Mormon temple in Dominican Republic fuels controversy by posthumously baptizing Holocaust victim Anne Frank, says ex-church member
Anne Frank— the most famous of all Holocaust victims — has been posthumously baptized at a Mormon temple, fueling the growing controversy over the bizarre practice.
The rite was conducted Saturday in a Mormon temple in the Dominican Republic, according to Helen Radkey, an excommunicated church member turned whistleblower.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints practices proxy Baptism — converting Jews, Christians and Muslims to the faith years after they died by ritually dunking a stand-in for the deceased.
Radkey has revealed that Mormons posthumously baptized thousands of people, including Joan of Arc, Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe and Barack Obama’s mother.
Fury over the discovery in 1995 that the church had turned more than 300,000 Jews killed by Nazis for their faith into Mormons led the LDS church to promise to quit baptizing Holocaust victims.
Hell Bubbles over in Afghanistan over US Koran Burnings

Four killed, many wounded in Afghan Koran protests – report
By Mirwais Harooni and Hamid Shalizi
KABUL | Wed Feb 22, 2012 8:09am EST
(Reuters) – Four people were shot dead and dozens wounded in protests in Afghanistan which flared for a second day on Wednesday in several cities over the burning of copies of the Koran, Islam’s holy book, at NATO’s main base in the country, officials said.
The American Embassy said its staff were in “lockdown” and travel had been suspended as thousands of people expressed fury over the burning, a public relations disaster for U.S.-led NATO forces fighting Taliban militants ahead of the withdrawal of foreign combat troops by the end of 2014.
The U.S. government and the American commander of NATO-led forces in Afghanistan apologized after Afghan laborers found charred copies of the Koran while collecting rubbish at the sprawling Bagram Airbase about an hour’s drive north of Kabul.
The apologies failed to contain the anger. Thousands of Afghans took to the streets again, chanting anti-American slogans.
Winning the hearts and minds of Afghans is critical to efforts to defeat the Taliban. Similar incidents in the past have caused deep divisions and resentment among Afghans towards the tens of thousands of foreign troops in Afghanistan.
Seven foreign UN workers were killed during protests that raged across Afghanistan for three days in April 2011 after a U.S. pastor burned a Koran in Florida.
A senior Afghan security official, citing reports from police, told Reuters that Western security contractors working at a U.S. military camp in Kabul opened fire on protesters and wounded several.
Witness Rahimullah, 17, said his brother, Ghafar, 23, was shot by one of the contractors in the right leg when he was throwing stones during the demonstration.
“He is right now in Daoud Khan Hospital,” Rahimullah said of the central Kabul hospital.
International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) officials said they were unaware of the shootings.
Later, wounded protesters along the busy Jalalabad road on the fringe of Kabul said Afghan police had fired on them.
CULTURAL SENSITIVITIES
Twenty-one people, including 11 policemen, were wounded in the capital, said Mohammad Zahir, head of Kabul police’s crimes unit. They included the city police chief, Ayoub Salangi, who was hit in the ankle by a stone.
In Parwan province, home Bagram, two people were shot dead by Afghan police and 13 wounded while attacking offices, provincial spokesman Roshan Khalid said.
A protester was shot dead by police in Logar province, east of the capital, the governor’s spokesman, Deen Mohammad Darwish, said.
Afghan health ministry spokesman Ghulam Sakhi Kargar said one person also died in hospital in Kabul from gunshot wounds received during one of two shooting incidents at protests in at least four areas of the capital.
Critics say Western troops often fail to grasp the country’s religious and cultural sensitivities. Muslims consider the Koran the literal word of God and treat each book with deep reverence.
Demonstrations by as many as 2,000 people broke out as word of the Bagram find spread.
Police said most injuries were caused by flying stones and sticks hurled by protesters. Demonstrators had charged police lines and nearby military bases at a protest on the edge of Kabul, burning tires and smashing vehicles and building windows.
