If You Are A Jew?

I came across this weird blog at this Israeli news website called, Arutz Sheva whilst poking around different news sites for information.

I had to put it up here as obviously using the words ”Goyim” to describe the rest of us outwardly to our faces might be just outrightly racsist.

Most likely us “Goyim” wouldn’t even think of exploring one of their online news services in depth, but I have found some gold there at times.

And I think this is one of those times.

If You are a Jew, What are You Waiting For?

I think I can speak for most of us who have merited the incomparable blessing of living in the Land of Israel when I say:
We love Israel more than bagels and lox.
We love Israel more than gefilta fish.
We love Israel more than Ben and Jerry’s ice cream.
We love Israel more than pastrami sandwiches on rye.
We love Israel more than getting smashed at Sabbath morning Kiddush.
We love Israel more than looking at the ladies on the other side of the mechitzah.
We love Israel more than watching the World Series, Super Bowl, Academy Awards, and Reality TV.
We love Israel more than reading the Sunday NY Times.
We love Israel more than Audis, Mercedes, Land Rovers, and Cadillacs.
We love Israel more than pets.
We love Israel more than six-figure salaries.
We love Israel more than six-bedroom houses.
We love Israel more than swimming pools and country club memberships and going to the movies on Saturday night.
We love Israel more than our secretaries.
We love Israel more than our shrinks and anti-depressants.
We love Israel more than kosher cruises to the Caribbean.
We love Israel more than junkets to Las Vegas.
We love Israel more than trips to France.
We love Israel more than Disneyland.
We love Israel more than retirement in Boca.
We love Israel more than the ghettos of Brooklyn and Monsey.
We love Israel more than living amongst the goyim in LA, Melbourne,
Toronto, Montreal, London, Johannesburg, Mexico City, and Chicago.
We love Israel more than ourselves.
We love Israel more than our families.
We love Israel more than our lives.
Do you want to know why? ( end snip.)

Talk about severe nationalism, sounds rather Nazi doesn't it???
Perhaps Ashke-Nazi?
The statement that we love Israel more than living amongst the “Goyim” is interesting because WHY? Do they then do it?
Why do they live amongst us in our cities when obviously they love Israel?
Isn’t Israel a gift from Their god?? their chosen land??
What is the motivation then for living amongst us “Goyim” then?
 An Agenda  perhaps?
If any other nation sounded off like this, we would be called Nationalist extremists or god forbid, Terrorists..

Another US National Arrested In Pakistan For Suspected Espionage

Well, another “US National” arrested in Pakistan for alleged Espionage

To add to the already strained relations between the USA and Pakistan.

The US National, Aaron Mark Dehaven, originally from West Virginia.

He apparently is a recent convert to “Islam” and owns a “Company” called

“CATALYST SERVICES   Which looks incredibly Suss.


The typical corporate weasel word type of wanky websites that these “companies” seem to all have.

 

 

Here is an article from the Times of India,

Pak arrests another US national on Suspicion of espionage

ISLAMABAD: As the lingering dispute over immunity for the detained CIA official Raymond Davis continues, Pakistan's law enforcement agencies have arrested yet another US national on Friday from Peshawar on suspicion of espionage.
According to sources,

He was arrested from Jamrud Road and was taken by intelligenc agencies to an undisclosed location for interrogation. Well-placed sources told TOI that Dehaven had been living, for the past three years, in Peshawar's
Falcon Colony, one of the most secured residential areas in the city. He had set up a private office in the country's volatile city and had hired several locals.

Sometimes back, he was converted to Islam and married a local woman working in his office.

Sources claimed that Dehaven was originally tasked to provide security to the visiting US officials to Peshawar.

Intelligence officials have confiscated his vehicle, carrying Islamabad's number plate---QB 565 and two cell phones.

A case has been filed against him under the Foreigners Act and he will be produced in a local court on Saturday. Without specifying his status, the US embassy said they were looking into the matter.

