Israel’s Declining Sperm Quality Tied to Depleted Uranium Exposure
http://salem-news.com/articles/april142010/israeli-sperm.php
Tim King Salem-News.com

With the latest news, Israel may soon lose the need to create and seek out
enemies; with a little help from the U.S. they did this to themselves.

(TEL AVIV / SALEM) - Israel’s population is facing a dire threat: a drastic
depopulation, from the use of weapons that leave behind Depleted Uranium
(DU). Depleted Uranium leads to the word Omnicidal, as DU kills everything in
the food chain, everywhere the wind blows. Experts say the dramatic drop in
Israel’s sperm count could eliminate their ability to reproduce.

Research by an Israeli doctor shows a significant drop in sperm count level and
sperm motility among young Israeli soldiers in recent years. Sperm motility is
the ability of sperm to move properly toward an egg.

It is attributed to the inhalation of DU aerosolized nano-particles; the dirty
results of extra powerful weapons used by Israel and the U.S.

All of that military might as it turns out, could set the stage for a massive Israeli
act of population suicide.

Yes a mass geopolitical campaign conceived in the West and carried out by proxies and these co-conspirators to start wars are from every religion, race and country. There is always this issue of people with money and people in power manipulating the world to hate one country or another all for their own design. And now a war can follow. If we lockstep with them, it will be against ourselves. All people need to promote the truth and refuse to be manipulated by inhumane, power hungry megalomaniacs wherever they reside. The world’s conflicts grow from the habit of forming connections for all the wrong reasons. Just remember, provocateurs need the masses to carry out their divisive desires. But the masses can also form creative problem solving communities if they want to thrive in peace. Consider these words from a prominent Arab writer: (Ynetnews): “The Arab world shows a rare appreciation of Israel’s readiness to pay such a price for one soldier.

“The Syrian publicist Chalas Galbi wrote in the Syrian paper El Ailaf: ‘In our country the government shoots you, in Israel they do everything they can to bring back rotten bones. Perhaps it is us who have a problem? Concerning the issue of the soldier, the soul,Gilad Shalit, all the politicians and the military officials in our enemy state were involved and made efforts to free him.’

“Galbi contrasts this with the brutal repression of the uprising in Syria… ‘Who is the enemy and who is a friend? Can we understand that the problem is internal and that the Israeli issue is minor? Can we understand that we conquer each other more cruelly than Israel does?’ He adds: ‘In every prisoner exchange we cheer that we’ve smashed Israel and that it is the “mother of all battles,” the exchange of the decade. We are a nation that loves to laugh, aren’t we? October 11 (the day the exchange was announced) should be accepted with condolences, crying and mourning because of the state of the Arab nation.’

Saber Teams supports the people of Syria who desire a free life.  We offer our evacuation, paramilitary training services.  We have the essential personnel and supplies to do so. Syria offers nothing more than oppression and sugjugation.  We are willing to assist in anyway we can. The change that is coiming is necessary, don’t be duped it isn’t.

The whining western ZOGs and their Arab poodles have now turned against the leadership of the Arab League Observation Mission (ALOM) in Syria which they choose themselves. They’re expecting that the director of ALOM, Mustafa al-Dabi, a former Sudanese general, like IAEA director general Yukiya Amano, will follow US dictation. To their great bewildement, Mustafa al-Dabi has described the situation in the opposition stronghold of Homs as “reassuring“.

The Zionist-friendly Al-Jazeera and London-based Syrian human rights group (SHRC) are not happy with Mustafa al-Dabi’s verdic and has started a vicious character assassination campaign against him based on his association with Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir who is wanted by Zionist puppet, the International Criminal Court, which has refused to investigate George Bush, Dick Cheney and Israeli generals for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The old ghost of Jewish-created ‘Save Darfur’ is being resurrected against Mustafa al-Dabi. Incidently, Israeli media had admitted that over US$50 million from the ‘Save Darfur’ fund were transfered to the Zionist entity to build new Jewish settlements on land stolen from the Native Muslims and Christians.

Rami Abdelrahman, head of the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, receives his funds from US and British NGOs. The organization serves as the exclusive source of “reports” coming out of Syria despite the fact that it is actually, entirely based in London.

