12 August 2012, two Japanese Self-Defense Force (JSDF) mine sweepers left for military exercises with the U.S. Navy in the Persian Gulf.
The Uraga and Hachijo will join the USN for mine sweeping operations that begin on 16 September. 20 other navies will take part in the operation.
About 90% of Japan’s petroleum comes from the Persian Gulf area, through the Strait of Hormuz.
07 August 2012, there are reports from northern Syria that hundreds of Turkish soldiers and armored vehicles crossed into Syria. Turkey is denying such reports, but has already warned the Syrian government that they would invade on the pretext of fighting Kurdish Mujahideen.
There are reports that 40 of Turkish troops have been captured inside Syria, as well as the capture of a Turkish general in the Syrian city of Aleppo.
Witnesses to the Turkish raid said the troops stopped at a village, and were escorting a large number of militants who are not Turkish. The Turks also gave the militant group weapons including anti-aircraft missiles.
The name of the village is Jarablos (aka Cerablos), it is in the Kurdish dominated area of Syria.
Kurds have been fighting for almost a hundred years to regain their autonomous regions, which run through Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran. The Kurds lost those areas when the British stabbed them in the back after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, after the end of World War One.
The following quotes are from Major General Aharon Ze’evi Farkash, former Israeli Defense Forces intelligence chief
“An attack is not a single strike and once it happens we are in a whole other world. Iran will pull out of the [nuclear] Non-Proliferation Treaty…..and it will be clear that they need a bomb now so that we cannot attack them again. This means that Israel will need legitimacy to be able to maintain the operation with more attacks within weeks, months and years after.”
“Israel without legitimacy will not be able to, over time, maintain the results of a successful attack.”
“I think that within this window it is difficult to imagine that something will happen a month before [U.S.] elections.”
On 14 December 2011 the U.S. House passed HR 1905 (click here for more info). On 01 August 2012, the U.S. Senate passed their version, now it goes before President Obama to be accepted or rejected.
The bill affects other countries, not just Iran, and even U.S. citizens!
Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Human Rights Act of 2012
“I did not receive all the support that the cause deserved.”
While the U.S. crony capitalist system loves white collar crooks, allowing them to run corporations into the ground, and lose investor money to the tunes of billions of dollars, while still making millions of dollars in bonuses, the country of Iran issues true justice; they kill them!
On 30 July 2012, sentences were handed out for what turned out to be the biggest case of bank fraud in Iran’s history: “Of 39 defendants, whose charges were heard, the court’s judge has sentenced four to death and two others to life imprisonment. The remaining defendants received prison terms of 25 years, 20 years, 10 years, and less.”-Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei, Judiciary spokesman
The convicted worked for a company called Aria Investment Development Company. They used fake credit documents, and bribes, to steal $2.6 billion USD! The stolen money was then used to take over government owned businesses.
But the investigation is not over; at least seven Iranian banks were involved!
China also executes white collar criminals! Why not the U.S.? After all when white collar crooks destroy companies and basically steal investor money they are destroying lives! During the time of the Khans in Mongolia it was rare that a person would be executed for killing another human, however, execution was automatic for those who stole.
The reason was simple; someone who’s been killed has no more worries, but, someone who spent more than half their life building their lives, and their family’s lives, who then loses it all because of a thief, will spend the rest of their life struggling to rebuild, and in those times it was not likely that you could rebuild your life. Therefore, a thief is worse than a killer because a thief will cause you to spend the rest of your life struggling to get out of poverty!
But don’t kid yourself by saying ‘oh that only happened in medieval times’. Studies have shown that for most people in the United States, those who lose their life savings, or a good paying job, are not able to rebuild their lives to the point they were at before the loss, even after 20 years!!!
“…Saudi Arabia is left to draw up the Middle East’s new map.”-Haaretz, 25 July 2012
Recently an Israeli newspaper (Haaretz) published an article on Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s new intelligence boss; Bandar bin Sultan.
The following quotes from the article show that the so called revolution in Syria is actually an outside invasion, and that the United States is in bed with al Qaeda (after all it was the U.S. that came up with the name al Qaeda).
“…the main reason for his appointment now is that Saudi Arabia is preparing for the next stage in Syria, after President Bashar Assad leaves the political stage one way or another and Syria becomes a battleground for influence.”