Protesters shouted “Death to America!” and “Death to (President Hamid) Karzai” in a large demonstration on the outskirts of the Afghan capital.
“When the Americans insult us to this degree, we will join the insurgents,” said Ajmal, an 18-year-old protester in Kabul.
Demonstrators set fire to part of a housing compound used by foreign contract workers. A Reuters witness said the fire damaged part of a guesthouse at the Green Village complex, where 1,500 mostly foreign contractors live and work.
Outrage also spilled over in the Afghan parliament, where several members shouted “death to America” inside the legislative chamber.
The protests spread to several cities. In Jalalabad in the east, demonstrators praised the leader of the Afghan Taliban, the secretive Mullah Mohammad Omar, screaming “Long live Mullah Omar!”, Reuters witnesses said. Five people were wounded, the governor’s spokesman said.
Afghan media said demonstrations had also erupted in the province of Parwan, near the capital.
In Logar province, hundreds protested in front of the governor’s office. Some threw stones. Separate protests were also under way in Jalalabad in the east.
Some protesters burned U.S. flags and shouted “Death to America”. Others torched fuel tankers near the city’s airport.
In neighboring Pakistan’s largest city Karachi, around a hundred Islamic seminary students protested against the Koran burnings.
“Pakistan’s government should summon the American ambassador and demand an apology. And if he doesn’t apologize, he should be kicked out of the country,” said Abdul Basit, one of the protest leaders.
Others took a harder line.
“No forgiveness for the desecrators of the Koran,” a section of the crowd shouted. “Only death.”

World Health Organization Decides to Release Research on Super Flu That Could Wipe Out Humanity

The Intel Hub
February 18, 2012
The World Health Organization has decided to release research on a deadly (man made) super flu in a move that shows just how far the WHO may be willing to go to induce some sort of worldwide flu pandemic.
Since the moment that scientists in the Netherlands announced that they had a created a mutated form of the H5N1 flu that could literally destroy humanity, the internet and experts worldwide have debated whether or not we should release the research (a basic how too guide) to the public.
From a conspiracy viewpoint one must realize that the WHO and mad scientists throughout the world have literally worked to depopulate the planet and, in some circles, have laughed about the possibility of this happening.
An article from The New York Times outlined the World Health Organizations supposed reasons for releasing this deadly information:
The announcement, made on Friday by the World Health Organization, follows two months of heated debate about the flu research. The recommendation to publish the work in full came from a meeting of 22 experts in flu and public health from various countries who met on Thursday and Friday in Geneva at the organization’s headquarters to discuss “urgent issues” raised by the research.
Most of the group felt that any theoretical risk of the virus’s being used by terrorists was far outweighed by the “real and present danger” of similar flu viruses in the wild, and by the need to study them and freely share information that could help identify the exact changes that might signal that a virus is developing the ability to cause a pandemic, said Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who represented the United States at the meeting.
The natural form of the virus being studied has infected millions of birds, mostly in poor countries in Asia, and although it does not often infect people, it has a high death rate when it does. If the virus were to develop the ability to infect humans more easily, and to spread from person to person — which it almost never does now — it could kill millions of people.
The article goes on to say that the United States was not part of the consensus to release the research when in reality the US government actually funded the initial projects that lead to this super flu being created!
In an article published on January 8th, theintelhub.com exposed the fact that even though homeland security officials publicly expressed concern over the release of this research they were in reality part of the reason the research took place in the first place.
The United States government funded the research of the scientists in the Netherlands who created a mutated form of the H5N1 flu that could, if released, literally destroy humanity.
The research and experiments have lead to an intense debate with supporters (mad scientists?) wanting to release the recipe and detractors worried that doing such a thing could lead to the virus being introduced into the population which in turn could end the world as we know it.
Scientists and officials have claimed that the reason they purposely genetically altered the virus to become more contagious is to be able to further research the virus and possibly come up with a way to fight it.
