Ayatollah Turns the Terrorism TablesPosted on Jun 25, 2011
U.S. leaders got a dose of their own medicine Saturday when Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, called them out for supporting and practicing terrorism in the Middle East and beyond. The official, political designations of such words as “terrorist” and “freedom fighter” given to militants fighting at home and abroad often reflect national interests, of course, with leaders of many countries, including the U.S., speaking and behaving as if their soldiers can do no wrong. Such glaring, self-interested bias naturally merits an examination of the facts. In Pakistan, for instance, research by The New American Foundation, a Washington, D.C., think tank, puts the total number of people killed by U.S. drone attacks between 2004 and 2011 as high as 2,464, with about 20 percent of them thought to have been civilians. —ARK

Lew you evidently bring out some very pertinent observations concerning the Religious aspects within society,although I do believe in the virtues of such at the family and community
level ;the distinction that you emphasize at the ‘elite ’ level is understood.The peoples of this only planet -that we all share- have been waylaid into believing through nefarious machinations that the salvation lies within the ‘elites’ promotion of such Philosophies . In order to maintain and or cling to power the populace must be brought to heel -so to speak so that the respective Status Quo’s may remain .In essence it is no different for the proselytizers of Judaism and all of its off-shoots which includes the prophet Mohammed for the Muslims .Yet conversely the situation is deteriorating into a new fangled crusade of sorts between the Bible preachers and their competition -the Imams -.Which ever angle that this
issue is tackled the underlying end result is Power and conformity towards the ruling class,basically we live in a world where the Gods have now become the Gods of mammon.
Cheers

Imagine Lew: the word lie is about as accurate as you
can imagine it to be. Maybe Madelaine Albright could use your assistance in clarifying her heartfelt hatred .Five hundred thousand is well worth it ,Islamophobia notwithstanding.
Madeleine Albright’s comments should surprise no one. She’s a democrat—a leftist—therefore an ‘evangelical true believer’ in Marxism/Socialism ... Marxism/Socialism is, arguably, the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on mankind as well as the most sinister religion ever created—the State is God. So why would it surprise anyone that an evil Marxist/socialist high priest such as the heinous-faced Yaotzin, Albright, would make such a statement?
Islamophobia is a term coined to suppress freedom of expression through intimidation by the Evil alliance of Western Leftists and Islamic fundamentalism. There is no such phobia. The deception is to have the term seen as paralleling xenophobia. Islam is a religion and one doesn’t fear a religion. One exposes a religion and its dogmas for what they are; lies invented by flawed cretins in order to control the masses for the benefit of an auto-determined enlightened class.

‘Attack the messenger’ while playing the victim and ignoring the facts has been a worthwhile tactic but as with all tactics it too is losing its effectiveness. The world has seen and suffered the well-documented, non-discriminatory tactics of terror used by Islamic fundamentalists for about 40 years. Nothing surprises us any longer. You might want to check with Hell’s Headquarters, the place where Satan resides, the U.N., and review all the evidence THEY have to back THEIR charges of Islamic fundamentalists’ use of children as living bombs. And the U.N. is hardly a right-wing tool; it is as leftist as it is anti-American and evil.

Lew Ciefer :Maybe if you tried to decipher the bullshit you might learn something.Eight year olds are eclectic and not suicidal ,sounds a lot like the Kuwait incubator story doesn’t it.
Yeah there seems to be a lot of eclecity in the air lately. I guess the 9 year girl a week earlier who had a bomb strapped to her after being kidnapped and drugged and luckily defused by police forces (Isamic) is ecelctic also? How about the 12 year old boy a few weeks ago whose splattered remains were simply washed off surrounding structues? Ecelectic?
The ‘incubator incident’ doesn’t provide you with an out but rather raises the question why Muslims—under oath—would lie knowing that the consequences would be U.S. military actions against fellow Muslims?

War is big buissness. A war aginst terrorism, is a never ending profit making war. War has become the new global market place for the elite to shop. YOU ARE PART OF THE GOODS FOR SALE. Expendable resources is all you are. Think about it.

