Spain issues arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister!

15 November 2015 (00:23 UTC-07 Tango 01)/24 Aban 1394/02 Safar 1437/04 Ding-Hai (10th month) 4713

The Spanish Supreme Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well as for Avigdor Lieberman, Ehud Barak, Moshe Ya’alon, Eli Yishai, Benny Begin and Eliezer Marom.  They will be arrested if they set foot in Spain.
It concerns the 2010 Israeli attack on a humanitarian aid ship heading to the concentration camp known as Gaza Strip.  Nine unarmed civilians were killed.
The Israeli government is now pressuring the Spanish government to cancel the warrants.
Israeli newspaper points finger at true terrorist: Their own government!

False Flag: Attacker has extensive ‘criminal record’ yet spent no time in prison!

14 November 2015 (14:30 UTC-07 Tango 01)/23 Aban 1394/01 Safar 1437/03 Ding-Hai (10th month) 4713

“…this is just the beginning.”-quote attributed to DAIISH

Live TV news reports out of Europe have been stating that one of the attackers had an extensive criminal record yet somehow managed to never spend time in prison. They never give details.  One report said the man, a French citizen, had been found guilty in the past of several crimes, implying court trials, yet no explanation why he didn’t go to prison.  This man is apparently the one French police say they’ve been tracking for some time.

French police now link an Egyptian passport to one of the attackers.  They also say a finger of an attacker belongs to a French citizen.

It should be noted that Belgian cops launched raids in Belgium against ‘terror cells’ immediately after the attacks in Paris.

Greek police made public statements saying they tracked one attacker from Syria all the way to France.  That ‘attacker’ entered Greece on 03 October 2015.

French police have already determined that the bombs used in yesterday’s attacks were made with TATP (aka TCAP, Acetone peroxide).   It has been used in past attacks in Europe.

In Germany, Bavarian police revealed they arrested a man last week after his car was found stuffed with weapons.  They now say the man was part of the planned attacks on Paris.

False Flag: French cops admit they were in contact with attackers! NATO invokes Collective Defense!

A commuter train derailed and crashed, then caught fire.  Apparently the train was not full of passengers and was conducting a test run when, for some unknown reason, it left the tracks and hit a bridge.  A local TV station said the high speed train was testing the new tracks and possibly left the rails due to high speed, five technicians onboard were killed.

French police admitted that they were tracking at least one of the now dead attackers, and that they’ve been in long term contact with three people just arrested in Belgium!

French police claim one of the dead attackers had a Syrian passport.

French TV commentators are questioning why the attacks were allowed to happen now that it’s obvious police were in long term contact with attackers, and obviously knew an attack was coming as demonstrated by evacuations that took place hours before the attacks started.  

U.S. and U.K. citizens confirmed victims of attack.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry made an announcement, in English and French, essentially saying the attack on France was an attack on the United States.  France is a NATO member.  French president François Hollande declared the attack an act of war.  Any act of war upon one NATO member is considered an act of war against all NATO members (Article 5).

Angela Merkel, of NATO member Germany stated “We will help you lead the fight…”.  NATO member United Kingdom’s David Cameron stated “We are with you. United.”

U.S. ‘officials’ are now referring to Islamic State by its Arabic name DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]).

False Flag or Semantics? France accuses Britain of lying about Islamic State murdering children!

14 November 2015 (23:49 UTC-07 Tango 01, 13 November 2015)/23 Aban 1394/01 Safar 1437/03 Ding-Hai (10th month) 4713

French news sources are accusing British news sources of lying about a video recently posted on the internet.  The DAIISH (DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham=Syria]) video shows dozens of males being executed.  The British Daily Mirror said they are juveniles and cited a source in Yemen for the confirmation.  France24 points out that one of the males being killed has a full beard.

This could be a matter of semantics for in many ‘traditional’ societies a male or female who is not married, has not procreated and is still living with parents is considered a juvenile even if they’re in their late 20s.

This explains why you see videos or pics from Palestine saying the Israelis killed another “girl” or “boy” even though the girls/boys being killed are in their 20s.  If they’re living with parents and are not married or hadn’t had children then in that society they are still ‘girls’ or ‘boys’.

And for those of you in more ‘traditional’ societies reading this, in ‘western’ societies a person is now considered an adult when they reach a specific age, in some ‘western’ countries it’s 17, others it can be 21.

Up until the mid-20th century (Gregorian Calendar system) there were many ‘western’ countries that still considered unmarried ‘adults’ living with mom and dad to be juveniles.  And if a ‘girl’ reaches her 30s without being married she’s an Old Maid.

British Empire, let slip the dogs of war: Islamic State DAIISH

False Flag: French evacuations began hours before terrorist attacks! How did so many people get so many guns in anti-gun country?