Remember the Zionist propagada crook, Tom MacMaster, faking Syrian lesbian blogger, Amina Abdallah Arraf, ‘A Gay Girl in Damascus’ who fed lies to the Zionist-controlled media.

Abdu Maghrabi, chief editor Egyptian daily al-Anbaa is a member of the 11-member Egyptian media delegation visiting Syria as part of AL observation mission. He expressed surprise at the news broadcast by al-Arabiya TV on the violent acts and killing in Daraa, saying “I expected the Syrian government will cancel our visit to the city because of what I heard. However, what happened is that we went to Daraa and found nothing of what has been reported by al-Arabiya, which indicates the huge misleading media campaign on Syria.”

In June 2011 – US Congressman Kucinich had blasted western media for exaggerating events in Syria.

French journalist and author, Thierry Meyssan has claimed that the so-called ‘Free Syrian Army’ doing most of the killing inside Syria is headed by the US-Saudi asset, Aldel Hakim Belhaj, the military governor of Tripoli (Libya).

This is all too familiar. Obama is preparing for a war on Syria. To justify this war,
he is looking for excuses. Syria has been a target of ours for a long time. The
neocons wanted to invade Syria right after Iraq. Most of the corporate media are
aiding and abetting Obama with this war. How come only the rebels are
interviewed? When ABC interviewed Bashar al-Asad, they did a hatchet job. Who is
funding the Syrian National Council? Who is sending arms into Syria? Who is
allowing Libyan al-Qeada fighters in? Obama et al aren’t happy about the
economy, so let’s go to war. That will take your mind off of our problems.

Bashar al-Assad is very popular among his people. His problem is he sides with countries and groups (Hamas, Hizbullah, Iran, Venezuela, etc.) which Israel considers threat to its illegal existence. The anti-Bashar human rights propaganda lies are fed by London-based SHRC, which is funded by several Jewish billionaire George Soro’s groups.

It’s interesting to note that the first anti-Bashar conference was convened by French Israel-Firster Jew, Bernard-Henri Levy, which was attended by several Israeli officials in Paris early this year.

RE: this Hipocracy Now Syria ‘report’ - conclusion: pretty
good theatre…  by comparison, some seasoned journalists have visited and

2011 YEAR of the DUPE: One Year into the Engineered “Arab Spring,”
One Step Closer to Global Hegemony

Timeline and History

by Tony Cartalucci

dupe (dp, dyp)

n.

1. An easily deceived person.

2. A person who functions as the tool of another person or power.

tr.v. duped, dup·ing, dupes To deceive (an unwary person).

December 24, 2011 - In January of 2011, we were told that
“spontaneous,” “indigenous” uprising had begun sweeping North Africa and the
Middle East in what was hailed as the “Arab Spring.” It would be almost four
months before the corporate-media would admit that the US had been behind
the uprisings and that they were anything but “spontaneous,” or “indigenous.”
In an April 2011 article published by the New York Times titled, “U.S. Groups
Helped Nurture Arab Uprisings,” it was stated:

“A number of the groups and individuals directly involved in the revolts and
reforms sweeping the region, including the April 6 Youth Movement in Egypt,
the Bahrain Center for Human Rights and grass-roots activists like Entsar
Qadhi, a youth leader in Yemen, received training and financing from groups
like the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute and
Freedom House, a nonprofit human rights organization based in Washington.”

The article would also add, regarding the US National Endowment for
Democracy (NED):

“The Republican and Democratic institutes are loosely affiliated with the
Republican and Democratic Parties. They were created by Congress and are
financed through the National Endowment for Democracy, which was set up in
1983 to channel grants for promoting democracy in developing nations. The
National Endowment receives about $100 million annually from Congress.
Freedom House also gets the bulk of its money from the American government,
mainly from the State Department. “

It is hardly a speculative theory then, that the uprisings were part of an
immense geopolitical campaign conceived in the West and carried out through
its proxies with the assistance of disingenuous foundations, organizations, and
the stable of NGOs they maintain throughout the world. As we will see,
preparations for the “Arab Spring” and the global campaign that is now
encroaching on both Russia and China, as predicted in February 2011?s “The
Middle East & then the World,” began not as unrest had already begun, but
years before the first “fist” was raised, and within seminar rooms in D.C. and
New York, US-funded training facilities in Serbia, and camps held in
neighbouring countries, not within the Arab World itself.
