Russian officials say they have documented that the chemical weapons attack in Aleppo province was launched by U.S., European and Israeli backed insurgents. Russian intelligence believe the insurgents captured the chemical armed rockets from the Syrian military.
The Syrian government says the insurgents got the WMDs from outside the country.
“I saw mostly women and children. Witnesses said that people were suffocating in the streets and the air smelt strongly of chlorine. People were dying in the streets and in their houses.”-Reuters photographer

U.S., European and Israeli backed insurgents in Syria attacked the province of Aleppo with chemical weapons! The attack comes as the Western powers recognized a interim government composed of insurgents, including one who is a U.S. citizen!
U.S. supported insurgents launched rockets into a city in Aleppo province. The rockets contained chemical weapons. So far reports say 25 civilians killed, 85 wounded.
The government of Syria has repeatedly said they would use chemical weapons only in retaliation for a first strike by insurgents. The insurgents have made the first strike!
Western puppet media claims the attack came from the Syrian government. Who you gonna believe? After all the Western media has a proven track record of reporting lie after lie by their respective governments.

The Japanese government is filing a complaint with the UN Security Council, alleging violations of UN sanctions by DPRK.
Japanese Customs inspectors say they found aluminum rods on a cargo ship that had left North Korea, bound for China. The rods could be used for nuclear centrifuges, and are covered in the latest UN sanctions.
This is the first time Japan has found such contraband items from North Korea. The inspection of the ship was done under a 2010 UN sanctions rule.

A DPRK media source published an editorial calling for a Second Korean War:
“The Second Korean War has become an unavoidable thing, now that the U.S. and the south Korean puppet regime, barbarous provocateurs, push the situation to the extremity by resorting to the unprecedented ‘sanctions’ against the DPRK and the war drills to invade the north, condemning the DPRK’s legitimate satellite launch.
At last, time has come to put an end to the long cycle of the provocations and tensions which has lasted for a long time century after century.”-Rodong Sinmun

Reports that Asian stock markets dropped, along with the euro, as details of the financial bailout of Cyprus were revealed.
The European Union (EU) agreed to bailout the island country of Cyprus, but only if individual bank accounts were heavily taxed, in some cases as high as 10%!
Now Cypriots are making a run on the banks, trying to cash out their accounts. So far, in the ongoing European bailouts, Cyprus is the only country that has been ordered to tax bank accounts.
But because of the way EU officials avoided questions about the possibility of other European bank accounts being taxed, there is a fear that runs on the banks will spread outside Cyprus.
The 10% tax could end up being 12.5%, that’s according to Reuters. Officials are trying to change the bailout rules by lowering the tax for people with less than $129000 USD in a bank account, but the difference would be passed on to wealthier accounts.
If the Cypriot Parliament does not ratify the bailout deal, then there is no bank account tax and no bailout money. (they should do what Iceland did, default!)

One of DPRK’s media outlets, Rodong Sinmun, published statements making threats of war with Japan.
Japan has been calling for more sanctions against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Japanese media say their military officials estimate that North Korea has 200 missiles aimed at Japan.
The commentary from Rodong Sinmun says that if North Korea is pushed to launch a nuclear strike, Japan will not be spared.

Photos taken by Saudi Arabian activists show that the buildings surrounding the Ka’aba are being torn down, specifically those built during Ottoman and Abassid eras.
The demolition is reportedly being performed by the Saudi Binladin Group (a company started by the father of Osama bin Laden). In the past the SBG was involved in restoring holy sites.
It’s also reported that one of the sites razed is the spot where Abū al-Qāsim Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Muṭṭalib ibn Hāshim (aka Muhammad) began his night journey to Al-Quds (Jerusalem).
Saudi officials claim the demolition is necessary to make room for the exponentially increasing Muslim pilgrims. (this might be true as Islam is the fastest growing religion in the World, despite the U.S. led War on Terror)
Critics point out that the Saudi leadership is Wahhabi. In the past Wahhabist clerics have called for the destruction of Mecca.
In 1979, Wahhabi extremists (who might now be called al-Qaeda) took over Mecca. Western media ignored it because they were obsessed with the Iranian Revolution. The Grand Mosque Seizure ended when Saudi troops, and a Pakistani commando unit, took it back by force after two weeks of fighting. 255 people were killed, at least 560 wounded. The surviving 67 extremists were publicly beheaded. Iranian officials said the takeover by extremists was backed by the United States.
During the early years of Islam the arrogant elites of Mecca saved their lives by making a deal with Muhammad. They would accept the new religion and throw out the idols if their lives were spared and they were allowed to maintain their control over Mecca. (you see all these ‘holy sites’ of Judaism, Christianity, Islam and others, are just money making schemes, most being located on important cross roads of the ancient Silk Road)
Do you think Muhammad did the right thing by sparing the elites’ lives? On one hand I don’t like seeing historical sites destroyed, on the other I don’t like seeing historical sites being turned into money making idols unto themselves by being declared ‘holy’. (this is the main reason Jesus of Nazareth threw the money changers out of the Temple of David!)

Iran’s commander of the Kermanshah Cavalry Division, General Ali Hajilou, claims that in the past three months his forces have captured U.S. supported al-Qaeda militants trying to cross into Iran from Iraq.
He says his troops’ actions prove the borders of Iran are secure.