According to Pakistan's minister of state for foreign affairs Hina Rabbani Khar, 2,570 officials from 78 different countries working in
Pakistan
have diplomatic immunity while 55 foreign national are not covered by the immunity blanket.

Presenting a list of foreign nationals enjoying diplomatic immunity in the National Assembly, she said that the US has 851 officials in Pakistan and 54 of them do not have diplomatic immunity. Khar also said that the US had the largest number of officials with diplomatic immunity in the country. end snip


More information on this, MUCH more in depth can be found at

http://www.pakistankakhudahafiz.com/2011/02/26/pakistan-arrests-us-security-contractor-as-rift-with-cia-deepens/
And here is a Snipet from that article:

snip:

DeHaven runs a company named Catalyst Services which, according to its website, is staffed by retired military and defense department personnel who have “played some role in major world events” including the collapse of the Soviet Union, the military mission to Somalia and the “global war on terror”.


Services offered include “full-service secure residences”, protective surveillance and armed security.

One prospective customer who met DeHaven last year described him as a small, slightly-built man, who wore glasses and had broad knowledge of Pakistani politics.

DeHaven said he had lived in Kandahar, Afghanistan, for one year, had married a Pakistani woman along the border with Afghanistan, and spoke Pashto fluently.
He said he moved his base from Peshawar to Islamabad last year over suspicions that he worked for Blackwater, the controversial US military contracting firm.
His business partner is listed on company documents as Hunter Obrikat with an address in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The Guardian was unable to contact either men at listed numbers in Pakistan, Afghanistan, the US and Dubai.

US embassy spokeswoman Courtney Beale said DeHaven was “not a direct employee of the US government” but added that details could not be confirmed until a consular officer had met him.


The arrest is another sign of brittle relations between the two countries.

end snip   

So Where is this all leading, perhaps more riots and protests like in neighbouring countries?

Maybe even “revolution”?

Please see Below link.

Imran Khan, of Cricket fame, said in a report


"This is not an ordinary situation," Khan told the Time. "If he (Davis) is returned to the US under diplomatic immunity, it might trigger the revolution off."

And mentioned that Pakistan is RIPE for it”

And so it goes. Deeper and Deeper.

We need to keep our eyes on this one.

Anyway, I thought I’d put up a post about this as it’s all connected as we can see.

So much for a day off blogging.

US Army Ordered Psy-Ops On OWN Lawmakers

So which“rouge elements" within encourage and participate in this behaviour ?

US ARMY Ordered PSY-OPS On It's OWN Lawmakers

Michael Mathes
February 25, 2011 - 10:14AM
AFP

The US Army ordered the illegal use of psychological operations to influence US lawmakers on the Afghanistan war, Rolling Stone magazine reports, forcing the US commander there to launch an inquiry.


The explosive article said the command of General William Caldwell, in charge of training Afghan troops, pressured US soldiers specialising in "psy-ops" that normally influence enemy behaviour, to manipulate visiting US senators and congressmen --

as well as other VIPs and senior foreign officials -- into supporting more money and troops for the war.


The report shook Washington at a time of growing public dissatisfaction with the longest US war, with lawmakers urging a swift investigation of the "disturbing" charges.

Pentagon spokesman Colonel David Lapan said war commander General David Petraeus "is preparing to order an investigation" to determine "what actions took place and if any of them was inappropriate or illegal".


Defense Secretary Robert Gates "is aware of the allegations" in the article, and "fully supports General Petraeus' decision to investigate this matter before drawing any conclusions," said Pentagon spokesman Geoffrey Morrell.


The report says an army lieutenant colonel told the magazine he had been repeatedly ordered by Caldwell's staff to target senators including 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain, Joe Lieberman, Jack Reed, Al Franken and Carl Levin.


Among those the team was told to pressure during a four-month period were Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen, Germany's interior minister, and the Czech ambassador to Kabul, according to members of the "information operations" (IO) team and internal documents.

