“This is alarming, and much more extreme than we expected.”-Sharon Toker, researcher

According to Israeli researchers at Tel Aviv University, your stressful, nowhere job, busting your butt so unAmerican Corporate America can make more profits, is actually worse than smoking!

The study is called Burnout and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease: A Prospective Study of 8838 Employees

The study concluded that workplace burnout causes a huge increase in cases of heart disease!

U.S. city fights back against U.S. backed Global Gun Control. Gun ownership now mandatory! Gun ownership does result in less crime!

“In order to provide for the emergency management of the city, and further in order to provide for and protect the safety, security and general welfare of the city and its inhabitants, every head of household residing in the city limits is required to maintain a firearm, together with ammunition therefore.”-city of Nelson statement

The city of Nelson, Georgia U.S.A., passed a new gun control law on 01 April 2013.  That law makes in mandatory to own a gun!

The law exempts people who can’t afford to buy a gun, people with mental or physical problems, felons, and pacifists.

Neslon is the second city in Georgia to pass such a law.  Kennesaw is the other.

Kennesaw passed their law back in 1982, and city officials say it resulted in a huge drop in crime, by 89%!

“It did drop after it was passed.  After it initially dropped, it stayed at the same low level for the past 16 years!”-Robert Jones, Kennesaw Historical Society, statement made regarding crime stats from 1982 to 1998

By 2007 Kennesaw had gone 25 years without a single murder.

The American Civil Liberties Union challenged the law in court, and lost, because the law is Constitutional!

World War 3: North Korea re-starts nuclear complex! UN leader hints at first strike by United States! Reports that North Korea could adopt German economic laws?

02 April 2013/21 Jumada l-Ula 1434/13 Farvardin 1391/22 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

“…the current crisis has already gone too far.  Nuclear threats are not a game…….I’m convinced that nobody wants to attack DPRK because of disagreements about its political system or foreign policy. However, I’m afraid that others will respond firmly to any direct military provocation.”-Ban Ki-moon, United Nations Secretary General

The UN leader made the statement after the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea announced it was re-starting the Nyongbyon (Yongbyon) nuclear complex. 

“We are taking action to refurbish and reactivate the reactor together with all other nuclear facilities in Yongbyon including a uranium enrichment plant.  The decision is in line with our two-track strategies of building the economy and developing nuclear power at the same time.…All projects will be executed without delay.”-DPRK statement

The complex was shut down in 2007, as part of agreements with the United States, Republic of Korea and China.  South Korean officials said the nuclear complex re-start was a violation of agreements that could justify war: “I watched the report. It would be very regrettable if the news report is true.”–Cho Tai-young, ROK government spokesman

In Germany, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported that DPRK officials are seeking help from German economists and lawyers in changing their economic policies. Apparently North Korea does not want to follow China’s lead in economic policy, and is more interested in Vietnam’s economic model.

Breaking news: There is now International Gun Control, and the United States voted for it!

02 April 2013/21 Jumada l-Ula 1434/13 Farvardin 1391/22 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

The United Nations passed the precedent setting international gun control law, known as Arms Trade Treaty.

Three countries voted against it, 23 countries abstained.  154 countries voted for it, including the United States.

Read about Obama doing a one eighty on the Bush Jr administration’s stance against the international gun control laws.

World War 3: What the Israelis said in 2012 about the ever expanding Leviathan/Levant!

“….an axis of Greece, Cyprus and Israel and possibly more countries which will offer an anchor of stability.”-Uzi Landau, Israel’s Energy Minister, March 2012

“We believe the natural gas finds in Israel, which were duplicated in Cyprus, will also be duplicated in Greece.”-Gideon Tadmor, Israel’s Delek Energy, March 2012

Notice that Greece is now destabilized and Cyprus has been taken over by the IMF and ECB.  This could be because those two countries failed to sign deals with Israel over Levant/Leviathan.