Nice. An anti-terrorism conference made up solely of terrorist entities. Do they kill each other on the last day?
Well if this past weekend’s event are an indication they’ll strap a bomb on an eight year old child and blow up innocent people in the name of their god and religion, then all the Leftist enablers of the West will duck their heads until things cool off so as not to have to comment on how much more of a base coward can all these supposedly brave macho Islamic jihadists can become. They don’t want to risk being labeled ‘Islamophobes.’
I ask you, who, in your opinion, is a baser coward? Those who strap a bomb to an eight year old or those who cringe in fear and trembling afraid to utter a word of outrage—thus condoning?—for fear of offending ‘sensitivites.?
Well, at least that little girl won’t be having her ‘sensitivites’ offended any longer.

It’s just a coincidence that several latin American heads of state die because their planes malfunction and crash. All of them opposed the USG pushing the corporatist agenda of stealing the assets of their countries. The fatal attacks are a result of the Jackals, assassins, murdering them. I refer to John Perkins book[s] Confessions of and Apology of an Economic Hitman. His job was to offer bribes to leaders of a country first. I refused, their would be an attempted coup, Venezuela 2002,and ultimately assassination if the coup failed. I’m sure Hugo Chavez of Venezuela realizes this. The 2002 was bungled so badly that a blatant murder of Chavez could easily be attributed to the USG Jackals.

Some might say that the word “terrorism” ought to be defined before people toss it around. I think that there is no accepted legal definition now, but that at one time, about 12 years ago, the definition was: “the threat of or the use of illegal violence in pursuit of a political goal”. If one were to apply such a definition to the actions of States, corporations, employers, or even the action of the Mayberry Police Department, one might discover that terrorism is a very ordinary methodology the beginnings of which are lost in the mists of history. So - what does our intrepid sock puppet “Barky” mean by the term? Working from usage and context it’s pretty clear that “terrorist” means somebody we’re supposed to hate, never agree with, and whose murder we’re supposed to applaud. If we don’t, then we are terrorists… Sieg Heil!

Dubya said it himself ‘we will fight terror with terror’ ;rather self explanatory isn’t it .Still the predominate reason for the turmoil between Iran and the US along with their European Lackeys is the Central Banking ‘issue ‘,hence Globalization promulgated by that ‘despicable , in-bred family ,which still thinks that it could rule the World with FIAT.

A retired U.S. military general admitted that, “By any measure, the United States has long used terrorism.” He recalled that, while working as a top military general, “the Senate was trying to pass a bill against international terrorism” but “the lawyers told the drafters [of the bill that] in every version they produced the United States would be in violation…. Consequently, no such law was ever passed.” Hear his comments at this link: http://youtu.be/ndqPqOKh00k

Jesus Christ once said before he was brought before the Roman King: ” Those who
Report thislive by the sword shall die by the sword and may death cometh onto de who
glorifies in thy name”. The greatest deception by the devil was convincing
mankind he didn’t exist.
May god have mercy on us all, for we know not what we say or do in this world of
great deception and pure evil.

Since when is it OK for American agencies to send in saboteurs into Iran to blow up shit, plant computer viruses into nuke plants which jeopordize us all and have robotic drones commit border violations to perform extrajudicial killing?
This once great nation has morphed into what we once sought to overthrow.

The USA is the greatest perpetrator of state sponsored terrorism on the planet! Of course we call it collateral damage and throw the victims’ families(if any are left alive,i.e. wedding parties, etc.)a few grand as “compensation” and continue on our quest for the proverbial “Bad Guys”. Someday, America, retribution will be exacted. FREE BRADLEY MANNING & CHRIS DeCHRISTOPHER!!!!!!!!

A lot of the points made at the conference were valid, especially the downing of a civilian Iranian airliner by the US in 1988. In our own hemisphere Cuba, Nicaragua, Chile and El Salvador are all too familiar with the kind of brutal terrorism practiced by the United States.