In reality we do not actually know if this virus will ever mutate to the strength that the weaponized version has obtained and the idea that we should actually create the pandemic scenario and put it in the hands of people who want to release it to the public just in case it ever happens seems behind ridiculous and highly suspicious.
We essentially have the US government, mad scientists who enjoy creating deadly flu viruses (to save us from them of course) and the World Health Organization working in tandem to release information that if in the wrong hands could prove disastrous for the entire world.
Fukushima manager dismisses fears that nuclear reactors are overheating again

Yeah… We have heard that one before. Nice try…
Takeshi Takahashi says removing melted nuclear fuel will be difficult, but blames overheating fears on faulty thermometer
Fukushima Daiichi manager says nuclear power plant is now in ‘a state of cold shutdown’ Link to this video
The manager of the Fukushima Daiichi power plant in Japan has conceded that it will be very difficult to remove the facility’s melted nuclear fuel, but dismissed fears that one of the damaged reactors had started overheating again.
“Our main challenge is to now remove the nuclear fuel from the reactors,” Takeshi Takahashi told visiting journalists on Monday. “Technically it’s a very difficult problem, but we want to take it step by step.”
Takahashi apologised repeatedly for the turmoil last year’s accident at the plant had caused the people of Japan, and thanked the international community for its support.
Three of Fukushima Daiichi’s six reactors suffered meltdown in the hours after Japan’s north-east coastline was devastated by a magnitude-9.0 earthquake and tsunami on the afternoon of 11 March.
More than 100,000 residents from the area have had to leave their homes, and are unsure when, or if, they can return.
The government announced in December that the plant had reached “cold shutdown” – a safe state achieved when temperatures inside the reactors stay below boiling point and radioactive leaks are kept to a minimum.
But fears rose this month that fuel in the No 2 reactor was heating up again, prompting the plant’s operator, Tokyo Electric Power (Tepco) to inject more cooling water along with boric acid, which is used to prevent a nuclear chain reaction.
Asked repeatedly to explain the dramatic rise in temperature, Takahashi said the cause had been traced to a faulty thermometer, one of three inside the unit.
“The plant has reached a state of cold shutdown,” he said. “We will now try to allow people to return to their homes as soon as possible.”
Takahashi, who looked pale and exhausted, dismissed questions about his health. He took charge of the plant in December after his predecessor, Masao Yoshida, took early retirement to receive treatment for cancer of the oesophagus.
Tepco officials said Yoshida’s diagnosis was not linked to his exposure to high radiation levels in the early days of the crisis when, he later admitted, he and his colleagues were convinced they would die.
Evidence of the damage inflicted on the ageing plant remains nearly a year on from the disaster.
Of the three reactors that went into meltdown, one is covered with tarpaulin and another appears intact, but the third is a mess of tangled metal. High radiation levels persist in areas close to the most badly damaged reactors.
About 100 new storage tanks, each capable of holding 1,000 tonnes of liquid, have been installed to store contaminated water from the reactor buildings. The water is then purified and used again to cool damaged fuel. The existing tanks will be full by April, Tepco said.
Yasuki Hibi, an engineer for a construction firm, said conditions at the plant had improved significantly in recent months, but added that workers were still limited to two three-hour shifts a day. “Radiation levels inside reactor No 3 are still too high for us to enter,” he said.
About 3,000 people continue to work at the plant each day, according to Tepco. They monitor radiation, decontaminate workers and vehicles, prepare uniforms and equipment, and clear radioactive rubble and other material.
Kazuhiro Sakamoto, who hires workers and buys equipment for a Tepco affiliate, said: “The worst time was when radiation levels reached 250 millisieverts a year [a temporary upper exposure limit the government introduced soon after the accident].
“We couldn’t find enough people to do the work, and we could only work in two-minute bursts.”
“Democracy” at Work – Polls open in Yemen with sole US-backed Presidential candidate

Wouldn't it be great if they had an election and no one showed up (like in the USA) - Too bad these people like to eat, and don't like Jail...