“…his [Bandar’s] wife was investigated by [U.S.] Congress a decade ago about her connections to Al-Qaida…”-Saudi Arabia is ruled by royalists who are Salafi/Wahhabi Muslims, the same Islamic group that Osama bin Laden was part of, the same Islamic group that most of the members of the U.S. named al Qaeda belong to, the same Islamic group that the 9/11 attackers belonged to. 15 of the 19 hijackers on 11 September 2001, came from Saudi Arabia, not from Afghanistan, not from Iraq, not from Libya, not from Syria and not from Iran. In fact none of the 9/11 attackers were from Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Libya or Syria!
“…Bandar is considered the CIA’s man in Riyadh.”
“Bandar is a member of the part of the royal family that opposes the revolutions in the Arab states….”-This is proof that what happened in Libya, and what is happening in Syria are not revolutions
“…Bandar supported sending troops to the small kingdom of Bahrain next door to quell the Shi’ite revolt…”-Bahrain is also the HQ of the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet
“…also moved fast to support the new [military] regime in Cairo, depositing more than $3 billion as a guarantee at the Egyptian central bank.”-An attempt to stop the Egyptian Revolution from succeeding.
“…Bandar was the one behind the decision to give money to the Syrian rebels, and even to buy weapons for them. They say the Saudi demand that Assad step down is part of Bandar’s strategy, which guides the kingdom far more than the positions of the 88-year-old king, whose health is failing.”
“…Saudi policy on Syria is being closely coordinated with the United States…”
22 July 2012, a rebel group claims to have taken a third Syrian controlled border crossing with Turkey.
But as thousands of Syrians flee the fighting, there are reports that hundreds of al Qaeda fighters are streaming in to help the U.S./Israeli/Saudi backed rebels!
Most are coming in through the rebel captured border crossings with NATO member Turkey.
Regional reports say the al Qaeda fighters are coming from the French puppet Algeria, the Russian puppet Chechnya, the U.S. puppet Egypt and the U.S. ally Saudi Arabia.
Just want to remind everyone in the United States that 15 of the 19 hijackers on 11 September 2001, came from Saudi Arabia, not from Afghanistan, not from Iraq, not from Libya, not from Syria and not from Iran (in fact none of the attackers were from those countries).
So who’s side is your government really on?
20 July 2012, in an exclusive Reuters’ report, city of New York Police Department (who’ve suddenly gained the powers of an international spy ring!) are accusing Iran of at least nine terrorists plots against Israel and the U.S.
NYPD has released a report called Law Enforcement Sensitive. New York cops somehow acquired information saying the January, February and June bombings in Thailand, India, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kenya and Cyprus, were carried out by Iranian or Lebanese agents.
Reuters said unnamed U.S. Federal officials backed up the NYPD report. Since when did the NYPD become an international intelligence gathering agency of the Federal government of the United States (however, it makes sense as New York City is truly an international city)?
It’s interesting that this NYPD report is issued the day after the Bulgarian bus bombing!
In a fine example of lies, on 19 July 2012, the New York Times published an article saying U.S. officials (whom they didn’t name) supported Israel’s claim that the Bulgarian bus bombing was perpetrated by Iran and Lebanon!
Also, The Times of Israel even published the name of the bomber, but said he was from Sweden!!!
However, on 20 July 2012, Bulgarian media reported that U.S. FBI agents, and European Interpol agents, still have not identified the bomber! Bulgarian officials say the man had documents indicating he was from Michigan, U.S.A.!!!
Bulgaria’s Interior Minister, Tsvetan Tsvetanov, said airport security video showed the suspect as being a tall white male with long hair. Also, airport officials, and taxi drivers, said the man had a Michigan drivers license!
Kalina Tchapkanova, a prosecutor for Bulgaria, stated during a TV interview that Bulgarian agents had been tracking the ‘man from Michigan’, and that he entered the country at least one day before he blew up the Israeli tour buses (Israeli media says the man was in Bulgaria for five weeks!). They also have testimonies from taxi drivers who refused to drive the man to the airport because they were suspicious!
Bulgarian officials claim their agents notified Israeli Mossad! Sounds like yet another conspiratorial false flag event to me!