And when the officer sought to bring the operation to a halt, a campaign of retaliation was launched against him, according to the magazine.

"My job in psy-ops is to play with people's heads, to get the enemy to behave the way we want them to behave," Lieutenant ColonelMichael Holmes, leader of the IO unit, told Rolling Stone.


"I'm prohibited from doing that to our own people. When you ask me to try to use these skills on senators and congressman, you're crossing a line."


The magazine also said Caldwell's chief of staff asked Holmes how the general could secretly manipulate the US lawmakers.

"How do we get these guys to give us more people?" the chief of staff demanded.

"What do I have to plant inside their heads?"

An inquiry will likely check whether the IO effort was in violation of US law that forbids targeting US nationals with such propaganda campaigns.

These are "serious charges that must and will be fully investigated," said Reed, a Democrat who sits on key committees with oversight over the conflict.

Both Reed and Levin, the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman, denied they had been influenced by the effort.

Reed said in a statement that on each of the 11 trips he has made to Afghanistan since the war began he tries "to cast a wide net and gather information from many sources".

The report was the second dramatic scoop on military issues by the iconic music magazine in less than a year.

In 2010, Michael Hastings, the same writer as Thursday's article, wrote a withering critique of Petraeus predecessor General Stanley McChrystal and his staff, attributing blunt comments to the commander's staff which led to his ouster.

Hastings wrote that Holmes -- who became the subject of an army investigation after emailing a military lawyer to address his discomfort with the psy-op orders on US civilians -- said Caldwell "seemed far more focused on the Americans and the funding stream than he was on the Afghans.


"We were there to teach and train the Afghans. But for the first four months it was all about the US," he added.

"Later he even started talking about targeting the NATO populations."

In response to Holmes' email, military lawyer Captain John Scott agreed with Holmes and wrote that the "IO doesn't do that," according to the report.

"(Public affairs) works on the hearts and minds of our own citizens and IO works on the hearts and minds of the citizens of other nations," Scott wrote.

"While the twain do occasionally intersect, such intersections... should be unintentional."

In a statement to the magazine, a Caldwell spokesman "categorically denies the assertion that the command used an Information Operations Cell to influence distinguished visitors".

ISI And CIA Tensions May Cause Split

As tensions from the fall out of the Davis affair grow,

We find that now the ISI have reached the point where they are ready to sever relations with the CIA.

Lack of trust and respect seem to be the main reason, like any “relationship"

But in other news, trust and compromise also seem to be internal issues for Pakistan as two of the jail personnel where Davis is being held have been sacked for “assisting” him..

ISI ready to split with CIA, report claims

ISLAMABAD:

Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence is ready to split with the CIA because of frustration over what it calls heavy-handed pressure and its anger over what it believes is a covert US operation involving hundreds of contract spies, according to an internal document obtained by The Associated Press and interviews with US and Pakistani officials.


According to a statement drafted by the ISI, supported by interviews with officials, an already-fragile relationship between the two agencies collapsed following the shooting to death of two Pakistanis by Raymond Davis, a US contracted spy who is in jail in Pakistan facing possible multiple murder charges.

“Post-incident conduct of the CIA has virtually put the partnership into question,” said a media statement prepared by the ISI but never released. A copy was obtained this week by the AP.


The statement accused the CIA of using pressure tactics to free Davis.


“It is hard to predict if the relationship will ever reach the level at which it was prior to the Davis episode,” the statement said.

“The onus of not stalling this relationship between the two agencies now squarely lies on the CIA.”


The ISI fears there are hundreds of CIA contracted spies operating in Pakistan without the knowledge of either the Pakistan government or the intelligence agency, a senior Pakistani intelligence official told the AP in an interview.


“The CIA works closely with our Pakistani counterparts on a wide range of security challenges, including our common fight against al Qaeda and its terrorist allies,” he said.
“The agency’s ties to ISI have been strong over the years, and when there are issues to sort out, we work through them. That’s the sign of a healthy partnership.”