PressTV (Iran)
The polls opened Tuesday, with 12 million eligible voters, and the sole candidate Vice President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi.
The election is to put an end to Yemen’s Ali Abdullah Saleh’s 33-year rule and formally transfer power to his assistant, Hadi.
However, the country’s major opposition groups, including the Southern Movement and the Southern Shia group have boycotted the election, demanding the removal of the regime that abounds with Saleh-era officials.
Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama has thrown Washington’s weight behind Yemen’s election, offering his support to Hadi.
In a letter to the Yemeni vice president, Obama said Yemen could be an example of the peaceful transition of power in the Middle East.
This is while demonstrations are expected to continue in Yemen as protesters say their revolution will not end until Saleh and all corrupt government officials are put behind bars.
On Monday, several polling stations were the target of bomb attacks prior to the beginning of the polls in the southern province of Aden and the southern port city of al-Makla, with no reports of casualties. The protesters also blocked roads leading to five villages in Daleh province, making it impossible for poll organizers to send ballot boxes there.
Saleh is currently in the US for medical treatment. He left Yemen in mid-January, shortly after the country’s parliament passed a law which grants him full immunity from prosecution.
Pakistan won’t help US attack Iran, says Zardari

Just like Bush Jr - O'Bomba is a UNITER... Of our "enemies", and a divider at Home
ISLAMABAD – Pakistan will not assist the US if it attacks Iran, Islamabad Friday assured Tehran.
Pakistan will not provide Americans airbases to launch attack on its neighbour, President Asif Ali Zardari said after the third trilateral summit of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan.
At the summit the three states expressed their resolve to work collectively for peace and stability in the region and enhancement of mutual cooperation in different sectors, particularly economy and trade.
Addressing a joint news conference, along with his Iranian and Afghan counterparts Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hamid Karzai, President Zardari emphatically stated that Pakistan’s relationship with the brethren countries cannot be undermined by the international pressure of any kind. “Pakistan and Iran need each other and no foreign pressure can hinder their ties.”
This is the first categorical assurance of support to Tehran from the highest echelons of Islamabad, whose own ties with the Washington came under a severe strain in November last year after Nato airstrikes on two Pakistani Army checkposts in Mohmand Agency killed over two dozen soldiers prompting Islamabad to take steps including stopping the passage of Nato supplies through the country and boycott of an international conference on Afghanistan.
About international pressure on Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project, the head of the state facing chronic energy shortages, said Pakistan is lobbying the world and our point of view has been looked at and accepted. A private TV channel reported that Tehran has offered Islamabad to double the gas supply promised under Iran-Pakistan gasline project. Zardari said Iran and Pakistan are neighbours and both the countries need to inter-depend on each other for prosperity of the region.
Iranian President Mehmood Ahmadinejad said several of the problems have been imposed on the region by outside forces. “There are countries which have targeted our region for their dominance.” He advocated for enhancing regional cooperation and putting in use all resources to address these problems.
Ahmadinejad also said that nuclear-armed nations were not superior to others, a day after his sanctions-hit government told world powers it was ready to resume stalled atomic talks. “(The) nuclear bomb is not going to bring about superiority,” he told while addressing the predominantly English-speaking audience through a translator.
Ahmadinejad said Iran’s relationship with nuclear-armed Pakistan was an example of an alliance that “is not because of nuclear bomb or weapons… The foundation of our political relationship is humanitarian and is based on common cultural values… Promoting peace and fraternity are the common goals of the three countries and our nations. We have got hopes to a victory in future.”
Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who reportedly adopted a hard line during Thursday’s delegation-level talks between Islamabad and Kabul, appeared to be toned down during the joint press conference. However, he said the impediments in the way of Pakistan-Afghanistan cooperation need to be removed sooner than later and stressed the need for evolving an actionable policy to deal with all the confronting issues.
Karzai also said the recent engagements between the two countries have been fruitful and deep in understanding each other’s point of view. Expressing satisfaction over his meetings with Pakistani leadership, Hamid Karzai said the tripartite summit was futuristic, recognising the opportunities and dangers that surround the region.
