Republic of Ireland back under the control of the British Empire

For the first time since the creation of the Republic of Ireland, royalty from the British empire has set foot on the island nation.  Queen Elizabeth II is in Ireland.

The government of Ireland has gone to great lengths to provide security for the queen’s visit.  The security is not to protect against outside attacks, like maybe from al-Qeada, but to protect the queen from the Irish people.

Already hundreds of Irish have demonstrated their disgust with a visit from their mortal enemy, a royal member of the British empire.  Even the Irish military has been called out to provide the queen protection.  That is a sure sign that the Republic has slipped back into the hands of the English (just like when Bush Jr paid a visit to the queen during his reign as U.S. President, the first time for a U.S. President).

Why is the queen in Ireland?  Officially it’s to “visit” and “pay respects” to those Irish who died fighting for their freedom.  Yeah, and who were they fighting against?  Elizabeth’s grandmammy and grandpappy’s empire, that’s who!  The real reason has to do with deals made in the Northern Ireland peace agreement, and the fact that a pro-empire political party has gained power in the Irish government.

But despite the tiny group of bought off Irish turncoats who’ve gained power in politics, most Irish still hate the English.  A recent poll showed Irish interest in anything to do with royalty hit an all time record low, with the recent royal wedding.

An Irish university professor pointed out that it’s not just British royalty the Irish hate, it’s any royalty: “The King of Denmark could arrive and no one would care – it’s the same thing.”-Gerard Casey, University College Dublin

It’s interesting timing that President Barak Obama will visit Ireland after the queen leaves.  Most Irish say they can’t wait for that visit (oh well, if they only knew).

British Special Operations soldier charged with raping little girls

A member of the Special Air Service (SAS) has been charged with 31 counts of sex crimes, including raping girls as young as six.  The soldier served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It took legal action by British media to make the case public.  The court case revealed that the soldier had been committing sex crimes as far back as 1997, years before the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.  For some reason the U.K. Ministry of Defense wanted to keep the case from the public.

There is another man being charged along with the SAS soldier, a paramedic.  Apparently the two worked together to commit sex crimes. The paramedic is also accused of using drugs to overpower victims.

Iraq announces military union with Iran

Could this be the real reason the U.S. doesn’t want to leave Iraq?  Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki made it clear that Iraq and Iran are coming together to act as a regional power.

On May 16, Maliki told Iranian media that Iraq and Iran will expand military, as well as economic, cooperation.  He said the ongoing situation in the Middle East (caused by Western forces) demands that the ancient powers of Iraq and Iran must work together to create stability in the Middle East.

Japanese Muslims sue government

14 Muslims are suing their government for spying on them.  Some of those suing the Japanese authorities actually worked for police to spy on their fellow Muslims.

It’s not just the fact that Muslims are being spied on in Japan, the Japanese police actually published their data on the internet!

This is not the first time police made spy data available to the public, resulting in a lawsuit.  In December 2010, a Japanese book publisher was sued for printing a book with recent police spy data in it.

Catholic sex crimes continue, Vatican says go directly to Police

A report from Ireland shows that sex crimes committed by Catholic leaders has continued, and actually increased.

The National Board for the Safeguarding of Children in the Catholic Church says in 2010, reported cases of sex abuse by Irish Catholic leaders increased by 38%, over 2009.

The Vatican has just released new rules for church leaders to deal with such claims.  Basically local Bishops have been ordered to report sex abuse claims to the police.  Critics point out that the new Vatican rules are useless because many of those Bishops are actually trying to cover up such crimes.

MI-6 admits the war in Iraq was about Oil for the British Empire, everything else is just lies, lies, lies

“The overall plan would need to be like an onion, each layer concealing the one below.”-Richard Dearlove, former SIS (MI-6) chief

When it comes to the long history of Iraq and the British Empire it’s always been about the oil.

The United Kingdom’s Secret Intelligence Service (aka MI-6, aka SIS-4) has revealed documents that show that the British interest in the invasion of Iraq was all about controlling the oil.

The report appears in the U.K. newspaper The Daily Mail.  SIS officers and the Blair administration discussed ways to “new security in oil supplies” by invading Iraq.  The British Empire first took over Iraq after World War 1, for the purpose of surrounding Russia in what’s called the Great Game (which many think is still going on), and mainly to develop Iraq’s oil fields.  Invading Iraq in the 21st century gave the U.K. another chance at controlling that oil.

The SIS documents also show that Richard Dearlove, then boss of the intelligence service, was concerned about the legality of the invasion. He wanted the input of “Government law officers to provide assurances of legality (there has been a serious problem here).”

If you need more proof that the U.K. was in the Iraq invasion for the oil, just compare how many oil contracts went to U.S. companies, to how many went to British companies.

President Ahmadinejad shuts down Iranian Oil Ministry, just follwing Iranian law

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad dismissed the Oil Ministry, and says he will run Iran’s Oil Ministry himself: “The Iranian government and Parliament (Majlis) have consensus on the Oil Ministry merger…I am the caretaker for the Oil Ministry.”

Iran’s Five Year Development Plan requires the merger of several Ministries, to make the government more efficient.  Those mergers are Roads and Transportation with Housing and Urban Development, Energy with Oil, Industries and Mines with Commerce, and Welfare and Social Security with Labor and Social Affairs.

Despite the fact that the mergers are required by law, under the five year plan, Ahmadinejad is being criticized by those ministers who’ve lost their jobs.

Some Parliament members say Ahmadinejad was supposed to get their approval before merging the ministries.  Ahmadinejad says the Parliament did approve the Oil Ministry merger.

Jewish Rabbi says Israel is an abomination to God, “it’s the State of Satan”

“God had put us under three oaths during King Solomon that we are never to rebel against any nation where we are law citizens and residing in, we should not go back in mass to the Holy Land, and we should not make any attempt to end exile. So therefore, the concept of a Jewish sovereignty is forbidden in Judaism.”-Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss

Not only has Weiss used the Tora to show that the creation of the Israeli nation is an abomination to God, but he used legal documents from 1947 that showed Palestinian Jews voted against it.  Many people in the West don’t realize that the Israelis didn’t force just Muslims into the refugee camps, but Palestinian Jews and Christians as well.

Israelis “…banished them (Palestinian Jews) from their homes.”

When asked how Israel should be described to Westerners, since he does not believe it to be a “Jewish” state, Weiss replied “It’s the state of Satan.” He pointed out that before the European Zionists arrived in Israel, in the 20th century, the Palestinian Muslims, Jews and Christians live together in peace.

Weiss showed photos of Jews being beaten by Israeli forces, inside Palestine, because they were protesting the Israeli government.  He’s outraged that Israel is considered the representative of Jews around the world, and the Western media goes along with it.  He called it “…the work of Satan.”

In reference to former U.S. President Jimmy Carter’s book calling Israel an apartheid system, Weiss said Israel is worse than apartheid.

Weiss said the Zionism that runs Israel was created by European Jews who hated their own religion: “…Zionism and its development into the state of Israel is a transformation of Judaism the religion…into base materialism, a nationalistic goal. It was created a mere hundred odd years ago by people who detested the religion…” Weiss added that Zionism is rooted in blasphemy against Judaism.