The CIA repeatedly has tried to penetrate the ISI and learn more about Pakistan’s nuclear program.

The ISI has mounted its own operations to gather intelligence on the CIA’s counterterrorism activities.

The ISI is now scouring thousands of visas issued to US employees in Pakistan.

A Western diplomat in Pakistan agreed that a “floodgate” opened for US Embassy employees requesting Pakistani visas.

The ISI official said his agency knows and works with “the bona fide CIA people in Pakistan” but is upset that the CIA would send others over behind its back. For now, he said, his agency is not talking with the CIA at any level, including the most senior.


To regain support and assistance, he said, “They have to start showing respect, not belittling us, not being belligerent to us, not treating us like we are their lackeys.”


Relations between the CIA and ISI have been on a downward slide since the name of the US agency’s station chief in Pakistan was leaked in a lawsuit accusing him of killing civilians in a drone strike.


Fearing for his safety, the CIA eventually pulled the station chief out of the country.

ISI leaders balked at allegations that they outed the CIA top spy in their country. Former and current US officials believe the station chief fell out of favour, but the Pakistanis say this is not the case.

Those accusations and the naming of ISI chief Shuja Pasha in a civil lawsuit in the United States — filed by family members of victims of a November 2008 attack in Mumbai, India, by insurgents — started the downslide in relations, the ISI official said.

To help repair the crucial relationship, the CIA earlier this year dispatched a very senior officer to be the new station chief who was previously the head of the European Division, one of the most important jobs in the National Clandestine Service, the agency’s spy arm.


The spy agencies have overcome lows before. During President George W. Bush’s first term, the ISI became enraged after it shared intelligence with the United States, only to learn that the then-CIA station chief passed that information to the British.
The incident caused a serious row, one that threatened the CIA’s relationship with the ISI and deepened the levels of distrust between the two sides.

This situation with the Davis case, the ISI and CIA and all the fallout from it, even the compromising of Jail personnel with trying to smuggle in to the jail, a USB memory stick which has resulted in the sackings of an Assistant Superintendent and a prison constable.

Asst. Superintendent Jail sacked for providing facilities to Davis.

LAHORE:

Assistant Superintendent Kot Lakhpat Jail and a prison constable were allegedly dismissed from their posts for providing facilities to US official Raymond Davis, who is detained for killing two Pakistani nationals, DawnNews reported.

According to sources, Naved Asghar posted as an assistant superintendent at the Kot Lakhpat prison allegedly tried to provide Davis with a universal serial bus (USB) memory stick with the help of a constable, Hafiz Hussain, posted in the high security zone of the Information Technology (IT) department of the prison.

The USB stick was recovered from Hussain when he was trying to enter high security cells.

During investigation, he disclosed that Asghar had asked him to take the memory stick in the high security cells.

However, Asghar told officials during investigations that he had asked Hussain to take a print-out of the data of the USB stick, but he took it to the high security cells instead and did so of his own volition.

According to sources, senior officials dismissed both accused and handed investigation responsibilities to an intelligence organisation.   (end snip)


Obviously there is much distrust. Even internally between the intelligence agencies, the general police, and prison security forces.

Who knows what will happen next and how far down the rabbit hole this one goes, we can only watch and wait.

Fortress Davis: Jailbreak? or International Court of Justice?

More of the Saga of the Raymond Davis case.

Who knows how deep down the rabbit hole this goes?

And what other dimentional aspects it involves.

There seems to be plenty of speculation from all sides.

Here is more news from Pakistan.

Can America snatch ‘Davis’ from Pakistan?

Posted on February 23, 2011 by Lahori


There are plenty of Video games available which cater to fantasy of rescuing imprisoned Americans. It is not without the realm of possibility that the CIA, and Xe are all considering ways to spring “Raymond Davis” out of the Kot Lakhpat jail.