President Zardari denied that Pakistan’s military played a double game in the 10-year war in Afghanistan, but admitted that private Pakistanis may be involved. “I deny this notion that any of our armed forces are directly or indirectly involved,” he said when asked about the alleged involvement of Pakistani spies and officials in the “war on terror”.
“Yes I cannot deny that there is a residue in Pakistan of the war that was fought against the Soviet Union,” he said referring to Pakistan’s involvement in the 1980s war in Afghanistan that gave rise to the Taliban and al-Qaeda.
“We cannot deny may be there are people among our population who are involved in this, but this is a world problem,” Zardari said, adding, “The three presidents you see sitting together, we shall fight this menace. Nobody is more concerned or more involved in it than me personally,” he said.
President Zardari thanked the visiting presidents for coming to Pakistan to attend the trilateral summit. He invited the Iranian president to make a bilateral visit to Pakistan at the earliest.
The Iranian president said Thursday’s summit in Islamabad and the next to be held in Kabul are going to have very positive impacts for people of the three countries. He said Iranian people greatly value their brotherly relations with Pakistan and hoped these will further augment in future.
Earlier the three presidents held wide-ranging talks on cooperation in diverse fields focusing on cooperation in counter terrorism and transnational organised crimes including drug and human trafficking, border management and trade.
In a joint statement issued at the end of the summit, the three countries pledged to develop framework of comprehensive cooperation and to take pragmatic steps for realising mutually beneficial cooperation to promote stability, peace and shared prosperity.
The joint statement, signed by President Zardari and his Iranian and Afghan counterparts at the conclusion of the summit, resolved to ensure respect for their countries sovereignty, independence, unity and territorial integrity, as enshrined in the UN Charter.
They agreed to commence a process of trilateral consultations for an agreement pledging not to allow any threat emanating from their respective territories against each other. They resolved to strengthen cooperation for eradicating extremism, terrorism and militancy and to address the root causes of these menaces, condemning the killings of civilians as well as any kind of assassinations.
The three leaders also agreed to broaden cooperation in political, security, economic, cultural, social and educational fields and enhance people-to-people contacts including exchange visits of parliamentarians, academicians and journalists.
The summit mandated foreign ministers of the three countries to prepare and coordinate a Road Map for Trilateral Cooperation for submission to the next Summit.
It also mandated the interior ministers to develop a framework of trilateral cooperation particularly in the areas of counter terrorism, counter-narcotics and border management within six months.
The three countries agreed to enhance three-way trade by facilitation measures, including preferential tariff and free trade arrangements as well as barter trade. Commerce ministers would outline steps for enhancing three-way economic cooperation. They also expressed commitment to expand trade in transit and encourage the private sector to invest in the three countries.
The joint statement said Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan would cooperate in combating the problems of narcotic drugs production and trafficking and in combating transnational organised crimes.
They agreed to enhance connectivity through road and rail links; develop mutually beneficial cooperation in the energy, mining and minerals, agriculture and cooperate for the safe, voluntary and early return of Afghan refugees to their homeland in honour and dignity. They emphasised the need for enhancing their cooperation at international level, especially within the United Nations system.
The summit mandated senior officials to meet regularly to monitor the implementation of the decisions taken by the Trilateral Summit. The Fourth Trilateral Summit would be held in Kabul by the end of this year.
Earlier in his opening remarks at the summit, President Zardari said connectivity among the three countries is imperative. He tasked the foreign ministers of the three countries to prepare a roadmap for trilateral cooperation for consideration at the next summit meeting. “We must work together to realise peace and prosperity in our region. To face the difficult times ahead we should solidify our relationships,” he added.
Former IMF Head Strauss-Kahn held by police in French prostitution probe

LILLE, France | Tue Feb 21, 2012 7:47am EST
(Reuters) – Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn was taken in for questioning on Tuesday by police investigating an alleged prostitution ring run out of the northern French city of Lille.
