sanctified sands that are awash in the holy martyr blood of Imam Ali (A.S.), Imam Hussein (A.S.), Zayd (A.S.) and Al-Mukhtar (R.A.); you are the corrupted desert of scorpions and snakes that bears nothing but the footprints of Amreeki and Sahyouni occupiers.
We are the Phoenix; you are the evil that is burned in our path of flight when we depart triumphantly from the white hot room.
We are IRAQ. And there is no scheme that ‘Israel’, the American ZOG, Al-Saud and their Takfiri tools can ever execute that will make us forget our 10,000 years of glorious history, nor make us abandon our fierce, unbreakable will to love, fight, resist, defy and LIVE.

Libya: Ten Things About Gaddafi They Don’t Want You To Know

What Do You Think Of When You Hear The Name Colonel Gaddafi? Tyrant? Dictator? Terrorist? Well, A National Citizen Of Libya May Disagree But We Want You To Decide.

giphy-141
Ruling the country for for 41 years until his demise in October 2011, Muammar Gaddafi did some truly amazing things for his country and repeatedly tried to unite and empower the whole of Africa. So despite what you’ve heard on the radio, seen in the media or on the TV Gaddafi did some powerful things that were not very reminiscent of a vicious dictator. Here are ten things Gaddafi did for Libya that you may not know about…

1. In Libya A Home Is Considered A Natural Human Right.

In Gaddafi’s green book it states: ” The house is a basic need of both the individual and the family, therefore it should not be owned by others”. Gaddafi’s Green Book is the formal leader’s political philosophy, it was first published in 1975 and was intended reading for all Libyans even being included in the national curriculum.
Green Book TEI

2. Education And Medical Treatment Were All Free.

Under Gaddafi’s reign Libya could boast one of the best healthcare services in the Arab and African world. Also if a Libyan citizen could not access the desired educational course or correct medical treatment in Libya they were funded to go abroad.

3. Gaddafi Carried Out The Worlds Largest Irrigation Project.

The largest irrigation system in the world also known as the great manmade river was designed to make water readily available to all Libyan’s across the entire country. It was funded by the Gaddafi government and it said that Gaddafi himself called it ”the eighth wonder of the world”.

4. It Was Free To Start A Farming Business.

If any Libyan wanted to start a farm they were given a house, farm land and live stock and seeds all free of charge.

5. A Bursary Was Given To Mothers With Newborn Babies.

When a Libyan woman gave birth she was given 5000 (US dollars) for herself and the child.

6. Electricity Was Free.

Electricity was free in Libya meaning absolutely no electric bills!

7.  Cheap Petrol

During Gaddafi’s reign the price of petrol in Libya was as low as 0.14 (US dollars) per litre.

8. Gaddafi Raised The Level Of Education.

Before Gaddafi only 25% of Libyans were literate. He bought that figure up to 87% under his rule with 25% earning university degrees.
Higher-education

9. Libya Had It’s Own State Bank.

Libya was the only country in the world to have a bank owned by the state meaning they were able to give loans to citizens at zero percent interest by law and they had no external debt.

10. The Gold Dinar

mu-and-the-gold-dinar
Before the fall of Tripoli and his untimely demise Gaddafi was trying to introduce a single African currency made of gold. Following in the foot steps of the late great pioneer Marcus Garvey who first coined the term ”United States of Africa”. Gaddafi wanted to introduce and only trade in the African gold Dinar  – a move which would have thrown the world economy into chaos.
The Dinar was widely opposed by the ‘elite’ of today’s society and who could blame them. African nations would have finally had the power to bring itself out of debt and poverty and only trade in this precious commodity. They would have been able to finally say ‘no’ to external exploitation and charge whatever they felt suitable for precious resources. It has been said that the gold Dinar was the real reason for the NATO led rebellion, in a bid to oust the outspoken leader.

So, Was Muammar Gaddafi A Terrorist?

Few can answer this question fairly, but if anyone can, it’s a Libyan citizen who has lived under his reign? Whatever the case, it seems rather apparent that he did some positive things for his country despite the infamous notoriety surrounding his name. And that’s something you should try to remember when judging in future.
This quirky video documentary spells out an interesting, if rather different, story from the one we think we know
So, What Do You Think?