Jeff Steinof the Washington Post tackled the the question that is on everyone’s mind.
Can the CIA rescue “Raymond Davis”? He described the hopeless situation prolifically.
He says “The betting is that President Obama will somehow figure out a way to spring Davis, a CIA operative whose diplomatic cover is a matter of heated debate.
But given the exigencies of Pakistani politics, the Obama administration’s threats, pressure and general foot-stomping are not guaranteed to work.”

One of the experts he talked to described the options for any physical escape as follows:

1) If “Davis” was being held on the ground floor room with a not so think external wall American Marines could use a shaped charge to blow a hole in the wall, toss in use flash-bangs and then take Mr. Davis to the safety of the US Embassy and then ferret him out of the country.

2) The Marines or XE could pump tear gas into the Kot Lakhpath jail to evict the security personnel.

3) The above scenarios are dependent on taking out Pakistanis communications by destroying the the infrastructure.

Of course the Pakistanis have already increased the security cordons around Mr. Davis and have stopped direct physical contact with him.
The Kot Lakhpath jail is a very secure facility that holds some of the worst Pakistani criminals.
If it was so easy to scale the walls of the prison, the mafia bosses would have escaped a long time ago.
The ISI has filed a motion to place Mr. “Davis” in the Lahore Fort–a facility that is more secure than the Kot Lakhpat jail.
(End snip)

So, The Pakaistan Govt sees the need to move Davis into a "fort", Lahore Fortress.

And then there is this possibility of the International Court of Justice
"tackling" the case.

Davis case may end up in ICJ
By Our Staff Reporter | ISLAMABAD:

The lingering dispute over immunity for jailed US official Raymond Davis, accused of double murder, may end up at the International Court of Justice if efforts to resolve the matter diplomatically and bilaterally fail.

Although the US has been insisting that it is focused on bilaterally settling the row, sources suggest that the dispute could be referred to the ICJ.

“There is a dispute resolution mechanism. There is an optional protocol to Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (VCDR)… under which there is a provision for the dispute to be notified to the International Court of Justice,” a diplomatic source said on Tuesday.

Both Pakistan and the US are signatories to the ‘optional protocol’ to the VCDR.
Another route for ending the controversy could be arbitration.

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani told the National Assembly on Monday that the two countries continued to differ on the interpretation and applicability of international and national laws in the case.

The government last week requested the Lahore High Court, hearing petitions challenging Davis’s immunity, for more time to certify his status.

Indecision on part of the government has added to confusion in the case, but it is widely speculated that delaying tactics are being employed to provide the US embassy and the victims’ families an opportunity to reach a compromise.

A reference to the ICJ in a dispute over immunity is rare and the only precedent is that of the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis.

“States realise that they have to work it out together,” the diplomatic source said.
The VCDR’s optional protocol had mandatory jurisdiction and the ICJ “decision will be binding on the states”, said the sources, who is an expert in international law.

“It will be the responsibility of the state concerned to bring its actions in conformity with international law,” the expert stressed.

Meanwhile, a US embassy official questioned the jurisdiction of Pakistani courts to criminally prosecute Davis.

“Since he enjoys immunity the matter shouldn’t have been in the court in the first place,” the official said, adding that Pakistani courts didn’t have jurisdiction to hear his case.

There is much, much more to this than meets the eye.

Iran Warships to Transit Suez Canal on Tuesday:
ReportsBy Mimi Li


Iranian navy warships are planning to make their transit through Egypt’s Suez Canal on Tuesday, multiple media reports said.


Two warships plan to make the journey on Tuesday at a cost of nearly $300,000, The Associated Press reported citing unnamed canal officials.


The trip would be the first time in three decades that Iran has sent military ships through the waterway that connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea.


Israel, which views Iran as a staunch enemy, considers the ships’ journey as a hostile provocation, but Tehran maintains that the warships are traveling to Syria for a training mission.