A former finance minister once seen as a strong contender for France’s 2012 presidential election, Strauss-Kahn’s career and political ambitions came to an abrupt end last May after he was accused of sexually assaulting a New York hotel maid.
Strauss-Kahn made no comment to a crush of waiting reporters and photographers as he arrived by car for questioning at a Lille police station
Strauss-Kahn can be held for up to 48 hours and may then be placed under formal investigation for benefitting from misappropriated company funds. Investigators are trying to find out whether French executives used corporate expense accounts to fund sex parties with prostitutes.
Strauss-Kahn quit his International Monetary Fund post after the New York sex assault case broke, although criminal charges were later dropped. Linked later to the Lille affair, Strauss-Kahn said that he wanted to talk to police over the case.
The investigation is focused on a prostitution ring that allegedly supplied clients of Lille’s luxury Carlton hotel. Police want to establish whether Strauss-Kahn knew that women at sex parties he attended in Paris and Washington were prostitutes.
Strauss-Kahn’s lawyer Henri Leclerc has said his client had no reason to think they were.
LARGELY IN THE SHADOWS
“People are not always clothed at these parties. I challenge you to tell the difference between a nude prostitute and a classy lady in the nude,” Leclerc recently told French radio.
Eight people, including two Lille businessmen close to Strauss-Kahn and a police commissioner, have been arrested in the case, and construction firm Eiffage fired an executive suspected of using company funds to hire sex workers.
Using prostitutes is not illegal in France, but Strauss-Kahn risks being charged if investigators decide he knew the women at the sex parties were prostitutes or that company funds were used to pay them.
While his wife Anne Sinclair has revived her career as a journalist with a new job as news editor at an upcoming French-language version of the Huffington Post, Strauss-Kahn is living largely in the shadows.
Photographed occasionally out and about in Paris, recently in a scruffy dark grey anorak, he is starting to make a comeback on the international speech circuit but is otherwise rarely seen on the social circuit.
He is often parodied on the popular “Les Guignols” television program that uses puppets to satirize politicians. Strauss-Kahn is portrayed as over-sexed skirt chaser always wearing a leopard-print bathrobe.
Attempted-rape accusations brought against Strauss-Kahn last year by a Parisian writer were shelved by police in October.
The New York maid is pursuing him in a civil action.
CIA / Mossad Memos describe using a False Flag to go to War with Iran

False Flag
A series of CIA memos describes how Israeli Mossad agents posed as American spies to recruit members of the terrorist organization Jundallah to fight their covert war against Iran.
BY MARK PERRY | JANUARY 13, 2012
Buried deep in the archives of America’s intelligence services are a series of memos, written during the last years of President George W. Bush’s administration, that describe how Israeli Mossad officers recruited operatives belonging to the terrorist group Jundallah by passing themselves off as American agents. According to two U.S. intelligence officials, the Israelis, flush with American dollars and toting U.S. passports, posed as CIA officers in recruiting Jundallah operatives — what is commonly referred to as a “false flag” operation.
But while the memos show that the United States had barred even the most incidental contact with Jundallah, according to both intelligence officers, the same was not true for Israel’s Mossad. The memos also detail CIA field reports saying that Israel’s recruiting activities occurred under the nose of U.S. intelligence officers, most notably in London, the capital of one of Israel’s ostensible allies, where Mossad officers posing as CIA operatives met with Jundallah officials.
The officials did not know whether the Israeli program to recruit and use Jundallah is ongoing. Nevertheless, they were stunned by the brazenness of the Mossad’s efforts.
“It’s amazing what the Israelis thought they could get away with,” the intelligence officer said. “Their recruitment activities were nearly in the open. They apparently didn’t give a damn what we thought.”
Interviews with six currently serving or recently retired intelligence officers over the last 18 months have helped to fill in the blanks of the Israeli false-flag operation. In addition to the two currently serving U.S. intelligence officers, the existence of the Israeli false-flag operation was confirmed to me by four retired intelligence officers who have served in the CIA or have monitored Israeli intelligence operations from senior positions inside the U.S. government.