Ever since the first Tamar field was discovered by a U.S. company in 2009, more discoveries are being made, making it look as if the entire eastern Mediterranean Sea is one big petroleum field.  Each new find seems to be bigger than the previous find.  There are now Tamar, Dalit, Leviathan, Mari-B and other areas known as Blocks (Cyprus sits on Block 12).

One commentator said back in 2010, about the possibilities of the Levant Basin Province, that “…God has a sick sense of humor.”

Cyprus, Leviathan’s Block 12 and Israel!

Government Evil: Cyprus, Leviathan’s Block 12 and Israel!

01 April 2013/20 Jumada l-Ula 1434/12 Farvardin 1391/21 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

I’ve been pointing to a possible connection between the financial take over of Cyprus and the recently discovered massive Leviathan/Levant Basin Province  petroleum fields in the Mediterranean Sea.  On 31 March 2013, Israel began pumping out natural gas from their Tamar fields (which is part of the larger Levant Basin Province).

At last report the Israeli company Delek Energy is planning to send some of that gas to Cyprus, then on to South Korea.  The Israeli government told Delek Energy to hold off on its export plans, just prior to the financial takeover of Cyprus.

The U.S. based Noble Energy owns 36% of the Tamar operations.

Control over Leviathan/Levant Basin is the real reason behind the U.S., European and Israeli backed insurgency in Syria and Lebanon, and efforts to keep Egypt destabilized, as well as Tunis and Libya.

Libya, Tunis, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey and Greece border, or are strategically located near Levant Basin Province. If you look at a map of the Mediterranean, then draw a line straight south from Greece to Libya, the area under the Sea east of that line has become of extreme importance to western governments.

Cyprus borders an area known as Block 12 of the Levant fields.  Noble Energy, and Delek Energy have been working a deal to work the Cyprus side of Block 12.  Block 12A (Aphrodite) is estimated to have 7 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.  Other areas of Cyprus’s Block 12 are still being explored, but have already attracted investment from France, Italy and South Korea.

According to the latest reports in the Cyprus Mail, the whole financial takeover of Cyprus is about who gets to control the money that will be made from Block 12 of Leviathan/Levant.  Even Russia backed off of bailing out Cyprus because they realized their ‘investors’ could make more money off Block 12 than off their Cypriot bank accounts.

War over Leviathan!

World War 3: Jordan to help Palestine defend Al Quds (Jerusalem) from “Judaisation”! Non-racist Israelis bar Palestinian Christians from Easter celebrations!

01 April 2013/20 Jumada l-Ula 1434/12 Farvardin 1391/21 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

“In this historic agreement, Abbas reiterated that the king is the custodian of holy sites in Jerusalem and that he has the right to exert all legal efforts to preserve them, especially al-Aqsa mosque. It is also emphasizing the historical principles agreed by Jordan and Palestine to exert joint efforts to protect the city and holy sites from Israeli Judaisation attempts.”-official statement from Royal Palace of King Abdullah II

On 31 March 2013, the Hashemite King of Jordan, Abdullah II ibn Al-Hussein, made a promise to the Palestinians, to defend Al Quds from Israeli zionists!  In return Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (aka Abu Mazen) declared the King of Jordan the official protectorate of Al Quds!

Palestinian Minister for Religious Affairs, Mahmud Habbash, said that not only are Islamic sites in need of protection, but so are Christian sites, as Israel has been attacking both.  Just this past western Christian Easter Sunday (eastern Christians celebrate Easter in May) Israelis stopped Palestinian Christians from taking part in Easter celebrations, even though many live just five miles from Al Quds.

According to U.S. President Barack Obama, Israelis are not racists!