The warships will make a trip through the Suez Canal that is "routine according to international law" and will anchor in Syria "for a few days," according to Bloomberg News citing Ahmad Mousavi, Iran’s ambassador to Syria.


One ship going through the Suez Canal is a frigate warship, while the other is a supply vessel, AP said. (end snip)

Iran naval ships to cross Suez Canal on Monday
 
CAIRO | Sat Feb 19, 2011 11:24pm GMT

 
CAIRO (Reuters) - Two Iranian naval ships will sail through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean Monday, a Suez Canal official said, in what will be the first passage of Iranian naval ships through the canal since 1979. 

Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has described Iran's plan to send the ships through the canal en route to Syria as a "provocation." 

 
They would enter the canal in the northern convoy Monday morning and complete the journey to the Mediterranean by evening.
 

An Egyptian army source said Friday that the military, which has been running Egypt since President Hosni Mubarak was toppled from power on February 11, had approved Iran's request to send the ships through the canal.

   
Cairo is an ally of the United States and has a peace treaty with Israel but its relations with Iran have been strained since the 1979 revolution.
 
Egypt's Western allies are watching for hints of any shift in policy towards its Middle East neighbours.

So again we see conflicting reports.. 


Comming or going, it makes no difference does it?
 
It's All About Raising The Tension

END UPDATE: A13.

 So on one hand we see that some news sources are saying that the Ships are

going ahead and have permission form the SCA (Suez Canal Authority) mostly


Israeli and other news sources..


But from other reports we get the news that they aren't.



This from Bloomberg:


http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-02-17/no-iranian-warships-scheduled-to-cross-suez-canal-egyptian-official-says.html



NO IRANIAN WARSHIPS SCHEDULED TO CROSS SUEZ CANAL EGYPTIAN OFFICIAL SAYS

snip


"
Egypt’s Suez Canal Authority said no Iranian warships have applied to use the route since yesterday, when Israel’s foreign minister accused Iran of a "provocation" by planning to send two naval vessels to Syria via the waterway.

 
"No Iranian war vessels have passed through the
Suez Canal today and not yesterday," the authority’s head of traffic, Ahmed El Manakhly, told Bloomberg Television in an interview. "We didn’t have any requests for any Iranian vessels to pass through the canal." end snip

 So we keep reading and find this comment.

 snip:"The international community must understand that Israel can’t ignore forever these kinds of provocations," Lieberman said yesterday in a speech to U.S. Jewish leaders in Jerusalem in which he discussed the ships.


After his comments, gasoline climbed to a 28-month high on
the New York Mercantile Exchange, rising with crude oil and heating oil on concern that Middle Eastern oil shipments will be disrupted.

(end Snip)

 rather a confusing situation?

 
Maybe it has something to do with oil .

 
SPUIKING UP THE PRICE IN OIL and GOLD.


If anything happens, manufactured or not, in the Suez Canal Region,


Possibly the plan is to Hype up the Iranian ships, to create a false tension, so that the canal will shut down, and bring pressure on Egypt.


And of course, the Suez Being a highly important and stategic route, It will affect not only the price of oil, but commodities as well.
 
Which is could be the plan, as well as making Iran look like protagonists and annoying bad guys.
 
BUT as we see below, there seems to be a Glut of oil...and prices have fallen.
snip


"Oil supplies at Cushing jumped to a record 38.3 million barrels in the week ended Jan. 28. 

The supply glut there has pressured the price of oil on the Nymex.
 Cushing inventories gained 250,000 barrels to 37.7 million in the seven

days to Feb. 11, according to an Energy Department report Feb. 16."

Confusing?

yes.

How do we know what is really happening here??

The more instability in the Middle East the better for the Oil Market ?

 
Evidently there is a glut and to keep prices where they want them,

there has to be something that "Restricts" Availability, or Creates "Tension"

That's how it seems to be planned and to respond.

A13.

So what is really happening here?
so is this situation a deliberate provocation or exteme paranoia by an unstable conglomerate?