The CIA and the White House were both asked for comment on this story. By the time this story went to press, they had not responded. The Israeli intelligence services — the Mossad — were also contacted, in writing and by telephone, but failed to respond. As a policy, Israel does not confirm or deny its involvement in intelligence operations.
There is no denying that there is a covert, bloody, and ongoing campaign aimed at stopping Iran’s nuclear program, though no evidence has emerged connecting recent acts of sabotage and killings inside Iran to Jundallah. Many reports have cited Israel as the architect of this covert campaign, which claimed its latest victim on Jan. 11 when a motorcyclist in Tehran slipped a magnetic explosive device under the car of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a young Iranian nuclear scientist. The explosion killed Roshan, making him the fourth scientist assassinated in the past two years. The United States adamantly denies it is behind these killings.
According to one retired CIA officer, information about the false-flag operation was reported up the U.S. intelligence chain of command. It reached CIA Director of Operations Stephen Kappes, his deputy Michael Sulick, and the head of the Counterintelligence Center. All three of these officials are now retired. The Counterintelligence Center, according to its website, is tasked with investigating “threats posed by foreign intelligence services.”
The report then made its way to the White House, according to the currently serving U.S. intelligence officer. The officer said that Bush “went absolutely ballistic” when briefed on its contents.
“The report sparked White House concerns that Israel’s program was putting Americans at risk,” the intelligence officer told me. “There’s no question that the U.S. has cooperated with Israel in intelligence-gathering operations against the Iranians, but this was different. No matter what anyone thinks, we’re not in the business of assassinating Iranian officials or killing Iranian civilians.”
Israel’s relationship with Jundallah continued to roil the Bush administration until the day it left office, this same intelligence officer noted. Israel’s activities jeopardized the administration’s fragile relationship with Pakistan, which was coming under intense pressure from Iran to crack down on Jundallah. It also undermined U.S. claims that it would never fight terror with terror, and invited attacks in kind on U.S. personnel.
Iran nuclear crisis: UN inspectors arrive in Tehran
UN nuclear inspectors have arrived in Tehran for the second time in a month to discuss Iran’s nuclear programme.
Chief inspector Herman Nackaerts said his team’s “highest priority” was to clarify the “possible military dimensions” of the nuclear programme.
But he cautioned that progress “may take a while”.
Iran insists it is enriching uranium to use for power generation, but Western nations believe the programme is geared towards making weapons.
Tensions have risen over speculation that Israel may carry out a military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Dangerous arsenic in brown rice: Not just apple juice

An Apple a Day…? Topped off with “healthy” Brown Rice, MSG, and Chemtrail powder, Yum… Some call it a soft kill depopulation plan. Others just call it Greed. Anyway…So much for Monsanto’s FDA.
We need to get all poison food Labled with THIS

First it was apple juice, now organic brown rice has been found to be contaminated with arsenic.
The Environmental News network reports that Professor Brian Jackson, director of the Trace Element Analysis Core Facility at Dartmouth College published an article which states that high levels of arsenic are present in organic brown rice and brown rice syrup.
Brown rice syrup is seen by many as a healthy alternative to high fructose corn syrup and can be found in many foods, including baby formula, organic health bars, and high-energy foods usually consumed by athletes.
The researchers found that the foods which contained brown rice syrup had higher quantities of arsenic than those without the syrup.
Jackson and his team used foods purchased via the internet or in stores in the Hanover, N.H. area for his tests.
Jackson’s article, which appeared in Environmental Health Perspectives, a peer-reviewed journal published by The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, also notes that there is an absence of U.S. regulations to protect consumers from hidden arsenic in the food supply.
Last September, Dr. Mehmet Oz, host of the syndicated Dr. Oz Show, caused a furor when he reported that some of the most popular brands of apple juice contained arsenic.