Here’s what many Palestinian Christians are saying about the non-racist Israelis:

“For us, the Palestinian suffering started in 1948. Jesus was condemned to death, and we were condemned to nonexistence!  I’m against permits. I don’t even think we should ask for permits. Do they [Jews] need permits to pray? Why do Muslims and Christians who wish to worship pose a threat while they don’t?”-Nora Carmi, member of interdenominational Christian group Kairos

“There should not even be a question of needing permits to visit one’s own city! East Jerusalem is the occupied capital of the Palestinian people and freedom of worship is a basic human right for all of our Christian and Muslim citizens, a right which is being systematically and increasingly denied by a foreign [Israeli] occupying force.”-Hanan Ashrawi, Palestinian Christian and politician/activist (whenever she appears in U.S. media they fail to mention she is not Muslim)

“Last year we had buses from all the parishes, around 17 to 18. This year only eight buses came. Some places, like Jenin, did not get any permits and while we had four buses last year from Bethlehem, there was only one this year!”-Ashraf Khatib

“This day can be long and dark, and give us hopelessness as the peace process is not moving. But Easter gives me hope that no oppression or injustice will last.”-Bishop Mounib Younan, Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan

In the past Israelis have blamed the oppression of Palestinian Christians on Muslims, but that is countered by the fact that many Palestinian Christians are members of the Palestinian Liberation Organization!

Why hasn’t the Israeli controlled U.S. main streamer media reported any of this?  Oh yeah…

Iran defeats United States….with Chocolate Ice Cream!

01 April 2013/20 Jumada l-Ula 1434/12 Farvardin 1391/21 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Iran has just defeated the United States in the Guinness World Record for biggest ‘cup’ of ice cream.

In 2005 Baskin Robbins won the title with a container of ice cream that weighed a little more than four U.S. (short) tons.  Iran has just taken the title with a container of chocolate ice cream weighing five tons!

I’m disappointed because my favorite Iranian ice cream is rose water, yet chocolate has become the favorite of many Iranians.  Mmmm, time for me to make my home made rose water ice cream!

World War 3: U.S. cancels plans to show off F-22s to media! North Koreans vote for more nukes! South Korean leader begs her military to put aside differences! Polls show ROKies are nuke happy!

01 April 2013/20 Jumada l-Ula 1434/12 Farvardin 1391/21 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

Japanese and South Korean media outlets were disappointed when U.S. Air force officials canceled a planned viewing of the F-22s, supposedly at Osan Air Base, South Korea.

The planes flew in from Okinawa, Japan.  NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai) says they were told by USAF officials that the viewing was canceled on fears that it would “upset” North Korea, and that the situation has “changed”!

And at the yearly Supreme People’s Assembly in Pyongyang, North Korea (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, DPRK), officials voted to increase nuclear power and rocket programs.

South Korea’s recently ‘elected’ President, Park Geun-hye, asked her military units to forget political differences: “In this crisis of security, our military’s role is very important in securing the Republic of Korea’s sovereign power and security. As commander in chief of the armed forces, I will trust the military’s judgment on abrupt and surprise provocations by North Korea.”

She even revealed how important North Korea’s Kaesŏng Industrial Region (KIR) is to the economy of South Korea: “We should also monitor the safety of our people in the Kaesong Industrial District.”

According to Canadian media, South Korean capitalist corporations made $470 million USD worth of products using the massive North Korean labor camp.

Several surveys conducted in South Korea (Republic of Korea, ROK) revealed that many ROKies want their own nukes!

A Gallop Korea poll shows 64% want nukes in South Korea.  Another poll done for Asan Institute for Policy Studies showed 66.5% support South Korea making its own nukes.  The polls were conducted back in February!

World War 3: F-22 Raptors deployed to South Korea! Confusing media reports.

31 March 2013/19 Jumada l-Ula 1434/11 Farvardin 1391/20 Yi-Mao (2nd month) 4711

The United States has deployed F-22 Raptors to South Korea, however, main streamer media is giving different reasons.

Some media sources say it’s part of annual Foal Eagle war games, while others say it is a direct response to North Korea’s increased threats of war. One media source said it was both.

Also confusing is that some media sources say the F-22s were deployed from the U.S., while other sources say they are from the U.S. Kadena Air Base in Japan.