14 November 2015 (20:33 UTC-07 Tango 01, 13 November 2015)/23 Aban 1394/01 Safar 1437/03 Ding-Hai (10th month) 4713

160 people killed, 200+ wounded.  1,500 French soldier patrolling the streets of Paris.

Live news reports say the German foosball team was evacuated from their Paris hotel “just hours” before the terrorist attacks began. Die Mannschaft team members revealed the evacuations on social media.  Despite being evacuated from their hotel they were told to go ahead and play their scheduled soccer match.   In video of the game you can hear explosions in the background.  There are reports that French police evacuated several other Parisian locations before the attacks began.

In a possible retaliation, a refugee camp in Calais was set on fire, so far no reports of any refugees hurt.  The entire country of France is locked down (state of emergency/martial law), the borders are closed for the first time since World War 2 (more than 70 years ago).

One reporter asked the question how could so many guns and explosives get into the hands of so many people in a country that has such strict ant-weapons laws?

One analysts stated that he fears that ‘western’ U.S.-led NATO will use this as an excuse to declare war on Syria, even though the Syrian government itself is fighting the same terrorists within its borders.

Anti-gun laws fail to stop record gun sales, blame illegal immigrants!

The Future of Fish Fry: The dead in Japan can now procreate!

Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology claim they’ve created a way to create new life from the frozen dead!

Actually they discovered that stem cells in frozen trout can remain viable for three years.  They transplanted the cells into live trout and those cells were able to grow and create eggs and sperm and eventually baby fish (aka Fry).

No, not that kind of Fry!

Until now the conventional wisdom said cells of frozen creatures were no longer viable.

“The ICC therefore has jurisdiction over Rome Statute crimes committed on the territory of Afghanistan…..

…the Office has found that the information available provides a reasonable basis to believe that crimes under articles 7 and 8 of the Statute have been committed in the situation in Afghanistan, including crimes against humanity of murder under article 7(1)(a), and imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty under article 7(1)(e); murder under article 8(2)(c)(i); cruel treatment under article 8(2)(c)(i); outrages upon personal dignity under article 8(2)(c)(ii); the passing of sentences and carrying out of executions without previous judgement pronounced by a regularly constituted court under article 8(2)(c)(iv); intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population or against individual civilians under article 8(2)(e)(i); intentionally directing attacks against personnel, material, units or vehicles involved in a humanitarian assistance under article 8(2)(e)(iii); intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to education, cultural objects, places of worship and similar institutions under article 8(2)(e)(iv); and treacherously killing or wounding a combatant adversary under article 8(2)(e)(ix).

…The information available suggests that victims [of the United States] were deliberately subjected to physical and psychological violence, and that crimes were allegedly committed with particular cruelty and in a manner that debased the basic human dignity of the victims. The infliction of ‘enhanced interrogation techniques,’ applied cumulatively and in combination with each other over a prolonged period of time, would have caused serious physical and psychological injury to the victims. Some victims reportedly exhibited psychological and behavioural issues, including hallucinations, paranoia, insomnia, and attempts at self-harm and self-mutilation.”–Report on Preliminary Examination Activities (2015), The Office of the Prosecutor, International Criminal Court

Dumbing Down Japan: ‘Secret’ order to eliminate ‘thinking’ classes revealed! “attempt by the government to produce people who accept what it does without criticism.”

08 November 2015 (09:57 UTC-07 Tango 01)/17 Aban 1394/25 Muharram 1437/27 Ding-Hai 4713

Back in June the U.S. backed neo-imperialist government of Japan ordered all 86 taxpayer funded universities to “abolish or convert” courses that are not considered useful to big corporations (using the the Orwellian doublespeak term “society’s needs” when they really meant big corporations’ needs).  Those course to be abolished involve literature, history, philosophy and social sciences.

There is growing protests over the order to dumb down Japan:

“Pursuing studies of humanities and social sciences may not produce quick economic results, but shunning them risks producing people who are only interested in the narrow fields……Studies of literature, history, philosophy and social sciences are indispensable in creating people who can view developments in society and politics with a critical eye….Shimomura’s [Hakubun Shimomura of Ministry of Education issued the order to abolish such courses] move may be interpreted as an attempt by the government to produce people who accept what it does without criticism.“-The Japan Times

“…there is a need for the natural sciences as well as the humanities and social sciences (HSS) to work closely together in order to….play a vital and unique role in critically comparing, contrasting and reflecting on the way in which human beings and society operate.”-The Science Council of Japan

“…abolishing subjects such as sociology and philosophy just because they are not useful in business is incredibly short-sighted….business and making money is not everything in a society….”-Makoto Watanabe, Hokkaido Bunkyo University

Even the federation of Japanese businesses known as Keidanren condemned the order to dumb down their employees, basically saying Japanese businesses need employees who can think for themselves.
